What can we do to be more creative? What exercises will help us to achieve that? What can we learn with children?
That's the questions I try to answer through out this presentation.
The document provides 20 simple rules for success in work and life. The rules include beginning with the end in mind, planning exits as carefully as entrances, expecting unexpected events, focusing on what's most important, developing good habits, trusting intuition, choosing difficult right choices over easy wrong ones, and learning from mistakes. The overall message is that applying basic principles consistently over time can provide significant benefits and experience without needing to learn lessons the hard way.

On 19 June 2012 at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Landor CEO Mary Zalla gave two workshops to packed crowds on how to creatively sell creative work.
We all work hard to produce creative and, ideally, effective solutions. But we often don’t pay as much attention to how we share those solutions.
Getting the best and the most creative work produced is not just about selling. It is about inspiring your audience to see potential.
The first thing we need to do is to truly understand our audiences, empathize with them and their situation. We then need to have a few things at our disposal:
• Appreciation for the power of story versus plain facts
• Understanding of the confirmation bias
• Courage versus daring
• Awareness of the Asch Effect
• Fortitude and determination
Check out the deck from Mary’s Cannes presentation and read her article on a similar topic, “ Eight principles of creativity.”
The document provides information about the Niavaran Palace in Tehran, Iran. It was originally constructed as a small pavilion and summer retreat for the royal family in the Qajar dynasty. It was later reconstructed and expanded by Nasser-ed-Din Shah to serve as his summer palace. After the Iranian Revolution, it was converted into a museum complex comprising five museums, including the Private Palace which houses artifacts and attractions like the Blue Hall. The palace grounds also include natural attractions like the Niavaran Garden.
This document summarizes a course that provides training over 4 months on designing and marketing a signature program. It includes modules on productivity, creating a signature system tailored for clients, marketing and selling strategies, and automation tools. Students get access to live events and the instructors. The total value of the modules, bonuses like additional courses and Q&A sessions, is estimated at over $20,000. Interested students are directed to fill out a form for a 20 minute introductory session to determine if the course is a fit.
United Airlines airfare for a single adult from New Delhi to depart on December 2nd and return on December 13th is Rs 58,703. The traveler will stay at the Lucia Hotel in Portland which is offering a 15% discount on rooms and food until December 31st. The premium king room will cost $173 and exploring all the parks and wildlife of Portland area will take around 2 days.
Business is a ‘Game of Inches’ and not a one off event. 99% of successes come from many small, practical steps rather than the single ‘Eureka’ idea. Ask your people to invent the next iPhone and they get paralysed by the pressure. Give them achievable processes for everyday small-scale innovation and they can achieve greatness.
Having interviewed well over a 100 Australian business leaders, owners and entrepreneurs, definite patterns stand out. There are very actions they all take and behaviours they all adopt. It is clear that success is not about you you are but what you do.
As a result here's a short workbook which summaries these actions and behaviours into practical, down-to-earth advice. No gurus, No BS, just accessible know how from successful people doing really well on the front line of business.
The document discusses sustainability in museums and provides examples of how museums can operate more sustainably. It addresses sustainability from social, economic, and environmental perspectives. Museums can enhance sustainability by diversifying income sources, partnering with local organizations, sharing collections online, focusing on quality experiences over growth, and innovating in areas like energy efficiency. Thinking about sustainability leads to new ideas and innovations that can help museums better preserve collections, deepen community relationships, and contribute to progress for current and future generations.

KI University - Design decisions & patternsmfkaptan
This document provides tips and rules for design decision making and the design process. It discusses that design is about communicating something and evoking emotions. It emphasizes starting the design process through experimentation to allow for intuition and exploring possibilities. The document contrasts product-oriented thinking that focuses on a single concept versus process-oriented thinking that prioritizes experimentation. It recommends determining if one wants to strengthen existing skills or develop new ones. Overall, the tips stress balance, negative space, quality over quantity, setting your own rules, and periodically exploring new inspirations and routines to overcome blocks.
This document discusses creativity and innovation. It argues that creativity involves combining existing ideas to create something new. True innovation requires challenging existing ways of thinking and taking customers' perspectives. Innovation is difficult because companies tend to benchmark each other, leading to similar approaches. The document advocates rethinking how companies are run to foster a culture where new ideas are welcomed, risks are embraced, and failure is accepted as part of the learning process. Speed and action are important for innovation to succeed.
Creativity is “the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.”
“Creativity is the capability or act of conceiving something original or unusual,”
“Innovation is the implementation of something new.”
Innovation requires creativity to be possible, and creativity requires innovation to be useful.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
