How to See God.pptx
We are here to experience life through ourselves and fulfill our dreams. Looking at nature, within ourselves, and having faith that we have an infinite soul and spark of God inside helps us understand that we can create anything we want in life. Though life may bring unpleasant lessons, they ultimately help us grow into better, more loving and compassionate people.
Faith Is...
Faith is relying on God's plan and purpose for one's life even when everything seems meaningless. It is depending on God's unconditional love rather than trying to understand difficult circumstances. Faith is keeping faith in God's strength alone when tired, discouraged, or feeling deserted. It means accepting that God uses one's scars and past for good, and having confidence that God acts for the highest good even when saying "no" to prayers.

Our childhood beliefs last for ever
I was an active happy child, wanting to go everywhere and explore everything.
If I was too adventurous for my mother, I was encouraged by my father. He gave me the feeling that I was free to conquer the world. “Everything you want to achieve, you can do it” he told me.
This certitude was engraved in my soul and I grew up with it.

It summarizes the initiative's achievements in introducing ICTs across the entire education system. It also discusses potential challenges for sustaining investments to fundamentally change teaching and learning. The report analyzes Plan Ceibal from the perspective of whole system reform and educational change. It recommends that Plan Ceibal focus on developing teacher professionalism, leadership, and continuous improvement to drive sustained, system-wide improvements in teaching and learning.
Are videogames educational?
This document discusses whether video games can be educational. It outlines several key elements that make a video game both fun and educational, including challenge/strategy, element of surprise, replayability, inclusion of new information, memorization, applying knowledge through context and cognition, and addressing gender and ethnic balance. It then provides examples of several game development companies that design video games to help kids learn, such as Big Fish Games, Broderbund, and Educational Insights, which create games around subjects like animal habitats, puzzles, word associations, history, and mathematics.
spoon feeding
The document discusses the issue of "spoon-feeding" in education, where teachers provide too much help and support to students so they do little work themselves. It notes this traditional teaching approach can cause problems when students are later expected to be independent and think for themselves. The document advocates teaching students to learn on their own by encouraging questioning and critical thinking over simply memorizing facts. It concludes with a Chinese proverb about the importance of teaching students to fish rather than just giving them a fish.
Gonzalez 10
The document discusses the concept of "spoon-feeding" in education, where teachers provide students with so much help that students do little work themselves. Spoon-feeding is seen as an outdated teaching approach where students memorize facts without understanding. This can cause problems when students are later expected to think critically. The document argues that teachers should promote questioning in students and encourage independent learning to better prepare students for further education.
Undervalued teachers
An OECD study found that fewer than one-third of teachers in developed countries feel valued by society for their work. The study examined working conditions for over 100,000 teachers in 34 education systems. It found that teachers in England work 46 hours per week on average, more than most other countries surveyed. The report also analyzed classroom behavior across countries and found that teachers in Brazil and Singapore lose the most time to disciplinary issues, while Poland has the best behaved students. Generally, Asian countries had higher perceptions of teacher status than European nations.
Let the children play
1) Play is a universal phenomenon that has been recognized by early childhood educators as making a significant contribution to young children's development. It is the leading source of development in the early years and is essential to children's optimal development.
2) However, play is undervalued and children's opportunities for free play are threatened as they spend more time in structured activities with little time for self-initiated play. Access to outdoor play in natural environments is also vanishing.
3) The article emphasizes that play is a meaningful experience that children engage in deeply and take very seriously, and that its sociocultural context is important for understanding children's pretend play in diverse societies.
bullying
1) A survey of over 1,000 UK children ages 11-16 suggests that many are hiding talents and skills at school for fear of being bullied. Nearly half reported playing down a talent, and over a quarter quit an activity they enjoyed.
2) Specifically, one in 10 children said they played down their ability in science, while nearly one in five girls deliberately underachieved in math to avoid bullying. Fewer boys (one in 10) reported doing the same for math.
3) The poll also found that 11% stopped singing, 8% drama, 9% dancing, and 8% quit a sport - all because of bullying fears. Anti-bullying week aims to highlight the issue and
critical thinking
Critical thinking skills involve using logic and reasoning to solve problems, conceptualize and evaluate information to guide beliefs and actions. Educators are focusing on developing these skills in students to think critically rather than just memorize facts. Strong critical thinking allows people to differentiate facts from opinions, solve problems, make sound decisions, and think critically about information rather than accepting it at face value. Developing these skills in students is important for academic testing and real-world problem solving.

This document provides instructions for a critical thinking activity. It asks the reader to predict what the accompanying text is about based on its title. It then instructs the reader to complete their KWL chart and annotate the text by underlining titles and subtitles, circling the year of publication, underlining recommended reading, and highlighting definitions of critical thinking. Finally, it poses questions about why educators focus on critical thinking, reorganizing statements, adding other abilities, providing activity examples, and sharing an opinion on the text.
music and learning
The document discusses how music can be integrated into the classroom to enhance learning. It describes three main ways music can be used: to help students learn information through techniques like active learning experiences, focus and alpha state learning, and memorization; to help students express themselves through creativity and reflection or personal expression through music; and to create different learning environments like those used in accelerated learning techniques. The document provides examples of classroom techniques for each use of music and discusses educational theories and learning models that incorporate music.

In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

To Believe
- 1. To Believe By Author Unknown To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning. It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true. To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds, To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon. To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart, The innocence of a child's eyes and the beauty of an aging hand, for it is through their teachings we learn to love. To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us. When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again. To believe is to know we are not alone, That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it. To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen, And all our hopes and dreams are within reach. If only we believe.
