iDay (Independence Day)
I designed this corporate presentation for use at a retailer convention. We hosted a gathering for member retailers on a day dedicated to independent Christian retailers—branded Independence Day. At that time Apple’s iPod was gaining in popularity, so I decided to put an i-spin on Independence Day, dubbing it “iDay”. The Munce Group’s iDay event included a presentation from the Munce Group, our signature ‘From the Heart’ artist/author panel event and an appropriate iPod Nano giveaway, fully loaded with content from the artists and authors represented on the panel.
NOTE: I’ve abbreviated this presentation to condense the file size. So you may notice that some of the page guides in the upper left (1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc.) are slightly off since I’ve deleted some slides.

The document discusses the history and development of a new technology called blockchain. Blockchain was originally developed for the digital currency Bitcoin in 2008 as a way to record transactions in a secure, decentralized manner without the need for a central authority. Since then, blockchain has expanded beyond cryptocurrencies and is now being applied in areas like banking, supply chain management, and digital identity verification due to its ability to securely and immutably store data and track the exchange of assets across a distributed network.
The next big challenge? Digital literacies to support student learning
This document discusses the importance of digital literacy for students and supporting student learning in a digital age. It provides definitions of digital literacy from various organizations and discusses aspects of a digitally literate student. Examples are given of projects focused on digital literacy, including Learning Literacies for a Digital Age (LLiDA) and Supporting Effective Learners in a Digital Age (SLiDA). Challenges of ensuring digital literacy are mentioned, and resources are provided for further information.
Case study Online campaign của Pepsi Tết 2009
The document outlines a digital marketing campaign in Vietnam by Pepsi to promote their drinks during the Lunar New Year period from December 2008 to January 2009, which utilized rich media banners, standard banners, a microsite, and a widget to engage young consumers and embrace traditional values in a modern way, and analysis showed the rich media banners drove more interactions and the campaign met its objectives.
Prairie Chicken by Summer
The Greater Prairie Chicken is a 14-inch long bird found in North America with brown, black, orange and white feathers. It lives in undisturbed prairies with tall grasses, eats seeds, fruits and insects, and was almost extinct in the 1930s due to habitat loss. The males have distinctive yellow-orange combs over their eyes and elongated head feathers used in mating displays.
Womens Day Of Learning
The Holocaust had a profound and lasting impact on survivors and their descendants. While direct witnesses of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust are aging and passing away, their memories are being carried on through art, literature, film and the work of "secondary witnesses." These secondary witnesses seek to educate future generations and keep alive the first-hand accounts and memories of the Holocaust.

Pruning cooccurrence networks
Pruning cooccurrence networks involves removing low-weight links to address the density problem in networks. The document describes a method for pruning cooccurrence networks based on determining the interestingness of cooccurrences. It involves: 1) defining a pattern of interest, 2) determining the interestingness of each cooccurrence, and 3) linking authors only if their cooccurrence is interesting. Interestingness is determined by comparing the cooccurrence count to a threshold based on a fixed degree sequence model and z-scores. The method is demonstrated on author cocitation and bibliographic coupling networks.
Lyddie: Unit2 lesson6
This document provides context and instructions for a class activity on labor history and workers' rights movements. It includes:
1) A "Do Now" entry task that asks students to read and put timestrips about important labor history events in chronological order.
2) The timestrips provide details about milestones in limiting work hours, abolishing slavery, founding labor organizations, and passing laws protecting workers' rights between 1835-1970.
3) Learning objectives and discussion questions about how government and workers can affect working conditions based on the story of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers union.
Preparing in Isolation?!
The document summarizes research on teachers' use of collaborative tagging systems (CTS) to share educational resources. It finds that teachers generally do not develop cultures of knowledge sharing, preventing access to peer experiences. The study examines usage data from EduTags, a German CTS, finding it grouped users into communities centered around subject areas like science, humanities, and open online courses. Tagging resources together may be a form of collaboration between teachers.

Betting against the continued growth and innovation of the internet is a bad idea, according to Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Schmidt believes that human creativity and ingenuity will continue to drive the internet forward, making predictions of its demise mistaken. The internet's development so far has been fueled by people's ability to think of new applications and ways of using emerging technologies.

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha tenido un impacto significativo en la economía mundial. Muchos países experimentaron fuertes caídas en el PIB y aumentos en el desempleo debido a los cierres generalizados y las restricciones a los viajes. Aunque las vacunas han permitido la reapertura de muchas economías, los efectos a largo plazo de la pandemia en sectores como el turismo y los viajes aún no están claros.
Presentation1
This document discusses managing energy and focus through controlling thoughts and interpretations. It suggests focusing on positivity increases energy, while negativity decreases it. Proper breathing, nutrition, exercise, and reducing tension in the body and mind can optimize physical and mental energy levels. Interpreting situations positively rather than negatively enhances emotional flexibility and performance. Rituals, strategic breaks, and situational preparation can help trigger peak states of calm, inspired energy.

Humans of Open Source
Presented by: Christian Bromann, Sauce Labs
Presented at All Things Open 2020
Abstract: Every open source project has its own unique story to tell, whether it’s a small personal hobby program or a big corporate-funded project. A project always starts with a single person making a single commit and putting it on GitHub. From there the storyline writes itself and, if done successfully, it will highlight the most important component of open source: the people, friendships, and collaborations.
Putting code on an open platform like GitHub is easy. There is almost no friction when you iterate on your first versions of your new open source project. However once it grows and more people start using it, it often feels overwhelming when they start filing issues and requesting your support. This often leads to maintainers abandoning their projects as they get burned out and users becoming frustrated when they have to transition to a different framework. People often forget that building a community around an open source project is just as difficult and important as the solution that the project provides.
In this talk, Christian Bromann will share his experience of building a community around an open source project. He will provide various tips and tricks that help guide you through the difficulties of acquiring new contributors and will teach you important lessons he learned along the way. At the end of the session you will walk away with actionable ideas that you can apply to your own open source projects.

Open Source For Dummies By Kinshuk Sunil
This document summarizes an open source presentation about what open source is and why you should care about it. Open source refers to software where the source code is publicly available and can be modified and shared by anyone. Key benefits of open source include the ability to share programs, collaborate on development, get better quality software with fewer bugs, and create new business opportunities. However, open source may come with higher integration and maintenance costs. The presentation encourages learning more about the open source definition and debates around open source use cases.

-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
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

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.

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.
