Streaming Analytics with Spark, Kafka, Cassandra and AkkaHelena Edelson
This talk will address how a new architecture is emerging for analytics, based on Spark, Mesos, Akka, Cassandra and Kafka (SMACK). Popular architecture like Lambda separate layers of computation and delivery and require many technologies which have overlapping functionality. Some of this results in duplicated code, untyped processes, or high operational overhead, let alone the cost (i.e. ETL). I will discuss the problem domain and what is needed in terms of strategies, architecture and application design and code to begin leveraging simpler data flows. We will cover how the particular set of technologies addresses common requirements and how collaboratively they work together to enrich and reinforce each other.
UPDATED VERSION (2011): http://www.slideshare.net/plamere/music-recommendation-and-discovery
As the world of online music grows, music 2.0 recommendation systems become an increasingly important way for music listeners to discover new music.
Commercial recommenders such as Last.fm and Pandora have enjoyed commercial and critical success. But how well do these systems really work? How good are the recommendations? How far into The Long Tail do these recommenders reach?
In this tutorial we look at the current stateof theart in music recommendation. We examine current commercial and research systems, focusing on the advantages and the disadvantages of the various recommendation strategies. We look at some of the challenges in building music recommenders and we explore some of the ways that MIR techniques can be used to improve future recommenders.
It’s easier than ever to create a startup around a new, innovative idea. But most startups fail -- and most innovative products never take off. What differentiates the projects that DO take off? What habits, behaviors and attitudes are shared by the teams who create genre-defining hits? In this talk, you’ll learn the 7 habits of breakthrough innovators - brought to life with front-line stories from the early days of eBay, Ultima Online, The Sims, Rock Band, Covet Fashion, Happify, Lumosity and Pley. You’ll come away with a smarter approach to innovative product design - and practical, actionable design shortcuts you can use right away to turbo-charge your path towards product/market fit.

Methods of Teaching of Pak Studies
Every teacher is different in terms of their ways, styles, and methods in teaching. The best teaching methods are those designed considering the interests of students and the subjects taught. Methods in teaching can be teacher-centered, learner-centered, content-focused, and interactive or participative. Each teaching technique has its pros and pitfalls. To make the whole process effective, teachers usually combine two or more of these teaching methods. Here, let us have a look at some of the most widely accepted and followed methods in teaching throughout the nation.
1. Lecture This is the most commonly followed methods in teaching in various educational institutions throughout the country. It is considered as the most ideal method for a teacher to address large classrooms. Lecture refers to an oral presentation of lessons to a group of students. 2. Class discussion This is one of the best interactive methods in teaching in which both teachers and students in the classroom exchange ideas on the topic of discussion. When used effectively, this strategy can help students to develop their thinking, learning, understanding and problem-solving skills. A good teacher can create a positive class environment where students can freely discuss their ideas.
3. Oral Questions One of the most commonly used methods in teaching. In this, instead of just a passive way of lecturing, teachers can encourage the students to ask questions in return. This in fact helps teachers to understand the areas that the students find it difficult to comprehend and to explain things better. This helps the classes to be more engaging and interesting.
4. Repeating points Instead of just giving an oral presentation of the lesson once, the teacher repeats the important points once they cover a subject unit before passing on to the next. This helps the students to recollect what was taught in the previous unit before going to the next. Repeating points would register the content easily on students’ minds. Some teachers also ask the students to repeat the points he/she just covered.
5. Buzz groups In these methods in teaching, teachers split the whole class into small groups and give them a topic of discussion so that the students can come up with ideas on the subject or solutions to a problem within a short period of time. This method helps to stimulate discussion and to get student feedback
. 6. Demonstration Instead of just giving an oral explanation of a subject, in these methods in teaching. the teacher produces enough materials or proofs to make things clear. For example, if a teacher wants to explain the functioning of a handy device, he/she can bring it to the classroom to explain it better and easily. In another context, it can be a demo of a step-by-step process that helps students to easily connect it to theory.
7. Presentation In this method, the teacher gives a power point presentation in the classroom. The slides include diagrams
Co-created presentation - "Who's a Servant Leader Anyway? Using improvisational theatre practices to sharpen servant leadership practices - by Shirley Rivera and Jeff Miller. Presented at the 2013 Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership Annual Conference. The workshop was described as follows:
"This workshop brings the spirit of the improvisational comedy television show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” to those on their servant-leader journey. Workshop participants will review the characteristics, philosophies, and practices of a servant-leader, learn the framework and rules of improvisation that can be used in a non-performance context, and have an opportunity to practice improv-inspired activities and simulations that demonstrate servant-leader characteristics, philosophies, and practices. After this workshop, participants will understand how day-to-day interactions are fun opportunities to use improvisational practices in being a servant-leader. "
There are so many ways to use Education Technology in the classroom. Here are 50+ ways that the Cool Cat Teacher, Vicki Davis, uses in her classroom. Technology can make any classroom better if you know the right tools to use. This presentation given at #UCET15 in Utah April 2015 has lots of tools to choose.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

I would choose orange juice because it is my favourite drink. It
contains vitamin C so it is good for health. It is a nutritious and
refreshing drink. It could quench my thirst. The price is
reasonable and affordable. I have enough money to buy it.
Although the orange juice comes in 300ml per tin, I think it is
still enough for me. I will get six tins of drinks and I could share
the drinks with my siblings and friends. This will save my budget.
Besides, it is packed in aluminium tin which is light and easy to take
