Expressing Opinions - How to agree, disagree or show doubtsMariusz Mirecki
EXPRESSING OPINIONS
How to agree, disagree or show doubts and reservations? This presentation will teach you some practical language to express your opinions; agreement, disagreement, doubts.
This is a presentation for learners of English (level B1 and above).
I used these slides to introduce how to agree / disagree with my students. The students had to use the key vocabulary when responding to my "opinions" on the slides. Many of the slides are specifically relevant to Korea.
Icon fonts are becoming an increasingly popular way to delivery iconography for websites. They reduce HTTP requests, provide a resolution-independent way to scale icons, and are often smaller than sprites. In this session we'll explore what icon fonts are, the pros and cons of using them, how to make your own, and best practices for deploying them.

Slides for my Adobe MAX 2011 presentation on Optimizing Sites for Mobile Devices. In this hands-on lab, I explore the concept of developing a mobile strategy that approaches mobile as an equal partner in the design process, and explores techniques to help site content deploy across devices and contexts.
Slides from my 2013 Breaking Development conference workshop. We explore the tools and techniques behind building your own icon fonts, covering the entire process from sketching icon concepts to properly deploying your font. Topics cover include: designing icons, considerations for designing font glyphs, setting up Illustrator templates, working with Glyphs, exporting fonts, creating web fonts, and using icon fonts semantically.

Sight Word Phrases Teaching PresentationLynn Scotty
Sight words are irregularly spelled words that can’t be sounded out and/or are words that occur frequently in text and need to be recognized on sight. Sight word phrases are phrases that consist of one or more sight words. Recognition of these
phrases will help to increase reading fluency.
We use a language in order to fulfill different purposes. Example:Greeting, thanking, introducing etc. These purposes are called functions of language. We use different language items for different functions.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
