From Manual to Auto Searching- FME in the Driver's SeatSafe Software

Finding a specific car online can be a time-consuming task, especially when checking multiple dealer websites. A few years ago, I faced this exact problem while searching for a particular vehicle in New Zealand. The local classified platform, Trade Me (similar to eBay), wasnt yielding any results, so I expanded my search to second-hand dealer sitesonly to realise that periodically checking each one was going to be tedious. Thats when I noticed something interesting: many of these websites used the same platform to manage their inventories. Recognising this, I reverse-engineered the platforms structure and built an FME workspace that automated the search process for me. By integrating API calls and setting up periodic checks, I received real-time email alerts when matching cars were listed. In this presentation, Ill walk through how I used FME to save hours of manual searching by creating a custom car-finding automation system. While FME cant buy a car for youyetit can certainly help you find the one youre after!

The SQLExecutor is one of FMEs most powerful and flexible transformers. Pivvot maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy used to support ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources that must be managed for quality before entering our platform. By using the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect problems and perform analysis before data is extracted from our staging environment, removing the need for rollbacks or cycles waisted on a failed job. This presentation will walk through three distinct examples of how Pivvot uses the SQLExecutor to engage its metadata hierarchy and integrate with its Data Quality Management workflows efficiently and within the source postgres database. Spatial Validation Validating spatial prerequisites before entering a production environment. Reference Data Validation - Dynamically validate domain-ed columns across any table and multiple columns per table.

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FMEs AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
油
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
The document provides essential tips on how to handle difficult conversations in a workplace setting, emphasizing the importance of preparation, environment, and timing. It highlights that many employees dread such conversations, often leading to avoidance and worsening situations.

- Living spaces
- dorm room

- first home with an SO
... deck it out. Make it personal
We do this with nearly everything. Laptop backgrounds, phone cases,
clothes, etc... I didn't pick this shirt because it was convenient, I picked it because I think it's hot. We bring things into our lives that reflect who we are, that allow us to share with others what we're passionate about. And we do that because it feels so good to be
surrounded with things that resonate with us internally.
#4: Since the greater majority of this room listen to music on a daily basis, why should the audio products we use be any different?
#5: Music is inherently a very social, expressive, and energizing mode of art, and I believe the devices reproducing the music should reflect these elements. I see the typical "black box" speaker as a blank canvas to be made into something beautiful, something that resonates with people on a personal level, just as their favorite tunes do.
That's exactly what Audiovert has been working on to provide.
#6: INTRODUCING THE HEXON
Introducing the Hexon, the world's first customizeable modular speaker system. In addition to the pumping volume and wireless connectivity standard to most systems, the Hexon goes above and beyond by, for the first time, enabling consumers to get out of their speaker systems exactly what they are looking for ...regarding price point, size, color, loudness capabilities.
While the home audio market is large, it is highly saturated with over-featured, middle aged male focused products and after-market speaker tin cans. Theres a disconnect between this products and what consumers are looking for out of their systems.

While the home audio market is large, it is highly saturated with over-featured, middle aged male focused products and after-market speaker tin cans. Theres a disconnect between this products and what consumers are looking for out of their systems.
#8: Specifically, consumers have control of the shape of their system and can arrange it as such.
#9: Not only that, they can make high-level
changes to the sound of the speaker.
#10: And the coolest part of all is that they can choose the color and designs of each panel, allowing for infinite possibilities of what your speaker can be like. The speaker is uniquely yours. A feature completely unique to a consumer electronics product.
* Currently sourcing designs from Chicago-based artists
#11: We're not just building a speaker system.
We are building a platform that EMBODIES the inherent personal artistic expression of music.
A product that connects people just as music does.
A platform that allows inspiration and exploration through shared expression.
#12: This product allows for growth. If at some point the speaker no longer suits your tastes, it can be rearranged, redesigned, and expanded through the purchase of individual face plates or speaker panels as opposed to an entirely new system.
#13: WHY IS IT A GOOD IDEA?
- Visceral feedback + numerous requests for pre-orders
- Success of companies based on similar ideas (Timbuk2, Threadless, Bucketfeet)
- Increasing popularity of wireless audio products
Increasing popularlity of IoT products
