Kate Chopin was born in 1850 in St. Louis, Missouri. She grew up surrounded by women after her father died in a train accident and five of her six siblings did not survive past age 25. After marrying at age 20 and having seven children, her husband died when she was 32, leaving her in debt. Chopin began writing to support her family and had early success with her regionalist works set in Louisiana. However, her controversial novel The Awakening, published in 1899, which portrayed a woman's individual desires and revolt against social norms, was widely criticized and banned at the time. Chopin died in 1904 at the World's Fair from a cerebral hemorrhage, and The Awakening was forgottenThe Awakening

Romeo and Juliet is set in 16th century Verona, Italy during the Renaissance. The play is based on a real Italian story from the 3rd century involving the Capulet and Montague families. Shakespeare wrote the version in 1594 based on Arthur Brooke's poem from 1562. Society in Renaissance times was very different than today - marriages were often arranged, women had few rights, and children were seen as property that could be given for political or financial gain. Juliet, as a girl of this time, would have had little freedom or agency over her own life.Romeo and juliet social and historical context pwpt

The play is set in 16th century Verona, Italy during a period of religious and social change known as the Renaissance. Society was traditionally Catholic but becoming more Protestant, and families were headed by fathers who had complete authority over their wives and children. Marriage was often used to build wealth and alliances between families rather than for love. Romeo and Juliet's relationship defies the conventions of their time, where love was supposed to be courtly and from afar rather than passionate, as their union threatens the long-standing feud between their families, the Montagues and Capulets.SPHS New Building Pictures

1) The themes of the danger of blindly following tradition and the randomness of persecution. The villagers mindlessly follow the tradition of the lottery each year without questioning it.
2) The motifs of family and rules. Family ties are central to carrying out the lottery but mean nothing once the victim is chosen. The lottery follows intricate rules but they are arbitrarily applied.
3) The black box and lottery itself as symbols. The worn black box represents the villagers' illogical loyalty to tradition. The lottery represents any unquestioned ritual that is blindly passed downThe Awakening by Kate Chopin (Part 2; Critical Approaches)

Set in late 19th century New Orleans among the Creole community, the plot follows Edna as she rejects her role as wife and mother to find independence. Both Chopin's biography and the themes in The Awakening reflected the emerging women's movement of the time which advocated for women's rights and independence from patriarchal control.

Blanche prefers darkness and avoids direct light, which equates darkness with lack of romance and danger. The naked lightbulb in the Kowalski's apartment may symbolize harsh reality and truth. When Stanley smashes all the lightbulbs during his first night with Stella, it signifies his rejection of illusion. The "colored lights" Stella likes refer to places that mask the truth. The bright light when Blanche reminisces about her husband's suicide represents harsh reality penetrating her fantasies. The candles on Blanche's birthday cake, and her blowing them out, suggest the passage of time and inevitable fading of youth. Blanche uses light as a metaphor for both romantic awakening and the shattering of illusionsA Streetcar Named Desire

The play is set in a run-down apartment in New Orleans. Blanche Dubois arrives at her sister Stella's apartment, which she finds crude compared to her family's former estate, Belle Reve. Blanche is delicate and sensitive, while Stella is more earthy. They have a loving but complicated relationship due to their differences.

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!"Database isolation: how we deal with hundreds of direct connections to the d...

What can go wrong if you allow each service to access the database directly? In a startup, this seems like a quick and easy solution, but as the system scales, problems appear that no one could have guessed.
In my talk, I'll share Solidgate's experience in transforming its architecture: from the chaos of direct connections to a service-based data access model. I will talk about the transition stages, bottlenecks, and how isolation affected infrastructure support. I will honestly show what worked and what didn't. In short, we will analyze the controversy of this talk.No-Code Workflows for CAD & 3D Data: Scaling AI-Driven Infrastructure

When projects depend on fast, reliable spatial data, every minute counts.
AI Clearing needed a faster way to handle complex spatial data from drone surveys, CAD designs and 3D project models across construction sites. With FME Form, they built no-code workflows to clean, convert, integrate, and validate dozens of data formats cutting analysis time from 5 hours to just 30 minutes.
Join us, our partner Globema, and customer AI Clearing to see how they:
-Automate processing of 2D, 3D, drone, spatial, and non-spatial data
-Analyze construction progress 10x faster and with fewer errors
-Handle diverse formats like DWG, KML, SHP, and PDF with ease
-Scale their workflows for international projects in solar, roads, and pipelines
If you work with complex data, join us to learn how to optimize your own processes and transform your results with FME.You are not excused! How to avoid security blind spots on the way to production

Mitigating these risks requires participation throughout all stages from development through production delivery - and by every role including architects, developers QA and DevOps engineers, product owners and leadership. No one is excused! This session will cover examples of common mistakes or missed opportunities that can lead to vulnerabilities in production - and ways to do better throughout the development lifecycle.Enabling BIM / GIS integrations with Other Systems with FME
Enabling BIM / GIS integrations with Other Systems with FMESafe Software

Jacobs has successfully utilized FME to tackle the complexities of integrating diverse data sources in a confidential $1 billion campus improvement project. The project aimed to create a comprehensive digital twin by merging Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) data, and various other data sources into a unified Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. The challenge lay in the disparate nature of these data sources, which were siloed and incompatible with each other, hindering efficient data management and decision-making processes.
To address this, Jacobs leveraged FME to automate the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data between ArcGIS Indoors and IBM Maximo. This process ensured accurate transfer of maintainable asset and work order data, creating a comprehensive 2D and 3D representation of the campus for Facility Management. FME's server capabilities enabled real-time updates and synchronization between ArcGIS Indoors and Maximo, facilitating automatic updates of asset information and work orders. Additionally, Survey123 forms allowed field personnel to capture and submit data directly from their mobile devices, triggering FME workflows via webhooks for real-time data updates. This seamless integration has significantly enhanced data management, improved decision-making processes, and ensured data consistency across the project lifecycle.You are not excused!
