Overall the tips encourage style over templates to make the presentation stand out and keep the audience engaged.

Is Non Veg Food Permited Or Prohibited For Humans Part 2 (By Dr Zakir Naik)zakir2012
Mr. Zaveri presented a response to Dr. Zakir Naik's arguments on the permissibility of non-vegetarian food in religions. He argued that Jainism, which he has studied extensively, clearly prohibits non-vegetarian food according to the teachings of Lord Mahavir. He also cited scientific arguments from doctors like Dean Ornish and Deepak Chopra about the health impacts of a vegetarian diet and the psychological effects of consuming animal products. While Dr. Naik responded that he never said no religion prohibits non-veg food and that Jainism is a minor religion, accounting for a small percentage of the Indian population.

ACW kan voor ARCO spaarpot van 20 miljoen aansprekenThierry Debels
Op het adres van ARCO in Schaarbeek vinden we diverse verenigingen en vennootschappen van deze Christelijke zuil.
Indien we de jaarrekeningen van deze vennootschappen bekijken, dan zien we doorgaans goedgevulde spaarpotten (liquide middelen en beleggingen). We houden geen rekening met vastgoed.
Bij FEMMA gaat het om 7,8 miljoen euro (liquide middelen en beleggingen), bij de Kristelijke Werknemersbeweging (KWB) om 4,75 miljoen euro.
Indien we naar alle gelieerde instellingen van het ACW op dat adres kijken, dan komen we op een gezamenlijke spaarpot uit van ruim 20 miljoen euro .
Het lijkt ons dan ook niet onredelijk om ook een inspanning van het ACW te vragen in het ARCO-dossier.

DevNexus - Building 10x Development Organizations.pdfJustin Reock
Developer Experience is Dead! Long Live Developer Experience!
In this keynote-style session, we’ll take a detailed, granular look at the barriers to productivity developers face today and modern approaches for removing them. 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method, we invent to deliver products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches works? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today so we don’t have the same discussion again in a decade?
