The document discusses the role of culture in community and economic development. It notes that culture contributes to strong communities by enhancing quality of place, reflecting diversity, and building pride. Culture also contributes economically by attracting talent and businesses, boosting tourism, and creating jobs. The document then outlines municipal cultural planning, which involves engaging communities to map cultural resources and integrate culture into local decision-making. Key steps include consultation, assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring progress. Finally, the document provides context on Ontario's culture strategy consultation to update programs and support for culture.
The document summarizes a proposed water project in Bungwe, Rwanda led by EWB-UCSD. It discusses conducting an assessment of the community's current water system and proposed solutions, gaining community trust, and identifying additional needs. The technical assessment found that a rainwater harvesting system using local materials would be a low-cost, sustainable solution. Next steps include designing and implementing the rainwater system alongside potential future projects like playgrounds and school dormitories.

Robin van Emden, Senior Director of Data Science at Network Optix, presents the “Building and Scaling AI Applications with the Nx AI Manager,” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, van Emden covers the basics of scaling edge AI solutions using the Nx tool kit. He emphasizes the process of developing AI models and deploying them globally. He also showcases the conversion of AI models and the creation of effective edge AI pipelines, with a focus on pre-processing, model conversion, selecting the appropriate inference engine for the target hardware and post-processing.
van Emden shows how Nx can simplify the developer’s life and facilitate a rapid transition from concept to production-ready applications.He provides valuable insights into developing scalable and efficient edge AI solutions, with a strong focus on practical implementation.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

inexistent in government policies. To present day the Govermnet hasn't
formulated a spatial development srategy. Last document of this kind
were elaborated in 80s, during the Soviet era.

no focus on cities with potentioal to become growth poles
etc.)
32. Possible solutions
• Elaborate a national long term strategy on urban development;
• Speed up reforms in administrative sector
• Adapt the legislation to facilitate an equitable development of
cities and towns on the whole territory of the country;
• To modify regional development strategies to include
integrated urban development at the core of regional
programmes;
• Allocate sufficient funds to implement those programmes;
• Focus on cities with greatest potential to become regional
growth poles;
