Life in ancient Egypt revolved around religion, the pharaoh, and family. The Egyptians believed in many gods and that the pharaohs were chosen by the gods to lead the people. Family was also very important. Society was stratified, with peasants making up most of the population. They worked the pharaoh's lands and gave a portion of their production to the pharaoh. Priests, doctors, and scribes also played important roles. Priests cared for the gods in the temples. Doctors studied medicine to treat people and animals. Scribes underwent years of training to learn the complex writing systems. Slaves from foreign lands performed domestic and construction work but were sometimes treated better in noble households.
Los alumnos de 6to grado estuvieron trabajando con Miss Fabi en History sobre las distintas civilizaciones de la antigüedad. A través de la rutina STEP INSIDE, los chicos tuvieron como consigna “step inside”, es decir, situarse en distintos acontecimientos o personajes históricos y crear historietas (comics) que los hicieran verse más cercanos y concretos. De esta manera, se logró que los chicos abran sus mentes a nuevas perspectivas de los distintos hechos históricos.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Egypt life
1. Life was centered toward three pilars: Religion , Pharaoh and Family
The egyptians were polytheits. They believed in many gods.
People in Egypt thought that the Pharaohs were gods chosen to lead the
people and maintain order.
The family was very important. Men and women married very young.
Marriages were generally polygamous in royal and noble families.
Priest were permited to have only one wife.
2. Men were quite fond of their wives.
Men and women could work. In acient Egypt women were considered equal
to men before law. This was very different from other contemporary
neighbourg lands.
For example, women could own houses, employ workers, made business
and could became Pharaohs.
Women were also responsible for the home duties like cooking and taking
care of children.
Children were very important and were considered to be a gift from the
gods.
3. Egyptians lived in houses made of bricks and wood.
Most of their houses had one or two rooms, but rich people had big and
luxurios villas and the Pharaoh lived in great palaces.
Egyptians loved Parties, games and sports.
Rich people made large parties at their villas with a lot of food and drinks.
Musicians, singers, dancers entretained the guests
All classes enjoyed games and sports.
Egyptians had several board games and children played with balls, and toys
made from wood and pottery. Most popular sports were hunting and
fishing.
People also liked wrestiling, fencing and energetic games
4. In a great palace, the Pharaoh wakes with one of his wives beside him.
Servants enter the room, and help him and his wife prepare for the day.
The servants are wearing simple kilts and dresses, because they can´t
wear the same clothes as the pharaoh.
They wash him in a side room and put oils and perfumes into his skin.
When the pharaoh and his wife are dressed, they sit on cushions in a
courtyard and eat a small meal of bread and fruit at a low table.
Then the Pharaoh goes to the throne room, the merchants visit him.
After speaking with the official for a while, the Pharaoh dismisses him and
he takes a lunch with his wives and children. They are served a meal of
beef, vegetables, and fine wine.
5. In the afternoon, he relaxes with his sons, and plays a board game called
Dogs and Jackals. At the end of the day he joins his wives and guests for an
evening of eating and dancing.
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh controlled all the land and resources. He
decide to build monuments to honor the gods, and made decisions about
government, law, and policy.
He had to make a lot of ritual every day. He never goes outside without
something in his head and used special clothes.
Like all the Egyptians, the Pharaon was shaved. But he had to use a false
beard, like gods.
He had clowns, friends, musicians and dancers that always was ready to
keep him happy. He had a lot of wives but only one was the official queen.
6. • Not everyone learned to read and write in ancient Egypt.
• Only one group of people called scribes was allowed to have this knowledge.
• To become a scribe, you had to attend a special school for scribes.
• At this school you would learn how to read and write hieroglyphic and hieratic
scripts. These scripts are complicated, and there were many signs to learn.
• Students spent a lot of time practicing the signs by copying them onto sheets
of papyrus.
• It could take four to five years for a person to go through scribe school.
• Scribes usually wrote on papyrus with reed brushes dipped in ink.
7. • The role of the priest was very important in Egyptian Society.
• The Egyptians believed the gods lived in the temples.
• Only the priest was allowed to enter the sacred area of the temple and be
near the statue representing the god .
• Their role was to care for the needs of the goddess.
• During the day, they go to the temples and lights a torch, says prayers, lights
incenses, washes the statue and singers offer hymns of praise to the god.
• They were only allowed to wear linens or clothing made of plants.
• Articles of clothing that were made from animals were not permitted
8. • The Doctors studied medicine in a place called “House of Life”
• The Egypt state paid the doctors to cure free all the sick people.
• They had assistants who worked like nurses and massage therapists.
• The Doctors also take care of sick animals.
• There was a type of doctor for each specialty, because they had a lot of
knowledge.
• As Egypt had large constructions, they knew how to treat any kind of
fractures.
• Also they knew how to embalmed and mummified bodies. Thanks to this
they knew very well the inside of human body.
9. They were Prisoners of war or Criminals.
The slaves were treated cruelly.
They Worked on public monuments for the Pharaoh or were destined for
domestic service.
They Worked in the house of noble work. Cleaning, washing and raicing
children.
In the houses they were treated better..
10. The peasants were the majority of the people
They were free but they worked the land of the Pharaoh or nobles
They gave a portion of the produccion to pharaoh.
There was a time in which the land were flooded and could not be planting.
In that time moved animals and dedicated to buildings for the pharaoh
11. In poorer families the mothers raised their children, slaves served the nobility.
Peasant girls were married about 12 years or children a little older, the ordinary man
had only one wife.
Was cooked in ovens mud or fire, beer was the most popular drink, the bread was a
staple food.
Most people bathed daily in the river, ordinary people had short hair, wore his young
head with braids children had his head shaved leaving a tuft with a braid on the side.
The poorest wore jewelry that were copper or slab
Men used to wear short skirts and women wore dresses with straps, old wore longer
skirts and the children did not wear clothes.
The homes were made of sun-dried mud called adobe because wood was scarce. In
poor households, people sat around a reed mat Esperanto the mother put
something good to eat, like a fish or a vegetable dish in the center of the table. And
we all took turns to take food by hand and a piece of bread as the ancient Egyptians
did not use silverware.
They boiled their drinking water before consuming Nile to prevent disease.
