Flamingo presentation
There are 5 species of flamingos ranging in size from 4 to 5 feet tall. Their distinctive pink color comes from carotenoid pigments in their diet of algae, shrimp, and small fish. Flamingo species are found across Africa, southern Europe, Asia, and South America. While some species populations are stable, the Andean flamingo is vulnerable due to habitat loss from mining. Flamingos filter feed with specialized bills and breed colonially, reaching sexual maturity at around 6 years old.
Flamingos
Flamingos are birds that range from 3-3.4 feet in length and weigh between 4-7 pounds. They are typically pink, white, or blue/green in color due to their diet. Flamingos live in groups called colonies and are found in parts of South America, the Andes, Chile, and India. They eat brine shrimp, algae, plants, and crustaceans. Flamingos are warm-blooded, lay one egg per pregnancy that hatches after 30 days, and fly at night over long distances to migrate to warmer climates in winter.

Drew mainprize harp seal powerpoint
Harp seals live in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. They have dark saddle markings on their backs and light yellow or grey bodies. They feed on fish and crustaceans. Harp seal pups are born with white coats that later turn grey as adults. Humans threaten harp seals through commercial hunting of the pups for their white fur coats, with hundreds of thousands killed each year by the Canadian government's permission. Conservation efforts should focus on banning seal hunting and fur trading to help protect the species.
Amphibians
Amphibians are a class of animals like reptiles, mammals, and birds. They live the first part of their lives in the water and the last part on the land. When they hatch from their eggs, amphibians have gills so they can breathe in the water. They also have fins to help them swim, just like fish. Later, their bodies change, growing legs and lungs enabling them to live on the land. The word "amphibian" means two-lives, one in the water and one on land.

Tree frogs
Red eyed tree frogs are amphibians that live in jungles and forests. They have bright red eyes, green bodies with blue and yellow stripes, and orange or red toes that help them blend into their environments. They are nocturnal, staying still during the day and becoming active at night. Red eyed tree frogs live in trees and lay eggs near water, and their lifecycle involves an aquatic tadpole stage before developing into young frogs and then adults.
Fruit Bats By Shelby
Fruit bats mate in the fall and usually have one or two babies. They eat fruit and nectar and are good pollinators. Fruit bats are born hairless and grow fur and learn to fly within a week, maturing within a year. Fruit bats live in various habitats across Africa, Asia, Australia, and parts of the Middle East, inhabiting tropical forests and coastal areas. The largest fruit bat, the flying fox, has a wingspan of 50 inches and males weigh 3-4 pounds while females weigh around 2 pounds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
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.

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 Proofs
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).
