The document discusses the impacts of flooding in Thailand from the perspective of someone who took time off from school. They went to Ranong in Thailand, Kawthaung in Myanmar, and Andaman Club. The flooding caused sadness for those who lost family members but also stress from increased work. It has not directly impacted the person's daily life. The flooding tore communities apart and more aid is needed, as well as stronger dams. Casualties included drowning and electrocution. Temporary shelters, electrical appliance repairs, and first aid kits will be needed after the flooding stops. People can help by volunteering or donating.

Hydropower vs Flood Control in Dam and Basin Management Levels
Workshop on “Flood management in a transboundary context”, 13-14.12.2011, Zagreb, CroatiaFlood control by plants
This document discusses how trees and forests can help reduce flooding. It provides several ways that vegetation can control floods:
1. Trees intercept rainfall with their canopies, reducing the amount of water reaching the ground by up to 45%. Their roots also absorb water and reinforce riverbanks.
2. Forest soils are better able to absorb and store rainwater due to their open structure and root networks, slowing runoff.
3. Trees and debris in streams increase hydraulic roughness, slowing flood velocities and allowing floodwaters to spread out across floodplains.
4. Maintaining vegetated buffers along waterways provides multiple flood-control benefits like reducing erosion, filtering sediment, and stabilizing banks. The

Thailand floods maia
Over 75% of Thailand was submerged underwater due to heavy rains that caused flooding. More than 315 people had died, thousands were homeless, and about 90,000 flood victims suffered from stress or required therapy. People had to move around using boats, elephants, or makeshift floats like tires or styrofoam since the flood waters were up to adults' chins or hips. Leptospirosis, a disease caused by bacteria in contaminated flood waters, was also a concern.
Swimming speech
The document is a speech advocating for swimming lessons to be included in the Malaysian education system. It tells a story of a boy who almost drowned and argues this could be prevented with swimming education. Statistics are presented showing high drowning rates in Asia, including Malaysia. The speaker urges that swimming provides health benefits and should not be seen as merely a leisure activity. Government-funded school swimming lessons are proposed as a way to give all Malaysian children the opportunity to learn this life-saving skill, since private lessons are too expensive for many families. The speech aims to convince the audience of the need to change the education system to reduce drowning and promote health through swimming education.

Water Pollution Ted Talk
A Young Scientist’s Quest for Clean Water.
Were you moved to action by the presentation? Why or why not?
This Ted Talk video really caught my attention because I was truly moved how the young presenter’s enthusiasm and care for humanity has taken her down a path of trying to solve the water pollution problem in the world. Deepika Kurup is an inventor, scientist, and has been passionate about solving the global water crisis ever since she was in middle school, as she was exposed to the water problem at a very early age while visiting family in India.
At 00:04 of the video, Deepika described how every summer, her family would travel across the world, 3,000 miles away to the culturally diverse country of India. Now, India is a country infamous for its scorching heat and humidity. Her parents would constantly remind her to only drink boiled or bottled water, because in India, the water is often contaminated. She saw children, who looked the same age as me, filling up these clear plastic bottles with dirty water from streams on the roadside. Watching these kids forced to drink water that I felt was too dirty to touch changed her perspective on the world. So, after returning home one summer in eighth grade, she decided that to combine the passion for solving the global water crisis with my interest in science. Deepika launched a lab in family garage to solve water pollution.
How did it compare to the information you already learned? Did you learn anything new? If so, what?
03:12 of the video, mentions a water purifying process called solar disinfection, or SODIS, which is used to purify water. In SODIS, I learned something new that I really cannot compare to anything I’ve seen before. The process consists of a simple clear plastic bottle which is filled with contaminated water and then exposed to sunlight for six to eight hours. The UV radiation from the sun destroys the DNA of these harmful pathogens and decontaminates the water.
What would the presenter have had to do or say or share (data) to make you change your mind and do something about the problem?
The Presenter didn’t really state any statistics or facts, but I felt like she was genuine in her in her beliefs toward solving a polluted water crisis and in the clo.

Water Pollution Ted Talk
A Young Scientist’s Quest for Clean Water.
Were you moved to action by the presentation? Why or why not?
This Ted Talk video really caught my attention because I was truly moved how the young presenter’s enthusiasm and care for humanity has taken her down a path of trying to solve the water pollution problem in the world. Deepika Kurup is an inventor, scientist, and has been passionate about solving the global water crisis ever since she was in middle school, as she was exposed to the water problem at a very early age while visiting family in India.
At 00:04 of the video, Deepika described how every summer, her family would travel across the world, 3,000 miles away to the culturally diverse country of India. Now, India is a country infamous for its scorching heat and humidity. Her parents would constantly remind her to only drink boiled or bottled water, because in India, the water is often contaminated. She saw children, who looked the same age as me, filling up these clear plastic bottles with dirty water from streams on the roadside. Watching these kids forced to drink water that I felt was too dirty to touch changed her perspective on the world. So, after returning home one summer in eighth grade, she decided that to combine the passion for solving the global water crisis with my interest in science. Deepika launched a lab in family garage to solve water pollution.
How did it compare to the information you already learned? Did you learn anything new? If so, what?
03:12 of the video, mentions a water purifying process called solar disinfection, or SODIS, which is used to purify water. In SODIS, I learned something new that I really cannot compare to anything I’ve seen before. The process consists of a simple clear plastic bottle which is filled with contaminated water and then exposed to sunlight for six to eight hours. The UV radiation from the sun destroys the DNA of these harmful pathogens and decontaminates the water.
What would the presenter have had to do or say or share (data) to make you change your mind and do something about the problem?
The Presenter didn’t really state any statistics or facts, but I felt like she was genuine in her in her beliefs toward solving a polluted water crisis and in the clo.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
