POWER TO THE PEOPLE! SOLAR PUMPS WATER FOR HILLSIDE
Are you in? We're building bridges people to people, as well as solar energy tools. This collaborative project launches NOW and will be installed during August 1 - August 16, 2013. If you are in Haiti, join us (hiking boots suggested). If you will NOT be in Haiti, please (please?) send a small (small and numerous will do the job) donation to the link for our Cause, http://www.causes.com/causes/529435-if-pigs-could-fly-haiti
The BOMA Project by David DuChemine
As recurring drought devastates their livestock, pastoral nomads in northern Kenya are learning new ways to make a living through small business training from The BOMA Project. The BOMA Project provides seed money, business skills training, and mentoring to groups of women to start small businesses like food shops and bead making. This helps the women generate income during drought when they have no other means of support, as the men must travel long distances in search of grazing land for the livestock. The small businesses also allow families to afford essential needs like food, medical care, and school supplies for their children.
RefillMyBottle
RefillMyBottle provides a simple solution to the problem of use of single used plastic bottles.
We have created a network of RefillStations that are listed on an online map.
Anyone can use these RefillStations to refill their bottles as an alternative to buying water in single-use plastic bottles.
We are a community of responsible travellers, conscious
locals and mindful business owners who take action against
plastic waste.
Our goal is to reduce the number of single-use plastic
bottles used unnecessarily, starting in Indonesia.
Our mission is to:
- Register local businesses as RefillStations, providing water for free or minimum fee
- Convert travellers behavior from buying plastic bottles to refilling their bottles
- Raise awareness of solutions to the plastic problem
Community Trading
This document describes the challenges faced by urban scavengers in Shanghai who come from rural areas. It outlines their current situation, including reliance on recycling discarded items and random acts of kindness for food and temporary shelter. Common issues include lack of access to consistent food/water, hygiene problems, and untreated medical conditions from injuries sustained while scavenging. The proposal aims to address these challenges through a self-service trading machine that allows scavengers to deposit recycled goods in exchange for food/services, as well as increased collaboration with NGOs/churches to provide additional support.
Hayes Valley Farm, Book Proposal
The document proposes publishing a book about Hayes Valley Farm in San Francisco, which transformed an abandoned freeway off-ramp into an urban zero-waste farm powered by the local community. It provides an outline for the book chapters that would discuss the history and operation of the farm based on permaculture principles, its role in the community, and how similar farms can be created elsewhere. The authors seek to partner with Chronicle Books to publish and distribute the book to inspire more sustainable green initiatives.

The document describes the harsh living conditions in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya. Over 300,000 people live in less than one square mile with no access to basic infrastructure and services. There is no sanitation system, resulting in widespread disease from open defecation and contamination of living areas with human waste. Residents also lack access to clean water, electricity, and other necessities. The lack of infrastructure has created a dangerous environment where people are constantly exposed to pathogens. Disease is rampant, and infant mortality is high due to the squalid conditions.
Small-Scale Hauler Benefits
Let Us Compost has been providing curbside composting services in Athens, Georgia since 2012. They collect food scraps and other compostable materials from residential and commercial customers, and partner with a local composting facility to process the materials. Let Us Compost generates revenue through subscription services, compost sales, and zero-waste event services. The business has grown steadily since starting and has goals to continue expanding its customer base and composting volumes over the next few years.

The document discusses various types and amounts of food, industrial, municipal, medical, and electronic waste produced in the United States each year. It notes that in the US, approximately 96 billion pounds of food is wasted annually, while industrial waste amounts to over 7 billion tons per year. For municipal solid waste, over 250 million tons are generated annually, with food scraps, packaging, and other products making up the majority. The document also outlines various methods for dealing with different forms of waste, such as landfilling, incineration, and recycling, along with their environmental impacts.
Group Action
Nightclubs and restaurants in downtown Indianapolis are throwing away large amounts of recyclable materials like aluminum daily. A community action plan proposes a three-phase approach to increase recycling in these businesses. Phase one involves educating the public on recycling at local malls. Phase two partners with government agencies to make recycling more affordable and accessible. Phase three lobbies traditional waste companies to shift more towards recycling by 2025. The plan suggests making recycling bins noticeable, using symbols to label materials, and offering patrons discounts or rewards to motivate increased recycling.
Funding and Implementing an Emergency Hurricane Water Facility
After hurricanes Frances and Jeanne struck within weeks of
each other in 2004, Rotary clubs in the Bahamas partnered

distributing free, safe drinking water when hurricanes
interrupt the normal supply. Learn how the partnership and
grant funding developed, what lessons were learned, and
how the plant continues to serve residents of the Bahamas in
times of need.

Alcohol-Symposium_A4-web
The document summarizes two symposia held in New Zealand in August 2014 about the effects of alcohol and marijuana on the adolescent brain. Experts from universities in New Zealand and the US presented research showing that substance use during adolescence can have long-lasting negative impacts on brain development. The research found that both alcohol and marijuana use were linked to poorer cognitive performance and mental health issues. Specifically, alcohol use was shown to correlate with differences in brain function before and after drinking began in teens. Females also appeared more vulnerable than males. Marijuana use was associated with increased risks of dropping out of school and mental health problems. Both sessions emphasized that substance use has greater detrimental effects during adolescence compared to adulthood.
Controlling mitosis
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes, such as sperm or egg cells, with half the number of chromosomes as normal body cells. During meiosis, DNA is replicated and the pairs of homologous chromosomes are separated and distributed randomly into four daughter cells. This process ensures genetic material is mixed from both parents when fertilization occurs during sexual reproduction.

Ifpigscouldflyhaitinews2014
In rural Haiti, we work collaboratively and with humility to preserve the dignity of our neighbors. The newsletter describes various dimensions of our learning. Most notably, this past year was the collaborative implementation of solar powered pumps to bring water closer to a mountain community.
The biggest roadblock to the successful realization and deployment of humanitarian technologies is: Not involving at every level the local experts and end-users; not studying and appreciating the locally-available technologies and skills, and not knowing the terrain - the map is not the territory. Our small team was fortunate to have enthusiastic learners, Haitians and visitors, willing to take risks and test out ideas. For our organization, "If Pigs Could Fly -Helping Hillside Haiti," the principal goal is the shared learning. Not to discount the material benefits to the community, it is the learning that will endure.
Long after the PVC has crumbled, the solar panels need repair, and the steel gives way, it will be this shared learning, the experience, the participation in construction, that will endure.
The newsletter summarizes our various efforts to learn and share in Haiti.

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

If pigs could fly haiti newsletter
- 1. Mon Bouton in November 2013 Dear Supporters: Our small nonprofit, founded by Dr. Randy Mont-Reynaud, has been working in the Zoranje zone in south-eastern Haiti for 13 years with our partner community, Mon Bouton. This summer, together with the local community organizer, Toma Abraham, she and engineer Rose Ashford implemented a solar powered system for pumping water designed by Dr.Eric Sabelman. If Pigs Could Fly — Haiti Here’s news for you of the project to which so many have contributed, the solar water pump: In August, with the needed equipment already in place, Rose Ashford, a former NASA engineer, hiked up with Randy and supervised the installation of the solar water pump for two weeks. By the end of their visit, it began to pump water up the mountain! A major goal of IPCF-H is human development, a two-way street between Haitians and American visitors. We are happy to report its development this past summer. Rose found the Haitians incredibly hard-working, and great problemsolvers. Part of your donations supported wages for thirty local workers, bringing much needed cash into the community and more expertise. You may go to: http://www.haitinextdoor.com/ Everyone, even children haul water. It is quite an effort to install the technology in this rugged country! A rockfall hindered completion, so the community itself is pledged to finish the rest with its new knowhow. Toma’s innovative and Haitianborn idea about this will make the best use of existing resources, and Here comes the water from the solar pump! keep the solar panels and pumps in a safer area. In the end, water will be easily accessible to an even wider community, as the final tank will be near the footpath crossroads to mountain markets and the city. As for Rose Ashford, the engineer, she said “I wouldn’t have missed this for anything in the world!” She detailed how much it meant to to her to live with the family, and share the days, nights, workload, music and laughter. She was very impressed with how quickly they understood what to do. The 30 Haitians she worked with now have some working knowledge of installing solar devices. 30 people installing pipe.
- 2. IPCF-H supports small scale peanut butter production (“mamba”)—accomplished with a meat grinder. We bought a new one this year. This effort provides paid work for women as well as the daily snacks for 170 school children. IPCF-H sent funds after Hurricane Sandy washed away fields, homes and the harvest. We collaborated to bring a Haitian NGO, Zafen, to the zone. Zafen accordingly funded plantings of beans and peanuts to help compensate for the lost harvest. To be able to buy locally grown peanuts for our “mamba” project is a real win-win for Zoranje. Rose, guest engineer, setting up the frame for the first of IPCF-H brought Digicel, the Caribbean’s largest cellular two solar panel installations with Toma and Nelis, who will provider, to the zone. Digicel has begun building the maintain the system. first brick and mortar school in the whole region in Mon Note the water tank behind them. Bouton. This also provides much paid work for our residents. The walls are up! The school walls are up! The cement blocks were hauled up by mule. School lunch of “Mamba” (peanut butter) and “biskit,” sometimes their only meal. Also up the mountain are our five treadle sewing machines and a cadre of willing women to make things to sell. One young woman, Kloteed, got herself into a state-run certificate program. She took one machine to Darbonne to be close to the school, and will complete her course of studies next year. The vision and energy of Randy, our founder, and Toma Abraham, our Haitian CEO (Chief Eternal Optimist), have transformed Mon Bouton. Now connected to the outside world with internet, linked to other organizations like Digicel and Zafen, it is less isolated. Children get peanut butter nutrition Randy pitches in! at two schools daily. Soon they will have a seismicallysound school. “Sew What,” a small sewing project can support training and work for both men and women. The water project will free many hands. Without you and your donations to If Pigs Could Fly–Haiti, none of this would have been possible. We hope you will continue your support. Kloteed Please check in here to donate online. http://www.ifpigscouldflyhaiti.org/ and her machine.
