Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is located in Peru surrounded by the Amazon jungle. It features stunning Andean scenery with snowy peaks, rivers, and valleys. The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is a 32km hike with stone steps, tunnels and bridges passing through varying climates from desert to cloud forest with diverse plants and animals. Tourists can also raft down the Urubamba River or take thermal baths in nearby Aguas Calientes. The ancient city was built as a privileged site for the Incas to worship nature but was abandoned and lost until its rediscovery in 1911. Tourism now both benefits and harms the local environment and economy as well as affecting local social and cultural traditions.
Sculpture
Some of the earliest known sculptures in the Philippines include a low relief engraving from 3000 BCE in Angono, Rizal featuring human and animal figures.

Known as Paleo-Indians, they populated North and South America, using stone tools to hunt large game. As the climate warmed, they adapted to hunting smaller prey and gathering food. Around 5,000 years ago in Mexico, some groups began cultivating corn and other crops, leading to more settled agricultural societies across the Americas. Distinct cultures developed in different regions, such as the Anasazi in the Southwest, Mississippian culture along major rivers, and Woodland cultures along the East Coast, characterized by mound and village building.

Tundra
Tundra is the vast, flat, treeless region in the Arctic where the land remains frozen year-round. It spans from Greenland to parts of Alaska, northern Canada, and northern Russia between latitudes 75° N and 60° N. Tundra has very low annual rainfall and average temperatures that remain below freezing for most of the year. Typical tundra plants include flowers, lichens, and cushion plants that form tight mounds to protect themselves from the cold. Common tundra animals are polar bears, arctic foxes, musk oxen, lemmings, and birds like snowy owls and arctic swans. Caribou herds migrate between tundra and southern
Anorexia symptoms
Anorexia symptoms include dieting despite being thin, obsession with calories and nutrition, pretending or lying about eating, and preoccupation with food. Physical symptoms involve dramatic weight loss, feeling fat despite being underweight, fixation on body image, harsh criticism of appearance, and denial of being too thin.
Veterinarians
Veterinarians diagnose and treat diseases and health issues affecting animals. They work indoors and outdoors examining animals, performing surgeries and medical procedures, and providing care. The work can be physically demanding as vets spend a lot of time on their feet and may be bitten, kicked or scratched by animals. To become a vet requires obtaining a DVM degree which takes 4 years of study at an accredited veterinary college, following undergraduate education. Employment opportunities are expected to grow rapidly as pet ownership rises and interest in veterinary specialties increases. The minimum salary for a vet is around $47,000 annually but private practice can lead to higher earnings.

The Solar System
The solar system formed over 5 billion years ago from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust called a solar nebula. As the nebula rotated and flattened, larger objects called planetesimals formed and collided, eventually creating the planets. At the center, the sun formed. The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are small, rocky bodies close to the sun. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are much larger and mostly made of gas. Technology like satellites and space telescopes continue to provide more information about the solar system to further our understanding of the universe.
Galaxies
There are billions of galaxies in the universe that come in many shapes and sizes. Galaxies are grouped into three main categories: spiral, elliptical, and irregular. Spiral galaxies are flat disks with spiral arms, elliptical galaxies are round or oval masses of stars with little gas or dust, and irregular galaxies have stars, gas, and dust spread out randomly. The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 and has helped scientists further classify galaxies and study them in more detail.

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.

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.
