This document summarizes the results of a simulation study that compared the ability of lifeguards and "patrol support" personnel to detect simulated drowning victims. The study found that while both groups' detection times improved after additional training, patrol support personnel were initially slower to detect drowning behaviors than traditionally trained lifeguards. Factors like age, sleep deprivation, and humidity/temperature were also found to impact detection times. Based on these results, the researchers question whether non-swimmers could effectively be used for surveillance duties to support lifeguards, and they plan to conduct further workplace studies on this topic.
1. The document discusses risks for individuals with seizure disorders in bathing, swimming, lifesaving, and lifeguarding. It reviews evidence on risks of drowning and water accidents for those with seizure disorders.
2. Individuals with uncontrolled or potentially unstable epilepsy should avoid water activities until stability is established due to greater risk of submersion or drowning, especially for those with frequent or unpredictable convulsive seizures.
3. For lifesaving training and lifeguarding, individuals with confident seizure control and a seizure-free period of at least 6 months can participate with precautions, while deep water activities require over a year of no seizures.
This document discusses the importance of vision standards for lifeguards and recommends they wear sunglasses with UV protection. It notes that UV exposure can damage the eyes and increase risks of conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration over time. The document also analyzes issues with current vision testing standards among lifeguard agencies, noting inconsistencies and lack of standards in some cases. It recommends developing a comprehensive vision policy requiring regular testing of visual acuity, peripheral vision and other factors to ensure lifeguards can properly perform their duties.
The study aimed to determine the appropriate visual acuity standards for beach lifeguards. It found that while calculations suggested lifeguards need 6/17 vision to see a head at 300m, tests with lifeguards found they needed 6/7 vision on average. The study recommends lifeguards have corrected vision of 6/9 and uncorrected vision no worse than 6/18 in either eye to safely spot people in trouble from 200-300m away.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
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.
