Fair Trade USA's New Impact Measurement and Management Framework
This session introduces Fair Trade USA's new Impact Measurement and Management Framework, which has been developed to define, measure and communicate – in a systematic and unified way – the impacts Fair Trade enables for farmers, workers, businesses and consumers. The Framework generates new insight into the complex relationships between value creation (risk management, reliable production, profitable growth), sustainable livelihoods (human well-being, income empowerment, environment sustainability) and consumer activation (product choice, preference for Fair Trade). It is built on a holistic theory of change and relies heavily on analyzing multiple streams of data from the field, as well as academic research and a storytelling component.

100% Campaign Overview
The 100% Campaign is a partnership between the Children's Defense Fund and Texas school districts that aims to identify and enroll uninsured children in affordable health coverage programs like CHIP and Medicaid. Over 1.5 million children in Texas are uninsured, with around 750,000 eligible but not enrolled in existing programs. The Campaign works with schools to add a question about insurance to enrollment forms and then connects eligible uninsured students to coverage options, with some districts reducing their uninsured rates among students by over 15%.
LFZH Final Presentation
This document proposes a "Label for Zero Hunger" program to help address food insecurity and plastic waste by collecting plastic packaging from schools and retailers. The program would work with the Sustainable Packaging Coalition on label design and placement. Collection sites would weigh plastic bags and film to earn donations for charities like food banks. Potential partners include schools, brands, and packaging recyclers. Research shows consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable products and increased sales for brands promoting sustainability actions. The proposal recommends starting small with interested partners and stressing benefits to brand owners.

Maine's Horticulture Industry
Maine has a large horticulture industry that generates more revenue than other well-known agricultural industries like blueberries and apples. The industry includes greenhouse and nursery products, landscape installation and maintenance, arborists, Christmas tree farms, and golf courses. From 2009 to 2014, horticulture sales in Maine increased 43.6% to $70.5 million and the number of operations grew by 28%. This growth is partly due to legislation defining horticulture as agriculture and a marketing campaign promoting planting in Maine. The horticulture industry employs integrated pest management and organic practices to deal with pests while minimizing pesticide use and impact.

Crop insurance enrollment is prevalent among farmers surveyed in Indiana, Iowa, and Illinois. Through mixed qualitative and quantitative methods, the researcher found that crop insurance does not directly limit conservation practice adoption. Farmers view crop insurance and conservation practices as providing unique and complementary benefits to manage financial and production risks. Some farmers are interested in incentive programs that reimburse conservation practices. Crop insurance subscribers have positive attitudes toward the program and expect subsidy as a norm. Without subsidy, farmers would prioritize reducing coverage levels or adopting drainage or cover crops. Overall, crop insurance was not found to inhibit conservation behaviors.

Developing competencies Nanjing 2010
This document discusses developing competencies for occupational therapy education and practice. It defines competencies as the abilities to successfully carry out skills and perform profession-specific tasks. Competencies are important as they provide common descriptions for practitioners and educational programs, help maintain professional standards, and support transparency.

2012 ASFS/AFHVS/SAFN Conference Global Gateways and Local Connections: Cities, Agriculture, and the Future of Food Systems
Carolyn Zezima, Director of Food and Nutrition Initiatives, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Despite increasing recognition that fresh, healthy, local foods are scarce in low-income communities, and the creation of a number of healthy food initiatives targeting these communities, historically underserved communities still lack novel, profitable, and sustainable businesses that supply healthy, affordable and taste-satisfying foods. Bringing together the business and public health sectors, Communities IMPACT Diabetes Center at Mount Sinai School of Medicine invited business students to submit concepts and plans for viable, market and community-driven business solutions to one of our most pressing public health needs: healthy, affordable food in underserved communities. The proposed enterprises must have served communities with limited availability to healthy foods, be tailored to the particular assets and challenges in the communities, and must be developed in consultation with target communities. Proposals were judged by a panel of experts in business, food and local government. Teams competed for $25,000 in start-up funds and other business support services.

Webinar: Tools for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Benefits of Trees
The new round of CAL FIRE urban forestry grants requires applicants to estimate the greenhouse gas effects of the proposed projects. At this time, the policy in this field has outpaced the development of tools to do exactly the kinds of calculations that are needed. In the meantime, a few tools do exist that can be tweaked to get the results we need.
This webinar offered a tutorial to help you get started with the most important part--calculating the benefits of newly planted trees. We focused on using the Tree Carbon Calculator to estimate carbon sequestration, energy conservation and carbon benefits due to conserved energy.
September 9, 2014 California ReLeaf Webinar
This document discusses recent developments regarding funding for urban forestry projects from California cap-and-trade auction revenues, including how such funds can benefit disadvantaged communities as required by law. It summarizes proposals from CAL FIRE, CAL-EPA and CARB regarding identifying disadvantaged communities and ensuring a majority of urban forestry funds are used for projects in or benefiting these communities. The document encourages supporting these agencies' efforts to maximize funding opportunities while remaining faithful to applicable laws.
Branching Out for State Success
California ReLeaf advocates for building partnerships across sectors to strengthen advocacy efforts. Partnering allows causes to present a united voice that gains more attention than any single issue. Successful partnerships start locally and leverage existing relationships to form new alliances, including with non-traditional partners. Nurturing relationships over the long term creates stepping stones to broader statewide collaborations that advance tree planting and reduce greenhouse gases.
Casey Trees Tree Advocates Program
Casey Trees is a nonprofit organization in Washington D.C. that works to protect and expand the city's urban tree canopy. They have launched a citizen advocacy program to empower volunteers to advocate for tree issues with local policymakers. The program provides training, resources, and support to help volunteers effectively engage in the policy process. This includes hosting classes, maintaining an online advocacy platform, and organizing events like lobby days. Their goal is to build a network of grassroots advocates that can apply political pressure and show decision-makers the public support for urban forestry issues.

Some of their efforts include an Arbor Day celebration, a heritage tree program, working with schools, and participating in events like Earth Day and at the farmers market. The overall work helps provide community pride as well as maintain San Luis Obispo's Tree City USA designation for over 28 years.
Matt Ritter
The document discusses promoting biodiversity and resilience in urban forests. It recommends three actions: 1) Work for more species diversity in California's urban forests by planting underused native tree species. 2) Learn the trees in your local urban forest and teach others their names and histories to increase environmental awareness. 3) Promote the value of trees by educating others about how trees sequester carbon, reduce energy consumption, cool cities, support wildlife, lower crime rates, and promote human happiness.
Kim Klein
The document provides an overview of fundraising strategies and best practices. It discusses that while challenges remain, charitable giving has increased in recent years. The majority of donations come from individuals, especially those with incomes under $90,000. Building relationships and retaining current donors through frequent communication and engagement is emphasized. Personal asks remain the most effective strategy, though online engagement and acquisition is growing in importance.
Paula Peper
The document summarizes several tools from the i-Tree software suite for analyzing urban forests. It discusses the i-Tree Eco, Streets, Canopy, Vue, Design, and Species tools, providing information on their functions and capabilities. It also describes a new online Tree Carbon Calculator and notes upcoming improvements including tree population projections and expanded output metrics.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
