Several treaties were signed in the 1920s to promote peace and stability in Europe after World War 1. The Locarno Pact of 1925 established security in Western Europe by guaranteeing borders and demilitarizing the Rhineland. The Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 had 15 nations renounce war as a means of resolving disputes. While countries agreed on disarmament in principle, mistrust prevented meaningful reductions as nations still saw war as a tool of diplomacy. Conferences in Washington, London, and Geneva made some naval and arms limitations but ultimately failed to achieve general disarmament due to rising tensions.
- DoctorMe is a mobile app with over 250,000 installed users and 30,000 active monthly users that allows citizens to empower their health.
- It could potentially save Thailand's national health insurance scheme $360,000 annually if each of the 30,000 active users saves $1 per month on average. Using the national average healthcare expense of $8.50 per person, DoctorMe could potentially save $3 million annually.
- Challenges include ensuring long term sustainability through content sales, increasing scalability by gaining more users, and expanding services to reach underprivileged users through appropriate technologies.

The document advocates for a simplified web experience through streamlined design that focuses on accessibility for both humans and machines.
The document discusses SMS usability and text input on mobile phones. It describes how the standard E.161 phone keypad mapping leads to ambiguous text entry that relies on T9 word guessing to overcome issues like misspelling. For languages like Thai with a large character set, T9 is not always helpful for disambiguation. The document questions whether the QWERTY keyboard common on phones is better suited than the E.161 mapping for text entry in different languages.
