The document summarizes the results of surveys and focus groups conducted with American consumers about their attitudes toward energy efficiency and conservation. It finds that while consumers say they care about energy efficiency, their actions do not always reflect this. Consumers view terms like "energy efficiency" and "green" as code for more expensive. The document also notes that consumers are often misinformed about the causes of climate change and energy use. It concludes that messages about energy efficiency must focus on deeper benefits like comfort and promise savings, while also providing education to consumers without overwhelming them.

Role of women in Renewable Energy Sector
Renewable energy sectors can be classified according to the principal economic activity and the use of technology – heating and electricity. It is also possible to make a distinction between renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydro. Progress has been made in recent decades to raise the level of gender equality but women are still much less likely to have access or control over productive and natural
resources and have less access to modern technologies or financial services and receive poorer education, training, and technical advice.

Natural Science Issues
Introduction
Natural science involves the study of the physical world, such as biology, chemistry, and physics. It deals with how matter interacts and helps individuals to understand the role of biodiversity, environment, and evolution. However, several issues occur within natural science, which requires attention from scientists. One of such issues is electric cars. The electric vehicles have several challenges, such as limited driving range, a charging system that is spotty, battery issues, and high costs. The number of people who are buying these cars is rising at a high rate. In the past year, the number of sales for electric vehicles has increased above 75% (Helmers & Weiss, 2017). However, due to these issues, there have been a lot of doubts among the customers. Human rights have been abused during the production of electric cars. There is an abuse of child labor in mineral extraction, such as cobalt, which is used in the production of car batteries. The discussion of the electric car issues is essential as it will reduce the dangers posed by these vehicles to passengers, drivers, and even the manufacturers. The science sources that will be used in this paper include technical reports on electric vehicles, previous studies, and existing criticism and interpretation. This paper will try to find the reasons why electric cars have a spotty charging system and a limited driving range.
Electric Cars
In recent years, scientists have identified different challenges that are affecting electric cars. The vehicles have issues with their batteries, spotty charging system, and a limited driving range. The total production costs of an electric vehicle are very high as compared to other cars that run both on gasoline and battery. Individuals who would be interested in the results of this study include passengers and drivers who need to be concerned with their safety while on the road. The government plays a significant role in addressing this issue (Helmers & Weiss, 2017). For example, the government of China has implemented policies that guide the use of electric cars in the country. China is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world, and therefore, many industries, including automotive industries, are expanding their operations into the country. This has prompted the government to design policies revolving around the use of technology and how to protect the environment and its people. According to Helmers and Weiss, There are rapid technological developments in the electric car battery and charging. These developments are causing significant uncertainties among car users. It is a problem for car owners ...

IntroductionTechnology has rapidly grown over the years and has be.docx
Introduction
Technology has rapidly grown over the years and has become a very important part of society. As technology continues to grow the average life span of electronic equipment continues to decrease. Many consumers are not aware of the importance of recycling their outdated equipment. Expectedly, the number of electronic equipment will continue to increase at global level where microprocessors will be utilized in the number of routine objects (Hilty, 2010).
1. In 2003, almost 75 million communication devices were sold in the USA electronic market. This number grew by 90% in 2008(US Consumer Electronics Sales & Forecast 2003-2008, 2008)
2. In 2009, the total units of electronic devices were more than 3.9 billion in the European Union (United Nations Environment Programme, 2009).
3. In 2001, almost 20 million refrigerator and 50 million televisions were sold in China and nearly 50 million Personal Computers were bought in 2009. In China the growth rate is increasing with every passing year(Wong, Li, & Xong, 2009)
The lack of recycling electronics affects everyone. Keeping electronics out of landfills and properly disposing end of use devices keeps down on harmful materials that exist in some electronics. Unlike their efforts for other solid waste management and recycling programs, most local governments do not provide curbside collection for recycling of used electronics because it is too expensive (Stephenson, 2005). Since many other countries currently have e-waste management programs we will be able to look at countries such as China and Europe to gather information on how their programs currently work. Some countries along with various states in the US such as Maryland and California have already implemented e-waste programs. It is important to understand how the current local government controls its normal waste management programs and what could be done to establish a feasible e-waste management program to the current system. Therefore it is important to assess the roles that the government can play in encouraging recycling and reuse of e-waste.
Abedrabbo(2009) states that the volume of electronic equipment at the end-of-life is consistently rising; however, post-consumer and end-of-life management are in its early stages, without clear solutions that view the complexity of the system. Therefore the second question of the study is to assess the ways of controlling the increasing volume of e-waste. Due to the perceived value of used electronics, some pass their used equipment to family members or friends before eventually storing these units in their attics, basements, or garages (Stephenson, 2005). Whereas some recycle their old products such as very few people make the CPU as their book rack. The study is proposed to find out the factors which are perceived to be associated with improved recycling of electronic devices by consumers. E-waste contains toxic heavy metals, such as lead in batteries and solder which ma.

BUILDING HOPE
Positive Psychology, a new branch of psychology focused on the empirical study of such things as positive emotions, strengths-based character, and healthy institutions. This emerging field offers guidance on how to feel more satisfied and engaged with life, regardless of one’s circumstances. Nineteen different scientifically-validated questionnaires on everything from love, compassion, grit and gratitude are building a robust body of data about what makes people happy and resilient.
What is hope? Hope is:
• a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life
• A feeling that what you want is achievable and that events will turn out for the best.
Happiness, on the other hand, is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. Hope is about the future and happiness is about the present. You could say that people aspire to want hope and have happiness. To put it another way, hope is a means to having happiness.

Does the perspective
appeal to you? Why or
why not?
What objective
evidence is used to
support the
perspective?
Electric vehicles People concerned
about climate
change/global warming,
pollution, and natural
resource exploitation
(oil and gas). These
people are usually of a
younger demographic
(under 40 years of age).
Organizations such as
the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
promote the use of
electric cars in order to
reduce emissions,
pollution, and the
extraction and use of
natural resources for
nonelectric vehicles.
The makers of electric
vehicles would also
likely promote the use
and sale of these
vehicles.
Biases of this
perspective would
include the assumption
that gas-powered
vehicles are the sole
cause of environmental
pollution and that
electric vehicles would
easily solve or reverse
global warming/climate
change.
Electric vehicles are
most appealing to me
because I would
personally enjoy using
renewable power rather
than relying on a non-
renewable resource
such as gas or oil.
Empirical evidence from
the U.N.’s
Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC)
concluded human-
induced climate change
is happening and the
effects are already
evident.
Maintaining gas-fueled
cars as primary means
of transportation
Car enthusiasts would
likely support
maintaining gas-fueled
cars because very few
high-performance cars
are electric; most are
fueled by gas.
Automotive lobbyists,
car manufacturers, and
oil producers would
promote maintaining
gas-fueled cars.
Automotive lobbyists,
car manufacturers, and
oil producers profit a
great deal from the
creation and sale of gas-
fueled cars as well as
the gas that is sold to
fuel them.
I have owned a gas-
fueled car my whole life

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

- 4. Misinformation, Blame & Tightening Belts: Dealing with the American Consumer Mindset on Energy Efficiency and Conservation Alliance to Save Energy • November 13, 2008
- 7. Reality Check What Works What It Looks Like
- 8. Consumers say one thing and do another
- 14. They think “energy efficiency” and “green” are code words for “more expensive” (and cost is on their mind)
- 19. They’re not just motivated by savings
- 28. Words that work
- 33. They know less than you think they do
- 46. Reality: America’s electricity consumption increased 10% from 2002-2007
- 48. Reality:
- 49. They have lots of excuses…
- 52. There’s not a lot of consensus
- 55. Conclusions
- 57. Questions?
