Distracted driving
Cell phone use, whether talking or texting, is the number one cause of distracted driving according to experts. Even hands-free devices can take attention away from the road and increase crash risk. Drowsiness increases crash risk nearly 4 times, with 37% of drivers reporting having fallen asleep. Having passengers in the car, especially for young drivers, is distracting as passengers can ask drivers to do things. Eating while driving uses both hands, slowing reaction times and increasing crash risk. Multi-tasking like changing music or doing makeup takes eyes off the road for too long, increasing crash risk.

Task Force On Sustainable Lifestyles Presentation
Lifestyles are part of our identity; people express their social position, political preferences and psychological aspirations to others through them. Lifestyles define and differentiate us. They are the way we live our lives.
Lifestyles are shaped by a whole host of factors. Their roots are in culture, politics, economics and social norms. For sustainable lifestyles to enter our cultures and societies, to become part of our everyday life, they must be developed at all levels. They need to be enabled and encouraged by the social and technical systems and institutions that surround us. People will only swap their car for public transport if there’s an efficient and cost-effective public transport system.

wheelchair (2) (1).pptx
"Wheelchair of Hope" is an initiative that aims to provide mobility and independence to children with disabilities in need, particularly in developing countries. The initiative is focused on creating and distributing specially designed pediatric wheelchairs to children who would otherwise lack access to mobility aids due to factors such as poverty, conflict, or limited healthcare resources.
The project not only provides physical mobility but also contributes to the overall well-being and social inclusion of children with disabilities. These wheelchairs are designed to fit the specific needs of children, considering their size, comfort, and mobility requirements.
The "Wheelchair of Hope" initiative often collaborates with local partners, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and communities to identify children who would benefit from these wheelchairs. The goal is to ensure that each child receives a wheelchair that is suitable for their needs and helps improve their quality of life.
The initiative also emphasizes the importance of education and awareness about disabilities, aiming to break down societal stigmas and misconceptions. By bringing attention to the needs of children with disabilities and advocating for their inclusion, "Wheelchair of Hope" contributes to creating more inclusive and compassionate communities.
Please note that specific details and updates about the initiative may have occurred after my last knowledge update in September 2021. If you're looking for the latest information or articles related to "Wheelchair of Hope," I recommend using online search engines or visiting their official website.

7 Moynihan Drug promotion
While many drugs can reduce suffering and extend lives, drug promotion can also be harmful. The pharmaceutical industry uses various promotional strategies to maximize drug usage, but this can lead to inappropriate prescribing, overmedicalization of normal human conditions, and risks to patient safety. There are also conflicts of interest when drug companies fund disease awareness campaigns and medical research. More independent voices are needed to provide objective information about medicines and diseases.

More than 190 countries have ratified CROC, making it the most widely supported UN human rights instrument. The Centre seeks to provide legal advice and information to children through its website LawStuff.org.au and email service LawMail, which receive millions of hits and thousands of responses each year on common issues like parental separation, leaving home, and unfair treatment in school.
Food Fringe Hughes Industry Regulation
- Childhood obesity rates in Australia are high, around 20-25% of children are overweight or obese, and energy consumption has increased.
- Most food advertisements during programs watched by children are for unhealthy foods high in energy but low in nutrients. Various marketing techniques target children online and through packaging as well.
- The current co-regulation system in Australia involves government bodies setting standards and codes that the food industry is meant to comply with voluntarily. However, these codes do not adequately restrict all forms of marketing to children.
EDC Premila Kumar
The document discusses consumer safety issues related to household insecticides in Fiji. It notes that a 2007 survey found household pesticides were readily available but imported from countries like Australia, India, and China. The document calls on companies to take responsibility for the impacts of their activities by behaving ethically in countries with poor regulations, not pushing banned pesticides, and providing consumers with proper instructions and information to make informed choices about health and safety.
EDC Eunsook Moon (1029)
The document summarizes the results of a survey on consumer attitudes and practices regarding household insecticides in 12 Asian countries. It found that consumers primarily purchase insecticides based on convenience and do not always safely store or dispose of unused products. Additionally, the market survey found that some insecticide products contain endocrine disrupting chemicals but do not clearly label ingredients or adequately instruct users on safe usage and storage. The report recommends prohibiting endocrine disrupting chemicals in insecticides and establishing standardized labeling requirements with clear safety warnings.
EDC Connie Lau
The document discusses ensuring safety of household insecticides from a corporate social responsibility perspective. It outlines various roles and responsibilities of traders including proper registration, packaging, labeling, transport, storage, usage instructions, disposal guidelines, and post-sale services. It also discusses the need for collaboration between governments, consumer bodies, and individual consumers to improve safety through public awareness campaigns, monitoring, and exploring non-chemical pest control methods.
3 Miller Sustainable Consumption
1) The document discusses responsible consumption as both a niche trend and an increasing trend among consumers globally.
2) Data from surveys of 25,000 consumers in 25 countries shows that more consumers are paying attention to corporate responsibility and "voting with their dollars" based on company behavior.
3) The trend of consumers punishing irresponsible companies and rewarding responsible ones is growing and expected to continue, creating an important role for organizations like Consumers International that can hold companies accountable.
ACCC Sylvan
This document discusses competition and consumer policy from the perspective of consumer interests. It argues that consumers drive competition through exercising informed choice, which leads to a more vigorous, competitive economy. However, it notes that market failures, information asymmetries, and behavioral biases can sometimes negatively impact consumer decision-making and outcomes. The document then explores some of the insights from behavioral economics, such as how heuristics and framing can influence decisions in ways that may not be in consumers' best interests. It advocates using behavioral tools and well-designed defaults to empower consumers and improve market outcomes.
EDC Michael Hansen
Human exposure to household pesticides can have safety concerns due to potential endocrine disrupting effects. Many pesticides are endocrine disrupters that can mimic or block hormones and disrupt development. Studies show effects from household pesticides like permethrin and chlorpyrifos on neurodevelopment and cancer risk. Organic diets have been shown to significantly lower children's exposure to organophosphate pesticides compared to conventional diets.
Lazzarini Presidents Panel
The document discusses several challenges facing consumers in the current globalized world. It notes that governments have lost power and are dominated by economic interests over societal concerns. Corporations have also changed radically, with increased concentration and less competition. Mass advertising is affecting lifestyles and values. Most food advertisements targeted at children promote junk food. Many millions of children are exploited as cheap labor. Consumer movements face barriers in fighting for consumer rights and becoming more effective and influential globally. Efforts are being made to introduce new issues, campaign globally, and empower consumer organizations, but more still needs to be done.
10b Tanguay Credit and Debt
1) The document discusses practices and ethics of budget counseling in Canada by a federation of 11 consumer groups and 10 cooperative associations for family economics.
2) It outlines Canada's situation regarding household debt, including high debt-to-income ratios, low savings rates, and rising insolvency issues.
3) Different services for those in debt are described, including credit counseling, trustees, and non-profit organizations like ACEF that take a social work approach emphasizing co-responsibility between consumers and creditors.
2c Pedersen Sustainable Consumption
The document discusses Consumers International's (CI) work on sustainable consumption over time, including their involvement in developing UN guidelines on sustainable consumption and consumer protection. It outlines CI's future work, which will focus on holding corporations and governments accountable for unsustainable practices by researching misleading claims and impacts, and communicating these findings to empower consumers and build member capacity. Key areas of focus include food/agriculture, climate change, and corporate policies' connections to human rights and environmental issues.

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.

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.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
