Renowned environmental scientist, Professor Emma Johnston AO, the co-chief author of the 2021 Australian State of Environment Report and the University's Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) is joined by her co-authors to discuss key findings of the report and what is in store for our environment and wellbeing. The extreme weather events from the past few years have shown that our future depends on healthy rivers, forests, soils and seas, which is why it is crucial to understand exactly what is at stake. The State of the Environment (SOE) report, a five-yearly independent review, commissioned by the Australian Government, is a critical piece in the puzzle. Its independent analysis from a team of scientific experts, offers a clear framework on how to address the myriad environmental issues we face and the projected future of our environment. Professor Johnston is one of Australia's most distinguished environmental scientists, an elected fellow of both the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) and the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE). She also co-hosts the television series, Coast Australia, exploring the country's coastline. Also joining the conversation will be SOE co-authors Dr Terri Janke, a Wuthathi/Meriam woman and an international authority on Indigenous cultural and intellectual property; the chair of the Western Australian Biodiversity Science Institute, leading environmental scientist, Dr Ian Cresswell; and Dr Sarah Hill, CEO of the Western Parkland City Authority. Moderated by Sydney Ideas Head of Programming, Fenella Kernebone. The 2021 SOE report is the first to include Indigenous co-authors and is the first to have a chapter explicitly  focused on Extreme Events (bushfires, floods, heatwaves, droughts, storms). This Sydney Ideas event was held on Thursday 21 July, 2022 at the Charles Perkins Centre Auditorium, University of Sydney. To view the event page please go to this link: https://bit.ly/3PVt3C6

In this Podcast, Culden Kamea unravels the answer to the question, “Why do Fijians play rugby like no one else in the world?” No other team in the world plays rugby quite like Fijians. Although there is an obvious overlap between how Fijians play rugby 7s and XVs, I am only focusing on the full XVs version of the game here. Take the Fijiana Drua for example, in this their first year of international exposure playing against Australian State teams in the Super W competition they have simply been too hot to handle – too fast, too tough, too fit – too hot alright! Whenever one of their players makes a half break, the swarming support play by up to five runners behind the ball carrier has been unstoppable. The Australian Womens teams simply have no answer.

Each week OzHarvest rescues 180 tonnes of food from over 3,500 food donors. You might be surprised to hear some of the statistics surrounding food waste in Australia e.g. 4 million people in Australia experience food insecurity each year. The need is real and OzHarvest is playing an enormous role towards addressing this need.Lyndall has never stopped exploring, nor has she been afraid of seeking and implementing change in her life. Lyndall's career started in hairdressing but she knew this did not fulfil her so she moved towards her passion - food, fresh produce and community - and has never looked back. She's worked at farmers' markets, in food styling and photography and at the famous Stefano's in Mildura where she launched a successful line of preserves.

Australian State Uses High-Tech Cameras to Catch Distracted Drivers

New South Wales in Australia plans to roll out AI cameras that can catch drivers who use mobile phones inside vehicles. According to Andrew Constance, the state's minister for Transport and Roads, the new scheme is meant to keep drivers from getting distracted by their phones. Records show that in recent years, accidents involving drivers using mobile phones have been increasing. To lessen these accidents, authorities have decided to use advanced AI-powered cameras to keep track of drivers. The devices use AI to exclude drivers who are not using phones and other gadgets. Drivers may still use phones inside vehicles, but only through phone cradles or via Bluetooth connection. They are also allowed to pass a phone to another passenger or use it in drive-through services. If a driver is using a phone or another device illegally, the AI cameras will take photos of the vehicle's registration plate, as well as the driver's hands. Authorities will verify the photos, and drivers found guilty will be sent a letter and fined at least $233. The official release of the cameras comes after a successful six-month trial run. Some of the cameras will be fixed on the road, while portable ones will be moved around within the area. Drivers will not know if they are near any of the special cameras. Despite the intentions of the new scheme, it was criticized by an Australian roadside assistance organization. The group wants the government to set up warning signs whenever drivers approach the special cameras. Constance argued, however, that the cameras have to be hidden so that drivers will be responsible whether or not they are being watched.

Welcome back to Future Squared for yet another installment of Fast Fix Friday, although this one is another not so fast fix edition. In this episode, I aim to shine a light on the deceptive practices being carried out by digital agencies across the globe, and whilst I will be speaking specifically about practices pertaining to serving corporate innovation clients, the same set of practices are affecting young startups and entrepreneurs everywhere. I feel it my obligation, as somebody who works in the space of innovation and entrepreneurship, to ring the warning bell. If it means that one less person, or one less organisation, ends up not spending tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on inferior applications that don’t serve to move the needle an inch forward, and in fact go on to compromise the individual or organization’s desire to bring something new into the world, then I will consider this a very worthy use of my time. Of course, not all digital agencies are created equal, just like not all innovation consultants, are created equal. There is good and bad in every industry, but having seen first hand through my work on too many times to count, digital agencies over-charging and under-delivering, I couldn’t sit idly by any longer. To make my point, I first need to take you back to the mid 19th Century to a rural town in the Australian State of Victoria by the name of Ballarat. --- Employee to Entrepreneur book: www.employeetoentrepreneur.io Listen to Future Squared on Apple Podcasts  goo.gl/sMnEa0 Also available on: Spotify, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, Stitcher and Soundcloud Twitter: www.twitter.com/steveglaveski Instagram: www.instagram.com/@thesteveglaveski Future Squared: www.futuresquared.xyz Steve Glaveski: www.steveglaveski.com  Medium: www.medium.com/@steveglaveski NEW Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/

Australian State Government Plans to Reform Law for Unpaid Fines

レアジョブ英会話 Daily News Article Podcast

The Western Australian (WA) government plans to revise its current law that entails imprisonment of people with unpaid fines. At the moment, WA is the only state in the country that imprisons people for not paying fines after committing offenses that are often considered petty. In the reformed law, only a magistrate, or an official who handles minor crimes, will be authorized to order prison time for people who are unable to pay fines. Currently, an official from the Fines Enforcement Registry has the authority to issue a warrant for the imprisonment of a person with unpaid fines. Data from previous research showed that since 2010, over a thousand people in the state have ended up in prison each year for their inability to pay fines. A 2016 report claimed that people experiencing severe poverty are likely to receive jail sentences because of unpaid fines. These people mostly consist of native Australians called Aborigines, the unemployed, single mothers, and vulnerable groups such as the homeless. Therefore, the proposed change in the law, which will take effect in July, aims to prevent imprisonment of underprivileged people caused by the lack of means to pay fines. In addition, the changes will allow these people to pay their fines over a period of time or find alternative ways to pay them off. The government promised the reforms in the law following a campaign by Sisters Inside, a group that supports the human rights of women in prison. This group initiated the #FreeThePeople GoFundMe campaign in January this year to raise money to shoulder the fines of Aboriginal women who are serving time. The campaign has received donations from over 7,000 people and has raised nearly $300,000 to free people from prison and pay issued warrants. The group is targeting 10,000 donors to take part in the campaign.

Here is the news.A Chinese envoy to the United Nations has called on the international community to adapt to the new trends and features of terrorist groups and enhance cooperation in fighting terrorism.Recently, multiple terrorist attacks occurred in Egypt, Afghanistan, Britain, France, Iran and other places, causing severe casualties and property losses. Chinese's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations made the remarks at a Security Council meeting which focused on the threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.He stressed that terrorism is the common enemy of mankind and its impact goes beyond borders; and no country can address terrorism by itself or keep itself from terrorism.The Chinese envoy called for measures to reach international consensus, deal with the root causes of terrorism, stem the transnational movement of terrorists, cut off their financing channels and fight against their propaganda.He said the international community should put solving regional hot-spot issues as a top priority, and work to promote political dialogues to address regional conflicts and maintain regional peace, stability and development, so as to eradicate the root cause of terrorism.This is Special English.China is working on reusable launch vehicles and has achieved progress in some key areas.A carrier rocket official says the processes under development include parachute-landing and propulsion-landing. Reusable lift-body launchers will be developed in three stages, namely, rocket-engine partial reusable vehicle, rocket-engine full reusable vehicle and combined cycle-engine reusable vehicle.The official said the Long March carrier rockets still have room for improvement, adding that China is developing a heavy-lift launch vehicle with a payload of 140 tonnes to low Earth orbit and 50 tonnes to lunar transfer orbit.The heavy-lift carrier rocket is currently called the Long March-9, and it should be sent into space by 2030.A low-cost commercial medium launch vehicle, the Long March-8, is under development, and based on the Long March-8, a new high-orbit medium launch vehicle should be designed to improve the Long March series and enhance competitiveness.You're listening to Special English. I'm Ryan Price in Beijing. China's Food and Drug Administration has approved a new-generation of heart valve replacement product, which greatly reduces surgery time and increases survival rate.The developers announced recently that the J-Valve has passed clinical tests and will be put into use across China.Traditional solutions require doctors to make a big incision on the patients' chests and open their hearts to put the prosthetic valve inside manually. The process takes about four hours and poses risks of wrong positioning of the valve and loss of blood.The J-Valve system features minimally invasive surgery. It is easier to implant and provides automatic positioning of the valve. Doctors only watch an electronic screen and operate outside the patients' bodies. The whole procedure lasts about 10 minutes.This is Special English.The World Health Organization has started a "smoke-free generation" media campaign in Beijing targeting young people in China.A World Health Organization representative says China is in the grip of a national tobacco epidemic, and children are most susceptible with cigarettes portrayed as fashionable and alluring in popular culture.According to World Health Organization, over half of Chinese adult men smoke, two thirds of whom started as young adults. By 2014, 73 percent Chinese students had been exposed to secondhand smoke.The official says there is nothing cool about smoking, but there is something empowering about choosing to live a healthy, smoke-free life.Since China ratified the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in 2005, the country has made a number of tobacco control efforts, including banning tobacco advertisements, increasing tobacco taxes and putting forward regional smoking bans.As of 2016, 18 cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, had implemented regional smoking bans.China has set a target to reduce the smoking rate among people aged 15 and older to 20 percent by 2030 from the current 28 percent.

The government must remain vigilant and committed to preventing new Zika infections.The new analysis reviewed the cases of 2,550 women with possible Zika virus infections who completed their pregnancies, of which 1,508 had confirmed Zika virus infections.In this report, more than 120 pregnancies resulted in Zika-associated birth defects.This is Special English.Researchers at the University of California in San Francisco have found that older people with persistent pain show quicker declines in memory as they age and are more likely to have dementia years later.Findings from their study, which appears to be the first to make this association, indicate that chronic pain could somehow be related to changes in the brain that contribute to dementia.The researchers analyzed data from 10,000 participants aged 60 and up over a 12-year period.The participants who said they were persistently troubled by moderate or severe pain in both years 1998 and 2000 declined 9 percent faster in tests of memory function over the next 10 years than those who said they were not troubled by pain.Those who complained about persistent pain also had a small but significantly increased likelihood of developing dementia overall.Researchers say the findings point toward new ways of thinking about how to protect older people from the cognitive insults of aging.Elderly people need to maintain their cognition to stay independent. Up to one in three older people suffer from chronic pain, so understanding the relationship between pain and cognitive decline is an important first step toward finding ways to help this population.You're listening to Special English.

Now the news continues.U.S. researchers studying autism say they were now able to use brain scans to detect functional changes in high-risk babies as young as six months of age and then predict who would be diagnosed with the condition at age two.Autism affects roughly one out of every 68 children in the United States. Siblings of children diagnosed with autism are at higher risk of developing the disorder.Although early diagnosis and intervention can help improve outcomes for children with autism, there currently is no method to diagnose the disease before children show symptoms.The current study is conducted by a research team led by investigators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The study focused on the brain's functional connectivity, or how regions of the brain work together during different tasks and during rest.Using an imaging technique called functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging, the researchers have scanned 59 high-risk, six-month-old infants while they slept naturally.The children were deemed high-risk because they have older siblings with autism. At the age of two, 11 of the 59 infants in this group were diagnosed with autism, and nine of the 11 infants would go on to have autism.This is Special English.The Australian State of New South Wales' health department has announced that it will ban sugary soft drinks in all hospitals and care facilities by the end of this year, in order to combat the growing problem of obesity.The move comes as part of its "Make Healthy Normal" campaign, which aims to achieve a five percent reduction in overweight and obesity rates in adults by 2020.Chief health officer Kerry Chant said there's no better way to start than right here on our own doorstep. He said it is important that NSW Health provides healthy food and drink choices for all the staff and visitors.Chant said that by establishing this model, they hope it shows how a workable strategy can be successfully implemented across any organization to assist healthier choices in any staffing environment.According to the NSW Heart Foundation, a health advocacy and charity group, "one in two adults and more than one in five children in NSW are overweight or obese. It dramatically heightens the risk of a wide range of chronic health conditions including "type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke and some cancers.You're listening to Special English.

A new study by University of Washington transportation engineers indicates that delivering packages with drones can reduce carbon dioxide emissions in certain circumstances as compared to truck deliveries.The study suggests that drones tend to have carbon dioxide emissions advantages over trucks when the drones don't have to fly very far to their destinations or when a delivery route has few recipients; and they compete especially well for small, light packages, such as a bottle of medicine or a kid's bathing suit.However, the carbon benefits erode as the weight of a package increases, since unmanned aerial vehicles have to use additional energy to stay aloft with a heavy load.The study compares carbon dioxide emissions and vehicle miles traveled from drone and truck deliveries in 10 different, real-world scenarios in Los Angeles, Southern California. The study noted that it's unlikely that drones will be used for all delivery applications but that there are some contexts in which they appear to make sense, such as shorter trips in less densely developed communities, or in controlled places like a military base or campus.This is Special English."Wonder Woman" of Warner Bros. topped the box office in North America with an estimated 100 million U.S. dollars on its debut weekend, making the Patty Jenkins-directed superhero film the biggest ever opening weekend for a female director.The latest DC Comics superhero movie is the first big-budget superhero movie with a female lead to be directed by a woman. The previous record-holder for top opening for a female director was Sam Taylor-Johnson's "Fifty Shades of Grey" which debuted with an 85 million U.S. dollars on its debut weekend in 2015.And overseas, "Wonder Woman" also won the weekend with 122.5 million U.S. dollars from 55 markets for a global sum of 223 million U.S. dollars.Film analysts say the movie helps to get a lackluster summer so far heading in the right direction. A perfectly cast Gal Gadot in the lead role coupled with a great release date, killer marketing campaign and above all a great movie that has both critics and audiences buzzing on social media, contributed to this better than expected result.(全文见周日微信。)
