Arash Ghafouri, Culture Development and Communication Senior Manager at MTN Irancell, explores the surprising utility of "useless" knowledge. As a child, he faced social and family challenges, prompting him to study extensively. This pursuit led him to accumulate vast knowledge, making his mind akin to an encyclopedia.

Ghafouri has since created a directory of diverse information, often considered "useless," yet proving both interesting and informative to many. This talk was presented at a TEDx event.

Sristi Kamal, Oregon Representative for Defenders of Wildlife, testified for House Bill 2548, which proposes a study to fund wildlife crossings and safe passage structures on Oregon highways. The goal is to reduce collisions and protect ecosystems.

Kamal emphasized the severe economic and ecological impacts of wildlife collisions, including property damage, human injury, and animal loss. Collisions hinder species' movement, food access, and genetic diversity. A neighboring state estimated $2.5 million in annual collision costs on just 12.5 miles of highway. She argued the study is crucial to finding solutions, demonstrating that passage benefits will far outweigh initial investment, preventing further losses. Kamal urged continued engagement in the Oregon Legislative session to support better wildlife policies.

Jakarta's peak hour traffic creates stress for both motorists and pedestrians, with sidewalks often misused by motorcycles and vendors, endangering those on foot. Alfred Sitorus, an avid cyclist and co-founder of the Jakarta Pedestrian Coalition, discusses efforts to protect pedestrian spaces.

Established in 2011, the coalition arose from the question, 'who does the sidewalk actually belong to?' Their goal is to return sidewalks to their rightful owners through campaigns like 'sidewalk sightseeing,' advocating for National Pedestrian Day, and conducting social audits to ensure public facility quality.
