Met toeters en bellen hebben de helden van #post #brandweer #oudewater alvast afscheid van mij genomen. Er was een geweldige brandweer-oefening geregeld waaraan ik mocht deelnemen. Brandje blussen en auto open knippen. Veel respect voor deze hulpverleners. Ik ga ze missen. #vru

I look forward to the Autum School "Modern Stained Glass - Metadata - AI" in Münster next week 😊. This is a chance to present what we are doing in @nfdi4objects in the field of #materialheritage and what is the #ObjectBiography. This is a great chance to show the #datamodel based on the #NFDI4ObjectsObjectOntology my colleague Sarah Wagner at #CDI @FAU implemented in the #VRU #WissKI.
I look forward to the discussions and to receive feedback + needs from the #community for our developments.

How Scotland reduced violent crime - John Carnochan
Re sharing this transcript in context of #Adolescence series.
In Glasgow particularly we have long-standing problems with youngsters killing each other. Recently boy of 15 killed, suspect 14. Gang related knife crime is frequently involved. But the Violence Reduction Unit has helped reduce deaths in the city. I'm sure there are lessons others elsewhere can learn from.

Also in the area of security, Dave Bartlett started the discussion, speaking about the #IoT technology Spoke Safety, their customers and partners are using to protect vulnerable road users #VRU including cellular vehicle-to-everything #CV2X connectivity providing situational awareness for drivers and bike, scooter and wheelchair users, and pedestrians #IoTday #IoTday2024 #SensAE 6/16 https://www.spokesafety.com/

❗️The Armed Forces shot down two #Russian planes over the Sea of ​​#Azov , Deputy of the #VRU Committee on National Security #Mysiagin.

"It happened an hour and a half ago. #A_50 was shot down, and #IL_22 was shot down , but was in the air and tried to get to the nearest airfield. Disappeared from the radar in the #Kerch area."

We are waiting for confirmation from #PS 🔥

I tend to avoid #NewYearsResolutions, but not this year.
In 2024, I resolve to push back every single time someone uses the term #VRU, or #VulnerableRoadUser.

It's a transportation catchall for "humans not safely ensconsed inside a motor vehicle," and it's lazy, inaccurate, offensive, and counterproductive.

#NoMoreVRU #WeArePeople #RoadSafey #SafeStreetsForAll

@ErikJonker #nktegenwindfietsen mag nog wel wat meer aandacht krijgen :).

Maar ik hoop snel op organisaties als #VRU, dan kan Twitter straks echt helemaal de deur uit.

Vandaag onze stad van grote hoogte kunnen bekijken dankzij de #brandweer #vru Prachtig toch? #oudewater

I enjoy the game where you swap the acronym #VRU for the word "person" or "human" in a report draft and then wait to be told you're being too direct and might offend someone important by implying that actual human lives are at stake when they fail to regulate vehicles or build safer streets.

#NoMoreVRU #VisionZero

The panel discussion went on for over two hours. If you have a specific topic that interests your more than others:
