This document discusses place-based poverty and promising approaches to address it. It examines how poverty is linked to place and neighborhoods, and how problems become bundled together. Three promising approaches are highlighted: (1) Turning the Tide on Poverty, which explores causes of poverty and develops community-based action plans; (2) Neighborhood identity projects, which focus on local initiatives to build neighborhood pride and trust; and (3) Neighborhood microenterprise programs that support small local businesses. These approaches aim to address multiple problems by building social ties, reducing divides, and linking communities to resources. Examples of early outcomes and impacts of these projects are also provided.

Countryside and Community Research Institute

This document outlines an evaluation of the Water and Integrated Local Delivery (WILD) project in the Cotswolds and Swindon area of the UK. The WILD project aims to improve river ecosystems through partnerships between farmers, local communities, and agencies. It is led by the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group and evaluates the impact of integrated local delivery on enhancing ecosystem resilience. The evaluation found evidence that the project engaged stakeholders, improved communication and knowledge, and helped tackle multi-layer challenges at the local level. However, it also found that facilitators and government agencies need to give local partners more independence. The project implications include the need for government agencies to better integrate issues like water, flooding, and biodiversity, as well

ACTion Alexandria

ACTion Alexandria is an online platform that brings together neighbors and organizations in Alexandria, Virginia to coordinate volunteer efforts, exchange ideas, and solve community problems. The goal is to increase civic engagement through technology-aided "barnraisings" like those used in early American communities. Since launching, ACTion Alexandria has engaged hundreds of members in volunteer actions that have benefited local nonprofits. It has also run successful challenges to engage residents on issues like quality of life indicators. ACTion Alexandria shows that online tools can help communities address needs with fewer resources by inspiring offline collective action.

The document discusses building partnerships between government and community. It outlines two approaches: agency services which are top-down and focus on needs, and burgerkracht which empowers citizens and focuses on community strengths. Communities face crises like single-use zoning and increased mobility that reduce social connections. The government's role includes providing basic services while ensuring rights, but true partnerships require moving beyond top-down approaches and silos to empowering communities and supporting their priorities. Steps include funding community-driven projects, removing bureaucratic barriers, and building capacity through leadership training and networking forums. Success is measured not just by numbers but also by stronger, self-sufficient communities.

Social Media and Civic Engagement

Community engagement

Dr. Purshottam Jaspa

Community engagement seeks to better involve the community to achieve sustainable outcomes through participatory processes, relationships, decision-making, and implementation. It is a process that enables people to become actively involved in issues that affect their lives by defining the issues, making decisions, planning and delivering services, and creating change. Community engagement involves collaborative work with community groups to address issues affecting well-being, and often creates partnerships that mobilize resources to influence systems and policies. The term seeks to broaden the focus from individuals to the whole community while promoting inclusiveness.

Connecting Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: A Workshop at COINs 2015

juliahaines

Startups in local ecosystems are faced with many challenges. Entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders often face limited resources within their ecosystems for technical collaboration/licensing, partnership/entry to market, access to users, and fundraising, as we’ve witnessed through observations in New York, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Shanghai, and Sydney. The overarching goal of this workshop is to begin an ongoing conversation about how to create, support, and study infrastructures and practices to support knowledge sharing between startup ecosystems globally. The key elements of this workshop are to gather participants (researchers, industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders) from various ecosystems globally (particularly Tokyo and Silicon Valley) to discuss how we might build tools, collaborations, networks, and environments to begin to connect these ecosystems more broadly.

Toby lowe - The Gathering Feb 2020

VolunteerScotland

The document discusses complexity and its implications for funding and managing associational life through volunteering. It argues that complexity means outcomes are emergent properties of systems rather than delivered by organizations. This requires funding and management focused on creating conditions for learning and adaptation, not predetermined results. Learning must be continuous as what works is always changing. Funders should support learning capacity, not just results. Managers should focus on nurturing healthy systems and acting as system stewards to create positive outcomes.

VolunteerScotland

Over the last 6 months, Volunteer Scotland has been working with organizations to create a space for sharing ideas and learning within a human learning systems setting. They have discussed key topics around human learning systems such as variety, empathy, strengths-based perspectives, and trust. Volunteer Scotland wants to embrace a systems approach to volunteering rather than a traditional project-based approach, focusing on impact, understanding systems, capacity building, and continuous learning. They described the volunteer system in Scotland as complex with many interconnecting factors. Volunteer Scotland is providing an opportunity to become a systems steward to help create healthy systems by supporting ongoing learning, building relationships, and enabling co-design processes.

John Fellows

This document discusses the re-focusing of public services in East Ayrshire, Scotland. Drivers for change include drops in public sector funding, demographic changes, increased demand, and national reforms. A new service called Vibrant Communities was created by combining over 100 employees from various departments. Vibrant Communities takes an asset-based approach, focusing on community-led action plans, volunteering, and connecting community assets. These plans have led to increased community involvement, new organizations, and communities taking a more proactive role in their development. Small community projects have had big impacts through activities like litter cleaning, crowdfunding, and youth programs.

Engaging Communities to Reduce Poverty and Build Opportunity

sondramilkie

This document discusses engaging communities to reduce poverty through collaboration. It provides four key principles: 1) Poverty reduction requires involvement from many stakeholders, not just individuals. 2) Policies are most effective when citizens from all backgrounds provide input. 3) Community resources should be accessible to all. 4) People are more likely to participate if their needs are considered and they feel acknowledged. Examples are given of successful programs that brought together groups from various backgrounds to solve issues. The document emphasizes starting with what a community is ready for, identifying necessary partners, and using tools like power mapping and dialogue to mobilize more citizens to reduce poverty through concrete actions and policy changes.

Defining and Measuring Poverty in Social and Political Context - Keith Kilty

rpesapan

This document discusses poverty in the United States on the cusp of several 50th anniversaries related to anti-poverty programs and legislation. It provides statistics on the decline in poverty after the War on Poverty but then an increase in poverty over the past decade. Data shown includes the federal poverty line, participation and costs for major federal food and nutrition programs, median household income levels by race and sex.

rpesapan

The document summarizes key federal and state poverty programs in Southwest Virginia, including Medicaid, Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF), and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It notes that while Medicaid covers more services than other states, Virginia ranks low in spending per recipient. TANF requires work participation but offers limited jobs and education opportunities. SSI benefits alone do not alleviate poverty and support services are lacking in Southwest Virginia. The document outlines both benefits and shortcomings of these major poverty programs in the region.

rpesapan

This document discusses using the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) to analyze the population served by Family Health Teams in Brazil. It analyzed data from 50 Family Health Teams in Uberaba, Brazil serving 156,720 people. The results showed most families had low or no social risk, while rural areas faced medium risk. Education level and indirect income indicators like health insurance and car ownership were the most influential factors on social vulnerability. The SVI can help identify at-risk groups and target resources to improve health equity.

Three Lenses on Poverty - Robert Humphries & Aaron Fallon (TAP)

rpesapan

This document discusses poverty in Virginia localities over time through graphs and statistics. It finds that median incomes converged somewhat in the 1970s but diverged again after 2000. Poverty rates have increased in most localities and are closely correlated over time. For Roanoke specifically, the median income has declined in certain decades and the poverty rate has risen. Educational attainment in Roanoke lags the state average, and costs of health insurance have risen significantly as a percentage of median income. Job opportunities in Roanoke are tilted towards lower-paying work. The document argues that increasing educational attainment is key to escaping poverty and promoting racial equity.

Equal Opportunity and the Elderly - Angelica Tillander

rpesapan

The document discusses poverty statistics for the elderly population in the United States, noting that two-thirds rely on Social Security for at least half their income and that Social Security lifts over 14 million elderly people out of poverty. It also examines definitions of equal opportunity and capabilities put forth by Amartya Sen, stating that elderly individuals need more than just income for normal functioning within their community. Several key issues are identified, including high rates of social isolation for those in assisted living facilities, neglect and abuse in nursing homes, housing and transportation difficulties for independent elderly, and food insecurity issues. Proposed solutions focus on increasing funding for improving quality in institutions and home care programs while shifting to a more person-centered model of support and community participation

Cabell Brand Center Welcome Address - Risa Pesapane

This document discusses challenges related to poverty and opportunities to address it. It lists several US government programs established in the 1960s to tackle issues like jobs, education, housing, and healthcare. It also notes that extreme poverty is one of the greatest causes of human suffering. Several facts and statistics are presented about the scale of poverty in both the US and globally. Different terms related to poverty are discussed. The document explores various aspects of poverty like defining it, measuring it, and how it intersects with issues like climate change, technology, and rural vs urban settings. It asks questions about approaches to alleviating poverty. Finally, it mentions the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium which brings together institutions to collaborate on poverty education.

Women in a Bind: The Decline of Marriage, Markets and the State - Mimi Abramo...

rpesapan

Women have experienced a decline in economic security due to declines in three traditional pillars: marriage, the labor market, and the welfare state. Marriage rates and household headed by married couples have declined significantly since 1960. Both men and women are postponing marriage to older ages. Fewer jobs were gained by women compared to men during the recent economic recovery. Government spending on social programs has declined as a share of GDP since the 1970s, resulting in higher poverty rates, especially for women. Income inequality has risen substantially over this period as wages have not kept pace with productivity and profits.

James Anderson

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024 Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing

Aftab Hussain

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process. In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds. - These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Editor's Notes

Here is a closer look at how we are proposing to address the concern. Ultimately, our goal is to bring the community together to take action to fight poverty. This will take several steps including: Exploring the causes of povertyTalking about possible solutionsSelecting strategies that fit our community, and Working together for changeWhen we have finished the process, we will have a Community Action Plan that we have developed together that fits our community’s vision and needs.
Turning the Tide on Poverty Community Circles helps with all of these barriers by welcoming everyone, providing a clear process, helping people understand how an issue related to them personally, and creating a community-wide partnership that joins citizens and leaders together to address community issues.
The five states selected in Year One were: Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and OklahomaIn Year Two, seven new states join the initiative: Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia
