This document discusses the benefits of collaborations between museums and schools for learning. It provides background on the shifting ecology of learning and increased focus on relevance, accessibility, and co-creation in museums. Collaborations can support students' cognitive development and skills while helping museums reach new audiences and reflect on societal issues. The outcomes described are improved student knowledge, self-esteem, and school presence as well as benefits to teachers, schools, and society overall through alternative learning platforms and experiences that complement classroom curriculum. The document concludes with recommendations for successful collaborations, including securing administrative support, focusing on processes and outcomes, involving teachers, and leveraging the unique aspects of museums as learning environments.

Recent overdose deaths in Erie County, NY have involved fentanyl, either alone or mixed with other drugs like heroin and cocaine. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid analgesic 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. The Erie County Health Commissioner warned that a more potent form of illegally manufactured fentanyl may be responsible for the increased overdose deaths, as users are unaware of the extreme danger of fentanyl, especially when mixed with other drugs. Symptoms of fentanyl overdose include clammy skin, seizures, drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, and slowed breathing and heart rate.
This document discusses several electrocardiogram (ECG) findings:
1. A right bundle branch block with left axis deviation can indicate bifascicular block. T wave inversions in V1-V3 can be due to right bundle branch block or previous anterior wall myocardial infarction.
2. Brugada Syndrome Type 2.
3. Very rapid atrial fibrillation with a wide QRS complex indicates an accessory pathway leading to aberrant conduction, consistent with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
This document discusses several energy efficient methods for saving money including switching to fluorescent light bulbs, turning off lights when not in use, unplugging devices when not in use, installing solar panels or wind power, using energy star appliances, planting trees for shade, installing glazed windows, and upgrading water heaters. Fluorescent light bulbs use less energy and last longer than incandescent bulbs. Turning off lights and unplugging devices helps conserve fossil fuels and reduces air pollution and global warming. Solar panels and wind power can generate energy and save money over time.
The document discusses legacy and how to plan for one's legacy. It defines legacy as something transmitted from the past that can endure for a long time and affect other lives. A key question is whether one is working to live or living to work, and working for the present or for their legacy. The document provides exercises and worksheets to help people identify their values, accomplishments, strengths and weaknesses, and set goals to plan their legacy and ensure they are making a positive impact or influence.
ConservationSpace is a collaborative project between several international museums to create a shared platform for documentation in the field of conservation. The platform will allow users to create condition reports, document handling and storage of objects, and share information. An updated version 2.0 of ConservationSpace is planned for mid-2016 and will include features such as templates, search functions, and report generation to help standardize documentation practices across institutions.
The document describes the design and construction of a tracking solar oven. It has a fixed pedestal base that allows it to rotate on an axis to track the sun throughout the day, either manually or automatically. It uses both mirrors and a flat plate collector to concentrate sunlight and increase heat inside an insulated cooking chamber. The tracking mechanism uses a small amount of electricity to power rotation. Total materials cost to build the oven is approximately $300.
The document summarizes budgets and expenditures for the Prevention Services Division (PSD) of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for fiscal years 2010-11 and 2011-12. It shows that in 2010-11, PSD expenditures were $197 million with 169 FTEs, while total CDPHE expenditures were $409 million with 1,149 FTEs. For 2011-12, the PSD budget totals $210.8 million, including $16.5 million for personal services, $185.5 million for grants and contracts, and $5.2 million for other operating costs. The division budget will be used for operating within constraints, modeling potential cuts, tracking FTEs and vacancies, and

This document discusses the degradation of plastics over time. It examines research on the breakdown of various plastic materials, such as polyethylene bottles and polystyrene cups, when exposed to different environmental conditions like weather, sediment, and heat over periods of 2 years. The research found that plastic type and environment significantly impact degradation rates, with thermal aging causing faster breakdown than weather or water exposure. Most plastics showed chemical changes within 24 months, with polyurethane breaking down most quickly. Cigarette butts were also examined and found to degrade into paper and acetic acid. Understanding plastic degradation can help address the global pollution problem.
This document discusses sustainable transport and packaging materials for artworks. It summarizes the risks involved in transporting cultural heritage like vibration, climate changes, theft and accidents. It outlines preventative measures like planning, confidentiality, gloves, experienced handlers, adequate packaging, labeling, fastening, couriers, supervision and equipment to control temperature and humidity. It also notes the dilemma between requirements for transporting art versus sustainable solutions. Different transport methods like trucks, planes, ships and trains are discussed in terms of sustainability. Finally, it provides examples of sustainable packaging and transport approaches like reusable crates, flexible packaging systems and virtual couriering.
1. The document provides guidance on practicing integrated pest management (IPM) in a calm and reasonable manner. It advises focusing IPM efforts on key areas like sanitation, exclusion of pests, and monitoring, rather than trying to inspect and treat everything.
2. Effective monitoring of pest populations involves using traps, record keeping, and identifying problem areas. Traps should be placed strategically and checked regularly.
3. Proper inspection is the foundation of any IPM program. Inspections should be routine and involve looking for pests, signs of pests, and conditions that could attract pests. Focus inspection on vulnerable areas and artifacts.
