This document summarizes a research project that aims to foster partnerships between sacred places and arts organizations in Philadelphia. It found that most sacred places and arts organizations are interested in partnering to fulfill missions and develop audiences, but lack resources like staff, funding and technical expertise. The project proposes a training program, shared management structure, rental subsidy program and capital grants program to help sacred places host arts organizations by addressing organizational, financial and facility needs. The goal is to maximize the use of underutilized sacred spaces and help every arts organization in Philadelphia find an affordable place to operate.
The document summarizes the impact of government public sector cuts on Blackburn with Darwen. It discusses cuts of £48 million over four years for the local council, including £29 million next year alone. This will require cuts to council services and tough choices about priorities. The Care Trust Plus will also need savings of over £6 million in 2011/12 and similar amounts in future years to deal with limited funding increases. Residents will be consulted through meetings, surveys and an online tool to provide input on budget cuts.
This document discusses the public value of historic sacred places like churches and their role in communities. It summarizes research that shows congregations provide over $200,000 worth of community services annually through volunteer hours and use of their buildings. However, many are at risk of closure due to disrepair costs. The document outlines Partners for Sacred Places' efforts to document this public value through tools and studies to help congregations make their case for support and preserve their community role. One pilot study estimated one congregation's total "halo effect" or economic impact on its surrounding area at over $21 million.
The document summarizes the key components and functions of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. It describes how the system filters waste from the blood and regulates water and electrolyte balance. Common urinary tract infections are also discussed, along with their causes, symptoms, and treatment options. Chronic renal failure and its stages and causes are briefly covered as well.
The endocrine system maintains homeostasis through glands like the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenals, pineal and pancreas. These glands secrete hormones which regulate bodily processes. Suffixes like -crine and -emia provide information about endocrine functions. The document defines and gives examples of apocrine glands, eccrine glands and various types of anemia including iron deficiency, sickle cell, thalassemia and aplastic anemia.
The document summarizes information about commonly used respiratory system medications including Flonase, Mucomyst, and Ventolin. Flonase is a corticosteroid nasal spray used to reduce swelling and inflammation in the nasal passages. Mucomyst is used to thin mucus in the lungs making breathing easier for conditions like COPD. Ventolin is a bronchodilator inhaler used to treat and prevent bronchospasm in people with asthma or exercise induced breathing problems. All three medications can cause side effects like irritation, nausea, and paradoxical bronchospasm so precautions are outlined.
The integumentary system consists of the skin, nails, and hair. It protects the body and helps regulate temperature. Specialists who treat conditions of the skin are called dermatologists. Dermatitis is skin inflammation that causes redness and itching. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer. Protecting skin from sunlight can prevent damage and disease.
Cardiac CT scan and echocardiography are non-invasive tests used to examine the heart. Cardiac CT scan uses x-rays to produce detailed images of the heart and can detect problems like calcium buildup, heart valve issues, or blood clots. Echocardiography uses ultrasound to create moving images of the heart and is useful for assessing heart valve function and detecting issues like coronary artery disease. Both tests provide information about heart size, shape, and pumping ability without radiation exposure for echocardiography.
1. The document discusses the growth and impact of social networks like Facebook from 2007 to 2008 based on user numbers and growth percentages in different regions.
2. It also discusses the influence of social networks and user recommendations versus reviews and advertising on consumer decisions like hotel booking.
3. The concept of "groundswell" is introduced as people using technologies to get things they need from each other rather than traditional institutions.

The document discusses how people have evolved from "doing digital" to "being digital". It suggests that being digital gives people superpowers through connectivity, data, and embedded digital experiences. It argues that to be digital, brands must build on data opportunities, embrace creativity, and unleash game dynamics to engage primal human response patterns.
The document discusses emerging trends in media consumption and participation. It notes that consumers are spending increasing amounts of time engaged with online media like social networks, videos, and user reviews rather than traditional media like television and newspapers. Brands are experimenting with new ways of engaging consumers online through user-generated content, virtual worlds, and social networks. The key takeaway is that consumers now demand more choice, control, and participation in their media experiences.
The document discusses trends in media fragmentation, with people spending more time online and less time with traditional media like TV, radio, and newspapers. Simultaneous media usage is becoming the norm, with people consuming multiple media sources at once. Younger age groups have adopted new media like blogs, podcasts, and community tools more readily than older groups and are more influenced by new media in their purchasing decisions. The internet is becoming a primary source of information and entertainment, replacing other media like TV and music players. This is forcing traditional media companies and advertisers to adapt to the changing media landscape.
The document discusses emerging technologies like nanotechnology, quantum computing, smart dust, augmented reality, 3D printing, and their potential impacts. It suggests these technologies could disrupt many industries and jobs over the next 15 years, but also presents opportunities to leverage new technologies to reinvent business models, improve products and services, and help address challenges like poverty and disease. The document emphasizes both the promises and risks of these new technologies and their development.

1) The document promotes downloading a free iPad app now and discusses how digital technology is changing how we interact with products and each other.
2) As technology becomes more integrated into our lives and we have constant access to the internet, our awareness shifts from memory to online search and our purchasing decisions move from independent choice to assisted choices based on omniscience.
3) Relationships also shift from brands leading the conversation to consumers and social influence replacing traditional advertising as friends and peers become more accessible through technology.
1. New media like the internet is constantly changing and developed in a decentralized way by millions of people, allowing for more participation and conversation compared to traditional top-down old media.
2. Control over media and the conversation is shifting away from large media companies as people now have more options to find niche content online and participate in creating their own materials.
3. Emerging technologies will make online search more sophisticated over time, potentially leading to an advanced "Web 3.0."
This document provides an overview and introduction to key concepts related to Web 2.0, including tagging, RSS, and podcasting. It defines Web 2.0 as having shared and tagged content within website shells, with personalized interfaces powered by hyperlinks, feeds, tags, and user-generated content. RSS and podcasting allow for widespread diffusion and syndication of content across websites, aggregators, and mobile devices. Tagging associates keywords to content to organize and classify it without predetermining its use.
The document discusses various marketing strategies and trends, including:
1) Listening to consumer tastes and testing with consumers is important for understanding preferences. Tests showed variability in what makes consumers happy.
2) Media is fragmenting and consumers now multi-task, so optimizing media spending across channels is crucial.
3) Relationship marketing and engaging customers is a better approach than just focusing on products or best practices. Vendor relationship management can drive more business.

Tim Groeling is a professor and former chair of the UCLA Department of Communication Studies. He has written numerous books and articles on political communication, including the award-winning “When Politicians Attack.” He is currently leading a project to digitize three decades of television news for the UCLA Communication Studies Archive.
This document discusses how associations can maximize the value of their content investments. It notes that associations typically create content in silos by department rather than strategically planning content together based on goals and audience needs. To get the most value from content, the document recommends that associations: 1) plan content creation together across departments; 2) repurpose existing content and add cross-links between pieces; and 3) actively curate existing content on their own websites and channels to showcase value to members. Creating content in a coordinated, repurposed, and curated way allows associations to avoid duplication and ensure all content is working towards common goals.
Whether we like it or not, data-hungry algorithms and AI-powered recommendation engines are now mediating all performing arts engagement online. Oddly, the technologies behind these algorithms were initially not designed for commercial interests but rather for collaboration. So, shall we simply comply with Google and Alexa’s requirements for data? Or shall we rather build a shared data ecosystem that will serve both our needs and those of bots?

GAHWNY Spring 2016 Digitization for HistoriansLarry Naukam
This document provides an overview of digitization for historians, including why digitization should be done, things to consider, and tips. Key points include:
- Digitization can promote history by making collections more accessible online and increasing usage. It's important to plan projects carefully and select appropriate materials.
- Copyright and rights issues must be addressed, and a takedown policy should be in place. Not everything needs to be digitized immediately.
- Metadata standards and guidelines should be followed. Test uploads should be done before full publication. Marketing the digital collection is important for discovery.
- Equipment like scanners should capture sufficient resolution. Both professional and DIY solutions exist. Example projects demonstrate the possibilities
Cultural heritage organizations are collaborating with community partners to tell history in innovative and interactive ways.
How do we design workflows to capture community content, how can we share content “sustainably”, and why does it matter? This session will focus on best practices for gathering community contributions whether you’re collaborating in a physical space or virtually. We’ll share some “lessons learned” on working with cultural heritage data.
The document outlines the history of connecting various initiatives to create the Norwick Center for Digital Services at Southern Methodist University.

Demographic Data Collection Implications and OpportunitiesStephanie Gutowski
The document discusses a common API solution to address integration challenges between different customer relationship management (CRM) systems, fundraising platforms, and other digital tools used by nonprofits and political organizations. It proposes a standardized interface that would allow these various systems to connect and share data in a unified way.
Key points:
- Nonprofits currently face high costs and inefficiencies when integrating different tools like CRMs, event systems, and fundraising platforms that all use separate APIs.
- A common API specification is proposed to establish a shared language and data standard for these systems to interconnect.
- This would lower costs for nonprofits and agencies by streamlining integrations and allowing systems to more easily work together.

Our big goal with the Safe Shelter Collaborative? We want to reduce the time it takes a survivor of human trafficking or domestic violence to get shelter. We had a chance to share a project update recently. And this is what we said.
Your organization’s content is an investment in the present…and the future. The organization invests in a LOT of content – not only the webinars and conference sessions that your department produces, but also magazine articles, press releases, maybe research reports, clinical guidelines, industry standards, and more. But is the organization making the most of its content investments? For an event session, why invest in a conference room, A/V, possibly even food and beverage for only the 50 people that were able to attend, when the information covered in that session would be useful to so much more of your target audience?
Learn how to think more strategically about your content as an investment, and how to make the most of it.

Long-term Outcomes
• Take a Philadelphia pilot project into implementation by 2011
• Expand the project to other parts of Philadelphia
• Expand the project nationally to other regions
The arts and culture sector and the sacred community are able to support each
other more concertedly in the areas of financial and stakeholder development.

Participants
• 43 Center City congregations, small and large and across multiple
denominations were invited to participate: 20 in core sample, the
balance subject to more restricted investigation.
• 32 visual and performing arts organizations operating in
Philadelphia were invited, representing dance, music, theatre, multi-
arts presenters: 20 in the core sample, with a special case study for
visual arts.
• Case studies of existing partnerships and feedback from emerging
organizations and individual artists.

Selection
• This is a focus-style study and is not meant to be a comprehensive
survey of all sacred places and arts organizations.
• Participants were selected based on relationships and knowledge
developed by Partners and our local arts service organizations.
• You don’t need to have participated in the study to benefit from it.
The resulting programs will benefit the wider community.

Process
We will be collecting three basic kinds of data:
• Physical and Technical Data
• Organizational Data
• Attitudinal & Leadership
We will be collecting this data through:
• On-Site Interviews (with organizational leaders)
• Electronic Surveys (administered to congregants/audiences)

Physical & Technical Data (Sacred Places)
• Historical & Building Information/Code
• Space Types & Frequency of Use (including current arts use)
• Space Size & Capacity
• Controlled Access
• Accessibility (ADA)
• Visitor Amenities (transportation, parking, restrooms,etc.)
• Production Amenities & Equipment
• Physical Condition, Hazards, & Use Restrictions

Physical & Technical Data (Arts Organizations)
• Space Needs & Frequency of Use
• Programming Capacity
• Technical Accessibility & Artist Amenity Needs
• Production Amenities & Technical Needs
• Current Use of Sacred Space
• Priority Needs (general)

Organizational & Receptivity Data (both groups)
• Financial Information
• Personnel & Volunteers
• Operations & Planning
• Values & Perceptions
• Strength/Clarity of Leadership

Audience & Congregation Data
(E-Survey)
We will ask a series of questions about the values, perceptions, and
demographics of both congregations and arts organizations.
We will also ask questions of both congregants and audience members
about priorities, barriers/benefits of attending arts events/sacred
places.

Preliminary Findings: Attitudes/Receptivity
• There is great interest in partnership and needs fulfillment among
both artist organizations and faith-based communities.
• Most sacred places cite mission and the need to reach out and build
awareness for their work as the main reasons to want to partner, not
financial gain.
• Most arts organization cite audience development, and an
identification of similar mission (“the human soul”) as the reason for
partnership.
• There are complex value perception dynamics among faith
15. QuickTime™ and a

Preliminary Findings: Organization/Operations
• There is deficit of human resources, tech expertise, and financial
capacity on both sides of the equation (arts organizations and sacred
places).
• There is a lack of shared language, understanding of organizational
dynamics/politics, as well as basic needs and operating “cultures.”
• There are no standards of cost/value among sacred places, and it is a
very difficult to negotiate financial relationships; sacred space is under-
valued.
• There are few processes and frameworks for talking about content and
16. QuickTime™ and a

are needed to see this picture.
Preliminary Findings: Physical/Technical
• There is a wealth of under-utilized sacred space in and a fair amount
of arts use of that space, but nothing close to maximizing potential.
• There is a lack in most sacred spaces of key technical outfitting, spatial
flow, and ADA/code compliance needed for greater cultural use.
• There is a fair potential for multi-space use (administration, rehearsal,
performance, etc.) and availability is generally high.
• Overall condition of spaces and readiness for modest capital
investments (physical and technical) is relatively high.
