Art from the heart presentation by Louise CampbellAnn Baillie
Louise Campbell, CICADAS presents a case study on securing funding for their Art from the Heart project and explains the role Red Ridge can play assisting others in the region with fundraising.
This document discusses how different media sources can help create or influence perceptions of a place identity. It notes that media sources like paintings, literature, photographs, newspaper articles, radio, TV, and videos can promote a biased view of an area as local councils and organizations aim to attract businesses and residents. Specific examples are given of how schemes in rural Wales have been portrayed differently across media like the internet, Twitter, newspapers, and poems to influence perceptions of areas and the success of regeneration projects. The document prompts the reader to complete a media source table analyzing sources promoting new identities for Liverpool and The Lake District.
Church Street- Arts and Culture Sept 2014 (1)Beth Cinamon
This document outlines a framework to support arts and cultural projects in the Church Street area of London as part of a housing renewal program. It recommends creating creative spaces, establishing funding and communication networks, and appointing a coordinator. Creative space ideas include expanding an arts venue, building new studios and exhibition spaces, and replacing a historic theatre. A funding process and local panel would distribute money according to criteria like community engagement. Communication networks like Mapify would publicize opportunities. The coordinator role would help implement the framework and leverage additional funds. The goal is to make the neighborhood a vibrant cultural destination through community-focused art projects.

This document makes the holistic case for supporting arts and culture by providing examples of how it benefits culture, education, society, and the economy. It highlights arts organizations that preserve cultural heritage and provide access to the arts, as well as education programs that teach music, dance, and creative skills. Examples also show how the arts can help former prisoners develop skills and support well-being in healthcare settings. The document argues that arts and culture are not just for the elite but fuel the broader economy, and that cities' innovative potential lies in the creative union of technology, arts and civic life. It invites the reader to consider how these concepts interconnect and which policies should result.
Jay Pather presents on Cape Town public art festival Infecting the CityCape Town Partnership
Jay Pather presents on the Cape Town public art festival, Infecting the City: Public art has always been part of who we are on this continent and in this country. The interconnectedness of the African “us” has often been impeded however, throwing people apart and far away from each other, creating a physical and psychic separation. Infecting the City is a small attempt at igniting this interconnectedness through artistic expression, making public space public.
Redditch has a population of approximately 84,471 people and emerged as a New Town in the 1960s. It was responsible for producing 90% of the world's needles at one point.

From Green Roots to Green Shoots - How did Bristol develop its sustainability...NetImpactBristol
This document summarizes the development of Bristol's sustainability movement from the 1970s to present day. It describes how citizen groups came together in the 1970s to oppose an outer circuit road project, leading to the founding of organizations like Bristol Friends of the Earth and Cyclebag (now Sustrans). These groups pioneered recycling, energy efficiency, and active transportation initiatives. The document also notes the importance of cross-sector collaboration and how youth programs and local government support helped sustainability organizations gain traction in Bristol. It concludes by reflecting on how Bristol became the UK's first Transition City and a 2015 European Green Capital.
Save the Heart of Huskisson, Jervis Bay - Community Campaign presentation to ...HeartofHuskisson
This document summarizes a campaign to acquire an empty block of land in Huskisson, known as the "RSL Carpark Block", and turn it into a public space. Key points:
- There is strong local and worldwide support through an online petition of over 3,000 signatures to acquire the land and protect the ocean views.
- Acquiring the land would realize the area's tourism potential by creating an active community/cultural space. It could include an outdoor venue, park, or amphitheater.
- Developing the space could generate revenue and be a valuable legacy for the region's tourism industry into the future. Funding suggestions include joint funding from various government levels or loans.
This document discusses harnessing the power of Glasgow's local arts sector through a collaboration between Glasgow Life and Creative Carbon Scotland. It proposes using their expertise and networks to better understand how cultural organizations can shift perceptions of sustainability in the city. Specific areas of focus include developing a methodology for assessing the social, environmental, and economic impacts of public art commissions and festivals through indicators and engaging various stakeholders. The goal is to apply the learnings to facilitate wider awareness and influence of sustainability through the arts sector.
This document discusses the Climate Arts Network, which holds events around the world to generate ideas about addressing climate change through art. It provides details on 20 events held so far in locations like the UK, France, Australia, India, and South Africa. Feedback from past participants indicates the events were impactful and stimulated new ways of thinking about climate change. The network aims to partner with others to hold more events combining art, climate topics like transportation and consumerism, and community engagement. Two proposed projects are described: an exhibition taking apart a car to represent the relationship between cars and climate change, and a performance work gathering stories about people's connections to cars.
The document discusses recommendations from an SDAT (Sustainable Design Assessment Team) for the city of Healdsburg, California to plan for future growth. It recommends (1) revising growth management policies to allow more affordable and "missing middle" housing, (2) creating a master plan to designate appropriate areas for infill and mixed-use development, and (3) establishing a public-private partnership to implement housing initiatives and ensure all community members are served.
The document discusses three types of settlement patterns: nucleated, linear, and dispersed. Nucleated settlements have houses built very close together around a central location. Linear settlements have houses built in a line, often following a road, river, coast, or valley. Dispersed settlements have individual buildings separated by several hundred meters with no single center, traditionally occurring where resources could not support dense populations.

The document discusses the potential effects of Brexit on UK agriculture and landscapes over the coming years. It outlines different Brexit scenarios from a hard Brexit with no deal to a soft Brexit with close EU ties. Economic analyses have found that introducing trade friction through tariffs or regulatory divergence could damage export-reliant UK farm sectors and raise food prices. The impacts would depend on future trade and agricultural support policies. Protected landscapes like national parks may be more vulnerable due to their reliance on grazing livestock and EU supports. The consequences for farming and landscapes remain uncertain as negotiations continue.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Editor's Notes
How it all began
South Dorset Ridgeway Landscape Partnership
Barrow
Wayfaring
How it sits in our Management Plan and how it benefits the AONB (hand out policy)
High quality celebration of the landscape/landscape features
Greater depth of engagement in landscape aspects and questions – archaeological heritage, farming heritage, wildlife
New audiences
Greater numbers of people simply being outside, hopefully stimulating revisits or more ‘nature contact’
Enriching experiences of the AONB
Benefits of having supportive policies in Management Plan; how this benefits the AONB
Engagement: Over 1,000 volunteers come from mainland - get free camping and meals, 50% discount on shows
Artists developed - work closely with organisers over years
'This demands flexibility from the artist as much as us – it is important to look for artists who can respect the area and the professionals who look after it '
Artists pay a bond - 500E
'You need to do the concept development with an intimate knowledge of the space'
Lived there for a month and half - 'knocked on every door'
A deep map - the soul of the landscape/the landscape of the soul translate into each other
NB All communities are resistant to change!
Visits to many different sites whilst looking – issues:
Sensitivities on coast – SSSI; breeding birds; visitor pressures; access issues - both physical (tide etc) and social (getting beyond usual audiences)
Natural England; Holkham Estate; Norfolk and Norwich Festival
Involvement of wider community – how, why - new opportunities to work across boundaries
These challenges are helping to forge new and useful working relationships.
