This document discusses key questions around the role of extension and advisory services in contributing to poverty reduction, food security, and improved livelihoods. It examines policy lessons from two decades of reform in governance structures, reduced public funding, and increased privatization of these services. The questions center on whether these reforms have increased accountability, efficiency, empowerment and impact. The future role of government in providing extension and advisory services as public goods is considered. Determining the appropriate mix of regulations, goods and services to offer context-specific extension is discussed. Research needs to fill remaining knowledge gaps are also addressed.
The document discusses how a community radio station's efforts around a financial crisis increased awareness of the problem, strengthened community ties, and spurred action and participation. It led to a large increase in calls to 211 for financial assistance and drove traffic to online resources. The station authentically partnered with organizations, reached new audiences, created resources by leveraging relationships, and helped break down silos. This aligned with conditions for collective impact by establishing a common agenda, shared measurements, mutually enforcing activities, continuous communication, and backbone support.
The document discusses the Nine Network's approach to community impact through collaborative partnerships. It defines key terms like community impact, actions, and impact (results). It outlines models for achieving impact from informal to collective impact partnerships over time. It discusses considerations for community impact like staffing, culture shift, and funding. Finally, it provides examples of the Network's community impact initiatives on issues like the mortgage crisis, high school dropout rates, and water conservation which achieved increased awareness, understanding, and community action through collaborative storytelling and engagement efforts.
This document outlines a vision and plan to restore a community and empower youth. The vision is to realize the full potential of the community and youth by promoting development, growth, and sustainability despite declining budgets and opportunities. Stakeholders like the city council, school board, and community organizations will work together on key areas like education, community safety, and outreach. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths like available facilities, but also weaknesses like lack of funding and threats from gangs. The methodology includes surveying community and youth needs. Goals are outlined to increase educational opportunities, promote safe communities, community outreach, service, and grant writing to restore a vacant school building and provide support for youth.

The document discusses perceptions of mining development and community preparedness. It finds that communities did not believe development would occur, felt uninformed, and expected major changes both positive and negative. People were not prepared and saw that organization, learning from others, leadership, and information were important to prepare. Both positive impacts like jobs and infrastructure, and negative impacts like housing costs and environmental effects were identified. Communities needed to overcome disbelief, receive more information and organization, and have strong leadership from local government to best prepare for mining development impacts.

An anxious 52-year-old man is presenting for revision of a previous tympano-mastoidectomy surgery. He has a history of postoperative nausea and vomiting after prior procedures. Monitored anesthesia care with sedation may be suitable for this patient's surgery given his anxiety. General anesthetic techniques that minimize postoperative nausea and vomiting risks include the use of antiemetics like ondansetron and dexamethasone. Regional anesthesia may further reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting risks compared to general anesthesia. Control of blood loss is important during middle ear surgery to maintain a bloodless surgical field. Long-acting neuromuscular blocking agents should be avoided due to the delicate nature of middle ear surgery.

Ionic bonding occurs when a metal reacts with a non-metal, resulting in the metal atom donating electrons to form cations while the non-metal accepts electrons to form anions. These oppositely charged ions bond together into giant ionic structures rather than molecules. For example, when magnesium reacts with chlorine, each magnesium atom donates two electrons to form Mg2+ ions while each chlorine atom accepts one electron to form Cl- ions, combining together in a 1:2 ratio to form the ionic compound magnesium chloride with the formula MgCl2.
An insider’s Point of View: Building The European (Digital) Library. Presenta...Olaf Janssen
The European Library is a service that provides access to the catalogs and digital collections of 47 European national libraries through a central multilingual portal. It relies on common standards for access protocols, metadata, and collection descriptions. While operational, it currently only includes collections from libraries.

(HEPE) College And Youth Activism On Health Disparities And Social Determinan...antz505
Many youth leaders are compelled to do work with community based non-profit and local public health agencies as both a service learning and philanthropic component in their development as young professionals. However, despite invaluable experiential learning, students often don\'t comprehend key overarching issues such as health disparities, social determinants of health, health policy and community organizing. To address this gap and optimize their community based work, the Health Disparities Student Collaborative (HDSC), a Boston-based student group under Critical MASS for eliminating health disparities and the Center for Community Health Education Research and Service Inc. (CCHERS), developed a curriculum for students designed to broaden their perspectives while working with local public health, non-profit/community organizations and to develop their interest and ability to visualize the power of their collective voice as students and contributors to social justice work. The curriculum utilizes peer education and webinar software and covers three main topics: Current State of Health Disparities, Social Determinants of Health, and Youth Activism on Health Disparities/Social Determinants of Health. HDSC has collaborated with local partners CCHERS/Critical MASS and the Community Based Public Health Caucus (CBPHC) Youth Council to develop this comprehensive “Health Equality Peer Education” training.

Opportunity: Spur progress on our most persistent and costly socio-economic and environmental problems by cultivating a national network of neighborhood-based civic stewardship initiatives. A critical mass of neighborhood efforts in 300 U.S. cities can save hundreds of billions in annual government costs, while fostering “collective efficacy” and wellbeing in communities nationwide.
Why now: Recent developments in measures (spurred by the proliferation of “public data”), social media (e.g., neighborhood websites), and monetization (e.g., social impact bonds) are “disruptive innovations” that create ripe opportunities for quantum change.

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).
