The panel discussion focused on 6 common themes from the previous day's presentations:
1. Developing statewide datasets like tax parcels, which received the most votes as the top priority. Participants discussed challenges in funding, standards, and ongoing maintenance.
2. Branding, demonstrating return on investment, and sharing success stories, such as through a new WLIA website. Developing templates and guidelines could help members promote their work.
3. Providing more training opportunities, potentially through webinars or partnering with other conferences, as travel restrictions often limit participation.
4. Establishing data sharing policies and addressing issues around non-reciprocal sharing and expectations of free data.

1) The document discusses how incorporating new media such as social media, blogs, and videos can help nonprofits improve relationships with donors, volunteers, and constituents.
2) It provides examples of new media tools like YouTube, blogs, wikis, and social networks and how nonprofits can use them to raise funds, market programs, engage volunteers, advocate for issues, and communicate internally and externally.
3) The document recommends that nonprofits focus on using new media to achieve their goals and outcomes rather than just adopting new tools for their own sake.
Water is a scarce resource and it is vital for all. However, we are faced with enormous challenges in preserving water as a resource and of good quality. The stakeholders are many and very diverse making Water Management very challenging. The presentation explores how social media may reach the diverse stakeholder audiences based on the experiences from an EU-funded project STEP-WISE. XPRO Consulting was responsible for the Communication and Dissemination activities of the two-year project.
Social media may advance water managementXeniaTheo
Internet and its social media have connected people, communicated ideas, made people aware of issues, events and advancement. You might think that social media are for teenagers and youngsters, but undoubtedly, they bring options in climate change and water issue awareness as well as solution possibilities among the professionals. However, do they really build communities of practice, help knowledge management and transfer and can they truly improve water management? Can they help bridge the communication gap between research, policy and industry? How do they facilitate communication to non-scientists and the wider public?Internet and its social media have connected people, communicated ideas, made people aware of issues, events and advancement.

Can they help bridge the communication gap between research, policy and industry? How do they facilitate communication to non-scientists and the wider public?
The presentation will discuss the possibilities and glitches based on the presenters’ experience gathered from two EU-funded projects and the WISE-RTD Water Knowledge Portal as well as other social media. The presenter hopes to highlight social media’s upsides and downsides and how they can provide a strong communication channel to scientists, policy makers and implementers, water professionals and the public.
This document discusses social media use among older populations. It notes that while only 22% of those aged 65+ used the internet in 2004, that number grew to 50% by 2012. Barriers to social media adoption among older groups include physical/digital accessibility issues, privacy/security concerns, and cultural norms discouraging oversharing. However, as with other groups, older individuals vary in their interests and technology embrace. Looking ahead, a "rolling wave" effect is expected as younger generations age into the role of older adults online.
Technology has had a major impact on education by allowing access to vast amounts of shared information and enabling distance learning. It also supports roles in universities, schools, and other education systems through tools like projectors and whiteboards. However, social media in particular has both positive and negative effects by helping people connect but also enabling inappropriate behavior and negative situations. New communication technologies beyond phones now allow video chatting on computers and laptops. Healthcare has benefited from new information available online but must be carefully researched, as some seek to take advantage of those without knowledge. Relationships are also impacted as online dating sites help people meet but also enable deception.

This document summarizes a community-based participatory research program called gAWAKE that empowers adolescent girls in Kenya to become change agents in their communities. The program was developed through a collaboration between the organizations "Lean on Me" in Kenya and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. It is a 12-week curriculum adapted from an existing program that guides girls through implementing a community project focused on children's health. The document outlines the program structure and modules, previous projects conducted by similar programs, and the current collaboration between sites in Kenya and the United States.
The aim of the project is developing a dynamic website
exploring how the tools and the information that supports communication between the people with dementia and their caregivers can be provided to improve the overall quality of support.
Rich media and web apps for people with learning disabilitiesAntonia Hyde
The document discusses how rich media and web applications can be made more accessible and beneficial for people with learning disabilities. It notes that while progress has been made, more work is still needed to fully include this group online. Specifically, it recommends focusing on layout, order, clarity, and user control to help people better access and understand content. Improving customization options could also increase independence and participation for those with learning disabilities. The presenter welcomes further discussion on making the web a more inclusive space.
Lee Aase of the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media gives a presentation on the effective use of social media in healthcare. He discusses Mayo Clinic's early adoption of social media beginning in 2005 with blogs and podcasts. Usage grew over time with the addition of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms. Aase notes that social media allows for more efficient sharing of information which can improve health outcomes. While some organizations block social media, Aase argues for an open access approach along with clear usage policies and education.

Is learning happening (and how) in virtual communities of practice?Louise Worsley
Innovation is occurring through open learning because the requirements of learning are changing, the number and types of solutions available through computer-mediated communication are growing rapidly, and these in turn are leading to a new learning paradigm. These changes impact upon our children’s education, adult learning, and the way we as groups, professional communities and organisations acquire and share knowledge.

The future is a cloud hosted retail store24Symbols
The document discusses the "Book as a Service" approach to retailing books in the future. Key aspects of this approach include:
1) Hosting books on the cloud to allow for multi-device synchronization, real-time learning and control, and mutable digital artifacts.
2) Enabling social reading features that break down walls between books, readers, and authors.
3) Aggregating content to serve as a hub for readers, publishers, and authors.
4) Providing API access to books hosted on the cloud.
The Ministry of Basic Education (MINEDUB) ordered a diagnostic study on the organization and functioning of collegeswithin the framework of the G.T.T.C. reform process. The study carried out by Mrs. Marguerite Altet, a CIEP (French Centre for Educational Research) expert, and published in 2011, highlights numerous pedagogic gaps, namely:
- The absence of a sound curriculum, given that syllabuses are presented as a list of contents with 26 disciplines;
- The one-year course duration for GCE A/Lstudent-teachers is inadequate;
- The heterogeneous academic entry qualification of student-teachersleads to some shortcomings on
the part ofGCE O/L student-teachers at the end of the course;
- The lack of a synchronized programming of pedagogic activities (practicum and evaluation);
- An inadequate training as concernsthe different pedagogic reforms implemented in Basic Education.
From this crucial diagnosis confirmed by MINESEC officials, the Minister of Secondary Education with a view to improve on the quality of teachertraining for our basic educational system, decided to draw up new T.T.C.curricula taking into account the political vision advocated by the Head of State.
2. Characteristics of the curricula reviewed following the Competence-Based Approach
The new T.T.C. curriculum is drawn up following the Competence-Based Approach(CBA)in respect to the methodological requirements of the development of a curriculum. The process started with the writing of a Teacher‟s Referential of Professional Activities with the collaboration of field experts; this enabled designers to identify basic professional competences to be developed during the initial training of a teacher. The basic professional competences were presented in a Referential of Competences used by the editorial team as supporting document to draw up the current curriculum.
Therefore, this document remains a multidisciplinary curriculum which lays emphasis on common abilities otherwise referred to as “cross abilities” while integrating various practical aspects (simulation, practicum, various practical activities, case studies etc.)
The new T.T.C. curricula target the five domains of the contents taken from the former syllabuses. These domains are:
-Bilingual training;
-Didactics of Primary and Nursery school activities;
-Sciences of Education;
-Educational Technologies;
-Reinforced alternated practicum(teaching practice…)
The training content is the same for the three levels but its dosage takesinto consideration the entry qualification of student-teachers.
The panel discussion focused on 6 common themes from the previous day's presentations:
1. Developing statewide datasets like tax parcels, which received the most votes as the top priority. Participants discussed challenges in funding, standards, and ongoing maintenance.
2. Branding, demonstrating return on investment, and sharing success stories, such as through a new WLIA website. Developing templates and guidelines could help members promote their work.

This document provides a summary of key Christian concepts related to works and salvation. It discusses several Bible passages and argues that salvation is by God's grace through faith alone, not by works. The key points are:
1) Salvation is 100% dependent on God's grace and 0% on our good works. We are not justified by observing the law but by faith alone.
2) Good works do not earn salvation, which is a free gift from God. If we pursue salvation through works, we lose God's gift.
3) When we come to faith, the Holy Spirit changes our attitude so that we now hate sin and are eager to do God's will.
4) As Christians
God wants me to examine myself to see if I believe that Jesus' body and blood are truly present in the bread and wine of communion. Some times we can examine ourselves before communion include:
- During private prayer and devotion before coming to church
- During the confession and absolution part of the service
- While singing hymns about communion during the distribution
- As I'm waiting in line to receive communion
Taking these opportunities to reflect on my faith in Christ's real presence and forgiveness can help me properly receive his gifts.

The document discusses themes and ideas for advancing women's sports over the next 40 years. It notes some achievements since Title IX, but that women's sports still lag far behind men's in areas like media coverage, salaries, and search popularity. It argues the key is spurring more passionate female fandom through storytelling that helps fans feel like they know the athletes as people. Telling athletes' life stories and backgrounds could engage more women fans in the same way celebrity magazines do. Harnessing star power and compelling personalities that stimulate attention and discussion will also be important to growing interest in women's sports.
This document provides recommendations for a Telecom Equipment Manufacturing Policy in India.

Knowledge management involves managing the ability to make decisions based on experience for organizational goals. It is an evolving discipline that some consider an oxymoron since knowledge cannot truly be managed, only the processes and environments related to knowledge. Knowledge involves both the experiences of individuals and their ability to make relevant decisions. While explicit knowledge involving plans and best practices can be captured and documented, tacit knowledge resides only in people's minds and is more difficult to manage directly. An effective knowledge management strategy must account for both the object view of capturing explicit knowledge and the process view of cultivating environments for sharing tacit knowledge.
Change, communication and collaborationThom Kearney
This document summarizes a presentation about adapting to change through communication, collaboration, and self-awareness. It discusses how change is constant, can be threatening, and is ultimately about people. It provides seven strategies for adapting to change: be self-aware, focus on areas of influence, create balance, remember your values, be flexible, continuously improve, and be curious. The presentation also covers effective communication techniques like listening without judgment and having a dialogue. It explores different types of collaboration and how to foster a collaborative culture. The goal is to help attendees apply the lessons by building a spaceship together and reflecting on how they can enact change.
This document outlines 9 concepts for conference etiquette. It encourages tolerating differences, embracing diversity, accepting that change and failure are natural parts of progress, sharing thoughts and ideas clearly while maintaining an open mind, staying curious, having fun, and taking opportunities to network and learn from others.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Editor's Notes
GCP
One dayThe planets alignedSome special people came togetherAnd history was made
I had a question but did not know who specifically to ask. The people that answered all work in science in the GOC. One is an actual scientist and the others are library and data types. For this to work several conditions need to be met. The people need to be there. My timing was fortunate in this instance. Also there are enough people that follow me and the hashtags I used. There needs to be a relationship. I have met and chatted with 2 of the 3 who responded. Maybe even Chris, he would know me by reputation likely. These people all know that I answer questions and contribute on a regular basis.
