What Issues Are Being Targeted by the Global Citizen Movement? John Coombs
Global Citizen is using a mix of content and events, grassroots organising and its action platform to build a movement to defeat poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity for all.
Even it up: Time to end extreme inequalityOxfam Brasil
From Ghana to Germany, South Africa to Spain, the gap between rich and poor is rapidly increasing, and economic inequality has reached extreme levels. In South Africa, inequality is greater today than at the end of Apartheid.
The consequences are corrosive for everyone. Extreme inequality corrupts politics, hinders economic growth and stifles social mobility. It fuels crime and even violent conflict. It squanders talent, thwarts potential and undermines the foundations of society.
Crucially, the rapid rise of extreme economic inequality is standing in the way of eliminating global poverty. Today, hundreds of millions of people are living without access to clean drinking water and without enough food to feed their families; many are working themselves into the ground just to get by. We can only improve life for the majority if we tackle the extreme concentration of wealth and power in the hands of elites.
Oxfam’s decades of experience in the world’s poorest communities have taught us that poverty and inequality are not inevitable or accidental, but the result of deliberate policy choices. Inequality can be reversed. The world needs concerted action to build a fairer economic and political system that values everyone. The rules and systems that have led to today’s inequality explosion must change. Urgent action is needed to level the playing field by implementing policies that redistribute money and power from wealthy elites to the majority.
Using new research and examples, this report shows the scale of the problem of extreme economic inequality, and reveals the multiple dangers it poses to people everywhere. It identifies the two powerful driving forces that have led to the rapid rise in inequality in so many countries: market fundamentalism and the capture of politics by elites. The report then highlights some of the concrete steps that can be taken to tackle this threat, and presents evidence that change can happen.
Extreme economic inequality has exploded across the world in the last 30 years, making it one of the biggest economic, social and political challenges of our time. Age-old inequalities on the basis of gender, caste, race and religion – injustices in themselves – are exacerbated by the growing gap between the haves and the have-nots.
As Oxfam launches the Even It Up campaign worldwide, we join a diverse groundswell of voices, including billionaires, faith leaders and the heads of institutions, such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, as well as trade unions, social movements, women’s organizations and millions of ordinary people across the globe. Together we are demanding that leaders around the world take action to tackle extreme inequality before it is too late.
The past decade has been marked by increased public awareness of the mistreatment of older persons both in Canada and worldwide. Achievements have been marked by innovation and creativity, policy and program development and legislation. The Community Guide to Raise
World Awareness on Adult Abuse was a initial step to assist communities develop prevention plans.
It is now the 5th anniversary since the launch of the initial guide and many new initiatives have taken place across the globe in recognition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Given the increased availability of elder abuse resources internationally it was determined that the guide could be enhanced with the inclusion of new and additional material. We are grateful to the Department of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) who have generously provided the financial resources to undertake the revision of the guide. With this support a draft revision is now available for review and comment by those in the field of elder abuse prevention. The Canadian government has long been a forerunner in the global prevention of elder mistreatment and is recognized as a leader in the field.
The revision of this guide together with the development of a companion document, “Teen Elder Abuse Awareness Kit” which has been funded through the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) reinforces the Canadian Government‟s commitment to increasing elder abuse awareness globally. Together these two resources will be a powerful contribution and resource for any organization or person interested in minimising the
instances of elder abuse.
We also acknowledge with thanks the original authors of the guide; Charmaine Spencer, Elizabeth Podnieks, Susan Somers, and other members of the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse
(INPEA) and the Canadian Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (CNPEA). We are building on the earlier work and look forward to a completed document that reflects the enormous progress made in the last five years. Appreciation is also extended to International Federation on Ageing (IFA) for joining this exciting venture.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
