This document summarizes the work of Real Time Crisis, a charitable organization that provides mental health crisis intervention on social media. It describes how RTC was formed in response to high suicide rates on GO Transit lines. RTC trains volunteers to engage with at-risk individuals on social platforms, assess their risk, and respond appropriately by continuing digital communication, alerting emergency services, or de-escalating dangerous situations in real time. The presentation highlights actual cases where RTC volunteers located missing persons, prevented suicides, and connected individuals in crisis to ongoing support.

Confessions of a “Recovering” Data Broker: Responsible Innovation in the Age ...Jim Adler
It's been said that the human brain is comprised of 300 million pattern matchers fed with data from our five primary senses and memories. In this age of distributed computing and cheap storage in the cloud, "thinking" without a biological brain is possible for the first time in history. The sensory input into this new, extracorporeal brain is big data.
Global data supply chains carry exabytes of government, corporate, and social data powering breakthrough uses in medicine, transportation, communications, and energy. However, equally fantastic is the specter of abuses by powerful players to exploit private information, subtly discriminate, or mistakenly prosecute the innocent.
This talk discusses the current state of these data supply chains, where they are headed, and the societal implications for privacy, security, and liberty. And it calls technologists, business leaders, and humanists -- i.e., geeks, suits, and wonks -- to together resolve the tension between cultural values and fast-paced technology.

The Lincoln Police Department is a nationally accredited agency through the Commission on Accreditation
for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). In 1989, the Lincoln Police department was the first agency in the
State of Nebraska to be accredited. In an effort to track advancements in our department, the Lincoln
Police Department produced a five-year strategic plan. Our vision for the Lincoln Police Department is to
continually offer our community consistent, fair and professional services and our employees a progressive
and innovative workplace.
Captain Joy Citta and Sergeant Randy Clark were assigned in 2016 to create the department’s Strategic
Plan for 2017 through 2021. The plan encompasses four focus areas: Community Policing; Staffing &
Facilities; Technology; and Training. Committees for each area were formed and consisted of
commissioned and civilian personnel from LPD, representatives from local and state government as well as
students from University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The committees met for several months to discuss, research,
and create the Lincoln Police Department Strategic Plan.
The Lincoln Police Department is comprised of 328 commissioned and 144 civilian personnel. We continue
as a leader within the law enforcement community in the areas of technology and innovative problem
solving strategies. The Lincoln Police Department maintains a strong commitment to community and
intelligence-led policing.
The City of Lincoln continues to grow, not only in population but in square miles, and the Strategic Plan will
play a key role to ensure the Lincoln Police Department grows along with the community we serve.

I am proud to present the Lincoln Police Department’s latest
five year strategic plan. This publication is the result of input from
members of our community, government leaders, University of
Nebraska students and Lincoln Police employees. It is important
for our organization to hear the voices of our employees and
those we are sworn to serve.
I want to thank everyone committed to the development of this
plan for their dedication and willingness to create a pathway for
the future success of our department.
The Lincoln Police Department is accredited by The Commission
on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA). We take pride in
recognizing best police practices, striving for continuous
improvement, and building on accomplishments from our past.
This plan focuses on enhancing trust through community policing, building sustainable
infrastructure, effectively applying technology for efficiency in our practices, and providing
our employees with the latest relevant training.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

34. REAL TIME CRISIS GOALS
• Manage call for mental-health related calls with a social

police, education or social service.
• Looking to reduce 911 calls for service, policing hours and
visits to the emergency department
• Looking to save and improve lives by building trusted
relationships using technology.

35. WHY REAL TIME CRISIS?
Potential for assistance in:
•Mental health intervention
•Youth cyber bullying related matters
•Domestic violence
•Sexual assault
•Human trafficking
Some persons at risk are unable to call for
help but can use a smart phone and obtain a
connection and help silently.
36. WHY REAL TIME CRISIS?
Individuals who have received support from the
nurse and officer from Real Time Crisis continue to
reach out for help on social media post intervention
but direct their concerns to RTC in lieu of police
intervention.
•One female has reached out over 100 times,
police and ER were only needed 3 of those times.
A successful online intervention can prevent an
escalation that may potentially lead to an
emergency response that could result in injury for
the person at risk and the service provider.
42. NEXT STEP:
A goal of #RealTimeCrisis would be to keep
her engaged positively and to keep her out of
street life using social media tools.
She ended up calling her Mom and
going home the following day.
Social media appeal assisted with this.
