90 minute session delivered to parents and guardians at Friends Academy in North Dartmouth, MA. How do we learn about our various group identities like female, African American, Buddhist, homosexual, middle class, etc.? From whom do we learn the meaning of these terms? What messages have we internalized about ourselves and others? What are the differences that result in one person having a healthy self identity and another person experiencing own-group shame and hatred? Learn how we can co-author the identity development of youth to progress toward positive success for all. This presentation has a special focus on adolescent and brain development.

Sentinel Landscapes and Component 3: links in the CRP6CIFOR-ICRAF
Component 3 of the CGIAR Research Programme on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (CRP6) focuses on landscape management for environmental services (ES), biodiversity conservation and livelihoods. This presentation explores the links between the various themes of CRP6 Component 3 and the cross-cutting CRP6 research theme of sentinel landscapes. How these links fit into a broader context of the CGIAR’s strategic results framework is also discussed.
This presentation formed part of the CRP6 Sentinel Landscape planning workshop held on 30 September – 1 October 2011 at CIFOR’s headquarters in Bogor, Indonesia. Further information on CRP6 and Sentinel Landscapes can be accessed from http://www.cifor.org/crp6/ and http://www.cifor.org/fileadmin/subsites/crp/CRP6-Sentinel-Landscape-workplan_2011-2014.pdf respectively.
It emphasizes the extensive coverage of mountains worldwide, their rich biodiversity, and their importance to both local and global populations for resources such as water, energy, and timber. The presentation outlines the economic, scientific, and cultural values of wildlife in these regions, highlighting the benefits like eco-tourism and medicinal resources derived from mountain forests.
Additionally, it discusses the essential ecosystem services provided by mountain forests, including carbon sequestration, water regulation, and biodiversity conservation. The threats to these ecosystems, such as climate change, deforestation, and pollution, are addressed along with potential solutions involving sustainable management practices, community engagement, and technological advancements in conservation efforts.
Overall, the presentation serves as an informative overview on the importance of mountain environments, the resources they provide, the challenges they face, and the strategies needed for their conservation and sustainable use.

This Thematic Paper is part of a Toolkit for Project Design (Livestock Thematic Papers: Tools for Project Design) which reflects IFAD’s commitment to developing a sustainable livestock sector in which poor farmers and herders might have higher incomes, and better access to assets, services, technologies and markets.
The paper indents to be a practical tool for development practitioners, project designers and policymakers to define appropriate livestock development interventions. It also provides recommendations on critical issues for rural development and also possible responses and actions to encourage the socio-economic empowerment of poor livestock keepers.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Topic 1. Exploring the Landscapes, livelihoods & lifestyles in the
North East region.
A number of key landscapes have been identified within the North East
region. By identifying values, aspirations, & characteristics of our region,
we have identified what people want to be resilient.
To date, five key landscapes have emerged through this approach.

These landscapes have particular characteristics, identities, functions, landscape

2. MAKING SENSE OF THE NORTH EAST CATCHMENT
An important component to applying resilience thinking is to
describe the relationship between people and their environment.
To help describe this relationship we have segmented the region
into landscapes & devised some simple descriptions of these
landscapes, or ‘social-ecological systems’

Biophysical Land, Transport,
Cultures, Political

The descriptions have identified the values, aspirations and characteristics of our

what people want to be resilient.
