The document discusses challenges facing museums in addressing controversial social and political issues. It notes that museums' traditional models of spectatorship and consumerism are rigid and unable to genuinely engage in participatory dialogue. While some argue museums should take a neutral stance, others believe they must go further in addressing issues like climate change and racial inequality. The document examines debates around whether museums should provoke difficult discussions or take an activist role in facilitating understanding between diverse viewpoints. It provides examples of projects aimed at creating intercultural dialogue and discusses skills like facilitation that can help museums navigate controversial issues.

The document discusses various tools and methods used by the National Weather Service (NWS) to provide weather situational awareness and emergency communications, including through social media. It describes communication platforms like NWSChat, Twitter, Facebook, and mobile apps that allow two-way information sharing. It emphasizes using social media to have a "transactional" relationship with the public, where information is confirmed from multiple sources before taking protective action. The NWS is experimenting with social media to better engage the public and emergency managers in weather discussions and decision-making.
This document summarizes Vermont's approach to using data-driven decision making to support Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) in schools. It provides an overview of the PBIS implementation in Vermont, describing the various state agencies and organizations involved in supporting schools. It also describes the tiered system of support for schools, including the data tools and resources available at each level to facilitate data-driven problem solving. Data is shown on the growth of PBIS implementation in Vermont schools over time, as well as outcomes like decreased office discipline referrals and time out of school/class. The role of data analysis to support decision making is emphasized.
This document discusses prevention and response strategies for businesses regarding terrorism and other threats. It emphasizes the importance of conducting vulnerability assessments, having security plans and training employees to recognize suspicious behaviors and activities. For bomb threats, the document advises gathering information, searching the premises and notifying police. For vehicle-borne IEDs, it recommends immediate evacuation and notifying police without attempting to move the vehicle. The response to an actual bombing is to evacuate, notify emergency services, secure the area and follow police instructions.
Naturalis is a natural history museum and research institution located in Leiden, Netherlands. It has over 37 million specimens in its collection and welcomed 340,000 visitors last year. The museum is currently closed for renovations as it prepares to open a new 5,000 square meter building in 2018 housing 9 exhibition halls and 2 experiences. The temporary exhibitions focus on topics like the origins of life, dinosaurs, ice age mammals, the human body, and natural disasters. They showcase collections in various ways like using taxidermy, video projections, and interactive elements to engage visitors.

This document discusses the degradation of plastics over time. It examines research on the breakdown of various plastic materials, such as polyethylene bottles and polystyrene cups, when exposed to different environmental conditions like weather, sediment, and heat over periods of 2 years. The research found that plastic type and environment significantly impact degradation rates, with thermal aging causing faster breakdown than weather or water exposure. Most plastics showed chemical changes within 24 months, with polyurethane breaking down most quickly. Cigarette butts were also examined and found to degrade into paper and acetic acid. Understanding plastic degradation can help address the global pollution problem.
This document discusses sustainable transport and packaging materials for artworks. It summarizes the risks involved in transporting cultural heritage like vibration, climate changes, theft and accidents. It outlines preventative measures like planning, confidentiality, gloves, experienced handlers, adequate packaging, labeling, fastening, couriers, supervision and equipment to control temperature and humidity. It also notes the dilemma between requirements for transporting art versus sustainable solutions. Different transport methods like trucks, planes, ships and trains are discussed in terms of sustainability. Finally, it provides examples of sustainable packaging and transport approaches like reusable crates, flexible packaging systems and virtual couriering.
1. The document provides guidance on practicing integrated pest management (IPM) in a calm and reasonable manner. It advises focusing IPM efforts on key areas like sanitation, exclusion of pests, and monitoring, rather than trying to inspect and treat everything.
2. Effective monitoring of pest populations involves using traps, record keeping, and identifying problem areas. Traps should be placed strategically and checked regularly.
3. Proper inspection is the foundation of any IPM program. Inspections should be routine and involve looking for pests, signs of pests, and conditions that could attract pests. Focus inspection on vulnerable areas and artifacts.
