The document summarizes an NHS advertising assignment completed by the author and a partner. They were given the brief "Right Treatment, Right Place" and divided it into three parts - self care, professional care, and A&E. Due to members leaving the group, they focused on self care and A&E in videos and professional care in photos. The author edited the materials together and added text to explain each part. While they met the deadline, complications with group members meant they didn't spend as much time planning and filming as hoped, affecting the final product quality. Lessons learned included starting earlier and ensuring dependable group members.
The document introduces the VA Center for Innovation (VACI) and its guiding philosophy of small, targeted investments in a discovery-driven and non-competitive process to help startups in the large VA system. It describes VACI's strategic approach to top-down, larger scale initiatives versus its grassroots support for yearly idea competitions involving community input. The innovation life cycle at VA progresses from ideas to prototypes to different levels of implementation across local facilities, regions, or nationally. Projects must define their scope upfront as there is no single process, and challenges include spreading innovations throughout VA and ensuring test environments and data for developers.

Digital Science: Reproducibility and Visibility in AstronomyJose Enrique Ruiz
The science done in Astronomy is digital science, from observing proposals to final publication, to data and software used: each of the elements and actions involved in scientific output could be recorded in electronic form. This fact does not prevent the final outcome of an experiment is still difficult to reproduce. This procedure can be long, tedious, not easily accessible or understandable, even to the author. At the same time, we have a rich infrastructure of files, observational data and publications. This could be used more efficiently if we reach greater visibility of the scientific production, which avoids duplication of effort and reinvention.
Reproducibility is a cornerstone in scientific method, and extraction of relevant information in the current and future data flood is key in Astronomy. The AMIGA group (Analysis of the interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies, IAA-CSIC, http://amiga.iaa.es) faces these two challenges in the European project "Wf4Ever: Advanced technologies for enhanced preservation workflow Science" to enable the preservation of the methodology in scalable semantic repositories to facilitate their discovery, access, inspection, exploitation and distribution. These repositories store the experiments on "Research Objects" whose main constituents are digital scientific workflows. These provide a comprehensive view and clear scientific interpretation of the experiment as well as the automation of the method, going beyond the usual pipelines that normally end up in data processing.
The quantitative leap in volume and complexity of the next generation of archives will need analysis and data mining tasks to live closer to the data, in computing and distributed storage environments, but they should also be modular enough to allow customization from scientists and be easily accessible to foster their dissemination among the community. Astronomy is a collaborative science, but it has also become highly specialized, as many other disciplines. Sharing, preservation, discovery and a much simplified access to resources in the composition of scientific workflows will enable astronomers to greatly benefit from each other’s highly specialized knowhow, they constitute a way to push Astronomy to share and publish not only results and data, but also processes and methodologies.
We will show how the use of scientific workflows can help to improve the reproducibility of the experiment and a more efficient exploitation of astronomical archives, as well as the visibility of the scientific methodology and its reuse.

Manifiesto general del bloque combativo y clase. Unificar las luchas hasta la...Ensenyament
Este documento hace un llamado a unificar las luchas hacia una huelga general. Pide que los sindicatos luchen por los derechos de los trabajadores y se solidaricen con los movimientos sociales. También defiende los servicios públicos como conquistas de la clase obrera. Finalmente, propone trabajar conjuntamente para construir una huelga general real desde abajo y al margen del sindicalismo oficial.

1. Nota de premsa 12/09/2012
Els docents omplen la Plaça Sant Jaume durant la part inicial de la
primera jornada de vaga a l'Ensenyament Públic convocada per la
Coordinadora d'Interzones. Aquesta tarda i vespre, les mobilitzacions
continuen.
Dimecres 12 de setembre, continua la primera jornada de vaga a l'Ensenyament Públic
convocada per la Coordinadora d'Interzones a Catalunya. En aquest primer dia, estan
convocats els centres de primària i de secundària que tenen fixat el dia 12 de setembre
com a primer dia lectiu.
Les mobilitzacions del matí han culminat en una concentració a Plaça Sant Jaume i una
manifestació fins el Parlament.
A les 12h ha començat la concentració de docents a Plaça Sant Jaume, amb l’arribada de
docents en vaga i dels diferents grups de piquets informatius arribats des de diferents
parts de Barcelona i comarques. S’han fet pancartes amb els noms dels diferents centres
educatius presents a la concentració i s’ha llegit el llistat d’AMPES i associacions
culturals i de treballadors que han donat suport a aquesta vaga (es pot consultar al bloc
de Coordinadora Interzones http://interzonesdocent.blogspot.com.es/).
A les 13h ha començat la manifestació que ha sortit de Plaça Sant Jaume fins el
Parlament, baixant per Via Laietana. Durant el trajecte s’ha representat la mort de
l’Escola Pública amb el llençament d’una traca mentre els docents anaven estirant-se al
terra. En arribar al Parlament, s’ha llegit el manifest de la Coordinadora Interzones i
s’ha donat per acabada la manifestació i mobilitzacions matinals.
Avui dia 12 de setembre a les 21h hi ha convocada una concentració nocturna a la Plaça
Sant Jaume (Barcelona) on es realitzarà l'acte de transferència del testimoni als docents
que comencen la vaga del dia 13 de setembre (secundària).
A Tarragona la concentració tindrà lloc davant dels Serveis Territorials (Carrer de Sant
Francesc, 7, Tarragona) a les 18h.
Demà dia 13 de setembre estan convocats a la vaga tots els centres de secundària de
Catalunya que tenen fixat aquest dia com a primer dia lectiu. Pel dia 13 hi a convocada
una concentració a les 18h davant la seu del Departament d’Ensenyament a Via Augusta
(Barcelona).
2. Amb aquestes jornades de vagues i mobilitzacions, la Coordinadora d’Interzones es
planteja tres objectius principals per tal de poder retornar als centres públics la
qualitat, els recursos i els docents necessaris per afrontar amb garanties d’èxit
l’educació de les futures generacions:
a- No a l’acomiadament del professorat interí (amb tot el que això comporta:
precarització de la feina docent; modificació de l’horari lectiu i de permanència;
augment de les ràtios i pèrdues de grups; desatenció a la diversitat...).
b- Cobertura de les substitucions des del primer dia amb el cobrament del 100% del sou,
en comptes de la cobertura parcial de les mateixes a partir del desè dia, tal i com ha
establert el Departament d’Ensenyament.
c- Establiment d’un calendari de negociacions de la resta de retallades sofertes i
exigència d’un tracte digne a tota la comunitat educativa per part de l’Administració.
Si no són ateses les nostres peticions de diàleg, ens veurem obligats a mantenir el
calendari de vagues i mobilitzacions establert, que continuarà els propers dies 26 i 27 de
setembre. Aquestes jornades de vaga i mobilitzacions continuaran en forma de
vaga indefinida discontínua convocada mensualment. .
