The Winnipeg Humane Society helped over 8,000 animals in 2011. They found homes for 3,531 pets through adoptions and satellite locations. They assisted with evacuating 57 dogs from flooded Lake St. Martin and helped most find homes quickly. The humane society engaged the community through education programs, advocacy efforts, social media presence, and various fundraising events that raised over $500,000. They thanked everyone who supported their mission to help animals in need.

Lorraine Mabusela founded the Tumelo Hospice Centre in Mabopane to care for sick and destitute people rejected by society, including 62 HIV-positive patients. After resigning her job in 2004 to help the sick, she tended to people wherever she could since her home was too small. She was later given an old building to convert into a hospice. The hospice now has 26 caregivers providing hope, love, and care so patients can die with dignity.
The San Francisco SPCA runs various programs to care for animals, including a veterinary hospital, adoption center, low-cost spay/neuter clinic, and humane education programs. Their Vision 2020 plan aims to end animal abandonment through prevention of overpopulation, rescuing all adoptable animals, and education. A key part is their Community Cares Initiative targeting neighborhoods with high animal intake, including a Community Cats Program doing Trap-Neuter-Return for feral cats, free mobile vaccines and spay/neuter transportation. Data shows their spay/neuter programs reduced shelter intake by 12% in one year and today only 31% of shelter cats are strays or infants.

The document discusses the purpose and intended audience of a teaser trailer for a film. The teaser trailer aims to pique the curiosity of its target audience - mainly active younger people aged 15-25 - and make them want to learn more by seeing the full film. It does this by showing a girl being followed over a mysterious package without providing full context, hoping to generate interpretive questions and theories among viewers. Feedback found the teaser achieved this goal by sparking audience interest in the plot details.
The media product uses and develops conventions of real teaser trailers and posters. The teaser trailer uses fast-paced editing with brief shots that cut abruptly and follow the nonlinear chronological style of action thrillers. While it contains less dialogue than some due to voice issues, the music incorporates layers and bangs that work well. Both the teaser trailer and poster employ close-up character images and draw from colors/textures of their genres' real examples to adhere to common conventions.
Dr. Gemma Lace-Costigan conducted a study to develop a digital lab guide (DLG) containing preparatory learning resources to increase student confidence in lab classes. She assessed 80 biomedical science students' confidence and preparation methods before and after providing directed access to the DLG prior to classes. Student feedback was used to refine the DLG, focusing on choice, control and learning styles. The study aimed to promote independent and responsible learning through computer-assisted resources boosting confidence in an intimidating lab environment with unfamiliar equipment and skills.

This document discusses best practices for volunteer recruitment and retention in social care organizations. It provides guidance on ensuring volunteers have clear information and training, feel supported, and are given meaningful roles that match their interests. The challenges of working with volunteers who have learning disabilities are also examined, such as needing visual communication tools and breaking tasks into small, explicit steps. When done inclusively and with support, organizations benefit from reliable volunteers who improve the workplace culture and demonstrate a commitment to diversity.
The document outlines a graduate level financial management course offered at Haifa University from December 12, 2007 to February 8, 2008. The course will be taught by Prof. Yossi Yagil and cover topics such as capital budgeting, corporate securities, risk and return, leverage, and the cost of capital. Students will complete assignments and a valuation project, and the final grade will be based on class participation, assignments, the project, and a final exam. The required textbook is Corporate Finance by Brealey, Myers, and Allen.
This document summarizes recent UK policy changes and their implications for volunteering and the voluntary sector. Key policies discussed include the Big Society initiative, the Localism Act of 2011, and the Health and Social Care Act of 2012. These policies aim to decentralize decision making and encourage community involvement in public services. They also create opportunities for voluntary organizations to deliver services and take over community assets. However, the sector also faces challenges from funding cuts and an increased business focus required to win contracts under the new system.
This document discusses community health champions, which are volunteers trained to promote health and well-being in their communities. It describes two programs - Altogether Better in Yorkshire, which established 13,000-70,000 champions, and Aneurin Bevan Health Board in Gwent, which trained 150 champions. Both programs saw positive outcomes such as empowerment and improved quality of life, though they faced challenges around funding and retention. The document advocates for community health champions as a way to address health inequalities through peer-to-peer support and motivation.
This document discusses recognition and management of volunteers in social care. It notes that being valued is most important for volunteer satisfaction and retention, rather than formal accreditation alone. Volunteers come from various backgrounds and have different motivations. There are over 100 volunteer roles in health and social care. The document also provides case studies of organizations that effectively recognize and manage volunteers.
This document discusses the use of narrative in teaser trailers. It explains that the teaser trailer uses montage editing and non-linear storytelling to fit more content into a short time and make the trailer more intriguing. It aims to create a restricted narrative that leaves things unknown to entice viewers to watch the full movie. The document also discusses theories on how plot differs from story in presenting events explicitly versus implicitly, and how enigmas can control audience thought by presenting puzzles to solve. In conclusion, narrative is important for both full films and teaser trailers to give meaning and engage audiences.
An estimated 12.7 million new cancer cases were diagnosed worldwide in 2008, with lung, female breast, colorectal and stomach cancers accounting for more than 40% of cases.

Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
