Douglas Gordon uses cinematic images and video installations to challenge traditional relationships between viewers, time, and space. By slowing down and fragmenting films, Gordon disrupts linear narratives and stops viewers from being passive consumers of fixed meanings. Gordon aims to create an "in-between" discursive space where viewers actively engage in redefining the work's significance within the space and duration of their reflection. This questioning of unifying concepts of time and space transforms viewers from spectators into participants in the artistic experience.

1) Amino acids can be converted into specialized nitrogen-containing compounds like porphyrins, neurotransmitters, hormones, purines and pyrimidines.
2) Porphyrins are cyclic molecules that readily bind metal ions like iron. The most common metalloporphyrin in humans is heme, which is essential for hemoglobin and other hemeproteins.
3) Heme is synthesized through a multi-step pathway starting with the condensation of glycine and succinyl-CoA to form delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in the liver and bone marrow. Defects in this pathway result in the rare inherited disorder known as porphyria.

Photometry techniques like colorimetry, spectrophotometry, and turbidometry measure the intensity of light absorbed or transmitted by a solution. Colorimeters contain a light source, monochromators/filters to select wavelengths, a sample holder (cuvette), photodetectors, and readout devices. The amount of light absorbed follows Beer's and Lambert's laws - absorption increases exponentially with concentration and path length. A colorimeter is used to quantify compounds in biological samples like blood and urine by measuring absorbance and relating it to a standard curve using the Beer-Lambert law. Colorimeters provide a simple and inexpensive way to perform quantitative analysis of colored compounds.

Summary from the very first Capital C event held at Impact Hub Kings Cross on Saturday 29th November.
Capital C is a collaboration to improve cancer care for the people of London hosted by Macmillan Cancer Support and Swarm. The goal for the group is to put patient's voice at the heart of a long-term strategy to improve patient experience in London.
"putting patients at the heart": the workforce implicationsJeremy Taylor
Slides I presented at the NHS Employers autumn workforce summit on 13 October 2015. They set out National Voices' perspective on what good person centred, community-focussed care looks like, and the implications for the healthcare workforce of making it real.
Fellowship aims to create a modern support group model that addresses isolation and mental health issues. The organization would provide various types of in-person and online support groups across many topics. Fellowship recognizes that existing support groups are often outdated, stigmatized, and difficult to access. The vision is for Fellowship to offer accessible, welcoming communities both online and offline where members can openly discuss challenges, find empathy from others, and support one another in coping and personal growth.

The document discusses light touch volunteering, which aims to engage volunteers with limited supervision and commitment. It defines light touch volunteering as quick and easy engagement with empowered volunteers in short or long term opportunities. The pros are that it is time and cost effective, flexible, self-sustaining, and scalable, while the cons are less control, financial and reputational risks, and safeguarding issues. Case studies from Leonard Cheshire Disability and Diabetes UK show how they implemented light touch volunteering successfully through streamlined processes and flexible roles.
The document summarizes how to effectively advocate for mental health and addiction policy issues by connecting with policy makers. It outlines that the Mental Health & Addiction Advocacy Coalition (MHAC) is a statewide organization that aims to advance policies helping those with mental illnesses and addiction disorders. The MHAC works to improve access to services through state and local policy changes. It provides tips on identifying issues and officials to target, conducting meetings with officials, and establishing ongoing relationships.
ACCE 2013 Chamber Talk - Engage Your Volunteers - Mike BrazierMike Brazier
This document provides guidance on how to effectively engage volunteers. It recommends defining the volunteer program by deciding its goals, choosing volunteer leadership from across the program to help shape it while maintaining control, and ensuring the program provides value by focusing on the volunteers' needs and promoting the benefits they receive. The document also stresses the importance of retention by using volunteers to convey the chamber's positive impact and embed that message at every meeting, and suggests using an engaged volunteer base to implement membership drives.

A Perfect Storm for Population Health - Teaching PreventionPractical Playbook
This document provides an overview of a workshop on population health and community engagement. The workshop uses a case study approach to teach skills for improving population health outcomes. Participants work through the case study in small groups, taking on roles of different stakeholders to understand their perspectives. The goal is for participants to explore collaborative, community-based approaches to address complex health issues like obesity. The workshop guides participants through eight steps, including defining the problem, gathering allies, creating a vision statement, and developing and communicating a strategy. Feedback is solicited on how the case study approach and materials could support training healthcare professionals to work across sectors in transforming health systems.

Key #1: Define your community; this will define who needs to
be in your coalition
• At The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, our clients
determine our community
• Who/What organizations should be involved given that…
• 43% of our clients are working poor?
• 27% of our clients are SNAP recipients or are SNAP eligible?
• 40% of our clients are children?
• What organizations did we name multiple times?
• These are the core of our coalition members

Challenge #1: Too many cooks spoil the soup
• If too many organizations/people are involved in the coalition, at least
initially, it will not be as effective as possible

moment, we would limit our coalition to SNAP & SNAP Centered
Organizations
• Allows for very specific networking
• Interfaith networking event
• Organizational networking event
• SNAP Volunteer Fair
• Keeps our discussion focused on current issues and challenges
• Policy/Procedural Changes
• Funding cutbacks/changes

Challenge #4: Losing the long term focus
• Best way to avoid this: mix in short term success with long term goals
• Ex.: The Community Food Bank decided that, for our first challenge, to work
with farmers markets
• Where are they?
• When are they?
• Which ones use SNAP?
• Coalitions are used to institute long term, cultural change
• This means that we won’t see the results of our work in the near future; we
will, however, see the results in generational, attitude changes
• Be upfront with your coalition members about this fact
• Their reaction to this gauges their commitment

Although integrating all sectors of the community is laudable, it’s also a far reaching endeavor. Getting people to the table who actually need to be there is challenging enough without adding extraneous individuals.
How many of you were/are in sales? Who’s heard of the saying “People don’t buy things; they buy benefits?” Same thing here!
Be educated on your coalition! You can’t educate, excite or recruit if you don’t know what you’re trying to accomplish. What is the long range goal here? What does success look like? Why is this partnership critical to the success of your coalition? What unique talents are these partners bringing to the table that no one else can?
Be excited about your coalition! Remember, you are selling yourself first, the coalition and the network 2nd. If you’re not excited about your work, why should anyone else be?
When writing your survey, get your coalition's input. For example, some organizations require higher-level authorization before releasing data. If that’s the case, the coalition members can tell you directly what data can and can’t be made available. Don’t argue this point; if your coalition member decides, for whatever reason, to withhold certain information, indicate on the survey analysis “Data Not Available.”
After your initial survey, keep submitting surveys to your coalition to determine satisfaction. What works in the meetings? What doesn’t? What needs to change somehow? Use your surveys to determine the effectiveness of your work. This does not mean, necessarily, that a dissatisfied coalition indicates no progress whatsoever; the fact is, coalition building is a mysterious concept, and people simply may not know what to compare their experiences to. Thus, by default, they may negatively rate an experience that is, in fact, positive.
Looking around the room at the different topics that our coalition has chosen, why do you think we chose them?
Common issues—DES Communique sheet; SNAP
Long term, partnership issues—Allows for evolving, ongoing conversation. We’re establishing relationships, remember!
Remember: Your non profit both predates and postdates you. This work has to go on without you.
Loma: Was a very proactive volunteer, donor, etc at my previous VISTA site. But because her ideas didn’t fit into the core mission of the site, she was seen as “extra,” which meant that her ideas and hopes were not included in the direction the site was headed. As a result, she felt unvalued, and stopped coming to board meetings. She also actively discouraged people from donating and volunteering at my previous VISTA site.
A few words about these specific events:
We are not inviting the public
We are specifically and personally inviting specific people—ex: churches for an interfaith networking event; retired professionals for a SNAP Volunteer fair
Everyone comes from their coalition member—i.e., ministers who are members of Interfaith Community Services
When creating the “house rules,” ask your coalition members what rules THEY are willing to abide by. For example, everyone agreed that timeliness was something important; therefore, THEY are committing to being on time.
Taking minutes holds everyone accountable for the coalition success: because we are working to achieve cultural change, we need to make sure everyone is clear on what is and isn’t correct. So, for example, if we agree that we will hold an annual workshop on SNAP and SNAP volunteerism, we need to have a record of why we felt the way we did. That way, down the road, we can gauge its effectiveness.
Nancy Spear was a significant donor and volunteer at The Amado Youth Center. As such, she expected a level of respect and deference that was not necessarily her privilege. As a result, she bullied, verbally abused, and intimidated staff, then running to our supervisor and insisting we were “uncooperative” and “uncommitted” to the project. When Nancy tried to pull the plug on MY project, I took my supervisor aside and told her the type of things Nancy was doing not just to me but to the other staff. When my supervisor found out this was true, she informed Nancy that, at the end of the year, there “would be a shift in programming focus,” which would mean that her work would either change or be cancelled. Nancy elected to let someone else do the programming.
United Community Health Cooperative was not on board with this. SNAP was not their primary focus; healthcare for the poor was. When they found out that we would not be able to remove the stigma of poverty within a 12 month span, they were uninterested in working with us.
