UNESCO Global Geoparks are single unified geographical areas and landscapes of international geological significance are managed with a holistic concept of protection, education and sustainable development. These designated areas give local people and communities a sense of pride in their region and strengthen their identification with the area. The creation of innovative local enterprises, new jobs and high quality training courses is stimulated as new sources or revenue are generated through geotourism.
With UNESCO formally creating the Global Global Geoparks program in November 2015, the Global Geoparks Network 2016 conference held in the UK in September afforded the first opportunity to discuss new protocols and key issues for UNESCO Global Geopark nomination. This conference also afforded the opportunity for representatives of Ecotourism Australia's Geotourism Forum to attend given that Australia is now progressing two Pre-Aspiring UNESCO Global Geoparks.
The Geotourism Forum representatives were able to learn from both the experience of existing UNESCO Global Geoparks and other pre-aspiring and aspiring nominations from other countries such as the UK, Canada and the USA. In particular, insights were gleaned about timeframes necessary to develop successful nominations, the imperative of community engagement as well as the emerging issue of geoparks been seen to contributing towards community health and wellbeing.
Given that geopark development in Australia is now being considered as a valuable mechanism to drive regional development, the presentation will address these issues and provide some highly relevant pointers for community groups and government agencies seeking to progress other nominated areas.

HERITAGE MANAGEMENT AND THE EMERGING CHALLENGES IN HERITAGE PRESERVATION IN I...Arnab Gantait
The document discusses heritage management and preservation challenges in the Indian context. It finds that while heritage management has recognized India's cultural significance, more needs to be done for preservation. Key challenges include lack of recognition, supervision and funding of heritage sites, as well as issues like encroachment, pollution, and improper management. Suggestions are made to strengthen awareness campaigns, lobbying efforts, and incentives to private owners to help overcome gaps and minimize challenges to better preserve India's cultural heritage.
Major Dhyan Chand Singh was a legendary Indian field hockey player who was born on 29 August 1905 in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. He won 3 Olympic gold medals for India in 1928, 1932 and 1936 and scored over 570 goals in his career. Dhyan Chand joined the Indian army at age 16 and served as a Major, retiring from the army. He was awarded the prestigious Padma Bhushan award in 1956 for his contributions to hockey. His birthday on 29 August is celebrated annually in India as National Sports Day to honor his achievements and contributions to the sport of hockey.
Paper chromatography is a technique used to separate colored chemicals or substances. It involves a stationary phase, usually a polar substance like water held in paper, and a mobile phase, generally a non-polar solvent mixture, that travels up the stationary phase through capillary action. Sample mixtures are spotted on the paper and separated as their components partition between the two phases based on differences in their affinity. Variations include ascending or descending based on solvent direction, and two-dimensional using two solvents rotated 90 degrees. The separation is analyzed by calculating Rf values, the ratio of compound travel distance to solvent front.
This document discusses infrared (IR) spectroscopy. It covers various topics such as sample handling techniques, factors affecting vibrations, instrumentation components, and applications. Specifically, it describes the four main types of sampling - solid, liquid, gas, and solution. It also explains how coupled vibrations, Fermi resonance, electronic effects, and hydrogen bonding can influence IR spectra. Common instrumentation components like sources of radiation, detectors, and applications like identification of functional groups and substances are summarized.
This document discusses the principles and instrumentation of fluorescence and phosphorescence. It explains that fluorescence involves excitation of a molecule from its ground state to a higher energy excited state followed by emission of light as it relaxes to the ground state. Phosphorescence also involves excitation to an excited state but relaxation occurs more slowly through intersystem crossing to an excited triplet state. The key components of a fluorimeter are described including excitation sources, filters to select excitation and emission wavelengths, sample holders, photomultiplier tubes to detect emitted light, and monochromators to isolate wavelengths. Applications of fluorimetry in various fields are also mentioned.
Chromatography is a laboratory technique used to separate mixtures into individual components. Column chromatography is a type of chromatography that uses a column filled with a solid stationary phase. As a liquid or gas mobile phase passes through the column carrying the sample mixture, the mixture's components separate as they travel through the column at different rates depending on how strongly they interact with the stationary phase. Column chromatography is commonly used to purify compounds by removing impurities based on differences in their adsorption to the stationary phase material in the column.

Empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the thoughts and emotions of others. An empathetic leadership style can increase productivity, morale and loyalty by making employees feel like a team. To be empathetic, one must like people, enjoy helping others, and value individuals. Personal qualities of empathetic individuals include a strong work ethic, dependability, a positive attitude, adaptability, honesty, self-motivation to grow, and self-confidence. Empathy plays an important role in the workplace by helping one understand coworkers and the challenges ahead.
This document discusses novel drug delivery systems (NDDS) as an advancement over conventional drug delivery systems (CDDS). NDDS aim to improve drug potency, provide sustained release, increase safety, and target delivery to specific tissues. Some key points:
- NDDS can deliver drugs that cannot be administered through non-invasive or invasive CDDS routes due to factors like size, charge, and susceptibility to degradation.
- NDDS provide controlled, modulated, or targeted release through various formulations and medical devices to maintain therapeutic drug levels over long periods with fewer side effects.
- Examples of NDDS include liposomes, nanoparticles, microspheres, and modulated delivery devices like nebulizers and metered dose in

The document discusses the importance of collaboration in the workplace. It defines collaboration as individuals working together to make unified decisions and achieve a common goal. Collaboration allows groups to leverage each member's unique skills and perspectives. It promotes problem-solving, inspires innovation, boosts learning, and increases employee satisfaction. The goal of workplace collaboration is to maximize success by fostering an open and communicative environment. When done effectively, collaboration can improve productivity and be a competitive advantage for organizations.
The document discusses contributors versus non-contributors and provides examples of each. It describes how contributors fully commit themselves to projects, are deeply interested in their work, and strive for high quality. In contrast, non-contributors only do the bare minimum and are not concerned about the quality of their work. It then provides two case stories as examples of emotional engagement and personal commitment: the story of Dashrath Manjhi who single-handedly carved a path through mountains over 22 years, and the story of the Brooklyn Bridge being built despite the injuries of its chief engineer, Washington Roebling, who used a tapping code to direct construction.
