Upcoming Webinars

Ghana can learn from the North American market as it develops its own framework for how to take part in the trillion dollar global cryptocurrency industry. In Canada, regulated cryptocurrency dealing and brokering activities take place within the banking system. The value of this webinar will be to contribute to regulatory and legal options relevant in light of Ghana’s legal framework, and study what changes are needed in the future to ensure the country can fashion regulations consistent with global best practices. Ghana will chart its own course but it must be one that’s informed by the years of experience in other jurisdictions.

Introducing By the Numbers, a new webinar series presented by C3 Affiliate Member SpringBoard Data Management.

Join us January 31 at 3pm ET for a look back at the key trends from 2023.

Using his experience as an expert witness, CMSI and Proctor Institute President in Residence Walter Kimbrough will cover recent trends in hazing, including the differences between culturally based groups. This webinar will provide an overview of the history of hazing at higher education institutions, discuss how hazing manifests today, and describe the legal challenges facing individuals and organizations due to hazing.

Explore this webinar on a peptide ligand, called molecular guidance system 5 (MGS5), targeting N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc)-Sialyl LewisA in cancer, enhancing early detection and advancing liposome-based immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer. Glycosylation is a post-translation modification that is commonly altered in cancer, playing fundamental roles in cell signaling, cell migration and invasion, immune modulation and metastasis. Neu5Ac-Sialyl LewisA (CA19-9), part of the Lewis blood antigen family, is a well-studied blood biomarker that is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for the detection of pancreatic cancer. However, its counterpart, N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc)-Sialyl LewisA, is under study in human malignancies due to the inactivation of the cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) gene and the absence of Neu5Gc-Sialyl LewisA specific targeting molecules.

Target identification and validation studies showed MGS5 to be highly specific for the Neu5Gc version of Sialyl LewisA. Utilizing MGS5 for detection, Neu5Gc-Sialyl LewisA was found to be significantly expressed in numerous cancer tissues, such as breast, liver and pancreas, with minimal staining observed across normal tissue types. Neu5Gc-Sialyl LewisA also demonstrated the ability to be used as an early detection biomarker for pancreatic cancer. Tissue samples of low-grade or high-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) lesions displayed a 2-fold increase in the binding of the MGS5 peptide compared to normal healthy pancreas. Read Less... This webinar will discuss a liposome-based immunotherapy (“Targeted Antigen Loaded Liposomes” TALL) that consists of three modular components: 1) pegylated stealth phospholipid layer, 2) an encapsulated synthetic immunogenic MHC class I restricted peptide derived from the measles virus and 3) MGS5 on the external surface for tumor targeting. MGS5 binds to the surface of the cancer cells via Neu5Gc-Sialyl LewisA and is subsequently internalized allowing for the internalization of the liposome and the release of the encapsulated antigenic peptide. This in turn elicits a robust immune response. TALL, in combination with an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitor, results in a 10-fold reduction in tumor burden in mice bearing orthotopic breast and pancreatic tumors, compared to using anti-PD-1 alone. Join this webinar to learn not only how MGS5 is a novel peptide for the detection of Neu5Gc- Sialyl LewisA, but it can also serve as a therapeutically relevant cancer targeting agent allowing for the delivery of therapeutics.

In this popular program on “getting the most from your Outlook” for MS Outlook Users, Randy Dean, author of the former Amazon e-mail bestseller, Taming the E-mail Beast, shows how to expand your capabilities with the market-leading Microsoft Outlook e-mail and professional organization software. Randy delves into Outlook-specific strategies for many of the most common areas of productivity loss (and possible gain!) afflicting many busy professionals today: managing multiple projects & tasks; maintaining “traction” when dealing with tasks and interruptions; clearing the clutter in your mind for better focus; keeping staff on task; tracking “who owes you what” and getting that information on time; and better managing your calendar and contacts for better time and relationship management. Get more from all five of the key Outlook functions: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, E-mail, and Notes; for greater productivity, sanity, efficiency, and work-life balance. Key Learnings: • A basic understanding of key “bigger picture” time management principles – including your current active projects and life roles – and how they can be integrated into your MS Outlook software • Fully integrating your MS Outlook software into your time, project, people, and e-mail/info management systems, and getting the most usability and functionality out of your software, including: • Setting up your “Tasks” function for prioritized project/client action • Strategically managing your Calendar to increase personal and professional effectiveness • Utilizing the “Notes” function (and the related OneNote app) to help “clear your mind” by creating several highly useful lists for organizing the random clutter in your mind • Using “start of day”, “during the day”, weekly, and annual rituals to get your projects and people up front and top of mind Remember: I do something sort of unique in my sessions -- I actually open up live working versions of the software and do live demos! I will also take live Q&A during & after the session.

Join us on January 31, 2024 from 10:00 - 11:30 am PST for a webinar on strategies for accessing funding under EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Program, qualifying for funding, and getting involved in local climate action plans. This event is hosted by California Resource Recovery Association, Californians Against Waste, California Product Stewardship Council, and Zero Waste USA. The CPR Campaign is a joint effort of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Zero Waste USA, and the National Recycling Coalition to uplift waste reduction and materials conservation projects under the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction (CPR) Grants Program. A zero-waste framework embedding waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and composting strategies rooted in and serving local communities will protect the climate while enhancing social equity, economic opportunities, food systems resilience, and quality of life. Speakers: Scott Beckner Senior Environmental Scientist, CalRecycle Katherine Blauvelt Circular Economy Campaign Director, Industrious Labs Kinley Deller Program Project Manager, King County Moderated by: Leslie Lukacs Executive Director, Zero Waste Sonoma
