Although attended by doctors\, nurses\, family and friends\, her condition—particularly if it is chronic—threatens to sever her connections with the world and to exile her into that fundamental solitude owned by the sick and suffering. Immersed in a medical system that seeks optimum outcomes with zero errors\, the patient receives care delivered with industrial efficiency. Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities provide both cure and control of chronic illness not imagined a decade ago. The patient\, then\, poised to benefit on multiple fronts\, should be increasingly satisfied with the medical encounter\; yet many patients feel alienated or even violated by the medical system. Many health care professionals also lament weaknesses in their technology-driven profession. What defines a quality medical encounter from the patient’s perspective? What do medical practitioners—nurses\, physicians\, social workers—value in their relationship with the patient? How is this relationship preserved and nurtured? What are the opportunities or perils in the physician-patient relationship? It seems timely to counteract the quantification of the patient by the health care industry and to call for a humanistic reconstitution of the patient’s experience and situation—to reconsider\, rethink\, and empathically re-imagine the patient in her environments\, ancient and contemporary\, intimate and social.

DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/8846579/ ] SPEAKERS: Linda Burch\, Chief Education & Strategy Officer\, Common Sense Media Anthony Salcito\, Vice President of Worldwide Education\, Microsoft Lucien Vattel\, Owner\, Chizuru Games & Executive Director\, GameDesk Noah Wardrip-Fruin\, Associate Professor of Computer Science\, UC Santa Cruz & Co-Director\, Expressive Intelligence Studio Moderator: Tony Wan\, Associate Editor\, EdSurge In March 2012\, US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan expressed his conviction that "technology is a game-changer in the field of education." One year ago President Obama put out a call for "investments in educational technology that will help create digital tutors that are as effective as personal tutors\, educational software as compelling as the best video game." What are the sorts of promising innovations living up to this challenge? How are they accelerating the quality of and access to education? Is gaming an effective tool? What are the challenges in adapting these technologies in everyday practice? And how can we trust that they will deliver on the promises? Are there compelling opportunities for entrepreneurs? The Churchill Club has assembled a diverse set of thought leaders to offer unique perspectives on these questions and explore big changes looming over the horizon.

Jackie decided to hold a Zumbathon(TM) to give back to the community and spread the word that fitness can be fun. A Zumbathon(TM) is a 3-hour dance party featuring several experienced Zumba(TM) instructors\, bringing the energy of a hundred or more dancers together for an unforgettable workout. Zumba(TM) is "a Latin-inspired\, easy-to-follow\, calorie-burning dance fitness party!" Music is paced with fast and slow rhythms\, resistance training\, and all the shimmying and shaking inherent in salsa\, merengue\, flamenco\, reggaeton\, samba\, belly dancing\, hip hop\, and tango. All proceeds from this Zumbathon(TM) will go to The Oakland Tech PTSA to supplement the school's budget and programs. Oakland Technical High School is a comprehensive public school in the heart of Oakland that serves an ethnically diverse population of nearly 2000 teens. Fifty percent of students are socioeconomically disadvantaged\, yet Tech's innovative\, rigorous and supportive programs create a safe and positive college-focused environment. Oakland Tech PTSA\, with over 400-members\, raises funds to supplement the school's budget and support sports\, dance\, technology\, performing arts\, and academic programs. We are looking for donors and sponsors to help offset the event expenses. Meet us on the front steps of Oakland Tech to dance the whole time\, or for part of it. Local vendors and student groups will sell food and drinks\, and Oakland fashion students from Rock\, Paper\, Scissors art collective will be on hand to "customize" t-shirts with scissors and paint. Anyone who can stand (or even sit) and move can do Zumba. No experience is necessary and all ages are welcome\, from kids to high school seniors to senior citizens! Bring your friends. Bring your family. If you come dance\, you'll get a colorful Zumba wristband and a fantastic workout.

Food Revolution Day on 19 May is a chance for people who love food to come together to share information\, talents and resources\; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world's food issues. All around the globe\, people will work together to make a difference. Food Revolution Day is about connecting with your community through events at schools\, restaurants\, local businesses\, dinner parties and farmers' markets. We want to inspire change in people's food habits and to promote the mission for better food and education for everyone. WHO IS TAKING PART? Schools\, businesses\, chefs\, restaurants and food lovers all over the world will take part\, and we'd love you to get involved too. Food Revolution Day is open to anyone in the world who wants to take the steps towards a healthier lifestyle and better education. You can raise awareness and fundraise for food education programs by hosting or attending Food Revolution Day events\, which will focus on locally sourced\, fresh food and promote the need for better food education. WHY HAVE A DAY OF ACTION? Worldwide\, obesity has more than doubled since 1980. For the first time in history\, being overweight is killing more people than being underweight\, and at least 2.8 million adults around the world die each year as a result of being overweight or obese. This has to change\, and it's down to us. We need to get back to basics and start thinking about where our food comes from. We need to become a conscious community and understand the food choices we make on a daily basis. We can do this by improving food education. Encouraging people to cook from scratch at home is at the heart of this. We all have family and friends who could make better food choices. On Food Revolution Day we can work together to empower people with the skills to improve their diet. Making simple changes to our food choices will improve our quality of life and our children's.

It is not simply a piece of paper or a pencil\, it is an opportunity for a child to write their name or color a picture and a chance for a child to see that they too can make a lasting difference in the world. Helping youth connect with and learn from each other is what we believe defines the true essence of education. We believe that this is not a grand idea\, but simply\, an equal education for all. Through heightened global exposure and cultural understanding\, the program inspires children to contribute to changing the status quo\, and recognize that human solidarity transcends national borders. SEE teaches that despite dramatic differences in opportunity and material wealth\, children in other countries should celebrate their similarities as well as their differences\, and deserve access to basic school supplies. Simply Equal Education is excited to announce our first gala event this summer!

Whether it takes place in the schoolyard\; the board room\; the corridors of academe\; a detention centre for alleged terrorists\; a government office\, or cyber space\; and whether it involves insult\, physical assault or manipulation of the environment with the intention of making another person’s life intolerable\, bullying involves the abuse of power. Everyone is affected by it\, whether directly or indirectly. All of us know people who are bullied\, and all of us know bullies\, though we may be unaware that we do. After all\, bullies may seem\, on the surface\, to be kind\, caring and supportive human beings\, interested in nurturing others. And if they have been kind to us\, we may fail to perceive their unkindness to others. Bullying goes on at every level\, often goes on behind closed doors\; inside private emails\, and in actions that might appear innocuous. It grows out of the ability that many (and perhaps most) people have\, to find enjoyment and fulfilment in exerting power over others. It depends for its existence either on a lack of empathy and human feeling\, or on the developed ability to suspend empathy. It can ruin lives\, and it can end lives. We should not allow ourselves to believe that because it is not open to view\, bullying is not present. In the first two years of Bullying and the abuse of power\, a number of themes have emrged. Two of these – bullying in schools and bullying in the workplace (including universities) are unsurprising and have featured strongly in both earlier conferences. Alongside these\, and other themes with a practical focus\, such as cyber bullying\, participants have wrestled with the problem of saying exactly what is to count as bullying\, and how far its boundaries extend. Abstracts are now invited for Bullying and the Abuse of Power 3\, for individual contributions or for symposia of three papers. Abstracts that illuminate and comment on more than one sphere in which bullying manifests itself\, are especially welcomed\, as are abstracts that draw together insights from more than one academic\, professional or vocational area\, or that draw from more than one cultural or theoretical perspective. Abstracts are also especially welcomed that focus on bullying in areas where the abuse of power is less commonly thought of in this way\, including the ill treatment of elders\; genocide\; human trafficking\, and bullying in international relations and international trade. 1. Bullying in School/in the Workplace ~ Bullying of older people/disabled people ~ Sexual bullying ~ Racial bullying ~ Religious intolerance 2. From Playground Bullying to Genocide/Bullying: How Far Can it Go? ~ Human Rights abuses ~ Genocide ~ The Holocaust ~ Human trafficking 3.

Is war an extension of politics by other means? The locomotive of technology? Does a state of peace truly exist\, or do we perpetually live in absentia bello ? Is humankind at war in its most natural state\; or is human society – despite perceptions and ongoing conflict around the world today – actually moving toward an aversion to war and toward a state of peace? Are Human Rights illusory and is the quest for Human Security achievable? This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference seeks to provide a challenging forum for the examination and evaluation of the nature\, purpose and experience of war\, and its impacts on all aspects of communities across the world. Viewing war as a multi-layered phenomenon\, this conference series invites committed academics\, non-academic based professionals from all walks of life\, including those from Military forces\, serving or retired\, Emergency\, Aid and Development Organisations (IOs\, International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGOs)\, NGOs and other Non-State Actors (NSAs) or Trans-National Social Movement(TNSMs)\, Commercial companies and corporate institutions\, the public services\, Faith based institutions\, charities\, the media\, the medical professions\, the arts and students in all related fields of interest\, to explore the historical\, legal\, social\, human\, religious\, economic\, and political contexts of conflicts\, and assess the place of nations\, alliances\, politics\, the military\, peace activism\, science\, academia\, faith\, the humanitarian sector\, art\, journalism\, literature\, music\, the media and the internet in representation and interpretation of the experience of warfare. In particular papers\, workshops\, reports\, formed panels and presentations are invited on any of the following themes\; 1. How do we Talk about War? Portrayal\, awareness\, language and expression.

Militarization of society\, propaganda\, war toys\, computer gaming\; in fashion -‘military chic’. Representing the realities of war versus ‘national interest’ – images of the heroism\, glory\, tacit and explicit justifications of war\; the horror of war and societal responses. 2.

Nations\, Communities and individuals recovering from war\, trauma\, rehabilitation and nation building. The experience of war\; art\, literature\, music\, poetry\, cinema and the theatre\; the role of the media – journalism\, radio\, television\, the internet\; propaganda. The representations and experiences of protest. 3. History and Development of Warfare and War Fighting. How have we fought and why. Lessons learned\, mistakes repeated.

Where are the new ‘battlespaces’?

The pace of change in health care has increased exponentially since our inaugural health care conference. In recent months\, congress passed health care reform\, but now continues to debate its future. We have officially entered a new era. Fortunately\, visionary leaders have been helping to shape this next phase of health care. Investments in innovation and quality have led to some very effective – and often surprising – ways to cut costs\, reduce errors\, increase service and satisfaction\, and improve access and outcomes. Bold initiatives such as these should be shared – especially during this transformative time\, when we are all looking for fresh models of excellence. The University of St. Thomas and its partners invite you to participate in an inspiring day of learning\, sharing and strategizing about how we can leverage innovation and quality to thrive in the new health care environment.
