Tatiana Androsov was born in a mining town in Belgium in the 1950s to parents who had fled the Soviet Union during World War II and who subsequently emigrated to America. She climbed out of Passaic, New Jersey, the daughter of immigrant factory workers, to the hallowed grounds of Mount Holyoke College and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. A child locked in all summer without anything but a typewriter, she blossomed. Understanding the true meaning of being thankful for a half-filled glass, she wound up the president of the Thanks-Giving Foundation. Tatiana has lived life at both ends of the spectrum. Throughout this journey, her main preoccupation has been the welfare of her fellow human beings and the planet we all share. Going as far back as the “Letters to the World” that she wrote when she was twelve to the novels she created while a student, later as UN interpreter, UNDP and FAO staff member and C consultant in Rome and at NYHQs, and even during challenging missions abroad Tatiana kept writing. Now ‘retired', she has published some of her work, including 1) Before they Cut the Ivy on an elite women's college just before the Ivy League opened its doors to women; 2) Mangoes and Blood on an unusual international hostage situation; 3) Choices on an American woman working for the United Nations in Africa; and 4) A Question of Seduction Vol 1 Eros Vol 2 Agape on an international, intercultural, interfaith relationship set against inequalities in position, past traumas and changing world situation Having witnessed countless warnings about the future going unheeded and having seen what can be done when people come together, Tatiana looks for the opportunities available to us. For her, many of these opportunities are to be found within the United Nations System. Though an imperfect system with an unusual mix of people, a motley crew, one which is not well understood, Tatiana is convinced that it deserves much greater support than it has had in its first seventy-five years. ********************* This Podcast aims to serve as a platform to promote culture, education, economics, peace and conflict resolution.  We offer various discussion forums, peace-building, civic education, health awareness.

A conversation conducted by Rotary Club of New York with Bill Mehleisen/Leadership in times of crises Bill is a director at Mandalah where he works on regenerative business design, Owner of Seek Human, LLC where he runs his independent leadership advisory and coaching practice, and Lead Facilitator / Leadership Coach for Arcadia Consulting an organization performance consultancy. He is also an angel investor and mentor in the Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator in New York. In each of his roles, Bill is exploring how to help businesses, leaders, and teams evolve their thinking and practices to be a transformational force for good. His philosophy comes from an eclectic mix of mentors, theory, and practices which he summarizes in the following way: We are going through a big shift: from a mechanistic, hyper-individualism mindset to a regenerative, ecosystem mindset. Business is a tremendous tool to build better futures and can support this shift. However, mechanistic thinking is often seen in business discounts externalities and can severely limit our potential. There are better ways of doing business. To instigate this shift we explore some key areas: • Purpose: How do you operate from the Soul of your person / your organization? • People: How are you developing people so they are better after working with you / your organization? • Ecosystem: How are you cultivating generative relationships and creating more value than you capture? • Stewardship: How will you contribute to the health of the system and leave your little piece better than you found it? Bill lives in Brooklyn, NY but loves spending time in the mountains around Park City, Utah. He enjoys the power of art, music, and play to instigate creativity and transformation.

Couchbase vs. DynamoDB: Better Performance and Deployment Flexibility at Lower Cost Summary Amazon makes sure its own DynamoDB is the most convenient NoSQL database for Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers to choose. But that convenience is often short-lived once the real work begins. DynamoDB setups can run into performance issues and ballooning costs as your workload scales up. You’ll face problems when you need data available in real time. And DynamoDB’s proprietary query language adds yet another AWS service that your programmers and DBAs need to learn. Instead, you can deploy Couchbase on AWS in under 10 minutes and take advantage of the only database that combines the best of NoSQL, like high performance and multi-dimensional scaling, with the power and familiarity of SQL. In this Podcast you will learn how Couchbase can help you: Avoid DynamoDB’s item-size restrictions Speed up performance with in-memory processing and built-in caching Use your team’s existing SQL skills for writing complex queries Easily implement hybrid or multicloud strategies to avoid vendor lock-in Stop over-provisioning resources while cutting license and support costs by up to 50% View our Privacy Policy Jeff Morris is VP, Product and Solution Marketing for Couchbase private software company in California.

The Unmasking Suicide " by Abe Esquibel. Suicide is a difficult topic to talk about, most people often avoid talking about. Perhaps if we did talk about our thoughts and feelings or open sharing our internal conflicts, then maybe so many people wouldn’t see suicide as an option for escaping their pain. Simple, real conversations may just make the difference between life and death.  Abe was born in Mexico, moved to United States, enlisted in the army, got a masters in Social work and worked for 40 years at Kaiser as a social worker. Abe guaranteed he would not give a suicide demonstration. Abe anticipated that people might find the talk to be depressing and so indicated that he found his experiences to be uplifting. In September last year National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. More people die by suicide than from homicide, and that holds true for teens, too. For youth ages 10 to 24, suicide is the second leading cause of death, with approximately 16 American youth taking their lives each day, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.  Abe worked in three different clinics dealing with families and individuals for 22 years. For the last 17 years, he worked in the ER. He was called in when a patient needed a psych eval, and had the authority to hospitalize patients. Abe used a powerful intervention, an Australian approach, that explains that suicide exerts power from an external position. He’d begin by asking for permission to give his take on suicide. Most patients said yes. He’d ask, “what is your relationship with suicide?”, referencing suicide as an entity, an external influencer. Sometimes the “relationship” had gone on for years. He explained that suicide is like a negative energy that looks for vulnerable people and tries to convince them that taking themselves out is a good solution. “Your life is never going to get better.” “You’re a failure.” “Your family will be better off without you.” Abe would say to his patients that the goal of suicide is to take you out and to cause devastation to all around you. He affirmed their pain, but explained the persistent pain suicide causes to others. Typically Abe insisted that the family be present for an intervention, asking them to relate to their child or sibling how they would be affected if the suicide was successful. Families were asked to provide positive feedback. Family members confess to a personal relationship with suicide 50-60 percent of the time. Most say they have ended their relationship with suicide, and could say how they did it, which is useful. Abe would ask a patient whether they could commit to kick suicide out of their life, and if they hesitated, they would be admitted to the hospital. He often found that after a couple of hours with the patient, they were in a very different place. He shared a note received from a person who had tried to commit suicide, stressing the realization that suicide wasn’t a good solution. Suicide is really a self imposed death penalty, a more shocking term that emphasizes its terrible impact. It is very important to respond when someone appears to be suicidal, lest you become another who suffers from the impact of suicide. Ask them, “are you thinking about taking your own life?” Report it! Let them know they are valuable to you. Make sure they have no access to a gun. Make sure medications are in a secure place. The more we talk about suicide, the weaker suicide becomes. Let's talk about it!

Four-Way Test Speech Contest submitted by Lark Gerry Contest Chair and CHS Principal Brett O’Connor introduced the annual 4-Way Speech Contest, just one of many youth projects sponsored by our Club in partnership with Rotary District 5300. This year the theme is Rotary Connects the World. Students shared perspectives on the Four-Way Test, based on Herb Taylor’s famous statement on business ethics that we have adopted in Rotary. Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? There were three contestants all from Claremont High School: Alex Abarca, a senior, will attend Yale University, hopes to become a lawyer specializing in government. Melissa Glover, a senior, plans to attend a university here in California to study psychology, political science and/or American sign language. Maltin Tocani, a junior, whose short term goal is to graduate from high school, long term goal is medical school. A bit of history on the 4-Way Test:  From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world’s most widely printed and quoted statements of business ethics is The 4- Way Test, which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI president) when he was asked to take charge of a company that was facing bankruptcy. This 24 word test for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising, and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of the company is credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary in 1943, The 4-Way Test has been translated into more than a hundred languages and published in thousands of ways.
