For six minutes, Wisconsin husband, farmer, and writer Philip Hasheider was dead. He met all the requirements: heart not beating, lungs no longer breathing, skin an ashen color turning blue. He was lifeless, flat on the floor. “Six Minutes in Eternity:  A Memoir” is an extraordinary story of his Near Death Experience (NDE), including the events on an early October morning leading to his sudden cardiac death and what he experienced during that time away from his body. Through no request or fault of his own, he had suddenly, in an instant, become an expert on dying. This book explains what he experienced during the time he was being revived and explores how the full awareness of his life has been opened for him with a new set of eyes. His interpretation of the experience here and in another dimension offers a pathway for others to follow this journey with him.Philip Hasheider is a farmer, writer, and local historian. He is the author of 30 books on farming, local history, and family stories. His essays have appeared in the Wisconsin Academy of Review, The Capital Times, Wisconsin State Journal, Sickle & Sheaf, Seasons on the Farm, Old Sauk Trails, My First Tractor: Stories of Farmers and Their First Love, and The Country Today. He wrote the first Wisconsin Local Food Marketing Guide, which received the Wisconsin Distinguished Document Award from the Wisconsin Library Association and the National Notable Government Documents Award from the American Library Association.

Dial has held challenging positions in Human Resources, Professional Development, and Education with increasing executive responsibility. His career has been characterized by key assignments in personnel management, personnel services, and the formulation of programs, policy, professional development, and teaching. In his last military position as The Director of Family Programs, he was responsible for the formal education, development, and preparation of 17 (colonel and civilian equivalent) students for the broad responsibilities of future senior leadership in the Department of Defense, Joint, or combined organizations within the federal government.

“We're moving at a snail's pace compared to what's available out there. These kids are going to change the world if we let them. Or, they won't because we stopped them.” “I think that the biggest issue in science it's our inability to share our stories.” Serena has dedicated her life to advancing science and science education while working with the nation's most promising youth. Dr. Serena McCalla was raised in New York City and fell in love with science as an elementary school student. She earned her bachelor's degree, as a double major, in Biological Science and African American & African Studies from the State University of New York at Binghamton University with intentions to become an ER physician. However, she quickly realized she was more inspired by research than medicine. To satisfy her craving for deeper scientific understandings, Dr. Serena McCalla earned an MS degree in Hematology/Microbiology, a Ph.D. that explored the use of diagnostic tests to improve the comprehension of genetics, photosynthesis, and respiration in secondary and collegiate Courses. Dr. McCalla's teaching experience began shortly after earning her bachelor's degree. In the classroom, her appreciation for the sciences became more profound as the students exposed her to nuances of various scientific disciplines including material science, nanotechnology, computer science, computational biology, and physics. Using her growing knowledge of science fields outside of her degrees, Dr. McCalla founded the iResearch Corporation while working as the Science Research Coordinator for Jericho UFSD, Jericho, NY.  The iResearch Corporation is the parent company of iResearch Foundation, iResearch Institute, iResearch Academy, and iResearch Science. These companies help Dr. McCalla share her research practices with educators and students from around the globe. The iResearch Foundation supports underrepresented and underprivileged students' participation in the iResearch Institute and iResearch Academy. These programs promote science research method training and review of fundamental and advanced sciences by conducting laboratory experimentation and data science/bioinformatics data analysis and research to test novel hypotheses. Additionally, the iResearch Institute and iResearch Academy review the scientific method and research method practices through its international programs. The scientific training of these students encourages them to a) systematically address the use of the scientific method during the completion of projects, b) complete novel experimentation, and c) promote expertise in presenting and writing journal-worthy papers. Secondarily, Dr. McCalla is the Science Research Coordinator for Jericho Union Free School District (UFSD) and designed her curriculum to foster excellence in scientific research.  The Jericho UFSD program has become one of the preeminent science research programs in the United States. Under Dr. McCalla's tutelage, the school district is lauded annually for its exemplary performance in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and Regeneron (formally Intel) Science Talent Search (STS) competitions producing over 80 scholars and 15 National finalists. The iResearch Corporation parallels the environment Dr. McCalla built at Jericho High School and UFSD, the culture of her classroom and lab brings forth copious avenues to help students excel in science, math, bioinformatics, data science, and engineering research. She enjoys that each day provides a new opportunity to encourage students to explore and impact the future of science and society. A natural competitor, Dr. Serena McCalla is not only a science research enthusiast and professional; she also considers herself a science geek and competition supporter. She is the President of the New York State Science and Engineering Fair (NYSSEF; 2014 - present) because she believes in promoting students' academic excellence and encouraging accompanied recognition in science. Her most pivotal goal is to foster student learning and research to extend past successes in their universities and ultimately manifest themselves in the global arena. Dr. McCalla believes these works will propel this generation of students to improve life on this planet as we know it. Dr. McCalla has earned numerous awards for teaching and mentoring. Awards she has received include the U.S. Presidential Scholar Program Teacher Recognition Award (2023, 2017, & 2010), the Distinguished Teacher Award from the Harvard Club of Long Island (2016 & 2012), the Teacher of Merit Award earned annually from Regeneron/Intel Science Talent Search (2023 - 2010), received an honorary minor planet (named Serena McCalla) from MIT Lincoln Laboratory, and the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force funded Outstanding Teacher Award in association with the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS). Dr. McCalla's students have won virtually all STEM competitions that are publicly accessible regionally, nationally, and internationally. To conclude, Dr. McCalla had the unique experience of participating as a principal subject in the National Geographic documentary Science Fair. The immensely likable film chronicles the importance of science fairs in the high school learning experience. The documentary highlights the trials, tribulations, and successes of the Jericho High School students in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The documentary was selected for and premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, and was honored by winning the festival's first-ever overall Festival Favorite Award. The documentary also earned additional awards, including an Academy Emmy Award. Dr. McCalla is again a principal character in the upcoming National Geographic TV/Disney+ docuseries released on December 10, 2023, called Science Fair: the Series. Dr. McCalla has also participated in speaking engagements, commercials, and panels for Disney+, National Geographic, and XSTEM. She is also a newly named National Geographic Explorer, receiving the Wayfinder Award in 2023. The Wayfinder Grant supported the design of a new science research competition entitled “The Lost Einsteins”. Dr. McCalla hopes to continue to bolster the brilliance and determination of future scientists. In addition, she encourages her students to follow her quote- “if you dream it, complete the work to make your dream reality”. McCalla aspires to support all students to make a difference by discovering something new within themselves and the world. R.O.G. Takeaway Tips: Find your passion. Share your story.

Luca Scarlini"Stregherie"Fatti, scandali e verità sulle sovversive della storiaA cura di Luca ScarliniVilla Reale di Monza, fino al 26 febbraio 2023Una storia vecchia e nuova di streghe, tra conoscenze antiche, cerimonie nascoste, sacralità ed erotismo per raccontare una figura di donna rimossa dalla cultura e dalla vita. Stampe antiche da una collezione unica al mondo, con incisori dai toni cupi come Dürer o Goya e artisti dai colori morbidi come Delacroix, trattati maledetti cinquecenteschi, manifesti cinematografici originali a tema, amuleti, feticci e altri strumenti rituali provenienti dallo sperduto Museum of Witchcraft di Boscastle, in Cornovaglia. Fino al 26 febbraio 2023 il Belvedere della Villa Reale di Monza ospiterà Stregherie. Fatti, scandali e verità sulle sovversive della storia, a cura di Luca Scarlini. La mostra, ideata e prodotta da Vertigo Syndrome, con il patrocinio del Comune di Monza, espone una collezione di stampe antiche unica al mondo, che mette insieme i maggiori incisori ed artisti degli ultimi due secoli con straordinari illustratori anonimi dimenticati, presentando scene di malefici, torture, sabba osceni, crudi episodi di stregoneria ma anche scene luminose di streghe buone, zingare che guariscono bambini dalle malattie e simboli magici nascosti in quadri pastorali. Il visitatore inizierà la sua visita vivendo su di sé la forte esperienza di un vero processo per stregoneria tenuto da un tribunale medievale del 1539. In seguito sarà invitato a entrare nel mondo dell'Antica Religione della Grande Madre vivendone i luoghi, i riti, le azioni e gli oggetti in un percorso che si articolerà in dieci stanze fortemente caratterizzate, dalla tradizione mitologica fino alla definizione della figura in epoca moderna. Incisioni di streghe, strumenti di magia e una illustratrice dell'atroce La mostra rende giustizia al senso più pieno della parola “Strega”, dichiarando che in un mondo che apparentemente ha rinunciato a ogni senso del sacro e a molti dei suoi antichi legami con la natura, esiste ancora, oggi come un tempo, una società di donne che si dedica all'occulto e che usa la magia per risolvere i problemi del quotidiano. Si diventa streghe per affermare la propria personalità, per sfuggire alle botte di un marito manesco, per insoddisfazione di sé, per impulsi erotici, per odio verso i propri nemici, perché attratte dalla luna o dalla potenza delle piante. L'elenco delle opere racchiude circa cento incisioni originali antiche, scelte dal curatore Luca Scarlini all'interno della collezione Guglielmo Invernizzi. Sempre dalla collezione provengono alcuni trattati immancabili in un percorso dedicato alla stregoneria, come il Malleus Maleficiarum, il più consultato manuale sulla caccia alle streghe, nella pregiata edizione del XVI secolo, dove sono indicati caso per caso i supplizi e le pene da fare soffrire a chi era accusato di stregoneria. A fianco delle opere, la mostra presenta una selezione di manifesti, locandine e fotobuste a tema maligno, provenienti dalla sterminata collezione di cimeli cinematografici di Alessandro Orsucci, ed una serie di oggetti originali, mai visti in Italia, legati al mondo della stregoneria – antichi calderoni, bacchette, feticci, amuleti e talismani – prestati dal leggendario Museo specializzato in Stregoneria di Boscastle, in Cornovaglia. Inoltre, una sezione di interesse locale, è dedicata al raro romanzo storico La strega di Monza, scritto da Giuseppe Bertoldi da Vicenza nel 1861, proveniente dalla Biblioteca Civica Bertoliana di Vicenza, che racconta le vicende della Matta Tapina, Strega herbaria, che visse nel “Bosco Bello”, selva poi inglobata nel Parco di Monza. La mostra Stregherie si completa con una sezione separata che racchiude sei illustrazioni originali inedite di Gloria Pizzilli. Gloria Pizzilli si occupa di illustrazione a livello internazionale dal 2010. Attiva tra Italia, Francia e Stati Uniti, Gloria collabora con le migliori testate del mondo, tra cui The New Yorker, The New York Times, Scientific American, The Boston Globe, GQ Usa, oltre a La Stampa, L'Espresso e Il Corriere della Sera per l'Italia. La sua carriera artistica le porta diversi riconoscimenti come l'Award of Excellence di Communication Arts, l'Year's Best di Spectrum, il Merit Award di 3X3 llustration Professional Show, oltre ad esporre le sue opere a Parigi, Milano, Roma, Tokyo. Con uno stile tra il burlesque francese e le donne di Klimt le streghe di Gloria Pizzilli sono terrificanti, nude e bellissime, con curve che sembrano abbracci, ma con una atrocità talmente palpabile e aggressiva da aver richiesto una sezione chiusa per non urtare la sensibilità dei visitatori meno preparati. Le opere inedite di Gloria Pizzilli saranno pubblicate su un piccolo volume edito da Vertigo Syndrome e in 6 stampe d'arte firmate vendute in edizione limitata esclusivamente nel bookshop della mostra.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

This vinyl mix Danny pays tribute to the late singer songwriter Christine McVie with music by Stevie Nicks, Cocteau Twins, Modern English, and more. Christine Anne McVie (/məkˈviː/;[1] née Perfect; 12 July 1943 – 30 November 2022) was an English musician and songwriter. She was principally known as a vocalist and keyboardist with the band Fleetwood Mac.A member of several bands on the mid-1960s British Blues scene, notably Chicken Shack, she began playing with Fleetwood Mac in 1968, initially as a contract session player, before formally joining the band in 1970. She started to emerge as a songwriter by 1971, with her first compositions appearing on her fourth album with the group, Future Games. She would remain with the band through many lineup changes for the next several decades, generally writing and performing lead vocals on about half of the tracks on all of their subsequent studio albums (though she had partially retired in 1998, and only appeared as a session musician on the band's last studio album, Say You Will. She also released three solo studio albums. Steve Leggett of AllMusic described her as an "unabashedly easy-on-the-ears singer/songwriter, and the prime mover behind some of Fleetwood Mac's biggest hits". Eight songs written or co-written by her, including "Don't Stop", "Everywhere", and "Little Lies", appeared on Fleetwood Mac's 1988 Greatest Hits album.As a member of Fleetwood Mac, McVie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 1998. The same year, after almost 30 years with the band, she opted to leave and lived in semi-retirement for nearly 15 years. She released a solo album in 2004. She appeared on stage with Fleetwood Mac at the O2 Arena in London in September 2013, before rejoining the band in 2014 prior to their On with the Show tour.McVie received a Gold Badge of Merit Award from BASCA, now The Ivors Academy, in 2006.[9] She received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors in 2014 and was honoured with the Trailblazer Award at the UK Americana Awards in 2021. She was also the recipient of two Grammy Awards.

Actor, Virginia circuit court judge, and OHIO School of Theater alum William T. Newman, Jr. has a full life. He thrives through his love and respect for both the law and the stage, two practices with skills that often intertwine. Earlier on this 7th day of October 2022, Judge Newman was awarded the prestigious Ohio University Alumni Association's Medal of Merit Award, a recognition of his long and robust career in both the law and on the stage, in television and on the big screen. OHIO's College of Fine Arts sat down with Judge Newman for an intimate interview about his career arc in both the law and in the theater arts. Listen to how he got bitten by the acting bug, what makes him nervous (spoiler: not much!), and how he sees trust as being central in both the courtroom and on the stage.

A work called "Red" handed by multimedia artist Emma Hercus won this year's $20,000 National Contemporary Art Awards. The collage on MDF of an abstract masked figure with upraised hands, was chosen from more than three hundred entries. All the finalists' works are on show at Waikato Museum Te Whare Taonga o Waikato. It's an event that's often hit the headlines since it started more than 20 years ago. The media are notoriously sceptical of "modern art" and occasionally struggle to get their head around the winning work! Lynn Freeman spoke to Emma and to the judge, artist Reuben Paterson, who describes the winning piece as "a celebration of adversity". 2022 Runner Up and winner of the $5,000 Hugo Charitable Trust Award Raukura Turei for He Tukuna V (onepu, oil and pigment on linen). 2022 Friends of Waikato Museum $1,000 Merit Award winner Sara (Hera) Tautuku Orme for Ko Te Awa Ko Au -Darling (Darz) (photograph). 2022 Random Art Group $1,000 Merit Award winner Oleg Polounine for Dits and Dahs (aluminium foil sculpture).

Dr. Pamela Kunz, of the Yale Cancer Center, and the JCO consultant editor for Meeting Abstracts, discusses “hidden gems” from ASCO22, highlighting abstracts that address EDI, global health, health care economics, and more. Abstracts/Tweetorials @PamelaKunzMD and @ryangentzler TRANSCRIPT ASCO Daily News: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Daily News podcast. I'm Geraldine Carroll, a reporter for the ASCO Daily News. My guest today is Dr. Pamela Kunz, an associate professor of medicine and director of the Center for Gastrointestinal Cancers at the Yale School of Medicine. Dr. Kunz is also the Journal of Clinical Oncology's (JCO) contributing editor for meeting abstracts. You may have seen her recent tweetorials highlighting compelling abstracts from the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting. She'll be telling us more about this initiative to highlight impactful studies that address equity, diversity, and inclusion, global oncology, and more. Dr. Kunz's full disclosures are available in the show notes and disclosures relating to all episodes of the podcast can be found on our transcripts at asco.org/podcasts. Dr. Kunz, thanks for being on the podcast today. Dr. Pamela Kunz: Thank you. It's my pleasure to be here. ASCO Daily News: Social media has created a global community in oncology, and you and Dr. Ryan Gentzler of the University of Virginia Cancer Center recently launched a great series of tweetorials to highlight compelling studies from the ASCO Annual Meeting. Some of our listeners will have seen these threads already, and others will be keen to find them and know more about these efforts. Can you give us the details? Dr. Pamela Kunz: Sure, I'd be happy to. This is a new initiative to really modernize the meeting abstracts. These used to be called meeting proceedings and were printed, and we felt that there was a real opportunity to use social media to disseminate more information around abstracts. And we decided this year to focus on four themes. They are diversity, equity, and inclusion; global health; health care economics; and the Merit Award recipients. And within each of these tweetorials, we have 4 to 5 abstracts that are highlighted that include takeaways and a visual from the poster or presentation. We intentionally decided to highlight abstracts that were not otherwise highlighted in the ASCO Annual Meeting in either oral sessions or poster discussions. So we are calling these hidden gems. There are so many great scientific abstracts that don't get otherwise highlighted, and this was a really nice opportunity to do so. ASCO Daily News: Excellent. And I understand you'll be highlighting a couple of abstracts for us today. I believe the first one concerns telehealth used by older patients. Can you tell us about this abstract? Dr. Pamela Kunz: Sure. So this is in the health equity tweetorial, and this is Abstract 1591 by Dr. Higashi and colleagues. And the takeaway from this, I found this interesting, and the disclosure is that I selected these abstracts, given my own personal interests, but I thought that they would be of broad interest to the ASCO membership. So telehealth really became used quite often during COVID, and I think that that has been a real silver lining that there is increased access to expert cancer care through the use of telehealth. This abstract demonstrated that the use of telehealth during cancer treatment was really received positively by older patients, providers, and staff. Most older patients, 66%, and providers and staff, 77%, intended to continue using telehealth after the pandemic. There are certainly some equity issues related to telehealth in terms of access to the internet and the ability to use the technology, but I thought this was interesting because it's specifically focused on older patients. ASCO Daily News: Excellent. Telehealth certainly has been a gamechanger in oncology. I believe the second abstract that you'll be highlighting addresses the use of supportive care in pancreas cancer, correct? Dr. Pamela Kunz: That's exactly right. So this is in the Merit Award tweetorial, and there are so many fantastic Merit Award recipients. It was actually very difficult to select just a few to highlight. In the tweetorial, we will be providing the link to all of the Merit Award recipients. So I encourage listeners to really go look at that. So this specific abstract that I wanted to mention on today's podcast is Abstract 4154 by Dr. Chris Cann and colleagues. They examined, through the National Cancer database, over 150,000 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer and found that only 2.9% received supportive care treatment despite over 65% of these patients receiving care at an academic program. And so I think that it just really highlighted the need for these patients to really utilize supportive care programs. Perhaps sometimes we have a bias that we refer patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer to supportive care programs. But there's an opportunity to take advantage of these services earlier. ASCO Daily News: Excellent. Well, Dr. Kunz, looking ahead, do you think there's scope to leverage social media more in oncology? Tweetorials, for example, are a great vehicle for education and a way to address topics that don't get as much attention as we'd like? Dr. Pamela Kunz: Absolutely, Geraldine. You know, this was a pilot this year with Dr. Ryan Gentzler and myself. There is an active social media editor, Dr. Shannon Westin, who's a consultant member of the JCO editorial board as well. I think in partnering with the ASCO Annual Meeting Social Media Team, this has really been a team effort. And we are hoping to do more of this in future years, and in particular, take advantage of creating opportunities for perhaps fellows and junior faculty to assist in disseminating some of this information via social media. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely. This is an incredibly important initiative that will benefit oncologists, patient advocates, and patients alike who are on social media to learn about advances in care. So it's really important that we let our listeners know where they can find these tweetorials. You are on Twitter @PamelKunzMD and Dr. Ryan Gentzler is @ryangentzler. Dr. Kunz, is there anything else you'd like to add before we wrap up the podcast today? Dr. Pamela Kunz: Well, thank you for the opportunity to highlight this. I think we would also welcome suggestions from our listeners. If you are reading the tweetorials, you can send me a direct message, and we'd welcome suggestions for future years on how to highlight other science from our ASCO Annual Meeting. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely. And we'd certainly like to encourage our listeners to share these amazing tweetorials. Well, Dr. Kunz, thanks for coming on the podcast today and for your efforts to elevate abstracts and investigators who are working really hard to address some complex issues in cancer care. Dr. Pamela Kunz: Thank you for the opportunity. ASCO Daily News: And thank you to our listeners for joining us today. You will find links to the abstracts discussed today on the transcript of this episode, and we'll post the Twitter handles of Dr. Kunz and Dr. Gentzler in the show notes.

Legal stories tend to dominate the news. This is particularly true in recent weeks with the trial and conviction of Derek Chauvin. In some cases the headlines are justified, in others the public seems to take an outsized interest in certain legal cases. Our guest on this episode is Paul DerOhannesian. Paul is a lawyer who has been involved in numerous high profile cases throughout the past 30+ years, and has in our opinion handled them the right way. Paul Derohannesian has practiced law for more than 35 years and is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, American Association for Justice, New York State Bar Association, New York State Trial Lawyers Association, and Albany County Bar Association. He has received the AV Preeminent Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell for the highest quality demonstration of legal abilities and adherence to ethical standards, and the coveted Lecturer of Merit Award by the National College of District Attorneys in recognition of his teaching. Paul was also recently named to the City & State 2021 Upstate Power 100 List. Paul's firm can be found online at www.derolaw.com. On this episode Paul and Scott discuss what it's like on the inside of high profile cases, as well as how often the media gets things right, and where they tend to go wrong. We discuss the impact of the internet and social media on the idea of a “fair trial”, and go on to discuss the more recent trends of podcasts and television true crime stories and their impact on those who are actually involved in the case. This was a very interesting discussion, and we hope you enjoy hearing some inside baseball from one of the best. **A quick note that this podcast was recorded prior to the conviction of Derek Chauvin.

And he did.” — Ken Kragen, Harry Chapin’s manager and co-creator of USA for Africa and Hands Across AmericaThe incredible life of Harry Chapin can be seen like never before in, Harry Chapin: When In Doubt, Do Something. This documentary, directed by Rick Korn and released by Greenwich Entertainment (Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll President, Creem: America’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll Magazine, Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind), follows the renowned GRAMMY-nominated folk singer from childhood - spent under the shadow of his jazz drummer father - throughout his tragically short life and captures the up-and-down spirit of one of folk’s great humanitarians. The film’s theatrical release is set for October 16 on World Food Day — a fitting coincidence for a man who co-founded the influential hunger non-profit WhyHunger.Told through archival footages and new interviews, When In Doubt, Do Somethingexplores like never before the key moments in Chapin’s life, including performing with his brothers and working on the Academy Award-nominated documentary Legendary Champions, to his solo success with hits like “Taxi,” “W.O.L.D.” and “Cat’s In The Cradle” and his tireless philanthropic work, which included his efforts with WhyHunger and a seemingly endless run of benefit performances, all of which led to him being posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. This documentary paints a new picture of the singer-songwriter who used his fame as a launching point to help others and influence politics. It features testimonials from Chapin's family (including Tom Chapin and Steve Chapin), as well as peers including Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Kenny Rogers, Robert Lamm (Chicago), Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Pat Benatar, Bob Geldof, Ken Kragen, longtime bassist John Wallace, and WhyHunger co-founder Bill Ayres. “Harry Chapin was one of the greatest storytellers of all time. He wanted to change the world. And he did.” These words kick off the debut trailer of When In Doubt, Do Something: The Harry Chapin Story. Watch the trailer, which premiered this morning on Rolling Stone: https://bit.ly/32y9dHsA portion of proceeds from the film will go to both WhyHunger and The Harry Chapin Foundation. The film was produced by Korn, S.A. Baron, and Chapin’s son, Jason Chapin.Harry Chapin sold over 16 million records, had 14 hit singles, and garnered two GRAMMY nominations. In 1977 he was a key participant in the creation of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger. In 1986, he was posthumously awarded the GRAMMY President’s Merit Award. He was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame in 2011.            About WhyHungerFounded in 1975 by the late Harry Chapin and radio DJ Bill Ayres, WhyHunger believes a world without hunger is possible. They provide critical resources to support grassroots movements and fuel community solutions rooted in social, environmental, racial and economic justice. A four-star rated charity by Charity Navigator, WhyHunger is working to end hunger and advance the human right to nutritious food in the U.S. and around the world.

LAFAYETTE, La. — Dupré Logistics was recently recognized for its outstanding safety record by National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC), an industry champion for transportation safety on America's highways. Dupré, which is categorized into NTTC's 40-90 Million Miles class, was honored with the Merit Award in the Competitive Safety Contest for 2019. Additionally, the company earned the Grant Award in the Personnel Safety Contest for 2019. “These awards magnify the ongoing efforts of our team to make Dupré an industry leader in safety,” said Al Lacombe, vice president of safety and risk management. “Dupré provides quality service while promoting and maintaining a culture of safety at every level.” For more than 30 years, NTTC has honored carriers and fleets for meeting safety goals. In his congratulatory letter to Dupré, the organization's chairman, Kevin Jackson, said the company's achievements are even more meaningful during the current pandemic. “The restrictions brought on by COVID-19 have highlighted the essential work and critical role that tank trucks play in our nation's economy,” said Jackson. “The industry has kept North America moving, and companies like Dupré have kept the roads safe while making sure that the needs of Americans are met.”

Have you ever had someone that truly believed in you? Who truly saw your potential and walked alongside you to watch you succeed? Who pushed you to the next level in your career? That is the definition of a great mentor, and That's what a mentorship can do for you. COVID-19 is going to deeply impact students and young professionals futures. Having the support you need is critically important right now. Having a mentor can be a career (or even life changing) opportunity. But knowing how to find a mentor, or how to structure a mentorship, how to nurture that relationship can be a daunting task. You want it to be meaningful to both parties which requires some thought and intention. As a young professional, sometimes it can be scary to reach out and talk with others that you look up to. You know you could learn so much from them, but you really don't where to begin. One thing that I think is important is to always be curious. Always assume you don't know it all. I try to have that attitude when I'm interviewing others for this podcast. For example, I've heard a lot of mentorships, but when you get to talk with up and coming leaders, be a listener. I'm never afraid to ask the dumb question. I'm never afraid. Because I bet someone out there has the same question. And I actually think that type of attitude you need to have to have a successful mentorship. Or relationship for that matter. The more I learn about mentorships, or even working relationships in general, is how important it is to come with an open mind, come willing to learn, but also to realize you can learn from both sides. A mentee can learn from their mentor, and a mentor can learn from their mentee. An employee can learn from their supervisor, and a supervisor can learn from their employees. When you value each other regardless of your "level" or your "superiority" you are choosing to honor each other as people with valid experiences, expertise, and knowledge. As a relationship grows, you begin to trust in one another. When you find a supervisor or mentor who trusts your opinion and counts on you as guidance, I believe that's when you have a really rich relationship that can be really meaningful. In this episode, you will learn: 1. how to find a mentor 2. 2. what to ask mentors/how to form a relationship 3. 3. the power of asking for help Let me introduce you to a future game changer in the parks and recreation field: Meredith Lawrence, CPRP (https://www.linkedin.com/in/meredith-lawrence-cprp-30b9a6a9/) is the Recreation Program Coordinator at the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota. As chair of the MRPA Programming Section and chair-elect of the MRPA Young Professional Student Network, she is piloting a mentorship program in Minnesota. She is an active member of the Minnesota Golf Course Superintendent Association, all while pursuing a Masters of Public Administration at Hamline University. She was awarded the 2019 Service for Merit Award for the Young Professional and Student Network of the MRPA, and was the recipient of the 2017 United States Tennis Association Northern Section Junior Development Award. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lets-talk-parks/message

The co-authors discuss a preoperative prehabilitation educational class that was developed by urologic nurses and had input from a multidisciplinary team consisting of physicians, ostomy nurses, physical therapists, and nutritionists, and was also shaped by patient and caregiver input. During the class, patients and caregivers were prepped for cystectomy surgery with hands-on practice of stoma site marking, how to independently care for their ostomies, post-operative expectations, and more.Other co-authors for this award-winning poster include:Anne Fitzgerald, BSN, RN, and Juliet Starr, RNEpisode ResourcesTo view a description of the poster, “Empowering the Patient: Education and Preparation Prior to Cystectomy Surgery”, click here. 

Joseph Loscalzo, MD, PhD, MA, is the Hersey Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine and Soma Weiss MD Distinguished Chair in Medicine at Harvard Medical School,  Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Physician-in-Chief at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Loscalzo completed his MD from the University of Pennsylvania and training in internal medicine and cardiology from Brigham and Women's Hospital. He has authored over 1,000 scientific publications, has authored or edited 51 books, and holds 32 patents for his work in the field of nitric oxide, redox biology and vascular biology. Dr. Loscalzo has been awarded the George W. Thorn Award for Excellence in Teaching at Brigham and Women's Hospital, the Distinguished Scientist Award and the Paul Dudley White Award from the American Heart Association and the MERIT Award from the NIH to name a few. Dr. Loscalzo is the former Editor-in-Chief of Circulation, currently the editor at large at the New England Journal of Medicine and a current senior editor of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. Mentors are not just found in people, mentorship is a mindset, a learning mindset. Today, Dr. Joseph Loscalzo shares how he has found mentors not only in those physicians whom he has aspired to become like, but also in the mistakes he has made. And while these mentors may be more anonymized than the rest, they are absolutely as important as the personal interactions. He reminds us of a statement by Winston Churchill “Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It's the courage to continue that counts”. And so rather than trying to avoid failure and become successful at every step, he encourages us to embrace challenges, because it is those challenges that we encounter which will foster our growth in every stage of our career. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. It's the challenges that help us grow. It's the times we aren't as successful that make an impression. And we should seek comfort in facing failures and learning from them. 2. Mentors are not just people, mentorship is a mindset: A learning mindset. Our advisors, peers, students and even our mistakes can be mentors on our journey. 3. Shared success is more important than solo success and has a longer lasting effect because of its propagating features. Collaborate together to succeed.

We all use maps to get around, but we also use mental maps, or worldviews, to navigate through life. The best way to witness today is to know what people’s worldview is, and then to show them “gaps in their maps” –the disconnect between what they believe and what they actually experience. Find out what a worldview is and how to know what truth is so you can share Jesus effectively. Brad Alles is an Assistant Professor of Education at Concordia University Wisconsin.
