The care of children with cleft lip and palate spans an entire lifetime. It requires methodical care with a multidisciplinary team, and a special emphasis on the family. Integration with a child's pediatrician, medical home and their loved ones is key. While the oral cleft is the most common craniofacial malformation in a newborn, the three main types differ vastly. We are in for a treat with the guest for this episode. We are joined by a gifted plastic surgeon who has traveled the world to perform these life-changing surgeries and bring smiles to everyone involved. Phuong Nguyen, MD, specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery here at Children's Hospital Colorado. In addition, he is the associate vice chair of global surgery, chief of plastic surgery, co-director of the cleft lip and palate program and a professor of surgery at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

POLICY SEMINAR Nudging for Good: AI driven diagnostics and behavior change to improve diets and nutrition JUL 28, 2022 - 12:00 TO 2:00PM EDT Unhealthy diets are a critical global concern, but current dietary assessment methods are costly and challenging to implement. Mobile-phone-based interventions show some promise for improving nutrition data collection and dietary quality, especially for adolescents in low- and middle-income countries. The Nudging for Good project has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted mobile phone application, the Plant Village Food Recognition Assistance and Nudging Insights (FRANI). This app can recognize foods, track food-group consumption, provide diet-related statistics, and nudge users to improve food consumption. Validation of FRANI for dietary assessment in adolescent girls in Ghana and Viet Nam showed it performs as well or better than the standard multi-pass 24-hour recall method, highlighting its potential to address critical data gaps and provide a platform for interventions to improve diet quality. This seminar will launch the FRANI app and discuss the results of new dietary assessment technologies and perspectives on the way forward for technology-assisted diet assessment. Nudging for Good is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the International Food Policy Research Institute, Plant Village at Penn State University, the University of Ghana, and the National Institute of Nutrition and Thai Nguyen National Hospital in Viet Nam.

Over the last couple of months, they've been seeking community interest to see if there is a need for a space for women to learn certain skills of choice. So far the response has been overwhelming with many people saying they want a space to learn practical skills like home maintenance, fixing a tyre, changing the oil; those skills that are stereotypically left for men.You'll hear from Phuong Nguyen and Georgia Zeitz about the project and how you can get involved.There have been many former OT students that have done their placements in Clare that have started successful projects such as the Lions Furniture Shed and the Bikes and Brekkie Initiative, hopefully the women's shed will be added to this list of successful initiatives.Details:Email: cvwsproject@gmail.comThe Playford Women's Shed: https://www.facebook.com/playfordwomensshed/Mid North Community Passenger Network:Are you travelling to the city often for medical appointments and the whole experience stresses you out?

Phuong Nguyen is a CFA charterholder. He is a value-oriented and fundamentally driven investor. He has 8 years of experience in the investment industry with various buy-side firms and has lived through some, a few of the tough market times. In his view, the Asian investment landscape is uneven and investors should sharpen their investing acumen beyond the face value of data or information. He manages his family investment account, which has delivered an annualized return of more than 30%, which is more than 15% over the benchmark. Meanwhile, his portfolio since its inception 4 years ago has only sustained an average 14.1% downside volatility compared to 23.9 for the benchmark. He is currently exploring a global career opportunity to apply his rigorous research process and investment acumen. His core expertise is in Asia-Pacific markets and he is a member of the CFA Society Singapore. “I make it worse by using leverage, Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett talk about the 3 Ls to avoid, which are ladies, liquor and leverage: leverage I used it. It turned out to be bad for the investment.” – Phuong Nguyen Lessons learned Don’t forget the 3Ls. Phuong referred to Buffett talking about him and his partner Charlie Munger’s attitude to leverage when he said: “There are only three ways that a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies, and leverage.” Leverage in Phuong’s case meant borrowing money from a broker in the hope of having the money multiply to the extent that the loan can be repaid with interest to leave enough of a gain to profit from. Look out for all potential headwinds. Avoid emotional bias after meeting a company’s smiling faces. No matter how charming a company’s management is, how convincing and humble they are, do not act to invest in a company right away after you meet the company because at that time you will be suffering from emotional bias. Stay away from them for about a week, do more research and only then can you look at the investment again. Despite a company meeting and your feelings about investment going well, emotions should be kept in check. “Our aversion to leverage has dampened our returns over the years. But Charlie and I sleep well. Both of us believe it is insane to risk what you have and need in order to obtain what you don’t need.” – Warren Buffet Andrew’s takeaways Be mindful of the effect of confirmation bias. It’s human behavior to look for information that confirms our original views or hypothesis on a matter, and everyone in all fields suffers from that bias. Therefore, investors especially have to work extra hard to find opposing views or arguments against our thesis on an investment idea. Be wary of cyclical. When investing in cyclical type of companies, it can be extremely dangerous. A lot of people like to invest in consumer-type products because generally demand is steady and supply is steady. But when you’re investing in cyclical, there is a much greater risk, which sometimes is what attracts investors because of the old magnet: “high risk, high return”. On company visits. As an analyst for more than 20 years, taking thousands of fund managers on visits to just as many companies, Andrew says that probably 95% of the meetings he attended added no value. In some cases, it made someone either overconfident in liking the company or overconfident in disliking it. Which either way biased their decisions. Andrew agreed with Phuong but said: “Go out and visit the company. Fine. You may like the company, you may they hate them, but don’t make your decision right way based on the visit alone.” – Andrew Stotz You can also check out Andrew’s Books How to Start Building Your Wealth Investing in the Stock Market My Worst Investment Ever 9 Valuation Mistakes and How to Avoid Them Connect with Phuong Nguyen LinkedIn Connect with Andrew Stotz astotz.com LinkedIn Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube My Worst Investment Ever Podcast Further reading mentioned: Retire Before Dad (2018) Liquor, Ladies, and Leverage: How Smart People Go Broke Warren E.

Phuong er en kreativ og mindfull sjel som har mange meninger om mye. Vi er kollegaer, men ble enda bedre kjent da han ved flere anledninger møtte opp på Stirsdag - en ukentlig stiløpe-session i Lillomarka med løpecrewet Sky Blazers. Etter at han vrikket foten der for andre gang har han ikke vært tilbake, så det var godt å få catchet litt opp. Bra dude, ass!
