The musical showman who scored some of the most indelible melodies of stage and screen is affectionately remembered in MARVIN HAMLISCH: WHAT HE DID FOR LOVE.
From humble beginnings as a Manhattan boy and son of Viennese Jews, Hamlisch was a child piano prodigy destined for greatness, having been accepted into the Juilliard School as a six-year-old. He quickly achieved unprecedented success as a composer of such pop hits as The Way We Were, scores for Hollywood films The Sting and Sophie's Choice, as well as the Broadway juggernaut A Chorus Line. By the age of 31, he had won every major award: a staggering four Grammys, an Emmy, three Oscars, a Tony and a Pulitzer Prize.
Interviews with Hamlisch, and a constellation of his collaborators – from Barbra Streisand and Carly Simon to Woody Allen and Lucie Arnaz – trace the creative and personal highs and lows of this consummate artist.
Tuesday January 20th. USA Fairhope Campus. 7PM.
About The Film
A superlative saga of courage and compassion, RUN BOY RUN tells the extraordinary true story of a Polish boy who seeks the kindness of others in his solitary struggle to outlast the Nazi occupation and keep alive his Jewish faith.
Escaping the Warsaw ghetto at the behest of his father, nine-year old Srulik (movingly portrayed by twin child actors Andrzej and Kamil Tkacz) flees to the woods. There, he learns to hide from SS patrols and scour for food, until loneliness and the harsh onset of winter drive him back to civilization. Taken in by a kindhearted farmer's wife (Elisabeth Duda), he is given shelter and a new identity. Passing himself off as Jurek, a Christian war orphan, the intrepid boy traverses the countryside from village to village, working as a farmhand under an ever-present threat of persecution. Some will help him survive and others will betray him. Just when it seems his childhood memories and identity could be lost forever, Jurek's harrowing journey culminates in a powerhouse conclusion and postscript.
An unforgettable cinematic experience featuring exceptional performances, arresting cinematography and transcendent musical score, RUN BOY RUN is directed by Oscar-winner Pepe Danquart and based on the bestselling Holocaust novel by Israeli author Uri Orlev.
About The Film
Gloria Z. Greenfield's powerful new documentary sets the record straight eloquently and comprehensively. It not only shows the undeniable historical connection between the Jewish People and the Land of Israel, but also succeeds in debunking all of the propaganda, myths and misinformation that have become accepted as truth by so many.
Director Eran Riklis (The Syrian Bride) gives the 1982 Lebanon War an unexpectedly humanistic and child-centric outlook in ZAYTOUN, the heartwarming story of a downed Israeli fighter pilot and Palestinian boy thrown together on a perilous trek.
Playing hooky with his fellow delinquents, and running wild through an overcrowded and chaotic Beirut refugee camp, the cocksure 12-year-old Fahed (Abdallah el Akal) defies authority while surviving the daily hardships of a warzone. His glum reality is shaken when an Israeli jet is shot down behind enemy lines, and the pilot, Yoni (Atlanta-born actor Stephen Dorff), is captured by PLO militants. His father killed in the Israeli airstrike, the newly orphaned boy suppresses his hatred to offer a deal: he will let Yoni go free if the pilot will help him cross the southern border where Fahed longs to fulfill his late father's dream of planting an olive tree at their ancestral village in Israel. Forced into an unlikely alliance, the would-be adversaries eventually find trust and friendship as they traverse the barren beauty of a war-ravaged land while dodging all forms of danger.
A People's Choice Award winner at the Toronto International Film Festival, ZAYTOUN probes the contested borders – physical, historical, personal – that divide Israelis and Palestinians.
This gripping documentary is a true-life wartime adventure story. In 1948, as five Arab nations prepared to invade Israel, a group of young men from around the globe volunteered to defend the new country. Many were World War II veterans from the US. Because of an embargo imposed by the Truman administration, Americans risked losing their citizenship by joining the fight. This remarkable film celebrates the pilots who laid the foundation for the Israeli Air Force. Special Guest: Nancy Spielberg, Producer
A dramatic clash of ecclesiastical politics and spiritual soul-searching, THE JEWISH CARDINAL is the remarkable true story of the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants who, while maintaining his Jewish identity, became leader of the French church and close confidant to the Pope.
Jean-Marie Lustiger (born Aaron) converted to Roman Catholicism as a teenager, later joining the priesthood and quickly rising within the ranks to become adviser to Pope John Paul II. A maverick outsider, he utilized his dual identity to advance Jewish-Catholic relations, a unique platform that earned him both friends and enemies. His allegiances are further tested by a Carmelite monastery operating within the walls of Auschwitz, the Holocaust death camp where his mother perished. Estranged from his father (Henri Guybet) who survived the war, Jean-Marie's cousin Fanny (Audrey Dana) becomes his only remaining family link.
Laurent Lucas brings intensity and heartache to his role as the cardinal who faces a crisis of faith, while Aurélien Recoing gives a tour de force portrayal of the reform-minded pontiff. Helmed by Ilan Duran Cohen and shot on location in Paris and Rome, this handsomely mounted historical biopic is winner of the Best French TV Grand Prix prize at the Festival de Luchon.
One of the most controversial Polish films ever made, AFTERMATH is a harrowing mystery-thriller based on the real-life cover-up of a Jewish massacre at the hands of Catholic Poles.
After decades living abroad in Chicago, Franek (Ireneusz Czop) is prompted to return to his ancestral family farm by news that his estranged younger brother Józef (Maciej Stuhr) has come into conflict with fellow villagers. Upon his arrival, Franek is greeted by seething hostility and escalating harassment from the local peasants. As they repair fraternal ties, the brothers literally uncover half-buried secrets of the past and disturbing historical clues that ultimately lead to an appalling revelation.
The first feature in a decade by acclaimed filmmaker Władysław Pasikowski, AFTERMATH sent shockwaves throughout Poland upon its release, forcing the country to confront a long history of virulent anti-Semitism. Nominated for seven Polish Academy Awards, with wins for Best Acting and Set Design, and winner of the Yad Vashem Chairman's Award at the Jerusalem International Film Festival.

Since the previous leg was a no-rest leg, teams immediately departed from the Pit Stop to continue racing.
Teams must travel by train to Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Upon arrival, teams will travel by tram to the vessel in the picture they received with their clue, with is Vessel 11 in Leuvehaven, where they will find departure times in the morning, where they will receive their next clue from the ship's captain. The earliest is 5:00 am and the latest at 6:30 am, with teams leaving 15 minutes apart.
Teams must travel on foot to Kop van Zuid and take a water taxi to the Kinderdijk Windmills to find their next clue.
The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock would have to find an exact duplicate of Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers placed around nearby windmills. If they find the correct duplicate, a miller will give them their next clue.
The Roadblock performers per team are underlined:
Teams must record their highest heart rate from the previous leg and their heart rate from this leg's Roadblock and subtract the difference. The solution will equal the number of tulips they will have to pick up and deliver to the Spakenburgermeisje, Dutch for 'the girl at Spakenburg', to receive their next clue.
Teams must travel by water taxi to Nolet Distillery to search for their next clue.
Choice A: Ship
Teams must travel by tram to Millennium Tower and using a training simulator, they had to navigate a simulation of Rotterdam Harbour in stormy weather to complete a two-part mission. The first part of the mission was to deliver a pilot to a ship. The second part was to go to the aid of a ship in distress. If their mission was completed in under five minutes, the captain would give them their next clue. However, if they failed the mission, teams had to try again.
Cindy & Rick, Denise & James Earl, Justin & Diana, Kelsey & Joey, Logan & Chris, and Tanner & Josh chose this task.

ICICI Bank launches digital wallet app Pockets
ICICI Bank on Tuesday announced the launch of its new Pockets digital wallet application in the country. With Pockets, ICICI is hoping to get a significant chunk of the growing wallet market, which already includes players like PayTM and Mobikwik.
According to the bank, the Pockets app is accessible to all consumers, whether you are an ICICI customer or not. All you have to do it is download it from Google Play, fund it from your existing bank account and start using it.
"Today's youth wants everything instantly, on the go. 'Pockets' addresses this need by allowing anyone to open an account on their mobile phone in an instant and start transacting immediately.

ICICI has noted that the no-frills nature of the Pockets wallet will only work for transactions lower than INR 10,000.

Bank Indonesia (BI) Governor Perry Warjoyo announced on Tuesday the revision of its gross domestic product (GDP) projection for 2019 to between 5 and 5.4 percent from its initial projection of between 5.1 and 5.5 percent.
The new midpoint projection is 5.2 percent.
"Economic growth will be supported by strong domestic spending and investment," Perry said in his speech at BI's annual meeting in Jakarta.
The projection considered the government's efforts to control imports and boost exports as well as increase tourist arrivals.
Meanwhile, inflation is estimated at 3.5 percent in 2019 on account of controllable market demand, volatile food and administered prices and the stable exchange rate of the rupiah.
The current account deficit was projected to decline to 2.5 percent of GDP from the current position of above 3 percent.
Credit growth is estimated at between 10 and 12 percent, while financing through third-party funds was expected to grow between 8 and 10 percent. (bbn)

ZANE KAHN reviews The Last Act of Harry Houdini at The Cockpit. The Last Act of Harry Houdini, written by Barry Killerby and directed by Ishwar Maharaj, is a drama that offers the audience an insight into the tormented and troubled interior of the famous illusionist, Harry Houdini. A man who built the foundation of his infamous career through his death-defying stunts, Houdini is shown throughout this exploratory tale as a seeker of truth; searching through the seedy world of mystics, mediums and seances to comprehend the reality and reasoning of mortality. The one-man play is set within the dramatic space of Houdini's dressing room. An area of intense privacy, the audience begins to understand how the world of Houdini revolves around this same setting. The mere props of a desk with a framed picture of Houdini's mother, a table and a chair are expertly used by Killerby to illustrate…Continue Reading
SOPHIE CUNDALL reviews Christopher Brett Bailey's This Is How We Die at Ovalhouse. This Is How We Die (and you very nearly do). It is not often you leave a show feeling physically sick. It is even rarer that this can be considered a positive outcome. Christopher Brett Bailey's This Is How We Die, however, achieves just this. In this piece that is driven entirely by language and voice acting, 'the tongue is a weapon, it is a whip,'you are certainly injured by the time you stumble out of the pitch dark finale. Cathartic is not a strong enough term. Performed by Bailey himself, perched on the edge of the vast hole left by the seminal play We Dig, the show punches you in the face as Bailey spits out words so fast that sometimes you wonder if he's switched into the post-apocalyptic language of A Clockwork Orange. You laugh,…Continue Reading
This Is How We Die.
ZANE KHAN reviews Mites at Tristan Bates Theatre. Mites, written by James Mannion and directed by Marcus Marsh, is a play that intends to illustrate the bleak nature of mental health through the lens of an absurdist drama. It is a psychological drama, dealing with issues of loneliness, mental health and emotional abuse under the eyes of two imposing male figures on the heroine of the piece. The play consists of three characters, all within the same dramatic setting of the living room area. Credit must be given to the set and costume designer, Cecilia Trono, for creating a setting that encapsulates the deteriorating nature of the vulnerable within the play. Ruth, played with conviction by Claire Marie Hall, is a lonely woman, abandoned by her husband, who lives with her anthropomorphic cat, Bartholomew. Richard Henderson's performance as Bartholomew is wry and witty; excellent in his ability to develop the…Continue Reading
PHYLLIS KOEHLER reviews Shotgun Carousel's Red Palace at The Vaults. When entering the musty dungeons of the Vaults Theatre, one might easily feel oneself transported into the decadent Vienna of Arthur Schnitzler's Dream Story. As soon as the spectator sets foot over the threshold into the underbelly of bustling Waterloo station, she is encircled by luring creatures in black and red veils, pressing masks into her hand and leading her to a decadent feast filled with jugglers, jesters, and acrobats. After a few moments of fin de siècle bliss, however, the spectator is bound to travel even further back in history, or, indeed, into the timeless realms of myth and archetype. On a balcony above the demonic minstrels, dangling from aerial silk strings to the tact of Shostakovich's Valse n. 2, the Drag-King-Evil-Prince of the enchanted kingdom reveals himself, boasting, Bluebeard-like, of his femicidal attainments and sending the audience, his subjects,…Continue Reading
Red Palace
VIVIENNE LEECH reviews Alfred Taylor Gaunt's Derrière on a G String at Sadler's Wells. Performed at Lilian Baylis Studio, Alfred Taylor-Gaunt's camp extravaganza Derrière on a G String lives up to the 'very fun, quite silly, and rather naughty' dance show it is billed to be. Comprising of a series of fast paced sketches that depict the trials of modern day life, framed against a background of classical music, the work effectively brings dance into the modern world, for a new generation. From the panicked state you end up in after realising that you cannot find your plane ticket at the airport, to the exaggerated dance that you try to suppress when in desperate need of the toilet. Derriere on a G String explores mundane aspects of everyday life in a comedic and relatable way. With similarly expressive body language and use of music that exaggerates movement in the style…Continue Reading
Derrière on a G String.
SOPHIE CUNDALL reviews Pandora's Door's 'Zeus on the Loose' at Fire, Vauxhall. This article contains references to racism, homophobia and ableism. Selling itself as a filthy, queer celebration-box of assorted cabaret acts and pulsing basslines, Zeus on the Loose sounds like a promising romp through the lands of Ancient Greece and the palace of the gods. The reality, however, in a grotty room under the pulsing lights of Fire, a nightclub in Vauxhall, doesn't quite live up to the hype. There are some undeniably funny moments, and some impressive contortions of both bodies in hoops and of vocal chords, but as whole, the show falls flat. Unfortunately, some aspects stray towards being downright offensive. The performers' clearly high level of skill, doesn't quite rescue it from leaving a rather bitter taste by the end. The show and performers' discipline is perhaps the root of some of the clunkier elements of…Continue Reading
Zeus on the Loose
MADDIE DUNN reviews Lesley Storm's play Black Chiffon at the Park Theatre. Lesley Storm's three-act play Black Chiffon has rarely been performed in the UK since its West End debut in 1949. This production, directed by Clive Brill and transferring from Frinton Summer Theatre, sees this engaging, intriguing and emotive script back in London at Park Theatre. Despite risking seeming dated, the production, with its dedicated cast and crew, proves that core values and sentimentalities concerning family life and relations, central to this play, are universal and consistent. The plot follows a respectable, wealthy family in the October of a post-war England. Housewife Abigail, played with precision and truth by Abigail Cruttenden, is the crux of this 'perfect' household. This responsibility feels even more pronounced as the wedding of her beloved son Roy (Jack Studden) to the delightful Louise (Jemima Watling) swiftly approaches. However, the façade of their familial purity and…Continue Reading
Black Chiffon
Sophie Parker reviews Cora Bissett's autobiographical play at Soho Theatre. Thousands of musicians have nearly made it, only to be forgotten seconds after they crash out of the music industry. Cora Bissett's '90's indie-rock band made it closer than most, but the ending of the band's story is still the same. Twenty-five years after Darlingheart were dropped by their record label, the lead singer Bissett has recorded her journey from teenage rocker to forty-something mother in this impressive play. Directed by Orla O'Loughlin, and currently at the Soho Theatre before going on to Sydney to wrap up its world tour, the one-act, ninety minute whirlwind elicits both audible laughter and audible sobs from its audience. The cast of four is simply incredible. All responsible for playing the demanding live music required for the show, often in character as members of well-known British bands, they carry off their roles with ease.…Continue Reading
What Girls are Made of
SOPHIE CUNDALL reviews UCL Drama Society's Romeo and Juliet. From the moment you walk in through the creaking doors of the 19th century gothic church in which UCL drama's Romeo and Juliet is staged, you know it will be something special, and quite unlike any other version of this canonic play. As you settle into a wooden pew, you're greeted with the soft sound of sobbing from a mascara-streaked face. The grief element of the play is immediately pronounced, particularly when you realise it's actually Benvolio on stage, not Juliet or her Romeo. This also nicely introduces another refreshing element to the piece: the casting tosses gender aside, a delightful, and actually quite Shakespearean, twist on the tale that adds to the plethora of modern approaches that make it a fresh and current version. The performance itself from the actors is incredibly captivating: the pace never drops, and they arguably…Continue Reading
Romeo and Juliet
NICK FERRIS reviews Anna X at VAULT Festival. Here is a play for the social media age: a frenetic rollercoaster ride of carefully curated Instagram updates, magazines and exhibitions where creative content is merely incidental, and Genesis, the invite-only 'Tinder for celebrities'. Dextrously squeezed into one hour by exciting up-and-coming director Daniel Raggett, Anna X captures the social milieu of New York's creative millennial elite, and the desperate young people attempting to break in. Interlaced narratives present Anna, a fearlessly confident new player on the city's art scene promising to champion new kinds of art and exhibition spaces, alongside Ariel, the founder of Genesis, who meets and falls in love with Anna one night at an absurdly-named 'immersive nightlife experience'. Both are newly arrived in New York, both intent on disrupting destinies their past lives dictated they should have followed. Ariel was set for life of liberal suburban conformity in San Francisco with…Continue Reading
Anna X
MADDIE DUNN reviews Freak at the Bloomsbury Studio. UCL's Viva La Vulva is a group consisting primarily of medical students who campaign to raise awareness of issues around women's health. Could there be a better group (and group name!) than this to perform Anna Jordan's Freak, a play which thoroughly and frankly questions female identity, sexuality and empowerment in the 21st century? Director Dr Pollyanna Cohen missed no opportunities, utilising the black-box studio to create an intimate setting which instantly alerted the audience to the heightened sexuality of the female image today: lingerie was strewn on the floor, a vibrator was placed conspicuously on the table downstage and, most strikingly, the back wall was plastered with posters of female models. Jordan's two characters – 15-year-old Leah (Phoebe Garthwaite) and 30-year-old Georgie (Agnes Dromgoole)– were enveloped, both literally and metaphorically, by the societal tendency to place female value on being overtly…Continue Reading
ENERZAYA GUNDALAI reviews the 24 February performances of the seventh ACT II Festival at the Arcola Theatre. A quick online search for the ACT II Festival floats many a promise to the theatre-goer: the largest ever inter-university theatrical collaboration in London, and new plays written by students that were developed under the nurturing wing of professional playwrights, including Sasha Hails and David Farr. Over 100 students and 15 universities were involved, creating 13 shows spread across 4 performances. Hosted at the award-winning, off West End Arcola Theatre, the potential of the fledgling writers, directors and actors seemed immense to me, as I arrived for the first matinee and evening performances. The themes the festival approached were modern and relevant: contemporary plays written by students for students. Certainly, no generation of playwrights before our own had as much to say about identity, gender fluidity and artificial intelligence. If the ACT II…Continue Reading

Anzaldúa's Border Crossings in contact with Indigenous Feminist Bridges
1 : University of Utah
The paper I propose is an examination of the way that Anzaldúa questions and attempts to deconstruct the inherent barriers and walls within the academy, epistemology, and society, and dismantle the structural impediments that shape knowledge production, dissemination, and inquiry. By the same token, Indigenous feminist alternative knowledge producers, often associated with the notions of building, nurturing, and sustaining bridges, have been engaged in a profound struggle to demystify, theorize, legitimize, and more centrally-position their epistemological framework and construction of identity. The paper will draw parallels between Anzaldúa and contemporary Indigenous voices.

Take nothing for granted,
for whenever you do
The "joy of enjoying"
is lessened for
you . . .
For we rob our own lives
much more than we know
When we fail to respond
or in any way show
Our thanks for the blessings
that daily are
ours . . .
The warmth of the sun,
the fragrance of flowers,
The beauty of twilight,
the freshness of dawn,
The coolness of dew
on a green velvet lawn,
The kind little deeds
so thoughtfully done,
The favors of friends
and the love that someone
Unselfishly gives us
in a myriad of ways,
Expecting no payment
and no words of
praise . . .
Oh, great is our loss
when we no longer find
A thankful response
to things of this kind,
For the joy of enjoying
and the fullness of living
Are found in the heart
that is filled with

I Thank You Lord

A nationwide strike by public-sector workers in
has caused serious disruption to travellers and bank customers. Greece
The General Confederation of Greek Workers (GSEE), the country's biggest labor grouping with about 1m members, called the strike as a protest against a draft tax bill which it says infringes workers' rights.
The bill would reduce unions' role in the running of state-owned firms.
Unionists claimed the strike was an overwhelming success and said they would consider another next week.
"If the government wants a break with the unions, then it shall have it," GSEE president Christos Polyzogopoulos was quoted as saying.
During the 24-hour walkout all public transport was closed, most Olympic Airways flights were grounded and post offices, state television and state banks shut down.
Commuter traffic in
was thrown into chaos with journeys taking more than twice the usual time. Athens
Rioting over harsh austerity measures left three people dead in a torched Athens bank and clouds of tear gas drifting past parliament, in an outburst of anger that underlined the long and difficult struggle
faces to stick with painful cutbacks that come with an international bailout. Greece
The deaths were the first during a protest in
in nearly 20 years. Greece
Fear that the bailout won't stop the debt crisis from spreading to other financially troubled EU countries like
Portugal and Spain intensified amid the violence Wednesday, as credit ratings agency Moody's put on watch for a possible downgrade. Portugal
Brussels, EU officials desperately tried to calm market fears that 's debt crisis was spreading, insisting it was a "unique case" combining profligacy and tampered accounts. EU President Herman Van Rompuy insisted the growing debt problems in Greece Spain and Portugal had "absolutely nothing to do with the situation in ." Greece
is a unique and particular case in the EU" because of its "precarious debt dynamics" and because it "has cheated with its statistics for years and years," EU Commissioner Olli Rehn said. Greece
German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged lawmakers on Wednesday to speedily approve their country's share of the loans to
. As Europe's largest economy, Greece will provide euro8.4 billion ($10.8 billion) in 2010 and up to euro14 billion ($18.1 billion) more over 2011 and 2012, according to the plan. Germany
"Nothing less than the future of Europe, and with that the future of
Germany in Europe, is at stake," Merkel told lawmakers. "We are at a fork in the road."
Merkel's government had insisted that
Greece agree to new austerity measures before committed to financial assistance — a stance that drew criticism of foot-dragging. Merkel had appeared to want to delay action until after a local vote in Germany this Sunday, but ratings agency Standard and Poor downgraded Greek bonds to junk status last week, deepening the crisis. Germany
The shocks from
have shaken world markets and raised questions about whether the rally in stocks since they hit bottom in March 2009 can continue. Greece
David Joy, chief market strategist for Columbia Management, a U.S. manager of $341 billion in stocks, bonds, cash and other investments, warned against complacency over the U.S. economic recovery and said this week's events in Greece and Europe "should serve as a reminder that the ramifications of the financial crisis are still being felt."
"Most of these lingering problems relate to the fact that excessive amounts of debt have been accumulated prior to the financial crisis. It's going to take time for these to be worked through," he said.
The outcome is a flight to safety, in which the dollar rises and money leaves riskier and economically more sensitive assets such as stocks and commodities.
Even with the bailout, some economists think
could eventually default on or restructure its debts because economic growth is expected to be poor over the next several years, hurting government revenue. Some also fear the austerity measures insisted upon by the EU and IMF could make prospects for growth even worse in the name of paying down debt. Greece
The new austerity measures are to be voted on in Parliament Thursday. The Socialists hold a comfortable majority and the bill is expected to pass.

Are you thinking about implementing a mobile or social strategy to connect with your organization's employees "anytime, anywhere?" If not, consider it a big missed opportunity.
Your employees — just like your customers — are active on their mobile devices, engaging in valuable conversations via social media, with or without your participation.
Today, with so many organizations challenged to capture their employees' attention, mobile technology and social media present a unique and powerful opportunity for communicators, particularly with the growing millennial workforce. We can look to several brands that are leading the way in engaging employees real-time using social media, and leveraging mobile apps and text message platforms to connect with front-line workers. Companies such as Starbucks, UPS, HSBC Bank, and MGM Grand Hotels have lively platforms for connecting with employees and are active in promoting employee interests, success stories and even discounts using authentic, bite-sized content.
At North Shore-LIJ — one of the country's leading healthcare organizations and New York's largest private employer with more than 50,000 employees — we are testing the waters on social media and plan to launch a mobile app in 2015. With a frontline workforce caring for patients around the clock, we simply can't afford to continue relying on traditional communications for connecting with employees. Statistically, more than 80 percent of our incoming workforce is comprised of millennials (i.e., those born between 1980 and 2000) and the majority bring their smart phones to work. On average, North Shore-LIJ hires 100 employees a week – nearly 5,000 a year – which equates to 10% of our total workforce. What this means is that in roughly 10 years, the organization will be dominated by millennials and Gen-Xers and by then, mobile and cloud usage will become the business norm.
While our SharePoint-based Intranet tucked behind a firewall serves a purpose, it is not yet accessible via mobile and it can't compete with the conversational appeal of social media (I say this even though we recently invested in a SharePoint upgrade and are debuting a redesigned Intranet in the first quarter of 2015). However, what this reflects is the need for a diversified communications platform customized to the target audiences you serve. There's no one-size-fits-all approach and that's why we are trying new tools and leveraging technology with which our employees are already accustomed in their personal lives.
After surviving Hurricanes Irene and Sandy, and more recently, handling Ebola preparedness communications, my team has gleaned some valuable lessons about how to reach our employees. Case in point: After Hurricane Sandy our organization set up an emergency resource hotline and website to help hundreds of employees displaced by the storm. We sent dozens of emails and posted video messages from our CEO offering help. But with technology gaps and intermittent Internet accessibility, what we learned was that we were essentially talking to ourselves. We were not using social media to reach our staff, and that's when we realized there's a legitimate business need to connect with our workforce real-time.
Without a mobile-accessible Intranet or an easy access email platform in place, it only makes sense that we have turned to social media to start and join employee conversations. Not surprisingly, we have seen some early successes. Recently our team took to Twitter to alert employees about the new Ebola preparedness guidelines and training being offered. By giving our employees genuine and useful content– and by having leaders engage on the new channels, we're embracing the much-needed culture change to communicate with our workforce. And this is just the beginning. With the power of a mobile app, I believe we'll be able to drive even more connectivity among our 50,000 employees who crave instant access to content on their smart phones.
The firewall that communicators have been stuck behind is about to burn down. Better get your hose out.

A recent exhibition in Hà Nội brings audiences the work of eight photographers from France and Việt Nam who have shot images of contemporary dancers in the two countries.
The Regards Croisés (Common Viewpoint) exhibition is curated by the Vietnamese freelance photographer Nguyễn Kiều Linh, who has studied in France for six years. This exhibition is a sequel to another exhibition curated by Linh during the Dance Biennale 2016 in Lyon, France.
The 24 year-old student spoke with Bạch Liên.
How did you get the idea to organise this photo exhibition in France? And after, to bring it to Việt Nam?
I have been passionate about photography for a long time. And one day, I had the occasion to meet dancers and work with them in France as part of my photography studies at the Condé School in France.
Dance and photography are two specialties of Lyon City, where I live. I am also a member of the Young Ambassador Association of the Auvergne- Rhône-Alpes region. To become a member, I had to take part in a contest in which I have to be able to show to others the best of Lyon City. All candidates have to think of projects which help further promote the culture of the city.
And then, I thought of combining those two specialties of Lyon in a photo exhibition. I also wanted to showcase in this event the best photos of some young and talented Vietnamese photographers capturing scenes of dance spectacles in Việt Nam. My objective is to connect the cultures of France and Việt Nam.
This project started with a photo exhibition which was organized in two community centres of Lyon in September 2016. After that, I brought this project to Hà Nội, at the French cultural centre, which is an ideal venue at which to promote the cultures of two countries.
In the near future, I will bring the exhibition to other parts of Lyon. And I also wish to bring it to HCM City.
The exhibition showcases photos of contemporary dance by French and Vietnamese artists. What do you see as the commonalities and differences between contemporary dance in France and in Việt Nam?
French dancers use very simple costumes. They tell stories by using different facial expressions and the stage lights.
But in Việt Nam, artists pay much attention to preserving the national identity. So the traditional costumes and the familiar materials like bamboo are often used.
The common point in those two countries is that they both have enthusiastic dancers full of energy, willing to make sacrifices for the art. And they have photographers who do their best to capture the most valuable scenes of dance performances.
You are a very young student but you managed to organize a meaningful project abroad. Did you meet any specific difficulties in organizing this event?
I am actually third-year student in the photography specialty at the École de Condé – an art design school in Lyon.
It's the first time I have organized an exhibition, but I tried my best to do things as professionally as I could. As I can see, the most important thing in working in France is to establish a plan early and make contact with partners as early possible, to be well prepared for the project. What is the most difficult is the financial question. I called for support from different people of different regions through crowdfunding. And I was proud that I could find sponsors. This facilitated my organisation of the event.
And to make this exhibition a success, I had to rely a lot on the support of many friends and my family.
Did it take you lot of time to invite French and Vietnamese artists to take part in this exhibition?
I got to know them through my contacts and through my research about the Dance Biennale in Lyon. Luckily they were very enthusiastic, ready to send photos, support my project, and offer me the opportunity to show off my artistic skills in selecting the photos on display.
I know that you have two passions: dance and photography. Do you want to become a photographer specializing in taking photos of dance?
I once had opportunity to take photos of a dance show which was held at my school. I was very interested in it. But to be able to pursue my aims, I still have to study a lot of things in the future.
I know you study at two universities in Lyon and take part in several outside projects. How do you manage to do so many things at the same time?
I began my project in November 2015, when I was doing my final year of economics at the Lumière Lyon 2 University and the first year of the photography specialty at the Ecole de Condé. At that time, I also worked extra jobs to earn money for my living in Lyon. Now, I only focus on my studies of photography, so I have time to look after the project better. I do not have any secrets, but my achievements now are due to my hard work. I am determined to pursue my passions and challenge myself. And I am lucky because I get lots of support from my acquaintances, friends and family.—VNS

Decreasing food waste
October 22, 2018
The bell rings and you're rushing off to lunch, trying to be the first in line. You wait…and wait… and then you're finally there ready to get your food. The cafeteria employee tries to speak to you but you don't hear her because you are listening to your favorite song on the highest volume. She tries again, but you still can't hear. Then, finally, you realize and take a headphone out. The rest of the line runs smoothly as you approach the end. You argue with yourself about if your mom put money in your lunch account or not. You type in your lunch pin and wait anxiously. Then you are told that you are charging. You then respond with "I'll bring in my money tomorrow." Have you ever thought how many students respond with this?
The cafeteria employees are the ones that prepare lunch and cook it. They also give students everything that they request. They work periods in a row preparing food and coffee for students as well as getting students through the line and then doing it again the next day.
When speaking with the cafeteria employees they made some points that need to be considered. When you do something repeatedly over and over again, there are going to be consequences.
Newcomers might not know this but last year the school had ketchup packets. Now you might be wondering, Where did they go? Well, last year students would abuse the 'luxury' of the ketchup packets. Some kids would take ketchup packets for no reason and step on them or squirt them everywhere which left the janitors with a bigger mess to clean up then they already have.
Throughout last year the school stopped providing ketchup to the students because of that incident. Now they use squirt bottles so that no ridiculous messes can be made.
As cited in Forbes, "American consumers waste about one pound of food per day, or 225-290 pounds per year."
One way to avoid food waste is to tell the cafeteria employees that you don't want a specific item. This way the item is available for people who want it.
Despite last year's ketchup incident, Pam Eyre, one of the cafeteria employees, said, "…for the most part we are very grateful and they are very nice kids…"

Samples sent for feature
Holiday Gift Guide feature: Built New York
I have a few carryall bags I use for certain functions. I can carry drinks and snacks on our sports snack day for the teams, I can stash shopping items when on a spree instead of carrying multiple bags or even use it to pack essentials for a day on the beach or park. But until my City Carryall from BuiltNY, none of mine were suitable for this Seattle weather.
Once I fell in love with the design, material and quality of my new bag I knew how perfect of a gift this could make for others. This design I have is called plum dot. The City Carryall also comes in black and granite.
There is so much space inside. Whether you need to stash food or essentials, this bag holds a lot. The zipper area also pulls up for the days you may be a tad overpacked. There is also a zippered internal pocket to keep items like money, cell or keys in an easy-to-reach compartment.
Built New York prides itself on their products durability and resistance to spills and splashes with the neoprene it uses. Neoprene also protects in drops and bumps and is not a heavy material so it will protect without weighing you down.
At Built you can find gifts from bags and totes to six pack carriers and wine and bar bags. Coming real soon is a Go Go Baking Dish carrier that will be great for entertaining.

ปริญญาตรี สาขา Geological Engineering, Colorado School of Mines' 2020
Having a clear goal with an applicable approach is an important aspect to govern Thailand into the right direction effectively. However, it is challenging to see real issues through the eyes of the people who are not actually facing harsh struggles. With that being said, it is not easy to solve the problems that are not well-defined.
What exactly are the real problems in Thailand? Frankly, they all cannot thoroughly be listed. However, the first and fundamental issue I would like to address is the educational system in Thailand. This is the most basic yet crucial problem that is ruining all the systems in the country. Poor education affects how people think and behave,especially a majority of Thai children do not have a chance to have access to a proper education. As a matter of fact, the educational system is not standardized. Many schools do not have enough educated teachers and other facilities like textbooks, computers, and laboratory equipment. Therefore, we need to give more incentives for teachers in rural areas and try to have a standard for everyone. Moreover, teachers need to motivate children to think critically and get hands-on experiences, and not just tell them what to do but never give them an opportunity to express their thoughts. The students are told to follow directions without any questions; actually, they are even told what jobs are good (of course, the well-paid jobs). Encouraging children to question, letting them try and learn in their own way, and understanding that we are all unique would help them navigate their future as well as prepare them to the real world.
Better educational systems create higher quality humans who contribute good to the society. This would help develop the country in many ways such as the economy, health care, technology. The educational system is a severe problem in Thailand because it is potentially destroying the whole country. We need to realize the problem, accept it, and fix it in the best way that will help the people of Thailand.

Earlier today, i was on HEAL's website (www.happilyeverafterleague.org), and it hit me how difficult it must be to be a MOTHER going through cancer treatment. There are days i am too weak, or sick, or sad to get out of bed … but moms don't have that luxury of just lying around, immersing in their weakness, or sickness, or sadness. They have little ones depending on them to be fed, clothed, and cared for. Their children's lives depend on them to be parents, regardless of whether cancer pops up in the mix … and *sometimes* these womyn have to bear this responsibility without the help of another parent.
* * *
While my situation is painful and scary, it doesn't come close to what others have to go through. I'm trying to keep that in mind this week.
(Pre-blog side-note: That website front page for AZ Cardiology is kind of ridiculous. Maybe it's just me … but look at it. I mean, really look at it, Notice anything just … off… about any part of it?)
8:19. I know i am late – by four minutes. Normally, i'd be all harried and apologetic … but cancer has seriously impacted my daily pace and pretty much everything i try to do; i no longer seem to feel guilty when i am late anymore. I check in but don't get too comfortable; i anticipate them calling me back for my echocardiogram any moment.
8:30. I look around at the almost empty waiting room and wonder what's taking so long. Maybe i am being punished, for being late. My dentist does that. Whenever i am early or on time, i get sent into one of the rooms right away … but when i am late, there is always a 10-30 minute wait. It's passive-aggressive, but i don't blame them; i am pretty sure i would do the exact same thing if i were a doctor, and my patients were late to my appointments.
8:46. "Miss Ashburn?"
There's no "h" in my name, but that's cool. I've heard it all my life. Hooked on Phonics didn't work for everyone.
I follow the technician into a room and proceed to change into a 3XL dressing gown. Pink. Again. This makes the third time.
I wonder if they give males blue gowns. I ponder what they would say if i brought my own dressing gown with me. (I have two. They're my size, and they're pretty. I wore one for my mastectomy and will wear the other for my reconstructive surgery in a few months.)
I lay down and stick my head inside the slightly enclosed part of the machine. I wait. for minutes. I think about getting up and grabbing my phone to track how long this will take. I wonder why i care; i am in absolutely no hurry to get to work. I pass time by recalling the 87-point word i played in the waiting room on my Words With Friends game, criticizing myself for playing that word but STILL being behind in the game. I have a coughing spasm, and my nose starts to run; i wipe it on the dressing gown because i have no tissue with me. I end up being glad that i didn't bring my own gown after all.
Seriously, what time is it?!
The technician comes in and starts fiddling with the machine. I hear some noises. I can't, for the life of me, remember how my last echocardiogram went. I don't even remember when it was. Was it before chemo started? How long does it take? What's the difference between an EKG and an echocardiogram again? Why can't i seem to remember any of this???
More time passes. Slowly. Suddenly, from inside the machine, i hear the technician pipe up. "Either there's something wrong with you, or there's something wrong with the machine."
"That's not funny," i instantly reply.
"Um… hello?"
It turned out there was something wrong with the machine, so i had to reschedule for tomorrow. Twelve hours later, as i sit here typing this, i am *still* wondering what the heck is wrong with some of these medical personnel. Last month, i had that Lab Corp lady tell me all about her parent dying of cancer as she's doing my blood work for chemo, and now i have this AZ Cardiology technician making jokes about my heart when there is actually a serious risk of heart complications from taking Perjeta.
I mean, seriously lady – CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE is a potential risk of this chemo drug. It's serious enough that my oncologist has required that i get echocardiograms each month for the duration of treatment, and you think that it's a good idea to be cracking jokes about my well-being while i am inside of your ultrasound machine?
Throughout this whole ordeal, i have procrastinated in telling people about my cancer. For a month, i discussed it with no one, except for the lucky/unlucky/unusually observant individual who found the lump in the first place. I waited to tell my roommates until two days before my mastectomy. I waited to tell my parents until i was already in the recovery room at the hospital. I waited to tell my coworkers until *after* i was out on FMLA. I waited to tell close friends for as long as i could get away with them not knowing, and there are still so many people from my childhood, my high school, and my college years whom i haven't told.
Nikita and i went to Red Thai restaurant. It's an awesome place in a not-so-awesome part of town: 12th Street and Northern. Phoenicians – go there. It's amazing food.
Nikita and i were reading over the menu, appreciating the live person mixing music, when i happened to see a very familiar face.
Jessica Cataldo.
haven't told her
don't want to tell her
don't want to see her
don't want to hear her
don't want to tell her.
Nikita switched seats with me, and i spent the rest of the dinner (1) burning holes and sores in my mouth from the all-of-a-sudden-too-spicy-for-me-to-handle Thai dishes, (2) watching her coke friends head back and forth in a steady single file line to and from the bathroom, and (3) cringing every time i heard her nasal voice dominating the conversation. It kind of put a damper on the ambience of dinner … but, when all was said and done, i was relieved for being able to avoid having that "coming out with cancer" conversation to yet another person.
Back out into the public Nikita and I ventured, this time for stuffed french toast at Cafe Zu Zu. The place was packed; who doesn't love spending their Saturday afternoon with Mimosa/Bloody Mary bars, food prepared by an award-winning chef, and the option of lounging all day by a saltwater pool? We were both excited to being coming back here again together, even if it had been too too long since our last trip to this place. In fact, i was so excited that i did some things that, in normal circumstances, i would have scoffed at the mere suggestion:
I checked in at Facebook.
I took selfies.
I uploaded them and tagged people.
I know, i know. This is routine, everyday stuff. It's also not me – not usually. And it was only after i channeled my giddiness into a post on social media … and after the comments and Messenger emails quickly started pouring in that i realized what i had done:
I just told the Internet that Tarah Ausburn has cancer.
It's a day later. In the last 23 hours, I have had several in-depth conversations with some people from my past: my Summer of 1999 All-time Favorite person, whose emails starting with "hello, sport" still get me close to 20 years later; the Stetson hallmate with a mesmerizing singing voice and the willingness to sleep in my dorm room to protect me from crazy ex-roommates; the twinkle-eyed girl i slept, chanted, and protested beside in a 10-day sit-in during my final days at Penn State; the ex that permanently, drastically, incredibly changed my whole worldview on sex and gender; the Dinah Shore fling that took me years to get over; and the former student/T.A. who used to push my buttons more than any other student i taught "on the outs." Some of these conversations were brief; others lasted hours. Every single one of them had me crying at some point.
Throughout this whole ordeal … frequently … like, on a daily freaking basis, I keep getting reminded that i am loved. I don't know why i keep forgetting in the first place.
This was, by far, the worst session of chemo. I knew it would be; i said as much going into it. There were a combination of factors:
Luckily, in this absolute agony, there is one thing that brings a continual joy to my face: these goddamned pets.
This week threw me for a couple of curves – both medically and interpersonally. I'm just going to totally avoid dealing with the interpersonal stuff for a little while longer and instead just report on the medical matters.
(warning: spoiler alert)
I've never watched Grey's Anatomy in my life. I don't have any fiercely charged opposition to it … but considering the fact that i can get queasy when someone starts talking about veins or blood or intestines for more than five seconds, i figure it's a safe decision to stay away from this particular show – no matter how many people and awards ceremonies give it props. However, i was totally drained from my first full week back to work, so when Hulu's autoplay transitioned from How To Get Away With Murder to Grey's Anatomy, i was – quite frankly – too lazy to get off my bed to turn the show off.
Somebody please tell me WHY – out of ALL the episodes from TWELVE SEASONS of that show – i just happen to watch the episode where someone fucking *dies* because their port implant (the one they had put in for their cancer treatment) got infected. First, Steph on The Fosters gets diagnosed with the same exact type of cancer i had, prompting her to have to get a double mastectomy … and now, four weeks later, i find myself once again dropping to the ground and bawling at some new fictional TV show character finding out she's cancer-free after ten months of treatment (only to then turn around and die from an unexpected port infection). I'm watching my life's events – real and imagined – play out on TV. It fucking sucks.
I think i'll go get that *second* bowl of triple-flavored ice cream now.
There was a time i thought i would never stop having to come out of the closet. When i first identified as bisexual-then-lesbian-then-queer-then-stop-putting-me-in-a-box-goddamnit, the Internet was alive and well … but it was pre-MySpace and pre-Facebook. In other words, it was well before the days of just putting all your business out there in an instantaneous post (a post that might end up ruining your day if you didn't get enough likes or comments). To share information with people, you actually had to TALK with them (gasp!) – and face to face, no less! It took me decades to come out to *myself,* then months to share the news with all the particularly important relatives and friends, then years to tell the rest of the people who dangled on the fringes of my world. Coming out was …
* sometimes excitedly reinforced (thank you, Womyn's Concerns and Lambda Student Alliance);
* sometimes tear-inducing (except my grandmother already knew, so I'm not sure why i was crying);
* sometimes infuriating (my dad asked if i was going through a phase, even though i was twenty effin years old) (guys thought that gave them free reign to offer me opportunities to have three-ways with them and their girlfriends);
* sometimes disappointing (I misjudged the open-mindedness of a few of the people in my life); and
* mostly just a temporary inconvenience that ends up not being that big of a deal.
Regardless of the outcome, the point was that the process never really stopped. There are always people coming in and out of my life – both new faces and old – that require me to have that conversation with them.
It turns out that i get to start this process all over again in regards to having cancer.
It's kind of a pain in the ass.
I have this urge to have T-shirts and announcement cards made: "Ta-da! It's cancer. Now stop staring." and "How the fuck do you *think* I'm feeling?" and "I am not the least bit interested in hearing about your _______ who has cancer." I know that sounds mean. On other days, i have cared more about that. Today is one of those days i really don't. I understand that people are trying to relate or give support or just fill the void of awkward silence, but it gets exhausting.
… except, apparently, when i tell little kids.
Let me set the stage.
I'm washing dishes. The sliding glass door in my living room is open, so i can hear the kids playing in the park. I like to listen to them. My dog doesn't. She barks not-so-ferociously whenever any of them get too close to my fence, which apparently is happening right now. I towel-dry my hands and venture out into my backyard to silence the unnecessary yip-yips that might wake my nightshift-working-roommate. Two little girls are clearly arguing with each other behind some bushes, far enough away from the group of kids to let me know that they're having a private conversation. I'm nosy, so when i pick up my dog, i walk closer to the kids to see what they're arguing about. I listen to their words, and i observe the flies and the paper towels crumpled on the ground. The younger girl had pooped on the ground and unsuccessfully tried to clean up after herself. The older girl was ordering her to go home. The younger girl was crying and walking away, alone. The other kids started putting in their two cents about what had happened and what the older girl should do. They were not coming to a resolution.
Most people would just head back into their house and let the neighborhood kids work it out (or not). And then there's me. What do i do? I put on my Instructor Ausburn hat, walk out to the park with some rubber gloves and a trash bag, and gently but firmly direct the older sister to go check on her younger sister to make sure she got home safely, then return to the park to help me clean up the mess behind my house. I would have bet money that the older sister wasn't coming back, but i still sat down on the park bench and had a conversation with the other kids about NOT teasing the park pooper the next day in school.
"She's probably really embarrassed."
They nod – maybe in agreement, maybe just to placate me. Then, a brave girl about six or seven pipes up. "What happened to your hair?"
So forthright that i couldn't even be angry at her. "I have cancer."
"Oh! I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I'm gonna make it. I'm taking medicine, but it made my hair fall out."
"Oh. My hair's down to here."
"My hair used to be that long."
And just like that, the conversation about cancer was over, and we talked about hair and tag and recess while we waited for the older sister to return. And she DID. And she held the trash bag while i picked up the feces of a 6-year-old i've never met before in my life, and i told her that i was proud of her for being responsible and doing the right thing by coming back to the park. And she admitted that her sister was home crying, and i requested that she not tell the other kids that because they might make fun of her. And she agreed. And i told her that she was a good older sister to have around.
So, to sum it all up, today i learned that i would rather pick up fly-infested, paper-towel-smeared feces in a park while talking to little kids in a park about hair loss than have the cancer conversation day after day with adults.

The culture ministry announced that state bodies have thoroughly understood and gained valuable experience from the management and conservation of the Central Sector of Thang Long – Ha Noi Imperial Citadel.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's announcement on Tuesday was based on the conclusion reached by Deputy Minister Dang Thi Bich Lien during a recent meeting with the concerned authorities and parties.
According to the deputy minister, the reality is that the ongoing construction of the new National Assembly House and the Ba Dinh Conference Hall has affected the World Heritage site of the Imperial Citadel.
The ministry's announcement follows a petition submitted by the associations of Historical Sciences, Cultural Heritage and Archaeologists, and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre's request for verification and more information concerning the construction which is being done close to the archaeological site on 18 Hoang Dieu Street.
To deal with the issue immediately, Deputy Minister Lien demanded the establishment of a task force to address the problems mentioned in the associations' petition, and asked the municipal People's Committee to check and clarify the accountability of every unit which is presiding over the management and conservation of the Imperial Citadel.
The Conservation Centre of Thang Long-Ha Noi Vestige has been asked to improve its co-ordination with the construction project's management board, and to assign officials to supervise the construction work which is likely to affect the heritage site.
The deputy minister also said that excavation pits should be promptly covered with sand and the area belonging to the archaeological site should be cleaned.
The concerned parties have been asked to meet between Wednesday and Sunday and finalise measures to resolve the issue within these five days. The proposals will then be submitted to the Government for consideration before an official reply is sent to the three associations.

Good to the last drop?
I was recently asked at a speaking event why I've been so vocal about not liking grass in the yard. The reason I'm not a fan of grass is not the plant, but the homeowners that care for it. Grass requires more time, money and resources than anything else we can have in our outdoor spaces. Especially when it comes to water.
According to The Conference Board of Canada (Jan, 2013), Canadians are at the bottom of a global ranking for water usage per person, just above the U.S. On a daily basis, Canadians use up to 327 litres of water per person and our water use increases by almost 40 per cent in spring due to the watering of lawns and gardens. Most Canadians live in areas that get regular rainfall and drought really doesn't happen that often so it's hard for the average person to buy into the idea that there is a shortage. We have lots, and it's cheap so we use it without any real concern. We see a brown lawn or a dried out plant and the first thing any homeowner does is grab the sprinkler.

The wheels are turning for Durham Regional Chair candidates who are speaking out about improving local transportation issues.
The candidates for the Durham Regional Chair in the Oct. 22 election are John Henry, the current mayor of Oshawa; Thomas Dingwall, Durham Regional Police officer and former homicide detective; John Mutton, former mayor of Clarington, Muhammad Ahsin Sahi, business and real estate lawyer, and Peter Neal, who works in industrial, commercial, investment real estate.
The winner will take over from Gerri-Lyn O'Connor, who held the job on an interim basis after long-time chair Roger Anderson passed away in March.
Improving Durham Region Transit bus routes and efficiency were discussed by the candidates at a recent forum.
Durham College students receive a Durham Region Transit (DRT) bus pass as part of their tuition.
But the system isn't working well for all, Henry says.
"We have a problem that the (DRT) Pulse route doesn't connect into Courtice and Bowmanville," says Henry, addressing routes in the eastern part of Durham. "We also have a challenge in the north trying to maximize efficient transit."
Henry says transit officials and the public should be consulted frequently in order to resolve any issues.
"We don't ask you, we don't participate enough with the public, this is your life, your business, your community, you should have a part and say in how we do things," he says.
"The difficulty is…you can use the gas tax to subsidize a new route for up to a year, but after that, the route has to be self-sustaining, so if you don't have the ridership the route will fail," says Dingwall.
Working with UOIT and Durham College to coordinate bus schedules with student scheduling is one of the plans Dingwall has to improve transit.
"It is unreasonable for students to spend hours on a bus or transferring to multiple buses to get to their schools," says Dingwall.
"We are not doing enough on the Durham Region transit end," says Mutton. "We need to take a full-service review of our transit system, bring in the experts maybe from the TTC."
He thinks the way to increase ridership and get more routes established is to make transit more appealing.
"We can increase ridership by making kids ride free, we also need to decrease the student fares."
Ahsin Sahi believes students shouldn't have to pay for transit.
"If you are a student, no matter what age you are, you should have a free pass."
All of the candidates also have plans to fix the tolls on Highway 407 connector highways.
The Hwy. 407 has two connector highways in the Durham Region, Hwy. 412 and Hwy. 418. However, they are the only two connector highways along the 407 to have tolls on them.
Henry says he's frustrated the tolls have been put on the highways and they're "asking that those tolls be removed."
"It's a matter of fairness, none of the other feeder highways to the 407 are toll roads, only the ones in Durham Region. Why are we being treated differently?" says Dingwall. "Everybody should be advocating to remove those tolls, they should've never been put on in the first place."
Mutton has a different approach.
"If they're not going to be making them toll free, what I would like to do with the connectors in Durham region is that we get some type of a revenue source for the region coming out of it," Mutton says.
Ahsin Sahi says the toll roads are in the hands of the provincial government and there isn't much to be done at the municipal level.
"Of course I would support the removal of any tolls. But, it's a very provincial issue," says Ahsin Sahi.

Ever heard of a Philanthropist? Sure you have. Our newest design to raise funds for the Flint Child Health & Development fund is FLINTANTHROPIST. A sure conversation starter and great way to show your support to the tragedy that we are dealing with in Flint, Michigan. If you haven't heard by now The Flint water crisis is a drinking water contamination crisis in Flint, Michigan that started in April 2014. After Mr. Snyder changed the source from treated Detroit Water to the Flint River our drinking water had a series of problems that culminated with lead contamination creating a serious public health danger. The corrosive Flint River water has caused between 6,000 and 12,000 children have severely high levels of lead in their blood and they are experiencing a range of serious health problems. Thousands of citizens and helpless children are now poisoned and continue to live with the contaminated water. Many sources have come to Flint with bottled water but we still need help. We know the needs of Flint children exposed to lead, particularly those most vulnerable – children ages 0-6 – are ongoing and long-term. When you make a donation to the Flint Child Health & Development Fund, you can be assured that your gift will be used for critical interventions today and well into the future. 100% of the proceeds will benefit The Flint Child Health & Development Fund.
