Brain: The Inside Story
Through August 14, 2011
American Museum of Natural History
Admission: $24 ($14 for children), www.amnh.org
It is easy to identify a rose by sight and sometimes even by touch—but you might be surprised at how few people can identify it by scent. On February 23, when attendees of the sold-out lecture "Smell (and Taste) the Roses" at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City—an accompaniment to the museum's new Brain: The Inside Story exhibit—were asked to blindly identify the scent of a rose, only seven out of 105 people did so correctly. Some of the other guesses: wood, molasses, beeswax and papaya. "People differ in how they perceive many, if not all, odors," explained perfume expert and speaker Mandy Aftel. "Everyone's olfactory world is a unique, private world."
The evening's event, which included talks by Northwestern University neurologist Jay Gottfried and New York Times columnist and food author Harold McGee, ended up as a haphazard but fascinating introduction to the confusing world of olfaction and taste. Even though we are not terribly good at identifying scents, key behaviors such as hunting, maternal bonding and mating choice "all have odors at their heart," Gottfried said. Animals "largely depend on smell for their survival." One possible reason we struggle to name scents, Aftel suggested, could be because the olfactory parts of the brain are far from its language centers.
In addition, Gottfried explained, our perception of what we smell is strongly affected by our expectations. Case in point: when Gottfried uncorked a bottle of what he described as a smelly yellow liquid and asked the audience to raise their hands when they began to smell something, dozens did—only to find out later that the liquid was simply dyed water. "We are very susceptible to external clues and expectations about what we should smell," Aftel said.
So why is smell so complicated? Part of the reason is that it is closely tied to our emotions. As Gottfried described, the olfactory system projects directly to the amygdala and the limbic system, regions responsible for mitigating emotions and behavior, which are complex and largely unique to an individual. With so much still to learn about human odor perception, be prepared for more surprises.

TGICA members for the 5th Assessment Round appointed. (08/06/2010)
User survey results available. (20/07/2009)
Data in spreadsheet format now available: observed and projected climatologies. (15/04/2009)
The DDC has been established to facilitate the timely distribution of a consistent set of up-to-date scenarios of changes in climate and related environmental and socio-economic factors for use in climate impacts assessments. The intention is that these new assessments can feed into the review process of the IPCC (Full page).
Several documents providing technical guidance or summarising information held on the DDC are downloadable from this site. They constitute IPCC "Supporting Material" and have been prepared at the request of the Task Group on Data and Scenario Support for Impacts and Climate Analysis (TGICA).

Studies have shown that rude, uncivil, and thoughtless behavior costs companies thousands of dollars each year in soft costs, such as the time lost in gossip, and hard costs such as legal fees when disgruntled employees seek redress. Here are tips to help manage situations when co-workers consistently belittle others, act irrationally, or otherwise cause employees to dread going into the office.
By Lisa Parker, President, Heads Up Coaching
Are you a bully at work, and would you know it if you were? Or maybe you just have to work with one.
If you're stuck working next to someone who belittles others, acts irrationally, or otherwise causes you and your co-workers to dread going to the office, you'll likely want some tools to help manage the situation.
The Onboarding Buddy Program aims to help new Cast Members become more comfortable in their new role in a shorter period of time. The Buddy will provide a one-point access to questions about the Center and procedures, plus serve as a source of support, advice, and encouragement for the new trainer.

At Disney English, we created a guide for our Onboarding Buddy Program for new hires.
Organizations face daunting challenges and need to use every resource at their disposal to stay competitive. An engaged workforce that performs with energy, focus, and commitment is critical to organizational survival. Addressing the issues that drive engagement levels is a significant strategy to move from surviving to thriving.
By Ross Tartell, Ph.D.
Over the last decade, employee engagement has developed as a vital component of Human Resource strategy. But economic realities during the last few years have narrowed the focus of some companies to concerns about cash flow and sales, leaving employee engagement forgotten amid the imperative for economic survival. Stagnant growth and high unemployment characterized an environment that caused many employers to act as if employees were lucky to have a job and could easily be replaced if they didn't produce.
PricewaterhouseCoopers' extensive internship program produces strategic results. Some 90 percent of PwC's interns transition to full-time hires. Former interns who work full-time for the firm are retained longer as PwC employees; they achieve higher performance ratings than non-interns; and they are promoted to manager with a higher frequency.
Big or small, every company has to onboard new employees. Some organizations manage the process better than others. A select few take onboarding to the next level and integrate their onboarding program into their talent management process. The result of this integration is that onboarding becomes a key component of a company's talent strategy.
Where there is a culture of leadership engagement—where leaders are seen as plugged in and responsive to their employees; where employees feel their leaders are concerned with their everyday activities, personal well-being, and overall security—those are the places where you see engaged employees on every level.
By Bill Whitmore, Chairman, President, and CEO, AlliedBarton Security Services
There's a direct connection between engaged leadership, workplace security, and organizational success, regardless of your product or service. Psychologist Abraham Maslow identified safety and security as among the most basic human needs on the road to self-actualization—achieving one's full potential. It, therefore, follows that if your employees don't feel safe and secure, they're not going to do the best job for you.
A Smart Trust culture is a culture of immense momentum, possibility, and power, according to Stephen M. R. Covey and Greg Link, authors of "Smart Trust: Creating Prosperity, Energy, and Joy in a Low-Trust World." Smart Trust is not built on the assumption that what we need is more rules, more regulations, and more referees; it's built on the evidence that extending trust and creating a high-trust culture in which top performance is expected brings greater dividends for stakeholders on every level.

Although women have made much progress in reaching the leadership levels of business, the progress is disappointing—and stalled. Why aren't more women making it to (and staying at) the top? The answer may be in becoming more aware of why women leave and of what they bring to the table.
By Caroline Turner
Although women have made much progress in reaching the leadership levels of business, the progress is disappointing—and stalled. What is so stubborn about this issue? Why aren't more women making it to (and staying at) the top? The answer may be in becoming more aware of why women leave and of what they bring to the table.
Applying game sciences to recognition and performance improvement programs is much more than just creating a game. It's essentially a way of creating a series of interlocking and customizable experiences that enrich a relationship with a brand or company. Gamification is about finding new ways to appeal to the basic human drives that motivate us every day.
By Jerry Klein, Senior Solution Design Strategist, Maritz Motivation Solutions
We live in a world increasingly obsessed with games. From celebrity athletes performing before worshipful throngs to teenage boys lost in World of Warcraft, games engage and delight all ages. Businesses can capitalize on this trend toward play. Applying the mechanics of gaming to non-game activities can help to engage people in new and exciting ways.
In the right circumstances, Q&A following a presentation or class can provide an opportunity for you to clarify complex ideas or expand on issues of particular relevance for your audience. Here's how to make the most of these sessions and get the types of questions you want.

The sound of silence… that uncomfortable lull at the end of your presentation when you ask for questions, and it takes a moment or two for someone to get up the nerve to speak.

More leaders need to use Human Resources as a strategic plant, says Rajeev Pershawaria, author of "Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders." The first step is to choose the right HR leader, someone who can help, as well as challenge. Instead of choosing a comfortable confidante, leaders should look for someone who understands both business and human capital trends, and is able to contribute intelligently to C-suite discussions about business strategy.

Digital natives have a different set of habits, standards, expectations, and social norms that stem from being raised in a culture deeply immersed in technology, writes Brynn Evans in Chapter 1 of "Dancing With Digital Natives." While their differences may not always clash with non-natives, their work practice is unique and demands patience and compromise from non-natives to understand it and make the most of it.
The following is taken from Chapter 1: "When Facebook Comes to Work: Understanding the Work Practice of the Digital Native," by Brynn Evans.

Being part of an ongoing group of six people—True North Groups—who know you intimately is the best way to develop your emotional intelligence (EQ), according to Bill George and Doug Baker, authors of "True North Groups: A Powerful Path to Personal and Leadership Development." True North Groups enable us to integrate the drives for bonding and comprehension into our development as human beings and leaders.
By Bill George and Doug Baker
As a result of myriad leadership and economic failures in the past, both personal growth and leadership development are undergoing a significant rethinking. Macroeconomic theories prevalent for the last 30 years convinced many opinion leaders that people are motivated by monetary gains alone and act only in their economic self-interest.
Before creating a holistic talent management team, organizations have to be more honest about what kind of environment is wanted and what exists (inclusive, collaborative, separate, self-preservation). What type of leadership style is wanted and what exists? Is all leadership held to the same standards with regard to producing the optimal work environment?
By Richard Lynell
What does a holistic talent management team look like?
Well, that answer varies, depending on your organization and its leadership, culture, and environment. But regardless of this, I believe a talent management team should be an independent function of the organization, similar to an internal audit team.

Do you have a trainer or a mentor in your department? Do you properly mentor the new employee for their role, or just train them for their everyday tasks?

One morning while working in my former position as a human resource director for a resort, I was finishing my daily coffee run when my front-office manager, Kate, approached me. She was relatively new in her position and usually was full of ideas and had lots of energy—she was ready to make her mark on the organization! Unfortunately, I could see on this occasion that she was looking a little down.
Top-performing companies don't think of adding headcount to the sales team as hiring. They see it as an investment in revenue. Use onboarding as your strategy to protect the investment and ensure a high rate of return.

When a sales candidate accepts a job offer, everyone is all smiles. Yet, those smiles can quickly turn upside down if you are making any of these salesperson onboarding mistakes:
Chesterfield County, VA, trainers believe a loss of executive leadership typically is not due to lack of talent or skill set, but due to misunderstandings or an inability to become "organizationally savvy." With that in mind, the county launched its Transition Acceleration program.

If a leader inspires, aligns, motivates, and enables the organization around a common vision, then a company has taken the first step toward becoming fearless.
By Tom Rieger, Senior Practice Expert, Gallup
There are no fearless leaders, but there are courageous ones. Everyone has fears they need to face. The key is to learn to overcome those fears. Mark Twain said, "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear." To create a fearless company, leaders must master fear—their own and others'. They have to have the courage to fix what's wrong.
Motel 6 and Studio 6 turned the light on their training framework, revamping it in an effort to improve quality and consistency within the network. The new training structure aims to focus on the development of Motel 6/Studio 6 team members, ensuring they understand the "why" behind each course and providing them with supportive coaching along the way.
Faced with an unmotivated employee or student, our first instinct is to dangle a carrot (an incentive). If that doesn't work, we threaten him. In either case, we're missing the point. Tackling a lack of volition or faculty with blunt instruments such as rewards and punishments simply ignores the fact that the activities and experiences causing these symptoms aren't any fun. That's where games come in.
By Aaron Dignan
We're bored. Not all of us, and certainly not all the time, but it does happen a lot. Look into the eyes of the person behind the checkout counter the next time you buy something. Note the expression on the face of an employee in accounts payable who has held that same job 10 ten years. Observe a classroom of students during a middle school world studies class. Boredom is everywhere, and it's a by-product of poorly structured systems.
Reflect on the last week and think about all the infighting, water-cooler talk, meaningless meetings, turf wars, pouting, rants, and other behaviors that blocked positive, productive interactions in your organization. By following seven steps, you can shift yourself (and your team) away from drama to more enjoyable and productive tasks.
By Kaley Klemp and Jim Warner
If you work with other people (and who doesn't?), reflect on the last week and notice how much time you wasted in drama: the energy-draining behaviors or exchanges that keep you from what you really want to be doing. Think about all the infighting, water-cooler talk, meaningless meetings, turf wars, pouting, rants, and other behaviors that blocked positive, productive interactions in your organization.

Scottish independence would discourage banks and other lenders from investing in the country, according to former chancellor Alistair Darling.
Mr Darling, who is leading the cross-party campaign to oppose independence, added that large countries "were running Europe" and Scotland would be lost in the mix if it were to leave the union.
He told a conference on the economics of independence in Edinburgh that financial institutions and investors ask the question "who stands behind you?" when making decisions.
Mr Darling went on: "Who runs Europe? It is not run by small countries.
"It is run by large countries. You may think that is wrong but that is actually how it works.
"But we do have influence in Europe as part of the UK, in particular on the big issues, but also on the irritants that affect business in regulation and so on.
"It does actually help if you have got sufficient clout to say: 'No, we don't actually want that'.
Mr Darling said Scotland is also part of a UK single market "with all of the opportunities that brings" and the ability to share risks.
He said that when the RBS and HBOS got into difficulties in 2008, they were only saved after intervention from the UK Treasury, adding: "A smaller country just could not have done it. Look what happened to Ireland when it effectively took on the debts of its three banks.
"Ireland eventually couldn't carry on and it had to go the IMF and the eurozone."
Mr Darling also questioned the SNP's current policy of retaining sterling.
He said: "That means, of course, that they will be regulated by legislation that was passed in the rest of the UK over which an independent Scotland would have no influence.
"If you remain part of the EU, of which I think the answer is unequivocally yes, the EU directives at the present time require you, if you are a member state, to have bank regulation because that is part of the euro-wide system at the moment."
He said such a situation would cause uncertainty amongst business.
He added: "Whether you like it or not, especially for our biggest institutions that trade not just south of the border but trade throughout the world, the first thing that people ask is: 'Who regulates you? Who is in charge? Who stands behind you?'
"That is a very important consideration in relation to decisions that are made in the future about what these companies do."
The SNP's plan for a Scottish oil fund were also criticised by Mr Darling, who said "we can't turn the clock back 40 years".
But Alex Kemp, professor of petroleum economics at the University of Aberdeen, told the conference that an oil fund was a sensible proposal.
He said: "Dependence on oil revenues for the national budget is very dangerous because of the volatility.
"Norway is always talked about, but the main reason Norway eventually had an oil fund was because in 1986 the oil price collapsed to 10 US dollars (£6.37) and the budget was in very big difficulties.
"They were extremely reliant on oil revenues, so they had a big debate that this must not happen again."
Poor deal
He said the UK had a similar debate in the 1970s that "didn't exactly show the government at its best".
He added: "The oil revenues were just regarded as being a nice thing to have and therefore we should use it on the spending side just to increase the spending department's budgets.
"But the result was that the Treasury view predominated: we need it for the budget; we need it to balance the books."
Holyrood Finance Secretary John Swinney suggested that Norway emphasises his belief that Scotland has received a poor deal from the UK in recent years.
Norway's fund has accumulated £380m, equivalent to almost £80,000 per person, since the payments started in 1996.
Mr Swinney said: "Such figures are all the more frustrating given that despite a period of unprecedented growth in the global economy, the last UK Government missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deliver a real improvement in prosperity and social equality.
"Growth was squandered on an unsustainable boom that benefited the few rather than the many."
He added: "The frustration is that while we today have some scope to act, our ambitions are thwarted by a UK Government agenda that we believe to be profoundly damaging for Scotland.
"The question is: What are we prepared to do about it?
"Economic challenges will not disappear when we become independent but Scotland is well-placed to meet those challenges head-on."

HDRO Conference Room, New York
25 February 2011
By Angela Costrini Hariche
Time: 1.00- 2.00 p.m.
There is an increasing gap between what official statistics say about economic performance and how people perceive their own living conditions. Among other concerns about this democracy is the risk that people lose faith in governments' ability to address what matters for them, which in turn has has implications for the functioning of democracy. The OECD started to address these concerns over 10 years ago, which led to the launch of the Global Project on Measuring the Progress of Societies in 2008 in partnership with other international organisations. We will present how the Global Project is contributing to the measuring progress agenda, issues of civic participation in creation and communication of new indicators of progress, and finally, what innovative tools are being developed to promote this endeavour.
The main aim of Wikiprogress is to become a global platform for the assessment of societal progress by harnessing knowledge from a centralized web based community who are seeking out fresh social, environmental and economic measures of progress. Key background references include the Global Project initiatives Wikiprogress and Wikigender, OECD Development Centre's Perspectives on Global Development, current work on social cohesion, as well as the Commission on the Measurement of Economic and Social Progress.
Angela Costrini Hariche is the Project Manager of Wikiprogress initiated by the OECD-hosted Global Project on Measuring the Progress of Societies. She is also an OECD Development Centre researcher for the 2011 publication, Perspectives on Global Development: Social Cohesion. Prior to joining the OECD, she worked with the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations based in Liberia in the field of communications and information technology. Angela holds a Masters degree in New Media and Cultural studies from the Open University in the UK.
All events take place in our conference room, on the 12th floor of the FF building, at 304 East 45th Street. For more information, and to organize a building pass, please contact email@example.com.

The S.C. legislative session wrapping up this month in Columbia was disappointing to most influential Republicans who took part in our Red Palmetto survey last week. But unlike in Washington, they don't blame Democrats.
More than 60 percent of respondents categorized the session as either "very disappointing" (28.6 percent) or "somewhat disappointing" (32.7 percent). Only 4.1 percent called it "very successful" and 30.6 percent deemed it "somewhat successful."
Ninety-seven conservatives from the Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston areas were asked using an automated survey tool what they thought of the work in the State House this year.
Forty-nine responses were collected.
Comments by survey-takers displayed the frustration:
"The 2012 session was status quo and clear illustration of the unwillingness to proactively address the real challenges we face here in the Palmetto state," one said.
"Let's make the process more efficient," said another.
"Weak goals and direction," said one.
"The General Assembly does not walk the talk," said another.
One simply summed up the session with one word: "Gridlock"
Respondents who answered "very disappointing," "somewhat disappointing" and "somewhat successful" were asked who was responsible for the lack of success between Republicans in general, Republican leadership, Democrats in general, Democratic leadership, Gov. Nikki Haley and all of the above.
Both houses, as well as the governor's office, are controlled by Republicans.
More than 40 percent said they blame all of the above. Republican leadership was blamed by more than 25 percent. And Haley was the only other respondent in double-figures with 11.6 percent.
Influential conservatives who responded to this week's survey estimated their fellow Republicans thought more positively about the session. Only 41.7 percent said "fellow Republican" would characterize the sesison as a disappointing. And 39.6 percent said other Republicans would call it "somewhat successful." Still, only 4.2 percent said fellow Republicans would call it "very successful."
Patch then asked survey-takers to tell us what pieces of legislation were the most-important to be passed this session and the most-important to fail to pass.
Many respondents skipped the question altogether, or only filled in one piece of legislation on the positive or negative.
But in general:
The Voter ID law (which the state is battling the Department of Justice over) was mentioned the most, along with the budget (which is still being approved in Columbia) and the new Department of Administration (which is still be worked on in committee).
Overwhelmingly, disappointment in legislation that did not pass fell to school choice, which many SC Republicans have been trying to get through the State House for several years.
The Red Palmetto Survey
Our surveys are not a scientific random sample of any larger population but rather an effort to listen to a swath of influential local Republican activists, party leaders and elected officials in South Carolina. All of these individuals have agreed to participate in the surveys, although not all responded to this week's questions. Surveys were conducted between June 13 and June 15, 2012.
Patch will be conducting Red Palmetto and Blue Palmetto surveys throughout 2012 in hopes of determining the true sentiment of conservatives and liberals on the ground in South Carolina.If you are an activist, party leader or elected official and would like to take part in a weekly surveys that lasts just a few minutes, please email Regional Editor Chris Winston at firstname.lastname@example.com.

In 2012 Inverdoorn Game Reserve was proud to announce the introduction of free-roaming elephants in the Ceres Karoo for the first time in 150 years, yet again raising the bar in conservation as they brought the Big 5 to Cape Town's door step. The elephant introduction and release is one of three major projects which Inverdoorn has pioneered. In 2001 the Western Cape Cheetah Conservation (WCCC) was launched to further cheetah conservation by rescuing and rehabilitating cheetahs; and in 2011 RhinoProtect was established to aid the fight against rhino poaching with a revolutionary horn treatment.
The two bull elephants, Bully and Nduna, were raised in captivity. Their relocation to Inverdoorn marked the first time in their lives that they experienced the freedom of wide, open spaces. The game reserve encompasses 10 000 hectares of the Ceres Karoo, allowing all the animals to roam free as nature intended. This effort, once again, marked Inverdoorn as a conservation stronghold. Having been restricted for so long in terms of space, the elephants spent time adapting to their new environment in a specially-designed enclosure, guided with the utmost care and devotion by their handlers. After a sufficient period they were released into the main part of the reserve, where they continue to roam free to this day.
Elephants are endemic to the Karoo and the team at Inverdoorn was excited to re-introduce them back into the area, thereby moving a step closer in restoring the region to its ancient glory. Guests on safari are now able to share in the joy of the elephants' freedom, as they see them roaming through the open expanse of the Karoo and playing in the dam from time to time. Bully and Nduna are carefully monitored by their handlers in order to ensure a continued smooth transition, maintaining their comfort and safety, so that they can enjoy their freedom for years to come and South Africa can retain its natural history and heritage in the Big Five.
Amongst the wonders of Nature exists a splendid place situated in the magnificence of the vast open Karoo landscape, Inverdoorn Game Reserve & Iziba Safari Lodge. The 10 000 hectare property is a resourceful and stylish 'oasis' destination, only a 2.5-hour drive from Cape Town city centre.
Inverdoorn offers guests the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to really get to grips with a cheetah through its Exclusive Encounters package that allow guests to spend time interacting with the cheetahs through stroking, petting and giving the cheetahs water. Guests who opt for the five-star luxury accommodation packages automatically enjoy the one-on-one encounters while an optional extra package is available to other overnight guests and even day visitors.

Received June 5, 2011; Revised August 14, 2011; Revised January 04, 2012; Revised February 24, 2012; Accepted May 11, 2012.
Objective The authors demonstrate the value of reflective team supervision as part of the informal curriculum in an emergency psychiatry setting after a potentially traumatizing adverse event.
Method The article gives a case presentation of a violent adolescent who eloped from his hospital Emergency Department and provides a description of team supervision sessions that facilitated informal learning for residents and medical students after this event.
Results Reflective team supervision sessions after this event resulted both in improved resident well-being and learning opportunities, as well as hospital quality improvement designed to prevent future elopements.
Conclusions Reflective team supervision can be an essential component of trainee education to enhance residents' well-being and to promote both systems-based practice and practice-based learning. This can be an excellent forum to explore themes of humility, self-reflection, and professional growth.
Emergency psychiatry work, especially dealing with suicidal or homicidal patients, can be emotionally distressing for mental health workers. In a phenomenological study of young physicians' response to suicidal patients, Hoifodt et al. found that physicians report "pain, anger, and annoyance" when confronted with patients' suicidal behavior and they felt "sadness and guilt" in the aftermath of a suicide (1). Similarly, other publications have noted high rates of stress and burnout in crisis mental health clinicians (2–4).
The need for trainee supervision in emergency psychiatry is magnified after frightening adverse events, when trainees may experience stress, trauma, or self-blame. After such events, the role of the supervisor extends beyond teaching and evaluating, to include being a stabilizing figure and modeling appropriate reactions—functions that constitute part of what have been described as the informal or "hidden" curriculum in medicine. The goal of this article is to demonstrate the value of informal, reflective team supervision in crisis/emergency psychiatry in ensuring high-quality patient care as well as promoting trainee well-being.
A 17-year-old boy was brought to the pediatric emergency department (PED) by the police on a 72-hour psychiatric hold for being a "danger to others." The previous day, he had reportedly told a teacher at his high school that he wished to have the police kill him, and that he wanted to stab a police officer, take away his firearm, and start shooting at people. The patient was allowed to return home that day. However, the next day, the school contacted the police, who then transported him to the hospital. According to the police, "improvised weapons" were found in his backpack, along with "anti-government journal entries." The patient was assigned a "sitter" aide in the PED and two members of the child and adolescent psychiatry team—a medical student and a fourth-year general psychiatry resident—arrived to evaluate him.
During this initial evaluation, the patient appeared guarded and refused to answer most questions. He was observed to be well-groomed, with long hair in a pony-tail, wearing a hospital gown, and occasionally making darting glances around the room. He took long pauses before answering questions, and he seemed irritated. When asked about his mood, he simply shrugged his shoulders. He became visibly more agitated when asked about his family, and suddenly stood up, removed his gown, and, after quickly putting his clothes on, stated "I'm getting the f*** out of here." He ran out, and a Psychiatric Code was called. The patient managed to run out of the hospital into the street. A police officer stopped his car to apprehend him, but the patient grabbed the officer's gun and threatened him with it. The officer was able to subdue him only with the assistance of a passer-by. The patient was brought back to the hospital in handcuffs.
At this time, he was evaluated, cuffed to a bed, by the attending child and adolescent psychiatrist while other members of the Child Crisis Team watched. The patient revealed that he had been depressed and angry for "a long time," and that both of his parents had died when he was 14. His father died in front of him, and he expressed feeling guilty for not having been able to prevent it. Because no relatives would take them in, the patient was living with his 23-year-old brother, a musician struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). They had been threatened with eviction and had few resources. The patient had no past psychiatric history, and denied medical problems. Family psychiatric history was significant only for his brother's OCD.
He reported his mood as "indifferent;" however he appeared sad and distrustful, and his affect was intense, with full range. There was no evidence of thought disorder, and he denied suicidal or homicidal thoughts. He explained that his elopement and scuffle with the police had been part of a plan to go on a shooting rampage that would make him famous, but lead, eventually to his own death. However, when he was asked what he would desire if he had "three wishes," he stated that he wished "that this didn't happen." Drug screening and urinalysis were both negative.
Throughout the week after this event, the Child Crisis Team (CCT)—an attending child psychiatrist, two medical students, two child psychiatry fellows, and one fourth-year general-psychiatry resident—held a series of meetings reviewing the details of the case to acknowledge its emotional impact and to identify and begin to address systemic problems.
This case weighed heavily on members of the CCT because the traumatic events were not just reported to them, but unfolded before them in the PED and right outside the hospital. Several team members expressed dread at the thought of what might have happened had the youth successfully commandeered the police car and gone on his intended rampage. To ensure the team that it would be safe to reveal their personal reactions, the attending psychiatrist reported his own trauma-related nightmare and asked for other personal reactions (5). Team members expressed preoccupation with this case when at home: the medical student who had initially interviewed the patient also reported having nightmares, and others had awakened in the middle of the night thinking about the case, mentally re-enacted the scenario, or considered what might have been done differently. The medical student and the general-psychiatry resident who first interviewed the patient appeared the most emotionally affected. All team members expressed relief at having the opportunity to express their thoughts and feelings, and recognizing that their experience was shared, and not pathological.
All members of the CCT felt that acknowledging and exploring vicarious trauma in this case was therapeutic. In an ethnographic study of an internal medicine Morbidity and Mortality Rounds program over the course of 4 months, Kuper et al. concluded that these sessions served as a modality by which attending physicians can model professionalism and teach trainees how to take responsibility for their mistakes, while dealing with the emotional impact of events such as patient deaths (6). In a similar manner, reflective team supervision can help residents understand that introspection is a fundamental skill for therapists. That is, by reflecting on their own experience, they can better understand the complex and sometimes frightening experience of their patients. A key element in acquiring skills is modeling, which not only serves as instruction, but also a means to reinforce values. In our case, trainees felt that, during the discussion sessions, the attending psychiatrist modeled the importance and appropriateness of acknowledging the emotional impact of a frightening event. The intimacy of the group setting facilitated personal reflection and disclosure. This was essentially an exercise in mindfulness—of acknowledging the importance of the "here and now" experience—which has been linked to improvements in physician well-being and attitudes toward patient-centered care (7).
Differences in processing seemed to follow level of training: medical students and general-psychiatry resident talked about their fear and sense of having only narrowly avoided disaster, whereas the child psychiatry fellows were more intellectualized about their experience but were more able to use this experience to address the system problems identified by this case.
Addressing the emotional impact first allowed the team to identify two systemic concerns, without feeling personally "at fault" for the near-disastrous outcome.
The lack of an adequate holding area for evaluation of aggressive or unstable adolescent patients enabled this patient to elope from care. To separate minors from adults in the psychiatric emergency room, minors are evaluated in an unlocked, unguarded room in the Pediatric Emergency Room. Our patient, like all minors brought to the PED on a 72-hour hold, was automatically assigned a sitter for observation, but this precaution alone was ineffective in preventing his elopement: he was not handcuffed, and the PED has no guard. As a result of this case, hospital administrators decided that law-enforcement officers bringing in patients on psychiatric holds will remain with the patient in handcuffs until the psychiatry service arrives. This is particularly important, given the limited evidence that sitters reduce the incidence of elopement or episodes of violence (8). A plan was made to set aside one room in the PED to serve as a seclusion room for potentially violent or agitated patients.
In this case, the written hold gave specific warnings indicating that the patient was possibly dangerous, might be carrying weapons, and had been having thoughts of "killing a cop." At the time this case presented to the hospital, the CCT was informed that three other youths had arrived simultaneously to the PED for evaluation, and so the team split up to see these cases. Unfortunately, because of this pressure, no one read the 72-hour hold until after the patient interview started. Had this document been read beforehand, we would have been more cautious in our approach and perhaps might have notified other PED staff of the risks this patient posed.
During the brief initial interview, the patient displayed signs of agitation and paranoia that have been noted in the literature to be potential warning signs of imminent violent behavior (9). Our patient exhibited tense posture, scanned the room, muttered to himself, and clenched his fists. In spite of these early signs, no efforts were made to communicate his possible impulsivity and aggression. Assessment of known predictors of violence, such as history of substance abuse, acute psychosis, history of previous violence, or history of antisocial personality disorder (10), was also not obtained in this case. Opportunities to gather this history before the elopement, however, were limited.
On a systemic level, this case prompted meetings with the county police assigned to the hospital to review and discuss the protocol for evaluating potentially violent minors in the PED. From an educational standpoint, the training of residents in violence-prevention was reviewed. Many psychiatric residents report inadequate training in dealing with violent patients (11). McNiel et al. demonstrated that clinicians who participated in a systemic training program in evidenced-based violence risk-assessment showed improvements in clinical documentation of violence risk-assessment (12). In our training program, the decision was made to incorporate a review of assessing violence risk in the orientation to all new CCT members on their first day, with special attention to medical students, who, with the least experience, are the least prepared to detect and react to violent patients.
In their 2009 paper, Wear and Skillicorn define the informal curriculum in medical education as "the opportunistic, idiosyncratic, pop-up, and often unplanned instruction that takes place between anyone who is teaching (attendings, residents, other healthcare professionals), and trainees (13)." It is notable that the general and child psychiatry residents on this team had substantial formal didactic instruction and clinical experience in settings with potentially assaultive patients. However, this formal curriculum did not leave them feeling prepared for this event. Often, it seems, it is through actual experience with a patient, followed by thorough processing afterward, that residents are able to access and integrate what was contained in those initial lectures and apply what they learned in earlier clinical experiences to the new clinical situation.
The reflective team supervision described in this paper was an informal learning activity; it was not planned, not a requirement, and the instructor did not conduct the sessions with LCME or ACGME competencies in mind. Wear and Skillicorn report in their study that attending physicians, residents, and medical students all identified attending role-modeling as the most powerful element of the informal curriculum. Also, they emphasize that faculty attending physicians communicate to their trainees what they think is important by modeling which activities are worthy of the team's time. Through reflective supervision and self-disclosure, the attending in this case modeled the value of introspection, reflection, and mindfulness. These sessions conveyed the importance the attending places on supporting the emotional health of trainees and in examining how the team members could improve their skills in violence assessment.
Psychiatry and other specialties have reflective activity built into the formal curriculum: process groups, mindfulness, and narrative medicine groups. The purpose of reflection is to nurture and maintain compassion and empathy in trainees, qualities that have been shown to diminish during the rigors of medical training (14). Treadway and Chatterjee describe an effort at Harvard Medical School to encourage trainee reflection through biweekly meetings, the goal of which is "the creation of a 'safe space" for reflection and discussion…allowing both positive and negative experiences to be used to reinforce behaviors conducive to the development of compassionate, emotionally engaged physicians." (15) There is, however, a limited extent to which reflective activities can be efficaciously incorporated into a formal curriculum, as some of what is learned occurs spontaneously and "in the moment," and is dependent on the behaviors that trainees witness in their seniors and attending physicians. In other words, if self-reflection modeled in a process group is not also modeled in the clinical setting, the potential benefits may be lessened for trainees.
As the accreditation process has grown progressively more bureaucratic and detail-oriented, it may have moved many program directors to place heavier emphasis on formal learning activities at the expense of informal ones, such as supervision that is reflective and open to the needs of trainees in the moment. The pressures on faculty to be increasingly more productive and justify their salaries through clinical billing and grant funding has also directed the attention of faculty members away from this sort of reflective supervision. This would be an unfortunate and negative consequence, given the evidence that the informal curriculum is a powerful mechanism of transmitting skills, knowledge, and attitudes to trainees.
This case demonstrates how reflective team supervision after a frightening psychiatric emergency event can address the event's emotional impact and lead to improvements in both resident competencies and patient care. By addressing both the real and imagined consequences of an event, team supervision can serve as a forum for self-reflection and, by exploring themes of vulnerability and humility, can foster professional growth. This type of supervision forms an essential component of the "informal curriculum" in psychiatric medical education. In this case, team supervision also proved constructive in identifying and addressing systemic problems at our institution. These included specific improvements to patient and trainee safety in the emergency setting. This model of team supervision may help meet the requirement that program directors monitor and promote the well-being of residents. This includes their level of fatigue, stress, and distress during emotionally difficult work. Although these goals may be partially met through formal learning activities, nothing shapes trainees' behavior and experience as powerfully as role-modeling in the informal curriculum. Its reflective and open nature, as well as the increased frequency of team supervisory sessions after this frightening adverse event, allowed team members to explore their own emotional reactions, thus promoting their well-being and enhancing their learning.

Segobye, A.K. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis) www.routledge.com, NaN, 2007)[more][less]
Abstract: The colonial and postcolonial experiences of Africans reflect the myriad changes which African societies have undergone over the last few centuries. These include cultural, political and economic transformations mainly carried through formal education and the entrenching of western knowledge and technologies. The material and ideological changes were facilitated by a number of factors which varied over time and place. Formal education via religious missions became one of the tools for accelerated cultural transformation. It instilled new values and cultural aspirations for Africans caught in the complexities of colonial life. Education became the main vehicle for many forms of liberation from poverty, oppression and the inequities oflife. It offered an escape from what was perceived as the inadequacies of African knowledge systems creating new classes and voices within African societies. University education, as and when it became accessible to Africans, was invariably laden with multiple expectations for those who gained entry from their families and the wider communities within which they lived. The university thus became a complex landscape steeped in often contradictory aspirations including the transformation of individual and collective ideas. For some, it marked the attainment of a position of superiority, elite status, and often new forms of power, whilst for others it was a place of learning and enlightenment, associated with the creation of new liberties, and tools for realising broader freedoms. The idea of transformation in the university in Africa can thus be situated in the contradictions and opportunities that university education in Africa has come to represent.

Makgala, C.J. (Oxford university press/www.oup.com, NaN, 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: This article assesses the weaknesses of opposition in Botswana through the case of Kenneth Koma, the influential President of the Botswana National Front (BNF) from 1977 to 2001. This is done by examining the perception that from 1997 Koma's relationship with the ruling Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) destabilized and weakened the opposition in the country. The article challenges a view, held by some of his detractors in the opposition, that his leadership style was out of tune with global trends. It also argues that what some people have viewed as 'tribalism' — the domination of the BDP leadership by members of the Bangwato tribe (of which Koma is also a member) — seems to be primarily a matter of expediency. This alleged tribalism is used by Koma's critics as a smear. The article analyzes the relationship between Koma and the BDP at both political and personal levels. At the political level, Koma's failure to keep the BNF united has been capitalized on by the BDP to tighten its grip on power. At the personal level, Koma has used his connections in the BDP to advantage in his business dealings. Koma's cult status and his personal and political choices have therefore significantly contributed to de facto one-party rule in Botswana. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/505 Files in this item: 1

Morapedi, Wazha G. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis) http://www.routledge.com, NaN, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: This article analyses the colonial government's intervention in crop production in Botswana through the 'progressive farmer' scheme, from 1946 to independence in 1966. Crop production was not a highly remunerative venture in colonial Botswana because of persistent droughts, inadequate markets and lack of sufficient draught power and farming implements. Although cattle constituted the basis of wealth and, hence, their ownership led to social differentiation from pre-colonial times, the introduction of the 'progressive farmer' scheme accentuated the existing social stratification by favouring the well-to-do producers. While only a few farmers benefited from state assistance, this development marked a departure from the period before 1947 when the colonial state did almost nothing to bolster crop production in the country. By utilising statistics and case histories of farmers who joined the scheme, the article argues that the support extended to a few selected farmers in only some reserves accentuated intra-peasant differentiation and differentiation between regions of the country. The article begins by briefly presenting a survey of the concept of peasant differentiation, then focuses on the nature and organisation of progressive farmer schemes and their impact on peasant differentiation. It then discusses the position of farmers in the various categories of the scheme and finally presents and analyses case studies of three progressive farmers from three different reserves.

Makgala, C.J. (Cambridge University Press, NaN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: This essay examines, through taxation, the relationship between British colonial administrators, Tswana Dikgosi (chiefs) and their subjects in the Bechuanaland Protectorate from 1899 to 1957. It argues that since Bechuanaland became a British territory through negotiations the Tswana rulers were able to protect their interests aggressively but with little risk of being deposed. Moreover, the Tswana succession system by primogeniture worked to their advantage whenever the British sought to replace them. Taxation was one arena where this was demonstrated. Although consultation between the Dikgosi, their subjects and the British was common, subordinate tribes sometimes fared badly under Tswana rule.

Abstract: The aim of this article is to examine the historical relationship between tsetse fly control, the cattle industry and game policy in northern Botswana. The article will locate the Botswana case in the context of contemporary tsetse and trypanosomes research in sub-Saharan Africa and illustrate some of the major factors influencing tsetse and trypanosomosis control policy in the Okavango Delta. It will also provide an overview of the development of Western scientific thinking about tsetse control in Botswana. It analyses the complex epistemologies employed in Western scientific accounts of the history of the area and emphasises the exceptionality of the Botswana context where tsetse and trypanosomosis control proceeded down a bumpy road of trial and error until late into the twentieth century. Although there seems to have been little attempt to incorporate indigenous knowledge about tsetse fly on the part of the colonial authorities, it is also interesting to note that, in the Botswana context, Africans also made sustained efforts to observe the fly environment and to experiment with its control.

Mokopakgosi, B.T. (Routledge (Taylor and Francis)/www.routledge.com, NaN, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: This article documents key aspects of the role played by university students in Botswana in the liberation struggle, from the early years of the University in the mid-1960s to the year of Zimbabwe's independence in 1980. Three demonstrations by University students are analysed, and the article concludes that, contrary to the received literature, the University contributed to the liberation struggle in a meaningful way. Although students at the University continued to play a part in the liberation struggle after 1980, this period is not discussed as the liberation struggle became just one of the key agenda items in a broadened political programme that focussed on local concerns of the students such as fees, allowances, institutional governance and democratisation.

text: "This CD is the first collaboration of Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound and composer/sculptor Graham Bowers. It is, without doubt, one of the best things United Dirter has ever released. It's an extremely unnerving, but also hauntingly moving listening experience. The work is an attempt to create a musical illustration of the "goings-on" in the brain during the last hour and three minutes of life after suffering a major stroke. It is multi-layered and is primarily concerned with the internal chaos caused by the loss of control of thought processes, responses and consequential actions, with all types of incoherent disjointed memories and present real-time events -- as well as moments of lucidity, panic and fear -- clashing, merging and evolving. It's essentially one long piece, but is presented in three parts: 01. "...A Life As It Now Is 02. "...Is Not What It Was" 03. "...And Will Never Be Again." "-Dirter Productions

Comments about Jay Franco & Sons Inc. 1012277 Princess & The Frog Twin Comforter:
I love the look of the product but it is too large for a youth bed. I wish it were made to fit the small bed. I'm afraid my granddaughter will never use the comforter as it was intended to be used. I would not recommend it be used for a youth bed.

My daughter received this and the matching sheets for her 5th birthday. She is a big fan. I am very pleased with this set. The colors are nice and match very well with her pillow frog and other items we have in her room. I love it and my daughter loves it!

great buy
By busy bee
from columbus, ga
I already had the twin sheet set and was looking for the comforter to complete the bed set. I found it on Toys-R-Us, and once I received it, it met and exceeded my expectations. The only thing I was worried about was once I washed it, would the Princess colors fade. The did not! It is still in prestine condition and my daughter loves it. Now they need to make waste baskets and Valances for the room so the theme can be complete.

also, based on these photos - they're a lot less "fusion" (ie. westernized) than the omakases i've had at the philadelphia locale.that is a truly impressive array of dishes. i'm not sure what i had expected out of morimoto as a restaurant - maybe a restaurant catering more to the masses - but those pictures kind of dispell that thought. all menus were creative and interesting combinations. and no repeats!!
i like the 2nd night. almost looks like a bargain.
