  • 2008 Annual Report
    2008 Annual Report “By giving students, parents, and community members the necessary tools to surround themselves with healthy options, HealthCorps is working today for a healthy America tomorrow.” - Mehmet C. Oz, M.D. Founder of Healthcorps® Michael F. Roizen, M.D. and Mehmet C. Oz, M.D. with the HealthCorps Coordinators and staff. Dear Friend, As HealthCorps’ founder, I want to thank you for your support and unwavering faith in our vision. This marks the first annual report for HealthCorps. It covers fiscal year 2008, which ran from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. Modeled after the Peace Corps, HealthCorps deploys a sharp team of Health Coordinators, recent college graduates with a strong interest in pursuing graduate studies in medicine and health, to carry out the HealthCorps curriculum and nurture student activists who then reach out to often neglected communities. HealthCorps offers schools a core curriculum of nutrition, fitness and mental resilience and shows students the benefits of making simple changes to achieve healthier lifestyles, like walking at least 10,000 steps a day, reading food labels, eating nutritious snacks and learning how to cope more effectively with stress. Our Movement targets all Americans with the message that today you can make small lifestyle enhancing changes to increase your well-being and guarantee a fuller and longer life. In 2007-2008, the HealthCorps network expanded to 36 high schools in seven states, where the program’s impact reaches 32,400 students and community residents. By the time of this printing, we will be up and running for fiscal year 2009 in 44 schools across seven states.

  • Can Public Diplomacy Survive the Internet?
    D C CAN PUBLIC DIPLOMACY SURVIVE THE INTERNET? BOTS, ECHO CHAMBERS, AND DISINFORMATION Edited by Shawn Powers and Markos Kounalakis May 2017 TRANSMITTAL LETTER Tothe President, Congress, Secretary of State and the American People: Established in 1948, the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (ACPD) is authorized pur­ suant to Public Law 114- 113 to appraise all U.S. government efforts to understand, inform and in­ fluence foreign publics. We achieve this goal in a variety of ways, including, among other efforts, offering policy recommendations, and through our Comprehensive Annual Report, which tracks how the roughly $1.8 billion in appropriated funds is spent on public diplomacy efforts throughout the world. Part of the Commission’s mandate is to help the State Department prepare for cutting edge and transformative changes, which have the potential to upend how we think about engaging with foreign publics. This report aims to achieve precisely that. In order to think carefully about public diplomacy in this ever and rapidly changing communications space, the Commission convened a group of private sector, government, and academic experts at Stanford University’s Hoover Insti­ tution to discuss the latest research and trends in strategic communication in digital spaces. The results of that workshop, refined by a number of follow-on interviews and discussions with other organizations interested in similar questions, are included in this report. Can Public Diplomacy Survive the Internet? features essays by workshop participants that focus on emergent and potentially transformative technology and communication patterns. The essays also highlight the potential challenges and opportunities these changes create for public diplomacy practitioners in particular and the U.S.

  • Tehran Stands Atop the Syria-Iran Alliance
    Atlantic Council BRENT SCOWCROFT CENTER ON INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE BRIEF Tehran Stands Atop the Syria-Iran Alliance OCTOBER 2017 DANIELLE PLETKA The state that was once known as Syria has ceased to exist. The nominal central government of President Bashar al-Assad controls only sections of the country, with other portions in the hands, variously, of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), al-Qaeda tied to Fatah al- Sham (otherwise known as Jabhat al-Nusra), People’s Protection Units, the Democratic Union Party, and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces. In addition, that which is in Assad’s hands remains so thanks only to the combined intervention of Iranian conventional and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and IRGC-Quds Forces, Hezbollah fighters, and the military support of the Russian Federation. If Assad is ever again to sit atop his nation, whole and entirely under his heel as it once was, it will be only because of these outside forces. Despite the Kremlin’s efforts to ensure a tactically advantageous military presence in Syria for the foreseeable future, Russia’s role in controlling Syria’s leadership going forward may be at least partly in question. Iran’s role, however, is clear. Assad, or indeed any Alawite ruler that succeeds him, will serve solely at the pleasure of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). Beginning at the Beginning Pushback: Exposing and After the ouster of the shah of Iran during the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Countering Iran is a project the new regime in Tehran took a straightforward approach to its foreign of the Middle East Peace and Security Initiative in the Atlantic relations: Everything the shah did was wrong, and the regime would do Council’s Brent Scowcroft the opposite.

Having starred in her own reality TV show and that infamous video, the hotel heiress is stepping into the world of fashion and beauty with a vengeance. No sooner had she launched a signature jewelry line on Amazon.com than she was talking of visions of a fashion empire, including jeans, sweatsuits, shoes and color cosmetics.

  • Learning, Teaching, Leading: a Patchwork of Stories from a Non
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Wilkins-O'RileyZinn for the degree of Doctor of Educationin Education presented on April 5, 2004. Title: Learninq Teachinq Leadinq A Patchwork of Stories froma Non-Traditional Life. Abstract approved: Signature redacted for privacy. ,-- . Betty Duvall This autoethnographic research explores learning,teaching, and leading from the perspective ofan adult woman who is both a non- traditional student and a non-traditional workerin the academy. Because she returned to school at theage of forty to earn a bachelor's degree, and is currently an associate professor ofeducation following more than twenty years of work in the private sector withan additional seven as a high school teacher, she focuses thispersonal exploration on academia, seeking to better understand her place inan evolving educational culture in which she is both insider and outsider, learner andteacher. By providing insight into her learningprocesses and products, she also provides opportunities for readers to reflecton the ways in which they learn as well as to better understand learner diversity. In the process of articulating theways in which she learns and linking them to her passion for teaching,the author began to formulate a theory, Home.Makers of the Academy: TheValuing-and Devaluing-of Teaching, that proposes a connection between thehistorical role of the homemaker in the American family and the academichomesmaking evidenced in caring, connective teaching. This developingtheory is illustrated through pages that alsorepresent her learning processes which she calls connectivity, or the linking of disparatesources to create new meaning. Connectivity is also used by the authorto refer to the intertwining of activities within a life of creative integrationwhere multiple facets of a person's life interconnect rather thancompete.
