It began with the onset of electronic health records, which doctors across all disciplines still struggle to integrate into their practices. It continues with advancing technology that collects clinical data (I am including images in my definition of clinical data) much more quickly, less invasively, and more accurately than any of the techniques clinical programs teach over several academic terms, and that are still tested in some professions’ national board examinations. As the technology continues to improve, it is also becoming more portable, with many new developments coming as apps for smart phones or tablet devices. As I wrote about in my previous column, ASCO is working with other optometric and cross-disciplinary organizations to make sure our institutions stay current with these trends, and that we all have a voice in how these trends affect the profession as we try to prepare our students for their future practice. As part of that effort, this March we will be hosting a discussion about the future of optometric education, Opening Our Eyes. We envision this discussion, which will be limited to invitees from each of our institutions and select others from organized optometry, including the AOA, AOSA, Academy, ARBO, and NBEO, as the first in a series of events in optometry. The series will help us to understand the future of healthcare and assure that optometry, the patients we serve, and those who were underserved in the old system all benefit from the changes that are coming. Some of the subsequent events will be hosted by ASCO and many others will be hosted by the other organizations that we collaborate with. Open Eyes will focus on the issues that specifically affect what we, as optometric educators, do every day and will need to do in the future, and because of that narrow focus, we have necessarily kept the scope of invitations relatively narrow. The topics we will discuss include the declining applicant pool and its potential impact on the quality of education, the role of student debt levels, the expansion of our profession’s scope and the impact of that expansion on education, the perception that a minority of our graduates are practicing to the full scope available to them by law, and the impact of technology and social media on the future of optometry. It is a very ambitious agenda for a one-day discussion, and we hope all the participants will be forthcoming so that the outcomes can help guide our profession’s path to the future. _______________________________________________ 3 / 56 Eye on Education - December 2018 - https://eye.opted.org Optometry’s Future Focus of Fall Board Meeting Photo: Diane Reich Far-reaching decisions around funding a national optometric education awareness campaign and participation in the governance of the profession’s continuing education accreditation program were among the ground-breaking decisions made by the ASCO Board of Directors at its recent meeting on Nov. 6 in San Antonio. ASCO has embarked on a highly targeted public awareness campaign, Optometry Gives Me Life, designed to raise the visibility of optometry as a career goal of choice, favorably positioning the profession in the competitive health profession education field. During its meeting, the ASCO Board of Directors agreed to a special dues assessment that will enable the launch of the campaign in early 2019. Optometry Gives Me Life will reach college aged students who have expressed an interest in a STEM or health profession, yet may not be considering optometry as an option. In a vibrant, lively and engaging way, the campaign showcases young Doctors of Optometry with special focus on their area of practice as well as their life outside of optometry. The campaign will utilize significant social media outreach, as well as a distinct website that will provide the user with in-depth but easily digestible information about life as an optometrist and how to pursue a degree. More details about this campaign will be provided in future issues of Eye on Education. The Board also agreed to participate with the Association of Regulatory Boards of Optometry and the American Academy of Optometry in a Governing Committee for the Council on Optometric Education, leading the profession’s continuing education accreditation process. A formal Memorandum of Understanding was considered and approved by the ASCO Board. Additionally, the ASCO Board voted to host a day-long, invite-only program, OPENING OUR EYES: A Discussion on the Future of Optometric Education, slated for March 2019. Other important actions taken at the Board meeting were: An update provided by NBEO President, Dr. Elizabeth Hoppe, on activities of the National Board of Examiners in Optometry and its exam pass rate processes. Approval of the FY18 Audit. Approval of comments to AOA,

  • Komisaruk Family
    Komisaruk family Updated by Chaim Freedman 18/02/2020, to replace the material in his book “Eliyahu’s Branches, the Descendants of the Vilna Gaon and His Family”, Avotaynu 1997. Dov Ber (Berel) Komisaruk, born 1776 in Girtegola, Lithuania,1 (son of David Komisaruk [1747 - ] and Khana ?), died 1843 in Rassein, Lithuania.2 Oral tradition held that Berel came from a prominent family of scholars and communal leaders in Kovno. Lithuanian records prove that the family came from the city Rassein which was located in Kovno Gubernia (province).When the Jews were compelled to adopt a surname in 1804 Berel and his brothers or their father registered their surname as "Komisaruk". Later generations used various forms of this name: Komisaruk, Komesaroff, Komisar, Comisaroff, Comisarow. A full explanation of the reason for these variations and the historic basis for the family's activities in Rassein can be found in "Our Fathers' Harvest" (Chaim Freedman, Israel 1982, supplement 1990.) Berel Komisaruk and his family appear to have held a license to farm taxes which the local Jewish community was obliged to pay to the Russian government. In their case the particular tax was that due to the supply corp of the army, the Komisariat. This was probably the origin of this surname. Tradition claims some relationship with the famous Soloveitchik family of Kovno. Other than their common Levitic descent, this has not been established. The Soloveitchik family was amongst the founders of the Kovno community in the early 18th century. The 1816 Revision List for Rassein city includes two family groups with heads of family Leib, son of David Komisaruk and Velvel, son of David Komisaruk.

Don Althoff, Veresen’s president and CEO, spoke with confidence during a conference call following the U.S. Department of Energy’s Monday announcement. ―I don’t think this is going to be a problem to finance,‖ he said of the $7.7 billion project (approximately $1.1 billion of which is project financing, owner’s cost and interest incurred during the four-year construction period). Before Veresen can make a ―final investment decision‖ in early 2015, it needs an Engineering, Procurement and Construction contract, all off-take contracts ―signed with credit-worthy counterparties,‖ and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval. Veresen looks for potential owners, partners Althoff wants Jordan Cove to be ―completely sold out‖ by October or November. That means Veresen is analyzing "optimal ownership" and possibly bringing in partners. ―What we’re going to decide over the next nine months is how much we want to own of the plant, and then how much more equity do I need to raise?‖ Althoff told The World this week. Today, Veresen owns 100 percent of Jordan Cove, including the proposed marine facility, liquefaction plants, storage tanks, gas treating facilities and South Dunes Power Plant.
