THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2016 tuftsdaily.com Tisch College receives $15 million gift, renamed to focus on civic life by Daniel Nelson Staff Writer Tufts announced today that Jonathan (A’ 76) and Lizzie Tisch have donated $15 million to the university’s eponymous Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, which has been renamed the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life. This name change was made to bet- ter reflect Tisch College’s purpose, which is to encourage civic engagement in all parts of life, according to an April 14 press release via Executive Director of Public Relations Kim Thurler. “Lizzie and I believe in the evolution of Tisch College and wanted to help ensure that it has a bright future, offering even more to the students at Tufts for decades to come,” Jonathan Tisch, who is also co-chairman of the Board of Trustees, said in the press release. The Tisch couple’s $15 million gift will help the college in its mission of address- ing what Alan D. Solomont, Pierre and Pamela Omidyar dean of Tisch College, called a “broken” democracy.

EFF Skill Sets addressed Cooperate with Others: Try to adjust one’s actions to take into the account the needs of others and/or the task to be accomplished. Industry Skill Sets addressed Resolve Guest Problems Exceed Customer Expectations Activity 1: Empathy Skills T introduces another important component of active listening: empathy. T asks the Sts to define “empathy.” As Sts call out answers, T leads responses towards the following definition and writes it on the board. Empathy is the ability to recognize and understand the emotions, beliefs, moods and desires of another person. Empathy is often characterized as the ability to “put oneself into another’s shoes.” T elicits from Sts the reasons why it would be important for hotel workers to have empathy. Some examples might be as follows: 1. Listening empathetically makes people feel as if they are truly being heard and that their needs will be taken care of. 2. Listening with empathy gives guests a positive experience of the hotel and of you as a worker. Guests will always remember the worker who truly listened and cared about their problem, as opposed to the worker who offers a quick solution. 3. When you acknowledge how people are feeling, you reassure them that they are understood.

  • A Snapshot of Oakland Corner Stores: Availability of Healthy Foods in Oakland’S Low-Income Neighborhoods
    A Snapshot of Oakland Corner Stores: Availability of Healthy Foods in Oakland’s Low-Income Neighborhoods Xenia Shih Bion University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health | Public Health Nutrition 1 ABSTRACT Objective: Availability of healthy foods is limited in many low-income urban settings. One reason may be the overabundance of corner stores and lack of supermarkets in these areas. The objective of this study was to examine the availability of healthy foods in corner stores located in the low-income neighborhoods of Oakland, CA. Methods: Staff members and trained community volunteers from an Oakland-based community organization conducted a survey of corner stores located mostly in East and West Oakland. In 2013, data were collected from a convenience sample of 78 corner stores. I calculated descriptive statistics from the survey results and investigated the associations between corner store characteristics and the availability of fresh produce. Among the corner stores that stocked fresh produce, I also investigated the associations between corner store characteristics and the quality of produce sold. Results: The majority of the corner store employees said there was a community demand for healthy food, but only 42.4% of the stores stocked fresh produce. Among the stores that stocked fresh produce, the quality of the produce sold was high. Corner store employees’ perceptions of whether or not their stores stocked healthy food was significantly associated with the availability of fresh produce (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Efforts to improve the food environment in corner stores located in low- income urban settings should focus more on increasing availability of fresh produce than increasing the quality.

  • PAPER CLIMA Versione Eurogusto Edited
    Climate Change and the Food System Position Paper ........................................................................................................................................................................... Introduction Through this position paper, Slow Food seeks to address the intersection between the food system and climate change and to describe possible pathways for tackling the climate crisis through the adoption of environmentally-friendly practices along all stages of the food supply chain, following a “seed to landfill” trajectory. We will begin by framing the relationship between food and climate. This will provide a brief overview of the key issues and present statistical evidence in order to gain a better grasp of the problems. We will then explain why Slow Food is engaging in the climate debate. The first section will thus provide an introduction to Slow Food’s guiding principles and the organization’s involvement with environmental issues. We will then turn to the core section of the briefing paper by outlining a general “Slow Food approach” to tackle the climate-unfriendly consequences of food production and consumption. For each issue, a conclusive section, “Slow Food in action”, will describe existing good practices being implemented by Slow Food. 1. Food and climate 1.1 What food system are we talking about? The modern, industrialized agri-food model that has asserted itself over the last 50 years or so may have brought benefits in terms of increased productivity, but its impact on the environment has been devastating: pollution, soil erosion, scarred landscapes, reduced energy resources and an overall loss of diversity, both biological and cultural1. Under this model, agricultural production has assumed the characteristics of the industrial sector, taking a new shape, which can be referred to as agro-industry or agribusiness.

  • Copyrighted Material
    c01.qxd 11/20/04 3:39 PM Page 11 PART ONE Art and Culture: Use Only as Directed Copyright and trademark law is an important tool in incubating new cre- ativity and building a culture. By giving creators a property right in their works, the law stimulates the development of all sorts of new works. What is not appreciated as much is how overly broad copyright and trademark laws can sabotage creative production. Artists necessarily must draw upon works of the past.They also must be able to modify and trans- form prior works and collaborate and share with fellow artists. Since copyrights and trademarks are essentially monopoly rights, the question thus becomes: How far should intellectual property protection extend? What is the proper balance? As the stories of Part One illustrate, the intended balance of copyright and trademark law has gotten seriously out of whack. The chief propo- nents of broader, longer, and stricter forms of protection are the various “content industries” that produce music, film, photographs, literature, journalism, and entertainment. They like broad legal protection for their works because it makes those works more valuable. Owning the copy- right on, say, a Beatles tune for an extra twenty years could easily be worth a fortune. Broader protection also privileges commodified works over “nonmarket”COPYRIGHTED creativity such as folk traditions,MATERIAL public dialogue, art, scholarship, and the works of online communities. It is a complicated business drawing the lines of protection properly. But the following stories show that appropriate limits for copyright and trademark protection have been transgressed time and again.
