Part of what distinguishes the CHAM ED is its dedication to enhancing the patient experience through initiatives shaped by personal feedback introduced patient experience cards in the pediatric ED These cards ensure families are informed about their child's medical team provide time estimates for next steps in their care plan all aimed at helping families feel informed and cared for "My brother's passing left an indelible ache in my chest but it also fueled an unwavering determination to contribute to how we deliver pediatric care in a meaningful way," said Quinones "By having cards that inform families about who their care team is and what is happening from the moment they enter the ED to when patients are discharged enhancing communication among staff and importantly ensuring families feel informed and in control in what can be a stressful and otherwise unpredictable time." initiatives like the patient experience cards and activities like the Teddy Bear Hospital where children pretend to be a doctor or nurse caring for stuffed animals increases the knowledge of families and engages staff in their care They also reduce patient healthcare-related fears and anxiety patients at the CHAM ED are warmly greeted by a nurse and promptly assessed The triage process at the CHAM ED includes evaluating patients as they arrive to determine the severity of their condition and prioritizing their treatment accordingly This swift and thorough initial assessment ensures timely and effective care from the moment patients enter the ED and these timeframes are significantly lower than the national average "Improving emergency medicine and nursing practice is a source of pride for us particularly in how we foster interdisciplinary teamwork and advocate tirelessly for the best patient care," explained Monika Czarny "The CHAM ED stands out as a special place as the frontline and leadership teams collaborate closely anticipating and addressing evolving needs This is a model for success not only in pediatric emergency medicine but across healthcare."

Campaign’s PR Faces to Watch 2025 – Cham Alatrach I’m a Senior Account Manager who delivers straightforward I’ve led campaigns for major brands and bagged an Intelligence Award in the process and results that speak for themselves – all to help clients stand out and spark conversation The audience comes first and the work must matter I stay connected to the UAE’s gaming and pop-culture community – a personal passion that keeps me inspired and plugged into fresh perspectives Go back to main article: Campaign’s PR Faces to Watch 2025 In May 2024, I delivered a presentation to the Swedish Bhutan Society and assembled friends in dance, anthropology, museum exhibition, ethnographic research, remote exploration, and the fine arts. The talk, “Mystical Dances in the Kingdom of Bhutan,” was in three parts. Part 1 appeared in September Here I will share Part 2: “Cham Dance is Deity Yoga in Action,” and in December A masked shaman dancing in a trance to connect with a power from another plane of consciousness is one of the very oldest activities known to humans The depiction of a dancing sorcerer is perhaps the most ancient image of a human Dancing-induced divine interaction was depicted in art before hunting masked dancing shamans appeared during a period of art depicting mostly animals Deity yoga in Vajrayana Buddhist monastic practice is the proper name for an elaborate sequential technique to self-generate oneself as a deity and also to generate a deity sitting before oneself and enriched through a thousand years of monastic practice I understand it in ways parallel to the way the Catholic Church has enshrined the archaic practice of virgin worship in the refined and elegant image of the Virgin Mary One issue that Protestants had with Catholics was the predominance of virgin worship My Mother was a devotee of the Virgin Mary It remains true to its essence: veneration of the Virgin Vajrayana deity yoga is similarly a refined and widespread meditation technique that evolved from the most ancient acts of intentional mental transformation Cham takes this base of realization and adds a layer of whole-body activity A combination of ritual elements prepare the mind in an environment sympathetic to the sustained awareness of another dimension of consciousness One’s identity as a human body sheds in the course of concentrating the mind and directing the energies of the body toward an ever-more-essential level of personal continuity that the encounter with unknown energies—within and without—will provide wisdom benefiting people Here is a simplified outline of deity yoga as a Vajrayana practice: Imagining a moon at the heart of the deity in front4 Imagining the letters of the mantra to be repeated around the edge of that moon5 deity yoga is perhaps the fundamental defining practice of the monks a primordial buddha inhabiting another dimension of existence It is usually and mostly done sitting in meditation posture a culmination of years of gradual mental training Of concern to anyone meditating is the matter of sustaining the state of mind of recognizing the ephemerality of the world the translucent emptiness of cyclic cosmic creativity is about the simple and complete participation with consciousness itself The 12th century monastic dance treatise The Snow Lion’s Attributes is a treasure of the Drikung Kagyu monastic order It states plainly: “Cham is the apotheosis of mystical attainment.” Cham takes everything that I’ve been writing about here—not as the conclusion but as the base of the manifestation of the tantric deities Only those monks who have already achieved competency in deity yoga are permitted to become cham dancers simply means “meditation technique.” In some monasteries in India’s Spiti Valley or champon,must spend a year in solitary retreat meditating exclusively on one deity The dance forms of cham are said to have originated with the founder of Buddhism in Tibet whose legend is connected with mystical dance traditions in Swat Dance provides order and structure to wild forces Dance itself is an instinctive force—as any dancer knows—and has the power to completely transform the mind The Buddhist teaching says: “When the mind becomes the practice this is deity yoga.” The cham dancer goes beyond this: the mind becomes the body; the body becomes the practice of insubstantiality manifesting a dancing deity with whole-body intelligence coupled with skillful techniques of body and mind result in the deities—and their virtuous powers—being given life for an appearance in this world; one that is sure to dissolve with the end of the ephemeral dance Otherworldliness pervades the patterns of the dance are portals of higher consciousness.  Dance is the most effective way to sustain a complex meditative state the word “dance” means meditation: the famous dancing-deity paintings are paintings of meditation especially those of the Drikung Kagyu order the entire form of the mandala falls apart in lapses into chaos the courtyard full of random individual movement There are practices used in cham performance that do not apply to seated deity yoga It is difficult to express for how long the monks dance any given monk would have danced for at least 10 hours There is rehearsal before the actual ceremony There are many purposes and roles of the dance in cham Foremost among them is the ability to sustain an exalted state of mind—deity yoga—as the deity moving himself in the manner of divine being: shining The basic activity of visualization meditation is the appearance of a vision within oneself replacing the identity of a human body or the ego-based self and a state of emptiness and bliss results but many teach the skill of expanding the deity within to become coextensive with their own physical body; so the human body is conceived as the deity’s Then the monk is instructed to expand the deity beyond their own physical form Performing cham also differs from seated deity yoga—which is a sequential constructive activity—by using also the direct projection of a deity from mind-to-mind This mind-to-mind projection of images is a known skill in Buddhism I have been the recipient of it a few times Even things that exist in time—such as a dance—in a split second can be apprehended in full during their great annual Thimphu Tsechu dance ceremony the dancers’ final preparatory step before entering the courtyard who—forehead to forehead—projects a deity visualization into the mind of each dancer victorious in piercing through the illusory world The 12th century treatise teaches the realization of “deity pride” of a protector deity: “Shake your head like a lion with prey in its mouth.” Cham destroys illusion Core of Culture All Authors >> var _ctct_m =

plastic bag notices can be seen at the Cua Dai port – the major launch point for all boat trips from the mainland to the island – warning visitors to remove any plastic bags from their luggage The island set a limit on overall numbers of visitors at 2,500 visitors per day back in 2015 The islanders themselves earned 3.6 million USD last year 65% of which is from tourism and associated services
