well-planned organization and collaboration with local partners He also shares his experiences and plans for future conferences emphasizing Dubrovnik's role on the global conference scene How many events have you organized in Dubrovnik so far What has your experience been like as an organizer I have been coming to Dubrovnik as a conference organizer since 2010 which in itself shows that there is good cooperation and satisfaction among all involved parties Besides the cooperation between conference organizers on one side and the destination it is crucial to highlight the importance of participant satisfaction with both the conference and the destination It is extremely important for conference organizers that participants return to the conference and become ambassadors for it within their institutions and countries that they return as tourists in the coming years How would you describe your long-term cooperation with Dubrovnik as a conference destination What makes Dubrovnik special for organizing international conferences and congresses and what are the key advantages of Dubrovnik compared to other cities in Croatia and the region From the perspective of a conference organizer it is also very important to have conference infrastructure (halls additional activities) and hotels of various categories it is important to highlight the experience and strategy for developing conference tourism because it differs from "regular" tourism Were there any interesting people or situations that particularly impressed you during the organization and participation in conferences in Dubrovnik and with whom I have developed deeper collaborations but since I have met and worked with so many wonderful people I won't mention specific names to avoid leaving someone out because they are all important reasons why we keep coming back to Dubrovnik but I remember our first conference in Dubrovnik in 2010 when a downpour started during a city tour The guide incorporated that unfavourable situation into the story they were telling the participants during the tour the 15th GBC conference will be held in Dubrovnik What are the main themes and goals of this conference this year we are organizing the 15th GBC conference and the theme is “AI's Impact on Global Prosperity: Shaping the World Economy.” When selecting the conference theme we always try to choose one that is not only currently relevant but will also have an impact on the global economy in the future we have to consider what is relevant on a global scale I can already say that besides participants from Europe we also have participants from South America How important is this conference in the business world in general what key messages and trends do you expect to be emphasized and how important is it for promoting Dubrovnik on a global level and people from the business world do not participate in large numbers at such conferences what comes out of such conferences is the exchange of knowledge and experiences from different economic bringing new insights to the business sector This conference includes professors in management which is essential in today's world (narrow specialization is a luxury that only a few can afford today) One of the topics that will definitely be discussed is how much AI can replace humans and how that will affect business and life in general it is extremely important to us that participants are satisfied and become ambassadors in their countries not only of the conference but also of the destination This is very important for Dubrovnik and Croatia because I know that some of them How do you see the future of Dubrovnik as a conference destination further improve its position in the global market Dubrovnik has everything needed for conference tourism it would be good to extend the conference season meaning to have more content available throughout the year it is very important to have available accommodation capacities of all categories because the business policies of many universities and projects are such that they finance accommodation in three-star or What might be a challenge in the future are high service prices – I'm not saying they aren't justified or that they don't follow the global situation but it is something that organizers and the destination itself must keep in mind What does it mean for you to be a Croatian Congress Ambassador and how does that role contribute to promoting Dubrovnik as a conference destination Being a Croatian Congress Ambassador and being among other ambassadors is and then a challenge and responsibility to promote Croatia as a conference destination the Global Business Conference is always there the Odyssey conference will be held in Dubrovnik next year There are also other plans to bring some events to Croatia This interview was originally published on the Dubrovnik Convention Bureau May 06, 2025 84 Interviews May 06, 2025 310 Dubrovnik May 05, 2025 288 Times Travel May 05,

With Google, Target and Ford recently jumping on the corporate mindfulness bandwagon the rebranding of mindful meditation and practice as a means to increase both productivity and compliance is now complete Slowing down, tuning in and radical acceptance have been molded into low-cost tools to increase our ability to speed up, tune out and drive ourselves harder than ever before While there can be little doubt that the practice of mindfulness can lead to significant health benefits its current prominence in corporate culture is nested within a social cultural and political context where stress is now seen as a failure of the individual to adapt to the productivity demands of the corporation you’re not working hard enough on your personal focus strategy The current translations of ancient mindful practices are also highly gendered In a culture where women are much more likely to be encouraged to apply acceptance stillness and the relinquishing of resistance to their problems the trap of mindfulness can be set to stun for those who may be much more in need of speaking up resisting and taking space in the workplace mindfulness is an ideal tool to induce compliance with its focus on the individual management of our responses to forces we’re being told are well beyond our control And this is perhaps the crux of the problem of the mindless application of Buddhist meditation practice: the marketing of mindfulness as a solution to work stress and life balance rather than the complex spiritual approach to living it is meant to be of what is essentially a way to exist with full awareness with a one-size-fits-all treatment strategy for everything from depression to premature ejaculation has placed a powerful way of life into a tiny box reserved only for the treatment of behaviours we currently see as unacceptable Having trouble containing your grief at the office Struggling with the uncertainty of your position during the 7th restructure in as many years but what is ailing those who depend on you Rather than a difficult but easily accessible way to free your mind and body mindfulness has been rebranded as a kind of gentle harness to help us heel to the corporate leg And the purpose of the practice has been restructured to include a hierarchy of outcomes as well Most practice days I spend at least some time teaching people simple mindful practices that can help to reduce their in-the-moment anxiety calm emotions that threaten to interfere with their ability to express them and to come into the present enough to speak clearly from their hearts and minds This is just part of the work of taking responsibility for our lives If we truly become mindful of our existence then our recurrent anxieties become not just a wave we watch pass through our minds not something to be mastered in order to be a better servant but a call to take action in order to be more fully alive The dates displayed for an article provide information on when various publication milestones were reached at the journal that has published the article activities on preceding journals at which the article was previously under consideration are not shown (for instance submission All content on this site: Copyright © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

Due to her BA in biochemistry and master's in speech language pathology from Hofstra, she wanted the charity to be medical-related. She chose Home Base a joint program between the Massachusetts General Hospital and Red Sox Foundation whose mission is "healing the invisible wounds for veterans of all eras military families and families of the fallen through world-class clinical care Krupka said multiple factors went into her decision: Massachusetts General Hospital being one of America's top hospitals the program donating 99 percent of the proceeds to veterans and the fact that the hospital provides extra services that VA Hospitals can't because of the high demands "It’s really just about giving back," Krupka said "I saw how much it meant to the veterans I was working with when I was at the VA kind of forgets how much these people have sacrificed for us Their family; everybody suffers when they go away Somebody gets injured or they see something that they can’t forget about I’m doing what I can in memoriam of my family members who I love so much." Krupka has since raised over $4,400, though she's quick to credit the support of the entire Northport community, which rallied behind her, for her success. You can donate to her fundraising efforts for Home Base here hosted a fundraising event to help Krupka meet her initial goal of $3,000 Northport Harbor Deli and the Jewelry Collection who owns The Wine Cellar on Main with Lindsay Ostrander credited the community for coming together "We all stick together around here to help one another," he said via press release Krupka thanks O'Brien and Ostrander for hosting the event as well as every business that helped out through donations and/or catering so thankful for all the local businesses who participated," she said I’d be able to raise as much money as I did We’re on our way to raising $5,000 before Nov That goes to show how amazing this little community is." Krupka has never ran the New York City Marathon and admits she's a bit scared Though she feels her competitive drive will see her to the finish line "I’m trying to keep in mind the fact that I’m doing this for a good cause which keeps her occupied 70-80 hours per week each morning to go out and run before work thanks to the cause of supporting those who make so many sacrifices for the United States Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.

In the late 1960s, psychologist Martin Seligman conducted a series of behavioural experiments with dogs He electrically shocked them at random and observed their responses After being locked in cages and subjected to pain that was unpredictable and uncontrollable, the dogs eventually gave up their attempts to escape, even when their cage doors were opened. In a now classic case of reframing, Seligman coined the term “learned helplessness” to describe their responses It neatly and conveniently located the problem in the victims of violence and manipulated their reality-based perceptions of a toxic and life-threatening environment Learned helplessness was such a socially palatable label for repeated victimisation that it’s still regularly applied to many victims of social, institutional and interpersonal violence. This includes, most notably, women subjected to domestic violence Like the slippery concepts of low self-esteem learned helplessness has entered our vernacular It has swallowed up socially accurate explanations for violence until nothing is left but to blame the victim Last year, clinical psychologist Sallee McLaren argued half the responsibility for domestic violence lies with the victim Journalist Julia Baird’s much-echoed critique accurately positioned Dr McLaren’s piece in the context of a long history of “provocation” theories These attempt to explain domestic violence as a predictable response to a woman’s inability to follow the rules of appropriate communication Baird also rightly questioned Dr McLaren’s expertise in attributing responsibility for domestic violence But unfortunately for women seeking therapeutic support, in order to survive and escape domestic violence, therapists of all persuasions have been specifically trained to locate the problem in their clients. Dr McLaren is no exception in a profession that continues to focus research on the individual attributes of victims of violence and to pitch their therapeutic techniques towards victim responsibility This contributes to women’s disempowerment and to our overall inability to see the violent forest for the trees Therapists working to support women in situations of domestic violence need to move outside of individual psychology and away from therapy They need to name the wider problem and directly address how the social determinants of gendered violence are affecting the health and safety of the women they’re working with To do this requires a complete overhaul and a rejection of much of our own teaching. Therapists must relearn a feminist framework of male entitlement, power and control, and stop embracing apologist responses such as anger management Then, the “damaged man” who is too wounded to control himself and needs our understanding disappears a man who skilfully uses violence to manage his rage and needs to be controlled Instead of the woman who has learned to be helpless women’s responses to men’s violence can be understood as adaptive behaviour This occurs within a fundamentally toxic social environment in which being subjected to violence is treated as a personal failure and where every response is either pitied or pathologised Such an overhaul requires therapists to engage in the painful process of facing our profession’s complicity in violence against women Anything less is not only dangerous and ineffective but a significant and widely debilitating contribution to the problem It is true that women who have experienced violence are different from other people who have not We are different because we have been violated We don’t have “trust issues”; we have been shamed and betrayed We don’t “keep choosing violent men”. There are simply enough of them to go around to put one woman in this country in hospital every three hours And violence of all kinds has such a profound impact on our available resources that we become increasingly vulnerable to violence the more of it we are forced to endure We have not learned to be helpless; we have learned from our histories in our hearts and in our minds we have been changed we have learned the inside of the cage and the outside of the cage are not always so very different after all If therapy is going to help change our minds Family & Domestic Violence Counselling Line – 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) – is available 24 hours a day seven days a week for any Australian who has experienced family and domestic violence and/or sexual assault The bride-to-be is a 1991 graduate of Sparta High School and a 1996 graduate of Montclair State University is a 1997 graduate of Lee High School and a 2001 graduate of Emerson College Married at First Sight, Channel 4’s “social experiment” reality show which asks whether “science can help to create a successful relationship and if the act of marriage itself helps create a psychological bond that leads to true and enduring love” is about to air in the UK it’s the latest in a series of reality television programmes to use the format of arranged marriage to place lovelorn singles in hothouse situations for our entertainment instead of simply being offered romantic suspense we’re being asked to view this as a legitimate social experiment This is scientific research – and the show’s producers have hired relationship experts to oversee and legitimise it Channel 4’s experiment is one that would be highly unlikely to pass muster with any human research ethics committee who gather data from participants to match couples and then interpret their ongoing interactions come from a variety of disciplines including evolutionary anthropology All of these are professions that require members to uphold standards of human research ethics that include preventing social and psychological harm and avoiding conflicts of interest But as per the formula of most reality television participants are deliberately stressed and exposed with the data gathered by each researcher publicly interpreted for our entertainment There is a conflict of interest between the needs of the show’s producers for the largest audience possible and the needs of the participants to be protected from psychological harm There is also a conflict of interest between the role of each expert as scientist While the contestants will have undoubtedly signed detailed consent forms this in no way overrides the experts’ own professional obligations to conduct research that complies with the ethical guidelines set for their industries That’s what guidelines for ethical research practice are there for; to protect participants from voluntarily consenting to experiments that may prove to be harmful because it’s marketed as “light entertainment” sometimes masked as social experimentation to give it an air of credibility we can be persuaded to see it as a matter for ethical debate rather than professional sanction It appears that when it comes to televised radical social experiments both participants and the public are to be left to protect themselves As reality television begins to position itself beyond the realm of simple voyeurism and ventures into the territory of legitimate social research without the ethical oversight, perhaps the place for complaints about the process is not only the television networks themselves but also the various member associations of the contributing expert consultants who are accountable to the public for the ethical practice of their members and have dedicated professional conduct committees whose role is to hear and respond to complaints about the practices of their members Participant complaints could have a significant impact on the process of making experimental television But in the case of the current crop of new reality shows It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Vic Krupka Victor leaves to mourn his wife of 50 years

posthumous victory.” (JTA) — Here’s how a far-right Polish politician made his point during a televised debate: He slipped a kippah on the head of his opponent Konrad Berkowicz and Anna Krupka were representing their parties for the May 26 European Parliament elections: Berkowicz for Korwin Krupka of the ruling right-wing Law and Justice Party She didn’t notice for a few seconds and kept speaking A popular slogan among Korwin supporters is “Poland not Polin,” a reference to the country’s name in Hebrew A far-right Polish politician said that footage of locals beating an effigy of a Jew shows that his country is being spied on by Jews or Freemasons a former lawmaker in the European Parliament and leader of Korwin and several other ultranationalist movements has a history  of making anti-Semitic statements Last month he aired a conspiracy theory about Jews while commenting on reports in the Israeli media on a custom in which residents of the town of Pruchnik beat with sticks an effigy of an Orthodox Jew representing Judas Iscariot the Israeli-British founder of the Holocaust commemoration group From the Depths The debate involving the kippah was held Saturday in Kielce a southern city in Poland that was the site of a pogrom of Polish Jews by their non-Jewish neighbors in 1946 Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki reiterated his government’s objection to offering what he called “damages” over issues that go back to World War II “If today anyone says that Poland has to pay damages to anyone, then we disagree and will continue to do so and it will not happen as long as the country is ruled by Law and Justice,” Morawiecki said during a party event Friday in Lodz it would contradict any elementary principle of international law This would also be Hitler’s posthumous victory the United Kingdom and Jewish groups have protested Poland’s failure to pass restitution laws for privately owned property lost by Jews in the Holocaust JTA has documented

by Plant Talk Chef Inspired by Greenmarket; Gives More Cooking Demos this Weekend I pulled into the Garden’s Mosholu gate last Wednesday, excited to return to the Greenmarket With five basic pantry ingredients and $25 I planned to see how far we could stretch this budget into delicious things that are ordinarily found in just about any home kitchen and we walked away with a bag brimming with fresh corn I also managed to talk one of the farmers into making a deal on two quarts of tart red cherries We then made our way to the Conservatory Kitchen, where people were seated awaiting our Cooking for Your Health demonstration despite the incredible midday heat. I was excited to see that the high school-aged participants in the Botanical Garden’s GardenWorks program had joined us, as I love to show young people new foods and cooking techniques. This program, in partnership with the Bronx Institute’s Gear Up program introduces students to new experiences and career choices in botanical science Adriana and I got cooking right away, making a light and healthful vegetable soup with onions, carrots, potatoes, green beans, zucchini, and corn, along with some fresh herbs and my favorite ingredient of the day: tart, lemony, purslane.
