Hello, Yasmin,

As per your request, I have filled the slots that were listed as still available on the tentative conference schedule for Wednesday. Dr. Alban Buchanan in Scotland says that he is eager to talk about distance education as it is practiced within the film academies in his country. Also, my contact in Yaounde wrote to let me know that Ms. Marie-Therese Tchangou will be the school's representative.

Mr. Andrei Durchenko has informed me that he is withdrawing from the conference. His replacement from the same school, Ms. Melina Vakhitova, will submit the title of her presentation shortly.

I also wanted to add that I will be arriving in Abu Dhabi at 6:00A.M. on Wednesday. That should give me plenty of time to set up for my presentation.

Regards,

Ayumi

Health Day at Hesidion Clinic

by Shai Herzog on April 14

Hesidion Clinic hosted a successful Health Awareness Day this past Saturday. The event was held as a way to thank the community for supporting the clinic over the past 15 years. It was well attended by both Hesidion Clinic patients and members of the general public.

Attendees participated in a variety of presentations and everyone received free water bottles, notepads, and other items from event sponsors. Participants who provided a special code were offered a complimentary physical checkup from the team of clinic physicians.

During the event, a sizable line formed at Dr. Thierry Daumas' table. "I came out today to learn about skin care and advances in eye-care technology. But Dr. Daumas' talk about how to prevent cavities and improve oral health provided me with the most helpful information," said attendee Liana Stawinski. By far the most popular event was nutritionist Jillian Opala's presentation on healthy eating habits. More than 100 people, many of them retirees, flocked to hear the latest on super foods. The event took nearly twice as long as expected, as Ms. Opala answered a steady stream of participant questions.

Children were delighted to take part in a health contest involving questions about general health and hygiene. The winners received toys and certificates from the game host. The day was such a success that Hesidion Clinic director, Lance Verhoeven, is already considering making it an annual event.

What Our Students Are Saying

3 June by Atsushi Koshi

I took a finance course at SBS. The school I am now attending in the United Kingdom had a prerequisite that I had not fulfilled while earning my Bachelor's degree, so the eight-week course was convenient. However, I couldn't afford the high rent in the area, so I had to commute, and the traffic in that area is terrible. I wish SBS offered a dormitory for students at the school. The quality of instruction was superb. My lecturer was Diara Rhodes. Though she tended to rush through lectures, discussing a wide range of topics in a small amount of time, I did learn a lot from the reading and from her descriptions of real-world experiences. The way she solved business problems was a source of inspiration during my graduate school interview, and it is also helping me in my current classes.
