Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader and philanthropist who served as the first president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.

Webinar:
Keynote Presentation: The Next Pandemic

Webinar Abstract:
“Emerging infections” are those that appear suddenly or are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range (e.g., HIV/AIDS, Ebola, SARS, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome [MERS], H5N1 avian influenza, pandemic influenza, Zika). Most are pathogens from other species that acquire opportunities to come in contact with humans and spread (often as a result of such factors as changes in ecology and land use, increasing urbanization, and human movement). A pandemic is an epidemic that spreads to cover a broad geographic range. Despite progress in identifying the underlying factors (or “drivers”) and improvements in early warning, no emerging infection or pandemic to date has been correctly predicted before its appearance in humans. In two of the most recent epidemics, Ebola in West Africa and Zika in the Americas, the first outbreaks were initially discounted. Before the recent reports of neurological effects, Zika, a mosquito-borne virus that came to Brazil from the Pacific Islands only two years ago and had been circulating in Africa far longer, was considered a mild disease and little cause for concern. By contrast, Ebola's lethality has been legendary since its first identification in 1976, but an epidemic with over 11,000 fatalities seemed inconceivable. Such surprises demonstrate that population density, and host social and biological factors, likely play as important a role in the development of pandemics as characteristics of the pathogen, and should serve to warn against complacency. Our current approach is reactive. Although we have the capability to develop more effective systems to anticipate and prevent emerging infections and pandemics, much more needs to be done. Many effective public health measures, such as immunization and mosquito control, often become victims of their own success and are not sustained. As urbanization increases worldwide, effective and sustainable early warning and response remain ever more essential.

Learning Objectives:
1. Define and distinguish an emerging infection and a pandemic
2. Assess probable future pandemic risks and how they might be prevented

War kills civilians--but do you know how? Most people think war kills civilians through violence. In fact, war kills civilians mainly by destroying the institutions that provide human security, including health institutions. Dr. Bourdeaux proposes a new global approach to war that focuses on protecting and recovering human security systems and institutions.

Dr. Bourdeaux is a physician and global health policy analyst working at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital Division of Global Health Equity.

World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Myanmar in 2018

Deadliest Roads - Benin: https://youtu.be/oh9X-Zf4wjQ

In this acclaimed series, we journey on some of the world’s most dangerous routes and explore the lengths people go to in order to change their destinies.

In North-West Myanmar, in the most mountainous region of the country, moving around is an adventure. Travelling in his truck, Khampi faces the dangerous roads – or rather the tracks – with courage and calm. The state of the roads is a serious handicap for the people, but it has allowed the country to preserve its beauty, its authenticity and its traditions. Young Sokna is carrying on an ancient ritual: the kiss of death. Legend has it that by kissing the head of a Royal Cobra three times, the village women will quickly fall pregnant. A journey into the heart of Myanmar, far from the tourist tracks.

I have always been interested in ancient civilizations and have studied extensively from Egypt to Hebrew. One of the great mysteries is why all of our ancestors seem to be so concerned with powerful gods from other realms. Do such other realms exist? Did the ancients experience physical or spiritual phenomena? It remains a great mystery. However, as I read the ancient stories it became clear that perhaps our normal ways of interpreting their own experiences may not be entirely accurate. Perhaps they deserve another reading with a fresh set of eyes.

The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) in the Liberian Economy with Dr. George Gonpu and Chu-Chu Alex Jones

Premiere Airdate: May 24, 2014

This episode of HIKI NŌ is hosted by Damien Memorial School on Oahu.

Students from Seabury Hall Upper School on Maui follow a team of scientists as they implant, by hand, tracking devices into the bodies of tiger sharks in Hawaiian waters. The scientists are able to handle the sharks during this procedure by turning them upside down. This position places the sharks in a sleep-like state of chronic immobility. The shark-tagging project is part of a University of Hawaii at Manoa study of tiger shark behavior in Hawaiian waters.

Plus, students from Waialua High and Intermediate School on Oahu cover the "perfect storm" of factors leading to traffic and parking congestion on Kamehameha Highway near Laniakea Beach Park.

Also Featured:
Students from Maui High School tell the story of a fellow student who has a life-threatening allergy to latex and how the school and her family are trying to modify their environments to keep her safe; students from Kapaa Middle School on Kauai give us tips on how to live green; students from Hana K-12 School show us the traditional Hawaiian process of preparing hala leaves for weaving; students from Kalaheo High School on Oahu profile two young entrepreneurs who apply what they learned traveling the world to their Kailua-based business; students from Mid-Pacific Institute on Oahu report on the GPS-based craze known as geo-caching; and students from Ewa Makai Middle School on Oahu provide a primer on how to DJ with 21st-century technology -- no vinyl records involved!
