Conversations Worth Having: Author Jennie Dear Visits the Community Foundation
Some conversations are hard to start. But once you’re in them, you begin to truly value and be shaped by them. That was the experience at our most recent planned giving event, when local author and former Fort Lewis College journalism professor Jennie Dear joined us to discuss her book, What Does It Feel Like to Die? What followed was one of the most honest, tender, and unexpectedly hopeful conversations we’ve had in this series. Jennie’s path to writing this book was personal.

"Those Who Sow in Tears Will Reap in Joy"
Note: A version of this piece was delivered as the drasha on the second day of Rosh Hashanah at Darkhei Noam in New York City. Exactly five weeks and two days ago today, my husband and I got the call we had been expecting, but had hoped against hope would not come. Our doctor confirmed that, for the seventh time, I had gotten pregnant, and then lost the pregnancy. At first I sobbed, but then I went numb. I couldn’t do anything but get into bed and stay there.
Appraisal of Intraoperative Adverse Events to Improve Postoperative Care
3.1. Origin of iAEs Of all 778 iAEs, the researchers classified a total of 420 (54%) iAEs of surgical origin, 283 (36%) of anesthesia origin, 34 (4.4%) of organizational origin, and 41 (5.0%) of other origin (Figure 1). Frequency of iAE by severity grade according to ClassIntra® are depicted in Figure 1. All grades, except for grade II, were more frequently reported with surgery as the origin as opposed to anesthesia, with grade I at 113 (27%) vs. 55 (19%), grade III at 84 (20%) vs.
What If the Cleaning Isn't the Point?
Like many people, I find the period leading up to Pesach to be deeply stressful. However, I think my reason might be different than it is for most. The cleaning and kashering themselves, while time consuming, are mostly manageable. Instead, it’s the way that the narrative around Pesach preparation seems to escalate every year.
An airline employee assists travelers at a check-in kiosk at Changi Airport in Singapore, on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Starting April 1, Singapore will scrap its so-called vaccinated travel lanes and admit all vaccinated travelers who test negative before entering Singapore by air or sea and they will be exempted from quarantine or testing on arrival.
About nine months after the Singapore government committed to living with Covid-19, travel is opening up, restrictions on social distancing are being lifted and life is starting to look more like it does in the rest of the world. In a major milestone, one of the busiest land border crossings - between Singapore and Malaysia - reopened on April 1.
The Case Against Rate Hikes For Millennials
It may be inconceivable to the moneyed class, but there are in fact very good reasons not to raise interest rates quickly or dramatically. Yes, inflation is worryingly high, Ukraine is burning and Covid-19 still threatens to upend supply chains. However, the reality many Americans face-if not low-income and middle-class workers across the globe-is quite different from what the stock market and go-to suite of economic indicators tell us.

Classification of intraoperative adverse events in visceral surgery.
Intraoperative adverse events (iAEs) are frequent in visceral surgery, but severity and related postoperative outcome are poorly investigated. A novel classification of intraoperative adverse events, ClassIntra, includes surgical and anesthesiologic intraoperative adverse events using 5 severity grades and showed a high criterion and construct validity across all surgical disciplines. ClassIntra was studied for reproducibility in a prespecified group of patients undergoing visceral surgery.
Millennials are finally spending like grown-ups
Millennials are growing up. After spending years splashing out on everything from skydiving excursions to Instagrammable vacations in Peru, 30-somethings with decent-paying jobs are making lasting purchases, buying cars, houses and everything inside them. The retreat from offices during the pandemic has only cemented the urge to settle down and accumulate the trappings of adulthood.

Los Millennials finalmente están gastando dinero como adultos
Últimascotizaciones Bloomberg Opinión — Los Millennials están madurando. Después de pasar años derrochando en todo tipo de cosas, desde excursiones en paracaídas hasta vacaciones en Perú para publicar las fotos en Instagram, los treintañeros con trabajos bien pagos están haciendo compras duraderas: coches, casas y todo lo que llevan dentro. La retirada de las oficinas durante la pandemia no ha hecho más que cimentar el deseo de asentarse y acumular los adornos de la edad adulta.
Rachel Rosenthal's View to 2022: Singapore as a Global City
What to Expect in 2022:The year ahead will be critical for Singapore's future as a global financial center. While the country operated relatively well in crisis mode during the earliest days of the pandemic, its effort to "live with Covid" has been progressing in fits and starts. The main challenge will be restarting some semblance of normal travel, a critical economic lifeline and a pressure valve for an increasingly restless population.

The pandemic era battle hymn of tiger parents in Singapore
In 2014, Winston Chiu quit his successful career in private equity to groom his six-year-old daughter for greatness. Now 12, she’s a golf and tennis sensation who has qualified for junior tournaments globally. Through the years, Chiu has attended not just every competition, but every practice session, dutifully taking videos for post-mortems with his daughter. Covid has been a “frustrating" interruption, he says.
Singapore's Tiger Parents Won't Stop for Covid
SINGAPORE - JUNE 08: A woman walks a child to school donning the protective mask on June 8, 2020 in Singapore. From June 2, Singapore embarked on phase one of a three phase approach against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as it began to ease the partial lockdown measures by allowing the safe re-opening of economic activities which do not pose high risk of transmission.
The domestic and migrant workers left behind by Singapore’s travel lanes
When Singapore announced the start of quarantine-free travel to certain countries including the U.S., U.K., France and Canada, Singapore Airlines Ltd.’s website crashed and ticket prices shot through the roof. Expatriates scrambled to book trips home in time for Christmas, while cooped-up locals jumped at the chance to finally get off the tiny island. With domestic virus curbs extended recently after a surge of infections, the well-heeled are ever-more desperate to take flight.

Singapore's lauded COVID-19 response overlooked a major factor: fear
Singapore is very proud of its reputation for technocratic excellence. In recent months, government officials have tried to tackle the country’s most pressing question — how to live with COVID-19 — by scrutinizing, modeling and projecting data, as if staring hard enough at those little gray-rimmed boxes on Excel would produce the answer. The trouble with this strategy is that living with COVID-19 is messy, and the data will never look good.

But What If I'm Not Ready?
When I was a kid, I played a lot of hide and seek. I always prefered to be the seeker, instead of the hider, mostly because I found the process of finding a place to hide to be deeply stressful. Sure, there were some go-to places—the nook in my bedroom between my bed and the radiator, the drapes in the living room next to the floor lamp—but when those options had been exhausted, I often found myself increasingly anxious.
As Covid curbs return, Singapore should now focus on data that matters

The only way to make sense of a deadly virus spreading around the world was to quantify it – the number of cases and deaths, countries it had reached, age groups it affected.
Singapore still can’t live with the virus - BusinessWorld
By Rachel Rosenthal IT WAS JUST a matter of time before Singapore’s commitment to live with COVID-19 would be tested. The only surprise is how quickly that moment came and how avoidable it was. On Friday, Singapore announced it would tighten certain social-distancing measures and ramp up contact tracing and testing to contain a cluster that started at a karaoke lounge.
