We like to think that we are one in a million, but what happens when that’s exactly the news that you don’t want to hear? Peta’s extraordinary story and that of her family is one that is desperately sad, but it has forced her to connect with others in ways she could never have expected.

Peta Murchison is a mother dedicated to raising awareness for Batten Disease — a rare degenerative genetic disease that affects otherwise healthy children who can sing, dance and bounce. From a young age affected kids start to lose their ability to walk, talk, see and smile. There is no cure for children affected and it will eventually take their lives. Awareness and research into this rare disease is imperative to find a cure.

Charisse Nixon is a development psychologist who studies at risk behavior as well as protective factors among children and adolescents. According to Nixon, we know that kids and adults are suffering. In fact, some research studies have shown that rates of depression and anxiety have actually increased over the past 50 years. According to recent research, we know that approximately 1 in 5 youth will suffer from a major depressive episode by the time they leave high school. In the middle of our fast paced, technologically driven world, adolescents stand before you — searching for purpose… searching to fit in and belong. After decades of research of those who have studied this field, one thing is very clear: meaningful connections serve as protective factors in the lives of our youth. Nixon shares her ideas on how we can help our youth build those meaningful connections.

Dr. Charisse Nixon is currently a Professor of Psychology at Penn State Behrend. She trains educators throughout the United States providing a unique integration of empirical research and practical strategies to help caring adults create environments that optimize children and adolescents’ developmental outcomes. Her research interests currently include studying effective prevention and intervention efforts related to reducing peer mistreatment and its associated harm. Building students’ resiliency through mentoring is a core tenet of her work. Charisse has a heart for young people–for young people to actually thrive and not just survive, to be the best that they can be.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Что, если все книги по тайм-менеджменту были написаны лишь для рациональной половины человечества? Что делать, если вы принадлежите ко второй половине? Если все ваши усилия по планированию приводят к нулевым результатам? Как избавится от чувства вины при виде бесконечного списка отложенных дел? И можно ли выжить во всем этом хаосе?

Детективный роман Питера Чейни — Сыщик знает больше.

Я обнаружил поразительное сходство между лагерем и волей. Между заключенными и надзирателями… По обе стороны запретки расстилался единый и бездушный мир… Мы говорили на одном, приблатненном языке… Мы даже выглядели одинаково… Мы были очень похожи и даже – взаимозаменяемы. Почти любой заключенный годился на роль охранника. Почти любой надзиратель заслуживал тюрьмы.

«Сейчас у меня хорошая работа, так что хмуриться нет причин. Не нужно общаться с тупицами в «Супр Сэвре», не нужно вывозить тележки для продуктов на площадку на автостоянке, не нужно думать о том, как отвязаться от таких говнюков, как Шкипер. Шкипер уже давно гниет в земле, но за девятнадцать лет, проведенных на планете Земля я крепко накрепко уяснил для себя: расслабляться нельзя, Шкиперов везде хоть пруд пруди.» Читает Сергей Кирсанов.
