SUMMARY:The Burnt Part Boys at Highlands PAC
DESCRIPTION:Siblings from a mining town learn the power of self-reliance in this Appalachian\, bluegrass-inspired journey. \nLocally known as “The Burnt Part\,” the Pickaway Coal Company’s South Mountain closed down after an accident in 1952 that resulted in the death of four miners. Ten years later\, Jake Twitchell is an employee of that same company\, doing the same job that took his own father’s life.

Inspired by his silver screen heroes\, Pete sets out for The Burnt Part with his best friend\, a pack full of dynamite\, and plans to blow up the mine in hopes of protecting his older brother. This new musical is a dangerous and heartwarming adventure following the journey to discover the importance of the choices we make to protect our family.

SUMMARY:Our Dishonesty Crises: How Technology is Eroding Honesty at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Dishonesty has always been with us. But in recent years new technology has led to a variety of dishonesty crises\, in which being dishonest is easier and more tempting than it has ever been in the past. We will look closely at three examples. In the first\, deepfake videos which represent people saying and doing things they never did\, are becoming easier to make and harder to detect\, with implications for everything from our elections to the war between Ukraine and Russia. In the second\, it has become easier than ever to become a celebrity due to TikTok and other forms of social media\, but that also increases the threat of dishonest behavior. In the third\, professors are drowning in a wave of academic cheating by students using ChatGPT and other AI. All is not lost\, however\, as we will also see some practical strategies to help us resist these dishonesty crises.

SUMMARY:Behind the Scrubs: A Behind the Scenes View of the Operating Room and Hospital Quality Ratings at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder what actually happens in surgery? Many people have had surgeries\, such as a hip or knee replacement\, and they have no recollection of what happened until well into the recovery phase. \nThis lecture will cover all the stages of surgery from the other side\, from the time a decision for surgery is made through recovery. We’ll talk about the use of robotics in surgery\, how trainees participate in surgical care\, and where we are headed with surgical care in the next 10-20 years. We’ll also discuss hospital performance ratings and what they really tell (or don’t tell) us about hospital quality. We’ll seek to clarify some of the common misconceptions about these ratings and explain why they often don’t tell the full story.
