The 2016 edition of our annual Sick or Treat Charity Ball was held on October 28 at Doltone House, Hyde Park in Sydney!
It was a spectacular night and a fantastic end to our wonderful Sick or Treat campaign which ran all of October! Every year in Australia there are over 42,000 diagnoses of rare or less common cancers and around 24,000 deaths, but with your help we can change this and make sure people fighting rare cancers have access to the drugs and treatment they need.

Seit rund zwei Jahren protestiert die selbstorganisierte Gruppe "Pflege am Boden" mit ihren namengebenden Flashmobs in Berlin und ganz Deutschland gegen die katastrophalen Bedingungen in der deutschen Pflegelandschaft.
Unabhängig von Gewerkschaften und anderen großen Organisationen nehmen die Pflegekräfte die Proteste selbst in die Hand und tragen ihre Erfahrungen aus dem pflegerischen Alltag auf die Straße und bis in die Büros von Mitgliedern des Bundestages.
Daraus hervorgegangen ist die Veranstaltung "CareSlam - Vom Boden auf die Bühne. Wir sind viele! Wir sind mehr!", zu der mehrere Dutzend Zuschauer in die Studiobühne Alte Feuerwache in Berlin Friedrichshain kamen.
Nach Vorbild des Poetry Slams standen insgesamt fünf Angehörige sozialer Berufe auf der Bühne, die mal witzig, mal berührend von ihren persönlichen Erfahrungen, ihrer Arbeit und den Mängeln des Gesundheitssystems berichten. Die vorgetragenen Texte handelten sowohl von der Arbeit in der Intensivmedizin, als auch von der eigenen, schweren Erkrankung. Der Sexualassistenz und dem gerappten Aufruf, zusammenzuhalten und gemeinsam den Missständen den Kampf anzusagen. Auch die unmenschlichen Zustände in der Altenpflege wurden thematisiert.
Moderiert und organisiert wurde der CareSlam von Yvonne Falckner und Mona Löffler-Jahraus. Die Veranstalterinnen zeigten sich mit dem ersten CareSlam sehr zufrieden und wollen solche Veranstaltungen wiederholen.

Afternoon tea. With the coming of spring, it's very invigorating and motivating for my academics and life in general. The next year (at a minimum) holds so many opportunities for education and fun. I have a piano recital near the end of April, followed by the MCAT, which still needs plenty of studying. Immediately thereafter I've got finals. As it turns out, Jason wants to visit New Mexico in late May. Then I'm headed to Spain/Italy/Greece with my sister in late June/July. I have my pre-med advisor meeting in mid-July for my official letter of recommendation on behalf of UVA to my various med schools. Then the fall kicks in with more classes, including EMT-E certification (includes advanced treatment procedures and clinicals in the hospital along with ridealongs in the UVA Pegasus Helicopter). At this point, I should hopefully start hearing about med school interviews, and then by next spring I should start to hear about acceptance. All the while, I plan on continuing my involvement with the Old Rag Mountain Stewards, National Park Service Search and Rescue, and of course with CARS.
The only problem is cash flow. :-) If anyone knows of easy money, you know how to reach me....
Last six weeks of my semester are all that remain for the last grades that I'll have in my med school app. Can't hold anything back!

Kerstin Vietze nahm zum sog. Helfersyndrom Stellung und Diana Leisering berichtet von ihrer Arbeit mit geistig und körperbehinderten Menschen.

I fill-flashed this shot with a tungsten gelled speedlight. I could have shot this at a higher shutter speed, but in order to allow time for the fireworks to drag across the screen, I had to keep the shutter open longer. This also meant that I couldn't move the camera for the duration of the exposure, something not easy to do handheld. It helped that I crouched down to a more stable shooting position.
