1) Aaron Lau started making koa wood pens as a hobby and realized he could make money from it. He opened his first store in 2011 and has since expanded to three retail locations across Oahu selling his pens and products from other local artisans.
2) Lau used to work as a financial planner but became disillusioned with the industry. He finds more fulfillment and integrity in his current work as a small business owner.
3) His new store, Simply Wood Studios, recently opened in the Ilikai Hotel in Waikiki to showcase his unique pen designs that incorporate materials like shell and resin inlays alongside the works of other local artists.
This document summarizes a training program developed to address elder abuse in long-term care settings through role reversal sensitivity training. The training involves dividing students into "caregivers" and "residents", with residents given simulated disabilities and instructed not to speak. Caregivers are told their grades depend on residents' compliance. Both groups then perform common tasks. Surveys before and after assess changes in perspectives. The goal is for caregivers to gain understanding and empathy for residents' experiences in hopes of reducing abuse and neglect. Literature reviewed found abuse is often due to lack of understanding and burnout, so this aims to educate caregivers and improve relationships between residents and those caring for them.
This document discusses patient autonomy and physician obligations at end of life. It examines two case studies of young women with terminal illnesses who are maintaining autonomy in different ways. Brittany Maynard is moving to Oregon to pursue physician assisted suicide, while Lauren Hill focuses on raising cancer awareness and playing basketball. The document argues that physicians should support patient choices to die with dignity as long as they are competent. It also stresses the importance of advance care planning and conversations with loved ones to ensure wishes are followed.
