their work in the field of animal communication, including videos of their
recent finding that deer mothers respond to cries of infants from diverse

Peace Building and Storytelling: Meeting the Needs of Children with
Refugee Backgrounds, Jan Stewart and Kirby Borgardt

Storytelling and its various forms will be discussed as a transformative
tool for building peace.

Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is an extraordinarily talented culinary ingénue. When he
and his family are displaced from their native India and settle in a quaint French village,
they decide to open an Indian eatery. However, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the
proprietress of an acclaimed restaurant just 100 feet away, strongly objects. War erupts
between the two establishments, until Mallory recognizes Kadam's impressive
epicurean gifts and takes him under her wing. Cost: $2 or 1 punch
Comfort foods trigger feelings of cozy goodness that can’t be matched by more
sophisticated dishes. However these dishes tend to have added calories and fat that
we just don’t need on a regular basis. The ladies from the Healthy Aging Resource
Team are back for another great food demonstration. They will show you how to
update a classic dish to give you that cozy feeling while still being nutritious.

Maggie (Melissa McCarthy), a struggling single
woman, moves to Brooklyn with her 12-year-old son,
Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Having to work very long
hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the
care of Vincent (Bill Murray), a bawdy misanthrope
next door. Vincent takes Oliver along on his trips to
the race track, strip club and dive bar, and an unlikely
friendship is born. The man is a mentor to the boy in
his hedonistic way, and Oliver sees the good in
Vincent that no one else can.
