Inklusion als Banyan-Baum: Tony Booth in Köln
No full text"Seit einiger Zeit verwende ich den Banyan-Baum gerne als Symbol für Inklusion: Das ist ein wunderbarer Baum, der in Indien wächst. Das Fantastische ist, dass aus den Ästen wieder neue Wurzeln und Ableger wachsen und er sich selbst immer wieder neu sät.“ So erklärt Tony Booth sein Bild des Banyan-Baumes. Außerdem sei der Baum in Indien ein Baum, unter dem sich die Händler träfen, also ein Ort, an dem Menschen zusammenkommen. Dieses Bild bekräftige seinen Symbolgehalt für den Begriff der Inklu..
Tokyo Burning Interview with Tony Barnstone
No full textInterview with Tony Barnstone about adapting his poetry to music. Tokyo\u27s Burning is a CD that tells history from the inside, telling stories of the Pacific theater of WWII not from the God\u27s eye view but from the points of view of American and Japanese civilians and soldiers who lived and suffered through Pearl Harbor and Iwo Jima, the firebombing of Tokyo and the atom bomb drop on Hiroshima. Songs in the CD are based upon 15 years of research into the Pacific theater of WWII by Tony Barnstone—poet, author, and professor at Whittier College in Los Angeles. Tony worked with oral histories, histories, diaries, letters, and memoirs, and did his own interviews with vets and their families to write a book of poems titled Tongue of War: From Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki (BkMk Press, 2009). Though many of the songs deal with atrocity—sex slavery, torture, internment camps, even cannibalism—the CD itself is meant to take a neutral stance, allowing each character to speak his or her view, without judgment, assuming that the readers will find their own moral paths through these competing voices and viewpoints. As one character says, Seems everyone has a point of view, but no one has perspective. L.A.-based songwriters John Clinebell and Ariana Hall, who work together under the name Genuine Brandish, were commissioned by Tony to work with him to translate his book into 15 songs (with the essential help of producer Andrew Bush). What if history had a human face? What if the people who lived history could speak to it? This CD is an attempt to amplify the smaller voices, the human voices, of those who lived through the war and help them to sing history to us

Information processing and the challenges facing lean healthcare
No full textRadnor and Walley (2008) and others have identified a high failure rate in NHS lean rapid improvement events. This paper explores one reason why these failures occur: from the perspective of information processing (Galbraith, 1974), it explores the difficulties facing lean healthcare projects. Using qualitative method (pre-understanding and interviews) with analysis triangulating between data, general theory and sense-making we investigate two lean projects currently running at a Scottish hospital to identity how the absence of adequate information affects the projects. We find that the projects are critically hampered by the absence of project-level, inter-unit level and organisational level information. The practical implications of our research are to suggest that before embarking upon lean projects, hospital leaderships should explore the adequacy and integratedness of their information systems, decision-taking structures and inter-unit coordination mechanisms
