Dr. Towsley, Fellow Members of the Academy and Guests: I should like to express my deep appreciation to all of you for the high honor you have conferred upon me in selecting me as your new President. I assure you that in the year to come I shall do my best to justify your confidence and to serve the Academy to the best of my ability. As Dr. Towsley indicated in his very scholarly analysis of current and future problems associated with the delivery of high quality pediatric care to the vast numbers of children in our present and future populations, this is an exciting era for pediatrics and pediatricians. There are enormous problems to be solved, but it is well to realize that the Academy has enormous strength—strength through its strong organizational pattern at the national and state levels—strength through its numerous committees of experts—and the strength that is associated with solidarity of purpose. With all these advantages, and with the full support of all of you, I face the future confident that we shall find solutions to our problems, and that the American Academy of Pediatrics will continue to play a leading role in affording proper pediatric services for the nation's children. In conclusion, and in the name of the entire membership of the Academy, I should like to express our great affection for you, Harry, and our deep appreciation of your devotion to the work of the Academy, not only during your term as President but also through the many years before. We will be needing your help and guidance in the future, and you should look forward to only a brief rest—after which you will again be in action for the Academy.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a reorganization of healthcare delivery, shedding light on the many unrealized advantages telehealth has to offer. In addition to facilitating social distancing, minimizing the risk of pathogen exposure, and preserving healthcare resources, there are many benefits of utilizing this platform that can extend beyond the current pandemic, which will change the way healthcare is delivered for generations to come. With the rapid expansion of telehealth, we present data from our high-volume academic institution’s telehealth efforts, with a more focused analysis of plastic surgery. Although state legislation regarding telehealth varies greatly, we discuss challenges such as legal issues, logistical constraints, privacy concerns, and billing. We also discuss various advantages and the future direction of telehealth not only for plastic surgery but also its general utilization for the future of medicine in the United States.

Pediatric Nurse Practitioners

Pediatrics, as practiced by practitioners, is and will remain a primary care specialty even though the composition of pediatric practice is changing. Pediatric services presently are equitably provided to children of all economic strata, but there remain unmet needs that may reasonably be expected to be fulfilled in the future with the removal of financial and access barriers as well as increased public education. Pediatricians will be able to meet the projected increase in demand. The increasing trend of pediatricians to practice in groups will continue. More and more of them will develop areas of special interest, but the percentage in purely subspecialty practice is not likely to increase. An arrangement of a group of pediatricians, all with some areas of special interest, working in conjunction with pediatric nurse practitioners or associates and with increased delegation of patient care activities, is likely to become the dominant practice pattern of the future. Pediatricians make substantial contributions to the betterment of society through unpaid community services and perceive a social responsibility, as evidenced by the large extent to which they care for Medicaid patients. There should not be an expansion in the number of subspecialty boards because this would decrease pediatrics' commitment to primary care. There must be a continuation of society's support of medical education that will not alter the supply and therefore the function of pediatricians. It is important for the American Academy of Pediatrics to reassess its members' functions periodically so it can continue to be a dominant force in the planning of future child health care and better fulfill its goal of enhancing the welfare of the children of the nation.

THE Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics has given intensive consideration to the many problems that face the practicing pediatrician in this era of rapid scientific progress, population expansion, and socioeconomic change. Rapid growth in the child population without parallel increase in numbers of pediatricians makes the delivery of quality pediatric care at the private practice level progressively more difficult. To an even greater degree, affording proper health services for the nation's underprivileged children is a tremendous challenge. Marked decrease in numbers of general practitioners reduces still further the medical manpower for child health needs. All of the problems cited above will intensify during at least the next 15 years, for it is predicted that by 1980 more than half the population in the United States will be less than 21 years old.

As Nepal forges ahead in the 21st century, linked to two Asian powers by thousands of years of shared cultures and histories, it is time for Nepal to capitalise on its heritage and look to the future. Nepal must claim and revitalise our shared histories of Hinduism and Buddhism, and create a soft power potential that emphasises traditional religious practices, natural and cultural heritage, and sustainability in a time of climate change. The paper argues that Nepal should anchor itself in the past - invoking the idea of a shared civilisation - and look to the future. The potential of religious and cultural tourism must be fully realised while being sustainable. Private sector entrepreneurship in culture must be encouraged, especially as culture itself - or the many cultures within Nepal - must be thought of as a tool to emphasise Nepal’s soft power. Nepal stands to lose US$ 460 million in the tourism sector alone due to the Covid-19 pandemic and it must diversify its tourism offerings if a recovery is desired. Building on a study of historical literature and contemporary trends in filmmaking, brand marketing and perception building, this paper argues that Nepal must invest in its culture and heritage to build an export policy around geographical indications (GIs), establish a new film production template, making it easier for foreign filmmaking companies to come to Nepal, and finally, reinvent its tourism policy in a world ravaged by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Radical Transformation

Every Olive Tree in the Garden of Gethsemane is a suite of photographic images of each of the twenty-three olive trees in the garden. Situated at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane is known to many as the site where Jesus and his disciples prayed the night before his crucifixion. The oldest trees in the garden date to 1092 and are recognized as some of the oldest olive trees in existence. The older trees are a living and symbolic connection to the distant past, while younger trees serve as a link to the future. The gnarled trunks seem written with the many conflicts that have been waged in an effort to control this most-contested city; a city constantly on the threshold of radical transformation.

The Impact

After John Cage’s 1958 Darmstadt lectures, many European composers developed an interest in absurdity and artistic provocation. Although Ligeti’s fascination with Cage and his association with the Fluxus group was brief, the impact it had on his composition was palpable and lasting. A set of conceptual works, The Future of Music, Trois Bagatelles, and Poème symphonique for one hundred metronomes, fall clearly into the Fluxus model, even as the last has taken on a second life as a serious work. This spirit, however, can also be seen in the self-satire of Fragment and the drama and irony of Volumina, Aventures, and Nouvelles Aventures. The sketches for Aventures not only show the composer channeling this humor into a major work but also prove to be a fascinating repository of ideas that Ligeti would reuse in the years to come.

Here I build upon Robert Orsi’s work by arguing that we can see presence—and the longing for it—at work beyond the obvious spaces of religious practice. Presence, I propose, is alive and well in mediated apocalypticism, in the intense imagination of the future that preoccupies those who consume its narratives in film, games, and role plays. Presence is a way of bringing worlds beyond into tangible form, of touching them and letting them touch you. It is, in this sense, that Michael Hoelzl and Graham Ward observe the “re-emergence” of religion with a “new visibility” that is much more than “simple re-emergence of something that has been in decline in the past but is now manifesting itself once more.” I propose that the “new awareness of religion” they posit includes the mediated worlds that enchant and empower us via deeply immersive fandoms. Whereas religious institutions today may be suspicious of presence, it lives on in the thick of media fandoms and their material manifestations, especially those forms that make ultimate promises about the world to come.

The future of the field of entrepreneurship is bright primarily because of the many research opportunities to make a difference. However, as scholars how can we find these opportunities and choose the ones most likely to contribute to the literature? This essay introduces me-search and a special issue of research-agenda papers from leading scholars as tools for blazing new trails in entrepreneurship research. Me-search and the agenda papers point to the importance of solving a practical problem; problematizing, contextualizing, and abstracting entrepreneurship research; and using empirical theorizing to explore entrepreneurial phenomena.

Captive Breeding Programs

Modern zoos are increasingly taking a leading role in emergency management and wildlife recovery. In the face of climate change and the predicted increase in frequency and magnitude of catastrophic events, zoos provide specialised expertise to assist wildlife welfare and endangered species recovery. In the 2019–2020 Australian bushfire season, now called Australia’s Black Summer, a state government-directed response was developed, assembling specialised individuals and organisations from government, non-government organisations, research institutions, and others. Here, we detail the role of Zoos Victoria staff in wildlife triage and welfare, threatened species evacuation and recovery, media and communications, and fundraising during and after the fires. We share strategies for future resilience, readiness, and the ability to mobilise quickly in catastrophic events. The development of triage protocols, emergency response kits, emergency enclosures, and expanded and new captive breeding programs is underway, as are programs for care of staff mental health and nature-based community healing for people directly affected by the fires. We hope this account of our response to one of the greatest recent threats to Australia’s biodiversity, and steps to prepare for the future will assist other zoos and wildlife organisations around the world in preparations to help wildlife before, during, and after catastrophic events.
