SUMMARY:The OLLI Distinguished Speakers Series presents Professor Sara Newland on "US-China Relations Under Biden and Trump"

She is a Fellow of the Public Intellectuals Program of the National Committee on US-China Relations and a member of the US-Taiwan Next Generation Working Group.  Her research has been published in Governance\, China Quarterly\, and the Journal of Political Science Education.  \n\n\n  \nAdmission is $10 for OLLI at BCC and Berkshire Museum members\, and $15 for the general public.  Admission is free for Berkshire Community College students\, youth 17 and under\, and those holding WIC\, EBT/SNAP\, or ConnectorCare cards.\n \nPre-registration is required. Click here to register safely and securely online or call 413.236.2190 (M-F 9am-4pm) to register by phone with a credit card. \nPresented in Partnership with the Berkshire Museum.

SUMMARY:The Stompers - Farewell (Western Mass.) Performance
DESCRIPTION:Legendary Boston rockers\, The Stompers\, will make their first Berkshire County appearance in decades when they hit the stage at the Colonial on Saturday\, November 13th. \nThe group was formed in East Boston in 1977 by lead singer/guitarist and songwriter Sal Baglio and drummer Mark Cuccinello and quickly became Boston’s most popular band. As the band performed night after night in the many Boston clubs and bars of the day\, word of their incredible live performances and catchy\, high energy rock & roll tunes began to spread. In the coming years\, they performed at almost every college\, roadhouse (including Woody’s in Washington\, MA)\, nightclub\, and concert hall in New England and began to attract the attention of many major record labels. In 1980\, they signed with Boardwalk Records\, which at the time was the home of Ringo Starr\, Harry Chapin and Joan Jett. They toured with both The J. Geils Band and The Beach Boys and after recording with the Boardwalk label\, the group went on to record for Polygram Records. At Polygram\, the band became an FM radio favorite as many stations around the country featured Stomper’s songs such as “Coast to Coast\,” “Never Tell an Angel\,” “Rock Jump and Holler\,” “American Fun” and “One Heart For Sale” on their daily playlists. The Boston Globe named The Stompers as Boston’s Best Band for six consecutive years in the ’80s\, no small feat considering the many talented bands emerging from Boston during the era. The group’s popularity was unmatched in New England throughout the ’80s. \nThe Stompers continue to perform their original brand of Boston rock & roll and 2017 marked the group’s 40th anniversary. Their amazing songs sound as great as ever and their live performances never fail to provide their audience with a remarkable concert experience. \nStompers fan Adam Sandler included their songs “American Fun” and “Never Tell an Angel” on the soundtracks of his Grown Ups and Grown Ups 2 movies. The group’s legion of spirited and loyal fans have been known to drive for hours to catch one of their live shows and has kept the group performing for decades. \nFrom the bars of Boston to national prominence\, The Stompers are a true rock & roll success story. If all you really want is some “American Fun” don’t miss The Stompers’ return to The Berkshires at the Colonial.

SUMMARY:The OLLI Tech Impact Forum presents: Electrifying Transportation An Online Talk with Toyota's Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Electrified Vehicle Heads
DESCRIPTION:The OLLI Tech Impact Forum presents:\nElectrifying Transportation\nAn Online Talk with Toyota’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell and Electrified Vehicle Heads\nTuesday\, November 16\, 5 pm\nFree and open to all | Online via Zoom\nClick here to RSVP \n  \nGiven the major role of automotive transportation worldwide in the increasing level of greenhouse gas emissions\, it has become clear for years that electrification is the best way forward. At the same time\, it must be understood that electrification is the biggest transition the automotive industry has ever had to face. There are major challenges along the entire value chain that need to be resolved in order to reach this goal. One important example is the complementary role of battery electric and fuel cell electric technologies. \nTo explain and clarify these issues\, we have two speakers from Toyota\, a company that has been addressing environmental issues for over 30 years. Dr. Stephan Herbst\, currently acting as the Technical Head Powertrain Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Business Unit of Toyota Motor Europe’s (TME) R&D and Fuel Cell Business Group\, is responsible for hydrogen strategy\, new products and sustainable mobility. He is on the Management Board of the Hydrogen Council and actively involved in Hydrogen Europe. Ash Corson is the Senior Manager for the Electrified Vehicle & Technologies Office (EVTO) of Toyota Motor North America. Working within Toyota’s Corporate Strategy & Planning group\, Ash’s primary responsibilities for EVTO include North American electrified mobility progression\, fuel cell electric powertrain deployment\, and hydrogen infrastructure enablement. Our moderator will be Eric Planey\, CEO of Solablock as of September 2021. Eric has over 25 years of experience in global banking and international economic development\, with a developed expertise in emerging clean technologies. \nThis event is co-sponsored by 1Berkshire and the Berkshire Innovation Center.

SUMMARY:OLLI Presents: Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory: What's Normal\, What's Not\, and What to do About it
DESCRIPTION:Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory:\nWhat’s Normal\, What’s Not\, and What to do About it \nAn Author Talk with Andrew Budson\, M.D.\nPresented in partnership with the Berkshire Area Health Education Center \nThursday\, December 2\, 5 pm\nFREE and open to all on Zoom. Click here to register. \nAs you grow older\, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States\, the question becomes how much (or\, perhaps\, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. Join Dr. Andrew Budson for this virtual Zoom talk where he will discuss his award-winning book\, Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory: What’s Normal\, What’s Not\, and What to Do About It\, which explains how individuals can distinguish changes in memory due to Alzheimer’s versus normal aging\, what medications\, diets\, and exercise regimes can help\, and the best habits\, strategies\, and memory aids to use\, in seven simple steps. He will also discuss his newest book\, Six Steps to Managing Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia: A Guide for Families\, including how families can manage issues with memory\, language\, vision\, behavior\, driving\, incontinence\, sleep\, and more. \nAndrew E. Budson\, MD\, majored in chemistry and philosophy at Haverford College before receiving his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Budson is Professor of Neurology at Boston University\, Lecturer in Neurology at Harvard Medical School\, and Chief of Cognitive & Behavioral Neurology at the Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System. His career combines education\, research\, and clinical care to help those with memory disorders.
