SUMMARY:Conference on Near-Death Experiences while Drowning
DESCRIPTION:FT. LAUDERDALE\, FL.\, June 19th\, 2017– ISHOF: The International Swimming Hall of Fame will host a fascinating and visionary “Conference on Near-Death Experiences While Drowning”\, on Friday\, August 18th\, 2017.\nSince its inception in 1965\, ISHOF has been the “Mecca of Aquatics\,” bringing together many fascinating people and acting as the facilitator for knowledge exchange. This conference aims to bring attention to near-death experiences during a drowning episode\, a very important issue largely neglected by most aquatic safety professionals.  \n“I could see\, floating in the air\, the lifeguards attempting to resuscitate a lifeless body; it was mine.” “I saw a bright light that asked me\, in a life review\, what I have done in my life for love and learning.” “I felt peace and no fear of death.”\nThese are the words of people reporting what they experienced during the time they “died” temporarily during a drowning episode\, as reported by Holden and Avramidis in their book Near-Death Experiences While Drowning. Such Reports are termed near-death experiences (NDEs). Contemporary advances in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillation have enabled lifeguards and first responders to bring large numbers of victims back to life\, heretofore unprecedented in human history. Of the millions of those who survive drowning each year\, approximately 20% of survivors report NDEs. \nOften when victims report their NDEs to health care providers and first responders\, due to lack of information\, the confidantes may label the experience or experiencer as pathological. However\, research shows no relationship between NDEs and mental disorder. When a Near Death Experience is discounted\, it becomes psychologically disconcerting to survivors. Similarly\, the survivors or their families may believe that the experiencers have lost touch with reality. Presenters at this conference will discuss NDE characteristics that a successfully resuscitated drowning casualty might report; provide a sample of drowning NDE accounts; offer recommendations for how water safety and other healthcare professionals can use NDE related information in their work; and\, include a poster session open to any water safety- and aquatic-related professional to provide information relevant to drowning in terms of prevention\, rescue\, and treatment. This conference will provide a day of insight into this unique phenomenon\, along with providing useful professional information for first responders and medical personnel. \nConference presenters include: Bruce Wigo¸ J.D.\, ISHOF President and CEO\, discussing the importance of hosting a conference on Drowning Related NDEs; Stathis Avramidis\, DipEd\, BEd\, MSc\, MPH\, PhD\, Hellenic Centre for Disease Control and Prevention\, Seasonal Instructor of Applied Lifeguarding and Lifesaving Sport at the University of Athens\, Greece\, Greece\, who will discuss the “NDE Mnemonic” and NDE Protocol”: Two Useful Tools for Lifeguards; Dr. Janice Miner Holden\, Professor of Counseling and Chair of the Department of Counseling and Higher Education\, University of North Texas (UNT)\, who will present\, “Near-Death Experiences: An Overview of 40 Years of Research”. Other speakers include: Audrey C. Dalton\, survivor of a drowning incident who will recount her Near Death Experience; John Spannuth\, President and CEO\, United States Water Fitness Association who will discuss the Importance of Swimming and Lifeguard Lessons; and Aquatics and Drowning Prevention professional Kim Burgess\, who will discuss why learning about drowning is informative to Aquatic Safety Professionals\, First Responders and Survivor Families.  \nConference information can be found online at https://drowningnde.blogspot.com/ .  Conference registration is available on the ISHOF website. Luncheon and refreshments are included in the conference fees. Please note in addition to conference fees\, City of Ft. Lauderdale parking fees will apply for all parking facilities\, including the International Swimming Hall of Fame. All fees act as a donation to the International Swimming Hall of Fame. \n###### \nAbout the International Swimming Hall of Fame \nThe International Hall of Fame\, established in 1965\, is a not-for- profit educational organization located in Fort Lauderdale\, Florida.

SUMMARY:Saving Lives and Building Communities - Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Location: Moolgaonkar Auditorium\, Ground Floor  MCCIA Complex\, Senapati Bapat Road\, Pune\, India\nBackground\nSaving Lives and Building Communities: RLSS (I) in partnership with Mahratta Chamber of  Commerce\, Industry and Agriculture is holding the “First Ever” seminar on lifesaving in India. That we need extensive discussion on the subject across the country is of no doubt. Most accidents involve the young and are avoidable through greater safety consciousness. It is difficult to understand the public resistance to taking simple safety precautions like wearing a helmet while riding a two wheeler\, putting on safety belt in a car\, wearing lifejackets when in a boat or simply looking before leaping! It is not so much about first aid or lifesaving in water but more about public attitude to personal safety considerations. This needs to undergo a radical change that can be achieved only through education and public debate.  \nAcquiring skills to help a person in distress is thus the key to increased safety of people and reducing untimely deaths in avoidable accidents. Accidental deaths on land are visible through gore and blood but those in water are silent\, invisible and less understood. In fact\, drowning poses a great threat to  public health as India accounts for approx 23% of the global drowning (1 million people). This number is higher than lives lost to malaria\, cholera or dengue.  \nIt is good to take a cue from the West\, where a structured process supports lifesaving activities and reduces human attrition. Organisations such as UNICEF\, Royal Life Saving Society Australia and TASC (The Alliance for Safe Children) have helped reduce the numbers of deaths due to drowning in Bangladesh by implementing SwimSafe program which teaches children to swim and survive an accidental fall in deep water. Speedo International and Australian Government are working with the Rashtriya Life Saving Society (India) to implement Swim N Survive programme and lifeguard training in South India.  \nAbout the Seminar\nRashtriya Life Saving Society\, Mahratta Chambers of Commerce\, Industry and Agriculture and\, the Indian Maritime Foundation shall jointly present the seminar\, ‘Saving Lives and Building Communities’ on the 4th shall be attended by eminent International and Indian speakers and delegates from the sector\,  corporate and government.  of June 2014 from 9 am 2 pm at the MCCIA Auditorium. The conference  \nThe seminar will revolve around 4 major themes of discussion: \nCreating and Omnipresent Force – to bring about a change in the mind set of the public to add value to life with an omnipresent force alert and vigilant to save lives.\nGlobal Efforts towards Drowning Prevention – to provide the audience with an insight into global effort to reduce incidents of drowning. Globally\, drowning is the third largest cause of unintentional death amongst children.\nCSR Role in Saving Lives – to allow corporate bodies to address the audience elucidating the role of the corporate support to save lives in India and their plans for the future.\nPolicy and Standards for Saving Lives – to engage the audience and apprise it of the efforts being taken by the Government towards reducing accidents and resultant deaths on land and in water. \nObjectives of the Seminar\nCreating a structured process in support of lifesaving activity on land and in water to inculcate safety consciousness among the masses.\nTo discuss global methods to reduce deaths due to drowning with a view to adopt them or innovate fresh procedures to apply in the field to reduce drowning accidents. As per the Planning Commission\, India loses Rs. 65\,000 Crores every year on account of young lives lost in accidents.\nTo elicit corporate views on possible CSR Role in Saving Lives and impact of the effort in the past\, at present and expected in the future.\nRecommend Policy and Standards to be set by the Government to add value to life in country. \nThere are many organisations working to reduce accidents on land but hardly any that addresses drowning. RLSS (I) has evolved a structured process to deal with the epidemic of drowning and has plans and projects to: \nTrain the youth as lifesavers\, lifeguards and lifesaving sports persons to provide them with employment avenues and facilitate new career pathways along with enhanced safety in their vicinity.\nTrain children from schools\, especially those from lower income families in the Swim N Survive program. The program empowers children with skills to survive a fall in deep water. It also provides them with an opportunity to engage in sport to live healthier and more meaningful lives.\nDevelop standards for safety at aquatic venues both manmade and natural\, conduct audits of these venues and provide up to date information for safer swimming and safer operations at these locations. \nSchedule of the Seminar \n0900 – 0930 – Arrival and Registration.\n0935 – 0945 — Welcome Address by the Director General of MCCIA.\n0950 – 1000 – Seminar Introduction by Cmde Rajan Vir\, Founder President\, IMF.\n1005 – 1015 – Relevance of the Seminar to MCCIA by Mr. Surendra K Jain\, President\, MCCIA.\n1020 – 1030 — Keynote address by Rear Admiral P D Sharma\, Founder President\, RLSS (I).\n1035 – 1045 – Reading of Letter from Prince Michael of Kent\, President Royal Life Saving Society (Common Wealth) followed by “Lifesaver of the Year” award presentation by Mr. John Long\, Patron RLSS (I) and Past Secretary General\, RLSS (CW) – Guest of Honour.\n1045 — Address by the Chief Guest – Prof. Dr S.

Rashtriya Life Saving Society\, a PAN Indian NGO headquartered from Pune has been instrumental in reducing the number of deaths due to drowning in the city by training lifeguards and undertaking swimming pool audits. In 2010\, this number was brought down to zero. The effort now needs a sustained and structured method to continue to maintain the safety record.  \nAbout the Mahratta Chambers of Commerce\, Industry and Agriculture: MCCIA has been playing a significant role in accelerating the industrial and economic development of Pune region for more than seven decades now. It is one of the most active chambers of Commerce in India and has been instrumental in promoting number of institutions in Pune. MCCIA has continuously driven to make Pune a global business destination and has been catalyst for economic development of the region.  \nThrough its large and varied membership\, infrastructure and a strong will to help\, MCCAI has been serving the industry and the community well through arranging meetings\, talks\, lectures\, seminars\, industrial and entrepreneur exhibitions.  \nAbout the Indian Maritime Foundation: was established in December 1993 by a group of sea farers to rekindle maritime interest among people in India particularly children and the youth. Once a great maritime nation\, India has lost much by turning its back to the Ocean. IMF is dedicated to our country regaining its maritime heritage through a variety of activities like research in India’s maritime heritage\, co-ordinate Coastal Cleanup\, increase awareness about the Oceans\, underwater technology and bring out the quarterly journal the “Sea Gull”. The Indian Maritime Foundation is a ‘not for profit’ organization\, registered in Pune as a charitable trust. It has branches in Delhi\, Mumbai and Chennai. \nFor more details contact: Ankit..8888855919 Or Dipali..7304638357
