Как вы думаете, можно ли обычную панельную 10-ти этажку превратить в «Дом образцового содержания», в котором стены подъездов в итальянской плитке, керамогранитные полы, перила из нержавейки, бесшумные болгарские лифты, светодиодные светильники с оптико-акустическими датчиками, торцы дома утеплены и отделаны особо стойкой декоративной цветной штукатуркой, у подъездов пандусы, тротуары из брусчатки и многое другое?! Звучит как описание места, где живут олигархи, не правда ли?
А между тем, представьте себе, живут там обычные горожане, не потратившие ни одной лишней копейки сверх положенных платежей за обслуживание жилья!
И все это — благодаря нашему спикеру.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is either the greatest piece of social legislation in the history of the United States or it is an abomination inflicted on the American public that will ultimately destroy our health system. Insider Stanley Hupfeld dissects that health system and exposes the fallacies and prejudices of both political parties.
Stanley Hupfeld was President and Chief Executive Officer of INTEGRIS Health from July 1995 until 2010. Stan has spoken and been published widely for his expertise in the health care industry.

Dr. Conor McDonough Quinn is a documentary linguist, endangered language revitalization worker, and avid learner and teacher of languages. Raised in Portland, Maine, he has lived at length in Indonesia, China, and Oman, and has worked extensively with several indigenous communities of the Northeast. Learning his own familys endangered heritage language (hint: look at the name) in his early teens gave him a passion for helping others to do the same, and led him to pursue linguistics—somewhat single-mindedly—throughout his academic career. Alongside a hefty set of technical research questions in linguistics, he is currently most interested in developing tools to help speech communities carry out their own linguistic documentation and revitalization work, and in finding new ways to reduce the barriers to learning new languages.
