    Sedona AZ (February 28, 2012) – Yavapai College’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) of Sedona and the Verde Valley invites members of the community to its Lunch and Learn series on Thursday, March 8 at 12:30 pm at the Yavapai College Sedona Campus.

    OLLI is a dynamic organization within Yavapai College created to meet the needs of intellectually active mature adults.  What makes OLLI a unique learning experience is that there is no pressure of tests, grades, or papers.  It is a warm gathering of people who are endlessly curious and love to learn.

    OLLI’s Lunch & Learn series is a free, informative, midweek event that is open to all members of the community.    It is an opportunity for local residents to gather, chat, and learn the “inside story” on a wide range of topics.  Participants are encouraged to bring their lunches to the event.

    This winter term OLLI of Sedona and the Verde Valley and the Sedona Public Library are collaborating to create a new community event—Sedona I-Talks.

    “I” stands for “idea”—an “idea talk” is informative, inspiring, imaginative, and interesting.

    The Sedona I-Talk program will bring together the community’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who will share what they know best and feel most passionate about.  This program is inspired by and may some day affiliate with the TED conference and web site www.TED.com.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
