"In 1965, as part of the War on Poverty, the Office of Economic Opportunity approved a $1.3 million grant to fund the development of the first two community health centers in the United States: The Tufts-Delta Health Center in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, and the Columbia Point Health Center in Boston, which pioneered a health care delivery system that now includes more than 1,200 community centers in every U.S. state, providing care to over 24 million Americans annually. The architect of these centers was Dr. H. Jack Geiger, now known as the father of community medicine, who, along with members of the Medical Committee on Human Rights, a group of physicians active in the civil rights movement, conceived of this program in 1964. Drawing on his experience in South Africa, where he had apprenticed under Dr. Sidney Kark, who had developed community-based health centers in African townships, Geiger proposed a similar program for the poor in the United States. An advocate of the social determinants of health, Geiger created a center in Mississippi that did more than just provide clinical services; it developed innovative programs in nutrition, education, and environmental services. Out in the Rural also deals with the opposition that the center faced, from both state officials and local residents, providing insights into both race and class relations in Mississippi during the final years of the civil rights era. Finally, by examining the legacy of the Tufts-Delta Health Center, Out in the Rural provides a reevaluation of the War on Poverty a half-century after its inception."

"ABSTRACTPoverty issue in East Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) has happened for years. Some efforts have been done, but thereis no significant impact yet. Poverty issue in NTT is being the concern of Indonesia's government not only because of thehigh number of poverty, but also the location, which is in the border territory of Indonesia-Timor Leste. Actually, whetherwe realize it or not, NTT has a great potential for the problem caused by its dry soil and some social issues in its society.Some of those potential is able to be seen in five local economic sectors, i.e. demography, forestry, farming and animalhusbandry, trading, and tourism. This article is written to explain how big the potential of NTT is and how to manage itin order to alleviate poverty. The approach used in this article is qualitative approach with literature review as well asdata collecting method. There is no special method used in analyzing this article; it just utilizes objective analysis basedon current data, situation, and condition. Based on the analysis, there are a lot of potentials in NTT, but they are yet tobe developed well, whereas people are stuck in the current situation, so there is no significant achievement in povertyalleviation efforts. Potential utilization can be optimally taken through strategic, effective, and efficient efforts supportedby the government, both nationally and locally, and NTT society. Through potential optimization, the poverty rate in NTTshould be able to be pushed down."

"The physics of vulnerability is simple: If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. Brown tells us what it takes to get back up, and how owning our stories of disappointment, failure, and heartbreak gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Struggle, Brene Brown writes, can be our greatest call to courage, and rising strong our clearest path to a wholehearted life"
