KEEP LEARNING
AND
CARRY ON
From the desk of Ken Colen, President
On Top of the World Communities
Even though the iconic KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON poster was
conceived during a dark period of 20th century history, the bombing
of London, the maxim still rings true in so many situations. Indeed
it is sage advice. Master the Possibilities modified the message to
read KEEP LEARNING AND CARRY ON. This embodies the mission
and purpose of lifelong learning. We learn not only to survive but
to prevail…to carry on with a meaningful life.
The growth of our lifelong learning program is testimony to the
mindful curiosity and need to keep learning. Master the Possibilities
has been fortunate to have the support of over 8,000 students,
the expertise of 150+ instructors and the dedication of a staff who
have pushed the envelope of lifelong learning. All of these groups
continue to carry on and we are better for their interest and efforts.
It is truly a cooperative venture.
In this publication, the largest to date, we hope you see the
number and variety of offerings. We strive to listen to what
interests you and transform those interests into presentations. The
more we learn from you, the better we can develop our program
and support the need to keep learning.
Throughout this catalog you will see quotes from students and
faculty endorsing what happens at MTP. These serve as reminders
that what we do does make a difference. You will also notice
more “NEW” banners than ever before. The curriculum needs to
be fresh. Most importantly I hope you know that you are always
welcome at this Center.
Let’s all KEEP LEARNING and
we will all CARRY ON!
TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW TO HELP KEEP MTP GROWING:
When Master the Possibilites began in 2006, our first year’s enrollment was a very respectable 3,000. Now it is not uncommon to have 3,000
enrollments in a month and annual numbers exceeding 25,000. Within this growth context we continue to put the first emphasis on quality and
variety. You expect it and we demand it. With success there also come some changes and modifications in policies and procedures in how we
do business. Here’s a “top ten list” of things we want you to know in order to make the administration of this program mutually beneficial.
1. NEW REFUND POLICY. Since we began over eight years
ago, the refund policy was simple: If you paid for a class and didn’t
attend, you received your full tuition back…regardless of when you
let us know. Unfortunately, this has caused some problems. Class
costs are dependent on tuition; when we plan on a certain number
of paid students and have less, our programming ability is affected.
Many of our classes have wait lists. If someone doesn’t show up at
the last minute, we can’t get to the wait list to accommodate these
anxious students.
We want to be as generous as possible…so here’s what we have put
in place in the Winter/Spring (January-May) 2014 season. Students
will still be asked to pay within a week of their registration. There will
be full tuition refunds up to a week before the class begins. (We can
provide a check, credit your card or issue a voucher.) Students who
cancel within the week before the class start date will forfeit the full
tuition paid. If, for whatever reason, MTP has to cancel a class at any
time, full tuition paid by students will be refunded.
Let’s hope that this system works for all of us. If you have any
questions, please contact the MTP office at 861-9751. Thank you
for your support.
2. REGISTRATION. We are committed to have a variety of
ways for you to register. You can stop by the office during business
hours, use our registration telephone line 24/7 (854-3699) or
register online at www.MasterThePossibilities.com. That being said,
we encourage you to use the online alternative. Over 8,000 people
use MTP and online registration is the most cost and time effective.
We will gladly help you navigate online registration and answer any
questions you have. Register any time 24/7 and receive immediate
confirmation.
3. EMAIL ALERTS. When you register online, please take
advantage of signing up for our email alerts. They don’t automatically
come. You’ll need to request it online or fill out a request at the
center. These alerts will let you know what’s coming up the next
week as well as notify you of any new classes added that are
not in the semester catalog. There are usually a dozen or two
new classes that are primarily advertised online or via email alerts
for every season. Only about a quarter of you who use online
registration have signed up for these alerts. (Of course, you a can
opt out anytime you want.)
2
4. REGISTER EARLY & OFTEN. Early registration is highly
encouraged for all classes. (You can always cancel...up to a week
before with no penalty.) At times, people will refrain from registering
for free classes, thinking “There’s always room.” The problem with
this is that we decide to cancel classes based on the enrollment
numbers. We need to know how many are coming. Further, if
you don’t register and we cancel or postpone, we have no way of
notifying you.
5. CHANGES TO CLASSES. When classes are cancelled by us,
you will receive an email notice (if we have your email address) and/
or a call. We will also do the same if the date or time is changed. In
either of these cases, you can opt out of the class with no financial
penalties if this is a tuition class that you have paid for.
6. WAIT LISTS. Wait lists are important. If the class you want is
full, we encourage you to sign up on the wait list. Why? As people
drop out we try to contact those on the wait lists, in the order of
their sign up, to invite them to attend. To be fair, we will not allow
students not on the wait lists to attend if they show up...even if
there’s room. Wait listed people need to be recognized.
7. HOW ARE WE DOING? The late Mayor Koch was fond
of saying “How am I doing?” We need to know how our faculty is
doing. We will have simple evaluation cards in every classroom. Take
a minute to fill out and drop off in our office. We will share these
with the instructor. The MTP office is open and you should feel free
to let us know what we do well, and what we can do better. “How
are we doing?”
8. CLASS SUGGESTIONS. Let us know if you have suggestions
for topics. If we can find a credentialed instructor, we may be able
to incorporate in our curriculum. We take what we do seriously and
we are not just a “brokerage” for any kind of class. We are selective...
just like you.
9. FACULTY. Interested in teaching? Provide a proposal and
resume. We are selective but we are always looking for credible
classes and experienced, credentialed instructors. Work with us.
Our goals are the same...to provide the best in lifelong learning.
Our success is a function of your satisfaction.
10. STRESS FREE. Let’s have some fun. Learning and sharing is a
wonderful process. Let’s declare MTP is a “stress free zone.”

Thank you for your support.

NEW CLASSES ADDED THROUGHOUT THE SEASON
This Winter/Spring catalog is the largest we have ever published. Although you can choose from hundreds of programs presented here, we
will add up to another hundred new, unadvertised classes as the season progresses. We begin planning for Winter/Spring in the Summer.
We finalize the catalog about two months before classes start. In the meantime, we want to be able to take advantage of opportunities not
available before catalog distribution. How can you find out about these special events? The easiest way is to regularly check the Master the
Possibilities homepage online at masterthepossibilities.com. If you would like to receive our weekly email alerts that feature upcoming and
new programs, please sign up for the alerts online. You can also request to be included by letting us know in the office. Of course, our door is
always open, so just ask “What’s new?” and our staff will be happy to fill you in on the latest additions.
It’s a pleasure to bring you the best in lifelong learning
and your interest and support is most essential.
Thank you!
SHERIFF’S CITIZEN

Socrates Café
Instructor: Allie Gore
Classroom: Cypress Hall
Mondays, January 6, 20, February 3, 17,
March 3, 17, April 7, 21, May 5 & 19, 2014
2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
All NEW participants in this group should attend an informational class in order to be
oriented to what the “Socrates Café” is all about. Informational classes are offered first
Monday of the month, 1:45 - 2:30 pm. Participants in Socrates Café come together with
the expectation that in the process of discussing the topic of the day, personal opinions,
ideas, dogmas and beliefs will be shared and questioned. By listening to each other and
considering how we each came to our personal beliefs on any given topic, we learn
about ourselves. Christopher Phillips, author of Socrates Café, writes, “People like us
come together to share an experience which allows and even expects that we will forever
question rather than agree with one another. Socrates’ questioning was intended to help
people become more thoughtful and tolerant and rational.” We resemble a church service
— but for heretics. What connects us is the sincere desire to question and challenge even
our most cherished assumptions. Each gathering gives us an opportunity to benefit from
the perspectives of others. Class is limited to 20.

Learn how response to the major stressors of loss, life-change, fear, frustration,
performance, environmental conditions and boredom can be decreased through simple
management techniques. For most of us, our days are divided into four zones: self, home,
occupation and leisure. How much time we devote to each area is determined by our
comfort level. When any of the seven major stressors impinge on our normal routine, the
time we spend in each of the zones is altered and stress multiplies. Either the duration
of major stressors or the number of stressors endured can cause physical or emotional
damage. Learn to identify the stressor and manage it.

range from 40-100 million. Where did the flu start? How did it spread? How did Americans
cope? What were the repercussions for America and the world? These and related issues
are the focus of this presentation/discussion.
10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Health Week: Don’t Talk
Yourself Over the Hill:
A Perspective on
Psychological Aging
As the years go by, people have physical problems that need medical attention. However,
psychological aging gets little attention. This happening occurs when individuals reach
a certain age that society expects them to be “old.” People may begin to doubt their
abilities and actually think that because they are of a certain age (say 75) then they
must be old and “over the hill.” The person begins to play “helpless old person.” This
presentation will define psychological aging and how it has developed in the last five
decades. Research-based on Kuypers-Bengtsen’s social reconstruction model, we will
discuss examples of psychological aging as encouraged in films, advertisements, and
especially cartoons. In addition, we will also discuss how you can fight “talking yourself
over the hill.”
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Health Week: Muscle Tissue
Changes with Age and
How to Maintain Functional
Independence

factors create this change. (3) What can be done to slow down or reverse this change.
(4) Lifestyle modifications that can be made at any age that will have a positive impact
on independent living.

Equine Rescue rehabilitates these foals, often helping them making a complete recovery.
While enjoying the tour you will see the horses at feeding time and learn about special
dietary needs. Each rescued animal has a personality. Get to know them if you chose to
brush or pat or give a carrot to two! Refreshments will be served. We are asking for a $15
donation at the door. OER is located at 13201 NW 97th Place, approximately 18 miles

What is Rhinitis and
How to Treat this Condition
Instructor: Dr. G. Edward Stewart II
Classroom: 1
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Join Dr. Stewart on this most interesting and informative presentation on rhinitis. This
condition is identified as an irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane inside
the nose. Common symptoms of rhinitis are a stuffy nose, runny nose and post-nasal
drip. The most common kind of rhinitis is allergic rhinitis, which is usually triggered
by airborne allergens such as pollen and dander. Allergic rhinitis may cause additional
symptoms, such as sneezing and nasal itching, coughing, headache, fatigue, malaise and
cognitive impairment. The allergens may also affect the eyes, causing watery, reddened
or itchy eyes and puffiness around the eyes. Dr. Stewart will discuss several treatment
options as well as how we are affected here in Central Florida.
Health Week: Tai Chi
for Beginners
Instructor: Art Stalbow
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

What is InterStim Therapy?
Instructor: Dr. Derek J. Thompson
Classroom: LOH
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Acupuncture
InterStim Therapy is a proven neuromodulation therapy that targets the communication
problem between the brain and the nerves that control the bladder. If those nerves are
not communicating correctly, the bladder will not function properly. InterStim Therapy
was approved by the FDA in 1997 for urge incontinence and since 1999 for urinary
retention and urgency-frequency.
Instructor: Dr. Zafer Sabawi
The science and art of acupuncture has existed for centuries. Only recently has it become
a very popular complementary therapy in the West. Join Dr. Zafer Sabawi for a discussion
of acupuncture: what it does, how it does it, and if it can be helpful for you.

Health Week: FUNctional
Fitness Should be FUN!
Instructor: Cammy Dennis
Classroom: LOH
Thursday, January 16, 2014
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Functional fitness training is among the top industry trends for good reason; this type of
training supports how we function in real life. We all want to function well but we don’t
all want to exercise! The objective of this class is to demonstrate how you can create your
own training program that is FUNctional and FUN. Discussions on aging often highlight
the importance of ADL’s (Activities of Daily Living) and the vital relationship these have
on independence. This ‘show & tell’ discussion will examine ADL’s and present various
opportunities for you to support function and preserve independence. When you put a
little FUN into FUNctional fitness, it won’t seem so much like exercise and will keep you
coming back for more!
Basic Survival Spanish I
Classroom: 2
Thursdays, January 16, 23, 30 & February 6, 2014
1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Health Week: Posture Proud —
Caring for our Carriage
Instructor: Jessica Pinkowski
Classroom: 1
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
This course is designed for students who have taken Basic Survival I or have some prior
knowledge of Spanish. It will emphasize having fun and using Spanish in practical
situations. Some new vocabulary and structures will be introduced. You will need to
purchase Spanish Made Simple by Judith Nemethy (ISBN 13: 978-076915410 available at
Amazon.com for $9.04).
As the result of certain circumstances in the aging process, we may become more
susceptible to deviations in our posture. The unfortunate consequence resulting from
not holding your ‘carriage’ properly is poor movement mechanics, or in simpler terms…
we don’t walk, bend, lift, reach or balance as well. This workshop will focus on the
importance of dynamic and static postures, along with tips on how to ‘care for your
carriage’ and improve your posture. This class will implement some basic movements
that you can do at home to improve your posture and reduce your risk of injury. Join this
empowering discussion and walk away ‘Posture Proud’ with tools that will help you to
achieve immediate results.

over 13 years. This class is for beginners. Tiles will be provided but the additional card will
have to be purchased by students. It is available at the Market of Marion or Mary will be
able to order them direct if you prefer. This game is very popular and everyone enjoys
playing as many times a week as they can get a game together. You will learn strategy and
techniques. Hope you will join us and become a fan of this game, too.

Writing Your Memoir
Classroom: 3
Monday & Wednesday, February 10 & 12, 2014
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
A number of people have asked about writing their memoirs, not for publication, but
to share with family and friends, so this class is designed for beginners. A memoir is
a personal narrative of a memorable period of your life. It is also possible to write a
memoir of another person from interviews and chronicles made by them. Memoir is
highly dependent on description; of person, places, things and especially events. As in
all writing, organization is key to an interesting tale. The information might be family
history or about your life in an historic period. You may want to recall family traditions
or create a remembrance of family stories. It could even be a holiday cookbook using the
special recipes donated from family and friends with a paragraph about each person as
you remember them. Getting started is half the fun of writing about a part of your life
that you want to share. It’s amazing how the memories flood onto the page when you
start the process of life review and how satisfied you can feel sharing these moments
with others. In two two-hour sessions students will examine the basics of beginning
a memoir, select a time frame or theme, learn what needs to be included to give your
stories sparkle and write the first story. Once a format is established you should be able
to complete about ten pages in this short period of time.

A Spartan Game
Instructor: Terry Tibbetts
Classroom: LOH
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Even after forty years, the Vietnam War is a painful memory for many Americans. The
U.S. presence originally was to save the country from Communism, but we lost the war
and lost 56,000 soldiers. Virtually no one knows when, how, or why things began to turn
bad. But Terry Tibbetts, in his book A Spartan Game, has spelled out the truth. It was at
10:00 in the morning of October 17, 1967 at the battle of Ong Thanh. The battle was
poorly planned, resulted in disaster, and was covered over with lies to the media. The
media never again trusted the military and passed that distrust to the American public.
Mr. Tibbetts will lay out the complete story with the assistance of Clark Welch and Jim
Shelton, two Florida residents and former Army officers who were there, who tried in
vain to prevent the disaster and have spent their lives since with sorrowful reminiscences.

Energy Outlook
Instructor: Dr. Paul Albats
Classroom: LOH
Tuesday, March 4, 2014
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
The price of U.S. produced natural gas has been driven to historic lows because of the
large gains in production achieved through horizontal drilling combined with hydraulic
fracturing. We have suddenly gone from a potential shortage of gas to a large surplus!
How will this change U.S. energy use? What is hydraulic fracturing (fracking)/horizontal
drilling? Is this really good news? Can we manage the environmental risks and build
public acceptance? We will examine these topics guided by the 2012 book, “Energy for
Future Presidents”, by R. Muller. Muller led the Berkely Earth Temperature project which
was funded by both the Koch brothers and Bill Gates. The implications of the projects’
results — the earth’s climate change — for our energy policy will be discussed.

Our Energy Future: The
Outlook for Clean Renewables
Instructor: Dr. Paul Albats
Classroom: LOH
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Over the last ten years it has become clear that ever increasing emissions from burning
fossil fuels is the main component causing global warming. China’s economic growth
goes directly with growth in coal consumption. In the developed world, the windfall of
low cost natural gas (with half the greenhouse emissions of coal) is important in reducing
harmful effects. This is touted as “a bridge” to clean energy. But what are possible clean,
renewable energy options? Is nuclear really clean? How about the waste storage issues?
What is a realistic role for solar energy? Why does it produce only limited power in
Australia when there are huge available areas for solar farms? We will use R. Muller’s
latest book “Energy for Future Presidents” as a guide.
Tunisia: Tipping Point
of the Arab Spring
Come with me to the beautiful, unknown land of Tunisia. You will see the best Roman

Arab Spring. According to our contacts, that struggle is still going on. You will be
enthralled by the beautiful deserts, friendly people that we met, and the importance
of this unknown land.

Life in Saudi Arabia, 1977-1982
Instructor: Bill Shampine
Classroom: LOH
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1932, but major development was postponed until
after World War II. By the ‘60s and ‘70s the Saudi government had lots of money, but
was not quite sure how to spend it wisely in order to advance the welfare of its citizenry.
Public infrastructure was poor, agriculture was largely subsistence farming, water was in
short supply, and money was everywhere. The Saudi government decided to seek outside
expertise to help them move forward. Among other things, Saudi Arabia established a
program with the United States Government in 1975 (or 1976) called the United States
– Saudi Arabian Joint Commission on Economic Cooperation; or USREP/JECOR as known
by the participants. The program was funded at a level of about $500 million (all Saudi
money), with the U.S. Government charged with providing technical expertise in a very
broad range of activities. Bill Shampine, who was a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological
Survey, was part of a small team of hydrologists who moved to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with
their families in order to serve as technical experts in the Ministry of Agriculture and
Water. He was there for six years, from January 1977 through 1982. In the late ‘70s and
the early ‘80s Saudi Arabia was very much like a boom town in the old California gold
rush days, and a very interesting place to work. Bill will provide a brief history of Saudi
Arabia, pictures showing what the country looks like, a display of Bedouin jewelry, several
ceremonial knives, and some regional clothing. He also will describe what life was like for
him and his family.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink
of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most
illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.
Montag begins to question everything he has ever known when his wife attempts suicide
and his neighbor disappears. He starts hiding books in his home, and when his pilfering
is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life.
“I Robot” is a collection of nine science fiction short stories. The stories originally
appeared in the American magazines Super Science Stories and Astounding Science
Fiction between 1940 and 1950. The stories are woven together as Dr. Susan Calvin tells
them to a reporter in the 21st century. Though the stories can be read separately, they
share a theme of the interaction of humans, robots and morality, and when combined
they tell a larger story of Asimov’s fictional history of robotics.
“War Games” is a 1983 American Cold War science-fiction film. A young hacker,
David Lightman, unwittingly accesses WOPR, a United States military supercomputer
programmed to predict possible outcomes of nuclear war. Lightman gets WOPR to run
a nuclear war simulation, originally believing it to be a computer game. The simulation
causes a national nuclear missile scare and nearly starts World War III.
Nineteen Eighty-Four is a classic novel in content, plot and style. Many of its terms
and concepts have entered everyday use since its publication in 1949. Moreover, 1984
popularised the adjective Orwellian, which describes official deception, secret surveillance,
and manipulation of the past by a totalitarian or authoritarian state. In 2005, the novel
was chosen by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923
to 2005.
Logan’s Run is a 1976 American science fiction film directed by Michael Anderson
and starring Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah
Fawcett and Peter Ustinov. It depicts a dystopian future society in which population
and the consumption of resources are managed and maintained in equilibrium by
the simple expedient of killing everyone who reaches the age of thirty, preventing
overpopulation. The story follows the actions of Logan 5, a “Sandman”, as he runs from
society’s lethal demand.

Ethics in End-of-Life Care
Barriers to Hospice Care
What is Palliative Care?
Monday, May 5, 2014
Ethical issues near the end of life often arise because of concerns about how much
and what kind of care make sense for someone with a limited life expectancy. There is
often conflict between physicians or nurses and family members about what constitutes
appropriate care. Many of these conflicts can be avoided by clarifying who makes the
difficult decisions to limit care and by advance care planning.
Hospice can provide a valuable service to dying patients and their families, but doctors
and patients are often reluctant to discuss using hospice until it is too late for them to
derive many of the benefits the service offers. We will discuss the role and services of
hospice, explore misconceptions about hospice care, barriers to discussing the issue, and
suggest what to say to facilitate conversations.
Palliative Care is a holistic approach for individuals of any age who have a chronic, lifelimiting illness that is affecting their quality of life. Patient-centered, family-focused care
targeting quality of life issues, comfort care and symptom management is provided by an
integrated multidisciplinary team with the goal of relieving suffering whether physical,
spiritual or psychosocial. This presentation will be given by a medical professional from
the Center for Comprehensive Palliative Care, an affiliate company of Hospice of Marion
County, Inc.

the United States; and the disastrous consequences for security in central Africa, which
continue today.
The hunter-gatherers (“Bushmen”) of southern Africa’s Kalahari Desert represent the
oldest existing genetic and linguistic links to the human family. This presentation
explores how San-speakers, with their distinctive “click” languages, have adapted to
this difficult environment. It covers aspects of San history, economy and religion, and
includes anecdotes of personal experiences.

Science for Today Series
Instructor: Martin Hoffert
Classroom: LOH / 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Our civilization, as enabled by several scientific and industrial revolutions, runs on fossil fuel energy like the Roman Empire ran on
slavery. But fossil fuels are limited in several ways. True, there’s enough energy in “unconventional” sources like tar sands and shale
oil and gas accessible though “fracking” for a few centuries or more at some environmental cost. Unfortunately, the fossil fuel carbon
dioxide greenhouse global warming already in progress is qualitatively different, with well-documented sea level rise, more intense
storms, disappearing sea ice and alpine glaciers, melting Greenland and Antarctic ice caps, and shrinking habitats for species like Polar
Bears, all predicted decades ago by climate scientists, including this instructor. It could turn Earth into a climatically different planet; in
some ways similar to the mid-Cretaceous when sea level was a hundred meters higher and dinosaurs roamed a green Antarctica.
All the world’s national academies of science including the US agree human-caused global warming is real and potentially a huge threat
to civilization. But governmental action to combat it is politically gridlocked and scientifically ill-informed. Unchecked, human-caused
climate change is far enough along, and the prospects for reversing the increasing fossil fuel CO2 emissions driving it in time to matter
are bleak. A sizable contingent of researchers believe planetary scale “geo engineering,” like seeding the stratosphere with sunlightreflecting aerosol layers sprayed from aircraft, will be needed to slow, if not reverse, it. In addition a transition to renewable and/or
nuclear energy is needed in any case for a sustainable high tech civilization of seven billion humans.
An Introduction
Martin Hoffert is offering 3 science classes at Master the Possibilities Winter Session. In
this introduction period, professor Hoffert will explain the format of the classes with brief
description on their content.
11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Renewable Energy
A practical introduction to low carbon-dioxide-emitting solar, wind and biomass energy.
Could we, for example, cost-effectively power the lifestyle of typical retired seniors in
Central Florida retirement homes with current technology? (The instructor is performing
a real-life solar panel experiment in his new OTOW home to determine this.) Can we in fact
break our present-day addiction to coal, oil and natural gas now running our homes,
cars, manufacturing and commercial transportation infrastructure through market
mechanisms? How much fossil fuel is left? Oil and natural gas “peaks,” nuclear power
and safety, and the biggie, climate change from the fossil fuel, are discussed; as is energy
demand reduction in green homes, transportation and manufacturing. Also covered
(lightly) are capital versus levelized costs of solar and wind electricity, solar hot water,
photovoltaic electricity from rooftops and solar farms, net metering, hybrid and plugin
electric cars and the energy storage bottleneck. Finally, we delve into future expansion
and breakthroughs, subsidies, rebates and feed-in tariffs.

A shorter updated version of an NYU course I taught to undergraduate non-science
majors. From the original syllabus: “We live at a unique time in history. Science, by the
early 21th century, has created for the first time a coherent story of the creation and
evolution of our Universe (there may be more than one) from the first moments of the
Big Bang to the appearance of human intelligence. This story — essentially a scientific
account of Genesis—should be a part of the intellectual foundation of all educated
persons.” Topics include the nature of stars and galaxies, the origin of planets, the Earth
System (the atmosphere, oceans, lithosphere and biosphere), the evolution of lifeforms by
natural selection, including Great Apes and modern humans, evolutionary psychology,
the neolithic revolution, human technologies and their environmental impacts, global
warming as inadvertent planetary engineering, space exploration and the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).
Science and Politics
Turning from the farthest reaches of the cosmos to earthly politics, we conclude by
exploring the breach between scientific understanding and realities of political systems
viewing scientists as just another special interest, like lawyers lobbying for paymasters. Is
there even an objective reality out there, some politicos say, that scientists have special
access to? Influential US Congresspersons have said “no,” often attacking scientists
as messengers. Challenges by authorities to science are as old as Galileo. Issues today
are different: denials of climate science, the efficacy of immunization, even Darwinian
evolution. Astronomer Carl Sagan warned of this danger in “The Demon-Haunted World:
Science as a Candle in the Dark,” one of his last books. Scientists can no longer, if they
ever could, simply offer their findings in the expectation that political leaders will do the
rational thing. On a positive note, it is encouraging that science-inspired entrepreneurial
heroes, like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Elon Musk, whose dreams our stuff is made of, offer
alternatives to science denialists leading the public down blind alleys. Implementing the
best science-based options, whatever one’s values, will, as always, require political action.

Not For Ourselves Alone:
The Story of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony
Women Who Make America
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Taking a fresh and contemporary look at a pivotal event in American history, IRON
JAWED ANGELS tells the true story of how defiant and brilliant young activists Alice Paul,
played by Hillary Swank, and Lucy Burns, played by Frances O’Conner, took the women’s
suffrage movement by storm, putting their lives at risk to help American women win the
right to vote.
This documentary tells the dramatic, little known story of one of the most compelling
friendships in American history. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were born
into a world ruled entirely by men. By the time their lives were over, they had changed
for the better the lives of a majority of American citizens. Their personal relationship
was often turbulent but they never wavered in their shared belief that equality was the
birthright of every woman, and for more than half a century they led the fight to make
that dream a reality.
This documentary tells the story of the most sweeping social revolution in American
history, as women have asserted their rights to a full and fair share of political power,
economic opportunity and personal autonomy in the last 50 years. It’s a revolution that
has unfolded in public and private, in courts and Congress, in the boardroom and the
bedroom, changing not only what the world expects from women, but what women
expect from themselves. Makers brings this story to life with priceless archival treasures
and poignant, often funny interviews with those who led the fight, those who opposed
it and those first generations to benefit from its success.

Miss Representation
Writer/director Jennifer Siebel Newsom interwove stories from teenage girls with
provocative interviews from the likes of Dr. Condoleezza Rice, Lisa Ling, Nancy Pelosi,
Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Rosario Dawson, Dr. Jackson Katz, Dr. Jean Kilbourne and
Gloria Steinem to give us an inside look at the media and its message. As the most
persuasive and pervasive force of communication in our culture, media is educating yet
another generation that a woman’s primary value lay in her youth, beauty and sexuality
— and not in her capacity to lead, making it difficult for women to obtain leadership
positions and for girls to reach their full potential. This film accumulates startling facts
and statistics that leave audiences shaken, armed with a new perspective, and asking the
question, “What can we do?”

The Root Cause
Thursday, May 8, 2014
Allergic Rhinitis is a very common condition that is on the rise! It currently affects up
to 40% of children and 10-30% of adults in the United States. It is characterized by
annoying nasal symptoms including discharge, itching, sneezing, congestion and
pressure. It commonly leads to sinus infections. In this lecture, Dr.Yousef Elyaman will
discuss prevention and treatment of this common condition.
Despite our advancements in medicine, chronic disease is on the rise. Unfortunately,
everyone seems to focus only on medication and ignore diet and lifestyle changes. In
this class, Dr. Yousef Elyaman will discuss ways of treating disease starting with diet and
nutrition.
There are over 80,000 chemicals unleashed in our environment today. Decreasing our
toxic exposure can be overwhelming. In this workshop Dr. Elyaman will go over some
easy, cost-effective ways of decreasing the body’s toxic burden.
Although usually overlooked, the gut is responsible for a lot more than just digestion
and absorption. It produces 75% of our body’s neurotransmitters, contains two thirds
of the body’s immune tissue, and 10 times more cells than the rest of the body. It is also
metabolically greater than the liver. In this course, Dr. Yousef Elyaman will show you how
the gut is the gateway to disease.
Instead of just dismissing chronic disease to our genes, we need to take a different
approach. The truth is that disease is affected by our genes but most importantly by our
environment. There are 7 clinical imbalances that cause all disease. Instead of just taking
a particular drug for a particular disease we need to look at the underlining cause of the
disease. Our goals should be finding the root cause, stopping it from getting worse, and
reversing the damage as much as possible. This will hopefully be the first in a series of
lectures focused on “the root cause” of disease.

Italian Film Series
Classroom: Cypress Hall / 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Baarìa
The Sicilian Girl
Golden Door
The course of a lifetime reflects the evolution of a country as young Peppino
takes work as a shepherd to support his family in the Sicilian town of
Bagheria, nicknamed “Baarìa” by its residents. During the next five decades
he experiences the passionate love of his life, undergoes a powerful political
awakening and discovers a destiny he could have never imagined. A visual feast
featuring a powerful score by legendary Academy Award-winning composer
Ennio Morricone, Baaria captures the past century with a mesmerizing beauty
and rare cinematic power.
Based on the true story of Rita Atria and Judge Paolo Borsellino, The Sicilian
Girl is the dramatic retelling of Atria’s story: how a 17-year-old Sicilian whose
father and brother were both Mafia members (and victims) breaks the vow
of silence that enshrouds that world, and gives evidence to famed antimafia judge Borselino. Drawing upon Rita’s extensive diaries, director Marco
Amenta tells her story, beginning in Sicily in 1985. A small child experiences
her beloved father as a respected member of the community, a man to whom
the neighbors turn for help when a rapacious landlord orders their eviction.
Soon after, he’s shot dead in the sun drenched village square as his daughter
looks on. Six years later, her brother is murdered.
Sicilian peasant Salvatore yearns for a better life, one he believes exists only
in the fabled land known as America where carrots grow taller than men,
rivers flow with milk and golden coins rain from the trees. He sells everything
he owns to make the trans-Atlantic passage with his two sons and elderly
mother. On the perilous steamship crossing, Salvatore meets a mysterious,
worldly Englishwoman, Lucy (Charlotte Gainsbourg), and an unexpected
romance unfolds. But neither Salvatore nor Lucy is prepared for the arrival at
Ellis Island, where families are inspected, interrogated and split apart. They
will have to bravely face their personal and collective dilemmas in order to
become part of the American dream.

miles per hour in pursuit of elusive targets. Learn why raptors are our friends
and what invaluable services they perform for us. We couldn’t live without
them! This course will concentrate on the Accipiters, Buteos and Falcons, which
regularly occur in Florida. You will find it is easy (well, at least easier) to quickly
and confidently identify these wonderful birds with just a glance when you
know the right clues.

Puerto Rico
Instructor: Dennis Hisey
Puerto Rico, officially the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, is an unincorporated
territory of the United States, located in the northeastern Caribbean, east of
the Dominican Republic and west of both the United States Virgin Islands and
the British Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico comprises an archipelago that includes
the main island of Puerto Rico and a number of smaller islands, the largest of
which are Vieques, Culebra, and Mona. The main island of Puerto Rico is the
smallest by land area of the Greater Antilles. It ranks third in population among
that group of four islands, which include Cuba, Hispaniola (Dominican Republic
and Haiti), and Jamaica. Official languages of the island are Spanish and English,
with Spanish being the primary language. Join Dennis for a journey to this
beautiful island, its authentic foods, and more.

Philippines
Instructor: Magelia Taparan
Romania
Instructor: Joerg Stadlmueller
Spain
Instructor: Sofia Hanabergh
England is part of the United Kingdom sharing land borders with Scotland to
the north and Wales to the west. Most of England comprises the central and
southern part of the island of Great Britain which lies in the North Atlantic. The
country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the
Isle of Wight. Jennifer, a native of England, will make this presentation very
entertaining and informative covering things like population, government,
religion, tradition and much more. Jennifer will include the historic gems of
that lovely country. Time permitting, she will also touch on academic history,
Oxford and Cambridge.
The Philippines, officially known as the Republic of the Philippines, is a
sovereign island country in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean.
Located in Southeast Asia, the country is an archipelago consisting of more
than 7,100 islands, of which more than 800 are inhabited. The major island
groupings are Luzon in the north, the Visayas in the center and Mindanao in
the south. With a population of more than 98 million people, the Philippines
is the seventh most populated Asian country and the 12th most populated
country in the world. Join this presentation to learn a about the culture, food,
language, economy and most interesting places to visit.
Romania is a country located at the intersection of Central and Southeastern
Europe, bordering on the Black Sea. Romania shares a border with Hungary
and Serbia to the west, Ukraine and Moldova to the northeast and east, and
Bulgaria to the south. At 238,391 square kilometres (92,043 sq mi), Romania
is the eighth largest country of the European Union by area, and has the
seventh largest population of the European Union with 20,121,641 people
(20 October 2011). Its capital and largest city is Bucharest, the sixth largest
city in the EU. With all this unexpected geography (who would have thought
Romania was so large and in consequence so important in a unified Europe?)
come centuries of being “suspended” between Orient and Occident. Wedged
between the central European Austro-Hungarian Empire (“k & k”) and its
Hungarian predecessor and the for centuries expansive Ottoman Empire, it
spent much of its history (ca. 1450 to 1866) as a tributary or vassal of the latter.
Before that it often bravely defended the Christian cause against Islam. Today,
Romania, with its knowledge, its insights and its tradition spread “between
Orient and Occident” can be and is destined to be a bridge, uniting these
two worlds. A Roman province since emperor Traian in AD 106 conquered it,
it is also the eastern outpost of Latinity in Europe — Romanians love France
and all things French — set in a sea of Slaws (Bulgarians, Serbs, Ukrainians,
Russians). When you speak Romanian, you can fake speaking Italian as the
two languages are so similar. “Hors d’oeuvres” of the Romanian’s delightful
take on communication (always witty, succinct and based solidly in an agrarian
tradition) will be served throughout the talk, free of (additional) cost. Join
Joerg, a native of Romania, ethnic German, for this one hour presentation
in which he will share a little about the history, culture, current politics and
economy, religion, photo highlights of this beautiful country and much more.
Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain, is a sovereign state and a member state
of the European Union. It is located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern
Europe. It is one of three countries (Morocco, France) to have both Atlantic and
Mediterranean coastlines. Spain occupies 85% of the Iberian Peninsula, which
it shares with Portugal. Come learn about Spain’s history, monarchy, economy,
religion, tradition and places of interest.

Code Breaking Series
Instructor: Dr. James Kuzmanovich
Classroom: LOH / 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
In recent years there have been movies, television shows, books and articles devoted to the breaking of the German Enigma coding
machine during WWII. Code breaking’s role in the Pacific war is equally interesting and just as important, but other than the movie
Midway, less attention has been paid to it. While the Enigma story is primarily British, this story is almost entirely American. The
purpose of this series of classes is to give the history of American code breaking, give the human stories involved, and describe the role
code breaking played in the conduct of the war in the Pacific.
The Beginnings of U.S. Army
Code Breaking Efforts
The Beginnings of U.S. Navy
Code Breaking Efforts (Cont.)
Code Breaking’s Role in
the Pacific War
Topics include: the creation shortly after WWI of the first American code
breaking group under the direction of the inimitable poker-playing character
Herbert O. Yardley; its termination by Hoover’s Secretary of State Henry L.
Stimson (“Gentlemen don’t read each other’s mail.”); Yardley’s tell-all best seller
entitled The American Black Chamber; the book’s impact in Japan because of
its revelations about the United States’ use of code breaking in negotiating
the Washington Naval Treaty; the transfer of Yardley’s files to the Army which
created a code breaking group under the direction of William F. Friedman; and
the breaking of the Japanese encryption machine Purple by Friedman’s group.
Topics include: U.S. Navy code breaking which started with the creation of
OP-20-G under Laurence Safford; Agnes Driscoll, a master cryptographer who
was responsible for training Navy code breakers in advance of WWII; Joseph
Rochefort who was in charge of Station Hypo in Honolulu; the breaking of the
Japanese naval code JN-25 by Rochefort’s group; The Battle of the Coral Sea;
the Battle of Midway; and what happened to Joseph Rochefort (no good deed
goes unpunished).
Topics include: the use of code breaking in U.S. submarine warfare; the
shooting down of Yamamoto; Japanese Army codes; MacArthur’s use of signals
intelligence; the Navajo code talkers; the sinking of the USS Indianapolis,; and
what did we know before Pearl Harbor.

Gilbert & Sullivan Film Series
Instructor: Richard Belz
Cox and Box
Patience
Princess Ida
The Story of Gilbert and Sullivan
Not a “true” Gilbert & Sullivan production, it was composed by Sullivan after
the partnership with Gilbert ended, but Gilbert didn’t write the libretto. Briefly,
Cox and Box is the story of two men who each rent a room. Since one works
days and the other nights, the enterprising landlord figures why not just rent
one room to both of them. He will double his profit and no one will be the
wiser. Of course, things go rapidly downhill when the men inevitably meet
and discover they are both betrothed to the same woman. Finally, in true G&S
fashion a long lost secret is revealed and all is made well.
In a world gone mad with languid ladies and affected gentlemen, the
lovesick maidens of Castle Bunthorne forsake their handsome soldier
suitors to pursue poet aesthete - and fake - Reginald Bunthorne. But, he
loves the village milkmaid, Patience, who doesn’t like poetry or understand
love. When Patience does finally learn what love is, she falls in love with
Reginald’s rival. Oops.
King Hildebrand and his son, Hilarion, are in their castle awaiting the arrival
of King Gama and his daughter, Princess Ida. The royal offspring have been
betrothed for 20 years, since they were children. When Gama arrives without
Ida he explains that she has renounced men and formed a women’s university
from which males of all species are barred. Gama is held hostage, while
Hilarion and two of his friends determine to storm Ida’s castle and woo her
into submission. This being G&S, you can guess the likely outcome.
This film, from 1953, is somewhat different from Topsy Turvy, the film which
began the series. Topsy doesn’t really go into their lives and focuses more on
the creation of The Mikado. After seeing this film you will have a much better
understanding of what made the Gilbert-Sullivan-Carte partnership work so
well, and what supposedly led to its undoing (even after all these years there is
still disagreement as to what actually happened).

Best Foreign Films of 2013 Series
Instructor: Richard Copeland
Every year the Academy Awards recognizes excellence in international films. While we are almost exclusively American movie aficionados,
often times we think that we may be missing out on something important. If you ever thought you’d like to sample the international
marques, now is the time. Here is a selection of five movies nominated including the winner from 2013. They represent different nations
and diverse topics.
Kon-Tiki
No
War Witch
A Royal Affair
Amour
A biography from Norway, “Kon-Tiki” tells the story of anthropologist Thor
Heyerdahl who built a balsawood raft and sailed 4,300 miles from Peru to
Polynesia in 1947 to prove his theories to the scientific community.
Mexican heartthrob Gael Garcia Bernal plays Rene Saavedra, a Chilean
advertising executive who works with opponents of the Pinochet regime to
defeat Augusto Pinochet in the 1988 referendum.
This Canadian production, which aired at Tribeca, follows Komona, a young
girl who is kidnapped by African rebels at the age of 12. She is forced to kill
her own parents and become a child soldier fighting against the government,
but the supernatural twist in the story gives her the title War Witch.
Mads Mikkelsen (who played the Bond villain in Casino Royale) plays a
Hamburg doctor named Johann Struensee who falls in love with Queen
Caroline Mathilda, married to the mad King Christian VII. The Washington
Post wrote, “Mikkelsen easily proves why he’s Denmark’s leading man, playing
Struensee with a combination of reserve and quiet sex appeal.”
This year’s favorite, from Austria, is about a retired music teacher and her
husband of sixty years who struggle with her failing health. As Georges cares
for the increasingly unhappy Anne, the pair finds the nature of their life
together irrevocably changed. “Amour” is also nominated in the Best Picture
category. The Daily Beast noted it’s the first film not in the English language
to earn that honor since 2006’s “Letters from Iwo Jima.”

Lewis & Clark Film Series
Instructor: Richard Belz
As we all know, in 1804 President Thomas Jefferson sent his personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, on a journey to explore the newly
obtained Louisiana Purchase. Since the United States now ended at the spine of the Rocky Mountains there was obviously more to
the story in ordering Lewis to continue on to the Pacific Ocean. Jefferson wanted to find a water level route to the Pacific so America
could easily trade with China and Japan. Although there were a few tense moments with Native American tribes, almost all of their
interactions were peaceful. Indeed, without their help on several occasions the outcome might have been serious. Finally, it is important
to remember that Lewis, Clark, and the others were totally “off the grid” during almost the whole time. If disaster had struck it is
entirely possible that no one would ever have known what became of them. Quite a difference from today’s space explorers, who are
in constant radio and video communication with earth and can attempt to obtain advice and assistance if anything goes wrong. Who
can forget the words from Apollo 13, “Houston, we have a problem.” In this series we will look at two versions of the expedition. The
first is Ken Burns’ “The Journey of the Corps of Discovery.” The second is National Geographic’s “Lewis & Clark Great Journey West” and
both offer valuable insights. Finally, we will take a look at the Lewis & Clark Trail today.
Ken Burns’ Lewis & Clark, Part I
Ken Burns’ Lewis & Clark, Part II
62
Overly simplified, Burns’ approach was to focus more on Lewis and less on the
actual day-to-day actions of the men. Part I begins with the planning of the
expedition and its early struggles against the current of the Missouri River to
reach the last outpost known to Americans at the time, the Mandan villages.
Here the company built a fort and settled in for the winter.
Part II continues the journey across the “Most Terrible Mountains” which put
to rest all thoughts of a water route across America. Finally, the Pacific, “O!
The Joy”, a wet and rainy winter at Fort Clatsop, the journey home in 1806,
and the tragic end of Lewis.
The National Geographic’s
Lewis & Clark, Part I
The National Geographic took more of a re-enactment approach and it is
possible to get a real feeling for the difficulties encountered as the men faced
raging rivers and wild animals.
The National Geographic’s
Lewis & Clark, Part II
Part II goes behind the scenes and is called, “The Making of Lewis and Clark.”
Without giving away the secrets now, you will see how the “wild animal” and
other scenes were staged.
The Lewis & Clark Trail Today
If you were to travel in the footsteps of Lewis & Clark today, what would you
see? Surprisingly, once you get past the cities and towns the landscape today
looks remarkably similar. In our fifth and final episode we will follow along
as a group tries to get a feeling for what the explorers saw on their journey.

area in Poland has developed its own distinctive design. These designs reflect events
and incorporated farm animals, birds and local foliage. In class the instructor will show

Finding the Painting
in Nature Workshop
AND Tuesday, February 25, 2014
This workshop is designed for artists who are looking to enhance the use of nature in
their work. Being in the outdoors can lift your spirit and stock your creativity, yet often
the scale of a natural seascape or landscape can be so overwhelming that it can be hard to
find a painting in it. Rather than try to copy some impressive vista, sometimes it is better
to isolate a feature within and build a painting around it. Students will address nature this
way and explore some simple design techniques and aids. Building on these found designs,
students will work on overall page design and the employment of limited palette colors to
create drama and maintain unity. This class is open to all two-dimensional mediums, and
each student is required to bring all supplies needed for their medium of choice.
9:30 AM - 4:00 PM

Understanding Exposure the
Foundation of Good Photography
Bring your Digital Photography
to the Next Level without Buying
Expensive Equipment
Using Your Camera’s Controls
Making Digital Greeting Cards
with Your Photos and Videos
An Introduction to HDR
(High Dynamic Range) Photography
If you are using a modern smartphone there are probably more pictures on it
than you know what to do with. This class will detail the process of offloading
those images and putting them into digital albums to share with friends
and family. Rather than waste those captured moments, join us for an easy
to understand, casual class and learn how to turn these assets into easy to
access, lasting memories.
Learning how to make the correct exposure is the best way to really enjoy
picture taking. Whether you use a point and shoot camera or a high end
DSLR the fundamentals of good exposure are the same. Information will be
presented as a live demonstration of picture taking with the results appearing
on screen as the pictures are taken. Join us and begin to really have fun with
your camera.
Even the average point and shoot digital camera these days has features that
allow the user to capture stunning images. Learn how to use these features.
Learn about inexpensive accessories that add a whole new dimension to your
picture taking. Create images you will be proud of and want to share with
family and friends.
Many people leave their camera set on Automatic for every picture taking
situation. Learn how easy it is to use other settings and get results you did
not think the camera was capable of. Handouts will include a quick step guide
for typical subjects. Non-technical presentation that average people can really
make use of. Don’t let good pictures be an accident that only happens on
occasion. Put the odds in your favor and take consistently better pictures.
Create exciting, professional video slide shows with your digital photos and
videos. No software or equipment to buy. Use them as holiday greetings or
just say “Hi” to cheer someone up. Your friends and family will be amazed.
This is easy to do even for computer beginners. In a few short steps you
will have a video greeting card that you can download and forward or send
with an invitation via email. They can watch it online as many times as they
want. You use your photos; pick a theme, the music and the online service
does the rest.
All photos are in effect an image of light passing through or reflecting off a
subject. What the camera sees is different than what the human eye sees. The
HDR process allows you to change what the camera sees into what you see
with your eyes. The result is often stunning and is being used by professionals
everywhere. No expensive equipment is required. This can be done even with
point and shoot cameras.

Take Professional Looking Portraits
with Simple Flash
Creating a Still Life Photo
Learn professional tips and tricks for taking amazing portraits using a simple
light source. Many digital cameras have a built in flash. Using a direct flash
from this unit often produces less than attractive results not to mention red
eye. Learn tricks professionals use to modify the light from the built in flash to
produce pleasing results. We will also cover using the built in flash to trigger a
single inexpensive external flash head. Get flash pictures to be proud of.
In this class we work together to set up and shoot a still life photo. As we shoot,
each image will be projected on a large screen simultaneously. See step by step
how the lighting is built up to produce a “style.” Each student who signs up
for this class will get an individual note listing a choice of some small common
items to bring to class. They will arrange these items for their picture and will

Downloading, Sorting and Storing
Photos from Your Camera
Correcting Overall Exposure,
Color and Contrast
Sharpening and Other Filters
Selecting and Changing Portions
of a Picture
Whether using Organizer in Photoshop Elements or Bridge in Photoshop CS,
sorting and placing your images in folders is the first step in creating a good
digital image working environment. This class will go over all the options
available to you. We will also cover the details of working in Camera RAW and
the advantages of using Smart Objects.
Due to constantly varying lighting conditions that we all encounter, perfect
exposures out of the camera are a rarity. Just about every image will require
some tweaking to look its best. Learning to use the tools provided in these great
programs to accomplish this is the focus of this class. You can easily enhance an
average shot and give it attention grabbing snap.
Every digital image brought into an editing program can stand some sharpening.
Learn how to do this correctly. Too much sharpening can be worse than none
at all. There are a whole host of filters in these programs that for the most part
remain unused. Learn what they do and how to use them. The transformations
they can produce are truly amazing.
All of the effects learned in the previous classes are “global” changes. They
affect the entire image. Many times you only need to apply these effects to a
portion of an image. Both of the Photoshop versions provide a number of tools
to make a selection of part of an image. Learning these selection methods and
mastering them is a must if you want to use the enhancement tools effectively.
Join us for an easy paced session covering this material.

Integrating Several Pictures
and Picture Elements
Bringing together elements from several pictures can often achieve spectacular
results. Unlike those who shoot for National Geographic most of our everyday
picture taking is not done as a photojournalistic endeavor requiring us to
only record what was actually seen in person. It is an art form allowing us to
express ourselves and “make” a picture as opposed to just “take” a picture.
With a few easy steps you can add magic to your photos.
Basic Retouching
Back in the early versions of these programs removing dust spots, blemishes
and other distractions were a chore. Today the tools for retouching are truly
magic wands. Learn about the “Content Aware” tools and how to use them
to make your pictures perfect. Learning to use these tools is the first step
in mastering the art of Photo Restoration. This class will also cover the use
of masking.
Using Plug-ins
Several companies offer programs that work within Photoshop and other
programs. They are considered plug-ins. These programs offer features to
further enhance your images. They typically have a number of presets or preformatted steps that are applied to the image and change the appearance.
The picture takes on a unique look. The results are often stunning and these
programs have become very popular. We will cover the most popular offerings.
Resizing and Preparing for Printing
Many questions arise regarding resizing images. Understanding the options
available for making these changes within Photoshop can answer these
questions. There are several file formats that images can be saved in. Each one
has its own properties. Which ones you use will depend on the end use of the
images. Preparing your images for printing has its own set of requirements.
We will cover both these subjects in detail.

blurred from an attribute standpoint. This course will explore the trends in
tablets and smartphones over the next few years and what will differentiate
the two. If you are considering purchasing a phone, a smartphone, a laptop, or
a tablet in the next few years then this course may be a prerequisite. Trends in
feature/function attributes and manufacturer design differences/costs will be
reviewed with plenty of time for Q&A.
Vehicle manufacturers are placing significant effort into delivering vehicles with
internet connectivity for real time infotainment connectivity. Some of these
solutions integrate mobile digital devices (such as smartphones or tablets) via
Bluetooth, etc. The market indicators show that this is a very fast and evolving
strategy. Most of these trends will be using voice activation (such as Apple’s
SIRI) due to government and legal issues with handheld devices. This course
will help participants understand what vehicle manufacturers are delivering
within the next few years
