Between 1861 and 1865 there were many first­time implementations that were incorporated and/or invented from the necessities created by such a large­scale conflict.

Dachi The Saudi Monarchy was dubbed the “Guardians of the Holy Places” by the extremist Wahhabi Islamists who have been their integral partners ever since the foundation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. Since then, Saudi Arabia has become the world’s number one oil superpower, on which the stability of the entire “world of oil” depends. It was singled out as the number one enemy of the Persian Shia revolution headed by the Ayatollah Khomeini, which branded the monarchy illegitimate as “un­Islamic infidels” from the time it came to power in 1979. Through the tormented history of the past 32 years, Saudi Arabia remains the key player to the future of the Middle East and to the pressures of reform facing the entire region. This lecture discusses what the world may expect from this important actor in the complex 21st Century mosaic of world affairs.

We’ll explore this and other questions as we examine the structure of a campaign organization, who shapes “the message” and why candidates should always stay on message or change the message. Do issues really matter? How are issues crafted to sell the candidate and how does the candidate’s team shape the message by recognizing what motivates voters. Does the political campaign process allow the best person to win? What about the media? Why does media saturation leave us unsatisfied? Do negative messages work? As candidates gear up for 2012, let’s be better consumers of their messages. Registration: $1.00 in advance or $2.00 at the door. 3 EVENING LECTURES AND LECTURE­RECITALS 105 ARMENIA: AN ANCIENT NATION, A NEW REPUBLIC Monday, September 26 Sonia Russo 7:30 p.m. Hefner Auditorium Armenia is an ancient nation with a long, turbulent history, dating to the 3rd millennium B.C. A large kingdom during biblical times, historical Armenia was the site of Mt. Ararat, where Noah landed his Ark. In 301 A.D., Armenia became the first Christian nation. Nearly every major Indo­European empire, from the Assyrians to the Soviet Russians, has invaded Armenia. Ultimately, Armenia suffered genocide under the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

While giving the material the appearance of authority, such data can mislead as well as inform. If you have ever wondered how to recognize inadvertent errors and intentional skewing of such data, here’s some self­defense. We will examine where errors and manipulation can occur during: Data Collection (census, surveys, sampling, polls), Data Analysis (solve wrong problem, unreliable measures, faulty analysis) and Data Presentation (graphs, charts, half­truths, lies, spin.) Only slightly technical and designed to help laypersons become better judges of the reliability and accuracy of what they read.

Also to be addressed are the development of the classic British mystery story, the American changes of the formula in the thirties and forties as well as mystery story changes with feminism and ethnicity in the last 30 years. We will consider such important writers as Poe, Doyle, Christie, Hammett, Chandler, Hillerman, and others including the lecturer, while discussing how writers get and develop their ideas.

What is the impact to community, security and public coffers from our enforcement policies? What are the myths and realities of what immigrants contribute or take away from our economy? In the mid­1990s several harsh laws took effect, making many people deportable who had not been before. Following 9/11 and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, funds and technology were provided to enforce those laws. Can we, should we, deport the millions of undocumented immigrants in the U.S.? These broader issues will be addressed through the stories of the immigrants and their cases that make up a local immigration law practice.

The French government even claimed that she was responsible for the deaths of 50,000 French soldiers in World War l. Despite these allegations, when one looks for the facts of her life to corroborate her evil reputation, one comes out almost empty. Yes, she was a very famous lady all over Europe during her lifetime. But was she as evil as Mata Hari the stories about her imply? In this talk we will reveal her true life story. Registration: $1.00 in advance or $2.00 at the door 113 MINDFUL AWARENESS AND HAPPINESS Monday, October 24 Bruce K. Britton, PhD 7:30 p.m. Hefner Auditorium Studies using clinical trial methods show that mindful awareness is one of ten easy­to­
do activities shown to cause significant, reliable increases in measured happiness. Mindful awareness brings our focus to the here­and­now and increases our happiness in that otherwise we spend so much time daydreaming thinking repetitive and sometimes painful thoughts. Furthermore, mindful awareness is the most important activity for increasing happiness, because the other nine effective activities depend on mindful awareness for their efficacy. We will go through all ten activities and their relationships, and demonstrate some effective mindful awareness training techniques for increasing happiness.

Many sages are associated with it, but none claims to be its first prophet. They say truths of their faith are inherent in the nature of reality itself. The image too many outsiders have of the Hindu tradition is superstitious villagers worshiping idols. However, as we get to know the Hindus better, we’ll see that their understanding of who and what God is, is incredibly sophisticated. This talk includes discussion of the Hindu Bible and what Hindus believe (i.e. reincarnation, karma, an immortal soul, idol worship, etc.). Registration: $1.00 in advance or $2.00 at the door See page 14 for Daytime Class 128, Great World Religions: Hinduism 116 THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF RELIGION: Thursday, November 3 WHY DO WE YEARN FOR A SPIRITUAL WORLD? 7:30 p.m. Parker Hall Julie Castillo Religious and supernatural beliefs are universal, found in all known societies. Humankind has a need to seek understanding beyond the answers that are available in the natural world. But how did we become spiritual thinkers in the first place? What does religion do for society? How does our belief in magical forces, higher beings, and supernatural powers affect our lives? Join us for a thought provoking anthropological exploration into the origins of religious and supernatural thought, the needs they fulfill, and the varieties of otherworldly traditions among human cultures.

Starting with a little history, we will quickly move to recent films that feature special effects from stop motion to blue screen to motion control. Technology has changed film radically in the last 20 years, and nowhere so much as in special effects. If you have a favorite film and want to know how they did that, there will be time for questions and, hopefully, answers.

Together they have led an adventurous life traveling in an electric car, walking parade routes, and meeting lots of celebrities such as Roy Rogers, President Bush 1, Dan Quayle, Tom Selleck, Willard Scott, and many others. However their best memories are of the hundreds of unnamed people at nursing homes and hospitals and so many caring children who want to make Trampis happy.

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR
ALL EDUCATIONAL TOUR REGISTRANTS
Please read the following policy statement and provide the information needed. Only persons who have completed and returned the disclaimer form attached to the tour registration blank will be allowed to join the Keese School tours. POLICY STATEMENT FOR PERSONS TRAVELING ON KEESE SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL TOURS The following holds true for all tours: A. Each participant must be able to: 1. Care for his/her own personal needs; 2. Get on and off the bus without assistance; 3. Physically keep with the tour schedule without special considerations. B. It is understood that no Keese School tour escort, leader, or any other School official can be held responsible by a traveler for any mishap to the traveler on the tour. C. Non­Asbury participants must also complete the form and furnish the name and telephone number of a person to notify in case of emergency. D. For participants who may use assistive mobility devices: 1. Buses used for our educational tours do not have space for manual or mechanized wheelchairs. 2. Persons using walkers should check with the tour coordinator in advance to see whether use of a walker is feasible on a specific tour. E. 1. In case of medical or physical emergencies, the tour escort will work with the bus driver to secure medical help and will report the situation to Asbury. The tour will continue on its schedule. 2. You must have on your person your medical information card and a picture ID. F. All tours are subject to the cancellation­refund policy on page 15 of this catalog. 46 SOME FACTS ABOUT THE KEESE SCHOOL WHAT IS THE KEESE SCHOOL? Founded in 1978, the Keese School is a unique educational effort that is fully organized and administered by residents of Asbury Methodist Village. Although the School may offer some events in cooperation with other adult education agencies in Maryland, its curriculum and programs are suggested and approved independently by an active resident Curriculum Committee. HOW IS THE KEESE SCHOOL FINANCED? The School is resident­financed and is responsible for recovering the cost of its operations. It charges a basic $1.00 fee for advanced registration for each evening lecture and lecture­recital, for each daytime class or seminar, and for each educational tour. Those who have not registered in advance may attend evening lectures by paying $2.00 at the door. Revenues from the registration fees offset the cost of gift cards and the guest dinners awarded to non­resident lecturers and the costs associated with the printing of the School catalogs. Additional charges are made for performing musicians in the lecture­
recital programs; for registration fees for adult education classes as determined by the sponsoring agencies; and for bus transportation and tour admissions where applicable for educational tours. Excess revenues from tours may be used to offset deficits for under­
subscribed tours or may be kept on the books until the end of the academic year. Keese School acts only as a conduit for tuition fees for events offered by adult education agencies and for performers in the lecture­recital programs. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE OCCASIONALLY LARGE BALANCE SHOWN ON THE CCAV TREASURER’S REPORT? The balance represents the temporary difference between collected fees and end­of­year expenditures. WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS POSITIVE BALANCE? At the conclusion of the academic year (in late May) and based on the actual surplus balance, funds are allocated for education awards to high school seniors and above who will continue education and who work as wait­staff in the dining rooms. Other lesser payments are made during the year to Keese School officers as reimbursement for postage, duplicating costs, necessary office supplies and other petty cash expenditures. Credo We live at Asbury Village "where aging becomes an adventure in living." We believe that:  Participation in the School promotes a mingling of residents on the basis of mutual interests and intellectual curiosity.  Retired people enjoy study that stimulates the mental processes, opens new interests and may develop ongoing education.
