Fusion, Faith, Friendship Instructor: Ted Durr Description:

This event kicks off a three part look at India: traditions, culture. and cultural observations. See programs 18F-6 and 18F-19. On 29 December 2017, Arjun and Karusha had their wedding ceremony in Hyderabad, India. It was a fusion of Punjabi and Tamil traditions, designed with the amalgamation of Christian and Hindu rituals and spirituality.

The ev2ent, which lasted three days, included elements of earth, air, fire and water. It had activities of ceremony, music, eating, prayer and cleansing. These three days were a celebration of friendships, relationships and faith as two distinct cultural traditions and religious beliefs merged into an event that meant something for everyone.

18F-7 Criminal Justice in Maryland:

We Are Safer Than We Appear Instructor: Jeremy Kittredge Facilitator Alvin Cohn Description:

The bad guys go to prison; the bad guys become the good guys. This framework is believed to be how the criminal justice system works. However, as our decision-makers continue to lack investment in community, treatment becomes impossible.

Despite what is being echoed from decision-makers across the country and in Annapolis, Americans are safer today than at any time in the last half century. Certain communities, including neighboring Baltimore City, have continued to experience public safety challenges – however, there are strategies that can improve community safety

while protecting the population from harmful long-term incarceration. This lecture will review how the common framework of the criminal justice system has been met with policy challenges that have impacted some neighborhoods, and how meaningful community investments can alter the narrative of high-crime cities like Baltimore. Jeremy Kittredge is the Research and Policy Associate at the Justice Policy Institute where he is responsible for assisting in the generation and coordination of all research and policy work. In addition to receiving a master’s from American University in Criminology, Jeremy has held various positions in criminal justice reform non-profits. Date(s): Oct. 4 Time: 1:00 – 2:30 PM Day: Thursday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 200 Location: Auditorium Additional Fee: Non-members $5

18F-8 When Stars Retire Instructor: Terry Teays Facilitator Pete Gutierrez Description:

What happens when stars reach the end of their lifetimes, having used up the nuclear fuel in their cores. The steps that follow depend on how massive they are, but in general they turn into the beautiful planetary nebulae that we observe, incredibly dense white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, or supernovae. There have been many recent discoveries in these areas, including the recent work on colliding neutron stars and gravitational wave detection.

Terry Teays has a PhD in physics from the University of Nebraska, where his research focused on pulsating variable stars and ultraviolet astronomy. Although retired from research and teaching, he lectures actively on astronomy, space, and science education. Date(s): Oct. 4 Time: 7:00 – 8:30 PM Day: Thursday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 200 Location: Auditorium Additional Fee: Non-members $5

18F-10 Point Lookout: Confederate Prison Camp

The Art and Letters of John Omenhausser Instructor: Ross Kimmel Facilitator Art Chenoweth Description:

Working with Mike Musick, a document specialist at the U.S. National Archives, the team uncovered nearly 400 surviving folk art cartoons drawn by a Confederate inmate at the Point Lookout prison camp. John Jacob Omenhausser, the artist, provides fascinating insights into camp life. His work, “I Am Busy Drawing Pictures," was a puzzling question for Ross and Mike. Ross will also discuss how they identified the artists and resolved the question of whether the works were by a single artist or a school of inmate artists. You can be the detective.

Ross Kimmel is a native Marylander with a master’s degree in U.S. history. He worked for 36 years as the chief historian for the Maryland Park Service, overseeing preservation and interpretation of historic sites on public lands, including Point Lookout State Park, site of the largest Civil War prison camp.

18F-12 Physics of Music and Its Mental Processing Instructor: Vern Williams Description:

The human appreciation of music is nearly universal. In this course, we will examine how musical instruments create sound, and how, after this sound travels to our ears to be converted into signals, the brain then processes the sound into music we hear. However, processing the sound, although seemingly an automatic process to us listeners of music, is the most complicated step. We will delve into the theories about how the brain accomplishes this amazing feat that changes sound into music. As Beethoven attested, even after his deafness, he heard beautiful music in his head.

Date(s): Oct. 11 Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM Day: Thursday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 30 Location: CTS 116 Additional Fee: None

18F-13 Last of the Annamese Instructor: Tom Glenn Facilitator Bill Tilles Description:

The Last of the Annamese is a novel about the Vietnamese and Americans who escaped from Vietnam in April 1975.The protagonist, Chuck Griffin, has never come to terms with the death of his son, Ben, killed in action in Vietnam. To ensure his son had not died in vain, Chuck, a retired Marine officer, returns to Vietnam in 1973 as a civilian intelligence analyst. He falls in love with a Vietnamese woman, Tuyet, who knows the country will fall and hopes Chuck will save her and her young son, Thu. The relationship has deep moral consequences. Intelligence professionals struggle in vain to persuade top U.S. officials of the coming disaster. Although the Last of the Annamese is fiction, the events chronicled in the book are historical fact.

The author, Tom Glenn, was evacuated under fire from Saigon after the North Vietnamese were already in the streets of the city. For his work during the fall of Vietnam, he was awarded the U.S. Civilian Meritorious Medal. Date(s): Oct. 11 Time: 1:00 – 2:30 PM Day: Thursday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 200 Location: Auditorium Additional Fee: Non-members $5

18F-14 The Story of the Port of Baltimore Instructor: Jack Burkert Facilitator Art Chenoweth Description:

If not for the port, there may have never been a Baltimore, or a Baltimore that any of today’s citizens would recognize. The port is, was, has always been a source of prosperity, but the story of the port is more than the long touted “Location, location, location” mantra ─ it is a story of the work and works of thousands of people written over hundreds of years. With every step forward there seemed to come a new challenge: competition from canals, railroads, the upheaval of a Civil War, and a dozen more problems and changes. The people, the

ships, the overnight steamers of the Old Bay Line ─all of these have led to today’s thriving Helen Deilich Bentley Port of Baltimore. Baltimore native Jack Burkert graduated from the University of Maryland, taught in the Baltimore City Public Schools, and now leads the education program at the BMI. Date(s): Oct. 15 Time: 1:00 – 2:30 PM Day: Monday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 200 Location: Auditorium Additional Fee: Non-members $5

18F-16 Exhibitions from Heaven, Exhibitions from Hell Instructor: Gary Vikan Facilitator Bill Tilles Description:

“Exhibitions from Heaven, Exhibitions from Hell" will draw on two chapters from Gary Vikan’s memoir Sacred and Stolen: Con-fessions of a Museum Director. His aim was to introduce Baltimore, and America, to the icons and show these sacred images in a way that would transport museum visitors into a spiritual realm. In both the Heaven and the Hell exhibitions, Dr. Vikan could tell he got there by the kiss marks on the Plexiglass cases. But in one case, he collided with the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia, who on his visit to Baltimore was threatened with assassination. He tells the story, both.

harrowing and absurd, of how he was caught between this stubborn Holy Man and the angry Ethiopian protesters in the streets surrounding the Walters, who forced cancellation of the exhibition's gala opening Date(s): Oct. 17 Time: 1:00 – 2:30 PM Day: Wednesday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 200 Location: Auditorium Additional Fee: Non-members $5

18F-18 India: Observations from a Sabbatical Abroad Instructor: David Kraemer Facilitator Anne Kraemer Description:

In 2011, Dr. Kraemer and his family spent a sabbatical abroad. India is probably the most exotic place in the world where you can get by using English. Even so, traveling halfway around the globe with small children was not easy! The experience was very challenging, but amazingly rewarding. Through his talk, Dr. Kraemer will show some of the paradoxes of India: the messy side but also the beauty. He will show the famous places as well as mundane details that make India quite different from the U.S. From food to politics, everything in India has an exotic twist. He will explain small

18F-19 Musical Experiences to Build Health, Wellness, and Community Instructor: Nellie Hill Facilitator Bill Tilles Description:

There has been much research recently about the effects of music on your general health and well-being. It is not just about listening to music but about participating in music making. Many here have had the experience of being in a drum circle with me and can verify how that short experience in music improvisation was beneficial both physically and mentally. This session will explore both the research and let you experience how any kind of musical experience brings you together in community, de-stresses you and hopefully puts a smile on your face! This session will include participation, so be prepared to have fun and make music together.

Nellie Hill presented two sessions at Charlestown last year, a lecture titled History of Drumming and a workshop on building and participating in Drum Circles. Date(s): Oct. 22 Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM Day: Monday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 200 Location: Auditorium Additional Fee: Non-members $5

18F-20 The American Intelligence Community: Origins and Development

Instructor: David Hatch Facilitator: Anne Erfle Description:

When the subject of government intelligence is raised, many people first think of James Bond. However, actual intelligence activities are organized with bureaucracies for regularized collection, analysis, and dissemination of data that a decision-maker needs to know. Today’s intelligence agencies originated in the World War II era and have grown into large, expensive, and powerful entities.

The media covers intelligence activities extensively, but it is difficult to understand what they are doing in the name of the American people without a good grasp of the authority, roles, and responsibilities each Agency has. This presentation will help sort out how the American intelligence community began, how it grew, and its roles today. And, along the way, there will be interesting people and real-life spy stories. David Hatch, long-time instructor in CCBC courses at Charlestown, is the Historian for the National Security Agency. He earned an M.A. from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Ph.D. from American University in D.C. He has frequently been a media talking head and has authored many articles about intelligence history.

18F-23 Living in Space Instructor: Jim O’Leary Facilitator Vern Williams Description:

Humans have been journeying to space for nearly six decades. We have learned much about how the human body fares in zero gravity ─ astronauts grow in height while in space, their sense of taste degrades, their eyesight worsens, and most of them experience space sickness. The year-long stay of astronaut Scott Kelly aboard the International Space Station provided valuable insight into the challenges of long-term space flight. Astronauts traveling to Mars for more than two years will have to battle

additional dangers, being prepared to deal with sickness, injury or even death while millions of miles from Earth. We explore the early NASA and Soviet space programs, the challenges and tragedies, examine once-secret Soviet space disasters that have since come to light, and take a video tour of the international Space Station led by an astronaut to see day-to-day life in space. A frequent Charlestown speaker, Jim O’Leary is the Senior Scientist at the Maryland Science Center, where he has been involved with astronomy and space science education. He has overseen the Davis Planetarium, Crosby Ramsey Memorial Observatory, and IMAX 3D Theater.

18F-24 Principles of Sustainability Instructor: Bernard Nebel Description:

We worry about the future! Can our grandchildren, great grandchildren, and further generations look forward to as good as or better life than we have had? Or, is civilization pursuing an unsustainable path destined to crash? If so, how can we change the course of history for the better? In this session we will ascertain basic principles of sustainability from examination of natural ecosystems. We will go on to contrast trends of current civilization with these principles. Where there is lack of adherence, we will discuss corrective paths to be taken and opportunities that these paths generate.

18F-27 Battle of the Currents: AC or DC? Instructor: Ralph Strong Description:

In the late 1800s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison engaged in a critical battle to control technology for providing electricity to North America. While alternating current could deliver energy over long distances, Edison had huge investments in supplying power to high density areas around New York City with DC which could not be transmitted very far. Tesla, a bystander, had interests in royalties for the 3-phase motor and distribution system and was a great cheerleader for AC. We will discuss the men, the technology and the outcome from this vicious battle that took place at the turn of century, circa 1900.

Cavalry and equipment, Camp Meade, Maryland 1918*

Join Baltimore historian and educator Wayne R. Schaumburg for an illustrated program on our city's role in World War I. The talk will focus on various aspects of the conflict including the men and women who served in the military as well as in civilian positions. Baltimore war industries from the manufacturing of cotton duck in Hampden to the shipyards of Bethlehem Steel played a major role in the war effort. Johns Hopkins Hospital would establish the first medical treatment center in France.

Four military installations that are still around today began during the war: Camp Meade, Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Edgewood Arsenal, and Camp Holabird. Fort McHenry served as a major medical treatment and rehabilitation center for wounded soldiers. We will also look at some of the local heroes of the conflict as well as monuments and memorials to "The Great War" that can be found all around Baltimore today.

18F-30 Greek and Roman Mythology Instructor: Timothy Phin Facilitator Vern Williams Description:

Some of us may have lived in the period; others have may simply learned about it. In the Theogony, the Muses of Mount Helicon tell the poet Hesiod that they speak many believable lies, but also, when they choose, the truth. There is no better definition of a myth. Myths are often fanciful stories that reveal deep, human truths. This talk will explore Greek and Roman mythology, examining the boundaries between truth and fiction, and the relevance of myths and myth making in antiquity.

Professor Tim Phin is a lecturer in the Ancient Studies Department at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County where he teaches Classical Mythology, Roman History, and Latin Literature.

18F-31 Stand-Up Philosophy:

Deep Thoughts About Humor Instructor: Steve Gimbel Facilitator Vern Williams Description:

Professional philosopher/amateur comedian Steve Gimbel will lead a discussion about humor theory (What is a joke?), humor aesthetics (What makes a joke a good joke?), and humor ethics (Who can tell what jokes? When? To whom?). We all love jokes, but what exactly is it that makes something a joke? Philosophers since Plato have been trying to figure this out. E.B. White said that trying to understand humor is like dissecting a frog ; little is learned, and the frog always dies. Join us to kill some jokes (no frogs will be killed during the lecture, but I can't promise what people will do during the question and answer period).

Returning to Charlestown, Dr. Steve GImbel is a philosophy professor at Gettysburg College as well as a stand-up comedian. He has spoken to us before on wide-ranging topics from the theory of relativity to the physics of the brain. Focusing on his latest research, he will examine the fundamentals of what makes us laugh and why.

18F-39 Driverless Cars: An Update

Instructor: Vern Williams Description:

About three years ago I gave a presentation on driverless cars. Since then, there have been many developments in the driverless car technology. In this fast-moving technology there has been an increase in the number of car manufacturers around the world: all of them trying to break into this lucrative field. In this course, we will review such items as: the new technology for driverless cars, examine some of the difficulties that driverless cars encounter in various weather conditions, regulations and laws, and car accident insurance. Also, we will discuss some of the ethical problems arising from having an algorithm that decides car movements that affect life and death in car accidents.

Dickens’ classic as you’ve never seen it before ─ audience volunteers are an integral part of the performance, playing all three spirits, Marley, Belle and even Scrooge. Ebenezer Scrooge’s redemption from greed and misanthropy, retold by Tiny Tim (all grown up and not at all dead, thank you very much) Tim is delighted to share what Mr. Dickens calls a “ghost of a tale” in the hopes that the spirit of Christmas Past, Present and Future shall strive within us all ─ all the year round!

18F-41 Charlestown 101: Creating Signature Dining at the Atrium Instructors: Dining Room Manager Description:

Following a short orientation by the dining manager, participants will explore the food storage facilities, tour the kitchen, and observe some of the daily meal preparation.

You will emerge from the tour with a deeper understanding of the complexities of getting your

meal to the table. The activity requires extensive walking and standing in tight spaces.

There is limited space for walkers, wheelchairs, or EMVs. We advise wearing rubber-soled

walking shoes.

Each course on Signature Dining is presented in a different dining room. You may sign up for

courses in different dining rooms. Use the specific number for the course in that dining

18F-42 The Capitalist Spirit and the Protestant Work Ethic Instructor: Ted Durr Description:

As Protestantism celebrates its 500th anniversary, it needs to face the fact that today the customs (ethics) promoted by capitalism (materialism, consumerism, investment-type-wagering, competition, and individualism) have primarily inverted and devastated the original Protestant ethics of frugality, savings, restraint, and discipline. Almost one hundred years ago the German scholar Max Weber published The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. If written now, Weber may have reversed his

title because of capitalism’s impact on Protestantism. Today many people are Protestant in name only. As membership declines and drifters like to say, “I’m spiritual but not religious,” many wonder what has happened to their so-called faith and ethic. This course addresses those questions.

18F-44 Political Campaigns Since 1789: Dirty Tricks, Cheap Shots, & October Surprises

Instructor: Peggy Wixted Description:

Was John Adams really a hermaphrodite?

Was Lincoln gay? Was 2016 the dirtiest campaign ever?

No, history reveals dirty tricks, mudslinging, character assassination, and October surprises are as American as apple pie. Our only clean election was our first, probably because Washington ran unopposed.

In this class, we will cover all the sleaze and bad behavior with incredible anecdotes, buttons, posters, and humor. The class is not for the fainthearted or anyone wearing rose-colored glasses. From the editor: It’s fitting to start on Millard Fillmore’s birthday, the President who installed the first White House bathtub.

This course is for skeptics from the Church, Post-

Christian seekers, and people tired of having to park

their brain at the door when they go in to worship.

“Progressive Christianity” as an entity began about 30

years ago when several faithful persons began re-

examining basic Christian ideas such as the Virgin birth,

Original Sin, the crucifixion of Jesus, and belief in Jesus

for salvation with the purpose of bringing them into a 21st

century understanding of faith and religion.

The course will combine brief presentations, a text for reading, and class discussions on the

Bible, Jesus as Son-Prophet-Creator of religion, the atonement, salvation, and the need for

community, i.e. church.

18F-46 The Serenity and Beauty of Coloring Instructor: Michelle Chenoweth and Jackie Graham

Description:

Coloring is an activity that we tend to associate with children. As we grow older, we put aside our crayons and colored pencils in favor of more respectable writing utensils like pens and highlighters. However, it turns out coloring can be beneficial for adults. One of the first psychologists to apply coloring as a relaxation technique was Carl G. Jüng in the early 20th century. The practice generates wellness, quietness and stimulates brain areas related to motor skills, the senses and creativity.” (Elena Santos The Huffington Post) Join us to learn the values of coloring for us adults, coloring with our peers, and some techniques.

18F-50 Science Through Space Exploration Instructor: Ralph Strong Description:

Most of what we know about the sun and our sister planets has been acquired by exploration by unmanned space programs. Thirty-six years ago, the Voyager satellite was launched to visit several planets and is still exploring unknown territory, the outer bounds of the solar system. More recently launched satellites have made detailed observations of the other planets giving new insights on how our own earth was formed. We will look at the data provided and the important information that has been collected through some of those satellites. We will discuss the importance of unmanned programs and their importance with respect to manned programs.

18F-51 The Catholic Reformation Instructor: Julian Bauer Description: Five hundred years ago, the Catholic Church waited 27 years to respond to Martin Luther’s request for an Ecumenical Council to discuss his new theology. Once it began, the Council of Trent took another 18 years to conclude its work and decades more to implement its decisions. How did the Council respond to pressing contemporary issues: the splintering of Christian theology, Muslim advances into Europe, forcible conversion of native Americans, and clerical malfeasance? What actions did the church take and how did St. Charles (Carlo Borromeo) figure into these reformations? More importantly, how did the 1964 Vatican Council II Decree on Ecumenism continue the reform tradition and set forth ways and means to restore unity among all the followers of Christ? Join us for a thoughtful consideration of religion, society, and life. Date(s): Jan. 23 Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM Day: Wednesday Sessions: 1 Class Limit: 30 Location: BR1 Additional Fee: None
