2020−2021 Offerings Celebrating the Wisdom of Men and Women 50 and Better WELCOME & VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES 2020−2021 Offerings Celebrating the wisdom of men and women 50 and better WELCOME & VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES Welcome! Expand your intellectual, social and spiritual horizons beyond any previous expectations. We have missed you! We are in the midst of uncertain times due to COVID-19, but we eagerly await the kick-off of our new season with your health and safety in mind. We are excited to announce that most of our fall classes will be conducted virtually, using Zoom. Through this new virtual platform, participants can experience the benefits of lifelong learning from the safety of their home while remaining connected with a vibrant community of adult learners at the Fielden Institute. Fall registration opens September 15, 2020. Participation in fall offerings will require a computer or mobile device with a camera and microphone, and reliable internet connection. Familiarity with the online Zoom meeting platform is also required. Free training will be provided to anyone with need! For our spring classes, we will monitor recommendations from the WHO, CDC and local elected officials, and we will make necessary changes to room locations or programming as directed by that guidance. We look forward to seeing everyone, but if not deemed safe, we will move classes virtual for spring also. Spring registration will begin on November 1, 2020. The Fielden Institute for Lifelong Learning embraces the philosophy that an active mind fosters a youthful spirit. Hosted by the Indian River State College Foundation, the Fielden Institute serves as IRSC’s health club for the brain. The program is designed for men and women age 50 and better who are interested in exploring shared topics of interest in a college atmosphere. We aim to make learning in retirement exciting and enlightening, and invite our members to learn simply for the joy of learning. Courses have no prerequisites, no long semesters, no grades and no tests—they focus on fulfillment, friendship and fun! Fielden Institute programs are peer-driven, and members serve as both teacher and student. We pride ourselves in the fact that we work with a growing group of dedicated volunteers each year who lead discussion and study groups, hands-on activities, field trips, lectures, and book and film groups—all in a welcoming and appropriate environment for the adult learner. Our goal is to enable members to truly flourish in the second half of life. TO LEARN MORE, WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR A VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE! These events are free but do require advance registration.

  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

  • Introduction 1 Mimesis and Film Languages
    Notes Introduction 1. The English translation is that provided in the subtitles to the UK Region 2 DVD release of the film. 2. The rewarding of Christoph Waltz for his polyglot performance as Hans Landa at the 2010 Academy Awards recalls other Oscar- winning multilin- gual performances such as those by Robert de Niro in The Godfather Part II (Coppola, 1974) and Meryl Streep in Sophie’s Choice (Pakula, 1982). 3. T h is u nder st a nd i ng of f i l m go es bac k to t he era of si lent f i l m, to D.W. Gr i f f it h’s famous affirmation of film as the universal language. For a useful account of the semiotic understanding of film as language, see Monaco (2000: 152–227). 4. I speak here of film and not of television for the sake of convenience only. This is not to undervalue the relevance of these questions to television, and indeed vice versa. The large volume of studies in existence on the audiovisual translation of television texts attests to the applicability of these issues to television too. From a mimetic standpoint, television addresses many of the same issues of language representation. Although the bulk of the exempli- fication in this study will be drawn from the cinema, reference will also be made where applicable to television usage. 1 Mimesis and Film Languages 1. There are, of course, examples of ‘intralingual’ translation where films are post-synchronised with more easily comprehensible accents (e.g. Mad Max for the American market).

  • Founding Fathers" in American History Dissertations
    EVOLVING OUR HEROES: AN ANALYSIS OF FOUNDERS AND "FOUNDING FATHERS" IN AMERICAN HISTORY DISSERTATIONS John M. Stawicki A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2019 Committee: Andrew Schocket, Advisor Ruth Herndon Scott Martin © 2019 John Stawicki All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This thesis studies scholarly memory of the American founders and “Founding Fathers” via inclusion in American dissertations. Using eighty-one semi-randomly and diversely selected founders as case subjects to examine and trace how individual, group, and collective founder interest evolved over time, this thesis uniquely analyzes 20th and 21st Century Revolutionary American scholarship on the founders by dividing it five distinct periods, with the most recent period coinciding with “founders chic.” Using data analysis and topic modeling, this thesis engages three primary historiographic questions: What founders are most prevalent in Revolutionary scholarship? Are social, cultural, and “from below” histories increasing? And if said histories are increasing, are the “New Founders,” individuals only recently considered vital to the era, posited by these histories outnumbering the Top Seven Founders (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine) in founder scholarship? The thesis concludes that the Top Seven Founders have always dominated founder dissertation scholarship, that social, cultural, and “from below” histories are increasing, and that social categorical and “New Founder” histories are steadily increasing as Top Seven Founder studies are slowly decreasing, trends that may shift the Revolutionary America field away from the Top Seven Founders in future years, but is not yet significantly doing so.

  • Neue Filme Tödliche Zeilen Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
    HORROR Neue Filme Tödliche Zeilen Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Regie: André Øvredal. Mit Zoe Margret Colletti, Michael Garza, Austin Zajur, Dean Norris. Start: 31. Oktober. ● Immer wieder wird beklagt, dass junge Menschen zu wenig lesen. Die- ser Film dreht sich um ein Buch, von dem die jugendlichen Helden besser die Finger gelassen hätten. Denn darin steht Seite für Seite, Zeile für Zeile, wie sie demnächst sterben werden – ohne dass sie durch dieses Wissen in der Lage wären, in ihr Schicksal ein- zugreifen. »Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark« kommt pünktlich zu Hallo- ween ins Kino, um Teenagern einen ordentlichen Schrecken einzujagen. Der Film, von Oscar-Preisträger Guillermo del Toro (»The Shape of Water«) produziert, basiert auf meh- reren Gruselgeschichten des US- Autors Alvin Schwartz und spielt 1968 in einer amerikanischen Kleinstadt. Der Vietnamkrieg fordert jeden Tag neue Opfer, Richard Nixon will ins Weiße Haus und steckt mitten im Wahlkampf, als ein paar Freunde in einem verfallenen Haus auf ein altes Buch stoßen und irgendwann fest - stellen, dass es ihre Gedanken lesen kann und ihre Ängste kennt. Der nor- Hauptdarsteller Damon, Bale in »Les Mans 66 – Gegen jede Chance« wegische Regisseur André Øvredal schafft es, eine erst heimelige, dann RENNSPORTDRAMA auf der Suche nach der ultimativen zunehmend bedrohliche Atmosphäre Tollkühner Unsinn Transzendenz, wenn sich im Rausch aufzubauen. Leider bleibt die Auf - der Geschwindigkeit Körper und lösung der Geschichte etwas hinter Le Mans 66 – Gegen jede Chance. Seele voneinander lösen und so etwas ihrer aufregenden Prämisse zurück. Regie: James Mangold. Mit Matt Damon, Christian Bale. Start: 14. November.

  • George Washington: a New Man for a New Century
    GEORGE WASHINGTON: A NEW MAN FOR A NEW CENTURY By Barry Schwartz George Washington never tolerated the notion, flaunted by some of his successors in the Presidential chair that the voice of the people, whatever its tone or its message, is the voice of God; nor was his political philosophy summed up in “keeping his ear to the ground, ” in order to catch from afar the ramblings of popular approval or dissent.... Will any one say that there is no need of such men now, or that the common people would not hear them gladly if once it were known that they dwelt among us? —The Nation, 18891 Every conception of the past is construed from the standpoint of the concerns and needs of the present.”2 Could the sociologist George Herbert Mead’s statement be applied to George Washington at the 1899 centennial of his death? Was Washington the same man at the turn of the twentieth century, when America was becoming an industrial democracy, as he was at the turn of the nineteenth, when the nation was still a rural republic? The title of the present essay suggests that the question has already been answered, but the matter is more complex than that. Because any historical object appears differently against a new background, Washington’s character and achievements necessarily assumed new meaning from the Jacksonian era and Civil War through the Industrial Revolution. Washington’s changing image, however, is only one part of this story. Focusing on the first two decades of the twentieth century, the other part of the story—“Washington’s unchanging image”—must also be considered.
