The Book of Genesis Tuesdays September 5th – October 3rd at 2:00pm-3:00pm

“UR” Always Learning Lecture Description:

Paleontology at the End of the Rope: Excavations 80 feet Below the Surface at Natural Trap Cave

Wednesday, October 18, 2017 4:00 pm-5:00 pm

Natural Trap Cave, located in north-central Wyoming, is aptly named. For thousands of years, animals have lost their lives falling 80 feet to the bottom. The unique conditions inside the cave have preserved bits of the Earth’s past often unavailable, however getting to them is quite the challenge. Speaker Penny Higgins has spent the last four summers climbing in and out of Natural Trap Cave and will share insights into the technical aspects of cave paleontology and some of the new and shocking discoveries scientists have made since the re-opening of the cave in 2014.

Chivalry and Violence in Medieval Europe Monday, October 23, 2017 4:00 pm-5:00 pm

Dr. Kaeuper will talk informally about medieval European chivalry, stressing what it actually was and how it worked, rather than how it is pictured in popular media. Our views today are almost unavoidably colored by the Victorian efforts to revive chivalry and make it useful in late nineteenth- century society. As a medieval historian who has studied it for years, Dr. Kaeuper insists on the need to understand chivalry as a functioning-and tough-medieval warrior code, deeply rooted in its own era and a powerful building block in medieval civilization. Dr. Kaeuper is the author of Chivalry and Violence in Medieval Europe.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt: The Conference at Casablanca the Morgenthau Plan and the Second Quebec Conference

Wednesday, October 25, 2017 4:00 pm-5:00 pm

The varied reasons for the President’s declaration when the Axis Powers were far from being defeated and the reactions by both our Allies and Germany will be presented in detail.

The Pittsford Highlands’ Chaplain, Jim Grobe, is available for

one on one meetings. If interested, please contact Elizabeth David ext. 6344 and a date and time can be arranged.

Considerable confusion exists among women and their care providers regarding the biology of the menopause. Once considered a one-year problem for some women, menopause is now recognized as starting in the 40s, and for some, extending into the 70s. As such, in the past decade, this important field of women’s health has emerged as factual, structured, and formal. In recent years’ scientists have contributed significant information as to the etiologies of hot flashes, mood swings, memory loss, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, bone and heart health. Yet so little of this information is known to care providers who daily must care for these challenged women as the U.S. population ages. This presentation will address the role of inflammation as the underlying cause of most of the menopause symptoms, the biologic impact that loss of estrogen plays in this process and the role that hormone replacement serves to reduce these symptoms.
