Stewardship and the Greatest Generation
If any generation has a fairly clear and even uniform set of characteristics, it is those born before the 1960's. Some have called this group the" traditional generation." It is always challenging to determine exactly where generations begin and end, but for the purpose of this article, I think it should include those who are now in their late 60's and up. They are what are more commonly called "senior citizens."
Those leading stewardship ministries in congregations would be wise to keep in mind some of the traditional generation's mindsets, beliefs, and lifestyles as they plan how to invite people to a more faithful stewardship. Specifically, for the senior generation, that includes an awareness that they tend toward a high degree of institutional loyalty. Senior citizens generally like the organized church, especially their local congregation. A higher percentage of these " Traditionals" have grown up with a single denominational identity. Also keep in mind that studies indicate that this generation is more generous in their overall giving including to their local congregation than are those who are younger. The Lake Institute for Charitable Giving has found that 72% give to religious causes as opposed to 45% for those born after 1964.
As a result, presenting the call to faithful giving as a way to support the church often appeals to this age group. Many of them are aware of the threat to local congregations if not to the entire denomination. They worry about their church's finances and building. They may even be concerned about the support of their pastor and staff. They are often concerned about future leadership for the church. Highlighting those sorts of concerns and appealing to them on the basis of such matters is likely to elicit a response and the potential for increased giving.
Another characteristic of the traditional generation with regard to their church and their faith is concern for youth. They are worried about their grandchildren and whether the church is actively engaged in ministry to them in creative and effective ways. In some regards, this generation may have as much or more concern than some of the parents! That is, in part, because many of them had positive experiences in the church of their youth which may be less true for today's parents. Lifting up youth ministry and the need for strong financial support can be a key for this generation.
At the same time this generation of those in their late sixties and up is also frustrated and often disappointed with their congregation's ministries to seniors. Many of them feel their needs are overlooked and that even pastoral care has failed them. It is important that every congregation have clearly defined and effective ministries for them. If there are such ministries, they will be appreciated and will garner financial support. It is especially critical to provide care such as that offered by a parish nurse or a volunteer network of caregivers as well, of course, as visitation by the pastor(s) as needed. If those things are missing, financial support may be lacking too!
Perhaps more than some other generations, the senior citizens of today are also open to preaching and teaching about stewardship, They, actually expect that and may be disappointed if their pastor does not address stewardship with some frequency. A once-a-year sermon on stewardship during the annual pledge program is not sufficient. Frankly, it is not sufficient for any people of faith, but this is especially true for many of the traditionalists.
One final thing in this brief essay needs to be said. This generation either tends to be living very frugally or to have significant resources. There are many who are just getting by. On the other hand, many have accumulated significant assets. We may even be surprised by those who have large assets because it is not obvious. Stewardship efforts should keep the extremes in mind, appealing especially to those with assets to give out of their assets. This is more common in capital appeals but can happen on an annual basis as well. For example, gifts of stock from those who have a stock portfolio are advantageous to both the giver in terms of taxes and, of course, to the congregation.
Do you have people over 65 in your congregation? Of course you do! As you plan your stewardship ministry these are some things to keep in mind. Regardless of our age, we can keep growing in the gift of generosity.
Gary F. Anderson
Avoiding Shame in Stewardship
As the stewardship workshop came to a close, she raised her hand as God had laid something on her heart. She shared that she was one of those people who did not take her giving seriously. She suffered through the annual stewardship appeal waiting for it to end. She didn't want to serve on council because of the guilt she felt over not tithing. She shared that she felt shame for not being generous.
As she spoke, I could tell that she felt a tremendous sense of relief. She shared that her parents never taught her how to give because money just wasn't talked about. In an email to me the next day she shared the following: "I need to refocus my treasure to where my heart already is. Living in two different worlds isn't working. I know I am not the only person in the church in this situation so maybe my stepping out and being transparent will encourage others. Its very scary but I feel God's hand in this."
Often, without noticing or trying, our stewardship efforts cause shame. Not because we ask people for too much, but because we don't treat them as a person. We need to focus on growth. We need to ask people to move from where they are to where they can be more generous. We need to challenge people but not offend them based on where they are.
Stewardship should be life-giving as we attach the treasures that God provides us to the ministry that touches people's lives. By doing sloppy stewardship, we cause shame. By taking the time to treat people like individuals, we can help them grow and help them move into that abundant life that Jesus talks about. I often tell congregational leaders it is okay to treat people different as long as they don't treat anyone better.

ALBANY — While President Trump remains highly unpopular in his home state of New York, Republicans looking to run statewide should break ranks with him at their own peril, GOP political consultants warn.
No matter how moderate or conservative GOP candidates are, the Democrats will seek to tie them to Trump, who received just a third of the vote in New York in 2016 and polls show continues to have extremely low popularity numbers.
But that's statewide. GOP consultants say that polls also show Trump doing well in Suffolk County, parts of Nassau and upstate.
A Republican who completely breaks ranks from the President and trashes him risks alienating voters in those areas and the GOP base, which still supports Trump.
"Trump is a tricky issue, especially when it comes to keeping the base," said GOP consultant David Catalfamo, a former top aide to ex-Gov. George Pataki. "Upstate he's popular. He's terrific. New York City, outside of Staten Island, they hate him. And it's different in the suburbs."
Catalfamo said Republican candidates need to borrow from what made Trump popular nationally last year — the image of an outsider focused on breaking the status quo.
Another prominent Republican operative, who asked for anonymity, agreed that statewide GOP candidates can't run entirely away from Trump.
"New York is so diverse," the consultant said. "With Trump, he does cut both ways. In some areas, it's going to be headwinds. In others, it's going to be tailwinds. That's what's going to very difficult."
The rank-and-file Republicans, the consultant said, are not going to get behind a candidate who says they voted for Hillary Clinton over Trump or anyone who might be lukewarm about the President.
"The smartest thing you can say is, 'I felt between he and Hillary, I voted for an agenda that meant jobs and you're seeing the results.' You can also say, 'I certainly take exception with x, y and z, like the tweets.' But the biggest thing is the national economy, security and a need for change," the operative said.
How a statewide candidate handles the Trump dilemma, particularly gubernatorial candidates, could impact voter enthusiasm and turnout, which in turn could affect downballot congressional and state Senate races, consultants say.
Of course, getting too cozy with Trump carries its own risks, given New York is such a heavily blue state and Democrats are expected to continue to use him as a bogeyman up and down the ballot, the consultants agree.
Assembly GOP Minority Leader Brian Kolb, who has already announced a run for governor, said he's prepared for the anti-Trump attacks.
"Trump is not a factor," Kolb, of Canandaigua, recently told the Daily News. "My name is not Brian Trump. It's Brian Kolb. If Donald Trump does good things for New York, I will support it. If he does bad things for New York, I will not support it. My priority is New York State."
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said he does not expect the ongoing feud between Gov. Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio will severely impact the city.
Heastie (D-Bronx) noted that the city is a key constituency for Cuomo as he heads into his 2018 reelection year.
"He polls best in the City of New York, so I think it behooves all of us to do right by the city," Heastie said.
Another Dem agrees, saying while Cuomo can attack de Blasio, he cannot be seen as hurting the city with his policies.
Businessman and liberal activist Bill Samuels, who helped finance the unsuccessful ballot referendum in November to create a constitutional convention, is now backing a bill to make it easier for child sex abuse victims to seek justice as adults.
Most Read
Samuels will take part in a press conference by advocates Tuesday calling on Gov. Cuomo to include the Child Victims Act in his State of the State address Wednesday and his upcoming state budget proposal.
The Tuesday rally at the state Capitol complex will feature child sex abuse victims, including Gary Greenberg, an upstate investor who created a political action committee to push for passage of the Child Victims Act.
The advocates will also call on the Legislature to pass bills to require public schools to implement a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program and end the conditional prison releases of felony child pedophiles.
And they will call for passage of Brittany's Law, which would require convicted domestic violence offenders to register with the state upon parole or release from incarceration, hospitalization or institutionalization. The database would be similar to that of the Megan's Law registry that allows people to see if a convicted sex offender lives in their community.
The Senate has passed Brittany's Law six times, but it has died in the Assembly.

Mosso,22 Margaria,20 Childs, Hamlin and Henderson4 noted that the effects of anoxemia can be alleviated by breathing low concentrations of CO2. In several studies (Gellhorn7, 8) we have confirmed and extended these observations on a quantitative basis. It was shown in particular that the effects of anoxemia on various processes occurring in the human central nervous system can be offset by inhaling 3 per cent CO2 during the period of anoxemia. This effect was thought to be due mainly to circulatory and respiratory adjustments. This idea is supported by the fact that under the influence of CO2 the circulation through

Amy Hennig, the former creative director of EA's canceled Star Wars single-player known as Project Ragtag, has given her opinion on the new Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. One of the talking points of 2019's Star Wars Celebration, Fallen Order hopes to cash in on the reinvigorated Star Wars fandom as Disney expands the various movie and TV franchises.
Starring Gotham's Cameron Monaghan, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order promises something different. The AAA experience will offer no loot boxes or microtransations at a time when EA is still plagued by the lingering effects of the Star Wars: Battlefront II fiasco. As EA comes to the end of its current licensing deal with Disney, it seems that Fallen Order is coming at just the right time to show what the video game publisher can do with the galaxy far, far away.
While fandom is more than excited for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Hennig is less likely to be over the moon. Speaking to Eurogamer, she broke her silence on life after Project Ragtag and what she thinks of EA's partnership with Respawn with the announcement of Fallen Order:
"[It's] odd! I have to be candid with you. I mean, it's coming from the EA Star Wars Twitter handle, so it's certainly part of the plan, but I don't know whether it's implicitly referencing previous comments they made after our project was killed?"
The Uncharted creator seemed hopeful she could put her stamp on Star Wars, only to have Project Ragtag pulled from beneath her. She went on to discuss what happened to her game, citing the surprising reveal of Fallen Order when EA said it would veer away from single-player gaming because it's not what fans want anymore:
"Over the course of my time at EA, we were back and forth on what the overall publishing corporation wanted. Everybody's trying to figure out what the right path is. I also think Respawn's game has the benefit of being largely developed before they were acquired. It is a protected entity, and Vince [Zampella] makes very sure - because he's part of the executive team at EA, he can protect the interests of Respawn."
Hennig admitted that it is all speculation and says a lot had changed since Project Ragtag was Force-choked back in late 2017. She then reiterated that there has been a "pretty public and vocal backlash against the idea gamers don't want single-player finite games without all these extra modes," saying, "of course they do, of course we do." That being said, she rounded off by clarifying that there have been a lot of management changes at EA and she's excited to see what Respawn can do with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Sadly, Star Wars gaming fans will never get to see what Hennig had planned. Instead, Project Ragtag joins the long list of canned Star Wars games and the famous Star Wars 1313. Hennig's game was reportedly going to focus on a diverse crew of rogues instead of Fallen Order's one main character. As players turn to the future and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, perhaps they'll get to see some of Hennig's ideas brought to life by the talented developers hard at work on the title at Respawn Entertainment.

text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Smith Barney cut Alcoa Inc.'s AA, +3.67% earnings estimate and stock price target due to the failure of its "hyper-bull" aluminum price forecast. The price ran up to a 10-year high of 92 cents a pound, but fell short of the 95-cent target before selling off. Analyst John Hill cut his 2005 earnings estimate to $2.01 a share from $2.30 and his price target to $35 from $42, but maintained his buy rating on the Dow industrials component. "Given the late-cycle context, softness across automotive and construction, and market preoccupation with a major alumina capacity additions in 2007 and 2008, it is difficult to see a near-term catalyst," said Hill. He also cut his 2005 earnings forecast for fellow aluminum company Alcan Inc. AL, +2.76% to $2.53 a share from $2.70 and his stock price target to $34 from $40, but reiterated his hold rating. Alcoa's stock closed Friday down 85 cents at $26.70 and Alcan lost 83 cents to $29.41.

text: American Classics Reconsidered: A Christian Appraisal By Harold C. Gardiner No cover image American Classics Reconsidered: A Christian Appraisal By Harold C. Gardiner Read preview Excerpt The authors under consideration in this symposium are most probably our greatest collective claim to literary pre-eminence. They are also controversial figures. The controversy on some of them revolves around their literary stature: is Cooper, for instance, to be estimated merely in the terms applied to him by Mark Twain ("there have been daring people in the world who claimed that Cooper could write English, but they are all dead now") or in those accorded him by Wilkie Collins ("Cooper is the greatest artist in the domain of romantic fiction yet produced by America")? Or shall we be content merely to state with Vernon Parrington that "no other major writer, unless it be Whitman, has been so misunderstood, and no other offers a knottier problem to the student of American letters"? Again, did Poe have what James Russell Lowell called "that indescribable something which men have agreed to call genius"? or does Poe, as Dr. Durick states in his study, "tend to diminish in stature as we grow older"? --or is "genius" compatible with such diminution?More puzzling, however, than the controversies which have arisen over the literary stature of these authors is the cloud of debate that has blown up about their philosophies and theologies, about their fundamental attitudes toward God, man, and nature, and the degree in which those attitudes have shaped or colored their work.Was Emerson, to take him as perhaps the cardinal figure about whom the storms of debate have centered, the Pelagian such a critic as Yvor Winter would have us believe he was, and did his doctrine of self-reliance grow to its logical and awful climax in the suicide of Hart Crane? This is the position startlingly defended in Mr. Winters' chapter, "The Significance of The Bridge by Hart Crane," in In Defense of Reason (University of Denver, 1947, pp. 577-603). Or was there, as John Jay Chapman thinks, such "radiance" about his writings as about his personality that "while he lived his figure could be seen from Europe towering like Atlas over the culture of the United States." If that was his true stature, how could his influence have been as sinister as Winters estimates it was?Or consider the various evaluations of the thought and influence of Walt Whitman. Even if we refuse to take seriously the public protests vociferated recently in New Jersey when the proposal was made to name a bridge in his honor--protests on the grounds that he was neither a great poet (he couldn't "see beyond his eyelids," it was claimed) nor a citizen of respectable moral life--it still remains true that many a popular estimate of the "good gray poet" relegates him to the role of a hairy-chested and uncouth chanter of incantations to a democracy he understood but little. On the other hand, D. H. Lawrence considers him "the greatest and the first and the only American teacher," though the teaching Lawrence attributes to Whitman may be considered a thing of very dubious worth indeed.

In the sky only girls — the first female flight Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines, one of the largest loukost airlines in the world, on October 19, 2017 completed its first flight with a female crew.
The new Boeing-737 MAX 8, operated by a fully female crew of two pilots and four flight attendants, flew the St. Louis-San Francisco route. Photos of the female flight crew of Southwest Airlines were published in the official tweet of the air carrier before the flight, and this post was just over 23000 likes and about 4700 retweets.
Users of social networks highly appreciated this step of the airline, since such a composition of the crew in modern aviation is still a rarity. For example, according to the data of the non-profit organization Women in Aviation, women pilots with a valid license for civilian passenger transportation in the United States are less than 7% — only about 39000.

Location: Sommer's Beach, Tortola
Today we woke up at about-to-early-to-function o'clock. Our wonderful mother, Lawre made us eggs, cut up cantaloupe and oranges and brought out cereal. We cleaned up and went over to Surprise and started our open water dive #4. It was really fun. After diving, we went to our next rotation, which was water sports. I wake boarded and Emma drove the dinghy. I went so fast that when I fell, the skis flew off while I was turning! After we did water sports, we had lunch, which was vegetable soup. After lunch, we watched a sailing movie. Then I showered in the ocean had a granola bar and we motored to the north side of Tortola. Now I'm writing this and then I am going to the beach to BBQ with my friends! This sums up my super chill day with my family.

Shopping For Horse Stuff
I love shopping for horse things. And finding a deal is even better. Which is what I wanted to share with you today. You see I got a postcard in the mail from Dover Saddlery, and it had an offer on it that I could not resist. If you spent $100, you could buy a Noble Outfitter large grooming tote filled with goodies for $50.
That got me curious, so of course I had to venture over to Dover's and see what this was all about. And sure enough, when I saw the deal, I wanted it.
This is what is included in the deal:
- Noble Outfitters Equinessential large grooming tote
- A pair of Black Beauty Peddies Boot Socks
- A pair of Best Dang Boot Socks
- A wool beanie
- fleece-lined wool mittens
- Double-buckle belt
- Noble Outfitters drawstring storage bag
The best part of this deal, right now it is only $50, after you spend $100. And they have the gift package until November 25, 2018, or until they run out of the bag. One thing that really grabbed my attention, besides all the free stuff, is the color. I am a sucker for anything in plum. And the bag is black and Merlot, aka plum. So when I saw this, I knew I had to have it.
What To Buy, What To Buy
Now with it being late November, there isn't a lot of stuff I need or really want when it comes to my horses. So I played around with my cart, adding and subtracting different things in order to reach the $100 minimum in order to get this grooming tote. It was no easy task. I finally decided on a bit, a new ear bonnet, a head setter device, some lip balm, and a couple of new hay nets. And finally my cart was over $100, so I added the grooming tote. And bingo-bango, I got the deal!
I was impressed with how fast they shipped it too. Dover has never been speedy about shipping from my experience. And their customer service is pretty low too, or well, it was. I think they are learning though. Because I ordered this on a Monday, and I got it in the mail by Thursday. Talk about fast! And they even provided my shipping confirmation, again something they usually fail to do.
Unboxing The Goodies
After I inspected everything I bought, I opened up the grooming tote. My first impression is WOW! This thing is awesome. The grooming tote is big. And it has 3 separate compartments to hold everything you could think of in the bag. But then on the outside, there are 9 separate pockets, 2 with Velcro closures around the outside of the bag itself.
And the bottom of the bag is mesh. So no more dirt, mud and horse hair filling the bottom of my grooming tote. Again, I am very impressed.
I have seen review videos on this tote, and everyone who has one loves it. And now I can see why. This is the ultimate equestrian grooming tote.
But let me share with you the free things that were included…
Two pair of Noble Outfitters Boot Socks…
A Noble Outfitters Wool Beanie….
Noble Outfitters Drawstring duffel…
Fleece lined wool mittens, soooo warm and cozy….
This belt is awesome. It isn't something I would have considered buying, and now I don't have too! If you need a belt for the show ring, or are just looking for a tasteful belt, you should consider this one. But if like me, you are able to get the grooming tote deal, you won't have to buy one because you will get it in the gift pack!
The Ultimate Grooming Tote For Equestrians
If you were to buy the tote separately, and all of the things you get for free it would cost you over $187.00, but that is if you can find the things they are offering. I searched for the beanie, mittens and even the belt and I couldn't find where you could buy them separately. So it looks like the only way you can get all of these cool things is if you buy the gift tote through Dover's.
And if you are looking for a smaller grooming tote, they do offer this package for the small grooming tote and you only have to spend $50 and you can get the small tote filled with goodies for $25. Not too bad right?
And Something Extra
And in addition to everything that comes in the grooming tote, Noble Outfitters also offers a free patch for you to customize your grooming tote! They have 20 different patches available. And all you have to do is go to their website, enter your information and choose your patch. It takes 2 to 3 weeks to get to you, but it's free! And then you just attach it to the Velcro 'N' on the front pocket. I just ordered mine and will be sure to do a complete review of this grooming tote once I get my patch.
Going, Going, Gone
Sadly this deal will not last for long. And if you are reading this blog post after November 25, 2018 well, they grooming tote will be gone. BUT I did find it on Amazon, and it's even less expensive than if you were to buy it on Dover's website. You don't get all of the freebies, but you still get the incredible Noble Outfitters grooming tote for less than $50. And I did find a few of the items on Amazon too. I have provided you some links, just in case you are searching for a great gift for your favorite equestrian.
And some of the shopping links are affiliate links, meaning if you make a purchase through one of the links I have provided, I may receive a small commission from your purchase. It doesn't cost you anything extra, and it helps me to continue doing what I do on my website and YouTube channel. So thank you, in advance!
Seeing Is Believing
And if you want to see it, I mean actually see the tote and everything I got, you can go to my YouTube channel, The Budget Equestrian and watch me open the boxes, and see everything I got. As well as my reaction. I think I said awesome about 30 times in the video.

The EDUCAUSE 2018 Horizon Report (formally the New Media Consortium Horizon Report) strives to look at practices likely to enter mainstream use within the next 5 years, and cites examples. CWRU is called out in two cases – The ThinkBox in Maker Spaces (Pg. 40) and the Interactive Commons and the use of HoloLens in the dance performance as one of fourteen "Vanguard Projects." We are honored that our work has been recognized by this fantastic community!
The IC's work on mixed reality education was featured in an article by CWRU CIO Sue Workman that appeared in Educause. The article focuses on how the technology and the ability to interact with 3D holograms—while also seeing instructors and classmates—provided extraordinary learning opportunities to advance the study of anatomy. The Microsoft HoloLens allows wearers to see and hear each other and see their "real" environment as they simultaneously interact with a digital anatomy model together as a group—just like they experience in a traditional lab setting.
The IC's work in HoloAnatomy was featured in a recent EdSurge article. When Case Western Reserve University launches a new health education campus with the Cleveland Clinic next year, one feature will be conspicuously absent. There will be no place for cadavers. First- year medical students will still get to take part in conventional dissections through a two-week bootcamp. The IC's Mark Griswold is quoted discussing how mixed reality classrooms are ready to be a primary mode of learning today.
Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, featured our ongoing collaboration in quantum computing at the 2018 Inspire conference. Nadella stressed that organizations around the world are undergoing transformation fueled by cloud, artificial intelligence, mixed reality and the Internet of Things. In this context, Nadella said "Case Western Reserve University has always led with innovation". This section starts around 19 minutes into the keynote presentation.
The IC's work in future-focused education using HoloLens was featured at the Ford NGL Annual Conference in Dearborn, MI. The session featured the Department of Education's Albert Palacios, who had previously organized the EdSim Challenge. Multiple audience members saw a live demonstration of both the IC's HoloAnatomy and EMT training applications.
Yale University brought together faculty members, technologists, and others from more than a dozen colleges, including our team at the IC, to discuss their experiments with virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3-D printers. The workshop covered a host of topics, including the ethics of virtual experiences, the impact of immersive storytelling, and how to serve diverse audiences. The IC's initiative with Microsoft HoloLens to teach anatomy with holographic imagery was featured in a roundup of university virtual reality projects presented at the gathering.
Dominique Franson, a graduate student in CWRU BME professor Nicole Seiberlich's lab, presented the first on-stage demonstration of real-time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquisition and post-processing with real-time visualization in a HoloLens at the 2018 ISMRM meeting in Paris. The system, designed with the help of former IC student and current graduate in Mark Griswold's lab, Andrew Dupuis, is capable of acquiring and displaying images with less than 150ms latency. Dominique showed a demonstration of a beating heart acquired with the technology.
The Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University will name the centerpiece of their new $515-million health education campus the Sheila and Eric Samson Pavilion. The 485,000-square-foot facility is part of an 11-acre health education campus between Euclid and Chester avenues that is set to open in summer 2019. The Samson Pavilion will bring together 2,200 medical, dental, nursing and physician assistant students under one roof. On the day of the evet, members of the IC were providing demonstrations on Microsoft HoloLens.
Nominated by people from no fewer than eight schools, offices and departments, Interactive Commons Executive Director, Erin Henninger was honored with the President's Award for Distinguished Services. This award is granted to staff members "whose outstanding contributions to our campus culture have a transformational effect on university colleagues, students, or visitors with whom they come into contact." All of us in the IC know that Erin has been instrumental to the success of the Interactive Commons' collaboration with Microsoft HoloLens, acting with "selfless dedication" to advance the work of faculty and students. In addition to her professional capabilities, Erin was also noted by a nominator for her trustworthiness and reliability.
After an exceptional experience together using holograms for learning, Case Western Reserve and Microsoft are collaborating again—this time with quantum computing. The centerpiece of the effort involves Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF), an innovative approach to imaging data that would allow quicker and more accurate detection of developing diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, or heart trouble. "Quantum computing provides an opportunity to find the truly best way to scan patients. We are so excited to explore how far we can push these new quantum and quantum-inspired methods beyond traditional computer algorithms," says Interactive Commons Faculty Director, Mark Griswold.
The IC's work in using HoloLens for educational applications was featured in EdTech Magazine. The IC's Mark Griswold and Microsoft's Dan Ayoub was quoted discussing how this technology could impact everything from history to physics to dance.
The IC was featured in a new article in The Possibility Report from The Atlantic and VMWare on how VR/AR technology has the potential to change education. The IC's Faculty Director, Mark Griswold, is quoted saying, "The opportunities for additional education applications are, quite literally, limitless."
A very fast clip of the IC's HoloAnatomy application is featured in a new Microsoft advertisement that aired during the Winter Olympic Games. The piece is narrated by recording artist, actor, poet, and film producer Common. The message of the spot is very much aligned with the mission of the IC-- we have access to more powerful technology than ever before. What are we going to do with it? We all feel incredibly honored to be a part of such a positive message.
In a scene that looked much like our presentation at //Build in 2015, ABC's "The Good Doctor" showed Dr. Neil Melendez and Dr. Shaun Murphy practicing a surgery using HoloLens. This seems to be the first reference to our work in a dramatic TV show, and we couldn't be more proud! This scene was described by online publications such as popculture.com where our work on HoloAnatomy at CWRU was also mentioned. It's great to see that others are starting to pick up on this view of the future. We at the IC are trying to make this future a reality every day!
The IC has partnered with CWRU dance faculty member, Gary Galbraith, to stage the first dance performance using Microsoft HoloLens. In this performance, the entire audience of over 80 people will wear a HoloLens. On stage they are able to see animated holographic set pieces, as well as visually stunning "digital costumes", including particles and tornadoes, that follow the dancers on stage. As far as we know, this represents the largest number of people simultaneously engaged in the same virtual experience anywhere. We see this as opening a door into a whole new artistic medium. As dancer Karen Opper says, "We're able to invite the audience into our imaginations." The production runs from November 10 until November 18th at the Mather Dance Center at CWRU.
CWRU's work on HoloLens was featured in CIO Magazine alongside Bosch and Boeing. Sue Workman, CIO of CWRU, is featured prominently in the article describing how AR technology can impact an institution's network infrastructure. "The infrastructure is where you have to concentrate," Workman says. "The biggest impact has been with Wi-Fi, and we're working through those issues now." We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries with Sue and her team in the coming year!
The new partnership between the Interactive Commons and Boulevard has launched a new HoloLens app focused on bringing arts and cultural artifacts from the world's best museums into your living room. This particular app includes impressionist paintings from the Courtauld Gallery and ancient artifacts from The British Museum. The app includes narration from author Neil Gaman and Patricia Wheatley, Head of Broadcast for the British Museum. We see this as the first of many apps that will allow users to virtually experience museums all over the world.
Case Western Reserve University was named a winner of a DigitalEdge50 Award by Computerworld Magazine for our work using HoloLens to transform education. The group was given the award earlier in the year, and you can now learn more in print in the actual magazine. Sue Workman, CIO of CWRU, and Sue Wish-Baratz, both huge supporters of our work in the IC, are featured prominently in the article.
The IC's work on HoloLens-based education and data visualization was featured on stage at the NSF-sponsored conference on Smart and Connected Cities and US Ignite. After an introduction by Case Institute of Technology graduate and CTO of US Ignite Glenn Ricart, IC directors Mark Griswold and Erin Henninger demonstrated how HoloLens could be used for topics ranging from anatomy education to how HoloLens could be used to visualize data from an array of interconnected Internet-of-Things devices across a whole city. The demonstration garnered significant attention including the tweet linked below.
IC developer Henry Eastman joined IC's new partner Elizabeth Reede, CEO and co-founder of Boulevard Arts, Inc to participate in the invitation-only HoloHack NYC event sponsored by Microsoft. As a prototype for our future work together, they worked on an innovative way of installing and sharing works of art using HoloLens. The photo here shows a scene from the final result, with Henry, Elizabeth (r) and Isabelle Erb (also from Boulevard) standing by a statue of Ramses II from the British Museum. For their work, the team was awarded the silver medal by the event organizers. Keep an eye out for more information on our partnership with Boulevard in coming months.
The IC's work on HoloAnatomy was featured on stage at Cleveland Clinic's Ideas for Tomorrow lecture series with Satya Nadella and Toby Cosgrove. After a few days of preparation, the IC team was able to demonstrate a live broadcast from our own custom camera rig showing the holograms that the on-stage presenters could see. The demonstration begins at about 45 minutes into the linked video. For the record, Toby's request to see the brain at the end was completely spontaneous. Thankfully the IC team is always prepared!
Physics professor Mike Martens and several other IC staff and students were featured in a new video produced by Microsoft highlighting some of the new educational applications of HoloLens. The video focuses on the first three physics pilot classes in electromagnetics that Mike and student Jake Carlin ran in the spring semester. These classes had over 30 students in each class simultaneously viewing the same course material. Portions of the video were filmed earlier in the year at the IC and prominently features IC's LED display wall and student Ellen Kendall at the beginning and end of the video. Former student Danny McKinnon is one of the key students interviewed during the video. Other staff members Kerrin Sunshine, Lauren Ulrey, Katie Binder, Henry Eastman and Erin Henninger can all be seen in the video as well.
Chief operating officer (COO) of Facebook and founder of Leanin.org, Shery Sandberg, came to Cleveland as part of Cleveland Clinic's Ideas for Tomorrow lecture series. During this visit, she got a demo of our HoloAnatomy program from Erin Henninger and Kerrin Sunshine. She posted a nice summary on Facebook.
The venerable magazine National Geographic, with a global circulation of approximately 6.5 million per month, featured the HoloAnatomy work of the Interactive Commons and Cleveland Clinic. The full page article by Nina Strochlic showed two medical students experiencing the HoloAnatomy application and described our efforts from 2014 through to today. We are very thankful to be featured in this revered publication!
International journalist Katie Couric visited Cleveland as part of her reporting series "Cities on the Rise." As part of this story, she went on a virtual anatomy tour with Toby Cosgrove and Mark Griswold. This was an experience of an early version of the curriculum that will be used in our new Health Education Campus. Mark also got to hold her hand for a moment.
The U.S. Department of Education announced that the Interactive Commons is one of five finalists in the EdSim Challenge. The Challenge called upon the virtual reality, video game developer, and educational technology communities to submit concepts for immersive simulations that will prepare students for the globally competitive workforce of the 21st century. The IC competed against nearly 300 entries. The IC now moves forward to the final round where they have the potential to secure a $430,000 final prize.
Fortune Magazine Editor in Chief, Cliff Leaf, visited the Cleveland Clinic to discuss new disruptions in healthcare. As part of this visit, he tested the HoloAnatomy program being developed at the Interactive Commons with faculty director, Mark Griswold. Besides seeing the body in detail, Cliff said, "Seeing this demo with Dr. Cosgrove, a former heart surgeon who pioneered techniques for valve repair that are widely used to this day, was an extra treat."
IC Executive Director, Erin Henninger, and staff member, Kerrin Sunshine, were invited to the Greene Institute for a conference on Managing the Disruption. The conference focused on how new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and robotics, could affect the global economy. Erin spoke after Governor Chris Christie and on the same day as former UK Prime Minister, David Cameron. During the rest of the conference, Erin and Kerrin demonstrated the HoloLens technology for other prominent guests. They also were able to demonstrate the technology for students at the Greene School, all of whom were very excited to be able to see the exciting work from the IC.
The Interactive Commons had the honor of being invited to attend the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland to show the potential for HoloLens to revolutionize education. Eight IC staff members demonstrated the technology to over 450 world leaders throughout the week. These included the leaders of multiple national governments, international corporations and non-profit organizations. Our booth could also be seen on the cover of the New York Times one day during the conference.
The IC and its work on using HoloLens to teach medical anatomy was featured in a broader story on CBS Sunday Morning about virtual and augmented reality. Cleveland native David Pogue visited the IC and saw HoloAnatomy first hand. They also interviewed multiple students, including Nicole Wise, who was featured in the story. IC Faculty Director, Mark Griswold, and HoloLens inventor, Alex Kipman, are also featured. If you look closely, nearly every member of the IC staff can be seen in the video.
Interactive Commons team members Jeffrey Mlakar, Henry Eastman and Rob Gotschall traveled the to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with a contingent from Case Western Reserve University to highlight our work on HoloLens. Several hundred guests were treated to a tour of some of our anatomy work as well as views of our solar system. Their work was featured in a university-wide video linked below. Our section is about 2 minutes in.
National technology journalist David Pogue visited the Interactive Commons to discuss our work using HoloLens for education. David toured the IC facility, and experienced our most recent digital anatomy content. He also interviewed Mark Griswold and several medical students. As David reported to Yahoo News at the link below, these experiences will all be a part of a piece that should air on CBS Sunday Morning sometime this fall.
The team from the Interactive Commons won the immersive virtual reality and augmented reality category in the 2016 Jackson Hole Science Media Awards competition. The team beat out Sir David Attenborough's Great Barrier Reef Virtual Reality Dive, a 20-minute film that provides a 360-degree view of Australia's natural wonder and Google's Tilt Brush, a virtual reality program that allows users to "paint" in three dimensions.
CWRU's efforts to transform anatomy education using HoloLens were featured in a nice overview video produced by The Wall St. Journal.
HoloAnatomy, a demonstration app designed by the Interactive Commons to highlight how mixed-reality technology can transform education, is a finalist in the Jackson Hole Science Media Awards, an international competition that recognizes the best in science communications across a broad range of media. HoloAnatomy has two competitors left in the "Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality" category. One is globally renowned naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough, while the other is Google. The winners will be announced in September.
A new CWRU video highlights three of the HoloLens-based senior projects that were supported by the IC this last semester. These projects include a tool to help musicians, a tool to help patients with psychotherapy and an interactive map that can be used to analyze energy usage on campus. All of these students have a bright future!
Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) featured a first-ever exhibition for immersive storytelling, featuring interactive media, virtual reality, and more. As technology evolves, so too does the way we tell stories. With a new generation of creators, comes innovative collaboration and the capacity to envision multiple perspectives within a single story. Here you can watch the Perspectives Panel discussion in full, featuring creators, artists, and industry professionals - both local and national - talk about this new world of interactive media and virtual reality.
Partners like Lowe's, Greg Lynn FORM, Case Western Reserve University, NASA, and more have moved from proofs of concept to pilot and are now putting Microsoft HoloLens to use in real business scenarios.
Developers in the IC helped CWRU make history by delivering the first third party application in the Microsoft HoloLens app store. The application is a quick demonstration of how we plan to use HoloLens for anatomy education in the future. The accompanying video has already been viewed by millions of people from all over the globe.
Dean of the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Pamela B. Davis, was on stage at the 2016 Microsoft //Build conference to update the world on our digital anatomy program. She was joined on stage by IC members Jeff Mlakar and Henry Eastman who did a live demonstration of the application. They also brought Mark Griswold on stage from a remote location to teach on-stage as an avatar. This was the only on-stage demo of HoloLens at the 2016 keynote lecture.
CWRU researcher lands grant to build stealthy brain tumor treatment combining nanotechnology with traditional chemotherapy drug and resistance-inhibitors. As Stathis Karathanasis says, "It's the Midwestern mentality and the culture at Case Western Reserve that allows people to just talk. And then serendipity occurs."
Microsoft announces HoloLens developer kit price, and a nice shout out to its partners, including CWRU (beginning at minute 16:30).

Can an EEG detect tumors?
Not directly. Eeg measures the activity of brain cells, not tumors. If the tumor is effecting a significant number of brain cells, the eeg may be abnormal. Some tumors cause enough irritation of the brain to cause seizures. These seizures can be located in the brain by eeg. Some tumors will have no effect on the eeg.
Indirectly. Eegs record electrical activity of all the neurons under the electrodes. If there is a tumor present, the normal brain cells are not present, so the eegs will record a decrease or absent activity. If the tumor is irritating the brain, it can cause the area to be hyperactive. Either way, the reading is abnormal, and patient should have an MRI to look for structural changes that would explain the ab.
No. Eeg is mainly used to detect seizure. Other diseases including tumor can give abnormal eeg, but these abnormalities are nonspecific as to cause.
Related Questions
Can an EEG detect any/every brain tumor? Meaning if someone has a brain tumor will it for sure be detectable on an EEG?

If you wish to get in touch with our administrative staff, please see the admin staff contact page.
Assistant Professor, Faculty of Arts
Before coming to Nottingham, I was an Addison Wheeler Fellow and intermittent part-time lecturer at Durham and also spent six months at Leeds as lecturer in philosophy of religion. I am committed to improving the representation of women and other underrepresented groups in academic philosophy and to that end was founded of the Diversity and Inclusion Group at Durham philosophy and Equality and Inclusion Officer at Leeds.
I'm on leave for the academic year 2017-18.
My Nottingham modules are History of Western Philosophy and Topics in Asian Philosophy.
I also contribute lectures to:
Previously I've taught ethics (theoretical and applied), epistemology, early modern philosophy, philosophy of medicine, philosophy of religion, history and philosophy of science, Indian religion and philosophy, and various topics and figures in history of Western philosophy.
I'm working mainly on five projects.
1. Epistemic virtues, vices, and corruption I'm interested in the epistemic virtues of curiosity and courage, epistemic vices like hubris and laziness, the history and methodology of vice epistemology, the phenomenon of epistemic corruption, epistemic injustice, virtuous and vicious argumentative and adversarial practice, cross-cultural virtue and vice epistemology, and epistemic character and education. This work shades into social and applied epistemology and the philosophy of education. An emerging aim is to articulate a doctrine of 'epistemic misanthropy', a dark, negative appraisal of humankind based on a sober appreciation of our epistemic vices and failings - ones pronounced, entrenched, and ubiquitous in our ways of life. (Cheerful stuff, of course, continuous with a longer historical tendency, within philosophy, to misanthropy.)
2. The experience and value of illness I defend the claim that certain experiences of illness can, under certain conditions, have positive moral and transformative value. Certain ways of experiencing and responding to illness can enable the cultivation of certain virtues and be 'edifying'. Crucially, however, this claim must not lapse into invidious 'bright-siding' of illness - a genuine worry for a humane philosophy of illness of the sort that I want to provide. My questions include: how can experiences of illness enable the cultivation and exercise of virtues? What are the virtues associated with edifying responses to illness? What sorts of conditions can enable edification in illness? What do we say about cases where illness erodes rather than enhances a person's moral character?
3. Epistemic injustice and illness Ill persons often report feel ignored, 'silenced', or otherwise epistemically marginalised within both healthcare encounters and the wider social world. In an ongoing collaboration, Havi Carel and I argue that many of these reports can be articulated as experiences of pathocentric epistemic injustice. A positive upshot is that we can use epistemology and phenomenology to try to improve healthcare practice and policy to counter such injustices.
4. The later Feyerabend The philosopher of science, Paul Feyerabend, the self-styled 'epistemological anarchist', was dubbed 'the worst enemy of science'. Throughout the mid- to later stages of his career, he advanced criticisms of certain conceptions of science and of scientific culture. Against the 'bad reputation', I argue that Feyerabend was a critic of scientism not of science. Indeed, on my reading, central to his project was an ardent defence of the epistemic authority of science against the myths and simplifications that distort or disguise its complexities (like methodological monism or the value-free ideal.) I therefore connect Feyerabend's epistemology and philosophy of science with his educational, political, and cultural interests.
5. Spiritual exemplars I'm using Linda Zagzebki's exemplarism to explore the plurality of forms of spiritual exemplarity. I aim to give accounts of cross-cultural varieties of spiritual exemplarity, the aesthetics of exemplarity, and the idea of 'cosmic emulation' - that certain human virtues are emulations of deep features of the grounds or source of reality. What emerges is a pluralistic account of spiritual exemplarity that illuminates the practices and experiences intrinsic to the relevant traditions, and also articulate their deep, underlying aspirations - a task for the phenomenology of the spiritual life.
Other bits I also work on the history of 19th and 20th century Austro-German philosophy, with a special interest in Nietzsche, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, and the 'reactionary modernists'. I'm also starting to work more on classical Chinese philosophy, focusing on classical Confucianism and early Daoism, mainly via exemplarist studies of their literary style and moral practices. Based on the religious work on beauty, virtue, and character, I'm also interested to defend the idea of embodied moral beauty - a form of beauty consisting of the expression of virtues in bodily comportment (e.g. gestures, speech, posture).

Don't mind the mess!
We're currently in the process of migrating the Panda3D Manual to a new service. This is a temporary layout in the meantime.
bdist_apps command will run the
build_apps command and then package the resulting builds. Currently, the only packaging options available are archives (e.g, zip, tar.gz, etc.). Adding support for installers is planned for the future.
bdist_apps command will make use of
build_apps.build_base and
build_apps.platforms. The following options are unique to
- installers
- a dictionary of installers/packages to create for each platform (keys are strings for the platform, values are strings representing installers, defaults to gztar for manylinux1_x86_64/manylinux1_i386 and zip for everything else)
The list of available installers are:
- zip
- a zip archive
- gztar
- a gzip compressed tar archive
- bztar
- a bzip2 compressed tar archive
- xztar
- an xz compressed tar archive

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for international Scientific Research
Recent studies have discovered the occurrence of numerous submicron particles in natural seawater. The numbers exceed those of bacteria by at least an order of magnitude in the surface layrs of marine environments. The understanding of their origin and fate are becoming an important issue to clarify the transformation or cycles of organic matter, including semi-labile fractions. At present, however, their degradation process is poorly understood. In this work, we tested a hypothesis that the protein associated with membraneous submicron particles is less easily degraded than those in dissolved state. Model substrates were prepared and their degradation rates by natural microbial assemblages were followed.Membrane fraction which was labeled with ^3H and soluble fractions labeled with ^<14>C were prepared from a marine bacterium, Vibrio alginolyticus (138-2). In addition, we joined two cruises in Delaware Bay in summer, 1995 to clarify the population size and activity of bacteria in this particular environments. The results showed that the degradation rates of protein in membrane fraction was much slower than in the soluble fraction ; sometimes less than one third of the latter. This indicates that the association with other molecules such as lipids or polysaccharides makes the biopolymer less degradable or less accessible by bacterial attack. The result has a great implication to understand the fate of semi-labile organic matter in marine environment. The field date from the cruises are now being analyzed and will be discussed with the degradation experimental results stated above.

School Uniform
A polite reminder of the school's policy on footwear. Our Uniform Policy clearly states:
"Black or Navy Shoes or Sandals (with heels less than 3cm high)"
Unfortunately, some children are wearing footwear that is not acceptable as school uniform. As well as not following school guidelines, it can also cause resentment from pupils who are abiding by the school`s policy.
* If for any reason you feel you are unable to provide your child with suitable footwear, please ensure you speak to Mrs McClean our Learning Mentor.
Year 6 SATs Picnic
Mr Willmott would like to say a massive `thank you` to parents who contributed all those lovely goodies for our end of SATs picnic last week! The children shared their celebrations (and teddies) with our youngest children from Early Years. It was wonderful to see how mature, caring and thoughtful our Year 6 children were with the little ones. A brilliant time was had by all!!
Year 5 – Residential Meeting
Reminder: A meeting has been arranged for Year 5 parents on Monday 13th June at 15:30. At this meeting we will discuss the venue, dates and costings. Hopefully, I am giving everyone enough notice so that as many of you as possible are able to attend. This should give you time to start a savings plan if you would like your child to take part in a great Outdoor Pursuit week at the end of Year 6.
Milk Scheme
The letter regarding the milk scheme was sent out earlier this week. Please remember that reply slips and payment must be received in the office no later than Wednesday 25th May.
Any orders received after that cannot be added on.

Download Kwesi Arthur - Nobody ft. Mr Eazi.mp3
For a while now, the talented Kwesi Arthur has been working on the second edition of his Live From Nkrumah Krom tape. Finally within reach — it's set to drop on April 26 — the Ghanaian rapper has released the project's lead single, the Mr Eazi-aided "Nobody," reports KOBINI.
"Nobody" begins with an effervescent beat that will sweep anyone with a pulse off their feet. Kwesi Arthur
hops on the track rather abruptly, wasting no time before he begins pleading with his lover to return to him.
However, Kwesi Arthur and Mr Eazi spend the song's three-minute runtime lamenting the good times they shared with their respective girlfriends, professing their continued devotion, as they're not willing to lose that love.
Consequently, the upcoming tape will also include features from Nasty C, Shatta Wale, Santi, Sarkodie and more.
The new song was produced by MOG Beatz.

|Native to
|Malayalam (rarely in Arabi-Malayalam Script)
|Language codes
Mappila dialect (formerly Moplah Malayalam) is a variety of Malayalam, a language with a distinct modern diglossia, spoken predominantly by the Muslim Mappila community of Kerala, southern India. The Mappila form can be classified as a regional dialect in northern Kerala, or as a class or occupational dialect of the Mappila community. The Mappila dialect can also called as a vernacular in general, or as a provincial patois, with the latter label being increasingly applicable in Colonial times. All the forms of the Malayalam language, including Mappila, are mutually intelligible.[2][3]
The Mappila form show some lexical (vocabulary) admixture from Arabic and Persian.[3][4]
The variety is also used by lower caste non-Muslims in northern Kerala, Muslims in Dakshina Kannada, and different Mappila migrant communities in South East Asia.[5]

PHOTOGRAPHY PRISCILLA DICKSON, NICOLE KESTENBAUM, DANIEL ORTIZ, VICKY PINK. ANNE LEE PHILLIPS MIXES AND MINGLES. PHOTOGRAPHY JACOB POWER. CELEBRATION AT SAKS A citadel of the fall social season, the 16th annual Key to the Cure Charity Shopping Weekend was kicked off in great style at Saks Fifth Avenue, benefitting CancerForward: The Foundation for Cancer Survivors for the fifth year. Saks VP Bobby Dees and kickoff chairs Kristy and Chris Bradshaw honored the 2014 Class of CancerForward Forward Movers — civic leaders and cancer survivors who serve as role models. This year's class included Rev. Preston J. Allen, Ron Baloochi, Janet Cockrell, Rebecca Cooke, Anne Hamilton Meyn, Michael Francisco, Dr. Margo Hilliard Alford, and Dr. Bob Gower. Potentate of American prep Tommy Hilfiger and his wife, handbag designer Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, provided celebrity swoon factor for more than 500 guests. Keys to a good time: former Texas Secretary of State Jack Rains; sisters Rachel Gower and Allison Gower, cheering on their Forward Mover dad; Rebekah Johnson; Candy and Lonnie Schiller; Ting Bresnahan; Rachel Solar; Audrey Cochran; and Shawntell McWilliams. C onvivial Kathryn and Jeff Smith not only chaired the annual Holiday Schmooze but also hosted it at their refined River Oaks abode. Two hundred guests enjoyed cocktails and bites from Jackson and Company while raising $200,000 for Legacy Community Health Services' HIV and AIDS programs. Legacy's Katy Caldwell thanked donors for contributing more than $1 million since the first Schmooze in 1996. The ever-popular party with a purpose caused a petite traffic jam, but guests were appeased with chocolate truffles as they awaited the valet. Toasting tradition: Elizabeth DeLuca, Claire Cormier Thielke chatting with Melanie Gray, John Evatz, Julie Oliver, Robyn Vermeil, Courtney and Bo Hopson, Jackson Hicks and Milton Townsend, Stan Neeley, Karen Wildenstein, Katherine Phelps, Cheryl Byington, C.C.
