Ethics and Engagement
(February 26 to March 5, 2015)
Please credit: Salzburg Global Seminar/Ela Grieshaber
Participating institution: Miami Dade College, FL, USA
Tomorrow's leaders must think and act as global citizens in order to address the challenges facing humanity. Broadly defined, global citizens are people who are consciously prepared to live and work in the complex interdependent society of the 21st century and contribute to improving the common global welfare of our planet and its inhabitants. The program aims to engage participating students as global citizens, helping them develop the knowledge, skills, values, and commitment to:
Understand the nature of globalization, including its positive and negative impacts around the world, and realize how it is transforming human society;
Appreciate the diversity of humanity in all of its manifestations, from local to global, and interact with different groups of people to address common concerns;
Recognize the critical global challenges that are compromising humanity's future and see how their complexity and interconnections make solutions increasingly difficult; and
Collaborate with different sets of stakeholders, by thinking globally and acting locally, to resolve these critical challenges and build a more equitable and sustainable world.
The session format includes lectures and discussions with an international faculty as well as formal and informal work in small groups. Topics addressed in plenary lectures and discussions include globalization and global responsibility; the social, economic, and political aspects of migration; the historical legacy of the Holocaust, human rights, humanitarian intervention; sustainable development; and the implications of the United States' influence around the world.
Participants will consider how these issues relate to their current situations and future personal, educational, and professional plans. They will also have the opportunity to develop projects and activities related to the session topic that can be implemented at their colleges and universities, in their local communities, and beyond.

UWO Graphic arts students present their final self directed projects for critique in the art department in the Arts and Communications building. Tuesday, December 11, 2018.
On April 22, 14 girls and two coaches from Brazil who are a part of "Las Estrellas," a sports, leadership and English program, came to Knoxville, TN as part of the U.S. Department of State Empowering Women and Girls through Sports Initiative. After the first day, they had already experienced University culture by participating in Dr. Ashleigh Huffman's Service-Learning class and eating in the cafeteria.
So here's how it works:
> Turning the aperture ring raises the "Diaphragm Bar" behind the lens. At f/2.8 it's completely below the lens opening, and at f/22 it's just below the lens centerline.
> When the mirror rises, it drags this panel up with it; the odd shaped hole in the middle is the shutter opening. The mirror/shutter rises just as fast as its spring can whack it, and returns at the same speed as soon as it reaches the top.
> At f/2.8, the shutter is open for the entire distance of travel shown in green above - it takes about 1/60 second to cover this distance. But at f/22, with the DIaphragm Bar up where the purple line indicates, the shutter doesn't open until it reaches that line, and it closes as soon as it passes that line on the way down. The entire movement takes the same time as before, but the open time is only the time that it takes to travel the distance shown by the purple arrows. Assuming that the speed at f/2.8 was 1/60, this works out to about 1/500 second.
> The aperture at f/22 (and at all other settings except for f/2.8) is in the shape of a triangle with its point at the top - the top 2 sides are the edges of the "roof" part of the shutter opening, and the bottom side is provided by the Diaphragm bar.
It's actually just a little more complicated than this. In the above description, the f/22 opening is not centered on the same axis as the f/2.8 opening, and in fact if the Diaphragm Bar actually went as high as the purple line it would block off the center of the lens. So, in addition to all of the above, at the smaller apertures, the mirror/shutter is actually stopping its upward travel earlier than it does at full aperture. How does it do this? In the view of the Diaphragm Bar at www.flickr.com/photos/rick_oleson/53225547915/in/dateposted/, there is a second, gold colored bar that's coupled to the Diaphragm Bar, with a bent-up tab at its tip. As the Diaphragm Bar rises, this gold bar comes down - the tab at the end is the stop that the mirror strikes against to stop its upward travel. The two bars are coupled together so that the mirror's stopping position produces a centered triangular aperture opening at all settings. Dang.
Whoever did this will probably never be famous - but he was good.

Trip to Alaska. Helicopter Tour. Mendenhall Glacier. Juneau. Jul/2016
Mendenhall Glacier is a glacier about 13.6 miles long located in Mendenhall Valley, about 12 miles (19 km) from downtownJuneau in the southeast area of the U.S. state of Alaska.[2] The glacier and surrounding landscape is protected as the 5,815-acre Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area, a federally designated unit of the Tongass National Forest.[3]
The Juneau Icefield Research Program has monitored the outlet glaciers of the Juneau Icefield since 1942, including Mendenhall Glacier. The glacier has also retreated 1.75 miles (2.82 km) since 1958, when Mendenhall Lake was created, and over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) since 1500. The end of the glacier currently has a negative glacier mass balance and will continue to retreat in the foreseeable future.[4]
Given that average yearly temperatures are currently increasing, and the outlook is for this trend to continue, it is actually possible that the glacier might experience a period of stabilization or slight advance during its retreating march. This is because increasing amounts of warm, moist air will be carried up to the head of the icefield, where colder ambient temperatures will cause it to precipitate as snow. The increased amount of snow will feed the icefield, possibly enough to offset the continually increasing melting experienced at the glacier's terminus. However, this interesting phenomenon will fade away if temperatures continue to climb, since the head of the glacier will no longer have cold enough ambient temperatures to cause snow to precipitate.

O glaciar (ou Geleira) Mendenhall é um glaciar/geleira com aproximadamente 19 km de comprimento situado no vale de Mendenhall a aproximadamente 19 km de Juneau, Alasca, nos Estados Unidos.
Originalmente conhecido como Sitaantaagu ("o glaciar por detrás da vila") ou Aak'wtaaksit ("o glaciar por detrás do pequeno lago") pelos tlingits, o glaciar (ou geleira) foi baptizado glaciar Auke pelo naturalista John Muir em 1879. Foi rebaptizado em 1892 em honra de Thomas Corwin Mendenhall, superintendente do U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey entre 1889 e 1894. Estende-se desde o campo de gelo de Juneau, a sua origem, até ao lago Mendenhall.
O Juneau Icefield Research Program estuda os glaciares (ou geleiras) de descarga do campo de gelo de Juneau desde 1946. Entre 1948 e 2005 o ponto terminal do glaciar (geleira), que flui através dos subúrbios de Juneau, recuou 580 metros. Desde 1910, ano da criação do lago Mendenhall, o glaciar recuou 2,8 km e recuou 4,0 km desde 1700. Actualmente apresenta balanço de massa negativo e deverá continuar a recuar no futuro próximo.
O glaciar (or geleira) Mendenhall está incluÃdo na Floresta Nacional de Tongass.

Designing Programs : Gerstnerizer v.0.5
A series of test images from a piece of software in development called the Gerstnerizer. This is a working tool for graphic designers who want to create their own patterns, save them, share them and export them.
The work is informed by geometric and arabic design as well as having been inspired by the great Swiss graphic designer, Karl Gerstner who wrote a wealth of works on programming and using a systematic approach to design.
