To Save a City - The Berlin Airlift and Operation Kinderlift The first major crisis of the Cold War occurred in the summer of 1948. The Soviet Union blocked rail, road, and water access to West Berlin, thereby initiating a bold allied response - saving the city by air - a feat, at the time, that no one in the highest levels of the Truman administration ever thought possible. Yet, with the determined leadership of General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Occupied Germany, the Berlin Airlift, and the “can do,” “will do” attitude of U.S. Air Force General William Tunner, one of the most significant feats of American and allied humanitarianism was underway. At the height of the airlift, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful. The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. The Berlin Airlift lasted for nearly a year, when in May 1949, the Soviets lifted the blockade of West Berlin. In the summer of 1953, Berlin was again the site of massive humanitarian action – this time the transport of thousands of malnourished children – Operation Kinderlift - who were flown out of West Berlin by the U.S. Air Force to spend the summer months in West Germany. Paul A. Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, will teach the class. PLEASE NOTE! The class will be held at the System Office, 5000 Research Forest Dr., The Woodlands, in the Star Ballroom. This is a class in which all six campuses will be registering students.

Wise argues that cognitively complex animals such as chimpanzees, whales, dolphins, and elephants deserve to be treated as sentient, self-aware and autonomous beings.

The Human Experience

This is a moving documentary that follows two brothers and their friends who travel the world in search of answers to the questions: Who am I? Who is Man? Why do we search for meaning? Their journey takes them to the cold streets of New York City where they live among the homeless, to a hospital for abandoned and disabled children in Peru, and to rural Ghana where they share common emotions with AIDS victims and lepers forced to live apart from their families. Through these encounters the brothers are awakened to the inner beauty and resilience of the human spirit which enables them to return home with a larger sense of what it means to be human. Much of the charm of this documentary is examining the meaning of life through young eyes. 14168

Learn ways to experience the good things in your life regardless of your life situation. This fun, energetic class will help you realize, discover, rediscover, and live the joys that are already in your life, perhaps hidden under the “clutter of everyday life,” or even so disguised inside some sad events that you haven’t been able to see them. 14221

Battle of Warsaw (1920) Learn about this little-known epic struggle that followed immediately after The Great War, 1914-1918. It is often referred to as the 18th most decisive battle in world history and yet few have heard of it. This battle had a totally unexpected outcome and was directly responsible for stopping the spread of Communism into Western Europe, which was still weak and seething with revolutionary ideas after The Great War. We will start with a 1½ hour presentation to build some perspective on the history of Poland followed by a detailed review of the battle itself. This will enable a greater appreciation of the new movie obtained directly from Poland, 1920 Bitwa Warsawa, which will be shown during lunch. 14167

To Save a City - The Berlin Airlift and Operation Kinderlift The first major crisis of the Cold War occurred in the summer of 1948. The Soviet Union blocked rail, road, and water access to West Berlin, thereby initiating a bold allied response - saving the city by air space – a feat, at the time, that no one in the highest levels of the Truman administration ever thought possible. Yet, with the determined leadership of General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Occupied Germany, the Berlin Airlift, and the “can do,” “will do” attitude of U.S. Air Force General William Tunner, one of the most significant feats of American and allied humanitarianism was underway. At the height of the airlift, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful. The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. The Berlin Airlift lasted for nearly a year, when in May 1949, the Soviets lifted the blockade of West Berlin. In the summer of 1953, Berlin was again the site of massive humanitarian action – this time the transport of thousands of malnourished children – Operation Kinderlift - who were flown out of West Berlin by the U.S. Air Force to spend the summer months in West Germany. The class will be taught by Paul A. Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama.

Writing is Exciting This interactive writing workshop now enters its third year. We welcome those who want to achieve clarity in all forms of their writing, from correspondence, essays, fiction, nonfiction, and autobiographical projects. More than teaching a specific style of writing, this class encourages and nurtures each person to find his or her own voice and unique style. All assignments are read out loud in class to elicit positive critique from other class members in an environment of support and encouragement. At the end of the semester, the best of each writer’s efforts are put into a bound booklet, something to keep and be remembered about the experience. This semester, writers are also encouraged to enter their work in some of the many writing competitions held annually, locally and around the country. Writing is a cornerstone of our daily lives; we can and should continue to improve written communication. Come join us and add your skills, talents, and aspirations to this fine effort.

Early Reformation The Reformation was one of the most important times in the history of the Christian church. It was a continuous movement of actions, ideas, personalities, and people, and it was not homogeneous. This presentation will examine why the Reformation occurred and will concentrate on its early years, extending into the 1560s. Your instructor is Dr. Michael Condit, a retired physician who specialized in internal medicine and rheumatology. He has taught ALL classes on subjects that currently interest him: philosophy, theology, history of religion, and Greek and European history.

Death Education As the old refrain goes, one cannot avoid death or taxes. Your instructor, John O’Malley, intends to shed some light on the former by exploring a number of themes we all have encountered, one way or another, as we’ve gotten older. Some sample aspects of this “training” in Death Education will be: death defined; death & poetics; types of death; trajectories of death; the beginning and the end of conversations on death; cognitive decline (especially Alzheimer’s), love, and caregiving; preparing for the eventuality; and reflections participants have on whether death is the end or the beginning. Of course, other topics as voiced by participants will be honored. 14193

We will look first at the continuation in the East of the Roman Empire known as Byzantine, which lasted another 1,000 years. Then we will turn back to the West and the rise of Charlemagne and his empire, and the cultural renaissance which was effected owing to his rule. Finally, we will close with a study of the cathedral and its central place in the society of the medieval world, an icon of its civilization.

LSC-ATASCOCITA LSC-KINGWOOD CENTER

To Save a City - The Berlin Airlift and Operation Kinderlift The first major crisis of the Cold War occurred in the summer of 1948. The Soviet Union blocked rail, road, and water access to West Berlin, thereby initiating a bold allied response - saving the city by air space – a feat, at the time, that no one in the highest levels of the Truman administration ever thought possible. Yet, with the determined leadership of General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Occupied Germany, the Berlin Airlift, and the “can do,” “will do” attitude of U.S. Air Force General William Tunner, one of the most significant feats of American and allied humanitarianism was underway. At the height of the airlift, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful. The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. The Berlin Airlift lasted for nearly a year, when in May 1949, the Soviets lifted the blockade of West Berlin. In the summer of 1953, Berlin was again the site of massive humanitarian action – this time the transport of thousands of malnourished children – Operation Kinderlift - who were flown out of West Berlin by the U.S. Air Force to spend the summer months in West Germany. The class will be taught by Paul A. Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. PLEASE NOTE! The class will be held at the Lone Star College System Office, 5000 Research Forest Dr., The Woodlands, in the Star Ballroom. This is a class in which all six campuses will be registering students. If you plan to attend, please carpool with other members from your campus so that parking spaces are available for everyone.

SENIOR ISSUES Senior Medicare Patrol Today, in Texas, hundreds of elderly Texans are receiving harassing phone calls and personal visits from scam artists seeking to make a fraudulent dollar off Medicare. The predators offer seniors “free” durable medical equipment (DME) -- such as knee braces, and more -- items they neither want nor need, and taxpayers end up footing the bill. Experts say the price tag is staggering, up to $250 billion per year. Join Jennifer Salazar from the Better Business Bureau Education Foundation to learn how to protect, detect, and prevent Medicare and health care fraud. 16911

To Save a City - The Berlin Airlift and Operation Kinderlift The first major crisis of the Cold War occurred in the summer of 1948. The Soviet Union blocked rail, road, and water access to West Berlin, thereby initiating a bold allied response - saving the city by air - a feat, at the time, that no one in the highest levels of the Truman administration ever thought possible. Yet, with the determined leadership of General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Occupied Germany, the Berlin Airlift, and the “can do,” “will do” attitude of U.S. Air Force General William Tunner, E-MAIL: [email protected]

one of the most significant feats of American and allied humanitarianism was underway. At the height of the airlift, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful. The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. The Berlin Airlift lasted for nearly a year, when in May 1949, the Soviets lifted the blockade of West Berlin. In the summer of 1953, Berlin was again the site of massive humanitarian action – this time the transport of thousands of malnourished children – Operation Kinderlift - who were flown out of West Berlin by the U.S. Air Force to spend the summer months in West Germany. The class will be taught by Paul A. Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. PLEASE NOTE! The class will be held at the Lone Star College System Office, 5000 Research Forest Dr, The Woodlands, in the Star Ballroom. This is a class in which all six campuses will be registering students.

The ALL program offers a few classes that require an additional fee. For these popular classes, there are special registration guidelines. If you want to sign up for a class with a fee, it is important to do this at the Registration Open House. Early enrollment in these classes is not accepted. Since enrollment in these classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up tables when the doors open.

To Save a City - The Berlin Airlift and Operation Kinderlift The first major crisis of the Cold War occurred in the summer of 1948. The Soviet Union blocked rail, road, and water access to West Berlin, thereby initiating a bold allied response - saving the city by air - a feat, at the time, that no one in the highest levels of the Truman administration ever thought possible. Yet, with the determined leadership of General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Occupied Germany, the Berlin Airlift, and the “can do,” “will do” attitude of U.S. Air Force General William Tunner, one of the most significant feats of American and allied humanitarianism was underway. At the height of the airlift, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful. The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. The Berlin Airlift lasted for nearly a year, when in May 1949, the Soviets lifted the blockade of West Berlin. In the summer of 1953, Berlin was again the site of massive humanitarian action – this time the transport of thousands of malnourished children – Operation Kinderlift - who were flown out of West Berlin by the U.S. Air Force to spend the summer months in West Germany. The class will be taught by Paul A. Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama.

Avoiding Elder Abuse and Dealing with Elder Abuse Once it Begins Today many of us live long distances from our parents, siblings and children. Even with social media we lose connecions with close friends. One fact of life is that one partner in a marriage usually predeceases the other partner in a marriage. Loss and age can make the elderly survivor feel isolated. Elder abusers sense isolation, loneliness, helplessness and money. If you have a place to live and know where your next meal is comig from you can be the target of financial elder abuse. But elder abuse comes in many forms including abuse of one’s own self. Elder abuse once it begins can be difficult to stop. Preparation can reduce our likelihood of abuse. Knowledge of how to fight elder abuse can help rescue family and friends from abuse. 17091

“As a new student and volunteer with ALL this semester, I would like to share a few quick thoughts. I have been so impressed by the kindness, the dedication, and the sincerity of all the volunteers (especially the instructors!) in making this such a successful program. I think the intended purpose of this program has far exceeded everyone’s expectations. It’s a great learning environment where you can pick and choose from a variety of courses that may coincide with some of your daily living habits, interests, or hobbies. Overall, it’s been a wonderful learning experience with no prerequisites, no exams, and most importantly, no additional demands. Being able to select courses in your area of interest, arranging a schedule that works best for you and then meeting some wonderful people along the way are just some of the additional benefits.” Cindy Walton LSC-UP ALL Member

If you want to sign up for a class with a fee, it is important to do this at the Registration Open House. Early enrollment in these classes is not accepted. Since enrollment in these classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up tables when the doors open.

The Reformation After 500 Years On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his fateful document of protest, the Ninety-Five Theses, on the door of All Saints’ Church, also known as the Castle Church, in Wittenberg, capital of the Electorate of Saxony and site of the university where Luther taught. Although Luther’s initial goal was only to reform Christianity as practiced in Western Europe, he had unwittingly set off an upheaval across the continent which divided the Church forever, and cost vast human suffering in the Wars of Religions which raged for 150 years. In this course, we shall survey some of the great personalities, ideas and events of the Age of Reformation from our vantage point of five centuries later.

To Save a City - The Berlin Airlift and Operation Kinderlift The first major crisis of the Cold War occurred in the summer of 1948. The Soviet Union blocked rail, road, and water access to West Berlin, thereby initiating a bold allied response—saving the city by air—a feat, at the time, that no one in the highest levels of the Truman administration ever thought possible. Yet, with the determined leadership of General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Occupied Germany, the Berlin Airlift, and the “can do”, “will do” attitude of the U.S. Air Force General William Tunner, one of the most significant feats of American and allied humanitarianism was underway. At the height of the airlift, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. The Berlin Airlift lasted for nearly a year, when in May 1949, the Soviets lifted the blockade of West Berlin. In the summer of 1953, Berlin was again the site of massive humanitarian action—this time the transport of thousands of malnourished children---Operation Kinderlift—who were flown out of West Berlin by the U.S. Air Force to spend the summer months in West Germany. The class will be taught by Paul A. Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. PLEASE NOTE! The class will be held at the Lone Star College System Office, 5000 Research Forest Dr, The Woodlands, in the Star Ballroom. This is a class in which all six campuses will be registering students. If you plan to attend, please carpool with other members from your campus, so that parking spaces are available for everyone. 16395

Since enrollment in these classes is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the class fee is paid at that time, make it a priority on the day of the Open House to go directly to the sign-up tables when the doors open.

Why Your Next Computer Should Be A Chromebook A Chromebook is a laptop of a different breed. Instead of Windows 10 or Mac OS X, Chromebooks run Google’s Chrome OS. These machines are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents living in the cloud. As a result, they don’t have much local storage, but they don’t have very large price tags, either. They don’t need antivirus software and you never need to back them up. And they boot up in just 10 seconds! Jerry Matson will discuss why you might want to consider a Chromebook for your next computer. 16335

Food & Mood The basic premise of this presentation is that you not only are what you eat, but you also eat what you are. Your food choices have profound effects on your energy level, mood, sleep habits, ability to cope with stress, and more. On the other hand, how you feel is intricately linked to what you choose to eat from one meal to the next. Poor eating habits establish patterns in the brain chemicals that regulate appetite and mood, which set you up for mood swings, food cravings, poor sleep habits, and other emotional problems that are not inherent in your personality. 16096

To Save a City – The Berlin Airlift and Operation Kinderlift The first major crisis of the Cold War occurred in the summer of 1948. The Soviet Union blocked rail, road, and water access to West Berlin, thereby initiating a bold allied response - saving the city by air - a feat, at the time, that no one in the highest levels of the Truman administration ever thought possible. Yet, with the determined leadership of General Lucius D. Clay, the U.S. Military Governor of Occupied Germany, the Berlin Airlift, and the “can do,” “will do” attitude of U.S. Air Force General William Tunner, one of the most significant feats of American and allied humanitarianism was underway. At the height of the airlift, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful. The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. The Berlin Airlift lasted for nearly a year when in May 1949, the Soviets lifted the blockade of West Berlin. In the summer of 1953, Berlin was again the site of massive humanitarian action – this time the transport of thousands of malnourished children – Operation Kinderlift - who were flown out of West Berlin by the U.S. Air Force to spend the summer months in West Germany. The class will be taught by Paul A. Harris, Ph.D., Professor of Political Science, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama. PLEASE NOTE! The class will be held at the Lone Star College System Office, 5000 Research Forest Dr, The Woodlands, in the Star Ballroom. This is a class in which all six campuses will be registering students.
