@ 10:00 am
The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington D.C.
On Saturday, November 12, 2011, the class began a study of "God as the Eternal Source and Goal of Life". This topic was chosen because Dr. Howard Thurman brings you a unique opportunity to hear one of American's greatest spiritual teachers---speaking to you across the years with timeless wisdom for your human journey. We will use 2 references: (1) The "Inward Journey" by Dr. Howard Thurman, was a philosopher, theologian, educator, reformer and author of more than 20 books. He was Dean of Theology and the chapels at Howard University and Boston University for more than two decades, wrote 21 books, and in 1944 helped found a multicultural church; and (2) "The Living Wisdom of Howard Thurman" by Dr. Howard Thurman, with Vincent Harding, Michael Bernard Beckwith, and Alice Walker. PowerPoint's are presented during the class. Class members also are encouraged to mediate and listen to the words of Dr. Thurman during the class. Members are also encouraged to write meditations based on their experience along the journey during the 12 to 15 week sessions. This class is opened to all adults of all ages.

The CSIS Southeast Asia program is pleased to invite you to participate in a Singapore Conference on February 8, 2012, with a select and high level group of experts and senior policy officials at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). The conference will bring together several ministers from Singapore’s new cabinet and other Singaporean and U.S. Officials, thought leaders, business executives, and journalists to discuss a range of issues from the political changes taking place in Singapore to cooperation between our countries on regional and global priorities. The Singapore Conference will focus on five key themes:1. Assessing Singapore’s politics and foreign policy2. Strengthening trade partnerships and constructing a framework for growth in the Asia-Pacific3. Bolstering security cooperation in Asia4. Educational partnerships and preparing students for the 21st Century economy5. Defining a strategic cooperation for the 21st centuryThe conference is organized at a vital moment for both the United States and Singapore. The center of gravity for American foreign policy, national security, and economic interests are being realigned and shifting towards Asia. The United States is thinking more strategically about the Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asia in particular. Singapore has been a vital partner of the United States with extensive linkages from trade and investment, sustainable environmental policy, to security and political ties. American officials, business leaders, and civil society leaders and the new Singaporean leadership value this opportunity to discuss these issues, and the conference has been designed to meet that need.I hope that you will be able to join us and provide you insights and input to enrich this important and timely discussion.Please note that all of the keynote speeches will be on the record.

"Islam Through Western Eyes: From the Crusades to the War on Terrorism"
Wednesday, February 8
@ 12:30 pm
to 2:00 pm
Georgetown University
invites you to a book event:"Islam Through Western Eyes: From the Crusades to the War on Terrorism"________________________ featuring author:Jonathan Lyons________________________Book Description:Despite the West's growing involvement in Muslim societies, conflicts, and cultures, its inability to understand or analyze the Islamic world threatens any prospect for East-West rapprochement. Impelled by 1,000 years of anti-Muslim ideas and images, the West has failed to engage in any meaningful or productive way with the world of Islam. Formulated in the medieval halls of the Roman Curia and courts of the European Crusaders and perfected in the cable TV newsrooms, this anti-Islamic discourse determines what can and cannot be said about Muslims and their religion, trapping the West in a dangerous, dead-end politics that it cannot afford.
In Islam Through Western Eyes, Jonathan Lyons unpacks Western habits of thinking and writing about Islam, conducting a careful analysis of the West's grand totalizing narrative across one thousand years of history. He observes the discourse's corrosive effects on the social sciences, including sociology, politics, philosophy, theology, international relations, security studies, and human rights scholarship. He follows its influence on research, speeches, political strategy, and government policy, preventing the West from responding effectively to its most significant twenty-first-century challenges: the rise of Islamic power, the emergence of religious violence, and the growing tension between established social values and multicultural rights among Muslim immigrant populations. Through the intellectual "archaeology" of Michel Foucault, Lyons reveals the workings of this discourse and its underlying impact on our social, intellectual, and political lives. He then addresses issues of deep concern to Western readers-Islam and modernity, Islam and violence, and Islam and women-and proposes new ways of thinking about the Western relationship to the Islamic world.________________________ Wednesday, February 8, 201212:30pm - ICC 270 ________________________Jonathan Lyons spent twenty years as a foreign correspondent and editor for Reuters, much of it in the Islamic world. His research focuses on the shifting boundaries between East and West, and his publications include The House of Wisdom: How the Arabs Transformed Western Civilization and (with Geneive Abdo) Answering Only to God: Faith and Freedom in Twenty-first-Century Iran. He has a doctorate in sociology and lives in Washington, D.C. ________________________Seating is limited.For directions to the Center and information on parking, please visit: http://acmcu.georgetown.edu/about/contact/

Thursday, February 9
@ 8:00 am

Uncover deception in this intelligence-based, interactive course designed to significantly enhance objective detection of deception skills. Before QVerity training, most individuals erroneously rely on instinct or hunches to assess truth and deception.
Building upon the skills developed as part of Detection of Deception, the interview now becomes a dynamic response evaluation and exploration process rather than the dreaded “checklist mentality” approach typical of many failed interviews.
