The American Civil WarWhat led to the outbreak of the bloodiest conflict in the history of North America? The United States was destined to have the greatest bloodbath in the country’s history due to the political, social, and cultural issues and attitudes that drove a wedge between America’s North and South. The seeds for this conflict began at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and for the next seventy years, two separate cultures tried to survive and co-exist under one flag and one government as one nation. The United States, under a new form of government, was an experiment that was untested and with such differences, could not bear the pressures of two different cultures that came to be the North and the South. The country tried to co-exist, but it took a war that tested the soul of the country to unite. Take a trip into the past with your instructor, Terry Newton, who will lead you on a journey from Philadelphia to the opening shots in Charleston as we examine the causes, issues and events that lead to the Civil War. Mondays • 4/22–4/29 • 2-4pm • $25 (member) $40 (non-member) • HSTY CB004-53 • Terry Newton • Rm: LT-304

Introduction to the Science of Human Energy NEW!Energy is all around us! In this day and age of man-made turmoil it’s easy to sink into the general negative aura of the world. We feel more depressed, anxious, frustrated and even angrier than we used to and we are more susceptible to chronic conditions and illness as a result. Because we see the world from a physical perspective, we often don’t notice what’s right in front of us — that our spirit, thoughts, emotions, and body are all made of energy. In fact, each of us has a personal vibration that accurately communicates who we are to the world and helps shape our reality. In the practice portion, you will play and explore the many ways you actually feel energy. You will learn how to energy test to see what might be “off ” so that you can turn the energy back “on” to live radiantly in all aspects of your life. Join us for this fun and interactive class–you

Windows Computer File Management It seems so basic, but most of us don’t really know how to take advantage of the benefits of skillful computer file

management. Join us to learn all aspects of Windows file management and how to organize your computer so you can always find everything you need, when you need it. We’ll cover file naming conventions, types of files, where they’re stored, folder structure, Windows Libraries, backing up files and where to save them. Plus, we’ll share tips for what to do if you can’t open up a file, temp files, converting files from one format to another, how to sync files and how to save files off the Internet in a format you can use. You’ll leave with access to software and instruction manuals you can use at home.Tuesday • 5/21 • 6-8pm • $20 (member) $25 (non-member) • COMP CX002-02 • Randy Dirks • Rm: O-104
