Students { Off Campus ] Organizations


How can your experience as a student leader in student organization can be transfered into a more reality off - campus organization, or club?



The answer is simple. Here in tompkins county any one who is a resistance of Ithaca - Tompkins county can purchase a D.B.A. Cost = $ 25.00.



None the less, you should take a look at the following:



One: What is your focus? This means you will have to compose a simple statement of what is your organizations scope and purpose.



Two: Find a local sponsor who is willing to act as an advisory compacity. At present I will be promoting this with the Ithaca Downtown Partnership as part of its marketing plan.



Three: Leadership of the organization, term limits, and additional transitition in which the present leadership has found they want to stay in Ithaca and from which they are encourage to develop private businesses. It is this last point in which the entire Students / Scholars Clubs OnLine Network was envisioned for, and nothing else.

Touching Research.




ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., USA (April 8, 2009). There has been much controversy about touching in various cultures. The debate started when US President Barack Obama extended his hand to England's Queen Elizabeth and was further fueled when the First Lady was photographed touching the Queen on the back.Throughout the world the act of touching has cultural meaning.


In Asia it is considered disrespectful to touch an older person on the head, back, or shoulders. Even if the intent is to show respect or to comfort the person the act of touching these areas conveys insult. Touching a business card in many oriental cultures, especially Japan, is the same as touching the individual. Great care should be given to the business card by grasping the card with both hands, admiring it, and then placing it in your pocket closest to your heart. Also remember it is extremely rude to write on the business card, fold it, or to place it in your back pocket.
General TouchingIn the Middle East it is rude to not hold the hand of a friend of the same gender while walking down the street. However it is rude, and could violate local law, to publically hold hands with a friend of the opposite gender. Publically touching in France is normal. It is normal to touch while greeting someone, if you agree with them, or to make a point. The touching is not violent of considered an invasion of personal space as it is expected. In a study done by Jourard (1966) in Paris recorded an average of 110 touches by friends or parents in cafes as compared to 2 touches at coffee shops in Miami. Interestingly observers found that touching in Miami was more aggressive 37 percent of the time. Italy and Greece had high rates of touching while Australia, New Zealand, and England were more aligned with the Miami touch rates. Additional studies in later years found similar results. Mediterranean cultures are also very touching.
Handshakes are not as common as a hug and cheek kiss among people of the same gender. This cultural norm typically is retained by Mediterranean travelers or immigrants. Shaking HandsShaking hands has some cultural implications:In Russia and Poland shaking hands is okay provided it is not done in a doorway or over a threshold. It is considered to be unlucky for both people. Hand shaking should occur before one gets to the door or after they have already entered.In Europe it is considered impolite to shake hands while wearing gloves. Even on the coldest days it is expected the other person is important enough for you to remove your gloves. Fashion gloves worn by women are an exception as these gloves can remain on the woman's hands – however only if the gloves are designed specifically to be worn indoors.In sub-Sahara Africa a handshake typically involves both hands. The right hands clasp while left hands are laid over the right hands during the shake.In most Western cultures, such as the United States it is rude for a man to shake extend his hand to a woman unless she first extends her hand. Although this cultural courtesy is dying it is still expected to be followed in the elite and those in the Builder Generation.Never attempt to shake the hand of a German man if he is with his wife unless you first shake her hand. It is disrespectful and belittling to the woman if you seek to first shake her husband's hand.

Human Rights to Full Discovery



The Central Issue of the 21st Century, as well as inquiry are the Fundemental Human Rights to Full Discovery.

It is the basic definitions, as well as the verbal and written forms of communications, their interrelationship to ones own environment cultural dynamics in the personal development of perceptions, and how within the present dynamics of globalization this is transmitted and the demands this will have on International InterCultural Communications.

Who are the adjudicators in establishing defined terms?

What is the overall impact this will have on personal rights to self - determination?

How in the development of these rights, whether they are legislated into existance, or paid for by additional education of the individual who are the assigned facilitators?

What are the legal constraints in such immediate and direct concerns on further experimentation on recently fertilized human female ovum for example?

All of which calls into further attention ones own cultural heritage, personal faith issues, and what are connections in whether one has the full rights to recieve access to higher education, and ownership of their research as well. This likewise calls basic challenges to the pedagogic mission of each University, College, and Technical educating institution beyond secondary education.

In International relations, more important for the United States and its allies, how the International aid is to be modified, and the realistic focus in confering with the population on the ground what this means to them personally and as a community.

It is this focus and the need to advance its real proposition which demand and informed sector to act as an adovcate; for the principals itself is likewise as important as to defeat the human aging process itself,

In the effort to full investigate the complete environment envelop within life itself, it is the advocacy of fundemental Human Rights to Full Discovery which in the end will create a full life with out aging.

Onward to The Moon


Jeff Taylor, University of Hawaii astronomy professor and science communicator, will give a free, family-friendly, public lecture on "Lunar Settlements, Lunar Science," Sunday, Oct. 12, at Cornell University's Bailey Hall at 7:30 p.m. Bill Nye (Cornell Engineering '77) The Science Guy  will host the evening.


Taylor's lecture is part of the 40th annual meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences conference in Ithaca, Oct. 10-15.


Why do scientists and explorers want to return to the Moon and settle it? Taylor says that lunar settlements will pave the way for a broad human presence on other planetary bodies. In many ways, the Moon is the eighth continent, he explains.


Taylor is the winner of the 2008 Carl Sagan Medal for Excellence in Public Communication in Planetary Science. He has communicated science through children's books, a novel and a series of educational videos. In 1996, he collaborated on a Web site called Planetary Science Research Discoveries - PSRD (http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/) - and in 12 years, he has written 73 articles for PSRD about discoveries on the Moon, planets, planetary satellites, asteroids, comets and astrobiology. The site now gets 80,000 hits a month and its subscriber list includes people from 44 countries.

Ithaca College's Handwerker Gallery To Display Collection Of Inuit Sculpture



"Dancing Bear" (1976) by Paula Saila

“Of the People: Inuit Sculpture from the Collection of May and Fred Widding” will open at Ithaca College’s Handwerker Gallery with a gallery reception on Thursday, Feb. 28, from 5 to 7 p.m. Curated by Ithaca College museology students, the exhibit will run through April 6. All Handwerker events are free and open to the public.
“The Inuit, an indigenous people living in the Canadian Arctic, have a long artistic tradition that archaeological discoveries have shown to reach back thousands of years,” said Cheryl Kramer, gallery director and assistant professor of art history. “Indeed, the long and storied history of the Inuit has been preserved through their pieces.”
In their native dialect Inuktitut, the word Inuit simply means the people, and alludes to their lifestyle both past and present, Kramer added. Despite continuing changes to their culture, Inuit remain the people of the Arctic.
“Though confronted by numerous transformations to their livelihood over the past fifty years, central Inuit values have endured: community, nature, and spirituality—values we see echoed in their artistic expression,” Kramer said.
The exhibition highlights the distinguished collection of Mary and Fred Widding. Pivotal to the development of the Widdings’ collection is their personal relationship with the work. By sharing this collection with the Handwerker Gallery, the Widdings hope that others may discover the same connection.
An illustrated catalogue written by the student curators will accompany the exhibition.
A series of events have been planned in conjunction with the exhibition. More information is available at www.ithaca.edu/handwerker/g/upcoming_events/.
To book tours of the exhibition by student-curators, contact RB Schlather at rschlat1@ithaca.edu or JJ Ignotz at jignotz1@ithaca.edu.
For further information on the exhibition or the Handwerker Gallery, contact Cheryl Kramer, gallery director and assistant professor of art history, at (607) 274-3548.
The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. (Thursday until 9 p.m.); Saturday and Sunday, noon–5 p.m.

Social Revolutions





The term social revolution may have different connotations depending on the write, audience, and age groups.

In the Trotskyist movement, the term "social revolution" refers to an upheaval in which existing property relations are smashed. This spured on the October Revolution in Russia in 1917 and the Cuban Revolution, as both caused capitalist (and in some cases pre-capitalist) property relations to turn into post-capitalist property relations as they operated by plan rather than by market. All of it failed in as much as there was always a conditional connection between personal consensus and market forces And hard as they tried they could not feed their populace.

Today social revolutions are contrasted with an accelerator of a sorts by a technological revolution as well as an over taking and powerful information revolution created by the Internet. Political revolutions are becoming more ethnocentric in their domains in which there has been a slow land grab-possibly the last we will ever know. Governments, or the dominate ethic groups are not necessarily replaced but are divorced.

Once a basic idenity is achieved or altered, but in which both social and cultural relations are predominantly left intact by traditional known human governance, then the state in which controls the territory has survived. Today, and as a result, social revolutions do now, and most dramtically imply the necessity that the personal idenity as a whole has more of a say or control over education and the aspirations of their youth, and are likewise to obtain highly advance technological information portals and supporting goods and services personal goals.

In countries such as Gabon, Africa, this has foster additional national anxiety as education and information about other successful ethnic struggles are likewise revealing a great Internal Exile of one's former ethnic idenity. It was the greater Internal Exile in which the majority of the Russian elite had which caused the rapid collaspe of the former Soviet Union. Confronted with this a social scape or focus is likewise formed. As a result several African as well as Eastern European States can no longer afford using traditional contraols over other ethnic groups and their lives, as several ethnic groupings are slowly denying that their own ethnic idenity to ever is in control, will be no more expropriated.

In this, the traditional rule of both libertarian socialist and anarchistic forms have completely lost their footings. The same is likewise true for Eurocentric social and cultural perceptions over youth, or those who are now under 24 years of age. Teen and young adult parlance, and the accelerated information social revolution is radically bottom-up, as opposed to both traditional education and sociopoliticcal and sociocultural existing vanguard, Thus this social form of revolution is now led by purely techno-informational revolution of the rapid increases in information various forms insourcings trigger by Internet spiders and i now actively triggering human behavioral reorganization of all society.

At one time, a century earlier .. " In the words of Peter Kropotkin, "social revolution means the reorganization of the industrial, economic life of the country and consequently also of the entire structure of society."

However, with William Gates and others in the lead of the Internet Revolution " The keys to power is who is the developer of information content and creating links which matches the focus of ones use of meta taggings. More generally, the term now used to depict social revolution is the resulting outsourcing now affecting human society through massive change in computer hardwear, and more high advanced products of telecommunications, such a cell phones. Soon, and very much the science fiction television tricoder used by the crew of the Star Ship Enterprise is now technically possible within just a few years.

Thus in the view of social revolutions there was the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the American Civil Rights Movement and the 1960 hippie or counterculture.

Now with additional grab for elite bandwidths of both academic information content, and published thesis after the year 1998, and reasearch analysis, the real reformation on religious beliefs, personal identity, freedom of speech, music and arts, fashion, alternative technology or environmentalism has started to decentralised both secondary education and higher education, as well as the popular media. The innovation of the LapTop is very much like the autos used during the 1950 and 60s which created a fire of additional national and International expectations of Americans as a whole.

Presently and possible too late, Islamic thinking, especially under the Shiite school of thought, a social revolution on their sociocultural orthodoxy of how they were created, are now, in the eventual confrontation of this massive globalization of information insourcing [ Which are right now crawling into their own information computer mainframe servers and websites and adding them to their indexs. ] has to be tyrannical and despotic to its people to maintain their radical political ends. In the meantime, those who are under the ages of 26 year s of age and are Arab middle class have already been exposed to the Internet. The resulting reaction caused by the initial underlying concept of an Islamic Revolution, though key concepts that moral freedom is the most important aspect of a human's fundemental needs, cannot condone the affects of its influences on this populace at the sametime. Thus an information cap is implacing an Internal Exile Islamic styled, especially in Iran. What the reaction of this youth sector will become when the sociopolitical processes creates the conditions of social stablization necessary for massive access to the Internet have already been triggered by the resulting needs for emotional liberation, which is historically socioculturally innate within the semitic cultures of this region. Thus the outsourcing of both the context and cultural democratic flow of resulting global scale of information could trigger an Islamic Reformation. If not then a collaspe of Islam itself; this is the present anxiety of " The Radical Islamists, and their drive for controls through impossed self-style political motivated harsh moral codes, along with their personal security anxeities. This philosophy, however, can not regulated the flow of information over the Internet throughout the world, nor into their own homes and children. Key Factor: Over the horizon is the integration of the Internet with satellite telecommunications.
It is for the reason why extremist have already evolving more dramatic computer viruses. This was already successfully used against the Israelis en masse. For those in the West there will be no massive class upheavals but the dramatic changes in the overall perceptual ranges of the emerging society taking benefit from the result of the social revolutions created by the Internet, now is bring about radical forms of cultural democracies to occur within the newer resulting traditions of social intercourse over the Internet.
We all are now in a new age.
