This document summarizes research exploring touchless interactions with distant displays from an embodied interaction perspective. It notes that touchless interactions lack haptic feedback and a 3D worldview, unlike natural gestural interactions. Preliminary findings suggest that Gestalt principles like proximity, similarity and Prägnanz can influence touchless experiences. The research aims to identify how Gestalt principles impact the user experience and design improved touchless techniques for information visualizations using large displays.
This document outlines the key concepts and skills of critical reading taught in an introductory critical reading course.

Kuwait has complained about the lack of ratification and is no longer willing to fund Zimbabwe through the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development as a result.
“Light is better.” Not only long-distance runners swear by this formula for success. This brief formula for success has been defining activities in the mobility sector for some time as well. After all, “light is better” also applies to cars and airplanes.
Lightweight construction is an important trend for the future – and especially in the automobile industry, a crucial aspect of sweeping change which is currently faced by this sector. Not to mention that the weight of new vehicles has increased ever more quickly over the past decades due to greater vehicle comfort and higher safety standards as well as better and better equipment. New drive system concepts such as electromobility are going to further aggravate this trend – for example due to heavy on-board batteries.

This document summarizes a presentation about using a structured approach called the "BBP technique" to reduce information overload in PowerPoint presentations. The BBP technique involves using a three-act story structure, a unifying motif, headlines instead of bullet points, visual and auditory balance, and placing details in notes pages instead of slides. It also recommends sketching the presentation visually, writing narration, applying graphics, and rehearsing. The goal is to engage audiences more effectively and help them retain information by addressing limitations in working memory.

Democracy & Philanthropy: The Rockefeller Foundation and the American ExperimentThe Rockefeller Foundation
Many argued in 1913 that Rockefeller wealth seemed poised to undermine the democratic character of American institutions. Under the shadow of public concern, the trustees of The Rockefeller Foundation launched programs to strengthen American political institutions, promote equal opportunity in a plural society and reinforce a shared sense of national identity. The relationship between democracy and philanthropy has been constantly tested over the last century. Democracy & Philanthropy: The Rockefeller Foundation and the American Experiment offers insights and anecdotes to guide the next generation of American philanthropists.
Going Beyond What Movements are ‘Against’ to What They are ‘For’
Freedom Dreams Freedom Now asks the following questions: What language
do we have that reflects the kind of world we want to live in? Is there a rubric
under which “a” movement can rally today? What are the components of a
shared analysis of this moment, what is needed, what is possible and how?
What are new slogans, texts, terms that help us forge a collective analysis?
What are the freedom dreams of this generation of activists?
Freedom Dreams Freedom Now is an intergenerational gathering of scholars,
artists and activists commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Freedom Summer
1964 and mapping the landscape of contemporary social justice work.
We will engage in political and analytical quilting to connect different debates,
communities and movements.

The Creation Museum as
Engaged Orthodoxy
5
Articles in popular media outlets have not only raised awareness about the
$27 million Creation Museum, but such press coverage has also imbued the
venue with important symbolic value. In a sense, the museum functions as a
kind of shorthand—a codeword for conservative Christianity or an emblem
of political divisions within U.S. culture and politics generally.1 Like the
“Great Passion Play” and the other Sacred Projects in Eureka Springs, the
Creation Museum constructs a cultural paradigm fueled by notions of em
battled Christianity and then supplies visitors with a resonant, comforting
encounter that validates their position within that paradigm.
The great majority of articles appeared when the museum opened in
May 2007, but more recent pieces, such as a 2010 piece in Vanity Fair, testify
to people’s ongoing curiosity about the venue.2 In my own experience, the
Creation Museum prompts more questions from friends and colleagues than
any of the other venues I examine in this book. It is not simply the museum’s
antievolution message that fascinates people. Even more compelling is how
the Creation Museum actually conveys that message. By coupling the physi
cal form of a traditional natural history museum with a radical community- •
based agenda, the Creation Museum empowers and gives public voice to a
community that perceives itself as threatened, disenfranchised, and misreP'
resented by mainstream culture. Using performative tactics, the Creation
Museum appropriates both scientific evidence and the natural history mu
seum encounter for the creationist agenda, while simultaneously align111-1’

probably must—employ the kinds of "discriminatory elements” that John
pletcher suggests are “necessarily present in any expression of coinmuni-
ly."' However, because the museum’s performance relies in great part on the
premise that the exhibits simply give visitors “the freedom to see what they
want to see,'"' museum employees refract any allegations of discrimination
back onto traditional natural history museums, most of which "proclaim
an evolutionary, humanistic worldview.", For creationist-visitors who ap
proach the Creation Museum believing that “secularized" science's evolu
tionary narrative has misled and corrupted society, encounters with the mu
seum's space provide them with religiously real re-experiences that supply
feelings of stability and certainty, as well as strategies for sustaining—and
perhaps enhancing—those feelings in their daily lives. By allowing visitors

The document discusses the history and mission of the Studio Museum in Harlem. It was founded in the 1960s by a group of artists, philanthropists, and civic leaders to create a new kind of museum that was responsive to its creative community. The museum's mission is to showcase and support artists of African descent locally, nationally, and internationally inspired by black culture. It also serves as a site for dynamic discussions about art and society. The museum is expanding its facilities with a new building designed to better suit its programming and remain in Harlem. The rest of the document poses questions for how the museum can better serve as an active citizen and collaborator within its community.

"To break their spirit," is always the instantaneous answer.
Museums, historic sites, and other institutions of memory, I
would contend, are the tangible evidence of the spirit of a
civilized society. And while the proponents of museums have
long asserted that museums add to the quality of life, they have
not understood (as the graduate students did when confronted
by the example of war) how profound and even central that
"quality" was.
Similar examples reveal the relationship between museums
and "spirit" in sharp detail. Why did the Russians proclaim,
one day after the Russian r?volution had succeeded, that all
historic monuments were to be protected even though they
most often represented the hated czar and the church? Why did
Hitler and Stalin establish lists of acceptable and unacceptable

NOW OPEN: THE CENTER FOR CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA
Crowds gathered in Atlanta to celebrate historic opening;
choir led moving performance of “We Shall Overcome.”
Atlanta – June 24, 2014 - Yesterday marked a historic day of firsts in Atlanta, Ga. with the opening of the
Center for Civil and Human Rights, the city’s first civil rights museum and one of the nation’s only global
human rights museums. Serving as a connector between past and present, The Center’s powerful stories
of individuals who shaped the American Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and the modern
human rights movement invite visitors to reflect on how they can create a better tomorrow.
Consistent with The Center’s mission to
empower people to take the protection of every human's rights
personally,
its public opening celebration honored the past and looked toward the future. The crowd of
nearly 1,000 included civil rights icons such as U.S. Congressman John Lewis, several Freedom Riders
and human rights activists Alina Diaz, Mark Johnson and others. The multi-generational gathering
represented the growing diversity of the Southeastern states. This audience became a part of history
when they walked through the doors of The Center on opening day.
When The Center’s CEO and president Doug Shipman welcomed the crowd by inviting civil and human
rights champions to stand up, more than two dozen people rose to their feet. “We will honor your stories
every day in this Center. The Center reflects the way people and movements today are shaping what’s
happening around the world. Those working for freedom today use the Civil Rights Movement as a
roadmap and look to Atlanta as an example, but The Center is truly about tomorrow,” said Shipman. “At
the end of the day, The Center will be measured by the people who will change the trajectory of their lives
– and the lives of others – to become the next Gandhi, the next King, the next Mandela that the world
needs today.”
Former Atlanta Mayor and National Center for Civil and Human Rights Board Chair Shirley Franklin
expressed The Center’s importance to her by sharing a personal story of her life as a young adult. “When
I went to college in 1963, I couldn’t be mayor. It just wasn’t possible.” Franklin shared. “In my lifetime, I
have seen change and it is my role – my responsibility – to do whatever I can to make sure that everyone
living and breathing in the world has the right to pursue their dreams and aspirations.”
The ceremony included moving performances by a 100-person cross-city choir who sang gospel hymns
and “freedom” songs made famous during the Civil Rights era. One of the day’s most powerful moments
occurred when the choir performed “We Shall Overcome” and the entire crowd crossed their arms, joined
hands and swayed to the anthem, with Bernice King leading the movement from the front row.
John Lewis received a standing ovation as he shared his passion for the City of Atlanta and the history
that happened here. He also spoke of The Center’s mission to share these movements with a new
generation, saying, “A few days ago I had the opportunity to walk through portions of this museum. It
reminded me of something Daddy King used to say when he would hear his son preach on Sunday
mornings. He used to say, ‘Make it plain, son. Make it plain.’ This museum makes it plain. It tells the story
of what happened and how it happened – not just for those who are living, but for generations yet
unborn.”

Others speakers included Johnny Isakson, U.S. Senator, Ga., Kasim Reed, Mayor, City of Atlanta and
Lisa Borders, Chair, The Coca-Cola Foundation.

The Center Experience
Designed with multimedia displays, compelling artifacts and interactive activities, The Center’s exhibitions
are created to empower people to take the protection of every human’s rights personally. The Center was
designed by architect Philip Freelon in partnership with HOK; George C. Wolfe served as The Center’s
chief creative officer for the civil rights gallery; Jill Savitt curated The Center’s human rights gallery; and
David Rockwell and Rockwell Group served as The Center’s exhibition designer. The Center is located in
the heart of downtown Atlanta, adjacent to the World of Coca-Cola and the Georgia Aquarium. The
43,000-square-foot facility houses four primary exhibitions:
• “Voice to the Voiceless: The Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection” Gallery
presents a rare collection of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s personal papers and items.
• “Rolls Down Like Water: The American Civil Rights Movement” Gallery created by George C.
Wolfe is comprised of a series of eight sequential exhibitions that bring to life the defining
moments of the modern American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
• “Spark of Conviction: The Global Human Rights Movement” Gallery designed by Jill Savitt
illuminates both individual and global human rights issues. The exhibition is designed to allow
visitors to experience a personal connection to individuals who are taking a stand in the
contemporary fight for human rights.
• A fourth temporary exhibition space features an inaugural-year exhibit celebrating selected works
from “John Lewis Series” by Georgia artist Benny Andrews (American, 1930-2006): this powerful,
iconic series of paintings depicts scenes from the life of John Lewis.
The Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with closures on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. Adult
tickets are $15 and child (ages 3–12) tickets are $10. Group rates are also available. Memberships start
