SUMMARY:Backpacking On The North Country Trail
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining us for a 3-day\, 2-night backpacking trip on the North Country Trail through Lake County. Stay at the Holland cottage\, 11869 S. Old Tower Rd\, Baldwin\, MI 49304\, on the evening of July 1\, or arrive at the cottage on the morning of July 2. We will leave from the cottage located south of Big Star Lake\, on the south end of Lake County\, on the morning of Wednesday\, July 1\, at approximately 8:00 am. We will hike approximately 10 miles each day\, camping each night\, and will end our journey in the area of the Sweetfern Café and Emporium\, 7595 W. 5 Mile Rd\, Irons\, MI 49644\, near Sauble Lake\, in Northern Lake County on the afternoon of Friday\, July 3. This backpacking trip is ideally suited for the novice and beginner backpacker that is in average to good physical shape. This section of the trail covers a variety of terrain with a mix of flat ground and hills. It is mostly through wooded areas of the Manistee National Forest. Those sections of the trail that are through and over wetlands are primarily on elevated walkways and foot bridges so unless it is an extremely wet summer you should be able to keep your feet dry. The trail is marked and easy to follow. You will be with others that have hiked these sections of the trail in previous years. They will be available to provide tips and tricks for a successful journey. The trail has proven to provide an enjoyable time in the woods.

SUMMARY:Mirror Neurons- A Presentation and Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, May 1\, 2020\, 6:15 – 8:00 pm\, our meeting topic will be Mirror Neurons \nDebbie Aliya of Aliya Analytical will be presenting the topic of Mirror Neurons. A mirror neuron is a neuron that fires both when an animal acts and when the animal observes the same action performed by another. The neuron mirrors the behavior of the other\, as though the observer were itself acting. Such neurons have been directly observed in primate species. Has their existence been confirmed in humans? What are the functions of the mirror system(s) in humans? Does mirror neural activity affect or support cognitive functions? Does this system provide the physiological mechanism for perception/action coupling? And\, what does that mean anyway? Can the mirror neuron systems in the human brain help us to understand the actions and intentions of other people? Can mirror neurons actually be the basis of the human capacity of emotions such as empathy? There are many different types of mirror neuron. What are the current scientific discussions about mirror neurons and what are the potentials for understanding the role they play in animals? \nPlease join us for this meeting. \nWe meet at 1438 S Division\, S of Hall Street\, at NE corner of Garden and Division\, north of the railroad tracks. We are in the same building as Conscious Resale. Yes\, you may bring items to donate. Come early if you want to browse the store. Use the front door please. Plenty of parking on Garden St. The Silverline and the regular bus stop are at the next block south on Division. \nAs of 2/11/2020 the plans for food have not been determined. Sometimes Mary provides us with a meal\, other times we go out. Please watch our website for updates or check the meetup app. \n  \nFuture discussion dates and topics: \n(subject to change. Check our website and the Meetup app for updates.) \nStay tuned to our website or to the Meetup app for details on future meetings.

SUMMARY:Perspective: Time\, Space\, Age\, Distance - A Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, April 17\, 2020\, 6:15 – 8:00 pm\, our group discussion topics will be Perspective: Time\, Space\, Age\, and Distance. How old is the universe? How do we know this? How large is the universe? How does the age relate to the size? How long ago was man able to measure the age and size of the universe? How is it possible to make such determinations? As The Distinctions reminds us\, time would not be measured elsewhere in the universe by how long it takes our earth to orbit the sun. How would time be determined in some other solar system? In some other part of the universe? Is there such a thing as universal time? Can time stand still? Or\, does it always march on in one direction? How does speed affect time? Is it possible to understand these concepts\, or are we just not wired to be able to comprehend them? We live within ourselves all of our lives\, barely able to comprehend aging and getting older\, barely able to undr3erstand the 100 years +/- that some of us will live. Is our understanding of time relative to our lifetime and how we perceive it? Or\, are we able to comprehend such amounts of time as a million years? Or a billion years? How about 13.8 billion light years?  What is a light year? How can something described in time actually be used to measure distance? So many concepts to discuss and so little time. We get an hour and 45 minutes of discussion time. Will it be enough?  Come and join the conversation. \nWe meet at 1438 S Division\, S of Hall Street\, at NE corner of Garden and Division\, north of the railroad tracks.
