(ATLANTIC BALLROOM 1) REVOLT OF THE DEPLORABLES: THE INSIDE STORY OF THE GREATEST POLITICAL UPSET IN U.S. HISTORY STEVEN ALLEN The 2016 presidential campaign pitted one of the best-credentialed candidates ever to seek the presidency against a shoot-from-the-lip billionaire whose followers considered themselves part of a worldwide populist movement. The outcome was the greatest upset in U.S. political history. What happened? In this presentation, based on his forthcoming book Revolt of the Deplorables, Dr. Steven J. Allen tells the inside story of a grassroots rebellion that changed the course of America and the world. Allen has been called a“digital revolutionary”(the National Journal) and “the Tea Party’s editor in chief”(The Daily Beast/Newsweek) . He served as press secretary to Sen. Jeremiah Denton and senior researcher in Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign. Currently, he is vice president and chief investigative officer of the Capital Research Center in Washington, D.C. A former Membership Officer of Metropolitan Washington Mensa, he coordinated MWM’s Politics SIG for 10 years. 12:00 P.M.

Topics covered will include the development of music theory, vocal performance, the variety of early musical instruments and the origin of dance.

They are the architects of ideas who live primarily in the internal world of concepts and ideas. In a society that values homogeneity of thinking, IN’soften experience covert prejudice and discrimination in education, social situations and in the workplace.(To wit: “You know what’s wrong with you? You think too much!”) In my corporate and private work, I have worked with more than 1,000 Introverted Intuitives. When IN’s see the "map" of their personalities, they report that this information changes their lives for the better. I will also present the similarities and differences between INs and people with Asperger's. 1:30 P.M. (ATLANTIC BALLROOM 3) OZONE BEWARE: A SCIENCE PROJECT AND A FLORIDIAN TEENAGER'S JOURNEY TO EFFECT MELANOMA SATYA ALAGARSAMY As our ozone continues to catastrophically deplete, reported cases of melanoma will likely increase.
