SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Stories of Mothers Lost
DESCRIPTION:Every minute of every day\, a woman dies of pregnancy related complications. Stories of Mothers Lost\, an exhibit of handmade quilts from around the world now on display in Lane Hall\, memorializes some of these women.\n\nThe exhibit was initiated by the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA)\, a non-profit membership based organization\, whose goal is to reduce rates of maternal and child mortality. The initiative to obtain these stories was made possible by a United Nations Population Fund grant to the WRA. Following a global call\, there was an overwhelming response of 120 panels from 46 organizations. Stories of Mothers Lost -  a collection of internationally sourced\, hand crafted panels commemorating mothers lost – allows families to express grief and also plays a powerful role as a mechanism for advocacy and communication on an issue that transcends country borders and impacts us all.  \n\nStories of Mothers Lost is supplied by the UM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and its Program in Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice. The exhibit is hosted by the Women’s Studies Department and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.\n\nStories of Mothers Lost is in Lane Hall through December 11\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:\"Sonya Clark\" Installation
DESCRIPTION:In \"Sonya Clark\,\" artist and 2014 ArtPrize-winner Sonya Clark exhibits existing and new work which considers the relationship between object and story\, including a new work that incorporates personal stories about hair derived from student engagement at the University of Michigan and from campuses nationwide.\n\nArtist Statement:\n\nI use craft and materials to investigate identity. Simple objects become cultural interfaces. Through them I navigate accord and discord. When trying to unravel complex issues\, I am instinctively drawn to things that connect to my personal narrative as a point of a departure: a comb\, a piece of paper\, or a strand of hair. Charged with agency\, objects have the mysterious ability to reflect or absorb us.  I find my image\, my personal story\, in an object. But it is also the object’s ability to act as a rhizome\, the multiple ways in which it can be discovered or read by a wide audience\, that draws me in. To sustain my practice\, I milk the object\, its potential\, its image\, and its materiality. I manipulate the object in a formal manner to engage the viewer in conversation about collective meaning. Can systematically folded paper effectively use light and shadow in the same manner as an elaborately dyed cloth?  What is the connection between color studies\, combs\, and tapestries?  Can a strand of hair tell a life story? I trust that my stories\, your stories\, our stories are held in the object. In this way\, the everyday “thing” becomes a lens through which we may better see one another.  A visual vocabulary derived from object and image forms a language ranging from the vernacular to the political to the poetic.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Drug Discovery Lecture Series - \"Use of patient-derived neurons and cardiac myocytes to study severe genetic epilepsies\"
DESCRIPTION:Neuronal channelopathies cause various brain disorders including epilepsy\, migraine and ataxia. Despite the development of mouse models\, pathophysiological mechanisms for these disorders are poorly understood. One particularly devastating channelopathy is Dravet Syndrome (DS)\, a severe childhood epileptic encephalopathy with a high risk of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).  DS is typically caused by de novo dominant mutations in SCN1A\, encoding the voltage-gated Na+ channel Nav1.1. Although SUDEP is the most devastating consequence of epilepsy and the leading cause of epilepsy mortality\, astonishingly little is understood about its causes and no biomarkers exist to identify at risk epilepsy patients. Heterologous expression of mutant Nav1.1 channels suggests haploinsufficiency\, raising the question of how loss of sodium channels underlying action potentials produces hyperexcitability. Data from DS mouse models indicate both decreased Na+ current in interneurons\, implicating disinhibition\, and increased Na+ current in pyramidal cells\, implicating hyperexcitability\, depending on genetic background\, brain area\, and animal age. To understand the effects of SCN1A DS mutations in human neurons we derived forebrain-like neurons from two DS subjects by induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) reprogramming of patient fibroblasts and compared them with iPSC-derived neurons from human controls. We found that DS patient-derived neurons have increased Na+ current density in both bipolar- and pyramidal-shaped neurons. Consistent with increased Na+ current\, both putative excitatory and inhibitory patient-derived neurons showed spontaneous bursting and other evidence of hyperexcitability. Our data provided some of the first evidence that epilepsy patient-specific neurons obtained via the iPSC method are useful for modeling epileptic-like hyperactivity. Because NaV1.1 is also expressed in heart\, a compelling idea is that altered sodium currents in DS cardiac myocytes\, in addition to central neurons\, may lead to arrhythmias and contribute to SUDEP. To test this hypothesis\, we used the iPSC method to derive cardiac myocytes from fibroblasts of DS subjects. Our data suggest that a subset of DS subjects shows abnormal cardiac myoycte sodium currents and excitability. In parallel studies of a DS human mutant SCN1A knock-in mouse model\, we observed spontaneous seizures and SUDEP in the mice\, increased ventricular CM sodium current density\, and ventricular arrhythmias at the time of SUDEP. The goal of our work is to provide a greater understanding of the mechanisms of DS and related diseases that may lead to novel therapeutic agents for epilepsy.\n\n<strong>About the Speakers</strong>\nLori Isom\, Ph.D. and Jack Parent\, M.D. are scientific leaders in understanding the role of mutations in ion channels in epilepsy. They are also co-leaders of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke funded “Center Without Walls” that is designed to investigate sudden death in epilepsy (SUDEP)\, the most devastating complication of the disorder.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibit: Women in Science
DESCRIPTION:Colorful comic book graphics in this panel exhibit invite young U-M Museum of Natural History visitors from every background to see themselves working in STEM fields (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics)\, and changing the world.\n\nDeveloped by Ann Marie Macara\, a fifth-year graduate student in the U-M Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\, the exhibit features four women scientists whose work had a major impact in their fields. These women persevered against the odds and are powerful role models who continue to inspire young women to follow in their footsteps in STEM.\n\nMary Anning represents Science for her discoveries of fossils from the Jurassic period. Annie Easley personifies Technology as one of the few African-American computer scientists to work at NASA (then NACA) as a ‘human computer’ and who then developed software for rockets. Sarah Goode stands for Engineering as the first African-American woman to receive a US patent for her invention of the folding cabinet bed. Finally\, Wang Zhenyi exemplifies Mathematics for her mathematical models of astronomical events\, including eclipses. \n  \nThe exhibit was made possible through the support of the U-M Life Sciences Institute\; a MAAS Professional Development Award\; the Program in Biomedical Science\; the Department of Molecular\, Cellular\, and Developmental Biology\; the Women in Science and Engineering Program\; and FEMMES (Females Engaged in More Math\, Engineering and the Sciences).

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition On-View: Opera In Complete
DESCRIPTION:The University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning presents...\"Opera In Complete: The Total Work of Art Dream House\,\" an exhibition by John McMurrough's thesis year graduate studio.\n\nOver the course of December 2015\, participants in the ARCH 672\, \"Opera In Complete\" studio will be using the Taubman College gallery as a sound stage to finish their semester’s work on a design opera entitled \"The Total Work of Art Dream House.\" Loosely based on Adolf Loos' short story \"The Poor Little Rich Man\,\" these projects operate as expressions of design in the space between control and happenstance\, reality and simulation.\n\nEver since the German opera composer Richard Wagner proposed the idea of the total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk)\, architects have been enthralled by the idea. In part such efforts test ideas of materials and assemblage\, but they operate more so to extend the ideal of design and entail a shift of emphasis from the scope of a singular building to encompass a variety of scales (furniture\, landscape\, and even\, in some cases\, clothing). On display (and in use) within the gallery will be the extended field of the students’ production including: diagrams\, drawings\, models\, images\, furnishings\, and videos...all in service of the design of a \"dream house.”  Organized by John McMorrough.\n\nExhibition On-View: November 30 – December 20\n\nAbout University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning:\n\nThe Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan is a leader in interdisciplinary education and research with a focus on creating a more beautiful\, inclusive and better built environment. The college and its alumni are committed to pushing the boundaries of architectural practice\, advancing global engagement\, and significantly enhancing diversity in the profession. The college offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Architecture\, Master of Architecture (currently ranked #6 nationally\; ranked #1 in 2010 by Design Intelligence Report)\, Master of Science in Architecture\, Master of Urban Planning\, Master of Urban Design\, and PhD programs.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Land of Open Graves: Photographs from the Undocumented Migration Project
DESCRIPTION:This pop-up exhibition features Michael Wells' original photographs of Jason De Leon's Undocumented Migration Project\, which was the subject of a 2013 exhibition at the Institute for the Humanities gallery. The photographs were featured in De León's new book The Land of Open Graves Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail.\n\nAbout the book:\n\nIn his gripping and provocative debut\, anthropologist Jason De León sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time—the human consequences of US immigration policy.  The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States.\nJason De León is assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan and director of the Undocumented Migration Project\, a long-term anthropological study of clandestine border crossings between Mexico and the United States. His academic work has been featured in numerous media outlets\, including National Public Radio\, the New York Times Magazine\, Al Jazeera\, The Huffington Post\, and Vice magazine.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:This Too is Iran: A Monts Hall Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:With the fall exhibition season in full swing\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center is proud to present “This\, too\, is Iran\,” a captivating collection of assorted photos by Sally Bjork. Located in Monts Hall\, the exhibition runs from November 20\, 2015 – January 9\, 2016.\n\nIn May 2015\, Sally Bjork\, photographer at the U-M Department of the History of Art’s Visual Resources Collections\, took part in a 16-day tour through major cities and regions of Iran.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Scenes in Fabric
DESCRIPTION:Lenore Crawford uses fabric to express her love of French architecture and flowers. The pieces are inspired by photos she has taken\, and she creates her fiber art with an eye for color and realism using a raw edged fusing technique. Small amounts of fabric paint provide detail and shading. The texture and warmth achieved from the fabric itself lends the work an impressionistic softness. Capturing the beauty of everyday life and her surroundings in fiber is her passion.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Soviet Constructivist Posters
DESCRIPTION:During the 1920s the Soviet Union emerged on the world stage. The first decade was full of hope for a new social order that would reject the values and traditions of Tsarist rule. Centered in Moscow\, a group of young artists\, spearheaded in part by Vladimir (1899-1982) and Georgy Stenberg (1900-1933)\, championed an art that promoted the egalitarian ideals of the New Order and contributed to the growth of the Soviet Union. Known as the Constructivists\, they advocated for utilitarian art that was easily accessible and spoke to the masses. Among their most provocative and visionary works were posters advertising Soviet films.\n\n	UMMA’s exhibition\, Soviet Constructivist Posters: Branding the New Order features a selection of posters by the Stenbergs and other Constructivists for some of early cinema’s most inventive films including\, Sergei Eisenstein’sOctober and Dziga Vertov’s Man with a Movie Camera.\n\n	Using dynamic compositions\, bold colors\, and emblematic images\, these posters announced that the Soviet Union was a progressive nation that could propel society into a utopian future. Their revolutionary aesthetic became associated with the workers’ movement and helped to shape how it was understood both at home and abroad. Though Constructivism went out of favor in the 1930s with the rise of Joseph Stalin (1878–1953)\, Constructivist designs continued to have an influence abroad. Today\, their legacy can be seen in advertisements and other promotional materials made for the public eye.\n\n	Lead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Emerging Democracies and the Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s
DESCRIPTION:Come as You Are: Art of the 1990s\, the first major museum survey to examine the art of this pivotal decade in its historical context\, showcases over 64 works by 46 artists born or practicing in the United States. The exhibition\, whose title references the 1992 Nirvana song (considered by many an anthem for the decade)\, focuses on three principal themes—debates over “identity politics\,” the digital revolution\, and globalization—and explores a range of geopolitical milestones and social issues through the perspective of artists working at that time. The exhibition also illustrates the diverse ways in which the developments of the 1990s redefined contemporary approaches to artistic practice and\, in the words of exhibition curator Alexandra Schwartz\, “writes a history of the ’90s through the lens of the visual arts.”\n\nCome as You Are looks at the dramatic changes in the art world itself\, including the ongoing culture wars\; issues of artistic freedom and censorship\; the impact of new media and the emergence of video\, sound\, and digital art\; the expansion of the global art market\; and the explosion of art fairs and biennials. It also investigates the art world’s increasing heterogeneity as artists of color\, women artists\, and LGBT artists attained increased prominence. Artists include Doug Aitken\, Felix Gonzalez-Torres\, Glenn Ligon\, Julie Mehretu\, Prema Murthy\, Shirin Neshat\, Catherine Opie\, Gabriel Orozco\, Diana Thater\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\, and Kara Walker in a wide range of works including installations\, paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, prints\, photography\, video\, and digital art.\n\nCome as You Are: Art of the 1990s is organized by the Montclair Art Museum and curated by Alexandra Schwartz\, curator of contemporary art\, with Kimberly Siino\, curatorial assistant. This exhibition is made possible with generous support from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the University of Michigan Health System. Additional support is provided by Samantha and Ross Partrich\, Andrea and Joel Brown\, the University of Michigan CEW Frances and Sydney Lewis Visiting Leaders Fund\, Department of the History of Art\, Residential College\, and Department of American Culture.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Art of Tyree Guyton: A Thirty-Year Journey
DESCRIPTION:The Heidelberg Project is one of the largest\, best-known\, and longest-running site-specific art installations in the country. Occupying more than two blocks along Heidelberg Street on Detroit’s East Side\, the project has transformed its neighborhood\, covering abandoned houses\, the street\, and the surrounding area with collections of found objects and vividly rendered paintings.\n\nCelebrating its 30th anniversary in 2016\, the Heidelberg Project has been the life’s work of artist Tyree Guyton. Guyton grew up on Heidelberg Street\, and was encouraged by his housepainter grandfather to choose art as an alternative to drugs and guns. Guyton began the project with his family\, and with the help of neighborhood children\, they gathered discarded objects\, from toys and clothes to televisions and furniture. They painted abandoned houses on the street with bright housepaints and attached objects to the exteriors\, turning them into gigantic assemblage sculptures.\n\nMost of the houses have a defined theme. The Baby Doll House (now destroyed) was covered from roof to foundation with discarded toy dolls in various states of repair. Similarly\, the Clock House has painted renditions of clocks covering its exterior. The project’s lively and unexpected juxtapositions of objects\, words\, colors\, and symbols create a strange and wonderful immersive world.\n\nThe 30-year anniversary of the Heidelberg Project is a moment for Guyton\, and his audience\, to reflect on what his work has meant to the cultural life of Detroit and beyond. Guyton has created two new works specifically for this exhibition\, one in the studio and one in the project. How Much for the City\, a mixed-media sculpture\, makes reference to his long-standing struggles with city government. On Heidelberg Street\, he is building a full-scale house\; it will rise on the foundation of a house destroyed by arson. The process of its construction can be viewed on the Heidelberg Television monitor in the gallery. The Art of Tyree Guyton will explore the artist’s involvement with the project through the decades\, and also feature a selection of prints and drawings from his more recent studio work.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, and Lisa Applebaum. Additional generous support is provided by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and School of Social Work.

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance Master Class Repertory Series: Peter Kalivas\, The PGK Dance Project
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with standing exercises to engage and develop the body center\, students will then practice clearly defined\, efficient movement and approaches. Strongly influenced by classic concepts found in Horton\, Graham\, Ballet\, and Taylor\, the class expands to include challenging extended phrases\, then moves across the floor with jumps and stretches\, and finally choreography encompassing all of the above\, which will be a section from a new solo work Kalivas recently created for one of his dancers titled Ode.\n\n\nEach session features a different guest artist who teaches a masterclass and sections from their repertory—this panorama of the contemporary dance field is presented to broaden the student’s awareness of what career possibilities are out there. The guest artist conducts a 30-minute technique class/warm-up and then teaches repertory that is performed by the class. \n\nIn the final 15-20 minutes faculty coordinator Bill De Young conducts a Q and A interviewing each guest artist about their career and what recommendations they have about the transition from student to professional and what they look for when they audition dancers for their projects

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Hume\, Butler\, and Mandevillian Skepticism
DESCRIPTION:The debate over whether human motivations are fundamentally self-interested or benevolent consumed Shaftesbury\, Mandeville\, and Hutcheson\, but Hume—though explicitly indebted to all three—almost entirely ignores this issue. I argue that his relative silence reveals an overlooked intellectual debt to Bishop Butler\, one which allows Hume to employ Mandevillian claims about virtue without endorsing a Mandevillian skepticism.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Smith Lecture: Is the Universe a Lonely Place? A Plan to Survey our Stellar Neighborhood for Signs of Life
DESCRIPTION:The last 20 years has seen an explosion in the number of known planets beyond our Solar System. Recently\, this has included the discovery of a handful of potentially habitable worlds. However\, to test their habitability\, and search these planets for signs of inhabitance\, we require a mission that is designed - from the ground up - with exoplanet characterization in mind. That characterization will take place via anaylsis of spectra from exoplanets\, which will yield inferences on the composition of and mass fluxes from the planet’s surface. Such a mission would face three sets of challenges in technology\, community dynamics\, and science. In this presentation\, we will discuss how future space-based telescopes can overcome the technical challenges\, how NASA’s Nexus for Exoplanet Systems Science is addressing the community dynamics challenges\, and how we can leverage the resulting community to address the science questions.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and its Legacy: The Perils of Writing the Painful Past
DESCRIPTION:In 1971 nearly 1300 prisoners in upstate New York took over the Attica Correctional Facility demanding better conditions and more humane treatment. Five days later Governor Nelson Rockefeller ordered the forcible retaking of the prison. The result was disastrous. For the last 40 years the State of New York has fought hard to close the book on what happened at Attica by sealing records\, by refusing to charge troopers or COs with the crimes they committed during their brutal retaking of the prison\, and by focusing the media’s attention on prisoner misdeeds. Meanwhile\, the prisoners and some of the COs who also suffered the state’s assault on the prison\, fought just as hard to get their story told. Heather Ann Thompson has also spent the last decade trying to tell this story. She has just completed the first comprehensive history of Attica and its legacy for Pantheon Books (out in September\, 2016) and\, in this talk\, she will share this history as well as the various challenges of writing it.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Linguistics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:This week will feature colloquium presentations by two of our graduate students.\n-----------------\nEffects of Experience in Second-Language Listening: Non-Native Vowel Context Speeds Identification of Non-Native Consonant Categories (Dave Ogden)\n\nIn an exemplar-based model\, effects of linguistic experience in second-language (L2) acquisition are explained as the conspiracy of experienced tokens in reshaping category representations (e.g.\, Wade et al.\, 2010). Such a model predicts that acquisition of a new category boundary is facilitated in phonetic contexts which are highly dissimilar to first-language experience. I present results of an experiment that tested this prediction for English-speaking advanced learners of French\, who must recognize the novel category distinction between lead and short-lag voice onset time for word-initial stops in French\, particularly that the unaspirated stop [p] exemplifies the category /b/ in English but /p/ in French. Learners’ were faster to identify word-initial [p] as French /p/ when it preceded a vowel that occurs in French but not in English. This evidence supports the conclusion that representations of phonological categories are not purely discrete and static\, but include information about experienced tokens in phonetic context. Implications will also be discussed for two important models of L2 speech learning and perception: the Speech Learning Model (Flege\, 2007) and the L2 extension of the Perceptual Assimilation Model (Best & Tyler\, 2007).\n\n---------------\nOvert Movement as a Marker of (Ir)realis in Iquito (Marcus Berger)\n\nThe Iquito language is unique among the world’s languages in that it makes a distinction between realis and irrealis clauses with purely syntactic differences\, without differences in overt morphology. Iquito realis clauses display SVO word order\, while irrealis clauses are characterized by an element appearing between the subject and the verb\, yielding SXV(O) word order\, where X can be a variety of syntactic elements. After providing a formal analysis of the basic syntax of Iquito\, I develop an account in which the distinction between realis and irrealis clauses is a result of the verb raising or failing to raise to T(ense) respectively. I argue that this is due to a feature in T which causes the verb to raise in realis structures\, but not in irrealis. This analysis relates in part to Kempchinsky’s (2009) analysis of the subjunctive in Romance languages\, which follows from subjunctive clauses being a subset of irrealis clauses. Finally\, I investigate variations in word order in embedded clauses based on finiteness\, and show that the same variation in surface word order that is indicative of a realis/irrealis distinction in main clauses also captures a finiteness distinction in embedded clauses.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Michael J. Sandel: Harvard Professor and NYT Author
DESCRIPTION:LSA Honors is pleased to present Michael J. Sandel\, NYT author and Harvard Professor on Friday\, December 11th\, 2015\, at 4:00pm\, in Rackham Auditorium. While this event highlights the summer reading completed by the Class of 2019\, \"What Money Can't Buy\,\" Honors welcomes students of all disciplines and schools across the University of Michigan\, as well as the public.\n\nFrom Sandel's Harvard biography page:\n\nMichael J. Sandel is the Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor of Government at Harvard University\, where he has taught political philosophy since 1980. His recent book\, \"What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets\,\" takes on one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: What should be the role of money and markets in our society?\n\nSandel's writings--on justice\, ethics\, democracy\, and markets--have been translated into 27 languages.  His books include \"Liberalism and the Limits of Justice\" (Cambridge University Press\, 1982\, 2nd edition\, 1998)\, \"Democracy's Discontent\" (Harvard University Press\, 1996)\, \"Public Philosophy: Essays on Morality in Politics\" (Harvard University Press\, 2005)\, and \"The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering\" (Harvard University Press\, 2007)\, and \"Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?\" (Farrar\, Straus and Giroux\, 2009).\n\nSandel’s course \"Justice\,\" which has enrolled over 15\,000 students\, was the first Harvard course to be made freely available online (www.JusticeHarvard.org) and on television\, and has been viewed by millions of people around the world. His other courses include include \"Ethics\, Biotechnology\, and the Future of Human Nature\,\" and \"Ethics\, Economics\, and Law.\"\n\nA recipient of the Harvard-Radcliffe Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Prize\, Sandel has been a visiting professor at the Sorbonne (Paris)\, delivered the Tanner Lectures on Human Values at Oxford University\, and presents an ongoing series for BBC radio called \"The Public Philosopher.\"  In 2010\, China Newsweek named him the \"most influential foreign figure of the year\" in China.\n\nIn the U.S.\, Sandel served on the President's Council on Bioethics (2002-2005)\, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. A graduate of Brandeis University (1975)\, Sandel received his doctorate from Oxford University (D.Phil.\,1981)\, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.\n\nRelated Links: BBC series: “Michael Sandel: The Public Philosopher” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01nmlh2/episodes/downloads)\n\nReith Lectures: Michael Sandel: “A New Citizenship: 2009”\nhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01nmlh2/episodes/downloads
