We hope someone else fixes it. Or\, we give the offending team member the “stink-eye.” Or\, we just complain to our colleagues about the work habits of our team members. While any of these might make us feel better in the moment\, none of them are actually effective in addressing a team member’s problem behavior. Wouldn’t it be great if you knew exactly how to have that conversation?\n\nYou will learn to:\n\nDiscuss the behavioral differences between job performance and work habits\nDevelop an appreciation as to why dealing with unsatisfactory work habits early\, before they require disciplinary action is the better choice\nExplain clearly and specifically to a team member the nature of his/her unsatisfactory work habits in a way that focuses on behavior rather than personality or attitude\nIdentify ways to involve the team member in the problem-solving process to maintain their self-esteem\nFind ways to gain team member commitment toward a clear plan of action and review progress fairly to increase their accountability\n\nYou will benefit by:\n\nExperiencing a reduction in the stress that often precedes these feedback conversations\nFeeling more comfortable and confident in these interactions\nDeveloping a style and reputation for being a manager who doesn’t look the other way\nIncreasing the productivity and engagement in your work area—yours and your team members’\n\nAudience:\n\nAny manager or supervisor that would like to improve their feedback process for problem behaviors UID:31707-4392943@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/31707 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Career,Leadership,Networking,Professional Development,Workshop LOCATION:Administrative Services Building CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160824T154349 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T123000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Determining Sufficient Sample Size DESCRIPTION:This workshop outlines how to calculate an appropriate sample size (n) to address the objectives of a research project.

Under the guidance of Detroit photographer and photography instructor Bill Rauhauser\, students turned the urban landscape into works of art.\n\nThis exhibition offers a select sample of a vast collection that includes nearly 1\,250 photographs of Detroit\, from churches to construction sites\, grocery stores to warehouses\, hospitals to schools\, and many others. The collection also provides a snapshot of visual symbols of Detroit during 20th century\, including the Michigan Central Train Station\, the J. L. Hudson’s Department Store on Woodward Avenue\, construction of the Renaissance Center and Joe Louis Arena\, and the abandonment of Poletown and the Warehouse District. Photographs also document everyday Detroit\, such as favorite restaurants (Jacoby’s\, Astoria Bakery\, Pegasus Taverna\, Circa 1890 Saloon\, and Sweetwater Tavern)\, families on Belle Isle\, and vendors at Eastern Market.\n\nYou can search the entire Documenting Detroit collection and develop your own primary source sets by visiting: http://detroiths.pastperfect-online.comand search for “Documenting Detroit.” The current exhibit is available during regular Detroit Center hours\, now through November 30\, 2016.

Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine DESCRIPTION:Photography by Ashley Bigham\, 2015-16 Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, U-M\; Watercolors by Grace Mahoney\, doctoral student in Slavic languages and literatures\, U-M.\n\nIn this exhibition\, artists Bigham and Mahoney investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women—embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous\, the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. The current generation of Ukrainian grandmothers survived World War II\, the Holodomor\, and multiple repressions. They are also active in the present—although civic activism is often thought to be the province of the young\, many babusya joined in the actions of Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv and throughout the country. Now they witness the war in Eastern Ukraine. Many of them have lost their homes and some of them have lost their children or grandchildren. The generation called\, “The Children of War” are now seniors of war. \n \nIn addition to their historic significance as a generation\, these women are present in the spheres of daily life throughout the country. Possibly overlooked in society\, these women are vibrant and active in the public spaces of contemporary Ukraine. Working in the open-air bazaars\, resting on public park benches\, or strolling through cemeteries\, these women stake their claim on the urban space—blending\, coalescing\, disappearing. This exhibit endeavors to tell the stories of these grannies. It’s an invitation to look closer\, to see the stories which are written on their faces – they are old and tired\, but not invisible. \n \nAshley Bigham is a lecturer and the 2015-2016 Walter B. Sanders Fellow at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Prior to her appointment at Taubman College\, Ashley was a Fulbright Fellow in Lviv\, Ukraine\, researching and teaching at the Center of Urban History of East Central Europe. Bigham holds a Master of Architecture from Yale University and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Tennessee. \n \nGrace Mahoney is a Ph.D. student in Slavic Languages and Literatures. In 2014-15 she lived in Ukraine on a U.S. Student Fulbright fellowship and interned with the Revolution of Dignity Museum in Kyiv in summer 2016. She has Bachelor's degrees in Visual Art and English Literature from Seattle University. Her work from this show was originally shown in the exhibition Portraits of the Unlost at America House in Kyiv in summer 2015. \n \nAn artists’ talk will be held from 4-5:30 pm on Friday\, September 23 in 1636 SSWB.\n\nExhibition sponsors: Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies\; A.

Local artist and photographer Jane Kramer spent weeks exploring Michigan’s nature preserves and botanical gardens---including Matthaei---taking pictures of the shadows cast by native plant species. The shadow images were then transferred to handmade paper created from invasive plant species. For Kramer the shadows speak to the fragility of threatened plants and their struggle to survive in a changing environment that includes invasive species. The coupling of shadow and paper underscores the complex relationship between invasive and endangered plant species. Free admission. Open Wednesdays until 8 pm.

Her investigations combine architectural research\, material studies\, and art experiments\, a strategy she began as a student that now defines her career.\n\nThe most important element in her formal vocabulary is light\, not only as a “material” in its own right\, but also as a condition. Varying in strength\, form\, and duration\, light constructs architecture as a situational experience rather than a fixed space. Newell’s fascination with light is a fascination with darkness. Through urban interventions\, installations\, and photographs\, she investigates how darkness creates alternate environments\, with unseen geographies\, untold histories\, and secret identities.\n\nNewell\, assistant professor of architecture at U-M Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, is a recent recipient of the Rome Prize in architecture. Overnight includes photographs from her Rome project as well as new photography from the series Nightly\, featuring nighttime images of Detroit streetscapes and interiors\, alongside a site-specific sculptural installation commissioned by the Museum.

His style drew upon numerous international influences\, ranging from the Modernism of Edward Weston and Tina Modotti\, whom he met when they spent time in Mexico in the 1920s\, to the formally exquisite photojournalism of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans\, whose work he knew in New York\, and the Surrealism of André Breton\, who visited Mexico around 1940.\n\nAlthough not strictly Surrealist\, many of Álvarez Bravo’s works manifest a similarly fantastical mood\; one of the artist’s most arresting qualities is his ability to imbue scenes of everyday life with an otherworldly\, metaphysical power. The twenty-three photographs in the exhibition\, drawn from UMMA’s collections\, show the artist’s ability to synthesize a personal—even nationalistic—style that merged the motifs of Mexican religious and indigenous works and plant forms (such as agave leaves) with a Modernist approach to image making. Throughout\, the presence of light as a wondrous metaphor and revealer of life animates even the emptiest and most silent of Álvarez Bravo’s scenes.\n\n**Special hours Sundays: 12–5pm\, CLOSED Mondays UID:30043-3321473@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30043 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Museum,UMMA,Visual Arts LOCATION:Museum of Art - Photography Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160706T154352 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Mira Henry: The View Inside DESCRIPTION:Before joining the faculty of the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles\, Mira Henry spent several years as a project architect\, immersed in the everyday\, banal details of how buildings get built: construction drawings\, material specs\, and building codes. She became an expert in seeing the world the way an architect sees it. But as a progressive architectural thinker\, Henry’s inspiration has been to deconstruct that vision\, to “unsee” the very forms and representations that constitute an architect’s basic language.\n\nThrough speculative experiments and conceptual drawings Henry discovers in static architectural details an unsettling range of figurative expression\, including\, for example\, the way the profiles of roof eaves resemble human heads. Wallpaper\, with its ability to mask\, transform\, or animate a space\, is also a prominent element in her work. Her projects explore how these features animate our subjective experience—what she calls our “shifting fantasies”—of architectural space.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

In this study\, I firstly use regression discontinuity methods to show that a large fraction of urban male heads of households in Brazil (roughly 45%) react contemporaneously to pension eligibility by retiring. Because retirement is not required to receive the pension and because the return to working does not change discontinuously at the eligibility cutoff\, workers should not react contemporaneously unless optimization frictions\, such as credit constraints\, are at work. Secondly\, I show that those in demographic groups more likely to be credit constrained are more reactive to pension eligibility. Thirdly\, I develop a model of retirement decisions that explores how pensions in the face of credit constraints can influence such decisions\, and I use this model to estimate bounds for the welfare costs these credit constraints may be imposing through the disutility of workers supplying excess labor.

Whenever agents can adapt their behavior to achieve competitive advantage\, especially by subverting the operating rules of the system itself\, cheating and other destructive behaviors often emerge. For example\, viruses and cancer exploit the reproductive mechanisms of host cells to replicate and spread\; bullies use intimidation to exert power\, violating social norms\; investors are duped by numerous schemes to manipulate financial markets\; and cybercriminals exploit software vulnerabilities\, eroding trust in networked systems. Studying the general principles that complex systems use to manage such threats can suggest techniques for tackling the problem of cyber security. The talk will highlight research that studies how ideas from biological defense systems have been applied to solve cybersecurity problems. It will also discuss how using the tools of complexity science to understand today's technological networks and their linkages to human behavior\, social norms\, and economic incentives can help us address the global scale of today's many cybersecurity problems.

DESCRIPTION:Ever since the onset of the global financial crisis in 2008\, China's continuous rapid growth has led many to see the Chinese model as a viable alternative to neoliberal development. But in fact\, rather than constituting a progressive alternative to neoliberalism\, China's stellar economic growth was a core part of the global neoliberal order and part of the global imbalance leading to the crisis. China's apparent success in weathering the global financial crisis was grounded on an investment spree which is unsustainable and has started to create an economic crisis in China. China’s shift in growth model is necessary\, but is also full of challenges and perils.\n\nHo-fung Hung is the Henry M. and Elizabeth P.

These experiments claimed 12-15% rain enhancement in the catchment area of the Sea of Galilee\, around 20-25 km downwind of the seeding line. However\, the seeding efficiency has been debated\, and several studies have challenged this claim [Gagin\, 1975\; Gagin and Neumann\, 1981\; Rangno and Hobbs\, 1995\; Levi and Rosenfeld\, 1996\; Levin et al.\, 2010]. This prompted the fourth seeding experiment (\"Israel-4\")\, which is still ongoing. As part of Israel-4 experiment\, we sampled precipitation in northern Israel for chemical analysis in order to obtain information on the aerosols' load in air masses. This data was combined with information on cloud properties retrieved from the METEOSAT geostationary satellite. Seeding effect was examined by comparing cloud properties (cloud top phase (CTP) and cloud top temperature (CTT) and by comparing Ag concentrations and enrichments between seeded and unseeded clouds. This comparison was done for different air masses detected by the method detailed in Zipori et al [2015]. Our results show that AgI reached the target area\, as Ag/Al and Ag/Na values were higher in seeded rain samples\, especially in samples collected during marine air masses relative to unseeded rain. In addition\, our results show that AgI has the strongest impact on marine clouds probably because these clouds have low ice nuclei concentrations. This work provides a physical evidence for the seeding impact\, and should help sorting out the ongoing debate on this subject.

It suggests that in spite of significant changes\, secular Israelis continue to be engaged with the Hebrew Bible\, though their interest may take different\, and at times contested\, directions.\n\nYael Zerubavel is the Director of the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life and Professor of Jewish Studies and History at Rutgers\, the State University of New Jersey. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania\, and in 1988 joined its faculty at the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. In 1996\, she was recruited by Rutgers University to found the Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life and create a new department of Jewish Studies\, which she chaired until 2005. \n\nProfessor Zerubavel has published extensively in the area of collective memory and identity\, national myths\, cultural representations of war and trauma\, and space and symbolic landscapes. Her book Recovered Roots: Collective Memory and the Making of Israeli National Tradition (University of Chicago Press\, 1995) won the 1996 Salo Baron Prize of the American Academy for Jewish Research. She is currently completing her book manuscript Desert in the Promised Land: Nationalism\, Politics\, and Symbolic Landscapes\, and is working on another book project on Biblical Reenactments: The Performance of Antiquity in Modern Israeli Culture. Her most recent journal article\, “Numerical Commemoration and the Challenges of Collective Remembrance in Israel\,” has been published in History and Memory 26\, 1 (Spring/Summer 2014). \n\nProfessor Zerubavel has been a frequent speaker in international conferences on collective memory\, nationalism\, and Israeli society and culture. She is on the editorial board of major journal in the field of Israel Studies and has been a Fellow at the Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania\, the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris\, the Institute for Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem\, and is currently a Fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor.\n\nIf you have a disability that requires a reasonable accommodation\, contact the Judaic Studies office at 734-763-9047 at least two weeks prior to the event.

Two accelerating beam trajectories were generated within the glass and imaged onto a CCD\; close agreement is shown with theory. The simplicity and compactness of the proposed planar-optics approach to generating accelerating beams opens new opportunities in the realization of accelerating beams and related devices for advanced manipulation of light.\n2) Coherent control of quantum dots has been intensively investigated for fundamental interest in physics as well as potential applications. While there are a lot of advantages for using an ensemble of quantum dots\, most of studies have been conducted by using single quantum dots due to the technical difficulties. In this talk\, I will discuss the experimental demonstration which clearly reveals coherent evolution in the exciton/biexciton system in an InAs self-assmebled quatum dot ensemble [1]. I will first talk about the experimental technique\, the pre-pulse two-dimensional spectroscopy\, used to observe the coherent evolution in the ensemble system. I will then talk about the experimental results revealing coherent manipulation of exciton and biexciton population by the pre-pulse. Lastly\, I will discuss the detuning and trions’ effects\, which two dimensional coherent spectroscopy can successfully elucidate. \n\n[1] Takeshi Suzuki\, Rohan Singh\, Manfred Beyer\, Arne Ludwig\, Andreas D.

Techniques to improve the substrate scope and alter the selectivity of natural enzymes are now well established\, and examples in which enzymes are used to catalyze synthetically useful\, non-native reactions are appearing with increasing frequency. This trend of using proteins to control chemical reactivity has been further extended through the development of artificial metalloenzymes\, hybrid catalysts comprised of synthetic cofactors linked to protein scaffolds. I will discuss efforts by my group aimed at engineering natural enzymes and artificial metalloenzymes for selective C-H bond functionalization and other challenging transformations. The examples presented will highlight the potential for molecular recognition and evolution to enable new methods and strategies for organic synthesis.\nJared Lewis\, University of Chicago\n Engineering Proteins for Selective Catalysis UID:30413-3452059@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/30413 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Chemistry,Science LOCATION:Chemistry Dow Lab - Chem 1640 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20160920T112030 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20160920T173000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:II Round Table DESCRIPTION:This event will be livestreamed.

How do literature and politics intersect? What role do both transnationalism and nation play in the self-understanding of authors\, in the ways that literature circulates? How does contemporary German literature cross boundaries of genre - between prose and poetry\, narrative and performance\, fiction and documentation\, literary text and film script? And how do these authors approach their own work: how\, in other words\, do they write? \n\nProfessors Kristin Dickinson (German) and Johannes von Moltke (German/SAC) will moderate. Readings will be in German\, with text available in English translation. The discussion will be in English.\n\nSelim Özdogan is the 2016 Max Kade Visiting Author at the University of Michigan. He is a bilingual author of Turkish heritage. His first novel was published in 1995\, and he has since then published 10 novels and 4 short story collections. His most recent book Wieso Heimat\, ich wohne zur Miete (Who Said Home\, I’m Only Renting) follows its protagonist Krishna Mustafa from Freiburg\, Germany to Istanbul\, where he hopes to discover his roots but ends up amid the protests against Erdogan at Gezi Park. Özdogan has received numerous awards and fellowships\, including the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize (1999). He also works as a columnist for the newspaper Zeit Online.\n\nKerstin Hensel is a renowned German author who works across a vast array of genres. Though she returns most often to lyric poetry\, she has penned radio features and operas\, screenplays\, short stories\, novels\, plays and children’s stories. Hensel grew up and studied in the former GDR\, and has held teaching appointments at the film academy in Potsdam\, the German Institute for Literature in Leipzig\, and currently at the Hochschule für Schauspielkunst (Acting Academy) “Ernst Busch” in Berlin\, where she teaches poetry. Hensel is the recipient of the Anna-Seghers prize\, the Lessing Prize\, and the Walter-Bauer prize in literature\, and of a fellowship at the Villa Massimo in Rome. She is a member of the Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts)\, whose Literature Section she co-directs with Ulrich Peltzer. \n\nUlrich Peltzer is the author of numerous books and two screenplays. His novel Bryant Park creates a vivid montage of New York City in the tradition of Dos Passos but under the impression of 9/11. His most recent novel\, Das bessere Leben (The Better Life) continues to elaborate Peltzer’s vivid\, hard-driving style as it explores the world of finance capital against the backdrop of terror and utopia. Winner of the Heinrich-Böll\, Marieluise-Fleißer\, and Peter-Weiss prizes\, among many others\, Peltzer is a member of the Akademie der Künste (Academy of Arts)\, whose Literature Section he co-directs with Kerstin Hensel.

I will discuss some new work in this area\, namely Lie algebras and algebraic groups over S\, their representations\, and some aspects of Harish-Chandra theory. The specific concepts treated are guided by constructing a knot invariant called sl_k Khovanov homotopy type at a prime large relative to k. I will discuss the history of what led to this problem\, and the current version of its solution.

Hunter\, Henry A. Gleason Collegiate Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Inaugural Lecture DESCRIPTION:Biologists have become increasingly interested in understanding the links between population processes and ecosystem processes. Ecological interactions\, and the evolutionary changes that they mediate\, have important effects on the transfer of energy and the cycling of matter at ecosystem scales. Simultaneously\, ecosystem processes provide the energy and materials by which ecological and evolutionary change takes place. Elucidating the mechanisms by which population and ecosystem processes are linked is fundamental to our ability to understand and manage judiciously Earth’s ecosystems. In this talk\, I introduce the concept of the “phytochemical landscape\,” and suggest that it provides the nexus through which population process and ecosystem processes are linked. The phytochemical landscape is based on the dazzling array of primary and secondary metabolites synthesized by the primary producers (e.g. land plants\, algae\, bacteria) of our aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Because the phytochemical landscape is both a cause and a consequence of variation in trophic interactions and nutrient dynamics\, it serves as the nexus through which powerful feedback loops link population and ecosystem processes.

He's a champion yodeler\, a wit to match the standup world's best\, a guitarist with a unique style (a southpaw\, he plays a right-handed guitar upside down)\, and a musician with a gift for instantly memorable tunes that are liable to turn into singalongs at any time. Says Nanci Griffith (for whom Staines's \"Roseville Fair\" has been a longtime staple): \"Bill Staines has been my hero since 1977. He carries on where Woody left off—carrying on the tradition of stories and characters you wish you knew.\" UID:29771-3203002@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/29771 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,The Ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.
