Each bird is perched on an individually carved limestone base to enhance the unique qualities that each bird displays. Heyl’s affinity for nature extends from her art to her love of gardening and the occasional golf game.

They were admired by passionate fans with an insatiable appetite for images of them\, fed by a publishing industry that mass-produced colorful woodblock prints of actors on stage that could be cheaply purchased as souvenirs of or substitutes for a theater experience. Japanese Prints of Kabuki Theater from the Collection of the University of Michigan Museum of Art presents a selection of these dramatic prints that connected fans to their idols\, including off- or backstage portrayals that satisfied fans’ voyeuristic curiosity about their favorite actors’ lives\, fantasy scenes of actors in unlikely groupings\, and even death portraits of especially famous actors. This introduction to the visual culture surrounding kabuki theater includes prints by major artists such as Utagawa Toyokuni (1769–1825)\, Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865)\, Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797–1861)\, and Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900).\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, the William T. and Dora G. Hunter Endowment\, AISIN\, the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation\, and the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies.

For Tibetan Buddhists\, books are a divine presence in which the Buddha lives and reveals himself\, and they are venerated and handled with the utmost respect. The exhibition features 33 book covers dating from the eleventh to the eighteenth century that represent the glorious iconographic array and non-figural decoration typical of these sacred items. The majority of covers in the exhibition are Tibetan Buddhist\, but the exhibition also includes a rare Bon-religion cover and two covers from Mongolia\, as well as an important pair of covers produced circa 1411 for the Chinese Ming emperor Yongle. Protecting Wisdom presents a stunning visual display that illuminates a virtually unknown type of art\, one that will charm and intrigue both those familiar and unfamiliar with Tibetan art.

They favored soft-focus images that drew upon the conventions of important artists and movements of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites\, James McNeill Whistler\, Japonisme\, and Art Nouveau are readily seen in the images on view in this exhibition.\n\nIn 1902 Alfred Stieglitz and other Pictorialist photographers founded the Photo-Secession in New York\, with Camera Work as the flagship periodical that published images by the group. Their poetic compositions drawn from contemporary life\, combined with the use of expensive and labor-intensive printing materials such as platinum and gum bichromate\, established these photographs as complex and nuanced works of high artistic quality. The exhibition features work by the principal Pictorialists\, including Stieglitz\, Steichen\, Käsebier\, Clarence White\, Paul Strand\, and Alvin Langdon Coburn.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment.

Its presence at UMMA today—almost 7\,500 miles away from the context in which it was originally created\, used\, and valued—is the result of a long and tumultuous journey\, spanning a hundred years\, three continents\, and numerous people whose lives are forever connected to the artifact that passed through their hands.\nTraces tells the stories of some of these individuals as it reconstructs the “biography” of the mask. Drawing on the Museum’s African art collection and complemented with national loans\, the exhibition is informed by research that exposes the mask’s many layers and restores some of its historical complexity. Visitors will be able to look closely\, and in great detail\, at this intriguing artwork and its fascinating story.\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the James and Vivian Curtis Endowment.

They must travel to 6 countries in 2 regions over the course of 8 months and are expected to immerse themselves in independent and enriching explorations. Bonderman Fellows engage with cultures\, people\, and areas of the world with which they are not familiar\, providing them the opportunity to develop entirely new perspectives.\n\nUM is one of only two schools—along with the University of Washington—to offer the Bonderman award. David Bonderman traveled internationally as a Sheldon Fellow after graduating from Harvard Law School in the 1960s\, and that experience shaped the rest of his life. He created the Bonderman Travel Fellowship in 1995 to provide students with a similar opportunity. Fellows make their own travel itineraries and\, because this is meant to be an individual experience\, cannot engage in formal study at a foreign university\, conduct formal research\, or travel with a guest or organized group.\n\nPizza and other refreshments will be served at all Bonderman info sessions.\n\nAfter this 30-minute info session in the Union\, advisors will be available for another 30 minutes to answer questions.

Even in the midst of long-term and end-of-life care\, ideal support is not so much about rich emotional sharing as the abandoning of attachment and the attainment of equanimity in the face of tumult. In this talk\, I interrogate the emotional and affective valence of ordinary caregiving situations in Northern Thailand. To do so\, I look to the Tipitaka – the compendium of sermons\, commentaries\, and technical manuals of the Pali canon – as a guide and theoretical frame. With ethnographic material otherwise vexing to a host of analytic perspectives\, the theory of mind the Theravada philosophical lineage presents proves crucial for understanding contemporary subjectivity at Thai bedsides and beyond.

This is an implicit concern of Paul Cobb’s book\, Race for Paradise\, a history of the Crusades from the Muslim perspective. This panel examines the ways in which people come to feel anchored and attached to a location\, whether physically\, legally\, or emotionally. It examines metaphorical and literal rootedness and the ways in which routine and practice become identity. Looking specifically at Carolingian Biblical commentaries\, Spanish-colonial urban lawsuits\, and Islamic precolonial oral histories\, the panelists will discuss the relationships between boundaries\, identity\, work\, and belonging in their research. \n\nPanelists include:\n\nNoah Blan (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\nLamin Manneh (PhD Student\, History\, University of Michigan)\nAna María Silva (PhD Candidate\, History\, University of Michigan)\nPaul M.

Lass (1990\; 1995\; 2004)\, in particular\, makes the claim that SAfE displays a typically ‘Southern’ clear-dark /l/ allophony\, with neutral to palatalized (i.e. generally clear) /l/ in onset position\, but dark /l/ (anything from velarised to pharyngealized) in coda position. This position has become the standard one\, echoed\, for example\, in Bowerman (2004).\n\nThis is\, however\, in contrast to almost all previous pronouncements on the matter. Thus Lanham (1967: 65\; 98) concludes that /l/ in SAfE is clear in all positions\, with Wells (1982: 617) agreeing i.e. that “South African English is not really dark in any environment” but always clear or neutral. Even the recent Trudgill (2004: 79) adopts the same position.\n\nThe research on which this paper is based attempts to clarify the above-mentioned discrepancy i.e. to determine what the status of SAfE /l/ is on the basis of a large sample of recordings as well as modern acoustic phonetic techniques\; but also to discover what the source of the discrepancy might be (barring simple error). In this regard\, it investigates the possibility that SAfE might have undergone sound change with respect to /l/. It does this by drawing on a sample of 44 GenSAfE speakers from Cape Town\, ranging from 18 to 60 years of age\, almost evenly split for gender. Each participant was recorded taking part in a sociolinguistic interview\, subsequently prepared for analysis using the Forced Alignment and Vowel Extraction suite (Rosenfelder\, Fruehwald\, Evanini & Yuan 2011).

I study the pass-through implications of the change in the competition between firms resulting from this gas price shock\, focusing on the heterogeneous impacts of the shock. I use New England electricity auction bidding data and utilize the multi-unit uniform auction model to estimate gas prices implied by firms’ bids\, which allows me to identify the impacts of the shock on the costs of each firm. To understand how differences in impacts affected the competition\, I obtain firm-specific markups and relate them to costs. I find that firms less affected by the shock increase markups more than \"hard-hit\" firms\, and this difference in adjustment increases in the size of the gas price shock. To explore how such heterogeneous incentives for markup adjustment are reflected in price\, I then simulate the pass-through rates at the auction level. Although I find that firms completely passed on the cost shocks to prices on average\, considerable variation exists in the rates depending on which type of firm sets the price in the auction. Therefore\, any estimation of the pass-through rate that fails to incorporate heterogeneity of the underlying rates could yield estimates that are significantly biased downward. I illustrate this by comparing the simulated rates to the estimated ones from the reduced form.

In the finite-dimensional case\, I will describe computer-assisted methods where bounds are proven by constructing nonnegative polynomials with certain properties\, similarly to the way nonlinear stability can be proven by constructing Lyapunov functions. Nonnegativity of polynomials is enforced by requiring them to be representable as sums of squares\, a condition that can be checked using the convex optimization technique of semidefinite programming. Rigorous bounds are obtained by supplementing numerical computations with either interval arithmetic or symbolic computation. These methods are illustrated using the Lorenz equations\, where they produce novel bounds on various average quantities. In the PDE case\, I will describe bounds for fluid dynamical models proven using pencil-and-paper analysis. Differences from the finite-dimensional case will be discussed\, as well as the possibility of improving results for PDEs using computer-assisted methods like those described for the finite-dimensional case.

Moreover\, these dualities find a very satisfying and direct “real-world” application to the physics of topological quantum matter. In this talk\, I will give a more-or-less pedagogical introduction to the subject of low energy dualities and review some of the more recent developments in the field.

Direct determination of the electronic- and surface structure of TMDCs is crucial to the full understanding of their distinctive properties. In particular\, like other atomically thin materials\, the interactions with substrate impact the surface structure and morphology of TMDCs\, and as a result\, their structural and physical properties can be affected. Here\, in this talk\, I will discuss the electronic structure and surface structure of MoS2 investigated using synchrotron-based spectroscopic photoemission and low energy electron microscopy. Thickness-dependent electronic structure of MoS2 measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy directly demonstrates the indirect-to-direct bandgap transition when MoS2 thickness is decreased from multilayer to monolayer. Also\, the thickness-dependent surface roughness is characterized using selected-area low energy electron diffraction (μ-LEED) and the surface structural relaxation is investigated using LEED I-V measurements combined with dynamical LEED calculations. Finally\, bandgap engineering is demonstrated via tuning of the interlayer interactions in van der Waals interfaces by twisting the relative orientation in bilayer-MoS2 and graphene-MoS2-heterostructure systems.

In 1959\, the Pakistani government acceded to the request of the director of the Pakistan Academy of Rural Development to designate the rural areas around Comilla town a “laboratory\,” where “experiments” with various ideas of development and modernization would be conducted. In particular the talk will examine how this rural modernization program conceived Islam both as a barrier and a resource to the aspirations of development. Also discussed will be the methodological challenges of working with the development archive\, especially\, of reading the development archive against the grain to recover subaltern voices.\n\nTariq Ali is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He teaches courses on South Asian history and on the history of global capital. His first book project\, under contract with Princeton University Press and currently awaiting readers reports\, is titled: A Local History of Global Capital: Jute and Economic Life in the Bengal Delta\, 1850s to the 1950s. The book argues that the cultivation and trade of jute connected the Bengal peasantry to the flows and vicissitudes of global flows of capital and commodities and examines the ways in which these market entanglements transformed peasant households’ material lives\, religious and social thought\, and political action.

Cui Zi’en\, 75 min.\, 2004)\nCui Zi’en’s \"Night Scene\" takes on one of the biggest taboos in contemporary China: male street prostitution. The gripping story follows a boy who discovers his father’s homosexuality\, and in the process discovers his own. Night Scene is a unique portrait of a twilight world in parks and clubs that veers between documentary and fiction. Cui mixed real gigolos with actors\, while making no strict distinction between homosexuals and prostitutes. It is an ambiguous\, layered film\, just as boundless as the lives of male prostitutes in China.\n\nAbout the Director\n\nCui Zi’en (崔子恩) is from Harbin and is now living in Florida. He is a director\, film scholar\, screenwriter\, novelist and an pioneering queer activist. He graduated from the Chinese Academy of Social Science and now is an Associate Professor at the Beijing Film Academy. The author of books on criticism and theory\, Cui Zi’en has also published nine novels in China and Hong Kong\, including the first gay novel in modern Chinese literature.

Faced with the judgment of peers\, audience\, conductors\, and worst of all themselves\, these musicians spend years trying to understand and overcome the physical and mental manifestations of their anxiety. Through their stories\, we learn valuable lessons learned over a lifetime of professional performance\; and we find that we are not alone in our quest to overcome the fear of failure and embarrassment. For anyone wanting to feel strength over fear and compassion over judgment\, or simply seeking a closer look at anxiety and what makes us tick\, Composed opens the door to a world of high stakes\, high pressure\, and peak performing.\n\nFollowing the screening a Q&A will be held with the film’s director John Beder\, Julie Nagel (psychoanalyst\, psychologist\, pianist\, and author of \"Melodies of the Mind\")\, Louis Nagel (pianist and Emeritus Professor of Piano and Piano Literature)\, and Emily Hyssong (CAPS Counsellor).

The Canadian-Scots band Enter the Haggis (bagpiper Craig Downie is from Scotland) has just about as much variety in their style\, a high-speed collision of Celtic music\, rock\, bluegrass\, funk\, and world music. An Enter the Haggis live show is a musical feast—dynamic and emotionally uplifting. Alternating between upbeat rock numbers with sing-along choruses and slower\, more introspective alt pop songs\, the band plays progressive and lyrically driven music that’s strongly rooted in Celtic tradition—from the storytelling to the bagpipes. Enter the Haggis returns to The Ark with a 20th-anniversary album that showcases the fabulous variety of their music.
