Steve is a fine art photographer\, and Ann is a textile artist. After exhibiting some of Ann’s textile designs inspired by Steve’s photography\, they had the idea to create works that morph a photograph into a textile. One aspect of the process is that it can trick the viewer into questioning what they are seeing and invite them to engage more with the work. Northwood Awakening\, a 25 by 5 foot piece that was the ArtPrize 2015 Public Vote Grand Prize winner\, will be on display.

Cavanagh’s work consists primarily of cut paper and mixed media. Working with these materials allows her to approach her work in much the same way a sculptor does: adding to and cutting away from. Cavanagh finds the artistic process to be deeply meditative. Cavanagh lives and has her studio in a historic home in downtown Rochester\, Michigan.

These images represent an intersection of information as well as ideas of cultural appropriation\, assimilation\, fragmentation and alteration. Crotchett uses wax because it is relevant to both eastern and early western artistic cultures. A professional artist for over 30 years\, Crotchett has exhibited nationally and internationally. She is a professor at Western Michigan University and lives in Kalamazoo\, Michigan.

Potter’s teaching helps with that\, but he also shows his paintings in art fairs\, galleries and even Army barrack walls\, anywhere people enjoy art and laughing out loud. A flightless bird\, his flamingo isn’t deep or subversive\, but it does have a top hat and is riding on the back of a zebra that is standing in a nest powered by a propeller. Nothing unusual for a man who served four tours in the Middle East. Working in his home gallery in Franklin\, Indiana\, he is amused as viewers sometimes see his animals as “above all the B.S.” or “leaving without knowing where [they’re] going.” UID:43032-9696933@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/43032 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Children,Culture,Exhibition,Family,Free,Health & Wellness LOCATION:University Hospitals - Comprehensive Cancer Center, Level 1 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171214T122637 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T200000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Life and Times of Lizzy Bennet DESCRIPTION:As the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s death\, 2017 presents an opportunity to showcase not only significant early editions of Austen’s works held in the Special Collections Library\, but a much broader swath of materials revealing the historical milieu in which she and her characters lived.\n\nThe 1780s-1810s was a tumultuous time period in Britain with effects reaching to the present day\, and we are fortunate to be able to draw on a rich collection of sources that illustrate Austen’s historical moment\, from A Companion to the Ballroom and The Book of Common Prayer to An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species... and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.\n\nThe Library will be closed December 23 to January 1.

Elaborating upon visual references to the art-historical canon of North America\, Hegarty repurposes the ideological tenets of such works into a critical examination of the American legacy.\n\nThe show’s title\, American Berserk\, is borrowed from Philip Roth’s Pulitzer-winning novel American Pastoral\, in which he defines the inverse of the American pastoral ideal as the “indigenous American Berserk.” The show includes a group of ceramic sculptures and a mixed-media site-specific sculpture jutting from the wall. Hegarty’s anarchic\, revisionist take on American history as manifested in the nation’s artistic legacy is embodied in her fantastical works. The sculptures\, which seem imported from a parallel universe\, include watermelons that become animated\, explode and then decay\, sly depictions of George Washington as a series of topiaries\, spectral clipper ships sinking and calcifying into shells\, a branch breaking through the wall and piercing a painting of George Washington making his nose appear to grow and a duo of “fruit face” personae that survey the surreal proceedings.\n\nNote: This grouping of works is an edited restaging of the original show that was initially presented at Burning in Water gallery in New York in 2016.

Hall became the founding director of the Center for Japanese Studies. Just three years earlier\, at the height of the Pacific War\, he was director of something very different: U.S. intelligence operations against Japan. From Kunming\, Hall worked with the Chinese Communist Party to turn captured Japanese soldiers into spies who would infiltrate the Japanese home islands. His office was frequented by a young man named Ho Chi Minh\, who liked to read the Time magazines in the lobby. Ho demanded that Hall recognize his organization\, the Viet Minh\, in its fight against Japan.\n\nMeanwhile\, the Army had turned Ann Arbor into the base of its Japanese language program. In the halls of East Quad\, formerly interned Japanese-Americans were tasked with teaching Japanese to the officers who would oversee the postwar occupation. Every afternoon\, these student-soldiers marched down State Street to commands shouted in Japanese. \n\nA day-long conference\, Spies\, Prisoners\, and Farmers: The Origins of Japanese Studies at Michigan will trace how the twin legacies of Robert B. Hall and the Army Intensive Japanese Language School laid the foundation for the creation of the Center for Japanese Studies and its historic Okayama Field Station.\n\nFree and open to the public.\n\nPresented in partnership with the National Museum of Japanese History and the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics.

The exhibition features images of sleek and poised female models and celebrities destined for the glossy pages of fashion magazines and catalogs by leading photographers such as Edward Steichen\, Philippe Halsman\, Helmut Newton\, Andy Warhol\, and Guy Bourdin. Outside of commercial advertising practice\, documentary photographers Elliott Erwitt\, Joel Meyerowitz\, and Ralph Gibson portray candid images of fashionable women on city streets and mannequins in shop windows\, resulting in intriguing juxtapositions of haute couture and everyday life. And\nartists James Van Der Zee\, Eduardo Paolozzi\, and Nikki S.

Curated by Kelly in 2014\, the exhibition speaks to his admiration for Matisse\, as well as to the centrality of drawing in both artists’ practices. To accompany the forty-five rarely exhibited works by Matisse made in the first half of the 20th century\, which reveal his process and range of creativity as a draftsman\, Kelly selected nine of his own lithographic drawings that derive from his time in France during the 1960s\, when the American artist studied Matisse’s sketches and studies of nature and human figures. Together\, the works by Matisse and Kelly form a thought-provoking\, visually striking artistic dialogue\, allowing viewers to experience one artist through the eyes of another and to immerse themselves in the pleasures of close looking.\n \n\"Matisse Drawings: Curated by Ellsworth Kelly from The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation Collection\" is organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in collaboration with The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.\n\nThis exhibition was made possible by the generous support of the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust and The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation. Additional support provided by the JFM Foundation and Mrs. Donald M.

At their summits were a select few—kings and chiefs whose authority was derived from their direct connection to powerful ancestors and predecessors. These rulers were wrapped in expensive textiles or costly furs\, and covered in beads and precious metals\, materials that not only signaled their extraordinary status\, but were also intended to safely contain the great power they wielded. The famous minkisi (meaning “power figure”) sculptures of Central Africa were similarly activated through the addition of charged materials. Textiles\, animal skin\, metal\, and beads allowed the lifeless wooden carvings to be activated by local spiritual leaders in order to communicate with the realm of the ancestors and spirits. This exhibition explores the parallels between the adornment of the king’s physical body and minkisi. Drawing on works from UMMA’s collection and several loans\, the exhibition demonstrates how authority was expressed and power contained across a range of historical cultures in Nigeria\, Ghana\, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Cameroon.\n\nLead support for Power Contained: The Art of Authority in Central and West Africa is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and the African Studies Center.

Accelerated by gravity to relativistic speeds\, local dark matter scattering against old neutron stars deposits kinetic energy at a rate that heats them to infrared blackbody temperatures. The resulting radiation is detectable by next generation telescopes such as James Webb and the Thirty Meter Telescope. While underground direct detection searches are not (or poorly) sensitive to dark matter with sub-GeV masses\, higher-than-weak-scale masses\, scattering with strong cross-sections\, scattering below neutrino floors\, spin-dependent per-nucleon scattering below per-nuclear cross-sections\, velocity-dependent scattering\, and inelastic scattering for inter-state transitions exceeding O(100 keV)\, the (non-)observation of dark kinetic heating of neutron stars should advance these frontiers by orders of magnitude. Popular dark matter candidates previously suspected elusive\, such as the thermal Higgsino\, may be discovered.

This has led to a stigma around mental health and little meaningful discussion of the significant effects it can have on happiness\, productivity\, and overall health. Recent studies have shown that large fractions of people working at universities are at risk of having ordeveloping mental illness\, and that graduate students are especially susceptible due to the great demands on their time\, high expectations\, and little control over the direction of their work and/or job prospects. In this talk I will present results from some of these studies\, and I will also share my personal journey with mental health struggles. I will conclude with recommendations for what we can do as a community to help break the silence surrounding mental health and make academia a more supportive and inclusive environment. \n\nCo-sponsored by the Department of Astronomy\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nJohanna grew up in Central Pennsylvania\, with a farm field at the end of her street. This meant she was lucky enough to have relatively dark skies\, and found inspiration watching meteor showers ​​in the early morning hours\, although she also enjoyed creek-walking\, writing short stories\, and pretending to be a spy. Johanna got her B.S. degree in Physics in 2008 from American University in Washington\, DC\, and then went to graduate school at the University of Arizona in Tucson\, Arizona\, where she got her Ph.D. in Astronomy in 2014. For the first two years of her Carnegie Origins Postdoctoral Fellowship she lived in Washington\, DC and worked at the Carnegie Department of Terrestrial Magnetism before moving to Pasadena in August 2016 to work at the Carnegie Observatories. In her free time Johanna likes teaching astronomy to others (and learning from them!)\, watching baseball\, and running marathons.

NIF houses 192 beams delivering >1.8 MJ of UV energy and peak powers of 500 TW to a small target (<< cm3). Depositing this energy in a small volume creates extreme radiation environments and large pressures that have been used to create unique conditions for studying matter at high energy densities. High energy density (HED) matter is defined as having pressures > 1\,000\,000 atm. Understanding the behavior of matter at high energy densities is important for our national security\, many astrophysical questions\, and obtaining inertial confinement fusion ignition.

The production of relic neutrinos is within seconds of the inflation and heating processes that imprinted the seeds of future structure formation in the Universe. These early universe relics have cooled under the expansion of the Universe and are sensed indirectly through the action of their diminishing thermal velocities on large-scale structure formation. Experimental advances have opened up new opportunities to directly detect the CNB\, an achievement which would profoundly confront and extend the sensitivity of precision cosmology data. PTOLEMY is a novel method of 2D target surfaces\, fabricated from Graphene\, that has unique directional detection capabilities for MeV dark matter and forms a basis for a future large-scale relic neutrino detector. The discussion of PTOLEMY focusses on experimental challenges\, recent developments and the path forward to discovery sensitivity.\n UID:42554-9611967@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42554 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 340 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171129T093034 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T173000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Hiring Meeting DESCRIPTION:Hiring Meeting UID:46419-10486867@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/46419 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:English Language & Literature LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20170830T124622 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T173000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:International Economics\, Macroeconomics DESCRIPTION:Details to come.

Their acclaimed graphic novel trilogy\, March\, recounts Lewis's experiences throughout the Civil Rights Movement. In protest marches from Selma to Montgomery in 1965\, John Lewis and 600 other marchers drew attention to the importance of voting rights for all African Americans. The marchers were brutally attacked by state troopers on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma\, Alabama.

Wagner Memorial Lecture\, presented by Dr. Kazunori Kataoka\, Innovation Center of NanoMedicine\, Kawasaki Institute of Industrial Promotion\, and Policy Alternatives Research Institute\, The University of Tokyo.\n\nNanotechnology-based medicine (Nanomedicine) has received progressive interest for the treatment of intractable diseases\, such as cancer\, as well as for the non-invasive diagnosis through various imaging modalities. Engineered polymeric nanosystems with smart functions play a key role in nanomedicine as drug carriers\, gene vectors\, and imaging probes. This presentation focuses present status and future trends of self-assembled nanosystems from block copolymers for the therapy and the non-invasive diagnosis of intractable diseases. Nanosystems with 10 to 100 nm in size can be prepared by programmed self-assembly of block copolymers in aqueous entity. Most typical example is polymeric micelles (PMs) with distinctive core-shell architecture. Compared with conventional formulations\, such as liposomes\, PMs have several advantages\, including controlled drug release\, tissue penetrating ability and reduced toxicity [1\,2]. Notable anti-tumor efficacy against intractable and metastatic cancer\, including pancreatic cancer [3]\, glioblastoma [4\,5]\, and cancer stem cells [6]\, of antitumor drug incorporated PMs with pH- and/or redox potential responding properties was demonstrated\, emphasizing their promising utility in cancer treatment. Versatility in drug incorporation is another feasibility of PMs. Loading of imaging reagents makes PMs with theranostic functions [7].\n\nThese results demonstrate the promising features of PMs as platform nanosystems for molecular therapy of various intractable diseases. Very recently\, we developed PMs decorated with glucose to crossing blood-brain barrier by recognizing glucose-transporter overexpressing on brain endothelial cells\, opening new avenue to deliver versatile drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases\, including Alzheimer’s disease [8].\n\nReferences\n[1] H.

In my introduction I equivocate much about “best\,” substituting\, “influential\,” “historical\,” “representative.” In the end\, all that can be said with any certainty is that the list is chronological. In Jill Neate’s preface to Mountaineering Literature she observes\, “A practicable definition of ‘mountaineering book’ continues to eludes me.” In this talk and conversation I will revisit that list\, its methodology (such as it was)\, speculate about what books written since then would be likely candidates and discuss how different these choices might be for me if the list were “personal” rather than “public.” \n\nDavid Stevenson has been the book review editor of the American Alpine Journal since 1995. His fiction collection\, Letters from Chamonix\, won the Banff Mountain Book Award for Fiction and Poetry in 2014. His collected mountaineering essays\, Warnings Against Myself: Meditations on a Life in Climbing was published in 2016 by the University of Washington Press. He received the H. Adams Carter Literary Award from the American Alpine Club in 2017. He holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Utah and works as a professor of English at the University of Alaska Anchorage where he directs the MFA program in creative writing. His home range is the Chugach.

This year\, the program will be taught by Steven Wright\, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.\n\nTo study our intrinsically connected and interdependent food\, energy\, and water (FEW) systems\, one must understand how these systems form an indispensable nexus for human life. Among other benefits\, an understanding of this nexus will help us mitigate and adapt to the challenges of global climate change. Costa Rica\, a leader in sustainable development\, offers many opportunities for hands-on experiences with the FEW nexus\, including a rich combination of learning environments\, working farms\, and laboratories.\n\nThe program is ideal for engineering\, environmental science\, and natural science majors\, however all are encouraged to participate. Students with an interest in system dynamics\, environmental issues\, climate change adaptation\, and other sustainability subjects should apply. While the program has a more technical focus\, discussions will include policy aspects related to environmental management and sustainable development.

It was numerically observed years ago that a good predictor of a team's won-loss percentage is RS^2 / (RS^2 + RA^2)\, though no one knew WHY the formula worked. We review elementary concepts of probability and statistics and discuss how one can build and solve a model for this problem. In the course of investigating this problem we discuss how one attacks problems like this in general (what are the features of a good model\, how to solve it\, and so on). The only pre-requisite is simple calculus (no baseball knowledge is required\, though Red Sox knowledge is always a plus).\n\n\nSponsored by the Department of Mathematics and the UM Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa UID:47040-10776991@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47040 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Mathematics LOCATION:East Hall - 1324 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171129T115645 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20171129T200000 SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:DNA Origami Exhibit Opening Reception DESCRIPTION:The Biophysics department is hosting a special exhibit showcasing images of unusual nanoscopic scale objects designed by students through the Biophysics DNA Origami class- a class offered as part of the LSA Bicentennial themed semester.

Fifth Ave.\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48104)\n\nDuring this 4-session class you will be introduced to the practice of mindfulness and learn several skills\, including meditation\, for managing stress and enriching your life. Mindfulness is about developing the ability to be fully attentive to all the moments of your life\, reducing the amount of time you spend worrying about the future or fretting about the past. An important aspect of mindfulness is developing a non-judgmental\, accepting\, even curious\, attitude about your moment-to-moment experience. The more you develop this attitude\, the less you will feel overwhelmed by changes and challenges in your life.\n\nKoru is designed to introduce you to the practice of mindfulness and get you well on your way to developing this important skill. Like learning any new skill\, it takes practice to get comfortable with mindfulness. We invite you to devote yourself to the study and practice of mindfulness over the next four weeks\, and we challenge you to stay curious about what evolves for you as you persistently and patiently practice living mindfully. We also have a free mobile app to track meditation practices for this course!\n\nRegister today before the seats are filled! \n\nFor any questions\, please contact Hitomi Katsumi at hkat@umich.edu.
