Brought up in a household where money was tight\, she doesn’t like to waste anything and is captivated by old scraps of things with peeling paint and rusty metal – especially broken things that have a story to tell. She usually starts out with an interesting piece of wood and builds on it\, often painting on it and adding collage\, all while developing an emotional connection to it. Working in her quiet Milan\, Michigan backyard art loft “playground\,” she has no message to preach with her work\, just her own personal wish for peace and justice.

This armed conflict between the Shower Posse drug cartel and Jamaica's military and police took place when security forces began searching for drug lord Christopher \"Dudus\" Coke\, after the United States requested his extradition. The violence killed at least 73 civilians.\n\n\"Of 72\" will be in conversation with Patterson's more recent work \"...And Babies...\" created at the Tyler School of Art\, Temple University. The lush tapestry-like floor piece continues where \"Of 72\" leaves us and serves to honor both the spirit and the loss of so many black bodies...women\, little boys\, little girls\, even babies\, subjected to acts of violence and abuse. \n\nEbony G. Patterson is a Jamaican artist born in Kingston\, Jamaica. She studied at Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts and the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis.

This work includes theoretical and numerical developments\, as well as experimental validations.\n\nOn the theoretical front\, aero elastic equations of motions are derived to model a VFA as well as sensor measurements. Two state estimation and reconstruction algorithms are explored\, extracting structural deformation from noisy measurements.\n\nNext\, model predictive control (MPC) is applied to maneuver load alleviation of a representative VFA. Numerical studies are performed and MPC demonstrates both control and state constraints are successfully enforced.\n\nOn the experimental front\, two aero elastic testbed vehicles (ATV-6B and RRV-6B) are constructed. On ATV-6B\, an extensive set of sensors measuring structural\, flight dynamic\, and aerodynamic information is integrated on-board. A new stereo-vision measurement system mounted on the body center tracks high brightness LEDs markers embedded on the wing surface.\n\nFinally\, flight tests are conducted using the RRV-6B to collect aero elastic data. \nSystem identification was applied to the experimental data to obtain VFA characteristics. Finally\, using this identified plant\, a yaw stabilization autopilot was designed and flight tested\, demonstrating significant improvements in handling qualities.\n\nPublications\n\nPang\, Z.

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. Cox.\n\nLead support for the local presentation of this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, and the University of Michigan Ross School of Business and the Department of the History of Art.

Rand considered the designer’s task to be the symbolic communication of a company’s character. This recent acquisition presentation features the poster Rand created as part of IBM’s THINK promotional campaign. The design is a rebus\, or visual puzzle\, wherein Rand cleverly transforms the letters of IBM’s logo into pictures. The whimsical use of symbols encourages viewers to interpret—or think—in order to comprehend the company’s intended message that it values “insight\,” “industriousness\,” and “motivation.” The poster is part of a larger recent gift of archival Paul Rand objects donated to UMMA by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo—professor in the U-M Stamps School of Art and Design and published scholar on Paul Rand—and Maria Phillips.\n\nThis work was recently gifted to UMMA by Maria Phillips and Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo.

On view at UMMA\, \"The Comforter\" presents the likeness of a young girl whose appearance suggests a rare genetic condition causing excessive hair across her face and body. In her lap she tenderly cradles an udder-shaped\, eyeless creature—a possible reference to current experiments in genetically altered milk-producing animals. The encounter staged by the sculpture\, though curious and unexplained\, appears to be one of innocence and intimacy\, and suggests the potential for emotional connection between a diversity of beings. This theme is a common one for Piccinini\, whose work incorporates (often obliquely) ideas and questions about the ethical implications of scientific progress and the conflicts in our culture between the natural and the man-made.\n\nLead support for \"Patricia Piccinini: The Comforter\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

When light is directed at these assemblages\, they project shadows that are exceptionally accurate and intricate representations of other things entirely.\n\n\"The Masterpiece\" (2014) is a shadow self-portrait of the artists created from metal casts of dead vermin they collected and welded together into a ball. From afar the casts appear to be a stunning abstract silver sculpture\; on closer inspection the disturbing menagerie of creatures emerges\, only to change form again—as a shadow on the wall—into a precise and elegant image that is astonishingly different from the objects that create it.\n\nLead support for \"Tim Noble and Sue Webster: The Masterpiece\" is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, the Susan and Richard Gutow Fund\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities. Additional generous support is provided by the Richard and Janet Miller Fund.

DESCRIPTION:Thermodynamics is a remarkably successful theoretical framework\, with wide ranging applications across the natural sciences. Unfortunately\, thermodynamics is limited to equilibrium or near-equilibrium situations\, whereas most of the natural world\, especially life\, operates very far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Without a robust nonequilibrium thermodynamics\, we cannot address a whole host of pressing research questions regarding the energetic requirements to operate outside of equilibrium\, like the energetic cost to form a pattern\, replicate an organism\, or sense an environment\, to name a few. Cutting-edge research in nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics is beginning to shed light on these questions. In this talk\, I will present two such recent predictions. The first is a novel linear-response-like bound that quantifies how dissipation shapes fluctuations far from equilibrium. Besides its intrinsic allure as a universal relation\, I will discuss how it can be used to probe the energetic efficiency of molecular motors\, offer energetic constraints on chemical clocks\, and bound the dissipation in complex materials\, both biological and synthetic\, allowing us to gain insight into the fundamental energetic requirements to operate out of thermodynamic equilibrium. The second is an extended second law of thermodynamics with information that quantifies the precise energetic costs to process information\, which I will apply to the energetic requirements of sensory adaptation in E. coli.

These photographs are inspired by China’s drive for globalization over the last few decades. \n\nPlease join us for the reception and Meet the Artist at 4 pm\, January 24 at the Willis Ward Art Lounge. \n\nAbout WANG Qingsong\n\nAn artist\, educator\, and curator\, WANG Qingsong represents a generation of Chinese cultural producers and creative intellectuals who have exerted a profound influence on contemporary Chinese art practices. Wang’s large format photographic film works have been exhibited around the world at major museums\, art centers\, and galleries\, playing a pivotal role in expanding the international art market for Chinese visual arts.\n\nFormally trained as a painter\, WANG Qingsong now works more like a film director who gathers dozens – sometimes even hundreds – of participants to produce improvisatory works that comment on consumerism\, urbanization and social change. In 2014\, Wang worked with University of Michigan faculty and students to create a large scale installation-photography work\, one that has students perched along a thin stairway spanning the diagonal of a massive chalkboard\, on which names of the top 500 institutions of higher education were written.\n\nIn winter 2018\, Wang Qingsong will stage a new work that would stimulate comparative study of urban renewal efforts in China and the U.S. The work will feature photographic/film images of Detroit’s historical Chinatown and industrial-warehouses areas which have undergone urban renewal since the 1960s.\n\n*Image: The Glory of Hope\, 240x180cm\, 2007\, courtesy of the artist Wang Qingsong UID:48737-11297760@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/48737 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Chinese Studies,Exhibition LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180104T141330 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T170000 SUMMARY:Other:Michigan in Washington Application Deadline-February 23\, 2018 DESCRIPTION:Michigan in Washington application deadline for Fall 2018 and early admission Winter 2019 cohorts.

Inter/Nationalism: Decolonizing Native America and Palestine DESCRIPTION:“The age of transnational humanities has arrived.” According to Steven Salaita\, the seemingly disparate fields of Palestinian Studies and American Indian studies have more in common than one may think. In Inter/Nationalism\, Salaita argues that American Indian and Indigenous studies must be more central to the scholarship and activism focusing on Palestine.\n\nSalaita offers a fascinating inside account of the Boycott\, Divestment\, and Sanctions (BDS) movement—which\, among other things\, aims to end Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land. In doing so\, he emphasizes BDS’s significant potential as an organizing entity as well as its importance in the creation of intellectual and political communities that put Natives and other colonized peoples such as Palestinians into conversation. His discussion includes readings of a wide range of Native poetry that invokes Palestine as a theme or symbol\; the speeches of U.S. President Andrew Jackson and early Zionist thinker Ze’ev Jabotinsky\; and the discourses of “shared values” between the United States and Israel.\n\nInter/Nationalism seeks to lay conceptual ground between American Indian and Indigenous studies and Palestinian studies through concepts of settler colonialism\, indigeneity\, and state violence. By establishing Palestine as an indigenous nation under colonial occupation\, this book draws crucial connections between the scholarship and activism of Indigenous America and Palestine.\n\nSteven Salaita is a former professor\, now a political writer.

The development of nano FETs by various nanowires (NWs)\, and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are still hindered by surface defects and difficulty in controlled synthesis of semiconducting CNTs\, respectively.\n\nApparently\, beyond the box approaches should be explored to overcome the above mentioned limitations. Here we discuss about creation of transistors and electronic switches without semiconductors. Furthermore\, these devices are based on quantum tunneling\, potentially bypass most if not all the above mentioned limitation. Specifically\, we will discuss about room temperature tunneling FETs by metallic quantum dots functionalized boron nitride nanotubes (QDs-BNNTs) [1]. These QDs-BNNTs can also be designed for use in flexible electronics [2]. Finally\, graphene-BNNTs heterojunctions are also created to convert metallic graphene into digital switches [3]. All these results are made possible after the success in controlled synthesis of high-quality BNNTs by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) [4-6].\n\nThis work is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy\, the Office of Basic Energy Sciences (DOE-BES Grants DEFG0206ER46294\, and DESC0012762).

Answering this question has long been fraught with difficulty\, as the association of Judaism with money has been closely intertwined with negative stereotypes of Jews and anti-Semitism. More broadly\, money is often viewed as antithetical to religious values\, which are held up as bulwarks against the pursuit of material gain. In this talk\, we’ll go back to the classical Jewish sources\, including the Mishnah and Talmud (in English translation) – texts from the ancient world that form the foundations of Jewish thought and law to this day. We will examine how the ancient rabbis conceptualized money and wealth\, and learn how archaeological finds from Israel can help us better understand the formulation of rabbinic thought. We will also discuss how the classical rabbis’ view and attitudes have been re-interpreted over time\, and how going back to the original sources can give us innovative ideas and insights into the role of money in Jewish law.\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.

Pulling Apart or Hanging Together: Separatism and Nationalism in Catalonia\, Scotland\, and Northern Italy DESCRIPTION:Western Europe\, the birthplace of the modern nation-state\, is now home to several polities facing threats to their political and territorial integrity. The demands of subnational challengers run the gamut from greater political and/or fiscal autonomy within established states to formal separation and political sovereignty. These challengers have employed a variety of strategies in pursuit of those demands\, including drafting legislation\, organizing mass protests\, and holding referenda. This panel brings together experts on intra-state conflict in Italy\, Spain\, and the United Kingdom. The panelists will explore the sources of grievances by regional actors in the Northern League\, Catalonia\, and Scotland\; examine the nature of their goals and strategies\; and discuss the response of central state actors to these challenges to the status quo. \n \nDario Gaggio\, History \nKali Israel\, History \nFrank Casa\, Romance Languages and Literatures \nModerator: Geneviève Zubrzycki\, Sociology\; Director\, Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia and Center for European Studies UID:47766-11012471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47766 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Democracy,European,History,International,Politics LOCATION:Weiser Hall - 555 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180110T140937 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T161500 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180116T210000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Engineering IA Teaching Orientation DESCRIPTION:New engineering undergraduate instructional aides (IAs) are REQUIRED to attend a teaching orientation.
