She is passionate about painting plein air (outdoors) whenever possible\, as she feels the direct observation from life is the best teacher to truly see the subtleties of light and color in nature. Working on sanded paper\, her process begins with a pastel and alcohol/mineral spirits under-painting wash to establish value and color. Soft pastel is applied in layers\, often in contrasting color and temperatures for vibrancy. Over her 35-year career in painting\, Will has won numerous national awards. She also operates a custom framing business from her home/studio in Washington Township and teaches occasional workshops.

Alluding to feelings of pain\, otherness\, power and triumph\, \"she was here\, once\" features work that illustrates a moment of remembrance and reflection on the women who have roamed these spaces before us.\n\nIn summer 2018\, artist Nastassja Swift organized a collaborative workshop and public performance in her home city of Richmond\, Virginia. Using a range of choreographed movement\, sound\, and solidarity\, eight Black women and girls\, wearing large needle felted wool masks\, traced the ancestral footprints of the arrival of the Black body in Richmond. The 3.5 mile walk began in Shockoe Bottom (the site of the importation of slaves into Richmond\, and one of the largest sources of slave trade in America) and concluded in the Jackson Ward neighborhood (one of the largest Black communities in Richmond).\n\nThe multi-layered piece has produced a short film\, mini documentary\, photography\, and performance masks\, on display in her solo exhibition\, \"she was here\, once\" in Lane Hall.\n\nLane Hall Gallery is open to the public weekdays from 8am - 4pm. Class visits are encouraged.\n\nAccessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock).

Using a multi-media approach to demonstrate respect\, comfort and awareness\, the\nexhibit offers suggestions for becoming disability allies and educators.\n\nIt has been twenty years since the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and almost forty years since the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Both of these laws protect against discrimination of people with disabilities by requiring equal access to employment\, education\, goods and services.\n\nAmericans have progressed in their attitudes and behaviors toward people with disabilities\; however\, there remain questions and concerns about appropriate communication\, comfort level\, and inclusive practices.\n\nWhen it comes to interacting with individuals with disabilities\, people ask:\n\"What should I do?\"\, \"How should I respond?\"\, \"Is it okay to say that?\"\, \"How can I become an ally?\"\; Allies for Inclusion: The Ability Exhibit will attempt to answer some of these questions.\n\nStudents\, faculty and staff are encouraged to experience The Ability Exhibit when it visits the Institute for Social Research (426 Thompson St.) \n\nFebruary 27\, 9am-4pm\nFebruary 28\, 8:30am-4pm\n\nIf you require an accommodation to participate in this event or have any questions\, please contact Anna Massey at abeattie@umich.edu.

This redefinition has fundamental implications for electrical standards\, including standards of current based on the charge of the electron. One mode of semiconducting single-electron pump is the single-gate ratchet mode\, based on the concept of a Brownian motor – this fact makes the mode quite subtle in operation. We show experimentally that\, in the same devices\, we can demonstrate multiple two-gate pumping modes but not the single-gate mode. We propose three mechanisms to explain the lack of plateaus in the single-gate ratchet mode. Educators/textbook writers: I will also discuss a proposal on how to introduce the new SI to students.\n UID:61507-15119364@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/61507 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190206T121704 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T133000 SUMMARY:Meeting:Doctoral Candidate Write-In DESCRIPTION:Spend some time getting a jump start on your dissertation writing.

His family settled in Grand Rapids\, Michigan after stays in both Japan and Iowa. After attending various universities around Michigan\, John took an education hiatus to work in a cannery in Alaska. It was there that he found his calling in the pages of American Craft while scouring the tables of free magazines at the Anchorage Public Library. He received his BFA (Furniture Design) from Northern Michigan University in 1996 and his MFA (Furniture Design) from Rhode Island School of Design in 2000. John teaches in the School of Art and Design at Eastern Michigan University. John has recently exhibited work at the Muskegon Museum of Art\, the Midland Center for the Arts\, the Grand Rapids Art Museum\, and the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum. He lives in Ann Arbor and maintains a studio in his home.\n\n<<>><<>><<>> Householdments <<>><<>><<>><<>><<>>\nWhile I don’t literally remember my earliest childhood years in Japan where I was born\, I have over my lifetime\, stitched together memories based on home movies\, family photos\, and images from my imagination. I “remember” the aesthetics of the place - objects and environments carefully made in wood\, stone\, and steel. Without necessarily conscious of it at the time\, I was dimly aware of Japanese visual composition. Things around me held an inherent logic and beauty\, a perfection made possible by keen tools\, quality materials\, and proficient makers. This three-part integration was embedded early on and continues to affect my own ongoing pursuit in object making.\n\nWhile finding my way as a young maker\, I realized where I belonged mostly because of how various studios smelled. The ceramics studio was musty and dirty\, the metals studio was acrid and smoky\, but the wood studio had an earthy aroma. My kind of place. The tools immediately felt right as well. Chisels\, planes\, and knives when sharpened properly could manipulate the material in ways I never expected. While I was clearly not a natural talent\, I quickly realized that a little bit of tenacity goes a long way. I also realized that I loved the logic for how wood parts can fit together. To build a wooden object or a piece of furniture each part depends on the fit of others. I deeply appreciate this fitting togetherness – how doors fit\, how drawers fit\, how joints fit\, how hinges fit. It all makes sense\, and this sensibility carries through to what I’m doing today.\n\nWorking in wood typically requires a high degree of planning before actual construction\, and over time I realized I craved the ability to work with more spontaneity. The work in this show reflects my wish to keep the working process a bit more flexible and intuitive.\n\nWhen starting with a sketch that I believe has potential\, I now begin to build directly\, without drawings or maquettes. I’ll constantly assess what has been built and allow myself to alter it\, continue with it\, or get rid of it and start over. I’m more interested in seeing where this process takes me than I am in finishing something precisely as planned. This results in some playfulness and whimsy that I hope is reflected in this work.\n\nThe word Householdments is an old and obscure term without modern usage that refers to furniture or things we keep in our houses. It strikes me as an odd word but well fitted to describe the objects in this exhibit. The pieces in this show are a collection of my personal householdments.

DESCRIPTION:The Special Collections Research Center is excited to display a variety of nineteenth and twentieth century children's books made of cloth and related materials.\n\nThe market for children’s books expanded over the course of the nineteenth century\, as childhood mortality rates dropped and literacy rates rose. British and American publishers sought to create “indestructible” books that would appeal to the parents and teachers of very young children. Linen and muslin proved to be practical and appealing materials for such books\, which were usually printed with bright colors and comparatively little text.\n\nCloth books remained popular for almost a century before the cloth rationing of World War II shifted production towards heavy-duty paper substitutes\, such as “linenette.” UID:60543-14908121@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/60543 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Free,Library LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Special Collections, 6th Floor CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180815T104044 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s DESCRIPTION:Can abstract art be about politics? In the early 1970s\, that question was hotly debated as artists\, critics\, and the public grappled with the relationship between art\, politics\, race\, and feminism. Many of those debates centered on bringing to light the roles that gender and race played in how “great modern art” was defined and assessed\, and on employing art to advance civil rights. Within this discourse\, abstraction had an especially fraught role. To many\, the decision by women artists and artists of color to make abstract art seemed to represent a retreat from politics and protest: an abnegation of a commitment to civil rights and feminism. \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" presents large-scale work by four leading American artists—Helen Frankenthaler\, Sam Gilliam\, Al Loving\, and Louise Nevelson—who chose abstraction as a means of expression within the intense political climate of the early 1970s.\n\nLead support for \"Abstraction\, Color\, and Politics in the Early 1970s\" is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost\, Michigan Medicine\, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund\, the Herbert W. and Susan L.

For the first time\, The Mighty and the Mythic brings together three key projects — CareForce (2012– ongoing)\, Bibliobandido (2010–ongoing)\, and MIRROR | MASK (2017–ongoing) — that highlight her deep and meaningful collaborations with low-wage immigrants\, caregivers\, and youth. Jahn describes her use of play and humor as essential tools that enable her and her collaborators to portray their lives with dignity\, critique power\, and build momentum within their community. Jahn’s practice is deeply informed by her own experiences growing up as a second-generation immigrant of Chinese and Ecuadorian heritage. For Jahn home was not a fixed place but an adaptation itself. Her varied vocational past as a schoolteacher\, caretaker\, woodshop cleaner-upper\, lumber hauler\, community organizer\, and now university professor and mother informs the urgency in her work to find common ground between (her-)self and (an-)other\, through the concepts of care and empathy. Each of the works in this exhibition highlights her deep engagement with the stories of everyday people\, mundane routines\, and a desire to build an inclusive society. Marisa Morán Jahn: the Mighty and the Mythic celebrates and acknowledges the daily struggles and minor victories of the 99 percent that make up the spirit of our society in the twenty-first century.\n\nArtwork by Marisa Morán Jahn: The Driver (detail)\, from MIRROR | MASK series\, featuring Darlyne Komukama. 2017\, Uganda UID:59587-14754489@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/59587 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Activism,Art,Exhibition,immigration LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190315T123027 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T130000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:AWS Open House for Cleared Opportunities - Active U.S. Government Clearance Required DESCRIPTION:Are you an IT professional with an active U.S. government clearance?

Learning from 21st century hunter-gatherers about the evolution of the human diet DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe world’s few remaining foraging populations are often used as referential models of human evolution and ancestral health – with topics ranging from the so-called “Paleolithic Diet” to the “hunter-gatherer workout” or even “re-wilding the microbiome”. We live in a time when our industrialized modes of subsistence have never been more dissimilar to those of our past\, the Neolithic farmers or the Paleolithic hunter-gatherers. Despite this\, there has been an increase in public curiosity and a revitalized effort on the part of scientists to better understand the lifeway that has characterized 95% of human evolution – that of nomadic foraging for wild foods. But what can modern day hunter-gatherers really tell us about our evolutionary past? Here\, I discuss the ways in which data collected among the Hadza foragers of Tanzania are critical for evolutionary reconstructions of nutrition and behavior. I explore foraging profiles across the lifespan\, seasonal differences in diet composition\, and the phylogenetic diversity of Hadza gut microbiota. I discuss how these findings may have implications for understanding human health and behavior in the post-industrialized west. As we are increasingly aware of the role that microbes play in biology\, evolution\, and in health and disease patterns\, it is important to properly contextualize data collected from the world’s most vulnerable small scale societies – particularly as there is great potential for the commercialization of microbiome research. Furthermore\, as shifts in diet composition are often linked to many key milestones in human evolution (like brain expansion\, cooperation\, and family formation)\, it is necessary to clearly articulate how data from hunter-gatherers can inform our understanding of both our evolutionary past and our contemporary present.

We demonstrate here that the potential exists to advance forecast lead times of extreme weather events into S2S timescales through knowledge of two of the atmosphere’s most prominent oscillations\; the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and the Quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). We present evidence of a dynamical relationship linking atmospheric rivers (narrow plumes of intense atmospheric moisture that lead to floods and droughts over the west coast) to the MJO and the QBO through modulation of North Pacific blocking using reanalyses and retrospective forecasts of S2S forecast systems\, and demonstrate differences in predictability across MJO phases. We conclude by presenting an empirical prediction scheme for anomalous atmospheric river activity based solely on the MJO and QBO and demonstrate skillful subseasonal “forecasts of opportunity” 4+ weeks ahead.

From self-driving cars\, drones\, digital assistants and medical robots to AI & ML tools used by insurance companies\, consumer electronics and the entertainment industry\, these intelligent machines (and the algorithms that drive them) will change how we work\, we commute\, we learn\, and we operate and interact with each other. Control theory has a major role to play in designing and building the next generation of safety-critical autonomous systems. Algorithmic control theory\, in particular\, reflects the current trend of merging of control\, computer/computational science\, information theory\, and communications\, into a new discipline for optimization-based\, on-line\, control synthesis\, which is a crucial ingredient for these autonomous systems to reason about\, and operate in\, high-dimensional search spaces\, in the presence of uncertainty or malicious adversaries\, and under severe time and informational constraints. In this talk I will present some of the recent work conducted at the Dynamics and Control Systems Laboratory (DCSL) at Georgia Tech that aims at answering some of these challenges\, which lie at the intersection of control\, AI\, and robotics. \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nPanagiotis Tsiotras is the Dean’s Professor at the School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech\, where he is also the Director of the Dynamics and Control Systems Laboratory (DCSL) and the Associate Director for Research in the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines (IRIM).

The ocean is\, in effect\, a 1.3 sextillion liter water bath with muted thermal variation through time and space\, limited oxygen\, and intense convective and conductive processes. In this talk\, I will trace some of the consequences for evolution\, physiology\, population dynamics\, community assembly\, and conservation at sea\, including striking contrasts and similarities to patterns on land. I will present evidence that marine animals live closer to their upper thermal limits than do species on land\, and that marine species have responded faster to temperature change across time-scales from seasons to decades. Finally\, I will discuss some of the unique conservation challenges these dynamics create for ocean life and their potential solutions.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/_lyAp51rmSg UID:49665-11487549@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49665 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Biology,Biosciences,Ecology,Research,Science LOCATION:Biological Sciences Building - 1060 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190226T075716 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T170000 SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Evaluating Site Seismic Parameters for Construction DESCRIPTION:Geotechnical engineers are frequently faced with addressing seismicity issues\nassociated with construction of new buildings or additions to existing buildings. According to building codes and related guidelines\, the geotechnical engineer has several methods to evaluate seismicity issues at sites where new construction is planned. The findings developed from the geotechnical engineer’s evaluation are then used by the project structural engineer in their design of the proposed building. This presentation will provide a broad overview of Mr. Jedele’s experience with the methods available in the geotechnical engineer’s toolbox and include several case histories where these tools have been used and compared with each other.\n\nMr. Jedele received his baccalaureate and MS degrees from the University of Michigan. He is a Past President of the ASCE Geo-Institute Board of Governors\, and he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Academy of Geo-Professionals.

These modifications are shaped by cellular and enzyme-mediated processes\, regulated at both transcriptional and metabolic levels. Understanding how these processes operate dynamically will be vital to designing the most effective therapeutics for various treatment applications\, but at the present time principled insights are limited due to the complexity of contributing factors. I will describe a systems biology approach that includes multi-dimensional omics analyses and mathematical modeling to develop a mechanistic understanding of N-glycosylation of antibodies produced during fed-batch cultures of producer cells\, generating new insights that offer opportunities for more precise control of N-glycosylation. The functional role of glycosylation will then be probed in a representative study\, where selective transfer of antibodies with di-galactosylated Fc-glycan profiles across the placenta from mothers to newborns is observed. This additional work can provide critical information for the design of next generation maternal vaccines engineered to elicit antibodies that will effectively enhance immunity in neonates.

It is widely accepted that size extensive methods based on the coupled-cluster (CC) theory are excellent candidates for addressing this goal. Indeed\, when applied to molecular properties and chemical reaction pathways\, the CC hierarchy\, including CCSD\, CCSDT\, CCSDTQ\, etc.\, rapidly converges to the limit of the exact\, full configuration interaction (FCI)\, diagonalization of the Hamiltonian\, allowing one to capture the relevant many-electron correlation effects in a conceptually straightforward manner through particle-hole excitations from a single Slater determinant. One of the key challenges has been how to incorporate higher-than-two-body components of the cluster operator\, needed to achieve a quantitative description\, without running into prohibitive computational costs of CCSDT\, CCSDTQ\, and similar schemes\, while eliminating failures of the more practical perturbative approximations of the CCSD(T) type in multi-reference situations\, such as chemical bond breaking. In this talk\, we examine a radically new way of obtaining accurate energetics equivalent to high-level CC calculations\, even when electronic quasi-degeneracies become significant\, at the small fraction of the computational cost\, while preserving the black-box character of single-reference computations. The key idea is a merger of the deterministic formalism\, abbreviated as CC(P\;Q) [1\,2]\, with the stochastic CI [3\,4] and CC [5] Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) approaches [6]. We also demonstrate that one can take the merger of the stochastic and deterministic ideas to the ultimate level and use it to enable precise extrapolations of the exact\, FCI\, energetics based on the early stages of FCIQMC propagations [7]. The advantages of the new methodologies will be illustrated by molecular examples\, where the goal is to recover the nearly exact\, CCSDT and CCSDTQ\, and exact\, FCI\, energetics in situations involving chemical bond dissociations and reaction pathways. Possible extensions of this work to excited electronic states [8] and strongly correlated systems [9] will be mentioned as well.\n\n[1] J. Shen and P. Piecuch\, Chem. Phys. 401\, 180 (2012)\; J.

It is a portrait of those musicians and artists who have turned their art into weapons of resistance during periods of heightened state repression and violence in the region. As the Kashmiri satirist and poet Zareef Ahmad Zareef ponders over the credibility of his pen\, a sparrow’s song of lament takes over\; taking us on a journey to discover the threads of people's history of Kashmir\, which has been preserved in the region's folk poetry and music for centuries. A departure from Kashmir's orientalist stereotype of a 'paradise' unfurls a transformed cultural landscape of the deeply militarized valley where spiritual ideals of Sufyana music and traditional poetry metamorphose into political lyricism of modern Hip Hop and Rock. From underground artists and rock musicians to cartoonists and performance artists\, the cultural practitioners in the film evoke collective memory of their people whilst negotiating with questions of survival\, resistance and freedom – all deeply embroiled in the complex conflict of Kashmir. \n\nAbout the Directors: \nTushar is an independent filmmaker and film editor based in Mumbai.

The fight for genuine social equality requires mobilizing the social power of the billions-strong international working class in a united movement for socialism. \nThe coming period will see the rebirth of the class struggle on a scale not seen in decades. To prepare\, socialists must study the history of the workers’ movement and of Trotskyism\, the revolutionary socialist opposition to Stalinism\, and the representatives of classical Marxism today. \n\nThis lecture will explain what genuine socialism is. \n\nJoseph Kishore is the National Secretary of the Socialist Equality Party (US)\, the US section of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). He is a prominent writer for the World Socialist Web Site\, the most widely-read socialist news publication in the world.

Merrily We Roll Along moves backwards in time\, exploring the life of three friends from their disenchanted adulthood to the bright-eyed optimism of their youth\, exploring all the choices they made along the way. The production will feature a full 15-piece orchestra sharing the stage with the actors.\n\nDirector Megumi Nakamura\, a Senior in the renowned University of Michigan Musical Theatre Department\, is thrilled to be taking on the challenging musical\, saying\,\n\n “For any student or enthusiast of musical theater\, getting to work on a musical written by Stephen Sondheim is both a daunting and exhilarating experience. The music and story of this play are beautiful and widely relatable\, but because of what some label as a challenging script\, the show is seldom produced. Consequently\, getting the opportunity to direct this show with some of the best young musical theater actors and designers in the country is an enormously thrilling and unique opportunity.” UID:54274-13563506@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/54274 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Music,Theater LOCATION:Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20190220T152207 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20190228T200000 SUMMARY:Performance:Guest/Faculty Recital: Tobias Werner\, cello and SMTD Faculty Aaron Berofsky\, violin\, Amy I-Lin Cheng\, piano\, and Kathryn Votapek\, violin DESCRIPTION:Tobias was the cellist in residence and co-artistic director at Garth Newel Music Center from 1999 until 2012.  He is the music director at The Chamber Music Conference of the East\, artistic director of VERGE ensemble\, ensemble-in-residence at the Washington Conservatory of Music\, teaches at Georgetown University\, and is an Arts for the Aging (AFTA) teaching artist.
