With nine different languages spoken during the course of the film\, this hypnotic meditation on the beauty of nature and effects of colonialism is presented with an uncommon sense of curiosity rarely seen. The crisp black and white photography captures the extraordinary landscapes with a haunting\, almost mythical sense of wonder\, while the balance between documentary-style realism and dreamlike mysticism makes for a truly poetic cinematic experience.

After learning that the villa’s owners are planning to sell the estate\, José seeks any solution that might keep his six-year-old daughter from growing up in Caracas’ crime-sodden slums. Might that fabled treasure supposedly hidden in La Soledad’s walls offer José’s family a chance at a better life?Jorge Thielen Armand’s feature debut carves fiction from reality: La Soledad was once his family’s home\; this story is true\, acted out by the people who lived it. La Soledad looks beyond the headlines and gives a voice to those affected by contemporary Venezuela’s inner turmoil. It is a magnificent feat of real-life storytelling—and a profound fusion of creativity and compassion. Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

Guided by matriarch Ursula Pushaina\, the “Birds of Passage”—drug runners—face the constant risk of violence and incarceration from the outsiders in Northern Colombia. The cultural differences between the native population and the newcomers begin a brutal war that threatens to destroy the Wayúu way of life. As greed\, passion\, and honor blend together over the decades\, the family’s unity\, their lives\, and their ancestral traditions are all put at stake.A true story\, the visually striking Birds of Passage is as much a thriller as it is an anthropological study on the consequences of outside influences to indigenous traditions.Palomitas Cineclub Winter 2020 Film Festival The Palomitas Cineclub\, organized by graduate students of the Romance Languages & Literatures Department\, has been awarded a Spanish Film Club Festival Grant* to sponsor public screenings of contemporary Iberoamerican film at the University of Michigan.

She paints intuitively to music\, spontaneously\, with no plan in mind and with as little thought as possible. She sees the first marks of black calligraphy as the hint of a language revealing bird wisdom hidden beneath successive layers of color. She paints the white layer last\, unifying all of the elements in the painting. Harold uses not only a brush\, but also fingers\, squeegee and oil sticks to capture the fleeting nature of birds. An ordained Unity minister\, Harold aims for this series to inspire the discovery of inner solutions to difficult issues that have so far eluded resolution by ordinary means.

Stamps School of Art and Design. In this body of work\, she reflects on how time spent in nature has inspired new personal discoveries and intellectual curiosity\, while serving as a positive distraction from recent experiences with grief and sadness. Drawing from these insights\, Mondro crocheted and stitched fine wire to create intricate woven sculptures reminiscent of seeds\, pods and other organic forms. Focusing on the wonderfully complex construction of these forms\, Mondro mimics nature’s ability to be structurally strong while delicate in appearance to invite deeper exploration.

Her work includes realist oil paintings of common everyday objects and abstracted subjects portrayed in gouache (opaque watercolor) on paper. This recent body of work evolved from years of photographing rooftops\, playgrounds\, houses and aerial views\, and digitally manipulating them to create colorful and quirky compositions. The scenes are not intended to be specific locales\, but rather to celebrate the color\, shape\, rhythm and structure found in our daily environment. Gouache is a medium which requires slow and careful application and reflects the artist’s view of painting as a meditative pursuit.

Celerin’s family emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Canada in 1968 as political refugees escaping Soviet rule. Both a molecular geneticist and artist\, her artistic medium is a sophisticated blend of highly dimensional weaving\, crochet\, needle felting\, and other fiber-based techniques that incorporates everyday reclaimed and recycled materials to help tell a story. The pieces on exhibit are drawn from a larger body of work that translates the extraordinary challenges of modern-day human migration and notes the parallel phenomena in animals.

Over the years\, she has collected\, saved\, garbage-rescued\, and gathered objects that capture her attention. A firm believer that there is no such thing as garbage\, and a great observer of nature’s cycle of creating and breaking down\, she has constructed numerous cement vessels to hold all these objects that proliferate the studio. These finds\, the vessels that hold them\, and the totems that pay tribute to them\, all keep her company\, inspire her\, and keep her calm in her temple-like studio in the woods outside of Chelsea\, Michigan.

As you read\, consider how these journals embody elements of both private and public writing and the permeability between those spheres.\n\nDiaries\, journals\, daily planners\, notebooks: these ephemeral writings provide documentation of private lives and thoughts that can otherwise be difficult to find in the historical record. But does “private” necessarily imply unfiltered and unmediated? Many theorists have noted that the diarist is both writer and reader\, both private and public self. Therefore the content and form of diaries are created for future reading\, even if only by a future version of the self. The ambiguity of a diary’s audience is heightened in the case of published diaries. The form suggests that we\, as readers\, are accessing raw\, unfiltered thoughts\, but rounds of revision are common\, and often essential to clearly convey the intended meaning. Even further from our notions of authentic\, private writing\, fictional diaries are written solely to be published and read by the public\, but use the diary form to draw the reader into a particular relationship with the text and its protagonist.

In practice\, though\, Bayesian inference necessitates approximation of a high-dimensional integral\, and some traditional algorithms for this purpose can be slow---notably at data scales of current interest. The tutorial will cover the foundations of some modern tools for fast\, approximate Bayesian inference at scale. One increasingly popular framework is provided by \"variational Bayes\" (VB)\, which formulates Bayesian inference as an optimization problem. We will examine key benefits and pitfalls of using VB in practice\, with a focus on the widespread \"mean-field variational Bayes\" (MFVB) subtype. We will highlight properties that anyone working with VB\, from the data analyst to the theoretician\, should be aware of. And we will discuss a number of open challenges.\n\nThis workshop is open to all and will be livestreamed at\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/610377170\nProblems?

By definition\, VML exceeds the muscle’s capacity for self-repair and results in persistent functional deficits. Significantly\, no treatment options exist that can fully restore native structure and function. To address the limitations of current treatments\, our laboratory has developed tissue-engineered skeletal muscle units (SMUs) as a novel treatment for VML repair. SMUs have shown promising regenerative potential in a rat VML model\; however\, limitations of rodent models necessitated transitioning our technology to a large animal (sheep) model.\n\n \n\nDespite substantial heterogeneity of muscle progenitor cell populations obtained from craniofacial\, trunk\, and limb muscle\, engineered skeletal muscle tissues are almost exclusively fabricated from cells derived from hindlimb muscle\, making the effects of cell source on engineered muscle tissue unknown. Thus\, we conducted a comparison of SMUs fabricated from muscle cells isolated from both craniofacial and hindlimb muscle sources and evaluated the effects of these cell sources on SMU structure and function. Specifically\, we showed that the semimembranosus muscle was the most clinically relevant muscle source for the fabrication of SMUs.\n\nWe also sought to develop a method to scale our SMUs to clinically relevant sizes. We developed a modular fabrication method that combines multiple smaller SMUs into a larger implantable graft. Consequently\, we successfully fabricated of one of the largest engineered skeletal muscle tissues to date while avoiding the formation of a necrotic core. To treat peripheral nerve injuries that often accompany VML\, we also developed engineered neural conduits (ENCs) to bridge gaps between healthy native nerve and the injury site. We used scaled-up SMUs and ENCs to treat a 30% VML in the ovine peroneus tertius muscle. After a 3-month recovery\, SMU-treated groups restored muscle mass and force production to a level that was statistically indistinguishable from the uninjured contralateral muscle.\n\nLastly\, we evaluated the efficacy of SMUs in repairing craniofacial VML. Despite reported differences in the regenerative capacity of craniofacial muscle compared to limb muscle\, prior to my thesis there were no models of craniofacial VML in either large or small animal models. Thus\, we introduced the first model of craniofacial VML and evaluated the ability of SMUs to treat a 30% VML in the zygomaticus major muscle. Despite using the same injury and repair model in both implantation studies\, results showed differences in pathophysiology between craniofacial and hindlimb VML. The fibrotic response was increased in the facial muscle model\, and there was tissue tethering and intramuscular fat deposition that was not observed in the hindlimb study. The craniofacial model was also confounded by concomitant denervation and ischemia injuries which was too severe for our SMUs to repair. This study highlighted the importance of balancing the use of a clinically realistic model while also maintaining control over variables related to the severity of the injury.\n\nOverall\, this work significantly contributed to the field of skeletal muscle tissue engineering by evaluating the effects of muscle source on the structure and function of SMUs\, created a modular fabrication method for tissue scale-up\, and introduced a new large animal model\, and a craniofacial model of VML. The success of this technology demonstrates its potential for treating clinical VML in the future.\n\nChair: Dr. Lisa Larkin UID:73840-18339520@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/73840 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:biomedical,biomedical engineering,Biosciences,bme,Discussion,engineering,Life Science,Medicine,Michigan Engineering,Research,Science LOCATION:Off Campus Location CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20200316T132652 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20200326T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20200326T110000 SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Ph.D. Defense: Tyler Gerhardson DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: Will be held via BlueJeans.\n\nLink: https://umich.bluejeans.com/924142541\n\nBrain pathologies including stroke and cancer are a major cause of death and disability. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for roughly 12% of all strokes in the US with approximately 200\,000 new cases per year. ICH is characterized by the rupture of vessels resulting in bleeding and clotting inside the brain. The presence of the clot causes immediate damage to surrounding brain tissue via mass effect with delayed toxic effects developing in the days following the hemorrhage. This leads ICH patients to high mortality with a 40% chance of death within 30 days of diagnosis and motivates the need to quickly evacuate the clot from the brain. Craniotomy surgery and other minimally invasive methods using thrombolytic drugs are common procedures to remove the clot but are limited by factors such as morbidity and high susceptibility to rebleeding\, which ultimately result in poor clinical outcomes.\n \nHistotripsy is a non-thermal ultrasound ablation technique that uses short duration\, high amplitude rarefactional pulses (>26 MPa) delivered via an extracorporeal transducer to generate targeted cavitation using the intrinsic gas nuclei existing in the target tissue. The rapid and energetic bubble expansion and collapse of cavitation create high stress and strain in tissue at the focus that fractionate it into an acellular homogenate. This dissertation presents the role of histotripsy as a novel ultrasound technology with potential to address the need for an effective transcranial therapy for ICH and other brain pathologies.\n \nThe first part of this work investigates the effects of ultrasound frequency and focal spacing on transcranial clot liquefaction using histotripsy. Histotripsy pulses were delivered using two 256-element hemispherical transducers of different frequency (250 and 500 kHz) with 30-cm aperture diameters. Liquefied clot was drained via catheter and syringe in the range of 6-59 mL in 0.9-42.4 min. The fastest rate was 16.6 mL/min. The best parameter combination was λ spacing at 500 kHz\, which produced large liquefaction through 3 skullcaps (~30 mL) with fast rates (~2 mL/min). The temperature-rise through the 3 skullcaps remained below 4°C.\n \nThe second part addresses initial safety concerns for histotripsy ICH treatment through investigation in a porcine ICH model. 1.75-mL clots were formed in the frontal lobe of the brain. The centers of the clots were liquefied with histotripsy 48 h after formation\, and the content was either evacuated or left within the brain. A control group was left untreated. Histotripsy was able to liquefy the core of clots without direct damage to the perihematomal brain tissue. An average volume of 0.9 ± 0.5 mL (~50%) was drained after histotripsy treatment. All groups showed mild ischemia and gliosis in the perihematomal region\; however\, there were no deaths or signs of neurological dysfunction in any groups.\n \nThe third part presents the development of a novel catheter hydrophone method for transcranial phase aberration correction and drainage of the clot liquefied with histotripsy. A prototype hydrophone was fabricated to fit within a ventriculostomy catheter. Improvements in focal pressure of up to 60% were achieved at the geometric focus and 27%-62% across a range of electronic steering locations. The sagittal and axial -6-dB beam widths decreased from 4.6 to 2.2 mm in the sagittal direction and 8 to 4.4 mm in the axial direction\, compared to 1.5 and 3 mm in the absence of aberration. The cores of clots liquefied with histotripsy were readily drained via the catheter.\n \nThe fourth part focuses on the development of a preclinical system for translation to human cadaver ICH models. A 360-element\, 700 kHz hemispherical array with a 30 cm aperture was designed and integrated with an optical tracker surgical navigation system. Calibrated simulations of the transducer suggest a therapeutic range between 48 – 105 mL through the human skull with the ability to apply therapy pulses at pulse-repetition-frequencies up to 200 Hz. The navigation system allows real-time targeting and placement of the catheter hydrophone via a pre-operative CT or MRI.\n \nThe fifth and final part of this work extends transcranial histotripsy therapy beyond ICH to the treatment of glioblastoma. This section presents results from an initial investigation into cancer immunomodulation using histotripsy in a mouse glioblastoma model. The results suggest histotripsy has some immunomodulatory capacity as evidenced by a 2-fold reduction in myeloid derived suppressor cells and large increases in interferon-γ concentrations (3500 pg/mL) within the brain tumors of mice treated with histotripsy.

Through a selection of mid-century to contemporary Inuit prints\, drawings\, and sculptures that portray seemingly ordinary reflections of daily life along with daydreaming meditations\, the exhibition bridges the mundane and the fantastic. Together\, these artworks present a distinct imagery and a visual poetry culled from the day-to-day reality of life in the far polar north. The perspectives range from soaring gazes at the horizon to glimpses of commonplace social interactions. These contemplations reveal intimate connections among the artists\, their communities\, and their locale—a specific place and time composed of icy regions and vast seas and tundras. Reflections: An Ordinary Day takes visitors on a lyrical journey of the myriad spaces and routines within an Arctic landscape.\n\nThis exhibition is made possible by the Power Family Program for Inuit Art\, established in 2018 through the generosity of Philip and Kathy Power.

The case of Ernest Renan (1823-1892) is here emblematic. The lecture will survey Renan’s conception of Judaism and Islam\, through his invention of the category of “Semitic religions.” We shall reflect on its consequences on the study of monotheism among historians of religions\, as well as on the development of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the last decades of the century. \n\nThere is both an accessible elevator and gender-neutral restroom on the first and second floor.

Electric vehicle drivers value public charging availability since\, among other benefits\, it reduces range anxiety. This talk introduces drivers’ willingness to pay functions for public charging infrastructure availability\, conditional on electric vehicle type and range\, annual travel mileage\, energy prices\, vehicle efficiency\, and household income. At the same time\, public charging deployment creates investment opportunities for station operators and electric utilities. Hence\, in the last part of this talk\, operating costs for fast charging stations are estimated\, leveraging utility rates data across the United States. Cost mitigation technologies\, such as solar panels and energy storage\, are also identified.\n\nEleftheria Kontou is an Assistant Professor in the Civil and Enviornmental Engineering Department at University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign.

In particular\, I will consider a general class of finite-horizon control problems\, where we see a stream of stochastic arrivals from some known distribution\, and need to select actions\, with the final objective depending only on the aggregate type-action counts. For such settings\, I will introduce a unified algorithmic paradigm\, and provide a simple\, yet general\, condition under which these algorithms achieve constant regret\, i.e.\, additive loss compared to the hindsight optimal solution which is independent of the horizon and state-space. The results stem from an elementary sample-path coupling argument\, which may prove useful for a larger class of problems in online decision-making. Time permitting\, I will illustrate this by showing how we can use this technique to obtain simple data-driven implementations of the above algorithms\, which achieve constant regret with as little as a single data trace.\n\nBio:\nSid Banerjee is an Assistant Professor in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE) at Cornell\, as well as a field member in the CS and ECE Departments and the Center for Applied Mathematics.

Accurate prediction of tropical cyclogenesis by numerical models has been a significant challenge\, largely because of the lack of observations over the tropical oceans. The atmospheric limb sounding technique\, which makes use of radio signals transmitted by global navigation satellite systems (GNSS)\, has evolved as a robust global observing system. This technique\, known as radio occultation (RO) can provide valuable water vapor and temperature observations for the analysis and prediction of tropical cyclogenesis. Using the WRF modeling and data assimilation system\, we show that the assimilation of RO data can substantially improve the skills of the model in predicting the tropical cyclogenesis for ten typhoon cases that took place over the Western Pacific from 2008 to 2010. To gain insight on the impact of GPS RO data assimilation\, we perform a detailed analysis of the formation process of Typhoon Nuri (2008)\, and examine how the assimilation of the GPS RO data enables the model to capture the cyclogenesis. The joint Taiwan-U.S. COSMIC-II mission was launched in June 2019. It is currently going through check-out phase\, and will provide 5\,000 GPS RO data per day over the tropics when it is fully operational. This will provide a great opportunity for research and operational prediction of tropical cyclogenesis.\n\nPlease join us!

It will also show that many of those institutions were put in place during the two Han dynasties\, and that the theorists adapted the Five Classics and early masterwork to justify a surprising series of innovations (including voting).\n \nMichael Nylan (Ph.D. '83) began her teaching career at Bryn Mawr College\, in the History Department\, with an affiliation with the Growth and Structure of Cities program and Political Science. There she began to learn political philosophy from Steven Salkever\, an Aristotle expert. After more than a decade at Bryn Mawr\, where she founded and led the major in East Asian Studies\, in 2001 she moved on to the UC-Berkeley History Department\, to work with graduate students in the company of one of the oldest and most distinguished of faculties of Chinese history. Now she writes in three main academic disciplines: the history of early China (roughly 300 BC-AD 300)\, early Chinese philosophy\, and the art and archaeology of China. She has an abiding interest in the use and abuse of history in the modern period\, as well as in the politics of the common good\, the \"logics of legitimacy\" inscribed in the implied social contracts forged at different times and places between the rulers and ruled at different times and places. She began research on pleasure theory in early China some eighteen years ago\, and because no one was writing on the topic at the time\, she took her time with the project\, to better understand the precise valences of the vocabulary and tropes the Chinese used to communicate their thoughts in a culture alive to pleasure. Her current projects include a reconstruction of a Han-era Documents classic\, writing a general-interest study on the \"Four Fathers of History\,\" and compiling a study of the politics of the common good in early China.\n \nIf you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event\, please reach out to us at least 2 weeks in advance of this event.

Details TBA.\n\nWhy I Fight\, a theatrical adaptation of the 2019 Michigan Quarterly Review novelette by James Munro Leaf\, dramatizes the perils of being defined by a mental illness and being caught in the psychiatric system. It probes the presumption of labels and the complex dynamics of power\, dehumanization\, and abuse in clinical settings. Creative director Gillian Eaton and actor Malcolm Tulip\, faculty of the U-M School of Music\, Theatre\, and Dance\, engage several of their students in this production at the Residential College’s Keene Theater (dates TBA).\n\nBased on collaboration with the staff at the U-M Heinz C. Prechter Bipolar Research Program and other University colleagues\, a series of panels on mental illness and the arts follow each theatrical performance.

Individuals and family members who live with mental illness\; U-M faculty conducting psycho-social\, public health\, and biomedical research\; mental health practitioners and community advocates\, including the arts community\, will explore the roles of creativity and nature for healing. The panels will be moderated by Dr. Melvin McInnis\, Director of the Prechter Program\, and other U-M mental health experts. A catered reception and information tables for resources in the arts and mental wellness organizations accompany each performance. (Please see the full list of panelists for more information).\n\nA series of associated events and workshops\, free and open to the public\, are scheduled for the weekend.

Ticketholders will receive more communication soon.**\n \nan operetta by Johann Strauss II\nDirected by Grant Preisser\, University Opera Theatre\nConducted by Kirk Severtson\, University Philharmonia Orchestra\n\nScheming and devious plans run amuck to culminate in a hilarious comeuppance in this re-imagined\, gender-bent take on Strauss's light-hearted comedy filled with lush Viennese waltzes. Willkommen\, Bienvenue\, Welcome to ... The Fledermaus--Berlin’s hottest cabaret! It’s New Year’s Eve 1932\, and Orlofsky’s club is preparing for its annual blow-out celebration. However\, more is afoot this year than usual as Orlofsky and Rosalinde\, the headline singer of the cabaret\, scheme to out Rosalinde’s playboy and apparently bi-sexual husband\, Gabriel von Eisenstein. With the aid of Eisenstein’s friend Dr. Falke\, Rosalinde feigns an illness\, clearing the path for Eisenstein to attend the party and indulge in his proclivities without his wife present. Unbeknownst to Eisenstein\, Rosalinde does\, in fact\, attend-in full male drag-with the aim to seduce her husband and confirm the rumors of his broadening predilections. Of course\, things never go quite as planned\, and as the party rages on\, champagne flows\, secrets are revealed\, and disguises come off\, leading to a lesson for some and a happy reconciliation for all.\n\nFull of pranks\, disguises\, and overall merriment\, Die Fledermaus is Johann Strauss II’s most loved operetta\, featuring the Hungarian “Csardas\,” and Orlofsky’s “Toast to Champagne.” This updated take explores themes of sexuality and gender identification\, as present in the 1930s as they are today. This production will be sung in German with dialogue in English and German and projected English translations.

In this mythical monodrama\, Shyu effortlessly weaves together music\, monologue and video projection\, tracing the threads of her life to explore the painful terrain of expectation\, ambition\, longing and love. A performance of the piece will take place in the Video Studio at the James and Anne Duderstadt Center on Thursday\, March 26 at 7:30pm\, and is free and open to the public. \n\nZero Grasses was commissioned by John Zorn’s Stone Commissioning series and premiered in October 2019 at National Sawdust. It is sung in English\, Taiwanese\, Tetum of East Timor\, Korean\, Javanese\, and Indonesian.

She comes to Michigan with a new album\, \"It's About Time\,\" produced by longtime friend and collaborator Dominic John Davis (bassist to Jack White\, Buddy Miller\, North Mississippi Allstars\, Joshua Davis). This new collection of original songs is an eclectic journey drawing influences from a cross section of middle America spanning from the Gulf Shore sands to the Great Lakes basin. It's sounding like a career maker for this Michigan musician\, so if you haven't heard Jen for a while\, come and check it out!
