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. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866217@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 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.

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. Johe Endowment\, and the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities and the Institute for Research on Women and Gender.

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.

A previous study about the early years indicated that the community has evolved into a differentiated discipline. This paper investigates the recent development of social simulation as reflected in Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation (JASSS) publications from 2008 to 2014. By using citation analysis\, we identify the most influential publications and study the characteristics of citations. Additionally\, we analyze the development of the field with respect to research topics and their structure in a co-citation analysis. The citation characteristics support the continuing highly multidisciplinary character of JASSS. Prominently cited are methodological papers and books\, standards\, and NetLogo as the main simulation tool. With respect to the focus of this research\, we observe continuity in topics such as opinion dynamics and the evolution of cooperation. While some topics disappeared such as learning\, new subjects emerged such as marriage formation models and tools and platforms. Overall\, one can observe a maturing inter- and multidisciplinary scientific community in which both methodological issues and specific social science topics are discussed and standards have emerged.

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:48737-11297780@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:20180205T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180205T170000 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.

In His Own Voice: What Hatayi Tells Us about Shah Ismail’s Religious Views DESCRIPTION:This talk will look at religious views of Shah Ismail\, the founder of the Safavid Empire\, as reflected in his poetry. The speaker will argue that in Shah Ismail’s poetic corpus\, we are faced with a peculiar combination of divinization of ‘Ali\, monism\, and a firm focus on the salvific community united with the love of ‘Ali and allegiance to the Safavid shaykh/pir. Shah Ismail’s bid on sovereignty\, therefore\, can be interpreted as a clear instance of the strategy of equating royal and sacred authority which became popular in the post-Mongol age: his sacred power\, understood as the distillation of ‘Ali’s authority into his person as the Safavid Sufi master\, elevates him to the position of royal authority\, the sovereign king. \n \nAhmet T. Karamustafa is professor of history at the University of Maryland\, College Park. His expertise is in the social and intellectual history of Sufism in particular and Islamic piety in general in the medieval and early modern periods. His publications include \"God’s Unruly Friends\" (University of Utah Press\, 1994) and \"Sufism: The Formative Period\" (Edinburgh University Press & University of California Press\, 2007). He is currently working on a book project titled \"Vernacular Islam: Everyday Muslim Religious Life in Medieval Anatolia\" (co-authored with Cemal Kafadar) as well as a monograph on the history of early medieval Sufism titled \"The Flowering of Sufism.\" UID:47757-11004745@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47757 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:International,Middle East Studies,Muslim,Poetry,Writing LOCATION:Hatcher Graduate Library - Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180220T123026 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180205T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180205T170000 SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Give 'Em What They Want: Career Competencies all Employers are Looking for and How to Get Them DESCRIPTION:If you are in Handshake\, Click \"Join event\" to RSVP* Not in Handshake?

This measurement will improve sensitivity by 4 orders of magnitude over existing limits\, presenting a rare opportunity for an indirect probe of new physics beyond the reach of current or planned high energy colliders. To achieve a single conversion event sensitivity better than 3e-17 the experiment requires a very intense muon beam and a high precision measurement of the ~105 MeV/c conversion electron momentum\, while reducing to negligible all background contributions in the signal window. The measurement strategy\, the detector design\, and the current experimental status will be presented in this talk.\n UID:49079-11375461@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/49079 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20171220T144539 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180205T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180205T170000 SUMMARY:Presentation:PitE Information Session DESCRIPTION:PitE will be holding an information session for any students who are currently undeclared.

In contrast to classic learning methods such as linear regression and Principal Component Analysis (PCA)\, our understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of modern approaches is still developing. In particular\, the robustness and scope of applicability of these algorithms remain elusive in most cases.\n\nIn this talk\, I will aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice for modern learning methods by drawing principled connections with classic learning algorithms under appropriate baseline setups. I will demonstrate the success of this approach in two fundamental problems in machine learning and statistics\, namely (1) learning nonlinear dependency measures among random variables and (2) learning probabilistic models from data. For the first problem\, I will introduce Maximally Correlated PCA as a multivariate extension of Maximal Correlation and a nonlinear generalization of PCA. For the second problem\, I will discuss Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) by drawing connections to optimal transport theory\, supervised learning and rate-distortion theory. During the talk\, I will examine applications in real datasets including a cutting-edge single-cell RNA-seq dataset. \n\nBio- Soheil Feizi is a post-doctoral research scholar at Stanford University in the area of machine learning and statistical inference. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) with a minor degree in Mathematics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He completed a M.Sc. in EECS at MIT\, where he received the Ernst Guillemin award for his thesis\, as well as the Jacobs Presidential Fellowship and the EECS Great Educators Fellowship.

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.

Growing up in the country in Kansas\, she had wide open spaces to explore\, as well as many of her family’s dilapidated farm buildings and overgrown pasture lands. At the University of Kansas\, she began working with street sign material and has continued to incorporate aluminum and vinyl in her work. Part of this series is included in the 2017 Women to Watch: Metals exhibition at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City\, Missouri\, where she lives and works.

It led him to the University of Nevada\, Las Vegas and a BA degree in Fine Arts. With this body of work\, his intent is to capture images that illustrate the unique landscape that erosion sculpts over time. His goal with photography is to be artistic yet convey truth. He wants the subject to inspire the audience and leave a lasting impression: to elicit an emotional response. Each image represents moments in time and of journeys traveled\, both figuratively and literally\, since he is involved in every step of the process as he sees each piece to completion.

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. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866218@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 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.

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.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity.

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.

Information geometry aims to replace the maximum likelihood method of statistics by a geometric approach. Many of the techniques involved sound familiar to physicists because they are used in classical mechanics\, relativity\, or thermodynamics. 2. The study of deformed exponential families started with the non-extensive statistical physics of Tsallis. New classes of statistical models will hopefully find application in many areas of research. A short presentation is given of the formalism of phi-deformed exponential families and their dual rho-tau geometries.

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:48737-11297781@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:20180206T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180206T170000 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.

Over the past decade\, a growing consensus in Europe has voiced similar decrees. But what do these ominous proclamations\, from across the political spectrum\, mean? From the influx of immigrants in the 1950s to contemporary worries about refugees and terrorism\, \"The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe\" examines the historical development of multiculturalism on the Continent. Rita Chin argues that there were few efforts to institute state-sponsored policies of multiculturalism\, and those that emerged were pronounced failures virtually from their inception. She shows that today's crisis of support for cultural pluralism isn't new but actually has its roots in the 1980s.\n\nChin looks at the touchstones of European multiculturalism\, from the urgent need for laborers after World War II to the public furor over the publication of \"The Satanic Verses\" and the question of French girls wearing headscarves to school. While many Muslim immigrants had lived in Europe for decades\, in the 1980s they came to be defined by their religion and the public's preoccupation with gender relations. Acceptance of sexual equality became the critical gauge of Muslims' compatibility with Western values. The convergence of left and right around the defense of such personal freedoms against a putatively illiberal Islam has threatened to undermine commitment to pluralism as a core ideal. Chin contends that renouncing the principles of diversity brings social costs\, particularly for the left\, and she considers how Europe might construct an effective political engagement with its varied population.\n\nChallenging the mounting opposition to a diverse society\, \"The Crisis of Multiculturalism in Europe\" presents a historical investigation into one continent's troubled relationship with cultural difference.\n\nThis event is part of IRWG's Gender: New Works\, New Questions series\, which spotlights recent publications by U-M faculty members and allows for deeper discussion by an interdisciplinary panel.\n\nBook sales provided by Common Language Bookstore.\n\nEvent Accessibility: Ramp and elevator access at the E. Washington Street entrance (by the loading dock). There are accessible restrooms on the south end of Lane Hall\, on each floor of the building. A gender neutral restroom is available on the first floor.

More precisely\, the hypothesis is that Coulomb forces are carried by transversely polarized photons. Omission of the longitudinal and scalar photons removes some of the difficulties of standard QED. The second modification is the introduction of reducible representations of the canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations. Its main effect is that integrations over the wave vectors are postponed to the moment of evaluation of expectation values. In this way the problem of ultraviolet divergences becomes manageable. An overview of the theory is presented and some experimental consequences are discussed.\n UID:42200-9584888@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/42200 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Physics,Science LOCATION:West Hall - 335 CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20180206T181532 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20180206T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180206T173000 SUMMARY:Other:Development of New Technologies for Medicinal Chemistry DESCRIPTION: Drug discovery programs are largely driven by the tools and techniques available to the synthetic medicinal chemist.

University Professorship Lecture: Locating the nodes: from sensor arrays to genomic networks DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nSpatially distributed measurements have been used for hundreds of years to perform geolocation\, geodesy and triangulation. In WW1 acoustic sensor arrays were used to locate the direction of cannon fire based on correlation between sensor readings. Sensors in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) auto-locate their nodes based on correlation between received pilot signals. In genomics influential nodes are located in transcriptional or lineage networks based on correlation between omic profiles. Whether the node is a target\, a sensor\, or a nucleotide sequence\, the problem of node localization is of central interest in many disciplines of science and technology. In this talk I will provide perspectives on the general node localization problem\, discuss solutions and algorithms\, and address future opportunities and challenges.\n\nBIo:\nAlfred O.

MARTIN MURRAY’S “THE URBANISM OF EXCEPTION” (CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS\, 2017) DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating Prof. Martin Murray’s most recent book\, “The Urbanism of Exception.” He will be speaking informally about the book\, followed by Q&A\, and there will be the opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book. Refreshments will be served.\n\nThe Urbanism of Exception: The Dynamics of Global City Building in the Twenty-First Century (Cambridge University Press\, 2017).\nThis book challenges the conventional (modernist-inspired) understanding of urbanization as a universal process tied to the ideal-typical model of the modern metropolis with its origins in the grand Western experience of city-building. At the start of the twenty-first century\, the familiar idea of the 'city' - or 'urbanism' as we know it - has experienced such profound mutations in both structure and form that the customary epistemological categories and prevailing conceptual frameworks that predominate in conventional urban theory are no longer capable of explaining the evolving patterns of city-making. Global urbanism has increasingly taken shape as vast\, distended city-regions\, where urbanizing landscapes are increasingly fragmented into discontinuous assemblages of enclosed enclaves characterized by global connectivity and concentrated wealth\, on the one side\, and distressed zones of neglect and impoverishment\, on the other. These emergent patterns of what might be called enclave urbanism have gone hand-in-hand with the new modes of urban governance\, where the crystallization of privatized regulatory regimes has effectively shielded wealthy enclaves from public oversight and interference.\n\nBrief Bio: Professor Martin Murray began his academic career as sociologist with a strong foundation in urban geography. His current research engages the fields of urban studies and planning\, global urbanism\, cultural geography\, distressed urbanism\, development\, historical sociology\, and African studies. In addition to six books and three co-edited volumes\, he has produced close to seventy journal articles and book chapters that focus on diverse geographical areas of the world at different historical periods. After his first book on French colonialism in Indochina (University of California Press)\, Professor Murray pursued a deep and abiding interest in the politics of South Africa. He has published two books from an eventual trilogy on Johannesburg: Taming the Disorderly City: The Spatial Landscape of Johannesburg after Aparthreid (Cornell University Press\, 2008)\; City of Extremes: The Spatial Landscape of Johannesburg (Duke University Press\, 22011)\; and Panic City: Crime\, Private Security\, and Extended Security Networks in Johannesburg (under review). He has also published Commemorating and Forgetting: Challenges for the New South Africa (University of Minnesota Press\, 2013).

The Constitution DESCRIPTION:Rajko Grlić\, director. In Croatian with English subtitles (93 min.\, 2016). \n \nFour very different people live in the same building but avoid each other because of differences in how they live their lives\, what they believe in\, and where they come from. They would probably never exchange a word\, but misfortune pushes them towards each other. Their lives entangle in ways that profoundly challenge deep-held beliefs and prejudices surrounding material status\, sexual orientation\, nationality\, and religion. Slowly\, and even painfully\, they begin to open up to each other and recognize the essential humanity each of them possesses.

Homegoing follows the parallel paths of two half-sisters and their descendants through eight generations: from the Gold Coast to the plantations of Mississippi\, from the American Civil War to Jazz Age Harlem.\n\n“We are delighted to welcome Yaa Gyasi to Ann Arbor for the 2018 Jill S. Harris Lecture\,” said Peggy McCracken\, director of the Institute for the Humanities. “Homegoing has found many readers in Ann Arbor and beyond\; it's an engrossing novel that demonstrates the power of fiction to explore the ways in which the past shapes our present.”\n\nThe Jill S. Harris Memorial Endowment was established in 1985 in memory of Jill Harris\, a resident of Chicago and undergraduate student at U-M who passed away due to injuries from an auto accident. Established by Roger and Meredith Harris\, Jill’s parents\, her grandparents Allan and Norma Harris\, and friends\, the fund brings a distinguished visitor to campus each year who will appeal to undergraduate students interested in the humanities and the arts.

Using administrative data from Texas\, I classify schools in which the lowest-performing student subgroup was close to the proficiency threshold for making Adequate Yearly Progress as under accountability pressure. I present evidence that per pupil spending was around $60 higher in schools under accountability pressure after accounting for prior spending. A distributional shift that increased the share of teachers and reduced the share of teaching aides in pressured schools partially account for the higher spending\, as do higher teacher wages. By contrast\, distributional shifts in teaching experience as teachers enter and exit schools do not explain the effect on school expenditure.

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. An assistant professor in painting at the University of Kentucky\, she has shown her artwork in numerous solo and private exhibitions and is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery.

Their work\, although varying in style and form\, speaks to a generation growing up with the influence of mass consumption\, internet shopping\, the glut of plastic toys\, fake jewels\, and tchotchkes. Whereas artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s reached first for paint tubes and canvas\, these artists use inexpensive and lowbrow materials to twist the signifiers of pop culture\, as they relate to gender politics and American ideals. It’s a balancing act between the icing and the cake\, surface and substance. \n\nBarlow’s confection-like constructs are unsettling\, much like an empty float or matted-hair Barbie in a backyard pool. Although enticing\, they allude to something lost in the translation\, some sweetness\, or idealism gone missing\, along with what once mattered. Yet\, the work isn’t cynical\, but embraces transition instead. We’ve hardened a little in the process\, much like the stiff and sugary piping Barlow often incorporates in her works. And maybe that’s a good thing. \n\nIf Barlow’s aesthetic leans towards Stepford Wives gone awry and the guilty pleasure of eBay\, Shaina Kasztelan offers us psychedelic Middle America. Her assemblages are disorienting\, vertigo-inducing. Technicolor sculptures conjure up hallucinations of the mall\, or spinning carnival rides that last too long. Kasztelan’s work is sinister\, even a little menacing. As viewers we are leery.\n\nFinally\, Bailey Scieszka takes this subversive garish ethos full tilt and invents her own world\, literally morphing into her own creation. Scieszka’s alter-ego Old Put\, a demonic shape-shifting clown\, becomes the artist/protagonist and creates work in performance\, video and drawing. Old Put collects pop culture references like artifacts of a lost civilization\, and seems as likely to commit a murder as bake a cake. \n\nFor Barlow\, Kasztelan and Scieszka\, outdated paradigms about class\, good taste\, and femininity are just temporal flashes in the pan. And it’s their party. UID:47322-10866219@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/47322 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Art,Multicultural,Visual Arts LOCATION:202 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. 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.

Following the social and political unrest of the 1960’s Lake emigrated to Montreal in 1968\, where she was among the first female artists in the nation to adopt performance\, video\, and photography to explore the politics of gender\, the body\, and identity.

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.

While correlators of these models admit a conventional genus expansion of the worldsheet\, the amplitudes actually localize on the maximal non-separating degeneration. We explore this simplification at two loops for type II supergravity\, concluding in several observations for generic massless field theories.

Sold in cheap diners\, strip mall buffets\, and P.F. Chang's\, this dish is a staple of contemporary American life. But critics charge that this dish is bad\, epitomizing everything that is wrong with American Chinese food. Greasy\, sweet\, and MSG-laden\, sweet-and-sour pork is a distortion of \"real\" Chinese cooking\, arguably more American than Chinese. In this talk\, I will challenge current views of sweet-and-sour pork by situating this dish within a history of cross-cultural contact and exchange. Through a mouth-watering tour of early modern Chinese meat stews and fried things\, I will also reconsider popular assumptions about culinary authenticity and argue that you should once again relish your sweet-and-sour pork - without shame.

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:48737-11297782@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:20180207T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20180207T170000 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.

All of these groups emulated the Black Panther Party because each group believed that their struggle as poor\, underserved and oppressed people was aligned with the struggle of black people throughout the world. More importantly\, the power of the liberation struggle led by the Black Panther Party in the US that impacted the struggles of poor and oppressed people in Europe\, the South Pacific\, the Middle East\, and Asia has been understudied for far too long.\n\nJakobi Williams’ research interests are centered on questions of resistance and social justice revolutions found within the African American community. His most recent book\, From the Bullet to the Ballot: The Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party and Racial Coalition Politics in Chicago\, demonstrates that Chicago’s Black Power movement was both a response to and extension of the city’s civil rights movement. Williams is a recipient of the National Endowment for the Humanities grant\, the National Humanities Center Fellowship\, and the Big Ten Academic Alliance-Academic Leadership Program.

Although several explanations have been offered to account for this polarization\, I argue that something else is at fault: the decline of leadership among the heads of large American corporations. Through its relative moderation and pragmatism\, the corporate elite helped to keep extremist elements at bay during the post-World War II period\, an era of historically low inequality and high economic growth. In the 1970s\, however\, these elites\, facing a major crisis\, allied themselves with the far right groups they had previously shunned. Although this allowed large corporations to achieve several goals\, it opened the way for extremists to gain control of the Republican Party. In aligning itself with traditional conservatives\, the corporate elite created a situation that it can no longer control. The result is the political extremism that we observe today.
