Right? Wrong! This image of America as an experiment crowds out recognition of the many ways the American Founding and its creation of a republican form of government were the antithesis of experimentation\, grounding its political and moral principles instead in time-tested customs\, rituals\, and institutions embedded in the constitutional heritage of England and the ethical texture of Christian civilization. America\, properly understood\, is not a product of experimentation but a product of inheritance. The point is not to rehash the “rights of Englishmen versus natural rights” or “creed versus cultures” debates\, but to show how the deluge of overtures to the American “experiment” in light of the Semiquincentennial distorts Americans’ political psychology. A modest proposal\, then: Before we call America an experiment\, let’s first call it an inheritance. \nGregory M.

The method uses Langlands correspondences and works (in principle) for all weights k. The pattern leads to a proof of the zig-zag conjecture. \nThe plan is to: \n1) State the main theorem about the alternating pattern\n2) Introduce the Iwahori mod p Local Langlands Correspondence\n3) Introduce some classical facts about p-adic functions on Q_p\n4) Use these facts to define certain GL_2(Q_p)-Banach spaces\n5) Show how to reduce these Banach spaces to prove the theorem. \nThis will be a teaching style series of talks mostly at the master’s level. \nReferences:\n1.

From the forests that help stabilize our climate\, to the winds carrying life-sustaining water and oxygen to far-flung parts of the globe\, the fingerprints of life are visible even from many light years away. Journey through space and time to examine life as an essential quality of our home planet Earth. Explore of the co-evolution of life and the ways it has transformed Earth’s surface and atmosphere over billions of years.
