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.

Students practice taking short sections of the test\, and are relaxed and well-rested\, so they are able to absorb the lessons and practice at their best.

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. See how light and color can help us spot a living world\, even from great distances. Living Worlds encourages us to consider how a deeper understanding of our own planet can aid in the search for life across the cosmos\, and to reflect on ways we can partner with our living world to ensure our continued survival.  Narrated by Daveed Diggs. \nWatch the trailer here! \nTickets for planetarium programs are $9 for Adults\, $8 for 91 Students/Veterans/Senior Citizens\, and $7 for children under 12.

Inspired by astronomical data the images are intended as a starting point for the audience’s imagination. The focus of this iteration has been on the three background cycles (Milankovitch Cycles) that govern our planet’s orbital alignment and seasonal changes. \nTom Luther is a performer\, composer\, improviser and audio-visual artist. His work ranges from solo and small group acoustic music to computer based interactive video projects. He draws on his experience in Western European art music\, jazz\, and modern composition styles to create a unique hybrid language.
