examine one place in a vacuum, without context,” she said. The symposium will attempt to answer a wide range of questions about the qualities and constitution of resilience, including: What intrinsic and/or extrinsic factors contribute to resilience? Are there cultural, social, economic and environmental factors that can contribute to, or impede, the efforts of the most vulnerable to overcome adversity? Can resilience be “built” or “learned”? How helpful is it to develop resilience-based policies? The

samples need to spin inside the magnet at nearly the speed of sound to get the best data. The spectrometer contains a series of chambers, with the outside chamber forming a vacuum jacket. The outer chamber is then filled with liquid nitrogen, which is at a temperature of minus 321 degrees Fahrenheit. Inside the chamber, a superconducting magnet sits in a broth of liquid helium, which is even colder, at minus 452 degrees Fahrenheit, or just a few degrees above the lowest known temperature in the

convinced. Senior Andrea Calcagno believes that’s because global climate change isn’t really affecting the average American yet. While temperatures may be a bit warmer and the snowfall a bit less, the nation as a whole hasn’t experienced any drastic consequence. “I would say a lot of people don’t take climate change as seriously as it needs to be taken,” she said. During the first part of J-Term, ambassadors talked with their friends and family to determine what the general pubic knows about the topic

March 24, 2011 PLU night at the Tacoma Rainiers August is one of the most beautiful months in the Pacific Northwest. August evenings provide beautiful sunsets, warm temperatures and Tacoma Rainiers baseball. PLU Night at the Rainiers started several years ago as a way to celebrate our PLU community and the end of summer. In 2010, 250 Lutes enjoyed an evening at the ballpark. August 12 marks the date of this year’s end-of-summer bash, PLU Night at the Rainiers. For only $10 a person

chemistry than they think. Like cooks, chemists choose and measure ingredients, modify recipes, adjust cooking times and temperatures, and test the end results. Constructing and deconstructing food is chemistry. “It is a way to tone down the science and make it accessible.” For instance, anyone who stops by his office is likely to get a noseful. Lytle likes to get his guests to sniff two different molecules built from two isoprene molecules each – pinene and limonene. At the molecular level pinene and

Carnegie Mellon ChemE MS Application Extended! Posted by: alemanem / June 1, 2020 June 1, 2020 The Carnegie Mellon ChemE MS application is extended to June 15th! The Master’s programs in Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University are evolving to meet the changing needs of students in the face of current world events. CMU ChemE is a world leader in computational education and research, and now more than ever, the techniques we’ve developed for computational learning set our students up

at the “New York Academy of Art,” a figurative graduate school in Manhattan that teaches traditional techniques in figurative drawing, painting and sculpture.  The residency started in the beginning of June and lasted a month. There were 11 residents, mostly juniors from all over the world. During the residency we had classes in figure drawing from live models and lessons in painting the figure. We also had several guided tours to the major museums and galleries in the city. What has the
