of physics Katrina Hay. “It requires long exposures or stacked images, focusing in cold dark conditions, climbing a ladder to access the telescope, tracking objects as they move across the sky, and merging several color-filtered images to make a full-color image. Then the physics begins! Our students optimize these skills to capture the best images for use in their investigations- observing dynamics, temperatures, and luminosity of celestial objects,” Hay concluded.

to capture the best images for use in their investigations- observing dynamics, temperatures, and luminosity of celestial objects,” Hay concluded. Seeing Stars:Dr. O'Neill is assembling the 3D-printed Bahtinov Mask, unique for PLU's telescope. The mask makes focusing the telescope on a star easier before image capture.Mentorship:O'Neill looks on while interns discuss celestial image processing. Kop is making light curves, showing how the brightness of several variable stars changes over time

review many of the innovations and inventors that are transforming our world. As a student of Innovation Studies here at PLU, I find it intriguing to review these diverse innovations each year and consider how they came to be. As we include different artistic, historical, ethical, and business perspectives in our coursework, it is fascinating to see how these dynamics have worked together in industry and shaped society. Many of the social innovations have made a lasting, positive impact in the world

harmonic color of Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, and Artie Shaw; we like the fun of Fats Waller and the theatricality of Cab Calloway; and we like being a team, playing together as one with dynamics and esprit d’ corps. We are delighted to return this season and bring the rhythm of hot dance bands and the romance of music ‘under the stars’.Learn MoreJULY 14: Keith Henson OctetThe Keith Henson Octet is an eight piece, five horn band featuring arrangements of jazz and popular danceable and

those things have been over time,” he explains. “An analysis of innovation should look at human communities, economic issues, art & design, ethics, technology, and more. If you examine these elements in an interdisciplinary way, you can really assess the dynamics of change in society.” Halvorson teaches business and economic history courses in the history department, as well as classes on innovation and the history of technology. He has also continued publishing books, including the lively new

I have seen the face of poverty and heard the cries of AIDS. I have looked into hungry eyes and better understand the dynamics of food distribution. I have been enlightened about a different way of life and an interestingly new diet. I have learned the click language of the San people and moved to the steps of the

– at least in any direct way. For we could not change the dynamics of global trade which have caused a kind of forced migration of men from these communities. Nor could we take any action against the violence that these communities have suffered at the hands of Mexican national traditions and political structures. Instead, the most productive role we could play was to bear witness to the stories we heard. That is, our responsibility lay in the United States, not in Mexico. For the problems

into feeling a disproportionate amount of guilt for his marriage with Lucy before her affair with Lennox. But the largest perpetrator in the series–to the degree that even Lennox condemns him as a “disgrace”–is, unsurprisingly, Edward Denham. The prevalence of this theme throughout the second season comes at a ripe time in online discourse around the topic of “gaslighting.” It is helpful as a clear representation of not only how it can occur between all manner of people and gender dynamics, but

ratio from one year to the next are important priorities. Equally important is serving a student population that reflects the diverse population of our immediate surrounding communities, from which the majority of our students are drawn. These priorities operate in concert and also must not be decoupled from the priority and dynamics of student retention. As part of the campus-wide conversation on our philosophy of enrollment, I recently discussed this issue at a Program Leaders meeting and asked

understanding the contentious dynamics around updating Austen and Austen as always already up to date. The animating question he asks as he delves into Jane Austen: Secret Radical (2016), The Making of Jane Austen (2017), and Teenage Writings (2017) is: “Do we read Austen to flee modernity, or to see it clearly?” Two distinct answers present themselves in his telling. The first is to “read her as her contemporaries might have—to deprettify the novels and show her immersion in the world, with all its
