Pentley musical performance
2018-07-08 17:00 - 19:00 | Boulder Coffee, South Wedge, 100 Alexander St., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
Phillpsburg New Jersey native, Pentley Holmes is truly that rare artist whose work achieves both technical and emotional brilliance. A self taught guitarist, pianist, and vocalist, Pentley is as well-rounded musically as they come. Pentley's background in creative writing allows him to unite his musical talent with an authentic expression of what it means to be alive. Not only the nephew of the inspirational heavyweight boxing champion Larry Holmes, Pentley is a fighter in his own right. In 2009 he survived a typically lethal ruptured brain aneurysm. His survival and recovery after 15 days in ICU only furthered his inborn passion for life and his place in the world as a musician. Pentley's debut album "Rip Out My Heart," offers a beautifully rendered glimpse into the depths of these human experiences. Pentley's signature blend of contemporary folk and soul pop make his music as easy on the ear as it is on the heart. With new music forthcoming and the daring boldness to dream, Pentley is undoubtedly one to watch.

Featuring new interviews with a host of show business luminaries including Billy Crystal, Norman Lear, Jerry Lewis and Whoopi Goldberg, this delightful film is loaded with dazzling footage of Davis as dancer, singer and impressionist.

Most of us have heard of the Kindertransport, the program that saved thousands of Jewish children during the WWII. But few have heard of a key player in its success, Wilfrid Israel, a wealthy Jewish businessman and owner of Berlin's largest department store in the 1930s. Although Israel knew some of the 20th Century's most influential people, including Albert Einstein, he seems to have vanished from history. Filmmaker Yonatan Nir set out to discover why, and the quest quickly became surprisingly personal. A history lesson in the shape of a mystery, The Essential Link is a riveting experience.

Distinguished Research Seminar in Data Science: Dustin Tingley—Causal Inference through the Method of Direct Estimation
2018-07-10 12:00 - 13:00 | University of Rochester River Campus, Intercampus Dr. & Library Rd., Rochester, New York, 14611, United States
The UofR will host a Distinguished Research Seminar in Data Science lecture by Dustin Tingley titled Causal Inference through the Method of Direct Estimation in Auditorium 1400 of Wegmans Hall.
Multivariate regression has been the go-to method for data analysis for generations of scholars. While transparent and interpretable, with desirable theoretical properties, the method's simplicity precludes the discovery of complex heterogeneities in the data. We introduce a method that embraces these potential complexities, is interpretable, has desirable theoretical guarantees, and is tailored to causal effect estimation. The proposed method uses a machine learning regression methodology to estimate the observation-level effect of a treatment variable, for either a binary, categorical, or continuous treatment. We illustrate with an instrumental variable analysis, estimating interesting heterogeneities in both the first and second stage. We also use our theoretical results to estimate observations for which the treatment is not impacted by the instrument, for which no causal effect is identified. Along the way we provide multiple pedagogic introductions to new concepts from the machine learning literature.

The documentary consists of interviews with high profile women directors including Ava Duvernay, Jill Soloway, Lena Dunham, Catherine Hardwicke and Miranda July, and many others, discussing their early careers, how they transitioned to studio films or television, how they balance having a demanding directing career with family, and challenges and joys along the way.

Though haunted by memories of his family, hustler David Bermann (Bleibtreu) is determined to eke out a living in his battle-scarred homeland. With a jaunty klezmerstyle score and Yiddish-inflected dialogue, this fresh historical perspective is an utterly engaging salute to European Jews who chose to tough-out painful memories and reclaim their lives.

Filled with stirring performances and interviews with friends, family and colleagues, this globe-trotting biography is a magnificent tribute to an artistic virtuoso and true believer in the international language of music.

Central to the tour's visuals were the Drones, which flew autonomously above the stage and across the audience, alongside giant projections which interacted with the band members on stage. This spectacle, featuring Leds and lasers perfectly complimented the band's celebrated repertoire. Key songs performed on the tour included "Psycho", "Madness", "Uprising", "Plug in Baby", "Supermassive Black Hole" and Knights of Cydonia." Filmed and recorded over multiple shows the concert movie includes never before seen special effects along with an exclusive insight from the band in the introduction.
