November 5, 2017 Dell Deaton

Oldsmobile Toronado, 1966, on display at DIA

New DIA exhibition surveys seventy years of automobile design in terms of cultural influences and aesthetics

November 12, 2020
Up to the 1970s, America had a growing passion for automobiles. A leading authority characterized origins in the late 1800s as follows. “With these new types of personal transportation, ordinary people could choose where and when they traveled and who came along for the ride.” [1] Between those periods, image took precedence, reaching an apogee in the 1950s. A scant decade and so later, a young lawyer named Ralph Nader put helped put safety in the ....
FIRST Robotics Competition World Championship in Detroit

FIRST Robotics Competition World Championship gets real at Cobo Center in Detroit as 2019 season showcases winners

April 26, 2019
On January 5 of this year, FIRST Robotics Competition launch of “Destination: Deep Space” felt like a leap of faith. [1,2] Field of play was no more than a two-minute animation. Rules for scoring a seeming tossed salad of words in a 129-page instruction manual. Physical robots were not yet to the point where they could be hopefully viewed as vaguely imaginative flights of fancy. [3,4] They say that high school teams just like ours ....

December 20, 2019
Measuring ninety-four feet wide and forty feet tall, the new 4K Super EMAX screen at Emagine Theatre in Canton credibly holds title as largest in Michigan, as of its official ribbon-cutting last night. [1-5] Fittingly, guests took their seats to see Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker at the close of ceremonies. [6] And yet, impressive as the technical specifications above clearly read, along with what could be said about the incredible Dolby Atmos ....

October 13, 2017
According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), “Back pain remains one of the most prevalent and disabling conditions worldwide. It is one of the most common reasons that patients visit their doctors, and one of the most common conditions for which doctors prescribe opioid pain medications.” [1] Saline is now even better equipped to help people with this, with the formal ribbon-cutting at Steadfast Chiropractic yesterday evening in The Oaks Plaza on East Michigan Avenue. ....

“Jeghetto’s Workshop” string-puppet performances at DIA were precision mechanics, energy, and amazement

February 23, 2020
Imagine a circus. [1,2] At first, the juggler. Maybe animals, performing – some in confined spaces, others given free reign of literally any area to which a beast might feel attracted on a whim. This one honestly described as “cute,” the next in its way ferocious, striking fear in even the most brave of onlooker hearts. And of course, the flying trapeze acts. Now imagine all of the above and more, channeled through a show featuring ....
