...Japan. IIIZ+ performed a free concert on Wednesday, Oct. 17 in the Tsai Auditorium at the Center for Government and International Studies.The zither is a large stringed instrument used in East Asian music; with or without frets, it is something like a cross between a lap guitar and a harp. IIIZ+ combines zithers from China, Japan, and Korea, along with a changgu, a type of Korean drum. The zithers featured in Wednesday’s show were about five feet long and made of various woods.More than just combining zithers from three different geographical locations, the ensemble aims...
...unnecessary musical number: Pratt swaggers down the stairs, belting a vapid tune from the balustrade. When the camera zooms in, it delivers the final nail in the coffin and buries the film alive.

It's a neat trick, and it leaves you certain that it won't be long before lots of people are singing along...
While Faust’s gender is an important indicator of the drastic changes the institution of the president has undergone, it is reductive to harp on it too much; its not what earned her the accolade, and it certainly isn’t what will decide the success of her term. If anything is to be learned from her predecessors, it is that the president’s personal attributes are secondary to his or her ability to respond to the needs of the community...
