Traveling is an expensive endeavor, so you'll want to save money where you can. Cheap eats abound in any city, but how do you know you're not sacrificing quality for a lower price? The following list of cheap Vienna restaurants are all recommendations from Vienna locals. With this list, you can get a taste of the city without breaking the bank.
The Pie Factory serves both sweet and savory pies, which make a very affordable lunch or dinner. Their pies range from €4.80 to €5.10 and come in flavors like steak and Guinness, and Thai chicken curry. There are also vegetarian options. Depending on your appetite, you might find the portions a bit small, but you could add a small soup or salad to supplement your meal.
Kent is the cheapest option on this list, but they definitely do not sacrifice quality to offer affordable food. In fact, this Turkish restaurant serves the best kebabs in Vienna, and there are plenty of varieties for both meat-lovers and vegetarians. Their most popular dish, the döner kebab sandwich, only costs €3.
If you're one of those people who has trouble deciding what to order, Kostlich is for you. Their menu only has two main courses each day—one vegan and one vegetarian—and they go for €6.90. Their dishes tend to have an international flair, and they're always different, so you can come back for lunch the next day and try something new.
The name means "For Black Sheep." This eatery buys the foods that are too ugly to be sold in supermarkets—the black sheep, so to speak—and turns them into delicious lunches. They have a small menu, and their special changes each day. Prices range from €7.40 to €8.90.
If you have a big appetite, or you want to stretch one meal into two, check out Centimeter. This restaurant is famous for their massive portions, and the prices are very reasonable, considering the amount of food you get. The most expensive items on the menu are actually meant for more than one person. You can order a wheelbarrow of meat for €42; the menu suggests you split it amongst four people.
Harvest is a vegetarian restaurant with plenty of vegan options. Even people who aren't vegan or vegetarian are wowed by these plant-based plates. Sandwiches and burgers range from €7.70 to €8.80, and the entrees range from €9.80 to €11.90. They also have a delicious weekend brunch menu.
Yup, the name is actually just Ethiopian Restaurant—at least that's easy to remember. One of the great things about Vienna is that it provides you with the opportunity to travel to other places without spending more money on plane fare. Here, you can get a taste of Ethiopia. And an entree for one person only costs €7.50.
Schweizerhaus (The Swiss House) is a meat lover's paradise. They're famous for their pork knuckle, which costs €17.80. You might think that's out of your price range, but the serving massive: a whole kilo of pork. Bring a few friends to share it with, order some sides, and the cost will be less than €10 per person.
Here's something you probably haven't seen before: a restaurant based entirely on apple and potato dishes. Jonathon and Sieglinde are actually popular varieties of apples and potatoes, respectively. With such affordable ingredients, everything on the menu is affordable. All the items on their rotating lunch menu cost €7.50 or less, and you can order dinner for less than €10.
Purple Eat is both an eatery and an advocacy organization. All of the chefs are asylum seekers residing in Austria. Purple Eat provides them with a place to work, since they cannot be formally employed while their asylum applications are under review. These chefs serve cuisine from their home countries, so you can eat around the world without ever leaving this restaurant. An entree is only €7, and all the money goes to support the chefs.
Depending on your diet, and how long you're staying in Vienna, these ten restaurants could last you for your whole trip. When you know exactly where to go for affordable meals, anything is possible.

Berhampur: Four child labourers were rescued from a hotel in Ganjam district on Sunday, police said.
The children hailed from Bihar and efforts were on to send them back to their families in Sitamarhi district, they said.
Acting on a tip-off, a raid was carried out at the hotel and the children, in the age group of nine to 14 years, were rescued by officials of the Labour Department, the police and activists of Childline India.
"The children were produced before the district Child Welfare Committee (CWC). As per the directives of the CWC, the children are housed at a child care institution at Sorada," said Childline, Berhampur centre coordinator, Sai Prasad Samal.
Claiming that the children were here for the last several months and lived in hazardous condition, Samal said, they worked for over 12 hours daily.
District Labour Officer (DLO), Berhampur, Babu Charan Patra said, show-cause notice would be issued to the owner of the hotel.
We will issue the show cause to the hotel owner before taking any strong action against him, he said.
Assistant Labour Officer (ALO), Bhanjanagar, Brundaban Sethi recorded the statements of the rescued children.

SO-CHIC
As far as our eyes reach, there is nothing else to see than the dark blue of the water and the sky, blended with different shades of white. We are in the Southern Ocean, standing on the deck of the S.A. Agulhas II, watching birds flying by and the ship breaking its way through the thick sea ice. On the horizon, a wall of pure ice appears. This is the edge of Antarctica, where the Southern Ocean ends and the white continent starts. Watching this beautiful and untouched landscape makes us forget about the four weeks of quarantine we spent in a hotel room in Cape Town before embarking on the ship on the 1st of January 2022. At the same time, our surroundings remind us of the importance of this expedition which is part of "SO-CHIC", a large EU-project about the Southern Ocean's heat and carbon uptake led by the French oceanographer Jean-Baptiste Sallée Oceanographer at the LOCEAN laboratory in Paris.
The SO-CHIC project cruise team
An expedition to the heart of the Southern Ocean
When talking about climate change, we typically think about the increase in air temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events that cover the news all over the globe. But that is actually only one small piece of a complex puzzle. We need to look beneath the ocean surface to understand the impact of increased carbon emissions due to human activities. The Southern Ocean is the main regulator of the excess heat and carbon in the atmosphere. It plays a disproportionately large role compared to other oceans around the world, storing up to 75% of all heat and up to 50% of all carbon. And yet, most of the Southern Ocean remains unobserved, leaving behind a large knowledge gap about the processes linked to heat and carbon exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. The lack of observations increases the challenge of capturing the complex climate system with numerical climate models. These models are used to simulate future responses to climate change, but outcomes are constrained by the limited amount of existing observations. Thus, projecting changes in the Southern Ocean is among the most challenging tasks for climate models.
The goal of our expedition is to collect observations from a key region of the Southern Ocean that has an increased exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean, a so-called polynya region. Polynyas are large openings in the sea ice that expose the ocean to the atmosphere. Such an opening in the sea ice has occurred in certain years above the underwater mountain Maud Rise. During our expedition, we sailed to this largely unexplored area off the Antarctic coast to take measurements directly from the ship and to deploy instruments in the ocean that continue measuring ocean and atmospheric properties over several months and years.
A long-lasting quarantine
Room in Cape Town hotel
We were 11 scientists, engineers and flight crew confined to our hotel rooms in Cape Town for two weeks of quarantine before embarking the S.A. Agulhas II in Antarctica. Due to Covid, the cruise had already been postponed by one year. Only huge administrative efforts and international collaborations have made it possible to organize this alternative cruise to the Southern Ocean one year later. In the meanwhile, scientists of the project used climate models to simulate the unobserved areas of the ocean that are to be explored during the expedition. These computer simulations are based on observations in order to provide more realistic results and the modelers were therefore excited about the cruise to go ahead. After deciding what measurements were needed, scientists and engineers worked together to prepare the instruments and calibrate the sensors to ensure a high quality of data.
Once the two weeks of total isolation had passed, we couldn't wait to fly to Antarctica. But then we received a disappointing text message: Strong storms over Antarctica did not allow any landing on the continent… This meant an extension of the quarantine until the storms had ceased and until the ship—already at the coast of Antarctica—had managed to break its way through thick sea ice that the strong winds had pushed towards the coast. Suddenly, we found ourselves celebrating Christmas alone in our hotel rooms, while negotiations were made to ensure logistics and science could both go ahead as planned.
Finally, we met on the last day of 2021 at the Cape Town airport, ready to take off for Antarctica to collect measurements in this unexplored area of the polynya. Excited to arrive on the ship, we were hopeful that 2022 would be the year for an extensive collection of interesting data.
An unexpected journey through Antarctica
Antarctica is a very special and beautiful continent. The trip to the ship was unreal and made us realize the remoteness of the continent. Two weeks of delay due to extreme weather conditions is not an exception for trips to Antarctica. Our plane brought us to Wolf's Fang, a tourist camp surrounded by stunning mountains and endless white, where we spent 8 hours before continuing taking another short flight to the South African Antarctic research station SANAE. We just arrived in time for the countdown into the New Year together with the overwintering team of the research base. We only got a glimpse of their life in pure solitude, before our journey continued to the edge of the ice shelf where we finally embarked the S.A. Agulhas II.
After the delays, all the uncertainties regarding the cruise, and 28h of travelling through Antarctica, we were utterly relieved to finally see the ship docked to the ice shelf, ready to welcome us. We were excited to start working and went straight into preparing the laboratories and all the instruments that we were going to deploy in the Southern Ocean. We were glad to get some time to familiarize ourselves with the facilities, while SANAE was prepared for the next overwintering team.
The ship Agulhas II moored to the ice pack
Measuring the ocean
What exactly did we do on the ship besides watching the ship cutting through the sea ice and clumsy penguins sliding on the ice? Once we reached our study site over the underwater mountain Maud Rise, we all had to work hard during the day and night to collect as much high-quality data as possible.
One of the main tasks was to conduct CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) – measurements that provide information on the salinity, temperature, oxygen and primary productivity throughout the whole water column. These profiles are taken in short distance from each other to provide knowledge on the ocean properties along a transect through areas of interest, in our case across the slopes of Maud Rise.
While these measurements are only taken at one point in time, we were also able to deploy various autonomous instruments in the ocean that were being left behind to record ocean properties over a longer time period.
One example of such instruments are gliders. They are small autonomous vehicles that are controlled remotely to follow specific patterns over months. They are programmed to dive from the surface to about 1000m depth and back to the surface again, where communication happens. Another autonomous instrument we deployed was an uncrewed surface vehicle. This instrument samples in synergy with the diving glider, taking measurements of the surface ocean and atmospheric conditions above the glider. Other instruments that we use to collect measurements drift with the ocean currents either floating at the surface (drifters) or diving at different depths (Argo floats). In addition, we deployed instruments that are anchored to the ocean floor and thus stay at the same location over several months or years.
Preparation of measuring instruments
The different instruments mainly measure temperature and salinity, but also ocean currents, the amount of carbon and oxygen, primary production, sea ice thickness, and fluxes to the atmosphere. One strength of these observations is to combine all their data to understand this region in a new way. This means that our exciting work just starts when we get off the ship. The data will continue rolling in and the different pieces of the puzzle will be put together step by step.
Revealing the secrets of the Southern Ocean
After our intensive work over the Maud Rise area, it was time to pick up the last overwinterers from the South African research station and head back north to Cape Town. We used the transit time across the Southern Ocean to gather all the collected data, to have a first look at the measurements, and to write a cruise report that will serve as a user manual for anyone interested in working with the data. These observations form the basis for future studies within the SO-CHIC project, as they quantify the heat and carbon exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean in the sea ice-covered Southern Ocean. The expedition was a great success since it will considerably extend the network of observational data. In combination with historical observations, the time series taken by the deployed instruments will provide an insight into changes in carbon and heat uptake over time and the processes behind these changes.
Additionally, the data will help to validate computer models that try to reproduce the occurrence of the polynya within the sea ice. These models help to better understand why a polynya occurs and how it impacts the storage of heat and carbon in the Southern Ocean. The observations combined with the models will reveal some of the secrets of the Southern Ocean that are hidden beneath the surface and covered by sea ice during most of the year.
"It is striking that it is only relatively recently that field observations of this remote part of the planet have been established, because of the impressive challenges in getting and working there. At a time where the cruise that followed our expedition on the icebreaker Agulhas II is bringing home groundbreaking images of the wreck of Shackleton's ship, one the early explorer of the Southern Ocean, we are reminded of the challenges to explore this region of the world, and of the incommensurate risks taken by our ancestors to start exploring and observing this region of the world. Our cruise has humbly continued the early efforts to reveal Southern Ocean mysteries, and slowly pursued to uncover the large parts of this ocean that still today remain unexplored, some almost unreachable."

Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie
Documentary. With Wavy Gravy, Ram Dass, Dr. Larry Brilliant and Michael Lang. Directed by Michelle Esrick. (Not rated. 87 minutes. At the Red Vic in San Francisco and the Shattuck in Berkeley.)
Watch the beginning of "Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie," and it's easy to expect the hippie icon to step out of character at any moment. Nobody could possibly be this upbeat all of the time - equally enthusiastic whether he's serving breakfast in bed to 400,000 at Woodstock or buying some hot dogs in Berkeley.
Michelle Esrick's documentary about the former Hugh Romney captures the charming, compassionate and occasionally exhausting sides of the man, from his early adult years as a New York poet to his daily routine as the head of a 40-year-old commune in Berkeley. The straightforward approach doesn't always match the subject matter, but there's plenty of interesting material - especially for younger viewers who know more about the counterculture icon's Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor than his artistic contributions and philanthropic work. Esrick spent 10 years on the film, and the result is a comprehensive portrait.
It begins with the poet at home, asking a long list of gods to "bless this day as it transpires, and let me be the best Wavy Gravy I can muster." The film is strongest when he's closer to home, where Gravy is comfortable interacting with members of his commune, and still in love with his wife of more than four decades.
Gravy and his family aren't the least bit self-conscious, and the fun is in the details. Esrick clearly likes her subject, but also shows the $50 receipt from Ben & Jerry's, where the icon regularly cashes in the lifetime supply of free ice cream that comes with his position. Later, she interviews his son, who explains why as a teen he changed his name from Howdy Dogood to the less flower power-y Jordan.
Visits to Gravy's kids camp and accounts of his overseas travels are also enjoyable. Children on camera remark that all kinds of kids are welcome in the clown's Camp Winna-Rainbow tepees - even a Republican!
The film is less successful during an occasionally plodding middle section, a chronological history which often feels like a film version of his Wikipedia entry. The commune's beginnings are interesting, but the facts are already widely known. It's much more interesting to see how the same commune functions four decades down the road.
"Saint Misbehavin' " is a tribute to Wavy Gravy, but Esrick makes a convincing point that he's more than deserving of the attention. "It's nice to have fun, so we worked at it," he says in the middle of the film. It's a lesson many viewers will take to heart.
-- Advisory: This film contains strong language and some mature themes.
"Saint Misbehavin' " filmmaker Michelle Esrick and Wavy Gravy will answer questions tonight after the 7:15 and 9:15 shows at the Red Vic in San Francisco and on Saturday after the 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. shows at the Shattuck in Berkeley.

Leaving the city was eventful the traffic was horrendous and due to where the fan mounting bolts sat i couldn't install the thermostat for the fan meaning we were at a massive risk of overheating which in about 20 minutes of bumper to bumper traffic thats what happened. We even put the heating on full to hopefully take some heat out of the system.
We needed to get out of Almati quickly and soon enough traffic began to flow and the engine settled down.


COAT Tools is a method development project, consisting of several PhD projects. Its main objective is the "Methodological advancement of Climate-ecological Observatory for Arctic Tundra". Four interdisciplinary PhD projects (projects 1-4) are funded by one of the Thematic Commitments of UiT The Arctic University of Norway within the theme "Energy, Climate, Society and Environment". Additional three PhD projects in ecology (projects 5-7) are funded by the Tromsø Research Foundation.
The first project is a collaboration between the Department of Physics and Technology and NINA, and aims at developing methods based on new satellite sensors that can be used to infer vegetation state and its changes, particularly at the ecotone between forest and tundra. Phd-student: Jørgen Andreas Agersborg.
The second project, is a collaboration between the Departments of Computer Science and Arctic and Marine Biology. Its aims are to make data collection through networks of sensors (such as camera traps or audio recordings) more efficient, and to develop high performance but robust processors at the sensor units to allow direct communication. Phd-student: Mike Murphy.
The third project, is a collaboration between the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Arctic and Marine Biology. Data collected by the different COAT modules aim at assessing the relative effects of climate, management and endogenous dynamics on ecosystem changes. This project will develop Bayesian statistical methods to implement dynamic models of these effects and their interactions. Phd-student: Pedro Da Silva Nicolau.
4) Research-based activities in natural science education.
The fourth project, is a collaboration between the Departments of Education and Arctic and Marine Biology. While research-based activities in schools are increasingly popular, both as "outreach" and as "citizen science", we need to investigate systematically how the impacts of both aspects can be jointly maximized. This project will assess how new technologies can help at the interface between natural science research and education. Phd-student: Ingrid Jensvoll.
Digital acoustic sensors represent a new and promising methodology in the context of research and monitoring of terrestrial arctic biodiversity. Compared to conventional census methods (i.e. manual recordings made by people in the field), automatic acoustic sensors can alleviate a number of the logistical, technical and environmental challenges. However, while acoustic sensors have a great potential to improve on the quantification of state variable that are central to COAT science modules, there are several tasks that need to be completed before this technology can be fully operational. This project will convert raw acoustic sensor data to operational ecological state variables, Calibrate automatic sensor-based state variables against manually recorded variables, and develop protocols for observation systems based on the acoustic sensors. Phd-student: Marita Anti Strømeng.
Aerial photography with drones (unmanned aerial vehicles [UAV]) gives unique possibilities for measurements of several of COAT's state variables that are more efficient/area-extensive, less environmentally intrusive than manual measurements on ground, and more precise/high-resolution than images from manned aircrafts and satellites. Drone technology holds promise to fill many of the needs of landscape-scale research on tundra ecosystems. However, yet there are no routine protocols for acquiring, processing and analyzing drone areal imagery data for this purpose. This project will convert aerial drone photography to operational ecological state variables, calibrate drone-based state variables against ground-based measurements and remote sensing, and develop protocols for observation systems based drones. Phd-student: Isabell Eischeid.
We have recently developed a new camera trap that is able to continuously record the activity of small mammals (shrews, lemmings, voles, weasels, ermine) in tundra ecosystems throughout the year; including winter under the snow. However, several remaining tasks need to be completed before the sensors can fulfil their potential. This project will convert raw optical sensor data to operational ecological state variables, calibrate automatic sensor-based state variables against manually recorded variables, and develop protocols for observation systems based on ground-based optical sensors. PhD-student: Eivind Flittie Kleiven.
COAT Tools involve scientific partners from 3 Faculties at The Arctic University of Norway (UiT), Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), Norwegian Polar Institute, and Aarhus University.

Q: Django: Including standard User table as foreign key in my models? I am designing a Django 1.8 application in which I have the concept of trials and assessors. I will have six assessors, who will use the Django admin to log in and make assessments.
I want each trial to have two attached assessors. How can I use the Django User model in models.py to ensure that the assessors are Users, and can be managed using the full power of Users?
Right now I have this, in which the assessors are not Users, but are just ordinary models:
class Assessor(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

class Trial(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=800)
    publication_date = models.DateField()
    first_assessor = models.ForeignKey(assessor)
    second_assessor = models.ForeignKey(assessor)

I want the assessors to be Users, so that I can manage them in the usual way through the User tables, but I don't know how to make this change.
They probably don't need any custom fields on top of the standard User attributes.
(NB: I don't need full-on permissions management within the admin, it's OK for any assessor to be able to edit the trial.)
UPDATE: Apologies, this is rather hard to explain! I don't care about the Django front-end at all, only the admin. I want a user to be able to log into the admin, see all the trials on which they are a primary assessor, and edit those trials. I'm not sure if it's best to do this with the User model, or not.

A: Instead of two foreign keys add a manytomany relation from Trail to user. Later, if you want you can add more assessors to a trail.
You can do like:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Trial(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=800)
    publication_date = models.DateField()
    assessors = models.ManyToManyField(User,related_name="trials")

You can add assessors to Trial like:
trial = Trial.objects.get(id=give-trial-id)
user = User.objects.get(id=give-assessor-id)
trail.assessors.add(user)

You can get more info about manytomany here
I just saw your UPDATE. Any one who logs in to admin will have access to all objects of all models.
In your case all assessors who login to admin will have access to all trails irrespective of they are assigned to it or not.
If you want Filter django admin by logged in user then refer this question

As the launch of the Galaxy S23 series is getting closer, we are getting more details about the phones in the lineup. Today, we have one more leak, and it comes from tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce). According to a tweet by the tipster, still photos captured in the Night Mode with the Galaxy S23 Ultra will look extremely bright as if the phone has "night vision."
The Galaxy S22 Ultra has very good low-light camera performance. However, recently launched devices like the Vivo X90 Pro+ give Samsung a tough fight in low-light situations, thanks to their bigger (1-inch) camera sensors. In fact, many reviewers believe that the Vivo X90 Pro+ takes significantly better pictures in low light compared to Samsung's current flagship phone. That's a big blow to Samsung's face.
If the South Korean tech giant wants to stay ahead in the low-light photography game, it has to equip the Galaxy S23 Ultra with a camera system that beats the one on the Vivo X90 Pro+, and if the latest tweet from Ice Universe is to be believed, Samsung is on the right path, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra could at least equal the Vivo flagship in low-light imaging.
According to previous leaks, the Galaxy S23 Ultra will have a 200MP primary camera at the rear. This 200MP sensor will be an upgraded version of the ISOCELL HP1. Along with it, it will reportedly get a 10MP telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom, another 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom (for portrait images), and a 12MP ultrawide camera. The phone can also capture up to 8K 30fps videos.

Vanilla Galaxy S23 is getting a brightness boost
Unlike last year, there won't be much difference between the specifications of the vanilla and Plus variants of the Galaxy S23. While the specifications of all three phones in the Galaxy S23 lineup were leaked last week, a new piece of information has surfaced showing that Samsung is reducing the gap between the Galaxy S23, […]
All the reasons to upgrade from Galaxy S20 Ultra to Galaxy S23 Ultra
The Galaxy S20 Ultra was the first Samsung phone to bear the "Ultra" badge. It had a lot weighing on its proverbial shoulders, as it needed to prove to the mobile world that its moniker was justified. And justified, it was, partly because of its bonkers "Space Zoom" camera. Nevertheless, it's been almost three years […]
New leak reveals every Galaxy S23 Ultra sensor and mystery ISOCELL
We all know by now that the Galaxy S23 Ultra will boast Samsung's new ISOCELL HP2 200MP sensor as its primary unit. But what's more is that Samsung appears to have changed almost every camera sensor for its upcoming flagship, save for two. According to a new screenshot from a hardware ID app detailing Galaxy […]
Leaked Galaxy S23 Ultra zoom photos demonstrate better processing
Galaxy S23 Ultra leaks are in full swing. Although some of the "leaked" material circulating appears to be fake, more credible leaks have happened over the weekend. We've seen an alleged early unboxing of the Cotton Flower S23 Ultra, and a handful of low-light camera samples also emerged, more or less confirming that the new […]
Samsung Galaxy S23 series pre-order posters appear ahead of launch
We are just a few days away from the Galaxy Unpacked 2023 event scheduled for February 1, where Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S23 lineup. Just like in previous years, the Galaxy S23 series will consist of three phones: Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and the Galaxy S23 Ultra. Almost all the information about the entire […]
Galaxy S23 Ultra's first low-light camera samples leak
Earlier today, the first authentic unboxing video of the Galaxy S23 Ultra appeared on the internet. Now, the first low-light camera samples of the smartphone have appeared, showcasing what the phone's brand-new 200MP camera sensor is capable of. Twitter user Edwards Urbina has posted a few camera samples captured using the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 200MP […]


The program in Quantitative Research Methods is a graduate certificate program administered by faculty in the Departments of Psychological Sciences, Sociology, and Educational Psychology but drawing students from many other departments and schools. The general structure and policies of this program follow the guidelines for graduate certificate programs specified in the University of Connecticut Graduate Catalogue. The program's mission is to provide students with a thorough background in quantitative research methods in the psychological sciences that extends the basic research methods training required by their respective graduate programs. Participants who are officially admitted to the program, successfully complete the program requirements, and submit a completed and approved Plan of Study to the Graduate School will receive a certificate in Quantitative Research Methods from the Graduate School of the University of Connecticut.
Prerequisite courses. Prerequisites for participation in the program are completion of PSYC 5104 and 5105 Foundations of Research in the Psychological Sciences I and II, or equivalent courses. Students who wish to substitute equivalent coursework for these two courses with other graduate level introductory statistics courses need to submit a petition to the Director of the QRM program. The petition should include a syllabus of the equivalent course and other documentation if available (e.g., exam examples), to support the petition and facilitate the decision making by the Committee.
Enrollment. Students MUST be officially admitted to the QRM program by completing an application through the Graduate School online application system (available here). In order to apply you must currently be enrolled in any UConn graduate program. The application process is managed by the Graduate School, not the Psychology Department, and is similar to the master's/PhD program application process; however, the fee can be waived (by submitting an email to gradadmissions@uconn.edu to request a fee waiver number) and there is no need for new reference letters or scores to be submitted. The application may not let you submit until you have attached a personal statement, there is no need for a new one, however in place of it please attach a document that states, "see personal essay from application to UConn (name of department) in (year applied). Unofficial copies of transcripts should be uploaded to the online system. Applicants will be notified of the decision via the online application system. (An email will be sent through the online system requesting that the applicant log in to the system to view the decision). If admitted, students MUST reply to the admission offer through the online system in order to be officially matriculated in the program.
Credits. Participants in the program complete 12 credits of graduate coursework in quantitative methods. Twelve credits are selected from a list of program courses (Table 1). Students who wish to petition for a course that is not listed may do so by submitting a petition with sufficient documentation of the content of the course to the QRM Director (syllabus, exam examples). Such courses cannot be from other institutions.
QRM Presentation. Participants in the QRM program must successfully complete a formal presentation to a QRM committee. The presentation will typically be done in the final year of study (either semester), after or near the completion of elective courses. The purpose of this presentation is for the student to demonstrate competence about some advanced analytical techniques or issue they have learned through coursework or research activities. Different ways of approaching the requirement are allowable. In general, the presentation is expected to be 30 minutes with another 30 minutes for discussion. The presentation will be attended by QRM and other relevant faculty members and students, with at least 3 faculty members present.
QRM Presentation. Participants in the QRM program must pass a formal presentation to a QRM committee. The presentation will typically be done in the final year of study (either semester), after or near the completion of elective courses. The purpose of this presentation is for the student to demonstrate competence in and communication about advanced analytical techniques or issues. Different ways of approaching the assignment are allowable. The presentation may involve describing a certain type of statistical technique Or, the presentation may be more substantive about quantitative issues without actual data incorporated. In general, the presentation is expected to last about 30 minute with an additional 30 minutes for questions. The presentation will be attended by QRM and other relevant faculty members and students, and at least 3 faculty members will be present. QRM students should reach out to the QRM director for additional information about the scope, structure, evaluation and scheduling of the presentation.
Plan of Study. Students interested in the program should design an individualized plan of study, in consultation with their major advisor, which serves their research needs, interests, and career goals. Students may also wish to consult with one or more members of the Executive Committee of the program (listed on the Department of Psychological Science web site) about the courses they plan to take and their expected date of completion of the QRM Presentation. The Graduate Certificate Plan of Study.docx form can be downloaded here.
Completion of program. A final Plan of Study form that lists completed courses and is signed by the Program Director, along with a signed QRM Presentation form, MUST be submitted to the administrative coordinator (psychgrad@uconn.edu) or program director prior to graduation. The signed Plan of Study must then be submitted to the Graduate School. Once the paperwork is processed, the graduate school will issue the certificate. Please bear in mind that students cannot apply for certificate completion after graduating from their master's or PhD program unless they want to continue paying student fees. Thus, it is important to complete the paperwork in the semester you are graduating. In addition, the Graduate School issues deadlines each semester for submitting Plans of Study.
Questions? Students interested in the QRM Certificate Program should contact the Graduate Program Coordinator (psychgrad@uconn.edu), to ensure that appropriate forms and records are initiated early in the graduate career.
Note. Please also check graduate catalog, department websites, and instructors for course availability. Not all courses are available in each academic year. Additional courses are acceptable with prior approval. The QRM Director will send out periodic emails about new classes to all matriculated QRM students.

Precious Cargo review
Bruce Willis has a new film quietly slipping into UK cinemas today. Here's our review of Precious Cargo...
By Ed Williamson | July 15, 2016 |
It's fair to say Bruce Willis has taken his foot off the gas a bit in recent years. Who can blame him? Stars fade, and now everyone's a 24/7 commentator it's hard to keep working into advanced age, when the scripts landing on the mat require you to acknowledge the limitations of your age and play up to them, and even dip into the straight-to-digital-download market, without some accusing you of trashing your legacy.
People feel this sense of regret more keenly with Robert De Niro, who had further to fall after he stopped trying in 2002, but he at least continues to play the first or second lead, putting his name to the project and living or dying by it. Willis increasingly takes on roles that seem to require little time investment, and mails it in contentedly.
There's a responsibility that comes with having a big name, though. As he and Precious Cargo's director Max Adams are aware, he's there because no one is going to see it if he's not, and I suspect his involvement was key to getting the film funded. With that in mind, and given that his name and image are heavily featured in the promotional material, you'd expect him to be on screen for more than the 30 minutes or so that he is.
In fairness, I don't know that more Bruce would've saved it. Bagging on a low-budget film that's its director's first feature doesn't exactly give you the warm and fuzzy feels, but there's no escaping the fact that Precious Cargo is awful: riddled with clichés and crammed with dialogue you can't believe made it through a second draft. It made me think of how fun it is to watch an action film from the eighties and laugh at how changing cultural reference points and dramatic fashions now make what was then performed and received straight-faced look ridiculous 30 years later. Except that when you unblinkingly release the same thing in 2016, the layer of ironic distance isn't there to act as coverage.
What it forgets is this: heist movies need a satisfyingly intricate plan, some double-bluff you didn't see coming, and a likeable lead or two. Your heist man is a criminal after all, so you need the person he's ripping off to be irredeemably bad (Bruce's Eddie, just about) and the guy himself to be some combination of charming, funny, ingenious or whip-smart, so you're impressed by him and want his plan to succeed.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar's Jack is none of these things. He's the sort of rascal who still cracks jokes when he's got a gun in his face but lacks the charisma to make this endearing, and is sold to us as a master thief without ever displaying the skills to justify it. Around him are dotted sundry heist mainstays. Karen (Claire Forlani) is his old partner both in crime and the biblical sense, complicating his bachelor life by returning carrying his child. The idea is she's a wily operator but no evidence to support this ever surfaces. Logan (Jenna B. Kelly) is an expert sniper and identikit badass chick in a vest top who thinks romance is stupid. Other one-note heisty types show up, and then Bruce … well, he's just sort of there.
As for the clever heist plan: well, if it showed up I must have missed it. This is the thing that justifies a heist film's existence, and while contemporaries like Now You See Me 2 are guilty of letting down their audience on a grander scale in this regard, they at least manage to have some fun along the way. Precious Cargo could've pitched itself as a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the more outlandish crime cinema of the eighties and nineties, having its cake and laughing at it, but nope: it's straight down the middle. Don't call it a romp: it's not enjoying itself, Bruce isn't either, and you certainly aren't.

A pilot crashes in the Arctic. A polar bear kills its cub. Two men in lounge suits are eating snow cones in a cheap Vegas motel room. Doppelgangster's Cold War is a thrilling, hypnotic, phantasmagoric spectacle set at the dusk of the climate crisis.
How did you come up with the idea of your show? What are the origins and what is something that inspired you to create this show?
Tobias Manderson-Galvin: You know that polar bear, that's on every poster about climate change ever?
Tom Payne: And every article about climate change ever?
TMG: That polar bear slid into our DMs one day; and said "hey fellas, I'd be really interested in being in a show, call me."
TP: And obviously we said no. That's an appalling and dangerous concept.
TMG: That more than likely seen as cruelty to animals.
TP: And also, who calls anyone these days? Why don't we just send you a fax?
TMG: Don't actually send us a fax. I'm not sure if sarcasm scans in a text based interview.
TMG: Spoiler: we also wanted to buy an ice machine and be able to claim it as a business expense.
TP: So we're thinking about climate, about consumption, about the building conflict around the Arctic; as the ice caps melt. As hidden oil reserves are revealed.
TMG: And the price of that ice machine was very reasonable when you look at it with tax in mind.
How did you guys meet and start a show together?
TMG: We had appeared in one another's dreams for some years, with increasing frequency, and strangeness of situation. Then it was June 2015. We both happened to be sitting enjoying a pleasant summer's evening in the library of an enormous Victorian manor in the mid-Wales countryside.
TP: I was collating a series of antique books that drew together the bizarre connection between Rudyard Kipling and the emergence of the Hitler Youth.
TMG: I had accidentally locked myself inside a large cupboard full of costumes, and was beginning to cry out for assistance.
TP: At first I mistook Tobias' voice for that of a ghost.
TP: I was certain it was a ghost, and thought to open the cupboard doors with a boldness that belied my predictable horror.
TMG: I am still not sure that I'm not a ghost.
TP: I noticed that two identical VHS copies of the 1996 Hollywood tear-jerker 'TITANIC' had fallen forth with the man-who-was-in-fact-not-a-ghost.
TMG: At Tom's insistence - and after some rummaging about the manor for VHS players - we both began to watch both the TITANIC videos, at the same time, on seperate televisions.
TMG: We knew we were onto something.
TP: So that's how we met and how we began making our first show 'Doppelgangster's TITANIC'.
TP: No! It's a secret.
TP: Long enough to have had shows cancelled for being 'too dangerous to perform'; to have been hospitalised with severe concussion due to a particularly graphic rehearsal; and to have snuck into a private meeting with the French Minister for Agriculture while pretending to be his aide de camp.
Three reasons to come to your show?
1/ A creeping sense of inevitability.
2/ For fear you will end up on a list if you don't.
3/ We don't sell our t-shirts online.

Every year, various departments within SABIS® Educational Services (SES) in Lebanon offer internship programs to university students who demonstrate strong potential. This summer, the internship program offered 20 students and recent university graduates the opportunity to gain field experience in the Creative Design, IT, and Academic Development departments.
For the SES IT Department, an updated and revised internship program has proven to be extremely successful. "In order to meet the particular demands of our department, we adopted a different approach to the internship program," explained Mr. Elie Dagher, Director-Software Development at SES. "It was a win-win situation. Fresh graduates from reputable universities across the country were given the opportunity to experience real-life working conditions. For SABIS® IT, it was a good opportunity to introduce the graduates to our internal processes and provide them with additional training with a view of offering identified candidates full-term employment at SES," Mr. Dagher explained. "With a considerable number of vacancies to fill and the need for top-notch computer science experts and engineers at an all-time high, we felt that this was a great opportunity to gauge the candidates' level of knowledge and expertise and select those who were best suited for the job."
With this new objective set, the IT Department worked on developing a new training program that would help identify strong candidates for employment at SES. "We designed and developed a tailor-made program that included training on various software applications as well as hands-on experience working on real projects and tasks," said Mr. Salim Fayad, Project Manager-Software Development. "This was the best way to identify the strongest candidates in the group."
Mr. Elie Ghazal, one of the interns who is now employed full-time at SES as a junior software developer, felt ready to take on his position thanks to the new training program. "The training I received and the tasks I was given as an intern prepared me for my first real job. My assigned mentor spent a lot of time with me and shared a lot of his knowledge and expertise with me. This helped me a lot in the initial period at SABIS®."
"On a whole, we are very pleased with the outcome of the new and revised program," said Mr. Fayad. "The candidates this year were motivated and mature. In fact, three of the seven interns have been offered full-term employment within the IT Department. This is a great result."
