Chuck – "Chuck vs. Santa Claus"
"Chuck vs. Santa Claus"
When someone thinks of what a good Christmas episode should be, "Chuck vs. Santa Claus" will meet many of these criteria. It has plenty of jokes within the holiday spirit, characters dressed up in seasonal garb, generous samplings of Christmas-themed music, and the absolutely genius decision to have Reginald VelJohnson reprise his role as "Big Al" from Die Hard to go with the episode's Christmas-themed hostage situation. In these moments this episode felt like what we all expected: one of the most funny and enjoyable shows on television delivering a note of holiday cheer.
But what we got was less an example of a good Christmas episode than it was a demonstration of Chuck's ability to balance the emotional with the hilarious, the dramatic with the comic, and the danger with the laughter. When things seemed to be wrapping up too neatly at the halfway point of the episode, it became clear this was about something more: it was about learning how far people were willing to go to protect those they loved, and continued a long streak of fantastic dramatic work from both Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski.
It's another fantastic episode, if not quite the one we expected, from a show that put together quite a great opening to the season.
When this episode first laid its cards on the table it felt more than a bit off: the hapless negotiator seemed an odd foil for the events of the episode, and we went an inordinately long time without Chuck flashing on anything. Ned Rhyerson (a name stolen from Groundhog Day) was just another normal guy, who conveniently shoots Casey in the foot and ushers out the two federal agents from the building in a systematic fashion? And who ran into this Buy More, after stealing a car for more or less no reason? I had presumed this was heading into humorous or heartwarming territory, and that Chuck would succeed at calming him down, but that happened in about five seconds. It was all seeming a bit off, but then we learned that the head negotiator was going to come into the store.
From that point on, the episode was just downright great, presenting the first person who learns that Chuck is the intersect in such a way that it becomes less an issue of national security than personal relationships. The team couldn't extract Chuck and end the situation immediately because of both the fear over breaking Chuck's cover and Chuck's own unwillingness to leave his family and friends in that situation while he sits safely in the Castle. Chuck chose to give up his secret with Ellie's life on the line, while Sarah eventually makes a decision to kill the Fulcrum agent out of fear for Chuck's life more than the safety of CIA secrets.
That's been the show's calling card this season, plot developments that feel less like plot and more like a natural evolution for these characters. Sarah and Chuck's relationship had gotten to a point where she obviously cares for him, and where he clearly cares for her, but yet they swore off the chance of ever dating. And while Sarah has ethics that always hold her back, Chuck has always really had no reason not to be in love with her. What he got in this episode was a reason, her decision to kill the Fulcrum agent for, as far as he knows, no justifiable purpose.
It isn't that he didn't think she was capable of killing, but it was a combination of circumstances: the man was clearly surrendering, there was no threat to her life, and she was wearing his mother's charm bracelet. That last one was the one that hit home: a gift to her earlier in the episode, the bracelet was something of him that he even admitted he should be giving to a real girlfriend, but he chose to give it to her as a reflection of their non-work relationship. But this was a stark reminder of her work role, that she isn't the kind of person who can just sit back and enjoy a Christmas dinner. She is going to have to, by necessity, turn off some part of herself in every situation: she either has to ignore her work side entirely to have fun, or turn off her feelings in order to be able to kill Fulcrum agents.
Strahovski continues to do great work with very little lines or monologues, found mostly in little looks and glances, while Levi manages to cross between charming and funny to serious and concerned in just the right kind of way. They're the emotional core of this show, and this episode offered one of the series' best investigations of their relationship yet. It wasn't very Christmas-y, with only Sarah's family objection to Christmas (in her house the season of Salvation Army Con Jobs) really playing into the holiday spirit, but it nonetheless felt like the right time to make this point. I'd hate to know what they would have done with this pre-break episode (the show doesn't return until February) if they hadn't had the Back 9 order since before the season started airing, but this was a perfect mid-point for the season.
And it was perfect because all of that dramatic stuff was perfectly balanced by comedy in just the right points. While it was a bit contrived to force Awesome and Ellie into the situation, and I thought that their little storyline about risk taking was underdeveloped, their presence helped to give the entire cast a role to play in an episode that never felt overloaded with material. We got your usual little quips (Learning that Jeff only has eight toes, learning that Lester calls the Love Chatline when in a death-defying situation, watching Emmett and Big Mike's genius entrance), but it was neat to see people interacting together who don't, normally speaking, do so on a regular basis.
It's what made the grand caper to stop Ned, involving Lester getting karate-kicked in the head, Morgan emerging from the snow with a pummeling of fake snow, and Awesome and Big Mike performing quite a fantastic (and effective) tackle, all the more fun. It was a fantastic balance of humour (Lester waking up with a grin on his face after spotting the cleavage above him, Big Mike in general) and actual storylines (Morgan's heroism being missed by Anna as she focused on caring for Lester, Awesome's risktaking reminding him that Ellie was more important and that he should cancel his skydiving trip). There was nothing big in these smaller stories, but it was a great balance of comedy and drama: it's hard to believe that Chuck and Morgan would have anything even close to a comparable emotional state at the end of this episode considering what happened to Chuck, but you feel Morgan's pain and confusion almost as much.
This is really Chuck's calling card, a show where you care and get excited for the entire package more than an individual part. Josh Schwartz's other show right now, Gossip Girl, is so compartmentalized, parts being entertaining and others feeling like total cliches, but Chuck comes together. They nailed the action, with a nicely visceral fight between Sarah and the Fulcrum agent, while also nailing the comedy (See: Big Mike and Big Al's giant jumping slo-mo bear hug), and everything in between just falls together.
And they could have just delivered an episode like that, with some action and some comedy, and fans would have been content: instead, they throw in a relationship-changing event, a ballsy move that I don't know the show would have been prepared for this time last season. But now, with a lot more confidence and a lot more precedent for deft handling of these scenarios, Chuck is the show who can do anything – even taking on Santa Claus and substantial plot development in the same episode.
Cultural Observations
I don't know whose idea it was for Reginald VelJohnson to appear as a washed up version of his Die Hard character who is cousins with Big Mike and shows up at the Christmas hostage scenario, but my god it was genius. The star of "Family Matters" didn't really get much to do in terms of lines or anything, but his very existence (and that bear hug) were more than enough to make this one of my favourite cameos of this nature in quite some time.
Like any episode of Chuck, there were still some major questions at play here: what happened to Casey at the tree lot? And how was it that there was no record, at all, of Ned in the CIA/NSA computers? The show may have been dealing with a more elaborate plot with major consequences, but the show still gets away with a fair few holes – not a criticism, it's standard, but it just hit me at a couple of points in this one.
Great use of music all around: from the Die Hard inspired (or stolen from) use of dramatic thriller Christmas carols, to some nice injections of the traditional Chuck music, to the bookending "Jingle Bell Rock," and from the angelic strains of "Silent Night" accompanying the cleavage to the triumphant "Ode to Joy" accompanying the giant bearhug.
Continuing what is always a tradition, here's the "Things I forgot to mention that Sepinwall's review reminded me of": the amazing moment when Sarah realizes she has no one to call when everyone else call's their loved ones, and Casey's paper cuts ("This is Buy More, not Basra! Get it together!")

I completely agree with you, it was one of the best chuck episodes out there.
Chuck evolves, so that you know how characters got from point A to point B, and how they felt along the way. So I know why Sarah would be willing to save Chuck at any cost, and why he would have a problem with it.
I was expecting a traditional christmas episode, but got to see major character development and stories that will be really important in the future of these characters.
I just love Chuck's relationship with Elle. He has a conscience, he cares for his sister, and will do anything for her. Its so wonderful, chuck is wonderful.
I also felt weird that the guy with the gun, just listened to everything chuck said, it was off.
Was also very impressed that we got some major plot development in what at first seemed to be a traditional xmas episode. Also, thanks for the reviews, you seem to articulate my thoughts exactly and its fun to recap the episodes here
chuckfan
this show is awesome. this episode had it all. great recap.

I have a line from Osler2 this moment. In answer to mine asking if they would look after you in Johns Hopkins. I enclose the note. I do not understand all of it fully but this much is clear that for about $25. a week (which it seems to me we could easily afford) you could be accommodated and provided with every thing—of course before taking any step we would find out every thing and I would visit Johns Hopkins myself—I will write again tomorrow when I get Osler's further letter promised in this one3
R M Bucke
Richard Maurice Bucke (1837–1902) was a Canadian physician and psychiatrist who grew close to Whitman after reading Leaves of Grass in 1867 (and later memorizing it) and meeting the poet in Camden a decade later. Even before meeting Whitman, Bucke claimed in 1872 that a reading of Leaves of Grass led him to experience "cosmic consciousness" and an overwhelming sense of epiphany. Bucke became the poet's first biographer with Walt Whitman (Philadelphia: David McKay, 1883), and he later served as one of his medical advisors and literary executors. For more on the relationship of Bucke and Whitman, see Howard Nelson, "Bucke, Richard Maurice," Walt Whitman: An Encyclopedia, ed. J.R. LeMaster and Donald D. Kummings (New York: Garland Publishing, 1998).
1. This letter is addressed: Walt Whitman | 328 Mickle Street | Camden | New Jersey U.S.A. It is postmarked: London | PM | Ja 29 | 90 | Canada; Camden, N.J. | Jan | 31 | 1 PM | 1890 | Rec'd. [back]
2. Sir William Osler (1849–1919) was a Canadian physician and one of the four founding staff members of Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he served as the first Chief of Medicine. Richard Maurice Bucke introduced Osler to Whitman in 1885 in order to care for the aging poet. Osler wrote a manuscript about his personal and professional relationship with Whitman in 1919; see Philip W. Leon, Walt Whitman and Sir William Osler: A Poet and His Physician [Toronto: ECW Press, 1995]). For more on Osler, see Philip W. Leon, "Osler, Dr. William (1849–1919)," Walt Whitman: An Encyclopedia, ed. J.R. LeMaster and Donald D. Kummings (New York: Garland Publishing, 1998). For more on the relationship of Osler and Whitman, see Michael Bliss, William Osler: A Life in Medicine (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1999). [back]
3. On April 24, 1890, Bucke wrote of "the John Hopkins Hospital. Walt, if I were in your fix I would think seriously of going there for the next six months or a year . . . as a private patient. . . . I do not suppose the expence would be much more than the present subsidy but if it is we can easily get more money." See Horace Traubel, With Walt Whitman in Camden, Friday, April 26, 1889. [back]

My current project is a feminist cultural history of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in the modern U.S. Psychiatric professionals characterize and often disparage BPD as a female illness (approx. 75%), unresponsive to psychopharmacology or psychotherapy. Although highly contested, BPD has received little historical attention. The study examines the emergence of BPD as a category of pathology; the meanings invested in the figure of "the borderline" by medical professionals, the mentally ill, and in popular culture; and the cultural and intellectual "work" BPD has done within psychiatry, within broader cultural and political discourses of gender, and among people affected by BPD. In addition to this research, I also continue to write on women's sport, lesbian history, sexuality, and chronic illness.

Double glazing has a really related system. Similar to the stickers you see on white goods, the stickers on home windows have a simple to understand 'visitors gentle' system, with the green rated home windows being essentially the most vitality environment friendly, and a window with a sticker showing the energy effectivity as 'A' is essentially the most environment friendly possible.
So who assesses these scores, and the way does the knowledge provide help to?
The BFRC is the organisation that charges how energy efficient home windows are. In case your windows have BFRC rating then they may adjust to Constructing Regulations.
Apart from the A-G ratings, extra specific information might be on the label that will help you make your best option attainable about energy environment friendly windows.
The vitality rating. This is written as a components but reveals you how many kilowatt hours will be lost per square metre per year.
How a lot warmth the window loses as a consequence of air penetration.
The label info mainly tells you the way environment friendly the product is at serving to you retain heat within the constructing, how good it's at preserving out the wind and the way well it can reduce condensation and cut down noise from outside.

Walk for Wishes 2014 is fast approaching! You've been working hard raising money, but are you and your team in shape for a high energy walk through the Philadelphia Zoo or strolling around City Island?
Our next fundraising tip involves some fitness and a lot of fun. The new workout craze is Zumba! Zumba is an aerobic fitness program that combines Latin American music and dance with a fitness routine perfect for getting in great shape. Be ready to move your hips and break a sweat by hosting a Zumba-thon for Make-A-Wish Philadelphia Susquehanna Valley!
Many local gyms offer Zumba classes for members. First, try approaching a gym near you to see if they would be interested in hosting a fundraising event. Try to rent the space discounted as well. Chances are, they have a large enough space and instructors ready to go.
Zumba is perfect because it is fun for all ages, so consider that when picking a time! You will want the optimal amount of people to attend your event. These classes tend to go from 45 minutes to an hour, but plan for water breaks! If you are using a gym with a certified instructor, see if one of their existing class times can be replaced with your Zumba-thon fundraiser.
If you cannot book a gym space, any large area with an outlet for a stereo or iPod dock will do! For example, find a field, parking lot, or school gymnasium. Finding a certified instructor is easy! Visit www.zumba.com and click on 'Find an Instructor" to locate one in your area. You can also try to recruit an instructor from a local gym who will donate their time.
Now, you're probably wondering why this is costing money, and not raising any. When you plan your Zumba-thon, be sure to set a registration fee for all who attend the class. Make sure the class is worthwhile by getting healthy refreshments for attendees such as water bottles. See if a local gym or store will donate them to your event.
The next step is to advertise! Reach out to friends, family, and the community through social media, flyers, and even a local radio station. Try to target both those who are already interested in Zumba and those who want to try something new and healthy! If you are able to use a gym or health club, use their resources to help you get the word out.
On the day of the event, make sure your guests know to arrive early to register and warm-up. Have the registration table set up and ensure that the music is working and upbeat! Meet with the instructor and any other employees beforehand to make sure you are doing everything possible for a successful Zumba-thon.
As always, we are ambassadors to Make-A-Wish Philadelphia Susquehanna Valley. In addition to the registration fee, place a donation box at the registration table with information about the organization. You might find people interested in helping your team and the organization in the future.
A Zumba-thon is a unique way to raise funds toward your team total, plus the added benefits of being active and spreading the word about Walk for Wishes.
Get up and get moving (and dancing)!

Talbot Rice Gallery is the public art gallery of the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland. With a 19th-century former natural history museum and a contemporary white cube gallery.

History

The University of Edinburgh's historic Old College was designed by Robert Adam and completed by William Henry Playfair. In 1967 the library collection was moved to a new location. An arts centre with an exhibition hall was opened in the Quad in 1970, following a £20,000 renovation paid for by the Gulbenkian Foundation. The gallery was opened in 1975 under the guidance of Prof Giles Henry Robertson and takes its name from his predecessor, Prof David Talbot Rice, the Watson Gordon Professor of Fine Art at the University of Edinburgh from 1934 to 1972.

The Gallery fundraises for their artistic programme, and has to date received support from Creative Scotland, as well as international and grant support including Mondriaan Fonds, Culture Ireland and the Freelands Foundation. In 2019, the Gallery was awarded an Arts and Humanities Research Council grant for the first time. The Talbot Rice Gallery is open to the public and admission free.

Bulgaria's elections: Borissov says will propose Daniel Mitov as PM
April 14, 2021 April 16, 2021 The Sofia Globe staff Boiko Borissov, Bulgaria elections 2021
Boiko Borissov, Bulgaria's Prime Minister and leader of the GERB party that won the most votes in the April 4 parliamentary elections, said on April 14 that he was proposing that former foreign minister Daniel Mitov be the country's next Prime Minister.
Borissov, speaking on the eve of the first sitting of Bulgaria's 45th National Assembly, said earlier in the day that he would not be the candidate Prime Minister.
In the 45th National Assembly, the other five groups all oppose electing a government nominated by Borissov. It is expected that his proposed Cabinet will be rejected in a vote in the House.
Mitov, right, with Antony Blinken, now US Secretary of State, in 2016.
The best chance of getting a government voted into office lies with cable television presenter Slavi Trifonov, whose ITN party ran second in the parliamentary elections.
Borissov said that undoubtedly, Trifonov was successful in show business.
"Now he has reached another stage, but one that needs responsibility and bold decisions," Borissov said.
In the week and a half since the April 4 elections, Trifonov – said by his party to have tested positive for Covid-19 – has not made any statement of substance.
Mitov, foreign minister in Borissov's second government and in the caretaker cabinet that preceded it, has traversed a number of political parties.
Initially, Mitov was a member of Ivan Kostov's Democrats for a Strong Bulgaria – a breakaway from the Union of Democratic Forces, of which Kostov was the strongman at the end of the 1990s – then of Meglena Kouneva's Bulgaria for Citizens; which took Mitov into the Reformist Bloc, in its days as minority partner in that second Borissov government.
Mitov in 2015 with his then-counterpart from Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Mitov in 2016 with his then-counterpart from the UK, Boris Johnson.
Mitov in 2015 with his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Mitov with David Harris, head of the American Jewish Committee.
Ahead of the 2021 elections, Mitov signed on as a member of GERB. The party conferred on him an electable position, and he will be a member of the 45th National Assembly.

Nanostructured metals and semiconductors are promising building blocks for next generation solar energy conversion devices at low cost. From the optical perspective, nanostructure (NS) ensembles constitute a new class of metamaterial, where the optical properties of the ensemble are tuned by the individual NS type, geometry and collective arrangement. In the case of solar energy conversion into fuels, nanostructured or layered metal and metal oxide co-catalysts display performances that are morphology and size dependent.

Householders urged to be more careful when choosing a plumber
23% of householders have been unhappy with work carried out by a plumber
44% of those people said the plumber couldn't fix the problem
23% said the plumber had even caused further damage
Plumbing problems can increase during Winter and plumbers will be in high demand Water Regs UK says using an approved contractor scheme provides peace of mind to householders who need help
UK householders are being warned to check a plumber's credentials before asking them to carry out any work on their home this Winter.
A new survey of over 2,000 people* commissioned by Water Regs UK uncovered a list of unhappy customer experiences suffered by people who needed help from a plumber.
Overall, the findings revealed that more than one in five (23%) of those surveyed said they had been unhappy with work done by a plumber in the past.
Over four in ten (44%) of those who were unhappy said they had experienced occasions where a plumber had failed to fix the problem.
Even more worryingly, over a quarter (27%) said they had experienced a plumber actually causing more damage to their property.
Water Regs UK advises that many of these problems could be avoided by only using plumbers who are part of an approved contractor scheme.
Julie Spinks, managing director of Water Regs UK said:
"Our research showed that price and availability were among the most important considerations when choosing a plumber but making a hasty decision could be more expensive in the long run.
"Just 14 per cent of people said they had checked to see if their plumber was an approved contractor but doing so can make all the difference.
"It's easy to check at watersafe.org.uk and it provides reassurance that work meets all legal requirements and that there is reduced risk of contamination to the water supply."
Water Regs UK says that people can be more tempted to use plumbers that are not approved during Winter when cold snaps cause problems, meaning plumbers are in high demand.
The survey found that many plumbing problems in UK homes are caused by the cold.
Fifteen per cent of those surveyed say they had experienced burst or frozen pipes in their home. One in five said they had suffered central heating faults and a quarter of these were related to frozen condensate pipes.
Julie Spinks continues:
"There are simple things householders can do themselves to prevent problems occurring, such as lagging pipes, and locating their stop tap and making sure it's working. However for most plumbing problems it really is better to seek the help of a qualified and approved plumber."

STAR LETTER
The mystery deepens
I read with interest the letter on the secret tunnels in your April edition as I know quite a lot about the tunnels under Reigate Hill.
In the early 1950s, I was a part-time youth leader at Merstham Youth Centre responsible for outdoor activities including the DOE award.
As part of my day job, however, with the Ordnance Survey, I was surveying the chalk quarry behind the Yew Tree pub on Reigate Hill. Halfway up the quarry on a spoil heap were two old Nissen huts, still covered with the remains of camouflage netting. I thought that with a bit of effort they would make an ideal base for our weekend adventure activities.
The War Department had already de-requisitioned them but the current owner was delighted to give me permission to use them, providing we helped her by felling her unwanted trees; a small price to pay. As we started work to make the huts habitable, we managed to undo a mysterious door in the face of the quarry. To our surprise, it led into a huge network of tunnels under the quarry.
There were three substantial tunnels lined with corrugated metal, one behind the other, each at least one hundred yards long. The electrical wiring was still intact, as was the air conditioning trunking. Sections were partitioned as offices. It was a secret bombproof and gas proof military establishment that nobody knew anything about.
My enquiries as to its use were declined as the information was classified at the time. However, we were told by the War Department that we could use any material in the tunnels that was useful. As indeed it was. The youngsters did most of the work on the huts themselves, setting up their own weekend adventure base. The face of the quarry was cleared for abseiling, rope walks were built in the trees, giant swings and slides were established and many kids were involved in a huge range of activities. But that is another story.
My work there continued until 1959 when I took up my post as warden of the YMCA National Centre in the Lake District, my first full-time job in the Youth Service. Since then, I have learned that the tunnels were probably dug in the early years of the war as a decoding base. But I think that they still keep their secrets.
Ted Curtis,
Editor's note: Dear Ted, thank you so much for getting in touch; what an absolutely fascinating letter! Living in the shadow of Reigate Hill myself, I have been particularly captivated by your story, as I know the National Trust will be too, and no doubt many readers. For that, we are making you this month's star letter, meaning you win a well-deserved dinner for two at The William Bray in Shere. We hope that you enjoy! All the best, Caroline P.S.

Dear Surrey Life readers,
Love animals? Want to 'do your bit' for wildlife and the environment? Do you have a few hours spare each week that you could offer to a worthy cause?
Well, our animal rescue charity, the Wildlife Aid Foundation, is facing its busiest few months of the year – and is desperately short of volunteer helpers.
Based in Leatherhead, we rely on members of the local community giving their time and commitment free of charge to keep our wildlife rescue service and veterinary hospital operating '24/7'. Altogether there are almost 300 volunteers at the Wildlife Aid Foundation but with so many wildlife casualties coming in, the charity is severely overstretched.
There are currently vacancies for volunteers in animal care (including cleaning and feeding the animal patients in the hospital), office administration, and also some openings for volunteer trainee veterinary nurses. Full training is provided.
If you are interested in becoming a Wildlife Aid Foundation volunteer, please contact us on 01372 377332 to discuss the current opportunities (please note that volunteers must be over 16).

Bring a bottle
Dear Surrey Life,
Can you help? The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice is in urgent need of bottles for tombola stalls.
If you visit one of the many summer fetes that will be held over the next few months, you may well come across a Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice stall. The fund-raising team at the hospice are out and about, working hard to raise as much money and awareness as they can for this vitally important local charity.
Many of the stalls that the hospice will be running will include tombolas, and so the fund-raising team are keen to take as many donations of unwanted, unopened bottles as possible. From wines and spirits, to soft drinks, body lotions and even bubble bath – if it's in a bottle then the team would be happy to receive it!
If you have any spare, unopened that you would be willing to donate, please do bring them along to the hospice, on Waverley Lane in South Farnham, or drop them into one of the Hospice's local shops.
For more information, call 01252 729446, send an e-mail to us at fund-raising@pth.org.uk or visit our website at pth.org.uk.

Månesten er en varietet af orthoklas og hører dermed til gruppen af feldspat. Mineralet er halvgennemsigtigt/gennemskinneligt med en lagdelt struktur, hvilket på slebne sten giver et "mystisk" blålighvidt genskær som Månen eller Månens spejling i vand.

Forekomst
De bedste forekomster af månesten er på Sri Lanka. Derudover findes mineralet i Australien, Brasilien, Indien, Madagaskar, Myanmar, Østrig, Tanzania og USA.

Anvendelse og overtro
Mineralet slibes til smykkesten, almindeligs som cabochon. Stenen kan være sårbar over før stød og ridses let på grund af den lave hårdhed.

Stenen hævdes at hjælpe på hovedpine og menstruationsproblemer og i øvrigt at styrke psyken.

Lo SMS Tátra è stato un cacciatorpediniere della k.u.k. Kriegsmarine, prima ed eponima unità della stessa classe. Partecipò a svariate azioni di flotta nel corso della prima guerra mondiale e, dopo la sconfitta dell'Impero austro-ungarico, fu ceduto come riparazione di guerra al Regno d'Italia: la Regia Marina lo immise in servizio con il nuovo nome di Fasana e la funzione di capoclasse del gruppo di cacciatorpediniere avuti dalla k.u.k. Kriegsmarine, indicati collettivamente come classe Fasana.

Caratteristiche tecniche

Il Tátra presentava una lunghezza alla linea di galleggiamento di 84 metri, una larghezza massima di 7,80 metri e un pescaggio da 2,42 metri (normale) a 3,20 metri (massimo). Era armato con due cannoni Škoda K10 da 100 mm lunghi 47 calibri (L/50), montati su affusti individuali uno a prua e uno a poppa; sei pezzi Škoda K10 da 66 mm L/45 a fuoco rapido su altrettanti supporti singoli (tre per fiancata), due dei quali furono poi rimpiazzati con la versione contraerea BAG (Ballon-Abwher Geschütz); due impianti binati con tubi lanciasiluri da 450 mm; una mitragliatrice Schwarzlose M.07/12 da 8 mm e un certo numero di bombe di profondità. L'apparato motore, capace di sviluppare 32,6 nodi (circa 62 km/h), era formato da sei caldaie Yarrow, due turbine AEG Curtis, due alberi motore con elica e generava circa  shp, garantendo un'autonomia di  miglia alla velocità di 12 nodi (circa  chilometri a 22,8 km/h). L'equipaggio contava 104-105 uomini.

Impiego operativo

Costruzione
Il cacciatorpediniere Tátra fu ordinato nell'anno fiscale 1911 approvato dai parlamenti austriaco e ungherese. La sua chiglia fu impostata nel cantiere navale di Kraljevica/Porto Re, gestito dalla ditta Ganz & Danubius, il 19 ottobre 1911 e il varo avvenne il 4 o il 5 novembre 1912; fu completato il 12 ottobre 1913 e così nominato in onore dell'omonima catena montuosa che, allora, faceva parte dell'Impero austro-ungarico.

Il servizio nella Marina austroungarica
Il Tátra fu assegnato alla base navale di Pola e, all'inizio dell'agosto 1914, proprio nei giorni d'apertura della prima guerra mondiale, uscì dal porto inquadrato in una formazione che avrebbe dovuto passare il Canale d'Otranto e congiungersi agli incrociatori tedeschi  e , in fuga dalle forze navali dell'Intesa che li stavano inseguendo, allo scopo di distruggerle prima che arrivassero a Costantinopoli. Tuttavia non esisteva ancora un formale stato di guerra tra Vienna e Parigi, sicché il comando della k.u.k. Kriegsmarine richiamò il cacciatorpediniere e le altre navi. Nei giorni seguenti il Tátra fu assegnato con il resto della sua classe alla 1ª Divisione, organizzata in 1º e 2º Gruppo e rispondente alla 1ª Flottiglia torpediniere. Il 23 agosto soccorse i naufraghi della torpediniera SMS Tb 26T, saltata in aria su mine al largo di Pola. Intanto la Francia aveva dichiarato guerra alla duplice monarchia e nei mesi successivi il Tátra operò in pattugliamenti nel Mare Adriatico, sostenendo brevi e inconcludenti scontri con le unità veloci francesi che vi penetravano dal Mar Mediterraneo.

Il 23 maggio 1915 il Regno d'Italia si schierò con l'Intesa e aprì le ostilità contro l'Impero austro-ungarico. La k.u.k. Kriegsmarine attivò subito il piano previsto per questa eventualità e il giorno seguente condusse un'articolata serie di bombardamenti navali della costa orientale italiana. Il Tátra partecipò in prima linea alle azioni e, insieme all'incrociatore leggero , ai gemelli  e , contribuì alla distruzione del cacciatorpediniere  al largo di Barletta. Il 28 luglio dello stesso anno formò con alcune delle navi sorelle e con gli incrociatori leggeri  e Helgoland una forza da bombardamento che bersagliò l'isola di Pelagosa, occupata da un reparto italiano; coprì quindi il controsbarco austro-ungarico che, tuttavia, fallì nel riprendere l'isola. Dislocato con il grosso delle forze leggere alle Bocche di Cattaro, il Tátra condusse i gregari della classe a fianco dell'incrociatore Helgoland nell'incursione a Durazzo (29 dicembre 1915): il porto era infatti di cruciale importanza per l'Intesa, che stava evacuando in massa lo sconfitto Esercito serbo. Nel corso dell'operazione le navi austro-ungariche colarono a picco alcuni mercantili ma, prese di mira da batterie costiere, ripiegarono precipitosamente e finirono in un campo minato steso da unità francesi. Il Tátra salvò i superstiti del Lika saltato in aria e quindi agganciò a un cavo da rimorchio lo , immobilizzato; ma durante il traino la turbina di sinistra si danneggiò e il Triglav fu evacuato e lasciato preda dei cacciatorpediniere anglo-francesi lanciati all'inseguimento.
 il 3 luglio 1916 lasciò Cattaro insieme all'Helgoland, all'Orjen, al Balaton ed a tre torpediniere per attaccare il blocco del Canale d'Otranto, ma la formazione rientrò in porto dopo essere stata avvistata;
 il 19 ottobre 1917 partecipò ad un inconclusivo scontro nelle acque tra Brindisi e Cattaro, insieme all'esploratore Helgoland e ad altri cinque cacciatorpediniere, con una numerosa formazione navale anglo-franco-italiana (3 incrociatori leggeri, 4 esploratori, 11 cacciatorpediniere);
 il 10 luglio 1918 prese parte ad un'incursione (poi interrotta causa il fallimento dell'effetto sorpresa) contro lo sbarramento del Canale d'Otranto, unitamente agli esploratori Helgoland e Novara e ai gemelli Triglav e Csepel, in preparazione dell'attacco poi interrotto a causa dell'affondamento della corazzata Szent Istvan.

Il servizio nella Regia Marina
Dopo la conclusione della prima guerra mondiale, l'Italia ottenne, in conto di riparazione dei danni di guerra, la cessione di sette unità compresa la classe Tátra, che andarono a formare la "classe Fasana".

Incorporato nella Regia Marina nel 1919 ed entrato nominalmente in servizio l'anno successivo, il Tátra venne ribattezzato Fasana, ma non divenne mai operativo.

Rimorchiato a Pola, il Fasana fu cannibalizzato per ricavarne parti di ricambio per le unità gemelle (analoga sorte subì il gemello Balaton).

Radiato già nel 1923, fu demolito.

A few weeks ago Corey was home for a short visit but extended his stay to help Mark care for me while I was so sick. We spent a lot of quality time together and he happened to be here when my Wednesday night girlfriends came to visit. Corey has a beautifully written blog of his own and in one of his posts he described perfectly what our Wednesday nights are all about so I asked him if I could share that post on my blog and he said yes.
Earlier tonight, much like they've done on most other Wednesday nights since ALS bound my sweet mother to a wheelchair, three of her best friends journeyed to my parents' condo from the far side of town for a visit. They used to hike and jog and throw outrageous backyard dinner parties together, did the four of them, but now, because my mom can't do much else, they mostly just sit around my parents' dining room table keeping one another company. Sometimes they laugh, sometimes they cry, but always, without fail, they show my mom and dad a rare and dazzling and inexplicable kind of love that blurs the line between friends and family and makes me wonder how we got so damn lucky to know so many of these kinds of people.
Cool Mothers have cool kids!! What a great blog!
I would say Rosemary, it's definitely not just luck! God Bless you every day!!!

CORDOVA, Tenn. — A woman who claims to have spent all of her money on Powerball tickets is now asking for donations from the public.
According to Yahoo News, Cinnamon Nicole raised more than $800 in just seven hours on her Powerball Reimbursement GoFundMe page.
Nicole claims to have spent all of her money on tickets for the $1.6 billion Powerball jackpot, despite the 1 in 292.2 million chances of winning.
It's not clear how much money Nicole actually spent on the tickets, but when Nicole realized she did not have a winning ticket, she started a GoFundMe page.
But Friday morning, her GoFundMe page was shut down. It's not clear if she shut it down herself or if the crowdfunding site deleted her page.

Historia

Entre Castillejo, Serranillo y Martillán, esto es, entre los términos municipales de Castillejo de Martín Viejo, Villar de la Yegua y Villar de Argañán, existe un importante yacimiento arqueológico de la época prehistórica, el sitio de arte rupestre de Siega Verde, ubicado en el río Águeda, que está considerado unos de los yacimiento de arte rupestre al aire libre más importante de Europa, reconocido junto con el sitio de arte rupestre prehistórico del Valle del Coa en Portugal como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco, con la inscripción del sitio arqueológico en la Lista de Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad.

Las figuras descubiertas en Siega Verde fueron realizadas con técnica mixta, predominando el piqueteado y, en menor medida, la incisión y el grabado fino, siendo las representaciones de équidos, uros, ciervos y cabras las más comunes, también otras menos frecuentes; especies hoy extinguidas en estas latitudes, que denotan el carácter Paleolítico de estos grabados. Se estima que fueron realizados del 20.000 al 11.000 a. C.

En la época romana, se situaba en el territorio septentrional de la antigua provincia romana de Lusitania, dentro de la subdivisión administrativa del Conventus Emeritensis, con capital en Augusta Emerita (actual Mérida). Se sabe de la explotación aurífera, oro, que se realizó en el río Águeda en esta época, pero no se conservan restos en el término municipal, si bien cabe destacar que sí hay restos de una Villa Romana en el municipio lindante de Saelices el Chico, donde se sitúa la Villa romana de Saelices el Chico, que alberga multitud de restos romanos y alguno de la época visigoda.

El desalojo definitivo de los árabes de la comarca se produjo a finales del , reinando en la zona Alfonso VI de León. La zona se repuebla en los siglos XII y XIII, con pobladores de diferente origen: gentes del noreste y norte peninsular: gallegos, asturianos, leoneses del norte, segovianos, riojanos e incluso vascones. De esta época precisamente data la dependencia eclesiástica de Castillejo a la Diócesis de Ciudad Rodrigo tras su creación por parte del rey Fernando II de León en el  y bajo la que quedó encuadrada dentro del Campo de Argañán. Con la creación de las actuales provincias en 1833, Castillejo de Martín Viejo quedó encuadrado en la provincia de Salamanca, dentro de la Región Leonesa.

Molly's Desk: Why We Write... Right?
We recently had guests visiting from Michigan over the Easter Holiday and out of the blue our guest asked me this question. I was stunned and also honored that he thought well enough of my project to take the time and give it some thought which brought about the question. Looking at him for a few moments I told him that I believed I have always wanted to write, but because of the events in the past few years I now had to write.
He continued asking me if the courage is different from writing to performing. "I believe it is," I answered. "I have performed most of my life and for the most part have always had the necessary courage because I love to entertain. I love to be on the stage and I love to move people to another dimension and I know I have talent. Now, however with writing it is a new playing field and I believe I am finding my courage to continue".
"Well... what exactly do you have to say and why do you think others will be interested," he continued.
Taking another gulp of wine I realized this was not going to be easy.
"Ah yes, therein lies the truth doesn't it?" I answered.
Our guest continued with his insight that, being an architect, he learned early in his career that when others reviewed his drawings they were not focusing or criticizing him, it was the work and the drawings on the wall which were separate from him, so he never took it personally. However writing, he felt, is personal and he wondered how we both could have the courage to have it read or heard by others. I nodded and thinking to myself I have been searching for the answer to that very question and one we go over all the time in StageWrights. In fact, I thought with my recent play that it was important enough for others to see and hear and that they would care.
It was important to write it and perhaps to go back and work on it, but for now I am to move forward and write something else. "Well" he said, still not having an adequate answer I kept thinking to myself.
My question now is what do I have to say? Do we proceed ahead and evaluate what we think others want to hear and then write about that in order to obtain success? Or do we write about what is close to our heart and perhaps a connection will be made? I always go back to what it is I achieve best and thought that with the Bistro I never cooked a meal or designed a dish because of what others in the industry said we should serve – I always prepared a dish from inspiration and creativity and we were always sold out and booked.
I finally answered to him, "I believe writers write for many reasons. For me it is to connect with others and to tell my story, so we are none of us alone on our journey." I recently came across an interview Toni Morrison said with Oprah Magazine: "There are all sorts of ways people try to stay connected, try not to live in hate. Religion may be one of them, but for me the central thing is the writing. The art itself. Putting my intelligence and my humanity to the best possible use ..." I like what she said, and it resonated with me.
He liked what I had to say and gave me a toast to which I gladly finished off my wine.
"So, what is next on the agenda for the McFaddens," to which I answered that we both were going to continue writing and that we look forward to getting back to our StageWrights group at Ensemble Theatre.
I for one am happy that we are getting back together because I need to connect with these writers and have my work read and discussed. We comment on each other's work, never criticized, and I find their voices soothing. In fact they provide the necessary courage to continue on this journey.
So, the holidays are over, and we are all back together, so it is back to work.
I have been offline so to speak as I was working on my play, Fish Feel Pain, and preparing for the first reading of my life and it has been daunting to say the least.
First and foremost the cast I was fortunate enough to work with was wonderful. I want to thank them for their talent, support and insightful suggestions through this process! So blessed to be living in Cleveland and surrounded by such talent; as well as a nurturing environment Celeste and Tyler provide with Ensemble Theatre and the StageWrights group – thank you again.
So ... how am I doing? I started this blog last October in 2017 with the words, "I can do this, I have to do this and tell my story!" OK I did it. I put pen to paper and created the characters and wrote the play ... now what? Is there life after a reading? Of course there is and it ranges from going back to work on the script, or putting it away for a while to marinate and write something else.
WHAT? What if I don't have anything else within me to write about? This is the thought that echoes through my being and causes me to stop dead in my tracks for now.
The main take away from this process and these last few months is the fact that I can pretty safely say I can write. I have received validation that I have a talent to write and that is quite an important first step. Take a breath and feel that warm glow that you have something.
Did I succeed in saying what it was I wanted to share with people with this play? I think so, but remember this is a play for the theatre and it requires more than just going down a reflective journey about one's life, which is what I realize is what I was writing. That is certainly nice, but is it drama? Not at the moment. Could it be made into a drama? Yes, I believe so but what is the point? What is the one sentence that can summarize Fish Feel Pain that I have poured myself into?
Playwrights need instinct and heart but must also be pragmatic. I believe we learn from the masters and I for one love Arthur Miller and the play Death of A Salesmanon many levels and would often go to the script for inspiration and guidance as I worked on Fish. Salesman addresses loss of identity and a man's inability to accept change within himself and society. The play is a montage of memories, dreams, confrontations, and arguments, all of which make up the last 24 hours of Willy Loman's life. The three major themes within the play are denial, contradiction, and order versus disorder.
Right now Fish Feel Pain is all over the place and until I can surgically identify what it is I am trying to say with these characters and their relationships to one another, my play will just be a warm aroma of a soup too full of spices and ingredients for anybody to smell or taste. In other words ... way too much is going on and I need to step back and rethink the whole play and process. I can do that now because I had to throw it up on the wall and write it from my very inner soul, but now I need to step back and take a look at what it is I am trying to, not only say ... but more importantly ... dramatize! This is why it is so daunting and that writing for the theatre is not for the fainthearted. I can write prose, come up with delightful imagery, paint a pretty picture and offer up sentiments that make us feel warm and fuzzy ... but that is not theatre. What will it take to truly step into the ring and swing with the best of them.
You see in Death of a Salesman each member of the Loman family is living in denial or perpetuating a cycle of denial for others. This is important as to what the characters are doing to one another and what is at stake. Currently I don't have that right now with my members of the family in my play. Willy Loman, unlike my Maggie, is incapable of accepting the fact that he is a mediocre salesman. Instead Willy strives for his version of the American dream — success and notoriety — even if he is forced to deny reality in order to achieve it. Instead of acknowledging that he is not a well-known success, Willy retreats into the past and chooses to relive past memories and events in which he is perceived as successful.
I stand in awe of how Arthur Miller was able to write a play about denial, contradiction, and the quest for order versus disorder; the three major themes of Salesman. All three themes work together creating a dreamlike atmosphere in which the audience watches a man's identity and mental stability slip away. What is so important is that this play continues to affect audiences because it allows them to hold a mirror up to themselves. That is something I am trying to do with Fish Feel Pain. Willy's self-deprecation, sense of failure, and overwhelming regret are emotions that an audience can relate to because everyone has experienced them at one time or another. Individuals continue to react to Death of a Salesman because Willy's situation is not unique: He made a mistake — a mistake that irrevocably changed his relationship with the people he loves most — and when all of his attempts to eradicate his mistake fail, he makes one grand attempt to correct the mistake. Willy vehemently denies Biff's claim that they are both common ordinary people, but ironically, it is the universality of the play which makes it so enduring. Biff's statement, "I'm a dime a dozen, and so are you," is true after all.
So, after last night's reading I realize too many words and not enough action. My universal theme I was attempting to dramatize is that we all have pain similar to what the fish feel and what we do with that pain is what identifies who we are in the end. SO what? Well … I go back to the recipe for my soup and start all over again ... or not.
WILLY: You wait, kid, before it's all over we're gonna get a little place out in the country, and I'll raise some vegetables, a couple of chickens.
Tyler has encouraged those of us who participate in the StageWrights group to see as many plays as we can. I have tried to live up to the task at hand and quite frankly have loved every minute of it. I saw American Dreamer's at the Cleveland Public Theatre, Angels in America at Ensemble, and most recently, Jelly Belly at Ensemble Theatre.
All three of these productions were powerful. They were stunning in production value, acting and ensemble work. How did they impact me as someone who wants to write? Well ... I have so far to go but to keep trying and stay the course with my commitment to my writing. Which is what exactly? To tell my story as they told theirs.
Theatergoing is a crucial element in any playwright's work. How else will you know what works and what doesn't onstage, what other writers are thinking about, how audiences are responding?
Write about what inspires the singular person you are.
With the recent productions I recently saw, all of the playwrights did in fact have an investment in their plays as well as a passionate voice writing about what they know.
With American Dreamers you are invited into the live studio audience of "American Dreams," where you will decide which of three contestants will receive the ultimate prize: citizenship in "the greatest nation on earth." Weaving playful audience engagement with up-to-the-moment questions about immigration and more, this participatory performance explores how we navigate between fear, security, and freedom; who and what we choose to believe—and how those choices come to shape who we are.
Tony Kushner wanted it to be about gay men, the AIDS crisis, and Mormonism … and he knew there was an angel in it. He was also choosing to write about what was then the very recent past. AIDS was so horrible, it was so horrible, it was a lethal diagnosis. You went from lesions to death and people were afraid to sit on toilet seats, and people with AIDS were so vilified.
In a word, what were these plays about?
Jelly Belly - battleground for a test of wills that becomes a struggle between evil and good.
American Dreamer's - exploring how we navigate between fear, security, and freedom; who and what we choose to believe—and how those choices come to shape who we are.
Angels in America - why is democracy succeeding in America ... or is it?
When I feel I have gotten off course I go back to my artistic statement I composed for this play and evaluate if I am holding true to the statement and commitment through the writing and rewriting of Fish Feel Pain.
I want to create art wherein the ultimate goal is to help people feel more empathy, and therefore to feel less alone. As quoted by Roger Ebert on his perspective about film.
Fish Feel Pain is about our society and my personal interpretation of that society and it is worth talking about, it is worth putting in the effort to make better, it is worth my blood, my sweat, my tears, and my soul. I want us all to feel less alone.
This play is about coming to terms with the transitions in life and the American Dream. My goal is to create a play that sits inside the contradictions and paradoxes of life beyond the issues of our time, that wrestles with the fear of death, alienation, loneliness and spirituality – to meditate on these parts of life, and to hopefully, if successful, get closer to sharing The Truth that each of us already knows, and in so doing, become more connected to each other.
I believe this piece draws amazing parallels to the current problems facing older Americans and millennials as the baby boomers get older and more dependent on their children. I also believe this piece addresses the struggles of the artists who are to be produced and hopefully survive in this current culture. With the demise of the middle class, the majority have become the new impoverished minority, regardless of race, creed or color.
As a white woman who recently turned 65, I have had real life, cross-cultural experiences that I wish to share with the writing of this play. I believe theater is the only place where anyone can experience the visceral, gut level wrenching of being an individual in the family unit. It is the only place where we can learn to be more generous and more tolerant, and happier and enriched – not by observing other cultures, but by experiencing ourselves in those changes and transformations.
Writing classes, such as the wonderful StageWrights at Ensemble, are a great way to find and grow our artistic community, and even experienced playwrights keep their skills honed by workshopping new ideas in group settings.
• Ask yourself what your story is. You could try summarizing it in a sentence or two and sticking it by your desk, so you can keep it in mind.
• Get into the habit of writing. If you're short on time, try writing little but often.
• Women tend to write subconsciously, men tend to plan more. Do whatever works for you.
• Give your main character obstacles to overcome. He/she should have changed by the end of the play, if only fractionally.
• What are your characters' wants and objectives? These might change from scene to scene.
• Make your characters extraordinary or larger than life in some way.
• Think about the subtext of your dialogue and remember that people often don't say what they want to say - or say the opposite of what they think.
• You might find it useful to "hot seat" your characters. Assume the identity of one of your characters and get someone to ask you questions about yourself.

Iowa State University ADVANCE Collaborative Transformation Project: Enhancing Departmental Cultures, Practices and Structures
"The Iowa State University ADVANCE program is […] designed to create an infrastructure at ISU for transforming structures, cultures, and practices in ways that enable and support recruitment and retention of a diverse, highly qualified and cohesive faculty. This infrastructure is designed to include "top down" university policies and procedures as well as "bottom up" initiatives involving departmental work climate and strategies for improving recruitment, retention and promotion of faculty" (Bird and Hamrick 2008).
ISU ADVANCE Collaborative Transformation Project: Rounds 1 and 2 - Focal Department Synthesis Report
The first three departments to participate in the CT Project were Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology (EEOB), Genetics, Development and Cell Biology (GDCB), and Materials Science Engineering (MSE). These departments began participation in 2006. The second three departments to participate in the CT project were Animal Science, Chemistry, and Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering. These departments began participation in 2008. The first 6 focal departments represent three colleges: The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the College of Engineering. Department Chairs and faculty in each of these departments have been working together with researchers (scholars in the fields of organizational studies, women in science, and higher education) and members of the ISU ADVANCE Co-PI Leadership Team and its partners to help ISU better understand how to ensure positive departmental work environments and to achieve the overall goals of ADVANCE grant project. These departments were selected, in large part, because of their willingness to contribute to achieving greater understanding of the structures, practices, and cultures most conducive to faculty success at ISU and, collectively, among STEM disciplines. The departments selected for the ADVANCE CT Project are home to many nationally
Executive Summary: ISU ADVANCE Collaborative Transformation Project: First Round Focal Department Synthesis Report
This report summarizes research from the Iowa State University ADVANCE Collaborative Transformation (CT) Project. The results discussed here are based on intensive research conducted within three STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) departments at ISU during 2006-2007. The report also reviews some of the activities within the departments aimed at enhancing workplace climate and improving recruitment, retention and promotion of diverse faculty that have been inspired and informed by the CT Project. These activities are funded by a 5 year grant from the National Science Foundation's ADVANCE Institutional Transformation program, which is designed to create an infrastructure for transforming structures, cultures, and practices in ways that enable and support recruitment, retention and promotion of women faculty in STEM fields. This report represents one step in an overall multistage process. The CT Project will eventually include six additional focal ISU STEM departments, a further synthesis of findings from all departments over a 5-year period, and the development and refinement of assessment tools aimed at identifying and reducing barriers to faculty scholarly success—including issues that hinder the recruitment, retention and promotion of women faculty.
ISU ADVANCE Collaborative Transformation Project: Final Focal Department Synthesis Report
This report summarizes research from the Iowa State University ADVANCE Collaborative Transformation (CT) project, which is one of many components of ISU " s ADVANCE program. ISU ADVANCE is funded by a 5 year "Institutional Transformation" grant from the National Science Foundation. The National Science Foundation awards ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grants to universities and colleges for the purpose of transforming institutional structures, cultures, and practices in ways that enhance the recruitment, retention, and promotion of women faculty, and when possible, underrepresented faculty of color in STEM disciplines. ISU " s ADVANCE program goals include "top-down" initiatives, such as the creation of college- level "Equity Advisors" (in 3 colleges presently) and the development, implementation and support of university-wide policies for enhancing faculty members " work-life balance. ISU ADVANCE goals also include "bottom-up" initiatives, such as the Collaborative Transformation project. The CT project focuses explicitly on creating departmental structures, cultures and practices that enhance faculty members " satisfaction with their careers at ISU; their productivity as scholars; and their contributions to departmental efforts to recruit, retain and promote other excellent faculty members of diverse backgrounds.

A mini- mum of two credits of such independent work is required on every program of study for a nonthesis master's degree. Some programs require more credits. (For more information, contact the individual program or consult the Specific Master's Degrees section in this bul- letin.) The element of creative independent study must be explicitly identified on the pro- gram of study. The format of the creative com- ponent is determined in cooperation with the POS committee. As with a thesis, a creative component should be submitted to members of the POS committee two weeks before the final oral examination. However, no first sub- mission or final submission of a creative com- ponent is turned in to the Thesis Office or Graduate College for review and approval. Final Oral Examination. All master's (except M.B.A. students) and Ph.D. degree candidates must pass final oral examinations. The final oral examination must be held by the final examination deadline date for the semester in which the degree is granted. All coursework in the program of study must either be complet- ed or in progress before the final examination can be scheduled. This examination is oral; it may also include a written component if speci- fied by the student's (POS) committee. Graduate students must register for the equiv- alent of two credits, or for the R-credit course GR ST 600 (Examination Only) if no course work is needed, during the semester in which the final examination is taken. Taking only an R-credit course where the fee is not equivalent to the 2-credit minimum charge is not accept- able for the term of the final oral examination. If the examination is taken during the interim between terms (including the first day of class- es), registration can be for either the term before or the term after the examination is held.

Enhancing Material Tracking Practices of Material Management in Construction Project
Abstract: Construction materials and equipment on a single project can constitute for up to 70% of the total project cost. It makes the managing of construction materials an important aspect and needed to be highlighted at every phase in construction project. Material tracking practice in material management can helps to provide timely information of the materials availability at the construction site and the storage yard. However, material tracking practice in material management in construction industry have been using manual method and has many drawbacks. Thus in this research, current practices of material tracking were studied, problems of material tracking practices in material management were identified and the key factors for enhancing material tracking in material management for Malaysian construction project were suggested. The study was conducted with 54 individuals that involved from G7 class of contractors within 3 main states which are Johor Bahru, Selangor and Wilayah Persekutuan (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya). This research is statistically descriptive orientation and questionnaire is being used as research instrument with respondent rate of 54%. Data collected was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) 24.0 software. The method of analysis that being used in this research are percentage, frequency and mean score value. The results from this study shows that the current practices of material tracking were to track and record the delivery schedule of materials in computerised system. Other than that, the practices used were manual tracking, identification, calculation and documentation of the construction material. The drawbacks of the current practices such as lack of materials tracking in terms of timely ordering, problems in manual material tracking on site and at storage yard, and issues in tracking of the material by construction workers. That is the motivations on why material tracking practices are as important and need to be enhanced as it never been due to the availability and opportunity provided by current technologies to improve the efficiency and to minimize or possibly eliminate the unnecessary problems.

Educational Leadership and Policy Studies Food Science and Human Nutrition Health and Human Performance Human Development and Family Studies The College of Human Sciences provides an integrative approach to improving the quality of life for individuals, families, schools and communities by linking discovery, science, cre- ativity, and practice; applying the knowledge of learning in all endeavors; and developing lead- ers for roles in research, education, business and industry, and health and human services. Founded in 2005, the College of Human Sci- ences (CHS) is the combination of the College of Education and the College of Family and Consumer Sciences. The new college fosters innovative synergies in teaching and research, and in many ways has begun reinventing how human potential can be enhanced. Members of the College of Human Sciences community strive to improve the quality of people's lives - helping them learn better, live longer, and lead lives that are more productive and fulfi lling. Recommended High School Preparation Recommended preparation for students enter- ing most departments of the College of Human Sciences should include 4 years of English (including speech) with emphasis in composi- tion and communication skills; 3 years each of mathematics and natural sciences, and at least 2 years of social science and/or humanities. In addition, students interested in Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education are ad- vised to complete three or more years of high school study in one foreign language. Information for Prospective Students Each student in the College of Human Sci- ences works closely with an academic adviser who is associated with the curriculum in which the student is majoring. In some majors, fresh- men are advised by a general college adviser. After the freshmen year, these students are assigned an adviser in the department of the chosen curriculum. Advisers assist students in developing academic programs and in adjusting to university life. They also provide information and guidance about career choices. Advisers attempt to adjust each student's schedule of course work in accordance with the student's interests and capabilities.

An attorney offers assistance, often where a third-party neutral arbiter is required to resolve conflicts. Many attorneys work in private practice, but others secure positions in the public sector, e.g., federal or state governmental agencies. A minimum of three years from an American Bar Approved (ABA) law school is required to earn a Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D) degree. A bachelor's degree is required for admission to all accredited law schools. A student planning to enter law school may pursue an undergraduate degree in any discipline. The choice of the bachelor's degree should reflect a student's passion and personal interests and not be perceived as being the best degree to help them be admitted into law school. Appropriate courses should be completed that will enhance a student's development of critical thinking skills, including analytical written and oral skills. An understanding of business, social sciences, and humanities is necessary to comprehend the pluralistic society within and outside of the United States. These courses should include accounting, management, political science, psychology, criminal justice, economics, philosophy, English literature, and history. The completion of these courses will provide students with a knowledge base and skill sets that will assist them with their preparation for law school. Courses in mathematics and statistics are also helpful in developing analytical skills. Advanced writing courses and speech communication courses will also serve students well.
Collaborative Project Management. Andrew J. Rinaldi, Jr. Bowling Green State University. Final Literature Review
When conducting my research I came across more disadvantages of collaboration. When this arose I began to wonder why is it that there are more? I concluded to the fact that many individuals are so used to doing their own work that they blast negativity about collaboration. (I would like to note that some of these issues, the concepts behind them are used and not what was actually said.) One issue that collaboration has is if an organization has a lot of coming and going of individuals involved, it will have a impact on the amount accomplished (Corrie 1995). An example of this would be when a head of a school that is only in their second year has to be sure to listen to those that have been in the school system longer. Another issue I came across in my research was that people, often tended to differ in their opinions, values, and what was learned (Hinchman 1999), which put the projects they were working on, on hold till they could resolve their differences. The last two issues I discovered was one, collaboration produces a group way of thinking that stifles individuals' creativity and enforces conformity, and two, collaborative groups can come to reproduce existing structures without criticism (Hinchman 1999).

Challenges African-American Graduate Students Face at Iowa State University
Financial disparity and the lack of financial resources can dim the hopes of graduate students. Therefore measures must be taken to make sure graduate students regardless of background are well supported during their studies so that the graduate student can focus on school rather than juggle several jobs and outside work responsibilities. Offering financial assistance such as the GMAP program is a good way to ensure success can be attained. Perhaps not surprisingly, another theme that emerged from the focus group discussions was the importance of peer/faculty mentoring. This theme confirms what previous studies have found and underscore additional measures taken to improve the mentoring programs offered at the university. Gathering feedback from students and faculty experiences during their participation would offer an understanding of the retention and degree completion issues plaguing the university.
Research on the Collaborative Innovation of University Discipline Construction and Scientific and Technological Transformation
At present, enterprises, universities, government cooperation between the three, there are differences between the value of the concept of enterprise is for the purpose of profit, nature is the pursuit of profit maximization; University in research and education, pay attention to the development of scientific research and education to improve the performance of the government; the social service sector, to social welfare as the main target. This disagreement is not to be eliminated. So in the face of such differences, we must establish a win-win benefit sharing mechanism, it would have to do is to "seek common ground", based on respect for the parties to the pursuit of goal difference, seek balance between the interests of all parties, make use of the advantage of the parties, the establishment of mutual trust between each other, mutual assistance, mutual support, resource sharing cooperation and win-win relationship. Enterprises can take advantage of universities and scientific research institutions in science and technology, talent, technology and other advantages, and constantly improve the core competitiveness of enterprises, control of market, industry influence; universities and research institutions to enterprises and government support, better transformation and practice of scientific research innovation ability, enhance the education and improve the quality of talent training, transformation the rate of scientific research achievements and social influence; at the same time, researchers also through cooperation, further realize the value of personal life and career pursuit. Therefore, should be based on cooperation, in the long run, the overall thought, from the strategic perspective of sustainable development, and coordinating the interests of all parties, sharing resources, multi-party cooperation and win-win situation, common innovation, steady improvement.
