Dressed up in a button up shirt and ironed pants, with my black suede shoes making firm contact with the carpet steps that led up to the second floor balcony seating. The feeling was very familiar, I felt as I was going out on a date. I didn’t feel the need to impress “her”. Quite the contrary, it felt like this wasn’t the first time I’ve danced with color, music, and a personality so vivid, that even a rainbow would lose its significance in the presence of what my eyes were to feast on. It wasn’t me that was putting on a show, tonight it was all on her, her chance to impress me. My date wasn’t some pretty girl with a great sense of humor and an intellectual mind to give her an even more solid and concrete identity to fall harder for. Instead the great sense of humor was coupled with an intellectual spirit and put on stage where it exploded through a multitude of bursting personalities. I believe an actor is someone that is able to embody a façade and they’re so drawn into that “reality” that others, including the actor themselves forget that the façade is just that, a façade. Watching the play from the second floor balcony, I was able to get a better image of not only what was going on - on stage, but also the reaction of the audience. There was one point in the play that stood out to me. Mr. Bank goes on and makes a very bold statement, along the lines where woman are meant to always be at home and serve as nothing but mere entertainers for their husbands and guests. This part of the script erupted a gasp from the audience including myself that echoed throughout the theatre. I froze for a second thinking about what just happened. How was it that we were so drawn into something that we all knew was an act? How is it possible that something on stage can have an affect on us in a fashion that we lose the ability to discern reality from illusion? I believe the answer is relative and what’s important is that you DO lose yourself in the play, for losing yourself is part of the grand experience. Speaking of the grand experience, I believe the costume designer did an amazing job at aligning the story line with the time that the play was set in. I remember looking down at my clothes and comparing my tighter pants to those of the looser ones of the characters on stage. This pushed me in the direction of really understanding the notion of how the only thing constant in this life is change. We see this notion prove its existence time and time again through out different facets of our life. Here’s something funny that I would like to share. I left the theatre humming the tune for supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but so did the majority of the audience that escaped reality for two and a half hours by enjoying the play.

*e-mail: [email protected] Effect of Heat Treatment on Some Mechanical Properties of 7075 Aluminium Alloy Adeyemi Dayo Isadarea, Bolaji Aremob, Mosobalaje Oyebamiji Adeoyec, Oluyemi John Olawalec*, Moshood Dehinde Shittuc aPrototype Engineering Development Institute Ilesa, Nigeria bCentre for Energy Research and Development, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria cDepartment of Materials Science and Engineering, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Received: April 14, 2012; Revised: September 3, 2012 This paper reports the effects of annealing and age hardening heat treatments on the microstructural morphology and mechanical properties of 7075 Al alloy. The material was cast in the form of round cylindrical rods inside green sand mould from where some samples were rapidly cooled by early knockout and others gradually cooled to room temperature. From the samples that were gradually cooled some were annealed while others were age hardened. Both the as-cast in each category and heat treated samples were subjected to some mechanical tests and the morphology of the resulting microstructures were characterised by optical microscopy. From the results obtained there is formation of microsegregations of MgZn 2 during gradual solidification which was not present during rapid cooling. It was also found out that age hardening and annealing heat treatment operation eliminated these microsegregations and improve mechanical properties of 7075 Al alloy. It is concluded that microsegregation can be eliminated by rapid solidification and appropriate heat treatment process. Keywords: 7075 aluminium, microsegregation, precipitation hardening, annealing, magnesium alloy, strength 1. Introduction Aluminium and its alloys are used in a variety of cast and wrought forms and conditions of heat treatment. For over 70 years, it ranks next to iron and steel in the metal market. The demand for aluminium grows rapidly because of its unique combination of properties which makes it becomes one of the most versatile of engineering and construction material1-3. The optimum properties of aluminium are achieved by alloying additions and heat treatments. This promotes the formation of small hard precipitates which interfere with the motion of dislocations and improve its mechanical properties4-7. One of the most commonly used aluminium alloy for structural applications is 7075 Al alloy due to its attractive comprehensive properties such as low density, high strength, ductility, toughness and resistance to fatigue8-11. It has been extensively utilized in aircraft structural parts and other highly stressed structural applications12-16. But aluminium-zinc alloy as it is in 7075 Al alloy is susceptible to embrittlement because of microsegregation of MgZn 2 precipitates which may lead to catastrophic failure of components produced from it17,18. The alloy is also susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking19,20. This is .

Chapter VIII E-Government and Creating a Citizen-Centric Government: A Study of Federal Government CIOs Christopher G. Reddick, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA Abstract This chapter examines the relationship between e-government and the creation of a more citizen-centric government. This study provides a conceptual framework showing a possible relationship among management, resources, security, and privacy issues that would lead to creating a more citizen-centric government with e-government. It explores the opinions of chief information officers (CIOs) on e-government issues and effectiveness. A survey was administered to federal government CIOs in June and July 2005. The survey results revealed that CIOs who have higher management capacity and project-management skills were associated more with creating a more citizen-centric federal government. The contri- bution of this study to the literature on e-government is that it identifies two key attributes that CIOs can attain in order to reach higher stages of e-government advancement for their department or agency. 144 Reddick Copyright © 2007, IGI Global. Copying or distributing in print or electronic forms without written permission of IGI Global is prohibited. Introduction Electronic government or e-government in this study is defined as the delivery of government information and services to citizens through the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This definition has been used in other empirical studies of e-government adoption (Moon & Norris, 2005a). This research adds to this definition with Grant and Chau’s (2005) interpre- tation of e-government as a broad-based transformative initiative, which is consistent with creating more citizen-centric government. Gronlund (2005) reviews the various definitions of e-government. That author has found they share a common theme of the need for organizational transformation through technological implementation. We realize that focusing on the Internet and e-government is a more limited way of examining e-government because of the rise of non-Internet technologies (Gronlund & Horan, 2004). Citizen-centric government is the delivery of government services continuously to citizens, businesses, and other government agencies through the Internet (Seifert & Relyea, 2004). Citizen-centric government through e-government acts more as a transformation tool that provides a new government model based on being citizen focused (Schelin, 2003). Some scholars have argued that for e-government to fully realize its capabilities, it must transform government from agency centric to citizen centric (Seifert & Relyea). The term e-government emerged in the late 1990s. It was born out of the Internet boom. The literat.

Dysfunctional Behaviors and Related Facilitation Strategies: Twelve Angry Men Behavior Actor/Evidence Strategy Used or Suggested Whisperer—periodically engages team member(s) in side conversations Silent member—withdrawn; doesn’t participate “Eager beaver” (talker/ monopolizer)—always has something to say Heckler/complainer— combative; tells team members why what they’re working on will never work Sidetracker—dicusses items not on the agenda Fighter—picks a “fight” and/or argues with another team member “Stand pat”—won’t budge; hostile; unwilling to look at situation from others’ perspective; often prejudiced Verbal stumbler—unable to express self clearly Early leaver—announces they must leave for another activity Five Stages of Negotiating All negotiations are different. Simple negotiations, such as choosing which movie to rent, need not require an extensive negotiation process. However, when negotiations involve significant or complex issues, you should consider using the five-stage process model Negotiating consists of five stages: (1) preparation and planning, (2) defining ground rules, (3) clarifying and justifying your case, (4) bargaining and problem solving, and (5) closure and implementation. These stages are described below. 1. Preparation and planning. Without question, preparation and planning are the keys to successful deal making. While some may think they can negotiate effectively “on the fly,” all negotiators benefit from thorough advance thought and preparation. Be clear about what you want and why. Gather data to support your position. Consider ways to present your arguments persuasively. Consider what the other party wants and why. 2. Definition of ground rules. Determining your own guidelines or rules for the negotiation helps you plan a strategy that can be successful. Establish who will or should be present and at what part of the negotiation. Decide where the meeting will be held and offer a possible agenda for how the time will be allocated and for which issues. The location has implications in terms of who’s in charge. While there may be a benefit to having the negotiation at your office—the home court advantage—agreeing to have the negotiation at the other party’s office might show flexibility and willingness to negotiate on your part. When the topic covered is potentially divisive or difficult, a neutral location might help level the playing field for both parties—an important consideration when an integrative solution is desired. 3. Clarification and justification. As the negotiation begins, state what you want and why. A key issue here is the difference between positions and interests. A position is a stance—typically a firm one—taken by a negotiator. “I’ll give you $4,500 and that’s my final offer.” An interest is the explanation behind the position, need, or desire that expresses why a negotiator wants what he or she wants. “I’m asking for $5,000 because the car has low miles, an u.

Dylan Rodríguez ends his essay with the following questions: How has the state-structured influx of Asian and Pacific Rim migrant populations, and the subsequent emergence of contemporary Asian American communities, helped to further displace criminalized Black and Brown populations and amplify what Marable calls the ‘‘subtle apocalypse’’ of mass-based civic death? How might the 1965 Immigration Act be re-narrated such that it is understood less as an ambivalent emblem of opportunity, liberal democracy, and freedom, and more as a fundamental facet of an American movement toward new forms of mass-based captivity and bodily immobilization, that is, as the harbinger of new forms of ‘‘unfreedom’’ as primary modes of social organization under the logic of white supremacist global capital? Will it be possible to muster the intellectual creativity and political will to articulate a rupturing critique of the field’s operative structural, political, and theoretical assumptions, in order to develop a radical critique of the prison industrial complex that may fundamentally alter Asian American Studies (and Ethnic Studies) as attempted practices of social transformation? Choose one of these questions, and give a preliminary answer. Do not worry if your answer is incomplete. It will be. That is fine. Do your best. .

E D U C AT I O N Study Theology, Even If You Don't Believe in God The Evangelist St. Matthew with his symbol, the angel (THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF THE NETHERLANDS / WIKIMEDIA COMMONS) When I first told my mother—a liberal, secular New Yorker—that I wanted to cross an ocean to study for a bachelor’s degree in theology, she was equal parts aghast and concerned. Was I going to become a nun, she asked in horror, or else one of “those” wingnuts who picketed outside abortion clinics? Was I going to spend hours in the Bodleian Library agonizing over the number of angels that could fit on the head of a pin? Theology, she insisted, was a subject by the devout, for the devout; it had no place in a typical liberal arts education. Her view of the study of theology is far from uncommon. While elite universities like Harvard and Yale offer vocational courses at their divinity schools, and nearly all universities offer undergraduate majors in the comparative study of religions, few schools (with the exceptions of historically Catholic institutions like This lost liberal art encourages scholars to understand history from the inside out. TA R A I SA B E L L A B U RTO N OCT 30, 2013 https://www.theatlantic.com/education/ https://www.theatlantic.com/author/tara-isabella-burton/ Georgetown and Boston College) offer theology as a major, let alone mandate courses in theology alongside other “core” liberal arts subjects like English or history. Indeed, the study of theology has often run afoul of the legal separation of church and state. Thirty-seven U.S. states have laws limiting the spending of public funds on religious training. In 2006, the Supreme Court case Locke v. Davey upheld the decision of a Washington State scholarship program to withhold promised funding from an otherwise qualified student after learning that he had decided to major in theology at a local Bible College. Even in the United Kingdom, where secular bachelor's programs in theology are more common, prominent New Atheists like Richard Dawkins have questioned their validity in the university sphere. In a 2007 letter to the editor of The Independent, Dawkins argues for the abolishment of theology in academia, insisting that “a positive case now needs to be made that [theology] has any real content at all, or that it has any place whatsoever in today's university culture.” Such a shift, of course, is relatively recent in the history of secondary education. Several of the great Medieval universities, among them Oxford, Bologna, and Paris, developed in large part as training grounds for men of the Church. Theology, far from being anathema to the academic life, was indeed its central purpose: It was the “Queen of the Sciences” the field of inquiry which gave meaning to all others. So, too, several of the great American universities. Harvard, Yale, and Princeton alike were founded with the express purpose of teaching theology—one early anonymous account of Harvard's founding speaks of Joh.

Methods All published studies that investigated patient and nursing outcomes were considered. Studies were included if the nursing delivery models only included nurses with varying skill levels. A literature search was performed using the following databases: Medline (1985–2011), CINAHL (1985–2011), EMBASE (1985 to current) and the Cochrane Controlled Studies Register (Issue 3, 2011 of Cochrane Library). In addition, the reference lists of relevant studies and conference proceedings were also scrutinised. Two reviewers independently assessed the eligibility of the studies for inclusion in the review, the methodological quality and extracted details of eligible studies. Data were analysed using the RevMan software (Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark). Results Fourteen studies were included in this review. The results reveal that implementation of the team nursing model of care resulted in significantly decreased incidence of medication errors and adverse intravenous outcomes, as well as lower pain scores among patients; however, there was no effect of this model of care on the incidence of falls. Wards that used a hybrid model demonstrated significant improvement in quality of patient care, but no difference in incidence of pressure areas or infection rates. There were no significant differences in nursing outcomes relating to role clarity, job satisfaction and nurse absenteeism rates between any of the models of care. Conclusions Based on the available evidence, a predominance of team nursing within the comparisons is suggestive of its popularity. Patient outcomes, nurse satisfaction, absenteeism and role clarity/confusion did not differ across model comparisons. Little benefit was found within primary nursing comparisons and the cost effectiveness of team nursing over other models remains debatable. Nonetheless, team nursing does present a better model for inexperienced staff to develop, a key aspect in units where skill mix or experience is diverse.
