Follow the Yellow Brick Road erhaps you’ve heard that IPNI is being restructured. Key scientific resources are moving to the industry’s trade associations to strengthen their 4R and other agronomic initiatives, and to provide direct scientific support for Pengagement with their stakeholders. This transition marks the end of era. Many of us at IPNI feel like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz as we embark on the yellow brick road in search of Emerald City. We are a little uncertain and the road ahead is not entirely straight. As seen in the movie, the road has graceful curves as it travels over the rich grassy land; it has areas where the bricks are polished and smooth and clearly marked. It also has areas where the bricks are broken or uprooted, or missing altogether like in the dark abandoned forests of Oz. The road ahead is uncertain and even frightening … change always is. But change is also exciting and reinvigorating. It causes us to adapt and to improve, and it strengthens us. IPNI has always attracted talented and highly capable scientists … scientists dedicated to improving nutrient management and nutrient use efficiency, to improving food production and farmer’s livelihoods, and to protecting our environ- ment. That dedication and service to global agriculture will not change; it will continue albeit in a different setting as our staff move on to other opportunities and challenges. IPNI is leaving a great legacy. Better Crops is part of that legacy. It’s been an honor to have worked in this amazing Institute and in partnership with all of you. On behalf of everyone at IPNI, we thank you for your support over many years. We wish you well and hope our paths will cross again as we begin our journey down the yellow brick road in search of our “Emerald City.” Better Crops International Plant Nutrition Institute 5500 Triangle Parkway, Suite 300 Terry L.

EPISODE TWO 15 PREVIOUSLY Recap of the previous episode. 16 EXT. CLEARING The Sawhorse runs rampant, while Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead attempt to catch it and calm it down. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoah! Whoah! TIP (V.O.) Taming the Sawhorse now it was alive was proving ... tricky. When Jack came to life, he was full of questions and kinda stupid, but he was fairly calm, all things considered. The Sawhorse was frightened. And a little bit insane. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Calm down horsey! TIP Whoah, horse. Easy there boy -- look out Jack, it's coming through! JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoooah! He leaps out of the way as the horse bounds past him. TIP Come on, there's nothing to be scared of. JACK PUMPKINHEAD I'm scared! TIP Nothing for the Sawhorse to be scared of. (to Sawhorse) We're your friends we're not going to hurt -- ahhh! He jumps aside as it rushes through. 45. JACK PUMPKINHEAD At least it's knocking you over as well as me, Dad. TIP I don't understand, why won't it listen to us? JACK PUMPKINHEAD Maybe it can't listen to us? TIP Oh? Oh, of course, that's it! Jack, find me some leaves or something. (he starts rummaging in the undergrowth) Big ones, about the size of my hand. We need two. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Why? TIP (finding leaves) Here we are, perfect. Ears, Jack! The Sawhorse doesn't have ears! JACK PUMPKINHEAD That's why he isn't listening! TIP We just need to fasten these on to his head and sprinkle a little more powder on.

Follow the Yellow Brick Road
CASA’s 7th Annual Red Wagon Event Follow the Yellow Brick Road There’s No Place Like Home Friday, April 7th, 2017 6:00 p.m. Fairgrounds Industrial Building There are over 300 kids each year that are appointed to CASA of There’s No Place Like Natrona County, and placed in the foster care system. Like Dorothy, when she first lands in Munchkin Land, these youth are oftentimes forced to navigate the complexities of life on their own. It only takes Home one caring person to change the course of their life for the better. Dorothy’s lucky—she found three! Together they were able to achieve their goal of finding the Emerald City and meeting the Wizard of Oz. CASA of Natrona County matches foster youth with specially trained, court appointed volunteers who provide on-going support, guid- ance and hope. CASA advocates change lives and help ensure our community’s most at-risk youth have a safe place to call home. You will hear stories, much like the Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow—from the Foster/ Adoptive Family, CASA Advocate, Guardian ad Litem and most importantly, the child. They all play an im- portant part in the success and outcome of finding a safe place to call HOME. Hear one adoption story through the perspective of everyone on the case. As there were many setbacks and delays in Dorothy’s trip to get home, there are similar delays, struggles and setbacks that can happen before a child in the foster care system is finally able to get back home.

Following the Yellow Brick Road: the Lived
ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: FOLLOWING THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD: THE LIVED JOURNEY OF NURSES BECOMING NURSE PRACTITIONERS Kathleen Theresa Ogle, Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Dissertation directed by: Professor Francine H. Hultgren Department of Education Policy and Leadership In this phenomenological study, I explore the lived experiences of registered nurses who become nurse practitioners. Text for this study comes from narrative sources such as reflective writings, one-on-one conversations, and group conversations with seven new nurse practitioners. The guiding question for this inquiry is: “What is the lived journey of nurses who become nurse practitioners?” Phenomenological philosophers such as Heidegger, Gadamer, and Casey guide this work. Other authors are drawn upon for grounding the study and to draw out the phenomenon for examination. The six research activities of van Manen (2003) provide the methodological framework for the research. The “yellow brick road” traveled by the registered nurse to nurse practitioner is the metaphor that has revealed itself as we reflect on the journey. Literature from the disciplines of nursing and education, poetry, and narrative accounts complement the stories told by nurse practitioners and open up new ways to think about the lived experience. Stories are the bricks that form the yellow road that lead us to a new way of being. Nurses who become nurse practitioners experience the journey from school to beginning practice and finally to comfort in the new place. Conversations reveal the meaning of the journey. The webs of support woven with other students are found to be very important. Before reaching the end of the road, many detours are encountered that slow, but never stop, the journey.

Characters needed to become more than images for the child reader to identify with.
