Baily B.S., Texas A&M University—Commerce, 1999 M.A., Louisiana State University, 2003 December, 2006 It has been well said that the highest aim in education is analogous to the highest aim in mathematics, namely, to obtain not results but powers , not particular solutions but the means by which endless solutions may be wrought. He is the most effective educator who aims less at perfecting specific acquirements that at producing that mental condition which renders acquirements easy, and leads to their useful application; who does not seek to make his pupils moral by enjoining particular courses of action, but by bringing into activity the feelings and sympathies that must issue in noble action.

  • Modes and Monikers
    Modes and Monikers Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree in Fine Arts the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Zachary Podgorny Graduate Program in Art The Ohio State University 2011 Committee: Suzanne Silver- “Advisor” Laura Lisbon Ann Hamilton Michael Mercil Copyright by Zachary Podgorny Year of Graduation 2011 Abstract My work reflects the various modes of making in which I engage: painting and drawing, alongside playing of the violin, cooking, impromptu rhyming in English and Russian, the manipulation of recorded sounds, the movement of my body, and collaborating with other artists, musicians and dancers. I investigate the material narrative that takes place in my painting and drawing. This includes the marinating and cooking of different oils, pigments, and balsams as they are applied to different kinds of surfaces. Recently I have painted on linen, plastic shower curtains, window curtains, blankets, fencing, different types of paper, and most recently dry wall. I believe that an engagement with these surfaces inform the way I approach my painting. I believe that the kind of play, thinking, and processing that takes place in my painting is reflected in my other approaches to making. I have assumed different personae. These personas have been named. These monikers are attributed to each mode of making. ii Dedication This is dedicated to my Yelena Podgorny; my mother, Genya Vaks; my grandmother, and Anna Podgorny; my sister. They are the most important people in my life. I also dedicate this work to the memory of my grandfather Mendel Vaks. iii Acknowledgments Dear Suzanne Thank you so much for making me feel welcome.

Michael’s blindness didn’t stop him from shocking the neighbors by riding his bicycle through the streets of Palmdale, California as a child, and on September 11 his blindness became an asset as he successfully led a group of people to safety during the worst terrorist attack ever on American soil. 1. CONTENT A. The ten year anniversary of 9/11 is coming up! What’s new here? ~ Ten years later, the Michael Hingson story helps to bring some closure and make sense of the events of September 11. The time is right for an extraordinary story of an unlikely hero. ~ The events of 9-11 still haunt the American imagination, especially in light of the continued threat of terrorism and the recent attempted car bombing in Times Square. Michael Hingson’s story is an antidote; it’s positive, redemptive, compelling, and has a happy ending. In addition, the ~ Each chapter includes life lessons learned from Michael’s unique and heroic 9-11 experience, with additional material woven in related to growing up blind, working with a guide dog, his marriage to a woman in a wheelchair, and successfully functioning with a major disability.

  • The Everyday Heroes of World War II: Ordinary People Who Did Extraordinary Things
    The Everyday Heroes of World War II: Ordinary People Who Did Extraordinary Things Dr. Lynn Chun Ink Go For Broke National Education Center 2015 1 I could have done no different. I would not have known how. --Elizabeth Humbargar, on helping Japanese Americans during the war years, The Stockton Record, 1978 2 Introduction The history of the Japanese community in the US during World War II is often retold against the backdrop of the battlefields of Europe and Asia, where Nisei soldiers fought fiercely to prove their loyalty as Americans, or from within the confines of the incarceration centers, where Nikkei families struggled to lead a life of normalcy after being forcibly removed from their West Coast homes. Yet not only are the Nikkei wartime experiences as varied and multifaceted as the thousands of people who endured them, but they also involved many other individuals who were not of Japanese descent, people who, like schoolteacher Elizabeth Humbargar, could do “no different” but join in the struggle. The Japanese community as a whole rallied together in support of one other. But there were also countless individuals outside of this tightly knit community who either on their own or within a group sought fair and just treatment for the Nikkei. They were everyday people—from ministers to teachers to farmers to teenagers—who often endured condemnation from others who viewed those of Japanese descent through eyes clouded by hatred, fear and suspicion. They were ordinary people who took extraordinary measures for people they viewed as their equals and more significantly, as their friends.
