New Chromebooks Are Coming
Jess Scanlon
Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), and several computer companies made a deal that will continue the Chromebook legacy. The netbooks and laptops powered by Intel — with Google operating system software — have gained a new generation with this deal. It currently offers an alternative to the Windows, Mac, or Linux options for operating systems. Details became public Tuesday.
Chromebooks' upcoming generation will be powered by Intel's Celeron "Bay Trail-M" system-on-chip. Intel introduced this technology last year. This technology is based on a high performance computer chip that does not require much power, making it ideal for portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, and portable computers like the Chromebook. The Register reports that some models of the latest generation may have a battery life up to 11 hours. The chips then use the Chrome OS operating system, making it an officially member of the Chromebook family.
The Chromebook has been growing in popularity thanks to its unique features and wide variety of price points. It starts as low as $199, making it more affordable than some tablet options out there like the iPad and competitive with others like the Kindle Fire HDX. This end of the price range provides some serious competition for tablets, especially higher end ones like the iPad, as the price for one of these tablets can get a consumer an entire computer. Since the tablet market is already highly competitive due to more products in the marketplace, a cross-platform competitor is only going to make it even more so.
While it is priced like tablets, in use Chromebooks are more like the MacBook Air or a netbook in that it offers no disk drive, a trend that seems to be growing among the upcoming generation of devices. Many of these Chromebooks are designed to be portable and used with other Google products. Most Chromebooks come with an offer from Google for extra storage on Google Drive, Google's storage cloud.
While no prices for the new models of Chromebook are available yet, previous offerings have ranged from cheaper than a tablet at $199 to more than $1,200, making a MacBook Air or even a lower-end MacBook Pro look cheap by comparison. The new products will be in the 11- to 13-inch range, similar to the previous generation, making it larger than a netbook and right about the size of a MacBook Pro.
The new technology across the board includes some familiar computer manufacturers like Acer and HP adding to their Chromebook lines. Chinese computer company Lenovo will join the Chromebook lineup with two laptops, marking its entry into the Chromebook market.
These new products will make its arrival in the American market this season, starting with the LG Chromebase on Memorial Day and the newest HP Chromebook in June. Others will arrive on the market later this year.

Today EMC announced the "2014 edition" of their community recognition program, EMC Elect.
Engagement — Members are engaging on the EMC Community Network, on social media, and in person at events.
Commitment — Being part of the EMC conversation day in and day out, offering thoughtful feedback.
Leadership — The kind of people who take every opportunity to engage with their peers and represent others as part of the community.
If you're a regular reader here, you might recall that I was simultaneously surprised, pleased, and humbled to have been named an EMC Elect Founder when this program was first launched. It is slightly less surprising, more pleasing, and more humbling to be able to share that I have been named one of the 80 people recognized as EMC Elect 2014.
I'm also very excited and really looking forward to it. The Elect program was great to be involved with during the past year. EMC really showed their commitment to the program. I received near-VIP treatment at last year's EMC World, had access to advance info about product releases, and even got to go to Milan for a product launch event. The team in charge of the EMC Elect program at EMC will be hard-pressed to top last year, but I have every faith they're all over it.
Let's take a look at some metrics around the EMC Elect 2014 community.
80 people received the EMC Elect 2014 designation. That's almost 7% more than the 75 people who were awarded EMC Elect 2013.
Finally, 37 of the EMC Elect 2014 were also EMC Elect for 2013. This means that slightly less than half of the EMC Elect 2013 received the designation a second year, and that 43 of the EMC Elect 2014, or about 54%, are brand-new folks to the program this year.
Let me wrap up by saying how excited and humbled I am to have been selected again this year. I'm definitely looking forward to working with the EMC team and my fellow members of the EMC community, both Elect and otherwise.

The Pentagon's office of operational test and evaluation says the Air Force's new KC-46A Pegasus tanker may not be fully resistant to an electromagnetic pulse.
The Air Force and Boeing should conduct more tests to determine the survivability of the tanker's systems, the office says.
The Air Force and Boeing have said the aircraft passed EMP testing as mandated by the established KC-46 testing plan.
The Air Force's and Boeing's development of the new KC-46A Pegasus tanker has been waylaid by cost overruns and operational issues over the past several years.
Officials from the Air Force and Boeing have said that significant lingering problems, like contact between the KC-46's refueling boom and the receiving aircraft during refueling, are expected to be resolved this year, ahead of Boeing's October deadline to deliver 18 of the new tankers.
However, a report from the Pentagon's Director of Operational Test and Evaluation has cautioned that while the KC-46's most important systems could operate under EMP conditions, its operational capabilities in such a scenario have not been fully tested.
"While testing indicated the KC-46A flight-critical systems and boom refueling systems are likely survivable to the 6 decibel (dB) contractual requirement, the Program Office approved verification plan did not demonstrate the residual KC-46A mission systems capability during such an event," according to the report, which covers fiscal year 2017 and was released last week.
The KC-46 underwent EMP testing in July at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland and at Edwards Air Force Base in California. During the testing in Maryland, the plane received pulses from "a large coil/transformer" above the aircraft, designed to evaluate its "ability to safely operate through electromagnetic fields … under mission conditions," Boeing said at the time.
The DOE&T report said no tests were conducted with all flight and mission systems activated – a step required to fully test the aircraft under EMP conditions. But representatives from the Air Force and Boeing said the KC-46 had proven its EMP functionality as mandated by its test plan.
Air Force spokesman Maj. Emily Grabowski told Inside Defense that mission-critical systems has passed testing and that the systems the DOT&E report highlighted are "non-critical." Grabowski added that, overall, the KC-46 met system specifications and that the Air Force was working with DOT&E to "reconcile" concerns raised in the report.
Charles Ramsey, a spokesman for Boeing, said EMP testing was conducted according to the Air Force's test plan and that systems designated critical by that plan showed their functionality on a subsequent flight. "There are no EMP issues on the KC-46," he told Inside Defense.
The Air Force is planning two tests related to nuclear threats during fiscal year 2018, which began in October and ends in September. One will evaluate the KC-46s ability to launch and fly a safe distance from a simulated nuclear attack on its base, and the other will test the tanker's "inherent nuclear hardness" to blast, radiation, flash, thermal, and EMP effects, according to the DOT&E report.
The DOT&E report also notes that the KC-46 contract was awarded with a six-decibel threshold for the aircraft – a standard that the aircraft met during testing in July. However, after the contract was signed, the US military imposed a new 20-decibel standard tanker aircraft.
Without further testing, the report says, the Air Force and US Strategic Command will not know if the tanker meets that new requirement. "The Air Force should re-test the KC-46A in an operationally representative condition to determine the actual EMP design margin," the report concludes.
The KC-46A Pegasus deploys its centerline drogue system, October 8, 2015.
In December, the FAA granted Boeing an amended type certificate for the Boeing 767-2C, which is the baseline aircraft for the KC-46. The firm still needs to get an FAA supplemental type certificates for the military and aerial-refueling systems needed so the 767-2C can function as a KC-46. Additional tests are expected during the final review process.
The Air Force currently expects to receive the first operational KC-46s by late spring. Air Force Gen. Carlton Everhart, chief of Air Mobility Command, told Air Force Times in December that once testing is finished and the new tankers star arriving, he expects "they're going to clear out pretty quick" to Air Force bases.
Boeing won the KC-46 program contract 2011, and the Air Force plans to buy 179 KC-46s under the $44.5 billion program. As a part of the contract, Boeing is responsible for costs beyond the Air Force's $4.82 billion commitment, and as of late 2017, the defense contractor had taken on about $2.9 billion in pretax costs.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis has had limited involvement in Pentagon weapons programs, but he issued a stark warning to acquisition officials in November, saying he was "unwilling (totally)" to accept flawed KC-46 tankers.

Mallenchen, , ist ein Gemeindeteil von Groß Jehser, das ein Ortsteil der Stadt Calau ist. Der Ort liegt im Westen des südbrandenburgischen Landkreises Oberspreewald-Lausitz. Der Ort wurde vergleichsweise spät 1521 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt.

Lage
Mallenchen liegt in der Niederlausitz im Naturpark Niederlausitzer Landrücken am Drehnaer See.

Nördlich des Ortes liegt der Calauer Ortsteil Zinnitz mit seinem Gemeindeteil Bathow. Nordöstlich liegt Groß Jehser, östlich dessen Gemeindeteil Erpitz sowie der Ortsteil Buckow der Stadt Calau. Im Südosten folgt der Ortsteil Kemmen mit Säritz und Schadewitz. Im Süden liegt Klein Mehßow und im Südwesten grenzt Mallenchen an den Luckauer Ortsteil Fürstlich Drehna und dessen Gemeindeteil Tugam.

Die Gemarkung wurde 1950 mit der Gemarkung Gliechow vereinigt und heißt heute Gemarkung Gliechow, obwohl der Ort Gliechow 1978/79 devastiert wurde. Südlich des Ortes fließt heute die Dobra vorbei, ein künstlicher Wasserlauf, der nach einigen Kilometern in die Spree mündet. Von Süden kommend mündet die Schuche bei Mallenchen in die Dobra. Vor dem Braunkohlenabbau westlich des Ortes floss westlich am Ort die Schrake vorbei, die zwischen Lichtenau und Hänchen (heute Schönfeld) in die Dobra mündete, die vor dem Anfahren des Braunkohletagebaus Schlabendorf-Süd 1975 einen völlig anderen Verlauf hatte. Die Schrake trieb westlich des Ortes die Mallenchener Wassermühle an.

Geschichte

Mallenchen wurde erstmals im Jahr 1521 urkundlich erwähnt. Durch die späte Überlieferung des Namens ist keine sichere Namensdeutung möglich. Möglich ist eine Ableitung vom niedersorbischen Wort maly für klein. Dies bezieht sich auf die zahlreichen kleinen Seen, die sich in der Umgebung befanden. Der heutige sorbische Ortsname Jarzorce ist eine Verkleinerungsform des Wortes Jazor für See. Dieses Wort liegt in Jazory dem Namen des benachbarten Ortes (Groß) Jehser zugrunde. In Abgrenzung dazu wurde der Name Klein Jehser Malke Jazorce oder Malenke Jazorce gebildet. Daraus entwickelte sich die deutsche Namensvariante Mellenichen 1587 und Mallenichen im 18. Jahrhundert. In den Jahren 1761 und 1880 wurden die niedersorbischen Ortsnamen Jazorze und Jazorcy genutzt. Der Name Klein Jehser wurde so zu Mallenchen. Ernst Eichler schließt eine Beziehung zum sorbischen Wort Malina für Himbeerstrauch aus. Nach Lehmann war die ursprüngliche Dorfstruktur eine Zeile.

Die frühe Besitzgeschichte
1521 erteilte Heinrich Tunckel von Bernitzko, Landvogt der Niederlausitz, seinen Zustimmung zur Verpfändung der zur Herrschaft Drehna gehörigen Dörfer Deutsch Drehna, Tugam, Schrakau, Babben, Bergen, Bresinchen und einiger Zinsen im Dorf Mallenchen durch Caspar von Minckwitz zu Drehna an Georg von Schlabrendorf, Johanniterordensmeister in der Mark, für ein Darlehen in Höhe von 3.000 rheinischen Gulden, für das 150 Gulden Jahreszins fällig waren. 1549 schichteten die Brüder Caspar und Wolf von Minckwitz zu Drehna ihre Schulden in Höhe von 3.000 Gulden um. Sie mussten nun die 150 Gulden Zins an Hans von Küstrin, Markgraf von Brandenburg-Küstrin entrichten. Unter dem Pfandgut waren wiederum Zinsen in Mallenchen.

Am 25. November 1527 empfing Bartusch von Mielen zu Briesen (Lkr. Spree-Neiße) die Dörfer Mallenchen und Schadewitz zu Lehen, wie das seine vorfarren Innegehabt zu Lehn entpfangen haben. Es handelte sich um eine Wiederbelehnung nach dem Wechsel in manu dominante, d. h. nach dem Tod von Ludwig II., dem König von Böhmen, Ungarn und Kroatien in der Schlacht von Schlacht bei Mohács 1526 und dem Regierungsantritt seines Nachfolgers Ferdinand I. Dies heißt, dass die von Mielen schon geraume Zeit vorher im Besitz von Mallenchen waren. Allerdings war in diesem Lehen nicht das ganze Dorf enthalten; einige Zinsen gingen an die Herrschaft Drehna. 1519 hatte Bartusch von Mielen die Lehen seines Vaters Jan von Mylen/Mielen in der Herrschaft Cottbus, Briesen, Brahmow, einen Anteil von Guhrow, Kunersdorf und Ruben übernommen. Wir dürfen in diesem Jan von Mylen/Mielen wohl auch den Vorbesitzer von Mallenchen vermuten. Das nachweislich ab 1527 mit Mallenchen verbundene Schadewitz gehörte ursprünglich den von Buxdorf auf Bornsdorf und wurde 1489 an Götz von Wolffersdorf verkauft. Von diesem von Wolffersdorff dürfte es bald darauf an Jan von Mylen gekommen sein, und von diesem an dessen Sohn Bartusch. Bartusch von Mielen ließ schon zu seinen Lebzeiten, am 24. August 1538, seine Lehen Mallenchen und Schadewitz auf und überließ sie seinen Söhnen Wolff, Christian, Bartusch d. J. und Hans.

Die von Kracht'sche Besitzzeit
Die vier Brüder von Mielen behielten die beiden Lehen Mallenchen und Schadewitz nicht, sondern verkauften die beiden Dörfer noch im selben Jahr an Bartusch von Kracht auf Groß Rietz (Gem. Rietz-Neuendorf) und Lindenberg (Gem. Tauche). Dieser Bartusch von Kracht war mit Sophie von Schlieben aus dem Hause Baruth verheiratet. Mit ihr hatte er die drei Söhne Albrecht, Abraham und Isaac sowie die Tochter Anna (verheiratet mit Christoph von Schade). In der brüderlichen Teilung von 1577, nach des Vaters Tod, übernahm Abraham Groß Rietz, Isaac (1547–1617) das Gut Lindenberg und Albrecht die Güter Mallenchen und Schadewitz.

Albrecht von Kracht erhielt 1577 den Lehenbrief über Mallenchen und Schadewitz. Er war mit Margaretha von Zabeltitz verheiratet. 1581 kaufte er noch den Besitzteil des Esaias von Minckwitz auf Pademagk, den dieser in Mallenchen hatte, hinzu. Dies waren zwei Mallenchener Bauern mit ihren Verpflichtungen zu Pferdediensten, Korn- und Geldzinsen. Albrecht von Kracht kaufte später noch eine Hälfte des Dorfes Groß Jehser, und 1585 die Dörfer Erpitz und Garrenchen von Friedrich von Minckwitz. Das halbe Dorf Groß Jehser tauschte er aber 1596 gegen das Gut Klein Mehßow ein, das Ulrich von Wolfersdorf gehört hatte. Albrecht von Kracht ist um/vor 1597 gestorben, denn am 15. Oktober 1597 wurden seine Söhne Baltzer, Hektor und Achilles – die letzteren beiden waren noch minderjährig – mit Mallenchen, Schadewitz und Klein Mehßow belehnt. Sicher erhielten sie auch Lehnbrief(e) über Klein Mehßow, Erpitz und Garrenchen, die sich aber nicht erhalten haben.

1601 waren die drei Brüder Baltzer, Hektor und Achilles, Söhne des Albrecht von Kracht, entweder verstorben oder, was wahrscheinlicher erscheint, sie hatten ihren Besitz an Isaac von Kracht (1547–1617) auf Lindenberg verkauft. 1601 war Isaac von Kracht auf Mallenchen, Schadewitz, Erpitz und Lindenberg Lehnszeuge bei der Belehnung  des Joachim von der Schulenburg auf Löcknitz, Lübbenau, Lieberose etc. durch den damaligen Landvogt der Niederlausitz Heinrich Anselm, Freiherr von Promnitz. 1614 wird er als Bürge mit Sitz auf Mallenchen genannt. Isaac von Kracht war mit Eva von List aus dem Hause Komptendorf verheiratet, mit der er zehn Söhne und zwei Töchter hatte. Er hatte zahlreiche militärische Engagements und zivile Ämter inne, u. a. war er auch Direktor des Calauischen Kreises in der Niederlausitz. Er starb am 2. Oktober 1617 und wurde auf seinem Gut Lindenberg begraben.

Erbe von Mallenchen (mit Schadewitz und Erpitz) und Klein Mehßow war der Sohn Georg von Kracht. Am 6. Mai 1618 belehnte der brandenburgische Kurfürst Sigismund den Georg von Kracht mit Lindenberg, zwei Mühlen und anderen Gütern. Die Belehnungsurkunde mit Mallenchen und Klein Mehßow hat sich nicht erhalten. Aber am 18. Februar 1619 verleibdingte Georg von Kracht seine Frau Ursula Magdalene von Zabeltitz, Tochter des Wolf von Zabeltitz auf Reuden mit dem Gut Mallenchen. Das Gut Klein Mehßow musste er allerdings 1624 an Andreas von Klitzing auf Göllnitz und Dollenchen verkaufen. 1625 wird von einem (Groß-)Brand in Mallenchen berichtet. Georg von Kracht hatte allerdings bei der Erbteilung nach dem Tod des Vaters hohe Schulden übernehmen müssen, die er nicht tilgen konnte. So musste er 1638 für eine Schuld von 12.088 Talern bei seinem Bruder Hildebrand, Oberst und Oberhauptmann der Festung Küstrin, diesem sein Gut Mallenchen überlassen. Georg starb bald darauf am 26. Februar/8. März 1638. Hildebrand suchte noch die Lehen nach, starb jedoch ebenfalls noch im selben Jahr.

Hildebrand von Kracht hatte 1613 Anna Maria von Rintorf geheiratet, mit der er den Sohn Dietrich und zwei Töchter hatte. Anna Maria von Rintorf starb am 30. Juni 1630 in Küstrin. Hildebrand heiratete danach in zweiter Ehe Elisabeth Sophia von Rohr, Tochter des Klaus von Rohr auf Schönberg, mit der er noch die Tochter Hedwig Sophie (* 17. März 1633) hatte. Am 19. August 1638 starb Hildebrand von Kracht in Küstrin. Das Gut Lindenberg fiel an seine Tochter Hedwig Sophie, Mallenchen mit Schadewitz und Erpitz an den Sohn Dietrich von Kracht.

Dietrich von Kracht legte am 30. August 1651 den Lehenseid für Mallenchen und sein Zubehör ab. Er war mit Dorothea Magdalena Marschallin von Herrngosserstädt verheiratet. Er war Kommandant in Breslau und starb 1657 ohne Kinder zu hinterlassen. Die Witwe Dorothea Magdalena führte das Gut zunächst weiter; 1660 wurde Mallenchen versteigert. Nach der Familiengeschichte der von Zabeltitz soll 1660 noch ein von Zabeltitz Besitzer von Mallenchen gewesen sein. Quellen werden nicht genannt. Aufgrund der Besitzabfolge ist dies eher unwahrscheinlich. Denkbar wäre allenfalls, dass ein von Zabeltitz als ein Gläubiger des Dietrich von Kracht kurzzeitig im Pfandbesitz von Mallenchen war. In der Versteigerung 1660 konnten Elisabeth Sofie von Kracht, die Stiefmutter des Dietrich von Kracht und ihre Tochter Hedwig Sofie, seine Stiefschwester, Mallenchen für 8.000 Taler ersteigern. Ihr Lehensträger Alexander Jacob von Hoym auf Kittlitz wurde am 18. Dezember 1660 mit Mallenchen belehnt. Elisabeth Sofie von Kracht (geb. Rohr) starb 1662, und 1663 wurde Mallenchen in ein Erblehen umgewandelt. Alleinige Besitzerin war nun Hedwig Sophie, die in erster Ehe mit Bernhard von Arnim verheiratet war, der jedoch mit nur 40 Jahren starb. Sie heiratete dann in 2. Ehe den kurbrandenburgischen Geheimrat und Hofkammerpräsidenten Raban Freiherr von Canstein, mit dem sie drei Söhne hatte. Der älteste Sohn Friedrich Wilhelm starb jung, der zweite Sohn Philipp Ludwig fiel als Königlich-Preußischer Oberst in der Schlacht bei Malplaquet (bei Mons, Belgien) am 11. September 1709, und der dritte Sohn Carl Hildebrand stiftete später die bekannte Cansteinsche Bibelanstalt. Raban von Canstein starb am 22. März 1680 in Küstrin. Am 2. April 1680 verkaufte seine Witwe Hedwig Sophie Mallenchen mit Schadewitz und Erpitz für 11.600 Taler an Christoph von Möllendorf, der am 21. November 1682 die Belehnung erhielt. Nur wenig später verkaufte  Christoph von Möllendorf die Güter für 11.700 Taler an Johann Patow, den kurbrandenburgischen Amtmann auf Arendsee in der Altmark. Mit ihm begann die Patowsche Besitzzeit, die bis 1945 andauerte.

Die (von) Patow auf Mallenchen
Nach dem Gothaischen Genealogischen Taschenbuch 1941 stammten die bürgerlichen Patow aus Mecklenburg; sie waren dort zunächst Gutspächter. Johann (Hans) Patow (* 1. August 1642 in Güstrow, † 22. Juli 1705) war mit Sophia Dorothea Reyer (1663–1737) verheiratet. Mit ihr hatte er die Kinder Johann Friedrich, Wilhelm Dietrich und Gottfried Karl Ludwig sowie Sybille Charlotte, Lucretia Sophie und Anna. Am 10. Februar 1684 erhielt er den Erblehnbrief über Mallenchen. 1687 erwarb Johann das Gut Neudeck (Lkr. Elbe-Elster). 1691 hatte er Ärger mit Christoph Gebhardt v. Minckwitz zu Groß Jehser, der ihn wegen Fischen und Krebsfangens im Mühlenfließ verklagte. 1692 erwarb er Gliechow für 9.000 Taler und 100 Taler Gunstgeld von Georg Friedrich von Minckwitz. Von 1698 bis 1701 gehörte ihm auch das Gut Muckwar, das er jedoch für 4.000 Taler an Christian Berthold verkaufte, Amtmann und Pächter der Herrschaft Hermannsdorf. Johann Patow ist am 22. Juli 1705 zu Groß Jehser verstorben. Anscheinend führte zunächst seine Witwe Sophia Dorothea den Wirtschaftsbetrieb in Mallenchen weiter. 1710 focht sie mit der Gemeinde einen Konflikt wegen der Schafhütung aus. Sie starb am 4. April 1737 in Groß Jehser.

Erbe von Mallenchen war der Sohn Johann Friedrich (* 1. Dezember 1683, † 17. September 1755), der auch Erbherr auf Neudeck und Gliechow war. Er erhielt am 15. Juni 1706 den Erblehnbrief über Mallenchen. Johann Friedrich heiratete 1712 Johanna Christiana Edle von Zech (1696–1728). 1717 wurde er von Kaiser Karl VI. in Wien in den Reichsadel- und Ritterstand mit dem Titel Edler erhoben. Die Anerkennung in Kursachsen erfolgte 1718. 1731 wurde er Oberamtsrat der Niederlausitz. Nach dem Amtsantritt von Herzog Heinrich von Sachsen-Merseburg erhielt er am 7. Dezember 1731 einen neuen Erblehnbrief. Ein weiterer Erblehnbrief datiert vom 28. September 1741. Nach 1747 verkaufte er Neudeck an Hartmann von Landwüst. Bereits 1743 übertrug er das Gut Gliechow an seinen Sohn Bernhard Friedrich. 1748 verpachtete Johann Friedrich von Patow sein Gut Mallenchen an Marie Elisabeth Lehmann. Johann Friedrich von Patow starb am 17. September 1755.

Erbe von Mallenchen war der einzige Sohn Bernhard Friedrich von Patow (* 14. September 1713,  12. Dezember 1769 in Lübben), der am 25. September 1755 damit belehnt wurde. Er wurde wie sein Vater kursächsischer Oberamtsrat. Er war in erster Ehe mit Marie Auguste Sofie von Pognitz verheiratet. Die Ehe wurde später geschieden und blieb auch kinderlos. Er heiratete dann in zweiter Ehe Christiane Charlotte Caroline Heynemann/Haynemann. 1767 wurde der einzige Sohn Erasmus Gottfried geboren. 1769 hatte Bernhard von Patow auf Mallenchen Streitigkeiten mit der benachbarten Gemeinde Säritz wegen der Hütung und der Waldgrenzen. Am 12. Dezember 1769 starb Bernhard Friedrich von Patow. Die Witwe Christiane Charlotte Caroline heiratete in zweiter Ehe Johann Karl Gottlob von Walther und Croneck auf Frauenberg und Groß Mehßow. Sie erhielt außerdem ein Viertel des Gutes Gliechow.

Erbe von Mallenchen war der einzige Sohn Erasmus Gottfried Bernhard von Patow (* 2. Februar 1767, † 16. November 1842). Am 11. Mai 1790 verkauften seine Stiefbrüder Hans Heinrich und Friedrich August von Walter und Croneck ihm ihr väterliches Gut Groß Mehßow. Am 18. September 1790 wurde Erasmus Gottfried Bernhard von Patow in den Freiherrenstand erhoben. 1790 besaß er Mallenchen, Gliechow, Erpitz, Schadewitz und Groß Mehßow. 1790 wurden Schadewitz und Erpitz vom Gut Mallenchen abgetrennt und verkauft; die beiden Orte wurden aber später wieder zurück erworben. Erasmus Gottfried Bernhard von Patow war seit 1796 mit Johanna Friederike Marianne von Thermo (1766–1847) verheiratet. Mit ihr hatte er die Kinder Erasmus Bernhard, Robert, Caroline Friederike und Hermann. 1808 wurde er von König Friedrich Wilhelm III. von Preußen zum Kammerherrn ernannt. Am 25. Februar 1817 erhielt Erasmus Gottfried Bernhard nach dem Übergang der Niederlausitz an Preußen einen neuen Lehnbrief. Er erwarb außerdem noch Groß Jehser; das genaue Datum des Erwerbs ist allerdings unsicher. 1828 sind noch die Erben des v. Lüdicke als Besitzer genannt. Außerdem erwarb er die Güter Schadewitz und Erpitz wieder zurück. 1838 verkaufte Erasmus Gottfried Bernhard von Patow Groß Mehßow an seine Söhne Erasmus Bernhard, Alexander Hermann und Erasmus Robert. Am 16. November 1842 ist er gestorben. Erben seines großen Grundbesitzes waren seine drei Söhne.

Der umfangreiche Grundbesitz des Erasmus Gottfried Bernhard von Patow bestehend aus Mallenchen, Gliechow, Groß Mehßow, Groß Jehser, Schadewitz und Erpitz wurde nun aufgeteilt. Mit der Erbregulierung zwischen den drei Brüdern vom 8. Juli 1843 erhielt der älteste Sohn Erasmus Bernhard (Bernhard) (* 6. Oktober 1798, † 7. September 1758) Groß Jehser mit Schadewitz und Erpitz, der jüngste der drei Brüder Robert (* 10. September 1804 in Mallenchen, † 5. Januar 1890 Berlin), der spätere Oberpräsident der Provinz Brandenburg und Finanzminister, erhielt Groß Mehßow und hatte sich 1842 von der Gräfin Sophie Henriette Isabella Gräfin von Lynar noch das Rittergut Zinnitz hinzu gekauft.

Die Güter Mallenchen und Gliechow kamen an den mittleren Bruder Alexander Hermann (Hermann) (* 27. März 1801, † 3. April 1884). Er war zuerst in der preußischen Armee und brachte es dort bis zum Rittmeister. Später war er Kreisdeputierter und Mitglied des preußischen Herrenhauses auf Lebenszeit, außerdem seit 1843 Ehrenritter des Johanniterordens der Balley Brandenburg. Er heiratete am 1. Juni 1831 Franzisca Gräfin und Edle Frau zur Lippe-Biesterfeld-Weißenfeld (* 1808),  mit der er die Tochter Alexandrine und die fünf Söhne Bernhard (* 26. April 1832), Kurt (* 19. August 1836), Egon (* 23. November 1837), Konrad Hermann (* 6. Juli 1847) und Franz (* 2. April 1849) hatte. Er erhielt unter dem 13. April 1849 noch einen letzten Lehenbrief für Mallenchen. Durch Verfügung vom 11. Juli 1851 wurde der Lehensstatus von Mallenchen gelöscht, und das Gut ging in Vollbesitz des Hermann von Patow über. 1854 wurde er zum Mitglied des preußischen Herrenhauses gewählt. Hermann von Patow starb am 3. April 1884 in Mallenchen. Der väterliche Grundbesitz bestehend aus Gliechow und Mallenchen wurde unter zwei Söhnen aufgeteilt. Das Gut Gliechow ging an den zweitältesten Sohn Kurt.

Erbe von Mallenchen war der älteste Sohn Bernhard (* 26. April 1832, † 25. März 1917). Er diente zuerst in der preußischen Armee, wo er bis zum Major aufstieg. Am 6. Oktober 1863 heiratete er in Breslau Emma von Walsleben (* 25. August 1844). Bernhard Freiherr von Patow war 1914 Regierungsrat in Allenstein (Ostpreußen). Er hatte Ernst Bürger zum Verwalter des Gutsbetriebes in Mallenchen bestellt. Das Gut Mallenchen hatte damals eine Gesamtgröße von 418,5 ha. Davon waren 175 ha Acker, 46 ha Wiesen, 7,5 ha Weiden, 168 ha Wald und 22 ha Unland und Wasser. Auf dem Hof wurden 15 Pferde, 95 Stück Rindvieh, davon 40 Milchkühe, 314 Schweine und 99 Schafe gehalten. Zum Gutsbetrieb gehörten auch eine Ziegelei sowie eine Mahlmühle und eine Sägemühle. Die Wassermühle lag an der Schrake, die Sägemühle am südlichen Dorfende. Der Grundsteuerreinertrag wurde auf 3595 Mark veranschlagt. Bernhard von Patow starb am 25. März 1917 in Mallenchen.

Der einzige Sohn und vorgesehene Erbe von Mallenchen war der Sohn Bernhard (* 25. August 1869). der am 20. Mai 1915 in Galizien gefallen war. Er war mit Gertrud Auguste Luise Boden (* 17. August 1879) verheiratet. Nach dem Tod von Bernhard d, Ä. 1917 übernahm dessen Schwiegertochter Gertrud die Leitung des Gutes Mallenchen. Ihr Sohn Hermann Bernhard Walter (Hermann) (* 5. Dezember 1904, † 12. Dezember 1935 in Berlin) war zu diesem Zeitpunkt erst 12 Jahre alt. Hermann heiratete 1930 Eva von Massow (1903–1996) von Groß Volz (Krs. Rummelsburg). Hermann starb mit nur 31 Jahren 1935 in Berlin. Aus dieser Ehe ging der Sohn Alexander hervor. Durch den frühen Tod ihres Mannes und dann ihres Sohnes Hermann führte Gertrud von Patow den Wirtschaftsbetrieb des Gutes Mallenchen bis 1945.

Niekammer nennt aber für 1929 Gertrud verwitwete Freifrau von Patow als Besitzerin von Mallenchen, Das Gut hatte damals eine Gesamtgrö0e von 412 ha, davon waren 140 ha Acker, 41 ha Wiesen, 7 ha Weiden, 202 ha Wald, und 22 ha Unland und Wasser. Der Tierbestand belief sich auf 15 Pferde, 58 Stück Rindvieh, davon 24 Kühe, 164 Schweine und 40 Schafe. Vermutlich übernahm der Sohn Hermann Mallenchen für einige Jahre die Führung des Gutes. Durch seinen frühen Tod 1935 übernahm jedoch wieder Getrud Freifrau von Patow. die Leitung.

Die Adressbücher des Kreises Calau für die Jahre 1937 und 1941 nennen als Bewohnerinnen des Gutshauses Mallenchen Freifrau Gertrud von Patow und ihre Schwiegertochter Freifrau Eva von Patow. Sie hatten 1937 Hans May als Inspektor für den Gutsbetrieb angestellt. Ab 1940 war Mallenchen an den Grafen zu Lynar-Lübbenau verpachtet. Die Familie von Patow wurde nach 1945 enteignet.

Nach 1945 wurden im Gutshaus zunächst Wohnungen und eine Schule eingerichtet. Später war die Gemeindeverwaltung in dem Gebäude untergebracht. 1968 erfolgte eine Sanierung, wobei die Dachgauben entfernt wurden. Das Gebäude ist eingetragenes Baudenkmal und heute in Privatbesitz.

Kommunale Geschichte
Mallenchen war immer recht klein und deutlich geprägt vom Rittergut. 1708 lebten in Mallenchen nur ein Bauer, acht Kossäten und zwei Büdner. Etwas widersprüchlich sind die Angaben von 1718, nach denen nur sieben Kossäten und zwei Häusler in Mallenchen wohnten. Das Dorf hatte damals 500 Gulden Schatzung, nach der die Steuern berechnet wurden, die der Grundherr abzuführen hatte. Nach Krausch wurde bei Mallenchen auch Weinbau betrieben. Zeuzsch nennt für 1792 dagegen wieder einen Bauern, acht Kossäten und zwei Büdner. 1810 hatte sich die Bevölkerungsstruktur dann doch etwas verändert. Angegeben sind nun acht (Ganz-)Kossäten und acht Häusler oder Büdner. Schon 1818 wird neben der Wassermühle an der Schrake eine unbewohnte Ziegelei genannt. Die Ziegelei lag an der südlichen Markungsgrenze zu Klein Mehßow hin. Das Dorf hatte damals 130 Einwohner, die in 17 Häusern wohnten. Die Wassermühle hatte neun Einwohner in einem Wohngebäude. Wassermühle und Ziegelei werden auch 1844 genannt. Das Dorf hatte nun einschließlich der Wassermühle 166 Einwohner, die sich auf 25 Häuser verteilten. Im Urmesstischblatt 4249 Calau von 1846 ist neben der Wassermühle an der Schrake und der Sägemühle südlich des Dorfes auch ein Eiskeller verzeichnet.

Der Gemeindebezirk war verglichen zum Gutsbezirk sehr klein. Berghaus gibt (für 1852) eine Gesamtgrö0e von 1501  Morgen und 155 Quadratruten für das Rittergut an. Davon waren 400 Morgen 160 Quadratruten Acker, 51 Morgen 59 Quadratruten Wiesen, 612 Morgen 27 Quadratruten Forst. 1869 maß der Gemeindebezirk nur 371 Morgen gegen 1608 Morgen des Gutsbezirks (1900 waren die entsprechenden Zahlen in Hektar: 94 ha für den Gemeindebezirk, 410 ha für den Gutsbezirk). 1871 zählte man im Gemeindebezirk nur sieben Wohnhäuser mit 47 Einwohnern, im Gutsbezirk dagegen 17 Wohngebäude mit 108 Einwohnern.

Riehl und Scheu nennen für 1861 dagegen nur 20 Häuser (wohl irrtümlich) und 161 Einwohner. Nach dem Generaladressbuch von 1879 gehörten Wassermühle und Ziegelei zum Gutsbesitz. Im Messtischblatt von 1903 ist nördlich der Ziegelei eine Lehmgrube eingezeichnet. Die Ziegelei wird auch noch 1914 erwähnt. Wann die Ziegelei eingegangen ist, ist nicht genau bekannt. In Niekammers Güter-Adressbuch 1923 ist sie aber nicht mehr erwähnt. Auch im Messtischblatt 4249 Calau von 1939 (berichtigt 1925) fehlt nun die Ziegelei. In den späten 1930er Jahren wurde die Reichsautobahn 60, die heutige Bundesautobahn 13 östlich an Mallenchen vorbei gebaut. Der Streckenabschnitt wurde aber erst 1940 und einbahnig dem Verkehr übergeben.

Die Mallenchener Wassermühlen
1706 wurde die Wassermühle an der Schrake westlich des Gutshauses neu erbaut (Inschrift). Ob es ein völliger Neubau war oder ob lediglich ein älteres Mühlengebäude durch einen Neubau ersetzt wurde, ließ sich bisher nicht ermitteln. 1780 war Gottfried Pielenz Pächter der Mallenchener Wassermühle. 1820 wohnten in dem einen Wohngebäude neun Personen. 1842 wird Mallenchen als Dorf mit einer Wassermühle beschrieben. Das Urmesstischblatt 4249 Calau von 1846 zeigt aber neben der Wassermühle an der Schrake eine zweite Wassermühle am Südende des Dorfes; sie ist als Sägemühle ausgewiesen. Diese Sägemühle wurde vom Wasser eines aufgestauten Teiches angetrieben, der sein Wasser von einem von Klein Mehßow herkommenden Fließ erhielt. Die Wassermühle war im direkten Besitz des Gutes. Infolge dessen erhielt der Ritterguts- und Wassermühlenbesitzer von Patow die Mahlzwangsentschädigung.

Riehl und Scheu nennen als Besitzer der Wassermühle einen Mann namens Liebmann. 1864 lautet die Beschreibung: Dorf mit 1 Wasser-Mahl- u. Schneidemühle und einer Ziegelei. Die Kurzbeschreibung lässt nicht eindeutig auf zwei Mühlen schließen. Denkbar wäre auch, dass beide Wassermühlen nur einen Besitzer hatten, der beide Mühlen gepachtet hatte. Nach Wendland und Wendland soll die Wassermühle an der Schrake auch als Försterwohnung genutzt worden sein. Im Messtischblatt 4249 Calau von 1939 (berichtigt 1925) fehlt nun die Sägemühle. Das Mühlensymbol für die Wassermühle an der Schrake ist aber noch vorhanden. Das Adressbuch Calau von 1937 führt als einzigen Mühlenbetreiber in Mallenchen Karl Winzer als Mühlenpächter an. 1941 ist dieser Karl Winzer aber als Landwirt bezeichnet. Nach Jensch sollen zwei Generationen der Familie Winzer Pächter der Mallenchener Wassermühle gewesen sein, also wahrscheinlich schon der Vater des Karl Winzer. Der Mühlenbetrieb wurde zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges eingestellt. Aufgrund von Bergbauschäden durch den nahen Tagebau Schlabendorf-Süd wurden die Gebäude in den 1970er Jahren abgerissen. In Jensch ist ein Aquarell der Mallenchener Wassermühle publiziert.

Kommunale Zugehörigkeit
Bis 1815 gehörte Mallenchen zum Calauischen Kreis der böhmisch-sächsischen Niederlausitz. Nach dem Wiener Kongress kam Mallenchen 1815 mit der gesamten Niederlausitz an das Königreich Preußen und gehörte nun zum Landkreis Calau. Mallenchen wurde schließlich am 1. Juli 1950 nach Gliechow eingemeindet, und die beiden Gemarkungen wurden vereinigt. Danach gehörte der Ort zum 1952 neu gegründeten, stark verkleinerten Kreis Calau im Bezirk Cottbus der DDR. Gliechow und Mallenchen wurden am 1. Mai 1974 nach Groß Jehser eingegliedert. Gliechow wurde 1978/1979 durch den Braunkohlentagebau Schlabendorf-Süd devastiert.

1992 schloss sich Groß Jehser (mit dem Ortsteil Mallenchen) mit 11 anderen Gemeinden und der Stadt Calau zum Amt Calau zusammen. Am 31. Dezember 2001 wurde Groß Jehser mit Mallenchen und den Orten Buckow, Gollmitz, Craupe und Zinnitz in die Stadt Calau eingegliedert. 2003 wurden die letzten Gemeinden des Amtes Calau per Gesetz in die Stadt Calau eingegliedert und das Amt Calau aufgelöst. Groß Jehser ist seither ein Ortsteil der Stadt Calau. Mallenchen hat den Status eines Gemeindeteils von Groß Jehser.

Thoughts from a geek about movies, television, and entertainment in general.
The Mandalorian - Episode 1.05 - Chapter 5 - Review
Friday, December 06, 2019 By Matt Vernier
The Mandalorian may be one of the best things on TV, but it is still TV. It fell into that common pitfall of TV, by treading water for a couple of episodes before it gets back to the main story. Episode 5, called "The Gunslinger" was entertaining enough, but definitely a side quest instead of contributing to the main story.
Dave Filoni directed this episode, which saw a return to Tatooine and Mos Eisley Cantina! The Cantina is much more accepting now, as there is a droid working there, when just a few years back, there were no droids even allowed in there.
The fan service didn't stop there though, even when it introduced us to the character of the week, he was sitting in the same spot - and nearly the same pose - as when we first meet Han Solo in A New Hope.
The episode is pretty self contained but also very familiar. Someone on the run hides their damaged ship on Tatooine, and then has to go find the money in order to pay for the repairs. Is this The Mandalorian, or The Phantom Menace-lorian?
Filoni and Favreau managed to get most of the Tatooine references in there. They mentioned Mos Eisley, Mos Espa, Beggar's Canyon, the Dune Sea, and The Hutts. They weren't overtly shoehorned in, but they were definitely worked in on purpose.
The big takeaway from the episode was the introduction of Ming-Na Wen's assassin character, Fennec Shand. She was pretty formidable, and it felt like she went out too easy. So the last scene of a mysterious figure finding her makes sense. She will probably be recovered and show up again. As to who that mysterious figure is, one name sticks out like a Bantha amongst Jawas: Boba Fett.
In the new Disney canon, there is no confirmation if he survived the Sarlaac pit or not. He could play a supporting role in the narrative, and maybe take a big one on later. He has been a fan favorite, and I could see this show giving him a new story. But I hope it doesn't happen.
For Star Wars being such a widespread and sprawling "universe", it is awfully small. Everyone is related, or connected in some way. Even non-Skywalker-Saga stuff is "Skywalker adjacent" like Rogue One, and Solo. The Mandalorian feels so special because it is a new story with new characters in the world of Star Wars. To bring Boba Fett in feels like a crutch. The story might be compelling, which will make it sting less, but the more interesting route would be to have that person who rescued Fennec to be someone completely new.
The episode was fun in a bubble. If the show was always going to be "A bounty hunter takes a different case every week" and was presented as a procedural, "The Gunslinger" would be a perfectly sufficient episode. But there is a much bigger story to tell, so these last two episodes have felt like the show is just treading water right now. It is still fun, still gorgeously shot, still has lots of action and adventure, but just a little bit empty.
In a 23 episode season, it is understandable to have a bit of filler. But 8 episodes? It is a bit less acceptable when there is only 3 episodes left to tell the story. Still, The Mandalorian has accrued enough good credit to be able to withstand this.
You can read all of my previous reviews on The Mandalorian right here.
The Mandalorian is now streaming, exclusively on Disney+.

Justice League - Review
Saturday, November 18, 2017 By Matt Vernier
When I was a kid I never would have believed that I would have seen all of my favorite superheroes in a live action movie on the big screen. A Justice League movie should be a reason to celebrate! Well, a Justice League movie did come out, and while it was laced with fun moments, those moments were engulfed in a cocoon of problems that really brought the film down a few notches.

Earlier this month, Marvel brought Captain Marvel to the big screen. Now DC brings their Captain Marvel (rechristened "Shazam" by DC, and many other names by characters in this movie) to the big screen. It is a film that is heavy on the humor, has a lot of heart, but doesn't quite land emotionally.

ESPN Connects on Double-Digit MLB Gains
Fox Nets Back-to-Back All-Star Game Increases
Mike Reynolds
There's good and bad Nielsen news for ESPN on the diamond.
The worldwide leader registered gains during the first half of its silver anniversary season with Major League Baseball, but the latest iteration of the Home Run Derby, which was delayed by rain, whiffed with many watchers.
Though 42 games, ESPN averaged a 0.9 U.S. household rating and 1.24 million watchers, gains of 13% and 11%, respectively, through the same stage of the 2013 MLB campaign.
As to 25th anniversary run of Sunday Night Baseball, ESPN rang up gains of 8% to a 1.3 rating from a 1.2, and 9% to a 1.98 million from 1.83 million, according to Nielsen data. SNB notched 2 million watchers with its most-recent telecast on July 13, as the Baltimore Orioles topped the New York Yankees (pictured) in a rain-shortened contest.
Meanwhile, network officials report that MLB games on WatchESPN were up 72% in average minute audience and 68% in unique viewers during the first half of the season.
The Home Run Derby, with Gillette supplanting State Farm in the title sponsor part of the lineup, averaged a 3.4 rating and 5.4 million on July 14, off 17% and 19% from its 4.1 and 6.7 million viewers a year ago.
This year's telecast was hurt by a one-hour rain delay at Target Field in Minneapolis, and perhaps by a new format in which five-man American and National League squads only had seven outs per round, instead of the previous 10.
According to SportsMedia Watch, the 3.4 rating was the lowest for the event since at least 1997 (ratings prior to 1998 were not available), a tad below the 3.5 mark in 2003.
Relative to the Midsummer Classic itself, Fox garnered a 7.0 rating and 11.3 viewers, according to Nielsen fast national data, with its presentation of a 5-3 win for the junior circuit in a telecast that paid tribute to retiring Yankees captain Derek Jeter. That was up 1% and 3% from a 6.9 mark and 11 million watchers for the 2013 event.
Fox's July 15 telecast marked 3% and 4% advances from the 6.8 and 10.9 million viewers for the 2012 All-Star Game, giving the affair its first back-to-back ratings amelioration since 1993 and 1994, and its best performance since 2010.
Early tune-in for the All-Star Game was strong, as interest in Jeter's final All-Star Game appearance drove viewing 9% to a 7.5 rating for the game's first full half-hour from 8: 30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The numbers were consistently in each half until 10 p.m. – 12.3 million in the 8:30-9 p.m. period and 12.2 million in the 9 p.m. hour – while the venerable shortstop remained in the game. Jeter was pulled by All-Star Game manager, Boston Red Sox skipper John Farrell, after taking the field in the top of the fourth, to thunderous applause and "New York, New York" playing on the stadium's loud speakers.

Capital Planning & Strategic Project Development
Project & Planning Business Systems
Home / About Us / Capital priorities
Capital priorities overview
UBC maintains a comprehensive plan for the development and renewal of institutional infrastructure to meet evolving academic needs as well as the needs of our growing campus communities. Some of the recent priority capital projects for the UBC Vancouver campus include: the Orchard Commons mixed-use student housing facility, which is the home for the UBC Vantage College; expansion of the Brimacombe/Advanced Materials & Process Engineering Laboratory building for the the Quantum Matter Institute; renewal and expansion of undergraduate Chemistry and Life Sciences teaching laboratories; the B.C. Integrated Research Library, a high density storage facility to house 1.7 million volumes from all B.C. research universities; and a new Aquatic Centre which provides student athletes with a state-of-the-art training and competition facility, and the larger campus community (students, faculty, staff and residents) with an on-campus recreational facility.
Our UBC Okanagan campus has just completed the final stages of a major capital expansion. Future projects for this campus include an expansion of the existing Library and development of new student residences, both intended to meet the needs of a rapidly growing campus population. A complete list of planned projects for UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan is provided in this website. This list continues to be refined as our Capital Plan evolves, projects are completed and new projects advanced.
UBC Five-Year Capital Plan 2020-21 to 2025-26
To provide high-level understanding of public post-secondary institutional capital requirements and to develop priorities for future consideration, the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training (AEST) annually requests Five-Year Capital Plan submissions. The Five-Year Capital Plan provides AEST with an understanding of UBC's capital requirements for new priority expansion projects, replacement/renewal projects and capital innovation projects.
UBC has developed a jointly funded Capital Plan which addresses core academic needs, aligns with Provincial priorities and was developed in accordance with the University's established Capital Planning Principles. The proposed projects were selected by the UBC Executive based on their potential to contribute to the University's strategic priorities, operational performance and risk mitigation priorities. These projects were prioritized from a longer list of Academic Facilities projects identified through on-going consultation with Faculties and Departments.
The proposed projects were evaluated and prioritized using an assessment model that considered how each project contributes to the University's strategic objectives and operational performance & risk mitigation objectives. The prioritization criteria were as follows:
1. University Strategic Priorities
Support for Academic Renewal – 10% (New for 2020)
People & Places – 15% weighting
Research Excellence – 30%
Transformative Learning – 30%
Local & Global Engagement – 15%
2. Operational Performance and Risk Mitigation
Health & Safety (e.g. seismic risk) – 25%
Performance & Reliability (e.g. deferred maintenance) – 25%
Legal / Regulatory / Reputation – 25%
Business Case – 25%
The criteria weighting under the Strategic Priorities areas has been changed since 2019, reflecting feedback from the UBC community through the course of consultation. Greater weighting has been assigned to research excellence and transformative learning, and support for Academic Renewal (the President's Academic Excellence Initiative) has been added. Final selection of recommended projects for the Five-Year Capital Plan included consideration of additional factors such as alignment with government priorities, funding potential, current state of project development, and other strategic considerations.
Input on the capital planning process and capital priorities was sought and received from the following groups:
Committee of Deans and Deans' Council (Vancouver and Okanagan, respectively)
Property & Planning Advisory Committee
Senate Academic Building Needs Committee
Vancouver Subcommittee of the Council of Senates Budget Committee
Alma Mater Society, UBC Students' Union Okanagan (pending)
Graduate Student Society
Building Operations and Energy & Water Services, UBC Okanagan Campus Operations
UBC Properties Trust (for information)
The proposed UBC Five-Year Capital Plan includes priority academic projects totalling $1,559 million with a request to the Provincial Government for $761.5 million in funding. Demolitions or renovations associated with the new construction would reduce UBC's deferred maintenance by $217 million and improve seismic ratings on specific buildings. The approved Five-Year Capital Plan will be submitted to the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills & Training when requested, likely in July 2020.
UBC Five-Year Capital Plan: Priority Academic Projects
The UBC Five-Year Capital Plan includes strategic academic projects which support UBC priorities and focus on transformative learning and research excellence. The proposed projects are intended to align with Provincial government priorities, in particular health, economic development and facility asset renewal. These projects are shown in the context of UBC's current list of Facilities Priorities (Academic, Student Experience, Campus Operations) which is presented at the April and September Board meetings in the Capital Projects Update report.
As careful prioritization of proposed capital projects is critical to ensure that limited capital is directed to help UBC achieve its goals, these projects have been ranked to align with UBC's strategic and operational objectives.
The projects proposed are shown in the following table:

Hair Removal - What Are Your Choices?
Hair Removal – What Are Your Choices?
If you struggle with hairy issues, don't worry. You are not alone. Hair removal ranks as one of the most common aesthetic procedures in the world. Hair removal can be done purely for cosmetic reasons, or sometimes medical ones – such as ingrown hair causing scarring. Particularly for ladies, hair removal is becoming an essential activity of the grooming ritual rather than an indulgence.Many methods of hair removal are available. Depending on which method you choose, this unavoidable ritual can be can be painful, expensive or time-consuming.
With so many ways to get rid of body hair, from shaving to waxing to laser hair removal, what are the pros and cons of each method? Here's everything you need to know about shaving, waxing, depilatory cream, laser removal, and IPL.
Shaving can cause skin irritation and inflammation of the hair follicles.
WHAT We should all be most familiar with this option. Shaving is probably our first experience when we wanted to remove body hair. Shaving is probably the most convenient way to remove body hair. Shaving removes surface hair and slices the hairs down to the same level as the skin.
COST Anywhere between S$2 and $30 depending on what type of manual shaver you choose. It is recommended to replace the blades every 10 to 15 days. Electric shavers can cost up to $750.
PAIN SCALE 4 or 8 (if you cut yourself). Even if you don't cut yourself, there is a high chance you can suffer from annoying effects like razor burns and razor bumps from all the shaving you do.
HAIR REGROWTH The hairs will grow back in less than 3 days as the hairs above the skin surface are removed.
WHAT Probably one of the most uncomfortable option to remove body hair because the process involves removing the hair from the root – one area at a time. You apply hot wax to the skin which sticks to the hairs. Once the hairs are firmly held by the wax after the wax hardens, the wax strip is then quickly ripped off, pulling the hairs with it.
COST Usually anywhere between $15 to $150 depending on the area.
PAIN SCALE Undeniably a 9. Removing large amount of hairs from an area can be quite painful. Not forgetting you can possibly be scalded by the hot wax if the treatment is not done properly.
HAIR REGROWTH It takes about 7-10 days before you will see some hair growth again since the hairs are removed from the roots.
WHAT Depilatory cream works by dissolving the hairs. Generous amount of cream is smeared on the area and you leave it in for a few minutes. Wipe it off and the area will be smooth. These depilatory creams remove only surface hairs. They work well only on fine hairs as the chemical in the creams generally don't respond very well to coarser hairs. The chemicals present in the cream are mainly calcium thioglycolate and sodium hydroxide. These chemicals cause strong and offensive odour. Some creams may contain additional fragrances to mask the smell and as a result, these additional chemicals may also cause irritation to the skin.
COST Usually anywhere between $10 to $30.
HAIR REGROWTH Hair regrowth is very fast and you have to do this very often because only surface hairs are removed – Probably 3 days or less. Hair regrowth rate is similar to shaving.
WHAT Laser hair removal technology works by delivering heat to the unwanted hair and damage the follicles. It destroys the follicles and prevents them from producing more hair. Note that laser hair removal is approved by FDA for hair reduction and not hair removal. This means that there is still a chance for hair to regrow. Laser hair removal can be expensive and there can be side effects ranging from itching, swelling and redness at the treated area.
COST Starts from $50 for small area to $1,800 for big areas.
PAIN SCALE 6. It is usually described as being snapped by rubber bands repeatedly. How painful it is depends on what your tolerance level is.
HAIR REGROWTH It takes about 8 to 10 sessions of regular treatments in the initial phase to curb the hair growth.
WHAT As the name suggests, IPL uses a light-based devise to destroy the hair follicles. IPL works by emitting light which is then absorbed by the pigment in the hair. It heats the pigment which then destroys the growing cells responsible for hair growth. IPL works best on people with fair skin and dark hair. This treatment may not be appropriate for people with darker skin. For people who tend to suffer from ingrown hairs, IPL is a good solution to curb hair growth instead of shaving daily.
COST Starts from $25 for small area to $900 for big areas.
PAIN SCALE 4. It is usually described as sudden burst of bright light with slight warmth. The treatment is usually described as comfortable but there may be some burning smell because the hair follicles and pigments are destroyed during the treatment.
HAIR REGROWTH It takes about 8 to 10 sessions of regular treatment once every 3 weeks to see reduction of hair growth.
IPL is an excellent treatment to removal hair. However, it is not suitable for darker skin types (5 and 6). Laser hair removal will be a better choice in these cases. For both IPL and Laser, temporary side effects such as itching, redness, swelling around treatment area or swelling of the follicles can occur. These are often more severe in laser hair removal compared to IPL as the energy delivered is higher. All things aside, IPL hair removal is a more cost-effective hair removal treatment, with less discomfort, and with similar results to laser hair removal.

DANAHER OVERVIEW PRESENTATION
DBS INVESTOR PRESENTATION
Danaher Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Results
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR) (the "Company") today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019. All results in this release reflect only continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2019, net earnings were $792.9 million, or $1.07 per diluted share which represents a 11.5% year-over-year increase from the comparable 2018 period.
Non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per share for the fourth quarter 2019 were $1.28 which represents a 12.5% increase over the comparable 2018 period. For the fourth quarter 2019, revenues increased 5.5% year-over-year to $4.9 billion, with non-GAAP core revenue growth of 6.0%.
For the full year 2019, net earnings were $2.4 billion, or $3.26 per diluted share which represents a 4.0% year-over-year decrease. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per share for 2019 were $4.42 per share, which represents a 9.0% increase over the comparable 2018 amount. Revenues for the full year 2019 increased 5.0% to $17.9 billion, with non-GAAP core revenue growth of 6.0%.
For the first quarter 2020, the Company anticipates that diluted net earnings per share will be in the range of $0.78 to $0.81 and non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per share will be in the range of $1.06 to $1.09.
For the full year 2020, the Company anticipates that diluted net earnings per share will be in the range of $3.96 to $4.06 and non-GAAP adjusted diluted net earnings per share will be $4.80 to $4.90, which assumes non-GAAP core revenue growth of approximately 5.0%. These first quarter and full year 2020 estimated results do not include the impact of earnings from the pending GE Biopharma acquisition, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2020.
Thomas P. Joyce, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our fourth quarter results wrapped up a tremendous 2019 for Danaher. For the full year, we achieved 6.0% core revenue growth with solid margin expansion and cash flow. We continued to capture market share in many of our businesses through new product innovation and enhanced commercial execution. In addition, we completed the split-off of our Dental platform in December and announced the pending acquisition of GE's Biopharma business."
Joyce added, "Through a combination of organic and inorganic initiatives, we have transformed Danaher into a higher growth, higher margin and higher recurring revenue company with leading positions in attractive end-markets. Our portfolio today -combined with the power of the Danaher Business System - positions us well to continue to deliver long-term shareholder value."

Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets in the following historical and forecasted periods ($ in millions) (only the pretax amounts set forth below are reflected in the amortization line item above):
Pretax
After-tax
Pretax costs incurred (or anticipated to be incurred, as applicable) for transaction costs deemed significant and integration preparation costs in the three-month period ended December 31, 2019, ($30 million pretax as reported in this line item, $27 million after-tax), the year ended December 31, 2019, ($93 million pretax as reported in this line item, $84 million after-tax), the three-month period ending April 3, 2020, ($74 million pretax as reported in this line item, $66 million after-tax) and the year ending December 31, 2020, ($84 million pretax as reported in this line item, $74 million after-tax) related to the anticipated GE Biopharma acquisition. The costs in the three-month period ending April 3, 2020 anticipate a closing of the anticipated GE Biopharma acquisition in the three-month period ending April 3, 2020. The Company deems acquisition-related transaction costs incurred in a given period to be significant (generally relating to the Company's larger acquisitions) if it determines that such costs exceed the range of acquisition-related transaction costs typical for Danaher in a given period.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt resulting from "make-whole" payments associated with the retirement of the 2020 U.S. Notes and the 2020 Assumed Pall Notes ($7 million pretax as reported in this line item, $5 million after-tax) in both the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2019.
Loss on partial settlement of a defined benefit plan resulting from the transfer of a portion of Danaher's non-U.S. pension liabilities to a third party ($7 million pretax as reported in this line item, $6 million after-tax) in both the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2019.
Acquisition-related transaction costs deemed significant ($15 million pretax as reported in this line item, $13 million after-tax), and fair value adjustments to inventory ($1 million pretax as presented in this line item, $0.8 million after-tax), in each case related to the acquisition of IDT and incurred in the second quarter of 2018.
Gain on resolution of acquisition-related matters in the Life Sciences segment ($9 million pretax as reported in this line item, $7 million after-tax) recognized in the second quarter of 2018.
This line item reflects the aggregate tax effect of all nontax adjustments reflected in the preceding line items of the table. In addition, the footnotes above indicate the after-tax amount of each individual adjustment item. Danaher estimates the tax effect of each adjustment item by applying Danaher's overall estimated effective tax rate to the pretax amount, unless the nature of the item and/or the tax jurisdiction in which the item has been recorded requires application of a specific tax rate or tax treatment, in which case the tax effect of such item is estimated by applying such specific tax rate or tax treatment. The MCPS dividends are not tax deductible and therefore the tax effect of the adjustments does not include any tax impact of the MCPS dividends.
Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2019, include the impact of net discrete tax gains of $12 million (or $0.02 per diluted share) and discrete tax charges of $215 million (or $0.29 per diluted share), respectively. Discrete tax adjustments and other tax-related adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2018, include the impact of net discrete tax gains of $39 million (or $0.05 per diluted share). The discrete tax matters relate primarily to changes in estimates associated with prior period uncertain tax positions and audit settlements, net of the release of valuation allowances associated with certain foreign tax credits and tax benefits resulting from a change in law. The Company anticipates excess tax benefits from stock compensation of approximately $7 million per quarter and therefore excludes benefits in excess of this amount in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share from Continuing Operations.
In March 2019, the Company issued $1.65 billion in aggregate liquidation preference of Danaher's 4.75% MCPS. Dividends on the MCPS are payable on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 4.75% on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. Unless earlier converted, each share of MCPS will automatically convert on April 15, 2022 into between 6.6531 and 8.1500 shares of Danaher's common stock, subject to further anti-dilution adjustments. The number of shares of Danaher's common stock issuable on conversion of the MCPS will be determined based on the VWAP per share of our common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately before April 15, 2022. For the purposes of calculating adjusted earnings per share, the Company has excluded the paid and anticipated MCPS cash dividends and assumed the "if-converted" method of share dilution (the incremental shares of common stock deemed outstanding applying the "if-converted" method of calculating share dilution are referred to as the "Converted Shares.") The Company believes that using the "if-converted" method provides additional insight to investors on the anticipated impact of the MCPS once they are converted into common stock no later than April 15, 2022.
Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
Each of the non-GAAP measures set forth above should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing Danaher Corporation's ("Danaher" or the "Company") results that, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, help our investors to:
with respect to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share from Continuing Operations, understand the long-term profitability trends of our business and compare our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers;
with respect to core revenue from continuing operations, identify underlying growth trends in our business and compare our revenue performance with prior and future periods and to our peers.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures to measure the Company's operating and financial performance, and uses core revenue and non-GAAP measures similar to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share from Continuing Operations in the Company's executive compensation program.
The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures set forth above have been excluded for the following reasons:
With respect to Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share from Continuing Operations:
We exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions we consummate. While we have a history of significant acquisition activity we do not acquire businesses on a predictable cycle, and the amount of an acquisition's purchase price allocated to intangible assets and related amortization term are unique to each acquisition and can vary significantly from acquisition to acquisition. Exclusion of this amortization expense facilitates more consistent comparisons of operating results over time between our newly acquired and long-held businesses, and with both acquisitive and non-acquisitive peer companies. We believe however that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation and that intangible asset amortization related to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized.
We exclude costs incurred pursuant to discrete restructuring plans that are fundamentally different (in terms of the size, strategic nature and planning requirements, as well as the inconsistent frequency, of such plans) from the ongoing productivity improvements that result from application of the Danaher Business System. Because these restructuring plans are incremental to the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business and we believe are not indicative of Danaher's ongoing operating costs in a given period, we exclude these costs to facilitate a more consistent comparison of operating results over time.
With respect to the other items excluded, we exclude these items because they are of a nature and/or size that occur with inconsistent frequency, occur for reasons that may be unrelated to Danaher's commercial performance during the period and/or we believe that such items may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
Danaher's Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock ("MCPS") will mandatorily convert into Danaher common stock on the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be April 15, 2022 (unless converted or redeemed earlier in accordance with the terms of the applicable certificate of designations). On the prior pages, we present the earnings per share-related measures on a basis which assumes the MCPS had already been converted as of the beginning of the applicable period (and accordingly also exclude the dividends that were actually paid on the MCPS during such period, since such dividends would no longer be paid once the MCPS convert). We believe this presentation provides useful information to investors by helping them understand what the net impact will be on Danaher's earnings per share-related measures once the MCPS convert into Danaher common stock.
With respect to core revenue from continuing operations, (1) we exclude the impact of currency translation because it is not under management's control, is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends, and (2) we exclude the effect of acquisitions and divested product lines because the timing, size, number and nature of such transactions can vary significantly from period-to-period and between us and our peers, which we believe may obscure underlying business trends and make comparisons of long-term performance difficult.
