Last July, when most of his fellow classmates were prepping for high school final exams, 18-year-old Russell Bierke was busy surfing gargantuan Teahupoo. But such is life for a teenager who chases heavy slabs and massive waves around the world. Much to the detriment of his attendance record, the Ulladulla, New South Wales local has spent the last few years studying swell charts and getting comfortable at breaks like Ours, The Right, and Shipstern Bluff. He's since graduated from high school and spent the last two months in Hawaii, charging both Pipe and Jaws. A few weeks after I first watched from the channel at Pe'ahi as the kid nabbed giant after giant, I called him to talk about what it was like growing up in a Big-Wave World and how he hopes to make the BWWT someday.
Were your teachers pretty tolerant of you ditching school to go surf monster waves?
My teachers were pretty supportive. I just had to catch up on my work when I got back. It was hard to balance surfing and school because you can't really time when a swell hits. It was definitely a challenge, but I'm glad I graduated.
Did you do the whole contest thing growing up, or did you steer clear of that route?
Yeah, until I was 15 or 16, I entered pretty much every contest on [Australia's] east coast. But I remember being so bummed if there was a swell at home when I was going to grovel in 2-foot beachie. I figured I'd be better off spending my time and money chasing good waves, which is what I really like to do.
How'd you first get into surfing big waves?
My dad grew up surfing big waves in Hawaii and would always go to the Outer Reefs. Growing up in Australia, I was always begging him to take me with him. When he finally thought I was ready, he took me down to Bells Beach in Victoria during a big swell. I was only 12, and it was huge — 10 to 12 feet with hardly anyone out. We had to paddle out from the beach around the corner. It was just washing all the way down to the bottom. I was freaked out and got the biggest wave I had ever seen right on the head. That kind of calmed me down, because I handled it. I caught one wave and rode it for a bit and was hooked after that.
So your dad had quite an influence on this path you've taken as a surfer?
He's pretty much the reason I surf. I grew up on the beach at Rocky Point watching him surf. He never pushed me, but I did get that drive to want to surf from him. He shaped for over 15 years on the North Shore, so he's always shaped my boards, too.
Did you get to spend much time on the North Shore this winter?
I spent the most time I ever have over there this winter. I just finished Year 12 (senior year), so I was free to set off to Hawaii for two months. I hung out at Pipe and surfed there a bunch. When the swell got bigger, I would go over to Jaws and try to figure that out.
My second day ever out there was the Aaron Gold swell, which was the biggest swell ever paddled. That was pretty interesting, getting thrown straight into the deep end. Now surfing it when it's any smaller seems much easier. So I guess that day was a good introduction to it.
What's the big-wave scene like in Australia compared to Hawaii?
There aren't a lot of giant traditional paddle waves in Australia, but there's a huge amount of dry rock ledges and slabs. Definitely not as many people chase big waves in Australia compared to Hawaii and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, but we have a really tight-knit crew who is on nearly every swell throughout the country. Most guys have full-time jobs and don't earn a living off surfing, even though they should be. They just chase these waves for the love of it.
Do you have any plans to do the Big Wave World Tour?
Yeah, I'd love to get on the Big-Wave World Tour one day. Pretty hard to get onto, though. I've just got to keep racking up footage and make sure I'm at all the spots when they turn on.
How does it feel growing up being one of the youngest guys out in big-wave lineups?
It felt pretty normal, just because I've always been one of the younger guys in the lineup. But these days, I'll paddle out and there will be kids that are a couple years younger than me! It's happening a lot more now that I'm getting older. It's good to see other kids taking that path, too.
So everyone's getting started young now.
Yeah, back in the day it was, like, people who didn't make the Tour or something would start transitioning to big-wave surfing toward the end of their careers. But now with people growing up surfing big waves, it'll be pretty interesting to see where it goes.
Where do you think big-wave surfing will be by the time you're 30?
I think in the next 10 years or so, people will be riding big waves a lot better. Like during the Aaron Gold swell, the two biggest waves ridden were huge, but the people didn't make the waves. It's insane what they're doing, but I think the big-wave world will be even more performance-oriented. It's already changing. Just look at Dorian — he makes nine out of ten waves, back-dooring the biggest sections ever. Also I think the industry is realizing that you can make more money out of big-wave surfing than in the past. The webcast of the Jaws competition was, like, the highest viewed webcast ever. It's starting to attract mainstream media, because everyone can see how scary and dangerous it is to ride big waves.

June 13, 2012 saw new additions to the AFL Hall of Fame and one previous inductee elevated to Legend status. The new inductees were Hawthorn's Shane Crawford, Bulldog Chris Grant, South Australian icon and Adelaide Crows' inaugural coach Graham Cornes, North Melbourne's Glenn Archer, Melbourne's Bob Johnson, and St Kilda's Robert Harvey. North Melbourne's Barry Cable, an original inductee in 1996, was elevated to Legend status.


Grove City College-anchored teams of young entrepreneurs took the top two spots at Techstars Startup Weekend Pittsburgh.
Startup Weekend is a 54-hour experiential education marathon and competition in which participants go from brainstorming on Friday night to presenting a solid business plans for working startups on Sunday.
The Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation at Grove City College sent 28 students and two alumni to the competition Nov. 9 to 11 at AlphaLab in Pittsburgh. The College was represented on six of the nine teams that competed.
"Our students' continued success at high-profile entrepreneurship events such as Techstars Startup Weekend Pittsburgh speaks to the quality of their ideas and the power that they have to change the world with those ideas. We couldn't be prouder of all of the students who continue to represent Grove City College at events like this around the world," Yvonne English '97, executive director of the Center for E+I, said.
Five Grove City College students – Matthew Moody '22, Zach Hanson '22 Amanda Mayer '22, Garrett Jacobs '20, and Randall LaBrie '21 – and recent graduate Jordan Hörst '18 were on the first place team. Their business idea is Cuts Coach, an app that bridges the communication gap between haircutters and clients. The app gives consumers options that allow them to select the hairstyle they want and provides a detailed description so they can confidently describe what they desire. The app also offers haircare products and creates revenue via ads for the niche market.
The second place team was comprised of eight Grove City College students: Alyssa Ward '21, Daniel Ford '21, Fisher Koons '22, Kenzie Klie '21, Joshua Tricarico '21, Liz Finnegan '21, Lizzy Higgins '21, and Dana Ross '21. They worked on Abandon Outfitters, a clothing company that caters to people with conditions such as ALS, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy or a traumatic brain injury that limits dexterity and makes getting dressed difficult.
Startup Weekend is all about "action, innovation, and education," according to its organizers. Participants had the opportunity to collaborate outside of their regular networks, hear from industry leaders and entrepreneurs, test their ideas and hone their skills.

Military series is ropey and soapy rather than stirring
Written by Annette Kellow
I can't imagine what it's like to be serving with the Armed Forces and risking your life on a regular basis for Queen and country. The trouble with Our Girl (Tuesday, BBC1, 9pm) is I can't imagine any better after watching its attempt at a stirring drama centring on fearless Army medic Lance Corporal Georgie Lane (Michelle Keegan).
In the original series, EastEnders graduate Lacey Turner played raw recruit Molly Dawes with enough grit and conviction to persuade us to overlook the drama's cheesier excesses. That's not the case with Keegan: the switch from Albert Square stalwart to Corrie glampot has added a touch of pizzazz that leaves you wondering exactly who this show's made for.
It's a fine thing to have an inspirational role model proving that a woman can make her way in what used to be exclusively a man's world, but the heavy-handed message sits ill at ease with the dodgy dialogue and ropey, unconvincing action sequences. Plus, the storyline is all too soapy: remember how Georgie dumped her fiancé at the end of the last series? And now we're back racing through the streets of Aleppo on a death-defying mission, but the devastation of the Syrian conflict is simply the backdrop for the opening of another season that seems determined to focus on Georgie's love life.
There is a fine drama to be made about the rapidly changing role of women in the modern military. Our Girl isn't it.

On December 6, 1989, a young man was denied admission to the École Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec, because his entry was late. The women in the school found themselves in the crosshairs of his gun.


My health and fitness journey started in my mid twenties, with more or less a maintenance philosophy. But as I have always naturally "thin," I assumed (wrongly) that I was healthier than I really was and was stunned when my trainer described me as "deconditioned." That was the turning point. I not only wanted to maintain my body but improve it. Now in my thirties my interest in health and fitness has evolved into an enduring passion. After completing my first triathlon, I was looking for new programs to "take me to the next level." That's when my Beachbody involvement began! After extensive hinting around and batting of eyelashes, I was THRILLED to get the 90 day intense fitness program, P90X, for Christmas 2010 from my AMAZING hubby. I'd watched the infomercials for about a year and had always wanted to do it but wasn't sure if a home gym was the right fit for me. I had nothing to worry about! My P90X journey spanned from 1/1/2011 to 3/31/2011. The results were amazing. My energy levels soared, my strength improved and I completely revolutionized my diet. In addition to breaking many mental barriers (such as the belief that I could actually complete an unassisted pull up), the nutritional improvements were profound. My body broke its addiction to sugar completely. I no longer have any cravings for simple sugars at all. I've learned new and better cooking methods, I've converted completely (comes naturally now - effortless) to things such as skim milk, no sugar in my daily tea, no desire for a 3PM cookie break, etc. My involvement with fitness has also had significant and positive impacts on my family and friends. My husband surprised me by joining my on my P90X journey. Our relationship strengthened as we bonded while completing the program together six days a week. My husband is now complete with his third round of P90X and, in his forties, he is in the best shape of his life (in fact he is totally ooh-la-la ripped! As an unassuming guy, I think he's going to be a little surprised at how many heads turn the next time we go to the beach!) We are also setting examples for our children with regards to health and fitness. They see us working out and take note of our commitment to health. In addition to our immediate family, several extended family members and friends have also been motivated to start or restart their health and fitness programs. .

Q: SQL Server BULK IMPORT Truncation error I am trying to import a simple CSV file into a table on SQL Server 2017.  The CSV file and table match each other in number of columns and data types.  This is an extract of the CSV file:
UID,customerID,DateT,TypeID,AssociatedID,AttributeID,LandingPage,jsonT,ClientIPAddress
9150,2345,2020-09-01T00:00:36Z,1,,859,campaign01.html,{'product': 'string01', 'type': '', 'string011'},192.168.200.2
9151,2356,2020-09-01T00:02:30Z,1,,640,campaign02.html,{'product': 'string02', 'type': '', 'string022'},192.168.200.1

This is my table:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[activity](
    [UID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [customerID] [bigint] NOT NULL,
    [DateT] [datetime] NULL,
    [TypeID] [bigint] NULL,
    [AssociatedID] [float] NULL,
    [AttributeID] [bigint] NULL,
    [LandingPage] [varchar](256) NULL,
    [jsonT] [varchar](1024) NULL,
    [ClientIPAddress] [varchar](64) NULL,
)
GO

This is my import statement:
BULK INSERT dbo.activity
FROM 'C:\tmp\activity.csv'
WITH (
    FIRSTROW = 2,
    FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
    ROWTERMINATOR = '0x0a',
    BATCHSIZE = 1000,
    MAXERRORS = 2
)
GO

I keep getting an error saying the last column (the client IP) is to be truncated.  I checked all the values and they have nothing but IPs. Also the error  is not on all rows and I cannot see for my life any difference between one IP format or the other, they are just IPs! I tried simply making the ClientIPAddress field bigger (just for the sake of it) but I just keep getting the same error.
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 2, column 9 (ClientIPAddress).
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 5, column 9 (ClientIPAddress).
Msg 4863, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Bulk load data conversion error (truncation) for row 6, column 9 (ClientIPAddress).
Msg 4865, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot bulk load because the maximum number of errors (2) was exceeded.
Msg 7399, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)" reported an error. The provider did not give any information about the error.
Msg 7330, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot fetch a row from OLE DB provider "BULK" for linked server "(null)".

Any idea on what I could check or what I am doing wrong would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!

A: The import worked for me with your sample data.  But if the real data has commas in that "jsonT" column, it's going to get the data in the wrong columns.  BULK INSERT interprets that comma as part of the CSV format, and then starts putting everything after it in the last column (ClientIPAddress):

If you have control over the creation of the file, you could use a different FIELDTERMINATOR, like pipe (|).  You'll need to pick something that you're sure won't be in the source data, per the docs:

To be usable as a data file for bulk import, a CSV file must comply with the following restrictions:

*

*Data fields never contain the field terminator.

*Either none or all of the values in a data field are enclosed in quotation marks ("").

UID|customerID|DateT|TypeID|AssociatedID|AttributeID|LandingPage|jsonT|ClientIPAddress
9150|2345|2020-09-01T00:00:36Z|1||859|campaign01.html|{'product': 'string01', 'type': '', 'string011'}|192.168.200.2
9151|2356|2020-09-01T00:02:30Z|1||640|campaign02.html|{'product': 'string02', 'type': '', 'string022'}|192.168.200.1

Then your BULK INSERT statement looks like this:
BULK INSERT dbo.activity
FROM 'C:\temp\activity.csv'
WITH (
    FIRSTROW = 2,
    FIELDTERMINATOR = '|',
    ROWTERMINATOR = '0x0a',
    BATCHSIZE = 1000,
    MAXERRORS = 2
);

If you don't have control over the creation of the export file, you'll unfortunately need to:

*

*do some custom pre-processing on it to be able to use it with BULK INSERT

*use a different import technology

Save America's Treasures is a United States federal government initiative to preserve and protect historic buildings, arts, and published works. It is a public-private partnership between the U.S. National Park Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The National Endowment for the Arts, Heritage Preservation, and the National Park Foundation also are allied.
On December 9, 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama said "Save America's Treasures invests in our nation's irreplaceable legacy of buildings, documents, collections and artistic works. These awards empower communities all over the country to rescue and restore this priceless heritage, and ensure that future generations continue to learn from the voices, ideas, events and people represented by these projects." Despite this initial endorsement, both the Save America's Treasures and the Preserve America grant programs were later eliminated by the Obama Administration. On January 30, 2010, President Barack Obama in his "Tough Choices" FY 2011 Budget proposed eliminating the Save America's Treasures and Preserve America grant programs, stating that "both programs lack rigorous performance metrics and evaluation efforts so the benefits are unclear." The National Trust for Historic Preservation eliminated its Save America's Treasures office in 2011 during a reorganization.
From 1999 - 2010, over $318 million were awarded and matched by over $400 million from other sources, resulting in the preservation of over 1200 significant historic structures and repositories of cultural heritage. As of 2012, the program had been responsible for the creation of about 16,000 jobs. This corresponds to a cost of about $13,000 to create each job. According to the American Architectural Foundation, although no new grants have been awarded since 2010, there are 175 ongoing SAT projects.

Background sound/vibration levels – Numerous studies show that noise directly impacts a company's bottom line by decreasing worker productivity. This is not just a problem of factory workers exposed to high machinery sound levels. Workers in the office environment, especially in open plan or "cubicle farm" layouts, have lower productivity and increased stress from constant distraction. Conversational sound is the most significant noise distraction, with other sources such as HVAC system noise, computers, and phones ringing also contributing.
Sound Isolation – Sometimes private conversations need to remain private. Human resource issues and employee performance reviews are just a couple of examples where speech privacy is critical. Even when speech privacy is not critical, it is important to create acoustical isolation between spaces. Conference rooms and private offices need isolation from adjacent spaces to not only prevent others outside these rooms from listening in, but also to keep unwanted extraneous sounds out.

Life Can Not Be The Same After Covid-19
Thenationalpilot Send an email April 26, 2020
By Abdulrahman Ibrahim Alabere
Every occurrence comes with a big lesson, although the devastated effect of such occurrence could be better imagine than describe but only the wise in the society will be fair enough to grasp the lesson therein. A reasonable teacher learns new thing everyday both inside and outside the class, the same thing with a journalist who is on the field to fetch stories for the prospective readers. The ability to adapt to the new thing learnt on a daily basis make such a writer unique among his peers.
It is today a known fact that the medical doctors and other health practitioners in the world are learning in a practical form,-what they were taught in class as a theory. The bitter truth must be told; Coronavirus has come to stay and we must all learn to live with our uninvited guest. The earlier we imbibe this fact, the better for all of us in the world. At present, the dreadful disease is not showing any sign of leaving us anytime soon and it is just waxing stronger as each second passes. Then the best thing to do is to improvise and learn a way to live with the reality on ground, instead of looking for the evacuated body of pharaoh in Nairobi.
It is no longer news that close to three million people have been affected by this strong-headed virus and about two hundred thousands of people have crossed the line of Rubicon.
It has not stopped there as it is moving on daily basis like a wild fire in a sequential manner. Therefore, the fact remains that, we either face the problem head long and be saved like the ark of Noah or continue to play hide and seek game and perish together like pharaoh and his followers. There is just no way our lives can be the same after Covid-19 and if we all agree to this reality, then there is urgent need to adopt a new life style that will help modify our previous way of life and help us contain, to certain extent, the spread of this common enemy. For a country like Nigeria, it is pertinent that we understand the need to access the success and otherwise of lock down because some people believe it is no longer working as expected. I am sure, some people will ask for the heads of those people who made this rather surprise suggestion, but there is a need to look at it from another point of view, for instance, we have not as a country improve on our "test capacity" at the expected rate – imagine, 4,000 test capacity per day for the population that is above two hundred million. This including the continual test for the people who are already the carrier of the virus to ascertain the progress and effectiveness of the "vaccine" administered on them.
This seems absurd but it is the reality. We should also remember that our economy is already in disarray and we urgently need to revamp it to save ourselves from the 'Hunger Virus' that may follow Covid-19 sooner than later. More importantly, some people are already feasting on this pandemic and are praying fervently that this virus remain longer than expected, thereby, keeping people in perpetual abject poverty.
Therefore, government at all level needs to regulate the life -style of the Nigerians to ensure that, it is a complete departure from our way of life before covid-19.For instance, there is need to re-open our primary and secondary schools for certain hours per day. Although, our higher institutions of learning should remain closed for a while to prevent possible inter-state contraction. The students on exchange system should either remain in their respective states or be certified as being free from the virus before returning to their parent schools. Most extra-curricular activities like footballing and other games can be put on hold for a while. The schools should devise a way to stop the inter-personal relationship between and even among the staff and the students.
Also, the market in the cities should be opened for the specified days (Three days in a week).For instance, on the days that the markets would be opened, there should be task force members that directs and explain to people that life cannot be the same like ever. Road-side market should be banned for now and government must ensure strict compliance to this.
There should be regular sensitization on media, especially on Radio to ensure that people are kept abreast of the happening on the virus, most importantly, those vital things that they need to know and how to go about their new life.
Also, important is the involvement of the religious leaders in enlighten the people in their respective domain to ensure that myth is completely remove from the people's minds and their permutation on covid-19. For instance, some people believed that the virus would become history before the start of Ramadan-that is a white elephant lie and pure fallacy. .This is because covid-19 sat comfortably in Saudi Arabia and it has disrupted many religious activities, even including the tarawih (Ramadan Night prayer) and nothing happened as a result of this.
The offices can be re-opened for specified hours and directive should be given on what is expected of each and every staff. For example, they must all wear their face mask with their gloves on and irregular hand-shake should be prohibited within the office environment. There should be punishment for those who flout the government directive. Effort should be made to get our people in the rural areas to know that covid-19 is real and that they should key in to the new system.
There is a need to compensate our health workers who are in the front line of the problem. An expert narrated how difficult it is to put on PPEs (Personal Protective Equipments) for our doctors for more than one hour. They risk their lives and that of their family to keep us save and therefore must be adequately and properly compensated motivated accordingly.
We must equally understand that our security personnel are doing a great job at this critical moment and must also be rewarded in a way, to serve as motivation for them.

Just because a problem seems impossible does not mean that it is impossible. Never admit defeat after a cursory glance. Begin optimistically; assume that the problem can be solved. Only after several failed attempts should try to prove impossibility. If you cannot do so, then do not admit defeat. Go back to the problem later.
There was a king in India who had a large kingdom and five sons. In his last will, the king said that after his death the sons should divide the kingdom among themselves in such a way that the region belonging to each son should have a borderline (not just a point) in common with the remaining four regions. How should the kingdom be divided?
The hint is in the title of this blog post. The solution is easy, hence I won't discuss it here. The reader is invited to write the solution as a comment to this post.
# irreducible monic polynomials with coefficients in and of degree , for a prime power .
# monic irreducible polynomialswith coefficients in and of degree = , by taking .
One of the simplest recursive formula that I can think of is the one which generates the Fibonacci sequence, with . So, I will illustrate a following general concept about recursions using Fibonacci sequence.
A sequence generated by a recursive formula is periodic modulo k, for any positive integer k greater than 1.
I find this fact very interesting because it means that a sequence which is strictly increasing when made bounded using the modulo operation (since it will allow only limited numbers as the output of recursion relation), will lead to a periodic cycle.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025.
As you can see, the sequence repeats as soon as 1,0 appears. And from here actually one can see why there should be a periodicity.
For the sequence to repeat, what we need is a repetition of two consecutive values (i.e. the number of terms involved in the recursive formula) in the sequence of successive pairs. And for mod k, the choices are limited, namely k^2. Now, all we have to ensure is that "1,0" should repeat. But since consecutive pairs can' repeat (as per recursive formula) the repetition of "1,0" must occur within the first k^2.
It's an open problem in number theory to find a non-linear, non-constant polynomial which can take prime values infinitely many times. There are some conjectures about the conditions to be satisfied by such polynomials but very little progress has been made in this direction. This is a place where Ulam's spiral raises some hope. In Ulam spiral, the prime numbers tend to create longish chain formations along the diagonals. And the numbers on some diagonals represent the values of some quadratic polynomial with integer coefficients.
Surprisingly, this pattern continues for large numbers. A point to be noted is that this pattern is a feature of spirals not necessarily begin with 1. For examples, the values of the polynomial form a diagonal pattern on a spiral beginning with 41.

Educational trips include tours of the Alaska frontier. (Photo: Alaska range image by MAXFX from Fotolia.com )
Educational Tours of Turkey
Educational Tours in Africa
Educational tours abroad may introduce you to new cultures and natural wonders, but they are equally interesting in the United States. On these guided trips, you get an insider's view of everything from the Alaskan frontier to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York and Civil War battlegrounds in the South. Experienced guides not only help you navigate new destinations, but they also offer a new look at your own back yard.
Smithsonian Journeys features a wide array of educational trips to meet many interests. Music lovers enjoy opera tours to New York and Santa Fe, where they attend productions and go backstage for a close-up look at sets and props. Adventurers like the trip to Alaska's coastal wilderness, and history buffs appreciate the Civil War tour that explores the Vicksburg Campaign vital to the Union's success. That's just the beginning of the list: There are also trips to the Great Lakes, Glacier National Park and the coast of Maine, plus a 20-day voyage that starts in New England and ends in Panama.

Exploritas
Most Exploritas trips are designed for ages 50 and up, but you'll also find family tours that cater to kids, parents and grandparents. (Exploritas is the new name for programs offered by Elderhostel, a famous provider of lifelong learning.) Adult trips range from a musical journey through the decades in West Virginia to a look at the life and legacy of Abraham Lincoln in Illinois. Other outings, which take place in all 50 states, focus on everything from birding in Connecticut to cycling in California's wine country. Family tours include The Daniel Boone Experience in Kentucky, River Rafting the Grand Canyon, and Pioneer Week in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Explorica
Explorica sounds a little like Exploritas, but it's a company that focuses on the other end of the age spectrum. Most of its business is conducting educational tours for students and teachers, although it also offers adult trips if you have at least 10 participants. Its outings in the United States include a frontier adventure to Alaska, a tour around the city of Atlanta, a trip to Colonial Philadelphia and a study of Chicago's skyscrapers. Several trips offer different views of New York City--for instance, one focuses on the arts, one concentrates on neighborhoods, and another visits major landmarks, such as Trump Tower and Grand Central Station.

Government Department faculty and advanced graduate students in the Government Department are available to advise undergraduate theses. Below is a list of advanced graduate students who have expressed interest in advising theses in the upcoming academic year. We also encourage you to reach out to Gov faculty who share your research interests.
Once you have found a thesis adviser, please make sure to submit a signed thesis advising contract to the Government Department Undergraduate Office.
My dissertation examines the intersections of participatory democracy, social movements and political parties in Latin America. My broader research examines political participation outside of the ballot box (protests, civil society participation, participation in mass political organizations, etc.), Latin American public opinion, inclusionary social policies in Latin America, education policy in Latin America, and the Latin American Left. I have extensive experience with diverse qualitative research techniques (interviews, participant observation, archival research) as well as quantitative research methods (survey design, survey experiments/natural experiments and text analysis).
I study comparative politics, with emphasis on incumbent authoritarian survival and state violence. More specifically, my research concerns the difficulties faced by authoritarian incumbents in devising strategies to dominate, suppress and coerce their numerically superior publics. I'd be very happy to advise qualitative theses related to authoritarianism, state capacity, armed movements, and bloody politics in general. I would also be open to advising theses regarding constitutional order and subnational authoritarianism.
My dissertation is about Social Norms and Underdevelopment. It involves field experiments in the Democratic Republic of Congo and, potentially, Argentina. Substantively, I'm happy to advise students doing work about Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America on the topics of social norms, state capacity and taxation. Methodologically, I'm happy to advice students doing quantitative work, including field experiments. I have +3 months of fieldwork experience in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Research interests: The politics of immigration, interstate cooperation on migration control; bureaucratic politics; American politics; international relations. A bureaucratic and international relations approach to the study of contemporary U.S. immigration enforcement. The conditions under which countries cooperate on issues of border security and migration control. U.S.-Mexico relations on issues of migration.
I study the relationship between organized crime and the state. My research focuses on urban crime, violence, and corruption in Latin America, and how they affect development. I would be happy to advise students that study organized crime or policing anywhere in the world. My other substantive interests include challenges to the rule of law and democracy, and I would be happy to advise students on these topics as well. I speak Spanish and Portuguese fluently.
I study political behavior and American politics. My research explores how where people live affects their social and political attitudes and behavior, especially as it relates to the urban-rural divide, intergroup conflict, and political polarization across space. I welcome the chance to advise theses in political psychology, political geography, intergroup relations, race/ethnic politics, and urban politics.
I study political theory, and have a background in public policy, law and economics. My current work focuses on modern and early modern political debates, including on sovereignty, jurisdiction and church-state relations, and philosophical debates about the nature of human freedom. I would be glad to advise a thesis in political theory on topics stemming from the early modern/ modern period.
My research focuses on various forms of political violence, including my current project on criminal organizations in Latin America. I am very well-acquainted with the civil war literature, and I have also studied separatist organizations, terrorist groups, and state-building by non-state actors. I have designed and conducted surveys and semi-structured interviews in both Spanish and Portuguese. I am happy to advise students on any of these, or related, topics.
My research examines the political economy of education in the developing world, with a focus on Latin America. Specifically, my dissertation seeks to explain sub-national variation in student learning in Mexico. I would be able to advise students working on questions of education in any part of the developing world. I have previously conducted fieldwork in Brazil, Peru and Mexico (where I lived for 5 years prior to attending graduate school) and I would also be able to advise students studying those, or any other Latin American country. My dissertation research utilizes both quantitative and qualitative methods and I would be happy to advise students hoping to utilize either in their thesis.
My research interests include state and local politics, bureaucracy, inequality, and the politics of education (all U.S.-focused). I worked at Pew Research Center before graduate school and could advise on theses related to public opinion, analyzing survey data, or developing surveys. I'd also be happy to advise on theses in any of these areas or in others in American politics and policy, especially those using quantitative methods.
My research focuses on European elections and parliamentary politics. I am especially interested in contemporary British politics. I would feel comfortable advising theses in the following areas: European electoral politics & party politics; legislative politics in parliamentary systems; and topics in international political economy relating to the Eurozone and European Union.
I study political theory and intellectual history. My current work examines the emergence of liberal ideas of government, democracy and democratic processes, and Church–state relations in early modern Europe. I am happy to advise theses on most topics in political theory, in particular those involving religion and politics, early modern and modern political theory, American political thought, democratic political theory and ethics, and ancient/medieval political thought.
My research investigates the politics of policymaking in modern China and the United States. I am currently focused on issues of power, bureaucracy, and the politics of science, and have research interests that span the subfields of comparative politics, political theory, and American politics. I have research experience in social policy and higher education outside of academia in both China and the United States, and would be happy to advise theses about Chinese politics, state-society relations, or anything that looks at China and the United States in comparative context.
I'm a PhD candidate in the Department of Government and a recent graduate of HLS. I have experience with a wide range of theory- and law-related topics, and I would be happy to advise theses on any of the following topics: contemporary democratic theory, constitutional or statutory interpretation, individual rights (especially speech and religion), administrative law and the American bureaucracy, law and social movements, education law, and campaign finance and election law. My current research uses tools from political theory, public law, and political science to study legislative representation, but I'm open to advising on a wide range of topics. I edited the Harvard Law Review in 2015-16, so I have a lot of experience helping move research projects from idea to draft to completion. And I've loved working with undergraduates, as a resident tutor, teacher of a Gov junior tutorial, and thesis advisor over the past few years. Hope to hear from you!
I am a 4th year PhD student and a recent graduate of HLS. Generally speaking, I study the intersection between law and political theory. My dissertation tries to determine whether there are any normative reasons why we should listen to bureaucracy in a democratic government. I have interests in contemporary democratic theory, questions of political and democratic legitimacy, political ethics, interest group lobbying, constitutional law and other areas of public law, corporate governance, as well as moral philosophy. I would be happy to advise a thesis in any of these areas, broadly construed.
My research deals with economic, social and racial inequality in the US and Europe. I have additional interests in the effect of public opinion on political rhetoric and policies, female representation in politics, criminal justice and the carceral system as well as the persistent effect of culture and customs on preferences and political behavior. I would be happy to advise students along all stages of the writing process, including formulating a research question, finding data and choosing a suitable method of analysis.
I study the history of political theory with an eye to how that history bears on contemporary questions of justice. My research focuses in particular on the consequences of the decline in the belief in progress. I am happy to advise thesis writers in early modern or modern political thought, literature and politics, religion and politics, and politics of cultural memory.
I study cities and urban political economy in the developing world, as well as public good provision. My regional knowledge is mostly on Latin America and I speak Spanish and Portuguese, but I'm open to advising other projects on urban issues in the developing world, as well as broader projects on the political economy of development. My dissertation is about provision and underprovision of basic public goods like water, roads, trash collection, and electricity in megacities. I use both quantitative and qualitative methods in my work.
Dissertation Summary: I am interested in social policy and policy failure, especially when these failures exacerbate inequality, at the state and local level. In particular, I ask under what conditions do public officials acknowledge data suggesting a policy is not meeting its stated objectives and what explains public officials' response to this mismatch. My dissertation is a mixed methods project that uses comparative case studies. In addition to this project, I study the effects of contemporary organizational structure and constituency outreach of the far right in the United States. Prior to graduate school, I spent 5 years as a public school teacher and administrator; therefore I am also deeply familiar with education policy and politics.
Research interests: State and local politics, organizations and institutions, inequality, social policy, education policy, policy feedback, mixed methods, policy feedback, archival research, qualitative research.
I study international political economy with a focus on international trade and how domestic electoral institutions influence government compensation decisions as a response to globalization. My research interests also include currency politics, financial / banking crises and the politics of fiscal adjustment. Prior to graduate school I have a professional background in finance.
I work on elections, representation, and public opinion in American Politics. I can advise senior theses related to these topics, and more generally other topics focused on data collection and quantitative data analysis (R, Stata, data visualization, experiments, survey methodology, econometrics, machine learning, and data science analytics).
I study the role of religion in American politics, focusing on the historical and contemporary impact of politics on religious elites' theological commitments. I am especially interested in how religious leaders have interacted with the politics of birth control over time. I welcome the chance to advise both quantitative and qualitative senior theses on an array of topics related to religion and politics, political behavior, and historical topics in the American context. I also have a professional background in state and local politics and would be happy to advise theses on local government or urban politics.
I am a joint PhD student in Government and Social Policy. My dissertation research focuses on comparative childcare and work-family politics and policy, particularly in North America and Europe. I would be happy to advise on projects related to gender and policy, the welfare state, public opinion / survey data research, building original datasets, experimental methods, and qualitative interviews.
Hello! My name is Manuel and I study Latin American politics. The topics I am interested in include political parties, criminal violence, democracy and authoritarianism, state-building, bureaucratic politics, and political institutions in general. I am interested in the entire region, but I do know Mexico and Central America the best. My advising philosophy is that everyone can—and should—write a thesis that is both well-written and personally meaningful. I was born and raised in El Salvador and wrote my own thesis here at Harvard as a Gov concentrator.
My research focuses on ideology and electoral politics in advanced democracies, particularly Canada, the United States, and Western Europe. I'd be happy to advise theses on broadly related topics including voter behaviour, party positioning and strategy, electoral systems, the meaning and evolution of left and right, how elections matter for policy-making, and the role of ideas in politics. I also have specific substantive expertise on regionalist parties in Europe and Canada, drug policy in the United States, and the history and evolution of the left in Western democracies.
My dissertation draws on norm evolution and political psychology to understand how technological advancement impacts traditional international relations theories. My other research focuses on political communication of elites and messaging on social media platforms. I could advise a thesis on public opinion, international relations, security, or political psychology. Methodologically, I have experience in time series, survey research, and text-as-data.
My research explores issues at the intersection normative democratic theory and American politics. I'm happy to advise thesis writers in either area. My areas of expertise include the history of American political thought, constitutionalism, contemporary democratic theory, and political ethics.
My research focuses on the causes and effects of securitization. Under what conditions are immigration and trade framed and treated as security issues? I also have a strong background in the literature on human rights, domestic politics of international norms, and international law. My interests lie at the intersection of international relations and comparative politics. I am happy to advise students on any of these, or related, topics.
I study a range of topics, including the psychology of intergroup relations, social media and political discourse, and conspiracy theories, with a focus on the Middle East (especially Israel/Palestine) and to a lesser extent Southeast Asia (especially Malaysia/Indonesia). For my dissertation, I look at how people communicate ingroup criticism in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Specifically, how do the arguments critics use make others more or less receptive to the criticism? I would be happy to advise theses that relate to any of these substantive or regional interests.
I am writing about the politics of machine learning for my dissertation. I can advise on all areas relating to the politics, political theory and ethics of technology. These include technological change over time, the effects of and on institutions, the relationship between technology and democracy, and the theme of technology as it arises in the history of political thought.
My research focuses on international relations, mainly international political economy, with a focus on contemporary and historical Chinese foreign economic policies. My dissertation project explores the emergence of trade doctrines in non-democratic regimes, introducing new evidence from late imperial China. I also work on Chinese foreign policy more generally, including China's economic, diplomatic and military relationships with other countries. I am happy to advise theses related to these topics, as well as theses generally related to international political economy and international security.
My research focuses on populism and why populist politicians win elections. I also have a strong background in the literature on democratization and democratic breakdown, political parties, and Latin American politics. In addition, having been a Gov concentrator, I am very familiar with the process of writing a senior thesis at Harvard.
My research focuses on voter behavior and political accountability in local-level politics in developing countries. I feel comfortable with the literature on these issues as well as that of political economy of development, elections, political participation and mobilization, and local politics. For my dissertation, I fielded my own original survey that included a survey experiment, and employ text analysis, statistical analysis of quantitative data sets, and qualitative interviews. Geographically, my dissertation focuses on Latin America, though I would be happy to advise students focusing on African politics, as prior to graduate school I worked in international development in Rwanda, Zambia, Mali and Senegal.
Michael studies American politics. His dissertation research focuses on the politics of policing, especially elected Sheriffs and the influence of police unions. He would be excited to advise theses on policing, public health topics including opioids and overdose, inequality, and local politics in the United States.

Nail on the Wall Collective are one of our Sponsor Partners for this year's Big Draw Festival #DrawnToLife. For their events they have partnered with B人BEL, a Shanghai-based organisation that promotes inclusion through media, arts and education. We were lucky to steal a few moments with Rose and Maria, the founders of B人BEL, to hear all about their organisation, the art scene in Shanghai and their exciting Big Draw Festival plans!
For those of our readers who may not be familiar, could you tell us a bit about BABEL, and your work there?
Maria & Rose: B人BEL is an organization based in Shanghai that promotes inclusion through media, arts and education. We organize arts festivals that explore the meaning and the importance of social inclusion, we design and deliver arts programs that empower and connect communities, and we publish media that tells stories of people through prose, poetry, interviews, photography and illustration.
One of the main components of our work here at The Big Draw is promoting the influence of 'visual literacy'. We believe that it is crucial to a multitude of industries and disciplines, not just within the visual arts sector. Can you share with us your views on the benefits of a visual eye in one's everyday life?
Maria & Rose: We live in a world in which our eyes are the main source of information and navigation – sight is the main form of perception for the majority of people – in which we are constantly visually stimulated and entertained. Yet we rarely use visuals in our communication. Written and spoken languages have their importance, but languages are also permeated with social and cultural divides, and limited by often traditional notions of politeness, right or wrong, etc. We believe that visual literacy can not only trigger faster communication and expression, but it can also liberate us from communication constraints. It can allow people from different backgrounds, cultures, and stages in life to communicate and connect. It can help people to share and understand ideas and facilitate cooperation.
We'd love to hear a bit about the art scene in Shanghai! I understand it's a rapidly growing industry?
Rose: With over 25 million inhabitants, there are countless different lifestyles, ideas, and communities in Shanghai. A lot of young people feel the urge to do something different; to not follow the road often taken, to start something for themselves, and the vibrant city of Shanghai is the perfect place for that. There is an increasing interest in non-traditional forms of art and self-expression, and because of the open-minded and entrepreneurial atmosphere in the city, many feel inspired to start creating arts and art platforms.
We believe that drawing can be life changing; it's an amazing tool for communication, creativity and expression. On top of this, we believe that everybody can draw! What do you think is the significance of drawing in everyday life? Do you think there is such a thing as a "bad" drawing?
Maria: I think that drawing is exclusively placed at an artistic end, which enlarges the disconnection between people and drawing. Most people are not writing novels, and yet we rarely hear someone saying, "I don't like to use words because my words are not so beautiful". I believe drawing can enhance communication and expression, and it doesn't need to have an artistic end. If a drawing fulfills the drawer's purpose in drawing, whether it is an artistic purpose, or clarifying an idea and expressing a thought or experience, then it cannot be bad.
What role does drawing play in your day-to-day life?
Rose: I love illustration, drawings, and animations. Every now and then I attempt to sketch some more complex scenes or drawings, especially of people. On a more daily basis, though, I feel that I often express ideas through drawing. These drawings aren't very complicated or beautiful, but they are visual representations of an idea I have in my mind. Especially when trying to explain more complex ideas to someone, I tend to start by drawing instead of using words. My mind portrays ideas visually, not verbally, and my notebook full of small drawings is a representation of that.
Maria: Often I need to "unfocus" my mind, and let it wander freely, in order to clear my mind and my work structure. One of the methods I use is to grab a pen or pencil and draw senseless lines and figures, or to look around and imagine these senseless lines and figures being drawn.
What should people expect from your Big Draw events, and why should they get involved?
Maria & Rose: In Shanghai's Big Draw we will celebrate the multiple benefits and uses of drawing, but we also emphasize the power it has to connect and strengthen communities.
We will have a friendly art competition between schools, which will connect students from different schools and areas, and we will include art forms which involve children and communities in debate – for instance, we will invite students from migrant schools and disability centers to be part of the events in order to generate understanding between different groups.
For this 2019 edition of the event, we will be collaborating with Nail On The Wall, an artistic collective and agency founded by Tomás Pinheiro and Jian Huang. They have been developing engaging work, not just in Shanghai, but also in other Chinese cities; acting as a platform for emerging artists and creating awareness to their work through multimedia content and events such as art exhibitions, inspirational and educational talks, and live painting shows.
Each year The Big Draw Festival carries a theme for our co-creators to explore. This year's theme is 'Drawn to Life: Creativity and Wellbeing', celebrating the incredible health benefits and healing powers of a more creative life. What role will 'Drawn to Life' play in your events at BABEL this year? Furthermore, does this theme play an important role in your life and work outside of the Festival?
Maria & Rose: Creativity plays a very important role in our daily work. In our education programs we always stimulate students to try various forms of arts, because not everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves in words, and often self-expression comes in different forms. In our arts events we have active audience participation, because we believe art is not just to be passively perceived; the point of art is to interact, to play, and to create. In almost every event we did we had arts materials available for people to freely paint, draw, write, or create something, and the results of the interaction of different people creating together are often surprisingly beautiful and inspiring! And, of course, as we are the creators of events and media, we use different forms of art (writing, photography, video, and sometimes illustration) ourselves as well.
What about The Big Draw Festival inspired you to take part? Is there any advice or guidance you would give to someone considering organising their own event?
Maria & Rose: We want to be part of The Big Draw because we believe that creativity and self-expression is important for everyone. Through drawing, people can express themselves and feel more confident in their creation, but they can also connect to each other by creating together and by getting to understand each other in a different way. Bringing together people and creating together is in the core of BABEL, and we believe The Big Draw to be a good opportunity for this.
Thank you Maria & Rose, and the teams at both BABEL and Nail on the Wall Collective!
Nail on the Wall Collective (in collaboration with BABEL) is one of our Big Draw Festival 2019 Sponsor Partners.

 * Bind view through annotation.
 * This library only notice the annotation above the fields/methods, no matter what the
 * fields/methods' access modifiers are, such as, private or public, etc,.
 * Here're the examples:
 *
 * In Application module:
 *  1. SetContentView / LayoutInflater.inflate
 *
 *      {@literal @}RootView(resId = R.layout.{resourceId})
 *      class MainActivity extends Activity {}
 *
 *  2. FindViewById
 *
 *      {@literal @}FindView(resId = R.id.{resourceId})
 *      TextView titleView;
 *
 *  3. OnClickListener
 *      There're two cases allowed:
 *
 *      {@literal @}OnClick(resId = R.id.{resourceId})
 *      void onTextClicked() {}
 *
 *
 *      {@literal @}OnClick(resId = R.id.{resourceId})
 *      void onTextClicked(View view) {}
 *
 *  4. OnItemClickListener
 *      There're three cases allowed:
 *
 *      {@literal @}OnItemClick(resId = R.id.{resourceId})
 *      void onListItemClicked(int position) {}
 *
 *
 *      {@literal @}OnItemClick(resId = R.id.{resourceId})

 *
 *
 *      {@literal @}OnItemClick(resId = R.id.{resourceId})
 *      void onListItemClicked(View view, int position, long id) {}
 *
 *
 * In Android library:
 * Due to the un-const resource id generated in R.java, use resName instead. Below is the example:
 *
 *      {@literal @}RootView(resName = "{resourceId}")
 *      class MainActivity extends Activity {}
