Watch the Game of Thrones Cast Lose It Over Baby-Faced Kit Harington in This Reunion Special Clip
By Amanda Bell | @amandajunebell | Jun 26, 2019 2:36 PM EDT
Game of Thrones' eighth and final season may have been largely unsatisfying for fans of the HBO epic, but the upcoming Game of Thrones: Complete Collection Blu-Ray set aims to make up for all the lost time of that abbreviated episode count by offering us 15 hours of new behind-the-scenes footage from the show.
A preview clip from the special features for the collection shows late-night host Conan O'Brien reuniting some of the original stars of Game of Thrones, including Sean Bean, Kit Harington, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, and Isaac Hempstead Wright, as they journey back to the very beginning, when they first stepped foot into Westeros.
Watching them watch their younger selves embarking on this small screen journey is quite a treat, especially during the bit when we get to see how Harington reacts to seeing his beardless, Edward Cullen bouffant-sporting self from the set of what very well may be the long lost original pilot for the series, based on the clean shave and the way he squeals, "f--- off" at the vintage footage.
Discover your new favorite show: Watch This Now!
This nostalgia-panging clip is just a taste of what's ahead in the bonus content for the collection, of course, and the discs will also include all 73 episodes of the regular series.
The Game of Thrones: Complete Collection is currently available for pre-order on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, and will be released on Tuesday, Dec. 3. Game of Thrones is currently available for streaming on HBO Go and HBO Now.

About the Center for Political Studies
The Center for Political Studies (CPS) is recognized around the world as a leading center for the quantitative study of politics. Scholars at the Center investigate the interactions among institutions, political processes, and individuals - themes united by a concern for understanding a wide array of political outcomes. The Center has a commitment to quality and transparency in research and the development and dissemination of public goods for the benefit of science, policy, and society.
CPS is very interdisciplinary, with scholars with appointments in the fields of communications, complex systems, history, natural resources, political science, psychology, public policy, social work, and statistics. CPS is also very international, with experts in geographic areas such as Africa, China, Europe, India, the Middle East, Russia and Eurasia, and Southeast Asia, in addition to the United States. It includes comparative scholars who examine the similarities and differences between countries the world over. The Center's scholars make use of a variety of research tools – advanced computing, datasets, experiments, formal modeling, spatial analysis (Geographic Information Systems/GIS), statistical modeling, and surveys, among others.
CPS provides a collaborative, supportive environment for its associated faculty, students, staff, visiting scholars, and projects. The Center organizes workshops, seminars series, and lectures on a regular basis. Experienced, professional staff members provide an array of services in the areas of administration, communication, research development and implementation, and technology.
Over its three-decade history, the Center has expanded its research focus. The Center's origins were in individual voting behavior, including the development of the American National Election Studies (ANES). Later it turned to institutions and their effects on policies and individual behavior. Today, CPS is diverse in its intellectual agendas and methodologies - building links between comparative, world, and American politics, and building bridges between the study of individual behavior and political and economic institutions. The Center's mission has further extended to helping develop local capacity for social science research in other institutions and countries, training in quantitative analysis and survey research methods, and interdisciplinary collaboration with other fields on common issues and scientific problems.

One Week Until the 2023 ECP Symposium at Barnstapl...
One Week Until the 2023 ECP Symposium at Barnstaple Eventing: Meet the Speakers
By Kaleigh Collett - USEA Staff
USEA photo
The United States Eventing Associations' (USEA) newly revamped Eventing Coaches Program (ECP), formerly known as the Instructors' Certification Program (ICP), will be hosting its first symposium since the program's rebrand next week. The annual ECP Symposium will be hosted at Barnstaple Eventing in Morriston, FL on January 17-19, 2023. The ECP Symposium is a three-day immersive educational experience for anyone who is interested in learning more about eventing coaching. Click here to register for the symposium through January 12. Missed the online registration window? No worries! You can register on-site the day of the event!

A star-studded list of guest speakers will be presenting at this year's ECP Symposium, the first of which is licensed clinical and sports psychologist, Dr. Paul Haefner. By combining his lifelong love for horses with his knowledge of human psychology, Dr. Haefner strives to help people transform themselves and their relationship with their horses through personal and professional development, sports psychology consultation, and a broad range of other therapeutic services to adults, adolescents and children. During the ECP Symposium, Dr. Haefner will provide coaches with a valuable lesson on dealing with strong emotions and emotional behavior when teaching. Dr. Haefner will provide insightful instruction on dealing with emotional display and crises, as well as strategies for teaching and promoting emotional regulation in the saddle. Plus, Dr. Haefner will be offering one-on-one consultations throughout the symposium at no charge. Don't miss your chance to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity!

The next speaker is Olympian and USEF Chief of Sport, David O'Connor. O'Connor will be discussing two topics: the USEA's Emerging Athletes 21 program (EA21) and a new project he is working on with the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee and the United States Center for Coaching Excellence to improve education opportunities for equestrian coaches in the U.S. O'Connor has spent most of his career in high-performance eventing and has a great deal of experience both as an athlete and a coach. Through this experience, O'Connor has acknowledged the fact that talented equestrians are typically "discovered" and funneled into the development pipeline much later in life than other sports that begin talent scouting at a very young age. Because of this, many athletes spend much of their adolescent and young adult years in their own programs, not necessarily having access to national certified instructors. Programs like the ECP and EA21 are positive and necessary steps to broaden the reach of quality coaching throughout the country. O'Connor will discuss the pipeline for the new project and the success of the first year of the EA21 program, as well as tips and tricks for achieving your goals, including short and long-term goal setting, knowledge of teaching styles, recognizing emotional states in students and coaches, and group or team dynamics.
Leslie Law. USEA/Meagan DeLisle photo
British Olympian Leslie Law will also be presenting at the ECP Symposium regarding his role with the USEF's Eventing 25 Emerging Athlete Program as the Eventing Emerging and Development Athlete Coach. Law has a wealth of experienced working with high-performance athletes in the team development pipeline and will lean on these experiences to help educate those in attendance.

Finally, Peter Gray, an FEI Level 3 Eventing Judge and USEF "R" Eventing Judge, will take a closer look at the dressage phase and discuss what judges are really looking for by reviewing the progression through the USEA dressage tests.

Still life painting, depicting everyday objects, flourished in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century. Small still lifes were often painted on recycled copper printing plates.
This type of composition would have been described as a 'little breakfast', a selection of simple foods, such as bread and cheese, and plain tableware like the pewter plate and rush-covered carafe depicted here. The small white objects on the table are ragged comfits, a sugar-coated confectionery of nuts, seeds or strips of cinnamon.

MLK Speaker Warns of 'a Crisis of Lovelessness'
Educator Robert S. Harvey asks, 'How will you bend the moral arc of this universe?'
Educator Robert S. Harvey delivers the Martin Luther King celebration keynote speech on Wednesday. (Photo by Eli Burakian '00)
Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration: Uniting for Equity
The video of the keynote address is available at the Dartmouth MLK Celebration site.
Educator, author, and community organizer Robert S. Harvey began his impassioned keynote speech Wednesday evening for this year's celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., "A Year of Connection, Uniting for Equity", with a question musically posed by Tina Turner.
"Against the backdrop of 12 months of a global pandemic wrestling with the social, racial, political, and epidemiological reckoning that has brought all of us face to face with masked truths about the compounding complexities of inhumanity, inequality, injustice, and incompetence, what's love got to do with it?" Harvey asked.
Love is indeed the embodied and enfleshed ethic of justice.
Robert S. Harvey, educator, author, and community organizer
"After years of navigating the persecuting complexities of what it means to be human and Black in this country, love has everything to do with it," he answered. "Because love is more than a secondhand emotion. Love is indeed the embodied and enfleshed ethic of justice."
Harvey is the superintendent of East Harlem Scholars Academies, a community-based network of public charter schools in New York City, and chief academic officer of the East Harlem Tutorial Program. He is also a visiting professor in the Practice of Public Leadership at Memphis Theological Seminary, and the author of Abolitionist Leadership in Schools: Undoing Systemic Injustice through Communally Conscious Education. His second book, Teaching as Protest: Emancipating Classrooms through Racial Consciousness will be published this year.
Fusing the rhetorical power of a preacher with the intellectual rigor of a scholar, Harvey drew on such diverse sources as the music of John Coltrane, the writings of King, and the poetry of Ovid as he urged more than 250 viewers of the live-streamed event, as well as a small, socially distanced audience at the Hanover Inn, to embody, not just espouse, a kind of love for all of humanity that's both "risky and costly."
At this pivotal moment, Harvey warned, the world is gripped by "a crisis of lovelessness."
More than "a failure of respectability and a failure of politeness, more than a failure to be kind to me, and to see me, it's much more about who we take ourselves to be in this nation," he said.
Harvey challenged members of the Dartmouth community to "bend the arc of their moral universe" by creating conditions "where we talk love, hear love, and do love in ways that don't just educate the most promising students and prepare them for a lifetime of learning, but work with those promising students at the margins of society, walking alongside these students subjugated by supremacy, and working with those students, embodying and enfleshing a costly and urgent love—one that can only be achieved by righteous, radical and revolutionary recreation of liberation."
Kailah Hester '24, president of the Afro-American Society, issued a similarly heartfelt challenge in brief remarks preceding Harvey's address. "Be curious about the experience of others and learn how you can be an ally in the struggle," Hester said.
Concluding the question-and-answer session following Harvey's address, Shontay Delalue, Dartmouth's senior vice president and senior diversity officer, asked him to define the opposite of a "crisis of lovelessness."
"I would say the antidote to the crisis of lovelessness is the canvas of expansiveness," he said. "Being willing to ever re-imagine how we create the conditions for every human to be seen, for every human to be held, and for every human to wake up and to create the conditions of hope, they need to be well in this space."

Stan Wawrinka's tennis racquet is marketed as a Yonex VCORE Pro 97 330, but is actually an older Yonex VCORE 95D racquet.
A lot of recreational players wonder about Stan Wawrinka's tennis racquet. What racquet does he use to get that pace and spin on his shots? Stan Wawrinka is advertised to use the latest Yonex VCORE racquet, currently the Yonex VCORE Pro 97 330 , but actually uses the Yonex VCORE 95D with a lot of lead tape .
So now the racquet companies are forced to write "endorse" instead of use. This is the case with a lot of pro player racquets. Many professional tennis players use pro stock racquets, which can be racquets with custom molds, based on older versions. Stan Wawrinka's racquet is smaller and with the lead tape it's also heavier than the Yonex VCORE Pro 330 .
Should you play with Stan Wawrinka's tennis racquet?
I doubt that you will play better tennis with Stan Wawrinka's tennis racquet. Most pro player racquets are heavier and more difficult to handle than recreational tennis racquets. If you look at the specs Wawrinka play with it is definitely only for advanced players. But the Yonex VCORE 95D racquet without customization is a great racquet and I wrote about it in my racquet honeymoon period post here.
The Yonex VCORE Pro 97 330 racquet along with its cousin, the 310 gram version are also very good racquets for the advanced player. I would definitely recommend the lighter spec for a wider group of styles and abilities. And you can also always add some weight to it by a leather grip and/or lead tape .
Being a Yonex sponsored player, Stan Wawrinka uses Yonex tennis apparel and the excellent over grip Yonex Super Grap . Yonex are usually adamant that their sponsored players use all Yonex gear, but guys like Nick Kyrgios have apparel and shoes by Nike etc.
If you really want to have the exact same specs on your racquet as Stan Wawrinka, then you should get a Yonex VCORE 95D and customize it to the beastly specs below. It's going to require some good technique and footwork to swing that racquet however!
What do you think of Stan Wawrinka's tennis racquet? Does it surprise you that he plays with something different than he endorses?
That stiff poly high string tension and racquet weight combination requires some serious upper body and arm/ wrist strength. Thank goodness his frame is relatively flexible and I am surprised the swing weight is not higher than 360 for such a heavy frame, but I'm guessing it's because he does not have lead in the upper hoop.
Do the balance and swingweight happen to be strung or unstrung? Thanks! I am guessing strung, since you are specifying the strung weight, but I just want to verify.

"Vigilant & Valkyrie in a 'Thrash to Windward'"
New York: Currier & Ives, 1893. Colour-printed lithograph. Sheet size: 21 1/2 x 28 1/2 inches.
Provenance: Estate of Cynthia Phipps, Long Island, New York.
A great 'America's Cup' image from Currier & Ives
This image recalls the eighth defence of the America's Cup in 1893. The `Vigilant' won all three races and narrowly missed being picked to defend America's win in the next series in 1895. The 'America's Cup' was first offered as the `Hundred Guinea Cup' in 1851 by the Royal Yacht Squadron for a race around the Isle of Wight. It was won by the 30-metre schooner `America' from New York City and subsequently renamed. One of the oldest international sailing yacht competitions, it is now a perpetual international challenge cup which America has only lost twice (1983 to Australia, 2000 to New Zealand). England has never won it.

Bassist, composer, and improviser Anton Hatwich has lived in Chicago since 2003. He was born and raised in Rockford, IL, growing up in a musical family. Anton moved to Iowa City, IA in 1995 and lived there until 2002, earning a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Iowa. After graduation Hatwich taught for two years as Visiting Artist in Music at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, IA. At the UI he studied bass with Dr. Diana Gannett, jazz and improvisation with John Rapson, and also gained valuable experience playing with the school's renown Center for New Music, under the direction of David Gompper. Outside of class, Anton was active in the local music scene. Of particular lasting importance was his work with clarinettist, saxophonist, and composer Robert Paredes, with whom Anton took first steps in the world of free improvisation.
In late 2002 Hatwich started spending large amounts of time amongst Chicago's improvised music community, hanging out all night with his new friends at concerts and bars, and crashing on his brother's couch. One thing led to another, and by spring of 2003 he was playing so much in Chicago that it made sense to move there. Since that time he has played in endlessly varied groups of (mostly) improvising musicians, with some combinations sticking around longer than others. A partial list of his collaborators includes Frank Rosaly, Keefe Jackson, Aram Shelton, Nick Mazzarella, Russ Johnson, Tim Daisy, Jason Stein, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Josh Berman, and Paul Giallorenzo. With the bands that lasted, Anton has recorded a number of critically acclaimed albums and toured nationally and internationally. He has appeared at a handful of the major jazz festivals, including the Chicago Jazz Festival, the Monterey Jazz Festival, the Ring Ring Festival in Belgrade, the Umbrella Festival, and the Ulrichsberger Kaleidophon Festival in Austria.
In addition to his performance work, Anton maintains a small private teaching studio.


The large state of Texas may be an excellent state for nurses looking to advance their education, due to the number of large cities and health care demands in the state. A Master's in Nursing degree may expand your options in the fields of nurse leadership, nurse education, and advanced patient care. To find the MSN programs in Texas that you are interested in, have a look at the school offerings, and request program details to learn more about individual routes of study.
Since many Master's-level nursing programs are designed for working nurses, you may need to complete a certain amount of work experience before entering the program of your choice. Typically, programs with this requirement want to see at least one year of full-time nursing experience. Several Texas schools allow you to complete your MSN on a part-time basis, permitting you to continue working as a nurse while attending school.
You can consider a wide variety of specialties while trying to choose the MSN program that is ideal for you. Options in Texas include family nurse practitioner, mental health nurse practitioner, public health nursing, nursing education, and nursing administration.
Typically, each program starts with courses like Advanced Health Assessment, Applications in Health Care Research, and Pathophysiology. After these courses, a nursing education program may delve into more theoretical courses on how to teach nursing courses. Nursing administration programs tend to bring the fields of nursing and management together, while advanced care degrees may require several hundred clinical hours.
Depending on which type of Master's degree in nursing you decide to pursue, you may be able to apply for several different scholarships. The Good Samaritan Foundation, based in Texas, awards nursing scholarships to almost 300 students each year. If you plan on going into maternal nursing or nurse midwifery, consider applying for a scholarship through the March of Dimes.
If you're considering a career in nursing education, now may be a good time to pursue that goal. Texas is a large state offering many career opportunities for nurses with master's degrees. With a MSN degree, you could work in the great state of Texas as an informatics nurse specialist or a nurse midwife.
Nursing schools are adding new locations in Texas to meet the growing demand for registered nurses. This is confirmed by the Texas Workforce Commission, a group that notes that registered nurses have the fifth-highest demand in the entire state. This shortage is only expected to grow as the years go on. The Community Impact Newspaper reports that the growing aging population in Texas is expected to create a greater demand for registered nurses in coming years. As a result, local colleges are hiring nurse educators to help increase the amount of graduates.
Currently, nurse practitioners and other advanced practice nurses in Texas must function under a limited scope of practice. Kaiser Health Newsclaims that nurse practitioners in the state are fighting for independent practice rights. The Texas Action Coalition and other advocacy groups support advanced practice nurses in these efforts. Legislative changes in Texas may allow nurse practitioners to help solve the primary care shortage in many parts of Texas.
With the steep incline in computer charting and computerized medical records, the need for informatics nurse specialists is on the rise. These specialists design, test, and implement new or modified informatics solutions and data systems within the healthcare setting. As an informatics nurse specialist you could potentially earn around $81,700 annually, according to the 2014 median income for this career (O*net, 2015). The job outlook for an informatics nurse specialist is better than average, with an expected 32 percent growth rate in Texas between 2012 and 2022 (O*net, 2015).
A master's prepared nurse midwife works closely with women of childbearing age to achieve healthy full-term pregnancies. They see women for pre-natal appointments and even deliver their babies in a variety of different settings. As a nurse midwife in Texas, according to the annual 2014 median income, you could potentially make around $102,600 per year (O*net, 2015). In addition, between 2012 and 2022, there is expected to be an increased demand for master's prepared nurse midwives with a 30 percent increase in annual job openings for this career (O*net, 2015).
If you would like to learn more about earning your MSN degree and working in either of these careers, contact the schools listed below for details.

A man was walking along a California beach and stumbled across an old lamp. He picked it up and rubbed it and out popped a genie.
The genie said "OK, OK. You released me from the lamp... blah, blah, blah... This is the fourth time this month and I'm getting a little sick of these wishes so you can forget about three. You only get one wish!"
The man sat and thought about it for a while and said, "I've always wanted to go to Hawaii but I'm scared to fly and I get very seasick. Could you build me a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over there to visit?"
The genie laughed and said, "That's impossible! Think of the logistics of that. How would the supports ever reach the bottom of the Pacific?
Think of how much concrete... how much steel!! No. Think of another wish."
The man said OK and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said, "I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women...know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment... to know why they're crying, to know what they really want when they say 'nothing' ... to know how to make them truly happy."
The genie said, "You want that bridge two lanes or four?"

Are Blind Pilots Flying?
One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated waiting for the pilot to show up so they can get under way.
The pilot and copilot finally appear in the rear of the plane and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind; the pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle. The copilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with sunglasses.
At first, the passengers do not react thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. After a few minutes though, the engines start revving, and the airplane begins moving down the runway.
The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness. They start whispering among themselves and look desperately to the stewardesses for reassurance.
Yet, the plane starts accelerating rapidly, and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical.
When the plane has less than twenty feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once. At the very last moment, the plane lifts off and is airborne.
Up in the cockpit, the copilot breathes a sigh of relief and tells the pilot: "You know, one of these days the passengers aren't going to scream, and we aren't going to know when to take off!"
Doctor: What's wrong with y...

Q: Background audio player There are a lot of audio/music players that are either WP plugins or work with WP, but I don't see that they do exactly what I'm looking for. I want to be able to play an audio file automatically when the site loads, as a sort of background music, with the only control a "turn this off" button - no play/pause, no track info etc. (I'm vehemently against this sort of online Muzak, but my client is insistent.)
Is there a good way to do this?

A: For a permanent/persistent audio player I can think of these options:

*

*a completely Ajaxified theme, so the content is dynamicaly loaded

*put the audio player in a frame and the navigation/content in another one (yes, frames, that thing of the past)

*open the audio player in a pop-up

*make WordPress the CMS but pull the content in a Flash site (visitors see Flash, Google see WP)

Otherwise, it's a completely unfriendly player: at each navigation link clicked the thing restarts playing...

[edit]
This is the simplest plugin I know and it's easy to style:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/haiku-minimalist-audio-player/
You can find simple and free flash players here:
http://ffiles.com
For feeding a Flash player with WP content, open a new question and drop me a line, as I have written many versions of this kind of interaction.

A possible path forward to limit spread of COVID-19 in forested areas of Central India
~ by Amrita Neelakantan (NCCI Coordinator)
A timely study by NCCI founder Prof. Ruth DeFries and collaborators lays out possible scenarios for minimizing risk of exposure to COVID-19 in rural India as the lockdown is relaxed and migrants return to their villages.
Seasonal migration is a widespread livelihood option for households in forest-fringe areas of Central India, moving people from villages to the country's cities for up to 6 months in a year. Typically, these migrants are young males and they return to the village in time to plant monsoon crops. Seasonal migrants are generally poorer and less educated than those that migrate permanently (for work or education) [1]. In the current pandemic of COVID-19, the risks of exposing rural India with returning migrants from cities is of major concern for both rural communities and government authorities, as well as for migrants who are desperate to return with no source of income during India's lockdown.
Moreover, communities on the periphery of forest areas in the country are some of the most vulnerable and poorest. Central India, one of the main forested areas in the country, is important for tiger conservation and has a high proportion of Scheduled Tribe populations. In these villages of Central India, the poorest households use seasonal migration to supplement their incomes [2], increasing the risks of exposure to COVID-19 as migrants return. These villages are even more at risk as they have poor or non-existent health facilities and low quality diets in typically crowded households [3]. Additionally, most households continue to use fuelwood with high indoor air pollution already causing respiratory problems [4]. While the populations are not as dense as in cities, the spread from village to village and lack of medical facilities is a grave concern.
As of this writing, the country has been in lockdown since March 24th. Seasonal migrants are unable to access work or means to return home. News channels have documented migrants returning home on foot. Quarantine facilities have been set-up in villages but the quality and efficacy of these are unknown. The government restricted inter-state travel for migrants after April 20th. As restrictions ease, chances persist of exposure and spread to adjacent villages from migrants who have already returned.
Given the economic hardships of lockdown, the authors of this study provide some alternatives to severe physical distancing. The objective is to reduce chances of exposure while allowing people to obtain essential supplies, plant crops, and carry out other necessities of daily life. A post-COVID-19 path could be informed by their results.
The study uses data from a 2018 study that surveyed approximately 5000 households in 500 forest-fringe villages in Central India. The original study was to assess patterns of migration over the previous five years (2013 – 2018) and was unrelated to tracking disease spread.
The researchers found that seasonal migration is widely dispersed across forest-fringe villages of Central India. Eighteen percent of surveyed households sent migrant workers to cities in the last five years. Seventy-five percent of villages had a least one household with migrants, and all districts had a least one village with migrants. Similarly, migrants traveled to 124 locations over the last five years. Over eight percent of migrants went to cities were COVID-19 cases were reported at the beginning of the lockdown, based on the publicly-available COVID-19 tracker site (www.covid19india.org).
The researchers used a simple, epidemiological model of disease spread to examine different scenarios of movement between and within villages (Figure 2). Using varying R0 values (the basic reproduction number that represents the expected number of cases generated by an infected individual), the researchers allowed for scenarios with lenient (no restriction R0=3), moderate (some restriction to interactions R0=2) and maximal (highest restriction R0=1) movement within and between villages. The findings highlight how different strategies for easing lockdown restrictions might vary in terms of the number of people exposed in the unlikely but possible event of the virus reaching a village.
The most effective way to limit exposure is obviously to keep everyone within and across villages in lockdown. But as most Indians are now familiar with, keeping an indefinite lockdown is not feasible with many states already easing some restrictions to save India from economic hardship. The more important question then becomes, how one would begin opening up the lockdown or easing restrictions to balance the economic needs with necessary caution to avoid exposure to the virus.
This study reports, for a hypothetical case of exposure in one village, that maximal limitations to movement between villages with lenient movement within villages (middle scenario in Figure 2) exposes fewer people than moderate restrictions that apply to both within and across villages (bottom scenario).
Incidentally, the scenario that led to the least number of exposed people in the model is similar to New Zealand's successful "social bubble" and communities' efforts in India to restrict entry to villages.
5 capitals framework and food security around Kanha National Park
~ by Kalyanee Paranjape
Given the tumultuous history of conservation and establishment of national parks, it is important to note that protected areas continue to provide various benefits to the local population. These benefits are not just limited to providing ecosystem services but also have shown to alleviate poverty. Various scholars have discussed these benefits by analyzing the various types of capital but few have evaluated them in a single system.
A recent paper titled, "Contributions of financial, social and natural capital to food security around Kanha National Park in central India", sheds more light of this. The researchers have utilized the five capitals model of sustainable development – including financial capital, social capital, natural capital, human capital, to clarify associations between certain livelihood factors and food access in the Kanha National Park (KNP) landscape. This framework has allowed the researchers to explore locally contextual links between livelihood characteristics and well-being while also providing a way to compare across time and geography. The authors have focused on food security as a multidimensional aspect of well-being.
The study took place in central India (yellow inset) surrounding Kanha National Park (dark grey polygon), surveyed households are demarcated by black dots.
The paper revolves around three aspects, the status of food security around KNP, how it varies across seasons and geography; and the contribution of the three capitals including finance, social and natural to household level food security. The team used semi structure interviews to extensively survey around 800 household across three seasons (summer, monsoon and winter) to capture seasonal changes of food security and livelihoods.
Millets: An Option for Food Security and Environmental Resilience
~ by Amrita Neelakantan (coordinator NCCI)
To grow food sustainably means moving beyond the calorie-focus of the green revolution. Before we all ate rice and wheat as staples, there were other cereals in our diets and in our agriculture. The calorific gains from the green revolution while undeniable are proving to be too single-minded with a few persisting challenges like undernourishment, micronutrient deficiencies and groundwater depletion. To consider what sustainable crop production might mean for a country like India, this paper by Kyle Davis and co-authors built multiple scenarios of monsoon cereals.
The reason to focus on monsoon cereals is because the maximum production of the cereals that could be used to make the switch occurs alongside rice in monsoon and the fact that cereals make-up a large percentage of the typical Indian diet. The authors included cereals already in focus by the current nutrition policies and therefore they excluded maize. Each scenario built, keeps in mind the current calorie production and current extent of cropland.
They explain scenarios where crop-switching would provide improved nutrition security, environmental benefits, and climate resilience gains. The study provides a robust case for assessing trade-off analyses among nutrient supply, climate resilience, and environmental outcomes to create more sustainable food systems.
The main optimized scenarios that the authors build are: Maximum supply of protein or iron; maximum savings in water, energy and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions); and finally maximum climate resilience. The authors define climate resilience as the least loss in production during a historically extreme dry year.
In the below scenario – the goal in mind is to have maximum water savings and help identify the places that might achieve the largest benefits. Highly sought after, such analyses can begin to help policy makers and managers on-the-ground focus on how best to manage water in the future by balancing demands by urban centers and agriculture within the state or district.
Why is malaria still prevalent in the tribal heartland?
Prachi Thatte
PhD Candidate, National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS)
Malaria is a major public-health issue in India. The World Health Organization estimates that India accounts for 75% of all the malaria cases in South East Asia. Although a life threatening disease, malaria can be prevented and cured. The National Framework for Malaria Elimination, launched in 2016, aims to make India a malaria-free nation by 2030. However, there are many challenges for malaria elimination in India due to diverse and complex socio-environmental conditions across the country. While
Gadchiroli district is situated in the south eastern corner of the state of Maharashtra. Forests cover more than 75% of the geographical area of this district.
mortality and infection have declined in many parts of India over the last decade, tribal regions of India continue to have high prevalence and mortality. About 80% of malaria reported in the country is restricted to tribal areas which are home to just 20% of India's population. Understanding and addressing the reasons for this regional disparity would be critical to ensure successful elimination of malaria in India.
Radhika Sundararajan and colleagues sought to identify the reasons that might impede the success of malaria control programs in tribal areas in their 2013 study titled 'Barriers to Malaria Control among Marginalized Tribal Communities: A Qualitative Study'. The study was carried out in the tribal-dominated Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra, India. Forests cover more than 75% of the geographical area of this district and tribal communities make up nearly 40% of the population. Government health-care infrastructure in the district comprises of 1 district hospital, 12 rural hospitals, 45 primary health centres (PHCs) and 375 primary health units. The National Vector Borne Disease Control Program (NVBDCP) is implemented in the district through doctors stationed at PHCs and Community Health Workers (CHWs) who travel to villages to provide preventive care, testing and treatment. Despite having such extensive health-care infrastructure in place, why were malaria control programs less successful in the district?


There are many sound reasons to oppose the ObamaTrade bill that the president is seeking to ram through Congress, aided and abetted by Republicans who are in hock to Big Business.
But a little discussed reason to flatly oppose this bill is that it will become a major tool to export sexual deviancy to the world. In other words, it's as much about Big Gay as it is Big Pharma.
President Obama has appointed no less than seven openly homosexual and intersexed – whatever that is – ambassadors to push his agenda around the world.
They are salivating over the prospect of Republicans giving the president another weapon to use in promoting and advancing the worldwide normalization of the infamous crime against nature.
In a letter posted on the White House website and dated June 9 (which you can read here), these gay ambassadors are unambiguous about their intentions to ram homosexuality down the throats of every nation which becomes a member of the Trans Pacific Partnership.
In other words, this bill is not just about fast tracking trade. It's about fast tracking sin.
Bottom line: if you support sexual deviancy, you'll love ObamaTrade. If you oppose sexual deviancy, you will call your congressman immediately and urge him in the strongest possible term to stop this morally dangerous bill dead in its tracks.

Make connections between the text that is underlying by themselves or any other texts all over the world.
Think about what they usually have discovered and just how they or will newly use the got information.
composing subjectively from their viewpoint and identify areas for further reading.
In this guide, we explore in level how exactly to write a great essay that is reflective including the thing that makes a structure that is good.
Reflective essays are often required by instructors to permit pupils express their experience about a particular lecture. These essays have become personal and subjective, nonetheless they must maintain a tone that is formal must certanly be well arranged. If for instance you may be writing you can about yourself brainstorm by making a chart with three columns. These experiences should be past experiences, description and reflection.
Personal essays that are reflective papers that generally speaking reflect your experience and impacts. They eventually assist the reader associated with paper to become familiar with you. Unlike past essays that you have written before, this types of essay will not depend on facts. Alternatively these are typically more centered on you. The one thing that separates a good as well as an average essay is organization. The most sensible thing would be to begin by building an outline.
The format of a reflective essay differs greatly from compared to a standard essay. A reflective essay is a far more structured tale. You will be needed to set up your essay making use of either the APA MLA that is OR structure. An average reflection essay length will change from 300 and 700 terms. It is necessary to adhere to the educational form of writing described by you instructor. This essay is much more about you and really should consequently stay away from an excessive amount of casual language.
Essay should really be divided in to four components: Title web Page, Abstract, Main Body, and sources.
To begin arranging your reflective essay, simply take an appearance during the dining table you made earlier one. The previous experience and description portions should constitute not as much as 10% of one's essay. Limit events that are listing let them know less than possible. Instead you need to show events in your reflection.
Grab your reader's attention in a quick preview of exactly what you may be going to write.
Example: We found Tom's human body covered from head to toe in mud, emaciated and scarcely speaking, under an abandoned storage.
It will include experience that is past and a quick declaration of what your essay will likely be about.
Example: That winter volunteering experience at Red Cross inspired us to pursue this sort of work with the long run.
The structure of human anatomy paragraphs is the best discussed in chronological occasions. Here, answer the questions that are bold the expression part through the table. This should create a linear storyline.
You should wrap up your ideas and demonstrate development. Emotions newly discovered, discoveries, and a lot of notably, plans for the future are important factor associated with the summary.
An experience you can not forget.
The absolute most difficult choice you had to make.
A period your values were pressed to your restriction.
The moment that is happiest or even the many frightening minute you will ever have up to now.
Exactly what can people do in order to increase the quality of health?
Name time you felt as if you are lost.
Have you been constantly making the right choice? Are you able to think about time you have made an incorrect option?
A second that you know you'd like to forget.
You might think it is far more convenient to generate a table that keeps an eye on your a few ideas. You need to separate your chart into 3 parts.
In the column that is first compose key experiences or the details. You are able to grade them from most to least essential.
Into the second column, list your private a reaction to the points you have got just stated in the column that is first.
Into the column that is third write just how much of one's response to generally share when you look at the essay.
an essay that is reflective a really individual sort of writing because it includes your emotions and opinions about one thing. Before you add almost anything to your paper, start thinking about thinking about if the information presented is acceptable to include or maybe not. Should you believe somehow uncomfortable about something individual, avoid including it in your essay.
The expression implies that the student has learned from their experiences. Representation basically reveals understanding of individual goals.
The pupil is able to weave info regarding artifacts that are specific the way they are advantageous. The pupil's experience paints details which can be unique.
Demonstrates a capacity to reflect on one's very own work as well as an number that is adequate of examples are given.
The essay has no grammatical and errors that are spelling is a well-organized paper.


I'm re-listening to the Salmon of Doubt for the first time in almost five years, and while the whole thing is brilliant this quote has really stuck with me. In class, I've been struggling to convince students that form matters – that asking for polished paragraphs isn't an arbitrary rule we've concocted to stymie their writing style – and that the form that a piece of writing ultimately takes should be as thoughtfully considered as the title, the citations or the content (one hopes).
This is a long way of saying that all of this has forced me to think about what to do with this space, and of late I've been tending more and more to use it to think out teaching dilemmas, with moments of archival joy or frustration thrown in when the mood strikes. For the next few months at least, I'm going to think of this as primarily a teaching blog, focusing on one junior historian's quest to become a better teacher, and as a bit of a commonplace book for teaching-related things I come across.

Disc golfers have fun despite poor weather
Matt Schuman
Even a little rain and wind couldn't dampen the spirits of Jeff Tori. It also couldn't ruin his golf game.
That's not the golf played with clubs. It's the kind played with discs. Tori hosted the first Cattail Classic disc golf tournament Saturday and Sunday at the Epple Park course. Disc golf is played with Frisbee-shaped objects that players must throw into a basket. It is scored like regular golf with each hole having a par.
Tori, who not only played, but served as the tournament director, won the men's amateur division with a 6-under-par, two-day total of 115 on the par-121 course. He beat University of Northern Colorado student Marcus Harris by 10 strokes after leading him by only one stroke after the first day.
Tori and the 15 others players in the men's division had to battle the rain and wind Saturday morning that kept scores higher than normal.It even changed how the experienced Tori had to play the course."You had to watch your footing unfortunately, and it was a little windy. So you had to be a little more cautious," Tori said.Tori is also afraid the weather might have hurt the turnout for the tournament, which also had a women's and a juniors' division, but only three women participated and two juniors.
"I think a lot of people would have signed up Saturday, but the weather was bad," Tori said. "We didn't get any extras coming on. Nobody came outside."
The weather didn't bother Greeley's Eileen Smith, who won the women's division with a 189 total, four strokes better than Greeley's Celeste Tori, Jeff's wife.
"Myself and the other ladies didn't shoot until the afternoon, so by that time it had stopped raining," Smith said. "It was still overcast, but it was actually perfect playing weather because I would rather play in a little cool weather than really hot weather."Besides, Smith was just thrilled to win the first of what Tori wants to be an annual tournament.
"I have participated in tournaments that Jeff had organized before, but there were no prizes and awards or anything like that," said Smith, whose husband Dirk also played in the tournament. "So this is the first one where I have actually won something. It was exciting. It was kind of a surprise."
Winning the juniors division was Tori's nephew, 12-year-old Michael McCue. He didn't have to worry about the weather because both children who signed up didn't have to play until Sunday.
Even so, McCue says the course wasn't easy.
"Most of it was kind of difficult," McCue said.
McCue loves to play disc golf. He is out on the course every time he has a chance.
"It is cool," McCue said. "It's kind of fun."
No matter what the weather is.
– TENNIS . Greeley West senior Sara Wiggett spent her summer playing for the Ranch Country Club U.S. Tennis Association team in Westminster that won districts and finished first in USTA Team Tennis State Finals Aug. 10-12. The team then advanced to the USTA Team Tennis Intermountain Championships, Aug. 24-26, at the Colorado Athletic Club against teams from Idaho, Montana, Utah and Nevada. The team took third, losing to Utah, all in tiebreakers.
"It was a lot of fun," Wiggett said. "It was fun playing the best and meeting different challenges."
The team of Wiggett, Kirsta Odegard of Northglenn High School and Amber Luke of Centaurus High School all played No. 1 singles last season for their respective schools.
– TRACK AND FIELD . It has been quite a summer for Greeley senior Ian Percy. The Scotland native finished second in the National Weight Pentathlon for seniors held recently in Syracuse, N.Y., and was named the top weight pentathlete in the 21st Rocky Mountain Masters Games Track and Field Championships held Sept. 1-2 at Potts Field in Boulder.
Competing in the 55-59 age group, Percy won three gold medals and three silver at the Rocky Mountain Masters, winning the weight pentathlon (4,363 points), hammer throw (145 feet, 71/2 inches) and javelin (138-10) and finishing second in the shot put (40-101/2), discus (126-9) and weight throw (52-7_).
Greeley's Vern Spencer and Frank Bowles also competed in the Rocky Mountain Masters. In the 65-69 age group, Spencer won four gold medals and one silver, setting a new Rocky Mountain Masters record in the hammer throw with a toss of 126-31/2. Spencer beat one of the oldest records on the books, set in the second-ever Rocky Mountain Masters games. He also won the weight pentathlon (3,668), 20-pound weight throw (50-4) and 56 pound throw (18-21/2). He also finished second in the discus (126-10).
Bowles finished first in seven events in the 80-84 age group. He took gold in the javelin (89-1), shot put (31_), discus (85-101/2), hammer (62-111/4), 16-pound weight throw (34-5 _), 35-pound weight throw (14 2) and the weight pentathlon (3,574).
– YOUTH SOCCER . A Greeley Bootlegger Under 14-boys team took first place and two other girls teams finished second at the Steamboat Springs Tristar 3-on-3 Soccer Tournament held Sept. 2-3 in Steamboat Springs.
The Greeley Sidekicks, the boys under-14 team consisting of Ben Schaffer, Ben Martinez, Heath Cronquist and Evan Droegemueller, finished the tournament with a perfect 5-0 record to take first. The team was coached by Mike Schaffer.
The Under-10 girls team called the Greeley Hot Shots and coached by Josh Floryance, finished second with a 2-3 record. The Hawks, a girls under-11 team coached by Bill Sinnwell, also took second with a 2-2-1 record.
– VOLLEYBALL . Greeley's Terri McNair is making a bid to join the Association of Volleyball Professionals pro beach volleyball tour and her hopes got a boost Labor Day weekend when she and her partner Aimee Sorensen of Denver finished second in the prestigious Motherlode Volleyball Tournament Sept. 1-3 in Aspen.
The tournament was composed of 24 teams with most of the teams currently on or have been on the AVP tour in the past.In fact, five of the eight teams that McNair and Sorensen face have played or are currently on the tour.
The points that McNair and Sorensen earned by finishing second in the tournament will go a long way in helping them qualify for the AVP tour. They have been working hard this summer trying to accomplish that goal.
The next step for the two players is an AVP qualifying tournament in March or April in which they will need to finish in the top four to qualify.
McNair is a former University of Northern Colorado standout and coach at Valley High School.
– BOWLING . Gary Newman bowled the first 300 game of the season at Highland Park Lanes in the Tuesday Men's League Sept. 4.


I have had the biggest crush on destroyed denim lately, and this obsession has finally migrated over to the dark side. Literally. I have been on a hunt for the perfect pair of black destroyed jeans. I ordered these from American Eagle, and I'm in love. American Eagle is one of two places where I can order my size in pants, and I know they will fit me, even without trying them on. Express is the same way. I love that because it's otherwise pretty hard to find bottoms that fit me right.
I decided to kill two birds with one stone today and not only take these skinnies out for their maiden voyage, but also whip out this plaid jacket. I bought this at the tail end of last season. You can see when I wore it on the blog here. Now that it's cool enough to wear jackets again, I've been antsy to dust this one off. I decided to do some triple print mixing, following suit with Atlantic-Pacific's outfit here. I pulled the similar pieces out of my closet, but obviously just switched to black bottoms instead, and I was ridiculously happy with the result.
I wore this on Saturday - if you followed along with my Instagram takeover, you got a sneak peek at this outfit here. The husband and I had a couple of errands to run and then we ate a super late lunch/early dinner at this restaurant called Annie Gunn's. My boss loves this place - so much so that we have being getting him and his wife a gift card to there every year for Christmas. Since it's been 8 years now, I figured it was time to try it myself, and let's just say, I can see why they love it. Everything was amazingly delicious. Good outfit, good food!
The plaid and stripes combination is so perfect!
I've been on the hunt for destroyed black denim and these are superb, I also want your shoes so badly.
These are the same shoes Cha Cha has (that I made her buy, hehe.) I love them!
And I love these pants, too! Just what I had been hunting for!
This is when I am super thankful I can wear anything I want to work! It would be a huge game changer if I truly had a business casual job! It makes me sad thinking of it!!!
Loving the plaid, I need to get my plaid on as well. Time to get the ole winter clothes box down and put away the summer ones. (Sigh & tear) Looking great girl, as always!
Thanks, girl! And I know!! We're supposed to get snow this weekend! i can't even comprehend that right now!!!
Oh, hi. Running behind on this today! That plaid jacket is just too cute. This whole outfit turned out fabulous. And I want some black distressed jeans in a major way- you're lucky to have two stores with dependable sizing! Express is my one and only and I think I need a backup.
I am quite surprised Express doesn't have any! Like really surprised! Altho now that I have my pair, I'm sure they will come out with theirs!
This jacket has a hint of shoulder pads so I was feeling self conscious in it. But you really can't tell in the photographs. I like it!
I love all these pattern mixes! Stripes, plaid and cheetah all look so great together! I've been looking for a great pair of black jeans and these ones are perfect!
Yes, definitely worth checking them out! I think I may need the other washes!
I too have been searching high and low for black destroyed denim. I decided to try a DIY on an old pair, but not too happy with the result. So much for trying to save money! Great look on you.
Thanks! I hope you find your perfect pair!
This is fabulous! When I try multiple pattern mixing, it just looks silly. And love the distressed jeans. Loft is the place where the sizing is always the same for me in their jeans.
Aww - I bet you don't at all!
Loft is hit or miss for me with their bottoms. I need to try them again, it's been awhile!
I love everything about this outfit!! Something about this combo just so chic!
These prints are perfect together, I must try it.
I love this outfit, and I also love AE, their fit is always perfect and is good to know Express is the same way, I have never bought any of their jeans/pants but I need to look into it since I need some pants.
Yes, definitely try them out! Good luck - let me know how it goes!
Love this look! The plaid, stripes and leopard are the perfect mix!
I thought so too! Glad you agree!! Thank you!!

Q: Jacobian rules with canonical transformations
If we consider a canonical transformation from $(q,p)$ to $(Q,P)$, it is stated in several sources that by Jacobian rules,
  $$ \frac{\partial(Q,P)}{\partial(q,p)} = \frac{\partial(Q,P)/\partial(q,P)}{\partial(q,p)/\partial(q,P)}. \tag{1}
$$

By taking books such as Riley's Mathematical Methods for physics and engineering, I could confirm that this is indeed true (section 6.4.4). However, I have tried this myself and it seems that I am missing something. For instance the left hand side of the above equation expands in:
$$ \frac{\partial(Q,P)}{\partial(q,p)}=\begin{vmatrix}
 \frac{\partial Q}{\partial q} & \frac{\partial Q}{\partial p}\\
 \frac{\partial P}{\partial q} & \frac{\partial P}{\partial p}\\
\end{vmatrix} =
\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\frac{\partial P}{\partial p} - \frac{\partial Q}{\partial p}\frac{\partial P}{\partial q}
$$
Now, the numerator of the right hand side is
$$ \frac{\partial(Q,P)}{\partial(q,P)}=\begin{vmatrix}
 \frac{\partial Q}{\partial q} & \frac{\partial Q}{\partial P}\\
 \frac{\partial P}{\partial q} & \frac{\partial P}{\partial P}\\
\end{vmatrix} =
\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\frac{\partial P}{\partial P} - \frac{\partial Q}{\partial P}\frac{\partial P}{\partial q}=\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}
$$
Then, the denominator is
$$ \frac{\partial(q,p)}{\partial(q,P)}=\begin{vmatrix}
 \frac{\partial q}{\partial q} & \frac{\partial q}{\partial P}\\
 \frac{\partial p}{\partial q} & \frac{\partial p}{\partial P}\\
\end{vmatrix} =
\frac{\partial q}{\partial q}\frac{\partial p}{\partial P} - \frac{\partial q}{\partial P}\frac{\partial p}{\partial q}=\frac{\partial p}{\partial P}
$$
yielding the right hand side of the first equation above:
$$
\frac{\partial(Q,P)/\partial(q,P)}{\partial(q,p)/\partial(q,P)} = \frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\frac{\partial P}{\partial p}
$$
which corresponds to the first term of the second equation above. This means that the second term of the second equation above has to be zero. However, I fail to see why this is true. Assuming that $Q=Q(p,q)$ and $P=P(p,q)$, that term should have a value. What am I missing?

A: OP's eq. (1) is true for any invertible coordinate transformation -- they don't need to be canonical coordinates. The trick is to keep track of what is kept constant during the partial differentations. In 2D eq. (1) reads:
$$\begin{align} {\rm LHS}
~=~&\left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\right)_p \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial p}\right)_q - \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial q}\right)_p \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial p}\right)_q\cr
~=~& \left[\left(\frac{\partial q}{\partial q}\right)_p \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\right)_P + \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial q}\right)_p \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial P}\right)_q\right] \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial p}\right)_q \cr
&- \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial q}\right)_p \left[\left(\frac{\partial q}{\partial p}\right)_q \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\right)_P +\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial p}\right)_q \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial P}\right)_q \right]\cr
~=~& \left[\left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\right)_P + \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial q}\right)_p \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial P}\right)_q\right] \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial p}\right)_q
- \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial q}\right)_p \left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial p}\right)_q \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial P}\right)_q \cr
~=~& \left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\right)_P\left(\frac{\partial P}{\partial p}\right)_q
~=~\left(\frac{\partial Q}{\partial q}\right)_P / \left(\frac{\partial p}{\partial P}\right)_q
~=~{\rm RHS},\end{align}$$
where we used the multi-variable chain rule twice.

A: The expression $\frac{\partial(Q,P)/\partial(q,P)}{\partial(q,p)/\partial(q,P)}$ is ratio of Jacobians.
Evaluate each expression independently by eliminating the repeated variables - then divide them.
In your case, $\frac{\partial(Q,P)/\partial(q,P)}{\partial(q,p)/\partial(q,P)}=\frac{\partial Q/\partial q}{\partial p/\partial P}=J$.
The transformation is canonical since $\partial Q/\partial q=1$ and $\partial p/\partial P=1$ which implies $J=1$ where $J$ is the Jacobian.
