The tyrant of the Andes August 20th, 2017 by Jeff Bentley
Near my home in Cochabamba, Bolivia, there is a park named after the most famous Viceroy of the Andes, Francisco de Toledo. A statue of the stern Viceroy frowns at passers-by, suggesting that Toledo was a tough administrator, but a recent history by Jeremy Mumford confirmed just how bad Toledo was for Andean farmers.
Francisco de Toledo was born in 1515 and was raised in the royal households of Spain. In 1565 King Phillip II appointed Toledo to be the Viceroy of Lima, to rule in the king's name over a vast area that is now roughly the modern states of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Toledo's instructions were to reform taxes, improve government and introduce the Spanish Inquisition to South America.
Before leaving Spain for his new post, Toledo read through reams of letters and reports from officials and travelers archived by the Spanish crown in Seville. He concluded that the main problems of the Andes were "drunkenness and idolatry." Drunkenness was simply drinking low-alcohol, homemade maize beer (chicha); idolatry was observing rituals, including the prayers and offerings that farmers made at planting and harvest time.
Other Spanish writers had complained about indigenous drinking and the survival of pre-Hispanic spirituality. Toledo's innovation was to decide that the best way to exterminate these humble pleasures was not with an inquisition (individual court cases), but with a "reducción general," a general resettlement.
Prior to Toledo's arrival, the Spanish had resettled indigenous peoples in the Caribbean, Mexico and Guatemala, but not in the Andes. Resettlement was a harsh and elegant idea. All native peoples were forced to settle into planned towns of about 2000 people, laid out with straight streets around a plaza with a church where the residents could receive Christian instruction. It was easier for colonial authorities to keep an eye on people if they were gathered into a town.
Toledo arrived in Lima in November, 1569, and left just 11 months later with a large entourage of officials for a five-year tour that would pass through Cusco, Potosí, Chuquisaca, and Arequipa, in what is now the southern Andes of Peru, and highland Bolivia.
Although the crown was losing enthusiasm for native resettlement, Toledo pressed ahead, forcing Andean farmers to move from scattered villages to live in towns which were often a day's walk or more from their fields. This made it hard to do the agricultural work that was the basis of the tribute that native people paid the Spanish.
Demanding a tribute was an old idea. Before the Spanish conquest, the Incas had also taxed the local people, in goods and in forced labor, but the Incas had enough local knowledge to leave farm communities with enough food to survive. The Spanish lacked this intuition and tried to maintain tribute at high, fixed levels, even as the native population declined. The results were disastrous.
About 1.4 million Andean people were assigned houses in town and ordered to destroy their old homes. Toledo's laws for resettlement show how he created new layers of bureaucracy to oversee resettlement. But few reports have survived on what actually happened on the ground.
It seems that many Andeans continued to live near their farms, with or without permission. Farmers might report to the town center just once a year for major festivals. Other native people resisted resettlement through the courts, appealing and often being granted the right to form satellite settlements nearer their fields.
In spite of resistance, resettlement meant that many small villages were indeed consolidated into fewer large towns. Famines and epidemics ensued, in part because the crowded towns spread disease and because after paying tribute, people starved on the meagre amounts of food left. As the population declined, many Andeans escaped their tribute obligations by leaving to find work in the cities or on Spanish haciendas (large farms). The people who were left behind had to work just that much harder.
A viceroy, literally "vice-king", reigned like a monarch over distant American provinces, with the power to make laws, wage war, and sentence people to death. Communication with the Spanish crown was slow. Over the years, many wrote letters of complaint to the king. Some were justified, as when native peoples protested corrupt priests or the resettlement. Other complaints now seem laughable, as when the encomenderos (the heirs of the conquistadores) whined that Toledo had stripped them of their authority (but not their rents). Toledo himself eventually grew tired of ruling the Andes and begged Philip to replace him. Twelve years after Toledo arrived he sailed back to Spain in 1581, a figure so unpopular that the king refused to grant him a high office, the usual reward for a returning viceroy. Toledo retired to one of his estates, where he died alone.
Toledo was an unbending idealist determined to stamp out what comfort a conquered people could find in a drink and in ancestral rituals. According to Jeremy Mumford's analysis, Toledo's resettlement ranks as one of the earliest and grandest feats of modern rural social engineering, mirrored 400 years later by other miserable failures such as Julius Nyerere's model villages in Tanzania, or the Soviet collective farms.
The resettlement also failed to achieve Toledo's two main aims in the Andes: chicha is still popular and so are Andean rituals, at least in Bolivia, where burnt offerings to the Pacha Mama (Earth Mother) are widely and openly practiced, even by the Hispanic middle class.
Agricultural policies must be drafted by pragmatists, not by idealists. And parks shouldn't be named after tyrants.

Printable Phonics Worksheets For Phonogram Practice. See below.
Phonics is like an adventure.
Which sounds reveal the word?
If children are to read and write easily, they need the code; and they need to practice the code. Where will they find time if not in your class?
Use our phonics videos and printable flash cards with our practice worksheets to teach and practice learning the phonics sounds.
Phonics videos make it easy to get the right sound with the right letters.
For our ESL and EFL friends, remember that most sounds, especially the consonants, will be the same as what you already know from your own language. You might say it with a different accent. Simple! Just add practice.
There are children who can read by the time that they are five years old when they are taught using Orton methods.
Older children often "catch on" and "catch up" within a few weeks, simply because they already know many of the sounds on this page.
There are 44 printable worksheet downloads on this page that you can use with any phonics or alphabet system. If you're not using an Orton based system, you may want to use the phonogram videos at the bottom of this page.
If you're using a PC, you can see each worksheet before you download it, or print it from your screen (depending on your computer or browser settings).
As per the note above, you can also save these phonics worksheets to a file for your children to have them practice while using a computer. They love being able to choose their own colors and fonts. After the work is done, you are still able to print it if you'd like.
These are all interactive worksheets which means your children can do their work on the computer to save ink and paper.
1. The first two phonics downloads on this page cover the 72 Orton phonograms which include the 26 alphabetical letters..
If you say the sounds as your beginning students practice writing them, they will learn them better, and this will also help those who aren't able to write from dictation yet.
Use these to help your older students practice saying the letter sounds as they write them.
Some of these downloads have 3 to 12 pages.
Phonics practice helps kids remember their work. The more they practice phonics the faster they will have writing and reading fluency. Review is key.
Practice these sounds often at the beginning, yet every single word they read or write from now on will automatically offer practice. Generally, there's no need to beleaguer the point.
Practice the new phonic sounds at the beginning of the day, once before lunch, once after lunch and again before you're finished with the day.
Practice each sound three times each and circle back once or twice. Then leave it. Most children appreciate the short study, and most children learn well this way.
Why do these phonics worksheets have such small lines? Give it a try. You may not ever use the giant ruled lines for your students again.
A large rule in K-3 makes it so hard for kids to be able to write smaller in third or fourth grade. They find it extra hard to make capital letters taller than the the other letters in a word.
You'll find that it is so much easier for your kids to write smaller from the start and they can skip the transition grief in later years.
Very little children can trace and copy the top line while saying the sound with you.
Find our trace and copy larger ruled printable Alphabet Worksheets and Phonics Flash Cards here.
This copy exercise can be expanded to include handwriting practice if the children are learning to make their letters. Simply have them write the letters three times on the same line.
For older children add words that use the sound to be copied.
Bookmark this page on your phone to use the printer at school.
The first set of Phonics worksheets has 11 pages that teach the first sounds of each letter and the short vowel sounds and is great for Preschool and Kindergarten.
So many times, especially with older children, it is good to teach the sound and have them review by going to the board to think their way through the words and their sounds. Then the worksheets are an excellent review of what they have just learned.
The treasure here is that the words are already written so that there's not so much danger of misspelling when practicing the sounds or handwriting. Watch that they think to spell though. Thinking what the sounds say will make remembering them so much easier and faster.
The rest of these worksheets have 2 to 6 pages for practicing the different multi-letter phonograms. They are in alphabetical order so that you will find the worksheets you need easily. Use them with these videos depending on the level of your children.
New: I am uploading two manuscript line sizes of each of the worksheets so am giving them new webpages with more info and ideas.
One size is great for little kids and the other is good for older children. If you want smaller sizes as for high school, print the large size two up.
and three worksheets are for trigraphs (dge, ear, and tch), meaning three letters.
Find one quadgraph worksheet for ough.
Most of these pages will have phonics rules and dictation ideas, like sentences to go with each word or grammar hints. You can add these to your daily phonics lesson plans.
Alphabet Phonics Worksheets - The first PDF bundle here has 11 pages for the first sounds of the 26 letters. The list has words that start with the letters in alphabetical order so you can review the consonant and short vowels as you teach the alphabet. Most of the words use the short vowel sounds as with short a, e, i, o, u. These are excellent first grade short vowel activities.
ER Words - The next five have 2 to 6 pages of phonograms for the er, ir, ur words. Some also have er ending words, etc.
Multi-Letter Phonograms - The rest of the phonics bundles are in alphabetical order.
These PDF multi-letter phonogram worksheets are in alphabetical order and include long vowel phonemes: ai and ay, ee, igh, oe, oa, oi and oy, or.
See also consonant digraph worksheets ch and th.
Use many of these as long vowel worksheets for teaching the long vowel phonemes.
Hint: You really want to help your kids get a habit of saying the sounds as they write the letters. Early. Like from the beginning.
What about EA, EI, IE, EY, EIGH, and OE Words?
The simple answer is that I have not made these worksheets yet.
A better answer is that I really believe in Romalda Spalding's method (Sanseri, Beers, et al) and think that children should think to spell these words.
Words that start with GH: ghast, gherkin, ghetto, ghost.
GH words have fallen out of mainstream vocabulary as terms like Holy Ghost are not used as often as in days past.
Silent consonant GH worksheets: Teach phonograms augh, igh, and ough.
NG is a phonogram, NK is two letters that retain their original sounds.
ED and ING endings or suffixes are guided by grammar rules for past and continuous tense verbs.
The thing with phonics videos is that you can hear the sounds with the correct letters. There's no dropping the cards, forgetting the right sound, or inadvertently teaching the wrong sound.
Phonics videos can help you teach the sounds of the alphabet letters.
Phonics Activities Beginner - The first 26 phonograms with video.
Long & Short Vowel Videos - Two phonics videos with practice worksheets: Practice the basic long and short vowel sounds.
Phonics Rules & Video - List of English phonics rules.
Advanced Phonics Lessons - All 72 phonograms and graphemes.
If you have ESL students, you'll love our long and short vowel videos. Simply teach that most of their first language words use the long sounds and most English words (67%) use short vowel sounds. Plain, clear, and repeatable.
This being said, we all know that it can also be hard to find the time necessary to be able to dictate the repeat practice and drill that is necessary for mastery of phonic sounds.
Videos are handy for easy audio-visual reinforcement.
If you have ESL students who need video instruction, you will love Barbara Beers' Phonics Road video instructions.
Perhaps English is your second language? Barbara's videos are perfect. I now have several ESL friends who are grateful to have found the Phonics Road.
4. Use Printable Phonics Worksheets With The Sounds: Say it. Write it. Repeat it.
Most of our worksheets have two to four pages for extended and varied practice, so this can be way too much for little children. Assign only one page in the beginning.
Be encouraged to teach Phonics at any stage of learning to read or write. When there's a reading or spelling fault, remind them of the correct way, and review the rule or the correct sounds briefly. Then move on.
Explicit instruction of isolated phonemes or phonograms - teaching the alphabet sounds - offers kids a measure of certitude and phenomenal tools for future success. If the review is quick and sweet, they learn the phonics lessons more easily and your children won't chafe at repeating the review later.
Once you teach the basic phonics sounds; any spelling, vocabulary, writing, or reading comprehension worksheet becomes practice phonics worksheets as well. Practice writing the letters and words is one of the main benefits of these phonics blend worksheets.
Use our printable phonics flashcards for teaching the Phonics sounds. These have all three lines printed (top line, mid-point, and base line) so your children can see where letters of the alphabet sit.
So many times kids do not know where the descenders descend below the base line as with the g, j, and p on the phonogram cards if there are no lines. Hopefully using the lines is helpful to you, it was a huge help to my students. Try putting the lines on the board to see if your students "get" the base line way much better. Mine did.
These free printable phonics flashcards match the phonics videos above. Print one side of these phonogram cards to use with your own word clues, or print them double sided to see the phonemic hints.
I think you'll like the Phonics lessons related to Dr. Orton's methods best. They're the ones that use dictation like Spalding, Schola Publications, Riggs, Dettmer, etc.
After teaching and reviewing the sounds, if you'll dictate the sounds to your students, they'll be able to write and read more naturally.
Teaching children to become familiar with the the phonics sounds and the phonics rules is the best method to explicitly teach the alphabet to any student, young or old, who wishes to read and write well and to retain those skills.
Check Romalda Spalding's The Writing Road To Reading. She learned from Dr. Orton and really emphasized that review is important.
In the beginning I spent a over a year teaching phonics without realizing how much the kids needed quick and frequent review.
Now that I do more review, my results as a teacher are WAY better. Easy review is the main reason why I offer our practice worksheets.
After Spalding I also learned a great deal from Mrs. Barbara Beers' Phonics Road videos. They're next best to having a real teacher to help you. I know a girl who was taught for kindergarten with the first level in about 9 months who knew her phonics letter blends and tested at a second grade level.
I once had an ESL Spanish speaking neighbor who used these DVDs as a way to learn to speak and spell English better. She'd asked for help so I wound up doing what Mrs. Beers does in her videos. We were both so glad that she could use the streaming at home. Read more about Mrs. Beers' Phonics Road here.
I've been very happy to have used Wanda Sanseri's Spell To Write and Read. Her pre-formed notebooks are a huge savings in classroom time and in children's understanding of what they're doing. Her entire program is very cost effective and is made so that you are able to learn the system as you work by staying one page ahead of the students.
If you're interested in a level by level approach you would want to look at All About Spelling by Marie Rippel. Deanna Caswell from Little Schoolhouse in the Suburbs gives an excellent comparison between AAS and WRTR here.
5.C. What Are Dipthongs and Digraphs?
Di means two in Greek. Graph means write or letter. A digraph indicates, or stands for, a two letter sound.
A digraph is two letters representing one sound.
A dipthong is the sound of the two letters.
And guess what? There are trigraphs (dge, igh, tch);and quadgraphs (augh, eigh, and ough). Trigraphs have three letters and quad graphs have four.
5.D. What's The Difference Between Digraphs And Blends?
ch, sh, th, ai, ay, ee, etc.
The difference between digraphs and blends is that blends retain the sounds of the individual letters. The individual letters retain their sounds, yet you say them slurred together.
The same applies to trigraph letters as digraphs. You can still hear the letter sounds.
Okay. If you ask me, we're splitting hairs by the time we get to this point, but it's good to know the terms.
What's the difference between phonemes and graphemes?
You hear the first and write or see the second.
Phoneme Definition: A phoneme is an isolated sound in a word.
Phonemic awareness simply means whether a student can discern the different sounds in a word.
Discerning the sounds of phonemes is easier when students live with people who pronounce their words well and is a huge boost in being able to spell well.
When you're teaching the phonograms, you'll want to say the words the way you're teaching them.
Grapheme Definition: A grapheme is the written letters heard in a phoneme.
Graph and gram mean to write.
These are also called phonograms, meaning the symbols of the sounds as written.
If a student knows the letters used in a grapheme when he or she hears phonemes, it is the beginning of being able to spell well.
I have dedicated these free Phonics worksheets and our other Phonics activities to the memory of my Dad who was a super teacher and had spent time learning Phonics in Phoenix at 70 years young and then came home to teach his grandchildren.
In the last few years before his death, he taught the children of over 60 families the sounds of the phonograms - for free!
Everyone was welcome: Moms, Dads, babies, toddlers, and - of course - students! My Mom would have done the same except she had already passed away. Perhaps this is what freed Dad to work so energetically?
Most importantly he helped the children practice the phonics consonant blends and phonograms.
Even slower students who know the Phonics rules and who become handy with the Phonics sounds begin to advance quickly as soon as reading makes sense to them. Once any student has the basic reading skills he is free to read, and thereby, to learn almost anything!
Most students still need phonics lessons and review throughout the early childhood learning and elementary education years so as to learn how the phonics rules apply to bigger words.
I dedicate these Phonics activities to the memory of, my Dad, who was a super teacher, and to serving as many children as I can in his memory.

Review: The Lyons, Menier Chocolate Factory
"Some people are happy and some people are lonely, mean and sad. You strike me as the second kind"
Families – who'd have 'em? Not Ben Lyons that's for sure, as in his upscale New York private hospital room where his terminal cancer has reached crisis point, the cacophony that arises when his wife and two children are around his bed is enough to make anyone reach for the morphine button. Nicky Silver's Broadway hit The Lyons, transferred here to the Menier Chocolate Factory, is one of the most vicious and spikiest dark comedies you'll see all year – this isn't so much a family united in tragedy as further shattered by it.
It's occasionally cruel, it's sometimes funny, more often than not it is cruelly funny – audacious in the jabs that these people make towards their 'nearest and dearest'. Isla Blair's Rita is sat by the bed planning how to redecorate the living room and the sibling rivalry between Charlotte Randle's daughter Lisa, in an alcohol-recovery programme with a turbulent relationship history, and Tom Ellis' son Curtis, shunned by his father due to his sexuality and with his own unique relationship problems, starts from the minute they arrive at the hospital, warring over the size of their respective gifts.
What Silver shows is how wrapped up people get in their own personal tragedies, how the wounds that cut one's own flesh will always hurt more than someone else's, even if theirs are fatal. So despite being the reason that they have all convened, Nicholas Day's Ben is often just a spectator in the war of attrition between all four of them – dark secrets being dragged out, deeply held frustrations being aired, a brutal sense of scores being settled in a lifelong struggle. But for all the darkness, glimmers of light are allowed to shine through in a slightly more reflective second half.
The theatrical ancestry of the show feel directly drawn from plays like Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf but what director Mark Brokaw brings is a televisual feel that also makes it cousins with something like Showtime's Nurse Jackie. It's not that the Lyons start to gain our sympathies but rather that once the atmosphere subsides a little, the characters, and the actors, are allowed to flourish more and suggest their depth.
Randle's Lisa is transformed by the prospect of a simple kindness towards a man, Ellis' Curtis has a late Damascene where he realises the change he needs to make to his life, even Blair's sharp Rita offers something of a clue to her demeanour. It's not enough to really create an emotional connection to the characters, but that would recast the play into more of a tragedy and shift the balance right off-kilter whereas right now, they are few things funnier playing in London. Not a play for those of a delicate disposition, but a bracing piece of blistering comic writing that deserves to be seen.
Running time: 2 hours (with interval) Booking until 16th November

In this succession we delved into two properties of insights: pivot between the concrete and the abstract, and become part of the habitual texture of one's mind These notes also consider a basic theory of what it means to be human as well as the fact that Lonergan's "cognitive operations" are not grounded in the sciences but at the rock at the core of the realm of interiority.
The importance of good symbolism.
Higher Viewpoints. Here we go beyond Lonergan's mathematical examples to explore some of the implications of the notion of higher viewpoints in other realms of meaning. Notable is Lonergan's world view of emergent probability, the depends on the notion of higher perspectives, as well as Adler's four levels in how to read a book. There's an aside on the unrestricted operation of "racism."
This is the first session of the second Insight: Elements directed workshop. The first half consisted of the broad road-map that guides our voyage. The second half considered the opening paragraphs of Chapter 1: great insights are the product of the slow and careful accumulation of smaller insights, and Archimedes's "Eurika!" moment. The attached pdf contains a summary of some of the discussion.
Without the empirical residue the sciences would not be possible, abstraction would not exist, and human beings would be constrained only to the concrete.
In our second session, we concentrated on the difference between knowing and understanding. In the former, one can identify the object, point it out to others, and even talk about its general characteristics and properties. In the latter, one understands why it is the way it is. Our example is that of a wall clock. A person can know that the object is a clock, note that it is a wall clock, and tell the time. But that is a very different matter from understanding that the clock belongs to an industrial society, involves coordinating the actions of a great number of people, and is the necessary component of any well-developed scientific enterprise. One comes to understand why the chock is a clock.
Along the way we bring up an explanatory theory of what it means to be human, for to understand insights involves an understanding of what it means to be human. This theory is grounded in Lonergan's world view of emergent probability, recurring schemes of operation, and three primary levels of human existence starting with the non-conscious brain, moving through the conscious mind, and eventually leading to the transcendental realm of meaning.
But the major focus is on bring to our own attention the importance of insights. Since insights are very common, we normally pay little attention to them and their implications for human knowing. So each participant was asked to provide their own example and explain that insight to the others.

Florida Sheriffs Back Revised Bill That Allows Concealed Carry Permit Holders To Open Carry
By Matt Vespa | 6:45 PM on January 21, 2016
Florida is one of the states in the country that prohibits their residents from open carrying their firearms. The Sunshine State is poised to consider many gun bills this session, one of which allows concealed carry permit holders in the state to open carry their firearms. Yet, it's no necessarily a popular piece of legislation. It divides the state right down the middle, and it's barely moving forward in the legislature. At the same time, the bill received an endorsement from a group that initially opposed the legislation: Florida Sheriffs Association (via WFLA.com):
The FSA is offering this proposal to protect Florida's 1.5 million concealed carry permit holders and clarify Florida laws related to the inadvertent display of firearms, without legalizing complete open carry.
"Today [Jan. 20] in Florida, responsible concealed weapons permit holders can face penalties for unintentionally displaying a weapon – highlighting a major oversight in the laws governing our ability to carry a concealed weapon," said Sheriff Darnell.
"Our proposal protects those who responsibly carry concealed and creates certainty in the law to prevent any unnecessary arrest and prosecution of gun owners who are otherwise following the law."
Concerns related to the arrest and prosecution of concealed carry permit holders who inadvertently display a firearm were identified by the National Rifle Association (NRA) during the 2011 Legislative Session when the current law addressing briefly displaying a firearm was passed.
However, in a recent appearance before the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee and in various other public statements, NRA Past President and current United Sportsmen of Florida President Marion Hammer stated as the reason for their support of the current open carry bill that "there have been problems for years of license holders who were carrying concealed whose firearms accidently and unintentionally became visible to the sight of another person, being stopped, harassed and even arrested and prosecuted under the ban on open carry because somebody saw their gun."
The Florida Sheriffs Association is taking steps to address the problem as stated by Hammer and others, but our proposal stops short of Florida becoming a complete open carry state.
It's not perfect, but it's a start.

Birth Name: Valerie June Bowman
Place of Birth: Shiraz, Iran
Date of Birth: November 14, 1956
Ethnicity: African-American, smaller amounts of Creole [French and African], Scottish, and Native American/Algonquin First Nations, distant Ashkenazi Jewish
Valerie Jarrett is an American attorney, businessperson, and civic leader. She was Senior Advisor to the President of the United States, and Director of the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, both from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017.
Valerie was born in Shiraz, Iran, to American parents, James E. Bowman (James Edward Bowman), a physician, and Barbara (Taylor) Bowman, an early childhood education expert/advocate, author, and professor. Her father ran a children's hospital in Iran at the time of her birth. Her mother was among the four founders of the Erikson Institute for child development. Valerie was mostly raised in the U.S., in Chicago. She has a daughter with her former husband, late medical professional William Jarrett.
Valerie's parents were/are both black, as were all her grandparents.
A DNA test taken by the show Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (2014) stated that Valerie's genetic ancestry is:
——–approx. *28% Irish and Scottish
——–*16% Scandinavia
——–*3% Western Europe
——–*2% Ashkenazi Jewish
*46% Sub-Saharan African
——–*24% Nigeria
——–*8% Congo
——–*6% Ivory Coast and Ghana

Valerie's paternal grandfather was James Edward Bowman (the son of William Henry Bowman and Mary E.). James was born in Washington, D.C. William was the son of Nelson Bowman.
Valerie's paternal grandmother was Dorothy Peterson (the daughter of George Lee Peterson and Mildred Waddy). Dorothy was born in Washington, D.C. George was the son of Lee Peterson and Laura Tyler.
Valerie's maternal grandfather was Robert Rochon Taylor (the son of Robert Robinson Taylor and Beatrice Francis Rochon). Valerie's grandfather Robert was born in Alabama. Valerie's great-grandfather Robert was an architect, who was the first accredited African-American architect, and was also the first African-American student enrolled at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in 1888; he was the son of Henry Taylor and Emily Still. Beatrice was the daughter of Victor Narcisse Rochon and Leonora.
Valerie's maternal grandmother was Laura Dorothy Vaughn Jennings (the daughter of Neros Jennings and Laura Smith). Valerie's grandmother Laura was born in California. Valerie's great-grandmother Laura was the daughter of Ella Vaughn.
Valerie had once stated that one of her great-grandfathers was Jewish. No Jewish ancestry has evidently been documented for Valerie Jarrett, and none of her great-grandfathers were Jewish (at least in the traditional sense). However, her DNA test result did state that she has 2% Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, which means she likely had a Jewish ancestor several more generations back.

SNARED
ISIS terror chief who burned Jordanian pilot to death in chilling 2015 execution video is captured in Iraq
Syrian national Saddam al-Jamal was captured in Iraq last week after being lured from Syria by intelligence officers using the phone of an ISIS lieutenant captured in February.
Alice Tidey
AN ISIS leader believed to have burned a Jordanian pilot to death has been captured, along with four other high-ranking members of the Islamist terror group.
Syrian national Saddam al-Jamal was captured in Iraq last week after being lured from Syria by intelligence officers using the phone of Ismail al-Ethawi, an ISIS lieutenant captured in February.

Tipped as a future leader of the terrorist organisation, al-Jamal was known for his brutality.
Jordanian authorities have accused him of being behind the brutal execution of downed pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh in 2015.
The Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot was shot down in Raqqa, Syria, in December 2014. A few weeks later, ISIS released a video of al-Kasasbeh being burned alive in a cage.
A former commander in the Free Syrian Army which fought against President Bashar al-Assad's forces, al-Jamal had also taken part in multiple atrocities including a 2014 massacre in Deir Ezzor, Syria, in which 700 members of a tribe opposed to ISIS were killed.

The gruesome 2015 footage showed him being set alight
The fighter pilot was captured after his plane was downed over Syria
He also ordered the execution of children, sometimes in front of their parents.
Al-Ethawi, who was captured in February, was a top aide to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Intelligence officers used his account on Telegram, a social media app favoured by terror organisations because it encrypts messages, to lure the other four high-ranking leaders out of Syria. The five of them were on a group chat together.
Iraqi security adviser Hisham al Hashemi told The Telegraph that Iraqi troops were surprised to see the four senior senior jihadists travel on motorcycles, having expecting them to arrive in a motorcade.

Al-Hashemi also said that American troops also took part in the operation.
ISIS field commanders Mohamed al-Qadeer, Issam Abdel Kader al-Zawba'i and Omar Shehab El-Karboul were also captured in the sting, which has been praised by Donald Trump.
"Five Most Wanted leaders of ISIS just captured," the US president posted on Twitter last week.
Omar Shehab El-Karboul was among the ISIS commanders captured
So too was Ismail Alwan al-Ethawi. Investigators used his phone to lure the others to their arrest
Another ISIS captive was Mohamed al-Qadeer
The fifth snared jihadi was Issam Abdel Kader al-Zawba'i

DOI stars fume as Vanessa stays with BF while they leave their families


This is a key month for the 21stcentury. If Net Neutrality is killed in the United States, as is the federal government's plan, it would hurt lifelong learning programs and other non-profits big time.
Here's what online guru Dan Belhassen told LERN, "I see educational resources as being one of those categories that could be "killed in the crossfire". Major telcos will eventually prioritize traffic that is most valuable to them.
"There are two impacts – one is on the content, the other is on the geography.
The bigger impact for lifelong learning programs and non-profits of killing net neutrality could be serving those in non-urban areas.Belhassen, who teaches online for UGotClass and does webinars for LERN, identified content – – the big guys like Amazon and Walmart and Google and Netflix, versus your program's content. You, with less money than Netflix, lose out and your customers get weak signals from you.
Belhassen told LERN, "A bigger impact, that I don't see being discussed, in the impact on geography. For instance, let's say that you're a learner in Somalia. First of all, you have a disadvantage because perhaps you have less bandwidth to begin with.
Canada and other advanced nations may not suffer from the U.S. killing net neutrality, according to Belhassen, from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
California is making some critical moves right now regarding net neutrality. California is on the verge of passing the nation's toughest, and best, net neutrality law.
California is the world's fifth largest economy – – yes, the world's. So if California preserves net neutrality it will have a huge positive impact on saving net neutrality for the rest of the United States – – and your lifelong learning program.

A big month
Apparently Gary Caldwell's transfer to Wigan almost fell through because of the bad weather.
Until 40,000 Celtic fans volunteered to help clear the road.
Boom, boom!
In his defence Gary brightened up the SPL. The inexplicable mistakes, the charging runs that so often came to absolutely nothing, the complete lack of self awareness in his pronouncements to the press, the embarrassment of having to explain to anyone not up to speed that the Celtic centre half was last year's player of the year. All great fun.
He's got his ambition of playing in the English Premier now. I wonder if he saw that happening with a team like Wigan? Anyway, good luck to him. I'm sure he'll enjoy endless days of George Orwell related sightseeing at the pier.
Caldwell's transfer actually forms part of Tony Mowbray's biggest statement of intent since arriving at Celtic Park. With Willo Flood, Barry Robson and Chris Killen also moving south Celtic are clearing the decks.
Footballing orthodoxy suggests that managers are unable to effect too many changes in January. The poor start to his Celtic career has given Mowbray no choice but to make some pretty major changes now in the hope of turning the season round.
Celtic are out of two of the four tournaments they entered and still seven points behind in the SPL. That gap is not insurmountable but he needs players he can trust and players of a certain quality if he is to hunt Rangers down.
With Jos Hooiveld signed Mowbray has replaced Caldwell already but he'll need to sign others if he hopes to sustain a challenge.
The risk, as Celtic found to their cost last year, is that to buy in January you've sometimes got to pay over the odds. When Peter Lawwell refused to do that last year he robbed Gordon Strachan of the chance to freshen things up.
Strachan must have realised as February loomed that Celtic's failure to strengthen offered Rangers hope. When Walter Smith managed to turn that hope into self belief Strachan and his players had no way of responding.
This is another January of high stakes for a Celtic manager and his board.
Across the city, at the top of the table Rangers must simply endure the transfer window. The squad will not be strengthened, so Walter Smith must hope that it is not weakened. He's already missing some key players – including Bougherra and Boyd – through international commitments, injury and suspension.
Temporary absences he'll feel he can cope with. If too many of them are made permanent in an effort to appease the money men then it will be time for some panic in Govan.
Despite the seven point gap, this year's SPL remains very much in the balance.
It looks like this snow covered January might yet turn out to be the pivotal month of the season.

Q: if statement cant apply the operator '<=' at the operators of type 'bool' and 'float' bool isMouseClicked;
bool Test;
float Number1;
float Number2;
float Number3;

isMouseClicked = true;
Number1 = -1;
Number2 = 0;
Number3 = 1;

void Update()
{
   if (isMouseClicked && Number1 <= Number2 <= Number3)
   {
      Test = true;
   }
}

When I run this program it tells me Operator '<=' cannot be applied to operands of type 'bool' and 'float'.

A: This:
Number1 <= Number2 <= Number3

Means this:
(Number1 <= Number2) <= Number3

And a number can not be greater than or less than a boolean value.
Basically, you're thinking about this in terms of intuitive human languages.  Don't.  Think about this in terms of logical conditions.  What are the conditions you want to express?
You want to express this:
Number1 <= Number2

And this:
Number2 <= Number3

The language used says it all... "this and this".  Combine the operations exactly like that:
Number1 <= Number2 && Number2 <= Number3

So overall each logical operation is its own distinct condition being checked:
if (
  isMouseClicked
  && Number1 <= Number2
  && Number2 <= Number3
)

Students will read, reflect, and write about a story to examine self-expression.
Speaking and Listening: Describe familiar people, places, things and events with relevant details, expressing ideas and feelings clearly.
Before reading the story, ask students to think about an activity that makes them happy. Students should consider activities they enjoy partaking in, such as after school activities, sports, arts and crafts, games on the playground, etc. After providing adequate time to consider the question, invite students to share their thoughts. At the front of the classroom, list their answers. Leave room for a title.
Point out the diverse interests of the classroom with questions such as, "Is what makes one person happy sometimes different from what makes another person happy?" Discuss how this diversity can be positive.
Write "Express Yourself" as the title of your classroom's list. Ask if students know what the phrase "Express Yourself" means. Explain that one way people "express" their true selves is by doing activities that make them happy.
What does Bailey's family say when she tells them about her dreams?
Bailey feels that wearing a dress allows her to express her true self. How is what Bailey feels different from how her family sees her?
This question also provides the educator with an opportunity to discuss that Bailey's preferred pronouns (she/her/hers) reflect how she feels on the inside, in contrast to how her family sees her (as a boy).
How would you feel if someone teased you for how you express yourself?
At the end of the book, what does Laurel ask Bailey to help her with? How do you think this makes Bailey feel? Why?
If you saw a student being teased for their self-expression (how they dressed or acted), what could you do?
"These dresses don't show us the Great Wall of China, or the Pyramids," said Laurel. "No," said Bailey, "but they do show ourselves." Have children create a dress that displays an activity that makes them happy or allows for self-expression. If age appropriate, have students write 2-3 sentences on the back of the dress describing what activity makes them happy and how they would react if they saw someone being teased for their self-expression.

8 Simple Rules For Becoming A Successful Online Personality
15 Actors Who Very Nearly Quit Before Landing Their Breakout Roles
11 Events That Have Happened As Many Times As President Trump Has Been Impeached
Ian Fortey ·
YouTube may seem like the wild, untamed West of entertainment. But amidst the tutorials on how to fix your router set to the tune of "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor" is a real industry. Recently, YouTube personality and plays-games-on-camera artist JonTron decided to open up about racism -- in the sense that he said a bunch of racist stuff, which you can read about over here. For the abridged version, JumboTron said things like "wealthy blacks commit more crimes than poor whites" and that America doesn't need immigrants "from incompatible places," which I guess means no Neo Geo games on the PlayStation. Game metaphor!
Surprising no one but JimJam, his rambling anti-immigrant, anti-POC diatribe was upsetting to Playtonic Games, a company that was going to have him do a voiceover in a game. So they dropped him like a hot, intolerant potato.
There's a secondary issue here that needs to be addressed, and that's the weird, ever-growing habit young professionals have these days of putting the wrong foot forward with employers and potential employers. In the olden days, job-hunting tips included "Wear a power tie" and "Give a firm handshake." Well, times have changed, and job tips have changed with them. So here are a few bits of advice for all the job-seekers out there who hope to make a good impression on the internet. An eternal impression. Because the internet never forgets, and it will remember long after the singularity and humanity is reduced to dust that the robot overlords snort.
Don't Say Racist Stuff
Imagine you're a bunny and you live in a big, fluffy Zootopia. One day, Bunntech Industries invites you to interview for an IT position and you leap at the chance. Then, during the interview, which is going great, they Zoogle you and pull up your Twitter. Your last tweet said "Going to my interview! Wish me luck, except for you lazy fucking fox scumbags who should be scoured from the Earth. Also, fuck the Irish." Uh-oh, now HR is on your cotton-tailed, KKK-loving ass. You fucked up. The things you say online tend to stay online, so maybe don't spread rampant hatred and intolerance and expect no one important to ever see it.
6 Jobs That Are Super Racist, And Nobody Seems To Care
Learn To Apologize
So maybe you pulled a JonBenet or a PewDiePie or even a Paul Manafort. Shit happens. Everybody has a bad day. Sometimes you break the copier, sometimes you're a white supremacist or committing treason. Say you're sorry. Apologizing is one of the most important skills a person can learn, because it costs you literally nothing and can mean literally everything. Is your pride worth public humiliation, scorn, loss of income, and a potential falcon punch to the face from a stranger?
If so, add "Turd Sherpa" to your list of faults, because you're clearly working in asshole territory.
Saying you're sorry for offending others can really ameliorate a lot of damage, and arguably doesn't even mean anything. No one is hooking you up to a polygraph, so you don't even have to mean it. Which is why it's so insane that so few monsters try to do it. I mean, you should mean it, but if we're talking "should," you shouldn't be a racist pig scrotum to begin with.
The 5 Most Half Assed Apologies for Historic Crimes
Don't Rain Terror On Others
I love a good troll as much as the next. Who hasn't taken to social media to zing a stupid celebrity or simpleminded president in their day? That's fine. But also, don't wage a campaign of harassment against someone that involves concerted efforts to disseminate nude photos, home phone numbers, or home addresses for the purpose of rounding up a posse of maniacs to make someone's life a living hell because you don't like their opinions on Mass Effect. By all means, call that person a taint polisher if you like, but don't mail them an bag of your vinegar-soaked pubes out of a misplaced sense of vengeance.
And Now, Nicolas Cage Singing 'Purple Rain'
Don't Double Down On Awful
If you find yourself in a pickle, you need to take stock of the situation and try to find the best way to back out of it. Don't burst headfirst into the whole pickle barrel with your little winky in your hand.
Recently, human diarrhea cramp War Machine was in the news because he was found guilty on 29 of 34 counts of insane violence for his attack on former girlfriend Christy Mack. The man menaced her for two hours, broke her orbital bone, knocked teeth out, threatened her with a knife, and sexually assaulted her. The only thing in question was whether what he did qualified as attempted murder, but they were pretty confident on all the assaults. Here's what a couple of douche wranglers on Twitter thought of the situation:
The two-hour beating was a crime of passion, the DA is a feminist which is why he's being punished, and look, if this fuckstump's woman cheated on him, he'd beat her for two hours too! Good job, boys.
You're going to want to not go all in on bombastic dumbfuckery like this. If some completely epic bullshit went down, don't lend your support to it by upping the ante to a new echelon of asinine behavior.
5 Real People Who Lived Crazy Double Lives (And Succeeded)
Don't Defend Nazis And/Or Be One
Do you think Hitler was a hell of a public speaker? Do you feel like Richard Spencer doesn't deserve to be punched? Do you want to engage in a eugenics program to rid the Earth of inferior races? Don't. Don't do any of those things. Don't do them, say them, think them, or believe them. History has taken a pretty decent look at the Nazi phenomenon, and those of us on the right side of everything normal have concurred that Nazis are fucksticks. Don't look for a silver lining. Don't read that Hitler liked dogs and think "Huh, well that's good." It's not fucking good. That's good like an unchewed peanut in a turd is good. It's not good!

The Nazi Outpost In Canada That No One Noticed
Don't Support Murder
It's never a good idea to take a "Yay murder!" standpoint. Don't give George Zimmerman a thumbs up. Don't try to explain what a guy who was shot in the back may have been doing with his back turned that was worthy of a shooting. And, just to reiterate, don't celebrate someone who legally changes their name to War Machine trying to murder his ex. Or even someone with a human name, for that matter.
Scary (And Infuriating) Reasons Murders Don't Get Solved
Avoid Douchey Jokes
One of the great pastimes of Twitter is harassing celebrities. I don't know why, exactly, but it is. But here's the thing: You have to know what you're doing if you want to do this. Free speech isn't always free, as John Cheese explained in his article about how Twitter can destroy your career.
That jackhole made a joke about Patton Oswalt's wife and reaped the whirlwind of what happens when everyone hears your tasteless sense of humor. James Woods sued a Twitter user for accusing him of using cocaine and kept the lawsuit going even after the guy he was suing died. That's how serious online joke abuse can fuck you -- even when you die, someone can keep sticking it in. You'll be fucked in the afterlife. How could that be worth it?

At the beginning of the TV series, the Baratheons have been ruling for 17 years (after displacing the Targaryens), but Queen Cersei's Westerlands/Lannister styles tend to dominate fashions at the royal court (given how dependent the Baratheons have become on the Lannisters). Supergirl began its run on CBS in 2015, but the series was moved to the CW beginning with its second season, where it has remained since. In October 2006, my husband says, "I heard about this online game and downloaded the 10-day trial. I think you will like it. It's called World of Warcraft." "What, Warcraft! I haven't played that game in years." So I made a character and two days into it I said, "We have to get this game." A few months later, my poor spouse, forgetting what I looked like, cosplay costumes for women got a second account so we could play together. You choose the style of the game.Maybe you prefer dressing up as Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros or any Pac-Man character and throw a funny costume party or perhaps you might prefer a "fighter" videogame costume such as Street Fighter or Dragon Ball.
Going with armor, we'll make all the prints for stuff and as many as we can in house but at some stage we might say, OK, we have 150 of these, we need to send them out, and we send them out and get them made at a different company. Check out our Frozen costumes and Marvel costumes categories if you're into today's most popular movies. Check out Gillian from Waterford. We'll help you to work out whether it's worth paying extra for a high-end version or whether you're getting just as good a deal by getting the cheaper item. But it happens really rarely and it's usually a really good communication. It doesn't get much more classic than a pumpkin and also happens to make an adorable outfit choice. From classic 90's arcade games to the latest titles, we have video game fancy dress to suit you! Choose between classic red, blue and green, as well as lesser-seen hues like yellow, orange, purple and more. There's an element of that as well.
Sometimes there's a wonderful scene in each country, and I'm saying, I don't know where to be! And at some stage, you might think, well, actually, you can't have 500. You're going to have 480. There's always a sort of-because we have so much stock now, we can always just shift the look of a few of them and, if you've got 500 and 20 that look slightly different, you don't see it in a mass of people. First, it helps to establish a unique look for each of the Seven Kingdoms and other regions of the world, hopefully making it easier for viewers to distinguish between characters from the North, the Westerlands, or the Reach. It comes just days after the star won Best Authored Documentary at the National Television Awards, while offered viewers a harrowing glimpse of Derek's battle with the virus. It leaves us with a teeny post-credits scene hinting at our beloved Laufeyson's MCU future, and got an hour-long Assembled behind the scenes documentary on Wednesday.
Thousands of union workers in South Korea went on strike Wednesday demanding better workers' rights. Covers all major regions of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros (all lands south of the Wall), including: the North, the Westerlands, the Reach, the Riverlands, the Stormlands, the Vale of Arryn, the Iron Islands, and Dorne. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos revealed at the Code Conference earlier this week that the horror show has "a very good chance it's going to be our biggest show ever," reported CNET (though exact viewership data has yet to be shared), and one South Korean internet service provider is suing the streaming and entertainment company over the surge in network traffic caused by the popular series, per CNBC.

North West Has Officially Revealed Her Favorite Kanye West Song
BAUERGRIFFIN/Bauer-Griffin—GC Images
The best Kanye West song is a topic that's hotly debated by Kanye stans and music enthusiasts alike, but his four-year-old daughter North West already knows what her favorite song of his is, thank you very much.
The tiny heir to the Kimye empire opened up about her father's music in the most recent issue of Interview Magazine, where she shared the cover with her reality TV celebutante mother Kim Kardashian West, posing for a Jackie O-themed photo shoot.
North revealed that her favorite Kanye track is "Amazing" because, according to her, it's "so amazing." It's rogue but decisive pick from the youngster, especially considering that it comes from one of Kanye's less-lauded albums, the spare, auto-tuned 808s and Heartbreak. Kardashian West also shared via Snapchat that North's taste in Kanye's music definitely skews towards the "Old Kanye," as North's playlist featured Kanye's sophomore studio album Late Registration.

From Start-Up to Scale-Up of a Health-Promoting Intervention for Older Adults: The Choose to Move Story
Lindsay Nettlefold, Samantha M. Gray, Joanie Sims-Gould, and Heather A. McKay
Interventions that are effective in research (efficacy or effectiveness) trials cannot improve health at a population level unless they are successfully delivered more broadly (scaled up) outside of the research setting. However, scale-up is often relegated to the too hard basket. Factors such as the need to adapt interventions prior to implementing them in diverse settings at scale, retaining fidelity to the intervention, and cultivating the necessary community and funding partnerships can all present a challenge. In the present review article, we present a scale-up case study—Choose to Move—an effective health-promoting intervention for older adults. The objectives of this review were to (a) describe the frameworks and processes adopted to implement, adapt, and scale up Choose to Move across British Columbia, Canada; (b) provide an overview of the phased approach to scale-up; and (c) share key lessons learned while implementing and scaling up health-promoting interventions with community partners across more than 2 decades.
In Kinesiology Review Ahead of Print
Sport Pedagogy Research and Its Contribution to the Rediscovery of Joyful Participation in Physical Education
Peter A. Hastie
This paper begins with the premise that the purpose of physical education is to help young people grow personal and durable playgrounds. That is, its goal is to allow students in schools to develop the skills and understandings about various movement topics to the extent that they can engage with these in deep and meaningful ways long after their lessons in the gymnasium have concluded. The paper presents a schematic that links how a physical education curriculum should be framed with the necessary ingredients of high-quality teaching to allow for successful forays into various movement cultures. The next section includes a justification of the schema using the very best of research in sport pedagogy that has been translated into school physical education settings. Two specific grand adventures that are the vehicles for creating enduring playgrounds are presented, these being sport education and student-designed games.
American Tackle Football, Brain Trauma, and the Ethical Implications of Cultural Coercion
Adam Berg
In the past decade and a half, scientific discoveries brought to light the prospect that tackle football causes serious brain trauma. This raised questions about the sport's ethical permissibility. By employing scientific, philosophical, sociological, and historical findings, I consider whether it is ethically defensible to permit adults to play the game. My approach works within the bounds of both the ethical theory of liberalism and incorporates several sociological theories focused on gender. I propose that external cultural influences deserve some credit for shaping decisions to participate in America's most popular spectator sport and contend that societies must establish genuinely pluralistic and inclusive gender ideologies and structures to ensure football's permissibility. In particular, I suggest that to ensure that tackle football is ethical for adults, the presence and prominence of gender pluralism and inclusivity in youth settings are necessary.
Ableism in Kinesiology in Higher Education: A Conversation Starter
Fabián Arroyo-Rojas, A. Chloe Simpson, Paige Laxton, Marie Leake, Jamie Linker, and Justin A. Haegele
In this expository paper, we reflect upon our understanding of how disabled people are discussed and treated in kinesiology and adapted physical activity in higher education and explore potential areas of unintentional harm that may be present in our everyday practice. There are three particular aspects of kinesiology in higher education that we discuss: access, language, and assessment. We discuss the challenges of access of disabled people in positions in higher education, language in higher education which serves as centers for knowledge creation, and the problematic nature of assessments based on societal norms, and for us, it is important to shine a spotlight on the many systemic limitations and barriers that disabled persons experience, in hope to amplify the importance of these issues.
The Meritocracy Trap and Kinesiology
Gregg Twietmeyer and Tyler G. Johnson
Meritocracy continues to dominate conventional thinking in the postmodern West. Yet, recently, an increasing number of critics have highlighted how meritocracy has gone wrong. One such critic is Daniel Markovits, author of The Meritocracy Trap. In this article, we highlight the major themes of Markovits's book, identify how the ideology of meritocracy has infiltrated kinesiology and sport, and then propose how to reconceptualize and redirect kinesiology toward a more humane and morally sound discipline, which can avoid the pitfalls of the meritocracy trap. Most notably, we propose that kinesiology should (a) recognize the frailty and temporality of humans, (b) embrace the wide middle of human skill performance capabilities, (c) value mid-level jobs and occupations such as physical education teaching and YMCA and/or city recreation department positions, and (d) redefine what counts as success.

Exemplifying Inclusive Excellence: How Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis Leads by Example in Kinesiology
Mark Urtel, NiCole Keith, and Rafael E. Bahamonde
This article documents the highlights achieved by the Department of Kinesiology at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis over the span of 25 years that culminated with their being awarded the Inclusive Excellence award as sponsored by the American Kinesiology Association. Furthermore, this journey was presented using the special issue focus on leadership. Presented experiences occurred within the typical faculty understanding of teaching, research, and service. Recognition was given to the university and campus that hosts this department as it related to the overall diversity and inclusion culture developed on the broader scale, as this is important to acknowledge. This journey could inform or inspire other similar units as they strive to enhance diversity and inclusive excellence in their respective institutions.

A Tale of Two Communities: Improving Student Engagement Through Experiential Learning
Sarah P. Shultz, Julius Moss, Lisa L. Hicks, and Robert B. Brubeck
Community engagement creates evidence-based, experiential learning opportunities for kinesiology programs seeking to enhance student experiences through meaningful connections. We argue that increasing community engagement through hands-on experiential learning opportunities should serve as a model for effectively creating a stronger sense of belonging among kinesiology students. Two cases explore kinesiology program initiatives at private universities emphasizing activist learning models with established community-service pedagogy. Both cases conceptualize research activities, including the design and implementation phases, as well as relevant outcomes developed on the respective campuses. We discuss how experiential learning and community engagement enable students' sense of belonging and improve student engagement outcomes for kinesiology programs.
Leading at the Edge During COVID-19: Challenges, Opportunities, and Future Pandemic Preparedness
Steven J. Elmer and Kelly B. Kamm
In this paper, we describe how the Department of Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology at Michigan Technological University assembled a COVID-19 pandemic response team to help protect the health of the campus and rural community. Specifically, our team worked to (a) enhance public health messaging, (b) manage the university contact tracing program, (c) expand health science curricula, (d) promote and facilitate physical activity as a key mitigation strategy, and (e) provide professional development opportunities for students. We also consider strategies to prepare for subsequent COVID-19 surges and future health emergencies. Leveraging our broad-based training in health science and "leading at the edge" was a critical asset for the campus and community and may serve as a model for other kinesiology departments and rural colleges and universities.
