A Hole In One for Harlow, presented by our naming sponsor, Retirement Income Strategies, held its inaugural golf outing on September 8, 2018 at the Evansville Country Club in Evansville WI. After a week of torrential downpours and concerns over continued rain on Saturday, the skies parted and the sun shone with a light breeze while twenty teams of golfers ranging from amateurs to PGA professionals teed off at 10am with a shotgun start. Several holes held friendly competitions in an effort to raise funds as well as increase the stakes for the coveted first place bragging rights!
Among the hole prizes, A Hole in One for Harlow also offered several silent auction items and dozens of raffle prizes ranging from golf outing vacation packages to NCAA football and basketball tickets and autographed professional hockey items. Thanks to all of our generous donors, there were prizes for participants and spectators in every age range!
The beautiful afternoon came to a close with a dinner and the raffle prize drawings. Thanks to our incredible sponsors, donors, participants and volunteers, our first golf event raised over $25,000 to help fund research that will not only find a cure for Harlow's neuroblastoma, but for all children battling neuroblastoma.
After a career in education, Kim left teaching when her niece Harlow was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Now she's helping with Beat Nb's fundraising in Wisconsin. Kim, like Beat Nb, is #HarlowStrong.
We only email once or twice a month, always relevant to how we're working to beat neuroblastoma and other childhood cancers.


Cliff jumping is a popular pastime for Hanover's more ambitious thrill-seekers.
It was a Sunday afternoon, and my friends and I were driving in the direction of the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge. We were following a hand-drawn map bequested to us by a graduating senior this past spring — a map to a (supposedly) great swimming spot.
Considering that the map wasn't exactly drawn to scale and our cell service was spotty, it's a miracle that we made it at all. But make it we did, and we were all anxious to jump in and take a respite from the scorching summer sun. Once we got out of the car and got a closer look, however, we quickly realized that this wasn't just a swimming hole.
With its high, rocky cliffs and rich blue waters below, this place was a perfect place for cliff jumping.
Cliff jumping is often considered an extreme activity, one for only the most daring, reckless and crunchy of individuals. I am none of those things, and had never cliff jumped before. I was terrified.
Admittedly, the descent really wasn't that long at all, comparable to the high diving board of a pool. I was more nervous about the uneven rocks I was standing on: if I didn't jump of my own accord, these rocks might have forced me to jump against my will. After some deep breaths and a very loud countdown from my friends, I mustered up the courage and leapt forward.
What happened next is a bit of a blur, but somehow, against all odds, I emerged from the water, still alive. My first cliff jump hadn't ended in death, so at least I had that going for me.
In all seriousness, living in Hanover means that thrill-seeking Dartmouth students and community members alike have access to many prime cliff jumping spots. However, not all of them are marked on your everyday map. This week, the Mirror interviewed three students — Katie Bogart '20, Davis Brief '20 and Whit Fanestil '20 — to learn about their favorite places to cliff jump.
Fanestil described himself as "not that great" of a cliff jumper, but he has plenty of experience jumping off cliffs in the area. He first recalled the Elizabeth Mine, more commonly known as just "the copper mines," which used to be a popular site for students to jump off cliffs into unusually teal waters. Fanestil noted that the Elizabeth Mine was accessible to cliff jumpers of all comfort levels, with ledges ranging from 15 feet above the water to 60 feet. Unfortunately for prospective cliff jumpers, the Elizabeth Mine is no longer safe to swim in due to recent blasting and draining.
Another good cliff jumping spot that Fanestil mentioned is the Concord Quarries, slightly over an hour's drive away from Hanover . The remnants of granite mining many decades ago, Concord Quarries is a local favorite that features cliffs up to 40 feet high.
Fanestil acknowledged that students in search of an adrenaline rush are likely to cliff jump even in areas where it may be unsafe or illegal.
"Honestly, I think that because we're in college, a lot of people are trying to cliff jump … in places that shouldn't be actual cliff jumping locations," Fanestil said.
When it comes to safety, Bogart explained that the Connecticut River's depth and speed vary depending on both the time of year and time of day. The primary reason for this fluctuation is the Wilder Dam. Bogart explains that when the dam is released, water flows down the Connecticut at a much faster pace, which in turn leads to a lower water level. When the dam is held, the opposite is true. For people jumping into the river, whether from a rope swing on the banks or off of a bridge, these transitions are important. When the dam is released and the water level lowers, jumping in can be riskier.
One popular cliff jumping spot that Bogart listed was the Ledyard Bridge, which connects Hanover to Norwich. There, the effects of the dam are easily felt.
While many students learn about the best cliff jumping spots in the area by asking upperclassmen and town residents, Brief arrived at Dartmouth already having that knowledge. Though he grew up in Florida, throughout his childhood Brief and his family made trips to Quechee, Vermont, around a 20 minute drive from Hanover.
A seasoned cliff jumping veteran, Brief first jumped off a bridge overlooking the Ottauquechee River when he was eight years old. His highest jump was also in the area, off the bridge by the Simon Pearce restaurant in Quechee. Brief recommends this bridge to both new and experienced cliff jumpers — there are spots where the drop is only 10 feet, and the height gradually increases, giving more experienced jumpers a bigger adrenaline rush.
Regardless of one's skill level, however, Brief emphasized the importance of safety. He said that many new cliff jumpers don't know how crucial it is to check for water depth and debris before jumping, even if a person has jumped there before.
Brief also recommends that cliff jumpers wear shoes. Oftentimes, people tend to drink near popular cliff jumping spots, and there can be glass shards in the water. And even if there aren't any broken bottles, having shoes just adds one more layer of protection in case someone sinks low enough to reach the bottom after submerging.
Brief rejected the idea that cliff jumping is only for people who love "extreme" things. He talked about a day trip he took with his fraternity and a few other Greek houses in which nearly 60 people went cliff jumping . Some of the people who went were only comfortable with the lowest jumps and preferred to stay near the water, and Brief said that he'd encourage anyone to start small.
Fanestil, Bogart and Davis all recognized the reasons why someone might be afraid to cliff jump for the first time, but all of them were also eager to share their positive experiences and encourage those who've never tried it before to give it a shot. With the proper precautions and, ideally, some good friends, cliff jumping can be an exhilarating rush and just one more way to make the most out of sophomore summer.

NFBUK wants to promote awareness of changes to Disabled Students Allowance and to campaign with blind and partially sighted students to ensure they have access to the standardised resources they require to participate in and complete higher education, without incurring costs related to their disability themselves.
Changes being implemented to Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) from 2016 mean that higher education providers will be expected to take primary responsibility for most non-medical help in bands 1 and 2, and DSA will keep primary responsibility for funding sighted guides.
Bands 1 and 2 include readers, scribes and library support.
NFBUK feels strongly that blind and partially sighted students should all have access to standard resources and this should not vary according to the individual higher education institute.
Eligible DSA students assessed as requiring a computer to undertake their studies because of their disability will be expected to contribute the first £200 towards the cost of their computer. A charge that the NFBUK finds unreasonable as it further disadvantages people with a disability.
There is an impact on the retention of blind and partially sighted students in higher education if they feel there is insufficient support. A survey by Randstad July (2014) reported that "More than one in three students with a disability (34%) say they would definitely not have attended university without DSA support". NFBUK is concerned that these changes will impact negatively on, and are in contradiction to, the widening participation agenda that higher education is meant to be encouraging.
None medical helpers working with students through the DSA will be required to complete a new Quality Assessment framework to update their skills. Although they have until 2018 to do this there is concern that students will lose very experienced helpers who don't want to complete the assessment framework. NFBUK is concerned about loss of experienced helpers and the impact on students.
In summary NFBUK do not think it is reasonable that blind and partially sighted students should incur costs or be offered none standardised services and resources, and that they should also be given full information about what is available to them when they first apply to university.
Increase awareness amongst blind and partially sighted students of higher education institutes obligations to provide support for disability and gain access to this support.
Monitor, by working with higher education institutes and students, the level of support and provision available under Band 1 and Band 2 for blind and partially sighted students.

Several readers wrote to us recently with questions about vitamin K.
It seems that most people pay little or no attention to this unusual vitamin until they start taking anticoagulant drugs to prevent blood clots. Then, if their doctors are on top of things, they will be advised to cut down on their vitamin K intake. At this point, most folks say, "Vitamin what?"
Vitamin K is one of the fat soluble vitamins (like vitamins A, D and E), but unlike those more familiar substances, not much of it is stored in the body. Fortunately, however, about 80% of the vitamin K we need is synthesized by the bacteria that normally live in our intestinal tracts.
Without vitamin K, your blood would not clot. The process by which this works is very complex, but, basically, vitamin K acts as a catalyst that transforms some anticlotting proteins, which are always present, into clotting proteins when there is a cut or wound to the body.
For those of you interested in how things get discovered, we have the Danes to thank for figuring this one out. Back in the 1930s, scientists in Copenhagen found out that chicks, which were fed a fat-free diet, suffered from bleeding problems. Eventually the researchers figured out that there was a substance in alfalfa that cured the condition. They named it vitamin K, for the Danish word Koagulation.
The recommended daily allowances for vitamin K are relatively modest, between 60 mcg and 80 mcg, depending on age and gender.
Deficiencies are extremely rare in healthy people. However, they can occur in people who have certain malabsorption syndromes, liver disease or who are taking long-term antibiotic therapy. Also, some infants do not have the necessary intestinal bacteria to manufacture vitamin K and may need supplementation for a period of time.
The biggest worry these days about vitamin K is for people who have circulatory or cardiovascular disease and are put on blood-thinning drugs such as Coumadin or Warfarin. These drugs can interfere with the body's own production of vitamin K, and in case of a serious injury, it may be difficult to stop the bleeding. However, physicians who prescribe such drugs generally monitor the vitamin K status of their patients.
In an everyday diet, healthy people would have a difficult time getting too much vitamin K because it is only abundant in leafy green vegetables, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Other vegetables, fruits and some fats have smaller amounts.
One interesting misconception about vitamin K is that green tea is the richest food source and that drinking green tea (which we have recommended for its other valuable components) would be dangerous for people who need to control their vitamin K intake. This is only true, however, if you eat the leaves instead of brewing them into tea.
One other important fact to keep in mind is that very high doses of vitamin E (probably above the levels we recommend) can interfere with vitamin K functioning because vitamin E not only serves as an antioxidant, but also as a mild anticoagulant.
This reinforces our continuing advice that anybody who is taking any kind of supplements should inform their primary health-care provider so that possible interactions and contraindications can be taken into account.
Always tell your doctor everything you are taking.
So, what should you do if your doctor tells you to watch your vitamin K intake? After years of advising people to eat more green vegetables because of all the health-promoting substances they contain, it may be hard to figure out how to eliminate those very same foods from the diet and still get the benefit of their vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.
Fortunately, most of the good stuff in broccoli is also available in other foods that may have a lower vitamin K content. Citrus fruits can fill in the vitamin C content. Many of the carotenoids can be found in other dark green or otherwise brightly colored vegetables and fruits. Some of the so-called cancer-fighting compounds in broccoli may be harder to replace, but for individuals with known cardiovascular and atherosclerotic disease, this is a reasonable trade-off.
About a year ago we received a copy of an interesting cookbook that was written to help individuals who are taking anticoagulant drugs plan their diets in a healthy and appropriate way. It is written by Dr. Rene Desmarais, Gregory Golden and Gail Beynon and is called "The Coumadin Cookbook: A Complete Guide to Healthy Meals When Taking Coumadin." It is available from the publisher (Marsh Publishing, P.O. Box 1597, Salisbury, MD 21802-1597;  749-1989). It provides lists of foods that are low in vitamin K, is full of great recipes and gives many good suggestions for how to calculate the amount of vitamin K you ingest.
If you would like to receive a list of foods high in vitamin K, you can send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to Dale Ogar, School of Public Health, UC Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720-7360. Mark the outside of envelope "Vitamin K."


In the summer of 2009, Deborah Richmond Foulkes returned to Scotland to participate in the "Gathering of the Clans" as well as investigate some new leads on Past Lives. �Many of our clients searching for information on past lives declare their affinity for the struggles of the Scottish people,� Deborah explained. She believes from the research she did during her previous thirty-four trips to the ancient isle of the Celtic nation, that many people today had a prior lifetime among medieval knights and the ladies who loved them.
�Through years of Spirit Communication, Sir Archibald Douglas provided exact evidence through the details of his battles during the Scottish Wars for National Independence. James Douglas, Archie's older brother did the same as he validated two lifetimes in Scotland, one as the Good Sir James of Douglas and the other as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,� Dr. Foulkes told her class. Deborah determined that a visit to Scotland during the Gathering was important to her as many people drawn there were not only celebrating the struggles of their ancestors but also in some way revisiting the sites of their own prior lifetimes and incarnations.� The Gathering in 2009 and the one to follow in 2014 offer opportunities to explore those ancient times with Spirit once again, with a different perspective than in early research trips.

Q: Django, path to template encoding I'm new to Python and Django and I'm having some trouble following the Django Tutorial
I've configured Django in the settings.py to fetch a custom template from a path. However, the name of the folder contains latin characters, so Python outputs the following Error: Non-ASCII character '\xe3' in file C:\Users\Joòo Dias....
I've tried to put #coding iso8859-1 but another similar error appears, but now saying that UTF-8 couldn't convert the character.
The error occurs on the TEMPLATE_DIRS definition
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".
    # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
    # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
    'C:/Users/João Dias/PythonProjects/test27/templates'
)

Any idea on how can I solve this?? Thank you!

A: When you write non-ASCII string literals in source files, you need to set the literal encoding in the # coding comment. If your file is in thr UTF8 encoding you need to write # coding: utf-8, not #coding iso8859-1.

A: Turns out that I was using #coding UTF-8 comment but, switching to #encoding UTF-8 seems to solve the problem

Zepparella & Gretchen Menn Trio - Sweetwater Music Hall - 3/22/19
Rock and roll, it's good for the soul, as they say and I wholeheartedly support that statement as the truth. There is a fabulous feeling of having shredding guitars and thumping bass lines push all the crazy out of your head, like therapy but cheaper and way more efficient than Prozac, that's for sure. So with that in mind, I enter into Mill Valley's famed Sweetwater Music Hall so I could subject myself and my internal demons to the ultimate therapeutic process of a double bill of killer rock in roll with the ladies of Zepparella and the opening act of Gretchen Menn Trio, the Zepparella guitarist's newest personal music venture.
Gretchen Menn is a mad woman on guitar. Her beauty is remarkable, like a porcelain doll that kills it with a six string electric and a cello bow. Her new trio, with bassist Anna Pfeiffer and drummer Tom Perry, is all instrumental, walking the line between heavy metal and classical guitar styles; it's a dirty and elegant mix as only Menn can make it. There is such a charge with her music, pulsing, raging and completely hard-driving. Menn showcased original songs from her many solo-venture albums, including the aggressive, heavy metal vibe of "Scrap Metal" and "Oleo Strut" to the slow and gentle songs "Bures-sur-Yvette" and a cover of "Irish Eyes".
Then there is Zepparella, those beautiful ladies in white, busting out all the Led Zeppelin you could ever want and need. The band pays tribute to Led Zeppelin without trying to be like them, as there is no need. They do things their own way as they uphold the Led Zeppelin songbook with dignity, poise and pure female power. This band has been around for a long time, rocking hard with a pure magnetism not unlike the original Led Zeppelin. Lead singer and harmonica player Anna Kristina, who once again adds her voice to the music, struts, dances and seduces you with her prowess just like Robert Plant. Gretchen Menn comes back to her guitar and does Jimmy Page justice with pure, melodic shred while bassist Holly West and drummer Clementine bust out the backbeat like a heartbeat. Zepparella creates a mood and dynamic that plays out like wildfire. The band covered such Zep favorites as "Lemon Song", "Bring It On Home", "Daze & Confused" as well as "The Ocean" and "Night Flight".
As I have stated, like, a million times before, music is medicine, and a great night of hard-driving rock and roll was just the dose of "happy' many of us needed
Queensrÿche - Slim's -3/29/19
Rewind: 1984. I was a teenaged metalhead living in Seattle when the heavy, progressive, hard rockers Queensrÿche first entered into my listening sphere. The releases of their epic and hard-driving "Queen Of The Reich" and "Take Hold Of The Flame" were part of a perfect soundtrack to my teen angst, with shredding guitars, ass-whooping baselines and tons of screaming vocals. I was a fan of the band up until the 90's, but then life and other musical adventures took me to places unknown and Queensrÿch disappeared from my radar.
Fast forward: 2019. "What? Queensrÿche still tours? They have been pumping out album after album after album since my initial induction into their musical world? WOW! No Way!" I think. And yet here they are, on tour with a sold-out pit stop at Slim's in San Francisco with most of the founding members alive and kicking, and they are still making seriously awesome metal.
Milk For The Angry: Extraterrestrial Desert
It's refreshing to hear music that is simultaneously new and familiar, where the genres meld together to form a seamless blanket of sound that can take you on journeys within your mind. San Francisco based indie-rock band Milk For The Angry has created just that kind of vibe with their newly released album Extraterrestrial Desert.
Milk For The Angry, singer/guitarist Dana Lindström, drummer Cole Bailey and bassist Kyle Stringer are focused and driven young men, creating a pile of songs that embody a feeling of 60's surf rock mixed with spacey 80's pop and flavored with a modern edge of hard-driving rock. The band self-funded their latest release, creating an album that is wholly theirs, with lyrical content that is poetic yet yearns for deeper meaning.
"The recording of this album was actually very cozy because we worked from the ground up with our good friend and musical merman Christopher Daddio (who also lended his keys and vocal chops to a few tracks) at his home studio," says Dana Lindström. "We had the comforts of a loving home and were getting the best results we have ever had so we couldn't ask for more. This will be our second full-length album and we're excited about the direction that we are going; still maintaining our heavier psyched-out roots but getting into some spacier, soft tunes as well. We all have backgrounds in heavier music and we all see eye to eye in wanting a sound that is heavy but doesn't come off as "tough guy" or "scary." We want to keep it fun and positive because that's what we're craving more of in life and it's a direct correlation."

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found at low levels in air, water and soil. It is absorbed by plants as they grow, meaning that it is present in many of the foods we eat. Our bodies are designed to handle this level of exposure, which raises the question: Should we be concerned about arsenic in the foods we eat?
Unfortunately, humans have made it common practice to use pesticides and fertilizers packed with arsenic on the food crops we eat. There are two types of arsenic: organic and inorganic. Long-term exposure to either can cause health problems, but inorganic arsenic is considered to be the more dangerous of the two.
It is this poisonous, inorganic form of arsenic that is added to pesticides and fertilizers, and which is showing up at increasingly dangerous levels in our foods. Scientists are particularly concerned about the levels of arsenic found in rice, the staple food of more than half of our planet's population. (Related: Are you slowly poisoning yourself with… rice?)
Why rice has become so contaminated
Many health-conscious consumers make a point of purchasing what they consider to be the healthiest rice: whole grain brown rice – a rich source of fiber and essential nutrients like manganese, selenium and magnesium.
And, as reported by Food Revolution Network, rice is a symbol of everything from wealth to fertility in certain Asian lands.
It is also routinely recommended as part of the BRAT diet, which consists of bananas, rice, applesauce and toast, and which is often prescribed for people with stomach conditions.
Is it okay to look at these potential benefits of rice and ignore the presence of dangerous levels of inorganic arsenic? Surely people have been eating rice for thousands of years without getting sick?
100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety. A multitude of uses, from stress reduction to topical first aid. See the complete listing here, and help support this news site.
Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. The rice we eat today is not the same as that which our ancestors enjoyed. Food Revolution Network explains:
When arsenic is in the soil, all plants will absorb some of it. But rice is different.
Because it's grown under flooded conditions (where irrigation water is often contaminated with arsenic), rice absorbs more arsenic than other food crops.
Arsenic-based pesticides were heavily used on crops for decades. And inorganic arsenic can persist in the soil indefinitely.
Even if farmland has been growing organic food for decades, if it was ever exposed to arsenic-contaminated pesticides, these toxins may still persist in the soil today.
Inorganic arsenic compounds and most arsenic-based pesticides have now been banned in agriculture in the U.S. But some may still reach Americans by way of other countries. [Emphasis added]
So, whether we eat rice imported from other countries or that grown in the United States, the chances are good that it has been grown in soil that is permanently contaminated with arsenic. This explains the findings of a Consumer Reports study which found significant levels of arsenic in virtually all 223 samples of brown, white, jasmine, basmati and other types of rice tested.
Why we should be concerned
Studies have found that frequent exposure to even small amounts of inorganic arsenic can cause health problems, including headaches, fatigue, stomach pain, diarrhea and confusion.
Exposure to higher doses of this type of arsenic can cause even more serious health conditions, including dementia, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, neurological problems and skin conditions. It is also a known human carcinogen.
Fortunately, most forms of arsenic do not linger in the body and can generally be eliminated within a few days. It may be time to switch to rice grown in soil that has never been contaminated with arsenic or to cut it out of your family's diet completely. At the very least, it would be good to consider limiting its consumption.

An important way they do this is to promote or protect those institutions that enable them to realise their interests. This process reduces the state to the role of security guard, labour relations manager or exporter of raw materials. Norms and values are viewed as key aspects of what makes a community, where institutions develop to govern the behaviour of community members.
He then presents a strong case for community involvement as the most important actors in natural resource management: On such occasions they engage in collective action on the basis of common interests.
Implicit in these arguments is the separation of the state from the society: Social Sciences Detailed field: A major attraction of this perspective goes back to the counter arguments from the common property theorists against the tragedy of the commons thesis. Livelihood strategies do not conform to the geographical boundaries that maps might denote.
Positing communities as small and specifically located in a particular space implies defined boundaries. In Southern Africa, in general male migration into the labour centres has been a common practice as early as the last working out before doing homework of the 19th century Van Onselen, Is the community isolated from the regional, national and international processes that influence other developments within the state?
This section has discussed the various analytical threads that inform dissertation lautonomie originelle du droit administratif understanding of policy processes and outcomes in CBNRM.
It is assumed that inhabitants of these communities depend on natural resources for the large part of their survival. An important way they do this is to promote or protect those institutions that enable them to realise their interests.
Below, we will discuss some of the criticisms against this concept of community to show that CBNRM is a product of certain political imperatives other than the imagined qualities of communities. A central argument in this study is that, an examination of actors involved in policy making and implementation, than the policy itself, points to the form policy outcomes will take.
Allusion to private property, therefore, is used to convey a picture of a community that is conscious of and has an interest in seeing to it that only legitimate members of the community benefit from the use of the resources. Local groups to these advocates were said to be were rule bound communities malleable into robust resource management institutions Chambers and McBeth, ; Li, Either the resources are partitioned to individual owners or the state assumes control over those resources held in common.
In most cases, both actors depend on one another for the promotion of their interests.
This study seeks to show that community-based NRM is shrouded in the rhetoric of a homogenous community as a major variable in these programmes. This is due to typical characterisations of the African state that include: A major assumption of such programmes is that of a self-contained community.
Mandondo studied the use of non-timber forest products, among villages with clearly defined boundaries and resource sites in Eastern Zimbabwe. Members of this community differ in their priorities when they encounter new problems. This study shows that a wider political and institutional context underpins these changes.
Such a view erroneously conflates the colonial and postcolonial states. They have greater interest in the health and integrity of the environment than any outside parties for their very existence and way of life are at stake. Using cases from Zimbabwe and Botswana, this study brings together these analytical threads to argue that CBNRM outcomes, in the long term are path dependent. Do external interests share the same vision of the role of the community?
Groups sharing the same ethnicity and language occasionally pursue different and conflicting survival strategies that have no reference to these two primordial forms of organisation.
A key element of dissertation lautonomie originelle du droit administratif tragedy of the commons thesis is that natural resources, particularly key species, were at the risk of depletion from human activity. The critique of the community concept leads to the development of a conceptual framework that emphasises the need to analyse the different actors involved in Dissertation lautonomie originelle du droit administratif reveal path dependence in choices and outcomes of contests.
A consequence of this process has been increased dissertation lautonomie originelle du droit administratif among the households; a reflection of different investment strategies and different access to incomes Cheater, ; Amin, ; Maast, ; Scoones and Wilson, In this paper, we wish to argue that these agents when making choices do not conform to a Weberian rationality but are influenced by norms and values developed from their experiences; in other words, there is path dependency in their practices.
A community can exist on the basis of a particular interest but this is fickle. Other critics of the concept of community argue that in some cases community, as some specific territory actually makes resource management difficult, for example water sheds, lakes and wildlife Agrawal and Gibson, ; Campbell, State intrusion has weakened community based resource management arrangements that are a hedge against natural resource degradation.
We now turn to the Zimbabwean and Botswana case.
Consequently, these positions determine the form and practice of CBNRM, through negotiation, contests, collusions and intrigue. We find the concept of path dependence useful in understanding why the players make certain choices under circumstances Khan, ; North, CBNRM falls into the wider curriculum vitae mario abdo benitez debate on the role of the state in, particularly African development.
However, several questions emerge from such a perspective: For their part, societal actors resent sic public regulation but are sometimes willing to accept it as part of the price of access to the substantial resources, which the state controls. To illustrate this path-dependency the paper discusses community based natural resources management CBNRM programmes from Zimbabwe and Botswana.
A bleak tale of resource degradation characterised most of the countries in the south: Therefore, to talk of and most important of all, dissertation lautonomie originelle du droit administratif in terms of a community with a shared norms and slouching towards bethlehem didion essay masks the ongoing contests that characterise societies.
Such lock in is a consequence of; learning effects; that make performance more efficient, coordination effects; pursuing similar strategies to everyone else and adaptive expectations; North, In all models it is a clear majority.
Changes in natural resources management strategies in Southern Africa are not, contrary to common perceptions, revolutionary but are incremental in practice Hulme and Murphree, These mechanisms account for the preference of certain institutions over others within particular political arrangements. The lowest percentage is The above leads to further weakening of the African state; rolling back the state further reduces its capacity.
Hindess cautions us on taking interests as a mobilising force for a group.
Such a simple view of interests raises conceptual problems not least because groups that engage in collective action may yet have conflicting interests at least of some important matters. Each group has its constituency, interests and agendas Katerere, And even if one argued that the balance of use is tilted in favour of the resource-owning village, the point is that letter thesis submission community, as a geographical unit letter thesis submission not reflect practice and is therefore not useful in analysing resource management practices.
What one observes is a very diverse mixture of modern and traditional beliefs among the members of the same community.
Focussing on the community was attractive for its apparent democratising tendencies. The fact that many of their activities contribute to the impoverishment of these resources is a powerful indictment of the situation they have often been pushed into. The analysis draws upon the example of the European Parliament and suggests some key principles such as "degressive proportionality" according to which small states would get relatively more and large states relatively fewer seats.
As the study claims, the models discussed therein reveal that "these assumptions are not substantiated.
Furthermore, Agrawal and Gibson say that in some instances states, rather than the community are better managers of natural resources. This sad picture is attributed to state dominance in resource management. Ghai,p. Any realistic model needs to alleviate this imbalance. Based on working out before doing homework as analogous to cover letter vc location, one would assume that village boundaries would form the basis for resource appropriation.
Defined geographical and institutional boundaries, a membership that coalesces on common interests and norms, linguistic and ethnic homogeneity is assumed to characterise this community.
It has the potential of dividing households further, over their preferences regarding natural resources. Li says that since the term community can be mis used to achieve a certain objective, it should not be evaluated for its exactitude but for its political effects.
Allusion to private property, therefore, is used to convey a picture of a community that is conscious of and has an interest in seeing to it that only legitimate members of the community benefit from the use of the resources.
Local and supra-local actors, seek to promote their interests in intervention programmes. Prevailing donor development discourses place the local community at the nexus of democracy and good governance.
This point has also been observed in a different but related study of social movements. We will first examine the shortcomings of the community concept in explaining outcomes of planned intervention in general and specifically, to community based natural resources management.
This difference among the households is critical regarding the use of natural resources. As Bratton points out: To obviate this state ineptitude, experts especially from the North, made strong cases for the involvement of local groups in the management of natural resources.

Who Is the Voice Actor Behind Beth on 'Rick and Morty'?
by Produced by Digital Editors twitter | More Articles: Celebrity
Voice acting is a unique skill, and not everyone is able to translate the talents required to bring an animated character to life into other kinds of acting. Some stars are simply more comfortable working behind a microphone rather than in front of the cameras, and we may never get to know their faces at all. Others, however, are able to move back and forth between live-action work and voice acting with ease, providing some surprising crossovers between the different kinds of entertainment.
When it comes to the popular adult animated series Rick and Morty, there aren't that many voice actors in the mix. That's because the creators — Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon — provide many of the voices themselves and even play multiple parts within a single scene. They can't do everything, however, and the actor behind the voice of Beth should certainly sound familiar.
'Rick and Morty' premiered on Adult Swim in 2013
Rick and Morty premiered in 2013 on the late night segment of Cartoon Network known as Adult Swim. As Looper reports, Adult Swim dates back to 2001 and has long been a home for truly bizarre comedies — both live action and animated. As animated series aimed at adults have risen in popularity, Adult Swim has hosted favorites like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Robot Chicken, and The Boondocks.
Interestingly, Adult Swim functions separately from Cartoon Network and is not simply the kid-friendly network's late-night offering. Instead, Nielsen Ratings — which famously tracks television habits and ratings — considers Adult Swim a completely separate channel. Over the years, Adult Swim has helped to revive animated series that failed to take off on larger networks, giving the programming block a reputation for success and catering to a dedicated audience.
When Rick and Morty premiered in 2013, it was to the perfect audience. The show follows Rick, a genius scientist with a drinking problem, and Morty, his 14-year-old anxiety-ridden grandson. The pair travel through the "infinite universe," stirring up trouble wherever they go and providing hilarious commentary along the way.
The 'Rick and Morty' creators voice most of the characters
The cast of voice actors for Rick and Morty is not as expansive as the show's complexity might suggest. That's because the series' creators — Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon — do a lot of the voice work themselves. In fact, Justin Roiland voices both Rick and Morty as well as plenty of other side characters. Harmon, meanwhile, has lent his voice to plenty of characters on the series including Birdperson, Ice-T, Flu Hatin' Rapper, and Red Alien.
The primary voice work for the series beyond Roiland and Harmon is for the Smith family: Jerry, Summer, and Beth. Each of these characters has a dedicated actor.
Sarah Chalke provides the voice for Beth on 'Rick and Morty'
'Rick and Morty' Season 5: Dan Harmon Teases New Episodes and the Update Won't Disappoint
Those who are listening closely to Beth Smith will probably find her voice familiar. That's because the character is voiced by none other than Sarah Chalke, as Den of Geek reports.
Sarah Chalke is an actor who is perhaps best known for her long run on Scrubs as Elliot. However, she has also played the iconic role of Becky in Roseanne and had a recurring part in How I Met Your Mother. More recently, Chalke played one-half of the heartfelt duo at the center of the incredibly popular television adaptation of Firefly Lane.
Chalke's voice work as Beth on Rick and Morty may seem like a departure from the live action acting that helped her rise to fame, but it's not her only voice acting credit. Chalke has also done voice work for Paradise PD and Milo Murphy's Law.

Athru Services LLC was formed in 2012 by Michael Devlin and Karin Kuta. Named after the Irish word for "change," Athru helps clients launch and manage significant initiatives, with a special emphasis on strategic planning, communications and leadership development.
In today's fluid business environment, it is hard to precisely define the beginning or end of anything. Instead, busy executives tend to find themselves in the middle of everything. Athru helps our clients step back from the details, and begin to analyze, explore, and imagine what's possible.
Rather than take the customer/audience for granted, we encourage our clients to think anew about which customers they serve, and with which product or service. And rather than be stifled by the constraints of current organizational norms, we help clients imagine effective new ways to plan, launch and manage organizational initiatives.
Whether the initiative has an internal or an external focus, precise, timely and persuasive communications are at the heart of all effective initiatives. Athru specializes in the creation and implementation of communication plans that ensure the buy-in of all critical stakeholders. We do that by relentlessly and creatively conveying the value and purpose of the initiative, thereby increasing the energy with which it is received, and the likelihood of its long-term sustainability.
At Athru, we are not interested in just the strategic aspect of change management. Because we believe that without superb execution, even the best strategy is likely to come undone. So, we become the external project managers - the conscience of the initiative. We work very hard to keep every project tightly on track, building consensus, driving decisions, setting and meeting deadlines. And we try to do all this with humor and charm so that we are always a welcome sight for our clients!

UNOHCHR: Parties to the Conflict Commit Human Rights Abuses with Impunity in Yemen
The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published a report on the situation of human rights in Yemen. The report enumerates the violations of international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law committed by all parties to the conflict in Yemen since September 2014, when the Houthi-Saleh coup against the legitimate government began. Civilians face indiscriminate and targeted military attacks, arbitrary and illegal arrest and detention, restricted access to humanitarian aid, and a devastating blockade that smothers the economy. Furthermore, violators throughout Yemen are committing such offenses with total impunity.

The Role of Women in Yemen's War
Saferworld, along with the Center for Applied Research in Partnership with the Orient (CARPO) and the Yemen Polling Center (YPC), has released a report analyzing how the conflict in Yemen affects the lives of the country's women. It finds that although the war brings great insecurity about livelihoods and security, many women feel empowered by their new roles in war efforts or peacebuilding, such as first aid, child protection, and psychosocial support. Despite restrictions and anxieties, Yemeni women have made important contributions to civil society. The report recommends that the international community support these women-led initiatives financially and institutionally.

UN Relief Chief and Mwatana Chair address UNSC meeting on Yemen
Stephen O'Brien, the United Nations Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, delivered a statement to the United Nations Security Council during last Tuesday's Council meeting on Yemen. O'Brien spoke of the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen, warning that the situation there had become the world's largest food security crisis and that lack of access to food and clean water created the conditions for the cholera epidemic. While he lauded the United Nations and its partners, along with medical personnel in Yemen, for their work to stem the spread of cholera and other diseases, he criticized the parties to the conflict for putting their own interests above the needs of the Yemeni people, explaining that both lack of access to food and disease are, in the case of Yemen, man-made phenomena that could be avoided if the parties were willing to negotiate an end the conflict.

July 14–20: Resistance consolidates gains in Aden
Editor's note: I'm filling in for Mohammed Ali Kalfood on this week's press review. Mohammed will return next week. Since launching a major counteroffensive against pro-Houthi/Saleh forces last week, resistance forces in Aden have swept down from the city's northern areas into the districts of Sirah/Crater, al-Ma'ala, and al-Tawahi. As of Monday evening, local sources report that the resistance has control of al-Tawahi--the last district held by Houthi/Saleh forces--and is conducting house-to-house searches for remaining enemy fighters.
In retaliation for the loss of Aden, Houthi/Saleh forces outside the city limits have been shelling the neighborhood of Dar Sa'd since Sunday. According to Medicins Sans Frontieres, at least 100 people--mostly civilians, including women and children--have died in the bombardment, with hundreds more injured.
The transportation minister of Yemen's government in exile told press on Monday that a technical team from the UAE had arrived in Aden to repair the city's international airport. Right now San'a has the only functioning airport in the country, making it impossible for aid groups to bring supplies into the south by air.
On Thursday, a group of ministers from the exiled government of President Hadi arrived in Aden, escorted by Saudi security forces. The ministers reportedly met with resistance leaders. Following those meetings, President Hadi announced the appointment of Aden's new governor, former deputy governor Nayef al-Bakri, who recently has served as the head of a body representing several resistance groups.
On Sunday, a Saudi airstrike killed 24 civilians in Ibb, and set off secondary explosions that wounded many more.
The UN's refugee agency reported last week that more than 10,000 refugees have arrived in Yemen from east Africa since March. Smugglers are apparently telling refugees that the war in Yemen is over in order to profit from their transport. According to UNHCR, the total number of Yemenis displaced inside the country or seeking refuge abroad is now 1,267,590.

Making a difference for displaced women and families [Updated]
If you follow the YPP on Twitter or Facebook, you've probably seen me mention the House of Light Foundation recently. House of Light is a local organization based in Aden; we've worked with HoL's founders, Sahar and Alaa, on a few projects over the years. Right now we're helping them raise money to provide clean clothes and hygiene products to Adeni women who, along with their families, have been displaced from their homes by the fierce fighting and airstrikes in and around Aden. Thanks to several generous donors in the US and Europe, we've been able to send $2,000 to HoL so far. They've raised even more from local donors, enough to provide aid packages to 200 women. To thank everyone who has donated to HoL via our campaign page so far, and to encourage others to give, I want to share some photos that Sahar just sent me from Aden. In these you can see some of the colorful dresses that Sahar's grandmother has sewn (she makes kid-sized dresses with the fabric remnants), along with the soap and sanitary pads that are also included in each aid package. For House of Light, this campaign is a family affair; below you can see Sahar's mother and young cousin helping to prepare packages for the second group of 100 displaced women.
We're proud to help House of Light make a difference in the lives of displaced women and their families, and it's exciting to see the first 100 aid packages head out the door. But we're only starting to scrape the surface. With your gift, we can help our friends at House of Light do much more. Read more about this campaign here.

Urgent appeal for Abyan
The plight of the people of Abyan Governorate, which lies along the southern coast of Yemen north-east of 'Aden, has been under-reported of late. In May the US media leaped at the story that al-Qa'idah fighters had captured the provincial capital of Zinjibar, because the US media will print anything that has to do with al-Qa'idah. But save an excellent piece last week in the LA Times, coverage of the growing humanitarian crisis in Abyan has been almost non-existant. I don't blame the press, or anyone else, really, for this oversight. It's very, very difficult to get reliable information from San'a and Ta'iz--Yemen's most accessible cities--these days, even for those of us who spend most of our time trying to do exactly that. Aden and Abyan haven't seen a foreign journalist since February, as far as I know, and have much lower internet penetration than those other parts of the country. It's no one's fault that we can't get up-to-the minute news about the thousands of people fleeing ongoing fighting between militants and security forces in Abyan. But thanks to the work of dedicated Yemeni activists, we do have some concrete information, and now that we have it, we have to do something about it.
We know this:
Low-intensity warfare continues, not just in Zinjibar but throughout Abyan. Casualties can't be counted; more horrifying, casualties can't even be collected. The sparse reports that get out say that bodies are lying in the streets, feeding the ubiquitous southern crows. Amateur footage that I'm not going to link to here shows the bodies of soldiers, charred and obliterated, beside the blackened wrecks of armored vehicles. Civilian casualties, and those of the anti-government militants, are certainly more extensive.
At least 30,000 civilians have fled Abyan for Lahj and 'Aden. Many have been taken in by friends and relatives; others are squatting or camping out on the road.
At least one formal IDP camp has been established in Khormaksar District, 'Aden. YPP is in touch with a well-known activist and volunteer in 'Aden, who has personally visited the camp and transmitted to us a camp census and list of needs.
The Khormaksar camp holds at present 1,342 people, of which 124 are under the age of three and 441 are under the age of fifteen.
Our contact in 'Aden, who heads a foundation called House of Light, is prepared to begin purchasing supplies from a list given him by the camp managers. Items include basic foodstuffs, diapers, clothes, and medicines. We at YPP have pledged our support to House of Light for this purpose. We are calling on all of our friends and readers to help us fund the operations of the Khormaksar camp by sending donations to YPP or shopping at our Revolution Webstore (all proceeds go directly to Yemen).
We will provide updates and further details on the situation in Abyan as they become available.
One final note: official US policy has always been to support the Saleh regime's violent repression of all protest movements in the south, as these might possibly be aligned with AQAP. As the current violence in Abyan is directly linked to AQAP, we can expect the United States to be absolutely silent, even on the humanitarian dimension. Go ahead, Secretary Clinton, prove me wrong.
