When arts organizations are exiled from their homes, how can theatre practices grow roots over the long term? There is a repeated pattern of theatre companies losing their space—most often owing to reasons beyond their control. This loss is significant, but it is part of an unfortunately predictable cycle. This article asks what artists can do to help sustain artistic practice and the cultural life of our cities and spaces. It turns to creative placemakers Clay & Paper Theatre, MABELLEarts, and Derek Kwan as sources of wisdom. It shares a list of principles gathered from the lived experience of these artists and organizations, showing us delightful, practical, and poetic solutions for sustaining the arts ecosystem. This piece concludes with an up-and-coming creative placemaking initiative in Lakeview, the Art Shelter, led by Frog in Hand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nonnative, invasive ants, and especially the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, are a widespread threat to ground‐nesting wildlife. In this paper I describe a method of controlling fire ants using hot water. The hot water approach was applied to reduce fire ant impacts on sea turtles and ground‐nesting songbirds and to demonstrate its utility in protection of different ground‐nesting species in different habitats. Fire ant controls using hot water provided 90% or greater control, significantly improving survival of both turtle and bird hatchlings, without the use of pesticides. The success of the method and the availability of necessary equipment shows that hot water control of fire ant populations should be considered as a tool for wildlife affected by fire ants and is useful for a wide variety of scenarios where fire ant controls are desirable or necessary. The method does require that 1) wildlife nest locations are known and that 2) nearby fire ant colonies can be found and treated with hot water. The method can be used as a complement to broadcast or bait‐station baiting strategies or as a stand‐alone method for managing fire ants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Voice Your Celebration was a public computing installation at Canada's National Music Center, which offered a re-staging of computer code as a heterotopic form of participatory theatre. In the same way that the stage and the script can stand in between the audience on one hand, and actors and creators of a play on the other, in performances involving live digital art, pre-written code can also separate the coder and creators from the interacting audience. In this paper, we illustrate how Voice Your Celebration sought to address this divide by creating opportunities for the audience to become participants in the code itself by incorporating their voices and stories as integral parts of a widely used computational algorithm (Reynolds's algorithm) for simulating flocking behaviour.

Within academia and research, publishing peer‐reviewed articles is expected for dissemination of knowledge and is used as a measure of professional performance. However, few papers have been published on professionals' and graduate students' perceptions of student publication performance, how professionals encourage student publishing, and what types of publication barriers exist for graduate students to publish. In 2019, we emailed a survey to professional and student attendees of the 2013 and 2016 North American Duck symposia as a representative cadre of waterfowl and wildlife biologists. We surveyed 469 professionals and 98 students who attended the symposia. Response rates were 42% and 45% for professionals and students, respectively, and deemed reliable as response rates approached 50%. Fifty percent and 69% of professional respondents indicated they felt frustration motivating their Ph.D. and M.S. students to publish, respectively. Of strategies used to motivate graduate student publishing, 79% of students ranked providing congenial encouragement most effective, while 60% of professionals ranked playing a major role in drafting and editing as most effective. Both professionals and students considered lack of time during and outside work hours as barriers to publishing graduate work. Professionals and students agreed that asking students to sign a contract at time of their initial matriculation may be an effective strategy to publish. Information from this study adds to knowledge on graduate student publishing practices and can be used to improve methods to increase graduate student publication rates in wildlife science and conservation. Similar surveys can be conducted face‐to‐face or remotely at international wildlife and other ecological conferences to broaden application of our results. We encourage students to generate publications from their research by writing separate thesis/dissertation chapters to expedite the publication process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The grain supply chain is a complex network of various stakeholders, processes, and process-related in- formation. The supply chain includes various stakeholders such as commodity producer (farmer), handler (warehouse), carrier (logistic units- trucks, railcars), processor (food or feed manufacturing unit), and distributor. Business management tools such as Lean Practices are potential methodologies that provide an efficient framework for application of traceability in the supply chain. Lean Practices such as the Deming cycle is a quality management strategy. The Deming cycle is a continuous process that aims to resolve errors in the supply chain. In general, the Deming cycle consists of four phases- (1) Plan; (ii) Do; (iii) Check; (iv) Act. In this study the Deming cycle is modified into five phases to create a Lean traceable framework. The five phases of the modified Deming cycle are- (i) Plan- identify the traceability objectives; (ii) Do- list processes in the supply chain; (iii) Check- Check for any errors and its impact in the supply chain; (iv) Act-find solutions to- wards eliminating errors; (v) Control-establishing protocol for monitoring the implementation of solutions. Both traceability and lean practices attempt to improve existing processes through identifying sources of errors and developing standard protocols. In addition, Deming cycle provides a common language for all sup- ply chain participants to express process performance. This paper establishes a framework for improving processes using both lean principles and concepts of traceability in the supply chain. Also, this study aims to determine appropriate tools and techniques that assist in meeting requirements of a traceability system in the bulk grain supply chain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Traceability events involved in any grain supply chain includes storage, handling, transformation, and movement within and across multiple supply chain participants. Traceability events includes both internal and external operations in a supply chain. This paper demonstrates, an approach to identify critical traceability events and key data elements (KDE). Developing a traceability system for Bay State Milling's speciality wheat supply chain includes consideration of various events and transition points through the supply chain. Many wheat varieties are stored, handled, transformed, and moved within and across the wheat supply chain, which makes it difficult to record attributes for various events. This paper examines, a system modelling design approach used to implement traceability through identifying critical traceability event (CTE) and recording key data elements (KDE) for each CTE. Key data elements are listed for each CTE, as mandatory documentation to meet traceability requirements. The model uses the information from the CTE and KDE for each supply chain stakeholder, recording mandatory documentation for each CTE required for traceability in the speciality wheat supply chain. The developed model shows the nature of interactions among supply chain participants and assigns a specific owner to information recorded. The model is transferrable to many software languages such as XML, which facilitates easy convertibility to a software program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The green anole (Anolis carolinensis) has been introduced to the Ogasawara Islands, Japan, and has adversely affected native fauna through predation and competition. To eradicate green anoles, adhesive traps for capture and Teflon™‐sheet fencing to restrict movement have been used, however, their efficiency needs to be improved. Using behavioral experiments, we evaluated colors that would attract green anoles to traps and repel them from fences. We also conducted similar experiments on the native snake‐eyed skink (Cryptoblepharus nigropunctatus) to establish color preferences in an effort to reduce bycatch. We presented choices of 2 out of 6 colored papers (blue, brown, green, purple, red, yellow) to green anoles and 3 colored papers (blue, brown, red) to snake‐eyed skinks to observe which color of paper the animals walked on first. Both species chose blue significantly less often than the other colors (blue was chosen only in 29% of runs). Green anoles demonstrated a preference for brown, whereas snake‐eyed skinks favored red. Our results suggested that using blue Teflon™‐sheet fence might reduce the transborder crossing rate of green anoles. Furthermore, bycatch of native snake‐eyed skinks may be reduced by changing the adhesive trap color to brown, from the currently used red. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

POST-World War II Period , *COMMUNITY development , *EDUCATION , *SOCIAL policy - Abstract
In the post-WWII period, the claims over the savoirdévelopper were numerous, coming from diverse ideological and institutional origins, and dealing with multiple topics, from rural welfare to community development, from education to health and labour. Many were the competing arguments and plans to intervene about those topics in various geographic spaces. Among the international actors participating in the promotion of a developmentalist agenda with global impacts, two interimperial organizations were particularly active, sometimes cooperating, sometimes rivalling with the specialized agencies of the United Nations system: The International Institute of Differing Civilizations (INCIDI, 1949) and the Commission for Technical Co-operation in Africa South of the Sahara (CCTA, 1950). Associated to projects of imperial and colonial resilience in contexts characterized by mounting anti-colonial pressures, both organisations contributed to the growing internationalization of social policies, gathering numerous experts in various conferences, in Europe and in Africa, promoting the production and transfer of original knowledge, publishing diverse reports and enquiries with considerable reach, and even sponsoring specific interventions on the ground. These dynamics were meaningfully, and frequently, shaped by disputes about the motivations and applications of social policies that occurred at the imperial metropoles. This paper addresses these two institution’s roles in the internationalization of social policies, analysing some of their major meetings, key publications, and significant projects, taking the topics of education, ‘social’ and ‘rural welfare’ and, mostly, labour as main observatories.

ABSTRACT Greater sage-grouse ( Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) are highly susceptible to infection with West Nile virus (WNV), with substantial mortality reported in wild populations and in experimentally infected birds. Although sage-grouse are hunted throughout much of their range, they have also recently been considered for protection under the Endangered Species Act. We used blood samples collected on filter-paper strips during the 2006-2010 Oregon, USA, annual sage-grouse hunt to survey for specific WNV-neutralizing antibodies that indicate a previous infection with WNV. During this period, hunters submitted 1,880 blood samples from sage-grouse they harvested. Samples obtained were proportional for all 12 Oregon sage-grouse hunting units. Laboratory testing of 1,839 samples by the WNV epitope-blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (bELISA) followed by plaque reduction neutralization test on bELISA-positive samples yielded 19 (1%) and 1 (0.05%) positive samples, respectively. These data provided early baseline information for future comparisons regarding the prevalence of WNV-specific neutralizing antibodies in sage-grouse in Oregon. This methodology may provide other states where sage-grouse (or other species) populations are hunted and where WNV constitutes a species conservation concern with a viable option to track the relative prevalence of the virus in populations. © 2014 The Wildlife Society.

- Abstract
This paper aims at demonstrating the methodological and epistemological added value of secondary analysis of qualitative data (SAQD) in political science research on defence issues. Although mainly under-used, the SAQD is of convincing interest for researchers working on defence issues, as the collection of first-hand qualitative data can be complex on this type of research topics. Starting with an epistemological and methodological reflection on the SAQD’s method itself, the article proposes an application of this approach to political science research on defence issues. It also highlights, in a reflexive manner, the inevitable challenges and pitfalls to be taken into account and proposes a reflexive use of SAQD as well as perspectives particularly on the issue of storing the primary qualitative data.

The article focuses on the activity programs in education that could lead to deep progress and counter the short term goals and quick delivery that seem to lead to whole terms of revision and no long-term learning. The activity program mentioned in the article is about inequality sign in mathematics. A lot of time was spent on the activity with the students, discussing the number line, the set of solutions and the boundary. Before moving to the idea of solution, there were plenty of opportunities to work on substitution. What students need is to have a depth of understanding of the work, so that they do not spend all their time rehearsing the examination question without anything to hang their learning on.

African Swine Fever (ASF) is an economically important reemerging infectious disease (EID) that has spread phenomenally throughout the world. Although it does not pose direct health risks to humans, the disease can cause devastating losses in livestock production due to its almost 100% mortality rate in domestic pig populations. Trade and commerce has caused the virus to travel to different parts of the globe, infecting domestic and wild pigs in Europe and China. The recent outbreak has affected the Philippines, affecting food security and the economy. The disease is also a looming danger to the future of the Philippines four endemic pig species, a number of which are threatened with extinction. This paper reports a case of a mass dieoff of an IUCN vulnerable Philippine warty pig (Sus philippensis) population in a privatelymanaged forest patch in Tagum City, Mindanao, Philippines. Tissue samples were collected, and were sent to the Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory XII (RADDLXII) tested positive for ASFV using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). This is the first report of ASF affecting a wild pig population in the Philippines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

42. Attitudes Towards a Transient Carnivore Prior to Recolonization.

Olson, Erik R., Goethlich, Jamie, and Goudos‐Weisbecker, Brittany
- Abstract
Cougars (Puma concolor) have been recolonizing portions of their historic range over the last few decades and are currently a rare, transient species in the western Great Lakes Region. Anticipatory attitude surveys can identify potential management challenges, stakeholder groups, and conservation and educational priorities for recolonizing cougars. We implemented an anticipatory attitude survey to better understand attitudes towards transient cougars in northern Wisconsin, USA. We distributed the survey in fall and early winter of 2014–15 (n = 423) and 2015–16 (n = 594). We compared attitudes towards transient cougars to attitudes towards other established large carnivores and white‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). We also explored factors that may affect human attitudes towards cougars, such as hunter identity, livestock ownership, risk perception, and the loss of a domestic animal to wildlife. Despite the rare, transient status of cougars in Wisconsin, many respondents (mean of 29%) reported to have observed a cougar or sign of one in the wild in Wisconsin. Cougars had a mean favorability score similar to coyotes (Canis latrans) and wolves (Canis lupus) and less than bobcats (Lynx rufus), bear (Ursus americanus), and white‐tailed deer. Comparatively, respondents' risk perception for all categories of risk (i.e., fear for personal safety, the safety of children, and the safety of domestic animals) was higher for cougars than for wolves. Hunter identity and loss of livestock to wildlife were determined by multinomial logistic regression as the most important parameters affecting respondents' favorability towards cougars (ωi = 0.71). Using the 2015–2016 survey data, we found that as cougar risk perception increased, favorability towards cougars decreased similarly for both hunters and non‐hunters. Hunters were less likely to be favorable towards cougars, more likely to be neutral, and equally likely to be unfavorable towards cougars compared to nonhunters. We identify potential management challenges, stakeholder groups (e.g., hunters and those who have experienced loss of livestock to wildlife), and conservation and educational priorities for recolonizing cougars. © 2021 The Wildlife Society. As cougars recolonize portions of their former range, understanding what influences attitudes towards this large carnivore is a critical step in guiding their conservation. Using anticipatory attitude surveys, this paper provides insights into the factors that shape attitudes towards transient cougars prior to recolonization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

While researching background material for Our Kind of Work (Thistledown 2011), a book about the first decade of Saskatoon's Twenty-fifth Street Theatre, I found myself re-thinking long held assumptions about the theatre company and the theatre community in Saskatchewan. My expectation was that the theatre company had an amicable relationship with the Saskatchewan Arts Board through the company's early years. Twenty-fifth Street Theatre was, after all, the only professional theatre company in the province dedicated to producing Canadian plays, and the Arts Board was there to foster the growth of Saskatchewan's artistic scene. The relationship between the theatre company and the Arts Board was less than friendly, however, as is shown in several archival documents. I also assumed that the fledgling theatre company would find an ally in the local newspaper The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, but the relationship was again unfriendly. Animosity between the theatre company and the newspaper culminated in a tense letter to a local reviewer which called for a public debate on the merits of one of the theatre company's productions. My archival research, performed in the Twenty-fifth Street Theatre Collection at the University of Saskatchewan Archives, taught me that my knowledge of the theatre's inner workings and of its relationships with other entities was far from complete.

FOOD tourism - Abstract
This paper explores recent trends in culinary representations in British television, and global food biographies, going back to Victorian or Edwardian Raj, i.e., the popular imperial television saga, Downton Abbey (2010-15), and two histories on the Curry, by Lizzie Collingham (2006) and Colleen Taylor Sen (2008). Just as Bengali or other subregional specializations in Indian cuisines could not entirely disavow nineteenth-century European influences, the British too could not entirely retreat from their culinary miscegenation, which they later sought to refine and reify into their own culture, in a brand of food described herein as currigatawny. While historians like Susan Zlotnick, Sharmila Sen, Modhumita Roy, and others contend that British imperial politics was closely linked to the domain of food, Collingham and this paper argue that the culinary domain was not consequential but indeed fundamental to British imperialism. In doing so, the paper offers a travelogy of the curry, in imperial and contemporary Britain, which has recently seen the shutting down of over one thousand curry-houses, since the time of the Brexit-leave-campaign (November, 2016). The paper ends with a comparative perspective into the place of the curry in contemporary Britain, and in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars (1815) -- a phase marked by industrial revolution, growing middle-class literacy, print cultures, and a subsequent rise in the publication of Victorian cookbooks, that are beginning to be fetishized today.

LISTENING , *SOUND art , *INTERACTIVE art , *TECHNOLOGICAL innovations , *SOUND in art - Abstract
Our paper addresses the notion of listening as a method of analysis. Our reflections stem from our development of an interactive sound art piece entitled Selfie Orchestra. This work is produced with sound, image, and GPS data gleaned from audience members' cell phones. It features an interactive 3D simulation of the La Friche la Belle de Mai district in Marseille, France. We begin with a brief description of this project, highlighting our attempts to provoke expanded forms of listening through the technological innovations at the heart of the work. We then turn to a theoretical examination of listening as a method for reflection and research in the social sciences, with specific reference to Henri Lefebvre's evocative concept of 'rhythmanalysis.' We reflect briefly on John Cage's work 4'33" (1952) and Max Neuhaus's Listen (1966) as precedent artworks that make space for attentive listening. We then contrast the open-ended interactivity promoted by these works with the more constrained forms we have been developing with Selfie Orchestra. We conclude with thoughts on how Selfie Orchestra demonstrates the strengths of listening as a method of analysis when the latter is understood following its ancient Greek conception as a form of 'loosening.'

Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) populations in North America were once estimated at nearly 30 million. However, unrestricted harvest of pronghorn was one of the major factors that led to 25,000 individuals by 1924. Through rigorous management, pronghorn populations rebounded to an estimated 1 million individuals by 1984. Within Texas, USA, by the late 1980s, the pronghorn population had recovered to a new estimated historic high of 17,226 individuals through restoration efforts. However, by 2010, the Texas Trans‐Pecos population declined to approximately 4,700 individuals, and declined even further to only 2,751 in 2012. A main contribution to successful recovery has been large‐scale translocations. Since the early 1920s, >30,000 pronghorn have been translocated in 17 states. As one large restoration project in Texas, translocation of pronghorn from the Texas Panhandle to Marfa and Marathon grasslands in the Trans‐Pecos region occurred in January–February 2011, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017. However, within the available literature on pronghorn translocations, it was difficult to find a scientific paper that provides sufficient detail to guide the translocation process. Our intent is to summarize the effective methodology behind 5 years of pronghorn translocations, inform others to make evidence‐based recommendations and justifiable‐decisions when selecting translocation methodology, and provide insight regarding design and application of our translocation methodology. Based on our translocation experience, we recommend using halperidol as a sedative given to pronghorn at the site of capture and keeping handling times to ≤4 minutes as well as maintaining pronghorn body temperatures below 40° C during processing. Flunixin meglumine should be used when body temperatures exceed 40° C. In addition, we also recommend utilizing larger, more spacious livestock trailers to transport captured pronghorn versus transport boxes or smaller, more enclosed trailers. We also recommend releasing a minimum of 50–100 individuals/release site to minimize stress from group separation and improve long‐term population sustainability. © 2020 The Wildlife Society. Translocations are done as part of restoration efforts for pronghorn due to population declines. We describe and consolidate evidence from our experience to make translocation guidelines for future management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
