  • Emperor and Empress Greet Huge Crowds at Tokyo Enthronement Parade
    Emperor and empress greet huge crowds at Tokyo enthronement parade japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/11/10/national/emperor-empress-parade-enthronement Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako waved and smiled from an open car in Sunday’s motorcade which passed through central Tokyo, marking his enthronement before about 120,000 delighted well-wishers who cheered, waved small flags and took photos from both sides of packed sidewalks. Security was extremely tight with police setting up 40 checkpoints leading to the route. Selfie sticks, bottles and banners — and even shouting — were not allowed inside the restricted zone. Residents in high-rise apartments along the road were advised not to look down from their windows or balconies. Naruhito succeeded his father, Emperor Emeritus Akihito, on May 1 following his abdication the day before, and formally ascended the Chrysanthemum Throne in a palace ceremony last month. The parade started from the Imperial Palace at 3 p.m. with the national anthem, “Kimigayo,” being played by a marching band. Naruhito, wearing a tail coat decorated with medals and carrying a brimmed hat, and Masako, in an off-white long dress and wearing a tiara, kept waving from a Toyota Century convertible. The car was decorated with the imperial chrysanthemum emblems and the emperor’s flag during the half-hour motorcade on the 4.6-kilometer-long (3-mile- long) route from the palace to the Akasaka imperial residence in the warm autumn afternoon sun. Naruhito, sitting on the right side on the slightly raised backseat, constantly turned his head to the right and left, responding to people cheering from the opposite side of the street as the motorcade slowly moved at a jogger’s speed.

  • 2020 Commencement Program.Pdf
    Commencement MAY 2020 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: This is an occasion of profoundly mixed emotions for all of us. On one hand, there is the pride, excitement, and immeasurable hope that come with the culmination of years of effort and success at the University of Connecticut. But on the other hand, there is the recognition that this year is different. For the first time since 1914, the University of Connecticut is conferring its graduate and undergraduate degrees without our traditional ceremonies. It is my sincere hope that you see this moment as an opportunity rather than a misfortune. As the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus observed, “Difficulties show us who we are.” This year our University, our state, our nation, and indeed our world have faced unprecedented difficulties. And now, as you go onward to the next stage of your journey, you have the opportunity to show what you have become in your time at UConn. Remember that the purpose of higher education is not confined to academic achievement; it is also intended to draw from within those essential qualities that make each of us an engaged, fully-formed individual – and a good citizen. There is no higher title that can be conferred in this world, and I know each of you will exemplify it, every day. This is truly a special class that will go on to achieve great things. Among your classmates are the University’s first Rhodes Scholar, the largest number of Goldwater scholars in our history, and outstanding student leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice to mental health.

  • The Dominant Anopheles Vectors of Human Malaria in the Asia-Pacific
    Sinka et al. Parasites & Vectors 2011, 4:89 http://www.parasitesandvectors.com/content/4/1/89 RESEARCH Open Access The dominant Anopheles vectors of human malaria in the Asia-Pacific region: occurrence data, distribution maps and bionomic précis Marianne E Sinka1*, Michael J Bangs2, Sylvie Manguin3, Theeraphap Chareonviriyaphap4, Anand P Patil1, William H Temperley1, Peter W Gething1, Iqbal RF Elyazar5, Caroline W Kabaria6, Ralph E Harbach7 and Simon I Hay1,6* Abstract Background: The final article in a series of three publications examining the global distribution of 41 dominant vector species (DVS) of malaria is presented here. The first publication examined the DVS from the Americas, with the second covering those species present in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. Here we discuss the 19 DVS of the Asian-Pacific region. This region experiences a high diversity of vector species, many occurring sympatrically, which, combined with the occurrence of a high number of species complexes and suspected species complexes, and behavioural plasticity of many of these major vectors, adds a level of entomological complexity not comparable elsewhere globally. To try and untangle the intricacy of the vectors of this region and to increase the effectiveness of vector control interventions, an understanding of the contemporary distribution of each species, combined with a synthesis of the current knowledge of their behaviour and ecology is needed. Results: Expert opinion (EO) range maps, created with the most up-to-date expert knowledge of each DVS distribution, were combined with a contemporary database of occurrence data and a suite of open access, environmental and climatic variables.
