Hello everyone! I keep thinking how to explain my lack of everything online. There is so many things that have happened to me-words tangle as I try to choke them out. I am okay, but sad. One of our pets died and I feel the void. I do not lack words-I am scattered. Here is an attempt for Corey's challenge. Corey always makes me thinking of fishing. Why is that I wonder? Maybe because he drops his line of prompts into so many different worlds. Corey is a rig-that is a good thing and we never know what he will offer up, next!
He asked us to ask someone a family member, a kid, a neighbor for an opening line to our poem or just a word to get us underway. Thank you Corey~

Murmuring green stars hide
under winter's blanket
Reindeer moss waves
hanging on Persimmon brow
melting sea of muddy frost
pools n' puddles
like tarnished copper pennies falling into brine
Mood chimes as day sails in
with red blinking numbers
lost lambs wander in n out of day
Straggling threads of metal linger
I plant blue wishes into night sky
Digging through chill of night
tucking your indigo blanket up to my chin
I wade through sea of ghosts moths
coaxed by their singing
I fall into gurgling river
I fall into gurgling river
cold n' slow- I thaw
night light follows me on empty dark road
her fuzzy pale white gown
floats a line on horizon
moored silhouettes tangle my seaweed thoughts
lost in coastal fog
lost in coastal fog
I wait for yellow foam to rise,
soldier like i march into day.

A round shapely buttock is a sign of youth and beauty. As we age, the buttocks get smaller, more flat, and begin to droop. A flat buttock even in a young patient, makes a person look older, and less sexually attractive. Conversely: a round full buttock even in a older patient, makes the patient look younger and more sexually attractive. While African-Americans tend to have larger buttocks, Asians and Phillipinos tend to have flat, smaller buttocks. Increasingly women and men are desiring larger buttocks and buttock enhancement. Fortunately there are several ways to enhance buttock appearance, and make them more round, and/or larger.
This is a before and after case, where the patient wanted a brazilian butt and hip augmentation. For this procedure, we transferred fat to the buttocks and hips.
Dispite being very thin, we were still able to give her a much curvier, sexy hourglass shape.
There are many benefits to buttock augmentation. Larger buttocks can help balance other areas of the figure; for example, large breasts or wide shoulders or hips. Larger buttocks look sexier, and make a patients look and feel younger.*
You can see how the buttock appears larger, more lifted and most importantly, round. Many women love the curvier appearance, than a saggy or flat buttock. Patients often feel a brazilian butt lift is one of the best investments they have ever made.*
Larger buttocks look sexier, and make a patients look younger. Buttock augmentation can help lift buttocks that are sagging. Most importantly patients look and feel more attractive. Often this leads to more confidence, and improved self-esteem.*
Buttocks can be enlarged with a buttock implant or by fat transfer to the buttocks. Fat transfer to the buttocks is performed by taking fat from one area and moving it to the buttocks. People often call this a Brazilian Butt Lift. Silicone implants can also be used to enlarge the buttocks, in a fashion similar to breast augmentation. For more information of butt implants, please see the section on buttock implants in this website. Dr. Lane Smith is one of only a very few surgeons that can perform both procedures, buttock implantation and buttock fat transfer.*
Buttocks can be enlarged by using either a buttock implant or by using a persons own fat. This technically called buttock fat transfer but most people call it a Brazilian Butt Lift. A Brazilian buttock lift involves taking fat from one area and moving it to another area. This fat is obtained by performing liposuction. Technically this is called "fat transfer to the buttocks," and the buttocks are enlarged by the person's own fat. When possible it is better to use the patient's own fat to enlarge the buttocks than a buttock implant. Usually fat is taken from the flanks ("love handles,") and abdomen, and other places as needed. The main advantage is that the buttock is enlarged with a person's own fat. This means that the patient will never need another surgery. Another very big advantage is that each area we liposuction to harvest the fat is improved. This means the patient's entire figure is improved, not just the buttocks. This can result in a much sexier look, than just augmenting the buttocks alone. The major disadvantage is that the fat transfer is more variable than the buttock implants, meaning sometimes the buttock enlargement is not as large or round as was wanted. This can usually be corrected with additional liposuction and fat transfer. Another disadvantage is that in order for this to work, a patient must have enough fat to transfer. The operation will not work on very thin patients.*
The simple answer to this is no. The number and distribution of fat cells is relatively constant throughout life. This means that you don't gain any fat cells if you get fatter, simply the fat cells you have expand like balloons. Also if you lose weight, you do not lose any fat cells, they simply shrink. This means that if we move fat cells from one area, such as the waist, and place them in the buttocks, the buttocks will forever be enlarged and the waist will forever be smaller. These proportions will remain no matter what the patient's weight is. This means that after a Brazilian Butt Lift, if a patient gains weight it will go straight to the buttocks, and if the patient loses weight, the last place it will go from is the buttocks.
This procedure is usually done under general anesthesia. Fat transfer to the buttocks is done by first performing liposuction to harvest the fat. (It is helpful to read the section on liposuction located in this website.) We suction fat from the pre-determined areas; usually the flanks (waist) and abdomen, and often other areas such as the upper back, bra-line area or arms and inner thighs. After the fat has been harvested, we then spin the fat down to get pure fat. The pure fat is then injected into the buttocks through 3 small poke holes. One inside the gluteal crease ("butt crack,") and one small poke along the lower outer portion of each buttock. We always place more fat than is needed because only about half of the injected fat lives. However, we cannot place more fat than the skin will hold. What this means is that as we inject the fat, the skin will get more tight, until it becomes so tight that no more fat will fit. When this happens we have to stop injecting fat, even if the patient wants more fat or larger buttocks. After surgery the patient is placed in a special compression garment that helps hold the fat in place. Some of the injected fat will die. Most of the fat that is going to die does so in the first 2 to weeks. After about 4 to 6 weeks, whatever fat is left will be permanent. This procedure will lead to permanent enlargement of the buttocks.*
Usually the pain is quite manageable with the prescribed pain medications after buttock enhancement surgery (Brazilian Butt Lift). The pain usually subsides quite quickly after the first few days. After Brazilian butt lift, most of the pain is from the liposuctioned areas, and not very much from the fat transfer to the buttocks. Dr. Smith prefers that patients not work for at least one week, but most patients may return to work after 7 to 10 days. Also it is important to sleep prone (on your belly,) for 3 to 4 weeks after surgery, and to avoid sitting on the buttocks as much as possible for the first 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. As with every surgery, we do not want the patient to do any heavy exercise for 6 to 8 weeks after surgery. Patients may return to light exercise 4 to 5 weeks after surgery.
Buttock enhancement is becoming more popular every day. Dr. Smith performs among the most buttock enhancement surgery in the western United States. He does this surgery several times every week. Plastic Surgery is a big commitment and results vary tremendously depending on the surgeon you choose. It is nice to know that Las Vegas has one of the best cosmetic surgeons for buttock augmentation in the country.* Dr. Smith, a board-certified surgeon, is considered an expert in this surgery and his results and extensive experience speak for themselves.* Patients come from all over Las Vegas, Henderson, Nevada, California and the world to have Dr. Smith perform buttock augmentation on them.* If you are considering a buttock enhancement, the best thing to do is to schedule an appointment to see Dr. Lane Smith.
Appointments can be scheduled by calling (702) 838-2455. For patients who live far from Las Vegas, online or phone consultations are available.

The partisan divide has increased because the Republicans have become much more conservative (and the Democrats more liberal) than they were between 1933 and Reagan's victory over Jimmy Carter in 1980.He continues on to present a general overview of how the Presidents of the last fifty years illustrate this shifting.
People will scoff at the idea that the GOP post-1980 is much more conservative than before 1980, but the facts prove my case.
Fortunately, there exists an empirical method for examining this assertion. The GSS asks respondents about both their political orientations and their partisan affiliations. The following graph shows the mean political index values of white Democrats and Republicans by year. Positive values indicate conservatism and negative values indicate liberalism, with zero representing exact political moderation. One standard deviation is 1.35 index points.
Indeed, the political gap between Democrats and Republicans has trebled to become a chasm over the last few decades.
My working narrative is largely confirmed by this. With Reagan's asendancy, conservative Democrats began drifting away from the Democratic party and liberal Republicans backed away from the increasing social conservatism of the Republican party. After Reagan and the effective end of communism, the blue-blooded George HW Bush came to signify a more centrist GOP resembling what had existed before Ronnie (with the Iran-contra affair, for which Reagan's popularity suffered, playing a role in tarnishing the conservative label). In a few years, that had faltered and conservatism again came to define GOP voters with the 'Republican Revolution' of 1994. We continue on this political trajectory today.
GSS variables used: PARTYID(0-2)(5-6), POLVIEWS, YEAR, RACE(1)

My new obsession has become the beautiful carrots that you can find in the cute little bushels at your grocery store or at farmers markets. They are always so sweet and flavorful no matter how you cook them. When I see them I always buy them, I am pretty sure that I am making up for all those times that I didn't eat them as a kid- I can hear my mom saying it now "Shari eat your carrots they are good for your eyes." This recipe is so easy and so delicious, and although glazed kind of negates the nutritional value I still feel pretty good about eating them.
A bushel of carrots- cleaned and chopped
1.5 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoons of honey
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat a medium sauce pan add your butter and let it melt
Toss in your carrots and let them soften about 6 minutes
Drizzle the honey and cook for 6 more minutes moving them around frequently
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Serve them up and enjoy!

How To Control Firebrats
A relative of the silverfish, firebrats are a common indoor pest that has been on the rise in recent years. These little bugs are rarely found outdoors and would much prefer areas with high amount of moisture which they can find inside of human dwellings. Firebrats are commonly found in hot humid places like boiler rooms and around hot water heaters. They can also be found around your ceiling, in light fixtures, in sinks or bathtubs, or on countertops.
Firebrats are about ½ to 1 inch long and have long, slender, bodies that are a dark orangish gray. Firebrats will eat just about anything. Some of their favorites include: wallpaper paste, flour, starch, dried beef, gum, paper, glue, rayon, sugar, cotton, linen, silk, breakfast cereal, and mold. Inside the home, the eating habits of firebrats can cause some frustrating damage. Firebrats will eat into wallpaper, book bindings, paper goods and some dry food. Firebrats can also damage articles of clothing by eating holes into fabrics such as linen, cotton, and silk.

B&G Lo Line Insect Trap$14.75Pheromone Attractant - German Roach Trap
D-Fense Dust$13.94Waterproof insecticide dust
If you have come down with a firebrat infestation, then you need to take steps to tackle the issue before it gets out of hand. Here are Solutions Pest and Lawn we can equip you with the right bug-killing products and expert know-how so you can get rid of those firebrats yourself!
How to Get Rid of Firebrats: Solutions 3 Step Process
Getting rid of firebrats can be a tricky task because they are nocturnal insects. For best results, Solutions experts recommend a combination of both chemical and organic control methods be applied to achieve total elimination of the insect. While using the professional-grade products we provide can go a long way in reducing a firebrat infestation, to achieve long-term control you will have to make your property less appealing to firebrats to get rid of them completely.
Step 1: Reduce areas of moisture around the home. Because firebrat have an affinity for moisture, it is important to eliminate high moisture areas. Firebrats flock to areas that are damp during the daytime around foundations, in mulch, under stones, boards, etc. By eliminating damp moist conditions as much as possible particularly around crawl spaces, faucets, and along the foundations, this can help greatly in preventing infestations.
Step 2: For areas of the home where you have found that firebrats frequent, you can set up traps to catch them. One of the most effective traps we carry are B&G Lo Line Insect Trap. These traps contain a special pheromone which will lure firebrats looking for a meal and will trap them. This is good is your infestation is minor.
Step 3: For invasions in the home,you can use a broad-sprectrum insecticide with a good residual like Cyper WP Insecticide or Zenprox EC Insecticide can provide long lasting control. Mix these products into a hand sprayer and treat all around the foundation both indoors and outdoors. Spend most of your focus treating the outside. Treat around windows, doorways, garages, crawl spaces, and around pipes and vents.
There are also dusts which you can use that are effective in killing earwigs and keeping them away like D-Fense Dust among others.
Step 4: Once the firebrat infestation has been eliminated, put into place exclusion and preventative measures to keep firebrats and other small pests from coming into your home. This can be done by decluttering your home and removing old papers, books, boxes, and clothes from storage areas. Some other preventative measures include placing screens on doors and windows and sealing up cracks and crevices with caulk.

We cuddle, and I feel you worrying;
you think I'm fragile. But you're safe with me,
or safe as caring can be. I won't lie:
we lose people. And love keeps happening.
You never raised a son from infancy
and watched him disappear; you're just a guy
who spent your early years adventuring.
So this is new, and we get used to free
until it stops. And when you said "goodbye"
you said it first. And you can count on me
to love you back, but all the worrying
on earth won't make forever. And I'd lie
except I'm past that; all I'll guarantee
is that I'd never hurt you carelessly.
Traffic Jam
The lanes peeled off like band-aids, asphalt coiled
in cast-off curlicues. You should have seen
how shocked those drivers were, stuck upside down
like flabbergasted flies with metal skin.
They were just features of the exit lane
till "something happened" (world gone literal)
and they 'peeled off' in earnest. As for us:
we rubbernecked, took out our cell phones ("snap")
and messaged ("stuck in traffic, literally",)
but no one not-there noticed. Entrances
smoothed down adhesively in seamless strips
(a giant, crisscross bandage); they said "merge" –
but it was difficult. Discarded lanes
like tins of anchovies with missing keys
had folded pickup trucks and wrinkled beds,
while underneath the ripped-up Georgia clay
gaped open to the sky like ripple-skin
too sensitive to touch. We got away:
"Yes sir, I'm late this morning. Traffic" (shrug).
Three Wishes
gets stuck between lead strips. And on those days
(if you should try to fix it) you'll find mud
inside what should be beer. Luck has a way
of hiding pots of gold in bars of lead.
by wrestling with a chubby leprechaun.
An artisan of stained-glass window blue
can replicate Madonnas without end.
you'll squat and clutch that mischief-minded man
until he takes you dancing with the fey:
the time for artistry has come and gone.
I'm wrestling with a chubby leprechaun.
A green-and-yellow marsh-meadow, with frogs
erupting happily in high pitched squeals
at not-quite-warm, but soon. A little mist –
along the edges, mostly; just enough
to blur the boundaries, which were softening
like patient cream cheese. And because of this,
a camera man with tripod, waiting for
the perfect picture. Arcs of colored light
the wet caught, rising: that was part of it.
And then the backdrop: plunging mountain sheers
with huddled snow-spots. But it helped, I think,
when something heavy moved the puddled grass
and startled the abruptly silent frogs:
a gap within the grasses, breath held: SNAP.

I talked with a lady on the bus who told me why she brought her emotional support dog with her. She said the dog helped her stay calm and the dog was her companion. This companion dog was a little dog she carried in a cat carrier-sized container. She sat down next to me and I, being curious, had questions. What dog guide school trained your dog? When was he trained? How old is he?
My dog guide is a 2004 graduate of Guide Dogs for the Blind, Oregon campus. He will be nine years old in July. Telly is my second dog guide and he goes everywhere with me.
The first time we talked was about a month ago. I saw her again about two weeks ago, but this time she exited the bus without talking to me. Since then, I've wondered if this same lady continues to use public buses. That is, if she does so following the recent revision of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) rule on use of service dogs in public places.
The law has defined a service animal specifically as trained dogs. It states: "trained dogs are the only species of animals that may qualify as service animals under the ADA (there is a separate provision regarding miniature horses) and emotional support animals are expressly precluded from qualifying as service animals."
The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently sent out a newly adopted revision to the meaning and use of service animals. According to the DOJ – "new ADA rules define "service animal" as any dog that is individually trained for an intellectual, or mental disability."
Does this mean that people who live with mental illness and use emotional support or companion dogs can no longer travel on public buses or in cabs?
Will veterans who live with mental illness, who need to use buses or cabs and have an emotional support dog be able to travel freely by using public transportation?
Do bus drivers and cab drivers enforce this rule by refusing rides to people who carry with them an emotional support dog?
It was also cited by the DOJ in the recent ADA ruling on service dogs under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) that – "the Department of Justice's (DOJ) recent amendments to its Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations' do not affect reasonable accommodation requests under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 (Section 504)."
The DOJ's new rules limit the definition of "service animal" in the ADA to Include dogs, and miniature horses under some circumstances. The new rules also define "service animal" to exclude emotional support animals.
What do you think?
Do you like the revisions to the law?
With regard to the recent revisions in the DOJ ruling of what is a service animal under ADA, is the new ruling fair?
Do you want a revision to the ADA law on the new definition and use of a service dog, companion dog, and/or emotional support dog?

A moment of shere panic and saddness
As I have said Rachael wakefield is very sick and will not be recovering this time. That with a few other friends who are really sick left me in a state of panic and saddness at the gym. I was working out, sweating and really going for it, I suddenly did a fast burst ont he bike and the tears just came running and running and running. I was i a histerical crying fit. I managed to hid it as much as i could and called my mum over who was 2 bikes away. letting lease my feelings of complete helplessness for all my suffering friends. I just couldn't hold it in. I hate how cruel life is and how my firends are dying around me and I simply cannot do anytthing to help them. I composed myself and carried on after 15mintues but there it was, I can't lye to myself Im struggling with grief and helplessness.
I am off my anti depressants and over all I am extremly happy, so happy its beyond belief and I can't say this out burst was anything to do with coming off my anti depressants. It was just an acumilation of grief, which im trying to deal with.
So life over all is good, but im thinking about all my struggling friends out there, love you all.

By far the majority of our business comes from preparing income tax returns. However, over recent years we have expanded our ability to offer business services such as bookkeeping and payroll.
The main thing we try to focus on when we are providing bookkeeping and payroll is to make a positive impact on the small business owner's bottom line. We are not interested in just "counting beans" and charging small businesspeople for services that have minimal value; we want to make sure that our bookkeeping and payroll services have positive "return on investment" and actually save our business clients money.
Let's take bookkeeping as an example. What is the point of bookkeeping? Why should a small business owner pay us $99 - $499 per month to keep track of income and expenses?
Well, there are various reasons why bookkeeping is important, such as:
- Doing the taxes at the end of the year is a lot easier when the books are in order
- With good books, the business owner need not fear an IRS audit because the receipts are all saved and organized
- Business owners should spend their time focusing on meeting customer needs and working on their actual businesses, rather than organizing pieces of paper
But by far the most important reason to pay for bookkeeping service is because when it's done right, bookkeeping allows the business owner to make INFORMED DECISIONS about the business.
- Where can you cut costs?
- Are you being charged for things that you did not purchase and/or are not using, such as unused and outdated subscriptions?
- Where can you spend more, to create more income?
- Which of your products and services are selling best?
- Where are the opportunities for you to increase your profit through pricing adjustments such as product or service 'add ons'?
When you can look at an accurate, detailed Profit & Loss Statement at the end of every month, when all your books and records are organized and up-to-date, you can make the informed decisions that can help you create more profit for your business. We have several different bookkeeping plans available:
- Basic Bookkeeping is $99 per month. "Basic" means that it takes us two hours or less per month to meet your bookkeeping needs.
- Complete Bookkeeping is $299 per month. "Complete" means that it takes us four hours or less to meet your bookkeeping needs.
- Deluxe Bookkeeping is $499 per month. "Deluxe" means that it takes us eight hours or less to meet your bookkeeping needs.
Sometimes, instead of us actually doing the business owner's bookkeeping, we charge a "set-up fee" and we teach the business owner how to do his or her own bookkeeping. This sometimes turns out to be a more beneficial arrangement for small business owners, especially when you are in the "bootstrapping" phase of your business and do not have a budget to pay a bookkeeper, and it is more than fine with us to help you do your own books--listen, we are here to serve YOU, and we are open to achieving that goal in a way that works for YOU. Bookkeeping consultations are provided at a rate of $65 per hour.
The fees for payroll services are dependent upon how many employees you have, how often you pay your employees, and a variety of other factors. We specialize on doing payroll for sole proprietorships and small, owner-operated S-corporations because these are the two company types where we can usually save our clients the most money on payroll expenses.
Contact us in our West Los Angeles office for a personalized quote on bookkeeping and payroll services; ask for Cynthia who supervises our bookkeeping and payroll services.
As always, we will work hard to give you the best service and price combination possible based on your individual needs.

Huntingdon County Man Charged with Federal Child Exploitation Offenses
HARRISBURG—The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that today a federal grand jury in Harrisburg returned an indictment against Jay Eugene Reed, age 55, a resident of Three Springs, Pennsylvania. The indictment charges Reed with production of child pornography, possession of child pornography and tampering with witnesses.
According to United States Attorney Peter Smith, Reed was charged in July 2015 by the Pennsylvania State Police with sexually assaulting minors. During the investigation, the State Police seized a cell phone, a computer, and other electronic devices belonging to Reed from his residence pursuant to search warrants. The Indictment alleges that Reed both produced and possessed images of child pornography found on several of the seized devices. The Indictment also alleges that Reed attempted to tamper with a victim or witness by writing a letter asking the victim/witness not to talk to anyone about the case.
Reed has been detained in custody since July 9, 2015 as a result of the sexual assault charges.
This investigation is being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Pennsylvania State Police and the Huntingdon County District Attorney's Office and is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Meredith A. Taylor.
If you have any information regarding this case, please contact Special Agent Clifton Vikara, FBI, at 814-234-0341.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc For more information about Internet safety education, please visit www.usdoj.gov/psc and click on the tab "resources."
All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.
A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
The maximum penalty under federal law is 30 years of imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant's educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.

Resume: Following the noted success of the 1st international conference on postdisciplinary approaches to tourism studies (held in Neuchatel, Switzerland, 19-22 June, 2013), we are happy to welcome you to the 2nd Tourism Postdisciplinarity Conference. Postdisciplinarity surpasses the boundaries of disciplinary thinking and opens up the possibility to question the established phenomena – touristic or otherwise – we take for granted. It does not claim that disciplinarity is essentially wrong, but it shows that disciplinary silos limit our capacity to make sense of the world and aims to make the subject of study less embedded in that system of thought. Postdisciplinarity is an epistemological endeavour that speaks of knowledge production and the ways in which the world of physical and social phenomena can be known. It is also an ontological discourse as it concerns what we call 'tourism'. Postdisciplinarity, as we see it, is an invitation to various interpretations, critical analysis, and creative problem solving. It extends to questioning conventional norms and processes of knowledge production, as well as challenging the environments that confine the scope and limits of what is possible, relevant, desirable and even credible.

Rethinking Autonomy, Space & Time In Today's World Of ArtBertelsen, Marianne (Frederiksberg, 2016)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: By studying what goes on in the world of art, it is possible not only to make observations about art and the artist but also to understand how modern-day culture is being organized and negotiated. From this perspective, understanding the experiences of autonomy and contemporaneity in being an artist today, and how these relate to cultural structures, can serve to explain some of the cultural structures that organize the world of art. In this thesis, my empirical starting point is the local context of a Danish art school and global attitudes to cultural policy-making and art education. These attitudes, in turn, carry my research process across the global world of art, involving the local context of a Chinese art school. Moving away from the somewhat simplified conflicts of autonomy and heteronomy, the global and the local, and the traditional and the contemporary, the three main themes of autonomy, time, and space serve as essential prisms through which to understand and explain the everyday experiences of contemporary art at art schools today. This thesis is positioned as a contribution to the sociology of art but also draws on, and hopes to inspire, scholarship in global art history and aesthetic philosophy. Building upon the classic groundwork in the sociology of art I shed light on how, in an ever more changing world of art, the idea of contemporary art now involves a complex group of issues which go beyond classic approaches, and I suggest the explanatory potential of focusing on individual artists, acting in and making sense of the cultural structures of the world of art. My research process has been guided by critical realism and the methodological meta-approach of engaging with complexity through reflexive research. In this sense, the title "Aesthetic Encounters" refers not only to the conceptual and empirical results and contributions of the thesis but also to the explorative research process of engaging with the complexity of cultural and artistic worlds. As the main outcome of my research, I develop and present the concepts of "antinomies of autonomy", globally connected but locally present contemporaneity, and the "heterochronies" of specific space-times. These are the socio-cultural dynamics which the experiences of the Chinese and Danish artists and their faculties brought me to understand. I then appropriate these dynamics as a means of rethinking and explaining some of the structural features in the world of art and the cultural developments evolving around the increased globalization of and changes in the role of the artist.

The Challenge of Social MediaHvass, Kristian A.; Munar, Ana María (Frederiksberg, 2010)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Over the years online marketing has grown in importance in the airline industry. This media space offers airlines numerous marketing tools, one of the most recent being social media. Social media allows airlines to interact directly with customers via various Internet platforms, and monitor customer opinions and evaluations of services. This exploratory paper studies airlines' use of social media on Facebook and Twitter for a defined period of time. The paper analyses the content of social media posted by airlines and provides a categorization of the content according to the promotional marketing mix. A netnographic method has been adopted for the examination of these social media platforms. Study findings show that there is poor strategic perspective and a lack of continuity in the use of social media. Results may aid marketing departments in their marketing and social media communication strategies, while at the same time complementing current marketing research.

Resume: This study investigates the antecedents of psychic distance. Building on original data in 25 of the world's largest economies, we investigate potential drivers of the perceived distance among a given pair of countries. Results confirm that psychic distance is indeed a multifaceted construct which is determined by cultural, geographic and economic factors. Furthermore, our results indicate that geographic distance accounts for the largest share of the explained variance, suggesting that future studies should attribute geographic distance a more prominent role when it comes to empirically investigating international business decisions for which psychic distance perceptions may be important. They also suggest that, used in isolation, cultural distance – as measured by the so called Kogut and Singh index – is a poor predictor of distance perceptions. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6583

Håkanson, Lars (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: All knowledge is context dependent. The relevant context is the social community where it resides, i.e. the 'epistemic community' formed as groups of people define and legitimize the knowledge they possess. In the mutual engagement in a common enterprise, epistemic communities develop, maintain and nurture the codes, tools and theories that provide the basis of their practice. Commonalities of code, tools and theory facilitate both voluntary transfer and involuntary imitation of knowledge within communities, also ones spanning organizational boundaries. Conversely, knowledge transfer between different epistemic communities, whether desired or unintended, is often cumbersome and fraught with difficulties. In order to achieve effective integration and cooperation between its various professional communities and subcultures, firms must therefore undertake investments in boundary-spanning mechanisms. Since these investments are specific to the context in which they take place and to the transactions that they enable, they cannot easily be organized through arm's length contracts. Firms exist because they have a relative advantage over markets in the integration of diverse knowledge. However, the associated capabilities need not translate into a relative advantage also in the transfer of knowledge, i.e. knowledge exchanged between members of the same epistemic community. Within communities, knowledge disseminates with relative ease both intentionally and through emulation. Knowledge thus acquired can generally be applied also outside the context of the exchange and the effort or investment expended in its acquisition is not transaction specific. The governance mode applied in such exchanges is therefore determined by strategic and contextual factors, including those of traditional transaction cost logic. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6581

Resume: All of the three major theories of the firm, i.e., the transaction cost theory, knowledge-based theory and the entrepreneurship theory, offer some insightful analyses of the nature of the firm. However, they all have limitations and weaknesses in answering the fundamental question of the existence of the firm. In addition, they are all partial due to their particular focus on the multifaceted phenomenon of the firm. We argue that it is necessary and sufficient to develop a comprehensive yet integrative theory of the firm that combines the three competing yet complementary logics. Toward this end, we propose an aspirational community theory of the firm (ACT) as a candidate theory by conceptualizing the firm as an aspirational community, the core of which is a group of like-minded people sharing similar or same aspiration/vision. To explain the comparative advantage of the firm vis-à-vis market, we make a distinction between contractual labor and aspirational labor, the former being defined as services provided by a laborer in fulfillment of a contract while the latter as services provided by a laborer in pursuit of an aspiration; and argue that firms exist because while the market may be effective and efficient for allocating contractual labor it is less effective and efficient than the firms for allocating aspirational labor.

Resume: The business case for advancing more women into leadership is clear for companies globally. Whilst this is an issue of equality, it's also about accessing markets, productivity and economic opportunity. ANZ has made good progress: three women sit on our Management Board; 38% of all management roles and 24% of our most senior executive positions are held by women; and females lead key global businesses and countries in our super regional growth strategy. However, further gains are now hard won and largely incremental. Looking at the results of EOWA's 2012 Australian Census of Women in Leadership, it seems we are not alone. Given the high proportion of Australian women with a tertiary education - and indeed placed within junior and middle management ranks - the Census results demonstrate the pace of progression is far too slow. Extensive local and international research tells us there is no 'silver bullet'. In fact, I believe as CEOs and business leaders our approach must now focus on gender balancing our businesses with a fine tooth comb. We need to go beyond high level targets, discrete programs and initiatives and engage women and men in this major opportunity. For example, at ANZ we are working to ensure women have access to a breadth of critical experiences and development opportunities throughout their careers to position them well for senior executive roles into the future. We have set targets for at least 40% female representation amongst participants in our key recruitment, talent and development programs, in addition to our medium term goal to achieve at least 40% representation of women in management overall. More broadly, senior women consistently cite an inclusive and supportive line manager as a defining factor in their progression. It follows that if we want more women in our senior ranks, constructive, inclusive and supportive leaders should become the norm in Australian business rather than the exception. Flexible work options assist in helping people balance their caring responsibilities and other commitments. But there's more we can do to role model and promote flexibility, especially as such practices also build a more agile, productive and capable workforce. I recommend this report to all business leaders and urge all executives and directors to accept accountability for ensuring the next Census delivers better results.

Expo 2010 – Performing and regulating 'Danishness'Ren, Carina; Ooi, Can-Seng (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Using the concepts of auto-communication and micro-orientalism, this article argues that nation branding at World Expos produces and propagates notions of difference and otherness. By use of the Danish 'Welfairytales' pavilion at the 2010 Expo in Shanghai, we show how national Self is performed in two versions. One attempts to communicate 'the good Danish life' to the Danes themselves, while the other claims Occidental superiority. The case shows how the Danish exhibition is performed and regulated as sustainable and authentic and how in spite of its seemingly dialogical and interactive layout, a number of auto-communicative and micro-orientalist practices are enacted.

Resume: Research concerning the autonomy of subsidiaries has been concentrated on the possession of decision-making rights. Building on the definitional and empirical argumentation, we claim that so understood autonomy has a prospective character, is not equal to the implementation of actual actions (or lack of thereof) and neglects the issue of the scope of potential actions. This paper aims to fill in the current literature gap by offering a holistic stance in which we assert that subsidiaries can be meaningfully differentiated according to their levels of autonomy and corresponding actions. We base this argumentation on the findings of real option theory and competitive dynamics perspective, develop a typology specific to a subsidiary's autonomy activity status (the position of a subsidiary in terms of its autonomy level confronted with the extent of actions taken in a corresponding area). We evaluate empirical validity of this approach on a sample of 377 foreign subsidiaries located in CEE countries. Our results (multinomial logit models) show that the proposed typology has the power to define internally consistent positions which are differentiated along four variables representing widely understood interdependencies within an MNE (sales dependence, sourcing dependence, technological dependence of the foreign investor upon the subsidiary and technological dependence of the subsidiary upon the MNE).

An exploration of micro- and macro-level determinants of board effectivenessMinichilli, Alessa Andro; Zattoni, Alessandro; Nielsen, Sabina; Huse, Morten (, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper addresses recent calls to narrow the micro–macro gap in management research (Bamberger, 2008), by incorporating a macro-level context variable (country) in exploring micro-level determinants of board effectiveness. Following the integrated model proposed by Forbes and Milliken (1999), we identify three board processes as micro-level determinants of board effectiveness. Specifically, we focus on effort norms, cognitive conflicts and the use of knowledge and skills as determinants of board control and advisory task performance. Further, we consider how two different institutional settings influence board tasks, and how the context moderates the relationship between processes and tasks. Our hypotheses are tested on a survey-based dataset of 535 medium-sized and large industrial firms in Italy and Norway, which are considered to substantially differ along legal and cultural dimensions. The findings show that: (i) Board processes have a larger potential than demographic variables to explain board task performance; (ii) board task performance differs significantly between boards operating in different contexts; and (iii) national context moderates the relationships between board processes and board task performance.

This study analyzes the business models of North America low-cost carriers from 2001 to 2010 using a Boolean minimization algorithm to identify which combinations of business model activities lead to operational profitability. The research aim is threefold: complement airline literature in the realm of business model innovation, introduce Boolean minimization methods to the field, and propose alternative business model activities to North American carriers striving for positive operating results.

The Causal Relationship Between Insider Ownership, Owner Identity, and Market Valuation Among the Largest European CompaniesPedersen, Torben; Thomsen, Steen (København, 2001)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The causal relationship between insider ownership and market valuation is tested by simultaneous estimation of the causes and effect of insider ownership among the largest continental European companies. Controlling for nation and industry effects insider ownership (measured by the fraction of "closely held" shares) is found to have a positive effect on market valuation (market-to-book values). And market valuation is found to have a positive feedback effect on the level of insider ownership. The findings provide empirical support for a theoretical model proposed by La Porta et al (1999). But the results are also found to be sensitive to owner identity: while a higher level of financial and corporate insider ownership is found to increase market valuation, family ownership has no significant effect, and a higher level of government ownership is found to reduce market valuation.

|Baillon's Crake
Baillon's Crake, Spotless Crake and Pale-vented Bush-hen were all seen well this morning at the Cooroy sewage treatment works on the Sunshine Coast.
|Baillon's Crake
I saw two Baillon's Crake and three Spotless Crakes, with another 5 or 6 Spotless Crakes heard. I was interested to see that the Baillon's Crake in the images above appeared to show some interest in playback. This species does not breed in Australia and normally does not react to playback of its call.
A Pale-vented Bush-hen was flushed twice from reeds in one of the ponds. Other birds icluded 8 Latham's Snipe and 2 Little Grassbirds, along with several Tawny Grassbirds, and 50 White-throated Needletails.
|Spotted Harrier
This Spotted Harrier was present in a weedy field today near Yandina. Over the past three years, I've found these harriers to be consistently present in low-lying grasslands surrounding the Maroochy River. Birds have been in all plumage phases, indicating local breeding.
In recent weeks, harriers have been appearing in the Yandina-North Arm area in habitat I've not seen them in previously. This is likely to have something to do with the fact that the cane harvesting season in the Maroochy River flats has been underway, with large swathes of grassland as well as cane going under the harvesters. Presumably the birds have been forced to disperse.

Part 22: Increasing Independence With Toileting
In the end, the goal is that your child independently recognize the need to eliminate, to go to the bathroom by himself and complete the toileting routine without your assistance, including reminders. So where do you start? When your child has mastered bowel and bladder control (he has no accidents and eliminates or tries to eliminate immediately upon sitting on the toilet), he is ready to be more independent with toileting.
Start by assessing where your child is with respect to the various parts of the toileting routine. For example, if your child can remove his own clothing or wash and dry his hands, pull back your assistance, including verbal reminders, and let him do it himself. If he needs a reminder, quietly point to the picture for that activity on his schedule.
Initially the adult is part of the toilet training process to support the child's performance of new learning tasks. However, some children have difficulty learning to toilet alone because an adult is always present. As the child masters the steps in the toileting routine, you will want to support more independence so the child can complete the routine on his own without your assistance and reminders.
Here are some ways to help your child become more independent with toileting:
- From the very beginning teach your child to respond to environmental cues and visual supports. Gradually fade your verbal cues and point to the picture of the next step in the process or to the time to be used in the next step (e.g., pointing to the towel after he has washed his hands). Other environmental cues might include having your child hold a toy that is only used when sitting on the toilet or colored tape on the faucet to assist with regulating the water temperature.
- Decide when you can leave your child on his own in the bathroom – either at the end of the routine or at the beginning. For example, if he can wash and dry his hands independently, leave the bathroom then. Gradually leave sooner so he can be independent with more of the routine (e.g., leave him to flush and then wash and dry his hands). You may find the use of rewards helpful to promote increased independence.
Some individuals may always require some level of assistance and/or supervision while completing the toileting routine. For some children, some of the parts of the toileting routine may be physically and/or cognitively too difficult. The child may be able to master some aspects of the toileting routine but continue to require some physical assistance or at least verbal reminders as well as supervision for safety reasons. To whatever extent a child can do something himself, he should. The adults continue to provide whatever support is needed while allowing the young person do what he can by himself.
There are some common behavioral issues or problems that might interfere with total independence, including:
- Refusing to enter the bathroom
- Refusing to sit on the toilet
- Fear of flushing the toilet
- Excessive toilet flushing
- Refusal to wash and/or dry hands
- Playing in the water in the toilet and/or the sink
- Anxiety about eliminating in the toilet
- Resistance to using toilet paper

When checking (scans of) copies of ID documents make sure the MRZ can be read properly.
The LITE version of AuthentiScan combines an automated check of the MRZ with the ability to compare document data to the Documentchecker reference database. If all is well, a green tick appears on the screen. If not, LITE automatically forwards details of the ID document to the Keesing Helpdesk.
Via AuthentiScan LITE scans of copies of 2 ID documents where uploaded to the Keesing Helpdesk server for further inspection because the automated MRZ (machine readable zone) check resulted in an error.
After inspection, the Helpdesk updates the status of one of the ID checks into "OK". However, the other ID document could not be checked properly as it was not scanned correctly. This ID check was assigned the status "bad scan".
The AuthentiScan LITE user asked for advise what to do, as repeated attempts to check the ID document were unsuccessful.
The Helpdesk advises:
"Increase the DPI (dots per inch) for scans or remove the space around the ID document on the scan with the cropping tool. This way, the OCR system AuthentiScan LITE uses, can read the MRZ correctly."
After applying the cropping tool for the ID check the document was checked automatically in just seconds and the screen immediately showed a green tick.

Double Standard, Inadequate Support Hurt Refugee Claimants, Says Kwan
By: Jeremy J. Nuttall in Ottawa
As a Vancouver society working to support refugees fears closure after being denied federal funding, a similar organization in Manitoba said Ottawa approached it to talk about providing funding earlier this year.
NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan said the government needs to provide consistent support as increasing numbers of people claiming refugee status cross the U.S. border.
"That's extremely disturbing," Kwan said of the situation. "There needs to be consistency and fairness on the approach and they need to recognize their responsibility on this."
The Tyee reported Thursday on the possible closure of the Inland Refugee Society of BC, which has been overwhelmed by a wave of refugee claimants crossing into British Columbia from the U.S., many avoiding official border crossings.
The number of people seeking support has more than doubled, executive director Mario Ayala said, and the society's annual funding has been exhausted already.
In the first five months of this year, the society has helped 700 undocumented refugee claimants find shelter. Ayala said if the organization closes, Metro Vancouver could see a spike in homeless refugees.
The federal government has said it will not pitch in to close the funding gap, saying the undocumented asylum-seekers Ayala's organization is helping don't qualify for federal assistance.
The B.C. government has also turned down the organization, he said.
Ayala said Marta Morgan, the deputy minister for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, said part of the reason the society wouldn't receive funding is because the federal government "can't be seen" to be helping undocumented refugees.
Department spokesperson Nancy Chan said it does not comment on private conversations.
Canada recognizes two broad classes of refugees: people who apply for asylum in another country before being accepted; and those who apply once in Canada, often referred to as undocumented refugees because they have not been vetted before arrival.
Refugee claimants arriving from the U.S. can be turned away at official border crossings because Canada recognizes it as a safe country for those seeking asylum.
As a result, an increasing number of asylum seekers have been crossing the U.S.-Canadian border between official points of entry to claim refugee status.
Kwan said Canada has signed international agreements to recognize refugees who make a claim once in the country, and shouldn't abandon them.
"If the government is taking the position to say 'no, we can't be seen to be supporting these refugee claimants,' then that is very troubling," she said.
But while the B.C. society was told the government wouldn't provide help for such refugee claimants, the head of a Manitoba organization offering the same services said Ottawa actually approached asking them to submit a funding request.
The Manitoba Interfaith Immigration Council helps refugees find temporary shelter and settlement services and has assisted 618 people this year.
Executive director Rita Chahal said the government asked her several months ago what kind of support the organization needs.
"I was approached by a couple of project officers to submit a budget, which we did," Chahal said. "No one has followed up on it, no one has contacted us to see if they reviewed it and what their position might be."
Chahal said the federal government has always held the position that it would not help undocumented refugees.
Despite the request for a funding proposal, Chahal said she isn't expecting any money.
She said the Manitoba government helps her organization's efforts with $110,000 per year in funding. The council also raises money from other donors.
The Manitoba Ministry of Education and Training, citing a June 13 byelection, said it couldn't comment on the decision to fund the council.
But a press release in February quoted Manitoba Progressive Conservative Premier Brian Pallister.
"Just as we have opened our arms to newcomers for centuries, our province continues to provide significant supports to those organizations offering direct services to refugee claimants," Pallister said. "Our focus remains on measures that will ensure both the welfare of refugee claimants and the continued safety and security of residents of border towns."
Kwan said the federal government can't encourage one society struggling with lack of money to apply for funding while telling another there's no chance of getting help.
She said she's worried a wave of homeless refugees will be forced to the streets of Vancouver if someone doesn't step up with support.

China Refusing to Recognize Canadian Citizenship of Travellers, Reports Say
by Jeremy J. Nuttall in Ottawa
The federal New Democrats are demanding action from Ottawa after hearing the Chinese government is refusing to recognize Canadian citizenship when granting visas to those with roots in Hong Kong or Mainland China.
NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan said she is sending a letter to Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion after speaking to travel agents in Toronto and Vancouver who report Beijing is denying Canadian citizens of Chinese origin the right to obtain visas using their Canadian passports.
Instead, they are reportedly being issued travel documents as Chinese nationals, which means they won't have the protection of the Canadian embassy while travelling in China.
Kwan said until June 2, Canadian citizens born in Hong Kong or Mainland China could choose to travel as Chinese nationals or Canadian citizens. Now Beijing is apparently forcing them to travel as Chinese nationals.
"It's a major shift in practice from what it used to be and is of big concern to people," she said.
Even Canadian citizens born here to Chinese parents must apply for Chinese travel documents if they have not travelled to the country as Canadians before, Kwan said.
One Toronto travel agent, who spoke to The Tyee on the condition of anonymity, said his company arranges visas for visitors to Mainland China. Applications have been denied for people born in Hong Kong, Mainland China, or Taiwan, the agent said. The Beijing government has also denied visas to Canadian-born children of Chinese origin parents, he said.
The rejections have come with notes directing the applicants to go to a Chinese consulate in person to apply for travel documents.
Many people have opted to cancel their trips to China rather than travel as Chinese nationals, said the agent.
Tightening controls?
China expert Charles Burton, a professor at Brock University, said the move appears to be part of Beijing's attempt to tighten control globally to mute dissent against the ruling regime.
Burton pointed to a recent case of a Hong Kong bookseller with a Swedish passport who was arrested in Thailand and sent to China for "interrogation" as an example of Beijing's actions.
He said the reported policy would be in line with China's policy of considering anyone with Chinese heritage as subject to Beijing's authority.
"I think it does have a chilling effect on people of Chinese origin who felt that acquisition of foreign citizenship gave them a degree of protection," Burton said. "It goes against international law; it's part and parcel of China's refusal to acknowledge the authority of international regimes in general."
He said the policy could be considered discrimination because Beijing is issuing visas based solely on people's ethnicity.
Burton said Canada must raise the issue with China at the highest levels.
The revelations come four weeks after Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a tantrumwhen a Canadian reporter in Ottawa asked him about China's detention of Canadian citizen Kevin Garratt, aggressive moves in the South China Sea, and the disappearances of merchants in Hong Kong selling books critical of the Chinese government.
Following the outburst Ottawa faced criticism for its declaration of plans to deepen ties with China.
Global Affairs Canada said it was aware of the visa situation and intends to raise the issue with Beijing, but would not grant an interview with Dion.
** Story update, June 30: Since NDP MP Jenny Kwan's initial complaint, the Chinese embassy in Ottawa has issued a statement saying it has not changed its policy, but gives no explanation for why it was asking people to apply for Chinese travel documents.
"It should be noted that we welcome visit to China by Canadians of Hong Kong origin," read the statement. "There is no such a thing as China tightening its travel document-related policies."
Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Hong Lei also addressed the issue in his regular press briefing in Beijing.
Kwan released a statement in response suggesting that people who had problems apply once again and to bring the full Chinese statement from the Chinese embassy with them when they do.

The Dunes and Ocean Beach
On the ocean side of the island are the sand dunes. Sea oats and other grasses, vines like beach morning glory, and other salt-tolerant plants grow on the dunes and help stabilize them with their extensive root systems. These plants also provide cover and shade for the few hardy species which live here.
These grasses and dunes also act like styrofoam, giving a little, but mostly absorbing the force of storm winds and waves, thus protecting the island from storms. What might happen in a big storm in areas where the dunes have been destroyed or built on?
Please help protect the dunes in all coastal areas by not walking on them or picking dune vegetation. Click here for more.

To Kill a Mockingbird Topic Tracking: Innocence
Chapter 1
Innocence 1: Scout tries to explain to her teacher that she is embarrassing Walter Cunningham by offering him something that he won't be able to pay back. Scout realizes that because her teacher isn't a local, she won't know that about the Cunninghams, but Scout's explanation gets her into trouble. She wasn't trying to be insulting, but Miss Caroline mistook her frank and innocent explanation as condescension or rudeness and punished her for it. Scout's perception of the world and her classmates is not yet marred by the social divisions that adults see.
Chapter 3
Innocence 2: Scout really does insult Walter this time as she questions the way he eats and makes him feel self-conscious. She's not doing it intentionally -- she's just curious because she's never seen people who eat that way. She's too young to understand the social graces of Southern hospitality that dictate that you always make people feel at home and welcome no matter how unusual their habits may be.
Chapter 5
Innocence 3: Dill asked Scout to marry her more because she was one of the only girls he knew than because he loved her. They are too young to understand what marriage means or why people marry, so they just pretend as a way of feeling grown up.
Innocence 4: Jem didn't realize that without actually saying that they were playing the Boo Radley game he still admitted to his father that that's what they were doing. His father used a courtroom technique to make his son confess, and it bothered Jem because he hadn't expected that from Atticus.
Chapter 6
Innocence 5: Although Atticus made threats to his children all the time, he'd never whipped them. Jem didn't want to have to disappoint Atticus by explaining that he'd deliberately disobeyed him, so he went back for his pants despite the danger of it. He didn't want to change the nature of his relationship with Atticus by making him punish Jem.
Chapter 7
Innocence 6: Jem realized that it was Boo Radley leaving little gifts for them in the knothole of the oak tree, and he was crushed when Nathan Radley cemented up their only line of communication. Nathan said he did it because the tree was dying, but it was obvious to Jem that he did it just to keep them from communicating with Boo, and it made him sad.
Chapter 8
Innocence 7: When Atticus suggested they return the blanket to the Radley house, Jem poured out all the secrets they'd been keeping about their contact with Boo Radley and how Nathan found ways to prevent it. Jem didn't want to return the blanket because he didn't want to get Boo into trouble since he'd never done anything but help them out although he'd had plenty of opportunity to hurt them. Jem realizes that Boo is a friend in a way and he wants to protect him, so he was willing to expose all his secrets to Atticus in order to protect Boo.
Chapter 9
Innocence 8: Scout hears her classmates saying terrible things about Atticus because he's defending a black man, but she doesn't see the wrong in what her father is doing. Atticus explains to her that it's not really a bad thing, but some people see it that way. Scout is too young to understand prejudice and injustice. Atticus tries to preserve this innocence by raising her to believe that there is nothing wrong with defending a black man. It's his duty, and so it should be hers as well.
Chapter 10
Innocence 9: It's a sin to kill a mockingbird because they are innocent birds who only live to make music for us to enjoy. That's what Atticus and Miss Maudie told Scout after she and Jem got their air rifles for Christmas. It's a sin to willfully destroy innocence, and a mockingbird embodies innocence.
Chapter 14
Innocence 10: Scout, in all her youthful naïveté, believes that Atticus and Cal need her around to run the house and make decisions. In her mind her role is greatly exaggerated, and Dill has experienced the painful realization that he's not needed as much as he thought he was. He's reached a point of awakening that Scout has yet to reach, but he's no happier for the knowledge he's gained.
Chapter 15
Innocence 11: Scout had no idea that the men gathered around her father were intending to harm him. She disarmed them with her youth and innocence in the way that she talked to Mr. Cunningham as a friend because she knew he'd done business with her father and she knew his son from school. The way she tried to strike up a friendly conversation with him must have reminded him that they were neighbors and friends, and that protected Atticus and Tom Robinson from being harmed by the mob of men from Old Sarum that night.
Chapter 19
Innocence 12: Dill cries after seeing the condescension with which Mr. Gilmer questioned Tom because he was a Negro. Dill believed that it was unfair to treat anyone that way, Negro or not. Dill was still too young to realize that it was commonplace for Negroes to be treated so disrespectfully. Mr. Raymond predicted that in a few years he might notice the injustice, but he would be so accustomed to it that he wouldn't cry over it any more.
Chapter 26
Innocence 13: Scout doesn't understand the hypocrisy her teacher displays in hating Hitler for his prejudice against Jews, yet she hates blacks just as much. The inconsistency bothers Scout and her realization of this double standard among people is the beginning of her awakening to the hypocrisy of most people.
