We've already published a Skoda Rapid Spaceback review when we drove a prototype, but this was our first opportunity to drive the full production Spaceback and try the efficient new diesel.
Featuring a detuned version of the familiar 1.6-litre diesel already fitted to the Rapid Fastback (confusingly, also a hatch, but saloon-shaped), the Spaceback emits a mere 104g/km of CO2 and claims 72.4mpg when fitted with the optional £250 Green Tec pack.
Only 89bhp powers the front wheels via a five-speed manual box, so the new entry-level TDI is not the strongest performer. Also, the narrow powerband means you must change gear often to maintain momentum. Still, with 230Nm of torque (more than any of the petrol models), it's more than capable of hauling the Spaceback (plus passengers and luggage) around and maintaining a steady long-distance cruise.
However, unlike the silky-smooth 1.2-litre TSI we tried previously, the diesel really struggles with refinement. There is a loud clatter on start-up and noticeable vibration through the gearlever, while at high speeds both wind and road noise also become intrusive.
It's a shame, because in other areas the Spaceback trumps the more staid Rapid Fastback. Fresh materials fitted to the dashboard and a smart three-spoke steering wheel lifted from the Octavia add a level of sophistication missing from the Rapid Fastback.
The Spaceback introduces a few fresh mechanical tweaks, too, with a new electric power-steering rack and mildly retuned dampers that have been softened in an attempt to smooth out the ride. The steering is light and offers no real feedback, but it does make the Spaceback very easy to drive around town.
Handling-wise, the Spaceback offers few surprises compared to its sister car. It corners with a predictable amount of body roll and there is a reasonable level of grip from the front tyres. Push harder, though, and there's no real driver engagement.
The suspension tweaks are less than successful, too. Even on fairly smooth surfaces the low-speed ride is busy and unsettled. The 16-inch wheels really amplify large bumps in the road, sending unpleasant thuds from the rear axle through the wheel and into the cabin.
At 4.3 metres long, the car brings Ford Mondeo levels of rear space to the compact hatch sector. The optional Style Pack includes a full-length glass roof that floods the cabin with light without restricting headroom.
Starting at around £14,000 when it goes on sale in January, this new bodystyle should widen the Rapid's appeal to a younger audience – and it's well equipped, too. However, we'll wait for official prices to be confirmed before passing our final verdict.

Mapping the 7 Deadly Sins
From Wired Magazine:
We're gluttons for infographics, and a team at Kansas State just served up a feast: maps of sin created by plotting per-capita stats on things like theft (envy) and STDs (lust).
Above is the Greed map. I guess we're pretty greedy here in the Bay Area. But, Texas, you've really got a Gluttony issue: See the Gluttony map and all the rest

The company did not specifically say why it decided to buy out Icahn. But Nick Snyder, an analyst at Union Square Research Group, said it may have been the result of a disagreement about the company's future, such as what Take-Two should do with its cash or whether or not it should put itself up for sale.
In the statement announcing its purchase of Icahn's stake, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said that the decision "reflects our confidence in the company's outlook for record results in fiscal 2014 and ... profitability every year for the foreseeable future."
you missed the line where Icahn was said to be concentrating on short term shareholder value (good for us) vs Z's plans for continued growth (stock in the teens for years)

FOR-loops are the main source of parallelism in programs. A nonlinear transformation algorithm for parallelizing the execution of FOR-loop models is proposed. It is shown that by the mapping of nonlinear transformation, iterations of FOR-loops can be executed in a parallel form. The algorithm is useful in exploiting the parallelism of FOR-loops with one or more partitions on the innermost loop. Algorithms to partition and map the nested FOR-loops onto fixed size systolic arrays are discussed. Based on the time and space mapping schemes, all the iterations of FOR-loops can be correctly executed on the array processors in a parallel form

I was in an accident in December of 2015. After a week the State Patrol mailed me a ticket. I retained the services of Mr. Carpenter to fight the "Too fast for conditions" ticket. I am very pleased of the outcome. Ticket was dismissed !!! Thank you very much. If I ever need you again I will not hesitate to call.
Posted by Mike
I have been client of Michaels for sometime, as a youth many speeding tickets. Now a days just the occasional speeding tickets. Great person keeps you informed of the process and updates. I have referred many people to him and all have been satisfied.
Posted by a client
Thank you Michael & Amy for your help with my case. Couldn't be more pleased with outcome! Amy was great at explaining the process and keeping up with communications and Mike did a awesome job in court. Thanks again!! I have already passed on recommendations.
Posted by Tamera
I met Michael by chance in an elevator, my boyfriend had just been arrested and I had no idea where to even begin. Michael was professional and helpful from the jump. He advised how to get the ball rolling (we were already in the middle of a deferment) He advised which hearings he needed to be at and what I could handle myself (saving money) Michael was honest, quick to answer and took care of everything. I can not say enough good things about his assistance. His assistant Amy is above and beyond, before I was able to get answers they helped lead the way, always answering my phone calls, emails in a timely manner. I hope to never need their services again, but I would hire him again and recommend him to ANYONE for services.
Posted by a client
Having since consulting with another lawyer to see if we could sue Michael Carpenter, they agreed with us that he lied, and is incompetent. He practiced what they call turn and burn. Get the money, take the plea and get on with the next case. He told us the record could be expunged and it could not. If he didn't know it could not be expunged he is negligent and ignorant in criminal law and if he did he is a complete jerk as this has ruined the record and life of a young man.
Posted by Anthony
I hired Mr. Carpenter to represent me on a what was my third DUI charge. He was both professional and courteous. I was referred to Mr. Carpenter by a friend whom he had recently represented. I felt like Mr. Carpenter actually listened to me and took the time to learn about me as an individual, as well as the specifics of my case.
While, and unfortunately, this was not my first DUI, Mr. Carpenter was willing to deal with my new charge, plus the concerns of my old charge, as a sort of a package-deal. He was also sensitive to my financial situation and was willing to work with me to arrange payment.
Mr. Carpenter was both professional in both his dealings with me and with the court. He always showed up well dressed and prepared. There were a few instances in which Mr. Carpenter was late, but *never* without advanced warning and both times were well within an acceptable time frame.
When I first approached Mr. Carpenter, I explained to him that my primary goal what was to avoid jail time at all costs and to minimize the impact on my day to day life. On both counts Mr. Carpenter was able to achieve my wishes.
The eventual resolution to my case was a deferment. While I have every confidence Mr. Carpenter looked over my case to seek a better way out, he and I were both aware from the onset that deferment would mostly likely be my only option. Without Mr. Carpenter representing me, I have every confidence I would be sitting in jail today and that I would have a second DUI on my criminal history.
Finally, and as an aside, his assistance, Amy, is great. She's funny and very capable. She never failed to return my calls promptly whenever I had questions regarding my case.
Posted by a Speeding Ticket client
Positive outcome. Situation was handled with great communication and was hassle/headache free! Thank you Mike Carpenter and Amy (assistant with whom all communication was done), I really appreciate you guys and all that you did to help me! I will recommend you, of course. Thank you-
Posted by Quinn
I had a case that dragged out years, and he was not prepared and I suffered for it, and a few years after the results I learned that he misinformed me of facts so he didn't have to do work that would have relieved me of bearing a bad situation for years...I am preparing to retain an attorney to undo his poor defense...
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
This man does not repond to questions. It was very difficult getting information. He was not responsive. It was difficult to build trust due to very unspecific answers, and therefore, we paid for another attorney to assist.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
Mike is a great attorney, is very responsive, kept me informed, and always professional. I highly recommend him.

Stem cell therapy holds great promise for regenerative medicine and the treatment of numerous diseases. A key issue of stem cell therapy is the control of stem cell fate, but safe and practical methods are limited. Essential fatty acids, namely ω-6 (n-6) and ω-3 (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and their metabolites are critical components of cell structure and function, and could therefore influence stem cell fate. The available evidence demonstrates that n-6 and n-3 PUFA and their metabolites can act through multiple mechanisms to promote the proliferation and differentiation of various stem cell types. Therefore, elucidating the role of PUFA and their metabolites in stem cell fate regulation is both a challenge and an opportunity for stem cell biology as well as stem cell therapy. PUFA-based interventions to create a favorable environment for stem cell proliferation or differentiation may thus be a promising and practical approach to controlling stem cell fate for clinical applications.

Salt Glue painting is therapeutic, strengthens fine motor skills, can be modified into what you're currently learning (Alphabets, Numbers, Words, Drawings, or simply squiggles) and is a lot of fun!
Don't bother saving these art pieces however pretty they turn out, as the sheets tend to shed salt long after they've dried! Don't forget to take some pictures though!

Why Children must tap into their Inner Introvert: What's so Magical about Solitude? (Practical Mondays #18)
Last week I read Susan Cain's "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" (*affiliate) Written like a typical introvert, the book contains pages and pages of meticulous research and more research, done over a period of seven years. She takes us through case studies of Harvard Business School, Professor Kagan's ongoing research on physiology, Steve Wozniak, Warren Buffet, Eleanor Roosevelt, and even cultural differences between the quiet Asian vs boisterous Americans.
So while the book did a good job making a case for introverts, how much power they hold and how the world should accept them, what I took home from it was how *everyone* should tap into their inner introvert.
Without labelling our children as a shy extrovert, dominating introvert, ambivert and what not, let's all agree that irrespective of the degree of extraversion, there is at least a minuscule degree of introversion within them. It *is* there, somewhere!
And we need to tap into it and embrace it.
Because as much as it is important for children to be well adjusted to other children and overall environment, it is important to be comfortable with being alone for a little while.
If you *are* an introvert (or somewhat introverted!), then a perfunctory scroll down of reviews on Goodreads will suggest that you'll LOVE this book. Like "Finally! Someone to talk on our behalf!"
You may chuckle on the parts where she suggests introverts most likely think of 'class participation' as 'talking nonsense' and make a mental note of the Japanese Proverb "The wind howls, but the mountain remains still".
That's cool, I get it. I get bored of social chit chat too. But honestly, I believe whether a person sounds like he's talking sense or nonsense depends on his level of intelligence, expertise, coherence, overall appeal, and not to forget, whether you're truly interested in the subject. It's much more that the sole fact that he opened his mouth to talk.
You'll agree that if you find social gatherings full of nonsensical talk, there are innumerable number of best selling, award winning books that are full of nonsense too!
As you may have guessed, I'm a bit of both. I need both people and books. (And I find nonsense in both people and books!). But let's not get into that. This post is not about personality types. But instead what we need to focus on is the Magic of Solitude, which helps in two big ways.

Cotton Swab Car Tracks, Mazes & Cities (Practical Mondays #17)
What do you do when the power goes out? (i.e. when you suddenly, unexpectedly have no internet access for a full twenty minutes? *shudder* …*gasp*!!)
Well, THIS is what I did. Made use of two boxes of 200 cotton swabs (ear buds/ Q tips / cotton buds) each to build a track for my son's little toy car! We improvised further, to add on features likes bridges and tunnels and houses to make cities. And made mazes, with an agenda! To pick up all the pom poms and stickers before exiting the maze!
It has certainly been an exciting after school activity this week. Like the yarn tracks, this is easy to clean up too!

Practical Ways to Organise Kids' Stuff: What should be out, what should be not! (Practical Mondays #16)
I'm writing about organising Kid's stuff being fully aware that my son's room right now is littered with Lightning McQueen, Thomas & Percy on the carpet, an unfinished Lion King puzzle in one corner, and paints and brushes on his desk from the fish in the ocean art project last evening. The only time everything is absolutely clean and in order, are that those 10 minutes between my loving maid leaving and my son arriving from school!
But creative mess is better than idle neatness. And neat doesn't necessarily mean uncluttered! So while I look at mess as a fantastic sign of an active mind and time enjoyed (I know that he will complete the puzzle today!) I try not to lose focus on what's more important: displaying & storing my kid's stuff.
Having "all" toys out is likely to overstimulate and makes it difficult for children to pick and chose what they want to do, or stick with it for a while without distractions. Many toys go unnoticed for days because children develop a blind spot for them. It's best to keep most toys in inaccessible shelves or in cupboards while displaying a few (including the most favourite ones) outside.
Two principles that help with displaying Kid's Stuff:
- Accessibility, i.e. their stuff displayed at their height! Because it's their stuff! They should be independent and should be able to choose, pick out & put back their own things.
- Less is more! Less toys= more time devoted to each toy= less mess= balanced stimulation. So other than regular clothes, books & toys, the others should be out of reach & out of sight.

What Are the Impacts of Deforestation on the Harvest of Non-Timber Forest Products in Central Africa?

The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of forest transition on non-timber forest product (NTFP) harvesting in Central Africa. We analyze the evolution of several parameters, including distance from NTFP harvest site to road, proportion of dietary intake and villagers' incomes. The research is based on field surveys, participatory mapping and the geolocation of activities in three study sites representing different stages along the Mather's forest transition curve: (i) intact forest; (ii) partially degraded forest; and (iii) small areas of degraded forest with plantations of useful trees. The results show that the maximum distance from harvest site to road is higher in Site 2 compared to Site 1 as a consequence of a lower availability of NTFPs; and that this distance is significantly lower in Site 3 due to a drastically smaller village territory. The diversity of bushmeat decreases as game evolves from large to small species, commensurate with the progression of forest transition. As a consequence, there is also a reduction in the proportion of these products represented both in household dietary intake and cash income. This analysis establishes a strong link between the Mather's forest transition curve and a decline in the importance of NTFPs in village production and livelihoods.

The determinants of tropical forest deciduousness: disentangling the effects of rainfall and geology in central Africa

1. Understanding the environmental determinants of forests deciduousness i.e. proportion of deciduous trees in a forest stand, is of great importance when predicting the impact of ongoing global climate change on forests. In this study, we examine (i) how forest deciduousness varies in relation to rainfall and geology, and (ii) whether the influence of geology on deciduousness could be related to differences in soil fertility and water content between geological substrates. 2. The study was conducted in mixed moist semi-deciduous forests in the northern part of the Congo basin. We modelled the response of forest deciduousness to the severity of the dry season across four contrasting geological substrates (sandstone, alluvium, metamorphic and basic rocks). For this, we combined information on forest composition at genus level based on commercial forest inventories (62 624 0.5 ha plots scattered over 6 million of ha), leaf habit, and rainfall and geological maps. We further examined whether substrates differ in soil fertility and water-holding capacity using soil data from 37 pits in an area that was, at the time, relatively unexplored. 3. Forest deciduousness increased with the severity of the dry season, and this increase strongly varied with the geological substrate. Geology was found to be three times more important than the rainfall regime in explaining the total variation in deciduousness. The four substrates differed in soil properties, with higher fertility and water-holding capacity on metamorphic and basic rocks than on sandstone and alluvium. The increase in forest deciduousness was stronger on the substrates that formed resource-rich clay soils (metamorphic and basic rocks) than on substrates that formed resource-poor sandy soils (sandstone and alluvium). 4. Synthesis. We found evidence that tropical forest deciduousness is the result of both the competitive advantage of deciduous species in climates with high rainfall seasonality, and the persistence of evergreen species on resource-poor soils. Our findings offer a clear illustration of wellknown theoretical leaf carbon economy models, explaining the patterns in the dominance of evergreen versus deciduous species. And, this large-scale assessment of the interaction between climate and geology in determining forest deciduousness may help to improve future predictions of vegetation distribution under climate change scenarios. In central Africa, forest is likely to respond differently to variation in rainfall and/or evapotranspiration depending on the geological substrate. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 26 (7 ULg)

This paper presents a two-level real-time voltage control scheme to address the voltage violations in distribution grids hosting a significant number of Dispersed Generation Units (DGUs). The proposed scheme consists of a centralized and a local reactive power control. The local control provides fast response after a disturbance, reducing its impact and enhancing voltage quality. The centralized control relies on Model Predictive Control (MPC). It uses measurements collected throughout the network to bring the voltages inside desired limits. To do so, it adjusts in a coordinated way the reactive power set-points of the DGUs taking into account the local controls. The control method effectiveness has been evaluated on a 75-bus 11-kV test system hosting 22 DGUs. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 31 (8 ULg)

This work describes a centralized control for Multi-Terminal Direct Current (MTDC) grids. It is based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) whose aim is to satisfy a desired schedule, while avoiding or correcting any system limit violation. The central controller collects voltage and power measurements from the converters of the system in regular intervals and sends back converter power setpoints. The latter are calculated by solving a quadratic programming problem subject to linear constraints and using a simplified model for the DC system. In addition, the overall MTDC grid control structure including the local and the centralized controllers is described. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 24 (11 ULg)

The aim of this study was to simulate the uptake flow of nitrogen (gN m-2) of P. oceanica meadow for 4 primary producers of the bay of Calvi (Corsica, France) (phytoplankton, macro-algae, the Posidonia oceanica leaves and their epiphytes). The model developed for this purpose simulates the evolution of nitrogen incorporation. The effect of the light intensity, and the water column temperature and concentration in internal and external nitrogen on nitrogen incorporation by the 4 primary producers is modeled. Thus, the incorporation rate of both NO3-and NH4+by phytoplankton was more important than for benthic producers. Macro-algae incorporations had intermediate incorporation rates between the ones of, the phytoplankton and P. oceanic leaves and their epiphytes. The incorporation of NH4+ by the phytoplankton is higher than the incorporation of NO3-. The model appears well adapted to establish the main environmental factors that determine the incorporation of inorganic nitrogen by the various primary producers. It is also able to represent the relative importance of nitrogen incorporation by the various producers. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 13 (0 ULg)

La posidonie (Posidonia oceanica), forme en Corse des herbiers colonisant les substrats depuis la surface jusqu'à 40 m de profondeur. Ces herbiers jouent un rôle écologique essentiel en oxygénant le milieu grâce à la photosynthèse et en séquestrant du CO2 au sein de leur complexe racinaire dans le sédiment (ou "matte"). Ces activités métaboliques entraînent une importante modification des conditions biogéochimiques du substrat qui favorisent le maintien de la plante. Les herbiers de posidonie se développant dans les zones côtières, ils sont impactés par les activités anthropiques (urbanisation, pollution, fermes aquacoles, ancrage) qui peuvent entraîner d'importantes destructions et des régressions de leur zone de recouvrement. L'ancrage intensif dans les herbiers à faible profondeur y génère des trouées, ou "intermattes". Les destructions engendrées par les navires de petite taille (< 10 m) peuvent, dans certaines conditions, être recolonisées par la posidonie. Cependant certaines zones sont soumises à l'ancrage intensif de navires de plaisance de grande taille (> 20m), qui est susceptible de générer des intermattes d'une étendue plus importante. Ce phénomène d'expansion ne peut s'expliquer par la seule destruction mécanique. L'arrachage de la strate foliaire de la posidonie par les ancres semble entraîner de profondes modifications physiques et chimiques dans le sédiment. Un milieu anoxique défavorable à son développement paraît se créer. Des composés toxiques pour la plante, tel que le sulfure d'hydrogène (H2S), pourraient alors s'introduire dans ses tissues entraînant une limitation de son développement, voire sa disparition menant ainsi à une amplification des dégâts mécaniques de l'ancrage.

Very often the reason for using of X-Ray tomography in a research project is to measure the evolution of some geometrical characteristic. The sought characteristic may be explained in simple words like size, shape, or distance, but in practice measures based on these notions can have a complex implementation. We present a simple problem, measuring the evolution of radius in a cylindrical sample (a common shape for sample preparation for tomography) and how this value differs according the direction in which we look, when such evolution is known to be anisotropic. The solution is not unique, but we show that a naïve manual approach are not accurate enough, and how even a simple geometric notion such as radius needs a thorough definition in relation to its applicability to 3D image analysis. We extend the argument to how a good understanding of the notions and algorithms used in the quantification of geometrical characteristics can directly affect the pertinence and representativity of the results.

Temperate forests, as other ecosystems and oceans, mitigate the accumulation in the atmosphere of CO2, the main responsible for the current climate change. It is, therefore, a necessity to understand how these forests react and will react in a changing environment. That requires long-term monitoring of the environment. Tropospheric ozone is one parameter to monitor as it affects the forest by inducing oxidative stress once inside the leaves. Using 16 years of continuous data from an air quality monitoring station managed by the ISSeP (Institut Scientifique de Service Public) located in a mixed forest in east Belgium, we identified ozone concentration extreme events and we investigated their occurrence frequency as well as their relation with climatic variables and air components. As variables are subjected to daily, yearly and inter-annual dynamics, anomalies were used to detect extreme events. To obtain anomalies, we removed the previously mentioned dynamics from half-hourly raw data. Daily and yearly dynamics were removed first and explained 40% of the variability observed in half-hourly ozone concentrations. Then, the inter-annual dynamic was obtained by computing the yearly mean of the residuals, it accounted for 2% of the variability observed. A significant (p<0.01) decreasing trend was observed for these residuals. Determining if that trend is site specific or regionally observed can be done by applying the same analysis to the other sites from the network managed by the ISSeP. No significant trend in the yearly frequency and intensity of extreme events was observed. We used a stepwise regression to identify the variables that explain these extreme events. Significant relations were found between ozone concentration and climatic variables (vapor pressure deficit, temperature, radiation and wind direction) as well as other air components concentration (NO2, NO, NOX, CO). The next step will be to estimate the forest capacity to uptake ozone in order to predict ozone-induced damage and compared it to the CO2 uptake and H2O emissions measured in an ICOS site, the Vielsalm Terrestrial Observatory, located in the same forest at less than 300 meters from the air quality monitoring station.

Executive summary Applied to different contexts, the approach to management and HRM practices initially operative, considered by some as the essential and universal key to organizational success, may face some contextual constraints and lead to conflicting results. Now, the local context brings to the subsidiary of international organizations little or no opportunities for the Headquarters. At the same time, the local context adds specific constraints. The consideration of these opportunities and constraints by the officials of the subsidiary is a real managerial challenge for them. This implies much more than a simple transfer of what has always worked well elsewhere. This questioning of the success of the universalist perspective pushes us to diagnose other possible ways to suggest for the approach to management and HRM practices that could better accommodate the local management. Our study is particularly concerned with international NGOs operating in sub-Saharan Africa and Burundi in particular. Our theoretical argument mobilizes universalist, culturalist and institutionalist approaches. Our study concerns only the subsidiaries of international NGOs and not their Headquarters. Note that throughout our work, the word "Siège" means the Headquarters and not the local management of the subsidiary. To mark this distinction, we opt to write it with a capital "S". Based on a contextualist analysis of five case studies of subsidiaries of international NGOs, we find that, upon their arrival or within the first years of implementation of the subsidiary, the leaders of these international subsidiaries almost always opt for a relational or even paternalistic model of management. Indeed, this model allows a gain in confidence and the establishement of strong relationships between the expats and the locals, and between volunteers and employees. The latter model also helps to react or deal with the complexity of an unstable local context (civil war, hatred and ethnic conflicts, distrust versus foreigners, oral tradition culture, lack of separation between work and family life, lack of some skills in the labor market and poverty of the population). Beyond the local constraints, pressure from the Headquarters, and the donors' requirements often result in the evolution of the business model implemented during the establishment period. But toward what model is moving the subsidiary, why, how and what are the implications for HRM practices? This is the series of questions we try to answer throughout this work. To get there, we pay special attention to the power games, the identification of the most influential players, the relationships, the mechanisms of prevention and / or of conflict management and the mobilization around the common goal. Our study shows that the managers of subsidiaries have two possible choices of a position: control logic or adaptation logic. The results of our research argue for the second option to be the most favorable to take into consideration the local context and to contribute to the emergence of consistent and very innovative HRM practices. Our work shows that the model based on the adaptation logic is more effective when the appropriation of the Headquarters rule by the members of the subsidiary is dominated by joint regulation mechanisms, and when the management of the subsidiary is polyphonic for what concerns managing the evolution of contextual factors. In fact, the latter mechanisms lead to the organization, in due time, to a genuine process of organizational change. The polyphonic style is generally characterized by flexibility, autonomy, accountability, collaboration, cooperation within teams and the search for compromise to satisfy the essential interests of the different stakeholders, including those at Headquarters. However, we note that some managers, guided by rational mimicry derived from the culture of their country of origin and their experience elsewhere, tried control-based management resulting in the domination of regulatory mechanisms either autonomous or controlled. Our observation is that the control-based management model leads the subsidiary in a logic of submission or circumvention of the rules and practices developed by the parent company. This management model quickly faces major resistance from certain groups of stakeholders who feel that their interests are threatened. For example, internal conflicts occur in these subsidiaries at the expense of the cooperation and the achievement of desired results. Highlighting the importance of the local context and the relationships Headquarters- subsidiaries together with the role of the management style in the evolution of HRM practices in the local management of international NGOs working in unstable and specific context (land and sector insufficiently studied up to now), this study brings a great contribution to international management and intercultural management theory in general and sub-Saharan Africa in particular.

The current book series that the organizers have prepared is based on a past symposium held at the National Fall ACS Meeting, August 22-26, 2004, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This book will provide an additional forum for several speakers to present their latest results in coatings technology. The scope of this book covers all aspects of coatings: anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, specialty coatings and testing methods for coatings. The book would compliment several previous ACS book series based on coatings: ACS Symposium Series 689 "Organic Coatings for Corrosion Control," edited by Gordon P. Bierwagen, 1998 and ACS Symposium Series 843 "Electroactive Polymers for Corrosion Control," edited by Peter Zarras, John D. Stenger-Smith and Yen Wei, 2003 are targeted only to corrosion scientists and engineers. This symposium book the editors want to publish will reach a more diverse audience with topics that cover a wide variety of coating science. The primary market for this ACS symposium book is the polymer chemist and engineer. This ACS symposium book is focused on polymer synthesis, materials development, advanced applications for coatings and techniques for measuring a coatings performance in various environments. This book addresses current coating technologies geared for an organic-polymer chemist and chemical engineers perspective. The book would add to an academic, industrial or government laboratory inventory of coatings books. The secondary market that will benefit from this book is the paint industry. While normally the paint industry is more application orientated, this symposium series does cover several recent developments in coatings technology specifically geared toward the painting industry.
