The innate immune system is the first line of defense against many common microorganisms, which can initiate adaptive immune responses to provide increased protection against subsequent re-infection by the same pathogen. As a major family of antimicrobial peptides, defensins are widely expressed in a variety of epithelial cells and sometimes in leukocytes, playing an important role in the innate immune system due to their antimicrobial, chemotactic and regulatory activities. This review introduces their structure, classification, distribution, synthesis, and focuses on their biological activities and mechanisms, as well as clinical relevance. These studies of defensins in the innate immune system have implications for the prevention and treatment of a variety of infectious diseases, including bacterial ocular disease.

Re: Best Buy Card
I do not see any reason for them to pull your credit again or give you any more HPs. The only reason I see if they want to look at other CRs. I think they may have done that already if that was their intention. From what I understand they pull EQ exclusively. I know that Bestbuy had two banks that issued their cards at one point, HSBC (now Cap One) and someone else.

Hi Guys,
Right, I need to make a few custom pages on my wordpress blog, where I can query some new database tables I have added to the database.
Basically I want to output on the first page, a list of car manufacturers (Audi, Alfa, Ford....) which links into another page which will show all the models of the selected manufacturer.
Now I have all this set up in two databases already, makes, and models.
So what would I use to connect to these tables in the database, and output the query's im after.
I take it you wont use the usual
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM car_make ORDER BY make")

Over the past few weeks I have been losing time into fixing McAfee ePO Agent and Server issues, it's becoming a black hole for my productivity. I don't want to discuss those issues in this question.
What I want to know if anyone can share their experiences and/or recommendations for a small to medium office environment anti-virus solution. This would include a suite for Workstation/Server protection, Exchange Group Shield lookalike, Remote Admin management console etc...
So basically what ePO does for us at the moment.
We are a small sized business of < 20 people but need a solution that allows some scalability and some decent automation/remote admin control. Our environment is Windows and consists of everything from Win 2000 and up.
Alternate places like Kapersky, F-Secure, AVG etc etc... What options do they have, what are your experiences with them or what could you recommend me looking at.
Thanks in advance.

I've burned out on the site, outlived my usefulness, gotten sick of all the serial downvotes that don't go unreversed, given up on the clueless reviewers, and been fed up with seeing so many valid flags (from myself and others) rejected with "declined - a moderator reviewed your flag, but found no evidence to support it." Enjoy the mess you've made.
Things I don't do on Stack Exchange anymore:
- Flag link only answers - despite repeated claims that we should flag link-only answers, moderators still reject them. Why bother?
- Go into the Suggested Edit review queue; you people approve anything; plagiarized text, spam, gibberish. There's no critical thinking involved, just mashing of the "Approve" button. I'm tired of being the sole "Reject" vote.
- Go into the Triage/Help & Improvement queue; no one has any idea how to review these.

Fear them? No.
Distrust them? Absolutely!
Most LEO have issues with people because of their outlook on life. What other job do you know of where the employees have to ACTIVELY look for the bad things about you? Where they have to ACTIVELY distrust everything and everyone?
This takes a person with a certain mental mindset and very few qualify. What is bad is the fact that this particular mindset isn't healthy. It leads to high rates of paranoia and suicide among those who are disposed this way. It also encompasses higher divorce rates, illicit drug usage, and mental health issues.
I keep wondering why we let people with all these problems carry a gun and give their word greater weight than that of ordinary citizens. If it weren't for the badge and oath, these people would be classed as "nut jobs" by most.
I do not trust that sort of person but I do not fear them.

As we wrote yesterday, SkyTruth may have discovered a small but persistent leak or oily discharge from Platform #23051 in the Gulf of Mexico, unrelated to the ongoing BP / Deepwater Horizon oil spill. We see a small slick apparently emanating from the platform location on multiple satellite images taken since April 25, including yesterday's Envisat ASAR radar image.
According to MMS data, the platform is located at 28.938022 degrees North latitude, 88.970963 degrees West longitude. That's about 12 miles east-southeast of the tip of the South Pass outlet channel of the Mississippi River.
If anyone happens to be in the vicinity of this platform it would be great to get some observations, photos and/or video to document this possible leak or discharge.

Possible Leak From Platform 23051

So how do we track the "Plumes" that BP doesn't want anyone to know about?ReplyDelete
Gary - now that NOAA has acknowledged these plumes do exist, I'm hopeful the state and federal governments will support a research effort to systematically measure subsurface currents throughout the eastern Gulf, model the movement and dispersion of those plumes, and conduct sampling from the seafloor to the surface to map and monitor the extent of the subsurface oil.ReplyDelete

A bus driver who crashed a bus full of Wanganui college
students, teachers and parents near Taumaranui has been given
community work and disqualified from driving.
Raymond Hina, 57, was sentenced today on seven counts of
careless driving causing injury when he appeared in Whanganui
District Court.
The accident happened on September 23 last year after
witnesses saw the Hamilton-bound Tranzit bus speeding, and
braking heavily on corners on the wet road.
Judge David Cameron said a retired policeman was driving
behind the bus near Wanganui, and saw it accelerate away from
him while he was travelling 100kmh.
"It had been drizzling with rain and the road was wet," the
judge said.
"A truck driver had been following and he observed the bus
braking heavily on slight bends and down hills, causing him
concern - such that he pulled back and increased his
following distance."
On a moderate left hand bend on State Highway 4 near Piriaka,
Hina lost control of the bus, sending it into a slide. The
bus slid about 15 metres along a bank, with the rear end
lifting up and coming back down again.
Judge Cameron said seven victims out of the total 40
passengers were taken to Taumaranui Hospital with various
injuries, including a broken collarbone, lacerations and cuts
requiring stitches, back pain, a sore shoulder and a
concussion. They were all released later that day.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Rachel Willemsen said the victim
impact statements spoke mainly of emotional harm.
Defence lawyer Roger Crowley said Hina had pleaded guilty at
the first opportunity.
His client was popular with passengers, did regular driving
training courses and took "great pride in his work".
Judge Cameron said he needed to deter others from
carelessness, "particularly when in charge of a bus full of
"It seems to me there's an extra onus on someone in that
situation to be cautious."
He sentenced Hina to 80 hours' community work, and
disqualified him from driving for six months.

In a field experiment, we studied how levels of aggression in males and females in established pairs of the Banggai cardinalfish were influenced by the sex of an experimentally introduced individual larger and more attractive than its resident counterpart. Contrary to previous studies on other cardinalfish species, and contrary to expectations in a sex role reversed species, the male was the main aggressor towards an intruder. Moreover, residents were more aggressive towards an intruder of the same sex as themselves. Furthermore, even though females often courted introduced, larger males, no intruder managed to take over the partnership of any resident. We suggest that our findings imply relatively equal sex roles in the Banggai cardinalfish and we discuss the evolution of sex specific territory defence and its significance in the Banggai cardinalfish as well as the implications of such behaviour in the interpretations of sex roles in general.

Investigators are trying to determine what caused a fire that left a Weymouth dry cleaner with as much as $150,000 in damage Sunday night.
Fire fighters were sent to Fox Cleaners on Washington Street around 10:20 p.m. Sunday after the fire triggered the building's sprinkler system, according to the Weymouth Fire Department. Firefighters found the dry cleaner filled with heavy smoke, but were able to keep the fire from spreading to nearby storefronts in the Fox Plaza strip mall.
The dry cleaner was unoccupied at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported. Two vacant storefronts adjacent to the cleaners received some damage from water.

Choosing the correct degree plan worksheet: First-time Freshman or Transfer/Readmit
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is in the process of changing the course requirements for certification. While the new rules for certification requirements have been adopted by the State Board of Education, all Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs) in the state remain under the previous requirements in the compendium while procedures and processes are developed and implemented for EPPs to submit their new program requirements to DESE for approval.
Because all students graduating after SU-17 must meet the new certification requirements, students entering in FA-14 as first-time freshmen will be under the new rules. However, transfer or readmit students entering in FA-14 who are able to finish all certification requirements and graduate by SU-17 may finish under the compendium requirements which are currently still in effect. (Transfer/readmit students who will not be able to finish all certification requirements and graduate by SU-17 will also need to follow the degree plans for first-time freshmen.) Therefore, we have developed two sets of degree plan worksheets for the 2014-2015 catalog: one for first-time freshmen and one for transfer/readmit students who are able to finish all certification requirements and graduate by SU-17. It is critical that you select the correct degree plan worksheet if you are seeking initial teacher certification.

Whats wrong? How do i fix this? I know IE sucks and firefox is much better but unfortunately 2/3 of my site's visitors use IE.

text: In my stash, I had four matte white eyeliners and three shimmery/metallic white eyeliners, and I've compared them in this post. The finding? The matte white eyeliners are completely dupes of each other across all four shades, while the metallic white eyeliners are nearly dupes of each other, with one being minutely less bright. I like using white eyeliner to lighten other colors or to act as a base color when using eyeshadow on the lower lash line.Read Full Review

How RFID works at FloraHolland
January 27, 2011 - MMH Editorial
This story first appeared in the February 2007 issue of Modern Materials Handling
FloraHolland, Naaldwijk, Netherlands
Employees: 1,700 total employees
Annual Sales: $2 billion euros
Size: 1 million sq ft
Products: Fresh cut flowers
Throughput: 10,000 trolleys per day
The evening before delivery, buckets of fresh flowers are loaded onto trolleys at grower locations near the distribution center. Each trolley is uniquely identified with a permanent RFID tag. Once the trolleys are loaded on a truck, the grower sends an advance ship notification via EDI to FloraHolland. That information is also used to create a license plate bar code that identifies the flowers on the trolley.
Only the bar code is scanned at the receiving dock to check in the load. Using a touch screen computer, FloraHolland's receivers grade the flowers based on freshness and quality. They also manually enter the trolley's ID number from the RFID tag into the system. The trolley information and bar code information are now linked in FloraHolland's database.
Once received and graded, the flowers are delivered by a tugger to cooling areas, where they are stored until the daily auction begins. RFID reader antennas mounted at strategic locations in the floor track where the trolley is located and the length of time it takes to deliver a trolley from the dock to the cooling area.
Trolleys are pulled through the auction area by a chain conveyor. An RFID reader scans the RFID tag on the trolley. Based on that scan, information about the flowers on the trolley is retrieved from a database and displayed for buyers on an LED readout.
Once the flowers have been purchased, trolleys are delivered to a distribution area, where they are stored until the buyer takes ownership and arranges for delivery.
RFID blooms in Holland for FloraHolland
At FloraHolland, RFID technology moves flowers from the receiving docks to storage areas.

Hello, I would like to ask you for a help with my css.
I have recently installed my new website http://www.shadowblog.cz/ using WordPress 2.0.1 CMS and changed original template for a "dusk" template by Beccary (http://beccary.com/goodies/ ) which I have subsequently modified for my purposes. But I have one problem still left. Under IE: the margin tag defining space between floating images and text does not seem to work or at least the page is not loaded properly under IE - it doesn't show a defined margin around images. There's no gap between images and text and it looks very unaesthetic. Under FF or Opera everything works fine.
screenshot from IE: http://www.shadowblog.cz/1/IEshot.jpg
I use standard code in my style.css:
/* Begin Images */
p img {
padding: 0;
max-width: 100%;
.alignright {
float: right;
.alignleft {
float: left;
img.alignright, img[align="right"] {
padding: 0px;
margin: 3px 3px 1px 10px;
display: inline;
img.alignleft, img[align="left"] {
padding: 0px;
margin: 3px 10px 1px 3px;
display: inline;
img.centered {
padding: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
display: block;
/* End Images */
Thanks for any suggestions.
+ I have now remembered another thing. I have a problem with horizontal centering of images too. I have to use a following code to center images:

Don't you have any suggestions for a more subtle solution? With img.centered style? Adding class "centered" to img tag doesn't center image for me.
Again. Thanks in advance for your help and ideas.

John Lehmann The Globe and Mail Published Friday, May 09, 2014 1:43PM EDT Last updated Tuesday, May 13, 2014 5:50PM EDT The type of black bear native to northwestern B.C. forests was spotted on the Nisga'a Highway Thursday Comments Print /License AA Tourists visiting northwestern B.C. can shell out thousands for guided bear-viewing tours with no guarantee of seeing a Spirit Bear. Globe and Mail staff photographer John Lehmann was fortunate enough to spot one while driving on the Nisga'a highway.While on assignment in the region this week, Mr. Lehmann spotted the bear from his car, stopped and snapped the photo below. It was a stroke of luck since the Spirit Bear, also known as the Kermode Bear, is unique to the Great Bear Rainforest – and only about 10 per cent of the population of this black bear subspecies has the recessive gene that results in white fur. The middle of May sees bear-watching season come alive, so it's possible Mr. Lehmann won't be the only one to take a shot of this particular bear this year.Words by Mason Wright John Lehmann/The Globe and Mail Report Typo/Error Follow John Lehmann on Twitter: @johnlehmann

I need to add additional non-WordPress pages to my site with the same look and feel as the rest of the blog. These pages use pretty intensive scripts and I do not want to run them from WordPress pages using a plugin for PHP scripting.
I'm using .php pages and have at the top of the page as:
define("WP_USE_THEMES", false);
This also allows me to call functions like: get_header(), get_sidebar(), and get_footer(), so these pages look like the rest of the site.
This gives me great flexibility on these pages, but I would like to allow people to read and write comments on these pages, just like they were full WordPress pages.
What I'm thinking is, maybe creating posts in WordPress that correspond to these pages, and set them in a hidden category. After that, maybe I could set some kind of variable on these non-WordPress pages to tell WordPress that I'm loading variables from that page, load those comments, and create a form so posted variables are associated with that page.
Is this possible? I'm hoping this might also help me with the problem with my <title> tag, as it is defaulting to "DOMAIN - Home". Maybe if WordPress is told somehow that I'm loading a certain page it would give its title too.

Brushy Creek, from around 1850 until the 1930s, was home to the Anderson County Campground, a site used primarily by the Methodists, but other faiths also for revivals and other religious meetings. A rudimentary brush arbor built in 1870 still stands here and is well worth the trip to see its hand hewn beams and other pioneer construction techniques still functioning to purpose in a beautiful sylvan setting. Take the time to look the tabernacle over, read the historical marker, and see the old Brushy Creek Methodist Church building while on site, and remember to watch for deer while traveling roads leading to the location.
The Brushy Creek Community is located on FM837, 9.5 miles southwest of Frankston. You can get there also by traveling south on 315 from Poynor, and from Athens by taking 19 west to Bradford and then left on 837. From Palestine follow 315 south.
From the crossroads of FM837 and FM315 in Brushy Creek head west on 837. Arbor will be seen almost immediately on the left. Park in front and follow the walking path
along the left side of the arbor with handrails leading downhill toward the spring surrounded by an ornamental iron fence. Standing at the corner of the iron fence closet to the arbor, with back to arbor and facing the same direction of the path leading uphill toward the Methodist church, walk 14 steps and stop. There is a large pine on a knoll to the right. To the right of this tree, six steps down into a gully, stands another pine of similar size. To the right of the second pine five steps upward on another knoll stands yet a third pine of similar size. Behind the third tree you will find the box covered in debris. Please re-hide well in the same spot.

In a press release, the Brazos Valley Bombers have stated that they are cancelling their fireworks show this evening.
"As we're all aware, the Brazos Valley and the state of Texas have been hit with another tough drought this summer. The dangers caused by such a drought have forced officials to institute a burn ban for the area, and rightfully so. After long deliberations all the way till this morning, the Brazos Valley Bombers concur with this policy, and so it's with a heavy heart that the Bombers organization announces that we are cancelling the 3D fireworks show for tonight.
"The popularity of our fireworks this summer has been incredible. We've enjoyed seeing the smiles on the faces of our fans, beaming as bright as the fireworks that light up the sky. As much as we will miss those moments tonight, we would never do anything to jeopardize the safety of our fans.
"Take heart, though, that the excitement will continue at American Momentum Bank Ballpark tonight and tomorrow for the first playoff game. The Bombers remain the top destination in the Brazos Valley for affordable family fun.
"Like all of you, we can't wait a break in this oppressive drought and a chance to finally light up the night sky with a fireworks show at the ballpark. In the meantime, we look forward to enjoying a Bombers game with you and your family sometime soon."

In the Shadow of Gotham (Paperback)
Dobson, New York, 1905.
Detective Simon Ziele lost his fiancee in the General Slocum ferry disaster a thousand perished on that summer day in 1904 when an onboard fire burned the boat down in the waters of the East River. Still reeling from the tragedy, Ziele transferred to a police department north of New York, to escape the city and all the memories it conjured.
But only a few months into his new life in a quiet country town, he's faced with the most shocking homicide of his career to date: Young Sarah Wingate has been brutally murdered in her own bedroom in the middle of an otherwise calm and quiet winter afternoon. After just one day of investigation, Simon's contacted by Columbia University's noted criminologist Alistair Sinclair, who offers a startling claim about one of his patients, Michael Fromley that the facts of the murder bear an uncanny resemblance to Fromley's deranged mutterings.
But what would have led Fromley, with his history of violent behavior and brutal fantasies, to seek out Sarah, a notable mathematics student and a proper young lady who has little in common with his previous targets? Is Fromley really a murderer, or is someone mimicking him?
This is what Simon Ziele must find out, with the help of the brilliant but self-interested Alistair Sinclair before the killer strikes again.
With this taut, atmospheric, and original story of a haunted man who must search for a killer while on the run from his own demons, Stefanie Pintoff's "In the Shadow of Gotham" marks the debut of an outstanding new talent, the inaugural winner of the Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America Best First Crime Novel Competition.

No insurance? You can see a doctor at new Houma clinic
Published: Thursday, January 19, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 19, 2006 at 11:35 a.m.
HOUMA -- Staff at a new Houma clinic say they plan to improve the overall health of the community by making a variety of health-care services more available to residents with low incomes, no health insurance or insufficient insurance coverage.
The Teche Action Clinic at Houma opened its doors Tuesday. The clinic is in a 4,200 square-foot modular building next to the Terrebonne Council on Aging offices on West Tunnel Boulevard in Houma. Workers said they had seen at least 35 to 40 patients, mostly from Houma, by mid-day Wednesday.
Dr. Gary Wiltz, CEO of Teche Action Clinic, said he expects the new site to attract 3,000 to 5,000 patients within the first year, especially those without health insurance or who have coverage through Medicaid or Medicare.
Though the clinic is open to people of all ages and income levels, the clinic aims to help medically under-served residents, usually the poor and uninsured, gain access to basic health care.
"Were here to be part of the safety net," Dr. James LaNasa III told a group of seniors seated in the clinics waiting room Wednesday. LaNasa, who served at the Teche Action Clinic at Dulac, will offer internal-medicine services at the Houma clinic.
The new clinic also offers family medicine, pediatrics, adult medicine, mental-health services, dental care, family planning, an on-site pharmacy, and KIDMED, a Medicaid program that offers regular health screenings for children.
The site employs about 12 workers, including a family nurse-practitioner, family psychiatric nurse-practitioner, pharmacist, pharmacy tech, dentist, dental assistant, nurse, nurses aide and office staff.
The clinic sits on a piece of Terrebonne Council on Aging property. The organization is allowing the clinic to use the property in exchange for the clinics help in filling prescriptions for local elderly participating in SenioRx, a program that connects seniors with discounted medicine. The Council on Aging will also help by getting patients to the clinic through its rural-transit service and the transportation service it provides to the elderly, disabled and Medicare recipients.
"I think this is going to be wonderful," said Mary Thibodeaux, manager of the Chauvin Senior Center, who escorted a group of 12 seniors to the clinic Wednesday. "Its going to help out a lot of the people."
The Houma site is one of three satellite clinics operated by Franklin-based Teche Action Board, created in 1974 as part of a federal effort to fight health-care disparity. The federal government began developing community-health centers such as Teche Action Clinic 40 years ago to improve care for those in need. More than half of the Teche Action Boards board of directors must be people who use the clinics, an untraditional setup that ensures the center operates in the patients best interest, Wiltz said.
The board operates the Teche Action Clinic in Franklin, as well as satellite clinics in Edgard and the Ashland community south of Houma. The Ashland site was originally in Dulac, but moved into a modular building on higher ground following hits from Tropical Storm Isidore and Hurricane Lili in 2002.
Federal grant money is used to operate the clinics, along with reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid, private insurance and payments from patients.
Teche Action Clinics mission is to serve everyone at his or her ability to pay, Wiltz said.
Patients must provide proof of income, which clinic staff compares to the federal poverty level to determine how much each patient pays. Most uninsured patients pay a $10 fee for services, Wiltz said.
The clinic will help locals access various types of primary care, such as internal medicine and dentistry, helping them avoid emergency-room visits and developing serious illnesses, LaNasa said.
"Were trying to present a complete package of care," he said.
Besides multiple exam rooms and dental chairs, the clinic will feature a 300 square-foot pharmacy, to open in February or March. Until then, patients can receive medications through the centers pharmacy in Franklin. The pharmacy will offer medicine through Medicare drug plans, private insurance and on a sliding scale for those without insurance. Most patients pay $5 to $12 for their prescriptions, instead of $20 to $80 or more, said William Brent, chief financial officer for Teche Action Clinic.
The building also includes a small lab for minor lab tests and a waiting room that seats about 25 people, he said.
Though Wiltz planned to open the Houma site in March, delays in land preparation, transporting the modular building and hurricanes Katrina and Rita moved the clinics debut to this week.
Like the clinic in Ashland, Teche Action leaders expect the Houma clinic to complement services offered by Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center, a state-run charity hospital in Houma. The clinic could help relieve Chaberts overwhelmed outpatient clinics, allowing patients quicker access.
The clinic in Ashland acts as a family doctor for about 3,000 Terrebonne residents, most of them Native Americans, according to Wiltz. About 68 percent of those visiting the clinic have an income at or below the federal-poverty level. That clinic offers family medicine, family planning, Medicaid enrollment, specialty referrals and a nutritional program for pregnant women and their young children.
"We were so well received down in Dulac. We anticipate the same sort of reception here in Houma," Wiltz said. "Weve really enjoyed taking care of folks down in south Louisiana."
The Teche Action Clinic at Houma will host a grand opening sometime in February. For information, call the clinic at 851-1717.

Shanghai Jiaotong University, the oldest in the city, is celebrating its 110th birthday and the life and achievements of its remarkable founder. Sheng Xuanhuai (1844-1916) was a senior official of the Qing dynasty and was one of its most important industrialists, who set up China's first domestic shipping company, steel mill, telecommunications firm and railway.
A close adviser of prime minister Li Hongzhang, Sheng personally witnessed the defeat of the Qing armies at the hands of the European powers and Japan, and the treaties his government was forced to sign. He determined that the only way to compete with the foreigners was to learn their technologies and languages, and he became one of the country's leading modernisers.
To his great chagrin, not everyone in the government agreed. After British merchants paid for the construction of China's first railway, between Shanghai and Wusongkou in 1876, the governor of the province decided to pay them 280,000 taels of silver to buy it, rip up the tracks and build a temple on the site to atone for the 'mistake' - as he saw it - of building the line.
Sheng's greatest legacy was the foundation of the Nanyang Public School on land he bought in the Xujiahui district of Shanghai in 1896, which became Jiaotong University. 'Our diplomats are trained in foreign languages, but their perspective is too narrow. They cannot see far and long enough,' he said.
He saw it as a place to train people for the government, industry and commerce, equipped with a base in Chinese culture and philosophy, and the tools of science and technology from the west. He also set up schools and colleges in Beijing, Tianjin , Shanghai and Wusong.
'People laugh at me and say that the results of my work are slow,' he said. 'It takes 10 years to train a person. If 10 years is too long and we do nothing, then after 10 years we will have no one [ready for diplomacy].'
In 1902, after China's first student protest at the university over the issue of scholastic freedom, Yuan Shikai, one of the strongest military figures in China, ordered Sheng to close the university and stop providing scholarships. But Sheng defied him, saying that it was too important to close. He served as its chancellor until 1905.
Sheng died in Shanghai in 1916, but what he founded has achieved a lot since then. A survey by The Times Higher Education Supplement last November rated Jiaotong as the 169th best in the world, and fifth among mainland universities. More than 200 members of China's academies of science and engineering are alumni of Jiaotong. It now has 20 schools in the fields that Sheng envisaged, such as naval architecture, engineering, medicine and foreign languages.

Strategic Response under Market and Institutional Uncertainty in the Tanzanian Food Processing IndustryHansen, Michael W.; Langevang, Thilde; Rutashobya, Lettice; Urassa, Goodluck (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Infant industry structures, weak institutions, wide spread market failures and lack of trust permeate the Tanzanian business environment. Nevertheless, some local enterprises succeed in overcoming these challenges. This paper seeks to understand the strategies of these enterprises. Drawing on case studies of Tanzanian enterprises in the food processing industry, we identify six generic coping strategies which contrast markedly with the kind of strategies conventional strategic management thinking would prescribe: Instead of focus strategies, Tanzanian enterprises diversify across industries and value chain functions; Instead of competitive strategies, Tanzanian enterprises embark on network and political strategies; And instead of internationalizing based on home-market strengths, Tanzanian enterprises internationalize in response to home-market weaknesses. We characterize the strategies adopted by Tanzanian enterprises and discuss implications for the strategic management literature. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9200

Report from a workshop 6-8 September 2010Schaumburg-Müller, Henrik; Jeppesen, Søren; Langevang, Thilde (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper is a report from the workshop on Entrepreneurship Development arranged by the Centre for Business and Development Studies at CBS and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in September 2010. The objective of the workshop was to use the participants' joint knowledge and experiences to discuss and provide conclusions on what role entrepreneurship development has played and can play to stimulate growth and employment in Africa. Entrepreneurship development is understood as the promotion and development of activities and processes that foster and support productive entrepreneurship in the society. The workshop should provide inputs to how entrepreneurship in Africa can be supported and be used in the development and implementation of the "Growth and Employment" priority of the new Danish strategy for development cooperation. The workshop had twenty participants with long standing insight to the challenges of entrepreneurship development and employment growth in Africa from international organizations, development cooperation partners, universities and private enterprises and organizations. The report contains the key issues discussed at the workshop and ends with conclusions and recommendations. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8208

This heater is by far the best portable heater I have ever owned. The remote control helps as well as the revolving of the tower. The height of the heating units from the floor, is helpful as I am not as worried about the carpet getting too hot.
This thing does sound like a jet engine taking off.... and gives off VERY little heat. I sat 2 feet in front of it and felt some luke warm air being blasted at me. Yah.. blasted... the "jet engine" sound comes from the very powerful fan...... it blows a lot of air, but too bad it isn't WARM air..even on high.
I bought it last night and I'm taking it back today.
Do not buy this heater! I thought this would be great since it is made by Holmes but it is just a waste of money. My small heater works better than this. This heater is big but hardly any heat comes out. The only thing good about this heater is the look. Do not buy this unless you want junk!
What a waste of money! I thought they had changed the flight pathes into the airport. Moved heater within 5' of my bed and still felt "warm" air with the unit set on high and temp on 80. I have purchased other Holmes products in the past, but boy did they get this one wrong!
I bought this heater/fan as a gift and they absolutely love it. I think it is a great overall value for the functionality and price point. The only thing I wish was that it was a little higher off the ground..but she compensated for that by placing it on the dresser.
While having a very accurate thermostat and doing the job to heat up a room, this thing sounded like a jet engine was taking off each time it turned on. My two year old did not sleep well because of the noise so I had to return the product for something else.
Don't get this heater... The guy that posted saying it sounds like a jet taking off, wasn't kidding. I just bought it, and it's extremely loud. It's hard to heat my living room with this, and I'm bringing it back tomorrow and getting a different one.
This heater has made me the envy of my office. :) I have people stopping by just to get warm. I like the fact that it oscillates & has a stand so it's up a bit higher than the other heaters. It's also got a remote control which is very handy.
This heater is very loud. It doesn't heat as well as my small heater does. I used it about three months then it wouldn't heat at all. This heater isn't worth the time to take it home if it was free.
It comes out of the box looking flimsy but this heater gets the job done! It can get medium sized rooms toasty warm but I use this as a secondary heater on days when it gets really cold.
This heater has a cooling cycle at the end of the heat cycle. During this cooling cycle the unit actually blows cool air. Not what you want when your in the market for a heater.
This heater is very efficient and we love the romote control. It does make noise from the fan, but a small price to pay for the warmth and convience.
Seen this in other reviews about being to loud. I got it on special anyway. Took it back.

Nov. 18: A Classical Christmas
NMHU Madrigal Choir
Ilfeld Auditorium. 3 p.m. Tickes $5 (HU Students free with ID)
During the NMHU-Colorado Mines football game last September, it was alleged that some of the football players made threats to the Mines Cheerleaders, and a complaint was made against HU that resulted in a RMAC conference call over this matter.
The results of that call have been not made public, but this writer is requesting the full particulars under the FOI (Freedom of Information) Act, since this is public record. When the information is known, and there's full veracity to what was said will be republished here on this Forum.
From today's New Mexican: "The city of Santa Fe has spent more than $1 million to purchase water rights in the Middle Rio Grande Basin in the last five years, in an effort to stabilize the municipal water supply for the future. Officials have already approved spending nearly $1 million more on pending purchases."
The good news in this story for Santa Fe area residents is obvious, and such a headline in our local paper about our local situration would be music to most ears.
The New Mexico Highlands University Madrigal Choir presents A Modern Folk Fiesta concert Nov. 21, at 3 p.m., in Ilfeld Auditorium. The concert features folk music from Spain, Ireland, Germany, the Philippines, Canada, Russia, France, Africa, China, Israel and India, as well as American pieces.
The nation's largest retail farm and ranch supply store is coming to the Las Vegas area, creating an estimated 12-17 full- and part-time jobs. The company claims their typical store has 15,000-24,000 square feet of inside selling space with a similar amount of outside space used to display agricultural fencing, livestock equipment and horse stalls.
Dec. 1 and 2: Les Miserables: A Review
HU Singers
Ilfeld Auditorium 7 p.m. (Saturday), 3 p.m. (Sunday) Tickets: $5 (HU Students free with ID)
The Optic should pubish a list of the "movers and shakers" who recently toured the Las Vegas and Raton watersheds on Highlands-organized tips, so that citizens can chat with them about what they learned in the process.
Getting the latest information on our watershed and our options straight from the folks who have this added knowledge would help us make better decisions about water.
Some of our problems originated a century ago and have persisted without a whole lot of movin'and shakin' going on.
So, how convenient was my convenience center for voting today? The actual voting went smoothly and quickly, but the overall experience was less convenient than the old way. My nearest center, Mike Marr Gym, is twice as far from my house as my old precinct polling place. Knowing only that the Gym was a convenience center, I went to the front of the gym. There a sign said to go down the stairs, but no stairs were visible. The front doors, which could have led to stairs, were locked.
J.D. Vasquez a career educator and administrator with the Las Vegas City Schools, died over the weekend. Since the Monday Optic hit the streets before the weekend, notice of services for Mr. Vasquez will not appear in time. So here is the scoop. There will be graveside service for Mr. Vasquez at the Masonic Cemetery Monday morning at 10 a.m. and a memorial service and lunch starting at 1 p.m. at the First United Presbyterian Church of Las Vegas, 1000 Douglas Ave.

CARSON, Calif. -- Chanda Rubin came from behind in the final
set Monday night for a 6-1, 1-6, 7-6 (5) victory over qualifier
Marissa Irvin in the opening round of the JPMorgan Chase Open.
Rubin, who won the event two years ago, overcame a 4-1 deficit
to take a 6-5 lead in the final set, then closed out the tiebreaker
with an overhead on her second match point. The 28-year-old player
is seeded 14th and has played sparingly this year as she recovers
from a left knee inflammation.
"I definitely felt it was an important match for me to go out
and try to win," Rubin said. "My knee feels like it's OK. ... I
don't think I'm getting as much force, especially on some of the
groundstrokes. But I'm pushing through that."
Rubin beat Lindsay Davenport in the final to win the event in
2002, when it was last played in Manhattan Beach.
Earlier, Ashley Harkleroad took another step in her comeback
with a 6-3, 6-2 victory Monday over Shinobu Asagoe.
Harkleroad is trying to recapture her form after a four-month
layoff caused by a torn ligament in her right elbow. The
19-year-old player dropped out of the top 100 in the rankings.
She lost her first two service games and fell behind 3-0 before
winning eight games in a row to take control of the match.
"It took me a while to get a feel for the match, and then I
started to play well and did the things I needed to do,"
Harkleroad said. "My game is coming together. I was aggressive
when I needed to be."
She advanced to a second-round meeting Tuesday night with
second-seeded Venus Williams.
No. 11 Francesca Schiavone, the highest seeded player in action
on the opening day of the $585,000 tournament, moved into the
second round with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Shenay Perry. But Akiko
Morigami beat No. 12 Silvia Farina-Elia 6-2, 6-4, and Anca Barna
defeated No. 13 Fabiola Zuluaga 6-1, 6-1.
Sixteen-year-old Jessica Kirkland, ranked 284th on the WTA Tour,
beat 56th-ranked Tathiana Garbin 6-1, 6-3.
Another qualifier, 227th-ranked Lilia Osterloh, beat 45th-ranked
Saori Obata, 7-5, 7-5. Anne Kremer, who lost in the final round of
qualifying but got into the main draw when Maria Elena Camerin
withdrew, capitalized on that break with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-0 win over
Laura Granville.
Nathalie Dechy, Tina Pisnik, Marion Bartoli and Jelena Kostanic
also advanced.

People whose marriages seem solid are often blindsided with the revelation that their spouses have been unfaithful — financially.
It happens often. In one out of every three couples, one spouse admits to lying to his or her partner about money, according to a 2014 survey by the National Endowment for Financial Education. In addition, 76% of those surveyed said financial deception has adversely affected their relationships.
Those of us who provide holistic financial advice — that is, helping couples manage all aspects of their financial situation, not just their investments — are in a great position to help prevent financial infidelity or, when it does occur, to serve as dispassionate counselors and mediators.
MONEY TIPS: Americans need a financial wake-up call
WANT A FINANCIAL ADVISER? Do your homework
OFFBEAT COLLECTIBLES: They can make you money
And we deal with this often; my colleagues and I often feel equal parts marriage counselor and financial planner. When a case of financial infidelity comes to our attention, we use the same approach that we use to prevent it: encourage open, honest dialogue.
But we can't force disclosure; we can only encourage couples to see that it's in their best interest to disclose financial secrets that could be hurting them. We're careful not to put ourselves in the middle of a personal issue or to disclose client confidentiality.
Sex, lies . . . and overspending
Sometimes, though, when it's obvious to both partners that something's amiss—usually because numbers don't add up — we speak factually and bluntly. In one recent case, a couple came to us for help in eliminating $50,000 in credit card debt. A detailed review of their situation revealed that $300,000 in net income earned over the past five years was unaccounted for —and neither spouse could explain where the money might have gone.
So I offered my own observation. "In my experience," I told them, "there are only four reasons that money seems to vanish with no explanation."
I waited for a reaction. It didn't take long — maybe 10 seconds — for the wife to exclaim, "Well, what are they?" I calmly replied. "A marital affair, drug or alcohol addiction, a gambling problem or compulsive shopping." She burst out laughing, saying none of that is possible in their case.
Her husband looked away and said nothing—causing her to stop laughing and stare at him. The conversation during their drive home was either the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. Usually it's the latter, but once or twice I've seen it become the former.
One of my colleagues came up with a simple tactic we use to dissuade our clients from hiding spending from their spouses: He simply gets his married clients to agree that each can spend a preset amount each month, however he or she wishes. They aren't required to ask permission of the other or tell their partner about it. That allows both to spend some cash without guilt and without damaging either their relationship or their financial plan.
Whenever we encounter a couple worried about or involved in financial infidelity, we offer suggestions such as these:
• Never hide income or debt from your spouse. Instead, show all your financial documents—including your credit report, pay statements, bank records, insurance policies, debts and investments—to each other, especially if you have never done it before.
• Don't discuss money when you are angry or arguing. If you suspect something's amiss, be delicate. Instead of blindsiding your spouse, mention that you'd like to talk about money and then set a date in the near future to do so. Be sure to select a place when you will be free of interruption and stress.
• Keep the conversation casual, even though the subject is serious. Respect the fact that each of you has valued opinions and concerns. Allow your spouse to express his or her views without interrupting.
• Don't cast blame. That serves no useful purpose, because everyone already knows all this. Focus instead on how you can both move forward. Otherwise, the conversation might end abruptly and negatively.
• Be honest about your financial situation. If you have accumulated substantial debt through unwise spending, make your spouse aware of it. Don't omit embarrassing aspects of your situation or try to dismiss them as unimportant.
• Be willing to adjust your spending habits and lifestyle as necessary — even if you feel the problems are your spouse's fault.
• Discuss yours and your spouse's long-held financial attitudes. Most of the feelings we have about money were developed in childhood.
• If one of you is a saver and the other a spender, understand that there are benefits to both mind-sets. Agree to learn from each other.
This kind of dialogue should be ongoing. That way, should a sensitive issue arise, a quick discussion likely will resolve it. Other issues might involve more effort and lengthier chats — and that's when you might want to bring us in as a disinterested third party and mediator. Among other things, we advisers can help you:
• Deal with "surprises" uncovered from earlier, private discussions.
• Decide which of you will pay the monthly expenses and keep the records.
• Set aside some discretionary spending money each month.
• Set short- and long-term financial goals.
• Agree on a policy regarding lending money to family and friends.
• Decide how to care for aging parents.
Studies show that financial infidelity occurs evenly across all income levels and both sexes. It's harmful — both financially and emotionally. Should it occur in your family, remember that an objective, experienced financial advisor can help you.

To make multiple video files more/faster comparable it would be recommended to
make columns like bitrate, width, height and duraction right-adjusted.
Duration "minutes" should not be abbreviated "mn" but according to international standard
with "m".
Single digit minute and second values should be prepended by a blank " " or "0" to have a "column effect" with other video files.

Hey, I'm Atif & Andrea!
Toronto, Canada · Member since September 2012
We are a married couple, both teachers, from Toronto, Canada. We enjoy spending time with our son born in Dec. 2013, travelling, experiencing new cultures, fitness, good eats, sports and reading. Amongst our many travels we also spent 6 months living overseas in China and travelling SE Asia. We now run as a pack of 2.5 with our son, who we hope will get to see and experience new things around the world with us :)
