How could anyone write about a serial killer and make that man a hero?
How could this killer, Dexter Morgan, become the focus of a series of books and television shows?
Ask Jeff Lindsay, the keynote speaker at the Writers Conference for the Florida Heritage Book Festival. He'll tell you all about Dexter Morgan, the killer who seeks out all the "bad guys."
Lindsay will tell you the gory stories Thursday evening, fortunately with a lot of comic relief. Bloody images are on the covers of his books. Inside, though, are stories laced with humor and good writing. Walk into any library and they know who "Dexter" is. One librarian said immediately, "Dexter is very popular."
Lindsay has had multiple careers — too long to include in this article, Most of his occupations are related to the dramatic field. He lists working with Steve Allen as one of his jobs. But he is as enthusiastic about cooking as he is killing off the bad guys in his novels.
He said, "cooking is therapeutic." Then he added that his wife, Hilary Hemingway, doesn't like to cook. Ironically, he cut himself once while cooking — "I splattered blood all over the kitchen." Since that is his symbolism for his Dexter character it seems appropriate.
Hilary is Ernest Hemingway's niece and will be available to receive an award for her uncle during the Literary Legends banquet Friday.
When asked about his relationship to Hilary Hemingway he said it was "an arranged marriage." He said his sister and her sister were best friends. The families simply made it work and it still is working.
With such a varied career, the question was raised about what he liked best. Lindsay said, "Whatever I am not doing now." He is working on a movie with his wife.
Lindsay and Hemingway live in southwestern Florida.
Both will be available during the Florida Heritage Book Festival, Sept. 13 through 15.
Jeff Lindsay will speak Thursday evening as the opening keynote speaker. There is a cost of $10 in advance or $15 at the door.

The Arena Castelao, the first of Brazil's 2014 World Cup stadiums to be completed, held its first matches on Sunday - a doubleheader in the northeastern Copa do Nordeste.
But despite the inspiration of having World Cup record goalscorer Ronaldo in the stands of the stadium opened by President Dilma Rousseff last month the teams managed only one goal to mark the occasion.
Fortaleza and Sport drew 0-0 before Bahia beat Ceara 1-0 with a goal from former Brazil and Manchester United midfielder Kleberson.
The matches were preceded by a ceremony attended by Ronaldo, Brazil's sports Minister Aldo Rebelo, FIFA general secretary Jerome Valcke and Jose Maria Marin, president of the Brazilian Football Confederation.
Sunday's matches in the Gaucho championship in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul were canceled after the tragic deaths of more than 200 people in a fire at a night club in the city of Santa Maria.
The state's top clubs Internacional and Gremio posted messages on their websites declaring three days of mourning and put their flags at half mast in their stadiums.
The main attraction was to have been former Brazil coach Dunga's first game in charge of Internacional at Caxias.
Brazilian champions Fluminense drew 1-1 with Botafogo in the season's first major "classico" in the Carioca (Rio) championship.
Fluminense, also the Carioca champions, went ahead through winger Wellington Nem after a one-two with right back Bruno in the 38th minute.
Botafogo hit back after the interval when former Dutch international Clarence Seedorf, who came on as a substitute, crossed for central defender Bolivar to head the equalizer.
Brazil ace Neymar saved Santos from defeat with a last minute penalty, his fourth goal in three matches, for a 1-1 draw with Bragantino in the Paulista (Sao Paulo) championship.
Neymar, who helped Santos win the Paulista title the last three years, was tightly marked and unable to repeat his brilliant performances of previous matches.

Washington - City Guide
Moving to D.C. - A Washington, DC City Guide
Washington, DC, home to the world's most powerful democracy, is a city of unique character; boasting an intricate history and fantastic cultural diversity. Washington welcomes a wide assortment of elected and appointed officials, foreign emissaries, government workers, and people of every trade and background, as well as families that go back multiple generations. Beyond the politics and power struggles that define our nation's capital, DC offers its residents great variety in culture, dining and entertainment. Whether you were born and raised in the District or are just relocating to Washington for the first time, DC is a fantastic place to call home.
The District of Columbia was established in 1790, designated by the Constitution of the United States, and it is the center of all three branches of the federal government of the United States. U.S. Congress has supreme authority over DC - although it is governed by a locally elected mayor and city council – so local laws may be overturned. Washington has a non-voting Congressional Delegate, and no senators. In fact, residents of DC were only allowed to vote in presidential elections as recently as 1961, when the Twenty-third Amendment to the Constitution was ratified to give voting rights to DC residents. For this reason, you may see "Taxation Without Representation" on D.C. license plates, as residents of the District pay taxes but have restricted self-governance compared to residents of the rest of the country.
Getting Around
Washington is situated along the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, bordered by the states of Maryland and Virginia. The city is easy to navigate, offering many public transportation options, from the Amtrak and Marc trains that will take you in or out of the city, to the subway underground ("The Metro"). There's also the bus system and even a free shuttle connecting different parts of the city. Washington experiences hot, humid summers and mild fall and winter seasons. Springtime in D.C. is famous for "Cherry Blossom Season", when the city's thousands of assorted cherry trees – a gift from Japan approximately one century ago – color the city with pink and white blossoms.
Residents of DC enjoy some of the best cuisine our country has to offer, featuring great food for any palate. The city is brimming with top Zagat-rated restaurants and celebrity chefs, and also offers plenty of home-style restaurants and great eating spots for the whole family. For a taste of history, visit Old Ebbitt Grill, which was established in 1856 and is known to have been a favorite of Presidents Grant, Cleveland, Harding and Theodore Roosevelt. Famous for its oyster bar, the Grill is still a popular spot among tourists and locals for drinking and dining today. Another trendy meeting spot for residents of DC, tourists and political insiders, Clyde's of Chinatown, offers extensive seating and a family-friendly American menu. Whether you sit down at a white tablecloth upstairs, or find yourself perched next to a member of Congress at the bar, Clyde's has something for everyone. In historic Georgetown, take a walk along the Waterfront and dine at Farmers and Fishers, for an all-organic menu, or Sequoia, for fine dining and a breathtaking view of the Potomac. If you're in the mood for more casual fare, try the crab rangoon at Chinatown Garden, or enjoy a burger and a beer while you watch your favorite sports team on the screens at the Greene Turtle.
DC is a great place to live if you are a music lover, whether you prefer an orchestra at the Kennedy Center, or an Indie rock band at the Black Cat. The city is a hotspot for a wide variety of musical talent, both past and present. Visit the U Street Jazz Corridor where famous American jazz musicians once gathered to play, and where you will still find a variety of jazz, blues and R&B venues. DC's famous 9:30 Club is an intimate live music venue that frequently hosts big-name acts as well as local bands. Just make sure to buy tickets before you go, as this venue sells out fast! For the classical music lover in your family, impress by getting tickets to the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center, or even stop by during the week to listen to a symphony for free. Your children can enjoy a hands-on, interactive musical experience at DC Music and Entertainment, owned by Pablo Gabriel, where there is even a music session for toddlers to sing-along and learn about instruments.
Living in DC means you can enjoy entertainment from sunup to sundown, and much of it is free. From the Botanical Gardens to the Air and Space Museum, DC's Smithsonian museums are open most of the year and always free to the public. When relatives come to visit, take them on a tour of the National Building Museum or to the National Portrait Gallery, or take your family to the Washington Zoo to see a variety of exotic animals. See the workings of our government from the inside-out with a complimentary tour of the Capitol Building led by a House or Senate staff member. During the summer months you can picnic with your family while you catch a movie on the National Mall, or listen to live music in the Sculpture Gardens. If you're willing to shell out some cash, many of our country's best-known comics started out at the Comedy Improv, and frequently return to this famous venue. For the sports fan, Washington's Verizon Center hosts both college and NBA basketball games, and it is also home to the Washington Capitals hockey team.
Continued Growth
Washington, DC is constantly growing in population and variety as more people decide to settle and build their lives there. Government workers, elected officials, foreign nationals and students are just a few of the groups attracted to the excitement and diversity of our nation's capital. With a rich history, fantastic cultural diversity and so many dining and entertainment options, it is easy to see why Washington, DC is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and why so many people are eager to make Washington their home.

At the begining I would like to admit that Im very sorry for mine english. Well, mine english grammar is very low ;/ I had been learning english for 6 years, but Ive werent really intrested with english(I always loved chemistry and biology :D), so Ive never used to learn english at home and didnt make english homework.
And, I never use any transalotrs or dictonaries, so some words can be spelled wrong xd
..... man, what a long preamble....
There wasnt and there wont be any portable amp + dac that drive iems to the level of hq home dac+amp, unless someone will make a device that wont be supposed to make great profit, but to make us all happy and make a good profit.
Hm801 besides its dual pcm1704u-k dac chipped doesnt offer much for its price. Especially it lacks much in quality.
I dont care about sdhc - its good, dont mind about battery life - 8 hours isnt that bad - if thats a problem you could get extra battery to swap, but damn, if youre paying 800$ for a player you would like to get great amp onboard, without spending next 160 on GAME amp or 400$ on amp like pico slim/protector. And you would like to get something which look and is done to be worth 800$. The present enclosure of hm801 is made worse than on 120-200$ sflo2, which still leaves much to desire, and its unable to compare with well-made daps like cowon x5l, sony x1050, iRiver Ihp140 or iPod Classic.
If the hm801 would be made as good as Cowon X5l or RSA Protector, overall quality-wise - i mean the enclosure, the amp card, Hifiman would get much more customers.
Solid, very solid player(magnesium body with rubber layer on it like the on Canon Eos-1Ds would be great - my father got it, so I know how that kind of material make things very light and very solid and hard to let it fall off our hands because of the rubber and its hard to get scrathes on it) with dual/quade pcm1704u-k chips; onboard amp with quality of pico slim but with more power and with gain set to 10-32ohm and digital volume control; s/pdif line-out(to feed jh3a and home external dac's as a digital transport), better interface(and im not talking about non-audiophile touch screen, but about a interface similar to rockbox on clip/ihp140), it could even have a single-color black/white screen - that would save some power so the player would have more battery life. Then, it shouldnt have usb-dac and coax-dac and any other dac besides player-function and digital line-out. The black-gold theme and simply design that hm801 already got, is great. Simply design doesnt make other people around us thinking that the thing we are carrying in our backpack is worth to stole it and simply, solid design of devices makes them high-end, like Linn devices.
To people who think that hm801 is good to have usb-dac and coax-dac:
Things that are made to be everything in one are just a shit, arent those?
If youre buying a home dac like Reference One or PSAudio PWD you want to get a great dac for 2000$, not a interface/transport/cd/dac/amp in one, since for the price of 2000$ its just impossible.
The price could be even 1000-1200$. Since there are over 10 guys that got hm801+protector+ic+twag+jh13/jh13 and over 200 guys that got hm801 with iems or x1050/imod/classic/sony a/clip/fuze with lod/jack-jack and with amp like d4/pico/pico slim/rx/arrow/protector + twag/standard cable + iems, I dont think that spending over 1000$ on a dap that will surpass those setups will be a problem.
Well, Im thinking of buying hm801 or maybe(i hope so) a succesor of hm801 with(i hope so) 4 x pcm1704u-k and pico slim or a succesor and make on my own a diy player based on those. Just because those wrist bands, external amps, lods, jack-jack make me sick. It doesnt look high-end. And Im not going to pay 1000$ for rig that doesnt look high-end. But well, I will do it if in the next 1-2 years there wont come any commercial dap that will match those desires.
The problem, im trying to solve in this topic is to:
1. See if there are more(more than 10 guys) that are ready to pay 1000$ on a right dap, that will suit all their portable needs.
2. See if there is a manufacture(thinking of: Justin, Tyll, Ray, qusp, Nankai, ryuzoh, Jerry, iBasso) or even small home-based manufacture that is ready to make something similar or maybe(I hope so) better than that what I have described
3. See if there are people that got similar ideas.

Disclaimer: I don't own Firion, Final Fantasy II, nor the idea.
This is a Christmas story, albeit early, and for my friend, Darksoul24, whose been a great guide as I wrote fanfiction on this site.
Merry early Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Firion
So this is where I lived. The weaponmaster looked around at the snowy landscape.
He was currently in the town of Salamand, where his adopted parents told him he lived in before.
As his feet crunched through the snow, he looked around at the small town.
"Mama!" A young Firion ran over to a beautiful woman with Firion's brown eyes.
"What is it, sweetie?" The woman he called his Mama asked the young Firion.
"I made a pinecone for the tree!" And little Firion held out his creation.
"Oh, Firion!" The mother exclaimed, taking the pinecone from him. "This is lovely! It will look beautiful on the tree!" And she placed it in the center of the tree's pines.
"Hi honey!" A man stepped into the house. The man had long white hair, the came color as Firion.
"Hi, dear!" His mother greeted the man. The man kissed the mom's cheek.
"Daddy!" Little Firion ran up to his father.
"What is it, my boy?" His dad asked him, going down on his knees to be in eye level with the boy."
"I made a pinecone and Mama put it in the tree!" He pointed to where his creation now lay snug in the tree.
"It looks great, son." His father told him. "But not yet complete."
He went around behind the tree, and then pulled out a huge, bright star.
"Do you want to hang the Christmas Star up?" The dad asked Firion.
"Yeah!" Firion answered and as his father was holding him up on his shoulders, Firion was straining to reach the top of the tree.
"Sir?" And Firion snapped back to the present. He looked up to see a young girl with long brown hair and blue eyes.
"Sir, are you okay?" The girl asked him. "You were spacing out there."
"I-I'm fine." Firion told her.
"You're new here, aren't you?" The girl asked him.
"Not really." Firion told her. "I've been here before. But not in a long time."
"Well," The girl said, "Have a Merry Christmas!" And she skipped off.
As Firion walked into the cemetery, he glanced down at the little bundle in his cape.
"Here lies Eve and Adney Brinon
Loving parents
To their son: We love you and keep the light in your heart always."
Firion smiled, placing the small bundle right in front of the grave.
"Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad."
The bundle he left on the grave was a pinecone.
End. I hoped you enjoyed it.
And, Firion at his parent's grave, the whole thingm except for when Firion places the pinecone at the grave is based on Darksoul24's Trials of a King.
Please review!

Lot 37: Emile Jean Horace Vernet (Paris 1789-1863)
Old Masters & 19th Century Art (Evening Sale)
by Christie's
December 7, 2010
London, United Kingdom
Horace Vernet (1789-1863) Please Register/Login to access your Invaluable Alerts
Emile Jean Horace Vernet (Paris 1789-1863)
A tethered chestnut horse in a landscape
signed and dated 'H Vernet 1828' (lower left)
oil on canvas
32¼ x 39½ in. (82 x 100.8 cm.)
VAT rate of 5% is payable on hammer price and at 17.5% on the buyer's premium.
Horace Vernet was one of the greatest equestrian painters of his age, sharing a passion for horses with his great friend Théodore Géricault. Both artists worked with broad, shimmering brushstrokes which brilliantly render the energy and tension of their subjects.
Vernet's talents and rapid ascension are ascribable in part to his illustrious antecedents: he was born in the lodgings and studio shared by his father, the military and sporting artist Carle Vernet (1758-1836), and his grandfather, the marine painter Joseph Vernet (1713-1789). Encouraged to draw from a very young age, Horace was sent to complete his formal training in the studio of the Academic painter François-André Vincent.
Very talented at adapting to the changing social and political climate of Restoration France, Vernet enjoyed the support of both Napoleon, who awarded him the Légion d'Honneur, and of the young duc d'Orléans, whose patronage gained him access to the Salon in 1812, and countless commissions once the duc acceded to the throne as King Louis-Philippe in 1830.
Vernet's first major equestrian commission came in 1813, an order to paint 20 portraits of horses from the Imperial stables at Versailles, rendered in poses similar to that of the present work. Géricault was executing similar commissions for Napoleon at the same time, and the resulting cross-influence between the two artists--already close friends since meeting in Carle Vernet's studio in 1808--was particularly fertile.
The first owner of this painting, the wealthy Baron Schickler, was a banker of Swiss origin who moved in the highest Parisian social circles. He and his wife Marguerite-Angélica-Davida acquired the famous hôtel Crozat on the Place Vendôme in 1828. As part of their redecorating programme, the Schicklers filled their home with art by artists such as Wouwermans, David, Gérard, Isabey and Michallon, and with numerous, mostly equestrian paintings by Carle and Horace Vernet, Géricault, and Eugène Delacroix. Schickler's passion for horses and closeness to the Vernet family was such that he lent six of his most beautiful animals to lead Carle's funeral cortège in 1836.
The present work is one of numerous paintings recorded in Vernet's account books between 1824 and 1828, where it appears as 'un cheval pour M. Schickler'. It was probably commissioned directly from the artist by Schickler, and would represent one of the finest horses in his stables. The chestnut thoroughbred appears slightly startled, nervously eyeing the spectator. The pose and anatomical accuracy clearly hark back to the horse paintings of George Stubbs, while the sweeping brushstrokes of the background are strikingly similar to the landscapes of his friend Géricault.
Acquired directly from the artist by Jean-Georges Schickler (1793-1843) for Fr. 1500, and by descent.
Anonymous sale; Tajan, Paris, 18 December 2002, lot 55, when acquired by the present owner.
A. Dayot, Les Vernet, Joseph, Carle, Horace, Paris, 1898, p. 209.

Yes, yes, yes - that's what you get for releasing Internet Explorer 9 in the middle of the night, Microsoft! A post on OSNews that's late! I'm sure that'll teach you. Anywho, as you may have noticed, Microsoft is back in the browser game - Internet Explorer 9 has been released.

IMO, it is basically still the same operating system. I have seen it "grow" and it doesn't seem to be fundamentally different than when it was first released.
That will of course depend on what you are looking at. One could argue that windows 7 isn't fundamentally different from Vista. Or that the latest Ubuntu/Mac OS X/FreeBsd isn't fundamentally different from the ones you used 10 years ago.
XP might be many years old, but it didn't stop changing the day it was first shipped.

will this charger work in NewZealand or will I have to use an adapter?
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes, it will work, but you need an adapter plug ($9.99 at Radio Shack, Model: PCC-1 | Catalog #: 273-1448). New Zealand electrical grid is 240 V, 50 Hz. Written on the side of the Power Adapter is: "Input 100 - 240 V" and "50 - 60 Hz". That covers it.

The first step in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous is to admit powerlessness over alcohol. Each person reaches that moment and that place by different roads. In this week's package, we hear 5 very different stories of how people came to admit their own powerlessness and joined AA.
In one story, after experiencing her own alcoholic seizures and DTs, a woman gets sober at almost the exact same age as her mother was when her mother died of the DTs. In another story, a former cowboy uses alcohol to kill his physical pain until he realizes that he's suffering far more from the affects...

Instead, Fish and Jamieson were hit. Fish claimed that something similar happened at halftime, too.The court in Wells Fargo Arena is set up so that the ramp leading to the locker room goes between two sections of students, and those students, like all college students, can sometimes be dicks. It's the only stadium like that in the Pac-12 conference, something Oregon head coach Dana Altman pointed out negatively, calling it a "security issue." If the Sun Devils won't change their layout, the Ducks want more security present to handle the student sections should anything goes wrong.AdvertisementFish doesn't want the student to face any serious punishment, but does want the spitter to recognize his actions. From the Oregonian:"I didn't want any charges, just for him to be scared (witless)," Fish said. "We all deserve second chances, he's a college kid.

Bringing Tibet Home (Excerpt) (Tenzin Tsetan Choklay)
Tibetan artist Tenzing Rigdol sets out on a mission to bring Tibet closer to Tibetan exiles through an unprecedented art project, inspired by his late father's unfulfilled wish to breathe his last breath in his homeland. Losing his father made Tenzing realize that wishing to return home is common among all Tibetan exiles. Thus an art project was born to make this common dream a reality as the artist struggles to bring 20,000 kilos of native soil from Tibet to Tibetan exiles in India.

Different Learning PathsPetersen, Bent; Pedersen, Torben (København, 2001)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Much has been written about how international firms create and sustain firm-specific advantages that offset their liability of foreignness. Less attention has been devoted the question of how international firms can reduce their liability of foreignness. Looking for different paths of learning our study explores the dynamics of firms' liability of foreignness. A sample of 494 international firms from Sweden, Denmark and New Zealand is clustered along three structural dimensions of liability of foreignness: (1) perceived lack of knowledge about the foreign market, (2) the longevity of operations in the foreign market, and (3) international experience of the entrant firm. The four clusters that precipitate represent different learning path positions. One group of firms can be identified as pre-entry learners, another group as post-entry learners. A minor group of firms is characterized by perceiving a persistent lack of knowledge about the foreign market they are operating in. One might speculate if these firms engage in any learning about the foreign business environment. Furthermore, the data suggest that firms with extensive international experience are more capable in familiarizing with the foreign business environment than are firms with little international experience.

Strategic Response under Market and Institutional Uncertainty in the Tanzanian Food Processing IndustryHansen, Michael W.; Langevang, Thilde; Rutashobya, Lettice; Urassa, Goodluck (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: 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 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: This paper argues that in the difficult disciplines of crisis communication and image restoration, attribution theory has explanatory value. Corporate apologia – the explanations that an organisation offers after an attack on – differs with the type of crisis it is designed to diffuse, and if the crisis concerns legitimacy, the art is to shift the public attribution of guilt or responsibility. The case of Arla vs Hirtshals is used to demonstrate how a concerted effort in impression management succeeded in just such a shift. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8031 Filer i denne post: 1

Medarbejderes kommunikative handlekraftJuul Christiansen, Tanja (Frederiksberg, 2010)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Organizational identity has traditionally been understood as a fixed product that can be identified and communicated to employees. Organizational identity formation should, however, be understood as a reflexive process. There is not just one organizational identity but several, and the construction of these identities takes place in a continuing process among several participants. Yet, in many organizations management aims at a conventional identity formation in the official internal identity communication, when communicating identity to employees with the ambition of creating a monolithic organization of devoted employees. This kind of conventional identity formation has several implications. Firstly, it creates a gap between the official and the unofficial identity formation. Secondly, it runs the risk of making the organization appear untrustworthy. Thirdly, it may lead to a homogenous work force, which seems contradictory to the strive for innovation and creativeness that also characterizes contemporary organizations. Finally, its inherent aim of social control seems morally questionable. Thus, organizations could beneficially strive for a higher degree of reflexiveness by letting more voices be part of the official identity formation. The empirically-based research on how to facilitate such reflexivity is, however, sparse. In order to address this gap in the literature, this PhD dissertation explores how to affect rhetorical agency at work by implementing internal employee blogs in organizations....

Resume: We analyze liquidity components of corporate bond spreads during 2005–2009 using a new robust illiquidity measure. The spread contribution from illiquidity increases dramatically with the onset of the subprime crisis. The increase is slow and persistent for investment grade bonds while the effect is stronger but more short-lived for speculative grade bonds. Bonds become less liquid when financial distress hits a lead underwriter and the liquidity of bonds issued by financial firms dries up under crises. During the subprime crisis, flight-to-quality is confined to AAA-rated bonds. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8864 Filer i denne post: 1

Resume: This paper draws on ideas in economics and game theory to develop a new theory of marketing and corporate communication in the emerging network economy. We argue that in a network economy, firms and consumers will confront "coordination problems." With the emerging network economy all this become urgent because the availability and cost of information decreases. Also, timing issues becomes crucial as millions of people get access to the same information simultaneously. That explain why events where masses of viewers simultaneously participate in the same events become so important. We introduce a simple game theoretic model to explain this, and discuss marketing applications and possible strategies.

A comparison of Russia and SloveniaMygind, Niels; Demina, Natalia; Gregoric, Aleksandra; Kapelyushnikov, Rostislav (København, 2004)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Ownership is determined by firm specific factors and the environment. Firms change over their life-cycle. The governance cycle – here defined as changes in identity of the dominant owner and own-ership concentration - is marked by key phases including start-up, growth, and possibly a restructur-ing or exit stage. During transition the cycle reflects: privatization often with a high proportion of employee ownership like in Russia and in Slovenia; strong pressures for restructuring and owner-ship changes; limited possibility for external finance because of embryonic development of the fi-nancial system. To provide simple hypothesis tests, we use Russian enterprise data for 1995-2003 and Slovenian data covering 1998-2003. In spite of differences in institutional development, con-cerning privatization and development of corporate governance institutions, we find that govern-ance cycles are broadly similar in the two countries. Employee ownership is rapidly fading, but while change to manager and non-financial domestic outsider ownership is typical for Russia, man-ager ownership is not widespread in Slovenia. Instead change to financial outsiders in the form of Privatization Investment Funds is frequent. Foreign ownership, which is rare especially in Russia, is quite stable. The ownership diversification to employees and diversified external owners during privatization did not fit well to the low development of institutions. As expected we observe in both countries a subsequent concentration of ownership on managers, external domestic and foreign owners.

Theory and Evidence from the BalticsJones, Derek C.; Mygind, Niels (København, 2004)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: We begin by identifying a typical governance life-cycle, defined as changes in ownership structure, and including both the identity of the major owner and ownership concentration. The cycle is marked by key events and phases including start-up, initial growth, mature growth, and possibly a crisis and restructuring stage or exit stage. The governance cycle for transitional countries reflects some specific characteristics –e.g. often privatization produces specific initial ownership structures, with an unusually high proportion of insider, especially, employee ownership. Subsequently pres-sures for restructuring produce strong impulses for ownership changes. There is limited possibility for external finance because of the embryonic development of the banking system and the capital markets during early transition. The governance cycle is also influenced by specific features of the institutional, cultural and economic environment in a country. The varying importance of these fac-tors is expected to produce differences in key features of ownership cycles such as the speed at which particular ownership changes occur. To provide simple hypothesis tests, we use new and rich enterprise panel data sets for the three Bal-tic countries. The data enable various measures of ownership to be constructed (including the iden-tity of major owners and ownership concentration). The empirical analysis covers the ownership cycle with emphasis on initial ownership and subsequent changes. Our key method is to assemble a series of transition matrices showing both starting and final ownership configurations for sample enterprises and to simultaneously provide information on changes in concentration for the largest single owner. For Estonia this is supplemented with an analysis of the frequencies of different own-ership-cycles including intermediary stages of ownership. In spite of important differences in insti-tutional development, especially concerning the privatization process, we find that governance cy-cles are broadly similar in all countries. Employee ownership is rapidly fading and mainly being succeeded by managerial ownership. There are changes back and forth between manager and do-mestic external ownership, while foreign ownership is quite stable. Ownership concentration is mostly increasing after privatization, which included diversification both to employees and external owners. Since ownership diversification did not sit well with the slow development of the institu-tional framework, as expected we see a subsequent concentration of ownership on both managers, external domestic and foreign owners. However, variation in institutions, there are also important differences across countries. The adjustment of ownership structures is faster in Estonia and this can be explained by the relatively fast pace of institutional change and evolution of important gov-ernance institutions, including tough bankruptcy legislation and advances in the financial system.

A Dynamic AnalysisHobdari, Bersant; Jones, Derek; Mygind, Niels (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: New and rich panel data for a large and representative sample of firms are used to estimate the sensitivity of access to capital to differing ownership structures. The investment behaviour of firms is examined in a dynamic setting in the presence of adjustment costs, liquidity constraints and imperfect competition. The empirical work is based on the derivation of Euler equations in the presence of symmetric and quadratic adjustment costs and both debt and equity constraints. Whereas the norm is to use ad hoc approaches to model these constraints, our alternative and more consistent leads to the inclusion of financial variables in investment equation in first differences rather than in levels. Our GMM estimates confirm the importance of financial factors in determining investment rates and suggest that firms owned by insiders, especially non-managerial employees, are more prone to be liquidity constrained than are others. Among the other groups, somewhat surprisingly, only domestic outsider owned firms display sensitivity to both measures of the availability of finance, with manager owned firms being sensitive to the availability of external finance, while state owned firms being sensitive to the availability of internal finance.

The Norwegian maritime sectorWallevik, Kristin (Frederiksberg, 2009)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The four papers in this thesis investigate corporate governance in family firms from different angles, with emphasis on industry and industry networks. I divide the industry networks into social and commercial networks, where social networks are measured by interlocking boards and commercial networks by investments in other firms in the same industry. Focus is on the governance structures in family firms, how industry and networks may be determinants of family ownership, and the effect of family ownership and strong industry networks on financial performance in certain industries (such as the maritime industry). Two of the papers are theoretical papers and two are empirical papers. The empirical papers are based on the same hand-collected dataset comprising 167 Norwegian listed companies from 1996-2005. The first paper - "Corporate Governance in Family firms" comprises a survey of the corporate governance literature on family firms, paying attention to the unique issues in the governance of these firms. I discuss different forms of ownership and how different agency contexts and business environments may suit family ownership better than other ownership structures. I also discuss how firms can reap the benefits of family ownership, by using a relational governance model, if there is an atmosphere of positive relationships, trust and shared visions. A relational governance model focuses on the social capital embedded in personal relations between owners, managers and board members. A contractual governance model, however, focuses on finding the optimal incentives in the relations between owners and managers, in addition to having greater focus on the monitoring role of the board. These two models may complement and supplement each other in a governance structure. The question is how these different governance models affect firms' operations, decision-making, and competitiveness. The second paper - "The Effect of Industry Networks on Family Ownership" deals with possible effects of industry networks on the prevalence of family firms in different industries. I discuss how various networks can be determinants of family ownership, in addition to elements like incentives, monitoring, and altruism, as well as firm, industry and nation specific factors. I also discuss whether family firms can gain more from these industry networks than other firms due to a higher degree of "thick trust", strong owner-manager relations and the use of a relational governance structure. This paper proposes that strong social and commercial networks affect the number of family firms in an industry, as a result of the social capital embedded in these relations. Paper three - "Social and Commercial Networks as Determinants of Family Ownership - The Norwegian Shipping Industry" is an empirical paper testing whether industry networks are among the determinants of family ownership in the Norwegian shipping industry. The overall question is why family ownership is more prevalent in some industries, and which elements that influence this ownership structure. I focus on industry effects such as the number of firms in an industry and the social and commercial industry networks between firms. These are potential determinants of family ownership. I find that both industry and various industry networks have a significant and positive effect on family ownership in the shipping industry. The fourth paper - "Family Ownership, Networks and Financial Performance" takes up the question whether family ownership and various networks affect financial performance, measured by Tobin's q and ROA lagged, or not. Earlier studies come to different conclusions regarding the relationship between family ownership and firm performance, which may be due to differences in the agency context of the studies. I add industry and industry networks as central variables to disentangle some of the contextual factors in this relationship. This paper argues that it is not necessarily the family ownership that affects performance, but how this ownership is used in a strategic manner. Establishing and using networks are seemingly a means of operation in some industries, sometimes with a positive effect on performance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7901 Filer i denne post: 1

Webber, Stuart (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This dissertation analyzes ways in which Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) shift profits from one country to another to reduce their income tax expense. This is an important topic for a number of reasons. From a country's perspective, its income tax rates and policies can have a significant impact upon its tax revenue, economic competitiveness, and the vibrancy of its economy. From the MNE's perspective, income tax rates and policies determine a firm's tax obligations, and thus affect net income and enterprise value. The dissertation examines several ways in which MNEs shift profits to reduce income taxes, and consists of five chapters. The introductory chapter reviews the economic evidence demonstrating firms shift profits from one country to another in response to tax rates. In the past two decades a number of economic studies have shown firms use tax and accounting techniques to shift reported profits to low tax jurisdictions, and that chapter reviews key articles that have demonstrated this. The second paper explains how MNEs finance international investments to shift interest income to low-tax jurisdictions. It reviews government tax policies in a number of countries that have been enacted to limit interest income shifting, and recommends an approach to control this activity. The third paper examines tax efficient supply chains, in which tax departments and supply chain organizations collaborate to site business operations to achieve supply chain objectives and reduce tax obligations. The fourth chapter analyzes how some U.S.-headquartered firms have moved their corporate headquarters from the U.S. to tax havens, to reduce their tax expense and avoid U.S. international tax policies. The fifth and final chapter examines new U.S. tax regulations that propose to value intellectual property transfers in the same way outside investors would, which the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) calls its "investor model." It also makes recommendations concerning how the investor model can be improved. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8457 Filer i denne post: 1

A Critical Case Study of the Mobile Telecommunications IndustryAzizi, Sameer (Frederiksberg, 2017)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This doctoral dissertation examines the business-development relations in Afghanistan by focusing on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and other related practices from corporations in the Afghan mobile telecommunications industry. More concretely, the study aims to explore the characteristics and drivers of the various CSR practices in the Afghan mobile telecommunications industry in order to critically assess the relationship between CSR and development in such context. The thesis highlights that the national context of Afghanistan in combination with the global mobile telecommunications industry provides a relevant empirical focus that can enrich the theoretical debates about CSR in developing countries. The study thereby stresses on the importance of context, and integrates both the societal and corporate dimensions to study CSR by corporations in the Afghan mobile telecommunications industry. The study draws from the political governance literature on 'Areas of Limited Statehood' (ALS) to conceptualize the national context of Afghanistan, and to problematize the assumptions and claims of the CSR literature by focusing particularly on the neo-institutional, the political and the developmentoriented debates on CSR. The empirical data for the study is based on an intensive case study of four large and foreignowned mobile telecommunications operators in Afghanistan. The case study includes qualitative data from various sources including interviews and observations during fieldwork in Afghanistan, and a study of secondary data from the corporations, Afghan state institutions, civil society and other relevant actors.

How Material Practices and their Symbolic and Physical Meanings Form a Colonising LogicLauesen, Linne Marie (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This PhD thesis is the outcome of three-year doctoral study of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and stakeholder engagement in the water sector. This study contributes to new knowledge about water companies formed as hybrid organisations in the aftermath of the new public management (NPM) era worldwide. Today we see different hybrid organisations of water companies around the world that have either been fully privatised or quasi-privatised. Quasiprivatisation in Denmark means that water utilities are still perceived as natural monopolies, which has not made them into for-profit driven companies. Instead a simulated market and state regulation has been introduces with annual, national benchmarking to set a price cap as an upper limit for the consumer-price of water. Similar systems are seen in fully privatised water companies in the United Kingdom, the United States, and partially in South Africa. However, here the water companies are typically owned by private companies and not established as municipalityowned limited liabilities1 as in Denmark and elsewhere in Scandinavia. This PhD thesis proposes new models and principles and corporate social responsibility and stakeholder engagement of these water companies. The findings of the study suggest a new definition of a colonising logic of CSR competing and coexisting with the regulators' colonising logic of NPM. Through the study and definition of these logics as colonising the water sector this PhD theisis provides an understand of new perspectives of how CSR is enacted through stakeholder engagement and how the logic of CSR frames the top managers' claim: "We are CSR!" (Interview B, March 2011) and the consequences of this logic. Both the logic of CSR and the logic of NPM is found to be based on the materials that the water companies are organised around, namely water. Water is perceived as a natural good that should ideally be free and plentiful for all citizens around the world. However, the competition between the two colonising logics stems from another material, namely the money or price that providing clean and pure water for all are allowed to cost the citizens. Through the dialectical interaction of these in terms of material practices between producing water and infrastructure to distribute it and collecting money as a payment for it and the regulation of this, this PhD thesis proposes a new definition of the role of materials and material practices underlying several institutional logics such as the institutional logic of capitalism, state, democracy, family, religion/science, profession, and corporation (Friedland & Alford, 1991; Thornton et al., 2012; Friedland, 2013).

We do the games: scrabble, boggle, wheel of fortune (the Simpson's one, not sure how or why we have that, and it's probably not totally appropriate and my kids don't even watch the Simpsons so I don't think they *get* half of it, lol..but it helps practice a little).
I have heard great things about All About Spelling, but it is pricey. Then I heard about Apples and Pears Spelling which is less pricey and still great.
Then I found this: Spell By Color which is what I am using for my DD in 5th grade that is a struggling speller. The first year is free and she did it as an alternative to All About Spelling. After the first year it is still affordable ($8).
And I am using this for my 6th grader, he is a natural speller though, I'm not sure if we will use this for the whole year, but it seems more 'traditional'.
I also made a list of things for my 5th grader to do, she can pick something each day that I say choose an activity (it will be like spelling city, make words out of play doh, use word tiles to make words, paint words, draw pictures and write a word or words, write words in bubble letters). The program doesn't really give you a specific list of words for the week, it gives you a rule for the week or lesson, then there are lists but my plan is to teach the rule, have DD do the exercises and give a dictation on Fridays that will include those types of words that follow the learned rule (there are examples of dictation after the first few lessons too, some dictations and lessons include previous lessons to keep those rules fresh in their brains).
I am pretty excited to use it, I really like the idea of teaching the rule rather than just memorizing spelling words each week. I am hoping it will work better for my DD more than the traditional spelling approach has. Definitely look at it. I figure what can it hurt to try it if it's free. If it's not working or she hates it, I think we will switch to Apples and Pears.

OPGI Price: $1199.99
Brand: Edelbrock Part Type: (P) High Performance, designed to improve performance Years: 1965-77 Sold As: EACH 2016 Grand Prix Catalog Page: 2312017 Grand Prix Catalog Page: 238
Made for the 1965-77 389-455 Pontiac V8 engines. These heads are patterned after the 1969-70 Ram Air IV heads. The "Performer" rpm heads provide outstanding horsepower along with excellent low-speed torque and throttle response. Ram Air IV headers or exhaust manifolds must be used. The complete heads are assembled with stainless steel, one-piece swirl-polished 2.11" intake and 1.66" exhaust valves with under-cut stems to promote better flow for more power. Includes 2-ring positive oil control seals, rocker studs and guideplates, valve springs, steel retainers and keepers. Heads include bronze guides, hardened valve seats and the deck surface is 5/8" thick. Part# G221435 – Head bolt set for part# G980036. For some time now, this specific cylinder head has featured a new head-bolt boss height. This improves performance under super high-compression, supercharger or nitrous applications. This also simplifies the bolt kit: Head bolts of three different lengths are required as opposed to the six different lengths required with the old head bolt kit.

Fukusa Accent Pillow with Treasure Ship
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
- $800.00
- Item Not Available
This is an old fukusa with a carefully woven treasure ship presented from the front. This is an unusual design with an unusual color palette which shows a soft and elegant ship loaded with all the good things in life. The old Kanji woven in gold in a band going across the center of the fukusa are the symbols for congratulations and long life. Circa 1920
Backing is gold silk dupioni with gold and cream cording and light gold tassels with polished brass beads.
A Fukusa is a woven square of silk fabric traditionally used by the Japanese to cover a ceremonial gift during its presentation. We've used Fukusa (Fukusa is both singular and plural) to create unique decorative pillow covers which are about 24" x 24" in size. Fukusa, are generally backed with another piece of silk material. Often the backing silk material is bright orange or red and contains the family crest of the person or family giving the gift. Each of these Fukusa are combined with hand selected backing fabrics, borders and tassels to make decorative accent pillows that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Most modern Fukusa are quite small and mostly used for the tea ceremony. Think of them as a combination of gift wrapping and greeting card. The message conveyed by the symbols on the Fukusa is very important and needs to be appropriate for the occasion. The Fukusa silk decorative pillows we offer are made using these antique or vintage (around 50 to 100 years old) gift coverings.
Fukusa that are in acceptable condition and suitable for decorative designer pillows are becoming increasingly scarce and hard to find. And as the scarcity has increased, the prices have also increased dramatically. Fukusa are a beautiful, disappearing piece of Japanese cultural history but beautifully preserved in these decorative down pillows.
The Fukusa used in these down pillows is a hand woven silk with intricate loom embroidery. In addition, some of these Fukusa also have hand embroidered highlights. All accent pillow fillings are down and feathers. As these are old pieces, at least 50 years old, there is minor wear associated with age but these decorative throw pillows are all sturdy and in excellent condition.

Instead of a single photo, it shoots a short video and then auto-picks photos out of that. It's a simple matter of hitting the record button to start and stop shooting. Once you stop, Vhoto takes a few seconds to process and then gives a thumbnailed grid of still images based on the least amount of blur in any frame. Pick the ones you like, choose to add filters or perform basic image edits, and save or share it. There is even a mini social network like Instagram, but given how few users it has at the moment, that's not really worth it. Advertisement Advertisement The advantage of Vhoto is that you don't miss a good moment or get photos where some people have their eyes shut. In any non-posed shot, in fact, Vhoto is a better option than a regular camera app—but the caveat is that the quality of photos from Vhoto is only as good as posting on social networks, not much more.Proper camera apps do score higher in the actual quality of the photo because you can tap to focus and because you get LED flash instead of video LED light—the former is better at highlighting a still image.That said, Vhoto is still a good camera app and one you should use if the scene has movement or is a candid capture.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Piano arrangements were the main way for people to become acquainted with concert repertoire in Schumann's day, and publishers ensured that the huge demand for such versions was met. Otto Dresel's arrangement of the String Quartet, Op. 41, No. 3 was approved by the composer. Clara Schumann was dedicatee and soloist for the Piano Quintet, Op. 44, and she was able to draw on her intimate knowledge of her husband's work to make her own highly effective arrangement. This is the first of seven volumes including Schumann's entire orchestral works arranged for piano duet. Mariko and Volker Eckerle founded the Eckerle Piano Duo in 2006. The German-Japanese duo regularly plays central works of the piano duet repertoire along with rarely-heard pieces and works, accompanied by other musicians, actors and ballet companies.
American Record Guide, March / April 2013
Based on the Eckerle's musical playing and perfect ensemble, this is a notable first volume and will keep me on the lookout for more in the series. The music works very well on the piano. All told, we have a great beginning to a series that I will watch for in the future.

The bad news is that decision's impact. Quantic Dream CEO David Cage says that the three individual hour-long episodes planned for the game are on the backburner until Move is fully integrated. "Unfortunately, Sony preferred to ask us to focus on Move to support the device rather than on creating new content," Cage told NowGamer. Advertisement Advertisement "This is a decision I can understand, and I am certainly happy we had the opportunity to play with this device and to support it, although I am certainly disappointed for fans we could not finish the story of HR the way we intended," he added.Whether we'll ever see those remaining Heavy Rain "Chronicles" remains to be seen—perhaps Move support will spur further interest—but Mr. Cage does not sound too pleased.Cage Explains Heavy Rain DLC Cancellation [NowGamer]Reply261 repliesLeave a reply

All said and done, BD skipper Mushfiqur Rahim's comments say it all : One should not forget that if they lose, India will lose, not India A. However, I think the Indian batting side is very strong, only the bowling is lacking a front-line fast bowler. Should be really an entertaining series. BD should take nothing for granted.

@ hystericalnaive : Legitimate Thinking
hystericalnaive on June 1, 2014, 4:31 GMT
This is called horses for courses. If you play a test team like SA, Aus , ENG who are better teams, Indian team should be framed in a manner that they are competitive. Now slide back to Bangladesh who are receding in the last year with their performance with so much that people question their ODI performance after their recent Asia cup that they are now being questioned about their legitimacy in staying as a 9th odi team in the world, forget test team. A fact that is really being pressed more often. Therefore, it is all but pertinent to give a thought about the Indian team being sent vs a gruelling IPL season which saw few injuries to top players being rested as an opportunity. After this I wanted to ask how many times did SA/Aus/ENG visited BD for a tour? Can any one highlight pls? when they question the team being sent , they should dig a hole , go inside it and think, do we deserve to talk and comment on them or should we not introspect our team first on staying as 9th test team.
An_Opinion on June 1, 2014, 4:14 GMT
Dissappointing to see all "name calling" comments from Bangladesh fans - totally uncalled for.
For your own benefit, try to see this - this Indian team was whitewashed in their previous tour of England and one major reason was injuries. Their guys are coming back from a long season and going for another long season - they are trying to minimize the probability of loosing players.
Now some hard realization from your side - Instead of complaining, shouting at others, please try to practice gratitude - Bangladesh has been given a lot of opportunities - a lot by many countries and finally swallow this bitter pill - after 14 years of international cricket - Bangladesh hasn't really proved itself.
These comments are written in best interest of cricket and cricketing community as such. Being down is not bad but blaming others will only delay the process of your own shining. May BD cricket do well in future. Good luck!
Crickger on May 31, 2014, 6:32 GMT
People who are highly appreciating India's squad for Bangladesh- Are u guys become happy in the same way as you are happy right now when India sends such a team to play with Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Australia and South Africa? Reply will definitely be that-No! we will not support that. And that is your fault! Because you guys are much more ripen from your time. Do not underestimate anyone who is less powerful in cricketing strength and mentality as after some days they may show you the right way to behave sensibly.
Anubhav-the-Experience on May 31, 2014, 4:35 GMT
Bangladesh can turn tables on India by beating it badly..you do that & no one will do this to you again...but I am doubtful...your team's performance is getting worst..
dummy4fb on May 30, 2014, 8:28 GMT
Firstly,selecting such a team by no means is a way of dishonoring Bangladesh team. It's a good side,but to be honest I feel they haven't lived upto expectatations in the last year or so and need to be much more consistent.
Secondly,What's mean-minded in this? It's important to consider why such a team has been sent. Regular Indian cricketers have been playing for last 6-7 months on a roll and require some respite before a long tour of England. Besides, it's important to test our bench strength. Except for Parveez Rasool (maybe I'm unaware of his abilities?), I am convinced that this is a nicely selected team of very high potential players. To be honest with no offence intended, Bangladesh won't have an easy time against this talented young squad.
ramli on May 30, 2014, 8:04 GMT
@serokon ... let BD first turn up in the matches ... even if they do, we don't mind a Banglawash!! After all it is very boring to see team after team thrashing BD all the time ... we welcome a change???
ramli on May 30, 2014, 8:00 GMT
@Md Minar ... where is the mean-mindedness here? You wanted an Indian team to come to BD to boost your TV rights price ... you got one ... similarly ... when India asks BD to tour, we certainly will not complain about your quality ... why don't you let your team do the talking with performance rather than turning sour even before that ... a day may come when India loses to Bermuda, but that day BD won't even be in the cricket map ...
dummy4fb on May 30, 2014, 7:59 GMT
Gambir was Big flop in IPL he has been scelected.Vijay another big flop he is been sceleted..Yuvi was in good form he is not scelected ...this present indian team looks like pure club team.I dont have belief they can beat Bangladesh team
