At the end of bull markets, investors become more and more selective so fewer stocks participate in the uptrend. In addition, expected volatility http://www.todayhotstocks.com is at low levels. Toward the end of bull markets, investors become complacent and their expectation for volatility is low. One catalyst that could get the blame for a market drop is the Federal Reserve tapering its quantitative easing, or bond purchasing, program. When it stops buying bonds, bond prices will decline and interest rates will rise.

HOW THE MARKET REACTED: Stocks climbed on the news initially, as hopes rose for more economic stimulus from the Fed. Then, escalating tensions between the U.S. and Syria pushed the market down. By the end of the day, the stock market ended mostly flat.

al-Sheikh told investors that his Capital Market Authority would very soon complete a series of regulatory changes he has undertaken to make the kingdoms stock market less volatile and more transparent. Those measures have ranged from capping price changes of stocks on their first day of trading to requiring listed companies to promptly report any plant shutdowns or other news that might impact their bottom line. We are not entirely satisfied yet, the Capital Market Authority chairman told investors. But the authority will overcome the logistical difficultiesto have a market that is attractive to foreign investors and local investors. The question of when Saudi Arabia would open its stock market more fully to foreigners has been the top topic of discussion among outside investors, at least, for years.

Anxiety is a problem for many people, usually connected with depression. While many drugs have been created to combat anxiety, most of them have nasty side effects Such as; you can get anxiety from insomnia, depression or the drugs taken to cure these disorders.
Natural Remedies to cure anxiety
An extensive amount of people think about using natural remedies today instead of the conventional drugs for the reason that of the fact that there are usually no side effects deriving from using them. Anxiety is a disorder that may be kept under control with all the other types of natural herbs for anxiety and also restore in your lifestyle. Grow your herbs in your garden or the patio.
Stress is typically one of the main causes of anxiety, which is implied in many different ways such as, the heavy workload at work, marital problems, financial problems and/or health issues. Stress brings along sleeplessness and with it anxiety and for this reason, most herbs for anxiety will work to give you assistance release stress in the first place. It is possible to locate several herbs for anxiety and several of the most popular used ones are Melissa Officinalis and Lavandula Augustifolia; both these herbs more than ever promote the well being of your body and mind thus, reducing anxiety.
Finding herbs for Anxiety
Commonly you will be able to locate herbs for anxiety in specific stores that sell natural items and homoeopathic centres. It is greatly important that you don't self medicate Even supposing natural herbs for anxiety are not known to make several side effects. Natural herbs for anxiety usually work slower than traditional tablets however, when used regularly or as indicated by the doctor you will be able to control your anxiety attacks from ever reoccurring again.
More Natural Ways to Cure Anxiety
Relaxing through exercise, for instance, yoga, professional massages and scented candles may assist you to release stress successfully. Your doctor may also prescribe a restore in food in particular late at night and also other activities that you may find pleasant and give you support deal with the anxiety attacks. Rue is another excellent decision for garden borders.
Natural herbs for anxiety might as well be administered through teas, food or pills depending on your preference and ability to administer them. It is vital you continue the cycle as prescribed by your doctor even sometime after you start feeling better or even if you don't see many changes happen as several herbs will take longer to react then others and breaking the cycle can take even longer to reactivate their effect.
This will ensure that the herbs will be used daily. This herb may be used in all kinds of cooking, and it gives your meals an incredible taste.

My point is that non-sexual reproduction is only the "rare exception" you make it out to be among vertebrates. You began this thread by pointing out that continua are not found in *eukaryotes* (as opposed to prokaryotes), which as a group are considerably larger than vertebrates and vascular plants put together. Perhaps you, or someone else, might care to make some comments about the eukaryote kingdoms of protists and fungi at this point. My point being that you made a sweeping generalization based on your experience with a *small* subgroup of organisms with a rather depauperate set of mechanisms for transferring genes. > > B) I do not know what you mean by "cladistics...works well". > > Cladistics as practiced today often produces one (or many > > more) *hypothetical* phylogenies that "in many cases" > > appeals to the subjective conceptions of the worker.

Cladistics (to me at least) is a tool, neither God nor Satan, >and it shows me countless examples of groups without reticulation, and >groups in which reticulation is a minor feature. Don't jump to conclusions: I certainly do "like cladistics" (your words), in theory; it is an interesting tool for developing hypotheses (not exposing truths) but limited by the worker's subjectivity and assumptions. There are many aspects to evolution that clearly do not fit with the methodologies of popular cladistics, e.g.: evolution is not necessarily always cladistic or parsimonious. As a procedure, cladistics cannot detect intermediates, or any assumption violations. Characters that are variable within a taxon are eliminated from an analysis because they are uninformative. There are just as many cases where cladistic analysis of different data sets for the same organisms result in different topologies as they result in similar topologies. What are these "countless examples" that have been studied using different equivalent data sets (another rather extreme generalizing statement). > > one sees what one wants in the results.

When they work, this >is evidence for the reduced importance of reticulation. I still don't know what your criteria are for judging that "cladistics works". I maintain that it will not show reticulation because the starting premise is that there is no reticulation. Just because the results of cladistic analysis of different data sets are not congruent does not mean that reticulation is the culprit. > > C) Reticulation is very real, even in vertebrates; to > > mention two cases: the complex of salamanders in the > > genus _Ambystoma_ from eastern North America.

If >reticulation were the rule and branching phylogeny the exception, >this would not merit mention, and we would focus on the unusual >groups that *don't* show reticulation. This was one, admittedly extreme, example, but the point is that you originally said "eukaryotes", you used the term "sex" in a `traditional' sense and unless each case is studied carefully in depth, it is unwise to assume either a continuum or no continuum. Continua exist in all groups through time and space; reticulation (in many forms and many taxa at different) is real. > > Also among the most > > heavily studied organisms are cereal grasses and their > > relatives.

And in the example of cultivated wheat, the chromosome >numbers of the polyploid series are discrete, with no true-breeding >intermediates. Any American Kennel Club member can tell the difference between a terrier and a chow chow. Maybe even botanists can be trained to do this. :-) Have you looked at the _Elymus trachycaulus_ complex throughout the northern hemisphere? A lot of botanists would appreciate it if you would point out the discontinuities in this species complex after studying it (using cladistic methods or others) throughout it's range. As I said, there are hiatuses in some places, but in others there are continua. > >Are these plants asexual F1 populations; no segregation at F2 > >generation, no chance for backcrossing?

Other data have helped interpret and resolve conflicting cladistic hypotheses generated by popular methodologies (that's fine). Cladistic methodology `proved' nothing, but simply indicated a number of conflicting and unresolvable hypotheses. > >Introgression does not result in new species, agreed, it results > >in continua. >No it does not.

Have you included all eukaryotes in this graph? Is this the graph that one gets from looking at "Homoploid hybrid speciation" events. If so it seems to be one lump short of a full load :-) Sorry, another cheap shot, but I couldn't resist. Seriously now, do you see this pattern between *all* adjacent modes? >You stress the presence of intermediates. I stress the bimodality. >I do not deny the presence of intermediates. You seemingly deny the >importance of the bimodality. There may lie our problem. We both see each other as being altogether too dogmatic about the points we are trying to get across. The concept of bimodality (or multimodality) will operate at many levels: population, subspecies, species, genus (or similar artificial ranking) -- do I detect another form of continuum? Does your concept of bimodality operate through multiple dimensions or is it simply a frequency at a particular point in time and space. Obviously it would be a bit hypocritical to work as a taxonomist without recognizing the existence of some sort of discontinuities, partial or complete, somewhere. Without meaning to criticize any reader of TAXACOM, especially you Curtis, I note that it is easy to detect "bimodality" using a limited number of samples. This is not so much of a problem now as it was for botanists of the last century. > >Maybe the difficulty is that your work is done on California > >plants (?). > >Cheap shot. I think not, although it might seem like it. The point is that my concept of continua, as alluded to above, is one that tends to consider large geographic areas (as well as evolutionary time -- did those 12 synapomorphies defining the clade arise in one generation?). > > I suggest that you might try to examine a > >circumboreal species complex (animal or plant) *throughout it's > >distribution*. > >I could suggest that *you* examine a case that supports *my* views, >but instead I'll agree to disagree. Well a specific example has now been alluded to (_Encelia_ in California, right?), I will try to look it up, but how can I be sure that it's not a special case exception? :-) Thank God we "disagree", otherwise the discussion would flounder to a rather boring ending. Thanks for the discussion Curtis! Too bad everybody else on TAXACOM is ignoring this thread and jabbering endlessly about ZPG, maybe it means that we are both being trivial and uninteresting (if not long-winded). Because I like quotations so much (especially when they apply to me) and because others seem to have enjoy the Veldkamp quote, I leave you with another of my favourites: ... I have long thought that too much systematic work [and] description somehow blunts the faculties, ... CHARLES DARWIN Stephen Darbyshire

The CSC Agility Platform version 10.2.7 has been certified with OpenStack, specifically the Newton release.
OpenStack has been a supported integration for awhile. As with any third-party product we integrate with, OpenStack has regular releases, and the Agility Platform must re-certify each version so our customers can use the two products together.
The Agility Platform allows for customers to leverage the public and private cloud providers that they need today with the flexibility to change to others in the future with minimal disruption. OpenStack has many features that customers rely on, and with the adapter provided with the Agility Platform, those features include the ability to:
- Provision, start, stop, restart, and release Windows and Linux instances
- Manage Windows and Linux instances with or without a proxy
- Create and delete images for Windows and Linux instances
- Create and delete volumes for Windows and Linux images
- Mount and unmount volumes for Windows and Linux images
- Create and delete volume snapshots on Windows and Linux instances
- Create new volumes from a volume snapshot on Windows and Linux instances
- Revert to a previous Windows or Linux image snapshot
- Encrypt volume features available on Windows and Linux instances
- Launch Ceph-backed instances
Clients who have the Agility Platform installed within their own data centers can upgrade to the newest version of Agility and/or updated adapters. Please refer to the documentation to review which versions of the Agility Platform the adapters have been certified against; an upgrade of the Agility Platform may be required.
For customers using CSC-managed cloud offerings, such as BizCloud or CSC Hybrid Cloud, please discuss the upgrade with your account representative since those CSC offerings follow a separate schedule for updating the platform, as well as the unique services they provide.

The British in India: A Social History of the Raj by David Gilmour; Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 640 pp., $35
Among his many vanities, Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last viceroy of India, imagined that he had forged an entirely new relationship with Indians by decreeing upon his arrival in 1947 that they would henceforth make up half the guests at any viceregal soirée. One doubts that his forebear David Ochterlony, the early-19th-century British resident in Delhi, would have been much impressed. As David Gilmour informs readers in his authoritative new study of three and a half centuries of British life and rule in India, Ochterlony shared his home with 13 Indian wives, each of whom had her own elephant with which to accompany him on his evening rides.
The British in India teems with such usefully corrective detail. Gilmour, the author of well-regarded biographies of Lord Curzon and Rudyard Kipling, as well as an earlier social history of the Indian Civil Service, has harvested here the fruits of several decades in the archives—plucked from letters and diaries; memoirs published and private; school, club, military, and police records; official memoranda; and more important, the desiderata of the raj, from menus to forestry manuals. In its exhaustiveness, the material does more than attest to Gilmour's scholarship; it points to the diversity of British life in the empire's most important colony—a diversity resistant to easy characterization.

Patterson claimed that she died after accidentally choking on his manhood during a sex act.
An autopsy confirmed that Marquinez died of asphyxiation after she choked on Patterson's manhood during a sex act.
It was also determined that there was no sign of a struggle, which would have suggested that the woman was forced to do something against her will.
Patterson's attorney asked the judge to allow the jury to see his client's manhood, but the judge declined.
After hearing the case including testimony from an expert on the matter, the jury determined that the death was an accident and Patterson was found not guilty.

Man in Palm Bay shootout pleads not guilty
Two officers wounded in shootout
A man at the center of a police shootout that injured two officers made his first appearance before a judge on Monday.
Mark Clark, 55, pleaded not guilty in the shootout, which ended around 1:30 a.m. Sunday in Palm Bay.
Clark was arrested and booked into the Brevard County Jail.
About 6:30 p.m. Saturday, officials said Clark shot at officers James Bearden and Shane Carroll when they came to his home to arrest him in connection with a dispute he had with family members Friday.
Authorities said Clark had just been released from drug rehab and had threatened to kill his family and any police officer who intervened.
Palm Bay spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez stated, "Officer Bearden, who was wounded in the left side of his jaw, was treated and released from the hospital and is recovering at his home. Officer Carroll injured his elbow during a fall while returning fire."
Clark is charged with two counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer; along with aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer and aggravated assault.
Clark had injuries from a police K-9 bite, and from breaking windows in his home during the seven-hour standoff. He was treated at a hospital, questioned at the police station, then booked into the Brevard County Jail.
Martinez said, "According to the victims (Clark's family), Clark threatened to kill them and any law enforcement officer attempting to intervene. Clark then barricaded himself in the home. He was believed to be heavily armed. SWAT teams from Palm Bay and Brevard County responded along with crisis negotiators. Communication with the suspect was intermittent for several hours until he finally agreed to surrender."
Clark is being held without bail.

The Bill Kutik Radio Show
"The Bill Kutik Radio Show" is a bi-weekly online talk show hosted by Bill Kutik, the leading independent analyst in the HR Technology marketplace. Produced by Knowledge Infusion's Center of Excellence, the show features unedited and unrehearsed conversations with some of the industry's key thought leaders, including executives from leading technology providers.
"Karen is a pioneer in her field who, not afraid to challenge the big guns in the industry, designed the world's first Internet-based global payroll management system. She has continued to drive Patersons' global expansion and last December, she secured $30 million in venture capital, an impressive feat during tough economic times. I look forward to hearing Karen's views, including the best practices that she's created during her more than twelve years in the global payroll industry," commented Kutik.
Karen Paterson proved the impossible by designing a global system that runs multi-regional payroll rules for multiple clients on one database and one instance of source code worldwide, regardless of the number of countries or currencies involved. Revered as a forerunner of the next-generation of payroll and HR management, her technology and business acumen served her well and -- despite tremendous odds and being up against large, publicly held competitors -- she has driven Patersons HR and Payroll's global expansion.
"Bill is a highly regarded thought leader in HR technology and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be on his show. I look forward to discussing the challenges of paying employees globally, something that is becoming increasingly important as more companies expand around the world," commented Paterson.
The show will air Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at noon ET. More information, including a link to listen, can be found at
. "The Bill Kutik Radio Show" is also available on iTunes as a single podcast or by subscription.

Win a Lamborghini for getting free Bitcoins?!
This is not a clickbait, though it may look like this. How to give yourself a chance to win a real Lamborghini? Lottery starts on May 1 with an unbelievable first prize: you can win a Lamborghini. What are the conditions? Step by step instructions:
- Create a free account at freebitcoin site
- Earn Golden Tickets, which are a chance for Lamborghini in the lottery: you get 1 Golden Ticket for every 0.00500000 BTC bet in Multiply BTC or you can buy 1 Golden Ticket for 0.00025000 BTC
- Receive free Bitcoins every hour and daily interest for BTC deposit! Thanks to this, the lottery tickets don't have to cost you anything!
How do you get a chance to win a Lamborghini for free?
If you take care of your account early enough, you are able to take part in the Lamborghini lottery for free or significantly increase your chances. How to do it? Simply use what freebitcoin offers, that is, get free Bitcoins and use them to purchase Golden Tickets. You can do it in many ways, the simplest of which is simply systematic logging in to the site and collecting BTC to your account.
How to use BTC deposit to purchase Golden Tickets?
Few users are aware of this, but the site offers DAILY INTEREST for BTC deposits. The interest rate is better than a regular bank cash deposit, and thanks to it the user can increase the chances of winning a Lamborghini. One ticket costs 0.00025000 satoshi, which according to the exchange rate from April 2019 is only about $1.3. This means that depositing even less than 0.05 btc (around $250) will allow you to earn by the end of May at least a pair of Golden Tickets (assuming that once in a while you will log into the service and claim free Bitcoins).
Is it worth playing Multiply BTC and receiving Tickets automatically?
Lottery rules are very simple, Golden Tickets are awarded for playing Multiply BTC. Each 0.00500000 wagered in the game is one granted Golden Ticket. Multiply BTC is a game where house has a small advantage, so for anyone who develops a strategy, the stop loss level is important. The strategy should be based on the assumption that the profit earned in the short term should be paid out and secured, before the swings cause the capital to be wiped out. The temporary advantage can be achieved mainly thanks to the large bankroll, sensible selection of stakes and iron willpower to exit at the right moment. If you meet these conditions, try to earn as many Golden Tickets as possible.
How to safely participate in the lottery to win Lambo?
The answer to the question of how to take part in the Lamborghini game without risk is included in the idea of the website. All you have to do is set up an account quickly and collect free Bitcoins so that on 1 May, when the lottery starts, you have already accumulated initial capital and interest. For those who are late, there may be a shortage of time, which will make them feel obliged to take a more risky game in Multiply BTC or depositing larger capital, which will accelerate the collection of interest. It is worth to act today, and to confirm that it is worth trying:

Q: How do I go about Planning a Surprise Honeymoon for my Partner?
QUICK LINKS : Honeymoon & Travel Directory Honeymoon Ideas & Advice Honeymoon Forum Destinations Guide Overseas Wedding Forum
These days, only a handful of weddings each year are followed up by a surprise honeymoon, but historically things were very different.
In the past it was the Groom who took charge of arranging and planning the honeymoon for his Bride to be, making the whole thing a complete surprise and even paying for the whole thing himself!
However in the 21st century, it's rare for a honeymoon to be arranged in which one partner takes no planning, preparation or financial involvement (let's face it, whilst it is not as romantic, there's far less risk this way!)
That said, there are still some folk out there who want to plan a surprise honeymoon but don't know how to start out. With that in mind, here are our first few of pieces of advice:
Check with your partner that they are OK with your plans. Many partner's expect to be involved in arranging the honeymoon and will not appreciate being pushed to the side, even if your intention is purely gallant.
Build a picture in your own mind of what your partner expects from the honeymoon and book somewhere according to both your desires, not just your own!
Do your research – this is the holiday of a lifetime and to approach it too casually would be foolish.
Drop subtle hints early on to test the water. Watch travel programmes or read travel magazines and see which destinations your partner takes particular interest in.
Avoid mentioning specific destinations – this is a surprise honeymoon after, but consider taking a look in a travel agents window and see which your partner is focussing on.
On the other hand, if you are the one on the end of a surprise honeymoon...
Make sure your partner knows how much you appreciate it - it will have taken a lot of time and effort into planning.
Make sure you approach the trip with anticipation and excitement, not dread and fear. Perhaps you are heading somewhere that has never appealed, but the research has been done and you should trust your partner on it.
Finally, if things don't go as planned, do not blame your partner or make them feel guilty – they did their best.
Whether it's a surprise honeymoon or joint decision, there are a whole host of things to consider before booking and just as many to think about afterwards. Most importantly, budget allowing, look to go wherever you want and do whatever makes you both happy – this is your one and only honeymoon after all.

Natural language processing is gaining momentum with the increasing volume of text information and the cheaper cost of infrastructure to process big data for insights on employees, customers and users. Machine training and learning technologies like Classification, Recommendations and Predictive Analytics that worked well with structured data in the past, are being tested with unstructured text like customer feedback, reviews, ratings, likes and comments in increasing number of organizations with the goal to automate the process of finding themes and extracting concepts for actionable insights.
Here are some of the popular natural language processing techniques in use within organizations.
Concept Extraction
Reading a customer review or a comment for concept extraction for a few reviews manually can be fun. Imagine doing that on a daily basis for tens of thousands of reviews across the web. Content crawlers can seek out and summarize concepts from across web and social sites on a daily basis. Machine training and learning can be employed to identify popular themes and classify for insights. Once the themes are identified, filtered and sorted for reporting, staff can visualize them for presenting them to senior leadership or the appropriate teams for corrective measures or commend staff for a job well done with positive reviews.
Named-entity recognition
Another popular technique used with natural language processing is identifying the named entities and their relationships where specified. This could be identifying a place or organization or person. Identifying the named entities in different pieces of text could be key in establishing relationships between them or sequencing a timeline for analysis. This also helps visualize the correlations between the name entities and their relationships. A great example of this would be customers visiting a certain store location at a certain time of day and the experiences are inconsistent with the expectation set by the organization. When the named entities are identified in the text, then it helps identify the patterns of behavior experienced and corrective measures can be implemented saving revenue loss or brand image degradation.
Automatic summarization
A key NLP technique used by many publishers is automatic summarization of a page or document for quick reading. This helps provide a snippet of text to tease the appetite of readers and then leads into a larger document or the full page. This can also be used to create automated text ads or offer relevant advertising on websites without having to manually classify the web content.
Question Answering
IBM's Watson made this NLP method very popular with the famous Jeopardy show. Questions are setup and the best responses to each question are assimilated and ranked by the end users. This process can also be setup as guided answers where the questions and answer snippets are added into the system and allow the machine to learn from the users feedback ratings. This algorithm is scored by users and the system learns continuously with a fixed corpus of text.
Sentiment Analysis
Positive or Negative themes in comments can be quickly analyzed through this technique. This is a very useful technique for brand monitoring, mystery shopping or customer/employee feedback or review. Apart from assigning a positive or negative labeling, machine learning can also assign scores with the level of positivity or negativity in the message resulting in the ability to analyze and visualize the text further.
SearchBlox provides the enterprise platform for indexing, search and text analytics of multiple data sources for actionable insights. NLP techniques that are discussed in this post can be applied to your textual content to achieve the required benefits for your organization. Contact us to learn more about how you can enable text analytics and machine learning for your organization.

5 Californians sue to overturn government watch list
Wiley Gill, a Cal State Chico student and convert to Islam, was sitting at home one day in 2012 when two police officers came to his door with their guns drawn seeking a criminal suspect who wasn't there. Gill told them he was alone but reluctantly allowed them to enter and search the home, where they saw a video game on his computer screen.
He later learned that the game, which the officers referred to as a flight simulator, and what they described as his "pious demeanor" had landed him on a nationwide database of "suspicious activities" potentially linked to terrorism.
"Yes, I play video games, and yes, I am Muslim. Neither of those things are criminal or terrorist," Gill, 28, said Thursday outside the federal courthouse in San Francisco, where he and four others represented by the American Civil Liberties Union sued to overturn the Justice Department's reporting program.
"The federal government should not be treating people like terrorists when they've done nothing wrong," said ACLU attorney Linda Lye. "It invites racial and religious profiling."
The database is compiled from reports by state and local law enforcement officers and private citizens to 78 regional "fusion centers," information-sharing offices jointly managed by the Justice and Homeland Security departments since 2003.
Suspicious activities
The FBI screens those reports and records those it classifies as suspicious activities - which it defined, in 2008 guidelines, as behavior that "may be indicative of intelligence-gathering or pre-operational planning related to terrorism, criminal or other illicit intention."
The suit said the FBI standard is dangerously broad, and illegal, because federal law requires at least a "reasonable suspicion" of criminal activity to justify government data-collection.
It is also a waste of time and money, the suit said, citing the Government Accountability Office's findings in 2012 that none of the tens of thousands of suspicious-activity reports had led to an arrest or conviction or thwarted a terrorist plot.
The program "does not increase our safety but does violate our rights," said attorney Nasrina Bargzie of the Asian Law Caucus, which joined in the suit. "Anyone can be a target."
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The five plaintiffs are from California, including one from Vallejo and a San Jose resident.
Ten years ago, James Prigoff of Sacramento, an 86-year-old retired business executive and professional photographer, said he was on public land in Boston trying to photograph the Rainbow Swash, a well-known artwork painted on a gas storage tank, when he was shooed away by security guards who told him photos of private property were forbidden.
'The McCarthy era'
A few months later, he said, a federal-state Joint Terrorism Task Force in Sacramento contacted him to ask about his trip to Boston - information that must have come from the security guards' tracing of his rental car records - and questioned one of his neighbors.
"I have lived through the McCarthy era," Prigoff told reporters. "The suspicious-activity reports program may be re-creating that climate of false accusations and fear."
A Justice Department spokeswoman said the department is "reviewing the complaint and it would be inappropriate to comment at this time."

evidence from ArgentinaNarula, Rajneesh; Marin, Anabel (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It is nowadays generally accepted that inward foreign direct investment (FDI) is crucial as a source of technological spillovers. One of the objectives of this paper is to review the evidence on the quantity and quality of human capital employed by domestic and foreign firms. We examine whether spillovers accrue from MNE activity, and provide a preliminary understanding of why MNE spillovers remain somewhat ambiguous, particularly in developing countries, paying particular attention to human capital development. Our analysis is supported by data from the Innovation Survey in Argentina. On the whole, MNE subsidiaries hired more professionals than domestic firms of the same size, possessed a more skilled labour force overall, and spent more on training than similar domestic firms. Subsidiaries in Argentina effectively have a higher labour productivity and pay higher wages. Yet, in terms of knowledge creation and utilisation, there was little to differentiate affiliates from domestic firms. While there is little evidence of widespread FDI spillovers, where spillovers did occur, it was where domestic firms demonstrated high investment in absorptive capacities. Our analysis also suggests that much of MNE activity - particularly after liberalisation - has been of the kind that by definition has limited opportunities for linkages and spillovers. These are activities in which MNEs may simply be able to generate economic rent from their superior knowledge of markets, and their ability to efficiently utilise their multinational network of affiliates. These assets are not generally easily spilled over to domestic firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6593

Some Lessons from United States Constitutional HistorySweeney, Richard J. (København, 2003)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: A constitution is more likely to be accepted if it federalizes those issues that are widely seen as needing complete harmonization. A constitution is more likely to endure if the federal government does not have powers that are not vital to it but which may alienate some member states to the point that the federal government loses legitimacy. It appears vital to have trade policy at the European Union level; for euro countries, monetary policy is already federalized. It is not clear that common foreign and defense policies are needed; insisting on common foreign and defense policies may lead to conflicts within and across member states that severely weaken the Union, conceivably contributing to eventual collapse. Insisting on harmonization of commercial codes does not have the destructive potential of attempting completely to harmonize defense and foreign policies; it may, however, lead to needless conflict that helps drain the reservoir of goodwill that the European Union will need for dealing with other conflicts amongst member states.

Moeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper examines the field of Japanese publishing through a single event – the Tokyo International Book Fair – and analyses the part played by the three main players in the publishing industry: publishing houses, wholesale distributors, and bookstores and other retail outlets. It argues that the mutual relationships between the three are supported by two structural factors, the consignment sales and resale price maintenance (RPM) systems, before comparing the latter with the Net Book Agreement (NBA) that operated in the UK publishing industry for almost the whole of the 20th century. In conclusion, taking into account the rise of Internet retailing and the growth of Japanese chain retail stores, it tries to looks at what effect the abolition of RPM might have on the field of Japanese publishing.

Abstract: D1.3 marks the final CASMACAT report on user interface studies, cognitive and user modelling covering the completion of tasks T1.5 (Cognitive Modelling) and T1.6 (User Modelling) as part of Work Package 1. Within tasks T1.1 to T1.4, a series of experiments have established a solid understanding of human behaviour in computer-aided translation, focusing on the use of visualization options, different translation modalities, individual differences in translation production, translator types and translation/postediting styles. Additionally, the bulk of this experimental data has been released as a publicly available database under a creative common license and further details on this can be found in D1.4. In parallel to these more holistic studies, a second set of experiments aimed to examine some of these factors in a constrained laboratory setting. These focused on the underlying psycholinguistic processing and cognitive modelling of translators' activity to capture reading difficulty, verification and perplexity during translation and post-editing. This deliverable combines these earlier empirical findings with experiments conducted in Year 3 of the project and grounds translation within a broader theoretical framework associated with human sentence processing and communication. As well as broadening our general understanding of bilingual cognitive processing, there were two major objectives behind the experimental investigations in Year 3. The first was to evaluate the utility of providing translators with Source-Target word alignment information through spatially-direct visual cues. The second was to determine what, if any, differences arise from expertise by comparing the results between a group of bilinguals and a group of professionally trained translators on the same translation-related tasks.

Olai Hansen, Bodil; Keiding, Hans (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We consider a simple model of international trade under uncertainty, where production takes time and is subject to uncertainty. The riskiness of production depends on the choices of the producers, not observable to the general public, and these choices are influenced by the availability and cost of credit. If investment is financed by a bond market, then a situation may arise where otherwise identical countries end up with different levels of interest and different choices of technique, which again implies differences in achieved level of welfare. Under suitable conditions on the parameters of the model, the market may not be able to supply credits to one of the countries. The introduction of financial intermediaries with the ability to control the debtors may change this situation in a direction which is welfare improving (in a suitable sense) by increasing expected output in the country with high interest rates, while opening up for new problems of asymmetric information with respect to the monitoring activity of the banks.

Abstract: Presently, legal regulation of participation of employees – financial participation as well as participation in decision-making – is not well developed in Estonia. On the one hand, it is due to the fact that no tradition of employee participation could have been formed after Estonia became independent because different, contrary political aims, e.g. development of the free-market economy and promotion of national elites, were given priority. Although employee ownership emerged during the early stage of privatization, it was a temporary phenomenon. Earlier experience with employee participation in decision-making was considered to be a relict from the time under Soviet rule and, therefore, to be discredited and not worth following. On the other hand, the solution of current employment and social problems is not associated with a higher level of participation of employees. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7112

Abstract: This report outlines main trends in employees' financial participation in Latvia including historical, socioeconomic and legal background. A special emphasis is placed on privatization during the transition period which shaped an environment for employees' financial participation and influenced the current state of employee share ownership and profit-sharing. Attitudes of social partners and the government will be addressed. The report will show why the transition process lead to a low level of employees' financial participation and the indifference and ignorance of policy makers concerning the development of financial participation.

Abstract: Participation of employees in decision-making in Lithuanian companies has its roots in trade union movement as well as in the practice of managing companies under Soviet rule. After Lithuania regained independence, employee ownership was used to facilitate privatization. A notable success was establishment of a number of employee-owned companies that were formerly state-owned enterprises during the first stage of privatization. However, no stronger tradition of employee participation has evolved. Current legal regulation of participation of employees - financial participation, as well as participation in decision-making - is not well developed and does not provide for stronger incentives. The solution of current employment and social problems by the Government, ruling parties as well as social partners is not associated with a higher level of participation of employees. Financial participation is viewed mainly as a way of employee motivation as initiated by managers and current owners of companies. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7110

Lessons from the UKMallin, Chris; Mullineux, Andy; Wihlborg, Clas (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In 1992 the Cadbury Committee report on the financial aspects of corporate governance was published. The Committee had been established following the failures of a number of high profile businesses in the UK which had shaken confidence in the market. Some nine years later, in 2001, the collapse of Enron sent shockwaves through the US market. As a result of the Enron collapse and various other high profile scandals in the years since its occurrence, the US is examining its own corporate governance structures and provisions to determine how these might be improved and help avoid another Enron. The EU similarly is developing principles and legislation to improve corporate governance, and scandals such as Royal Ahold and Parmalat have helped drive further governance reforms. In this paper we detail the development of corporate governance codes in the UK and the adaptation of similar codes in the EU. We discuss the role of the financial sector in corporate governance and how principles for regulation and supervision of the financial sector complement codes of conduct and legislation in the area of corporate governance.

Håkanson, Lars (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Based on a social-constructivist conceptualization of knowledge as residing in groups of practitioners, epistemic communities, this paper proposes a new perspective on the knowledge based view of the firm and sketches the outline of a new research agenda. It argues that the cost of governing knowledge processes depends as much on the cognitive background of the exchange partners as on the tacitness of the knowledge. Firms exist because they may form epistemic communities in their own right with enabling and motivational properties superior to those of markets in the governance of knowledge processes across epistemic boundaries. Establishing a firm as an epistemic community requires transaction specific investments that are difficult to realize under market forms of governance. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6534

Laursen, Keld, Volker, Per Mahnke, Vejrup-Hansen (Frederiksberg, 1999)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Although there are several theories of growth of the firm, the literature is limited in two interrelated respects. First, empirical evidence does not match well theoretical predictions. Second, the firm growth literature does not address the structure of knowledge both in firms and sectors as well as knowledge flows between them. Based on existing theoretical and empirical literature, the paper outlines an 'appreciative' theory of firm growth and presents new testable hypotheses to inform present and future empirical research. The paper seeks to address this gap by analysing not only levels of human capital, but also its composition both on a firm and sector level. A key departure from earlier approaches is the inclusion of the role of 'knowledge structures' played in the growth of the firm. In this context make a distinction between (a) levels of human capital available to firms, (b) the composition of various kinds of human capital ('firm- specific', 'industry-specific', and 'general knowledge') contained, and (c) the diversity of knowledge domains represented to characterise the knowledge structure of firms. In addition, we present our first empirical results, using the knowledge structure approach. In the first part of our empirical analysis we find – while controlling for intial size and industry affiliation – that the availability of a high fraction of employees with higher education within each establishment (an aspect of 'general kowledge'), is in general conducive to establishment growth. In the second part of the empirical analysis, we find important sectoral differences with respect to the ability of the level of formal education to explain firms growth.

The Role of Competition and of the Initial Firm Efficiency. Evidence from the Czech Republicla Cour, Lisbeth; Ionascu, Delia (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It has been argued that the effect of competition on a company's incentive to innovate and to reduce managerial slack depends on the initial level of efficiency. For example, while firms close to the technology frontier invest more in innovation if competition increases, backward firms reduce innovation. On a panel data of Czech companies, for the years 1993-2005, we empirically assess the impact of increased competition on firm productivity and the importance of the initial firm efficiency level. We depart from the empirical literature on emerging markets by taking into account both domestic and foreign competition. In line with the theory, our results show that there is an inverted U-relationship between domestic competition and firm productivity. Our results also confirm that trade liberalization has a positive impact on productivity. However, the effect is less significant if domestic competition is not taken into account. In addition, we find that both domestic and foreign competition have an effect on productivity in companies close to the technology frontier but not in backward companies.

Abstract: This paper argues that Austrian economics allow us to identify a number of weak spots in the modern economics of organization. Thus, neither the dispersion of tacit and subjectively knowledge in organizations, nor the entrepreneurial discovery process are comprehensively treated in this body of thought. Thinking about these issues in the context of the firm leads to a different, but perhaps complementary perspective on economic organization. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8097

Long Term Sensor Malfunction Detection and Data Regeneration using Autoregressive Time Series Models
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) seeks to assess the integrity of a structure using installed sensors and a variety of structural and data analyses. SHM stands poised as a partial solution to maintain the failing infrastructure in America, but has not yet seen widespread implementation. One factor restraining SHM from universal implementation and prominence is a lack of reliability in sensing and monitoring as a whole. In many cases sensor readings can drift further and further away from the true measurement sought, or even fail altogether. This paper presents one method for the detection of drifting or failing sensors, based on a series of autoregressive (AR) time series models. These numerical models are trained on healthy sensor data, usually from the infancy of the structure or sensor use, and then the distributions of the residuals, or model error, is compared for healthy and unknown time periods on the structure. In cases of failed sensors, a multivariate AR model relating nearby, healthy sensors, is trained on early data before failure and then used to regenerate later time periods of sensor failure. This data regeneration will never perfectly replace the failed sensor, but still provides with replacement values that are sufficiently accurate so they can be meaningfully used in data analysis. These methods are validated on data collected from the Streicker Bridge, on campus at Princeton University.

Settling in to life in Nantes
We are arriving at the end of a full week, and everyone is starting to feel more at home in Nantes. Friendships have developed, students are becoming more accustomed to the rhythm of the program, and everyone is making progress in French!
To continue on the theme of our afternoon activities this week, we wanted to share a bit more about the sites the students visited this week. You can see pictures here of the giant mechanical creations students discovered at the Machines de l'Ile. Students were able to learn about the literary, historical and artistic inspiration behind the giant mechanical elephant, spider, ballerina, and much more. Students were also able to ride on the three-story carousel's mechanical underwater creatures. Since the Machines de l'Ile are celebrating 10 years of existence this year, the visit was very appropriate.
The visit to the Museum of the History of Nantes, located inside the Chateau des ducs de Bretagne, was also a popular activity this week. Students were able to explore 32 rooms dedicated to the history of the city and the castle at their own pace. They particularly enjoyed the rooms about how World Wars I and II affected the city of Nantes and its people. Another popular stop during the visit was the virtual visit of Medieval Nantes: using computers, the students were able to compare reconstructions of Medieval Nantes with images from today and see how the city had evolved.
The visit to the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery was a more somber activity, but essential to understand the complicated colonial and maritime past of Nantes, which was a primary port for the slave trade. Teachers provided materials to students to help them reflect on the monument, its meaning, and how Nantes is addressing its past today.
Students have also been seeing sneak peaks of the Voyage à Nantes, a huge city-wide festival of public art. They will have an opportunity to follow the Green Line, which links the installations with monuments and historical sites, later in the program once the festival is in full swing!
Tomorrow the students are off to visit the Loire Valley castles - we are excited to share more during our next post!Already a week of adventure in Nantes! A little tour of Nantes! Dancing and exploring in Nantes

The median income for white families is around $141,000 per year. For AAs it is $11,000. That is why more AA cannot afford to take care of their own, much less adopt others, IMO.I remember this story. They were religious zealots who were following a specific book by Michael Pearl and other kids were beated to death following his guidelines....
http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/did-hanas-parents-train-her-to-death/ That's not necessarily a result of adopting outside race as it is just crazy! I do wish more blacks would step up though.....but they don't!
OT: That was their EXCUSE. But they had 7 biological children, and 2 Ethiopian adoptees. And, they never let the white kids sleep outside in the rain, eat food that was frozen solid, starve, be beaten, locked in closets, do calisthenics in the snow, die of malnutrition, etc. I don't know how you can miss the blaring racism of this case.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker NaVorro Bowman was a full participant in the team's most recent minicamp, which took place just before the 2017 NFL Draft in April. It's been just seven months since Bowman suffered a torn Achilles during an October 2nd game against the Dallas Cowboys. He was placed on the injured reserve list four days later.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined KNBR on Thursday morning and gave an update on Bowman, who hopes to be ready for the start of the 2017 season.
"I couldn't be more excited with Bo than I am right now," Shanahan said. "I didn't know what to expect. I've gone against him over the years and have the utmost respect for him as a player. Never knew him as a person, though. To get here and -- he's been winning out drills out there, our shuttles. [Head strength and conditioning coach] Ray [Wright] takes him through a lot of competitions and stuff. And just to come out there and watch him, he does not look like a guy coming off Achilles.
"I thought it would take him some time. I didn't think he would really be looking himself until training camp but when I go out there right now and watch him work, he looks a lot better than I was expecting this early. He's put the time and he's put the work in.
"He didn't just start here when we got all the players. He started way before that. He's been in here working since, really, before I was hired. It's showing."
Shanahan went on to say that Bowman has put the work in this offseason and proven that he is a leader by example.
You can listen to the entire interview on KNBR.
Through the first four games of last season, Bowman had 35 tackles, a sack, an interception, a forced fumble, and two passes defended. In 2015, he was in on 1,126 defensive snaps. 627 of those were against the pass while 499 were against the run. During that time, Bowman compiled 154 tackles – which led the league – 2.5 sacks, and two passes defended.

Know the cost of SQL Server 2012's AlwaysOn Availability Groups
SQL Server 2012 takes Database Mirroring to the next level. Many of us have used SQL Server 2008's Database Mirroring as part of a disaster recovery (DR) solution. And it's serves well in that capacity (unless you try and use synchronous mirroring on a high usage DB across to another data center – trust me, don't do that!).
Some of the great improvements with the touted replacement to Database Mirroring:
- Can have up to 4 replicas (not just one)
- Can failover multiple databases as a unit (not just one)
- Can read from the replicas
However, don't just blindly go in for this model without counting the cost. There are some requirements for this new technology that impact your licensing cost, and possibly administration cost. Here they are:
1) The feature requires Windows failover clustering – this means you'll need the Enterprise edition or higher of Windows Server. A Windows cluster requires a minimum of two servers, and since your replica must be on a separate cluster, you're talking 4 servers, at least. NOTE that there is no requirement to install SQL Server as a clustered application.
2) The feature requires SQL Server Enterprise Edition. See this article for a comparison of the various editions: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/future-editions/sql2012-editions.aspx
Now the question arises: Is Database Mirroring still available as an option in SQL Server 2012? The answer is yes. But beware that AlwaysOn is the replacement and Database Mirroring will likely disappear in the next release. This is explained in the AlwaysOn FAQ here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/gg508768#OtherEnhancements
My suggestion is to give careful thought to your DR design BEFORE you make firm decisions on your hardware and software editions. You don't want to be painted into a corner with Standard edition if you could really benefit from features like this which requires Enterprise Edition, and of course on the flip side if Database Mirroring is sufficient for your needs, then you might be just fine with Standard Edition.
Reference for this post:
Introducing SQL Server 2012's AlwaysOn Availability Groups SQL Server Magazine, January 2012
Should you turn off Autogrowth for tempdb data files in a production system?
Yes, if you want consistent and optimal performance.
And, note that we are talking about the production system (and any other test system where you test system performance).
According to Microsoft tempdb optimization recommendations, you should have "one tempdb data file for each CPU on the server" (cores count as CPUs), and you should "make each data file the same size". This recommendation is repeated by experts in the field.
So to ensure the multiple tempdb data files are always the same size, you must disable any Autogrowth settings. Preallocate the files to meet the demands of your largest workload and then monitor usage to make sure you have plenty of reserve space.
The danger of leaving Autogrowth on is you rely on that as a crutch to ensure your files are large enough. Then when they autogrow you are not alerted and your system performance is compromised.
Granted while the Instant File Initialization feature of Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2005 make for much faster file growth, there is still a window where operations pause.
Note this quote from Microsoft in Working with tempdb in SQL Server 2005:
By default, tempdb is set to auto grow; once the space in the file is full, the file is allowed to grow 10 % of the initial file size. However, relying on auto grow to manage file growth causes all applications or internal operations that use tempdb to pause. Instant data file initialization (see Improvements in SQL Server 2005) shortens this pause, improves performance, and allows files to grow much faster as compared to SQL Server 2000. It is important to note that auto grow can lead to data fragmentation and should be used as a last resort.
Sequences in Denali
Great introductory article on Sequences in the next version of SQL Server, code-named Denali.
Finally a way to have more than one sequence in a single table. And of course, the sequences are fully table independent.
Check out Itzik Ben-Gan's article.
SQLskills' Blogs
Just added Kimberly and Paul's blogs to my blogroll (see sidebar for links).
They provide fantastic tips in SQL Server Magazine.
For example in the May 2011 issue they touch on items like:
- Using SET STATISTICS TIME and IO ON to get statistics useful in tuning query performance
- Problems with local variables
Follow them!
How to work around "Saving changes is not permitted" prompt in SSMS
In a recent update to SQL Server Management Studio (I believe SSMS for SQL Server 2008 R2), changes made via the table designer that require a table to be dropped and recreated result in the following message:
"Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can't be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created."
To go back to legacy behaviour where SSMS will just drop and re-create the table for you, go to Tools–>Options–>Designers and untick the box "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation".
How to protect against SQL injection attacks
SQL injection is the act of injecting some characters (e.g. SQL) into a SQL statement causing it to perform an unintended (e.g. malicious) action. It most often occurs when some criteria fed to the query is provided by user input (or is editable by a user – say the querystring in a URL or a field on a web form).
A number of things contribute to making this type of attack possible including: 1) insecure code, 2) unnecessarily highly privileged database access accounts.
Things you can do to protect against SQL injection:
- DO NOT execute any T-SQL by concatenating values, particularly where user input is involved
- Use parameterized SQL instead – this ensures that values are escaped such that a T-SQL command cannot be terminated
- Use stored procedures where the T-SQL is static and criteria values are passed in as parameters (then use in conjunction with point 2 above)
- Do not grant your database accounts used by your application unrestricted access to databases. DO NOT grant them DBO rights in a production OR test environment. This is a HUGE BENEFIT of stored procedures. Stored Procedures can be granted execute rights and SQL Server's chaining system (known as ownership chains) will automatically allow those operations to run against objects (e.g. tables) without explicit rights there. Grant rights directly to tables only if application code must run SQL directly. Even then pay attention to SELECT vs UPDATE rights.
- How To: Protect from SQL Injection in ASP.NET (MSDN article from Microsoft Patterns & Practices)
- SQL Injection (MSDN article with great tips on protecting against this)
Performance of in-line SQL vs. stored procedures
Just been doing some load tests with .NET code against SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition via Data Access Application Block in Enterprise Library.
I insert 5,000 records into a table with a primary key on an Identity column and a clustered index on the same. I'm setting 3 nvarchar fields and one smallint one, and then returning the Identity value of the newly added record. The in-line SQL method calls SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() as the second statement in the batch and utilizes the ExecuteScalar() method while the stored proc path merely returns the same value and is called via the ExecuteNonQuery method. Using caching as detailed below, I almost achieve 1,000 records per second on my developer machine.
I'm afraid I can't help the stored procedure vs. in-line SQL debate as sometimes the in-line SQL is quicker and other times the stored proc is quicker!
However to get the greatest throughput (on both in-line and stored procs) be sure to cache (or reuse) the following:
- Database object (from DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase) – although caching this didn't make a huge difference
- DbCommand (needed for next item!)
- ALL DbParameters – merely overwrite the values on subsequent calls instead of calling Database.AddInParameter

Tuesday was the Revolution Day parade. The parade was filled with mostly students in their school uniforms, but there were also a lot of folks in the traditional wear. The women were dressed in bright colors so they were the most fun to photograph. Here are some of the faces in the crowd. Enjoy!
Children's Revolution Day Celebration
Friday was the children's Revolution Day celebration in San Miguel de Allende. The kids got dressed up in their best revolution outfits and paraded into the El Jardin. There was a caballero with his pony for the kids to sit on and have their photos taken by their parents and me. These are some of my favorite photos from the morning. Monday is the official holiday and I hope to get some photos of the adults. Enjoy!

Trialled in December, organized in January and started with the new school year- our after schools coaching are officially going viral.
Matamata kicked things off first, and we were spoilt. The club went so far as to hire a water tanker for our first visit which, along with some ripping done by the father of Woodville winner Brodie Connolly, made for an awesome way to start.
Most of the riders had gone through the first two trial runs that we ran late last year so from week two, Jacob Kneebone (who all but got a podium in the 125 class at last weekends round of the NZ Nationals) was at the helm guiding, the half a dozen riders that made up the group.
Working Around
For the next three weeks he had to deal with the dust that has been plaguing the country this year. Jacob did what sounds to be a good job of managing the situation, sending them out individually where possible and doing plenty of that essential start practice.
Broxy took the first three Tauranga sessions and it was once the again the first day, at a private venue near the new TECT Park which was moisture laden- except this was a down pour! So, in the name of flexibility, the last part of the session was mainly spent under cover, drilling the pivot between good sitting and standing positions until they could do it with a wall of water running down the inside of their goggles, literally.
Getting Smashed
We hammered gripping with the knees at Maddix Park one week and how to keep gripping while braking into a corner the following week at the Broxy Track, using a special trick with their toes which made a big difference before Jacob took over for the fourth session once again up near TECT Park.
Not only that but we also kicked off in the North King Country at the local track smack bam in the center of a small town named Aria. Darren from King Country Honda was learning the first week and took over the next, not just helping with their laptimes and techniques with his eight riders, he even helped a few of them conquer the doubles section that shaved a massive four seconds off their lap times and helped confidence no end.
How it Works
Making the most of daylight savings, the real training has been running from 4.30pm, giving time to get sorted and a few laps of warm up as everybody is itching to get out there. For School Terms two and three with its shorter daylight hours the focus will shift to mainly primary school riders who finish generally finish their school day a bit earlier, meaning we can start closer to 3.30pm and have everyone finished well before dark, with the final term of the year once again more College age.
And keep an eye out as we begin coaching in the Huntly area and further abroad as keen riders and new trainers come out of the woodwork. Hawkes Bay and South Waikato are also well in the works so lets hear it if you may be keen and pretty soon we will have this whole country fizzing. Lets get together! More info here…

Emu Lost
by simon on Aug.08, 2012, under Birds, Fauna, Information, Location, Magazine, Western Australia
Imagine sitting down coffee in hand. Ummm that hit the spot. But wait whats that meandering around, pecking the ground? The coffee cup hits the deck and your mouth too.
An Emu is parading around your yard. Apparently this happens in some urban yards across Australia. While not so much in the metropolis of Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane except when petr or farmed emus escape.
