Martin Garcia's life story seems like something out of a Hollywood script. He emigrated from Mexico to the United States in 2003 and went to work at a deli in Pleasanton, CA. After learning that Teri Terry, the owner of the deli, owned a horse, Garcia implored her to let him ride, and Terry discovered Garcia's innate talent.
"I turned around and he had grabbed her mane, walked up the side of her, and jumped on," Terry told Sfgate.com in an interview. "He proceeded to walk, trot and canter in the arena for over an hour. He started going over jumps bareback."
Terry recalled saying to herself, "Martin has got to be around horses."
That's when she introduced Garcia to Mark Hanna, a former jockey and current trainer in Northern California.
"The kid was a natural," Hanna told Sfgate.com. "He had really good balance and really good, soft hands. Horses just loved him."
Dennis Ward, a former trainer based at the now-defunct Bay Meadows, described Garcia as "a freak of nature."
"I looked at that kid and I said, 'Don't tell me that kid has never rode a race, he looked so natural it was unreal.' I'd show him something like how to switch sticks from one hand to another and he'd pick it up overnight. It usually takes years to learn how to ride (in races). He did it in months."
Garcia got his first victory in his third ever race, aboard longshot Wild Daydreamer at Bay Meadows in 2005. After matching riding legend Russell Baze mount-for-mount at the tender age of 21 at Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields, Garcia moved his tack to Southern California in 2006.
He had some decent years, compiling at least 90 wins a season from 2007-2009 while earning over $3.5 million in purse money each year. But Garcia got his big break in 2010 when Bob Baffert asked him to ride Lookin At Lucky in the Preakness Stakes. Lookin At Lucky would win convincingly, and Garcia would soon become Baffert's go-to rider.
In fact, the majority of Garcia's meaningful career wins have come aboard Baffert trainees such as Plum Pretty (2011 Kentucky Oaks), Coil (2011 Haskell Invitational), Secret Circle (2013 Breeders' Cup Sprint), New Year's Day (2013 Breeders' Cup Juvenile), Bayern (2014 Breeders' Cup Classic) and Dortmund (2015 Santa Anita Derby).
However, Garcia and Baffert had what Baffert described as a "falling-out" earlier this year, so Garcia's workload and winning percentage has dipped in 2016. But Garcia has formed new partnerships with other preeminent trainers out west such as Jerry Hollendorfer and Peter Eurton, so the naturally-gifted rider with a Hollywood story can't be written off just yet.

About the author
Preface[Page xv]
Business and management research is fast becoming an important element of business organizations. In many countries, research has some bearing on the extent of government funding on education. Universities that seek domestic and foreign students use research ranking as one of their key attraction points. Organizations, recognizing that learning from other organizations' mistakes is less painful than learning from their own mistakes, are increasingly engaged in research-informed decision-making.
Research is the systematic inquiry or investigation into a subject in order to discover or revise facts, theories and applications. Research allows us to generate more awareness of human behaviours, organizations and society. Research also allows organizations to reduce uncertainty as due diligence is done before any new ventures are implemented. Over time, as tertiary institutions and organizations recognize the importance of business and management research, research capabilities and research programmes start to take centre stage. This in turn generates significant interests in research design and methods, which involve the fundamental skills required to conduct any form of research.
The number of books on research design and methods that are on the market are increasing by the day. We see mainly two types of books. First is the type that deals with mainly design, and, like this book, is concerned with how a researcher or student goes about conducting research, right from the inception of idea to the published outputs. Second, which is what this book is not, is the type that is more tailored to specific research methods. For example, there are books that cater broadly to quantitative research methods or qualitative research methods. There are also books that deal with more specific methods such as case studies, multivariate analysis, content analysis, etc. You almost will not run out of options in terms of finding a book that fits with what you might need.
Yet, despite the abundance of research books on research design and methods, two observations have to be made. First, most research design books are structured in a way that pitches the process of conducting research as a linear one involving sequentially structured components. While the components of the research are no doubt generally structured in a certain way to allow more clarity, the actual process of research is far from linear. A linear structure will allow more systematic learning – but definitely not a good reflection of the reality of research.
Secondly, and I would say more critical than the first observation, most books are pitched in a way that suggests that somehow the research process itself is a [Page xvi]prescriptive one. In other words, for each phase of a research project, as long as you handle the expectations of what is required, you will be fine in your research work. Of course, it is again easier for systematic learning if a textbook is prescriptive. However, what happens more often is that when a student or researcher hits a hurdle in the research process, they struggle to find help. Normally, this is the kind of implicit, tacit knowledge that is not well documented, and in such instances students are often reliant only on their research supervisor or mentor.
It is these two observations, which I have repeatedly experienced in my time teaching research design and methods, supervising students and researching, that gave rise to the idea for this book. While this book will not cover all the various research processes that are not dealt with by other books, it is a good step towards providing a more realistic view of the actual research process. While I seek here to decode some of the more commonly understood, tacit knowledge of research, clearly the content of this book – especially in terms of research reminders – should not be treated as being prescriptive. Rather, these reminders should just be treated as a guide; the actual research process in the cognitive sense is in fact much more complicated than it is pitched in this book.
The picture is further complicated by the fact that the expectations of rigour differ across international, regional and national journals, as well as across research degrees and tertiary institutions. Researchers from different areas in business and management also do not possess the same research skills. As such, the training of their students and the students' exposure to research follow paths that actually result in differences in research students' perception of what research exactly is when they graduate.
This book aims to provide an introductory to intermediate level (depending on the level to which it is utilized) guide to the research process and research method approaches in business and management. It provides extensive discussions of both the explicit and tacit knowledge embedded in research. The book is particularly well suited to both senior undergraduate and graduate students undertaking research dissertations, theses and projects. It can also work as a textbook for research-oriented courses. As the book also includes practical aspects of research, it is also suitable for managers who want to undertake research-informed projects to underpin their decision-making.
The standard features of the chapters in this book include conversation boxes, end-of-chapter summaries, end-of-chapter questions, key terms, illustrations and figures, references and further readings. A glossary is also provided at the end of the book for easier referencing. The conversation box feature serves to highlight some of the issues discussed in the text and at the same time draws your attention to some of the dilemmas that will surface in the research process.Outline of the Book
The first chapter covers the basic understanding of business research – including its importance, dissemination and basic terminologies. It also includes a brief [Page xvii]overview of the types of research and some fundamental research expectations. This is followed by a discussion of ethical behaviour and the consequences of not adhering to ethical standards when conducting research. The chapter rounds off with an overview of the research process.
Chapter 2 highlights some of the misperceptions and fundamental challenges of research. The chapter also briefly discusses some common judgement calls experienced in research. Chapter 3 starts with the sources from which research questions can be derived and the approaches to the research problem. It also lists potential starting points for searching for the research question and how to go about doing a systematic search in the literature. Sources of information are then presented. Finally, the chapter discusses what constitute a good research question.
Chapter 4 provides some aspects of the process of conducting a literature review – what it contains, how best to utilize source articles and how to synthesize the search results. The chapter also covers referencing systems and the do's and don'ts when we reference. Chapter 5 provides a guide for research designs. It also includes a comparison of correlation and causality research, and research that involves contingencies. The chapter rounds off with a discussion of the levels of analysis and some illustrations of research designs.
Unlike physical science, research in social science is often hindered by data availability and measurements. Many interesting ideas in research on social science cannot be addressed due to the hard-to-codify nature of social science. Chapter 6 highlights some of these issues and also provides guidelines for understanding basic data and measurement. Chapter 7 discusses in detail some of the more common data collection methods, and their advantages and disadvantages.
Chapter 8 covers the use of basic statistics, bivariate analysis and exploratory analysis. Chapter 9 includes basic to intermediate levels of analytical tools commonly used in quantitative research while Chapter 10 covers basic to intermediate levels of analytical tools used in qualitative research. As mentioned earlier, this book is not positioned as a guide to methodology. Rather, it is a book about research process, with the intention to provide some guidelines on the methods to be adopted. Both chapters 9 and 10 will include some discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of adopting various quantitative and qualitative research methods. It will also include circumstances in which a method is inappropriate or unnecessary.
Chapter 11 highlights the components of reporting in a research thesis or project. It also discusses the importance of reporting research processes in research as part of the research training. The framing of the research results to cater to different stakeholders is also extensively covered. The book concludes with Chapter 12, on the importance of the research environment. This final chapter will discuss the factors that might enhance a researcher's performance. Specifically, the chapter covers the roles of individuals, groups, research institutions and academic/business associations as environmental factors that facilitate the research process.[Page xviii]

Avril Lavigne is back and as cheeky as ever on her self-titled album, out Tuesday (November 5).
The pop princess might be newly married to Nickelback frontman and album collaborator Chad Kroeger, but as she so proudly declared on the album's lead single, she has no plans to grow up anytime soon.
Nestled between more-adult ballads like "Hush Hush" and "Let Me Go," the 29-year-old is as bratty and fun-loving as ever, singing about cute bad boys, make-out sessions and being "the motherfreaking princess." She lets loose just as much as ever on the follow-up to 2011's Goodbye Lullaby.
With the album ready for public consumption, MTV News is taking a look back at what the singer had to say about some of the standout tracks on the release.
"Here's To Never Growing Up"
Avril set the tone for the release on this pop-punk track, which was co-written by her hubby. The album's lead single celebrates being young and free forever. "It's pop rock, up-tempo. It's a fun song," Lavigne shared back in May. "It's about wanting to be young forever. Doesn't matter what age you are; it's all about your spirit, state of mind. And I know I certainly don't want to grow up, so there are more songs on the record like this."
"Bad Girl"
What happens when Marilyn Manson and Avril hook up on a track? Something very naughty. "I have a song called 'Bad Girl' and it's one of the heavier, more darker tunes on this record," she told MTV News. "[It's] one of my favorite songs on this record. Manson and I have been quite friendly over the years and when I heard the song, it kind of made me think about him. So I called him up and he came into the studio and we played each other some music. And he laid some vocals on the track and he killed it. It was definitely an honor."
"Let Me Go"
Lavigne has never been afraid to show her vulnerable side and she does just that on this ballad, which features Kroeger. "So working with Chad was awesome because I found a husband and that was the best thing that came out of the experience," she joked back in September. "No, we had a great time. We really just celebrated music together and we both love writing and creating; it's nonstop. Even though the record's done now and we recorded it, like, we're always around the house coming up with new ideas and concepts. It's really inspiring."
"Hello Kitty"
Avril embraced her inner Skrillex on this rave-ready ode to Sanrio's most famous cat. "I love Hello Kitty so much there's a song on the record called 'Hello Kitty.' Pink is my favorite color … I'm really excited about this song. I'm obsessed with Hello Kitty and it's really fun and the sound is different," she told Ryan Seacrest earlier this year.
She later told MTV News, " 'Hello Kitty' … has an electronic feel. All the sounds and styles hit on sounds that I've touched on before, and I've also experimented."

Lent, Day 29: Salad Bar Fail
Noah's birthday is tomorrow, so we decided to take him out to Chuck E. Cheese's for dinner tonight. We'd go tomorrow, but it's a Down Day and this seems easier than switching the weekend around. (Besides, the weather tomorrow is supposed to be really yucky.)
Since I'm still doing the vegetarian thing because of Lent, I opted for the salad bar rather than forcing the family to make half of the pizza cheese-only. Not much of a sacrifice, really, because as it happens Chuck E. Cheese's has a pretty good salad bar. A nice selection of vegetables and fruit, it always looks really fresh, and the assortment of crunchy bits they offer is really good.
But there is one area in which Chuck E. Cheese's salad bar commits a Salad Bar Fail, and that is this:
When you order the Salad Bar at CEC, they give you a plate and a fork. They HAVE knives on the premises, but you get them with the pizza. There is no convenient way to get your hands on one without asking.
This is hardly a big deal at most salad bars, since everything 'forkable' is usually bite-sized to begin with. The Fail comes in here with respect to CEC's peppers and red salad onions. They have them available as cross-section rings, not small pieces. And in both cases (especially the onions) the 'rings' are huge. There's no way anyone is going to be able to get the whole thing into their mouth at once, even if that were desirable. But unless you REALLY REALLY love onion as an isolated flavor, odds are you want to eat it in conjunction with other things.
So, again: big onion ring, no knife. Oh, and the plate they give you is styrofoam, which makes it a less-than-ideal cutting surface when your only cutting implement is a plastic fork. (Not that it's stellar when you're using a plastic knife either, come to think of it.) Therefore, your alternative is, I guess, to stab the ring up with a huge forkful of salad and just bite at it in chunks, or use your fingers to tear the onion into pieces before you toss your salad. And if your tastes run to peppers, you have the same problem.
Inconvenient. Therefore: fail. If you're not going to supply knives, make sure your salad bar offerings are bite-sized. Thank you. 😉
Otherwise, it was a good salad bar. Enough that I went back three times. My appetite is definitely back in force, so I need to start being careful.

I like to tell everyone that the reason true horsemen laugh at four-wheelers is because they have a true hovercraft.
Horses have the ability to move any direction, including up and down and sideways, and they also have self-working, "autopilot" capabilities that are nonexistent in their mechanical substitutes. But the four-wheeler is limited to awkward turns, ramps, and terrains that accommodate wheels. Almost 30 years ago, when I owned a horse rental business, I offered a rancher I knew use of my horses for help rounding up cattle. This rancher used four wheel drive pickups and three wheelers for the most part (this is before four wheelers became fashionable). Like many modern day cattlemen, he knew more about partnering with man's machines than God's creation. He said he thought he had it covered with his equipment, but I could bring some horses anyway.
The morning I brought the horses to help him round up cattle, there was about 9 or 10 inches of snow on the ground. There was 12 to 14 inches originally, but some had melted the day before, then refroze, leaving a hard crust on top. My hired hand and I saddled some horses and rode past two three-wheelers and a four wheel drive truck spinning their tires in the snow. Those vehicles would go a little way on top of the crust of snow and then drop through and spin helplessly. Their hired hands would shovel or push to get going on the snow again, then drop through and spin again. We rounded up the cattle and got them into the corral with just us horsemen and some overworked men on foot.
The U.S marine slogan "when the going gets tough, the tough get going" could also be used for horsemanship.
Another story that shows the value of a working horse is as follows. There was another friend of mine that still used horses for working cattle. He told me of a story about a bull that was acting aggressively toward him on his horse. He said that the bull charged them, came up under his horse's belly and nearly tipped it over.
His horse was able to regroup and get ready for the next charge. This time the horse turned its tail toward the bull and let him have it in the head with both hind feet. The bull then dropped to his knees with his head swaying. My friend said he couldn't tell whether the bull was drunk, praying or both.
One horse hoof must have connected with the bull's head pretty good because he wore an imprint of it for a while. He must have come to Jesus in his own way, because from there on out he gave my friend a wide berth.
The biggest excuse for using four-wheelers in this modern world is because in the short run they are hands down easier than horses. Just as computers are now made for dummies, so are today's wheeled substitutes for four legs.
Although it is wise to choose the path of least resistance when planning an efficient day, we see that it begins to limit our options when we continually treat our minds and bodies this way. True horsemanship can multiply the value of horse and human, magnifying their abilities, whereas machines lose value, and do not help our growing trend toward unhealthy bodies.
So my biggest spiel for using horses when we can is going to be along the lines of keeping our bodies running faster, and jumping higher longer in life. If not for ourselves, we should do it as an inspiration for younger generations. But success with horses demands "prior and proper preparation that prevents p-poor performance," a quote attributed to renowned horseman Pat Parelli.
I have always tried to communicate clearly the "Jesus Christ aspect" of horsemanship. Healthy bodies and safety demand that horse and human sweat together on issues that both would rather avoid.
In my last column, I communicated that we must specifically work on courage and bravery, or we will lose whatever courage and bravery we have. We love to hear stories of horses rising to the occasion when needed, but we need to help them do it. The alternative is judging them for what happens when "we" do not prepare them right and therefore they fail. I do not like gory movies and stories, much like I do not think God intended humans and animals to be torn up as entertainment. I am convinced that those who get their kicks that way can do it all they want to each other, apart from God in hell (here is one of the reasons I see God must have a hell).
There is some good from gory stories. If we keep in mind what could happen to our horse or ourselves, it should motivate us to do what we know we should do in order to avoid needless tragedies. Again, we need to help our horses rather than judge them. I have always felt that unfair judgment territory is lazy territory. The opposite is sweating territory. Sweating territory is helping territory, and shows true religion far more than anything else.
In an evangelical church, we are asked to share Christ to a dying world. I can easily share Christ when I talk about what truly impresses me about him. I believe that the one and only creator, God himself, did pick a point in time to specifically take on a human body (probably more limiting than mine) to truly feel more blood, sweat, and tears in a way that none of us have ever, or will ever feel. I know that this specific Jesus Christ's perfect life, sacrifice, death, and resurrection is the only thing that gets me to heaven. I am convinced that it is the only thing that has ever conquered death. But as for here and now, I do not think that the words lazy and Christian can be used in the same sentence.
There are two other words that do not belong together: lazy and horseman. On the positive side for those who are looking forward to it, there will be two words that will fit perfectly together: Jesus and horseman. In the long run, we will all see this picture pointed out in Revelation 19.
Next time, I will go into the specifics of "backing," then move on to "sideways. These are two of the essentials of maneuverability.

You will definitely recognise the talented, and very lovely, Katie. She demonstrates for Sizzix, and manages to inspire us, whilst juggling a hectic life – and has even managed to find time to answer some questions:
Hi Katie, thank you for taking time out to answer a few questions for us. You are such a busy lady, with your family, designing, and being on the motorway so much – how do you manage to fit it all in!!
Thank you for asking me! It's an absolute pleasure. To be totally honest I don't have a clue how I do it! So many people ask me how I manage to make it all work and keep the children happy, the business running smoothly and everything just so! In all honesty I don't! Things are always chaotic in our house and sometimes I feel guilty that I have dragged my family into this crazy rollercoaster of a life I seem to have! In fact just as I am writing this my husband is mumbling something under his breath about everyone in this house being insane!! I suppose really we have got into a routine! I try to do a lot of work whilst 3 of the children are at school and then if I need to I carry on once they have gone to bed. funnily enough I find my time on the motorways the most relaxing of the week! it is the only time I get a peaceful environment to sit and think. I love to just put my music on and drive. It is total bliss!

Women and Persian Literature
Contemporary Iranian literature is formed from the Qadjair era and continues its evolution until the 1950s. However, the small number of Iranian women writers during this period did not allow a real feminine literary current to emerge.
The figure of women and women writers in Iran
The first steps of women in literature
Contemporary Iranian literature is formed from the Qadjair era and continues its evolution until the 1950s. However, the small number of Iranian women writers during this period did not allow a real feminine literary current to emerge. Social and family constraints did not favor the flourishing of the feminine literary fiber. Those who had the ambition to write avoided handing the pen for fear of not being up to it, and those who ventured to write were often hidden behind male pseudonyms - a kind of guarantee of freedom of expression. The publication of their works was also not without difficulty. Their participation in literary circles was closely linked to their social success. At the beginning of the twentieth century, when educated women gathered in committee tried to gain rights for the betterment of their condition, they aroused violent reactions and suffered multiple threats. These obstacles have not prevented them from setting up private schools for girls, women's rights foundations and journals addressing specific issues affecting them.
After the First World War, journals and schools became the two main sources of a certain autonomy and intellectual life for Iranian women. Ms. Hassan Khan Kahal created Danesh, the first women's magazine, in 1910. After her, Maryam Amid Mozayan-ol-Saltaneh, director of the Mozayaneh School, published the magazine Shokoufeh in Tehran between 1913 and 1918. In her wake, different journals published for women began to appear in different cities of Iran. In Isfahan for example, then to Mashhad, Rasht, Shiraz and Bandar Anzali. One of the most important periodicals of this period was entitled Alam-e Nassvan (The World of Women), and was published between 1920 and 1934 under the leadership of Mrs. Navabeh Safavi. This magazine appeared every two months in Teheran in thirty-eight pages, and its main themes were medicine, fashion and literature in prose and poetry. In a way, this review presented itself as a response to women's illiteracy and social problems. It had such an impact that other magazines of the time decided in their turn to devote a section to women.
From the 1920s, women poets began to make themselves known to the general public by evoking the themes and claims of the literature of the time. One of the most modern essayists of this time was undoubtedly Bibi Estar Abadi, who published Ma'ayyeb-ol Redjal (The Defects of Men), a kind of essay in favor of the evolution of the relationship between men and women.
Iranian women's literature of the 1940s
The presence of women in literature and their connection with this artistic and social field in the early 1940s is one of the manifestations of profound change in Iran. It was a period of transition that produced extreme feelings, between admiration and hatred. It was at this moment that the modern era of female writing really began. In the beginning, women only imitated the works written by men while marking a particular interest in morals and ethics. They regarded literature as a means or a weapon to instruct their fellow men and to warn them of certain potential dangers. This trend lasted some twenty years, before a notable change in the form and substance of their writings appeared in the early 1960s.
In the late 1960s, Simin Daneshvar revolutionized Persian literature with his masterpiece, Suvashun. This novel was one of the most read at the time. The choice of a narrator, of a woman, and not of a man as the time would have it, made the most of the success of this work. Daneshvar adopts the same method of narration in his other works, including the novel "To whom to say hello? (Be ki salam konam) and the novel The Island of Uncertainty (Jazireh-ye Sargardani). In Daneshvar, the narrator establishes a strong link between the reader and the work while the main characters, those who advance events in history, are men.
After Simin Daneshvar, there were many women writers who dared to write and publish their novels and short stories, including Shahrnouch Parsipour, Ghazaleh Alizadeh, Mahshid Amirshahi, Monirou Ravanipour, Goli Taraghi and many others whose works were generally well received by critics and the public. According to studies of the literary production of Iranian women writers in the contemporary world, the evolution of the situation and status of women in literature before and after the Revolution is considered significant. In the 1960s, there were about twenty-five women writers in Iran, whereas currently there are 3 women writers for 5 men writers. It seems, therefore, that the literature has paved the way for the struggle of women in a society that can still be considered patriarchal.
Before the 1979 Revolution
Shahrnouch Parsipour was only sixteen when she published her short stories at different publishers. "Touba and the meaning of the night" (Touba va mana-ye shab), "Women without men" (Zanan-e bedoun-e mardan), "The dog and the long winter" (Sag va zemestan-e boland) are part of his best writings. She illustrates, in her works, the sickly atmosphere of the condition of abandoned and unsupported women. Her works have a particular originality because the elements and the characters treated are inspired at the same time, of the Persian mythology and the contemporary reality of their life.
Ghazaleh Alizadeh is another successful writer who began writing in 1976 with her first novel, "After Summer" (Bad Az Tabestan). A year later, in 1977, she published a collection of three short stories entitled The Untouchable Journey (Safar-e Nāgozashtani) and in 1991, a two-volume novel, The House of Edrisi (Khaneh-ye Edrisi-ha) to which she owes his fame. His characters are solitary women and men who have withdrawn from the world because of mental disorders. She believes that we should not see the problems of women from a single angle and that we must put things into perspective by honestly reflecting on the negative and positive sides of both genres.
Mahshid Amirshahi, for his part, began his literary life in France with his novel In Captivity (Dar Hasr) before publishing In Travel (Dar Safar). The first is an autobiography in which she recounts her memories in Iran, and the second shows her life after her arrival in France. She also wrote Sar bibi khanum, Afternoon (Bad az zohr) and In the first person singular (Be sigheh-ye down shakhs-e mofrad). Women, in her works, have original personalities: one is a peasant woman without complexity, while the other is politically engaged, modern and intellectual.
Monirou Ravanipour is one of the writers before the Revolution, but all his works were published from the 80s. His travels in the southern regions of Iran were the backbone of his first novel. It fed mainly on the customs and customs of the Iranian tribes, and especially the condition of women in these marginal countries. In Satan's Stones (Sang-Hye Sheytan), she tells the story of a young girl's return to her hometown in one of the southern villages of Iran. His works are tinged with an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and realistic. She also wrote other novels namely Kanizou, Ahl-e Ghargh, The Heart of Lead (Del-e Foulad), The Beggar by the Fire (Koli Kenat-e Atash), and some news.
Goli Taraghi is one of the best-known contemporary Iranian writers who has devoted herself to literature from an early age. Her first novel, I am also Che Guevara (Man ham Che Guevara hastam) has a highly social theme. Then, she continued her activities by moving towards the theme of immigration in France. Her heroines are mostly mothers, wives and daughters. They are neither different nor original. Taraghi speaks in her own way of Iranian-led tradition and traditionalist society led by men.
After the Revolution
After the Islamic Revolution of 1979, the production of women increased considerably in quality and quantity. According to Shahrnouch Parsipour, the experience of the Revolution and the Iran-Iraq war projected women into the literary, social and economic arena. During this period, literary production experienced an unprecedented boom, so that for example in 1991, the publication of novels, short stories and women's literary works was multiplied by thirteen compared to the previous decade.
Zoya Pirzad, a writer of Armenian origin, began her literary career in the 90s with a collection including the news "As every night" (Mesl-e hameh-ye asr-ha), "The astringent taste of persimmon" ( Ta'm-e gas-e khormalou), "A day before Easter" (Yek ruz mandeh be eide pauk), which met with great success. In the 2000s, she published J'éteins les lumières (Tcheragh-hara man khamouch mikonam). Her heroine, Clarisse, a traditional woman living a tormented life, is abused by other women in the family. But this rhythm is broken with the arrival of new neighbors. This new family plays a big role in the evolution of her personality by making her discover traits she did not know before. Pirzad won the prize for the best novel at the Golshiri Festival in 2000. In her other novel We'll get used to (Adat mikonim), the character of the heroine is strangely similar to that of Clarisse, as if these two characters were only a. But this time, it's her encounter with a man who changes the course of his life.
Fariba Vafi is another novelist after the Revolution whose novel My bird (Parandeh-ye man) has won several literary awards. This story revolves around a central theme, the family home. Her narrator is a tenant who becomes the owner of an apartment of fifty square meters. The story depicts the tension in a couple for the sale of the apartment. In her works, the family and the role of women occupy an important place.
Farkhondeh Aghai also won the Golshiri Prize for hes masterpiece "He taught it to Satan and burned it" (Be sheytan amoukht va souzand) in 2005. This explains the story of an Armenian married to a Muslim and her desire to learn, to evolve, to have an easy life, to get what she wants and to fight for.
The first collection of short stories by Mahsa Moheb Ali, titled The Voice (Seda) was published in the late 1990s. Four years later, she presents her novel The Gray Curse (Nefrin-e khakestari) but what made her to really be known is her romantic set Being in Footnote (Asheghiat dar Pardvaraghi) which has been awarded the Golshiri Prize and the Press Critics Prize. Then she published Do not worry (Negaran Nabash) at Tchechmeh editions (the book has recently reached its eleventh edition). She is interested in the worldview of the new generation and tells about her situation and her problems in this novel.
Finally, Shiva Arastoui, author of the news "I came for a cup of tea with my daughter" (Amadeh Boudam Ba Dokhtaram Tchai Bokhoram), "The Sun and the Moon" (Aftab Mahtab), "I'm not a girl" ( Man dokhtar nistam) and novels such as Bibi Shahrzad and Afioun. She won the Golshiri Prize and the Yalda Award in 2003. The situation of women and their relationship with the outside and inside world is of particular concern to her. Men and their presence occupy a secondary place in her works, and the heroines of her stories have similar characteristics, suggesting the existence of similarities between her narrative heroines and herself.
According to the Iranian publishers, the most read novels of the past two decades have mostly been written by women. These are linear novels without complexity, but which attract the reader by their beauty of style and accessibility. They bring their readers into a nostalgic atmosphere and reveal the lives of middle-class or "oppressed" women, who are eager to fight with their country's society, history and culture, and who seek truths. "feminine" solutions, highlighted by a feminine look and intended for a female readership.

JAMMU: Kashmir's so-called mainstream got convulsions over conferment of Padma Vibushan to Jagmohan, the two times Governor of Jammu and Kashmir. In a fit of rage and anger, the leaders, cutting across their party affiliations, issued nasty statements, questioning the decision of Narendra Modi led BJP Government. Two of the accusations-Gawakadal killings and forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits-dominated the sinister list of charges levelled against the man, who is contrary to Kashmir, revered by the people of Jammu and Ladakh.
Ironically, the renewed tirade against Jagmohan was spearheaded by none other than the National Conference, which abandoned its constitutional obligations, handed over the State (in this case Kashmir) virtually to Jihadis and deserted the Valley for good, leaving behind trail of destruction and bloodshed. Due to inaction of the National Conference Government, the Valley had almost reached a flash-point. Today, or even earlier, when Kashmiri leaders are holding Jagmohan responsible for what happened on Gawakadal Bridge in Srinagar on 20th January, they are conveniently ignoring that he was appointed as the Governor that very day. Even before having touched the skies of the State, how could he have engineered the killings? By putting blame on him, they are (and have successfully provided) providing a shield to the then administration, especially the police hierarchy from top to bottom, which could have deliberately created a situation where in 50 persons lost their lives. After all, General Zia-ul-Haq's Op TOPAC envisaged all this…lot many killings, harassing Indian symbols, bringing senior officers and politicians into the fold of so-called Jihad etcetera. Despite over two and half decades, one wonders why this important aspect missed the attention of the governments. The 20th January incident needed a high level probe, not because the image of Jagmohan was maligned but because it turned out as a turning point in Kashmir terrorism after the release of terrorists in lieu of Rubaya Sayeed's release. Those were the crucial months when many in the top level of the State administration had developed a sort of sympathy with the cause marauders were espousing.
How could Farooq Abdullah take such a strong stance over the appointment of Jagmohan as the Governor? He had himself eulogised him as a dynamic Governor with commitment to development in the earlier stint publicly and remarked, "If he (Jagmohan) ever fights elections, he will win hands down". Farooq Abdullah's campaign against Jagmohan vitiated further the charged atmosphere in the Valley. In the words of Jagmohan (which he wrote to Rajiv Gandhi on 21st April 1991) In regard to the conditions prevailing before and after my arrival on the scene, you and your collaborators have been perverting reality. The truth is that before the imposition of Governor's rule on 19th January, 1990, there was a total mental surrender. Even prior to the day (8th December, 1989) of Dr. Rubaiye Sayeed's kidnapping, when the eagle of terrorism swooped the State with full fury, 1,600 violent incidents, including 351 bomb blasts had taken place in eleven months. Then between 1st January and 19th January, 1990, there were as many as 319 violent acts – 21 armed attacks, 114 bomb blasts, 112 arsons, and 72 incidents of mob violence.
You, perhaps, never cared to know that all the components of the power structure had been virtually taken over by the subversives. For example, when Shabir Ahmed Shah was arrested in September 1989, on the Intelligence Bureau's tip- off, Srinagar Deputy Commissioner flatly refused to sign the warrant of detention. Anantnag Deputy Commissioner adopted the same attitude. The Advocate-General did not appear before the Court to represent the State case. He tried to pass on the responsibility to the Additional Advocate General and the Government Council. They, too, did not appear.
Do you not remember what happened on the day of Lok Sabha poll on 22nd November, 1989 ? In a translating gesture, TV sets were placed near some of the polling booths with placards reading "anyone who will cast his vote will get this". No one in the administration of Dr. Farooq Abdullah took any step to remove such symbols of defiance of authority".
These are few of the many questions every compatriot would like to know from Farooq Abdullah and his die-hard supporters who keep meddling in murkier waters whenever the dark period of Kashmir in January 1990 or the forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits is discussed. They conveniently hoodwink the public opinion by spilling venom and speaking lies to cover up their misdeeds and abject surrender to 'Mujahids'. Some of these leaders had even disowned to be the members of National Conference through paid advertisements.
To be concluded.

As Amazon.com Inc. (Seattle) looks to expand Whole Foods (Austin, Texas) locations into more regions, it's considering purchasing defunct Sears (Hoffman Estates, Ill.) and Kmart stores for its new locations.
Last month Whole Foods managers visited a former Utah Kmart store that shuttered in 2017, reports Yahoo! Finance.
While the higher-end grocery chain now has more than 470 locations, it still has far fewer than Walmart (Bentonville, Ark.) and Kroger (Cincinnati), its top competitors. The company has grown since being acquired by Amazon, and is now opening locations in rural states like Wyoming and Montana.
Whole Foods didn't respond to Yahoo! Finance's requests for comment, but its EVP of Growth and Business Development Jim Sud said at a retail real estate event in Dallas on Tuesday, "We're looking for the best location we can find, so if that's an existing center – second-generation space – that meets our criteria… we'll jump all over it."

British craftsmen of the 18th-century discovered what their Eastern counterparts had known for centuries, that teak has qualities unlike any other wood. Its abilities to withstand the rigors of adverse climate, yet weather attractively, make it the ideal choice for exterior furnishings. We use only premium quality teak and precise mortise and tenon joinery in the construction of our furniture. And while our reputation was founded on teak, our furniture designs have expanded to incorporate the finest stainless steel and all-weather wicker as well. This combination of quality material and craftsmanship provides you with exterior furnishings of exceptional style and durability.
Preservation of the Earth's ecological system is today a major concern. Indiscriminate deforestation of the Amazon Basin and other rainforests has led to widespread suspicion by the public of those companies in the teak industry. Kingsley-Bate is the first American company to use Javanese teak in the manufacture of its furniture. Our teak is harvested from carefully controlled plantations, established in Indonesia by the Dutch in the mid-19th century. The Indonesian government allows the felling of a limited number of trees each year, and ensures that an equal amount of reforestation takes place. In 1983 Kingsley-Bate, in conjunction with the Indonesian government and its people, undertook to develop a teak furniture program in Java. Since then, Indonesia and Kingsley-Bate have shown that such a program can be implemented without detriment to that country's natural resources. Due to the increasing demand for this beautiful hardwood, Kingsley-Bate now uses a select amount of Burmese teak in its productions. Whether Javanese or Burmese, you can be assured that we use only the finest quality teak in our furniture.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Manpower, Inc. MAN, -0.12% said second-quarter net profit almost doubled to $160.4 million, or $1.86 a share, from $80.4 million, or 91 cents a share, a year earlier. The latest results were helped by a gain of 66 cents a share as a result of a change in the calculation of French payroll taxes and a gain of 5 cents a share for currency fluctuations. Excluding these exceptional items, the company would have earned $1.15 a share. The average forecast of analysts polled by Thomson Financial was for earnings of $1.20 a share. Sales at the temporary-employment company climbed 15% to $5 billion. Manpower said it expects third-quarter net earnings in the range of $1.39 to $1.43 a share, including a favorable currency impact of 8 cents a share.

Keeping track of the ones you love has never been as simple as it is today thanks to the advancements in technology like Bluetooth and personal devices with GPS built into them. Kevin Harringotn who some might know from his role as an entrepreneur and investor on the popular TV show Shark Tank, has just announced today that they are launching a device called 'Yepzon' in America and will be making it available to consumers immediately. In fact, consumers can already purchase the Yepzon over on Amazon and on the official Yepzon website for about $129.
So what is the Yepzon? It's a small GPS and Bluetooth enabled locator device that connects to your smartphone via a companion app, allowing users to track virtually anything as long as the Yepzon is turned on. It comes with a strap to be worn around the neck or you can store in bags or pockets, the glove compartment of your car etc and through the app users can get accurate location information on the whereabouts of the little device. It also has embedded NFC technology for easier pairing with Android devices, although it also works with Windows and iOS and can be paired via Bluetooth. The app itself also serves as a means to turn on the Yepzon device as it holds no power buttons itself, so it looks like little more than a piece of jewelry. The device can also activate itself on its own if it senses movement.
Those worried about sensitive data can rest easy as the Yepzon is said to store no personal data of any kind and no personal data is collected by the app, and should it find its way into more of a wet climate, this is OK too as the Yepzon is completely waterproof. The Yepzon boasts weeks to months of battery life depending on the frequency of use, and when it needs a charge the user is notified via the app making the battery life issue worry free. Using the Yepzon Cloud, users can also modify how often the device pings a location (how often it updates) allowing for some customization based on personal needs. For example, if you use it to keep track on the whereabouts of your kids, you can set it to update the location more often, or if you prefer you can use the app to also turn it off if it won't be in use for a specific period of time.

Crafts in Medieval Malbork. The state of research, and prospects for further study
By Aleksandra Girsztowt
Kultūra – ekonomika – visuomenė: sąveika ir pokyčiai viduramžiais ir ankstyvaisiais naujaisiais laikais Baltijos rytinėje pakrantėje, ed. M.Ščavinskas (Klaipėda, 2015)
Introduction: The main idea of this article is to present the present state and the future of research on crafts in Medieval Malbork. As the capital city of the Teutonic Order's state, Malbork is very interesting because of the castle in the town. Crafts were practised both in the town and in the castle area, so relations and competition between them influenced their development.
Along with trade, crafts were one of the most important foundations of economic life in Medieval and Early Modern towns. They were usually less profitable than trade, both from a financial and a social point of view.
Malbork was one of the 93 towns of the Teutonic Order's state, and, according to its political power and influence, it was one of the smaller towns; the large ones were Gdańsk Old Town, Toruń (Thorn) Old Town, Elbląg (Elbing) Old Town, Królewiec (Königsberg) Old Town, Chełmno (Kulm), and Braniewo (Braunsberg). According to its economy, Malbork could be counted as a 'medium town', like Chojnice (Könitz), Toruń (Thorn) New Town or Elbląg (Elbing) New Town.
It was officially founded in 1286, like many towns and villages in this area, near an old Prussian settlement, called Santyr. When the Teutonic Knights started building a castle here, the new town grew up around the castle. Malbork had probably been a storage and defensive place during the conquest of Prussia since 1279. From 1309, it was the capital of the Teutonic Order's state, and the main residence of the Grand Master.
