Resume: China's "soft power" re-emergence in Southeast Asia Johannes Dragsbaek Schmidt Associate Professor Research Center on Development and International Relations Aalborg University Email. firstname.lastname@example.com ABSTRACT Globalization is rapidly changing the overall structure of the international division of labor with the shift of services and manufacturing from the old industrialized economies to the new emerging giants - the global office platform in India and the global factory floor in China. This dislocation in production, services and manufacturing signifies a challenge which might be more important, but nevertheless part and parcel of the inherent imbalances in the world economy. Until recently there has been much academic and layman attention on over-production, growing inequalities, the increasing North-South gap, the roaring conflicts over energy and raw materials including oil and water, turbulence and crisis in the international financial system, and not least the fact that the present phase of capitalism has led to jobless growth in the established core economies in Europe and the United States. The question for the international political economy is where and how do countries like India and China fit in?

A global perspective on ICT and illiteracyNielsen, Janni (København, 2005)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The process of globalization is opening new windows for Danish initiatives. The requirement for innovation and development of new areas as a consequence of the globalization will lead to radical changes and the IT businesses need to take active part in the development. But in order to understand and explain the globalization process we also have to understand the limitations. One such limitation is found in the global digitalization of information- and communication processes. This global development requires, from the world citizens, literacy in use of computers. The majority of the world populations are illiterates, they are not only technical illiterates but also illiterates in the traditional sense: they cannot read and write, however, the global ICT development largely disregards the problem with illiteracy and cultural differences. It seems that a future area of growth for the Danish IT business with their specific competencies may be to strengthen the user oriented and interdisciplinary approaches to design and development of ICT applications - targeted to specific cultural groups and the illiterates - in developing countries and also to large groups of immigrants in the developed world. India is an example of the global structural changes. India has developed an impressive ICT industry and has a very high level of expertise in software engineering. India's government has a vision for e-democracy and have implemented e-government systems, which also address the rural populations. But the Indian population is very large and the potential users are highly diverse groups of which many are illiterate. Denmark has an IT industry that supplements India's, e.g. a strong expertise in e-government, and ICT for the agriculture. Denmark has a long tradition for cooperation between IT developers, researchers and users and is strong in interdisciplinary approaches to development and design of ICT applications. Denmark also has a tradition for a human centred design, and usability is seen as a competitive factor. In India usability is on the agenda in only few IT companies, and it is also new to the academic world (Pradeep Y. 2004). Copenhagen Business School, department of Informatics has for the last 18 months been involved in the establishment of a Euro-India Centre. The departments research group on human-computer interaction(HCI) has prioritized HCI work in the Asian world for the last 4 years (Clemmensen 2004, Nielsen Janni 2004, Nielsen, Clemmensen and Yssing 2002, Levinsen, K. 2002, Nielsen, Lene and Gregers Koch 2003). The wish for a collaborative network has come about as a result of meetings and discussions between researchers from especially India and Denmark and also from Great Britain and Sweden. The first Indian conference on HCI in December 2004 and the initiative from CBS, department of Informatics in May 2005 where an Indian – European workshop was held, created the basis for this network application.

Quantifying MNC Geographic ScopeGeisler Asmussen, Christian (København, 2006)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: This paper proposes a multidimensional index of regional and global orientation which can be used in confirmatory studies with econometric methodologies. Unlike extant measures, the index is objectively scaled and controls for home country orientation and market size differences. The index is shown to be consistent with models of internationalization that incorporate different assumptions about strategic choice and global competition. Preliminary results show that large multinationals follow home region oriented internationalization paths, although much of the regional effect reported by previous studies in fact reflects strong home country biases.

The evidence surrounds us, from the 25,000-plus MILF-branded mugs and tees on Café Press to a rash of hot-mama books (The Hot Mom's Handbook, Confessions of a Naughty Mommy, The MILF Anthology), television shows ( Desperate Housewives, The Real Housewives of Orange County, the forthcoming contest "Hottest Mom in America," and a pilot in development called MILF & Cookies), and, of course, a concomitant porn genre (though the majority of these films simply feature women in their late twenties or early thirties—dinosaurs in the porn biz—defiling baby-faced "pool boys" and "grocery clerks").
How exactly did a once-taboo erotic fetish become a widespread, culturally sanctioned ideal, a perverse mix of branding and empowerment? After all, a hot mom used to be a tragedy, whether in the literal sense (Oedipus' Mom-I'm-Fated-to-Fuck, Jocasta) or in the bittersweet Mrs. Robinson sense ("Oh, God. Oh, let me out," begs Benjamin Braddock). Alternately, it was an insult: "Oh, yeah? That's not what your mama said last night." A hot mom was by definition a bad mom.
The term's tipping point was the 1999 release of American Pie, in which a designated MILF named simply "Stifler's mom" devirginizes a grateful teen. The film is often credited with coining the acronym; however, poll ten guys who went to college in the early nineties and you'll find eight guys who recall the term fondly (and at least one claiming someone in his hometown invented it). This is all pre-Internet hearsay, of course: The earliest online reference is a 1995 Usenet post about a Playboy pictorial of hot moms. (Unless you count the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a Muslim separatist rebel group located in the southern Philippines.)
But why the hot mom, and why now? Maybe it has to do with women's procreating later, and being more hesitant to surrender a sexuality they've spent decades building. Maybe it's a looks thing, given that women can—with the aid of Pilates and a discreet tuck—turn back time to a sometimes disturbing degree. Perhaps it's a side effect of the rise of the hipster parenting generation. (What's less hip than having zero sex appeal?) And we can also thank Demi and Madonna for glamorizing May-December relationships.
Then there's the Viagra factor. "There are all these halftime commercials for Viagra shouting at men to take the lead sexually and make love like porn stars," says Ian Kerner, Ph.D., therapist-author of He Comes Next. "There's a lot of performance pressure on guys, so I think the idea of submitting to an older woman who can take charge is incredibly alluring."
But perhaps the weirdest aspect of the MILF phenomenon is how many moms themselves have embraced the term. By donning MILF T-shirts, they've made the I obsolete, declawing the dirty little joke on the playground. (Across the pond, Brits accomplished the same via the more polite term "yummy mummy.")
Jen, a 35-year-old divorced mother of two living in the Hudson Valley, says that in the past three years, she's had more sex than she did in her entire five-year relationship with her ex-husband—and she credits "the whole MILF thing": "It's totally cheesy, but ten years ago, I don't think there would have been so many 23-year-old guys who'd want to sleep with a 35-year-old mom." She estimates that 80 percent of the guys she's dated have been younger. "It's liberating and it's an ego boost—I'll drop my kids off at school and look at the other moms and think, Damn, I look good!"
But in the cultural analysis, not all MILFs are created equal. There's the good MILF: the one who is basically just a happy-go-lucky flirt with a lot of sexual confidence. She's the aforementioned Stacy's Mom, the subject of the Fountains of Wayne anthem of MILFhood—is it her fault that her daughter's boyfriend has a crush? She's just got it going on!
Then there are the MILFs who edge over into the MILF sister-category: the cougar. The punitive term implies an older woman as predator, a showy, sharp-clawed figure who turns the MILF hunter into the hunted. Think of it as a grown-up variant of the Girls Gone Wild phenomenon, except that while we may forgive an 18-year-old her lack of decorum—she was drunk, Joe Francis is a manipulating jackhole, she wanted that baseball hat real bad—her mom is supposed to know better.
Men salivate carnally for Demi twice: because she's had three kids and still moves like a Romanian gymnast; and because she dates an intrument 15 years her junior, who's best known for teenage video pranks on pimply O.C. cast members--and if that doesn't give wannabe MILFapfappers hope, nothing will.
We're not sure if Demi is the result of Pilates or plastic surgery, but after seeing that slow-motion, gymnastic bikini jog in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, we don't really care. The 42-year-old artiste formerly known as Mrs. Bruce Willis shamelessly takes the Mrs. Robinson crown, which we adorn with a 10, as 10 MILF stars.Parts from http:// nymag. com/news/features/2007/se xandlove/30915/

National Register Nominations
The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's official list of America's districts, sites, buildings, and objects worthy of preservation. The National Register is an important tool to help identify and inventory the nation's historic resources and ensure those resources are protected and carried on. There are currently more than 80,000 properties listed on the National Register.
Listing a property on the National Register does not impose any restrictions and may help to secure funding for a future restoration or rehabilitation project. The Center for Historic Preservation has completed several National Register nominations for Indiana historic districts and structures, ranging from nominations for historic downtowns and neighborhoods to individual bridges and buildings.
Historic Structure Reports
Historic Structure Reports (HSRs) are essential documents for planning a rehabilitation or restoration project. They provide key base information, especially important if the historic appearance is unknown, missing elements will be reconstructed, later additions will be removed, or the historic fabric will be modified. According to the National Park Service, a Historic Structure Report (HSR), "provides documentary, graphic and physical information about a property's history and existing condition. Broadly recognized as an effective part of preservation planning, a historic structure report also addresses management or owner goals for the use or re-use of the property." The Center for Historic Preservation is able to assist in all steps of an HSR.
HSRs contain thoroughly researched:
Working with the State of Indiana, Department of National Resources, and the Division of State Museum and Historic Sites, the Center for Historic Preservation has completed HSRs in communities across the state, including New Harmony, Corydon, Metamora, and Madison.
The work details a wide scope of many different types of structures from houses and government and commercial buildings to canals and historic sites.
Primary Research - Community and Building Histories The Center for Historic Preservation has access to a vast array of primary research resources as well as the knowledge base to access valuable resources throughout many communities in the Midwest.

From coreboot
The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
- AMD has been very actively supporting coreboot for a few years now. They have added support for many of their CPUs/chipsets including:
- The AMD SimNow simulator is a fast and configurable x86 and AMD64 dynamically-translating instruction-level platform simulator. With SimNow users can connect complex software models to form a PC platform emulation environment. SimNow™ emulates AMD Athlon™ 64 and AMD Opteron™ uniprocessor and multiprocessor based systems that run several commercial operating systems and applications.
- AMD Geode Porting Guide is a collection on information to help you on your way to porting coreboot to an AMD Geode platform.
- AMD frequently has active coreboot developers in the #coreboot channel on irc.freenode.net.
- VIA is helping the coreboot community support many new Epia's, mainboards and chipsets with several code donations and open programming guides. With key input from VIA, coreboot will soon support over 30 more Mini-ITX mainboards. These mainboards are made by VIA, Jetway, Phitronics and MSI featuring the VIA C7 CPU, CN700 and VT8237 chipset.
- The Linux VIA Portal aims to expand cooperation with open source communities by providing drivers, chipset programming manuals and source code to technical software developers.
- VIA has recently donated v2 Cache-as-Ram (CAR) source for the C7 CPU.
- VIA posted programming guides for CX700M/VX700 and VX800 at the VIA Download Portal.
- VIA helped with raminit for the CN700 so coreboot can now support all the C7 + CN700 + VT8237R boards (about 30-40 currently in production) in v2 and move them into v3.
- VIA helped support the VT8237S and KT890 for the ASUS A8V-E SE and ASUS M2V-MX SE.

Being Irish has always been a source of pride for its people, and with the Irish diaspora estimated at 70 million people worldwide (more than 13 times the population of the country itself), many are happy to boast at least a drop of Celtic blood running through their veins.
Even so diverse a group as Barack Obama, Muhammad Ali, Che Guevara, Georgia O'Keefe, Jean Charest, Jimi Hendrix, Lucille Ball, Mariah Carey and Johnny Rotten all have one thing in common – an Irish ancestor.
The Canadian 2006 census shows that Irish is the fourth largest ethnic group in Canada — about 14 per cent of the total population or 4.4 million people. Newfoundland and the Maritimes have the largest concentration of Irish but Ontario and Quebec (particularly Montreal) are also home to large Irish communities. While there were some Irish who came to Canada earlier, the vast majority arrived before, during and shortly after the Great Famine of 1845-1849.
Tracing your Irish ancestry, once a lengthy and difficult process, has never been easier than it is today. In anticipation of The Gathering 2013, a yearlong event promoted across the island by Tourism Ireland, genealogy centres around the country have been putting their records online to help people find their Celtic roots.
The Gathering 2013 is intended to invite everyone of Irish origins back home. In that spirit, Sabrina Joyce-Kemper and Christine Joyce, both great grandnieces of the Irish writer James Joyce, have also started Irishgathering2013.com to help people trace their ancestry. Their advice to anyone beginning the search is to start by talking to relatives.
"Start with your parents and work back from there. Listen to their stories and memories. They'll remember a family event that occurred at the same time as an historical event and that will give you some dates to work with," said Joyce-Kemper.
"Take notes so you have all the information in writing. If they were able to give you a first name but not a surname for an ancestor keep that name. For example Great Aunt Rose: If that first name pops up again in your research around those dates as a Rosemary Murphy you'll recognize it and piece the puzzle together."
For common names such as Murphy, Kelly and Smith, having a middle name is crucial. In addition to an ancestor's full name, any additional information such as an approximate birth dates, country, parish, occupation, date of marriage, religious denomination and social status is going to help narrow the search. Family papers and photographs can be the foundation to build your research and start the hunt.
Once you've determined where your ancestor lived, the next step is to find public documents. Ireland has 1.3-million church records available online that include birth, marriage or death certificates. Other potential sources of information are wills, land deeds, newspaper obituaries, local histories, pension and military records. Another important research tool are the 1901 and 1911 census records, also online. Many of these records can be found in the National Archives of Ireland or at a county genealogy centre. The best record keepers in Ireland were the landed gentry, usually of Anglo-Irish origin. It was important to know your family roots not only for social status but also for future land claims and the settling of estates.
If you suspect there were some scoundrels in the family, visit the Irish police records made available online by the Church of Ireland. These records includes the earliest surviving register of baptisms, marriages and burials, dating from 1619, and an older vestry minute book commencing in 1595.
Joyce-Kemper recommends searching databases with several different spellings of your surname. "Records were handwritten and sometimes the names were deciphered incorrectly when computerizing records," said Joyce-Kemper. "If you have a family history connected to industrial schools, workhouses or adoption, that can complicate things, since they often changed names if they had the mother's name or made up new ones when they did not."
if you reach a dead end, it's time to call in the professionals. Ireland has many skilled genealogists who are passionate about helping people find long-lost relatives.
"People can do a great deal of research on the Internet but it is important to go step-by-step, generation to generation. Making leaps back will always result in mistakes. Getting advice from experienced researchers always helps. I recommend people seek out groups interested in Irish research such as TIARA — The Irish Ancestral Research Association — for help," said Eileen M O Duill, a professional Irish genealogist of Heirs Ireland, specializing in forensic genealogy.
You can also search Canadian records. Collections Canada houses immigration records, including those from the Grosse Isle immigration depot. Sadly, these are often death records; over 5,000 Irish emigrants died of typhus at this site. The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 has ship profiles and immigration records. Irish emigrants may have first landed in New York at Ellis Island before making their way to Canada so try a search of that location's website.
Any research project takes time. So be patient. And be prepared for some surprises along the way. Joyce-Kemper is from a well-documented family but there were still some things to be uncovered about her family.
"My own father was still able to do some research and discovered we were related to Captain Bligh as well as to Richard Joyce, who created the Claddagh ring. That was very exciting for us," said Joyce-Kemper. "I always advise people to enjoy each stage and have fun. You don't know where it's going to lead or what you will find. That's what makes it so fascinating."

Hello from Massachusetts
Posted: Mon Aug 26, 2013 10:45 am
Hello, Its great to find this place. I'm Jackie, married, and a mother of 4 kids (two teens still live at home). We just brought home Mocha from the shelter 2 days ago. She is 9 months old, about 70lbs, and listed as a blue Pill Bull Terrier/Mix. They were unsure of her breed specifics. We were not specifically looking for a pit bull, but her sweetness won us over. We currently also have a 10 year old male Corgi/mix named Arrow (he has german shepherd markings and a shepherd bark), and an 8 year male old cat named Cotton. So far Mocha seems fine with the cat, they barely acknowleged each other. Mocha let the cat come up and sniff her. Arrow, our corgi, is being either terriorital or jealous and is acting more aggressively than she is. They both have crates and we are slowly introducing them on leashes. We understand it will take time. Mocha so far is very friendly to people and other dogs on walks. She only has reacted to Arrow when he barks or growls first. She is learning commands quickly. BUT she pulls a lot on walks and almost knocked me over. She saw another dog playing with a ball in a fenced yard. She wanted to play also. My husband was having a hard time with the pulling too. We definitely need to train her to walk on a leash without yanking. She will be going to a puppy training group soon. We will get a trainer to work with both dogs if needed.
I'm here to get info on the breed in general, about introducing them to older dogs, and training. Also if anyone could help me figure out her breed(s).
Here she is

Bill Lewis Lures
Bill Lewis has been making fishing lures for a very long time. One of my personal favorites is the Rattle Trap. It's so much fun fishing for largemouth bass using Rattle Trap's. When the largemouth hit those lures, its a pure adrenaline rush!
