Iranian President Hassan Rouhani praised an agreement with world powers to ease sanctions over his country's nuclear program, saying the accord vindicates his government's policy of engagement.
Rouhani won election in June with a tone of moderation and a pledge to seek an easing of the sanctions that have crippled the economy.
A 15-minute phone call between Rouhani and US President Barack Obama on Sept. 27 was the first sign of the new detente and the highest-level US-Iranian encounter since before Iran's Islamic revolution of 1979.
The next six months mark a starting point on a new chapter for the Iranian nation, Rouhani said.
If the world powers fulfill their commitments, Iran will also fulfill its commitment and act on the basis of the agreement, he said.
After his televised address, Rouhani turned to embrace a little girl who was brought up on stage with other family members of the nuclear scientists that Iran says were killed as part of a campaign against it.
"We won a deal," said Davoud, 60, a retired office clerk, who like many Iranians asked not to be identified by his full name for security concerns.
"I was awake the whole night, watching the progress. I am sure Zarif did the best he could," Davoud said, referring to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Under the initial deal, Iran must improve cooperation with UN monitors, commit to eliminate its stockpile of uranium enriched to 20 percent levels and halt advanced centrifuge installation, the White House said in a statement. Iran also will not commission its Arak heavy water reactor, which, if it became operational, could produce plutonium and give the country a second path to nuclear weapons.
In return, Iran will be able to repatriate US$4.2 billion in frozen assets, the Obama administration said.
The accord is to suspend some sanctions on gold, Iran's automotive industry and petrochemical exports, potentially worth about US$1.5 billion, the administration said.
Constructive interaction is the motto of this government and it can be achieved through trust, the initial steps of which have been taken, Rouhani said.
The accord comes less than six months after Rouhani won a surprise first-round election, campaigning on pledges to resolve Iran's nuclear dispute.
He inherited an economy in recession and an inflation rate that was 40 percent last month.
Sanctions have pushed oil output to the lowest since 1990 and squeezed the economy, which contracted more than 5 percent in the fiscal year that ended in March. Iran's currency, the rial, lost more than half its value in the year before Rouhani's election, due in part to sanctions denying Iran access to the world financial system.
Iran's economy declined 5.4 percent in the year ending in March, Rouhani has said.
The two sides now aim to conclude a comprehensive accord within six months. Western nations have accused Iran of harboring nuclear-weapons ambitions, a charge it denies.
The US and Israel have said they are willing to use force if needed to prevent that from happening.
The rial strengthened to 29,400 per US dollar in unregulated trading at 11:36am in Tehran yesterday, from 29,980 on Tuesday last week, a day before the latest round of nuclear talks resumed, according to figures compiled by Daily Rates for Gold Coins & Foreign Currencies, a Facebook page used by traders and companies in Iran and abroad.

When the Broncos play San Diego in the NFL playoffs, it's really a win-or-go-home game for only one man: Denver coach John Fox.
Win, and Fox drives the Broncos Bandwagon rolling down the road to the Super Bowl.
Lose, and all credibility Fox had in Denver would be rubble in the ditch. He might as well crawl from the wreckage, go home and not come back to work.
It's Super Bowl or bust for the Broncos. Lose in the first round, and Fox's back will be busted from angry critics jumping on it.
"All this expectations stuff? It's kinda just poppycock," Fox told me.
Poppycock? The pressure on Fox is poppycock?
"It doesn't mean anything," Fox insisted.
Hey, Fox doesn't need to be told the window of opportunity to win a championship with 37-year-old quarterback Peyton Manning is closing. I reminded Fox of the emotional scars that remain raw in this city, because the fear of what went wrong in playoffs against Baltimore on Jan. 12, 2013, could be repeated against San Diego 365 days later.
"Look, you position yourself for great opportunities, and we've done that two years in a row," Fox said. "Obviously, last year was very disappointing, especially the way we lost the game to Baltimore. You can put all the spin on it you want, but that might be one of the flukier plays in NFL history. That was a sting. But that's in the past. You can't change it. You just learn from it. And deal with what's now."
Win against the Chargers, and Fox positions himself to become one of the feel-good stories in the NFL playoffs: On Nov. 2, Fox was knocked to his knees by chest pain on a golf course, afraid for his life, praying to God to "get me out of this." Three months to the day after that serious health scare, Fox could be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy as coach of the Super Bowl winner.
Get beat by San Diego, though, and Fox would be the guy who wasted the best statistical season of Manning's brilliant career. He would be the coach who got outfoxed by former Denver assistant Mike McCoy, who now works the Chargers' sideline. For the no mas finish of the fourth quarter in the playoff loss against the Ravens, Fox would forevermore be known as Mr. Take a Knee.
It all sounds like a plot of a scary movie. Ravens and Chargers and losses. Oh, my. Fox, however, refuses to buy the narrative. He hasn't been frightened by any movie since he was a kid.
"The Wizard of Oz," Fox said. "Now that was a scary movie. I was so young that when I saw it, the whole movie was in black and white. It scared the (expletive) out of me. That witch? And those flying apes? And playing that music: 'Dun ta dun ta dun dun. Dun ta dun ta dun dun.' Now that was scary."
Fox has done a marvelous job with the Broncos. He mopped up the wet spill left by former coach Josh McDaniels at Dove Valley headquarters. He won a playoff game with Tim Tebow and an offensive style as outdated as a polka by Lawrence Welk. His record in Denver: three seasons, three AFC West division titles, 34 regular-season victories.
But lose to the Chargers, and Fox would become the new Marty Schottenheimer.
A great football coach, until it really counts in the playoffs.
"This game is only fun if you win it," Fox said. "And there's only one happy camper at the end of this tournament."
Drop the ball as a 9½-point favorite against San Diego, and no matter how big a vote of confidence Broncos executive John Elway gave Fox, disgruntled fans of the team would rescind it.
Fox took the Carolina Panthers to the Super Bowl, for crying out loud. His .708 winning percentage in Denver ranks ahead of Red Miller, Dan Reeves and Mike Shanahan. But lose to San Diego, and it wouldn't matter. As an effective leader capable of inspiring trust in Broncomaniacs, Fox would be effectively done.
On Sunday, it's OK if the Broncos win in a rout with five touchdown passes from Manning, or squeak by on a 55-yard field goal in overtime by Matt Prater.
But this is a must-win for Fox.
"I don't know if it's scary or daunting," Fox said. "It's actually fun."
Lose in your first playoff game with the most decorated quarterback in league history for the second consecutive season? If that happens, in this town, Fox might as well change his name from John to dirt.
No matter how good an NFL coach might be, he can never be better than those final numbers on the scoreboard.
"You do this job because of that pressure," Fox said. "Otherwise, life can be kind of boring."
As somebody who likes Fox and respects how the coach treats his players, here's one piece of friendly advice:
Don't get Schottenheimered.

You can check the leaked trailer out here
this actually looks really good. kind of amazing even. look at that shot where they're silhouetted, they're two dimensional giants in a monochromatic world in a sunrise/sunset state. wow. and it appears to be a key aesthetic motif. the expansion of dimensions taken to thematically consistent directions with the also recurring top-down shots. it's God, sure, whatever, but it's also the story of this dude who had a perspective greater than those around him.

Russell Brand's long-planned remake of the Dudley Moore film "Arthur" is hoping to get traction again, and as part of that effort, producers are letting it be known that they're going to offer a role to Meryl Streep.
In the 1981 original, Dudley Moore plays a drunken millionaire who thumbs his nose at his family's wishes by falling in love with the blue collar girl next door, played by Liza Minnelli. Along the way, Arthur seeks counsel from his trusty butler Hobson, played by Sir John Gielgud. In Brand's reimagining of the story, the role of Hobson would undergo a sex-change, and would be played by Streep, reported the Daily Mail.
Brand is perfect for retooling the role of the bumbling, pampered drunk -- wasn't that more or less his "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" character? And Streep could credibly play Gielgud, so playing Hobson would be easy for her.
U.S. & World
"Get Him to the Greek," the "Sarah Marshall" spin-off with Brand's Aldous Snow as the lead is due out in June. Its success would go a long way towards getting "Arthur" made. And if the folks behind the film keep garnering attention by telling folks they're going after A-list talent like Streep, well, that can't hurt.

The Bank of America Chicago Marathon celebrated its 39th year Sunday with an exciting race that saw photo finishes, defending champions and new winners.
Elite runners took to the streets, some looking to defend their titles and others making their Chicago debuts.
In a sprint for the finish, Kenya's Abel Kibri beat out 2015 champion Dickson Chumba within seconds to take home his first Windy City win.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
"So perfect, the course is amazing, the weather was so fine," he said after crossing the finish line.
In the women's event, defending champion Florence Kiplagat breezed to a victory, coming out ahead well into the final leg of the race and beating her 2015 time.
"Winning a major race to me is fantastic," she said. "I love Chicago."
Wheelchair finishes stunned viewers, with Marcel Hug beating out former champion Kurt Fearnley in a shocking photo finish that came down to less than one second. Initial results indicated Fearnley had won, but after an official review Hug was declared the champion.
"It was a crazy finish," Hug said.
Tatyana McFadden also became the most accomplished champion in marathon history taking home her seventh Chicago victory in the women's wheelchair race. She too was in a race to the finish line with Manuela Schar following close behind.
"It's really good to have a win, especially being back at home," she said.
Thousands of other runners also ran through 29 Chicago neighborhoods on a grand tour of the city as they fought to complete the 26.2 miles.
PHOTOS: The 2016 Bank of America Chicago Marathon
Race Director Carey Pinkowski said the 2016 event saw the most starters in the race's history with 41,357 runners crossing the starting line.
"It's different than most sports because we have great athletes up front but there's people from all abilities, from all walks of life, they come here, they run the same course, they experience the same thing, maybe it be 3 hours or 4 hours of 5 hours, maybe their first marathon or their 50th marathon," he said. "It's really a celebration of humanity and dedication and sacrifice and people coming together and putting their differences aside for a day."
The weather made for an ideal race day with cool temperatures, sunny skies and light winds.
The iconic event, which has generated millions for the city each year, now looks forward to its 40th anniversary set for next year.
"We'll get back to the drawing board and start planning and get ready for the 40th celebration," Pinkowski said.

Do homogeneous brand associations benefit the brand?Koll, Oliver; von Wallpach, Sylvia; Platzgummer, Sophia (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Brand associations have been linked to brand response in numerous ways. Much research has focused on the number, valence and uniqueness of brand associations. This paper focuses on another association facet which managerially-oriented brand literature frequently highlights as a sign of brand strength: Brand consensus, that is, the degree to which people elicit the same associations when confronted with a brand. We introduce two meaningful operationalizations of consensus (group- and individual-level) and discuss and test the link between consensus and brand response. Our results, which are based on a large-scale study for an international luxury brand, show that for individual consumers high levels of brand consensus tend to foster positive brand response whereas for a group as a whole too much brand consensus tends to be detrimental.

Abstract: Udgangspunktet for dette working paper vil være en række teoriområder, som er valgt ud fra den opfattelse, at de er centrale repræsentanter for udviklingen indenfor det erhvervsøkonomiske genstandsområde – med såvel aktuel som potentiel værdi for overvejelser og beslutninger vedrørende indtrængning på internationale markeder. Udviklingen i de udvalgte teoriområder vil have form af en kronologisk redegørelse, hvor der fokuseres på deres forudsætninger, indhold og anvendelse samt potentielle relevans og betydning for indtrængningsproblematikken. Dette giver mulighed for at arbejde med teorierne på metaplan samtidigt med, at forskningen kan vurderes i forhold til K.B. Madsens almene metateori, Karl Poppers falsifikationsprincip, Imre Lakatos' forskningsprogrammer samt Thomas Kuhns paradigme-begreb. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6661

Abstract: This article studies the theoretical and applied development of the creative economy. There exists many definitions of creative industries, creative economy and experience economy, all dealing with the same core problematic. It is why it is chosen in this article to talk about the creative economy complex. The ideas to the different elements in the complex have been developed over the last 20 years. A conclusion on experience economy and creative industries is presented on page 7. It is followed by a presentation of how the creative economy complex has been applied in the Baltic Sea Countries and by a section on the development of the creative economy complex after the financial crisis in 2008. It is found that the complex and its development has been closely related to the business cycle development, implying that the complex from being a general theory in times with positive business cycle development has changed to become more specific and integrated into marketing, regional economy and innovation theory when the business cycle changes to recession and when state debt becomes a main economic problem.

Abstract: Retail stores are designed to attract and inspire consumers. They also function as communication platforms between brand and consumer. Customers, both consciously and unconsciously, decode messages embedded in the store design, and use them in their decision-making. But how can design managers know with any certainty whether the choices they make actually add value, to the products in the store? This dilemma has been addressed from varying perspectives in businessrelated design and marketing literature. John Heskett (2005) acknowledges the conflict of imperatives that obtains between a company and the users of its products and ascribes to design the role of providing a bridge between them. Philip Kotler (1973) underscores the need for designers to understand the targeted consumers by making a distinction between intended and perceived atmosphere. The intended atmosphere is, of course, the set of sensory qualities that the designer of an environment means to invoke. But a design is not always perceived as intended; indeed, perception can vary significantly from one customer to the next. Apart from offering insights in the retail designer's process of creating stores that function as a marketing tool, this dissertation proposes a method for measuring whether decisions made by the store designer do indeed support the products from the targeted consumer's perspective. In four articles, a toolbox is provided, offering insights of four types: (1) the theoretical and empirical, aimed at developing an understanding of the different categories within the retail designer's working process; (2) a codification of the stakeholders and constraint generators affecting the retail design process; (3) the proposal of a new method for studying spillover effects from store interior to product; and (4) the testing of this method in two field experiments, where we measure the effects of retail design on those for whom the design is ultimately intended: consumers.

Teilmann, Kasper Aalling (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The dissertation 'Interactive Approaches to Rural Development' gives new theoretical and empirical knowledge in the collaboration on development of rural areas and landscapes. From a perspective about the development and the challenges faced, the study analyses which functions that are demanded by the rural areas. Furthermore, the study makes an analysis of the collaboration in an EU financed rural development association; the Local Action Group (LAG). The overall objective is to: Analyse and discuss approaches to rural development under Danish conditions. The dissertation is cantered around three papers introduced with a frame that contributes to the overall objective. With point of departure in the changes that have structured the Danish landscape, the first paper analyses and discusses how the Danish planning system can be optimized to plan for a multifunctional landscape. Paper two and three builds on the EU rural development policy LEADER that through local project based development supports new income opportunities for the local inhabitants. Collaboration on the rural development is a subject that requires an interdisciplinary analytical approach. The dissertation therefore builds on different theories and both qualitative and quantitative analytical methods. The theoretical foundation draws on generic network theory and various applications of this. This is conducted by inclusion of ideas from interorganisational interaction in an analysis of the collaboration between municipality and a locally anchored development association. In addition the theory of social capital is applied to analyse whether the partnership formation and collaboration has supported the development of the local area. Furthermore, the concept of multifunctionality is assessed as a principle to be applied in countryside planning and rural development. The empirical foundation of the dissertation draws on mixed method research approach with interviews and surveys that are studied through qualitative and quantitative data analyses. Two of the three papers take point of departure in a case study of LAG-Djursland. Based on the dissertation it is concluded, that a crucial factor in the development of rural areas and landscapes is the collaboration among relevant stakeholders– often arranged around a partnership. To secure a concrete and locally attuned development it is important to engage local anchored stakeholders. These stakeholders have the greatest knowledge about the local development opportunities and barriers. Though the dissertation builds on experiences from the Danish rural landscape, the analyses, discussions and conclusions will be relevant in an international perspective. The interactive approach and the analysis hereof will be applicable in other domains than that of rural development. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8592

Abstract: Problems are inevitable in buyer supplier relationships. Purchasing professionals spend considerable time solving operational problems, such as those pertaining to quality and delivery performance. This paper reports on a qualitative study of problem solving processes in three buyer-supplier relationships. These processes are time consuming, costly, and involve a number of actors in both the buying and supplying companies. The theoretical framework that forms the basis for the study is the problem solving model of Lang, Dittrich, and White (1978). The findings show that coordination of problem perceptions and motivation of all involved actors are main challenges for the responsible problem solver. Furthermore, communication plays a vital role to mobilize the involved actors. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8230

En nøgle til velfærd og velstandRitter, Thomas; Geersbro, Jens (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Diskussionen om Danmarks fremtid som velfærdstat er i fuld gang – og har været det i et stykke tid. På det seneste har en ny rapport fra OECD tegnet et dystert billede for Danmark, idet landets produktivitet fortsat er for nedadgående. Så det store spørgsmål er nu endnu mere aktuelt: Hvad skal Danmark leve af i fremtiden for at bevare og udbygge velfærd og velstand? For at belyse dette spørgsmål fokuserer en stor del af diskussionen på "produktivitet" som nøglen til velfærd og velstand. Vi vil i denne rapport argumentere for en supplerende faktor, som vi mener er af endnu større betydning end selve produktiviteten: Danmark kan og skal leve af kommercialiseringevnen. Evnen til at kommercialisere dækker over virksomheders aktiviteter til at tjene penge med deres ydelser (produkter, service, m.v.). Kort sagt handler kommercialisering om at forstå kundernes behov og værdiskabelse, matche denne indsigt med ydelser, og bygge passende relationer med kunder for at forklare værdi. Hvor god en virksomhed er til kommercialisering kan måles som: Kommercialiseringsefficens = Omsætning / ydelser. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8596

An understanding anchored in pragmatismBang Mathiasen, John (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The subject matter chosen for this PhD, learning within a Product Development (PD) working practice, might give rise to wonder given that I have a theoretical education within supply chain management, achieved practical experience as senior supply chain manager and finally, conducted a great many lectures dealing with supply chain management. Offhand, it may seem an odd choice, but my practical experience, briefly illustrated in the below, triggered the decision to study learning within a PD working practice. PD implies design of components and clarifications of the assembly process. A side effect of these activities is a routing, which establishes the supply chain; that is, the total journey, which all components must undertake before the product is saleable. Hence, seen from the perspective of the operation, the supply chain to be managed throughout the life cycle of the product is created during the PD phase. Changing a supply chain later on is possible, but it requires a significant effort. When managing a supply chain area, in which a large part of the products had a life cycle of more than 10 years, I realised the critical importance of influencing the PD process. Thus, employees from the supply chain department were often engaged in intense exchanges of views with the PD engineers and substantial resources were devoted to improving the awareness of supply chain considerations during the PD process. Nevertheless, in my firm conviction, these efforts only managed to exert minor influence and consequently, the established supply chains were difficult to handle. Ever since then, I have wondered why we were unsuccessful in influencing the supply chain of a new product. The involved supply chain engineers had a highly theoretical background as well as practical experience, but it was not possible to initiate learning among the PD engineers as regards the establishment of a more suitable supply chain.

A Study in the Hotel IndustryGrønholt, Lars; Martensen, Anne (Frederiksberg, 2018)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the links between employee attitudes, customer loyalty and business results. Methodology/approach – From a conceptual point of view, this employee-customer-business results chain is well founded and generally accepted, also in the European Excellence Model. But for many companies, it seems difficult to demonstrate such links, and several issues must be addressed to uncover the links. To investigate these links empirically, a hotel chain provided data matching employee and customer measures with measures of profit, and a modeling approach is developed. Findings – The model is successfully applied. As it is possible to estimate and test the links, we have demonstrated the effects of employee attitudes on customer loyalty and further on business results. The findings provide strong empirical evidence for the developed model, and the study provided evidence of theemployee-customer-business result chain. Research limitations – The study is limited to four hotels in Copenhagen, Denmark. Practical implications – The research findings provide a better understanding of the employee-customer-business result chain and may help practitioners in improving company financial performance. Originality/value – This paper provides new insights into the relationships between employee attitudes, customer loyalty, and business results. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9666

Abstract: Using pure single-source data, this paper provides evidence for the existence and magnitude of long-term advertising effects across FMCG product categories. Furthermore, we focus on the difficulties that arise for wellestablished brands when new products are introduced into the market and product innovations take place. Our research shows that such occurrences drastically alter the relationship between share of voice and share of market in any given FMCG market, hence making it pivotal for marketers to focus on such relationships in order to maintain market position.

How Luxury Experiences Contribute to Consumer SelvesBauer, Martina; von Wallpach, Sylvia; Hemetsberger, Andrea (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Hitherto literature in the area of luxury and luxury brands predominantly applies a management-oriented view of luxury. This project departs from traditional views on luxury by focusing on consumers' experiences with what they perceive as luxury. More specifically, the objective is to enhance understanding regarding how luxury experiences contribute to consumers' selves. The empirical study is exploratory in nature and relies on consumer diaries regarding consumer luxury experiences. This project contributes to existing literature by outlining four different forms of how luxury relates to consumers' selves. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8683

Exploring the Role of sensemaking Narratives in Stakeholders' Shared Understanding of the BrandGyrd-Jones, Richard; Törmälä, Minna (Frederiksberg, 2017)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose: An important part of how we sense a brand is how we make sense of a brand. Sense-making is naturally strongly connected to how we cognize about the brand. But sense-making is concerned with multiple forms of knowledge that arise from our interpretation of the brand-related stimuli: Declarative, episodic, procedural and sensory. Knowledge is given meaning through mental association (Keller, 1993) and / or symbolic interaction (Blumer, 1969). These meanings are centrally related to individuals' sense of identity or "identity needs" (Wallpach & Woodside, 2009). The way individuals make sense of brands is related to who people think they are in their context and this shapes what they enact and how they interpret the brand (Currie & Brown, 2003; Weick, Sutcliffe, & Obstfeld, 2005; Weick, 1993). Our subject of interest in this paper is how stakeholders interpret and ascribe meaning to the brand and how these meaning narratives play out over time to create meta-narratives that drive brand meaning co-creation. In this paper we focus on the concept of brand identity since it is at the level of identity that the brand creates meaning for individuals (Kapferer, 2012; Csaba & Bengtsson, 2006).

Measuring Consumer Reactions to Sponsoring Partnerships Based upon Emotional and Attitudinal ResponsesRiis Christensen, Sverre (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Consumers reactions from being exposed to sponsorships has primarily been measured and docu-mented applying cognitive information processing models to the phenomenon. In the paper it is argued that such effects are probably better modelled applying models of peripheral information processing to the measurements, and it is suggested that the effects can be measured on the atti-tudes-towards-the sponsor and on the emotion-towards-the sponsor levels. This type of modelling is known as the ELAM model, however the types of independent variables involved is new to research into sponsorship effects. Two batteries of statements, attitude words and feeling words, are developed and a study is carried out with 470 respondents, randomly selected from the population. The data are analysed and pro-vide expressions of positive and negative attitude reaction and emotional reaction that show marked differences in consumer reactions towards sponsored objects of different natures as well as towards potential sponsoring organisations. For instance, the charitable institutions measured in the study elicit larger negative emotional re-sponses than positive responses, corresponding to a negative Net Emotional Response Score (NERS). Amongst the potential sponsoring companies only one company – a tobacco manufacturer – show this profile in NERS. The variation in NERS between charitable institutions and sports insti-tutions is quite dramatic – and has a high face validity. When studying attitude responses (Net Atti-tude Response Score or NARS), the differences between sponsored institutions are much smaller, although the charitable institutions still show a structurally different profile from the cultural and sports institutions. The differences between companies in NARS are quite small and probably only significant in a few instances. The NERS and NARS data are used to illustrate a "goodness-of-fit�? measurement that companies – or organisations looking for sponsors – can use to determine whether a potential arrangement has the ability to provide the desired effects on reactions. This goodness of fit is both applied to the net scores and to the full evaluations on the attitude and emotion batteries and it seems as if the latter approach will be richer in explanatory power for a potential sponsor.

Abstract: Managers' mindset about the sustainability construct and its triggers is the topic dealt with in the paper. The interviewed managers are all working in companies expressing a commitment on sustainability in their external communication. However, our findings reveal that their commitment is pursued from different business models, visions and ideas about the sustainability construct. We found that sustainability is not triggered, approached and practiced in accordance with one overall mindset. Four interrelated mindsets emerged - due to that sustainability is a learning process and thus formed and developed over time. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8321

Abstract: The paper reports findings from a larger study of sponsors and their relationship to sponsored parties. In the present reporting, the focus is on sponsors. Rather than evaluating such sponsorships in traditional effect hierarchical terms, a conceptual Sponsor Value Model is specified as a structural equation model where the drivers are attitudes towards the sponsorship and emotions towards the sponsorship. It is found that the two classes of variables describe different aspects of the perception of sponsorships, and that they both contribute significantly to the overall value of sponsoring for a particular company. In the present paper, two cases are shown for two major sponsors. The specified Sponsor Value Model is estimated by a partial least squares (PLS) method. It is found that the two sponsors are perceived differently, both in terms of emotional and attitudinal responses. It is also found that the emotional responses aroused by the sponsorships are at least as important as those ascribable to attitudinal elements. Key words: Sponsorship, emotional response, attitudes towards sponsorship, structural equation model URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6642

Pray For Rain Lyrics
This is a factory.
We give you pride for a fee.
By land or by sea, we will continue to be.
I, I'll fight for mine.
Get back to the center.
I'll be the never ender.
You always look for someone to blame.
I will not play that game.
Fear of pain means nothing to me.
Your lack of heart is something to see.
I wish that you would cease to breathe.
I'll fight for mine, this you better believe.
I shun your lack of heart.
You should pray for rain.
You should pray for rain.

text: RBNY Academy Update: November 18 | Academy goes unbeaten at all levels Tweet © Last weekend, the New York ed Bulls Academy enjoyed an undefeated weekend, going 3-0-1 in four total matches. The U-18s and U-16s welcomed Philadelphia Union to the Red Bulls Training Facility, while the U-12s faced FC Westchester Everton in Westchester, N.Y., at SUNY Purchase College. New York Red Bulls U-18 (1) vs. Philadelphia Union (0) HANOVER, N.J. (November 14, 2015) – The New York Red Bulls U-18 beat local MLS rivals Philadelphia Union on a windy afternoon at the Red Bulls Training Facility, 1-0. The New York Red Bulls got off to a fast start, scoring the only goal of the game in two minutes. A quickly taken free kick from Kyle Perno, deep inside the Red Bulls own half, put Brian Saramago through on goal. Saramago made no mistake with rifling shot past the goalkeeper to give the Red Bulls an early advantage. New York continued to press and nearly scored again minutes later when Jared Gilbey intercepted the ball and ran through to go one-on-one against the Union goalkeeper. Gilbey attempted to curl his shot into the far corner only to see it go inches wide of the post. Gilbey turned into a provider minutes later when he opened up a chance for Saramago to get his second. Saramago fired his towards the far corner, but was denied by the goalkeeper to keep the score 1-0 heading into the break. The Red Bulls started the second half strongly with another chance. Callum Johnson couldn't find the target after a setup from Pierre Reedy on the right. The conditions made it difficult for both sides and disrupted the rhythm in the second half. The Red Bulls back line held firm and limited the Union to only a few opportunities to preserve the shutout and secure the three points. The Red Bulls U-18s will take a break next weekend before departing for the U-18 Academy Showcase in Sarasota, Fla., on Dec. 2. Man of the Match: Pierre Reedy Scoring Summary (Assist in parenthesis): NY: Brian Saramago (Kyle Perno) 2' Lineup: Wojciech Gajda, Sean Teixeria, Mason Deeds, Kyle Perno, Kevin O'Toole, Jared Gilbey, Ryan Mingachos (Cristian Martinez, 89'), Callum Johnson (Kyle Casey, 74'), Pierre Reedy, Brian Saramago, Barry Sharifi (Noah Powder, 46') Subs not used: Sam Ilin, Jeanpaul Marin, Samad Bounthong New York Red Bulls U-16 (1) vs. Philadelphia Union (1) HANOVER, N.J. (November 14, 2015) – The Philadelphia Union came out determined to avenge the 4-0 loss to the Red Bulls in the Generation adidas tournament last month in Toronto. The Union took the early lead off a corner kick in the 5th minute. Philadelphia continued to make life difficult for the Red Bulls as they pressed all over the field. New York nearly found the equalizer in the 25th minute when JP Marin broke through the Union back line and attempted to chip the Union goalkeeper, but the goalkeeper recovered and made the leaping effort to deflect the ball over the crossbar. That seemed to get things going for the Red Bulls as they took more control of the game and created some very good chances before halftime. The Red Bulls came out and controlled most of the game in the second half. In the 65th minute, New York leveled the match at 1-1 on a goal from Ben Mines. The Red Bulls put the ball in the back of the net twice, but were called back on offside calls and the game ended in a draw, 1-1. The Red Bulls outshot the Union 9-0 in the second half. The Red bulls U-16s next match will be in December when they travel to Sarasota, Fla., for the U-16 Academy Showcase.

(November 14, 2015) – The New York Red Bulls U-12 Blue overcame a slow start and found their rhythm to pull out a road win on Saturday against FC Westchester Everton, 7-1. The Red Bulls opened the scoring midway through the first half from a wonderful strike from 25-yards out. The goal sparked the momentum the Red Bulls needed to settle down and control the game until the final whistle.

(November 14, 2015) – The New York Red Bulls U-12 White finally managed to get back on track with a win over FC Westchester Everton on Saturday at SUNY Purchase College, 3-2. The Red Bulls controlled the majority of possession from the opening whistle, but had difficulty breaking down Westchester's back line. Despite creating some good opportunities, New York found themselves a goal down early in the match. However, as the game went on, the Red Bulls gained more control from good combination play, patience and creativity to eventually pull out the win.

Greetings fellow rational thinkers! I, Jim Steele, lovable capitalist-at-large and comedic foil to Dale, bid you welcome to the Ayn Rand Quotation Thread. I should mention that a lot of these quotes come courtesy of the Ayn Rand Random Quote generator at http://www.hypermall.com/cgi-bin/rand-quotes.pl
written and posted by Jay Allen...who provides the script not out of any misguided sense of "moral obligation" or "altruism" but because it suits his own purposes to enlighten the masses. Ayn would be so proud!
(P.S. One thing Socialists and Capitalists can agree on is this: keep reading our adventures at Dales Dimension!)
Today's Quote:
"The socialists have a certain kind of logic on their side: if the collective sacrifice of all to all is the moral ideal, then they wanted to establish this idea in practice, here and on this earth. The arguments that socialism could not and would not work, did not stop them: neither has altruism ever worked, but this has not caused men to stop and question it. Only reason can ask such questions - and reason, they were told on all sides, has nothing to do with morality, morality lies outside the realm of reason, no rational morality can ever be defined.

senator suggests quick approval, delayed enactment of immigration law
Send a link to a friend
[February 10, 2014]
WASHINGTON (Reuters) — U.S.
immigration reforms could be passed now but enacted after President
Barack Obama leaves office if Republicans fear he will not enforce the
new rules, a key Democratic senator said Sunday, offering a way to
achieve one of Obama's main policy objectives.
Last week, Republican House Speaker John Boehner expressed doubts
Obama's long-sought overhaul of immigration laws would be passed
this year and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said there was
little interest in the issue with congressional elections looming in
Boehner said one of the biggest obstacles to immigration reform in
the House was a concern that Obama would not fully enforce any laws
that might be approved. As evidence of that, he accused him of
changing "the healthcare law on a whim, whenever he likes".
On NBC's "Meet the Press" program, Senator Charles Schumer, a New
York Democrat and one of chief architects of the Senate's bipartisan
immigration plan, offered what he said was a simple solution.
"Let's enact the law this year but simply not let it actually start
until 2017 after President Obama's term is over," he said.
"Now, I think the rap against him that he won't enforce the law is
false. He's deported more people than any president but you could
actually have the law start in 2017 without doing much violence to
Schumer said it would be difficult to pass immigration reform in
2015 or 2016 when the next presidential election season opens
because Republican candidates would be staking out conservative
positions on immigration in order to differentiate themselves from
[to top of second column]
Senator Rob Portman, a Republican from Ohio who has been active on
immigration, said "some Republicans would be interested" in
Schumer's idea about delayed enactment, especially if there were
measures to increase border security and prevent employers from
hiring undocumented workers.
In June, the Senate passed a comprehensive bill that would provide a
path to citizenship for those in the country illegally and tighten
border security.
The bill stalled in the House, where many lawmakers oppose offering
legal status for some 11 million people who live in the United
States unlawfully.

When it comes to the monochromatic neutral-hued ensembles Francisco Costa designed for the Spring 2013 Calvin Klein collection, it's all about details: Delicate strings layered over a strapless dress; a sculpted bodice encircled with a slender inky ribbon; tailored jackets quietly unadorned. And look, maybe there is a message here, about the fine lines between simple and plain. Controlled isn't the same as callous. Perhaps we're meant to discover when, exactly, imperturbable becomes aloof; when cool becomes cold. Just because something is calm and collected doesn't mean it's emotionless and boring.
THAT SAID. As a maximalist into glamour, sequins, leopard print and drama, I hate these clothes. Snoozefest. Except for the aforementioned delicate interlaced strings draped over a strapless dress — that's beautiful. Click through and see.
Hello, beautiful.

LAKE JACKSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Congressman Ron Paul today released the following statement on President Obama's speech from the Oval Office last night:
"The President's announcement that all U.S. combat troops have left Iraq is no more believable than the 'Mission Accomplished' declaration was in 2003.
"Once again, we are being told the mission has been accomplished and our brave men and women are coming back home. Though the people are hopeful they remain skeptical, and rightfully so.
"The biggest problem is that success in Iraq is undefinable since the mission was never defined. The reasons given for the invasion were based on misinformation. Now, the war has cost us hundreds of billions of dollars and this has contributed significantly to our economic woes.
"Forty-four hundred Americans are dead, thirty thousand severely wounded, and more than a hundred thousand are suffering from serious health problems related to Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. This alone should tell us that it was not worth the investment and the needless sacrifice of our young people and the taxpayers.
"It is deceitful to imply we will avoid hostilities with this new policy. We still have to contend with:
- the 50,000 troops carrying weapons remain in Iraq
- the 100,000 contractors that remain with more expected to go to Iraq
- the 9,000 special ops personnel trained in assassinations that remain in Iraq
- a huge embassy, bigger than the Vatican, that will remain
- Dozens of military bases that will stay
- Al Qaeda organizations that did not exist before the war
- Muqtada al Sadr, a strong nationalist who has gained much political power
- The fact that Iran benefits tremendously with the Shiites now in power in Iraq and is a close ally of al Sadr
"Osama bin Laden wins by 'proving' that America has an agenda of occupation in the Middle East. And, we continue to walk into his trap and hand him up his best recruitment tool in his efforts to incite hatred and terrorism against the United States.
"What's worse, President Obama made it clear last night that the troops and resources leaving Iraq will not come home to defend our country or ease our economic woes. They will instead be diverted to Afghanistan, perhaps also Pakistan and, I fear, even Iran.
"From my viewpoint we are the losers in this fool's errand of endless war. Tragically, this new policy is not one of peace but merely a charade that will severely undermine our national security and continue us down the path to bankruptcy—a threat that we best not long ignore."

The Campaign to Protect Rural England alleged that wind developers were sweetening neighbourhoods with lunch clubs and sport pitches in return for their acceptance of a new plant in their area. This, said the CPRE, was bringing England's construction permissions system into disrepute. A cynic might say that, whatever the ethical rights and wrongs behind the payments, there must be a large question mark over the sweeteners' effectiveness, for they have failed to usher in a wind boom. As this column has noted before, England has huge potential for wind, yet boasts fewer megawatts per head than many of its less wind-blessed international competitors. In England, as in other windy nations, once the anti-wind brigade finds its voice, the promise of a new community centre or sports hall will rarely change its view.
Yet there is more than one way for developers to engage a community. Indeed, it is often better when communities engage the developer. Developers have found that when a project is genuinely community led, it can bring a whole suite of benefits. When communities come in at the very beginning of the development as equal partners, helping use local contacts to assemble sites and secure rights of way, as well as winning the hearts and minds of people in the area, they can help a project flourish where it might otherwise have foundered.
By contrast, when all a community brings to a project is goodwill, it brings very little. Goodwill is important, of course, but when local people are not prepared to take on any risk, nor do any other preparatory work, opening negotiations with them can become unattractive at best, at worst pointless. Less appealing to a developer is the community that says, "Give us a slice of your wind farm's returns and we'll support your project" than the one that says, "Let's join forces at the start, as equal partners".
As our feature this month illustrates (p55), when local people get properly involved in wind development the results can be impressive. Projects where communities work with wind developers - as genuine partners - can bring huge benefits to developer and local community alike. But developers should be wary of neighbourhoods that ask for a piece of the action from a wind farm without doing any of the work. And regardless of whether they are ethically sound, sweeteners such as a sports hall or community centre are unlikely to be enough to silence committed wind power antis or mobilise those that are quietly pro.
Improved and updated
This month, the Windpower Monthly brand relaunches with a newly designed magazine and a great new website. We are retaining the editorial principles which have ensured that Windpower Monthly is the leading journal for the global wind industry, but in a refreshed package that presents our in-depth content in an exciting, modern style. Meanwhile, the website has been completely overhauled. It now carries succinct, off-the-press news, a free weekly bulletin and incisive analysis, plus a digital first view of magazine articles for subscribers. Our subscribers can also benefit from our smart search archive that contains thousands of articles dating back more than 15 years. We hope that you will enjoy reading the newly designed magazine and using our new website to keep bang up to date with one of the world's most exciting industries.

Thanks for your thoughts on how I can gather more support.
With gratitute,
I'm doing okay.
I'm glad your kitchen is coming together. The kitchen in my house is so much better than it was. I could still use a low food prep surface.

This pledge closed about 1 year ago
I pledge to raise awareness for a WORLD WIDE problem with people/corporations/agencies mistreating people with special needs!
There is a WORLD WIDE problem with people/corporations/agencies mistreating people with special needs! This type of situation is "right out of control"! We must "ACT" now! We need people to LIST every single one of these terrible atrocities committed against "special needs people" WORLD WIDE, and we must boycott every single person/ corporation / agency involved and name them publicly for all the world to see what they did, and what they did to make up for it, and what they did to make sure it NEVER happens again!
We need better training for teachers working with special needs children, and more education for police responding to "special needs situations" to avoid unnecessary escalation of physical response or dangerous restraint.
Members are encouraged to use the COMMENT feature as much as possible to list any occurrences to "special needs" persons that they deem to be " cruel or unusual"!

It is great. You have an information which is the best result for this discussion:and they tend to have with them sets of tests that test your mastery
- May I ask you to publish a set of links to see these tests?
It is great. You have an information which is the best result for this discussion:and they tend to have with them sets of tests that test your mastery
This forum may create tests, including tests in a format of real battle. For example, your phrase is good enought to serve as a question to test a skillfulness of tp-community. I suppose, the real tp-master will be able to translate this phrase as well as it is prescribed by "pu". I am a beginner. Therefore, my variant possibly will be weak in comparison with variants of tp-"bisons". In my opinion:Unfortunately, there are no such tests in any organized sense.
A chess tournament is also an intellectual and public battle. A battle of minds, a battle of knowledge.'utala sona' "knowledge battle" is nice for a showdown contest,
but misses the point of a standardized test against an impartial form.
I think, a key question: how to say "to evaluate" in tp? Can you?I don't have a suggestion for a good expression for that,
though an old list offers 'lukin sona', based on 'lukin (wawa)' for "examine".
There is a standard construction "li lon insa". Therefore, it may be "legally" to use a construction "li lon ala insa".(Note that his can't be analyzed another way -- as your notes suggest --
because 'insa' is a noun and so does not attach to 'lon ala' other than as a prepositional object.
And again, it is a question: how to translate a word "organism" in tp? In my opinion, the word "organism" is near to a word "kulupu", because any group is an organized system. Any group is an organism. And now, about your variant -- "sona nasin" (as an organized sense). Look: http://www.suburbandestiny.com/?cat=20&paged=4 :... sona nasin– philosophy, religion. I think, the word "nasin" has a dynamic meanings: ritual, protocol, procedure, scenario...But, in any case, "in any organized sense" is more clearly 'kepeken sona nasin"
It is interesting to see comments on your translation "Unfortunately, there are no such tests in any organized sense."So, 'ike la nasin ni pi lukin sona, pi kepeken sona nasin li lon ala.'
I think, the world is designed as a total fractal. A chess grandmaster (winner) vs. a newbie (loser). Always.Chess is still about winners and losers, not about competence and incompetence directly
A proto-semantic of the term "evaluate" is composed of: number (digit, range) + health (norm, standard). So, my version:Sonja says 'pona e' for "evalutate", but that seems to raise a bunch of issues.
Any part of group has correlation with the same part of body (organism). A group leader (formal or informal) -- "lawa", a head of organism (or at least, a top) -- "lawa". And so on. The disorganized group and a weak organism has similar anatomy, and behaviour.How an organism is near to a group is not clear to me either, nor how a group is near to "organized",
since groups can be totally disorganized.
An inversion changes a sense.Mato's guess about 'sona nasin' is not bad, though 'nasin sona' has also been used.
Yeah! tp has a marvelous (linguistic) beauty, like "Miss Congeniality", like a diamond. And a stratification can show that very well.But the static-dynamic contrast is interesting.
A world of chess is a fractal for a lot of things as emotional (win-lose) as formal (on-off) tests.I don't see what fractals have to d with it, except, I suppose, it is the same all the way up and all the way down
Fractals are around: group = organism = factory = building, and even an usual article has a head, a tail, limbs (links).... groups don't have to have leaders or heads or tails or even definite parts;
a pile (crowd) = disorganized group, an organism = organized group... the group becomes an alive (dynamic) organism... but that makes them more than groups.
All rotations have equal structure and behaviour. So, "soweli moku" is an animal for food. You know, some religions forbid the use of dirty animals for food, while others are allowed to. "moku soweli" is clearly -- food for animals: fourage, meal... Such a story with "kasi moku". You also know, some plants are poisonous. You do not have to eat them. Therefore, when your "jan pona li toki e ni tawa sina: ona li lon e kasi moku", you may be sure the plant is good. You will have a good "tenpo moku" (a time for food).'soweli moku' can be the same as 'moku soweli' (though also very different, of course) and I expect the same applies to 'kasi'
I say about an internal structure of tp. I had discovered a "linguistic" crystal of tp-vocab. All tp-120 are distributed on 8 identical templets. tp has own internal fractal structure. See one of them below. It really has a brilliant design:I don't get the last bit, but it looks nice.

The differences between handicaps and indices are usually distinguishable in formal mathematical models or in unambiguous real-world cases. Often though, classifying a trait as a handicap, an index, or even a signal at all, can be quite a difficult task.
For the purposes of illustration I will use Fluctuating Asymmetry (FA for short) as an example. Fluctuating asymmetry is the term used to refer to deviation from symmetry in paired morphological structures (ranging from birds' tails to human faces) that should be, all being well, bilaterally symmetric. Deviations from the ideal symmetrical phenotype are caused by inherent genetic perturbations and exposure to environmental disturbances occurring in early development.
Is FA a signal?
In their 2005 book Animal Signals, Maynard-Smith and Harper define a signal as:
'Any act or structure which alters the behaviour of other organisms, which evolved because of that effect, and which is effective because the receiver's response has also evolved'
They then argue that FA is unlikely to function as a signal because it is difficult to discern whether receivers respond directly to FA and because there appear to be few examples of displays in which signallers actively advertise their symmetry to receivers.
