Early View
Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal is covered by Wiley's Early View publishing service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.

SEJ Guidelines
The language of the journal is American English. Your submission needs a title. Please use a 12-point readable font, 1-inch margins on all sides, double spacing, and left-justification of text and titles. Please avoid bulleted lists in the text and do not number sections.
Although SEJ does not have formal limits on article length, manuscripts that are longer than about 30 pages of text (before references, figures, and tables) are almost always clearer and stronger when shortened. Editors reserve the right to return overly long articles for revision.
Figures and Tables: Please do not incorporate your figures and/or tables into the text of your article other than a separate line, such as 'Insert Table 1 here,' where appropriate. Figures and tables should appear at the end of the manuscript after the references section. Do not embed other programs, such as PowerPoint, into the article.
- Figure numbers and titles appear centered below the figure, while Table numbers and titles appear left-justified above the table. Only the first word of a title is capitalized.
- In tables and figures, only the first word in column and row titles is capitalized.
- Within tables and figures, a zero (0) always appears in numbers less than 1 (e.g., 0.15, not .15).
- Table values are to be aligned on the decimal except where values differ widely, such values should be centered (this can, for example, apply to the N, R2, and F values in the final rows of a table).
- You may have your figures published in color; however, Wiley may charge you to do so.
Title Page: Please list the full names, titles, and affiliations (with complete addresses) of all authors, including e-mail, telephone, and fax information on the title page. Please identify the corresponding author. A running head of your choice (a short title of up to 60 characters to be used at publication) should appear on the title page as well. For indexing purposes, include six keywords that describe your paper.
Abstract: Please supply a one-paragraph abstract of up to 100 words for all articles. Abstracts should provide a precise summary of your entire paper, not just your conclusions, and must be able to stand alone, separate from the rest of the paper. SEJ policy is that no citations to other works are used in the abstract.
Acknowledgements: The names of any sponsors of your research, including grant numbers, and/or people you would like to thank, may be included in an acknowledgements section that should appear immediately before your list of references.
General Style
The language of the journal is American English. Please be sure that your paper is double-spaced and uses a 12-point readable font and 1-inch margins on all sides. Your text, including titles of sections, must be left-justified. There is one space between each sentence.
- Headings and subheadings are flush with the left-hand margin and the first line of the initial paragraph appearing under each is also left-justified. Other paragraphs in a section are indented.
- In headings, all words are capitalized.
- In subheadings, only the first word is capitalized.
- Do not number sections.
- Do not use ampersands (&) unless it is a commonly used expression (e.g., R&D), part of a universally known product (e.g., M&Ms), or included in a company name (e.g., Standard & Poor's). This includes citations and references.
- Commas appear before the final 'and' (also 'or') in a series.
- Single, rather than double, quotation marks are used. When used for emphasis, words should be italicized, not in quotation marks.
- Percent is spelled out in regular text, but a % sign is used in parenthesized text and figures.
- En dashes (–) rather than hyphens (-) are used to denote a range, for example, 1996–2000; pages 124–155.
- Em dashes (—) rather than hyphens (--) are used to separate a thought or phrase from the surrounding sentence. There is no space between the words and the em dashes. The sentence should be able to stand alone if the material separated by em dashes were removed.
- Commas and periods always appear inside quotation marks, even if those quotation marks are used to signify the special definition of a word or phrase.
- Commas are used in numbers of 1,000 or higher.
- Indicate in the text where tables and figures are to appear, for example, 'Insert Table 1 here.'
- Numbers one to nine are spelled out and numbers 10 and above appear as numerals. The exceptions are when numbers refer to ratings, code numbers, or begin a sentence.
- If a sentence begins with a number, the number must be spelled out. It is usually easier to rephrase the sentence.
- Footnotes, rather than endnotes, are incorporated into the text.
- The journal uses italicized rather than underlined text.
- Blocks of long quotations are indented and single-spaced.et al. is always italicized.
- Spell out all abbreviations at first use in the body of the article and use abbreviated forms thereafter, for example, return on investment (ROI). If an abbreviated form is used only once, it should be spelled out. This is for the benefit of readers, including students, some of whom may not be familiar with the meanings of all abbreviations.
- A zero (0) always appears in numbers less than 1 (e.g., 0.15, not .15). This holds true for tables and figures as well as within the text and footnotes.
- Example of SEJ style: In the United States; U.S.-based; in the U.S. economy.
- Appendices are placed after references. If there is only one Appendix, no number is needed after it (i.e., Appendix 1).
Reference Style: SEJ uses the author-date style of citation. Citations in the text appear as name, date within parentheses, and listed alphabetically at the end of the paper. When a cited work has four or more authors, the form (main author et al., year) is to be used. Three authors should be written out at the first text citation and et al. used thereafter (italicize et al., whenever used). When there are one or two authors, always write out the names. When reference is made to more than one work by the same author(s) published in the same year, identify each citation in the text in the following manner: (Collins, 2005a, 2005b). Online citations should end with the date of access. Please be sure that cited works that are chapters in a book or articles in a magazine include page numbers. References should contain titles and subtitles. If necessary, cite unpublished or personal work in the text, but please do not include it in the reference list. The volume number must be included for all Strategic Management Journal and Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal references.
SEJ will do all it can to assist authors in all phases of their work. To help your manuscript move smoothly through the editing process please be sure that your references are complete, accurate, and written in SEJ reference style. Examples of correct style include:

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) June 21, 2013 -- There have been different innovations in the banking sector regarding the smooth deliverance of money from one bank to another. SEPA scheme has been implemented recently for making all kinds of banks come under a national structure and this scheme has been implemented in all the member states of the European Union. Among these there are different kinds of companies that offer different money transaction facilities using the bacs payment services which were implemented more than three decades before and has come under a lot of changes among the years.
Bacs Service Facilities From Money Transaction Companies
* Firstly bacs service providers offer paying solutions to all its staff and suppliers as well to its clients.
* Those money transaction companies that provide good bacs service actually has three options given to customers for paying any kind of money. These three kinds are namely through fax input, spreadsheet input and any custom format the customer offers. In fax input where the entire transaction is done through filling up of the form through the fax delivery system. In the second method is a big archaic where spreadsheets based forms are provided to the customers where the names of the payees are printed, the details of which is already given by the payer. The last method is usually the customer choice and this input method is through the internet where the payment scheme file would be attached to the bacs payment solutions and payment is done.
* All the clients and the customers are given a full report and overview of the transactions that is done in their own accounts. This automatically generated and the customer does not have to ask for it every time.
Most of these companies are bacs approved bureaus there is no question or doubt regarding reliability and safety.

Municipal Judge Wally Thompson In Columbia County uses his power in bad ways Rip-off St Helens Oregon
*Consumer Comment: Judge Wally Thompson
*Consumer Comment: Columbia County, St. Helens, OR. Courts/Judges System corrupt
Judge Wally Thompson I believe got put into this position of a judge as a stand-in until another judge was voted in. Is it true that a municipal judge is an elected official. Because i know that the judge Wally Thompson has just kept his position as judge with out any voting by the community. If this is not so how do we get a real judge in that spot for the public to be treated right.
I have many issues with this judge and i know he doesn't like me because he said i had a chip on my shoulder and scoulded me infront of alot of people that i believe he didnt need to say out in the court room. so that is a little bit about the judge who is a corrupted government official persay.
i hate going in front of him because he will give me the highest fine even if i show proof, of documents for the case to be released.

Judge Wally Thompson
AUTHOR: CEHavens - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2011POSTED: Tuesday, July 26, 2011
This judge did not acknowledge me while I was giving my testimony and did not even look at me while I spoke. When the Animal Control guy spoke, the judge was all up in it. It was apparent that this judge made his decision BEFORE court even began. Animal Control called his witness who contradicted the testimony that Animal Control gave. Since I was the defendant, the burden of proof was on Kadell, the Animal Control. He didn't remotely prove his case, his witness contradicted him on two key areas, and, he actually lied about a few things. When I proved he'd lied, the judge ignored it. My problem with this judge is not that I 'lost' the case. It is how he handled the case. Because of the outlandish and obvious injustice, I am appealing his ruling. He told me before I could leave the court room I had to sign a "agreement to pay" form. I told him "I'm appealing this decision'. He responded with 'but I ruled against you'. Yes, and I believe he is wrong. He forced me to sign the form anyway so beside my signature I wrote 'pending appeal".
How has this judge been in his position this long? It's a paradox. It's clear he is out to make money for the county and not for an unbiased trial.
#2 Consumer Comment
Columbia County, St. Helens, OR. Courts/Judges System corrupt
AUTHOR: Elizabeth - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, November 07, 2004POSTED: Sunday, November 07, 2004
Elections for judges are merely a delusion. You will notice no one runs against them anyway so they win all the time and first they are appointed by ( the governor ) who really does not do this the state bar private selection committee does this and no other attorney runs against them because they are "forbidden by the bar". Many judges do not even have proper oaths of office and they do not represent a Constitutional court anyway. As for this county..they are all the same, good ol boy in someones pocket on all cases and most are Masons anyway in which they have a dual loyalty to the brotherhood of the bar association and their cult.
The system is for the manufacting victims for profit and I have seen my fill of this corruption and destructions of citizens and families. It is sad to think these judges live in our own communities and think so little of the people around them. They are in their own sick worlds with all of the lawyers and some day they will have to answer to God for what they have done here.

North Yorkshire Museums Get Arts Council Funding
8:26am 28th March 2013
Two North Yorkshire museums are celebrating after being awarded money from the Arts Council.
Ryedale Folk Museum has been given £123,085 for it's Harrison Outreach & Touring Programme.
The Harrison Collection – a major collection of English everyday life spanning five centuries and covering everything from cooking pots to brain surgery tools - was acquired by the Ryedale Folk Museum in 2011. An outreach and touring programme will deliver three new strands of engagement: the conversion of a two-wheeler caravan to go into rural secondary schools where museum staff would work with school groups to curate displays in the caravan; the establishment of a permanent display presence in Kirkbymoorside curated by different community groups including Scouts and Local History Groups and touring an outreach case based on the best of the community co-curated work.
The Laurence Sterne Trust got £75,000 for it's project Reading the Past, Writing the Future.
The Laurence Sterne Trust is aiming to bring the writer to life in real time in collaboration with schools and local churches. Celebrating the 300th anniversary of Sterne's birth, the project includes a unique performance in the Quire of York Minster (where Sterne himself preached) based on Sterne's final sermon and involving four school choirs. Primary school children, sixth formers and adult learners will explore the heritage of churches and a new series of workshops and artist residencies will inspire an informal adult education audience, building on Shandy Hall's reputation as a creative centre.
The Renaissance Strategic support fund supports activity that will contribute to the Arts Council's goals as set out in Culture, knowledge and understanding: great museums and libraries for everyone, particularly in ensuring that museums become more sustainable, resilient and innovative, and able to attract wider audiences.
The awards are for projects commencing in April 2013, and for activity up to 31 March 2014. The Arts Council has also supported 30 awards for activity across the two years 2013/14 and 2014/15.
Cluny Macpherson, Regional Director, Arts Council England said, 'Yorkshire is home to a really diverse range of fantastic museums and I'm delighted that we are investing in twelve of them with Renaissance strategic support funds. It will help the museums find new ways for people enjoy the assets on their doorstep and make the most of their amazing collections. We will also see museums on a stronger and more sustainable footing, so future generations will benefit too.'
An open application process for the third and final round of the Strategic support fund will open in autumn 2013, for activity commencing in April 2014. In this round, the Arts Council will be looking for ambitious projects that build on innovation, resilience and sustainability. Up to £8.6 million will be available.
The Strategic support fund is part of Arts Council England's Renaissance programme for regional museums in England. The Renaissance programme includes: the 16 successful Major partner museums; nine museum development providers; and a suite of National programmes including Accreditation, Designation, the V&A Purchase Grant Fund, the PRISM fund, support for national campaigns such as Kids in Museums and Museums at Night, and Subject specialist networks. The Strategic support fund is the final part of the Renaissance programme.

BFKL describes the high-energy behavior of the scattering of hadronic objects within the pQCD = (O(1))n
the need of sum of whole series of Leading Logarithmic (LL) terms.
result σ grows as a power of s 0.5 when too large
Solution (?) next-to-leading (NL) correction
But it needed about 10 years ! And not a satisfactory result !!!
How one can go beyond the NL ?
1.1 problem
Collisions of two perturbative hadronic objects:
s >> Q2, Q20 >> Λ2
DIS at HERA, high-energy γγscatt. at LEP, LHC etc.
2. Leading-logarithmic order
Assume that one of the two hadronic objects is much smaller than the other: Mp2= Q20 << Q2 << s, Bj x x = Q2/s,
it is necessary to resum terms
The cross section ∝ the quark distribution:
At small x, the splitting function is Pgg >> Pqq. So, let us examine the unintegrated gluon distribution:
Purely gluonic DGLAP:
The first order (Pgg1/z):
The n-th order:
The double-logarithmic (DL) series. This resums ladders in which there is strong ordering of both the transverse and longitudinal momenta.
2.2 Summing the DL series
Modified Bessel function:
If we set z = 2 ½, the result is
In a more general method, one has to solve the following equation:
Using the Mellin and inverse Mellin transformation, one finds
Saddle point method: with A= Q2/Q20.
around up to , and calculate the gaussian integral.
The result is:
In the exponent:
This calculation is valid for the large 1/x andQ2/Q20.
How shall we treat the case of Q2 ~ Q20?
When Q2 ~ Q20, no longer the transverse momentum is ordered.
We have to reum all leading (single) logarithms (LL) of x BFKL eq.
with the collinear kernel ( collinear approximation )
It means that the scattering of a big object off a small one must be the same as that of the small one off the big one
Its Mellin tr. is then
symmetric under
χ is usually called as the characteristic function.
1/γ: collinear limit, 1/(1-γ): anti-collinear limit. These tell us how the BFKL characteristic function diverges.
Including thedetailed structure of χ, the BFKL kernel is chosen as:
The last term describes the structure of the range for Q2 ~ k2.
Then, the characteristic function is
ψ(1) = -γ = -0.577 …
saddle point
The inverse Mellin trans. gives
The exponent corresponds to in eq.(15), χ 1/γ.
The saddle point is about γ = ½, which gives
The exponent is
χ(1/2) = 2(ψ(1) – ψ(1/2)) = 4ln2, if α = 0.2, the power is 0.5 !!
Exp. L3, OPAL coll.: γ* + γ* collision gives the power is about 0.29.
3. Next-to-leading corrections
NLL corrections to the BFKL:
The determination of χ1 took about 10 years !!!
Here we deduce the structure of the characteristic function in the NLL order.
Running coupling, Splitting functions, Energy scale
3.1 Running coupling
For the case of Q2 << k2, we take
This is again symmetric under the exchange of Q2 k2.
The first term (MT)
The second term (MT & expand up to α2)
to get the common factor α in front of χ.anti-collinear part
( lack of symmetry)
3.2 Splitting function
At NLL, we need to include the full splitting function. Its MT is
, ( expand in terms of ω)
small-x branch
nonsmall-x branch
collinear anti-collinear
A more subtle source of NLL correction: energy-scale terms
At leading order: s0 is arbitrary.
Changing s0 = introducing a whole set of higher order terms.
Natural choice is s0 =Q0Q. Then, the L term changes
(note: x = Q2/s, Q2 >> Q02, )
the second term: collinear log > the power of α
From RGE, collinear logs power of α !! the 2nd term should be canceled by the NL correction.
(MT) in χ1.
Now start from in the Mellin space
and then
This implies that when s0 = Q2, it is just enough to make a shift:
(note: replace )
and expand
the 2nd term gives the term ln3Q2. Finally, we need
which includes not only the collinear but also anti-collinear terms.
3.4 Putting things together
Putting together, we find
in the collinear approximation.
The true NLL correction in the MS-bar scheme:
A1 piece in Pgg
terms free to double and triple poles
The collinear approximation
works very well, within 7%.
3.5 Consequence of the NLL corrections
The result is: the power is – 0.16 !!!
no more in agreement with the data than the leading power !!!
saddle points
4. Beyond NLL
LL took a year, NL took about ten years, NNLL will take 20-100 years.
The only option left is to try and guess the higher-order terms.
"a method based on the collinear approximation"
For γ=1/2, one might NOT expect a collinear approximation to work too well, but at higher orders, it becomes better.
So, a guess: collinearly-enhanced contributions give a significant part of the higher-order corrections even beyond the NLL:
(1)1/γ2 terms (single logs) from the splitting function
and the running c.c.
(2) 1/γ3 terms (double logs) from the energy-scale
Straightforward to calculate the collinear NnLL corrections --- Ref.[13]
Collinear poles:
Anti-collinear poles:
expansion of α
4.2 Double collinear logs
DIS for Q2 >> k2, anti-DIS for Q2 << k2:
a change of energy-scale a shift of γ
Changing the scale to Q2:
4.3 The full resummed answer
The modified LL characteristic function is free from the unwanted double collinear logs, which must be subtracted from χ1.
Also consider the shift due to the energy-scale change.
A point to note: it is no longer an expansion in α, but rather in ω
the ω-expansion technique
LL, NLL BFKL exponents: 0.5, -0.16 at α=0.2.
ωs = min. of 0.27 !
ωc = position of the singularity of the
gluon anomalous dimension.
power growth
of small-x
splitting func.
It reflects dif.
between various
Present uncertainty:
about 15%.
5. Conclusions and outlook
We have seen how to deduce many of the properties of the BKFL pomeron in terms of the collinear and anti-collinear limit.
The resulting resummed power in the collinear approximation is much more compatible with the data than either the LL or NLL values.
For actual phenomenology, two more are required:
Despite initial fears, the large size of the NLL corrections is not an impediment to the use of BFKL resummention for predicting high-energy phenomena, but one needs to know the origin of the large corrections.

PRT-Texel Pure Performance
EBLEX Sire Linkage Programme (SLP)
– Download latest update 29/08/13
EBLEX Sire Linkage Programme (SLP) invites all sheep breeders who performance record their flocks to take part.
The scheme, which offers the opportunity to develop rapid genetic improvement while also increasing EBV accuracies within the breed, will provide each successful candidate with £2,500 for the collection and storage of semen straws. The 350 semen straws will then be made available free of charge to breeders.
All breeders who performance record their flock are invited to nominate their rams before the first round deadline in early July. Two rams are chosen in each round.
For a copy of the SLP guidelines and to nominate a ram, please contact:
Signet Breeding Services
Tel: 024 7647 8892
EBLEX Sire Linkage Programme (SLP)
Programme Objectives
- Increase flock connectedness, strengthening the quality of Signet breeding evaluations.
- Provide a short-term injection of elite genetics into a breed, with the additional benefits if these sires are widely used and their genes retained in the population.
- Increase the profile of recording within Breeds and Societies.
Rules for SLP Qualification
A sum of £2,500 will be made available to the successful RLP applicant.
Nominated Ram Requirements
- EBV's – 3 or more in the top 10% (based on the latest breed benchmark)
- Ultrasound scanning – Been ultrasound scanned OR have 25+ progeny with ultrasound measurements
Note: Rams who exhibit exceptional performance in specific traits (EBVs) that could be considered to improve the breed in a sustainable direction can also be nominated.
Additional criteria which could be taken into consideration are:
- Recorded progeny born in one or more flocks.
- Scrapie Genotype.
- MV status.
- High accuracy values for traits of interest.
- Two generations of recorded ancestors.
- Has been a Reference Sire with more to contribute to the breed.
The awarding panel must be convinced that there is a high chance that the semen collected would be used in multiple flocks. In small breeds, a written statement of intent from those breeders wishing to use the semen may be requested.
There are no age restrictions.
EBLEX will consider nominations twice a year in June and September.
Breed Societies, Breeding Groups or Individuals can nominate rams for semen collection and nominations should be sent to Dylan Laws by the dates notified in the nomination letter/email.
Nominations are competitive and open to any Signet recorded breed based in the UK, analysed on an across-flock basis, and with five or more Signet recording flocks in England.
Two rams are selected at each round (total of four rams per year).
More than one ram per breed can be nominated in each round.
In the event of a number of eligible rams within a breed being nominated, those with the highest EBVs/index within the breed will have the best chance of selection.
The nominating body or individual will be informed of the outcome within one month of the deadline.
Responsibilities of Successful Nominating Body or Individual
A total payment of £2,500 will be made to the organisation or individual who nominates the ram to cover semen collection and storage costs of a minimum of 350 straws.
EBLEX will make one payment of £1,250 upon the successful collection and storage of 350 straws of semen.
The facilitator responsible for the collection must provide proof of the number of straws collected.
A second payment of £1,250 will be made after 350 semen straws have been distributed.
Prior to the final payment records must be submitted containing:
Which breeders have used the semen
How many doses they received
Semen must be made available free of charge to any breeder wishing to use it (do not have to be registered with Signet), for 3 years (after 3 years unused semen can be disposed of).
Payment of handling/shipping charges for semen distribution is the responsibility of the breeder wishing to use the semen.
Any additional straws (exceeding 350) are the property of the nominee who is/are free to market them as they wish.
EBLEX will not be liable for any costs incurred in the unsuccessful attempt to collect semen from any ram or rams.
In the case of a group or society nominating a ram, distribution of the funding is at the complete discretion of the group/society awarded the funding. One way to distribute funds might be:
£750 ram fee for the owner
£1500 for semen collection, and,
Funds should be allocated by the applicant to ensure the storage costs for the three years are covered
EBLEX will use successful rams as case studies for publicising the SLP.

Of course you do!
When we are overworked, and most of us are, it's stressful.
As a 30+ year retirement enthusiast (first as my employment and now with my other website), I know first hand the stress and anxiety workaholics find when they retire. They worried about finances, got that all right -- then BAM! Retired, and what do I do all day?
WHY? Because they had no life outside of work.

Introducing principle of attacking (penetrative passing and support play)
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Ball mastery
Concentration and Awareness
4 grids (5x5) with different colours on each corner of a 40x40 grid.
Each player with a ball.
Each player to dribble within the 40x40 grid. The coach will shout a colour grid and all the players will run to gather in the grid.
May begin the warm-up with ball mastery in stagnant position.
Dribble with the ball into the coloured grid.
Mix and match of ball mastery and ruushing into the grids.
Impose simple punishment (push-ups, jumping jacks etc) for last player to enter grid
Coaching point:
Improve of player concentration and awareness.
Encourage player to lookup for during dribbling and rushing for the grid.
Improve and build confidence on ball mastery.
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Set up a grid that is 10X10. Organize the team into groups of three players per grid. Each of the three players should position themselves near 3 different corners of the grid with one ball.
Players are simply to never leave the adjacent cone to the player with the ball empty. For example, say the drill begins with a player at position 1 in possession of the ball while players at 2 and 4 start at the cones adjacent to the player at 1. The player at position 1 can pass to either of the players at positions 2 and 4. If the player at position 1 passes to the player at position 4, the player at position 2 must quickly move to position 3 in order to support the player in "un-defended space". The play continues with no defensive pressure and players are allowed to pass to either supporting player. This soccer drill is simple, however, players will have to pay attention to the ball movement and often anticipate the next move in order to move to space quicker.
Play with 1 or 2 touches
Add a defender
Coaching point:
Player to think and move to the next supporting position.
Explain the Defended Area
Player to assist teamates wiith good angle of support
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Make a grid 20x20. Split team into three teams of two players per grid.
2 teams work together on the outside of the grid while the 2 defenders work on the inside of the grid. The four players on the outside keep possession and keep the ball from the defending team in the grid. The outside team scores a point when the ball is passed between two defenders (SPLIT) and is received by their teammate across the grid.
If a defender manage to the ball from the player on the attacking team, he and his partner become the defenders and the team winning the ball comes outside the cones and joins the other attackers.
When the defensive team gets split, they have to win the ball 1 extra time. So for example, say the 2 defenders get split 2 times before winning the ball, they must win the ball 3 times before switching with the attackers.
Limit the number of touches per possession
Expand the grid (eg 40x40) and have the players play inside the grid instead of outside the grid.
Coaching point:
Attacking players are moving for their partners and opening up in space.
Balls are passed with good pace and on target.
Encourage players to communicate verbally and with their body and hands.
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Grids of 7x7 and set them about 40X50 apart on all sides. Split the group into two teams.
Instruct the teams to pass among their team to keep possession while attempting to score a point by passing the ball to a teammate that is inside one of the smaller grids. The teams can score in any of the corners, however, they cannot score in the same corner twice in a row.
Do not allow players to stand inside the grids waiting for a pass. Instead, instruct the players to work on timing of the runs and timing of the pass to connect inside the grid.
Change the scoring rule to where the goal is scored only when a give and go is performed with the player that is in the grid.
Coaching Point:
Weight and accuracy of the passing
Player without the ball should render support to the player with the ball at all times
Making decisive runs to ensure run and pass are in sync.
Enforce players to change the point of attack and are not forcing passes into congested areas.
Making advantagen of open areas.
Communication within teamates to allow anticipation of pass.

Saturday, April 5 will mark the 4th anniversary of the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster.
"I wouldn't want my worst enemy to go through what we went through," said Nancy Long.
Long tells 59 News her grandson, Ronald Lee Maynor, was just 31 years old when the Upper Big Branch Mine exploded. He left behind a wife, and two young children.
"I never did quit praying, I never did give up hope," said Long.
She said 4 years later, justice has still not been served to her family and the families of all 29 miners.
"You know if they would have been doing things right down there this would have never ever happened. And I believe, I study about it now... That they knew from day 1 that there was going to be no survivors," said Long.
She said this year, hurts even more, now that the owner of the mine, Don Blankenship, decided to speak up about his role in the disaster... after staying silent for 4 years.
"The week that we were down there we never did see Blankenship," said Long.
She said he still thinks only of himself and leaves every grieving family out of it.
"I wonder if he put in that movie the little babies crying... wondering where their daddy's are," said Long.
April 5th marks the day Long says her life changed forever.
"It's no easier now than it was 4 years ago," she said.

Roland Kickinger Filling in for Schwarzenegger in Terminator Salvation
by Kevin Powers
July 17, 2008
The first teaser trailer for Terminator Salvation just hit yesterday afternoon and today we gain even more insight into the highly anticipated (at least to me!) project slated for release in May of 2009. Ever since the film's announcement, a pressing question has been whether Arnold Schwarzenegger would reprise his role in some capacity (even as a cameo). Given the former Terminator's political standing, I've constantly brushed off the possibility. It seems I can continue to do so, since the Clinton News-Record out of Ontario (thanks AICN!) brings us word that Schwarzenegger-inspired bodybuilder Roland Kickinger (seen above) will assume the role that the "Governator" would have otherwise filled.
Kickinger seems a smart choice considering the man's background. Similar to Schwarzenegger, Kickinger is from Austria, a career bodybuilder who recently turned to motion pictures. Of the original cyborg assassin, Kickinger says, "He was a great mentor. I had several mentors, but Arnold… he's definitely an amazing inspiration." The two actually trained together at one point, and Kickinger even played Arnold in a A&E biopic. If McG can't have the real thing, he's definitely come as close as possible.
Of Kickinger's role in Terminator Salvation, you can head over to the original article since it's somewhat spoiler-ish. But without actually reading the small bit of info, I bet folks can envision Kickinger's role in the overall film. You know he has some part as a hulky T-800, but he's not the key antagonist considering the guy's minimal experience. Not to be down on him, but he's mostly a prop that connects the new trilogy to the original series. But as with other casting (e.g. Helena Bonham Carter, Common), McG is keeping up the tempo. I think it's another solid choice adding more to the production. What about you?

Area of a Rectangle (Test 2)
Area of a Rectangle Test 2Below is 5-question test on finding the area of a rectangle. This test is linked to the lesson on finding the area of a rectangle, which also has a test.
All tests are printable, and all resources on this website can be used without prior permission. Whether you're teaching or learning, good luck!
Interactive Testshow
A Note On UnitsThe area of a rectangle is a length times a length, so we say its dimension is length2. (All areas are lengths squared.)
This affects the units used. If the lengths of a rectangle are in cm, the area is in cm2. If the lengths are in inches, the area is in inches2.

Went to take some pics of the truly magnificent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
Superlatives would not do justice to the architecture and the attentention to detail that has gone into its construction. I shall reserve mentioning the details for a later date; but as an example..the mosque's carpet was handwoven in Iran by 32,000 women. Its colors are organic. It is one piece covering the central hall. The quality..stand on an original Persian carpet..this is even better!!
The Fuji XE-1 at dusk ( I happened to be there at sunset ).
The walls of the mosque are made of stone imported from Tibet..

Hi there Jorgen. Thanks for looking in.
The only restrictions are with respect to dress code and behaviour. If one is comfortable in visiting the Vatican with their dress, then it should be fine here. Women do need to cover their head. Shoes must be removed.
Photography is permitted. There are two small halls reserved for prayers, where non-muslims cannot enter and where photography is prohibited.
The main hall of the mosque is open to all. It is the grandest one too. It is closed for Friday prayers.
Take a guided tour. It is free and well worth it.
Two months from now would be a better time too..less heat and humidity.
Best regards.
Thank you for all the information, Rayyan. I will absolutely try to find time for this.

Inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
The chandeliers are imported from Germany. Millions of crystals, made to order by guess who?
I shall mention later about the calligraphy.
I went to have coffee in a mall in Dubai.
And ran into an old friend ...small world!!

Looks like a good trip, Rayyan. Wonderful photography too.
Shee-sha..nothing more pleasant for me than to have a bubbly with Arabic coffee, sitting on the seafront in the evening and listen to good music..
Let me say this...I would take the Fuji over that other one, if I was limited to one cam.
I have left the exif data intact for all posts in this series.
These are wonderful, Rayyan. Which lenses do you use here?
Rayyan: Very happy to find out, that you are doing well after all (you know what I mean)! And very thankworthy that you keep on posting such beautiful and great photography, without any question worth being quoted again and again (those are my favorites), also inspiring and motivating again and again.
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes for you and Ayesha for the remaining days of your journey

Some knew about chronometers and precision celestial calculators more than a thousand years ago...
They had to know the prayer times. They had to cross the deserts.
And they had to cross the seas.
Streetshooter, Lloyd..many thanks for stopping by.
some more studio work ...... X-Pro ...

Friends, thanks for the ' likes '.
My wife was tired of me photographing. ' What more is there to shoot? '.
' the dustbin ? ', I said quietly and clicked.
or the note paper..
But shhh!, she would be furious if she saw these.
Our hotel, this time around, has an Egyptian theme.

Take some of the most precious stones.
Bring in the most famous designers.
Give them the time to complete their designs.
Great images, Rayyan. Stunning place, Wow.
Permit me to narrate a commentary and post some photographs. You could say that I started this narration some time ago.
This is a photograph from a set posted on this forum from my Morocco image collection.
What has that got to do in this thread?. Good question!
Not far from those mountains, as seen above, lived a young man. He would leave his home town of Tangiers, Morocco, at a very early age.
He would travel from Morocco to China. He would travel by foot, mule, horseback, on elephants, camels and ships. His journey, history tells us, was the greatest till the steam engine was invented. Further than Columbus or Magellan, or Marco Polo.
When he would return home, his family would be dead, his friends would have long gone and Europe was in the throes of the biggest disaster mankind had witnessed till that time..The Black Plague was rampant.
This Arab Traveler from Morocco was Ibn Batutta.
I meet with him again in Dubai!! Small world indeed.
The Ibn Batutta Mall. One of its kind. Dedicated to the man. Sections devoted to the various countries he visited. Take a ride from India to China for less than one $. Hop on the train in the Mall!!
I shall take you through the various sections; and thus through the journey of Ibn Batutta. Along the way introduce you to a 1000 years of knowledge rediscovered.
Lonely, harsh, desolate. Hardly anyone stops here. A boy lives there. Counts numbers. Looks up to the sky, counts the stars.
Looks at the ground, the sky, the sun and the moon. Numbers..he reduces everything in his life to numbers.
Later, much much later, he shall write one of the most famous of his books..Al-Jabr wa al-Muqabala.
He shall have taken mathematics from the physical to the abstract. He shall have placed numbers on both sides of zero. He shall define rules to use the abstract in mathematics.
He shall have given the world Algebra and Algorithms. This boy from modern day Uzbekistan; from the city of Khiva. More than a thousand years ago.
Ron, Hermann, ceh..thanks guys for the likes.
Much appreciated.
The man of mathematics..of Algebra and Algorithms is dead. Some say he was the greatest and shall not be equalled.
The river Tiger and Euphrates. A marshy delta. The city of Basra. Forgotten till very recently. Basra, Iraq. Iraq. The cradle of civilization. Languages. Science.
The year 900 C.E...100 years after the death of the Al-Khwarizmi, a young man roams the streets of Basra. In time he shall rival the greatest of mathematicians, engineers and astronomers. He shall pen 200 scientific books.
Basra is desert, and water. lines of light angling down at various times. Through haze it is different, thru clouds and through the clear desert day and night.
The young man is fascinated by Light. What is light?, he asks.
Were the Greeks correct, he asks. Like the scientists of a thousand years later , he shall write that all scientific assumptions must be questioned until proven by testing.
Light, lenses, pin-holes, refraction, reflection..these consume his time. He questions the very nature of light? What it is made of.
Kamra..camera. Kamra is an Arabic word ( also Turkish )..means a dark room.
The young man begins to experiment with light in a Kamra!!
What is darkness, shadows, shapes, light?
Sometime ago, in this forum, I asked a question of an image I had taken and posted...Is it mathematics or is it Art?
The young man shall spend years understanding the role of mirrors, the changes in levels at dusk and dawn. He shall investigate the impact of curved mirrors on the play of light.
Come out of the dark, so that I can see you said the god priest to the slave..
Brilliant in mathematics, astronomy, philosophy; this young man details the equations that govern the behavior of light. He illustrates the principle of vision. He describes in minute details the functioning of the various parts of the human eye.
He describes the camera-obscura!! He proves that light travels in a straight line!!
He has had to leave his beloved Basra to follow his search for knowledge.
He travels to a land deep in mystery. From one cradle of civilization, he travels to another.
He travels to Egypt. To Cairo.
This young man, for those interested, is Ibn al-Haytham.
Science shall have taken a giant leap forward.
Good stuff, and very interesting, Rayyan. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely agree with Lloyd Rayyan, a great story being very well told! Can't wait to see the next segment
Egypt..The Land of the Pharaohs. Nefertiti, Cleopatra, Tutankhamun, Osiris, Ra.
The land of Sirus. The land of the Nile Delta.
The Land of the Al-Azher University. The architectural Jewel of the Fatimid Dynasty. The prime example of Abbasid arches.The seat of learning. It is here that our
friend from my previous post makes home.
The place where Musa ibn Maymun sought refuge from the Spanish persecution
of the Jews. Musa ibn Maymun, one of the most important if not the most important, philosopher of Jewish thought and philosophy.
Most know him as Maimonides.
I shall just pass through the Egyptian section quickly. Most of you are well aware of Egypt..
Ibn Batutta shall travel from Egypt to perform the Sacred Pilgrimage to Makkah
in Saudi Arabia. My home. He shall stay there for a time before hitting the Silk Route towards China.
Ibn Batutta has already visited Spain, Tunisia and Libya.
Rayyan: Thanks a lot for your interesting and enriching "lessons" about a few facets of what could be called the roots of oriental culture, all the more you're such a diverting narrator. Likewise for me thought-provoking about the transition of those truly stunning cultural achievements in the course of centuries up to the present cultural status and social reality in orient and occident, respectively across the globe. But that's for sure "Too Far Afield" to quote Theodor Fontane (Effie Briest) or in succession Guenther Grass ...
As for the pictures: All of them are beautiful and my personal favorite of the last posts is the B&W that may well follow a mathematical logic but, for me it's art.
All The best to you and yours!
Best regards - Hermann
I stared at the ceiling. ' Come on…else you shall miss the train ', I heard Ayesha say. ' Go on', I said..I shall meet you in Beijing!! She boarded the train. I was left alone. I could not have been happier!!
I sat down on a nearby bench. Continued to stare at the ceiling. I had been here before. I have visited these places many times in the past.
Qourtoba, Gharnata, Andulus…names from history.
Spain! Cordoba, Granada, Andulusia..
Strange feeling. I had undergone heart surgery recently, and somehow I kept thinking of a woman. A woman from history.
Spain. The seat of science, knowledge and culture in that period. The richest cities are to be found here.
A woman is giving birth to her child. She has traveled throughout Spain to find someone that can help her. Her pregnancy is difficult. If a boy, he might one day be a royal.
No doctor wants to handle her case.
On the advice of some physicians, she travels to the Andulusian city of Madinat al-Zahara. They have told her a doctor there might help. It is her last gamble.
The year is 1005 C.E. The doctor tells the nurse to prepare the patient. he scrubs his hands ( later to be known as disinfection ) with a strange liquid.
The patient has come from Cordoba. Will she survive? Will her child survive? She is afraid. Very very afraid.
The doctor brings forth an instrument ( which he had invented years ago…we shall know it as the forceps ). The woman prays. Will she ever see Cordoba again?
The doctor gets to work. Years and years of experience. The knowledge of Galan and those that followed him. The doctor's own painstaking research. All these are brought to bear; as the doctor works on his patient.
Hours pass. Will she live? Will her child be born alive?
The woman should not have worried. She was being looked after by a surgeon. The best. This Arab doctor would be the father of modern surgery. A Master of plastic surgery, dentistry, pharmacology. It shall take 300 years for his works to be translated in Latin and European tongues. From heart disease to mastectomy. He shall design 200 instruments. It shall take a 1000 years to see them as common items in surgery.
' we knew that if anyone could save me, it would be you ', would say a noble traveling down from Germany.
Al-Andulusia. The year 1005 C.E. The doctor's name is Al-Zahrawi. Known in the west as Albucasis. His massive book on medicine is Al-Tasrif, translated as ' The Method of Medicine '. Spain..Cities of a thousand fountains..
Hermann, ceh..thank you guys.
Quickly now thru Spain...
Man and the first flight...
Place: Qurthoba, Spain. The Man, Ibn Firnas.
To be more precise: 600 years before the birth of Leonardo Da Vinci.
I have hurried through the journey ( you might disagree ). I have missed the trains to Baghdad, Syria, Mali, Palestine, Sinai. The trains thru the Silk route.
And I know I shall miss the train to China.
I shall hop on this train. My last stop. Persia.
Difficult to say something about thousands of years of history in one lifetime or a hundred.
The achievements and the people behind them is a whose who of mankind's progress in all fields...I mean every single field.
There was the Door to which I found no Key;
There was the Veil through which I might not see:
Some little talk awhile of Me and Thee
There was--and then no more of Thee and Me.
The sciences and the arts...
With them the seed of Wisdom did I sow,
And with mine own hand wrought to make it grow;
And this was all the Harvest that I reap'd--
"I came like Water, and like Wind I go."
I sometimes think that never blows so red
The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled;
That every Hyacinth the Garden wears
Dropt in her Lap from some once lovely Head.
Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into the Dust descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and--sans End!
The length of a year is calculated as 365.24219858156 days.
In the 21st century using the Hubble telescope and atomic clocks the year is known to be 365.242190 days.
An error in the 6th decimal place. The year 1079 C.E.
Working in Samarkand, Nishapur and Balkh ( all in Iran of today ) a man shall provide formulae for solving the cubic equation. He shall also determine the formulae for binominal expansion. He shall critique Euclid's theories. His work shall later find its way into Europe and form the basis of non-Euclidean geometry.
Myself when young did eagerly frequent
Doctor and Saint, and heard great argument
About it and about: but evermore
Came out by the same door where in I went.
The man is known more as a poet than as one of the greatest mathematician and astronomer of his times.
The verses I have been quoting were written by the same man.
He is known in the West as Omar Khayyam. He is just one of the hundreds of names that showed the way in science and the arts. From the land of Persia.
Let's close with another verse from Omar Khayyam..
When You and I behind the Veil are past,
Oh, but the long, long while the World shall last,
Which of our Coming and Departure heeds
As the Sea's self should heed a pebble-cast.
benroy, Hermann..thank you.
That is end of my short journey through a shopping Mall. Next time if someone asks you what there is in a shopping mall; you know what to say!!
I shall leave you with one last image from Sheikh Zayed Mosque...
Thank you all for being with me on the train.
Ayesha...well she took the train to strange places like Chanel, Tiffanys, Cartier, Dior..places I have never been to. Strange places, foreign names.
Kindest regards.

Laboratory experiments with Branchville sandy loam fertilized with nitrate salts showed that only trace losses of nitrogen occurred by denitrification when small samples were kept in air at approximately ⅓ atm. moisture content. This was true in both the presence and absence of up to 1% glucose or 2% wheat straw. When soils were aerated for 1 to 3 weeks with nitrogen gas containing 2.27% oxygen the losses of nitrogen were significant in about half of the tests and not in the others. When the oxygen partial pressure was only 0.46% the losses of nitrogen were as high as 10% of the added nitrate in the absence of any energy source and 50% in the presence of 0.5% glucose. Although appreciable denitrification did not occur until the oxygen partial pressure was much reduced, it is pointed out that under field conditions some denitrification would be expected at times even in open, well-drained soils.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

I love the way bulk foods look stored in glass jars. Simple ingredients boasting great potential. I love the sound food makes when poured from cotton bulk bags as it 'pings' against the glass.
I have photographed and mentioned these before, but I want to talk about how much I love the design of Weck jars. I think they are in many ways an improvement on the traditional glass wire bail jar. The seal is the same with a rubber gasket and a fitted glass lid, but the clamping system on the Weck jars employs two loose stainless steel clips that snap onto the lid and lip of the jar, forming an airtight seal. Because the lid can be removed completely, they're easy to clean and dry. The stainless steel clamps won't rust the way the wire can on a bail jar.
They're great for canning and food storage. For the dry bulk grains on my counter that I use nearly every day—like quinoa, I simply cover the jar with the glass lid. Other dry bulk goods—like nuts, seeds, tea, spices, and chocolate, I seal with the gasket.
Weck seems to be growing in popularity in the States, which means increased availability. Recently I've been able to find them in boutique home goods stores and even at Crate and Barrel. Last year I ordered a set directly from the company website and it arrived in big cardboard box filled with packing peanuts—woops. I took the peanuts to a UPS store where they reuse them. Many shipping companies will accept used packing materials as long as they are clean. Of course it's always better shop at local business when possible. I carry my large canvas tote when I go shopping for new or used jars and bottles. I've learned to throw in a sweater or some t-shirts to wrap fragile items in.
