Bronislaw Malinowski Literary Biography
by • 11/10/2012 • Biography
Seen as the father of fundamentalist anthropology as well ethnographic research, Bronislaw Malinowski did much to develop and advance the field. He expanded the discipline from an evolutionary study into one that covered sociology and psychology. During his years of research, he wrote numerous papers and essays, the most important of which are listed below.
Malinowski's Early Life and Education
On April 7 1884, Bronislaw Malinowski was born in the town of Krakow in Poland which was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
He attended Jagiellonian University in Krakow, originally focusing on mathematics and the physical sciences. He then became ill. While recovering, he read The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion by James Frazer. This text sparked his interest in ethnology leading him to take up additional courses in philosophy and psychology as well. In 1908, he graduated with a PhD in Philosophy, Physics and Mathematics.
Malinowski then enrolled in the University of Leipzig, focusing on physical chemistry. He studied under Wilhelm Wundt who provided further influence in Malinowski's interest in psychology and philosophy.
In 1910, he traveled to the UK where he enrolled in the London School of Economics. He studied under C. G. Seligman and Edvard Westermarck, and was awarded a PhD in Science in 1916.
Malinowski Book: The Family among the Australian Aborigines
In 1913, Malinowski published his first book, The Family among the Australian Aborigines. Created during his time as a student at the London School of Economics, this text looks at courtship, marriage, sex, home life and kinship of the Australian Aborigines. Drawing on various sources, Malinowski compiles a picture of family life among these tribal people. He also points out the discrepancies, contradictions and vagueness of the referenced ethnographic studies.
Malinowski's Global Travels
As a result of his interest in ethnography, Malinowski traveled frequently to the Pacific Region. In 1914, he made expeditions to the Mailu Island and the Trobriand Islands in Papua. During this time, World War One broke out and he was forbidden to return to Europe. Although Polish, he was still a citizen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Despite this, the Australian government allowed him to study the locals in Melanesia where he conducted research on the people of the Trobriand people of Papua.
Malinowski's Return to England
After the war, Malinowski returned to London. In 1916, he received a PhD in Science from the London School of Economics. In 1919, he married Elsie Rosaline Masson with whom he had three children. In 1922, he received a doctorate in the science of anthropology. At the same time, he began teaching at the London School of Economics. He was appointed as Reader of Anthropology in 1924 and took up the Chair of Anthropology in 1927. During this time, he developed the school, eventually transforming it into one of Europe's finest anthropological centers. He was granted British citizenship in 1931.
Malinowski Book: Argonauts of the Western Pacific
After a lengthy study of the Trobriand People of Papua New Guinea, Malinowski published Argonauts of the Western Pacific in 1922. This book focuses on the economics of the Kula exchange system. The text also covers aspects such as social organization, mythology and beliefs. It was one of the first documents to paint an overall picture of the people being researched. It also covers the methods of ethnography, defining and developing this method of participant observation in a manner that had previously never been attempted.
Malinowski Essay: Mutterrechtliche Familie und Ödipus-Komplex
In 1924, Malinowski published Mutterrechtliche Familie und Ödipus-Komplex. This paper in German has not been translated, but the title is approximately Matriarchical famlies and the Oedipus complex.
Malinowski Essay: Myth in Primitive Psychology
In his 1926 essay, Myth in Primitive Psychology, Malinowski looks at the origin of myths and their intimate connection to the rituals of tribal society. This paper was written using research done on the Trobriand Islanders.
Malinowski Book: Crime and Custom in Savage Society
Also in 1926, Malinowski continued his examination of the Trobriand Island tribes in his book Crime and Custom in Savage Society. In the first chapter, he describes their obligations for law and order, in particular how they are connected to economics, social structure, marriage and religion. The second chapter deals with crime and punishment, examining the legal systems and influences within these tribes.
Malinowski Book: Sex and Repression in Savage Society
Malinowski continued his analysis of the Trobriand Islanders in his 1927 book, Sex and Repression in Savage Society. This text is divided into four parts:
- Part One deals with puberty, childhood sexuality and maternal roles.
- Part Two covers myth and taboo with relation to the family.
- Part Three compares psychoanalysis with anthropology stating that the two reach very different conclusions about the human mind. Specific mention is made to the Oedipus complex and how it is not present within the Trobriand Island tribes.
- Part Four looks at humanity's transition from animals to ordered society. This section also studies how taboos have to be enforced.
Bronislaw Malinowski Book: The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia
In his 1929 text, The Sexual Life of Savages in North-Western Melanesia, Malinowski again examined the personal lives, rules and taboos of the Trobriand tribes. In this text, he focused on how sexuality was structured in a social context. He also studies the parent-child relationship as well as the family structure. This book was the second in a trilogy that began with Argonauts of the Western Pacific.
Malinowski in America
Malinowski traveled to the United States for both research and lecturing. He studied the Pueblo Indians in 1926 and lectured at Cornell University in 1933. His wife died in 1935. Malinowski continued to travel to the US afterwards. During one of his visits in 1939, World War Two broke out. As a result, he decided to stay in the US, taking up a teaching role at Yale University.
Malinowski Book: Coral Gardens and Their Magic
In 1935, Malinowski finished his trilogy on the Trobriand Islanders with his book, Coral Gardens and Their Magic. This two volume set is divided into seven parts. Volume One is titled The Description of Gardening and details the tribe's methods of land cultivation including social organization, magic rituals and gift obligation. In the Second Volume, titled The Language of Magic and Gardening, he begins with a study of the Trobriander's language, extending that to the field of gardening. He also describes the language used in magic incantations and provides an analysis of a few spells that were common in this society.
Malinowski's Final Years
In 1940, he married his second wife, Anna Valetta Hayman-Joyce. In 1942, he founded the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America taking up the role of chairman of the board. While preparing to conduct research in Oaxaca, Mexico, Bronislaw Malinowski died of a heart attack on May 16, 1942, at the age of 58.
Malinowski Book: A Scientific Theory of Culture and Others Essays
Published posthumously in 1944, A Scientific Theory of Culture and Other Essays is a series of three essays written by Malinowski during his life. The first and second, A Scientific Theory of Culture and The Functional Theory look at anthropology from a functionalist standpoint. The third is an appreciation for Sir James George Frazer and his contributions to the anthropological field.
Malinowski Book: The Dynamics of Culture Change
The posthumous publication, The Dynamics of Culture Change was published in 1946. In it, Malinowski examines African society and the role that white man has played in changing it. He specifically looks at the differences between western promises of development and the tribal viewpoint of the people whose lands are being occupied.
Bronislaw Malinowski Book: Magic, Science and Religion and Other Essays
Published in 1948, Magic, Science and Religion and Other Essays is a collection of three essays written by Malinowski during his life. These are:
- Magic, Science and Religion
- Myth in Primitive Psychology
- Baloma: The Spirits of the Dead in the Trobriand Islands
Each focuses on the Trobriand Islanders and the roles that science, religion, myth and magic had within their society.
Malinowski Book: A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Word
A Diary in the Strict Sense of the Word was published in 1967 and contained Malinowski's diaries from his field trips to Papua from 1914 to 1915 and again from 1917 to 1918. It is an honest account of Malinowski's feelings for the work that he did, detailing the personal and physical hardships that he had to endure. It created controversy on its publication as it contains Malinowski's often unflattering views about the native men and women whom he studied.

When Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan delivered his semiannual report to Congress on Feb. 27, the unflappable economist pronounced the U.S. economy to be surprisingly... unflappable.
"If ever a situation existed in which the fabric of business and consumer confidence was vulnerable to being torn, the shock of Sept. 11 was surely it," Greenspan testified. "[But] in the past several months, increasing signs have emerged that some of the forces that have been restraining the economy over the past year are starting to diminish and that activity is beginning to firm."
He concluded, "Although there are ample reasons to be cautious, the recuperative powers of the U.S. economy... have been remarkable."
Indeed, so much has changed since Sept. 11, when terrorist attacks suddenly catapulted all of us into war and our futures into doubt. But Greenspan's words are only part of the reassuring discoveries that so many of us—once dulled by routine—have made and acted upon since last fall.
For me, my major life change lies here before you. This issue of BD&C marks my first with Reed Business Information (itself a change from our former "Cahners" moniker) and my first editorial effort outside of The McGraw-Hill Companies in 15 years. Hopefully, my tenure here will be even longer, as I lead our renewed efforts to give you the kind of dynamic and comprehensive coverage of this bellwether industry that you have come to expect from BD&C.
As I take the helm, I no doubt will lean heavily on Editor Gordon Wright, now in his 29th year with BD&C. For his part, after ably managing the editorial side of this publication since C.C. Sullivan left for other ventures last summer, Gordon now will be able to concentrate again on his first love: reporting. Over the past year, he's compiled a backlog of stories he's still itching to get at. One of my first priorities is to let him.
My other aims are still taking shape, though. So, if you have any ideas about how we can serve you or this industry better, please feel free to contact me or my staff. In short, I am excited to be here. And, to borrow from our esteemed Fed chairman, I believe BD&C's prospects for 2002 and beyond are simply "remarkable."

I've learned to make alot of noise before I let the dog out, so the squirrels have a chance to climb the fence and get away. But today, I forgot. I was on my way out to grab a few photos of my water lily. Within 5 seconds of letting my dog out, I heard a squeal. I ran towards her yelling.......she had a small squirrel in her mouth. I screamed like crazy and she dropped it. I picked it up and it was gasping. I sat on the deck with it in my lap, as it slipped away. I think it was probably from the nest I have been watching for awhile.
I know my dog was just doing it's natural thing, but I'm so mad at her, I could almost give her away right now. And I'm so disappointed in myself for not doing what I should have done. I'm just so darned sad. |

I'm sorry this happened, I can understand how you feel as I have had similiar things happen in my life. Try to remember how much your dog loves you and that she was only doing what dogs do. I have to remember the same thing about the squirrels as we have so many and I can't tell you how many things they have done to my garden, stealing and eating and such. But I am sorry that you had this happen. Kiki |
I feel for you too. The same thing happened to me when a friend of mine came over once and left the front door open by mistake (??!!!--- he is no longer a friend). The worse thing about it was that there were two guys driving by in a pick-up truck that witnessed the whole thing. They stopped and got out of the truck, exclaiming to me the entire time I was tackling my dog, "That's one of the coolest things I have EVER seen..." Anyway, the squirrel in this case was not dead either and I also had to witness his dying breath. I was in tears and those two guys were like, "That was soooo cool..." UGH!! You'll probably never forget again, but how about tying some jingle bells to the outside doorknob? They would jingle as you turned the handle, and, by the time the door was opened, the squirrels would be notified... So sorry this had to happen... Jenny |

Thanks Kiki and Jenny, Jenny.....that's awful, how those boys acted! |
What a horrible, familiar feeling it is when your actions inadvertently cause harm to something. Been there, done that. In fact I so hate the thought that I might smash a frog or toad at night on the road that I have taken up carrying a minnow bucket in the passenger side floorboard just in case I need to relocate a few of the little dears. It's the stuff you feel you could have avoided that really gets to you the worst. You didn't let Suzi out to purposely kill the poor thing, and she certainly can't be expected to act like anything other than the dog she is. I think you need to know that what's important here is that you are honestly affected by what took place, but in a positive way. I see you taking steps and making the effort to insure that it doesn't happen again, or at least as seldom as possible. On the other hand, you COULD have reacted like the young men did that Jenny mentioned, which at least was indifference to the loss of life and at worst a macabre fascination with it. I hate to get caught over-generalizing here, but my first thought was, well , that's young boys for ya. Too much @$%#@!!! X-BOX. But isn't Suzi a stray that you took in?? See, there you go....you try to do what seems right and you still have moments where things just get crazy and confusing. At least you still made a positive difference in her life by giving her a home....I still say it all comes down to Chaos...if you hadn't taken her in, she'd likely be who knows where, maybe dead in an alley somewhere, but she wouldn't have caught the young squirrel. But possibly Suzi, in being a potential predator to the other squirrels, is keeping them on their toes and alert to danger, and in doing so is providing them with better survival skills. Cathy, we know from your posts that you always try to do right by all living things, so don't bang your head over something you couldn't possibly have forseen. A bunch of jingle bells on the door that you use to let her out will do the trick nicely...they do learn. If you still aren't sure and you have the time, maybe you could do a walk-about and check for stragglers. It's hard sometimes...... |

:( dg has many good points, and i will also echo that the faster squirrels had a valuable experience. please forgive your pup. likely, the skulking is a reaction to your emotional state. she doesn't understand but knows something is wrong. when people are angry they tend to narrow their eyes and direct stare. dogs interpret this at least as a challenge, and with passive dogs will submit or skulk and hide. |

Thanks so much Dirtgirl and fairy toadmother. Sometimes it's just so hard to deal with innocents being harmed. We have so much property, I don't know why these little guys pick our back yard. Maybe they're getting a drink from my watergarden. When we got Suzi (the dog), I did have big concerns over all the wildlife in the back yard. I could confine her somehow in the back yard, but then her life wouldn't be as nice. It took me forever to train her in the house, and we've made progress. But once she's outside..........all bets are off! She seems to lose her hearing outside, and just goes into "hunter" mode. It's a good thing for her that she's so darned cute. I really appreciate everyone's support! This has affected me alot. |

hmmmm, will a motion activated sprinkler work to keep them from a danger zone? or deter pup? then of course, critters would have to be in the right area for deterence/protection. i wonder, if she were on a leash while outdoors and critters were in the yard- leash for control and protecting critters, would giving the command "sit-stay" and rewarding for good behavior, or anytime she showed no interest rewarding for behavior, would it make a difference? does she have a fave squeaky toy to distract her attention from the critters and she could only have it when outside? if she gives attention to the critters, give the toy a squeak. she looks away to the toy and gets rewarded. would that help, i wonder. well, as long as there is no sight hound in there! your welcome, catherinet. i know i would feel just awful, as well. |

Would bells on her collar work, like cat collars? Or is she too fast for it to help? Kiki |

Review and ratings for the Nokia Asha 502 Dual SIM Phone
Rated 3.4 out of 5 by 18
Rated 5 out of 5 by aksytechie The bang for your buck
For all the people complaining about the product they have not identified their need and bought this phone. This phone is the best one for regular use and not so much suited for business professionals because of performance.
It packs a 5MP snapper which is pretty decent because of the flash and then you can't expect lumia like shooting capabilities here though it is 5MP because of less processing power the phone has. On a rating of 5 it goes 4 for the camera.
It has facebook, whatsapp, wechat, line, foursquare, linkedin, twitter, qeep and all these apps work pretty well because they are specially designed for this phone.
There is an app for saving notes, an app for checking mail ( excellent interface if you have multiple email accounts ).
The best thing it comes with NOKIA MUSIC with a subscription of 5 months after you activate it and there is no song in the world that is not there and within the size of around 1MB.
Coming to the looks, I owe a yellow one and it is like wow! the frozen case really enhances the colour inside and can bear medium wear and tear.
Internet performance is at par on 2G, youtube videos play like a cream.
Realtime notifications since the messaging apps like facebook,whatsapp, line, wechat etc have an option to run in the background. But having to many can make the phone sluggish.
With this price point it is best one to fit your packet.

"So often I have heard my friends claiming that their phones offer what should be called 'height of browsing experience". But what was that? I was yet to experience it. I used to snub them or laugh in my sleeve as I thought a cell was never the right platform to surf on. Now I have realized that I was completely wrong.
Nokia Asha 502 has forced me to change my view about cellular browsing. For me, the highlight of Nokia Xpress Browser is its high speed. It feels very irritating when I have to wait for long after typing URL and hitting enter. But I never had that worst experience on this Asha version. It not only lets me browse fast but also saves data. So I don't have to sacrifice a lot of data to experience fast and quality browsing. If and whenever I need new information and trending content, I make a good use of Nokia Xpress Now app and everything is plated within a minute.
Asha 502 is a pure nugget of 'beauty and bold'. Its build quality is 'great' in a word and I am sure, mine will continue batting for years to come. It is portable (weighs only 100gm). For me, the most fascinating part of its design is its uniqueness. It is just like a one-piece beauty and I can't remember any old or new model, the style of which it has imitated. Asha 502 is encased in a clear-cut shell and I guess, it is done to increase durability of the device.
Dual SIM offer adds a smart character to Asha 502. It gives me freedom to swap SIM if it proves a saving on my cost. Settings of five SIMs are memorized by the handset, so SIM changing never becomes an issue for me. With digital zoom and 32mm focal length, the 5MP camera of this Asha version has taught me that capturing excellence is not always difficult and I can do it too with a little help of built-in apps. Image quality is superb and with other embedded advanced add-ons, I can take liberty with my clicks. And with just one touch on homescreen, I am ready to shoot. Asha 502 also gives me an option to post those photos on Facebook.
More apps and more add-ons – that is what my Asha 502 is all about. There are several built-in apps and for the rest which need a download, the interface provides a good support. Fastlane is one such embedded app that features multi-tasking activity. In addition to showing my recent posts, updates, messages on FB, comments on Twitter as well as engagement with other multimedia apps, Fastlane also allows me to directly dash off messages and play with music playback without even requiring me to collect support from the music app.
I do think, Nokia has played well with power management division. Battery capacity of 1010 mAh offers standby time for 24 days. Maximum audio playback time extends to 42.3 hours whereas optimum video playback time is 12 hours. I get talk time of 13.7 hours and net browsing experience for long 16.8 hours.

Rated 2 out of 5 by CBSk63 Best to avoid this product
Multiple selection of messages to delete is not available. Some worst preloaded games are not deleted. Apps are very very limited in Nokia Store as online download facility only available. Sometimes mobile hangs at short period. Remove and Insert a secondary SIM while mobile power is in ON have some coverage problems then Insert after mobile power OFF. Charge complete notification not available. After some time of Screen lock the WiFi was disconnected automatically.
Try Nokia X or Sony E dual by spending little more money which are worth to buy.

Hydroponic Tomato Plant Set Back by FAA
They are trying to grow hydroponic tomatoes in Ocala, which would bring along about 400 jobs.
But the proposal faced a set back during a special City meeting because of FAA regulations.
The huge greenhouses would be built on Ocala International Airport's property. The FAA still has to grant approval since they provide funding to the City for airport-related improvements. But they may take months to give their approval.
Still, Marc Mondell with the City's Municipal Development told TV20 the deal is still very much alive.
"We're working very hard to try to achieve the FAA approvals that we need as quickly as possible," Mondell said. "And so we're confidant in working towards making sure that the company still stays and considers Ocala as their primary choice."
American Fresh Farms wanted to begin growing hydroponic tomatoes in Ocala by the end if this year.

I cut the top off a yucca tree that was grown in the ground outdoors for 2 years. Per instructions from the web, I let the stump sit around for 1 week to 'callous'. I also waxed the top end at the time of the cutting. I put this into a container with potting mix and sand mixed in. I covered the entire thing with a plastic bag and put it in a moderately lit area, with moist sand.
It's been two weeks, and I found that this is the breeding ground for the fungus gnats I've been seeing.
Follow-Up Postings:
Actually, I brought the stump back indoors because it's getting cold out. Let me try the picture again. Hopefully it's embedded: http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k281/undaC/yuccastump.jpg |

i've rooted yucca elephantipes in this manner, but i didnt' cover it with a plastic bag. actually i never paid much attention to it. Just gave it a little water every now and then and it eventually took off. |
5 weeks now, still nothing from my Yucca stump! Am I being impatient? I'm considering chopping up the stump to try to grow multiple little plants. |
- Posted by mr_subjunctive 5 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 23, 08 at 17:58
You're being impatient. Probably. It needs a lot of light, soil that dries out pretty thoroughly between waterings (you are letting it dry out some, right?), and time. Something should be happening soonish, though it's possible that the cooler temperatures you mention might have slowed the process down. I wouldn't give up on it until you hit some combination of mid-May (or later), mushy canes, and unpleasant smells. As for the fungus gnats, they will go away on their own if the soil is dry enough for long enough. They're not especially dangerous to the plant, or to any of your other plants. |
Thanks subjunctive. It's been outside for 3 weeks now after being indoors for 2 weeks. The weather is warm here now in zone 10. I've sprayed everything for the fungus gnats. That along with fly paper has controlled things for the most part. I am letting the soil dry between waterings. The cane is nice and firm. I'll just sit and wait. |
It's been around 3 months and I haven't seen any sign of life from my yucca stump. It still looks exactly like the picture above, reposted here. No signs of rot either. Looks and feels like a healthy stump, it's just not doing anything. The original in-ground trunk from where it came has re-sprouted all over the place. Any chance the wax capping has retarded the growth? As an aside, a bug spray I used to get rid of fungus gnats stopped growth of all my actively growing plants for at least 2 weeks. Just stopped the growth dead in its tracks. They have since recovered. |
- Posted by mr_subjunctive 5 (My Page) on Mon, May 26, 08 at 15:25
It's probably fine. I doubt the wax has done anything to slow it down. So long as it's not rotted out, which you said it hadn't, it's probably just being slow to come around. |
Yaay!!! After 4 full months (yes 16 weeks) almost to the day, I went out to look at the yucca stump, until now an eyesore, and found the first sprout!! If you plan on doing this, be verrrrrrry patient. Expect 1/3 of a year!! I don't know, but suspect it would have been faster to get new plants if I had chopped up pieces each with an eye and layed them sideways on dirt. |

It might have been, but probably it wouldn't have been very much faster. Congratulations. 'Course, now you get to wait for the sprouts to develop into something that's not an eyesore. Have fun with that. :^) |
It probably spent all this time growing roots. Nice to know it finally took off. Congrats! |

epipren, you say "I don't know, but suspect it would have been faster to get new plants if I had chopped up pieces each with an eye and layed them sideways on dirt." What is meant by this? |

Well the next if you really want to speed things up. Take a bucket of water place a small fish tank heater and a thermometer adjust fish tank heater until the water stays at 85 to 90 degrees then add a small/large fish tank aerator. The heat will speed up the rooting process and the aerator will ensure that there is enough oxygen dissolved into the water. Don't forget to change the water every 3 days. PS The aerator (fish tank air pump attached via tubing to air stone) is essential because warm water holds less dissolved oxygen than cool water. |

How is you Yucca doing these days? In trying to uproot mine, I accidentally snapped the top off. So, I just put it in the ground. I also added some Osmocote Outdoor & Indoor Smart-Release Plant Food. According to my local nursery, it will be just fine since it is a drought tolerant plant. Though, she did recommend to wait til the fall or spring before transplanting anymore. |

College of Law › About the College of Law › News, Events, and Multimedia › News › TU Chapter President Elected to National Post With Student Bar Association
Thursday, August 14, 2003
Published on 8/14/03
Matt David, president of the University of Tulsa College of Law Student Bar Association (SBA), was elected national vice chair of SBA at the American Bar Association convention in San Francisco this week. David defeated four other candidates for the only vacant SBA position.
"This is dream come true for a political guru who plans to run for national office someday," he said. Last year, David became the only second-year law student to become SBA president at TU, and this year became the first in TU history to win a second term.
SBAs represent law student bodies to law school administrations. As national vice chair, David will use his experience as TU chapter president to help all SBA presidents. "I will work with individual schools to solve problems at the local level while acting as an advocate and advancing policy that will benefit SBAs at the national level," he said.
"Matt has been an involved student since the day he arrived at the law school," said TU Law School Dean Martin H. Belsky. "He broke precedent to run for SBA president in his first year – and, more significantly, he won."
David believes in the importance of both representing his constituency and acting as liaison to the administration. "Dean Belsky actually listens and acts accordingly," David said. "It's important that we get our voices heard."
One of his objectives as national vice chair will be to bridge the gap between the SBA and ABA (American Bar Association) students. "At the majority of schools, they exist as two separate organizations," David said. "At the national level, they merge into one more effective body. I hope to achieve a similar result at the local level."

"I have made 2 batches in the past 2 weeks. I make my own tomato salsa receipe but this is a really nice change. I found the first batch too sweet for my liking which is just me so the second I cut the sugar to a 1/2 cup and added an extra 1/2 tbs of hot peppers which made it perfect for me. It is nice and thick and chunky! I dont even like cum..."
"Absolutely wonderful!!!! This dish had so much flavour and it wasnt a lot of work either. DH loved it and complimented 3 times during the meal. I did have some minor changes .... one due to a mombo zucchini that was a foot long and as round as a softball for the record this recipe stuffed it perfectly! I used mild italian sausage in place of po..."
"Fabulous! I had never cooked a pork tenderloin before but they were on sale so I picked one up, came home and found this recipe. Tender and so much flavour I didnt even need anything on my meat."
"Mom found this on here for me, yummy! Nice falvour and perfectly cooked. First time making this type of fish but turned out great! Could deffinitely be used on many other kinds, especially salmon."
"Excellent! Been making this a few years now and forgot to rate (SORRY), I make as directed but often use beef bouillon and water instead of consume and sometimes add some soya sause and garlic. The nutmeg makes this dish. Always use fresh mushrooms and sometimes use different kinds. Have on egg noodle. Oh and making to tonight again."
"So fattening and Sooooooo GOOOODDDDD!!!!!Made this for 2 Christmas meals and everyone loved it. Even my healthy eating Uncle seemed to care less of the butter and cheese because it was so worth it! I even had to give the recipe to the host to make at her in-laws dinner the next day."
"This looked like a lot of work to make but it really is quite simple and fast. This is a wonderful mean in itself. I grilled mine since I dont have an oven and did so on a teflon gas grill for 20 min on med-low. A HIT!"
"I thought this was really good, the broccoli and tomatoes are a nice addition and a nice change form your every day mac salad, I normally use cucumbers in mine. I dont know where the other posters lack of flavour came from. I did add pepper because I love it but the paprkia was a spicy paprkia so maybe that is why. I also used dijon mustard."
"Yummy is right, made this as directed and used it to baste my short loin steaks once while grilling then some on top while serving. Also used it on my zuccini. One of those amazingly simple recipes with more flavour that your would think there could be. Letting the mixture sit really makes the difference."
"YUMMY! I couldnt decide what type of dip to make but you cant go wrong with crab, artichoke and spinach (all three in one!). Made this for a reunion and it was a hit. I fogot to turn the crockpot on though but for the record you can microwave the dip for 3 min, stir well and put back in the crockpot for 30 min to be ready on time."

Sure, it's only one in a long string of questions surrounding "Lost" -- but what happened to Dominic Monaghan's foot?!We got him limping around Beverly Hills with a boot on his left hoofer -- where Dominic said he busted it surfing in Manhattan Beach.Monaghan's got surgery lined up for next week.
Farley: 1740 days ago
I IMPLORE you to please refer to Dominic as Star of FLASH FORWARD. I love weird Sci-fi shows and they're planning on cancelling it. It's really starting to get good and it's still only in it's first season so please! give it a break and give it some Publicity!
Flash Forward on ABC Thursday's @ 9pm!!!
Up until this point - the whole planet has blacked out - save for a few people who were aware of a little bling that saved their consciousness from leaping forward in time.
The blackout was a mishap..but who is really at fault? Is this a global conspiracy or a group of uber-brilliant men who have a personal plot?
I don't work for ABC even though it looks like I do.. I just really like Flash Forward and I'd be really ticked off if they cancelled it. Sorta like CBS cancelled Jericho. Another show that had good potential but got cancelled before it's first season finale...and then recancelled after a 7 episode season two. Which only happened after Fans forced them to in a protest.
They never meant to continue the series..they just figured they'd cap it off and make the fans THINK they control what's on the air.

Among the more striking pieces of theater history held at the Folger is this faded but still-regal coat worn by Edwin Booth when he played Richard III. The son of the well-known tragedian Junius Brutus Booth, Edwin took New York by storm in 1857 and remained a dramatic force until his retirement in 1891. Several of his costumes are housed at the Folger.
During the 1864–65 season, Booth secured his place at the top of America's theatrical world by playing Hamlet one hundred nights in a row at the Winter Garden, a remarkable feat at a time when most plays were performed for only one or two weeks. Less than a month later, he and the nation were stunned by the news that his younger brother John Wilkes Booth, also an actor, had assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Briefly, Edwin Booth went into seclusion. But he returned in time to new triumphs, establishing Booth's Theatre in New York (a theatrical success, though a financial disaster) and founding the Players Club in the same city.
In keeping with his era's interest in historical accuracy, Edwin Booth derived many of his costumes from the reference works of James Robinson Planché. Planché was almost certainly the source for this garment, which incorporates the royal coat of arms of Richard's day—British lions quartered with French fleurs-de-lis—and has a padded shoulder to indicate Richard's identity as a hunchback. As shown in this hand-colored engraving from 1872, one of twelve showing Booth in various costumes, the actor wore it over stage armor in the final scenes at Bosworth Field.

Asante Statues
The Asante, members of a large complex of Akan peoples in southeast Ivory Coast and southern Ghana, are known for their royal arts as well as for goldweights, and for the most famous of all Akan sculptures, the small female figures called Akua'ba. These dolls are consecrated by priests, and are carried by girls and women and treated like a real child. They are used to promote their ability to conceive and ensure the beauty of their offspring. Thus, the figures symbolize both fertility and the Asante ideal of beauty. This figure is a modern variation of the Akua'ba, and it is made with wood, brass, and detailed bead work. The female figure has the Adinkra symbol of "Gye Nyame" stamped into the brass forehead. This symbol means literally "Except for God", which is meant to communicate the supremacy of god. The male figure has two Adinkra symbols of "Sankofa" stamped into the brass forehead. This symbol means literally "Return and get it", which means to go back and learn from one's mistakes, and the importance of learning from the past. The price quoted is per each statue. -Robbins/Nooter

The University appreciates that moving away from home can be a daunting prospect and therefore provides a priority for all students in their first year of study for accommodation, as long as applications are received by the advertised date. Priority extends to one offer of accommodation.
All first year students, from any location, will normally be allocated a single study bedroom in a University residence (this may be on or off campus), although in times of high demand students may be required to share a twin room.
Applications should be made online via the university portal and full instructions will be sent from the Student Recruitment and Admissions Team once your place to study is unconditional firm.
New Undergraduate Nurses
If you are coming to Stirling in September 2014 to commence a nursing course, your course starts a week earlier than the majority of other new students. Accommodation is available to you for this week so your arrival will be Saturday 30 August 2014.
For 2014/15 the property that will be available is Union Street Development, located off campus in the city of Stirling. This property is ideally located for nursing students as it gives easier access to Forth Valley Royal Hospital, as well as giving parking should students require it.
Nursing students are able to apply for the other first year properties, however, you should note that entry to these is on Saturday 13 September 2014.
Start Date | End Date | |
37 weeks | 13 September 2014 | 30 May 2015 |
39 weeks | 30 August 2014 | 30 May 2015 |
These dates indicate your contract period, so please ensure you arrange your travel plans accordingly.
All accommodation for new undergraduates is offered on a 37/39 week let basis for session 2014/15, meaning that students can continue to occupy their rooms over the Christmas vacation period.
If specified accommodation is full, we will offer alternative University accommodation. If all University accommodation is fully booked, we can provide information on private rentals within Stirling.
On-campus residences are occupied predominantly by students in their first year of study and therefore mature students may wish to contact Accommodation Services for alternative options.
First Year students are encouraged to become involved in the Social Committees. These committees are responsible, with the Accommodation Liaison Students, for organising social events for the residents. Involvement is extremely fulfilling, and although the work never exceeds a few hours a week, you can gain invaluable experience in representing students, team working and organising events.

Internships provide students with the opportunity to move between the academic setting of the classroom and the applied setting of an agency, organization or business. The internship provides the student with meaningful opportunities, under the supervision of a representative of the agency, to assist the agency in its mission.
Internships in Sociology, Sociology/Social Work and Criminology are designed to extend students' learning opportunities beyond the traditional classroom setting. The primary goal is for students to gain hands-on experience in professional work environments related to their academic and career interests. Internships in criminal justice, human services, businesses and community contexts also provide students with practical experience and career and networking opportunities. Internships are often a key step in becoming familiar with job requirements and obtaining a job upon graduation.
Our internship experience is structured to benefit both the student intern as well as the sponsoring organization. The Department of Sociology and Criminology has established the following evaluation criteria for internship students and their evaluators:
The internship needs to provide the student with a broad overview of the organization. In addition, the student should gain a clear understanding of what a particular bachelor degree career field or occupation entails. The student should have the opportunity to engage in projects and activities at a professional level. The focus of the internship is for the student to learn about the organization and develop new skills and knowledge.
An internship should provide the student with hands-on experience and a good sense of what an actual job in the organization will be like. The relationship between the internship experience and the knowledge and skills that the student has gained through their major course is emphasized. The student brings a set of skills and a knowledge base to the internship experience that allows them to help the organization meet its goals as they engage in various activities at the internship site. Through the internship experience, the student also has an opportunity to refine and further develop their skills and to deepen their understanding of the concepts and theories they are learning in the classroom.
It is important that student interns be able to observe professionals in their particular field to grasp what the occupation will really be like. We encourage interns to participate in staff meetings and to attend presentations and meetings with clients when appropriate. Additionally, interns should have the ability to talk to and interact with professionals at the internship site bout their respective jobs and career paths.
The students should leave the internship with a new set of skills or improvements in their current skill set. We encourage the student to concentrate on the following areas:
Butler students are encouraged to identify internships that are related to their career interests and goals and to participate in experiences that will expand their knowledge base and expose them to diversity and new ways of thinking. Butler sociology and criminology students have completed internships in a wide variety of organizations, agencies, and businesses, including
View a more complete list of recent internship sites.
Students in the Department of Sociology and Criminology are required to complete either a three-credit-hour internship (SO484) or a service-learning course. We also offer a six-credit-hour internship (SO485) for interested students (only three credit hours will count toward the major requirements). Students must complete an internship that is related to their specific major (sociology, sociology/social work or criminology) and all internship sites must be approved by the department prior to enrollment. Student performance is evaluated both by a faculty member (academic requirements) and by the on-site supervisor (internship site/job requirements).
Specific Requirements Include:
For more information about the specific requirements for an internship, please pick up a copy of the internship packet from the Sociology and Criminology Office (JH375-B) and meet with your advisor.
Students are responsible for working, in consultation with their advisor, on finding an appropriate internship site, applying for the internship, and identifying a full-time faculty member to serve as their faculty supervisor.
There are several resources available for identifying possible internship sites:

Back in early 2012, if you would've said the name "Fuhu" to me, I would've paid no mind to your gibberish and went on about my business. Then in June I got my hands on the nabi 2 – a tablet designed specifically for children – and it put Fuhu on the map in a big way (for me, at least). For $200, the nabi 2 was (and still is) a seriously fantastic piece of hardware for the child in your life.
It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the Nabi 2 tablet for kids. As a father, I was extremely impressed with its vast suite of educational software, ease of use, and overall solid build quality when I reviewed it. The one major drawback of the Nabi 2 is that it's not really meant for pre-school-age children. Sure, it could help give your little little one a headstart, but $200 is a bit much to shell out when they may not even start using the device until the ripe-old age of five.

Market Outlook
The Chinese government has used the last few years to begin transitioning their economy from an export-led to domestic consumer fueled model. Throughout this period, the logistics sector has been undergoing perhaps the largest transition of all, as it shifts from international-focused infrastructure, technology, and employee training to a domestic-focused market. Speeding this transition is the boom of online ecommerce companies like Alibaba's Taobao, JD, and Yihaodian.
China's ecommerce sales equaled 5.66 trillion yuan ($912 billion) for the first half of 2014, a 30.1% increase year-on-year. Of total sales, 1.1 trillion yuan ($176 billion) was in B2C deals, up 33.4% year-on-year. Ecommerce sales in this period accounted for 8.4% of the nation's overall retail sales.
China's logistics market has begun to respond in turn. The rapid transition from high volume, low frequency manufacturing based cargo transport to low volume, high frequency consumer good transport has left most state-owned firms behind. Firms like Cosco Container Lines and Sinotrans are struggling to maintain profitability and have recently been forced to close regional offices in the US and issue stock, respectively.
Conversely, more specialized and generally privately owned courier companies have developed to satisfy consumer needs. Companies like EMS, S.F. Express, and Shentong Express have begun conquering the consumer driven market and drawn investment both from within and outside of China. Citic Capital recently purchased a 25% stake in S.F. Express and Carlyle Group has invested in seventeen warehouses that will be rented to companies operating in the ecommerce sector.
Rise of the Express Courier
Company | Market Share |
S.F. Express | 18% |
Shentong Express | 12% |
Yuantong Express |
9% |
Zhongtang Express | 9% |
Huitong Express | 9% |
According to the State Post Bureau, the express delivery market in China reported revenues of 89.8 billion yuan ($14.5 billion) in the first half of 2014. This is an increase of 42.5% year-on-year. The express delivery now constitutes nearly 60% of the nation's mail sector revenues.
Barriers to Entry
Due to government restrictions on foreign involvement in some areas of delivery services, foreign firms' participation in the express courier market is subject to some barriers. Most noticeable among these restrictions is the ruling against a foreign entity being the majority owner of a transport airplane company, heavily guarded rail and water transport sectors, and a completely restricted post sector. However, these restrictions should not fully extinguish the hopes of a foreign express delivery firm.
While the market may appear near impossible to enter via green field investment, joint venture and acquisition both have the potential to offer high returns.
Merger and Acquisition Rationale
Although the fastest growing segment of express deliveries is that which is within the same city, the largest segment by total revenue is that which is between cities. Unfortunately, due to Chinese foreign investment restrictions the most efficient methods of intercity transport are off limits to foreign express delivery firms operating in China. Therefore, it seems foreign express transport firms' green field ambitions are limited to either the localized and highly competitive same city delivery market, or the slower growing international delivery market.
A closer inspection of the domestic market leaders indicates a lack of express delivery management systems, technology, and capital. Only EMS, SF Express, and Yuantong Express fully own cargo aircraft. The other major players have chartered planes, although they risk losing significant market share as the two leaders continue to expand their fleet. SF Express plans to purchase eleven more planes by the end of 2015 and China Postal Airlines, owned by EMS, signed a contract for five more converted Boeing freighters in September of 2013.
In an attempt to keep the industry responsible to a certain level of customer satisfaction, the State Postal Bureau publishes a monthly listing of complaints filed against express delivery organizations. The speed with which the express delivery sector has developed in China has left it sorely lacking for proper management and customer service.
Company | Complaints | Packages Delayed | Packages Lost | Dissatisfied with Service |
SF Express | 6.68% | 1.64% | 0.53% | 2.63% |
Shentong Express | 28.01% | 6.71% | 5.14% | 11.59% |
Yuantong Express | 6.17% | 1.37% | 1.52% | 2.30% |
Zhongtong Express | 9.72% | 1.42% | 1.99% | 4.35% |
Huitong Express | 16.19% | 5.69% | 3.42% | 5.10% |
Lastly, in order to keep up with the two market leaders the other express delivery firms require capital investment. EMS is a state-owned entity and its website boasts capital reserves of 8 billion yuan, the same amount that Citic Capital, Oriza Holdings, and China Merchant's Group recently invested in SF Express.
All three problems facing the lesser players can be resolved through foreign investment in the form of either a joint venture or acquisition. Foreign companies have been competing in Europe and the US express delivery markets for fifteen or more years. These companies have developed the management structure and warehouse and logistics technology that Chinese firms desire. In return, Chinese firms have local expertise, established distribution channels, brand recognition, and permission to use necessary transport channels for success in the express delivery industry.
Exit Opportunities
Foreign firms may be wary of entering a foreign investment sensitive industry during a period of economic transition. However, the current economic situation offers various potential exit opportunities. Recent stock market successes in the Hang Seng, NASDAQ, and New York Stock Exchange have created potentially lucrative IPO markets. Opportunities for a successful exit also exist in the private equity sector as Citic Capital, Oriza Holdings, China Merchant's Group, and Carlyle Group's recent investments indicate. Lastly, given that each of these companies is competitive evidenced by all currently holding more than eight percent market share, each would be able to successfully continue operations if forced to spin-off.
In summary, it appears that the current Chinese express delivery market is primed for foreign investment in the form of joint ventures or acquisitions. The primary reason for foreign firms to consider these two forms of market entry instead of green field investment is the strict government control over key aspects of the industry. The key reasons for Chinese firms to consider partnering or being purchased by foreign companies are foreign companies have considerable expertise in creating effective management structures within the industry, foreign firms have access to advanced warehouse and logistics technology that can help to make the delivery process more effective and increase margins, and foreign firms have excess capital that Chinese firms will need as competition increases and market share becomes more concentrated.

i don't see you around anymore. i wish i would have just said hello when you were right there, but i didn't. you tried to get my attention, and the thing is, you did. i promised myself i'd say something next time, but next time just never happened. i don't even know your name, but i can't seem to forget your face. i regret not having the opportunity to let you know what i was really thinking, how much i wanted to get to know you. for now you will remain a beautiful stranger, who i hope to see around again and finally get that chance to say hello!

Bloody hell...why didn't you make a move? It's everything in your mind, in this way...it's just virtual reality. Please, wake up...the beautiful stranger is waiting for you, sleeping beauty!;)
Feb 4, 2013 at 7:29 pm
Unfortunately, our coincidence meetings have become rare. I wasn't sure you were interested. Don't be afraid to talk to me or just look into my eyes and smile. I sure will respond!
Feb 4, 2013 at 7:36 pm
What does this beautiful stranger look like?
Feb 4, 2013 at 10:58 pm
I swear this is for me...
Feb 5, 2013 at 7:14 am
and if it is, you are blonde.
Feb 5, 2013 at 8:19 am
..if this sounds like it might be you.
Feb 5, 2013 at 11:30 am
Your post is pretty vague, so I'm left to think that this is for me as well. If you are who I'm thinking of, then the last time I saw you was on the bus almost a month ago. If not, then I guess I have to continue spending my days still hoping to run into you... Sigh
Feb 5, 2013 at 12:50 pm
but if you are talking about a bus in the city, i normally run into this person elsewhere. i do go over to van once in a while, but perhaps my story just simply sounds familiar. i hope this clears it up a bit for you.
Feb 5, 2013 at 2:05 pm
Aww, no, certainly this isn't my situation. I have always seen this man in my East Van neighbourhood, and it was a city bus when I last saw him. I have actually talked to him at my work a couple times a few months ago, but was too self conscious to express my interest in front of my coworkers. I really hope you find who you're looking for, and make a move the next time if and when you see her dammit! And I vow to do the same!
Feb 5, 2013 at 2:22 pm
..it's a he. all the best to you in seeing him again. :)
Feb 5, 2013 at 8:05 pm
...I really can't understand why people here don't make a simple move when it's the right time...maybe to have a change to post a confession...let's play bloody hide and seek, so!
Feb 5, 2013 at 10:40 pm
You don't know what you've got .... Till it's gone.
Feb 7, 2013 at 4:56 pm
if its for me,iwill be back first week of april,we can walk the drive and have coffee at my favorite spot,or go to gym but please say hola i do not bite i may give a smile in return and pay for the coffee.

The casting process is underway for "Star Wars: Episode VII," the next chapter in the saga that will be brought to you by director J.J. Abrams. The breakdown of characters they are casting leaked out yesterday (thank you, interns!), so take a look and try to guess who might be who:
A young man aged between 20 and 25, witty and smart, fit but not classically handsome,
Man in late twenties, also fit, but this one is handsome and confident.
Late teenage girl, independent, good sense of humour, also… physically fit .
Second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and physically fit.
Man in his forties, obviously physically fit, this one is a military type.
A man of around thirty or so, this one is an intellectual type.
Finally, a guy aged around seventy, strong opinions and tough.
Okay, two obvious notes: the guy around 70 isn't supposed to be Han Solo, is it? Because I was under the impression that Harrison Ford was in. They wouldn't dare recast Han Solo. They better not.
The other is that, well, if you're not "physically fit," you're out of luck.
Oh, and just in case it's not clear, if you really, really love Star Wars, and are convinced that you are perfect for one of those roles, forget it, unless you also happen to be with a major agency. They're not going to comb community theaters and high schools to cast these roles.
