This paper develops an appreciative method for the management and regulation of integrative research. It distinguishes product from process and emphasizes the value of processes. In human systems, historical events (states) sometimes change the balance of probabilities so that processes are never the same again. Many historical events are manifest as changing beliefs that lead to new behaviours. This irreversible change (innovation) often begins with an increase in the epistemic openness or appreciative setting of communities. As knowledge is exploited, however, appreciative settings become fixed; beliefs are 'locked-in' or reified and recognizable epistemic communities form. Integrative research (i) involves two or more epistemic communities, often with mutually irreconcilable beliefs and (ii) requires small, well-managed, ephemeral groups and sympathetic regulation. Institutional constraints are explored with reference to national and supranational research agencies and their practices. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

When cinematographer Ofer Rozenman and his girlfriend visited New York last month, he decided to chronicle their trip with a short film highlighting their favorite places around the city -- including Times Square, Broadway, the Memorial at Ground Zero, a concert at Barclays Center and restaurants such as The Meatball Shop. He took 6,000 images and edited them together into this stop motion video.
"During September '13 me and my girlfriend visited (again) our favorite city in the world - NYC. Instead of taking one still of every place we've been at, we took 50, in order to make a stop motion video out of it. We've ended up with over 140GB and 6K images," wrote Rozenman on Vimeo, where he posted the final film. Rozenman notes that he shot the film using a Sony RX1 and didn't have time for a tripod.

This is the only means she has for helping her family. She describes herself as a person who has to work hard every single day.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Bosses Urged to Snap Up Talent
Byline: HUGO DUNCAN
MANUFACTURERS in North Wales were last night urged to hunt down and nurture local talent before it disappears.
A leading academic appealed to bosses to take advantage of the wide variety of innovative designs being developed by his students.
John Hughes, design and technology director at the University of Wales,Bangor, spoke out ahead of next month's Tomorrow's Wales exhibition. He urged industry bosses to wake up to the fact that local talent was disappearing out of the North Wales economy and over the border into England.

Is there any way to determine if a page on the web is a holding page? This is because I need to determine if any of curl recieved pages are unavailable due to the domain expiring as part of my error handling.

Is the only way to search for specific phrases using strpos() in PHP?
Any help would be appreciated!

Josh Mathews paying off
While it is still pretty early on, it appears that the return on investment for Josh Mathews has been a rather good one for TNA. He is doing a tremendous job of being a one man commentating team after the departure of Taz. The company might have been in a bind had it just been Mike Tenay out there by himself. While he is one of the most knowledgeable guys to ever do the job, Tenay is a guy that works much better when there is a color commentator.
