Arbejds- og ledelsesforhold i ny-økonomiske virksomhederLarsen, Bøje (København, 2006)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Organisations- og ledelsesformerne er studeret i 5 "ny-økonomiske" virksomheder, der formodes at illustrere fremtidens organisationsformer. Virksomhederne er udvalgt, fordi de er præget af relativt højt tempo og tidskrav, fleksibel organisation og selvledelse, en sammenglidning mellem ude og inde, højtuddannede unge medarbejdere og viden som produktionsfaktor. I praksis viser det sig, at der er højt tempo - og en noget kaotisk dagligdag, og at de fungerer i et miljø med meget viden - men med endnu mere uvidenhed. Fleksibiliteten, selvledelsen og sammenglidningen mellem ude og inde er nok større end i "normale" industrivirksomheder, men den er absolut set begrænset. Årsagerne til denne kun "moderate revolution" af organisationsformerne diskuteres: Er det fordi klassisk organisation og social nærkontakt er nødvendig i den nye økonomi, eller er det manglende fantasi og tryghedsbehov? Begge muligheder holdes åbne. Endelig drøftes, om udviklingen er på vej til at realisere en utopi eller dystopi om fremtidens arbejdsplads. Væsentlige dystopiske træk fremhæves.

Dependency-based machine translation and parallel parsing without the projectivity and edge-factoring assumptionsA white paperBuch-Kromann, Matthias (København, 2007)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In this white paper, we review the theoretical evidence about the computational efficiency of dependency parsing and machine translation without the widely used, but linguistically questionable assumptions about projectivity and edge-factoring. On the basis of the heuristic local optimality parser proposed by (Buch-Kromann, 2006), we propose a common architecture for monolingual parsing, parallel parsing, and translation that does not make these assumptions. Finally, we describe the elementary repair operations in the model, and argue that the model is potentially interesting as a model of human translation. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6846

Co-existence of institutional logics in the recorded music industrySigurdardottir, Margrét Sigrún (Frederiksberg, 2010)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The concept of institutional logics, notably a choice between multiple logics, has been offered as a foundation to theoretically explain heterogeneity of organisation. The thesis focuses on how this heterogeneity of organisation is possible through a study of how decision makers deal with conflicting yet coexisting logics in their every day work. The field chosen for the empirical study is the recorded music industry, where two opposing logics, the artistic and the commercial, necessarily co‐exist. Through semi‐structured interviews, decision makers in the recorded music industry in the UK were asked about their work processes. Their descriptions revealed two very different ways of acting based on either the artistic logic or the commercial logic. The study further shows that even if there were some attempts to take both logics into account, all the respondents emphasised one logic over the other, but not the same logic, leading to the established major/independent duality in the structure of the field.

Resume: The ambiguity in existing empirical work with respect to effects of deposit insurance schemes on banks' risk-taking can be resolved if it is recognized that absence of deposit insurance is rarely credible and that the credibility of non-insurance can be enhanced by explicit deposit insurance schemes. We show that under reasonable conditions for effects on risk-taking of creditor protection in banking, and for effects on credibility of non-insurance of explicit coverage of deposit insurance schemes, there exists a partial level of coverage that maximizes market discipline and minimizes moral hazard incentives for risk-taking in banking. Using both the occurrence of banking crises and non-performing loans in the banking sector as proxies for excessive risk-taking the results strongly support this hypothesis in industrial and emerging market economies. Policy recommendations on the country level require analyses of institutional factors affecting the credibility of non-insurance. In particular, the implementation of effective distress resolution procedures for banks would allow governments to reduce explicit deposit insurance coverage and, thereby, to strengthen market discipline.

Resume: This thesis is about designing technology that supports and enhances learning in and for the workplace. This is realized through an e-training system of web lectures. Designing e-training means designing for interaction in a user friendly way while accommodating for the pedagogical and instructional strategies that are inherent in learning systems. The objective of this thesis is to inform how technology can be designed to support workplace training by acknowledging the context demands of every day work. The context for this thesis is the government authority in Sweden called the county administration. The research in this thesis follows the approach of design science research and design principles for e-training through web lectures emerged in collaboration with members of the county administration through four design cycles of problem awareness: conceptual suggestion, system development, and evaluation. The perspective on learning adopts that of socio-cultural learning since it acknowledges the importance of context by stressing the relationship between learning and the context in which the learning occurs. A framework called authentic e-learning with nine core design principles was chosen as a kernel theory. The first version of the web lecture application was based on the unchanged design principles of authentic e-learning. The design principles were then evaluated in the context of a work place and after four design cycles some of the original design principles was still unaltered, some was adapted to the conditions of work place learning and new principles emerged from the evaluation process. The thesis concludes with eight design principles for e-training through web lectures. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9478

Resume: Ubiquitous and pervasive computing is fundamentally transforming product categories such as music, movies, and books and the associated practices of product searching, ordering, and buying. This paper contributes to theory and practice of digital payments by conducting a design science inquiry into the mobile phone wallet (m-wallet). Four different user groups, including young teenagers, young adults, mothers and businessmen, have been involved in the process of identifying, developing and evaluating functional and design properties of m-wallets. Interviews and formative usability evaluations provided data for the construction of a conceptual model in the form of sketches followed by a functional model in the form of low-fidelity mockups. During the design phases, knowledge was gained on what properties the users would like the m-wallet to embody. The identified properties have been clustered as 'Functional properties' and 'Design properties', which are theoretical contributions to the on-going research on m-wallets. One of the findings from our design science inquiry into m-wallets is that everyday life contexts require that evaluation criteria have to be expanded beyond "functionality, completeness, consistency, accuracy, performance, reliability, usability, fit with the organization, and other relevant quality attributes" [12] that are used within current design science work.

Resume: The aim of this paper is to show in what way football clubs in smaller leagues with limited capacity utilisation can increase their per-game revenue by increasing the attendance frequency. A sequential mixed method research design was employed, involving both qualitative and quantitative methods, studying two clubs: Malmö FF in Sweden and FC København in Denmark. In order for the subject clubs to increase the attendance frequency of the spectators, these must be moved towards a higher level of the Psychological Continuum Model. The quantitative phase was comprised of a survey distributed at three separate occasions for each of the subject clubs. Four segments were identified to be of particular interest, two from each of the subject clubs. The two segments defined for Malmö FF were termed Entertainment Seeking Families and the Price Conscious Group of Friends. The two segments defined for FCK were termed Price Sensitive Experience Hunters and Family Focused Fans. It is shown how the two clubs can provide tailored experiences specifically designed towards the identified attendant segments. In doing so, an increased range of psychological associations will be created in the minds of the attendants, thus strengthening the psychological connection, increasing the likelihood of upwards movement in the psychological continuum and rate of attendance.

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

A closer look on the role of design choices in framing coordination and motivationGevoll, Linn (Frederiksberg, 2015)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: The motivation of this study was to explore how the design choices created when developing Performance Management (hereafter PM), produces proposals of how to coordinate and motivate operational employees in performing their tasks, and to which extent they are successful in doing so. PM is often postulated as a management resource in organizing employee contribution to value creation. Here, it is often suggested that carefully designed PM promotes organizational value creation, by facilitating the motivation and coordination of employees' contribution. However, the way in which design choices function to suggest how to define the boundaries of what it means to coordinate and motivate employees in practice is less clear. I therefore set out to study the different design choices made on three central elements in a new operational Performance Management System (PMS hereafter), to explore how these design choices propose ideas of how to coordinate and motivate employees' value creation in daily operations. My study follow the design choices made with regard to leading indicators (e.g. performance measures), performance targets and feedback over a period of three years (2012-2014). I do so, to investigate how design choices made on these three elements play a significant role in assigning specific property to what motivation and coordination of operational employees entails in practice. For example, the study illustrate how the choice to design leading indicators as key behavioral indicators (KBIs hereafter) propose that coordination of employees contribution means to point out what they should do when performing key activities. Detailed accounts such as this, provides rich insight into how design choices suggest distinctive, meaning to how to coordinate and/or motivate employees in their daily operations, which produce the boundaries of desired action.

Resume: This report is a Deliverable (D 6.4) within the EU-InnovatE research project. According to the project's Description of Work (DOW), the aim of this report is to contribute to the development of policy tools supporting end-user integrated and end-user lead sustainability innovations (referred together in our work as the umbrella term Sustainable End-user Innovation - SEI). The authors' task is to "recommend new policy instruments and tools" and "suggest how to optimize existing policies and tools beyond the prevailing information paradigm, including novel instruments encouraging user sustainability innovation". As examples of the latter, the DOW lists user innovation platforms, 'incubators' of companies to support inventive users, regional activities to support user-entrepreneurs, competitions and activities of venture capital funds, pro-bono activities of consulting companies and the like. Through our prior work deliverables, D 6.1 and D 6.2, we identified further policy tools that could be implemented in order to promote SEI - focusing on the barriers and drivers of SEI from a motivational, ability and opportunity perspective. These include, e.g., open source competitions, DIY courses and groups, crowdsourcing and -funding and a myriad of other options (see D 6.1). Based on our observations from a series of interviews with EU and national-level policymakers their recommendations are to primarily focus on firstly, increasing awareness of SEI, secondly, develop flexible funding opportunities for SEI and thirdly, identifying effective mechanisms for diffusion of inventions created by SEI.

Resume: Bonus plans have become a popular tool for compensating managers and employees. While other accounting studies on bonus plans typically focus on earnings management, for example by examining the association between cash bonuses and stock returns or the incentive for management to manage earnings, our study discusses specific issues that are relevant in designing and understanding bonus plans based on financial performance measures. Bonus contracts should be designed so they align the interest of management and owners. In practice, this is far more difficult than it sounds. We discuss issues that require special attention in preparing bonus contracts: Choice of performance measure(s), accounting issues, link between performance and bonus, and bonus threshold. Our study should be of interest to managers, compensation committees, investors and others interested in bonus plans. A proper bonus plan is essential to ascertain that management compensation is closely linked to management's ability to create value. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6740

A Design Science Approach to Interactive Greenhouse Climate Control using Lego Mindstorms for Sensor- Intensive PrototypingUlslev Pedersen, Rasmus; Clemmensen, Torkil (Frederiksberg, 2012)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: In this paper we present a case study of early prototyping work performed within a Danish advanced technology project. We specifically investigate the problems and issues related to throw-away prototypes in sensor-intensive systems. An important criterion is to record and perhaps later reproduce the identified contributions of the throw-away prototypes, and to this end we use the educational version of Lego Mindstorms NXT. To achieve methodological rigor we have used the Design Science Framework by Hevner et. al. It allows us to focus on the prototyping effort (called the design cycle) without letting go of either the relevance or rigor related to the project. We relate the case study to a Human Work Interaction Design (HWID) framework for the use of interactive, sensor-intensive prototypes to develop interactive greenhouse climate management systems. By applying guidelines suggested in design science to the case studied, we identify a number of interactive prototypes that successively address core issues in this particular setting. Finally, the problems and issues pertaining to this setting is presented and identified. The main contribution of this paper is that it, by pointing out problems and issues related throw-away prototyping with sensor-intensive systems, extends the design cycle of the original design science framework. This is determined to be a necessary step in order to address the inherent multi-disciplinarily of sensor-intensive HWID systems. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8601

Naar, Liisa; Våland, Marianne Stang (Frederiksberg, 2014)[Flere oplysninger][Færre oplysninger]
Resume: Increasing interest in 'design thinking' in the fields of management and organization has resulted in a concern with using design-oriented approaches as means to support organizational change and innovation. To this end, conceptual ideas such as Boland and Collopy's 'managing as designing' have aimed at exploring how 'design thinking' can inform managers and the work done in organizational contexts. However, these concepts tend to be discussed theoretically with little grounding in empirical studies of practice that might inform managing according to a 'design thinking' approach. In this paper we look at one attempt at facilitating organizational change through 'design thinking'. The context is the design of a new building for the UTS Business School, Sydney by architect Frank Gehry. User participation was applied to engage stakeholders in ways that would produce valuable input for managers as well as architects. We consider how architectural design and organizational change are constructed and accomplished and to what extent the manager's approach can be considered 'design thinking'. Our findings suggest that while 'design thinking' may be one approach to managing complex change processes, a deeper engagement between designers, managers and users is needed.

Grace (Stimson) Ade
Formerly of Pine River
Grace (Stimson) Ade, 79, passed away April 2, 2013, at Providence Hospital, Everett, Wash.
Grace was born Oct. 1, 1933, in Minneapolis, Minn., the daughter of Lyle and Violet Stimson of Minneapolis and Jenkins, Minn. After a lengthy battle with cancer and days of struggle in ICU, Grace found a peaceful ending in the arms of her beloved husband, Bob, of 52 years and surrounded by her five children. Grace was mother of Robin Ade, Dawn Chaplin, Todd Ade, Rob Ade Sharon Ade and four grandchildren, all of whom survive her and live in Washington.
Grace is also survived by her brother, Carroll Stimson, of Pine River; and sisters, Lyla Tutt and Maxine Mottram, of the Twin Cities. Numerous nieces and nephews live in the Pine River area.
Grace was preceded in death by her sisters, Gloria Norman of Pine River and Nancy Timothy of Portland, Ore.
Her parents lived in Jenkins and her father, Lyle, built a church almost single-handedly on adjacent property where he conducted a brief ministry.
Grace was raised in Minneapolis and attended West High School until the family moved late in her senior year to Pine River, where she graduated in 1951. While working at Minneapolis-Honeywell she met her soon-to-be husband.
They enjoyed a cabin on Rush Lake. Bob and Grace got to know and enjoy a large part of the country through corporate moves while raising their family, including living in Minnesota, New York, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Ohio, Colorado and Virginia. In 1993, Bob and Grace moved to Mukilteo, Wash., to retire in an area where all her children have settled.
Grace and Bob were soul mates in their creative flairs that they expressed through a candle business, "Candles by Grace," in the 1960s and 1970s run from their home "factory" with the kids as employees and later from the 1980s on through the present with self-designed and produced "Kaleidoscopes by Bob and Grace Ade" (www.tinyurl.com/7g2mf2m).
Grace and Bob also had a great love of travel throughout the United States and enjoyed trips to many countries. Grace particularly enjoyed her African Safaris in South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania.
Grace wasn't shy about stating that she felt she had lived a great life! She had a strong interest in health and nutrition publications and it was Grace's wish that her remains be used for scientific research. Her wish was granted as she has been accepted by the University of Washington Medical School. We are certain that she will graduate with honors.
Donations in Grace's honor can be sent to St. Jude Children's Hospital (www.stjude.org) or Standup2cancer.org.
A celebration of her life and memorial service will be held at Mukilteo Presbyterian Church in Mukilteo, Wash., at 4 p.m. Saturday, May 4. Please email email@example.com for details or call Bob at 425-353-6546.

Tom Wujec:
Build a tower, build a team
Tom Wujec presents some surprisingly deep research into the "marshmallow problem" — a simple team-building exercise that involves dry spaghetti, one yard of tape and a marshmallow. Who can build the tallest tower with these ingredients? And why does a surprising group always beat the average?

text: Much has been made this year about the reduction in minutes for the Piston starters. That got me to thinking… "I wonder how many minutes the starters on recent NBA Championship teams have played?" So, here you have it, the average minutes played for the core guys of the last 10 Champs: Well, the minutes played over the last 6 seasons have been around 29-31 minutes. The exception to that was the 2004 Pistons, where starters averaged 34.4 minutes. The 2001 Lakers played the heaviest minutes over the last decade, averaging 35.0 mpg. Okay, the Pistons played 34.4 mpg and still won the 'Ship in 2004, but the last few seasons the minutes increased and it was these "dead legs", of course, that cost them more titles. Well, not so fast. Let's see how the minutes fared since the 2004 run: In Larry Brown's second season, the mpg spiked to an all-time high of 36.3. We all remember, of course, that team narrowly missed a repeat title. In the first two seasons of the Flip Saunders era, the mpg actually dropped an average of one minute per game, resulting in back-to-back ECF losses. Last season the mpg were back down to the exact same level as the '04 Championship season. In 2008, the starter minutes dropped significantly. The 31.7 mpg is eerily close to the 31.9 mpg average of the last 10 NBA Championship teams. What does it all mean? Who knows? Ask me again in 2 months.

Why Tech Systems' Workforce Works So Well
How does Tech Systems ensure that it has the "right people on the bus"? Company CEO Darryl Keeler explains.
By Scott Goldfine · July 31, 2014
July's annual SSI Best of the Best Issue includes 2014 Installer of the Year (Large Company) Runner-Up Tech Systems Inc. (TSI). A leading reason Tech Systems was recognized for excellence was due to its crackerjack staff. Here, CEO Darryl Keeler lends more insight into how the firm ensures it has the "right people on the bus." Be sure to check out my other Tech Systems blog in which Keeler addresses how TSI offers clients guaranteed response times and guaranteed functionality of their systems.
How does Tech Systems evaluate and recruit new employees? What qualities are important?
Darryl Keeler: It depends on the type of employee. Our organizational chart is an upside-down pyramid. As president/owner, I am at the bottom, senior managers are one level above, midlevel managers are above the senior managers, and our technicians and client support staff are at the top. We believe that we are here to serve each other in the same manner we serve our clients. Without the proper support, our field technicians would not be able to deliver the results our clients are expecting. With that said, we hire from a variety of sources … but the one key element to any candidate is if they embrace the FOCUS [For Our Clients' Ultimate Satisfaction] philosophy. We have found that our values are aligned with individuals from all walks of life, but we have found some success in certain areas. Hiring from the military, Air Force and Navy works well for us. When recruiting for industry experience, we use LinkedIn, but in many cases we find good candidates through referrals. We've also been fortunate to add some of our previous clients to our team; individuals with experience as security directors who know first-hand what it's like to be in the shoes of our clients. We are growing and are always looking to add new members to the team that share our passion of service and dedication.
How does TSI make sure its personnel are properly trained?
Keeler: We established an apprenticeship program that allows new hires the ability to see how we do things. We invest heavily in formal and informal training programs. We hire based on the candidate's current abilities as well as their ability and willingness to adapt and learn over time. As technology continues to become more network-centric and complex, it is important that we provide ongoing learning opportunities so we can continue to stay ahead of the curve. We strongly believe in industry credentials. We have implemented an internal program to get all of our sales staff certified as ASIS Certified Protection Professionals. We make sure that IT/network training is done to establish a consistent knowledge base for our field teams. We believe in SIA's Certified Security Project Manager credential for our project managers. We even have staff certified in the IAHSS' [International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety] Certified Healthcare Protection Administrator program.
What do you do to keep its employees motivated and fulfilled?
Keeler: TSI has a culture of progression, where excellence is the expectation and employees are highly valued. TSI awards employees with Star Awards when customers go out of their way to compliment a TSI staff person for their work ethic, results and dedication to service. An Employee Advisory Board was established to create and maintain employee programs to empower employees to grow and make a difference. Some other perks include up to eight hours per month of paid leave is available to employees who wish to spend that time volunteering for a nonprofit organization, and employees can earn extra income by losing weight and keeping weight off over time. Finally, TSI has adopted the Motiv8 policy internally. Motiv8 is a program that demands TSI employees respond to the needs of clients, manufacturers and other TSI employees within eight business hours. Holding one another accountable and working together toward a common goal make it possible for TSI to achieve true excellence.

I just got off his site and couldn't find it. I guess he is out for now. Have you got yours yet? Have you started building it?Originally Posted by dcorb
I ordered a Mag Well adapter from Curtis. I have parts kit. Now all I need is warmer temperatures to return to the garage.
I just got off his site and couldn't find it. I guess he is out for now. Have you got yours yet? Have you started building it?Originally Posted by dcorb
I have mine. I am thinking of starting work on it this week. Next weekend I am attending the Weaponeer AK build party and I might bring it along to work on there.Originally Posted by 3/325
Curtis seemed to have taken the mag wells off his site. Somewhere I read he still sales them by request.
If you can do that with a Suomi Drum what is to keep you from a Thompson .45 cal drum.
That could climb to fast on bump fire?
Thanks for the info.Originally Posted by dcorbIt is funny you mention that. I've been thinking about an ak in 45. I was just going to go w/9mm since Curtis has the Soumi magwell and I have Soumi drums. The 9mm would be easier since a 74 bolt will work. My only reserve against doing a 45 is that I don't have a mill or lathe to mod the bolt face.Originally Posted by AKarl_12
Have you priced Thompson drums lately? The current Kahr/A-O production drums go for $250 and $600 and the build quality on those frankly sucks. Real (pre-Numrich) Thompson drums are worth a fortune and get snapped up by the FA collectors.Originally Posted by AKarl_12
Yup, I figured it would be expensive but not that high.
Well it was just a thought, it sure would be a one of a kind gun.
I picked up some cheap Thompson stick mags just in case I ever get the urge to make a AK45.
No arguement there, I'd personally love to have a .45 caliber AK. Short of developing a rotary mag ala the Bizon or Calico, I'd stick with grease gun mags.
So, have we heard an official reason why these cannot be bent in current AK flat building jigs? I would like to try one but I will just cut up a 7.62 receiver or pre-bent if I can't use my 555 style jig? Does anyone know what "considerable alterations" have to be done? If I alter my jig is it then no good for regular flats?

Photos: Sunsets and Owls Own Me
The wheather's been a little cantankerous this week. You know – 60′s and kind of cloudy.
I had to find arm-warmers and bust out the Ibex knickers.
At first, I blamed Dan Sharp, whose arrival late Saturday night seemed to coincide with the clouds. He argued that blaming the weather on him was not the best way to make him feel welcome and I realized that he was right.
With the clouds came bigger, better colors so Dan and I headed into the backyard to put some purple-pink-orangeness in our cameras.
For the record, Dan Sharp does not let a little barbed wire get in his way of the next good shot.
And, just because Mr. Hoo Hoo seems to be everyone's favorite, another shot of our lovely Great Horned Owl. (Looking pissed at me again.) Next project is to get a shot of this grumpy bird in flight. That should be tricky.
Cactus mimicking sunset. Copycat!

Reviews of this property
Arriving to Dubrovnik we had never been to Croatia before. The coast and town is beautiful, the heat overwhelming. We spend the first night in a nice hotel, and became very surprised when Josko offered to pick us up and drive us to Apartment Franica.
It was his first careful gesture. Josko and his wife Franica showed us how everything in the super clean apartment worked, and we spend a nice time together in the small winecovered garden. That is where Ulla and I spend our time while we stayed in Appartment Franica.
Ofcourse we did spend time in the well equipped kitchen making some nice meals as a change for the restaurant visits. To those meals Josko brought us his well tasting and very smooth wine produced by himself in his home in a village nearby. Understanding we liked his wine, he brought us more and Franica made a cake baked on homebred eggs. Fantastic nothing less.
Dubrownik and the nearby islands is a very interesting place to visit. The museum are interesting, the old town beautiful as an old presius pice of furniture, the apartment is situated just perfect close to a very nice beach, a small supermarket covering all needs and with very good and easy bus connection to the old town of Dubrovning.
Josko and Franica has made the perfect frame for the perfect holliday, and more they are helpful and concerned that their guest get the information they need to find their way, and so helpful driving us to the airport shuttle. Thrustfull and marwoules landlords and peoples.
Best regards from Thomas and Ulla
First of all, the location is just superb after a day in the Dubrovnik old city.
The garden and Josko warm welcome with a huge plate of local product and
fruity bottle wine.
Josko, again many for smile.
Will be back again,
David and Lili
Comfortable apartment with delightful terrace in a quiet area. Buses 400M away, and a good base for spectacular coast walks very close. Josko was very helpful with a lift, wine and fruit offered! Much enjoyed exploring the area from here. Neil and Ann
My mother and I spent 2 weeks in Joskos nice apartment with a wonderful terrace and a small garden. Very well equipped with everything we needed, comfortable beds etc.
But what impressed most was Joskos amazing hospitality, wich we have never experienced before. His kindness, humility and ambition that we would be comfortable and enjoy our vacation was incredible.
Unfortunately, it was too hot in Dubrovnik when we were there so we could not experience everything we had planned. Therefore we have to go back when the weather is cooler. Guess what apartment we going to stay in ? Joskos of course
An ideally located residence; everything your heart desires is available. Clean, nicely furnished - the small garden invites you to relax. Ideally suited for two people. Through a beautiful road, the Old Town in 20 minutes is reached and Josko always for any questions. An absolute recommendation.
Ein ideal gelegenes Domizil; alles, was das Herz begehrt ist vorhanden. Sauber, freundlich eingerichtet - der kleine Garten lädt zum Entspannen ein. Bestens geeignet für zwei Personen. Über einen wunderschönen Weg ist die Altstadt in 20 Minuten zu erreichen und Josko steht immer für irgendwelche Fragen zur Verfügung. Eine absolute Empfehlung.
We had a wonderful stay in Dubrovnik! The appartment is very nice, clean, comfortable and well equiped. There is a little sunny terrace with a little garden. The atmosphere is quiete and nice! Within 15-20 minutes you can walk to the old-city.
The hosts, Josko is very friendly and helpful. His wife made us a very delicious croatian desert. We enjoyed it very much. We recommend to anyone, who visit Dubrovnik to stay at Joskos place... We would like to go back again.
Words can't describe the beautiful nature of Josko and his family ... My stay in Dubrovnik at Joskos residence was 100% successful ... It's generally not recommended to visit Croatia during the winter, but we had amazing weather and an awesome experience.
Not only was the residence perfect, but to get a real feel of Croatia Josko invited myself and partner to his own village for a traditional dinner and to taste the his own crafted wines. In addition he also went out of his way to pick up and drop off to the airport.
I would recommend to anyone to visit Dubrovnik and even better to stay at Joskos sunny terrace ... I hope to be back in the near future.
Josko is a special host, the welfare of its guests truly care. Thanks a lot for this. The apartment is small but perfectly formed and the three of the week no problem ..... The only negative was: from the terrace is the sea no longer be seen as it is on greens.
Josko ist eine besonderer Gastgeber, dem das Wohl seiner Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt. Vielen Dank dafür. Die Wohnung ist klein, aber fein und zu dritt war die Woche gar kein Problem.....einziger Wehmutstropfen: von der Terrasse aus ist das Meer leider nicht mehr zu sehen, da sie eingegrünt ist.
Our stay in Dubrovnik in Joskos's and Franica's apartment was really great.
The apartment was clean, comfortable and fully equipped with a nice terrace to eat breakfast etc. The situation of the apartment a little bit away from the town center was very good for us, on short walks to the town center we could admire nice wiews to the sea, Near the apartment there are also a little foodshop and restaurants, The apartment: 10 points out of 10.
The hosts, Josko and Franica, 12 points out of 10. Very seldom you meet so warm, friendly and helpful people. They made us feel like home from the first moment and we really felt being at home.We had the possibility to enjoy our hosts' great croatian hospitality with lovely homemade wine and croatian sea food. This kind of friendliness we haven't met elsewhere in Europe.
In a word: we left our hearts in Croatia and Dubrovnik, and we are sure that we will be back some day in the near future.
This is a lovely little apartment with a lovely terrace. It is very well equipped and we are wanted for anything. It is near a store, restaurants and at least two beaches. (A shingle and rocks)
The old town of Dubrovnik and its surroundings offer tours and unforgettable walks.
Josko and his family are great hosts. They are generous, helpful, available, conscientious and so on ...
We thank them with all my heart for wine, cake and all services rendered.
We had a wonderful stay.
Thank you for everything.
C'est un charmant petit appartement avec une très jolie terrasse. Il est très bien équipé et on n'y a manqué de rien. Il se trouve à proximité d'un magasin, de restaurants et d'au moins deux plages.(une de galets et une de rochers)
La vieille ville de Dubrovnik et ses environs permettent des visites et des promenades inoubliables.
Josko et sa famille sont des hôtes formidables. Ils sont généreux, serviables, disponibles, consciencieux et j'en passe...
Nous tenons à les remercier de tout cœur pour le vin, le gâteau et tout les services rendus.
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour.
Merci pour tout.

While other big-spending state politicians went to Washington seeking a handout, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford went to "beg" (his word, not mine) federal politicians not to bail out states.
Sanford understands something most economically illiterate politicians - a majority of Kentucky lawmakers - do not: Bailouts do not fix fiscal problems. Bailouts make them worse.
To the editor,
It is impossible to name the utility linemen what worked in our area to restore electricity. But it is clear that they did an outstanding job. For that I thank them.
Then there are the neighbors and friends that deserve a big thank you. Among them are Billy Doyle, Jamie Snapp, Bruce Kennedy, Russell Harris, Dustin Rose, and Chester McCauley.
During the ice storm last week Millard Collins who is a diabetic was at my home and could not get home to get his medication. The doctor called him in a weeks supply but we could not get to Wal-Mart.
I want to praise and thank our County Judge Alex Barnett. He went to Wal-Mart and picked the medication up and paid for it and brought it to my home. Thank you again.

Cynthiana, Ky.
To the editor:
I really hope you print this letter. We all have been going through a crisis in the past weeks. I have always had a full time job and was a single parent for 18 years.
The first thing I asked Sean Gebhard was, "Do people think you're crazy?"
Sean runs the Upper Room Café in Mount Dora, a cute little town about 40 miles east of where I live in central Florida.
I had heard about his "Holy Spirit-filled café" upstairs in the historic Renaissance Building, and the last time we were in Mount Dora I stopped in to see it for myself.
These sure are scary times. National and state budgets are strained, unemployment rates are at record highs, businesses are cutting back and local governments are declaring bankruptcy.
It seems that now, more than ever, there's little hope for the growth of a small community like Cynthiana and Harrison County.
Long before our nation found itself in an economic crisis, many of us were scratching our heads and pondering what we could do to make our hometown of Cynthiana a success.
The outpouring of love and support that so many of you have shown to me and my family at the loss of our son, Derek, has warmed our hearts and reminded us once again how lucky we are to live in this community.
In regard to Ms. Ritchie's letter. Join the club!
This past Memorial Day I placed a saddle of flowers on my mom and dad's monument in Kentontown Cemetery. When I want to get them they were gone. I looked all around at all the beautiful ones, still on their stones not touched. Yet they chose to take mine.
This cemetery in Robertson County is the most vandalized one that I know of.
In 1996 we moved our stone to Battle Grove so it would be safe, after it was painted red.
I try to picture what kind of person would take flowers off a person's grave.
My dad passed away Dec. 31 and was buried Jan. 5. I went to the cemetery a few days later and my flowers were gone.
It's hard for me to think that someone can be so low and dirty. But you know what they know who they are and so do I, but most of Daddy knows and so does God. So no matter if you think you got by with it. You just remember that someone seen you and you will have to face him one day and what are you going to say to him.

My name is Jennifer Wilson and I am the elementary music teacher here in Harrison County. I would like to invite the community to a performance. This Friday, February 13th, 2009 we will be having a shadow puppet play at Eastside Elementary. This week, our third graders at Eastside having been working with a guest artist, Gregory Acker. Funding was providing by VSA arts of Kentucky, a non-profit organization that provides opportunities in the arts for people with disabilities.
The snow and ice storm of 2009 can be deemed nothing short of a challenge for many.
Those who met the challenge are nothing short of heroes.
Challenge came in the way of moms and dads trying to keep the family warm and fed without electricity. It came in the way of electric service men and women facing the elements to light the county. And it came in the way of road crews clearing paths on streets and roads not just for grocery-bound citizens, but for emergency responders as well.
FRANKFORT – The General Assembly kicked off the 2009 Regular Session early last week, dedicating its first four days to electing our legislative leaders and appointing the various committees for the next two years.
Touted as the youngest ordained minister in history, 4-year-old Marjoe Gortner burst onto the Holy Ghost revival scene in the late 1940s.
His father, a second-generation preacher, trained the boy, who had a talent for sweeping and pointed gestures, to proclaim the name of "Jay-zus" — and bilk money from the faithful who came to hear him preach.
My family would like to thank all of you so very much for the flowers, cards, letters, food and also gave money when we lost our beloved daughter Danyell Beth Kearns on Jan. 6, 2009. It meant so much to us to see she had so many family and friends that loved her and we had so many family and friends to lean on. She will be missed so much but never forgotten.
The money that was donated on her behalf will be used towards a headstone for her grave. This will be her last gift and it will come from all of you.
Identified as young tundra swans, these two swans have taken up residence in Cynthiana's Licking River near the ballpark. "I would say they're lost from their flock..." said Jerry Jenkins, who noticed the swans in the river last week. Jenkins said the one-year-old swans were attracted to the vegetation in the river. "They'll probably head up to Canada, or wherever they're from when it gets warmer," Jenkins said.
On Feb. 17, 2009, all over-the-air broadcasters will switch from an analog to a digital format. Doing so will improve the quality and choice of television available in our homes, but it will require some adjustment. As your congressman, I hope to provide you with resources that will ease this transition.
Currently, U.S. broadcast stations employ both analog and digital formats. However, in 2006, Congress passed legislation that would require all television stations to stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital.
I would like to encourage everyone to don their parkas, dig out from under the ice, and join the Rohs Opera House and the Cynthiana Arts Council for Classic Movie Night. The Classic Movie Night series offers the people in our community the rare opportunity to see some of the best movies ever made as they were meant to be seen—in a darkened theatre on a big screen.
A Friday afternoon visit to H.A. Jones to finalize the purchase of a business truck purchase found Montgomery Northcutt occupying space in the showroom.
With his charming demeanor, Montgomery greeted me.
"What have you done to the newspaper?" he asked. That question was much less pointed than Montgomery's next question regarding where all my hair went.
The Kentucky General Assembly convened its 2009 Regular Session this week, with more than 200 bills already filed and more on the way.
We are in serious economic times. Lay-offs and job losses are beginning to affect Harrison County residents directly and indirectly. If we are being spared personally, we still hurt for our neighbors.

Cut the duct wrap to fit, then install
Uninsulated ducts that run through unconditioned spaces can lose more than 30 percent of their heating or cooling capacity. So you'll save money by insulating them. The Residential Building Code calls for R-8 insulation for these ducts, but check with your building inspector for local code requirements. Before you insulate, however, plug any air leaks by sealing all the joints with caulk or tape.
Look for "duct wrap," a fiberglass product with an outer foil vapor barrier. The foil barrier prevents condensation (and mold) from forming on the duct.
Unfortunately, R-8 duct wrap can be difficult to find. We checked three home centers and found only R-3 duct wrap. That didn't meet our local codes, so we contacted a heating equipment supply house. That company knew exactly what we were looking for and had it in stock.
We bought a roll of 3-in. by 48-in.-wide by 50-ft. duct wrap for our installation. We also bought a few rolls of UL181 aluminum duct tape to seal the insulation seams.
You'll be handling fiberglass, so wear long sleeves, goggles, mask and leather gloves. Measure the circumference of the duct, add 2 in. to the total, and cut the insulation to that length. Remove a 2-in. strip of fiberglass to create an overlapping flap for taping (Photo 1). To finish the job, butt the insulation edges together along the bottom of the duct, overlap the 2-in. strip of foil, and secure it with aluminum tape (Photo 2). Wrap wire around the insulation to relieve seam stress and prevent the seam from separating (Photo 3).
You'll save lots of cutting and fitting time on rectangular ducts by removing the hanging brackets one section at a time. Remove the screw from the joist and rotate the bracket. Once the insulation is in place and taped, cut a small hole near each bracket, rotate it back up through the hole and reattach it to the joist. Seal around the bracket with tape.

well its not like i never get girls its actually more that i only go for like 9s and 10s i may need to lower my standards for a bit. and ya im frail as fuck actually, 6'4" 140 lbs lol im not really insecure about it tho, i go to art school everyones frail if i was swole everyone would just think im a douchey bro or some shit haha
Nothing is wrong with being skinny. I have been skinny my whole life and have never lifted a weight. Do bitches care? Not the ones I know. I too am very introverted but, it can be good at times. The thing is to not give any fucks. Not giving any fucks makes things less stressful. Also lift weights for your health, not for bitches because even though you will have the body of a god bitches will see right through you if your too timid. And being swole makes it worse because they will expect you to be highly confident, maybe even a bit of a douche. Just be yourself thats all. Don't change for nobody, success will come in time homie. You said you are in an art school with a scholarship, that should be enough of a sign that you are confident and will be successful in your own way. I know I couldn't do that because I suck at most arts, but you were chosen because you are more gifted than others. IDK just my two cents homie. I just hate seeing people put themselves down because I used to be like that myself.
Edit: Mods plz fix the quotes. TIA

I'd like to build an oxalic acid vaporizer and I'd like to build it using black iron pipe. I'd apply heat from a torch. Anyone know of any problems with that approach? - Mike
I'd like to build an oxalic acid vaporizer and I'd like to build it using black iron pipe. I'd apply heat from a torch. Anyone know of any problems with that approach? - Mike
Having not tried this, but I can guess at some problems.
One, the size of the pipe and where you plan to insert it
Two, the OA melts and then vaporizes, and then seems to re-melt when it contacts the cool pipe on its way out the 'exit'
three, the general mass of the pipe that you would have to heat
four, the longer the process takes, the more bee congestion that occurs at the entrance
Just some thoughts
Trying techniques that I doubt will work because I like to be right!
The simple Oxalic acid vaporizers I have seen over here were all made from copper plumbing tube.
There are several reasons why copper is used, its more resistant to the acid and it carries the heat better. If you heat up one side of the iron pipe its not said that the other side of the pipe has the same temperature causing the Acid to condense again.
If I were you I would stay with copper.
Indeed, tubing is preferable to pipe which takes longer to heat up and longer to cool down unless it is dunked in a bucket of water, then as mentioned above there is the possible problem of re-crystallization in the delivery section. Heat is a lot easier to control with tubing. My vaporizer is made of stainless steel tubing with a reservoir for the OA, copper works just as well.

I guarantee you will get a whiff of the vapors being this close. Even if you use the wind a slight change in direction will happen. The only ways around this is to spend the money on a respirator with acid cartridges or spend the money and buy a 12 volt with a long cord. I use the 12 volt and still get a whiff now and then. Alittle wont kill ya but you will know the instant it happens
Re solidifying will be a problem. It is hard to estimate how much of your measured charge actually went into the hive. The less mass of the delivery pipe the better and also very important is its heat conductivity. The higher it is the easier to get heat to flow into the delivery end of the pipe. Stainless tubing wins points on being thinner so less mass but its heat conductivity is even worse than plain carbon steel and much, much less than copper. I have made 4 different ones. The ones you heat with a torch tends to have you down close to the hive front; not good. The electric ones heated with the glow plugs is the easiest to control from a distance and puts the heat and OA entirely inside the hive and you can be 20 feet away. I made several from stainless and the heat conductivity creates problems to get a good clean vaporization without overheating part of the process which is a caution. The last one is a keeper and is made of aluminum and has a pair of glow plugs. One minute from power on till vapour starts and power off at two minutes. Vapor continues for another thirty seconds. No camera at present!
I inject the OA via the stainless tube on top of the sealed hives where I can watch the vaporization under a plexiglass cover, I have not had any problems but the temperature has to be controlled precisely, just a little too much heat with the torch and the OA will flash off into harmless co2 and water vapor, too little heat and the OA will recrystallize in the delivery tube. The person doing this procedure must know how to finesse the torch in order to get the correct results, with a little practice however and done correctly the resulting mite kill is very thorough. Because of the need for precise heat control it is best to use this method in a way in which you can see the vapor being formed, and that would be tough to do at the entrance of a hive.
An electric unit such as what crofter is describing is much quicker and easier to use, it also allows a person to place it into the entrance of a hive and step back away to operate it so it's a bit safer as well. There are several companies which sell these units for those who do not have the equipment or ability to build their own .

Gent's. I made the mistake of picking up a TGI receiver for my PSL kit. I was hoping there was someone among you who can turn this non spec POS receiver into something that will allow the bolt to move freely on. Please let me know.
Pm sent
Remember when we was playing matchbox cars in science class? Who's retarded now?
It was not a mistake, just a learning curve option. Now there are no more NDS receivers so everyone gets to go your route of build.
The top rails need to be opened up after you have riveted in the front & rear trunnions. This will give you a stable base to make a parallel set of upper rails that the bolt carrier & bolt will ride upon without binding. If you had less metal in the rails area, you would have a paper weight to look at. It can be done with a hand file & a pair of dial calipers if you go slowly. Use your bolt carrier to check the action to make sure you don't cut off too much metal from the upper rails.
The under finished scope rail requires more attention to get a scope base to fit it; usually a 30 degree dove tail mill end will clean up the rail, but you need a good mill to do that operation!
Good luck on your build, it can be done with patience & skill!

So far I have used only hand files steady even strokes, I have full motion in the bolt/bolt carrier no binding and no mistakes...so far. The part that I may enlist someone on is the Scope rail as I don't have access to a mill and I don't think the hand files will cut it (figuratively speaking).
!st id , I got a PSL receiver from centerfire 3 years back and the scope rail wasn't finnished . I used a dremer tool to cut it down until I got my scope to work . Oh I was with the 4\16th infantry regiment in Germany back in the 80's .
Ahhh Germany. God I wish we were still there. A serviceman's heaven.
I traveled on the trains when I had the time off except France . sorry about massing up 1st ID ,I hit the shift button when I shoulded have.
I have a mill if you still need some help, but i'm in West Virginia. Just a little far.

Which publisher?
I know a few authors are here at EH-Net, so any insights and personal experiences are much appreciated.
Generally I am also very interested in the general opinion from EH-Netters about good and quality publishers in terms of good books. In my opinion, a good publisher should not only publish a book, but also help with editorial stuff, proof-reading, gives suggestions and recommendations, and, personally very important, give honest feedback - I am not looking for a publisher who's main concern is about publishing as many books as possible. I'm looking for quality.
What are your thoughts on publishers such as Syngress, No Starch Press, Wiley, O'Reilly, Osborne/McGraw-Hill, Addison-Wesley, For Dummies, etc.? Can someone tell something about their reputation (in the US and in general)? E.g. that publisher (insert name) has often bad proof-read books or mostly excellent-books? Of course the author is responsible for what he has written, but maybe some publishers have a good eye for what's good because of personal knowhow and experience.
Any recommendations are highly appreciated.

USDA reminds producers to sign up for payments
Minnesota U.S. Department of Agriculture-Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers that sign-up for the 2011 Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) began Oct. 22 and ends June 7.
The SURE program is part of the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill). Under the 2008 Farm Bill, SURE authorizes assistance to farmers and ranchers who suffered crop losses caused by natural disasters occurring through Sept. 30, 2011.
Any eligible producer who suffered losses during the 2011 crop year is encouraged to visit a local FSA office to learn more about the SURE program and how to apply.
As of Sept. 30, 2011, the department's authority to operate the SURE program expired. Production losses due to disasters occurring after Sept. 30, 2011, are not eligible for disaster program coverage.
Farmers and ranchers interested in signing up must do so before the June 7 deadline. For more information on the 2011 SURE program, call the Crow Wing/Cass FSA Office at 218-829-5965 or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/sure.

Just got back from doing a cut out from the floor of someone's shed. At first I saw masses amounts of drone and more drone brood. I thought great a queenless worker laying hive. But the more and more I got into the hive, I begin to run into worker brood. There were more drones in the hive than I've ever seen though, seemed almost like 20-30% of the bees.
As I was rubber-banding brood into frames I found quite a few swarm cells. I was careful not to damage them just incase the queen had already left. As I was checking I found a queen. I say a queen because towards the end of cutting out brood I found a few opened swarm cells. I put her in a queen catcher and set her to the side. All in all, I put 1 1/2 medium boxes of brood into boxes
I am thinking this must have been a virgin queen because they weren't flocking to her. A lot of the bees were still in the hole where I cut out the hive.
I didn't stick around to check if the bees were going to start working their way into the hive that i left. I had to get back, and the place was a 40 minute drive away.
If I have a virgin queen will they still be attracted to her, since I left her in the catcher rubber-banded next to the brood? Or should I just try to vacuum up the remaining bees tomorrow night? Can I do anything with a virgin queen?

Wow nice job. But I can tell the butts gonna be huge, making it a little disproportionate. Adn I don't think GM puts those silver badges near the doors anymore. But overall you did a nice job.
its based on the X6. its not doing it for U huh Bell?
Well, considering I find the X6 to be foul there's not much you could do to make it look good to me, except lower the ride height and not make it so tall overall; and that would leave you with a sedan.
Zeta based Crossover Wagon nicely done chop and oddly it works, i dont' know about the name though.

I guess it would be more of a wagon since isn't very high and I can't think of a cooler name, haha
Overall very good, but I have two problems...a) It looks to have an immensely wide rear-end and a narrow front-end. I don't know how that problem could've arose. b) Eventually, there was bound to be someone saying this, so I'll just get it out of the way. It needs a sweap-spear.
Make those wheels bigger, that's a HUGE gap in the wheel wells. The front end looks pretty good though.

Iran, formerly called Persia in the West, has over 74 million inhabitants and is one of the oldest nations in the world. Situated in the heart of Western Asia or the "Middle East," with a rich and diverse history dating back to 625 BC, it has more recently been in the forefront of global news since the onslaught of the Islamic Revolution in 1977-1979, and determines international relations and the geopolitics of the region at large. With their interest in Iranian Studies, the Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) and the Middle Eastern Studies Program (MESP) make Rutgers one of the few institutions in North America that has a direct focus on the study of Iran. Throughout the program, faculty emphasize an interdisciplinary approach that allows them to place Iran in its immediate geographical, political, and cultural contexts in the Middle Eastern, Muslim and larger world. The CMES and MESP think of this approach as "trans-national Iranian Studies."
Faculty and student research interests on Iran correspond to a wide range of Persian history, culture, and politics. At the African, Middle Eastern, and South Asian Languages and Literatures Department (AMESALL), within the Persian language program, research in Persian literature encompasses a wide range of topics from classical narrative, heroic and romantic epics, medieval poetry, and satire, to the modern genres of novels, the short story, and the post-revolutionary literature of war and revolution. The MESP is home to two scholars of Iran. Golbarg Bashi's research interests include the theories and practices of human rights in Iran and the Muslim world, modern Iranian social and intellectual history, and women's rights movements in Iran and in a comparative context. Fakhrolmolouk Haghani focuses upon the comparative cultural, intellectual, and social history of the contemporary Middle East (with specific reference to Egypt and Iran). Her scholarship combines interdisciplinary, transnational, and comparative theoretical and methodological approaches including women's and gender studies, media and performance studies, and cultural studies. Charles Haberl is one of a small number of scholars currently engaged in research on the Mandaean community of Iraq and Iran, documenting their language, literature, and religion, which is the only surviving Gnostic sect from the period of Late Antiquity.
Interest in Iranian Studies is not limited to MESP and AMESALL. The Department of Religion has faculty researching medieval Sufi texts written in Arabic and Persian, the poetry of Jalal al-Din Rumi (d. 1273), and translations of his magnum opus, the Masnavi. The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy (BPPP) offers courses on global restructuring and public policy, international economic development, and national and regional development planning and policy, which touch on topics associated with Iran. It is also home to a dialogue scholar, Hooshang Amirahmadi, who works toward building a relationship between the United States and Iran. In addition, there are other scholars affiliated with CMES and MESP whose research relates to Iran within the departments of Religion, Art History, and Journalism and Media Studies.
CMES has hosted public conferences and faculty workshops dedicated to topics related to Iranian Studies, and the ongoing addition of books to the library collection has increased awareness of Iran and an appreciation of the cultural heritage and history of Iranians and the Iranian language speaking world (including other countries such as Afghanistan and Tajikistan). In 2007, CMES was the recipient of a US Department of Education Title VI-A Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language (UISFL) Grant to enhance contemporary Iranian Studies at Rutgers.

This evening I was watching my Top Bar Hive entrances and saw a beetle landing on the alighting board. A bee grabbed it and pulled in in the hive. Is that normal?
The hive is a 7 week old top bar hive. It appears to be pretty strong, we have had great nectar and pollen since I installed it and it has 11 bars of comb, 7 are 80%+ built and has had tons of emerging brood. I inspected the hive just yesterday and that is the first beetle I have seen. I suspect that the bees will put it in jail before it can lay eggs, but is that normal? I would have thought a guard would have grabbed it and taken it elsewhere. I was surprised to see it captured and taken inside the hive. Any insights on this behavior?

Police: Man binged on beer, coke before slaying
BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) - Police say a man who allegedly confessed to killing a 14-year-old girl in Commerce City had binged on beer and cocaine before the slaying.
A police affidavit released Wednesday said 24-year-old Ezequiel Padilla-Villalobos told investigators that his girlfriend asked him to pick up her younger sister Sunday night. He said he had "thoughts of killing her" while he was driving.
Relatives identified the victim as Gabriela Acosta, who was known as Gaby. Cousin Janeth Acosta told The Denver Post that she went to Broomfield High School and was looking forward to turning 15 and having a quinceanera party.
She said Padilla-Villalobos would sometimes give Gaby rides and was someone the family had trusted.
He is a native of Chihuahua, Mexico and federal immigration officials asked that he be held without bond.


text: It may leave some copper, but try cleaning lead from a barrel. Chrome lined barrels are a breeze to clean, standard barrels not too bad, all depending on how dirty the barrel is and how long the barrel has been dirty. Anyway, if Hoppes and a good copper brush or synthetic brush for a chrome lined barrel doesn't work I'd be surprised. To be more specific, copper bullets leave minuscule amounts of copper if at all, mostly what you'll be cleaning is powder residue, thus copper bullet residue is the easiest to clean in my opinion and I'd pass on any type of copper remover.
