Dylan's Visions of Sin
by Christopher Ricks
Ecco, 528 pp., $26.95
"Not all great poets--like Wallace Stevens --are great singers," Bob Dylan once suggested. "But a great singer--like Billie Holiday--is always a great poet."
It would be an enterprise in itself to disentangle the many ways in which this brief statement is dead wrong. The antithesis, if it is meant as an antithesis, between poet and singer, is false to begin with. The "not all" is based on a nonexpectation: How many poets have been singers at all? Certainly not Dylan Thomas, the Welsh boozer and bawler from whom Bob Dylan--a Jewish loner from Hibbing, Minnesota, who was born as Robert Zimmerman--annexed his nom de chanteur.
Other cryptic or pretentious observations, made by Bob Dylan down the years, have licensed the suspicion that he's been putting people on and starting wild-goose chases for arcane or esoteric readings that aren't there. There are also those who maintain that Dylan can't really sing. (This latter group has recently been reluctantly increasing.) Of his ability as a poet, however, there can be no reasonable doubt. I used to play two subliterary games with Salman Rushdie. The first, not that you asked, was to re-title Shakespeare plays as if they had been written by Robert Ludlum. (Rushdie, who invented the game, came up with The Elsinore Vacillation, The Dunsinane Reforestation, The Kerchief Implication, and The Rialto Sanction.) The second was to recite Bob Dylan songs in a deadpan voice as though they were blank verse. In addition to the risk of the ridiculous, it can become quite hypnotic. Try it yourself with "Mr. Tambourine Man": It works so well, you hardly care that a tambourine man can't really be playing a song. "Lily, Rosemary and The Jack of Hearts," "Chimes of Freedom," and "Desolation Row" all have the same feeling.
But as a guide to Dylan's poetic moments, do we really need help from Christopher Ricks, author of Keats and Embarrassment, editor of T.S. Eliot's juvenilia, instructor on the funny side of Tristram Shandy, and all-around literary mandarin? Need him or not, we now have Ricks--who, in Dylan's Visions of Sin, performs over five-hundred pages of literary criticism on the lyrics. Reading Dylan as the bard of guilt and redemption, Ricks takes his stand on the recurrence in the songs of the seven deadly sins, only just balanced as they are by the four cardinal virtues and the three theological virtues (or heavenly graces: faith, hope, and charity).
It's Ricks's own potentially deadly virtues that bother me. What temptation should one avoid above all, if one is a former professor of English at Cambridge? The temptation to be matey, or hip, or cool--especially if one is essaying the medium of popular music. But Ricks begins his book like this: "All I really want to do is--what, exactly? Be friends with you? Assuredly I don't want to do you in, or select you or dissect you or inspect you or reject you."
The toe-curling embarrassment of this is intensified when one appreciates that Ricks is addressing his subject, not his reader. Why did he leave out other verbs Dylan had in that song: simplify you, classify you, deny, defy, or crucify you? And surely, he's already at least "selected" him?
Then, accused by one of his usually admiring rivals in Dylanology, Alex Ross of the New Yorker, of "fetishizing the details of a recording," the prof resorts to unbearable archness. ("What me? All the world knows that it is women's shoes that I am into.") Some of Ricks's jokey attempts at making puns work ("cut to the chaste"), but "interluckitor" is a representative failure. This last is coined to deal with a claim by Dylan, made in 1965, that every song of his "tails off with--'Good Luck--I hope you make it.'" Such a claim, if taken seriously, would in any case vitiate most of Dylan's claims to profundity.
Having said that distinguished academics ought not to try and be ingratiating with the young, I pull myself up a bit and realize that true Dylan fans are probably well into their fifties by now. It must have been in 1965 that I first heard what Philip Larkin called, in a quasi-respectful review of Highway 61 Revisited, his "cawing, derisive voice." And it will be with me until my last hour. Some of this is context. The "sixties" didn't really begin until after the Kennedy assassination (or "Nineteen Sixty-Three," as Larkin had it in another reference), and Bob Dylan was as good a handbook for what was supposedly happening as Joseph Heller. Much of it of course also had to do with the sappiness, in both "sap" senses, of adolescence. Yet even at the time, I was somehow aware that Dylan wasn't all that young, and didn't take "youth" at its face value. A good number of his best songs were actually urging you to grow up, or at any rate to get real. Dylan respected his elders, most notably Woody Guthrie. And he was braced for disillusionment. How does it feel? Don't think twice, it's all right. It's all over now, baby blue. I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.
Ricks essentially wants to argue that Dylan has always been swayed by the elders and that his verses consistently defer to the authorities. How else to explain, for example, the many latent affinities between "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" and the Book of Ezekiel? The kings of Tyre, the dying music, the futility of earthly possessions. . . . That's Covetousness taken care of, with Pride (or at any rate hubris) given a passing whack into the bargain. Six sins to go.
Ricks has no success with Greed (as he admits) and not much with Sloth, either. There is a good deal of anomie and fatalism in Dylan; a fair amount of shrugging and dismissal and an abiding sense of waste and, equally often, of loss. It's pervasive but nonspecific in "Time Passes Slowly," which Ricks interrogates without any great profit. So I pushed on to "Lust," and was taken aback.
"Lay, Lady, Lay" is one of the great sexual entreaties, and it has in common with "I Want You" and "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" a highly ethical reliance on the force of gentle persuasion. There is no blackmail, moral or otherwise, and no hint of a threat or even a scene in the event of nonconsummation. But nor is there any doubt of what the minstrel wants: His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean. / And you're the best thing that he's ever seen. Of this false modesty and abject flattery, Ricks astonishingly says that "his hands are clean because he is innocent, free of sin: no lust, for all the honest desire, and no guile." Had Dylan written "his clothes are dirty but his mind is clean," this might have been believable. And is there no guile in the succeeding stanza?
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too.
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you?
Ricks then moves to a laborious comparison with Donne's "On His Mistress Going To Bed," at which point I thought, well, as soon as I turn the page he'll stop clearing his throat and make the obvious metaphysical connection to Andrew Marvell and "To His Coy Mistress." But no. And here's the clue to Ricks's method. The words "bed," "show," "see," "man," "hands," "world" he says all appear in both Donne and Dylan, while the words "unclothed" and "lighteth" appear in Donne, balanced by "clothes" and "light" in Dylan.
Shall we agree that all the words just specified are in somewhat common use today, and were in equally ordinary employment in the seventeenth century? Whereas, if you care to glance again at the Dylan lines I just cited, not only do you think at once of Marvell's Had we but world enough and time / This coyness, Lady, were no crime (which gets "lady" in there, right enough, and in delicious apposition to "world" at that), but you also find yourself grappling with Marvell's gentle but urgent sense of delay and frustration. Dylan further beseeches the lady to stay while the night is still ahead and to have [her] cake and eat it too: Metaphysically speaking this is not so remote from Marvell's reminder that the darkness of death will last an awfully long time, while in the grave the worms may dine long and well. This is something different from Donne's poem, which swiftly becomes a near-raunchy celebration of achieved carnal knowledge of someone familiar to him. Finally, Marvell speaks beautifully and seductively about keeping the sun in motion since there's no chance of making it stand still, and Dylan longs to see his beloved "in the morning light," having banished the night in the only way that lies open to him. I hope I don't boast about my own poor exegesis, but Ricks's procedure is more like that of the people who pore over Bible codes or kabbalistic crossword puzzles.
DYLAN'S VERSION OF ANGER is sardonic and bitter: an exemplary match for the "cawing, derisive" tones noted by Larkin. In "Masters of War," "Only a Pawn In Their Game," and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," he said to the military-industrial complex and the racists, in effect, "You win. For now. But for now you also have to live with your shame. And judgment will follow, and is coming." (I have always hoped, for this reason, that Joan Baez was wrong in claiming that Dylan wrote "When The Ship Comes In"--his most Jeremiad and vengeful poem--in response to bad service at some hotel.)
"The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" was based on a real event in 1963: the lethal beating of Hattie Carroll by William Zanzinger in a Baltimore hotel. Zanzinger's lenient treatment by the courts fired Dylan into a hot rage, yet producing his most glacial and most measured poem of outrage and contempt. He simply relates the story, with deadly counterpoint as between the rich and careless white man and the dispensable black servitor. The song never uses the words "black" or "white," as Ricks points out, but just: He owns a tobacco farm of six hundred acres, while she emptied the ashtrays on a whole other level. Thus is the plantation relationship re-cast and, as Ricks rightly says, "it's a terrible thing that you know this [their respective colors] from the story." But then again, as Ricks also emphasizes, Dylan's affecting line And she never done nothing to William Zanzinger is a sort of clue. I have always thought that this was Dylan ventriloquizing, without condescension, the "Black English" demotic comment on the affair. Ricks improves on my intuition by giving the example of James Baldwin in The Amen Corner: "He hadn't never done nothing to nobody."
Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle, in Dylan's haunting phrase, Zanzinger slew Hattie Carroll with a cane that he twirled around his diamond-ring finger, and who would pass up the chance to recall the first murderer, Cain, in this context? Not Ricks, who also calls attention to the words lay slain by a cane and to the triple repetition of the word "table," which closes three consecutive lines. "Does this -able" he inquires, "prepare for the word that soon follows, 'cane'? Cain and Abel, masculine and feminine endings?" Well, no, I shouldn't think so. Whatever the song is about, it most decidedly isn't about fratricide. And Cain and Abel--scarcely unique metaphors where murder is concerned--appear in other Dylan songs under their own names. Ricksian hermeneutics has its limits.
I could, nonetheless, have used some more counsel from Ricks about the title. In what way was Hattie Carroll's death "lonesome"? There is an unmistakable sentimentality in this word; a tear-jerking note that is wondrously absent from the song itself. Insufficient guidance is forthcoming: Ricks proposes without much brio that Dylan "perhaps" wanted the word to evoke a contrast between Hattie's death and the crowded hotel. But with or without that "perhaps," ultimately, everybody dies alone.
Ricks's closing thought is superior. He argues that T.S. Eliot understood the difference between writing religious poetry and writing poetry religiously, and that Dylan with "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" has written politically rather than merely writing a political song. That seems to be a distinction well worth observing, most especially at a time like the present with its ephemeral garbage of pseudo-protest. ("We've suffered for our music--now it's your turn.") The finest fury is the most controlled. One still feels a generous anger when listening to the song--incidentally, William Zanzinger turned up again a few years ago in the Baltimore courts, for leasing black people squalid, waterless cabins that he didn't even own--and the pairing of generosity with anger (annexed from Orwell out of Dickens) might license some interpenetration of sin and virtue, or even sin with grace.
It's back to hermeneutics in Ricks's study of "Love Minus Zero / No Limit," which occurs in the chapter on "Temperance." As you will recall, the song begins My love she speaks like silence / Without ideals or violence, while in a succeeding verse:
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall.
For Ricks, this is Belshazzar's feast in the fifth chapter of Daniel: "In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. And this is the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it."
Building upon this, Ricks insists that the biblical "candlestick" furnishes Dylan not only with his song's reference to candles and matchsticks, but the biblical word "numbered" may have a relation to the "Minus Zero" in Dylan's title. This same chapter of Daniel has the words "people," "tremble," "wise men," and "gifts"--and also "spake," "said," and "that night." What more could one want as proof of the direct influence of the prophet Daniel upon the song?
Something more, as it happens. The words of the prophets are written on the subway wall, as Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were to say in "The Sounds of Silence," and it was as obvious to me the first time I heard "Love Minus Zero / No Limit" as it is today that Dylan was alluding to graffiti: a special emphasis in that time and place. If you really want to connect Babylon to Dylan, you might have better luck with "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts": The cabaret was silent--except for the drilling in the wall.
AT THE SAME TIME I was digesting all this in Dylan's Visions of Sin, I noticed that Ricks deals with an obvious contradiction in his account (the king being "reduced" to the pawn) in the following evasive manner: "'Even the pawn must hold a grudge.' Even the king? Even Dylan, whom I ungrudgingly admire?" This is ingratiation raised to the level of unction. I remember the first time that I ever felt a qualm about Dylan's claims. It was early on as well: He said that he had written "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" at the time of the Cuban missile crisis--and he had been in such an apocalyptic hurry that every line could be the first line of another song. Even in my early teens, I knew that that was bravado.
Oddly, perhaps, Ricks spends almost no time on the influences that Dylan actually does affirm or the influences that we know about. "Blowin' In the Wind" borrows from an old slave spiritual called "No More Auction Block," with its haunting words about "many thousands gone." Dylan was actually sued by Dominic Behan, brother of Brendan, for plagiarizing not only the tune but the concept of "The Patriot Game" for his "With God on Our Side." More recently, his song about a Japanese yakuza was tracked down to an obscure but identifiable source, while the deft Daniel Radosh has blogged a near-perfect match between Dylan's "Cross the Green Mountain" (written for Ron Maxwell's movie Gods and Generals) and Walt Whitman's "Come up from the Fields, Father." If I had to surmise another influence, it would be William Blake, not just for the speculative reasons given by Ricks but because, as Blake phrased it: "A Last Judgment is Necessary because Fools flourish."
Even secularists often find themselves thinking things like that, and there is a store of words in the Bible that springs ready-made, as it were. Thus, Ricks could well be correct in thinking that Dylan's "how many times" is an echo both of "How long, oh Lord, how long?" and of Christ's injunction in Matthew on the number of times that it might be needful to turn the other cheek. (He may also be right, though coming down-market more than he likes, in discerning a vague sacred/profane overlap between "I Believe in You" and "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.")
But Christianity as a religion of peace and tolerance and forgiveness is not, superficially at least, compatible with ringing phrases about judgment and the sword: In order to believe in the apparently kindly and reassuring verses about taking no thought for the morrow, one had better have a lively sense of the second coming. This was the line that Dylan actually did take in his born-again period, where he spoke of "spiritual warfare" as well as his "precious angel," and warned that there would be no hiding place on the day. But this, which produced some of his most beautiful writing (and singing) would appear to have been as lightly affected as the gritty dustbowl socialism which the Old Left was already denouncing him for abandoning as far back as 1964. Dylan dropped it and kept moving on.
Indeed, I am sure I remember Ricks welcoming him "back," as it were, when he came up with "Most of the Time" about fifteen years ago. But here, and in his discussion of this superbly apt and lovely and troubling song, I began to write heavy notes in the book's margin: "Most of the time," Ricks writes, "'Most of the Time' consists of repeating the words, 'most of the time.'" [Marginal note: Oh no it doesn't.] Unbelievably, Ricks manages to go on for a half-dozen pages about this song, without ever achieving the realization that it is one of the most vertiginous, knife-edge accounts of a post-love trauma ever penned. You should only listen to the song if you are not currently trying to persuade yourself that "it" is all over and that you are all over "it."
Ricks wraps up blandly: "It is only most of the time that the man in this long black song succeeds in being not disturbed. But he is halfways there. On the other hand, 'She's that far behind.' One too many mornings and a thousand miles behind, to be exact." [In the margin: To be inexact, you mean, you fool. She's right behind him and in front of him and all around him, all of the time. His attempted banishment of her is a hopeless failure! What have you got in your veins--tapwater?]
There follows a lengthy Ricksian contrast between the words of Dylan's song "Not Dark Yet" and Keats's "Ode to a Nightingale." Not, you understand, that our author wants to be taken too seriously. "I don't believe that Keats's poem is alluded to in Dylan's song. That is, called into play, so that you'd be failing to respond to something crucial to the song unless you were familiar with, and could call up, Keats's poem." [In the margin: Oh no, of course, not that.] After all, the deep connection between Keats's My heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains and Dylan's Well, my sense of humanity has gone down the drain is transparent neither in sense nor rhythm.
It is true that the words "dark," "shadow," and "day"--together with "sleep" and "time," or their cognates--are to be found in both sets of verses. I am quite ready to believe that Dylan had a subliminal memory of being taught the poem in school. But Renata Adler did much better than this, during the 1968 Republican convention that nominated Nixon in Miami. Surveying the sea of placards with their jaunty slogan "Now More Than Ever," she suddenly recognized that it came from verse six of the "Nightingale" ode: Now more than ever seems it rich to die, / To cease upon the midnight with no pain.
I think that might have afforded Dylan a smile, and possibly Ricks too. But only one of them has an attitude to sin that is in any sense original.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Posted: September 3, 2009, from the September 2009 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 4 of 6For companies looking to use 100% PCR bottles, clean certified recycled resins are becoming more available and at improved quality levels. Suppliers were at first hesitant to work with 100% postconsumer recycled plastic materials for fear that the finished product would be brittle. "We've worked through that, and now have at least four manufacturers worldwide who are able to produce various 100% PCR plastic packaging for Lush," said Lisa Apfelbaum, creative buyer, Lush.
Although Alpha Packaging is one such manufacturer that can make bottles with 100% postconsumer recyclate using regrind, the company recommends that marketers conduct their own compatibility tests before packaging products. Alpha utilized PCR collected in community recycling programs, cleaned, pelletized and approved by the FDA for food contact for manufacturing. The company also has run some tests with postconsumer high-density polyethylene, but at the present time does not have an FDA-approved source for postconsumer HDPE.
While the cost is slightly higher than for bottles made from virgin PET due to extensive sorting, cleaning and processing, the cost can be expected to remain stable, if not decline, as consumers continue to increase the recycling of PET packaging. According to the PET recycling industry, only about 26% of all PET bottles were recycled in the U.S. in 2008.
When all else fails, there is the reuse of old product packaging and turning it into something else entirely. TerraCycle has turned this idea into a very profitable business. Co-founders Tom Szaky and Jon Beyer take packages and materials that are challenging to recycle and transform them into affordable, high-quality goods—including tote bags, kites and umbrellas. The up-cycling process requires far less energy than recycling, and yields much higher amounts of usable material, according to the company.
Consumers get involved by signing up for free. They are then paid to collect plastic bags, wrappers and packages and send them to TerraCycle using the company's shipping bags. In addition to partnering with Frito-Lay and Mars, TerraCycle is working on programs to upcycle packaging from select Kimberly Clark brands and re-purpose material from Aveeno.

A Car Loan Default does not only hurt your credit score, it also put a serious black mark on your financial status. There are certain measures, creditors take if you are failed to pay your payments on time. Some creditors immediately repossess you auto even if you miss one payment, while there are some who wait for some time and then repossess your car, if your due payments reach to three or four.
It is thus very much important that you should read the terms and all other documents before getting into a car loan agreement.
There are certain potential consequences of a car loan default that you should be aware of.
Car Repossession is a very common step taken by the creditor if you get into a car loan default. Some lenders seize the car without even giving you any advance notice.
Breach of Peace
In case your creditor commit a breach of peace when repossessing your car after your car loan default, then you can take your creditor to the court of compensation. This is normally done, when your creditor give you some harm in terms of physical injury or financial harm. You can even sue him for the difference between the amount you owe and the amount at which your creditor sells your car.
Usually, after your car loan default and the repossession, the creditor resells the car. Well this law varies place to place. Generally, the resell practice is done in public auction or a private sale. If in Public Auction, you can join, and bid to get your car back.
Debt Redemption
You can redeem your debt to save your car from reselling, but in that case, you will have to pay the total amount, along with the amount that was left on the debt when you went into your auto loan default. At times, you are liable to pay total cost like storage and the attorney fees, that is associated with the creditor having to repossess the car.
Reinstate the Loan
Some states allow you to reinstate your loan and then start over. you are just asked to pay the amount plus all the fees associated with the repossession, and you get your car back, while the remaining original loan payments, you keep on paying. However, then in future, you will have to be more alert in terms of your loan payments to avoid another loan default.

PITTSBURGH, PA (CNN) -- The odds of having identical twins is three in every 1,000 births worldwide. Apparently those odds apparently don't apply to Allderdice High School, because on their basketball team, seeing double is the norm.
Coach Buddy Valinsky said, "It's hard for me 'cause sometimes I really don't know which kid to yell at, and that's where the odd point is 'cause during the game they have a number, but still on the floor after the game I can't remember which one that really made a good play or made a bad play."
Don't worry coach, it's easy to get confused. Let's see there's Timmy and Jimmy, Kenny and Keith, Javaughn and Davaughn and the least confusing of the bunch, paternal twins Juwan and Jalen that crew makes up the budding high school following "twinsanity".
Twin Davaughn Moultrie said, "On the court it's a twin thing. I mean, we know our strengths, each other's strengths and it's fun."
On the court, it's not just the twins who get it done...there's a spectacular blend of supporting characters who make up this one-of-a-kind team, but there's just no denying how unbelievably rare, albeit cool, this collection of clones is.

There's really three sets of twins on my basketball team."
Javaughn added, "I mean we all can ball and come together. We know each other, we play with each other, we challenge each other, and we just love to be out there on the floor together. It's a blessing to be out there, just to play together, it's good."

Using the Recordset Object
The Recordset object provides methods for manipulating result sets. It allows you to add, update, delete, and scroll through rows in the recordset.
A Recordset object can be created using the Execute method of the Connection or Command object.
Each row in a recordset can also be retrieved and updated using the Fields collection and the Field object. Updates on the Recordset object can be in an immediate or batch mode. When a Recordset object is created, a cursor is opened automatically.
The Recordset object allows you to specify the cursor type and location for fetching the result set. With the CursorType property, you can specify whether the cursor is read-only, forward-only, static, keyset-driven, or dynamic. Cursor type determines if a Recordset object can be scrolled or updated and affects the visibility of changed rows. By default, the cursor type is read-only and forward-only.
An application can specify the location of the cursor with the CursorLocation property. This property allows you to specify whether to use a client or server cursor. The CursorLocation property setting is important when you use disconnected recordsets.
The first part of the cmdExecute_Click method in the ADO Introductory Visual Basic Sample shows an example of creating, opening, passing a command string variable to, and positioning the cursor in a recordset.

It's a Scientific Fact: Great White Sharks Love Metal!
Sharks literally crave the sound of low frequencies, as "the dense tones of heavy metal simulate the low frequencies of struggling fish.
Sharks literally crave the sound of low frequencies, as "the dense tones of heavy metal simulate the low frequencies of struggling fish.
Unearth will return in October with the new album 'Watchers of Rule' and a trek with Darkest Hour, Carnifex and more.
Darkest Hour's John Henry and Mike Schleibaum discuss the band's new self-titled album, their Mayhem Festival experience and more in this interview.
See our recap + photo gallery with Suicide Silence, Body Count, Mushroomhead, Cannibal Corpse and more at the 2014 Mayhem Festival in San Bernardino, Calif.
DevilDriver just picked up their second consecutive Death Match win with their cover of AWOLNATION's 'Sail.' The band stomped out Demon Hunter in our previous Death Match, but we've got stiff competition and nearly 20 years of experience coming their way.
Killswitch Engage are one of the most entertaining and energetic bands a metal music fan can see today, and they brought the house down earlier this week with a stellar performance at Best Buy Theater -- with support from Miss May I, Darkest Hour, the Word Alive and Affiance.
Following As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis' recent arrest on murder-for-hire charges, the metalcore act has chosen to vacate their support position on Killswitch Engage's North American summer tour. With As I Lay Dying pulling out of the tour, it has just been announced that AILD's spot has been filled by Darkest Hour along with Arizona metalcore act the Word Alive. Previously announced acts on the bill include Miss May I and Affiance.
Darkest Hour Guitarist Discusses Touring and More
One of metal's biggest tours hit New York City on Friday night (Feb. 7) with Machine Head, Suicide Silence and Darkest Hour nearly blowing the roof off the Best Buy Theater. This current leg of 'The Eighth Plague' tour is Machine Head's first true headlining tour in nearly five years -- and the NYC crowd welcomed them with rabid enthusiasm.
Iced Earth vanquished another foe in last week's Death Match, kicking rivals We Came As Romans to the curb. This marks Iced Earth's second Death Match win, bringing them two wins away from entering the Death Match Hall of Fame.

Seven million still lack shelter after Pakistan floods: UN
Islamabad (AFP) Oct 19, 2010
At least seven million people are still without shelter in Pakistan nearly three months after catastrophic floods devastated huge parts of the country, the United Nations said Tuesday.
Torrential monsoon rains began falling in northwestern Pakistan in July, causing floods that moved steadily south, wiping out villages and farmland and affecting an area roughly the size of England.
"At least seven million people are currently without shelter in the flood-affected areas," UN spokeswoman Stacey Winston told a news conference in Islamabad.
She said that the floods destroyed and damaged over 1.9 million homes.
The United Nations has issued a record two-billion-dollar appeal for funds to cope with the disaster, which UN agencies say affected 21 million people. Only around 35 percent of the appeal has already been funded.
Winston estimated that 14 million people were in need of immediate humanitarian assistance, saying that the United Nations distributed food rations among 2.5 million people this month in 39 flood-affected districts.

When assessing how much building insurance you require, be aware that you only need to insure the cost of rebuilding your home and not its market value.
If you live in a period house or unusual property, you should ensure that your cover is high enough to allow for rebuilding in the style of your home.
A common oversight occurs when homeowners extend their properties but forget to increase their buildings cover. In the event of a claim, a payout will only be made on the part of your house covered by insurance – a potentially costly error.
The rebuild cost of your home can be found on your home survey/buyer's report or you can work it out by using the house insurance rebuilding calculator on the Association of British Insurers' website.
When buying contents insurance, don't make the mistake of underestimating the worth of all your goodies such as CDs, DVDs, clothes, carpets, curtains, jewellery, electrical goods, bedding, books and kitchenware etc.
To work out how much contents insurance you need, make a list of the rooms in your house and under each heading write down all the items within them. And don't forget to pop outside and list garden ornaments, bicycles and items stored in the shed if you want these included in your cover.
Alternatively, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has a home contents value calculator to help you work out the value of your possessions.
Once you've made an inventory of your entire home's contents, total their worth to work out how much contents insurance protection you require.
Note: you should ideally value your home once a year, and always after redecoration or buying new, expensive items.
Always check what's included in the policy (see also small print). Some home contents insurance products cover certain items and circumstances at no extra charge whilst others only include them as additional extras. For example, 'high-risk' or 'high value' items may need to be listed separately and protected with additional/extended cover. These may include:
You can also extend policies to cover children away from home in university accommodation, or to cover the Christmas season when there may be more valuables in your home.

Meyer, Klaus E.; Jensen, Camilla (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The 1990s have been a period of extraordinary politics in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). This chapter discusses how the transition from state to market has created bureaucratic barriers to entry, but also windows of opportunity for foreign direct investment (FDI). The high costs and high investment risks associated with FDI in CEE are a reflection the institutional development. Thus, inflows of FDI have been largest in those countries that made most progress in establishing a market-oriented institutional framework. After outlining trends of institutional change and their impact on FDI, this chapter discusses how aspects of the institutional framework and FDI policy affect diverse types of investment projects. Acquisition and Greenfield investors are concerned with different aspects of government policy: privatization and regulatory policies for acquirers and investment incentives, regional policy and special economic zones for Greenfield investors. The shifting policy priorities have thus changed the types of projects undertaken by foreign investors in the region. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7106

Searching for impact in Mali and South AfricaJeppesen, Soeren; Mainguy, Claire (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Little is known about impact of FDI on economic development in Africa compared to other developing countries, which the paper seeks to address by focusing on examples of impact in Mali and South Africa. The arugment put forward is that the impact has to be identified at the level of the industry or sector and the level of the firm with regard to employment effect, income generation and skills development. The mining and electricity and railway sectors in Mali are investigated and compared to the automobile industry in South Africa. The paper ends with suggestions for future investigations which can shed more light on the pertinent issues about impact of FDI in Africa. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6760

Do We Observe "Creative Destruction" in China?Deng, Poul; Jefferson, Gary (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We adopt the framework of Schumpeterian creative destruction formalized by Aghion et al. (2009) to analyze the impact of foreign entry on the productivity growth of domestic firms. In the face of foreign entry, domestic firms exhibit heterogeneous patterns of growth depending on their technological distance from foreign firms. Domestic firms with smaller technological distance from their foreign counterparts tend to experience faster productivity growth, while firms with larger technological distance tend to lag further behind. We test this hypothesis using a unique firm-level data of Chinese manufacturing. Our empirical results confirm that foreign entry indeed generates strong heterogeneous growth patterns among domestic firms. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8594

Thomsen, Steen; Kronborg, Dorte (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Does foreign ownership enhance or decrease a firm's chances of survival? Over the 100 year period 1895-2001 this paper compares the survival of foreign subsidiaries in Denmark to a control sample matched by industry and firm size. We find that foreign-owned companies have higher survival probability. On average exit risk for domestic companies is 2.3 times higher than for foreign companies. First movers like Siemens, Philips, Kodak, Ford, GM or Goodyear have been active in the country for almost a century. Relative foreign survival increases with company age. However, the foreign survival advantage appears to be eroded by globalization, it decreases over time and disappears at the end of the century. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6624

Abstract: The aim of this dissertation is to identify how ideas of organisational development are incorporated into and employed in hospital departments. The dissertation focuses on the conceptions of professional identity among doctors and nurses, their conceptions of clinical practice and the ideas of development they are introduced to. The health professionals' conceptions of development and practice are connected to their perception of 'professional relevance' in the dissertation. This conception of 'professional relevance' thereby forms a recurring expression of conceptions among the actors. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7806

Abstract: The paper defines a base model of the airborne passenger traffic to and in Greenland showing the number of passengers on every non-stop connection. The type of airplane is defined for each route, and that determines the flying time. The number of connections and capacity utilization are fixed with due regard to the timetable of Air Greenland and the density of traffic on each route. Assumptions as to the cost per hour as a function of the duration of the flight are made for each aircraft. Applying this to different investment scenarios for airports and landing strips an index for the costs of supply of air traffic is found. Using this index the supplier's cost savings in the scenarios are found as a percentage of the relevant sale. A number of reports from recent years have information about the necessary investments in the scenarios, and matching these with the changes in costs permits the calculation of present values for the different projects. Apart from direct savings there are derived benefits in some of the scenarios the most prominent being the possibility to abandon Kangerlussuaq. The calculations include these indirect effects. Two scenarios have high present values: the use of Keflavik as hub, and the construction of a new airport with a 3000 meter runway south of Nuuk: two rather different scenarios, the first dominated by current savings, and the second dependent on a large fixed investment.

Humle, Didde Maria (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne afhandling er en artikelbaseret afhandling bestående af fire artikler og en kappe. Afhandlingen er et narrativt og etnografisk casestudie af, hvordan job- og personalekonsulenter i en specifik konsulentvirksomhed gennem arbejdspraksisfortællinger om selv, arbejde og organisation arbejder med at skabe mening og identitet (individuel, kollektiv og organisatorisk) i forhold til deres daglige arbejde og organisationen. Konsulenternes daglige arbejde er kendetegnet ved at være immaterielt videnarbejde (Alvesson, 2000; Ipsen, 2006), hvor både input (konsulenternes viden og erfaringer) og output (kandidater, kunder og samarbejdspartneres tilfredshed og fremdrift) er af en immateriel karakter. Herunder fremstår det centralt, at en stor del af arbejdet er at etablere og "være i" relationer til kandidater, kunder, virksomheder og samarbejdspartnere, og at konsulenterne er centrum for mange, til tider modsatrettede, krav og forventninger fra kunder, kandidater, kollegaer, ledelse osv.

Sammenhængende borgerforløb, innovation og partnerskaber i kommunale ledelsesindsatser på ældreområdetRyberg, Marie (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Antallet af ældre borgere og borgere med komplekse og kroniske sygdomme stiger i disse år, og kommunernes opgaver på ældreområdet er vokset og blevet mere specialiseret. Denne specialisering hænger dels sammen med den opgaveglidning, der sker i disse år fra sygehusene til kommunerne, eksempelvis fordi patienter udskrives tidligere fra hospitalerne. Desuden hænger specialiseringen sammen med en generel specialisering på sundhedsområdet, eksempelvis med fokuseringen på evidensbaserede indsatser. Endelig hænger specialiseringen sammen med bestræbelserne på at modernisere de styringsmæssige strukturer omkring ældreområdet. Disse moderniseringsbestræbelser tog for alvor fat i slutningen af 1990'erne ud fra idéer, der kan betegnes New Public Management. Her introducerede man fritvalgs-‐ordningerne, herunder BUM og lagde op til en standardisering af ydelserne gennem Fælles Sprog. Introduktionen af fritvalgs-‐ordningerne har flere steder betydet, at eksempelvis opgaver -‐ som eksempelvis rengøring i hjemmeplejen – er blevet fordelt ud til forskellige specialiserede aktører. Den øgede specialisering betyder, at ældreområdet i visse sammenhænge kan bære præg af en silostruktur. Her kan forskellige enheder, specialer, traditioner og sprog være konflikt med hinanden og opgaverne løses ikke altid mest optimalt. Denne rapport er et led i projekt, der handler om tværgående ledelse på ældreområdet. Projektet har fokus på ledere af medarbejdere med borgerkontakt i hjemmeplejen og pleje/omsorg. Og projektet sigter på "at udvikle velfærdsledelse, der sætter kerneopgaven i centrum og nedbryder formelle og uformelle grænser i opgaveløsningen" URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8874

Security sector reform in Sierra LeoneAlbrecht, Peter Alexander (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The thesis argues that security sector reform (SSR) has failed according to its own ambition of establishing a 'centrally governed state'. A primary reason for this failure is found in the concept of authority that state-building projects and much of the academic work that underpins it. Since the late 1990s, internationally supported efforts to make and consolidate peace in Sierra Leone have been synonymous with SSR. Support was given by the United Kingdom (UK) in particular to contain and ultimately overhaul the armed forces, which staged two coups in 1992 and 1997. Support was also provided to the central government to institute national security coordination and intelligence organizations, and to reestablish the Sierra Leone Police (SLP). The collapsed, but internationally recognized state was to be rebuilt, and security was seen as not only a prerequisite for this process to begin, but its very foundation. The first question of the thesis revolves around why the western universalist state concept came to guide SSR in Sierra Leone, and why it was considered of such fundamental importance to stability internationally. The second question revolves around how to conceptualize authority when actors such as paramount and lesser chiefs that may neither be categorized as state nor non-state are the primary makers of order in rural areas of the country. Speaking of the weakness or failure of a state is a way of describing what it is not, namely a centrally governed set of institutions that is able to make order within the territorial space that defines it. A focus on the state as an analytical concept does not, however, tell us much about how order is then made, and by whom it is made in Sierra Leone. The thesis rethinks what authority is in a way that does not privilege 'the state' as an analytical category, a tendency that has dominated much policy and academic thinking. The thesis' empirical basis of doing so is data relating to international policy-making processes, interviews among the key actors of Sierra Leone's SSR process, and ethnographic fieldwork in Peyima, a small diamond mining town in Kamara Chiefdom, Kono District. In a view of authority tied to 'the state' lies the conceptualization of a political entity, a bordered power container, which stands above, is detached from, and at the same time encompasses, controls and regulates society. In UK support of Sierra Leone's statebuilding efforts, the practices of traditional leaders and their productive effects in the justice and security field, and enforcing order, were acknowledged. However, failure to respond adequately to their central role in governing Sierra Leone's countryside came in two ways, both of which are related to concepts of the western universalist state that continue to guide SSR. The first failure was embedded in misrecognizing the resilience and productivity of local actors and institutions, and their authority to appropriate, interpret, translate and above all shape the elements of what was offered through SSR. The second failure came in not recognizing the hybrid nature of all actors in the justice and security field, based on the fact that they draw authority to act within the field from numerous sources across physical and symbolic space, in local and national domains. Hybridity is integral to state formation in Sierra Leone. It is foundational, and is historically grounded in the colonial era, articulating an infinite mixture of various forms of authority (from state legislation to status of autochthony and secret society membership). Inevitably, this order was reproduced by SSR, even if the aim of the international actors who supported this process of change had been to eradicate it. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8549

A more fearful adversary than Moriarty? Derren Brown seen on Sherlock Holmes set 'hypnotising Martin Freeman's Dr. Watson'
By EMMA GRITT
PUBLISHED: 09:07, 15 April 2013
It won't be long until fans find out just what happened to Sherlock Holmes after he leapt from the roof of St. Bart's Hospital, only to be seen watching his own funeral from the shadows.
But it seems like the brilliant sleuth isn't going to be the only highly intelligent and manipulative man viewers will be trying to work out when the BBC adaption of the popular stories return later this year.
Derren Brown was seen on the set of the third series of Sherlock Holmes, and insiders claim that his as yet unnamed character is responsible for hypnotising Martin Freeman's Dr. John Watson.
The cast and crew were filming for the third series at St. Bart's Hospital in London, which is where the dramatic scenes of the last episode The Reichenbach Fall, was set.
Viewers were left with their hearts in their mouths when Sherlock Holmes and his sworn enemy Jim Moriarty fought on the roof of the hospital, and socially awkward detective plunged seemingly to his death.
In these new scenes, believed to be following on immediately from Sherlock's dramatic fall, Freeman's Dr. Watson screams for Sherlock and runs to where he has fallen.
However, before he can get to his friend, played by Benedict Cumberbatch,he collapses to the ground.
He unsteadily gets to his feet, only to be met by a mysterious man in a hood, Brown's hypnotist.
Following the encounter, which lasts mere seconds, Watson once again collapses, and while he is unconscious, the mystery assailant changes his watch, moving it forwards by one hour.
Fans will be eager to know just what this means in regards to Sherlock faking his own death, a TV mystery of epic proportions.
Since the airing of the last episode in January 2012, people have been looking for clues about what happened to Holmes and how he pulled off his greatest scheme yet.
Fans will rejoin the story at an episode titled The Blind Banker, and it is not until the second episode that they will find out how Sherlock faked his own death.
The show's writers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat revealed that the title for the second episode is The Adventure Of The Empty Hearse, which is based on The Adventure Of The Empty House, the book with the answers to The Reichenbach Falls.
It is thought that this was the episode being filmed on Sunday, which means that Brown's character could well be based on Sebastian Moran, who in Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories was hailed as 'the second most dangerous man in London'.
Mark Gatiss, who also plays Sherlock's brother Mycroft, was seen speaking to the cast in between takes, perhaps to make sure they were fulfilling his ideas for the show.
Derren Brown, 42, cut a lead and mean figure, and certainly looked menacing in his hooded coat and shaved head.
On Sunday he tweeted: 'Home in London for some fun filming and a nuggly Monday watching DVDs. Tomorrow Northampton.'
But, there was an even scarier presence on set in the shape of Andrew Scott's Jim Moriarty, Sherlock's nemesis.
Super sleuth: Benedict Cumberbatch in character as Sherlock Holmes on set in London on Sunday
While it has been revealed that he will not feature prominently in the third series, there are clearly still some loose ends he needs to tie up before disappearing again.
Scott, 36, was wearing a well tailored navy blue suit and a pair of aviator sunglasses as he paraded around the set.
His on screen enemy, 36-year old Cumberbatch, was also seen in character as filming continued.
He was dressed in a typical Holmes style of overcoat and scarf, and was seen acting out the aftermath of his tragic leap.
The addition of Derren Brown to the cast might not surprise serious fans who remember Mark Gatiss saying that he thinks the TV hypnotist is the modern day equivalent of Sherlock.
Speaking to What's On TV, he said: 'There's a comparison between Sherlock and Derren Brown. They both say something outrageous and then show you how they worked it out.
'Sherlock can fit things together and make massive leaps. It's very exciting and when you think in his mindset you start to see things differently.'

"Noise Terrorists" Let Our Enemies Beware
Review Snapshot: Chatham (UK) based group Let Our Enemies Beware have been labelled a "Post Punk/ Rock Band" and have admirers with credentials, Zane Lowe among them. They describe themselves as "Noise Terrorists". As an album 'Against Karate' is as intriguing as it is tedious to listen to at times. Cluas Verdict? 6 out of 10 Full Review: "I am Lono" kicks the record off. It's a brash thumping affair with chunky bass lines and screeching vocals. They make no bones about they are about early on. It's not bad. It becomes clear after the short scream that is "Pow Right in the Kisser" (a reference to the old WWF commentator Gorilla Monsoon), that LOEB are not a punk band. If anything there is more of a heavy metal feel. The visceral rhythm section coupled with the meticulously delivered lead guitar drive this home on "Personal Space Invaders", perhaps the best song on the album. The screeching vocals throughout the album can eventually grate the listener a little. However there are some fine tracks on offer regardless. "Between Us and the Sun" is an example of the band's merits and how all forces can pull together. A thunderous penetrative rhythm section powers as the undertone to clean guitar picking, with a haunting vocal overtone. Musically it goes from meek to outright aggression in an instance and personifies the band's visceral approach to their music. This is where the album becomes a little long in that the familiar sound of the songs catches up. With only nine tracks on the record it's snappy but the songs begin to repeat each other. This is the biggest drawback of the album. Perhaps LOEB should have considered an EP with choice tracks from this collection as many of the songs sound like variations of the other. "Momento Mori", the final track on the album runs at 8 minutes 14 second. It's a long, long way to end the record. All in all, LOEB show signs of promise and are very competent musically. More time should be spent crafting the songs and perhaps a taste of different sounds and influences may help them on their way. 'Against Karate' is as intriguing as it is tedious to listen to at times. Try for yourself.

Short-Lived Shows: The Mole
The concept of the show was quite smart... A group of individuals went through a series of mental and physical challenges to win a cash prize. The catch was that one of the players was a double agent (the Mole) hired by the show to discreetly sabotage the group (the players were aware that there was an impostor in their midst, though). At the end of each episode, each player would complete a quiz on what they knew about the identity of the Mole, and the person with the lowest score was booted from the show, until there were only three people left (the Mole, the winner, and a loser). There were various clues about the Mole's identity scattered through the show for the viewer to pick up, but I always found those to be totally far-fetched (in one episode, Anderson was eating an apple, the fruit of the Mole's home state... Yeah, like anyone caught that).
The program lasted for only two seasons before jumping into the dreaded realm of "celebrity reality" with a bunch of B-listers as the players. Plus, the two celebrity seasons weren't hosted by Anderson, but Ahmad Rashad. Big downer. The show might as well have not existed those final two seasons because barely anyone saw it.
Although a few reality shows are getting more clever and using more complex methods, I haven't seen anything of the same caliber as The Mole. I'm beginning to lose faith in reality TV again (if Project Runway wasn't still around, I'd switch off the genre permanently), so I'd really like to have this show back again. Anderson hosting once more would be a bonus, but I suppose he's too busy being a proper newsman and all.

Europe Is Not Waging a "Currency War" Against the U.S.
January 23, 2015
Not even close.
The Rumors of the Euro's Demise Are Greatly Exaggerated
December 13, 2011
Another month, another EU Summit. And once again, markets are judging the compromise as, at best, incomplete—at worst, disastrously insufficient. On top of everything else, the new agreement has managed to formally isolate Britain from the other 26 EU member states. (British euroskeptics are applauding their country's newfound estrangement, but more considered commentators realize the situation is fraught.) So is Europe ultimately doomed to all that jazz about euro breakup and financial apocalypse? Not quite.

Aside from the common cough and colds, industrial practicing physicians or occupational physicians reports that Migraines and Headaches are the common complaint of employees causing a productive loss to the employers. Pharmacological treatments are rampant, but people nowadays prefer the non-traditional treatment. They prefer the complementary and alternative treatment.
Stress-reduction is usually the goal of this non-traditional treatment. Clinical trials and researches are being made nowadays. So if you are a person who usually suffers from headache and migraines, here are some tips we can give you:
Stress Management
A growing trend in the non-traditional realm of medicine is stress management. Anxiety causing events are listed. And therapist or a counsellor often advises the client to avoid this list to avoid having migraines. Anti-depressant can also be prescribed if necessary. Studies have shown that combination of the stress management mixed with anti-depressant medication shows best promise. Mix this with proper diet, sleep and rest.
Insertion of fine solid needles on certain body points is acupuncture. With the proper insertion to this meridian body points, it ignites the body's ability to resist stress – resulting to decrease incidence of headache. Acupuncture is highly commendable in correcting energy imbalances. Chinese tradition shows that chi, energy name on Chinese literature, is disrupted by stress and other factors. So with acupuncture, it restores ones' physical, mental, and emotional health. Acupuncture also stimulates brain to release chemical mediators and neurotransmitters to back up the body's' defences on stress. This is recognized by the World Health Organization.
One of the common great and splendid ways to relax and reduce stress is thru massage. Massage relaxes the tension of different muscle groups of the body; thereby increasing blood flow to these areas. With this release of tension, it relieves the headache and migraine a person is suffering.
Herbs and Essential Oils
Only Feverfew, a popular herb remedy, has been tested and showed mild promise in the non-traditional treatment for headache and migraines. Studies have shown that it only contains mild side effects. With the use of extracts, and good-smelling oils Aromatherapy has been a prevalent approach. Aromatherapy causes alteration on the pain perception and promotes relaxation for the part of the individual. These oils can also be applied on the skin. Peppermint, ginger and lavender are the usual extracts being used.
Biofeedback is a type of treatment in which a patient will be educated on graphs, numbers and the like. Vital components of a person such as blood pressure, electrical activity of the heart and brain, muscle tension are measured. Electrodes, sensors and assortments are attached to a person and are displayed on a screen. Stress response can induce constriction of blood vessels, while dilation occurs on relaxation. So with proper training and education, a person can influence blood flow as seen in the panel screen resulting to a better management for headaches. Most studies conclude that frequency and duration decrease on control groups.
