Scope and Content Note
The Pejepscot Proprietors records document the legal and financial activities of this company of investors in Maine land in the late 17th to the early 19th centuries. This collection contains letters and documents which relate to the personal affairs of the Little family as well as with the affairs of the Bakerstown Proprietors. The collection has been organized into 12 series.
Series I. Title to Pejepscot Lands: Chain of Title into Pejepscot Proprietors contains copies of deeds, affidavits, and other documents, including deeds from the Sagamore Indians, showing the chain of title of the various parcels of land comprising the Pejepscot claim. These documents were amassed in the process of litigation in the case of Commonwealth v. Pejepscot Proprietors and Commonwealth v. Josiah Little, Jr., in which the Proprietors' title to the extent of lands claimed was challenged by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on behalf of other land companies and individual settlers. Documents in box 1 folder 3 deal with a settlement of a boundary dispute between the Pejepscot Proprietors and the Kennebec Company, successors in interest to a tract of land originally ceded to the Plymouth Company in 1758. Please not that many of these documents are certified copies of the originals, and thus have multiple dates: the date of the original document, and the dates of copying and certification. In general, they are arranged according to the date of the original document, in order to provide a chronology in the chain of title.
Series II. Commonwealth of Massachusetts Bay v. Pejepscot Proprietors and Commonwealth of Massachusetts Bay v. Josiah Little contains writs, pleadings, petitions, arguments, and witness depositions in the two cases dealing with the extent of the Pejepscot lands. The issue in each of the two cases was the same: whether the outermost boundary of the Pejepscot claim, designated in a deed from the Sagamore Indians to Richard Wharton (predecessor in title to the Pejepscot Proprietors) as the "Great Falls" or the "uppermost falls" on the Androscoggin River, was intended to mean the "Ten Mile Falls" or the "Twenty Mile Falls" or, as the Proprietors claimed, the falls later called the Rumsford Falls. The Commonwealth's claim to all Pejepscot land above the "Ten Mile Falls" was precipitated by competing land companies also speculating in Maine land. The origin of these lawsuits and the connection with the Commonwealth v. Bakerstown are laid out in detail in an undated summary in folder 4 of box 1. The petitions, pleadings, depositions, summaries, and decisions which comprise the litigation and arbitration documents are not always clear as to whether they pertain to Commonwealth v. Pejepscot Proprietors with Josiah Little as its agent to to Commonwealth v. Josiah Little, individually.
Included in folders 6 and 7 of box 1 are depositions of witnesses, stating their knowledge of the actual extent of the Pejepscot claim and the location of the "Great Falls." Of particular interest are the witnesses' accounts of personal attacks upon Pejepscot agents and surveyors in their attempts to subdivide the land to stop destruction of valuable timber by squatters and settlers.
It should be noted that some of the documents used in the course of litigation are dated prior to the dates of the actual court case. These are early documents that were probably gathered or copied in support of the Pejepscot claim. Other later depositions relate to the valuation of ands and were used in the post-judgment monetary settlements.
Series III. Proceedings, Accounts, and Travel Journals of the Pejepscot Proprietors includes official notices of Company meetings, the form, timing, and posting of which were regulated by the provincial and later the state government, minutes of the meetings, and company accounts, bill, and receipts. These are arranged chronologically. Minutes of the meetings are particularly interesting, setting forth the decision of the Company as to town founding, law suits, and other important matters. Box 2 folder 3 contains journals and expense accounts kept by Josiah Little as agent for the Pejepscot Proprietors. Little gives an account of a nighttime attack on the house in which he was staying in Durham, Maine (box 2, folder 4, September 8, 1800). Guns were fired into the house and stones thrown through the window, presumably by those opposed to the surveying and settlement of the land.
Series IV. Miscellaneous Journals and Accounts; Activities in Eastern Lands includes individual account books and details of journeys taken to "eastern lands," (i.e. Maine). Some of these journals and accounts are those kept by members of the Little family on behalf of the family business. Others describe business or trips on behalf of the Pejepscot Proprietors, although not specifically noted. The journals illustrate the time spent, and expenses for lodging, food, and other costs of these journeys.
Series V. Plans and Surveys is housed in an oversize box (4). Of particular importance is a map in folder 1, dated 1764, which delineates the entire original Pejepscot Claim before competing claims led to protracted litigation and changed boundaries. The map also shows the supposed southerly line of the Kennebec Company's claim. Other maps in folder 1 show divisions of land to the individual proprietors along a portion of the Androscoggin River. Many of the plans and sketches in this series have no labeling or dates and the locations cannot be easily ascertained.
Series VI. Land Transactions, Taxes, and Town Proceedings includes not only deeds, but mortgage instruments and secured bonds, some leases, some records and receipts for work done by settlers in lieu of payment of their parcels of land, tax rolls, and other documents in connection with land ownership and land transfers. In some cases, folders include the proceedings of the towns with regard to petitions to the state for road building and other infrastructure matters. These documents are divided by town names. Within each folder the documents are arranged in chronological order. It is not clear whether the towns represented in the collection were originally in, or remained in, that area of the original Pejepscot Claim. Of particular interest are the notices of public vendue, i.e. foreclosure and sales of property for non-payment of taxes or fees. In many cases the foreclosures were initiated by the Pejepscot Proprietors, or by the Littles as creditors, and were bought at public auction by the Proprietorship or by individual proprietors such as Josiah Little,
Series VII. William and Andrew Rogers Accounts contains accounts and receipts of these successful merchants; William was an early settler of Shapleigh, Maine. Box 9 folder 10 contains the "receipt book," of Captain William Rogers, in which payment of debts made to Rogers and by Rogers to his own creditors, is documented.
Series VIII. Hayes and Cogswell Papers contains the accounts and correspondence of both William Allen Hayes and Charles Northend Cogswell in connection with their law practice. Box 10 folder 5 is primarily composed of legal writs issued by Cogswell in his role as Justice of the Peace in South Berwick. When Cogswell died in 1843, William A. Hayes was executor of his estate. Some papers from the settlement of the estate are in box 10 folder 7. Of particular interest are documents in connection with the proposed extension of the Boston and Maine Railroad (box 10, folder 8). The bound volume in box 11 folder 2 was actually used by Charles Northend Cogswell as a docket book, dated June 1830. The last few documents, dated 1836, substitute the name "Frederic Cogswell" for Northend Cogswell."
Series IX. Miscellaneous Bills and Receipts includes some accounts in which Josiah Little or other members of the Little family area a party, but the majority of the accounts show no obvious relationship to either the Pejepscot Proprietors or the Little Family.
Series X. Miscellaneous Litigation contains an assortment of writs, pleadings, depositions and settlements on a variety of issues ranging from land disputes, trespass, probate, debt, and "action on the case," the "catch-all" writ which could cover a variety of issues. Most of the cases were in York County, Maine, and Cumberland County, Maine. However, the contents of box 14 folder 4 include papers from New Hampshire courts and other jurisdictions.
Series XI. Miscellaneous Documents includes different types of legal documents, which have been sorted into various categories. Most of the documents do not reveal any particular connection with the Pejepscot Proprietors or the Little family. Some of the documents in box 15 folder 6 are of particular interest, concerning running the boundary line between Maine and New York, and also the separation of the District of Maine from Massachusetts, Included in this folder is an announcement of the poll tax for the town of Robbinston, Maine for the year 1826. A complaint by the Great Fall Manufacturing Company (box 15 folder 9) filed with the Superior Court of New Hampshire against Salmon Falls Manufacturing Company of New Hampshire, illustrates the competition for water power and riparian rights among the proliferating textile mills of New England.
Series XII. Little Family Letters contains letters dealing primarily with business matters and management of the Little family's large land holdings. Management of business was mostly delegated to Josiah's sons, Edward and Josiah, Jr.
Biographical Sketches
Moses Little was born on May 8, 1724, in Newbury, Massachusetts. He married Abigail Bailey and the couple had ten children, eight daughters and two sons, Moses and Josiah. For several years prior to American independence he served as "Surveyor of the King's Wood," marking those trees coveted by the British Navy as suitable for ships' masts. He was the agent and shareholder of the Bakerstown Proprietors, another company with large holdings in Maine, as well as having a major interest in the Pejepscot Proprietors. He also had large land holding in other areas. He died on May 27, 1798.
Josiah Little, elder surviving son of Moses and Abigail Little, was born on February 16, 1747. As agent of the Pejepscot Proprietors and Bakerstown Proprietors, he managed the real estate holdings and affairs of both companies, as well as his own and the Little family's extensive lands and business interest. He was a representative in the General Court of Massachusetts for nineteen consecutive years, as well as six additional years served at various times. He married Sarah Toppan on March 23, 1770. His three sons, Michael, Edward, and Josiah Jr., were engaged in managing the affairs of their father. Josiah died on December 26, 1830.
Edward Little, son of Josiah Little, was born on March 12, 1773. He trained as an attorney with Chief Justice Theophilus Parsons, practiced in Newbury, Massachusetts, and also served as representative to the Massachusetts legislature for several years. He later moved to Portland, Maine. Much of his time was spent in managing his father's business affairs and land holdings in Maine and other areas. He was also involved in the growth of several Maine industries. He married Hannah Brown, and after her death in 1828, married Hannah Chase. He died on September 21, 1849.
William Allen Hayes was born on October 20, 1783, in North Yarmouth, in the Maine district of Massachusetts. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1805 and studied law with several Maine lawyers. He was admitted to the bar in 1809, and opened an office in South Berwick, Maine. In 1817, he took on Charles N. Cogswell as a partner. He was president of the South Berwick Bank, president of the Bar of York County, and from 1828-1847, judge of probate for York County. He married Susan Lord in 1828. Hayes died in 1851.
Charles Northend Cogswell was born on April 24, 1797, in Berwick, Maine. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1814, and studied law with William Allen Hayes, entering into partnership with him in 1817, when Cogswell was admitted to the bar. He was a state senator from 1833 to1834. He was twice married, first to Elizabeth Hill, then to Margaret E. Russell, with whom he had one son. He died at the age of 47 on October 11, 1843.
The Pejepscot Proprietors, formed for the sole purpose of land speculation, was organized in 1714/15 by a group of eight merchants, who purchased, as tenants in common, a large tract of land in the Maine district of Massachusetts Bay. The company (called a "Proprietorship") could sell and transfer shares and would finally divide the land among the shareholders according to their relative interests. The company existed as an entity separate from its shareholders, able to own property, and sue and be sued, in its own name.
The tract of land had been amassed by Richard Wharton, and then sold by the administrator of his estate, Ephraim Savage of Boston, in order to liquidate Wharton's debts. Much of the land had originally been acquired through a series of purchases from local Native American tribes. However, the boundaries of these purchased tracts were not precisely described in the deeds and would come into question many years later.
In 1714, the Massachusetts General Court passed a resolution that "it was for the public interest that some townships be laid out and settled in the eastern country." In order to have some record of land ownership, and also probably to establish some control over patterns of settlement, a committee was appointed to receive and review the claims of all persons asserting ownership of tracts in the "eastern lands." In 1715, upon the petition of the Pejepscot Proprietors, and the acceptance of a set of conditions as to patterns of settlement, provision of a meeting house, initial exemption from provincial taxes, etc., the committee reported favorably upon the Pejepscot claim, and the Company's ownership of its purchased territory was validated. The Proprietorship began to lay out townships and distribute parcels of land.
A large portion of the Proprietorships' lands were to be divided among the shareholders, who would then subdivide the large tracts and sell the parcels, although it appear that some land was retained by the Company. As in modern day business entities, the identity and number of shareholders changed over the years. Members of the Little family of Newburyport, Massachusetts, among others, were shareholders of the Company and grantees of the divided Pejepscot lands.

Ullo! Trying to fit in some sketches before the christmas break! This here is a cat taking her robotic pet for a walk (I don't think she has many real friends). It was originally a boy holding it, but I didn't like how he was progressing.
Next was a lunch sketch of a mate of mine, John :) (I'd been browsing the Facebook).
And fiiiiiinally, here's one of the new Crysis 2 screenshots released! I designed the initial sketches and composition. Hopefully I'll get to post more in the next few months :)

While the good done by vaccines rarely makes the news, the last year has been a big one in vaccination progress. Rubella, a viral infection that leads to birth defects and miscarriage in pregnant women, was eliminated from the Americas around this time last year with more progress being made worldwide on eliminating it entirely. While fear of ebola was swirling this time last year, significant steps have been made towards a vaccine that will go through trials this year to prevent the infection. Finally, trials have also started this year for dengue and malaria vaccines, two of the world's deadliest infections. But while you might not be affected by rubella, ebola, or dengue, chances are good you know someone who's had shingles, pneumonia, or cervical cancer. It's World Immunization Week and I want to bring you up to speed on how you could be using vaccines to keep you and your loved ones healthy.
Vaccines Have Major Impact on the Health of Kids
Most of our vaccinations happen when we're children and for good reason. These immunizations provide a baby's developing immune system with a head start on some of the most common invaders it will struggle to fight off. The impact of these early shots has been incredible in some cases. Haemophilus influenza Type b (Hib), for example, used to cause pneumonia, serious throat infections, and a potentially deadly brain infection in thousands of children across the U.S. Since we started vaccinating kids with the Hib vaccine, cases have dropped more than 99 percent and Hib is no longer an issue many pediatricians deal with. The vaccine against pertussis, also known as whooping cough, caused that potentially deadly illness to almost disappear until recent trends towards avoiding vaccines caused it to crop up again in unvaccinated children.
While you might still hear a lot of debate about the health benefits of vaccines in the media, there's very little debate within medical and public health communities. Immunizations have saved the lives of millions of people and carry little risk compared to the complications from and treatments for those diseases. They continue to be one of the best methods we've developed to prevent childhood illness and death.
Adults Can Reap Big Benefits From Shots
While it's true that you get most of your shots as a child, vaccines are also important for adults.
The Flu: The flu vaccine is the best method we have of preventing flu infections, reducing the spread of the flu, and of decreasing the severity of symptoms. Even though the flu vaccine isn't 100 percent protective every year, it still helps save the lives of thousands of people by helping to prevent infection in some of the most vulnerable people in society. If you're eligible to get the flu vaccine, you should be getting it every year to protect yourself and those you love.
Shingles: Shingles, which is caused by the same virus that leads to chicken pox, can be a big concern in people over age 60. The virus sleeps in your body after the original chicken pox infection and can wake up as your immune system starts to weaken with age. That reawakening can lead to life threatening pneumonia, a rash that can have serious consequences depending on where it happens, and a chronic pain syndrome that can be disabling. Getting the vaccine once you're over 60 helps double down your protection against the Zoster virus, which that causes shingles, so that it stays asleep.
Pneumonia: Finally, vaccines are available for some of the most common causes of pneumonia. If you're over 65, you're at high risk of infection and automatically eligible to get these shots. But you can still be eligible even if you're under 65 and have certain risk factors:
- Chronic heart disease including congestive heart failure
- Lung disease such as asthma, emphysema, or COPD
- Being an alcoholic
- Having diabetes
- Being a smoker
If you fall into any of those categories, talk to your doctor about whether the pneumonia vaccine could be helpful for you. Getting the shot could save you a trip to the hospital and even save your life.
Cervical Cancer: Human papilloma virus (HPV) is the virus behind the majority of cervical cancer, anal cancer, and penile cancer cases. The vaccine against it has already started to show dramatic benefits amongst men and women who get the vaccine in the form of lower cancer rates and fewer concerning findings on Pap smears amongst women. While the vaccine is targeted more towards children to prevent infection early on, adults up to 26 years old can get the vaccine and potentially save themselves from deadly cancer in the future.
More: What to Know About the HPV Vaccine
Make Sure You're Protected
Even if you're not over 65 and not at risk for pneumonia, it's still important to ask your doctor about whether you're up to date with all of your immunizations since immunity for certain childhood shots can decrease over time. The tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine is a one example that requires a booster every 10 years. In addition, there may be some vaccines you missed as a kid that you can still get or might now need because of a new diagnosis. Those with diabetes, for example, should be vaccinated against hepatitis B because they're at higher risk of serious complications.
Ultimately, who needs which shot at what time can be confusing. Rather than trying to guess what you need, it's best to go in and have the conversation with your primary care doctor. They can walk you through your risk factors and help you weigh the pros and cons of getting a vaccine at any age. The CDC also has lots of information that can help answer questions you might have about vaccines and whether they're right for you and your loved ones.

Chinese New Year: A toast to Tiger
There won't be any ball drops on Saturday night, and thankfully, no one trying to decipher what Dick Clark is saying. Yet more than a billion people on the planet will be celebrating and partying as another year begins anew. The Year of the Tiger, 4708, begins this weekend (and no, it's not sponsored by Accenture). As cocktail waitresses around the country raise a glass, serious Chinese restaurants will be serving special meals for at least a week. In Chicago, it seems as if there are at least one or two new restaurants each year that are willing to go the extra mile -- both within and beyond Chinatown -- and provide at least a starter's guide to savoring the holiday like an ex-pat.
Most dishes that are served during New Year celebrations have some type of special significance or symbolic importance. The dishes will typically contain an ingredient that correlates to a word or phrase, for example: a wish of wealth and a prosperous new year -- gung hay fat choi -- is translated as black sea moss with smoked, dried oysters. "Joyful laughter" = walnut shrimp; "birds of happiness welcome the spring" = roasted squab.
Chinatown's Chamber of Commerce always dominates the New Year's celebrations every year, kind of like Steven Colbert hogging airtime from his guests. It's hard not to: you've got a killer location, an ancient-looking pagoda on Wentworth and dozens of regional Chinese dishes all within a few blocks.
But this year, a number of other restaurants are getting in on the act. Big Bowl is featuring a special menu; so is Sunda and Ben Pao.There's also going to be an Argyle Street Chinese New Year's Parade in Uptown, a week after the big one in Chinatown. This area is sometimes referred to as "New Chinatown." Perhaps that's a response to the fact that Vietnam also goes by the Lunar calendar as well. Their holiday -- known as Tet -- also begins on February 14 this year. The Vietnamese also have symbolic dishes they traditionally serve during Tet: Banh chung' and' Banh tet are essentially tightly-packed sticky rice cakes with pork or mung bean fillings wrapped in banana leaves. These two items represent Heaven and Earth. You can also find a sweet version of Banh tet with plantain filling.
Now don't get me wrong, I think it's a fine idea to have another parade for the North Side, but isn't having a Chinese New Year's parade on Argyle kind of like throwing a Hannukah Potato Latke festival on Devon? I mean, there are some Jews up there, but it's kind of dominated by Indians and Pakistanis. Same thing on Argyle: you've got tons of Vietnamese joints, a handful of Asian markets and just one predominant Chinese restaurant: Sun Wah BBQ. The restaurant recently moved to larger digs around the corner, on Broadway, and they're especially excited about this year's parade since they've arranged to have a marching band, floats, both lion and dragon dancers as well as a first for the area: official firecrackers. At the restaurant, they're planning on offering a 10-course blowout menu, with every dish relating to some type of traditional saying or New Year's wish, including such timeworn phrases as: "Good luck at the forefront!" (fried chicken); "May you have a house filled with pearls" (fried rice) and "may we have family unity this year?" (pan-fried cake). Chinatown's Parade: On Wentworth from 24th St. to Cermak Rd. Parade step-off time is 1 p.m., although there are other activities starting as early as 11:30 a.m. Argyle St. Parade: Feb. 20, 11:30 a.m.

The Philosophy Smoker
Higher education has been a focus of the Foundation's grantmaking since the Foundation's very first grant in 1936 to Yenching University in Beijing. He considers education the greatest thing in human life as he mention in his book the one great thing". EWU's program is first-rate, and the skills and education I obtained prepared me well, academically and clinically. More than 40 percent of the Commonwealth's economy centers on jobs in STEM fields, including advanced manufacturing, information technology, and biotech.
Contribution of Plato in scientific subject is little but his ideas on education inspired his followers to explore new dimension in education. The Trump administration has sent mixed signals, reflecting an internal debate about whether to stabilize insurance markets or let them deteriorate further.
Submissions should meet ACT standards () and will be subject to double-blind peer review. We make sure that our partners are front and center when a prospective student begins their higher education search. Audiences for those ceremonies are proudly watching their friends and family members receive their degree—but for those who don't graduate, their debt loads and dashed hopes paint a much darker picture of American higher education.
For the purpose of education Plato travel to Egypt and Italy, there he learnt mathematics. If you are a designated HECA liaison for your respective association, please make sure to review the web site and submit any edits by May 24, 2017. The 2017 ranking includes 200 institutions, up from 150 in 2016 and 100 in previous years.
Find news, insights, resources and a positive platform for discussion about current issues and trends in higher education. According to Plato the education of child should be start at the age of seven year and before this stage the child should stay with their mother or elders and learn moral education from them.

Style lessons: How to nail Indian wear like Rani Mukerji
Rani Mukerji has made it to the upper echelons of the movie industry with a rulebook penned by no one but her. And it's the same with her sartorial choices. So while the rest of B-town has been busy experimenting with the latest trends in town, Mukerji has stuck to making a mark with Indian looks that always bring out her best. Vogue digs deep into her effortless traditional repertoire and emerges with some lessons.
Lesson #1: When in doubt, wear Sabyasachi Master couturier Sabyasachi Mukherjee is the actress' go-to sartorial fairy godmother. She has never taken a fashion misstep when dressed by the designer. And when it is a simple but statement making all red look with minimal accessories, we can only wish we had Sabyasachi on speed dial too.
Lesson #2: Stock up on prints Prints can take your repertoire from drab to fab in a matter of seconds— with oversized blooms on her kurta, Mukerji seems to be in on this secret.
Lesson #3: Sari blouses 2.0 are on-point The sari blouse is reclaiming its spot in the limelight, emerging as an effortless way to update an old drape. We're totally digging Mukerji's three-quartered sleeve shirt-style version.
Lesson #4: Head-to-toe gold for the win A restrained yet royal head-to-toe gold look is the traditional wear colour of the season, one that our cover girl sports with inimitable flair. Finish the look with red lips.
Lesson #5: Go for geek chic with a twist Whoever said oversized spectacles are reserved only for hipster-ready looks clearly hasn't seen the actress rocking her cat-eye pair with an embellished sari. Follow suit, we say, no other accessories required.
Lesson #6: Embrace cinched Indian wear Cinched waists are slimming and infinitely chic, and need not be restricted just to your skater dresses. Case in point: Mukerji at the Vogue Beauty Awards this year. The leather belt gave her ethnic maxi just the right finishing touch, the only add-on the look needed.
Lesson #7: Add a bindi It's lamentable that not enough women give into the charms of the glorious bindi. Thankfully Mukerji is not one of them. A bright red dot on her forehead has become something of her signature and we love it!
Lesson #8: Say yes to the veritable charm of an intricate dupatta Instead of being bogged down by an overtly embellished anarkali, simply throw on a head-turning dupatta to up your game, just like the actress often does. Invest in a couple of neutral anarkalis to mix and match.
Lesson #9: Keep it simple with nude lips When your outfit is as bright as Indian wear normally is, don't add bold make-up that will unnecessarily fight for attention. Basic nude lips will maintain the balance and do the trick.
Lesson #10: Remember white is always right Mukerji has been sporting white saris and suits long before the colour became the most coveted trend of the season. Wear a Lucknowi salwar with silver tribal jewellery or add a pop of colour to your white sari via a coloured blouse.

Hibernoma: a case series with multimodality imaging and pathologic correlation.
Case 1
A 48-year-old female presented with a palpable, non-tender, slow growing mass in the right thigh. The patient had noticed the mass 18 months earlier, and it gradually increased in size. On physical examination, a mass was palpable on the lateral aspect of her distal thigh. This was firm, and nontender to palpation. No overlying warmth or erythema was noted, and no lymphadenopathy was found. The patient had no neurological deficit but reported experiencing a pressure sensation in her lower right leg.
Radiographs demonstrated no radiographic evidence of periosteal reaction, osseous scalloping, or cortical breach. A faintly radiolucent ovoid lesion could be perceived. No internal mineralization could be identified (Fig. 1).
Ultrasound revealed a 10.5 x 3.8 x 6.3 cm (craniocaudal by anterior-posterior by transverse, respectively) encapsulated, smoothly-contoured mass within the vastus intermedius muscle. This mass closely abutted the femur. The mass was homogenously hyperechoic relative to the surrounding musculature and subcutaneous fat with echogenic through-transmission. There was intralesional internal vascularity but no calcification and limited proximal muscular edema (Figs. 2 and 3).
The MRI confirmed the presence of an intramuscular, lipomatous mass with comparable dimensions (11.8 cm CC x 3.4 cm AP x 5.4 cm TR). This was well-circumscribed. The mass was homogenously hyperintense to musculature but slightly hypointense relative to the subcutaneous fat on T1-weighted sequences (Fig. 4A). There was incomplete suppression of the intralesional signal in comparison to subcutaneous fat on PD FS (Fig. 4B), and this distinction from subcutaneous fat was more strikingly notable on STIR sequences. While the background signal intensity of the lesion became only slightly hyperintense, there were several internal hyperintense, curvilinear structures, which were contiguous with vessels (Fig. 4C). On postcontrast scans, there was diffuse, slightly heterogeneous, low-level enhancement and enhancement of internal vessels (Fig. 4D).
On gross pathology, the rubbery yellow homogeneous mass while being well circumscribed did not possess a true capsule. There were a few thin fibrous septae. There was no concern for atypia or invasion. On microscopy multi-vacuolated brown tumor cells were identified between mature univacuolated adipocytes (Fig. 4E).
Case 2
A 32-year-old female with a history of neurofibromatosis presented with right knee pain of uncertain etiology. Initial radiographs and MRI (not shown) of the area did not identify a specific cause; however, a bone scan was suggested to further evaluate nonspecific marrow heterogeneity. A dedicated MRI of the buttock was recommended based on the nuclear medicine findings.
On the blood pool study, there was soft tissue hyperemia localized to the left buttock; an MRI was recommended to further evaluate this (Fig. 5).
On MRI, there was a large, well-circumscribed lipomatous mass deep to the gluteus maximus muscle. This was extramuscular with no intrapelvic extension. The mass measured 9.6 cm CC x 9.7 cm TR x 3.4 cm AP. On T1 there was slight hypointensity relative to subcutaneous fat (Fig. 6A). On T2 fat saturated sequence, there was near complete suppression of signal and persistent flow voids (Fig. 6B). Postcontrast, there was subtle diffuse enhancement with avid enhancement of vessels (Fig. 6C). No grossly concerning septae, invasion, or nodular component was appreciated.
Case 3
A 66-year-old male presented with a 2 year history of large, painless left thigh mass that is firm but non-tender to palpation.
On ultrasound, there was a large circumscribed hyperechoic mass within the subcutaneous tissue (Fig. 7). Doppler confirms vascularity within the lesion (not shown). The mass measures 14.8 cm x 10.8 cm x 6.7 cm.
On MRI, there was an encapsulated mass in the subcutaneous tissue of the left medial thigh. Several presumed vascular structures were noted within it. There was no invasion of the adjacent musculature. On T1-weighted images, the mass was minimally hypointense to adjacent subcutaneous fat (Fig. 8A). On PD fat saturated images, there was a thin uniform capsule with incomplete fat saturation (Fig. 8B). Postcontrast, there was mild diffuse background enhancement, thin septal enhancement, and enhancement of the central vessels (Fig. 8C).
The lesion was resected under the presumed diagnosis of low-grade liposarcoma or atypical lipoma. On gross dissection the mass was homogeneous yellow adipose tissue with small fibrous septations. It had a thin capsule with no extracapsular extension. Microscopy revealed eosinophilic, multi-vacuolated brown fat cells interspersed with mature adipocytes. This was devoid of atypia, necrosis, or invasion (Fig. 9).
Velsch was the first investigator to recognize the distinction between brown and white adipose tissue. (2) In 1906, Merkel used the term "pseudolipoma" to describe benign brown fat tumors. (3) In 1914, the actual term hibernoma was coined when Gery recognized a histologic resemblance between these tumors and the brown fat identified in hibernating animals. (4) Due to the abundance of mitochondria and its high vascularity, brown fat is hypothesized as contributing to the non-shivering thermoregulation of hibernating animals and newborn humans. (5) Brown fat gradually diminishes in volume from infancy and compromises less than 0.1% of total body weight by 70 years of age. (6) Recent 18F-FDG PET studies indicate the persistence of brown fat in the neck, in the thorax, between the subscapularis and pectoralis muscles, around the brachial plexus, and in a paraspinal distribution. (7) PET imaging is useful in the scenario of the commonly encountered lipomatous lesion because it may distinguish the simple lipomas that have only minimal metabolism from those lesions that may have a higher metabolic rate such as hibernomas and malignant liposarcomas.
Hibernoma is a rare, benign tumor, with less than 200 cases reported in the literature. (8) They are usually seen in the third to fifth decades of life but can occur at any age. (9) Although previously reported to be more common in females, more recent studies suggests a slight male predominance. (6) Most cases present as an asymptomatic, slowly growing, painless mass, although the mass may occasionally cause symptoms due to compression of adjacent structures. (10,11)
On gross examination, hibernomas are soft to rubbery, encapsulated, yellow-brown macrolobulated masses. (11) These typically range in size from 5 to 10 cm in diameter, although lesions reaching 20 cm have been documented. (12,13) Their brownish hue may be attributed to the mitochondrial and vascular predominance. (14)
Hibernomas manifest radiographically as radiolucent masses with an absence of calcification, osseous, or chondroid matrix and lacking associated aggressive osseous pathology, (14) as illustrated by our first case. On ultrasound these are hyperechoic, circumscribed masses with hypervascularity on Doppler interrogation (14); both of the cases that were evaluated with ultrasound demonstrated these typical characteristics. Due to this hypervascularity or arteriovenous shunting, core needle biopsy is a relative contraindication particularly in deep-seated lesions, (15) where there may be difficulty tamponading a post-intervention hemorrhage. As in case 2, this hypervascularity may even be appreciated on bone scintigraphy as mild to moderate radiotracer uptake on blood pool and static images. (14)
On CT, a fat attenuating mass is characteristic, although it is slightly hyperattenuating to subcutaneous fat. With intravenous contrast, there may be diffuse, mild background enhancement with more prominent enhancement of septae and vessels. (14)
MRI features of hibernoma may vary according to their histological composition. These lesions are minimally heterogeneous and slightly hypointense to subcutaneous fat on T1-weighted images and fail to fully suppress on STIR or fat saturated T2-weighted images. (17) The enhancement pattern is variable, as on CT. (8) Not infrequently, there are associated prominent vascular structures. (16,17) This type of vascularity is not seen in well-differentiated liposarcomas, and this is an important feature for differentiation. (14) All of our lesions clearly demonstrate these typical MRI features.
Differential diagnosis based on the clinical and radiographic features would include other fairly homogeneous, noninvasive lipomatous lesions. Lipomas are more likely to parallel fat on all modalities. However, not all lipomas are homogeneous especially if traumatized or necrosed. Simple lipomas should suppress fully on fat saturation sequences and should not have more than thin capsular or mild septal enhancement. (18) The septae in superficial lipomas are less than 2 mm in thickness, uniform, and may be nonenhancing; however, deeper lesions may have thicker, even nodular septae. (14,19) Low-grade liposarcomas are more difficult to differentiate from hibernomas. The septae in low-grade liposarcomas may be thicker, nodular, and more avidly enhancing than lipomas. (14,19) The prominence of vascular structures are not seen in liposarcomas, and this is distinct to hibernomas. (14) The avid metabolism on 18-FDG PET is unique to hibernomas and more metabolically-active liposarcomas. (19)
Although hibernomas are always benign, their large size may cause compression of neighboring structures, such that surgical excision is usually recommended. (20) There is no recurrence with complete surgical resection and metastases have not been reported. (21)
These three cases of hibernoma clearly demonstrate the features as expected on each modality. Although it is not always possible to definitively diagnose a hibernoma, based on imaging alone, this histologic lipomatous variant should be considered in the differential diagnosis when radiologists encounter a lesion that does not exhibit the typical features of either a simple lipoma or a liposarcoma.

A Rock Monster is a creature made of solid stone.
Rock Monsters were rock humanoids found on Planet U. They were brown with glowing red eyes. They could appear out of dirt walls, loose rock walls, or hard rock walls (not solid rock walls), or be found sleeping in a cavern. They ate Energy Crystals and would even attack buildings to get them. The LEGO Rock Raiders fought them off in their quest to obtain enough Energy Crystals to go home. The Chief encountered a Rock Monster previously in his youth. When repeatedly hit by beam-weaponry, they crumble into two or three Mini-Rock Monsters which are harmless and will simply run away. Evidence found by the Rock Raiders indicates that they were once an intelligent civilization, but they are now little more than primitive beasts.
They are also seen in the jungle and on an asteroid belt, potentially meaning that they could be found all over the universe.

Size Matters: Pack Light.
We Indians are notorious when it comes to packing for a vacation. I remember all the family holidays that started with dragging heavy suitcases out of the house, bargaining with porters at the railway station, asking burly men for a hand to get the luggage up the luggage shelf of the train, and keeping track of all our many belongings. It didn't matter whether the vacation lasted a weekend or a week; my mom had to pack what she had to pack. I'm glad I didn't inherit her packing skills… [Read more on Women's Web] This article was originally published on Women's Web. Photo credit: Jhong Dizon.

As a western trained physician, I was taught that the most important if not the only thing I had to offer to people was my expertise and my bag of techniques. I believed that I could easily be replaced in all of my patient relationships by any other physician well trained in my specialty and that my absence would have the same effect as drawing my finger from a bucket of water. For many years I believed that this was true.
But, what is real is often seen most clearly on the edges of things, in the places where our tools are no longer relevant and our book learning no longer matters. In the places beyond cure. In 1981 when I first began hospice work it was like stepping from an operating room into a church. The deep relational values and art of the healer, long buried by years of technical training slowly revealed themselves in all of their power and mystery until at last I recognized that medicine itself was not a work of science but a work of love.
To work in Hospice is to know yourself to be one of a kind, discover that your presence is the greatest gift you offer and that you can heal by touch and witness far more powerfully than by intellect alone.
The power to heal is a human birthright. This beautiful poem captures the coming home to ourselves and our birthright of healing that many of us have experienced in hospice work:
What I Learned From My Mother
-Julia Kasdorf
I learned from my mother how to love
the living, to have plenty of vases on hand
in case you have to rush to the hospital
with peonies cut from the lawn, black ants
still stuck to the buds. I learned to save jars
large enough to hold fruit salad for a whole
grieving household, to cube home-canned pears
and peaches, to slice through maroon grape skins
and flick out the seeds with a knife point.
I learned how to attend viewings even when I didn't know
the deceased, to press moist hands
and offer sympathy, as though I understood loss, even then.
I learned that whatever we say means nothing,
what anyone will remember is that we came.
I learned I had the power
to ease pain, like an angel.
I learned to create
from another's suffering my own usefulness,
and once you know how to do this,
to every house you enter, you offer healing:
a chocolate cake you baked yourself,
the blessing of your voice, your touch.
Copyright 1992 by Julia Kasdorf
Hope to see you at the workshop…..

Cowboy Love
Crowe and Bale often play characters well, and this movie is no exception. Crowe's Ben Wade is magnetizing, by turns charming, hypnotic, and coldly efficient. Rancher Dan Evans is a real hard luck case, and as the film is watched, the viewer cannot help but wish he would unleash the stone killer that must certainly be lurking inside him. Ben Foster plays one of the most interesting characters, as Wade's lieutenant with an obvious crush. Foster must believe doing odd things with his voice is important, because his mumble in this role is as distinctive as his squealing tone in Thirty Days of Night.
3:10 to Yuma has a great cast, and is well acted. I subtract half a star for stretching my suspension of disbelief a little, and I'll give it back just because Ben Wade is such a wonderfully bad man, as he plays his life with enjoyable zest. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Here's the review I know you all have been waiting for: Brokeback Mountain. In all likelihood, you've already seen this cinematic masterpiece. If not, minor spoilers follows.
Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal play young men with ranching backgrounds who meet while working herding sheep on forestry lands during the summer in the late 1960s. One thing leads to another, and romance follows.
Ledger's Ennis Del Mar takes a string of get-by ranching jobs while entering a doomed marriage, while Gyllenhaal's Jack Twist eventually squanders a marriage to Lureen Newsome (played by the toothsome Anne Hathaway). As a child, Ennis saw a gay couple horribly killed, and when Jack Twist keeps driving down to "go fishing" with him, he refuses to leave to set up dude ranching.
The scenery in the mountains is often gorgeous, and the two actors play their roles well, but the story is dreary. Perhaps director Ang Lee meant to show how persecution of homosexuals can ruin lives, but the movie often seems to mostly exist to show two hot young male commodities having angry man-sex. Heath Ledger seems to have lifted Billy Bob Thornton's grumble from Slingblade, but it's good enough that I'll give the film an extra half star. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

" In all likelihood, you've already seen this cinematic masterpiece."
You were either speaking tongue in cheek, or you grade hard. I found the movie rather beautiful in its tragedy. I had reservations about seeing it, because I had already long since read the short story in Annie Proulx's Wyoming Stories, the entirety of which is dark and sad.
I've not seen 3:10 To Yuma. I think I'll put it into the NetFlix queue.

You're a strange man, Matt. But I love ya.
Tragedy alone cannot be beautiful, though there can be a "beautiful death". Films exist for escapism, Matt. If folks wanted drearyness, most of them can just look around: there's no need to go pay $8.50.
Don't expect great cinema from 3:10, but Crowe is fun to watch. You *might* see a beautiful tragedy in it.

You really need to cut and paste that link and see the 30-second bunny version - I think it saves a whole lot of time, and I got just as much from the truncated version. Visually, it was a stunning film, but otherwise, it was tedious and underwhelming to me.

Well, okay.
I don't live in 1960's Wyoming.
I don't wander the mountains to shoot coyotes and wolves off of sheep.
I don't look purty in a pair of jeans. Heh.
I also don't have a tragic love that is doomed and possibly dangerous to possess.
That's escapism, one way or t'other.
And visually stunning is a damned worthy thing. Tell me-- was it only the pretty prose that made Romeo and Juliet such a classic, or was it not also the beguiling tale of two lovers who could never be together, which has made it hang on so long?
As uncomfortable as I was watching the 2 or three minutes of cowboy sex in the flick, the rest of it was a beautiful love tragedy. I'm not big on tragedies, but when they touch the heart, I can admit it.
I'm not a big fan of feeling bad, so I especially avoid horror flicks, which are either hokey, or bring up an emotion that I tend to like to avoid.
I'd have been a lot happier with it if there'd been more gunplay with the M94, though. ;)

On the night of November 3 in Long Beach, a driver entered the 710 Freeway traveling in the wrong direction and began driving into oncoming traffic. What happened next is all too common in California wrong-way car accidents: the car, which was driving northbound in the southbound lanes, slammed into an oncoming car head-on, seriously injuring at least three people.
Unfortunately, wrong-way interstate accidents and highway accidents are more common than you may think. How does a driver possibly get onto an interstate or freeway going the wrong way, and why don't they quickly realize their mistake?
In most cases, wrong-way accidents have the following five causes:
- Drivers who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The vast majority of wrong-way accidents are caused by drivers who are too inebriated to follow the rules of the road. Confused and often blacked out, they ignore or misinterpret signs.
- Elderly drivers or drivers suffering from mental illnesses. Elderly drivers who suffer from dementia or Alzheimer's disease—or drivers with other mental health issues—may have enough driving skills to operate a vehicle, but not the cognitive function to understand or obey signs.
- Drivers suffering from a medical emergency. There have been several documented cases of patients with untreated diabetes or traumatic brain injuries traveling on the wrong side of the road due to a medical issue which causes confusion.
- Suicidal drivers. In these sad cases, a person will decide to end his or her life by causing a head-on accident in a wrong-way accident.
- Drivers who are confused by poor road design. In some cases, a missing sign, a poorly designed exchange, or a lack of safety features could cause a driver to get on the wrong ramp. In these instances, it is possible that the Department of Transportation, toll authority, or other government entity is responsible for the crash.
Because so many wrong-way accidents involve high-speed, head-on collision, they result in a high number of catastrophic injuries and deaths. If you or a loved one has been involved in a wrong way accident, you may want the assistance of a California car accident attorney.
At Russell & Lazarus, we can help you understand how your traffic accident occurred and who is responsible for damages. Call today to schedule a free, private meeting with one of our experienced lawyers: (949) 851-0222.

Much to my husband's dislike, this room is usually a hot mess with clothes and jewelry everywhere from where I spent the morning in a frantic rush trying to create my perfect look of the day. It's my space, and I love it.
My closet <3
Of course I dream of this....
And these....
OK, you get the point, on to the contest. :)
Up for grabs: A $50 Gift Certificate to Tres Belle Boutique. This can be used at the store in Lake Geneva, WI or online.

About The ProductionNo one can say for certain whether El
Dorado is pure invention or a myth borne of the truth, but the legend of this
lost city of gold has endured for over 500 years. Now DreamWorks Pictures takes
audiences on a musical adventure to this fabled land, with the unlikeliest of
guides—a pair of hapless miscreants named Tulio and Miguel.
Executive producer Jeffrey Katzenberg
reveals that the central characters of Tulio and Miguel have their roots in the
scene-stealing sidekicks found in virtually every animated favorite.
"Having made these movies for a number of years now, I've always thought
it would be a great idea to take what would ordinarily be the secondary
characters—the dysfunctional losers, the comic relief—and send them off on
some big adventure of their own."
"The flawed, but funny supporting
characters are often the most interesting," director Don Paul concurs.
"A main objective of this film was to break the mold of the typical heroic
leading men with two scoundrels, who are anything but typical heroes."
The filmmakers add that the inspiration
for Tulio and Miguel could also be found in the classic Hope & Crosby road
movies and other popular buddy films over the years.
"The buddy relationship is the very
heart of the story," says producer Bonne Radford. "They need each
other because they're both pretty inept. They're opposites—Tulio is the
schemer and Miguel is the dreamer. Their camaraderie adds to the adventure; you
almost don't need to know where they're going or what they're after,
because the fun is in the journey."
The fun was also in recording the journey,
owing mostly to Kevin Kline and Kenneth Branagh, the award-winning actors who
gave voice to Tulio and Miguel respectively.
Producer Brooke Breton notes, "We
brought them together to record, which is unusual in animation, and it was a
delight. They had such a great time, and their energy and creativity elevated
each other's performances."
"Kevin and Kenneth are such great
talents and each have an incredible sense of humor: Ken is very dry and witty;
and Kevin is a natural comedian. They had such terrific chemistry, and it was
marvelous to put them together and see what happened. We were able to
incorporate a lot of their personalities in their characters, because, like
Tulio and Miguel, they are something of an odd couple," Katzenberg says.
Kenneth Branagh remarks, "Tulio and
Miguel are a great combination and it was fun to play that relationship opposite
Kevin. Miguel is a romantic, who adores adventure and excitement. He's a good
foil for Tulio, who, by contrast, is much more of a cynic."
"Miguel is the idealist, and Tulio is
the more earth-bound realist, so together they form one entire half-wit,"
Kevin Kline quips. "Tulio is always finding himself in these terrible life
and death predicaments—often because of Miguel—but I think he really loves
wheedling his way out of them. He's an actor in a way; life for him is a giant
That improvisational quality was perfect
for each actor's approach to his role. "Kenneth could go to the mike and
immediately give me 15 separate interpretations of a single line. He's
amazing," director Eric "Bibo" Bergeron notes. "Any nuance
we could possibly have needed was in the performance he delivered. For his part,
Kevin would con

Ethereum price reached a high of $237 yesterday wiping off the loses garnered over the weekend, but it turns out that the correction in the cryptocurrency is far from over.
Currently Ethereum is trading at $213 – down 11 per cent over the last 24 hours – and this effectively means that confidence in the cryptocurrency after the weekend slump hasn't been fully restored.
After hitting a $134.21 low this month, Ethereum has recovered to $237 yesterday, effectively reaching the value it had last week before the price dropped.
Ethereum's market cap yesterday was at $20.90 billion. Bitcoin's market cap is currently at $38.18 billion with the number one cryptocurrency also gaining a lot after the weekend price plunge. Currency Bitcoin is trading at $2351.
Braving the weekend price plunge disaster, investors and cryptocurrency users are at it again with a bullish mood. The total market cap of cryptocurrency after gains over the last couple of days stood at $83.36 billion.
One of the reasons behind Ethereum's recent surge is the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance (EEA), which recently just added 34 new members, turning it into the world's largest blockchain consortium.
Last month The Flippening, the scenario in which Ethereum would surpass bitcoin and become the number one cryptocurrency, looked like a real possibility before Ethereum's value dropped and bitcoin recovered part of its dominance.
Now, Ethereum seems to be recovering part of its share, even though it's still far below bitcoin. At press time, Bitcoin's dominance is currently at 45.2%, while Ethereum's is about 25%.

Get Hard is a movie about Will Ferrell going to prison for embezzlement. And he's about as hard as a wet marshmallow. He's not ready for a night in jail. He's not ready for a night in the Ramada.
Now the biggest hurdle to seeing this movie is saying, "One for Get Hard." Pretty much impossible to not make it sound like you're some kind of pervert.
But they do push the stereotypes. So you find yourself laughing and then quickly looking around for validation it's okay. Some scenes push the envelope so much you may think, I'd be more comfortable if this movie was a porn. Where's the fast forward.
In this movie, Kevin Hart trains Ferrell to survive prison. He must have looked at the script and been like, "So you're telling me you'll pay me a lot of money to hit Will Ferrell in the face with pepper spray. Just curious, how much will you pay me to give him the chair."
Harts jail training consists of getting Ferrell ready to fight. And then when that fails Hart tells Ferrell, "We jut need to make you good at handing a dude's wang." Yeah this is when it's really uncomfortable to be in a theater with thirty strangers.
But eventually Ferrell learns Hart has not been to prison. And so there is a fallout between them that lasts all of five minutes. Next thing you know both of them are working together going, "Hey, now that we wasted twenty nine days of training why don't we figure out who framed you. We have a whole twenty four hours left."
It's nice to see Hart in this role. As for Will Ferrell he plays the super trusting white guy, basically reprising his role as buddy the elf, minus the cool green hat.
Straight dope: Go see this movie if you like stereotypes and jokes about dude sausage.

John and I went walking
All down the dusty road;
We had a crate of apples,
But we two shared the load.
We laughed and talked together,
The load was feather light,
Our bare toes kicked the pebbles,
Our eyes with love were bright.
There came that way a stranger
With jewels in his hand.
He smiled at me so kindly--
John would not understand.
He spoke; I stopped to listen,
And John went on alone.
The stranger's words were honey,
And how those jewels shone!
I turned then with the stranger,
But looked once back at John.
Tired and bent and weary,
He slowly plodded on.
I ran back to him sobbing,
And, as I had begun,
I took my share of the burden,
Too heavy far for one.

A naturally occurring nuclear reactor, our sun releases photons, microscopic packets of energy that travel 93 million miles to the Earth in roughly 8½ minutes, delivering enough energy to our planet every hour to satisfy the world's energy need for an entire year. Nonetheless, solar power currently accounts for a tiny fraction of the energy we consume, for example, in the United States, power generated with solar amounts to just four-tenths of one percent of the total energy consumed.
As the cost of harnessing the sun's energy drops, our ability to incorporate solar technology into our lives rises, with a recent International Energy Agency report indicating that by 2050, solar energy could become the world's largest electricity source. That means we can expect to see solar providing for more of our energy needs in coming years as storage technology improves and prices drop.
How Does Solar Power Work?
The solar panels that are a common sight in Australian residential areas are made of silicon which is a highly effective semiconductor. These panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, have a positive layer and a negative layer which combines to create an electric field, similar to a battery.
When photons, those tiny packets of solar energy, hit a solar cell, they knock electrons loose from their atoms so that when they flow through the circuit created by the positive and negative sides of the cell, electricity is generated. The larger the system, the more electricity can be generated.
Inverters – Converting DC to AC
Solar panels generate DC (direct current) electricity which means the electrons flow in a single direction around the circuit. However, electrical power grids use AC (alternating current) electricity in which electrons are pushed and pulled with the effect that their direction is periodically reversed.
To get DC electricity into the AC grid an inverter is used, but they do more than convert electricity, as they also perform a variety of important functions, such as ground fault protection, and produce system stats like energy production and maximum power point tracking.
There are two main varieties of inverters, central inverters, which optimise for the entire system, and micro-inverters, which optimise for each individual solar panel. Whereas central inverters optimise performance for the weakest panel in the system, micro-inverters enable every solar panel to perform at their maximum potential. That makes micro-inverters the better choice.
Is Solar Power Suitable for My Home?
Yes, solar power is for everyone, regardless of where they reside and how much they can afford to spend on a system. Due to solar radiation rates, some areas are better suited to solar power than others, with Western Australia homeowners blessed with an abundance of solar radiation that enables us to make great use of the sun's rays to meet our electricity and hot water needs.
At Solar Repairs Perth, we're experienced with all solar hot water systems used here in WA and pride ourselves on providing a fast and efficient service that meets all your solar hot water needs. For cost-effective solar hot water servicing and repairs in Perth, call (08) 9200 4331.

The Indonesia Journal of Business Administration(IJBA) is a business journal that bridges the gap between business research and practice, evaluating and reporting on new research to help readers identify and understand significant trends in their fields.
The IJBA seeks to publish papers relating to business, broadly defined. It publishes articles that address both theoretical and practical issues in the broad areas of Business Strategy and Marketing, People and Knowledge Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology Management, Decision Making and Strategic Negotiation, Operation and Performance Management, and Business Risk and Finance.Contributing academicians and researchers are encouraged to address a variety of concerns relating to all areas of business. We also encourage students to use an interdisciplinary approach to analyzing a topic, which often yields interesting and novel papers.
The published articles provide valuable insight into matters of broad intellectual and practical concern to academicians and business professionals. The Journalis published three times a year: in April, July and October.
The journal is mainly an outlet of MBA ITB students to publish their final project works, although it also accepts articles written by students at masters level from other institutions. A published paper is an honor that will be unambiguously beneficial for professional and academic careers, especially for those who want to attend graduate/professional schools.
This means that papers written in relations to Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Management, Operations Management, Information Systems, Business Law, Corporate Ethics, and Public Policy all qualify for submission. Information on the journal format can be found in the journal's website. The number of pages must be at 10 pages. After published, the journal article will be available electronically at the journal's website.
