Event Analysis In this article a man in Texas owns over 60 acres of land on his property. While going over his land he finds that there is an abandoned oil well that was abandoned decades ago. Before he found this current oil well he had a previous abandoned oil well on his property too. This oil well had to be taken care of because it was leaking water bubbles and bits of oil too that was described in the article as “not a pretty sight to see at all”. The landowner is having trouble with the government because they are debating to even properly seal them back up. The biggest concern to the government with this issue is that it is very costly to seal such old oil wells back up. In the article wells of this age cost in the range of 30,000 dollars up to 170,000 dollars. The landowner needs the government to take care of this situation because it is ruining his soil underneath his land, the ground water that is beneath the land as well, and the pollution that is occurring in the air of his fields. Simply put if this situation does not get taken care of, soon he will no longer be able put his land to use at all. This article relates to an ample amount of issues that we have discussed within our classes. It could be an example from the temperature and weather because of the pollution that the abandoned oil wells bring about. Also, it is a prime example of the soil development we discussed in our lecture. If the pollution continues in the ground water it would ultimately destroy the process of creating ‘healthy’ soils. The moisture of the soil will be so affected that it could possibly ruin the chances of growing particular organic matter.

...More Praise for the Second Edition of Beyond Change Management “Once again, Dean and Linda have nailed it! Beyond Change Management is an extraordinary book examining the shifts in change management that have occurred over the years. This book offers real, practical solutions for change practitioners to become extraordinary conscious change leaders.” —Darlene Meister, director, Unified Change Management, United States House of Representatives “Entering the offices recently of a highly respected Fortune 500 company, I was stunned by the enormity of change they were facing and at the same time how ill-equipped they were to deal with the challenges that lay ahead of them. They had little capacity to lead and manage the change required. And, of course, consulting firms were swarming all over them. Th ey needed this book by the Andersons to help them. In fact, Chapter Five alone on building organizational capability is worth the price of the book.” —W. Warner Burke, Ph.D., Edward Lee Thorndike Professor of Psychology and Education; chair, Department of Organization and Leadership; program coordinator, Graduate Programs in Social-Organizational Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University “Beyond Change Management is a must-read for today’s C-Suite executives and those who lead organizational change.

...1    Preliminary draft The First Global Emerging Markets Investor: Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust 1880-1913 David Chambers and Rui Esteves∗ September 2011 Abstract: The Foreign and Colonial Investment Trust (FCIT) is the oldest surviving closed end fund in the world today. Its early success was related to its identification of a missing market, namely, the provision of a wholesale diversified investment vehicle for the investing public. Whilst much research has been conducted on aggregate international capital flows in this period, little work has been undertaken on the prime investment institutions. This micro-study seeks to fill this gap by undertaking detailed quantitative analysis of the leading investment trust investing widely in emerging markets during the first era of financial globalisation before WWI. The history of this flagship investment trust over more than three decades up to 1913 provides an insight into the relative success of this institutional innovation as well as into the risk and returns of investing in global emerging markets over a century ago. ∗                                                              David Chambers (d.chambers@jbs.cam.ac.uk) is at Judge Business School, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1AG, United Kingdom.

Kağıt Fabrikalarında Elektrik Mühendisliği Ve Verimlilik

...KAĞIT FABRİKALARINDA ELEKTRİK MÜHENDİSLİĞİ VE VERİMLİLİK 1/448 2/448 Genişletilmiş ikinci baskı için önsöz Kitabın birinci baskısı “Koruyucu Eklektrik Bakımı” ismini taşımaktaydı. İnternet ortamında oldukça revaçta olan bu kitap tüm fabrikalar için önemli bir kaynak teşkil etmektedir. Özellikle bu alanda Türkçe kaynak bulunmaması kitaba olan talebi arttırmaktadır. İkinci kısım ise tasarım kriterlerine ayrılmıştır. Koruyucu bakım yanında, tasarım kriterlerinin bilinmesi ve arızaların oluşum mekanizmalarının öğrenilmesi, güvenilir fabrikalar kurulmasına ve dolayısıyla verimliliğe katkı sağlayacaktır. Verimlilik, elektrikte koruyucu bakım, kaliteli sistem tasarımı, iyi projelendirme ve montajla doğrudan ilgilidir. Bu kitap işte böyle bir amaç için, kağıt fabrikalarının daha verimli çalışabilmesi için yazılmıştır. Kağıt fabrikalarının temel ihtiyaçlarından olan mühendislik uygulama bilgisi açığı aslında Türkiye’deki tüm sanayi kuruluşlarının ortak sorunudur. SEKA’nın kapanmasından sonra kağıt fabrikaları için bilgi birikimine katkı sağlayacak hiç bir kurum kalmamış oldu. Özel sektörde üretilen bilgiler, fabrikaların içe kapanmaları nedeniyle paylaşılamaz duruma geldi. Oysa fabrikalar arasında sinerji sağlanarak sağlıklı bilgilerin paylaşılması, kağıt sanayii için verimliliğe katkı sağlayacaktır. Üniversitelerde araştırma yapan bazı araştırmacıların, kağıt fabrikaları hakkında kaynak arayışları sorunun derinliğini göstermektedir. Bu kitap okyanus olmaktan çok kendi...

...Cooperative Strategy ‘The authors have provided an ambitious overview of the cooperative strategy literature. The book will be welcomed by serious students and scholars focussed on this important phenomenon.’ Paul W. Beamish, Canada Research Chair in International Business, Ivey Business School, University of Western Ontario ‘This book provides a comprehensive, well-organized and richly illustrated analysis of inter-firm cooperation. While relevant for managers and business students, it extensively draws on the most up-to-date research, making it also a valuable source for academics studying strategic alliances and the wide array of management issues they raise. Child, Faulkner, and Tallman have done a remarkable job of putting together in a highly consistent way all the knowledge available on what has become an essential facet of business development, namely Cooperative Strategy.’ Pierre Dussauge, Professor of Strategic Management, HEC – School of Management, Paris ‘I highly recommend this book for alliance scholars and practitioners. The breadth of coverage of the practical and theoretical literature on cooperative strategy is one of the book’s primary contributions.

...Theorizing identity in language and sexuality research M A R Y B U C H O L T Z Department of Linguistics 3607 South Hall University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, CA 93106-3100 bucholtz@linguistics.ucsb.edu K I R A H A L L Department of Linguistics Campus Box 295 University of Colorado at Boulder Boulder, CO 80309-0295 kira.hall@colorado.edu A B S T R A C T The field of language and sexuality has gained importance within socioculturally oriented linguistic scholarship. Much current work in this area emphasizes identity as one key aspect of sexuality. However, recent critiques of identity-based research advocate instead a desire-centered view of sexuality. Such an approach artificially restricts the scope of the field by overlooking the close relationship between identity and desire. This connection emerges clearly in queer linguistics, an approach to language and sexuality that incorporates insights from feminist, queer, and sociolinguistic theories to analyze sexuality as a broad sociocultural phenomenon. These intellectual approaches have shown that research on identity, sexual or otherwise, is most productive when the concept is understood as the outcome of intersubjectively negotiated practices and ideologies. To this end, an analytic framework for the semiotic study of social intersubjectivity is presented. (Sexuality, feminism, identity, desire, queer linguistics.)* I N T R O D U C T I O N Within the past decade the field of language...
