This episode looks awesome. I really really hope they don't cancel this show!! It's amazing and it deserves another chance.
Added links to three preview clips.
Thanks they were great. Im shocked that FOX uploaded them themselves
Looks like they're gonna address the Whiskey thing

Joss Whedon said that a S2 wouldn't make sense if Fox refused to air the real season finale. If the show does get picked up and Fox still insists that this is the season finale, then more creative control has been taken away. It's nobody's fault, of course, because the extra episode was the product of a misunderstanding, but it's because of stuff like this that I don't watch reality shows. It's insane that people have to buy DVDs to see episodes of shows they like while extra "American Idol" footage is crammed down all our throats.
I thought I saw the extra promo, I'll have to check it out again to see if there's anything about Claire that I missed.
Yes for sure. Promo was a bit of a giveaway so if people don't know what I mean when I say Whiskey then I would advise not to watch it just yet ;D
So excited for this! Woohoo!

Ballard: So this is it? this is where you steal their souls...
Topher: Yeah, and then we put them in a glass jar...
Angel Season 4, anyone?

AMAZING! PERFECT!
This was so... PERFECT! WOW! I LOVED IT!
I wonder what happened to Alpha...
And what ended up happening to Paul? I was confused on that.
And Mellie is free, and Claire knows she is a doll! Or was...
I felt so bad for Whiskey.

It was OK, I guess.
But if I, like Alpha, were threatening pieces of hardware with a gun, you know what I'd shoot?
I'd shoot this show's damned weekly reset button, that's what I'd shoot.
Isn't it time to move past that ALREADY?

Well it's over. The episode I mean. Not sure what to say. The stuff with Whiskey was pretty shocking and rather heartbreaking at the end. Paul did something nice, but obviously still has an obsession with Caroline. And the Alpha scenes...lets just say I wasn't disappointed. I tell you I was practically jumping out of my seat every commercial break. I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.

I don't see it as a reset button. Things have changed, moved forward & characters are now heading in new directions. Perhaps they are not progressing the way you'd like, and the Dollhouse is not really closer to being outed, but I'd hardly call this episode a reset.
Things are not progressing the way I'd like.
Which is all moot, now.

Whiskey was a shock, I knew that the title "Omega" would probably have something to do with Echo, Paul freeing November was cool, and the fact that he didn't want her to know who he was, finding out Alpha's real personality was a convict (hence the slashy tendencies); all was great. But my favorite part was Echo's transformation into Omega, how she identified the fact that she was no one, but she didn't want to kill Caroline. And best of all: this whole time Ballard is trying to save Caroline, but who really does save her? ECHO SAVES CAROLINE!! WOOOOHOO awesome. This new facet to Echo's 'personality' is very intriguing, how she definitely remembers Caroline, and her obvious remembrance of past imprints.
Next season is going to be awesome........fingers crossed

awesome episode! i loved every minute of it! i especially loved the fact that they went into Dr. Sanders back story (love amy acker)! i always thought she was a doll.
Holy shit! Without a doubt the best episode and one of the greatest things I've seen on television.
The flashbacks were just terrifying as hell. The scene at the beginning with Alpha and Whiskey was one of the craziest things I've seen, Alan scared the hell out of me. And how sexy was Amy? Nice to see more of Caroline, she seemed okay with what was happening at that point, and that's when Alpha first saw her, which lead into one of the scariest things ever seen, when Alpha started stabbing Whiskey. Sure, they look like adults, but it felt no different than little kids. I felt sick. I know it became pretty obvious that Dr. Saunders was a doll, but expected she was the real deal and use to be a doll, so I was shocked to find that she still is. The scene between her and Topher was heartbreaking.
Everything between Alpha, Echo and Caroline was epic. The back and forth between them all was great, answered a lot of questions about the Actives. Echo was wicked cool and the "confrontation" between herself and Caroline was one of the greatest things ever. And even though Alpha was psychotic, I actually sort of felt bad for him that his fantasy wasn't what it turned out to be. I'm also shocked as hell that Alpha got away.
Aww. I'm really not a Paul fan, but what he did for November, err... Madeline, was just too sweet. Especially liked it because of what an ass he was to her last week. The scenes where Paul and Boyd worked together were pretty cool, they worked well off each other. So Paul is now sort of working for the Dollhouse? Wonder how that will turn out. What a contradicting idiot.
The last line was awesome, and setup a story perfectly for Season 2. Want now! Please FOX! Unaired Pilot spoilers:
Wasn't the final scene in this episode the same ending as the old pilot? So hopefully Joss can go in the direction he wants to if there is a second season.

Fantastic episode and a great end to the season. Every character got a moment to shine, especially Amy Acker. Alan Tudyk stole the show last week, but Amy was in top form this week. Her 'reveal' was really awesome, as I was suspecting that to be Echo in the background dancing. I loved learning more about her as a doll, and the scene at the end with Topher was fantastic. Plus she looked gorgeous, especially in that first scene.
The main reason I want a Season 2 now is to see where they take her character (and she better become a regular). Claire finding out she is a doll and then going right back to work, there's just so many layers there that can be explored. It was especially interesting that Topher programmed her to hate him, my guess is because he felt guilty about what happened with Alpha and her scars. It was an interesting callback to Ghost with that "look" between them that we all mistook for a possible romantic connection between the two.
I could continue to rave about Whiskey's developments in this episode, as I thought that whole storyline was handled brilliantly, but a ton happened so...
The Caroline/Echo story had some very interesting stuff in this finale. Caroline continues to be a bit of a dud and we still don't know what really happened to her (which is fine), and I love that the very end was Echo saying her real name, as that was a basic callback to what this show REALLY is about at its core: Echo remembering her old self. This episode made me think of a lot that we might see in the future with this, such as what happens if Echo really does one day fully remember that she is Caroline? What does that mean for the Dollhouse's technology if a person is put into a wedge, but is still able to present themselves through a doll? Are there now two Caroline's? Or is Echo a Caroline/Echo hybrid? Really interesting stuff to think about.
I've always been a fan of Paul's, and I am glad he will now be working with the Dollhouse. I am sure some will think that story moved a little to quickly (trying to bring it down to working for them in the span of one episode), but I think once Paul was there and saw how it all worked, he realized that these people really are entering into business arrangements with this company. They are signing five year deals of their own accord and he just cannot mess with that. His interaction with Boyd was fantastic, and I enjoyed their team up to find Alpha.
The only character that didn't contribute a whole lot to this episode was Sierra, but her few lines were excellent (as were November's). I guess Madeline/November is done for good, but I wonder what will happen with Victor? Maybe he will be imprinted with a personality and work at the Dollhouse like Whiskey? Perhaps as a handler or something. It would have been interesting if we had seen more reaction from Adelle about his face, but this was a packed episode.
Overall, this was a brilliant episode the best in the series. While the Alpha story wasn't really concluded, I am happy with that because Alan Tudyk is really something special in this role.
Bring on some good ratings, as I am dying for a second season now.

Extremely original premise and the episode was fantastic! I think we can all now embrace Dollhouse into Joss' T.V. shows.

Acme Solar Electric system! Saving you time and money!
Acme Energy is proud to offer .
With a Grid-Connected Solar System, the electric service panel first used the solar generated electricity to supply the power to your home. When the Solar System generates more energy than your home consumes, surplus electricity travels through the meter and onto the power grid. The electric meter spins backwards and your electric bill decreases. This is known as "Net Metering".
The Solar System turns on automatically in the morning and turns off automatically at night. From Sunrise to Sunset the system converts Sunlight to Electricity FREE of charge!
HOW MUCH IS SOLAR WORTH?
Because, of most of us, NOT using Electricity is Not an Option, a Solar System should be valued like any other amenity in your home. A Solar System has a uniquely quantifiable benefit. A Solar Electric Sys- tem can significantly reduce your cost of ownership. These savings should be valued with your home. In addition rising utility rates mean Savings, or avoiding costs, that will increase in the future. Purchasing a Solar System is an Economic Home Investment. Recent studies have shown that a Solar System increases the Property Value by a Substantial Amount, often recovering 100 of the original cost.
As Utility Companies continue to raise their rates, the Solar System can keep your bills low. Nationally utilities have raised their rates at an average of 3-6 per year for the past 30 years. These rates will only continue to increase. With our system you can lock in your Electric costs on what you produce, and purchase less from the utility companies.
HOW MUCH WILL A SOLAR SYSTEM PRODUCE?
Total with credit = $13,200 or a total of only $1.32 per watt.
Your payoff would only be 5.9 years then you would save $2210 per year at our current rate. When rates rise your savings per year rises as well. This puts the $2210 per year in YOUR pocket not the Utility Companies. With larger systems and higher usage the payoff is even bet- ter. An average Solar System will last 35-40 years, with very little maintenance, making your savings over $75,000 in the life of your system. For commercial users, in most areas, the rate is higher so the savings would be more and payoff time would be sooner.
Local and Federal Incentives exist for Renewable Energy, including Solar.
The federal tax credit is the most significant, it is 30 through 2016.
There are also several states offering tax credits as well as property tax exceptions, meaning the value of the Solar System is subtracted from the total property value for tax purposes.
If you do nothing now then how much will you be saving in 6 years?
We will accommodate almost any size system that you need from the smallest home system to the very large Commercial and Industrial systems. We also do Utility Grade Systems.
Our Systems are complete with Modules, Inverter and Racking for mounting for Asphalt Shingle Roofs as well as Steel, Concrete Tile and Flat Roofs.
Our Systems can be Ground Mounted if needed.
as well as the main house line wiring.

DETROIT (AdAge.com) -- Ford Motor Co. will not end its popular "Employee Discount" promotion this week as originally planned but will extend the price-cutting promotion through Labor Day, according to the company.
Ford's 'Employee Discount' promotion, which it calls the 'Ford Family Plan,' will be extended through the rest of the summer. Competitor GM has ended its version of the program.
This summer's "Employee Discount" marketing craze was started by General Motors Corp., which drew sharp attention from consumers and competitors when it launched the concept in June and then extended it into July.
Ford and Chrysler Group followed GM's lead by introducing their own similar programs in July.
Chrysler has not indicated whether its program would be extended.
A GM spokesman said the automaker would not extend the program after it expired yesterday and instead would announce this week "value pricing" for 2006 models in an attempt to lower incentives.
Ford, meanwhile, said it would continue to offer employee discount deals through Labor Day on 2005 models of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury, plus select 2006 models already in dealer showrooms. Steve Lyons, group vice president of marketing, sales and service for the three brands in North America, said the so-called "Ford Family Plan" was a "tremendous success in July."
He said the July promotion helped the automaker significantly reduce its 2005 inventory and will result in record monthly sales for many models.

Michael Dell: Corporate customers seek to buy more of their gear from a smaller number of vendors.
Dell Technologies Inc., facing pressure from cloud providers such as Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp., merged with EMC last year to bring together two traditional hardware companies in one of the biggest corporate tie-ups in history, valued at about $67 billion when it was announced. As part of that deal, Michael Dell also picked up majority ownership in companies such as VMware, whose virtualization software lets businesses cram bigger workloads onto servers. VMworld is an annual event that features that company's latest products.
"Dell, EMC, VMware go together like peanut butter and chocolate," Dell said.


NHK Washington Bureau Chief Jun Takao interviewed Dr. James Steinberg, former US Deputy Secretary of State. Below are some excerpts.
The US-Japan relationship is a lot more broad and deep than just individual leaders in either of the two countries. The great strength of the relationship comes not just from who's in charge of the government but by the strong ties between the people. And so I think in the first instance, we expect the same kind of close cooperation that we've had for decades between the United States and Japan, and there's no reason for anybody to think that that will change in any fundamental way.
I believe an early visit would be welcome, the opportunity for the two to renew their acquaintance. To have a conversation about the big challenges we face in the region is important.
The issues that we face in dealing with territorial issues which are extremely sensitive and extremely important, in dealing with the challenge of North Korea, makes it very, very important that we have a close, close set of engagements. And we have these ties obviously between the Foreign Ministry and the State Department, between our Defense Department-Defense Ministry-and the SDF, but I think there's no substitute for leader-to-leader discussions and given the delicacy and the importance of the issues in East Asia now, the importance of the US-Japan relationship.
For 20 years, the US and Japan have been talking about how we make sure that our security relationship and Japan's role in the region adapts to the changes that are taking place in East Asia and the world. The world that we faced during the Cold War was a different world than we face today, and so I think it is useful, beginning as we did back in the mid 1990s with the security guidelines, to continue to update and rethink about what we need to do to meet contemporary challenges, and I think this is an important discussion for the Japanese people to have for themselves and an important discussion to take place between the United States and Japan.
But I think the key is to make sure that as we strengthen these efforts and as Japan adapts to the new security environment that we do this not in a way that's designed to threaten or challenge anybody else but really to make sure that there's broader peace and security throughout the region.
It's extremely important that both the new leader in South Korea and the new leader in Japan put a lot of effort into dealing with the issues that are troubling the Japan-South Korea relationship. This is too important a partnership to let these problems fester. There are obviously serious concerns on both sides. I don't mean to diminish them. They have a lot of resonance in the publics in both sides, but I think both leaders need to demonstrate that they understand how important it is to have a good relationship.
I think we need to find ways in which each side can continue to have their views about the territorial claims without that poisoning the overall relationship, and that's what's so important is to keep this, like the military information exchanges for example that were being discussed by the two sides, we should find a way to move forward on that, notwithstanding the differences on the territorial dispute.
I would hope there's an early opportunity for the leaders to get together and think about how they can work together to address these concerns about history and territory to build stronger ties. I would like to see more effort to strengthen the trilateral cooperation between South Korea and Japan. This is a great moment, at the beginning of President Obama's second term, a new Secretary of State, new leadership in both Seoul and Tokyo, to really take on this big challenge and to show some real leadership.
It is important that we get serious about this and decide how we're going to deal with the basing issues. I think it's a distraction. I don't think it deeply harms the relationship but I think it makes it more difficult for us to really think through the long-term relationship. I think we need to have some clarity about what the long-term US presence is going to be. There are economic issues, financial issues as well, security issues involved.
We understand domestic politics, we understand the sensitivity of the people of Okinawa but the current situation doesn't benefit anybody. I think it is important for us to sit down, for the new leadership, especially if there's a strong Diet majority, to take the decisions, understanding that there's never going to be total satisfaction in Okinawa itself with any presence.
I think it is incumbent on the leadership to make some decisions, to be honest with each other about what's possible and to go from there. And so I do hope that in the coming year that we roll up our sleeves, forget the niceties and really get serious about trying to come up with a plan that's politically sustainable, that meets the security needs of the two countries and is economically affordable.

Q: Wordpress: wp-cron not working and not giving error in log This is a wp-cron I defined in function.php file, but I don't get any result in the error log, the event is in the cron list but if I launch it nothing happens.
I have define('WP_DEBUG', true);
And error log enabled on all levels in php.ini
Does anybody know where am I doing wrong?
function cron_daily_whatever() {
  if (!wp_next_scheduled('check_daily_event')) {
    wp_schedule_event(time(),'daily','check_daily_event');
  }
}

function my_do_this_daily() {
    error_log('check');
}

add_action('wp','cron_daily_whatever');
add_action('check_daily_event','my_do_this_daily');

SOLUTION
I used the snippet
 file_put_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/my-debug.txt', "Response: ".$res."\n", FILE_APPEND);

to debug it. And it now works.

A: seems you are having / setting the cron at page level / theme level ?
If you are setting at the plugin level.
add_action( 'my_hourly_event',  'update_db_hourly' );

public static function activate() {
    wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'my_hourly_event' );
}

public static function deactivate() {
    wp_clear_scheduled_hook('my_hourly_event');
}

public function update_db_hourly() {

    // 1. Check for a new file
    // 2. If it exists, read it, upload it, delete it
    // 3. Otherwise, do nothing

}

Ref: https://tommcfarlin.com/wordpress-cron-jobs/
Note: If error_log is not working, can be due to some WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY=false flag not set properly. Better log a custom logging using the following snippet.
file_put_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/my-debug.txt', "Response **".$res."**", FILE_APPEND);

This file will get created under wp-content folder.

A: By the default WP_DEBUG log in wp-content, you should define ('WP_DEBUG_LOG',TRUE); as well. Then you'll need to clear your scheduled event(and set it again) to test today if it has already run once. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_clear_scheduled_hook for that.

Most of the developed world is downright addicted to technology. Studies reveal we spend an average 11 hours per day consuming electronic media and check our smartphones up to 85 times daily.
With the majority Americans depending so heavily on technology, it's difficult to imagine turning off all modern conveniences for even a day. But for over 300,000 people in the US, it's a way of life.
You've probably heard of the Amish community. To the modern ear, it sounds unbelievable — a community that often lives without electricity, internet, cell phones, cars, or running hot water?
According to one woman, that was her experience for over a decade. Meet Torah Bontrager, a modern-day Manhattanite who grew up in an Amish settlement in Michigan and escaped at the age of 15.
Since then, she's appeared on major media entities like ABC 20/20, MTV True Life, and The Blog of Tim Ferriss, and has gone on to write a memoir.
Although Amish life may sound quaint or peaceful, Bontrager says it was anything but. She recalls feeling isolated from the outside world, disappointed her education would only carry her to 8th grade, and frustrated she was forbidden from expressing emotions like anger and sadness.
Bontrager always knew she was destined for more. She loved learning and would read any book she could get her hands on. It was through her reading of titles like "Pippy Longstocking," "The Secret Garden," and "The Boxcar Children," where she gradually found the confidence to overcome her circumstances and create a better life for herself.
"These stories all showed children who didn't have loving adults to care for them, and they struck out on their own, and they survived, and that's how I knew that I would be ok, that I could leave as a child," Bontrager says.
Bontrager began planning her escape at age 11, contacting her non-Amish uncle through the community's phone shed late at night. It took four years for her to finally secure a way out, when her uncle picked her up late one night and the two returned to his home in Montana.
For Bontrager, telling her story has been the greatest force for personal healing. Her message seeks to inspire others to be vocal about their own life experiences and create a culture of empowerment.
Since speaking out, her story has inspired thousands and is about to be published in her upcoming book, "An Amish Girl In Manhattan," this Fall 2016.
If you're on the fence about telling your own story, Bontrager recommends you first find others who have shared their stories — read their testimonies, follow their blogs, and learn from them.
"It's hard to speak the truth when you're the only one," Bontrager says, but surrounding yourself with others can help you to find your own voice.

This happened about 10 times before I gave up.
Thank you for reporting, @fcomstoc . The development team will check out your details and see if they can find a solution for you, or a fix for the game as a whole.
Hi! Is this the trial or the full version?
It is the trial right now, I didn't want to purchase a game if it was going to have issues. I have about 1.5 hours left in the trial according to the XBOX app.
It is the trial right now, I didn't want to purchase a game if it was going to have issues.
Wanted to jump in quickly to mention the trial is a representation of what the game will offer, but is by no means a complete product yet. There's more content and updates on the way for the game before it's anticipated Q2 release, including an update to Unreal Engine (which should work out some of the current version kinks).
There was a problem with crashing that occured only in the trial version, I thought it was fixed already. We will have a look.
Sorry for the delay, this forum doesn't alert me when I have a new message, and I forgot to check it.
Just wanted to report that I have exactly the same issue as the original poster with constant crashing to desktop on Windows 10 64bit. I also get the same error message in the event viewer. I have a preview version with around 1:40h of time remaining..
The same situation for me, but i bought the early access release on gog.com.
When playing the game, the game exits and i'm back on the desktop without any message. After restart i can resume my travel area, but any minutes later the game exits again.
Please find my Diagnostics enclosed.
Unable to play the game right now.

"Rejoice in the Lord always!" Rejoice! During this Advent season, we have so many things for which we can rejoice: family, friends, celebrations, but do we remember the reason for which we should truly be rejoicing? My friends, that reason is, of course, Jesus Christ. As we proceed through Advent, we prepare for His coming, readying our hearts for the Nativity of our Lord. What a beautiful time of year this is!
At the same time, I think it can also be very difficult to rejoice, or at least to take the time away from our busy schedule in order to rejoice. Those same items I mentioned above for which we are joyful can hinder our focus on the real reason for joy. Preparing for family visits might have us running errands all over the place, or Christmas lists might have us focused on shopping. Or perhaps more serious concerns keep us from rejoicing… Maybe we have to choose between paying an electric bill and buying gifts. Perhaps there has been the death of a loved one. Or maybe the winter weather has put us in a depressed mood, despite the much needed rain and snow!
So how are we to rejoice then in this season? How do we reorient ourselves towards the true reason for rejoicing as we look expectantly for the coming of our Savior?
Well, one practical thing we can do is turn to others. In this season of Advent and the coming season of Christmas, it is important to remember those who are missing something, whether they are missing dry clothes, a hot meal, or the pleasure of family and friends. The Gospel today tells us that "whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise." We shouldn't leave Church and act as if nothing we do here has changed us. We must go out into the world and be a force for good, allowing the Lord to work through us in our words and deeds, showing those around us that "the Lord is near" and he is ever-faithful in His promise to remain with us all the days of our lives.
There is another way we can reorient ourselves towards joy, more so than any of the other things I have mentioned thus far: simply turning to the Lord Himself. After all, how can we show others that the Lord is near if we do not first believe and act on it ourselves? For no matter what is going on in our lives, in the moments in which we rejoice or in the moments in which we might despair, we must recognize that the reason for our joy never ceases, as God has "a single motive for choosing" us, for coming to us in the child Jesus, and that is His never-ending love for us to bring forth our salvation through that small child in the manger who will one day hang on the cross.
A voice crying out from the wilderness reminds us of this love, and the presence of the Lord in our lives. We hear it in today's Gospel: while John was in the womb of Elizabeth, he foretold the coming of the Lord; now on the banks of the Jordan, he foretells the coming of Jesus once again, proclaiming that Christ will "baptize you with the Holy Spirit." In this baptism with the Holy Spirit, we are made a new creation and are truly given a reason to rejoice: we have new life in Christ and "can cry out with joy and gladness." He never ceases to call us, and in our baptism we find true life and happiness.
Finally, not only do we have this enduring promise, but He makes it easier to attain joy and hope than we can possibly imagine: He comes to us, right here and right now. We don't have to travel far, we don't have to do anything complicated, we just need to turn to His love and mercy in the sacraments. In the Sacraments, "the Lord is in our midst"; in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, he renews us in His mercy, and in the Eucharist, He will renew us in His love. We only need to have confidence in Him. Take advantage of the treasures He has given us in the faith, these tangible and real signs that echo the voice of John the Baptist as he cries out to us proclaiming the presence of the Lord.
Note: I am back after exams and the end of the semester. Thank you for the prayers!

Jenny Brown is the co-founder and director of Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, an Upstate New York fairytale home to hundreds of rescued farmed animals. In a new book titled The Lucky Ones, Jenny tells the heartwarming story of her transition from a documentary film professional to a tireless advocate for farmed animals. MFA was lucky enough to speak with Jenny about her exciting new book, the important work of Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary, and her brave mission as an undercover investigator in a Texas stockyard.
MFA: What led you to become an advocate for farmed animals?
Jenny Brown: I was 18 years old when I picked up some literature at school about the various ways we mistreat animals, including the animals we eat. I went vegetarian that very day and began looking further into fur, animal testing, animals used in entertainment, and animals used for food. It was an awakening for me. During college in Chicago, I met a woman from PETA while I was waiting tables at the Chicago Diner. She was in town managing a fur protest in front of one of the major department stores, and I asked if I could videotape it for a documentary production class. The event rocked my world and I told her I wanted to become more involved.
That's how it started. From there on, I did several undercover assignments for PETA--not actually obtaining a job at a facility that was abusing animals, but getting in however possible and obtaining footage. My most notable accomplishment was getting inside a pregnant mare urine (PMU) farm in North Dakota, where pregnant horses are kept in a factory farm environment to collect urine used in a drug called Premarin. Millions of women take Premarin for estrogen during menopause. The foals from these farms are typically sold for slaughter for meat to Asian countries. That footage aired in three countries and helped expose the miserable lives the horses endure for Premarin.
MFA: What was your inspiration to start Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary?
Jenny Brown: In 2002, I learned about Farm Sanctuary and became increasingly interested specifically in farmed animal issues. It was a visit to Farm Sanctuary and meeting Gene Baur that led to my undercover assignment to film downed animals--animals too sick or injured to stand up on their own, who are often left to linger for days until a slaughter-bound truck arrives--at various "livestock" stockyards in Texas. That visit changed my life.
Weeks after that trip, I started the biggest job of my professional film career: co-producing and directing an hour-long documentary for Discovery Channel. During the job, I realized that my heart was no longer in the work. I was engulfed by my despair about the abuse of farmed animals, so I packed up my bags and went to work for Farm Sanctuary--learning all that I could about the care of rescued farmed animals and what it takes to operate a sanctuary.
I worked there for almost a year and left with a heap of knowledge under my belt, and the ambition to start a sanctuary of my own. Months later, Doug Abel and I bought a property in Woodstock and built the entire place from the ground up. Farm Sanctuary knew this was ultimately my goal, and in exchange for the hands-on education they gave me, Doug and I work on a number of videos pro bono to help with their fundraising and education efforts.
MFA: What situations do most of Woodstock's animals come from?
Jenny Brown: Many of our animals come from the streets of New York City because of the presence of over 100 "live-kill" markets throughout the five boroughs. Most of these markets are storefront businesses that cater to various cultures and religions and aren't even recognizable as slaughterhouses. You can literally walk in and choose a chicken, turkey, goat, lamb, or calf and wait for them to be slaughtered and butchered. Many animals escape when being loaded in from farms and are picked up by Animal Care and Control or the ASPCA--and Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary is here to accept them. Others come from hoarding or neglect cases and some are escapees from well-known slaughterhouses who make the news and are spared due to public outcry. For those we don't have room for, we work diligently to find loving homes for them.
MFA: Tell us about your new book The Lucky Ones.
Jenny Brown: I was approached by several literary agents after a big story appeared in the New York Times about myself and a little goat named Albie, who was found in a park in NYC. I have an artificial leg below my right knee and I was having a leg made for little Albie, who had to have his leg amputated due to a terrible bone infection that could not be treated. That story sparked a lot of media attention and support from around the world, as well as a book deal!
People are inspired by my personal story of growing up in Louisville, KY, in a conservative Southern Baptist family that ate a lot of animals, my personal transformation to veganism, leaving a lucrative and sought-after career in film, my undercover work, and founding a sanctuary for farmed animals. That seems pretty cool, right? The Lucky Ones is a memoir with a mission: writing the book with my friend and fellow activist Gretchen Primack allowed me to share my knowledge and firsthand interaction with farmed animals, and to share my perspective on the morality of our eating habits. I really put myself out there personally--even including a photo of myself at 16 in my McDonald's uniform.
My hope is that my story of overcoming adversity as a bald and skinny one-legged cancer kid and finding my passion in helping the voiceless among us will inspire others to re-examine their views of farmed animals and see them as the sentient beings they are. Of course, the ultimate goal is to turn everyone who reads it vegan. I'll shamelessly just put that out there. My fight is not just against factory farming--it's against animal agriculture period.
MFA: Undercover investigations are crucial to expose animal abuse. What was the most challenging aspect of being an undercover investigator?
Jenny Brown: Getting access and getting over my nerves! Ultimately, the biggest challenge was seeing the misery that animals were enduring and not being able to help those individuals directly. I wanted to free them all--as any animal lover would--but I knew that by filming the abuse, others could bear witness to the mistreatment and that would help more animals through awareness.
MFA: In The Lucky Ones, you reveal what has been an incredibly busy and constantly changing life. What is next for you?
Jenny Brown: I will always work to change the way our society views and treats farmed animals. Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary not only rescues farmed animals in need--we also advocate on their behalf through educational tours and outreach events. Given our location, hundreds of people come through our doors to see and learn more about farmed animals. We have the unique opportunity to introduce the public to happy, socialized animals who love attention and affection.
Most people have never met a pig or a cow or a chicken, much less ones with names who are living in a loving, respectful environment. Here, when you meet Andy the pig and give him a big ol' belly scratch, people learn how others just like Andy are living and dying before becoming bacon. The majority of our society has never been in contact with the animals they only know as food, much less looked into their eyes and put a face to their food. We try to show them that these animals are all someones, not somethings. We are on the front lines of activism and this is our chosen path of advocacy because it is very effective. Plus, we get to be around the animals we're fighting for on a daily basis. We love them dearly!

YouTube IPO?
By Pete Cashmore 2006-09-05 22:23:52 UTC
The biggest criticism of YouTube is usually that they won't be able monetize their massive audience (100 million YouTube videos per day). However, they're stepping up their game, revealing this weekend that they've recruited the former Yahoo Treasurer Gideon Yu. 35 year-old Yu will become YouTube's chief financial officer.
Some bloggers are speculating that the move is the sign of an upcoming IPO or sale, contradicting co-founder Chad Hurley's claims that a YouTube sale isn't on the cards. YouTube is also building out its revenue streams, adding branded channels with the help of Paris Hilton, and segmenting its audience with releases like YouTube Colleges - potential signs that the company could go it alone.
The other question is: who would buy it? Most of the potential acquirers already have their own video offerings - Google Video, MySpace Video, AOL Video, Yahoo Video and Webshot's upcoming video play to name a few - so there's no obvious match. For now, we'll file this under "wild speculation".

Fouad Mohammad Fouad
Fouad Mohammad Fouad is a Syrian doctor, public health researcher, and poet. He was born in Aleppo in 1961.
In 1980, Fouad was one of a group of younger Syrian writers to participate in the formation of the Aleppo University Conference, a group that made a novel contribution to modern poetry in Syria and the Arab region.
He has published a number of collections of poetry: Taghut al-Kalaam (The Idol of Speech, 1990), Matruk Janiban (Left Aside, 1998), Qal Baydaba (Baydaba Said, 2004) and Ajza' al-Hayawan (TheParts of the Animal, 2010). He participated in a workshop on translation at the International Centre for For Poetry in Marseille, which resulted in the publication in 2002 of a collection entitled Import / Export, Damascus / Marseille. The collection included the work of three Syrian poets and three French poets.
He has published both poems and critical articles in Arabic journals and magazines. Among the conferences in which he has participated are the 'Voices of the Mediterranean' conference on poetry held in France in 2005, the First Cultural Festival for Young Writers held in Algiers in 2009, and the first Conference on the Prose Poem in Cairo in 2010.
In 2007 he participated, along with a group of Egyptian poets, in publishing Muqaddima (Introduction), a journal dedicated to prose poetry.
He's travelled a great deal: desire, curiosity, and his profession have taken him to more than forty countries. This has allowed him to live - in the words of the philosopher, poet, and doctor Avicenna - 'a life that is broad rather than long'. He has written a number of essays on these journeys to be included in a book that will be published in the future.
The circumstances of the war in Syria have forced him to leave Aleppo for Lebanon, where he currently works as visiting professor in the College of Health Sciences at the American University in Beirut.

Sveta Nedelja Folk Costume
TRADITIONAL CLOTHING FROM SVETA NEDELJA
Traditional clothing of Sveta Nedelja can be traced from the end of 19th century until today in its basic forms and functions. Sveta Nedelja is located halfway between Samobor and Zagreb and because of that it was under their great influence.
In the past, the inhabitants of these lowland villages were almost exclusively engaged in agriculture, so in addition to other crops, they grew flax and hemp. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this plant fiber became the basis of both men's and women's clothing. The women processed such plant fibers and wore obtained yarn to professional weavers who sewed the basic parts of the clothing from the obtained cloth. At the beginning of the 20th century, purchased cotton was increasingly introduced into weaving and because of that flax and hemp became the basis of cloth. All basic parts of men's and women's clothing, summer and winter, were made of such kind of cloth.
WOMEN'S TRADITIONAL CLOTHING
Women's clothing, unlike the men's, was more susceptible to change trough out history, but it was worn for a longer period of time, even until the second half of 20th century. In the late 19th century, up until the World War I, the costume was characterized by a few main parts: oplećek, rubača-celača, fertun.
Oplećek is a blouse made out of a longer front and a shorter back stan with long sleeves that are secured at the wrist by wrinkled and tightened part called ošvic, and freely released taclini. Between the stan and the sleeves are gorna and dolna latica. The neckline is tightened and pleated by an ošvic, and the entire front part, nadre, is decorated with colored tying and weaving techniques.
Rubača-celača is a skirt sewn together with modrec, a vest. It is made in two parts, the front straight and two pleated back poles. The front pola is opened at the upper part. Modrec is made in a trapezoid shape with a little triangle cut at the back and an opening at the front.
Fertun is an apron made out of two poles that were pleated and secured by an ošvic. The apron also has trakove.
All mentioned parts of the costume (nadre, modrec, the back part of the rubača and the fertun) are decorated with woven motifs (the technique is called "na daščicu") that are made in red cotton called pisajne. Taclini and ošvice are handwoven in plosni rez and lančanac techniques. Those are the main parts that were worn until the World War I during the summer and the winter.
During the winter some additional pieces made out of leather and fur were added. One of them is haljica, a short coat that accentuated the waist and is made out of dark blue cloth. It also have black fur around the edges. In addition to haljica, Kožun was added – a vest with and accentuated waist that is longer and going over the hips. It is made out of lamb leather and have fur on the inside, while on the outside; it is decorated in a geometric ormanent (influence from the Alps) and different color leather at the edges.
For formal occasions some additional parts were added on the costume. Pas, a red and black belt, a circular laced collar around the neck, špice, and over it a kraluž – a necklace made out of several rows of red coral or glass beads, a decorative pin/needle and a brocade ribbon with plant ornaments. Shoes, grzane čizme, were tied at the heel and at the front. A financial status of the woman could sometimes be determined by the quality of additional pieces such as kraluž and the decorative needle.
During that period in history the hairstyle was strictly defined by a marriage status of the woman, her age and her role in the wedding ceremony, her activity and season of the year.
A girl parted her hair in the middle and braided it in two braids, kite, that were tied at the end with a silk ribbon, mašlin. The mašlin was in one color or in the combination of red, white and blue in everyday life, and in formal occasions it was in many colors with flower motives. A woman that never married wore this hairstyle even in older age, but with a darker colored mašlin.
A bride's hair was braided around a triangle-shaped fajnek that was covered in red fabric and used for shaping the hairstyle. In addition to the costume, the bride also wore a kapenek, a cloak decorated with many colorful motifs. On her hair she also wore naoplet, a bridal headpiece consisting of kapica and venec. It was decorated with flowers in many colors (red was most common), decorative ribbon, little mirrors, metal spirals etc., and all of those decorations had a purpose – they served as protection from evil forces (apotropaic meaning) which couldn't hurt her on the day of the wedding, but also as fertility helpers (red color). The kapica was colorful with two sewn decorations (kokoti) at the forehead. Over the kapica, a rubac was placed. It was a silk headscarf that she wore at the wedding and at the first holy mass after the wedding. During the wedding ceremony, the bride took of her naoplet and over the fanjek a kapica was placed. After the wedding, fajnek and kapica were worn every day and during every occasion. White silk headscarf is then replaced by an ingliški rubac – a red headscarf with printed ornaments. Rubac could be tied under the chin (during winter and while going to church) or at the back of the head (during the summer).
Until the World War I, the everyday, working variant of clothing consisted of the same main parts, but with less decorated weaving and embroidery.
Between the two world wars the biggest change in the costume occurred. The length of the rubača gradually became shorter. More cotton was used and at that time it was a sign of a higher material status. Ornamental motifs that were previously red became darker red and eventually black. Around 1930. less decorative motifs started being used on rubača and fertun, from previous 25-30cm to only about 5 cm. Also, more decorative motifs were being used on the modrec and oplećek in plant ornaments and it became more colorful and bigger. Just before the World War II this type of decorating completely replaced previous woven decoration on the rubača and fertun. Winter parts of the clothing (haljica and kožun) were eventually replaced with a large woolen rubac with fringe. Underneath the rubac a vest with buttons was worn. At that time oplećak was replaced with a blouse and because of the vest that was becoming worn over it more often, the back side of the modrec was less decorated. After the World War II women started wearing bras so the structure of the modrec and rubača was lovered on the waist since it had no longer the function of supporting breasts..
In the wedding ceremony, only the richer women could buy a new style of the wedding dress. New parts of the clothing still had the same shape but the people didn't call it a narodna nošnja anymore – it was called a rubača, since it was the only previous part kept for the new wedding dresses.
MEN'S TRADITIONAL CLOTHING
At the transition from the 19th to the 20th century male parts of the costume were gaće and rubača. Gaće are pants and their length is to the ankle. The pant legs are made from two pieces (two pole) and in between is a square part called turo. Upper part is hemmed and gaćanak passes through it. Rubača is a shirt worn over the gaće. It has a prvi and a zadnji tal (pole) and long sleeves snitched at the wrist with ošvic. Between the stan and the sleeves, gornja and donja latica are placed. In the middle is a neck opening that has a collar (kraglin) and between the kraglin and latica a triangular kozica is placed. Gaće and rubača are decorated with woven white cotton in geometric ornament and sewn in plosni vez and lančanica tecniques. Gaće are decorated above the pant leg hem and rubača on the lower part around the chest opening, also at the kraglin, shoulder and ošvica of the sleeve.
In the winter a kožun was worn. It was long coat inlayed with fur and it also had fur around the hems.
In formal occasions, a man wore gaće with fringe (štranceli) at the bottom. Around the rubača, a leather belt was worn which is decorated with different types of colors of leather. A vest (lajbek) was worn over the rubača and it is decorated dark blue with sewn gajtani. Men also wore boots (čizme) on the feet and a hat (škrlak) on the head.
In the period between the two wars some changes happened to the male costume. Rubača was often made out of cotton, and the decoration of prsača was made out of colorful cotton and plant ornamentation. Kožun was slowly replaced with a short coat. Pants were massively worn and rubača was tucked into them. Gaće were worn only in the winter, under the pants with a belt that wasn't decorated. In the 1930s rubača was slowly abandoned – more in formal occasions than in everyday, work variant. The complete abandonment of the costume (nošnja) was faster amongst men who worked outside of the countryside.

Capital social en la cadena aloe, estado Falcón, Venezuela
Pi?a-Zambrano,Henri; Castellanos-Tua,Juan; Morales-Espinoza,Agustín;
Cuadernos de Desarrollo Rural , 2011,
Abstract: social capital is a relatively current notion. it is located at the conceptual level of the social system relationship, being alternatively a resource and a mean to access goods. under this conception, social capital is transformed into a tool in the living strategy of the individuals to grant them contact to other resources, increase their involvement with organizations and to promote action plans directed to improve their social participation levels. following this premise, research was conducted in order to quantify and qualify the existence of the social capital in the aloe's chain in the falcon state, in terms of its nature as an interrelationship promoter among its economical agents that influence its evolution dynamics. the methodology is sustained in the established relationship by the chain agents. the results show that such relationship among individuals related to the aloe's culture is mainly directed by informal institutions developed along time. in the same way, it is highlighted the strong capital reflected in the attitude and proactivity of the members of the chain when the bond oriented to conform a solid base for the connection with the different items related to the aloe's culture is established with the aim of sustaining a scheme of rural development.
Parasitosis intestinal en ni os, en áreas de alta marginación socioeconómica de la región fronteriza de Chiapas, México
Morales-Espinoza Emma Marianela,Sánchez-Pérez Héctor Javier,García-Gil María del Mar,Vargas-Morales Guadalupe
Salud Pública de México , 2003,
Abstract: OBJETIVO: Estimar la prevalencia de parasitosis intestinal en ni os de zonas de alta marginación y su asociación con indicadores demográficos y socioeconómicos de interés. MATERIAL Y MéTODOS: En una muestra de 1478 menores de edad, de entre 1 a 14 a os, provenientes de 32 comunidades de la región fronteriza de Chiapas, México, de marzo a septiembre de 1998, se recolectaron tres muestras de heces fecales, seleccionadas aleatoriamente a partir del grado de marginación (alto y muy alto) del municipio al que pertenecen, y distancia de la unidad de salud más cercana a la comunidad (<1 hora; 1 hora o más). En una de cada cuatro viviendas con ni os menores de 15 a os de edad, seleccionadas aleatoriamente, se obtuvieron tres muestras de heces fecales de éstos. Se efectuaron análisis bivariados con la prueba de ji cuadrada y multivariados con modelos lineales generalizados. RESULTADOS: La prevalencia global de parasitosis fue de 67% (intervalo de confianza IC 95% 64-70%). Sesenta por ciento de los ni os estaban multiparasitados. La prevalencia de Entamoeba histolytica/E dispar fue de 51.2%, de Giardia lamblia, 18.3% y de Ascaris lumbricoides, 14.5%. La mayor prevalencia de E histolytica/E dispar se asoció con la edad y hablar algún idioma indígena; la de Ascaris lumbricoides con el sitio de obtención de agua y la carencia de refrigerador y electricidad. CONCLUSIONES: Es necesario hacer intervenciones locales de salud (calidad del agua, sistemas de desagüe), programas de educación sanitaria (promoción de la lactancia materna y medidas higiénicas) y promoción del habla de idiomas indígenas entre los médicos de la región.
Synthesis of Porphyrin-Dendrimers with a Pyrene in the Periphery and Their Cubic Nonlinear Optical Properties
Eric G. Morales-Espinoza,Irina V. Lijanova,Omar G. Morales-Saavedra,Vícente Torres-Zu?iga,Simon Hernandez-Ortega,Marcos Martínez-García
Molecules , 2011, DOI: 10.3390/molecules16086950
Abstract: Dendrons of pyrene derivatives were attached to a porphyrin core. A marked effect in solution for the dendrimers was observed in the absorption spectra. All the compounds obtained were characterized by 1H-, 13C-NMR, FTIR, UV-vis, MALDI-TOF or FAB+ mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The cubic nonlinear optical behavior of some the synthesized compounds was tested via Z-Scan measurements in spin-coated film samples.

Morales-Espinoza,Emma Marianela; Sánchez-Pérez,Héctor Javier; García-Gil,María del Mar; Vargas-Morales,Guadalupe; Méndez-Sánchez,José Domingo; Pérez-Ramírez,Margarita;
Salud Pública de México , 2003, DOI: 10.1590/S0036-36342003000500008
Abstract: objective: to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among children in highly deprived areas, and its possible association with demographic and socioeconomic indicators. material and methods: from march to september 1998 in a convenience sample of 32 communities of the border region of chiapas, mexico, selected at random based on the level of poverty and distance from the community to the nearest health care unit (<1 hour; 1 hour or more), one of every four households with children under 15 years of age was randomly selected to provide three stool samples from their children (n 1478). bivariate and multivariate (generalized linear models for correlated binary data) analysis were performed. results: the global prevalence of intestinal parasitosis was 67% (95% confidence interval [ci] 64-70%). sixty percent had multiple parasites. the prevalence of entamoeba histolytica/e dispar was 51.2%, that of giardia lamblia 18.3%, and that of ascaris lumbricoides 14.5%. multivariate analysis showed that age and speaking an indigenous language were significantly associated with the presence of e histolytica/ e dispar and giardia lamblia. source of water and lacking a refrigerator and electricity were associated with the presence of ascaris lumbricoides. conclusions: measures should be taken to improve water quality, sewage disposal, and domestic hygiene. furthermore, health programs should be established to promote breast-feeding, and education policies aimed at reinforcing the use of indigenous languages by physicians in the health services.
Dendrimers Containing Ferrocene and Porphyrin Moieties: Synthesis and Cubic Non-Linear Optical Behavior
Eric G. Morales-Espinoza,Karla E. Sanchez-Montes,Elena Klimova,Tatiana Klimova,Irina V. Lijanova,José L. Maldonado,Gabriel Ramos-Ortíz,Simón Hernández-Ortega,Marcos Martínez-García
Abstract: Dendrons with ferrocenyl ended groups joined by styryl moieties were attached to a porphyrin core. All the dendrons used for dendrimer synthesis showed trans configuration. The chemical structure of the first generation dendron was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic studies. The structure of the synthesized dendrimers was confirmed by 1H- and 13C-NMR, electrospray mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Cubic non-linear optical behavior of the ferrocene and porphyrin-containing dendrimers was studied in solid thin films by THG Maker-Fringe technique at 1,260 nm.
Chronic Deep Brain Stimulation of the Hypothalamic Nucleus in Wistar Rats Alters Circulatory Levels of Corticosterone and Proinflammatory Cytokines
Juan Manuel Calleja-Castillo,Dora Luz De La Cruz-Aguilera,Joaquín Manjarrez,Marco Antonio Velasco-Velázquez,Gabriel Morales-Espinoza,Julia Moreno-Aguilar,Maria Eugenia Hernández,Lucinda Aguirre-Cruz,Lenin Pavón
Journal of Immunology Research , 2013, DOI: 10.1155/2013/698634
Abstract: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a therapeutic option for several diseases, but its effects on HPA axis activity and systemic inflammation are unknown. This study aimed to detect circulatory variations of corticosterone and cytokines levels in Wistar rats, after 21 days of DBS-at the ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMHvl), unilateral cervical vagotomy (UCVgX), or UCVgX plus DBS. We included the respective control (C) and sham (S) groups ( rats per group). DBS treated rats had higher levels of TNF- (120%; ) and IFN- (305%; ) but lower corticosterone concentration (48%; ) than C and S. UCVgX animals showed increased corticosterone levels (154%; ) versus C and S. UCVgX plus DBS increased IL-1 (402%; ), IL-6 (160%; ), and corsticosterone (178%; versus 48%; ) compared with the C and S groups. Chronic DBS at VMHvl induced a systemic inflammatory response accompanied by a decrease of HPA axis function. UCVgX rats experienced HPA axis hyperactivity as result of vagus nerve injury; however, DBS was unable to block the HPA axis hyperactivity induced by unilateral cervical vagotomy. Further studies are necessary to explore these findings and their clinical implication. 1. Introduction The clinical use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) has increased in recent years [1]. This treatment has become a therapeutic option for pathologies that are associated with chronic pain and movement disorders [2] as well as for refractory depression [3] or epilepsy [4]. Such patients can be treated with direct electrical stimulation at the vagus nerve [5, 6] or at deep nuclei of the hypothalamus [4, 7–9]. The use of DBS in humans entails the implantation of a generator of electric current (commonly under the collarbone) and bilateral electrodes that transmit a continuous current to precise stereotaxic coordinates into the brain [10]. Although DBS was initially considered to mimic a lesion, the mechanism by which this therapy exerts its effects in vivo is complex and incompletely understood [11]. The electric stimulation of nerves triggers depolarization of the membrane in the associated neurons [12]. Accordingly, DBS devices induce axonal activation and neuronal inhibition in animal models [2, 13, 14]. Theoretically, these effects evoke activity in areas that received axonal projections that are adjacent to the stimulating electrode [15, 16]. The reported changes on neurotransmitters levels at anatomical area in which DBS is applied [17, 18] support this concept. The hypothalamic nuclei are regions of interest to assess the interaction that exists between
Estrategias empresariales en la era global: El caso del complejo sectorial venezolano de grasas y aceites
Morales Espinoza,Agustín;
Agroalimentaria , 2001,
Abstract: in order to study the current restructuring processes in both venezuelan agri-food industry and venezuelan oils and fats industry, the first part of this work refers to tendencies that stand out within the international context as a consequence of the opening and integration economic process. in the second part, using the analytic axes made up of cargill, unilever, nestlé, mavesa and polar industries, the restructuring business process which has occurred in the comestible fat and oil branches of the industries is analyzed. the result of the analysis indicates that since the economic opening and integration were adopted by the venezuelan government, the process of business restructuring has intensified and, consequently, the corresponding index of concentration of these food industries has intensified. in the third part, the implications of this phenomena were analyzed on the complex of fat and oils sector, in particular in the agricultural sector, imports, consumption and also, food security.
Una interpretación del fenómeno Mercal desde la perspectiva teórica de la economía neoinstitucional
Abstract: this work has been carried out to analyze the transformation which is occurring in the venezuela urban distribution system as a consequence of the conception and development of the public enterprise, called mercal. in order to carry out this objective, it was first necessary to present the theoretical-conceptual framework that oriented its development. secondly, the context within which this state business came about is discussed. then, the transformations that were produced in the referred to system were analyzed and at the same time, the implications of the presence of mercal for the local economic agents in this system were determined. finally, an interpretation of the mercal ?phenomena? is proposed within the previously established theoretical framework.
Reconfiguración del sector agroalimentario venezolano en el contexto de la globalización
Revista Venezolana de Economía y Ciencias Sociales , 2005,
Abstract: the thesis proposed in this article is that the paradigms and approaches hitherto used to analyze the configuration and functioning of the venezuelan agro-food sector (vas) are no longer altogether satisfactory. the transformations leading to a notable concentration and internationalization of the firms involved in the distribution of food have undermined the foundations of existing interpretations. the author criticizes current interpretations and proposes an alternative theoretical and methodological analysis that permits a more appropriate interpretation of the recent transformations that have occurred in the vas.
Economía neoinstitucional, coordinación vertical y formación de precios: estudio de un caso relacionado con la carne de pollo
Castillo López,Ricardo; Morales Espinoza,Agustín;
Abstract: the objective of the present work is to interpret a concrete case of establishing prices at the poultry producer level. the first part of this work analyzes how contracting has become the governing way of coordinating the private sector, contributing peculiarities to the process of price formation, particularly those which cause neoclassical economic theory to loose its explanation capacity. the neoinstitutional economy point of view was reviewed in the second stage as an alternative perspective for analysis of the mentioned process. during this stage, the theoretical elements of neoinstitutional economy were reviewed and the agents of the organization of poultry producers were interpreted under this point of view. lastly, the process of price formation in the poultry industry as a concrete case is interpreted. the results point out that price formation for poultry is carried out using a formula whose particular characteristics permit lowering of transaction costs, of the producers as well as the balanced food industries. through this mechanism of price formulation, the greater part of the risks associated with this productive activity is shared between these two economic agents.


John was to bear witness that Jesus Christ came from heaven as the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sin of the world - by grace through faith, so that all who believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.
But John was not merely an earthly witness, pointing us to Christ. John was a voice crying in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of the Lord. John was the one who recognised the glory of the Lord, about whom he was testifying and cried out: He must increase and I must decrease. John pointed people to the Lord Jesus.. for Christ Himself, was sent to bear heavenly witness of the invisible God, Who loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.
Believing in the existence of Jesus does not result in eternal life, for the historical evidence of His existence, (in both sacred and secular writings), is irrefutable. Eternal life is only received by believing that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and that salvation is a gracious gift of God, that is received by faith in His cruel death and His glorious resurrection.. He redeemed us from the curse of the Law, and secured redemption and the forgiveness of sin.. for all who would trust in His finished work at Calvary, for the salvation of their soul.
God has given Christ the power and authority to bestow everlasting life on all who trust in Him for their salvation.. and it is granted simply by believing on Him, for He who believes in the Son has eternal life. But the chilling words that follow warn us that whoever chooses to reject the clear teaching of the gospel of grace, will experience shocking and eternal consequences: for he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.
Heavenly Father, thank You that You loved me so much that You sent Jesus to die on the cross in my place. Thank you that He rose again from the dead, so that by faith in Him I might not experience the shocking and eternal consequences of God's wrath, but receive the free gift of eternal life. Thank You for Your amazing grace. Thank you that You loved me so much that while I was still under Your wrath and dead in my trespasses and sins, Christ died for me. I pray that I might live for Him. To Him be all praise and glory, for ever and ever AMEN.
