Since I can't find the email addresses of the trustees, I am only sending this message to you and hope you can forward it to them. There is one thing I would like to bring up to your attention. Yesterday the village started a project to fix the curb stone on Montrose Road close to the Greenacres elementary school. While I was very excited to see the workers working on that, soon I realized the way they were doing it could cause safety and traffic problems in that area. I called the engineering department right away before the workers put in cement and hope somehow the way of doing it could be improved. Later I sent an email with pictures to show how narrow the pedestrian space was and how high the stones were set. I found out today that the workers were told to finish the job as planned. I am attaching three additional pictures during pick-up time today. I hope, for the safety of the children and the pedestrians, this issue can be addressed and resolved. Otherwise, I would wish the best luck for all the pedestrians (including some 5-years-old kindergarten children) and the drivers on this road everyday. Thanks for your attention!

On my way to pick up, I was very excited to see workers were fixing the curbside on Montrose Road and really appreciate your doing it! But later when I came back, I noticed where and how the workers are setting up the curb stones could cause serious safety hazards. It would leave less than two feets of space for pedestrians. While we all know for historical reasons, our village doesn’t have much sidewalks. But this area is quite different from other areas. It is very close to the elementary school with heavy traffic during morning and afternoon. Many parents walk their kids to school in this neighborhood and some have strollers with their younger children. I am sending a few pictures I just took and you can see there is barely space for strollers. Again we really appreciate you fixing the road but the workers may not be doing it in the right way. My suggestion would be: 1. Re-set the stone at least one to two feet more into the side; 2. Dig deeper so the stones won’t be too much higher than the surface of the road. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you! Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone <IMG_5106.JPG><IMG_5107.JPG><Montrose pict3.jpg><Montrose pict4.jpg><Montrose pict5.jpg> .

Biblioteca Saveriana Fondo Libri Cinesi (SBC) 圣方济沙勿略会图书馆中文馆藏 Il fondo libri in lingua cinese ha origine quasi con l'inizio della Biblioteca Saveriana (fine sec. XIX), grazie ai libri mandati o portati dalla Cina dai missionari. Nel 2011 il fondo è stato arricchito da una importante donazione, oltre 300 opere, ricevuta dalla Biblioteca S. Antonio (PD). Così il fondo è ora costituito da circa 1100 opere in circa 1800 volumi. Parte dei libri era già stata catalogata dal professor 杨铸 Yang Zhu e da sua moglie 汪又红 Wang Youhong durante la loro permanenza presso i Missionari Saveriani a Parma dal 19 al 24 luglio 2010.

Florida Entomologist 97(1) (March, 2014) at http://purl.fcla.edu/fcla/entomologist/browse Corresponding author: Dr. Zeng-Rong ZHU Institute of Insect Sciences, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310058, China Tel./fax: +86 571 88982355; E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Many factors affect the distribution of species in nature and temperature is one of the most profound. For poikilothermic groups such as insects, the capacity to adapt to different temperature regimes is particularly important for invasive species. To investigate the possible role of heat shock proteins (Hsps) in the success of the invasive pest, the rice water weevil (Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel, Coleoptera: Curculionidae), we first analyzed the composition and expression profile of Hsp families under sub-lethal temperatures of 0 °C and 43 °C, using the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Eight genes coding Hsp90, Hsp70, and small Hsps were up-regulated under heat stress, while only 1 Hsp70 gene and 1 Hsp90 gene were up-regulated under cold stress. Results indicate that Hsps from all families except Hsp60 are responsible for the capacity of L. oryzophilus to tolerate temperature stress though more genes were up-regulated, and more rapidly, under heat stress than under cold stress. A second study compared Hsp expression patterns in diapausing and non-diapausing female adults. Insects in diapause up-regulated no Hsp gene but 4 small Hsps, 2 Hsp90, 1 Hsp70 and 1 Hsp60 genes were down-regulated.

Abstract Most populations now use hereditary surnames, and most societies have patrilineal surnames. This naming system is believed to have started almost 5000 years ago in China. According to legends and ancient history books, there were Eight Great Xings of High Antiquity that were the ancestors of most Chinese surnames today and are thought to be descended from the two legendary prehistoric Emperors Yan and Huang. Recent work identified three Neolithic super-grandfathers represented by Y chromosome haplotypes, O3a1c, O3a2c1, and O3a2c1a, which makes it possible to test the tales of Yan-Huang and their descendant surnames. We performed two independent surveys of contemporary Han Chinese males (total number of subjects 2415) and divided the subjects into four groups based on the relationships of their surnames with the Eight Great Xings, Jiang (Yan), Ying (Huang), Ji(Huang), and Others (5 remaining Xings related to Huang).

Sundarapandian Professor, Research and Development Centre Vel Tech Dr. RR & Dr. SR Technical University Avadi, Chennai-600 062, INDIA [email protected] Abstract : The purpose of this paper is to study chaos anti-synchronization of identical Liu-Chen-Liu chaotic systems (Liu, Chen and Liu, 2007), identical Liu-Su-Liu chaotic systems (Liu, Su and Liu, 2006), and non-identical Liu-Chen-Liu and Liu-Su-Liu chaotic systems using active nonlinear control. Sufficient conditions for achieving anti-synchronization of the identical and different Liu-Chen-Liu and Liu-Su-Lu chaotic sytsems using active nonlinear control are derived based on Lyapunov stability theory. Since the Lyapunov exponents are not required for these calculations, the nonlinear feedback control method is effective and convenient to anti-synchronize identical and different Liu-Chen- Liu and Liu-Su-Liu chaotic systems. Numerical simulations are also given to illustrate and validate the anti-synchronization results for Liu- Chen-Liu and Liu-Su-Liu chaotic systems. Keywords: Chaos Anti-synchronization, Nonlinear Control, Liu-Chen-Liu System, Liu-Su-Liu System, Active Control. anti-synchronization of Liu-Chen-Liu and Liu-Su-Liu chaotic I. INTRODUCTION systems.

The Stockholm University Linnaeus Center for Integration Studies (SULCIS) Giving Up Foreign Names: An Empirical Examination of Surname Change and Earnings Mahmood Arai and Peter Skogman Thoursie SULCIS Working Paper 2007:1 ISSN 1654-1189 The Stockholm University Linnaeus Center for Integration Studies (SULCIS) SULCIS is a multi-disciplinary research center focusing on migration and integration funded by a Linnaeus Grant from the Swedish Research Council (VR). SULCIS consists of affiliated researchers at the Department of Criminology, the Department of Economics, the Department of Human Geography, the Department of Sociology and the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI). For more information, see our website: www.su.se/sulcis SULCIS Working Paper Series 2007:1 Arai, M & Skogman Thoursie, P., “Giving Up Foreign Names: An empirical Examination of Surname Change and Earnings” Giving up Foreign Names: An Empirical Examination of Surname Change and Earnings Mahmood Arai and Peter Skogman Thoursie ∗ December 20, 2006 Abstract In this paper we compare the earnings development for a group of immigrants that changes their names to Swedish-sounding or neutral names with immigrants who retain their names from the same region of birth. Our results indicate that name-changers are apparently similar to name-keepers and the earnings before the name change is essentially the same for both groups. However, an earnings gap after the name change is observed. The earnings gap corresponds to on average ap- proximately 26 percent. Our understanding of the data and our results is that the groups are similar before the name change and that the earnings gap after the name change should be attributed to the name change.

Health Insurance Reform and HMO Penetration in the Small Group Market Thomas C. Buchmueller. Su Liu NBER Working Paper No. 11446 June 2005 JEL No. I10, I18 ABSTRACT We use data from several national employer surveys conducted between the late 1980s and the mid- 1990s to investigate the effect of state-level underwriting reforms on HMO penetration in the small- group health insurance market. We identify reform effects by exploiting cross-state variation in the timing and content of reform legislation and by using mid-sized and large employers, which were not affected by the legislation, as within-state control groups. While it is difficult to disentangle the effect of state reforms from other factors affecting HMO penetration in the small group markets, the results suggest a positive relationship between insurance market regulations and HMO penetration.

A Comparison of the Korean and Japanese Approaches to Foreign Family Names
15 A Comparison of the Korean and Japanese Approaches to Foreign Family Names JIN Guanglin* Abstract There are many foreign family names in Korean and Japanese genealogies. This paper is especially focused on the fact that out of approximately 280 Korean family names, roughly half are of foreign origin, and that out of those foreign family names, the majority trace their beginnings to China. In Japan, the Newly Edited Register of Family Names (新撰姓氏錄), published in 815, records that out of 1,182 aristocratic clans in the capital and its surroundings, 326 clans—approximately one-third—originated from China and Korea. Does the prevalence of foreign family names reflect migration from China to Korea, and from China and Korea to Japan? Or is it perhaps a result of Korean Sinophilia (慕華思想) and Japanese admiration for Korean and Chinese cultures? Or could there be an entirely distinct explanation? First I discuss premodern Korean and ancient Japanese foreign family names, and then I examine the formation and characteristics of these family names. Next I analyze how migration from China to Korea, as well as from China and Korea to Japan, occurred in their historical contexts. Through these studies, I derive answers to the above-mentioned questions. Key words: family names (surnames), Chinese-style family names, cultural diffusion and adoption, migration, Sinophilia in traditional Korea and Japan 1 Foreign Family Names in Premodern Korea The precise number of Korean family names varies by record. The Geography Annals of King Sejong (世宗實錄地理志, 1454), the first systematic register of Korean family names, records 265 family names, but the Survey of the Geography of Korea (東國輿地勝覽, 1486) records 277.

It was validated with the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). Results show that the proportion who self-reported as Chinese has high agreement with the proportion identified by the surname list in the CCHS. The surname list was applied to the Alberta Health Insurance Plan registry database to define the Chinese ethnic population, and to the Vital Statistics Death Registry to assess the Chinese ethnic population mortality in Alberta.

A Guide to Names and Naming Practices
March 2006 AA GGUUIIDDEE TTOO NN AAMMEESS AANNDD NNAAMMIINNGG PPRRAACCTTIICCEESS This guide has been produced by the United Kingdom to aid with difficulties that are commonly encountered with names from around the globe. Interpol believes that member countries may find this guide useful when dealing with names from unfamiliar countries or regions. Interpol is keen to provide feedback to the authors and at the same time develop this guidance further for Interpol member countries to work towards standardisation for translation, data transmission and data entry. The General Secretariat encourages all member countries to take advantage of this document and provide feedback and, if necessary, updates or corrections in order to have the most up to date and accurate document possible. A GUIDE TO NAMES AND NAMING PRACTICES 1. Names are a valuable source of information. They can indicate gender, marital status, birthplace, nationality, ethnicity, religion, and position within a family or even within a society. However, naming practices vary enormously across the globe. The aim of this guide is to identify the knowledge that can be gained from names about their holders and to help overcome difficulties that are commonly encountered with names of foreign origin. 2. The sections of the guide are governed by nationality and/or ethnicity, depending on the influencing factor upon the naming practice, such as religion, language or geography. Inevitably, this guide is not exhaustive and any feedback or suggestions for additional sections will be welcomed. How to use this guide 4. Each section offers structured guidance on the following: a. typical components of a name: e.g.
