Deepening the Furrow

I found having to write about religion and literature very difficult, and talking about it even more so. A lifetime of questioning reduced to a 15- minute statement! I wince hearing the untransmuted voice (my own in particular) trying to formulate what my teachers and poets like Auden and Eliot long ago assured me was none of poetry's business to deliver, namely, a message. As Alan Bennett remarked about Prince Charles at John Betjeman's memorial service: 'Never read the Bible as if it means something. Or at any rate don't try and mean it.

Features of galactic halo in a brane world model and observational constraints

Several aspects of the 4d imprint of the 5d bulk Weyl radiation are investigated within a recently proposed model solution. It is shown that the solution has a number of physically interesting properties. The constraints on the model imposed by combined measurements of rotation curve and lensing are discussed. A brief comparison with a well known scalar field model is also given.Comment: 17 pages.

Stress Processes: An Essential Ingredient in the Entrepreneurial Process

The entrepreneurial process is associated with high uncertainty. Uncertainty is also a major source of stress. Therefore, a core aim of entrepreneurs is to reduce uncertainty to an extent that allows the entrepreneurial process to unfold. However, entrepreneurship scholars have insufficiently addressed stress processes that may be associated with this uncertainty. We argue that uncertainty is the concept connecting both the entrepreneurial and stress processes. We discuss the link between the two processes regarding: (1) opportunity recognition, (2) opportunity exploitation, and (3) associated outcomes. We then illustrate how future research should incorporate the interaction between the two processes using a morphological box and discuss how such research would change the way we specify entrepreneurial process models and study entrepreneurial behavior
