27343375_0_0	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Homo reciprocans, or reciprocating human, is the concept in some economic theories of humans as cooperative actors who are motivated by improving their environment through positive reciprocity (rewarding other individuals) or negative reciprocity (punishing other individuals), even in situations without foreseeable benefit for themselves.
27343375_0_1	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. This concept stands in contrast to the idea of homo economicus, which states the opposite theory that human beings are exclusively motivated by self-interest. However, the two ideas can be reconciled if we assume that utility functions of the homo economicus can have parameters that are dependent to the perceived utility of other agents (such as one's spouse or children).
27343375_0_2	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Kropotkin Russian theorist Peter Kropotkin wrote about the concept of "mutual aid" in the early part of the 20th century.
27343375_0_3	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Examples The Homo reciprocans concept states that human being players interact with a propensity to cooperate. They will compromise in order to achieve a balance between what is best for them and what is best for the environment they are a part of. Homo reciprocans players, however, also are motivated by justification. If a second player is perceived as having done something wrong or insulting, the first player is willing to "take a hit", even with no foreseeable benefits, in order for the second player to suffer.
27343375_0_4	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. A common example of this interaction is the haggler and shopkeeper. If the haggler wants a deal and the shopkeeper wants a sale, the haggler must carefully choose a price for the shopkeeper to consider. The shopkeeper will consider a lower price (or a price in between) based on the benefit of selling a product. If the haggler's offer is a low-ball, which may be offensive to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper may refuse simply on the grounds that he is offended, and will knowingly and purposely lose the sale.
27343375_0_5	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Positive and negative reciprocity Reciprocal players are willing to reward behaviour that is just or fair, and to punish unjust or unfair behaviour. Empirical evidence suggests that positive and negative reciprocity are fundamentally different behavioral dispositions in the sense that the values for positive and negative reciprocity in individuals are only weakly correlated and that these values correlate differently with factors such as gender or age. A possible explanation is "that negative and positive reciprocity are different because they tap into different emotional responses".
27343375_0_6	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Positive reciprocity correlates with height, with increasing age, with female gender, with higher income as well as higher number of hours of work, with a higher number of friends and with higher overall life satisfaction. Evidence indicates that "married individuals are more positively reciprocal, but are not different from the unmarried in terms of negative reciprocity". Among employees, negative reciprocity appear to be correlated with a higher number of sick days. Positive reciprocity correlates with low unemployment, and negative reciprocity strongly correlates with unemployment. High levels of positive reciprocity correlate with higher income, but no correlation appears to exist between negative reciprocity and income.

Sex, Age, and Height A study conducted by Thomas Dohmen and his team of behavioral economists investigated the determinants of trust and reciprocity, in which their results indicated that women hold a higher propensity to trust and, thus reciprocate, than men. This finding is echoed by Warneken and Tomasello’s study on reciprocity in children, through which they found that girls are more prosocial than boys.
27343375_1_1	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Determining Propensity to Reciprocate of Homo Reciprocans Thomas Dohmen and his team of behavioral economists also found a positive correlation between both age and height and one’s trust, meaning that the taller a person is, the more willing they are to trust, and the same idea applies to age—the older one gets, the more trusting they are.
27343375_1_2	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Determining Propensity to Reciprocate of Homo Reciprocans Ernst Fehr and Simon Gächter, professors of behavioral economics at the University of Zurich, discovered through their study that women and the elderly are more apt to perform reciprocal behaviors.
27343375_1_3	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Personality Dohmen’s study on the Big 5 personality types as determinants of trust and reciprocity concluded that all personality types impact one’s propensity to reciprocate positively. On the other hand, in regards to negative reciprocity, they found that extraversion and openness have little to no effect, but people who land on the higher end of the neuroticism spectrum tend to be more negatively reciprocal, while those who are more conscientious and agreeable tend to be less so.
27343375_1_4	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Culture Cultural psychologists Joan Miller and David Bersoff, in an experimental study in 1994, found that Americans receive greater utility in providing help under a reciprocity condition than without one; on the other hand, Indians displayed virtually no difference in utility with or without a prior reciprocal occasion.
27343375_1_5	27343375	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans	Homo reciprocans	Homo reciprocans. Determining Propensity to Reciprocate of Homo Reciprocans In a similar study conducted by Miller and seven other psychologists, they found that Indians base their reciprocal acts on communal norms while Americans’ are contingent on reciprocal exchanges. An example of such difference is that Indians act upon their peers’ requests for assistance repeatedly throughout their lifetimes, whereas Americans show reciprocal behaviors shortly, and only, after altruistic acts were performed towards them.

Perceived Motives Yesim Orhun, a professor of marketing at the University of Michigan Ross School Business, emphasizes the significance of people’s perceived dispositions in reciprocal situations in her research on perceived motives and reciprocity. She asserts that generosity becomes polluted if the impression of an expected return of favor is given during an act of kindness. However, she also notes that perceived kindness is only a factor in positive reciprocity because the intentions of a person who commits harmful acts are apparent, but those of a person who performs beneficial acts are ambiguous, unsure of intentions behind.

Minnesota in the assault on Fort Fisher, 15 January 1865. Landing on the beach with the assaulting party from his ship, Ordinary Seaman Harcourt advanced to the top of the sand hill and partly through the breach in the palisades despite enemy fire which killed or wounded many officers and men. When more than two-thirds of the men became seized with panic and retreated on the run, he remained with the party until dark when it came safely away, bringing its wounded, its arms and its colors."

The Rootkit Arsenal: Escape and Evasion in the Dark Corners of the System is a book written by Bill Blunden, published by Jones & Bartlett Publishers in May 2009. The book takes the reader in depth about rootkit technology and uses. It covers topics such as IA-32 assembly, the Windows system architecture, kernel debugging, advanced rootkit development, and much more concerning rootkit technology and how it can be applied onto e.g. white hat hacking. The book also provides many source code examples on rootkit development and how to properly use it. It is required and recommended to have a fair understanding of computer programming and operating systems in order to fully comprehend the contents of the book, as the back cover states it is an advanced book on its topic.
27343412_0_1	27343412	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Rootkit%20Arsenal	The Rootkit Arsenal	The Rootkit Arsenal. Content The book is divided into four parts, and each of the 14 chapters goes into detail about specific technology and information required in advanced rootkit development and use. It also provides information about network and file system analysises, kernel objects, drivers, and much more related to rootkit technology. The reader can create a fully working rootkit by using the source codes in the appendix. The product description states that the book sheds light on material that has traditionally been poorly documented, partially documented, or intentionally undocumented.

27343412_0_3	27343412	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Rootkit%20Arsenal	The Rootkit Arsenal	The Rootkit Arsenal. Computing Reviews writes about this book "This book addresses a controversial and timely issue in the field of network security. Rootkits are notoriously used by the black hat hacking community. A rootkit allows an attacker to subvert a compromised system. This subversion can take place at the application level, as is the case for the early rootkits that replaced a set of common administrative tools, but can be more dangerous when it occurs at the kernel level. A rootkit hides the network traffic, processes, and files that an attacker decides to keep invisible to administrators and system management tools… If you work on defensive solutions—anti-virus and malware detection tools—or are interested in low-level system programming, you must read this book. In fact, for the intended audience, this is one of the best books of 2009."

Mission statement With the accelerated approach of the global climate-change point-of-no-return the need to address the pivotal role of renewable energy in the formation of coping strategies, rather than prevention, is more crucial than ever. Sustainability, green buildings, and the development of the large-scale renewable energy industry must be at the top of all development, economic, financial and political agendas. The time for action has arrived. Prevention and questioning how and why we face this great challenge is a luxury we can no longer indulge. We welcome the establishment of the long overdue International Renewable Energy Agency which we hope will work side-by-side with similar intergovernmental agencies striving for the adoption of renewable energies.

Shenandoah Downs was a five-furlong horse-racing track located just outside the eastern limits of Charles Town, West Virginia, United States, that operated from 1959 through 1975. When it opened it featured night racing, a novelty at the time, initially running harness races. After operations began, the owners asked the West Virginia Racing Commission to allow thoroughbred racing, competing with the day races at adjacent Charles Town Races. Following litigation, the request was granted and the track converted to nighttime flat racing. Nighttime racing followed at Charles Town in 1965 and the adjoining tracks were allotted roughly equal numbers of racing days. In 1972 Charles Town was purchased by the owners of Shenandoah Downs. In 1976 Shenandoah Downs was closed down. In 1978 after both tracks were sold to a new owner, Shenandoah Downs briefly reopened. The Shenandoah Downs track was operated as a training track afterwards, until the site was developed. The grandstand remained until 2006 when it was demolished.

27343478_1_0	27343478	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remo%20Rossi	Remo Rossi	Remo Rossi. Biography A Family of "marmorini" from Arzo to Locarno Remo Rossi was born in Locarno on 27 September 1909. Both Ettore, his father, and Gualtiero, his grandfather, came from Arzo (Ticino, Switzerland) and were active as marble artisans and sculptors (called marmorini). Remo's mother was from the Jacometti family livingin Intra (a small city on the Italian shores of Lago Maggiore.)
27343478_1_1	27343478	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remo%20Rossi	Remo Rossi	Remo Rossi. Biography Nesto Jacometti, graphic designer and collector, an uncle on his mother's side, became an important link for Remo with the French cultural world. In the main church of Arzo, built in 1600, Remo's great-grandfather Antonio had sculpted the Pulpito marmoreo. Records indicate that Antonio died in Locarno in 1898, thus suggesting that the family had already moved from Arzo in the early 19th century. Remo's grandfather Gualtiero was born in Locarno in 1852, where he died in 1930. Ettore, Remo's father, built his first Atelier (workshop) just below his house located in Piazza Castello.

Style and impact The style of Remo Rossi was modified over the years from the pure academic level of the 1930s and 1940s which was maximally expressed in the feminine nudes and with the rounded shapes of large animals. Remo then progressed to more geometric and rigid shapes in several Opere di arte sacra, in the Acrobati, and in scenes portraying humans and animals. The de-materialisation observable in the latest works seem to be inspired by the shapes typical of Alberto Giacometti in which the plasticity loses compactness and where the empty spaces prevail over the filled spaces.

Homo reciprocans

Homo reciprocans. Homo reciprocans, or reciprocating human, is the concept in some economic theories of humans as cooperative actors who are motivated by improving their environment through positive reciprocity (rewarding other individuals) or negative reciprocity (punishing other individuals), even in situations without foreseeable benefit for themselves.

27343375

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo%20reciprocans

Homo reciprocans

Homo reciprocans. This concept stands in contrast to the idea of homo economicus, which states the opposite theory that human beings are exclusively motivated by self-interest. However, the two ideas can be reconciled if we assume that utility functions of the homo economicus can have parameters that are dependent to the perceived utility of other agents (such as one's spouse or children).

Homo reciprocans. Examples The Homo reciprocans concept states that human being players interact with a propensity to cooperate. They will compromise in order to achieve a balance between what is best for them and what is best for the environment they are a part of. Homo reciprocans players, however, also are motivated by justification. If a second player is perceived as having done something wrong or insulting, the first player is willing to "take a hit", even with no foreseeable benefits, in order for the second player to suffer.

Homo reciprocans

Homo reciprocans. A common example of this interaction is the haggler and shopkeeper. If the haggler wants a deal and the shopkeeper wants a sale, the haggler must carefully choose a price for the shopkeeper to consider. The shopkeeper will consider a lower price (or a price in between) based on the benefit of selling a product. If the haggler's offer is a low-ball, which may be offensive to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper may refuse simply on the grounds that he is offended, and will knowingly and purposely lose the sale.

Homo reciprocans

Homo reciprocans. Positive and negative reciprocity Reciprocal players are willing to reward behaviour that is just or fair, and to punish unjust or unfair behaviour. Empirical evidence suggests that positive and negative reciprocity are fundamentally different behavioral dispositions in the sense that the values for positive and negative reciprocity in individuals are only weakly correlated and that these values correlate differently with factors such as gender or age. A possible explanation is "that negative and positive reciprocity are different because they tap into different emotional responses".

Homo reciprocans

Homo reciprocans. Positive reciprocity correlates with height, with increasing age, with female gender, with higher income as well as higher number of hours of work, with a higher number of friends and with higher overall life satisfaction. Evidence indicates that "married individuals are more positively reciprocal, but are not different from the unmarried in terms of negative reciprocity". Among employees, negative reciprocity appear to be correlated with a higher number of sick days. Positive reciprocity correlates with low unemployment, and negative reciprocity strongly correlates with unemployment. High levels of positive reciprocity correlate with higher income, but no correlation appears to exist between negative reciprocity and income.

Homo reciprocans. Sex, Age, and Height A study conducted by Thomas Dohmen and his team of behavioral economists investigated the determinants of trust and reciprocity, in which their results indicated that women hold a higher propensity to trust and, thus reciprocate, than men.

Determining Propensity to Reciprocate of Homo Reciprocans Thomas Dohmen and his team of behavioral economists also found a positive correlation between both age and height and one’s trust, meaning that the taller a person is, the more willing they are to trust, and the same idea applies to age—the older one gets, the more trusting they are.

On the other hand, in regards to negative reciprocity, they found that extraversion and openness have little to no effect, but people who land on the higher end of the neuroticism spectrum tend to be more negatively reciprocal, while those who are more conscientious and agreeable tend to be less so.

Homo reciprocans. Culture Cultural psychologists Joan Miller and David Bersoff, in an experimental study in 1994, found that Americans receive greater utility in providing help under a reciprocity condition than without one; on the other hand, Indians displayed virtually no difference in utility with or without a prior reciprocal occasion.

Homo reciprocans. Determining Propensity to Reciprocate of Homo Reciprocans In a similar study conducted by Miller and seven other psychologists, they found that Indians base their reciprocal acts on communal norms while Americans’ are contingent on reciprocal exchanges. An example of such difference is that Indians act upon their peers’ requests for assistance repeatedly throughout their lifetimes, whereas Americans show reciprocal behaviors shortly, and only, after altruistic acts were performed towards them.

Homo reciprocans. Perceived Motives Yesim Orhun, a professor of marketing at the University of Michigan Ross School Business, emphasizes the significance of people’s perceived dispositions in reciprocal situations in her research on perceived motives and reciprocity. She asserts that generosity becomes polluted if the impression of an expected return of favor is given during an act of kindness. However, she also notes that perceived kindness is only a factor in positive reciprocity because the intentions of a person who commits harmful acts are apparent, but those of a person who performs beneficial acts are ambiguous, unsure of intentions behind.

The Rootkit Arsenal

The Rootkit Arsenal. Computing Reviews writes about this book "This book addresses a controversial and timely issue in the field of network security. Rootkits are notoriously used by the black hat hacking community. A rootkit allows an attacker to subvert a compromised system. This subversion can take place at the application level, as is the case for the early rootkits that replaced a set of common administrative tools, but can be more dangerous when it occurs at the kernel level. A rootkit hides the network traffic, processes, and files that an attacker decides to keep invisible to administrators and system management tools… If you work on defensive solutions—anti-virus and malware detection tools—or are interested in low-level system programming, you must read this book. In fact, for the intended audience, this is one of the best books of 2009."

Mission statement With the accelerated approach of the global climate-change point-of-no-return the need to address the pivotal role of renewable energy in the formation of coping strategies, rather than prevention, is more crucial than ever. Sustainability, green buildings, and the development of the large-scale renewable energy industry must be at the top of all development, economic, financial and political agendas. The time for action has arrived. Prevention and questioning how and why we face this great challenge is a luxury we can no longer indulge. We welcome the establishment of the long overdue International Renewable Energy Agency which we hope will work side-by-side with similar intergovernmental agencies striving for the adoption of renewable energies.

Shenandoah Downs

Shenandoah Downs. Shenandoah Downs was a five-furlong horse-racing track located just outside the eastern limits of Charles Town, West Virginia, United States, that operated from 1959 through 1975. When it opened it featured night racing, a novelty at the time, initially running harness races. After operations began, the owners asked the West Virginia Racing Commission to allow thoroughbred racing, competing with the day races at adjacent Charles Town Races. Following litigation, the request was granted and the track converted to nighttime flat racing. Nighttime racing followed at Charles Town in 1965 and the adjoining tracks were allotted roughly equal numbers of racing days. In 1972 Charles Town was purchased by the owners of Shenandoah Downs. In 1976 Shenandoah Downs was closed down. In 1978 after both tracks were sold to a new owner, Shenandoah Downs briefly reopened. The Shenandoah Downs track was operated as a training track afterwards, until the site was developed. The grandstand remained until 2006 when it was demolished.
