Yes yes … Ian is dr now;) Congratulations, Ian!!!
Short abstract of his thesis:
European countries compared to large European countries in the 1980s
and 1990s. Many explanations focus on the role of policies and
institutions, while others mention the influence of national culture
without investigating it fully. The thesis used a neo-Gramscian
framework, and data from 18 qualitative elite interviews, to make the
case for the role of national culture in the economy’s evolution.

Bus Inspection
This morning, on my way to LSE library (I usually take 171 bus from Peckham and go off in Aldwych) our bus was inspected - by the police. And my big black Targus backpack, which is full of books and a laptop, got a suspicious look. But then - seems like I didn’t look suspicious at all so the police officer didn’t shoot me;))
I know, bad joke, but I still can’t forget that innocent guy who got shot on Friday morning - on his way to fix the air conditioning somewhere.
I am really sorry for him and all his family.
Right … off to work I go!!

New Explosions in London
only minor explosions, three tube stations, one bus, one injured, read more one bbc news.
Hmmm, what is this? Two weeks after the bombing someone is trying to scare Londoners again? Oh well, now that I managed to get rid of the temperature, will I have to be worried about the bombs? I don’t think so. Let’s work on;))

In The Morning …
In the morning … in the morning when I wake up and I feel all right, in the morning when I step out on the morning light la la la …
I just woke up, which is waaay late for me, as I keep waking up at about 6 am in the summer time … not due to alarm clock but just because the morning light gets me:>. So yeh, I have just woken up and am already singing the ‘Morning’ song by Elvis Jackson to myself. I haven’t heard it for aggeeeeees, but it juts came to me ..
Lately (as about for the last three years) I haven’t been to any of their concert. Nor did Erik ops Slavc supplied me with their newest Summer Edition. Well, I guess it’s time I start buying their albums. But when Elvis Jackson was still a tiny little boy back then in 1999 and released the very first edition of Move Your Feet It’s One O’clock … Then I was their biggest fan, mostly due to the fact that Erik was one of us (Adela - Spela - Ivo - Mojca - Jasmina - Bojana - Erik - Marica - Maja - plus probably anyone else - 116/117 company) but also because I really really liked their music. Oh well, I still do;)).
Tomorrow I am meeting Adela, she had her birthday on April 1st and I still havent’ given her my birthday present. Spela had a birthday three days ago (June 9th) so how nice of me is giving both of them bday presents at the same time?? Not nice, I know. I often regret spending so little time with my friends lately - am so busy excuse does it! But I hope I’ll improve and show them am grateful they are still my friends even tho I harldy find time to come round.
Ok, time to start working. I have a web survey to prepare today, but first I need to complete the Thurston scale. I am in the last stage (thanks to Andraz, who was/is of great help) … selecting the statements for the survey.

She was at Kotler!
Yesterday, the semester has just finished at my uni. So no teaching for 4 months;) On the last day, I was in the classroom from 8 am till 6 pm. Students at Marketing Research course had their final projects presentation. Throughout the whole year, we were working at various projects with small groups of students. They had to find a real decision problem, then converted it to marketing problem, conducted some qualitative research, designed the questionnaire, gathered data, analyzed the data, and did the segmentation and positioning. At the beginning of the summer semester, students started to work at the same project at Advertising course in order to prepare an appropriate communication strategy and creative solution (based on research findings) to solve the problem.
So this year we had some 22 projects, some were really good ones. Usually students invite their clients (companies for which they did the projects) to the final presentation. So yesterday, at one of the presentations, a woman appeared … in a very arrogant manner … which was noticed already by the way she presented herself. It was something like: Hello, I am Miss this and this, I helped these students with their project (mind this !!) and I am just coming form Philip Kotler’s lecture (he is in Slovenia atm). Hmmmmm, so what! Then, she listened to the presentation, did a bit of head nodding and in the end she approached the three of us (who works with students at both courses) and enlightened us, that what we were doing was wrong, that we didn’t teach our students the right stuff, that we all lived in a mistake;) and that she was just coming from Kolter and she could tell that there were 4Pis missing in our students projects. Oh. My. Did she eat all the wisdom of the world at one single Phillip Kolter’s lecture?
Well, we tried to explain that our students had another course, called Marketing Management and also The Basics of Marketing for getting familiar with Philip Kotler and that it was not exactly Marketing research and Advertising course’s cup of tea. She had no mercy for us. We DID a lousy job. She told it loud and proud!
Even tho the majority of our projects will be subjected to realisation. Oh well!
So, now… we already made a joke out of it and I encourage you to use it. If someone appears to be really arrogant and smartest of them all, just say: Oh, I was at Kotler (We do respect Kotler himself, so please do not understand this as an insult to Kotler).
But how can someone appear and give such strong and absolute judgement: You did a lousy job. So absolute! So definite! We are not perfect, sure as hell … but so damn wrong? Maybe we should invite that lady and give her a full professorship without PhD. Cos … our two professors are not good enough, apparently. After all … she was at Kotler;)

Huh!
Again, I found an interesting test on Too many topics, too little time.
I was scored as Postmodernist.
Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

After a Looooooong Time ….
… I went on my morning run again. After three whole months! I feel great, at my biggest surprise am still in a quite good condition. I felt no pain, which means my recovery from the surgery was perfect;)) Yoohoooo! Can’t wait I’ll go running again tomorrow (Gregor suggested that I should go again in one hours time if I am so enthusiastic about it).
