N.Y.U. Crisis in Abu Dhabi Stretches to Wall Street. Rui Vieira/Associated PressThe N.Y.U. trustee Khaldoon Al Mubarak's firm helped build the Abu Dhabi campus.
Martin Lipton, the superlawyer, has advised hundreds of boards of directors in the midst of crises. Now, however, Mr. Lipton is grappling with a board governance crisis of his own. As chairman of New York University's board of trustees, Mr. Lipton has been dealing with revelations that the university's much-heralded new campus in Abu Dhabi might have been the product, in part, of rights abuses of foreign laborers. Those conditions were detailed in an article in The New York Times last week that described workers being arrested, beaten and deported for going on strike; being charged a year's wages to get their jobs; and being denied access to their travel documents.
Hours after the article was published, Mr. Mr. Yet Mr. Mr. It was Mr. Some faculty members were rankled by Mr. Building a campus in Abu Dhabi was considered a high-risk exercise from the start. A spokesman for Mr. Dangerous Liaisons. For many people around the world the Arab Spring was a cause for great hope, as thousands of Arabs banded together to overthrow their corrupt and repressive governments.
For the London School of Economics (LSE), however, it triggered a revelation that embroiled the institution in one of the biggest university scandals in history. On the 3rd of March 2011, Sir Howard Davies, the Director of LSE and the institution's highest official, resigned in disgrace amidst a media firestorm. The firestorm was sparked when the British press found extensive links between LSE and the Gaddafi family, links forged under the oversight of Davies through Saif Gaddafi – Colonel Gaddafi's son, who had been a PhD student at LSE.[1] The PR fallout for LSE was immense, with LSE unsuccessfully striving to downplay its cozy relationship with the brutal regime.
But perhaps the most telling response was the indignant sense of betrayal articulated by Saif Gaddafi. The Libyan School of Economics A Free Lunch. Dangerous Liaisons. Webarchive: Dangerous Liaisons.

In Singapore, recently opened a plant with the capacity to produce the underlying ingredient for 18 billion cans of soda a year.
In Cork, Ireland, PepsiCo has located its "worldwide concentrate headquarters," which until 2007 had been in New York. More than half of all PepsiCo soda sold around the world starts, as concentrate, in Ireland. What Ireland and Singapore share is a low corporate tax rate. And because soda is such a simple product, with so much of its financial value stemming from the concentrate, Coke and Pepsi can reduce their overall tax rates by manufacturing it in low-tax countries. Partly as a result, the industry paid a combined corporate income tax rate — spanning federal, state, local and foreign taxes — of only 19.2 percent over the past six years, according to an analysis for The New York Times by the financial research group S&P Capital IQ. Singapore. Singapore ( i/ˈsɪŋəpɔr/ or /ˈsɪŋɡəpɔr/), officially the Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign city-state and island country in Southeast Asia.
It lies off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula and is 137 kilometres (85 mi) north of the equator. The country's territory consists of the lozenge-shaped main island, commonly referred to as Singapore Island in English and Pulau Ujong in Malay, and more than 60 significantly smaller islets.[8] Singapore is separated from Peninsular Malaysia by the Straits of Johor to the north, and from Indonesia's Riau Islands by the Singapore Strait to the south. The country is highly urbanised, and little of the original vegetation remains. The country's territory has consistently expanded through land reclamation. VPRO tegenlicht: Onze man in Singapore.

Albert Winsemius, a leading Dutch economist, was once called the 'founding father' of Singapore by Kees Tamboer in the leading Dutch newspaper 'Het Parool' (Tamboer). I personally feel this may be a bit of an overstatement considering Lee Kuan Yew's essential role in the development of Singapore throughout the second half of the 20th century, but it is indeed correct that Dr. Albert Winsemius played a major role in at least the economic development of Singapore. I have researched Dr. Winsemius thoroughly in my Internal Assessment for the IB History course, but below you will find a more comprehensible, structured piece of research assessing the significance of Dr.

Is a comprehensive research university located in Singapore, being the flagship tertiary institution of the country which has a global approach to education and research. Founded in 1905, it is the oldest higher learning institute in Singapore, as well as the largest university in the country in terms of student enrolment and curriculum offered. The university's main campus is located in southwest Singapore at Kent Ridge, with an area of approximately 1.5 km2 (0.58 sq mi). The Bukit Timah campus houses the Faculty of Law, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and research institutes, while the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore is located at the Outram campus. Yale-NUS College. Trading Academic Freedom for Foreign Markets. By Marjorie Heins, founder, Free Expression Policy Project The current controversy over Yale University's planned campus in Singapore is, at bottom, an argument over how much compromise on free speech is justified in exchange for the presumed benefits of locating branches of U.S. universities within authoritarian regimes.
Although the champions of global ventures like Yale's often claim that academic freedom will be available at the foreign outposts, the fact is that such freedom, at best, will be limited to the classroom and will bear no resemblance to what we have come to expect on U.S. campuses. In an April 2012 resolution, the Yale faculty expressed concern over the Singapore venture and urged administrators "to respect, protect and further principles of nondiscrimination for all, including sexual minorities and migrant workers" and "to uphold civil liberty and political freedom on campus and in the broader society." Some of the turmoil at Yale has to do with governance. YaledailyNews: Unease grows over freedoms at Yale-NUS. Concerns over political freedoms at Yale-NUS College resurfaced this week after a Monday article in the Wall Street Journal quoted Pericles Lewis, the college's president, as saying political parties and political protests will not be allowed on campus.
Lewis claims the article incorrectly paraphrased him on the latter statement. In an interview with the News Wednesday, he said students at Yale-NUS will be guaranteed "all forms of political expression consistent with Singaporean law" and that he does not expect any restrictions on freedom of expression to be "terribly constraining." But when pressed on how Yale-NUS would handle political expression that goes beyond what is permitted by Singaporean law, Lewis and University President Richard Levin were unwilling or unable to give clear answers. "I'd rather just have no comment on these things," he said. Under Singaporean law, protests are only allowed in the Speakers' Corner at Hong Lim Park. YaledailyNews: Yale-NUS students deserve free speech.
Just over a year before Yale-NUS opens its doors, top University officials remain unable to explain what constraints on political expression its students will face. The Wall Street Journal reported on July 16 that, according to Yale-NUS President Pericles Lewis, students at the new school will not be allowed to form political parties or stage political protests on campus. Lewis disputes the paraphrase in the Journal, and he and Yale University President Richard Levin criticized recent press accounts for misrepresenting the new college's policies on political expression in a statement last week.
But neither president has offered a clear explanation of the new college's policies, making it disappointingly clear that freedom is an afterthought to Yale's venture into Singapore. YaledailyNews: Miller: Yale's principles for sale in Singapore. Last Thursday brought news of the final agreement between Yale and the National University of Singapore to open a joint campus. Coverage of this story in the News and the superb editorials of February 11 and April 1 have focused mainly on issues of academic freedom and political repression. I want to raise another question that has been largely overlooked: the position of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender faculty and students in relation to this new institution, Yale-NUS.
Many years ago, Yale added sexual orientation to the list of protections covered by its non-discrimination policy. In their announcement on Thursday, President Levin and Provost Salovey stated that "our agreement with NUS … affirms consistency with Yale's policy on non-discrimination." This is impossible. Yale values to be tested in Singapore. Two staff reporters for the News, Ava Kofman and Tapley Stephenson, traveled to Singapore over spring break, interviewing more than 80 sources on the founding of Yale-NUS College — how Singaporeans view the project, how the liberal arts function in Singapore and how the country's values differ from those on Yale's campus. This is the final part of the three-part series. (Read part 1 and part 2.) SINGAPORE — On the edge of a small park in Singapore's financial district lies the "Speakers' Corner," a grassy field the size of a residential college courtyard that serves as the only place in the country where public demonstrations are allowed.
Elsewhere on the island, the Singaporean government more strictly curtails activism and freedom of expression, but Yale administrators say Yale-NUS College will create a new space for political discourse in the nation. Yale-Singapore Venture to Forbid Political Protest.

In "Quarrels With Providence," his magisterial and, to my mind, unforgettable essay of 2001 about his alma mater's past glories and contemporary travails, Lewis Lapham noted a bit impishly that "Institutions as venerable as Yale ordinarily arrange [their announcements] with considerable care, the press releases staged in a sequence indicative of sound judgment, good feeling, and the dawn of a bright new day.

so… here's my big scary thing. i've been working on it since early december. i came really close to scrapping the whole thing a million times, but here i am. broadcasting my existential crisis to the world. help me make art.
hello 2016.
holiday shopping…
hey y'all – so i don't really have enough stuff together to do a sale at my house as i would have hoped this holiday season (unless i get crazy productive in the next few weeks), but i do have a few things up on my etsy shop and some teespring designs up right now. here are those links:
i'm working on a few different canvases right now and some furniture and signs but not sure how much i will get done, so stay tuned!
LAST run of the fucking woods shirts! really!
ok, so i really thought i was done with these, since the 40th was the final festival and this shirt seems to not really have much relevance outside of festival… i though to myself, who would want these after fest? so i didn't print up a bunch to take to fest to sell cuz i thought, a) so many women had ordered them that the market was saturated, and, b) i didn't want to end up with extra cuz i'd never be able to sell them and it would be a loss. so i did a big print run in the spring and kept selling off the extras til right before fest. i had FOUR left that i took with me to fest and they sold to the workers at the craft sale in like 3 minutes!
yes, i should have printed more. clearly.
and last wednesday, when i emerged from the woods and my cell phone finally downloaded all my emails from the past 3 weeks, i had 5 requests already for shirts. plus 3 workers who begged me on my drive out the gate to reprint them after i got home. so i knew i needed to do one last run.
so here we go. this is what i posted this morning on facebook on various michfest pages. i already have 15 shirt orders! i love you crazy womyn!! your thirst for humorous unofficial fest memorabilia is unending!
"hey y'all, i know lots of womyn who did fundraising shirts or other items are doing post-fest runs and folks are probably short on money coming off of fest… so i'm gonna do pre-orders and leave it open for a couple of weeks. also to just give myself time to get back into life and find the time to print.
but if you want one of the LAST run of WE'RE IN THE FUCKING WOODS tanks, i'm taking pre-orders via paypal – firstname.lastname@example.com. $15 for the shirt plus $6 for priority shipping = $21. (i use priority cuz it saves me having to pay for packaging supplies.) or if you need me to invoice you, fb message me or email me at the above address. (don't just respond here cuz i'm trying not to be on facebook as much and i might miss it.) PLEASE INDICATE WHAT SIZE(S) YOU NEED.
alternately, if you would rather use your debit card via squarecash, it's: https://cash.me/$mags. but please send me a message with your address and size.
(i will run the teespring campaign that offers shirts other than ribbed tanks after i do the handprinted run. too hard to keep track of multiple things at once.)
honestly, the screen for this shirt is deteriorating and i've been fixing/patching it up but it's really just about beyond repair and i'm not gonna make a new one, so this really is the last printing with it. i didn't think anyone would want the shirt after festival but i've gotten so many requests – i am humbled and so very grateful.
thank you all SO much for all your love and support with this and all my creations over the years. it has truly been my honor to celebrate our culture with you via my work. xoxo"
no more fucking woods shirts!
ok y'all, as you may notice, i have deleted the previous post with all the ordering information about the "we're in the fucking woods" shirts because i am no longer taking orders. i have printed all the shirts i have and all but a few are spoken for. i will post again when it is all sorted out with what is left but there's not many. if you send me an order now i will just be returning it as i don't have time or energy to keep printing these things throughout the summer.
however, i will be posting a teespring campaign in just a few days so you can order that way. they will look mostly the same, though i wasn't able to exactly match the font and i think the design will print a little larger on the shirts. but you'll have many more shirt styles to choose from. so hang tight.
and thank you to everyone who put in an order. i'm headed to the post office right now with 25+ packages to get shipped out to all of you who pre-ordered. you should get them by the end of the week.
see you in the (beautiful) fucking woods!
last night a brass band saved my life… again.
it's back! just in time for jazz fest! i've set the campaign to only run 5 days so that it ends and the shirts are produced and shipped to get here in the next few weeks. so order up now! several styles and colors – and the hanes tagless shirts go up to size 5xl!

Celebrity Photos From Chiller Theatre!
Me and the always fierce Pam Grier. She lit up the place like a Roman candle.
Today's column is all about my interactions with various Oscar winners, ex-child-stars, sitcom survivors, and other culty icons at the Chiller Theatre autography show in New Jersey the other night.
Well, here's a gorgeous bunch of Angelo Pitillo-photographed shots of the amazing luminaries we got to carry on with.
But first, a random anecdote:
I heard Oscar nominee Bruce Dern (Coming Home) tell a fan there that on the first day's shooting of Family Plot, Alfred Hitchcock got out of his chair, but he was so fat the chair stuck to his ass. Once he became disentangled, the genius director (complete with pacemaker) went up to each person on the set and thanked them by name!

"No other director's ever done that," said Dern, misty-eyed.
Showbiz, for all it's darkness, can also be extraordinarily lovely, right?
So are these photos. Enjoy!

With minicamp wrapped up, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a clear path to training camp in July. The players now have six weeks to get ready to fight for their spots on the depth chart.
While many positions are essentially settled, there are still starting spots to be determined as well as the depth at cornerback, guard and running back.
The Bucs need players who will fit head coach Lovie Smith's vision for the team. Namely he needs Tampa 2 prototypes in the secondary, as well as athletic offensive linemen and weapons in the pass game for offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford's scheme.
The players most likely to make noise on the depth chart are those who were drafted or signed by Smith's administration or experienced players who were on the cusp of breaking through last year.
Here are five Buccaneers players who are primed to climb the depth chart in 2014.

Like any good and caring mom, Joan Rivers is fiercely protective. So, when the seasoned comedian took her first look at the startlingly candid documentary that bears her name - Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, just opened at the Ritz Five - her concerns weren't so much about how she comes off, but about how her daughter, Melissa, is captured on film.
And she said as much to the codirector, Ricki Stern.
"I told her that I thought that the first time you saw Melissa, she was saying something negative, and then the second time she's saying something positive," recalls Rivers. "So I asked her to switch that around, which she did. Because I just think that was silly."

When trips to the farmer's market are inconvenient, people start considering produce subscriptions. When bags of vegetables sit in the fridge uneaten or when time is tight, it's time to consider Salad Envy.
Salad Envy was born out of a desire to make it easier for people to eat better. Nutritionist Deanna Moncrief combined her background in corporate wellness, healthcare, and her interest in tech to design a company where customers could conveniently order healthy food online, benefitting not only themselves but their employers as well.
Many working adults spend most of their waking hours away from a kitchen and are not able to prep vegetables. For those who bring meals to work from home, preparing delicious salads can get monotonous. What's more, to get the recommended 9 to 11 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, it's imperative to start at lunchtime.
Salad Envy makes it easy to eat healthy, delicious, locally-grown produce one, two, or three days per week. And here's the best part: delivery is free.
Deanna Moncrief has been a nutritionist since earning a Master of Science degree in Nutrition and Clinical Dietetics from the Chicago Medical School in 1999. In 2005 she passed the rigorous Certified Nutrition Specialist exam, earning her CNS designation.
Deanna helped double wellness program participation at the Queen's Medical Center as its Wellness Program Coordinator, and founded Benchmark Wellness, a corporate wellness consultancy that helps employers control costs by designing effective programs to improve employee health.
In 2015, Deanna and her crew recognized the need for healthy food for seniors at home. Often, seniors have medical conditions requiring dietary modifications that can be daunting for family members or in-home caregivers to figure out. Salad Envy's sister company, The Happy Bento, was started to address these needs in addition to the basic nutrition needs of older adults.

Nintendo Announces Worldwide Mario Kart Tournaments
Now you can get your butt kicked from all over the world.
Nintendo's attempts to move into the online space haven't exactly been large or confident, but the company continues to press into the strange and frightening world of the internet at a fast (if somewhat dizzied) pace. Mario Kart Wii, fortunately, has avoided many of the online hangups found in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Today Nintendo introduced yet another new online feature for their premiere kart racing title: worldwide tournaments.
So will this be a massive bracketed affair with dark horse seeds as the competitors whittle down to two ultimate Karting champions? Well, not really. The worldwide tournament feature is competitive, but not in a direct player versus player setup. Every few weeks, a new challenge is planned for the Mario Kart Channel. Examples of a tournament challenge are completing a course in a record time or collecting coins on a certain course using a particular control setup. Essentially, Nintendo sets the ground rules, and you try to hit the lowest time or highest score in the leaderboard standings.
The first tourney is already up, inviting racers to achieve the fastest time on the Mario Circuit. Players are allowed to try their luck as often as they'd like, surely leading to loss of sleep from those who take competition a bit too seriously. The best time will be put in the worldwide rankings so you can see how you stack up to the other players. No word on prizes or incentives for winning the tournaments, but aren't bragging rights enough?

It will not let me in a Tourney. When I go to the Tournament tab it just tells me that they are for a limited time and to check back for tournaments. This was the morning of the 3rd.
To all of you dissing MKPosted: May 02, 2008 12:00AM PST by Epic Greenman
Why? There's always a bit of luck needed for everything. Where you spawn in Halo could mean the game for you. Plus, you can turn the items off. Everything that can be competed with takes a little luck.
For the dude belowPosted: May 02, 2008 12:00AM PST by maraxusofk
There are already lots of super smash tourneys. the only thing is there are no items and no random changing stages to keep it pure fighting based.

Hard Knocks: Week 5
In the final analysis, no, actually, it wasn't that great. Interesting, but not great.
HBO's Hard Knocks is over. Which means the season is beginning.
After a five-week series that showed that – surprise! – two of the Cowboys' leaders are Terrell Owens and Tank Johnson, we no longer have to be tricked into caring about Keon Lattimore or Todd Lowber. The show that commenced with T.O. running on the beach and, honestly, never found enough intriguing story lines, last night climaxed with him saying "People, getcha popcorn ready."
The five best moments from last night's Hard Knocks: Week 5. Or did I miss something?
5. After an inconsistent-yet-entertaining training camp in which he, at times, defiantly battled tight ends coach John Garrett, second-round draft choice Martellus Bennett finally got the official seal of approval. Asked by owner Jerry Jones if Bennett could be trusted in Sunday's opener against the Cleveland Browns, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett answered, "Absolutely."

4. As he did in an earlier episode, DeMarcus Ware won me over while playing with and singing to his adopted daughter, Marley. Nothing like a little "Knees, Shoulders, Toes" to get you amped for football season.
3. Owens, who lives in the same Dallas condo tower as his piano-playing neighbor Marion Barber -- ring a bell? -- has four clocks, one for his hometown (Alexander City, Ala.) and three for his NFL teams (San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas). Interestingly, he also has a sign at his front door that reads "Please remove your shoes. Yes, that includes YOU. Help yourself to some socks." T.O.'s place either doubles as a Japanese restaurant or he's one of the world's neatest freaks. Either way, bizarre.
2. Yes the cameras were rolling when Pacman Jones – all decked out in Ed Hardy gear and walking through a parking lot full of Dallas police cars – got the official word of his reinstatement. But I was more enlightened by his fishing excursion with mentor Deion Sanders, and his locker-room exchange with Tank Johnson. The latter went something like this:
Pacman: Get that shit out your mouth.
Tank: I'm sorry, Pacman Jones was talking. (Hits Pacman in leg.) What'd you say? Leave my interview alone.
Pacman: Man, you hit my God damn leg that hard again and I'm gonna smack that dip out your mouth.
Tank burst out in laughter, but I got the feeling Pacman was only half-kidding.
1. "This season thirty one teams have dreams about the Super Bowl. But the Dallas Cowboys expect it." Corny, sure. But when narrator Liev Schreiber says it, you kinda get all goose-bumpy. -- Richie Whitt

Ebola moving faster than control efforts
CONAKRY, Guinea -- An Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 700 people in West Africa is moving faster than efforts to control the disease, the head of the World Health Organization warned as presidents from the affected countries met Friday in Guinea's capital.
Dr. Margaret Chan, the WHO's director-general, said the meeting in Conakry "must be a turning point" in the battle against Ebola, which is now sickening people in three African capitals for the first time in history.
"If the situation continues to deteriorate, the consequences can be catastrophic in terms of lost lives but also severe socio-economic disruption and a high risk of spread to other countries," she said, as the WHO formally launched a $100 million response plan that includes deploying hundreds more health-care workers.
Doctors Without Borders said the WHO pledge "needs to translate to immediate and effective action." The group has deployed about 550 health workers but said it did not have the resources to expand further. The group said its teams are overwhelmed with new Ebola patients in Sierra Leone and called the situation in Liberia "dire."
"Over the last weeks, there has been a significant surge in the epidemic -- the number of cases has increased dramatically in Sierra Leone and Liberia, and the disease has spread to many more villages and towns," the group said in a statement. "After a lull in new cases in Guinea, there has been a resurgence in infections and deaths in the past week."
At least 729 people have died since cases first emerged in March: 339 in Guinea, 233 in Sierra Leone, 156 in Liberia and one in Nigeria.
Two American health workers in Liberia have been infected, and an American man of Liberian descent died in Nigeria from the disease, health officials said.
Plans were underway to bring the two American aid workers -- Nancy Writebol and Dr. Kent Brantly -- back to the U.S. A small private jet based in Atlanta has been dispatched to Liberia. Officials said the jet was outfitted with a special, portable tent designed for transporting patients with highly infectious diseases.
While health officials say the virus is transmitted only through direct contact with bodily fluids, many sick patients have refused to go to isolation centers and have infected family members and other caregivers.
Chan emphasized Friday that the general public "is not at high risk of infection," but also said the Ebola virus should not be allowed to circulate widely.

Hong Kong - Prize money for the prestigious Hong Kong Open has been cut $750 000 to $2 million, organisers said on Thursday, blaming the state of the world economy.
It comes despite the tournament, one of the biggest in Asia, retaining sponsor UBS, the Swiss bank. This year's Hong Kong Open is November 15-18.
"It's one of these things that have happened because of the downturn of the world economy," Hong Kong Golf Association Chief Executive Iain Valentine told AFP, saying he did not expect it to affect the quality of the field.
Valentine said he was hopeful that stars such as Rory McIlroy, the world number one, will return to defend his title. The tournament is co-sanctioned by the European and Asian Tours.
"The Hong Kong Open has a very unique place in the European Tour schedule of events and people like to play Hong Kong because of the golf course and because of Hong Kong in general, they just like coming here."
The 23-year-old Northern Irishman, winner of the 2011 US Open and this year's PGA Championship, is believed to attract large appearance fees.
Organisers are reportedly seeking HK$16 million ($2.06 million) from a Hong Kong government fund to assist the showpiece event, double what it received last year.

Unreported productivity gains resulting in less job creation 0 comments
Pollsters, as with economists, often get the stats right based on the numbers they use. The danger, of course, is in using the wrong numbers. The classic pollster case was by Gallup in 1936 when they predicted Alf Landon would trounce FDR. They had the stats right, just the numbers were wrong because they polled by phone. Many fewer Democrats had phones then Republicans. When you backed that bias out, as was done after the fact, the numbers showed FDR would win as he did.
Economists have worked to do a very good job on jobless numbers. Politics required them to exclude the discouraged group to make things look better-not their fault. There is an elephant in the living room though: unreported productivity largely because it is hard to account for.
Economists have worked to "include" improvements to adjust for inflation rises (an AC is an improvement so the car didn't just cost "more" -- you got more), but the subtle ones for business are harder to figure out.
For example, EZ pass toll taking saves government 28% on costs; iPhones are substitutes for watches, alarm clocks, and physical calendars, among other things. eBooks let you read a book for 20% of the cost of most hardcovers. You wait in line for a shorter period because of faster credit card transactions than cash, as McDonalds has seen.
Now on the other side of this: the employee side. EZ Pass states need fewer employees, managers, and need to pick up fewer quarters (ever tried to lift a bag of quarters?), and a lot less labor is required. Buy online and less is involved; if you are Amazon, and have the goods shipped from the supplier's warehouse, no labor is involved. Call centers are better, more effective, and have less labor with email and website support not involving humans.
Then we have the longer life of cars, PCs, printers, and a host of other products--all leading to less labor required, especially managers and offices.
And the trend is accelerating as progressive companies are abandoning legacy paperwork (best example is the PO; if a company issues one, they don't need an invoice, unless they want their employees playing the matching game; when the goods are picked up, and received remotely, that payment can be generated to the supplier without another piece of paper; when freight is to be picked up, they have the suppliers email them--when, where--with the preset payment terms, how many pallets--the POs already describe everything else).
What happens here? The progressive retailer has the goods picked up, received by the trucker, with no need for "receiving" at the warehouses--just delivery.
PDFs replace Fedex or mail; on many occasions physical trips. 1099 stay at home work is far easier with Internet communication back and forth, eliminating the need for offices, managers, and related staff.
Expect more of this as top managers wise up.
The biggest risk is in emerging companies where most job growth comes: they will hire more people, but not proportionally what they did in the past because they will have learned how to reduce legacy expense.
What is an investor to do? Listen for the signs of paperwork simplicity; the two best in my experience are Dollar Tree and TJ Maxx; DLTR reportedly cut their accounting staff by over 65% by doing this, avoided having to move to larger facilities and more. Look for new companies that focus on avoiding the legacy investments in offices, non-tech administration so they can focus on their core activities--making and selling something, whether it be services or products.

I want to thank anyone testing this in demo mode.
First, I suggest that you get a demo account from vtsystems.com and download VT Trader platform here:
Why VT Trader
It will notify us whenever moving averages cross using an arrow and audible alert. You do not have to watch these lines too much.
Prepare your VT Trader
Let us prepare your VT Trader first.
1. Close all windows, just leave the main panel on left which contains currencies.
2. On left panel, click "Charts" > then select pair "EURUSD" or "GBPUSD" > then select timeframe "15M" > then select "Heikin Ashi" for pattern/candles. a new chart should be now opened. Right click on main chart and select "Chart Properties" > Rules > Grid (Uncheck visible).
3. We will add an automatic trading signal generator. Right click on main chart, select "Add Trading System", then select "VT-Moving Average Cross System". Modify default values with:
4. Right click on main chart, select "Add Indicator". from the list
select "Parabolic SAR" and in the color/style panel make it more solid by increasing width of points. (To see them easier on chart)
5. Right click on main chart, select "Add Indicator". from the list select "Direction Movement Index" and insert it (default 14) Click ok. You should see something like in my attached picture. Arrows generated on cross with sound. Done!
Now we added a signal generator for 5 Weighted and 10 Simple cross, moreover we added the Direction Movement Index (ADX) below the system into chart.
The Method
We will use two moving averages cross to identify a trend. In our method we will use the crossover of 5 Weighted (WMA) and 10 Simple (SMA) moving averages. Objective of these is to catch a trend or trend change.
We will use SAR for our entries and exits. We will use SAR to catch early change in trend and place our stop to exit the market, we can also use it to re-enter if it was a brief exit from main trend. Also for confirmation of trend with Moving Averages Cross.
We will use the DI+ and DI- to identify a trend and confirm it.
4. Timeframe and Currency
EURUSD and GBPUSD should be suitable for testing. Timeframe is 15Minute.
A buy signal is generated from 5 WMA and 10 SMA (5 WMA crosses 10 SMA to the upside)
SAR below candles
ADX DI+ positive > (greater than) DI- negative (BLUE above RED)
A sell signal is generated from 5 WMA and 10 SMA (5 WMA crosses 10 SMA to the downside)
SAR above candles
ADX DI- negative > (greater than) DI+ positive (RED above BLUE)
Exits and Stop
A conflicting Parabolic SAR signal in opposite direction is major signal of pause or reverse in trend (EXIT). Re enter if SAR signalled again in the older direction of the trend after minor pause. Profit and Stop are discretion for you.
Secondary reversal signal, a conflicting signal from Moving Averages, or a change in Direction Movement Index trend (DI+ and DI- crossing in opposite direction)
Good luck!
Remember to check picture (VT)

Moodiness or feelings of discomfort could make you want to retreat from the world today. You could also experience conflicts with others or feel like you have multiple obstacles standing in your way. Instead of allowing these feelings to hold you back, think about how to overcome them. Try to spend time building up your confidence and affirming your own strengths, since this can minimize feelings of powerlessness. Another helpful technique is to adopt the mind-set that what you want to manifest is inevitable. If you need to feel more confident and purposeful today, act as if you already do and that is exactly what will happen. You can overcome anything with confidence and purpose.
When we choose to face challenges with focus and determination, we build confidence and learn how to be proactive in the face of adversity. Many of us tend to shy away from challenges because we feel unsure of our own ability to overcome them. If we can understand that most of our limitations exist in our minds, we can choose to believe that we have what it takes to overcome them. With each obstacle that we overcome, our confidence and courage grows. The next challenges that come along then become less daunting. Eventually, we realize that we are no longer intimidated by challenges because we have developed a strong inner core that refuses to be held back by fear. By tapping into your inner strength and empowering yourself with an attitude of conscious determination today, you can overcome challenges with confidence.

- Rate the Skill, Paralogue 5: Veteran and Ignis
Smash Master 3 years ago#21
As for Ingis, that should be S. High proc rate + good effect (seriously, half of unused attack stat isn't anything to scoff at...). It needs to go up.
This is a sig, woo.
AmicusNintendi 3 years ago#22
A for Veteran and S for Ignis.
Veteran helps immensely when reclassing an insane amount of times to get the ultimate skillset for Avatar, Morgan, Avatar!Anybody, and all the SpotPass/DLC characters. The minimum amount of XP gained for defeating an enemy seems to be eight. That's only eight XP per Bonus Skirmish. Veteran boosts that to 120 XP per Bonus Skirmish, which guarantees one level up per team summoned. It is, however, so outclassed by Paragon, that even A becomes too high a rank. This would be true... if you didn't have to pay for Paragon. Final Vote: A
Class matters not when it comes to Ignis. Looking at the Maximum Stats Chart (for classes, not characters), after applying half of each class's recessive attack stat to its dominant attack stat, the boosted dominant attack stat of stat-capped classes ranges from 55 (Tricksters, Falcon Knights) to 65 (Generals, Berserkers). Even Great Knights, with a piddly 20 cap in Mag, end up with 58 Str after Ignis. (Limit Breaker, other stat boosts, individual character stat modifiers, and Unpromoted/Special classes were not taken into account for any of this data.) This leads to the clear conclusion that Ignis does not require both high Str and high Mag to work wonders. All this plus a good activation rate (what is proc short for?) and the fact that any SpotPass/DLC unit has access to it (unlike the Lord/Great Lord Skills), equals an S.
On a side note, ChromxAvatar gives you two kids with access to both Rightful King and Ignis. Any other pairing and only certain Einherjar can have both skills.
Wanna counter my data with your own? Go right on ahead. I'm no expert after all. I could be horribly mistaken.
Wanna point out the flaws of ChromxAvatar? Start another thread.
My username is in Latin.
You know what? I'm lowering my Veteran score to B.
Veteran is only good for earlygame if considering other skills, but that's exactly when Frederick is expected to carry you completely. If you're grinding with DLC, then Paragon is better in every way, shape, and form (though they stack). By the time you're realistically getting low enough exp for it to matter from EXPonential growth (i.e. two class changes), you should be able to get paragon, or close to it. If you're not grinding, I'll admit it's pretty amazing, but it wouldn't get higher than an A IMO, because you need at least four decent units come endgame (to actually attack the boss with less is... close to impossible), but if you limit yourself to only a few units (i.e. Chrom, MU, and two other characters of your choice- probably Cordelia/Severa), you should easily get to capped important stats and Galeforce on those who matter, along with ending in the correct class, regardless of Veteran. But because DLC is so prevalent, I'm going with the B.
Ignis is extremely overrated. Vengeance is generally better, because of the 2x proc rate (i.e. 100% reliability), even over the halving of lost hp. Consider 23-30 health lost- then the expected damage output is the same as Ignis, but 100% of the time (rather than 50% of the time getting double the damage), which means you never have unlucky streaks. 23 damage is barely one hit from the endgame enemies (and if you're being hit for less, then Ignis is just overkill anyway). I'm giving Ignis a B, though it's definitely a tier below Vengeance IMO.
RedMageKirby 3 years ago#24
Veteran is still S. Paragon being released doesn't change anything about it. It wasn't S because it made grinding easier, it allows you to have a powerful unit earlygame who snowballs ridiculously well. By the time you can get Paragon, your Avatar will be strong enough that they won't need it.
Ignis gets an A from me. It probably deserves an S, honestly, but I'm sticking with A. Skill% damage upping is really nice.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ ||||||||||||||||||||||||| ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
B for Veteran
A for Ignis
I have replayed lunatic+ 4 separate times without ever relying on mu's veteran skill. It's so overrated.
MH will have to wait and why do most GameFAQ'ers in the 3DS board have sex with their 3DS?
IceDissolver 3 years ago#26
Veteran: S
Ignis: A
The existence of Paragon does not make Veteran any less useful. In fact, the two skills stack, so you can level even faster by tripling your leveling speed. And Ignis is a reliable source of high added damage.
Anyone who does not give Veteran S has not abused Veteran and realized how game-breaking it is.
This sentence is as meaningless as you.
Veteran: S
Ignis: S
Pitbuller_26 3 years ago#29
Veteran: S
Practically gives the Avatar a level lead and is available right when you start the game? How is this not unanimously an S rank skill?
Ignis: A
Chances are that the units who use this skill will have at least a decent magic stat meaning its effect isn't wasted.

Double A.

The Federal Government says proposed changes to the Environment Protection and Bio Conservation Act would not compromise environmental outcomes in Australia.

Nikon 1 J4 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Your Comments
8 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
"Unless you really need the V3's mechanical shutter, tilting screen, more refined user interface or accessory port for the optional EVF, there's little reason not to choose the J4 instead."
How about the shockingly bad control interface, Lack of PSAM or direct ISO!
OMG image quality is just horrible o_O
In the 4th generation I thought that they can fix iq… there is IMO no need for such camera! If you want 1" sensor - buy a RX100…
In your opinion, should I get this camera to review? I've been waiting for it to come out, and it's currently on sale; I run a tech website and I thought it would be a cool item to review.
I just released Part 1 of an unbiased, in-depth iOS 8 review. Please check out my site and consider following!
"Handz-on discussion on electronics and more"
I tested the camera for some days and gave it back. While the IQ isn´t that bad it still sucks that it don´t has PASM on the dial, but only hidden in the clunky menu. The PD-Zoom feels strange - not really precise. I´d rather had a new version of the old 10-30mm with manual zoom.
Touchscreen doesn´t make much sense.
Overall a not very pleasing shooting experience. This camera is now in the same price range as the Sony RX100(first one), even a bit cheaper, but the Sony is still a better pick. Faster lens with about the same range, way better usability.
A camera is a tool. A photographer can create art with any camera. In my experience this camera is capable if great results. It's faster (phase detection focusing vs contrast detection) and offers many more photo opportunities than the Sony RX100 series because it's a compact system camera. You won't get close with the Sony because it's got a fixed lens. Since I use Android devices I find the interface easy to use. The touch screen is very responsive and easy to adjust the aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc right from the function screen. No need for extra controls on the dial. This is a great camera to grab instant shots when you don't have time to make adjustments. The automatic setting works wonderfully and can even shoot 20 frames per second with full auto focus. I recommend that you buy the 30-110 lens in addition to the 10-30 lens to give you greater creative control. The power zoom works very well. Lots of pro photographers grab this camera as their go everywhere device when a DSLR is too much. Candid shots are easy with the silent photography mode. The images I've created with the J4 have been stellar. You should read the (included) paper manual to learn how to use all of its features.
I just picked up one of these cameras for $199 and the 30-110 lens for $99. I can't imagine a better kit for $300 than this. I consider it quite a value, and I'll deal with the minor issues of learning it's byzantine OS.
I purchased my J4 with the Nikon 18.5mm f/1.8 and 10mm f/2.8 primes. Now this is a very capable kit! I love the clean and simple button layout. The camera is very responsive and it focusses blazingly fast and super accurate. The 20 or even 60 frames per second full resolution burst rate is nothing short of amazing. The image quality is fine up to ISO800 for street photography. ISO1600 definitively is an option. The J4 is a tiny camera but the all metal body feels well build. The controls feel right too. It doesn't have an EVF, but I guess you know that when you buy a camera like this. This camera will be my everyday carry everywhere camera until Nikon announces the Nikon V4 (probably later this year). People will try to quickly dump their V3 cameras. Then I'll pick up a cheap V3. But for now, this camera is a fine companion on the streets.
I honestly love mine it takes wonderful pictures!The one downfall about it I can not get it to flash at all times like I wont it to. Because when im fighting sun sets and need that extra light but my camera don't think so they don't turn out great but other than that me and my husband both love the camera can not wait to get lens for it!

Comments, questions and tips
Comments (78)
Just made this for lunch. Only after consuming it did I see it's meant to make two servings. I thought the idea behind a mug cake was that it's single serve. The quality was, as others note below, dense and rubbery, probably due to the microwave cooking and the lack of other protocols used to make more delicate cakes. Filling, but not awfully fulfilling. Fun experiment -- the cake crawled up out of the mug and was hanging over the lip as if trying to escape. I feel like Dr Frankenstein.
I'll definitely have another go at this and omit the egg next time. I tried a version with chestnut flour instead of plain flour and 2 tbsp of agave nectar instead of the sugar and it worked out ok. A bit stodgy and dense as others have described. Has any one tried it with mashed up banana instead of the egg?
I followed fluterific00's advice and skipped the egg. I halved the recipe and the mixture was a bit dry without the egg so I added a bit of extra milk and plain yoghurt. I then microwaved at 800W for 1.5min. Was not too bad for a quick chocolate fix. It was soft and spongy. Next time I will microwave it for 1 min or less to keep it more gooey.
I used a very large mug that turned out to be too large but I did get a decent rise resulting in a nice dome like effect.
If you want this to taste amazing and be like a real molten chocolate cake after making the mixture mix 1 teaspoon of cocoa and 2 of sugar then sprinkle over the top and add hot water over the cocoa and sugar then cook omg it's amazing (also no need to mix the cocoa-sugar and water together or into the rest of the mixture)
I took everybody's advice and it came out perfectly. I used golden caster sugar, self-raising flour and 3Tbsp melted butter. I mixed the dry ingredients (same measurements as the recipe) in a bowl and the wet in a jug. I then poured the wet in the bowl, mixed and added chocolate chunks and 1tsp peanut butter. I microwaved it in the bowl for 1.50min. Great with vanilla ice cream. This method 5*.
I had high hopes for this. It tasted like burnt flour. I followed the instructions exactly. I even checked the wattage of the microwave and adjusted the power level to 7, since the wattage was 1480 W. It was also rubbery and very dense. No molten centre. I would love to find another recipe for this type of cake so if you can direct me to another recipe that works, or adjust this recipe so that it is not gross, i would appreciate it.
Was looking for an easy chocolate cake recipe and thought that this would be perfect, that was until I had actually made the cake. I followed the recipe exactly (without using chocolate chips or peanut butter). There was far too much egg as in the first minute or so in the microwave, the mixture was spilling over the top of the mug. I waited for the full three minutes and when I turned the cake out onto a plate after about a minute or two of cooling, I was face with a dense, rubbery chocolate mess. I did not read the comments before deciding to make this cake, but I will definitely read them before I try another recipe.
Made this yesterday and will not be making it again unless I have an urgent need to create rubber! Maybe one of the recipes suggested by other users is worth a try - but I wouldn't waste the ingredients following the main recipe - a lot of people seem to say there was too much egg - I used medium eggs, maybe small would work better.
Questions (2)
Tips (4)
You people seem to have missed a very important part of the recipe title. It is a MOLTEN cake, which means it is NOT a regular cake! It should be gooey, not spongy! Molten cakes have a runny center. Do not add baking powder or use self-rising flour! I agree the 3 minutes sounds too long. I would start with one minute. It should test done around edges, but center should still be soft. And using 1 tsp. baking powder for this amount of cake sounds awful!
For the quickest, easiest regular cake, I mix 1/4 c. cake mix and 2 tablespoons water in a mug with a tiny whisk. Smooth out top and nuke for 30 seconds. Yumm! Add a tablespoon of frosting, ice cream topping, PB, or nutella to top of batter before baking for a gooey pudding cake! Have also made muffin mixes this way, but they use only 1 1/2 tablespoons water to 1/4 c. mix.
This worked well for me. Using SR flour gives a better rise, and soft brown sugar makes it fudgy. Mine took about 2 minutes (800W microwave) and I made it in a cereal bowl after reading all the comments, but it would have just fitted in a large mug. Maybe the people who found it overflowed used heaped tablespoons of everything, rather than level ones? Like most microwaved cakes, it needs eating straight away.
Made this again last night, this time sticking to plain flour. I suggest you try it! It's clearly how it's intended to be - dense, fudgy (brown sugar helps) and molten-centred. Used 2 tbsp dark brown soft sugar and 2tbsp light brown soft sugar. Using SR flour or adding baking powder gives a more classic cake texture, but I like it like this! It makes plenty for two, as well.
