Joint Venture Breakup and the Exploration-Exploitation Trade-off
This paper explores the e¤ect of a potential joint-venture breakup on the level of technology transfer in a set-up with exploration-exploitation trade-offs in the presence of time compression costs. We consider a joint-venture relationship between a technologically advanced multinational firm and a local firm operating in a developing economy where the ability to enforce contracts is weak, and the local firm can quit without penalties. The multinational firm has to consider the advantages and disadvantages of an intensive transfer of technology versus an extensive one. In response to the breakup incentives, the multinational firm reduces the intensity (lowering the pace) and opts for a more extensive transfer mode (longer duration of transfer), compared to the first best. The scheme is supported by a flow of side payments to encourage the local firm to stay longer. We show that a fall in time compression costs may increase or decrease the intensity of technology transfer, both in the first-best and in the second-best scenarios, depending on the nature of the saving in time-compression costs.

Seven tips for writing good story
Story, according to the Oxford Dictionary, is an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment.
Here are some tips on what to do in order to attract people to your story – and to beguile them too:
1. Begin with an intriguing or a dramatic or a suspenseful introduction.
2. Make sure your story has an unknown outcome, so it feeds our natural curiosity. What comes next? is a universal human response to story.
3. Build your story around a problem and its solution. Every story is the story, in some sense, of a problem that the protagonist faces, and that, after he or she faces down various difficulties, he or she solves.
4. Include a recognition and identification factor. Some of the most intriguing stories take place in an environment with which we are familiar (marriages, relationships, friendships, workplaces). If we recognize the nature of the problems and challenges characters face we'll appreciate solutions. We are interested in their choices because they confirm or challenge our own choices.
5. Create interesting characters (whether fiction or non-fiction) that face challenging problems which they have to solve. This provokes an emotional response in the reader.
6. Let your characters struggle with the emotional challenges that they face. That'll ensure that the reader will identify with them and engage with your story.
7. Create a strong and satisfying ending. An old fashioned love story ended at the bedroom door – because all the difficulties in the relationship had been solved by then, and all that remained was bliss – which for third parties is boring. Steve Jobs story ends with the tale told of him on his deathbed saying a single word over and over that somehow captured the essence of the man: "Wow… wow… wow…" That's a resolution that's hard to beat.
Michele Rowe's 5 writing tips for scriptwriters
- I would advise you see as many great films as possible, and get your hands on the scripts. I saw Citizen Kane in New York many years ago, and then was fortunate enough to be able to sit alone in a private room in the New York City library with one of the original drafts. I think it was a eureka moment for me. To realise that a great film began with these scraps of typewritten paper, with all its pencil marks and typos.
- Read as many great books as you can. Dickens, Nabokov, Tolstoy. The big sweeping epics are filmic in their construction. Chekhov's short stories are great, anything psychologically astute. Jane Austen. And South African writers. That's essential.
- Go and see as many good plays as possible.
- Get into the habit and routine of writing. You need a lot of stamina to be a screenwriter because the deadlines can be punishing. So practice sitting down and writing for long stretches.
- Invest in a good pair of pajamas because you are going to be spending an awful lot of time in them.
Ten tips for writing horror
The Horror Writers Association says
Horror has once again become primarily about emotion. It is once again writing that delves deep inside and forces us to confront who we are, to examine what we are afraid of, and to wonder what lies ahead down the road of life.
And here are some tips and their sources.
- Emotional Disturbance. This is the element at the centre of horror as a genre. Why Horror Scares Us by Richard Spurling

Jo-Anne's Ten tips for writing romance
Many people think romance writing is a bit like knitting.
There's a pattern to follow and, even if you're a bit clumsy at first, you can knock off a finished product in a few afternoons while the kids are out playing.
If you have approached romance writing with a swagger and a shrug, with the idea that "everyone knows" it's easy as pie, you'll have discovered the error of your ways.
And if so, you may have been left with the dejected feeling of having failed at something you thought would be a cinch. Being published seems the most remote dream.
Neither attitude is realistic.
Writing romance is hard work. Genre fiction isn't easier than other forms of story-telling. But it's not a mysterious process.
Here are my ten most important tips to make you a successful Romance writer. If you can make each of these work for you, you'll have a humdinger of a romance.
Tip One: Believe in love – If you write romance, you need to believe in your story – and that true love is possible.
You can't write romance with your tongue in your cheek. It's too obvious that you don't mean it. Lovers of romance read with their hearts. They become emotionally involved, immersed in the story you're telling them. If you don't believe it yourself, neither will they.
Tip Two: Believe in your readers. They're not stupid. Most romance readers have some college education and many are educated professionals. Most work outside the home part or full-time.
They read for escapism – and for the emotional intensity. Don't talk down to them.
Tip Three: Create strong characters. Romantic stories are character-based. We need to identify with them if we are to care what happens to them.
Let them have depth, and some quirks and contradictions. People aren't one-dimensional, nor are they stereotypes. Neither should your characters be.
Tip Four: Create conflict. Something must keep your characters apart, while they are irresistably drawn to each other. You can't just throw in a few arguments and misunderstandings. We must wonder how they'll ever be together.
Conflict can't be intractible. They can't be so unpleasant that we worry about them being together in the end.
But neither can you construct a Romance based on two people meeting, having a few happy times together – walking on the beach, going out with his friends (who all like her), meeting his mother (who approves) and finally tying the knot. What's there to keep us reading?
Tip Five: Write in strong scenes. We want the story told in a series of tangible scenes that show us what's happening to them. Each should have a dramatic proposition that carries the story forward and develops your characters.
Don't tell us what happened between them. Place us right inside the scene, so that we can see and hear it for ourselves.
Tip Six: Show, don't tell. In other words, don't include paragraphs and paragraphs of exposition. Show what your characters are like, don't tell us. Don't tell us she's kind. Show us her kindness, and his inability to trust – through what they say and do, and how other characters relate to them
Tip Seven: Give them a believable setting. You must know it well in order to write it. You need to know far more than will ever appear in your book. But knowing the details gives you the confidence to write with authority.
Don't get carried away by your research and write long details just for the sake of showing it off. Research is like good make-up. It should make you look better, but you shouldn't be aware of it.
Tip Eight: Every detail has a job to do. Every description, every subsidiary character, every scene, must take the story forward or develop your main characters further.
Tip Nine: Write believable dialogue. This is what people first notice about a book. If the dialogue rings true, it brings pace and energy to a story. It helps you "show", rather than tell what your characters are like.
Dialogue should be the appearance of real speech. But if you've ever recorded people speaking, you'll see they do a lot of repeating and um-ing and ah-ing.
The challenge for the writer is to give the appearance of real speech, without its drawbacks. Allow people to interrupt each other, have them not finish their sentences, but don't let them go on long, circuitous repetitions.
Tip Ten: Edit well. You can fix almost anything in the rewrite. Switch from your writer persona, who loves every word, to a more critical editor. Look at every scene, character and detail. Does it take the story forward. Be ruthless.
Cut adjectives and look for the dreaded sagging middle. If things sag in the middle, look for scenes where nothing much happens. Kill them or make sure something happens that will move your story along.
They're easy to say, but harder to adhere to. I guarantee, though, that if you can make these points work for you, you'll have a publishable Romance, full of love, conflict and suspense.

Good write up over at wsj.com:
It wasn't too long ago I was reading about all these new businesses that planned to chase boomers retirement dollars. Times have changed....
This quote is interesting too
As of 2008, the latest data available, people aged 65 to 74 were spending 12.3% less than they did ten years earlier, in inflation-adjusted terms. They cut spending on cars and trucks by 46%, household furnishings by 35% and dining out by 27%. At the same time, they spent 75% more on health care and 131% more on health insurance.
Nice clear example of how health care cost has become a serious drag on the economy. So nice that our new spiffy health care laws put cost control front and center.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
14:29 13 January 2013
Even with the mercifully mild winter we've had so far, energy prices are high enough to cause concern about the bills that'll soon be landing on our doormats. If you're worried about how you'll afford to pay, here's what to do.
The full weight of some of last year's energy price rises will soon become apparent. MoneySupermarket research predicts that energy customers on standard tariffs could be facing quarterly bills of £530 in the coming weeks and months.
We often give tips and advice on how to lower your energy bills to make them more affordable.
But what happens if you have an energy bill you simply can't afford to pay?
The important thing is not to bury your head in the sand, and to take the following action as soon as possible.
Contact your energy suppliers
The very first thing you should do when faced with an overwhelming energy bill is to get on the phone to your energy supplier or suppliers and tell them you can't afford it. They're not going to write the debt off, but they can work with you to agree on an affordable repayment plan for your arrears.
Here are some useful numbers for each of the Big Six suppliers:
• Eon Caring Energy Team 0345 301 4875
• British Gas 0800 072 8625
• SSE Careline 0800 622 838
• Scottish Power Carefree Response 0845 270 0700
• Npower Spreading Warmth Team 0808 172 6999
• EDF Priority Service Team 0800 269 450
The energy industry is regulated and firms are obliged to respond in a certain way in these circumstances. Energy suppliers are duty-bound to give you advice on how to pay what you owe and to offer a payment plan based on what you can afford.
It's crucial to work out what you can genuinely afford to pay back, otherwise the repayment plan will be a wasted opportunity. Look carefully at your monthly income and outgoings before committing to any repayment plan. Citizens Advice has a budgeting tool which may help.
Gas and electricity suppliers can arrange weekly, fortnightly or monthly payment plans which will cover the costs of what you're currently using and the arrears you've accrued.
They're not allowed to charge you more than you can manage in an attempt to clear the debt faster. If you feel they're trying to do this and they won't reconsider their offer, they could be in breach of their licence conditions and you could make a formal complaint.
The ombudsman for energy can be found here and can also be contacted on either 0330 440 1624 or 01925 530 263.
If, after agreeing on a repayment plan, you're still struggling, your supplier may seek to install a prepayment meter in your home so that you can no longer go into arrears.
If you're on benefits
If you're on benefits and you're struggling to pay your bills, speak to your suppliers about the Fuel Direct scheme, where affordable repayments are taken directly from your benefits.
To be eligible for Fuel Direct, you must be in receipt of income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, Income Support, income-related Employment and Support Allowance or Pension Credit.
Fuel Direct will be cheaper than a prepayment meter and means you'll never be without gas or electricity because you can't afford to top up your meter. If you think Fuel Direct might be your best option you need to visit your local Jobcentre and get them to ask your suppliers if they will agree to the scheme.
Find out if you can get help
There are various kinds of help available for those struggling to keep up with their energy payments.
For example, the British Gas Energy Trust and the EDF Energy Trust offer help for people who are struggling with energy debts, as well as rent and council tax arrears. You can find the eligibility criteria and apply for a grant on each of the respective websites, and you don't have to be a British Gas or EDF customer to qualify.
If you were born on or before July 5, 1951, you're eligible for the government's Winter Fuel Payment. The tax-free payment of between £100 and £300 is paid automatically to those receiving the State Pension or another security benefit, excluding Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit and Child Benefit.
Payments are made between November and December and the amount you'll receive (for now) depends on your age and circumstances. If you're not receiving Winter Fuel Payments but think you should be, find out how to claim here.
Former care minister Paul Burstow MP and the Centre Forum think-tank are calling for means-tested Winter Fuel Payments in future, saying the savings could be used to fund the majority of the £1.7billion proposed reforms to the elderly care system in the UK.
There's also the Warm Home Discount scheme, which is separate from the Winter Fuel Payment and could get you a £130 discount on your winter 2012/13 fuel bill.
You'll qualify for the discount if your supplier was part of the scheme on July 21 last year, your name or your partner's name was on the bill and you were either: 80 or over and getting the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit; or under 80 and only getting the Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit.
Those eligible will either get the discount automatically or receive a letter telling them how to claim.
Finally, if you're getting certain benefits you may also be eligible for a Cold Weather Payment. If your local temperature is below zero degrees Celsius (or predicted to be) for seven or more consecutive days, you could get £25 for each seven-day period of cold weather between November 1 and March 31.
To be eligible, you need to be receiving Pension Credit, Income Support, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or income-related Employment and Support Allowance. You'll find more details here.
Save yourself from bill shock
If you've managed to pay a big energy bill but it was a struggle, then you need to do something to make sure you never suffer from 'bill shock' again.
The obvious first step is to make sure you're on the absolute cheapest tariff. Our energy comparison service will tell you if there's a cheaper deal to be had elsewhere. All you need to tell us is your address, current supplier and tariff name, and your current payment method.
It only takes a couple of minutes and if you decide to go through with the switch, the old and new providers arrange the switch between them in around six to eight weeks, the only difference you'll notice is that your bills start coming from a different company.
Even if your supplier is the cheapest, you may still be able to switch to a cheaper tariff. Online tariffs are always cheaper than standard tariffs, so if you're on a standard tariff you're missing a trick.
Switching to monthly direct debits rather than quarterly billing can also take the sting out of energy bills by portioning the amount into more manageable chunks. You'll find more money saving tips like this here.
The important thing to remember if you're struggling with energy bills is that there are plenty of options available. From repayment plans to grants, there should be a way to help you cope with the cost of energy.

Seeking to bring the qualities of well-designed games to pedagogical assessment, the University of Michigan created a learning management system that uses gaming elements such as competition, badges and unlocks to provide students with a personalized pathway through their courses.
By David Raths 08/24/16
UM School of Information and School of Education
a new type of learning management system called GradeCraft. GradeCraft borrows game elements such as badges and unlocks to govern students' progress through a course. With unlocks, for example, you have to complete a task before moving to the next level.
Written in Ruby on Rails and hosted on Amazon Web Services, GradeCraft was created by a small team of students and faculty with additional software support from Ann Arbor-based developer Alfa Jango. Their work received support from UM's Office of Digital Education and Innovation and the Office of the Provost. GradeCraft can work as a stand-alone platform or in conjunction with a traditional LMS via the LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) protocol.
Here is how it works: Instructors create a course shell within GradeCraft (similar to the process with any LMS). Students use a tool called the "Grade Predictor" to plan a personalized pathway through the course, making predictions about both what they will do and how they will perform. When assignments are graded, predictions turn into progress; students are then nudged to revisit their semester plan, reassessing what work is available and how well they need to do to succeed overall. Students are able to independently choose an assessment pathway that matches their interests within the framework of learning objectives for the course.

Saint Leo University uses a game-based storyline to invigorate professional learning.
By Dennis Pierce, 01/27/16
Borden and his colleagues teamed up with Edchat Interactive, a company that is working to transform online professional development into a more interactive experience that reflects how people learn best, and Games4Ed, a nonprofit organization that brings together educators, researchers, game developers, and publishers to advance the use of games and other immersive learning strategies in education.
"People don't learn by watching somebody discuss a series of slides; they learn best by interacting with others and reflecting. Great teachers always have people break into groups to accomplish a task, and then the different groups all report back to the group as a whole. That should be replicable online."
Adult Learning Through Play
Using simulations for professional development is fairly common. For instance, in SimSchool, a program developed by educational scientists at the University of North Texas and the University of Vermont, new and pre-service teachers can try out their craft in a simulated classroom environment, doing the same activities as actual teachers but getting real-time feedback from the simulated program and their instructors.
Christopher Like, a science teacher and STEAM coordinator for the Bettendorf Community School District in Iowa, developed a game-based model for ed tech professional development that has been adapted by K-12 school districts across the nation. His game, Mission Possible, has teachers complete 15-minute "missions" in which they learn technology skills and advance to successively higher levels. "It engages teachers' competitive nature just like Call of Duty does with my eldest son," he wrote in a blog post.
Based on the literature regarding games, gaming, gamification, game-based learning, and serious games, several clear trends emerge:

4. It's a Wacky, Wacky World
1. WestJet, JetBlue and SouthWest Airlines Fly High With Humor
What makes for a successful airline these days? Well, according
to numerous management experts, airlines like Southwest and
JetBlue (both based in the U.S.) and Canada's own WestJet
Airlines success has very little to do with just offering
discounted fares, and LOTS to do with the culture these organizations
have created. Although numerous airlines have tried to recreate
the success of these low-fare carriers, none have succeeded because
they haven't changed their organizational culture.
All three of these airlines are known for their consensual style of
management, and for management teams that are loved instead of
loathed. And perhaps even more importantly, they are known for their
good humor, informality, teamwork, employee enthusiasm, pride and
friendliness — a winning formula in any business.
And what other airlines (and businesses period) have failed to
realize is that you can't just recreate the business model of these
low-fare airlines and hope to be successful, because, to paraphrase
a former U.S. president – "It's the People Stupid!"
2. Mike's Fun at Work Tip
Start an office photo album and keep it on display
in your lunchroom, or put it out in your reception area
to share with customers.
If you've got a website and keen webmaster, create
a digital album as well.
3. Quote of the Week
"The Irish treat a serious thing as a joke, and a joke as a
serious thing." John Casey
4. It's a Wacky, Wacky World
Visitors to a zoo in India have been banned from laughing,
after a politician witnessed a gathering of a laughter club at
a zoo. The grouchy minister found the laughing offensive
and decreed that never again shall people be able to laugh out
loud while visiting this particular zoo.

The world's most popular answer works wonders.
Sometimes I like to mess with young surfers. I remember being such a little shit out in the water that it's incomprehensible to me why no one ever punched me in the face. In our early teens, my friends and I were your worst nightmare if you were out in the water trying to relax and catch a few waves before or after work. We'd scream, make fun of everyone else in the lineup, splash around, blow waves on purpose, and basically be obnoxious little f-kers.
Sure we'd get yelled at by older guys and sometimes even threatened. The problem for the angry person holding up a fist was just like in nature. We were a pack of frothing hyenas, and we never surfed alone. We were all skinny toothpicks with big heads that looked like lollipops in our wetsuits, but there were never less than ten of us.
Now cut to present day when the thought of surfing with ten friends is a nightmare. A party of three is just perfect, and out in the water we mind our own business. Now we're the ones annoyed by those little shits. I even yelled at some obnoxious kid in the water yesterday. He was just like I was when I was younger. His high-pitched voice squealed obscenities after missing a wave, his little pack of gerbil friends joined in and laughed, causing a falsetto chorus of cuss words about ten feet away from me.
Here's where it got funny: I turned to the kids like an old salty sea dog (bitter 'cause I was catching shitty waves) and said something totally stupid: "Hey kids, shut the f-k up."
They did, but they gave me the sourest look ever. They huddled up and had a little rat conference. The circle opened up, and they yelled back, "What's your problem?"
I knew I was being an asshole. I shouldn't have had a problem with young kids having fun in the water-and for the record I did way more annoying stuff than that to other people. The only thing I could think of to say was, drumroll please … "I don't know."
The perfect answer to the perfect question-I didn't know what my problem was other than I wish I were thirteen again.-C.C.

We temper our enthusiasm for this music, sharing it with like-minded listeners. Sometimes when a hard-hitting disc like Bad Guys comes out, you are tempted to drop it into your neighbors' sound system and challenge them to dig what's being put down. Go ahead and do just that. The Zé Eduardo and Jack Walrath Quartet is strong enough to hold its own in circles beyond jazz.
Don't get me wrong. Bad Guys is a pure jazz recording, flowing straight from the musical tradition of Charles Mingus through his ex-trumpeter, Jack Walrath. Portuguese bassist Zé Eduardo has listened to his fair share of Mingus too. He projects a large sound that refuses to leave the front lines of any recording.
Walrath and Eduardo are joined by two Spaniards, the Coltrane-influenced saxophonist Jesus Santandreu and a dynamo of a drummer, Marc Miralta. Big Mingus-like fingers open the disc with the Thelonious Monk-inspired tune "Simian Spring Song, penned by Walrath. Away you go. Walrath pushes the holier-than-hip trumpet throughout. He plays behind the beat often, as if to comment, "these guys are playing some powerful stuff here!
The call and response of "Novissims slows the action a bit, with Walrath and Santandreu trading phrases against Eduardo's drummer-less bass comments. I don't know what the title means, but its meditative aspects are chilling. The Mingus composition "Sue's Changes is a fitting cover for this band, with its time changes and mood shuffling. Walrath presents his entire resume here. A great history of jazz and emotion in one tune.
As Louis Jordan used to say, if this music doesn't move you, "Jack, you dead!

About Me
experiencing as much as humanly possible
I always want to be experiencing something. Sitting around doing nothing, makes me feel guilty (however that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a day of doing f@#% all). I have done many travels, enjoy living abroad and hope to be in Africa for the foreseeable future.
Further I like to discuss with other people, on all topics (although I have put a moratorium on discussing religion due to some bad experiences and me being a die hard atheist). But in general I'm always up for a good conversation. Show me alternative views, convince me that I'm wrong, etc. . That being said, I'm not going to make it easy for you :).
Also I am willfully naive. I always want to see the good in people. I'd rather be disappointed in someone than to always question peoples motives. As a consequence, I don't trust people that don't trust other people. That being said I'm not stupid, I'll give everyone a chance, but ... you know.
Humor is the best way for me of dealing with most situations. Whats the point in feeling sorry for yourself for getting ripped off or having a accident. So despite the naivete I can be pretty sarcastic, but it's not out of a cynical point of view, but more of a humor thing.
What else???? oh yeah I'm pretty direct. So I view it as a form of honesty.
Oh some practical stuff: I don't smoke (cigarettes) and I enjoy both a good beer and wine (small and large quantities depending). I prefer a bar with some nice music to a loud disco. Dont mind a party of course, but don't really party every day of the week.
So this pretty comprehensive, but please don't judge me based on this self analyzes :) . Probably I left stuff out, I'm wrong about some things, or I have changed by the time you meet me:)
'You can't have everything' is a much heard statement. From that people often infer that you shouldn't want everything.
I disagree. It's not because you can't have everything that you shouldn't want everything.
Simple math corroborates my point: if you get 50% of what you want in life, then only wanting 50% from life will get you 25%. On the other hand, if I remain to want all in life, I will end up with 50%, which is 100% more than the alternative outcome!
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
just spreading the word
A few years ago an American and Canadian on their Eurotrip stayed over at my place in Ghent. Together with a few friends, who were staying over (because there was a festival in the town) we showed them the Belgian (student) way of life. One of the best summers I've had till now.
Last year I stayed over at the American's place in Washington. While he was working I went on the usual tourist route, and at night he showed me around DC nightlife. Great guy, still call him a friend.
I like...
Movies/Series: Who says there is something wrong with a little escapism from time to time.
Traveling: kinda obvious seeing as I'm on this site.
People around me: even though I don't mind being alone from time to time. Life is just so much better if you have people around to talk to, have fun, or just share the moment.

Hi everyone. I
You may just be in a dead zone, but if you are having this issue in multiple locations you should contact VZW tech support.
for now, go to settings/wireless&networks/mobile networks and make sure data roaming is enabled(and make sure you disable if you travel out of the country or you will get slammed with a crazy bill).
Also, dial *228 and enter option 2. This may help as well.
As for your battery--if you are in a 1 bar area your phone is constantly searching for 3g, and this will eat your battery in a few hours. One solution i use is to turn off the mobile network while I am in poor service areas(and not using the data). There is a widget for this that makes it as easy as one touch.
