Tips for your resume/CV
Writing a compelling and engaging resume/CV is an art in its own right. And it can be quite a challenge. But don't sweat it — we're here to help. We've provided some tips and tricks that explain what makes a good resume great and what exactly Dell recruiters are looking for.
Describe your strengths and expertise and support them
Connect your qualities and strengths with real-life work experiences and include specific examples.
List achievements as opposed to responsibilities
Rather than providing a long list of responsibilities, focus your resume on what you have achieved in past roles, including money or time saved, processes improved, revenue generated and so on.
Include an objective
A concise and meaningful statement describing your career goals is very helpful to the reviewer.
Use effective titles
Employers will most likely form an opinion about your resume in a few seconds. Use this time to grab the attention of your employer. Think of using an effective title that compels employers to keep reading. It's recommended to be as descriptive as possible to give the employers a good idea about the nature of your past work experience.
- Bad title: Computer Programmer
- Good title: Senior Programmer — Java/J2EE
Be active; inspire engagement
Action verbs engage your reader. They're dynamic and clearly communicate your experiences and achievements. Examples include: coached, created, managed, developed, implemented, designed and so on.
Share your volunteer experience
Demonstrating how you spend time outside of work reveals a lot about who you are. Companies, especially Dell, are interested in this!
Proofread it...twice
Then, ask a trusted friend or colleague to review. They may find mistakes you missed.
Keep it brief, but one page is not necessary
The shorter, the better. However, some people may need more than one page — particularly those with many years of experience.
Make sure it is up to date
This includes making sure your contact information is current. Keeping up with your resume on a regular basis ensures that all information is relevant.
Find focus and flow
Make sure your resume has a unified message about who you are and what you've experienced. Use your objective to tell your career story, and think of other content — work history, education, qualifications and so on — as important chapters in that story.
Be honest
Your resume is a "living document" that will be edited and updated throughout the course of your entire career. Think about what you write and include, as it can reflect on your character if the information is inaccurate.
At Dell, your hard work gets noticed. Bring us some new talent and we'll recognize that too.
Our employee referral program is designed to encourage Dell team members to refer their business contacts and qualified friends for positions within the company. We believe that an active referral program is a critical part of our recruitment strategy and provides huge payoffs to the company and our team members.
On average, Dell hires over 30 percent of our external hires through referrals directly from our team members. At Dell, we have found that referred team members are more motivated, more productive and perform better overall.

Modified Mustangs & FordsEvents
1,000+ Mustangs Attempt World Record Cruise in Charlotte
Charlotte Motor Speedway was home to thousands of Ford Mustangs this weekend as Ford enthusiasts from all over the world poured into the area to celebrate the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration. With a dual celebration in Las Vegas, the event was bound to be a huge hit with enthusiasts from all over.
One of the feats to be conquered was the Friday Night Cruise, a Guinness Book of World Records attempt to pack as many Ford Mustangs as possible into a cruise from ZMax Dragway near the Charlotte Motor Speedway to Kannapolis in a 35 minute trip.
With menacing rain clouds threatening overhead, I headed to the drag strip to see if I could hitch for the cruise. With many people bringing their family and friends along for the ride, I was on a mission to find someone who was riding solo. That's when I came across Brian Longstreth, from Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, in his black supercharged 2010 Ford Mustang GT.
Brian welcomed me into the Mustang and introduced me to his daughter, Lindsey, and wife, Melody, riding ahead in Lindsey's '07 Ford Mustang. As soon as we started to get into the cars and start the engines, rain started to sprinkle the windshields. We jumped in and before we knew it, we were rolling through the hilly back roads.
Despite the dreary weather, enthusiasts lined the roads the whole way to downtown Kannapolis under umbrellas and car hatches to wave and cheer on the passing parade of Stangs. Once we arrived to the quaint, pretty town of Kannapolis, we all parked and met up with our umbrellas to listen to the live band and half a piece of Mustang birthday cake.
After hanging out on the town, it was time to grab some grub with my new adopted Mustang family and their club -- Mason Dixon Mustang Club -- before hitting the sack to start another day here at the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration.
We don't know for sure yet how many Mustangs were on the cruise, but it was said that it was close to 1,100 which would indeed shatter the old record of 620. We can't wait to get the final tally!

Post subject: Agents & Missions
K, i'm doing a study to see the proportion of mission types each class of agent gives out (ie. their division in the company) plus what kind of base mission cash reward is given (dunno about item bonuses)
i've noticed a teeny bit of randomness. an odd mining mission for security agents, plus a slight variation in cash rewards for identical missions
Now then, i've discovered that i can cram through dozens of missions using the "decline" option using a n00b character -- kited out in a lvl3 frigate to spoof the 'n00b alarm' mission exception pool.
I've also done some homework using
agent tool to find all the level1/quality0 agents closest to me from each corporate division there is. I've got that list stuffed into one of my character's waypoints folder and am running around pissing them off one by one (they stop offering at -2.0 standing)
the agent transaction index hidden away in the character window's 'standing' screen - use right click on agents
I've noticed important missions don't affect your personal standing with an agent - only the corporation. (normal missions impact the corp slightly)
obviously, i'm still doing r&d
got a few screenshots of what i've gotten so far:

Connections is the most important skill for agent mission runners. Train this up to at least level 3 before starting serious agent work, as it will allow you immediate access to low quality level 2 agents!

Not all agents are kill agents. Actually, if you start with Frigate IV, level 2 missions are mostly an issue of cash, not skill - assuming you can equip a MWD :)

hmmmm...At 200k a pop, connections skill isn't cheap by any means. not to mention it's a charisma based skill which most folk have low priority for. Though i do admit it's REALLY helpful for getting agents to like you.
Besides, at low levels i've found mission running to be more profitable than mining (since you lack major muscle for mining plus hauling the collected loot with an indy)
I'm working on seeing what missions are the best, which you can decline and which to let expire. not to mention which sector gives the best location for being near decent agents (when you have low social/connections/negotiation)
oh well, i still need to do testing to see if you can have a low level miner and profit compared to running missions...except i've got ALOT of research ahead of me. Will be fun for an 'Explorer' type like me just to muddle around experimenting.
you know, the biggest thing that pissed me off about JumpGate was that i couldn't muddle around as a n00b experimenting because of the fucking spawn craziness.
(see, in eve i can get someone to help me RIGHT AWAY kiting me out so i can sit and mine and defend myself against 'rats)
that and the decent cargo holds of n00b ships really aren't that much less than what i can boost too quickly. They really dropped the ball on those two things...i couldn't stand jumpgate when i went back to try the new economy out because of the n00b unfriendly environment.

okay, here's the definitive answer:
i took a social4 character fresh off the shelf and did a number of missions for a ZERO quality level 1 agent (i had no connection nor negotiation rank). i chose (from random) the hydrogen courier mission as my test.
mission value for declined -0.416%; for offer expiration -0.208%; for completion was 0.624%; for failure (telling the agent to stuff it) -0.468%
pretty sure failure through expiration of time gives the same penalty as telling the agent to stick it.
Anyways, your character's social skill affects the value in a positive way - pretty sure (will test to confirm) - That's what i found out. okay, so a level0 social character declining the same mission gets -0.520%
Guess i'm going to play around with this hydrogen battery stuff for a bit more with another character. I'll have to wait till tommorrow to do that.
As for corporate standing increases you can see this absolutely cool thread
that has the equation. if you want to test it. here's two pics
image of missions run from 1st initial to the one just before the important one
the important mission run

Agent Compatibility
(either faction or corporate standing towards your character)
Level 1 q 0 = 0.00
Level 2 q 0 = 2.00
Level 3 q 0 = 4.00
Level 4 q 0 = 6.00
add to that the Base Agent Quality * 0.05
i was able to chat to my agent for a bit while i was in negative standings...dunno why yet
Which implies that lvl5 characters will need a corporate/faction
effective standing
of approx 7-9...whenever they get enabled, but since PapaSmurf said agent standing decay will never come back, you'll eventually get there.
skill enhances a n00b's
effective standing
by quite a large margin (once a n00b has done at least one mission for said corporation/faction)
it's quite expensive though, at ~200k isk to purchase the skillbook...worth it though if you've got help from a corp outfitting you with gear enough to take on tougher missions
Though, remember that completing the n00b tutorial agents missions rewards you with a substantial faction standing.
skill enhances the
effective quality
which helps modify rewards (remember that only
BASE quality
is used when determining agent compatibility)
GM Abraxas
Connections has an effect on your agent's Effective Quality, but not nearly as much as Negotiations does. Train the latter if you want to improve the agents you currently have. The formula is like this:
Effective Quality = Base Quality + (5*Level of Negotiation) + Effective Standing.
The effects of Connections on your Effective Standing is noted above.
Papa Smurf
Anyhow, to talk to any agent except a tutorial agent or a research agent, your effectivestanding must be:
((level-1) * 2.0) + (quality * 5.0)/100.0
Your effective standing is your standing number, modified by any appropriate skills. The appropriate skills are Connections, Criminal Connections, and Diplomacy, each of which will give you a 4% bonus per skill level if they are appropriate. See below for info about added a bonus % to a standing number. Connections kicks in if your npc corp->char standing is positive. Criminal Connections kicks in if the agent is a criminal. Diplomacy kicks in if your npc corp->char standing is negative. These skills do not stack.
So which standing number is it? Whichever of these is best for you: npc faction->char, npc corp->char, agent->char.
Then there's an exception case, the research agents. Because of their immense worth, and to limit the impact of a myriad of old standing system bugs in Castor, they not only require the aforementioned criteria to be met, but also require you to have an effective corp standing of ((level-2) * 2.0) + (quality * 5.0)/100.0.
Tutorial agents shouldn't have any special requirements.
So how to add bonuses like above?
When standings are being modified by X%, it's not X% of your current value, it's X% of the distance left to max out. So if f.ex. you have 2.0 in standing, a 10% increase is not 0.2 which would take you to 2.2. It's 10% of (10.0 - 2.0), or 0.8, which would take you to 2.8. What this means is that the higher your standing number, the slower it grows. A 9.9 standing is thus unbelievably much better than a 9.8 standing, when compared to f.ex. the diff between 0.0 and 0.1.
Likewise, when you're losing standings, except the max there is -10.0. Thus if you are at +10.0 (theorhetically impossible), and you get a 1% standing loss, it'll carry you down to -9.8. Real bad news, compared to if you were at 0.0 or -9.0.
That's the gist of it.
Now here's some parts I'm not going to tell you the formulas for:
The amount of corp and faction standing gained when working for a particular agent is based on the agent's level and quality, in addition to varying from mission to mission. We base the standing effect of missions on average time required to do that mission as perceived in the DB. As these numbers are still mostly obsolete Gemini numbers, it doesn't make 100% sense, but will improve when we rebalance things.
The speed you gain standings with a corp or faction varies with the size of the corp/faction.
Note: there is a very useful mostly hidden feature in the UI for standings. Right click a standing entry, select show transactions, and be enlightened.
Standings decay at a rate of 5% per week. This is not calculated using the standing formula above, it's just a plain standing = standing * 0.95. So it's hard as heck to stay at the top of the standings pyramid.
The Social and Fast Talk skills apply when gaining/losing standings. Fast Talk applies when losing sec rating in space. Social applies when gaining standings via agents.
You can lose corp standing by killing NPCs in space.
You can gain/lose corp and personal standing by doing agent missions. By failing, declining, or quitting a mission you can lose the same standings. Some missions are 'important', and give faction standing as well. Most missions don't. (Important missions are a hack as far as I'm concerned. They exist only as a late added feature due to the massive load caused by the standing system on the DB. We'll do something better in Shiva, I'd expect.).
All of the above apply to npc faction->char, npc corp->char, and agent->char standings. There are also npc faction->player corp, npc corp->player corp, and agent->player corp standings. They follow the same rules as *->char standings, and are modified simultaneously when your *->char standings are being modified. So if you f.ex. want your corp to be loved by the Amarr Empire, make sure your corp members aren't killing the Royal Amarr Navy off in space, and that they do missions for Amarr Empire corps.
The speed of standing loss/gain of player corps varies with player corp size, making larger corps have to do more actions to gain or lose standings. It's not a perfect realtime estimate, but it should do the trick.

Am i best finding a different level 1 agent with as high a quality as i can find as long as there of a Gallente corp??
kinda figured it would be a security agent. nice going. unfortunately,
The corp
has crappy agents. Before Exodus/Shiva i would have recommended it because it's an extremely small corp and your standings increase for the corp is, compared to other corp standing increases, the best. (modifier for small corps)
faster you raise standings and get a better agents in that corp, the quicker you WOULD have gotten an implant
it's all changed now. don't know exactly how. Anyways, the point is your 1.08 faction standing will allow you to pick ANY lvl1 Gallente agent regardless of standing. You'd also get away with being able to chat up -20 quality lvl2 gallente agents.
my favorite agent lister is dead, atm. Your best bet is to look up nearby corporate info panels while inflight, goto their 'agent' menu and right click on any 'available' agent and set destination - do that for all the agents so you get a readout on your HUD how far away they are.

It works the way it works but at least now you can decline a mission every four hours or so without losing standings. Just enable the warnign message and you will be informed if you try to decline another mission before the 4 hours passed. Just be sure you check the journal since I found a few times I recieved offers without actualy talking to the agent. And if an offer times out, you do lose standings.
And btw, when you have high standings you have to do a lot of missions to gain what you lose from just one, since all the % changes are calculated from your current position to either +10 for increase or -10 for decrease. So if you are at 9.0, you will lose 19 times as much as you will gain for the same type of mission.

anyone who has actively tried to actually complete some specific offers knows that you
to run multipe agents simultaneously, and keep them at different fixed levels of LP.
Take +3 implants for example:
The implant offer itself requires 10.000 LP. That means if you want an implant, and reach that amount of LP with your agent, you need to stop doing missions for that agent, and switch to another.
Furthermore, for a +3 implant you need 500 high-tech goods. 125 high-tech goods are available for 2500 LP, so you need at least four more agents, which you raise to exactly 2500 LP.
I'm currently juggling 7 different agents. I already have received two +3 implants and a faction frig, so I dare to say that I'm somewhat successful [8)]
But if LP were collected corp wise that wouldn't have been as easy. While I have enough faction standings that I could in theory have each agent from a different corp, it is hugely convenient that I can have different agents from the same corp, who are often located in the same solar system or even the same station.
Are those few offer emails (which can easily be ignored) so terrible that you need to turn the whole LP system upside down?
I agree that there could be an option to have agents stop sending mails if you don't visit them, or better, tell the agent that you don't want any more offers from him which forfeits the LP you have with him, but please let the LP stay per agent.

The Lynx
The Agent checks 3 standings:
his personal standing to you
his corporations standing to you
his factions standing to you
The Agent requires a minimum standing of either personal, corp or faction (only the last is relevant to a n00b.) At the agent information tab you can check that requirement.
Doing missions raises his personal standing to you, and raises his corporations standing to you. Every once in a while you'll get an important mission wich raises his factions standing to you. So you dont have to stick with one agent, you can as well stick with one corp and still raise ur standings quickly (but you might not want to ... read more about that in "Quality"-chapter.)
Another way to raise standings are skills. To raise a positive standing, train connections (a social skill) - helps ALOT.
assuming you've completed the starter missions, from your first agent,
you should have 1.0 faction standings. Each level of connections raises this by 0.36 standing ...do not that the skill formula is a bit complex, but we'll leave that for another chapter
If you decline 2 missions within about 4 hours, you'll loose personal and corp standings. If you fail a mission, you'll also loose personal and corp standings. If you attack NPCs you'll loose standings to that faction.
Standing-increases per mission is influenced by the agents quality (and so is mission reward/loyalty points.) The higher it is, the more standing you'll get. The agents quality isnt fixed though and can be increased (=effective standing): for each point in his personal standing, he will get 1 point quality increase (Thats why you dont want to change an agent too often). For each level in negotiation skill you'll get 5 points in quality.
the way i assume it works is a straight percentage penalty or boost to any agent reward
So if you want to go to the next level agents, you'll be there a little bit faster using higher quality agents (but never forget, that ur current agent may have a huge quality bonus already due to his personal standing).
Beside the usual payment, an agent gives you loyalty points upon mission-completion. Once in a while those agents will send you an offer via eve-mail where you can spend ur loyalty points. Those offers get better the more loyalty points you got accumulated. All Agents can offer you all kinds of items on loyalty-offers; so there's no need to switch an agent because you're not happy with what he offers. In the beginning you might also get lots of loyalty-offers about contraband - just decline them if you dont feel up to smuggling. If you decline those offers or let them run out you will not be penalized.
LP-rewards arent static either, but are influenced by the agents level, the agents quality (not confirmed) and the security rating of his solar system.
Hope that helped a bit,
enjoy runing missions

For level 2 forget about loyalty points because the offers are worthless. Your main concern should be increasing your faction/corporate standing as quickly as possible so you can start doing level 3 missions.
The agent quality is more or less meaningless as well except as a restriction on your ability to use them.
For this reason your best station is one that has more than one level 2 agent so you can do multiple missions simultaneously. For courier missions especially this can be a big time saver becuase they will often send you to the same place or at least in the same direction allowing you to get a lower average mission time.
Another factor is whether the station is at a dead end. In this case you will always get sent in the same direction.

I've currently been playing for ~9 months - have 11mil SP, most of which is in combat-orientated skills, but not all. Now, I currently have a bit of spare playing time atm and was thinking about starting to do missions. I did them in the past a bit, only just past the starter agents etc. Now, I'd like to know a few things;
+ I'd like an agent with eve-wide location services. Is a lvl3+ Surveillance agent the only one that can do this?
+ Do faction ships and items only come from R&D agents? If not, who else?
+ Do I have to train an immense amount of extra skills to be able to use an R&D agent at all (a level3/4 agent)?
+ How long (skill training) would it take to be able use them at all?
+ Is it even worth using R&D agents and hoping to get something decent with the amount of people now in the lottery?
+ How long would it take to get to a decent lvl3/lvl4 agent with and without Connections?
+ I'd like to work for an Amarr agent just for the Amarr ships\items. Any advice on which corporation to start with?
Cheers for any help in advance, and i'll probably add more questions as they get answered ..

Omg, Scerenity is turning to missions
Surveillance agents are not the only ones with locator services, some other divisions like Marketing have them too. You should be able to see which agents have location services in the agent info.
Faction ships come from all agents (of those factions that do have faction ships).
To access a R&D agent you need the skill for the corresponding research field, at the agent's level. Those skills usually require two base skills at level 5, for example High Energy Physics requires Science V and Engineering V.
If you want to use more than one R&D agent at the same time, you alsoneed Research Project Management, which needs Research V and Lab Operation V.
To the lottery: It's a lottery.
You might get something cool, but don't count on it.
No idea how long you need to unlock level 3 or 4 right now. It's been getting harder with the Exodus release, because important missions usually don't give standings to your corp. Should be doable in 1-2 weeks of concentrated mission running, though.
If you are interested in R&D, you should start with a corp that has a R&D division, for Amarr that would be Carthum Conglomerate or Viziam. Alternatively, work for a corp with a Security division first (like Amarr Navy), because kill missions should get your standings up fastest. I wouldn't recomment working for Amarr, though, they are scum

If i was to pick a middle ground, I'd say in the region of 5-10mil per hour.
Best missions for loads of ISK generally include:
Gone Beserk
If you're good, you could maybe get around 20mil total rewards per hour getting these missions all the time (with a chance of officer spawns improving that total) and they all contain lots of battleships, which means getting some good loot is a little more likely
Against this, you've got missions like [Pirate Faction] Spies, Duo of Death, The Thief and a few others, where you're likely to be down around a couple of mil per hour doing these missions.
Then there is stuff like Pirate Extravaganza, Vengance and Silence the Informant that can drop huge amounts of ISK over a longer period. If you can avoid warping out then you can get the most ISK from these missions but you need to avoid wasting time warping out and flying around in deadspace a lot.
Today, f. ex. I made about 80 mil from around 7hrs play (not including loot) but I did get lucky with two extravaganza missions (no uber loot from the bonus level though [:(])
Lvl 4's give lot more isk, but are not so fun to play, only mass destruction and sniping, not like the lvl 3 ones where you can do a funny blaster rush [)]
I dont get anymore standard pirate stravaganza missions, all stravaganza missions that i get are the pirate faction ones and those really give bounty with an average number of 15 bs, 5 of them with bountys higher than 1 mil and one of 2,5 mil, the loot is not uber though (although once i managed to get a 25% cargo expander [8)]). Another great rewarding missions are Drone harrassment, infested ruins and pirate slaughter, dont forget to get the loot of the drone missions and some serious ammounts of zydrine will appear in your hangar [)]

Show Info on the station where your last agent was, or on your last agent. Next to the agent's portrait, there should be a logo of their corporation. Click on it to open the Corporation's properties page. Next to the corporation logo, there should be a logo of the State the corporation belongs to (Caldari, most likely, for you). Click on it to open the Caldari State properties page.
For the Caldari State, there should be a Member Corporations tab, that lists all the Caldari corporations.
Also shown here.
Scroll down and pick one that is into combat, like the Caldari Navy, or anything with police, security, etc. in its description. Click on it, and go to the Agents tab, and you'll get a listing of all the agents in the Caldari Navy, sorted by whether they're available to you or not.
For those not available, you can "show info" and it will tell you, "This agent will talk to you once you have xxx standing with the corporation."
Pick the best quality one that's in a nice system, go to the station where he is, and say hi. After doing a number of missions, check the list of agents for Caldari Navy (or whatever corp you picked) again to see if any higher level agents are now available.
Alternately, you can choose to work for a research firm like Lai Dai, so that eventually when they really really like you, you can take advantage of some of their research agents. Not sure if Lai Dai specifically has a Command, or Security division, but if they do, the agents in those divisions will generally give out combat missions, even if the corp isn't a military corporation.
So you can have the best of both worlds.
I don't know what you plan on doing with factions, but generally agent missions result in faction increases and decreases. Caldari State will love you, Gallente will hate you. Or some such. Showing info on the State itself should reveal a tab which lists their relationship with the other Empires. If you plan on maintaining a balanced reputation, you may want to placate the others by doing missions for one of their member corporations now and then. Just enough so you don't go below -2 (at which point their sentry guns actually start shooting you in high sec areas).
The Social skills help with factions by giving you straight boosts. It is, for example, possible to have a negative standing boosted to positive values, so you can avoid some of the repercussions of doing too many missions for Caldari, for example. Or, with another skill under that category, you can boost your default newbie standing of 1.0 with Caldari (which you got when you did the trainer missions) to 2+, thus giving you access to level 2 Caldari agents across the board.

The best tip I was given was about agents. If you go to the map, then display settings then stars, you can select "Agents".
Now, when you hover the mouse over a system, it will list all of the agents that are willing to talk to you.

This has come up in the mission forum a couple of times this week, so here is a quick guide for newbie mission runners...
The relationship between required standing and agent level/quality is easy to grasp.
Either corp or faction standing is taken into account, whichever is highest.
0.00 standing allows you to access Level 1 Quality 0 agents. From here each successive 0.05 standing increment adds one quality point to what you can access.
So 0.95 standing gives access to I+19 agents and 1.05 to II-19 agents.
It progresses as follows:
8.00 -> V+0 (Level V agents are appearing at stations but are not available to anyone yet)
9.95 -> VI-1 (Level 6 Quality -1 is the theoretical maximum under the current system)
Thus for example, it is immediately obvious that a IV-12 agent requires +5.40 corp or faction standing.
It is quite possible that L5s when they come out, will also require you to possess a certain faction standing in addition to corp standing.
Naturally you can look up the agent tab of any NPC corp and check out to which agents you already have access, and what the requirements are for the ones you cannot yet access. But having an intuitive understanding of how the system works may save you a lot of fiddling with People and Places.

As I understand it, the referral after completing the post-tutorial sequence of storyline missions no longer works. It's a hang-over from the old agent/important mission system. If you do note down the name of the third agent you will discover that having slogged your way across the galaxy you can't persuade them to talk to you.
So, what to do now? Well, if you're wanting to do agent missions you need to choose a corporation. Many people go to their faction navy straight away and start grinding to get to level 4 agents, lots of loyalty points and a nice faction ship offer. Some people want to get R&D agents and so find an appropriate R&D corp to gain standing with. If you're not quite decided yet, you can continue to do missions for your starting corp - the university schools, for example, can give nice skill books as mission bonus rewards.

I started in the Republic Military School but when it came to agent running the only ones available in that corp are adviser agents which i assume give kill missions rarely.
So i started running missions for security agents in the Republic Fleet. The only problem though is that when i get a storyline mission the related faction standing bonus usually doesn't apply to the Republic Fleet. I assume it applies to the Republic Military School instead, though I've not checked this.
I thought that maybe if i joined the Republic Fleet then my storyline missions would be with them, including the standing bonus. The only problem with this is that my application is automatically rejected. A little google'ing leads me to believe that it was once impossible to join an NPC corp other than the one you originally started in. Is this still the case?
Am i missing something here or can i just ignore storyline missions? Assuming it only drops my Republic Military School standing which seems, in my opinion, worthless anyway due to the lack of any kill agents.
My Republic Fleet standing is currently 2.69 (modified from 1.30 due to Connections 4) if that is relevant.
I think you're getting confused between factions and NPC corporations. A faction is a loose-knit association of individual corporations, usually on racial grounds. The Republic Fleet is part of a general Minmatar faction with includes other Minmatar NPC corps.
When you do missions for an NPC corp, you get standing increases with the agent you do them for and their corporation. Note that you don't have to be a member of that corp to do missions for their agents. After 16 or so missions you get your storyline mission. This is (randomly, I think) chosen to be from a corporation that is in the faction you have been working for - so it won't necessarily be for the Republic Fleet, even if you're working for them. The storyline mission raises your standing with the whole faction, which has a trickle-down effect in raising your effective standing with all the corporations in that faction. It may also, depending on the nature of the mission, lower your standing with rival factions (such as the Amarr Empire).
Generally speaking, storyline missions are a good thing. They often give good rewards - such as implants - and they raise your faction standing, allowing you to work for more agents in other faction corporations. They may not be so good if you don't want to polarise your faction standings too much - do too many and the Amarr, Caldari or whoever may end up hating you.

Derek Loosvelt
July 07, 2011
In Vault's latest Banking Survey, which we've been administering during the past few months to professionals at the top 75 investment banks in North America, we're asking numerous questions about insiders' experiences and satisfaction on the job. So far, we've received varied answers on subjects like compensation (many say their pay is great, others say it stinks); treatment by managers (some say they're treated like kings and queens, others like serfs and peasants); diversity (reports range from "we hire anyone and everyone regardless of sex and race" to "white males are the rule and that rule is rarely broken"); hours ("100-hour weeks are standard and so I can't complain" to "I knew they were bad but never dreamed they could be like this -- I haven't had a day off in 10 months, I'm in hell"); etc.However, there's one area -- no matter the firm, level, location, department, gender, race, or sexual orientation of the banker or trader taking the survey -- in which just about everyone agrees. And that area is summer internships.Specifically, what employees (of Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan, Moelis, Morgan Stanley, Citi, Centerview, Evercore, Jefferies, Houlihan Lokey, and others) say nearly uniformly about internships is that not only are they a great learning experience but they're also rather enjoyable, despite the very long hours and very hard work. Further, they say that during your internship you will be treated well by everyone from analysts and associates to VPs and MDs; you will work on real, live deals, and go to real, live, important meetings; you will learn an inordinate amount about economics, capital markets, and what investment bankers and/or traders do on a minute-by-minute basis; and that, if you work hard and learn quickly and believe that banking or trading is the industry for you, you'll be able to win a full-time job by the end of the summer.In fact, not one respondent -- who either went on to work on a full-time basis for the bank at which they interned (one in four respondents have reported doing so) or who did not return and instead went on to work somewhere else -- has reported regretting their summers spent on Wall Street.Which indeed is quite surprising, especially given that the past couple of years have been even more stressful than usual on Wall Street, with banks facing volatile deal markets and capital markets post-financial crisis; dealing with increased financial regulation and thus decreased revenues; and looking into the mouth of a possible double dip recession. And so, props should go out to the men and women at these banks who are running their internships programs -- it's obvious they're doing something incredibly right.For a bit more summer color, here are some of the words and phrases respondents to Vault's Banking Survey commonly use to describe their internships: "rewarding," "amazing," "intellectually challenging," "great bonding experience," "not sugar coated," "treated as a first-year analyst," "very intense," "terrific," "learned a lot," "transitioned directly into a permanent job," "surprised to find out how cool and friendly people were," "everyone was extremely helpful and willing to take time to explain things," "excellent," "was given the opportunity to work on multiple industries with various partners and MDs and VPs," "accurately reflected the lifestyle and workload and expectations of an incoming associate," "entire sales and trading team made an effort to make the interns feel like a welcome part of the family," "a lot of fun combined with a lot of learning," "consistent exposure to all levels of employees," "very positive," "given responsibility immediately," "treated incredibly well," "worked on a blockbuster deal," "loved it enough to come back," "finished the summer with a good idea of what the job required and whether it was a good fit for me," and "simply a sensational program."Sure, there are a few drawbacks to summers on the Street. As one respondent points out, "I was yelled at a lot." And as another notes, "You work somewhat long hours."But aside from that, there's not much not to like. And, like some lucky interns, during your 10 weeks, you might even receive the added benefit of scoring an invitation out to an "MD's place on Shelter Island," or, better yet, an invite to "play table tennis with the CEO."

ZYLORIC FOR SALE, INDIANAPOLIS — A 10-22 season will anger the fan base. ZYLORIC coupon, A sign that there's no direction will anger the fan base.
Plenty of empty seats in a 15, online buy ZYLORIC without a prescription, Online buying ZYLORIC, 500-seat arena shows the anger of the fan base.
Unless something happens in the next few days that we don't know about, ZYLORIC without prescription, ZYLORIC results, it appears as if Todd Lickliter has coached his last game at Iowa.
Gary Barta, cheap ZYLORIC, Where can i find ZYLORIC online, Iowa's athletics director, hasn't announced his decision yet, order ZYLORIC from mexican pharmacy, Comprar en línea ZYLORIC, comprar ZYLORIC baratos, but it appears, as you read a statement that doesn't give any hint of support toward Lickliter, ZYLORIC alternatives, ZYLORIC dose, that he has made up his mind.
Lickliter's critics are no doubt enjoying the moment, ZYLORIC FOR SALE.
Which is too bad, purchase ZYLORIC, Discount ZYLORIC, because by looking at the guy's resumé when he arrived at Iowa, he proved that he could be successful as a coach when he was at Butler, about ZYLORIC. My ZYLORIC experience, He couldn't build on that success at Iowa.
I've listened to plenty of critics throughout the season blast Lickliter and his team's style of play, buy ZYLORIC from mexico. Get ZYLORIC, So, I'll ask again the same question I've asked them — if Lickliter goes, ZYLORIC interactions, ZYLORIC cost, then what. ZYLORIC FOR SALE, It's going to take money to lure a big-name coach to Iowa City. Considering that the university will have to buy out Lickliter's contract with $2.4 million, ZYLORIC reviews, ZYLORIC photos, it's hard to say how much money will remain.
If there isn't a lot of money, after ZYLORIC, ZYLORIC price, the best Iowa can do will be a coach from another mid-major school. That's not to say a coach like Brian Gregory at Dayton or Tim Jankovich at Illinois State or Gregg Marshall from Wichita State couldn't put together a winner at Iowa, ZYLORIC street price. Rx free ZYLORIC, But is another mid-major coach going to want the job.
The bigger question is who is going to want the job, ZYLORIC FOR SALE. Let's be honest — Iowa hasn't been hospitable to basketball coaches since Lute Olson left, buying ZYLORIC online over the counter. Where to buy ZYLORIC, George Raveling was chased out after three years. Tom Davis was bounced by then-AD Bob Bowlsby after becoming Iowa's winningest coach, ZYLORIC from mexico. ZYLORIC images, Steve Alford was never well-received — keeping an accused rapist on the team tends to do that, though, buy ZYLORIC from canada. ZYLORIC FOR SALE, And a new coach isn't going to change the culture surrounding the program. Students don't go to games anymore. It's a stale game-day atmosphere. The program isn't marketed. Ticket prices are too high for some games and some of the upper-level seats in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. And if you're a single-game ticket holder, good luck finding a parking place close to the arena, ZYLORIC FOR SALE.
There's no question the program is better off today than it was when Lickliter took over. If everyone chooses to stay for the next coach, and the current recruiting class decides to come to Iowa, there's a good foundation of young talent, a better combination than what Lickliter had when he arrived.
And the new practice facility will be completed in the summer of 2011, so there's something to show new recruits when they come visit.
Something else to keep in mind — the new coach might not think the current roster is the right fit for his system, and so the rebuilding process that Lickliter has gone through in the last couple of seasons might start again.
So now what.
That's the question Barta has to answer if he pulls the trigger on Lickliter's ouster. Solving the problems of the Iowa basketball program go beyond hiring a new head coach. And that's something he's going to have to deal with as this moves forward.

FUNdraising Good Times
Pearl and Mel Shaw
Black History Month celebrations are incomplete without a salute to nationally recognized fundraiser Dr. Frederick Douglass Patterson, founder of the United Negro College Fund. Named for abolitionist Frederick Douglass, Patterson was committed not only to fundraising but to collective fundraising that has changed the lives of generations of African-Americans.
Born in 1901, orphaned at age 2, and raised by his sister, Patterson earned a teaching certificate from Prairie View Normal and Industrial Institute in Texas by age 14; and a doctorate in veterinary science by age 22 and a master of science degree by age 27 both from Iowa State University. At 32 he earned a second doctorate from Cornell University. At 34 he began his tenure as the third president of Tuskegee Institute, a position he held for 25 years. As president Patterson established the university's School of Veterinary Science and continued the institute's strong fundraising tradition begun by its founder Booker T. Washington. He also authored the weekly column The Southern Viewpoint published in the Pittsburgh Courier.
On Saturday Jan. 30, 1943, Patterson published his thoughts on the need for collective fundraising to benefit private black colleges with the title "Would it not be wise for some Negro schools to make joint appeals to public for funds?" And so it began. In 1944 Patterson founded the United Negro College Fund and launched the first national campaign to raise funds for 27 private, historically black colleges and universities from across the South serving 12,000 students with income of $765,000.
Fast forward to today and UNCF has raised more than $3.3 billion, almost $1.5 billion of which has been raised in the past decade alone, to enable more than 400,000 deserving students to earn the college degrees they want and need but might not otherwise be able to afford. The organization is ranked among the top 10 charitable organizations in the country by The Non-Profit Times and The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
Patterson could have focused his energies on raising funds for Tuskegee. Instead he was unselfish in his commitment to access to higher education for African-Americans. In addition to founding UNCF Patterson founded the College Endowment Funding Plan for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. The CEFP raised over $60 million for 36 participating schools. He also served as president of the Phelps-Stokes Fund focused on African-Americans and higher education.
He had a vision for both fundraising and social financing that leveraged private and public funding. From the very beginning he encouraged African-Americans to give to HBCUs with his 1943 words "... such a campaign might well begin with Negro people of America." It not only began, it continues.
Locally Lane College, The LeMoyne-Owen College, Rust College and their students have all benefited from Patterson's life work. We salute Patterson, a visionary African-American fundraiser who created one of the most well-known and well-respected fundraising organizations in the United States of America.

Artist Colony ... and Chicken Pot Pie
TheHubby and I have absolutely no sense of direction. If you tell us to take the first right and then the second left, we will probably take the first right just fine, and then ... keep going until we fall off the map or serendipitously come across something better.
Such was the case during a free morning in Jerusalem when, in order to score a few extra souvenirs "just in case," we headed out from our hotel to the Old City.
|A backyard we passed along the way.
After getting directions from the hotel concierge, asking every other stranger if we were heading the right way, and screwing it all up anyway, we found ourselves just outside the Old City at the Artist Colony. Known in Hebrew as Hutzot Hayotzer (Artists Lane), the Artist Colony was created in 1969 on a street formerly lined with old stables and storehouses. Unlike the touristy shops scattered about inside the Old City where chotchkes made in China are sold (although to be fair there are also high quality galleries tucked in there and about), the Artist Colony is home to jewelry and art studios where most of the crafts sold are created on the premises and sold by the artists themselves. Also on the street is Eucalyptus, a restaurant specializing in indigenous Israeli foods, where theHubby and I decided to stop in for an early lunch.
|Technically outside for lunch, but I digress.
Unlike most American restaurants, bread in many Israeli restaurants is a separate charge, and the restaurant was no exception. The homemade bread served us came with 5 different spreads--eggplant, beet, pesto (or spinach, can't remember which), tahini and carrot. A little on the expensive side, but worth every shekel.
For the main course I ordered the seared mallard in red wine (actually sliced duck breast), which is not exactly your typical lunch. But since the Try-N-Save back home only carries whole frozen kosher duck I jumped at the chance for what (for me) is a rare delicacy.
|Duck served with veggies.
O. M. G! The duck breast was so tender you could almost cut it with your breath. If I ever win the lottery, one of the first things I'll do is buy a case or 3 of duck breasts and try to recreate this dish. Over and over.
TheHubby ordered Oven Baked Lamb, described as "lamb and vegetables baked overnight in a clay pot." It turned out to be, in essence, lamb pot pie.
The crust appeared thick and uneven, as if someone tossed badly shaped pizza dough over a ceramic bowl. But I think the irregularity of the dough was supposed to emphasis the handmade rustic-look. But what the dish lacked in presentation was more than made up by its taste. Despite the sacrifice necessary to part with some of his food, theHubby graciously allowed me a forkful before quickly devouring the rest.
It was quite good, even if I'm wasn't really into lamb pot pie. But I do love pot pie of the chicken persuasion. So today I'll duck the duck recipe and share instead my chicken version with you, Dear Reader, with an attempt to duplicate the top crust.
I accidentally used more broth than the recipe states. Just ignore the gloppy-looking photos that follow ... your pot pie will not be as soupy.
If you prefer, you can make individual pot pies. Just split the dough into 4-6 pieces (depending upon the size of the mini-casseroles or whatever you use to contain the pot pies) and roll each into circles at least 2 inches larger in diameter than your mini-casseroles (or whatever you use to contain the pot pies).
|A cheat here. Dumped a serving into this bowl for photo.
If you have the time, make a Rich Pie Crust, the recipe for which follows the pot pie recipe. By the way, made with butter instead of margarine, this crust makes a great base for cheesy quiche. In any event, refrigerate the dough for at least one hour (check out this NY Times article for the science behind it), overnight even better. It's really worth the advance planning involved. But if time is not on your side, use puff pastry instead. Your family will still love you. Probably.
Chicken Pot Pie
Yield: 4-6 servings
1 Tbl. olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 medium or 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
8 ozs. white mushrooms, sliced
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon leaves
1 tsp. kosher salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
1/2 cup frozen peas, defrosted
1/2 cup white wine (optional)
2 cups chicken broth
1 Tbl. corn starch
2 cooked and cooled chicken breasts, shredded
cooking spray
1 recipe Rich Pie Crust (see below) or 1 sheet puff pastry dough, defrosted
Preheat oven to 425F.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add oil, wait 10 seconds, then add diced onion.
|Sent theHubby out for carrots. These are what he returned with.
Saute for 2 minutes until softened, then add carrots, mushrooms, celery seed tarragon, salt and pepper. Continue to saute frequently for another 6-8 minutes, or until mushrooms are reduced.
Stir in peas and wine (if using). Let wine come to a simmer, then reduce heat and continue to simmer for another 2 minutes to let wine and any moisture released from mushrooms to reduce.
|Ignore this photo.
Whisk together the broth and corn starch. Pour mixture into skillet. Increase high to medium-high and bring to boil, stirring frequently. Stir in chicken, then remove from heat. Taste and add more salt and/or pepper to taste.
|Ignore this photo as well.
Spray the interior of a 4 quart casserole dish with the cooking spray. Transfer chicken mixture to casserole dish. Top with pie crust, allowing overhang of up to a couple inches. Cut a few vents into top to allow steam to escape.
Place on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spillage. Place in preheated oven and bake until crust is nicely browned, 30-45 minutes.
|You didn't see this, either.
Remove from oven and allow 15 minutes to cool before serving.
Rich Pie Crust
Yield: one crust
1 3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/4 tsp. table salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, chilled
1 egg
1 Tbl. white or cider vinegar
1/4 cup ice water
Place flour and salt in food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Cut margarine into 8 pieces and add to flour mixture. Process 30 seconds or until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Combine egg, vinegar and water. Start processor and slowly pour in egg mixture through feed tube. Immediately stop processor as soon as mixture comes together, about 20 seconds. Remove dough from processor; roll into ball then flatten into disk about 1 inch thick. Wrap in wax paper and chill at least one hour, overnight even better.
Roll out chilled dough on floured surface to desired thickness, then use in your favorite recipe.
Dough can be kept for several days in fridge, or frozen in a freezer-safe bag for up to several months. Defrost, if frozen, in fridge overnight before proceeding.

One thing we have learned from the response to our poll on the Great American Novel is that Power Line readers are passionate about books. We therefore struck a nerve when we posted the request from Sergeant Dave Thul, serving in the Minnesota National Guard in Iraq, to help him out with conservative reading material for his unit. Under the heading "Book Avalanche," Sergeant Thul writes:
Wow. Really, I'm at a loss for words here. I just got back from a 3 day mission and stopped by the mail room to find nearly 30 more packages of books and magazines. The response has been overwhelming not only in quantity of packages, or in quality of the books and magazines people choose to send, but most of all in the heartfelt notes my soldiers and I have been reading with almost every package.
One woman from California, apparently not having any used books to send, ordered 6 new books from Amazon instead, over 80 dollars worth. And apparently no one listened to the header of your first post — "A note to our Minnesota readers" — because we have received packages from all across the country. At this point with well over 200 books and 300 magazines, my initial idea of passing some books around to my soldiers is moot. Instead I am working with some of the base personnel to set up a small library.
I think it is safe to say that even if the flood of books stopped today, this would still represent the largest collection of conservative American thinking to be found in Iraq. And as Al Asad is a major base in the area, it is likely to be here for several more years at least. I will be sending some photos when I can, and my soldiers have insisted on sending thank you notes to everyone. I don't think either you or I knew quite what we were starting with this, but where it is leading is truly amazing. I'll be in touch, and thanks again.
SGT Dave Thul
Once again, thanks to our many readers who have answered the call and expressed in this small way the deep gratitude we feel toward the Americans serving on our behalf in Iraq. And once again, Sergeant Thul's mailing address is:

AFR Clothing needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 34 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
AFR Clothing
AFR Clothing is an afro-centric brand that donates a portion of its profits to orphans across AFRica. The donations are used for educational purposes - so AFR Clothing is educating AFRica one shirt at a time.
Our philosophy: Look Good while Doing Good. We want our customers to buy t-shirts that will look good when they wear them and at the same time we want our customers to do good since the money from the shirts will be used to change lives in AFRica.
The t-shirt will be primarily for young adults - 18 to 35 age demographic. The shirts will be marketed at universities and other events. Therefore, try to make a design that will be appealing to this market. It will be a unisex design that will be sold to both men and women.
Although people of African descent would be part of our target market, they will not be our primary market. We want everyone to join in on this cause.
Looking for t-shirt that will speak to consumers
The t-shirt should have bring out the message - Rise Up Zimbabwe. Be creative how you bring it out. It can be in text or use graphics or both.
We want the t-shirt to include the following elements:
Try to have something that is unique to the country of Zimbabwe. Please do not use the Zimbabwean flag as it has too many colors. The t-shirt should have at most 3 colors. So do some research about Zimbabwe. Maybe use the outline map of Zimbabwe or even the name itself. But be creative.
Try to use a design that can be placed on another color way easily.
Also, the design can be oversize or regular screen. A retro or vintage styled t-shirt will be good - since it seems those type of t-shirts are coming back into style.
At the back of the shirt please include the attached logos. Just put them around the neck area.
I have attached a pic of one our current designs as well. Also, please avoid to use animals silhouettes in the design BUT feel free to use tourist destinations in Zimbabwe such as Great Zimbabwe ruins, Victoria falls etc.

Hainanese Recipes
Com Ga Hai Nam (Hainanese Chicken Rice)
Whenever I have chicken broth leftover from making bún măng gà, literally "bamboo and chicken rice noodle soup", I make chicken rice with it. The dish is called cơm gà Hải Nam; the yellow hue comes from the aromatic chicken broth (in place of water) made from Vietnamese chicken. What is a Vietnamese chicken, you ask? In Vietnam, the gà đi bộ chicken are considered "free-range"; the chickens are "trained" to run and as a result the meat has a totally different texture from the chicken found in American grocery stores. If you want to make a very authentic broth, the choice of chicken is crucial. You can find it at Asian markets; ask for a gà đi bộ, literally a walking chicken.
Traditionally, cơm gà Hải Nam is served with pieces of the boiled gà đi bộ chicken and rau thơm, which translates to fragrant herbs. The herb mixture is usually composed of rau răm (Vietnamese coriander), Vietnamese mint, Thai Basil, ngò (cilantro) and thinly sliced cabbage. Of course, the dish is seasoned with nước mắm (Vietnamese fish sauce), fresh red Thai chiles, pickled shallots and thinly shredded fresh ginger. The overall dish is light and absolutely delicious!

Does health care infrastructure have an impact on time to diagnosis and outcomes?
Search Medline for
|October 12, 2011
Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most incident cancers. However, survival time for this entity is very short. Thus gastric cancer with a prevalence of 20 per 100.000 is considered as rare disease. The disease is difficult to diagnose in its early stages, because it often progresses asymptomatic or causes nonspecific symptoms. Late diagnosis in an advanced stage is one of the main reasons for the disease's poor prognosis. We therefore aim a) to evaluate whether health infrastructure has an impact on time to diagnosis and b) to determine whether time to diagnosis and quality of health care facilities treating the patient impacts mortality.
Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis with administrative data from 3,004 gastric cancer patients with an incidental ICD-10 diagnosis of C16 between January 2004 and June 2009 was conducted. The dataset was obtained from the Techniker Krankenkasse, a nationwide operating German sickness fund that covers more than seven million insured, i.e. about 9% of Germany's population. We assumed gastric cancer to have been prevalent but undiagnosed when symptoms such as duodenitis (K29), gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (K21), abdominal and pelvic pain (R10) and other conditions typical for gastric cancer were present before the incidental diagnosis. To evaluate the relationship between in- and outpatient health care infrastructure and time to diagnosis, we employed cox proportional hazard models with time to diagnosis as dependent variable. Outpatient health care infrastructure was conceptualized by including a) the density of general practitioners or b) the density of gastroenterologists at the patient's residence. Inpatient health care infrastructure was defined by the proximity of patients to specialty treatment centers. In a second model we evaluated the impact of health facilities treating the patient and time to diagnosis on mortality. Again, we applied cox proportional hazard models with mortality as dependent variable. We defined outpatient health care infrastructure as described above. Quality of inpatient health care facilities was defined by the number of gastric cancer cases performed and the nurses per bed at hospital where the patient was treated. In both models, we additionally adjusted for co-morbidities applying the Elixhauser co-morbidity index, age and gender.
Results: While greater availability of inpatient health care infrastructure increases the likelihood of an incidental diagnosis (p=0.0003) and decreases the hazard of dying (p<0.0001), an effect of outpatient health care infrastructure on time to diagnosis (p=0.5731) and mortality (p=0.5491) was not evident. We could not either find an impact of time to diagnosis on mortality (p=0.9767). Thus, living 1 km nearer to a specialist treatment center increases the probability of a diagnosis of gastric cancer by 0.3% whereas living in an area with a higher density of physicians did not have an influence. Treatment in hospital with 100 additional cases of gastric cancer decreased the hazard of dying by 19.6%.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that the quality of inpatient health care infrastructure decreases time to diagnosis of gastric cancer and positively impacts mortality. However, an impact of outpatient health care infrastructure could not be shown. Therefore, it seems advisable to centralize the treatment of gastric cancer in specialist treatment centers while also trying to ensure adequate access to inpatient health care facilities for patients living in remote areas.
This study was supported by a research grant from the Federal Ministry for Research and Education in Germany (grant number: BMBF 01FG09007). The sponsor had no role in the study design, collection and analysis of data, the writing of the report or the submission of the paper for publication.

College students today have tremendous freedom to choose the courses they will take. With such freedom, however, students face a pressing dilemma: How can they choose well? Which courses convey the core of an authentic liberal arts education, transmitting our civilizational inheritance, and which courses are merely passing fads? From the smorgasbord of electives available, how can students achieve a coherent understanding of their world and their place in history? In a series of penetrating essays, A Student's Guide to the Core Curriculum explains the value of a traditional core of studies in Western civilization and then surveys eight courses available in most American universities which may be taken as electives to acquire such an education. This guide puts "the best" within reach of every student.

After an extraordinary introduction on the very purpose of higher education, Henrie recommends a do-it-yourself core that students can cobble together by taking one elective in each of eight semesters."

"When money looks like flying out of the window, love walks out the door." What a poetic statement. It's enough to make you well up. You could almost mistake it for an Amy Winehouse lyric used in a Cambridge university English exam, if you didn't read it carefully and discover it was actually from Sandra Davis, head of Mishcon de Reya, one of the country's leading legal firms.
And that she was talking about a rush of trophy wives looking to get out of their marriages before their husbands are hung out to dry by the investment banks they work for.
City wives are rushing to divorce court for their slice of the cake before their husbands are hung out to dry.
Who said romance was dead? Ms Davis, it would seem. The economy may be about to bust, but business for divorce lawyers is booming. "Redundancies are still only being whispered about in the big city," she told a newspaper at the weekend, "but… we have never been busier with stay-at-home spouses asking what their options are."
Proving her point, one such woman blogged on a city website that she had no time for bankers who moaned about their financial woes. "How typical that they just think of themselves!" she wrote, presumably from the comfort of her £3 million townhouse, not paid for by her sitting on her bottom all day, doing absolutely nothing at all.
"How about the impact on their wives? Most of us didn't sign up to share every waking minute with a down-on-his-luck egotist who spends his days moping around with a pitiful hang-dog expression and constantly relives past 'glories' in a feeble effort to retain what little self-respect he seems to have left."
As much as I disapprove of the state-sanctioned financial bum-raping in store for any man - be he a factory-worker or stockbroker - who is getting divorced, I can't feel complete sympathy for men who married after about 1990, when all but a blind simpleton couldn't fail to grasp the fact that a man getting married is basically throwing his financial future and security into a furnace.
Women - as they themselves make fucking clear by every damn word that spews from their mouths, by every sodding bile they spill regularly in the 'lifestyle' sections of daily newspapers - care for nothing but money. A man is money and/or potential money. To be spent by her, on her. He is a walking cash-machine, a Pension Plan. If said Man stops earning money, then he is to be ditched. If it is more lucrative for wifey to ditch and fuck over hubby then wifey will ditch him, fuck him over then ditch and fuck him over and over some more until the previously top-hatted sucker that she once declared before an altar (whilst sniggering internally) that she would be with 'for richer or for poorer' is basically left living in a cardboard box; very much poorer whilst she is far richer than she deserves to be.
Don't take the article's author's condemnation too seriously; despite claiming otherwise, she clearly is pissed off that she's not in a position to divorce some rich idiot and take him to the cleaners.
The only men who get married these days are idiots and losers.

Tesla Motors is an automotive company based in Silicon Valley, Calif. It designs, produces and sells electric cars, as well as electric powertrain components to other automobile manufacturers including Toyota and Daimler.
Tesla Goals
Tesla was founded in 2003 by two separate groups that merged since they were more likely to succeed in gaining financing by working together. While both groups attempted to commercialize, a prototype electric sports car was created by AC Propulsion. Initially, Chairman of Tesla Motors Elon Musk was the primary investor. Much of the company's primary financing came from his own personal funds.
The long term goal of the company was to create affordable, mass market electric vehicles. Since college, Musk had a goal of commercializing electric vehicles. He wanted to start with a premium sports car that would be marketed to early adopters, and then use the revenue generated to move into mainstream sedans and compact cars for the more mainstream mass market. He also wanted to produce enough electric vehicles so there would be a significant effect on the consumption of oil by drivers.
Tesla Through The Years
Tesla's first dealership opened in West Los Angeles in April 2008. Within three months, a second dealership soon followed in Menlo Park, Calif. The following year, the company expanded across the country and opened showrooms in nine cities. The company also has a European headquarters in England, with the Roadster being manufactured by Lotus. The opening of the first European showroom in London occurred in 2009. Munich, Monaco, Zurich, Copenhagen and Paris all followed, while sales representatives can be found in other regions of Europe.
Tesla was completely funded by private investors until 2009, when almost $190 million was raised with 147 cars produced. In June 2009, Tesla received funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to fund the production of the new sedan and also the powertrain components to be sold to other car manufacturers. The company achieved profitability within one month. In June 2010, Tesla launched its initial public offering on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (NASDAQ). This made Tesla the first American car company to go public since Ford in 1956.
Tesla Models
The first car produced by Tesla was the Roadster, which was officially launched in July 2006. The Alternating Current (AC) Induction motor used within the Roadster was derived directly from designs produced by Nikola Tesla in 1882. It was the first production vehicle to run on lithium-ion batteries, as well the first electric vehicle with a range larger than 200 miles or 320 km per full charge. These cars come with a hefty price tag, but follow the ideology of the company of creating a premium sports car for early adopters. This would allow Tesla to optimize the technology for the highest profit before cascading it down into inexpensive mainstream vehicles. Initial production of the Roadster was done in batches of 100, with the first selling out in less than three weeks. The second group of 100 Roadsters sold out by October 2007, with general production of the car beginning in March 2008. Through 2009, 500 of the initial Roadsters were produced.
Two new models of the Roadster have been introduced since then. In January 2009, Tesla took orders for the Roadster Sport. Based on the initial model, this was a higher performance car with an even higher price tag. The first Roadster Sports were delivered to owners in July 2009, which was the tie when production began on the 2010 model Roadster. This was the first major upgrade that Tesla had carried out on the vehicle. Tesla continued to sell Roadsters until the supply of chassis from Lotus ran out. In total, there were 2,500 Roadsters produced by Tesla.
Tesla Products and Technologies
The Model S is the sedan that Tesla developed in 2012. At half the price of the Roadster, the Model S is marketed as an alternative to the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series or Mercedes-Benz E-Class cars. Customers have the option to choose from three different battery packs with different range lengths between charging.
Not only does Tesla create its own cars, but it is an original equipment manufacturer. As such, other car manufacturers can buy parts from Tesla and use them within their own vehicles, marketed under their own name. Tesla supplies electric vehicle powertrain components, and has signed contracts with Daimler and Toyota. The first thousand Smart cars produced by Daimler in 2007 were powered using lithium-ion battery packs and charging electronics created by Tesla. In 2010, Toyota and Tesla announced they were collaborating on electric vehicle design and production.
