Six of the best: meals at Gourmet Abu Dhabi
With four-letter words flying about, high-tension tight-rope races to the finish and endless celebrity egos to be massaged, it is one of the hottest fortnight of the year inside Abu Dhabi’s kitchens. But the fruit of those labours make for fine eating over the now much-awaited annual fixture that is Gourmet Abu Dhabi which, this year, attracts 18 of the world’s top chefs and six of the best pâtissiers.
A main pillar in Abu Dhabi’s ambitions to be an internationally recognised gourmet destination, the event has expanded significantly in the past year and draws some of the best names in the business. But if you can’t take up residence in the capital for two weeks, don’t worry – we’ve picked the best meals to tuck into.
ECLECTIC TALENTS



If you can only get to one thing this year, make it the opening. The red-carpet gala features the best local talents presenting the finest their kitchens can dish up in nice sample portions, so you can try a little of everything. Guests will be spoilt for choice with over 14 food stations, each prepared by a participating hosting establishment and its team of chefs.
Among the many city chefs plating up perfection are the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr’s John Cordeaux, last year’s Hotelier magazine chef of the year, Chef Ernst-Lothar Frank executive chef of the Armed Forces Officers Club & Hotel and the Emirates Palace’s Wolfgang Fischer, who runs a staggering 12 restaurants, five lounges, two bars and 126 kitchens and pantries every day.
Plus there’s the controversial, passionate food of Swiss superstar Gilles Perrin and Amrish Sood’s classic Indian delights that have made his Ushna restaurant a favourite as far afield as Dubai.
The details: February 2, 8.15pm, Fairmont Bab Al Bahr, tickets Dh450
THAT BLOKE FROM TV
Renowned British celebrity chef, James Martin will headline his third Gourmet Abu Dhabi with a celebrity dinner this weekend. Expect the TV personality, the pin-up star of popular UK television shows “Strictly Come Dancing”, “Ready, Steady, Cook” and “Saturday Kitchen” to serve up his speciality British fare – combining traditional ingredients and cooking techniques with a modern twist – for up to 250 guests.
Martin burst on to the British cuisine scene when famous British chef, Antony Worrall Thompson, noticed the talented youngster’s work at Scarborough Technical College – where Martin was named Student of the Year three years running – and brought the graduate to his 190 Queensgate restaurant in London.
From there, Martin’s career has gone in one direction – up. After opening the Hotel and Bistro du Vin, the 21-year-old Head Chef made national headlines by daringly changing the menu every day. By 1994, Martin had established an adoring British and international fan-base through his varied television work for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, UKTV and Sky Television.
The details: February 3, from 7pm, Crowne Plaza Abu Dhabi Yas Island, tickets Dhs750

what the best girl group korea

SNSD was picked as the ‘Best Girl Group‘ while 1st generation K-Pop girl group Fin.K.L came in 2nd. Wonder Girls took the 3rd spot while SM seniors S.E.S (now disbanded) claimed 4th. KARA ranked 5th, Brown Eyed Girls 6th, rookie group Secret 7th and 2NE1 took the 8th spot. Lastly SM town juniors f(x) claimed 9th (soshi’s number? ) while veterans Baby V.O.X rounded up the top 10 coming in 10th
1.SNSD
2.fin.k.l
3.wonder girls
4.S.E.S
5.KARA
6.2ne1
7.brown eyed girls
8.secret
9.f(x)
10.baby vox
-I’m really surprised Secret made it to that list… I mean, really?? I’m not hating or anything and they’re pretty good, but Top 10 of All Time? I honestly don’t think they’ve accomplished enough to be considered that. Truthfully a couple really good groups were snubbed and should be considered in the top 10, the old Jewelry (before they blew it up in 09), and CSJH The Grace, in their prime they were much more accomplished than Secret today

How to make a Girl Fall in love for You

How to make a Girl Fall in love for You
was amazed to learn that for men making a Girl Fall for them is a serious matter. I know of this guy who is very good looking and financially stable, I was surprised when he told me that he was reading a lot of books on how to attract a woman. He told me that he used to be shy and very uncomfortable with women. He said that when he was in high school he is having a hard time asking a girl on a date, this was his problem until his late teens. One day he went to a bookstore to buy something for his school, he was surprised to have found a lot of books on how to make a girl go crazy for a man. He was so happy so instead of buying the book he needed for school he bought the "how to get a girl" instead.







After a few months of reading and practicing what he read on the book, his situation improved, he became more confident and surprisingly getting more attention with the opposite sex. Sometime it's the girls who ask him on a date


From a girl's point of view the things that makes us attracted to men are:

  • Confidence - we want the man we will go out with to have faith and trust on himself and his worth.
  • Good hygiene - a man should always smell good, he doesn't need an expensive perfume, but he should smell clean, and should always have a clean face.
  • Good Posture - a man with a good posture will always look confident.
  • You should always look at the girl in the eyes when you talk to her, this will show you are sincere with everything you are saying.
  • You should always make the girl feel that she is the only girl for you; remember a womanizer is the #1 turn off for a woman.
You should talk sense, a woman always want a man that is smart and has BRAINS! You should always give time for a woman... You should always call and take her out, even in a not so expensive place. Girls doesn't want cheap men! Girls need assurance! You should always assure her you like or love her by telling it to her. Make sure you remember the important occasions in her life this is really a plus factor.
I hope this will help the men out there who are having a problem on how to make a girl fall for them! But remember if you think you have done everything for her to make her like /love you and still you don't feel any love from her, just forget her and find a new girl who will love you back.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting!!!

ATI Radeon HD 5970 Review: Dual-GPU Graphics

ATI Radeon HD 5970 Review: Dual-GPU Graphics
ATI revealed its last generation Radeon 5000 graphics family last September, when we got the chance to review the ATI Radeon HD 5870, and what a treat that was.


In a few tests the single-GPU Radeon HD 5870 was able to outgun the mighty GeForce GTX 295, while in most it managed to match or improve upon the Radeon HD 4870 X2. As you are likely aware, both of these products carry dual GPUs, which bring a number of implications, not to mention bigger price tags.
Looking forward we knew Nvidia would have no immediate response to the new Radeons, while on the other hand ATI was not done unleashing its full series of products. Subsequently we looked at two more products that were meant to underperform the flagship HD 5870: the slightly cut down Radeon HD 5850 and the mainstream aimed HD 5770
But as we discussed in our preliminary Radeon 5870 review, on the horizon was also a follow-up to the Radeon HD 4870 X2, code-named "Hemlock XT", which in essence would put together a pair of Radeon HD 5870 GPUs on a single PCB.
 

Today AMD is officially unveiling the Hemlock as the new ATI Radeon HD 5970, hoping to expand its current dominance in single-GPU performance with the fastest single-slot graphics card on the market -- a title that until today was reserved for Nvidia's dual-GPU GeForce GTX 295.
The Radeon HD 5970 looks to be well suited for the job. The GPUs used in this card use exactly the same configuration found on the Radeon HD 5870, while core and memory frequencies match those of the Radeon HD 5850. This provides the HD 5970 with an unmatched memory bandwidth of 256GB/s.
 

All this horsepower will come at a hefty price, as AMD expects to charge as much as $600 for it. This is a bit hard to swallow, but all things considered it's about where we expected it to stand among the rest of high-end graphics offerings
The $400 Radeon HD 5870 is still sold out virtually everywhere due to extreme shortages. The Radeon HD 5850 version still costs $300, meaning that a pair of them would cost the same amount as a single Radeon HD 5970, and we do not expect the performance to be nearly as good. On the other side of the equation, Nvidia's top performer, the GeForce GTX 295 is selling for around $500.
As we see it, only extreme users looking for the best possible gaming experience - or the bragging rights attached to the label - will find the Radeon HD 5970 to make complete sense.
Knowing this is the 5970's intended market, AMD has stamped a big "unlocked" label over the card in our press kit. Perhaps more marketing buzz than actual functionality, the Radeon HD 5970 allows you to jack core and memory frequencies as high as you like -- or at least as high as they will go without compromising stability. This in itself is far from exciting news as there's been software available to do just that for ages.
The most interesting part should come from the ability to adjust voltages and thus increase the card's overclocking room, something we'll be checking in detail next.

do you think with Nokia N8

do you think with Nokia N8
do you think with Nokia N8


Nokia N8 review
The first time Nokia's N8-00 popped up on our radar was way back in early February of this year. On that chilly, misty morning, we learned of a mythical being capable of shooting 12 megapixel stills, recording 720p video, outputting via HDMI, and -- most importantly -- ushering in the promised Symbian^3 touch revolution. It's been a long road of leaks, teasers, hands-ons, and previews since then, but at long last, the legend of the N8 has become a purchasable commodity. All the early specs have survived, including the 3.5-inch AMOLED display, but the key question today, as it was at the beginning, relates to that all-new

software within: does Symbian^3 succeed in elevating Nokia's touchscreen experience or does it drag down an otherwise stellar combination of high-end parts? For that verdict and much, much more, join us after the break.Let's not waste any time equivocating here, it'll be quite obvious to anyone with a set of eyeballs that Nokia has fashioned one of the most ruggedly handsome devices of recent memory with the N8. In a sea of identikit touchscreen-dominated phones, the N8 manages to stand out, thanks to its (mostly) aluminum

construction, wide palette of color options, and atypical mixture of curvy sides and sternly straight lines at the top and bottom. The biggest distinguishing feature will of course be the protruding camera compartment on the back, which houses the world's largest image sensor yet seen in a smartphone, a Carl Zeiss lens, a Xenon flash, and a loudspeaker. We've got no complaints to proffer about the apparent durability of the handset itself and that extends to this extra bump on the back, but there are a couple of notes worth making. Firstly, the N8 will spend most of its horizontal time resting on the camera section's bottom edge. In our time with the phone we noticed it generated an unpleasant screeching sound anytime we slid it across a flat surface and we imagine over the long run that portion of the body will suffer plenty of wear and tear. Additionally, we found ourselves inevitably fingering the lens every time we held the handset up to make a call. That was just the most natural place for our forefinger to go, which is hardly a deal breaker in itself, but something to bear in mind if you care to keep your imaging equipment immaculately clean (and if you read our camera section below, you probably will care).

We'd be remiss not to also note that the menu key at the N8's bottom left corner feels rather improperly placed. Nokia loves to tout its phones as being designed for single-handed operation, but reaching down to hit the menu key and access its multivariate functions was something of a treacherous activity. We nearly dropped this precious drop of aluminum a couple of times while trying to maneuver our digits over that button, and eventually settled on using a second hand when we needed it.

How to Keep Your Heart Healthy

How to Keep Your Heart Healthy
By Michelle Meadows (staff writer for FDA Consumer)
Sixty-two-year-old Jack Andre says having a heart attack in March 2003 was like getting hit in the head with a baseball bat. "It brought a lot of things to my attention that I never thought about before," he says. He was overweight, didn't exercise, and often ate high-fat foods. But he never connected his lifestyle to his heart.
"Six months before the heart attack, my doctor told me I had borderline high cholesterol and high blood pressure," says Andre, of Rockville, Md. "But I didn't think much of it."
That all changed after he experienced heart attack symptoms--extreme fatigue, dizziness, and back pain. Tests revealed that Andre had three clogged coronary arteries. "Now I walk every day at lunch, eat smaller portions, and I'm a food label reader," he says.
Bonnie Brown, 50, of Baltimore, says she also didn't change her life until she had a heart attack in 1997. "I used to smoke, ate cold-cut subs for breakfast, and had lots of fried foods, all the time, any time," Brown says. But her heart attack--which she initially mistook for a bad case of indigestion--led her to give up cigarettes, improve her diet, and sign up for weekly water aerobics and line dancing classes.
"There's nothing that motivates people like having a heart attack or bypass surgery," says Christopher Cates, M.D., director of vascular intervention at the Emory Heart Center in Atlanta. "I've found that people think that heart disease always happens to someone else, until it happens to them." Experts say that until Americans change their way of thinking from one of damage control to one of proactive prevention, heart disease will remain the No.1 killer of men and women in the United States.
"In many ways, I think we've become insulated by high-tech care," Cates says. "As physicians, we are partners in the health care of our patients, which means we need to educate them about their risk factors for heart disease. And they need to have some sense of ownership about what they can control. They can't simply look to their doctors or to the FDA or to Medicine, and say, 'Cure me, but I'm going to eat fatty foods, smoke, and be sedentary.'"

One of the reasons that some people may shrug off the possibility of developing heart disease is that it's a gradual, lifelong process that people can't see or feel. About the size of a fist, the heart muscle relies on oxygen and nutrients to continually pump blood through the circulatory system. In coronary artery disease, the most common type of heart disease, plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, the vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle. As the walls of the arteries get clogged, the space through which blood flows narrows. This decreases or cuts off the supply of oxygen and nutrients, which can result in chest pain or a heart attack. Damage can result when the supply is cut off for more than a few minutes. It's called a heart attack when prolonged chest pain or symptoms (20 minutes or more) are associated with permanent damage to the heart muscle.
Every year, more than 1 million people have heart attacks, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). About 13 million Americans have coronary heart disease, and about half a million people die from it each year.

GPU Computing Comes of Age: Is 2011 Nvidia's Year? 


GPU Computing Comes of Age: Is 2011 Nvidia's Year? 

GPU Computing at the CoreThe primary benefit to GPU computing is that it is massively parallel and for the right kind of code it is like moving from a 4 cylinder engine to a jet. The performance benefits are massive. The kind of code that lends itself to this trends toward multi-media and analysis. 
Strangely enough, it is actually more similar to how our brains work to interpret what we see and hear that makes it fascinating to see develop. Most existing code is written to perform tasks linearly however which better suites a CPU and much of this will never work well on a GPU due to the difference in architectures but where it works it works blazingly fast. 
The Software Edge
They key problem that had to be overcome was that even if GPUs were capable of doing this work someone had to develop the tools to make it possible.  NVIDIA's Cuda and OpenCL efforts were funded to solve this problem and it is highly unusual for a hardware firm to develop a significant software practice.
The Results
The end result is impressive we were shown advancements in imaging from a variety of CAD vendors that showcased how designs could be relatively easily used to create photorealistic images in a fraction of the time it used to take. 

These images could range from building, car, interior or things like the world of Pandora in Avatar which could only exist in the imagination before.  
Some of the medical imaging work that Siemens showcased was amazing. They are now apparently, using NVIDIA's technology, able to model a beating heart to determine internal failures like blood leakage. They can also compile real time from ultra-scans the highly detailed image of a baby's face to determine of there are any birth defects early on or just show the parents what their child looks like.   

Wrapping Up
This feels like Nvidia's year, perhaps their decade, even their problems with Intel seem to be getting resolved as this week Intel submitted a draft of their consent decree which should help limit what Intel can do against them and benefit both Nvidia and AMD. In the end, I think, we are seeing a solid movement in Nvidia's direction and this could just be their time to shine.

A visual journey into Japan's sex industry

A visual journey into Japan's sex industry
Sex is everywhere in Japan, but most tourists don't see it. They walk past the men handing out tissue packages at train stations, and assume the neon signs in entertainment districts point to karaoke bars. But many indicate hostess clubs, oral-sex parlours, and “soapland” bathhouses. Those tissue packets advertise to men and are also used to recruit female workers.
According to Pink Box: Inside Japan's Sex Clubs (Harry N. Abrams, $45), Japan's commercial sexual-services industry accounted for nearly US$20 billion in 2001. And although these clubs are a cultural phenomenon, they're strictly off-limits to foreigners.
Pink Box captures their inner sanctums in a photographic collection. It's not a coffee-table book you'd want your mother to see. Photographer Joan Sinclair visited over 90 clubs and returned with images of women working in nude theatres, peeping rooms, “touch pubs”, and “image clubs” with elaborately decorated fantasy theme rooms. Examples include a train replica where men pay to grope women posing as schoolgirls, and a department-store elevator, equipped with a mirrored floor and a uniformed, pantyless attendant. In “fashion clubs”, women provide services in true-to-life costumes—such as chain-restaurant uniforms, nurse outfits, officewear—or even dressed as anime characters.
On the line from San Francisco, Sinclair tells the Straight that she first learned of the clubs 10 years ago when she was working as an English teacher in Japan. She returned three years ago to photograph them. “ Pink Box is about the kitsch, the humour, and the over-the-top–ness of the domestic sex industry in Japan,” Sinclair says. “There is a sense of humour about it that's uniquely Japanese,” she says, adding that manga and Japanese graphic art are partly responsible. “There's something in Japanese society…that makes these archetypes of everyday life the heart of the role-playing fantasy.”
How did Sinclair gain access to these clubs? She speaks Japanese, and got to know the managers, workers, and customers. Once given permission to shoot, she worked with those who volunteered to be photographed for the book. “It's not an underground industry,” she explains. “They advertise, they all have Web sites…they have fan sites for the girls.”
Pink Box doesn't touch on the darker side of the industry: gritty brothels with Southeast Asian sex workers. Sinclair acknowledges that these exist but felt that was a different story to tell. She made the decision to shoot Japanese-style clubs that employ Japanese women. (Prostitution is legally a grey area in Japan, but Sinclair says one criterion they stick to is that they rarely risk employing those under 18.)
The book quotes customers and workers on their motivations. “It would take a year to earn the money for my [Louis Vuitton] purse if I was working in an office,” says a worker.
“All I ask is that viewers not assume that this profession is inherently degrading. It's more complicated than that,” Sinclair writes in the book. “These women are not powerless, they are not on drugs. They have made conscious choices; they have their own dignity.
“The clubs are a reflection of modern Japan, a literate society where the rules are written out, prices are not negotiable, and fantasies are predetermined, prescripted, and prepaid.” Sex and the city indeed.

The China Bubble

The China Bubble
Gady Epstein, 12.10.09, 06:00 PM EST
Forbes Magazine dated December 28, 2009
China's economy is humming along in high gear, thanks to a fast-growing pile of dicey debt. Such booms tend to end badly
China's economy is the envy of the world. As developed nations struggle to eke out a bit of growth and to get unemployment rates out of double digits, Chinese output gallops ahead at an 8% annual rate. This $4.7 trillion economy, it seems, is the world's dynamo and the prototype for the future.
Take a close look, however, and you may come away thinking China resembles nothing so much as Japan shortly before its stock and property markets melted down two decades ago. A speculative frenzy of borrowing and bidding up is at work. If and when prices crash, there will be hell to pay.
Signs of the times: government bureaucracies funding themselves by foisting debt on state-owned business enterprises; local governments raising capital by selling land at sky-high prices to corporations they own; and a People's Bank of China lavishing liquidity on the entire system in a way that makes Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke look downright stingy.
"It's a Ponzi scheme whose head is the central bank, and it can print money," says Victor Shih, a China expert at Northwestern University.
The U.S. government's $7.2 trillion in debt at the end of June represented 50% of gross domestic product. The Chinese government's officially disclosed $840 billion in public debt represents less than 20% of GDP. But the People's Bank of China and the treasury are also on the hook for potentially $1.5 trillion in off-balance-sheet debt owed by cities and provinces and entities they control. They're also implicitly obliged to backstop $1 trillion, both in loans that "policy banks" were directed to issue, even when they made no economic sense, and nonperforming loans that the government removed from the books of state-owned commercial banks over the past decade.
Add it up and the national government is responsible for debt equal to over 70% of 2009 GDP. That doesn't count any loans generated this year that might go sour amid a 30% increase in debt balances nationwide. (The U.S. government, in addition to its direct debt equal to 50% of GDP, is responsible for cosigning of mortgage borrowers' obligations equal to another 18% of GDP.)

What is the social analysis?

Social analysis at the World Bank involves examining the socio-cultural, institutional, historical and political context within which the World Bank works. Through social analysis the World Bank assesses whether its programs and operations are likely to meet their social objectives and identifies measures that will ensure that these objectives are achieved. Social analysis also helps to assess the likely outcomes, impacts and social risks that need to be considered in the design of projects and programs, including the views and priorities of relevant stakeholders.  
Complementing economic analysis, social analysis assesses the likelihood that the World Bank’s operations will be socially sustainable and that its social benefits and economic opportunities will be widely shared. It identifies opportunities and constraints arising from the country's socio-cultural, institutional, historical and political context to prepare strategies and programs that contribute to the country's development objectives as well as to the Bank's core mission of poverty reduction. In particular, social analysis helps to incorporate the goals of equity and social inclusion into the World Bank’s projects and programs.
At the World Bank, social analysis is undertaken on multiple levels.  The World Bank conducts social analysis on the country-level, as inputs into the Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) process or other key policy documents, on the sector-level to support policy reforms and sector strategies, and on the project-level, as an integral part of project appraisal to judge whether the project's social development outcomes have been clearly identified and Bank support is justified. Additionally, a social assessment may be undertaken by the Borrower for the purpose of obtaining the views of stakeholders in order to improve the design of the project and establishing a participatory process for implementation and monitoring

what is next gen portable psp2


As expected, Sony has outed its “PSP2“, currently codenamed the Sony next generation portable entertainment system or NGP, and expected to go on sale at the end of 2011. Based on a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor and Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX543MP4+ GPU, the NGP has a 5-inch OLED 960 x 544 multitouch-capable touchscreen on the front and a multitouch pad on the back, for what Sony describes as “touch, grab, trace, push and pull” gestures in gameplay.
There are also two cameras, one front and one rear, and a suite of sensors including six-axis motion-sensing (pairing gyroscope and accelerometer), a three-axis digital compass, GPS and WiFi. There’s also 3G, WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with support for A2DP stereo headphones. Sony is now using a flash memory card to store games, but there’ll also be access to the new PlayStation Suite, also announced today, which offers titles for the NGP and for Android smartphones.
As with the 3DS‘ StreetPass feature, the Sony NGP will use a new service called Near, part of the PlayStation Network, to flag up gamers in the vicinity and show what they’re playing now or having been playing recently. There’ll also be wireless multiplayer support. Each NGP game will LiveArea access, with a log of activity and other information.
The whole thing measures in at 182.0 x 18.6 x 83.5 mm and has dual analog sticks, the usual directional buttons, action buttons and shoulder controls. No word on pricing; that won’t be revealed until closer to launch at the end of the year

Sony posts $852m profit: PS3, PC sales up

Sony posts $852m profit: PS3, PC sales up
Sony got itself back in black with a $293m profit last quarter courtesy of improved PS3 and Bravia sales, and the good times continue: the company just posted a second-quarter profit of ¥68.7b ($852m). The Networked Products and Services division that encompasses PlayStation and VAIO was Sony's strongest performer, with revenue going up five percent to ¥369b ($4.6b) on top of 3.5m PS3 sales (a slight increase), a 40 percent increase in PS3 software sales to 35m units, and "significant hardware cost reductions." PC sales were up to 2.3m units from 1.4m units last year, and Bravia and digital camera sales also increased, to 4.9m and 6.2m units, respectively. Now for the bad news: PSP sales continued their precipitous decline, down 50 percent to 1.5m from 3.0m last year. By way of comparison, that's the same number of PS2s Sony shipped this past quarter -- maybe it's time to break out a totally new PlayStation Phone, eh, Sony?

Business interests of shareholders Game Analysis

Business interests of shareholders Game Analysis
Abstract Based on the pioneering team of fissile survey, venture shareholders game analysis, put forward the process of entrepreneurial teams in the interests of the game in the success of the disadvantaged shareholders observe a weak concept and support this concept from the inside out under the "number two" business practices.
     Keywords: Entrepreneurial Management Game abide by the interests of the weak success
    
Entrepreneurial team of meeting and separation, has always been entrepreneurs to start a company but were concerned by regret helpless, it seems that we can only lament that a "total pain easy to difficult with the willing" and the immortal line only. However, in the numerous cases of people facing the trance, in the further analysis of prescriptions after the show - even though everyone would like to have such a prescription? I open no prescription, but would like to start by the fundamental interests of the team game analysis, and set realistic business in the process of entrepreneurial teams in the interests of the game in the defensive weak point of view of success and the support of this concept from the inside out under the "two handle "business practices. This view is also a writer for many years entrepreneurial Experience bit by bit, understanding.
Entrepreneurial team behind the parting in the end, what deep-seated reason for this? In June 2004 more than 200 in-service training courses in Business Administration students organized an "entrepreneurial management survey" activities, which designed the question: Would you please list the current stage of China's three Sanhuo entrepreneurial team, the main reason? Statistical analysis, because the top three teams conflicts (26%), the distribution of benefits (15%), effective communication (12%). The team behind the more or less contradictory elements of interest in, if these two together accounted for 41%, while rival defeated by only 1%. Reading these figures, we naturally think of the "A Fanggong" inside the line: eliminate those six countries, six countries also, non-Qin also. Qin clan who, Qin also, non-world also.
In the entrepreneurial team, one of the most direct interest in the form of entrepreneurial team members down the law in the form of confirmation. In fact in our country at this stage, there is a part of the shareholders in a latent form of the rules of the form or forms to display the hidden, or that it could not use words to describe. Whether the former or the latter is clearly a means to express a hidden way, in the business enterprise management, decision-making, operations, distribution of benefits and so on will have to be strong, the weak performance. Modern Economics in the analysis of Economic issues, people assume that economic man is a rational economic man, human behavior is rational self-interest. Therefore, the entrepreneur team, the allocation of interests in the business have different motives, performance.
Suppose a company's existing one million yuan of profits available for distribution, enterprise there are two strong shareholders, the shareholders are A, minority shareholders B. A company's shareholders, accounting for 60% of the shares of companies accounted for 40% of the shareholders of B shares. If the parties to share in accordance with the distribution of company shares is a very good calculation, A distribution of 600,000, B allocate 40 million (see attached map). A shareholder in the daily operations management of the company's financial and market, when the company has cash flow problems when the shareholders of A are often able to provide cash support for the company, shareholder B of Technology shares, and is responsible for corporate R & D and Engineering services work.
If a dominant shareholder A would like to keep all the profits that can be allocated 1 million, no matter what the minority shareholders with the distribution program, will be there may be profit-distributing the number of "cost overruns" phenomenon. Under such circumstances, the strong shareholder A will appear exclusive distribution scheme of war or resistance. Strong shareholder would think, how to gain much more through rule-making also can stimulate the B shareholders do? From the shareholders point of view of B, if we adopt the distribution of a program benefits the largest shareholder of A might not mind receiving, while the Financial Management by the shareholders of A, the last possible situation is that shareholders of A agreed, but the shareholders can not get B distribution of profits in cash, the allocation of the program to become a distribution of profits on paper "specimens." "Time is money," one time, to shareholders B is a huge challenge. If the shareholders of B can be allocated to the cash last the longer effects of B shareholders will be greater, the shareholders of B will become increasingly vulnerable. The uncertainty from the business concerned, the longer the uncertainty of profits available for distribution increased. In real life, distribution of profits may be shrinking very subtle way, different situations have different manifestations at different speeds, it is worth entrepreneurs carefully analyzed. In a comprehensive analysis of a variety of possible circumstances, the shareholders of B occur several times in the company thought of the cash flow difficulties, operational difficulties arise in the company when the shareholders of the company A cash support, so the need for incentives to shareholders A in exchange for the distribution of speed, effect, reflecting the value of time. Shareholders of B in the program is to communicate with the distribution plan proposed by two, to shareholders of A to incentives. A start to think about shareholders, but also have an exclusive right of shareholders to consider B's incentives. So both sides will accept the reality of the allocation of program 2, A shareholder of the allocation of 800,000, 200,000 shareholders, the allocation of B. Weak shareholder B, the program can be characterized by an epidemic was not as good as the words that are too many

Epic Games: Sony's Next Gen Portable is a "Pretty Huge Deal"

Epic Games: Sony's Next Gen Portable is a "Pretty Huge Deal"
Launched earlier this week, Sony's hefty NGP already has quite a number of game developer fans. Among them is the company behind Gears of War, Unreal Tournament and Bulletstorm.
"I've played our demo on it and I've played Dungeon Defenders on it," said Epic vice president Mark Rein. "I think Sony has done a great job with this device and that it caters to many gaming experiences."
Unreal Engine, the popular game engine found in titles as diverse as the iPhone's Infinity Blade, Xbox 360's Gears of War, has already been customized to work on Sony's new platform, Rein said. Adding that the NGP is "in the same class as the Playstation 3."
"We're already impressed with what we're able to do with it today and we're really just getting started," he said
Rein declined to say what games his company may be working on for the device, but pointed to how quickly the cross-platform tactical RPG Dungeon Defenders was able to make the jump to the NGP.
"At Sony's PlayStation event we showed Trendy Entertainment's Dungeon Defenders game on NGP," he said. "It was a great demonstration of Unreal Engine 3's fantastic cross-platform capabilities.
Trendy had never even seen NGP prior to coming to our office and in under a week they delivered the fully playable version of the game we showed on stage... If we had given them another week they would have shown us NGP playing against PS3 as well – they already plan to deliver that functionality when they ship the game."
Rein calls the NGP a "pretty huge deal" for not just Playstation fans, but gamers.
"A truly portable high-end gaming experience just seems so awesome to me," he said. "I've said for a while that triple-A isn't going away, it's going everywhere. The idea of a portable device that delivers the kinds of high-performance dual-analog stick experiences I can get on a console definitely appeals to me as a gamer and the NGP can do that and so much more."

Bubble economy - Definition

Bubble economy - Definition
An economic bubble occurs when speculation in a commodity causes the price to increase, thus producing more speculation. The price of the good then reaches absurd levels and the bubble is usually followed by a sudden drop in prices, known as a crash.
Economic bubbles are generally considered to be bad things because they cause misallocation of resources into non-productive uses. In addition, the crash which follows an economic bubble can destroy a large amount of wealth and cause continuing economic malaise as was the case of the Great Depression in the 1930s and Japan in the 1990s.
Another important aspect of economic bubbles is their impact on spending habits. Participants in a market with goods that are over valued e.g. the housing market in the United Kingdom, Spain spend more because they "feel" richer.
When the bubble occurs in equity markets, it is called a stock market bubble. It is usually very difficult to differentiate a stock market bubble from an ordinary bull market until it is over.
The cause of bubbles in some dispute. Some regard bubbles as related to inflation and thus believe that the causes of inflation are also the causes of bubbles. Others take the view that there is a "fundamental value" to an asset, and that bubbles represent a rise over that fundamental value, which must "inevitably" return to that fundamental value. Finally there are xaotic theories of bubbles which assert that bubbles come from particular "critical" states in the market based on the communication of economic actors

Fears China's economic bubble may burst

Fears China's economic bubble may burst
By China correspondent Stephen McDonell
China's prosperity has huge future impacts for Australia's economy, but there are now fears the economic giant has developed a bubble economy.
Chinese growth rates of 8 per cent and up in recent years have powered Australia's resources export boom.
But more and more economists are worrying that China has developed a bubble economy and the bubble could soon burst.
One of the key indicators they are looking at is the real estate market.
From the roof of the Shanghai skyscraper known as the Bottle Opener, the view is something to behold.
We walked up through a series of trapdoors and ladders and emerged on top of the highest building on the Chinese mainland.
From here when you look out over China's sprawling financial capital it would seem that this country's building boom could go on forever and drag the Australian economy along with it.
But there are fears that property speculators chasing quick profits are creating a real estate bubble.
On the top of the Bottle Opener we meet Michiho Kishi from the Japanese company that built the tower, Mori Building.
Mr Kishi believes the residential sector is partially a bubble economy.
"The current situation I can say is partially a bubble, partially there's a real economy," he said.
"Especially the residential market seems part of the bubble economy. Because now real demand for the people living in Shanghai. They can't afford their residence to buy - especially younger people, the people to be married. It's getting difficult for them to find houses for them to live."
The Chinese Government is also worried about this and is now capping prices and making some building loans harder to get.
But this theory that China is facing serious overcapacity problems goes beyond real estate.
Professor Michael Pettis lectures at Peking University:
Professor Pettis says China's understandable efforts to try and shield itself from the world economic crisis with a massive stimulus package may end up making its situation worse.
"Many people believe that we've reached a point in China where we're producing stuff or investing in infrastructure that is not economically viable; that in the future we're still not going to be able to use this stuff and we're still going to have to pay for it," he said.
"And when that happens that will exchange future growth in exchange for the growth that we got today.
"What we've seen in the last year has been a very robust reaction to the contraction in the export sector and to the threat of rising unemployment."
Professor Pettis says China entered the global financial crisis with an investment rate that was probably much too high.
"The economy was way too heavily dependent on investment. And because investment rates were so high there's a very, very strong reason to believe that a lot of this investment is being wasted," he said.
"So in reacting to the crisis they increased the level of investment and they made it much, much easier for investment projects to raise capital.
"Almost certainly one of the consequences will be that even more of this investment is going to be wasted. A lot of money is going into projects that have a negative economic value.
"All that money has to be repaid at some point in the future. So what you're doing is you're taking future growth and moving it forward. And you may be doing it very inefficiently."
When talking specifically about fears of a real estate bubble bursting there is probably nowhere that indicates it that more vividly than Kangbashi in Inner Mongolia.
This brand new city has been constructed in the desert because in China it has been ridiculed as a "ghost city".
There are rows and rows of new apartment blocks with nobody living in them. The odd car drives down the road. And there are no problems getting a seat at one of the few restaurants that has bothered to open up.
They are building a huge new theatre, museum and library but with barely a soul available to use them.
This may yet prove to be a bold piece of future planning which is yet to reach fruition as China once again confounds the critics.
Then again it might turn out to be the massive white elephant that marked the turning point for the once unstoppable Chinese economy
