Dividing the spoils - pensions, privatization, and reform in Russia's transition
The authors present a political economy model in which policy is the outcome of an interaction between three actors: government (G), managers and workers (W), and transfer recipients (P). The government's objective is to stay in power, for which it needs the support of either P or W. It can choose slow privatization with little asset stripping and significant taxation, thus protecting the fiscal base out of which it pays pensioners relatively well (as in Poland). Or it can give away assets and tax exemptions to managers and workers, who then bankroll it and deliver the vote, but it thereby loses taxes and pays little to pensioners (as in Russia). The authors apply this model to Russia for the period 1992-96. An empirical analysis of electoral behavior in the 1996 presidential election shows that the likelihood of someone voting for Yeltsin did not depend on that person's socioeconomic group per se. Those who tended to vote for Yeltsin were richer, younger, and better educated and had more favorable expectations for the future. Entrepreneurs, who had more of these characteristics, tended to vote for Yeltsin as a result, while pensioners, who had almost none, tended to vote against Yeltsin. Unlike Poland, Russia failed to create pluralist politics in the early years of the transition, so no effective counterbalance emerged to offset managerial rent-seeking and the state was easily captured by well-organized industrial interests. The political elite were reelected because industrial interests bankrolled their campaign in return for promises that government largesse would continue to flow. Russia shows vividly how political economy affects policymaking, because of how openly and flagrantly government granted favors in return for electoral support. Bur special interests, venal bureaucrats, and the exchange of favors tend to be the rule, not the exemption, elsewhere as well.

BeschreibungThis important book brings together three long-lost texts, the earliest known writings on Zen. "Records of the Teachers and Students of the Lanka" presents a complete set of biographies of the Zen patriarchs. "Bodhidharma's Treatise on Contemplating Mind-- "written in the form of a dialogue between the first Zen patriarch, Bodhidharma, and his successor, Huke--views all the various practices of the Bodhisattva path from the perspective of cultivating mind. "Treatise on Sudden Enlightenment "presents a series of questions and answers illuminating the true nature of "sudden enlightenment" as pure, undifferentiated mind. Dating from the first half of the eighth century, and only recently rediscovered in Tun Huang, China, these books offer the best information currently available on the early meditation techniques of the "northern school" of Zen Buddhism.

Gentle exfoliation
I have normal skin and I exfoliate once a week. It gives my skin a nice buff, leaving it feeling fresh and looking radiant. Has a very mild, clean fragrance. I love this brand as it has no nasty ingredients too. This gets 4 stars as the packaging is not that great. The lid is a bit hard to open and a lot of product comes out if you're not careful.

Eugene Chadbourne and Kevin Blechdom (aka Kristin Erickson) performing songs from their 2007 Victo performance, warped banjo rock instrumentals and songs.
Chadbourne / Blechdom
The Chaddom Blechbourne Experience
Label: Victo
Released in: Canada
"Chadbourne, who first emerged as part of New York's Downtown Music scene, has not attained the degree of success that early collaborator John Zorn has. Still, he's shaped a career that's perhaps even more stylistically unbound than Zorn's, with a personal discography that's well in excess of one hundred recordings, ranging from the warped rockabilly of the group Shockabilly to the more jazz-centric (but no less eccentric) The Hills Have Jazz (Boxholder, 2005).
Kevin Blechdom is the onstage persona of Kristin Erickson, who was one-half of Blectum from Blechdom and became known for wild electronic experimentation and imaginative interpretation.
All the more reason that the pairing of Chadbourne and Blechdom�resulting from a one-week residence in France where it was dubbed The Chaddom-Blechbourne Experience, and a couple of performances thereafter (this being their North American debut)�should be so odd; or, perhaps, not odd at all. Chadbourne has developed a reputation as outspoken political songsmith and virtuoso instrumentalist; here he restricted himself to banjo, while the equally trenchant Blechdom split her time between piano and an electric banjo. The set had a exhilarating feeling of spontaneity, as Chadbourne largely called the tunes, but the two managed to find weird and wonderful ways to morph from one song to the next and, in one case, combine a number of them together in ways nobody could have imagined.
Few could even conceive reinventing Pink Floyd's psychedelic Syd Barret-era "Astronomy Domine" for two banjos, but in Chadbourne and Blechdom's hands it worked. As did a number of archival roots tunes and the biting satire of ther original material�political and otherwise. Equally there was a slapstick element of absurdity when Chadbourne began taking down the balloons floating above the lush plant life onstage and inhaling the helium to lend his vocal range a significant boost in the high end. Of course it would have been even better had the balloons not kept breaking on him before he could inhale the gas.
Beneath the comedy, however, were some simple facts. First, Chadbourne proved a remarkably talented banjoist who adopted new tunings on the fly throughout the set (not to mention handling broken strings with ease), and played with a loose inventiveness that, despite first appearances, made the set fit perfectly within the concept of Musique Actuelle. Blechdom took a more supportive role on banjo, but turned out to be a surprisingly good pianist. And both had strong voices capable of clean power and gritty raunch. All of which made for a rollicking good time well-received by the capacity crowd."-John Kelman, All About Jazz

- - Where do you get the cool rocks from? (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/freshwater-tropical-fish/where-do-you-get-cool-rocks-45438/)
Where do you get the cool rocks from?
I have noticed that in many of your aquariums, you have rocks stacked up into rock castles, of sorts. I am wondering where you get the rocks from? How many of you get them on beaches and just boil them? I have not seen any in the fish stores around here but would love to add some to my tank. I especially like the medium to large flat rocks. I would like to be able to lay them about to create some hiding spots for my pleco when I get one. Thanks for you help.
As for flat rocks I think alot of what you are seeing is slate, I read here you should be able to get some at a garden store, just make sure its untreated so it doesn't leach anything bad.
I get mine from landscape supply stores...you know, where they sell gravel and decorative rock in bulk. Much, much cheaper than the LFS. You can usually find lots of variety from flat slate to round river rock to granite boulders.
Thanks, I will look into that. I think they look really nice and I think it seems like a good hiding spot for the bottom feeders.
I do the same. I have lots of red shale I got from the landscaping store for a couple bucks for 50+ lbs of it. I still have some out in the yard I don't even have the space for, yet!

Project success requires clear communication among managers, team members, and other stakeholders.
If it is not documented, it doesn't exist. As long as information is retained in someone's head, it is vulnerable to loss.
Louis Fried
We believe that listening to all of our stakeholders hold the key in accomplishing any project without failure.
Planning is always the critical phase in the success of the project and we understand that it holds a key foundation for any project.
I always believe it's better to have 30 imaginations working on a project, rather than one imagination telling the other 29 what to do.
Trevor Nunn
Collaboration is important in the modern World as we are more connected together more than ever.
We put a strong emphasis and take this to our advantage.
At Systemethod, work is always done with utmost importance and we will do our very best to please our customers.
We believe that our customer's feedback plays a significant role in determining the success of the project.
You can't control people. You must understand them. You have to know where they're coming from, their beliefs and values, what turns them off, what they're against.

The aeroplanes are the twice and sometimes three times weekly flights Bryan and his colleagues have been taking to and from their company HQ in Calgary, Canada, to London to do battle by fax, telephone and personal appearance in the campaign to gain control of a piece of the British oil exploration and production sector.
But it is numbers - about the value of oil still in the ground, of debt levels and of exploration prospects - which have provided the ammunition in the long-running and frequently confusing bid battle between the two companies. And frankly JP is sick of them. "I will be so glad when I can get back to talking about what we're going to do as a company in the future," he says.
Despite the acrimony of the bid, and the distinct possibility until a few days ago that his company could walk away clutching only a sheaf of advisers' bills, JP seems relaxed and confident. The silver hair is in place, the tie verges on the loud (but, interestingly, not the arresting car-motif model he wore when Gulf opened hostilities on 18 December last year), and the thick braces are in place.
"We will still be happy to walk away from this bid with nothing, because we don't want to overpay for Clyde," he says. "If we offered the kind of price they were demanding, it would be a hollow victory." He believes there are plenty of other fish in the sea.
Until Gulf finally raised its bid to 120p a share last Tuesday, Clyde had had the better of the often bitter exchanges between the two camps. Clyde's advisers painted their opponents, with some degree of success, as shark-like foreign opportunists who were using the different valuation methods that are applied to oil exploration stocks on each side of the Atlantic (the North American model, which works on a cash-flow multiple, is more generous to a company's market value) to pull off a nice bit of transatlantic arbitrage which significantly undervalued the company.
The argument developed some holes over time, particularly in light of the aggressive valuations attached by Clyde to its Australian and Dutch North Sea assets and the fact that a number of Clyde directors sold shares at 80p just days before the Gulf bid.
Perhaps because of the volume of mudslinging, the outcome of the bid remains on a knife edge as both companies enter the final nine days of the offer period under the timetable set down by the Takeover Panel. Neither side will have much time for seeing families, and both chairmen and their cohorts will be getting to know the insides of meeting rooms throughout the City as they do the rounds of the institutions which hold around 70 per cent of Clyde's equity.
In light of the raised bid, these institutions face the dilemma of whether to take the money and run or hold out for the promises of value generation and share price growth offered by Malcolm Gourlay and Roy Franklin, chairman and chief executive respectively of Clyde. The fund managers will have plenty of opportunity to take the measure of both sets of managers over the next few days.
Iain Reid, the influential NatWest Securities oil analyst, thinks it will be a squeaker, "but we believe 120p will be just enough to win the day." He also warned, in a research note published just before the bid was increased, that Clyde's share price would inevitably fall away if the bid failed. Most analysts now discount the prospect of a "white knight" emerging to sweep shareholders off their feet with a much higher offer.
There is a part of JP Bryan that really enjoys the cut and thrust of deal-making, the lifeblood of the oil exploration business. He was born in Freeport, a deeply Texan seaside town on the Gulf of Mexico coast about 40 minutes south of Houston, the undisputed capital of Texas oil country. Nowadays the town is a faded beauty, like most seaside towns, and with his two children grown up and him spending much of his time in Calgary, he says he does not get back there much.
JP's 30-odd years in the oil industry, first as an engineer in Houston, then as a manager, and finally as an entrepreneur-financier who set up companies to buy and manage oil assets on behalf of managed fund clients, have given him a taste for the deal. At one point, two years ago, he thought he would quit, having put two companies, Nuevo and Bellwether, on the New York Stock Exchange and made a good pile in stock options.
"But then Gulf Canada came along. It was not in very good shape. It had been part of Chevron after they took over Gulf [the US oil giant] and they spun off the Canadian arm. Then it was bought by the Reichmann brothers, and ended up in the hands of the banks when the Reichmanns' Canary Wharf development went bust. Between them they collectively proved that 26 banks could not run an oil and gas outfit."
Bryan and some investors raised $300m (pounds 185m) in January 1995 and bought 25 per cent of the company, gaining control of the board. Since then, he claims, the culture has changed, the staff has shrunk and the business has been rebuilt. And he has grown used to living in Canada. "It's been a little tough on the old lifestyle. But I meet my wife at her place in Colorado Springs when I get time off."
Lest this become too fluffy a picture of the Texas oilman exiled in Canada, it ought to be noted that JP's company has a fairly aggressive profile: debt levels of over C$2bn (pounds 900m), and a track record of walking away from as many hostile bids as it has won. His opponents in this bid, Gourlay and Franklin, have called the Gulf bid "transparently opportunistic", and contend that the only reason it is being made is because there is a chance to pick up oil assets relatively cheaply and then sell them. They also argue that Gulf's high leverage does not give it the leeway to pay a fair price.
"Yes, this is opportunism, I agree," says Bryan. "But it's the kind of opportunism that says in this case we will not overpay for this company."
So what happens if JP and his international operations director, Dick Auchinleck, gain control of Clyde? The assets will be reviewed, and they will probably end up keeping Clyde's interests in the Dutch North Sea, Australia and Indonesia. The rest of the assets, including Clyde's share of the Wytch Farm onshore production site in Dorset, might be for sale, to pay down some of the debt incurred with the bid. They also promise to relocate the headquarters from Ledbury in Herefordshire, "which is too damn far away from anywhere if you ask me", says Bryan.
Inevitably, there would be staff cuts. In the current climate of acrimony it would be hard to imagine Gourlay and Franklin working for Gulf. But having said that, both Bryan and Auchinleck say they are interested in Franklin's services. For his part, Franklin is equivocal: "I would never say never," he says. "In many respects our two companies have a lot in common."
What Gulf plans for Clyde if it succeeds will be of purely academic interest to the institutional shareholders, as the bid is a cash offer and no one will be left holding Gulf stock afterwards. It may be of more interest to Clyde employees as they contemplate their job prospects. But it will also be an interesting case study for students of bid strategy. Neither side has done anything drastically wrong, and if nothing else the flurry of statistics has caused an epidemic of migraines to break out among financial journalists covering the story.
The outcome, however, may set a precedent for bids: will the gamble of not paying the City's asking price (135p at the last count) work? Or will Clyde's robust defence of its record, and equal gamble of not seeking a white knight, prove wise? JP has everything to play for.

E-MIND: Electromagnetic Multicode Integrated Design Framework for EMI/EMC risk analysis and mitigation
E-MIND provides an integrated environment for aeronautical EMC/EMI risk assessment and mitigation. It allows aircraft manufacturers to create electromagnetic (EM) models of aircraft designs, to assess the performance of different antennas and arrays, and to optimize the design of an aircraft through testing alternative antenna locations.
E-MIND includes a range of prediction tools covering the full operational spectrum of modern aircraft. These tools can be used to perform system level antenna performance evaluations, EMI assessment and reduction, and communication link quality verification. They have been extensively validated through IDS's experience providing aeronautical measurement and consultancy services over the last 25 years. Feedback from IDS's engineers is also used to continuously update and improve E-MIND's tools and working procedures with the aim of reducing the time and cost of an optimized avionic design solution.
E-MIND provides a full framework for project workflow and management, and provides design history and modification tracking as well as version control, allowing multiple users to work on the same project. It includes tools to interface with most common commercial CAD software as well as an advanced meshing tool to generate numerical models to be used by the EM solvers.
The E-MIND framework is based on a client-server software architecture: the client side where pre- and post-processing functions are performed, and the server side where electromagnetic analyses are run. This architecture allows several configurations to meet the user's needs:
- Single Client / Single Server (the simplest E-MIND installation, to manage small/medium size targets)
- Single Client / Multiple Servers (single user and large computational resources, to manage large size targets)
- Multiple Clients / Single Server (multiple users, to manage small/medium size targets)
- Multiple Clients / Multiple Servers (multiple users and large computational resources, to manage large size targets)
- Pattern distortion analysis; assessing the effects of an aircraft's body and attachments on an antenna's free space pattern;
- Full system EMC/EMI risk assessment and mitigation;
- Antenna and array modeling and siting optimization;
- Self-coupling, in-band and out of band inter antenna coupling;
- Link budget evaluation; assessing the effective performance of telecommunication transmitters and receivers including environment modeling (atmosphere attenuation, reflection from earth surface);
- Performance evaluations compliant with civil aviation authority and international standards e.g. ICAO, FAA, EUROCAE, RTCA;
- Airborne radome performance assessment (RTCA DO-213);
- High Intensity Radiated Fields (HIRF) analysis; ensuring that electronic systems are protected against the threat of malfunction or failure caused by HIRF environments;
- Indirect effects of lightning on aircraft electronic systems prediction;
- Harness modeling (3D arbitrary path), disturbance propagation and transient analysis on cables.
- Specific features for aeronautical applications;
- Multiple prediction tools including Method of Moments (MoM), Multi Level Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM), Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD), Physical Optics (PO) and Incremental Theory of Diffraction (ITD);
- A comprehensive meshing tool with user friendly healing and cleaning capabilities and advanced meshing functions;
- A dedicated CAD environment for array layout definition and excitation specification;
- Fast and detailed design modeling procedures for avionic antennas and arrays: Method of Moments for arbitrary shaped dieletrics, acceleration methods for full-wave analysis of large array (SIM, SFX, SM-AIM, SIM/SFX, SFX/SM-AIM), equivalent models (Huygens sources, spherical wave expansions) etc;
- Multi transmission line method for harness analysis;
- Power balance based procedure for statistical evaluation of field distribution in overmoded cavities such as avionic bays (radiated emission / radiated susceptibility analysis);
- Database of validated avionic antennas with the ability to import user defined antennas;
- Automatic computational management and workload balancing to optimize resource usage and to reduce computational time;
- Intuitive workflow.
