Lots of MBA students are looking for the opportunity to find work in other countries. The FT rankings are very useful because they show the schools with the best international mobility, the highest employment rates and the most international students. In this post, which I update annnually, I pick the 40 FT-ranked schools with the highest international mobility, remove the ten with the fewest international students [in 2018, I've removed 9 because two schools had equal scores], and then remove the ten remaining with the worst careers services ("placement", in earlier rankings).
The top 20 schools are below, sorted by their 2018 FT ranking from top to bottom. I've put a * after the name of schools that made the list in 2017 (extra stars if also in 2016 or 2015).
Rank in 2018
School name
2 Insead**
4 London Business School***
11 Iese Business School***
13 University of Cambridge: Judge***
18 National University of Singapore Business School*
20 Esade Business School***
22 Nanyang Business School*
29 SDA Bocconi*
33 University of Hong Kong
36 Alliance Manchester Business School*
41 Warwick Business School***
46 City University: Cass*
51 Imperial College Business School*
60 University of St Gallen***
61 Cranfield School of Management***
75 Edhec Business School*
94 WHU Beisheim
96 Essec Business School
99 EMLyon Business School
Seven of those are in the bottom half of the FT top 100, the same as in 2017, showing that good outcomes are possible even for students without stellar GMAT scores if they have good applications.
A notable factor, in 2018, has been the rise of schools in the far east: NUS and Nanyang re-entered (and HKU are entered) the top 20, while Insead, EDHEC and ESSEC all have full-time MBA tracks divided between France and Singapore.
PS The same approach is used to compare masters in management degrees at https://find-mba.com/board/general-forum/best-msc-mim-degrees-for-international-students-placement-52915

Dwyane Wade continues scorching run in 97-94 win over Indiana
Rest and treatment are a great combination for Miami's Dwyane Wade.
After three days off following last week's Indiana game, Wade has been on fire during the current homestand. He scored a season-high 32 points as the Heat beat the Pacers 97-94 at AmericanAirlines Arena tonight. He hit 15 of 25 shots and played 37 minutes.
Because teammate LeBron James was battling a sprained ankle, Wade knew the team would need his scoring against Indiana.
"When you're coming off a sprained ankle, early in the game it's a little tender before you get into it and the adrenaline starts pumping," he said. "So I wanted to be a little aggressive early on and it just lasted the entire game."
In his past three games, Wade is averaging 27.7 points and shooting 61.1 percent.
"When he's able to move, he's one of the best in our game," James said. "When the knee is bothering him and it takes a lot away from his game. When you see him get multiple dunks in games, multiple post-ups– he took 25 shots tonight, so he's feeling great.
"I don't remember the last time one of our players took 25 shots. For him to shoot 15 for 25 was huge. We need that. Obviously every game is different, but his aggressiveness tonight was an indication that his knee was feeling– not 100 percent, but it was good."

Buying produce can be tough because depending on where you live, finding fresh fruits and vegetables can be difficult and expensive. As a consumer, it is important that you know what produce is in season and what is grown locally. Buy fruits and vegetables when they are naturally plentiful for the best flavors and sale prices. Here are several other suggestions on how to save money buying produce.
Tip # 1 – Know which grocery stores near you sell the best produce for the best value. Supermarkets usually get fruits and vegetables delivered every day, so everything should be fresh and reasonably priced since delivered in bulk. Also, buy produce dry. Most grocery stores frequently spray water over the fruits and veggies to keep them fresh and clean, but when you are paying by weight the water will make your purchases about 5 percent heavier.
Tip # 2 – Produce is often cheaper (and better!) at local vegetable stands or farmers markets, than the grocery stores… except when they're on sale. Check your papers each week to make the best shopping choice.
Tip # 3 – Buy fruits and vegetables when in season, here's a brief list for the Southern U.S. (The list will vary depending on where you live.)
March – early June: Asparagus, Broccoli, Lettuce, Peas, Onions, Mushrooms, Strawberries
June: Apples, Broccoli, Cabbage, Peas, Peppers, Garlic, New Potatoes, Onions, Radishes, Raspberries, Strawberries, Tomatoes
July: Acorn Squash, Apples, Apricots, Beets, Black Eyed Peas, Blackberries, Blueberries, Cabbage, Cantaloupes, Carrots, Cherries, Corn, Cucumber, Eggplant, Garlic, Green Beans, Lima Beans, New Potatoes, Onions, Peaches, Peppers, Plums, Radishes, Summer Squash, Tomatoes, Watermelons
August: Acorn Squash, Apples, Apricots, Beets, Berries, Cantaloupes, Carrots, Cherries, Blackberries, Blueberries, Cabbage, Cucumber, Eggplant, Garlic, Green Beans, Lima Beans, New Potatoes, Okra, Onions, Parsnips, Peaches, Pears, Peppers, Plums, Potatoes, Radishes, Seeds and Nuts, Tomatoes, Watermelons, Yams
September: Apples, Blueberries, Brussels Sprouts, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cantaloupes, Carrots, Cauliflower, Collards, Green Beans, Kale, Mushrooms, Mustard Greens, Okra, Parsnips, Peaches, Peppers, Plums, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Raspberries, Seeds and Nuts, Summer Squash, Tomatoes, Turnips, Yams
October: Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Collards, Kale, Mushrooms, Mustard Greens, Peas, Peppers, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Raspberries, Soybeans, Spinach, Tomatoes, Turnips
Tip # 4 – "Buy 1/Get 1 Free" produce isn't always a great deal, be sure you can use that much or it will just spoil, essentially costing you more money. (Or, consider sharing the free item with a neighbor!)
Tip # 5 – Before buying large bags of apples, oranges, potatoes, onions or anything else, check the produce carefully to make sure they aren't bruised or spoiled.
Tip # 6 – If you need to buy the larger bag (instead of individual produce items), and all of the bags contain one bruised or spoiled item, be sure to remove the damaged produce as soon as you get home. One spoiled item can affect the rest of the bag if it's not removed soon.
Tip # 7 – Prepackaged produce is not always equal in weight, check the scales for the biggest packages.
Tip # 8 – To get the best value, store produce properly after your purchase. (Do not put tomatoes in the fridge!) If fruit is a little under-ripe, place in a paper bag for one or two days, it will ripen very quickly. If it's over-ripe, put it on the menu for today or tomorrow and either freeze any extra or share with the neighbors if you have more than your family can eat.

Sometimes a situation is so horrific that one really doesn't know what to do about it. This is the case of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan where the entire Northern Hemisphere faces a catastrophe. It's one of those situations that makes you feel quite helpless to prepare.
If you get your news from MSM, Fukushima may not be on your radar. But the alternative presses and bloggers have continued to hammer away at the story. Now, however, a US Senator, Ron Wyden of Oregon, has visited the site and is appalled by what he saw and is making some noise about the situation. You can read a series of letters he wrote as a result of his trip:
To the Japanese ambassador to the US
To Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chair Jaczko
We've all been getting radiated since the nuclear facility was damaged in the tsunami. But the situation is getting worse. Dr. Sircus describes the scenario in graphic terms here.
2 Responses to "Fukushima"
A friend of mine says a lot of joggers in Seattle have moved indoors to run because of the radiation exposure there.
On the other hand, maybe this will just gradually raise our vibration. Some think we are becoming "beings of light". I just never interpreted that as glowing radioactively… Hmm.
The "clean up" of this tragedy will most likely never be cleaned up. Just look at Hanford. A great problem with a lot of power utilities is that the real cost of fixing damage caused by them is not factored into your utility bill. We still pay for it. Just with our taxes and government spending. If it were factored into your utility bill every month more people would be opting for solar or wind on and off their own property.

text: OK...here's one for you. Kanstul built the "International" (aka BE800) for Boosey & Hawkes. Which CURRENT model of Kanstul would you say that the International which was built by Kanstul would be most like in terms of bell shape/weight, and horn response and tone? Note I am NOT trying to draw a comparison with current, or off-shore Besson Internationals.

EMC has released a new Web content management application geared toward non-technical users.
The application, EMC Documentum Page Building, comes with a simple user interface for managing site structure, pages and templates that delegate site management authority to groups within an enterprise while adhering to centralised policies and rules.
Director of web strategies for San Jose-based BEA, Olivier Naimi, said his organisation has a very large and broad user community with different levels of technical skills, and that some users are "frightened and less at ease" with applications such as Documentum Web Publisher. "This tool will definitely fit in very well," he said. While there are other tools for the front end, such as Macromedia's Dreamweaver, they are lacking hooks into the content management system, he said.
Page Builder is based on XML, not just for the content but the navigation elements themselves, which makes it easier to programmatically manipulate and reuse them, said Lubor Ptacek, director of content management marketing for EMC. Other new features include easier site view and editing capabilities and support for Macromedia Dreamweaver templates, the company said.
The application is integrated with EMC's Documentum content management repository so users can take advantage of content there, the company said.
IDC analyst Melissa Webster characterised the product as a great example of how content management companies are responding to the need to serve a broader constituency. There is customer demand for tools that non-technical employees can use that have role-specific user interfaces into the content management system with just enough functionality for the needs of a particular user, she said.
IDC released a report recently naming EMC as the leading content management vendor, based on $362 million in software revenues in 2005. This was a 14.8 percent growth over the previous year, whereas the overall market grew 9.6 percent, Webster said.
Pricing for Page Builder varies based on the number of users and number of assets, but the typical price to buy the Documentum repository and software as a package is $250,000 to $300,000, Ptacek said. He refused to give individual application prices. The software is scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter.
In related news, EMC confirmed it was extending its relationship with Dell over storage products for another five years, reports Deni Connor of Network World.
The relationship, which began in October 2001, allows Dell to market EMC products and develop its own arrays based on EMC technology. As evidence of how well the partnership is going, EMC CEO Joe Tucci said that since EMC and Dell joined forces in 2001 they have overtaken HP in the mid-tier storage market based on revenue share (29 percent to 24.7 percent). "We'll do whatever we can to gain another 21 points of market share," he said.

Many children face adoption each year. They end up in the foster care system, and while many return to their original families, others never will. These children need a new, loving family like your own. You're a single person who wants to raise a child, and that's not something that should deter you. There are many good reasons to move forward with adoption.
What rights do grandparents have?
When you think about child visitation rights, you normally think of married couples and divorcing parents. While that was primarily the case, today, that is not necessarily true. As more grandparents have become involved in the raising of their grandchildren, they are increasingly becoming a bigger part of visitation and custody disputes.

The breathtaking scenic panoramas of snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests and seascapes are part of the magic of New Zealand's golf courses. A range of international links style and rural courses are among our choices for you to enjoy.
Country courses are laid out on rural terrain as varied as nature itself. Sand-based links courses curve around windswept coastal dunes.

Many courses in New Zealand are compulsory spikeless. New Zealand is free of foot and mouth diseases and has strict entry rules. Ensure that your golf shoes and clubs are completely cleaned before you enter New Zealand.
What our customers say…
"Throughout the trip, we felt you provided the perfect balance of anticipating our needs and allowing us to find our way. The variety of golf courses, accommodations and activities gave us a better experience then we even knew we were looking for! Scheduled time and free time were perfectly balanced. The planning of drive times and flights was excellent. We never felt rushed and the information you provided was great. Your thoughtful planning made the entire experience a joy! Thanks to you, we had the trip of a lifetime, with memories we will always cherish!"
Greg & Cate Luke, Seattle, USA

Everything was extremely well organised and it was a stress free trip, thank you so much we will definitely use your company again for our next trip. We were so impressed with the standard of the accommodation and the golf courses we could not be happier."

Activities and side tours organized were also excellent, the cruise to the hole in the rock, the fishing trip when we caught 2 trout and had it for the barbecue and those who did Huka Jets really enjoyed the ride. The Tamaki tour was very interesting. It is quite likely we would not have done these tours without your recommendation. We thank you for the good program and would highly recommend you to all our friends."
Chee Mun Leong, Melbourne, Australia
"Just a note to thank you for the outstanding work and organisation you put into our month long golf tour of both North and South Islands of New Zealand.

The detailed information pack gave us the security of a guided tour but with the flexibility and freedom to go our own way. We recommend your company to anyone planning a golf trip to New Zealand, and intend to circulate your details around the golf club once we get home. As regards New Zealand, we knew about the wonderful scenery before we left and we were not disappointed but the golf has exceeded all our expectations. We will remember Kauri Cliffs, Cape Kidnappers, Wairakei and Clearwater for a long time and think it is an outstanding golfing destination. Many thanks again."

Add the yogurt, tomato paste, lemon and berries juice all together and mix them well.
Add the garlic, salt, coriander powder, white pepper, black pepper and mix.
Sprinkle the oregano and mix.
With a sharp knife, cut each chicken breast into two thinner breasts as seen in the picture.
With a small knife, make three marks on each piece to guarantee the flavor reaching deep into the chicken breasts.

Grill the chicken breasts and serve them hot.

The Song's Story
This is an interesting story. Some years ago we did a song for a client to his girlfriend, soon to be his wife. He wanted it to play at their wedding. Long story short, it happened, and they hired a DJ named Randy Bartlett to be the MC of their reception. We received such a great testimonial from this client (see the sample for the song "Worth the Drive" in this list) that we decided to reach out to Mr. Bartlett, to get his thoughts on how the song went over. He remembers it being a hit! And actually ended up playing the song again per request of the guests! Once when it was intended and planned, then again at the end. Because something unexpected happened. Once Randy introduced the song - saying "the groom wrote this song for his bride" - the audience looked amazed. Then, as it played they started singing along with the chorus of the song! When he played it at the end he remembers everyone clasped arms with each other, dancing and singing along to it again! The client and Randy both said it was a great time and made a huge impact on the wedding. So fast forward some years later when we spoke to Randy Bartlett - we offered him to try the service. He agreed and wrote the words to this beautiful Step Father/Daughter song. It came out really great. Now he has a song to play for those types of occasions. You can tell by his feedback that YourDayYourSong can have a huge impact on an event because the words... their words, are important and emotional. We make the music fit with their words in any style they choose!
Here's an incredible concept to take us to a new level. A while back, one of my clients used this company called YourDayYourSong.com and through him, I connected and came up with this. There isn't a great song for stepfather daughter dance. With YourDayYourSong, you can simply give them lyrics and they will help you with any level of service, including song lyric coaching and turn it into a professionally recorded song. This does not require you to be a great songwriter or musician. Imagine this for a first dance from the groom to the bride or from a dad to his daughter, son to his mom, the couple to their guests, etc. I gave some lyrics to my brother-in-law, who, owns a guitar, but isn't exactly Jack Johnson. From there, we sent it to YourDayYourSong and they did the rest. Now I have a song to add to my collection for that man who "stepped in" and raised the bride as his own. I can see this being used to totally blow people away. Their musicians and vocalists are amazing professionals and you can pick the style you want. I can't say enough good things about them. They took my lyrics, helped me tweak them to make them better, then produced the melody and the finished song, with an awesome singer and great production. We will certainly use this song at upcoming weddings. Imagine being able to have your clients make their own songs with this caliber of production. A first dance, mother-son, anniversary, even a farewell dance. There's no limit - YourDayYourSong gives anyone the ability to create professional music for special occasions. The full length song came in at a perfect 2:35 Check it out.
-- Randy Bartlett
Back when I was just a girl You came in and changed my world Off to work everyday All for us, that's your way I don't know where the years went But I love the time that we spent All the love that you shared You gave your heart, and you were there What a job that you had To step in as a dad Paid the price, to melt the ice Took the risk, rolled the dice Gave us love, rose above All the strife in our life Every day every way From my worst to my best Through the ups and the downs From the smiles and the frowns All that love you had to share I always loved that were there What a job that you had To step in as a dad Paid the price, to melt the ice Took the risk, rolled the dice Gave us love, rose above All the strife in our life Gave us love, rose above All the strife in our life

By: Karen
I went shopping the other day, and found a floral shower curtain, that I absolutely fell in love with. I know, most people probably don't feel quite so strongly about shower curtains, but I really liked it. Taking a step back, I currently have a white shower curtain, with tiny light blue circles all over it, which, if you didn't stop to stare, are so subtle you probably wouldn't notice (and that is representative of my entire decorating style).
The new shower curtain, on the other hand, has a chocolate brown background, with fuchsia and kiwi colored flowers all over it. The flowers are large, and bold, and jump right out at you when you look at it (and you couldn't miss them even if wanted to). So, when I splurged and bought it, of course I needed to update the rest of the bathroom around the new curtain. It was time for a new coat of paint anyway, so I went with a pale green color to replace the white. I also bought new accessories in fuchsia that matched the color on the shower curtain perfectly – a soap dispenser, a toothbrush holder, and a toothpaste holder. I replaced the rugs on the floor with rugs that were the same chocolate brown as the background.
The other thing I needed to update were the blinds. Partially because they were plain and boring white, but partially because they were old, and didn't really become clean when I tried washing them anymore. I knew that I didn't want to go with mini blinds again (that's what they were) because of how impossible they were to clean, but I didn't want to get anything that wouldn't hold up to moisture either. I ended up with a faux wood blind. The person at the showroom told me it would hold up well to moisture and was easier to clean – because they were wider slats – although I'm not too convinced of that – I figured I'd give it a try. The blind is a dark espresso color that matched the shower curtain and the rugs perfectly.
Now that I've redone the bathroom, I love it, and it's got me started thinking about what I can do in the rest of the rooms. Maybe I could use a little more color in the rest of the rooms…

John 1:1-18
The Gospel of John and the Book of Genesis both begin with, "In the Beginning." St. John describes the pre-existence of the Son of God in a poetic expression linking heaven and earth. The frame of bounded time is set against the expanse of eternity. Into this frame enters the eternal Word.
Four times in the prologue—nowhere else in this Gospel—the Greek, charis is used, usually translated into English as "grace." This is the action of God as it enters our human lives. It is the New Testament term for the loving-kindness of God as found in the Hebrew Scriptures. Keeping with the sense of God's presence among the desert-wandering Jews in the tabernacle, John asserts, "The Word was made flesh and has pitched his tent among us" (author's translation).
The Reading for Today
Version for Children and Families
This is the Fourth Week in Advent, Year C.
See "Solar and Sacred Seasons" in the menu above.
Fridays in Year C are dedicated to the Gospel of St. Luke.

black bean & rice veggie burger recipe/
Though I am not a vegetarian, I do love my veggie burgers. I have to be careful because not all veggie burgers are gluten free. It is easy to make your own, so you can control what's in them, but it's also fun to pick and choose the flavor combinations.
This particular recipe was inspired by a little hole in the wall Mexican kitchen on my block. Dave and I order from them when we are too lazy to cook and/or because we have decided we are in the mood for tacos and fresh, healthy margaritas. Without fail, I always order one too many tacos but that does not stop me from eating them all. I am also obsessed with their black beans and yellow rice so I add those sides to my tacos, despite the fact they are already spilling over with deliciousness.
I was determined to find a healthier recipe without compromising the taste. If you like the taste and texture of Mexican food - black beans, saffron rice, lime and avocado - then you will love, love, love this recipe. Viva la veggie burger. #riceandbeans
Serves: 6
Prep Time (using leftover saffron rice): 10 minutes
Prep Time (including saffron rice cook time): 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Fresh From the Market:
- 1 Egg (or flax egg for vegan recipe)
- 2 Limes (1 tbsp. Juice; 6 Wedges for garnish)
- 1 tbsp. Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tbsp. Fresh Parsley (chopped)
- 2 Avocados Sliced (for garnish)
From the Pantry (or Fridge):
- 1 c. Saffron Brown Basmati Rice
- 1 can Organic Black Beans
- 1/4 c. Brown Rice Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
Kitchen Gadgets:
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Citrus Press or Juicer
- Potato Masher
- Skillet
Cooking Instructions:
- This is a great recipe to utilize saffron rice leftovers from one of my recent posts. Ideally, you can whip this meal up very quickly if the rice has already been prepared. If you don't have saffron, you can easily sub that with brown rice, though it will lack some of the delicious flavor.
- Rinse and drain the black beans. Measure the rice and beans and put them in a large mixing bowl.
- Next up are a few of my favorite greens (I hope you sang that like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music, like I did...).
- Slice the lime and juice one half for 1 tbsp. of lime juice. Slice the other half and the second lime into 6 wedges, to be used as garnish later.
- Next, chop the parsley and cilantro into small, flat leaves. They smell so fresh, don't they?
- Add the lime juice and herbs to the large mixing bowl and start to mash it all with the rice and beans. Once the beans start to squish, add the egg and gluten free bread crumbs. Mash it all together until everything is sticky but make sure the beans still have some structure and texture to them.
- Place the skillet over a low to medium flame and spritz with cooking spray. Let it warm up for a minute while you make the veggie patties.
- Roll the mixture into 6 separate patties with your hands. You will want to pack them tightly so they do not become a crumbly mess in the skillet. (Please learn from my initial mistake!). If any of the burgers crumble, you can still turn them into an unexpected, but just as delicious, rice and bean bowl.
- Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes, flip and repeat. You will know they are done with they brown a bit so take them off the skillet with a spatula.
- Slice the avocado and place 2 to 4 slices on each burger. Grab your lime wedges and squeeze lime juice over each burger for some extra zing.
I hope this tasty meal reminds you of yummy Mexican food, but without some of the added calories. If you like hot sauce, like I do, splash some Cholula's on top!
