Topless Women, Rule Of Law, And Perceptions Of China.
2009-09-13 23:28:00 Matt Schivenza's always interesting blog has a new post up on nudity (well, sorta) in China, entitled, "Foreign Woman Removes Top At Beach in Qingdao, Causes Major Disturbance." The post tracks exactly what I was talking about this morning with a client. No, not nudity, but rule of law in China and how so many Americans misunderstand its extent in China and misperceive what China is really like. Bear with me here as I discuss the rule of law in China as the nudity discussion will follow. The client with whom I was having this discussion is a very successful and sophisticated international businessperson who has been doing business in China for around five years. He was telling me of how an American competitor of his had gotten into legal troubles and was on the verge of pulling out of China. My client told me he thought his competitor had brought the problems onto his company by believing he could get away with not following Chinese laws. We then talked about how when i...

How to Apply the 80/20 Rule to Your Recruiting Efforts and Get Into Investm
2009-09-07 10:30:00 "Pls add periods to all sentences. Pls change spacing to single-spacing everywhere. Change all heading fonts to size 16 everywhere. Have on my desk by morning. Thx." You spend a lot of time on useless tasks in investment banking. I get questions on how you can be more "efficient" - but it's almost impossible, because you have to do whatever your superiors demand. The closest you can come to "efficiency" is right here - and it's more about slacking off and tricking people rather than being "efficient." But it is possible to make your recruiting efforts more efficient - by applying the 80/20 rule.

Biharikaran of Punjab under Badal&Co. Rule
2009-06-27 10:58:00 Criminals We used to hear the stories of Bihar or Maharashtra where a group of Shiv Sainiks enters a government office beats some government officer and blacks his face. But this kind of incident had never happened in Punjab but now it has happened. And this was waiting to happen as its preliminary signs had started to show during the Moga Municipal Council elections. A political leader and his sons, with the help of goons had pointed their gun at the reporters and had kept the District Commissioner and Police Chief at the doors of a polling booth while they themselves had casted the votes. Another Akali Dal Legislator has shoot at a BJP Legislator and has put his car on fire. A few weeks ago another Akali Dal Legislator had abused a senior BJP minister in his own home. All these incidents indicate that except Prakash Singh Badal?s clean personality, criminal elements have entered the Akali Dal under his son?s leadership. During his 60 years of political career, Badal was never b...

Cropping & Rule of Thirds
2009-04-19 07:42:00 I was scanning some older photos, colour prints, taken on film on a Cannon compact camera. Whilst this one was a fraction ?misty? I saw it had potential but falls down, as so many holiday snaps do, compositionally. ?Good composition gets the viewer to look into the picture, not scan across it? ?.quote from my upcoming workshop Cropping is one of the easiest ways to improve the composition of a photo, and typically that means identifying the areas of interest, and placing then is a good place for the eye to settle. The rule of thirds is often quotes a the gospel for photographers, but it is just a simplification of the golden ratio used by artist for centuries. The idea is to put the most important compositional elements, like the shore of the lake , the villa and the silhouetted trees, onto or straddling the imaginary lines dividing the image into thirds. Some digital cameras now even come with a mode to display these lines on the LCD ?viewfinder?. ...
That's Some Rule, That Rule VII E: (I Fought The Library, 4)
2009-04-10 15:39:00 I am fighting the library over their claim that I did not return two DVDs, and I intend to win. Part 1 of this is here; Part 2 is here.Part 3 is here.Lots of people may not realize it but in my day job I am a practicing lawyer. (Those "lots of people" include my boss and my co-workers, who frequently greet me with "What is it you do, again?")(When they're not greeting me by saying "You've got Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch stuck to your tie.")And just as they taught me in law school, lawyering is an honorable profession devoted to trying to find loopholes in rules so that I, personally, can benefit by someone else's oversight. Which is just what I did yesterday, when I went to the Middleton Public Library website and looked up their circulation policies.All public institutions have policies and rules and whatnot, because otherwise, how would the people that run them fill up their day? How much time do you figure, exactly, it takes to run a library, day in and day out? Order a f...

Thanks to key documents that showed the Bush Administration ignored the warnings of senior career Department officials who said the rule change violated several laws - the judge said the government’s case was “astoundingly flawed.” Pretty much sums it up.
Self-Publishing and the Exception to the Rule
2009-03-16 21:13:00 It's easy to see that the publishing industry, like the music industry before it, is undergoing major changes where in future it may not be uncommon to see writers simply bypassing the publishers altogether to sell directly to their readers. The new print-on-demand publishers (like Lulu) make it extremely easy and economical for writers to self-publish, especially where these have immediate access to on-line distribution through Amazon or Chapters. This is good, because in cutting out the middleman (publishers, retailers) costs can be kept down, yet with a much higher return from the cover price going directly to the writer. But this is also very bad, because without a publisher acting as 'referee', the reader has almost no way of navigating through the storm of self-publishing that is threatening to overwhelm us. Self-publishing is often legitimate when dealing with small niche or regional markets. As small publishers have increasingly been bought out by larger national publ...
Rule the Stars by Drawing Pictures with Them

Remember when you were a kid, and you laid on your front lawn just making up shapes out of constellations that probably didn't even exist? Well, even if you don't, you'll still get a kick out of Arcelik's Rule the Stars.
Governor's Rule in Punjab
2009-02-27 06:30:00 Supreme Court of Pakistan has disqualified Shahbaz Sharif ? sitting Chief Minister Punjab - for holding a public office and his brother Nawaz Sharif ? twice former Prime Minister of Pakistan - for contesting elections. The decision reminded me what one of my friends from Police department said only a month back, the beginning of an end has started. Punjab government will go by Mar and the center by end this year. I was wondering if he had given loner margin for the center.There is so much going on for weak governments all over the country ? war in Swat and Tribal areas, Taliban quagmire, economic recession, price hick and relations with India and Afghanistan.

Rangle Rule
2009-01-30 01:12:00 From the office of Representative John Carter, Texas Thirty One: All U.S. taxpayers would enjoy the same immunity from IRS penalties and interest as House Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Obama Administration Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, if a bill introduced today by Congressman John Carter (R-TX) becomes law. Texas judge, today introduced the Rangel Rule Act of 2009, HR 735, which would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from charging penalties and interest on back taxes against U.S. citizens. Under the proposed law, any taxpayer who wrote “Rangel Rule” on their return when paying back taxes would be immune from penalties and interest Hat tip: Ramesh Ponnuru, National Review. My reading of the Fourteenth Amendment is not so much as it enshrines a specific set of rights, but rather that it prohibits classes of citizenship. That is the state can not have one rule for citizen who not congresscritters and another rule for those who ar...

Brightcove Tries to Rule Video World with Vendor “Alliance”
2008-12-08 06:01:00 Brightcove on Monday formally launches a consortium of video service providers that are compatible with its platform. Some 80 partners in the new “Brightcove Alliance” include ad networks, social networks, social media toolmakers, mobile providers, search engines, analytics services and creative designers. The Alliance is more plush than Brightcove’s open APIs released to developers alongside its software refresh in October — and includes support and marketing for partners. Brightcove is doing its best to be a benevolent platform. In a call with NewTeeVee, CEO Jeremy Allaire promised, “We don’t get involved in an economic relationship with third-party technology.” And in the ever competitive white-label video market, he said Brightcove is offering commissions to partners who bring in new clients.

The Golden Rule for ERP Software Vendors - Use What You Sell and Sell What
2008-08-11 14:17:00 A recent article prompted me to pause and sit in bewilderment. To my surprise, not all ERP vendors use their own ERP software to run their internal operations. No, I thought, it cannot be true. But it is true. And if you are as shocked as I was, well, join the club of disbelievers.Since we began developing our software back in the early 90’s, TGI has used Enterprise 21 to run our own operations. From CRM and project management to support call resolution and year end financial statements, Enterprise 21 is all we use internally. Quite frankly, it is all we need.Honestly, I really did not believe that other ERP software vendors were any different. I suppose I suspected vendors of very vertically focused software may use a different software package than they sell, but honestly, I had not put much thought it. The idea of an ERP software vendor not using the same software they develop and sell simply seemed ludicrous to me. I just did not believe an ERP developer would use a ...
