shimon_steinberg_natural_pest_control_using_bugs. Uma apresentação sobre como controlar pragas usando bixinhos. Alguns bichinhos que não conhecia. Boa onda desta empresa de Israel, eles dominam na agricultura realmente. A ver se expugnam a bayer e a monsanto (chulos + mafiosos, destroem o solo, e criam super-bugs resistentes a todos os insecticidas) do planeta e o devolvem aos bixinhos.

Insects that are being considered as biocontrol agents are studied/tested vigorously and held in quarantine for up to ten years before being released into an ecosystem. Their interactions with native insect agents, pest insects, plants and other organisms are all studed before release.

Deutsche Bank Pays Investment Bankers More Than Goldman Sachs

0 Pérolas
Deutsche Bank AG, Germany’s biggest bank, set aside more in compensation for employees of its corporate and investment bank in the first nine months of 2010 than Goldman Sachs Group Inc.

Deutsche Bank reserved enough money to pay 285,352 euros ($394,499) to each of the 16,194 workers at the division, which includes the securities unit and transaction banking, company data show. That compares with overall personnel costs per employee at Goldman Sachs of $370,706 in the period.

“The market continues to be very competitive and top talent has its value and its price and we cannot ignore that fact,” Deutsche Bank Chief Financial Officer Stefan Krause said on a conference call today.

Investment banks typically reserve a portion of revenue throughout the year to pay staff, granting the bulk of the awards in the form of year-end bonuses. Deutsche Bank set aside 4.62 billion euros for compensation expenses, up from 4.24 billion euros a year ago. Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Credit Suisse Group AG all cut the money they set aside to pay bankers and traders amid a business slowdown.

Deutsche Bank raised the compensation pool for corporate and investment banking employees by 9 percent from a year earlier, while revenue increased 7 percent to 16.4 billion euros. Pay per employee compared with 296,037 euros for each of the 14,309 workers a year ago.

Average pay per worker doesn’t reflect the amount of money employees actually receive. Top executives and revenue producers sometimes receive multimillion-dollar awards, while clerical staff get much smaller salaries.

Deutsche Bank today reported a third-quarter loss that was smaller than estimated as higher profit at the investment bank cushioned a writedown on its Deutsche Postbank AG stake. The net loss of 1.21 billion euros in the third quarter compared with a profit of 1.38 billion euros a year earlier. Analysts had predicted a 1.52 billion-euro loss.

The time leverage (Promises of singing horses)

0 Pérolas
Once upon a time in China, there lived an Emperor who owned a majestic white stallion, the finest beast in all his Kingdom. One night, a thief tried to slip in and steal the horse, but was captured by the palace guards and thrown into the dungeon.

The next morning, he was dragged before the Emperor's court. "How dare you," bellowed the Emperor, "lay hand on my royal steed! Jailor, put this thief to death!"

Immediately, the thief bowed deeply. "Your judgement is peerless and wise, O Emperor," he calmly replied, "but my life is of little value. I should offer you a gift before I depart. Your mount is quite a fine one, but if your eminence would spare my life for just a year and a day, I swear to you I can teach that horse to sing hymns!"

The court burst in to laughter at that, but the Emperor was intrigued. After all, you didn't get to his high position by turning down freely offered gifts, no matter how far-fetched they seem. To the surprise of all, the Emperor quickly accepted the offer.

As they were leaving the chambers, the jailor whispered to the thief, "You are a fool!"

"I am a fool?" replied the thief, smiling broadly. "Much can happen in a year and a day. The King may die. The horse may die. I may die... and maybe the horse will learn how to sing."

Os 25 videos escolhidos do youtube, para serem expostos no Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Gostei especialmente do "Words" feito pelos Everynone(mais videos na pagina). É daqueles que num cenário de "The day the earth stood still" ou seja se os aliens chegarem cá e perguntarem "porque é que não havemos de fazer uma limpeza aqui aos afideos do planeta Gaia IV", e se a malta mostrar este video... pode ser (mt remotamente) que tenhamos alguma hipótese ! Se não funcionar a única salvação que temos é mesmo a minha discografia.

Não percebi o que é que faz lá aquele video com widgets do youtube, é mesmo para os criticos dizerem que "vêm" arte em qq calhau, e, que a malta n percebeu o objecto de arte.



Para quem achar que isto é tudo uma ganda tanga(tipo museus boring a se aproveitarem da arte publica para terem interesse ou qq coisa do género) e quiser ver o museu ser destruido por criminosos ao serviço da máfia dos bancos, sugiro que vejam o filme "The Internacional".
