the recruitment of the big law


And, of course, candidates should also have a real excitement about the actual practice of law. (Tip: Don't mention Law & Order in an interview.) These are the people that Meyerhofer says will happily "sit and argue over the best ways to draft certain provisions."
A September, 2008 paper from UC Berkeley professors Marjorie Shultz and Sheldon Zedeck suggests that Keeley is onto something. Attempting to help law schools identify promising future lawyers, the report's authors examined a number of "predictors" of lawyering effectiveness. Typical measures of "geekiness" like LSAT scores and undergraduate grade point averages were not reliable indicators of later lawyering abilities. Instead, situational judgment tests, biographical information, and seven specific personality traits -- ambition, adjustment, sociability, prudence, interpersonal sensitivity, inquisitiveness, and learning approach -- could better forecast an applicant's later success as an attorney.If you want to join MMORPGs, you can buy Diablo 3 account and buy d3 gold here. If searching for cheap Diablo 3 account sell, you can go to Farmer100 which is a professional MMORPGs trading site.
Of course, most firms would love to hire these social and inquisitive lawyers, but picking them out of the overflowing candidate pool is not always easy. Law students don't usually confess to their interviewers that they don't like to work hard or have no passion for practicing law.
Woldow points to a few specific biographical indicators of future Big Law superstars: first-generation lawyers without legacies of Supreme Court justices and Big Law partners; first or second-generation immigrants; and people from modest economic backgrounds. These people, she says, often come in with different expectations. Instead of thinking they are due money and success, they think, "'I have to earn it and make my way.'"

the suitable persons in the big law


I never should have been an attorney.
I am physically incapable of pulling all-nighters, I avoid conflict instead of pursuing it, and I have essentially zero drive to fight for the interests of multi-billion dollar corporations. So it did not come as much of a surprise to anyone -- except my mom and dad, perhaps -- when after exactly one year of practice at a big law firm, I turned in my BlackBerry and walked out the door.
Big Law is famously tough. But despite its reputation, law students continue to line up for consideration at the country's top firms, hoping to land a coveted spot as an associate. Many of these young lawyers, though, will find that they are simply not cut out for law firm life and, according to Pamela Woldow of law firm consultancy Edge International, approximately 70% will leave within the first four years of practice.
At a time when their very survival seems up in the air, how can firms spot and hire the few candidates that will thrive in Big Law instead of wasting time and money on people like me?Another way to get rid of the bad emotion is to play game. When you play Diablo 3, you won’t think about other things. You will be addicted into the games. And you want to buy diablo iii account, and where to sell Diablo 3 account. In the game, you can think about something similar and think out the things. You can buy d3 gold in the farmer100 website.
Woldow says that smart firms are beginning to change their hiring standards, selecting candidates who will stay longer than just a few years and who, upon making partner, will bring in their own business.
According to Heather Frattone, associate dean for career planning at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, this means that firms are looking for more than just exemplary report cards. Depending on the firm, "communications skills, project management, organizational understanding, drive, initiative, resilience, and entrepreneurship" are all sought after qualities in recruits, but different firms place varying levels of value on these traits.
Firm recruiters, Frattone adds, are beginning to ask more behavioral questions to identify candidates with the qualities they're looking for. "Things like, 'Tell me a time you were not successful at something you were working on, and what did you learn from that?'" These are the kinds of questions you might hear at any other interview. They just haven't had much of a role at law firms up until now.
But it's not enough for young lawyers to be smart, ambitious team players. Woldow advises looking for people with more life experience over candidates who went straight from high school to college to law school. "Maturity helps you roll with the punches a little more," she says. Candidates who have only worked within academia, who graduated at the top of their class, and are used to being lauded for their accomplishments often "don't understand that they're just the lowest of the low in a big machine." They have trouble taking orders, moving through Big Law's hierarchical structure, and putting in the required hours.
Psychotherapist Will Meyerhofer, a former associate at Sullivan & Cromwell and author of the legal blog The People's Therapist, thinks firms can keep associates around longer by only hiring people he calls "workhorses." These are the ones "who can just handle the brutal hours, who are very motivated by the money and making partner." He describes these people as "nerdy," "geeky," and "dorky," and with "fewer outside interests."
But while plenty of firms will happily snap up those recruits, Williams & Connolly regularly takes cases to trial and looks for attorneys who will not only make a positive impression on clients, but on juries as well. "Someone who can only talk on a purely theoretical, academic level, is going to be more challenged here," says Williams & Connolly hiring partner Meg Keeley. Instead, Keeley says, her firm seeks "someone who can make arguments on a practical and personal level."

about the business woman


The year was 1973. Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique had been out for a decade; Ms.magazine had published its first issue. Women were pouring into the workforce, hitting 40% of the total working population that year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Over half of married women with school-age kids held a paying job. And yet, as Fortune'sWyndham Robertson surveyed the world of big business in an April 1973 story, he had a question about this supposed female surge: "Where in blazes are they?"
A mere 3% of women in the workforce were "managers and administrators," according to the BLS, and, as Robertson wrote, "in jobs where visibility is greatest -- i.e. in corporate management -- women are seldom seen."I know a special job that is to play runescape instead of real player. They pay money to someone, and give some money to buy d3 gold and d3 gold. Using the money buys some equipment to upgrade and kill monsters. Do they know where to sell Diablo 3 account? They can visit the farmer100 website and they can do some transactions.

How seldom seen? Fortune looked at its list of the 1,000 largest industrial companies, plus the 50 largest companies in six non-industrial businesses. From this list of 1,300 firms, 1,220 had to file proxies with the SEC that provided information on the top three paid officers, and any director earning over $30,000 (equivalent to just shy of $160,000 today). Of the 6,500 names generated that way, a mere 11 turned out to be women. After subtracting a woman who appeared not to be closely involved in running her company, Robertson profiled the others in a piece called "The Ten Highest-Ranking Women in Big Business" that is notable both for showing what has changed in 40 years and, as importantly, what has not.
In 1973, it was almost impossible for a woman to work her way up the ranks to a leadership role. Robertson wrote that while the women on the list -- which included names such as the Washington Post's (WPO) Katharine Graham and Barbie creator Ruth Handler -- were "highly capable and hard-working executives," they also, with only two exceptions, "were helped along by a family connection, by marriage, or by the fact that they helped to create the organizations they now preside over. In short, most of them did not have to deal with at least two problems that have over the years held back even the most able and qualified women: They did not start out in their companies in jobs with limited futures, and they did not have to work their way through a corporate hierarchy that discriminated against them."
The irony of this was that "none of these women, obviously, has to work, and in fact some of them wouldn't have -- or wouldn't have had careers -- without the family tie-in." Dorothy Chandler of the Times Mirror Co., reported in her profile that, "If I had not been Mrs. Norman Chandler, I would not have had the opportunities I've had."
But, as Robinson wrote, "Each of them plays an effective and important role within her corporation -- an impressive bit of evidence that other female executive talent is going to waste."
Forty years later, this seems pretty apparent. Fortune's annual Most Powerful Women in Business list can easily rank 50 women vs. the 10 on the 1973 proto-list, and as Fortune noted in its October 2012 rankings, "While there are currently 19 female Fortune 500 CEOs ... the talent pool was so deep that two of them didn't make the cut."
Some of these 50 women climbed the harrowing ranks of their companies. IBM (IBM) CEO Ginni Rometty, for instance, joined the tech giant in her early 20s in 1981. That's a mere eight years after Robertson pointed out the "absurd" discrimination female executives faced, such as the Milwaukee Estate Planning Council's refusal to grant membership to Catherine Cleary, president of the First Wisconsin Trust Co. (and a member of Fortune's 1973 list), despite the fact that the $1.25 billion in assets under her management meant she was running the largest trust company in Milwaukee ("indeed in all of Wisconsin.")
What's also interesting is how similar some of the issues brought up in Robinson's 1973 article are to what's rehashed now.
Robinson dutifully informed readers that "Most of the women were able to combine careers with families. Six of them are married, and three are widows. Seven of those nine are mothers." But one key reason there weren't more women in leadership roles, Robinson wrote, is the view that careers and kids were incompatible. Indeed, "highly educated women are the ones who most frequently quit their jobs during the rearing of preschool children -- and they are presumably the women whose chances of advancement would otherwise be greatest."
And then there's the question of ambition -- whether women "leave before you leave" to quote Facebook (FB) COO Sheryl Sandberg. "Among these highly successful businesswomen there is general agreement that women's aspirations are still far too low," Robertson wrote.
"Women may get to the top of the heap at some low level, but they don't try to move up to the next plateau," said Tillie Lewis of Ogden Corp. "Somehow they're not inspired. Maybe they will be, now with women's lib."
Bernice Lavin of Alberto-Culver, whose profile noted that she took off a Marissa Mayer-esque one month when her three children were born and "has never felt that running a home made her paying job more difficult," reported that the women in her sales force did a better job than the men. But, writes Robertson, "she finds lots more women unwilling to take on responsibility and unduly fearful of making mistakes. She says 'A lot of girls want to be secretaries, and that's it.'"

the warning of the cold medicine


Despite safety warnings not to give sick toddlers cough and cold medications, almost half of parents in a recent survey are using the over-the-counter products anyway.
A poll released last month by researchers at the University of Michigan found that 42% of parents with children under the age of 4 gave them cough medicine, and 44% said they used multi-symptom cough and cold medications. A quarter of the parents said they used decongestants. The survey, which echoed some earlier studies' findings, arrives five years after the drugs' packages started including directions warning against their use in very young children.
Matthew Davis, a University of Michigan pediatrician who directed the survey, said he was surprised and concerned by the findings, which may show that parents aren't aware of the labeling and the history of worries about the drugs' use in young children. 'If you're a parent who doesn't know the story, you're going to think this [medicine] is for your kids, ' he says.
In order to upgrade, there are many tasks to finish in the Diablo 3. The player has no diablo iii account. And they will not buy buy d3 gold at present. Do they know where to sell Diablo 3 account? These non-members players will be how to improve level?  The task that is low requirements will be introduced, and it is suitable to the non members and the new players.

The medications came under close scrutiny in 2008, when the Food and Drug Administration advised that they shouldn't be given to children under 2. That came after an agency advisory committee the previous year said children younger than 6 shouldn't take the medications. The panel concluded there wasn't evidence that the drugs helped young children, while FDA safety officials had suggested some of the drugs were associated with side effects and some deaths, mostly in very young patients and often involving overdoses.
Manufacturers agreed to put warnings on the products' boxes that they shouldn't be given to children under 4 years old. These appear today on medications that include dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant, the expectorant guaifenesin and the decongestants phenylephrine and pseudoephedrine. Medications with antihistamines warn against use in kids younger than 6. The children's cough and cold products are sold under brand names including Novartis AG's Triaminic and Pfizer Inc.'s Dimetapp and Robitussin.

shopping with your friend


Shopping with friends may be bad news for your bank balance, but at least you'll get your money's worth.
Experts found two thirds (62 per cent) of women who trawl the shops with a female friend will spend more money than those who venture to the high street on their own.
Girls tend to fork out £37.25 more each time they go out with their friends than when they go alone.
The study also shows that over the course of one year ladies will spend up to £894 more than if they had gone on a spree unaccompanied.
The Internet not only has the physical commodity, but also has the virtual products. The phone card can be recharged into the telephone and mobile phone. The game card can also pay money. For example, buy d3 gold act as the money and exchange more cheap d3 gold. Or by paying on line, the player can be a diablo iii account. As to the player, that is wonderful. It is easy to find where to sell Diablo 3 account.

But it’s not all bad news, as two thirds of women feel more confident in the clothes they have bought if they have had the opinion of their friends while trying them on.
And the same percentage feels happier after hitting the shops in good company, than alone.
A spokeswoman for Liverpool ONE, which commissioned the study of 2, 000 women, said: 'Shopping with friends, while sometimes a more costly experience, can often be far more enjoyable than going to the high street alone.
Girlfriends are great to have around as they’ll happily help you choose something to wear, will love to help you accessorise and will give an honest opinion in the changing rooms. When shopping alone, it is easy to decide not to bother buying anything if you’re not sure whether outfits are complementary, and if your guilty conscience wins.

character test


When Frank Parsons opened the world's first career guidance center in Boston in 1908, he began by asking prospective clients 116 penetrating questions about their ambitions, strengths, and weaknesses (and how often they bathed). But then he did something more unusual: He measured their skulls.
Parsons was a committed believer in phrenology. If you had a large forehead, he might recommend you become a lawyer or engineer. But if your skull was more developed behind the ears, you were of the "animal type" and best suited to manual work.
Career advice has, thankfully, come a long way since then. But now, instead of measuring the outside of people's heads, it has become common to measure the inside using psychometric tests. Personality testing has grown into a major industry and is standard procedure in leadership and management courses, as part of job-interview processes, and, increasingly, in career counselling. But should we really trust such tests to deliver scientific, objective truth?
They usually bought d3 gold with the RMB. To buy d3 gold, they preferred less spending in the other aspects of life. They said that it did not matter because the cheap rs gold could purchase the special skill and increase the level. 

I have some bad news for you: Even the most sophisticated tests have considerable flaws. Take the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the world's most popular psychometric test, which is based on Jung's theory of personality types. Over two million are administered every year. The MBTI places you in one of 16 personality types, based on dichotomous categories such as whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, or have a disposition towards being logical or emotional (what it calls "thinking" and "feeling").
The interesting -- and somewhat alarming -- fact about the MBTI is that, despite its popularity, it has been subject to sustained criticism by professional psychologists for over three decades. One problem is that it displays what statisticians call low "test-retest reliability." So if you retake the test after only a five-week gap, there's around a 50% chance that you will fall into a different personality category compared to the first time you took the test.

new ways of hunting a job in Danish


Steen Mengel was walking down a busy street a few weeks ago when he stumbled onto a sign reading 'an available academic is sitting here.' An arrow pointed to people sitting in the window of a storefront.
The 47-year-old real-estate developer didn't have a job to offer anybody, but he was intrigued. 'The idea, though, I like, ' he said, as he stood a few feet from the big picture windows framing the scene. 'It catches people's attention.'
Catching people's attention is exactly what more than a dozen job hopefuls in Denmark's capital are looking to do, even though they seem to be ripping a page from Amsterdam's famous red-light district to achieve their goal. After pounding the pavement for two years in some cases, highly trained professionals -- ranging from lawyers to former CEOs to tax experts -- are standing in line to get a seat in the 'exhibit.'


'I'm willing to try anything, ' said Hannibal Camel Holt, an unemployed political scientist, as he took his place in the window one afternoon. Armed with a laptop computer and wearing a dark blue button-down shirt, Mr. Holt has been 'kicking doors in and chasing leads, ' as he puts it, on and off for four years, striking out despite qualifications that include speaking six languages. For him, sitting-in represented a necessary, albeit awkward step.
'I feel like a monkey . . . in a cage as people walk by and just stare at me, ' the former tax ministry employee said as he sat behind a desk and occasionally glanced at passersby. After he had recently missed out on a job that had attracted 265 applicants, he realized that 'there comes a point when your CV is, like, dead.' A resume, in other words, doesn't necessarily do the trick.

the last stand of Blackberry


Blackberry's decision to make its free messaging service, BBM, available on other mobile phone platforms is a Hail Mary play for a damaged company that pretty much has nothing to lose at this point. By giving away the stickiest feature available to Blackberry's dwindling consumer base to Android and iOS users for free, the company is hoping that it will be able to expand, or at the very least maintain, its once lucrative ecosystem.
It is extremely easy to bash on Blackberry (BBRY) these days. The bunglings of its former management team over the last five years will probably be studied in business schools for generations as how not to do just about everything. But Blackberry is on an upswing of sorts at the moment. Its stock has more than doubled from its lows hit last year, and after two years of development (light years in the tech world) the company is "back in the game" with the launch of its new operating system, Blackberry 10, and a few new handsets, the Z10, Q10, and the recently announced Q5.
Yet despite the recent optimism over the launch of the Blackberry 10 series, the company will almost certainly continue to lose market share in the crowded consumer hardware space to rivals that use Google's (GOOG) Android platform. Phones shipped with the Blackberry operating system made up just 2.9% of mobile phones sold in the first quarter of this year, down 35% from last year, according to new sale numbers released by IDC on Thursday. Phones running Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows operating system outsold Blackberry for what appears to be the first time, capturing 3.2% of the market. But phones running either Android or Apple's (AAPL) iOS, captured 92% of all mobile sales -- with Android garnering 59% of the total market, an 80% increase from the same time last year. With that, Android now runs on 75% of the world's smartphones.
To be fair, those first-quarter sales numbers just reflect eight days of sales for the new Blackberry phones in the U.S. and just a couple of months of sales in Canada. Nevertheless, the public's lukewarm reception to the product -- no one was camping out for the new Z10 -- isn't encouraging. The phone has reportedly passed the 1 million shipped mark in its first quarter of launch, which isn't bad, but isn't great for a company with such huge brand recognition. By contrast, nearly 5 million iPhones were sold in the first week of its launch back in September.
There really isn't much you can do on a Blackberry that you can't do on an Android phone these days. There aren't a bunch of must-have apps that run exclusively on Blackberry, for example. Indeed, Blackberry seems to have surrendered the app development space to Google as it considers the new Blackberry 10's ability to run Android app clones as a major selling point.
But there is one consumer-focused feature that Blackberry offers that no other handset maker or mobile platform has -- its Blackberry Messaging Service (BBM). The service allows Blackberry users to send and receive messages, share files, and even exchange music with other Blackberry users without incurring special messaging charges from their wireless carrier. It has proven to be very sticky in places like Indonesia, Haiti, and Nigeria where wireless service is unreliable.
So imagine the confusion when Blackberry announced this week it was opening up BBM to both iOS and Android users through a free app that will be made available this summer. It seems odd that Blackberry would give up its only truly sticky consumer-focused feature. Some in the geek media called it "surrender," while others saw it as a great move by the company to open itself up to the rest of the mobile community.
diablo iii account is very important to every player. Therefore, many players always try various ways to making the money that is the d3 gold. Some players buy d3 gold and become a member to expand the methods of making d3 gold. Some players try their best to find the ways to sell Diablo 3 account. The members have more methods to making money than the non-members. 

The move seems more akin to a company spinning off one of its divisions than anything else. BBM, with its 60 million users, is arguably the most buoyant thing in Blackberry's sinking consumer mobile division. If it remained attached to the ship it would surely drown. But allowed to roam free, BBM could possibly survive as a separate entity -- a slim chance, but a chance nonetheless. Survive as what? If BBM attracts enough iOS and Android users it could eventually become a sweet advertising portal for the company -- launching Blackberry as a player in the mobile advertising market. It could also possibly morph into a premier messaging app for companies who want to monitor employee communications.

China's movie industry


Move over, Hollywood. China's movie industry, or 'Chollywood, ' is getting so influential it can now save another country from recession.
The country in question, Thailand, has seen its trade balance disintegrate to a deficit of 6% of gross domestic product from a surplus of the same over the past two years. The only reason this hasn't sent the currency plummeting, and forced a recession, is that tourist inflows are acting as an offset, says Jonathan Anderson of the Emerging Advisors Group.
Net travel revenue doubled to 9% of Thai GDP today from five years ago--and like in so much else, the new demand comes from China. Visitors from the mainland jumped 93% year-over-year between January and April.
I know a special job that is to play runescape instead of real player. They pay money to someone, and give some money to buy d3 gold and d3 gold. Using the money buys some equipment to upgrade and kill monsters. Do they know where to sell Diablo 3 account? They can visit the farmer100 website and they can do some transactions.

For the recent tourists, Thailand can especially thank the 2012 box-office-hit 'Lost in Thailand.' Consider that comedy China's version of 'The Hangover II, ' except the movie makes Thailand seem charming, not seedy. The Thai prime minister was so grateful she even invited the movie's director for a recent meeting.
China isn't anywhere near yet to exerting the global cultural influence wielded by Hollywood. Still, there's a lot to be said for Chollywood's hard-currency clout.

High Happiness Index Countries


1 Australia
For the second year in a row, Australia is the number one happiest country in the world. And it's not hard to see why —they rank extremely well in health, civic engagement, and housing.
The life expectancy at birth in Australia is 82 years, two years higher than the OECD average.
Australia also has exceptional voter turnout at 93% during recent elections, which is far above the OECD average of 72%.
2 Sweden
Having a good education is extremely important in Sweden, where 87% of adults aged 25-64 have earned the equivalent of a high school degree.
They also ranked highly in all environmental categories. Their level of air pollutant particles is 10 micro grams per cubic meter — considerably lower than the OECD average of 21 micro grams per cubic meter — and 95% of the population is satisfied with their water quality.
The Internet not only has the physical commodity, but also has the virtual products. The phone card can be recharged into the telephone and mobile phone. The game card can also pay money. For example, buy d3 gold act as the money and exchange more cheap d3 gold. Or by paying on line, the player can be a diablo iii account. As to the player, that is wonderful. It is easy to find where to sell Diablo 3 account
.

3 Canada
Canadians work only 1, 702 hours a year — less than the OECD average — with 72% of the population working at a paid job.
There is little difference in voting levels across society too, suggesting there is broad inclusion in Canada’s democratic institutions.
They said that it did not matter because the cheap rs gold could purchase the special skill and increase the level. 
4 Norway
There is a strong sense of community and high levels of safety in Norway, where 93% of people believe that they know someone they could rely on in a time of need.
Norwegians also tend to have a good work-life balance, with only 3% of employees working very long hours, compared to the OECD average of 9%.
5 Switzerland
86% of adults in Switzerland have earned the equivalent of a high school degree, and students scored 517 on the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment — higher than the average of 497.
The Swiss also have a high life expectancy at 83 years of age, and 95% of the population say they are satisfied with the quality of their water.

talking is an art


So what can your colleague -- or anyone else -- do to change speech patterns that may have become ingrained over many years? "Most people really don't need a total overhaul," Jahnke says. "They just need to correct one or two things."
diablo iii account is very important to every player. Therefore, many players always try various ways to making the money that is the d3 gold. Some players buy d3 gold and become a member to expand the methods of making d3 gold. Some players try their best to find the ways to sell Diablo 3 account. The members have more methods to making money than the non-members. 

She suggests the following four steps toward a more professional speaking style:
1. Seek out honest feedback. As with trying to change any behavior, the first step is to become aware of it. In her coaching sessions, Jahnke usually starts by videotaping a client talking and reviewing it with the client. "People are usually surprised when they watch and hear themselves," she says. "Most of us don't really know how we're coming across."
A trusted friend or coworker may be able to offer suggestions, or your company's human resources department may even provide a few professional coaching sessions -- especially for high-potential types like your teammate.
2. Join Toastmasters International. With 13,000 chapters in 16 countries, Toastmasters probably has a club near you. "It is a great organization, full of people who are seriously trying to improve their speaking skills in a friendly, collegial atmosphere," Jahnke says. "And it's free."
3. Study the speaking styles of successful people. "Women have so many more role models now than ever before, so it's easy to find executives whose speaking styles have helped to get them where they are today," notes Jahnke. She recommends checking out TED.com, which offers thousands of 20-minute talks by interesting people.
"Look up Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, or Melinda Gates," Jahnke suggests. "Or find YouTube videos of [Pepsico CEO] Indra Nooyi. Notice how they pace their speech, and how they use pauses. With some effort and practice, these are things anyone can learn."
4. Take note of how higher-ups at your company express their ideas. Naturally, communication styles vary somewhat from one corporate culture to another, so it makes sense to pay attention to how people above you talk. "If there is someone who is particularly effective at getting his or her ideas across, you might emulate the way they do it," says Jahnke.
"The idea is not to parrot someone else's speech patterns, but to adopt the elements of their style that you can comfortably learn to use," she adds. "In the end, it's still about expressing yourself and your unique ideas -- but your best self, presented in a way that will make others listen."
Talkback: Do you agree that the way someone speaks can make or break a career? What habits of speech do you find distracting or unprofessional? Leave a comment below.

a marvelous invention

A California teen has attracted the attention of tech giants Google for her potentially revolutionary invention which charges a phone in 20 seconds flat.
The super-fast charging device has been dubbed a supercapacitor by 18-year-old Esha Khare, of Saratoga - as she took home $50, 000 from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which took place in Phoenix this week.
The device will make waiting hours for a phone to charge a thing of the past and the gizmo packs more energy into a smaller space than traditional phone batteries and holds the charge for longer. Diablo 3 is similar to the real society. It also has the various functions. And in the world, roles also demand d3 gold as the money to buy what they need. Players buy d3 gold and exchange resource and skills. These are fair and transparent. Naturally, roles can mine resources and develop themselves skill.
So far, Khare has only used her supercapacitor to power a light-emitting diode or LED - but she sees a bright future that one day will see her invention powering cellphones, cars and any gadget that requires a rechargeable battery.
Heading to Harvard, Khare told CBS San Francisco that this is only the start and that she will 'be setting the world on fire' from here.
'My cellphone battery always dies, ' she told NBC News when asked what inspired her to work on the energy-storage technology.
Specializing in nanochemistry allowed Khare to reduce the size of her invention. 'Really working at the nanoscale to make significant advances in many different fields.'
The supercapacitor is flexible and tiny, and is able to handle 10, 000 recharge cycles, more than normal batteries by a factor of 10.
How an 18-year-old girl has managed to figure out something that multi-national corporations have not has led to her being flooded with offers for her amazing leap forward.
Google have been in contact with Khare to explore how she plans to change the makeup of cell phone battery life.

the operating about the brain

do you know how the brain work?


For the last 20 years neuroscientists have shown us compelling pictures of brain areas 'lighting up' when we see or hear, love or hate, plan or act. These studies were an important first step. But they also suggested a misleadingly simple view of how the brain works. They associated specific mental abilities with specific brain areas, in much the same way that phrenology, in the 19th century, claimed to associate psychological characteristics with skull shapes.
Most people really want to understand the mind, not the brain. Why do we experience and act on the world as we do? Associating a piece of the mind with a piece of the brain does very little to answer that question. After all, for more than a century we have known that our minds are the result of the stuff between our necks and the tops of our heads. Just adding that vision is the result of stuff at the back and that planning is the result of stuff in the front, it doesn't help us understand how vision or planning work.You can buy Diablo 3 account in the website called farmer100. There are high safety and reliability. As to the Diablo 3 account sell, all players will use at ease. The  cheap diablo 3 gold will give the more advantages for players.
But new techniques are letting researchers look at the activity of the whole brain at once. What emerges is very different from the phrenological view. In fact, most brain areas multitask; they are involved in many different kinds of experiences and actions. And the brain is dynamic. It can respond differently to the same events in different times and circumstances.

American Weddings are prevailing in China


If they’re not buying up LA and Orange County Barbie Dream Houses, they’re out scouring the best American private schools to prepare their teens for the Ivy Leagues. And now, they are all over the American wedding planner. Saying I do in Mandarin is not the same without it being followed by Buster Pointdexter’s Hot! Hot! Hot!
It is necessary process to set clear expectations. You must know clearly that who can do and who are doing and when he can finish it. These make you avoid repeating. For example, the leader arrange you write articles about Diablo 3 account for sale and  Diablo 3 account selling, so leader will cancel the task in his list.


“The rich in China today are looking beyond the usual luxury travel and are going after experiences, ” says Christine Lu, founder of Affinity China, a New York to LA to Shanghai firm that helps set up those unique experiences with Chinese travelers heading to the States. “They want to do things that the rest of the wealthy are not yet doing and getting married in California is one of them, ” she told Forbes in a recent interview.
Here’s the good news for young American wedding planners looking for adventure. The market for Chinese weddings in the U.S. is small, but growing. The market for Chinese in China looking for American wedding planners is booming.
Getting married in China is big business. About $57 billion is spent annually on 10 million weddings a year. The families spend on the usual: photographs, limos, wedding gowns and honeymoons — to the U.S. or at home. About a tenth of the total expense traditionally goes to the wedding banquet, according to the China Wedding Industry Development Report described in China Daily this weekend. Around 50% of the couples getting married are now turning to wedding planners to help organize the show, according to the website of Weddings Beautiful Worldwide, a 45 year old American firm that teaches how to be a planner.

EQ


Schools are trying to choose from a crowded pool of well-qualified applicants and get a sense of the human being behind the application by adding personality tests and scored, standardized in-person interviews to the traditional battery of essays, transcripts and recommendations. Now, prospective M.B.A. students need to shine by showing emotional traits like empathy, motivation, resilience and dozens of others.
Measuring EQ or emotional intelligence quotient is the latest attempt by business schools to identify future stars. Since students typically start their job hunts almost as soon as they arrive on campus, the schools have little time to fix any faults. If you like Diablo 3, you can know about it in the website of farmer100. You want to buy Diablo 3 account, and you can go to the farmer100. In the website, you must see the more information that you would like to gain, such as the guide and the advantages of diablo 3 account.
'Companies select for top talent with assessments like this, ' says Andrew Sama, senior associate director of M.B.A. admissions at University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business. 'If we are selecting for future business leaders, why shouldn't we be [using] similar tools?'
Since the fall of 2010, Mendoza applicants have been required to complete a 206-item online questionnaire called the Personal Characteristics Inventory. It screens them for traits the school has found in its most successful students and graduates, such as teamwork and leadership abilities.
It is difficult to determine the 'right' answers. For example, one item asks, 'What are your sources for new ideas?' The multiple-choice answers include 'reading, ' 'my own thoughts, ' 'subject-matter experts, ' 'family and friends' and 'people I work with.' Star students tend to provide the same responses, Mendoza says.

Can the legal fat be trimmed?



    One solution, he says, is for professors to teach more courses each academic year to cut back on law school salary budgets. Other schools could rely more on part-time professors and offer two-year degrees to shave the overall tuition bill.
(if you want to buy runescape gold, you can go to the farmer100. and you can see more information about the runescape and the guides. maybe you can see that where to buy cheap rs gold. and something useful will arouse your interests about the game.)
    Several prestigious law schools have targeted the third year for overhaul, including New York University's School of Law which, in October, agreed to open the third year of study to international experience, or work in a specialized area like environmental or antitrust law. Another cadre of students could choose to focus on specialties like patent or tax law.
    Washington and Lee Law School adopted a revamped third year approach, so students can work at law clinics or internships at outside locations. Stanford Law School also broadened its third-year curriculum for students to earn joint degrees with other university departments.
    McEntee, however, says that by using adjunct professors, who are typically practicing attorneys, teaching a course over a defined period of time, students could get the benefit of expertise and lower costs. Adjunct professors "don't have the time to commit to something long-term," he says.
    Another alternative, he outlines in his journal article, would be to develop law schools modeled after American military academies such as West Point. Students would receive a core liberal arts undergraduate education with a focus on preparing for law practice, says McEntee.
    "It’s unlikely," he concedes, "that many existing law schools would adopt this practice. It would probably work better for new schools."

Money Is Not the Most Important Aspect of a Job



Many factors decide what career to pursue and which job to take. Some think that money is the most important aspect of a job, but I consider that some other aspects are more important.
At first, we should follow our desire to choose the job. When you are interested in it, you will be more understanding. At the same time, you are satisfied. Second, the destinations of working are different. If you work for making money, money will be the most important. If you want to have a promising, you need make your mind to learn skills.

wealth


Almost all people are eager to the wealth. It is true that they attempt to acquire wealth by means of the work. Some people can gain more wealth with their intelligence. Some people can get a little. But we cannot say that they who is happiness and who is not happiness. However, who can say that the labor does not bring the good feelings.
It is no doubt that wealth brings happiness in the modern society. The wealth can improve our life or we can use money to buy something that we like. But the wealth cannot stand for the happiness.
But wealth does always not go hand in hand with happiness. Wealth may encourage that weak-willed person to be addicted to some harmful habits such as drug taking or gambling and bring about their own ruin. Also a person may lose his reason and go astray if he is passionately devoted to seeking wealth. Therefore, one can never count on wealth to achieve happiness.
Real happiness is got by ourselves. And we work hard in the valid methods. In the process of pursuing, we can experience the happiness. Such as in the runescape, the players can buy cheap rs gold to upgrade the level. Maybe you can get some feeling of happiness.

Life in my college


Everyone always remembers the missed and young time. Once you step into the society, you will cherish those memories about the youth and freedom. In the job and life, you will suffer from various stresses and difficulties
In the college time, it is the best time of all. At that time, we are youth and brave. We never considered the diary necessities, and never care about the house price. And it seems that they are completely cut out of the campus. In the campus, there is most wonderful thing. That is the youth. 
As youth, I was never afraid. And I can do everything what we want to do. I could ask the mobile phone number of the strangers ignoring others eyes. Now I no longer did it like that. Maybe that is a kind of recklessness, but it is a state that youth is invincible. In those days, I was always energetic and full of passion. I would like to try different life and experience different cultures. Of course, some of these thoughts were come true. Nonetheless, ever having these thoughts is also good. Youth is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotion. 
Having class is a part of the college. Once, an article said that the tuition fee of every year is 10000 yuan, and how many are there every day? And how much would you spend on the one class? In fact, a class is expensive. Because I saw the article, in order to not waste the money and make them worth, I almost did not truant. I rejoice I did that. In the class, the classmates often appeared the troubles. For example, the teacher usually call the roll at the beginning, so many classmates truanted in the second class. Sometimes, the teacher changed the time of calling the roll, so that students were found. Calling the roll is a headache to the truants all the time. 
The free time in the college is very much. After class, I always did some things. In the majority situation, I stayed with my roommates. Maybe only talking together, playing cards and going shopping, but we all felt happy and relax. I believe that it is nice time which we will never forget. We owned the purest happiness together. Girls often chatted in the dormitory. What did the boys do in the dormitory? Yes, play games. Such as runescape, wow and dota. They usually bought runescape money with the RMB. To buy cheap rs goldthey preferred less spending in the other aspects of life. They said that it did not matter because the cheap rs gold could purchase the special skill and increase the level. I just said that interest had difference. 
The activities were held by the different group. But my roommates and I were not interested in them. The number of attending the activities was limited. It is said that love is required course in the college. The campus had the atmosphere of love. Some people harvested love, and some did not. 
The life of college is beautiful and has gone. What it left is only the beautiful memory. Never forget it!
