Become A Man's Man With These 65 Life Hacks From Goldman Sachs
Investment banking firm Goldman Sachs has published a list of bite-sized tips designed to turn you into the ultimate man. (Apparently, a healthy dose of sexism towards women is a pre-requisite.) Photo: AMC What does it mean to be a man today? @GSElevator and NetNet’s John Carney have attempted to break down the chief rules that every man should live by. As you’d expect from Goldman Sachs, there’s a distinct Wall Street/white collar vibe to many of these pearls of wisdom — you should always tip more than you need to, for example, and your sunglasses need to be incredibly expensive. Some of the advice also seems to have come straight out of the 1960s-set TV show Mad Men (“When in doubt, always kiss the girl”, “Hookers aren’t cool, but remember, the free ones are a lot more expensive.” ) We’ve also omitted some of the more overtly US-centric tips such as the best “rest rooms” in New York.

equations The 10 Best Games for Learning About the Stock Market Much like skydiving, playing the stock market is not an activity you want to learn through your mistakes. Fortunes are made and lost all the time by people who think (or thought) they had a handle on stock trading. If you have a few million you can afford to lose, or you're investing with someone else's money (you're a bank, in other words), by all means, jump right in. But for the other 99%, we recommend simulating the experience of stock market investing first, to learn what to do and not do with your hard-earned cash. Here are the 10 best games to help you do that. WeSeed:While some of the games on this list may be more concerned with purveying entertainment than education, WeSeed's No. 1 goal is to teach people about the stock market and take the fear out of investing.

Секрет китайского воздержания Китай дважды отказался выбрать в ООН сторону в конфликте, развернувшемся вокруг Крыма. В первый раз это произошло 15 марта, когда Совбез ООН пытался «наказать» Россию санкциями. 27 марта во время голосования на Генеральной ассамблее (ГА) ООН в поддержку территориальной целостности Украины представитель КНР вновь воздержался. Стабильный нейтралитет был оценен руководством России, да и самому Пекину принес немалую пользу. В целом, Китаю свойственно подобное поведение: Пекин старается не вмешиваться в геополитические игры, не касающиеся его непосредственно. Однако есть ряд обстоятельств, говорящих о том, что в данном случае китайское «воздержание» равнозначно поддержке действий России в отношении Крыма. В свое время Дэн Сяопин сформулировал суть внешней политики Пекина, использовав всего 24 иероглифа. Однако в данном случае речь шла уже не о санкциях против, допустим, зимбабвийского диктатора Роберта Мугабе (Москва и Пекин дружно ветировали этот проект в 2008 году), а о самой России.
