Perforce Unplugged: Central and Distributed Versioning and distributed versio...Perforce
This document discusses distributed version control systems (DVCS) and introduces Perforce's solution called P4Sandbox. P4Sandbox allows for connection independent versioning through local private branching and task branching. It replicates the central repository locally to allow offline work and easy branching for tasks. When reconnecting, changes are automatically synced between the local and central copies.
Augmented reality involves overlaying contextual information on top of the real world using technology. It exists between virtual reality and mediated reality. Augmented reality applications allow information like real estate listings to be localized on maps or viewed through mobile cameras, overlaying digital content on the real environment. One example is an application that integrates real estate listings from a website into the Layar reality browser, allowing users to see listings positioned on maps or through their device cameras.
The document discusses several economic issues in Nigeria that impact personal income. It notes that high and unstable inflation leads to higher costs of goods and services that encroach on personal budgets. Income increases often do not keep pace with inflation. Substandard goods flooding the market means assets break down quickly, requiring replacement spending. Poor infrastructure like roads and electricity forces spending on maintaining generators and vehicles. Lack of social security means supporting extended family, increasing dependency. Unemployment leads to supporting others. Social pressures to spend on appearances further strain budgets. Polygamy, high education costs, business failures from not distinguishing capital from profit, fraud, and corruption also reduce personal funds available.
The document summarizes housing market trends in Toronto from 2008-2011 using several charts. It shows MLS sales, new listings, average prices, and the sales to new listings ratio over time. The ratios and prices indicate that 2011 saw higher sales volumes and prices compared to previous years. Affordability is also addressed, with the share of income needed for housing shown rising over the period.
The document is a collection of letters from a father to his son about life lessons learned from Sachin Tendulkar's cricket career and character. The father advises accepting decisions gracefully like Sachin, facing challenges bravely instead of escaping, and finding the good in others. He also shares lyrics inspired by Sachin's dedication and humility.
The document announces a new SPLIT BOOSTER program beginning December 1, 2009 that allows distributors to gain active status for 3 months and receive gift products worth 115 CV by placing an order of 570 CV or more. The CV amount will be split equally over the 3 months. Repeated purchases can also be split this way. Commissions will be allocated over the 3 months. Failing to place an order in the next 6 months will result in the distributor's structure shifting to their sponsor, while failing in 12 months will cancel their contract. It also details new terms for VIP2S and VIP Master qualifications beginning January 1, 2010.

The U.S. Commercial Service helps U.S. businesses export goods and services overseas through various services: they provide market research, identify potential international partners, offer counseling on legal/regulatory issues, and arrange trade missions. They have experts in over 100 U.S. cities and 83 countries worldwide. Services include the Gold Key program which sets up meetings for businesses overseas, an international partner search to identify qualified partners, and promotion of products in overseas trade publications and events. All services aim to help businesses enter new markets and increase international sales.
PNC Trade Finance Solutions has partnered with the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank) for over 40 years to provide innovative financing solutions that boost U.S. exports.

Five Common Export Myths
Noel Nevshehir
Director of International Business Services
Automation Alley
Troy, Michigan
1
2. Export Myths
Myth One: My company is to small to export. Only large firms with name
recognition, abundant resources, and formal export departments can
export successfully
Fact: While its true that large firms typically account for far more total
exports, the vast majority of exporting firms are SMEs
Myth Two: I cannot afford to export. I don't have the money for hiring new
employees, for marketing abroad, or expanding production for new
business
Fact: There are various low-cost ways to market and promote
abroad, handle new export orders, and finance receivables. In many
cases, it does not require hiring new staff or setting up a trade
department. At little or no cost for example, you can receive product and
country market research, worldwide market exposure, trade leads, and
find overseas distributors through various public- and private-sector
resources
2
3. Export Myths
Myth Three: I cannot compete with large overseas
companies because my products are unknown and my
prices are too high for foreign markets.
Fact: If the product is known in the domestic market then it’s a
plus point but even an unknown product can be exported in a
foreign market. Low demand of a product doesn’t indicates that it
will be also not accepted in the international market. Price is also
an important, but it is not the only selling point. Other competitive
factors play a large role including quality, service, and consumer
taste
Myth Four: Exporting is too risky and I may not get paid
Fact: Selling anywhere has risks even in the domestic market.
However payment risks can be managed, mitigated and even
guaranteed with financial tools such as letters of credit
3
4. Export Myths
Myth 5: Exporting is too complicated and I won’t understand the
legal code and regulatory requirements
Fact: You don't need to be an expert to export for the first time. There
are abundant of resources available that help first time exporters
about the ins and outs of expanding your market overseas
