After all, perhaps no one is better able to provide an initial industry categorization than those who are paid to study public companies in detail. Given that, I chose instead to rely on the industry categorizations that investment analysts give to companies. Many practitioners make those selections with standard industrial classification or North American Industry Classification System codes however, in my experience, that leads to an excessive number of companies to screen that are not even closely comparable to the tested party. Selecting the initial companies to include in the search is important. The goal is to focus on companies specializing in distribution, supply chain, and logistics functions, rather than vertically integrated providers that also develop and manufacture products. It also targets companies distributing maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) products for construction use, such as fasteners, material handling equipment, and power tools. The benchmark seeks to provide a range of companies distributing an array of construction distribution products, such as roofing insulation interior fixtures and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) products. The goal is to have a set of companies that might be comparable to a tested party that performs distribution of building materials and ancillary items used in residential and commercial construction. I started by identifying the North American construction distributors that I wanted to benchmark. Although all figures have been double-checked, I lack the manpower and expensive tools that consulting companies use in guaranteeing complete accuracy for their clients. Practitioners should always double-check data and validate company financials before using them in transfer pricing analyses and should not rely solely on the data in this article. This article uses data-mining techniques to pull data from companies’ Forms 10-K. Practitioners should always examine each company before deciding whether it would be comparable to the tested party. Certainly, the facts and circumstances of individual intercompany transactions should be scrutinized against the series content to make an informed decision on the intercompany transaction at hand. This series could be used as a starting point for evaluating comparable companies. This series also attempts to take the complexity out of benchmarking analyses that use expensive tools, demonstrating that all practitioners could perform benchmarking analyses using information and tools that are likely already at their disposal. Enter this series of articles, meant to provide tax practitioners worldwide with suggestions for transfer pricing benchmarking and information for the most widely used CPM intercompany transactions. Given the proliferation of publicly available data, free screening tools, and data-mining techniques, now is the time to provide clients with corroborative benchmarks and data. On the other hand, taxpayers continue to pay for a service that has nearly become commoditized and yet still lacks publicly available secondary resources for practitioners. On the one hand, that benefits multinationals by significantly decreasing the turnaround time for benchmarking studies. However, most consulting firms have already standardized the process with dozens of off-the-shelf benchmarks that can be provided to clients on request. For transactions driven by the comparable profits method, a search generally is required for identifying companies that are comparable to the tested party. One key aspect of nearly all transfer pricing documentation is a benchmarking analysis. As compliance requirements have risen, consultancies have turned to automation and standardization of nearly all documentation work, decreasing their costs of performance. Multinational groups are required to issue transfer pricing documentation reports in more jurisdictions than ever before, leading to increased compliance costs. Transfer pricing has shifted toward a compliance-driven world. In this article, part of a series providing transfer pricing benchmarks that can be replicated by practitioners using readily available public data, Hughes considers a North American construction distribution benchmark for transfer pricing. Andrew Hughes is an economist specializing in transfer pricing and valuation.

Anderson asked the waiter to put the “Raw” comedian’s tab on his credit card. In a 2017 interview with SiriusXM’s “ Sway in the Morning,” the Emmy winner recalled dining at Hollywood hot spot the Ivy in the 1980s and seeing Murphy dining with his entourage. They said, ‘Who would you rather work with?’ I said, ‘Louie.’ ”īut Anderson, who reprised his role in the 2021 sequel, “Coming 2 America,” had distinguished himself to Murphy with an act of kindness. They gave me a list with three white guys. Hall said they were initially given a choice of three Caucasian comedians. “ like, ‘There has to be a white person in the movie.’ I was like, ‘What?’ So who was the funniest white guy around? We knew Louie was cool, so that’s how Louie got in the movie.” Louie Anderson (right) with John Amos, who played his boss Cleo McDowell, in “Coming 2 America.” The sequel to “Coming to America” was released last year. Murphy backed up his celluloid sidekick’s account. “We were forced to put in a white person.” “I love Louie, but I think we were forced to put Louie in it,” Hall, 65, told Jimmy Kimmel in 2021 while promoting the sequel. In reality, Anderson’s life-changing role in the 1988 classic came courtesy of his Midwestern values and a lack of melanin in his skin. In a year or two, I’ll make assistant manager, and that’s when the big bucks start rolling in.” “Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys,” Maurice told Prince Akeem and Semmi (played by Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall). In “Coming to America,” Louie Anderson, who lost his battle with cancer at 68, played Maurice, the aspiring assistant manager of McDowell’s who enthusiastically worked his way up the ladder by learning the finer points of fast food. ‘Baskets’ star says playing a mom opened his eyesĬhip Baskets is TV’s weirdest rodeo clown Louie Anderson, Emmy-winning comedian, dead at 68Įddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall forced to put white actor in ‘Coming to America’ They lined up the words and started putting graphs with them that they thought would match. In my first class, every group saw the word cards as “categories” that the other cards should be sorted into. Students opened the binder clips and start spreading the cards out on the table. Arrange them in a way that makes the most sense.” The instructions for the activity were simply, “Here are some cards. The amount of cards seemed like a lot (to the students) when they first examined them, but it was manageable, fit on their tables, and took a reasonable amount of time. The 3 pages seemed to have the right total number of cards. Having balanced and unbalanced forces as descriptions helped make connections with acceleration during later discussions and connected the work we are doing now to everything else we have done so far this year. The original activity didn’t ask students to do a written description of the motion, so adding in the word cards helped connect students to even more representations. All of them were great solutions, and having so many blank cards made it feel low stakes to try something when they had an idea./ Some made the “missing” x-t and v-t graphs for the cards that didn’t have matches. Some made extra copies of the words to make the grouping fit their concept. Some groups used them for making extra acceleration-time graphs. Having 6 blank cards is a lot, and I wanted to keep the options open for how they would be used. That helped make the “solution” to the card sort more ambiguous and prompted some use of the blank cards. Some of the v-t and x-t graphs don’t have any matches with other graphs. Some of the graphs showed multi-part motion, adding in some of the complexity of the original activity. It also helped bring up the idea of not being able to tell the starting position from a v-t graph, objects not being at 0 m at 0 s, and positive/negative direction versus positive/negative position. There are multiple x-t graphs showing the same motion, so groups would realize that this wasn’t a pairing activity after a while. I hoped to prompt conversations about the meaning of the acceleration and especially the sign of the acceleration, and that did happen in most (maybe all-I couldn’t hear all of the conversations at once) groups. I only included 2 acceleration-time graphs. Here’s a pile of the cards from all of my groups. (If I had easy access to a laminator, I would have laminated the cards that aren’t blank for easier re-use in the future.) I copied a set for each group, cut them out, and clipped one group’s cards together with a small binder clip. I copied these pages onto card stock paper so they would hold up through at least a few days of use. I made the graphs using GraphSketcher.Īnd here are those pages as a Google Doc that you can copy to your own drive and then edit yourself. The blank cards are intentional (see below). Here are the pages that I used to make the cards. I decided to make the stacks of curves activity into a card sort so that students could immediately jump into the discussion instead of having to generate the graphs themselves first. So in my redesign of the Physics 10 course, I wondered about how to streamline the activity and activate the most value for the most students as early as possible. Completing the page only helps a few students while the discussion helps many, many more students. It takes a while to get through, and it’s pretty challenging. It’s a great activity with great discussion. Here’s a screenshot sample of my old page that I hope will me into the minimum amount of trouble. It’s two pages long and has students translate 16 different sets of graphs (8 starting with x-t graphs and 8 starting with v-t graphs). I updated it a bit with new graphs and to add in some questions about forces since I’ve moved Balanced Forces ahead of Constant Acceleration. The Modeling Instruction canon materials have a worksheet that asks students to translate kinematics graphs into other representations. What are you talking about with these Stacks of Kinematics Curves? First up: the kinematics stacks of curves. I will try to update this blog with each of the new activities and changes as I have time. It is the first year we are teaching a yearlong physics class to everyone (10th graders) in my school as the result of a big curriculum redesign in science, and the first time back to teaching a course like this in a few years for me. I’ve been making major updates and changes to my materials in the intro physics course this year. This happens sometimes when we use the vortex while using the Khador Drive. The problem is that after the vortex gets used and stops to recharge the 'slow' sound effects still remain and don't go away. In GoF2 HD, if you use the Rhoda Vortex all the sound effects become slow.this glitch could be repeated indefinitly. Then if they went back to Kaamo and immediately switched to an expesive ship and back to the Wasp, the wasp that they already had in their hangar would be a duplicate of the expensive ship. The player would have to buy an extra of a cheap ship that they already owned, the best place would be in the Loma system on Quineros where you can buy a cheap Wasp. Before a patch in July of 2011 there was a glitch that allowed a player with Kaamo Club to get infinite money.If this happens in the last mission of the main storyline when the K'Sarr freighter piloted by Erkkt Uggut is jammed, you can do this to start over. Sometimes freighters and battlecruisers act as if they were neutralized by an EMP, and will allow you to steal the goods from the vessel without anyone attacking you.This happens most often on earlier generation iOS devices. Sometimes after using a booster, the screen will still quiver and shake.After doing so, if you dock at a space station and leave, your wingman will have the items back in his cargo hold. If you hire a wingman and use an EMP on him, you will recieve the items that are stored in his ship.In Galaxy on Fire 2, if you use a booster while using the Khador Drive, a little purple wormhole will appear and you will go throught it instead of the light graphic.Please try to take a screenshot of the glitch or list steps to reproduce the glitch to strengthen it's authenticity.

Click Export to start saving Premiere Pro as MP4. Set the file name and the save path by clicking the Output Name. Choose a Preset for your MP4 video under Preset option. Select H.264 from the drop-down list of Format. Go to File > Export > Media from the top menu bar to open export settings panel. If you're very familiar with Premiere Pro, then you can follow the basic steps below to export Premiere Pro to MP4: That means your viewers will be able to watch your stunning video regardless of how strong or fast their internet signal may be. In addition to its compatibility, mp4 files compress the video data just enough to make it easily playable without hurting quality. So whether you want to play the video on your computer, or share it to YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp, you can export Premiere Pro project to MP4 first. It has so far the optimal compatibility with media players, mobiles, TVs, PCs, tablets and gaming systems. Although there are some exceptions, mp4 is the best format to export a video from Premiere Pro. The best format for exporting Premiere Pro video to largely depends on what you want to do with the file. How Adobe Premiere Pro Export Videos to MP4 for Various Platforms Why choose MP4 as the best export format from Premiere Pro? Alternative Way to Export Premiere Pro as MP4 by Converting How Adobe Premiere Pro Export Videos to MP4 for Various Platforms - Basic & Detailed Steps Selecting a region changes the language and/or content on. You can reduce the file’s resolution or data rate to help with this. If you’re uploading video content, you want to publish the best video quality possible that will be accessible to the largest possible audience. While some large high-resolution files might play well on high-quality PCs, creators of video content also have to remember many people watch videos on smartphones, older PCs, or with slower Wi-Fi or cellular connections. But if you plan to host the video yourself or want it smaller to share the file more easily, reducing the size of video files is helpful for your audience. Most social sites like Facebook and YouTube will make your video smaller for playback across a variety of devices when you upload. Then, when you export, Media Encoder will automatically switch back to using your high-resolution sources. Compress video files to a more manageable format like MP4, helping make your workflow more efficient. You might create proxy files, which use a lower data rate but maintain the aspect ratio, for a smoother editing experience. Many video files, like those from a high-end camera, are large and can demand a lot from your machine while you edit, whether you work in Windows or on a Mac. If you are working with high-resolution source files, such as 4K video, reducing the file size of videos also saves time in production. Why a smaller file size is the right video size. And Adobe Media Encoder provides an easy way to compress video file size with as little visible quality loss as possible or changing the aspect ratio. Video compression can solve this problem. Large files can put a strain on system resources while editing or viewing large videos, slowing everything down. Working with video files can quickly show you the limitations of your computer. The married wood oxen should not quarrel with their lovers for the sake of their children and they should cherish their love and their family, and communicate more with their lovers and family members. Wood oxen should pay attention to the following: first, don't fall into the bad habit of gambling secondly, don't dispute with others because of money matters or lend money to others thirdly, buy some practical items fourthly, don't quarrel with the lover because of daily affairs. In addition, they lack fast luck in wealth, so they'd better not engage in speculative industry or guarantee for others. The following table shows the 60-year cycle matched up to the Gregorian calendar for the years 19242043. They always get help from others when they are in troubles. For example, a person born a Tiger is 12, 24, 36, (etc.) years old in the year of the Tiger (2022) in the year of the Rabbit (2023), that person is one year older. But they have favorable luck in wealth, especially in middle age, and they may succeed if they can make wise use of opportunities. Generally, wood oxen are unlikely to get a lot of heritage and they need to rely on themselves. If they can change their disadvantages and try to make improvements, they will be successful in career. Also, wood oxen always take the trifles to their heart and they are not straightforward. If they can be down-to-earth, they will make some achievements. Because of their stubborn personality, they are unlikely to express their inner passion, so it's hard to walk into their inner world.īeing introvert and unsocial, wood oxen are so stubborn that they never give in. But they are not good at expressing themselves, especially in love. Wood oxen are born to be conservative, and they are stable, delicate mind sensitive, making people feel they are elegant. In addition, wood oxen are impatient although they learn a lot of knowledge, they only master little, so they need to restrain themselves to get a lot more. However, wood oxen are often too strong-minded, straightforward and upright, thus usually offend people or being used, which is their disadvantage. Being righteous and courageous, they like to defend against injustice and fight for the weak against the strong, and they can take good care of their friends selflessly. Wood oxen are merciful, upright, easy-going and generous, and they have the courage to face difficulties.

The first time went smooth and the sweater was true to description (although in my opinion still over priced at $170 for what it was). This is very insightful and true about this company. They pictures are pretty nice and they make the clothes look pretty good. On top of that they sell it for "Bonobos" prices but without the quality. Selling really cheaply made clothes that are probably imported from some country somewhere where a company make a bunch of cheap crap and sells it to other companies that pretend that's it's their designs. I don't really like to be taken advantage of and I regret having spent any money on C2C. Looking more into it, there not many reviews online for C2C and the few that are there are pretty much negative. I got a bad taste in my mouth about this company. Not a very insightful answer nor really believable. They told me that they work closely with Zenfari and that they make exclusive stuff for them. I wrote to C2C customer service and asked them why the same shirt had two different makers tags inside. It's a really bad looking site with cheesy outdoor style clothes that were equally as overpriced as C2C clothes. The large shirt didn't have a c2c tag though, the printed on tag was from a company called "Zenfari" plus there was a somewhat cheesy tag on the right sleeve and another on the hem of the shirt. The thing I noticed was that the medium shirt had the Carbon2cobalt tag in the shirt. I got the shirts and tried them on and decided on the large over the medium. I ordered a Polo in two sizes to see which one will fit better and then return the other one. A month or so later they started to have their summer sale and I bought a couple more things even though I should have known better. By cheesy I mean, sewn in fabric to make it look like you are wearing a shirt below the shirt you are wearing, that kind of thing. Fabrics are a lot thinner and the overall styling seemed a little cheesy once you actually held the garment and inspected it. They seemed a little above Old Navy quality. I liked the shirts I got but in the back of my mind I was thinking that for the price they should have been better quality. I didn't like pattern and the material it was made from so I returned it. I liked most of what I got but there was one shirt that didn't live up to the promise of the catalog. They looked comfy, relaxed, and quietly stylish. I looked at the catalog and I actually really liked the clothes. I received their catalog a few months ago out of the blue.

Nikon cameras tend to have easy-to-navigate menu systems that suit novice and experienced users. It's an excellent starter camera at a reasonable price, especially if you can do without 4k video and blazing-fast burst rates-though you may have to look at the used market to find one since it's been discontinued. There's a wide array of native lens options available, too, including full-frame FX-mount lenses, making it easy to upgrade your kit as your skills improve. What makes the D3500 stand out among beginner cameras, though, is its unique 'Guide' shooting mode, which guides you through the basics of photography in simple, accessible terms, so you can learn the ropes as you go.īesides its simplicity and ease of use, the camera has an amazing battery life and punches above its weight for image quality, thanks to an excellent high-resolution APS-C sensor. The simple controls and intuitive user interface are great for those just getting started, and it's relatively portable for a DSLR. While the Nikon D3500 is a very basic camera, it's one of the best cameras on the market for beginners. If that isn't a dealbreaker, this is a great budget vlogging cam. That said, the camera doesn't have the best battery life and can struggle with overheating with longer takes in 4k. In addition, you get vlogging-friendly features like a fully articulated touchscreen, large video recording button, and a stereo mic on the top plate that sounds surprisingly good for a built-in microphone. However, it uses a similar sensor, so image and video quality are comparable. Unlike those models, which are pricier, it doesn't have a viewfinder, so it's less versatile for photography. With a relatively portable design that doesn't compromise on the ergonomics that make Nikon cameras such a joy to handle, it nicely rounds out Nikon's entry-level mirrorless offerings alongside the Nikon Z 50 and the Nikon Z fc. Though it's Nikon's first dedicated vlogging camera, the Nikon Z 30 is a great contribution to the slew of affordable vlogging cams on the market today. |
