Lee Jae-yong banned from group’s management for five years after being released from jail

Before I begin with today’s post, please remember that on Friday’s I focus on quirky and weird results that are not meant to be taken seriously. But if you are a corporate executive or director of a company and can’t laugh about yourself, you shouldn’t read this one.

Okay, now that the people who have no sense of humour left, I want to show you a study that made me smile. There is growing evidence that there is a partial link between our genes and risk-taking in general. As I have described here, people with a specific genetic make-up of the Dopamine Receptor D4 gene take on 25% more risk in all kinds of risk tasks ranging from financial risk-taking to risky activities like para shooting or car racing. They are also more likely to become addicted to drugs and alcohol since they are constantly seeking the next thrill.

However, they are also more likely to become self-employed, entrepreneurs, or achieve high managerial positions in business. Risk-takers take on more risks (duh) in their profession and while many of them fail, there are some that will be successful, and they are rewarded with promotions.

Thus, when two researchers from Yale and Purdue University looked at the correlation between the genetic make-up of corporate managers, CEOs, and directors and other activities and skills, they found that these high achievers all were more likely to engage in riskier activities outside the boardroom. In fact, below is the list of traits that have the highest correlation with being a manager at a corporation. The factors that had the highest correlations were a tendency to speed while driving, drinking alcohol, having many sexual partners and a high metabolic rate (they are literally hot-blooded).

Correlation between being a manager and other activities and skills

The above chart shows correlations for all kinds of managers, but what if we restrict the sample to CEOs and directors? Well, the same traits emerge, just this time speeding while driving, having more sexual partners and a high metabolic rate are even more pronounced than other traits.

So, the next time you meet a sex-crazed, sports car-driving, drinking, and generally ill-tempered CEO, rest assured, he cannot help himself. He was born that way…

And this probably makes sense

Organo Clay or Bentone for use in making K-Bond Sand. 20# of VG-Plus (Bentone) for $82 incl. shipping. 20lbs is enough to make 330lbs of K-bond sand. 10lbs for $50 based on current UPS simple rates. PM me for smaller quantities.

K-Bond is named for Kent State where it was developed by one of Tom Cobett's Students.
It is an almost smokeless oil bonded foundry sand for casting zinc, aluminum, brass, bronze and iron.

Our daily roundup of analyst and fund manager commentary on shares.

And extreme weather blows out catastrophe insurance losses to $40bn.

Hi Folks,
I just picked up a 220 volt radial arm saw that draws 9 amps and has a 15 amp plug on it.
I also have an unused circuit that it could plug into that previously ran a planer. It is a 30amp circuit with a 30amp receptacle on it and has 10 gauge wire.

1. Should the breaker be replaced with a 20amp or 15amp so that it is closer to the draw from the saw? My understanding is that the breaker shouldn't be much higher than needed.
2. What is normal practice or code for matching the breaker, receptacle, an plug? It is difficult to find information for matching up the plug and receptacle for 220. If for example if I go to 20amps, would it be a problem to use the 15amp plug and outlet. Most of the information seems to dwell on 15 amp outlets on 20 amp circuits for 110v.

Any help would be appreciated so that I can get the right pieces and get it wired.

3. Unrelated, does anyone go through "Jointing" planer or jointer blades after sharpening and installation? From what I gather, after installing blades a stone is lowered to the blades on a running machine to grind a slight micro bevel and make sure that all blades extend the same amount. This seems like a very scary operation to be that close to a running cutterhead and I would guess that most people send out the blades for sharpening and nothing more. I have an old 18 inch yates armerican planer and the manual says to do the jointing.

thanks,

Stevo

El formato del cuchillo es debido a un diseño que habia hecho hace dos años atrás. Me ponia a dibujar diseños "extravagantes" o por lo menos muy vistosos... los iba guardando y me los olvidé en mi pieza.
Los encontré hace un mes y éste es uno de los que me lancé a hacer.

A pesar de todo, la parte que mas me agrada es la empuñadura con una defensa muy gorda, aunque podria llegar a molestar el dedo indice al usarse por mucho tiempo.

Ojala les guste!

Saludos.

Buenas, amigos de los filos, otra restauración cargada de imágenes (ahora que no las necesito revelar).

Estuvo bastante tiempo a la venta, al final me fijé en ella. Era como para pensarselo, su estado no era el idoneo, sentí su llamada y la adopté sin más.

Antes de evaluar mis opciones la limpié un poco.

Podía continuar para dejarla bonita pero las holguras seguirían ahí, opté por el camino largo.

Sus cachas acrilicas eran muy finas, había que ser muy cuidadoso. Mecanicé asientos nuevos para enrasar posteriormente.

Repasé cada componente y comencé a montar.

Los muelles de carbono fueron pavonados de nuevo.

El remachado me tuvo acojonado, no tenía margen de error.

Antes del pulido final.

Lista pués, a la pasarela...

Clásico sacacorchos ranurado.

Sus cuños.

La delgadez de cachas, forros y separador, más el fino ajuste la hace muy compacta.

Con sus útiles expuestos.

Acto seguido le haré una funda de cuero fino de la época, la mostraré en este post.

Espero que sea de vuestro agrado, feliz fin de semana, saludos.

PACO.

Recién terminada la funda bolsillera.

Junto a la vieja funda y una colega también alemana que fué recientemente presentada.

La KMF con útiles similares es más voluminosa.

Me ha quedado un tamden de lujo. Que tiempos...

Pasadlo bién, un saludo.

PACO.
