![]() ![]() This study intends to fill these gaps by investigating the extent to which a host country's connections to its former colonies acts as a location factor for foreign investments in headquarter activities of MNCs. This is particularly true for European countries whose governments intensively subsidize investments in high value-added activities by multinational corporations (MNCs), as a means of retaining their location advantages for those activities. Given the sensitivity of these activities for the company, and the importance of receiving and maintaining such FDI establishments for the host countries, it is imperative and relevant that we improve our understanding of the factors that drive FDI location choices for such activities (fDi Intelligence, 2020). This is particularly true for FDI used to establish affiliates that provide headquarter (HQ) activities to the other businesses of the foreign investors (intermediate or regional headquarters Pla-Barber et al., 2021). However, the role that these connections with former colonies play in making a host country more attractive as an FDI recipient from foreign firms has received little attention in international business (IB) studies. It is not a coincidence that these special connections and the ease of doing business in the former colonies accord privileges to some European countries in influencing the attraction of FDI. As a result, associations persist in the form of special economic connections (UNCTAD, 2016), concessions for ease of business practice (Jones & Khanna, 2006), or strong FDI links (Haberly & Wojcik, 2015) between Europe and its former colony countries. Many European countries were deeply involved in colonialism in the past, with some exerting and wielding tremendous economic and political influence over the years as colonial centers. We emphasize how the former colonial influence continues to confer advantages upon some countries, including the attraction of FDI. We contribute to the literature by advancing the understanding of foreign headquarter location choices, and by demonstrating the importance of historical context in international business research. The study findings support the hypothesis that past colonial relationships and historical context influence FDI decisions and location preferences. We refer to this combined characteristic as colonial-based connectivity. Drawing on a sample of 2230 foreign headquarter investments in Europe, we find that the stronger the combined effect of historical connections and current economic relationships with former colonies, the higher the probability of attracting headquarter investment projects. The strategic role of foreign headquarters as coordinators, opportunity detectors, and global bridgeheads makes the location choice of headquarter activities sensitive to historical-based institutional connections. In this study, we argue that European countries’ extensive relationships with former colonies represent a location factor that attracts foreign headquarter investments. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The Solo Ship soon flees Solo using its powerful DS Drive engines and, after a fight in sub space with the Buff Clan, arrives at the planet Saurus Star. The Buff Clan have searched the universe for this legendary existence, which is what powers both the Ideon and the Solo Ship. Karala tells everyone of the Legend of Ide, a story of the Buff Clan's savior, who saved them with the power of the Ide. Karala and Mayaya are soon discovered to be aliens, and while Mayaya is killed, Bes has taken a liking to Karala and she is allowed to live, although Sheryl and others distrust her. The pilots Tekuno and Bento soon join Cosmo and Kasha as pilots of the Ideon's 3 parts and Moera soon replaces Bes as another pilot. Other civilians who quickly get onboard the Solo Ship include Sheryl Formosa, a linguist studying the civilization on Solo Sheryl's sister, Lin Banda Lotta three children: Piper Lou, Ashura Nobaku, and Fard Maraka mechanic Joliver Ira, pilot Hatari Naburu and Moera Fatima. The survivors flee inside the Solo Ship and Karala and Mayaya, who are mistaken by Bes as a colonist, are let onboard as well. ![]() Gije and his partner Damido, meeting up with the leader of their expedition, Abadidi Gurimade, soon launch more attacks on the planet Solo in an attempt to capture the Ideon (which they refer to as the 'Giant God'). Bes Jordan, leader of the sparse military force stationed on Solo, orders that the Ideon tanks be armed with missiles, but while this is happening, the cities on Solo are obliterated by Buff Clan soldiers. This is a short respite, though, as another force is sent down soon after. Cosmo Yuki, the afro-wearing protagonist of the series, and his friends Kasha Imhof and Deck Afta climb aboard the three tanks, which activate on their own, and, when they initially combine to form the Ideon, fend off the first assault, repelling Gije's men. Assuming the "aliens" (Earthling colonists) have attacked Karala, the Buff Clan begins to attack. She is pursued closely by soldiers sent by Gije, but they lose sight of her. Karala, the youngest daughter of the Buff Clan's military commander, Doba Ajiba, flies down to the planet against orders with her assistant Mayaya to investigate (her commanding officer, Gije, is reluctant to go with her due to her standing and the fact that he once was a soldier under her father). Suddenly, a humanoid alien civilization known as the Buff Clan comes across Solo. For six months, they have diligently restored the machines, but have failed to get the giant tanks to move. They also come across a large spaceship known as the Solo Ship. On the planet Solo in the Andromeda Galaxy, a group of archaeologists have come across the mysterious remains of the Ideon-three large armored tanks with the ability to combine into a godlike mecha. Space Runaway Ideon begins in 2300, far enough in the future that mankind has begun colonizing other planets.

![]() This isnt a major issue for me but it does get annoying having to pick my OS every time I turn on my computer. ![]() There isn't anything else I can find that references it, I've even uninstalled Unetbootin from my OS with no success in removing this secondary (if not fake) boot option. Now change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. ![]() I've gone through and deleted every file and folder that I could see that was created by Unetbootin the day that I did the install and I've also checked msconfig to make sure there wasn't a separate boot option in there (of which there wasn't). Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu. Data lost to accidents, virus attacks, disk formats, etc. The issue now is that I'm stuck with a dual-boot screen every time I turn on my computer as it thinks that the ISO for Ubuntu is a separate OS and I can't get rid of it. USB Repair is a utility & tools software that helps recover your lost USB drive data. This allowed me to install Ubuntu onto the HDD I was using for my server rig. The problem is that the only way I was able to get it to work was to use a program called Unetbootin and essentially "install" the ISO for Ubuntu directly to my Win10 root directory. Essentially what happened was I was having difficulty installing Ubuntu onto my new server rig I built, so I plugged the HDD into a dock on my Win10 rig and installed Ubuntu that way. My Unetbootin Debian usb installation doesnt work, I keep getting the message 'BOOTMGR IS MISSING' I have used Unetbootin lots of times, but now it appears to not work. ![]() So I realise my title may be rather vague but I honestly don't know how else to word it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope this post helps some people the headache of trying to run games through RetroArch!Įdit: To avoid losing savegames when not properly exiting RetroArch via the "Quit RetroArch" function, you should enable automatic SaveRAM autosaving, under "Settings > Saving > SaveRAM Autosave Interval", setting it to a sensible value like every 3 seconds. Certain 3D titles like Doom or Duke Nukem will however still suffer from severe slowdowns. gbSP runs even more complex titles like F-Zero Climax with no issues on stock clock. SNES seems to be the only system that requires overclocking. Even without overclocking most games are playable, though you do get some sound stutters in Mario World and massive slowdowns in mode-7 heavy games like F-Zero or Yoshi's Island. SNES games run mostly fine using SNES9x 2005 Plus, but most games require slight overclocking from 444 to 500MHz to get rid of occasional framedips, which you can do by hitting Select+Up to open the PSVshell overlay (which you probably unknowingly installed during the intial Ensō setup - just try if the button combination works). The cores that worked best (pretty much full speed with no noticable issues across all games I've tested) were FCEUmm for NES, gbSP for GBA, Gambatte for GB/GBC and Genesis Plus GX for Megadrive. If anybody has been a little overwhelmed and disappointed by RetroArch's plethora and performance of cores, I thought I'd share my recommendations, after trying them out for a few days. ![]() ![]() ![]() FaceTime video calling over Wi‑Fi or cellular.Assisted GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS.Model A1901 does not support CDMA networks, such as those used by Verizon and Sprint.
