Each of our choice is in line with human's fundamental demand and human's universal value. We are devoted to meaningful career and we are fulfilling the duties and responsibilities that others would not like to fulfill. We hold the dream of marching into world market and do our best to build an international enterprise. Therefore we achieve the esteem of the industry and are highly recognized by the society and customers. We get honor and dignity, and our employees get a good platform fulfill their values.

"When heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his spirit, toughen his nature and enhance his abilities." We have made great efforts to develop this sweet business. Our growth is accompanied by sweat, tear, and even humiliation. We never waver in the fulfillment of our values and operation principles. No pains, no gains. A sweet business can't be made without any sacrifice.
Sweetness and bitterness are twins. The sacrifice of sweetness is bitterness, and the result of bitterness is sweetness. "Never a lip is curved with pain that can't be kissed into smiles again". Pain and pleasure are the secrets of life, also the hope of Oriental Yuhong.

Every so often you set out to get an answer to one question and end up learning something else altogether. Something like that happened to me a couple of weeks ago, when I was attempting to finalize the cover of my fourth mystery novel.
The cover image, which I conceived and developed with the help of a very good graphic designer, was to show a football field at night, with a lone pompon lying forlornly in the foreground, suggesting a missing cheerleader. It's a simple enough concept in concept, but it took several attempts before I was satisfied that the pompon was immediately readable as a pompon.
If readers look at a book cover and go, "eh?" when they see it, that is not something that is likely to increase sales. So, given the downside of being wrong, I decided to get a few more opinions on how well the pompon image worked before I put it out there on Amazon.
Unscientific, But Telling
I had the cover image as a jpg and decided to email it around to a few friends to see what they thought. I settled on three men and three women and sent it out to everybody at the same time.
In the covering email, I simply said that I'd like them to look at the book cover and tell me in a line or two what they saw in it. It seemed to me like a straightforward and unambiguous request, and I really wasn't prepared for what came back.
Two women and two men replied within a couple of days, and the responses were clearly differentiated by gender. Both the women wrote that they saw a football field with a pompon on it, which was the answer I was hoping for. The men, on the other hand, looked at it completely differently.
What's the Catch?
Both of the guys, interestingly, regarded it as a trick question, and in their response tried to point out what they thought was the hidden flaw in the picture, without making any attempt to describe the picture, which is what I was asking them to do.
One of my friends thought that the bench behind the football field shouldn't have been there. Another thought he saw someone peeing in the trees in the background. Both of them said they weren't completely sure of it and didn't know whether they had registered the trick in the photo. Neither response was any help to me in terms of getting a confirmation or denial as to whether the pompon registered.
One of them subsequently wrote, in response to a followup question, that of course that was a pompon in the foreground. Since nobody had said they were wondering what that lump above my name was, I figured at that point that I was overthinking the matter and that the cover was fine. My friends helped me figure that out, certainly, but they also provided a valuable object lesson in yet another way that women are from Venus and men are from Mars.

About Our Site
TravellingAlone was formed to offer a unique reference point on keeping safe when travelling alone.
Travelling is often exciting, sometimes - especially if you're a business traveller - boring and, just occasionally, risky. But whether you're faced with excitement, tedium or danger, the presence of friends, family or colleagues acts as a buffer mechanism to help magnify your pleasures and insulate you from distress.
Travelling alone is different. It brings a whole host of complications with it, some of them pleasant and some of them not so pleasant. Whenever you're alone, for example, you can be sure that there will be some people who think you might not want to be.
Whether you're open to romantic attachments, or whether you're emphatically not interested in them, affects the way you approach the travel experience.
Travelling alone, you will face far greater exposure to danger than you will when travelling in a group. Our site will explore the precautions you can take, and the smart responses you can make, when confronted with possible dangers.
Naturally, lone travellers, whether male or female, can face radically different experiences in different parts of the world. As well as general tips on conduct and etiquette which are applicable anywhere, TravellingAlone will feature in-depth discussion of specific locales and the facets of the local culture which make them unique.
Our concern was that there was no single UK resource for interesting features and practical advice on this subject.
Our features and articles are written by experts - who have experience, or a particular interest in this area.
Our BackgroundTravellingAlone was founded by John Rowlinson, the founder of PtS.
John, through PtS, is involved in a number of ventures including software and property companies. A percentage of revenue from these activities goes towards funding TravellingAlone and a number of similar sites.
Our focus is simply on having experts create the highest quality information possible that is widely read.

Sleep Study Scoring and Physician Interpretation
The CISRE's Data Management Core provides investigators and sponsors with immediate access to sleep recordings and prompt sleep study reports. Its versatile IT backbone combines fixed in-lab and mobile domiciliary testing suites to record, score, analyze and archive raw and summary data. Customized software offers robust, secure mechanisms for transmission of sleep recordings and summary data to and from the Scoring Hub from on-site study beds and remote locations across the globe.
3.1 Scoring Type
Investigators can request a variety of different types of scoring for their protocol's PSGs. These include:
Sleep Architecture (Limited Scoring)
Standard PSG (Sleep Architecture, Respiratory, Spontaneous Arousals, and PLM)
Specialized Automated Periodic Leg Movement (PLM)
TcCO2 / End-tidal interpretation
Breath-by-breath flow analysis
Breath-by-breath snoring analysis
3.2 Sleep Study Report
A standard sleep study report consists of four pages. 1. Study information, sleep architecture, and PLM. 2. Respiratory breakdown positional analysis. 3. Physician interpretation. 4. Summary chart.
An additional CO2 report may follow the sleep study report upon request. The summary statistics include the average, high, and low TcCO2/SpO2 values for wake, NREM, and REM. The SpO2 variables are categories be level of saturation (mean %, <90%,<85%, <80%). Moreover, summary statistics are available prior to lights off and following lights on.
3.3 Databasing Report Variables
As noted above, report variables are initially provided in PDF format. Investigators within the institute have the benefit of receiving the variables in an Excel spreadsheet array ready for databasing. As additional subjects within any given protocol are added, the CISRE updates the relevant Excel spreadsheet. In addition to standard variables that are included in the PDF and Excel spreadsheets, the CISRE database contains additional variables that are not typically included in standard sleep reports. Should you be interested in learning more about other potential variables, contact the CISRE IT Manager.

It's pretty rare that MUGEN (an open source 2D fighting game engine, made in 1999) results in full, unified, cohesive games worth noting — but the fan-made crossover Famicom Fighters is shaping up to be something special.
Currently in development with a surprisingly large team, Famicom Fighters re-imagines the world of 8-bit games with smoother animation and old school 2D game-play. It'll probably be the only time you'll see Star Man from NES Pro Wrestling use El Fuerte-like run mix-ups, and its definitely the only time you'll see him body slam Thonolan from Taito's Kick Master.

Wanted: a seasoned executive to take the top position at a troubled technology startup. Must be willing to fix a broken culture, deal with an aggressive predecessor, battle arisky lawsuit and prepare the company for an initial public offering. Self starters preferred.
This is essentially the pitch that Uber is making to potential CEO candidates after Travis Kalanick, the firm's cofounder, was ousted from the top spot last month. By some accounts, the job appears to be a thankless one at a company whose reputation is in the toilet. So who would want it? Quite a few people, as it turns out.
The company has received a flood of interest and Uber's board has interviewed multiple candidates, say multiple sources who asked to remain anonymous.
Among those up for consideration have been Susan Wojcicki, who leads YouTube.
Others include Adam Bain, Twitter's former chief operating officer; David Cush, a for mer CEO at Virgin America; the former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer; and Thomas Staggs, an ex-COO at Disney, according to three other people familiar with the search.
Others, like the former Google sales executive Nikesh Arora, have been quietly advancing themselves for the position, according to two of the people. "This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who's wired for problem solving and wants to make their mark by turning around the image of the company," said Jason Hanold, managing partner at Hanold Associates.
"Yes, they're inheriting Uber's entire toxic culture. But they're also getting thousands of employees who are hungry to change it."
While Uber is unprofitable, its revenue has been growing. That would make an IPO a huge event on Wall Street, as well as for Silicon Valley investors. Some candidates have expressed concern over how Uber's board operates, especially because Kalanick retains a seat. Kalanick has been active in the search for his replacement, according to two of the people familiar with the candidates.Uber has other considerations in choosing a new leader. The company has faced intense criticism for its lack of diversity and has only recently begun to address the matter. Yet the positives of the job still outweigh the negatives for hopeful applicants.
