Nothing is more personal than color! Nothing expresses your personality with clearer or more unmistakable attraction than color. The primary and secondary colors are six in all, with three colors per category. The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. The secondary colors, which are combinations of the primary colors, are orange, green, and violet.
Color is a very deep and complex subject from the following the viewpoints: scientifically, emotionally, visually, spiritually, and intellectually. It touches every aspect of our lives with meaning and symbolism. Therefore, it is helpful to understand color and how it impacts your life. Your understanding of color does not have to be at the PhD level. Just a good, solid, basic understanding will do.
First and foremost, color has its source in light, and natural light comes from the sun. Therefore, color is how you light it! Color is perceived based on the source of light that is used to illuminate objects, and the way color is absorbed and reflected back to your eye.
Color can be described in three terms… Hue, Value, and Intensity.
Hue means the name of the color. Value means the relative lightness or darkness of a color. Intensity means how dull or vivid the color is.
Red suggests fire and blood. It is associated with activity, aggression, and passion. It is interesting to know that the aggressive and advancing quality of red makes a room in which it is used seem smaller in appearance.
Yellow looks most like the sun, as it expresses the quality that the sun seems to give out. With light and warmth from the sun, we are cheered as well as made more light-hearted. Yellow in a room will produce similar feelings under normal conditions.
Blue has an opposite effect from red. Its' reactions are restraint, coolness, repose, and distance. By association, one thinks of a clear blue sky and the cool breezes from the blue waters of the ocean.
Orange is always warm and advancing, as well as cheerful, vibrant, and glowing. To a lesser degree, orange has some of the effects of the colors red and yellow.
Green is the union of yellow and blue, and expresses the qualities of both. Nothing could be more restful, soothing, and agreeable than the cheering and cooling effects of a seat in the shade upon the green grass under luxuriant green trees, in the middle of a hot day. It is easy to see the practical application of this in decorative art and interiors. In a sense, it is almost a neutral, as it is a great backdrop color for any other color, as evidenced in nature.
Violet, or purple, historically has been the color of royalty, as well as a color that represents intelligence and creativity. It has the qualities of red and blue.
Incomplete as the above descriptions are, they're sufficient to establish the point that personal qualities or individual character traits can definitely be expressed in terms of color, or hue.
Value, the second attribute of color, is the quality of lightness or darkness of a color. It relates to a multi-step gray-scale; from white, through increasingly darker shades of gray, to black. A tint is a value lighter than a color's normal value. For example, pink is a tint of the color red. A shade is a value darker than a color's normal value. Maroon is a shade of the color red.
Intensity is the third quality of color. This aspect is the most important of all for a proper understanding of interior design and decoration. This quality determines how brilliant or how forceful a color tone is. Softer and less aggressive tones are called neutral or neutralized colors.
The most valuable question in using color decoratively is that which relates to the distribution and correct placing of neutralized colors in relation to the more intense ones. The biggest errors in the whole realm of color, used in interior decoration, are committed in this area. The following two major principles will clarify this matter for you:
"Backgrounds should be less intense in color than objects that are to appear against them in any decorative way." What this means is that walls, ceilings, and floors must be less intense in color than hangings, upholstery, pictures, and other decorative aspects.
"The larger the color area the less intense it should be, and the smaller the area the more intense it may be." According to this principle, hangings and large rugs must normally be less intense in color than toss pillows, lampshades, decorative ceramics, and other accessories. These fundamental ideologies also apply to fashion. For example, for a man, a red necktie is more appealing than a red suit. For a woman, a red flower or ribbon is more decorative on a black stylish hat than a gray ribbon would be on a red hat.
Even the slightest attempt at using color discloses its' power to express your personality. With a little knowledge and wisdom, you can use it to your best advantage.

Each issue the Development Tracker follows construction projects around downtown and Northeast Minneapolis
Grain Belt sign
4 Island Ave. W.
August Schell Brewing Co.
August Schell Brewing Co. is making progress on the renovation and relighting of the Grain Belt Beer sign. The New Ulm, Minn.-based brewers of Grain Belt beer announced last year that it bought the sign with the hope of fixing and modernizing the well-known Minneapolis landmark, a 75-year-old sign that was last lit in the 1990s. August Schell is proposing to replace the existing incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs and fixtures, which it says will bring maintenance costs and energy use down. Once relit, the sign would be able to change colors to honor holidays like Memorial Day and Christmas, according to plans submitted to the Heritage Preservation Commission. The HPC approved August Schell's plan on June 6.
Macy's redevelopment
700 Nicollet Mall
United Properties
The firm that bought Nicollet Mall's Macy's has brought on a retail marketing and leasing firm with a vision for the historic Dayton's department store space. New York-based 601W Cos. recently announced that Mid-America Real Estate will join the project team, which includes Bloomington-based developer United Properties, tasked with renovating the building at 7th & Nicollet. The plan will likely include a retail component and creative reuses of the street and skyway levels, such as with a food hall or traditional retailers, according to a release. The team also includes redevelopment consulting firm The Telos Group, architecture firm Gensler & Associates and Transwestern as the management agent.
416 Hennepin
416 Hennepin Ave. E.
Fe Equus
Fe Equus has turned its gaze to the Nicollet Island-East Bank neighborhood where it is now planning a 110-unit condo building. The Milwaukee-based developer, which previously built the Hewing Hotel, is planning an 11-story building at 416 and 420 Hennepin Ave. E., according to preliminary plans recently released by the Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood Association. The developer recently bought the parcel at 416 E. Hennepin Ave. for $1.8 million, according to a certificate of real estate value. The project would displace a two-story office building and a surface parking lot, though several buildings would remain, including one home to Whitey's World Famous Saloon. The proposal features 10,800 square feet of commercial space on the main level and office space for the developer and Downtown Resource Group. Plans show an approximately 4,600-square-foot space at the corner of Hennepin & Central for a restaurant. The building would have 156 parking stalls for residents across three levels of above-ground parking and 105 underground parking spaces for the public.
Upper Harbor Terminal
Dowling Avenue North
United Properties
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board approved June 7 the execution of an exclusive rights agreement between the City of Minneapolis, the board and a development team for the Upper Harbor Terminal, a nearly 50-acre site in North Minneapolis slated for an ambitious redevelopment. If the agreement gets the mayor's approval, it will guide the planning process for the redevelopment of the city-owned site. United Properties, the team's lead developer, previously released a preliminary plan that called for up to 1,000 units of housing, a 10,000-person amphitheater and 18 acres of parkland, among other pieces.
14th & Marshall
1319 Marshall
CPM Cos.
The City Council's Zoning & Planning Committee has continued plans for a 110-unit apartment building from CPM Cos. as the Minneapolis-based developer works with planning staff and neighborhood residents to refine them. The developer is proposing to build a six-story market-rate building at the corner of 14th & Marshall in the Sheridan neighborhood. A representative from the neighborhood group had filed an appeal to several variances and a conditional use permit for the project. CPM is also proposing a similarly sized building on the other side of the block near 13th & Marshall that would have 95 apartments and space for a 3,200-square-foot restaurant. That project faces similar concerns related to parking and setbacks from the neighborhood group.
St. David's Center
1200 S. Marquette Ave.
Westminster Presbyterian Church
St. David's Center, a Minnetonka-based nonprofit, is joining the expansion of Westminster Presbyterian Church on Nicollet Mall. St. David's will occupy about a quarter of the church's new wing, an expansion designed by James Dayton Design that is replacing an eight-story office building on Marquette Avenue. The new center will serve at least 200 children and their families with mental health, pediatric and other treatment services. St. David's Center's East African Autism Day Treatment Program will also relocate to the downtown campus, which is slated to open this spring.
One Thousand 3rd
1000 3rd St. N.
Schafer Richardson
Schafer Richardson has resubmitted modified plans to the City Planning Commission for an office redevelopment in the North Loop. The downtown-based developer is proposing to renovate the two-story Zuccaro's Produce building at 3rd & 10th and add three stories on top. The entire project would feature a total net rental square footage of about 61,000 square feet for office tenants. The building would have a rooftop amenity space for tenants and 28 on-site parking stalls, though the developer is working on a large parking ramp project just across the street that would serve its nearby office tenants.
Minneapolis Armory
500 S. 6th St.
Swervo Development
Swervo Development is currently redeveloping the Minneapolis Armory into a multi-use exhibition hall and is proposing a small addition to the historic building's Portland Avenue side. The developer plans to add a one-story addition that would add nearly 3,000 square feet for a reception and meeting hall. Combined with an existing garage addition, the new space could provide room for a restaurant, according to plans submitted to the City Planning Commission for its June 12 meeting. Once complete, the developer envisions the armory being able to host musical or theatrical performance events for approximately 7,000 people, approximately 2,500-person conventions, boat and auto shows or sporting events with up to 5,000 attendees.
Grant Street Commons
515 E. Grant St.
Calvera Partners
An 85-unit apartment complex has a new owner in Calvera Partners. The San Francisco-based firm recently bought the Grant Street Commons complex in the Elliot Park neighborhood for $11.375 million, according to a certificate of real estate value filed in Hennepin County. The eight-story apartment community was built in 1984.
101 3rd Ave. S.
ICM Realty
ICM Realty is putting its mark on Mill Place following a renovation to the office building near the Mill District. The Calgary, Alberta-based firm is rebranding the building as the Barrel House and plans to put a 282-square-foot sign with the new name on the back portion of the building. The Heritage Preservation Commission recently voted 6-3 to approve a certificate of appropriateness and a historic variance for the size related to the project.

Insecticides are toxic and of good quality to determine their toxicity
Buy insecticidal aerosol best to large shopping malls, supermarkets to buy brand name insecticide aerosol, forget the covetous cheap to buy ingredients of unknown low-quality aerosols and filling insecticidal aerosols. At present, widely used in the city of insecticidal aerosols, most of the world is currently widely used in the living room of the insecticide aerosol, mostly using a world recognized safety is pyrethroid insecticidal components.
However, domestic and foreign environmental toxicologists test confirmed that this insecticidal composition of the human and animal nervous system has obvious toxicity, long-term exposure can cause nerve palsy, sensory nerve abnormalities and dizziness and headache and other neurological symptoms. Other general insecticidal ingredients on the human body toxicity is greater. Therefore, the use of pesticides in the public should pay attention to safety, to try to control the use of pesticides, available when not in use; use to minimize contact with pesticides, such as not in the application of the house to stay, immediately after leaving the application , Half an hour later open the doors and windows full of ventilation before entering. Do not let the infants and children who have not yet developed the brain develop contact with any pesticide so as not to adversely affect the development of the brain. Use pesticides in the kitchen to be careful not to contaminate food and kitchen utensils. To minimize contact with insecticidal aerosols to ensure safe summer.

L'Aubergine: Nightlife Favourite's Heliopolis Branch Fails to Measure Up to the Original
131 Omar Ebn El Khattab St.
Haisam Awad
For the longest time, bars in Cairo were predominantly, and maybe even justifiably, concentrated in the central areas of the capital, leaving residents of the city's outskirts, in places like 6th of October City, Heliopolis and even Maadi, to make an exhaustive trip into town – and an even more exhaustive trip back – in search of that thing we call nightlife.
Two or so years or go, however, Heliopolis nightlife exploded (a little); one piece of the proverbial shrapnel that subsequently landed on a dark and sleepy stretch of Omar Ebn El Khattab Street was L'Aubergine.
A longstanding favourite in Zamalek, the bar's move to Masr El Gedida was a risky one and, though it has stood strong since, there's a set of drawbacks that have led the bar to plateau.
Said drawbacks are superseded by one – and it's a biggie: the fact that the sleek and aesthetically-clean bar does not have a license to serve imported spirits. No one has been a more ardent supporter of local industry than Cairo 360 and the #BuyLocal trend, but we'd be kidding ourselves if we try to apply this to alcohol.
One way to get around this problem is to order a cocktail, which the L'Aubergine staff pull-off pretty well and, as the spirits are local, they're deliciously cheap. A classic whiskey sour (30LE) was served in generous amount and was chugged down pretty quickly. Two of the more peculiarly named cocktails produced mixed results, though. The Sexy Bitch (30LE) saw vodka, pineapple juice, blue curaçao and grenadine served in a tall glass, but was sickly sweet and too heavy on the pineapple. The Horny Paul (45LE), however, packed much more of a punch, thanks to its combination of vodka, tequila, rum and lemonade; it was sharp, tangy and surprisingly refreshing and you could taste all three spirits. Away from the cocktails, beers are between 30LE and 35LE – a safe and reasonably-priced choice.
If you can overlook this imported-spirit-deficiency, then L'Aubergine is a pleasant, if unremarkable, bar where one can enjoy a casual drink with chums – at least that's what one would hope. Unlike the Zamalek branch's organically nonchalant atmosphere, L'Aubergine Heliopolis hovers over the idea of being a high-end lounge without really committing to it or any other personality. The decor is dark, cold, cool and demure – all acceptable attributes of a bar. But loud, inappropriately energetic and bass-ridden music, peculiar transparent cafe chairs and TV screens systematically jolt you out of getting comfortable.
In fairness, the venue as a space is treated sensibly and you can find seclusion on the higher round tables and stools, but it's difficult to judge whether one should turn up in smart, tucked-in shirt or more casual attire.

Little Compton Public Safety Building
Little Compton, Rhode Island
This $2 million facility consolidates fire, emergency response, and police services under one roof. This 14,000 square foot building replaced two existing facilities that had become outdated and inadequate. The building program accommodated the specific needs of each group, while fostering a sense of camaraderie among the personnel. Some shared amenities included camera surveillance throughout, men's and women's locker rooms, a kitchen area, accommodations to sleep four, and secure storage space.
Police services inlcuded dispatch room, one-car secure entry, evidence and processing rooms, a booking area with an interview room, two holding cells, private and open offices, and a muster room for daily meetings.
The building was set in the historically-sensitive rural environment of Little Compton. Care was taken to complement the surrounding area through the design.

As Winter turns into Spring, the weather in Hong Kong has seen some unpredictable weather during the course of the past few days. Perhaps that's why this office building in Wan Chai has set out some rather temporary floor mats to keep its floor dry during the rainy seasons. However, it was all clear skies tonight and the floor mats, taken out of context, look almost playful in its arrangement.
The building was conceived and designed in the late 1980s, part of the larger complex of Hopewell Centre. Its main entrance to the office lobby is located at podium level, one storey above ground, giving valuable street frontage to more profitable stores and restaurants. An elevated walkway connects the podium to the neighbouring Hopewell Centre as well as across Queen's Road towards the subway station.
As protection against rain from dripping umbrellas, perhaps the worst enemy of shiny office lobbies, the management office has laid out a number of floor mats to keep the floor dry. However, instead of using one at its main entrance (there are 3 at the building, 1 of which is rather wide), the lobby has been tiled all over with red floor mats, which, under the yellow lighting of the office building, turns into a wonderful shade of orange that becomes a playful installation to the otherwise mundane lobby.

While teaching at General Assembly, I took it upon myself to rewrite a good portion of the existing class materials, as well as redesign many of the pre-built course decks.
I had the most fun revamping the class on Presentation Design – and the new class was received very favorably.
So much so, that I decided to reformat the class slides to make sense on their own, and share them with the online community, SlideShare. I could not have anticipated how this presentation would take off.
The Presentation Design Crash Course was featured on the homepage for a month straight, and has racked up over 120,000 views to date.

The term "Hapkido" translates to "the way or the art of coordinated power." Hapkido is an art that originated in Korea, and it includes both hard and soft techniques, as well as kicks, strikes, joints locks, throws, and weapons.
Hapkido teaches the use of your opponent's strength and size to your advantage. You don't have to be defenseless against a larger or stronger attacker. You can learn to channel your opponents' force and use it against them.
Hapkido teaches circular movement—the body's natural motion—which allows you to move without the threat of injury or loss of energy. Its movements are naturally simple and easy to use, which makes it practical for use in real life self-defense.
There are additional benefits to training in the martial arts; physical fitness, mental health, improved coordination and increased confidence. No matter how young or old you are, you will learn that martial arts training will benefit your overall well-being.

National Women's Health Week is May 14-20. It's a great time of year to revisit those New Year's resolutions you made five months ago, schedule that well woman visit you've been putting off and include some physical and mental self-care in your summer plans. It's also a good chance to evaluate one of the most crucial influences on your overall health: healthy relationships.
As a sorority woman, you were handed a huge bundle of friends as soon as you accepted your bid card. You were suddenly surrounded by women who cared about how you're feeling and where you're going, and are there when you need a shoulder to cry on or friend to laugh with. It's one of the greatest things about being in a sisterhood; you are cheered on by people day-to-day who want to see you succeed. These relationships begin in full bloom, but it takes some intentionality to keep them going.
We've all experienced relationships that tapered off. It's not always a choice, but it happens. Friendships take work and effort, they need time and attention to continue flourishing. These relationships can be especially hard to continue as many of you prepare to graduate college. All of a sudden, you aren't around your sisters every week at chapter and you won't run into them around the chapter house or on campus. You will have to go out of your way to spend time with them and continue cultivating those relationships if you want them to continue.
So how do you do it? How do you maintain your friendships and continue building new ones as your life moves beyond college?
- Be intentional. This is one of the fundamentals of keeping relationships going, and it will be the most effective. Think of the people you want to keep in touch with and reach out to them regularly. Set up times to meet instead of saying "we need to hang out!" and never getting around to it.
- Reach out. When you think of someone you haven't seen in awhile, send them a text. Say, "I'm thinking of you, hope things are going well!" It doesn't have to be detailed or complex, the smallest things go a long way in maintaining a friendship.
- Smile and say hello. Of course you want to continue the relationships you've built, but as you graduate and move into the working world you'll want to build new friendships as well. The older you get, the harder it is to build lasting friendships, but a smile can do a lot. Saying hello and introducing yourself is just the beginning, but every friendship has to start somewhere.
Graduation can be terrifying as you leave what's familiar, but it's also exciting to see the future filled with possibilities. Don't be afraid of losing the people who meant so much to you in college. Be responsible with your friendships and make sure you are doing what you can to keep them healthy and blooming.

|Environmental impacts of conventional plastic and bio-based carrier bags: Part 2: End-of-life options
|Khoo, H.H.
Tan, R.B.H.
|Bio-plastic (PHA)
Polyethylene plastic (PP)
|Issue Date:
|Khoo, H.H., Tan, R.B.H. (2010-05). Environmental impacts of conventional plastic and bio-based carrier bags: Part 2: End-of-life options. International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment 15 (4) : 338-345. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11367-010-0163-8
|Background, aim, and scope: Worldwide, the production of biodegradable and compostable plastics has steadily grown. In Part 1 (Khoo et al. 2010), life cycle assessment (LCA) was applied to compare the production stages of a bio-based bag (made from polyhydroxyalkanoate or bio-plastic (PHA)) with polyethylene plastic bag. The scope of the study is within the context of Singapore and does not include other types of conventional or bio-based polymers (e.g., polylactic acid (PLA), thermoplastics, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), EPS, etc). This article (part 2) proposes to investigate the end-of-life options of both bags. Materials and methods: For part 2, the same LCA methodology is used for the investigation. The LCA system for part 2 starts with disposal options: (1) land filling at Singapore's offshore Semakau Island, (2) incineration, and the (3) composting of bio-bag. Two useful products, energy and compost, will be produced from options 2 and 3, respectively. While the energy from the incineration of both bags are fed back into the LCA production stage, compost from bio-bags can be used as a peat substitute, thus generating carbon dioxide savings from reduced peat production. The end-of-life environmental impacts were generated for global warming potential, acidification, and photochemical ozone formation. A landfill impact, based on Singapore's offshore landfill capacity, was also generated. Next, the environmental impacts of the entire life cycle of both products are calculated for a few scenarios-from cradle-to-grave. Results: The highest end-of-life impacts are observed from the land filling of bio-bags. Next highest disposal impacts are from incineration, and least of all (minimal) from the composting of bio-bags. The greenhouse gas savings from peat substitutes derived from the compost material is rather insignificant. Overall, the cradle-to-grave results demonstrates that the environmental burdens generated from any of the disposal options are less significant compared to those from both products' life cycle production stages. Discussion and conclusions: Unless plans for energy recovery systems are in place, the least preferred route for the disposal of bio-bags are at landfills. From the trend of the final cradle-to-grave results, it can be claimed that the life cycle production of bio-bags from PHA can only be considered as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional plastic bags if clean energy sources are supplied throughout its production processes. This claim was in agreement with other LCA work carried out for the life cycle production of PHA, with the supply of energy by corn stover waste or the consideration of wind power supply in the replacement of grid electricity. It was also observed, however, that some of the results in this article vary from other LCA work carried out by other authors. Some of the reasons included variations in LCA scope and the different range of materials investigated (PLA, HDPE, and thermoplastic starch). Recommendations and perspectives: Presently, the wide range of LCA work carried out on biodegradable polymers differs considerably in the amount of reported background data and the level of detail concerning the LCA system and production methods. A globally accepted as well as concerted effort to describe in detail the life cycle production steps involved, disposal options, type of energy supplied to the production chain, for a well-selected range of polymer materials should be conducted. Meanwhile, it is recommended that a conservative approach is required in introducing bio-based carrier bags as a solution for solving plastic waste issues. Future LCA investigations should also look into the reuse of carrier bags, which is anticipated to bring much greater environmental and sustainable benefit than the replacement of bio-bags with plastic ones. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

Often times when people are going through a difficult time in life the common thought is that we'll either get through it, or it will become easier. Unfortunately, when it comes to special needs parenting, that just isn't the case. Not only does it not get easier, I would argue
How & Why You Should Tell Your Child About Their Learning Disability
When it comes to a learning disability in your children, all sorts of emotions come to the front of your mind. It's a pretty sensitive topic. Many parents are so afraid of what answers might come that they're hesitant to even have their child tested. As a mother who's been
Focusing on the Heartwarming Moments of Homeschooling
Why oh why are we always so hard on ourselves? Why do we tend to be in a constant cycle of evaluating our homeschool? We look for what's going wrong, wonder where and how we can improve. Sometimes we focus only on an area our child might be struggling in.

A client recently told me about a website that helps you interpret your dreams. (Don't ask me how we got onto this subject…)
I read Freud's book on dreams years ago and thought it would be worth revisiting the subject. After browsing around a few related sites, I found a site that explains the meaning of numbers in your dream. As an accountant, this caught my interest.
For example, it explains that the number eight "indicates a strong sense of intuition and is the number associated with wealth and success".
I wonder if you can also use this to interpret your underlying character traits (and your future) from looking at any random number that you choose, e.g. your PIN numbers.
Have a look at www.dream-interpretation.org.uk to see what other numbers mean. Then think about what your PIN numbers may say about you!
Thanks to Adele Walker for inspiring this post.

What is Ayurvediya?
Ayurvediya is the adjectival form of Ayurveda in Sanskrit. It means "Ayurvedic."
We are a spa/healing center/hospital looking to implement Ayurvediya treatments in a safe, effective, authentic manner. How can SA help us?
We recommend you browse this site. If you do, you will be introduced to the questions and issues we feel are important to address when you are aiming to introduce Ayurveda into your facility. You may find the "Education" page a good place to start. We aim to bring to light issues that you will need to address in order to implement safe, effective, authentic Ayurveda into your facility. We also offer certification and can organize trainings appropriately tailored to skill and education level.
I am a consultant who wishes to train a spa/healing center/clinic to introduce Ayurvediya treatments in a safe, effective, authentic manner. How can SA help me?
Please see the answer given above. The same applies in your situation.
What is the difference between shamana and shodhana and how do they relate to purvakarma and panchakarma?
"Shamana (palliative treatment) is that which does not expel the increased dosas (out of the body), does not excite (increase) the normal (dosa) but makes the abnormal (dosas) normal." Ashtanga Hrdayam: Sutrasthana: XIV: 6- 6 ½
Ayurveda treatments may fall under one of two categories: Shamana (Palliative Therapies) or Shodhana (Cleansing/Purification Therapies).Shamana works by pacifying excess doshas (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) in the body; restoring balance gently. Two common forms of shamana are snehana—literally "oiling"—and swedana—literally "sweating." Snehana is often offered in the form of external application of an ample amount of warm, usually medicated oil. Swedana is often offered in the form of a steam room or steam box; it could also be offered in the form of a warm bath or soak.
Shodhana practices are designed to forcibly expel excess doshas or ama (toxicity) from the body. These practices often include purvakarma and panchakarma.
Purvakarma literally translates as "actions that come before." In this case, the actions that precede panchakarma, which literally translates as "five actions:" medicated enemas, therapeutic vomiting, purgation and mild blood-letting and cleansing of the nasal passages.
Purvakarma techniques include internal snehana practices (including the intake of ghee or castor oil), external snehana practices (like abhyanga, pizichil and shirodhara), and swedana (sweating). While some of these practices can also be used in the context of shamana, in that context they are gentle and care is taken to limit their use and intensity. When they are employed within the context of shodhana, which is a more drastic cleansing regimen, they support excess circulating doshas to move to the koshta (digestive tract), from where they can be eliminated. Once the excess doshas have returned to the koshta, shodhana practices like panchakarma are used to expel them.
Shodhana requires the concurrent use of herbs, a simple diet, the supervision of highly qualified practitioners of Ayurveda and a medical setting. Most spas can safely and effectively offer shamana techniques. Shodhana techniques, like panchakarma, being more medical in nature, are more appropriate for clinical or hospital settings. There is greater potential for complications to occur in patients undergoing shodhana, so it requires more monitoring of patients, and more direction from trained, experienced practitioners.
Please see the Resources page on this website for reference material and educational opportunities to understand this better.
Many spas offer panchakarma techniques. How can I know if they are safe?
It is actually rare for a spa to really offer panchakarma, whether they are aware of this or not. What most spas offer are purvakarma techniques. These can act as shamana techniques or can be employed to prepare someone for panchakarma. It is a good sign if the spa knows the difference between purvakarma and panchakarma and between shamana and shodhana and can explain where their treatments fit. If panchakarma is indeed what the center offers, it is important to have a well-trained, experienced practitioner of Ayurveda to coordinate and monitor your treatments.
How often can shamana practices be safely used?
This varies, as there are contraindications for different shamana practices. Even with simple shamana treatments, it will be best if guests are advised to follow certain lifestyle and dietary guidelines, and they should be monitored to make sure the treatments are not excessive for their particular needs and constitutions.
If treatments are offered too frequently outside of the context of panchakarma, there is a risk of moving ama and excess doshas out of the deeper tissues and into circulation in the body. Without proper support, this can be uncomfortable, even harmful, without using shodhana practices that aid to release or remove the toxicity and proper guidance.
For more information on this, please see the Useful Forms page.
Where can I go to receive more education on how to safely administer shamana or shodhana techniques, or to learn how to implement them in my facility?
Please see our Resources page and SA Workshops and Trainings page.
What is SA Certification?
SA Certification is designed to assist spas and clinics to meet high standards of safe, authentic Ayurveda practices and to provide consumers a way to immediately recognize distinguished Ayurveda spas .
What is the purpose of SA Certification?
Ayurveda has been rapidly spreading around the world over the past decade. In the early '90s, it was difficult to find a spa or facility that had even heard of Ayurveda; today it is unusual to find one that has not. Hearing about Ayurveda is one thing; knowing what is authentic, beneficial Ayurveda is quite another. Offering safe and effective Ayurvedic therapies requires further effort. Though there is now no lack of facilities that offer some sort of "Ayurvedic" treatments, there has been no way until now for the discerning client to determine whether or not the treatments offered are authentic. SA was created to address these needs.
When was SA Certification created and who created it?
SA Certification was launched in April of 2009 by Drs. Robert Svoboda, Ramkumar, Claudia Welch, and Sampath.
How can I gain Certification from SA?

text: The heat is on, and I mean it's on! From really yucky rainy weather in the spring to OMG I'm dying in this heat. I need to get a fan! So from 20-23 degrees to 30-35 degrees. 10 degrees of separation right there! The heat is great for the beach and fun in the water like kayaking. But it's a pain when you are trying to get stuff done outdoors. I went from slight tan to light brown within a day or so. I was at the beach kayaking around for the past few days so the sun beats down on me more and gets reflected off the water. But the summer is going by pretty fast! Too Fast! Oh well, got to enjoy the heat while it's lasts. See you later while I enjoy the schools of fish!

Montessori charter school grows to 188 students
September 14, 2017
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — Wednesday's are enrichment days at Mountain Village Montessori Charter School in Steamboat Springs, and on Sept. 13, the classrooms and hallways were filled with the joyous noise of youngsters learning to work as a team to lift a glass jar with multiple strands of string, forming a band and repeating Spanish phrases.
In just its second school year in the K-6 school's location at the former Christian Heritage School, across U.S. Highway 40 from the Steamboat II residential neighborhood, enrollment reports enrollment in the K-6 has grown from 139 students at the end of the 2016-17 school to 188 students this fall, according to Head of School Michael Girodo. That increase was in spite of 10 students who did not return.
"We've built new classrooms," Girodo said. "We went from two to three lower elementary classrooms (first through third grade co-mingled), and we also built a grade 4-5-6 classroom."
Each classroom is capable of comfortably accommodating 25 students.
Montessori is a teaching method that encourages students to be self-directed and make choices about the subjects they pursue. Teachers provide guidance accordingly and encourage hands-on learning and collaborative play.
During a tour of the school building this week, Girodo showed off a large classroom, painted in colors that evoked a natural environment. The expanded classroom was created by cutting large rectangle passages to link what were previously two smaller classrooms and an office.

Asked if students at Mountain Village Montessori are required to take the same standardized tests that students in the Steamboat Springs School District take, Girodo said, "Yes," they do, and the best methods of preparing students for those tests, within the Montessori model, is a subject of ongoing discussion.
Girodo came to Steamboat Springs from his role as head of school at Jarrow Montessori School in Boulder, where he had also been a longtime teacher. Girodo replaced the school's original head of school, Michael Hayes, who couldn't pass up the opportunity to take the position of executive director of Compass Community Charter Schools in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Mountain Village Montessori also has new board chairman – Jeff Merage.
The fact that Mountain Village Montessori is not a private school but a public school organized by the Colorado Charter School Institute is something Girodo emphasizes.
"It's a public charter, with our own unique approach," he said. "I think it's important for parents to know that out there in the community. If you apply (to have your children admitted), you qualify for the lottery. It's random, not based on any criteria or interviews at all."
There is also no tuition, except for youngsters in the associated preschool.
Among the advantages of mingling students in grades 1-3 and 4-6, Girodo said, is that it makes students more comfortable progressing at their own rates. Students who need remedial work don't feel singled out, and students who are ready to work ahead of their "grade level" can more easily be accommodated.
Montessori also supports peer mentoring.
"What's wonderful about Montessori is that the students start teaching each other," he said. "It's not so teacher-centric; they're encouraged to work with their peers. Kids learn to be leaders from that."

I need your podcast recommendations.
I'm officially over the hump of Thanksgiving planning, preparation, cleaning, organizing, and otherwise doing, which means I'm officially entering the holiday enjoyment zone where long naps, long chats, long bike rides, long yoga sessions, and long runs cease being 3:00PM work interlude daydreams and start being my real life. In light of the fact that my pre-holiday obsessive task-mastering set me back a few workouts last week, I'm planning to catch up with a couple long leisurely workouts while I am vacationing and giving thanks this year. As you may know, I'm a huge fan of podcasts for all my workouts (especially . . . er, exclusively . . . the FREE ones). In fact, my entire fitness regimen revolves entirely around podcasts (with the rare exceptions being my Saturday Zumba dance-fests).
For Cycling:
I am totally hooked on Cadence Revolution: Your Weekly Source for 30, 60, and 90 minute Cardio Mixes and Coaching Tracks. Aside from being just generally great music to workout to, I love that the songs all flow together (no awkward seconds of silence between songs where I catch the sound of my gurgling pulse heavy in my ears filling with the fear of my certain and impending death). And there is a cool signal 5 minutes into all of the podcasts to let you know, "Alright, buddy, warm-up is over, time to step on it!" Since they come in such a nice variety of lengths, and since there is a new one in each of the three lengths every week, I'm actually OK for Cycling content at the moment.
For Yoga:
I've found podcasts offering yoga classes for 20 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, and even 90 minutes. The 20 minute podcasts at Yogamazing are great, because they are aimed at specific sports, activities, and ailments (think – yoga for equestrians or yoga for back pain. Where's Yoga for Blobs?) They also come with accompanying video if you aren't fluid in whattheheckwasthat-asana, yet. 20-Minute yoga sessions from Yoga Download are great, too, though more advanced than Yogamazing, so be warned.
The 45-minute classes at Hillary's Yoga Practice Podcast are great, but they don't seem to come out very often. I've been re-running the same three or four classes for about a year now. The 60 and 90-minute classes at Jai Prem Yoga are great, but let's be real — they're 60 or 90 freakin' minutes. That's a lot of time between the morning run and the morning battle with my hair that I frankly just don't have.
Since I've been trying to do "some" yoga every day, I have come to the self-realization that 30 minutes is the perfect porridge temp for making sure I can get in a little yoga each day. I haven't been able to find a good, free, podcast with 30-minute classes. Any ideas?
For Running:
Since I have been running every day, and since I've been running with the iPod longer than I've been doing anything else with the iPod, I've already racked up a pretty good collection of podcasts. For short runs there's the suite of Slate podcasts: Political Gabfest, Culturefest, and Double X. But now that even my daily runs exceed 45 minutes, I've been relying more heavily on longer selections like 60 Minutes (although, it's really closer to 45 minutes without commercials — who knew?) and Bill Maher's Real Time. For my long runs on the weekends, I rely solely on Phedippidations, which run about 60 to 80 minutes each time and make it feel like you're running together with someone, chatting along, only you don't have to chat back or be embarrassed by the fact that any attempt to do so would surely cause you to violently vomit.
My problem is this: my DIY 1/2 Marathon Training is ramping up with runs that now last more than 60 minutes. Since I find the sound of my own wheezing embarrassing and gross, and since all my favorite podcasts are published only weekly, I am quickly spending down my cache of saved-up good listening.
I did come across PodRunner in a recent search through the iTunes Store, and I dig the way they are sorted according to BPM (beats per minute, which translates to steps per minute since you generally match your cadence to the pace of your music). This helps when I'm trying to up my speed by allowing me to select a music mix slightly faster than my normal steps-per-minute. Still, though, in the end, I really do prefer talking podcasts to just straight music. Maybe I need to check out free lectures or audio books — any of you blobs got any leads?
Let me know.

This Workflow Kit for Rolling Calendar is a sophisticated calendar application within Trello. The Workflow Kit contains 3 different time frame setups, which of course are customizable:
- a 6-day weekday Rolling Calendar
- a 10-day weekday Rolling Calendar
- a 12-day weekday & weekend Rolling Calendar
There's a PDF tutorial included in the Workflow Kit for Rolling Calendar that explains its features, its setup and gives plenty of information how to adapt and customize the setup to individual needs. This should enable you to set up the calendar board without any external help.
You get also access to a video that shows how to quickly import commands from the text files included. You will also learn how to adjust those commands to create a clean command repository so that you always can find commands quickly that you'd like to adjust.
Here's an overview of the 4 features currently implemented in this Workflow Kit:
- Automated Calendar Setup – continuous building and updating of your Rolling Calendar based on your preferences (weekdays only, full weeks, setting of time frames)
- Recurring Tasks – they can be daily or somewhat periodic (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc., or even targeting fixed dates, like every 15th of the month)
- Email Inbox – have tasks send into the board by email or 3rd party automation tools and add them to your calendar
- Housekeeping commands make sure your Rolling Calendar is always up-to-date and not finished tasks are rolled over into the next day(s)
If you have suggestions or wishes for missing features, I am happy to think it through. Please drop me an email and let me know!
If you see the need to customize your workflows for Rolling Calendar and want some external help, feel free to book a Workflow Concierge Service with me. Whether you are unsure if possible customization ideas are possible at all or you feel intimidated doing it yourself, the Workflow Concierge Service is a 1:1 video session in which I help people to adjust their automated Trello boards into unique solutions.

So, recently I've gotten involved with the maelstrom which has been the Undertale fan base. For those of you who don't know what Undertale is, it's a video game where the whole point is that you don't have to kill anyone or anything to win. This resulted in a few variations of the gameplay. In an effort to not spoil any of the contents for my readers who haven't ever played it before, I'll spare names and details but in short there are three main play paths. First is the Pacifist, which is how the game is "meant" to be played, in which you don't harm or kill any living being in the world. Then there is the Neutral play through where you kill some monsters and spare others, then after that there is the Genocide play through which, as it sounds, you kill every living and breathing thing in the universe. Each ending is different and many of the battles/scenes in the game differ amongst the various paths you choose. There are tons more besides just those three and many of them will alter your play through.
Because I didn't want to be spoiled for storylines, I played through the Pacifist run first, along the way I became so attached to some of the characters that I had to wait a while before starting another play through because I knew what was inevitably coming. I blasted through the Pacifist run in two days with some of my friends and we all shared in the ups and downs of the storyline, we laughed and we cried together at the turns it took and as I sat down the following weekend to begin my Genocide run, our hearts were heavy. I had grown an attachment to a few of the characters that was so powerful, when I ended their lives the second time around I was actually heartbroken. The first two were the worst. With the second one hurting so much that I had to take a step outside to recollect my thoughts.
The reason I'm bringing all of this up is not to become one of the drooling members of the Undertale fan base, but rather to talk about the impact of a good story. The game focuses on a few different themes, those being hope, despair, love, hate and determination. I was originally going to publish this blog post last week but with the events that had occurred I had to pause and place it with something else, and this post will hit on some of those contents.
In this life every person has the choice to love or to hate. Both avenues can lead us to the end of our journey, but we will get there dramatically different ways. Love will lead us through, we will have more resistance, but in the end our journey will complete in the best way. With close friends and loving family, we will be reunited with all of the people or the things that we missed and in the end, it will eventually be okay. Hate will take you on a path that seems easier, but one day when you don't recognize it, you will need help. You will need friends and you won't have any because you have been so free to hate on the things in your life that may be different or hard to understand. Both of these choices lead to hope and to despair.
I used to hate. Openly and without care for who or what I hurt along the way. Until one day I woke up and realized something, despite the fact that I was lucky and had friends and family who would never give up on me, I knew that if I continued on the path that I was heading through that I would distance myself to a point where they couldn't truly help if they wanted to. It brought despair. Hate will always bring despair, because all hate does is distance you from the things that you need. The things that complete you will be complete with someone else if you give in to that hate. It took me a long time to realize this, much longer than I would have liked.
When I love, I love because I have hope in the world. We constantly see all of these horrendous things occurring in ways that we wouldn't dare dream of. When I love, I look through those terrible acts and remember the heroes. I remember the ways they gave everything they could and the ways that they reminded me what it means to be alive, to be human. We will fail, we will fail a lot but I promise you that love, in the end, is always worth it.
I say this, because there is a lot of hate in the world already. You can see it everywhere. People hate Donald Trump. They hate Gays. They hate ISIS. They hate Christians. They hate this, and that, and so on. I look at all of this and I have to take it in, because it's the world I was born into.
I'm here to tell you, from the mouth of someone born into something that I can't bear to be a part of…
Hate is not the answer.
Nothing will come of us if we continue to feed this beast that has grown in our society. Hate is a hunger that can never be satisfied. When you hate those around you, your soul will not rest until that hate has been justified. There is a reason for that hate that you can't put a finger on. That hate manifests despair. I know, because I had spent a lot of time manifesting despair in the deep corners of my heart without ever realizing it. That's the most dangerous thing. Sometimes you can hate someone for what they have done to you and you will never notice how much it changes you as a person. After a while, it grows and expands and moves on. That hate escapes and is replaced with another.
Love works the same way.
If you love, and you try every day to love more, you will. Love grows with other love around it. When you surround yourself with good people, when you are lucky enough to have friends or family like I have, you will quickly realize that the world around you isn't full of monsters. It's full of creatures much like yourself, with different faces and different bodies and different ideals and each of them are beautiful. This isn't to say that we should allow everything they do to slide just because we love them. In fact it's quite the opposite. When you truly love someone and you see them turning to something that will hurt them or others, it's your job to stand up. To put a stop to it. To fight against all of the evils in this world.
That's why I started this blog. I think, in a lot of ways that's why I started writing again too. I know that it is my gift. It is something I have been blessed with and I intend to use it to the best of my ability. I'm going to use it for love.
I only hope that I can create something that has the same impact on you all that Undertale had on me.
I'll end this lengthy blog post for this week by offering up something I've had to keep close to my heart these last few days.
Hate has never once solved a problem. Hate is not meant for you or I. We were born to love. We were born to fight. Stand up, and do whatever you can do to spread love to those in your life. That love will spread and it will grow and eventually you will have a field of flowers, capable of loving, no matter how broken they appear.

I had my cute little 21mm/4.5 Zeiss ZM mounted on Fuji XE-1 and decided to shoot some portraits as I usually do with 50mm. Here is a sample test.
O well, the noses look a little bigger than usual. Otherwise, this lens is not good at producing distortion.
Enjoy. Any feedback is most welcome, as always.

So the plan may still be to find a boat and live on that as our house. However, just like we did house hunting some time ago, boat hunting proves to be just as stressful and unsuccessful.
In the past weeks, we have looked at a few more vessels. A monohull, and two catamarans. Which will we choose? That is still to be determined. A quick google search yields a bountiful list of pros and cons to each. Right now, finances are not there for neither (Insert frownie face here). We got to look at a nice 34′ monohull, in exceptional condition. However it was a little too crowded for two of us to live on full time. The price was not bad at all. Only $87k. We did look at a similar priced 37′ catamaran, but in such poor shape, it would take that much just to get it seaworthy. The third vessel we looked at, was the same style 32′ PDQ we looked at in North Carolina last year. They thought a lot of thier vessel, $99k, but with so much that needed to be done to it, my offer would have been laughed at.
We looked at monohulls at catamarans last year and have yet decided on which. Don't forget we still don't know how to sail yet.
There has to be some common ground to a decent vessel at a decent price. I'm not looking for a steal, but not going to get raked over the coals either. I'm afraid it's back to saving until we decide. By back to saving, I mean back to work. At least I'm getting some practice on bottom paint jobs for when we get our own.
I read about people looking for a few years before they find the right one. I don't think I want to wait that long. The sea is calling, and time and tides wait for no one. However good things come to those that wait.
Have experience on either? What did you choose and why? What would you change?

MNC's To Get a Smaller Share of a Much Bigger Market
Again the organizing concept for MNC's in China is shifting. Whereas once the focus was on setting up, and quick expansion, now this should move to standard business development. The "land rush" is over, and now to borrow agricultural imagery its time to till the soil and produce good crops. Of course land rushes are far more exiting than farming, so there are complaints that growth is much slower than it used to be, and that some government practices and policies are unfair. At the same time, growth is slower than it was in the boom years around 2004-2010, with current official GDP growth rates at about 7%, and true growth likely even slower than this, in the range of 3-5%. In sum, for some of the shine has some off the China market.
While there may be some reason to complain, the fact is that the most recent 10-15 years represented an ideal period for foreign businesses in China: very fast development combined with relatively open access, and an under-developed set of domestic competitors, depending on the market. In the past several years though, these have all begun to change, with greater focus on compliance, stronger domestic players, and slowing growth. As a result MNCs are in effect being squeezed, with many losing market share in their target industries. Much of this though comes down to the natural progression of China's development, rather than actions by the Chinese government.
Just because the land rush is over though does not mean that MNC's should de-emphasize China. In fact it's probably important now to re-emphasize focus on China, because at some point it will be the world's largest economy, and the growth here is real. There may be over-capacity and in some key markets such as real estate, but the economy is not a big bubble waiting to be popped. And while it may not be as easy to gain market share, and opportunities may not be as apparent, there will still be a range of opportunities for companies that are able realign their BD strategy to this reality and execute accordingly.
First though let's review the recent stages of development in China, with a focus on MNC's, and see how we've reached this point. The diagram shows GCiS' views of this.
Early 80's to Mid-1990s: Setting-up (Pioneering)
Certainly to set up in China in the late 1970's or early 1980s was to be a pioneer. Reform and Opening had just started, and a legacy of state-run everything was difficult to shake. While there were some real transactions to be done- such as selling commercial jets or boilers and MRI machines, the strategic concept was about the potential of China, and laying the ground work to meet this. The key issues at this time were how to enter the market, structure, JV partners, government relations, and manufacturing or sourcing for export. And there was a whole set of soft issues, such as learning to manage a Chinese workforce, understanding Chinese business and general culture, how the government works at all levels, etc.
Furthermore, in the early days of reform and opening and before WTO, not only were markets much smaller but companies had less room to maneuver. MNCs often had to have JV partners, which came with its own set of limitations. Some companies set up with the hope that regulations would turn in their favor, so they could start their operations in earnest. Back in this period, for example, western Telecom operators were preparing for liberalization of fixed and then mobile operations, which would never happen.
In this pioneering period investments were made sometimes without proper research or ROI expectations. Establishing a strong presence, learning the system, and setting things up well in this time were among the most important success factors for MNCs, and the strategic focus. Loss leading was common, most markets very small, and few expected to make much money during this time, especially during the early part of this. But then in the latter part of this period, in the 1990s, growth in the economy accelerated and for many the potential started to become realized.
2002-2013: Rapid Development (Land Rush)
The Land Rush period in China was when companies really started to make serious money in China, including both revenues and profit. While the land rush happened over a period of several years, 2004 is a good marker because this is the year in which passenger auto market in China doubled in a single year, and started its ascent to be the world's number one market within 7 years, now totaling over 20 Mn autos output annually. The construction boom was also coming into its own then, fueled in part by recent liberalization residential mortgage lending. The businesses of many MNCs are related in some way to these two industries.
And in 2004, China's GDP was already 20 times larger than in 1984 (nominal), and would be about 70 times larger by the end of this period, meaning a massive new consumer market for foreign businesses. It is notable that consumer products- from shampoo to Ipads- are among the least restricted of China's markets.
It was in this period that China became a separate line item in reporting, and when it started to account for a very noticeable portion of both growth and revenues of MNCs- not just a footnote. China in this period went from a large potential market to large present market. Near the end of this period, companies started to pay much more attention to the bottom line, cut out loss-leading, and demand positive ROI. And commensurate with such high growth, companies that invested and developed there business widely here could report double-digit annual figures, which prompted many to call China its main growth market. Many APAC headquarters were promptly re-located to China, Shanghai in particular.
With the market growing so fast most every year, building capacity and market share, as well as adding sales and service infrastructure and the like were priorities. The export machine continued to grow, but the focus became more on domestic sales than on exports. And when the RMB appreciated, and with the global financial crisis, exports became less important to the market. With the economy nearly quadrupling during this time, there was room to grow for most. In fact some companies grew by over 10%, gaining praise from HQ, whereas their market in China was growing by 15-20%. Western firms such as GM or Apple saw China become the No. 1 market for their products, whether based on total sales (Apple), or profits (likely GM- not reported).
In the past few years, though, several trends have dampened the land rush. The debt and over-capacity in the wake the government's 2009 stimulus package (in response to the GFC) are still a problem. Inflation is still present, and just as important the labor market has become much more restrictive and expensive, with business in most industries and in the more developed provinces having difficulty in retaining workers. The new leadership in Beijing has also made an impact, with tighter and some would say unfair scrutiny of MNCs, more focus on compliance, and support of state-owned enterprises. There have also been off-and-on attempts to squeeze some of the liquidity out of the market, with higher interest rates. The most important factors are just slower growth, and greater competition.
2014+: Attrition (or Farming)
Now in 2014, the days of very high growth in most markets are over, so we move into the next phase in China's development: Attrition (or farming, to follow the metaphor). This means that MNCs will have to battle harder to gain or retain market share, retain talent, keep on the good side of the government, and make a profit. Some markets will continue to grow very fast. Automotive is an example here, and there are many smaller markets that will see very fast growth, and new bubbles may form. But the general land rush is coming to a close.
The new strategic focus will be less in investment, M&A, or partnerships, and more on business development and organic growth. Business development here means what it means in the West: developing better products, choosing the right customers to target, and the right channels, selling for a premium. In this limited sense China has become much more of a normal market, and something closer to a developed market- so should be familiar to MNC's.
Fewer Opportunities for MNC's?
Does this mean fewer opportunities for MNCs? In some ways, yes. Slower growth and stronger local competition (and in some cases more government protectionism) imply this. The share of MNC's of this market will be smaller going forward, and some companies will be squeezed out of this market. Costs will be higher, and sales may be more difficult. In some cases Chinese consumers or businesses may have the ability to pay more, but will the price premium may be smaller than expected.
But these depend greatly on the market, and company. In some ways the opportunities will shift. For example, new trends such as Green Building or tighter environmental regulations will offer opportunities for companies in as diverse areas as coatings, HVAC, power generation, and controls. Some opportunities will be fickle. For example, over the past 5 years fire safety regulations went from less strict, then stricter, then less strict. Another high profile fire may shift these back to strict again.
There will be less low-hanging fruit, but even growth of 4% a year means an economy growing significantly faster than most developed countries. It will taking longer to gain or lose market share, but this will still be more fluid than in Western countries. To take advantage of shifting opportunities, MNCs will have to:
Offer Innovative or Distinct Products. Whether it's a product with real technological superiority, or just one that people want, there is a lot of room here. Chinese firms have improved, but still lag in truly innovative products. A distinct product could be anything from a well designed cookware to premium agricultural products.
Offer Higher Value Products. The China product (or BRICS product) is not a marketing slogan, but a real option for many MNCs.
Develop Better Channels. Many MNCs have already set up strong channel networks, such as by-passing the more general agents, and focusing on more local distributors in a particular locale or industry.
Have a Better Customer Focus. Demographics in this market are still so large that it's often hard to keep good customer focus, but this is necessary if sales is to be effective.
Have a Different Regional Focus. This means the shift to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as much as East to West. At the consumer level, much growth is taking place in cities such as Wuhan or Chongqing, which are growing faster than Eastern Seaboard cities.
Play the Compliance Game. China is becoming less of a Wild West, and more of a Singapore in this respect, and there is going forward it's necessary to cross all the t's, and there will be more t's to be crossed compared to the local competition.
Much of this comes down to going "deeper" into this market, in terms of local staff, channel partners, customer and market knowledge, products tailored for the local market, and in some cases local production. A marketing focus will be just as important as a sales focus. In some cases this will mean discontinuing a product line or division, if the prospects are not there.
The issue of unfair practice by the Chinese government may have merit, but is typically not the decisive factor in the emergence of strong domestic competitors. Both official and unofficial policies are set up to benefit local companies, though whether these are unfair or illegal is often murky. For example, government-owned SOEs will typically purchase from domestic companies. Sometimes this is because there is an understanding that they must do this, and sometimes because the local products have improved and will meet their needs. Other developing countries have policies that the West deems unfair, such as local content requirements of Brazil, or stringent market entry barriers in India. MNCs have some remedy to this, working with their respective governments, but otherwise one has to work within the existing system.
From the perspective a Western corporate manager, it is understandable to view the China market with less optimism than back in the pioneering days. But well back even before this time there was always a strong element of fantasy about a China market that would bring riches to anyone who showed up. The reality is more difficult and complex. But the upside is that this is now a 60 Trn RMB market, and even if growth is only 4% going forward, then in 10 years this is a 90 Trn RMB economy, or about the same size as the US economy today. Domestic companies will fill much of this space, but not nearly all. And China, unlike say Japan, still has a positive inclination to purchase foreign brands.
So what will come after this phase? We can't see that far forward, but this phase should go for some time, and companies that are able to properly adjust their approach and execute should find this phase as worthwhile as the last.

A growing number of local and county governments are siding with truckers, businesses and residents who oppose Interstate 95 becoming a toll road in Virginia.
Leaders from 15 cities and counties met for the second time on Aug. 15 to voice opposition to a plan by the Virginia Department of Transportation that would charge $4 for cars and $12 for trucks using I-95 in Sussex County.
"We all recognize that this proposed toll would have a chilling effect on economic development and business along I-95," Peggy Wiley, chairwoman of the Greensville County Board of Supervisors, said in a statement from community leaders.
"It would be very difficult to attract any company to an area where employees would have to pay a toll to commute to and from work or adds costs to ship their products."
Wiley says Virginia needs a transportation solution other than tolls. Emporia Mayor Sam Adams stated that he doesn't want to see the "The Old Dominion" turn into "The Tolled Dominion."
According to the statement, community leaders are urging people to contact state delegates, senators and Gov. Bob McDonnell to oppose I-95 tolls.
The group recognizes what truckers already know, that tolls would divert traffic to secondary roadways, and that tolls would hurt businesses by adding to shipping costs and discouraging economic development.
OOIDA says tolls on an existing interstate would amount to a double tax on the user.
"We certainly want our members to communicate with their elected officials and write letters to local newspapers assessing the inappropriateness of tolling an existing federal highway," OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer said.
A separate coalition created and funded by Natso and the ATA recently formed to oppose I-95 tolls, as well.

All we ask is that you hold them in your thoughts and anyone else who needs help at this time and always. Thanks.
