The Challenge Of Globalization For Large Chinese Firms
As China joins the World Trade Organization, the author questions whether China's large firms will be able to compete on the global level playing field. Over the past two decades, Chinese large enterprises have undertaken extensive evolutionary change but, at the same time, the world's leading firms have undergone a revolutionary transformation. Based on analysis of firms with the aerospace, oil and petrochemical industry, the authors conclude that China's leading firms face critical challenges, even in sectors in which China's policy makers have scored significant successes.

The former governor today paid a visit to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra. After the meeting, he shared on his social media page reason for the visit.
Read below...
"Today, I visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kuje Prison and we engaged in a very long discussion. Kanu is my brother and a son of the soil. He shouldn't be where he is because Kuje Prison is not his home. It is therefore my utmost concern to see him regain his freedom like every other Nigerian."

Madras High Court restrains CBSE from declaring "NEET 2017 Results" – It was on Wednesday, Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court restrained the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) from declaring the results of National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) 2017 until June 7.
Justice M.V. Muralidaran granted the interim injunction on the ground that different question papers set for the NEET held in 10 languages would lead to discrimination between students.
The order was passed on a writ petition filed by a group of nine students from Madurai seeking a direction to the Central government to cancel the NEET conducted on May 7 for admission to undergraduate medical courses. They argued that the CBSE, by framing different question papers, had denied them a level playing field. Instead, the Board could have translated a common question paper.
When the case came up before Justice N. Seshasayee last week, he refused to grant any kind of interim order but for ordering notice to the CBSE, which has conducted the test in English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Odia and Assamese.
Also See: Maharashtra Board HSC & SSC Result 2017
In an affidavit filed on behalf of students S. Jonila, P. Surya, P. Siddarth, K. Ajay Sharan, S. Nitin Prakash Sivasubramanian, Gautham Sankar, J. Aditya, D. Richard Rishaban Dass and M. Naveen Kumar, it was stated that all of them had written the NEET this month in English on the basis of uniform syllabus.
They were shocked to learn subsequently that the question paper was not uniform across the country.
The Petition filed by the students also claimed that the paper in Tamil was much easier than in English, where the student argued "One India, one question paper is a must in NEET. Otherwise, assessment of intelligence and aptitude will differ. Further, an uneven playing field would infringe the right to equal opportunity in education."
Also Students from Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal too agitated over different question papers having been prepared in different languages, they claimed.

Find info concerning Black Hills State support services, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Then get a copy of the schedule of classes, so you can plan a workable weekly schedule for yourself. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Black Hills State student life information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Black Hills State.
Don't imagine that college is all about getting good grades and finding a job after graduation. A large part of the university growth experience is about participating in extracurricular activities such as student government, writing for the school newspaper, or joining one of the many student clubs on campus.
It isn't necessary to take a leadership position in a student organization on campus, in order to enjoy contributing to student life at your school. Sure, you have to live somewhere, but spending your freshman year in the dorms can give you the added benefit of making friends and establishing a social circle. Consider signing up for a meal plan, and gaining 10 pounds in the dining hall. Again, the purpose is to socialize and meet other students outside the classroom. Beyond consideration for Black Hills State support services, you may think about Worcester State University online short courses for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

This distinguished volume of Robinson's art covers the breadth of his comic work, from his early musings on the state of British industries and his very first inventions, to the mocking, anti-German propaganda created during the First World War, and final sketches of the Second, during which he died. "Contraptions" is a definitive collection that will enchant future generations for as long as machines remain machines and human beings need reminding that that is all they will ever be.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
W Heath Robinson began his career illustrating works of poetry and children's stories. At magazines such as The Sketch, he developed his humorous illustrations for adults, culminating in the series of inventions for which he became known by his contemporaries as 'The Gadget King'.From Publishers Weekly:
American readers will not recognize Robinson's name, but he can best be explained as the British version of American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, a specialist in visualizing absurdly complex combinations of low-tech devices arranged to perform simple tasks. This was also the specialty of cartoonist and illustrator Robinson, who was born a decade earlier, in 1872. It seems that in Britain a Heath Robertson contraption means the same thing that a Rube Goldberg machine does in the States. Oddly, editor Geoffrey Beare never mentions Goldberg in his introduction; perhaps Goldberg is as unknown in the U.K. as Robinson is here. Beare points to Robinson's skills as both artist and satirist. Robinson often depicts scenes from a low angle and gives them an epic scale, endowing his nonsensical machines with an ironic grandeur while mocking the indolence of the modern man, who would rather rely on gadgetry than perform a simple task himself. Through his cartoons Robinson conveys his own sheer joy in his amazing visual imagination. These cartoons are not laugh-out-loud funny, but are consistently inventive and amusing. The reader may find himself in the position of the black cat who turns up in numerous Robinson cartoons, quietly observing the follies of humanity, fascinated by them. (Nov.)

Predictions For Gold and Silver After the U.S. Strikes Syria Foolishness of the Momo Crowd
Kitco Commentaries | Opinions, Ideas and Markets Talk
Featuring views and opinions written by market professionals, not staff journalists.
After the U. S. struck Syria with missiles, the momo crowd has been buying gold and silver aggressively. I will give you my long-term prediction, but first you need to be aware of the foolishness of the momo (momentum) crowd.
Foolishness Of The Momo Crowd
To understand the foolishness of the momo crowd, take a look at the chart of gold futures after the news broke.
Please click here for the very short-term annotated chart of gold futures.
Gold futures spiked over $1271, only to fall back to about $1253.
Please note from the chart that VUD indicator does not show consistent buying. VUD indicator is the best indicator I know of measuring real buying and real selling in real time. Technical pattern of note is that gold crossed to the upside 200 day moving average. This was bullish. Now gold has crossed 200 day moving average again to the downside. Before putting too much faith in technical patterns, please see Mom and Pop Gold Traders' Lunch Eaten By Professionals, How Not To Become a Victim. ETFs of interest are gold ETF (GLD), silver ETF (SLV), gold miner ETF (GDX), and junior gold miner ETF (GDXJ).
The momo crowd was buying at $1270 and is now selling at $1253.
Buying at $1270 was foolish because the Syria strike is likely not to be followed with more strikes in the near future.
Very Long-Term
For the very long-term, more turmoil in the Middle East is positive for gold.
Please click here for the long-term annotated chart.

History is repeating itself. Those who do not learn from their history are bound to repeat it.
Mario Savio's 1964 UC Berkeley Speech on Civil DisobedienceIn 1964, Mario Savio's passionate speech rang out at UC Berkely, then throughout the air waves of tv and radio. He fueled the free speech movement of the sixties at UC Berkley, angered that students were not allowed to pass out political pamphlets on campus.
"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all! ... That doesn't mean that you have to break anything. One thousand people sitting down some place—not letting anybody by, not letting anything happen—can stop any machine, including this machine! And it will stop!"
The free speech movement later morphed into protests against the Vietnam war.
Mario passed away in 1996 at the age of 54. His words and passion will live on forever.
Mario Savio's The Machine Speech
Civil Disobedience - STUDENT REVOLT , USA, 1964
M. Savio was born in New York on Dec 8, 1942. in Catholic family. This WWII boy harbored aspirations of becoming a priest. In 1963, the 20-year old Savio spent the summer working with a Catholic relief organization in Taxco, Mexico. There, he contributed in helping to improve the sanitary problems of the ghetto slums by building sanitation facilities. No doubt he saw Hell on Earth in the time he spent in Mexico, exemplified in all of the weeping and wailing and mashing of teeth that characterizes its prevalence.
After returning home from Mexico in 1963, Savio's family had moved to California. There, he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley. One of the early incidents in which the agitator's reputation evolved was during a 1964 demonstration against the San Francisco Hotel Association's exclusion of blacks from non-menial jobs. While participating in the protest, Savio and 167 other demonstrators were arrested and charged with trespassing. During his imprisonment, Savio struck up a conversation with a fellow incarcerated protester who sparked his interest in heading to Mississippi during the summer of '64 to assist the Civil Rights movement. Savio joined the Freedom Summer projects in Mississippi, helping register African Americans to vote. Additionally, the budding orator taught at a freedom school for black children, no doubt honing his public speaking skills.
Savio returned to Berkeley in the fall of 1964 intent on remaining politically active after all the injustice he had witnessed firsthand. The young Berkeley student attempted to raise money for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), an important organization of the 1960's Civil Rights movement that had played a role in the 1963 sit-ins and freedom rides across the American South. To his unpleasant surprise, Savio discovered the university had banned all political activity and fund-raising. A classic response from the agitator, Savio laid it out in black and white. "Are we on the side of the civil rights movement? Or have we gotten back to the comfort and security of Berkeley, California, and can we forget the sharecroppers whom we worked with just a few weeks back? Well, we couldn't forget."
The UC Regents had long prohibited on-campus political activity at Berkeley prior to 1964. As a result, all political activity occurred on the Bancroft Strip in front of the Telegraph Avenue entrance to the campus. Based on the valid assumption that the Bancroft Strip was public property, the politically active community had an established reliance on this space as one in which political speech was protected from government restriction. In 1964, the UC Regents flipped the script on the mothafuckas, asserting that they had the right to restrict political activity on the Bancroft Strip because they did in fact own the property.
A demonstration broke out due to this stonewalling of the Free Speech Movement by the bureaucrats of the educational system. Jack Weinberg, a 24-year old Berkeley student, had set up a leafleting table on the plaza on behalf of the civil rights group. This action violated the campus' policy prohibiting on-campus political activity, and Weinberg was handcuffed and stuffed into the back of a police vehicle. Savio, at the sight of his friend being subjugated and silenced by the powers that be, climbed atop a police car and kicked off the Free Speech Movement with his electrifying oration. The philosophy student, in all his eloquence, made sure to take off his shoes before he ascended the blatant symbol of the machine's authority. Surrounded by thousands, straight-up in his fucking socks, Savio delivered the first blow to the establishment's oppressive grasp of people's right to assembly. For the next 32 hours, students surrounded the police car and held about 600 officers at bay. Savio would climb atop the police car one last time during that incident, telling the crowd that a short-term understanding had been reached with Clark Kerr, the UC President. Savio addressed the enraged multitude with sincerity, "I ask you to rise quietly and with dignity, and go home." The crowd, mesmerized by the tenacious empathy this man possessed, did exactly as he requested. The event would solidify Savio as an admirable symbol of the youth protests of the 1960's.
Protests continued that fall after the negotiations failed to alter the situation. The culmination of this series of demonstrations was the sit-in by thousands at Berkeley's Sproul Hall. On December 2, 1964, Mario Savio would deliver his legendary speech regarding the "operation of the machine." He gave this impassioned sermon in front of 4,000 people, with every one of them feeding off his energy while simultaneously reciprocating it back. Savio, along with 782 others, was arrested once again when the machine gave its foot soldiers the green-light to clear the area.
Eventually, the UC Board of Regents voted to drop the university restrictions on speech. Savio would comment on the outcome, "This free speech fight points up a fascinating aspect of contemporary campus life. Students are permitted to talk all they want, so long as their speech has no consequence." In true civil disobedient form, Savio served a four-month jail sentence for his part in the sit-in. He also received an additional two-day jail term for contempt of court, after the agitator called out a furious judge about the "shameless hypocrisy" of his trial.
( Mario Savio on the steps of Sproul Hall, Berkeley, December 2, 1964. )
Free Speech Movement
Mario Savio 's moral clarity, his eloquence, and his democratic style of leadership inspired thousands of fellow Berkeley students to protest university regulations which severely limited political speech and activity on campus. The non-violent campaign culminated in the largest mass arrest in American history, drew widespread faculty support, and resulted in a revision of university rules to permit political speech and organising. This significant advance for student freedom rapidly spread to countless other colleges and universities across the country

Our next on-line class really snuck up on us. It's TOMORROW NIGHT! As in Monday night, July 2 @ 8:30 pm ET. And it's one of my favorite classes. I know I keep saying that. 🙂 But the information in these classes really is the best stuff we could ever share. REGISTER HERE.
This class is about HOW ON EARTH TO SURVIVE A TRIAL. How to get through really, really crappy things that come our way. We're talking about stuff like divorce, infertility, a difficult relationship, death of loved ones, family situations that don't work out the way you planned, health issues, cheating spouses, being single when you wish you were married – or maybe your trial right now is just a crappy boss, indecision about life, unemployment, fear, anger, low self-worth, etc. It doesn't matter what the trial is, we believe that there is hope, there is a way to truly be free and delivered from the pain of that trial. Trust me, learning how to do that for yourself is the coolest thing you could ever do. The stuff we will teach is the exact stuff that changed our lives completely and has helped us to truly be happy and peace today. There are very specific things we did that made all the difference (stuff other people taught us to do.) It really, really works. And we have just felt so strongly that if we could do this, that other people could do this, too.
So grab your spouse, your loved ones, sisters, friends. We're ok to have you gather together to watch our class. Pop some popcorn and listen to some ideas about how you can make your life better right now. (I know firsthand that even just the act of doing something good for yourself makes you feel good.)
Much Love,
P.S. I was just thinking we should develop a class about dating. Would anyone be interested?

why storyland vintage?
Once upon a time, I began selling my used clothing on Livejournal when I was 17 under the name Drop Your Drawers. As my music went backwards into the 80's so did my clothing and instead of wearing new clothes I was hitting the thrifts and with that the little business I had created changed. Drop Your Drawers was now a Ebay store and later a store I built on my very own website. But out of high school and not as into my "in your face" store title I began to feel uncomfortable saying my store name to adults when they asked what my store was called. I was especially uncomfortable when I would check my website traffic logs and see that a large amount of traffic was coming in to my website from unsavory(to say the least) web searches when I was just trying to sell vintage dresses.
For a few years I had the name Storyland in my head, I felt it described me, my attitude and my style, but most of all paid homage to my past and what I am constantly inspired by. I asked friends for opinions about changing the name and some thought DYD was what made me stick out amongst a list of other vintage shops. So I kept it a year or two longer. But my heart was still set on changing the name, and so in 2009 I took the plunge, I changed the name to Storyland Vintage.
It's no surprise that I have a deep love for dark rides and amusement parks as I have blogged about them quite often. But what I haven't spoken about is that I spent almost every summer of my childhood as did my brother and sister at an amusement park in upstate NY, Great Escape. When I was still inside my mothers belly I was there, the first summer after I was born I was there, the years after that I was there. Great Escape had a Storytown a fantastic array of nursery rhyme characters and small houses from the 50's to walk through and play inside along with all the fun rides you expect at any park. This type of park wasn't uncommon in the 50's but there are few left surviving today, and its sad that kids today have such little options when it comes to amusement parks, it's mostly only ride parks now and there are 5 year olds on rides today I would have never gone on at their age! I owe some of my personal creativity and love of vintage and antiques to that park and to Charlie Wood the creator. I wish everyday could be like a trip to the amusement park, so that's where Storyland Vintage came in. There are even a few parks called Storyland scattered around the U.S. and although I didn't directly draw inspiration or my name from them, it's nice to see that they are still around providing a place for children to experience the same things I did as a child even though for me it was the late 80's early 90's.

USF gets patent for technology to improve stroke treatment
The University of South Florida's department of neurosurgery and brain repair has been granted a patent for a cell transplantation procedure that may make a difference in treating neurodegenerative diseases.
The technology, which combines human umbilical cord blood cells and a sugar-alcohol compound called mannitol, is expected to help in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and stroke, a release said.
Saneron CCEL Therapeutics Inc. has licensed the technology, the release said. Saneron is a biotechnology research and development firm, spun out from USF and located at the Tampa Bay Technology Incubator.
Transplanted human umbilical cord blood cells can benefit several neurological diseases, but there has been a problem in getting them past a blood-brain barrier that separates circulating blood and cerebral spinal fluid in the central nervous system.
The newly patented technology helps get the therapeutic substances secreted by human umbilical cord blood cells past the barrier and into the central nervous system, because mannitol temporarily shrinks the tight cells that make up the barrier, the release said.
The new technology potentially will help Saneron develop a variety of products and therapies to minimize and repair damage to the brain, Nicole Kuzmin-Nicholas, president and chief operating officer of Saneron, said in the release.

From Associated Press:
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Young protesters broke down a metal fence guarding an air base in Caracas on Saturday before being repelled by security forces firing tear gas in another day of anti-government protests in Venezuela's capital.
Demonstrators threw stones, and some protesters were injured.
The clashes took place after a peaceful mass demonstration next to La Carlota base where a 22-year-old protester was killed this week when a national guardsman shot him in the chest at close range with rubber bullets.

Denver Health And Hospital Authority
DENVER – Nearly 10 months after a affected person at Denver Health Medical Center was attacked by a fellow patient, it seems the suspect will not face trial as a result of he has dementia. Departments that must be most accessible to the neighborhood corresponding to pressing care, the pharmacy and dental services, are all located close to the power's entrance. In addition to a large major hospital and emergency room, Denver Health includes eight neighborhood well being facilities, each equipped with its personal pharmacy, and one other thirteen faculty-based health centers. In 1997, Gabow convinced Mayor Wellington Webb that the organization may higher function away from town's bureaucracy, and Denver Health was established as a public, tutorial and impartial well being system. All health and charitable places of work were moved from City Hall and consolidated at Denver General, which was accredited in 1924 by the American College of Surgeons and the American Medical Association. While well being care reform affects Denver Health in principally constructive ways, challenges abound.
The Denver Department of Environmental Health (DEH), a Denver authorities agency, manages and oversees the operating settlement to contract with Denver Health and Hospital Authority (DHHA) to supply services related to the medical investigations and medical services for illness control (including clinics)and the administration of vital delivery and death records. The important Hospital is equipped with wards capable of caring for inmates from the county jails and Colorado Department of Corrections inmates.
It additionally partners with the University of Colorado Denver on a mentoring program that pairs physicians with minority students, and with Denver Public Schools on a Medical Careers Pathways program for highschool students. The Obama administration was relying on enrolling enough commercially insured patients to generate ample income for hospitals like Denver Health that they would not need Disproportionate Share Hospital funds, Lindsay said. The hospital and its community of group well being facilities and specialty clinics posted an operating margin of $36 million last yr, most of which comes from Medicaid enlargement funds. Denver Health services lengthen past our fundamental campus to every of our ten major care clinic areas.
For your comfort, Denver Health accepts a wide range of medical health insurance plans Many insurance coverage companies require pre-authorization for some procedures. The opening of the brand new clinic coincided with the fiftieth anniversary of the first Denver Health group health middle, built within the Five Points neighborhood. He is also Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. He mentioned Denver Health changed quickly after Gonzalez changed Dr. Patricia Gabow at the helm in 2012.
In 1971, Denver General Hospital completed its new $12.5 million, 9-story hospital at eighth Avenue and Bannock Street. Through Denver Health's 24-hour NurseLine (housed within the RMPDC), patients can get free and confidential answers to well being-related questions, possibly avoiding costly Emergency Room visits. In 1992, Patricia A. Gabow, MD, director of the Denver General Hospital medical service since 1981 and deputy manager of medical affairs since 1989, turned CEO of Denver General Hospital. The health middle will supply urgent care, main care, women's health services, Women, Infants and Children meals and vitamin providers, pediatrics, a pharmacy, dental providers, integrative behavioral and more.
