Published at Sunday, May 19th, 2019 - 06:27:23 AM. Resume Template. By Adelbert Peters.
It is easier than you might think to write a superb administrative resume that can help you to get the job of your dreams. However it is good to read as many administrative resume examples as you can before you start working on your resume. By browsing thorough the available examples, you will gain a really good insight about how a good administrative resume should look.
Keep in mind that HR personnel of most companies are very good when it comes to detail. You can't blame them because they are trained to sift through loads of resumes everyday just to find that perfect candidate for a job. That is why it is important that you use samples to your advantage. You should also be detail oriented and observe the formatting and style.

I was really looking forward to finding out what Young-sook meant by "play all night." That next Thursday after work we met at 흑백 for dinner. 흑백 is near KHI Institute and close to Young-sook's neighborhood. We had some pork cutlet with steamed rice and a couple OB lagers. After dinner she suggested we take a walk and we set off in the direction of her parent's house. I started to get bummed out because I thought she had changed her mind about "all night" because "all night" usually meant downtown and downtown is the other direction. The more we walked the more I moped along. Then out of the blue she asks, "Have you ever seen a traditional Korean 여관?
"I'll take you on a tour of one." I remember her exact words: "구경시켜 줄께."
She turned us down a sidestreet and wordlessly steered us into 세종관 여관. Up the stairs I followed, she said something to the owner and handed him what looked to be a single 만원자리. He, in turn, handed over a room key. I got the distinct impression she had done this all before.
There was no bed in the room. A thin pad on the floor and two hard block pillows. While I puzzled and giggled to myself, she disappeared into the bathroom. When she returned she was wearing a long-sleeved button-up dress shirt over her panties. Where that shirt came from I have no idea.
The next morning, for some reason that I myself cannot explain, I left Young-sook at the 세종관 very early to go teach my morning "free-talking" class. My most hated class.
I had pretty much understood a 여관 to be a cheap, no frills motel, but I didn't grasp the unspoken significance of 여관 in Korean culture until many years later. Many years after my first all-night guided tour of one with Spa Shopping Levi's Corner's Kim Young-sook. She was a true ambassador of Korean culture and I celebrate her to this day.

Q. I don't remember when, but there was a New York City political campaign that included a jingle:
How can you miss
With a ticket like this
Lefkowitz, Gilhooley and Fino
Can you fill in the details for me?
A. F.Y.I. thanks Alice Furlaud for her question. That jingle, broadcast from sound trucks in English and Spanish, was used in 1961 in the unsuccessful attempt by Louis J. Lefkowitz, a Republican from the Lower East Side who was the state attorney general, to defeat Mayor Robert F. Wagner. His ticket included Representative Paul A. Fino of the Bronx, running for City Council president, and John J. Gilhooley of Brooklyn, a former assistant secretary of labor, for city comptroller.
Here are some other stanzas:
Let's make a note
To get out and vote
For Lefkowitz, Gilhooley and Fino
You'll be safe in the park
Any time after dark
With Lefkowitz, Gilhooley and Fino
There'll be new golden rules
You'll be proud of your schools
With Lefkowitz, Gilhooley and Fino
That fine City Hall
Will be open to all
With Lefkowitz, Gilhooley and Fino.
The campaign pressed 5,000 records of the song, which was written, with original music, by the professional songwriters Mario Del Guercio, Ted Eddy and Frank Davis. It was performed at a Republican fund-raiser before former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller. Ike reportedly loved it. The campaign had minstrels following Mr. Lefkowitz on his walking tours, singing it.
The song and the slate were cited as an example of New York City ticket-balancing "almost to the point, indeed, of caricature" by Nathan Glazer and Daniel P. Moynihan in "Beyond the Melting Pot: The Negroes, Puerto Ricans, Jews, Italians and Irish of New York City" (second edition, 1970). "Ethnic considerations have always been primary in New York City politics," Mr. Glazer and Mr. Moynihan wrote, referring to the practice of dividing candidacies for what were then the three major citywide offices — mayor, City Council president and comptroller — among a Jew, an Italian and an Irishman (or an occasional white Protestant).
The Republicans lost that November to the ticket of Mr. Wagner, Paul R. Screvane and Abraham D. Beame, who later became mayor. They in turn had won a bruising Democratic primary against the similarly balanced slate of Arthur M. Levitt, Justice Joseph DiFede and State Senator Thomas J. Mackell.
Q. What were the city's worst sweatshops?
A. While the garment industry, centered on the Lower East Side, was described by the Cosmopolitan magazine of a century ago as "the most grinding oppression that can be practiced on a woman," it was not the most inherently dangerous, Otto L. Bettmann wrote in 1974 in "The Good Old Days: They Were Terrible!"
"There were the soap-packing plants, for instance, where girls were exposed to caustic soda that turned their nails yellow and ate away at their fingers," Mr. Bettmann wrote. "There were the flower-making workshops where arsenic, liberally applied to produce vivid colors, wrecked the appearance and health of thousands of girls with sores, swelling of the limbs, nausea and, often, complete debility."
"But nothing," he went on, "compared with the hazards and indignities of the tobacco 'in home' factories. Here, for a meager income, women and children were forced to endure the most sickening exhalations as they stripped the leaves. Harper's Magazine described the effects of endless hours of this work: 'Their eyes are dead, a stupor overcomes them, their nerves are unsettled and their lungs diseased in almost every case.' "
Tragically, the garment industry did turn out to be the most fatal in practice. The Triangle Waist Company fire on March 25, 1911, killed 146 people, all but 23 of them young women. The fire galvanized the labor movement in New York City and led to sweeping legislation to improve workplace safety, limit the workweek and curb the worst abuses of the sweatshops.

Not much to report this Sunday as I'm starting to wind down on this year's yop list. I've looked over it and have complete pretty much what I want off of it. I've not caught up fully with dishcloths but these tend to be an ongoing knit project that I do. Anything else that's left I just don't feel the love of starting and trying to complete before end of month. I may do the Hermione sock so I have a pair and get that out of the way. I finished off a couple of projects from last Sunday and in case you missed my FO post on Friday here is just a glimpse of them, for details check back on the post.
On Wednesday I was also working on a bag for Elizabeth's birthday later this week and I have completed that. This is again a design out of my head and I love the way it turned out. I used Stylecraft Special in a DK weight with a 4mm hook and I lined it with felt.
I have a selection of knit and crochet headband patterns that I'm going to look through and do some for both Caoimhe (who's birthday is the 23rd of this month) and Elizabeth (who's birthday is the 26th of this month). I also have a bag I need to do for Caoimhe as well. I'm trying to do these as a surprise but I think that is a bit to ambitious ! So for this coming week I'll be working on birthday surprises. I do have a milo vest to do for Elizabeth but as that's for the autumn it can wait another week or so.
I have been gathering up my ideas also for next years yop list so I can have most of that organised for the start of July.

The LSE is the most worldwide of all inventory exchanges with 350 firms from greater than 50 international locations, and it's the premier supply of fairness-market liquidity , benchmark prices and market knowledge in Europe. The FTSE 250 – which is mostly made up of UK stocks – fared worse this morning, falling by round 0.5 per cent. Most FOREX trades are entered and exited in 1 24-hour span, and traders have to keep a detailed watch on the market in order to make worthwhile trades.
We checked out how inventory markets have moved over the previous 20 years, each in the UK, as measured by the FTSE All-Share Index, and globally, by the FTSE World Index. Eager to strengthen its UK platform, it made numerous subsequent acquisitions including the professional companies arm of Quindell for £637m in 2015.
The excellent news is: The weakness that began late last month should end soon, although, there is prone to be one more leg down. On the FTSE 250 index MCX, +1.00{bd2d32acf07d149ac3d02584c647cdd9da797295e61d9466ac2c29ee9998b62a} Balfour Beatty PLC BBY, -zero.99{bd2d32acf07d149ac3d02584c647cdd9da797295e61d9466ac2c29ee9998b62a} climbed 5.6{bd2d32acf07d149ac3d02584c647cdd9da797295e61d9466ac2c29ee9998b62a} after Peel Hunt upgraded the development companies firm's ranking to buy, saying management has significantly diminished funding-related risks.
These are highly regarded with inventory market investors as a result of you should buy and promote them similar to you'd with bizarre shares. For instance, as will be seen within the accompanying chart, the FTSE All-Share Index has declined over eight{bd2d32acf07d149ac3d02584c647cdd9da797295e61d9466ac2c29ee9998b62a} in three years since 2000.
While the pound's fall is unhealthy for UK firms, the FTSE one hundred is usually made up of multinationals that profit from the hunch in sterling. Inventory traders have been very form to the FTSE one hundred stock index for many of this yr. We are able to best see the shut agreement between the bond and stock market after we look at high yield credit spreads and the stock market volatility index within the chart under.

Several years ago, Leo, an Scottdale-based accounting professional that started his career in Toronto, made a decision to purchase a residence. Hed cut corners as well as conserved and made just adequate cash to acquire an apartment in an eastern residential area of Toronto, called Scarborough. He asked around his office and figured out that Debbie, an advertising and marketing agent in the very same business, had made use of an exceptional real estate agent simply in 2014 to buy her residence.

Rotary Club of Milwaukee Podcasts
The value of higher education in our region has never been more critical – for talent development, entrepreneurship and the economy. University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone will share how Wisconsin's only public, urban, top-tier research university has taken a leading role in regional talent partnerships and addressing societal needs in the state and further afield. Through strategic re-invention and research, UW-Milwaukee is redefining itself and the region through "Big Projects" like the Connected Systems Institute, Lubar Entrepreneurship Center, Freshwater University, and M3 with Milwaukee Public Schools and Milwaukee Area Technical College to close the achievement gap. These powerful partnerships harness the collective vitalities of academia, business, our communities and government to create essential change.
Higher education faces increasingly strong headwinds, threatening to bring educational progress to a halt unless innovative responses to 21st century challenges are quickly developed and implemented. Marquette University President Michael R. Lovell will discuss how Wisconsin's largest private university is creating innovative responses to those headwinds with a new focus on academics and research, the student experience, and community building. These approaches involve Marquette creating new academic programs that match the needs of Southeastern Wisconsin organizations, devoting renewed attention on students' health and well-being, and working with community partners to create a stronger, more vibrant Near West Side.

Peach State says: My Second Cup of Coffee!
Coffee drinkers unite! Coffee is just like Lays Potato Chips…You can never drink just one! Waking up, taking a few moments to yourself, spending time with friends, and/or still not awake are all quality reasons for that second cup of coffee. Mmm…My Second Cup of Coffee!
I sit here, this quiet Saturday morning, and steadily sip on my oversized 20oz cup filled with, yes…you guessed it, espresso! A steaming rich collection of vanilla and the tiniest bit of non-fat milk mixed with bold espresso. I know what you may be thinking…"How many shots of espresso does she drink?" I confess I nap, sometimes, and sleep fairly well at night. I was born this way…to drink coffee that is. Coffee is in my blood! "That is a good blog title!"
During the summer months, or at least the days there is no school, I enjoy sitting with my hubby in his office. I fix his coffee and breakfast and wake his royal highness out of his sweet slumber. We converge on the office for our mutual wake up session. A little light conversation and laughter together to start the day. All the while with our coffee, the ever vigilant companion. This morning we watched three Rascal Flatts videos instead of the news. "What a wonderful change!"
It is a well know fact…at least in my extended family…that major topics of conversation and questions regarding schedules and money are not brought up until the Second Cup! We take our time and enjoy the small things in life…quietly! "Sorry…for a moment I thought I was on Fantasy Island!" The word "quietly" is a real stinker.
Hubby leaves for his day at work and I settle back and give thought to my day. There are a few things on the agenda for today but nothing major. The boys, the 21 and 19 year olds, will have their jobs and I will be here with the 11 year old. "He seems content with his job…annoying and to question everything!" It is still and quiet in the house right now…except for the soothing snores from my Precious Princess. I am finished with this cup and will refill shortly…
I would like to finish my book today but will definitely require My Second Cup of Coffee! Maybe I will just stretch out for a few minutes before the Carousel of Life begins it's daily up and down, spinning motion.
I hope you are able to relax today…and take a little time for you! Whether it is coffee or tea…enjoy your break! Have a great day!

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett was sprayed with pepper spray and struck after he
surrendered following an early morning chase last week, his lawyer
said Sunday.
"It is our contention that both of those things occurred after
he was in handcuffs," said attorney Michael Hoague, who added that
his client obeyed police commands.
Hoague is representing Clarett in an unrelated robbery trial
that was to start Monday but postponed until September when a judge
ordered a psychiatric evaluation after Clarett's latest arrest.
Officers said Clarett was driving erratically when they tried to
pull him over Wednesday. He refused to get out of the sport utility
vehicle he was driving, prompting several officers to remove him by
force, police said.
Clarett was wearing a bulletproof vest that rendered stun guns
ineffective. It took several officers to handcuff him, and he
kicked at the doors of a van he was placed in and spit at officers,
prompting them to put a mask over his mouth, police said.
Hoague claimed Clarett was compliant throughout.
During the pursuit, Clarett called his mother and fiancee to
tell them he loved them. He asked his mother to call his lawyer,
Hoague said.
"A person who calls his loved ones to say, 'I'm about to go to
jail,' does not have the mind-set to put up a fight," Hoague said,
adding that Clarett laid on the ground when he surrendered.
Messages seeking comment from Columbus police detectives and
public information officers weren't immediately returned Sunday.
Hoague also said a blow to the face bloodied Clarett's lip and
that he was trying to clear his mouth of blood and pepper spray,
not spit at police.
Clarett was charged with carrying a concealed weapon after
officers found three semiautomatic handguns and an assault rifle,
all loaded, in the SUV.
He was heading to a hotel room with items he had collected from
his fiancee's mother's house when he was pulled over, Hoague said.
"He had everything from his clothes to his high school diploma
in the car" as he tried to get his affairs in order for the
upcoming trial, Hoague said.
Clarett's arrest prompted a Franklin County Common Pleas Judge
David Fais to raise his bond to $1.1 million in the robbery case,
in which he is accused of holding up two people outside a downtown
bar on New Year's Day. Bond for the concealed weapons charge was
set at $5 million, which Clarett's attorneys said he most likely
wouldn't be able to pay.
As a freshman, Clarett scored the winning touchdown in the
second overtime of the Fiesta Bowl against Miami to lead Ohio State
to the 2002 national championship, but was suspended for the
following season after being charged with falsely reporting a theft
to police.
After dropping out of school, Clarett unsuccessfully challenged
the NFL's draft eligibility rule. The Denver Broncos made him a
surprise third-round pick the following year but cut him during

Hey Joan! It was nice chatting with you.. hope we can do it again soon!
We got back around 130pm. I spent the afternoon at Dick's and BJ's. As in Dick's Sporting Goods and BJ's Wholesale Club. I found cleats and socks for Moira and managed to get out of there by spending only $34.47. I really wanted the damn WalMart cleats for $9.99 ::sigh:: I spent a lot of money at BJ's - we had no meat left! I hate spending all that money at the supermarket when I can get it at the wholesale club for much cheaper. Well - gotta go be productive... chat later!
Off to go shopping. Wish me luck that I find some cleats! Yesterday, I asked Moira what she wanted for dinner tonight. I told her she could pick a special dinner before the first day of school. Spaghetti and sausage was her request. I cooked the sausage last night and now it's simmering in the crockpot. All I will do is make some garlic bread and a nice tossed salad. Yum!

As many of you have probably noticed I took 2 months off of blogging. I just needed to hit the reset button on things and recharge a bit. Although I want to change some things on my blog, my monthly goals will not be going away. I am still going to be setting 5 monthly goals that I will track throughout the month and will let you know how I do. Here are my goals for March
Goal #1
I am going to post 1 blog per week. I've noticed that a lot of my blog posts happen at the very beginning and very end of every month while the middle of the month is void of content. Going forward I want to schedule out my posts better so there is one every week.
Goal #2
Read everyday. I've still got a huge stack of books I haven't touch and about 15 unread books on my Kindle. Life gets busy and it's hard to sit and read when you can think of other productive things that need to be done. I've found that reading really recharges me and that it's okay to take a break to recharge.
Goal #3
Take 1 picture everyday. For a while I was taking a picture everyday and posting it to my Instagram account. I love looking back on those pictures because it reminds me of what life was like then. I miss having those moments captured so I can go back and see them. I've signed up for the 100 Days of Happiness Challenge twice to hold myself accountable and it worked. So in March I plan to sign up again and take a picture of something that makes me happy everyday.
Goal #4
Get my insomnia under control. For the past 2 months I have had really bad insomnia. This happens from time to time with me. Some of it has to do with me being a night owl and some from my anxiety. Either way, my insomnia has gotten really bad and I don't think I can handle much more. My plan to fix this is to turn off all screens by 10 p.m. and drink camomile tea. I know that I could take melatonin capsules but I'd like to take a more natural approach to begin with.
Goal #5
Exercise 10 minutes or more a day. I think part of my insomnia problem is that I don't really move throughout the day. I walk around my house or the grocery store but not much else. I want to spend at least 10 minutes exerting real energy which should make sleep come easier.

When Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, he was writing to a church that was overloaded with disunity and lack of discipline. It seemed as if Corinth was a body of individuals rather than individuals operating as a united body. It is in this context that Paul starts informing Corinth about the nature and use of spiritual gifts.
It seems that individualism destroys the power of a united body of individuals. While we don't ever deny that each of us have individual responsibility before the Lord and are individual members of the local church, we cannot divorce this from the fact that each of the individual members contribute to the whole body. This really is the essence of Paul's analogy of how parts of the human body work together so that the whole body can operate (1 Cor. 12:14-20). The big idea in Paul's appeal to Corinth is found in verse 7, "To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good." This means that God has given gifts, abilities and talents to individual people for the benefit of a common people. But who are the common people?
At the very beginning of this discussion, Paul differentiates the church from the world. He says that it is never in the Spirit of God that someone can say "Jesus is accursed." It is only in the Spirit of God that someone can say, "Jesus is Lord" (1 Cor 12:2-30). The common people have a common confession. They are known by their outward confession of the Lordship of Christ. This is something that would also then be displayed in their life as they submit to him as King. This confession controls the unity and purpose of the Family of God.
When we ignore this common confession, individualism distorts the very nature of a spiritual gift and brings division rather than unity. This is because we can become much more concerned about the power and use of our own gift than having a concern for the common good or the common confession. We can lust after that which feeds our individual egos than that which builds up another member of the body. We seek after the power and manifestation of a gift of the spirit and forget about the confession of Christ that underlines its very purpose. Paul said that, "no one can say that Jesus is Lord except in the Holy Spirit" (12:3). The Spirit's role is to testify of Christ (John 15:26). If we seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit for our own benefit rather than the testimony of Christ for the common good of the body, we are turning our gifts into grief. If we attempt to gain an individualistic, self-absorbed manifestation of the Spirit's power, the testimony of Christ is not evident and the Spirit himself is not in it.
God has gifted each member of the church to serve each other as one common body, in one Spirit empowered confession of Christ. Our gifts are essentially all about the one confession that brought us all together in the first place, namely, the gospel of Jesus Christ. If the center of all that we do in the church is not the confession of Christ, the Spirit is not with us. But if we confess Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit, the body functions in united purpose, and God is glorified. When it comes to spiritual gifts, let's say "no" to individualism and say "yes" to a common confession for the common good.

?The future is already here ? it's just not very evenly distributed.?
?William Gibson
When will the KUKA robots at the Mercedes plant in Beijing be replaced by indigenous, Chinese-built robots of equal quality and performance, that are easily programmed, are much cheaper, and offer tax incentives enough to make CFOs grin from ear to ear? Probably, just after Great Wall Motors proudly marches its army of Chinese robots into production.
"China is the fastest growing market in robotics, and by 2014 it will top the global market." International Federation of Robotics.
Robots everywhere are key to industrial success, not just in China, but to all manufacturing from food, to electronics to durable goods to heavy industry. They are not luxury items but must-have critical national assets for any country?s economic survival and hoped-for prosperity.
The opportunity for China to manufacture its own, indigenous robots?and even export them to places like India?has never been better.
Reminiscent of colonial powers cutting up China?s geography, foreign robot manufacturers are now staking out claims to China?s industrial robot markets. It rankles the Chinese more than the West can ever truly understand, and like foreign colonies before them, the window is closing on foreign robot manufacturers?even though some have just arrived to set up shop.
Total reliance on foreign robot manufacturers, but not for long.
"You don't have to be an expert to see the (quality) gap between Chinese cars and those made by companies like Audi and Volkswagen," said Li Shaohui, who oversees automatic control engineering for Great Wall Motors. "To beat those competitors we have no choice but to use a higher level of equipment and technology."
That exact sentiment is echoed throughout every segment of Chinese manufacturing. And not just in high-visibility industries like automobiles but also in places like the UBase factory in Ningbo City which makes refrigerators, freezers, stoves and washing machines? Common and utilitarian, but important stuff nonetheless. Right now the situation in China means total reliance on foreign robot manufacturers, but not for long.
China will probably never have the innovation style and dash of Western countries, as, for example, in the latest MIT discovery of the first all-carbon photovoltaic cells (from Carbon 60 fullerenes) that will make China?s world-leading silicon solar panel industry obsolete.
China?s brand of innovation, what it calls indigenous innovation, mostly comes down to hard work and access to Western technology. Beijing requires foreign manufacturers in China to operate in joint ventures, in hopes their Chinese partners will learn and grow.
Before making a deal for a joint venture, the Chinese insist on a willingness to transfer technology to China and employ Chinese in upper management. Indigenous innovation is part IP technology transfer, part scrutiny from a joint venture partners and part being industrious enough to cobble it all together into a viable product.
They've done it with computers, computer chips, supercomputers, aircraft and avionics, right on down to using Russian engineering for the recent national high-tech triumph of Jing Haipeng and his Shenzhou-9 space mates.
Along the way, Made in China is already transforming its reputation, as Made in Japan did before it, into a manufacturer of high-quality domestic goods capable of supporting a flourishing export market.
Just recently, ?China Telecom successfully entered the UK mobile communications market for 2013 as well as the French mobile communications market; China Telecom will continue in 2014 with entry into Germany, Italy and the mobile communications market in Spain.?
The economics that brought about Great Wall Motors (now with exports up 42%), in response to foreign hegemony in motor vehicles, may bring about Great Wall Robots. Foreign automakers still dominate but Zh?ngguo, Middle Nation, is watching closely as it is with robots.
The timing couldn?t be better for a homegrown, big-time robotics manufacturing effort, which may happen sooner than anyone thinks.
The social and economic ingredients are already in place.
For the first time in its history there are more people in China?s cities 690 million (twice the population of the U.S.) than in the countryside 680 million. That critical and ongoing shift means lots of city folks will be needing lots of durable goods like automobiles, stoves and refrigerators, all of which means lots of manufacturing is going on everywhere, with lots of opportunity for industrial robots to lend a metal arm or two to the cause.
Although the Chinese economy has tumbled from 11.9 percent growth (1Q2010) to just under 8 percent in 2012, it?s still a corker of an economy with a GDP of $5T. The economies of its BRIC brethren are wobbly, at best; Europe?s economy is, well, Euro-grim; and the U.S. economy, battered and bruised, is trying to pull off a Rocky Balboa, but needs time.
The following news dispatches amply demonstrate the impact of robots on China?s manufacturing sectors, and more importantly, the dawningly inescapable realization by the Chinese just how important these machines really are.
News dispatch #1: Reuters from Baoding, China?
The giant orange robotic arms that swiftly weld together car frames at the Great Wall Motors factory in Baoding might seem like the perfect answer to China's fast-rising labor costs – they don't ask for a raise, get injured or go on strike.
For Great Wall, a private sector Chinese car maker that employs 50,000 workers, the Swiss robots and other machinery that line its bright factory floor produce more than cost savings. The company hopes they will help it build cars good enough to compete with the global auto makers.
"You don't have to be an expert to see the (quality) gap between Chinese cars and those made by companies like Audi and Volkswagen," said Li Shaohui, who oversees automatic control engineering for the company. "To beat those competitors we have no choice but to use a higher level of equipment and technology."
From car plants to microchip foundries, China's industrial sector increasingly runs by machine.
China is growing far faster than Japan did at a comparable stage of development
According to Nomura, 28 per cent of factory machines in China use numerical controls – one measure of automation. That may be far lower than Japan's 83 per cent, but China is growing far faster than Japan did at a comparable stage of development, says Ge Wenjie, a machinery analyst with Nomura.
One of the biggest could be Foxconn Technology Group, maker of products for tech giant Apple, which is talking of plans to put a million robots in its factories.
The army of cheap laborers that made China a manufacturing powerhouse is neither as vast as once thought nor as cheap as it was.
In response, manufacturers have been spending heavily on machines that will both make them more productive and let them churn out higher quality goods.
That change will pose a growing challenge for the US, European and Japanese industrial companies not used to competing with Chinese firms in the high-end segments of their markets.
In other words, China may soon be known less for cheap Christmas toys and more for high-end medical equipment, luxury cars and jet engines.
"You will see foreign players facing more and more pressure from leading local manufacturers upgrading their products, their quality and their scale," said Raymond Tsang, a China-based partner with consultancy Bain.
Great Wall has seen some early success with it own efforts to take on the global brands. The company's solidly built Haval SUV and cheerfully named Wingle pickup truck have gained a foothold in Australia, where they sell for about half the price of comparable Japanese models.
Four of its models became the first Chinese cars to pass Europe's safety and emissions requirements, though they aren't yet on sale there.
The cost of a robot
Automation doesn't come cheap. A factory floor robot of the kind in Great Wall's plant costs about $50,000 according to Ge of Nomura, and a production line might easily have 100 of them. There is also the cost of downtime, when machines need to be maintained or adjusted to handle new products.
For years, low wages meant automation was simply not worth the expense. A company didn't need to buy a packaging machine when it was cheaper to hire a room full of workers to do the same thing.
But steady cost rises are tilting the balance in favor of machines. Last year, urban labor costs in China increased 12.3 per cent in inflation-adjusted terms for private companies, which face a worsening labor shortage.
"Everyone is doing this because there's tremendous competition in China and the cost of raw materials is going up and wages are going up," said Andy Rothman, an economist with CLSA in Hong Kong. "So really, the only way that most companies can survive is to raise productivity and the best way to do that here is to add a little bit more equipment."
Demand for higher quality
The demand for higher quality also weighs in favor of automation. An engine block built by a worker positioning the drill by hand won't be as good – or sell for as much money – as one fashioned by machine.
"The big driver (for automation) is quality and consistency, especially for high tech," said Bain's Tsang. "For Chinese players to compete globally, they have to reach certain standards and be certified by their customers – automation is necessary to improve the quality."
The government sees that too. It has made industrial upgrading one of the key priorities of its latest five year plan, alongside rebalancing the economy toward greater domestic consumption. That has led Beijing to pour billions of dollars into strategic industries like clean energy and high-speed rail and to encourage imports of advanced machinery.
Still, it will be years before the lonely, fully automated production lines of high-end Japanese manufacturers are common in China. Its workforce remains huge and, even with inflation, dramatically cheaper than Japan's or Germany's.
"In China, we'll see things become much more automated than they are now, but I don't think it will ever be like Japan. There are just too many people in China," said Ge.
Among companies making the big shift to automation is Foxconn, whose chairman Terry Gou said last summer the firm would put up to 1 million robots in its massive Chinese factories over three years.
In Foxconn's case, the step follows not just rising labor costs but also a string of worker suicides and allegations of poor working conditions.
More productive
Surging demand for automation is a boon for makers of such equipment as sensors, frequency converters, conveyor belts, pneumatic systems.
Mitsubishi Electric Corp, which like Switzerland's ABB Ltd, Japan's Fanuc and others, supplies such devices to China, sees sales there rising from 60 billion yen in 2011 to 100 billion yen by 2015, according to Masaki Shiroshita, president of Mitsubishi Electric Automation (China), Ltd.
The trend will also affect the broader economy. Despite China's manufacturing prowess, its productivity is strikingly low. The average US worker in a goods-producing job produces $84,580 worth of exports compared with just $5,228 for a Chinese worker, according to consulting firm High Frequency Economics.
That gap – a ratio of 16 to 1 – is partly explained by the higher-value items made in US factories, but also by the heavy application of capital and technology.
"Automation and mechanization is an incredibly important driver of productivity increase," said Louis Kuijs, an economist with the Fung Global Institute in Hong Kong. "There is huge scope for China to get more productivity out of its workers by doing this upgrading."

Rising wages in China feeding a boom in the robotics industry
Rising wages in China may be squeezing the profits of many manufacturers — but they are also feeding a boom in the robotics industry.
Wages in China's cities rose 12.4% last year, while in rural areas they were boosted by 21.9%, according to figures from China's National Bureau of Statistics.
While that may be good for workers, manufacturers are softening the blow to their balance sheets by turning to robotics — which are cheaper, faster and deliver high quality.
"China will be the biggest robotic market, so it is important to be here."
China is the fastest growing market in robotics, and by 2014 it will top the global market, according to the International Federation of Robotics.
One company seeking to tap this demand is German-based KUKA Robotics, which is setting up a regional hub in the country. "With the increase in the wages we can see a big automation wave coming," said Till Reuter, chief executive of KUKA Robotics.
"China is the market that is still growing, and growing at a fast pace compared to Europe and the U.S., " he said. "China will be the biggest robotic market, so it is important to be here."
The auto industry, for example, is becoming increasingly reliant on robotics. China is the world's largest auto market and European car manufacturers are setting up facilities in the region, all of which will be reliant on robotics.
BMW opened a new plant in Shenyang last month and Volkswagen plans to double its capacity to four million cars by 2018, by investing in three new plants in Yizheng, Foshan and Ningbo and upgrading existing ones in Changchun, Nanjing and Chengdu.
China's robotics industry still lags that in other countries. In Japan, for example, there are 306 robots working per 10,000 people while in China there are currently only 15.
KUKA plans to capture the potential by producing more efficient models that will continue to drive down costs for manufacturers.
Our advantage is innovation, we need to keep it alive and work towards the next generation
Till Reuter, chief executive of KUKA Robotics, "Our advantage is innovation," said Reuter, "we need to keep it alive and work towards the next generation. It gives us an advantage in China, but also in the rest of the world."
As China's robotics industry catches up with others, the country's manufacturers are also looking at ever newer ways to improve.

It is easy to see how enabling live-donors to donate HLA-incompatible kidneys to those awaiting transplant can greatly improve the discrepancy between organ need and availability that Dr. Orandi spoke of in response to my prior question. I also know that for many people who have loved ones with kidney disease, an opportunity to be a donor will be seen as an immense privilege. However, I can imagine that in relationships where there is a power inequity between potential donor and hopeful organ recipient, the fact that HLA-compatibility is no longer necessary for donation can lead to intense pressure on the donor. Do you foresee this being an important risk in the future of transplant? Are there currently and/or should there be more safeguards put into place to protect people from donating against their will?

DOVER — School Board members are seeking candidates to serve on a search committee that will determine who will lead the School District after Superintendent John O'Connor retires this summer.
The board decided Monday to form a 13-member committee that will examine a pared down list of applicants for the superintendent position and recommend a selection of at least three finalists, from which the School Board will choose the next superintendent.
Numerous school administrators have already expressed interest in serving on the committee, however, School Board members emphasized Monday that they want the committee to represent a cross-section of the city and include a representation of staff, parents and other taxpayers who may not even have children in the school system.
An exact deadline to form the committee has not yet been decided, but the superintendent search is on a fast-paced deadline and board members said they hope to have the committee formed sometime in mid April.
The board is waiting, however, to form the committee until after a series of public forums are held to solicit input from city residents about the attributes they are seeking in a new superintendent.
Five of those forums are currently planned to be held before April 15 — when the School Board plans to select the semifinalist candidates to be reviewed by the search committee — and board members said Monday that they will ideally be held next week.
Exactly who will host those forums was still unofficial Monday night, but board members said they planned to ask the three elementary school parent teacher organizations to hold a forum in each of the elementary schools. In order to make the process less school-centric, the board also planned to ask a city official to host a forum in City Hall and an independent organization, such as the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce, to host the fifth forum.
The School Board is hoping to hire a superintendent by May 14, using an aggressive schedule that sets numerous deadlines throughout April and May.
An advertisement for the position has already been posted, and the district is accepting applications until April 10.
Once the semifinalists are selected by the School Board by April 15, the search committee will interview those semifinalists and select a group of finalists by the week of April 26. That same week, the public announcement of finalists will be made.
During the first week of May, district representatives are planning to make on-site visits to the current job sites of the finalists and telephone reference checks will be administered.
The School Board is expected to interview the finalists again between May 10 and May 14 before announcing the new superintendent.
Anybody who would like to become a member of the search committee should either contact School Board members directly or contact the superintendent's office.

The Woman Caught in Adultery/
Reflection on the Gospel of John, 8:1-11, the 5th Sunday of Lent.
"Master, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery, and in the Law Moses has ordered us to stone women of this kind."
This gospel provides an incredible view of the relationship between God and man.
We should be able to identify and relate to the sheer desperation of the woman. The indescribable shame of a public humiliation, being "caught in the very act of adultery". This combined with the fear of pain and death of the stoning, provides an image of absolute dread. What could you fear more than total rejection from your community, and being beaten to death with stones?
It is in this moment, that this helpless woman, encounters Christ.
We should also be able to identify and relate to the condemnation of the crowd. Seeing the scandal, and thinking it's their business to pass their personal judgement on the woman. We too do this. In gossiping about friends, in our opinions of celebrities, in the way we see those who have been found in wrong. We think it's our responsibility to judge those around us.
It is in this moment, that this condemning crowd, encounters Christ.
And oh, what a beautiful encounter. Christ has the incredible ability to speak truth in love; justice in mercy. To raise up the humble, and humble the prideful.
"Let the one among you who is guiltless be the first to throw a stone at her."
With a simple sentence, He diffuses the crowd's self-righteousness. He shows them their own need for forgiveness, for reconciliation with God. He speaks to us as well. Our condemnation of others blinds us from seeing our own broken relationship with God, as well as seeing Christ in the other person.
"'Has no one condemned you?....Neither do I condemn you' said Jesus. 'Go away and from this moment sin no more."
And in the this moment of encounter between weakness and strength, humanity and Divinity, this woman experiences true love and forgiveness, and a call to more. She finds that Jesus, regardless of her guilt, sees her with great dignity. He still sees her as valuable, precious, and worthy of love, and does not condemn her as He could. Instead, He wishes to see her flourish and sin no more. This means to be brought back into relationship with God.
This is a powerful moment. To go from absolute desperation, from the fear of death, to experiencing mercy and freedom from guilt. This is the indescribable nature of Jesus. This is encounter.
And this too is available for all of us.
This reflection was written by Brandon Kengmana, who prides himself on being a citizen of the world, with Thai, American, Chinese, Polish, Irish, and Lithuanian descent, and was born in New Zealand and now lives in Australia. What nationality he most identifies with depends on who he's with at the time.

Its a question of concern that is morality affected by society or not?? A dilemma isn't it… Then lets figure it out!!!!!
Morals are the rules that govern which actions are right and which are wrong. A morals can be for all of society or an individual's beliefs. Sometimes a moral can be gleaned from a story or experience.
Here are some examples of morals in society:
- –Do not gossip -Tell the truth -Do not vandalize property
- -Have courage -Keep your promises -Do not cheat
- -Treat others as you want to be treated
- -Be trustworthy -Do not judge -Be dependable
- -Respect others -Be forgiving -Keep your self control
- -Have integrity -Be accountable and take responsibility
- -Have patience -Be loyal -Have respect for yourself
- -Be tolerant of differences -Seek justice
- -Have humility -Serve mankind -Be generous
- -Have empathy. -Add value to the world.
- -Have fidelity. – Be open-minded. – etc. etc.
In my opinion, I think society has more of an impact on morality than much other things. I think that the way a person acts is dependent on the environment they were raised in and what is acceptable in their society. I think that there is no objective right and wrong and that it all depends on the culture and society that you were raised in.
One thing that might be considered immoral or wrong in one culture could be valued and respected in another. Because of this, I feel that there is no objective right and wrong.
You can't tell someone that their values and how they were raised is wrong. In our minds, we think that our way of life and what we think is considered the right way. It's just the way we were raised and how we thought… So morality is affected in some or the other way by our society and cultural environment…
With increasing frequency, activities in our society raise the question of what sort of morality is guiding our people. Killing without apparent remorse and a tendency to dehumanize each other are only two of the most obvious symptoms.
This is partly due to the fact that our Guyanese society is diverse, a combination of various cultures and traditions: it is heterogeneous in composition. Dynamic and changing, it is pluralistic in many ways. It has always been to some extent, morally pluralistic, and unfortunately this pluralism appears to be widening.
Socrates taught that true felicity is not to be derived from external possessions, but from wisdom, which consists in the knowledge and practice of virtue… ~ William Enfield
We can distinguish four levels of moral pluralism: radical moral pluralism, the pluralism of moral principles, the pluralism of moral practices, and the pluralism of self-realization. Radical moral pluralism describes that state of affairs in which people hold mutually irreconcilable views about morality, such as what the terms right and wrong mean, and which actions are right and wrong
Here are some examples of morals in society:
- Do not gossip.
- Tell the truth.
- Do not vandalize property.
- Have courage.
- Do not have sex before marriage.
- Keep your promises.
- Do not cheat.
- Treat others as you want to be treated..
All these morals are taught to us in our primary school education and are part of our societal values… But are these morals enough… By learning them we become an ideal person… REALLY????
By just learning what are the morals we have to follow according to our society is actually not enough… We have to be ethical and moreover be honest while obeying these morals and ethics then we will become an example of a human being even not an ideal one but a TRUE SOUL….
So its true that society do affects morality in its some or the other sense but what is necessary is to follow the moral values which are beneficial in modifying us to be a true soul not a societal puppet…
