China is quickly moving from being a pure manufacturing and export nation to having a large middle-class that crave foreign products. Along with this, the government does its utmost to make it easier for overseas companies and brands to enter the market.
The rise of cross-border eCommerce prevails and bonded warehouses have made it remarkably easier to enter the Chinese market. Previously, many small and medium-sized companies couldn't enter the Chinese market due to strict import regulations and a significantly smaller domestic market.
If you look for bonded warehouses, don't look any further. In this article, we list the top 5 bonded warehouses available in China.

What is the function of a bonded warehouse?
In China, bonded warehouses are located in Free Trade Zones (FTZ) and where you can import, store, process, and/or manufacture goods without the need of paying import duties. The goods can be imported and exported from the zone swiftly.
Worth mentioning is that the goods have to be transported from airports or ports with so-called bonded trucks.
What is the difference between FTZ and Bonded Warehouse?
Free Trade Zones (FTZ) are dedicated areas where goods can be imported, stored, processed, and/or manufactured, without intervention from the Chinese customs. Bonded warehouses are located in these FTZs.
What are the advantages of bonded warehouses?
- Pre-declared goods
- Quicker to clear customs
- Different tax structure
- Larger order values accepted
- Lower risk of orders being held
- Lower cost of pick and pack and storage
- You can use local China couriers to deliver, which is faster and cheaper

Magharebia, news organization of the Pentagon's Africa Command, reports April 14 on the siege of Misrata, where Qaddafi forces are shelling the city with Grad rockets and infiltrating snipers across rooftops. Twenty children have been killed in the last two weeks, according to UNICEF, prompting the organization to call for a ceasefire and "an immediate end to the siege of Misrata." Thousands of foreign workers are apparently desperate to flee the city. A Qatari vessel evacuated some Egyptian workers to Alexandria "where they told stories of the bombardment by pro-Kadhafi forces," Magharebia states. We have no particular reason to doubt this, but it is important to note that foreign workers in Libya have been attacked by both sides.
Meanwhile, The Guardian reports April 15 that Qatar is now arming the rebels:
President Barack Obama said the coalition acting to keep Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi from attacking his people would have been impossible without the support of the tiny Gulf Arab nation of Qatar.
"We would not have been able, I think, to shape the kind of broad-based international coalition that includes not only our Nato members but also includes Arab states, without the emir's leadership," Obama told reporters after a meeting in the Oval Office with Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani. "He is motivated by a belief that the Libyan people should have the rights and freedoms of all people."
Officials in Doha confirmed that the Gulf state is supplying anti-tank weapons to Libyan rebels in Benghazi as part of its strategy of working to overthrow the Gaddafi regime.
Nato planes bombed the capital, Tripoli, where Libyan state television showed footage of a defiant Gaddafi cruising through the streets in a green safari jacket and sunglasses, pumping his fists and waving from an open-top vehicle.
Qatar also recently signed a deal to market Libyan oil from rebel-held territory. Note that as a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Qatar signed off on last month's Saudi-led military intervention in Bahrain to suppress protests. Another one to file under "life's little ironies."

Bound galleys function as the closest thing to the authors' final draft. They are printed for review from prominent editors and proofreaders before being officially published as books. Copies of the book at this stage serve as both evaluation copies and as initial promotional copies.
As evaluation copies, all the writing requirements that make up a successful book are usually met. Before reaching this level, it is normal practice for a book project to pass through numerous checks and consultations in the form of initial drafts and manuscripts. Content at this point may be complete, but bound galleys as advance promotional copies must now emphasize appearance and digital book printing aspects.
Marketing your book involves producing quality bound galleys in Newton, MA. It is at this level where copies of book are bound and presented to simulate as finished products minus the final book cover. High-end digital book printing is the only way to achieve this. To find out more about digital book printing services, contact Country Press Printing.

Algorithm for rounding to n decimal places
From numerous threads, eg.
we know 15 decimal places is limit of precision within Geogebra.
However can anyone assist to use some algorithm using Geogebra scripts or Javascript inside Geogebra to convert a rational number p/q to say n decimal places where n can go up to 200?
Example from external site at mathisfun :
To do what you are looking for Geogebra should provide some devoted instrinsic functions, like the ones below related to the well known package MatLab, or its Octave clone (free of charge).
Normally MatLab works around 15-digit precision, which can be expanded to the desired one through the funnction vpa() of symbolic calculation.
You can use the CASView, eg Numeric(1/7,200)
Another way - drag the red point:

Next:MORALE: Russia Pays What It Takes
November 20, 2015:
Iran has been urging the UN to get peace talks going and with it a ceasefire. The UN keeps talking about getting a peace conference started this month but that does not seem to be happening because both sides are haggling over details. The UN believes 32,000 people have been hurt since the war began in March. Nearly 17 percent of those casualties were fatal. Most of the casualties have been civilians. The chaos has cut off over a third of the population from regular food supplies and even more no longer have access to healthcare.
The Arab coalition is being forced to deal with many of the problems that caused the civil war in the first place. The biggest problem is controlling the dozens of major tribes, many of them demanding more money, weapons and attention than the Arab coalition members are willing or able to provide. Then there is the corruption. The Arab coalition works through the tribal leaders, who are often corrupt, even with their own people. Giving payroll cash to tribal leaders to pay their militiamen often causes problems as the money mysteriously disappears and the tribal leaders blame the Arab coalition or anyone else. Then there are the local rivalries as well as the separatist (divide the country in two) sentiments among many southern tribes. Of course, the separatists want to have the oil, which is in the middle of the country. Meanwhile long-standing tribal feuds often cause pro-government tribes to refuse to follow orders or get distracted actually fighting with a rival tribe. Then there's the issue of unity, or lack of it. The fighting drags on because the Shia tribes are much more united than the more numerous Sunni ones. Finally there are the Islamic terrorists. This is mainly about ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) and AQAP (Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula). These two groups are spending more time attacking the government than each other or the Shia rebels. These Islamic terrorist groups are seeking power in the Sunni south, where they can recruit and have some allies among tribes seeking to create a separate Yemen state in the south. This is all widely known and accepted in the south. Then there the many widely believed myths. Iranian media pushes the idea that the Saudis are flying ISIL Islamic terrorists in from Syria to help with the fight against Shia rebels in the north. This sort of paranoia plays well throughout the Middle East and is regularly used against enemies local and foreign. For example many Moslems (Sunni and Shia) believe that ISIL is the creation of the United States and Israel. Meanwhile many southerners are fighting the Shia rebels only until the Shia are pushed out of the south. After that these southern tribesmen want to fight the government forces who oppose the partition of Yemen.
The major problem for the government forces is a shortage of trained soldiers. The pro-government militias are undisciplined and often unreliable as well. The militias rarely have people who can handle clearing landmines, which the Shia rebels are using a lot to slow down the advance. This includes anti-vehicle as well as anti-personnel mines. The Shia rebels also use roadside bombs, as do the Islamic terrorists. Yemen signed the international treaty banning landmines and destroyed its own stocks in 2002. The Shia are using black market mines from smugglers. These mines are Cold War surplus from East European stocks. Many East European nations had their many Cold War arms warehouses looted when communist rule collapsed in 1989 and most of those weapons ended up on the black market.
The Arab coalition is trying, with mixed success, to get tribesmen to join paramilitary units. This would mean better pay, wearing uniforms (as members of the security forces) and following orders. That last item discourages most potential recruits. That's mainly because tribesmen are being asked to go into battle led by some stranger. Moreover there is a shortage of qualified NCOs and officers for these new units. Nevertheless the program continues and at least trains a lot of tribesmen on how to perform more effectively in combat.
Adding to the chaos is a generally hostile attitude by everyone towards journalists, especially foreign ones. Every faction wants to drive away journalists who will not write favorable stories about them, no matter what. Also there is a generally accepted belief that most foreign journalists, in addition to writing stories that make Yemen look bad, are also collecting data for foreign intelligence agencies. As a result of this most of the news from Yemen comes via military briefings and these tend to be very biased and often inaccurate. Fortunately there is still some telephone and Internet access inside Yemen and it is possible to get some reliable witnesses to report what they have seen.
The port city of Aden has become particularly difficult to run as local militias refuse to cooperate with the national government (which is temporarily housed in Aden) and the situation is so bad the Islamic terrorist groups can freely drive around, with weapons, in many parts of the city. This reached the point where one group of Islamic terrorists drove into the campus of Aden University several times demanding that male and female students do not mingle, even in class. At one point the Islamic terrorists even took control of the main gate until driven off by troops.
Meanwhile Kuwait and other Gulf oil states are providing the cash to take care of nearly 100,000 Yemeni refugees in northern Somalia (Puntland). That's how desperate many Yemenis have become, fleeing to Somalia for sanctuary.
Pro-government forces continue to battle Shia rebels in Taez, capital of Taez province (inland, near the Red Sea coast). As part of an effort to get the rebels completely out of Taez the Arab coalition is four days into a major offensive to drive Shia rebels back to the Saana (the national capital) and then out of the capital itself. This offensive is advancing on several roads towards the capital and so far the Shia rebels have been able to slow down but not stop the advance. Northeast of Taez the rebels are also holding out in Ibb province and northeast of Ibb there is a similar situation in Marib province. Government forces have regained a lot of lost territory in nearby Baida province. The coalition wants the rebels to concentrate a large defensive or counterattack force that can then be torn apart by air attacks. So far the rebels are not cooperating. Apparently the rebels are trying to delay defeat until there are peace talks and the Shia tribes of the north can get an acceptable long-term deal. That has not been successful so far and the leader (Saudi Arabia) of the Arab coalition backing the government forces believes that the Shia rebels will break and be defeated soon, or at least eventually.
For most Gulf oil states the war in Yemen is more important than the fight against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. That's because the Arabs see Yemen as a bold Iranian attempt to seize control of the most populous, but poorest, country in the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabs were shocked at how close Iran came to succeeding, But unlike Syria the Iranian prospects in Yemen are less promising. The pro-Iran Shia rebels of Yemen are facing defeat and Iran has been unable to do much about it. The Yemen rebels have not been able to obtain much support from Iran because of the Arab air and naval blockade. The U.S. is helping with this but it is the Arab forces who are doing most of the work and these efforts have been effective. The worst aspect of all this is that the foreign intervention was all Arab (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain), using their modern Western weapons. The Arabs are succeeding, which does not bode well for Iran which has long (at least in the last few centuries) relied on its superior military capabilities to intimidate their Arab neighbors. What's going on in Yemen is diminishing that threat quite a bit. The Yemen rebels still hold the capital and areas around that city but without some military assistance from Iran the Arab coalition will eventually win, and Iran will very publicly lose.
The scope of the Arab involvement can be seen by the fact that for the first time since 1991 these Arab states have sent their regular troops (as opposed to a few commandos) into combat. Although these Arab states publicly sent their warplanes to join the American led coalition bombing ISIL in Iraq and Syria, soon after the Arab coalition aircraft began attack Shia rebels in March the Arab warplanes began disappearing from Iraq and Syria and now all are devoted to attacking targets in Yemen and keeping an eye on Iran. For the Arabs Iran is, and always has been, the most dangerous foe and defeating Iran in Yemen is a big deal.
November 18, 2015: In the capital the Shia rebels freed three Americans (two of them UN employees) they had been holding prisoner. The three left by air.
November 17, 2015: President Abdrabu Mansur Hadi returned to Aden. He left in October after Islamic terrorists bombed the hotel where he and other government ministers were working and living. But now he will live and work in a refurbished presidential compound guarded by Arab coalition troops (including some commandos). The presidential compound had been damaged during the fighting in to expel Shia rebels from the city. The rest of the government officials will soon return to Aden as well as soon as facilities to safely house them are ready.
November 16, 2015: Arab coalition and pro-government militias launched a major offensive to drive Shia rebels out of Taez city, capital of Taez province. The rebels have led the city since September 2014 and it is astride a main road to Saana, the national capital.
November 8, 2015: The Shia rebels moved reinforcements towards Damt, a town southeast of Ibb province and held by pro-government tribesmen. The tribesmen retreated and it took a while for sufficient forces to be assembled to push the rebels out of Damt. Pro-government forces had driven the rebels out of Damt in early October.
Another 400 troops from Sudan arrived in Aden. These will join the 500 who arrived on October 19th. The Arab coalition persuaded (with cash and other favors) Sudan, Senegal, Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan to send troops to join the coalition. Most of these (about 12,000) will come from Sudan. Eritrea is sending about 400 troops and Somalia is sending a token number of troops but is mainly allowing the Arab coalition to use Somali territory and air space The coalition needs more professional (and disciplined) troops to augment the often undependable and unpredictable tribal militias. Senegal has agreed to send about two thousand troops.
November 3, 2015: There was a gun battle in Aden between guards at the presidential palace and pro-government militiamen angry about not being paid on time.
November 2, 2015: The UAE sent 30 armored trucks for the pro-government fighting inside Taez city against Shia rebels. The UAE also announced that it was adopting the Western practice of rotating combat troops and replacements have been trained and were about to move to Yemen to relieve the UAE troops that have been there for seven months. Western forces have used this rotation policy, using tours of duty ranging from three to twelve months. Six months appears to have been the optimal period of combat before being relieved. The UAE rotation is expected to be completed in a week.

WASHINGTON (CNS) — For the first time since 1974, when it first began, the message of the national March for Life to participants is: Stay home.
Like the satellite events connected to the annual National Mall rally and march to the Supreme Court, including the Rose Dinner, a youth conference and the Mass for Life, the rest of it will be online only Jan. 29.
March organizers had already hired a production company to make a livestreamed event possible in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, and to enforce mask wearing and social distancing.
But the plan was still to have as large a live rally as could be arranged. Many of the bus caravans from the Midwest, long a staple of the event, were canceled last fall as a result of the pandemic, and the assault on the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6 and threats of subsequent violence by domestic terrorist groups, as reported by the FBI, made security impossible.
(Learn more at the website www.marchforlife.org.)
"The protection of all of those who participate in the annual March, as well as the many law enforcement personnel and others who work tirelessly each year to ensure a safe and peaceful event, is a top priority of the March for Life," Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life Defense and Education Fund, said in a statement issued late Jan. 15.
"In light of the fact that we are in the midst of a pandemic which may be peaking, and in view of the heightened pressures that law enforcement officers and others are currently facing in and around the Capitol … the annual rally will take place virtually and we are asking all participants to stay home and to join the march virtually."
There will still be a small in-person presence. "We will invite a small group of pro-life leaders from across the country to march this year," Mancini said.
"These leaders will represent pro-life Americans everywhere who, each in their own unique ways, work to make abortion unthinkable and build a culture where every human life is valued and protected," she added.
Marches in recent years had drawn at least 100,000 participants, and last year's event, when President Donald Trump spoke at the rally, was believed to have had the largest attendance in its history. The smallest March for Life previous to this was in 1987 during a snowstorm, and drew an estimated 5,000.
The march is held on or near the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion on demand.
The National Park Service closed "core areas" of the National Mall Jan. 15. They will remain closed at least through Jan. 21.
Most marches and prayer vigils affiliated with the March for Life at state capitols are still planned, and some have already been held. State marches have been postponed in Arkansas and Oregon, and an online alternative has been announced in Oregon.

As a resident or fellow on the job hunt, you may feel a lot of pressure. Financial pressure. Peer pressure. Perhaps above all, the pressure to impress potential employers. After all, you've been a high achiever throughout your training, and you want to succeed here, too.
The good news: Physicians who've gone before you are happy to help—whether they're a few years out of training, nearing retirement or somewhere in between. They've learned a thing or two since leaving residency, and they're glad to share what they wish they'd known in your shoes. Here's advice from physicians and seven of the lessons they learned along the way.
1. It's time to put yourself first—for the greater good
Kristin Miller, M.D., a family medicine physician with a hospital system in Oklahoma, says, "I didn't learn to advocate for myself in residency. I was always a people-pleaser. I thought that was how you win in life. But I've learned it's actually the opposite. When you advocate for yourself and know what you need and you're advocating for being the best version of yourself, that's how you win."
Now that hiring physicians is part of her job, Miller understands even more how important it is to be forthright during the interview process. "In residency, your goal is to get every single person to like you and want you. But in job hunting, you need to be choosy—and not just for yourself. It's only a win-win if you like them and they like you. This is a dynamic residents aren't used to."
Miller says residents may shy away from asking important questions during interviews because they don't want to seem impolite. But if you don't get the answers you need, you're likely to wind up in jobs that don't suit you. And when unhappy physicians leave soon after they're hired, it's not just a loss for them. It also costs their employers. Recruiting is expensive. Plus, physicians who exit within a year or two rarely reach a profitable level of productivity.
That's why savvy employers look for signs that candidates have done their homework, Miller explains. Smart, detailed candidate questions will show employers that you're interested and engaged. In fact, if you don't ask meaningful questions, you may limit your opportunities.
"We don't want to hire people who don't ask questions," she says. Her hospital looks for evidence that candidates understand the work environment and want to become part of the culture. "We want people who are all in," she adds.
2. The right job might not be advertised
Oluwatoni Aluko, M.D., MPH, a family medicine physician in Philadelphia, didn't hear much about networking during residency. Instead, she found out just how powerful networking is through direct experience. She wasn't shy about exploring her interests—and it helped boost her career.
"You will get a lot of emails from recruiters," Aluko acknowledges. But just because a job isn't posted doesn't mean it's not available. "Connecting with physicians firsthand gives you insight into what positions are available, many of which may not be advertised."
During rotations in her residency at the University of Pennsylvania, Aluko started learning about the clinical scope of student health clinicians. She found herself drawn to that field and took the initiative to find out more.
"I reached out to an adviser to see if it was possible to create an elective in student health," she says. That contact led to a personalized elective and, not long after that, a job offer at Penn. "When I was ready to work and a position became available, the medical director and my colleagues in student health remembered me. [The elective rotation] was instrumental to me being top of mind when a position came open."
Now Aluko wants residents to know that investigating out-of-the-box interests can lead to opportunities that aren't part of the annual recruiting process. These opportunities might be a much stronger match for your interests.
And even if asking questions or reaching out doesn't result in an immediate job offer, Aluko stresses that this effort isn't wasted. Making relevant connections can put you in line for job openings down the road. "The worst they can say is there's nothing open," Aluko says. "But at least you can ask. In the world of medicine, people talk. They remember you and refer you on."
Adrienne Youdim, M.D., a physician, author and entrepreneur in Beverly Hills, California, also took an atypical path early in her career. She had always been interested in the technical side of medicine and pursued a fellowship in gastroenterology. "I matched in a very competitive fellowship, [but] when I got pregnant, I decided I had to drop it," she recalls. "But then I thought: 'What can I do now?'"
Changing her plans was difficult, as was leaving behind a hard-won spot. Her way forward was unclear. But that uncertainty helped Youdim think more expansively about her options. When she learned about the surgical weight loss practice at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, she approached the center about creating a medical counterpart.
"I started up the center for medical weight loss at Cedars and ran it for 10 years. We transitioned [the program at Cedars] from surgical weight loss only to both medical and surgical. We created a comprehensive program, and I became its co-director."
The experience gave her the confidence—and the platform—to pursue other interests, such as entrepreneurship and publishing. Since her time at Cedars, she's started her own practice and launched a nutrition line. She also recently published a book: "Hungry for More."
"I learned from patients that their desire for food is really a hunger for something else, and I thought about how that [process of introspection] applies to me as well," she says. "For me, the lack of autonomy in employed practice was not conducive to my goals. I had a lot of creative pursuits I was interested in."
Given how long it takes to become a physician, contemplating a less predictable path is no small matter. But Youdim will tell you it's been more than worth it. "There's so much benefit to giving yourself permission to evolve, to go where you need to," she says. "It doesn't mean you're not working hard. I am probably working harder now [than when I was employed]. But I have autonomy. I have purpose. I have creativity."
3. Conventional wisdom isn't always so wise
Looking back, some physicians say the conventional wisdom you hear in residency can be wrong—or at least wrong for you. There's no harm in questioning if what everyone says is true. Doing so might open the door to a better fit.
"During training, you hear strong biases against certain practice types. Don't let others' views influence you. Independently evaluate each type—and each individual practice—for yourself," says Jay Wofford, M.D., a dermatologist and dermatopathologist with U.S. Dermatology Partners in Dallas, where he is also the group's North Texas regional president.
For example, many doctors have negative views about private equity financing. But the more Wofford learned about private equity-backed U.S. Dermatology Partners, the more he believed their way of doing things matched up with his goals.
He'd be able to divide his time equally between a general dermatology practice and pathology work. It helped that the group's lead marketer had invested significant time building relationships with physicians in Wofford's residency. Wofford met with her, got answers to all his questions and left with a clearer picture of what the group had to offer.
In some residency programs, there's also negative buzz about private practice. Critics point out that being employed by a larger organization lets you spend more time as a doctor without all the management details of running a practice.
But if you're curious about private practice because of the added autonomy and business benefits, you owe it to yourself to explore more. After all, many specialties are in high demand. Even if you try out a private setting and discover you don't like it, you'll likely be able to find employment in a health system or hospital easily.
If you want to understand what any type of organization or practice is really like, Wofford says there's no better resource than physicians who currently work there. He urges residents to stay in touch with colleagues. "Keep in touch with residents a year or two ahead of you who have similar interests," he suggests.
"Find out how they started their search and narrowed it and get feedback from them as they start in the jobs. You can learn from their successes and mistakes." About six months after these colleagues start work is a good time to reach out. Wofford adds, "Ask them if there's anything they wished they'd asked during interviews."
4. Learn about the business side—and understand your compensation
Elizabeth Chiang, M.D., PhD, an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic specialist in Cleveland, found herself drawn to private practice. She was excited about hiring her own staff and establishing a more flexible schedule. As she completed her training, she looked for a private group where she'd be able to join on a partnership track and found multiple opportunities to consider. To choose one, she needed to ask the right questions.
Once Chiang homed in on a practice to join, she asked the owner for financial documents. Then she enlisted her mother (a CPA) and her sister (a businesswoman) to confirm the business was financially sound. Chiang liked a lot about that first job. Eventually, however, she learned some important but frustrating lessons. "It was a good practice and well run," she says. "Support staff was great, and I had the flexibility I wanted. The problem was: I wasn't busy enough."
The practice owner had a limited marketing budget for Chiang's new practice and wasn't willing to increase it. Chiang was prepared to work hard to earn more, but without more marketing support, she couldn't grow her patient base—or her compensation—as much as she wanted to.
Now Chiang advises job-hunters to ask why the job they're applying for is open. Is a physician retiring? Or is the practice growing and adding staff? "If they say they're hiring because of growth, ask how fast the practice is growing and how they will support you with marketing," she says.
Wofford agrees. Productivity and income are influenced by many factors outside a physician's control. He urges residents to learn about these factors and ask about them in interviews. For example, he says, your productivity may hit a ceiling if you lack staff support. Candidates should ask employers what determines when physicians can add a nurse or medical assistant.
"I wish I'd paid more attention to the practice management side of medicine," he says. "In residency, it's so easy to focus only on learning your specialty. That's obviously of the utmost importance. But once you get that underway, take a look at practice management. You need to understand it to make an educated choice."
You also need to understand exactly how your compensation is calculated. When pay is based on a percentage of collections, some residents get too focused on the percentage itself. "They're hung up on 35 percent or 40 percent or 45 percent," Wofford explains. But those numbers don't mean anything by themselves.
He adds, "The same percentage may be very different dollar amounts in two practices, even if they're next door to each other." To get a truer sense of your earning potential, Wofford suggests asking potential employers about their payer contracts and reimbursements.
"I wish I'd paid attention to billing and coding as a resident," Chiang says. "I only started learning as a fellow how to code for surgery. Coding as a new attending was overwhelming. By then, it was so much to learn."
Chiang points out that residents and newly employed physicians often underestimate the importance of doing billing-related tasks accurately. She advises residents: "Talk to your attending to learn what is required to support billing at each level. This is what gets you those RVUs or collections. If [your documentation is] not right and you're audited, you might even have to pay back money."
5. Know your worth—and protect it
Knowing how much you can—and should—expect to be paid is one of the most difficult and mysterious parts of the job search. This information often isn't readily available, and it can feel awkward to ask about.
Aluko suggests researching compensation data for related jobs online to see if an offer is in the right ballpark. But she's quick to add that it's OK to reach out and ask for help. If she's interested in a particular organization, she's not shy about contacting people she knows who work there.
"I called someone once and just asked straight up, 'What's the pay?' People aren't always willing or allowed to disclose. But I try to ask as much as possible," says Aluko.
"For many [physician] jobs, people can have a lot of negotiating power, especially in a field like family medicine. I've learned anecdotally from talking to [other] female providers, we don't always negotiate for ourselves. But you definitely have to know your worth. Each job makes a big difference in your trajectory and your salary later on down the line."
Miller agrees. "Especially when it comes to money, we get uncomfortable about advocating for ourselves," she says. "We've learned that religion, politics and money are impolite to talk about. So maybe you don't want to lead out with it. But as interviews progress, you will get comfortable, and then you'll have an opportunity to ask."
She caveats that if you're in a group interview, you may not want to discuss these specifics in front of everyone. "You can wait until you're one-on-one with the recruiter, then you can be frank," she explains.
6. Nurture your financial freedom
After years and years of hard work with little income—and usually mountains of debt—physicians often want to upgrade their lifestyles when they finish residency. For many, that means buying a nice house soon after they land their first job. The problem? This adds another big responsibility to your list, and if you don't end up loving that first job, a mortgage can make you feel trapped.
"Chances are your first job is not going to be where you'll stay long-term. Don't buy your dream house right away," Chiang says. "…Make sure you are really at the point you can be certain before buying."
If you can avoid financial traps like paying down debt too slowly or living beyond your means, you'll have more flexibility to modify your career in the future. Reducing lifestyle inflation will give you the freedom to work less—and earn less—if you choose to.
When she started her career, Miller was able to earn a lot of money right away, but it wasn't as satisfying as she'd hoped. She explains, "Four years ago, I was super successful. I was in the top 1% of female earners. It all looked great from outside, but I wasn't happy. I thought, is this it? What is wrong with me?" A life coach helped her gain clarity about what she really wanted. She then reset her priorities and made positive changes to her work life.
7. Don't postpone happiness
Miller's experience may reflect a promising new trend among physicians. When she told colleagues about her experience with life coaching, so many asked her to coach them that she trained to become a coach for physicians herself. Chiang did the same. "I want to focus on helping doctors not feel like they're on the hamster wheel," she says.
In residency, Chiang began observing a self-defeating phenomenon: physicians putting off career and life satisfaction. "You go through residency thinking, 'It'll be better when I'm a fellow.' Then in fellowship, you think, 'It'll be better when I graduate,'" she explains. "What I've learned is that it doesn't have to be about waiting until the next stage. It's about what you create. The mindset piece I learned in coaching taught me it's not just about getting things done. It's about how you feel in the process."
Ironically, the COVID-19 pandemic opened the door to Chiang's new outlook by forcing her to take time off.
"Because we shut down for a while, I only worked one to two days per week," she says. "Things were happening online that hadn't been online before. I went to a free conference about physicians leveraging their experience and doing more than just being a physician. I heard about physicians doing real estate and venture capital, being expert witnesses, physicians who are life coaches. It was eye-opening. I was in a place where I could interact with doctors doing all these amazing things besides just being a doctor."
In one course, Chiang explored real estate investing as a path to financial independence and early retirement. She now owns two investment properties and divides her time between medicine and business pursuits. This change has helped her continue enjoying her medical career while avoiding burnout.
Establishing boundaries and finding balance are key to a satisfying, sustainable career, according to Aluko. "In a field like family medicine, patients are constantly in contact," she says. "Sometimes we get calls from patients we haven't even seen before." And it's not just that patients are just calling. They're also messaging physicians via patient portals and expecting quick responses.
To manage the load, many physicians wind up putting off important tasks like charting. Often, they take work home with them, risking overwork and burnout. "Do today's work today. Rather than letting things pile up, be strategic about getting things done," Aluko advises. "I ask myself, 'What can I delegate?'"
Aluko wants younger physicians to know that the long journey to a physician career is worth it. She encourages them to take advantage of all it has to offer.
"Residency can be really tough," she says. "It can feel like it will ever end, but it will. And after it does, you get the flexibility to think about what you really want to do. Your first job doesn't have to be your forever job. Your first couple of years post-residency are a time to get to know yourself and your interests—and to really hone your skills as a physician."
Above all, your physician training is an asset no one can ever take away from you. As Aluko says, "You'll always have the opportunity to pivot into new roles. If you decide you want to do medicine one day a week and also write a travel blog, that's a choice you're free to make. Life is too short to be miserable. You only have one life. Do what you love."

Rotations: PGY1
The PGYI program is designed to provide residents with the medical experiences and skills that are most relevant to psychiatric practice. Residents will spend four months on the medical services at Mount Auburn Hospital. a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital in Cambridge, MA. PGY1 residents also rotate for one month on the Neurology Consultation Service at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Residents spend one month on a rotation in Addictions Psychiatry, with experiences at the Veterans Administration (VA) Hospitals and on the Addictions Psychiatry service at BIDMC, providing individual and group treatments for patients with substance use disorder in the inpatient and residential settings.
Residents spend three months rotating at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center where they learn about the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of acutely ill psychiatric patients. One-and-a-half months are spent alternating between the Emergency Psychiatric Service and Night Float call on the Deaconess 4 Inpatient Psychiatry Service.

Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder Substitute
This post may contain affiliate links. View our disclosure.
Need Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a recipe? If you don't have any in your pantry, have never had any in your pantry or can't eat chocolate, check out these substitutes.
Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder Substitutes
Dutch-processed cocoa, also referred to as dutch-process cocoa, dutched cocoa, alkalized cocoa or European-style cocoa, is simply unsweetened cocoa that's been washed in an alkaline solution of potassium carbonate to counteract the acidity of the cocoa. This results in a pH neutral product, that is milder and less bitter than natural cocoa powder. Dutch-process cocoa is darker in color than natural cocoa, and has a more intense chocolate flavor.
It dissolves in liquids easily, so it's the preferred cocoa for hot cocoa. It's also the preferred cocoa for dusting the tops of cakes, since it isn't bitter.
Dutch-processed cocoa is the star in many pudding, ice cream and chocolate sauce recipes. It's also used in baked goods, when an acidic cocoa isn't required for leavening.
How to Substitute Dutch-Processed Cocoa in No-Bake Recipes
If you want to make pudding, ice cream, chocolate sauce or no-bake cookies, and your recipe calls for Dutch-process cocoa, just swap in an equal amount of natural unsweetened cocoa or carob powder (if you're avoiding chocolate). The finished product won't be as darkly-colored or richly-flavored as intended, but it'll still taste great.
This one-to-one substitution also works, if you just need cocoa to dust the top of a cake.
How to Substitute Dutch-Processed Cocoa in Baked Recipes
When replacing Dutch-process cocoa in a baked good, it's important to use a substitution that isn't going to alter the pH or overall chemistry of the recipe. Here are three ways to do that successfully:
Natural Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
To replace the Dutch-process cocoa powder called for in your recipe, use the same amount of natural unsweetened cocoa. Then, neutralize the acidity of the natural cocoa by adding 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda (a base) for every three Tablespoons of cocoa used.
If it makes the math easier, you can accomplish the same thing by replacing the baking powder called for with half as much baking soda.
Unsweetened Baking Chocolate
Swap in one ounce of melted unsweetened baking chocolate for every three Tablespoons of Dutch-process cocoa that's called for. Then, add 1/8 tsp baking soda to neutralize the pH. This will add extra fat, so consider omitting a Tablespoon of fat from the recipe to compensate.
Carob Powder
Looking for a chocolate-free alternative to Dutch-process cocoa? Just swap in an equal amount of carob powder. This will give your recipe the intended chocolate taste, without using any chocolate.Print
Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder Substitute
Here's how to successfully substitute the Dutch-processed cocoa powder in baked and no-bake recipes.
- Total Time: 2 minutes
- Yield: Varies
- Natural unsweetened cocoa powder, unsweetened baking chocolate or carob powder
- Baking soda
To replace Dutch-processed cocoa powder in no-bake recipes, use:
-An equal amount of natural unsweetened cocoa powder
-An equal amount of carob powder
To replace Dutch-processed cocoa powder in baked recipes, use:
-An equal amount of natural cocoa powder + 1/8 tsp baking soda for every 3 Tbsp cocoa (to neutralize acidity)
-1 ounce of melted unsweetened baking chocolate for every 3 Tbsp cocoa called for + 1/8 tsp baking soda for every 3 Tbsp cocoa (to neutralize acidity). Consider omitting 1 Tbsp fat from the recipe to make up for extra fat that the chocolate adds

Problem Link: https://codeforces.com/contest/1133/problem/F2 My solution link: https://codeforces.com/contest/1133/submission/86270566
I dont understand why this solution is exceeding memory limit on testcase 10. Logic: A few neighbours of node 1 may be connected. Lets say 2,3,4 are connected either directly or indirectly(I want to know if they are connected through some other vertices other than 1). So I assign one of these vertices value 2 and the rest of the vertices(3,4) value 1 and mark them visited. I now go to the next unvisited neighbour of 1 and do the same process. This way i get the minimum number of vertices 1 needs to be connected to, so that a connected tree can be formed(these vertices are those whose value is 2). New degree of 1 d= D-(no. of neighbours of 1 whose value is 2). Now i choose d random neighbours whose value is 1 and add them to my tree. Then i just create a bfs tree from each of the neighbours of 1.
Is there a mistake in the implementation ?

A couple who had been together for eight years and married for five were blessed with the news they were pregnant.
As soon as the wife—Redditor "wtfhjs"—and her husband discovered they were having a boy, the name hunt was quickly underway.
In her heart of hearts, however, she had decided on a name after being enamored with a TV character. Once the father-to-be found out where she got inspiration for the name, he was not happy.
To provide context—she is 32 and he is 35—the ages which they would be familiar with a certain sci-fi drama series that was a huge phenomenon.
The Original Poster (OP) asked AITA (Am I the A**hole) for naming her kid after someone she used to think was hot and keeping it from her husband.
"Now, in the early 2000s I watched a show (idk how specific I'm allowed to be) and one of the characters was named Sawyer."
If it's who we're thinking of, then yeah, we were definitely lost in his eyes too.
sawyer dimples GIFGiphy
"Yes, I thought the character was hot. After that I started to fall in love with the name independently of anything. I just thinks it's a really beautiful name."
When she sawyer face, she became a believer.
However, she maintained they were going to "seriously" find a name for their boy.
"After we found out it was a boy, we started to seriously discuss baby names."
no she didnt love and hip hop hollywood GIF by VH1Giphy
"My husband proposed a bunch that I didn't really like, and I also put out several names that he didn't want. Eventually I put 'Sawyer' out there as a name."
"To my surprise, my husband said that he actually really liked that name and we ended up choosing it."
Yesssss Yes GIFGiphy
"Recently my husband and I have had a lot more time to spend together. Yesterday we were cuddling and talking about the baby. It was a normal conversation."
"He said that he was really glad we chose Sawyer, and asked me why I suggested it and what the inspiration was for the name I guess."
"At first I said that I just thought it was a beautiful name, but he wanted to know more, like when I first heard it. So I told him not thinking that it would be a problem."
The OP did not expect this reaction.
"But my husband got pretty mad. He said he was angry that I would name an actual human over a TV show character."
"He was also pretty mad that the only reason I liked that name is because someone hot had it. He also said that he feels like I'm kind of obsessed to be naming my baby after him. Mostly he was mad that I hadn't told him when I offered the name."
jealous natalie tran GIFGiphy
"But I really don't agree. I wouldn't say the baby is named after a TV character, and it's not like he's named Naruto or something."
What's in a name?
This guy right here.
evangeline lilly GIFGiphy
"Sawyer is a normal name and it's not like he'll be bullied for it. I also said that I'm clearly not obsessed with the show or the character. I've watched the show a total of twice in my life and that's it."
"I also said that I didn't lie at all. When he asked me, I told him."
"We've come to an impasse over this. I think he's being ridiculous and jealous of a fictional character, and he thinks he's going to have to reconsider the name. AITA?"
Redditors didn't see the big deal to warrant the husband's anger.
"Your husband has Lost the plot. It's a name. You both like it. You're fine. NTA" – Dszquphsbnt
"My mom named me after an evil soap opera character. It's a pretty cool story to tell. My sister is name after a very cute Australian news reporter. All names come from somewhere. I agree, NTA." – KristenDoesntKnow
"I came across my daughter's name in an Anne Rice book years ago. I had to 19 or 20. Found out its a much more common name across the pond, but in the U.S. you don't hear it very often."
"It suits her so well and it goes fluidly with her last name. She loves it too. So a win all around."
"Hubby is really overreacting. NTA" – DarJinZen7
They shared the origin of their names.
"I'm named after a Gone With the Wind character. People do it and it's completely normal." – concaveUsurper
clark gable GIFGiphy
"I named my kid after a Twin Peaks character. You just don't meet many kids named Bob anymore." – jpcomicsny
"My middle name is from a Leonardo DiCaprio movie. My mother wanted to name me Guinevere after King Arthur's wife. I named a cat after a book character. People name things after what they know." – NiktoriaNo
"My second is named after a character in Black Panther because that's where I first heard the name, looked it up and liked the meaning." – doryfishie
"my mom named me after rose from titanic so at least I have that going for me." – roseposy
titanic kate winslet GIFGiphy
A plan to give a daughter a unique moniker backfired.
"My co-worker's daughter was born in 1989 and is named Ariel. No, she wasn't named after the Disney character - she was born a few weeks before the movie came out."
"Her parents both had common names and wanted her to have something that would be rare but not too unusual. Oops!" – jamoche_2
the little mermaid disney GIFGiphy
TV shows and movies aren't the only things to inspire names.
"I was named after a playboy model. A character on a TV show is nothing compared to that!" – canadian_maplesyrup
You can't escape the fact that people will automatically associate names with a popular character, like this stud from Supernatural.
"NTA All names originate somewhere. You could name it Sam and someone would blame you of being obsessed with supernatural."
"If he liked the name and it's a name that won't get the kid bullied, who cares? Better Sawyer than 'Suhyer' to be original." – QueenThirrin
"My oldest sons name is Dean. It may or may not partially be from supernatural... lol" – MrsJackson91
dean winchester spn GIFGiphy
Getting back to Sawyer.
"So would you say your husband kind of LOST it after he found out about the origin of the name?:P NTA. And Sawyer was really hot." – dbf06
"Lost didn't 'invent' the name Sawyer. Sure, it may not be the most common name in the world, but your husband didn't make the connection, and he was more likely to do so than any kids your child knows growing up."
"That being said, I agree with the thought that either parent can veto a name for any reason, so while I am saying you're not TA for the argument, and I do agree with him that he can reconsider." – teke367
"NTA. You got the idea from a TV show, you didn't name him after the character! And if your husband is mad due to being jealous of a fictional man neither of you will ever meet, then he's TA." – mattjaneski
If the couple remains deadlocked, this could very well be a lost cause.
Unless they agree on, say, "Kate," "Jack" or even "Hugo."
See? Enough Sayid.

text: In the ongoing debate over the disparity in the salaries earned by men and women, Camille Kelly has discovered a new twist. Kelly is a vice president with Universum, a global employer branding firm that conducts market research in order to understand the value propositions that corporations offer to their employees. A recent Universum study found that female MBA students' expectations for their first-year salaries fall more than $7,000 short of their male counterparts' expectations. And five years out, females' expectations are more than $25,000 short. "We already knew that women are getting paid less than men," says Kelly, "But the fact that they are actually expecting less is revealing." Kelly points out that employers don't go into negotiations with different expectations for men and women. "There aren't different bars," she assures. "What happens is that men tend to be more comfortable with their ability to negotiate an offer, while women tend to accept the first offer as is." And once the interviewee accepts, employers are not going to feel like they need to level the playing field—it's not in their best interest to go back and offer women more than what they've already accepted. "If a woman says 'yes' to the first offer, then that's it," Kelly says. Even with business schools providing negotiations courses and career seminars, Kelly believes it's going to take more time and more education for women to become comfortable in the role of negotiating for themselves. "Women really need to be reprogrammed, and that takes a long time. They need to reach the same comfort level in the negotiations setting as men." Kelly says Universum sees the disparity globally, regardless of culture. And even in those cultures where bartering and negotiating is the way business is conducted, whether in a street stall or a boardroom, women still feel uncomfortable when negotiating for themselves as opposed to wares. "The one affinity group that we see in companies across the globe is for women—women face issues in the workplace that just transcend culture," she says. With the downturn in the economy making people feel grateful to even have a job, Kelly fears that women may shy away from negotiating even more. But she says now is the time for women to practice negotiating for other things. "It's up to women to know that there are other things you can ask for besides a larger salary." She mentions vacation days, schedule flexibility, commuter benefits, accelerated entrance into training programs or vesting opportunities, and health-related benefits like gym memberships as potential bargaining chips. "Women need to know what their costs are, and if they can negotiate items like these, they can gain a lot." Kelly says now is also the time for MBA students to look carefully at their true skill sets, really think about their career goals—and if they can't get a job immediately in the company or field they want to be in, they need to do a more profound assessment of the areas that might be a little bit more accessible and are still able to provide skill-enhancing experience. "Maybe it's a smaller firm, maybe it's a related industry, or maybe it's a functional skill set that needs to be acquired," Kelly says. "Now is the time to be very deliberate in choosing your next stepping stone, because opportunities for skill development will be more prevalent than well-paying jobs." And when the economy picks up and women start asking for more money, Kelly believes it's not going to be a problem on the recruiting end. "It's not going to be unwelcome when women start asking for what they want," she says. "There are some who will cheer when it happens."

What two body systems control the reflex action?
1 Answer
Feb 17, 2018
Endocrine, and nervous.
The endocrine and nervous systems are a lot a like. They both control the rest of the body. The nervous system is the brain, and the spinal cord. That system thinks about things. Now, on the other hand, the endocrine system controls reflexes, and fast actions. This system also controls the hormones. It would mostly be the endocrine system.

Little did we know when we started our LoveFeast Shop venture that we would be so caught up in jewelry! But, who we happened to meet along our journey (we first met artist Liz Oie at our Spark & Style blogger event) and their passion for their work (see our visit to Liz's studio) got us caught up in the moment. This fall we asked Liz to interpret our brand LoveFeast Table in a special collection made exclusively for LoveFeast Shop. We are happy when we can share something beautiful with you!
These pearls are from our new collection aren't your mother's pearls! Or Barbara Bush's either! They are a modern take on a classic ~ freshwater pearls strung on black, chocolate brown, gray or distressed saddle leather. This is the most versatile of pieces! Gather a few long stands around your neck for a boho chic look.
Or, double a single strand for a classic and hip choker style look. The pearl button clasp is incorporated into the design.
Wrap approximately 5 times around your wrist for a chunky beautiful pearl wrapped cuff.
This collection was designed with mix and matching in mind! Earrings feature oxidize sterling silver, 24k vermeil gold, fresh water pearls, vintage links and turquoise.
The bracelets feature recycled Roman glass, 24k gold vermeil discs, fresh water pearls, pyrite, sterling silver and charms.
This is a very special piece. This Roman glass beaded necklace has a one of a kind antique Byzantine coin. The Byzantine Empire coin dates between 600 – 900 AD that varies with each necklace. The 24 k gold vermeil discs are just the right touch to play against the antique coin.
Also by Liz Oie and a LoveFeast Shop classic, is the Mother's Tree Of Life necklace as seen on The Pioneer Woman's and the Hollywood Houswife's blogs. It is a special and unique gift idea. The Mother's Tree Of Life necklace is made of the highest quality sterling silver or gold available, with real gems included to signify the birth stones of children or grandchildren. This would be a perfect gift and treasured keepsake for your mother, wife, grandmother, sister or friend.
There's more gift ideas in our LoveFeast Shop ~ We hope you find something beautiful and inspiring!

Geometry is an interesting branch of math that deals with shape, size, the relative position of shapes and properties associated with them. Some common examples of shapes are:
· Circle
· Triangle
· Rectangle
· Square, and more.
We study geometry to practically deal with lengths, areas, and volumes. It becomes very easy to find the area, perimeter, or volume of any definite space using the geometrical formulas.
Terminologies for Geometry
What is Area?
Ans: Area is the amount of space inside the boundary.
What is Perimeter?
Ans: Perimeter is the definite path or boundary that surrounds the shape.
What is Volume?
Ans: Volume quantifies three-dimensional space enclosed in a closed surface like Cylinder, Cube, Sphere etc.
Difference between Area and Perimeter
All the blue part is the "Area of the Star" and the total red part is the "Perimeter of the Star".
Basic Geometry Formulas for Kids
Using these formulas one can calculate the area, perimeter, and volume of different shapes. Let's learn some important formulas for basic shapes.
Perimeter of a square: 4 x a
Area of a square: a2
Where, a is the length of the side of the square.
Perimeter of a rectangle: 2(l + b)
Area of a rectangle: l x b
Where, l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle.
Circumference of a circle: 2πr
Area of a circle: π x r2
Where, r is the radius of the circle.
Area of a triangle: ½ x b x h
Where, b is the length of the base and h is the length of the height of the triangle.
Surface area of a cube: 6 x a2
Volume of a cube: a3
Where, a is the length of the edge.
Curved surface area of a cylinder: 2πrh
Total surface area of a cylinder: 2πr (r + h)
Volume of a cylinder: πr2h
Where, r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.
Curved surface area of a cone: πrl
Total surface area of a cone: πr (r + l)
Volume of a cone: ⅓ x πr2h
Where, r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height of the cone.
Surface Area of a sphere: 4πr2
Volume of a sphere: 4/3 x πr3
Where, r is the radius of the sphere.

A shot list is a strategic document that lists all of the shots to be captured in a project. Shot lists can be further broken down by location, production day, or camera operator.
Shot lists are, as the name suggests, a list!
At Story Ninety-Four we work with our clients to create shots lists to highlight shots that are important to them.
Shot lists allow for flexibility as they can be both vague or very detailed.
For example, one shot list could be:
- Interview with CEO
- Wide office shot
- Business logo
- External shot of the building
Or the shot list could be:
- Two camera interview with CEO in their office on a 50mm and 70mm
- Wide shot of staff working in the office with people walking across frame
- Slider shot of the logo in the foyer as people enter the building
- External timelapse shot of the building from across the street
Both shot lists provide guidance on the day of production, ensuring all shots are captured. The first allows for more flexibility and inspiration on the day, the other is more specific which may reduce the time on set developing the shots.
The shot list is usually a blend of the two, specific for certain shots, and open to allow for inspiration on the day for others.
To create a shot list, list every detail you want to include in your video and then place them into groups based on location, subject or time restriction. Then place them in order of when you'll film those shots.

If the abuser's gun is taken away, what will happen to it?
In Michigan, any gun that is possessed illegally or used to commit a crime can be taken away (seized) by the police. The police agency that seized the gun can keep the gun for their own use, transfer it to a federally licensed firearms dealer, or transfer it to the Michigan State Police.1 If the gun is transferred to the Michigan State Police, they can auction off the gun, destroy it, or otherwise get rid of it. Before doing any of these, the Michigan State Police will issue a notice on their website for 30 days. Also, if the gun was stolen, the State Police will send a notice to the owner, if they know who the owner is. If the gun is not claimed during those 30 days, then it will be destroyed or disposed of.2
If the abuser is ordered to not possess firearms as part of your personal protection order, the clerk of the court is supposed to immediately notify the concealed weapon licensing board in the county where the abuser lives.3 However, it is not clear whether the abuser must give his/her firearms to law enforcement or if s/he can get rid of them in another way. You may want to ask the judge in your PPO case to clarify.

Preserved flowers(永生花):
For Lover – Love that never fades
For Family / Friends – Guardian of family / friendship
What is Preserved Flowers?
Preserved flowers are 100% natural flowers which undergo a unique preservation method to maintain the appearance and prolong the retention time of the flowers. This technology allows the flowers to retain its original colour, soft natural touch and refrain it from wilting.
How is it done?
Despite of using drying and waxing to preserve the flowers, glycerine, a non-toxic and cosmetic-grade chemical is used. This chemical is able to replace the water of the plant, resulting in a supple and long-lasting plant
How long does it last?
A preserved flower can last for months or even years with the right care. However, long duration of direct exposure to sunlight and high humidity of the environment may shorten its lifespan.
Care Tips on Preserved Flowers
Basically, preserved flowers are long-lasting and maintenance-free as it does not require pruning, watering and sunlight. It should be kept away from direct sunlight and humid environment. The only care it requires is occasional removal of dust with dry cloth.
Preserved flowers are natural flowers that are hand-picked and cut at the peak of blooming beauty, then delivered to the factory for further sorting, grading and finally processing. This secret patented preservation process allows the flowers to maintain their beauty, soft and delicate appearance for a long time.
