This document provides 10 key recommendations for G20 governments to support youth entrepreneurship based on a diagnostic framework for assessing youth unemployment challenges. The framework segments G20 countries into four quadrants based on their "speed of economic growth" and "quality of jobs for youth". Case studies of best practices from different countries are presented corresponding to the four quadrants. The 10 recommendations aim to address youth unemployment by nurturing young entrepreneurs and include improving access to funding, reducing taxes and regulations, developing entrepreneurship culture, and more.

PR Week ha publicado el Global Agency Business Report 2016, un informe de inteligencia sobre el sector de la comunicación en el que analiza la información facilitada por más de 300 firmas de PR líderes a nivel mundial, procedentes de siete regiones (EE. UU., Reino Unido, Asia-Pacífico, las Américas, Oriente Medio y Europa Continental).
El desarrollo internacional de LLORENTE & CUENCA, con oficinas en Estados Unidos, América Latina y España, ha llevado la Firma a ocupar el puesto 53 del ranking global por ingresos. Por número de empleados, ocupa el puesto 27, a nivel global, con un total de 482 empleados en el momento de elaboración del ranking. Además, ocupa el puesto 19 en Europa y la posición 7 en América.
The document discusses priorities for the G20 Turkey 2015 summit. It focuses on three key areas: infrastructure investment, international tax reform, and encouraging entrepreneurship. For each area, it provides 3-4 concrete actions that the G20 could take such as strengthening public-private partnerships for infrastructure projects, implementing a dispute resolution mechanism for international tax issues, and promoting financial inclusion to support business growth. The document emphasizes the importance of global cooperation to address major economic challenges.
The outlook for the Chinese tech sector is strong, with a large number of startups saying they expect more M&A opportunities. Access to talent and raising capital remain challenging. Compared to the US and UK, a higher percentage of Chinese startups have women in senior company roles and at least one woman on
the founding team.
Millions of people being relocated from cities, fewer jobs, greater centralization, and more movie blockbusters are just some of the author’s predictions for the year.
The document discusses the changing global economic landscape and the rise of companies from rapidly developing economies (RDEs). It introduces the 2013 list of 100 global challengers - fast-growing companies from RDEs that are driving global growth and transforming industries. Some key points:
- Revenues and employment of the global challengers have grown significantly faster than S&P 500 companies in recent years.
- They represent 17 countries, up from 10 in the original 2006 list, reflecting their increasing global expansion.
- Over 30 are consumer-focused, showing the growth of consumer markets and spending in RDEs and abroad.
- Twenty-six companies are new to the list, replacing those that have fallen
The best corporate legacies do not simply occur by chance. They are created by the bold and driven by the visionary. Corporate legacies shine the brightest when they transcend a single product, service or industry.
Take Apple. When the corporate giant combined a phone, a music player and the internet to make the iPhone, Steve Jobs and co. not only created a new future for themselves; they also expanded the idea of what a tech company could be and in what industries it could play. They rewrote the boundaries of what is possible. That is a true legacy.
“Without the iPhone revolution, it is hard to imagine a technology company entering the transport industry or designing a device that can steer cars around while receiving and transmitting streams of data,” John Gapper at The Financial Times wrote earlier this year.
But the sheen of a great legacy can disappear quickly if major missteps are made, drama drives headlines or executive competency is questioned. We have seen several recent examples of this, including HSBC, Wells Fargo and United Airlines. And the risk
of a legacy being tarnished is higher in today’s world of constant connection, where good news travels fast but bad news travels faster.
Samsung is another prime example. For years, the company’s legacy has been built on quality and innovation, but that legacy is in jeopardy following last year’s debacle with the Galaxy Note 7. According to the Reputation Quotient Ratings report by The Harris Poll, in 2015 Samsung was the third most-respected company among U.S. consumers. In the 2017 poll, its ranking fell more than 40 points. For better or worse, corporate legacies are not stagnant—they shift over time with every move leaders make. You will always have an impact.
This issue is full of stories from executives about how they plan to build legacies at their companies. I hope they inspire you to create your own.

After years of economic hardship, CEOs are more optimistic about the global economy but less confident about their own company's growth prospects. While some developed markets are recovering, growth has slowed in some emerging markets like Brazil and India. CEOs are reviewing their international strategies and looking for new growth opportunities through innovation, existing markets, and countries like the US, Germany and Indonesia. However, barriers to growth remain, with the increasing tax burden emerging as a top concern - 70% of CEOs named it as such. Views on tax issues vary between regions and sectors.

As growth rates came to a standstill in 2015, we took stock of expectations for the future. Surveying firms worldwide, we discovered them to be optimistic about long-term prospects, and found the pursuit of future profits gathering pace.
For the 10th year, Silicon Valley Bank is proud to present
our Startup Outlook Report. The innovation economy has
expanded greatly in the US and abroad in the past decade,
and so has Startup Outlook. In our first report, we surveyed
300 people, most of them in California. The 2019 report
includes the perspectives of nearly 1,400 technology and
healthcare founders and executives primarily in major
innovation hubs across the US, the UK, China and, for the
first time, Canada.
- Paul Young is a CPA and CGA who provides expertise in areas related to business, finance, and policy.
- The document discusses key topics related to China's future economic growth such as slowing GDP growth, rising debt levels, increasing consumption, climate change policies, and China's relationships with other countries and trade blocs.
- Key points examined include China's shifting focus to investing overseas, pushing forward with its One Belt One Road initiative, and transitioning its vehicle market toward electric vehicles.
Urban world.- shifting of global business -mc kinsey & co- unus mollaProf Unus Molla
The document analyzes the current and future global distribution of large companies with over $1 billion in annual revenue. It finds that currently, three-quarters of large companies are headquartered in developed regions, accounting for 76% of their combined revenue. However, by 2025, seven out of ten new large companies expected to emerge will likely be headquartered in emerging regions, reflecting a profound shift in the global business landscape as these regions give rise to thousands of new corporate giants. This proliferation of companies from emerging markets will intensify global competition and change competitive dynamics across many industries.
China is very important economy due the size of its population along with trade with the world. China needs to be push to make changes in terms of environment, land management, urban planning, health and safety, food inspection, forestry management and water management. Key organizations like WHO, UN, WTO, etc need to do more audits to ensure China is following the rules.
This edition of the Multilateral Newsletter summarizes the key highlights of the OECD Week 2016. In addition, it also provides brief information on happenings at the B20 Coalition, International Trade Centre, World Bank and Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The document provides an overview and analysis of global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity in 2016 and 2017 predictions. While overall M&A deal value and volume declined from record highs in 2015, cross-border deal value remained robust. Predicted global M&A appetite is projected to increase marginally in 2017 driven by market capitalizations and profit growth, while predicted capacity is projected to increase 17% due to declining debt and growing earnings. Uncertainty from geopolitical events may impact cross-border M&A in the short-term but outlook remains positive long-term.
The world of venture capital has seen huge changes over the past decade. Ten years ago there were fewer than
20 known unicorns in the US5
; there are now over 2006
. Annual investment of global venture capital has increased
more than fivefold over the same period, rising to $264 billion by 2019. This investment has been dominated by the
tech sector harnessing digital frontiers to disrupt traditional industries – including cloud computing, mobile apps,
marketplaces, data platforms, machine learning and deep tech.7
It is an ecosystem that acts as the birthplace for
innovation and brands that can shape the future of consumerism, sectors and markets.
As COVID-19 has taken hold of the
world, the question of whether venture
capital, and early stage investing more
broadly, is backing and scaling the
innovations our world really needs has
never been more pertinent. Life science
and biotech investing is an asset class
perhaps most resilient and relevant to
the short-term impact of COVID-19,
but there is another impact-critical
investment area that is emerging as
an increasingly important investment
frontier: climate tech.
This research represents a first-ofits-kind analysis of the state of global
climate tech investing. We define what
it is and show how this new frontier
of venture investing is becoming a
standout investing opportunity for the
2020s. Representing 6% of global
annual venture capital funding in 2019,
our analysis finds this segment has
grown over 3750% in absolute terms
since 2013. This is on the order of 3
times the growth rate of VC investment
into AI, during a time period renowned
for its uptick in AI investment.8
Looking forward can climate tech in the
2020s follow a similar journey to the
artificial intelligence (AI) investing boom
in the 2010s? The substantial rates of
growth seen in climate tech in the late
2010s, and the overarching need for
new transformational solutions across
multiple sectors of the economy,
suggests yes. The stage appears set
for an explosion of climate tech into the
mainstream investment and corporate
landscape in the decade ahead.

By 2020, global talent mobility will significantly increase due to growing emerging markets and global connectivity. Demand for international assignments will rise 50% by 2020 as companies seek to deploy talent worldwide. Mobility patterns will shift as emerging markets become talent sources and destinations within their own regions. Changing demographics like retiring baby boomers and rising millennials will require new global talent strategies that make greater use of short-term assignments, virtual tools, and accommodate different generations' needs. Regulations and technologies will also need to evolve to support increased cross-border movement of people for business.
The document provides four scenarios for how the business world may evolve by 2025. It identifies three main drivers of change: shifting geographies, blurring industry boundaries, and evolving digital behavior. Each scenario explores a different combination of how these drivers could play out, including "Global Bazaar," "Cautious Capitalism," "Territorial Dominance," and "Regional Marketplace." The scenarios are intended to help business leaders strategize and prepare for various plausible futures.
This document provides an economic development strategic action plan for Granite City, Illinois. It outlines the challenges Granite City faces in transitioning from a traditional manufacturing economy to a knowledge-based economy. Specifically, Granite City is struggling to attract and retain talented residents and workers due to factors like declining population, lower educational attainment rates, and weak housing demand. The plan establishes a vision for Granite City to become a prosperous, innovative city that improves quality of life and access to economic opportunities. It identifies five focus areas and specific strategies and projects to realize this vision, with an emphasis on business and talent development, improving neighborhoods and community pride, and enhancing Granite City's appeal as a place to live and work.

The document summarizes key findings from a survey of CEOs and C-Suite executives on how their organizations are responding to challenges in the digital age. Some of the main points include:
- Organizations are acknowledging the need for radical change and reinvention to adapt to new technologies and business models.
- Tight labor markets are intensifying concerns about attracting and retaining top talent.
- CEOs see a need for cultures that are innovative, inclusive, and empower employees at all levels through development opportunities.
- The future workforce is expected to rely more on contingent and non-traditional arrangements like freelancers, as well as automation, to remain agile in changing conditions.
Impact investing is a growing segment of the financial landscape where investors seek opportunities to deploy capital that generates above-market returns while also creating positive social or environmental impacts. Google recently restructured under a new holding company, Alphabet, to more easily fund high-risk, high-impact "moonshot" ventures through subsidiaries. While impact investing remains a small portion of total investable assets, interest is growing as individuals seek ways to make a difference through their investments. Impact funds allow individual investors to pool resources and invest in businesses aiming to improve issues like education, healthcare, and poverty. Several organizations are now working to develop benchmarks and increase transparency around impact investing performance to further legitimize and grow the field.
The document discusses the changing demographics and economic drivers in mainland China and the implications for businesses and their talent strategies. Specifically:
- Mainland China is witnessing shifts including an aging workforce, slowing economic growth rates, and a diminishing workforce due to the one-child policy. This will impact the available talent pool for companies.
- Rapid urbanization and rising wages are drawing talent away from major business centers to second-tier cities. Companies must adapt their talent strategies to changing regional dynamics.
- To attract and retain top talent amid these changes, companies need to closely link rewards to business strategy and focus on differentiation, perceived value of compensation, and cultivating a high-performance culture.
This document provides an overview of key issues related to China's future economic growth and development. It discusses China's slowing GDP growth rate and increasing debt levels. It also covers topics like private consumption, climate change, China's relationships with Canada and the US, household debt, trade wars, and China's Belt and Road initiative. The document contains links to additional sources on these topics and China's economic agenda.

As a former emergency department Registered Nurse for over seven.docxrossskuddershamus
As a former emergency department Registered Nurse for over seven years, I recall the most significant complaints were our long wait times. For some patients, the wait time could be substantial. Since emergency departments aren't on a first-come, first-serve basis, wait times were often unpredictable and lengthy. Patients are triaged based on their level of acuity. Long Emergency Department (ED) Length of stay (EDLOS) is associated with poor patient outcomes, which has led to the implementation of time targets designed to keep EDLOS below a specific limit. (Andersson et al., 2020, p. 2)
The method conducted for the concept analysis on EDLOS was the Walker and Avant approach. They were able to research a way of measuring the concept empirically by identifying all concepts used. (Andersson et al., 2020) Nurses can use the Walker and Avant approach when there are limited concepts available to a nurse to explain a problem area. The process of concept analysis for nurses first transpired in 1986. (McEwen & Wills, 2019) Walker and Avant specifically designed an approach to concept analysis to help graduate nurses explain methods to examine phenomena that interests them. (McEwen & Wills, 2019) The basic concept analysis approach by Walker and Avant is as follows; 1. Select a concept 2. Determine the aims or purposes of the analysis. 3. Identify all the concept possible uses possible. 4. Determine the defining attributes. 5. Identify the model case. 6. Identify any borderline, related contrary, invent, and illegitimate cases. 7. Identify the antecedents and consequences. 8. Define the empirical referents. (McEwen & Wills, 2019, Tables 3-2)
Authors Aim and Purpose
As a former Emergency Department Nurse, I find it fascinating how the author chose to do the concept analysis on this topic. According to the author, when patients are forced to stay for extended lengths of time in the emergency department, this leads to poor patient outcomes, overcrowding, and an overall inefficient organization. (Andersson et al., 2020) I recall when a febrile child was left in the Emergency Department for a long time. The child became so agitated their respiratory status worsened. The authors aim to clarify the meaning of long EDLOS and identify the root causes of an emergency department length of stay of more than six hours. (Andersson et al., 2020)
Defining Attributes on the Concept Examined
In the emergency department, length of stay (LOS) is a widely used measurement. Emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is defined as the time interval between a patient's arrival to the ED to the time the patient physically leaves the ED. The defining attributes discovered that waiting in a crowded emergency department was just that, waiting. Waiting was the most acknowledged attribute associated with EDLOS. (Andersson et al., 2020) If the patients didn't have to wait, they wouldn't be a problem/complaint and had no time targets.

The document discusses how leading companies are improving collaboration between marketing and other functions through revamping key decision-making processes. It focuses on three areas: planning and strategy decisions, execution decisions, and operations/infrastructure decisions. Companies use simple tools like defining decision roles, criteria, and processes to streamline decisions made at organizational "seams". This approach clarifies responsibilities and has helped companies like Target and Nordstrom make better aligned, faster decisions to increase marketing effectiveness.
arugumentative essay on article given belowIn Parents Keep Chil.docxrossskuddershamus
arugumentative essay on article given below
In “Parents Keep Child’s Gender Secret”, Jayme Poisson writes an article about the true story of a Canadian couple raising their child without ever revealing the child’s gender (keeping it secret from anyone not in their immediate family). This has incited many strong reactions from readers and locals alike. Poisson’s piece allows us to form our own opinions about this subject and forces us to examine why we consider gender so important to the development of a child.
Kenji Yoshino writes about the term covering. ‘Covering’, as Yoshino uses it, means to ‘tone down a disfavored identity to fit into the mainstream’ (552), and Yoshino argues that though Americans value the idea of the melting pot as a model for our culture, that ideal can have unintended negative consequences. Despite our avowed appreciation for multiculturalism, the unstated public expectation is still for people of all genders, sexual orientations and races to conform to rigid expectations.
Prompt:
Yoshino discusses the pressures we face to “cover”. Apply this concept and cross-reference Poisson’s piece and the decision Storm’s parents have made to keep their child’s gender a secret. In what ways is it a strategy to resist covering? Is it an effective one? Is some measure of covering necessary in our society? Make an argument about how cultural expectations and individual (or parental) choices should affect or does affect gender identity.

Circling Round Vitruvius, Linear Perspective, and the
Design of Roman Wall Painting

Abstract: Many scholars believe that linear perspective existed in classical antiquity, but a fresh
examination of two key texts in Vitruvius shows that 1.2.2 is about modularity and symmetria,
while 7.Pr.11 describes shading (skiagraphia). Moreover, these new interpretations are firmly based on
the classical understanding of optics and the history of painting (e.g., Pliny the Elder). A third text
(Philostratus, Imagines 1.4.2) suggests that the design of Roman wall painting depends on concentric
circles. Philostratus’ system is then used to successfully make facsimiles of five walls, representing
Styles II, III, and IV of Roman wall painting. Hence, linear perspective and its relatives, such as
Panofsky’s vanishing vertical axis, should not be imposed retrospectively where they never existed.
Keywords: linear perspective; skenographia; skiagraphia; Greek and Roman painting; Roman fresco;
Vitruvius; Philostratus
Two systems for designing Pompeian wall paintings have dominated modern scholarship: a
one- or center-point perspective and a vanishing vertical axis.1 Neither method works for all the
variations seen on the walls of Styles II–IV. The vanishing vertical axis is considered a precursor of
linear perspective, whereas center-point construction is a form of linear perspective. Many scholars
believe that linear perspective was invented by the Greeks, only to be forgotten during the Middle
Ages and “reinvented” in the Renaissance.2 In contrast, I propose that linear perspective was not
known in any form in antiquity but, rather, was an invention of the Renaissance, which also created its
putative ancient pedigree.
1. Background
1.1. Definitions
First, it is important to define four key terms.
“Perspective” applies loosely to a wide range of systems that convert a three-dimensional scene
to two dimensions. Most scholars, however, mean “linear perspective” when they use the unqualified
term “perspective”. No standard definition exists for linear perspective, but only linear perspective
obeys the rules of projective geometry. Formal definitions refer to “station points” (the point or
place for the “eye” of the “viewer” and/or “artist”), vanishing points, horizon lines, and picture
planes, among other aspects. Horizontal lines converge to the “center point” or, in the case of
1 This topic is remarkably complex with a massive bibliography. Small (2013) provides a reasonable summary of the
scholarship to its date of publication. Since then, I have realized that the standard interpretations of key texts and objects
needs to be totally rethought. This artic.
ARTS & NATURE MARKETING PROJECT OF SHEFFIELDYang yux.docxrossskuddershamus
The document summarizes a marketing presentation for promoting Sheffield as a tourism destination. It begins with an analysis of Sheffield's strengths, such as its natural scenery and strong artistic culture, and weaknesses, such as having less cultural attractions than competitors. The presentation then outlines marketing communication objectives to increase tourism by 40% and social media popularity by 30% in 12 months. A strategy is introduced to promote Sheffield's unique strengths of arts and natural geography through a "Green & Art Festival." The target audience is identified as people of all ages who love both arts and nature.
This study aimed to characterize workplace violence experienced by healthcare workers at a public hospital in Lisbon, Portugal. A qualitative survey was conducted through interviews with 6 workers, and a quantitative survey was distributed to 32 workers. The main findings were that 41 incidents of physical or verbal violence over the past 2 years were reported, with the majority perpetrated by patients or their family members. Most victims reported permanent feelings of hypervigilance after experiencing violence. Many workers were unfamiliar with reporting procedures or felt reporting was useless. Most felt workplace violence could be minimized through strategies like increased security and restricted access to patient care areas.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
