Will China Continue to Be a Growth MarketplaceChina is expected.docx

gauthierleppington

Will China Continue to Be a Growth Marketplace? China is expected to have some 200 million people in the middle-and upper-income categories by the early 2020s. This is a tenfold increase in people with significant purchasing power in China in the last decade, from only about 17 million people in these income brackets as recently as in 2010. China’s purchasing power for virtually all products and services has strong potential, and foreign companies now strategically try to take advantage of these market opportunities. What have we learned culturally that can help companies establish themselves in China’s marketplace? What went wrong early on? The experience of well-known companies such as Best Buy and eBay can serve as a learning experience for others. From a retail perspective, the motivation for many foreign companies to enter China some years ago – beyond those companies that have been in China for decades to achieve low-cost production-was the triple growth of the Chinse economy that was seen from 2000 to 2010. With this growth, China overlook Japan to become the second-largest economy in the world behind only the United States, and its large population makes for an enormous target market. Investment from foreign companies was the largest driver of China’s growth. Many companies also increased their exports to China. The United States, for example, saw its companies increase exports to China by 542 percent from 2000 to 2011 (from about $16.2 billion to $103.9 billion), while total exports to the rest of the world by U.S. companies increased by only 80 percent in the same time period. Exporting to China has become somewhat stagnant in the last few years, now representing about $113 billion. Interestingly, domestic consumption as a share of the Chinese economy has declined from 46 percent to 33 percent. This consumption decline-coupled with slower growth globally-has raised questions about China’s momentum. Tight now, around 85 percent of mainstream Chinese consumers are living in the top 100 wealthiest cities. By the early 2020s, these advanced and developing cities will have relatively few customers who are lower than the middle-and upper-income brackets by Chinese standards. The expectation is that these consumers will be able to afford a range of developed nations’ products and services, such as flat-screen televisions and overseas travel, making the Chinese customer much more of a target for a wide variety of consumption. But can the unprecedented Chinese growth really continue, and would it come from increased consumption? The resounding answer is yes, according to McKinsey & Company. McKinsey found that barring another major economic shock similar to what we saw in 2008, China’s gross domestic product (GDP) will continue to grow, albeit not at the historic levels seen between 2000 and 2010, when it grew about 10.4 percent annually. The growth in the 2020s is expected to be about 5.5 percent per year (until 2030), which is still far a.

WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes.docx

gauthierleppington

WikiLeaks is an international non-profit organization that publishes secret information, news leaks, and classified media from anonymous sources. All of this is done through cyberspace and breaches of cyber security. WikiLeaks’ website, initiated in 2006 in Iceland by the organization Sunshine Press, claims a database of 10 million documents in 10 years since its launch. The group has released a number of significant documents that have become front-page news items. During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, Wikileaks released e-mails and other documents from the Democratic National Committee and from Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta. These releases are believed to have caused significant damage to the Clinton campaign. The U.S. intelligence community expressed "high confidence" that the leaked e-mails had been hacked by Russia and supplied to Wikileaks, while Wikileaks denied their source was Russia or any other state. During the campaign, Wikileaks and Assange regularly promoted and popularized conspiracy theories and falsehoods about Clinton and the Democratic Party. Wikileaks has drawn criticism for its absence of whistleblowing on or criticism of Russia, and for criticizing the Panama Papers' exposé of Russian businesses and individuals with offshore bank accounts. Wikileaks has also been criticized for inadequately curating its content and violating the personal privacy of individuals. Wikileaks has, for instance, revealed Social Security numbers, medical information, credit card numbers, and other sensitive personal information. Should officers of WikiLeaks, including Assange be prosecuted? Has WikiLeaks damaged the United States or has it performed a service by revealing information that the United States citizens had a right to know. Remember, nothing that WikiLeaks has ever published has been proven to be false. .

This document discusses different views on the history of manga. Some trace it back to the postwar years in the 1950s, while others see continuity in manga as a sequential art form dating back much earlier, possibly to the late 19th century or early 20th century. It asks the reader to consider their stance on how far back the history of manga goes after reviewing several sources, and discusses factors like sequential art, style, and Japanese origins that are important in defining manga's history. It also questions why there is disagreement about the timeline of manga's history.

WikiLeaks is a nonprofit organization which uses its website to publ.docx

gauthierleppington

WikiLeaks is a nonprofit organization which uses its website to publish governmental, private data, corporate or religious documents that had previously been secret. The website was started in 2006, and had over 1.2 million documents in its database by the time one year had passed. Usually, it does not give out the names and addresses of people who post documents. The site is based in Sweden. Though its name is similar to Wikipedia, it is not related to Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation. The name was chosen because WikiLeaks used a wiki model at first, where people could edit the site, but it has since changed and is no longer open for editing. In July 2010, WikiLeaks was in the news for publishing over 76,900 documents related to the War in Afghanistan. In October that same year, WikiLeaks posted almost 400,000 documents that were about the War in Iraq. This was the largest ever leak of documents about the US Army. It reported mainly on deaths of civilians, soldiers, and sightings of homemade bombs or armed civilians. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiLeaks Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of the organization WikiLeaks, which he founded in 2006. He has won numerous accolades for journalism, including the Sam Adams Award and Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism. Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 but came to global prominence in 2010 when WikiLeaks published a series of leaks, provided by Chelsea Manning. These leaks included the Collateral Murder video (April 2010), the Afghanistan war logs (July 2010), the Iraq war logs (October 2010), and CableGate (November 2010). Following the 2010 leaks, the United States government launched a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks and asked allied nations for assistance. In November 2010, a request was made for Assange's extradition to Sweden, where he had been questioned months earlier over allegations of sexual assault and rape. Assange continued to deny the allegations, and expressed concern that he would be extradited from Sweden to the United States due to his perceived role in publishing secret American documents. Assange surrendered himself to UK police on 7 December 2010 and was held for ten days in solitary confinement before being released on bail. Assange sought and was granted asylum by Ecuador in August 2012. Assange has since remained in the Embassy of Ecuador in London, and is unable to leave without being arrested for breaching his bail conditions. In 2016, WikiLeaks published the DNC leaks and the Podesta emails during the United States presidential election, 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Assange There are many who have credited WikiLeaks and its founder Assange for exposing the United States, and many in its government for many illegal and secret acts on the part of the United States. Others have claimed that Assange and WikiLeaks is a spy and traitor and has seriously damage.

WHYPARTIESFORM 45 equilibrium the ordinary circumstance, there would be no incentive to form a party based on the social choice problem. But even when an equilibrium exists, the political party need not make its members worse off than without the parry; they can always choose to take no "partisan" actions. With PIEs generally considered impossible, there is a strong incentive for parties to form, precisely because of the likeli- 1altves hood of disequilibrium. Riker's dismal conclusion turns out to provide a strong case for the formation of political parties. The new institutionalism (e.g., Shepsle 1979) emerged in response to the ordinary absence of (pure) voting equilibria. Two points discussed below and in later chapters are also relevant here.

At its most basic, this statement is a company’s revenues, expenses, and the difference between the two. The difference is called net income. It is important to note that revenues and profits are not the same as cash. Revenues include amounts earned which may or may not have been collected from customers yet. There could be amounts that customers had paid at an earlier time but have just been earned. There could be estimates and assumptions included as well. Expenses are not necessarily amounts that have been paid. They include expenses that have been incurred but may be paid later. There may also be amounts that were paid in an earlier time-period but are now being recognized due to the matching of revenues and expenses. Estimates and assumptions are also present in expenses. Net income is sometimes called the bottom line. It is revenues minus expenses. If expenses are more than revenues, it is called net loss. There may be important subtotals presented in the income statement such as gross profit. This subtotal is sometimes called the line. Gross profit is net sales minus cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold are costs or expenses directly related to sales such as direct labor, direct materials and overhead. Each statement will have a heading. It includes the company name, statement name and the time-period covered. An income statement covers a span of time. It is usually a company’s fiscal year but can be for shorter periods such as a month or quarter (three months).

Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, PoorerThe thesis o.docx

gauthierleppington

Why the Rich are Getting Richer and the Poor, Poorer The thesis of the Paper The report " Why the Rich are Getting Rich and the Poor, Poorer opens the eyes of the audience by making them understand the unemployment that people are suffering from is because of lack of technology and education. The paper aims to make the reader understand why the rich continue to get richer and the poor poorer (Heyward 40). The author gives an introduction of three boats sailing within the economy of America. One of the boats carries the symbolist analysis; another one is the in-person servers, and the last one carries the routine producers. The author states that the Americans were once in the same boat when corporations could sell goods and services globally as this increased the purchasing power of the Americans (Berry, 13). In this part, the author introduces the reader on its main ideas of the essay and what will be covered in the essay. Supporting arguments Robert Reich supports his thesis by giving various explanations to help in the understanding of the reasons behind his arguments. First, the author talks about increasing rates of the sinking of the boats that belong to the routine producers from the time the Americans began to construct companies in the developing countries. When this happens, the employees are hired from these countries and are given the exact payments that the Americans could have earned. Meaning, the minority who depend on these industries for their survival continues to suffer and remain poor. However, the only people who benefit are the symbolic Analysts. The second argument is that the in-person server’s and the routine producers have lost their jobs because they have been replaced with modern technology. According to Reich, as much as the in-person servers suffer, they are protected from the direct impacts of global competition as compared to the routine producers who are directly affected by the issue (Heyward 16). The author states that only the symbolic analysts have their jobs in the rise as their services are demanded across the globe because they have problem-solving skills. The report also brings a clear understanding of the reason why the poor are getting poorer especially be talking about the companies replacing human efforts with the robots which are believed to be more efficient. Another argument is that the author explains that the in-person servants become even more miserable when the routine producers lose their jobs and begin board ships carrying the In-Person servants. According to the author, these people are exposed to more risks of unemployment and are threatened by the increased number of high school graduates, the high rates of immigration and the labour saving machinery (Berry, 5). He believes that the world has only created more opportunities for the symbolic analysts and they end up getting more money from selling their knowledge to those who want to make a fortune.

Why is skilled communication among health professionals so difficult to achieve? How will you overcome the use of ineffective communication? TERRY L. HAPNEY TERRY L. HAPNEY Public Relations and the School Superintendent Marshall University From the SelectedWorks of Terry L. Hapney Jr., Ph.D. Summer June, 2018 Public Relations and the School Superintendent: From Theory to Practice Terry L. Hapney, Jr. Available at: https://works.bepress.com/terryhapney/10 / Public Relations and the School Superintendent From Theory to Practice TERRY L. HAPNEY, JR. ABSTRACT: This article examines public relations in the K–12 school system context. Specifically, the goal of this article is to examine the school superintendent as the chief public relations practitioner of the school system and how he/she would operate as such in the realms of seven public relations theories, as the superintendent works toward meeting the goals and objectives of his/her school district: strategic management function, communitas versus corporatas, persuasion, storytelling and branding, postmodernism, understanding, and sociology. INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW S chools are organizations that are located in every community in the United States. Stakeholders in, and related to, schools include students, parents, teachers, administrators, school board members, legislators and other government officials, and alumni, among others. Research shows strong communication skills are a must for superintendents of school systems. Unfortunately, the assumption is anyone can be an effective communicator (Kowalski, 2005). Communication is at the heart of an effective public 306 Journal of School Public Relations Volume 37—Summer 2016 307 relations program in an organization (Kowalski, 2011). Many superintendents question the relevance of allocating funds and designating time to engage in public relations (2011). Studies have shown that superintendents have received poor performance evaluations and have even been dismissed due to “inconsistent and incompetent communication” (Kowalski, 2005, p. 112). Thus, the chief administrator in the school system has a big problem to overcome, and effective school public relations can help solve that problem. School public relations consists of applying public relations in organizations that deliver educational services. It is utilized in both private and public K–12 schools, as well as colleges and universities (Kowalski, 2011). This article examines public relations in the K–12 school system context. Specifically, the goal of this article is to examine the school superintendent as the chief public relations practitioner of the school system and how he/she would operate as such in the realms of seven public relations theories, as the superintendent works toward meeting the goals and objectives of his/her school district: strategic management function, communitas versus corporatas, persuasion, storytelling and branding, postmodernism, understanding, and soc.

Why Luck Matters More Than You Might ThinkWhen people see themse.docx

gauthierleppington

Why Luck Matters More Than You Might Think When people see themselves as self-made, they tend to be less generous and public-spirited. · MAY 2016 ISSUEBottom of Form I’m a lucky man. Perhaps the most extreme example of my considerable good fortune occurred one chilly Ithaca morning in November 2007, while I was playing tennis with my longtime friend and collaborator, the Cornell psychologist Tom Gilovich. He later told me that early in the second set, I complained of feeling nauseated. The next thing he knew, I was lying motionless on the court. He yelled for someone to call 911, and then started pounding on my chest—something he’d seen many times in movies but had never been trained to do. He got a cough out of me, but seconds later I was again motionless with no pulse. Very shortly, an ambulance showed up. Ithaca’s ambulances are dispatched from the other side of town, more than five miles away. How did this one arrive so quickly? By happenstance, just before I collapsed, ambulances had been dispatched to two separate auto accidents close to the tennis center. Since one of them involved no serious injuries, an ambulance was able to peel off and travel just a few hundred yards to me. EMTs put electric paddles on my chest and rushed me to our local hospital. There, I was loaded onto a helicopter and flown to a larger hospital in Pennsylvania, where I was placed on ice overnight. Doctors later told me that I’d suffered an episode of sudden cardiac arrest. Almost 90 percent of people who experience such episodes don’t survive, and the few who do are typically left with significant impairments. And for three days after the event, my family tells me, I spoke gibberish. But on day four, I was discharged from the hospital with a clear head. Two weeks later, I was playing tennis with Tom again. If that ambulance hadn’t happened to have been nearby, I would be dead. Not all random events lead to favorable outcomes, of course. Mike Edwards is no longer alive because chance frowned on him. Edwards, formerly a cellist in the British pop band the Electric Light Orchestra, was driving on a rural road in England in 2010 when a 1,300-pound bale of hay rolled down a steep hillside and landed on his van, crushing him. By all accounts, he was a decent, peaceful man. That a bale of hay snuffed out his life was bad luck, pure and simple. Most people will concede that I’m fortunate to have survived and that Edwards was unfortunate to have perished. But in other arenas, randomness can play out in subtler ways, causing us to resist explanations that involve luck. In particular, many of us seem uncomfortable with the possibility that personal success might depend to any significant extent on chance. As E. B. White once wrote, “Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.” Seeing ourselves as self-made leads us to be less generous and public-spirited.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP

RAHUL

This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade. The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization, population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different 'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the land. The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover. Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface, providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and diverse human activities. Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems 9 Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can occur natural.
