McDonald's entered the Chinese market in 1990 and has since expanded to over 800 stores across China. Some of their strategies for success in China include offering very cheap products to appeal to cost-conscious customers, developing products tailored to Chinese tastes, and focusing expansion efforts on less developed areas poised for growth as China continues to develop rapidly. Their main competitor in China is Kentucky Fried Chicken, which entered the Chinese market earlier than McDonald's. Looking ahead, McDonald's sees great potential for further expansion across developing Asian markets with large poor populations that could become new customer bases.

The document discusses the cellular level of organization. It describes the key components of eukaryotic cells including the plasma membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. The plasma membrane separates the cell from its external environment and regulates the exchange of materials. It is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins that allow for selective permeability and transport. The nucleus contains the cell's DNA, and the cytoplasm contains organelles and cytosol.

Biologists use six key characteristics to determine if something is considered a living thing: 1) being made of cells, 2) using and needing energy, 3) being adapted to their surroundings, 4) reacting to changes, 5) reproducing, and 6) growing and developing. All living things exhibit all six of these characteristics, while nonliving things lack at least one of these characteristics.

The document discusses optimal strategies for executing portfolio transactions that balance liquidation costs and volatility risks. It presents a dilemma between trading everything now at a known high cost versus trading in small packets over time with lower liquidation costs but higher uncertainty in final revenue due to volatility. The document proposes modeling the problem as an optimization that minimizes expected shortfall and variance, allowing traders to assess their risk tolerance, and outlines assumptions and approaches for solving it either analytically or numerically.
Writing habits are important to develop to improve one's writing. Some key habits include writing every day, even just for 5 minutes, and carrying a notebook everywhere. It's also important to edit drafts by "killing darlings" or removing parts that don't fit. Writers should also understand their target audience and use appropriate language for who will read the piece. Lastly, unplugging from distractions like social media allows one to focus fully on the writing. Developing these habits can help writers improve and be more productive.

1. Chi ha conosciuto delle persone molto anziane – o frequentato una
casa di riposo – di sicuro le ha viste leggere (nella migliore delle
ipotesi) o giocare a carte, o guardare la TV o, semplicemente, fuori
della finestra.
2. A me è capitato di chiedermi: in realtà, che stanno
facendo? Che significato hanno queste cose? Sarò
pessimista, ma la risposta che mi sono dato è stata:
"In fondo, stanno solo ammazzando il tempo
3. In attesa che il tempo ammazzi loro. È un
modo come un altro per aspettare la morte,
cercando di non pensarci, quando si è dato e
si è preso tutto quello che si poteva dalla vita
4. Siccome probabilmente sono depresso (ma rifiuto di
ammetterlo) ho però approfondito la questione,
guardando dentro di me: è vero che tutte quelle
attività sono solo una perdita di tempo, ma quante
delle cose che facciamo ogni giorno sono prive di
significato, sono solo un ammazzare il tempo?
5. Tutto sommato, parecchie. Giochi enigmistici, giochini
al computer, partite a carte e così via, sono solo
tempo sprecato. Anche metterci a guardare un film
può servire a divertirci, ma non dà molto significato
alla nostra esistenza.
6. Tanti anni fa Isaac Asimov scrisse una serie di
racconti, ambientati in un club, il Club dei Vedovi
Neri. Le persone invitate a cena dai soci, alla fine
della cena si sentivano chiedere: come giustifichi la
tua esistenza? Era un modo intelligente per
introdurre poi un caso sul quale investigare.
7. Ma la domanda resta interessante: come
giustifichiamo la nostra esistenza? Quali sono le cose
importanti che facciamo, i momenti veramente
significativi del nostro vivere?
8. Mi sono messo a sbucciare la mia vita come si fa con
una cipolla, tirando man mano via gli strati inutili:
togliamo innanzitutto le cose di cui dovremmo solo
vergognarci (ed ognuno ha le sue.)
9. Togliamo i momenti di gioco al computer, i
solitari, le partite a carte; togliamo i momenti
passati a guardare le solite fesserie alla TV
eccetera...
10. Alla fine, quali sono le cose veramente valide, quelle
che non servono solo ad ammazzare il tempo, quelle
che non puoi più fare da vecchio?
11. Allora ho trovato tutti i momenti che ho
passato a giocare con i miei figli, a starci
insieme, a cercare di educarli.
13. Gli altri momenti che ho passato con i miei
parenti ed amici più stretti, fatti di amore,
affetto e gioia.
14. I momenti in cui una persona, anche estranea,
mi ha detto grazie: allora mi sono reso conto
che, in grande od in piccolo, tutti avevano alla
base l'amore.
15. I momenti veramente importanti della vita, in
fondo, sono solo quelli in cui dai o ricevi amore.
L'amore è il nutrimento più profondo di cui ogni
essere umano ha bisogno.
16. Dare amore è l'unica cosa che non rimpiangerai
mai di aver fatto, anche se potrai averlo dato
alla persona sbagliata.
17. Questi pensieri che ho buttato giù adesso, in
fondo, non sono niente di originale: c'è stato
un certo Gesù che aveva detto le stesse cose
più di 2000 anni fa.
18. E c'è stato S. Giovanni della Croce che l'ha
detto molto chiaramente: "Alla sera della vita,
saremo giudicati sull'amore".
19. Se ci troveremo un giorno a poter solo stare
seduti davanti ad una finestra...quanti momenti
importanti avremo avuto, cioè: quanto amore
avremo dato?
20. L’augurio per ognuno di noi è che la
risposta sia: TANTISSIMO, GRAZIE A DIO.
Ciao. Gerardo
