香港六合彩
这件事，我没有香港六合彩告诉张先生，但他后来香港六合彩还是知道了，埋怨地说：“你这人太老实了，香港六合彩马会并不缺画，但我香港六合彩喜欢你的画，你的画才是真正的中国画。”
他对香港六合彩我说，很多人不懂中国画的真缔，只是人云亦云地凑热闹香港六合彩而已。不久，他亲自动笔，写下了他对我的画的评价：“谢举贤先生居港十二年来，为香港六合彩写意国画界带来无穷的艺术乐趣。他的画风豪迈香港六合彩独特；用笔奔放流畅，画意简洁感人……常常大笔纵横，香港六合彩阆阆几下就把人物痛饮、大嚼、欢宴、享乐等之香港六合彩神态惟妙惟肖地表现出来。另外，还有活泼天真的孩童，充满生气的花鸟，雄奇新颖的香港六合彩山水，取材丰富，画法全面。”
在1996年，张奥伟香港六合彩先生带着马会欧阳先生等高层人物到大会堂参观我的个展，当场选买了三十幅香港六合彩国画。后来，我去马会拿钱时，出纳还记得上次的事，不香港六合彩解地说：“我们马会是香港最好的宣传场所，人家都把画装好免费送来，怎么你的香港六合彩画还要我们拿钱买。”
我也不示弱地香港六合彩回答：“那没办法，我的画就得拿钱买。你生板起香港六合彩了脸，不高兴地对出纳说：“我告诉你，他的画和人家的画不同。真正的艺术品是香港六合彩有价值的！如果艺术品都不要钱，这个世界哪还有香港六合彩艺术家呢？”
香港六合彩
后来新鸿基香港六合彩老板冯景禧先生请我和张奥香港六合彩伟先生一起吃饭时，终于道出了原委。那幅字是香港六合彩冯景禧先生代送的，他没有细看。因为刘海粟先生的香港六合彩画展是冯景禧先生创办的，原安排张奥伟先生捧场，香港六合彩但张奥伟先生没有。……冯景禧、张奥伟、胡汉辉当时是最要好的三友，每周都一起打香港六合彩网球。“其实你自己也没的捧场。”张笑着对香港六合彩痛快说。“是的。”冯望着我说，“担展览香港六合彩结束时，我给了100万他，他拿了些字画，要我帮忙赠送一些朋友，后来还要住在我家，我们都香港六合彩不同意。”说到这里，冯景禧太太插上了一句：“我们没法把他安排到中文大学。”不知怎么的，我突然想起香港六合彩武训。
1922年生于香港六合彩香港，有着八分之一英国血统的张奥伟先生，1951年就在香港六合彩香港获大律师称号，香港报纸评价他说：“终年八十一岁的张奥伟，一生赢过香港六合彩无数第一，包括第一个华人御用大律师，第一个华人香港六合彩马会主席。七十年代他走进权力核心，当上立法局首席非官守议员及行香港六合彩政局议员，在八十年代中英会谈期间，向英国反映港人意见。”是“香港六合彩叱咤政坛、马场、法律界近半个世纪的教父”。他香港六合彩酷爱中国文化，对中国画和古董收藏有着浓厚兴趣，还爱好摄影。很快，我们香港六合彩成了无话不谈的忘年交。尽管通过翻译转口，许多词语都香港六合彩变了味儿，但他仍然喜欢和我闲聊，我在他面前也香港六合彩有点肆无忌惮。有一次抬起杠来，我竟脱口而出：“香港六合彩你是中国人，却拿了英国女皇封的‘爵士 ’，可不要当香港六合彩汉奸哇。

Stand Your Ground Memo
The memorandum discusses South Carolina's "Stand Your Ground" law, known as the Protection of Persons and Property Act. It states that under this law, a person may use deadly force to defend themselves or their property without fear of criminal prosecution if they had a reasonable fear of imminent danger. It analyzes two relevant cases, State v. Duncan and State v. Curry, that establish the legal standard. Duncan found that to receive immunity under the act, the defendant must file a pretrial motion to dismiss and present evidence that they acted in self-defense by a preponderance of evidence. Curry upheld denying a motion for acquittal filed after the trial began, as true immunity requires dismissal before trial.

TechSydney: NSW Tech & Innovation Precinct Industry Report
NSW is on the cusp of building a technology innovation precinct across Central to Eveleigh which has the potential to transform the national tech landscape. If we keep our sights aimed high, the precinct will be the centrepiece of a strategy that ensures Australia exports high-value goods to the world and elevates Sydney to a Top 10 global technology city.
Throughout August-October 2018, TechSydney surveyed 150 tech companies in the city, representing 5,700 local jobs. We asked these companies what they wanted to see in a tech precinct. These are the results.

Industrial Recruitment

In previous classes, we have introduced some US government facts as well as some historical and theoretical background of business-government relations. Starting from this week, we are going to focus on business-government relations in economic development, especially in local context.
Today we will cover chapter 9 = industrial recruitment. We will look a various economic theories, cluster theory, political context of local economic development, and industrial recrtuiment.
Economic growth contributes to an increase in consumption which benefits all sectors of the economic community.
Despite the dynamic in the growth loop, economic growth can not be indefinite (e.g., land is limited).
*
An economy will reach a natural equilibrium if capital can flow without restrictionCapital mobility: capital will flow from high cost areas to low cost areasEquilibrium: overall market and all areas will reach a state of equal statusNo government intervention:
opposing government regulations on the movement of firms
attracting capital with community’s resources (e.g., land, labor, infrastructure, financial incentives, etc.)
*
Location theoryFactors affecting a firm’s location choiceGovernment should enhance the location with government performance, policies, and resourcesEconomic base theoryLocal demands vs. external demands Government should recruit businesses that have a market beyond the local area and encourage export-oriented industries.
Location theory, on the other hand, seeks to explain an area’s competitiveness in terms of firms’ locational orientation—what factors of an area contribute to a firm’s location choice. Location theorists assume that firms, in order to maximize their profits, choose locations that minimize the cost of transporting goods to the market place. Unlike the neoclassical school, location theorists generally assert that government should play a critical role in enhancing the location. A capable, cooperative, and responsive government can potentially better meet business’ needs for land, infrastructure such as transportation and roads, education, and other public services.
Economic base theory analyzes growth from the demand side rather than the supply side. It differentiates the economic activities of an area into two components—those which meet the local demands and those which satisfy the demands outside the community. The former is non-basic, which does not lead to growth, while the latter is basic, which will generate local wealth and jobs.

The document provides a summary of a research report on crowdfunding market trends from 2012. It analyzed data from over 170 survey responses and 135 crowdfunding platforms. Key findings include:
- The global crowdfunding market raised nearly $1.5 billion in 2011, with over 1 million successful campaigns.
- North America was the largest market but Europe was gaining share.
- Donation-based and lending-based platforms contributed most funds but reward-based platforms grew the fastest.
- The number of active crowdfunding platforms grew from 138 in 2009 to over 450 in 2012, with most based in North America and Europe.
- Reward-based represented the largest category by number of
Network Based Private Equity Investment
1) Analyzing patent data from organizations like universities can help identify clusters of innovative activity within certain technology domains and regions. This data reveals networks of inventors and their areas of expertise.
2) Convening key inventors from universities and companies within overlapping domains allows investors to explore opportunities at the intersections of technologies and fund collaborations.
3) Mapping innovation networks can guide private equity investments into partnerships between manufacturers and small innovators, technology transfers between academia and industry, and other models that create jobs and wealth in a region.
Chapter 2 Schilling 2017 Sources of Innovation
Individuals, firms, universities, government laboratories, and private non-profit organizations can all be sources of innovation. Firms are well-suited for innovation activities because they have greater resources than individuals and a system to direct those resources. Innovation can come from individuals, either as lone inventors or users designing solutions to meet their own needs. Universities and government laboratories also contribute to innovation through research efforts. Regional clusters can spur innovation through proximity that facilitates knowledge exchange, as seen in technology hubs like Silicon Valley.

Intelligent public policy to boost private sector innovations
Innovation is demand driven. India is not home to any significant global innovation for the obvious reason -there is no demand for innovations in India. There is demand for innovative products/ services and they are met by imports. Preaching to private sector to invest in R&D has become an annual ritual. Declaration like Innovation Decade exposed hollowness of public policy. Will the government walk the talk?
chapter 2
Individuals, firms, universities, government laboratories, and private non-profit organizations can all be sources of innovation. The document discusses each of these sources in detail. It explains that individuals can be lone inventors or users developing solutions to their own needs. Firms have greater resources than individuals and incentives to develop new products. Universities and government laboratories perform basic research, while firms focus more on applied research and development. Private non-profits also contribute to innovation through research and development.

Location theory, on the other hand, seeks to explain an area’s competitiveness in terms of firms’ locational orientation—what factors of an area contribute to a firm’s location choice. Location theorists assume that firms, in order to maximize their profits, choose locations that minimize the cost of transporting goods to the market place. Unlike the neoclassical school, location theorists generally assert that government should play a critical role in enhancing the location. A capable, cooperative, and responsive government can potentially better meet business’ needs for land, infrastructure such as transportation and roads, education, and other public services.
Economic base theory analyzes growth from the demand side rather than the supply side. It differentiates the economic activities of an area into two components—those which meet the local demands and those which satisfy the demands outside the community. The former is non-basic, which does not lead to growth, while the latter is basic, which will generate local wealth and jobs.

In previous classes, we have introduced some US government facts as well as some historical and theoretical background of business-government relations. Starting from this week, we are going to focus on business-government relations in economic development, especially in local context.
Today we will cover chapter 9 = industrial recruitment. We will look a various economic theories, cluster theory, political context of local economic development, and industrial recrtuiment.
Economic growth contributes to an increase in consumption which benefits all sectors of the economic community.
Despite the dynamic in the growth loop, economic growth can not be indefinite (e.g., land is limited).

Network Based Private Equity Investment
1) Analyzing patent data from organizations like universities can help identify clusters of innovative activity within certain technology domains and regions. This data reveals networks of inventors and their areas of expertise.
2) Convening key inventors from universities and companies within overlapping domains allows investors to explore opportunities at the intersections of technologies and fund collaborations.
3) Mapping innovation networks can guide private equity investments into partnerships between manufacturers and small innovators, technology transfers between academia and industry, and other models that create jobs and wealth in a region.
Chapter 2 Schilling 2017 Sources of Innovation
Individuals, firms, universities, government laboratories, and private non-profit organizations can all be sources of innovation. Firms are well-suited for innovation activities because they have greater resources than individuals and a system to direct those resources. Innovation can come from individuals, either as lone inventors or users designing solutions to meet their own needs. Universities and government laboratories also contribute to innovation through research efforts. Regional clusters can spur innovation through proximity that facilitates knowledge exchange, as seen in technology hubs like Silicon Valley.

Intelligent public policy to boost private sector innovations
Innovation is demand driven. India is not home to any significant global innovation for the obvious reason -there is no demand for innovations in India. There is demand for innovative products/ services and they are met by imports. Preaching to private sector to invest in R&D has become an annual ritual. Declaration like Innovation Decade exposed hollowness of public policy. Will the government walk the talk?
chapter 2
Individuals, firms, universities, government laboratories, and private non-profit organizations can all be sources of innovation. The document discusses each of these sources in detail. It explains that individuals can be lone inventors or users developing solutions to their own needs. Firms have greater resources than individuals and incentives to develop new products. Universities and government laboratories perform basic research, while firms focus more on applied research and development. Private non-profits also contribute to innovation through research and development.

UNC Economic Transformation Council 4-14 - JKrukin
This document discusses opportunities for the University of North Carolina system to fill research gaps in the commercial space industry and support the formation of spin-off companies. It identifies several sectors within the new commercial "NewSpace" industry, including suborbital spaceflight. It then outlines potential research areas and curriculum where UNC could contribute, such as in vehicle propulsion, avionics, and small satellite development. The document advocates for establishing a North Carolina NewSpace initiative at UNC to help inventory relevant industry clusters, identify stakeholders, and develop a roadmap to gain state support. The goal would be to leverage UNC's resources and expertise to participate in this growing industry.

Its goals include establishing a permanent human presence in the solar system through private enterprise and international cooperation. The organization will hold its 6th Return to the Moon conference to discuss challenges and opportunities for returning to the Moon through panels on past mistakes, transportation, living on the Moon, activities, policies, technologies, international partnerships, and business models.
MS2004 Agenda2-23
The document discusses the March Storm group's mission to expand access to and commercial development of space. It argues that unlocking opportunities in space will facilitate more effective and less expensive exploration. The group believes the US should encourage private sector economic activity and development in space. It also discusses why governments have historically supported exploration, and argues that current space efforts do not provide benefits to the American people. The document proposes establishing public-private partnerships and using tax incentives to unleash private resources and develop new space markets, industries, and jobs. It urges support for specific legislative proposals to incentivize investment and development in space transportation, new space industries, and spaceport infrastructure.
Web-enabling mainframe applications
Web-enabling Mainframe Applications discusses five methods for extending legacy mainframe applications: refacing, repurposing, restructuring, reengineering, and replacing. Refacing involves putting a graphical user interface on green screens. Repurposing changes an application's purpose using business rules. Restructuring breaks applications into presentation, data, and connectivity layers. Reengineering completely rewrites applications. Replacing substitutes applications with ERP packages. The document describes Attachmate products that implement these methods like e-Vantage for refacing, repurposing, and integrating applications.
NC NewSpace Commerce Forum Program

Space Investment Summit 3 (SIS-3) promotes and supports innovation in space commerce worldwide. SIS-3 focuses on leading seed and early stage investors, space entrepreneurs and space commerce professionals, and provides a unique opportunity to expand networks, join peer-to-peer discussions and assess pre-screened entrepreneurial business plans from companies with high growth potential. Attendees. SIS-3 is an outstanding event for qualified investors, entrepreneurs, and representatives of established companies, government, academia, and non-profit organizations. Program. Expert investors pack the SIS-3 program agenda with “first-look” updates on up- and-coming investment opportunities in space-related commerce, inside information on partnering opportunities, and reliable knowledge about pre-screened entrepreneurial companies. For later-stage investors, SIS-3 reveals how space-related startups can move successfully through the investment pipeline, beyond seed and early stage status. The SIS-3 agenda features special keynote speakers, networking receptions, an entrepreneurial exhibition and reception/dinner, and a variety of session topics. An Overview of the Space Industry for Investors Lessons from the Trenches Guiding Space VC Fund Development High Value Space Applications: Energy Markets Crossover Investment Opportunities in Space-Enabled Technologies Lessons from Europe on Entrepreneurship & Investment Expanding Angel, Seed & Early State Investment Options Pre-Screened Entrepreneurial Business Plans. SIS-3 invites entrepreneurs to submit space commerce business plans for consideration at the SIS-3 investor forum. A panel of investors and space commerce experts will evaluate applicant entrepreneur business plans, select top candidates and invite the entrepreneurs selected to either present their business plans or exhibit at the SIS-3 investor forum, or both present and exhibit. Market areas to be considered are biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, materials, satellite services (communications, navigation, and observation), transportation, media, tourism, entertainment, advertising and others. Crucial selection criteria are business plan quality and amount of private investment already obtained. Of special interest are innovative business plans for enterprises that address markets: (1) in space; (2) enabled by space; (3) now commercially productive but which include an incremental plan for activities extending into space; and (4) that present the space experience. A limited number of applications will be accepted on a “first come, first served” basis. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to submit applications as soon as possible in order to be considered. A Proven Track Record. SIS-1 in New York City’s financial district in April 2007 proved to be a highly successful first step (see http://www.spaceinvestmentsummit.com).
