Hong Kong's tiny hiccup
Paul Slade foresees continued prosperity after the handover
Wednesday 28 May 1997
"Handing back a territory to a motherland with a different social, political and economic evolution is a scenario unique in constitutional history," says Mr Cheng. "It may have been inevitable that the process would have been perceived as difficult. However, the number of sceptical views I read about the future of the territory - particularly those from outside Hong Kong - astounds me."
Certainly there have been enough gloomy forecasts for the period leading up to Mr Patten's handover to the Chinese on 1 July. Some predict a brain drain from the territory, robbing Hong Kong of the very skills and intelligence which have made it one of the world's most buoyant economies and a vital financial services centre for Asia and the world. But Mr Cheng argues: "We have more people and capital coming into Hong Kong than ever before. We have rising prosperity and declining levels of crime. The problem is how to handle the influx of people, rather than how to deal with an empty city."
Hong Kong's success story is an impressive one. GDP growth over the past decade has averaged 6 per cent a year, three times that of the OECD countries. Per capita income is US$26,000 (pounds 16,250), higher than that of Britain, Australia or Canada. So far, the leading Hang Seng stock market index and the Hong Kong property market have continued to rise in 1997. Ironically, the very strength of Hong Kong property may also prove a weakness for the territory, as high rental values hit its competitiveness as an administrative and financial centre.
One of the most powerful pointers to continued prosperity for Hong Kong under Chinese rule is the extent to which the two economies are already intertwined. Hong Kong has long since exported its traditional role as a low-cost manufacturing economy to China. Hong Kong-based employers - who already employ five million workers in China - can reduce their wages bill still further by relocating factories to the Republic of China.
The territory has reinvented itself as Asia's leading financial services centre - among other things a debt market for financial futures and derivatives for Chinese stocks. Perhaps most tellingly of all, about 30 per cent of Hong Kong currency already circulates freely in southern China.
Hong Kong also operates as an important gateway for the transfer of capital between China and the rest of the world. More than half the entire flow of capital into China over the past 15 years has passed through Hong Kong. And it's a two-way street: more than half of all foreign investment into Hong Kong comes from China. The need for vast infrastructure projects throughout Asia will require capital investment worth US$1.5 trillion by 2001, much of which will be routed via Hong Kong. Asia is also well- placed to provide a refuge for Western investors who fear their own stock markets may soon be in for a downturn. Asian countries now trade extensively among themselves, with less industrialised countries in the region providing the manufacturing base for their more developed neighbours. This makes the region increasingly independent of economic upsets in the West. Sir Alan Donald, a former British ambassador to Beijing, says: "What used to be the state of affairs - the West caught a cold and the rest of the world sneezed - is no longer true.
"The centre of gravity in trade and economic terms is tending to move from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In a couple of years' time, the USA will be doing more trade with Asia than it is doing in Europe"n

SECTORAL REPORT | October, 2014
Globally, the Indian pharmaceutical industry is ranked third largest in volume terms and 10th largest in value terms. The sector is highly knowledge-based and its steady growth is positively affecting the Indian economy. The organised nature of the Indian pharmaceutical industry is attracting several companies that are finding it viable to increase their operations in the country.
The Indian pharmaceutical industry is highly fragmented with about 24,000 players (330 in the organised sector). The top ten companies make up for more than a third of the market.
Indian pharma companies have a large chunk of their revenues coming from exports. While some are focusing on the generics market in the US, Europe and semi-regulated markets, others are turning their attention to custom manufacturing for innovator companies. Biopharmaceuticals is also increasingly becoming an area of interest given the complexity in manufacture and limited competition.
India's drugs and pharmaceuticals industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14 per cent to reach a turnover of Rs 2.91 trillion (US$ 47.06 billion) by 2018.
The domestic drugs industry, which is valued at Rs 1.6 trillion (US$ 25.87 billion) at present, according to Care Ratings, is also expected to grow in the local market with aggressive rural penetration by drug makers, increased government spending on health, and growing health awareness among people.
India exports pharmaceutical products to more than 200 countries. Pharmaceutical exports are expected to cross the Rs 1 trillion (US$ 16.17 billion) mark this year. "The growth would be around 15 per cent and is driven by formulation exports," said Dr PV Appaji, Director-General, Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council (Pharmexcil). During 2013-14, pharma exports stood at Rs 90,000 crore (US$ 14.55 billion). Out of this, the share of formulations was 71 per cent.
India currently exports drug intermediates, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), Finished Dosage Formulations (FDFs), bio-pharmaceuticals, and clinical services across the globe.
The allowance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in India's pharma sector has been well received by foreign investors. According to data released by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), the drugs and pharmaceutical sector attracted FDI worth US$ 12,688.71 million between April 2000 and September 2014.
Some of the major investments in the Indian pharmaceutical sector are as follows:
The Government of India has unveiled 'Pharma Vision 2020' aimed at making India a global leader in end-to-end drug manufacture. It has reduced approval time for new facilities to boost investments. Further, the government has also put in place mechanisms such as the Drug Price Control Order and the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority to address the issue of affordability and availability of medicines.
Some of the major initiatives taken by the government to promote the pharmaceutical sector in India are as follows:
Indian generic drug makers are exploring all options to get a foot in the door to Japan's lucrative but difficult-to-crack US$ 111 billion drug industry. The penetration of generic drugs in Japan, the world's largest drug market after the US and Europe, is a little more than 30 per cent.
The domestic market will also see a significant growth in sales on the back of increasing affluence, changing lifestyles resulting in higher incidence of lifestyle-related diseases, increasing government expenditure on healthcare through schemes like the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS), National Programme for Healthcare of the Elderly (NPHCE), Rashtriya Arogya Nidhi (RAN) and Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) in the next three years, according to Care analysis.
The rise of pharmaceutical outsourcing and investments by multinational companies (MNCs), allied with the country's growing economy, committed health insurance segment and improved healthcare facilities, is expected to drive the market's growth.

Kelsey Kaemmerer, 19, of Great Bend, was taken to Great Bend Regional Hospital on Monday after the car she was driving went off NE 10 Ave. (North Frey St.).
The Shafer Art Gallery at Barton Community College officially reopened Sunday from a lengthy construction project, with a reception for its annual National Quilt Museum Exhibit. The program also featured area woodcarvers and roots music by Wayne and Arthetta Long.
The last decade has been one of non-stop growth for Barton Community College. From its offerings to enrollments, Barton has been progressive and adaptive. That trend shows to be continuing with the college's recent designation as an Occupational Safety and Health Administration Training Institute, which gives Barton the privilege and responsibility of providing OSHA training to businesses and organizations throughout the entire state of Kansas.
The very concept of prison, by its nature, tends to invoke some of the most negative responses – fear, despair, finality and even oppression. However, thanks to programs offered by Barton Community College, one of the least expected of human emotions shines through – hope.
October Marriage and Divorce Filings
A video on YouTube shows a crime scene tape across the front door of Great Bend's Grace Community Church, and its pastors, including the Rev. Jay Beuoy, being locked up in jail cells.
The Dominican Sisters of Peace in Great Bend will host their Annual Mission Bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 10, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Motherhouse, 3600 Broadway Ave. The aroma and magic of this festive autumn, pre-holiday excursion includes beverage and coffee cake in the morning, soup and pie for lunch, hundreds of handcrafted and homemade items, two drawings for prizes, unique gift theme baskets and a silent auction.
The next ASK seminar for senior citizens will shed new light on hospice programs in the area, said Donna Baugh, director of the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Central Kansas. The "Nuts and Bolts of Hospice" is set for 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 7, at the Great Bend Senior Center, 2005 Kansas Ave.
Volunteers have begun clearing away overgrown greenery and redesigning the garden leading up to the lion observation area at the Great Bend Brit Spaugh Zoo. Years ago, cane was planted to add a jungle appeal to the display, but over time, the invasive plant took over the other plantings, as well as the miniature pond and stream feature, covering the mural painted by Great Bend elementary students.
The Great Bend Middle School Bands will present their fall concert this Thursday, Nov. 1, in the gym at Great Bend Middle School. The 7th Grade Band will perform at 6:45 p.m. and the 8th Grade Band will perform at 8:15 p.m. The GBMS Jazz Ensemble will also play at both of these concerts. The concert is under the direction of Kurtis Koch, assisted by Mark DeWald.
After being closed several weeks for remodeling, Barton Community College's Shafer Art Gallery is ready to open its doors, and to display the 2012 traveling exhibit from the National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Ky.
There are still a few tickets left for the USD 428 Education Foundation dinner and auction set for Nov. 20 at the Highland Convention Center. The event will begin with a social hour at 6:30 p.m., followed by a buffet dinner served by Sue's Barbecue.
Next week, a job to repave a section of U.S. 281/K-18 in Russell County is scheduled to begin.
On Oct. 20, the Great Bend High School debate team traveled to Valley Center High School to compete with two varsity, one junior varsity and four novice teams against 30 other schools with 40 varsity, 39 junior varsity and 66 novice teams. In varsity division, Michael Gieck and Jordan Stoulil placed 8th with a 4-1 win loss record and 26 speaker points. "Open was a great experience I hope to do better next time" Stoulil stated.
This week's Chamber of Commerce Coffee will be hosted by Habitat for Humanity in Chamber Board Room, at 9:30 a.m., today. Host will be AJ Chrest with greeters Nancy Sundahl and Regan Ochs. Coffee, refreshments and door prizes will be available.
Ellinwood School/Community Library is sponsoring the first StoryWalk® during Ellinwood's Chamber's Christkindlmarket, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. StoryWalk® is a fun, educational activity that places a children's story outside to allow people of all ages to combine physical activity while reading a book. Conceived as a way to inspire parents, teachers, and caregivers to take young children outside for physical activity and to learn, StoryWalk® helps build children's interest in reading while encouraging healthy activity for both adults and children. The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier ...

Blue Cross going to court to block Bryant's order
Published: October 25,2013

JACKSON — Mississippi's largest health insurer is going to court with its fight against Gov. Phil Bryant and 10 Health Management Associates hospitals.
U.S. District Judge District Judge Henry Wingate is scheduled to hold a hearing today on Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi's lawsuit.
The insurer wants to block Bryant's executive order that would make it resume paying in-network rates at 10 hospitals owned by HMA, a company based in Naples, Fla.
If Blue Cross wins a temporary restraining order, it could ignore the governor's command.
Tuesday, Bryant ordered the hospitals returned to Blue Cross' network by Oct. 29. Bryant says that without the hospitals, Blue Cross would have an insufficient network under state law.
Blue Cross says Bryant's order violates federal constitutional guarantees of equal protection and contract protection.

If traditionalists are alarmed at Cricket Australia's new thrust on Twenty20, they'll need to get used to it. Swayed by public research findings, the board has decided to go all out to pursue new audiences

Carbon emissions are making news again in Australia, on the anniversary of Kevin Rudd's removal as prime minister by Julia Gillard. Away from Canberra, in a pursuit more leisure than legislature, Australian cricket is having its own climate-change debate.
State associations are dealing with the implications of Cricket Australia's August 2010 epiphany that the game may be terminally out of step with the cultural climate of an evolving nation. While the states' attitude might be summed up by an irritated rendition of "The Times They Are A Changin'", CA's hymn sheet has a finality closer in tone to "Things Have Changed", that more recent glimpse of Bob Dylan's apocalyptic vision.
Players, coaches and support staff across the country are expressing puzzlement, and in some cases anger, at fundamental changes to the game, generally in the opposite direction to the one they think the Test team needs to head in. Western Australia's coach, Mickey Arthur, has even said state budgets for next summer are essentially the inverse of what is required for Australia to return to No. 1 in the world. Head scratching has become as commonplace in winter as indoor net sessions.
As far as Cricket Australia is concerned, this is old news. Almost a year has passed since CA board members were shaken to their core by the presentation of figures, at the Australian cricket conference, that argued the youth of 2010 were almost entirely lost to the game. Seven out of 10 Australian children, they were told, had no interest in cricket. Without significant change, cricket was likely to slip to the outer fringes of Australian sport within a decade.
Figures, of course, are never completely above suspicion, as any cricketer assessed purely by his bald averages will attest. CA's research asked parents about the leisure priorities of their children, and the findings said cricket had slipped behind not just numerous sports but also behind such broad activities as walking, swimming, and watching television. These samples said international Twenty20 was the most popular form of the game, though CA and other boards are adamant they would prefer Twenty20 to be a club product. Then there is the fact that participation numbers for cricket in Australia have actually swelled steadily over the past decade, handily outstripping the rate of population growth.
Whatever the merits of the numbers, they caused the wheels of the antiquated CA governance engine to grind noisily into reverse, after years of comfort about cricket's place in the Australian psyche were confounded. The board emerged from the conference having resolved to expand the Big Bash League a year earlier than previously scheduled. No longer feeling sure of their long-held stocks, CA would stake their future on a gamble. Tradition was out, and Twenty20 was in.
Now the results of that change in course are being felt, as the rushed roll-out of the BBL and its eight manufactured teams impacts on player contracts, state association staffing, and the resources available to aid the Sheffield Shield and domestic limited-overs competitions. State teams, for example, have been told that they will only be permitted three support staff on interstate visits for domestic matches. Australian players are also feeling the squeeze, in the way of a strong CA desire for Test match performers to make themselves available for the narrowest of BBL windows between series against New Zealand and India.
What is clear beyond doubt is that where once Australian cricket existed to produce a successful Test team, now it is subjugating that aim beneath what is perceived as the more pressing task: maintaining the game's income and its place among the nation's pastimes. In the simplest terms, the spread of cricket via the BBL and the aggressive pursuit of greater junior participation through format changes and investment now sit above the results of the Test team, even as a broad review into its sinking performance is conducted.
James Sutherland, the Cricket Australia chief executive, provided an indication of what was to come in his speech to Melbourne Cricket Club members on December 10 last year. The dinner took place in between the second and third Ashes Tests, and the thrust of Sutherland's words was lost amid the frenzy around Australia's abject defeat in Adelaide. However they demonstrated a significant shift in focus, directed at perhaps the most conservative cricket audience in existence outside of Lord's. One can imagine a few eyebrows being raised when he stated that the Ashes were not the most critical part of the summer.
"Cricket Australia is convinced that our main contribution to Australian cricket will not be about this summer's Ashes campaign - very important as that is. Cricket used to be able to take for granted its place as a natural part of the Australian way of life. It is no longer a simple matter of assuming that Australian kids will wake up on Christmas Day to a cricket bat under the tree and be fans for life.
As administrators, my colleagues and I will be judged by whether or not Australia's kids of today become cricket fans of tomorrow. We have to earn our relationship with young Australians of all backgrounds and cultures by showing them that cricket is a choice they should make, rather than something they adopt simply because it's there.
We often say, at Cricket Australia, that we need to work to ensure cricket is a game for all Australians, for males and females, for young and for old, for city and for country, and for fans of Test, of ODI and of Twenty20 cricket."
Test cricket, Sutherland concluded in his toast to the game, was but one of three "fabulous" formats.
|What is clear beyond doubt is that where once Australian cricket existed to produce a successful Test team, now it is subjugating that aim beneath what is perceived as the more pressing task: maintaining the game's income and its place among the nation's pastimes
Twenty20 is viewed as the key to growth among future generations, but also among women, a corner of the market that cricket has never wooed completely. Much of CA's logic of the moment is drawn from weighing the game against other sports, particularly the youth and female following enjoyed by Australian Rules football. While the AFL as a league does not yet enjoy the nationwide recognition in winter that cricket has in summer, it is growing at a rapid rate, helped by domestic television rights deals that make a pittance of anything negotiated for cricket.
No one feels this more keenly than CA's management axis. Sutherland; the head of cricket operations, Michael Brown; and the head of marketing and BBL project owner, Mike McKenna are all former football administrators, with mixed records. Their attitudes have been greatly influenced by envy of what they see springing up at AFL House, which might colloquially be described as money growing on trees. That envy has fuelled what one state official termed "paranoia" about the creeping of the AFL into cricket's territory, in seasonal, financial and publicity senses.
That leads to the fiscal imperative. The BBL is designed to provide a reliable income stream for an organisation that over the past decade has become hugely reliant on Indian television rights money. While India can be seen as a bottomless well of funds, thanks to its vast size and apparently insatiable appetite for cricket, no other country has anything like the same security. The sale of broadcast rights to England for the next home Ashes series is expected to be far less lucrative than the current deal, which was swelled by the 2005 Ashes epic - "cricket is the new football" went one UK catch cry - and the entry of new competitors into the pay television market. Paradoxically, a strong Australian dollar does not help cricket in a country where the sport is bankrolled by funds from overseas. More local revenue is needed.
Beyond the numbers, the BBL is an optimistic stab at appropriating club culture for cricket in Australia. To that end, each side will market the availability of membership packages in the vein of football teams. The eight new teams are of precious little interest or worth to those who follow the game, but they are being designed for those who previously would not have gone near cricket. The abandonment of familiar colours is about forging fresh identities for new followers of the game who may have no great attraction to the national side.
It is a fact that some immigrants to Australia who do go to watch international cricket invariably find themselves barracking against the home side, and thus cannot be expected to encourage their offspring to enter the game with the ultimate intention of playing for the team of Bradman, Border and Ponting. So it is that the competition will dovetail with a new emphasis on Twenty20 and similar variations as a junior format, allowing parents to introduce children to a game that sits more neatly within the 2.5-hour timeframe of most other sports, and that offers an alternative pathway to success.
Broadening the audience is a priority for any sport. But the contention that the cricket audience in Australia is shrinking has brought about a most fundamental change in how to approach that priority. If traditionalists feel left out of the new regime, they had better get used to it - change will be the only constant for quite some time. The vast gamble CA is taking is to presume that its core of support will not be turned away by the headlong pursuit of something new. As Dylan put it in "Things Have Changed": "I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can. Some things are too hot to touch, the human mind can only stand so much… you can't win with a losing hand."

Work on the first leg of a Manawatu Riverside walking and cycling track is expected to begin this summer, at the Ashhurst end of the project.
Negotiations between the Palmerston North City Council and three landowners are progressing, and transportation planner Sandi Morris hopes an access path will be cleared this month.
The neighbouring properties will be fenced off before the track construction begins in earnest, creating a link to the end of Raukawa Rd.
And further downstream, the council has made a strategic purchase of a 7800 square metre Te Matai Rd property that will provide a key link as the track is extended toward the city.
The property not only provides a 270-metre strip along the water's edge, but also an access point to the road, which will give people who do not want to walk or cycle the whole distance another entry and exit point.
Road planning team leader David Lane said the property would be a "staging point" on the future track.
"It will be an important link from the road to encourage recreational users."
Mr Lane said the council had already identified the property as a key one for the track development, and took the opportunity to buy it after it came onto the market last year.
The council had to negotiate with many more landowners with before the track could be built, he said.
It was unlikely to buy many other properties outright, and would consider either buying a narrow strip along the river, or negotiate easements that gave right of public access.
The exercise was complicated as not all of the boundaries ended in the same place, with some properties stretching right across the river.
Work at the Ashhurst Bridge access to the track will start within weeks. The first step would be to clear some vegetation.
Ms Morris said after the fencing contractors had been in, construction of the track would proceed quickly.
"We think it should only take six to eight weeks, maximum.
"Building the track is the easy bit. It's the negotiations and organising that take time."
A fine autumn with not too much rain would enable work to continue until the end of May, if necessary.

Timberlake called in to Ryan Seacrest's radio show last week to talk about the story behindthe album's title. "It more or less came out of I was playing some of the stuff for my Friends and they would come in and out of the studio and I'd say, 'What do you think of this?' And my best friend said, 'This is music that you can see,' and for some reason that stuck with me," said the 31-year-old artist.
The track list for Justin Timberlake's album tracklisting for The 20/20 Experience is as follows:
1. Pusher Love Girl
2. Suit & Tie (feat. Jay-Z)

L.A. Noire's most perplexing mystery is how the detective game got made without any of its developers sizing each other up for concrete shoes. Late last month, a story in IGN Australia painted a pretty miserable picture of the working conditions at developer Team Bondi. Now, original author Andrew McMillen has returned to GamesIndustry.biz to reveal some of his whistle-blowing emails.
In the story, we see a fracture begin to form in the developer's relationship with publisher Rockstar when the latter pulled out of E3 in 2010. We read why some environments in L.A. Noire seemed lifeless, and about developers scared to quit before the production wrapped, for fear that they wouldn't received accrued overtime pay.
We're familiar enough with crunch time in the industry, but this sounds like a particularly egregious case. We know we should be able to separate art from its artist but, frankly, stories like this make us appreciate the end product just a little bit less.

Glossy Box December 2012
December Glossy Box 2012 – the December box is always a good one! Well, based on last year… so I had high hopes for this years! It arrived in a glossy silver box with star print paper and here's a peek at the contents…
In typical fashion (this always seems to be the case) I am most impressed by the Sleek Lipstick (love the colour) and the Seche Vite Nail Colour – soo impressed by this. Pigmentation and application is amazing!
The Milk Shake leave in conditioner mousse is interesting, but I have a bit of mixed luck with leave in conditioners – they tend to make my hair flat – but hoping the mousse formula might avoid that fate.
The little extra of the Glossy box blusher is nice – the colour is pretty and reminds me of a dusky version of MAC's Well Dressed (which reminds me, I need to dig that one out). The fragrance sample is a bit 'meh', but overall – great box!
I haven't seen what goodies others have received yet this month, so can't compare to see if this was a 'good' or 'bad' collection of products. All I can say is that I'm happy, love the nail and lip colours!
What do you think of December's Glossy Box?

Is that Magnifique by Seche? Gorgeous colour. Does it dry fast and apply well?

I got mine the other day and I'm really happy with it. I got the mousse, the nail polish and the blusher, but the rest of my products differed to yours. I got Rituals whipped body cream, Anatomicals lip gloss and a Sleek Make-up eyeshadow palette, which is my favourite item of the box
