The politics of Chinese trade and the Asian financial crises : questioning the wisdom of export-led growth
Breslin, Shaun. (1999) The politics of Chinese trade and the Asian financial crises : questioning the wisdom of export-led growth. Third World Quarterly, Vol.20 (No.6). pp. 1179-1199. ISSN 0143-6597

Between 1987 and 1996 Chinese exports increased by an average of 14% each year. During this decade, export growth became a crucial determinant of overall economic growth. However, as a consequence of the East Asian financial crises, Chinese export growth slowed, threatening the successful implementation of plans to restructure the domestic Chinese economy. This paper traces the reasons for the rapid growth and subsequent slowing of Chinese exports, and asks whether the strategy provides a solid basis for the long term development of the Chinese economy. In particular, the paper focuses on the role and significance of the processing trade in boosting Chinese exports. The high proportion of imported components in processed exports questions whether China is really benefiting as much from export growth as aggregate trade figures seem to suggest.

Tuscany, Italy is the place that movies are filmed and fantasies run wild. Perhaps it is the cities of Florence, Pisa, or Livorno that invoke feelings of culture and art, or arouse the senses to the smells and taste of the Chianti region. The fact is that Tuscany is home to some of the most famous tourist destinations in Italy. It is here that budding artists come to learn from the masters. It is here that the world of fashion takes it cues. And it is in Tuscany that romantics rekindle the flame and celebrate their love.
The Cities of Tuscany
Florence is perhaps one of the most famous cities in the region. The Uffizi museum after all is home to such masterpieces as "The Birth of Venus" Originally built to house the Tuscan administrative offices, the top floor now houses masterpieces by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Caravaggio. Each visitor to Florence must also stop in and gaze at Michelangelo's "David" on display at the oldest art academy, the Galleria dellâ'Accademia. The Ponte Vecchio is a landmark that literally translated means â"old bridge" It was built in the 1300s and has withstood floods and wars in order to continue to hawk some of the world's most wonderful 18 and 24k gold products and leather goods.
Chianti is known for its wines which are famous around the world. Tourists that tour Tuscany can enjoy the world's finest wines while enjoying the picturesque countryside.
Siena, also located in the Chianti region houses a gothic cathedral and paintings by medieval masters, Duccio and Simone Martini. The Renaissance and Etruscan history are evident in each landmark of the region.
Pisa is best known for the Leaning Tower whose construction began in the 12th century, but starting sinking into the ground after only 3 stories were completed. It stood this way for 90 years and was finally completed by the son of Andreo Pisano, Tommano Simone and Giovanni de Simone almost 200 years after it was started.
Hillsides and Waysides
Part of the beauty and mystique of Tuscany is its countryside. The rolling hills that slope down to the coast are dotted with vineyards and villas. There are working farms and vacation villas suitable for the most adventurous tourists or those who demand first class accommodations. Tours of Tuscany allow tourists to explore each tiny village at their own pace and on their own schedule.
The Heart of Commerce
Emerging as a real business center, Tuscany is home to thriving businesses in the furniture, leather, fashion, and manufacturing industries. These businesses keep the region in the 21st century while the people and culture keep one foot in the past.
If romance, tradition and culture are your idea of an ideal vacation, then Tuscany is for you. On the other hand if shopping and the fast pace of a thriving city are your style then you will also find it in this region of Italy.
Let us help you plan your dream tour of Tuscany Italy!

Debra, I'm trying to work with the spreadsheet numbers to see if I can create an admix. I am working on a couple of methodologies. Is it possible that your admix is? Europe 55%
-or- Europe 43%
-or- Europe 30%
What feels right based on oral history and some of the recent information you have received?

Social Question
Did the Congress deserve their raise in salary?
Asked by josie (23941
December 31st, 2012
The President just gave himself, federal workers, Joe Biden, and the members of Congress a pay raise.
By executive order.
The Congress created the so called fiscal cliff with an enthusiastic bipartisan vote. It is being regarded as a serious problem if and when goes into effect (tomorrow). It is New Year's eve, they have had well over a year to work on this and they refused and continue to refuse to fix it. I guess, since they know everybody's taxes are going to go up tomorrow, they figure they might as well get busy spending this new found money while they have the chance.
My cynicism aside, since the raise is clearly is NOT for a job well done, how is it justified?

ANTAKYA, Turkey Turkey raised publicly for the first time on Wednesday the idea of stationing Patriot missile batteries along its southern border with Syria. The move would effectively create a no-fly zone that could help safeguard refugees and give rebel fighters a portion of Syrian territory without fear of crippling airstrikes by Syrian forces.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu reportedly indicated that Turkey, a member of NATO, planned to request the missiles from the alliance to provide a defensive shield from incoming shells from Syria. But the Turkish daily newspaper Milliyet reported that Turkey had agreed with the U.S. on a plan to use the missiles in an offensive capacity to create safe zones inside Syria.
In the weeks before the U.S. election, a plan for limited no-fly zones in Syria had circulated in Washington policy circles and won advocates in the State Department, a person briefed on the matter said. According to this plan, safe zones would be enforced by Patriot batteries under NATO authority and positioned in Turkey and Jordan.
At a briefing in Washington, the State Department's spokeswoman, Victoria Nuland, said the request for missiles was unrelated to safe zones.
In Syria on Wednesday, insurgents escalated attacks on targets within earshot of President Bashar Assad's hilltop Damascus palace, killing a prominent judge with a car bomb and lobbing mortar shells at a neighborhood that houses central government offices and a military airfield.
The assassination of the judge, reported by the official news agency, SANA, was the second high-profile killing of a top Assad loyalist in the Syrian capital in two days and added to the impression of an intensifying insurgency in the 20-month-old conflict.
The plan for safe zones would deter bombers from flying over areas that in the north would stretch from the Turkish border town of Kilis into Syria south of Aleppo, Syria's largest city.
In the south, missile batteries in Jordan would cover areas around the Syrian city of Daraa.
Andrew J. Tabler, a Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the effort could give the Syrian rebels their "Benghazi pocket," a reference to the area of eastern Libya that was a base for rebels in the Libya uprising.
Also Wednesday, the divided and ineffective Syrian opposition gathered in Doha, Qatar, in an attempt to unify and coordinate with the rebels who fight under the banner of the Free Syrian Army.
Those talks came after Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton recently criticized the Syrian National Council, currently the main opposition group, as out-of-touch exiles who needed to absorb more representatives from Syria.

DALLAS -- Energy and emotion were the underlying themes of the 20-minute closed-door meeting Dallas Stars coach Lindy Ruff called Tuesday morning. He got exactly what he was looking for a few hours later in a resounding 4-0 win against the Minnesota Wild at American Airlines Center.
"We wanted to come out with a lot of energy and leave it on the ice," captain Jamie Benn said. "We really had nothing to lose. I thought we played a great team game tonight."
Dallas, which won the opener of a three-game homestand, got goals from Vernon Fiddler and Erik Cole in the first period, Ray Whitney in the second and Jordie Benn on a penalty shot in the third. Alex Goligoski contributed two assists and Kari Lehtonen made 18 saves to earn his second shutout of the season and 24th of his career.
"He made key saves tonight," Ruff said of Lehtonen. "The second period was a key save, I thought. Halfway through, they had only seven or eight shots. Sometimes that's tough on a goaltender."
It was a measure of revenge for a 3-2 overtime win at home by the Wild (27-20-5) on Saturday.
"When you're losing, the dressing room's not great," Jordie Benn said. "We came in today and had good spirits, and we did pretty good tonight."
The Stars entered Tuesday with a 1-8-1 record in January.
"We didn't make the big individual mistakes, which was a big deal. Tonight I can point to maybe one or two plays that weren't good," Ruff said. "We turned it over once in the first period, but we got it back. The individual mistakes were missing tonight."
Fiddler's wrister from the high slot at 13:18 of the first period gave the Stars an early lead. It was Fiddler's first goal in 28 games, since a penalty-shot goal Nov. 5, 2013, against the Boston Bruins, and came on a shot that sailed over the glove of Wild goaltender Darcy Kuemper.
"It's been a little bit of a tough year offensively. At the end of the day I am not paid to score goals, I am paid to play defense and anytime you can score goals it is obviously nice," Fiddler said. "It helps out your team and takes relief off your top guys. I think as we go on here down the stretch, our roles have to help out with scoring some goals."
Dallas (22-20-8) doubled its lead at 16:45 when Cole beat Kuemper on the glove side with a blistering shot from almost dead-center in the left circle for a power-play goal.
Goligoski was credited with his second assist of the night on the goal. Dallas went on the power play after Minnesota's Justin Fontaine was called for delay of game at 15:53.
The Stars outshot the Wild 12-3 in the first period.
"We won the opening faceoff and we spent 40 seconds in our own zone. That's a bad sign right there that we weren't ready to execute and to get going the right way," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "It just trickled on from there."
Whitney scored his sixth of the season and the Stars' second of the game on the power play at 13:18 of the second. After some impressive stickhandling that drew Kuemper away from the net, Whitney slipped the puck over the goal line from the left side of the net despite Wild defenseman Nate Prosser's attempt to clear the puck.
Dallas was on the power play after Fontaine was whistled for high sticking at 11:20.
Through two periods, the Stars outshot the Wild 28-9. For the game, Dallas outshot Minnesota 36-18.
"We can't keep getting doubled up on shots and expect to have good results," Wild center Kyle Brodziak said. "We need to better every single area of the game-coming out of the zone, getting pucks in their zone, keeping pucks in their zone. PK's got to be better. PP's got to be better. We've got to be better in every single area."
Benn's goal, his second of the season, came at 11:22 of the third when he beat Kuemper on a penalty shot after Kuemper slid his stick at Benn to impede him on a breakaway.
"Probably my second or third year in the minors. I did that exact move, and it worked," Benn said when asked about his last penalty-shot goal. "That's the only move I have, the only one I've ever tried, and it worked again."
The Wild's best chance to break the shutout came midway through the third period when a wrister from Jason Zucker rang off the left post.
"They were better than we were all around," Minnesota forward Jason Pominville said. "We were undisciplined. Their power play was good. Ours wasn't that good. They brought more energy, kind of frustrated us a little bit in not giving us time and space. We weren't able to generate enough quality scoring chances to win a game."
Kuemper stopped 32 shots for Minnesota.
Each team returns to the ice on Thursday, when the Wild host the Chicago Blackhawks and Dallas hosts the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"We're going to put this one in the garbage," Yeo said, "and we're going to get refocused for the next one."

Dillon Gee will be discharged today after being hospitalized for finger numbness that stemmed from a blood clot in his shoulder, but according to a statement released by the Mets he may still require surgery.
Dillon was scheduled to start the second-half opener Friday, but instead he's been placed on the disabled list and is out indefinitely.
Doctors used a catheter to break up the blood clot, but Gee may need further procedures to avoid a re-occurrence or additional complications.

And now starts the second half collapse. David Wright will fold once again from the pressure.

real intelligent comment come out of the basement and get some fresh air
- ezthinking - Jul 11, 2012 at 4:36 PM
When does Wright fold again?
Post-All Star performance during the two collapse years:
2007 .364/.465/.596 1.061
2008 .330/.406/.582 .988
You must mean something else.

I do hope there is no rush to bring Harvey up. I would rather live with Batista, trade for bullpen parts, and let Harvey develop at his own pace. And if that means we don't make the playoffs, so be it.
Still, this is depressing.
- oltanya - Jul 11, 2012 at 5:47 PM
We're half a game back from the Wild Card race, it is completely ridiculous to think that we need to remain conservative and expect the worst. Starting Batista for any length of time is a horrible idea.
I don't think we should gut the farm for rentals, but Harvey's doing everything he can to show that he's ready.

Interactive Qualifying Project
The Most Distinctive—and Personally Rewarding—Element of the WPI Plan
WPI believes that in order to become the best engineers and scientists they can be, students should have a broad understanding of the cultural and social contexts of those fields, and thus be more effective and socially responsible practitioners and citizens.
That's the intent of the Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP), a nine-credit-hour interdisciplinary requirement involving applied research that connects science or technology with social issues and human needs.
The IQP is not organized as a course, nor is it related to the major. Instead, small teams of students work under the guidance of faculty members from all disciplines to conduct research, using social science methods, directed at a specific problem or need. Students deliver findings and recommendations through formal reports and oral presentations to project sponsors (often nonprofit, municipal, or government agencies) and faculty advisors.
Sustainability serves as a common theme for IQPs, many of which address problems related to energy, environment, sustainable development, education, cultural preservation, and technology policy. About half of all IQPs are completed off-campus through the Global Projects Program (GPP).
Creating a Mentorship Program for Orphans in Morocco
A WPI student IQP project team is helping orphans in Morocco by developing a sustainable mentoring program that brings in students from a local university to serve as positive role models and teach children social and academic skills.

Iqbal, Saqib and Allen, Gary (2009) On identifying and representing aspects. In: SERP'09 - The 2009 International Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice, July 13-16, Las Vegas.
| PDF - Accepted Version Download (111kB) | Preview |
Identification of cross-cutting concerns (Aspects)
in the earliest phases of software development has gained in popularity over recent years. Many approaches have been suggested for identifying and representing Aspects in abstraction and design structures. Since these approaches are still relatively immature, shortcomings such as overlooking or not properly locating Aspects have been noted in almost all of these approaches. This paper discusses some of these methods and suggested approaches, and provides a constructive
critique on Aspects as Use Cases, View-Point based system of identifying Aspects, and Use Cases as Concerns. This paper also suggests a model-oriented approach for identifying and representing Aspects throughout the development life cycle.

Opinions wanted
I wasnt sure where to post this so I just put it in here. There is the eternal argument on any board whether you have to be strong to look strong. There is a school of thought that says you dont need to be concerned with strength in order to to achieve significant gains in muscle mass. The other side thinks the exact opposite. That weight matters. Lets assume that weight doesnt matter. You absolutely can gain 50 pounds of muscle by lifting 135 for a million reps. You can look like Dorian Yates and be as weak as a High School freshman. If thats is true, why would you want that?
Why would someone admire or aspire to look like they are something without actually being that thing? What would you call someone that had an expensive car,clothes, house, etc but he is up to his ass in debt? You would call him a fool and a fraud. He wants to appear to be successful without being it. Would any sane person aspire to be a fraud? So why would you want to look like you were strong when in fact you arent? Why is appearing to be capable of something more important than than actually being able to do it? Why do we seem to value that? I am curious on everyones opinion on this. I would train heavy even if I could be 250 pounds of muscle doing Pilates but there are different opinions. Last edited by miked96; 01-16-2013 at 05:25 PM. |

Hey guys! I rarely make journal entries (because I have nothing interesting to write about lol) but I'd thought I make one now since I haven't made one in a reaaaallly long time.
I'm currently in my last year of university and am quite busy with a lot of things such as my part time job, classes, applying to grad school or full time work for post-graduation, debating whether to go to Japan afterwards or wait a bit, etc. SO YEAH...a lot of stuff. I really like my classes this semester; I'm taking a guitar class (and learning a lot ), an official art class (le gasp), a digital foundations of sound class (learning how to record and edit audio), upper division Chinese (it's killing me) and a writing class for my honors program.
This wouldn't be so bad if I also wasn't working part time though ;u; Of course, I like my job. I'm able to do some hw while working at the university library circulation desk and/or read so it's not all bad. I'm just pretty tired every day....
Anyways, I do have some art to post from my art class. I'll upload them when I make time...XD.
I'm also taking part in the Inktober challenge this month but I probably won't upload my works onto here. Instead I'll upload them to my Twitter and Instagram. So if y'all still want to see some of my art, feel free to follow me @whitewolfgirl7 (twitter) and my instagram is: whitewolfgirl.
That's all! :3

- Wooden clothespins

- Small magnets

Step 1
Remove the springs from wooden clothespins, and lightly sand wood with sandpaper. Coat with acrylic paint; let dry.
Step 2
Reattach springs, and affix a small magnet to 1 side of each pin with multipurpose cement.

I have to agree with Nancy....just paint around the spring!
scolenski 5 Sep, 2008
Hi Jacky B--
I always have to use a tool like a screwdriver to pry the arm of the spring up and force the wood back under it. -
NancyMcManus 5 Sep, 2008
I wouldn't take the spring off; just paint around it. I know I could never put it back together! I love the idea of labeling them. (I have found that labeling is the ONLY way things have a chance of getting put back in the right place.)
JackyB 17 Jul, 2008
ok - i can get the spring off - how do you get it back on?
erikwithak 15 Jul, 2008
These ARE cute! You could stamp the days of the week on them, or people's initials, or messages like PAID, DUE, TO DO, DONE--the mind boggles! I too shall rush out and get the supplies! (I will most definately paint mine, though. Think of all of the great colours you could have!)
DaniD76 19 Apr, 2008
You can also add tiny details to the clips. I painted flowwers and squiggly lines on mine. I gave them as gifts for my sister's birthday as well as a couple of friends. I am helping to plan my friends wedding and am thinking this might be a good idea for shower favors!
Donna89 16 Apr, 2008
I also use the plain pinch clothespins - unpainted to use as closers for chip bags, candy bags,french fry bags,etc. It is easy cheap and they don't break . For this project I would use the plastic colored pins. No painting,sanding, and are light weight.
nanaivy 16 Apr, 2008
This sounds like an awesome project for Mother's day for my daughter's students and my grandchildren. Can't wait to get to the store for pins and magnets.

Just in time for Sunday's Season 4 premiere, Banana Republic is debuting their second set of Mad Men-inspired style guides, making it a piece of cake to channel your inner Joan or Betty (and help your boyfriend look as dapper as Don Draper). The guides, in stores today through August 11th, feature Banana Republic looks that can take you from the office to dinner and back again, all with that covetable '60s twist. "Banana Republic is known for its versatile fashions, with modern takes on the 1960s icons like the pencil skirt, cardigan and suit," Jack Calhoun, president of Banana Republic, said. In addition, Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant and Banana Republic Creative Director Simon Kneen will bring the guides to life on video blogs that you can watch on their Facebook page.

Nowadays most high definition content is in MKV format. However a lot of devices don't support this container. Instead they support the MP4 format. In this guide I will show you how to convert your MKV video files to MP4 and hardcode subtitles. For this guide I will use VidCoder. VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding freeware application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Therefore apart from MKV you can convert any AVI/DVD/Blu-ray files into MKV or MP4. Download VidCoder and let's get started with the tutorial.
General Video
Searching for the correct and synchronized movie/video subtitles is always a boring thing to do. However if you are using VLC you can use VLSub. VLSub is an extension which allows you to search and download from opensubtitles.org using the hash of the video currently playing or his IMDB title. The extension should work with VLC 1.1.0+ and the new VLC 2.0 on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. I have tested it under Linux.
In this guide I will show you how to split large MKV files into smaller ones with a specified file size. Matroska is a video container that can hold an unlimited number of audio, video and subtitles in a single file. It is commonly used to store large H.264 videos and movies in .mkv files. Why would you want to split such a file to smaller ones? Maybe because you want to copy it on 4.7GB DVD or on a FAT32 partition. For one reason or the other we are going to use MKVToolnix. Download MKVToolnix, install it and let's begin with our tutorial.
In previous tutorials I have described How to add subtitles to .mkv files using MKVToolnix, How to hardcode subtitles to AVI files using AVI ReComp and How to embed/hardcode subtitles in your videos using VirtualDub. This time I will describe how to add subtitles to AVI files using AviAddXSubs. The differences with the previous guides is that the output video file is to be played only on the PS3 and DIVX DVD players, the subtitles are switchable and no reencoding is needed! So, download AviAddXSubs, extract it, run the application and let's get started!

National Microchip Month - It's so easy to lose track of a pet - when our cat was a kitten she ran off on a summers day - we found her a few days later thankfully!
We were lucky. But a microchip would make finding your pet much easier- which is why we have this important awareness month! And did you know that by 2016 it will be compulsory for all dogs to be microchipped and you will have to ensure that your contact details are kept up to date!
It's quick and pain-free for your pet and just means that if he or she goes missing the RSPCA (Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) should be able to get him back to you asap!
The chip is put under the skin and contains whatever contact info you want to put on it - so that when an RSPCA inspector uses their special scanner all your details come up!
All it means is that if your pet goes missing you can easily find them again. When a soaking wet cat called Tommy was brought to the RSPCA he was scanned and immediately reunited with his very thankful owners!
So this June if you would like to donate or hold a fundraising event it will be much appreciated.
All of the money raised goes towards helping animals and creating brilliant inventions like these. For more information, go to the National Microchip Month website.
Home › June › National Microchip MonthFREE - If you would like an AWARENESS DAYS ALERT then fill in below, we will send it monthly.
