2 Introduction For most of the 19 th and 20 th centuries, industrialized and rich were synonymous. No surprise then that development economists have long theorised about industrialization and the role of trade in fostering it. Recent work by Rodrik (2011a, b) focuses the development spotlight even more tightly on manufacturing. Lindauer and Prichett (2002) distinguish three generations of development/industrialization theories or Big Ideas as they call them. The first Big Idea (1945 to 1982) was that governments should drive industrialization; dirigiste policies are needed to get past coordination failures created by the lumpiness of industry. Trade was necessary for importing key inputs but relying on export markets was questionable. Export pessimism ruled the day. The widespread failure of import-substitution industrialization or ISI to cognoscenti was brought home by the 1980s debt crises. The second-generation Big Idea the Washington Consensus ( ) pursued the same goal (creating lumpy industry) with different tactics. Governments still mattered but market forces were also critical and exports were central to achieving scale. Import-competition was critical to ensuring market discipline. By 2002, the second-generation Big Idea was past its sell-by-date, according to Lindauer and Prichett. Many developing nations had followed its precepts only to see slowing or negative growth. The good news, which Lindauer and Prichett call puzzling, was the roaring success of Asia, especially China. To explain this, Paul Krugman called for a counter-counter-revolution in high development theory (Krugman 1992). The world is still waiting. As Dani Rodrik wrote: Maybe the right approach is to give up looking for big ideas altogether, (Rodrik 2005); there is one economics, but many ways to apply it (Rodrik 2008).
3 308 However, as Lindauer and Prichett pointed out: The current nostrum of one size doesn t fit all is not itself a big idea, but a way of expressing the absence of any big ideas." This paper does not propose a new Big Idea. Rather it argues that the quest for one may have failed because high development theory overlooked the radical change in globalization that occurred from the mid-1980s. 1.1.Globalization s transformation High development theorists are making the common mistake of viewing globalization as driven by the gradual lowering of natural and man-made trade costs. This is a serious misunderstanding. Globalization has been driven by advances in two very different connective technologies: transportation and transmission. 1 From the steam revolution till the mid or late 1980s, globalization was mostly about falling trade costs; this was globalisation s 1 st unbundling. Since 1980, trade costs changed little but the ICT revolution radically lowered transmission costs; this was globalisation s 2 nd unbundling. The difference in outcomes is startling. Figure 1 shows that up to the late 1980s, globalization was associated with rising G7 shares of world income (left panel). 2 The radical reversal since 1988 suggests that globalization is no longer working as it was when the Big Ideas were formulated. An equally stark turnaround was seen in the G7 s world trade share (middle panel). These G7 facts reflect a reversal of fortunes rather than some structural break in global trends (right panel). 3 Insert Figure 1 about here Figure 2 (left panel) shows that global manufacturing was also transformed. Until the mid-1980s, industrialized nations meant high-wage nations. Since then, some low-wage
4 309 nations are industrializing faster than high-wage nations. 4 But the share-winners are few. Just seven have gained more than one percentage point of world manufacturing GDP since China, Korea, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey, and Poland. All of the G7 are share-losers over this period. 5 Apart from India, all of their manufacturing sectors are heavily involved in the international supply chains of Japan (the East Asians) or Germany (Poland and Turkey). Insert Figure 2 about here The right panel of Figure 2 suggests that the standard culprit in globalization stories changes in trade costs is unlikely to be guilty for the reversals. Estimated trade costs which encompass trade barriers and transport cost plummeted from 1870 to They rose till the 1940s and plummeted again up to Since then they have stabilised. These figures make the prima facia case that globalization has changed. Baldwin (2006) argues that globalization driven by lower ICT costs is fundamentally different than globalization driven by lower trade costs. In the 1 st unbundling (pre 1980s), international competition occurred mainly at the level of sectors (say Japanese versus Thai cars). In the 2 nd unbundling (post-1985), international competition occurs at a finer degree of resolution the level of production stages (Thai cars may contain Japanese components and vice versa). But has the changed nature of globalization impacted developing nations trade and industrialization outcomes? Figure 3 shows that something seems to have changed here as well. The left panel of Figure 3 looks at the shares of manufactures in developing nations exports focusing on non-tiny nations, i.e. those with populations at least as large as a big city like Paris. 6 The bars (one per nation) show the decadal changes in the nations share of exports in manufacturing (in percentage points). Here the 1985 to 1995 period stands out as extraordinarily positive even more so than the initial push that came during the decolonisation period (1965-
5 ). The changes in manufactured export shares both before and since have been modest by contrast. Insert Figure 3 about here The right panel focuses on the big share-winners namely nations that had manufactured export shares below 50% in 1970 but above 50% in 2007 (the last year before the Great Trade Collapse). 7 The 1980s to mid-1990s period was a time of take-offs for most of these. Another clue comes from the geography of shifting export compositions. If we again look at nations that are not tiny and rely on manufactured exports (manufactures accounting for more than 50% of exports in ) then a very clear pattern emerges. Some of these nations saw their manufacturing export shares rise and others saw them fall during globalisation s 2 nd unbundling. The winners and losers, however, are remarkably clustered geographically around the nations that dominated world manufacturing until the second unbundling the US, Japan and Germany. There seems to be one group of low-wage share-winners and high-wage share-losers around Germany, another around the US, and a third around Japan. India may also be at the centre of a cluster of winners (Figure 4). Insert Figures 4 and 5 about here The final bit of prima facie evidence comes from the link between income levels and participation in supply-chain trade. Lopez-Gonzales and Holmes (2011) shows empirically that the pattern of sourcing (importing) from international supply chains are quite different than selling intermediates (exporting) to them. The sourcing share rises up to about $25,000 and then declines (Figure 5, left panel). Selling intermediates falls for low income levels but rises beyond a point near $15,000 (right panel). Combining the two measures, a nation s total involvement in supply-chain is tilde shaped.
6 311 While this research is very recent and need further testing, the top-line message is very intuitive. When a nation like China moved up from making clothing to assembling electronics and machinery, the import content of its exports rises, but at the other extreme, a nation like Finland has all but exited from the fabrication end of manufacturing, so domestic value added content of its exports tends to be higher. These charts paint a picture of two transformations: one in globalization itself, and one in developing nations experiences with industrial exports. The next task is to suggest how the two might be connected Building versus joining a supply chain When ISI policies worked as they did for the US, Germany, Japan, etc. (Clemens and Williamson 2004) industrialization meant building the whole supply chain at home. This took decades due to learning-by-doing in creating and coordinating the vast array of necessary competencies. Given the simple communication technology available at the time, extreme proximity was essential to coordinating sophisticated manufacturing processes. All the stages of production had to be inside a single factory or industrial district. Most of the necessary competencies had to exist domestically; no nation could be competitive without building a broad and deep industrial base a hurdle that precious few nations could surmount. The radical change in globalization globalization s 2 nd unbundling upended this touchstone fact. The ICT revolution made it feasible to spatially separate some stages of production without much loss in efficiency or timeliness. Once feasible, scale economies and comparative advantage made separation inevitable especially unskilled labour-intensive stages given the vast international wage differences. In 1985, for example, Japanese wages were 40
7 312 times higher than Chinese wages even though Shanghai was close to Japan s automobile hub just a few days by sea and a few hours by air. The top-line implications for trade and industrialization are threefold. First, with globalization operating at the level of production stages rather than at the level of sectors, industrialization became less lumpy and thus easier. Nations could industrialize by joining a supply chain. Second, as firms with advanced manufacturing know-how offshored some stages, they moved their know-how along with the production. Managerial and technical know-how became more internationally mobile. After all, the off-shored stages of production had to mesh seamlessly and evolve in tandem with the rest of the production network. This technology lending which is very different from the 1970s technology transfer could create advanced manufacturing activity in a developing nation in a matter of months. Developing nations no longer had to follow Korea s decade-long slog up the value chain (a feat that dozens of developing nations tried and failed before the 2 nd unbundling). Third, distance matters more in supply chains (Gamberoni et al 2010). Even with today s ICT, coordinating a production network involves some face-to-face and face-to-machine interactions. Technicians and managers must travel from the advancetechnology headquarter nations to the developing host nation. And this must be quick; if something goes wrong, the whole production network may suffer until the failing node is back on line. This is perhaps one reason why we see most production networks concentrated in lowwage nations that are near, or even contiguous with high-technology nations, especially the US,
8 313 Japan and Germany (Baldwin and Lopez-Gonzales 2012) Big-Ideas development theory and international supply chains Given these stylised facts and widespread discussion of international supply-chains, it is surprising that supply-chains have not played a greater role in high development theory. Take, for example, the Spence Growth Commission (2008). The Commission s factual basis rests on 13 success stories. Every single case started well before globalization s 2 nd unbundling in the mid-1980s. The Report s lessons are all very sensible good governance, judicious use of domestic and global markets, etc. but it seems rather brave to suggest that lessons from Japan s and Korea s industrialization in the 1970s and 1980s can be applied to the world of international value chains (Cattaneo et al 2011). 8 Specifically, leading development models continue to view industry as purely national. They assume that national production is a package containing only the nation s productive factors and technology. 9 As it turns out, it is rather easy to integrate globalization s 2 nd unbundling into a simple version of development frameworks. This is the next task. High development theory starts from the presumption that something is stuck. A nation has not developed modern industry but could, so market forces must be supplemented by direct government action (first Big Ideas like Big Push and ISI), or by removing the barriers that had hereto prevented otherwise profitable industrialization (Washington Consensus). The deep economic logic in both cases turns on multiple-equilibrium economics. Successful development policy before the 2 nd unbundling To fix ideas, consider the simplest general equilibrium model with multiple equilibriums
9 314 (the model here is a simplified version of the one in Harrison and Clare-Rodrigues 2009). Assume a small open economy with a single productive factor and two sectors, one of which is marked by external economies of scale (EES). The perfectly competitive, numeraire sector (call it A), produces under constant returns. The perfectly competitive manufacturing sector (call it M) produces one unit of output with a M units of labour, but a M falls as total employment in the sector rises due to EES. Thus: Q M L a SVMPL M M M ; a M p L 2, QA L L (1) M L M M /, VMPL A 1 where Q M, L M and a M are output, labour employed and the unit labour input coefficient in M; (a mnemonic for Marshallian) is the EES parameter and (a mnemonic for backwardness) governs the nation s native comparative advantage in M (units are choose so the unit input coefficient of A is unity). SVMPL M and p are the social value of the marginal product of labour (i.e. including EES) and the domestic relative price of M, respectively. VMPL A is the value of the marginal product of labour in A. The model can be solved graphically with the help of Figure 6. The state variable is L M and the left figure shows the tendency of labour to move between the two sectors assuming the migration of the Krugman (1991) type. When L M is below L M, competitive wages are higher in the A sector so the equilibrium is at point A and L M =0. If L M is above L M, wages are higher in manufacturing so the equilibrium is at M. Liebenstien (1957) calls the unstable equilibrium U the critical minimum effort ; L M measures the lumpiness of industry and thus the difficulty of industrializing. Real incomes are higher in M, so the goal of development/industrialization policy would be to shift to point M, a nation that is stuck at point A. For instance, temporary protection that
10 315 raised p and thus SVMPLM above VMPLA at L M =0 (dashed line) would shift labour to M. Once L M passes the critical minimum effort, protection can be removed; the market will complete the nation s industrialization. This is how ISI was supposed to work. In trade terms, this is a Ricardian model with an endogenous a M. Under A and M equilibriums, the nation s comparative advantages are in A and M respectively. This is shown with the private (i.e. ignoring EES) production possibility frontiers (PPFs) in the right panel. Insert Figure 6 about here The very intuitive condition for multiple equilibriums to exist and thus for ISI succeed is that SVMPL M is above VMPL A at L M = L, namely: p L 1 (2) This requires that that nation s native comparative advantage (as measured by p/w ) is not too bad, and/or that Marshallian spillovers (as measured by ) are sufficiently important, and the nation is not too small (as measured by L) to realize sufficient EES. 2 nd unbundling: Making industry less lumpy and industrialization easier This approach pushes the Marshallian spillovers into a black box a reasonable modelling strategy before globalization s 2 nd unbundling. To allow for international supply chains, we introduce intermediate goods in a way that mimics the previous model as closely as possible. Specifically, we maintain all the assumptions except those concerning the M-sector technology. Now M is produced from differentiated varieties with an Either-style, CES production function, and the market structure is Dixit-Stigliz monopolistic competition. 1 1/ D 1 1/ F Specifically 1 1/ 1 Q n x n x where the subscripts denote domestic, D, and M D F
11 316 foreign, F, varieties (number, n, and quantity, x) and > 1 is the elasticity of substitution. Using the well-known Dixit-Stiglitz properties, it is easy to show that: 1 L 1 1 1/ M SVMPL M p nf ( ) (3) 2F where F is the Dixit-Stiglitz fixed cost and > 0 is a collection of parameters related to the optimal mix of varieties. It is easy to show that if = 2 and n F = 0 (i.e. no unbundling of production), this model is identical to the previous one with = 1/F. The impact of allowing international supply chains is immediately obvious from the formula for SVMPL M. The ability to employ foreign varieties in the domestic production processes (i.e. n F > 0) raises the social value of labour s marginal product in manufacturing. Looking at Figure 6, we see this lowers the critical minimum effort (i.e. the U equilibrium shifts left). What this means in practice is that industry is less lumpy and industrialization is easier. Additional considerations For simplicity s sake, we ve assumed that the developing nation s comparative advantage in every variety is identical. Given the range of factor intensities in various production stages, it seems quite likely that the developing nation has a greater comparative advantage in some varieties. Before production unbundling, what mattered was the average comparative advantage across all varieties so assuming them all equal entailed no loss in clarity. After unbundling, however, the nation can specialise in varieties where its technological disadvantage is least marked, so the symmetry misses an important gateway to industrialization. Hereto we have been agnostic as to whether M is a final good or simply one component
12 317 of a larger production process. If we added more structure, say M being a final good that involves two components, unbundling can even further reduce the minimum critical effort since now the nation could industrialize by making only one of the components and exporting it into an international supply chain. Before unbundling, the nation had to make both. If the unbundling of production stages goes far enough, the minimum critical effort might be so low as to be within the reach of individual firms from advanced technology nations. Finally, the ICT revolution made it safer for firms with sophisticated know-how to combine their competencies with low-cost labour in a developing nation. For example, if the developing nation does join an international supply chain, the advanced technology firm behind the network has an incentive to lower its costs by combining advanced technology with developing nation labour, i.e. lowering the parameter and thus make industrialization even less lumpy by shifting equilibrium U to the left. Distance may matter more in a slight extension of this set up. As mentioned above, even with today s ICT, coordinating a production network still involves some face-to-face and faceto-machine interactions that require technicians and managers to travel from the advancetechnology home nation to the developing host nation. This is perhaps one reason we see most production networks concentrated in low-wage nations that are near high-technology nations US, Japan and Germany (Johnson and Noguera 2012, Baldwin and Lopez-Gonzalez 2012). 1.3.Why the difference matters The role of governments, trade, and multinationals is completely different when a nation joins a supply chain. Two points: Industrialization is easier and faster; but
13 318 Industrialization is less meaningful. It became faster and easier since the supply chain makes industry less lumpy and less interconnected domestically; it became less meaningful for the same reasons. That Korea could export domestically-designed car engines was a testimony to its rich-nation status. Now, exporting sophisticated manufactured goods is no longer the hallmark of having arrived. It may simply reflect a nation s position in an international supply chain. Moreover the challenges facing policy makers are quite different. Under the 20 th century view of industry, a deep industrial base was a prerequisite for export success, but a large market was necessary to support the industrial base. The search for markets was thus a key element of trade and industrialization policy. With international supply-chains, however, demand is easy to find. Instead, policy makers face many new questions: Which supply chains should be joined? Should nations strive to set up their own international production networks? What is the optimal technology policy (intellectual property rights, etc.)? What is the role of size; can smaller nations do what China has done on forced technology transfer? Different nations are trying different things without guidance from formal models that explicitly incorporate supply chains. This lacuna at least partly accounts for why Big Ideas don t fit all cases. It is easy to see how a comparison between Brazil and China is puzzling when one ignores supply chains. China which is physically in the middle of Factory Asia is not using Chinese factors of production, Chinese technology, or relying on Chinese policy for most of Chinese exports.
14 319 The Chinese content of its processing exports is less than 20% (Ma and Van Assche 2010), and this type of trade accounts for more than half of the nation s boom in manufactured trade. Of course China-specific factors also matter, but if you want to fully understand Chinese export success, you have to look at the productive factors, technology, and government policies of Japan, Korea, Taipei, and ASEAN nations that is where many of the critical components, and most of the design, marketing, and management expertise lie. Brazil is too far from Factory North America and Factory Europe to enjoy such a free ride. Most goods Brazil exports depend solely on Brazilian inputs, technology and policies. 1.4.Plan of the paper The next section briefly recalls the main outlines of globalization s 1 st and 2 nd unbundlings to set the stage for an illustrative case study (autos) in Section 3. Section 4 seeks to crystallise the economic logic linking trade and industry when industrialization meant building a supply chain. Section 5 extends the framework to allow explicit consideration of supply chains, their internationalization, and the role of multinationals. The penultimate section explores why the difference between building and joining a supply chain matters. Section 7 looks at the implications for multilateral cooperation and the last section presents the concluding remarks. 2. Globalization as two unbundlings Globalization is not a smooth process driven by lower natural and manmade trade costs.
15 320 Globalization made a giant leap when steam power slashed shipping costs; and advanced in the post-war period when trade barriers erected in the inter-war years were reduced. It made another when ICT decimated coordination costs. The implications of the two are dramatically different; understanding why requires a bit of background Steam revolution and the 1 st unbundling When clippers and stage coaches were high-tech, few items could be profitability shipped internationally. This forced the geographical bundling of production and consumption; each village had to make most of what it consumed (central illustration in Figure 7). Steam power changed this by radically lowering transport costs (Figure 8, left panel). Railroads and steamships made it feasible to spatially separate production and consumption. Once the separation was feasible, scale economies and comparative advantage made it inevitable. This was globalization s 1 st unbundling. Trade theory was developed to understand its economic impact. The 1 st unbundling created what might seem to be a paradox production clustered into factories and industrial districts even as it dispersed internationally (Figure 7). The paradox is resolved with three points: i) cheap transport favoured large-scale production, ii) such production is very complex, and iii) close proximity lowers the cost of coordinating complexity. Consumption clustered in cities for reasons that do not concern this paper. Insert Figures 7 and 8 about here Thoughtful readers will have already guessed what the 2 nd unbundling involves. To set the scene,
16 321 however, consider the forces that produced the local clustering of production. ICT revolution and the 2 nd unbundling Why does the production of goods and services cluster within buildings and factories? Think of a stylized factory with the production stages as schematically illustrated in Figure 7. Coordinating the manufacturing process demands continuous, two-way flows among the bays of goods, people, training, investment, and information (double-headed arrows). As productivityenhancing exchanges keep the process in flux, the flows never die down. Plainly some of proximity s cost-savings are related to communications. As telecommunications became cheap, reliable, and widespread from the mid-1980s, the coordination glue began to loosen. Telecom advances united with vast strides in computing power, transmission capacities, and software to create the information and communication technology (ICT) revolution. 11 It became increasingly economical to geographically separate manufacturing stages to unbundle the factories. Once the separation was feasible, scale economies and comparative advantage made it inevitable. This is the globalization s 2 nd unbundling; production stages previously performed in close proximity are dispersed to reduce production costs. Theories to understand its implications are only now emerging. 12 Insert Figure 9 about here The unbundling, however, is not global. It is regional. Take for example the North
17 322 American auto industry. During the 1950s, three-quarters of all auto parts were made in or near Michigan, whereas the state is now responsible for only one-quarter (Klier and Rubenstein 2008). Figure 9 shows that today many parts plants are no longer in Michigan but they are clustered within a 1000 kilometres radius. The plants further afield, for example in Mexico, are themselves clustered. This is one of the clues on why distance is so important in international supply chains. The timing of the 2 nd unbundling has not been definitively identified. The right panel of Figure 8 shows ICT indicators that suggest the shock that created it unrolled from say, 1985 to the late 1990s; I take 1985 to 1995 to be concrete. Transport costs jumped around a bit during this period (oil prices), but were on average unchanged since the mid 1970s (left panel, Figure 8). 2.2.Transformed international commerce The 2 nd unbundling transformed trade for a very simple reason. Production dispersion did not end the need to coordinate production stages it internationalized it (rightmost illustration in Figure 7). This gave rise to 21 st century trade the heart of which might be called the tradeinvestment-services-intellectual property (IP) nexus (Baldwin 2011). Specifically, the nexus reflects the intertwining of: i) trade in parts and components, ii) international movement of investment in production facilities, personnel training, technology, and long-term business relationships, and iii) services to coordinate the dispersed production, especially infrastructure services such as telecoms, internet, express parcel delivery, air cargo, trade-related finance, customs clearance, etc. The most radical change in terms of theory and outcomes was the way the 2 nd unbundling
18 323 made it easy for rich-nation firms to combine the high technology they developed at home with low-wage workers abroad. The first examples came in 1985 across the US-Mexico border (Hanson and Feenstra 1997) and within East Asia (Ando and Kimura 2005). This created an important distinction what might be called 20 th versus 21 st century trade. 20 th century trade is the selling of goods made in factories in one nation to customers in another; the trade system is largely about demand, i.e. selling things. In this world, goods are packages of a single nation s productive factors, technology, social capital, governance capacity, etc. Of course, 20 th century trade is still with us. 21 st century trade involves continuous, two-way flows of things, people, training, investment, and information that used to take place within factories and offices; the trade system is also about supply, i.e. making things. Goods are packages of a many nations productive factors, technology, social capital, and governance capacity; a nation s trade pattern is inseparable from its position in the supply chain. Comparative advantage shifted from a very national concept to a much more regional concept as predicted by the analysis of Deardorff (2005). 2.3.Transformed industrialization The 2 nd unbundling also transformed industrialization. Before the ICT revolution and the 2 nd unbundling, the nation needed all three Figure 7 production bays inside the country. After the 2 nd unbundling, advanced-nation firms offshored labour-intensive segments of their supply chain to developing nations. This completely changed the industrialization process in the developing nations that
19 324 received these offshored stages. Stage B arrived with everything needed to export world-class technology, management, quality control, a ready-made market, etc. All the developing nation had to add was reasonably reliable workers, a hospitable business environment, and proximity to an advanced technology nation willing to offshore some of its factories. Note that proximity matters greatly since key personnel must still visit the offshored factory, so being within an easy day s travel is a tremendous advantage (Figure 9). At first this was limited to export processing zones (EPZs) and triangle trade (e.g. Japan ships computer parts for assembly to China which ships the final good to Europe). As cost pressure led to growing specialisation and scale, multiple developing nations were folded into the supply chain. This is clearest in East Asia where it can be seen in the 1985 versus 2000 Asian Input-Output tables constructed by Japan s IDE-JETRO (Table 1). Each element shows the column-nation s share of manufactured intermediates that is purchased from the corresponding row-nation. Insert Table 1 here In 1985, the matrix was simple. Most developing East Asian nations supplied most of their own intermediates (diagonal of top panel). The rest was imported from advanced nations (the shaded rows). By 2000, the diagonal elements were way down; cross-country reliance was way up. Countries like Thailand and China were supplying lots of intermediates to fellow developing nations. This is Factory Asia (Baldwin 2008). 3. Suggestive case study: The auto industry To bring down the level of abstraction, this section turns to examine a case study: how the 2 nd unbundling transformed trade and industrialization in East Asia s auto sector.
20 Import substitution in autos Development economists first big idea import substitution was commonly viewed as having an easy bit and a hard bit. The easy bit was to generate production of light manufactures, such as clothing and shoes. It was easy in the sense that Liebenstien s critical minimum effort was low enough for even small nations to get past. The hard bit was moving up to heavy industry like chemicals and machinery (Balassa 1981, Essay 1). Among the favourite second-stage import substitution targets was the automobile industry. This is odd. Even in the 1970s, making an automobile required a massively complex network of suppliers, and a broad array of advanced technologies, advanced management capacities, and a skilled workforce exactly the wrong entry-level industry one might think. Why then was it such a favourite among development planners? The answer is that the advanced-nation car producers helped them contrive the appearance of an auto industry. The trick is so-called complete knock-down kits, often shortened to CKD. Nearly all kits come from home country plants, where the parts are taken off the assembly line and consolidated in shipping containers for transport to CKD assembly plants, (Sturgeon 1998). The assembly plant then puts together the pieces and presto! The nation can pretend it has a car industry. The developing nation s assembler was almost always a joint venture with the advanced-nation kit producer. 13 Insert Figure 10 about here Assembly, of course, was only meant to be the first step. According to ISI theory, local assembly would create local demand for auto parts and this world create local parts suppliers. The developing nations would build the whole supply chain working from downstream to

Lokai, a socially responsible lifestyle brand that represents the importance of finding balance and staying centered along life's journey, has formed a strategic partnership with the Alzheimer's Association. Committed to supporting the Alzheimer's Association's efforts to accelerate the global progress of new treatments, preventions and ultimately, a cure, Lokai has created a limited-edition purple bracelet to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. The campaign officially kicks off on February 1, 2016 and will run through February 29, 2016.
During his freshman year in college, founder and CEO of Lokai, Steven Izen, learned that his grandfather had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Deeply affected by the news, Steven realized the importance of staying hopeful during life's lows, as well as humble through its highs. In need of a physical reminder to find balance during life's unpredictable journey, Steven created Lokai.
For more information on this program, please visit mylokai.com/charity, or Lokai's Instagram page at instagram.com/livelokai.
Lokai will donate to the Alzheimer's Association one dollar ($1.00) for each purple Lokai sold between February 1, 2016 and February 29, 2016 with a minimum contribution of $300,000.

Prostate carcinoma metastatic to the skin as an extrammamary Paget's disease

The current paper describes a case of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastatic to the skin presenting as an extrammamary Paget's disease, a very rare and poorly characterised morphological entity. We report a case of prostatic carcinoma metastatic to skin showing a pattern of extramammary Paget's disease which has not been clearly illustrated in the literature Case presentation: A 63 year-old man with prostatic adenocarcinoma developed cutaneous metastases after 16 years. The inguinal metastases were sessile and 'keratotic.' The tumour displayed solid, glandular areas as well as a polypoid region suggestive of extramammary Paget's disease were identified.
Discussion and conclusions
We review the diagnostic criteria that have led to the correct histopathological diagnosis in this case. A differential diagnosis of the pagetoid spread in the skin and various forms of cutaneous metastases determined by a prostatic adenocarcinoma as well as the role of immunohistochemistry in establishing the prostatic origin are presented in the context of this case. Although, morphologically the cells presented in the skin deposits were not characteristic for adenocarcinoma of prostate, immunohistochemistry for PSA and PSAP suggested a prostatic origin.

Prostate adenocarcinoma is one of the most common cancers in Australia. The Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study revealed that 8.4% of the subjects enrolled in the study developed over 15 years prostatic adenocarcinoma and more than 10% of these patients died[1]. While some long-term survivors develop an indolent disease without dissemination others develop early or even late metastases. Secondary deposits associated with prostatic adenocarcinoma are located with predilection in the bone system while skin metastasis represents an exceptional event[2]. Evaluation of these skin lesions should always include a thorough clinical examination, past history and histopathological evaluation. In some patients the history of prostatic adenocarcinoma is absent and in others the histology is not characteristic for a prostatic origin or the patients might have had cancers with various origins. In these cases, immunohistochemistry is an invaluable tool, the most commonly used markers being prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostate acid phosphatase (PSAP)[3]. Skin metastasis determined by a prostate adenocarcinoma may display a variety of patterns including the extrammamary Paget's disease. However, at the present time, we do not understand the implication of this morphology for the aggressiveness of the primary cancer and the general outlook of the patient.

• Leukemia: Monoblastic leukemia[45]
Carcinomas and Malignant Melanoma
We present a rare pattern of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastatic to the skin. Immunohistochemistry for PSA and PSAP along with clinical and radiological examination and personal history were corroborated for the final diagnosis. For the histo/dermatopathologist it is important to recognize the plethora of various patterns displayed by cutaneous metastases of a prostatic adenocarcinoma. Last but not least, we should be aware that the PSA/PSAP might not be helpful in confirming the diagnosis if the skin lesion represents the extension of a poorly differentiated prostatic adenocarcinoma and other markers and/or methods need to be employed.

Chennai Super Kings(CSK) pace bowler Laxmipathy Balaji is looking forward to the challenge ahead in Champions League T20 and is all set to help his team claim the CLT20 title in South Africa.
The pacer is well aware of the conditions in South Africa and has planned his strategies accordingly.
"In South Africa, the batsmen are always set to play on the back foot and try to get the boundary through the 'cut" [shot] which is the easiest thing on the pitches there. So if I bowl to length and make the batsmen go for [straight] drives, it is going to be a difficult proposition for them. Balaji told the official website of Chennai Super Kings.
The medium pacer from Tamil Nadu was the second most prolific wicket-taker for CSK who lifted the IPL championship in the 2009 edition. He bagged 12 scalps during the tournament – just one behind spin wizard Muralitharan.
Balaji, who has been in and out of the Indian senior team got a new lease of life after a successful inaugural season of the IPL. He acknowledged the help of his foreign teammates in strategizing against the international batsmen.
"Getting to know their weaknesses and strengths is not an issue. For example, to get details of an Australian side in the fray, we have Matthew Hayden and [Doug] Bollinger to provide information and likewise Albie Morkel would be sought to give the necessary details on African teams,"
Balaji is confident that his team CSK stand a great chance to lift the CLT20 cup with the kind of preparations they have under their belt.

In Power Point 2007 and 2010 I have noticed that if you type a single word wrong and hit space it will not underline it in red, but in Word it underlines as soon as you hit space. The issue is alot of times in Power Point you will only have one word in a box and if it does not underline it you may not catch the typo.
How do you fix this?

Check this setting in PowerPoint Options... (see my attachment) Note the highlighted checkbox.
Jun 5, 2012 at 3:38 UTC
That is checked
Jun 5, 2012 at 3:43 UTC
This may sound elementary, but what patch level are you running on your 2007 & 2010 versions? 2007 should be SP3 and 2010 should be SP1 + numerous Microsoft Updates.
Jun 5, 2012 at 5:05 UTC
Check "hide spelling errors". Quit PowerPoint. Restart, uncheck "hide spelling errors".
Sound bizarre, but can force the setting to change at times.
Jun 6, 2012 at 7:33 UTC
I am up to date on updates and I have tried the check/uncheck
Jun 6, 2012 at 7:36 UTC
This is very unlikely, but possible...did you add the misspelled word to PowerPoint's dictionary or is it any misspelled word?
Jun 6, 2012 at 7:41 UTC
Any misspelled word.
for example ensurance instead of insurance.
if you type this in word and hit space to move on to the next word you get the red line right away.
if you type it in powerpoint and hit space, nothing.
if you hit space twice or enter then you get it but in PP you somtimes just do one word or one line, so....

What are the pros? Quick germination-promising!
What are the cons? None so far
This is a beautiful bean and I can't wait to try it's flavor. I ordered several varieties from baker creek and got the seeds in less than a week. I soaked all the beans in water for 1 hour before direct sowing and 5 days later I saw my first little seedling pushing itself out of the soil this morning. Very promising future and I can't wait till it matures. Will update my review later in the season. Thank you baker creek!

|Problems scheduling a project in SVN
|Thu, 28 Sep 2006 17:31:36 GMT
Hi all! First of all, congratulations for Continuum project! I am using Continuum 1.0.3, Subversion as repository and I have 4 ant projects. Sometimes it seems that Continuum stops building the projects that are scheduled to run hourly. I was looking the log and reading about it and I was wondering if its stops are because no changes were made. Is it possible to make Continuum run hourly without any changes made in the Subversion repository because I really need to run it every hour. Thanks. Bruno C Ghisi

Product and Software: This article applies to all Aruba controllers and ArubaOS 3.x.0.
Most customers think that if they check the "Enforce machine authentication" option on the controller, then machine authentication is enforced for the client. However, this is not actually true.
The client still has the discretion to initiate machine authentication. Typically it refers the WZC option "Allow computer information to be sent when it is available" or group policy.
When the enforce option is enabled, ArubaOS remembers all clients that have passed machine authentication for last 24 hours. When a client passes user authentication, it is assigned either the user-default-role or the dot1x default-role, depending on if it passed machine authentication before.

Vladimir Guerrero was the 2004 American League MVP and a four-time All-Star while playing for the Los Angeles Angels. He batted .319 with 173 home runs in six seasons and helped the Angels win five division titles.
Tonight, when he returns to Anaheim for the first time as the Texas Rangers' DH, Guerrero will try to help short-circuit the Angels' attempt to get closer to first place in the AL West.
Guerrero, 35, told reporters in Texas he doesn't know what kind of reception he's going to get. "I have to wait and see,'' he said.
One thing's for certain: Angels fans are going to be seeing a lot of Guerrero. He's expected to be the DH for the AL when the All-Star Game is in Anaheim July 13. And, the Rangers play there six times before Aug. 1.
The Rangers have a 4 1/2-game lead over the Angels. Both teams are playing well. The Rangers are 9-1 in their last 10 games, and the Angels, who are without first baseman Kendry Morales (broken leg), are 7-3.
Scott Feldman pitches for the Rangers against Joel Pineiro.

|A Canadian sailor aground in Catalonia, Spain. We used to live in Toronto, then we got on our boat and sailed down to the Bahamas where we spent most of our time for three years and now we are here in Spain, outside of Barcelona, learning the languages, eating and doing our thing. Yup, we still miss the boat but life is good.

"My Dear Chicky Dicky Darlint" began a letter from suffrage leader Susan B. Anthony to her lover Anna Dickenson. In this l868 letter, Anthony professed her love to Anna and counseled her to commit herself to the cause of women's rights rather than marry a man. Although Anthony and Dickenson would not have used the term lesbian to define themselves (or even been familiar with the word), Lillian Faderman contends that their lives could be described as lesbian.
To Believe in Women: What Lesbians Have Done For America focuses on 19th and early 20th century women for whom the adjective lesbian "accurately describes their committed domestic, sexual, and/or affectional experiences." Faderman argues that these women emerged as leaders in early struggles for women's rights precisely because their lesbian lifestyle provided them the freedom to commit themselves to the cause much more effectively than had they lived in a heterosexual arrangement.
Freedom from the roles of wife and mother gave lesbian women the luxury to dedicate themselves to women's rights. It also gave them an extra incentive to fight for equality, as they did not rely on a man's income for their livelihood. Resisting the norms of proper female behavior, women who rejected marriage had far less to lose than their heterosexual sisters whose activism may have offended potential husbands. Lesbian women's commitments to each other, and their independence from heterosexual limitations, best positioned them to "wage the necessary grueling and often brutal battles on behalf of women."
Faderman divides her book into four sections. She describes how these pioneering lesbian women pursued suffrage, social justice, education, and the professions for themselves and, by extension, for all women. From the outset, women who loved other women were often at the head of movements for women's equality.
From Susan B. Anthony to Carrie Chapman Catt, lesbian suffrage leaders collaborated with their female partners. Personally and politically they stood side by side, offering each other the strength and encouragement needed to persevere. When Catt died, she arranged to be buried in a double plot with her life partner, Mollie Hay. On the gravestone that covers them both, Catt had inscribed: "Here lie two friends, for thirty-eight years united in service to a great cause."
Working to create a more just world for women demanded the collaboration not only of individual lesbian couples, but of a vast network. Many of the leading women in New Deal politics moved in the same circle of friends. Their success depended on utilizing their networks to help one another into positions of power. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (herself a member of lesbian circles) brought "unprecedented female political leadership to the Democratic Party."
In the battle for women's equal education, the president of Bryn Mawr College, M. Carey Thomas, networked with lesbian friends in the Women's Trade Union League to establish a summer school for working-class women. In the professional realm, perhaps the most hostile environment to women, pioneering lesbian lawyer Florence Allen recognized that "females could succeed only by acting as a constituency and noisily pushing for one another." Other lesbian women served as Allen's major mentors and supporters.
As Faderman chronicles the contributions of specific lesbian women to America, she also provides the social context to understand the shifting ideologies of womanhood and same-sex relationships in which these women lived. Anti-suffragists—those men and women who opposed granting women the vote—believed that real women neither wanted nor needed the vote. Victorian ideology dictated that "true women" had the protection of men and therefore did not need the vote. Society labeled women "unsexed" if they rejected their true nature of womanhood as dependent on men. Still, lesbian women in the nineteenth century were not deterred by this label.
The label of "unsexed" seemed relatively innocuous compared to the ideology created by sexologists in the post-World War I era. Sexologists, led by Freud, deemed women who rejected the norms of womanhood sexually "inverted." The virulence of this new notion created a more dangerous atmosphere as inversion suggested abnormality, pathology, and disease. This ideology, combined with the post- World War II obsession with creating the perfect heterosexual nuclear family, resulted in the vilification of female same-sex love between 1920 and 1970. This era also saw a related lull in women's rights activity. Not until the mid-sixties did the movement pick up and lesbian women again begin to express their love for each other with relative impunity.
Faderman deserves much credit for her finely detailed documentation of the activist world of same-sex love between women. Until recently, much of lesbian history has been, if not nonexistent then largely invisible. Faderman's pioneering efforts to create a "lesbian history" began in 1981 with the publication of the now classic text, Surpassing the Love of Men: Romantic Friendship and Love Between Women from the Renaissance to the Present. Faderman's other works include Chloe Plus Olivia: An Anthology of Lesbian Literature from the Seventeenth Century to the Present (1994) and Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers: A History of Lesbian Life in Twentieth Century America (1991). To Believe in Women, Faderman's most ambitious work to date, complements this impressive collection of lesbian history.
Homophobia has, for too long, hidden lesbian contributions to society. Without reservation, Faderman prompts us to proudly proclaim and reclaim the accomplishments of lesbian women.
