Pepcid is the brand name for famotidine, a drug that works to reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces.
It's available as both a prescription medicine and an over-the-counter (OTC) medicine.
Prescription Pepcid is used to treat conditions such as ulcers (sores in the stomach lining or small intestine), gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD (when stomach acid irritates the esophagus, causing heartburn and other problems), and certain tumors in the pancreas or the small intestine (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).
Pepcid sold OTC is used to help prevent and treat heartburn symptoms, such as indigestion or having a sour stomach after eating foods and drinking beverages that disagree with you.
Pepcid belongs to a class of drug called histamine-2 or H2 blockers, which work by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave Marathon Pharmaceuticals approval to market prescription Pepcid in 1986. Many companies market OTC famotidine.
Although Pepcid is not approved for veterinary use, veterinarians do commonly give the medication to dog and cats to suppress stomach acid if they are producing too much.
In one study, researchers compared famotidine with three other gastric-acid suppressants in 12 healthy beagles. The others included ranitidine (Zantac), pantoprazole (Protonix), and omeprazole (Prilosec). They found that all but ranitidine suppressed acid secretion.
If you have kidney problems, your doctor may not prescribe or recommend Pepcid. Studies show that Pepcid can have adverse effects on the central nervous system in people who have moderate to severe kidney problems.
Pepcid is in Pregnancy category B, according to the FDA, which means that animal studies have not found a risk to the developing fetus, but there are no adequate studies of the drug in pregnant women.
Ask your doctor if you can take Pepcid if you are pregnant.
Studies have found that Pepcid is secreted into breast milk. If you are breastfeeding, you should discuss whether to discontinue nursing or stop taking the drug with your doctor.
Side effects most often reported by Pepcid users are:
Reports show that these side effects were infrequent, however. In one clinical trial, less than 5 percent of people had headache, and less than 2 percent had dizziness, constipation, or diarrhea from taking Pepcid.
Severe side effects are also rare. Those that have been reported are heart rhythm problems, jaundice, liver enzyme abnormalities, facial swelling, and grand mal seizure.
Among the drugs that Pepcid may interact with are:
You should always tell your doctor about any prescription, non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), illegal and recreational drugs, herbal remedies, nutritional and dietary supplements, and all other drugs and treatments you're taking.
Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Pepcid, as it may be damaging to your stomach.
Prescription Pepcid comes as a tablet (20 mg or 40 mg) or a liquid to take orally. OTC famotidine is available as a tablet, chewable tablet, or capsule.
Doses of prescription Pepcid depend on the condition being treated. Here are recommended doses for some of its more common uses:
Do not take more prescription Pepcid than recommended. Oral doses of up to 640 mg a day have reportedly been given to adults with conditions involving excess stomach acid with no serious problems. However, you should stick with the doses your doctor recommends.
Do not take more than two tablets of OTC famotidine in a 24-hour period and don't take it for longer than 2 weeks unless your doctor recommends it. If you use OTC famotidine for 2 weeks and still have symptoms of heartburn or indigestion, stop the drug and call your doctor.
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next dose. If it's almost time for the next one, skip the missed dose and resume your normal medication schedule. Do not double up.
A: Famotidine (Pepcid) has been on the market for a long time. It is now OTC approved by the FDA because of its safety. People have used this long term. If you feel this is not working any more you can try Zantac-Pepcid OTC or Prilosec OTC. For more information on GERD you can go to: //www.everydayhealth.com/gerd/guide/ Gerald Levy, RPh
A: Pepcid (famotidine) belongs to a class of drugs called histamine-2 (H2) blockers. H2 blockers work by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces. Pepcid is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines and to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It can also be used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions in which acid backs up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn. Common side effects of Pepcid include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, weakness, mood changes, and headache. This is not a complete list of side effects that can occur with Pepcid. A search of a drug database and the prescribing information for Pepcid did not specifically list gas as a side effect. If this side effect becomes bothersome or severe, consult your doctor or health care provider for specific recommendations. Your doctor is best able to properly evaluate your medical condition and make recommendations based on your specific circumstances. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or local pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Sarah Lewis, RPh, PharmD
A: Pepcid AC (famotidine) is in a group of drugs called histamine-2 (H2) blockers. H2 blockers work by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces. Pepcid AC is used to treat and prevent heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach. This is usually associated with eating or drinking certain foods and beverages. A search of a drug database and the prescribing information for prescription Pepcid did not specifically list any information about osteoporosis. However, another class of drugs that is used to decrease stomach acid production may be linked to early onset osteoporosis. This class is the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and includes medications such as Protonix (pantoprazole), Prilosec (omeprazole), and Nexium (esomeprazole). PPIs may interfere with calcium absorption and contribute to osteoporosis in people who have taken them long-term. The concern about calcium being linked to heart attacks comes from the results of a study recently published in the British Journal of Medicine (BMJ). The study found an increased risk of heart attack, but not death, in older people who took calcium supplements. This has not been seen in people who eat foods rich in calcium, suggesting that it is somehow related to the supplement and not calcium itself. Experts have pointed out that this study only looked at supplements containing only calcium and not supplements that also contain vitamin D, which is typically recommended. They also note that the lack of an increase in deaths may mean that we don't know the whole picture yet and need more research to help clear up the information. For now, they recommend weighing the benefits of calcium supplementation against this potential risk. Talk to your doctor and ask about the study and whether calcium supplementation is appropriate for you. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or local pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Sarah Lewis, RPh
A: Famotidine (Pepcid) is a histamine H2 antagonist which is available over-the-counter for the treatment of heartburn, acid indigestion and sour stomach. Tums (calcium carbonate) is an antacid which can provide short term relief of heartburn or indigestion. Another class of medications for the treatment of heartburn that is now over the counter is proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Prilosec OTC (omeprazole) and Zegerid (omeprazole sodium bicarbonate) are over-the-counter PPIs used for short-term treatment of frequent (greater than 2 days a week) uncomplicated heartburn. Many patients who do not get adequate relief from a histamine H2 antagonist may find relief with a PPI. It is not recommended to use PPIs or other over-the-counter medications, such as H2 antagonists (famotidine), for longer than two weeks without having the condition evaluated by your doctor. Heartburn symptoms that last longer than two weeks could be a sign of something more serious, so they should be evaluated by your doctor. Your doctor may be able to prescribe a stronger strength of H2 antagonist or PPI. Other ways to help with heartburn symptoms include lifestyle changes such as losing weight, quitting smoking and avoiding foods such as chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, fried or fatty foods, spicy foods, acidic foods. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Laura Cable, PharmD
A: Pepcid (famotidine) is a medication that is used to treat acid reflux and other conditions of the stomach and esophagus. It is in the group of medications called histamine blockers that work by blocking histamine in the stomach, which decreases the amount of acid produced, and relieves your symptoms. The prescribing information on Pepcid does not list bloating as a side effect of the medication. Although, it does list constipation as a common side effect, which could contribute to bloating. Pepcid does not come in a 15mg strength tablet, and this makes me wonder if you are taking Prevacid capsules instead. If this is the case, in looking at the prescribing information on Prevacid, this medication does not cause bloating as a common side effect either. It does list constipation as a common side effect, just as Pepcid does, which could, in turn, cause a bloating feeling. Lori Poulin, PharmD
A: Pepcid AC is an over-the-counter (nonprescription) medication, which contains famotidine 10 mg. Famotidine is in a drug class called H2 (histamine 2) blockers. Famotidine decreases acid production in the stomach. As such, Pepcid AC's purpose is an acid reducer. Pepcid AC is used to relieve heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach. Pepcid AC is also used to prevent heartburn associated with acid indigestion and sour stomach that may occur after eating or drinking certain food and drinks. Pepcid AC is not intended to specifically prevent or treat bloating; however, this does not necessarily mean that bloating will not be relieved following Pepcid AC treatment. People should not use Pepcid AC if they are allergic to famotidine or other acid reducers. People should also not use Pepcid AC if they have difficulty or pain swallowing food; vomiting with blood; or stools that are bloody or black. These may be signs of a serious medical condition and a doctor should be seen. Pepcid AC should not be used with other acid reducers. People who have experienced heartburn for longer than 3 months should consult their doctor before using Pepcid AC. Prolonged heartburn could be a sign of a more serious condition. People should also consult their doctor before starting Pepcid AC if they have the following: heartburn accompanied by lightheadedness, sweating, or dizziness; chest or shoulder pain accompanied by shortness of breath; sweating; pain that spreads to arms, neck, shoulders; lightheadedness; chest pain that happens often; frequent bouts of wheezing, especially with heartburn; weight loss that is unexplained; nausea or vomiting; or stomach pain.

Mediterranean Grill (Midtown)

- Midtown
- Greek, Mediterranean
A family-owned, chef-owned grill built from the ground up almost two decades ago and still serving up the same fantastic falafel to this day.Yes, their walls are plastered with various "Best of Atlanta" awards. Yes, glowing newspaper reviews are a dime a dozen in here. But the awards, plaques, and newspaper clippings are nothing compared to the sheer love and loyalty people have for Mediterranean Grill. Weekly regulars, from families to students, know the owners by name and their orders by heart. "We're old-school in everything we do," says Emad, pointing to their fresh ingredients, made-to-order dishes, and treating both customers and employees like family.
It's not just a place where the gyros are juicy, the lamb shanks are tender, and the Greek potatoes are crispy and perfectly seasoned. It's a family-owned, chef-owned place, built from the ground up almost two decades ago and it's still serving up the same fantastic falafel to this day. And after tasting their Greek potatoes or their shish kabob sandwich, you'll understand why this place has had a following for nearly two decades. Sam says he makes regular trips to the farmers markets for produce, and consistently uses the actual Mediterranean ingredients that make this place legit (in his words, if you're gonna serve Mediterranean food, using the right olive oil is a no-brainer). About fifteen years ago, you couldn't really find that kind of Mediterranean food in Atlanta, which is exactly why Sam moved from Chicago to bring a slice of Greektown to our city. Since then, their gyros (that's "yeer-ohs" to you), affordable prices, and fresh, made-to-order cuisine have made up some of the best Greek food this side of the Aegean... and gives Atlanta our own version of a little Greektown.

The world's greatest ground? A photographic centenary celebration of Highbury
8. War wounds
Highbury suffered along with the rest of the country during the Second World War. Like many grounds, it was commandeered for the war effort, becoming an Air Raid Precautions (ARP) station.
And like many buildings in London and elsewhere, it suffered from the Luftwaffe. One night in 1941, the North Terrace roof suffered a direct hit and collapsed onto the scrap that was being stored beneath it, causing a large fire and devastating the terrace.
The southern end - behind which a barrage balloon was tethered - also suffered damage during the Blitz. In October 1940, a 1000lb fell close to the ground and tonnes of concrete were blown over the terraces.
By the time this photograph was taken on 7 October 1949, the North Terrace had been cleared and tidied, but it wouldn't get its roof back for a while as club and country struggled with the financial consequences of the war.

When: Sunday, November 6, 2011
Where: 13th International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2011, Barcelona, Spain.
Short description:
With the advent of new, low-cost hardware such as OpenNI compatible cameras and continued efforts in advanced open source 3D point cloud processing, 3D perception gains more and more importance in robotics, as well as other fields. The workshop attempts to motivate new developers and ideas to delve into this subject by offering a tutorial on point cloud processing using the emerging Point Cloud Library (PCL), which presents an advanced and extensive approach to the subject, as well as providing an overview of existing systems applying these techniques. Our goal is to provide an excellent reference material for students and researchers interested in this subject and take our guests through a complete application demonstration (given live) that combines subjects such as filtering, feature estimation, segmentation, registration, object recognition and finally surface reconstruction. The tutorial will be held using OpenNI compatible sensors, so we encourage the audience to bring theirs so we can follow all the steps together. We're assembling a great list of invited speakers that will talk about the usage of PCL in their work and show impressive demos.
List of speakers:
From PCL 1.5.0, the source code of the tutorial has been moved over to https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/tree/master/doc/tutorials/content/sources/iccv2011, and has become part of the PCL distribution. Please use this copy instead of the ZIP source archive below.

Facing The Phantom Menace: In 3D!February 11th, 2012 by Kyle
Kyle here;
So I saw Phantom Menace 3D today.
Reaction: Yeah, it's still the Phantom Menace. The only major difference, other than the 3D, is a slightly extended pod race scene. We've all had 13 years to dissect what's wrong with this movie, so there's no point in going over that again.
The 3D was actually surprisingly good, or at least a lot better than I expected. The only really odd thing about it (other than the fact that 3D in general doesn't really look three dimensional, but more layered, like a pop-up book) is that the CGI objects in the film fairly consistently pop out of the screen more than the physical objects and actors. This isn't surprising to me: 3D actually normally looks much better when applied to CGI (the Toy Story movies, for example) than when applied to live-action. In fact, this may really be why TPM looks good in 3D: because so much if it is CGI that redoing the CGI stuff so it looks good in 3D can work pretty well.
But this is, of course, the heart of what's wrong with the movie in the first place: that George Lucas was so enamored with what computers could allow him to put on the screen that he concentrated on that and made characters, storytelling, pacing, tone, and plot secondary concerns. If Phantom Menace 3D is a tactical success, in that it does actually look good in 3D, it is a strategic failure, in that this just serves to reemphasize Lucas's misplaced priorities in making the film. Phantom Menace 3D is a better-looking movie, but it is not a better movie.
And this is why it fails.

How to make a podcasts? What you need to do podcasts ?
Podcasting is a fantastic way to get your personality and you ideas out into the world. Though it's far easier to produce a regular podcast show than, say, a video series or other forms of online content, podcasting still requires more than one might expect, especially if you want to incorporate professional audio. Thankfully, once you've overcome the initial time and monetary investments that go into equipment and planning, all you need is a little dedication and free time to get your show on the road.
Below is our straightforward guide to making a podcast. Keep in mind, however, that it's intended to be more of a jumping off point than a shortcut to any sort of success. We'll be laying out a few suggestions on how to make your show sound great — both in terms of audio quality and content — get hosted, and, hopefully, get noticed.
Planning and preproduction
Before you go about recording your first episode, you need to do a fair amount of planning and pre-production. Below are some other factors to consider.
You can really go any number of directions here. You could go broad and cover a wide variety of topics, or you could go specific and focus on your own niche. Either way, the rule of thumb here is to find a theme that you're interested in and that will suit the goals of your show. The more passionate and knowledgeable you are about a topic or idea, the more fun you'll have, which, will in turn, make your show more entertaining to listen to. As time goes on, if you feel like expanding (or shrinking) your topic as your podcast evolves and grows, go for it! But in the early stages, be sure to stick to it, as it will keep you focused.
Episode length and format
How long do you want your podcast to be? Most podcasts don't exceed 60 minutes as anything longer typically is a bit much for the average listener. Also, take into account the length of any media you will air — such as songs or a pre-recorded introduction — and run a timer for each segment to ensure the utmost accuracy. Timing doesn't need to be exact across all episodes, but it should be in the ballpark.
Once you've chosen your theme and have a general idea for your show's format, the next step is to script it. Yes, that's right, script it. Even if you plan to go off the cuff and improvise your conversations, as most podcasts do, having a general outline to keep yourselves on track is a good idea. This is especially important if you're going to have multiple segments during your show. Having a script or outline will make transitions between segments feel more natural and elegant, and will ensure you stay within your general time limit.
How often will your podcast air new episodes? Weekly or biweekly tends to be the norm for most shows, though others do air monthly or even less frequently than that.

hi all,
Can anyone advise on which IDE/Visual Editor is used most commonly in professional settings for GUI application development?
It seems as though Eclipse is by far the most popular IDE out there, but it does not come with a Visual Editor built in. I can't imagine that professional GUI applications are all coded by hand? Do software companies use some type of third party Visual Editor in conjunction with Eclispe?
I know that Netbeans has a Visual Editor built in. But I would like to work with what is used the most in a professional environment so that it will help me when it comes time for the job hunt.

Sir Austin Bradford Hill (1897-1991)
Austin Bradford Hill was a British epidemiologist best known for his collaborative research with Richard Doll which linked smoking with cancer and other serious diseases. He was also acknowledged by his peers as the world's leading medical statistician and was a pioneer in the use of randomised clinical trials.
A pilot during the First World War, Hill contracted tuberculosis while on service. The illness and his long recovery from it put paid to his intended medical career and he studied economics instead. In the interwar period he was able to combine these two interests through research in epidemiology and statistics, originally with the Industry Fatigue Research Board. This work included important studies on the health of printers, cotton workers and other occupational groups. At the end of the 1930s he also produced a book, Principles of Medical Statistics, which has remained a standard text on the subject.
In 1946, Hill was the statistician for the Medical Research Council's Streptomycin in Tuberculosis Trials Committee, set up to investigate the value of that drug in treating tuberculosis. This study is generally accepted as the first randomised clinical trial - a method first suggested by Hill in the 1930s. However, it was his research with Richard Doll that ensured him a lasting place in medical history. Like Doll, he too was a smoker when they began their studies into lung cancer. Tobacco was not initially central to the investigations and other materials, such as the relatively new material Tarmac, used for roads, were the main suspects. But their ground-breaking work would confirm smoking as the culprit - although Hill did not finally give up his pipe until 1954.

Issues of Ethics and Governance in Malaysia and ChinaBeh, LooSee (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper seeks to develop an understanding of the issues that public administrators should strive to provide in ethical practices and governance thus allowing distinctive administrative and social traditions that each country possess to flourish. Significant changes and continuities in the realm of government in contemporary China and Malaysia will be drawn upon. Recent developments have brought a sense of urgency in contrast to complacency with the status quo. This paper reviews pertinent administrative and ethic issues related to both countries and whether the administrators engage in sustaining the reform agenda while still maintaining the professional capacity and flexibility of administrators when re-delegating responsibly within changing institutional settings. public administration, state, policy, administrative reforms, governance URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7413

Re-Conceptualising Notions of Chinese-ness in a Southeast Asian Business cum Societal ContextJacobsen, Michael (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper explores the role of the Chinese in a Southeast Asian business cum societal context; from different approaches towards Chinese-ness over different notions of intra- and inter-ethnic relation ending up with a critique of the idea of a Chinese diaspora in a Southeast Asian context. The paper furthermore argues that a culturalist reading of Southeast Asian Chinese modes of engaging in capitalist practices and societal entrenchments constitute a deception that produces a variety of stereotypes of Chinese-ness thus disregarding the complexity and dynamic developments within the ethnic Chinese community region-wise. Finally, in relation to Chinese business practices in a Southeast Asian context the paper suggests that cultural notions of guanxi and xinyong do not form a basis for doing business the Chinese way, only options, that intra-ethnic relations do not play an important role in transnational Chinese linkages, and that contemporary conceptions of Chinese identity are always negotiated with the dominant 'other' so as to secure the construction of an economic 'room' or space from where business can be conducted in an overall societal acceptable manner.

Li, Xin; Worm, Verner (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: With China's rapid economic progress and steady increase in its international influence, China has gradually embarked on the soft power idea and has made developing its soft power as its national strategy. We argue that China's soft power strategy is in accordance to Chinese Confucian culture and political value and fits well with its grand strategy of peaceful rise. Based on existing conceptualizations of soft power, we expanded the sources of soft power to six pillars: cultural attractiveness, political values, development model, international institutions, international image, and economic temptation. We also identified three channels for wielding soft power: formal, economic, and cultural diplomacies. Putting all the basics together, we present an integrative model of soft power. Accordingly, we analyze the sources and limits of China's soft power and suggest how to improve it. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7829

Abstract: This article analyses the changes of ownership and identities of Malaysia's locallyowned banks in a series of merger and acquisitions (M&A) within national border and beyond. The article begins with description of the establishments of local banks in Malaya and later Malaysia which were mainly founded and owned by ethnic Chinese. The author then examines how the internal factors (protracted affirmative action policy and the consolidations of local banks by the state) and external factors (forces of globalization) had changed Malaysia's local banks from mainly Chinese-owned to state-owned and from medium-size domestically-based to large-scale regionally-based banking groups. The author shows how the internal factors have been shaping the ownership and identity of Malaysian banks, which aim to facilitate the formation of a Malay entrepreneurial class. The author also show how the external factors have been shaping the strategies and size of the Malaysian banking groups to become huge regional banks to compete with foreign banks for sizable and value deals in the region, in the context of greater liberalization of the financial sector.

Implications for Sino-Malaysian Economic RelationsOoi, Shuat-Mei; Kok-Kheng Yeoh, Émile (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: It is a received opinion that China's emergence as a regional and global power is the most pivotal transformation underway in East Asia. China's enhanced economic standing in Asia has given her new political influence in the region as her trade with the neighbouring states, in particular the member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to her south, has been expanding rapidly in recent years. The stunning economic growth of China has created tremendous business opportunities and signed deals has been drawing increasing volume of foreign investment into this Asian giant that was described to have shaken the world – not with her armies, but with her factories. Whether this market is really that huge with potential as has often been presumed and taken for granted is today a topic hotly debated all over the world. With increasing number of foreign companies setting up their businesses in China and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area – projected to be the world's largest FTA covering 1.7 billion consumers with a combined GDP of US$2 trillion and to be completed within ten years from the setting of its framework agreement in November 2002 – poised to become the core of a broader East Asian economic zone in years to come, this paper attempts to explore the implications, opportunities and challenges arising with the establishment of the ACFTA, the achievement, prospect and challenges with respect to the Early Harvest Program (EHP) and Agreement on Trade in Goods (TIG), potential competition arising from the free flow of goods, impacts on growth, production sharing, possible trade diversion effects and institutional and other factors in market penetration, within the context of both global business linkages and domestic market nexus in the light of the expanding China-Malaysian bilateral trade and China's deepening partnership with ASEAN.

An Extension of Chinese Network Power?Jiang, Xang; Ravenhill, John (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: China is a latecomer to preferential trading agreements (PTAs), choosing to complete its accession to the WTO before embarking on negotiations for preferential agreements. Since 2001, China has become a very active player in such agreements, currently having concluded treaties or being in the process of negotiating them with close to 30 partners. China's approach to PTAs is characterized by pragmatism; rather than following the American and European practices of using a template for all partnerships, China has been willing to tailor agreements to the specific relationships it is pursuing. Like other governments, China has a mixture of motives in pursuing PTAs. In some relationships, diplomatic/strategic considerations are paramount. In others, China seeks to pursue various economic interests, one of the most significant of which has been security of supply of raw materials. China's various motivations in PTAs are examined through three case studies: the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement with Hong Kong; the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area; and the negotiation of a PTA with Australia.

Abstract: China's "soft power" re-emergence in Southeast Asia Johannes Dragsbaek Schmidt Associate Professor Research Center on Development and International Relations Aalborg University Email. firstname.lastname@example.com ABSTRACT Globalization is rapidly changing the overall structure of the international division of labor with the shift of services and manufacturing from the old industrialized economies to the new emerging giants - the global office platform in India and the global factory floor in China. This dislocation in production, services and manufacturing signifies a challenge which might be more important, but nevertheless part and parcel of the inherent imbalances in the world economy. Until recently there has been much academic and layman attention on over-production, growing inequalities, the increasing North-South gap, the roaring conflicts over energy and raw materials including oil and water, turbulence and crisis in the international financial system, and not least the fact that the present phase of capitalism has led to jobless growth in the established core economies in Europe and the United States. The question for the international political economy is where and how do countries like India and China fit in?

WTO Membership, Free Markets (?), Agricultural Subsidies and Clothing, Textile and Footwear QoutasHannan, Kate (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses three scenarios concerning China's recent trade negotiations and relations with the United States and the European Union. Chinese commentators and academics are sure that their country 'is firmly on the path of greater integration with the global economy' and that this is 'a path that has provided great benefits for China and for the world in general. However, they are also be well aware of the problems associated with entering a global economy where free trade/level playing field market principles have not ended either agricultural subsidies or import quotas on manufactured goods. Indeed, as argued in this paper, measures taken in the name of neo-liberal free market ideals have, ironically, spawned an ever-growing mass of quotas imposed by the EU and the US on the importation of Chinese clothing, footwear and textiles.

Hong, Zhao (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: China is now the world's second largest oil-consuming country after the U.S.. Its global efforts to secure oil imports to meet increasing domestic demand have profound implications for international relations in the Asia-Pacific region. China's rising oil demand and its external quest for oil have thus generated much attention. As China's overseas oil quest intensifies, will China clash with the U.S. and other western countries' interests in Africa, and how does it look at this rivalry? Will China disrupt the U.S. and its allies' foreign policy and the world order? China, oil strategy, African oil, U.S., energy rivalry URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7411

The Collapse of a Special RelationshipBrødsgaard, Kjeld Erik (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denmark was among the first countries in the world to recognize the People's Republic of China. The created a good foundation for the development of a special relationship between China and Denmark, culminating in Prime Minister, Poul Hartling's meeting with Mao in October 1974 and characterized by further intensification of political, economic and cultural relations from the beginning of the 1980s. The recent agreement to establish a joint Sino-Danish University Centre in Beijing constitutes yet another high point. However, there have also been incidents of tension and conflict. This paper will especially address three of these incidents: the "cartoon crisis" of August 1967, the Danish criticism of China's human rights record in the spring of 1997, and the controversy relating to the Dalai Lama's visit to Denmark in May 2009. It is argued that the costs of pursuing a policy towards China based on normative considerations have become too high and is difficult to harmonize with a new Danish foreign policy of active internationalism.

Singapore Chinese business strategies after failing in ChinaDahles, Heidi (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The focus of this paper is on the strategies applied by Singapore-Chinese businesses upon failing in their China business ventures. It has been argued that both the increase of Singapore ventures into China and the failures are due to either cultural issues (misinterpretation of 'shared ethnicity') or economic factors (differences in economic practices). Singapore businessmen apply inclusive strategies combining Western management styles with Chinese ways of doing business in order to reduce the risk involved with investments across national borders into China. Though largely successful, this strategy entails its own risks. Based on 10 case studies, this paper discusses the ways in which Singapore Chinese entrepreneurs respond upon failing in China and the strategies they develop to re-find their comfort zone for transnational business ventures.

Worm, Verner (København, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This chapter try to highlight some key elements of Chinese thinking described from a cultural and philosophical perspective starting with explaining the background for Chinese philosophy, mainly Confucianism followed by central concepts such as holism (ying/yang) and a discussion of the concept of change that appears to be somewhat unique because of the central position change occupies in the Chinese philosophy. More specific, but still important concepts like face, guanxi, the Middle way and paradoxes way are also elaborated on. For reference comparison is now and then made to western philosophy when it is found to clarify Chinese thought. Comparative philosophy brings together philosophical traditions that have developed in relative isolation from one another and that are defined quite broadly along cultural and regional lines -- Chinese versus Western is here chosen, but it is not to indicate that similar phenomena might not have appeared in other places in the world if not stated explicitly.

Understanding How Resource-Poor Firms Survive and ThriveLi, Xin (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In this paper, I first critique the composition-based view of Yadong Luo and John Child for understanding how resource-poor firms survive and thrive. To remedy the deficiencies in their perspective, I then propose a dynamic theory of compositional advantage and strategy. Here, the compositional advantage is redefined as the attractiveness of the composition of the producer's offering in terms of scope and perceived value/price ratio. I identify five ways or basic compositional strategies to improve the value/price ratio. A firm may have an overall compositional strategy that is composed of some or all of the five basic compositional strategies. I argue there are three indispensable key success factors for a composition-based competition, i.e., aspiration (ambition-position asymmetry), attitude (being ALERT), and action (turning asymmetry into advantage). I also discuss the particular relevance of the present theory to understanding Chinese firms. I conclude with managerial implications and suggestions for future research.

A tale of two paradigmsVorm, Werner; Li, Xin; Jakobsen, Michael; Xie, Piehong (Frederiksberg, 2015)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to describe the status of culture studies within the field of international business research, and to examine how two main paradigms – essentialism and social constructivism – relate to the discourse in this field. We analyze the main points of the two paradigms, and discuss how the relationship between them has evolved. Findings - We show that essentialism and social constructivism have a paradoxical relationship. They seem to be mutually exclusive, yet each offers unique insights into the notion of culture. Both are necessary for a complete understanding of culture, yet they cannot be integrated in any normal sense. We see the relationship between the two paradigms as paradoxical: that is, we see them as ontologically complementary yet epistemologically incommensurable. Taking inspiration from Bohr's principle of complementarity, we understand the two competing paradigms of culture studies as both necessary and yet as incompatible. Research limitations - Future research should help to improve the conceptual clarity with which the relationship between the two paradigms is portrayed here, thereby enhancing the empirical rigor of the argument we make in this paper. Practical implications – We encourage practitioners to learn how to switch, both sequentially and spatially, between the two paradigms of culture (fundamentally incommensurable though they are). This involves taking a "both/or" approach to the two paradigms. Originality/Value - We show for the first time that Bohr's complementarity principle is illustrative and useful for understanding the paradoxical relationship between essentialism and social constructivism. Inspired by two principles enunciated by Bohr – that of complementarity and that of classical concepts – we argue that the two competing paradigms are necessary yet 3 incommensurable. We therefore suggest that culture scholars switch between the two paradigms, instead of seeing each as negating the other. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9257

Kok-Kheng Yeoh, Émile (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Although China is not a federal country, its public finance system does carry features of fiscal federalism. Since 1949, although the central government has consistently sought to exercise strong control over the country, it has at times done so by decentralist rather than centralist policies. The Dengist policies since economic reform began, for example, have had a strongly decentralist element, with continuing devolvement of control to the provincial governments, sometimes to such a degree that some observers have commented: "the centre pretends to rule and the provinces pretend to be ruled". This is also a period that witnessed the revival of old regionalisms, as well as the creation of new regionalisms brought about by increased local autonomy, rapid economic growth and increasingly globalizing trade and business linkages. While the oft-cited "China deconstructs" scenario seems at present far-fetched, the challenges posed by central-peripheral conflicts, ethnic resource contest and ethnoterritorial aspirations are real, in particular as they are being exacerbated by the country's "retreat from equality�? and growing interregional economic disparity. In the light of these daunting exigencies, this paper explores the political economy of regional development in China, focusing on the intricate link between the country's ethnic diversity and the role of the State in the economy, as the Asian giant warily enters a new stage of economic reform.

Perspectives and ConsequencesJakobsen, Michael; Worm, Verner (Frederiksberg, 2018)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: International business (IB) studies revolve around two key perspectives that can be defined as a firm specific perspective and a generic perspective that combined provide a company with crucial insights into how to enter and navigate a foreign market. Combined, such an approach provides a company with a holistic perception of what kind of resources and capabilities that are needed when entering a specific market as well as what to expect of the host market that the company is planning to enter. The key issue here is how to design a research strategy that is to provide the analyst with data that makes him or her capable of developing a pertinent explanatory framework for how to engage a foreign market. Before starting to look for appropriate research methodologies and tools for data collection, however, a pertinent philosophy of science point of departure has to be selected. This article has chosen to discuss three different philosophies of science. Each one of them is capable of providing the analyst with a specific take on how to 'think' data that are being extracted. Arguably, whatever approach one selects, the choice will have a crucial impact on the outcome of the research process. After settling down on a specific philosophical of science the article moves on to apply this on the Danish shipping company Maersk Line. The key focus here is on how employees at headquarter and in selected subsidiaries 'read' the company's global corporate culture so as to be able to navigate this particular company to their own benefit as well as to the company' per se. The article closes with a critical discussion of the ramification of selecting one philosophy of science over another when engaging in either qualitative or quantitative research in an IB context.

Li, Xin (Frederiksberg, 2019)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Professor Peter Ping Li has made important contribution to the promotion of indigenous management research in China in general and application of Chinese Yin-Yang philosophy to organizational paradox research in particular. However, his interpretation of Yin-Yang is incomplete and inaccurate. Namely, his notion of Yin-Yang balancing relates to only one of five distinct epistemological expressions of Yin-Yang in the Chinese literature and its derived methodological prescription, i.e., Confucian principle of Zhong-Yong. Yet, his notion of Yin-Yang balancing is an inaccurate representation of Zhong-Yong due to his dogmatic insistence on asymmetry in the structure of combination of opposites that is not a prescription of the Zhong-Yong principle. Due to his incomplete understanding of Yin-Yang, he has not been able to see the value of the ambidexterity approach and its compatibility with the Yin-Yang thinking in particular and the similarity between Chinese and Western approaches to solving paradox in general. This paper alerts Chinese management scholars to the danger of overconfidence and Chinese exceptionalism and calls for a modest and prudent attitude in pursuing Chinese indigenous management research.

Testing for Pollution Haven Hypothesis for Indian StatesKathuria, Vinish (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper tries to see the role of the actual expenditure on pollution and control equipment in a particular State on the location choice of foreign firms in India. Based on Levinson (2001), we compute Industry-adjusted pollution abatement expenditure index for 25 States for different time periods using Annual Survey of Industries data to see if FDI inflow is affected by any variation in pollution abatement expenditure (reflecting environmental governance). The index compares the actual pollution abatement expenditure in a particular State, unadjusted for industrial composition, to the predicted abatement expenditure in the same State (where the predictions are based on nationwide abatement expenditures by industry and each State's industrial composition). If adjusted index is low for a State, this implies that the State has poor environmental governance and this would induce foreign firms to invest. In other words, our study tests for 'pollution haven' hypothesis. Our results do not find any evidence of pollution haven hypothesis for 21 Indian States. Other variables are more important in influencing foreign firms' decision than environmental stringency. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9289

Differential Effects of FDI on Wages and Employment in Indian ManufacturingSharma, Shruti (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper considers the differential effects of industry-level Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on plant-level employment and wages of skilled and unskilled workers of India's manu- facturing sector, based on the size of the plant. I find that there are strong positive differential effects to big plants in terms of employment and average wages of both skilled and unskilled workers relative to average sized and small plants with increased industry-level inward FDI. Further, this relative increase in employment of production workers at big plants is biased to- wards male workers. Average sized and smaller plants experience negative effects of inward FDI which can be explained in terms of intra-industry reallocation of output from smaller to bigger plants and poaching of higher quality production and skilled workers by bigger plants as industry-level FDI increases. However, in a more detailed analysis, I find that in regions where FDI inflows are large and persistent, there are strong positive effects in terms of increases in skill composition and wage-skill premium to both big and small plants alike. This suggests that for plants to experience positive effects of industry-level FDI, a critical mass of inward FDI needs to be achieved. The findings are important especially in the context of India's recent Make-in-India campaign which combined with the objectives of the National Manufacturing Policy and the National Skill Development Corporation strives to increase India's productive capacity in order to generate positive employment effects, and especially increase the pool of skilled workers in India's manufacturing sector.

Evidence from IndiaSasidharan, Subash; Padmaja, M. (Frederiksberg, 2016)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This study examines the role of financing constraints in explaining outward FDI decisions using unique firm level panel data on Indian manufacturing during the period 2007–2014. We consider the role of both internal finance and external finance in firm decisions on outward FDI and employ instrumental variable probit model to examine financing constraints in outward FDI decisions of firms. Further, using count data models, we examine financing constraints in determining strategies regarding number of affiliates abroad. The study shows that firms with higher cash flow and liquidity are likely to have more number of foreign affiliates. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9296

"I met Coach Winterton in 2007. Prior to that I had played competitively for 17 years. Coach Winterton helped me take my game to the next level. He is an excellent diagnostician. At the same time, he recognizes a player's uniqueness and customizes what will work and be effective for each player. As a former teacher, Coach Winterton is cognizant of individual learning styles and personalities. He has the ability to communicate with the player to achieve maximum results. There is a saying, "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" Coach Winterton taught this "old dog" a lot of new tricks, resulting in two National titles. I give him my highest recommendation."
Kevin Hayes Athlete
"Being a part of Coach Winterton's team has had a significantly positive influence on my game and ability to play. Just in the past 6 months, my game has started to improve dramatically. I was a middle to low B player before meeting Coach Winterton and would constantly get a sore back and shoulder by the end of a match. From my first lesson with him, he noticed my improper form on my backhand and brought me back to basics on my backhand returns. He created a custom series of drills and techniques for me that helped me learn the correct backhand and checked in on my progress regularly. By slight changes to my grip, stance, racquet prep and swing, I find that my body is much less sore then in the past; my power has increased significantly and I feel like I am using a third of the effort that I used to have to use in order to return a shot. I cannot wait to see what the next 6 months will bring!"

Thomas Carter Athlete
"Coach Winterton has been coaching me for almost three years now. In that time, I went from playing in the A and B divisions to playing in the pro qualifier and open divisions. I know for a fact that I would not have improved that fast if it wasn't for Coach. Not only has he helped out my game a ton, the one thing that really stands out to me is how much he cares about his athletes on an individual and personal level. Every time I go to Arizona to train with Coach, he treats me like family. Honestly, three years ago when I was deciding whether or not I wanted to sign up for the monthly program, I was hesitant. But looking back, I am so glad I did. Signing up for the monthly program made me commit to improving my game and also got me a coach who was committed to helping me achieve my goals, which combined allowed me to improve at an incredible rate. As I've said, I owe a lot of this improvement to Coach Winterton. Thanks Coach!"

Nataka Moore, Psy.D.
Core Faculty
My teaching philosophy is rooted in critical thinking and inquiry. While I believe it's important for students to take in facts and memorize key psychological concepts, I diligently challenge them to think beyond the material and identify loopholes or exceptions to the rule. I also create a safe environment where students can think, play around with ideas out loud, and receive feedback. In addition, I am always aware of the pulse of the room so I can be flexible. For example, I may have a lecture prepared, but if I feel students are confused or struggling with material, I will break them into groups to answer questions related to the material. Sometimes fellow students make the best teachers.
Finally, I want my students to understand the importance of diversity and social justice in the interpretation of material. Psychology is often grounded in conceptualizing how an individual can create change to better his or her life. Often, these frameworks are based on theories that historically ignored aspects of diversity. Thus, I challenge students to understand the limitation of theory and integrate linguistic and culturally appropriate paradigms in their understanding of individuals.

CC student section
I've recieved a couple emails about how ugly the CC students behaved Saturday in the Tigers' 3-1 win over DU, and decided to create a post so these people — including one a CC fan — can express their feelings publicly.
Personally, I'm somewhat immune to this topic, because I'm used to it. But there's no doubt that the games at DU aren't uniformly ugly, while at CC, it's a chorus of nonstop inappropriate language.
When I was hearing the F-bomb chants before, during and after Saturday's game, I caught myself thinking that I was glad my young son was not in attendance. I'm sure many CC adult fans felt the same way. It was an R-rated environment, one that CC officials should do something about.
It's not the language as much as the stupidity of using it in harmony and thinking it's cool.
If nothing else, someone needs to "teach" these kids that collective immaturity in a public setting is as wrong as disrespecting a professor. Go emulate the obnoxious kid next to you at the bar, not around the families that are there to watch a good hockey game together.
If this same stuff has happened at DU, then the message goes for both schools. I just noticed it Saturday. — MC

The Buzz on ex-CSU asst.
The few and the brave longtime Colorado State men's basketball followers will recall Buzz Williams, the recruiting dynamo of an assistant, who brought a pipeline of Texas talent to Fort Collins.
Not coincidentally, much of that Texas talent moved on, after Williams started climbing the coaching ladder.
First, he helped Billy Gillispie turn Texas A&M from a Big 12 doormat to an NCAA contender. He took a head coaching job at New Orleans, made it an instant Sun Belt competitor. After a year he bolted to Marquette citing post-Katrina facility issues.
Turns out, Williams can recruit more than Texas. Jersey City, N.J., St. Anthony standout Tyshawn Taylor told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the only way he wouldn't withdraw his request for a scholarship release is if Williams succeeds new Indiana coach Tom Crean at the Big East school.
Williams' voice mail box was naturally full Wednesday morning. So a text exchange followed. He said he'll go to Indiana if he doesn't get the top job at Marquette and meanwhile "pray 4my wife + kids" facing the prospect of another yet another move.
Just a week ago, his name was linked as an outside shot for the TCU job. While he was still at New Orleans, Williams was very interested in last spring's CSU vacancy. ….
Former CSU turned Liberty coaches Dale Layer and Ritchie McKay, have a letter-of-intent from Seth Curry a 6-0 guard who is the younger brother of NCAA Tournament sensation Stephen Curry of Davidson.
Looks like CSU isn't the only college in the area firing coaches. The difference between Pam Tanner's release at Denver and Jen Warden's dismissal last week in Fort Collins? Tanner, like Layer a year ago, showed nothing but class with a prepared statement praising the institution and wishing the school well.
Warden, who gets paid for five years for just five regular season conference wins in three seasons (one fewer than Tanner had this past season) made herself unavailable for comment, and when she inadvertently answered a call offered "no comment" to a variety of questions.
Oh yes, the message on Warden's cell phone is "I can't wait to talk to you."

2. Use soap that has olive oil extract to clean the stain. Here's how; put olive oil soap into warm water. Dip a white clean cloth to the water, then brush the stain gently in one direction until clean. Dry the shoes naturally, but don't put it directly under the sunshine, because it can make the color fade.

Gardens of Fairview 2017 Tour — Getting to Know Our Growers
As my AmeriCorps Project Conserve service with OGS winds down, I have a lot of fond memories of the food and farm folk I've met in the last eleven months. One such opportunity was the Gardens of Fairview Tour in June. The tour has grown beyond a focus on food security to include arts and crafts as well as presentations on community gardening, attracting butterflies, caring for bees, green building and permaculture, and year-round gardening. It's a shared vision creating community around food and the places in which people grow it. Love it!

Like many official MLB team broadcasters, NESN features a program centered around the squad's manager. (NESN's version is helpfully titled The Bobby Valentine Show.)
The network is asking fans to submit questions for Valentine today via Twitter using the #AskBobby hashtag. Unfortunately for NESN, there's already an #AskBobby campaign happening on Twitter today featuring Bobby Horan, father to Niall Horan of the smash boyband One Direction. (It's not clear if Bobby Horan is actually on Twitter or if people are pretending to be him; regardless, One Direction fans are submitting all manner of questions.) So here's some of the questions Bobby Valentine may answer on his TV show:
