The United States on Friday imposed a range of tariffs on European goods, including pork, dairy products and other foods. While the US is not the main market for Lithuanian exporters, they fear that big EU producers, forced to sell their produce at home, will create a glut in Europe.
Washington's tariffs follow a permission from the World Trade Organization to recoup USD 7.5 billion (€6.7 billion) of alleged losses the US suffered because of EU subsidies for Airbus.
The plan includes 10-percent duties on Airbus planes and 25 percent for European agricultural products.
The duties apply to Lithuanian dairy products, pork, fruit and juice.
Lithuanian pig farmers say they do not expect to be hit very hard by the tariffs, because exports to the US have been relatively small.
“Meat processors export some produce, but the amounts aren't big,” says Algis Baravykas, the president of the Pig Growers' Association. “Sure, there have been efforts to enter this market, [...] but so far we shouldn't put our hopes up about it.”
Lithuania exports much more of its pork to Latvia and Poland than the US, Baravykas says, adding that the loss of the Russian market several years ago, when Moscow imposed an embargo on EU food imports in retaliation for sanctions, was a more painful hit.
Meanwhile Lithuanian dairy processors fear that the US tariffs will create a glut in Europe.
“One problem is that Lithuanian dairy processors won't be able to export chesses [to the US]. [...] The second problem is that other big EU countries won't be able to export their chesses. They will stay in Europe and will have to be sold somewhere else, or cheese makers will have to diversify into other products,” says Egidijus Simonis, the head of Pieno Centras, the association of the country's three biggest dairy processors.
Countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Italy and Ireland are big cheese exporters to the US, he says, and markets like China and Japan would not be able to replace it.
“The amounts of produce that will stay here can't be sold quickly in those other markets, because consumption is not growing,” according to Simonis.
Žygimantas Mauricas, a chief economist at Luminor bank, says Washington's move, while not likely to hurt Lithuanian producers directly, raises the risk of a trade war.
“The effects of the planned tariffs will not be big in the beginning, either for the EU or Lithuania. Especially since the US dollar has appreciated in relation to the euro in recent years and the strong dollar will offset the tariffs,” according to Mauricas.
“There is nothing much we as a country can do, except stay on course and campaign for free trade in the world, for as little restrictions as possible,” the Lithuanian economist says. “And businesses shouldn't put all their eggs into one basket, bearing in mind that interferences are possible in trade with the US.”

A little more than one year has passed since the first release of the label ITALO MODERNI, however, the Spanish imprint has already achieved international recognition amidst the lovers of Italo Disco, Synthwave, and EBM out there. Curated by young, handsome (seriously, the dude looks like a top model), and acclaimed DJ and producer Adrian Marth (SXDNS188), the Barcelona-based label is second to none when it comes to releasing top-notch 80s-infused themes. The volume II of Its compilation series, “Modernation”, soon to be released on cassette and digital formats, amasses a true dream team of wizards, such as Kid Machine, Ali Renault, Daniel Monaco (SXDNS137), Luca Dell’Orso, Marcello Giordani, and REES, just to name a few, and delivers an impressive concoction of cosmic sounds.
We felt greatly honoured with the solicitation of premiering one of the tracks and got mega happy when discovered the track was by one of our favourite UK artists: REES’s contribution to the compilation, “Amsterdamse Bos”, is an actual showcase of his competent production skills. The frolicsome synth layer combined with the bouncing bassline provides an optimistic music message – exactly what we all may be in need at the moment.
You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label.

News has filtered through the Royal Challengers Bangalore have decided to name an interim captain to lead their side instead of the injured Virat Kohli. (RCB have named an interim captain in place of Virat Kohli )
Kohli suffered a shoulder injury in the third test match against Australia and will now miss a handful of matches for the RCB in this year’s edition of the IPL.
In place of Kohli, Shane Watson has been named the captain of the side and will take charge of this team until Kohli returns. This is not the first time that Watson has captained an IPL side.

“Virat Kohli, the RCB Captain will be missing the first few matches of the VIVO Indian Premier League owing to an unfortunate shoulder injury. His presence on field is dependent on him passing the fitness tests and we hope for a strong recovery for him,” team chairman Amrit Thomas was quoted as saying by an official media release.
“In the interim, Shane Watson, will lead the RCB team as the stand-in captain. (RCB have named an interim captain in place of Virat Kohli ) Shane has been one of the top performers and a great mentor for the team, making him an ideal choice to lead the team this season till Virat is back on field,” the release added.

Malvern-based Baudax Bio is selling a little over 11.8 million shares of its common stock in a public stock offering that is expected to raise $6.2 million, writes John George for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The pharmaceutical company is offering its stock at 52.5 cents per share together with accompanying common stock purchase warrants that have the same exercise price per share.
Tuesday’s announcement brought the company’s stock tumbling down by 46 percent to nearly 31 cents per share.
According to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Baudax Bio plans to use the stock sale proceeds for “pipeline development activities” and various corporate purposes, including to cover research and development costs and manufacturing costs.
The company currently has one product on the market, a non-opioid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Anjeso. The intravenous drug is approved by the FDA for the management of moderate to severe pain. It is used in hospitals and other acute care settings.
Anjeso received marketing clearance in early 2020. During the second quarter of 2022, the drug generated revenue of $300,000. That is a 49 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

Now isn’t this cool. Over the years we’ve seen Chris Ryniak tackle many a monster; we’ve seen his interpretation of Rayolas, of Stitches and of Buff Monsters. He’s even taken on YHWH. But it wasn’t until last year’s Late Season at Stranger Factory that I saw my first 100% genuine Chris Ryniak ghost.
This was really interesting to me. Up until then, I’ve always viewed Chris’ creatures as being very real, substantial, living creatures. They leave foot prints and trails of slobber, scavenge your crumbs and roam the wooded areas. But then I saw this and it changed everything:
This is Ryniak’s ‘How It’s Made’. It’s a ghost-type creature eating candy corn … and, uh, producing recycled leaf matter :)
I was instantly wowed when I saw this as it was the first time I had seen the tangible and phantasmal collide in Chris’ universe.
Fast forward to now and he teases this on Instagram (@chrisryniak), calling it “spooky leftovers”:
It’s armature, yes. But look at the sketch. “Spooky leftovers”? Sounds like a ghost with an appetite. Which would certainly fit Chris’ MO, not to mention that Le Carnaval des Spectres is creeping up real fast. Eeeee!
With themes centred around ghosts, spirits and early American spiritualism, the CP gang is sure to pull out all of their best tricks for this one. They live for this. And let’s be honest: we’re due for a good haunt.
Le Carnaval des Spectres is a Circus Posterus group exhibition featuring new works from Brandt Peters, Kathie Olivas, Travis Louie, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Louise Spayd and Teodoru Badiu. The event opens Sept. 13th at Artoyz Shop + Galerie in Paris, France.

BMW teams up with Italian styling gurus at Pininfarina for slick new coupe
London black cab maker in administration
Manganese Bronze Holdings plc, makers of the iconic London black cab, has called in the administrators.
Its board released a statement to the London Stock Exchange this morning, revealing that its efforts to secure further funding to keep the business afloat had proved unsuccessful, and it was no longer a going concern.
In recent weeks, the Coventry-based London Taxi Company, a subsidiary of Manganese Bronze Holdings plc, had been dogged by issues relating to faulty steering boxes in its TX4 model, which led to more than 400 taxis being recalled.
Its stock-market quoted parent company then had its shares suspended from trading earlier this month – and sales of the TX4 halted – as it continued to try and find a solution to the issues with its power steering. The problems appear to centre around a new design of steering box, reported to have been sourced from a new Chinese supplier since February this year.
Its Chinese manufacturing partner Geely, with whom it jointly owns a Shanghai-based production facility, is believed to have introduced the new supplier to the company.
The firm sold 1,502 taxis in the UK last year – a decline of 9.1% on the previous year’s figure – and its parent company Manganese recorded a £3.1m loss in the first half of 2012.
It’s understood the steering box issues have not put anyone in danger – although some press reports have quoted the company as saying “in extreme cases, it could affect the ability to steer the steering wheel”.
The London Taxi Company employs 300 people across its Coventry manufacturing facility and a network of six wholly owned retail sites. Parent company Manganese issued a profit warning in January which revealed it had made no profit in 2011 and would struggle to match market expectations in 2012.
Could this be the end of London’s world-famous black cabs? We certainly hope not.

Early Treatise for “Violoncello”
This cello treatise from the end of the 1700's includes notational examples, exercises for first practice, and musical selections. Some of those selections are directly from the prominent Italian cellist Giacobbe Cervetto, d. 1783. What's more, there are even Folk tunes incorporated into the selections. The end of the treatise includes a short Dictionary of terminology.
Early History of the Cello
"The Violoncello and Its History" the Introduction. Joseph Wasielewski wrote a 200+ page book about the cello, where it came from, its development, and the musicians who made it happen. This is a short observation regarding the introduction of the book, which deals mostly with the viola da gamba from which the cello is derived.

'I just went crazy on him,' says Dolphins fan to Port St. Lucie police
What may have started as trash talk between a Miami Dolphins fan and a New York Jets fan ended with trips to the hospital and jail, according to a recently released arrest affidavit.
Joshua Grayson, 22, told Port St. Lucie police the Aug. 30 early morning incidents kicked off as he hung out with another person watching football in Port St. Lucie.
Grayson said he's a "big football fan" and that the Dolphins are his team. He said the other man, identified as the victim, is a Jets supporter. They started arguing about how each team was better, and the victim poked him in the forehead.
Grayson said the victim made fun of the Dolphins, saying they "lose all the time."
Grayson started using harsh language, and said the victim pushed him. Grayson said when he went to push the victim back, the victim punched him in the eye. Grayson said he hit the victim about 15 times in the face and threw him head first on the concrete driveway. At one point the victim partially fell face first in a recycling bin of glass bottles, which shattered.
Grayson said the victim then rode away on a bicycle.
Meanwhile, the victim said Grayson is his best friend. He said that about 2 a.m. Grayson started arguing with his girlfriend. The victim yelled at Grayson for fueding with his girlfriend, and the victim and Grayson hit each other. The victim said he left, and went to a friend's home nearby.
He said Grayson showed up about 4 a.m. with two other people. He said Grayson and another person approached with PVC pipes, and he was hit several times.
"Look, I have an anger problem and whooped his (buttocks) really bad," Grayson is quoted as saying. "I use(d) to wrestle and I took it too far. I can't believe I did all of this with a broken ankle. I've had a broken ankle for one day because I broke it while riding a dirt bike. I want to be honest with what happened and not lie. The entire pipe thing was probably made up so (the victim) wouldn't go to jail, too ... I just went crazy on him."
Asked whether he had a PVC pipe, Grayson said, "No, I wouldn't even know where to get one at this time of night."
Police got conflicting statements and found no independent witnesses.
The victim was taken to the hospital. Investigators were told he sustained "extremely bad injuries."
Grayson, of the 1500 block of Southeast Appamattox Terrace in Port St. Lucie, was arrested on an aggravated battery charge and taken to the St. Lucie County jail.

Review by Ellie Thompson
On May 7, 1915, nearly 100 years ago, the Lusitania, a British luxury ocean liner was torpedoed by German U-20 off the coast of Ireland. It took eighteen minutes to sink; it took thirteen hours and four minutes for Erik Larson to tell the fascinating story in his newest non-fiction book, Dead Wake. Brilliantly written, meticulously researched and beautifully read by Scott Brick, this captivating account of the sinking of the Lusitania during WWI maintains suspense even while we know the fateful ending for all but 764 of the 1259 passengers aboard. This historical narrative is filled with secrets, lies, disaster and romance. The political strategy and intrigue involving Germany, England and the United States during this period of WWI is told from each country’s perspective. The reader also learns about the personal lives of the people involved in this tragic drama as well as daily life aboard both the luxury liner and aboard the claustrophobic U-boat.
Erik Larson brings history to life once again, just as he did so successfully in The Devil in the White City and The Garden of Beasts. This is a must read for those who want to be entertained and educated at the same time.
Check availability on the audiobook of Dead Wake today!

A 15-year-old boy has suddenly and unexpectedly collapsed and died in the middle of a restaurant during an evening out with family and friends.
The teen was eating at Browns Restaurant in Liverpool, England, over the weekend when he suddenly collapsed.
Liverpool Echo reports that members of the staff and others tried to resuscitate the boy while paramedics were en route but he was unresponsive.
Paramedics rushed him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
“Emergency services were called to Browns Restaurant on Paradise Street at about 5.50 pm following reports that a teenager, who was with family and friends had collapsed,” a Merseyside Police spokesperson said.
“A number of members of the public and staff at the restaurant had provided medical assistance prior to the emergency services attending,” police added.
“The teenager was taken to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital where sadly he died a short time later.”
Police said that the death “is not believed to be suspicious, and a file is being prepared for the Coroner.”
“Next of kin have been spoken to and specialist officers are supporting the family at this tragic time,” police added.

In 2003, President Adrik Annan ceded half of Porto Pacis to the Promised Land in accordance to the Porto Pacis Conference. Later in 2007, the remainder of the Porto Pacis District was ceded to the Promised Land.
GeographyEditThe City was vast with an approximate 30 mile diameter from the geographical center. The most dense urbanization was located in the southwestern portion of the territory.
The harbor of Porto Pacis is vast and rivals those of even Endor Cuidad and Porto Georgiaville. Porto Pacis was designed to be a forward port for shipping and receiving goods. Millions of tonnage goes through Porto Pacis annually. The most common nation which trades through Porto Pacis is Bradavia, the Coalition Member situated in New Zealand who trades Iron and Lead with J Andres.
The Military Installation of Porto Pacis was another primary reason for the expansion, allowing J Andres to have an advance base, especially for the navy, but for the army as well. This allowed J Andres to assert its strength in both hemispheres of the globe.
Due to the terms used in the colonization of the Pacis District, the "colony" was technically an "Administrative District" meaning all residents were J Andres citizens and had representation in the Commune and were eligible to vote in J Andres National Elections, whereas other colonies such as JAD Land did not have representation.

Grant County Commission discusses final fiscal year 2018 adjustments 073018
[Editor's Note: This is the third and final article of a multi-part series of articles on the Grant County Commission special meeting held July 30, 2017. This is completed thanks to Sandra Michaud recording the meeting for this author.]

In the final agenda items for the Grant County Commission meeting held July 30, 2018, for the purpose of meeting deadlines, County Financial Officer Linda Vasquez presented the adjustments to the closure of fiscal year 2018 by amending the approved and adopted budget for the year.

At the special meeting on July 30, 2018, Grant County Commission Chairman Billy Billings introduced the next item on the agenda by saying he had requested it be there for discussion.
"It's a discussion on the essential air service and our decision to go with Advanced Air," Billings said. "I've been getting questions and making responses to the U.S. Department of Transportation. My understanding is that, although the department has made decisions on other locations, they still haven't made a decision on our airport. I will meet with the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the DOT. When I put it on our agenda, I didn't know if other commissioners had seen the communications from Boutique Air to the DOT. He's putting out information that is not correct. I responded to the DOT and have been back and forth with them. I was at the Boutique presentation. His communication led some to believe that commissioners had no chance to be present."

The first item of new business at the Grant County Commission special meeting featured a presentation regarding the Gila National Forest proposed decommissioning of already closed roads in the Burro Mountains, discussion on Burro Mountains ATV trails and an additional conversation on use of roads in the Bear Creek area.
Beth Ihle, on temporary assignment to fill the Silver City District Ranger position, said the first proposal would be to take out of service a portion of the closed roads to restore the productivity of the area with vegetation. "It would be in compliance with the Travel Management Plan, while making sure that we are not limiting the use to someone with a permit or resource need. We are looking at the maps and asking about the utility of these closed roads."

This is the first in a series of articles on the Asia insurance marketplace. Part two in this series will focus on India and will appear in a September issue of Insurance Journal.
“Let China Sleep, for when she wakes, she will shake the world,” (Napoleon Bonaparte). The French Emperor’s warning, uttered some 200 years ago, rang hollow for most of that time, as China suffered through the wars, social upheavals and revolutions of the 20th century. The world’s oldest continuous civilization and most populous country, greater than the United States, Europe, Russia and Japan combined, seemed to be sinking ever deeper into chaos. However, as China modernizes and the economy expands, those words are sounding increasingly prescient.
The economy of the People’s Republic of China has awakened, and the consequences are being felt around the world. Toys, household appliances, tools, electronics, clothes and other manufactured goods are pouring from China’s factories in record numbers. China now consumes more oil than any other country, except the United States. Consumption jumped 30 percent last year. Around 30,000 new cars hit Beijing’s already crowded streets each month. China now consumes more coking coal and iron ore in making steel than any other country. Its ancient cities are being transformed into modern skyscraper carpeted tracts at breakneck speed. The pace of growth has inevitably created strains.
The Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) “Factbook” on China points out some of the many paradoxes it has engendered. “In 2003, with its 1.3 billion people, but a GDP of just $5,000 per capita, China stood as the second-largest economy in the world after the United States (measured on a purchasing power parity basis). Agriculture and industry have posted major gains, especially in coastal areas near Hong Kong and opposite Taiwan, where foreign investment has helped spur output of both domestic and export goods. The leadership, however, often has experienced—as a result of its hybrid system—the worst results of socialism (bureaucracy and lassitude) and of capitalism (windfall gains and growing income disparities).”
By other economic measures, such as GNP, China normally ranks sixth, but as its economic growth continues, an estimated 9.7 percent in the first quarter of 2004, it can only get larger. According to the latest Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) figures China overtook the United States last year as the biggest recipient of foreign direct investment, receiving $53 billion, compared to $40 billion for the U.S.
The insurance sector has grown steadily along with the economy. Gross assets reached a record high of 1.0359 trillion yuan ($126.3 billion) at the end of May 2004. Premiums totaled 338.04 billion yuan ($40.87 billion) in 2003, a 27.1 percent increase over 2002. Reports quoted Wu Xiaoping, vice-chairman of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission (CIRC), as indicating that the amount of disposal capital of the country’s fledging insurance sector stood at 952.4 billion yuan ($116.1 billion).
The world acknowledged China’s progress by admitting the country to the World Trade Organization (WTO) in December 2001, after a 15-year campaign. Along the way, all parties made some significant compromises, especially with the United States and the European Community on trade. As a prelude to its WTO admission China concluded a Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) pact with the United States in 2000. It was a step strongly supported by the insurance industry. When the House approved the measure, AIG’s Maurice R. “Hank” Greenberg commented that the vote “shows there is a bipartisan consensus in support of engagement with China. Republicans and Democrats alike recognize that the best way to promote positive change in China is to trade with China.”
He didn’t mention that AIG was already doing some substantial “trade” with China, but the EU trade negotiators did. AIG’s insistence on preserving its right to have wholly owned Chinese subsidiaries was one of the last hurdles to be overcome before China joined the WTO. Greenberg mounted a spirited defense, pointing out that AIG had been founded in China in 1919, and was the first company to return there in 1992 when no other company would. AIG won the right to establish two more branches (it had four), before it has to play by the normal rules, which require 50 percent ownership with a Chinese partner.
On joining the WTO, China made a number of additional commitments to further reduce barriers to entry in its insurance market and to allow foreign carriers greater latitude to operate there. Subsequent reports on that progress usually describe it as “mixed.” The Communist Party and its attendant bloated, and in many cases corrupt, bureaucracy still rules the country politically. In that respect, China remains a totalitarian state. But the economy is increasingly run by the private sector—at least the part that is most successful. It is this market that attracts the AIG’s, HSBC’s and Swiss Re’s, not the masses of poor people, 50 percent of whom—according to the CIA Factbook—make up the country’s agricultural labor force.
The rigid political system has caused other problems as well. China’s state-owned banks, forced to lend to inefficient state enterprises, have accumulated a mountain of bad debt, estimated to be at least $200 billion. Despite ongoing reform efforts, the Chinese legal system is generally seen as arbitrary, and heavily influenced by local politicians and businessmen. Ironically, China’s growth is putting ever-increasing strains on its infrastructure, especially in the critical energy sector with brownouts and even blackouts becoming more common. The government recently announced plans to slow down the economy in order to try and catch up.
None of this has kept the world’s insurers, brokers and service providers from seeking to invest in China, but it has made them more cautious. Under the umbrella organization, the U.S.-China Business Council (USCBC), representatives from a number of industries, insurance included, monitor China’s progress on implementing the commitments it made when it joined the WTO.
In its report “China’s WTO Implementation: A Mid-Year Assessment,” published in June 2003, the USCBC identified five specific commitments China had made to implement insurance sector reforms as follows:
• Permit wholly foreign-owned subsidiaries of foreign nonlife insurers.
• Reduce to 10 percent the mandatory cession to China Reinsurance Co. of all lines of primary risk for nonlife personal accident and health insurance business.
• Allow foreign life and nonlife insurers and insurance brokers to provide services in Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Ningbo, Shenyang, Suzhou, Tianjin, Wuhan, and Xiamen.
• Permit foreign nonlife insurers to provide the full range of nonlife insurance services to both foreign and domestic clients.
• Reduce insurance brokers’ asset requirements to $300 million.
In October 2003, the organization presented a two-year progress report to a U.S. government committee. It “voiced concern over China’s apparent loss of momentum in fulfilling key commitments required of the country as conditions of its entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO),” including some of its commitments on insurance.
In February of this year, however, USCBC President Robert A. Kapp, in testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, stated: “The very end of 2003 saw movement by China on some of the outstanding issues of its WTO membership, and further movement is expected in early 2004.” In his review of the insurance sector, Kapp noted that “five new cities were opened to foreign nonlife insurance companies by Dec. 12, 2003. By the end of 2004, geographic restrictions on foreign insurers are scheduled to be eliminated. Serious disagreements, however, remain in the area of Chinese regulations regarding the corporate structures required for branching.” The CIRC applies the 1995 basic insurance law, which requires each branch to be independently capitalized “with a minimum of two hundred million yuan (RMB 200,000,000),” around $25 million.
For all of the problems and caveats, the world’s insurers and financial services companies continue to avidly pursue opportunities in China. Everyone’s afraid the train will leave the station, and they won’t be on board. Some of the more recent major initiatives have included the following:
• General Re is licensed to operate as a composite reinsurance company in China on a nationwide basis.
• Willis receives permission from the CIRC to complete the purchase of a 50 percent equity stake in Shanghai Pudong Insurance Brokers Ltd.
• Zurich’s Emerging Markets Solutions, the company’s political risk and trade credit insurance unit, signs a memorandum of understanding with the China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, also known as Sinosure.
• France’s SCOR Group submits an application to the CIRC for a reinsurance license to “reinforce and develop its non-life reinsurance business activities in China.”
• Allianz Chairman and CEO Michael Diekmann on a visit to Shanghai stresses the German giant’s long-term commitments there, and states that the Group’s business in China “has already contributed 5 percent to Allianz Group’s gross written premiums in 2003.”
• Met Life gets CIRC approval for its 50/50 venture with the owner of the Beijing International Airport.
• HSBC announces it has a 24.9 percent stake in a joint venture with two Chinese investment companies to create Beijing HSBC Insurance Brokers Ltd.
• GAB Robins Group receives approval from the CIRC to become the first global loss-adjusting firm to provide services to the Chinese insurance industry.
• Swiss Re officially opens the company’s China branch office in Beijing.
• AIG makes an investment in PICC Property and Casualty Company Limited, China’s largest P/C insurer, acquiring a 9.9 percent stake. Shortly thereafter PICC raises $693 million in an initial public offering.
• Liberty Mutual receives approval to open an office in Chonquing, marking the company’s entry into the Chinese P/C market.
• Munich Re becomes the first international reinsurer to receive a countrywide composite reinsurance operating license from the CIRC.
Even before the PICC deal was announced AIG was the largest foreign insurer in China. With that transaction, it can now access a distribution network, which “serves approximately 70 percent of the country’s general insurance market with over 128,000 agents and sales representatives throughout China.” No wonder AIG is seen as the 800-pound gorilla of the Chinese foreign insurance market.
As China rushes headlong into the modern world, it has changed, and it will continue to change, but at its own pace, and for its own reasons. For the most part foreign companies are pursuing the West’s age-old dream of deriving huge profits from China.
The CIRC’s Web site, available in English at: www.chinaonline.com/refer/ministry_profiles/circl3.asp, presents the Chinese view of their usefulness. It “hopes that introducing foreign insurers gradually will bring in advanced technologies, sales techniques, and management know-how and give [Chinese] companies added impetus to hone their edge. The competitiveness of liability insurance for infrastructure construction, property and life insurance has been enhanced by China’s recent colossal infrastructure investment and housing and health care reforms.” That was written in 2000, but Chinese political officials haven’t significantly altered their views.
That may change in certain respects, as the regulators begin to realize, perhaps due to the expanding presence of the foreign companies, that the nature of China’s government is basically incompatible with a free market in insurance. China’s mixed economy, much of which is still state-owned, is at least partly to blame for what CIRC Chairman Wu Dingfu characterized as inefficiency and lack of credit. The official Xinhua news agency quoted him as saying that, “the insurance business neither met the needs of society nor played the role it should though it grew rapidly in recent years.” As an example, while private insurance coverage plays a major role in providing disaster relief in Western countries, the government still shoulders the bulk of responsibility in China.
He also described another concern in terms that Western companies can certainly appreciate, noting that the irrational pursuit of premium growth has led to such problems as inadequate reserves in insurance companies and increased business risk. Even China it seems is troubled by the cycle.
There is still great reluctance, however, to change the system. Since China began its market reforms, both the economy and the people as a whole have benefited, but the country’s leaders haven’t forgotten the years of humiliation imposed by foreign domination. Political control is still rigidly enforced, even as economic control is being loosened. For the moment it works, as life has gotten a good deal better for a large number of Chinese, especially the business community.
China has always proved adept at adopting useful techniques and innovations from what used to be called “the barbarians.” The country’s entrepreneurs, who are now free to make deals, then offer those products faster and cheaper. But for all its growing strength, China’s modernization is still fragile; therefore the leaders make changes only slowly. If this is seen in the West as foot dragging, or “pushback,” those leaders see it as the only possible way to proceed.
Wei-Wei Zhang, a senior research fellow at the Modern Asia research Center in Geneva, recently commented in an editorial in the International Herald Tribune that “China is now the largest laboratory of economic, social and political change in human history.” He saw an emerging consensus emanating from China’s new leaders, President Hu Jingtao and Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, “that there should be a more substantial political reform to limit the power of the bureaucracy, promote the rule of law and make the state more transparent and accountable to the people.” Eventually this would result in more democracy and more rights for individuals. He warned, however that “a strong state is likely to be maintained … to ensure overall political stability.”
China will continue to modernize, if for no other reason than it has to, and the insurance industry will continue to derive a good deal of benefit from it. After all, those new drivers, new buildings and the expanding middle class need to be insured, and China doesn’t have sufficient capital at present to underwrite the burgeoning risks.
Wei-Wei Zhang concluded that the transformation of the Chinese State is inevitable, “but it is likely to be gradual, pragmatic and accumulative, in much the same way as China’s economic reforms unfolded.” Whatever else may happen in China, as rock and roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis once sang, there’s a “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.”

Boeing has suspended deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner aircraft after another fuselage-related issue recently surfaced. The manufacturer calls this a “mistake” made during testing, and is confident that there are no immediate threats to the operating fleet.
Recall that earlier Boeing suspended deliveries of 787s for more than a year due to manufacturing shortcomings. The current situation immediately led to a drop in the company's shares by almost 3 percent.
Boeing temporarily halted deliveries of its Dreamliners after it was revealed that the components of their fuselage needed further examination. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does not hide: deliveries will not be resumed until it is fully satisfied with the explanations of quality experts. The agency also said it is working with Boeing on a list of actions that may be required for newly delivered aircraft.
Boeing, in turn, issued a statement explaining the problem: “In reviewing the certification records, Boeing discovered an error made by our supplier. The issue is related to the forward pressurized bulkhead of the 787. We have notified the FAA and have suspended shipments of the 787 until we complete the necessary analysis and close the documentation.
The manufacturer assured that the operated fleet has no immediate safety problems. Boeing is in contact with customers and will continue to follow FAA guidance. According to those responsible, the suspension will affect short-term deliveries, but “will not affect the fulfillment of production forecasts and annual deliveries.”

The reports about Andrew Brunson’s release are just another example of how little the media know about evangelical churches.
Every time a story about an evangelical pastor or missionary appears in the Spanish media, the same mistakes happen. In the last twenty years or so, some newspapers may have received dozens of letters asking for corrections.
This week, Pedro Tarquis, Director of Areópago Protestante (the group to which Evangelical Focus belongs), contacted the national newspaper El País to warn them about the incorrect terms used in their report about the release of Andrew Brunson, described as an “Evangelist priest”. At the same time, Pedro Puigvert, Director of the Síntesis magazine, sent a letter to the ombudsman of La Vanguardia, another national newspaper, asking to amend a similar mistake in their story.
The question is: Why is every faith story in Southern Europe media ends up being “catholicised”?
The ombudswoman of El País, Lola Galán, admitted that “too frequently we confuse the terminology when we talk about religious issues. Sometimes, this even happens with references to Catholicism, which has been the majority religion of Spaniards for centuries”. Galán said she would remind “our writers and chief editors to make sure they are more careful with this”.
Suso Pérez, ombudsman of La Vanguardia, responded to Pedro Puigvert’s letter admitting that “it is not easy to eradicate certain routines”, but “your letter helps us not only to pay attention, but as a reminder to all areas of our newspaper that we are still doing the same mistakes”.
There are three usual mistakes one can find in the Spanish general press.
Firstly, media speak of “evangelical mass” (In Spanish: ‘misa evangélica’) when they write about evangelical services (‘culto evangélico’). The difference may seem unimportant, but it is relevant because evangelicals disagree with the theological implications of a Roman Catholic mass.
Another frequent confusion is when the word “evangelist” (‘evangelista’) – which refers to the authors of the four Gospels or to someone who does evangelism – is confused with the term “evangelical” (‘evangélico’), which defines the faith group.
Finally, the press tends to get confused when it refers to “priests” (‘sacerdotes’) instatead of “pastors” (‘pastores’).
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO USE THE RIGHT WORDS?
Language has the capacity of visibilising or invisibilising groups of people, especially when they are a minority in society. One can understand that incorrect uses happen by mistake - but apologies in private would be even more helpful if they were made in public as well.
Another problem would be that some of those who use Catholic language to refer to evangelicals do so on purpose. We believe this is not the case of El País or La Vanguardia, but one could suspect others may feel tempted to dilute the Protestant reality now that some revisionists are working hard to erase the History of Spanish persecution against minorities (evangelicals and other groups).
We thank these two leading newspapers for their rectification. We hope next time an evangelical community appears in the media they are represented accurately.

The islands off the coast of Scotland provide the chance to view wildlife such as otters, seals, dolphins and even whales, while also offering the very popular itineraries around the famed Scottish whisky producing islands. On most Round Britain voyages cruise lines will endeavour to bring in interesting and enlightening lecture series from experts increasing the attractive proposition of this itinerary.
Most itineraries include a call at St Peter Port on the Channel Island of Guernsey, where tax free shopping is possible whilst at the same time giving the ship duty free status, while occasionally, an additional French port of call may be offered, usually Honfleur or Cherbourg.

Michael Maker is making it happen.
The second-year graduate student at Northeastern University, who is studying electrical and computer engineering leadership, says his willingness to “jump into the deep end of the pool”—to learn and take on leadership responsibilities—is paying dividends.
He’s now working for a company in Bonn, Germany, as a project manager for preclinical trials of a promising vision-perception device.
It’s great work for anyone, much less a graduate student, and he credits his success to the Gordon Engineering Leadership Program, which provides an innovative model for training engineering leaders through the College of Engineering.
Maker is a fellow of the one-year graduate program aimed at building a future corps of engineering leadership professionals through immersive learning. The program also seeks to develop in its fellows several intangible assets, such as outstanding character, self-esteem, and focused ambition.
Working for Intelligent Medical Implants, Maker oversees the preclinical trials in the United States of a promising device to treat retinal disease.
A “point person” working mostly out of Boston, and occasionally from the Bonn headquarters, Maker is helping oversee testing of the device, which helps stimulate the retina and improve the processing of visual input for people with retinal disease.
“This fellowship put me in the deep end of the pool from day one,” Maker says. “I’m a project manager. It’s a trial by fire, but it’s the best experience I’ve ever had.”
It’s an experience with benefits.
Not only is the company paying Maker for his work, it is also covering his Northeastern graduate-school tuition. Later, after his thesis on the project is complete, and he graduates in May, Maker has high hopes of returning to work for the company full time.
Maker is from a family of engineers. His father and sister are both in the field. But, his exposure to the industry has helped him build leadership skills and other assets to equip him to climb the ladder of success, he says.
“The Gordon Program really enables me to define myself as a person who is climbing the ladder, and willing to take on all challenges to become a leader,” Maker says. “I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity.”
