globalization and urbanization

by sadashivan
Globalization opened enormous scope of opportunities and gateway to trade exchanges world over. Especially Asian and developing countries were in advantage to promote their sales and services to developed countries.

The Longest Way 1.0 - one year walk/beard grow time lapse on Vimeo

by karlcow & 2 others

November 9th 2007 - November 13th 2008

one year on foot - 4646km through China

unlimited beard & hair growth

thelongestway.com

musical score by the kingpins ( myspace.com/theoneandonlykingpins ) and zhu fengbo

Additional info:

- I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the desert of Gobi, and then decided to stop walking for now.

- All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things.

- I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful.

- Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues.

- The songs I used in the video are 1) Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" and 2) The Kingpins - "L'aventurier" - visit the Kingpins website if you want to know more, they are very cool I think.

- This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting.

- The core of this project is in fact my website "www.thelongestway.com" where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later.

Dog Food Recall List

by asupport
Of course you do! Our dogs are family members. Ask yourself, then, if you would risk feeding your family members tainted or toxic food. The answer, of course, would be NO! In 1997 a Dog Food Recall List was published, following the FDA's discovery that Melamine, a contaminant found in vegetable protein from China, was being used in dog food in the United States.

actualité boursière, marché financier, économie française : Challenges

by jallatte

Selon le bureau d'études Aurel reprenant les propos du journal chinois "South China Morning Post", le fonds souverain "China Investment Corp" s'intéresserait aux groupes de luxe afin d'y prendre une participation pouvant aller jusqu'à 10% du capital. Les groupes LVMH, PPR et Richemont sont notamment cités.

Une telle éventualité sera regardée avec attention par les actionnaires majoritaires de ces groupes. D'un coté, ils seront sans doute réticents de voir un unique actionnaire détenir une part significative de leur capital avec l'incertitude sur la durée de la détention des actio ns et d'un autre coté, au regard du poids grandissant des consommateurs chinois dans leurs chiffre d'affaires respectifs, il peut s'agir d'une occasion pour tisser des relations étroites avec les autorités chinoises et saisir des opportunités de développement, explique le broker.
