Globalization's Reverse Investment Trend
The Economist points out a trend that critics of globalization might find surprising — companies founded in emerging market countries aggressively acquiring companies in richer nations ["Wind of change," 12 January 2008].
"Last month Hansen Transmissions International, a maker of gearboxes for wind turbines, was listed on the London Stock Exchange. Nothing noteworthy about that, you might say, despite the jump in the share price on the first day of trading and the handsome gain since: green technology is all the rage, is it not? But Hansen exemplifies another trend too, which should prove every bit as durable: the rise of multinational companies from emerging economies. Its parent is Suzlon, an Indian firm that began life as a textile manufacturer but is now among the world's five leading makers of wind turbines. Along the way, Suzlon has acquired not only Hansen, originally Belgian, but also REpower, a German wind-energy firm, spending over $2 billion on the pair. The world is now replete with Suzlons: global companies from emerging economies buying businesses in rich countries as well as in poorer places. Another Indian company, Tata Motors, looks likely to add to the list soon, by buying two grand old names of British carmaking, Jaguar and Land Rover, from America's enfeebled Ford. As a symbol of a shift in economic power, this is hard to match."
Critics have insisted that globalization is all about the rich exploiting the poor and economists teach that globalization is about capital moving from rich nations to poorer ones, but this trend bucks those notions.
"Economic theory says that this should not happen. Richer countries should export capital to poorer ones, not the other way round. Economists have had to get used to seeing this turned on its head in recent years, as rich countries have run large current-account deficits and borrowed from China and other emerging economies (notably oil exporters) with huge surpluses. Similarly, foreign direct investment (FDI)—the buying of companies and the building of factories and offices abroad—should also flow from rich to poor, and with it managerial and entrepreneurial prowess."
Economic theorists, however, can take a sigh of relief. The Economist does report that, for the most part, economic theory still holds.
"According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in 2006 the flow of FDI into developing economies exceeded the outflow by more than $200 billion. But the transfer of finance and expertise is by no means all in one direction. Developing economies accounted for one-seventh of FDI outflows in 2006, most of it in the form of takeovers. Indian companies have done most to catch the eye, but firms from Brazil, China and Mexico, in industries from cement to consumer electronics and aircraft manufacture, have also gone global. Up to a point, emerging-market multinationals have been buying Western know-how. But they have been bringing managerial and entrepreneurial skill, as well as just money, to the companies they buy: British managers bear grudging witness to the financial flair of Mexican cement bosses; Boeing and Airbus may have learnt a thing or two from the global supply chains of Brazil's Embraer."
The article reports that although this sounds surprising, it shouldn't be. This is only the latest wave of poor countries gaining a foothold in globalization and then climbing their way up the economic ladder.
"Perhaps no one should be surprised. Half a century ago, Japan was a poor country: today Sony and Toyota are among the best-known and mightiest companies on the planet. South Korea and Taiwan are still listed as developing countries in UNCTAD's tables, but that seems bizarrely outdated for the homes of Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor. Now another generation is forming. To its critics, globalisation may be little more than a licence for giant Western companies to colonise the emerging world, yet more and more firms from poorer economies are planting their flags in rich ground."
This week's bleak economic developments, brought on by America's credit woes, seems like a strange backdrop to be talking about economic prosperity; but the rest of the world is beginning to realize that basing their economic fortunes on American consumerism makes them vulnerable. Even Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's assurance in Davos, Switzerland, that the U.S. will remain an engine of economic growth, is likely to change how many nations see the future ["Rice touts U.S. 'engine of growth'," Associated Press, Washington Times, 24 January 2008]. Like any good portfolio manager, they will continue to diversify their customer base because it is in their best interests to do so. To build that customer base, emerging market countries must also become consumers as well as suppliers. The article notes, however, that the liberalization of free trade necessary to make this happen is meeting resistance — even among those it could help the most. The Economist continues:
"The Doha round of global trade talks has been bogged down, partly in squabbles about farm trade but also over industrial tariffs in the emerging world. The services negotiations are half-hearted and direct talks on FDI were ruled out long ago, largely because of developing countries' fears about rich invaders. And the gains forgone are considerable: a new book by the World Bank estimates that reforming services in developing countries could raise their growth rates by a percentage point. Were OECD countries to allow temporary immigration of skilled workers in service industries, the global gains might exceed $45 billion. A few emerging-market giants—notably India's software firms—have been prepared to stand up for liberalisation. But most have not made their voices heard. How sad for free trade: such companies would provide much better illustrations of the success of globalisation than the familiar Western names do (unless you think Coca-colonisation sounds really cool). And how short-sighted of them. Even if some of these adolescents grew up behind tariff barriers, that represents their past: their future will surely lie in global markets. If the Doha round fails, the next opportunity may be a long time coming."
As I have stressed before, globalization will only continue to benefit the world's economy if the relatively free movement of capital, resources, and people is permitted. Such freedom of movement is by no means inevitable. There are debates about immigration taking place throughout the developed world. And legislatures and parliaments are now concerning themselves with investments being made by Sovereign Wealth Funds, mainly controlled by oil rich nations. With dark economic clouds gathering on the horizon, now is not the time to put the brakes on globalization.

Tesla Doubles Gigafactory Work Ahead of July 29 Grand Opening
The company has doubled the amount of construction workers on site.
Tesla has kicked its construction efforts into hyper-speed, with the grand opening of its Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada just days away.
The $5 billion plant will be the first in the world to produce a new kind of battery, and will prove vital to Tesla's efforts to launch new models of electric car, including the Model 3, a Tesla pickup truck, and even a Tesla semi truck.
Tesla has reportedly been working overtime to pack the site with double the staff to get the factory built years sooner than expected, reports the Wall Street Journal. By 2020, the factory is expected to be producing enough batteries to power 1.2 million Model S cars.
It's expected to open before the Model 3 is unveiled in the latter half of 2017. Tesla hopes that the Model 3 will continue its transformation into a mass market car maker for its $35,000 sticker price, placing it within the realm of affordability compared to its previous models (Model S: $70,000; Model X: $80,000, Roadster: $101,500).
The factory is central to the efforts to get the Model 3 out quickly. The facility is also expected to be the first in the world to make 21/70 batteries, a reference to the size of the battery in millimeters. Currently, Tesla uses more common 18/650 batteries.
Parts of the Gigafactory are already completed, but the works currently occupy a small fraction of the projected final size. However, the team has completed a four-story building, which Tesla has already started using to produce batteries.
The company started taking orders for the Model 3 back in March, and already Tesla has a hefty backlog to work its way through. In May, CEO Elon Musk tweeted that anyone that wants their car before 2019 should order now to avoid disappointment. "Tesla is increasing the production ramp as fast as possible," Musk said.

Earlier this month, invitations to the grand opening — set for this Friday — were sent to Tesla owners who referred others to buy. As Electrek reported, there will be test drives. There was even a "golden ticket"-style raffle for a dozen Tesla owners.
The event will start at 6pm at Tesla's 'Gigafactory 1' at 1 Electric Avenue, Sparks, Nevada, on July 29th. Attendees will be offered test drives, without specifying for which vehicles, and they will offer factory tours before and after "remarks" at 9pm.
Musk, never one to miss a chance to maybe hype up something a little, commented about the impending opening recently: "Looking forward to the Gigafactory opening party on Friday next week. The scale blows me away every time I see it."
This video was released shortly after the September 2014 announcement that the Gigafactory would be built in Nevada:


This is the age of the Internet, where people all over the world are willing to spend a good part of their day online, either surfing sites or sharing tidbits about their life with friends and strangers. Organizations these days have come to appreciate the huge potential that the Internet offers and the access it gives one to the global market. It's no longer just about the content; it's also about how that content is displayed. Enter Flash. This software developed by Macromedia, is really popular and used to create animation programs based on graphics. They offer full-screen navigation interfaces, graphic illustrations, allow two way interaction and support sound as well. Besides offering a wonderful online experience, Flash graphics were hailed for their fast download speed which was all thanks to the vector based animations. Besides, the files themselves were small, compact and designed for an optimum experience.
HTML on the other hand stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is also used for interactive purposes as both images and objects can be embedded. Recently, HTML5 became the centre of focus after the Apple iPad which did not support Flash was unveiled in January this year. It was assumed that Flash which requires a plugin to be downloaded in the browser would pale in comparison to HTML5, which does not require any plugins. A number of tests were conducted to check which application was best suited to which browser. HTML5 was found to have performed better than Flash 10 in Safari, although the experience was more or less the same with other browsers on a Mac. In a Windows OS however, Flash proved to be the clear winner with an efficiency rate of 58% in Google Chrome alone.
Although, Flash is touted to be more complex and expensive than HTML5, its many features cannot be ignored. Flash gives developers better flexibility which HTML5 has yet to do in areas like video conferencing, live audio & video recording and 3d object video rotation. Flash is the undisputed king in the field of video games as well, which makes it a hot favorite with Playstation, Nintendo and X-Box for online emulation and playability through a web browser. Flash allows byte-level preloading (which lets users track the progress of a game that's loading), timeline animation, multi touch support, multi player games and can even read pixel data on webcams.
It may be true that HTML5 will get there soon enough and may be the next big thing of the future, but for now it looks like Flash is still the preferred software. Whether you're a user looking for an enriching website experience or an organization keen on gaining an audience; that plugin is just what you need.

On The Road: Prateek Kuhad LIVE
Prateek is ready to mesmerize his fans with fun-filled musical evenings in Jaipur and Kolkata on November 27 and December 4 respectively.
Prateek Kuhad is already on the road. Launching his 'The Way That Lovers Do' tour in Mumbai (Oct 29), he is now more than halfway through. The tour has already passed Delhi and is on its way to Jaipur (Nov 27) and Kolkata (Dec 4) before ending in Goa (Dec 18).
'The Way That Lovers Do' is an album that explores deep affection through the perspective of romance and friendship. Although for whatever reason, his song 'Favorite Peeps' is immersively underrated, it is presently getting well-deserved live audience numbers in return on this tour.
The artist is collaborating with the ticketing platform Bookmyshow for the leg of this tour to end 2022. This comes after a global tour across the USA and Europe, this two-month-long tour in India is giving Prateek back-to-back shows across Indian cities.
[Prateek Kuhad with audience and band members at Surat, India leg of the Nov & Dec 2022 tour.]
The 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan' fame from New Delhi shines on a song supported by a melodic piano or an acoustic guitar with minimal percussion – a style so prominently selling tickets today.
The tour is presented by Magic Moments – a live event management company with a history of supporting and promoting music worldwide, and its association with the Sunburn Music Festival.
Prateek Kuhad's sweet melodies layered with thought-provoking lyrics are cutting through the clutter and offer in today's music landscape dominating Asia; funky beats, techno-based tracks with thumping bass, and sauce voices.
Prateek's tour in India will end in Goa on December 18, 2022.

Q: Google Maps API v3 - Mousemove and Click event Combo If I've got a click event hooked up to my map, and then I hook up a mousemove event, the click event no longer works.  I don't suppose anyone knows anything about this? This is in version 3.4 by the way.
As a simple example:
var map;
function initialize() {

    var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
    var myOptions = {
        zoom: 8,
        center: myLatlng,
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    }

    map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

    var secondClick = false;
    var firstClick = false;
    var firstClickLatLng;
    var secondClickLatLng;
    var lines = [];

    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'mousemove', function (event) {
        redrawLine(event);
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (event) {
        if (!firstClick && !secondClick) {
            firstClick = true;
            firstClickLatLng = event.latLng;
        }
        else if (firstClick && !secondClick) {
            secondClick = true;
            firstClick = false;
            // draw the polyline here
            secondClickLatLng = event.latLng;

            //google.maps.event.removeListener(listener);
        }
        else if (!firstClick && secondClick) {
            secondClick = false;
            // clear the polyline here
            alert("what");
            //google.maps.event.removeListener(listener);
        }
    });

    function redrawLine(event) {
        if (firstClickLatLng != null) {
            var lineCoords = [
                firstClickLatLng,
                event.latLng
            ];

            var line = new google.maps.Polyline({
                path: lineCoords,
                strokeColor: "#FF0000",
                strokeOpacity: 1.0,
                strokeWeight: 2
            });

            // You need to clear the previous line, otherwise
            // it draws loads and loads of lines.  I did this
            // in case it doesn't manage to clear the previous
            // one for some reason.
            for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
                lines[i].setMap(null);

            line.setMap(map);
            lines.push(line);

}

So a line is drawn for whenever you move the mouse.  The problem is that if I were to click for the second time, the click event will not fire.

Everyone is doing it! Ok… so that may be a little bit of an exaggeration. But there is a large group of women who are. It's growing so fast that a second Bunco group has been started! Can you say, Bunco heaven!!
It's a great way to meet the neighbors, not that Doris (our wonderful Director of Fun) doesn't give us ample opportunity to do that. Maybe I should say that it's another great way to get to know our neighbors.
There's cash money to be won!! Oh yes. Everyone brings $5 and at the end of the night, there are three winners: the most wins/ the most losses and the most buncos!!!
If you are curious about this fun game called Bunco, please contact our Director of Fun and she will be able to get you plugged into a group. We really do have the best community at Grand Central Park.

Why Wall Street shrugged at Lilly's Alzheimer's setback
On Thursday, Eli Lilly said that one of its most closely watched medicines, an experimental treatment for Alzheimer's disease, had hit a setback, as the Food and Drug Administration decided not to grant it a so-called accelerated approval.
Typically, such a rejection would stoke concern from investors. But in the case of Lilly and its medicine, known as donanemab, the reaction on Wall Street has so far been relatively muted, with shares of the company down about 2% by Friday at noon.
According to analysts, that's because the rejection, while somewhat surprising, won't be what determines whether Lilly's drug becomes a commercial success.
Rather, analysts are eagerly anticipating results from a large clinical trial of donanemab that should become available sometime between April and June. If positive, the trial would support a full FDA approval of the medicine, which would be the key to unlocking any significant sales.
"In the grand scheme of things, today's [Lilly] news doesn't change the fact that true opportunity for donanemab rests entirely on the upcoming [trial readout and full approval]," wrote Umer Raffat, of the investment firm Evercore ISI, in a Jan. 19 note to clients.
Lilly asked the FDA for accelerated approval based on data from a positive study in which about 130 participants with early Alzheimer's were given donanemab. Compared to participants given a placebo, those on Lilly's drug appeared to decline about 32% slower, as measured by a composite scale that evaluates both cognition and function.
Notably, the study's design made it so that patients stopped receiving donanemab once they tested negative for amyloid — the protein the drug acts on, and which many researchers believe is integral to the development of Alzheimer's.
Because of that design, a significant portion of the study participants given donanemab were on the drug for less than a year. And that, according to Lilly, proved to be an issue for the FDA, which has requested that the company provide data from at least 100 patients who received a minimum of 12 months of continued treatment with donanemab.
Analysts expect the FDA's request could be met with safety data from that larger, ongoing trial of donanemab, which began in mid-2020 and has sought to enroll roughly 1,800 patients with early Alzheimer's.
Some, though, don't see much of a point to that. "We believe this will effectively eliminate donanemab's prospects for accelerated approval," Brian Skorney, an analyst at Baird, wrote in a note to clients, adding that "it would probably be in Lilly's best interest to just focus on filing for full approval should the Phase 3 study be successful."
Skorney also wrote that donanemab will need a "strong showing" in the larger study in order to be competitive against Leqembi, an Alzheimer's drug from partners Eisai and Biogen.
Leqembi recently secured its own accelerated approval and is currently under review for full approval, supported by positive results from a Phase 3 trial.
Given the challenges faced by Biogen and Eisai's earlier Alzheimer's drug, Aduhelm, analysts see full approvals as essential for amyloid-targeting therapies like Leqembi and donanemab to be viable commercial products. Medicare, the government insurance program expected to cover these drugs for the bulk of eligible patients, has set up a highly restrictive policy around amyloid therapies approved via the accelerated pathway.
To Paul Matteis, an analyst at Stifel, the FDA's decision against accelerated approval "comes in the backdrop of investors largely giving [Lilly the] benefit of the doubt, or even putting a halo effect around donanemab as potentially the best-in-class drug in the space."
Matteis wrote, too, that the rejection could make some questions around donanemab's safety, dosing and overall profile compared to Leqembi "more salient with the investor community."

Q: Mousewheel bubbling up in winforms? I have a little problem with winforms and mousewheel events.
I have a custom user control representing a slider. Now, I have a couple groups of sliders in which each group is wrapped inside a panel. All the groups are then wrapped in another panel (which has AutoScroll set to true) and this is wrapped in a form. The slider logic is implemented such that the mousewheel can be used to change its value. For this, the slider user control gets focus when the mouse is over the slider. However, when I scroll, also the AutoScroll parent panel scrolls with it.
I've already lost a lot of time on this issue. Anybody knows what is happening here and how I can solve it? I thought the event was bubbling to the parent panel but I don't find a Handled property on the event when handling it in the Slider control (as is possible with WPF).
many thanks

A:
We implemented the Slider as a complete custom user control (inheriting the UserControl class) with own look-and-feel.

You might have noticed that a UserControl doesn't show the MouseWheel event in the Properties window.  Hint of trouble there.  The WM_MOUSEWHEEL message bubbles.  If the control that has the focus doesn't handle it then Windows passes it on to its Parent.  Repeatedly, until it finds a parent window that wants to handle it.  The Panel in your case.
You'll need to invoke a bit of black magic in your slider control.  The actual event args object that get passed to the MouseWheel event is not of the MouseEventArgs type as the event signature suggests, it is HandledMouseEventArgs.  Which lets you stop the bubbling.  Like this:
    protected override void OnMouseWheel(MouseEventArgs e) {
        base.OnMouseWheel(e);
        // do the slider scrolling
        //..
        ((HandledMouseEventArgs)e).Handled = true;
    }

A: If you are creating event dynamically like
object.event += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(eventfunction);

try un-registering the event after the eventfunction is called like this
object.event -= new EventHandler<EventArgs>(eventfunction);

Rolequeer Theory and Practice
Sex within the charmed circle
In both mainstream feminist discourse and in rolequeer theory, sex within the charmed circle or its shorthand "charmed sex", refers to attitudes, beliefs, and practices related to sex that are considered "normal and good" in the dominant culture (the "overculture"). The terms reference an essay written in 1984 by Gayle Rubin called "Thinking Sex" in which Rubin introduced what she called the "Charmed Circle". Rubin uses the visualization of a circle divided into inner and outer portions to describe how different social groups with different social values applied those values to sexual behaviors, placing certain behaviors in the inner-most "good and natural" portion (e.g., heterosexual, monogamous, coupled, unpaid sex in private between two people who are married to each other) and certain other behaviors in the circle's outskirts due to being "bad and unnatural" (e.g., queer, polyamorous, sex in exchange for money in public between five people who just met).
As society changes, which behaviors are or are not "charmed" changes with it. That is, what behaviors are perceived as "good and normal," as well as what behaviors are not, shift over time in different ways and in different places. For example, unmarried recreational sex is considered normal and even healthy in many more parts of contemporary society than it was several decades ago. Rolequeer theory primarily concerns itself with the mechanism behind this cultural malleability, regardless of whether the behavior in question is sexual or not.
1 Application to rolequeer theory
Application to rolequeer theory¶
The Charmed Circle became an integral component of rolequeer theory when rolequeer theorists built on Rubin's work to describe rolequeerness as "a mental tool [useful for finding ways to] actually undermine power." This approach was first articulated in the essay, Thinking Rolequeer: Stepping Outside the Charmed Circle, which was sharply critical of the identity politics of its day:
In other words, kyriarchical positionality is about identity, whereas the Charmed Circle is about actions. To think about and criticize power and powerful structures effectively, we must first deeply internalize the difference between these two things and apply them both at the same time in any analysis of a given situation. This two-pronged approach is important because, for starters, "power" is not merely some abstract idea, but the application of force placed in time and space.
Most current discourse about sex and power has been totally overwhelmed by these ultimately unhelpful questions: Are you what you do? Are you only what you do? More crudely: Are you gay because you have gay sex? Or are you having gay sex because you are gay? Is it a choice? Or were you born that way? While politically expedient, I believe these questions dissecting the justifications for a given act are derailing distractions from the real issue: in what ways do our identities or actions threaten the ability of The Powers That Be to define our boundaries on our behalf?
Rolequeerness is a mental tool (that is, it is an idea) enabling us to more easily merge the two interrogatory approaches outlined in intersectional feminist analysis (kyriarchy, queer theory, etc.) described above in order to help us focus on actions whose impacts actually undermine power.
—maymay, "Thinking Rolequeer: Stepping Outside the Charmed Circle"
In "Stepping Outside the Charmed Circle," its author advanced the argument made by earlier rolequeer theorist R. Foxtale that "rolequeerness provides a methodological framework for 'downward mobility' inside the power gradient of oppression culture" by outlining a concrete approach to analyzing the influences of power in a given situational context:
"Downward mobility" can be interpreted to mean "doing a thing that makes one vulnerable but by the doing also makes powerful institutions and oppressive systems less able to effectively police people's thoughts and actions." […] Some relevant questions to ask about "downward mobility" would be: What kyriarchical positions were [certain people] in? What focus did they place on their actions? How did they react to others' responses to their actions?
My goal in this post is not to propose answers for whether [certain] behaviors or people "are rolequeer" or whatever. My goal is simply to more clearly describe a way of thinking about power and domination that has, at least for me, proven itself capable of inspiring acts and desires that reliably frighten powerful people. Regardless of your position in oppressive systems, you can still take liberatory acts; what matters is the focus of your action, what story you're telling yourself and others about it, and how you respond to others who react to the acts you take.
"Stepping Outside the Charmed Circle" provided rolequeer theory with the necessary distinctions between roles, identities, actions that would later inform much of its discourse:
Maymay's juxtaposing here of the ideas of doing deviance alongside being deviant, and locating the intersection of those two things within a context of intentionally moving down the hierarchical power gradient—because you can certainly also be a deviant who does deviant things in order to climb the hierarchical power ladder, but that's not what we're talking about here—helped me clarify my own thinking about the relationship of doing rolequeerness to being rolequeer. I think I still feel more comfortable saying "I'm rolequeer" rather than "I'm a rolequeer" — much as I've always felt more comfortable saying "I'm kinky" rather than "I'm a kinkster" — but, regardless, I have a better sense now of what I mean when I say that.

First New Year's baby born at St. Elizabeth Boardman
Kaidynn Bair was born at just six minutes after midnight
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – The first baby born every year is always special, but the first baby of a new decade is extra special.
The first baby born in the Valley this New Year was delivered at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Boardman.
"It's incredible that something this tiny can put you in so much pain," said new mom, Justine Bowley.
She went through roughly 17 hours of labor.
Kaidynn Douglas Bair was born at just six minutes after midnight.
"I got induced at 7:30 – 8 o'clock and I didn't have him until six minutes after 12, and it was a very long, drawn out process," Justine said.
Kaidynn's parents are Doug Bair and Justine Bowley, of Boardman. His middle name is in honor of his father.
Little Kaidynn is 7 pounds, 4 ounces and 19 inches long.
"I watched the ball drop, told her happy New Year, the doctor came in about two-three minutes later and within three minute, he was here," said Doug Bowley.
Kaidynn was named after Justine's other children who all share the letter 'K' as a first initial and he came into the world a couple weeks ahead of his due date.
"He is truly our blessing. He really is. He is a blessing to his family. He is a blessing to us, especially to him," said
Baby Kaidynn and his mom are doing well.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) - Tuesday night, the Youngstown Board of Zoning Appeals virtually discussed whether or not to allow chickens in the city.
The topic was brought up because one resident would like to raise them on her property.


Pearse Stadium in Salthilll which will be closed until next February due to a major revamp of the pitch.
A substantial investment to revamp the playing surface at Pearse Stadium is set to leave the county's leading GAA ground out of action until next Spring.
As a result, Galway GAA officials are set to look to Tuam Stadium and Kenny Park, Athenry, to host the county football and hurling finals at all grades over the coming weeks and months.
Over the past four weeks, a team of workers has undertaken remedial drainage works at the Salthill facility with the aim of transforming the pitch – which has been prone to occasional flooding – into one of the best grounds in the country.
"There was a window of opportunity to undertake remedial drainage works in recent weeks as the Galway senior footballers and hurlers had no home championship games this summer," said Galway GAA CEO John Hynes this week.
Hynes said that players and supporters would see "significant improvements" to the playing surface when the ground is set to reopen for the National League matches next February.
"At this stage it is likely that Pearse Stadium will remain closed for games until the Spring of 2015. This is to ensure that the new playing surface has time to 'bed-down' and settle and that pitch maintenance programmes are completed," he said.
He said staff at Pearse Stadium would be implementing a "proper maintenance programme" over the coming months and teams would notice a significant improvement to the playing surface next year.
"In the past, if we got a lot of rain, it would stay on the surface. There were games last year in the National Leagues, where we were playing teams from across the country, where we could only make the decision to go ahead after carrying out pitch inspections at 8am in the morning," said Hynes.
He said no firm decisions had been made yet in relation to the venues for the 2014 county finals, although it looked as though Tuam would be used for the football and Kenny Park, Athenry, for the hurling decider.

Early in the Professional Futsal League's inaugural meetings the last two days in Dallas, Donnie Nelson looked around the conference room table and marveled at the melding of minds and sports.
Mavericks' Mark Cuban announces investment in Donnie Nelson's pro futsal league
There was Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Lakers owner Jim Buss. There were delegations from FC Barcelona and other world-power soccer organizations.
During two days of meetings at Dallas' Omni Hotel and American Airlines Center, they discussed rules, league structure, marketing initiatives and more for the 16-team league, which begins play in 2017.
Futsal is five-a-side indoor soccer that is played in 198 of the 207 FIFA member associations around the world but has never had a North American league.
"This is really uncharted territory," Nelson said. "You are really creating the Magna Carta of a brand-new league. You find yourself sitting there looking around the room thinking, 'Wow, this is really historical-type stuff.'"
Nelson, Cuban and sports entrepreneur Brian Dick are the PFL's principal owners. Buss' family will own the league's Los Angeles franchise.
On Tuesday, The Dallas Morning News reported that cities that would have Professional Futsal League teams included Dallas, New York [which will have two teams], Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Boston and Miami.
On Wednesday, a source told The News that San Francisco, Portland, Anaheim, Phoenix and Orlando also will have teams. Nelson would not confirm those cities or divulge any others, but did say every PFL market has an NFL and/or NBA team.
Source: Mark Cuban isn't the only big-name investor in futsal; other NBA owners, prestigious soccer clubs have joined in
The News previously reported that FC Barcelona will own one of the New York teams and that Atletico Madrid, Boca Juniors of Argentina and Corinthians of Brazil will have full or partial stakes.
On Wednesday, The News learned that Portugal power Benfica has been part of discussions to be affiliated with one of the PFL teams, as have at least two powerhouse European clubs that have yet to be made public.
Soccer clubs from around the world will be affiliated with each of the 16 PFL franchises, either through partnership or as outright owner.
Several of the West Coast teams, the source said, have received significant interest from investors in China and Japan, including a yet-to-be-publicly named Chinese billionaire who will own the San Francisco franchise.
China's president, Xi Jinping, is a lifelong soccer fan who since assuming office in Nov. 2012 has bemoaned his country's lack of global soccer stature.
In recent months, China has devoted considerable planning and resources to improving its national soccer program and grass-roots training.
The increased emphasis _ and Jinping's expectations _ apparently extends to futsal, which is the only indoor form of soccer that is FIBA-approved, and is used by elite soccer programs around the world as a training level for up-and-coming players.
Nelson, the Mavericks' president of basketball operations, said there already are discussions about playing PFL exhibition games next summer in China and Japan; as well as Mexico City and Monterrey, Mexico. He also predicted the league will have significant TV and digital platforms in China.
"These are top global brands that see an opportunity to kind of create their own D-League in the United States with this product," said Nelson, who owns the NBA D-League Texas Legends, based in Frisco.
Nelson paid about $1 million when he purchased the Legends six years ago. Estimates today are that the franchise is worth about $12 million.
PFL owners, paying franchise fees of $1 million to $1.5 million, project similar increases in value, especially with investors around the globe yearning to tap into the United States market. Clubs like FC Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern Munich have established offices in New York, or are in the process of doing so.
In an effort to appeal to American fans, and establish the PFL as the world's most elite futsal league, owners the past two days unanimously agreed to key rule modifications:
--Many futsal games around the world are played on 20-meter-wide, 40-meter-long courts, but in some futsal leagues use smaller courts, depending on venue options. Nelson said PFL owners voted to play on standardized 20-by-40 courts, the maximum-allowed size in futsal.
"That's because we will have, even in our first year, the best futsal players on the planet," Nelson said. "So we have to give them the maximum space to operate."
--Futsal games around the world are generally played in two 20-minute halves. PFL owners voted to become the first futsal league to use four 12-minute quarters.
Futsal games played in halves generally take 90 to 100 minutes to play. American audiences, PFL owners determined, expect closer to two hours of entertainment.
"We'll be the only league in the world with that (four-quarter) format," Nelson said. "Again, that's part of the NBA injection here."
Futsal is often described as a hybrid of soccer and basketball, so this marriage of elite soccer and NBA ownerships makes sense from a synergy standpoint.
"They (soccer officials) are looking to us to provide guidance on the entertainment component and how to present the sport to the U.S. market," Nelson said. "We're looking to them to use the most successful components of this high-octane sport."
--Owners also voted to add TV timeouts and decreed that in cases of tie games, the first overtime will be played 4-on-4 and for five minutes.
If the game is still tied after overtime, each team will select three players to participate in a shootout format. Each player would get a running start from midcourt and have five seconds in which "to score the ball in motion."
Obviously, many more details remain to be worked out before league play begins in 2017, with the starting month probably to be determined by TV networks.
Nelson said the PFL's next league meetings are scheduled for Aug. 3-4 at Orlando's ESPN Wide World of Sports.

All of our sessions are supported by a wide range of online SEN resources on the Museum of London's website and we also offer work experience placements for pupils with learning and physical disabilities.
From Sep 2014 to Jul 2015, the SEN programme delivered 173 sessions to 1630 young people. During this period, 100% of teachers rated our SEN sessions as good or better in their feedback and 93% rated them as excellent.
For other visitors with SEND, we offer our Morning explorers sessions five times per year, at weekends and in school holidays. These are ASC friendly sessions run by our Visitor Hosts which give families with children who have an autistic spectrum condition the opportunity to come along and enjoy the museum before the arrival of the general public.
At the Museum of London, we also have Sensory Explorer bags, designed for visitors with physical and learning disabilities, which can be used when visiting the galleries. Our Visitor Hosts can also facilitate gallery tours for visitors with sensory impairments on request.
The Museum of London's galleries cater for a wide range for audiences and audience needs. Most have one or two interactive exhibits such as touch objects, costumes, films, audio or digital interactives. We endeavour to provide every visitor with positive and inspiring experience, regardless of their needs or disabilities.
We also offer a range of self-directed resources for families to borrow and use as they walk around the galleries, including back packs and activity trails. Most of the activity sheets are aimed at children aged 4-11 and require some writing skills. Most back packs are also for children aged 4-11, and provide hand- on learning that can be easily adapted to your family's needs.
Specific to visitors with special education needs and disabilities, we have Sensory explorer bags, designed for visitors of all ages with physical and learning needs. Each gallery also contains a prop box which is facilitated by visitor hosts. Each box contains multi-sensory objects that link to displays in the relevant galleries. We also offer audio guides for blind or partially sighted visitors, and a number of our hosts are trained in Audio Described tours.
A visit to the Museum of London is free: families can do as much or as little as they want and explore London's history in their own time and at a pace suitable for them.
The Museum of London is fully accessible, with lifts and escalators bringing visitors from street level up to the entrance located on a high walk.
The museum's main entrance is located on the Barbican high walk, which takes you away from the busy roads on the street level. There is a lift on Aldersgate, near Barbican Tandoori, up to the High Walk. There is another lift on London Wall, next to New Look, up to the high walk from Moorgate station.
There are toilets on all floors for disabled visitors, and baby changing facilities for families. There is also a small and private Quiet Room with a bed. If free and not needed for an emergency, it is accessible to anybody needing a bit of time to relax, or a larger area for changing.
Visitors can borrow wheelchairs and mobility scooters while at the museum. These can be booked in advance by phoning the front desk on 020 7814 4264.
Please note: the wheelchairs and scooters are adult sized.
Disabled parking is available on a first come first served basis. For information on how to find these, please phone our security office on 020 7814 5552.
The Museum of London is free and all children are welcome regardless of any special education needs. If you have any particular worries or questions you can contact our Booking Office on 020 7001 9844. They will be happy to answer any questions or forward you to the relevant person.
As many family visitors will not be known to museum staff in advance it is important that, if assistance is required during a visit, any particular needs are communicated to staff either before or during a visit. This will ensure the needs are suitably catered for. Visitor service hosts are also trained to cater for a variety of audience needs and may provide helpful advice or highlight appropriate opportunities.
We have a friendly Visitor Services team that is trained to engage a wide range of audiences, and will be present in all galleries should assistance be required at any time.
Information on visiting as a family is also available on the museum's website, including accessibility information and general information that might be useful, such as lighting levels.
All visitors are encouraged to complete feedback forms should they find something unsatisfactory or want to tell us something positive about their experience at the museum. These are then passed onto a relevant member of staff who may follow up on feedback and / or take steps to address it. In the case of families who have children with special needs or disabilities. Comments will be passed onto the family team and duty manager responsible for accessibility.
The Museum of London has a Diversity and Equality Policy, and aims to represent all levels of the community it serves. It values diversity and equality amongst people and views it as strength, not a weakness. It also aims to provide its employees with the training necessary to ensure the effective implementation of these values.
The Museum of London is a place where children and families can come to learn together. These learning opportunities are for all to enjoy equally, with the provision of appropriate resources where special educational needs have been identified.
Museums are well placed as institutions of exploratory and sensory discovery, and therefore can complement and support those learning with special educational needs. Resources such as the Sensory explorer bag, for example, have been developed purely for the purpose of providing a guide to the collection, its stories to suit a range of learning styles.
For special schools and SEN units in mainstream schools, the Museum of London offers an extensive dedicated SEN learning programme consisting of one-day workshops and two-part sessions programmed over more than 50 dates during the academic year. It also offers four and five-week projects available on request and bespoke one-off sessions where possible.
Over 20 different one-day workshops and two-part sessions are currently offered at the Museum of London, the Museum of London Docklands and as outreach visits to schools; as well as six different bespoke four and five-week projects.
Our sessions are attended by children and young people aged 5-16+ with a wide spectrum of physical and learning needs: moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; profound and multiple learning difficulties; autistic spectrum disorders; social, emotional and behavioural difficulties; attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders; genetic disorders and complex medical conditions; speech, language and communication needs; sensory impairments; and many students with a combination of the above.
Our sessions support learning across the school curriculum – in Literacy, Geography, Citizenship, Art, Drama, Music as well as History. In addition, they all adopt an interactive and multi-sensory approach, catering for all learning styles and needs. They help to build social, practical, cognitive and communication skills through a mixture of object handling, role-play, replica costumes, drama, music, puppetry, art workshops, storytelling, digital learning and gallery exploration. All of our sessions are supported by a wide range of online resources on the Museum of London's website.
We also offer work experience placements for pupils with learning and physical needs.
We try to ensure that all our events and activities are as accessible as possible to everyone who wishes to take part. We also provide extra provision when necessary, such as a full-time 'quiet space' at London Wall and during busier times at Docklands. We also ensure that members of staff and the visitor services team are trained in working with SEN groups so that they are aware as to the provision and service that may be required. When necessary, we consult our designated SEN Programme Manager as to what we may need to take into account in order to ensure the museums are as accessible as possible for this audience.
We evaluate all our family sessions through feedback from the children and adults that attend, including those with children with SEN, and take on board any comments or additional requirements they suggest. Our SEN Programme Manager disseminates relevant information and new developments across the learning team and the wider museum as appropriate. Best practice in the field of SEN provision is disseminated via a SEN Network which meets quarterly. This is a forum for skills-sharing set up by education professionals from museums, galleries and other heritage sites.

Do You Know The Classic Dating Myths?
Posted By Kym Sellers
The Line: His genes make him cheat.
The Study: Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute found that men who had a certain variation of a vasopressin receptor gene were more likely to suffer marital discord.
The Bottom Line: The researchers did find a significant correlation between men who had the 334 variant of AVPR1A, a gene that codes for a vasopressin receptor. Previous work in animals has shown that the density of vasopressin receptors in certain regions of the brain was linked to monogamous behaviors-so, of course, headlines screamed about infidelity. Only two little problems with that conclusion. One: genes are not deterministic-and there is no behavior that can be distilled down to a single gene. Two (and perhaps more importantly): The researchers at Karolinska never asked any of their study participants about infidelity directly. Ooops
The Line: Men and women can't be friends – sexual attraction gets in the way.
The Study: Researchers at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire asked students (along with a close friend of the opposite sex) to come in and fill out some questionnaires about friendship and romance. They found that men, regardless of whether they were dating someone else, tended to admit having strong attractions to their female friends. They also reporting thinking their female friends were into them.
The Bottom Line: Even long before When Harry Met Sally tackled this particular topic, the idea of platonic friendships between men and women has been debated-again and again and again. Never mind that there are plenty of examples of platonic friendships between men and women out there in the world. But the biggest problem with this study is the sample. I'm not sure that college kids' views on romance and friendship are really representative of the world at large.
The Line: Passionate love can only last for two years.
The Study: There have been several studies in the past decade that have come up with 2 years as a magic number when it comes to love. Donatella Marrazitti, a researcher at the University of Pisa, found brain chemicals like oxytocin, testosterone and neurotrophins increase when someone falls in love. But then go back to baseline after two years. Arthur Aron, a researcher at SUNY Stony Brook, found a similar trend with happiness ratings.
The Bottom Line: These changes don't mean that love can't list. It's possible that, in humans, two years is the length of time required to solidify a bond between two people. Again, these are correlation studies-and it's hard to suss out what exactly is mitigating these changes. Other studies have shown that passionate love can be sustained over time-and certainly for much longer than two years-but it's unclear why some relationships fizzle out and die and others go the distance.

Former patient in Malaysia among import cases detected in Cambodia- Health DG
PUTRAJAYA, June 29 (NNN-BERNAMA) — One of the two Cambodian males who tested positive for COVID-19 upon arrival in Cambodia from Malaysia is a former patient who had been declared to have recovered.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the other passenger confirmed positive was a 15-year-old who studied at a tahfiz centre in Malaysia.
"We have just been informed by the International Health Regulation in Cambodia and close contact tracing of the case will be carried out.
"One of them was an old case in Malaysia, which is case number 1,051. Although he was tested positive (in Cambodia), it could be due to virus shedding, so it is not much of a concern… he was tested positive through a RT-PCR (reverse transmission-polymerase chain reaction) test, but the virus is not active," he told a press conference on COVID-19 here today.
Dr Noor Hisham said the Ministry of Health (MOH) would cooperate with the airline involved to identify other individuals in the plane.
The international media yesterday reported that there were two positive import cases involving Cambodians who boarded a direct flight from Malaysia on Friday.
Apart from the 103 Cambodians, it was reported that there were two Malaysians on board the flight as well.
Asked about the standard operating procedure (SOP) to be set for theme park owners, Dr Noor Hisham said water parks should limit the number of visitors, with the MOH discouraging a 100 percent opening.
"We advise everyone and the relevant theme parks to take precautionary steps and to maintain personal cleanliness, but what is important is to practise social distancing as the MOH is worried that there will be large gathering or crowding when opening the theme parks.
Earlier, Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that 54 theme parks including water parks, would be allowed to operate from July 1.

Vote for Cures
Advocate Spotlight: Amy J.
Champions / Advocates Multiple Sclerosis Innovation Fragility
By Amy Jimenez
Thirteen years ago, after the birth of my second child, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). I remember coming home from the doctor and at first crying. At a time when the excitement – and some of the stress – of our growing family was top-of-mind, I remember feeling an overwhelming sense of fear and anguish after receiving my diagnosis.
Would I be able to care for my family, let alone myself? I could no longer say with certainty that I would be able to watch my children grow up and share in all of life's little moments so many of us take for granted.
Today, one million people are living with MS in the United States. While our understanding of the causes of MS is limited, research shows that early diagnosis and novel, new disease modifying therapy options are essential in fighting this disease in its earliest stages.
Over the past decade, as my disease has progressed, the medicines I've taken have progressed right alongside it. Today, I'm on a medication that was first meant for leukemia patients, but through research, scientists discovered it could help with MS. Without these vital medications, it would be much harder to keep hope alive in fighting this disease. I believe in the promise of scientific breakthroughs and the potential that one of the 29 medicines in development for treating MS will have for my health.
To me, hope is the most important tool to have when fighting a chronic illness. I am hopeful that my small voice can make a big difference! For myself and millions of others, we need to know that there are ground-breaking treatments to help us fight disease and embrace hope for our future. We must not become complacent. We must continue to fight for innovation in medicine, so that we all can be around for life's little and big moments.
I agree that we must do something to make medicines more affordable. But as Washington debates changes to health care, I'm worried they may jeopardize future innovations for patients who are counting on future breakthroughs.
It is of the utmost importance that policymakers in Washington always keep in mind the experiences of the patients they represent who, like me, are counting on them to help advance the next generation of treatments and cures.

In 2017, Stacey Solovey became the owner of Solovey Jewelers upon the retirement of her mother, and longtime store owner, Traci Solovey. Stacey has renamed the store Solovey Jewelers and Consignment Boutique, as she is now accepting fine jewelry and designer handbags to add to the already lovely jewelry collection for which we have been known for more than 45 years.
In this interview, Stacey offers her expert advice on antique and estate jewelry and how Solovey Jewelers came to be known as the renowned shop for one-of-a-kind antique and contemporary pieces.
Q: What is the best advice you can give customers on purchasing antique and estate jewelry?
A: The best advice that I can offer customers on purchasing antique and estate jewelry is to make sure the piece is not a reproduction. There are many designers making good reproduction jewelry. If people are looking for something antique, then they do not want a reproduction.
Some people think that a piece is antique if it is 50 years old. To be an antique, a piece must be 100 years old. We know at Solovey's what to look for to identify the repros from the authentic. I suggest asking family and friends for referrals to reputable stores. Yelp is a good internet source to check whether a store is reputable.
Q: What is the most challenging thing about working at a jewelry store?
A: The most challenging aspect about working at a jewelry store is the turn-around time. Customers want pieces polished and sized immediately. It takes time to do the work correctly, and sometimes it can't be done in a day. The watch repair business is very challenging. Old parts take time to make by hand and customers often want instant gratification. Patience is the key.
Q: How should one go about making a meaningful purchase, such as an engagement ring?
A: A meaningful piece of jewelry should be purchased wisely. An engagement ring should not be an emotional decision. Customers should educate themselves before stepping into a jewelry store. The buyer should look at their partner's style of jewelry. If the person wears a round-faced watch, then an emerald or princess cut might not be the correct choice. Looking at the metals that the person wears is a good idea. I sell 99% white metals with the preference being platinum. Asking your mate a question about their opinion of a friend's jewelry can be helpful when making a decision, and one can get a family member involved.
Q: What inspired your family to start the jewelry business?
A: My mother started the antique jewelry business almost 45 years ago. She loved collecting antique pieces. She collected a caseful and then did antique shows. Her taste is impeccable, and she has an eye for what people desire. About 40 years ago, she had a few cases of jewelry in the back of an antique shop in Old Town, Alexandria. She developed a good customer following, expanded her business to include antique and contemporary jewelry and moved to our present location in McLean, Virginia. Solovey Jewelers is a full-service jewelry store, specializing in all kinds of antique jewelry.
Q: What about working at a jewelry store do you enjoy the most?
A: I enjoy working with jittery engagement ring shoppers. I have a talent for calming their nerves! I am also very honest in my opinions, and they feel comfortable working with me. I have been invited to some weddings because the customers turn into friends.
Q: How does one go about getting jewelry appraised?
A: Getting jewelry appraised is a very important decision. If the jewelry is not kept locked up in a safety deposit box, then having the pieces appraised is a good idea. If the pieces are going to be appraised but not insured, then one might not want to go through the process at all. Many people appraise their expensive and sentimental jewelry, and they never insure it. This is not a good idea. All that they have is a piece of paper with important information on the pieces. The step taken to insure the jewelry is the most important step. Googling appraisers with a GIA certification or getting a referral is a must. Do not be turned off by the price of the appraisal. It takes a long time to do a good job, and if the appraisal is inexpensive and quick, it is not going to help if there is a loss. You get what you pay for!
Q: Do you have a favorite gem and why?
A: My favorite gem is tsavorite. It is a beautiful green stone. I love the color green. My bird is the exact same shade as the stone. I see tsavorite in some of the vintage pieces. It is quite rare and not easily found.
Q: Do you have a favorite antique piece that you hated to see sold?
A: I have a few favorite pieces that sold, and I regretted that I put them out in the case! There was a wedding band with very unusual cuts called bullets that went across the top of the platinum band. I also sold a charm that was an enamel house, and I did not realize that it opened and there was a family living inside. A pretend family, of course!
Q: What is the best way to take care of jewelry?
A: The best way to take care of jewelry is to have your stones cleaned and checked every six months. We do not charge for this service, and it is very important. I cannot stress the importance of taking off your jewelry when you bathe, swim, garden, work out or pick up heavy things. All metals can get damaged–even titanium. Never store pearls, coral or opals in a safety deposit box. They need to breathe. Also with these stones, apply perfume or hairspray before putting them on, not after. Wait about 10 minutes. Keep them out of water. I know this sounds strange, but the coating will discolor and wear off.
Q: What about your store stands out among the rest in the D.C. area?
A: Solovey Jewelers and Consignment Boutique stands out among other stores in the D.C. metropolitan area because we carry one-of-a-kind antique and contemporary pieces. We have loose diamonds and fancy cuts. We carry Art Deco mountings and gorgeous wedding bands with colored stones and without. Our excellent goldsmith and watchmaker is on the premises. He is outstanding with the antique pieces. We do pearl stringing. Our appraiser is a graduate GIA gemologist with more than 25 years of experience.
Q: What are the current trends in the jewelry market?
A: The current trends are platinum for engagement rings. The halo mounting with micro pave sides is extremely popular. We also have been selling unusual diamonds for engagement rings. Yellow and pink diamonds are becoming popular and yellow gold is starting to make a comeback but not so much for engagement rings. Pearls have always been popular, and we sell exquisite South Sea pearls and freshwater pearl necklaces and earrings.
Since 1969, antique and estate jewelry has been our specialty. Our collection consists of both antique and contemporary engagement rings, wedding bands, necklaces, bracelets and more one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Chemical pressure was introduced by replacing Ba atoms with Sr atoms in the spin-ladder compounds AEFe(2)Ch(2)O (AE = Ba, Sr; Ch = S, Se). Powders and small single crystals of SrFe2S2O and SrFe2Se2O were synthesized from SrO, Fe, and Ch (S, Se). X-ray diffraction data were used to determine the crystal structures, which showed prominent magnetic ladderlike sublattices. The Mossbauer spectra of SrFe2S2O and SrFe2Se2O suggest the presence of localized divalent Fe ions in the FeCh(3)O structural units (distorted e(3)t(2)(3) configuration, S = 2). Single sharp hyperfine patterns at 5 K indicate the formation of simple antiferromagnetic ground states. The spin-ordering transitions (T-N) were determined by magnetic, resistivity, and specific heat data to be 216 and 228 K for SrFe2S2O and SrFe2Se2O, respectively. At ca. 540 K, both compounds exhibit a similar broad maximum in (T-max). In comparison with BaFe2S2O and BaFe2Se2O, the Sr homologues have higher T-max values, which suggest stronger intersite exchange interactions in accordance with the chemical pressure from the replacement of Sr atoms with Ba atoms. However, the lower Neel temperatures for the Sr homologues supports the idea that magnetic frustration is present, and it clearly has to be considered for this group of compounds.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, who boasts a 30-year relationship with China, to be the next U.S. ambassador in Beijing, a spokesman for Trump said Wednesday.
"The governor has a lot of experience and grasp of trade issues, agriculture issues and the understanding of China," Jason Miller told reporters.
Branstad, an early supporter of Trump, met with the president-elect in New York on Tuesday. He has accepted the offer, according to media reports.
"He's someone who has very much impressed President-elect Trump not just during the meetings but also on the campaign trail," Miller said. "We couldn't be prouder of the selection."
"It's very clear that Governor Branstad is someone who'll represent our country well on the world stage," he added.
Branstad, 70, has long nurtured a close relationship with China, having visited China multiple times. He served as the governor of Iowa between 1983 and 1999, and again since 2011.
In 1985, Xi Jinping, then party secretary of Zhengding County in the Chinese province of Hebei, led an agricultural delegation to Iowa and stayed with a local family for two days.
Branstad, the Iowa governor at the time, met Xi for the first time and hosted Xi and his colleagues warmly.
During his visit to the United States in 2012, Xi, then Chinese vice president, went to Iowa for a reunion with the family that hosted his delegation 27 years ago. Branstad and Xi met again on the occasion.
During Xi's state visit to the United States in September 2015, Branstad flew to Washington to take part in a welcoming banquet for the Chinese president.
Pundits believed Branstad's expertise on China and friendship with Chinese and U.S. leaders would facilitate him in lubricating the development of the most important bilateral relationship in the global political arena.
His longtime relationship with China could help smooth things out. His personal touch could go a long way in avoiding conflicts caused by miscommunication or misinterpretation.
It is widely believed that the nomination sent a positive signal to the development of the China-U.S. relations amid a mixture of messages from Trump over his attitude toward China.
