What does Ethics mean?
Thread starter nt250
From Dictionary.com:
1. (used with a singular or plural verb) a system of moral principles: the ethics of a culture.
2. the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc.: medical ethics; Christian ethics.
3. moral principles, as of an individual: His ethics forbade betrayal of a confidence.
4. (usually used with a singular verb) that branch of philosophy dealing with values relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions.
I woke up about 3 o'clock this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I decided to go online for a while. I checked out the news site I always read first whenever I go online and I read about Steve Irwin's death.
I visit 3 or 4 different message boards. After I finished reading the news of such a tragic death, at such a young age, of a man who is admired by kids all over the world, I went to the boards.
I knew, before I even got there, what would be posted and who would post it.
At one board, one of the biggest Bush bashers posted "Steve Irwin dead. It's about time!".
Since the news was several hours old, there were quite a few threads about it, so the inevitable had to happen. "OK, OK, We KNOW! Steve Irwin is dead. Who cares?!!"
It's pretty much the same everywhere. Yeah, it's a shame he died, but he was asking for it. Some people are glad he's dead.
What makes people be so unkind?
Does it have anything to do with ethics?

I'll take a quick stab at it. IMHO ethics are a group of standards either personal or communal that people use to determine good from bad--positive from negative. They are general rules to use to determine integrity of character. If you work somewhere you agree to set aside some personal ethics and take on the ethics that the company is paying for you to act on.
What makes people behave in a cruel fashion? Ignorance and ego.
Why is it that the people who are the most cruel are almost always the most judgmental of others?
They don't even think they are. That's what gets me more than anything else. They are so quick to judge others. But they never seem to notice how cruel and mean they themselves are.
By far the meanest and nastiest are liberals. They have such high standards for everyone but themselves. Anyone who disagrees with their views, or their politics, are fair game.
Mean, nasty people.
Would it be ethical to create a post stating that you were dieing of lung cancer with very little hope of a cure and all you could hope for was enough time to make arrangements for your teenage daughter?
What kind of person do you suppose would do something like that?
The same person who then disappeared from the board for a while only to reappear and accuse all those who sympathised and offered support of being stupid assholes for believing her in the first place.Who would do that nt250?Is that the behaviour of a nice person or a mean nasty person?

She will eventually pull the same shenanigans here, just like she does at every board she goes to. She's nothing but a troll, intent on causing discord, and blinded with rage at any site of compassion.
She certainly did, her original post above.Garnered loads of genuine sympathy then came back and called everyone a fucking asshole for believing her in the first place.This is just a heads up for you guys, I know she is flavour of the month, but beware.

I hope enough members of this board read it to realize what kind of douchebag they are dealing with.
No she really isn't. Her first rant was about education and how everyone was picking on her kid. And how she would NEVER allow her kid to do school work over summer break. Seemed wacko then too. To me anyway.

I asked a simple question. When did I ever post that I was gay?
Since I'm not gay, and am adamantly opposed to gay rights, I'd really like to know when I ever posted that I was gay.
Gee, I think Roomy is probalbly doing this as an experiment in how very few people actually have any ethics? Ya think?

Manuel Teixeira Gomes GCSE (Vila Nova de Portimão, 27 de Maio de 1860 — Bugia, Argélia, 18 de Outubro de 1941) foi o sétimo presidente da Primeira República Portuguesa de 6 de Outubro de 1923 a 11 de Dezembro de 1925. Tem uma biblioteca e uma escola secundária com o seu nome em Portimão. Tem também uma escola de pré-escolar  e básico com o seu nome em Lisboa.

Infância e juventude
Nasceu a 27 de Maio de 1860, freguesia Vila Nova de Portimão, concelho de Portimão, filho de José Libânio Gomes e de sua mulher Maria da Glória Teixeira de Seixas Braga (Lagoa, Ferragudo) e neto materno de Francisco Manuel Teixeira de Seixas Braga (Silves, Silves) e de sua mulher Ana Bárbara da Purificação dos Santos (Lagoa, Ferragudo, 4 de Setembro de 1811), foi educado pelos pais, até entrar no Colégio de São Luís Gonzaga, em Portimão. Aos dez anos foi enviado para o Seminário Maior de Coimbra e posteriormente matriculou-se em Medicina, na Universidade de Coimbra. Cedo desistiu do curso, contrariando a vontade do pai. Muda-se então para Lisboa, onde pertence ao círculo intelectual de Fialho de Almeida e João de Deus. Mais tarde, conhecerá outros vultos importantes da cultura literária da época, como Marcelino Mesquita, Gomes Leal e António Nobre.

O apoio do pai, que decide continuar a custear a vida boémia do filho, permite a Teixeira Gomes desenvolver uma forte tendência para as artes, nomeadamente na literatura, não deixando contudo de admirar a escultura e a pintura, tornando-se amigo de mestres como Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro ou Marques de Oliveira.

Fixado no Porto, aí conheceu Sampaio Bruno, iniciando a sua colaboração em revistas e jornais, entre eles O Primeiro de Janeiro, Folha Nova, Arte & vida (1904-1906), Atlântida (1915-1920), no periódico O Azeitonense (1919-1920) e ainda no Boletim do Sindicato Nacional dos Jornalistas (1941-1945).

Depois de se reconciliar com a família, viaja pela Europa, Norte de África e Próximo Oriente, em representação comercial para negociar os produtos agrícolas produzidos pelas propriedades do pai (frutos secos, nomeadamente amêndoas e figos) o que alarga consideravelmente os seus horizontes culturais.

Carreira política e diplomática

Republicano convicto, depois da Implantação da República, o Governo Provisório, nomeia-o Enviado Extraordinário e Ministro plenipotenciário de Portugal em Londres, em substituição do Marquês de Soveral, tendo a 11 de Outubro de 1911 apresenta as suas credenciais ao rei Jorge V do Reino Unido, em Londres, onde se encontrava a família real portuguesa no exílio. Durante esse período, iniciou esforços para o reconhecimento da República. Tendo cultivando boas relações com a imprensa, na sociedade inglesa e até junto da família real.

Durante a I Guerra Mundial, defendeu sempre a a entrada de Portugal no conflito, o que lhe custou o cargo em 1918, com a ascensão de Sidónio Pais há Presidência da República, mantendo o preso durante um mês, no Hotel Avenida Palace.

Depois da morte de Sidónio Pais, Teixeira Gomes é readmitido na carreira diplomática, tendo sido nomeado Ministro Plenipotenciário em Madrid e representante da delegação portuguesa à Conferência de Paz, em Paris. A 20 de Março de 1919 foi feito Grã-Cruz da Antiga, Nobilíssima e Esclarecida Ordem Militar de Sant'Iago da Espada, do Mérito Científico, Literário e Artístico. Em maio de 1919, torna-se de novo Ministro plenipotenciário de Portugal em Londres, cargo que manterá até à sua tomada de posse como Presidente da República em 1923. Em 1922, foi nomeado delegado de Portugal junto da Sociedade das Nações, tendo ocupando uma das vice-presidências da organização.

Presidência da República
Apoiado pelo Partido Democrático, foi eleito Presidente da República na sessão do Congresso de 6 de agosto de 1923. A vitória chegou ao terceiro escrutínio com 121 votos, vencendo Bernardino Machado, do Partido Nacionalista. Regressou a Portugal no dia 3 de outubro de 1923, chegando a Lisboa de forma glamorosa, num cruzador britânico cedido pela Coroa inglesa.

Um dos desejos de Teixeira Gomes era a criação de um governo nacional, sob a égide de Afonso Costa, mas está ideia nunca ira para frente por conta da instabilidade politica. Com a queda do governo de Ginestal Machado, iniciou-se um período de grande instabilidade que duraria até ao fim do seu mandato, entre dezembro de 1923 e agosto de 1925, deu posse a seis governos. Durante este período seguiram-se o governo de Álvaro de Castro, marcado por grandes comícios organizados pelas forças políticas e sindicais de esquerda, seguindo o governo de Rodrigues Gaspar, marcado este, por enumeras tentativas de golpe de Estado, o governo José Domingues dos Santos, tendo este, um programa excessivamente radical de esquerda, sendo este obrigado a se demitir três meses depois, e por fim o governo de Vitorino Guimarães.

A crescente instabilidade política fez com que vários setores de direita e grande parte do Exército demonstrassem uma crescente simpatia por soluções autoritárias. As tentativas de golpe de Estado sucederam-se, o primeiro em 5 de março de 1925, por Filomeno da Câmara, a esta sucedeu a revolta de 18 de Abril, também conhecida por Golpe dos Generais, que constituiu o primeiro ensaio para o movimento de 28 de maio de 1926. Durante esta revolta, Teixeira Gomes chegou apresentar a renuncia à Presidência da República, que retirou depois da calorosa manifestação do Parlamento.

Ao longo do seu mandato, e apesar da instabilidade política e da insegurança, Teixeira Gomes tentou transmitir uma imagem de tranquilidade: era frequente vê-lo a passear ou a marcar presença em sessões culturais, mas a agitação começou a subir de tom, derivada as revoltas, escândalos bancários e instabilidade politica.

Renúncia
Por fim, a 10 de dezembro de 1925, depois de constantemente atacado pelos nacionalistas e monárquicos, que exigiam a sua demissão, desgostoso com o rumo da política e incapaz de intervir, Manuel Teixeira Gomes renuncia à Presidência da República, alegando questões de saúde e vontade em dedicar-se exclusivamente à obra literária, sendo esta aceite no dia seguinte.

Após a Presidência e morte
No dia 17 de dezembro, embarca no cargueiro holandês Zeus, com rumo a Oran, na Argélia, num auto-exílio voluntário. Teixeira Gomes nunca mais regressaria a Portugal

Durante 6 anos viaja por vários países, França, Itália, Holanda, Marrocos, Argélia e Tunísia. no inicio de setembro de 1931, chegou a Bougie, na então Argélia francesa, decidindo fixar aí residência. Durante este período escreve a maior parte das suas obras como, Cartas a Columbano (1932), Novelas Eróticas (1935), Regressos (1935), Miscelânea (1937), Carnaval Literário (1939), Ana Rosa (1941). Nem os casamentos das filhas e nascimento dos netos, o fazem regressar a Portugal, a pesar de troca correspondência com familiares e amigos

Morre em Bougie em 18 de outubro de 1941, aos 81 anos, no quarto número 13 do Hotel l'Etoile, onde residira nos últimos 10 anos. Foi inicialmente sepultado no cemitério cristão da vila.

A pedido da família, em 18 de outubro de 1950, os seus restos mortais voltaram a Portugal, numa cerimónia que veio a tornar-se provavelmente na mais controversa manifestação popular, ocorrida na já então cidade de Portimão, nos tempos do Salazarismo. No funeral estiveram presentes as suas duas filhas, Ana Rosa Teixeira Gomes Calapez e Maria Manuela Teixeira Gomes Pearce de Azevedo. Ficou sepultado no Cemitério Municipal de Portimão.

Vida pessoal
Em 1899, conhece Belmira das Neves, por quem se apaixona, passando a viver em união de facto com a mesma, que contava à data apenas 14 anos e o companheiro, 39, facto que causou resistência por parte das famílias. O relacionamento de ambos nunca se traduziu numa vida comum, tendo Teixeira Gomes viajado e residido sozinho durante quase toda a sua vida adulta. Os negócios da família obrigam-no desde cedo a viagens longas, sobretudo em torno do Mediterrâneo e do Médio Oriente. Nunca se casaram, no entanto, tiveram duas filhas, Ana Rosa Teixeira Gomes, nascida em 1906 e Maria Manuela Teixeira Gomes, nascida em 1910. Em 1923, Teixeira Gomes se torna Presidente da República, Belmira das Neves decide permanecer em Portimão, longe do companheiro, e quando este parte para o exílio voluntário e renuncia o cargo de Presidente, não mais se voltam a ver, trocando cartas esporadicamente, mas acabam por se separar em 1925.

Homenagens
Deixou uma considerável obra literária, integrada na corrente nefelibata. As suas obras completas estão disponíveis ao grande público através de edição recente.

A Rua Manuel Teixeira Gomes, em Marvila, Lisboa, recebeu o seu nome.

USAID announces joint $30m commitment to unlock finance for agribusinesses in Africa
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and the IKEA Foundation announced a joint $30 million commitment to Aceli Africa, an innovative program that incentivizes banks to lend to agribusinesses. With this commitment, Aceli Africa will unlock an additional $700 million by 2025 for 750 agribusinesses in the United Republic of Tanzania and the Republics of Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.
Through Aceli Africa, banks will make loans to small and medium-sized agribusinesses that reach underserved populations, with the goal of reaching one million smallholder farmers. The program will also inject new data, boosting government and investor confidence in African agriculture, in order to jumpstart lending to this undercapitalized sector for decades to follow. Investments like the one announced today advance the mission of the U.S. Government's Feed the Future initiative to end global poverty and hunger by creating employment for millions of people across Africa, and support Prosper Africa's goal of promoting a significant increase in two-way trade between the United States and the African continent.
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) account for 60 percent of agricultural production and trade in emerging economies in sub-Saharan Africa. However, they face an investment shortfall of up to $65 billion every year because financial institutions are hesitant to loan money to the sector. This hinders the growth of African economies and limits people from breaking out of the vicious cycle of poverty and hunger. Closing this gap in financing is key to inclusive growth in Africa and around the world.
Through this joint investment in Aceli Africa and other programs under Feed the Future and Prosper Africa, USAID works with the private sector to scale up and sustain long-term financing for commercial enterprises and help countries move beyond the need for foreign assistance.

Now that much of Europe has announced its intentions to join the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), was Washington's initial opposition a mistake? Assuming the AIIB does get off the ground, what might it mean for future competition between the world's two largest economies in the arena of global development finance and, by extension, in the realm of soft power? — The Editors
Many of the concerns the U.S. has with China's Asian-Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) are valid. The problem with developing much-needed infrastructure in Asia is not money—the world is floating in money right now—but selecting and managing projects in way that will deliver the desired results. Given the track record of development lending by China's existing policy banks (the China Ex-Im Bank and China Development Bank), at best the AIIB risks being merely a vehicle to "buy business" for Chinese companies and absorb China's huge overcapacity. At worst, it threatens to undermine the "good governance" that is key to the region's genuine economic development. Many of the U.S. allies who broke ranks to join the bank appear—like the U.K., eager to win China's "blessing" as an offshore RMB trading hub—to have done so for deeply misguided and even delusional reasons.
All that said, it's hard to think of a more ham-fisted and ineffectual way to deal with these concerns than the U.S. employed. It was a classic case of "you can't beat something with nothing." The Chinese have accumulated a large pool of savings, and to pretend that Chinese capital won't play a role in the global economy—with or without U.S. permission—is simply untenable. Issuing a blanket "no" to Chinese capital, rather than offering constructive ideas or alternatives, was never going to fly. Strong-arming allies isn't going to work if it looks like China has a plan, and the U.S. is just a carping bystander.
The AIIB potentially has flaws. One of two things will happen: either those flaws will become evident, or China will find a way (perhaps working with other member countries) to overcome them. Either way, China has taken the lead and whining about it isn't a convincing argument.
If the U.S. wants to lead, then lead. Making progress—and a real commitment—to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is one way to do this. But the Obama Administration, despite pursuing these objectives, has yet to make them a real priority. President Clinton sent Vice President Gore out to debate NAFTA with Ross Perot on live TV. He spent real (and precious) political capital to bat down opposition (much of it within his own party) and ensure congressional passage. By letting pending Free Trade Agreements with South Korea and Colombia twist in the wind for most of his first term, President Obama sent the signal, to friends and foes alike, that his trade agenda wasn't very important, and certainly not worth fighting for.
Into that leadership void has stepped China, with a different vision for the global economy. Can we really blame our friends for taking them more seriously, if we fail to contest that vision in a more credible way?
That the United States is not going to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is in and of itself not a surprise. But the level of fury in recent weeks Washington has put on public display, is in several ways beyond expectation.
First, China has offered to have a process of negotiation in establishing the AIIB. Among other things, Natalie Lichtenstein, a lawyer who worked at the World Bank for over 30 years, was invited to help prepare the bank's charter. That gesture alone is indication that China, too, wants the bank to build on experiences and lessons of existing multilateral development banks. After all, being the largest underwriter, China has the greatest stake in seeing the proposed bank start off with a well-thought through institutional structure.
Second, the AIIB is but one among a number of initiatives China has tabled in relating to the rest of the world economy in the same time frame. For example, the pilot Shanghai Free Trade Zone, its follow-up enlargement, and recent expansion to Fujian, Guangdong, and Tianjin, is an indication that China is serious about further liberalizing its own investment and trade policies. In other words, China is demonstrating that it is committed to reform its own policies, rather than just asking others follow it.
Third, it was only a couple of months ago when the United States and China agreed on ten-year multiple visa arrangements for their respective passport holders. This is transformational. Many Western countries followed suit, though to varying degrees. After all, with more convenient international travel, an ever growing number of practitioners of the cross-border trade and investment stand to benefit. When it comes to internationalizing Chinese foreign investment projects, it is investment practitioners, not code drafters, who matter more. Washington's public disapproval of the AIIB sends out a message of confusion of its intent.
The concerns of the United States and some of its allies about the AIIB not being an exact copy of the World Bank or the Asian Development Bank in governance structure are in some ways understandable. Still, it is hardly convincing to somehow indicate that Washington is in reality saying that a new development institution cannot be innovative.
The last thing China and other founding members of the AIIB want is validation of their critics' and skeptics' fears—not just in the outside world but domestically inside China as well. The real test is not so much who is in the AIIB and who is not. Rather, it is whether or not the bank's proceedings can prevail after its former establishment.
To see the ongoing developments associated with AIIB as a manifestation of competition in soft power between Beijing and Washington is overbearing. After all, no country has money to burn.
For China, it will be ill-advised to see Washington's disapproval of its allies in joining the AIIB as an affront. As a traditional Chinese saying goes: "One only can be enlightened by listening to both sides, and will end up benighted if one only heeds himself" (jiāntīng zémíng, piān xìn zé àn / 兼听则明,偏信则暗).
For the United States, if it is concerned about the AIIB's effect on its soft power, it can serve itself better by keeping an open mind about the project. Collaboration on specific investment projects to come will be a plus, too.
In 2005, then United States Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick famously called on China to be a "responsible stakeholder." He meant that China needed not only to comply with its international commitments, but also to provide public goods to the international community. Well, be careful what you wish for.
Since then China has become much more active in global governance. Chinese occupy leadership positions in a wide range of institutions. In 2013, China helped broker an interim deal in the World Trade Organization's Doha Round, and in November 2014, China, along with the U.S., made a new pledge to limit carbon emissions, creating momentum heading into the United Nations meeting in Paris later this year. But the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is China's first signature contribution.
China certainly could have done a better job of selling the need for a new development bank. It is still unclear why it would be impossible to improve the quality and quantity of development assistance in Asia through either the Asian Development Bank (ADB) or the World Bank. The arguments that those banks were un-fixable and not open to a greater Chinese role or that China deserves pride of place in a new institution given how much it is contributing leave the impression that the AIIB is a vanity piece or a disguised cash register for Chinese state-owned enterprises.
That said, the U.S. has performed even worse. Although joining the AIIB was not an option since Congress would not have allocated the funds, the U.S. could have adopted the posture of a friendly outside voice. Instead, it discouraged others from joining in the hope the initiative would collapse or leave China with a small "coalition of the willing." They argued that the bank would not follow international best practices, but in reality it appears the U.S. opposed the AIIB simply because it was a Chinese initiative, full stop. Such knee-jerk antagonism gives life to arguments that the U.S. opposes China's rise and is bent on containing it. Even more important, American bungling fuels the perception that China can drive a wedge between the U.S. and its allies and that U.S. leadership in Asia is on the wane just when it is needed more than ever.
It's a shame that China did not provide greater reassurances early on that the bank would not be a tool of Chinese industrial policy and geo-strategic maneuvering, and that the U.S. did not do more to pursue such reassurances and find a way to serve as a constructive supporter. The "best practices" of existing multilateral aid institutions too often have not translated into sustained poverty alleviation and development. There are many other areas of global governance in need of reform, and we can be sure that the AIIB will not be China's last major initiative. Let's hope China and the U.S. learn from this experience and find ways to identify areas in need of change where they can collaborate or at least not get in each other's way, instead of being in opposite camps and forcing others in the region and elsewhere to pick sides. Then both countries will be able to justly claim they are truly acting as responsible stakeholders.
The Obama Administration has obviously made a major strategic blunder in resisting the establishment of the China-initiated Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). Many of America's most loyal allies have rejected the folly of this intransigence. By opting to join the start-up of this new international lending institution, they will be much better positioned to shape the governance of the AIIB as insiders rather than voice criticism as outsiders, as the U.S. apparently prefers. Washington's Cold-War style criticism of its allies for their "constant accommodation" of China is a new and embarrassing low in the China debate.
It is both ironic and hypocritical that Washington's response is to circle the wagons around the existing Bretton Woods institutions—the IMF and the World Bank. The U.S. Congress has repeatedly dragged its feet on IMF reforms. And lending programs of the U.S.-dominated World Bank have done little to address infrastructure deficiencies in any part of the world. The Asian Development Bank estimates an Asian infrastructure void of some $8 trillion over the 2010 to 2020 period. Clearly new lending capacity is needed to meet this daunting challenge.
Nor does the AIIB pose a threat to more established and experienced international lending institutions. Its initial capital base of $50 billion is less than a third of that which supports the Asian Development Bank and less than a quarter of that held by the World Bank. Surely, an $80 trillion global economy can afford to support much greater lending capacity than is the case today.
But there is a more sinister aspect of Washington's resistance to this China-sponsored initiative. It is but the latest in an increasingly worrisome string of anti-China actions. The Obama Administration has focused on the Trans Pacific Partnership as its signature initiative on trade liberalization; unfortunately, TPP excludes China, the source of America's largest trade imbalance. Yet another anti-China currency manipulation bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate. And there are ongoing frictions over cyber issues, as well as over territorial claims in the China Sea. Suddenly, America's Asian pivot seems like nothing more than a thinly veiled China containment strategy.
Is the rise of China a risk or an opportunity? Washington is clearly fixated on the threat—all but ignoring the benefits that are likely to come with the emergence of a consumer-led Chinese economy. This shouldn't be so surprising. History tells us that dominant powers always have trouble with rising powers. Washington is bristling over China's ascendancy. China, with the baggage of 150 years of a perceived sense of deep humiliation by the West, doesn't take kindly to that reaction. The AIIB folly only deepens concerns over an increasingly troubled relationship. A rethink by Washington is urgently needed.
From a European standpoint, the current debate about China's AIIB initiative seems overblown. If we move beyond the media hype, we are not witnessing the beginning of the end of the U.S.-led global financial order. Neither do we see a major political re-orientation of U.S. allies across the globe, certainly not in Germany.
Nevertheless, the ongoing institutionalization of AIIB and the surrounding political maneuvering provides the U.S. and European countries with a learning opportunity. It's a fact to be recognized: the global financial order is undergoing fundamental changes and the further regionalization of development financing is just one dimension of this transition. New initiatives to provide financial asistance in times of crisis as well as the broader structural transformation of the international monetary system will repeatedly confront us with a similar set of challenges. The expectation that nothing will change would indeed be foolish. Fortunately, most experts, including the other contributors to this conversation, seem to agree on that.
Obviously much more U.S.-European and intra-E.U. communication and coordination is needed to manage the necessary changes and also the public diplomacy side of this transformation. It is indeed remarkable how little real dialogue and concrete transatlantic initiatives have materialized since 2007/2008 beyond the relatively stagnant G20 coordination and the difficult joint management of the Euro Crisis.
Some observers frame adaptation in global financial order simply as an issue subordinate to existing military alliance patterns. This is not a particularly fruitful starting point for the much needed dialogue. And of course, specific material interests of European countries differ: With regard to the policy agenda of the AIIB, Europe has much more immediate interests than the U.S. in the infrastructural development of the Eurasian continent not least because the EU is a leading exporter of construction services.
More profoundly, both Europe and the U.S. heavily depend on the success of China's structural transformation, of which the AIIB and other financial initiatives by China are an external manifestation. In fact, the AIIB is just one of the mechanisms of China's ongoing and welcome experimental financial internationalization in which a flurry of outbound financing instruments are currently being tested. Attempting to block precisely the one initiative that comes closest to "Western" understandings of international financial governance does not seem a wise strategy. On the contrary, the AIIB in its multilateral shape should be seen as a "victory of the system," the result of Chinese learning and as another channel to further integrate and socialize China into multilateral rule-making.
We need to work with China not against it. Framing issues in black or white, with or against "us" will not help in the long run. The competition that AIIB and other China-centered initiatives will pose is a wake-up call to strengthen and adapt the existing institutions to new realities. It also challenges us to find better ways to improve the linkages and networking of complementing financial arrangements and forms of currency cooperation. Efforts at keeping China at bay in international rule-making for the 21st century will almost certainly backfire and reinforce Chinese determination to circumvent the existing order.
People around the world are talking about the failure of U.S. strategy with regard to the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) initiated by China. What went wrong? As I see it, three things did.
First, a misreading of the features of today's world: a misreading the name of the game of our time and a misreading of the trends in world development. For most of the last century, a zero-sum game theory dominated the practice of international relations. The world witnessed two World Wars, and many regional wars and revolutions. The Cold War followed World War II and featured a confrontation between the two superpowers of the day, the United States and the Soviet Union. If the U.S. won, it would mean a Soviet loss. If the U.S.S.R. won, then the U.S.A. would be seen to lose. Over time, people of the world became sick and tired of the tension. Towards the end of the last century, this game theory gradually lost its appeal and was replaced by the positive-sum game. We went from confrontation to win-win cooperation.
There are dual factors behind this change. First, globalization makes nations deeply interdependent. The interests of different countries are profoundly intertwined. If one tries to hurt the other side, it will suffer the pain, too. It's no longer an I-win-you-lose scenario. Second, common challenges face mankind—climate change, terrorism, natural disasters, drug trafficking, and pandemics, to name but a few. No country, no matter how powerful, is able to cope with these challenges alone. The human race is bound to unite for its survival.
What is the trend in world development? Today we are no longer living in a uni-polar world. It is moving towards multi-polarity. The U.S. is no longer in the position to dictate how others should behave. Issues concerning the future of mankind are to be discussed and resolved democratically by all countries involved. Is the U.S. aware of this trend? Does Washington try to adapt to it? I hope America will stop misreading the trends of world development and adapt to the trend towards multipolarity.
After misreading, next came misjudgement. Some Americans suspect that China's initiative to set up the AIIB is aimed at the U.S. They asserted that the new bank would undercut the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Asia Development Bank, and increase China's leverage in the Asia-Pacific region. I would remind those people that China is a member of the World Bank, the IMF, and the ADB. How could China want to hurt these international financial institutions? China's intention in proposing to launch the AIIB is to generate growth in Asia, the global growth center. Infrastructure is the key to the growth and Asia's demand in this respect is huge: about $8 trillion from 2015 to 2020. Obviously, the existing international financial institutions are not able to meet this demand. If the infrastructure demand in Asia, especially East Asia, is met, it is bound to stimulate growth. Growth in the Asia-Pacific region will in turn help generate growth in the U.S., Europe, all of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. If the AIIB proves a success, it surely will become a classic example of a positive-sum game and win-win cooperation.
Further misjudgment concerns the degree to which traditional U.S. allies will continue to "obey" their "big brother." During the Cold War, most U.S. allies stood firmly by Washington's side. With the Cold War over, that kind of obedience is gone.
Finally, misbehavior. First, the U.S. refusal to join the AIIB. The second misbehavior was to try to prevent U.S. allies from joining the would-be new bank.
Misbehavior is a ogical consequence of misreading and misjudging.
What should Washington do now? I hope that common sense will prevail in Washington. People can make mistakes. No one is infallible. When one realizes one's mistake, the smartest thing to do is to correct it as soon as possible. China keeps saying that the door is open for the U.S. to join in the AIIB. I hope the U.S. will do it. This is not a matter of losing face. If the U.S. stays put, it will lose more face. It's up to Washington to make the choice.

Berlin / Munich - The consumer organization Food Watch, in collaboration with the Environmental Institute in Munich on Tuesday informed that the EU-wide limits were increased for radioactive contamination of foodstuffs from Japan and at the same time criticize the information policy of the government.
Since last weekend the EU limit for food from affected areas in Japan, however, was significantly increased.
For example, fish oil or spices to twenty times higher their previous value on what corresponds to 12 500 becquerels per kilogram.
Federal Consumer Protection Minister Ilse Aigner (CSU) would for days on "enhanced control measures" and "special protection standards" refer to the increase in the limits they had not informed the public, however, the consumer organization.

My Sharing Notes that i had learned.
News : TVB series A Change of Heart
Yesterday Bosco Wong, Joey Meng, Mandy Wong, Vincent Wong and Benjamin Yuen attended the final promotional event for TVB series A Change of Heart. It was also Vincent's 30th birthday, the crew gave him a birthday cake to celebrate with him. During the games, Mandy got on Vincent's back for a game of tug-a-war, while Benjamin had Joey on his back. The tall and pale Vincent had trouble carrying Mandy and ended up dripping with sweat. Bosco pointed and laughed at a "ball mark" that Mandy left on Vincent's back, but it turns out the mark came from her necklace. Benjamin ends the game with Joey on the floor. Vincent later expressed Mandy is actually quite fit, he said: "Its because I've been filming overnight lately, so I'm not as strong and keep sweating. (What's your birthday wish?) I wish my wife doesn't have to work anymore and can stay home happily to raise our daughter. (Have more babies?) So pressured! (Raising one or two kids is about the same.) Let me work harder first. I've been working too much lately, kind of weak and can't really do it." In the series, Benjamin and Joey had several passionate kiss scenes. Joey expressed that is her limit. She and her husband watched the scenes together: "So embarrassing. Before filming, I asked do we have to do this? I said to my husband the outcome of me filming these scenes aren't very good, I can't do too much of these scenes. He immediately agreed." She expressed bed scenes are harder than crying scenes, this time her villain role is too heavy and since she already tried it, the next time she wants to shoot happier series. Bosco expressed he'll be starting a new series with Michael Miu in September, but in the meantime he is preparing to open up a restaurant, "I'm looking for a place in Kowloon. (How much are you investing?) At least 7 figures. I'm partnering with 2 or 3 of my friends." He also expressed because he has many friends, he plans to make VIP rooms at his restaurant. Asked if he's paving a path to retire from the television industry? He laughed: "I have to take the normal protective measures." Niki Chow is currently filming in Hengdian and Michael Miu is on vacation with his wife, therefore they were both absent from the promotion. However, Niki communicated with the cast via a long distance phone call. Bosco scolded: "You didn't come, no loyality!" Earlier Niki and Bosco promised to wear swimsuits if A Change of Heart gets high ratings. Yesterday Bosco told Niki he already bought a bikini for her to wear. Niki replied: "I'll be back for the finale, I want to see you in swim briefs too!"

Tank Is Crazy In Love In 'Can't Let It Show'
March 4, 2021 | 6:00 pm
Tank has become quite a thespian over the years, booking numerous TV and film roles, but he's doing some of his best acting in the music video for his new single "Can't Let It Show."
After sampling Kate Bush's original and Maxwell's remake of "This Woman's Work" for the track, he's serving up D'Angelo "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" appeal for the visual. Director TAJ captures Tank shirtless with his muscles rippling against a stark black background in the clip's first few moments. Watching the tatted-up, muscle-bound singer croon into the camera for the duration of the video would have been enough for us, but we soon see that he's not alone. He is joined by P-Valley star Brandee Evans who appears as his estranged leading lady.
Tank displays a range of emotions while he begs and pleads for her forgiveness. Brandee listens to what he has to say and has some choice words of her own for him, but she's good and done with his relationship shenanigans. Tank wants her to know how crazy in love he is, though, even appearing later in the video in a straightjacket. That's not enough to get her to stay, however, and she leaves the singer and his abs in the dust.
"Can't Let It Show" is the first listen from Tank's upcoming new album, which will be released in the coming months. Before that happens, though, the multi-hyphenate will celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album Force Of Nature in a matter of days. Mark your calendar to raise a toast to Tank and Force of Nature on March 13th.

Black Country's Dancing Grannies will join Bollywood star Diljit Dosanjh on upcoming tour - including Birmingham show
Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh will be on the road with his CON.FI.DEN.TIAL tour at the Birmingham Arena, SSE Wembley Arena, and Leeds First Direct Arena on May 19, 26 and 28 with the Grannies on board.
Diljit became aware of the performing pensioners after he was told of them performing in Solihull shopping centre to his track Patiala Pegg.
He eventually tracked the Grannies, the brainchild of the Fizzogs comedy group, via social media and invited them to join his tour.
Black Country comics The Fizzogs, also well-known as The Dancing Grannies, write in today's Express & Star
The life and times of Fizzogs Dancing Grannies. Well, you're probably wondering how it all started, this dancing malarkey.
Well me (Letty), Hilda and May all met back in 1940 summat. We started dancing and just never stopped really. It's like the music takes hold of your body and you just cor seem to control it!
There was a time when we gave up for a while, back in the 90s I think it was.
A café owner has become a major sponsor for comedy group Fizzogs' bid to become Hollywood stars.
Paula Goodyear from the Dudley Fountain Arcade Café has added her support to the fundraising attempt by the Black Country troop's Dancing Grannies to develop a feature film script with award winning writer-director Ben Field.
They are raising money by a crowdfunding page to make a teaser tape to present to producers and investors. So far they have generated more than £600 towards their £2,000 target.
If this catches the attention of the right Hollywood bigwigs then the group are optimistic a movie could be on the cards.
The Fizzogs get their groove on for national Dementia Action Week
Internet sensations the Fizzogs performed to people with dementia and their carers, friends and families at the Dudley Council-run Brett Young Dementia Gateway.

how to use Care Flow Templates to operationalize team workflows.
know what workflows are best suited for a Care Flow template.
know the three tiers of a Care Flow.
know best practices for creating Care Flows with Tasks assigned to the same person, for the same day.
When workflows involve steps that may need to be completed over an extended period of time—or will require inter-team collaboration— Care Flow Templates can be used to better organize these workflows.
Care Flows are displayed in the Patient Profile and organized in three distinct tiers—"Problem," "Goal," and "Task," though Workshop allows you to customize these labels with different terminology, if needed.
The initial tier,"Problem," is displayed in a tab at the top of the Care Flow Clicking the tab displays rows that represent the second tier, the "Goals," which are drafted in response to the "Problem." Clicking on a Goal expands to display the associated "Tasks," the third tier. The objective of a Care Flow is to complete Tasks in order to achieve the Goals, and thereby solve the Problem.
By creating Care Flow Templates, you can operationalize your team's workflows to ensure that steps or key actions are not missed, and reduce manual entry of common Goals or workflows by your team.
For each Care Flow Template, you can set the Problem, Goals, and Tasks for common workflows. Tasks can be configured to assign a default owner or default due-date to support your recurring workflows.
May we suggest: If a Goal contains multiple Tasks which are assigned to the same owner and due on the same day, enter the due-dates but assign only one Task to the owner, saving them from receiving multiple Task Alerts for the same patient and reducing the possibility of Alert fatigue..
Care Flow Templates can be triggered to automatically appear in the Patient Profile by a Process, or manually added by a coach from the drop-down menu of template options.
Important note: Once it's added to the Patient Profile, coaches can manually edit a Care Flows to customize it for their needs. This can include updating Task is assignees and due-dates.


A weekly look at our upcoming opponent's recent history, with animated drive charts, links to SB Nation game pages, and statistical comparisons. Caveats. And yeah, it's a long post, so we put the conclusions and predictions at both the beginning and the end. You're not seeing double.
Akron's stats to date have been compiled against UCF, FIU (both losses), and the Morgan State Bears, so they should be viewed with something approaching extreme skepticism.
That said, SOUND THE ALARM. The Zips are currently ranking extremely high in both passing attack and passing defense. They're also scoring a bunch of points. Fortunately, they're also allowing a bunch of points.
The Zips' rushing attack is either feeble or more of an afterthought than ours. In either case, Tennessee should be able to sell out to stop the pass.
On defense, Akron appears to be pretty good against the pass, but not so good against the run. They also give up a lot of points, to FBS opponents anyway.
Senior QB Dalton Williams is the guy who makes this thing go, and he looks like he spreads it around a lot. His favorite target appears to be senior Marquelo Suel.
If Tennessee still has a Florida hangover, and if they take the Zips lightly, they could be in for a very rude surprise and a worse feeling this week than last.
Yeah, I don't really believe it, either, but the numbers should at the very least get our attention and cause us to take them seriously.
Looking at those schedules, you have to think that playing Florida and NC State trumps UCF and FIU. And the Zips lost two of those games. The Morgan State Bears? Who are they?
On the other hand, UCF and FIU are not complete unknowns. They're Florida teams that have made some noise in the past.
But honestly, that schedule for Akron is wildly inconsistent. They allow an average of nearly 50 points in their first two games and then not even a TD? Then they score 14, then 38, then 66? Who can make sense of that?
Animated Drive Chart brought to you by Gameday Depot.
That's a wholte lot of stuff on the left side of that thing, especially considering it also includes a fumble, two interceptions, and a missed field goal.
Offensive observations. Hmm. Watch out for the passing offense. 378 yards per game is pretty good even against that schedule, I'd think. Fortunately, they can't run. Or maybe they just don't, rather than can't.
Defensive observations. Akron appears to be pretty good at pass defense, but not so good against the run. Overall, they also give up a lot of points.
Special teams and turnovers observations. Nothing to see here.
Offensive Observations. Senior QB Dalton Williams is the guy who makes this thing go, and he looks like he spreads it around a lot. The leading receiver appears to be senior Marquelo Suel.
Defense. Not a whole lot to see here, either, but somebody needs to block senior DL J.D. Griggs.
Special teams. I said earlier that there didn't appear to be anything noteworthy on special teams for the Zips, but Imani Davis is worth some attention.
Again with the caveats: These are informed guesses rather than mathematical calculations, and this early in the season, the guesses are particularly sketchy. But here's the general analytical framework: We are averaging X in a certain category. The opponent averages Y against that, which is most closely comparable to some identified previous opponent, against whom we did Z. All of that leads to an informed guess labeled as Prediction. And one more time for emphasis: The less data you have, the more sketchy the guess, and the guesses range from ALL CAPS SKETCHY WITH EXCLAMATION POINTS at the beginning of the season to merely lower case sketchy for the last game.
This week's example: Tennessee's defense is allowing about 180 yards on the ground. Akron's averaging about 118. Of our prior opponents, that most closely resembles North Carolina State, who is holding opponents to 100 rushing yards per game. We held them to 119, a bit over their average. Allowing for Akron's schedule to some unknown degree, my guess is 110 rushing yards for Akron. The schedule thing factors even more heavily when you look at Akron's passing attack, which, if you just looked a the numbers, would lead to a conclusion of something like 450 yards through the air for them. Their numbers are enough to have my attention, but I'm also skeptical enough of them to not put too much stock in them.
So I have 360 yards of offense for the Vols and . . . 360 yards of offense for Akron. That can't be right, can it? And a score of 42-28? No, I don't really believe it, either, but there it is. It could be a chore to stop these guys if Sal Sunseri's guys don't get it together. And remember Brian Randolph is out and needs to be replaced.
This information is invaluable for anyone trying to get more information on Tennessee Volunteers Vs. Akron Zips. Thank you for taking the time to be so thorough.

Ex-France player backs Laurent Koscielny's World Cup comments as 'his world crumbled around him'
The defender has yet to play since Arsenal's Europa League semi-final defeat against Atletico Madrid
Rob GuestTottenham Hotspur Writer
November fixtures in the Premier League
Former French international Florian Maurice has leapt to the defence of Laurent Koscielny after the Arsenal defender claimed he didn't want his country to win the World Cup.
Looking a certainty to be named in the squad prior to rupturing his Achilles in the Europa League semi-final defeat against Atletico Madrid back in May, the centre-back had to watch on from home as Les Bleus won the famous trophy for the first time since 1998.
Having called time on his international career over the past few days, the 33-year-old has revealed that his country's success did more damage to him than his injury.
Maurice is one person who knows what Koscielny went through, especially after going through exactly the same situation 20 years ago when he was with Paris Saint-Germain.
Transfer news live: Arsenal star 'open' to Chelsea move, Man United legend says: 'Sign Hazard'
In line to represent Aime Jacquet's side on home soil in 1998, the forward cruelly missed out on a place in the squad through injury.
The ex-Lyon striker, speaking to French publication L'Equipe (via Sport Witness ), said: "You think I was dreaming of France being world champions when I was there?
"It's so frustrating. When you win the World Cup, your life changes so much. You can't get rid of that deception.
"You think I have? Six months before, you in the team, six months later you aren't.

"It's a real earthquake.
"Laurent had a human reaction, because his world crumbled around him.
"Everyone thinks like that. It would be dishonest to say the contrary.
"Those who criticise him don't understand his frustration."

Mystic, Conn.
Mary R. Drake
Photo by Robert L. Drake
As you cruise from Long Island Sound up the river to Mystic, Conn., you're following in the wake of well-known yachtsmen and ordinary boaters headed for Mystic Seaport Museum, a must-see treasure trove of New England maritime history for more than 70 years.
The serpentine six-mile Mystic River channel is well-marked and lined with marinas, especially above the railroad swing bridge, which remains open unless a train is expected (VHF channel 13). Above the railroad bridge to port stands the craggy bluff that protected colonial Mystic. Patriots erected a stone barrier there to prevent British invasion during the War of 1812. Local lore says the barricade was named for "Aunt Rachel," who provided water and other favors to the militia.
A half-mile upstream, the iconic downtown bascule bridge connects Mystic's western side (part of Groton) with the eastern (Stonington) side. Openings are 40 minutes past the hour, 6:40 a.m. to 7:40 p.m., from May 1 to Oct. 31, and offseason by reservation. Use VHF channel 13 for contact. As you pass through (boats with the tide go first) you'll get enthusiastic waves from tourists crowding Mystic River Park to watch the 1920s bridge and its twin 230-ton counterweights operate.
You can anchor here and there or tie up in a dozen marinas between the bridges, but the most fun place to overnight is the Seaport. Reservations — (860) 572-5391 — include admission. In a sense, your boat becomes part of the waterfront display, along with the Grand Banks fishing schooner L.A. Dunton, the training ship Joseph Conrad, the steamboat Sabino and others.
You also can dinghy to the north dock. Awaiting you there are exhibits, the extensive nautical library, conversations with "re-enactors" in the re-created 19th century village and a chance to watch shipwrights restoring the 1841 whaling ship Charles W. Morgan. Best of all, as a dock customer you can wander the deserted 17-acre grounds after hours, peopling the historic ships and boats, homes and businesses with your imagination.
About 600 vessels were built in 18th- and 19th century Mystic yards. Many local boats fished inshore, although some sailed to Key West, Fla., and beyond for winter fishing. Others sailed the Seven Seas, bringing back profits and exotic goods for their owners and captains. You can stroll past the impeccably maintained homes of those adventurous seamen on Gravel Street's "Captains' Row."
Wherever you tie up you can walk downtown or dinghy to a public dock (in Mystic River Park, on Water Street below the bascule bridge or just south of the seaport). West Main Street's vintage buildings contain boutiques, art galleries, souvenir shops and about 30 restaurants that should assuage any culinary craving or thirst for a cold brew.
Free loaner "Mystic Community Bikes" (available at local businesses and marinas) are fun, especially on the relatively level mile or so to the Olde Mistick Village shopping and dining complex. You can also board a trolley to those 60 shops, restaurants and the world-renowned Mystic Aquarium and Institute for Exploration. You'll delight in the aquarium's marine mammal shows, penguins, New England's only beluga whales and discoveries by Robert Ballard's teams.
Festivals enliven most weekends, among them the Mystic Outdoor Art Festival (Aug. 13-14) and the Taste of Mystic (Sept. 10-12). Many seaport events feature a boat parade.
With information from the Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center (the Amtrak station off U.S. 1, east side, (860) 572-9758), and maybe the Greater Mystic Visitors Bureau's discount "Mystic Pass Cards" (from area businesses and online), you're ready to enjoy Mystic's historic and modern charms. www.mysticchamber.org, www.mysticseaport.org, www.mysticaquarium.org, www.mystic.org

Q: Send two value Javascript .get() I tried to send the one values to another file with the following script :
    function getDetail(){
        $.get("folder/selectfile2.php?opt2="+$("#id1").val(), function(data){
             $("#data_detail").html(data);
          });
     }

This works, but I want two values. And I try the following script :
    function getDetail(){
        $.get("folder/selectfile2.php?opt1="+$("#id1")+"&opt2="+$("#id2").val(), function(data){   //missing value id1
             $("#data_detail").html(data);
          });
     }

on >> selectfile2.php
$a=$_GET['opt1'];
$b=$_GET['opt2'];
echo"$a and $b";

but it does not work. only $b, which looks.
is there something wrong?

A: A very simple error, maybe you were looking too hard and missed it.
Changes: $("#id1") ==> $("#id1").val()
function getDetail(){
   $.get("folder/selectfile2.php?opt1="+$("#id1").val()+"&opt2="+$("#id2").val(), function(data){
    $("#data_detail").html(data);
   });
}

I hope this helps you. Happy coding!

A: Try this
function getDetail(){
    $.get("folder/selectfile2.php?opt1="+$("#id1").val()+"&opt2="+$("#id2").val(), function(data){   //missing value id1
         $("#data_detail").html(data);
      });
 }

A: you just forget .val() :) ,correct to this :
 function getDetail(){
        $.get("folder/selectfile2.php?opt1="+$("#id1").val()+"&opt2="+$("#id2").val(), function(data){   //missing value id1
             $("#data_detail").html(data);
          });

This is a race boat, with an uncompromising attitude towards winning performance. Designed to the highest standard from the award winning Lutra Design Group, with structural engineering by SP Systems (now Gurit) and built by V1 Advanced Composite Technologies in Dubai.
First selected by Spanish America's Cup teams, the V1 Lutra 30 was the preferred match race, training boats for two cycles of the America's Cup in Valencia.
Selected because of the boats stiffness and performance characteristics, using advanced composite infusion with epoxy E-glass in female moulds and with a high modulus 12.45metre carbon fibre Hall Spars mast.
The boats also feature diesel inboard engines and are readily trailer-able.
With a waterline length longer than a Farr30 at 8.57metres and with a displacement of just 1,850kgs and a powerful carbon mast, this boat has the potential to win in HP30.
The boat has been owned by a professional sailing school for the last eight years, with little use. Currently lying in Portugal it can easily be collected and brought back to the UK. To fit HP30 Class the boats will need the addition of a centre-line fixed bowsprit.
The boats also feature petrol inboard engines and are readily trailer-able.
