my fiancee, a new zealand citizenship, vows to go marriage with me if i come with my daughter to Auckland in September. currently, after a journey in China with her, she pulls pack her promise! in order to go and live with her, i've donated most of my daily necessaries to the charity of my community and abdicated my job in Shanghai. i also spent my savings to buy stuffs that she thought necessary in Auckland, pay fees on passport, visa etc for my daughter and i... i think what she did is a shame to my daughter and i and, is against the partnership morality. i hope to find a way out for i'm in a deep sorrow... tnx.

perhaps there is a way that you can sue her for breech of promise. she promised to marry you, and YOU made the changes necessary to be with her, now that she has changed her mind, you have lost a great deal. perhaps legally there is a way to get from her what you have lost, or at least HALF of what you lost.
contact a lawyer...of course this will be international law..but its worth checking into.

Poems. ...

Together with the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, everyone is talking about the huge opportunities opening up in China. As the chinese government is liberalizing the economy, industries such as tourism, manufacturing and service are investing their revenue especially for the upcoming Olympic Games.

China expects a huge pre-Olympic investment boom and feels very optimistic towards the Beijing's Olympic economy. MNCs in the market sectors such as telecommunications, banking and real estate are planning to hop onto the bandwagon and take the chance to market their brand globally as the driving forces of the China market are prevailing. Ambitious companies from all over the world want a piece of the growing market benefits.

Both domestic and foreign brands are trying to get hold of the chance to showcase their brand value. For local brands, the Olympics would help them to expose the brand internationally as foreigners would be entering China for the Olympics in 2008. Foreign investors are also trying to enter into the China market as the Chinese government is liberalizing the economy.

However, entrance to China market does have its flipped side. Like a two sided coin, the China market is attractive due to their large consumer demand and growth prospect but China is not an easy market. As China has its unique business style and a rich heritage culture, many foreign investors are finding it hard to make it work in China.

Foreign-invested companies bring a myriad of benefits to China, namely investment, expertise, management techniques and jobs of all levels. However, Chinese companies fear foreign investors' competitive advantages and are moving fast to solidify their own market share.

Domestic companies have grown in confidence and enhanced their products quality. With better products and marketing tactics, local companies are increasing their market share and profits. This is one of the downfalls for foreign investors in the China market. Foreign companies have to find ways to fight off the local competition whereby some had to lower their prices to gain more market share.

It is very important to partner up with local firms as establishing in China requires patience and commitment. Local firms will provide the necessary network (Guanxi) for foreign investors with regard to the administrative work or business dealings.

The Chinese places a strong importance on having a good relationship (Guanxi) with all types of organizations regardless if they are commercial or personal based. The Chinese uses the Chinese word, “Guanxi” to represent any close relationship they have with an individual or an organization. Having Guanxi in China would allow things to be done faster and allow a higher chance of clinching a deal. Furthermore, companies need to pay close attention to the local culture and regulations.

There are effective ways to enter into the China market without treating the China market like a lion’s den. One would be to find out a detailed research on China market. In addition, consulting a local individual or organization would enable an easier access to China market network and providing their expertise on handling the Chinese culture and procedures.

First Olympic Torch Lit - Beijing Keeps the Fires Alive

The Olympic Torch is a symbol of the Olympics Games. Its origins were in a myth about stealing the fire for the torch from the Greek God Zeus by Prometheus.

Prometheus was a Greek Titan and after stealing the fire was punished by Zeus. Prometheus was also the brother of another Greek Titan named Atlas, who was punished by Zeus for siding with his brother and was forced to hold up the sky.

But let's get back to the origin of the first Olympic torch.

The Modern Olympic Games were inaugurated in Athens in 1896, and are held at the beginning of every Olympiad

Of course the Olympic torch traces its history back to ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics to honor Zeus.

The Olympic Flame disappeared from the Olympics and then was reintroduced during the 1928 Games. A worker for the Electric Utility of Amsterdam, lit the first Olympic flame.

The idea of moving the Olympic torch via a relay system from Olympia to the Olympic began with the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany.

The idea was part of Hitler's propaganda machine to link Aryan superiority to the Greek games.

The modern convention of moving the Olympic Flame via a relay system from Olympia to the Olympic venue began with the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany.

So it has been since then as every 4 years the Olympic Torch is relayed to the next venue.

The most incredible passing of the torch occurred at the 1992 Barcelona Games, when Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo lit the cauldron by shooting a burning arrow over it from a platform at the opposite end of the stadium. This was only a "symbolic" ignition, since the arrow never made it into the Olympic cauldron.

The Olympics have always held out to many the ability of man-kind to unite and celebrate in the spirit of sport. It is also a means for all of us to understand the importance of not only developing our mind but our bodies as well.

To learn more about how to build muscle and get in shape for any sport visit http://www.build-muscle-guide.com there you will find tons of FREE information, videos, tips and more that will guide you along the way. Keep the spirit of the First Olympic Torch alive.

China's cement output is forecast to grow 10% per annum between 2008 and 2010. Due to the regulatory guidance of "eliminating old capacity before establishing capacity", growth of new cement production capacity may somehow slow down in the next few years, and it may even result in supply shortage in some regional markets at some stage. Overall cement prices are expected to climb steadily upwards, due to factors such as supply-demand structure, higher costs of coal and electricity input. Organic growth of the cement industry should be able to deliver satisfactory operating results in the coming years.

The chinese government has mandated the elimination of 250 million tons of outdated cement production capacity by 2010, so it is expected that industry consolidation will accelerate and market shares and industry profits will be further concentrated to strong companies. Therefore, there will be additional value created by acquisition opportunities as a result of industry consolidation.

Organic growth delivered satisfactory results

The industrialisation and urbanisation progress in China should continue to expand the demand for cement products. Due to the rising cement price domestically and the removal of export rebates on cement product in July 2007, China had experienced a 10% decline in cement exports in the second half of 2007 over previous comparable period (pcp). The impact from the removal of export rebates has only been here for about half a year, so it will become clearer after the full year of 2008. Analysts are forecasting that China's net cement export will be maintained at 40 million tons between 2008 and 2010. Taking into account both domestic and export cement demands, China's cement industry shall see a 10% pa growth in demand in the next three years.

On the other hand, cement supply growth may slow down in China. It is estimated that the Chinese cement industry had completed US$7.2 billion worth of fixed asset investments in 2007. The industry's investment growth in 2007, which was up 7.78% from 2006, was prompted by factors including changing cement product mix, accelerated elimination of outdated capacity and pressure from energy saving and emission reducing mandates.

Taking into account the "eliminating before establishing" regulatory arrangement on adding new capacity for dry-processed cement, capacity growth of dry-processed cement in China is expected to grow 10%, 9% and 8% between 2008 and 2010. The elimination of old capacities may even create periodic supply shortage in some regional markets in the short term. But the supply and demand balance should be restored towards 2010 as the existing 250 million tons of outdated capacity gradually retires from the Chinese market.

At present, 60% of the global cement market is concentrated in the hands of the top 50 cement manufacturers worldwide. However, China's low industry concentration domestically has become the main reason for market price volatility and low-end price competition, and such averagely low capacity size will also hinder the utilisation of scale production. Therefore, as a result of elimination of outdated capacity, organic capacity investment and external acquisition, China's cement industry concentration can be improved to 18.1% and 19.6% in 2008 and 2009 respectively.

The improvement in industry concentration can lead to scale efficacy. On one hand, as entry barrier getting higher and locally-produced cement production equipment getting larger, there will be many large scale cement production lines being established, which could improve production efficiency. And the localisation of cement equipment may also reduce the fixed cost and breakeven points for Chinese cement companies. On the other hand, the improvement in industry concentration may also improve leading cement producers' bargaining power against suppliers and customers, thus expanding industry profit margins.

Reorganisation value from industry consolidation

The Chinese cement market is a highly competitive market, and cement is a commodity with homogeneous quality across the board. When staffing and technological levels are at a similar level, price competition will become the main competing method. Therefore, the commodity nature of cement has determined that scale expansion will be the driving force for cement manufacturers, in order to achieve advantageous competitive positioning.

Take the example of Anhui Conch Cement Co Ltd, China's largest cement producer. The Chizhou, Anhui Province-based cement company had grown from producing 2 million tons of cement clinker in 1996, to producing 59 million tons of clinker and 65 million tons of cement in 2006, by means of serial mergers, acquisitions and scale expansion. Conch Cement has been the largest producers in China for 10 consecutive years, and it is also the largest supplier of cement and clinker in Asia and the fourth largest globally.

Mandatory elimination of outdated capacity may help effectively improve industry concentration. The minimum scale threshold required by industry regulators could notably enhance per unit (of production lines) capacity, providing a technological foundation for industry concentration. The mandate of eliminating 250 million tons of outdated cement capacity by 2010 will no doubt encourage industry consolidation, which will in turn accelerate industry concentration.

Although it is difficult to point out specific targets, deals and timing, it can be reasonably expected that industry reshuffling in the Chinese cement market will intensify in the near future. Leading regional producers may be able to strengthen their positions via mergers and acquisitions, and the Chinese cement industry will eventually be dominated by a few regional leaders. On one hand, strong cement players will try to "unite" with small and medium players in surrounding regions, with the objective of becoming regional leaders. On the other hand, multinational cement giants will establish their presence in selective market spots in China, pressuring domestic cement producers to engage in more M&A activities to secure regional market shares. As the Chinese cement industry is still having a low degree of concentration, synergetic benefits from industry consolidation could be quite notable in the period of 2008 and 2010. Therefore, industry consolidation may be able to effectively contribute to cement producers' bottom lines, in addition to their organic capacity growth.

The origin soccer really nobody knows exactly when and where it was originated. Researcher discovered that the game similar to our modern soccer called tsu chu means kicking ball. It was played in China during Ts'in Dynasty (255BC-206BC) as the traditional game for birthday celebration of their Emperor.

During Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) the game continues and become popular in China. They played the game by men and women as individual rather than working it as a team. The rules of soccer are very simple by simply kicking the ball you already playing football or soccer.
