Since the onset of sea transportation of containers, American and European ports had been the main consolidation and distribution centers. But today, the market share rate of East Asian ports in global container transportation markets is more than 50%. In this study, we analyzed data from the top 100 container ports in the world in 2000-2004 and found that East Asian ports have become key points in the growth of global container volumes. We found that due to gaps in the development of container volumes, East Asian ports have become stratified and divided into different grades of hub ports and feeder ports. The research also found that the dramatic growth of Mainland China's ports has affected market share rates of container volumes in Taiwan and other ports in East Asia.

For Graef the Gypsy palace is a public building, not in the sense that it is open to everybody, but in contrast to the European model of the nuclear family's private house; "private" in the Roma context is an "unacceptable concept for the self-identification of the individual" (p. 125). [...] there remain some unanswered questions, such as "Why have the Gypsy palaces become so prominent while no architect has ever reflected on the architectural language of the Kalderash tends or the Roma caravans?", and "Are tents and caravans not to be considered as architectural expressions of a lifestyle and, if so, who defines that?" Further, tents and caravans shape(d) everyday life and public spaces all over Europe without, however, being noticed as a cultural contribution to cities and places.

Capitation payment - or any payment featuring supply-side cost sharing (Ellis and McGuire, 1990) - gives health plans and providers the incentive to manipulate their offerings to deter the sick and attract the healthy. This behavior is variously known as risk selection, plan manipulation, cream skimming, or cherry picking (Newhouse, 1996; Cutler and Zeckhauser, 1998, 2000). When health plans compete to avoid the sick rather than provide quality care, the most vulnerable patients may experience access problems, and all patients suffer from the selection-motivated distortions in quality. Selection may also prevent individuals from being able to buy insurance against becoming a bad risk in the future (Newhouse, 1996; Feldman and Dowd, 2000). Selection thus poses problems of both efficienc...

Leaders need to model the kind of communication that they view as critical to the success of their organization. The Center for Advanced Emotional Intelligence's (AEI) model of effective leadership connects the five critical elements required for a company's sustainable high performance: personality, leadership, collaboration, culture, and commitment. The model is summarized as follows: 1. removing barriers to self-knowledge and authenticity, 2. developing an authentic leadership style and applying it for effective decision-making, 3. communicating to create unity without consensus, 4. helping the leader create an environment that enhances openness, candor and dissent as essential characteristics of communication, and 5. committing to a Level 5 environment for sustainably good results. ...
