CHINA GROWTH OF INDUSTRIALIZATION IS INCREASING CANCER FOR ITS CITIZEN IN THE DISTRICT OF JINSHAN AS THE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT OF THE PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY GOES UNCHECKED

M Y is a shopkeeper in Zengfeng, a village in the district of Jinshan. He took part in several protests last week.

Cancer is so widespread in my village that everyone has at least three loved ones that have been struck by cancer. My 66-year-old mother has lung cancer. My 57-year-old uncle, who worked in a petrochemical factory, has blood cancer. And my sister-in-law, who's 33 years old, has breast cancer. From 2006 to 2009, in barely three years, there were around 30 deaths from cancer out of 3,400 residents in the village. That's without precedent [Editor's note: The figure was published in a study carried out by a University Hospital in Beijing.That's more than twice the national average, according to Xinhua]. Last year, our village was listed as being one of 'hundreds of cancer villages' by the press, but I'm not even surprised. That's what it's like for every family here.

WITH APPLE REAPING A 92% PROFIT FOR ITS SMARTPHONE SOLD WORLDWIDE AND THE COMPETITION FROM SAMSUNG ONLY 15%, AND THE REST WITH PROFIT LOSS–EVEN WHEN SAMSUNG OWNS THE SMARTPHONE MARKET SALES OF 21% VERSUS APPLE AT 14%–THE APPLE CORE LOOKS TO BE UNSTOPPABLE

There are an estimated 1,000 smartphone manufacturers around the world. The playing field became overcrowded as the devices gained in popularity and became essential to people's lives. But only a small number of manufacturers make a profit.
When market researcher Canaccord Genuity analyzed the first-quarter earnings of eight major smartphone makers, it found that Apple reaps 92 percent of the total operating profit in the industry. Samsung came a distant second with 15 percent. The total is more than 100 because the remaining six posted operating losses.

In terms of volume, Samsung accounts for a whopping 21 percent of the global smartphone market, with Apple behind at 14 percent. But when it comes to profitability the picture is very different.
Apple makes its staggering profits by selling only premium phones. Samsung has made endless attempts to catch up with Apple, making its phones thinner and lighter, mounting them with high-resolution cameras, trying to curve the gadgets and coating their backs with leather, but all to no avail.

THE BOOK THE CREATOR’S CODE REVEALS 6 ESSENTIALS SKILLS TO ENTREPRENEURS SUCCESS BY AUTHOR AMY WILKINSON

…..According to the strategic adviser, none of the entrepreneurs had the skills to plan and create a $100 million business initially. They worked arduously and waited for the right time rather than building skills to succeed in the short term.

"The Creators' Code" reveals there are six essential skills the entrepreneurs had.

One: They see chances that other people do not catch. Successful businessmen always look for blue oceans with potential. They often use one of the following methods: applying fresh ideas, contriving an idea to advance and fusing different ideas.

Two: They move forward quickly without hesitation, focusing on the future. There is no time to look around at the competitors. A front-runner only looks forward.

Three: Creators fly in an OODA loop, which stands for Observe, Orient, Decide and Act. Such a method allows one to make decisions efficiently in business or war while taking control of the procedure.

Four: Even if an entrepreneur fails, he or she must fail smartly. Learning from little mistakes can help them avoid a big collapse.

Five: They also have to cooperate with others by bringing in diverse knowledge from on- and offline sources, while creating competing relationships between each other.

Six: Creators help others with goodwill. They create opportunities for colleagues who strive for success and form amicable relationships.

All of the six steps make a repeating cycle. Wilkinson believes that these thinking tools can be acquired without any specialized knowledge.
