  • A Study of the Correlation Between Agricultural Economic Growth and Agricultural Agglomeration in China
    Available online www.jocpr.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research, 2014, 6(6):1878-1881 ISSN : 0975-7384 Research Article CODEN(USA) : JCPRC5 A study of the correlation between agricultural economic growth and agricultural agglomeration in China Yue Hu Ningbo Dahongying University, China _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT With the continuous development of agricultural economy in our country, the concentration degree of main crops will get greater. And the improvement of agricultural agglomeration degree will also improve the specialization degree of main market-oriented crops. Although the correlation between agricultural economic growth and the agricultural agglomeration degree is a positive one, the variety of agricultural industrial concentration degree will cause differences in regional agricultural economic growth. Thus, a study of agricultural economic growth and agricultural agglomeration is of great significance to the agricultural economic growth in China. Key words: Agricultural economy, agricultural agglomeration, main crops. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION In recent years, China’s agricultural economy has developed rapidly, but agricultural growth still face many serious problems, such as the restriction of the resource environment, the pollution of ecological environment and the accelerated development of urbanization which leads to an increasing demand for agricultural

  • The Guardians
    TRIPTYCH OF THE The Guardians Triptych of the Guardians is now in Japan as part of the Canadian collection for the upcoming FIDEM TOKYO 2020 this October. Author Richard McNeill TRIPTYCH OF THE GUARDIANS presents two image/figurative works flanking an abstract one. The central cosmic egg swirls with opposing strands, like an infinity sign, around an endless void. The pregnant female Nurture Guardian looks to the fertile ground beneath while the male Searcher Guardian scans the boundless cosmos. I created three new medals last fall as miniature reflections of my second monumental work in China at the Yanghu Wetlands International Sculpture Park in Changsha – a second tier city and capital of Hunan Province, of seven and a half million people, on the Xiang river. It is an ancient city, rebuilt after the almost total de- struction by the Japanese last century, in the middle of China, servicing both north and south. For a recounting of my first visit and experience in creating Eco-Portal (my large gate), see issue 39 of ‘Behind the MASC’ newsletter (Dec 2015). As stated, in that article, I was invited to return the following year to produce a second major work. Because of that, I was fortunate to see and document that first work which I had last seen in its original clay – it was now cast into bronze and erected, in the spring of 2016, on a very prominent site. I am told it is one of the favourite pieces in the park.

  • Q4 2016 Highlights
    STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE #1: INNOVATE AND LEAD The City continued to monitor its work towards achieving its strategic objectives in quarter four. The 2016 Operational Work Plan is aligned with the City’s Strategic Plan objectives and the 2016 Financial Plan. Establishing key performance indicators and aligning all of the City’s work under strategic objectives continued to be the focus for 2016, providing a complete picture of the value for tax dollars. The physical demands analysis was completed in quarter four to reduce WorkSafeBC premiums, provide better offers of modified duties, provide medical practitioners with better information, and support supervisors in their roles. A total of 28 positions were assessed, including positions that had previously been assessed, and positions with a history of staff injuries. Career development continued with 22 employees receiving career and/or developmental support from Human Resources in the last quarter of 2016. Two individuals were successful in obtaining positions of increased responsibility in the organization based on the support they received. Staff IT learning continued with 15 sessions occurring this quarter to support staff in learning key aspects of software. In December, a cross section of City staff participated in a pilot of Microsoft Office 365. The next version will include cloud-based apps that increase connectivity and collaboration. Royal Roads University delivered an information session to City staff on the revised Certificate in Sustainable Community Development. Fifteen staff attended with three enrolling in the blended learning opportunity, part of which will be offered at the CityStudio Victoria in 2017. In quarter four, the Connect Victoria app was launched to make the organization’s most commonly accessed website information more accessible from any mobile device.

Thomas Rimer Dr. Bruce McConachie Dr. Kathleen George Dr. Attilio Favorini Dissertation Director (Committee Chairperson) i Copyright © by Siyuan Liu 2006 ii Dr. Attilio Favorini THE IMPACT OF JAPANESE SHINPA ON EARLY CHINESE HUAJU Siyuan Liu, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2006 This dissertation explores the intercultural forces that affected the formation of wenmingxi (civilized drama), China’s first Western-style theatre that flourished in Shanghai in the 1910s, following the 1907 production of Uncle Tom’s Cabin by the Chinese student group the Spring Willow Society (Chunliu She) in Tokyo. In contrast to huaju (spoken drama), the present form of Western theatre in China, which came into existence in the 1920s through a whole-sale importation, wenmingxi adopted a localized approach by mixing Western drama, shinpa (new school drama, the first Western-style Japanese theatre), and traditional Chinese theatre. Based on primary sources as well as recent historical and theoretical studies from China, Japan, and the West, my dissertation focuses on the ideological, dramaturgical, and theatrical transformation wenmingxi brought to Chinese theatre. The study is divided into four chapters and an introduction, which lays out previous research on this topic and my theoretical framework.
