20. China urged to drop one-child policy. But will young
couples opt for two?
Last year, Beijing had expected two million extra babies after loosening
its longstanding one-child limit per couple. But only 700,000 more
babies were delivered.
By 2050, China will have 480 million people over the age of 60 – a
quarter of the world’s elderly population – according to a report
earlier this year by the China National Commission on Aging. …“The
one child policy should be changed and everybody should be allowed
to have two children,” argues Qiao. But even if the government followed
that advice and the CASS recommendations today, “it is kind of late” to
turn things around, he worries.
These days, young urban Chinese couples are less keen on having more
than one child, even when they are allowed to. Frightened by the
spiraling cost of raising and educating a child, and of buying an
apartment big enough for a family of four, many are voluntarily
sticking with one baby.

25. Taiwan suffering acute doctor
shortage

suffering-acute-doctor-shortage-20120806
26. Doctor shortage expected
The nation will likely face a shortage of doctors within eight years, a report by the
National Health Research Institutes said yesterday.
By 2022, hospitals will face a shortage of 7,762 doctors in their general, surgical,
gynecological and obstetrics, pediatrics and emergency departments, while the doctors
of today still in service would be at least 40 to 59 years old, which means that in less than
eight years sick people might struggle to find doctors to treat them.
The report was compiled by running through archived data of medical management
systems from the past decade and comparing the findings with National Health
Insurance (NHI) data from 2005 to 2011.
It said demand for doctors in all five departments in 2022 would far exceed what can be
provided today.
The general medicine and surgery departments would be taxed with an increased average
age of the population, the report said.
General medicine departments would face a shortage of 3,099 to 3,788 doctors by 2022,
Institute of Population Health Sciences director Hsiung Chao (熊昭) said, adding that
the department of surgery would be short 1,044 to 1,519 doctors.
The departments of gynecology and obstetrics, pediatrics and emergency medicine
would be short 46 to 216, 932 to 1,444 and 723 to 795 doctors respectively, Hsiung said.
http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2014/12/20/2003607185
27. Doctor shortage expected
The lack of human resources aside, the increase in average age for doctors must also be
considered, Hsiung said.
The average age of doctors practicing Western medicine is 47, with doctors in
departments of gynecology and obstetrics having highest average at 54, Hsiung said.
By 2022, the doctors of all five departments would be aged on average from 40 to 59, and
49 percent of department of gynecology and obstetrics doctors would be at least 64,
Hsiung said, adding that the advanced age of doctors would affect the quality of service
they could offer patients.
From copies of questionnaires received by the National Health Research Institutes,
working hours for the department of surgery currently stand at 74.61 hours per week,
while the working hours for the departments of general medical, gynecology and
obstetrics, pediatrics and emergency medicine stand at 64.85, 63.55, 58.38 and 54.02
hours per week respectively.
The institutes said that decreasing work hours for doctors is necessary and hospitals
must take the burden of medical disputes off doctors’ shoulders if the medical field
wishes to recruit new talent.

28. Doctor shortage expected
The government can help by clarifying the definition
of what constitutes medical negligence or malpractice,
as well as adjusting the premium rates for the NHI
system, the report said.
Meanwhile, E-Da Hospital doctor Tsai Chun-chuan
(蔡淳娟) said that people blatantly waste a lot of
medical resources.
Tsai said the increased occupancy of pediatric medical
facilities and the consumption of resources while the
nation is seeing a decline in birthrates is indicative of
waste, adding that people should change their habits
with regard to medical assistance.

29. ER doctors call for reform to deal
with staff shortage
TAIPEI -- Doctors called attention yesterday to the need for improved
emergency room (ER) management and the establishment of a better
working environment for ER doctors in Taiwan.
At present, there are only 1,200 registered ER doctors nationwide, of
which 800 work full-time, serving 6.4 million emergency medical cases
per year, a problem leading to huge amounts of overtime work for the
doctors and a brain drain in emergency medical staff.
“There are many reasons for this,” explained Cheng Jih-chang, director
of the emergency department at Chang Gung Medical Foundation.
Cheng is also the chairman of the Taiwan Academy of Emergency
Management Department, which celebrated its establishment that day.
Under the current National Health Insurance system, the hospital is
given an average of NT$650 (US$20) for each emergency case, with the
money shared by doctors, nurses and other miscellaneous hospital
expenses, he said.

30. ER doctors call for reform to deal
with staff shortage
Experienced ER doctors would rather transfer to cosmetic
surgery, where they work routine hours and can possibly earn
more, he said.
He added that 75 percent of the working hours for ER doctors are
concentrated in the evenings, weekends and holidays, when
clinics are closed.
“The working environment for ER doctors and nurses is not
ideal,” he said, adding that if the situation is not improved, the
brain drain crisis is bound to continue.
According to a study carried out by Lin Hung-jung, director of
the Chi Mei Medical Center's Emergency Department, turnover
among ER medical staff is as high as 30 percent. Cheng said
there is an urgent need to enhance ER medical management and
develop a holistic understanding of the difficulties of hospital ER
departments.

76. Water shortage to hit Taiwan by
2030: minister
A shortage of water will hit Taiwan by 2030 due to serious buildup of silt in the country's
reservoirs, Interior Minister Lee Hong-yuan said Monday.
The 50 reservoirs in Taiwan have seen their capacity decreased over the years due to severe
silt buildup and by 2030 will see their capacity further decrease to a degree hardly able to sustain the
23 million people in Taiwan, Lee said.
The silt buildup will pose a great challenge, Lee said. For instance, the amount of silt in the
Shihmen Reservoir in northern Taiwan has accumulated to 100 million metric tons, he said at
the 2013 Taiwan Smart Cities Summit in Taipei.
If all the trucks used to carry away the silt are lined up, they will be as long as seven laps
around the Earth and the transport cost will run up to NT$100 billion (US$3.3 billion), which
is not feasible, Lee said. Moreover, a severe flood and drought strikes Taiwan every two years
and nine years, respectively, Lee said.
In addition to a looming water shortage, Taiwan may be facing a food and energy crisis in the
next 30 years. Lee attributed the crisis to a warming planet and increasing global population,
coupled with Taiwan's reliance on other countries for resources.
Taiwan, which lacks natural resources, is a heavy consumer of energy and water and yet charges for
use of such utilities are low, Lee said. A rational discussion on making the charges more reasonable
has been lacking due to political factors, Lee added.
In a similarly paradoxical issue, Taiwan's government has to spend a lot of money to preserve its
shoreline damaged by heavy use of groundwater by agriculture and fish farming sectors, and yet
the costs of the conservation far outweigh the economic benefits, Lee said.
Taiwan needs to hold rational discussions on these issues and needs smart planning to brace
itself for all the challenges ahead, Lee said.

84. 2014 Taiwan food scandal
According to Taiwan's Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a number of
companies made food products using the tainted oil, including well-known
brands such as Taiwan Sugar Corporation, Ve Wong Corp. (味王), Chi Mei Frozen
Food Co. (奇美食品), Sheng Hsiang Jen Foods Co. (盛香珍食品), Gourmet Master
Co. (美食達人), Yilin Group (憶霖), Hawdii Foods Co. (好帝一食品有限公司), etc.
Restaurant chains, shops and stores were also affected, such as Good Morning (早
安美芝城), Wu Wha Ma Dumpling Home (五花馬), Magie du Levain (樂金食品),
Yu Jen Jai (玉珍齋), Lee Hou Cake Store (李鵠餅店), Black Bridge Foods (黑橋牌
食品), Li Ji Cake Store (犁記餅店), etc.[29][30][31]
Wei-Chuan Food Corporation (味全), a subsidiary of Ting Hsin International
Group which was previously cited with using adulterated cooking oil in 2013, was
also involved in using tainted cooking oil produced by Chang Guann. Its share
price plummeted after the company announced a recall of 12 products made from the
recycled oil: canned pork, pork sauces, meat paste and pork floss. The company promised
refunds to its customers. The recall announcement subsequently also brought down the
share prices of other related food companies.[32][33][34][35][36]

163. Why Google doesn’t care about
college degrees, in 5 quotes
Source: http://venturebeat.com/2014/04/25/why-google-doesnt-care-about-college-degrees-in-5-quotes/
Google isn’t big on college degrees, although the search giant is inundated with
applicants touting perfect GPAs from Ivy League schools.
Google’s chairman and head of hiring, Laszlo Bock, has given a few insights in
the New York Times on how he sorts through a multitude of bright applicants.
The upshot is that Google values the skills and experiences that candidates get in
college, but a degree doesn’t tell them much about talent or grit.
You don’t need a college degree to be talented
Demonstrate a skill, not an expertise
Logic is learned, and stats are super important
Prove grit
If you go to college, focus on skills
164. You don’t need a college degree to
be talented
“When you look at people who don’t go to school and
make their way in the world, those are exceptional
human beings. And we should do everything we can to
find those people,” Bock said.
Many businesses “require” a college degree; at Google,
the word “college” isn’t even its official guide to hiring.
With the rise of self-paced college courses and
vocational learning, plenty of driven people can teach
themselves all of the necessary skills to work at the
company.
Source: http://venturebeat.com/2014/04/25/why-google-doesnt-care-about-college-degrees-in-5-quotes/
165. Logic is learned, and stats are
super important
“Humans are by nature creative beings, but not by
nature logical, structured-thinking beings. Those are
skills you have to learn,” Bock said. “I took statistics at
business school, and it was transformative for my
career. Analytical training gives you a skill set that
differentiates you from most people in the labor
market.”
Source: http://venturebeat.com/2014/04/25/why-google-doesnt-care-about-college-degrees-in-5-quotes/
166. Demonstrate a skill, not an
expertise
“If you take somebody who has high cognitive ability, is innately
curious, willing to learn and has emergent leadership skills, and
you hire them as an HR person or finance person, and they have
no content knowledge, and you compare them with someone
who’s been doing just one thing and is a world expert, the expert
will go: ‘I’ve seen this 100 times before; here’s what you do,'” Bock
said.
College degrees are, almost by definition, a certificate of
expertise. A degree in journalism is a giant badge meant to tell
the world that you know at least a little bit about the trade of
telling stories and interviewing people.
But a degree really doesn’t say what a graduate can do. Can they
present an idea in front of a crowd? Can they build a website?
Can they think interestingly about problems, or did they just
pass some tests?
Source: http://venturebeat.com/2014/04/25/why-google-doesnt-care-about-college-degrees-in-5-quotes/
167. If you go to college, focus on skills
“My belief is not that one shouldn’t go to college … most
don’t put enough thought into why they’re going and what
they want to get out of it,” Block said.
Both Bock and Schmidt are adamant that most people
should go to college but that skills and experience are more
important than the stamp of expertise. Bock says Google is
looking for the kinds of projects candidates completed or
what they accomplished at an internship.
I honestly can’t remember the last time someone asked me
what my major in college was. If you want a job at Google
(or some other prestigious company), don’t focus so much
on your major, and make sure you graduate with all the
skills and experiences you need to do awesome things in
the world.

168. Prove grit
“It looks like the thing that separates out the capable
students from the really successful ones is not so much
their knowledge…but their persistence at something,”
Google chairman, Eric Schmidt said.
For some people, college is just really easy. They can play 10
rounds of beer-pong until 4 a.m. and still ace an organic-

175. Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics
Co., Ltd.
Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was the first of a series of ongoing lawsuits
between Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics regarding the design of smartphones
and tablet computers; between them, the companies made more than half of
smartphones sold worldwide as of July 2012.[1] In the spring of 2011, Apple began
litigating against Samsung in patent infringement suits, while Apple and Motorola
Mobility were already engaged in a patent war on several fronts.[2] Apple's multinational
litigation over technology patents became known as part of the mobile device "smartphone
patent wars": extensive litigation in fierce competition in the global market for consumer
mobile communications.[3] By August 2011, Apple and Samsung were litigating 19
ongoing cases in nine countries; by October, the legal disputes expanded to ten
countries.[4][5] By July 2012, the two companies were still embroiled in more than 50
lawsuits around the globe, with billions of dollars in damages claimed between
them.[6] While Apple won a ruling in its favor in the U.S., Samsung won rulings in
South Korea, Japan, and the UK. On June 4, 2013, Samsung won a limited ban from
the U.S. International Trade Commission on sales of certain Apple products after the
commission found Apple had violated a Samsung patent,[7] but this was vetoed by U.S.
Trade Representative Michael Froman.[8]

210. The Myth of the Climate Change
'97%'
Last week Secretary of State John Kerry warned graduating students at Boston College of the "crippling consequences"
of climate change. "Ninety-seven percent of the world's scientists," he added, "tell us this is urgent."
Where did Mr. Kerry get the 97% figure? Perhaps from his boss, President Obama, who tweeted on May 16 that
"Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous." Or maybe from NASA,
which posted (in more measured language) on its website, "Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that
climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities."
Yet the assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction. The so-
called consensus comes from a handful of surveys and abstract-counting exercises that have been contradicted by more
reliable research.
One frequently cited source for the consensus is a 2004 opinion essay published in Science magazine by Naomi
Oreskes, a science historian now at Harvard. She claimed to have examined abstracts of 928 articles published in
scientific journals between 1993 and 2003, and found that 75% supported the view that human activities are
responsible for most of the observed warming over the previous 50 years while none directly dissented.
Ms. Oreskes's definition of consensus covered "man-made" but left out "dangerous"—and scores of articles by
prominent scientists such as Richard Lindzen, John Christy, Sherwood Idso and Patrick Michaels, who question the
consensus, were excluded. The methodology is also flawed. A study published earlier this year in Nature noted that
abstracts of academic papers often contain claims that aren't substantiated in the papers.

217. Al Gore could become world's first
carbon billionaire
Last year Mr Gore's venture capital firm loaned a small California firm
$75m to develop energy-saving technology.
The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and
software to make the electricity grid more efficient.
The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy
Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants, the New
York Times reports. Of the total, more than $560 million went to
utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts.
The move means that venture capital company Kleiner Perkins and its
partners, including Mr Gore, could recoup their investment many
times over in coming years.
Few people have been as vocal about the urgency of global warming
and the need to reinvent the way the world produces and consumes
energy as Mr Gore. And few have put as much money behind their
advocacy and are as well positioned to profit from this green
transformation, if and when it comes.

Journal op/ed feature of peril to fossil fuel investments due
to “The Coming Carbon Asset Bubble”. They argue that
such “unwise and increasingly wreck less”investment
strategies pose three broad risks which will cause carbon
assets to become “stranded” and lose economic value:
through direct government carbon regulation; as a result of
market-share losses to “already competitive” renewable
technologies; and due to “sociopolitical pressures” causing
carbon-intensive businesses to lose their “license to
operate”.

222. Al Gore Set To Become First
“Carbon Billionaire”
The New York Times has lifted the lid on how Al Gore stands to benefit to the tune
of billions of dollars if the carbon tax proposals he is pushing come to fruition in the
United States, while documenting how he has already lined his pockets on the back
of exaggerated fearmongering about global warming.
As is to be expected, the article is largely a whitewash and takes an apologist stance
in defense of Gore.
However, the NY Times‘ John M. Broder does reveal how one of the companies Gore
invested in, Silver Spring Networks, recently received a contract worth $560 million
dollars from the Energy Department to install “smart meters” in people’s homes
that record (and critics fear could eventually regulate) energy usage.
“Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr. Gore, could recoup their investment
many times over in coming years,” states the report, highlighting the fact that Gore
is “well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes.”
“Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming skeptics, say Mr.
Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire,” profiteering from
government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business
ventures he has invested in,” writes Broder.

223. Al Gore Set To Become First
“Carbon Billionaire”
Since he left office, Gore’s personal net worth has skyrocketed on the back of
his advocacy for global warming issues and the financial dividends this has
reaped. Gore’s assets totaled less than $2 million in 2001 and although he
refuses to give a figure for his current net worth, a recent single investment of
$35 million in Capricorn Investment Group, a private equity fund, illustrates
just how fast Gore has enriched himself from his climate change bandwagon.
The Times report notes how Gore “has a stake in the world’s pre-eminent
carbon credit trading market.”As we reported back in March, before he became
President Barack Obama also helped fund the profiteers of the carbon taxation
program that he is now seeking to implement as law.
The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has direct ties to both Al Gore and
Maurice Strong, two figures intimately involved with a long standing
movement to use the theory of man made global warming as a mechanism for
profit and social engineering. Gore’s investment company, Generation
Investment Management, which sells carbon offset opportunities, is the largest
shareholder of CCX.

The Washington Post:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/12/13/why-edward-snowden-thinks-amazon-is-morally-irresponsible/
Edward Snowden on Friday evening called on Amazon.com, one of the
world’s largest retailers, to provide routine encryption for its customers
to prevent governments from snooping on the reading habits of their
citizens.
Snowden, appearing by video link at a surveillance symposium at the
Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, called Amazon’s practice of
allowing customers to browse for books and other goods without
encryption “morally irresponsible.”
252. Why Edward Snowden thinks
Amazon is “morally irresponsible.”
Many popular online services, such as Google, Facebook and Yahoo,
embarked on massive new encryption initiatives after Snowden, a
former National Security Agency contractor, released troves of
documents last year detailing how the NSA and its overseas allies
collected massive amounts of personal data on people worldwide.
Amazon, whose founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos owns The
Washington Post, encrypts transactions as customers enter their
credit card information and other purchase details. But searches
for products occur in what experts call “plain text,” meaning
governments and others with access to Internet traffic can monitor
those searches. That includes Internet providers, employers when
people use computers at work, or even coffee shops and hotels
hosting wifi networks.

278. Japan’s suicide rate exceeds world
average: WHO report
GENEVA – The suicide rate for Japan is roughly 60 percent higher than the global
average, with 18.5 people out of every 100,000 committing suicide in 2012, according
to a World Health Organization report released Thursday.
The U.N. body’s first-ever report on suicide prevention said an estimated 804,000
people around the world took their own lives in 2012, which works out to roughly
one person every 40 seconds, leading the WHO to call on each country to combat
suicide with urgency.
“This report is a call for action to address a large public health problem which has
been shrouded in taboo for far too long,” WHO Director General Margaret Chan
said in a statement.
In Japan, 29,442 people committed suicide in 2012 — 20,888 men and 8,554
women — which translates into an age-adjusted rate of 18.5 suicides per 100,000
inhabitants, about 60 percent higher than the global average of 11.4.
The rate compares with 12.1 in the United States, 7.8 in China and a surprisingly
high 28.9 in South Korea.

279. Japan’s suicide rate exceeds world
average: WHO report
According to the report, suicide was the second-leading cause of death
for people between the ages of 15 and 29 in 2012. The highest rate across
the age groups was among people over 70.
The most common suicide methods globally were poisoning by
pesticide, hanging and firearms. The report noted the prevalence of
suicides by gas poisoning in Japan.
The report found a link between mental illnesses such as depression,
and suicide, noting that there were also many cases of impulsive
suicides stemming from financial and medical problems.
Suicide rates were higher among homosexual people, refugees,
incarcerated people and those who had lived through war or disasters.
The WHO called for authorities to bring down suicide rates by
improving early diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and
arranging follow-up care for people who attempt suicide.

Fitting in with the traditional theory that suicides increase during hard
economic times, suicides in South Korea—as well as Japan—increased
in the mid and late 1990s, around the same time as the Asian financial
crisis. But while these deaths leveled off in Japan at the turn of the
century, Korea’s rate rose even as its economy recovered. It’s now Asia’s
third largest economy, but suicides are costing the country as much as
4.9 trillion won (paywall) or $4.6 billion a year, according to the
ministry of health.
What’s the problem? Some academics blame the country’s growing
wealth inequality; a welfare system that’s left an expanding population
of elderly people (among whom suicide rates are three to four times as
high as the national average) with few savings; the notoriously
competitive education system; or Korea’s culture of heavy drinking.
Seeking help for mental health still carries a heavy social stigma—one
reason why Korea’s consumption of anti-depressants was the lowest
among OECD countries in 2011.

Another problem is that suicide has been a subject of fascination and
sensationalism over the past several years. Korean media breathlessly
reported the 2008 and 2009 suicides of a popular actress, Choi Jin-sil,
as well as former president Roh Moo-Hyun. There were 1,700 suicides
in the month following Choi’s suicide, 700 more than in a normal
month, officials said. Researchers say graphic images and descriptions
of the deaths, more prevalent in Asian media than elsewhere,
contribute to a kind of glorification of suicide.
That’s slowly changing. South Korea has issued national guidelines to
media. Troubled residents can call a 24-hour suicide hotline.
Authorities also banned the sale of a lethal pesticide used for almost a
quarter of all suicides between 2006 and 2010. Last year, signs were
installed along a bridge in Seoul, where many have jumped to their
death, carrying messages like “The best part of your life is yet to come.”
Hopefully more South Koreans will start to believe that soon.
