Welcome to How to d raw faces. - In this series of tutorials dedicated to the drawing of the human anatomy we will dedicate time to study and draw the human features. In this specific tutorial we'll be looking at how to draw compelling faces using an internal reference system to get the proportions right every time. The method we are going to show you is very simple, really no rocket science, however with a bit of practice you'll be able to draw faces with the right proportions without using external reference or complicated constructing grids. The face is the feature which best distinguishes a person, and there are "special" regions of the human brain, such as the fusiform face area (FFA), which when damaged prevent the recognition of the faces of even intimate family members. How to draw faces - Let's get started! Let's start by drawing a simple face oval and sketching a neck below it. To draw the oval correctly imagine to be drawing an egg shape or take a circle and stretch it along one of its diameters. http://www.drawing-factory.com/how-to-draw-faces.html 1/8 11/9/2014 How to draw faces...

...When I was waiting for my wonderful summer vacation last year, I suddenly saw a red and yellow poster posted at a narrow corner outside the corridor which is drew my attention. It was the information about going to Beijing internship for one month. I knew this is a good chance for me to experience a brand new life without my family. Under the keen competition, I could enhance my working experience in China. It would help me to improve Mandarin and become competitive in the future. I watched the TV in the airport for the Shenzhou 9 rocket launch when I was arrived in Beijing. This is an amazing moment that I can watch the long rocket launch in the capital of Beijing, a place where is politically aware. At the same time, I was the first time to feel proud to be one of the Chinese people. As the rocket means the national achievement for a country, I would feel that all people who surrounded by me do have a strong sense of identity. It shows a miracle in China again. In Beijing, it is shocking to see a mountain of people inside the MTR station every day. If you walk slowly, other people will use their invisible hand to push you to walk faster magically. When people want to get off in the next station, they are likely to ask a question, “Are you getting off in the next station?”. If no, he/she will then switch the place with you so the person can get off quickly. Also, I needed to take transportation nearly two hours to office. The colleagues told me that it is normal to take at...

...and so I ended up arriving one whole day late to Beijing. That meant that nobody was going to pick me up at the airport and I had to get to my apartment complex all by myself. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem if I knew how to speak Mandarin. I learned that in Beijing, not very many people speak English; not even a few words. From my American perspective, I thought what kind of country doesn’t even speak English, especially taxi drivers! At the airport a taxi driver approached me and asked if I needed assistance. I thought that the taxi drivers hear provide great hospitality, however I was wrong. I later learned that I had gotten into a ‘black cab’. I ended up paying 400 Yuan for what should’ve been a 100-150 Yuan expense. Another instance in which language was a major barrier/obstacle was during my first day of work. The staff members of the internship program said they would drop interns off at their workplace on the first day of work, however interns must go home by themselves. After my first day of work I was off to go home, but of course I got lost. I tried to hail a taxi. I used my map and pointed to the location I needed to go but no taxi driver would take me. I didn’t know why and never found out either because I didn’t know Mandarin. My whole trip consisted of hand gestures that substituted as a language. Lastly, because I am a vegetarian I had difficulty in ordering...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION China’s emergence on the world scene is one of the most important and challenging developments of the 21st century. Its remarkable growth since the early 1980s has the potential to greatly expand the global economy, and with it, global wealth, more than any other nation in history. China’s more proactive global engagement and the modernization of its military have already greatly altered the economic and political balance of power in East and Southeast Asia and has added yet another actor to the world scene. Several scholars recently have speculated that China and India will emerge as two great superpowers as the twenty-first century progresses. China’s uninterrupted economic growth of about ten percent GDP per year since the late 1970s is unprecedented and there are few signs that the world’s fastest growing economy will taper off any time soon. Real per capita output in 2005 was nine times that of 1978, which is when real economic reform began. Depending on how one calculates and interprets economic data, by 2007 China had become the third or fourth largest economy in the world. While economic growth is most notable in the large cities along China’s east coast like Shanghai and Beijing, virtually everybody across China is much better off now than in 1978. Rapid economic growth has brought vast improvements in the quality of life throughout China over the past three decades. Life expectancy rose to 71 years by 2000, the last time China...

...KUAILE HANYU IN SHANGHAI “The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.” ~Benjamin Disraeli I can still remember the time when my Principal told me the good news that I will be the one to represent our school for Special Program in Mandarin Language, I was so shocked and did not expect it. Why? I was a newbie in our school and do not have the experiences unlike the teachers around me. But as the quote stated above, when opportunity comes, grab it. And that has made all the difference in my teaching career. This amazing and once in a lifetime opportunity to be here in Shanghai, China is one of the best and most unforgettable experience I will forever cherish in my life. To be able to work with awesome and wonderful co-teachers and Chinese teachers as well is indeed such a blessing. I’ve learned so much from them, from teaching expertise to strategies, values and words of wisdom; these strives me to be more productive and excellent teacher in my field. Indeed, learning a new language is difficult more so if you have to adapt their culture and ways of living. But I can say that because of the hospitality, care and support of the Chinese mentors and tutors to us, it made our journey here so easy, comfortable and we feel at ease all the time. There are many memorable moments that I will never forget while staying in Shanghai. First is the cold-freezing temperature in China that I’ve never experienced...

VICTORIA ------------------------------------------------- _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Parts of the growth-share matrix The growth-share matrix helps organizations assess its companies and business units on two levels. The first is its level of growth within the market, while the second measures its market share relative to the competition within its industry. To help businesses further analyze its assets, the matrix divides the business units or products into four categories, including: Stars: The business units or products that have the best market shares and generate the most cash are considered stars. However, because of their high growth rate, stars also consume large amounts cash. This generally results in the same amount of money coming in that is going out. Stars can eventually become cash cows if they sustain their success until a time that the market growth rate declines. Cash cows: Cash cows are the leader in the marketplace and generate more cash than they consume. These are business units or products that have a high market share, but a low growth prospects. According to NetMBA, cash cows provide the cash required to turn question marks into market leaders, to cover the administrative costs of...

...Japan will hear a bee go bonbon while a South African girl will hear it go zoem-zoem. In the Netherlands, an owl's hoot will be heard as oehoe, while elsewhere, say in Thailand, its hoot will be interpreted as hook hook. A little boy in Japan will hear a bee go bonbon while a South African girl will hear it go zoem-zoem. In the Netherlands, an owl's hoot will be heard as oehoe, while elsewhere, say in Thailand, its hoot will be interpreted as hook hook. In Indonesia, a dog is known to bark guk guk, in Catalan it barks bup bup, while in Albania it barks ham ham. A Japanese dog, in turn, barks wanwan, while its counterpart in England barks bow-wow or woof. Pigs also have different sounds depending on where you are in the world. A Mandarin Chinese pig goes hu-lu hu-lu, while further up north in Finland it goes roh roh. Next door in Sweden, a pig goes noff noff, while in Wales it goes soch soch. In the English world, a pig goes oink oink. Bird sounds also vary around the world. In English, a small bird chirps while a medium-sized bird tweets. A larger bird, however, squawks. In Spanish, a bird goes pio pio, while in Korea it will be heard going jek jek. In French? Pit pit. Although animals sound the same the world over, humans, with our many languages, do not. Different human societies simply have different ways of describing similar sounds. Part of it is explained by the speech sounds used in a particular language. Another part by random choice – how a sound was first...

...Downturn English Level in Hong Kong Hong Kong is a prosperous international financial city of the world. For this business world, English is important. But Hong Kong students have a downturn English level, they have got worse and worse result of English public examinations in recent years, many people state that is the responsibility of local schools and universities. In fact, the poor English proficiency of students is created by their own personal motivation and living environment or government policy. I am going to discuss several reasons how students are getting poor English. One of the reasons, I believe, is the changing educational policy by the government. Not only will it affect the environment of studying English for students, it also makes it difficult for teachers. Both students and teachers are always to adapt these new and complex educational systems. For example, the government implemented the policy called “Mother-tongue Education” earlier. Obviously, students have got worst English proficiency in this program, because some of the subjects had been changed into Chinese. Students have less opportunity to write, read, speak and listen. In addition, both politically and economically, but also from the economic aspect, Hong Kong society must recognize Putonghua, due to the rise of China. So the government had to carry out the educational policy “two language and three dialects”. This reduces the important of English and Putonghua has become more important...

Lee Continuity and change in Chinese spirit mediumship in urban Malaysia In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 142 (1986), no: 2/3, Leiden, 198-214 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl RAYMOND L. M. LEE CONTINUITY AND CHANGE IN CHINESE SPIRIT MEDIUMSHIP IN URBAN MALAYSIA The spirit medium occupies an important position in popular Chinese religion. As an arbiter between the spiritual and the mundane world, he not only provides services in healing and divination but also performs vital roles at temple and spirit festivals. The history of Chinese spirit mediumship can be traced to the Shang Dynasty of the second millennium B.C., where priest-shamans (wu) were accorded high official standing in the imperial courts, until their decline in the late Chou period in the third century B.C.1 However, spirit mediumship did not become obsolete but continued to be practised at the popular level (Yang 1967: 106, 303). Few reports of spirit mediumship in modern China have appeared in print, except for the detailed observations of De Groot (1964) made in the southern provinces in the late nineteenth century. Since then, most anthropologists have studied Chinese spirit mediumship in various Chinese communities, particularly in Taiwan (Jordan 1972, Seaman 1978, Kleinman 1980) and Hong Kong (Potter 1974). Spirit mediumship is also practised in various Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, but few ethnographies have been published...

...Etch-A-Sketch Ethics. Summary. The case describes the decision by Etch-A-Sketch to move its production from Ohio to China. The Ohio Art Company was perhaps well known to be one of the top selling toys producing company of all time. In the 1990s, Etch-A-Sketch, the maker of the popular drawing board, was faced with a sluggish toy market and strong pressure to keep prices low. Consequently, the company made the unpopular decision to outsource production in December of 2000 to Kin Ki Industrial, a leading Chinese toy maker, laying off 100 U.S workers in the process. The closure of the company was expected by the employees but the thought of it moving was not emotionally easy since the company was the one holding the community together. The small Ohio town of Bryan where the manufacturing took place faced significant effects from the outsourcing. The population declined heavily and the tax base of Bryan, Ohio was severely eroded. Homes were also on auction and there were notices of foreclosures on the local paper. The rationale behind the decision for outsourcing was mainly cost saving. First and foremost the company wanted to lower their wages. Chinese factory workers made $75 per month compared to $1500 per month for U.S factory workers. On top of that, there were also low overhead costs for plants, maintenance, electricity and health benefits. All in all, they had to keep the cost of Etch-A-Sketch under $10 in order to compete with big retailers such as Walmart and Toy “R”...

...Case Study 2: Etch A Sketch Ethics MGT 214 – Managerial Foundations 6/12/2013 1. Was it ethical of the Ohio Art Company to move production to China? What were the economic and social costs and benefits of this decision? What would have happened if production had not been moved? In my professional opinion, I believe the Ohio Art Company’s decision to move the production of their Etch-A-Sketch product to China was ethically sound. The Ohio Art Company was losing money while manufacturing in Bryan, Ohio. Even though outsourcing resulted in layoffs in Ohio, it also saved the jobs of many other employees by keeping the company profitable. Furthermore, even though outsourcing may result in lost jobs in the USA, it does provide employment for people in other countries. If the Ohio Art Company hadn’t moved production, it may have been forced out of business due to high manufacturing costs and immense pressure from distributors to keep prices low. 2. Assuming that the description of working conditions given in The New York Times article is correct, is it ethical for the Ohio Art Company to continue using Kin Ki to manufacture Etch-A-Sketch toys? Continuing to use Kin Ki would be highly unethical, assuming that the New York Times article is correct and that Kin Ki would not immediately resolve the issue. According to the case study, Kin Ki was misrepresenting numerous aspects of their operation. These aspects included wages, hours worked, work conditions, and living...

...Success in China For a foreign business, success in China is largely hinged upon the company’s ability to adapt in a different environment and to understand (and be accepting of) how much they simply don’t know. A company looking to enter the China market will quickly realize either they are in unfamiliar territory and proceed prudently with the right help, or, maybe because of ignorance or anxiety, they will act irresponsibly and fail. Foreigners familiar with China may recognize that there seems to be an unending number of misunderstandings between China and the rest of the world. In a business context, these misunderstandings might range from scheduling a business trip to China during Spring Festival to not considering the government in a market entry plan. Companies seeking to enter China must do their homework and prepare to be flexible. Success in China can be extraordinary, but it is not won easily. In China, the government is omnipresent. Depending on the nature of your business, the government may figure into every step of your China strategy. It is important to remember that the Chinese government’s #1 priority is watching out for China. It would be foolish to think otherwise. The five-year plan is not a suggestion as much as it is a mandate. That means, to be successful in China, your goals must align with the goals of the government at every level. Indeed, a successful plan would help the government to reach its goals. Demonstrating an interest in the well-being...

...Luxury fashion is about gaining acceptance; what you wear and how you wear it is a projection of who you are as a person and how you want to be seen. The garments that fill your wardrobe are therefore heavily influenced by your social circle. Getting a professional office worker in Shanghai to sport a mandarin collar instead of necktie is no easy task – no matter how premium the product on offer. The mandarin collar is low, unfolded and can be buttoned to fit snugly around the neck, conjuring the image of a Qing dynasty scholar. For less conspicuous wear, it can be unfastened into a V-neck as Raphael le Masne De Chermont, executive chairman of Shanghai Tang, a Hong Kong-based clothing company, prefers to wear it. Since the mid-1990s, Shanghai Tang has been known for its apparel with a strikingly traditional Chinese influence. For the past several years, however, as it bids for attention of wealthy Chinese consumers who disdain dragons on their jackets, the brand is remaking its image with a far lighter Chinese touch. The change in ideology is not without its challenges. De Chermont refuses to wear neckties and demands others to take their's off. “It's the leash of the corporate animal,” he says on the sidelines of a luxury brand forum in Shanghai on March 22, before exhorting this reporter to unknot his own. As an ideological statement, Shanghai Tang does not sell neckties despite the huge mainland market for them. The decidedly Chinese collar isn't just about comfort or...
