The Ruins of St. Paul’s are one of the finest examples of Macao’s outstanding universal value. Close by, the archaeological remains of the old College of St. Paul stand witness to what was the first western-style university in the Far East, with an elaborate academic programme that included Theology, Mathematics, Geography, Chinese, Portuguese, Latin, Astronomy and various other disciplines, preparing a significant number of missionaries to pursue Roman Catholic work in China, Japan and throughout the region. The missionary route followed by the Jesuits from Macao all over the region was crucial in facilitating the dissemination of Catholicism in China, Japan and other countries, also enabling a broader interchange in other scientific, artistic and cultural fields. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruins_of_St._Paul's...

...Strengthening the Ombudsman Institution in Asia Improving Accountability in Public Service Delivery through the Ombudsman About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance. Strengthening the Ombudsman Institution in Asia Accountability is essential for good governance, and in many Asian countries the ombudsman is the key accountability institution. Originating in the West, the concept of the ombudsman arrived relatively late in Asia. Yet more and more ombudsman offices are being established in Asia, and they play a critical role in the fight against incompetence and injustice on the part of government officials. This report presents in-depth research on Asian ombudsmen, with a focus on best practices and emerging issues, especially in the context...

...launch of an OTC Aids Test, we should focus on major changes in the environment, meaning the proliferation of the virus, followed by the development of a global concern about HIV and AIDS, the consequent changes in public perception of the disease and, of course, technological progresses. Once associated with a cluster of injecting drug users and homosexual (marginalized social groups), AIDS was progressively becoming epidemic, spreading among high-risk groups to virtually all over the world. In 2005, the WHO revealed there were an estimated 40.3 million people in the world living with HIV or AIDS and every year, millions of new infections and deaths from AIDS were reported. Information about risky behaviors was disseminated in schools, universities and other social spheres, and developed a certain awareness and consciousness that would be a first-step towards avoiding infection and transmission of the disease. Gradually striving for greater empowerment in their healthcare decisions, consumers should have been more and more aware of their choices and started getting access to better information and medical assistance. During the last decades, medical research has made significant progress in HIV prognosis and slowing progression of a disease, for which is there is still no cure or effective vaccine. Hence, public perception started to change and the old stigma of the “dead-sentenced” disease is starting to wilt. AIDS has become progressively a chronic, rather than a frightening...

...University of Macau Faculty of Business Administration GAMM302 Gaming Regulations and legal Environment 2009/2010, second semester Written Assignment Topic: H istory of the 2001 -2002 concession public tender process in Macau Name: Lau Hiu Tung Number: B-A7-0070-2 Date: 30 April 2010 Abstract The purpose of the report this time is to share and have a discussion in the concession public tender process in 2001 – 2002. By reading this sharing, I hope we can have a clear picture about the whole tender process, what has happened, and how was it organized during those 2 years. As this is a very important topic in the gaming sector. Moreover, I will also have a discussion to see the main reason why were those 3 companies won in the competition, and also some specific issue that raised by some of the candidates. Introduction Macau has a very long history in the area of gaming business. In the old days, Macau is being named as “Eastern Monte Carlo”. Now, Macau can be called as “Eastern Las Vegas”, as many foreign companies have started their business in Macau after the liberalization of the gaming industry in 2002. This change let Macau step into a new era and increase its reputation all over the world. Why Macau can have such a big change after the operation in the style of monopoly concession for more than 70 years? How the tender process has been gone through? Why result in these 3 concessions – even though now there are 3 plus 3 sub/concessions, but this is another...

...I. GLOBALIZATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES A. NEW FORCES DRIVING GLOBALIZATION any people consider globalization nothing new – societies have been interconnected for years. But globalization took different forms in the past and the contemporary conjuncture is new.1 The world has never experienced globalization at this level of intensity before or the speed at which it is transforming and integrating societies. There is no single, all-encompassing definition of globalization, notes Sen.2 Instead, it has become a broad heading for a multitude of global interactions, ranging from the expansion of cultural influences across borders to the enlargement of economic and business relations throughout the world. For the economist, globalization is essentially the emergence of a global market. For the historian, it is an epoch dominated by global capitalism. Sociologists see globalization as the celebration of diversity and the convergence of social preferences in matters of lifestyle and social values. To the political scientist, it represents the gradual erosion of State sovereignty. But disciplinespecific studies explain only a part of the phenomenon. From a multidisciplinary angle, globalization may be treated as a phenomenon, a philosophy and a process which affect human beings as profoundly as any previous event.3 Several factors have been responsible for this phenomenon. This study confines its attention to four growthenhancing facets of globalization that have been among its...
