“The vastness and complexity of the Chinese market presents formidable challenges to foreign brands attempting to enter it. Far from being a monolithic nation, China is actually more analogous to the Eurozone in the diversity of its cities and provincial economies. To understand the differences between these retail markets, Deloitte China recently undertook a study of first, second, third, and fourth-tier cities by seeking answers to such questions as:
• Where are the consumers for international brands in China?
• What are the top criteria for consumer retail purchases in China?
• How ready is the Chinese consumer to accept new brands and concepts?
• Geographically, where should international brands start on entering the China market?”

“This is the first time that a UK government has taken decisions on its defence, security, intelligence, resilience, development and foreign affairs capabilities in the round … [The Review] sets out the ways and means to deliver the ends set out in the National Security Strategy. It links judgements on where to direct effort and focus the available resources, to choices on which risks and policies to prioritise. It sets a clear target for the national security capabilities the UK will need by 2020, and charts a course for getting there.” [Source: Docuticker, 22-10-10]

“A new teaching dataset is available for download from ESDS: The British Crime Survey 2007-2008: Teaching Dataset. The teaching dataset is based on the British Crime Survey, 2007-2008, but it is a subset of the data, with some simplifications and additions for the purpose of learning and teaching. The addition of 10 scalar variables using variables from the original BCS 2007-2008 dataset facilitates the teaching of a range of statistical techniques including correlations and linear regression techniques.” [Source: ESDS Government News, October 2010]

“Cornell University has a tremendous holding of photographs that document the canonical works or ‘major moments’ in the study of South Asian architectural traditions. Over 6,600 images from this truly unique collection have been placed online here, and persons with a penchant for South Asian culture will want to make return visits here. One particularly noteworthy section of this collection is the collection of images of 89 temples in Tamil Nadu, which are part of an unfinished study of a folk tradition by Professor Robert MacDougall.” [Source: The Scout Report, 22-10-10]
