待補: 美國最高法院(Supreme Court of the United States)的法官退休後的"遺產"難保

台灣的最高法院及法官人數、服務期限等,都與美國差很大。本文只談美國的:Wiki

美國最高法院英語:Supreme Court of the United States),一般是指美國聯邦最高法院,是美國最高級別聯邦法院。根據1789年《美國憲法第三條》的規定,最高法院對所有聯邦法院、州法院和涉及聯邦法律問題的訴訟案件具有最終(並且在很大程度上是有斟酌決定權的)上訴管轄權,以及對小範圍案件的具有初審管轄權。在美國的法律制度中,最高法院通常是包括《美國憲法》在內的聯邦法律的最終解釋者,但僅在具有管轄權的案件範圍內。法院不享有判定政治問題的權力;政治問題的執法機關是行政機關,而不是政府的司法部門。
根據聯邦法規,法院通常由美國最高法院首席大法官和八位由總統提名並由參議院表決同意後任命的法官組成。一旦任命,法官享有終生任期,法官保留他們的職位直到去世、辭職、退休或彈劾(不過至今未出現法官被罷免的情況)。[1]在現代話語中,法官通常分為傾向保守,適度或自由的法律哲學和司法解釋。每位法官都有一票投票權,值得注意的是,雖然近期有很多案件得到全票通過,但最受人矚目的裁定不過一票之差,因此透露了法官的思想信仰及背後的哲學或政治類別。最高法院的大法官在華盛頓美國最高法院大樓辦公。
最高法院有時會俗稱為SCOTUS(美國最高法院的首字母縮寫),類似於其他首字母的縮略詞,如POTUS(美國總統)。[2]

Donald Wesley Brinckman

 
1931 - 2018
Born: March 17th , 1931 Died: June 11, 2018 Donald was born March 17, 1931 to Emil and Elsie Brinckman in Chicago, IL. He grew up in Park Ridge, IL. and attended Maine East High School. As a young man, Donald was an Andy Frain usher at Wrigley Field where he learned to love the Chicago Cubs and remained a fan for life. Donald attended the University of IL. Urbana-Champaign where he earned a Bachelor's degree in business and later went on to receive an MBA from Northwestern University. While attending the University of IL., Donald met his wife Beverly during a summer job at Jewel Tea Company in Barrington, IL. where Beverly was working as a receptionist. They were married Feb. 6th , 1954 and started a family that ultimately included five children (Scott, Bonny, Barbara, Donna & Dawn). Donald began his career in marketing research. In 1960 he joined CR Industries of Elgin, Illinois and by 1966 was vice president and general manager of the replacement division. While searching for additional products to supplement the line of automotive parts sold by the replacement division, Donald found a small parts washer company located in Milwaukee that had a unique marketing strategy, but no resources to implement it. He recommended that CR Industries purchase Safety¬Kleen, and the acquisition was completed in 1968. He became Saftey-Kleen's President and CEO. Under Donald's leadership, Safety-Kleen became a leading provider of environmental services to commercial, industrial and automotive customers worldwide, as well as the largest re-refiner of used oil and provider of parts cleaning services in North America. Safety-Kleen went on to become the first American company to post 17 straight years of earnings growth of more than 20 percent. Safety-Kleen was named to the Fortune 500 list in 1991. Donald's success and ultimately the company's, stemmed from his belief that everybody in the organization was critical to its health and success. He never lost sight of the fact that the route drivers were the face of the company (to its customers) and that the process started when they placed a key in the ignition. Donald retired from Safety-Kleen in 1998. Donald was a founding member of the American Business Conference. He served on the Board of Managers of Sherman Hospital and as a trustee of Coe College in Cedar Rapids, IA. He was actively involved in the Elgin United Way and served as a board member of the Elgin YMCA and the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce. In addition, he served on the board of directors of Johnson Worldwide Associates, Paychex, Snap-On Tool Corp and Sun Electric. Following his retirement from Safety¬Kleen, he served as a Director of Heritage Crystal Clean Inc. from 2002 to 2012. Donald loved his wife and children. He enjoyed golf and travelled extensively for business and pleasure throughout his life. He was very philanthropic and gave to many charities in and outside of the community, almost always anonymously. He read the bible daily. He is survived by his wife Beverly, his sister, Shirley Modelhammer, and his 5 children: Scott, Bonny (Paul) Putney, Barbara (Jeffrey) Ladd, Donna (Greggory) Spethman, Dawn (Dana) Walters. He has 11 grandchildren and one great grandchild. A funeral service will be held in Donald's memory on Saturday, July 14, 2018 at St Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Crystal Lake, IL at 10:30am. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to: Ikot Ekpene Mission Office USA, 841 N. 1St St., Geneva, IL 60134-2733, Memo Building for God, Nigeria

中國特色的「願景經營」之大挫敗:中國製造2025



中國特色的「願景經營」之大挫敗經驗不少,從毛澤東的口號超英趕美,那是愚人自我陶醉。
現在更有經驗了,所提出的「中國製造2025」願景也不過是雄心壯志,具體的作法也劍及屨及........啦啦隊還製影片「厲害了,我的國」,讓民眾更虛榮......現在,宣傳單位要大家將"中國製造2025"藏起來。這是近年來中共的民族主義的激勵的大挫敗,可惜,大家只會聽命令行事,不懂得反省、學習!

主持人:中國之前大力吹噓的「中國製造2025」突然上了中宣部的「黑名單」,禁止再提。 您覺得背後的原因是什麼?

夏明:「中國製造2025」計畫之前吹噓過頭,現在成了笑話。 該計畫本來是中國用來凝聚士氣和民族希望的東西,給大家鼓勁,讓中國的科技在未來十年有大的提升。 而現在的客觀效果完全相反。 中國的過度吹噓和過度狂妄阻礙了中國謙虛地發展。 另外,這種過度吹噓也引起了美國的高度警惕。 畢竟現在中國是美國在軍事上的對手和競爭者,美國的警覺會導致它在各種尖端技術領域裡對中國「關門」,進行更多控制。 中興公司事件暴露出美國技術在中國工業領域的關鍵性作用,使得中國所吹噓的「厲害了,我的國」變得非常空虛。 所以,一方面,中國政府現已認識到這不僅成了外界嘲笑的口實,也引起了美國的警覺,成為美國攻擊它的依據;另一方面,這也成了中國內部權力鬥爭的場所。 我相信現在中共內部已有了權力的重新集聚,這可能成為一個權力重新運作的突破口,未來說不定會有反攻。 這裡邊預示著更大的政治鬥爭。

【商業】比亞迪建造大型汽車電池工廠 致力於把產能提升三倍
比亞迪正在建設全球最大的汽車電池工廠,這家中國電動汽車製造商藉以擴大產能和刺激盈利增長。
享有巴菲特支持的比亞迪表示,到明年全面投產之時,該工廠的年產能將為24GWh,足夠裝配120萬輛比亞迪電動汽車。該廠週三開幕,占地面積100萬平方米,相當於約140個足球場,將幫助比亞迪實現到2020年把電池產能提高近三倍至60GWh的計畫。
比亞迪稱,該廠位於青海省,將是全自動化工廠,約有100個機器人負責物流和生產。
中國的電動汽車擁有量不斷上升,中國政府也大力支持這個行業的發展,促使諸如比亞迪和寧德時代等電池製造商擴大生產。寧德時代的產量快速增長,已經成為中國最大的電動汽車電池製造商。撰文/Tian Ying

    • Wikipedia:
    cash flow describes a real or virtual movement of money:
    • a cash flow in its narrow sense is a payment (in a currency), especially from one central bank account to another; the term 'cash flow' is mostly used to describe payments that are expected to happen in the future, are thus uncertain and therefore need to be forecasted with cash flows;
    • a cash flow is determined by its time t, nominal amount N, currency CCY and account A; symbolically CF = CF(t,N,CCY,A).
    • it is however popular to use cash flow in a less specified sense describing (symbolic) payments into or out of a business, project, or financial product.
    Cash flows are narrowly interconnected with the concepts of valueinterest rate and liquidity. A cash flow that shall happen on a future day tN can be transformed into a cash flow of the same value in t0.
