The U.S. is slated to enter a period of medical cost equilibrium, where the forces that drive up health costs are offset by a demand for value-based health care system, according to a report released to The Daily Caller News Foundation Tuesday morning by PriceWaterhouseCoopers Health Research Institute . PwC projects the medical cost trend to be 6.5 percent in 2017, a growth rate nearly half that of 2007.

China’s Little Pink Nationalists

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
SCMP: The rise of the Little Pink: China’s young angry digital warriors

A group of the website users, some of them overseas students, strongly criticised people who published posts on negative news about China or comments deemed to glorify Western countries. They were called the Jinjiang Girl Group Concerned for the Country, or the Little Pink, a reference to the main colour on the front page of the website. The use of the term spread as social media expanded in China.

How did the Little Pink rise to prominence?

The name became widely attached to young nationalists in China through a series of mass campaigns on overseas social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, which are all officially blocked on the mainland. A key event came in January last year when Chou Tzu-yu, a 17-year-old Taiwanese pop singer, waved the island’s national flag on a television show.

Mainland internet users flooded Chou’s Instagram account and accused her of supporting Taiwan independence. Days later, they flooded the Facebook page of the newly-elected Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, who heads the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party. Some Taiwanese media outlets were also targeted.

The larger origin is two-fold. One, China’s nationalist education since the 1990s. Second, rising nationalism around the world.

In 20 years, the nationalists will be in charge all over the world.

London Open Fibb Expansions on the Cable

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Here are two Fibb expanions I spotted while reviewing the last London open for the cable. I traded the first expansion, but managed it poorly. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to trade the second one as I had to go to bed for school.

I thought I’d share this here for a bit of diversity for this sub.
