I agree. Furthermore, it would do a great deal to resolve the issues

mentioned in the " Elizabeth Hsu " thread. Because the standard would be

by definition linked to the Chinese, the competition for exam materials

would substantively change. Now, the competition is for whose version will

be the standard (the so-called " exam texts " ). With a Chinese-linked

standard the competition would be for whose products delivered the

information in the most useful form at the least cost. That would encourage

innovation and investment because it would open the market. It would

encourage teaching different approaches because it would allow people to

know what was or was not part of the standard on which their license would

depend. It would also allow academically-oriented schools to fairly compete

with schools oriented to passing license exams.

Weeping Excema

 

My personal belief on any ailments is do a bowel

cleansing. Perhaps you have something solidified and

having a permanent home in your transverse colon. A

clay bowel cleaner should help. If that is not your

path I would suggest Swedish Bitters creme. But thats

like putting a bandaid on a pimple. Get rid of the

cause.
