The discrimination the catholic church in China suffers is hardly talked about. The intimidation by the Chinese state on the church is incredible and many members have been killed or incarcerated for maintaining the independence of the church from the Chinese state.

On human terms it makes no sense to continue church operations in china just like some companies pulling out of china, but the church has not run on those terms.

For centuries the church and her members in China struggled to maintain their identity in the face of discrimination, and there has been progress even though small. I don't think it makes sense to let go of a winning strategy albeit a slow one given the conditions.

If as humans we learn from existing concepts hence skeuomorphism - our new concepts would mostly be analogical to existing ones?

giving presets like you just mentioned make it even easier

the project admin would/should be able to specify in the board notes,

for instance - record (using iPhone4s) at 1080p HD video.

Hi,so I was working on a product demo video that needed to showcase different unrelated scenarios of people using our product- Prowork(http://prowork.me).I was out of office so we used Prowork to create and discuss the story board for the video. As we listed the board titles and descriptions as tasks, it occurred to me that the different scenes could be shot separately by different team members...

Good design is a strong component for your startup's success today. unlike some 10-15 years ago, users now have high expectations for your product design- thanks to the likes of Apple- and I see this is where inexperienced people get stuck- After it looks like Apple's, What next?
Startups in Africa will really benefit from this, great news!
