Australia welcomes China's investment, if not its influence
NEWMAN, AUSTRALIA -- Here in this land of searing heat, scrub and eucalyptus, a land so vast that road signs warn the next gas station is 600 miles away, Mount Whaleback was once 1,500 feet high. Today it's a hole, the biggest open-pit iron ore mine in the world -- an entire mountain crushed, sold...

桉樹Eucalyptus)又名尤加利樹,是桃金娘科桉屬植物的總稱。ユーカリフトモモ科ユーカリ属Eucalyptus)の総称。常緑高木となるものが多い。
Eucalyptus這字似乎看不太懂,不過許多人一聽說它就是「尤加利」,就知道了( 學名為Eucalyptus globulus,萃取部位是葉子及細枝。尤加利味道清澄但略衝鼻。)馬上就會頓悟作者的那種感受。

analytics[an・a・lyt・ics]

[名][U]《論理学》分析論;《数学》解析学.
Analytics is the application of computer technology, operational research, and statistics to solve problems in business and industry. Analytics is carried out within an information system: while, in the past, statistics and mathematics could be studied without computers and software, analytics has evolved from the application of computers to the analysis of data and this takes place within an information system or software environment. Mathematics underpins the algorithms used in analytics - the science of analytics is concerned with extracting useful properties of data using computable functions (see Church-Turing thesis), and typically will involve extracting properties from large data bases (see data mining). Analytics therefore bridges the disciplines of computer science, statistics, and mathematics.[1]
Jonah, Book of :約納書;約拿書(基):舊約十二小先知書之一,約成於西元前 400 年,主題是上主的救援遍及全人類。 約納 Jonah

E. Fromm 認為:Jonah 情結源自缺乏愛的主動關懷(《愛的藝術》,頁38)。這確實是另一個重要的詮釋角度。頁35 轉心理。 [121]為了消除潛意.


(born March 23, 1900, Frankfurt am Main, Ger. — died March 18, 1980, Muralto, Switz.) German-born U.S. psychoanalyst and social philosopher. A disciple of Sigmund Freud, Fromm joined the Frankfurt school in the 1920s and left Nazi Germany for the U.S in 1933. Taking issue with Freud, he came to believe in the interaction of psychology and society and argued that psychoanalytic principles could be applied to cure cultural ills. He taught at various institutions, including the National University of Mexico (1951 – 67) and New York University (from 1962). His many books, which had popular as well as academic success, included Escape from Freedom (1941), The Sane Society (1955), and The Crisis of Psychoanalysis (1970); The Art of Loving (1956) became a durable best-seller.
Jonah (JOH-nuh)

noun One believed to bring bad luck.

Etymology
After Jonah, a prophet in the Old Testament, whose presence on a ship was believed to bring a storm. He was thrown overboard and swallowed by a fish or a whale and returned three days later. From Latin Jonas, Greek Ionas, from Hebrew yonah (dove). Earliest documented use: 1612.

Usage
"Chairman Ned Sullivan is a Jonah of the corporate world. Ned is a chairman of the currently disastrous McInerney Properties. McInerney shares have collapsed from euro 2.50 twelve months ago to today's price of 57 cents. Shane Ross; Ghosts Haunt Greencore; The Sunday Independent (Dublin, Ireland); Jun 29, 2008.



區別計數性及分析性研究

(譯按:戴明博士的「分析型研究」的意義,王雲五先生說得很明白:「『分析』可能有四個意義,除上述由整而分析的第一義,也可稱為化學的分析之外,….所謂數學的分析,即分析的第二義,係指從已知推及未知而言;所謂論理的分析,即分析的第三義,係指從結果追溯原因而言;所謂文學的分析,即分析的第四義,係指以部分代全部而言。」(王雲五「科學管理與科學方法」,收入《岫盧論管理》,頁21) ))

「任何實驗或可視為可能在相同條件下進行之諸實驗的〝母體〞之一個體。一系列的實驗為從此母體抽出之一樣本。
任何系列實驗,只有在使吾人能對該實驗所屬母體的統計常識能做出判斷時,才有用處。在很多時候,問題成為平均值,是直接平均值或兩數量差異平均。」(Student, 1908
「綜而言之,實驗必須如此進行,即其結果必須能成為要做結論之母體的隨機抽樣。」(Student, 1926
在完全計數或抽樣的設計及分析上,區別計數性(enumerative)及分析性(analytic)研究是極為重要的。此兩類研究的最後目的都是要提供處理/ 行動之理性基礎。問題存在那兒,有時有待解決。在計數性問題上,要對碗之某部份內容做些事,不管該部份是大或小。而在分析性問題上,是要做某事以管制及預測原因系統之結果,而該原因系統是過去造成母體 the universe 城市、市場、工業產品批、麥穀)者,而未來也會繼續影響之。
問題屬計數性的,因為該行動(即分配食物及物料)依多少人而定,而不是這些人民為何居於該城市。

就消費者角度而言,工業品之允收抽樣為一計數性運用數據;但是就生產者而言,可視為一分析性,因為該等抽樣有助其控制其製程。



我們看一下現在英日網路英文字典對analytic的解釋,與王雲五和戴明那一代,是很不相同的。
