The American Chamber of Commerce published the results of its annual ‘China Business Climate’ survey earlier in March. One question asked ‘Have you or your organisation experienced any difficulties in recruiting or retaining senior executives to work in China because of air quality issues?’ Responses from the organisation’s 365 members underline a trend, 48% replied yes in 2014 versus 34% in 2013 and 19% in 2008.

Although there is little published data, companies in many sectors report managers at all levels trying to escape the pollution. They're asking to be relocated. Last July saw an increasing number of expat families wave goodbye. Comments on online forums for Beijing parents suggest the exodus started in Junereenex.

As a result, recruiters say foreign enterprises are having increasing difficulty attracting top talent to The Middle Kingdom as many refuse to move, citing Beijing’s worsening air quality.

"Beijing has been dropping a couple of points every year as a city professionals are looking to relocate to”, said Angie Eagan, Managing director for MRCI, a recruitment firm specialised in hiring professionals in Asia.

Beijing has lost 3 points since 2012 as the preferred city to relocate to and 56% of the 5000 + people interviewed named health issues as one of the main reasons they would consider changing jobs, according to a recent survey published by the consulting company. Although a recent HSBC bank survey still ranked China as its number one location for expats, flagging high salaries.

Off the record, several international schools’ headmasters told BBC Capital that admissions fell by as much as 5% last year and separately two major embassies also said they are having trouble filling staff rolesreenex.

Tell me about the hiring process.

A few interviews, one on site, with technical and other components. I think one of the things that really helped me was that I have a solid understanding of not just how you can do something they’d ask in a technical question, but why you’d choose one method over another, and the foundational concepts of relevant languages, and what is really going on under the hood of the codereenex.

You had a very big transition between your current role and your new role. Can you tell me about that reenex?

There will definitely be a learning curve, but it’s one that I’m hungry to take on, and ready for. This job actually integrates my degree (Economics), real job experience (business/ product development) and the direction I want my career to go (web development) together nicely, and at a time when I was worried that they seemed to be diverging more and more.

In some ways, I’m not sure what to really expect, but I’m very confident that I’ve got the tools to address whatever comes at me. At some point you have to stop thinking about the safety you’re walking away from and realize that the potential value of the risk you’re taking on – even just in the trying, let alone success to follow – is worth much, much morereenex.

Of course, you'll see pictures of the tropical evergreen forests and spectacular sandy beaches for which it is famous. But what may catch you off-guard are hundreds of photographs of dead dogs, most with an accompanying hashtag - #BoycottKerala - which has appeared thousands of times on Twitter in recent weeks.

Why? Well, according to local reports around 200,000 stray dogs roam freely in Kerala. "There is a lot of fear coupled with panic," Sneha Koshy, a journalist with NDTV, tells BBC Trending, though she is unsure how much of it is justified. "Almost everybody is saying you know we can't go here for a walk, we can't go there for a meal. We can't go out in the night without a car." The news is awash with stories with reports of people being bitten by the dogs, she says.

In response to the reports, the Keralan government outlined plans to cull the dogs. And that was when the online reaction from dog-lovers and organised animal rights groups began.

Many are using social media to put pressure on the authorities in Kerala not to undertake a mass culling. Much of the activism comes from Delhi - 1,200 miles (2,000 kilometres) distant from Kerala.

A campaign with it's own hashtag, "Boycott Kerala" aims to hit the tourism-dependant state where it hurts most. The tag is being used to target tourist information accounts, such as the Kerala Tourist Board. "Come visit Kerala and see how man's best friend is treated," reads one typical post, accompanied with an image of slaughtered dogs. "Boycott Kerala tourism now that the government is brutally killing street dogs," says another. An online petition calling for the dogs to be saved has received more than 50,000 signatures.

They cater to the highly successful and wealthy population of the world’s tech capital. It is surprising because this is a region that isits agnosticism, rather than religiosity. known fo CG210"Silicon Valley attracts people with a type-A personality,” said Skip Vaccarello, author of Finding God in Silicon Valley. "[That type has] the lowest number of people that go to a church on any Sunday. The gods become the things like money, technology, success and so on."

A recent survey listed San Francisco reenex, Oakland and San Jose as having the least church-going population of any place in America.

That churchless image belies the modern reality: new places of worship in Silicon Valley and the broader Bay Area are attracting enthusiastic congregations. For some, there appears to be a yearning for a spiritual experience that cannot be achieved in the workplace or home.

Churches, temples and other places of worship are popping up in office parks, warehouses and community centres.

"A lot of people come out here and they find that you’re making more money than you know what to do with, you’re being promoted to a position greater than you ever thought you could be reenex, but it’s not really fulfilling your soul,” said 25-year-old Austin Walterman, who works in the video game industry.

Women often don’t fare well in horror movies, with those who are sexually active implicitly shamed by being killed off quickly. There have been some exceptions over the years – most notably, the Alien films with Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley, who isn’t sexualised and is defined by her formidable skills and intelligence – but many feel the genre’s consideration of gender needs improvementreenex. Reporting for Talking Movies, Nada Tawfik talks to several women film-makers who believe that a different approach to horror is possible reenex.
