Finally, we also recommend that a going concern qualification be reinstated in the attestation process to motivate implementing this new definition for small, closely-held firms.

Taiwan has been described as a ticking time bomb. For all the fratricidal strife that has scarred Chinese politics since 1949, Peking''s leaders have never wavered from their commitment to reunification with Taiwan. There, 20 million people have witnessed one of the great economic miracles of the post-war era. But their government is founded on a constitution that claims legitimacy over all of China. In this provocative study, Simon Long looks at the historical background to China''s claim to sovereignty, and at the roots of Taiwan''s economic triumphs.

Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) models of the US Fish and Wildlife Service''s Habitat Evaluation Procedures (HEP) are reviewed with the objective of determining the necessary modifications to model requirements (if any) if data for the models are to be obtained from aerial photographic sensors. The white-tailed deer model was chosen for the conversion exercise because of its interest to human activities that can readily be translated to economic and recreational values. Steps that must be included in an optimum remote sensing effort are outlined, with the relevance of each step to the HEP being illustrated where possible. Forty-one HSI models that are species specific are reviewed to show the feasibility of gathering necessary input data by remote sensing. The guilds formed by grouping species of similar requirements are discussed.
