The Inadvertent LandlordHomeownership PCS Real Estate Landlord
By FINRA Investor Education Foundation Staff
Sometimes military families unintentionally invest in real estate. You purchase a home at one duty station, and then receive unexpected PCS orders to another duty station beyond commuting distance of their current home. You may not have time to sell your property, or may determine that the housing market has declined, and it's not the right time to sell. Congratulations, you are now an "inadvertent landlord!"

Sir: Maureen Blakesley (letter, 1 August) is to be praised for her support of standard English. Unfortunately, the example she complains about is in fact correct: Waitrose is right to say "lay all bottles down", as "lay" is what people do to objects.
If she prefers "lie down", I must point out that this is for people and animals, who can place themselves on the ground.

Networking for the Newly Unemployed
by Gini Graham Scott (www.workwithgini.com)
Now that layoffs are
increasing, a new type of networking is emerging that echoes the pink slip
parties held during the dot.com bust -- though now unemployment has been hitting
just about every type of industry. Besides pink slip parties, there are
unemployed groups forming all over, where people can provide each other with
support, job tips, help with resume writing, and more.
One such group is the Unemployed Social Network, which, with some irony I
think, was started by the founder of the Future Millionaires of Santa Monica.
However, after getting little response to the Future Millionaires and a growing
response to the Unemployed group, including a feature on a local news show, the
founder, Jeremy Erickson, has decided to focus on building the unemployed
group. And he has found his own niche in serving the unemployed market -- by
writing resumes. He has invited meeting participants to bring their resumes,
cover letters, and portfolios to work on them to make them better, and has
announced his availability as a coach and mentor to help them.
Plus he has suggested a series of rules for getting employed. Among
them: "Get off your butts...talk to people...build a great looking
resume...network, network, network...and send out as many resumes as you can per
day." He also advises playing the numbers game, doing what you can to stand out
to get the attention of the employer, and don't lose hope.
Besides these unemployed groups, I've discovered a growing number of
business networking and entrepreneur groups which include many of the unemployed
-- and often these small businesses and start-ups are a good source of jobs and
opportunities, as well as being founded by the formerly employed. And all types
of groups -- from social to business groups -- are sponsoring pink slip and
unemployment parties -- a sign of the times.
So how do you find such groups? Check if you have a local networking
group such as MeetUp in your area. If you do, put in some relevant search
terms, such as "unemployed," "networking," "entrepreneur", and "jobs" to see
what groups in that category exist in your area. Another source of such groups
is Craigs List. Look for your area, and then check for community and other
types of group in that location.
Then, start going to these events. Bring business cards, and if you don't
have them yet, you can get them made up for about $45 dollars from various
online business card printers like Vista Print. Work on a resume highlighting
the skills you feel are most salable, along with the jobs that are most
relevant. And be ready to adapt your resume to the job you are interviewing
for, which is easy to do now on a computer. Just rearrange and change your copy
as appropriate, and keep copies of these different resumes, so you can easily
print them up or e-mail them to prospective employers. Also, be willing to
lower the salary range you are looking for, so you can jump aboard some of these
new start-ups that are just leaving the station. They commonly can't afford
very much to start, but many of them will grow into a powerful engine of the new
economy, opening up even more opportunities in the future.
And if you're an employer, such events are a good way for start-up
businesses to find well-qualified employees who are willing to start at a lower
than usual salary just to
working. I know first hand, because I've started to go to such groups myself to
hire a few administrative assistants, and I've quickly gotten dozens of resumes
from people eager to work again.

Yes, You Can Find or Create More
Work in Today's
by Gini Graham Scott (www.workwithgini.com)
Even with the new hope inspired by Obama's
election, pragmatic reality is setting in as more and more banks and stores are
affected by the recession, and the unemployment rate rises. Most recently,
it was up to over 9% in California, about 7% throughout the country.
However, deep recessions can prove to be a land of opportunity, since many
people who can't find work are looking for other ways to make money. Thus,
this can be a better time than ever to think about your skills, what people need
today, and find a fit between what you offer and these needs. For
example, hundreds of new entrepreneurs went to Obama's inaugural with products
with slogans and images of Obama and racked up big sales. And so far the
marketing of the Obama brand, as marketers refer to this phenomenon is
So what might you do to appeal to today's market? Think of start-up
possibilities you might launch yourself -- or look into direct sales programs
you might represent with products or services people might need and want.
Though be cautious of scammers promising riches through pyramid schemes.
Look for companies with solid products or services that people really do want to
buy, aside from any money making opportunities. Since so many people
are out of work now, this is an especially good time for starting a new business
with talented people you can employ at lower than usual starting wages.
In short, if you can't find work for yourself right now, consider creating your
own company and work opportunity for others. As Charles Dickens once said
-- "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...it was the
season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it
was the winter of despair." Well, this is all of these things right now,
but if you choose, you can make it the best of times, the season of Light, and
the spring of hope."
So take some time to ask yourself some questions to decide what you want to do
to choose the best, the light, and the hope:
- What kind of skills and talents do I have? List your strongest ones and
prioritize by ranking them from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest) which you would most
like to use now?
- What do people especially need now that they aren't getting from other
companies or individuals?
- How can I apply my skills and talents to providing products or services to
help others fulfill their needs and wants? Do this for each of your top
skills and talents first; then go on to the next highly ranked group for still
more ideas.
- What steps can I take to develop, promote, and provide these products and
services? Create a list of steps to take.
- What do I need to put these steps into action, such as employees, materials,
and contacts with other companies or individuals?
- Finally, put these steps into action. Start now by taking the first

How to
Thrive In Today's Tough Times
by Gini
Graham Scott (www.workwithgini.com)
Today, as the financial upheaval ripples through the
economy, more and more employees are affected, and for those still on the job,
there is increasing stress. Employees and managers alike are asking
themselves if they'll be the next to go, just as company owners are asking the
same question of their companies. So there is more of a survival of
the fittest game going on than ever, as employees and managers struggle to stay
in place and not be ousted. So what can you do to not merely survive but
even thrive in these tough times? Here are some thoughts that come
immediately to mind, so you feel less stress whatever happens and are more
likely to come out ahead.
- Do some relaxation exercises, so you feel less tense and anxious, which will
enable you to better cope with everyday activities and perform at your best.
- Notice where the points of tension are at work and think about what you might
do to smooth things over, whether that involves talking to someone or taking on
extra responsibilities. Then go do it.
- Be willing to work harder and take on extra responsibilities even if you are
not being paid more -- or are even being paid less. When things
improve again, people will remember and you will reap the rewards accordingly.
- Remind yourself that other people are even more badly affected by the
financial meltdown than you, and consider volunteering to help those who are;
you'll feel much better for being of service to others.
- Create a wish list and imagine you have achieved your wishes. Then,
imagine what you might do to achieve them. Just thinking this way
will help you not only feel better but put you on the path to getting what you
- Think of what you can do to brighten up your day and others' day at work with
some little fun activities. Then, seek to put these in action.
You'll help in dispelling the mood of doom and gloom that pervades many
workplaces to day, and your initiative can help you not only stay on the job but
get ahead at work when the good times come back.
For more ideas on how to achieve these ends, you can see some chapters from my

Redruth Gateway
Redruth Gateway is part of the Redruth Strategic Employment Growth Package (RSEGP); a set of schemes designed to aid the growth and development of the Redruth area, both economically and environmentally. The scheme involves major works on the A3047 to Blowinghouse roundabout, and numerous walking and cycling schemes in the area.
To find out more about the package, please visit the Cornwall Council website.
Work updates
Last updated: Monday 20 March
A3047 from Blowinghouse to Tolgus Vean
- The 30mph speed limit remains in place on the A3047 from Blowinghouse Roundabout to Tolgus Vean Roundabout. This is a permanent reduction, allowing us to widen paths and cycle lanes.
- Traffic is now under contraflow with all vehicles utilising the westbound carriageway. This will be in place for around three months, after which time, the contraflow will change to the other lane.
- Major works are now underway on the westbound carriageway with the current focus on constructing the new surface-water drainage system. This will include excavation of trenches up to three metres deep, followed by the installation of bespoke drainage pipes that will then connect to the existing network at Tolgus Vean roundabout and Blowinghouse roundabout.
- The capping of the mineshaft is now in its final stages, expected to be complete next week. Once the surface is complete, you won't even know it was there.
Walking and cycling
- The next stage of the walking and cycling path on Cardrew industrial estate is underway. This will eventually join the A3047 at Scorrier. It is hoped that this section will be complete by around mid-June.

Our Mission Statement:
Inspired by the Gospel of Jesus, and the example of Saints Francis and Clare, the Franciscan Action Network (FAN) is a collective Franciscan voice seeking to transform United States public policy related to peace making, care for creation, poverty, and human rights.
We are a grassroots organization amplifying the justice efforts of Franciscans and Franciscan-hearted people around the country. Join our growing movement that endures from St. Francis of Assisi and his call for compassion for the poor and for creation over 800 years ago.
History and Creation of FAN:
The original idea for the Franciscan Action Network (FAN) came as a result of a challenge by Franciscans International (FI) and the representatives of each of the six different branches of the Franciscan family. Located in Rome, this entity is referred to as the "Roman 6." FI and the Roman 6 saw that a great deal of the work they did at the UN and in Rome was affected by what happened in the United States. They called for all of the different branches of the Franciscan families to come together and present a unified Franciscan voice in Washington DC. One of the early leaders was Sister Margaret Mary Kimmins, an Allegany Franciscan sister, Margaret Mary had served on the board of Franciscans International and she also worked as director of faith outreach at Bread for the World. She had a unique perspective on the connection between what happens in Washington and what happens at the UN. Margaret Mary along with Russ Testa, who was the JPIC director for the Holy Name Province of the OFM, Brother Tino Arias, OFM Capuchin from the Province of St. Mary's, and Tom Bello the National Minister of the Secular Franciscans formed a steering committee.
In the fall of 2007, there was a gathering in Baltimore of approximately 150 Franciscans from across the country representing all the different branches of the Franciscan Family, including leaders from all three orders as well as leaders from the Episcopal Franciscans and the Ecumenical Franciscans. As a result of this retreat, there emerged the goal for a new collective identity, one that would be responsive to today's social crises. At this gathering the Franciscan Action NEtwork (FAN) was created. Built to "faithfully represent our steering committee, our Franciscan institutional members and our many new individual members—both religious and secular—in one way: the propagation of a restorative course of action for our culture through intelligent advocacy. This civic action we call advocacy is rooted in the spiritual strength of an eight hundred year old faith tradition that obligates us." The years 2008-2009 were primarily used to organize FAN. An advisory/action committee was created with representatives from all branches of the Franciscan family and all geographic regions. Bylaws and Articles of incorporation were written, a board of directors was established and FAN received its 501 (C) (3) status. Russ served as intern director until a permanent director could be hired. Father Larry Janezic was hired in 2009. In 2010, Patrick Carolan came on board as the executive director and still holds that position. Margaret Mary served as the first president of the board until 2013 when she stepped down and was replaced by fellow Allegany Franciscan Sister Margaret Magee.
Since the early days, FAN has grown into a well-established organization in Washington, DC. Recognized as a lead organization on several issues, FAN has expanded our staff to include directors of advocacy and campaigns as well as retaining an office manager and communications coordinator. Membership has expanded to 50 member institutions. With their support, along with various grants and other outside funding, we continue to build our advocacy efforts within our core issues as established at our founding. By partnering with other organizations, we have become a dependable Franciscan voice for justice both in D.C. and beyond.

Home Minster P Chidambaram made it clear on Wednesday that the new dialogue process to be initiated with different shades of opinions to solve the Kashmir issue would be kept away from the media gaze.
Home minister P Chidambaram addressing a press conference during the All India Editors conference at SKICC in Srinagar
"A dialogue can't take place in full glare of cameras. It can take place with quite diplomacy," said the Home Minister, while addressing a conference of editors held at Sheri-e-Kashmir International Conference Centre (SKICC) in Srinagar.
Saying New Delhi is committed to a solution to the problem, Chidambaram stressed that a solution to the Kashmir problem must recognise its unique geography and history. "J&K has unique history and it needs a unique solution. We are working on it and we hope it would be honorable and acceptable to the vast majority of the state."
Referring to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's assertion that a dialogue will be held with every section of political opinion in the state, the Home Minister said New Delhi recognize the fact there are several point of view. "But we won't shy away from a dialogue will all the shades of opinion, including secessionists," said Chidambaram.
On the long pending demand of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and National Conference (NC) to have a fresh look at the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), the Home Minister said amendments to the Act were being finalized and were before the Cabinet.
"Whatever decision the Cabinet will take will be applicable to the whole country," said the Home Minister.
He expressed satisfaction over improving security scenario in the state. "Army's role is to defend the borders. This is a policy and J&K government is on the same page on this. Our problem comes from infiltration from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan. Authorities there recruit young people and brainwash them to attack people here," said the Home Minister.
He was quick to add: "Our system to stop the infiltration has improved. It's not possible to completely stop infiltration but we catch every one of them."

The much-awaited multi-lingual period film
Pazhassi Raja
will hit the screen on Friday. Six of the big names in Indian film industry, Oscar-winner Rasul Pookutty, super star Mammooty, Jananpith laureate M T Vasudevan Nair, musical legend Ilayaraja, national award-winning director Hariharan and south Indian hero Sarath Kumar, have come together to make this film.
Shah Rukh Khan has dubbed the prologue of the Hindi version and Kamal Hassan did the Tamil dubbing of the film. It is reported to be one of the costliest Malayalam movies (Rs 30 crore) ever made.
Pazhassi Raja, better known as the Lion of Kerala, was the first Indian ruler to raise the flag of rebellion against the British Raj in 1797, almost 60 years before the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857. In the film Mammotty dons the role of the king. Shot extensively in the dense forests of Wayanad (north Kerala), the home of Raja, more than 1000 actors test their skills in the film.
"The film will help people to re-discover many such lost and unsung heroes. It will be a big event in film history," said director Hariharan. Earlier producer Gokulam Gopalan had approached the State government to hike the ticket price but the government had declined it but exempted the film from all taxes. "It is a long-awaited film. I am happy finally it is getting released. I am really upbeat," said Mammooty, three-time national award winner.

Yorkville is known for its wealth, style and luxury. This is a neighbourhood where living car-free is not just possible, but also practical, as everything is within walking distance. It offers a busy mix of Victorian houses, luxury condominiums, plush hotels, theatres and offices as well as Toronto's premier shopping district and some of it finest gourmet restaurants.
It's come a long way since the 1960s when it was shabby, rundown and known for its hippie culture. Its coffee houses and clubs were frequented by many struggling artists, including Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot, Margaret Atwood and Dennis Lee.
The neighbourhood is named for the Yorkville Brick Yards which were located on what is now Ramsden Park. The brick yards produced the distinctive yellow brick, seen throughout much of downtown Toronto, including the original firehall on Yorkville Avenue.
Ramsden Park is a quiet refuge in the heart of the city, popular with dog owners thanks to its large off-leash area. It also has a baseball diamond, tennis court (converted to a large outdoor rink in the winter) as well as two playgrounds and a wading pool.

Rebirth and Revolution: Nation-Building in East Asia and the Pacific Rim
The recent history of China, Japan, and Vietnam has significant differences from other Asian and African states. Japan remained independent, industrialized, and became a great imperialist power. After World War II, Korea, Taiwan, and other industrializing nations gave the Pacific Rim new importance. China and Vietnam suffered from Western and Asian imperialists. With their traditional order in ruins, they had to face the usual problems of underdeveloped, colonial, peoples. Full-scale revolutions occurred. By the beginning of the 21st century, the result of all the changes gave east Asia a new importance in world affairs. CHAPTER SUMMARY
East Asia in the Postwar Settlements
Allied victory and decolonization restructured east Asia. Korea was divided into Russian and American occupation zones. Taiwan was occupied by Chiang Kai-shek's Chinese government. The Americans and Europeans reoccupied, temporally, their colonial possessions. Japan was occupied by the United States. The Pacific Rim states became conservative and stable nations tied to the West. East Asia in the Postwar Settlements
New Divisions and the End of Empires
The postwar tide of decolonization freed the Philippines from the United States, Indonesia from the Dutch, and Malaya from the British. The Chinese Communist victory in China drove Chiang's regime to Taiwan. Korea remained divided after a war in which American intervention preserved South Korean independence. Japan under its American occupiers peacefully evolved a new political structure. New Divisions and the End of Empires
Although Japan had been devastated by the war, it recovered quickly
Although Japan had been devastated by the war, it recovered quickly. The American occupation, ending in 1952, altered Japan's political forms. The military was disbanded and democratization measures were introduced. Women received the right to vote, unions were encouraged, and Shintoism was abolished as state religion. Landed estates were divided among small farmers and zaibatsu holdings temporarily dissolved. A new constitution established the parliament as the supreme governing body, guaranteed civil liberties, abolished the "war potential" of the military, and reduced the emperor to a symbolic figurehead. The Japanese modified the constitution in 1963 to include social service obligations to the elderly, a recognition of traditional values. Most Japanese accepted the new system, especially the reduction of the role of the military. Defense responsibility for the region was left to the United States. Two moderate political parties merged to form the Liberal Democratic Party in It monopolized Japan's government into the 1990s. The educational system became one of the most meritocratic in the world. Japanese Recovery
Korea: Intervention and War
Cold war tensions kept Korea divided into Russian and American zones. The North became a Stalinist-type Communist state ruled until 1994 by Kim Il-Sung. The South, under Syngman Rhee, developed parliamentary institutions under strongly authoritarian leadership. The North Koreans, hoping to force national unity on Communist terms, invaded the South in The United States organized a United Nations defense of South Korea that drove back the invading forces. China's Communist government reacted by pushing the Americans southward. The fighting stalemated and ended with a 1953 armistice recognizing a divided Korea. In the following years, North Korea became an isolated, dictatorial state. South Korea, under authoritarian military officers, allied to the United States. The South Korean economy flourished. Korea: Intervention and War
Emerging Stability in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore
When the Guomindang regime was defeated in China by the Communists, it fell back on Taiwan. The Chinese imposed authoritarian rule over the majority Taiwanese. The United States supported Taiwan against China until tensions lessened in the 1960s. By then, Taiwan had achieved growing economic prosperity. Hong Kong remained a British colony, with its peoples gaining increasing autonomy, until returned to Chinese control in Singapore developed into a vigorous free port and gained independence in By the end of the 1950s, there was stability among many smaller east Asian states; from the 1960s, they blended Western and traditional ideas to achieve impressive economic gains. Emerging Stability in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore
From the 1950s, Japan concentrated upon economic growth and distinctive cultural and political forms. The results demonstrated that economic success did not require strictly following Western models. Japan, Incorporated
Japan's Distinctive Political and Cultural Style
The Liberal Democrat party provided conservative stability during its rule between 1955 and The political system revived oligarchic tendencies of the Japanese past as changes in parliamentary leadership were mediated by negotiations among the ruling elite. Change came only in the late 1980s when corruption among Liberal Democratic leaders raised new questions. Japan's distinctive political approach featured close cooperation between state and business interests. Population growth slowed as the government supported birth control and abortion. Most elements of traditional culture persisted in the new Japan. Styles in poetry, painting, tea ceremonies, theater, and flower arrangements continued. Films and novels recalled previous eras. Music combined Western and Japanese forms. Contributions to world culture were minimal. Nationalist writers, as Hiraoka Kimitoke, dealt with controversial themes to protest change and the incorporation of Western ideas. Japan's Distinctive Political and Cultural Style
By the 1980s Japan was one of the two or three top economic world powers. The surge was made possible by government encouragement, educational expansion, and negligible military expenditures. Workers organized in company unions that stressed labor management cooperation. Company policies provided important benefits to employees, including lifetime employment. The labor force appeared to be less class-conscious and individualistic than in the West. Management demonstrated group consciousness and followed a collective decision-making process that sacrificed quick personal profits. Leisure life was very limited by Western standards. Family life also showed Japanese distinctiveness. Women's status, despite increased education and birth rate decline, remained subject to traditional influences. Feminism was a minor force. Women concentrated on household tasks and childrearing, and did not share many leisure activities with husbands. In childrearing, conformity to group standards was emphasized and shame was directed at nonconformists. Group tensions were settled through mutual agreement, and individual alienation appeared lower than in the West. Competitive situations produced stress that could be relieved by heavy drinking and recourse to geisha houses. Popular culture incorporated foreign elements, such as baseball. Pollution became a major problem and the government gave the environment more attention after Political corruption led to the replacement of the Liberal Democrats during the 1990s by unstable coalition governments. Severe economic recession and unemployment disrupted former patterns. The Economic Surge
The Pacific Rim: New Japans?
Other Asian Pacific coast states mirrored Japan's economic and political development. Political authoritarian rule under parliamentary forms was common. Governments fostered economic planning and technical education. Economies flourished until the end of the 1990s. The Pacific Rim: New Japans?
The South Korean government normally rested in the hands of military strongmen. One general, Chung-hee, held power from 1961 to The military was pressured from power at the end of the 1980s and was succeeded by an elected conservative government. Limited political activity and press freedom was allowed. From the mid-1950s, primary attention went to economic growth. Huge firms were created by government aid joined to private entrepreneurship. The Koreans exported a variety of consumer goods, plus steel, automobiles, and textiles. The industrial groups, such as Hyundai, resembled Japanese zaibatsus and had great political influence. As Korea industrialized, population soared to produce the highest national world population density. Per capita income advanced, but was still far behind Japan's. Important economic inequalities continued. The Korean Miracle
Advances in Taiwan and the City-States
The Republic of China (Taiwan) experienced a high rate of economic growth. Agricultural and industrial production rapidly increased as the government concentrated on economic gains. Education received massive investments. The policies meant important economic and cultural progress for the people of Taiwan. The government remained stable despite the recognition of the Communists as the rulers of China by the United States in The Taiwanese built important regional contacts throughout eastern and southeastern Asia to facilitate commerce and opened links with the regime in Beijing that continued to claim the island was part of China. After the death of Chiang Kai-shek in 1978, the gap between mainland-born Chinese and Taiwanese lessened as gradual reform went forward. Singapore developed along lines roughly similar to those of Taiwan. Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew held power for three decades after Tight controls were maintained over many aspects of public and private life. Authoritarian rule suppressed opposition movements. Successful economic development eased the political strains; by the 1980s Singapore's people had the second-highest per capita income in Asia. After its return to China in 1997, Hong Kong continued as a major world port and international banking center. It linked China to the rest of the world. Industrial development fueled high export levels. Advances in Taiwan and the City-States
In Depth: The Pacific Rim as a U. S. Policy Issue
The rise of Pacific Rim economies raises important questions for the West, especially the United States, because of its military role and world economic position. The United States had promoted the region's economic development as part of the contest with Communism. It did not want to end its influential position of military superiority. The economic competition of the Pacific Rim states posed real threats. Japan was a major contributor to the United States' unfavorable trade balance, and it increased its holdings within the country. During the 1980s, many individuals urged Americans to imitate Pacific Rim patterns, and some firms did so. Others wanted a more antagonistic American response: evacuation of military bases, imposition of tariffs. No clear policies followed. Pacific Rim nations similarly had to rethink their relationship with the West and the United States. Access to Western markets and military assistance remained desired, but there was a strong wish to establish a more equal relationship. In Depth: The Pacific Rim as a U. S. Policy Issue
Common Themes and New Problems
The nations had more in common than economic success. They all stressed group loyalty over individualism and emphasized hard work. Confucian morality played a part in the process. All relied on government planning and limits on dissent. All benefited from contact with the flourishing Japanese economy. Pacific Rim dynamism influenced other regions of southeast Asia. By the 1980s Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia experienced rapid economic growth. But by the closing years of the 20th century, the region showed weaknesses as growth lessened, currencies declined, and unemployment rose. Many Westerners thought that the nations had to adopt more free-market competition. The economic distress brought political difficulties that played a role in a change of government in Indonesia. At the end of the century, economic growth quickened. Common Themes and New Problems
Chiang Kai-shek's success during the 1930s was interrupted by Japanese invasion. He allied with the Communists and for the next seven years, war against the Japanese replaced civil war. The war strengthened the Communists at the expense of the Guomindang since it was defeated by the Japanese when waging conventional warfare. The Communists fought guerrilla campaigns and extended control over much of north China. Intellectuals and students changed their allegiance to the Communists. By 1945, the balance of power was shifting to Mao, and in the renewed civil war after the defeat of Japan, the Communists were victorious in Mao triumphed because Communist policies won the support of the peasantry and other groups. Land reform, education, and improved health care gave them good reason to support Mao. The Communists won because they offered a solution to China's fundamental social and economic problems Mao's China and Beyond
The Communists Come to Power
The long struggle had given them a strong military and political organization. The army was subordinate to the party. The Communists used their strength to reassert Chinese regional preeminence. Secessionist movements in Inner Mongolia and Tibet were suppressed and, in the 1950s, China intervened in the Korean War and preserved the division of that country. They periodically threatened to invade the Guomindang refuge in Taiwan, and supported the Vietnamese liberation movement. The close cooperation with the Soviet Union collapsed by the late 1950s because of border disputes and arguments with the post-Stalinist leadership. During the early 1960s, China defeated India in a brief border war and exploded a nuclear device. The Communists Come to Power
Planning for Economic Growth and Social Justice
Government activity for domestic reform was equally vigorous, but less successful. Landlords were dispossessed and purged, and their lands redistributed. To begin industrialization, a first five-year plan commenced in 1953,drawing resources from the countryside for its support. Some advances were achieved in heavy industry, but the resulting consequences of centralized state planning and a privileged class of urban technocrats were unacceptable to Mao. He had a deep hostility to elitism and to Lenin's idea of a revolution imposed from above; he clung to his faith in peasants as the force of the revolution. The Mass Line approach began in 1955 with the formation of agricultural cooperatives; in 1956 they became farming collectives that provided the bulk of Chinese production. Peasant ownership ceased. In 1957 intellectuals were purged after being asked their opinion of government policies. Planning for Economic Growth and Social Justice
The Great Leap Backward
The Great Leap Forward, an effort to revitalize the revolution by restoring its mass and rural base, was launched in Small-scale industrialization aimed at creating self-reliant peasant communes, but instead resulted in economic disaster. Peasants reacted against collectivization. Communist China experienced its worst famine, the crisis exacerbated by a growing population and a state rejection of family planning. The government did then introduce birth control programs and succeeded in slowing population increase. By 1960 the Great Leap ended and Mao lost his position as state chairman. He continued as head of the Central Committee. Pragmatists such as Zhou Enlai, Liu Shaoqui, and Deng Xiaoping pushed policies of restored state direction and local level market incentives. The Great Leap Backward
"Women Hold Up Half of the Heavens."
Mao, assisted by his wife Jiang Qing, was committed to the liberation of Chinese women. Guomindang efforts to reverse gains made by women during the early revolution caused many women to support the Communists. They worked in many occupations in Communist ranks. When the revolution triumphed, women received legal equality. Women gained some freedom in selecting marriage partners and were expected to work outside of the home. Educational and professional opportunities improved. Traditional male attitudes persisted and women had to labor both in and out of their homes. Males continued to dominate upper-party levels. "Women Hold Up Half of the Heavens."
Mao's Last Campaign and the Fall of the Gang of Four
By 1965, Mao believed that he had won sufficient support to overthrow his pragmatist rivals. He launched the Cultural Revolution, during which opponents were attacked, killed, or forced into rural labor. Zhou Enlai was driven into seclusion, Liu Shaoqui killed, and Deng Xiaoping imprisoned. The destruction of centralized state and technocratic elites endangered revolutionary stability. The campaign was terminated by Mao in 1968 as the military brought the Red Guard back into line. The struggle between Mao and his rivals recommenced, with Deng slowly pushing back the Gang of Four led by Jiang Qing. The deaths of Zhou Enlai and Mao in 1976 cleared the way for an open succession struggle. The pragmatists won out; the Gang of Four was imprisoned for life. Since then the pragmatists have opened China to Western influences and capitalist development, but not to political reform. The Communists, since taking power in 1949, have managed a truly revolutionary redistribution of China's wealth. The mass people have much better standards of living than under previous regimes, and their condition is superior to that of the people in many other developing regions. The agricultural and industrial growth rates have surpassed India's. Mao's Last Campaign and the Fall of the Gang of Four
Colonialism and Revolution in Vietnam
Although the Vietnamese were brought under European rule during the 19th century, the Confucian influence of China on their historical evolution makes their encounter with the West similar to China's. The failure of the Confucian emperor and bureaucracy to prevent a French takeover discredited the system in force in Vietnam for a millennium. The French had been interested in Vietnam since the 17th century; by the late 18th century they became politically involved when internal power struggles brought wide disorder. From the late 1770s, the Tayson peasant rebellion toppled the Nguyen and Trinh dynasties. The French backed Nguyen Anh (later renamed Gia Long) and helped him to unify Vietnam by 1802. Hue became the capital, and French missionaries and traders received special rights. Gia Long and his successors were conservatives deeply committed to Confucianism, thus disappointing French missionary hopes to convert Vietnam to Catholicism. When ruler Minh Mang persecuted Vietnamese Catholics, the French, during the 1840s, intervened. By the 1890s, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos were under French control, with the Nguyen made into puppet rulers. The French exploited Vietnam without providing its people any significant return. Food consumption among the peasantry dropped between the early l900s and the 1930s while Vietnam became a leading world rice producer. Colonialism and Revolution in Vietnam
Vietnamese Nationalism: Bourgeois Dead Ends and Communist Survival
The failure of the Nguyen to resist the French discredited the dynasty. There was guerrilla opposition into the early 20th century, but it was localized, small-scale, and easily defeated. With the old order discredited, many Vietnamese rejected Confucianism. Under the French, a Western-educated middle class grew to work in government and private careers. They contested French racism and discrimination in job opportunities. French ability to repress all outward signs of opposition gave those arguing for violent solutions the upper hand. In the 1920s, a Vietnamese Nationalist Party (VNQDD), with members drawn from the educated middle class, began to pursue violent revolution. Their efforts ended with the harsh repression of the party in The fall of the VNQDD left the Communist Party, dominated by Nguyen Ai Quoc (Ho Chi Minh), as the main focus of resistance. The Communists believed in revolt based upon urban workers until, in the early 1930s, they shifted to a peasant emphasis to take advantage of rural risings. The French crushed the party, but it survived underground with help from the Comintern. The Japanese occupied Vietnam in 1941. Vietnamese Nationalism: Bourgeois Dead Ends and Communist Survival
The War of Liberation against the French
The Communist-dominated resistance movement, the Viet Minh, fought the Japanese during the war and emerged at the end of World War II as an effective party ready to continue the reforms they had inaugurated in liberated regions. By 1945, under the leadership of Vo Nguyen Giap, and with much rural support, the Viet Minh proclaimed an independent Vietnam. They did not control the South, where the French returned to exploit local divisions and reassert colonial rule. A harsh colonial war followed that closed with French defeat at Dien Bien Phu in An international conference at Geneva promised elections to decide who should govern Vietnam. The War of Liberation against the French
The War of Liberation Against the United States
The promise of elections was not kept as Vietnam became entangled in cold war maneuvers. Anti-Communist feeling in the United States during the early 1950s fed the idea that South Vietnam must be defended against a Communist takeover. A southern government, with the United States' backing, was established with Ngo Dinh Diem as president. He rigged elections to legitimize his rule and began a campaign against the Communists (the Viet Cong) in the South. The North Vietnamese regime supported the Viet Cong. When hostilities escalated and Diem proved unable to stem Communist gains, the United States allowed the military to depose him and take over the war. The fighting continued, but even the intervention of 500,000 American troops and massive bombing did not defeat the Communists. The United States gave up and withdrew its forces in the 1970s. Southern Vietnam fell to the Communists in Vietnam had its first united government since the mid-19th century, but it ruled over a devastated country. The War of Liberation Against the United States
After Victory: The Struggle to Rebuild Vietnam
Communist efforts to rebuild have floundered, partly because of Vietnamese isolation from the international community. The United States used its influence to block international assistance. Border clashes occurred with China. Vietnamese leaders of a dictatorial regime pushed hard-line Marxist-Leninist political and economic policies and persecuted old enemies. A highly centralized economy stifled growth and continued wartime miseries. Liberalization in the economic sphere finally began during the late 1980s. The United States and Vietnam began movement into a more constructive relationship. After Victory: The Struggle to Rebuild Vietnam
Both China and Vietnam have undergone revolutionary transformations during the 20th century. Monarchies and colonial regimes have been replaced by Communism. Entire social classes have disappeared. New educational systems have been created. Women have gained new legal and social status. Confucianism fell before Marxist-Leninism and later Western capitalist influences. But much remains unchanged. Suspicion of commercial and entrepreneurial classes persists, and the belief remains that rulers are obliged to promote the welfare of their subjects. Ideological systems stress secular and social harmony rather than religious concerns. Japan and the Pacific Rim have undergone lesser change, and in some ways, remain more traditional societies. But industrialization and democratization have brought change in many areas. East Asia, largely independent of Western control, has become a growing force in world affairs.

I have been having alot of problems out of my s10, it would not go from a stop the check engine light would flash then finally kick on in so I decided to change my egr valve and it did help but it's
5 Answers
These vehicles have a know problem with the spider injector assembly. I had to change mine when I had the random misfire code at aproximatley 140,000 miles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrPrPUgNLf0Ran like new after. Image and video:
I did change it 3 months ago along with distributer and plugs and wires. I changed egr yesterday it did improve the performance but it's still reading 300 random misfire and maf and map sensor. Do u think all this has went out at once? And do you think because of some of these issues possibly my plugs have been wore down
Would not hurt to change out the plugs. One or more could have fouled out. Have you replaced the crankshaft position sensor? You may want to do a compression test on the cylinders as well while you have the plugs out. How many miles are on the engine?
It says 330,000 but the person I bought it from says it's rebuilt but idk if that's the truth
If it's lost compression wouldn't it run poorly all the time? My truck only does bad at an idle now and I unplugged my maf on the way home today and it did seem like it did better but I dnt get why it's a little harder to crank when I put a new egr on it does that mean anything to you?

Re-discover Simplicity to Embrace BYOD While Protecting Your Business Application Performance
Market saturation is preventing most mobile network operators (MNOs) from growing their subscriber bases. As quality of service is the primary criteria by which subscribers choose their providers, MNOs are actively looking to combat churn by improving network coverage and performance.
The constant increase in subscriber data usage is making the planning process increasingly complex, so RAN engineering departments need to strategically build out additional capacity by accelerating and streamlining the deployment of new technologies such as LTE-Advanced.
In this webinar brought to you by Telecoms.com in association with InfoVista, Régis Lerbour, technology director, access solutions at InfoVista, will explain how MNOs can leverage LTE-Advanced capabilities to improve their service performance while reducing network costs. During this webinar, RAN engineers will be able to learn how to:
- Strategically plan next-generation multiple antenna rollouts (MIMO)
- Increase peak data rates by defining the appropriate carrier aggregation deployment strategy
- Optimize small cell deployment ROI by mitigating interferences within an heterogeneous network

about the site
This site was inspired by a discussion with Kathryn Kish Sklar about her keynote address on The Centrality of Feminisms in American History, 1775-2000 at the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Huntington Library Women's Studies Program in March 2004. That discussion led to the development of a hands-on technology workshop session at the Thirteenth Berkshire Conference on the History of Women in June 2005 entitled Crossing Geography, Culture and Time with Technology - Engaging in Women's and Gender History @ the Turn of the 21st Century. The session allowed Berks attendees, the session moderator, and one on-site presenter (and Internet guests) to participate in an online meeting with with remote presenters across the country who use computer technology in innovative ways; the presenters were at Macromedia headquarters in San Francisco, Harvard University's Library in Boston, and the History Department at George Mason University in Fairfax. I am indebted to Kitty Sklar, the Huntington Library Women's Studies Steering Committee, Ellen Wagner, Nancy Parker, the Berkshire Conference on the History of Women Program Committee, and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women for their direct and indirect encouragement of this site.
about the web manager
I gained an early appreciation for computer technology as a graduate student in history at Carnegie Mellon University in the late '70s. I wrote my dissertation on a mainframe computer using a homegrown CMU word-processing program. The back-up tape of my thesis on Women's Role in the Quest for Justice in American History is in my garage in a protective metal container.
Inputting the dissertation text was cumbersome, similar to coding HTML. However, the flexibility and overall time savings were astounding. My dissertation contains several teaching units. Using a word-processor allowed me to "think differently" about the kinds of curricular materials I could develop and field test. For example, the computer allowed me to neatly and easily format one-page role descriptions for a simulation of Congressional Hearings on the Equal Rights Amendment. The final simulation printout was in a saleable format – though the times where not conducive to feminist simulation games.... Still, once the text was input, editing was much easier than typewriter revisions. Chapter review copies for my advisors and the final printouts of my dissertation were free too. (Yes, there was a time when University Microfilms accepted dot matric printouts!) After using a computer, it was difficult to go back to a typewriter.
I am a member of the cohort earning a history doctorate in what has been referred to as "the lost generation of History Ph.D.s" of the early 1980s. My career integrates instructional design skills learned at Carnegie Mellon with computer skills that are for the most part self-taught. My professional life includes working as a faculty member in history and women's studies, faculty development administrator, academic technologist and administrator, business owner, and photographer/writer.
When time permits, this site will be updated !
Susan Kullmann gratefully acknowledges UCLA's Center for the Study of Women, particularly Regina Lark and Chris LIttleton, for support from 2004 to 2007 to develop and maintain this web site.

She's a lucky girl! Congrats Dan! What a beautiful story and start to your life as a family!
Daniel, Congrats on your engagement to Naomi. We have not had the chance to meet, but I am Marina's cousin…our mom's are sisters. I just really wanted to say that it is so go to know that you have the same gift your mother had….the gift of putting words on paper and holding the readers attention. I so enjoyed reading her family letters at the New Year and posts on Facebook! Likewise, I enjoyed reading your post here. Once again, Best Wishes for a lifetime of friendship and love with Naomi!
The story was beautiful! Congrats to you, Naomi and Gavin. May you have a wonderful life together!!!

Karachi United brings forward a fresh approach to engaging our youth and developing our communities. Here's why we do what we do:
- Sport is globally recognized to bring together nations. It is a source of pride for a country, bridging all societal, be it income or ethnic gaps in moments of success.
- Sport gives everybody a chance to excel. It does not discriminate against race, ethnicity, background or education and is a great leveler in society.
"Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination."
- Football is the world's most popular sport. This is true also for Pakistan, especially at lower levels of our society.[1]
- By engaging our youth in football, an activity in which they are genuinely passionate about, we can use this passion to motivate them towards academics and get better results.
- Engaging siblings and parents in community programs, we can affect change in each household, bridging the trust deficit and revitalizing entire communities.
- Watching a Pakistani footballer compete as a professional at the highest level will give hope and impetus to millions of our children that such heights can be achieved and that nothing is impossible.
