Ancient China: Did Shang Dymasty [1600-1046 BCE] Travellers Reach the Americas? (12.3.2024)

12/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Since 1973, Americans have been discovering many strange artificial stone products in the shallow waters off the coast of California, in the United States. The total number is as high as eleven, with a number of these objects being “cylindrical” shaped, designed like an “equilateral triangle”, or “circular with an empty middle”! American scholar Moriarty pointed out – in his analysis of the stones – that these objects did not come from the Americas. “There is no doubt that this is an early stone anchor from Asia.” Based on the calculation of the manganese accumulation rate on the stones of one millimetre per thousand years, “since today It is about 2000-3000 years old.”

China: Lunar Space Programme Targets Resources! (12.3.2024)

12/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

Yang is widely known for leading the design work on the Chang’e 5 robotic spacecraft that fulfilled China’s first lunar sample retrieval mission.

He was speaking on the side-lines of the second session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which concluded in Beijing on Sunday. He is a member of the CPPCC National Committee, the top political advisory body in China.

China began its lunar programme in 2004 and has launched six robotic probes since 2007. The most recent mission, Chang’e 5, landed on the moon in December 2020 and soon brought 1,731 grams of lunar rocks and soil back to Earth, achieving a historic accomplishment about 44 years after the last lunar substances were brought back from our nearest celestial neighbour.

My Shakespeare “Complete Works” Editions! (10.3.2024)

10/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The first was in 1992 – purchased from a local WH Smiths in a place called ‘Tiverton’ in East Devon (I believe during the time that my Irish grandmother – Gladys Kilmurray – was very ill and when her British daughter and American grandchildren were visiting the UK from Seattle, US) – whilst the second was acquired from The Works in Torquay High Street in 2007 (five-years after my family had uprooted and migrated to the South Coast). Both are superb editions with the first being easy to carry around whilst the latter is a very large, impressive and “Grand” Limited Library Edition – designed as a “Reference” copy only NOT to be borrowed or moved about (it is far too heavy for that)! The first is compact – whilst the second is lavishly illustrated and easy to read.

Emails: The Homosocial World of King James I – as Recorded in Shakespeare’s Sonnets! (10.3.2024)

10/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The Sonnets have been altered, suppressed and repressed over the last four hundred years – and particularly since the advent of the 1885 anti-gay laws in the UK (passed at the same time as the ancient Age of Consent of ’12’ was raised to ’13’ and then to ’16’ in quick succession) which were used to try and imprison Oscar Wilde in 1895. With the 1967 abolition of these anti-gay laws (which outlawed sexual activity between consenting adult men) – the Sonnets were once again lauded as masterpieces of observation and wit. I suspect that an updated edition of Arden will introduce a more astute LBGTQN+ interpretation – one that this community might well find inspiring and uplifting.

Israel is a Mass-Murderer of Gazan Civilians!

DPRK: U.S. Branded as Accomplice in Zionist Massacre of Gazan Civilians! (10.3.2024)

10/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

At the UNSC meetings on the Ukrainian and Syrian issues, etc., the U.S. failed to attain its sinister purpose because of a permanent member state’s exercise of its veto. So the U.S. held a plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly, at which it incited collective pressure while talking about the “irresponsibility”, and even cried out for depriving a permanent member state of its position as a permanent member state.

But the situation has changed due to the Middle East situation last year.

The indiscriminate military attacks of Israel are killing many Palestinian civilians even at this moment, and Gaza Strip has been turned into a slaughterhouse and living hell.

The international community is being stunned by such horrible humanitarian tragedy and even its allies are turning their backs on the U.S. patronizing Israel.

Internationalism is the Essence of Wwomens' Right!

Dzud (Frozen): Mongolia & China Celebrate International Women’s Day! (8.3.2024)

08/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

“Women hold up half the sky in poverty alleviation. In fact, women hold up half the sky in every one of our families and in every sphere of society, especially in Mongolia,” Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia Shen Minjuan said at the reception.

Shen expressed her hope that in the Year of the Dragon, which symbolizes auspiciousness, all women will enjoy good health and happiness, and bilateral relations will see greater development.
