UK: Email – Defining the Latin-Term “Amanuensis”! (24.8.2026)

Thank you for your very interesting email. Years ago, when I was involved with formal academia (frequenting colleges and universities) the function of “amanuensis” was fairly common. I am not sure if this is the case today – as I am engaged in a broad post-doctorate study that involves researching in (and from) various sources of data. Generally, this is termed “field work”, etc, and can involve much travelling – but with the advent of the internet means that “without going out of my room – I can know all things” – to quote the Book of Change. I often find that examining the Chinese-language equivalent of Western words can give an important insght into the historical meaning of these terms.

China: Breakfast Shop Owner’s Gesture to Child with Cancer – Sparks Wave of Giving! (22.8.2026)

Wang, 33, had opened the breakfast shop less than a month earlier. He said he wanted to help after thinking about the financial and emotional pressure on families caring for children undergoing chemotherapy. The cash gift was roughly equal to the profit from 25 of his low-priced egg pancakes.

After the story spread online, Wang’s revenue doubled the next day and customer traffic nearly tripled. Some patrons asked that meals be given to delivery riders or sanitation workers instead. Wang later shut down some delivery channels to manage demand, refused donations and pledged to return anonymous transfers, saying he would use part of his profits to support workers in his community.

The CPC Building a Better Life for Disabled People!

China: Five-Year Plan Unveiled to Improve Services & Quality of Life for People with Disabilities! (3.7.2026)

According to the plan, China will further improve rehabilitation and care services for people with disabilities during the period. The coverage rate of basic rehabilitation services, which exceeded 85 percent during the past five years, will be raised by five percentage points.

The country will work to maintain that 95 percent of people with disabilities enjoy medical insurance and at least 97 percent of school-age disabled children receive compulsory education.

Statistics and data governance related to persons with disabilities will be a major priority in the coming five years. China plans to launch its third national sample survey on people with disabilities during the 2026-2030 period, updating national data for the first time since 2006.

The plan also calls for broader accessibility upgrades in public facilities, including hospitals, schools, banks, libraries, museums, theaters, sports venues and tourist attractions. Self-service terminals in sectors such as finance, healthcare and postal services will also enjoy barrier-free upgrades.

China will further promote the use of emerging technologies to support people with disabilities, including research in artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces and robotics, according to the plan.

The plan also encourages wider application of digital technologies such as big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things in disability assistance services.

Brave Cuban Warriors Return Home!

Cuba: Bodies of Brave “Internationalist” Soldiers Who Died Defending Venezuelan Socialism – Return Home! (12.3.2026)

In contrast, Cuba, which is very economically weak, flew across the Atlantic Ocean hundreds of doctors and nurses to Italy, and some of these Cuban angels in white were not fully prepared for protection because of the urgency of the expedition. During that period, Italy’s prime minister and foreign minister (both men) looked forward to the arrival and salvation of the socialist heroes every day like a saviour. Although Cubans have always been poor due to the long-term blockade of the United States, this country and its people have a noble internationalist spirit that is generally incomprehensible to the world today.
So, do not think Trump is the winner in his illegal kidnap Maduro, as Americans cannot shake Cuba, and I firmly believe that the future will belong to Cuba’s internationalist spirit. Socialist morality is superior to capitalist greed – and Cuba as a nation – is far more powerful in this manner. Trump’s material greed seems to have won – but it is hate filled and passing. It is Cuba’s selfless spirit of endeavour that the world will remember.

Technology has become an invaluable partner for athletes and individuals with disabilities at China's 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games

China: CPC Empowers People with Disabilities Using New Technology! (14.12.2025)

Zheng Qihao, a Games official from Guangzhou, said smart, barrier-free modules were installed across various venues. These include emergency help buttons, accessible query platforms, smart service pillars and online sign language translation machines, all connected to the venue’s central control system.

A technology exhibition at the main media centre showcased products such as AI-powered accessibility systems, guide dog robots and advanced all-terrain wheelchairs, all of which generated significant interest from visitors.

“These products are equipped with advanced balance control algorithms and reliable mechanical structures, ensuring stability and user safety on various terrains,” said Liu Yi’an, an employee from a smart wheelchair manufacturer.

Homeless in Paris!

France: La Gaîté Lyrique Théâtre [The Lyrical Gaiety] – Demonstrates Solidarity with the Belleville Park Youth Collective [Collectif des Jeunes du Parc de Belleville]! (17.1.2025)

Due to the occupation of the building, and in the absence of solutions proposed by the competent authorities, the Gaîté Lyrique is currently unable to maintain the conditions allowing the reception of the public in its spaces. The decision has been taken to keep the building closed: scheduled events are cancelled, postponed or relocated to partner venues until further notice.
