Ancient China: 5000 BCE Neolithic Boat Discovered at Hemudu, [Yuyao] Zhejiang! (13.3.2024)

13/03/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

From grasping usurping natural floating objects (such as people straddling a tree trunk or holding a gourd as a means of crossing a body of water) to waist-floats (perhaps several gourds tied together with ropes to increase the buoyancy of the mid-riff) to rafts (flat and wide buoyant objects tied together to increase the buoyancy – enough to bear the weight of a person whilst floating across the water). The emergence of rafts was a clear sign of a great technological leap forward for humanity which removed a traveller getting wet and actively creating proper water vehicles. Later, with the help of stone axes and fire (according to Friedrich Engels), a “boat” (as a “Canoe”) was made from a whole piece of wood. An example of this is pictured above which stems from the 7,000-year-old (c. 5000 BCE) Neolithic ruins discovered at Hemudu, Yuyao, situated in Zhejiang.

“Since 2022, 40 percent of travellers with US passports have arrived on Saturdays for a day trip to Cayo Cruz,” she pointed out.

This is a sign of the popularity gained by Camagüey’s northern coast, where several tour operators are working to promote it as a favourite destination for sun and beach in Cuba, and for which Camagüey’s International Airport will be already in 2024 an enclave of transcendental importance in tourism.

Precisely, over the last few months of 2023, several tour operators met off Camagüey’s north coast to discuss the potential of the region, which connects the extensive area of Jardines del Rey that unites Ciego de Avila and Camagüey provinces.

Where Predatory Capitalism Persecutes Disabled People - Socialism Empowers These Citizens!

The Beatles: Everyday Chemistry Album [Parallel Universe]! (17.12.2023)

17/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The recording and arrangement are of an absolute and impressive quality – but we must avoid the trap of US anti-intellectual, stupidity, and inverse perception of reality. This is a remix of the work of the individual Beatles post-breakup – but with the finished content ascribed to an earlier – “pre-breakup” period – where The Beatles were still performing together. All the “parallel universe” nonsense is simply modern American story-telling. The Beatles were NOT American – But “British”. The British remain unafraid of open spaces and tend not to over-react to unknown or unexpected circumstance. The Beatles would have played with equal authority in this world or the next!

Flora Botton (Mexico): Why Ancient & Modern China Should Be Understood as a Completed Whole! (2.10.2023)

02/10/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

Flora Botton: Mexico and China have established diplomatic relations for more than 50 years. I am happy to say that Mexico and China have a lot of communication in all aspects, whether it is economic relations, political relations, or academic relations. Exchange students, scholarship establishment, visiting scholars, travel, language learning… all kinds of communications.

In ancient times, “sinologists” were scholars who spread Chinese culture by learning and translating Chinese. They specialized in the study of traditional Chinese culture. And now the term is widely used for any scholar who studies China, even contemporary China.

China: New Law Assists Visually Impaired Citizens! (2.9.2023)

02/09/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In Beijing, Liao Juan, an associate professor at Capital Normal University’s School of Management, said the law closely addresses the demands and expectations of the elderly and the disabled in terms of system design, establishing standards, and construction requirements.

She said the process of formulating the law is the best example of how the nation’s top legislature responds to public needs.

To implement the law and make it work effectively, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it will give stronger support to technological innovation in constructing accessible services.

The use of new technologies to guide the blind, along with voice control and speech recognition, will be encouraged, the ministry said, adding that it will also require enterprises to “bridge the digital gap” to ensure the elderly and disabled enjoy technological convenience.

The China Disabled Persons’ Federation has promised to organize visits to accessible facilities and provide feedback to relevant departments.

The federation also said it will compile and publish more books in Braille and provide versions for those with poor vision.
