Montenegro

2006-05-22T17:27:04Z

Montenegro has become the world's newest country. Or rather, it's back!

This country briefing is full of interesting information.

Montenegro - or Black Mountain - gained de facto independence in the late 18th century, when it was ruled by bishop princes who managed to carve out a free enclave in the heart of Ottoman-occupied Balkans. This was formally recognised in 1878, when it became a monarchy.

Although recognised by all the major European powers and the United States, which maintained embassies in its tiny, mountaintop capital of Cetinje, Montenegro gained the dubious distinction of being the only Allied nation to disappear off the map after the First World War. It entered the conflict in 1914 by declaring war on imperial Germany and Austria-Hungary, but by 1915 its tiny army was wiped out and the country occupied

Leaving his tea, and regretfully interrupting the interesting conversation, and at the same time uneasily wondering why he had been sent for, as this only happened on important occasions, Levin went to the nursery.

As she dressed, she took more care over her appearance than she had done all those days, as though he might, if he had grown cold to her, fall in love with her again because she had dressed and arranged her hair in the way most becoming to her. She heard the bell ring before she was ready. When she went into the drawing room it was not he, but Yashvin, who met her eyes. Vronsky was looking through the photographs of her son, which she had forgotten on the table, and he made no haste to look round at her. "We have met already," she said, putting her little hand into the huge hand of Yashvin, whose bashfulness was so queerly out of keeping with his immense frame and coarse face. "We met last year at the races. Give them to me," she said, with a rapid movement snatching from Vronsky the photographs of her son, and glancing significantly at him with flashing eyes. "Were the races good this year? Instead of them I saw the races in the Corso in Rome. But you don't care for life abroad," she said with a cordial smile. "I know you and all your tastes, though I have seen so little of you." "I'm awfully sorry for that, for my tastes are mostly bad," said Yashvin, gnawing at his left mustache. Having talked a little while, and noticing that Vronsky glanced at the clock, Yashvin asked her whether she would be staying much

Go Sees

Go-Sees, photos inspired by Juergen Teller's book Go Sees: Girls Knocking on My Door / Hardcover / 470 pages / Scalo (September 1999) / ISBN: 3908247144.

I came up with this idea yesterday, when I was thinking of Juergen Teller's "Go Sees" and was surprised that I could hardly find any on flickr. So I created a flickr group! Please help it grow.

Red M&Ms

Red M&M's ®

Manufactured by Masterfoods USA / M&M Mars

There are approximately 500 Red M&M's ® per pound

Here's a fun trivia fact...

Red M&M's ® were discontinued for 11 years from 1976 to 1985 after the FDA banned Red Dye No. 2, even though Red M&M's ® did not contain this dye. They have always used Red #'s 3 and 40!

Many consumers protested, and a student at the University of Tennessee (Paul Hethmon, the photo editor on the student newspaper, the Daily Beacon) started a society for the Restoration and Preservation of Red M&M's.®

Red M&M's ® were reintroduced at about the same time as glasnost and the crumbling of the anti-Red scare.

Focus groups were held to decide the correct proportions for the gradual reintroduction of the banned variety during the Christmas season of 1985.

The new proportions were 30% brown, 20% red, 20% yellow and 10% each of orange, green and tan for plain M&M's.

birthday meme (March 9)

2006-04-10T06:24:07Z

Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three interesting facts, two births, and one death in your journal, including the year.

Events

1932 - The Egyptian University rector "Ahmed Lotfy El-Said" resigned to protest against the transfer of Dr. Taha Hussein without the University permission. On 2003, an academic group called "March 9" was established in Egypt to defend academic rights and university independence.
1945 - World War II: Bombing of Tokyo - American B-29 bombers attack Tokyo, Japan with incendiary bombs. The resulting fire storm kills over 100,000 people.
1967 - Josef Stalin's daughter Svetlana Alliluyeva defects to the United States.
1977 - Approximately a dozen armed Hanafi Muslims take over three buildings in Washington, DC, killing one person and taking more than 130 hostages. The hostage situation ends two days later.

Births

1454 - Amerigo Vespucci, Italian explorer and cartographer (d. 1512)
1943 - Bobby Fischer, American chess player

Deaths

1989 - Robert Mapplethorpe, American artist (b. 1946)
1994 - Charles Bukowski, American writer (b.1920)
1997 - The Notorious B.I.G., American rapper (b. 1972)
2003 - Stan Brakhage, American filmmaker (b. 1933)

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Ok, I cheated with the numbers... but only because I thought these were interesting.

Amazing! I never even knew about the defection of Stalin's daughter, or about the hostage incident in '77.

sex assignment

2006-04-07T07:55:25Z

Sex assignment refers to the assigning of sex at the birth of a baby. In over 99.9% of births, a relative, midwife, or physician inspects the genitalia when the baby is delivered, sees ordinary male or female genitalia, and declares, "it's a girl" or "it's a boy" without hesitation or uncertainty. The assignment is perceived as a recognition of an essential aspect of this new human being, apparent to everyone. In nearly all cases, usually without conscious deliberation, the parents rear the child as a member of the assigned sex/gender.

The act of assignment is a social act, and is in nearly all cases, and all societies, an act that seems a simple recognition of a simple biological reality. However, the usual act of assignment carries with it some conscious and unconscious assumptions, namely that the external genitalia reflect other aspects of biological sex, such as internal anatomy, gonads, hormones, and chromosomes. The act of assignment usually carries the implicit expectation that future gender identity will develop in the gender of anatomy, assignment, and rearing.

In a minority of cases one or more of these assumptions prove false. There have been rare instances where parents (for a variety of reasons) have reared a biologically normal child in the opposite gender. More commonly, in the case of some transgender or intersex individuals, gender identity does not simply follow the biological sex or sex of rearing. In some conditions usually termed intersex, the external anatomy does not reflect accurately the internal anatomy.

Surgery for Intersexed People

It's also possible to have XY chromosomes and be physically female.

"A woman with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) has a nearly normal female body despite a 46XY karyotype and testes, a condition termed testicular feminization in the past."

the entire set of blocks near my apartment from zhonghua road to the river are being destroyed. it's kind of hard to capture the full extent of the destruction. they created a ghost town and are now reducing it to rubble.

went to the jing'an temple hoping to see mike tyson but then realized it was probably just an april fool's hoax. damn we are naïve!!

went to the ice palace; basically a huge huge refridgerated room. they have ice sculptures of the terracotta warriors, the venus de milo, castles, igloos... icy slides, a scary luge, and even dog sleds pulled by huskies! we went to the "ice bar" where the good bartender served us ice old jäger. actually it was just coca cola.

PLA Uniforms

2006-03-13T07:44:45Z

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) began to develop its new generation of service uniforms at the beginning of 1993. The new uniforms were presented to the Central Military Commission for approval in 1995.

The CMC held a meeting on April 10, 1995 to examine the new uniforms. By the approval of Chairman Jiang Zemin, who examined the new uniforms personally, the new generation of uniforms were first tried on by the PLA Garrison stationed in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on May 1, 1997 and were introduced to the three services in the spring of 2000.

One of the most useful websites I've found is travel.state.gov. It contains all sorts of information regarding travel to and from the U.S., including a list of all U.S. Embassies, Consulates, and Diplomatic Missions. Particularly useful are the Consular Information Sheets, which tell you the visa requirements for each country and discuss safety issues. You can also register your trip and sign up for e-mail lists which will alert you of travel warnings.
