...There is a story last month telling that an old lady was tricked into buying loads of dried abalone, thinking them to be from Japan worth thousands of dollars but in reality those are produced in mainland and hardly worth a few hundred bucks. They pretended to be mobile hawkers, selling dried abalone on the street. The victim approached and started to examine the goods, while the accomplice, disguised as passerby, also approached and made comments on the cheap dried abalones. She made statements such as how good quality the dried abalones were in, how cheap those were, and how profitable it would be to buy those here and sell it somewhere else. Believed that the accomplice was some random person who coincidentally passed by, the old lady, the victim was convinced that buying those in the given price was an good idea. However the old lady flinched upon hearing how much those costed. Now the accomplice said she would share the cost with the victim half-half, with intention to buy those dried abalones herself. Again, thinking the accomplice to be a benign, goodhearted woman, she thought it is the opportunity of the year to make a margin. With her guard down, the victim paid $3000, only to be told by her son that those abalones were available in proper stores for around $300. Scam? In my housing estate? It is more likely than you think! Now one may say that the old lady should share the responsibility of being gullible enough to be tricked, but that is an argument I do not agree...

...Bound The night had been cold and wet. Even the cave walls felt extremely cold and looked umber. The floor is so hard and would be such a pain to sleep on. She is a silly one to sleep out here on the floor. Her head was placed near the Kang as she layed there peacefully. The cold morning air would surely still be biting at her toes. I stood over Xing Xing, “wake up and drink this,” I ordered. Xing Xing awoke with a confused and dazed look on her face. I made Xing Xing a warm potion as I knew she would have to awake ill. I mixed wild tea leaves with shallots, ginger and dogwood. I had made it in hope that it would calm her qi. Xing Xing drank it; I could see her eyes were heavy. I wanted to make her go and do chores but in fear that the ancestors were watching but instead I just said, “Sleep now Xing Xing”. After 10 minutes had passed I just realised Wei Ping would wake soon so I went and woke Xing Xing up. “Get up now lazy one and get some fresh water,” I barked. I watched as she sluggishly got up. I knew she’d take forever to get back as she’s obsessed with that annoying fish. She looked really weak but I knew she was strong and she’d get through it. I told her that when Wei Ping had married we would start to think about her future. I lied. My daughter had awoke and she was sitting on the kang. “Where is Xing Xing mother?” she asked. “Xing Xing is busy doing her jobs,” I replied. I knew Wei Ping could tell where Xing Xing was; I saw the disappointment in her eyes. Wei Ping...

...Judging from the fact that Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu were prominent names in Chinese history, I believe that they resided in the city of Ch’ang-an, the biggest city in China. The city was the busiest city in China at the time. And probably outside Xiao Qiao’s window are shops and streets filled with people especially the tea shop where people go to warm themselves during a cold winter day. 2. Zhou Yu was the general of Qu of the three kingdoms in Ancient China. He was handsome and intelligent. A brilliant military leader and strategist, Zhou Yu was among the most coveted men during his time. Aside from being a brilliant character in the field of battle, Zhou Yu also has great musical capabilities as it was said that he could tell if there were mistakes in music even when he was intoxicated. Zhou Yu fought alongside Sun Ce and won the foundation east of Yangtze River. Upon the death of Yangtze, Zhou Yu assisted Sun Quan with military and political affairs. He died at the age of 36. Although he died young, he was very accomplished because until his last second, he was still doing his job as a militarist. 3. Xiao Qiao literally means “the younger Qiao”. She is called so because she is the younger daughter of Xiao Quan, one of the most influential icons in their time. Her elder sister, Da Qiao, was married to Sun Ce, one of China’s best generals. Xiao Qiao was married to Zhou Yu. In the poem, Chou Yu also pertains to Zhou Yu, the handsome and intelligent militarist. Xiao...

...Forward Swept Wing Fighter Needed For US ME 363 Engineering Tools, Analysis, and Communication Abstract When looking for the next best thing in aviation, sometimes it is important to look back at old ideas that have not been used yet. A forward-swept wing provides better lift to drag ratios, compared to a swept-back wing of the same area, higher lift to drag ratio; higher capacity in dogfight maneuvers; higher range at subsonic speed; improved stall resistance and anti-spin characteristics; improved stability at high angles of attack; a lower minimum flight speed; and a shorter take-off and landing distance. Comparing the only U.S. forward-swept wing jet (X-29A) to contemporary fighters, the X-29A outperforms them in angle of attack and lift to drag ratios. Forward Swept Wing Fighter Needed For US Introduction A forward swept wing design has been tested and dismissed by the United States, though it just might be the right configuration for the next United States fighter aircraft. NASA tested the X-29, a forward-swept wing jet, back in the early 90’s and submitted their data, but a fighter aircraft was never produced. Over the years since then certain areas of engineering have advanced and are now up to the task of supporting an aircraft featuring a forward-swept wing. This forward-swept wing configuration gives several advantages to a fighter aircraft which could be the deciding factor of a dogfight. “In 1936...

...Like Su Tong, Yu Hua ventures to demonstrate the inevitable escape from history, particularly, the history of the Cultural Revolution. In “1986”, Yu Hua portrays a high school history teacher going missing during the revolution and his return ten years after the event. Yu Hua employs different perspectives in depicting the story of the history teacher as to illustrate the idea that everyone is closely connected to history and no one is able to escape from it. The history teacher, his wife, daughter and the onlookers are all shrouded by the nightmare of the revolution and all attempts at taking different means of escape. Before he is taken away by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution, he is calmly washing his feet while at the same time meditating, “He is thinking that it may be his turn now.” (Yu Hua 342) Different from most trauma sufferers, he does not have a lack of preparedness for the event....

...Derangement as a way to escape trauma, similarly, can be reflected in Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. As a survivor of the bombing of Dresden in World War II, Billy Pilgrim has turned into a schizophrenic by imagining a trip to a non-existing planet called Tralfamadore, where he acquires the ability to come unstuck in time and gains a new philosophy of life. The fragmentation of the narrative pattern in Slaughterhouse-Five represents Billy’s inability to integrate the dreadful experience into his consciousness. Billy’s post-traumatic symptom reveals in his constant visit of past events, especially the tragic bombing scene. According to Farrell, trauma sufferers’ symptoms can go from the state of ‘paralysis’ to ‘frantic’ (Post-traumatic...
