Apple has removed the New York Times apps from its China store, following a request from Chinese authorities to take them down. Zev HANDEL is Associate Professor in the Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Washington in Seattle. Three years ago, Twitter largely cut off third-party access to the Twitter API, which infuriated some developers. Fast forward three years: Twitter has announced plans to launch a new app development platform called Twitter Fabric. Reports say that the platform should be released on Oct. 22. The hopes are that Twitter Fabric will allow Twitter to get involved in more mobile apps and capture more data about mobile users (which is pretty much the new gold for Twitter and its competitors). China's Foreign Ministry has said its law enforcement officials would never do anything illegal, especially not overseas, and called on foreign governments not to interfere in Hong Kong affairs. We are the grid, even if we do not think so about ourselves because, one way or the other, we are conforming to the cultural dictates of the new and emerging media, and we are in a hurry to dump the old ways or willing to be numbed from acknowledging it. In so doing, we are, in plain view, becoming and allowing ourselves to be enslaved by technology, and cannot even grasp that we are in the act of doing so and are eager to ride pell-mell into the technological virtual world.

Fast-forward three years from graduation, and blood is rushing to Lin's head as he hangs upside down from a spine-stretching device at his startup's headquarters in Beijing. A few yards away, his team of writers is mashing up the day's slate of stories and blasting them out to hundreds of thousands of Chinese students in the U.S. Turton's post starts out with George Kerr's Formosa Betrayed, which seems appropriate considering the book's influence both on English-language writing about modern Taiwan and on the Taiwanese independence movement itself. (For instance, in 一個家族。三個時代:吳拜和子女們, author 吳宏仁 describes Kerr's book as having given momentum to the Taiwan independence movement, particularly among overseas Taiwanese: ｢該書的出版對台獨運動的興盛，特別是在美國的台獨運動，有推波助瀾的作用。｣) As I wrote in an earlier post. the translation of Formosa Betrayed into Chinese provided the book with a new audience not only for Kerr's perspectives, but also for a new perspective on Kerr's narrative -the justification for why Taiwanese had to save themselves (｢人不先自救，誰會救我？｣). One thing that I didn't say was that when Kerr was corresponding with his editors at Houghton Mifflin about possible audiences for the book, he mentioned the potential for a Japanese translation, but the idea of a Chinese translation is conspicuously

Now you can understand why there is so much injustice, poverty and exploitation on one hand and false philanthropy on the other in our world. If you have ever wondered why there are so many humanitarian and Christian organizations all over Africa apparently working to help lift Africans out of poverty, yet Africans still do not have access to clean drinking water now you know why. Next time the G8 countries get together and begin to wax lyrical/economical and political about how they intend to lift Africans out of poverty, please do yourself a favor and turn off your television. Vietnamese - The Vietnamese Direct service featuring the 荷兰国际集团 Saigon Broadcasting Television Network (SBTN), the first 24-hour Vietnamese programming network in America. So say many Americans after weeks of watching political wrangling over how to cut spending and whether to raise taxes as part of a deal to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by Aug. 2 so the federal government won't have to default on its loans for the fir

This intense therapeutic relationship is bound to ignite some of the unconscious conflicts within therapists.Counter transference is the phenomenon when there is inappropriate affect (emotion), when therapists respond in irrational ways, or when they lose their objectivity in relationships because their own conflicts are triggered.Counter transference also refers to the reactions therapist have toward their clients that may interfere with their objectivity.Counter transference can be seen as potentially useful if it is explored in is of paramount importance is that therapists develop some level of objectivity and not react irrationally and subjectively in the face of anger, love, adulation, and other intense feelings expressed by clients. But I'm not asking you to accept offensive, irrespectful behavior as there are ways to correct someone. If your loved one really wants you to improve your language skills, and REALLY LOVES you, he won't use your flaws to make fun of you, make you feel stupid, and use it to feel better about his poor self. SO, if he offers to help you and indeed is respectful and helpful, hey, why not? correct me as much as you can. But if you are gonna use my not-so-great speaking abilities to make fun of me, you can get the f out of

After obtaining 65.9% of the vote in 2009, there is no danger of the ANC losing power in 2014. But dissatisfaction with service delivery and corruption, the president's homestead in Nkandla, Guptagate and other scandals have worn away at its credibility. Opinion polls suggest that there is potential for it to lose significant electoral support. Hello Maita - I so appreciate you sharing your experiences! What I love about TCM is that the whole objective is to stay healthy - to eat properly and prevent illness.
