NEW PICTURES? UFO Over China (06/10/2010) Marks 8th Time Since June

admin — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 17:00:55 +0000

UFO over China – A Chinese airport was shut down for more than an hour last month because air traffic controllers saw what they believed to be a UFO buzzing the airport, according to reports out of the country. It is the eighth time since June that UFOs have been reported in China. In the latest episode, several passenger jets were diverted from the airport at Baotou in Inner Mongolia for about an hour around 8 pm on Sept. 11. The alert was triggered by bright lights in the sky that moved erratically, but reports claim that air traffic controllers at the Hohhot Air Traffic Management Bureau spotted the object on their radar. After about an hour, the object and the lights suddenly vanished and passenger jets were allowed to land. The Chinese government had said on previous occasions that the lights claimed to be UFOs were military exercises, but the government denied the Sept. 11 incident happened at all. This summer another UFO report caused a sensation and forced Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, to cease operations on July 7. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 pm and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi. Eighteen flights were affected. Though normal operations resumed an hour later, the incident captured the attention of the Chinese media and sparked a firestorm of speculation on the UFO’s identity …

Men’s Shirts: a Fashion Staple Since Time Immemorial

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:59:55 +0000

There are as many different types of shirts as there are hours in the day; and with summer fast approaching, the latest styles and fashions of that long time staple of menswear – the shirt – are sure to cause a buzz in the fashion scene all over the country and across the globe.

Whilst the American usage of the term Ã¢Â€ÂœshirtÃ¢Â€Â generally refers to any garment other than a jacket worn on the top half of the body, in Britain the term normally refers to a garment with buttons up the middle and on the collar, and long-sleeves with full cuffs Ã¢Â€Â“ an item of clothing known as a Ã¢Â€Âœdress shirtÃ¢Â€Â in America. Whilst more formal men’s shirts are often associated with special occasions and restrictive job-wear, young men in particular should not make the mistake of overlooking the fashionable men’s shirt!

The variety of garments that this definition can provide stretches is both wide and far-reaching. At one end of the spectrum, you’ll find the extremely informal white sleeveless shirt which has long been popular in punk and alternative fashions; while at the other end of the scale, people will find the only shirt that was officially recognised in mainland China for many years – the double breasted shirt with four pockets known officially as the Ã¢Â€Â˜Zhongshan suitÃ¢Â€Â™, but long referred to as the Ã¢Â€Â˜Mao shirtÃ¢Â€Â™ or Ã¢Â€Â˜Mao suit. Ã¢Â€Â™

Thankfully these days our clothing range isnÃ¢Â€Â™t quite so restrictive. New fashions in menÃ¢Â€Â™s shirts this season show that stripes, checks and grand-dad collars are back in fashion in a big way, with inspirations taken from the indie college rock scene of the mid to early 1990s along with thrift-store chic showing in the latest lines of short sleeved men’s shirts. Think fashion shirts from Weezer circa 1994 to artists such as the Kaiser Chiefs today, and you’ll be someway towards comprehending how shirts should look this season!

Long sleeved shirts are also changing to keep up with the times. Shirts with deliberately pre-rolled up sleeves are proving to be popular, with long vertical stripes and a comfortable but fitted look winning through. LetÃ¢Â€Â™s not forget as well updates to the classic smart work shirt – and of course the ties to go with them! With the increasing popularity of worryingly skinny boys in indie bands with expensive and complicated haircuts, the skinny tie has exploded in popularity again, and is one of this seasons must have mens fashion items.

How Much Progress Has China Made In Its Lunar Helium 3 Project Since 2003?

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:40:00 +0000

http://space.com/missionlaunches/china_mâ€¦

On March 3, 2003, in an article published by the People’s Daily news outlet, Luan Enjie, vice-minister of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and director of the China National Aerospace Administration (CNAA), blueprinted his country’s lunar plans and use of Helium 3 as an energy resource for earth.
Chinese space officials view the Moon as a milestone effort in a multi-step space program, not only useful in strengthening its technological muscle, but also to out-distance other countries in utilizing the Moon in the 21st century.
“The Moon has become the focal point wherein future aerospace powers contend for strategic resources. The Moon contains various special resources for humanity to develop and use”, Luan said. In particular, the space official pointed to Helium-3, a resource unique to lunar soil. “[It] is a clean, efficient, safe and cheap new-type nuclear fusion fuel”

Since Nearly Everything At Walmart Is Made In China, Has Anyone Performed Air Quality Tests In-store?

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:43:46 +0000

walmart represents everything that is wrong with this country. companies like walmart are putting all the small businesses in the area they are in out of business. mom & pop shops can’t really compete with corporate giants with their importation of cheap goods from china as far as pricing cuz they won’t make any profit. in other words, this corporate monopoly is making it harder and harder to be a middle-class small business owner.
but walmart is like the worst of the worst because it’s a greedy anti-union company that has been proven many a time to try to make a profit using its own employees health benefits. especially 1 disturbing case where they had taken out life insurance policies on their employees and made walmart the beneficiary! the insurance program at walmart is a fraud and intended to discriminate against whole groups of people & take advantage of the public welfare/medicaid so they don’t have to provide those services. a walmart worker could end up paying about 45% of their salary before seeing a single benefit. and they are notorious for hiring mostly part-time/firing employees to ensure a good turn-over, and less benefits. everyone rightfully got on walmart’s case after it was statistically shown that their health insurance package managed to effect medicaid and health insurance for THE ENTIRE COUNTRY because of all the people who work there who received welfare, food stamps and public health care.
walmart also uses many other tactics to grow and profit at the taxpayer’s expense. many, if not most or all, walmart stores are built with bonds that are issued by the local community. in other words you get to pay for it to be built!! and they pay no property taxes. and unfortunately many competitors have had to follow the model to keep up.
