		Handover, or handoff as it is called in North America, is the switching of an on-going call to a different channel or cell.
		Handovers can be initiated by either the mobile or the MSC (as a means of traffic load balancing).
		The 'minimum acceptable performance' algorithm [3] gives precedence to power control over handover, so that when the signal degrades beyond a certain point, the power level of the mobile is increased.

	The Handover of Hong Kong 1997
		The Handover of Hong Kong was a fabulous thing to be a part of.
		The handover would happen during the evening of Monday, June 30 and the early hours of July 1.
		I guess in retrospect, as a 24-year-old American in town for the handover, it would have been more exciting if I streaked down the streets of Wan Chai to celebrate the stroke of midnight.

	President Outlines Steps to Help Iraq Achieve Democracy and Freedom
		Americans have seen the flames of September the 11th, followed battles in the mountains of Afghanistan, and learned new terms like "orange alert" and "ricin" and "dirty bomb." We've seen killers at work on trains in Madrid, in a bank in Istanbul, at a synagogue in Tunis, and at a nightclub in Bali.
		History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.
		We believe it is a tragedy of history that in the Middle East -- which gave the world great gifts of law and science and faith -- so many have been held back by lawless tyranny and fanaticism.

		In their fashion, Iraqis have come to see their recent history as a passage from the rule of the tyrant to the rule of the foreigner.
		In the course of a more normal history, Iraqis would have sacked their own despotism, overturned, on their own, the dictator's monuments and statues, written their own story of rebellion against tyranny.
		In their modern history, Iraqis witnessed direct British control over their country (from 1921 to 1932), followed by a quarter-century of a subtle British role in their politics, hidden behind a façade of national independence.

		Its stability and freedom from vicissitudes allowed them to prosper in turn -- to the point where the riches of this little colony are now of staggering dimensions, and are the source of much pride and no little envy.
		And yet now, to judge from this first speech, the history books are to be changed, the perspective is to be altered.
		China is in control now, and as so often results from the kind of totalitarianism her rule brings in its train, truth becomes the first casualty of the change.

		At the beginning of the twenty-first century, no leader in the Americas is better poised to significantly shape relations between the United States and Latin America than Mexican President Vicente Fox.
		With Jorge Castañeda, a leading intellectual (and Current History contributing editor), as foreign minister, the Fox government may well be more actively engaged than previous administrations on such questions as threats to democracy and the internal conflict in Colombia.

	A. Chun: Draft of Conference Paper
		History is what hurts, it is what refuses desire and sets inexorable limits to individual as well as collective praxis, which its ‘ruses’ turn into grisly and ironic reversals of their overt intention. But this History can be apprehended only through its effects, and never directly as some reified force.
		[6] Given popular acceptance of the handover’s inevitability and the change of political sovereignty, the mood should have been ripe for the imposition of a new, if not different, “identity”. Indeed, several writers have gone further by predicting the imposition of radical penetration of Party, military and other bureaucratic presence after the handover.
		[9] As Frank Ching (1998:218) has noted, the preparatory committee created in 1996 to oversee the handover was abolished, as were other bodies that had been seen as potential instruments for interfering in Hong Kong affairs. Even the spokesman at Xinhua News Agency was removed.
