Chinese The second sense of the term refers to the structure of Chinese characters and is intended to draw attention to the fact that, in most cases, a character is composed of two elements, a phonetic grapheme which suggests the syllabic pronunciation of the full character, and a semantic element which hints at its meaning. All Chinese characters, or at least all the characters one is likely to encounter in reading a text written within the past two millennia or so, and excluding a few of direct pictographic origin, are actually combinations of some 200 semantics and 4,000 phonetics. This dialect is spoken by some 36,000 people in Soviet Central Asia descended from Muslim Chinese refugees who fled persecution at the hands of the Manchus in the nineteenth century (Isayev 1977:186-187; Rimsky-Korsakoff 1967:356, 410-413; Rimsky-Korsakoff Dyer 1987:235). www.pinyin.info /readings/texts/visible/visible.html

Shenzhou spacecraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Shenzhou (Chinese: 神舟; pinyin: Shénzhōu) is the name of a spacecraft from the People's Republic of China which first carried a Chinese astronaut into orbit in 2003. However, the Chinese media has downplayed possible military motivations although Shenzhou's orbital module, staying in orbit for a few months before falling back to earth and disintegrating, is equipped with a high-resolution observation camera, which could be used for military intelligence. The current Chinese human spaceflight programme was authorized on April 1 1992 as Project 921/1, with work beginning on January 1 1993. www.eastcleveland.us /project/wikipedia/index.php/Shenzhou_spacecraft

Sgt Grit's Marine Forum - Chinamen in Space... Chinese space engineers openly admit that the People's Liberation Army is using U.S.-made software and computers to improve its ballistic missile force and military manned space missions. The fact that the Chinese army is running Project 921 comes as no surprise to many defense analysts, who contend that the Shenzhou spacecraft was designed for war. Radiation-hardened computer chip technology is considered to be a key element of atomic warfare because it gives the Chinese army the ability to fight and control its forces during nuclear combat. www.grunt.com /forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=6974

Chinese woman in space In September 2004, Chinese space watchers identified a female taikonaut candidate as experienced Air Force Flight Instructor, Major Guo Liman, aged 32, who may be favourite to make the first flight. Whilst China has not given firm indications of when they will send a woman into space, Western observers believe the Shenzhou 8 mission, due to be launched in mid 2007 is likely. All are likely to be recruited from the ranks of pilots within the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). www.arikah.net /encyclopedia/Chinese_woman_in_space

Online NewsHour: China in Space -- October 15, 2003 Chinese television explained that after rigorous tests, the 38-year-old fighter pilot had been chosen from 15,000 contenders. IAN WILLIAMS: With a patriotic sense of occasion, Chinese television showed Yang Liwei, the country's first spaceman-- or taikonaut, in Chinese-- as he strolled triumphantly towards his long march rocket before dawn this morning. Chinese Air Force pilot Yang Liwei told to his wife and son, "I feel good," as he looked down on his homeland from space. www.pbs.org /newshour/bb/asia/july-dec03/china_10-15.html

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Chinese government: Female astronauts to be recruited for space missions Chinese women will be recruited as potential astronauts for space voyages starting next year, with candidates chosen from mainland China as well as its territories Hong Kong and Macau, the government said Friday. Gu Xiulian, chairwoman of the All-China Women's Federation, was quoted Saturday as saying she had proposed the training of female astronauts after China's first manned space mission last year. Hu said China's space technology has matured and helped lower the stringent physical requirements for space travel, allowing more leeway in choosing astronauts. www.signonsandiego.com /news/features/20040312-1852-china-spacewomen.html

Chinese Cultural Studies: Ban Zhao (45-116 CE): Lessons for a Woman, 80 CE Let a woman not act contrary to the wishes and the opinions of parents-in-law about right and wrong; let her not dispute with the them what is straight and what is crooked. When a woman observes such principles as these, then she may be said to continue ancestral worship. Let a woman be correct in manner and upright in character in order to serve her husband. academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu /core9/phalsall/texts/banzhao.html

China set to join ranks of space-faring nations csmonitor.com At the space exhibition, a Chinese woman who works in a park, and who took off early for the national holidays this week, says that the Shenzhou 5 astronaut mission makes her proud of China. Space policy experts say that either the Chinese are extremely confident about the launch, or have decided to closely control the publicity on a program whose success or failure is highly sensitive. The launch of a Shenzhou 5 capsule on top of a Long March 2F rocket is the next giant leap in a Chinese space program that, on paper, is every bit as ambitious as the US Apollo missions of the 1960s - with Beijing aiming later at a space station, the moon, and beyond. www.csmonitor.com /2003/1002/p01s03-woap.html

Mormons In Space Indeed, not only will the space technician have a quasi-religious relation to his machine but he himself must become more and more machine-like, achieving a perfect symbiosis with his computer which, in the long nights of space, is often his only and always his most reliable guide, his companion, his buddy, his friend. The space worker, then, must be a highly ascetic type, pure in body and soul, perfect in his performance, obedient like a well-wound clock and extremely fetishistic in his mental modes. All agree, first of all, that the main impediment today to the development of human colonies in space is bio-social rather than technological, i.e., you may be able to glue the space shuttle's tiles together but gluing the right space worker-technician is a project that even the present genetic breathroughs are far from having solved. deoxy.org /mormons.htm

Thinking About Space Futures... Expansion into space described a series of incremental steps from Earth, into low Earth orbit, to the Moon, and to Mars and beyond, not unlike those envisioned very early on by NASA and other space agencies, and re-articulated in the various vision documents of the 1980s. One was that space flight should no longer be the privilege of a highly trained professional elite: "Until everyone can go into space, no one should go." The second statement was that space flight must become as safe, reliable, and cheap as commercial air transportation is now. The long-term trend seems to be a move away from large expensive space missions in favour of a greater number of cheaper missions based on using small spacecraft. www.futures.hawaii.edu /dator/space/thinking.html

"Chinese Diet Pills Killing Asian Women" Another woman suffered liver failure in May after taking Slim 10, but was saved by a liver donation by her boyfriend. On Friday, authorities said the diet pills may have been behind the deaths of a 36-year-old woman from severe hepatitis last November and a woman in her 60s from liver disease in February. A 60-year-old woman, died in a Tokyo hospital in May, about a month after she started taking the pills. www.gentlespirit.com /margins/Health/18.html

Curious About Astronomy? Space Exploration and Astronauts China joined the list of nations who have independently launched people into space on Oct 15 2003 when they sucessfully launched their first Taikonaut (from the Chinese word taikong, meaning space). The history of human space flight has been dominated by the US and Russian efforts in space and was unquestionably accelerated by the cold-war rivalry between these two countries. The space race would ultimately end with the US landing of Apollo 11 on the Moon in June 1969. curious.astro.cornell.edu /space.php

Time Line of Space Exploration They perform three space walks, installing six new gyroscopes, a new guidance sensor, a new computer, a voltage/temperature kit for the spacecraft's batteries, a new transmitter, a new solid state recorder, and thermal insulation blankets. The mission is dedicated to the study of the effects of weightlessness on the human neurological system, with the astronauts serving as both researchers and experimental subjects. July 12, 2001 - Space Shuttle Atlantis lifts off in the pre-dawn darkness for the ISS with the Joint Airlock which will enable space walks to be performed directly from the space station itself (I am there to watch the launch!). my.execpc.com /~culp/space/timeline.html

BBC NEWS Asia-Pacific China launches spacewomen hunt The Xinhua news agency quoted a space official as saying the woman would first be taught to pilot aircraft, then spacecraft. China is to start scouting its high schools next year to find candidates to be the country's first woman in space. Earlier reports have already laid out the division of labour clearly, saying the first female astronaut would be allowed to do research work while the spacecraft would actually be piloted by a male colleague. news.bbc.co.uk /2/hi/asia-pacific/3932057.stm

MysticWicks Online Pagan Community and Pagan Forums - First Woman in Space Lauds China for its 'Will and Desire' for Manned Spaceflight Chinese astronauts spent months undergoing rigorous physical training at the Russia Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, near Moscow, she said. I always thought it was odd that the US acted like they were the ones that put a woman in space. Still, she predicted that space travel would someday become common for people other than seasoned pilots and astronauts, following American Dennis Tito's $20 million trip on a Russian craft as the first-ever space tourist. www.mysticwicks.com /showthread.php?s=3773fc3f36b5cb15b098f21e467eb7f7&t=34868

Voyager Starship - MIT Space Plasma Group It contains the spoken greetings, beginning with Akkadian, which was spoken in Sumer about six thousand years ago, and ending with Wu, a modern Chinese dialect. It will be forty thousand years before they come within a light year of a star, called AC + 79 3888, and millions of years before either might make a close approach to any other planetary system.

E-ASPAC In modern Chinese literature, a Chinese woman, as an agent of desire, often brings disastrous consequences upon herself; either she dies (as is implied with Ding Ling’s Shafei), or, as with CoCo, she is left alone to pick up the pieces of her life and move on. The question of who is the modern Chinese woman is one that has been asked many times before, especially by female heroines who oftentimes possess contradictory desires and relationships within their modern identities. In this novel, what different representations of the modern Chinese woman are constructed and portrayed? mcel.pacificu.edu /easpac/2003/vickery.php3

The moon - a gigantic leap for the Chinese who spy a business opportunity in space The Chinese official news agency said last year that a moon probe would be useful in "raising national prestige and inspiring the spirit of nationalism". But now Chinese scientists have promised the ultimate great leap forward: a Chinese astronaut in orbit by 2005, a manned landing on the moon by 2010 - followed by a permanent lunar base to exploit the new high frontier of commerce. Chinese scientists also predict that Mars will be the next target after the moon. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/687097/posts

IOL: Court backs Chinese woman's stay in Britain Luxembourg - A Chinese businesswoman who fled Beijing's one-child policy to give birth in Northern Ireland should be allowed to remain in Britain, the European Union's highest court ruled on Tuesday. Man Lavette Chen, who works with her husband for a large Chinese chemicals firm, went to Northern Ireland to have her second child there to avoid possible sanctions for breaching Chinese population control measures. The ruling by the European Court of Justice hinged on the child's acquisition of Irish nationality, which in turn allows the child to live in another EU country and to be looked after there by her mother. www.iol.co.za /index.php?set_id=1&click_id=3&art_id=qw1098194040219B241

SPACE.com -- Taikonaut's Takeout: Chinese Food of Course Yang -- who was referred to as a ``taikonaut'' based on the Chinese word for space -- also had medicinal herbs and tonics to drink after his meal to assist digestion. Even more than most cultures, Chinese take their food seriously. Today, such novelties as ``space ice cream'' -- dry and crispy, in a foil envelope -- are sold in places such as the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum. www.space.com /missionlaunches/china_food_031015.html

RedNova News - Space - China Promises to Send Woman in Space but Not in the Near Future:Official Chinese astronaut Yang Liwei landed safely on earth on Oct. 16, 2003 aboard the Shenzhou-5 after orbiting the Earth 14 times on the 21 hour mission, making China the third country after Russia and the United States able to put people in space. During a briefing on China's geospace exploration program in cooperation with Europe, Sun Laiyan, director of the China National Space Administration, said China is considering a plan to select woman candidates and train them for space missions. He said it is possible women may be chosen to do lab work on space missions in the future. www.rednova.com /news/stories/1/2004/08/12/story107.html

CIA - The World Factbook -- China In late 1978 the Chinese leadership began moving the economy from a sluggish, inefficient, Soviet-style centrally planned economy to a more market-oriented system. Chinese Communist Party or CCP [HU Jintao, General Secretary of the Central Committee]; eight registered small parties controlled by CCP In its rivalry with India as an economic power, China has a lead in the absorption of technology, the rising prominence in world trade, and the alleviation of poverty; India has one important advantage in its relative mastery of the English language, but the number of competent Chinese English-speakers is growing rapidly. www.cia.gov /cia/publications/factbook/geos/ch.html

First Chinese Woman To Enter Space By 2010, But Not Behind The Controls The chief designer of the Chinese space program said last month he expected a space station would be established within 15 years. China plans to send its first woman into orbit by 2010, but the country, which prides itself as an equal-opportunity society, does not plan to let her sit in the driver's seat, state media said Monday. It put China alongside the United States and the former Soviet Union as the only countries in the world to send a man into orbit. www.spacedaily.com /news/china-04zo.html

:: Xinhuanet - English :: "Following the country's first successful manned spaceflight last year, I put forward the suggestion that women should also be trained for space travel, and this suggestion has been accepted bythe central authorities," Gu, also vice chairwoman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Chinese parliament, added. While officials in charge of China's manned spaceflight program were yet to be reached for confirmation, high-ranking sources with the ACWF confirmed Gu's announcement. China joined Russia and the United States in the elite club of manned spaceflight last October as the homemade Shenzhou-5 spacecraft, piloted by Yang Liwei, a former fighter pilot of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) air force, orbited Earth 14 times and returned safely. news.xinhuanet.com /english/2004-03/07/content_1350136.htm

China wants to put philosophers in orbit - Space News - MSNBC.com Sun confirmed plans to rocket women into space, but said it would not happen in the near term and he did not give details of the recruiting program. Yang Liwei, selected from a pack of air force pilots, became the first man in China to be launched into space last October as part of an ambitious manned space program that is a major source of national pride. The next manned space launch, called Shenzhou 6, is scheduled for next year, Sun said. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/5674361
