Daily Reads—The Sequel: Five Valuable More-Than-Just-China Asia Sites

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

Last week, our blog-list focused on sites specifically devoted to the PRC or Taiwan, but astute commentaries on and information related to China Beattopics sometimes shows up other kinds of places on the web. With this in mind, we’ll be doing at least two sequels—this one on sites we value that have an Asian focus but are not China-specific, then another later on that deals with sites that have a global purview (but periodically have insightful things to say about Chinese themes).

1. Japan Focus

Since this site’s editor, Mark Selden, is the author or co-author of several important books …

Designing An Autonomous Helicopter Testbed: From Conception Through Implementation, Richard D. Garcia

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Miniature Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are currently being researched for a wide range of tasks, including search and rescue, surveillance, reconnaissance, traffic monitoring, fire detection, pipe and electrical line inspection, and border patrol to name only a few of the application domains. Although small / miniature UAVs, including both Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) vehicles and small helicopters, have shown great potential in both civilian and military domains, including research and development, integration, prototyping, and field testing, these unmanned systems / vehicles are limited to only a handful of university labs. For VTOL type aircraft the number is less than …

5 Good Short Reads On China Beat Topics–All By People Who Aren’T China Specialists

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

Academics focusing on China, like other area specialists, tend to place a high value on formal training in the language and culture of the place we’ve devoted ourselves to teaching and writing about. We think (and I’m no exception) that most of the best scholarly work on Chinese issues has been done by people with this kind of training. And the people outside of the academy that we pay the closest attention to—journalists, free-lance writers, business commentators, policy analysts, etc.—tend to be those who have had some training in Chinese studies, or know the language and have demonstrated a primary …

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

This past Christmas, AIDS activist and new daddy Hu Jia was arrested by Chinese authorities. He is currently in detention and his lawyers have been denied access, while his wife and newborn son remain under house arrest with extremely tight security. This month a You Tube video appeared, filmed by Hu and his wife last year, that can only be described as “Reality TV for Those Under Government Surveillance.” Rebecca MacKinnon, one of the best bloggers on the media and China today, gives a searing analysis of the situation. For more on Hu Jia, the blog Black and White Cat …

Successful Teaching Strategies In Band Programs With At-Risk Students, Kevin D. Lewis

Theses & Honors Papers

This thesis examines instructional methods for teachers of music in the new age and how to make the things learned in class relevant to their daily lives. As culture around the world is steadily changing, the methods for instruction need to be changing along with it. Not only does instruction need to now incorporate new technology, it also needs to provide students with relevant experiences they can utilize later in life. The thesis argues that teachers of music need to utilize technology in their classroom, respect the student’s creative choices, and encourage experiential learning.

Reseña De Nadie Hablará De Nosotras Cuando Hayamos Muerto: El Thriller Como Comentario Social, Oscar Pereira Zazo, Lola Lorenzo

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Un torero, o quizá un miembro de la cuadrilla del torero, firma un programa a un admirador de la fiesta taurina. Son los primeros planos de esta película. Otro torero fuma con gesto grave, preocupado por lo que le espera. Se pone a rezar un padrenuestro para que la corrida salga bien y se le respete la vida. Son los rituales de los toreros en capilla.

Reseña De Barrio: Realidad E Incongruencia Social En Un Melodrama Moral, Oscar Pereira Zazo

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Una historia de hoy en día que tiene por protagonistas a tres muchachos de quince años: Rai (Críspulo Cabezas), Javi (Timy Benito) y Manu (Eloi Yebra). El lugar es Madrid, en uno de los barrios de la periferia: ciudad dormitorio, barrio obrero de grandes torres de apartamentos que linda con la autopista de circunvalación M-40. Verano, seguramente agosto, cuando muchos madrileños están de vacaciones y quedan en Madrid los más pobres, los marginados y los emigrantes.

La ruleta de un casino en alguna parte del mundo: Un croupier se dirige en francés a las personas que rodean la mesa de juego. Uno de los jugadores está ganando; otro hace gestos con un pañuelo que se ha sacado del bolsillo. Las cámaras de seguridad del local lo registran todo. Pronto veremos de qué manera tan simple se le acaba la suerte al ganador.

Reseña De Belle Époque: La Cultura Del Silencio Y La Nueva Imagen De España En El Año De Gracia De 1992, Oscar Pereira Zazo, Lola Lorenzo

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

El traveling nos adentra por un camino de palmeras. Al fondo se divisa un objeto que en la distancia resulta difícil de identificar. La musiquilla ligera sobre los títulos de crédito nos predispone a sentarnos relajados en las butacas. Es muy posible que lo que vayamos a ver tenga mucho de comedia.

Reseña De Abre Los Ojos: Life Is A Dream, Oscar Pereira Zazo

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Madrid (aséptico y muy deslocalizado), en el presente y ciento cincuenta años en el futuro. Asistimos, por dos veces, al despertar de César, joven de veintipocos años. En la primera ocasión observamos atónitos un imposible Madrid vacío. El primer sorprendido es César, quien detiene el coche cuando se da cuenta de que no hay un alma por las calles y sale corriendo Gran Vía abajo hacia la Plaza de España. El segundo despertar es una repetición del primero, con algunas importantes diferencias.

This has been rumored for awhile here in Beijing, but the Angry Chinese Blogger gives the lowdown on the decision by some of the top Olympic teams to avoid staying in Beijing during the games. Reportedly, teams from Europe and America are making arrangements to stay and train in (and this is sure to be particularly galling to the Chinese) Japan out of concerns for pollution, food safety, and other issues. No idea how …

Following A Recipe: When Op-Ed Pieces On China Go Wrong

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is visiting Beijing and the Daily Telegraph has a dour op-ed piece written by Bruce Anderson in today’s edition. Anderson argues that China’s reemergence as a great power is not nearly as worrisome as the prospect of China’s failure.

“If China succeeds, there will be a price. The West would lose power. But Chinese success is much the lesser evil. Imagine what would happen if that huge and powerfully armed nation became a failed state.”

Fair as it goes. China is a large, powerful, and nuclear-armed nation. A collapse of the Chinese state would likely …

Why China’S Dollar Pile Has To Shrink (Relatively Soon)

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

James Fallows has a piece in the February, 2008 Atlantic on what he calls “The $1.4 Trillion Question” – why China continues to accumulate $1 billion a day in relatively low-return American assets (mostly Treasury bills), why this can’t go on forever, and what it could mean if this pattern of investment ends abruptly rather than slowly. On the whole, it’s a good introduction, with some useful background on the people responsible for making the central government’s investment decisions. (The point that one of the two key figures, unlike his counterparts almost anywhere else, has never invested for himself, or …

Self-Promotion Saturday: China’S Brave New World

China Beat Blog: Archive 2008-2012

My latest book—and my first that is virtually free of footnotes, includes lots of first-person anecdotes, and has some chapters that combine equal parts historically informed analysis and playful musings—went into production a year ago. At the time, I didn’t realize quite how much of a “best of times, worst of times” year 2007 would turn out to be for the appearance of a work like China’s Brave New World—And Other Tales for Global Times, which strives to offer an alternately serious and whimsical look at ways the PRC and the world at large have been changing.
