ABSTRACT The report examines Malaysia's prospects for developing export- oriented manufacturing industries on the economic base provided by its primary sectors while persevering with the adjustment program begun in 198S. Malaysia has an efficient tree crop sector and substantialpetroleum resources, but oil production is approaching its peak, rubber output is on a declining trend and earnings from palm oil and cocoa, the two most lucrative agriculturalexports of recent years, will take time to recover from the price slump that has afflicted commodity markets. During the remainder of the eightiea, the contributionof these subsectors to the growth of the GDP is likely to be modest. The cut in energy and raw material prices in 1985-86 has also eroded government revenues and the economy's potential for saving. Achieving balance-of-payments equilibrium and containing the increase in external debt make a further spell of fiscal austerity unavoidable,and this is underlined by the restrained investment program outlined in the Fifth Five-Year Plan. As neither government spending nor the primary sector will contribute signifi- cantly to growth, the report emphasizes the importance of broadening the industrial base and promoting manufactured exports through major institutional changes and a reform of incentives as a way of regaining growth momentum.

  • Portraits of People from Around the World Who Love Baseball. the Strength of Any Sport Can Be Measured by the Passion of Its Athletes and Fans
    PASSION. Portraits of people from around the world who love baseball. The strength of any sport can be measured by the passion of its athletes and fans. In this, no sport surpasses baseball. The intensity of the game is mirrored in those who follow it, as is the explosive joy of a home run and the drama of a key strikeout. Just as the Olympic Games are not just a sporting event but an experience, so is baseball. Around the world, the reactions are the same and the emotions strongly felt. Young and old, rich and poor, male and female – in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, Australia and the Pacifi c Rim, people who love baseball wear their hearts on their sleeves. They have an emotional connection to the game whether it’s played in a stadium or on a sandy lot, by professionals or children or players with disabilities. It’s the passion and pride every athlete and fan feels when they say, “I am baseball.”™ And it’s the passion and pride baseball will always bring to the Olympic Games. “It begins with two kids, three kids, a group of kids – and a ball. Add a stick – call it a bat – and you have baseball.” Bernard Malamud Courtesy: National Geographic MEXICO UNITED STATES An explosive pitcher, Jesus threw a perfect game in the 2008 Alex began playing baseball at the age of two.

Many hours of formal and informal learning have paid off as I have opened my eyes to other perspectives and approaches.” Mariely López-Santana, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, George Mason University, Washington DC, USA, Max Weber Fellow 2006-2007 “My first year at the EUI has been positive: for the first time I had an office, some funds for traveling, I could use photocopiers and printers, electronic databases without either struggling for a desk or with nine-to-five office hours… and in what a wonderful environment! The EUI Library had everything I had desired for ages, open shelves, journals and books in both the history of Central and Eastern Europe and economic history.” Valentina Fava, Department of History and Civilization, EUI, Max Weber Fellow 2006-2008 “The first year of my Max Weber fellowship has proved very fruitful for my research.

  • 2010 Remarkable Women: Athletes
    REMARKABLE WOMEN Honouring Women From Our Vancouver Communities Photo courtesy City of Vancouver Archives, CVA 371-1643 Barbara Howard Barbara Howard grew up in Vancouver’s Grandview neighbourhood during the 1920s when the area was still country- side. While participating in school sports days, Barbara discovered she had a talent for running and quickly became a favourite for relay teams. In Grade 8 at Laura Secord School, she won her school’s senior championship. She attended Britannia High School where the track coach, Mr. Edwards, took her under his wing. Track time trials for the 1938 British Empire Games, to be held in February in Sydney, Australia, took place in Vancouver in October of 1937. Barbara did very well at the western time trials, outrunning some stiff competition and equaling the Empire Games record of 11.2 seconds for the 100 yard sprint. Her performance earned her a spot on the Canadian track team and the community gave her a big send-off with many gifts and lots of good wishes. She was just 17 and still in Grade 11. Just before Christmas, she set sail for an incredible adventure and the 28-day journey from Vancouver to Sydney. She became the first black woman athlete to represent Canada in international competition. Barbara ran well at the Games, coming in sixth in the 100-yard final against some very formidable opponents. She was a member of the relay team that won silver in the 440 yard relay and bronze in the 660-yard relay. Upon her return to Vancouver, Barbara went on to become a UBC graduate and the first person from a visible minority to be hired as a teacher by the Vancouver School Board.

  • Nasty Women Transgressive Womanhood in American History
    Nasty Women Transgressive Womanhood in American History Edited by Marian Mollin With the Students of HIST 4914 - Spring 2020 The saying goes that well-behaved women rarely make history. For centuries, American women have been carving out spaces of their own in a male-dominated world. From politics, to entertainment, to their personal lives, women have been making their mark on the American landscape since the nation’s inception, often ignored or overlooked by those creating the record. This collection takes the long view of the American woman and examines her transgressive behavior through the decades. Including stories of women enslaved, early celebrities, engineers, and more, these essays demonstrate how there is no such thing as an “average” woman, as even those ordinary women are found doing extraordinary things. This collection comes at a particularly poignant time, as August 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification and adoption of the 19th amendment, which – in a landmark for women’s right – granted American women the right to vote. Virginia Tech Department of History in association with ISBN 9781949373516 90000 > 9 781949 373516 Nasty Women Nasty Women: Transgressive Womanhood in American History is part of the Virginia Tech Student Publications series. This series contains book-length works authored and edited by Virginia Tech undergraduate and graduate students and published in collaboration with Virginia Tech Publishing. Often these books are the culmination of class projects for advanced or capstone courses. The series provides the opportunity for students to write, edit, and ultimately publish their own books for the world to learn from and enjoy.

  • A Second Strike Baseball and the Canadian Armed Forces During World War Two
    A Second Strike Baseball and the Canadian Armed Forces during World War Two During the First World War, baseball was Canada’s national game. Baseball was officially sanctioned as part of the Dominion war effort. The Canadian government believed that baseball built better soldiers and that no other sport was better suited to teach teamwork, sacrifice or individual responsibility. Canadian soldiers so loved the game that they played it on rest, in reserve and within striking distance of German artillery. Military hospitals organized baseball leagues to rejuvenate physical bodies and heal war scarred souls. Some enlisted men spent their time away from the front establishing a Patriotic Tea House in England. The profits from that soldier-run enterprise were spent exclusively on the purchase of baseball equipment. Curious locals, King George V himself and paying crowds in the tens of thousands watched Canada’s soldiers play ball. Baseball’s ability to recall a peaceful homeland comforted men while its expressions gave them a vocabulary with which to express and suppress their experiences at the front. Canadians played other sports during the war, but none so often as baseball.1 The story of Canadian baseball during The Great War is examined in Batted Balls and Bayonets available through the Centre for Canadian Baseball Research2 or via http://baseballresearch.ca/wp- content/uploads/2018/03/Dame17.pdf By the time Canadian soldiers arrived overseas to fight a second world war, baseball’s relationship with the average fighting-age Canadian was significantly different. The National Hockey League was organized seven months after the battle of Vimy Ridge.

  • Women in Baseball Is a Crucial One to Understand Because It Parallels the Rise and Fall of the Women’S Liberation Movement Throughout the History of the United States
    TOMBERG RARE BOOKS PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE AND EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All American Girls Baseball League OVERVIEW The history of women in baseball is a crucial one to understand because it parallels the rise and fall of the women’s liberation movement throughout the history of the United States. Women’s participation in baseball is a result of social, political and economic factors that provided women the opportunity to step outside traditional roles and to participate in baseball. WORK URL 2 SCOPE AND CONTENT The Pioneers in the History of Women’s Baseball Collection dates from the early mid 1800s to the 1970s, and includes photographs, press photos, team photographs, game programs, scorecards, tickets, postcards, schedules, posters, newspaper articles, magazines, and a note, all highlighting the many women and teams that were an integral part of the history of women’s baseball. The ephemeral nature of the primary sources of the collection are rare and quite scarce due to the quasi- neglect in which women’s baseball was held by commercial and media channels. 3 PIONEERS IN THE HISTORY OF WOMEN’S BASEBALL: PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE & EPHEMERA; with a focus on the Racine Belles of the All-American Girls Baseball League $8,500 DETAILS 14 black and white photos of pioneering women in early baseball.
