On June 16, the two local teams, playing in a Macau Cup tournament match, deliberately conceded goals to one another in what appeared to be a protest against the decision of the Macau Football Association not to send the SAR team to compete in Sri Lanka. The local football authority said it held a meeting with representatives of the two teams on June 18, beginning its investigation into the unusual match, and that more information would be released in the next few days. With regards to the missed Sri Lanka match, FIFA recently fined the Macau FA 10,000 Swiss francs (MOP82,000) for failing to play the away game. The team was also removed from qualifying for HEALTH the 2022 World Cup.

  • Land Reclamation and Installation Art in Macao, China
    Research Note LOOKING AT THE SEA THROUGH A WINDOW Land reclamation and installation art in Macao, China [Received August 10th 2020; accepted August 20th 2020 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.14.2.17] Benjamin Kidder Hodges University of Macau, China <[email protected]> ABSTRACT: This research note provides an introduction to a collaborative art exhibition by two artists, Crystal W. M. Chan and Benjamin K. Hodges, entitled Mountain Surrounded by Sea. The exhibition, installed at the Creative Macau gallery in May and June of 2020, is a sound and installation work that centres on the ‘Macau New Urban Zone’ project which consists of five new islands currently being constructed through land reclamation in Macao. This special administrative region of China and (modified) archipelago at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta is bound by tight geographical constraints so has historically expanded through land reclamation. A new development project has been launched to specifically meet the future housing and infrastructure needs of the growing population. In the exhibition, two sculptural works and a unifying sound art piece evoke the affective landscape of these developments by highlighting the tension between environmental concerns and desires for new public and private space. KEYWORDS: Land reclamation, installation, sound art, Macao, China --------- Macao is linked to its outlying islands by three bridges. for many residents, travel on them is a daily occurrence. They offer a brief reprieve from the density of the city. The governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge, the middle and oldest of these bridges, is reserved for public transportation, eg buses and taxis. The Praia grande bay and the historic Avenida da Praia Grande waterfront of Macao can be glimpsed out of vehicle windows during this commute.

  • Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early
    Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Rachel Tamar Van All Rights Reserved. ABSTRACT Free Trade & Family Values: Kinship Networks and the Culture of Early American Capitalism Rachel Tamar Van This study examines the international flow of ideas and goods in eighteenth and nineteenth century New England port towns through the experience of a Boston-based commercial network. It traces the evolution of the commercial network established by the intertwined Perkins, Forbes, and Sturgis families of Boston from its foundations in the Atlantic fur trade in the 1740s to the crises of succession in the early 1840s. The allied Perkins firms and families established one of the most successful American trading networks of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and as such it provides fertile ground for investigating mercantile strategies in early America. An analysis of the Perkins family’s commercial network yields three core insights. First, the Perkinses illuminate the ways in which American mercantile strategies shaped global capitalism. The strategies and practices of American merchants and mariners contributed to a growing international critique of mercantilist principles and chartered trading monopolies. While the Perkinses did not consider themselves “free traders,” British observers did. Their penchant for smuggling and seeking out niches of trade created by competing mercantilist trading companies meant that to critics of British mercantilist policies, American merchants had an unfair advantage that only the liberalization of trade policy could rectify.

Sob o impacto da escassez das águas vindas do trecho superior do Rio Oeste e o impacto da monção de nordeste, a Estação de Bombagem de Ping Kang em Zhuhai não conseguiu captar a água por 20 dias sucessivos, o que constituiu difícil desafi o para a segurança no abastecimento de Zhuhai e de Macau. Graças ao sistema hídrico de Zhuyin que entrou em funcionamento em Abril de 2011 e desempenhou o papel de diluição da salinidade, e às medidas de transferência de água implementadas pelo Serviço Geral para a Prevenção de Cheias e Combate à Seca de Zhuhai depois da resolução das ameaças, o governo da RAEM manteve sucessivamente os índices de salinidade da água canalizada no nível verde, sendo assim garantida a qualidade da água potável dos residentes. Mesmo que a China tenha território de grande extensão e ocupe o 6º lugar na lista dos países com maior reserva de água doce, o volume de água per capita nacional equivale apenas a 1/4 do volume de água per capita mundial, ocupando o 125º lugar na lista mundial.

  • A Case Study of Macau, China
    © 2002 WIT Press, Ashurst Lodge, Southampton, SO40 7AA, UK. All rights reserved. Web: www.witpress.com Email [email protected] Paper from: The Sustainable City II, CA Brebbia, JF Martin-Duque & LC Wadhwa (Editors). ISBN 1-85312-917-8 Urban regeneration and the sustainability of colonial built heritage: a case study of Macau, China L Chaplain School of Language and Translation, Macau Polytechnic Institute, China Abstract This paper presents a case study of late twentieth century urban regeneration in the former Portuguese colonial territory of Macau – now designated as a Special Administrative Region of China (Macau SAR). Regeneration in this context is defined and discussed here under the headings: regeneration through reclamation; regeneration through infi-astructure investment; regeneration through preserva- tion. The new Macau SAR Government continues to differentiate Macau fi-om its neighbors by promoting the legacy of a tourist-historic city with a unique archi- tectural fhsion of both West and East as an integral feature of the destination’s marketing strategy. However, regeneration of urban space through reclamation has led to a proliferation of high rise buildings with arguable architectural merit which diminish the appeal of the overwhelmed heritage properties and sites. Future plans for the development of the territory are outlined, including major projects designed to enhance the tourism product through purpose-built leisure and entertainment facilities. 1 Introduction The urban regeneration of the City of Macau can be attributed to significant developments which occurred in the last century of its four hundred years of exis- tence as a Portuguese occupied territory located in China’s southern province of Guangdong – formerly known as Canton.

  • Macau in the Eyes of a Border Scholar
    The Newsletter | No.64 | Summer 2013 24 | The Focus Macau in the eyes of a border scholar Places are created by the interplay of people and geographical space. Their identity is shaped by these people and by geographical factors, which determine the opportunities, limitations and conditions for human place-making. Macau as a unique place is mainly defined by two geographical factors: the sea and the border to China. The significance of the sea is most apparent from the fact that about two thirds of the current land surface has been reclaimed from the sea. It is also apparent from the role of fishermen, seafarers and other maritime trades in Macau’s history, from the imaginary of the Praia Grande, bridges and the Guia Lighthouse, and from the cultural diversity of a former port city and colonial outpost. Macau has always been a maritime and an international place. Werner Breitung AT THE samE timE, Macau has also always been a border The case of Macau is very illustrative for this new, more in Guangdong.

  • Signal Media Announces Completion of Increased Stake in a Macau Luxury Residential Development Project
    Media contacts Jovian Financial Communications Ltd Angel Y Y Yeung / Cindy Chow tel ：(852) 2581 0168 fax ：(852) 2854 2012 email ：[email protected] / [email protected] SIGNAL MEDIA ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF INCREASED STAKE IN A MACAU LUXURY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (Hong Kong, 28 August 2007) ------ Signal Media and Communications Holdings Limited (HKEX code: 2362.HK) announced that it has completed the acquisition of an aggregate of 86.31% of the issued share capital of MacauCo. Upon completion, the Company will hold 95% of the issued share capital of MacauCo. MacauCo owns a prime waterfront residential site on Nam Van Lake located at Lot 9 Zone A, Baia de Praia Grande, Central District of the Peninsular Macau and in close proximity to Wynn Resort, Grand Lisboa, AIA Tower and Bank of China. MacauCo has begun to develop a landmark luxury residential tower of over 50 stories, 600,625 sq. ft. gross floor area plus a parking structure of 400 stalls on the site. Sitting over the water of Nam Van Lake, the building is being designed to the highest international standards to target the top end international clientele and will feature spectacular sea views and a luxury clubhouse. The Management believes that Macau offers high growth potential especially after the opening of major casinos and leisure projects on the Macau peninsula and the Cotai strip during the next few years. High economic and population growth will continue to fuel demand for higher quality housing which they expect would further accentuate the expected shortage of high quality residential accommodation in Macau.

  • The Historic Monuments of Macau
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1110.pdf UNESCO Region: ASIA AND THE PACIFIC __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: The Historic Centre of Macao DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 15th July 2005 STATE PARTY: CHINA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Decisions of the 29th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (ii): The strategic location of Macao on the Chinese territory, and the special relationship established between the Chinese and Portuguese authorities favoured an important interchange of human values in the various fields of culture, sciences, technology, art and architecture over several centuries. Criterion (iii): Macao bears a unique testimony to the first and longest-lasting encounter between the West and China. From the 16th to the 20th centuries, it was the focal point for traders and missionaries, and the different fields of learning. The impact of this encounter can be traced in the fusion of different cultures that characterise the historic core zone of Macao. Criterion (iv): Macao represents an outstanding example of an architectural ensemble that illustrates the development of the encounter between the Western and Chinese civilisations over some four and half centuries, represented in the historical route, with a series of urban spaces and architectural ensembles, that links the ancient Chinese port with the Portuguese city. Criterion (vi): Macao has been associated with the exchange of a variety of cultural, spiritual, scientific and technical influences between the Western and Chinese civilisations. These ideas directly motivated the introduction of crucial changes in China, ultimately ending the era of imperial feudal system and establishing the modern republic.

Sweetbriar Ct, Concord, Ca 94521 E-Mail: [email protected] The Encontro Travel Package and Optional Tours are on Pages 30-32 of this Bulletin. Members planning to attend the Encontro should complete the Booking Form and Credit Card Authorization and return these with deposit checks to our Travel Committee at the earliest opportunity. I am pleased to announce that the following Officers will serve for the 2007-2008 term of the Macau Cultural Center (MCC): Alex Xavier, President; Teresa Roliz, Vice President; Maria Roliz, Treasurer; Maria Gomes, Secretary; and Directors: Art Britto, Kirk Harper, Henrique Manhão, Raquel Remedios and Maria Lourdes Xavier. In our continuing efforts to push for unification of the three Macanese clubs in California, I made the following statement to the Board of Directors of the MCC at its meeting held on April 17, 2007: “As President of UMA and a newly-installed Director of the Macau Cultural Center (MCC), I would like to express my view on the organization's membership. I believe that each and every member of the three California clubs, Casa de Macau USA, Lusitano Club of California, and UMA, Inc., should be made a member of the MCC. At UMA's last two Annual General Meetings, the members voted for the unification of the three California clubs into one. When in 1999 the Government of Macau generously donated funds amounting to US$2,000,000, it was in order to acquire a cultural center for the entire Macanese community in California, as represented by the three aforementioned clubs.
