I was struck by the provocative poses of Cui Jian, who blindfolded himself with a red scarf - stunned by the images of the crowds attending his performance, images that were juxtaposed with accounts of the student protests of June 1989; and puzzled, as I, a rather distant observer, always imagined China to be a totalitarian regime with little room for dissident voices.

    I. Basic Theory A. Major scale and Intervals COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMER The Cowpie Guitar Lessons are Copyright 1995 by Greg Vaughn. Lessons are Written by Greg Vaughn and typeset in BoChord 0.94 which is Copyright 1995 by Harold "Bo" Baur. The material included in this series of lessons is not guaranteed to be correct. It should be considered guidelines used in Western music - Western as in Western Hemisphere, rather than songs of the American West. The "rules" given here were much more strictly adhered to in the period of classical music, however they still serve as useful "rules of thumb" in 20th century music. They are probably true 90% to 95% of the time in Country styles. As you all probably know, music is based on scales. Scales are based on patterns of notes called intervals. Chords are built by playing a combination of notes from a scale. The smallest unit of "distance" between notes is the half-step, By "distance" I mean difference in frequency between notes which relates to a true distance on the fretboard on a guitar. The distance between any two adjacent frets is a half-step. Each note is represented by a letter from A to G. The distance between any two consecutive letters is a whole step - or two half-steps - EXCEPT for the distance between B and C, and E and F which are half-steps. A sharp sign (#) means to play the note one half-step higher than usual and a flat sign (b) means to play the note one half- step lower than usual.

  • Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution in Surface Soils of Urban Parks in Beijing, China
    Chemosphere 60 (2005) 542–551 www.elsevier.com/locate/chemosphere Assessment of heavy metal pollution in surface soils of urban parks in Beijing, China Tong-Bin Chen a,*, Yuan-Ming Zheng a, Mei Lei a, Ze-Chun Huang a, Hong-Tao Wu a, Huang Chen a, Ke-Ke Fan b,KeYuc, Xiao Wu b, Qin-Zheng Tian b a Center for Environmental Remediation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 11A Datun Road, Beijing 100101, PR China b Middle School Affiliated to People’s University of China, Beijing 100081, PR China c Computing Laboratory, Oxford University, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3QD, UK Received 29 March 2004; received in revised form 23 December 2004; accepted 24 December 2004 Available online 10 February 2005 Abstract Assessing the concentration of potentially harmful heavy metals in the soil of urban parks is imperative in order to evaluate the potential risks to residents and tourists. To date, little research on soil pollution in ChinaÕs urban parks has been conducted. To identify the concentrations and sources of heavy metals, and to assess the soil environmental qua- lity, samples were collected from 30 urban parks located in the city of Beijing. Subsequently, the concentrations of Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the samples were analyzed. The investigation revealed that the accumulations of Cu and Pb were read- ily apparent in the soils. The integrated pollution index (IPI) of these four metals ranged from 0.97 to 9.21, with the highest IPI in the densely populated historic center district (HCD). Using multivariate statistic approaches (principal components analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis), two factors controlling the heavy metal variability were obtained, which accounted for nearly 80% of the total variance.

  • Natural Gas in China's Power Sector
    December 2020 Natural gas in China’s power sector: Challenges and the road ahead China’s pledge to peak its emissions before 2030 suggests that decarbonization of its coal-dominant power sector will be key to fulfilling this goal. Natural gas emits around 50 per cent less greenhouse gases than coal when used in electricity generation.1 With the rapid deployment of variable renewables, gas-fired power plants could also enhance the flexibility of the power system and boost renewables integration. However, the development of natural gas in China’s power sector has been slow, with installed gas-fired capacity standing at 97 GW by October 2020 out of 2,100 GW total installed generating capacity, according to the latest data by the China Electricity Council.2 This falls short of the target of 110 GW by 2020, set out in the 13th Five Year plan (2016–2020). Gas-fired generation only accounted for 3.2 per cent of China’s total power production in 2019, significantly below coal’s share of 62 per cent. Average running hours were 2,646 last year, indicating that gas-fired power plants have been underutilized. This analysis discusses the latest developments in China’s gas-fired power generation, the main challenges, and the road ahead both in the context of the upcoming 14th Five-Year Plan and the recently announced 2060 carbon neutrality goal. Expensive imported gas, costly turbine technology, and the lack of fully competitive electricity markets have been the main obstacles limiting the role of natural gas in China’s power sector.

  • "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows As Cultural Representation of Local Identities
    From "Running Man" to "Mission X": Variety Shows as Cultural Representation of Local Identities Nurul Laili Nadhifah, Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia The Asian Conference on Media, Communication & Film 2018 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract Running Man, as one of Korean successful variety shows, never fails to advertise parts of Korean culture like food, K-Pop, cultural values, traditional games, history, even historical sites. With quite a huge amount of fans not only from South Korea but also from other countries as well, Running Man also occasionally encourages interactions between the hosts and their fans in some games, indirectly introducing Korean culture to all over the world, resulting in the increase of consumption on Korean culture’s products. This reality show concept is, then, adapted into Indonesian variety show called Mission X. Quite different from Running Man, Mission X has its own ways in introducing Indonesia and its culture. This study aims to analyze the way Running Man and Mission X represent themselves as the platforms of advertising their local identities by applying Fiske’s vertical intertextuality and cultural identity theories. Drawing on data collected from the shows as the main texts and SNS as secondary texts, while data of fans’ reactions are gathered by doing random interview online. This research, through comparative studies, intents to explain the similarities and differences of cultural representations shown on those shows. The findings show different aspects of local culture displayed by those variety shows caused different methods of representing them. While Running Man introducing different aspects and values of culture like food or history through games and certain themes, Mission X tends to introduce cultural aspects more through display of setting.

  • An Ideological Analysis of the Birth of Chinese Indie Music
    REPHRASING MAINSTREAM AND ALTERNATIVES: AN IDEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE BIRTH OF CHINESE INDIE MUSIC Menghan Liu A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill Esther Clinton © 2012 MENGHAN LIU All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis project focuses on the birth and dissemination of Chinese indie music. Who produces indie? What is the ideology behind it? How can they realize their idealistic goals? Who participates in the indie community? What are the relationships among mainstream popular music, rock music and indie music? In this thesis, I study the production, circulation, and reception of Chinese indie music, with special attention paid to class, aesthetics, and the influence of the internet and globalization. Borrowing Stuart Hall’s theory of encoding/decoding, I propose that Chinese indie music production encodes ideologies into music. Pierre Bourdieu has noted that an individual’s preference, namely, tastes, corresponds to the individual’s profession, his/her highest educational degree, and his/her father’s profession. Whether indie audiences are able to decode the ideology correctly and how they decode it can be analyzed through Bourdieu’s taste and distinction theory, especially because Chinese indie music fans tend to come from a community of very distinctive, 20-to-30-year-old petite-bourgeois city dwellers. Overall, the thesis aims to illustrate how indie exists in between the incompatible poles of mainstream Chinese popular music and Chinese rock music, rephrasing mainstream and alternatives by mixing them in itself.
