This is a chance look at key sequences, movement intent and application. Sam's approach to this form is extremely traditional and highly principled. His work over thirty years with such masters as Yang Zhenduo, Yang Jun, Yang Jwing-Ming, Brien Gallagher, Raymond Chung and others have placed Sam in a unique position to research and transmit this art. Opportunities to study this form with him are rare and if you ask Sam he will say of the Yang 108, "It's my best thing". A passionate and gifted teacher, Sam Masich never fails to inspire students along their path.

Jim and I were glad to be on the ground and enjoyed the mild temp of around 70 degrees. We met Shou Mei’s brother who took us by cab to the Kingship Hotel on Cisian 3rd Rd, Yancheng District.

  • Rethinking Decentralized Managerialism in the Taipei Shilin Night Market Management Research and Practice Vol
    Chiu C. mrp.ase.ro RETHINKING DECENTRALIZED MANAGERIALISM IN THE TAIPEI SHILIN NIGHT MARKET MANAGEMENT RESEARCH AND PRACTICE VOL. 6 ISSUE 3 (2014) PP: 66-87 ISSN 2067- 2462 RETHINKING DECENTRALIZED MANAGERIALISM IN THE TAIPEI SHILIN NIGHT MARKET Chihsin CHIU Department of Landscape Architecture, Fu Jen Catholic University, Taiwan [email protected] 2014 Abstract This paper develops the concept of "decentralized managerialism" to examine the municipal policies regulating the Taipei Shilin Night Market. The concept highlights the roles of managerial autonomy and political-economic structures previously overlooked by urban managerialism. The process of decentralization evolves mainly over two stages - self-management and private management. By organizing self-managed alliances, street vendors appropriated public and private property by dealing with the municipality and local community in legal and extralegal situations in ways that supported their operations. The municipality compromised vendors' self- September management by demanding that they be licensed and registered and by building a new market. The stage of / private management begins when the municipality officially permits vending in a district by requiring vendors to 3 rent storefront arcades from a community alliance made of local property owners that allocate vending units. In the name of reallocating pre-existing extralegal street vendors, the project privileges property owners‟ profits over street vendors‟ needs for space. Field research has found that most unlicensed vendors continue occupying streets even after they are provided with legitimate vending units; five retailers in the business improvement district have rejected the arcade allocation plan by mobilizing their own social network. Shoppers continue trading with vendors outside of the district.

  • Yilan Handbook 2011-2012
    About FSE The Foundation for Scholarly Exchange (formerly known as the U.S. Educational Foundation in the Republic of China), supported mainly by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and U.S. Department of State via the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), is one of 51 bi-national/bilateral organizations in the world established specifically to administer the Fulbright educational exchange program outside the U.S. Ever since 1957, the Foundation has financed over 1400 Taiwan Fulbright grantees to the U.S. and more than 1000 U.S. Fulbright grantees coming to Taiwan. In 1962, the Foundation started the U.S. Education Information Center for Taiwan students who need information or guidance about studying in the U.S. Since 2003, the Foundation has cooperated with Yilan County Government to organize the Fulbright ETA project, with a view to providing high-quality English instruction to students in the county’s junior middle and elementary schools. Later, in 2008, the Kaohsiung City Government and the Foundation jointly began to deliver a similar ETA program in Kaohsiung. Currently, there are 28 Fulbright ETA grantees participating in this special project in both places. FSE is overseen by a Board of Directors comprising five Taiwanese and five U.S. members, with the director of the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) as the Honorary Chairman of the Board. The Fulbright Program The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 in the aftermath of WWII, as an initiative of Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, who believed that a program of educational and cultural exchange between the people of the United States and those of other nations could play an important role in building lasting world peace.

  • The Food Safety Culture of a Night Market
    THE FOOD SAFETY CULTURE OF A NIGHT MARKET Hans Malikh C. Catedral1 University of San Carlos, Cebu City, Philippines Abstract Night markets are a popular food destination among tourists in Southeast Asia. The off-premise nature of these destinations results in a higher risk for food contamination which has brought about the need to improve food safety culture in these destinations. Previous studies have focused primarily on food sanitation practices of vendors; however, food safety culture has been highlighted in recent years as an effective means for improving safety practices. That is why, the study examined the food safety culture of vendors of a night market in Cebu City, Philippines. This descriptive research utilized self-administered survey questionnaires to 40 night market vendors. Results showed high mean scores in the indicators of management and coworker support, communication and self- commitment while lower scores on environment support, work pressure and risk judgment. It is concluded that employees’ workload, provision of timely information and feedback are indicators that increase the level of food safety culture. The study highlights the role of management as food safety procedures are followed at a certain extent but time and management pressures contribute to a decrease in following safe food handling. Keywords: Food safety, food safety culture, night markets, descriptive research, Cebu City, Philippines. JEL Classification: M14, Z32 DOI Introduction Various research in food tourism have come out in recent years, particularly focused on hygiene issues and its impact on destination experience. The Skift Report (2015) postulated that cuisine has the ability to strengthen and diversify local economies by promoting local food culture and thus is a dynamic segment in the tourism sector.

I witnessed how the restaurants in certain parts of the night market were being closed down despite of protests being held by shop owners and students at Taipei City Hall. I wondered how the various actors in this dispute were attracting attention to their side of the argument, and how this affected the outcome of events at various points in time. When looking at the importance of night markets for Taiwan’s tourism and economy, legitimizing the closing down of such an area is important. Besides these reasons people also attach a value to night markets that can only be described as cultural significance.

Introduction A. Motivation In Taiwan, the most special landmark is the night market. There are many famous night markets throughout Taiwan. Starting from every evening, the night markets are always crowded with people. Furthermore, the Taiwanese snacks in night markets have played important roles in Taiwanese people’s lives. There are many unique Taiwanese snacks in night markets that you can’t find in any other countries around the world. Every time when we go to night markets, we can see lots of vendors selling Taiwanese snacks, and there are many teenagers purchasing them. As we can see there are all sorts of snacks sold in night markets, and they are so popular with teenagers. So we want to carry out a study to investigate the attraction of the Taiwanese snacks in night markets. B. Research Questions The present study was designed to address the following research questions: 1. What are the teenagers’ responses to the Taiwanese snacks in night markets? 2. What are the teenagers’ perspectives on the attraction of Taiwanese snacks in night markets? C. Methodology The subjects were 350 students, ranging in age from 15 to 18, in Chung Shan Industrial and Commercial Vocational School in Kaohsiung. Concerning the subjects’ frequencies of visiting night markets in Taiwan, 49% of the students seldom went to night markets; 41% of them went to night markets once in a while, and only 10% of them went to night markets frequently.
