    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • ETG-YAP Strategic Framework
    The following is a brief analysis of a “Strategic Framework of Cooperation,” signed between ETG (Deng Hong) and Yap State Government (as represented by Governor Sebastian Anefal) in Chengdu, PRC, on 2011-04-21 (just under two years ago!). That date is of some importance, as both ETG and Governor Anefal have repeatedly stated that “ETG learned about Yap in March of 2011”… One (1) month earlier! According to the ETG “Yap Paradise Islands” project sales presentation, the first hotel complex, convention center, casino, and entertainment center were planned to be completed by 2013… (listen to audio here) Yes, that’s right: 2013! According to this “framework,” one of ETG’s major aims with the “project” is to “raise living standards of local residents of Yap”… Today (2013-03-12), according to a report published by FSM President Emanuel Mori, ETG has agreed to “scale back” their original ideas—4,000-10,000 hotel rooms, 8-15 golf courses, casinos, convention centers, water park, a China Town, a “Native Neighborhood” (not clear what this means), Condominiums, Timeshares, Luxury Villas, and much more—to “only” construct 1,500 hotel rooms—no casinos, no golf courses, no nothing... So far, so good? In Addition to Many Eyebrows, the Following Questions May Be Raised: Question 1: How can that presentation have been made after March of 2011? The presentation, as well as all that ETG has published (so far) about their plans, has a huge amount of detail of what ETG plans for Yap State! Even on a “fast track,” ETG must originally have planned to start the
