ISBN: 978-1-69157-995-2 Created with Vellum During his years in power, Mao Zedong initiated three policies which could be described as radical departures from Soviet and Chinese Communist practice: the Hundred Flowers of 1956-1957, the Great Leap Forward 1958-1960, and the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976. Each was a disaster: the first for the intellectuals, the second for the people, the third for the Party, all three for the country. — RODERICK MACFARQUHAR, THE SECRET SPEECHES OF CHAIRMAN MAO In many ways, [Deng Xiaoping’s] reputation is underestimated: while Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev oversaw the peaceful end of Soviet communist rule and the dismembering of the Soviet empire, he had wanted to keep the Soviet Union in place and reform it. Instead it fell apart; communism lost power—and Russia endured a decade of instability […]. Perhaps the most influential political titan of the late 20th century, Deng succeeded in guiding China towards his vision where his fellow communist leaders failed. — SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE, TITANS OF HISTORY CONTENTS Introduction ix 1.

  • Shanghai, China Overview Introduction
    Shanghai, China Overview Introduction The name Shanghai still conjures images of romance, mystery and adventure, but for decades it was an austere backwater. After the success of Mao Zedong's communist revolution in 1949, the authorities clamped down hard on Shanghai, castigating China's second city for its prewar status as a playground of gangsters and colonial adventurers. And so it was. In its heyday, the 1920s and '30s, cosmopolitan Shanghai was a dynamic melting pot for people, ideas and money from all over the planet. Business boomed, fortunes were made, and everything seemed possible. It was a time of breakneck industrial progress, swaggering confidence and smoky jazz venues. Thanks to economic reforms implemented in the 1980s by Deng Xiaoping, Shanghai's commercial potential has reemerged and is flourishing again. Stand today on the historic Bund and look across the Huangpu River. The soaring 1,614-ft/492-m Shanghai World Financial Center tower looms over the ambitious skyline of the Pudong financial district. Alongside it are other key landmarks: the glittering, 88- story Jinmao Building; the rocket-shaped Oriental Pearl TV Tower; and the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The 128-story Shanghai Tower is the tallest building in China (and, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the second-tallest in the world). Glass-and-steel skyscrapers reach for the clouds, Mercedes sedans cruise the neon-lit streets, luxury- brand boutiques stock all the stylish trappings available in New York, and the restaurant, bar and clubbing scene pulsates with an energy all its own. Perhaps more than any other city in Asia, Shanghai has the confidence and sheer determination to forge a glittering future as one of the world's most important commercial centers.

Whether you use garden-fresh, frozen or canned ingredients, soups offer economy and nutrition. Theoretically, a soup can be any combination of vegetables, meat or fish cooked in a liquid. It may be thick, like gumbo; thin, such as consommé; smooth, like a bisque; or chunky like chowder or bouillabaisse. Though most soups are hot, some like vichyssoise and many fruit-based soups are served chilled. Soups are often garnished with flavor enhancers such as croutons, grated cheese or sour cream. • A bisque is a thick, rich soup usually consisting ham, shrimp and crab, and vegetables like of pureed seafood and cream.

  • Super ACRONYM 2 - Round 12
    Super ACRONYM 2 - Round 12 1. A grocery list seen in this show's opening sequence only lists three items: "milk; eggs; drugs." ​ On this show, various outlandish celebrity demands were presented by an effete personal assistant named Terrence Catheter, the grandson of Elmer Higgins. Most of this show was produced in Nevada to exploit an exception to a 1968 (*) crime control law. In a segment that has aged unbelievably ​ poorly, a teenaged character in this show becomes extremely excited upon seeing he has gotten an email. A British earl named Niles Standish, the Tracy Morgan-voiced Spoonie Luv, and the wildly offensive Special Ed all appeared on, for 10 points, what Comedy Central series in which puppets reenacted prank calls? ANSWER: Crank Yankers <Vopava> ​ ​ 2. Rafael Belliard was shoved away by a fellow coach during an argument following this event. The ​ day after this event, its central figure was given a free Corvette and tasked with presenting a lineup card. That figure of this event earned a lineup spot after a trade of Dontrelle Willis. Another man central to this game claimed "I kicked the shit out of it" (*) regarding his actions, which led to a ​ meaningless proclamation given by Jennifer Granholm. An over-the-shoulder catch by Austin Jackson began the ninth inning of this 2010 game, whose central figure covered first base on a Jason Donald ground ball fielded by Miguel Cabrera. Jim Joyce was despondent following, for 10 points, what game in which a blown call spoiled a rare feat by a Detroit Tigers pitcher? ANSWER: Armando Galarraga's near-perfect game (accept any answer describing both Armando ​ ​ ​ ​ (Antonio) Galarraga Barreto and a one-hitter or 28-out perfect game or imperfect game or blown call ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ or losing a perfect game in the 9th inning or similar; accept answers like Jim Joyce's blown call) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ <Nelson> 3.
