  • Kathleen Hall: Dr. Bethune's Angel by TOM NEWNHAM
    Kathleen Hall: Dr. Bethune's Angel By TOM NEWNHAM (This article appeared in China Today in 1997) GENERAL "Vinegar'' Joe Stilwell was the top U.S. military man in China during World War II. He once stated that North China, where Japanese forces numbering about two million were held up for eight years, was the pivotal theater in the Pacific War. I am sure he was right, and that this fact played a major part in saving Australia and my country, New Zealand, from invasion by the Japanese. It was the Communist 8th Route Army, led by Mao Zedong, which bore the brunt of the fighting from its base in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Area. This is the Wutai Mountain Area, where the provinces of Hebei, Shanxi, and the former province of Chahar met. Mao appointed a Canadian, Dr. Norman Bethune, to be in charge of medical services. Bethune had to start virtually from scratch at a time when the region was totally surrounded by the Japanese. He learned that a New Zealand missionary nurse, along with two Chinese nurses, was running a tiny cottage hospital in "no-man's land'' on the edge of Japanese-held territory. He decided to ask for her help. That night Bethune wrote in his diary, "I have met an angel...Kathleen Hall, of the Anglican Church Mission here...She will go to Peking, buy up medical supplies, and bring them back to her mission...for us! If she isn't an angel, what does the word mean?'' During the event, Kathleen made numerous trips to Beijing and brought back great quantities of supplies, first by train to Baoding and Dingzhou, and then by mule trains into the mountains.

  • Evaluation of Total Flavonoid Content and Analysis of Related EST-SSR in Chinese Peanut Germplasm

In this study, total flavonoid contents (TFC) were determined in seeds of 57 peanut accessions from the province of Hebei, China. A variation of 0.39 to 4.53 mg RT -1g FW was found, and eight germplasm samples containing more than 3.5 mg RT g-1 FW. The TFC of seed embryos ranged from 0.14 to 0.77mg RT g-1 FW. With a view to breeding high-quality peanut varieties with high yields and high TFC, we analyzed the correlations between TFC and plant and pod characteristics. The results of correlation analysis indicated that TFC was significantly negatively correlated with pod number per plant (P/P) and soluble protein content (SPC). We used 251 pairs of expressed sequence tag - simple sequence repeat (EST-SSRs) primers to sequence all germplasm samples and found four EST-SSR markers that were significantly related to TFC. Key words: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), flavonoid, germplasm, EST-SSR, cor- relation analysis. INTRODUCTION Flavonoids are secondary metabolites contained in a wide variety of plants, and their pharmacological effects include anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-cancer, immunity-promoting, and obesity-preventing effects (Shao et al.

D I have worked with most of the materials from which these prod- ucts are made, but the most challenging and rewarding has been ceramics. Sophisticated manufacturing has all but replaced the artisanal approach which defined their history, yet this exposure to modern ceramics production has given me a unique appreciation for the history of the ceramic art and the lengthy trial-and-error evolution which produced some of the most remark- able ceramics the world has ever seen. It all developed in China. The large body of extraordinarily beautiful and complex ceramics created over many millennia in China is ample proof of China’s pre-eminence in world ceram- ics. My understanding of that miraculous achievement, coupled with my experience in modern manufacturing techniques, inspired me to learn more about the early Chinese potters and their craft. My enthusiasm for collecting soon deepened into an even more passionate inquiry. Early in my collecting days I recognized that a wide-ranging collection of beautiful pieces from many categories would not be as rewarding as a collection created by a disciplined strategy of identifying a few specific categories and buying in depth within those categories.
