What's behind the numerous migration of Chinese Miao throughout 5000 years of history

By politicalwag.com | July 3, 2009

Who are the Miao?

As an ethnic group, the Miao people mainly live in China and southeast Asia. Over the past several thousand years, they have migrated numerous times throughout China, and these journeys are reflected in their unique handmade embroidery, silver jewelry, and batik artwork. Reasons for this movement varied a lot, but wars were the main cause.

The first big migration

Over 5,000 years ago, the Miao resided in the Yellow River and Yangtze River areas of central China. Their leader, Chi You, was a great warrior. Legend has it that he had a pair of horns projecting from his copper head, and his forehead was as strong as iron. Chi You is believed to create the criminal law in his clan, which was the first Chinese law.

Chi You led the Miao to victory over many tribes. They were so clever that they could make various kinds of weapons, like swords, arrows, and spears.

Chi you and his tribe were smashed in a big war against another powerful tribe. He was murdered, and his body and head were placed in two different sites. Miao stories say the first maple trees grew out of his blood.

Chi You was dead, however his soul and story even touched the heart of his opponents, who drew his picture on their flags to inspire their soldiers.Soon the Chinese emperors bestowed high praise on him and gave him the name " God of War".

In order to remember Chi You, today in Miao's holidays people would dress themselves with a big silver headdress adorned with silver horns and long. Also, a maple tree is considered to be a special totem among the Miao.

After Chi You’s death, some Miao tribes were captured and mixed into the Chinese Han nationality. But the majority of them had to discard their home and went to the south of China.

Continued movement

Throughout most of Chinese history, the Han nationality has been the most powerful and has generally dominated the whole country. Being an ethnic group, the Miao were persistently tormented and oppressed by the emperors and local officials. The Miao had to constantly migrate throughout China because of wars and persecution.

About 2,000 years ago, the Miao settled in the mountainous areas of south and southwestern China, where most Miao people live today. 

Then just over 700 years ago, some Miao people moved to the countries of southeast Asia, like Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar. Following the end of the Vietnam War in the 1970's, some Miao refugees immigrated to Europe, America, and Australia. Now about 280,000 Miao residents dwell in western countries.

Today

Despite widespread migration, the Miao have kept their unique culture and tradition alive to this day.

As the Miao don't have a written language, the art of embroidery is their unique way to remember their history. While enjoying their embroidery, you will find each embroidered piece means something that is about their history, culture, and belief.

C. Liu has been studying interesting Miao culture for a few years. From time to time she supports the work of some Miao artisans. Go to her website to learn more about Miao culture and see fine Miao silver jewelry here.

Courageous Farrah Fought Til the End

By politicalwag.com | July 3, 2009

Farrah Fawcett was definitely a force to be reckoned with when she hit the scene in 1976 in the famous television show, Charlie’s Angels. She was lean and shapely with a mass of blond waves that bounced behind her. She was the sexy poster girl in the wet red swimsuit that teenage boys proudly plastered to their bedroom walls. She was the lovely older woman who proudly painted in the nude for Playboy Magazine. She was a woman who embraced her femininity, who stood up for herself and for other women, and she was a woman that believed that there was always hope. However, on Thursday, June 25th, 2009, the strong willed flame of her life was finally extinguished. Later that same day, pop icon Michael Jackson died.  

 

What better way to celebrate the lives of such legacies like Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson than to play a little Farrah Fawcett trivia or Michael Jackson trivia? Find out the things that you didn’t know about the dearly departed actress. Surely, there is much more for you to learn about this angel than simply what you’ve seen on television.

 

Farrah Fawcett was born on the 2nd of February, 1947 in Corpus Christi, TX. Farrah’s stardom began when she attended the University of Texas and her photo was selected to appear in Cashbox Magazine. The photo was spotted by a publicist in Hollywood and she was encouraged to come to L.A.

 

Though her first appearances were in a wide variety of television commercials, Farrah’s face and beaming smile quickly earned her a guest spot on the popular show, I Dream of Jeannie. A short time later, Fawcett appeared in The Six Million Dollar Man with what would later be her former husband, Lee Majors.

 

The role that really pushed Fawcett into the spotlight, however, was that of Jill Munroe; one of the three “angels” in the hit TV show, Charlie’s Angels. At this point in her life, Farrah became known for not only her acting or her body, but also her hair. Millions of women around the world quickly adopted the bouncy layered look; hoping to gain some of the sexiness that oozed from Farrah in the process.

 

Farrah left Charlie’s Angels after the first year but later starred in the reality based made for TV movie, The Burning Bed as a horribly battered wife. The role landed Fawcett her very first Emmy. The actress held roles in several other movies and television shows. However, none quite captured audiences as much as this role.

 

In 2006, Fawcett was told that she had anal cancer. She began treatment immediately but the cancer returned and had metastasized to her liver. Though she never gave up hope, or the fight against this unyielding disease, Fawcett passed away with her close friend and long time companion by her side. She will be talked about in Farrah Fawcette trivia for years to come.

just can’t rely upon.

Second, does the person have an artisitic flair.  You might think what does this have to do with anything. I say plenty.  Of course I am biased considering my crew of painter San Diego are like artists.  Reason I say this is because you don’t want

Mobile Billboards and it’s benefits to your business

By politicalwag.com | July 3, 2009

First of all we need to define what mobile billboards are.  I am sure you are all familiar with traditional billboards.Well mobile billboards are the same thing except on wheels.But the primary difference is that it has a lot of benefits that traditional billboards don’t have.  I know this first hand from my experience running my own mobile Billboards San Diego company.

Mobile billboards are advertisements placed on either a trailer or it can be seen like what our company uses with truck advertising San Diego.  That is ads on sides of commercial trucks.

As mentioned above it has distinct advantages to the traditional outdoor media.  Those advantages are the very fact that it is mobile.With the typical billboard, the consumer usually drives right by the sign and not even take notice.While the mobile billboard is with the consumer right there in traffic. 

So rather than driving right by it, the mobile billboard drives right by the consumer.  This ad is boldly displayed right at eye level.This makes it pretty sure that the consumer’s attention will be caught, causing them to read the ad.

With so many advertising mediums becoming ineffective, this type of ad could be a tremendous benefit.  It allows your ad to have very high exposures to the consumers.Your ad has a higher likelihood of getting read because if a customer is in traffic, a nice catchy ad pretty much guarantees that you will get their attention.

This benefits your business greatly.If your goal is to help make more sales while branding your business in your ad campaign, this gets the job done.  Contrast that with advertising mediums such as TV or radio and you get more bang for your buck.  It is a medium that can’t be turned off or tuned out like TV or radio.  So your advertising dollar goes a long way especially with good mobile billboards rates.

So if you are in need of more creative advertising campaigns, mobile billboards may just be the trick.With all of the advertising clients that were satisified using my truck advertising, this has been the normal case time after time.

Billion Dollar Man, Paul McCartney, Turns 67

By politicalwag.com | July 3, 2009

There are few musical artists in the last century which have been as important as Paul McCartney. Popular music in the last fifty years can almost all be directly traced to the music created by Paul McCartney and his three band mates in the most famous pop band of all time, The Beatles. John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr completed the rest of the group. The music created by this band completely revolutionized the popular music industry, and is not only among the most influential, but also the most covered music that has ever been created.

Paul McCartney’s story starts in Liverpool in 1940. From humble beginnings in a poor, working class town, he has gone on to become the person who is generally considered to be the most successful musician of all time. He has sold over a hundred million singles, and has over 60 gold records. During those early years in Liverpool he met George Harrison in 1954, and a few years later he would meet John Lennon. Once these three began to play music together, history began to unfold in front of them.

In 1962 the band would take its legendary form after the firing of Pete Best and the hiring of Ringo Star. On October 5th, 1962, “Love Me Do” was released, and after that The Beatles quickly shot to international stardom to become the most successful band of all time.

Despite having written some of the most famous songs of all time with The Beatles and John Lennon, such as “Yesterday” “All you Need is Love”, and “ Hey Jude”, McCartney proved himself able to go on and have a vital and thriving solo career after the break-up of the band in the early seventies.

Although performing and writing music has remained an important part of Paul McCartney’s career in the last several years, but he has increasingly focused his attention on his political causes and a variety of causes. He has publicly promoted the vegetarian lifestyle for many years now and fights extremely hard for animal rights. One of the most common places to find Paul McCartney over the last several years has been playing at a variety of benefits and aid concerts to raise money for various international causes. His vast amount of star power has been one of the major contributing factors to many concerts and benefits being able to raise huge amounts of money for a wide variety of causes.

How to safely choose a midwife

By politicalwag.com | July 3, 2009

Pregnancy, what a wonderful time for a woman.Well, except for the sickness.  But beyond that, the expectation of a new baby coming is exciting.

Usually, for women in general, the question of how you are going to have the baby isn’t that big.Because for most women they will choose the standard procedure which is the medical procedure which means hospitals, doctors, and drugs.

But for some women, an alternative is available.That alternate way is going through a midwife and having the baby naturally.  And it is that alternative I am going to share from my experience as a San Diego midwife.

For people that don’t know, midwives are women who help natural deliveries without drugs.  This means usually no doctors.

Often times midwives in San Diego perform these services at homes.  Although, maybe all this is foreign to most people, it is a safe and regulated alternative way to deliver a baby.

The women, or midwives who practice this service are fully regulated.  They can come in the form of a licensed midwife or a certified midwife with a regulatory board overseeing them. 

Sometimes they can be a nurse, but it is not a requirement. 

This form of delivery is an option a lot of women choose and includes waterbirth in San Diego. Most of the time this choice is made by women who prefer not to have any drugs during delivery so that they can keep the new baby away from drugs.  Also it is for women who don’t want any invasive procedures such as episiotomys.

When you are making a big decision such as the method of delivering your baby, you want to make right decisions.With anything, you want to be sure you choose the right person.

As previously mentioned, it is a highly regulated industry. With that being the case, finding a good licensed or certified midwife is easy. 

All you are going to need to do is get the contact information for your state regulatory board that oversees midwifery and you can easily find out if there have been any complaints or issues with your prospective midwife.

With that simple step, you are able to determine if this is a quality midwife you can trust.  Obviously once you find that there are no complaints or reports against the midwife, you also want to check references. 

You will want to find that midwife whose client base only have high praises for them.  With something as intimate and important as a delivery following these few steps will help you find the right midwife for your delivery.

Maintaining your vehicle to save money

By politicalwag.com | July 2, 2009

In this economy we are in we need every possible way to save money.It won’t take a lot for you to see that a lot of Americans are having a hard time in this economy.  But instead of complaining about everything, we can find ways to save money.

So I would like to offer some perspective from a San Diego auto repair owner.Now you may say to yourself that there will be bias but hear the argument first.After your reading of this you are going to see that it is sensible and money will be saved.

One of methods of saving money is to try and keep our cars for longer periods of time. In the height of this boom economy when everybody was benefiting people would just trade their cars all over the place. They traded in the cars when they got old.So for the most part people just did not even think about having to maintain their car.

Well in the shape the economy is in, that is not a luxury for most people now.  Most people can’t afford to just go out and get a new car.  People have to keep their old ones.  What that means is they will have to maintain their cars.

One of the important maintenance things you can do is be sure you can pass a smog test.  Once your car gets older it is required by law.If you are unable to pass the smog check, that can be the start of expensive repairs.  I know this first hand running my smog test San Diego shop. 

There are things you can do to make sure your car passes the test.You can make an effort to keep your car tuned and maintained.  You can make sure to change the oil and oil filter.You can check to see that the muffler works good with no problems. 

This is the area where you may lose some money.  If you fail the smog test you could be in for a lot of money in repairs.So by ensuring that you follow these maintenance tips you will be able to save money.By putting in the time and effort in maintenance now will cause you to not have to spend on big repairs later.

Don’t forget that you have to maintain your brakes as well.  With my experience with our San Diego brake shop this is important as well. By being sure that you don’t have worn down brake pads can save your disc brakes.  Not maintaining it can lead to expensive repairs.Listen to these instructions and you should save money.

Surviving in this economy

By politicalwag.com | July 2, 2009

One of the things that most Americans are facing in this economy is the need for more money.  That is obvious.But in this economic state, the economy just makes matters worse.

What do I mean?  Well more people need more money.  But in this economy with businesses cutting back rather than increasing production, a person is more liable to lose money rather than make money.

Well what can somebody do to fight that?  One of the best ways to do it is to take advantage of all the network marketing opportunities out there.

If you aren’t familiar with network marketing, it is a home business opportunity where you sell things as an affiliate.But you aren’t only making money when you sell the product but you can also make money when other people sell the product under you.

The process of finding these people to sell under you is called MLM prospecting.  You go out and recruit people to join you and your company.  Anybody you find who does join is put under you where you can make some money off of what they do.

If you follow their plan you can sometimes not only make some extra money, but sometimes replace your income.Of course it won’t be easy.But anything most things where you can make some good money won’t be easy.There isn’t many get rich quick schemes out there.

So the next thing you need to do is find a list of the top network marketing companies.Choose one that interests you in terms of compensation and products.And really work hard.

You are going to have somebody called an upline when you join who will help you to get started.That is someone who has more experience and is there to help you.They also have a financial incentive in helping you succeed.

One of the best benefits is the start up cost.In this tough economy a lot of people won’t have the money to start most businesses which costs tens of thousands of dollars.A lot of network marketing businesses are less than $500 to start it.That includes the products you are going to sell.

So if you are in search for some ways to make it in this economy this could be the way.

Questionable Advertising Claims – How Much Do They Hurt Us?

By politicalwag.com | July 2, 2009

I recently saw a product for gum disease that had a testimonial that said, “My gums look better after one brushing”. That is total nonsense – sorry to say.

There is not a miracle cure that works after one application. I would RUN, not walk, away from any website that promises such nonsense.

As a matter of fact, when it comes to gum disease, there is not a single product that will work for everyone who tries it. Every body’s chemistry and ever body’s situation is different.

This is the same reason that makes medicine an art and not a science. here is no medication that works for everyone hands down. There are always exceptions.

Sometimes it requires products in combination to do the job. Or perhaps the right training and techniques are needed. At any rate, gum disease is not really a problem that is so easy to solve. Try OraMd as one possibility

I’ve studied this subject for a while due to the need to solve my own problem and now I study it because it interests me. The body is a complicated organism and what works for one may not work for another.

I’m definitely an advocate of products that I have personally found to be useful, such as an ozone generatorfor ozonating water. But there is also some basics that need to be understood about gum disease. You need to understand what you are fighting so that you can be sure that it doesn’t come back. You also need to be effective in what you are doing.

Sure you can throw a board over a broken window. But a bit more skill is needed to repair that window properly. Look to the links below for more information on what you can to do to stop gum disease and prevent it from coming back. Some products, like therabreath may have more value than others. Again, one size does NOT fit all.

Be advised this article is for information purposes only and does not intend to offer diagnosis or treatment advice. There is not a miracle cure that works after one application.
