Two Ships Have Arrived in Vietnam to Evacuate Chinese Nationals
Those
who take cruising holidays, it seems, like to mix with their own;
Portuguese-, German- and Japanese-speaking ships are winning market
share. On one level, of course, this is understandable; there is a
natural tendency to flock together. Still, it is a little disheartening
when nationalities band together on holiday

Romania’s Hungarian minority, known as Szeklers, believe it’s their time for independence and for their proposed semi-autonomous state, Szeklerland.
A haiku by Ochi Etsujin in the early Edo Period (1603-1867), a disciple of the poet Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), reads: "Getting older/ I hide my graying hair/ From my parents." If parents notice that their children's hair is getting gray, it must make them feel disheartened.
The move could shake some investors' confidence in John Thain, Merrill's chief executive, who has repeatedly denied that the firm would need to raise more capital. A senior vice president at Ferguson Wellman Capital Management told Bloomberg News the announcement was "surprising and a little disheartening."
Indeed, for all its problems, few doubt Japan still commands formidable social, economic and financial reserves. Not least, the fortitude and determination shown by the people of Tohoku have offered an inspirational model for a discouraged nation.

Leading Scholar’s U-Turn on School Reform Shakes Up Debate
By SAM DILLON
The historian Diane Ravitch’s reversal on reform strategies, like standardized testing and charter schools, has angered critics and heartened admirers.
你們走在台灣街頭，會看到很多外籍新娘，外傭，假日她們會聚在某個地點，我常想，那個聚點構成人類學上的「飛地」（enclave），就是本國境內隸屬另一國的土地。在都市人類學裡，有時是指新移民形成的聚落。你知道飛地裡的女人故事嗎？
飛地是一種
人文地理概念，意指在某個地理區劃境內有一塊隸屬於他地的區域。根據地區與國家之間的相對關係，飛地又可以分為「外飛地」（Exclave）與「內飛地」（Enclave）兩種概念，其關係如下：
- 內飛地（enclave）：指某個國家境內有塊土地，其主權屬於另外一個國家，則該地區稱為此國家的內飛地，如兩德統一前東德境內的西柏林。
- 外飛地（exclave）：某國家擁有一塊與本國分離開來的領土，該領土被其他國家包圍，則該領土稱為某國的外飛地，例如亞塞拜然的外飛地納希契凡。
外飛地與內飛地雖然是相對的名詞，但互相之間卻不見得是可以互換的關係。如果與母國分離的孤立飛地是夾在兩個以上國家的邊境之間，那麼它雖然是個外飛地，但卻不是任何國家的內飛地。關於這種不能互換的關係，請參考附圖中的飛地型態二。
