Beijing: How to Pronounce. How to say Beijing correctly: the first syllable sounds like American "bay", and the second syllable is like the first syllable of "jingle": bay-jing. If you try to make it sound more foreign or exotic by pronouncing the "j" in Beijing as "z" in "seizure", such as "Beizhing" - that would be incorrect. The correct pronunciation of Beijing is "Bay-jing" with "j" pronounced as in plain Jane. How to Pronounce Beijing. Hear several versions of proper pronunciation of Beijing from Forvo.com. Note: People who pronounce 'Beijing' with a French 'j' sound are pronouncing it wrongly. The French 'j' sound does not occur in Chinese.

"City on Fire by Antony Dapiran, a lawyer and writer, offers a firsthand analysis and description of one of the 21st century's most significant struggles. China's authoritarian interference in Hong Kong was met by a unique and unprecedented popular uprising. This book provides a clear narrative and frontline perspective of a complex issue. It is the most comprehensive book about the Hong Kong protests from a professional observer." ~ Ai Weiwei.

● Thai town rallies behind Ake, coach who took boys into cave by Steve George, CNN, July 10, 2018. "From inside her modest home in Mae Sai, Kantawong recounts Ake's traumatic childhood and the death of his parents. 'His mother died while he was still very, very young and his father passed away when he was just 10,' she says. His brother, his only sibling, also died very young, says Kantawong ... As a result, Ake, like many orphaned children in Thailand, moved away from his childhood home of Mae Sai to become a Buddhist monk at a monastery in the nearby province of Lum Phun.
He remained in the care of the monastery for much of the next decade, only coming back to his hometown on occasion to see his grandmother ... Kantawong credits her [cousin] nephew's devout faith for his willingness to help others, pointing out that he did not eat for the first few days in the cave, and instead shared his food among the children ... Kantawong says that although Ake organizes and coaches several training sessions a week for the junior Wild Boars team, he receives only a small stipend. 'He's not motivated by money,' she says. 'He does it because he loves soccer and working with children.'"

Vietnam Veterans Reunite 53 Years After One Saved Another on Battlefield by Nick Gilbertson, Breitbart News Network, Nov. 11, 2021. Video, 4:59 min. "Dale Edge has always wondered about Fred Kjorlien, a man he saved one fateful day in Vietnam after an RPG left Kjorlien seriously injured, while the two were serving in the 1st Infantry division of the U.S. Army, according to the Jacksonville Journal-Courier ... 'Before the medics got there, I put a tourniquet on Fred's leg,' Edge recalled to the outlet. The last time the pair saw each other was when Fred was being taken onto a helicopter before he was transported for medical care, according to the Jacksonville Journal-Courier. 'I didn't know if he lived. I wanted to know if he made it or not,' Edge told KSDK (NBC-affiliated television station in St. Louis, Missouri, USA). Kjorlien lost his leg as a result of the RPG blast and now resides in Minnesota, working for a prosthetics manufacturer called Great Steps ... Kjorlien made the more than 560-mile drive from Minnesota to Edge's home in Ashland, Illinois, in August [2021], KSDK reports."
Vietnam War from History. "The Vietnam War pitted communist North Vietnam and the Viet Cong against South Vietnam and the United States. The war ended when U.S. forces withdrew in 1973 and Vietnam unified under Communist control two years later ... A team sent by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to report on conditions in South Vietnam advised a build-up of American military, economic and technical aid in order to help Diem confront the Viet Cong threat ... By 1962, the U.S. military presence in South Vietnam had reached some 9,000 troops, compared with fewer than 800 during the 1950s ...
In the United States, the effects of the Vietnam War would linger long after the last troops returned home in 1973. The nation spent more than $120 billion on the conflict in Vietnam from 1965-73; this massive spending led to widespread inflation, exacerbated by a worldwide oil crisis in 1973 and skyrocketing fuel prices ...
In 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was unveiled in Washington, D.C. On it were inscribed the names of 57,939 American men and women killed or missing in the war; later additions brought that total to 58,200."
Vietnam War from Wikipedia. "The Vietnam War, also known as the Second Indochina War, was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975. It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, China, and other communist allies; South Vietnam was supported by the United States, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, and other anti-communist allies. The war, considered a Cold War-era proxy war by some, lasted almost 20 years, with direct U.S. involvement ending in 1973 ..."

"On October 16, 1916, Clara filed for divorce. In 1919 she was granted the divorce and received the Curtis' photographic studio and all of his original camera negatives as her part of the settlement. Edward went with his daughter, Beth, to the studio and destroyed all of his original glass negatives, rather than have them become the property of his ex-wife, Clara."

Jeanette Corbiere Lavell offers graduates gift from Indigenous ancestors. York University Alumni, June 22, 2016. "Corbiere Lavell, an Anishnawbe community worker who was given an honourary doctorate of laws by York University, shared her insights - as well as her birthday, and the summer solstice - with graduating students and guests.
'It is an honour to be here today, on the traditional territory of the Mississagas of New Credit First Nation,' she said, noting her Anishnawbe name is Keewednanung or 'North Star' ...
In 1970, Corbiere Lavell married David Lavell, a non-Indigenous man, and because of their union she was stripped of her Indian status. Not long after their marriage, she challenged the law in Canada that removed her rights - the Indian Act - and though her suit lost, she remained committed to the cause and was the force behind the passing of BillC31, which reinstated the status of First Nations women and children.
In 1985, Bill C31 was passed, and the government removed this section of the Indian Act based on its discrimination against First Nations women and children, reinstating Indian status for hundreds of thousand native families."

"Jeannette Vivian Corbiere Lavell (called Keewednanung, 'North Star' in the Anishinaabe language), CM, activist, educator and community worker (born 21 June 1942 in Wikwemikong, ON). Corbiere Lavell, an Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) woman, was one of several Indigenous women who brought increased public awareness to the gendered discrimination that First Nations women faced because of status law, namely section 12(1)(b) of the Indian Act. Her efforts were central to revising patriarchal (male-dominated) aspects of Canadian legal code."
Jeannette Corbiere Lavell from Wikipedia. Born June 21, 1942, Jeannette is a Canadian and Anishinaabe community worker who focused on women's and children's rights. "She was born Jeannette Vivian Corbiere in Wikwemikong, Ontario to Adam and Rita Corbiere. Her mother, a school teacher, was a cofounder of the Wikwemikong 'Wiky' Powwow. Corbiere Lavell learned English from her mother and Ojibwe from her father. Corbiere Lavell attended business college in North Bay. After graduation, she worked for the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto as an executive secretary.

She also worked for the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto in many capacities, including social, court and youth worker. Later, while working for the Company of Young Canadians, she travelled across the country working with Native communities. In 1965, she was chosen as Indian Princess of Canada ...
Ms. Corbiere Lavell co-founded the Ontario Native Women's Association where she was vice-chairwoman from 1972 to 1973 and president from 1974 to 1975 ...
... in 1970, Jeannette married David Lavell, a non-Native journalism student. Within weeks of her marriage, she received a notice from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development stating that she was no longer considered an Indian ... In the end, Ms. Corbiere Lavell and her fellow activists succeeded in changing the law in Canada. In 1985 Parliament amended the Indian Act to remove the discriminatory clauses." ~ by Michael Erskine, Manitoulin Expositer, Apr 9, 2014.
