藏独、地震与民族凝聚力

眼看着全国默哀日的首次全国默哀时间段就要到来了。首先，仅以最沉痛的哀思向遇难的全体同胞表达我们无尽的悼念之情，安息吧，你们的家人会感受到祖国和全体中华儿女的深切爱意，你们的家园会在祖国的帮助下重焕光彩，你们的遗孤将在中华民族的照料下茁壮成长，安息吧，我的同胞们！

你们的生命没有白白的消逝，你们的生命向全世界展示了一个全新的中华民族，一个东方巨龙的真正崛起！

从拉萨的314开始，一些人就说2008是中国的灾年，汶川的地震发生以后，更是对中国的未来做出担忧。可是这些人是否曾想过，祸兮福之所倚，虽然我们的代价是惨痛的，虽然拉萨的店铺遭到焚烧，虽然拉萨的军民遭到暴徒的袭击，虽然我们的圣火被迫熄灭，虽然地震夺走了数万同胞的生命，但是，这些惨痛的事实，却带给了中国最重要的财富！那就是我们几近消逝的社会责任感，我们的爱国心，我们的民族凝聚力！

以前，说道中国人，就是“一个中国人是一条龙，一群中国人是一群虫”或者“中国要是像日本韩国那样心齐，中国就会怎样怎样”，总而言之，所有人都在抱怨中国人的心散了，中国人的心不齐，中华民族失去了她的凝聚力！

可是，正如历史上无数次的天灾人祸一样，每逢危急关头，中国人向世人证明的是压倒一切的、奇迹般的民族凝聚力！抗日战争的时候是这样的，藏独分子大闹拉萨的时候是这样的，全球华人保护圣火的时候是这样的，中华儿女众志成城的抗击罕见大地震的时候也是这样的！只要民族大义当前，华夏儿女就有让这整个世界折服的力量！我们的名族凝聚力是无与伦比的！

中国的经济在高速的发展，中国的社会在不断的进步，可是社会风气前些时日似乎总是炎凉难测，民族心总是让人觉得消失殆尽。314事件和圣火事件，突然间给了整个中华民族找回民族心的机会，让全世界看到了、明了了中华儿女的心意！地震事件，更是让全世界看到了我们中华民族的凝聚力和随之所产生的强大力量！

天灾难防，爱心无数。值此华夏儿女团结一心之际，正是政府和中央抓紧时机之时，民心可用，强国强民之大事方可成！民心，是所有的政府想获得也难以获得，想用却难以驾驭的，真诚的祝愿我们的祖国化悲痛为力量，在妥善的解决了再去同胞的生活问题之后，在给全世界献上最优秀的奥运会之后，紧紧的依靠这股民族凝聚力、这股爱国的民族心，让我们的中华巨龙腾飞吧！

倘有一日，天灾再度祸害人世，若是人们都这样说，那我想这次遇难的中华儿女们，九泉之下也会含笑的。
“如果是中国发生这样的事情，肯定会动用大量的先进设备，用最快的速度和最大的力量挽回一切损失，拯救更多的生命”

Heaven In The World - Hawaii

Heaven In The World (Series One) - Hawaii Islands

Hawaii is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and in the middle of the Pacific Plate. In this map the major tectonic plates are each given a different color. The Pacific Plate is blue.

Hawaii is a unique archipelago (island chain) formed from a geologic 'hot spot' (see next section on Geology for details). It will always be changing over millions of years. Hawaii arises from the deep ocean floor of the North Pacific Ocean, right in the middle of the Pacific tectonic plate. Because of this, its mountain peaks are the highest on Earth - a total of close to 32,000 feet from bottom to top (rising from 18,000 feet below the surface of the ocean to about 14,000 feet above sea level). The Hawaiian island chain is composed of volcanoes in all stages - active erupting ones (sometimes making new acreage), dormant ones eroding away, and dead ones that may have subsided below the ocean. Hawaii is one of the most isolated of the islands on Earth - being over 3,000 miles from the closest continental land mass and 2,000 miles from the nearest island.

A Brief Overview of Hawaii Islands

Hawaii, the Aloha state, is comprised of a chain of 132 islands. We usually think of the eight main islands when we think of Hawaii. This is not surprising as the other 124 islands only total about 3 square miles in land area.

Hawaii is home of the world's most active volcano, the crater of Kilauea on Mauna Loa. Sandy beaches, towering volcanoes, and lush valleys lure thousands of tourists each year to this tropical paradise.

Hawaii is the most ethnically and racially diverse state of any state in the union, a mix that includes Caucasians, Americans of Japanese descent, and Polynesians, among others. Native Hawaiians have held on to many of their customs and traditions despite the influx of non-natives over the years. Hawaii is the only state that has an official native language. Statehood had been proposed many times throughout Hawaii's history, but it was not until 1959 that Hawaii became the 50th state of the United States.

Though Captain James Cook called the islands that he discovered in 1778 the Sandwich islands, this honor to the Earl of Sandwich would be short-lived. King Kamehameha I united the islands under his rule by 1819 as the Kingdom of Hawaii.

A couple of theories exist on the origin of the name Hawaii. One theory has it that the name comes from a combination of the words "Hawa" and "ii" and means a small or new homeland; "Hawa" meaning a traditional homeland and "ii" meaning small and raging. The other theory is that the name comes from the traditional discoverer of the islands, Hawaii Loa.

Hawaii's nickname:
The Aloha State: (Official Popular Name) This official "Popular Name" was designated in 1959 by the Legislature of the State. This was adopted in the same year in which Hawaii became a state.

The Pineapple State: Hawaii has also been referred to as "The Pineapple State" because of the pineapple industry and its impact on the state's economy.

Paradise of the Pacific: Anyone who has ever visited a secluded cove on one of the Hawaiian islands will understand why Hawaii is sometimes called the "Paradise of the Pacific." The natural beauty of the islands is well known.

The Youngest State: The last state to enter the union, Hawaii is sometimes referred to as "The Youngest State."

Hawaiian Island of Oahu Home to Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, Waikiki & the North Shore

From ancient stone heiau (Hawaiian temples) to 21st-Century high-rises, Oahu is an island of endless contrasts. Geographically only the third largest of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands, it is nonetheless home to nearly three-quarters of the state's 1.2 million residents 370,000 of whom are concentrated in urban Honolulu, the ultra-modern, south-coast cityscape kama'aina (residents) refer to simply as "Town."

But take a 45-minute drive to "Country" the famed surfing Mecca on the island's north shore and you'll find sleepy Hale'iwa town (pop. 2,225) existing much as it has since it was established by missionaries in 1832.

Geography Like the other islands, islets and shoals that make up the 1,600-mile Hawaiian Island chain, Oahu is believed to be the product of a single "hot spot" in the earth's mantle. Over the course of millions of years, the earth's crust drifted to the northwest across this hot spot, giving rise to each island.

Maui, Land of the Sun

The demi-god Maui is a household name from Tonga to the Society Islands, to the Marquesas to Hawaii. Something of a trickster, Maui had a place in his heart for mortals and is celebrated throughout the Pacific for such feats as giving fire to humans (after stealing it from its supernatural guardians) and fishing the islands of the Pacific from out of their watery depths.

So great is his renown, in fact, that Maui is the only deity in Polynesia to currently have a major island named after him.

Kauai, Land of beginnings

While Kauai's reputation as home to the wettest spot on Earth Mount Wai'ale'ale, averaging 485 inches of rain per year has lead to its popular designation as "The Garden Isle," the island has another, older name: "The Separate Kingdom."

In part this is because Kauai may have been the first of the Hawaiian Islands to be settled by Marquesan seafarers, somewhere around 750 A.D. Combined with its remoteness from the rest of the island chain, this may also have led to the belief that Kauai's royal bloodline was the purest in the Islands.

Big Island, Volcanoes and Kona coffee in the land of open spaces

Legend has it that two deities the volcano goddess Pele and the demi-god Kamapua'a (the latter of whom could control the weather) struck a deal to make the vast Big Island of Hawaii's west side so dry, and its east side so wet. The story's short version is that, after a battle, the pair divided the island in two, with Pele taking the western half and Kamapua'a, the eastern.

Even so, the island's weather isn't so cut-and-dried. Twelve distinct climate zones exist here, ranging from East Hawaii's tropical rain forests and Mauna Kea's frozen tundra to Ka'u's arid desert in the south.

The Quiet Isle of Molokai, Land of sanctuary

Once a pu'uhonua (place of refuge) for defeated warriors and those who had violated the strictures of the Hawaiian kapu system (that which is prohibited or sacred), Molokai has long been a land of special power. Like all such sanctuaries in Polynesia, Molokai was not protected by physical force, but by mana — that is, spiritual power.

That power is still palpable on Molokai, which is often referred to as the "Most Hawaiian Island" because it has the largest percentage of native Hawaiian residents in the state (excluding, that is, the privately owned island of Ni'ihau).

The Island of Lanai, Land of adventure

If you're looking for nightlife, Lanai may not be your best choice. Alternately known as Hawaii's "Most Secluded Island" and "The Pineapple Island" (it once hosted the world's largest pineapple plantation), Lanai is home to a mere 5,000 residents — the vast majority of whom live in the cool heights of Lanai City overlooking the vast, red-dirt fields below.

What Lanai lacks in discos it more than makes up for in outdoor adventure. Not far from Lanai City you'll find the Munro Trail, which climbs from the city's 1,600-foot elevation through stands of Norfolk pines (planted in the early 1900s by New Zealand naturalist George Munro) and up to the highest point on the island, Lanaihale ("house of Lanai"). From this point at 3,370 feet five other islands are visible on a clear day...

The Star-Spangled Banner

The Star-Spangled Banner

--The national anthem of United States

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

On Sept. 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key visited the British fleet in Chesapeake Bay to secure the release of Dr. William Beanes, who had been captured after the burning of Washington, DC. The release was secured, but Key was detained on ship overnight during the shelling of Fort McHenry, one of the forts defending Baltimore. In the morning, he was so delighted to see the American flag still flying over the fort that he began a poem to commemorate the occasion. First published under the title “Defense of Fort M'Henry,” the poem soon attained wide popularity as sung to the tune “To Anacreon in Heaven.” The origin of this tune is obscure, but it may have been written by John Stafford Smith, a British composer born in 1750. “The Star-Spangled Banner” was officially made the national anthem by Congress in 1931, although it already had been adopted as such by the army and the navy.
