Miraclathurella gracilis Miraclathurella gracilis is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies. The length of the shell attains 28.5 mm, its diameter 7.5 mm. On the penult whorl there are sixteen axial ribs, crossed by five or six narrow spiral cords. On the body whorl there are about eighteen narrow, spiral cords, which are slightly enlarged where they cross the ribs and widely spaced in the peripheral region and above. Between them are many minute spirals and rather sharp axial striae. Fossils of this marine species were found in

John A. Harman John Alexander Harman (February 29, 1824 – July 19, 1874) was a Confederate States Army officer during the American Civil War, serving as quartermaster to Stonewall Jackson in his different commands. After the general's death, he continued as quartermaster of the Second Corps, sometimes also as acting chief quartermaster of the Army of Northern Virginia. Major Harman was well known for his efficiency as well as his profanity. Harman began his working life in the newspaper business, first at the "Staunton Spectator", later as editor of the "Lewisburg Observer". During the Mexican-American War, he abandoned the press,

John A. Harman

and fought as a member of Hays' Texas Rangers in Captain Gillespie's company. After the war, Harman entered the meat business, making a handsome living, marrying and buying an elegant home. He became a justice of the peace, and an officer in the Virginia militia. Although Augusta County was a Whig stronghold, Harman was an active Democrat, noted for his efforts in the struggle against the Know Nothings. During the 1860 election, Harman supported Stephen A. Douglas and the Northern Democratic Party, but after the election of Lincoln, he began to argue for cooperation with the seceded states. After the

John A. Harman

battle of Fort Sumter April 12–13, 1861, ex-governor Henry A. Wise approached Captain John D. Imboden of the Staunton Artillery, Virginia militia, then in Richmond, and proposed an preemptive strike directed at the United States Armory and Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. Wise and Imboden met with a number of militia officers at the Exchange Hotel, among them Turner Ashby and Harman. When Governor John Letcher refused to give his official approval of the action, the men decided to act on their own. Harman was sent to Staunton to raise volunteers to follow Imboden's battery to Harpers Ferry. When the Virginia

John A. Harman

convention passed the secession ordinance, Governor Letcher gave his blessing to the action, and Harpers Ferry was taken on April 18. Harman became Stonewall Jackson's quartermaster when the general took command at Harpers Ferry in the spring of 1861, and he was commissioned as Captain, Assistant Quartermaster, PACS. Harman was personally recruited by General Jackson for the post of quartermaster although he was by no means a willing recruit; at the beginning of the war he wanted to go back to his business, later he would have preferred to fight as a combat officer. Nevertheless, Stonewall persuaded Harman, and General

John A. Harman

Robert E. Lee appointed him. Soon he was promoted Major, Quartermaster, in Jackson's command. In spite of Jackson's appreciation of Harman's talents as supply and transport officer, the relationship between the two men was not smooth. Harman was critical observer of Jackson's tactical performance. After the battle of McDowell 1862, Harman wrote to his brother that, "We have been worsted by miss-management. I am more than ever satisfied of Jackson's incompetency." During Jackson's Valley Campaign, Harman received 48 hours leave because his children were sick with scarlet fever. When he came home to Staunton, he found two children dead and

John A. Harman

two seriously ill. Harman requested extension of his leave, but it was denied. When later one of the children died, he requested leave to attend the funeral, but it was again denied. A delicate cause of disagreement between the two men was Harman's habitual use of profanities. After Jackson's death, he served as Quartermaster to General Richard S. Ewell. Sometimes he also served as Acting Chief Quartermaster to General Lee. After the war, Harman again became active in civic affairs, participating in the Valley Railroad Convention, and becoming a delegate to the Conservative Party convention. He soon, however, abandoned his

John A. Harman

previous political convictions, becoming a Republican, and working for the emancipation of the African-Americans of Virginia. In 1869, he chaired the Republican Party in Augusta County; later turned down an appointment to serve on the Central Executive Committee of the Republican Party, but served in the Republican state convention in 1870. The administration rewarded his efforts with the postmastership of Staunton. Harman married his cousin Elizabeth Garber in 1849. They resided at Bellefonte 1 ½ mile outside Staunton, and had 13 children, of which five predeceased their parents. John A. Harman John Alexander Harman (February 29, 1824 – July 19,

Ross From Friends Ross From Friends is the stage name of British electronic music producer and DJ Felix Clary Weatherall (born 1993 or 1994), and two other members of his band. They are signed to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label, and released debut album "Family Portrait" in 2018, being noted as 'one to watch' by The Guardian. Weatherall was born and grew up in Brightlingsea, near Colchester, Essex, in a musical family. His father was a designer of electronic sound systems for live shows, and played "Hi-NRG and nascent techno music at squat parties". He began to make music under a

number of different names before settling on Ross From Friends in 2012. The name was chosed because a TV in the studio he was using had a DVD of "Friends" stuck inside it, and so would only play episodes of "Friends". Weatherall's first releases came on small UK electronic labels like Magicwire and Lobster Theremin. His 2015 release (Talk to me) You'll Understand was described by XLR8R as "a hazy lo-fi number with woozy synths and classy vocal samples." This breakthrough track has been listened to around 4 million times on YouTube. Mixmag published a joke article on April 1,

Mixmag described it as combining various electronic influences like "the vibrancy of hip hop, Japanese boogie, and house music". Weatherall rejects the use of the term 'lo-fi' for his music "because of the connotations of it." List compared the sound of "Family Portrait" to The Orb and Jamie XX. Pitchfork compared the sound negatively to Four Tet, Boards of Canada and Burial. Ross From Friends Ross From Friends is the stage name of British electronic

"Child of Mine" was released on Region 1 DVD in the United States on September 8, 2006, via Koch Vision, but remains unreleased on Region 2 DVD. London couple Tess and Alfie Palmer can not have their own children. They adopt two girls who are orphans from a Canadian, non-state-recognised placement agency. The mother of the children was murdered two years ago. Four-year-old Grace looks carefree, bright and fun-loving, whereas ten-year-old Heather is more depressed and serious. As time goes on,

Heather proves stubborn and even violent. But adoptive mother Tess does not despair, as her training as a child psychologist leads her to believe that Heather appears to have a secret. Therapy talks with a colleague bring no progress, so she decides on a daring venture - a return to the scene of the crime in the hope of getting Heather to talk. She now considers it a possibility that Heather could have murdered her own mother. Tess travels to Canada with Heather, and decides they should stay in the empty house of Heather's mother, which proves very uncomfortable for

Heather. Nevertheless, she begins to describe the scene with tears to Tess. During the subsequent short visit to the adoption agency, Heather recognises the culprit by means of a gesture. It is the owner of the agency, Alvin. Meanwhile, in an unattended moment, Tess rummages through a number of files. Astonishingly, each file consistently includes the note that the parent of the child being mediated is dead. Tess becomes suspicious. When the police sheriff arrives to interview him, Alvin shoots him dead. He also wants to eliminate Tess and Heather as witnesses. But Tess proves defensive, using the weapon used

to kill the sheriff to injure Alvin put him out of action, allowing her and Heather to escape. "Child of Mine" was principally filmed in the Canadian province of Alberta and London. Both the Lexicon of International Film and Prisma praised the convincing play by Hannah Lochner, commenting; "In addition to Joanne Whalley in the role of the new mother, Hannah Lochner in the role of Heather is especially convincing. With her expressive yet sensitive game, she steals the show off Whalley in every scene they perform together." Prism added; "Unobtrusive but solid staged crime drama, played convincingly especially in

Basilio J. Valdes Basilio J. Valdes (10 July 1892 – 26 January 1970) was a Filipino Doctor, General and Minister. Valdes was Chief of Staff of the Philippine Armed Forces from 1939 and in 1941 he was appointed Secretary of National Defense by President Manuel L. Quezon. After the Japanese invasion of the Philippines at the beginning of the Second World War, he was one of the members of Quezon's war cabinet in exile. Basilio Valdes was born on 10 July 1892 in San Miguel, Manila in the Captaincy General of the Philippines as the third child of a family

of four. His parentes were the Spaniard Filomena Pica and the mestizo Benito Valdes y Salvador, a doctor and former classmate of José Rizal in Madrid. His mother later died in 1897 after giving birth to the families fifth son after which the family led a wandering existence. Because of this, the young Valdes studied in many different schools. La Salle College, Barcelona (1897-1901); San Beda University, Manila (1901-1903); La Salle College, Hong Kong (1903-1904); the American School in Manila (1904); Pagsanjan High School (1905-1908); Manila High School (1908-1911); and on his father's intercession, he opted for a study of

medicine at Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, University of Santo Tomas (1911-1916) after completing his secondary school education. After graduating in 1916 he worked briefly as a lecturer, but with the ongoing First World War he left the same year to France and joined the French Army as medical volunteer. He worked in the military hospital as a surgeon for the French Red Cross. With the American entry into the war in 1917, he transferred to the U.S. Army and continued to work until 1919. In February that year, he was appointed a member of the Military Inter-Allied Commission to

Germany; made Chief of the Medical Service of the American Red Cross Commission to Germany and later made Deputy Commissioner of the American Red Cross in Europe. In this position he made studies of health conditions in Prague, Czechoslovakia and Kovno, Lithuania. After the war he ran a clinic in Manila and married Rosario Legarda Roces, whom he adopted a daughter with. In 1922 he was asked to join the Philippine Constabulary and revitalize their medical services, he joined and had by 1926 been promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and Chief Surgeon, serving as Medical Inspector from 1926 to 1934. Valdes

became Brigadier General and Chief of the Constabulary in 1934. He later took his oath of office as Deputy Chief of Staff of the Philippine Army on May 4, 1936 and with the retirement of Chief of Staff, General Paulino Santos, Valdes assumed this office by presidential appointment on January 1, 1939. With the growing threat of Japanese expansion during the 1930s, President Manuel L. Quezon established the Department of National Defense in November, 1939, which had executive authority over the Army. With the Attack on Pearl Harbor and Japanese invasion of the Philippines in December, 1941, President Quezon merged

Basilio J. Valdes

the departments of National Defense, Public Works, Communications and Labor into a single department and appointed Valdes as Secretary, December 23, 1941. As a member of the War Cabinet, he was tasked by General Douglas MacArthur to be in charge of the safety of, the by this time very sick, President Quezon and his family. They were all evacuated to Corregidor, then Australia and finally to the United States, creating the Commonwealth government-in-exile there. After the death of Quezon on August 1, 1944, Valdes continued to serve in President Sergio Osmeña's government with the same positions as before. When the

American troops invaded the occupied Philippines in the Second Philippine Campaign, Valdes returned together with Douglas MacArthur and President Osmeña in the landing on Red Beach, Leyte on October 20, 1944. Valdes finally reentered Manila on February 6, 1945 and was reunited with his family after three years of separation. Later the same month, the Commonwealth of the Philippines was reestablished and President Osmeña appointed Valdes as "ad interim" Secretary of Public Health and Welfare, officially taking the position on June 27, 1945. In this position he organized relief goods and medicine distributions from the U.S. Medical Corps to the

NGC 7213 NGC 7213 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Grus. It is located at a distance of circa 70 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 7213 is about 75,000 light years across. It was discovered by John Herschel on September 30, 1834. It is an active galaxy with characteristics between a type I Seyfert galaxy and LINER. The nucleus of NGC 7213 features activity and belongs to the low luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (LLAGN). The optical spectrum features broad H-alpha lines and has similar characteristics to a type I Seyfert

NGC 7213

galaxy, however it is considerably less luminous than other similar galaxies. It also features [Ne V] λ3426, He II λ4686, [O II] λ3726, 3729, 7319, 7330, [O III] λ4363, 4959, and 5007 emission lines. However the intensity ratios of many of these lines is similar to a LINER. Observed in radio waves, NGC 7213 looks like a point-like source that could feature two jets that bend between one 1 arcsec (150 pc) and 10 arcsec (1.5 kpc). It is categorised as a radio-intermediate galaxy, lying between radio-quiet and radio-loud sources. The source of activity in the AGNs is a supermassive

NGC 7213

black hole (SMBH) lying at the centre of the galaxy. The mass of the SMBH at the centre of NGC 7213 is estimated to be between and based on the mean velocity dispersion or (3-47) × 10 (10) based on the polarization of broad Hα emission. NGC 7213 has been found to be a low-luminosity X-ray source. The 2-10 keV spectrum of NGC 7213 resembles the spectrum of Seyfert I galaxies, but also contains significant emission lines from FeXXV and FeXXVI, which are observed in LINERs and are not present in most classical Seyfert galaxies. Also, the soft X-ray spectrum

NGC 7213

of NGC 7213 features collisionally ionized thermal plasma, one more characteristic of LINERs. In addition, there is no X-ray emission detected that can be attributed to an accretion disk. Observations by NuSTAR at 3-79 keV showed no evidence for a Compton-reflected continuum. The observations suggest that the accretion disc is truncated in the inner region, with the black hole being fed via radiative-inefficient accretion flows. The X-ray flux of NGC 7213 is fluctuating, presenting a sharp flare, larger than the others, in the 1980s with the flux reducing steadily after for more than 20 years. This flare showed a fast-rise-exponential-decay

NGC 7213

pattern and has been suggested to be caused by the tidal disruption of a main sequence star by the black hole at the centre of NGC 7213. Smaller scale flares are also observed. The emission variability is also observed in other wavelengths with a time lag. The lag is 24 ± 12 days for 8.4 GHz radio and 40 ± 13 days for the 4.8 GHz radio. Surrounding the nucleus is a ring of starfoming regions, lying at a radius of circa 20 arcseconds. Closer to the nucleus can be observed a dusty spiral pattern, with two arms, with the

northwest arm being on the near side of the galaxy, and the southeast one to the far side. The ionised gas inflow rate towards the nucleus is estimated to be 0.2 per year. Although NGC 7213 appears undisturbed in visible light, it shows signs of having undergone a collision or merger when viewed at longer wavelengths, with disturbed patterns of ionized hydrogen including a filament of gas around 64,000 light-years long, it self being part of a larger HI tidal tail southwest of the nucleus. NGC 7213 is the foremost galaxy in a galaxy group known as the NGC 7213

NGC 7213

group. Other members of the group include IC 5170, IC 5181, NGC 7232, and NGC 7233. A bit further away lies the NGC 7144 group, which includes NGC 7144, NGC 7145, NGC 7151, and NGC 7155. These galaxies group are part of the Pavo-Indus cloud and the Grus cloud, which lie between the Local Supercluster and Pavo-Indus Supercluster. NGC 7213 NGC 7213 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Grus. It is located at a distance of circa 70 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 7213 is about 75,000 light years across.

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan The Diaoyu Islands dispute, or the Senkaku Islands dispute, is a territorial dispute the non-inhabited islands known as the Diaoyu Islands in the Republic of China (ROC or Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (PRC), and the Senkaku Islands in Japan. Due to a potential huge amount of oil and gas reserves, and rich ocean resources around the islands’ exclusive economic zone, the dispute has never put an end ever since from 1895. Until now, three nations have not yet drawn a

conclusion on the sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. The Diaoyu Islands consisted five non-inhibited islets-- Uotsuri Shima (Diaoyu Dao), Taisho To (Chiwei Dao), Kuba Shima (Huangwei Yu), Kita Kojima (Bei Xiaodao), and Minami Kojima (Nan Xiaodao)-- and three barren rocks, which are Okinokita Iwa (Da Bei Xiaodao), Okinominami Iwa (Dan Nan Xiaodao), and Tobise (Fei Jiao Yen). The total area of the Diaoyu Islands were 6.5 square kilometer. Among all the islands, Uotsuri Shima was considered as the largest one, which is approximately 4.5 square kilometer. These islands lie in between Northern longitude 25.40 to 26 degrees, and Eastern longitude

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

from 123 to 124.34 degrees. For the relative location of the Diaoyu Islands, they are approximately 170 kilometers northwest from Ishigakijima Island, 170 kilometers northeast of the island of Taiwan, 330 kilometers southeast of continental China, and 410 kilometers west of the island of Okinawa. Thus, they are situated more or less in the center of the sea separating Japan, China, and Taiwan. These islands were also located on the Kuroshio (black current)'s northern flow, which causes the same seasonal monsoon with Taiwan. Since the Kuroshio and Oyashio interchange around these islands, it creates a gratitude scale of whirlpool (the

speed can reach to 7.2 hr/km), various organic matter (especially abound in Skipjack Tuna) rises from the underwater, making the area to a perfect fishery for Japan, China, and Taiwan’s fishermen. The Diaoyu Island is located on the edge of the coral reef layer of the East China sea. It is a volcanic island that spurts through the tertiary rock formations. It is a bulging part of the Dagu Mountain and Guanyin Mountains in northern Taiwan that extends into the seabed. The depth of the sea surrounding around the Diaoyu islands has not reached to 200 meters even, but the

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

depth of the Okinawa trough that locates in the east is as deep as 2,717 meters, forming a natural sea boundary with China and the Ryukyu islands. As the geological structure of the Ryukyu Islands belong to "oceanic crust", the Diaoyu Islands are "continental crust" that makes a significant difference in between those two. Also, the Diaoyu Islands has one of the largest scale of continental reef layer that contains an abundant amount of river deposits such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and is therefore potentially rich in oil. The Diaoyu islands are considerably much more strategic

in both military and economic value due to the position where they are located. First of all, they benefit the fishers as in the sea around the islands offers rich fishing grounds that include a large population of Bonito and more than hundred kinds of other fishes. In addition to that, they are lied to near potential oil reserves (about 100-160 billion barrels), and other energy resource such as manganese, cobait, nickel, and natural gas (hydrocarbon). Even, some medicine resource like Statice Arbuscula (for Chinese medicine use) can be found there. For strategic significance, it holds a value of sea-lane

security because of the rising competition between US and China for military primacy in the Asia-Pacific region. It secures the international trade and maintains the moral and legal ground for other countries’ claims over the land. Last but not least, the Diaoyu islands are close to important shipping lines, which contributes another help for a country’s economic. The Diaoyu Islands were first discovered, named and used by China. In the Southern Song Dynasty (1171), Wang Dayou, who originally guarded Fujian Province, had established a military camp in Penghu, and sent his troops to control them. Taiwan and its affiliated islands,

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

including the Diaoyu Islands, Liu Dao, and Lan Yu, were all under the jurisdiction of Penghu and administered by the Province that Wang Dayou ruled. Among all the documents that mentioned about the Diaoyu Islands, the earliest written record was existed in a book called "The Winds of the Winds" in 1403. Later in the 14th century, Ming and Qing dynasties’ emperor sent their ambassadors in order to assure the geographical location of the Diaoyu Islands. According to the historical document written at that certain period, the earliest record was in the 13th year of Ming Jiajing (1534). During the

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Jiajing Period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded China’s southeast coast of China frequently. China was forced to implement effective jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands and other islands and patrolled the sea. In the 40th year of Ming Jiajing (1561), Zheng Ruozeng’s "Wanli Coastal Defense Map" included the Diaoyu Islands and eventually recognized these islands as a part of their coastal defense system. In the Qing Dynasty’s royal history inspection report of Taiwan and local compilation of the Fujian Province, they claimed Taiwan was officially ruled under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty in the 22nd year of Kangxi

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

(1683), and the Diaoyu Islands were considered as the subsidiary islands of Taiwan. In the 10th year of Tongzhi (1871), the Annals of Fujian Prefecture (Fu Jian Fu Zhi) emphasized the authority of the Diaoyu islands, and later on listed the Diaoyu islands were supposed to be under the jurisdiction of Gumalan (current Yilan district)-- local government of Taiwan. Based on the official historical documents, such as A Tour of Duty in the Taiwan Strait (Tai Hai Shi Cha Lu) and Annals of Taiwan Prefecture (Tai Wan Fu Zhi), and the continuous proclamation of the Qing Dynasty, the Diaoyu islands

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

were determined to be a part of Taiwan and was subject to its jurisdiction. The Diaoyu Islands did not only act as the location of coastal security, they were classified as the administrative division of Taiwan, which also fully demonstrates China's effective jurisdiction during Ming and Qing’s dynasty. The historical facts above fully prove that the Diaoyu Islands was a territory of China and an island of Taiwan, and did not belong to Ryukyu. This fact, before 1884, Japan and the Ryukyu officials had admitted. However, until 1885, the situation began to change: Japan deliberately tried to seize the Diaoyu

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Islands. In the early 1895 while Japan and China were fighting the First Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese central government annexed the Diaoyu Islands. On the same year of April 17th, the Qing Minister Li Hongzhang and the Japanese Prime Minister Itō Hirobumi signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" in Chunfan Building. In the Article 2 of the Treaty, it mentioned that China would cede its sovereignty of "the whole island of Taiwan and all its affiliated islands" and the Penghu Islands to Japan. Although the treaty clearly defined the scope of the Penghu Islands by latitude and longitude, the scope of

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Taiwan had not been determined. By June 3rd, 1895, when China officially ceded Taiwan to Japan, Japan government did not enumerate the affiliated islands of Taiwan. Around 1900, Koga Tatsushiro, an entrepreneur from Japan, established a bonito fish processing plant on the islands. Nevertheless, the islands remained deserted ever since his business failed in 1940. In the 1970s, the son of Koga Tatsushirō and his wife Hanako sold four islets to the Kurihara family of Saitama Prefecture. After Japan surrendered and ended World War II, the Diaoyu Islands went under United States government occupation in 1945. In the "Japanese Instrument

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

of Surrender", Japan only hold the sovereignty over the four main islands. In 1969, the United Nations Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East (ECAFE) identified potential oil and gas reserves around the Diaoyu Islands. In 1972, the "Okinawa Reversion Treaty" passed the U.S. Senate “accidentally”, which resulted to return these islands back to Japanese control. At the same time, the Republic of China (Taiwan) government and People's Republic of China government started declaring the ownership of the Diaoyu islands. The Chinese government has consistently claimed that the Diaoyu Islands are the territory of China and used the historical

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

facts above as evidence. In fact, in the fifteenth century, international law was not yet born. It is difficult for people to judge the behavior at that time without the existence of legal principles. However, based on the international law nowadays: According to the facts recorded in the historical documents, China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands was based on its discovery, naming, use, and then effective enforcement. The Diaoyu Islands were not non-ownership land in 1885. They are considered as the affiliated islands that belong under the jurisdiction of Taiwan (specifically Gumalan district). From the 18th to the 19th century,

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

the maps of China and foreign countries also stated the Diaoyu Islands were Chinese territory. Therefore, the claim of Japan that sovereignty is based on "preemption" in international law is not established in this case. The preoccupied object must be "terra nullius". But, for more than three hundred years before 1895, the Diaoyu Islands were Taiwan’s islands and not a part of the Ryukyu islands. There are actual documents that bound on Japan to international law: the "Cairo Declaration", the "Potsdam Proclamation", the "Japanese Instrument of Surrender", and the "Sino-Japanese Peace Treaty". The ""Cairo Declaration"" signed in November 1943 has

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

clearly stated:“It is their purpose that Japan shall be stripped of all the islands in the Pacific which she has seized or occupied since the beginning of the first World War in 1914, and that all the territories Japan has stolen from the Chinese, such as Manchuria, Formosa, and The Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China. Japan will also be expelled from all other territories which she has taken by violence and greed.”The Article 8 of ""Potsdam Proclamation"" has mentioned:"The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out and Japanese sovereignty shall be limited to the

islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu", Shikoku and such minor islands as we determine."In Articles 6 of the ""Japan Instrument of Surrender"," Japan were forced to accept terms in the Potsdam Proclamation:“We hereby undertake for the Emperor, the Japanese Government and their successors to carry out the provisions of the Potsdam Declaration in good faith, and to issue whatever orders and take whatever actions may be required by the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers or by any other designated representative of the Allied Powers for the purpose of giving effect to that Declaration.”In Article 2 and 3 of the ""Sino-Japanese

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Peace Treaty (Treaty of Taipei)"" signed between China and Japan in Taipei in 1952, Japan gave up its sovereignty over Taiwan and Penghu:“It is recognised that under Article 2 of the Treaty of Peace which Japan signed at the city of San Francisco on 8 September 1951 (hereinafter referred to as the San Francisco Treaty), Japan has renounced all right, title, and claim to Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) as well as the Spratley Islands and the Paracel Islands.” “The disposition of property of Japan and its nationals in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores), and their claims, including

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

debts, against the authorities of the Republic of China in Taiwan (Formosa) and Penghu (the Pescadores) and the residents thereof, and the disposition in Japan of property of such authorities and residents and their claims, including debts, against Japan and its nationals, shall be the subject of special arrangements between the Government of the Republic of China and the Government of Japan. The terms nationals and residents include juridical persons.” In international law, there is a concept of "intertemporal law." That is, for ancient international events, the law of "at the time" should be used to judge its effectiveness, rather

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

than applying "current" law. In result, when a dispute occurs or International law at the time of the trial. In this connection, according to the international law that passed through Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Republic of China should hold the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands. According to the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they stated that the Diaoyu Islands are a part of Japan due to their historical facts. The following points are given by them to prove their belief of non existence issue of territorial sovereignty to be resolved concerning the Diaoyu Islands: In 2012, one

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

the former House of Representatives in the Diet, Osamu Fujima, announced that Japan will named the “thirty-nine” uninhabited islands (including the ones around the Daioyu Islands), which later caused China protest about it. However, they still insisted doing it and refuse the proposal of sharing the resources together equally presented by Taiwan and China. Until now, they keep sending water police and shipments over time in order to protect their ownership and increase the ocean security around the islands. After 1949, due to the sovereignty dispute between the Government of the Republic of China and the Government of the People’s

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Republic of China, the diplomatic relations between the Republic of China and Japan, and the Japan-China Joint Communique, the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China never united and advocate the Diaoyu Islands together. They depended on their respective diplomacy and delivered actions individually. Nonetheless, both of them claimed the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands through the evidence of their history, jurisprudence, and geography. The People’s Republic of China thought that Japan has illegally occupied the islands after the Sino-Japanese War and should not be recognized. After the end of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Party, the governments on both sides were somehow limited by the recovery. Although China believed the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands were theirs, the suppression of the United States and Japan had hesitated them to fight the right to rule over the islands back. In 2000, with an increase of its national strength, China started officially and actively declaring the sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. While the Japan-China Joint Communique happened in 2012, the government of China sent marine security vessels around the islands to assert “their” sovereignty. And, two years ago, in order to strengthen the control of the

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Diaoyu Islands and its surrounding water, except the regularly patrols, China also showed its power of managing the land. At the same year In August, 15 Chinese marine security vessels and more than 200 Chinese fishing boats appeared on the ocean near the Diaoyu Islands. The Chinese marine police carried out protection, management and law enforcement on these fishing boats, which eventually led to the protest from the Japanese government. After the US State Department returned the Diaoyu Islands to Japan with Ryukyu in 1972, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan issued a solemn statement, stating that the Diaoyu

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

Islands are affiliated to Taiwan. Taiwan firmly opposed the action of U.S. “returning” the Ryukyu Islands and the Diaoyu Islands. According to geographical location, geological structure, historical links and the long-term continued use of Taiwan residents, Taiwanese government believe they are a part of the territory of the Republic of China. Ever since from then, Taiwan has always been protesting the sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands. Since the first official fishery meeting between Taiwan and Japan in August 1996, over the past ten years, sixteen meetings have been conducted on fishery disputes over overlapping economic sea areas. The government even

The Conflict Over the Sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands -- between Taiwan (ROC), China (PRC), & Japan

established the "The Diaoyu Islands Case Working Group" to protect their jurisdiction of the Diaoyu Islands. Their main goals are: On July 26, 2010, Taiwanese Ministry of the Interior stated that no matter it is the investigation and construction of the surrounding sea area, the revision and research of the exclusive economic zone, or the investigation of the island reef and the mapping process, the Government adheres to the basic principle of "sovereignty is ours, never give in."

In the spring of 1944, following a tipoff, the Germans confiscated a machine for sewing shoes, belonging to the Soldini family. The machine was redeemed a few days later by Gustavo Soldini. Thanks to that machine, in 1945, Gustavo, together with his brothers Giuseppe and Ermenegildo began making shoes, first in a small area of their home and then in their first workshop. The market of reference was initially Arezzo and Florence, while the deliveries were made by bicycle during the weekend. In

the 1950s Soldini opened his first factory in Capolona, on the banks of the River Arno, and then a second factory in Anghiari which marked the shift in production from small business to industry, with a workforce of over 800. The product was orientated towards the national marketplace, but also to the United States. To meet demand, another factory was opened in Malta, which carried on working until 2000. In the 1980s, the United States market saw the development of competition with South American manufacturers, especially in Brazil; in the 1990s, competition grew further with the arrival of emerging Asian

countries such as China and Vietnam. To deal with the economic slump the company introduced new brands, including Stone Haven and Soldini Sport, choosing to focus on innovation. Following a fire that completely destroyed the plant in Anghiari on the night of 13-14th April 1994, Gustavo Soldini left control of the company to his son, Rossano Soldini, who became director in 1998, proceeding to make investments, innovations and differentiations of the distribution channels. From 2003 to 2007 Rossano Soldini held the role of President of the Assocalzaturifici, the National Association of Italian Footwear Manufacturers . In this role, he asked
