Last time we spoke about the Nanchang and Autumn Harvest Uprisings. On August 1st, during the Nanchang Uprising, the CCP's 2nd Front Army inflicted heavy casualties and seized substantial weaponry. Reorganized under He Long and Ye Ting, the army, then 20,000 strong, celebrated in Nanchang, attracting new recruits. However, faced with an imminent counterattack, they retreated south in what became known as the "little long march." Despite initial successes, like capturing Huichang County, internal strife and harsh conditions reduced their numbers significantly. By the end of August, they reached Guangdong, but relentless opposition from Nationalist forces led to severe losses. The remaining forces retreated east, encountering brutal battles and a final, devastating defeat. Scattered, the remnants sought refuge and eventually regrouped, with leaders like Zhou Enlai and He Long navigating exile and adversity. The uprising marked the CCP's first armed resistance against the KMT, a prelude to continued revolutionary efforts, notably the Autumn Harvest Uprising, amid widespread, strategic shifts in CCP policy and leadership, including Mao Zedong's influential role.   #120 The Guangzhou, Gansu and Red Spear Uprisings Welcome to the Fall and Rise of China Podcast, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

Last we left off the Nanchang and Autumn Harvest uprisings saw mixed to….lets be honest kind of lackluster results. Both certainly saw their hardships for the passionate people involved. Countless gave their lives for a cause they truly believed in. This was China's warlord era, so many differing groups made grand promises for bright futures, such as warlords, the KMT and of course the CCP. The CCP having undergone the White Terror, now sought to unleash their own independent revolution, now released by the shackles of the KMT.  On the 7th the CCP Central Committee held an emergency meeting, where Chen Duxiu was criticized for his appeasement of the KMT right wing. It was also during this meeting, the CCP formalized how they would go about implementing a land revolution and armed uprisings. The CCP then received strong suggestions from Joseph Stalin, that they should unleash a major uprising to seize control over a province, hinting at performing such a deed in Guangzhou in the hopes of taking Guangdong. In accordance the head of the CCP Qu Qiubai decided they needed to persuade soldiers to their cause to perform such a thing. Many within the CCP leadership did not support such plans, deeming the chance of winning control over a province to be highly unlikely, but their Soviet advisors were strongly pushing for it.   On the 20th Zhang Tailei, the secretary of the Guangdong CCP provincial committee, discussed plans for a provincial wide uprising. They would mobilize the workers and peasants to hold riots in key locations within Guangdong, particularly Guangzhou. The ultimate plan was to seize Guangdong by establishing uprising committees in Beijiang, Xijiang and Guangzhou. In early October the Nanchang uprising suffered tremendous losses at Chao'an and Shantou. This setback changed the minds of those seeking to seize all of Guangdong and instead they directed their efforts to mobilizing workers in Guangzhou to carry out political and economic struggles. On November 17th within Guangdong and Guangxi, petty warlords began a little war. This was between the KMT aligned warlords Zhang Fakui and Li Jishen. The CCP Central Committee believed this little war was a major opportunity and jumped to exploit it.  Zhang Fakui was vulnerable in particular. He was colluding with Wang Jingwei at the time, his primary job was to eliminate the pervading influence of the CCP in the Guangzhou area. Zhang Fakui's troops continuously rounded up suspected communists and kept a close eye on the Soviet consulate at all times. Zhang Fakui's troops were more or less brutalizing the common people, not a tasteful job by any means and one that demoralized them. It was because of this the CCP knew they might be able to win over some of his troops to their side. The CCP played upon the low standard of living and economic instability of warlord era China, hoping to appeal to the masses for a Soviet communist style system rather than what the KMT proposed. Here is a taste of some of the slogans they wrote on placards and proclaimed in major city centers: Raise the Soldiers' Pay to 20 Silver Dollars! Food for the Workers! Land to the Tillers! Knock Down the KMT and the Warlords! Kill All the Country Bullies and the Evil Landlords! Confiscate the Capitalists' Homes and Give Them to the Rebel Masses! All Authority to the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers! They passed the “resolution of the Guangdong work plan”, this would require the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee to expand some riots using workers and peasants within the cities and villages; incite soldiers to mutiny and resist the war and hopefully direct all said into a general riot to seize power. They would first begin by mobilizing farmers to refuse to pay winter rent and riot if they could. On November 26th, Zhang Tailei went to Guangzhou from Hong Kong covertly and convened a secret meeting with CPP members there. During these meetings it was decided they would take advantage of Zhang Fakui troops, who were currently very demoralized from fighting battles they honestly wanted nothing to do with. Within Guangzhou was the 4th army teaching corps and part of the guards corps amongst smaller CCP militia groups. Zhang Tailei would act as chairman, Huang Ping and Zhou Wenyong would all lead the uprising. After the meeting Zhang Tailei and the others went to the Teaching Corps and Guards Corps to mobilize them, as well as begin training some worker Red Guards who formed into 7 regiments and 2 death squads with Zhou Wengyong as their commander in chief. The Fourth army teaching corps was reorganized from a KMT political school with Ye Jianying as their leader. In early December, Comintern agent Heinz Neumann arrived in Guangdong, to add the uprising. Its said he had a large influence on the committee and took a leading role in what happened. Ye Jianying formed a communist infiltrated cadet regiment roughly 1200 men strong, that would form the core of their army. Added to this was an ad-hoc Red Guard of about 2000 armed workers. On December 6th the Guangdong Provincial Committee chaired by Zhang Tailei approved a declaration and letter to the people as well as made arrangements for the establishment of a Soviet government in Guangzhou. They had decided to enact the uprising on December 12th. In the meantime the headquarters and staff for the uprising were established, Ye Ting would be commander in chief and Ye Jianying would be his deputy. On the eve of the uprising, Wang Jingwei and Zhang Fakui both became aware of the impending uprising so they immediately began disbanding the teaching units, imposed martial law in Guangzhou and transferred their main forces back to Guangzhou. The CCP found out the jig was up so they unleashed the uprising ahead of schedule on the morning of the 11th.  At 3:30am under the leadership of Zhang Tailei, Ye Ting, Huang Ping, Zhou Wenyong, Ye Jianying and Yang Yin, the entire teaching regiment, part of the guard regiment and the armed worker Red Guards totaling about 5000 people, 2000 of which were the Red Guards, launched a surprise attack upon key points in Guangzhou from several directions. Some Soviets, Koreans and Vietnamese in Guangzhou also were said to participate in the uprising. I read that last one from a single source and I kinda doubt it. In fact evidence suggests the CCP leadership was extremely mixed on this uprising. Commanders Ye Ting, Ye Jiangying and Xu Xiangqian strongly suggested against going through with it, arguing they were too badly armed to have any success, only 2000 of them even had rifles. The CCP began by first seducing troops of Zhang Fakui. The first units to enter the city were the infamous dare-to-die units. As the name suggests, these men were like a suicidal vanguard stormed police stations, seizing their weapons and cars. They also took control over city buses and trucks to spread the incoming Red army units throughout the city as fast as possible. Along the eastern route, under the direct command of Ye Ting the main force quickly defeated an infantry regiment stationed in Shahe, capturing 600 prisoners, numerous small firearms and eliminated an artillery regiment stationed at Yantang. On the middle route, part of the teaching regiment and Red Guards captured the KMT Guangdong Provincial government building sitting on the commanding heights of Guangyin Mountain, known today as Yuexiu Mountain. On the southern route, the 3rd battalion of the Guards regiment and Red Guards attacked the headquarters of the 4th army and their arsenal, but encountered stiff resistance and were unable to capture them. Meanwhile peasants in Fangcun, Xicun and suburbs of Guangzhou launched uprisings with some gaining urban worker cooperation. Within 4 hours of battle the uprising was providing results, excluding the headquarters of the 4th army. The armory, rear office of the 12th division of the 4th army, the police forces and urban area north of the Pearl River was secured. They took control over government buildings, the central bank which at that time had a very large silver reserve and numerous barracks. To suppress any resistance they began grabbing KMT troops who refused to comply and executed them in the streets. They also marked and burnt down the residences of KMT officials. They had eliminated numerous enemies and captured 20 artillery pieces and 1000 small arms. That same day members the new Soviet government of Guangzhou was formed with Su Zhaozheng becoming its chairman. Upon its establishment the Guangzhou Soviet declared a “letter to the people” with decrees.  Meanwhile during the outbreak of hostilities, Chen Gongbo, the chairman of the KMT Guangdong provincial government, Zhang Fakui, Huang Qixiang the commander of the 4th Army and other KMT officials hastily fled to the headquarters of Li Fulin's 5th army stationed over at the Haizhong temple on the south bank of the pearl river. There they ordered the 12th division, the 78th rgiment of the 26th division, the 25th division in Dongjiang and the 1st and 2nd regiment of the 1st training division in Shunde to march upon Gaungzhou. This saw roughly 15,000 NRA troops converging upon the city. On the 12th more than 3 of Zhang Fakui's divisions and part of Li Fulin's 5th army assembled along the south bank of the pearl river with the support of British, American, French and Japanese warships and marines. They prepared a counterattack from the east, west and south. The communists fought desperately against much superior forces in terms of numbers, training and equipment. They suffered heavy losses, including the death of Zhang Tailei. Zhang Fakui's troops arrived one after another gradually surrounding the city. At a critical moment the CCP leadership called for a retreat from the city to preserve the forces they had left. The surviving 1000 Reds fled Guangzhou in the early hours of the 13th whereupon they were reorganized into the 4th Red division. They fled to Huaxian, then Haifeng and Lufegen counties where they joined others performing uprisings in the Dongjiang and Youjiang areas. A few survivors went to Shaoguan, joining survivors of the Nanchang uprising led by Zhu De and Chen Yi. After the KMT secured Guangzhou they carried out a bloody suppression of anyone suspecting of being a communist or sympathetic to the cause. The CCP estimated that perhaps more than 5700 people were killed. The Soviet consulate in Guangzhou was also attacked around 8pm on the 13th. All of its personnel were arrested and according to the testimony of Soviet Consul Pokhvalinsky, diplomats Ukolov and Ivanov “Each of them had a sign tied to their body that read: ‘Russian Communist, anyone can punish him at will.' … Along the way, people threw things at them, hit them, stabbed them with knives, and spit on them.” They both would later be shot, alongside the deputy consul named Hasis. Ye Ting, was scapegoated, purged and blamed for the failure of the Guangzhou uprising, despite the fact he was one of the commanders arguing it should have been called off in the first place. Enraged by how he was treated, Ye Ting fled China and went into exile in Europe. Although the Nanchang, Autumn Harvest and Guangzhou uprisings had all failed to achieve their primary objectives, they did kindle a fire within China. Rather then become demoralized and whither away, the communists pushed even more uprisings and would grow each year. This began what the CCP refers to as the “ten year civil war”, a period that will end in 1936. Now we are going to take a little break from the Chinese Civil War until we hit the early 1930's, but there have been quite a lot of events overshadowed by the Northern Expedition. I of course can't get into everything that was going on in China during the late 1920's, but I thought it be a good idea to at least tackle some of the big ones. If you remember all the way back when I was listing the different warlord cliques, one of them was the Ma clique. Feng Yuxiang's Guominjun had been shoved into the northwest after the Anti-Fengtian war and one province his men began to oversee was Gansu. At the time famine, natural disasters and the forced seizure of farming land for opium cultivation drove the people of Gansu to rebellion. Two Hui Muslim Generals, Ma Zhongying and Ma Tingxiang exploited the situation to perform a revolt against the Guominjun in 1928.  Prior to this, there had been a lot of ethnic/religious fighting within the province of Gansu. An American botanist named James Rock wrote accounts of how he saw fighting between the Hui Muslims ld by the warlord Ma Qi and Tibetan Buddhists at the Labrang Monastery. Back in 1917, Tibetans in Xunhua had rebelled against Ma Anliang because of over taxation. Ma Anliang did not report this to the Beiyang government and was reprimanded for it, seeing Ma Qi sent by the Beiyang government to investigate and suppress the rebellion. Ma Qi commanded the Ninghai Army in Qinghai and used his forces to seize the Labrang Monastery in 1917. This was the first time non-Tibetans had taken the monastery. Because of this ethnic/religious riots broke out between Muslims and Tibetans seeing Ma Qi defeat the Tibetans. Afterwards he heavily taxed the town of Labrang for over 8 years and repeatedly quelled uprisings. In 1921 he crushed Tibetan Monks trying to retake the monastery. In 1925 a full blown Tibetan rebellion broke out, seeing thousands attacking Hui Muslims. Ma Qi responded by deploying 3000 troops who quickly retook Labrang and machine gunned thousands of Tibetans trying to flee. Ma Qi would besiege Labrang numerous times seeing Hui Muslims, Mongols and Tibetans all fighting for control over Labrang, but by 1927 Ma Qi gave it all up. Ma Qi became the governor of Qinghai and moved on. However, that was not the last Labrang would see of General Ma Qi. The Hui forces looted and ravaged the monastery again and in revenge Tibetans skinned alive many Hui soldiers. One of the most common practices was to slice open the stomach of a living soldier and then put hot rocks inside the stomach. Many Hui women were sold to the ethnic Han and Kazakhs. Children were adopted by the Tibetans. Now come 1927, Feng Yuxiang became the governor of Gansu. To control the region, Feng Yuxiang incorporated and promoted Hui Muslim Generals within his Guominjun. Feng Yuxiang placed Liu Yufen with 15,000 troops to act as governor while he jumped into the northern expedition. There was a particularly nasty earthquake that year, followed by drought and famine. Liu Yufen responded to the situation by overtaxing the populace. During the later half of the northern expedition, Zhang Zuolin fomented any rebellious fires he could amongst his enemies and he could see within Gansu there was an opportunity to exploit. He began sending shipments of weapons to the son of Ma Anliang, Ma Tingxiang who unleashed a revolt against Liu Yufen in Liangzhou. The revolt soon spread and this saw Ma Tingxiang unleash a siege against Hezhou in the spring of 1928. To support the siege, Ma Zhongying recruited Hui, Dongxiang and Salar Muslims, forming an army nearly 10,000 strong. By November, the Hezhou besiegers numbered 25,000 and were beginning to starve. So the men were directed towards the Tao River Valley in the south where they began slaughtering Tibetan monks. They burned the place of the Tibetan Tusi Chief King Yang Jiqing after defeating his 3000 man strong army and sacked the Tibetan city of Chone. The Tibetan areas south of Gansu were laid to waste. At Taozhou Tibetan militias tried to fight off the force of Ma Tingxiang but were defeated. However they did inflict severe casualties upon Ma Tingxiang's forces. This only emboldened more atrocities, seeing muslim forces burn printing presses and temples of the Tibetan Buddhists in Chone. The muslims then looted the Gompa (for those who don't know a Gompa is a sacred Buddhist spiritual compound, sort of like a buddhist university) and massacred the Tibetan Buddhist monks of the Labrang monastery.  The Austrian-American botanist Joseph Rock witnessed much of the carnage and even found himself stuck in a battle in 1929. He described seeing Muslim armies leaving behind Tibetan skeletons over wide areas and decorated the Labrang Monastery with severed Tibetan heads. During the 1929 battle of Xiahe near Labrang, severed Tibetan heads were apparently used as ornaments by Hui Muslim troops within their camps. Rock stated “how the heads of young girls and children were staked around the encampment. Ten to fifteen heads were fastened to the saddle of every Muslim cavalryman. The heads were "strung about the walls of the Moslem garrison like a garland of flowers" The blood flowed until 1929 whence Liu Yufen with support of Feng Yuxiang finally drove off their forces. Its estimated up to 2 million died in the war across Gansu. Ma Tingxiang tried to defect to Chiang Kai-Shek, but would find himself captured later by Feng Yuxiang who executed him. Another notable rebellion occurred in the good old province of Shandong, because where else right?  You may remember me talking about a small group known as the Red Spear Society. They were a movement made up of peasants, who formed self-defense militias during China's Warlord Era. There were numerous branches, but the largest one was in Shandong, particularly within Laiyang county. They of course were so numerous in Shandong because of our old friend the Dogmeat General Zhang Zongchang. Zhang Zongchang notoriously abused the populace of Shandong with gross mismanagement, over taxation and pure brutality. Lets also be honest, Shandong just keeps rearing its head through this podcast series, its basically the melting pot for uprisings. In the fall of 1928, banditry rose exponentially across the Shandong Peninsula, leading more and more villages to join the Red Spear Society trying to defend themselves. Meanwhile with Zhang Zongchang defeated and tossed into exile in Dalian, his subordinate, Liu Zhennian became the new ruler of the province. Liu Zhennian had defected to the KMT at the very last moment, betraying his master so he could steal his fiefdom. Liu Zhennians rule was just as bad if not worse than the Dogmeat General. He overtaxed the population, though a little less than Zhang Zongchang mind you. He used his personal army to brutalize the population, many of his troops simply became bandits looting and pillaging the countryside. All of this further antagonized the Red Spear Society.  In 1928 the Red Spear Society organized a militant tax resistance, causing Liu Zhennians officials to fear even going near a village, particularly at Laiyang and Zhaoyuan where large concentrations of Red Spears were. Now the Red Spears were not the only problem that would hit Shandong in the late 1920's. Our good friend, Zhang Zongchang, exiled in Dalian could not take it anymore and wanted to seize back his power base from his former subordinate. He formed a plot to perform an uprising in Shandong with the help of Chu Yupu and Huang Fengqi. Zhang Zongchang first enlisted the help of one of his former White Russian Commanders, Generals Grigory Semyonov and Konstantin Petrovich Nechaev. Zhang Zongchangs plan to recapture Shandong rested upon the tens of thousands of his former soldiers still within the province. Many of them had not joined the NRA and instead tossed their lot in as bandits. Within quite a precarious economic situation without a real leader, many of them were willing to come back to Zhang Zongchang. These men were certainly not in the best shape. They were demoralized, lacked weapons and training, but they did have one thing going for them. Their war was to be against Liu Zhennians forces and not the crack NRA. Liu Zhennians forces were technically part of the NRA, but in reality they were just a bunch of under trained Fengtian troops who had no real allegiance to the new Nationalist government. They had zero support from the population of Shandong, whom they terrorized. Zhang Zongchang would also have the financial backing of Japan for his little venture.  When Zhang Zongchang came over to Shandong, this caused Liu Zhennians garrison units at Longkou and Huangxian to mutiny in late January of 1929. The local commanders, Liu Kaitai, Xu Tienpin, Li Xutung and Kao Pengqi all began working to overthrow Liu Zhennian. They renounced their allegiance to the KMT and began a revolt. Roughly 3000 men strong consisting of Zhang ZOngchangs former Shandong troops and some Ex-Zhili forces they began to loot and pillage Longkou, Huangxian and Dengzhou. The foreign communities in these parts fled to two Japanese warships at harbor. The Imperial Japanese Navy then sent a squadron to protect their citizens in the area. This was soon followed up by 20,000 troops of Liu Zhennian. However instead of facing Liu Zhennian's men, the mutineers fled into areas defended by the Red Spears. The mutineers and Red Spears formed an alliance, and they prepared an offensive against Longkou. In February the rebels gained the upper hand and pushed Liu Zhennian into the Zhifu area in northeastern Shandong. On February 19th, Zhang Zongchang, Chu Yupu and Huang Fengqi landed at Longkou with a small detachment. The mutineers promptly joined their old master and as he set up a new HQ at Dengzhou. From there they marched upon Zhifu. 15 miles short of Zhifu Zhang Zongchang's now 5000 man strong army ran into Liu Zhennians near Fushan. Zhang Zongchang was hopelessly outnumbered, but luckily Huang Fengqi had spent most of February recruiting their old comrades and managed to assemble 26,000 troops. Meanwhile, Liu Zhennian now had fewer troops than Zhang Zongchang and his KMT backers did not support him very much. What he did receive from the KMT was 200,000 rounds of ammunition, and roughly 50,000 yuan for military funds. Furthermore he was impaired by the presence of the IJN who were secretly supporting Zhang Zongchang by not allowing NRA reinforcements into the area. After a series of skirmishes, Zhang Zongchang arrived at Zhifu with a force nearly 25,000 strong, while Liu Zhennian only had 7000 men left to defend the town. On february 21st the two sides clashed and surprisingly it was Zhang Zongchang who lost. Despite their numbers, they simply were not armed well enough to fight an army who enjoyed fortifications. Another issue they faced was the fact, Zhang Zongchang was not even present during the battle. Zhang Zongchang suffered 500 casualties, roughly 200 deaths and 300 captured, perhaps worse he lost nearly 3000 rifles and 15 machine guns. He pulled back his army to Dengzhou, undaunted by the defeat. Zhang Zongchang's troops then began pillaging the local population. Zhang Zongchang began negotiations with Liu Zhennian trying to convince him to surrender. Certainly Liu Zhennian was not in a good state, by February 25th roughly 15,000 of his troops near the area of Weihaiwei had defected to Zhang Zongchang. By the end of the month Zhang Zongchang effectively controlled eastern Shandong. It was around early March when Zhang Zongchang announced a new warlord coalition, consisting of himself, Chu Yupu, Qi Xieyuan, Wu Peifu, Bai Chongxi, Yan Xishan and countless Fengtian commanders who would soon launch a campaign to defeat the KMT. You are probably thinking to yourself, some of those names don't make any sense, why would they join old Dogmeat? They didn't, he simply made the entire thing up, because he had something cooking in Beijing. Zhang Zongchang sought to foment an anti-KMT movement in north China. On March 2nd, 20 armed men wearing civilian clothing suddenly disarmed the Shanxi Army guards at the Yonghe Temple. These men then fired into the air signaling a regiment loyal to Zhang Zongchang to perform a mutiny. The mutineers quickly manned the temple walls, barricaded themselves in and seized control over nearby fortifications. From their vantage points they began shooting at the local populace causing panic and disorder. Then at lightning speed the KMT forces in Beijing surrounded the Yonghe Temple and forced the mutineers to surrender. Only 2 mutineers were killed, 35 were wounded, but a lot of civilians had been hurt. Despite being a bit comical if you think about it, the Beijing Revolt as it became known received a lot of press. The Nanjing government then took some steps to prevent any more Shandong NRA troops from joining the rebels. Meanwhile back over in eastern Shandong, Zhang Zongchangs troops had literally razed 6 large towns and 50 villages to the ground, apparently in retaliation because someone tried to assassinate Zhang Zongchang. It would not take much for those back under the Dogmeat Generals rule to want to kill him. He was back to his old brutal ways, going even above and beyond. It is said captured women were being sold as slaves at Huangxian for 10-20 mexican dollars. One of Zhang Zongchangs commanders, General Li Xudong had his forces plunder Laizhou before returning to the frontlines around Zhifu. Liu Zhennians forces were likewise looting, albeit on a smaller scale. Liu Zhennian was also ignoring orders from Chiang Kai-Shek to control his men and act in accordance with NRA protocols, IE: no raping, looting and such. The civilian population of Zhifu were so brutalized many simply fled for Dalian. There emerged a growing international concern for the foreign community in eastern Shandong. Several foreign warships began to anchor there. Meanwhile the Red Spear Society was occupying parts of Shandongs hinterland, expanding their influence as countless villages and towns joined them for protection. The Red Spear Society were not the only ones forming localize self defense forces. Being Shandong, the act of doing so had been as ancient as time it self, a lot of irregular armed groups rose up such as the one 2000 man strong army led by Wang Zucheng known as the “southern army” and another force calling themselves the White Spear Society. This group was explicitly raised to defend local villages from Zhang Zongchangs men, but quickly found themselves under attack from local armed groups as well. The White Spears, like the Red Spears, formed a powerbase in Shandongs hinterland.  By early March, Zhang Zongchang and Liu Zhennian agreed to a 5 day ceasefire. Zhang Zongchang followed this up by trying to bribe Liu Zhennian to defect back to him. He offered him 100,000 yuan but in Liu Zhennians words "I thought my loyalty was worth at least 500,000 yuan". Zhang Zongchang was unwilling to pay that much, so Liu Zhennian remained on the side of the KMT. Thus both parties gathered more troops to do battle, once the 5 days were over Zhang Zongchang attacked Zhifu. While under siege, Liu Zhennian received 7000 reinforcements from a local warlord named Sun Dianying. Unfortunately soon after, one of Liu Zhennians regimental commanders, Colonel Liang defected to Zhang Zongchang, opening the gates of the city. Liu Zhennians forces managed to retreat in good order eastwards as Zhang Zongchang began brutalizing the local population. A 6 day long spree of rape, murder and looting devestated Zhifu. By March 28th the Japanese and KMT government signed an agreement resulting in the departure of Japanese forces from Shandong. Meanwhile Liu Zhennian's army had fled to Muping where they found themselves yet again under siege. Liu Zhennian sortied to attack his assailants, inflicting 2000 casualties. As the siege progressed, Liu Zhennian offered to surrender on April 4th, but Zhang Zongchang refused, thinking he had the win in the bag. Unfortunately for Zhang Zongchang, his men gradually sought to plunder the undefended countryside rather than maintain the siege, greatly reducing his strength. During a final attempt to take Muping on April 22nd, Zhang Zongchang's army was routed. Liu Zhennian launched a counter offensive forcing most of Zhang Zongchangs men into the countryside. Countless simply became bandits again, Zhang Zongchangs big attempt to retake the province had crumbled.  Zhang Zongchang yet again fled to Dalian, leaving Chu Yupu with just under 5000 men. Chu Yupu fled to Fushan where he took its 20,000 inhabitants hostage. For 13 days Chu Yupu was besieged by NRA forces. During those 13 days, Chu Yupu's men raped, murdered and looted. Apparently they tied up over 400 women and children to be used as human shields during the siege as well. Chu Yufu eventually surrendered, whereupon numerous women and girls committed suicide having become raped and pregnant. Over 1500 NRA and 2000 rebels were reportedly killed during the siege of Fushan. The city that had been plundered heavily for 13 days, was then plundered by the besiegers. Chu Yupu had secured a deal with the KMT to be allowed to go into exile in Korea with 400,000$ worth of silver. Now again back to those Red Spears. By the summer of 1929 they had ballooned into what was effectively a proto-state around Dengzhou. They had established a magistrate, taken over all the local administration and introduced land and head taxes to fund themselves…which is ironic. Within their territory they refused to pay governmental taxes. They introduced a forced conscription of at least one member of each family. The taxes collected funded buying arms and ammunition and any NRA or KMT officials who came near were shot on sight. It got to the point if anyone was caught speaking without the local dialect they were turned away. By august they were roughly 60,000 strong and were too large for Liu Zhennian not to deal with any longer. On September 23rd Liu Zhennien unleashed an encirclement campaign between Dengzhou and Huangxian, performing a scorched earth policy. His troops destroyed 18 villages and largely burned down another 60 killing everyone they encountered, whether man, woman or child. By November the Red Spears in the area ceased to exist. It was just another sunny day in Shandong province.  I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

The Guangzhou uprisings was another testament to the lengths the CCP would go to try and carve out a new communist China. The Gansu and Red Spear uprisings were just a few amongst countless tales of the absolute mayhem and chaos that was China's warlord era, when the real victims were always the same, the common people of China.

A group of Tibetan Buddhist monks, living in exile in India, are doing a “sacred arts tour” this month in the US. They're demonstrating an ancient artistic and spiritual practice, creating big, colorful sand mandalas. They say Buddhist traditions like this are under threat because of Chinese government policies in their historic homeland of Tibet.

It's time for a surprise bonus episode drop! The entire gang is getting together to discuss the recent animation of Season 5's The Abominable Snowmen. So many questions – have Big Finish Creative finally fixed the problem of super long arms? Will the Archer-style animation work with the Yeti? And will animation turn a tedious, padded story into anything other than a tedious, padded story?   Along the way, Don puts himself in the shoes of the real Yeti, Julie enthuses over the way the animation handled Padmasambhava (aka Panda Salad Bar), Anthony gets highly critical of how the Yeti are animated, and Reilly feels some nostalgia for the Loose Cannon reconstructions. The entire crew find themselves appreciating the character models of the Tibetan Monks.   If you would like to watch along with us, this serial not yet available for streaming, but be found on DVD and Blu Ray from either Amazon US (https://amzn.to/3gbdZE3) or Amazon UK (https://amzn.to/3EJT4lt).   If you'd like to listen to our original thoughts from when we first discussed the reconstructed version of this serial, you can hear them in our 45th Episode, Chonkers of the Himalayas (https://bit.ly/3MAv2LQ).   Other media mentioned in this episode: Archer: The Complete Season One (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3stMDNr | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/32puwNH) Clutch Cargo: The Complete Series (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3VwNf0Y | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3s4bjKR) Flash Gordon (Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3BVj895 | Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/3AXEzoB)   Finally, you can follow us and interact with us on our social media accounts - Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Lambda State | Himalayan Tibetan Monks Tradition Meditation | Complete Oneness And Wholeness Frequency: Lambda waves oscillate at a frequency of  100-200 Hz. * Oscillate means to move or swing back and forth in a regular rhythm. Overview: Lambda are very high frequency waves, much higher than the Gamma frequency range, and even higher than the Hyper Gamma range, which is around the 100Hz mark. As mentioned in the introduction, Lambda waves are closely related to Epsilon waves. Interestingly, if you zoom in far enough you would see that embedded within the slow Epsilon wave is a very fast Lambda wave. The Epsilon wave is essentially riding on the Lambda wave. Lambda waves are associated with experienced meditators, such as the Tibetan monks, who are able to meditate in the Himalayan mountains for hours without succumbing to the very low temperatures. Similarly, you may have heard of a man known as the ‘Iceman', who is able to control his core body temperature and withstand freezing temperatures. It is thought that he is able to tap into the Lambda waves brain state for a prolonged period of time. Wim Hof, the Iceman. Like the Himalayan Tibetan Monks he is able to meditate at extremely low temperatures. Lambda is therefore associated with a much higher level of consciousness, beyond simply deep meditation or spiritual consciousness. It is more a state of complete oneness and wholeness. Benefits: The Lambda state seems to be an almost a secretive one, one that is somewhat shrouded in mystery. And that would make sense considering it is incidentally tied to the Tibetan meditation tradition. Lambda is often associated with a moment of discovery and insight that is indescribable, an “aha” moment, so to speak. I guess the best way of putting it would be if you suddenly understood the meaning of life: you'd be able to feel it and sense it, but unable to put it into words. SUBSCRIBE NOW

Focus on either your breath or the Ohm mantra to quiet the mind. Let go of all your expectations for this meditation and just sit. If your mind wanders, let it and gently bring your attention back to the breath. Dont fight with it, if you fight with it, you are stuck with it. And so on you can use the wandering of the mind as a repetitive excersise to awaken yourself out of thought.

Upon returning to the U.S. he earned his undergrad degree in the field of psychology and upon graduation found himself with an urge to travel to India. Upon his arrival in India he began the journey of his life after encountering two Tibetan Monks who invited him to come and learn in Northern India where he spent six years studying the Mahayana Tibetan Buddhist path. While there he had the opportunity to not only study in India but also in Nepal and twice into Tibet and had many experiences that could be termed as mystical connecting with all of his past lives.

Felton Pruitt talks to Joseph Guida, founder of Sierra Friends of Tibet, about an upcoming visit of the Tibetan Monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery.

I have done a lot of Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations in the presence of all kinds of people, with varying types of music, in all kinds of places over the past six years. I say this to give you some context of how powerful the Dr. Joe Meditation I did in Marco Island featuring Matthew Kocel's music was in opening my heart. My heart blew right open when his music started playing and his music is something I enjoy listening to as often as possible. “Matthew Kocel's music is so primal, so rich and brilliantly soulful... It touches us on a profoundly deep level and opens our hearts..." - Dr Joe Dispenza Hailing from the rugged coast of British Columbia, Canada, Matthew Kocel is a throat singer, multi-instrumentalist and recording artist with over 3 decades experience as a performer and multi-disciplinary healing arts practitioner. Recognized as a leader in the global sound healing movement, Matthew Kocel's music is currently being featured in Dr. Joe Dispenza's retreats and guided meditations. With a rare combination of throat singing, overtone chant and natural voice, he draws on diverse influences from Led Zepplin to Tibetan Monks, Pink Floyd to Mongolian throat singers. Matthew's music defies labels yet feels deeply familiar on a cellular level. The harmonic overtones of his voice - sounding 2, 3 or more notes at the same time - resonate from the core of the Earth, dissolving the boundaries of space/time, giving direct experience of the oneness of all things. Reactions to his music have been well documented online with people sharing stories of extra-ordinary experiences while listening to his music. He is a committee member of the Global Wellness Institute Sound Healing Initiative, and his third album Song of the Ancients is set for release this year.

Buddhism is one of the major world religions that focuses on the true nature of life - the state of enlightenment. It is a way to live, seeking the state of inner peace and wisdom instead of focusing on a relationship between The Divine and humanity.“There is no enemy outside our soul. The real enemies live inside us: anger, ego, greed and hate.” - Siddhartha GautamaWe are all living in this world, dealing with problems, fears, and uncertainties but our greatest enemy is ourselves. Finding contentment among all things can be the greatest wealth a person can have. Setting our hearts doing good things and allowing ourselves to appreciate small things will help us find joy and inner peace.Tibetan monks find contentment and pleasure by dedicating their lives to prayer and serving others. In this episode, we will be learning how Buddhists, especially Tibetan monks, maintain a peaceful life despite the problems they face. This episode features the Buddhist philosophies in attaining the state of enlightenment, keeping calmness, and inner peace. Listen to this episode to know more about a way of looking at the world that can help you deal with difficult situations that bear sadness, fear, anxiety, and distress.Memorable Quotes:To have long-lasting peace, you have to prioritize your mental health. - SonamConsidering someone's happiness and peace of mind brings you help for yourself to be more peaceful. - Tenzin ChoesandThe best way to take care of yourself is to take care of others as well. - SonamImportant Points:Buddhism is a way of life and does not restrict which religion you want to join.Buddhism teaches mostly inner values such as love, compassion, and trust.Balance what you give for yourself and what you give to others.Enlightenment means to eliminate all negative emotions within you.About the Guests:Tenzin Choesang and Sonam are Tibetan monks practicing the Buddhist way of living, which involves a commitment to praying and serving other people. Doing these things makes them feel content in which they also find pleasure from these. They do not only conduct religious ceremonies but also take care of monasteries. About the Host:Dung Trinh, MD is the Chief Medical Officer of Irvine Clinical Research, medical missionary with TongueOut Medical Missions, and holds leadership positions with multiple health care organizations in Orange County.

“[The purpose of meditation] is transforming your mind, making it more adaptive… and cultivating wisdom.” (Dr. Marieke van Vugt)Today today we have with us Dr. Marieke van Vugt, a Neuroscientist from the University of Groeningen. In this episode of Science & Wisdom LIVE, Dr. van Vugt introduces the practices of analytical meditation and debate. She describes her experience with Tibetan Monks from Sera Jay University and the challenges of studying these practices scientifically. The last part of the podcast is a conversation between Dr. van Vugt and our audience which took place after her recent webinar. The evidence she presents shows that analytical meditation induces brain states associated with attention and focus and improves emotional regulation, validating scientifically the transformative potential of these ancient contemplative practices.0:00 Introduction: Encounters between Tibetan Monks and Western Scientists1:49 Meditation: familiarising your mind with wholesome habits3:15 An Introduction to Analytical Meditation8:21 The ‘rules' of Monastic Debate13:03 How can we study analytic meditation and debate scientifically?15:14 Debate increases theta brain-waves, associated with attention and focus18:02 Does monastic training improve emotion regulation? 21:03 The challenges and the fruits of doing science in the monastery23:37 Q&A

MARIEKE VAN VUGT Neuroscience, University of Groningen, NL From Tibetan monks to dancers and back: trying to understand the role of inter-brain synchrony in human connection While laboratory research can tell us many interesting things, there are many situations that are not captured by existing paradigms. In this talk, I will share my experience investigating the practice of monastic debate, a reasoning-based meditation practice that is a core component of life at Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. One of the notable features of this practice is that it is a dyadic practice, and for this reason we decided to investigate it using EEG hyperscanning. We observed increases in the synchrony between the brains of the two debaters when they were agreeing with each other compared to what they were disagreeing. One of the interesting features of debate is that it is not only a challenging mental practice, but it also has a strong physical component. In some sense, it almost looks like a choreography. To disentangle whether the inter-brain synchrony was mainly driven by the mental processes or the movement, we decided to study dancers. The dancers we are working with are not only movement experts but also are able to generate a large spectrum of mental states that explore different facets of human connection. In a tour through the Netherlands, we have been collecting EEG data while the dancers are exploring human connectedness through movement. I will discuss challenges and opportunities involved in this method of data collection.

Chris and Troy explore the world of work, depression it can cause, and three steps learned from the Tibetan Monks about how to go about nabbing that promotion at work.

In this 11-minute podcast interview, BCB host Channie Peters talks with Marissa Cleveland, Events Manager for the BI Museum of Art (BIMA), and Bob Ruch who is hosting a group of Tibetan monks on Bainbridge Island. They talk about this unique opportunity for the art museum to offer the extraordinary experience of witnessing the creation of a sand mandala to museum visitors. Marissa explains how this is a perfect fit with the theme of the museum's current show: Journeys. Mandala is the sanskrit word for circle. The sand mandala is a Tibetan Buddhist tradition involving the creation and destruction of mandalas made from colored sand. In Tibetan Buddhism, intricate, colorful mandalas containing many Buddhist symbols are used as objects for meditation practice.The sand mandala is one of the most elaborate, intricate, exquisite art forms, typically created by highly trained Tibetan monks. And after the sand mandala has been created, there is a formal ceremony of blessings, the sand is swept up, and poured into the sea. While this is symbolic of impermanence, the real significance of the sand mandala is that it is created to be a container for blessings, power and well-being. Before it is swept away, blessings are offered in a ceremony. These blessings fill every grain of sand, and then the sand is poured into the sea, which carries the blessings out into the world. This ancient Tibetan Buddhist art form will be recreated by six monks from the Gaden Shartse Monastic College in India at the BI Museum of Art during the hours the museum is open, 10 am - 6 pm from Monday, May 2nd through Saturday May 7th. Because Friday, May 6th is Arts Walk, and the museum will be open until 8 pm. the monks will adjust their hours to continue installing the sand until the museum closes at 8 pm so that museum visitors can watch this intricate, meticulous meditative art during Arts Walk. This specific sand mandala will be of the Medicine Buddha, the Buddha of Healing, the manifestation of the healing energy of all enlightened beings. The sand installation will be in the museum's Orientation Gallery so that visitors can walk through and observe the monks at work during museum hours. There will not be any seating in this small space. According to tradition, on the last day after the sand mandala has been completed (in this case, Saturday May 7th), the monks conduct a ceremony to bless the sand. This will occur at approximately 3 pm at the Art Museum. The monks will take the sand that has been swept up from the mandala and carry it to Eagle Harbor where it will be poured into the sea to take its blessings to other shores. Also during the construction of the sand mandala, May 2-7, a DVD video documentary will be continuously playing in the museum's auditorium about the Gaden Shartse Monastic College, which has a highly structured academic curriculum that also includes optional study of arts such as painting, calligraphy, tailoring, Tibetan butter sculpture formation, and sand mandala creation. Training in sand mandala creation is highly skilled and takes three years. While the monks are visiting Bainbridge Island, they will also be available for Buddhist House Blessings, by appointment.

The saying that ‘we are spiritual beings having an earth experience’ is resonating with more and more people as this timely clarion call inspires us to action. And as we awaken to the realisation that our society is coming up against limits to our outmoded thinking, belief systems and thresholds - to what is unbridled growth, we are starting to reflect on the inevitable consequences of ‘business as usual.’‘When the joy of compassionate service is married to a practical and pragmatic drive to transform all existing economic, social, and political institutions, a radical and potentially all-transforming holy force is born.’This coming from the quintessential sacred activist, Andrew Harvey a global transition leader who invokes the sacred in every thought, deed and action in what is our collective … ever expanding cosmology.If there was ever a time to fulfill our hearts calling for a better world, it has to be now. From Mahatma Gandhi to Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama, and Martin Luther King, Jr., we have over the last century witnessed beings stand up to the status quo and against the odds, courageously show(ed) that their passion to represent the repressed and downtrodden continued, unabated.Here in our country of Aotearoa we too have a growing number of people, who surrendering to a greater calling than service to self, devote their lives to doing what they feel, and intuitively know is right, to stand firm in the face of adversity as well as recognising the growing general consensus that things are definitely not sustainable.Where once virtues, values and ethics were more deeply embedded in our community and that they were intrinsic to what we thought and felt society should embrace, yet we are also continuing to witness on a daily basis a greater void in the world. This emptiness is in many ways being foisted upon us from the global corporate juggernaut that has overreached itself and now, ‘sacred activists’ are riding the pendulum that’s finally starting to swing life back towards balance and that of community.Todays new calling is for positive change, for deep dialogue, to open to new ideas, innovation and expanding the parameters of new paradigm thinking. At the same time bringing with it a warm hearted countenance, that unifies the spirit and connects with the common aspirations of so many people who have been affected, but have been struggling and unable to truly contribute to the world.Thus, we are all being called to participate in this upwelling of transformation, in both the outer world and our inner realms especially our celebrating of our reverence for life.So the question that now lends itself to your continuing curiosity, are you a sacred activist? Are you a metaphysical change agent? Do you know anyone who is? And, do you aspire to ignite your own inner wisdom and participate?If this ideal feels compelling to you:Join Diane Marama Winder and Michael FleckAs we share and express what has been bubbling into our consciousness as that of the ‘sacred activist.’*****Diane Marama Winder is an inter-spiritual guide, international teacher and intuitive messenger.

Doug “Ten” Rose has a heart of gold. Recognized by Congress, he has worked on projects with Governor Dukakis, Rock Stars and others to selflessly help those in need…all while being homeless himself.  His new book, Reincarnation Through Common Sense, follows Ten's true life account as Buddhist Monks and Nuns adopt this native New Yorker. Ten talks about the meanings of "Common Sense" and "Reincarnation" as they relate to wisdom and our own moment by moment rebirth and his first book, Fearless Puppy on American Road.  HIS MISSION: ALL profits from book sales are used to sponsor Wisdom Professionals, beginning with, but not exclusive to, Tibetan Monks, Nuns and causes. Money from sales will establish permanent funding sources (businesses/trust funds). A motel-type guesthouse can be built near a temple or meditation center. Money raised from the patronage of business travelers, vacationers, students coming to the center for teachings and tour groups can then be used to perpetually support and provide the basics: food, clothing, shelter, books, medical expenses. Your assistance is vital to the success of this project. These books are not being sent to agents or publishers. The advertising budget is $0. Ten believes that the common concern of our friends will accomplish this universally beneficial goal. When you buy a book, you contribute to this important mission. Please take a moment to share this mission with friends, family and co-workers. Both books are available on Amazon. Learn more at http://www.fearlesspuppy.org/

As part of the Baruch-Rubin Museum of Art Project, a partnership designed to incorporate the arts into the Baruch curriculum, a sand mandala was constructed and demonstrated on Baruch campus. Tibetan monks from Namdroling Monastery in South India spent the day building a sand mandala in the college's Newman Vertical Campus Building. Construction of the sand mandala, measuring 3 by 3 feet, was completed in one day. The monks were invited by Dr. Stan Altman, Director of the Baruch-Rubin Museum of Art Project and Professor of Public Affairs, and Dr. Laurence Kirby, Professor of Mathematics, who recently received a Baruch-Rubin summer grant to explore the use of mandalas in mathematics for explaining the concept of symmetry. The project was done in collaboration with Student Life and the Non-profit Leadership Alliance, and was led by the Tibetan monks who included: Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche, Lama Rapjee Wangchuk, Lama Jigmey Tenzin, Lama Tenzin Chogyal, Lama Passang, and Lama Tashi. The commentators for this program include: Laurence Kirby, Baruch Professor in Mathematics, Judy Fleischman, Hospital for Special Surgery, Khenchen Tsewang Gyatso Rinpoche, Senior Professor of Buddhist Studies, Namdroling Monastery in South India, and Jan Van Alphen, Director of Rubin Museum of Art.

Kymberlee Ruff, MFT, is 1/4 Cherokee. She was adopted into the Hopi family of Grandfather Martin Gashweseoma in 2006. In 2001, Tibetan Monks came to Santa Barbara looking for her son, a tradition of Tibetan Buddhists to send out search parties to find reincarnated Lamas. The Tibetans and the Hopi have a prophecy that begins: "When the Iron Eagle Flies and Horses have Wheels..." Told that her son is the human link between these two matching prophecies, she was given knowledge of the prophecy of these two cultures and asked to speak out about the positive changes coming in 2012. A licensed psychotherapist, she has studied with many Elders and Tibetans since 2001. Grandfather Martin asked her to write about the "Hopi /Tibetan Prophecies". Kymberlee has written 27 postings for The Ground Crew web site and is a featured author in the #1 Best Seller "Transforming Through 2012". http://www.thegroundcrew.com/kymberlee_ruff.htm and also  http://transformingthrough2012.com/ Suzanne Toro is an Author and Poet, "Life & Inner" Guide Self-help Teacher, Creative Visionary and Broadcaster.

In 2012, she is committed to sharing her stories to assist in reminding all of 'us' how we are connected to the fabric of our world system, each other and the possibilities that exist in the heart of the universe. http://suzannetoro.com/wordpress/about/

12pm PST --- One on One with Michele ----MICHELE MEICHE shares her weekly 2012 & beyond update, answers your questions, and does channeled readings--- 12:45pm PST --- Welcome our Awakened Guest: STEVEN HAIRFIELD --- After being raised in a very dysfunctional family Steven entered the U.S. Army and found himself in Vietnam for two tours of duty. While there he met his first teachers, Zen Buddhist Monks, who taught him about intuitive insight. He began to learn their teachings and traditions and spent as much time with them as the military would allow. Upon returning to the U.S. he earned his undergrad degree in the field of psychology and upon graduation found himself with an urge to travel to India. Upon his arrival in India he began the journey of his life after encountering two Tibetan Monks who invited him to come and learn in Northern India where he spent six years studying the Mahayana Tibetan Buddhist path. While there he had the opportunity to not only study in India but also in Nepal and twice into Tibet and had many experiences that could be termed as mystical connecting with all of his past lives. Steven is a certified intuitive by the Edgar Cayce Foundation known as the A.R.E. Association for Research and Enlightenment; they only select 200 people for a seven year service. He has been interviewed by Conscious Media network and Supreme Master T.V. which was aired in 43 different countries and is featured in the documentary ‘Metaphysia 2012' because of his knowledge of the Maya and the mystical date of Dec. 21, 2012. He is the author of ‘A Metaphysical Interpretation of the Bible' and ‘The Twelve Sacred Principles of Karma'. He also has many downloads available like ‘The Art of Manifesting a Monk's Perspective'and ‘The Power of Thought'. He has since received a Masters in Religion and Theology and a Ph.D. in Metaphysics. www.hairfield.com

Now for anyone with men or boys in the house this gift is a MUST have. If the seat is up the light is on. No more wet butts in the middle of the night. I love this idea!!! Website info: www.johnnylight.com contact info: Available by toll-free phone, 888-566-LITE (5483), at www.johnnylight.com, or any of more than 1,000 Lowe's Home Improvement Stores *********************************************************** 3. HANG A MOVIE STAR!! Hang a movie star on your wall with a movie poster from Just Movie Posters. Com. Now it’s possible to be eye to eye with stars from such films as: Bee Movie, Hellboy II—The Golden Army, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Mummy—Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Shrek The Third, The Strangers and more.

If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate….It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal – details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate …the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT “the best chocolate in the world.” It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldn’t You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate™ infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate “increases people’s well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%.” There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate™ is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit. We have great boxes for the holiday that include -- Gratitude, Peace and Joy. Here is the URL www.intentionalchocolate.com ************************************** 5. Very Eco-Friendly Gift to Give. The Olive Smart Sack, 6 reusable bags in one small sack, is a fun and unbelievably practical solution to bringing your own bags.

One Sack, $39, can easily carry a whole cart of groceries. There is also the Olive Smart Half-Sack, a 3 bag ($24) solution. The handles on the bags in the half-sack are slightly longer so that you can sling them over your shoulder. The Olive Smart Sack and Half-Sack are stellar products for anyone who is committed to helping the environment and they make terrific gifts because everyone needs to have our own bags! Available online at www.olivesmart.com. ***************************************** 6. This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. It’s a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other “green” bag options is that it’s more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but they’ll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky. THIRD, the BeGreen bag is inexpensive and can be purchased online at www.begreennow.com for only $12.95. One other thing to note: If you examine the bag there’s a small tag inside that gives some statistics about using the bag, including the carbon avoided and the plastic bags avoided annually and per trip.The BeGreen Pod is ideal and not to mention an environmentally friendly, gift or “stocking stuffer” for this holiday season. ************************************************** 7. Brand new E-ZCHARGE is the greatest low-tech gadget to hit the high-tech world. Everyone has a cellphone! an iPod! or a Bluetooth! so this is the perfect grab bag gift! and at $9.99 you can’t beat the price this holiday season. www.e-zcharge.com E-ZCHARGE is a simply ingenious way to neatly manage the long, unsightly and unwieldy wires that have overtaken kitchen countertops, office desks and bedroom floors.

People will want one or two in every room! And pets, kids and seniors will benefit from the safety feature of being “off” the floor. Fido won’t be gnawing at those wires anymore!

An Alternative, Eco-Friendly Way to Give T Shirts as Gifts This Holiday Season The next time you decide to get rid of that old T Shirt, think twice! It might have a future in high fashion! In fact, it just might end up under your holiday tree as this year's most trendy recycled gift? The innovative team at ReTeez Inc. is giving new purpose to previously-loved T Shirts by transforming them into irresistible new items. From one-of-a-kind totes and handbags to funky pet products; and from fashion accessories to merchandise for the home, ReTeez re-makes old T shirts new again! Each ReTeez item is handmade in North America and every part of the T Shirt is used even the hems are made into dog toys! But ReTeez products are more than a gift to the recipient. They are a bigger gift to the environment. By up-cycling discarded T's, they no longer end up as landfill seeping bleaches and dyes into the ground. Nor are they shipped overseas as cheap clothing - wrecking havoc on local economies. It's an idea whose time has come, explains ReTeez owner Hope Milner. We are all aware of the environmental effects of plastic bags and paper, but little has been done about discarded clothing and textiles. We hope that by creating fashionable and useful recycled products we can save up to 10,000 T Shirts a year from the landfill?. Now that's a gift by anyone's standards! 555 Rockhill, Beaconsfield, Quebec. Canada.

It’s TRUE! Soapnuts are the fruit of a tree (Sapindus Mukorossi), found primarily in India, Indonesia, and Nepal, and they are an EXCELLENT alternative to traditional, chemical-laden detergents. How are soapnuts prepared for use in your wash? They are simply harvested, de-seeded, and then dried in the sun. That’s it! No chemicals or unnatural substances are involved! And they WORK — they really, really work! There are a ton of amazing things about soap nuts. They are 100%, totally natural. They are organically grown and are chemical-free, and they are incredibly gentle on clothes AND skin. They are especially great for those with sensitive skin — including babies and those that suffer from allergies, eczema, and psoriasis! They’re totally biodegradeable, so they’re better for the environment than regular detergent, and they’re antimicrobial, so they’re even good for septic and greywater systems! How do soapnuts work? The outer shell of the soapnut contains saponin, a natural substance known for its ability to cleanse and wash. (That’s what makes them so GREAT for cleaning your laundry!) And here’s a cool fact: soapnuts aren’t a new concept! They have been used to clean all kinds of fabric for centuries, and are only now gaining popularity in the Americas and Europe as a powerful, yet natural alternative to modern chemical detergents. Please browse through our site for lots more information about (and uses for) LaundryTree SoapNuts. Then order some to try for yourself! www.laundrytree.com ******************************************************* The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America is a nonprofit organization based in New York Citythat focuses on providing optimal care to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses, and their families, and unites 950 member organizations nationwide that provide hands-on programs.

If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate….It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal – details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate …the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT “the best chocolate in the world.” It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldn’t You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate™ infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate “increases people’s well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%.” There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate™ is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit. We have great boxes for the holiday that include -- Gratitude, Peace and Joy. Here is the URL www.intentionalchocolate.com ************************************** 5. Very Eco-Friendly Gift to Give. The Olive Smart Sack, 6 reusable bags in one small sack, is a fun and unbelievably practical solution to bringing your own bags. The Sack is designed to fit into the cupholder of your car, and can easily fit into your purse, so that they are always available and you will never have to take consumable bags again. The Olive Smart bags come in a combination of 6 enduring colors, each with over a 20 lb capacity. The fabric is soft, durable and washable supplex nylon. One Sack, $39, can easily carry a whole cart of groceries. There is also the Olive Smart Half-Sack, a 3 bag ($24) solution. The handles on the bags in the half-sack are slightly longer so that you can sling them over your shoulder. The Olive Smart Sack and Half-Sack are stellar products for anyone who is committed to helping the environment and they make terrific gifts because everyone needs to have our own bags! Available online at www.olivesmart.com. ***************************************** 6. This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. It’s a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other “green” bag options is that it’s more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but they’ll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky. THIRD, the BeGreen bag is inexpensive and can be purchased online at www.begreennow.com for only $12.95. One other thing to note: If you examine the bag there’s a small tag inside that gives some statistics about using the bag, including the carbon avoided and the plastic bags avoided annually and per trip.The BeGreen Pod is ideal and not to mention an environmentally friendly, gift or “stocking stuffer” for this holiday season. ************************************************** 7.

It’s TRUE! Soapnuts are the fruit of a tree (Sapindus Mukorossi), found primarily in India, Indonesia, and Nepal, and they are an EXCELLENT alternative to traditional, chemical-laden detergents. How are soapnuts prepared for use in your wash? They are simply harvested, de-seeded, and then dried in the sun. That’s it! No chemicals or unnatural substances are involved! And they WORK — they really, really work! There are a ton of amazing things about soap nuts. They are 100%, totally natural. They are organically grown and are chemical-free, and they are incredibly gentle on clothes AND skin. They are especially great for those with sensitive skin — including babies and those that suffer from allergies, eczema, and psoriasis! They’re totally biodegradeable, so they’re better for the environment than regular detergent, and they’re antimicrobial, so they’re even good for septic and greywater systems! How do soapnuts work?

If you eat it yourself you will feel elated. If you give it to someone else they will feel elated. If you just buy it (not even eat it) you donated money to good causes and spread love in the world. Introducing Intentional Chocolate Which is different than any other chocolate….It is embedded with good intentions by Tibetan Monks and TESTED against non-enhanced chocolate, to show that it increases well being by between 67 and 1,000 percent (research published in a scientific journal – details below or I can send you the study.) It is also high quality chocolate …the parent company, Hawaiian Vintage Chocolate has been called by the NYT “the best chocolate in the world.” It was served at Bill Gates wedding and is being used by famous chefs such as Emeril Lagasse. Wouldn’t You Eat Chocolate Loved by this Man? Intentional Chocolate™ infused with Good Intentions by Monks A recent scientific study published in the peer reviewed Journal, Explore: The Journal of Science and Healing in October of 2007, states that Intentional Chocolate “increases people’s well-being, vigor and energy by an average of 67% and in some cases 1,000%.” There is no gimmick. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that intention invokes measurable power and energy that can manifest across space and time. We have known for years that our thoughts affect our body (mind-matter) in various ways. Now science with new experiments and better measurement devices is able to show that the people who practice intention setting over a longer period of time, like long-term meditators, can have a real impact on matter outside of the body. Intentional Chocolate™ is using intention to help shift the way humans relate to food by delivering sustenance that nourishes both body and spirit. We have great boxes for the holiday that include -- Gratitude, Peace and Joy. Here is the URL www.intentionalchocolate.com ************************************** 5. Very Eco-Friendly Gift to Give.

This would be an very simple and easy gift to give someone that you may not know well, an unexpected visitor, boss, teacher, office mate, or all the other folks that are on your gift list this season. BeGreen Now has designed a trendy, reusable shopping bag called the BeGreen Pod. It’s a fabulous solution for those "green-minded" trend-setters. In several ways, BeGreen has improved this bag from other, more generic reusable bags. The FIRST improvement from other “green” bag options is that it’s more convenient because it rolls up into itself, tucking into a ball and includes a carabineer (clip). Shoppers can carry the bag in a purse, attach it to a bag or backpack with the carabineer, or simply stuff it somewhere in their car. SECOND, what makes the bag such a great gift option is the fact that with each purchase, BeGreen will plant a tree on your behalf in a reforestation project. So, not only will buyers help out Mother Earth by using a reusable bag during shopping trips, but they’ll also contribute to the absorption of carbon with the planting of a tree in their name. To put that into perspective, the average tree absorbs as much carbon dioxide as a car emits over the span of 740 miles -- the equivalent of driving between New York City and Louisville, Kentucky. THIRD, the BeGreen bag is inexpensive and can be purchased online at www.begreennow.com for only $12.95. One other thing to note: If you examine the bag there’s a small tag inside that gives some statistics about using the bag, including the carbon avoided and the plastic bags avoided annually and per trip.The BeGreen Pod is ideal and not to mention an environmentally friendly, gift or “stocking stuffer” for this holiday season. ************************************************** 7.

An Alternative, Eco-Friendly Way to Give T Shirts as Gifts This Holiday Season The next time you decide to get rid of that old T Shirt, think twice! It might have a future in high fashion! In fact, it just might end up under your holiday tree as this year's most trendy recycled gift? The innovative team at ReTeez Inc. is giving new purpose to previously-loved T Shirts by transforming them into irresistible new items. From one-of-a-kind totes and handbags to funky pet products; and from fashion accessories to merchandise for the home, ReTeez re-makes old T shirts new again! Each ReTeez item is handmade in North America and every part of the T Shirt is used even the hems are made into dog toys! But ReTeez products are more than a gift to the recipient. They are a bigger gift to the environment. By up-cycling discarded T's, they no longer end up as landfill seeping bleaches and dyes into the ground. Nor are they shipped overseas as cheap clothing - wrecking havoc on local economies. It's an idea whose time has come, explains ReTeez owner Hope Milner. We are all aware of the environmental effects of plastic bags and paper, but little has been done about discarded clothing and textiles. We hope that by creating fashionable and useful recycled products we can save up to 10,000 T Shirts a year from the landfill?. Now that's a gift by anyone's standards! 555 Rockhill, Beaconsfield, Quebec. Canada.

It’s TRUE! Soapnuts are the fruit of a tree (Sapindus Mukorossi), found primarily in India, Indonesia, and Nepal, and they are an EXCELLENT alternative to traditional, chemical-laden detergents. How are soapnuts prepared for use in your wash? They are simply harvested, de-seeded, and then dried in the sun. That’s it! No chemicals or unnatural substances are involved! And they WORK — they really, really work! There are a ton of amazing things about soap nuts. They are 100%, totally natural. They are organically grown and are chemical-free, and they are incredibly gentle on clothes AND skin. They are especially great for those with sensitive skin — including babies and those that suffer from allergies, eczema, and psoriasis! They’re totally biodegradeable, so they’re better for the environment than regular detergent, and they’re antimicrobial, so they’re even good for septic and greywater systems! How do soapnuts work? The outer shell of the soapnut contains saponin, a natural substance known for its ability to cleanse and wash. (That’s what makes them so GREAT for cleaning your laundry!) And here’s a cool fact: soapnuts aren’t a new concept! They have been used to clean all kinds of fabric for centuries, and are only now gaining popularity in the Americas and Europe as a powerful, yet natural alternative to modern chemical detergents. Please browse through our site for lots more information about (and uses for) LaundryTree SoapNuts. Then order some to try for yourself! www.laundrytree.com ******************************************************* The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America is a nonprofit organization based in New York Citythat focuses on providing optimal care to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses, and their families, and unites 950 member organizations nationwide that provide hands-on programs.
