10. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin): Mr Jiang, tea baker:
It takes a lot of skill to dry the tea manually, during each stage from when you put the fresh tea leaves into the cauldron until you take them all out, the technique of using your hands varies. For example, sometimes you should press harder or need to change the temperatures.

SUGGESTED LEAD IN
Of the three major beverages of the world, tea, coffee and cocoa, tea is consumed by the largest number of people.
And in China, the self-proclaimed homeland of tea, it is thought tea-shrubs were growing five to six thousand years ago.
The human cultivation of teaplants dates back two thousand years.
And it''s a process that continues to this day with little change.
STORYLINE
With Spring underway in Hangzhou, tea farmers have begun picking one of the most highly valued tea in China, known as ''Longjing'' tea or ''Dragon Well.''
''Dragon Well'' tea got its name because local residents believed a rain-making dragon lived in the village well which is why the water in the area was so pure.
The trees that grow in these hills do have good water, plenty of dew, perfect temperatures and rich soil.
The trunk of a tea tree can live to be over one hundred years old.
New leaves are gathered every seven to ten days during the season, but it is the first few harvests of the spring which demand the highest prices.
These leaves are said to concentrate the goodness that was held inside over the long winter.
Tea gathering in these hills first became a way of life around over one and half thousand years ago.
Traditionally women do this work because their fingers are more nimble.
She drinks tea every day.
But how does it taste?

Tongling City Square Dance - everybody Together to 铜陵市广场舞-《大家一起来》
欢迎订阅本频道！下拉更有惊喜哦！
播放列表：
Chinese Square Dance is now a very popular fitness way for the middle-age and the old in China. Although the dance has many kinds of styles, it is usually strongly rhythmic and easy to learn. The dance creators often use folk music and popular music on the Internet.
Different from Western Square Dance involving four couples (eight dancers) arranged in a square, Chinese Square Dance usually involves much more people simultaneously and causally. And the dancers dance in the evening on squares, grounds and even streets with their own loose and comfortable cloth to allow freedom of movement rather than performing on a stage with complete makeup and same uniforms.
And the dancers gain joy and health by the unrestrained and relaxing rhythm and moves. Hope you enjoy it!

DUBLINERS by James Joyce - FULL Audio Book | Greatest Audio Books
DUBLINERS by James Joyce - FULL Audio Book | Greatest Audio Books - Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories by James Joyce, first published in 1914. They form a naturalistic depiction of Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written when Irish nationalism was at its peak and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences. They centre on Joyce's idea of an epiphany: a moment where a character experiences self-understanding or illumination. Many of the characters in Dubliners later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses. The initial stories in the collection are narrated by child protagonists, and as the stories continue, they deal with the lives and concerns of progressively older people. This is in line with Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence, and maturity. (Summary from Wikipedia)

◆Huh Kyung Young?
Kyung Young Huh was born on the very first day of 1950 under Joong Rang bridge in Seoul. When he was given birth, his father was in jail because the father was suspected as a communist for giving his land to people without getting any money. Korean war began on 25th of June 1950, so Huh had to go down to Jinju, south of Seoul. Huh’s mother died when he was four in Korean age. He was grown up by a farmer after his mother passed away.
He was given a duty of raising a calf. He raised the calf very well and it grew up as a healthy and fat cow. One day, the farmer took the cow to a butcher and killed it. Huh saw the shocking moment when the cow he cherished got killed and he decided to leave from the farmer. With all the hardship he managed to come back to Seoul where he was born.
He had to survive and he tried many jobs such as a stuntman, slipper seller, shoe cleaner. He even sold his blood in order to live. One day while selling sandles, he met Byung Chul Lee, the founder of Samsung. Huh asked Mr. Lee to buy the sandles for him. Huh said to the man that he needed money to keep going to school. Mr. Lee asked Huh to come inside his house and listened to what Huh says. Mr. Lee thought Huh was a brilliant student. So he asked huh to stay at his house. Huh became foster son of Byung Chul Lee after that day.
President of Republic of Korea, Jeong Hee Park had many worries. One day Byung Chul Lee introduces his foster son, Huh to President Park. Mr. Lee says Huh will be helpful for the nation. Huh gives idea such as New Town Exercise (Sae Ma Eul Woon Dong) to the president which enabled Korea to boom economically. He also tries to buy Lake Baikal in Russia in order to secure clean water in the future.
Then, Huh became forty. He comes out as a candidate for presidency three times. In 2007, at his third try, he was able to get attention of the nation because of his interesting words. He says he can levitate, fold spaces, heal people by making people look at his eyes. He also comes out with innovative promises such as giving 30 million won for every birth. 100 million won for every marriage, moving UN headquarter to Pan Moon Jumb, Borderline of South and North Korea.
He is now giving lectures to people who are worried about future of South Korea. You can listen to his lectures at Youtube. He is willing to become the 20th President of Republic of Korea and after he makes Korea a wonderful place to live. He will unite the world as one country and he will make the world without weapons, borderline, and different currency.
But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, (Matthew 6:3)

The Dirty Secrets of George Bush
A number of allegations have been written about several investigations that have taken place related to the Mena Airport as a CIA drop point in large scale cocaine trafficking beginning in the latter part of the 1980s. More from the author:
The topic has received some press coverage that has included allegations of awareness, participation and/or coverup involvement of figures such as future presidents Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush, as well future Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Saline County prosecutor Dan Harmon (who was convicted of numerous felonies including drug and racketeering charges in 1997). The Mena airport was also associated with Adler Berriman (Barry) Seal, an American drug smuggler and aircraft pilot who flew covert flights for the CIA and the Medellín Cartel.
A criminal investigator from the Arkansas State Police, Russell Welch, who was assigned to investigate Mena airport claimed that he opened a letter which released electrostatically charged Anthrax spores in his face, and that he had his life saved after a prompt diagnosis by a doctor. He also claimed that later, his doctor's office was vandalized, robbed, and test results and correspondence with the CDC in Atlanta were stolen,
An investigation by the CIA's inspector general concluded that the CIA had no involvement in or knowledge of any illegal activities that may have occurred in Mena. The report said that the agency had conducted a training exercise at the airport in partnership with another Federal agency and that companies located at the airport had performed routine aviation-related services on equipment owned by the CIA.
Calling All Cars: Hot Bonds / The Chinese Puzzle / Meet Baron
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is the police department of the city of Los Angeles, California.
The LAPD has been copiously fictionalized in numerous movies, novels and television shows throughout its history. The department has also been associated with a number of controversies, mainly concerned with racial animosity, police brutality and police corruption.
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.

You Bet Your Life: Secret Word - Tree / Milk / Spoon / Sky
Julius Henry Groucho Marx (October 2, 1890 -- August 19, 1977) was an American comedian and film and television star. He is known as a master of quick wit and widely considered one of the best comedians of the modern era. His rapid-fire, often impromptu delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him many admirers and imitators. He made 13 feature films with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show You Bet Your Life. His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, glasses, cigar, and a thick greasepaint mustache and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the world's most ubiquitous and recognizable novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses, a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.
Groucho Marx was, and is, the most recognizable and well-known of the Marx Brothers. Groucho-like characters and references have appeared in popular culture both during and after his life, some aimed at audiences who may never have seen a Marx Brothers movie. Groucho's trademark eye glasses, nose, mustache, and cigar have become icons of comedy—glasses with fake noses and mustaches (referred to as Groucho glasses, nose-glasses, and other names) are sold by novelty and costume shops around the world.
Nat Perrin, close friend of Groucho Marx and writer of several Marx Brothers films, inspired John Astin's portrayal of Gomez Addams on the 1960s TV series The Addams Family with similarly thick mustache, eyebrows, sardonic remarks, backward logic, and ever-present cigar (pulled from his breast pocket already lit).
Alan Alda often vamped in the manner of Groucho on M*A*S*H. In one episode, Yankee Doodle Doctor, Hawkeye and Trapper put on a Marx Brothers act at the 4077, with Hawkeye playing Groucho and Trapper playing Harpo. In three other episodes, a character appeared who was named Captain Calvin Spalding (played by Loudon Wainwright III). Groucho's character in Animal Crackers was Captain Geoffrey T. Spaulding.
On many occasions, on the 1970s television sitcom All In The Family, Michael Stivic (Rob Reiner), would briefly imitate Groucho Marx and his mannerisms.
Two albums by British rock band Queen, A Night at the Opera (1975) and A Day at the Races (1976), are named after Marx Brothers films. In March 1977, Groucho invited Queen to visit him in his Los Angeles home; there they performed '39 a capella. A long-running ad campaign for Vlasic Pickles features an animated stork that imitates Groucho's mannerisms and voice. On the famous Hollywood Sign in California, one of the Os is dedicated to Groucho. Alice Cooper contributed over $27,000 to remodel the sign, in memory of his friend.
In 1982, Gabe Kaplan portrayed Marx in the film Groucho, in a one-man stage production. He also imitated Marx occasionally on his previous TV sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter.
Actor Frank Ferrante has performed as Groucho Marx on stage for more than two decades. He continues to tour under rights granted by the Marx family in a one-man show entitled An Evening With Groucho in theaters throughout the United States and Canada with piano accompanist Jim Furmston. In the late 1980s Ferrante starred as Groucho in the off-Broadway and London show Groucho: A Life in Revue penned by Groucho's son Arthur. Ferrante portrayed the comedian from age 15 to 85. The show was later filmed for PBS in 2001. Woody Allen's 1996 musical Everyone Says I Love You, in addition to being named for one of Groucho's signature songs, ends with a Groucho-themed New Year's Eve party in Paris, which some of the stars, including Allen and Goldie Hawn, attend in full Groucho costume. The highlight of the scene is an ensemble song-and-dance performance of Hooray for Captain Spaulding—done entirely in French.
In the last of the Tintin comics, Tintin and the Picaros, a balloon shaped like the face of Groucho could be seen in the Annual Carnival.
In the Italian horror comic Dylan Dog, the protagonist's sidekick is a Groucho impersonator whose character became his permanent personality.
The BBC remade the radio sitcom Flywheel, Shyster and Flywheel, with contemporary actors playing the parts of the original cast. The series was repeated on digital radio station BBC7. Scottish playwright Louise Oliver wrote a play named Waiting For Groucho about Chico and Harpo waiting for Groucho to turn up for the filming of their last project together. This was performed by Glasgow theatre company Rhymes with Purple Productions at the Edinburgh Fringe and in Glasgow and Hamilton in 2007-08. Groucho was played by Scottish actor Frodo McDaniel.
