China Western Development
China Western Development (), also Great Western Development Strategy or the Open Up the West Program, is a policy adopted for the Western China. The policy covers 6 provinces (Gansu, Guizhou, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Yunnan), 5 autonomous regions (Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Tibet and Xinjiang), and 1 municipality (Chongqing). This region contains 71.4% of mainland China's area, but only 28.8% of its population, as of the end of 2002, and 19.9% of its total economic output, as of 2015. History Under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping, the People's Republic of China began to reform its economy in 1978 by changing from a command economy to a market economy. The coastal regions of eastern China benefited greatly from these reforms, and their economies quickly raced ahead. The western half of China, however, lagged behind severely. In March 1999, General-Secretary Jiang Zemin proposed a developmental strategy for the western region at the Ninth National People's Congre ...

Enemy Within (album)
''Enemy Within'' is the seventh solo studio album by English singer-songwriter and guitarist Chris Spedding. The album was originally released in October 1986, on the label New Rose Records in France, and in Germany on Date Records. The album was recorded over a period of three years starting in 1982, at three different recording studios. It was the six-year follow-up to his 1980 album ''I'm Not Like Everybody Else''. The album features contributions from Tom Finn, Anton Fig, Jimmy Zoppi, David Van Tieghem, and Keith Lentin. The album was his last recording of original material for four years, until he released ''Cafe Days'', in 1990. When the album was released in late 1986, it received mixed reviews, and went largely unnoticed by the public, being a commercial disappointment, and even missed the album charts worldwide, alike all of his solo albums (to date). It was later picked up for release by Repertoire Records in 2001, featuring rare bonus content. With the original alb ...

Go West (song)
"Go West" is a song by American disco group Village People, released as the lead single from their fourth studio album of the same name (1979). It was written by Jacques Morali, Henri Belolo and the group's lead singer Victor Willis. The song was successful in the disco scene during the late 1970s. "Go West" found further success when it was covered in 1993 by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. Village People version The song's title is attributed to the 19th-century quote "Go West, young man" commonly attributed to Horace Greeley, a rallying cry for the colonization of the American West, but also an invitation to pursue one's own dreams and individuality. The melody resembles that of the State Anthem of the Soviet Union (and later National anthem of Russia) composed by Alexander Alexandrov. Both the 7″ and 12″ versions of the song were subsequently collected on various greatest hits albums, including a 1997 radio remix which was made in the wake of the success of Pet S ...

It features their hit singles "In the Navy" (#3 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, #2 in the UK Top 40) and " Go West", which the Pet Shop Boys did a successful cover of in 1993. The album was reissued on CD in 1996. ''Go West'' would be the band's last complete album of all-new material for Casablanca, as well as the last album to feature Victor Willis. Critical reception ''Billboard Magazine'' stated that the album contains "some of the most irresistible rhythm in today's pop /disco genre." ''Billboard'' described the song "I Wanna Shake Your Hand" as "an appropriately non romantic twist on the Beatles", with its mock exhortation to "Don't be shy/ go up and say hello." AllMusic critic Amy Hanson felt that aside from the two singles and "Manhattan Woman," which she felt "contained some interesting, James Brown James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006) was an American si ...

List Of English-language Euphemisms For Death
This is a list of euphemisms for death and dying in the English language. A euphemism is a common word or phrase intended to soften the harshness of a literal meaning. For example, most English speakers would understand the phrase ''"kick the bucket"'' to mean ''"to die,"'' as well as to actually kick a bucket. Furthermore, they would understand when each meaning is being used in context. A euphemism is not to be confused with other figures of speech such as a metaphor, which invokes an image by use of implicit comparisons (''e.g.'', ''"the man of steel"'' ); a simile, which invokes an image by use of explicit comparisons (''e.g.'', ''"faster than a speeding bullet"''); and hyperbole, which exaggerates an image beyond truthfulness (''e.g.'', like ''"missed by a mile"'' ). Euphemisms are also not to be confused with proverbs, which are simple sayings that express a truth based on common sense or practical experience. Most English-language idioms for death refer to the process of ...
