Rangoon: Extracted from Twentieth Century Impressions of Burma (3)
2012-03-03 19:14:00 RANGOON: PAGODAS.In a town like Rangoon, never the seat of the native Burmese Government, and a capital established by the British, where at the present day only about one-third of the inhabitants are Burmese, it is natural that there should be fewer structures dedicated to religious purposes than in say, Mandalay, or any of the more ancient capitals of Burma. This, accordingly, we find to be the case ; Rangoon can show but few great Buddhist shrines, monasteries, or temples, whilst the number of monks and novices resident in such few monasteries as exist, are in nothing like the large proportion we find in Mandalay, Sagaing, and every more purely Burmese town. But if, for a Burmese city, Rangoon is deficient in religious buildings, in one pre-eminent respect it far outshines them all; in the possession of the greatest and holiest of all Burmese shrines, the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, renowned and revered thoughout the whole of India, China, and indeed throughout the Buddhist world at large...

Interesting facts about yo-yo
2012-02-25 07:32:00 Interesting facts about yo-yo The most interesting fact about the yo-yo is that 'The yoyo is one of the world?s oldest toys. It actually comes in second place, behind the doll.' Yo-yos are now one of the hottest toy collectibles and many models have values in the 100?s even thousands of dollars. The earliest surviving yo-yo dates to 500 BCE and was made using terra cotta skin disks. In 1978, dentist and yo-yo celebrity Tom Kuhn patented the ?No Jive 3-in-1? yo-yo, creating the world's first "take-apart" yo-yo, which enabled yo-yo players to change the axle. Originally manufacturing yo-yos from wood, yo-yo technology improved in the 1960s when the industry switched to plastic.

The 1980?s were an important stage for yoyos. The first clutch (come back without pulling) yoyo was invented by the yomega yoy...
