Overview of this Site

2009-08-R18

 

The www.dontow.com is the website of Don M. Tow. It contains information in the following three topical areas (or pages):  Taiji, Political/Social Commentary, and Other Topics. 

This website began in October 2006, and the website was redesigned in the October 2008 release.  The menu for the website is shown on the left of the screen.  An explanation of the contents of this website follows.

Home:  Site Overview:  This "Home" page provides an overview of this website. 

New Articles:  Three new articles are contained in the "Taiji," "Political/Social Commentary," and "Other Topics" pages. The three new articles are respectively:

• "Spontaneous Qigong or Zifagong (自发功)"




• "Heroic and Critical Battles in Yunnan during WWII" or "How Chinese, Americans, and Overseas Chinese Joined Forces to Regain Control of the Critical Supply Route to China"
  
  
• "Qiu Jin (秋瑾) - Modern China's First Feminist"

Archived Articles:  Articles published in previous releases are contained in the three archived pages:

• "Archived-Taiji" page
  
  
• "Archived-Pol/Soc Commentary" page
  
  
• "Archived-Other Topics" page

Author Information:  A short bio of the website author can be found in the "Author" page.


Readers' Comments:  A new feature of the redesigned website is the addition of three "comments" pages, to include those comments (or questions) from readers who want to share their comments with other readers.  The three "comments" pages are:

• "Comments-Taiji" page
  
  
• "Comments-P/S Commentary" page
  
  
• "Comments-Other Topics" page

Readers are encouraged to submit comments (or questions).  Please send your comments via an email to [email protected].  Please also specify whether your comments are intended for only the author of this website or for the other readers as well.  If it is the latter, I will post your comments in the appropriate "Comments" page.  You may use your real name or a pen name.  In the future, I plan to automate this process of posting the readers' comments.


Earlier releases of this website before the website redesign also had a "Soccer" page.  Because all 12 chapters of my book "Mental Aspects of Youth Soccer:  A Primer for Players, Parents, and Coaches" had already been included in the first 12 releases, the website no longer contains a Soccer page.
