What did Aung San Suu Kyi do to be arrested in 1989?
Aung San Suu Kyi (1945- ) was placed under house arrest because she posed a threat to the military junta in Burma. Aung San Suu Kyi was in a position to be elected Prime Minister---and indeed, she was elected in 1990---and the government did not want her to have such a powerful position in the government because she promoted democracy.
Democracy would lessen the power of the military junta, and the military leaders did not want that. In spite of her house arrest, Aung San Suu Kyi won the 1990 election for Prime Minister. The military junta, however, did not recognize her victory and nullified the election results.
Aung San Suu Kyi has spent 14 of the last 20 years under house arrest, despite the international call for her release. Burmese officials have recently said Aung San Suu Kyi may be released to participate in the 2010 Burmese elections---she will not be allowed to run for office.
Aung San Suu Kyi has won many international awards for her non-violence approach and promotion of democracy. The Burmese government has offered her freedom if she was to leave the leave the country. She has refused the offer, furthering her support and continuing her fight against the military junta.
What are the areas of economy where government intervention is considered desirable?
It is possible according to some interpretations for a market economy to have government intervention in the economy. The key difference between market economies and planned economies lies not with the degree of government influence but whether that influence is used to coercively preclude private decision.[original research?] In a market economy, if the government wants more steel, it collects taxes and then buys the steel at market prices. In a planned economy, a government which wants more steel simply orders it to be produced and sets the price by decree. An economy where both central planning and market mechanisms of production and distribution are present is known as a mixed economy. Germany's social market economy was one of the better functioning mixed economies, as microeconomists note that it had relatively free prices compared to other more socialist countries like the United Kingdom for much of the later 20th century.[citation needed] The proper role for government in a market economy remains controversial. Most supporters of a market economy believe that government has a legitimate role in defining and enforcing the basic rules of the market. Different perspectives exist as to how strong a role the government should have in both guiding the economy and addressing the inequalities the market produces. For example, there is no universal agreement on issues such as protectionist tariffs, federal control of interest rates, and welfare programs. Milton Friedman, along with many microeconomists[Who?], believed that too much government intervention and regulation can result in hampering or stopping the transmission of information necessary to allow the market to operate, resulting in very serious government externalities that can lead to inflation, deflation, recessions, and economic depressions. Milton Friedman believes that the Great Depression was the result of a government created externalities and thus was responsible for the causes of the Great Depression

How many Egyptian pyramids have been discovered?
About 118 I shall include the answer I have used before:
A:
All of Egypt's pyramids are sited on the west bank of the Nile and most are grouped together in a number of pyramid fields.
The German Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-84) produced the first modern list of pyramids in 1842. He identified 67. A great many more have since been discovered, in November 2008 118 pyramids had been identified. The location of Pyramid 29 for example, the so-called "Headless Pyramid", was lost for a second time when the structure was buried by desert sands subsequent to Lepsius' survey. It was only rediscovered again during an archaeological dig conducted in 2008.
Many pyramids are in a poor state of preservation or buried by desert sands. If visible at all they may appear as little more than mounds of rubble. As archaeological techniques improve Egyptologists are continuing to identify and study previously unknown pyramid structures.
The most recent pyramid to be discovered is that of Queen Sesheshet, mother of 6th Dynasty Pharaoh Teti, located at Saqqara. The discovery was announced by the Egyptian Council of Antiquities, on 11 November 2008.

Almost all powerful Western countries and Japan colonized some areas in China (total around 5-10% of China's areas, but those areas are the best and most important lands, cities and seaports). Each country colonized a small region in China. Some regions are very large though like Manchurian provinces colonized by Russia and later by Japan after a serious war between Russia and Japan. Britain colonized Hong Kong and Canton area and some area in Shanghai. Germany colonized Ching Tsao area. Dutch invaded and colonized Taiwan. Portugal colonized Macau. France took Vietnam and some other areas in China. During Qing Dynasty, Manchu Chinese controlled the Government of China. Manchu Chinese badly managed the country. So, Han Chinese, the majority of China and the cultural big boss of China, waked up from a long, nice and peaceful sleep. Now, Han Chineses controlled the Government and it is totally a different phenomenon. However, because of Western countries continual support of separation of China until today, China was split into pieces. Outer Mongolia went into independence with the support of USSR. North East and North West regions of China were occupied and controlled by Russia til today. Just these 2 areas are about one third the area of China now! China now is facing another intention to separate Tibet with foreign aids from Western countries. China is pity! China was too big and wealthy that it attracted too many ants to eat it!
Is this right? That Dutch also colonize Taiwan? I thought Dutch only colonize Indonesia..................
