https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMVlGjmppeYTeng Li-chun (Chinese: 鄧麗君; pinyin: Dèng Lìjūn; 29 January 1953 – 8 May 1995), commonly known as Teresa Teng, was a Taiwanese singer, actress, musician and philanthropist. Referred to by some as the "Eternal Queen of Asian Pop", she is considered to be one of the most successful and influential Asian popular singers of all time.[1] Teng is recognized as a cultural icon for her contributions to Chinese pop, giving birth to the phrase, "Wherever there are Chinese-speaking people, there is the music of Teresa Teng." A polyglot, Teng's voice and emotionally resonant songs have transcended geographical, linguistic, and political boundaries, captivating audiences across Asia for several decades.[2] With a career spanning almost 30 years, Teng established herself as a dominant and influential force in Asia throughout most of her career,[3] including East Asia, Southeast Asia, and, to some extent, South Asia.[4] Teng is credited as the Far East's first pop superstar and by some as the pioneer of modern Chinese pop music—a major force in the development of the Chinese music industry by incorporating western and eastern styles into her music, replacing the most revolutionary songs then prevalent in mainland China and laying the foundation for modern Chinese popular music.[5] Teng recorded more than 1,700 songs throughout her career, not only in Mandarin, but also in Hokkien, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Japanese, Indonesian, English, and Italian.[6] Teng is considered instrumental in bridging the cultural gap across Chinese-speaking regions and was one of the first artists to connect Japan to some of East and Southeast Asia by singing Japanese pop songs, according to Nippon. In Taiwan, she was famous for entertaining the armed forces and singing patriotic songs that appealed to civilians on the island. Teng was nicknamed "the patriotic entertainer" and "the soldiers' sweetheart". To date, Teng's songs have been covered by hundreds of artists worldwide. According to IFPI statistics, Teng has sold over 48 million albums, excluding sales in mainland China.[7] In 1986, Time named her one of the seven greatest female singers in the world. In 2009, in an online poll by a Chinese government web portal to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, Teng was selected as the "most influential cultural figure in China since 1949" by 8.5 million netizens. On the eve of International Women's Day in 2010, she was named "the most influential woman in modern China" in a poll conducted by many well-known Chinese media from 1 March to 8 March.[8] In 2022, Teng received a street name in Ivry-sur-Seine, Grand Paris, from the Municipal council of France. On 21 September 2024, an Indo-Pacific Strategic Think Tank (IPST) conducted a poll in Japan on "Who is the most famous person in Taiwan?" Teng won the poll with 53.8% of total votes.[9] She was inducted into the "Popular Music Hall of Fame" at the Koga Masao Music Museum in Japan in 2007, making Teng the only non-Japanese national to do so.

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-lee-kuan-yew-met-his-wife-ZBEOOzf4SOiEIEmOYfuvbwLee Kuan Yew met his wife Kwa Geok Choo when they were both students at Raffles College in Singapore in the late 1930s[1][2]. Here are the key details of how their relationship developed: ## Initial Meeting and Academic Rivalry - Kwa Geok Choo was one of the few female students at Raffles College at the time[2]. - She excelled academically, outperforming Lee in English and Economics in their first semester[2]. - They started out as academic rivals, competing for top grades[2]. ## From Rivals to Partners - Their academic rivalry soon turned into friendship and eventually blossomed into romance[2]. - Lee was impressed by Kwa's intelligence, considering her his intellectual equal[1]. ## Separation and Reunion - In 1946, Lee left to study law in England, asking Kwa to wait for him[2]. - A year later in 1947, Kwa won the Queen's Scholarship to study law as well, joining Lee at Cambridge University[1][2]. ## Marriage - They secretly married in England in December 1947 while studying at Cambridge[1][2]. - Upon returning to Singapore, they had a second, public wedding ceremony on September 30, 1950[1][2]. ## Partnership in Life and Career - They started their legal careers together at the law firm Laycock & Ong[2]. - In 1955, they co-founded the law firm Lee & Lee along with Lee's brother[1]. - Kwa became a crucial partner to Lee in both his personal life and political career, often editing his speeches and providing valuable support[2]. Their meeting at Raffles College marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership that would have a profound impact on Singapore's history. Lee Kuan Yew often credited Kwa Geok Choo as being instrumental to his success and development as a leader[2]. Citations: [1]

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/freezing-cord-blood-9LiECOdZQHOVUkp8kbf0kQFreezing cord blood involves a meticulous process known as cryopreservation, which is essential for preserving the stem cells found in umbilical cord blood for future medical use. Here’s an overview of the procedure, benefits, and considerations associated with cord blood freezing. ## **The Cryopreservation Process** 1. **Collection**: Cord blood is collected immediately after childbirth, typically within minutes of clamping and cutting the umbilical cord. A needle is inserted into the cord to extract the blood, which is then placed into a collection bag[9][8]. 2. **Processing**: Once collected, the cord blood is processed to isolate the stem cells. This involves screening for diseases and typing the blood to ensure its safety and compatibility for future use[10][9]. 3. **Cryoprotectant Addition**: A cryoprotectant, commonly dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), is added to prevent ice crystal formation that can damage cells during freezing[5][4]. 4. **Controlled Freezing**: The blood is then frozen using a controlled-rate freezer that cools it at a specific rate (typically 1-2.5 °C per minute) to minimize cellular damage. This process typically brings the temperature down to -80 °C before transferring it to liquid nitrogen storage at -196 °C[3][5]. 5. **Storage**: The frozen cord blood is stored in liquid nitrogen tanks, where it can remain viable for many years, potentially decades[2][4]. ## **Benefits of Cord Blood Banking** - **Non-Invasive Collection**: Collecting cord blood poses no risk to the mother or baby, unlike bone marrow extraction which can be invasive and painful[2][8]. - **Broader Compatibility**: Cord blood does not require an exact match for transplantation, reducing rejection risks compared to bone marrow transplants[4][2]. - **Potential Medical Uses**: The stem cells in cord blood can treat various conditions, including certain cancers, blood disorders, and immune deficiencies[6][8]. ## **Considerations and Limitations** - **Stem Cell Quantity**: Cord blood typically contains fewer stem cells than bone marrow; thus, multiple donations may be needed for adult transplants[4][8]. - **Cost Factors**: Private banking can be expensive, with initial fees ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 and annual storage fees of $100 to $200[6][8]. - **Public vs. Private Banking**: Public banks are often recommended as they allow for broader access and do not require payment; however, private banking may be considered if there are known medical conditions in the family that could benefit from stored stem cells[6][8]. In summary, freezing cord blood is a valuable procedure that allows families to store potentially life-saving stem cells for future medical needs while presenting certain logistical and financial considerations.
