Saya San, Shaman $90.81 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Saya San or Galon Saya San (born 24 October 1876, executed 16 November 1931) was a noted monk, a Burmese medicine man or shaman and the leader of the Burmese peasant revolt of 19301931 and pretender to the Burmese throne. He led the first concerted effort to forcefully resist British domination. In 1924 the General Council of Buddhist Associations appointed the 45year old Saya San to head a committee surveying the living conditions of the Burmese peasantry. In the course of the 1927 survey, Saya San (along with a growing number of urban activists and political monks) changed the focus of their work and began inspiring the peasants to resist British forces. This was an attempt to rebel against the British Administration and its tax policies in particular. In 1929 the British proposed new taxes on the Burmese people as well as a forestry bill that would forbid the cutting of trees (Burmas prime asset) without British consent.

San Luis Obispo County California $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles San Luis Obispo County is a county located along the Pacific Ocean in the Central Coast of the U.S. state of California, between Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. As of 2000 its population was 246,681. The county seat is San Luis Obispo, with about 46,000 residents. The countys distance from the large metro areas of San Francisco and Los Angeles has helped it to retain its rural character and reminders of old California abound. Commonly referred to as the Central Coast, the area is more rural and agricultural than many other coastal regions in California. Father Junipero Serra founded the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in 1772 and the Mission is today an active part of downtown San Luis Obispo. The small size of the countys communities, scattered along the beaches, coastal hills, and mountains of the Santa Lucia range, provides a wide variety of coastal and inland hill ecologies to support many kinds of fishing, agriculture, and tourist activities.

San Juan Mountains $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The San Juan Mountains are a rugged mountain range in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado. The area is highly mineralized (the Colorado Mineral Belt) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado. Major towns, all old mining camps, include Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Large scale mining is now uneconomical in the region, although independent prospectors still work claims throughout the range. The last large scale holdouts were the Standard Metals operation near Silverton, which operated until late in the 20th century and the Idarado Mine on Red Mountain Pass that closed down in the 1970s. Another holdout was the illfated Summitville mine on the eastern slope of the San Juans. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
