# When the People Fell

"When the People Fell" is a science fiction short story by American writer Cordwainer Smith, set in his "Instrumentality" universe. It was originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine in April 1959, and is collected in The Rediscovery of Man, and in the collection of which it is the title story. The story takes place relatively early in the Instrumentality timeline, and a "scanner Vomact" appears both in this story and the classic story "Scanners Live in Vain".
The story recounts, in "flashback" form—an interview between a reporter and a crusty old-timer—a risky attempt by a future Chinese government to claim and settle the planet Venus, at a time when China is the only ethnic nation on Earth which has survived as a separate entity through a global nuclear war and a long dark age which followed. The story implicitly compares Western and Chinese approaches to solving an impossible problem and has the Chinese solution succeed, but at a cost Westerners would find repugnant.

## Plot summary

The setting is the type of benign Venus imagined before the first space probes penetrated the clouds of that planet. Colonization has become stymied by the native inhabitants (loudies), who are apparently sentient bubbles that float around the landscape, getting in the way of human progress. Attempts to communicate with them produce no response. Confining them is useless (they drift back) and killing them produces a deadly explosion that contaminates a thousand acres (4 km²). The non-Chinese authorities of the early Instrumentality government have no answer.
The ruler of Goonhogo (the entity that replaced China under the early Instrumentality) decrees that 82 million Chinesians (men, women, and children) be dropped from space, parachuting down to the surface. Each one has a simple mission — herd the bubbles together. Many die in the process, both in landing and from the bubbles exploding. The rest corralled the loudies together into herds, where they eventually starve, wiping out the species. Meanwhile, more Chinese parachute down with rice seeds and begin planting. Eventually, by sheer weight of numbers, the Chinese conquer Venus.
Smith's point in the story is evidently to demonstrate how Chinese attitudes such as fatalism and obedience to authority, coupled with their large numbers, could outperform the "Yankee ingenuity" and "self-reliant individual" attitudes predominant in mainstream 1950s American science fiction of the time. (However, it is implied that the separate Chinese government and Chinese ethnic identity of the time of the Venus colonization no longer exist in the same form by the time of the story's "frame" interview.)

## Collection

In 2007, Baen Books released a 599-page collection titled When the People Fell in trade paperback format which contained this short story as well as 28 additional short works by Smith and an introductory essay by Frederik Pohl. It was re-released in 2012 in mass market paperback form with 848 pages. All of the story texts in this collection and its companion We, The Underpeople are derived from the revised and corrected NESFA Press editions of Smith's work in the 1990s.

# Wilhelmine Moik

Wilhelmine Moik (26 September 1894 – 12 January 1970) was an Austrian politician and trade unionist.

## Biography

Wilhelmine Moik was born 26 September 1894 in Vienna as one of a total of nine children of a toolmaker and a seamstress in the Viennese district Ottakring. She worked with her mother and siblings sewing bed linen in the cramped quarters of their home. At the age of 17, she was forced to spend several months in hospital as a result of a lung ailment. One day after her 18th birthday Moik joined the Social Democratic Labour Party (SDAP) and got her first job in the Domestic Workers Association. She had learned of the use and value of trade unions from her father and had attended meetings of the Social Democratic Labour Party and the Free Trade Unions. In 1916 she was employed by the Association of Housemaids and homeworkers and then, when she was working within the trade union commission, she became an employee of Anna Boschek, the first trade unionist in parliament. Moik became engaged in women's issues in the union and society. In 1927 she was elected women secretary of the Confederation of Free Trade Unions. From 1927 to 1934 she worked closely with Käthe Leichter who was murdered in 1942 in the Ravensbrück concentration camp. From 1932 to 1934 Moik was deputy of the SDAP in the Vienna City Council.
In February 1934, after the unions were outlawed, Moik became deeply involved in the cause of her party and Socialist Workers' Assistance. She spoke, gave lectures, supplied money, food, and clothing to the unionists. Because of her activities, Moik was arrested repeatedly. She spent time in prison in 1934, 1937, from 1938 to 1941 and 1944. After her release in 1941, she found work as a shorthand typist in a Vienna insurance company.
After the war, in November 1945, Moik was elected as a member of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) in the National Council, to which she belonged from December 1945 to December 1962. Moik wrebuilt the unions in Austria and worked for the concerns of women and social issues. She was in part responsible for the General Social Security Act 1955 and in 1957, the Maternity Protection Act. From 1948 to 1963 she was also the chairman of the Vienna SPÖ women.
Moik, who never married and had no children, died in Bad Vöslau in 1970. She is remembered through several structures, the residential complex Wilhelmine-Moik-Hof in Ottakring, the hall in the headquarters of the Austrian Federation of Trade Unions and the square Wilhelmine-Moik-Platz in Vienna-Leopoldstadt.

# Sarnia: An Island Sequence

Sarnia: An Island Sequence is a set of three pieces for piano solo composed in 1940–41 by John Ireland.
A performance takes about 20 minutes. The pieces are:
* Le Catioroc
* In a May Morning
* Song of the Springtides
Sarnia is an ancient Roman name for the island of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands.
Le Catioroc is a neolithic site in Saint Saviour, Guernsey.
A spring tide is an especially high or low tide. The name has nothing to do with the season of the year, it derives from the meaning "jump, burst forth, rise", as in a natural spring. Spring (and the opposite, neap) tides result from the relative positions of Earth, Moon and Sun. If the Sun and Moon's gravitational effects reinforce each other, there will be a spring tide; if they oppose each other, a neap.
Ireland often visited the Channel Islands. He had composed The Island Spell (the first piece of the three in his 1913 set of piano pieces Decorations) while visiting the island of Jersey in 1912. Sarnia was composed shortly before and after his evacuation from the islands, which were occupied by German forces in 1940, during World War II.

# Magnesium bicarbonate

Magnesium bicarbonate or magnesium hydrogencarbonate, Mg(HCO$_3$)$_2$, is the bicarbonate salt of magnesium. It can be formed through the reaction of dilute solutions of carbonic acid (such as seltzer water) and magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia).
It can be prepared through the synthesis of magnesium acetate and sodium bicarbonate:
       Mg(CH$_3$COO)$_2$ + 2 NaHCO$_3$ → Mg(HCO$_3$)$_2$ + 2 CH$_3$COONa
Magnesium bicarbonate exists only in aqueous solution. Magnesium does not form solid bicarbonate as does lithium. To produce it, a suspension of magnesium hydroxide is treated with pressurized carbon dioxide, producing a solution of magnesium bicarbonate:
       Mg(OH)$_2$ + 2 CO$_2$ → Mg(HCO$_3$)$_2$
Drying the resulting solution causes the magnesium bicarbonate to decompose, yielding magnesium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water:
       Mg$^{2+}$ + 2 HCO$_3$$^−$ → MgCO$_3$ + CO$_2$ + H$_2$O

# Macroeconomic regulation and control

Macroeconomic regulation and control (simplified Chinese: 宏观调控; traditional Chinese: 宏觀調控; pinyin: Hóngguān tiáokòng) often abbreviated Macro-control (simplified Chinese: 宏调; traditional Chinese: 宏調; pinyin: Hóngtiáo) refers to the use of direct government intervention by the central government of the People's Republic of China to cool down the overheated economy. The policy was first introduced in 1993 by Zhu Rongji, Premier of the People's Republic of China and Governor of the People's Bank of China at the time. His policies included collective measures to constrain monetary policy, suppress real estate and stock markets, control inflation, lower supplies of raw materials and reduce domestic consumption. The purpose was to achieve a so-called soft landing of an economy that was growing too fast.
As all these measures can vastly affect the economy and political stability, macro-control has become a hot topic to economic and political observers of the People's Republic of China.
