'''Jacque Jules Garnier''' (, [[Saint-Étienne]] - , [[Gorbio]]), was a French engineer and industrialist.
== Biography ==
[[File:Garniérite_Camp_Des_Sapins.jpg|thumb|<center>Garniérite, Mine de Camps des sapins, Thio, Province Nord, Nouvelle-Calédonie</center>]]
Garnier studied at the [[École nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Étienne|Saint-Étienne School of Mines]] (1860). Upon leaving the School of Mines of Saint-Étienne , he worked for two years at the Steelworks of the Navy and the Railways, then carried out a geological study in Sardinia in 1862. He was sent to [[Nouméa]] as head of the mines department of [[New Caledonia]] in 1863. Until 1866 he traveled the island and discovered a new green [[nickel]] ore, having a large weight percent of nickel oxide,<ref name="Faust">Faust, G.T. (1966) The hydrous nickel-magnesium silicates – The garnierite group. The American Mineralogist, 51, 279-298.</ref> which was named [[Garnierite]] in his honor by his peers.<ref name="Pecora">Pecora, W.T., Hobbs, S.W. and Murata, J.K. (1949) Variations in garnierite from the nickel deposit near Riddle, Oregon. Economic Geology, 44, 13-23.</ref><ref name="Liversidge">Liversidge, A. (1880) Notes upon some minerals from New Caledonia. Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, 14, 227-246.</ref><ref>Garnier, J. (1885) Notice historique sur la découverte des minerai de nickel de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Mémoires et comptes rendus des travaux de la société des ingénieurs civils pp 89-93. https://ift.tt/2yyHcTe> This discovery was formalized at the [[French Academy of Sciences|Paris Academy of Sciences]] in 1876. He also undertook missions in Canada . He received the [[Legion of Honour|Legion of Honor]] at the age of 28.
In 1876, Jules Garnier filed a patent for the industrial exploitation of New Caledonian nickel and participated in the creation of a company (the future [[ERAMET|Société Le Nickel - SLN]]), by having the first nickel plant at Pointe-Chaleix in Nouméa. That same year, he filed a patent in February describing the principles and uses of ferronickel.
In the meantime, as commander of a battalion of volunteers, he took part in the [[Franco-Prussian War|Franco-Prussian War of 1870]]. He was involved in attacks on bridges, railroads, and so on. He experimented with one of his inventions, torpedoes (50 kg) fueled by [[flash cotton]], with effects as devastating as they were useless in a war lost too quickly. Garnier participated in the defense of [[Dijon]].
He led some reflections on urban transport in the capital, proposing construction of an underground train. Later, he did some research in the field both explosives (experienced during the conflict of 1871) and better use of steam (compound system , steam machine gun).
Several trips to North America and more specifically to Canada with his son Gilbert Garnier allow him to demonstrate his patents and processes. Since the nickel steel industry is developing, mining companies in Canada work with Jules Garnier because of his reputation. He was involved in the creation of entire plants as consulting engineer for the Canadian Copper Company (forerunner of the [[Inco]] mining group ).
Engineer-inventor, Jules Garnier is also known for the importance and diversity of his writings. Beyond the "simple" publication of research results and/or various projects, Jules Garnier was also a writer. He published a very large number of articles in the fields of science and technology, but also in journals of geography. His bibliography consists of more than 30 references, including his travelogues, his reference book ''"Le Fer"'' (i.e. "Iron"), and several inventions in various fields. After 1870, he even became secretary of the Geographical Society of Paris.
Jules Garnier died in [[Gorbio]] , March 8, 1904. He is buried in the cemetery of Crêt de Roch in Saint-Étienne. Jules Garnier still remains for New Caledonia, a key character in the [[Nickel mining in New Caledonia|origin of its industrial development]]. A school there, as well as a street in Nouméa bear his name.

Michael Jackson Tribute Show Headed to Broadway in 2020 A musical inspired by the life of late pop singer Michael Jackson will open on Broadway in 2020, Jackson's estate and its producing partner said on Tuesday. The story will be written by two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage, according to a statement from the "Thriller" singer's estate and Columbia Live Stage, co-developers of the untitled production. The show will feature songs from Jackson's extensive catalog of hits, it said. Known as the King of Pop, Jackson died at age 50 in 2009 from an overdose of the anesthetic propofol and sedatives. His estate previously collaborated on a live tribute show by Cirque du Soleil called "Michael Jackson One," which has been running in Las Vegas since 2013. Jackson gained success with songs such as "ABC" and "I'll Be There" as a child singer with his brothers, and later pursued a solo career that earned him worldwide fame and fans with hits such as "Rock With You," "Bad" and "Beat It."

WGM (defunct)

WGM (defunct)
Thomas H. White: Creating new page "WGM (defunct)" for discontinued Atlanta radio station
'''WGM''' was an [[Atlanta, Georgia]] AM radio broadcasting station, operated by the ''Atlanta Constitution'' newspaper from March 17, 1922 to July 29, 1923. Although the station had gained national prominence, it was shut down by its owner after just over a year of operation. Its equipment was donated to [[Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]], where it was used in early 1924 to help set up radio station WBBF (later WGST, now [[WGKA]] AM 920).
==History==
[[File:Atlanta Constitution Radio Department page (06AUG1922).jpg|thumb|250px|right|The ''Constitution's'' weekly "Radio Department" page provided extensive coverage of WGM activities (August 1922)<ref>"The Sunday Constitution's Radio Department", page 3 of the August 6, 1922 issue of the ''Atlanta Constitution''.</ref>]]
In early 1922 there was growing interest by the general public about the introduction of radio broadcasting. On December 1, 1921 the U.S. Department of Commerce, which regulated radio at this time, adopted a regulation formally establishing a broadcasting station category, which set aside the wavelength of 360 meters (833 kHz) for entertainment broadcasts, and 485 meters (619 kHz) for market and weather reports.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2tmJ37A "Alterations and Corrections: Miscellaneous"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', January 3, 1922, page 10.</ref> By the end of the year there were over 500 authorized stations in the United States.
In many communities there was competition to be the first to start a station. In Atlanta both of the two major newspapers, the ''Journal'' and the ''Constitution'', began plans to establish stations.<ref>The ''Journal'' was an afternoon newspaper, while the ''Constitution'' published in the morning. The two papers came under common ownership in 1950, and were merged into the ''Journal-Constitution'' in 2001.</ref> The ''Journal'' would be first to get a station on the air, inaugurating [[WSB (AM)|WSB]] on March 15, 1922. Two days later, on March 17, the ''Constitution'' received its own telegraphed authorization for a broadcasting station, with the randomly assigned call letters '''WGM''', valid for transmitting on both wavelengths.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2lk07r9 "New Stations: Commercial Land Stations"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', April 1, 1922, page 2.</ref> The paper's review of the potential benefits of the new service was enthusiatic: "Although radio news service is still in its infancy, there is every evidence that it is only a question of a very few months when it will be considered as an imperatively necessary source of information." and "It is not a fad. It is an industrial revolution."<ref>"Radio Telephone License Granted to Constitution", ''Atlanta Constitution'', March 17, 1922, pages 1-2.</ref>
WGM's debut broadcast began at 7:00 p.m. that evening. Because the newspaper had not yet procured a radio transmitter, the broadcast was made using a transmitter located at the Georgia Railway and Power company, that it had been using for its own amateur station, 4FT. The newspaper announced that broadcasts from WGM were planned to be conducted nightly, from 7 to 7:30 and 9 to 9:30 o'clock. In addition, the paper predicted that "it is believed that in a very few months there will not be a southern community that will not be hanging on the radio telephone to a man, woman and child during the hours The Constitution is broadcasting".<ref>"Constitution's Radio Service Broadcasted For First Time Friday", ''Atlanta Constitution'', March 18, 1922, page 1.</ref>
Because WSB was also transmitting on 360 meters, the two newspapers had to establish a time sharing agreement allocating broadcast hours. Competition was so fierce between the two that WSB's manager, Lambdin "The Little Colonel" Kay, banned any person who had previously appeared on WGM from broadcasting over WSB.<ref name="rogers">[https://ift.tt/2tmYGvN "The Voice of the South"], ''Peachtree Parade'' by Ernest Rogers, pages 73-75.</ref>
WGM's use of the Georgia Railway and Power transmitter came to an end in late May, when the power company received its own broadcasting station authorization, as WDAW. The newspaper announced that WGM was suspending operations until a new transmitting facility could be constructed.<ref>"WDAW New Call Letters Given Power Company", ''Atlanta Constitution'', May 27, 1922, page 1.</ref> In early July WGM resumed operations from its "radio plant" atop the ''Constitution'' building.<ref>"Leide's Program Introduces WGM", ''Atlanta Constitution'', July 7, 1922, page 14.</ref> (During this pause WGM's license was temporarily deleted,<ref>[https://ift.tt/2li8sf3 "Alterations and Corrections: Commercial Land Stations"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', June 1, 1922, page 8.</ref> then reinstated, with the same call letters and owner.)<ref>[https://ift.tt/2yob6cB "New Stations: Broadcasting Stations"] ''Radio Service Bulletin'', November 1, 1922, page 2.)</ref>
In September 1922 the Department of Commerce set aside a second entertainment wavelength, 400 meters (750 kHz) for "Class B" stations that had quality equipment and programming.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2lkBieZ "Amendments to Regulations: Regulation 57"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', September 1, 1922, pages 10-11.</ref> Both WSB and WGM were assigned to this new wavelength, with WGM introducing the use of its new home-built 500-watt transmitter. In May 1923 additional "Class B" frequencies were made available, with Atlanta allocated 700 kHz,<ref>[https://ift.tt/2yob7NH "Radio Conference Recommendations: New Wave Lengths"], ''Radio Age'', May 1923, page 11. Beginning with these assignments radio stations ended the practice of broadcasting their market reports and weather forecasts on the separate 485 meter wavelength.</ref> and WSB and WGM were reassigned to this new shared frequency.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2yob7NH "Class B Calls and Waves"], ''Radio Age'', June 1923, page 12.</ref> That summer WGM's schedule was reported to be 7 to 8 p.m. and 10:30 to 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time daily except on Wednesdays, which was Atlanta's "silent night" when stations in the area remained off the air in order aid listeners attempting to pick up weak distant signals.<ref>"Distant Concerts", ''Fort Worth Star-Telegram'', August 12, 1923, Radio section, page 3.</ref>
Although WGM was a high-powered station providing extensive and varied programming, on July 22, 1923 a front page ''Constitution'' headline announced that the station would be shutting down at the end of the month, with the station's assets to be contributed to Georgia Tech, so that the college could establish its own station.<ref>"Donation by the Constitution Enables Tech to Institute Advanced Radio Instruction", ''Atlanta Constitution'', July 22, 1922, page 1.</ref> WGM made its final broadcast on the evening of July 29, 1923.<ref>"The Final WGM Concert to be Notable Broadcast", ''Atlanta Constitution'', July 29, 1923, page 5.</ref> The Commerce Department officially deleted the station's license effective August 28, 1923.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2li8sf3 "Strike out all particulars for the following named stations"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', September 1, 1923, page 10.</ref>
Financed largely through the ''Constitution's'' donation, the new Georgia Tech station, WBBF (later WGST, now [[WGKA]])<ref name="first">[https://ift.tt/2llOdxa "New Stations: Broadcasting Stations"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', February 1, 1924, page 3. Although much of the equipment used by WBBF had been inherited from WGM, the Department of Commerce treated WGM and WBBF as separate stations, and current Federal Communications Commission records list January 7, 1924 as WGKA's "first license date".</ref> began operating in early January 1924. During the station's debut broadcast on January 14, college president [[Marion L. Brittain|M. L. Brittain]]'s opening speech lauded "the generosity of Editor [[Clark Howell]] and The Constitution", with the newspaper reporting that Brittain also had "expressed the gratitude of the institution to The Constitution for presenting without cost to Tech the powerful broadcasting equipment".<ref name="sends">"Tech Sends First Message To Radio Fans of America" by Parks Rusk, ''Atlanta Constitution'', January 15, 1924, page 1.</ref>

Although WGM was a high-powered station providing extensive and varied programming, on July 22, 1923 a front page ''Constitution'' headline announced that the station would be shutting down at the end of the month, with the station's assets to be contributed to Georgia Tech, so that the college could establish its own station.<ref>"Donation by the Constitution Enables Tech to Institute Advanced Radio Instruction", ''Atlanta Constitution'', July 22, 1922, page 1.</ref> WGM made its final broadcast on the evening of July 29, 1923.<ref>"The Final WGM Concert to be Notable Broadcast", ''Atlanta Constitution'', July 29, 1923, page 5.</ref> The Commerce Department officially deleted the station's license effective August 28, 1923.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2li8sf3 "Strike out all particulars for the following named stations"], ''Radio Service Bulletin'', September 1, 1923, page 10.</ref>

During the station's debut broadcast on January 14, college president [[Marion L. Brittain|M. L.

Laos Announces Another Controversial Dam on the Mekong
【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2HZi1bO
Laos Announces Another Controversial Dam on the Mekong The Laos government has announced plans for a fourth major dam on the Mekong mainstream just months after the feasibility of another of its hydroelectric projects was thrown into question by a delayed power deal. Laos notified the Mekong River Commission (MRC) last week of its intention to build a 770 megawatt dam at Pak Lay in Xayaburi province, where it has already constructed another highly controversial mainstream dam. The notification follows Thailand's decision in February to delay signing a power purchase agreement for Laos' 912 megawatt Pak Beng. Bangkok is said to be reconsidering its energy strategy in light of a reported electricity surplus. Maureen Harris, Southeast Asia director at International Rivers, an environmental watchdog group, said the government's notification on the Pak Lay dam is unusual. "Firstly, the construction on the project in scheduled to start in 2022, which is over three years away. So that's initiating the process significantly sooner than has been the case for the other projects that have gone through the procedure to date," Harris said. "There's also no developer or power purchaser who has been identified in the notification," she added. Impact concerns Harris suspects there could be some concerns in Laos over the environmental impact of the dams. At a major summit in Cambodia in April, MRC representatives presented the findings of a landmark $4.7 million, scientific assessment of planned developments on a river crucial to fish stocks and food supplies across Southeast Asia. That study found that if current development plans went ahead, 39 to 40 percent of the entire fish biomass -- about $4.3 billion worth -- would be wiped out by 2040 in the Lower Mekong Basin, where about 200 million people rely on the river. Harris suggested the notification looked like a purposeful distraction from unresolved questions over Laos' existing dams, how to apply the MRC Council Study's findings and proposed reforms to the prior notification process itself. The MRC secretariat wrote in an emailed response to VOA that the fact that Laos had engaged in notification and consultation on all its mainstream projects demonstrates it has not disregarded such concerns. "One shall recognize Laos' constructive intent in submission of the project to the prior consultation instead of taking it as inflaming tensions, witnessing a case in the modern time when one state threatens to bomb a dam being built in the upstream area," the secretariat wrote, invoking a hypothetical situation. "The submission is to prevent barbarian conflicts that the [sic] mankind experienced in its past," it wrote. Te Navuth, secretary general of the Cambodia National Mekong Committee, echoed those sentiments, saying that though all of Laos' mainstream dams raised serious issues, those concerns are being handled through the established MRC mechanisms. "The first one was a serious case already. So our concern is a concern overall on fish migrations, on sediment, blocking flow, river regime changing, these more common concerns. "We could not say yes or no to the projects directly, so we have to talk to each other first using the findings from the council study, from any other sources that we have," he said. Nuanlaor Wongpinitwarodom, director of Thailand's Mekong Management Bureau, said she could not comment until she had seen the Laos government submission while representatives of Vietnam's National Mekong Committee did not respond to VOA inquires. The four member countries of the MRC -- Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos -- will now have six months to review the Laos government proposal for Pak Lay and urge strategies to mitigate its impacts but have no authority to stop it being constructed. Economically viable? Conservationists and renewable energy proponents at the April MRC summit heralded the Pak Beng power purchase delay as a "tipping point" in the transition from hydropower to renewables such as solar and wind. It came after a January report from the International Renewable Energy Agency found the so-called "levelized" price of solar generated electricity had plummeted by 73 percent from 2010 to 2017, predicting the cost would halve again by 2020 to become cheaper than hydropower competitors. Pak Lay would not come online until 2029, and the projected cost of the dam is thus far not known. Han Phoumin, a senior energy economist at the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia in Jakarta, said for now, hydro remains a more cost-competitive option, especially given its capacity to provide baseload power and comparative ease of integration into existing infrastructure. "But if the timeline's until 2029, I think the development of storage for solar and wind could be viable. In that case, I think it will provide a very important role as baseload power. In that case, I think they could, to some point, beat the hydro," Phoumin said. Selling the power generated by Pak Lay would not be a problem, he said, given that energy demand in the region is expected to increase over that time frame by about two to three times while ASEAN grid interconnectivity will continually expand to available markets. Securing upfront investment first though might be another story. "The investor must have very strong backup already, perhaps we need to explore because the project cannot go ahead without a strong kind of PPA (power purchasing agreement) or off-taker agreement," he said.

Velvikudi inscription
Utcursch: fmt
The '''Velvikudi inscription''' is an 8th-century bilingual inscription from the [[Pandya dynasty|Pandya kingdom]] of southern India. Inscribed in [[Sanskrit]] and [[Tamil language|Tamil]] languages, it records the Pandya king Nedunjadaiyan's renewal of a [[brahmadeya|grant]] of the Velvikudi village to a [[brahmin|brahmana]].
== Physical features ==
The inscription is in form of ten [[Indian copper plate inscriptions|copper plates]], each measuring 27.5 x 8 cm. The plates are held together by a thin copper ring, without a seal. [[British Museum]]'s ''Indian charters on copper plates in the Department of Oriental Manuscripts and Printed Books'' (1975) states that these copper plates were found at Madakulam.
== Date ==
The grant recorded in the inscription was probably made in 769-770 CE, but there is some controversy about its actual date.
== Language ==
The inscription features [[Sanskrit]] language inscribed in [[Grantha script]] (lines 1-30 and 142-150), and [[Tamil language|Tamil]] language inscribed in [[Vatteluttu script]] (lines 31-141 and 151-155). The Tamil portion also uses the Grantha script for words of Sanskrit origin, but the spelling of these words is sometimes influenced by the rules of Tamil orthography. The sequential numbers on the copper plates are inscribed in the Grantha script.
The Sanskrit portion was composed by Varodayabhatta, who is described as "a performer of all sacrifices" (''Sarvakratuyajin''). The Tamil portion was composed by ''[[Senapati]]'' Enadi alias Chattan Chattan.
The inscription includes ''[[prashasti]]'' (eulogy) portions written in both Sanskrit and Tamil. In the earlier inscriptions from the Tamil-speaking region, issued by the [[Pallava dynasty|Pallavas]], the ''prashasti'' portion is written only in Sanskrit while the use of Tamil is restricted to the transactional portions. The later inscriptions, issued by the [[Chola dynasty|Cholas]], also follow the Pallava model. The Velvikudi inscription is the earliest extant inscription that features ''prashasti'' portions written in both Sankrit and Tamil, a model also followed in other Pandya inscriptions, such as the Larger [[Chinnamanur]] (Sinnamanur) inscription and the [[Dhalavaipuram]] (Dalavayapuram) inscription. This appears to be the result of the Pandya attempts to raise the status of the Tamil language.
[[H. Krishna Sastri]], who first edited and translated the inscription, suggested that the Sanskrit part may have been added later to give the inscription a "dignified appearance". However, this is unlikely, because similar Sanskrit portions also appear in other near-contemporary Pandya inscriptions. Moreover, the Tamil text of the Velvikudi inscription does not start on a new copper plate, but in the middle of the reverse of the third copper plate. The Sanskrit text that appears at the end of the inscription begins on the reverse of the ninth copper plate, but it is followed by Tamil text starting in the middle of the last copper plate.
== Content ==
=== Sanskrit portion: Mythical genealogy ===
The inscription begins with a Sanskrit portion that invokes the god [[Shiva]], and describes the mythical lineage of the Pandya kings, naming the sage [[Agastya]] as their family priest. It states that at the end of the previous ''[[kalpa (aeon)|kalpa]]'' (age), a king named Pandya ruled the coastal region. At the beginning of the present ''kalpa'', this king Pandya was reborn as [[Budha]], the son of the [[Chandra|Moon]]. Budha's son [[Pururavas]] introduced the dynasty's emblem - a pair of fish, and shared his throne and taxes with [[Indra]]. Pururavas' descendant Maravarman was a patron of the learned, who conquered several enemies and gave away heaps of gold.
Maravarman's son Ranadhira was an able ruler like his ancestors, and Ranadhira's son Maravarman (II) alias Rajasimha was a powerful, prosperous, truthful and learned ruler. The enemy king Pallavamalla ran away from the battlefield when faced with Rajasimha, wondering if the Pandya king was Shiva, [[Vishnu]], or [[Indra]]. Rajasimha generously distributed his wealth among the [[brahmin|brahmanas]], beggars and temples. He married the daughter of the Malava king, and their son was the next ruler, Jatila. (Sastri identified Malava with modern Mala-nadu.) Jatila alias Parantaka was almost equal to [[Kartikeya|Skanda]], the son of Shiva.
=== Tamil portion: Historical context ===
The Tamil portion begins with the description of a past event: Narkorran ([[Tamil Lexicon]]: Naṟkoṟṟan), a [[brahmin|brahmana]] of the Paganur-kurram and a headman of [[Korkai]], completed a Vedic sacrifice with the help of the Pandya king Palyaga Mudukudimi Peurvaluti (Palyāka Mutukuṭumi Peruvaḻuti). The spot of the sacrifice was named Velvikudi (Vēḷvikkuṭi, modern identity uncertain). Based on a petition from the brahmanas of Paganur-kurram, the king granted the village to Narkorran.
Subsequently, a [[Kaliyuga|Kali]] king named Kalabhran (identified with the [[Kalabhras]]) conquered the whole Pandya country, including Velvikudi. After some time, the Pandya king [[Kadungon]] recaptured his ancestral territory from the enemies. Kadungon's son was [[Avani Sulamani|Avani Sulamani Maravarman]], whose son was [[Jayantavarman|Seliyan Vanavan Sendan]].
The next king in the line, [[Arikesari Maravarman|Arikesari Asamasaman Maravarman]], won a battle at Pali by driving into a herd of war elephants; defeated the ocean-like army of Vilveli at Nelveli; destroyed the [[Paravas|Paravar]] who did not seek refuge with him; annihilated the race of the people of Kurunadu; won a battle at Sennilam by driving into a herd of war elephants; defeated the king of [[Kerala Kingdom|Kerala]] several times at the strongly-fortified town of [[Puliyoor|Puliyur]]; performed in the ''hiranyagarbha'' and ''tulabhara'' gift-giving ceremonies; and protected the brahmanas and the infirm.
Seliyan Sendan's son [[Kochadaiyan Ranadhiran|Sadaiyan]] (Caṭaiyaṉ), the lord of [[Kongu Nadu|Konga]], bore the titles Tenna-Vanavan, Sembiyan, Solan and Madura-Karunatakan. Sadaiyan won a battle at Marudur; defeated Ayavel in the battles at Sengodi and Pudankodu; and destroyed the ''[[maharathi (warrior)|maharathi]]s'' at Mangalapuram. He stamped the symbols of bow, tiger and fish on [[Mount Meru]] (these are the symbols of the Chera, Chola and Pandya countries; thus, the inscription suggests that he held supreme authority over the Chera, Chola and Pandya territories).
Sadaiyan's son [[Maravarman Rajasimha I||Ter-Maran]] defeated the enemies at Neduvayal, Kurumadai, Manni-Kurichchi, Tirumangai, Puvalur, and [[Kodumbalur]]. He defeated the Pallava king at Kulumbur, capturing the enemy's elephants and horses. He defeated his enemies at Periyalur, crossed the Kaviri ([[Kaveri River]]), and subdued the Mala-Kongam country. He reached [[Kodumudi|Pandi-Kodumudi]], and worshipped Pashupati ([[Shiva]]). He established a marital alliance with the Gangaraja. He performed the gift-giving ceremonies ''Gosahasra'' (gift of cows), ''hiranyagarbha'', and ''tulabhara''. He relieved the distriess of those who studied the Vedas, and repaired the fortifications at Kudal, [[Vanchi|Vanji]] and [[Uraiyur|Koli]].
Ter Maran's son Parantaka Nedunjadaiyan (the issuer king) was a respected, merciful and militarily powerful king, who loved the learned people (''pandita-vatsala''), and equalled [[Shraddhadeva Manu|Manu]]. He was like death to his enemies (''parantaka''), like [[Arjuna|Partha]] in wielding the bow, like [[Kinnara]] in music. He defeated the [[Kadava dynasty|Kadava]] ruler at Pennagadam, forcing the enemy king to flee to the forest. He also won a battle at Nattukkurumbu, forcing the Ayavel and the Kurumbas to flee to the forest.
=== Tamil portion: Grant ===
The Velvikudi inscription provides the earliest extant reference to the establishment of a [[Brahmadeya]] (land grant to a [[brahmin|brahmana]]) in the Tamil-speaking region. It records Nedunjadaiyan's renewal of a grant made by his purported ancestor, the ancient Pandya king Palyaga Mudukudimi Peurvaluti.
The inscription states that during the third year of Nedunjadaiyan's reign, a man arrived at the Pandya capital Kudal (Kūṭal or [[Madurai]]), and complained that Velvikudi had not been returned to Narkorran's descendants after the end of the Kalabhra interregnum. The king asked the complainant to prove the antiquity of the grant, which the complainant did. The king then granted the Velvikudi village to Kamakkani Narchingan (Kāmakaṇi Naṟchiṅgaṉ) alias Suvaran Singan, the headman of Korkai. The headman kept the one-third of the village for himself, and distributed the remaining part among fifty other brahmanas.
=== Sanskrit portion: imprecatory verses ===
The Sanskrit portion at the end names Mangalaraja Madhuratara as the ''ajnapti'' of the grant, describing him as a ''[[vaidya|vaidyaka]]'', a master of the [[shastra]]s, a poet and an orator. TThis portion ends with four [[Vaishnavite]] imprecatory verses (cursing those who violate the grant deed).
=== Tamil portion: Colophon ===
The Tamil portion at the end states that the inscription was engraved by the order of the king himself, and names the engraver as Yuddhakesari Perumbanaikkaran. The engraver was alloted a house site, a [[paddy field|wet field]] and a dry field.
== Historicity ==
The Sanskrit portion of the inscriptions mentions three immediate predecessors of the current king (four generations in total), while the subsequent Tamil portion mentions six such ancestors (seven generations in total). These numbers appear to have been determined by convention: the other near-contemporary inscriptions from the region variously name either four or seven generations of kings.

While the inscription presents the issuer king Nedunjadaiyan as a descendant of Palyāka Mutukuṭumi Peruvaḻuti, but this may be a false claim. It is possible that the Pandya dynasty established by Nedunjadaiyan's ancestor Kadungon was probably distinct from the ancient Pandya dynasty.

Norway Tests Tiny Electric Plane, Sees Passenger Flights by 2025

Norway Tests Tiny Electric Plane, Sees Passenger Flights by 2025 Norway tested a two-seater electric plane on Monday and predicted a start to passenger flights by 2025 if new aviation technologies match a green shift that has made Norwegians the world's top buyers of electric cars. Transport Minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen and Dag Falk-Petersen, head of state-run Avinor which runs most of Norway's airports, took a few minutes' flight around Oslo airport in an Alpha Electro G2 plane, built by Pipistrel in Slovenia. "This is ... a first example that we are moving fast forward" towards greener aviation, Solvik-Olsen told Reuters. "We do have to make sure it is safe - people won't fly if they don't trust it." He said plane makers such as Boeing and Airbus were developing electric aircraft and that battery prices were tumbling, making it feasible to reach a government goal of making all domestic flights in Norway electric by 2040. Asked when passenger flights in electric planes could start, Falk-Petersen, the pilot, said: "My best guess is before 2025 ... It should all be electrified by 2040." The two said the plane, with a takeoff weight of 570 kg (1255 lb), was cramped and buffeted by winds but far quieter than a conventional plane run on fossil fuels. Norway tops the world league for per capita sales of electric cars such as Teslas, Nissan Leafs or Volkswagen Golfs, backed by incentives such as big tax breaks, free parking and exemptions from road tolls. In May 2018, 56 percent of all cars sold in Norway were either pure electric or hybrids against 46 percent in the same month of 2017, according to official statistics. Norway, a mountainous country of five million people where fjords and remote islands mean many short-hop routes of less than 200 kms, would be ideal for electric planes, Solvik-Olsen said. Also, 98 percent of electricity in Norway is generated from clean hydro power. Some opposition politicians said the government needed to do far more to meet green commitments in the 200-nation Paris climate agreement. "This is a start ... but we have to make jet fuel a lot more expensive," said Arild Hermstad, a leader of the Green Party. The first electric planes flew across the English Channel in July 2015, including an Airbus E-Fan. French aviator Louis Bleriot who was first to fly across the Channel, in 1909, in a fossil-fuel powered plane. Electric planes so far have big problems of weight, with bulky batteries and limited ranges. Both Falk-Petersen and Solvik-Olsen said they had been on strict diets before the flight. "My wife is happy about it," Solvik-Olsen said.

France's Macron Sets Out Corporate Law Shake-up in Reform Bill

France's Macron Sets Out Corporate Law Shake-up in Reform Bill France's finance minister promised to cut red tape on companies, open up more financing for them and create incentives for employee profit-sharing under a new bill presented on Monday. The proposed law is part of President Emmanuel Macron's pro-business reform drive that has already eased labour laws and cut companies' and entrepreneurs' taxes. "The law's ultimate objective is more growth and the creation of a new French economic growth model," Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told reporters. Le Maire said that by 2025 the overhaul of French corporate law was expected to boost overall gross domestic product by one percent over the long term. The new law aims to address one long-standing complaint from business owners about a complex system that imposes new charges in multiple stages as companies increase their workforce. The bill would simplify the system, Le Maire said, by halving the number of those stages to three — bringing in new charges and obligations when a company has 11, 50 and then 250 employees. It would also make it easier, cheaper and faster to register a company, giving entrepreneurs a single online platform to replace the current round of seven administrative bodies. Liquidation of insolvent companies will be sped up so business owners can move on and bankruptcy law will give more power to creditors who have a stake in seeing the firm survive, the minister added. The government aims to boost the more than 220 billion euros French people currently hold in long-term retirement savings, which it hopes will make more funds available to be invested in companies' capital. To do that, employees' voluntary contributions will largely be made tax-deductible for all types of savings products and they will be able to transfer savings from one money manager to another at no cost, potentially boosting competition, according to a statement on the bill. The government aims to make profit-sharing much more common in small companies by scrapping charges employers currently have to make on payouts to employees. Largely because of that measure, the new law is expected to cost the government 1.2 billion euros annually, which Le Maire said would be paid for by planned cuts in subsidies to companies. The law also sets the stage for several large privatizations with the proceeds already earmarked for a new 10 billion euro innovation fund. It will in particular lift legal restraints on selling down stakes in airport operator ADP and energy group Engie while allowing the national lottery FDA to be privatized. While some left-wing and far-right politicians have said the sales amounted to selling the family jewels, Macron's party has a sufficiently large parliamentary majority to pass the bill with little trouble early next year.

Spain's Government to Remove Franco's Remains from Mausoleum

Spain's Government to Remove Franco's Remains from Mausoleum The remains of fascist dictator Francisco Franco could soon be removed from a state-funded mausoleum under a plan by Spain's new socialist government to transform the monument into a place to remember the civil war rather than glorify the dictatorship. This would be the latest of a raft of high-profile measures launched by Spain's new Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to cement his power and lure left-wing voters ahead of a general election due by mid-2020. Sanchez, who toppled his conservative predecessor Mariano Rajoy in a confidence vote last month, controls less than a quarter of the seats in parliament. "The decision about exhuming Franco's remains is quite clear," Oscar Puente, a senior member of the socialist party who is close to Sanchez, told a news conference. The civil war still casts a shadow over the country nearly eight decades after its end. Lack of accountability for the war has left wounds unhealed, and pressure has grown to turn the site into a memorial honoring those who died on both sides. Puente said the government's plans were to transform the state-funded Valley of the Fallen mausoleum into "a place of recognition and memory of all Spaniards." The 150-meter cross of the monument, built by prisoners of war, towers over the Guadarrama Sierra, a mountain range just outside Madrid. Opened by Franco himself in 1959, the Valley houses a Catholic basilica set into a hillside, where the founder of Spain's fascist Falange party, Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, is also interred. It has long been a site of pilgrimage for far-right groups in Spain. The conservative People's Party has opposed attempts to exhume Franco's body when they were in power, saying it would only stir up painful memories more than four decades after his death and nearly 80 years after the end of the war. The Spanish parliament, however, passed a motion last year to remove Franco's remains as well as those of tens of thousands of other people buried at the mausoleum. Many of those interred there fought for the losing Republican side and were moved to the monument under Franco's dictatorship without their families' permission.

Trump's Likely Midterm Focus: Peace and Prosperity
【Move to another page】

Trump's Likely Midterm Focus: Peace and Prosperity U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to focus on peace and prosperity as he makes his case for congressional Republicans in this year's midterm election campaign. Although the president is not on the ballot this year, the stakes in November are enormous for him. Republican control of both the Senate and House of Representatives is at stake, and the loss of one or both chambers could have profound implications for Trump's re-election bid in 2020. Opposition Democrats expect to gains seats in the House this year and need a pickup of 23 seats to claim the majority. The odds are a bit longer for them to win back control of the Senate, since Democrats are defending many more seats than Republicans, including several in states that supported Trump in 2016. Defying history Trump is hoping to turn the tables on history this year by helping Republicans limit their losses and retain majorities in both chambers. Midterms traditionally have been unkind to presidents just two years in office, and depending on the president's approval rating, the losses can range from 20 to 30 House seats. Trump has been quick to hail the strong U.S. economy at most of his speaking events, and he is counting on the pictures from his recent summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to convey the image of a peacemaker. "China has been terrific. President Xi has been terrific. President Moon, everybody. We are all working together because of me," Trump said in an unusual freewheeling exchange with reporters outside the White House last Friday. He was referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping and South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Immigration outcry Staying on the peace and prosperity campaign track will not be easy, however. In recent days, Trump and his administration have been on the defensive over their zero tolerance approach to illegal immigration across the U.S. southern border, including the separation of children from parents. The issue has sparked a firestorm of criticism from Democrats and some notable Republicans, as well. "These are the misdeeds of an administration speaking in our name that appears to lack a moral compass," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat from New York. Nadler was one of several Democrats who visited a detention center in New Jersey on Sunday. Other critics include former first lady Laura Bush, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and the Rev. Franklin Graham, one of the president's early evangelical Christian supporters. The president, along with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, all defended the tough approach on Monday. "The United States will not become a migrant camp," Trump said at a White House event. Nielsen told a sheriff's meeting in New Orleans that her department will not apologize for enforcing the law. "We have to do our job. We will not apologize for doing our job. We have sworn to do this job." A new Quinnipiac University poll found that Americans oppose the Trump policy of separating children from parents by a margin of 66 percent to 27 percent. The survey found that Republican voters support the policy by a 55 percent to 35 percent margin. Trump front and center Trump is expected to be perhaps the central issue in this year's congressional election campaign, and Republican candidates such as Katie Arrington in South Carolina are eager to embrace him. "We are the party of President Donald J. Trump," Arrington told supporters after defeating Republican Congressman Mark Sanford in a recent primary. Sanford has been critical of some of the president's policies. It was the latest sign that crossing Trump could have severe consequences within the Republican Party. A few Republicans are chafing under the urgings of Republican congressional leaders to be careful about taking on the president, especially retiring Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker. "It is not a good place for any party to end up with a cult-like situation as it relates to a president," Corker said last week. Poll numbers Trump's historically low poll ratings have improved of late, but he remains politically vulnerable as the midterms draw near, said Gallup pollster Frank Newport. "So, Trump's ratings are not great by any means. Any president wants to have above-50 percent approval ratings, majority approval, and Trump doesn't at 42, 43 percent. But he is not that far out of sync with several presidents after one year in their presidency." The latest weekly Gallup Poll has Trump with 45 percent approval and a 50 percent disapproval rating, his highest marks in that poll since March of 2017. Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama also suffered midterm election setbacks in their first terms, a pattern that could repeat for Trump, this year. "The evidence is that Democrats as a whole are more enthusiastic about the midterms than Republicans are," said Brookings Institution analyst William Galston. "And also, you have history. Typically, the president's party loses ground in the elections that come the first two years after his election." Trump's expected focus on peace and prosperity for the midterm campaign is likely a trial run for his re-election bid in 2020.

Politics of Zhangjiajie
Huangdan2060: ←Created page with 'The '''Politics of Zhangjiajie''' in Hunan province in the People's Republic of China is structured in a dual party-government system like all other...'
The '''Politics of [[Zhangjiajie]]''' in [[Hunan]] province in the [[People's Republic of China]] is structured in a dual party-government system like all other governing institutions in [[mainland China]].
The Mayor of Zhangjiajie is the highest-ranking official in the People's Government of Zhangjiajie or Zhangjiajie Municipal Government. However, in the city's dual party-government governing system, the Mayor has less power than the Communist Party of Zhangjiajie Municipal Committee Secretary, colloquially termed the "CPC Party Chief of Zhangjiajie" or "Communist Party Secretary of Zhangjiajie".

Reports: Britain's May Plans Health Service Boost
【Move to another page】

Reports: Britain's May Plans Health Service Boost British Prime Minister Theresa May will pledge a cash boost to the National Health Service, to be funded partly from tax hikes and partly from money that will no longer be going to the European Union after Brexit, newspapers reported Saturday. May will pledge to increase the NHS budget by 20 billion pounds ($26.6 billion) a year, or 384 million pounds a week, after Brexit, according to front-page reports in the Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph and Observer, which were published late Saturday. The announcement, timed to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS, which delivers care for free to everyone living in Britain, aims to foster unity in the government and the country after two years of bitter divisions over Brexit, the reports said. An official spokeswoman from May's No. 10 Downing Street said she did not have the details available. She said the reports were the result of unofficial briefings by special advisers. Downing Street had earlier said May would deliver a speech about the NHS on Monday, giving no further details. Special advisers are known to sometimes brief the content of speeches to newspapers ahead of time for their own purposes. The NHS budget increase was expected to take place over five years, reaching the full amount in 2023-24, the newspapers said. Britain's official exit date from the European Union is March 29, 2019. Pro-Brexit claim During the 2016 referendum campaign on EU membership, the pro-Brexit camp claimed that Britain was sending 350 million pounds a week to the EU and should spend that money on the NHS instead. The claim was controversial because the figure of 350 million pounds did not take into account Britain's sizable rebate or the payments that were flowing back from the EU to Britain, so it was widely seen as overstating Britain's contribution to the bloc. The newspapers said the 384 million-a-week pledge was politically significant from May — who campaigned against Brexit in 2016 and has been under pressure from hard-line Brexiters ever since to prove her conversion to the cause — because it went above and beyond 350 million. Jeremy Hunt, the health minister who also campaigned for Britain to remain in the EU, was quoted by the Sunday Telegraph as saying that the new pledge "can now unite us all." The newspaper said the precise details of how the spending increase would be funded would be disclosed in a future government budget.
