Among them, the bronzes labeled "Forty-second-year Lai ding" ~ ~ (of which there are two pieces), "Forty-third-year Lai ding" (ten pieces), and "Lai pan" ~~ (one piece) have in­ scriptions that are particularly long for inscriptions from the Western Zhou period and run respectively to 281, 316 and 372 characters in length. The inscription of the "Lai pan," containing 372 characters, is divided into two parts, the first part is narrated from Lai's point of view but employs the third-person voice, opening with the phrase, "Lai said." The second part records an appointment (ceming :IlJt frJ) ceremony that opens, "The King said." The very exceptional first part records the service of generations of Lai's ancestors to successive Zhou Kings. The inscription mentions eleven former kings, King Wen X3:., King Wu TIk3:., King Cheng JIlG3:., King Kang *3:., King Zhao BR3:., King Mu ~~3:., King Gong *3:., King Yi i~3:., King Xiao ~(~)3:., King Yi 1J$(~)3:., King Li Jj1U (J~)3:.

The data were based on the RVSM approval database by the end of March, 2016. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Long Term Height Monitoring Impact Statement developed by RASMAG was endorsed by APANPIRG/20 in September 2009. In RASMAG/11 meeting China RMA provided the burden list to the meeting, and this paper is the update for the data. 2. DISCUSSION 2.1 In the last version for the monitoring burden list of China RMA, there were 61 operators with 2608 aircrafts and the biennial monitoring number is about 329. Because of the rapid development for the Chinese Civil Aviation, by the end of March, 2016, there were 77 operators with 2860 aircrafts. 2.2 Every year the monitoring plan of China RMA will be published and sent to the operators every month. The first time of publishing the plan is confirmed at the beginning of each year and it is adjusted in the middle of the year based on the progress. 2.3 Since 2008 China RMA has been using two sets of EGMU to conduct on-board monitoring for Chinese Airlines.

  • AVIC AG600 "Kunlong"
    This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] AVIC AG600 "Kunlong" The AG600 (Jiaolong 600) is a large amphibian powered by four Zhuzhou WJ6 turboprop engines. Development started in 2009 and construction of the prototype in 2014. The first flight took place on 24 December 2017. The aircraft can be used for fire-fighting (it can collect 12 tonnes of water in 20 seconds) and SAR, but also for transport (carrying 50 passengers over up to 5,000 km). The latter capability could give the type strategic value in the South China Sea, which has been subject to various territorial disputes.

In The Eye Of The Selector: Ancient-Style Prose Anthologies In Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) China Abstract The rapid growth of woodblock printing in sixteenth-century China not only transformed wenzhang (“literature”) as a category of knowledge, it also transformed the communities in which knowledge of wenzhang circulated. Twentieth-century scholarship described this event as an expansion of the non-elite reading public coinciding with the ascent of vernacular fiction and performance literature over stagnant classical forms. Because this narrative was designed to serve as a native genealogy for the New Literature Movement, it overlooked the crucial role of guwen (“ancient-style prose,” a term which denoted the everyday style of classical prose used in both preparing for the civil service examinations as well as the social exchange of letters, gravestone inscriptions, and other occasional prose forms among the literati) in early modern literary culture. This dissertation revises that narrative by showing how a diverse range of social actors used anthologies of ancient-style prose to build new forms of literary knowledge and shape new literary publics.

That few companies actually live up to the HR cliché, “our greatest asset is Wour people” is testament to the destructive obsession of performance reporting to Wall Street. UPS Founder Jim Casey believed that people who owned a stake in his company would have a greater incentive to make it successful. Not an original concept, but certainly by the time the company went public in November 1999, the management and supervisor-owned business was extremely successful. So it was no surprise that its initial public offering was oversubscribed. For the fi rst time any- body could benefi t from a business culture that hade survived and prospered despite two World Wars and the Great Depression. UPS says its move from employee to public ownership was the need for additional capital to fuel growth.
