Tourism,the Platform of the Future——An Interview with Businesswoman Cheng Xiufang

正The town of Tangke is in the southwest of Zogye County, Ngapa Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. This place in China's Sichuan Province is quite famous as a tourist attraction, as it is where the Yellow River bends the first of nine times throughout the length of its stream. The land is pretty flat and has an abundance of

THE DALAI LAMA SHOULD CHANGE HIS TUNE AGAIN AND ALTER HIS PATH——An Interview with Mr.Zhu Weiqun by Focus Magazine of Germany

<正>On September 9th of 2009, at the request of the reporters for German magazine Focus,Mr.Zhu Weiqun(executive vice minister of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee) gave an interview only on the condition that the main text of the interview was published in Focus.On Oct 5, Focus magazine reported this interview,using only 400 words as translated into Chinese.During the two-hour interview,Mr.Zhu Weiqun gave frank answers to the questions raised by these reporters that covered their areas of interest and also questions of worldwide concern.His talk was cut and thrust.Herewith,we would like to publish it in installments.The following is the second part of this interview.     

Reconstruction of smelting conditions during 16th- to 18th-century copper ore processing in the Kielce region (Old Polish Industrial District) based on slags from Miedziana Góra,Poland

This study presents the first reconstruction of the smelting conditions in 16th- to 18th-century smelters from Miedziana Góra (Holy Cross Mountains, Poland). Based on geochemical (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry/emission spectrometry, X-ray fluorescence) and mineralogical analysis (X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, electron probe micro-analysis) of historical slags, their chemical/phase composition and the basic smelting parameters (temperature, melt viscosity, and oxygen fugacity) were determined. Due to the differences in chemical and phase composition, slags from different smelting stages have been distinguished: hypocrystalline slags (MG6) from speiss/matte production and glassy (MG1–MG5) from matte conversion. In glassy slags, pyroxenes, quartz/cristobalite grains, and aggregates composed of metallic Cu and PbO are dispersed in the glass. Hypocrystalline slags are composed of wollastonites, anorthites, and metallic Cu. The temperature range at which the slags were formed was from ~1100°C (solidus temperature) to 1150–1200°C (liquidus temperature). The silicate melt's viscosity was from log η = 1.19 to 4.42 Pa s (at 1100–1200°C). The higher viscosity of MG1–MG5 slags indicates that, unlike MG6 slags, they were not formed during gravity separation. Information about the phase composition made it possible to determine the oxygen fugacity in the range of log fO₂ = −4 to −12 atm. High oxygen fugacity indicates the oxidizing nature of the smelting process.     

BRINGING THE WISHES OF PEOPLE IN TIBET TO BEIJING——Record on Members of National Committee of CPPCC from TAR in the 5th Session of 12th CPPCC National Committee

<正>Spring has come once again,and as the flowers begin to bud,Beijing welcomes members of the National Committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference(CPPCC)from the Tibet Autonomous Region(TAR)to participate in the 5th session of 12th CPPCC National Committee.These CPPCC members bring the proposals they have worked out based on their comprehensive investigations collected before their arrival in Beijing.The proposals are a compilation of the wishes and voices from the various different sectors of Tibet,and they aim to propel the initiative to develop the Tibet Autonomous     

Tibetans Dwelling in Beijing： Faith Defuses the Misunderstanding of Ethnic Tibetans——Sonam Wangmo - I believe it was I but friends say different

Comparing Beijing and the Tibet Autonomous Region; one is the capital of China, but the other is the snowcapped plateau. Though they are far apart in distance （thanks to the countless mountains and rivers） they are also very close - only one day to reach each other. Years ago, the song ＂At the gold mountain of Beijing＂ sung by Tseten Drama, the famous Tibetan singer, in praise of the political and cultural center. Today, tens of thousands of Tibetans have formed one inseparable part of the many groups in Beijing embracing multiple cultures.
