Newsroom (BBC programme)
Newsroom was the BBC2 channel's main news programme during the 1960s and early 1970s.
The programme began on the day BBC2 started transmission, 20 April 1964 and continued until 1973. The programme was initially broadcast late at night (after 10.30pm) but was moved to a 7.30 - 8.00pm time-slot in 1968. The schedule change was followed by a switch from monochrome to colour transmission; "Newsroom" was, in fact, the first British news programme to be shown in colour.
Until September 1969 it originated from BBC News Studio A at Alexandra Palace, and after this date from Studio N2 at Television Centre.
Various newsreaders presented "Newsroom" over the years, including | 6,123,000 |

Brown lived in Chevy Chase. He served a prison sentence for bribery from 2014 to 2016. His father is Ron Brown, a former United States Secretary of Commerce.
# Early life.
Brown was born in Kassel, West Germany, while his father was stationed there for the Army. He moved to the District of Columbia at age six. He graduated from Mackin Catholic High School in Washington, then received a Bachelor of Science degree from Clark | 6,123,010 |

In 1993, he served as political director of America's Fund, a fund-raising network for political candidates of color.
In 1997, Brown pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor of making a contribution to the 1994 reelection campaign of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy that exceeded the $2,000 limit. He was required to perform 150 hours of community service and pay $7,818 to cover the cost of supervised probation.
Brown considered running for mayor of the District of Columbia in 1998, but he ultimately decided against it, saying his mother was adamantly against it. At the time, he was a lobbyist | 6,123,011 |

for Patton Boggs and president and chief executive of the Ronald H. Brown Foundation.
From 1996 to 2005, Brown was vice chairman of the District of Columbia Boxing and Wrestling Commission. His efforts to bring a Mike Tyson-Lenox Lewis boxing match to the District were ultimately unsuccessful.
In 2005, Brown's wages were garnished by a court for defaulting on payments on a lease of an MCI Center suite. At the time, Brown was a managing partner for the lobbying firm of Alcalde & Fay.
# 2006 mayoral candidacy.
In September 2005, Brown announced the beginning of his campaign for mayor of the District of Columbia. Brown polled at 3 percent in August 2006 and was considered a long shot at best | 6,123,012 |

to become mayor in the election held that year. In an interview, his sister remembered that, at age 9, Brown had expressed his dream to be mayor someday.
After consistently trailing the pack of mayoral candidates, Brown dropped out of the race September 7 and announced his support for another candidate, council chair Linda W. Cropp, saying "I cannot watch a political novice, a man without the courage and strength required to run the city, attempt to steal this race from someone who has seen the city through its worse times." Federal prosecutors later said that Jeff Thompson paid Brown $350,000 to drop out of the race and endorse Cropp.
Cropp lost to Adrian Fenty 57 to 31 percent in the Democratic | 6,123,013 |

primary five days later.
# 2007 council candidacy.
Brown ran to represent Ward 4 on the Council of the District of Columbia. The seat was vacated by Adrian Fenty when he became mayor. Brown lost the May 1 special election in a field of 19 candidates to Muriel Bowser after she received the mayor's endorsement, receiving 27 percent of the vote to Bowser's 40.
Brown later admitted that he accepted a $20,000 illegal donation from Jeff Thompson during this campaign.

ran as an independent candidate. District law allows only three of the five at-large Council seats, including Chair, to be affiliated with the same political party. Chair Vincent Gray and Phil Mendelson, both Democrats, were not up for reelection in 2008, so only one of the seats up for reelection could be won by a Democrat. Democratic incumbent Kwame R. Brown was running for reelection and was likely to win, which made it nearly assured that the other seat up for election would go to a non-Democrat.
Brown later admitted to accepting an illegal $125,000 donation from Jeff Thompson during this campaign.

2012, Brown ran for reelection as an at-large member of the council.
During the campaign, "The Washington Post" reported that Brown had received five notices of foreclosure on his house in Chevy Chase, Washington, D.C. between 1996 and 2010. It was also reported that Brown was delinquent in paying property taxes on his house in January 2011. In April 2011, the Internal Revenue Service filed a lien against Brown for nonpayment of over $50,000 of income taxes between 2004 and 2008.
In July 2012, Brown announced that there had been large unauthorized expenditures. Brown fired his campaign's treasurer, who was indicted for the crime in March 2014. Two months later, Brown said that over $110,000 | 6,123,016 |

was missing from his campaign's bank account, and he apologized to his supporters and contributors. An audit by the Office of Campaign Finance found $126,000 of unreported expenditures and $8,446 in unreported contributions.
Between 2005 and 2010, Brown's driver's license had been suspended several times due to unpaid traffic citations and moving violations.
Independent candidate David Grosso defeated Brown. Grosso received more votes than Brown in wards 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, while Brown received more votes than Grosso in wards 5, 7, and 8.

# Federal prosecution and conviction.
On June 7, 2013, federal prosecutors charged Brown with bribery. Between July 2012 and February 2013, then-Councilmember Brown allegedly sought and accepted $55,000 in cash from representatives of a business to help the business receive contracts and preferential government certification. The representatives were actually undercover employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Brown described it as a "loan arrangement", | 6,123,018 |

not a bribe. The charge was issued with a document that usually indicates that there has been a plea deal. Federal prosecutors sought a $35,000 judgement against Brown.
In February 2014, federal prosecutors said that Jeffrey E. Thompson illegally paid $100,000 of Brown's campaign's bills, to which Brown admitted. Brown also admitted to accepting a $20,000 illegal donation from Thompson during his 2007 campaign and an illegal $125,000 donation from Thompson during his 2008 campaign. Brown was also accused of accepting a bribe from Thompson to drop out of the 2006 election for mayor.
Brown pleaded guilty to the charge of accepting a bribe from the undercover agents. As part of the plea deal, | 6,123,019 |

he did not face charges on accepting bribes and illegal contributions in 2006, 2007, and 2008, allowing him to avoid the minimum 15-year sentence he could have received had he been convicted by a jury.
Prosecutors asked for Brown to be sentenced to 43 months in prison at his sentencing hearing on May 8, 2014. Brown's defense attorneys requested that Brown be sentenced to less than 37 months, less than the minimum sentence under federal guidelines.
On May 29, 2014, Brown was sentenced to 39 months in prison, two years of supervised release, and 200 hours of community service. Brown's attorney said that Brown would not run for public office again.

Hercule Poirot in literature
This page details the books featuring the fictional character Hercule Poirot.
# Hercule Poirot and fictional canon.
The sets of rules involving "official" details of the "lives" and "works" of fictional characters vary from one fictional universe to the next according to the canon established by critics and/or enthusiasts. Some fans of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot have proposed that the novels are set on the date they were published, unless the novel itself gives a different date. It has further been proposed that only works written by her (including short stories, the novels and her play "Black Coffee") are to be considered canon by most fans and biographers. | 6,123,022 |
6867940 | Hercule Poirot in literature | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hercule%20Poirot%20in%20literature | Hercule Poirot in literature
This would render everything else (plays, movies, television adaptations, etc.) as an adaptation, or secondary material. A contradiction between the novels can be resolved, in most cases, by going with the novel that was published first.
An example of this would be the ongoing controversy over Poirot's age. Taken at face value it appears that Poirot was over 125 years old when he died. Though the majority of the Hercule Poirot novels are set between World War I and World War II, the later novels then set him in the 1960s (which is contemporary with the time Agatha Christie was writing even though it created minor discrepancies). Many people believe, from her later works, that Poirot retired | 6,123,023 |
6867940 | Hercule Poirot in literature | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hercule%20Poirot%20in%20literature | Hercule Poirot in literature
from police work at around 50, but this is untrue, because as shown in the short story "The Chocolate Box", he retired at around 30. By accepting the date given in "The Chocolate Box" over later novels, which never gave precise ages anyway, it can be explained why Poirot is around for so long.
Also the debate over Poirot’s family is fuelled mainly by the fact that he mentions a sister in the original publication of "The Chocolate Box" but for some reason this reference was removed from the later editions.
The Poirot books are still under copyright. "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" is now public domain in the US but will not become public domain in the UK until 2046 (70 years after Christie's | 6,123,024 |

In 2014, the Christie estate authorised author Sophie Hannah to write a new Poirot book, "The Monogram Murders".

(1930–1939).
Christie increased her novel production during this time (14 novels, 21 total short stories and one theatre play). Twelve short stories form "The Labours of Hercules". The other short stories listed here take place in this period but were published before and after the publication of "Hercules". The theatre play is named "Black Coffee" and was written by Agatha Christie, who stated a frustration with other stage adaptations of her Poirot mysteries. In 1998, author Charles Osborne adapted the play into a novel.

Phytotelma
Phytotelma (plural phytotelmata) is a small water-filled cavity in a terrestrial plant. The water accumulated within these plants may serve as the habitat for associated fauna and flora. Often the faunae associated with phytotelmata are unique. Some species also are of great practical significance; for example, immature stages of some mosquitoes, such as some "Anopheles" and "Aedes" species that are important disease vectors, develop in phytotelmata.
A rich literature in German summarised by Thienemann (1954) developed many aspects of phytotelm biology. Reviews of the subject by Kitching (1971) and Maguire (1971) introduced the concept of phytotelmata to English-speaking readers. | 6,123,043 |
6867899 | Phytotelma | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phytotelma | Phytotelma
A multi-authored book edited by Frank and Lounibos (1983) dealt in 11 chapters with classification of phytotelmata, and with phytotelmata provided by bamboo internodes, banana leaf axils, bromeliad leaf axils, "Nepenthes" pitchers, "Sarracenia" pitchers, tree holes, and "Heliconia" flower bracts.
A classification of phytotelmata by Kitching (2000) recognizes five principal types: bromeliad tanks, certain carnivorous plants such as pitcher plants, water-filled tree hollows, bamboo internodes, and axil water (collected at the base of leaves, petals or bracts); it concentrated on food webs. A review by Greeney (2001) identified seven forms: tree holes, leaf axils, flowers, modified leaves, fallen | 6,123,044 |
6867899 | Phytotelma | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phytotelma | Phytotelma
n food webs. A review by Greeney (2001) identified seven forms: tree holes, leaf axils, flowers, modified leaves, fallen vegetative parts (e.g. leaves or bracts), fallen fruit husks, and stem rots.
# Etymology.
The word "phytotelma" derives from the ancient Greek roots "phyto-", meaning 'plant', and "telma", meaning 'pond'. Thus, the correct singular is "phytotelma".
The term was coined by L. Varga in 1928.
The correct pronunciation is "phytotēlma" and "phytotēlmata" because of the Greek origin (the stressed vowels are here written as "ē").

Phaëton (Lully)
Phaëton (LWV 61) is a "tragédie en musique" in a prologue and five acts by Jean-Baptiste Lully. Philippe Quinault wrote the French libretto after a story from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". It can be read as an allegorical depiction of the punishment awaiting those mortals who dare to raise themselves as high as the "sun" (i.e. the Sun King).
"Phaëton" was the first lyric tragedy of Lully and Quinault to receive its world premiere at the Palace of Versailles, where it was given without stage machinery on or about 6 January 1683. The Paris Opera also performed it at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal (beginning on 27 April), where it was very successful with the general public. The performances | 6,123,055 |
6867982 | Phaëton (Lully) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phaëton%20(Lully) | Phaëton (Lully)
ceased for thirty days of mourning following the death of the queen on 30 July 1683, but resumed thereafter and continued until 12 or 13 January 1684. The opera was revived at the Palais-Royal in 1692, 1702, 1710, 1721, 1730, and 1742. It was sometimes referred to as "the people's opera", just as Lully's "Isis" came to be called "the musician's opera" (because of its score), and his "Atys", as "the king's opera" (one of Louis XIV's favorite works).
# Synopsis.
Phaëton, the prideful and reckless son of the Sun and the ocean nymph Clymene, is driven to abandon his lover Theona by his ambition for the hand of Libya, daughter of the king of Egypt. On the day of the wedding, Libya's enraged lover | 6,123,056 |
6867982 | Phaëton (Lully) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Phaëton%20(Lully) | Phaëton (Lully)
Epaphus, himself the son of Jupiter, disputes Phaëton's claim to divine lineage. Desiring to prove himself, Phaëton convinces his father to allow him to drive the sun-chariot for one day. In the course of his flight he loses control of the horses, threatening the earth beneath with fiery destruction; Epaphus entreats his father to put an end to the danger, and Jupiter strikes the chariot down with a thunderbolt. Phaëton falls to his death.

Willi Ninja
Willi Ninja (April 12, 1961 – September 2, 2006) was an American dancer and choreographer best known for his appearance in the documentary film "Paris is Burning".
Ninja, a gay man known as the godfather of voguing, was a fixture of ball culture at Harlem's drag balls who took inspiration from sources as far-flung as Fred Astaire and the world of haute couture to develop a unique style of dance and movement. He caught the attention of "Paris is Burning" director Jennie Livingston, who featured Ninja prominently in the film. The film, a critical and box office success, served as a springboard for Ninja. He parlayed his appearance into performances with a number of dance troupes and | 6,123,062 |
6867999 | Willi Ninja | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willi%20Ninja | Willi Ninja
choreography gigs. The film also documents the origins of "voguing", a dance style in which competing ball-walkers freeze and "pose" in glamorous positions (as if being photographed for the cover of "Vogue" magazine).
In 1989, Ninja starred in the music video for Malcolm McLaren's song "Deep in Vogue", which sampled the then-unfinished movie and brought Ninja's style to the mainstream. One year after this, Madonna released her number one song "Vogue", bringing further attention to the dancing style.
# Early life.
Born William Roscoe Leake at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, Willi was a self-taught dancer and was perfecting his voguing style by his twenties. Willi | 6,123,063 |
6867999 | Willi Ninja | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willi%20Ninja | Willi Ninja
was born to a Black mother, and was of mixed racial ancestry, claiming to have Irish, Cherokee, and Asian ancestry in his family. It was from fellow voguers in Washington Square Park that Jennie Livingston first heard his name. While he didn't create the form, he worked at refining it with clean, sharp movements to "an amazing level". His influences included Kemetic hieroglyphics, young Michael Jackson, Fred Astaire, olympic gymnasts, and Asian culture.
# Career.
He participated in Harlem's drag balls with "children" from his House of Ninja. Like other ball "houses", HoN was a combination of extended social family and dance troupe, with Ninja as its Mother. He taught his "children" late into | 6,123,064 |
6867999 | Willi Ninja | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willi%20Ninja | Willi Ninja
the night on the old Christopher Street pier and at the underground clubs.
Ninja was a featured dancer in many music videos including Malcolm McLaren's "Deep in Vogue" and "I Can't Get No Sleep" by Masters At Work featuring India. In 1994, he released his single "Hot" (another Masters At Work production) on Nervous Records. Ninja's later career included runway modeling for Jean-Paul Gaultier, performing with dance companies under Karole Armitage, and providing instruction to Paris Hilton on perfecting her walk. He opened a modeling agency, Elements of Ninja, in 2004, and made an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!". Ninja was also prominently featured in the 1990 documentary "Paris is Burning" | 6,123,065 |
6867999 | Willi Ninja | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willi%20Ninja | Willi Ninja
and the 2006 documentary release "How Do I Look" directed by Wolfgang Busch.
Ninja also danced in two of Janet Jackson's videos from her album "Rhythm Nation 1814", one of which was "Alright", whose remix featured late rap star Heavy D and cameo appearances by Cab Calloway, Cyd Charisse, and The Nicholas Brothers. He also was featured in "Escapade".
Ninja worked hard to care for his mother, Esther Leake, who had Parkinson's and used a wheelchair. Her trips with Ninja to the ballet and the Apollo were inspiration for his later endeavors in dance.
## House of Ninja.
Willi Ninja started the House of Ninja in 1982 despite not having been part of a house previously or winning three grand prizes, | 6,123,066 |
6867999 | Willi Ninja | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willi%20Ninja | Willi Ninja
which was generally seen as a requirement to start a house. The name Ninja came from the house’s Asian and martial arts influences coupled with the fact that people in the ballroom scene did not know who they were and they “seemed to come out of nowhere”. The House of Ninja had a reputation for being multiracial; most houses at the time were African-American, with the notable exception of the Latino House of Xtravaganza. The House of Ninja notably included white men in their competitions. The House of Ninja disbanded in 1988, and despite an attempt by Ninja to reform in 1989, remains a defunct house of Ball Culture.
# Death.
Ninja died of AIDS-related heart failure in New York City on September | 6,123,067 |
6867999 | Willi Ninja | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willi%20Ninja | Willi Ninja
tions. The House of Ninja disbanded in 1988, and despite an attempt by Ninja to reform in 1989, remains a defunct house of Ball Culture.
# Death.
Ninja died of AIDS-related heart failure in New York City on September 2, 2006 at age 45. After his death, he has continued to inspire many artists and music DJs. Ninja is a central figure in scholarship in LGBTQ studies, gender studies, and performance studies for his nonconforming and transgressive gender expression as an artist. His presence is articulated in the book "Black Sexualities" by Juan Battle and Sandra L. Barnes as one example.

6868104 | Business partner | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Business%20partner | Business partner
Business partner
A business partner is a commercial entity with which another commercial entity has some form of alliance. This relationship may be a contractual, exclusive bond in which both entities commit not to ally with third parties. Alternatively, it may be a very loose arrangement designed largely to impress customers and competitors with the size of the network the business partners belong to.
# (partnership formation).
A business partner or alliance can be crucial for businesses. However, businesses can not choose business partners, called business mating, in any way they want. In many instances, the potential partner might not be interested in forming a business relationship. It | 6,123,074 |
6868104 | Business partner | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Business%20partner | Business partner
is important that both sides of the agreement complement each other and have some common ground, for example in management style, mindset, and technology. If, for example, management style would be too different between the firms, then a partnership could be problematic. Kask and Linton (2013) investigate under what conditions business mating (formation) takes place for startup firms seeking business partners.
# Differentiation.
The meaning of the term is quite different from that implied in partnership, and it is because of the potential for confusion between the two that widespread use of 'business partner' has been discouraged at times in the past.
A business partner can be:
- 1. A supplier
- | 6,123,075 |
6868104 | Business partner | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Business%20partner | Business partner
2. A customer
- 3. A channel intermediary (such as an agent or reseller), or
- 4. A vendor of complementary offerings (for example, one party sells the hardware, while the other sells the software)
This is a wider definition than a business alliance.
A business partner is becoming more common in HR departments as it represents the employees position, ideally seeing the HR issues from the employers and employees point of view. Small and medium business are often turning to external HR Business Partners to solve any HR disputes.
# Cohesion.
One example of a business partnership is the "Agility Alliance" originated by Electronic Data Systems. Members of this IT-focused alliance include Microsoft, | 6,123,076 |
6868104 | Business partner | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Business%20partner | Business partner
Oracle Corporation, Sun Microsystems and SAP. This highlights two problems with multi-party partnerships:
- Two of the companies may be partners with a third member of the partnership, but highly aggressive towards each other. (Oracle and SAP compete against each other in the ERP market.)
- One party may be partner to a second party when targeting one market, but competitive against that same company when targeting another market. (Microsoft may be happy to work with Sun when Sun is offering its servers, but far less happy when Sun is proposing OpenOffice.org, in contention with Microsoft Office.)
# Business partner search.
Business partner search or business matchmaking is the process/service | 6,123,077 |
6868104 | Business partner | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Business%20partner | Business partner
of finding buyers/customers, distributors, licensees, and/or other business partners. This can be provided as a paid service by a commercial organization, or as a free service by the commercial section of a country's embassy/consulate or an association of businesses in a particular area.
Customarily, commercial consideration of this service is a one time fee. The fee for this service depends on the business domain, the volume of business of both partners that will end up in a partnership relation as the end result of this service, etc.
In a specific example of a specific domain this fee is found between EUR 1800~2200 depending on the tasks required from the business matchmaker.

6867958 | Vanniyar | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanniyar | Vanniyar
Vanniyar
The Vanniyar, also spelled Vanniya, who were once known as the Palli, are a community or "jāti" found in Southern India.
# Etymology.
Several etymologies for "Vanniyar" have been suggested, including the Sanskrit "vahni" ("fire"), the Dravidian "val" ("strength"), or the Sanskrit or Pali "vana" ("forest"). The term "Palli" is widely used to describe them but is considered to be derogatory.
Alf Hiltebeitel notes that the vanniyars derive their caste name from Vahni. Vahni itself is thought to yield the tamil word Vanni (fire), which is also a tamil name for an important tree. The connection to the sage leads to further associations with mythological legends
# Historical status.
Hiltebeitel, | 6,123,080 |
6867958 | Vanniyar | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanniyar | Vanniyar
who classifies the Vanniyar as Shudra in the Hindu varna system, notes that South Indian society traditionally recognised neither the Kshatriya (warrior) nor Vaishya (provider) varnas, being divided instead between Brahmins on the one hand and Shudras and untouchables on the other. Nonetheless, communities in the region frequently sought to prove a historic higher status, based on myth or occasionally probable history. He notes that "traditions of demotion from a once higher rank are a commonplace of South Indian caste mythologies". Researcher Lloyd I. Rudolph notes that as early as in 1833, the Vanniyar, who were then known as Pallis, had ceased to accept their "low caste" status, also described | 6,123,081 |
6867958 | Vanniyar | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanniyar | Vanniyar
as being Shudra by Christophe Jaffrelot and Kathleen Gough. Gough, however, documenting her fieldwork of 1951-53, records the Palli and the Vanniyar as separate but similar cultivating castes.
The Pallis tried to get an order in Pondicherry that by descent they were not a low agricultural caste. In preparation for the 1871 Indian census they petitioned to be recognised as being of the Kshatriya varna. They formed a number of caste organisations using their preferred name, with the Vanniyakula Kshatriya Maha Sangam appearing in Madras in 1888 and extending state-wide in 1952. By 1931, due to their successful politicking (a process known as sanskritisation), the term "Palli" was removed from | 6,123,082 |
6867958 | Vanniyar | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanniyar | Vanniyar
the Madras census, with the term "Vanniya Kula Kshatriya" appearing instead. The reinvention of their history through sanskritisation, and thus the change in their status to Vanniyar rather than Palli, was evidenced in the community adopting such practices as vegetarianism and prohibiting the remarriage of widows, and what Rudolph terms a "radically revisionist history" was supported by claims of descent from the ancient Pallava dynasty.
According to Hiltebeitel, whilst the mythological claims of origin from the fire lend credence to their demand for being deemed as Khatriyas, the claims to military origins and Kshatriya identity did not solely rely on myths. He notes that they had historically | 6,123,083 |
6867958 | Vanniyar | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanniyar | Vanniyar
adopted various titles and terms that signified a self-image of Kshatriya status, including the "Vanniyar" name itself, and that
The caste has also been significant in the practices of the Draupaudi cult, together with the Konars and Vellalar Mudaliars, and quite possibly were the instigators of it, with the other two communities being later adopters.
In addition to domestic slavery there were number of agricultural labor relationships. According to Ravi Ahuja, Paraiyar or Palli farmhands sometimes called pannaiyals were collectively bound to their home village soil. Pallis mobility was severely restricted but the powers exercised by their masters were also limited such slaves cannot be expelled | 6,123,084 |
6867958 | Vanniyar | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanniyar | Vanniyar
or transferred to another village, even if the masters left the region themselves. As Dharma Kumar, argues the term slavery does not adequately describe the many forms of bondage existing with in the traditional agrarian society. Caste involved a number of criteria slavery like criteria like restriction of freedom, forced labor and ownership.
# Present.
Rudolph noted that, although "necessarily tentative" because of being based on figures from the 1931 census, the Vanniyars in the 1980s constituted around 10 per cent of the population of Tamil Nadu, being particularly prevalent in the northernmost districts of Chingelput, North Arcot, South Arcot and Salem, where they formed around 25 per | 6,123,085 |
6867958 | Vanniyar | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vanniyar | Vanniyar
cent of the population. Traditionally, most Vanniyars are agricultural labourers but they are increasingly benefiting from political influence and organisation and they now own 50 per cent of the lands of the traditional landowners. The Vanniyars who previously were of the Backward Class category, were now designated as a Most Backward Caste after successful agitations by them in the 1980s. The reason for the agitation and subsequent re-classification was to avail more government benefits for the community.
The Pattali Makkal Katchi political party was formed from the Vanniyar Sangam, a caste association. It has been known on occasion for its violent protests against Dalit people.

Vannimai chieftains in what is now Sri Lanka arose from a multi-ethnic and multi-caste background. A primary source, the "Yalpana Vaipava Malai", states that some were descended from Vanniyar caste immigrants from modern Tamil Nadu Some Sri Lankan historians derive the title "Vannimai" from the Tamil word "vanam", meaning "forest", with "Vannia" or "Wannia" meaning "person from the forest", and "Vannimais" being large tracts of forested land.

to Kabul, Lawrence became political assistant to Sir William Hay Macnaghten, the envoy of Afghanistan, and subsequently his military secretary, a post which he kept from September 1839 to the death of his chief. On the surrender of Dost Mahomed Khan, 3 November 1840, he was placed in the charge of Lawrence until he was sent to Calcutta.

of Mahomed Shah Khan.
In the retreat from Kabul, 6 January 1842, Lawrence had charge of the ladies and children, with whom he remained until 8 January, when he was again given up to Akbar Khan as a hostage. With the ladies and children, he was imprisoned and remained with them until their release on 17 September 1842. He owed his safety during this period to the high opinion which Akbar Khan had of his character, and to his strict adherence to all the promises which he made to his captor. Ill-health obliged Lawrence to return to England in August 1843, and shortly after that date the East India Company awarded him £600 in testimony of their sense of his services in Afghanistan.
