Tolls of Highways & TGV (High Speed Trains), the tariffs of transport will increase more than the inflation in February in France.....

Due to hike of market price all countries have faced a problem of economic crisis. To maintain the balance they have taken some necessary actions…. Like other countries France has also faced this crucial problem. To come out from this crisis France has also taken some necessary actions….. So the increase of tolls of highways on Tuesday & tariffs of transport from 8th February 2011 are taken by French Govt. The prices the consumer climbed of 1,5% in France in 2010, according to The INSEE. Tolls of the highways must increase on average by 2,24% at February 1, according to calculations of l' Professional association of the motorways and works road (AFSA). This annual increase is quite higher than that of the last year which was of 0,5%. It varies according to the concessionary companies. Partially it depends on the inflation and a part depending on the “contracts of plan" passed with the State, according to the investments authorized by each company on its network. This year, these two components represent an increase of 1,92%. & 0,32% add to it to compensate for the rise of a tax which comes to finance to balance SNCF & also overdrawn interregional trains (Coral, Téoz, night trains Lunéa…)
The rise of highway tolls of 2012 will be further increased by additional 0,17% to compensate for this " completely tax installation of the territory" which must bring 35 million euros per annum with these trains, according to l' AFSA. Side by side French railways, the SNCF announced from February 8 an average rise of 2,85% of the tariffs of its trains with reservation --TGV, Téoz and Lunéa-- in second class, full price. As for the first classes, they will increase by 3,2% on average. This increase does not relate to the regional trains, whose prices vary in July. French people are not happy with this decision! But as per Govt. order it will implement very soooon….

Unemployment in France......

Now a day’s unemployment is a big issue for all over the World! Each & every country has to face this major problem. As France is also the part of World…. It has also faced the problem of unemployment. The rate of unemployed person increased day by day! In December 2010 it was increased from 32.600 to 4,051 millions! It was a hike of 5.3 %.( announced the ministry of labour). In a recent survey we got that the raise of unemployment increased 1% per month & 3% per year in 2010 & it became 4,309 millions. The President of France Nicolas Sarkozy, has taken some necessary action in January 2010 to avoid the crisis of unemployment in the "semaines et les mois qui viennent" (Weeks and the months which are coming) & hope that which becomes fruit full in 2011! The ministry of Job Xavier Bertrand admitted that 2010 was not good year for jobs! In the queue of unemployment the person those who are more than 50 years, they are 757.000 (+16,3% in a year), more than 25 years they are 630.000 (2,8% in a year). Yannick L'Horty, professor in East Paris, he says, there are three major crisis which followed each other, first one financial crisis which creates economic crisis and economic crisis which creates the unemployment. According to the INSEE, the unemployment rate which had reached a peak with 9,6% of the active population to most extremely of the crisis is stabilized to 9,3% with the third quarters 2010 and should decrease slightly semi-2011 to 9,1% in metropolis. The Unedic, which manages the insurance unemployment counts on a fold of the applicants in order of 130.000 people in 2011.

Canal+(TV Channel of France) and Orange (FranceTelecom) collaborate to merge Orange Cinema series & TPS star

In the field of broadcasting in France Canal+ (Channel Plus) is most popular TV channel. Canal+ is a French premium pay television channel launched in 1984. It is owned by the Canal+ Group, which in turn is owned by Vivendi SA. The channel broadcasts several kinds of programming, mostly encrypted. The un-encrypted programmes can be viewed free of charge on Canal+ and on satellite on Canal+ Clair (Clear).
Canal+ is a supporter of the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV (HbbTV) initiative (a consortium of broadcasting and Internet industry companies including SES Astra, Open TV and Institut für Rundfunktechnik) that is promoting and establishing an open European standard for hybrid set-top boxes for the reception of broadcast TV and broadband multimedia applications with a single user interface.
On the other side Orange is the key brand of France Telecom, one of the world’s leading telecommunications operators. With almost 131 million customers, the Orange brand covers internet, television and mobile services in the majority of countries where the Group operates.
Very recently these two broadcasting Giants had made a tie up in the field of broadcasting. They have also decided a strategic partnership plan to bring the Orange cinema series package and TPS Star together under one joint venture. The business will be owned 50-50 by the two partners and managed by both on an equal basis. The CANAL+ Group will contribute its production skills, while Orange will provide technological expertise to develop interactive and associated transmedia services. They have lots of plans to develop their broadcasting processors & make their programmers attractive to viewers. They are planning to maintain the other four Orange cinema series channels in accordance with the existing production policy while keeping the same names (Orange ciné happy, Orange ciné choc, Orange ciné novo, Orange ciné géants), and should distribute them over their respective networks.
To maintain commitments to promote cinematic creation, especially in France & also
ensure long-term employment for all Orange production and technical employees involved in the Orange channels. It’s really a great renovation in the field of broadcasting industry.

The Painting of Claude Monet is more desirable than Picasso

The Painting is most desirable to the person those who love art. In the world of painting these two names are World famous… one is Claude Monet & another is Pablo Ruiz Picasso. Claude Monet whose real name was Oscar Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926).He was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting Impression, Sunrise (Impression, soleil levant). On the other side we can notice another famous painter Pablo Picasso whose real name was Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso known as Pablo Ruiz Picasso (25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor who lived most of his adult life in France. He is best known for co-founding the Cubist movement and for the wide variety of styles embodied in his work. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica (1937), his portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. These two painters were remarkable in the field of World Painting. But the miracle happened during the recent exhibition of painting of Claude Monet at Grand-Palais in Paris. We could notice the gathering of visitors…it was 910.000, a record of visitors!!! The Gallery was opened four days & three night’s non-stop from 21st January to 24th January 2009& 40,000 people were waiting in the National Gallery of Grand-Palais, reported to The AFP Jean-Paul Cluzel, president of Grand Palais. In a survey we got that the recent exhibition of Picasso "Picasso et les maîtres" it brought 783.000 visitors! It was also four days & three night’s non-stop exhibition. So we can say it was really a great achievement for the paintings of Claude Monet.

New ideas given by NASA for the aircraft of 2025.....

Now a days NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is well know to all. It is an Executive Branch agency of the United States government, responsible for the nation's civilian space program and aeronautics and aerospace research. Since February 2006, it has started as a mission to "pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Recently NASA has discovered three concept designs for quiet, energy efficient aircraft which it says could be ready for flight as soon as 2025. Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and Boeing these three companies came up with their designs & won a contract from the US space agency to research, develop and test their concepts in 2011, (the 'Daily Mail' reported). It’s really a great innovation from NASA. Their main motto behind it to make “super planes” which
are faster, larger, quieter - and burn fuel more efficiently and cleanly than their present aircrafts.

A True relationship between India & France(European Union)

The relationship with Foreign is not the primary step of India. India was one of the first countries to develop relations with the Union, signing bilateral agreements in 1973, when the United Kingdom joined. The Union is India's largest trading partner, accounting for 20% of Indian trade. The European Union (EU) and India agreed on September 29, 2008 at the EU-India summit in Marseille, France's largest commercial port, to expand their cooperation in the fields of nuclear energy and environmental protection and deepen their strategic partnership. Their main motto behind this strategic partnership was to strengthen cooperation on world peace and safety, sustainable development, cooperation in science and technology and cultural exchanges between two countries. Under the joint action plan, EU and Indian would enhance consultation and dialogue on human rights within the UN framework, strengthen cooperation in world peacekeeping mission, fight against terror and non-proliferation of arms, promote cooperation and exchange in developing civil nuclear energy and strike a free trade deal. Apart from other countries France is concentrating more on nuclear power and is a major exporter of nuclear technology, is expected to sign a deal that would allow it to provide nuclear fuel to India. And also a large military and economic trade partner of India. For the permanent member aspirations in the UN Security Council, India gets a strong support from French President Nicolas Sarkozy. India -France trade relationship is one of the remarkable steps for India. India –France trade relations help the development of the Agribusiness and Food-processing Sector in India. So we can say it's a great achievement for India & it can be possible only through a healthy & true relationship.
