Karthik is a rich post graduate from ISB who completes his studies. He rejects his job offer and requests his father for a one-year break. He returns to India after a world tour. One day, he spots Nandana and falls head over heels for her. However Nandana develops hatred for Karthik. When Karthik proposes to her, she rejects him point blank. Karthik's marriage was arranged with Nandana but unfortunately, he does not know this. The bride accidentally turns out to be Nandana. Karthik's maternal uncle Pandu returns from Dubai and because of his hatred towards Karthik, he plans to take revenge by jeopardizing his match when he finds out that Karthik actually loves Nandana, but Karthik finds out the truth and accepts to marry her. She is not interested in this marriage but she does not want to oppose her father due to her love for him. When she tries to reject the marriage, both their parents complete the procedures and they are pronounced engaged.

Karthik has been writing a book titled Oka Laila Kosam which is a collection of his experiences with Nandana. Meanwhile, Karthik meets his friend at a pub and learns that she is being blackmailed by a goon regarding their private moments. Karthik fights the goons with his friends and solves the issues. Nandana is unable to get convinced that Karthik's love is sincere and believes that he is a flirt. The book Oka Laila Kosam gets published and Karthik is paid an amount of 25,000. As a part of his attempts to impress her, Karthik gets a star named as Nandana by acquiring a star certificate from International Star Registry with the money he earned. Though initially happy, she still is unable to believe him and tears the certificate into pieces. But she is unable to reject Karthik as she can't let her father disappointed by doing so. That night Karthik was drunken and was brutally attacked by a goon.

On the day of marriage, at the venue, the police arrest Karthik for murdering the goon. Thus the marriage is halted much to the delight of Nandana. Before leaving, Karthik asks her whether she is happy now at least and leaves with a smile. This puzzles Nandana and it is known later that the case and arrest were fake and were planned by Karthik himself with the help of a rich businessman whose daughter's successful love affair had Karthik as the peace maker. Nandana meanwhile receives the book Oka Laila Kosam from Shahrukh who credits its writer as the owner of the pigeons she has. She reads the book which is her story and learns Karthik' sincerity from the words in the book. She meets Karthik and proposes to him before their respective families and they both unite.

Production

Development

Vijay Kumar Konda was inspired by an incident that happened in Warangal a few years ago which was an acid attack on a girl named Swapnika by a cruel boy and developed a story where a boy persuades a girl to love him in a good way. He met Nagarjuna on the sets of Manam and narrated it to him and Naga Chaitanya. The project was announced officially in late July 2013 stating that the film would be produced by Nagarjuna himself on his home banner Annapoorna Studios. In early December 2013, the film was said to be titled as Oka Laila Kosam, which was the title of a song from Naga Chaitanya's grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao's Ramudu Kaadu Krishnudu. The film was formally launched at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad on 12 December 2013. The film's cast and crew were declared at the event. The music was composed by Anoop Rubens. Cinematography was handled by I Andrews while editing was done by Praveen Pudi. Art director was P. S. Varma, fights were composed by Vijay and costumes were designed by Neeraja Kona. In a statement to the IANS, Vijay Kumar said that the film would have a healthy humor suitable for family viewing as he felt that not everybody were comfortable with the homosexual jokes in his debut film.

Casting
In early October 2013, 2010 Miss Universe runner up Pooja Hegde was selected to play the heroine in the film marking her Telugu debut. Former anchor turned actor Shyamala was selected to play Naga Chaitanya's sister in the film which was supposed to be her debut as an actress though Loukyam released earlier. About his character in the film, Naga Chaitanya said that he is called Karthik, a 24-25-year-old guy who is not interested in marriage. Elaborating further, he said "He is a fun loving, light-hearted character, very giving and is willing to do anything for the people he loves – friends or family. He believes in love at first sight and is always on a journey to discover new things." Ali was selected to play the character of Naga Chaitanya's uncle in the film which was said to be a hilarious role.

Filming
The principal photography commenced on 12 December 2013 in Hyderabad and the first schedule was wrapped up nearly on 26 December 2013. The second schedule began in January 2014 and some crucial scenes were shot in that schedule at Hyderabad. The second schedule was wrapped up on 11 January 2014. After a gap due to Akkineni Nageswara Rao's death, Naga Chaitanya joined the film's shoot in February 2014. In mid-February 2014, it was reported that the film is in its third and last major schedule and majority of the talkie part was said to be wrapped up with patchwork and songs remained to be shot. The shooting continued at Annapurna Studios where some crucial scenes on the lead were shot. At the same time, it was announced that the talkie part of the film would be wrapped up by April 2014 and after shooting the songs in abroad, the film's shoot will be wrapped up thus making it a summer release.

On 18 March, Vijay declared that 60% of the film's shoot has been wrapped. In the end of March, a fight sequence was shot on Naga Chaitanya which was choreographed by Ram-Lakshman. The shoot then continued in locales of Hyderabad in mid-April 2014 where scenes on principal cast were shot. It was expected then that the principal photography would end in span of a month. On 20 May 2014 Pooja Hegde informed via Twitter that the film's talkie part has been wrapped up and only the songs are left to be shot. In the first week of June, it was reported that 3 songs will be shot at Switzerland from 12 to 25 June 2014. Because of the songs shoot, Chaitanya could not attend the promotional activities of Autonagar Surya prior to the film's release. The filming continued in the second week of July 2014 at Interlaken at Switzerland where a song was shot on the lead pair. Part of the song's shoot included the lead pair paragliding. On 2 August, it was announced that the film's shoot is in the final stages. A week later, the film entered post production phase.

Soundtrack

Anoop Rubens composed the film's soundtrack and the background score marking his second collaboration with Vijay Kumar Konda. In the second week of August 2014, Vijay revealed that the soundtrack would feature a remixed version of the song Oka Laila Kosam from the film Ramudu Kaadu Krishnudu after which this film is titled. It was reported in mid-August 2014 that the film's soundtrack is scheduled for a release on 15 August 2014 with one of the songs being launched at Hyderabad and two songs being launched at PVP Mall in Vijayawada. The film's soundtrack was purchased and marketed by Aditya Music.

Later, the single track Freedom sung by Alphons Joseph and written by Vanamali was released between 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm in Maa Music and between 7:00 pm TO 8:00 pm in Red FM 93.5 by Naga Chaitanya, Pooja Hegde and Vijay Kumar Konda.

Charan & Divya and written by Dasari Narayana Rao were released at PVP Mall in Vijayawada on happened on 23 August 2014.

It was reported later that the complete soundtrack featuring 5 songs would be launched on 4 September 2014. However, it was launched the next day by the music label's streaming section in YouTube.

Reception

Reviewing the soundtrack, The Times of India wrote "On the whole, the album looks good with a blend of melodies and fast paced numbers". The platinum disc function was held on 20 September 2014, at the Shilpakala Vedika in Hyderabad, which coincides with the 100th day celebrations of Manam.

Release
In mid-February 2014, the makers planned for a summer 2014 release. On 2 August 2014 the makers said that they are planning to release the film on 5 September 2014. The film's overseas theatrical screening & distribution rights were acquired by Blue Sky Cinemas. The release date was moved to 29 August 2014 because the post production earlier than expected. Nagarjuna later postponed the film indefinitely because of other major releases happening at that time.

The film's release date was postponed to October end or early November 2014. The release date was finalized as 17 October 2014. There were no changes in the plan in view of the Uttarandhra districts being affected by Cyclone Hudhud. Naga Chaitanya said "I feel sad on seeing the pictures and hearing the news. Once normalcy is restored, we plan to re-release the film in those districts. For now only a few theaters in the affected regions will screen the film."

Marketing
On 2 August 2014 the first look poster was launched which featured the lead pair. The film's trailer was released on 12 August 2014. The trailer registered positive response from the viewers and received 0.1 million views in YouTube in one day of its release. Naga Chaitanya, Pooja Hegde, Vijay Kumar Konda and Anoop Rubens did a flash mob and entertained the huge crowd who attended the launch of two songs of the soundtrack at PVP Mall in Vijayawada on 17 August 2014 as a part of the film's promotion. However, the event ended on an ugly note as people were seen pushing each other while hooting and cheering for Chaitanya who tried to get closer to him and the situation soon got out of hand as a mini stampede ensued in the mall. The incident forced the police to resort to lathi charge to bring the crowd under control.

Naga Chaitanya and Pooja Hegde promoted the film on the inaugural episode of the talk show Ali Talkies hosted by comedian Ali on 11 October 2014. As part of the promotional campaign, an event named Vandha Lailala Kosam Naga Chaitanya (Naga Chaitanya for 100 Lailas) was held at Annapurna 7 acres Studios on 13 October 2014. 100 girls and 100 boys all over the state have attended this event for whom special trailers of the film were screened. Anoop Rubens gave a live performance. Pooja Hegde's birthday celebrations were also held on the same stage.

Home media
The film had its television premiere on 23 November 2014 on MAA TV. The film received a TRP rating of 13.16, one of the largest recorded for a film broadcast.

Reception

Critical response
Upon release the film got what the IB Times called "decent" reviews with the critics mostly praising the lead actors performances and the gripping screenplay. Ranjani Rajendra of The Hindu called it a "regular feel good fare" and wrote "Though there's nothing phenomenal in terms of storyline, Oka Laila Kosam makes for a good one-time watch with its fair share of laughs and entertainment." Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India wrote "Oka Laila Kosam is a simple love story which doesn't quite leave you with a big smile on your face, but it has enough mojo, if you are a big sucker for romance. After all, there's nothing more comforting than a happy ending in a romantic film" and rated it 3 out of 5. Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle wrote "The director has concentrated more on the lead actor and has left the female lead in confusion and there is no clarity about her character. But overall it's a feel good film and you can watch it once for Chaitanya and Pooja Hegde" and rated it 3 out of 5. Veena of Oneindia Entertainment wrote "Vijay Kumar Konda's story and screenplay should really be appreciated for portraying the casual story magically, onscreen. Oka Laila Kosam is a good romantic entertainer. The movie includes all commercial elements and will be a hit movie in Naga Chaitanya's career again" and rated it 3 out of 5.

IndiaGlitz wrote "Barring a few well-crafted scenes and nice visuals, the film lacks a strong story to keep the story going. Once watchable for the taking" and rated it 2.75 out of 5. IANS wrote "At a running time of 150 minutes, you really wish you had the power to stop the film whenever you want. Alas, that option is out of the question .Oka Laila Kosam, which is partly refreshing, is messed up mostly as it suffers from clichéd storytelling." Rajitha S. of The New Indian Express wrote "The film starts on a boring note, but it gets racy until the end of first half. The second half has too many elements which makes it clear that director Vijay Kumar Konda wanted to attribute too many characteristics to Naga Chaitanya. Chaitanya though has done justice to the role, as a character Karthik is slightly overdone".

Box office
Oka Laila Kosam opened to low occupancy in both single screens and multiplexes. The film collected  on its first day at the global box office. The film collected  in AP/Nizam region and  nett in the rest of the world by the end of three days taking its global first weekend total to  thus recovering 5% of the film's budget. The film netted approximately  in its first week globally.

title: HMS Carron (R30)

text:
HMS Carron was one of thirty-two  destroyers built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War, a member of the eight-ship Ca sub-class. Commissioned in late 1944, she was assigned to the Home Fleet and escorted the fleet's larger ships during operations off German-occupied Norway. Carron was sold for scrap in 1967.

Design and description
The Ca sub-class was a repeat of the preceding . The ships displaced  at standard load and  at deep load. They had an overall length of , a beam of  and a deep draught of .

The ships were powered by a pair of geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The turbines developed a total of  and gave a speed of  at normal load. During her sea trials, Carron reached a speed of  at a load of . The Ca-class ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of  at . Their complement comprised 186 officers and ratings.

The main armament of the destroyers consisted of four QF  Mk IV dual-purpose guns, one superfiring pair each fore and aft of the superstructure protected by partial gun shields. Their anti-aircraft suite consisted of one twin-gun stabilised Mk IV "Hazemeyer" mount for  Bofors guns amidships and two twin and a pair of single mounts for six  Oerlikon AA guns. The ships were also fitted with two quadruple mounts amidships for 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes. For anti-submarine work, they were equipped with a pair of depth charge rails and four throwers for 108 depth charges.

Construction and career
Carron was laid down by Scotts at their shipyard in Greenock on 26 November 1942 with the name of Strenuous and was launched on 28 March 1944 by which time she had been renamed. She was commissioned on 6 November and was allocated to the 6th Destroyer Flotilla for service with the Home Fleet. After a refit in mid-1945 to augment her anti-aircraft armament, she was transferred for service in the Far East in June, but joined the East Indies Fleet at Trincomalee, British Ceylon, in August.

Post war service
Following the war Carron paid off into reserve.  She was the first of her class to be selected for modernistion and the work was completed at Chatham. Work included a new bridge and gunnery fire control system, as well as the addition of Squid anti-submarine mortars.  The ship emerged from modernisation in 1955 for service with the Dartmouth Training Squadron. Her 'B' gun turret was replaced by a charthouse. In 1960 the ship was further de-equipped so she could serve as a navigational training ship, with only her torpedo tubes remaining and further charthouses fitted on the Squid deck. Carron was paid off on 5 April 1963 and was listed for sale on 30 May. She was sold for scrap to Thos. W. Ward on 10 March 1967 and arrived at the breaker's yard in Inverkeithing on 31 March.

title: Bedlington United A.F.C.

text:
Bedlington United A.F.C. was an English association football club based in the town of Bedlington, Northumberland.

History
Bedlington United was formed in or before 1897, and in that year became a founder member of the East Northumberland Combination. The team played in the East Northumberland League from 1902, and their 1907–08 league title preceded election to the Northern Alliance. Bedlington regularly finished in mid-table in the seasons running up to the war; their best result was fourth in 1911–12. In 1913, a stand was built at their Hollymount ground, and the sale of advertising space within the ground contributed to the club's finances. However, the land was requisitioned in 1920 by the local council for house building, and the club moved to a site in Church Lane to be known as Burdon Park.

Bedlington continued in the Northern Alliance for one post-war season and were then accepted into the North-Eastern League. They finished bottom in their first season, but were reprieved by four teams leaving to join the newly formed Football League Third Division North, and continued in mid-table or below until 1929–30, when a bottom-place finish meant they were relegated to the North-Eastern League Second Division. Runners-up spots in 1934 and 1935 did not bring promotion, and when the North-Eastern League reverted to a single division, Bedlington joined the re-formed Northern Alliance. They struggled on for two seasons, but after a third in which they finished bottom of the table, conceded eight goals both at home and away to Newcastle United "A", failed to win away from home until the penultimate match of the season, and had three players fail to turn up for the last home fixture, the club resigned. Its structure as a limited liability company combined with a longstanding lack of interest from the shareholders had made it impossible to continue. A public meeting agreed to set up a new club with the intention of replacing it in the Northern Alliance, but there were five clubs applying for three vacancies and Bedlington were unsuccessful.

Bedlington United first entered the FA Cup in 1908–09, and entered every season until 1927–28; their last participation was in 1935–36. Their best performance was in 1926–27, when they reached the second round proper before losing heavily to North-Eastern League rivals Carlisle United. They beat favourites Blyth Spartans 5–0 to win the Northumberland Senior Cup for the first time in 1923, and won it again in 1928.

title: Elisabeth von Adlerflycht

text:
Susanna Maria Rebecca Elisabeth von Adlerflycht (born von Riese; September 23, 1775 – March 15, 1846) was a German painter known for her cartographic illustration of the Rhine Valley, the first in a genre of tourist maps known as Rheinpanorama.

Life and work

Elisabeth von Adlerflycht studied in Frankfurt under Johann Daniel Bager (1754–1815), who painted still lifes and portraits. In 1797 she married Justinian von Adlerflycht, who later became a senator of the Free City of Frankfurt.

During a cruise on the Rhine in 1811, she drew preparatory sketches for a panoramic painting of the Rhine valley from the mouth of the Nahe to the Moselle. The panorama used continuous parallel projection to illustrate an overhead view of the full Rhine Valley. Johann Friedrich Cotta von Cottendorf (1764–1832) recognized the novelty of this technique of making pictorial maps and initiated the lithographic printing of this sheet by the Stuttgart geographer and cartographer Heinrich Keller in 1822. In 1823, Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp of the Frankfurt publishing company Friedrich Wilmans published this classic panorama of the Rhine from Mainz to Cologne.

Elisabeth von Adlerflycht had a painting gallery in Frankfurt, where today a street is named after the von Adlerflycht family.

title: Husino rebellion

text:
The Husino rebellion (, Хусинска буна) was a short-lived miners strike and armed rebellion against industrial slavery in the newly established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. 7,000 miners from Tuzla, Breza and Zenica in central Bosnia, participated in the strike in the village of Husino in Tuzla. When the local government tried to force the miners back to work, they resisted with firearms and the uprising was put down with great violence. Seven workers were killed and four-hundred arrested. The uprising was put down, but its memory was preserved as part of Tuzla's anti-authoritarian legacy.

The rebellion has been called one of the most important historical events in Yugoslavia and has remained an example of class struggle against injustice and oppression.

Event
A miners' strike began on 21 December 1920 in Husino when the miners requested a rise of wages of 30-45% to counter the gallop inflation which had paralyzed the economy of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (+60% between August and December 1920). Even with threats in the event of refusal of the authorities, the miners began a general strike. This very badly accommodated by the authorities who took radical measures to counter it. On the night of 27–28 December 1920, they sent a troop of 19 gendarmerie and police officers, who were ordered to evacuate the houses of the strikers in order to capture them and to counterbalance them, to Husino, which was then regarded as general headquarter of the strike movement.

The main actors of the strike were Jure Kerošević (Guja), Osman Đulović (Topčo), Mujo Đulović (Mujko), Karlo Železnik, Ivan Brcun, Franjo Marić, Marko Fidler, Bozo Mrkić, Simo Topalović, Mijo Tomić.

The 7,000 miners, armed with simple stones and pickaxes, quickly decimated the gendarmes and police officers, which caused the anger of the authorities who sent two battalions of the army as well as heavy artillery and 50 gendarmes that same evening. Vis-à-vis the army, the miners had only one choice: to surrender and give up their requirements. The rebellion was choked in blood by the Yugoslav government and the miners and their families' homes were confiscated, women were raped, over 400 people were arrested and some were expatriated.

Thirteen months later, the revolt got an epilogue in a trial conducted in Tuzla in January–February 1922. The indictment charged the  miners, including the leader of the uprising, Juro Kerošević, who was originally sentenced to death by hanging for allegedly killing gendarmerie officers. However, under pressure from domestic and international publicity the penalty was commuted to 20 years in prison. 32 miners were sentenced to death and 10 other miners were penalized with prison time ranging from 1–15 months.

Aftermath and legacy
The rebellion has been called one of the most important historical events in the former Yugoslavia and has remained an example of class struggle against injustice and oppression.

The steles of the victims installed in the municipal park of Husino testify still today to that dark time in the recent history of the village. A monument to memorialize the Husino miners (created by Ivan Sabolić) was erected in 1956, showing a miner dropping his pick for a rifle. In SFR Yugoslavia, 21 December was celebrated as Miners' Day throughout the country, because of the Husino Uprising.

During the Bosnian War (1992–95), a boot camp in Tuzla was named Husinska buna.

In February 2014, multiple Bosnian newspapers including Oslobođenje called the 2014 unrest in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the "new Husino Uprising".

In popular culture
A folk song called Konjuh planinom (Konjuh Mountain) was inspired by the uprising in the Husino village. It was first sung by Pejo Marković, who was killed in 1944 during World War II. Televizija Sarajevo produced a television film about the Husino Uprising called Husinska buna (Husino Rebellion, 1980).

title: HMS Cavendish (R15)

text:
HMS Cavendish was one of eight  destroyers built for the Royal Navy during the Second World War. Commissioned in late 1944, she was built as a flotilla leader with additional accommodation for staff officers. The ship was assigned to the Home Fleet in 1945 after working up where she escorted capital ships of the fleet. Cavendish was sold for scrap in 1967.

Design and description
The Ca-class destroyer was a repeat of the preceding . The ships displaced  at standard load and  at deep load. They had an overall length of , a beam of  and a deep draught of .

The ships were powered by a pair of geared steam turbines, each driving one propeller shaft using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The turbines developed a total of  and gave a speed of  at normal load. During her sea trials, Cavendish reached a speed of  at a load of . The Ca-class ships carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of  at . As a flotilla leader, Cavendishs complement was 222 officers and ratings.

The main armament of the destroyers consisted of four QF  Mk IV dual-purpose guns, one superfiring pair each fore and aft of the superstructure protected by partial gun shields. Their anti-aircraft suite consisted of one twin-gun stabilised Mk IV "Hazemeyer" mount for  Bofors guns amidships and two twin and a pair of single mounts for six  Oerlikon AA guns. The ships were also fitted with two quadruple mounts amidships for 21-inch (533 mm) torpedo tubes. For anti-submarine work, they were equipped with a pair of depth charge rails and four throwers for 108 depth charges.

Construction and career
Cavendish was laid down by John Brown & Company at their shipyard in Clydebank on 19 May 1943 with the name of Sibyl and was launched on 12 April 1944 by which time she had been renamed. She was commissioned on 13 December and was allocated to the 6th Destroyer Flotilla for service with the Home Fleet. After a refit in mid-1945 to augment her anti-aircraft armament, she was transferred for service in the Far East in June, but joined the East Indies Fleet at Trincomalee, British Ceylon, in August.

Post war service

Following the war Cavendish paid off into reserve. She was selected for modernisation and the work was completed in 1955. She emerged from modernisation in 1955 for service with the 6th Destroyer Flotilla as part of the Home Fleet, including service in the Mediterranean. In 1960 she was deployed for service with the Far Eastern Fleet at Singapore. In 1964 she returned to Portsmouth and received a brief refit. Cavendish was paid off on 1 January 1965 and was sold for scrap to Hughes Bolckow on 2 August 1967. She arrived at the breaker's yard in Blyth for scrapping on 14 August 1967.

title: Nuclear Throne

text:
Nuclear Throne is a bullet hell roguelike video game developed by Vlambeer. Early prototypes of the game were distributed through Steam's early access program in 2013. Nuclear Throne was released for Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita in December 2015, for Nintendo Switch in March 2019, and for Xbox One in September 2021.

Gameplay

Nuclear Throne is a top-down shooter roguelike game with bullet hell elements. The game consists of two main game modes: single-player, and a local cooperative gameplay mode. There are also daily and weekly challenge modes, allowing the player to compete against others via the Steam platform for the best score (determined by the number of kills in the playthrough), on the same set of randomly generated levels. The player controls one of a total of 12 characters, 10 of which must be unlocked through play. Two additional secret characters can only be played under special circumstances during play. Each character has an ability unique to them, adding an additional element to the gameplay. These individual abilities allow for different play-styles, improving the variety and replay value of the game. Secondary sprites or skins can be acquired for the characters played if the player completes special or secret tasks. The player progresses through the linear level structure until level 7–3, where the final boss, the Nuclear Throne, has to be defeated. After this, the player may choose to loop to the beginning of the game again with a greatly increased difficulty. The user may continue looping indefinitely until death.

The game resets upon death. Except for special weapons acquired in a hidden level and "crowns" retained until after defeating the final boss, anything acquired in one playthrough does not carry over to the next. The game has a leveling system, where the player gains experience in the form of radiation pellets, or "rads", dropped by enemies, that allow them to get different mutations and choose what would benefit the character the most out of a selection of four, randomly selected mutations. Upon reaching level 10, the player can choose a character-specific "ultra-mutation".

The player starts with the basic revolver, but they may upgrade by taking weapons from red chests and collect more ammunition from yellow chests. The player can have two weapons equipped at any time, such as a shovel and an assault rifle. The weapons available to the player get increasingly advanced and powerful as the enemies become increasingly difficult and numerous. After looping the game, special "golden" and "ultra" weapons become available. Aside from certain melee weapons, weapons consume one of five different ammo types (bullet, energy, shell, bolt, and explosive).

Plot
Nuclear Throne features a minimal plot. The game's community has formed theories about Nuclear Throne'''s story by analyzing the game's world, environment details and loading tips. Most canon information shared by the developers was revealed during development livestreams.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, characters called mutants have gathered together with the aim of travelling throughout the world to reach the Nuclear Throne. The developers theorize each new run is a new alternate universe, where everybody is alive and they have yet to decide who will attempt to complete the task.

 Development
Vlambeer's Jan Willem Nijman and Rami Ismail served as the game's designer and producer, respectively, and shared the development work. Paul Veer, who had previously animated Vlambeer's Super Crate Box, returned to contribute art to Nuclear Throne. The game's promotional art was drawn by Justin Chan, an art student hired on the basis of his fan art for early releases of the game. Nuclear Throne music was composed by Jukio Kallio, who had composed for several previous Vlambeer titles. A friend of Kallio's, Joonas Turner, worked on the sound effect design.

Jan Willem Nijman and Rami Ismael were invited by Notch, to participate in a 48-hour charity game jam called Mojam Humble in 2013. During this game jam the two created a game called Wasteland Kings which later became the prototype to Nuclear Throne. At the beginning of development, Nuclear Throne was created in Game Maker 7 before transitioning to Game Maker Studio to develop the rest of the product, a decision the team later found cumbersome. Nuclear Throne's development was secondary to their other project at the time, Luftrausers, and the team often found themselves progressively adding new features before considering taking the game seriously as a commercial option. Nuclear Throne development took 2.5 years, beginning in February 2013 and releasing into Steam Early Access that same year. During PAX Prime 2013 Vlambeer showed off the prototype for Nuclear Throne, known as Wasteland Kings, with five of the twelve characters playable in the prototype. After the release of Nuclear Throne to early access, this prototype was made for public download. It was revealed by Rami Ismail that the name change was due primarily to a trademark issue with InXile Entertainment. Following the Mojam tradition of livestreaming the development process, the team decided to continue livestreaming their progress for Nuclear Throne which was a development process they later dubbed “Performative Game Development”. The livestreams offered opportunities for the developers to interact directly with their community and increase their game's exposure to new audiences. Rami noticed a significant boost in exposure when other live streamers on the Twitch platform were interacting with and playing Nuclear Throne. For example, they had a significant sales spike when Northernlion, a content creator, played the game on stream. Vlambeer announced PlayStation 4 and Vita releases at the December 2015 PlayStation Experience keynote.

The aspect ratio of Nuclear Throne is permanently set to 4:3 instead of the industry standard 16:9. This was done to create an even balance of visual threats onscreen. Vlambeer generates their random levels using “workers”. This programming system creates tiles and walls beginning from the character with a random amount of distance it can cover. Once the walker reaches the end of its randomized distance it will place an item or object of interest such as an ammo crate or explosive barrel. Each region within the game has its own sets of random generation restrictions creating distinct differences between the progressive areas.

 Release

In January 2016, Vlambeer teamed up with the subscription box company, IndieBox, to offer a physical release of Nuclear Throne. This limited collector's edition included a themed USB drive with DRM-free game file, soundtrack, instruction manual, Steam key, and various custom-designed collectibles.

 Reception Nuclear Throne has received positive reviews from critics, with the game's PS4 version scoring 82/100 on Metacritic, and the Windows version 89/100.

Alexander Chatziioannou of Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 4 out of 5 saying, "Nuclear Throne is impeccably presented and tightly designed. There is enough variety in characters, upgrades and weapons to ensure that playthroughs never get repetitive and its visceral combat is a joy in itself." Jordan Devore from Destructoid rated the game an 8/10 saying, "it's one of the hardest, most rewarding games I've ever played. But as satisfying as it can eventually become, I think it is far too demanding for its own good."IGN awarded it a score of 9.0 out of 10, saying "Nuclear Throne'' is an enjoyably tough run-and-gun with tons of energy and variety to justify hours and hours of replays."

 "The Silence" (The Independent, 29 Dec 2001) - The musings of an elderly Sibelius as he struggles to complete his Eighth Symphony.

Reception
Many reviews were positive :
Thomas Mallon of The New York Times is full of praise:
"The Lemon Table has plenty of sharp, even cruel, comic pleasures"
"Barnes is a top-flight precisionist, often sectioning stories with space breaks and numerical divisions that give them a surprising amplitude"
"Stylistically, Barnes doesn't go in for bravura set pieces so much as the steady, pleasing wit of English comic realism, in which sheer intelligence and acute observation carry the whole production, line after line and page after page. The author's figurative language is consistently satisfying"
Martin Rubin in the San Francisco Chronicle writes "Everywhere he ventures, Barnes is sure-footed: each word, each tone, each nuance of phrase is just right. Every word is the proverbial mot juste. Barnes is always adept at avoiding cliche. If some of the situations in the stories veer too close to that fatal shoal, he is sure to put in some unexpected touches"... "It is inevitable that not every tale in this collection is a masterpiece. Even those, however, that do not rise to this level are very well done"
Frank Kermode writing in The Guardian praises the collection, "The Lemon Table leaves one in no doubt as to Barnes's virtuosity."

But there was some criticism :
Carolyn See in The Washington Post wrote "These particular stories suffer from an overwhelming disadvantage (and I don't care if Julian Barnes is a very skillful writer and gets published in the New Yorker all the time). You can't condescend to your characters, scorn them even, and expect to leave the reader with much more than a bad taste. A little hauteur goes a very long way"
Ruth Franklin, of The New Republic: "the proximity to gravitas serves only to pinpoint Barnes's inadequacies as a fiction writer. He dreams up some nicely unconventional figures and puts them in provocative scenarios, but he fails to discover any emotion richer than a condescending pathos."

title: Colin Strang (footballer)

text:
Henry Colin Strang (10 August 1910 – 28 November 1946) was an Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Strang, the son of former South Melbourne player Bill Strang, was born in Sydney, but grew up in Albury. He played his early football for East Albury and in 1933 trained with Richmond, where his brothers Doug and Gordon were premiership players. A younger brother, Allan Strang played for South Melbourne. However it was with St Kilda that he made his two league appearances, in the 1933 VFL season. He kicked three goals from full-forward on debut, against Carlton at Junction Oval, in round seven. The following round he played in St Kilda's loss to Collingwood at Victoria Park, then lost his place in the team when Bill Mohr returned from injury.

He returned home in 1935 and began playing for Albury, which was followed by a stint with Kyneton in the Bendigo Football League. In 1937 he joined Northern Tasmanian Football Association side North Launceston, a club captain-coached by his brother Gordon. They lost the grand final that year to Launceston, after which Strang returned to Albury.

On 28 November 1946, Strang died from an illness, aged 36.

Two of his nephews were in Richmond's 1967 premiership team: Geoff Strang, the son of his brother, Doug, and John Perry, the son of his sister, Edna "Bob" Perry, née Strang.

title: Isaac Phills

text:
Isaac C. Phills,  (January 11, 1896March 9, 1985) was a Canadian steel worker, the first Black man to receive the Order of Canada.

Life
Phills was born in abject poverty in the West Indies before coming to Canada in 1916. He served in the First World War with the 85th Battalion (Nova Scotia Highlanders) of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The writer Calvin Ruck quotes Phills as saying,

"In Sydney after the war started, quite a few Blacks volunteered for active service and were told point blank, 'We don't want you. This is a white man's war.' However, in 1917, the Canadian Army was up against it. They had lost a lot of men in France. At that point, they were willing to take anyone. Conscription came in, and they took the Blacks and the Whites."

Returning to Sydney, Nova Scotia after his discharge from service he went back to Sydney Steel where he worked for 45 more years and raised a family that included four college graduates.

Phills was active in his community, a member and vestryman of Saint Alban's Anglican Church in Whitney Pier, treasurer of the Ethiopian Community Club and secretary of the Court Washington Ancient Order of Foresters.

Order of Canada
Isaac Phills was awarded the Order of Canada in Canada's centennial year of 1967. Isaac's appointment was in the inaugural list of 90 and was the only person of African descent to be recognised in the first list.

The first Black man to receive the Order of Canada, he is important for the role he played in showing the immigrant community of Whitney Pier that any man could overcome hardship through hard work and determination and build a prosperous life for themselves and their family in a new land. Phills' Order of Canada citation reads in part: "A Cape Breton steel worker of West Indian origin, who raised a large family and despite many difficulties, gave them a good education and start in life and set a fine example in the community."

title: Priyatama (2014 film)

text:
Priyatama (Matathi: प्रियतमा.... खडकाळ माळराणावर फुललेलं एक हळवं प्रीतस्वप्न) is a 2014 Marathi film. The film is the story of Parsha and Gauri in a small village of Maharashtra in 1951, who fall in love despite belonging to different social classes and opposite lifestyles.

Priyatama was released in theaters on 14 February 2014.

Plot
Parsha belongs to a community in Maharashtra, known as "Potraj", who are said to be messengers of Goddess Lakshmi, and devote their entire lives to this service. This community travels around and makes temporary shelters at each village, feeding themselves on grains donated by villagers, as they are not allowed to live normal lives. Members of Potraj carry a whip, called Korda, and regularly practice mortification of the flesh, as a way to please Lakshmi.

title: Pat Douthwaite

text:
Pat Douthwaite (28 July 1934 – 26 July 2002) was a Scottish artist. She has been notably compared to Amedeo Modigliani and Chaïm Soutine, the peintres maudits of early twentieth-century Paris.

Life
Douthwaite was born in Glasgow, Scotland, to mother Winifred Rachael, and father Thomas Leslie Douthwaite.  She spent her early life in Paisley.  She travelled widely, living in various places across the world until her death in Dundee, in 2002.  Although she was born in 1934, she claimed throughout her life to have been born in 1939.

In 1947, Douthwaite took up expressive dance and ballet classes, only making the decision to be a painter later in her life, and without any formal art education.  Her work is featured in several different museums.  She was married to Paul Hogarth between 1963-1970, and they had one son together.

Douthwaite's extensive travel during her life saw her living in York, Edinburgh, Dumfriesshire, and Berwick upon Tweed.  In addition, she travelled to North Africa, India and Peru.

Dance career
Douthwaite took up dance classes in 1947, which were taught by Margaret Morris.  It was there that she met the artist J.D. Fergusson, Morris' partner.  Fergusson was a landscape artist and taught Douthwaite how to appreciate the light interacting with a landscape. She continued to dance and was a part of Morris's Celtic Ballet in 1954 at Jacob's Pillow Theatre in Massachusetts U.S.A.

Art career
In the late 1950s, Douthwaite made the decision to take up a career in visual art, rather than dance, with Fergusson persuading her not to engage in formal art education.  She had her first solo show at 57 Gallery in Edinburgh in 1958. She left Scotland in 1958, and associated herself with a wide artistic crowd which included Robert MacBryde, Robert Colquhoun, Peter Cook, Roger Law, and William Crozier, the latter of whom she had met in Glasgow.  She moved into Crozier's house in Essex in 1958, however the extent of her relationship with many other of these artists is not clear.

In December 1963 Douthwaite exhibited alongside the artists Philip Jones and Bill Featherstone at the Grabowski Gallery in London. A review of the exhibition by Kenneth Coutts-Smith appeared in Arts Review, where he remarked on her enigmatic, dreamlike and disturbing work which he felt had 'an almost embroidered applique effect'.

Douthwaite exhibited with the Women's International Art Club in London between 1960 and 1966.

Although much of her work explores issues surrounding femininity and womanhood, Douthwaite did not self identify as a feminist.  She was the recipient of various awards from the Scottish Arts Council.  In 2005, following her death, the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh held a memorial exhibition.

Douthwaite's work pursued a variety of themes including the Manson Trial, American Women Bandits and the aviator Amy Johnson.

Exhibitions of work

In 1967, Richard Demarco saw Pat Douthwaite as a talented Scottish artist and displayed her Mary Queen of Scots in his Edinburgh gallery. In 1967 he debuted her Love Pictures. In 1972-79 her Paintings and Drawings were shown at the Talbot Rice Art Centre and then in 1982 Worshipped Women was introduced by Robert Graves at the Edinburgh Festival. Other notable supporters included Douglas Hall and Guy Peploe. In London, 1982-83 Douthwaite exhibited in the Royal College of Art and in the Third Eye Centre in Glasgow, Scotland, 1999-89. She had a solo exhibition in 1993 at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh of her more recent and final works. The Scottish Gallery held a memorial show in 2005 with an extensive catalogue.

Personal reputation
Douthwaite had a reputation as a "compelling" painter, but also as difficult, and insecure.  She is described by Cordelia Oliver as having felt increasingly "alienated" throughout her life, and hard to please.

title: The Falcon in San Francisco

text:
The Falcon in San Francisco is a 1945 American crime and mystery film directed by Joseph H. Lewis and stars Tom Conway, Rita Corday and Edward Brophy, who played the recurring role of "Goldie" Locke.  The film was the 11th in The Falcon series of detective films, and the eighth featuring Conway as the amateur sleuth. The Falcon in San Francisco was the final film in the series produced by Maurice Geraghty, after which budgets were reduced and location shooting largely abandoned.

Plot

While travelling by train with his sidekick and assistant, "Goldie" Locke (Edward Brophy), for a vacation in San Francisco, Tom Lawrence (Tom Conway), a.k.a. The Falcon, meets Annie Marshall (Sharyn Moffett), a lonely little girl. Annie tells them that she is being held prisoner by her nurse, Miss Carla Keyes (Hermine Sterler), and butler Loomis (Jason Robards Sr.).  Annie's story is cut short when Miss Keyes comes for her. Shortly after, the little girl rushes back to Tom to tell him her nurse is dead.

Tom and Goldie take charge of Annie but police are notified that the little girl was kidnapped. When the train arrives in San Francisco, the police are waiting for the Falcon. Released on $10,000 bail, posted by Doreen Temple (Fay Helm), who promises Tom she will disclose the motive behind her generosity. At dinner that evening, Doreen brings along her bodyguard Rickey (Carl Kent), posing as a police officer. When they leave, Rickey knocks Tom out and takes him to Doreen's apartment where she interrogates him about the murder, and to stay away from gangster Peter Vantine (John Mylong) and the cargo ship, the S.S. Citadel.

After Tom returns to his hotel to collect Goldie, they decide to pay a visit to Annie's house, where they meet her older sister Joan (Rita Corday) who denies that she knows Doreen or Vantine. Annie claims she made up the story about being held captive, but when Tom sneaks back to the house to talk to her, she says Loomis is holding her prisoner. She takes them to Carla's room where they find a photograph of a ship's officer (Johnny Strong), signed to his wife, Carla.

Loomis hears someone rummaging around in the nurse's room, but is shot dead by an unknown assailant. Returning to their hotel, Tom is confronted by Vantine, who is brandishing a gun. When Tom disarms him, he learns Doreen was the romantic interest of an ex-bootlegger, Duke Monette (Robert Armstrong), involved with a shipment aboard the S.S. Citadel.

Tom visits the Star Coastal lines where DeForrest, the company's general manager, is meeting with Joan, the owner of the company. A clerk at the office alerts Tom to go to an address, which turns out to be Doreen's apartment, where she is waiting with her gang. Vantine, also lured into her trap, arrives and begins to fight with Doreen's thugs. Tom and Joan manage an escape but on his return to his hotel room, discovers DeForrest hiding in a closet. Goldie finds a newspaper article that shows who the real owner of the steamship S.S. Citadel is: Duke Monette.

That night Tom and Goldie sneak aboard the ship and find raw silk hidden among the bales of hemp cargo. Returning to the Marshall house, the little girl tells Tom that Joan has left to meet her "secret lover" on Telegraph Hill. Tom observes the rendezvous with Joan and DeForrest, who Tom thinks is really Duke Monette, confessing that he used a secret identity to protect his daughters, Joan and Annie.

Fearing Doreen plans to hijack the illicit silk cargo that night, Duke asks for the detective's help. At dockside, Duke and Tom watch Vantine, Doreen and the other gang members board the S.S. Citadel. Duke suddenly knocks the ship's engineer unconscious, and blows up the unattended boiler room, then pulls a gun on Doreen and Tom.

Tom tells Doreen that Duke killed Miss Keyes and Loomis, the employees she hired to watch over the girls. When Tom warns that Duke plans to blow up the ship, Doreen and Rickey lunge forward to disarm Duke, who shoots them both, but Rickey shoots Duke, allowing Tom to flee before the ship explodes.

Reception
Film historians Richard Jewell and Vernon Harbin described The Falcon in San Francisco, as part of a programmed series. "One of the quaint conventions of the Falcon series was that whenever  Tom Conway embarked on a vacation, a corpse would pop up to interrupt his relaxation".

In a recent review of the Falcon series for the Time Out Film Guide, Tom Milne wrote, "Conway, bringing a lighter touch to the series (which managed its comic relief better than most), starred in nine films after The Falcon's Brother, most of them deft and surprisingly enjoyable." After its release into home video, The Falcon in San Francisco was reviewed in DVD Active.com, "The plot gets thicker than Northern gravy with boiled potatoes when more bodies hit the sawdust, and links to a shipping magnate are uncovered - all linked to a man with no past and a gangster thought to be long dead. Will The Falcon unravel this mystery without taking a bullet? Will the mafia have their plan thwarted? Can Goldie find himself a bride to reduce his level of income tax?"

title: Carrick bend loop

text:
A carrick loop is a knot used to make a reliable and stable loop at the end of a rope formed by the tail turned around and attached to the main part using a carrick bend.

Tying
The carrick bend knot closing the carrick bend loop will consist of
a simple closed loop of the main part and
a small closed loop of the rope tail
woven together in a basket weave pattern and then
tightened.
The knot will have 8 crossing points, 7 holes, the central hole with 4 straight edges, and the 6 others with 2 straight and one external curved edge. The main part, the end, and the two loop edges will enter the knot from the four corners of the knot when tied flat; If the ones that will carry the heaviest loads are placed at opposite corners the knot will hold better.

The carrick loop is reliable, and easy to untie, but there are no advantages over other loops that are easier to tie.

Variations
There are two possible variations depending on the loop ends angle of entry to the knot relative to each other, roughly 90 degrees, or 180 degrees; The former giving a more flat and decorative knot and the latter, double coin knot, being more secure.

title: Burma Mines Railway

text:
The Burma Mines Railway is a  gauge railway in Myanmar for the transportation of locally mined silver and lead ore to a smelter at Namtu.

The line runs from Namyao, on the Mandalay - Lashio branch of Myanmar Railways, via Namtu to Bawdwin and is  long.

History
The Burma Mines, Railway and Smelting Co Ltd was founded in March 1906 and the construction of the railway started in 1907, to reach the Tiger Camp mining area in 1908, with a  extension to the Bawdwin mines and included a Z-reverse at Wallah Gorge, just before Tiger Camp, which was later replaced by a spiral.

The railway's headquarters and workshops were built in Namtu.

In 1914 the connection with the metre gauge Burma Railways was moved from Manpwe to Namyao, a short distance to the east. After the First World War, the local Burma Corporation Ltd took over operations and built an electrified underground railway at Tiger Camp and 100 hopper cars were ordered from the American Pressed Steel Car Company.

In the 1930s the line experienced its peak traffic. Steam was largely replaced in the 1970s and 1980s but today two steam locos remain in working order.

Present day
In present day, the coal for the smelters and the finished products is transported by road. Ore transport from Bawdwin to Namtu is still done by rail. The section from Namyao to Namtu sees little traffic. Namtu is a security area and restrictions are placed on visiting the railway, mines and smelters, except on official tours.
