title: Fan (film)

text:
Fan is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film
directed by Maneesh Sharma and co-written by Sharma and Habib Faisal. Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role as filmstar Aryan Khanna and his obsessive fan Gaurav Chandna, who looks just like him. Gaurav beats up a rival actor to appease Aryan, but is instead punished by his idol; heartbroken, the fan plans revenge. The film also has an ensemble supporting cast.

Sharma had originally conceived the idea of Fan in 2006 and recited the story to Chopra, who advised him against the challenging project for his directorial debut. In the same year, Yash Chopra read it to Khan, who expressed interest in being part of the project. The project was revived in late 2013, and Khan underwent 3D scanning in 2014. Principal photography began in July 2014 and was completed by November 2015. Fan was a songless film; a soundtrack album consisting of a marketing song in different languages was composed by Vishal–Shekhar and the original score was done by Andrea Guerra.

Fan was heavily marketed; after several delays, it was released internationally on 15 April 2016. The film opened to positive reviews from critics, who praised Khan's performance, visual effects and action sequences, with criticism focused on the editing and the loosely written script. The film collected 1.2 billion in India and 679 million from overseas territories, for a total of 1.88 billion against a production budget of 1.20 billion. At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, Fan received the Filmfare Award for Best Special Effects.

Plot
Gaurav Chandna is a Delhi-based hardcore and obsessive fan of Bollywood superstar Aryan Khanna. He harbours a crush on Neha, his friend and neighbour who works at a call centre. Gaurav's face bears an uncanny similarity to Aryan's, which helps him win the local talent show by impersonating Aryan. Encouraged by his parents, he embarks on a train journey to Mumbai to meet Aryan and present him with the trophy won by impersonating him

When Sid Kapoor, a fellow actor, expresses harsh sentiments about Aryan to the press, an infuriated Gaurav beats him and makes him apologise to Aryan while he records it. The video is uploaded to the Internet, where Aryan sees it and has Gaurav arrested. Gaurav is mercilessly beaten in jail, where Aryan angrily reprimands him, declaring that Gaurav is not his fan and that he had Gaurav arrested. Gaurav asks for five minutes of Aryan's time, at which Aryan scoffs at giving the fan even five seconds. Devastated, Gaurav returns home and burns all of his Aryan memorabilia, vowing revenge against Aryan for turning away his fan.

A year later in London, Gaurav goes to Madame Tussauds, impersonating Aryan and purposely creating havoc which leads to Aryan being arrested by police. Released on bail, Aryan receives a call from Gaurav, who reveals what he did and offers to stop troubling Aryan if he will apologise. Aryan refuses, and Gaurav disguises himself as a crew-member on Aryan's show.

Aryan is scheduled to perform at the wedding of a billionaire's daughter in Dubrovnik, Croatia. After performing a dance show, Aryan receives a card with the message "Say sorry", and realises that Gaurav is nearby. Meanwhile, Gaurav poses as Aryan and molests one of the lady guests. The billionaire berates the real Aryan and makes him leave the event. Outside, Aryan spots Gaurav and chases him, though Gaurav escapes. The molestation incident is reported by the media, resulting in a tarnished reputation and boycotts of Aryan's shows.

Gaurav invades Aryan's home in India and vandalizes his trophy collection, even frightening his wife Bela and Aryan's children. Aryan visits Gaurav's parents and meets Neha. With their help, Aryan impersonates Gaurav at the local talent show; he declares Gaurav's love to Neha and tells about Gaurav's acts, to the ire of the audience. This provokes Gaurav, who shoots at Aryan with a gun. Aryan chases Gaurav and subdues him after a bloody fight. Aryan asks Gaurav to give up impersonating him and live a normal life. Gaurav responds by telling Aryan that he has destroyed his life and reminds him that he has not apologised yet. Gaurav flings himself off the roof, dying with a smile.

Aryan's name is cleared from all the controversies, but the ordeal haunts him, and his name is linked with Gaurav's both in his mind and in the eyes of the public. On his next birthday, Aryan goes out to the roof to greet his fans. When he is about to turn, he sees a haunting glimpse of Gaurav in the crowd, smiling up at him, upon which he turns back to the crowd with greater respect and appreciation.

Production

Development and casting
After serving as an assistant director in the Yash Raj Films productions Fanaa and Aaj Nachle, Maneesh Sharma read the story of Fan to Aditya Chopra in 2006. Chopra felt that the film was too ambitious and expensive for a debut and advised him to abandon the idea, after which Sharma took up Band Baaja Baaraat. Yash Chopra brought the story to Shah Rukh Khan in 2006, and Khan was interested in the project. The idea of Fan came from Sharma's observation of the desires and expectations of fans upon the celebrities they admired. Sharma felt that the concept hadn't been greatly explored in cinema.

On 16 December 2013, Yash Raj Films announced the project with Shah Rukh Khan as the main lead and Maneesh Sharma as the director. The project was discussed for over a year before Khan agreed to sign the deal. On 25 March 2014, it was announced that Greg Cannom would develop the look of Khan in the film and be responsible for special make-up effects. Khan underwent 3D scanning for his look as a young boy. Though it had at one time been reported that Khan was scheduled to play a 17-year-old boy in the film, Khan later denied the claim. Khan started working on the film prior to the release of his previous venture, Happy New Year, and underwent a makeover for the film. According to Khan, Fan is a "family" film. He wanted to do an "intense yet commercially viable film".

Amid speculation, Khan confirmed the film would have two heroines, but added that the film "did not require a big female star". Model Waluscha de Sousa played an important role in the film. She was cast following an audition with Shanoo Sharma. Ileana D'Cruz, Vaani Kapoor, and Parineeti Chopra were each considered for the role before de Sousa was cast. She had previously acted with Khan in a few commercials.
It marked the debut role of Shriya Pilgaonkar, the daughter of Sachin Pilgaonkar, who had an important role in Fan. She was selected after an audition. The dialogue was written by Sharat Kataria and Habib Faisal. Manu Anand and Namrata Rao were hired as the cinematographer and editor, respectively. Parveen Shaikh and Oh Sea Young served as the film's action directors. Sayani Gupta, Deepika Amin, and Yogendra Tiku also had roles in the film. Gupta was chosen after Shanoo was impressed with her performance in Margarita with a Straw.

Filming and post-production

Principal photography began in July 2014. The film was shot in Mumbai, Dubrovnik, London and Delhi. In October 2014, Khan reported that he had finished shooting a 20-day schedule for Fan. Parts of the film were shot outside Khan's residence in Mannat. In April 2015, Fan became the first film to shoot at the Madame Tussauds in London. Khan's statue was temporarily moved to the London Eye for filming. In February 2015, Khan was spotted shooting in the Delhi neighbourhood. Filming continued in Dubrovnik despite Khan suffering a knee injury while filming an action sequence. India Today reported that Khan was back in Mumbai in April. Khan simultaneously shot for Dilwale and Raees along with Fan.

Khan was injured again when he travelled back to Mumbai. In November, Khan revealed that the film used dialogues from his previous ventures, one being Baazigar. On 16 November 2015, Khan returned to Delhi for additional filming.
In November 2015, it was announced that the filming of the project was complete. In January 2016, the filming visual of the song "Jabra Fan" was revealed. The song was shot in the streets of Delhi.

For dubbing the role for Gaurav, Khan had to modulate his voice. Along with visual effects, prosthetics were used to make Khan seem younger. The production was made on an estimated budget of ₹850 million. Produced by Chopra under the label Yash Raj Films, which distributed the film, its final cut ran for a total of 142 minutes. The dialogues were written by Sharat Kataria, while Habib Faisal co-wrote the script with Sharma.

Music

Fan was a songless film. A. R. Rahman was initially roped in to compose the score of the film. But due to reasons unknown, he opted out. Then, the soundtrack of Fan consisted of a marketing track that was not present in the film, which was composed by Vishal–Shekhar with lyrics written by Varun Grover. The original score was composed by Italian composer Andrea Guerra. The first song "Jabra Fan", was released as a single track on 7 February 2016. The soundtrack was released on 13 March 2016 and included 13 tracks, with one theme music and 12 songs, which were each different versions of "Jabra Fan". The song was in 9 Indian languages sung by regional singers, 2 foreign languages sung by foreign singers and a mashup version of "Jabra Fan", which is a remix version of all the 11 languages.

Marketing
Khan's house was graffiti painted as a promotional strategy.
The logo of the film, the first of its kind with a collage of pictures of Khan's real fans, was released on 23 October 2015. The makers released a 2-minute teaser for the film on Shah Rukh Khan's birthday on 2 November 2015. This was followed by the music video of the song "Jabra Fan", released on 16 February 2016 for promotional purposes. The official trailer of Fan was released on 29 February 2016 and was viewed 4 million times on the Internet in the first 24 hours. The 3-minute video later garnered over 20 million views on YouTube with more than 170 thousand likes, a record for a Bollywood film. The film's teaser was released on Khan's birthday. A game based on the film was in development by 99Games in February 2016 and released in 2017. A contest titled 'Tu Nahi Samjega' was organised by Yash Raj Films.

Release
Fan was scheduled for release in late 2014 or early 2015, but owing to the injuries sustained by Khan during the filming of Happy New Year, the film's release date was postponed to 14 August 2015. The complex post-production visual-effects work further pushed the release of Fan to early 2016. After several delays, the film was released on 15 April 2016 in 3,500 screens in India and about 1,100 screens abroad. It was produced on a budget of  and an additional  was spent on publicity, for a combined cost of approximately . The studio recouped part of their investment before release by selling the satellite rights to Sony Pictures Networks at around .

Reception

India
Fan received highly positive response from critics. Critics praised Khan's performance, visual effects and action sequences while they criticised the loosely written script and editing. Raja Sen from Rediff.com gave the film 4.5 out of 5 stars and called Fan a brilliant film with Shah Rukh Khan at his best. Zee News also awarded the film 4.5 stars, saying "The movie encapsulates the fandom which SRK as a star enjoys and why his fans must watch this to understand how he achieved what he did." The Times of India rated the film 4 out of 5 and commented, "Fan is Shah Rukh Khan's triumph all the way. He pulls off a terrifically dramatic double act, altering his look, feel and intensity, but as Gaurav, Shah Rukh makes you forget everything – except feeling scared." Mid-Day also saw the film worthy of 4/5 and reviewed, "Right from the beginning of this thriller, which undoubtedly boasts of one, oops, two of his best performances, it is evident why Shah Rukh Khan is needed for a film of this sort, and why only someone in his position and with his caliber could do it too." Aditya Sinha from Asianet News called it Khan's "greatest performance" to date.

Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and opined, "On the whole, Fan has a brilliant first half, but loses track in the second hour, only to pick up again towards the pre-climax. The writing should've been tighter, but what works is the terrific act by SRK as the fan." The Hindu called the film Khan's return to form and said, "SRK couldn't have found a better vehicle than Fan, both as an actor and as a celebration of the highs and the lows of his own stardom. A stardom whose enormity he'd himself find difficult to wrap around his head." The Indian Express also gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated, "Fan is a triumph. Shah Rukh Khan is played to all his strengths, and he plays it just right, gliding in and out of the star and the fan, creating distinct identities and outlines in one scene, and blurring the lines just so in the next." Anna M. M. Vetticad of Firstpost writes, "Much of its appeal lies in the fact that the central characters are not stereotyped. Besides, when Shah Rukh Khan decides to go real and understated, it always makes for compelling viewing."

India Today gave the film 3.5 stars and commented, "Maneesh Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan hand-deliver the mindscape – of both the fan and the star – on screen. And brilliantly," but felt that unnecessary scenes could have been cut from the film. Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times also rated it 3.5 out of 5 and said that she "can guarantee that the next time you see a horde of screaming fans, you'll observe them more keenly. You might even wonder what their stories are." NDTV Movies gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and opined, "Fan works for the most part because it has the fabulous SRK act as a 'young' star-struck boy. His energetic performance is worth the price of the ticket – if not more." Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave 3 stars out of 5, commenting "As I left the cinema having watched the film, I found myself conflicted about my feelings. There is so much to admire here, but it’s evident the filmmakers think they’ve made a smarter film than they actually have. Still, Fan works for the most part. And anyone who – like me – had grown tired and disappointed with Shah Rukh's unwillingness to step out of his comfort zone will have reason to be a fan again."

Overseas
On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a rating of 79%, based on 24 reviews, with an average rating of 6.5/10. Mark Kermode of The Guardian rates the film 4/5 and writes, "Shah Rukh Khan outdoes himself twice in this dual-role psychological thriller." Sonali Kokra of The National rates the film 3.5/5 and writes, "Just for these rare moments inspired by Shah Rukh Khan's real life, you should go and watch Fan." Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News rates the film 3/5 and opines, "It's engaging to watch a powerful actor and his seemingly powerless admirer indulge in a twisted battle of wills." Anil Sinanan of Time Out rates the film 3/5 felt, "A little more restraint in maintaining the tonal consistency would have resulted in a much darker and satisfying cautionary tale about the perils of fame and blind love." Wendy Ide of Screen International wrote, "Despite the slapdash plotting, the film – taken from the point of view of the star – gives an uneasy insight into the celebrity's co-dependent relationship with the people who make him, and can destroy him."

Lisa Tsering of The Hollywood Reporter criticised the plot and wrote, "Sharma pads out the songless film with well-executed but overlong action pieces that become even more frustrating when you consider the ways time could have been better spent exploring Aryan's fascinating backstory." Majira of Cairo 360 shared the view, writing, "[The] story could have benefitted from being a bit more restrained." J Hurtado of ScreenAnarchy wrote, "This is a mediocre film saved by the presence of its overpowered, overexposed, and overconfident star." In contrast, Itrat Syed of Georgia Straight wrote that the film is "An insightful rumination on the codependency between idols and their devotees, disguised as a psychological thriller." Prathna Sarkar of International Business Times wrote, "With Fan, SRK proves why he is considered one of the finest actors in business."

Box office
On its opening day, Fan collected 19.20 crore in India, the fourth-highest for a Khan film at the time. Compared to the total gross of 52.35 crore collected in the first week, Fan collected only 7.75 crore in the second week, indicating a drop of 85 percent. Fans gross in India was 120 crore. However, it was successful overseas, where its gross had crossed 10 million, more than the overseas gross of Ra.One. The worldwide gross of Fan was around 188.4 crore.

Accolades
Red Chillies VFX received the Filmfare Award for Best Special Effects at the 62nd Filmfare Awards for their work with visual effects in Fan.

title: Sucker (album)

text:
Sucker (stylized in all uppercase) is the second studio album by English singer Charli XCX (also stylized in all uppercase), released on 15 December 2014 by Asylum and Atlantic Records. The album was met with positive reviews from critics, praising its throwback style, and ended up being included on many year-end lists for best albums of 2014. Sucker spawned the singles "Boom Clap", "Break the Rules", "Doing It" (featuring Rita Ora) and "Famous".

Charli promoted the album through a series of public appearances and televised live performances, as well as appearing on the Jingle Ball Tour 2014. The album was supported by Charli's Girl Power North America Tour, which lasted from September to October 2014. She was also the opening act for the European leg of Katy Perry's Prismatic World Tour in 2015.

Background
In 2013, Charli released her first major studio album, True Romance. The album received positive reviews by music critics, who praised its unique style. However, the album failed to chart on major markets. On 13 March 2014, she revealed to Complex that she had begun working on her second album with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo and Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend. Stargate duo and John Hill were also confirmed as producers. In an interview with DIY magazine, she stated that she wrote the record for girls and wants them to feel "a sense of empowerment". Charli explained in her tour diary with Replay Laserblast that the record's genre is still pop, but has "a very shouty, girl-power, girl-gang, Bow Wow Wow" feel to it at the same time. She also said in an interview with Idolator that Sucker would be influenced by the Hives, Weezer, the Ramones and 1960s yé-yé music.

On 7 January 2015, it was announced that the European release of the album would be pushed back yet again to 16 February 2015, featuring a revised track listing, including the new version of "Doing It" featuring Rita Ora, as well as the tracks "So Over You" and "Red Balloon".

Promotion

XCX's first high-profile performance of "Boom Clap" was at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show on 24 August. She later sang "Boom Clap", followed by "Break the Rules", at the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, the American Music Awards of 2014, and on Saturday Night Live. In support of the album, Charli embarked on the Girl Power North America Tour in 2014. The tour kicked off in Orlando, Florida, on 26 September and concluded in San Francisco, California, on 25 October. She also performed the tracks from Sucker as part of her set for the Jingle Ball Tour 2014, and supported Katy Perry on European dates of her Prismatic World Tour in February and March 2015. Charli further promoted the album by embarking on an eight-date UK tour in 2015, which began in Brighton on 24 March and ended in Birmingham on 2 April.

Singles

"Boom Clap", the first single released from Sucker, was released worldwide on 17 June 2014. It was originally part of the soundtrack album for The Fault in Our Stars. The song was a commercial success, peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart and number eight on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has since sold more than one million copies in the United States, receiving platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, and has been certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry. There are two existing mixes of this song: the first and original one is heard on the film, the film's soundtrack, and the music video shot in Amsterdam; the second mix is heard on the music video shot in Japan and in this album.

"Break the Rules" was released as the second single from the album. The song and its accompanying music video were released on 25 August 2014. The song was moderately successful, reaching number four in Germany, number six in Austria, number 10 in Australia and the top 40 in Belgium, France, Norway and in Charli's native UK. Moreover, the song peaked at number 91 on the US Billboard Hot 100, her second consecutive entry on the chart.

"Doing It" was released on 3 February 2015 as the album's third single. The single version features English singer Rita Ora. Details of the collaboration first emerged when a setlist for BBC Radio 1 appeared on Twitter which featured the song. It peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart.

"Famous" was released on 29 May 2015 as the fourth and final single from the album. The music video was released on 23 March 2015.

Other songs
The tracks "London Queen" and "Gold Coins" premiered in advance of the album's release on 6 October and 17 November 2014, respectively. A music video for the song "Breaking Up" was released on 2 December 2014.

In November 2014, the album's European bonus track "Red Balloon" was used in a trailer for the 2015 animated film Home. The song was also included on the film's soundtrack, curated by Rihanna.

Critical reception

Sucker received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Sucker received an average score of 75, based on 25 reviews. Will Hermes of Rolling Stone stated that "Sucker is no retro gesture: Charli runs the album's rock & roll guitars and attitude through enough distressed digital production and thumb type vernacular to make this the first fully updated iteration of punk pop in ages... Like so many of the pop pleasures here, it's a sentiment that just never gets old." Miles Raymer of Entertainment Weekly commented that "SUCKER is pop-punk, radically redefined and dragged, middle fingers waving, into the future." Brian Mansfield of USA Today wrote, "On Sucker, XCX doesn't just tweak the ear-candy pop template, she blows it up, then pries the shiniest bits from the asphalt. It's still sweet once she's finished sticking it back together, but it's got a bit of crunch, too." At AllMusic, Heather Phares opined that the album's "mix of youth and sophistication is more than a little volatile, and sometimes it feels like XCX is still figuring out what really works for her music... Nevertheless, it succeeds as an introduction to Charli XCX the Pop Star while retaining her whip-smart songwriting and attitude."

Dan Weiss of Spin expressed that "Sucker is just an exceptionally good pop album... Those are rare enough as it is." James Rainis of Slant Magazine viewed the album as "the sound of a long-incubating star emerging so fully formed on an international stage that it's difficult to figure that an artist gifted with so much sneering bravado was ever thought of as an underdog... Someone needed to author the aural equivalent of the body shot, and Charli XCX has provided the platonic ideal of just that: a party album charged equally with punkish rebellion, hip-hop cool, and pop universality." Jamieson Cox of Pitchfork felt that "Sucker isn't an endpoint for Charli [...] and it's not her finest work, but it's plenty good enough to rope a cohort of new fans into what's promising to be one hell of a creative ride." Jon Pareles, reviewing positively for The New York Times, emphasizes "Sucker is far more direct; it's smart, loud, cheeky, gimmick-loving pop, intent on making every song go bang... The ambition and calculation on Sucker are overt but not a deal-breaker. It's a brittle, professional album full of sonic treats."

Accolades
The album was named the best pop album of the year by Rolling Stone, who said, "Charli XCX is the pop star 2014 was waiting for: a badass songwriting savant who's the most fun girl in any room she steps into. The 22-year-old artist came into her own with Sucker, a middle-finger-waving teenage riot packed into 13 punky gems. It's a dance party, a mosh pit and a feminist rally – Charli's definitely in charge." Spin ranked it the sixth pop album of 2014, commenting that "Charli's second full-length shaves off the densely layered atmospherics and dreamy soundscapes." Meanwhile, Jason Lipshutz from Billboard listed Sucker as the second best pop album of 2014. NME listed Sucker as the 32nd best album of 2015.

Commercial performance
Sucker debuted at number 28 on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 28,907 copies, making it Charli's first album to enter the chart. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at number 15, selling 5,622 copies in its first week. The album's UK sales as of May 2020 stood at 46,667 units.

In March 2014, Valeo Foods added Rowse Honey, the largest producer of honey and the category leader in the UK, to its brands.

In June 2015, Valeo Foods announced its acquisition of Dolciaria Balconi, an Italian food producer that specializes in sponge cake, wafers and biscuits.

On 28 July 2015, Origin Enterprises plc, announced the disposal of its 32% equity interest in the consumer foods group Valeo Foods Group Limited to CapVest Partners LLP.

title: Anomioidea

text:
The Anomioidea are a superfamily of marine bivalve molluscs that include two families, the Anomiidae and the Placunidae, the jingle shells and saddle shells.  They are mainly sessile bivalves that superficially resemble true oysters (partially in that they cement themselves to a substrate).  Though they are pleurothetic, however, the Anomioidea attach via their right valve rather than the usual left.  Their irregular shells are inequilateral, are round to oval, with a large byssal notch.  The byssus itself is usually short and plug-like.  The left valve is convex, and the hinge is considered edentulous.

title: Alfred F. Johnson

text:
Alfred Forbes Johnson, MC (November 1884 – 27 March 1972) was an English academic librarian, bibliographer, curator, and expert in typography. He was Deputy Keeper of Printed Books at the British Museum. He is author of many bibliographical reference works, and the standard Encyclopaedia of Typefaces.

Biography
Johnson was born in Nottingham in 1884, to John and Ellen Angeline Johnson, née Beilby. He was educated at Nottingham Grammar School and read Classics at the University of Manchester, where he took a first-class degree, played for the university football team, and met his wife, Sarah Elizabeth Jackson. He began working at the British Museum in 1906, joining the Department of Printed Books, which eventually became the British Library, where he was a pioneer in sixteenth-century French and Italian bibliography and printers' type faces.

In World War I he joined the Artists Rifles and was commissioned from there as a lieutenant in the artillery. He saw action in France, where he was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry. After the war he returned to the British Museum, where he became Deputy Keeper of Printed Books while producing many books and monographs on typographical subjects. In 1956 he was awarded the Bibliographical Society's gold medal for distinguished services to bibliography, and he was president of the society from 1956 to 1958.

Johnson made a major contribution towards the dating and attribution of early printed books from their typography which led him to a wider interest in typefaces and design. This culminated in the publication of The Encyclopaedia of Typefaces, produced in collaboration with W Turner Berry and W P Jaspert in 1953. The Encyclopaedia has been through 11 editions and has become "the leading guide to typefaces".

title: George Nelson Godwin

text:
George Nelson Godwin (1846–1907) was an English cleric, known for his antiquarian works with emphasis on Hampshire.

Life
The only surviving son of Edward Godwin, a draper of Winchester and then a farmer of Melksham, by his wife Mary Tugwell, he was born at Winchester on 4 July 1846. With an only sister, Sarah Louisa, he was brought up there, studying at a local private school. After private tuition, and qualifying in 1868 at the London College of Divinity, he was ordained deacon in 1869 and priest in 1870. Going on to Trinity College, Dublin, he gained the Cluff memorial prize in 1882, and graduated B.A. in 1884 and B.D. in 1887.

After filling curacies at Heanor (1869–72), East Bergholt (1873–6), and Capel St. Mary (1876–7), Godwin was appointed a chaplain of the forces in 1877. He continued with the army until 1890, serving at Malta, Cairo, Dublin, the Curragh, and Netley Hospital. From 1890 to 1893 he was vicar of East Boldre, and after holding other parochial appointments, became curate in charge of Stokesby in Norfolk.
He also wrote articles for the Norwich Mercury newspaper.

Godwin died suddenly of heart failure while staying for the night at an inn in Little Walsingham on 10 January 1907, and was buried in the churchyard there.

Works
Godwin was best known as an antiquary and local historian, one of the founders of the Hampshire Field Club and Archæological Society, and as an authority on the history of Hampshire and neighbouring counties. He was editor of Hampshire Notes and Queries 1896–9. Civil War in Hampshire, 1642-45, and the Story of Basing House (1882; new edit. 1904) contained researches into original authorities. He wrote, with other topographical works, The Green Lanes of Hampshire, Surrey, and Sussex (1882), and (with Henry March Gilbert) Bibliotheca Hantoniensis (1891). He published also:

 A Guide to the Maltese Islands, 1880.
 Materials for English Church History, 1625-49, 1895.

 A Fourteenth Century Agas. 1905
Nelson and 'The Old Wartime'. 1905.
 An 'Ancient' Victory. 1905.
 Norman Cross : an English 'Concentration Camp'. 1905.
All four serialised in the Norwich Mercury newspaper.

Family
Godwin was twice married:

 on 13 February 1870 to Mary Godwin (not closely related), by whom he had one daughter;
 on 8 August 1899 to Rose Elizabeth, daughter of George Jay of Camden Town, who survived him without issue.

title: Malt Shovel, Spondon

text:
The Malt Shovel is a Grade II listed public house at Potter Street, Spondon, Derby. The pub is known for its unmodernised period interiors and internal design.

Description

The pub has its own individual character, with a number of rooms from a large bar to small "snugs". The decoration is suggestive of times gone by; in fact the pub is on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. This means that CAMRA has identified this pub as being in the "first division" with regard to the historic quality of its interior design. This is one of fewer than 300 pubs chosen for their impressive, largely intact, historical interiors from the estimated 50,000 pubs that exist in the United Kingdom.

The room that attracts most attention is labelled "B". Snug "B" contains a 1920s hearth and a style of seating that is now found in only a small number of such "snugs" in England. The only other snug with high backed seats in Derbyshire is at the Holly Bush Inn, Makeney. The name "B" is a peculiarity of local licensing which previously made landlords clearly indicate which rooms were licensed for the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Each licensed room, including the cellar, was given an identifying letter. Like other features of the pub the reason for it being created has now disappeared, but the sign "B" remains. The requirement to label the room "B" is long forgotten, but previous landlords refused to have it changed. In the early 1990s, the landlords feared that the brewery that owned the building were planning to sell the pub. This may have resulted in the interior being refurbished and as a result they bought the pub to prevent this happening. In the confusion, the landlords ended up running two pubs in Spondon, although they did find time to install a kitchen and introduce pub-food at the Malt Shovel.

The most recent room's decoration dates from the 1990s and this has been internally divided by another bar. The smaller part has just tables and chairs whilst the larger section includes a full sized billiards table and a dartboard.

The pub serves traditional real ale and an extensive range of freshly cooked pub food, from bacon cobs and burgers to wholesome meals. The pub is not in the centre of Spondon, but down a minor road. Around the back of the pub is an extensive lawned beer garden with a covered area and children's climbing toys.

In 1333 or 1340, a disastrous fire started at a pub called the Malt Shovel and aided by the wind, swept through Spondon destroying the church and most of the houses. This is known as "the Great Fire of Spondon". Local historians although intrigued by the story say there is no proof that this pub sits on the same site as the 14th century pub, although both are known to be on the site of malting houses. The current pub was largely built in the late 18th or early 19th century, although some parts date from 1680.

A short book describing the pub's history was published in 2011.

Since 1949 it has belonged to the War Office (now the Ministry of Defence), and currently hosts an Army Cadet training centre.

History
The estate of Frimley Manor was sold by Sir Henry Tichborne to James Lawrell the elder for £20,000 in 1789. In 1806 the estate was divided. James Lawrell the younger kept what was referred to as Frimley Manor, while Frimley Park mansion and  of land were sold to John Tekells.

In the early 1860s most of the estate was parcelled up and sold off. The house with  of land was purchased by the Whig politician William Crompton-Stansfield in 1862.

Theodore Alexander Ralli bought the estate in 1920, and commissioned Edward White ( 1873–1952) to lay out a formal rose garden and sunken garden. In 1947 (shortly after the end of World War II) more land was sold separately and the remaining  was purchased by the Officers' Association who two years later (in 1949) sold what remained of the estate to the current owners, the War Department (now the Ministry of Defence).

One was born in Niigata and grew up in Saitama. While visiting his grandparents in Niigata, his parents bought him a series of manga called Crayon Shin-chan by Yoshito Usui. One was a fan of the manga, which influenced his decision to become a manga artist, and began practising on his notebook during middle and high school.

Career
In July 2009, One began publishing a short version of One-Punch Man on Shintosha, a comic-posting website. He later began irregularly uploading One-Punch Man to his web page FC2 on July 3, 2009. Originally, One-Punch Man was intended to be a one-off to further practice drawing, but became a series following positive reception. Due to its humorous setting and story, One-Punch Man became popular in Japan.  One had a special interest in creating a protagonist that had already become the strongest in the world, which enabled him to concentrate on a different perspective of the background and storytelling. One stated that he envisioned the protagonist, Saitama, as a character capable of adapting to the world that surrounded him, with his primary obstacles being mundane things. Before One decided to become a full-time manga artist, he had taken several hiatuses from updating the webcomic, including a one-year hiatus in February 2010 to work at a full-time job, and a two-year hiatus after releasing the 109th chapter in January 2017.

Manga artist Yusuke Murata was interested in One's work and eventually reached out to One. The two would collaborate in publishing two one-shots in 2012; Dotō no Yūshatachi, which released on April 1 in Weekly Young Jump, and Dangan Tenshi Fan Club, which released on April 17 in Miracle Jump. A remake of One-Punch Man  began serialization in Shueisha's Tonari no Young Jump website on June 14, 2012. One-Punch Man would also receive an anime adaptation, announced in the 15th issue of Weekly Young Jump on March 10, 2015. The first season aired in Japan from October 5 to December 21, 2015, with live-action film adaptation also in development. The same year, One wrote and illustrated Mob Psycho 100, which began serialization in Shogakukan's Ura Sunday webcomic magazine on April 18, 2012. The protagonist, Shigeo Kageyama, is meant to come off as "somewhat standoffish or nerdy," while also possessing heroic traits. The series finished on December 22, 2017. On November 26, 2022, Versus began serialization in Kodansha's Shonen Sirius magazine, written by One and illustrated by  Kyōtarō Azuma.

title: Platine Wars

text:
The Platine Wars is a term used by Brazilian historiography to refer to a series of diplomatic and military conflicts along the 19th century between the Empire of Brazil and neighbouring countries in the Río de la Plata Basin.

These conflicts began in 1816, due to the intention of Prince Regent John of annexing the Banda Oriental (modern-day Uruguay) and pushing the Brazilian border to the left bank of the River Plate estuary.

The most notable wars in this period include:

Luso-Brazilian conquest of the Banda Oriental - 1816–1820
Cisplatine War - 1825–1828
Uruguayan Civil War - 1839–1851
Platine War - 1851–1852
Uruguayan War - 1864–1865
Paraguayan War - 1864–1870

Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes is an album produced by T Bone Burnett featuring a collective of musicians recording under the moniker The New Basement Tapes—Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James and Marcus Mumford.

The album consists of a series of tracks based on recently uncovered lyrics handwritten by Bob Dylan in 1967; these were probably written in the period between his motorcycle accident (July 29, 1966) and the first recordings in the spring of 1967 in the "Red Room" in Dylan's house, where the first recordings of The Basement Tapes took place. The album was released November 11, 2014 in both a standard 15-track release and a "Deluxe Version" featuring 20 tracks.

The album cover image is a photograph by Jacob Riis titled "Mullen's Alley". It was taken in New York City in 1888.

Background

In early May 1967, Dylan told reporter Michael Iachetta: "Songs are in my head like they always are, but they are not going to get written down until some people come forth and make up for some of the things that had happened", probably referring to his conflict with his manager Albert Grossman. During the period in which he started recording with The Hawks, Dylan changed his writing habits and wrote his text directly on a typewriter.

Dylan's publisher contacted Burnett regarding the box of handwritten lyrics that had been found, dating back to Dylan's Basement Tapes days, and asked if he had any interest in doing something with them. As soon as Burnett was assured that Dylan was on board with the project, he agreed to it. Burnett selected his band based on their talent and collaborative style, as well as their interest as "musical archaeologists". Each member of the group was sent the collection of lyrics, and each arrived at the recording session with a selection of tunes, some having set only some of the lyrics, others having set all of them. Not wishing to encourage competition, the group decided to record all the tunes, including multiple settings of the same lyrics. Of the resulting 40 tracks, 20 are included on the present album.

Actor Johnny Depp played guitar on "Kansas City", filling in for Elvis Costello, who could not attend one of the recording sessions due to a previously scheduled concert with The Roots in Las Vegas. Depp also joined the band onstage, along with Haim, for one of their only live performances at the Ricardo Montalban Theater in Los Angeles.

Reception

In a Los Angeles Times article in 2014, writer Randy Lewis wrote,
The album aims to honor the freewheeling musical spirit and collaborative creative process of the original sessions. One intriguing facet is the collaboration among the participants. Each has come up with his or her own music for many of the lyrics, resulting in multiple versions of the same songs and allowing a perspective on the ways different artists respond to Dylan's lyrics.

A review in The Guardian stated, Lost on the River recalls the spontaneity and sheer love of music-making of the original, but it’s not hamstrung by reverence or caution.

In Uncut, Graeme Thomson wrote, Lost On The River is an album of good, sometimes excellent songs with a unique creation story which, in the end, adds little of substance to the narrative of perhaps the most mythologised recordings in history. As footnotes go, however, it’s an entertaining, energised and often fascinating one.

Writing for MXDWN, Elliot Greiner said, Fulfilling the marketable promise that supergroups bring, Burnett’s ensemble infuses great musicianship into the project, however a disconnect remains; Lost is an album of Dylan songs that sounds like an album of anything but.

The critical aggregator website Metacritic awarded Lost on the River a score of 75 indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on the published reviews of 18 critics.

Bob Dylan's original Basement Tapes

Among Bob Dylan’s cultural milestones, the Basement Tapes – around 100 songs written and recorded by Dylan in 1967, backed by members of his touring ensemble who would later achieve their own fame as The Band – have fascinated successive generations of musicians, fans and cultural critics. Having transformed music and culture during the preceding five years, Dylan had achieved great fame by the mid-1960s through the release of three historic albums, the single, "Like a Rolling Stone", a controversial "electric" performance at the Newport Folk Festival and tours of the United States, Australia and Europe which polarized his audience. Dylan's large body of work in that decade was interrupted in July 1966 when it was reported that he had been badly injured in a motorcycle accident in upstate New York.

Recovering from his injuries and away from the public eye, Dylan ensconced himself, along with Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson and, later, Levon Helm, in the basement of a small house in West Saugerties, New York – dubbed "Big Pink" by the group. This collective recorded more than a hundred songs over the next several months – traditional covers, wry and humorous ditties, off-the cuff performances and dozens of newly-written Bob Dylan songs, including "I Shall Be Released", "The Mighty Quinn", "Tears of Rage", and "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere".

When rumors and acetates of some basement recordings began to surface, the album Great White Wonder appeared in a few record shops in 1969 as one of the first bootleg records. Dylan's original recordings remained commercially unavailable until 1975, when Columbia Records released 16 of Dylan's songs on The Basement Tapes album.

title: TiVo Media File System

text:
The MFS or Media File System is a proprietary file system used on TiVo hard drives for fault tolerant real-time recording of live TV.

Although MFS is still not particularly well understood by programmers unaffiliated with the TiVo corporation, enough is known about the file system to be able to do reads and limited writes. Applications exist to manipulate the file system and objects within it. Most of these applications are reverse engineered from software found on the TiVo itself, as many of the early TiVo programs were little more than specialized scripts that manipulated the data.

The MFS file system is organized more like a database, including transaction logging and rollback capabilities. It utilizes multiple partitions on the drive for a complete system. The partitions come in pairs, with one being the "Application" partition, and the other being the "Media" partition. The Media region is invariably quite large, and organized into long continuous blocks of data, with a variable block size that has a minimum of at least 1 megabyte. This is because it is designed to store large sections of video.

Each object in the TiVo file system is assigned an ID, which is internally called the "FSID" (presumably, file system ID). There are (at least) 4 types of objects that MFS supports: Streams (recordings, audio or video), Directory, Database, and Files. All Stream objects are stored in the MFS media regions, while the other types are stored in "application" regions.

The file system itself is implemented entirely in the Linux userspace. The primary reason TiVo devised such a system is because they needed a way to store large continuous sections of data easily in a manner that lent itself well to streaming that data directly to the media decoders in the TiVo devices, without being CPU dependent. Thus, the CPU has very little involvement in playback and recording functionality, simply directing the encoder/decoder chips to stream data directly to the drives via direct memory access while mapping sections of virtual memory onto the drive. The main CPU then orchestrates the entire affair. The result of this is that data stored on the MFS media region is not formatted into normal files, as such, but is a direct data stream that is indexed by the database sections in the MFS application region.

title: Norma Parker

text:
Norma Alice Brown (née Parker) CBE (1906–2004) was an Australian social worker and educator. She is regarded as one of the founders of social work in Australia and established Catholic social work at St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne in 1932 and St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney four years later.

Life
She was born in Perth, Western Australia to Ernest and Annie Parker and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Western Australia in 1924. "She became interested in social work training through Dr Ethel Stoneman, head of the university's course in psychology, who wanted social workers for her child guidance clinic, so she went, on a scholarship, to the Catholic University of America in Washington, where she specialised in psychiatric social work for her MA and Diploma of Social Service." In 1957 she married "Mont" Brown, a former soldier who had been a prisoner of war who worked on the Burma Railway. He died in 1964.

Along with Elvira Lyons, Constance Moffitt and Eileen Davidson, she helped found a "Catholic Welfare Bureau" (now known as Centacare) with branches in Melbourne (1935), Sydney (1941) and Adelaide (1942). Together, the four also "...established the Catholic Trained Social Workers' Association in 1940. Parker was president of the first state professional social workers' association from 1940 to 1943 and was instrumental in the foundation of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW), serving as its inaugural president from 1946 to 1954."

In May 1943, she opened the first social work department in an Australian mental hospital at Callan Park and was also the first psychiatric worker appointed by the Department of Public Health.

She was appointed the associate professor and head of the Department of Social Work at the University of New South Wales from 1966 to 1969. She was made Commander of the Order of the British Empire (Civil) on 3 June 1972, for "services to education and child welfare", and awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters from Sydney University in 1986.
The Norma Parker Correctional Centre for Women (part of the Parramatta Female Factory) is named after her.

title: James Young Gibson

text:
James Young Gibson (19 February 1826 – 2 October 1886) was an essayist and translator noted for his work helping Alexander James Duffield translate Don Quixote into English in 1881, and on his own translations of Journey to Parnassus in 1883, Numantia in 1885 and El Cid in 1887.

Life
He was born in Edinburgh, the son of William Gibson, a merchant in the city.

He attended the University of Edinburgh from 1842 and then studied divinity with the United Presbyterian Church from 1847 to 1852. In his vacation 1851–1852 he studied at Halle University in Germany.

On his return he received a tutoring post with Henry Birkbeck's family at Keswick Hall whilst awaiting a post as a minister. In July 1853 he was ordained and took up a post in the United Presbyterian church in Melrose in the Scottish Borders. He held this role until his health broke down in 1859. He then took a long break in which he devoted himself to study and travelling, including a trip to Cairo and the Holy Land in 1865.

In 1871 he accompanied Alexander J. Duffield on a tour of iron mines in Spain. During this period Gibson developed a strong love of Spanish poetry, and began working on translations. In 1872 he returned to Britain, living in London. By 1878 he was again in poor health. During this period he worked on Duffield's translations of "Don Quixote", adding a more poetical edge to these. This was eventually published in 1881.

On 11 September 1883, rather late in life, he married Margaret Dunlop Smith, one of the "Westminster Sisters". The marriage took place in Wildbad in Germany. She was an intellectual and author having published "How the Codex was Found". From 1884 they lived in Long Ditton.

He died at Ramsgate but is buried in Dean Cemetery in Edinburgh near the north-east corner of the original cemetery. The bronze portrait on his monument is by Francis John Williamson.

Unpublished works and some of his memoirs were posthumously published by his wife, Margaret Dunlop Smith, with additional memoirs by her sister, Agnes Smith Lewis.

title: Bringing Sexy Back

text:
Bringing Sexy Back was an Australian weight loss reality television show that aired on the Seven Network on Tuesday nights at 7:30pm.

Show details
Hosted by Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage, each week the show features a transformation involving one everyday Australian hoping to get his or her lifestyle back by improving his or her self-image.

The show premiered on Tuesday, 12 August 2014 at 7:30pm, but could only manage a national audience of 654,000, placing it third in its timeslot. Following the death of Robin Williams' earlier that day,  Network Ten hastily scheduled the film Mrs. Doubtfire in the same timeslot.

On Wednesday, 17 September, the Seven Network removed the show from its schedule due to its continuing low ratings to make way for a new season of Dancing with the Stars. With only two episodes remaining, they were eventually aired on 6 and 13 January 2015.

The program was syndicated to Foxtel channel Style Network in May 2016.

Description

The adults reach  of length. This leafhopper shows a distinctive mosaic-like pattern on the forewings and an orange band between the eyes. Orientus ishidae is associated with willow (Salix species), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and with many woody plants and deciduous trees. It may cause serious leaf damages to several tree species and is implicated as a vector of the phytoplasmic flavescence dorée (FD) disease in vineyards. Adults can be found from June to October.

The nymphs are strongly coloured, the patterning is variable. They often adopt a tail-up posture in response to danger, as seen on the left.

Distribution
This species is endemic to the East Palearctic realm and it is present in the Nearctic realm and the Oriental realm. It has been introduced in United Kingdom (first reported in Peckham, 2011), Germany, Italy, Switzerland and in several other European countries.

title: MENA Tour

text:
The MENA Tour is a golf tour in the Middle East and North Africa. It was founded in 2011 by the Dubai-based Shaikh Maktoum Golf Foundation.  It was previously affiliated to The R&A and the Arab Golf Federation. The previous iteration of the tour was open to both professionals and amateurs.

In 2016 and 2017, the top five professionals on the Order of Merit received Sunshine Tour cards for the following season, with those 6th to 15th earning entry into the final stage of the Sunshine Tour's Q School. The MENA Tour was included in the Official World Golf Ranking from May 2016, with three points awarded for 54-hole events and five for 72-hole events.

The tour was cancelled in 2018 but started again in 2019, with five events planned for February and March 2019 with a further five in October and November. The schedule was revised in 2020 with all tournaments being played from February to April. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic only 5 events were played. No tournaments were held in 2021. At the end of 2021 the tour announced its intention to merge with the Asian Development Tour in 2023, with a number of co-sanctioned events to be played in 2022. In October 2022, the MENA Tour entered into a "strategic alliance" with LIV Golf; the arrangement was conceived with the intent of immediately affording LIV Golf events Official World Golf Ranking points.
