title: Fallout 1.5: Resurrection

text:
Fallout 1.5: Resurrection is a mod for Fallout 2. Developed by four fans of the game from the Czech Republic, a version was released there on 3 October 2013. Working on the mod during their free time, the development took approximately 10 years. The mod offers a completely new story and locations. It is estimated that finishing the game takes 25 hours.

The title Resurrection symbolizes not only a revival of an old Fallout but also the protagonist of the mod who is resurrected.

The English version of the mod was released on 15 July 2016.

Gameplay

The mod features the same gameplay as original games. The player is free to move at will until they enter into combat. Combat gives them a number of action points to move, fire, check their equipment, reload and the like. When a player uses up all of their action points, they end their turn and enemies start theirs. If the player survives unharmed, they have their action points restored. Injuries and poisons can reduce the number of action points available both in a single term and semi-permanently until combat ends and the player can be treated. Combat and completion of jobs or quests reward the player with experience points with which they can level up their characters and apply beneficial perks to become more suited to the dangerous post-apocalyptic world. General gameplay consists of traveling and interacting with local inhabitants and organizations to complete goals and aid or inhibit the NPCs. The player's actions dictate what future story or gameplay opportunities are available. Mature themes such as alcohol consumption, drug usage and sex are present.

Organized crime, prostitution and slavery are major elements of the setting. Character creation is based on the SPECIAL role-playing system.

Plot
The story is set in 2170 in what was once New Mexico. The injured protagonist wakes up in a cave with amnesia. They start to search for hints of their past but the only clue they have is a mysterious talisman.

On their way they come across a group of ghouls who act as though they know the player and then proceed to try and to kill them. The player then finds a dying ghoul named Thomas, who claims they were the player's best friend. Thomas reveals to the player that they are members of the Cult of the Rebirth, led by a person known as the Saviour. The cult has a machine that turns ghouls into normal humans. The problem is that turning a Ghoul human again requires at least one normal person and the turned person later dies of tissue decomposition. The protagonist is, along with the Saviour, one of turned Ghouls so it means that they will die as well. In the Rebirth base the player can choose whether they join the cult once again or destroy the cult.

If the player joins the cult once again, they can help the cult destroy the city of Albuquerque, but they will die in the battle. The Rebirth then dominates the whole area which foreshadows a conflict with the New California Republic.

If the player destroys the base of the Rebirth which then terminates hope of the Ghouls to become normal again, the cult is destroyed and the protagonist goes to wasteland where they commit suicide to avoid a slow death by tissue decomposition.

Development
The development started in 2003 when the official editor and a script documentation for Fallout was released. It took 10 years because developers underestimated the project size. Because of this, the main story and many concepts were changed during the development. The mod was finished and released in 2013. The English translated version of the mod was released on July 15, 2016.

Reception
The mod has received mostly positive reviews since its release, with an average score of 75% at Czech videogame database Databaze-her. The mod was elected 6th best game of the year by readers of Bonusweb. Readers of Eurogamer Czech elected it to be third-best role-playing game of the year.

title: Monastère de Chalais

text:
The Monastère de Chalais, also called Châlais-sur-Voreppe or Notre-Dame de Châlais, is a Dominican convent near the town of Voreppe, Isère, France.
The convent dates from 1101.
The monastery at Chalais began as a house of male hermits, under the guidance of S Hugh of Chateauneuf, like the Carthusian monks.
At first the Order of Chalais was independent, but in 1303 it was absorbed by the Carthusians. The monastery was partly destroyed in 1562 during French Wars of Religion, but was rebuilt. The state seized it during the French Revolution (1789–99) and sold it to a private owner.
From 1844 to 1887 it was again a monastery, this time of the  Dominican friars, before again being sold. The present community of Dominican nuns bought the property in 1963 and restored it. Today the nuns of Chalais manufacture Monastic biscuits to cover their expenses.

Location
The monastery is about  from Voreppe along a winding forest road.
It is located on a plateau overlooking Voreppe at an altitude of , which is often snow-covered in winter.
The monastery is set in a beautiful location in the Chartreuse Mountains. It has a cemetery and a Romanesque church.

Chalais can be reached by foot from Voreppe, to the west, with a climb of about two hours. It is connected by a difficult road to the Grande Chartreuse convent.
The monastery is on a conical hill with a cross on the summit, about a half hour walk away.
From the summit there is a view of mountains and the whole valley of the Isère river as far as the Rhône.
The atmosphere of the remote location is peaceful and conducive to meditation.

History

The monastery originated when saint Hugues de Châteauneuf, bishop of Grenoble, established some monks at Chalais in 1101.
At first there were just two or three monks.
They were called the "hermits of Chalais". They lived apart from the world, followed the rule of Saint Benedict, practiced forestry and raised sheep.
In 1110 the occupants were thinking of abandoning the hermitage when they were given donations and support by the pious Count of Albon and his wife Mathilde.
The monks built a Romanesque church, which still stands.

In 1125 Pope Honorius II took Chalais under his protection.
Without sufficient income, and with many applicants for admission, Chalais was forced to spread to other locations.
In 1148 the fathers established a rule, which they called the "Charter of Charity of the Order of Chalais."
At its peak in 1205 the Order of Chalais had ten abbeys and three priories.
In the late 13th century the order declined at the expense of other, more prosperous orders.
On 24 December 1303 the Bishop of Grenoble gave Chalais to the Grande Chartreuse.

The Carthusians maintained the abbey as an autonomous community.
It was relatively prosperous although with limited resources.
During the religious wars of the 16th century the abbey was plundered and partly destroyed in 1562.
Without the resources to pay for rebuilding, the Chartreuse de Chalais lost its autonomy and became a subsidiary of the Grande Chartreuse convent.
The Carthusians of this convent used the abbey as a place of refuge for their old and weak members.
The number of priests and brothers gradually declined, with only five remaining when the French Revolution began in 1789.
The building was taken over as national property, and sold to a private owner.

In April 1844 the Dominican Abbé Lacordaire obtained permission to purchase Chalais and establish a Dominican novitiate.
The house of study accommodated about forty brothers. A small new house was built for visitors.
The religious painter Hyacinthe Besson was appointed the first Master of the novices.
The house was populated by French novices and students who had joined the Dominicans in Italy.
In 1859 Lacordaire moved the community to Saint-Maximin, Var. Chalais became a rest home for Dominicans.
In 1887 it again became private property when it was sold to an industrialist from Grenoble.

In 1932 the owners of the property, the Nicolet-Courbier family, invited the Dominicans from the house of study near Chambéry to spend their holidays there.
During World War II (1939–45) maintenance of the property was difficult. In 1943 the French Resistance established a base there.
In 1956 a first attempt was made to restore the buildings, but had to be abandoned due to lack of resources.
However, a road was built in 1958.
In 1963 Dominican nuns from Oullins, near Lyon, settled in Chalais and began to build a new convent on the ruins of the old one.
At first they had many financial difficulties.
In 1966 they were joined by the nuns from Chinon.

Today

The choir, transept and a bay of the nave survived the sacking on 1562, and the Carthusians rebuilt the rest of the Romanesque church.
In the 18th century they erected a Carthusian porch and belfry near the west entrance of the church.
The interior of the church has ribbed vaults, with the key of the vault representing the mystic lamb surrounded by the four evangelists.
There are slender columns flanking the choir window, which give elegance to the abbey church.

As of 2014 there was a community of twenty nuns in the convent, finding a stable income from the manufacture of biscuits.
The monastery buildings cover an area of  of which  is occupied by the biscuitry.
The buildings include a dining hall, library, offices, laundry room and the cells of the nuns on the top floor.
The nuns follow the rule of St. Augustine.
Their life is organized around the liturgy, study and the work of making biscuits.
They also welcome visitors who want to spend some time sharing their life of silence and prayer.
There is room for 25 people in the hotel. The "hermitage", an old foresters' house, can accommodate youth groups or families.

title: Jewell Town District

text:
The Jewell Town District of South Hampton, New Hampshire, encompasses a colonial-era industrial village with a history dating to 1687.  It is centered at the junction of West Whitehall and Jewell Streets, which is just south of a bend in the Powwow River, the source of the power for the mills that were built here.  The area was settled in 1687 by Thomas Jewell, and by the early 19th century included a variety of mills as well as a bog iron works.  The district now includes only remnants of its industrial past, and features a collection of 18th and early-19th century residential architecture.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Description and history
Jewell Town is located in central southern South Hampton, hugging the state line with Massachusetts.  It is now a largely rural residential area, with farmland and former farmland and woodlands predominating the landscape.  The historic district is about  in size, and extends along West Whitehall Road from crossing point of the state line in the west, to a triangular junction with Jewell Street and Whitehall Road in the east.  This junction is between two bridges across the Powwow River, and is the most densely built part of the district.  West Whitehall Road is sparsely lined with houses ranging in age from about 1740 to the 20th century.  All are wood frame structure, 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 stories in height, and the majority were built before about 1850 in Colonial, Federal and Greek Revival styles.  Later constructions are in more vernacular forms, although there is one early 20th-century Colonial Revival house.

The area was first settled in 1687 by Thomas Jewell. The waters of the Powwow River were recognized from an early date as a useful source of power, and the bend on the Powwow River was the site of most of South Hampton's 18th-century industry.  Industries in the area included several sawmills, a gristmill, fulling mill, and an iron works.  In the 19th century more specialized businesses arose, included manufacturers of pails, matches, and axles.  Water-based industry was effectively killed when the Salisbury Mill Company, located just to the south in Amesbury, Massachusetts, bought up all of the water rights and reserved them for its own use.

title: Surgana State

text:
Surgana State was a princely state of the Bombay Presidency during the era of the British Raj. It was the only state belonging to the Nasik Agency. Its capital was Surgana in Nashik District of present-day Maharashtra. It was ruled by Kolis of Pawar dynasty.

Surgana State's last ruler signed the instrument of accession to join India in March 1948.

History
Surgana State was founded before the 1800s. Surgana State became a British protectorate in 1818. The British made Bhikaji Rao as the new chief as he helped them against the Marathas. Bhikaji Rao was murdered in the riot caused by the mother of Malharrao and her brother-in-law, Pilaji. Pilaji was captured and executed by the British. The descendants of Malharrao were allowed the share in revenues of the state in 1846 and were granted an allowance grant in 1877. The chief of the state had powers to elect a Representative Member of the Chambers of Princes from 1921 to 1947. In March 1948, the last chief Dhairyashil Rao signed the Gujarat States Merger Agreement and ceded the state to India.

Later Dhairyashil Rao also served as the Member of the Rajya Sabha in 1952–1968 and 1972–1978.

The Princely State was bordered on the south by Peinth in Nasik, and in the west by the Bansda and Dharampur States.

Rulers
The rulers of the state bore the title deshmukh. Surgana State's rulers were said to belong to the Mahadev Kolis.

title: Kokusai himitsu keisatsu: Kagi no kagi

text:
, also known as Key of Keys, is a 1965 Japanese comedy-spy film directed by Senkichi Taniguchi. It is the fourth installment in the Kokusai himitsu keisatsu series, a parody of James Bond-style spy movies.

Woody Allen used footage from , the third installment, along with Key of Keys, for his directorial debut, What's Up, Tiger Lily? In the film, the original dialogue is redubbed in English, transforming the plot into a comedic story centered around a secret egg salad recipe.

Plot
In Tonwan, where he infiltrated, Kitami received a request from Suritai, the country's intelligence chief, to steal a large sum of hidden funds from Gegeng, the leader of the anti-government guerrilla group called "Yami." Kitami, along with Meichin and Shiran, arrived in Japan to track down Gegeng's gang, which profited from illegal gambling and prostitution. They joined forces with Cai, a gangster who was enraged by Gegeng's encroachment on their Yokohama territory. Disguised and aboard their ship, they aimed to seize Gegeng's funds but were met with a surprise—instead of cash, they discovered a coded message on a piece of paper.

title: Church of Our Lady of the Snows (Prague)

text:
The Church of Our Lady of the Snows () is a Catholic church established in 1347 near Jungmann Square in Prague, Czech Republic. It is operated by the Franciscans and was the site of the murders of the Martyrs of Prague in 1611.

This church has one of the highest vaults in Prague (). It was supposed to be the second biggest church in Prague (after St. Vitus Cathedral), but it was not completed. The current form consists only of the presbytery of the church.

History
The church along with a monastery of the Carmelite order was founded in 1347 on the occasion of the coronation of Charles IV and his wife Blanche of Valois. The Carmelites were a mendicant order since 1245, which meant that they were not allowed to own any land. They therefore had no sources for building the church. Charles IV donated them a large plot, which they could partly rent, and the wood which had been used to build his coronation hall. This, along with contributions from the citizens of Prague, was enough to construct the currently visible part of the building. The construction of the church was delayed because of the problems with funds.

During the Hussite Wars the construction was interrupted, the church was heavily damaged, and the local monks left the monastery. The church fell into disrepair by the end of the 16th century. At the beginning of the 17th century the church was taken over by the Franciscans to whom the church was given by the King of Bohemia Rudolf II.

In 1611, during the Passau army incursion, fourteen monks were killed, when a rabble from the city of Prague attacked and looted the monastery. These monks are known as Fourteen Prague Martyrs. They were beatified in 2012.

The church itself was modified during the Renaissance and Baroque (mostly in the second half of the 17th century).

Today, the Gothic presbytery still serves as a church of Franciscans. The northern aisle is accessible from the eastern corner of the Jungmann square through the gate which originally led to the cemetery behind the church.

Architecture

According to the last archaeological research from the 1980s and preserved contemporary documentation, the church was meant to be about 110 meters long. (In comparison, the biggest Gothic cathedral in Prague St. Vitus Cathedral - is 124 meters long.) Which means that nowadays it would be occupying the whole area of the Jungmann Square, almost reaching the building of the Adria Palace on the opposite side of the square. The only part that was built according to the plans was the presbytery with two small aisles and a great bell-tower by the western side of the northern aisle.

The construction of the tower began at the beginning of the 15th century. It was heavily damaged during the Hussite Wars. Also a great bell was shot down from it. In 1683 it collapsed. The existence of this tower can be proved by its remains which can be found in the church. In the most western corner of the northern aisle, there are about 2 meters wide and 1 meter high remains of the thick tower walls and spiral staircase.

The northern aisle is partially preserved. The roof and vaults crumbled long time ago, but the outer walls with the remains of the vaults and windows are still visible. The aisle was apparently built on a different principle from the main chancel. The most obvious difference is between the system and rhythm of the windows and the buttress system. The chancel walls are designed as a skeletal system with the windows reaching almost from one pillar to the next one, providing a huge amount of light inside of the chancel, whereas the windows of the aisle are relatively smaller and do not fill the whole space between the pillars. The pillars of the main chancel also do not interact logically with the inner space of the aisle. This was caused by the changes in plans between the two phases of building the aisle and the chancel around 1379. The builders decided to make the chancel taller, which resulted in enlarging of the buttress system.

Over the entrance to the aisle is a tympanum with the relief picturing God the Father, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit. It is known as the Throne of Divine Wisdom. This tympanum was supposed to be placed on the original church portal, which was never built.

Also the vault in the main chancel is not original. The original Gothic vault, which was even higher than the current one, was already completely destroyed by the end of the 16th century. In the 17th century was the church vaulted by the Franciscans. Along with the building of the new Renaissance vault, the vaultings of the windows were lowered, which can be still seen from the outside.

During the Renaissance a new portal was also built. Above the portal, between two Gothic windows is a mosaic of Our Lady of the Snow. Above the mosaic is a Gothic rose window.

The interior was changed considerably during the Baroque era. The most important is a 29 meters high early Baroque columned altar. On its top there are statues of Virgin Mary and crucified John the Evangelist. It was made between 1649 and 1651 by an unknown artist. The painting on the bottom part of the Altar was painted by Antonín Stevens.

title: Kentucky Route 93

text:
Kentucky Route 93 (KY 93) is a 27.734-mile (44.634 km) state highway in western Kentucky.

Route description
The route is separated into two segments. The southern segment runs from Kentucky Routes 139 and 276 southeast of the unincorporated community of Lamasco to Kentucky Route 810, Kentucky Route 819, and Iuka Ferry Road northwest of Kuttawa via Lamasco, Confederate, and Eddyville. The northern segment runs from Kentucky Route 917 and Short Drive just east of Iuka to Kentucky Route 453 in rural Livingston County several miles east of Iuka via Iuka. It appears that the two segments were originally or meant to be connected, as both segments are just a few miles apart. It appears that they were to connect at the Cumberland River, at which the northern segment ends on the western bank and a rural road, likely what was or is to be part of KY 93, ends on the east bank.

History
KY 93 previously ran from the Tennessee State line in Trigg County to Fredonia via Cadiz, Eddyville and Kuttawa. KY 93 north of Eddyville is now US 641, while the highway from the Lyon-Caldwell-Trigg County tripoint southward is now signed as KY 139.

KY 93 was reassigned to US 62's old alignment west of Kuttawa to Iuka via the now-discontinued ferry service when US 62 was reallocated to a new alignment providing a more-direct route to Paducah in the mid-1950s.

title: Reuben Lamprey Homestead

text:
The Reuben Lamprey Homestead is a historic house at 416 Winnacunnet Road in Hampton, New Hampshire. Built in the 1770s, the property is the best-preserved colonial-era farm complex in the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

Description and history
The Reuben Lamprey Homestead is located on the north side of Winnacunnet Road, a busy east–west through road, between Presidential Circle and Nathaniel Way. The main house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, center chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is symmetrical, with five bays, and is simply trimmed except for the centered entrance. That is flanked by sidelight windows and recessed paneled pilasters, and is topped by a seven-light transom window and entablature. Extending to the rear of the main block are two ells, both now of 20th-century origin. A timber-framed barn stands beyond and to the right of the house.

The main house was built in the 1770s by Reuben Lamprey, descendant of one of the area's early settlers. The house, and the accompanying period barn, have seen only relatively modest alterations since their construction. The principal alterations have been the replacement of the ells, and repair work on the barn, which partially collapsed due to neglect in the 20th century. It was restored and used for a time as a well-known local antique shop. The property was sold out of the Lamprey family in 1881.

title: Live at the Village Vanguard (Geri Allen album)

text:
Live at the Village Vanguard is a live album by pianist Geri Allen, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian. It was recorded in 1990 at the Village Vanguard and released on the Japanese DIW label.

Reception

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "Live at the Village Vanguard is a good CD musically, but there's not much jump-up factor here -- it's moody and very bluesy in feeling if not actual form, almost like chamber jazz at times. The very compressed, muted recorded sound doesn't alleviate the somber aspect of the listening experience any, but jazz is about capturing the moment. And those were the moments, emotional and musical, caught by these three master musicians on those two December nights".

The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 4 stars, and wrote: "Live is both accessible and inexhaustible, making its appeal at all sorts of unexpected levels... Even allowing for the head start of Keith Jarrett's 'Standards' trio, this is probably the best piano-led group currently working."

title: Department of Registration of Persons

text:
The Department of Registration of Persons (Sinhala: පුද්ගලයින් ලියාපදිංචි කිරීමේ දෙපාර්තමේන්තුව Pudgalayin Liyapadinchi Kirimay Departhamenthuwa) is a government department within the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Sri Lanka, established in 1971. It deals with the registration of persons and the issue of national identity cards, which are mandatory in many areas of public life in Sri Lanka.

Establishment
The concept of registration of persons and issuing identity cards was the subject of an agreement made between India and Sri Lanka in 1954, The draft bill submitted to the Sri Lankan parliament in 1962 was passed as the Act of Registration of Persons No. 32 of 1968.  With the aim of activating the provisions of this Act, the Department of Registration of Persons was established on 1 October 1971.

History
The registration of legal residents over 18 years of age and issuing of identity cards was initiated according to the provisions of the 1968 Act. The first identity card was issued on 16 October 1972. Since then more than 23 million identity cards have been issued.  The 1968 Act was amended by the Act No. 28 and 37 of 1971 and No. 11 of 1981.  The 1981 amendment lowered the age of registration to 16 years.

Following the Election Special Provisions Act No. 14 of 2004, by which the national identity card would be required in future elections to prove the identity of a voter, a program to accelerate the issuing of identity cards and to computerise the Department was initiated in 2005.  In parallel to this program, departmental activities were reorganized and the official title of the Commissioner was upgraded to "Commissioner General", together with other titles of positions.

Changes to the national identity card
At first, black and white photographs were used for the identity card, but since July 2005, colour photographs have been in use.

In place of the hand-written identity card, computer printed identity cards began to be issued in December 2008 to first-time applicants born after 1 January 1991 and aged 16 or over.

Mandatory uses of the identity card
National identity cards are now essential for all examinations, and in obtaining pensions, provident funds, passports, and driving licenses.

Change of ministries
This department, which was formerly under the Ministry of Defence, is now part of the Ministry of Interior.

title: Sushil Datta

text:
Sushil Datta, also known as Sushil Datta Sharma (born February 4, 1959), is an Indian filmmaker, writer and film and media teacher based in Mumbai. During his career journey he has extensively worked in both film and television mediums.
He has also been associated with some of the country's top media companies like UTV, Balaji Telefilms, Nimbus Television & Sports and Sudhir Mishra Productions.
He is most noted for the feature film Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2003), where he served as an executive producer. In television, India's first countdown show Superhit Muqabla was also directed by him.

Early life and education
Sushil Datta's childhood was spent at various places in the country owing to his father's transferable job as an officer in the Indian Air Force. During this time he developed an interest in theatre and was actively involved as a director/actor in many such small town productions. It was his amateur production of Revti Sharan Sharma's play Deepshikha at University of Jodhpur which firmly made him realize the path which he was to follow in his life.

He kept alive his interest in arts, literature, theatre, and later cinema while supporting himself for his post graduate studies in journalism. The next logical step was joining the AJK, Mass Communication Research Centre at Jamia Millia Islamia (first Batch 1983–1985). During the master's degree course he came close to stalwarts like late Anwar Jamal Kidwai, after whom the famed AJK Mass Communication Research Centre is named. Also world-renowned documentary filmmaker James Beveridge and Directors Guild Award Winning/Gemini Nominated Director Michael Kennedy were instrumental in shaping his film and Television skills. The other teachers at Jamia Mass Communication Research Centre who influenced him were Documentary film maker Rajiv Mehrotra (currently chairman of Public Service Broadcasting Trust) and renowned wildlife film maker Mike Pandey. While at Jamia Mass Communication Research Centre he was awarded the INLAKS Scholarship for Studies in Media in India.

Career
While still a student of Jamia, he won a project of three documentaries on social issues from Government of Madhya Pradesh. Soon after he was hired by Studio IFEKT to be the chief assistant director to the acclaimed series based on actual police cases, Police File Se.

During his stay at Delhi, post-Jamia days he came in close contact with Safdar Hashmi, N. K. Sharma, Madan Gopal Singh and M. K. Raina. It was M. K. Raina whom he started assisting in television productions. Zameen, starring Manohar Singh and Uttra Baokar was the first, followed by telefilms like Apne Se Door (Seema Biswas' debut), Nirnay and Hosh.
His first independent break came through with the film Nai Subeh which he directed for producer Surinder Singh (of the duo Singh Bandhu). The film, which dealt with the problems of terrorism, was widely and critically acclaimed. For the same producer he directed a TV series on devotional music – Gavo Sacchi Baani which featured well-known artists like Asha Bhonsle and poet/philosopher Harbhajan Singh.

He has made serials for Doordarshan – Nai Manzilen Nai Rahein and several documentaries and short video advertisements for various departments and ministries. He has also made films in the celluloid format – Sahar and Swadhikaar for the Department of Child & Women Welfare.

He was also director and segment producer for Indian television's first cultural magazine Surabhi, a series produced by Siddharth Kak for DD National.
Before making a move to Mumbai in 1992, he worked with an Italian feature film, Delhi '92 which was directed by Italo Spinelli.

Once in Mumbai he was assigned to direct Nimbus Television's countdown show (dubbed the mother of all countdowns) –  Superhit Muqabla. His association with Nimbus lasted many years where he worked as creative director/supervising producer/executive producer for many of their television shows like Nyaay and AGNI. During his tenure at Nimbus he came in close contact with Harish Thawani, Akash Khurana and Sudhir Mishra.

Datta also directed a few episodes of Tony & Diya Singh's popular programmes – Just Mohabbat, one of the most popular youth-based series on Sony TV, and Maan, a family drama with a Punjabi culture backdrop on Channel 9 Gold.

Sudhir Mishra's critically acclaimed and awarded Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2003) came next where Datta took on the mantle of executive producer. In the first six months the film travelled to twelve film festivals e.g. Turkey, Estonia, River to River (Florence), Berlin, Edinburgh, Washington, Goa, Bite The Mango (Bradford), Commonwealth (Manchester), India (Los Angeles), Dallas, and Pacific Rim (California) where it was equally praised by critics and audience both.

In 2004 the husband wife duo of Himalya & Bhagyashree asked him to take on the dual responsibility of directing and executing the production of their acclaimed TV serial Kagaz Ki Kashtti which ran on Sahara TV for 204 episodes.

Soon after, Datta joined UTV, United Television Software, as head of production. During his tenure there, he supervised the production of many popular shows like Bhabhi (Star Plus), Shararat (Star Plus), Kehta Hai Dil (Star Plus), Shakalaka Boom Boom (Star Plus), Meher (DD National), Cry Telethon (Sony TV), Special Squad (Star One), Business Bytes (BBC), Back To Floor (BBC), Stuntmen of Bollywood (National Geographic Channel) and many more for Hungama TV.

title: Cable entry system

text:
Cable entry systems are used for routing electrical cables, corrugated conduits or pneumatic and hydraulic hoses into switch cabinets, electrical enclosures, control panels and machines or in large heavy-duty vehicles, rolling stock and ships. Possible requirements can be high ingress protection rates or integrated strain relief.

It is being differentiated between entry systems for routeing standard cables (without connectors) with a high packing density and split cable entry systems which enable routeing of pre-terminated cables (with connectors) or complete cable harnesses.

History
From the 50s on, machines and switch cabinets were more and more wired by using heavy-duty industrial connectors but the increasing cost pressure forced engineers to look for more cost-effective solutions and to decrease the risk of miswiring. In the 90s cable entry systems have been developed as an alternative to heavy-duty industrial connectors and cable glands.

Cable entry systems for cables without connectors
For routing of standard cables and other electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic lines through machine, panel or enclosure walls, cable glands, self-sealing grommets or gland plates can be used to seal the cut-outs required for passing the cables through. This protects the inside of an enclosure or machine from dirt, dust or liquids.
Cable glands and self-sealing grommets are usually designed for entering single or just a few cables. By utilising a gland plate, many cables with different diameters can be routed. Depending on the type, very high cable densities or ingress protection classes up to IP66/IP68 (according to IEC 60529) can be achieved.

Even for industries with hygiene critical environments (for example, food industry, pharmaceutical industry) membrane-based cable entry plates are available in the market as alternatives to hygienic stainless steel cable glands. These cable entry plates are characterised by a particularly smooth surface without dirt collecting recesses (EHEDG compliant Hygienic Design) and FDA compliant material.

Split cable entry systems for cables with connectors
For routing cables which are already assembled with connectors, split cable entry systems have been developed. The divisibility of these systems provides two advantages. The warranty on pre-terminated cables remains since the connectors don’t have to be cut and soldered again after entering the cables. The other advantage is that assembly can be done subsequently because the split cable entries are usually built around the existing lines.
Most split cable entries consist of a split hard frame, made of plastic or sometimes stainless steel (e.g. utilised in food industry) and one or several split sealing grommets, usually made of elastomer. The grommet matching the cable diameter is placed around the cable and fixed inside the cable entry frame. Thus allowing strain relief for the cables (in some cases according to EN 62444) as well as ingress protection of up to IP66/IP68.

Frame sizes and standards
Cable entries are offered in different sizes, but most of them are based on cut-out dimensions and drilling templates for standard industrial connectors (10-pin, 16-pin, 24-pin). Round cable entry plates are usually produced in metric standard sizes (M16 – M63)

Since cable entry systems are utilised in many different applications, it is very important to comply with standards like e.g. IP rating (according to EN 60529), UL recognition, DNV-GL listing (for marine applications), national or European railway standards or ATEX certifications that enable use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

title: Diana the Huntress Fountain

text:
The Huntress Diana Fountain (Fuente de la Diana Cazadora) is a monumental fountain of Diana located in the roundabout at Paseo de la Reforma and Río Misisipí and Sevilla streets, on the border of the Colonia Cuauhtémoc and Colonia Juárez neighborhoods of Mexico City.  Nearby landmarks named after the fountain include the Cine Diana and the skyscrapers Corporativo Reforma Diana (a.k.a. Torre Reforma Diana) and Torre Diana.

History

Between the 1930s and 1960s, the capital authorities carried out different beautification projects of the capital, Mexican that would involve the placement of various monuments and monumental fountains in the public space in tune with the mural movement and with the aesthetic influence of socialist realism.

The then president of Mexico Manuel Ávila Camacho, through the regent of the Federal District, Javier Rojo Gómez commissioned the duo formed by the architect Vicente Mendiola and the sculptor Juan Olaguíbel that would jointly carry out other similar projects as the source of the Plaza California in Colonia del Valle and the Oil Fountain the construction of a fountain for the roundabout that was located in Paseo de la Reforma
near the entrance to the Chapultepec Forest. The topic chosen by the commission agents was Diana's the Roman goddess of the hunt. Artemis in Greek mythology, but in this source, that goddess instead of hunting animals would now arrow the stars of the northern skies. The elaboration of The Arrow of the Northern Stars, which has an approximate weight of two tons. It happened between April and September 1942 a workshop of the World Workers Street.

title: James McLemore

text:
James McLemore (1782–1834) was a white Baptist minister in Montgomery, Alabama. He was a leader of the Alabama Baptist Association and founder of a number of churches. He is known also for having an African American associate minister, the enslaved Caesar Blackwell. McLemore and his descendants acquired much land which developed into the 7000-acre McLemore Plantation, which was farmed first by enslaved people and later by sharecroppers and tenants.

Biography
Born in Granville County, North Carolina, McLemore married in Hancock County, Georgia, and preached in the Elam Church in Jones County, Georgia, which became a member of the Ocmulgee Baptist Association in 1810. He moved to Montgomery by way of the Federal Road where he founded the Antioch Baptist Church (organized on June 5, 1818), one of four churches that went on to form the Alabama Baptist Association (ABA). At the time, slavery and, more specifically, the membership of enslaved people in Baptist churches, was becoming a serious matter of contention; the Ocmulgee Baptist Association had resolved, citing Ephesians 6:9 and Colossians 4:1, that enslaved people were to be treated "with humanity and justice", a decision which according to Gary Burton, pastor of Pintlala Baptist Church, Hope Hull, Alabama, was to have a great influence on McLemore's future with a black associate minister. McLemore, who built a reputation as a "famous white evangelist", founded three of the four churches that made up the ABA—in addition to Antioch, he founded the Elim (also known as Old Elam, June 19, 1819) and Bethel churches (February 13, 1819). He was described as a "holy man and zealous herald of the truth, although afflicted in body".

McLemore is known also as the preacher who "owned" the wife and child of Caesar Blackwell, an enslaved man who had been bought by the ABA and became McLemore's associate minister at the Antioch Church. After his death, the execution of his will was contested in the Alabama Supreme Court; specifically, how two of the people enslaved by McLemore were to be distributed among children "of the whole blood" and those "of the half blood" was challenged, with the court deciding that those "of the whole blood" were to be favored. The McLemore bible, more than a hundred years old, was read from at a ceremony celebrating the continued unity of the four original Baptist churches in 1923.  The latter's family continues to be a prominent family in Montgomery: the campus of Auburn University at Montgomery is built on 500 acres of the former McLemore plantation.

title: Arbeter Zeitung (Kaunas)

text:
Arbeter Zeitung (, 'Workers Newspaper') was a weekly newspaper published from Kaunas, Lithuania 1921–1922 and again in 1926. It was an organ of the Poalei Zion Smol. Moshe Erem served as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. However, the 'official' editor of the newspaper was Tuvia Meshorer. Another key figure in the running of the newspaper was Leib Rabinowitz.

Politically, the editorial line of Arbeter Zeitung differed little from that of the Lithuanian Jewish communist movement. However, the newspaper had a different approach on the issue of Jewish national identity than the communists.

Forty issues of Arbeter Zeitung were published between April 1921 and May 1922, when the government launched a crack-down on the publication. Meshorer was sentenced to one year in jail. By 1926, the political tide in Lithuania had turned and Arbeter Zeitung was relaunched with Israel Nitzevitz as its editor. The newspaper was again banned in December 1926, as nationalists were now in control over the government.

title: Game of Thrones (2014 video game)

text:
Game of Thrones, also known as Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series, is an episodic graphic adventure game developed and published by Telltale Games for Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. It is based on the television series of the same name.

The game follows the episodic format found in other Telltale titles, where player choices and actions influence later events across the six-episode arc. The story revolves around the northern House Forrester, rulers of Ironrath, whose members, including the five playable characters, attempt to save their family and themselves after ending up on the losing side of the War of the Five Kings. The game includes settings and characters from the series of novels A Song of Ice and Fire and the television adaptation. Emilia Clarke, Iwan Rheon, Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Natalie Dormer, and Peter Dinklage reprise their roles from the television series as Daenerys Targaryen, Ramsay Bolton, Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, Margaery Tyrell, and Tyrion Lannister, respectively.

A second season had been planned but was placed on hold in 2017, amid restructuring issues at Telltale Games, and ultimately was cancelled following Telltale's majority studio closure in September 2018. In August 2019, the company returned, but as of August 2022, no news has been made regarding the series future.

Development

After previous video games based on his works received negative or mediocre critical responses, George R. R. Martin opined that he wanted "a Game of Thrones game to be made by a studio that knows how to create a thrilling and interesting story". Telltale Games had found critical success in several licensed adventure games, including their The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead episodic video game series. Game of Thrones arose from internal discussions within Telltale of what other popular franchises they wanted to write games around, with much support given for Game of Thrones, considering its emotional equivalence to The Walking Dead. They approached HBO with the concept, and after a year of negotiations, were able to secure the license.

In December 2013, Telltale announced Game of Thrones at the 2013 Spike VGX video game awards program. George R. R. Martin stated that his personal assistant, Ty Corey Franck, was working with Telltale Games as a "story consultant". Telltale's CEO Dan Connors explained that the game would not be a prequel to the television series, and that the established world and timeline of Game of Thrones allowed Telltale to explore fixed stories in more depth, to appeal to players.

Gameplay
Game of Thrones is an episodic point-and-click graphic adventure fantasy drama video game, released as 6 episodes following the model of Telltale's previous adventure games. The player is able to move their character around some scenes, interacting with objects and initiating conversation trees with non-player characters. Choices made by the player influence events in future episodes. The game switches between the viewpoints of five different characters.

Each episode contains five points where the player must make a significant decision, choosing from one of two available options. Through Telltale's servers, the game tracks how many players selected which option and lets the player compare their choices to the rest of the player base. The game can be completed regardless of what choices are made in these situations; the main events of the story, as described below, continue regardless of what choices are made, but the presence and behavior of the non-player characters in later scenes is affected by the choices. The game allows the player to make multiple saves, and includes a "rewind" feature where the player can back up and alter a previous decision, thus facilitating the exploration of alternative choices.

Some scenes are more action-oriented, requiring the player to respond to a series of quick time events. Failure to do these correctly may end the scene with the death of the playable character or another character, but the game will restart at a checkpoint just before that scene to allow the player to try again. In some instances, failure at particular quick time events results in minor game decisions.

Synopsis

Setting
The game takes place concurrently with the television series, from the end of the third season until just prior to the start of the fifth season.

The game primarily takes place near Ironrath, but also in other locations on the continents of Westeros and Essos.

The Obinitsa Church of Transfiguration of Our Lord is a church belonging to the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church in Obinitsa, Estonia.

History
The building of the former Obinitsa School-Church was constructed in 1897 and was inaugurated in 1904. The school-church, unique in the Baltics, was a wooden two-storied building with a bell tower. In 1950, the church was closed and the building given to the school. This action was based in Soviet anti-religious legislation that separated church and state and forced the handover of religious properties to the state. This activity was based on a written regulation from the former chairman of the Estonian SSR Council of Ministers, Arnold Veimer, to the chairman of the Meremäe rural municipality Executive Committee.

The congregation of the closed church was given one hectare of land and two old abandoned buildings for a new church. The new Obinitsa church is next to the cemetery by the road leading from Obinitsa to Piusa. In 1950, local priest Vilemon Talomees, supported by the local community, began building a new church. At first, he worked alone; then  congregation members joined him. The Võru County deanery did not support the building, as they were busy building Meeksi Church.

On January 9, 1952, interior decorating began. Valga Church gave the Obinitsa congregation the assets from Tõrva Church (church bell, icons, chandelier, candle sticks, altar, and service clothes for the priest). Large donations of building materials came from local farmers. Material support was provided by the Bishopric of Estonia.

The church, still surrounded by scaffolding, was inaugurated on June 15, 1952, by Bishop Roman of Tallinn  in honour of Transfiguration of Our Lord. On October 27, 1953, Bishop Roman gave Vilemon Talomees a letter of thanks for his selflessness and self-sacrifice in applying all his skills, will, and workforce into building a handsome new church and presbytery, with outbuildings for the Obinitsa congregation. The Holy Patriarch, who awarded him the right to wear a badge of distinction, appreciated his work.

title: George P. Larrick

text:
George P. Larrick (November 19, 1901August 11, 1968) was Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from 19541965.

Early life
George P. Larrick was born on November 19, 1901, in Springfield, Ohio. He worked his way through two years at Wittenberg College from 19191921, and then took a pre-medical course at Ohio State University from 19211923. In 1923, he accepted a "temporary job" as a food and drug inspector in Cincinnati, Ohio. Fascinated with the work, he abandoned his medical aspirations, and successfully passed the competitive Civil Service examination for a permanent appointment. By 1930, he had been appointed senior food and drug inspector. In 1937, he was responsible for dispatching very nearly the entire field force of the FDA to track down remnants of the poisonous Elixir Sulfanilamide which killed 109 people, and highlighted the need for pre-market testing of new drugs. Larrick was also responsible for assembling an exhibit, dubbed by reporters, "The Chamber of Horrors," which effectively documented the need for a new federal food and drugs act. In 1939, following enactment of the new Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (1938), he was appointed Chief Inspector of the FDA. In addition to directing FDA investigations, he served as acting director of the Drug Division for a time, and early during World War II, assisted in the organization of the Procurement and Assignment Service of the Office of Defense, Health and Welfare Services.

Commissioner of FDA

Following the war, he served as Assistant Commissioner, Associate Commissioner and finally Deputy Commissioner of the FDA. In 1954, he was appointed Commissioner, succeeding Charles Crawford. Commissioner Larrick headed the FDA during the period of its greatest growth. In 1954, the Agency had less than 1,000 employees to regulate more than one fourth of the nation's commerce in consumer goods. The First Citizen's Advisory Committee report became the blueprint for extensive changes in the organization and a rapid increase in its resources. During Larrick's tenure, FDA appropriations increased more than tenfold, from $5 million to over $50 million, and its staff expanded to almost 4,000. The building program inaugurated during Larrick's administration provided modern laboratories for a majority of the FDA field districts and a $25 million headquarter's laboratory. His last official act was its dedication in December 1965.

Larrick was noted for his ability to maintain good relations with Congress, and major amendments began to transform the 1938 Act from a primarily punitive law to one designed to assure consumer protection by preventing violations. During Larrick's administration, however, the FDA came under strong criticism from some members of Congress. One of its strongest critics was Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, who accused the Agency of showing lax management, having ineffective leadership, of being slow moving, and of lagging in scientific work. Mr. Humphrey and others called for "new and dynamic leadership." Larrick counted among his friends, however, Representative John E. Fogarty, the powerful chairman of the House Appropriations Committee.

Major projects
Larrick's administration oversaw the 1959 cranberry recall due to residues of the carcinogenic pesticide aminotriazole; the issuance of a public warning against the Hoxsey cancer treatment; legal actions against Krebiozen, another false cancer treatment; prohibition of thalidomide as a human teratogen in 1961; and the passage in 1962 of the Kefauver Harris Amendment ("Drug Efficacy Amendment") to the 1938 Act in response to the thalidomide affair. Attention was focused on drugs and the drug approval process, beginning with revelations that William Welch, the agency's chief of the Antibiotics Division, had accepted nearly one-quarter of a million dollars for editing private promotional journals in his field while passing judgement on the products in his position at FDA. Congressional investigations into thalidomide brought accusations that drug manufacturers had too easy access to regulators, and could thereby exert undue influence upon the review process. Although Larrick assured Congress that drug approvals had not been superficial, testimony was heard alleging that lay administrators were not really able to evaluate major drug review problems which were "all of a medical nature and exceedingly complex." Calls for Larrick's resignation were accentuated with recommendations that the next commissioner be a physician.

When Larrick announced his intentions to retire in 1965, John W. Gardner credited Larrick with great progress in administering the law, noting that "despite the twin handicaps of inadequate resources and inadequate legal authority, FDA has achieved remarkable success in its mission."

After retirement
After he retired from active service, Larrick became a consultant on food and drug law and administration until he died. In this capacity, he made a study for the Pan American Health Organization on the feasibility of a central food and drug laboratory for South American countries. In 1955, the Drexel Institute of Technology conferred on him an honorary Doctorate of Science; and in 1968, he was recognized by the Association of Food and Drug Officials as a "catalyst who consistently brought about constructive change, and a skilled administrator in a field that requires experience, courage, respect for the rights of the regulated, and faith in the due process of law." Larrick died on August 11, 1968.
