title: Raashii Khanna

text:
Raashii Khanna (born 30 November 1990) is an Indian actress who predominantly works in Telugu and Tamil films. She made her acting debut in a supporting role with the Hindi film Madras Cafe (2013) and subsequently had starring roles in the Telugu film Oohalu Gusagusalade (2014), Tamil film Imaikkaa Nodigal (2018) and Malayalam film Villain (2017).

Khanna's commercially successful films include Bengal Tiger (2015), Supreme (2016), Jai Lava Kusa (2017), Tholi Prema (2018), Imaikkaa Nodigal (2018), Venky Mama (2019), Prati Roju Pandage (2019), Thiruchitrambalam (2022), and Sardar (2022), which established her as one of the leading actresses in Telugu and Tamil cinema. Khanna has also sung a few songs in different languages. She has since starred in the streaming series Rudra: The Edge of Darkness (2022) and Farzi (2023).

Early life
Khanna was born on 30 November 1990 and hails from Delhi. She did her schooling at St. Mark's Senior Secondary Public School, Delhi and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with honours in English at Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi.

According to Khanna, she was an academic topper who was extremely studious, geek during her schooling and college days. When Khanna was young, she wanted to become a singer but as she grew up, she was more interested into studying and aspired to become an IAS officer. Khanna claims that she neither had interest in modelling nor thought of becoming an actress and it was her destiny that made her an actress. During her college days, she tried a hand at copywriting for advertisements, before she made her venture into acting in various advertisements prior to films.

Career

Debut and rise in Telugu cinema (2013–2015)
Khanna made her on-screen debut with a supporting role in the 2013 Hindi political spy thriller film Madras Cafe directed by Shoojit Sircar, where she played the role of Ruby Singh, the wife of an Indian intelligence officer portrayed by John Abraham, who was also the producer. She had to undergo acting workshops before taking up the role. The film—particularly the story and direction—impressed most Indian critics. Reviewing the film, Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV stated that Khanna "makes an impact in a brief but significant appearance". Madras Cafe was a box-office hit grossing more than 100 crore.

Impressed with her performance in Madras Cafe, actor Srinivas Avasarala approached her for the female lead role in his directorial debut Oohalu Gusagusalade, which also featured himself and Naga Shaurya in the lead roles, which she signed in late October 2013 after considering many other south films, adding that the scope of performing made her sign the film. Khanna initially felt that it would be more of a dancing role with little scope for acting when approached for narration, but found her character practically in every scene in the film. She called her character Prabhavati as a grey, stubborn, arrogant girl but in a lovable way, which she claimed to be very different from what she was in real life except for the fact that she hails from Delhi. Khanna confirmed in early April 2014 that she appeared in a small role in the Telugu film Manam, which had its theatrical release before Oohalu Gusagusalade. Oohalu Gusagusalade opened to positive reviews from critics and Khanna received praise for her work. Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu called her an "actor with potential", while Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India stated that she gave a "commendable" performance which helped the movie to some extent. The film was a commercial success at the box office.

Her next Telugu film was Joru, directed by Kumar Nagendra opposite Sundeep Kishan, which she signed after Madras Cafe and while shooting for Oohalu Gusagusalade. She played the role of Annapurna, whom Khanna described as a "modern yet traditional" girl who "is highly emotional and cries at the drop of a hat", which she called the exact opposite of the character of Prabhavati she played in her previous film. Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated that she provides solace along with Kishan, Brahmanandam and Saptagiri in a film which was "let down by incoherent writing and amateurish execution".  Joru was a commercial failure at the box office.

Khanna's next was Jil, directed by Radha Krishna Kumar opposite Gopichand, which she signed in early July 2014 after the makers approached her considering her performance in Oohalu Gusagusalade. The film received mixed reviews from the critics. In early May 2015, she was signed for the film Shivam alongside Ram Pothineni. The film received negative reviews from the critics and performed poorly at the box office.

Success and further venture into other languages (2015–present)

The movie opened to positive reviews with critics praising her performance as a tough, investigating cop and the movie had a good run at box-office.

Her next release was Srinivasa Kalyanam, opposite Nithiin, directed by National Award winner Satish Vegesna which opened to mixed reviews but the chemistry between the lead pair was appreciated. Her next release was a multi-starrer Imaikkaa Nodigal, marking her debut in Tamil cinema opening to highly positive reviews with critics praising her performance as a girl-next-door character and was commercially successful at box office. Her next release in Tamil was Adanga Maru, opposite Jayam Ravi which received positive reviews from the critics and became a commercial success at the box office.

In 2019, Her first release was Ayogya opposite Vishal, which was an official remake of the 2015 Telugu hit, Temper which received generally positive reviews from audience and critics. The film did considerably well at the box-office. Her next release was Sangathamizhan opposite Vijay Sethupathi which opened to mixed reviews, but Khanna received praise for her performance.

title: Piazza Bellini, Naples

text:
The Piazza Bellini is a plaza located in central Naples, Italy. The Via Santa Maria di Costantinopoli runs along its western side. A block to the south is the Decumanus Maximus (which is also part of Via dei Tribunali).

A piazza at the site was present by the 17th century, and a number of major palaces and buildings were built or now lie around the site, including the palaces of Firrao-Bisingano, Castriota Scanderbeg, and the Principi di Conca. A block north on Via Constantinopoli is the Academy of Fine Arts. The piazza is also flanked to the south by the former Monastery of Sant'Antonio delle Monache at Port'Alba, which now houses the library of the University of Naples Faculty of Letters and Philosophy in the Palazzo dei Principi di Conca.

In 1886, the piazza acquired the statue by Alfonso Bazzico, depicting of the famous composer Vincenzo Bellini, who had been associated with the nearby Music Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella, located just south, on Via dei Tribunali. Initially the composer's statue towered over four female busts representing four heroines of his operas: Norma, Giulietta, Amina and Elvira, but they were detached from the site due to vandalism, and have not returned, or maybe lost. However, this is not an alien state of affairs for Naples, where so much in place today seems either lost in place or time. In 1954, and continuing in 1984, the subterranean ruins of the former western walls of the Ancient Greek city of Neapolis were uncovered, and a portion of the ruined walls has been left exposed in a gaping anachronistic canyon that fences what had become a charming modern piazza of cafes and for ambulation.

title: Lisette Schandein

text:
Lisette Schandein, (1848–1905) aka Lisette Best Schandein, Lizette Best, Elizabeth Best, Elizabeth Best Schandein, and Lizette Best Schandein was the first vice-president of Pabst Brewing Company. She held the position from 1888 through 1894.

History
Lisette was a daughter of Major General Phillip Best who owned a brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her father became closely acquainted with Captain Frederick Pabst due to his frequent travels on the Lake Michigan ship Captain Frederick Pabst captained. Her father introduced Pabst to her older sister, Maria Best. In 1862, the two were married.

In 1864, Frederick Pabst bought half of the operation of her father's brewery and became vice-president.

In 1866, Lisette married Emil Schandein, and her father sold the remaining half of the business to her husband, making Frederick Pabst president, and her husband vice-president.

Emil and Lisette began building a 40,000 square foot mansion on Grand Avenue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Emil had even imported the architect from Germany to recreate a castle he had seen in Bingen, Germany. In 1888, Emil Schandein unexpectedly died in Germany, and he was never able to see the house fully completed.

Lisette took over as vice-president of the company which she remained until 1894.

In 1903, she left Milwaukee and returned to Germany, where she died after suffering a stroke, leaving her $7,800,000 estate to be fought over in court by her remaining children, Mrs. Jacob Heyl (Clara), Mrs. Louis Frank, and her deaf son, Emil M. Schandein. The court case made national headlines due to the testimony that took place in regards to Lisette's long term affair with Jacob Heyl who had somehow arranged to be executor of the will, while also inheriting the bulk of the wealth. Schandein and Heyl's affair was able to be kept hidden through a sham marriage arranged between him and one of her daughters. When her daughter died, a second marriage had been arranged for Heyl with another one of her daughters, Clara, who divorced Heyl in 1907.

title: Crosbie baronets

text:
The Crosbie Baronetcy, of Maryborough in Queen's County, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 24 April 1630. The family was of Gaelic and Roman Catholic origin, but this branch converted to the Church of Ireland and Anglicized their name. Sir Walter, the first baronet, was the eldest son of John Crosbie, Bishop of Ardfert and Aghadoe, and a first cousin of the leading statesman Sir Piers Crosby. His brother David founded a junior branch of the family, which gained the title of Earl of Glandore. Sir Edward, the fifth baronet, was executed for treason after the 1798 Rebellion. The title became extinct on the death of the eighth baronet in 1936.

title: Anda Monument

text:
The Anda Monument, often erroneously referred to as the Anda Circle after the roundabout it is currently located, is an obelisk monument situated in the boundary of Intramuros and Port Area in central Manila, Philippines. It was erected in honor of Simón de Anda y Salazar, the Governor General of the Philippines from 1770 to 1776. The Anda Circle, the roundabout, is an interchange system at the junction of Bonifacio Drive, Mel Lopez Boulevard, Andres Soriano Avenue (formerly Calle Aduana), and Roberto Oca Street.

History

The original monument was erected in 1871 near the Pasig River under the order of Governor General Carlos Maria de la Torre as a form of public gratitude to Simón de Anda for his initiative in the resistance against the British occupation of Manila which began in 1762. It was heavily damaged during World War II when the Japanese occupied Manila.

After the war, the monument was moved to its present location at the rotunda and was retransformed into a monument circle. President Carlos P. Garcia recounted Anda's heroism and defense of Filipinos against Spanish abuses in his turn over speech on June 8, 1957.

The Anda Monument had previously shown signs of vandalism.

On October 7, 2020, the newly rehabilitated Anda Circle was unveiled. The monument was repainted with the same color as the original. Multi-colored lights and a fountain were also installed. The fountain was installed in a  diameter pool and the 222 RGB LED lamps light up the water in various colors.

Planned relocation
In September 2014, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced its plan to dismantle the Anda Monument and convert the roundabout into a regular intersection to ease traffic congestion along Bonifacio Drive, the main thoroughfare for trucks going to and from the Port of Manila. The highways department also recommended relocating the monument to protect it from damage from possible accidents. The plan was accepted by the National Historical Commission and coordinated with the department for its transfer back to its original location in Plaza Maestranza within Intramuros near the Pasig River. However, the moving of the monument did not push through.

In February 2016, the DPWH said that the plan was cancelled, citing opposition from heritage conservationists led by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and Senator Pia Cayetano to such plans.

title: Philip Manuel

text:
Philip Manuel (1893–October 6, 1959) was an American pianist, organist, harpsichordist and music educator. With pianist, organist and harpsichordist Gavin Williamson, he formed a duo in 1922, known as Manuel and Williamson, that helped promote the use of harpsichords as concert instruments. In the spring of 1935, the duo were the first professionals to play Bach's Concerto for Four Harpsichords in the United States on this instrument.

Life and career
Philip Manuel was of Portuguese and British descent. He began the study of music at a military school with piano teachers who traveled from town to town. He attended Grinnell College in Iowa, where he studied in both the academic and music departments. Following his graduation, he traveled to Vienna to study organ, piano and singing, and then to London. After a time teaching at the University of North Dakota, he moved to Chicago. He served overseas during the War.

His was slim, quiet, and scholarly. He wore pince-nez instead of spectacles, and tended to stick out his tongue during crucial moments of a musical programme.

Manuel's first professional association was as a tenor singer to pianist Gavin Williamson (1897–1989). In 1916 at the University of Chicago, the two men discovered a common interest in harpsichord as a concert instrument. In the 1920s, there were fewer than 50 harpsichords in the United States, most located in museums. Manuel and Williamson went to Paris, where they studied for many years with Wanda Landowska and  contracted with Pleyel et Cie to produce two instruments for their use. With these instruments, they initiated concert tours of the United States, and also worked as teachers of harpsichord, piano and voice. The two frequently played with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and were broadcast on the National Broadcasting Company radio network.

Manuel died in Chicago at age 66. Notable students include Lili Chookasian.

title: Catholic semigroup

text:
In mathematics, a catholic semigroup is a semigroup in which no two distinct elements have the same set of inverses. The terminology was introduced by B. M. Schein in a paper published in 1979. Every catholic semigroup either is a regular semigroup or has precisely one element that is not regular, much like the partitioners of most Catholic churches. The semigroup of all partial transformations of a set is a catholic semigroup. It follows that every semigroup is embeddable in a catholic semigroup. But the full transformation semigroup on a set is not catholic unless the set is a singleton set. Regular catholic semigroups are both left and right reductive, that is, their representations by inner left and right translations are faithful. A regular semigroup is both catholic and orthodox if and only if the semigroup is an inverse semigroup.

title: Tripura (princely state)

text:
Tripura State, also known as Hill Tipperah, was a princely state in India during the period of the British Raj and for some two years after the departure of the British. Its rulers belonged to the Manikya dynasty and until August 1947 the state was in a subsidiary alliance, from which it was released by the Indian Independence Act 1947. The state acceded to the newly independent Indian Union on 13 August 1947, and subsequently merged into the Indian Union in October 1949.

The princely state was located in the present-day Indian state of Tripura. The state included one town, Agartala, as well as a total of 1,463 villages. It had an area of 10,660 km2 and a population of 513,000 inhabitants in 1941.

History

The predecessor state of Tripura was founded about 100 AD. According to legend the Manikya dynasty derived its name from a jewel ('Mani' in Sanskrit) that had been obtained from a frog. The first king who ruled the state under the royal title of Manikya was Maharaja Maha Manikya, who ascended the throne in 1400.
The kingdom is mentioned in Ming Shilu as Di-wu-la. It is further stated that it was occupied by Da-Gu-la, a unidentified state in what is Northern Myanmar or Assam.
The Rajmala, a chronicle of the Kings of Tripura, was written in Bengali verse in the 15th century under Dharma Manikya I. The kingdom of Tripura reached its maximum expansion in the 16th century.

In 1764, when the British East India Company took control of Bengal, the parts of Bengal that had been under the Mughal Empire were taken over by the British administration. In 1809, Tripura became a British protectorate, and in 1838 the Rajas of Tripura were recognised by the British as sovereigns.

Between 1826 and 1862 the eastern part was subject to the ravages caused by Kuki invaders that plundered and destroyed villages and massacred their inhabitants.

There were troubles in every succession among the Tripura royal family members when the aspiring princes often resorted to use the services of the Kukis to cause disturbances. Thus in 1904, the British enacted a sanad that regulated permanently the succession of the royal family. Thenceforward the succession would have to be recognised by the Viceroy of India representing the British Crown.

Bir Chandra Manikya (1862–1896) modelled his administration on the pattern of British India, and enacted reforms including the foundation of the Agartala Municipal Corporation.

In 1905, Tripura became part of the new province of Eastern Bengal and Assam and was designated as 'Hill Tippera'. In addition to the Hill Tippera area, which corresponds to Tripura State, the kings retained a fertile estate known as Chakla Roshanbad with an area of 1476 km2, located in the flatland of Noakhali, Sylhet and Tipperah districts; the latter is now mostly included in the Comilla District of Bangladesh.

King Bir Bikram Kishore Debbarma died in May 1947, shortly before Indian Independence. His son Kirit Bikram Kishore was a minor at that time, and, so, Maharani Kanchan Prava Devi presided over the Council of Regency formed to govern the state. On 13 August 1947, the Maharani signed the Instrument of Accession, joining the Indian Union. There was turmoil in the state in the succeeding months and several changes in the administrative structure took place in quick succession. Finally, on 9 September 1949, the Maharani signed the Merger Agreement with the Dominion of India, which became effective on 15 October, and Tripura became a centrally administered Part C State (Chief Commissioner's Province) of India.

Kirit Pradyot Deb Barman (b. 1978) was the son of the last King - and is the current titular monarch.

Rulers
The head of the royal family of Tripura held the title of 'Maharaja' from 1919 onwards. Since 1897 the rulers were entitled to a 13 gun salute by the British authorities.

title: Mazari caretaker ministry

text:
The Mazari caretaker ministry under Balakh Sher Mazari as the caretaker prime minister of Pakistan was sworn into office after the Nawaz government was overthrown on 19 April 1993 by president Ghulam Ishaq Khan. Mazari's tenure as caretaker prime minister ended abruptly on 26 May 1993 when the Supreme Court revoked the presidential order and reinstated Nawaz Sharif as the prime minister.

Government formation
On 18 April 1993, president Ghulam Ishaq Khan exercised his extra-constitutional presidential powers, instituted to him through the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan, to resolve the power struggle in Pakistan and dismissed the government of prime minister Nawaz Sharif. After dissolving both, the national and the provincial assemblies, Khan appointed Mazari as the caretaker prime minister. The same day, a caretaker cabinet was also sworn into the house.

This was the second time that president Khan had invoked Article 58-2b of the Eighth Amendment to bring down an elected head of government. The charges of corruption and economic mismanagement that Khan levelled against Nawaz Sharif were almost entirely identical to those he had earlier brought against Benazir Bhutto in 1990.

Cabinet

1993
A caretaker cabinet of 22 ministers took an oath on 18 April 1993 under caretaker prime minister Balakh Sher Mazari and the president Ghulam Ishaq Khan. The Mazari caretaker cabinet was "[Pakistan's] most short-lived caretaker cabinet".

title: Mason Verger

text:
Mason Verger is a fictional character and the main antagonist of Thomas Harris's 1999 novel Hannibal, as well as its 2001 film adaptation and the second and third seasons of the TV series Hannibal. In the film, he is portrayed by Gary Oldman, while in  the TV series he is portrayed by Michael Pitt and Joe Anderson.

Character overview
Mason Verger is introduced in the novel Hannibal as a wealthy, sadistic pedophile who was paralyzed and severely disfigured during a therapy session with Dr. Hannibal Lecter. He plans gruesome revenge against Lecter, which sets the novel's plot in motion. The novel and TV series also portray his dysfunctional relationship with his sister Margot, whom he subjects to years of emotional and sexual abuse.

Appearances

Red Dragon
In Red Dragon, Will Graham mentions that Hannibal Lecter has nine known murder victims, while two other victims survived, one of whom is "on a respirator at a hospital in Baltimore."  This is the earliest reference to Mason, though he is not named or further detailed until Hannibal.

Hannibal
Mason Verger is the scion of one of Baltimore, Maryland's most wealthy, politically connected families. His ancestors founded a meatpacking company that dated back to the American Civil War, and Mason's father, Molson, had expanded the company into an empire by the time of Mason's birth.

Mason takes pleasure in acts of cruelty and sexual violence, including torturing animals and molesting children. He also performs autoerotic asphyxiation, and enjoys collecting children's tears with sterile swabs and flavoring his martinis with them. At one point he befriends Idi Amin, with whom he claims to have re-enacted the crucifixion of Jesus by nailing a migrant worker to a cross. Publicly, he claims to be a born-again Christian, and operates a Christian camp for underprivileged children—whom he molests. As a teenager, Mason raped his sister, Margot, who went into therapy with Lecter to deal with the trauma. Lecter suggested that it would be cathartic for her to kill her brother.

Verger is eventually arrested for several counts of child molestation, but thanks to his family's political connections he is sentenced to community service and court-mandated therapy in lieu of prison time. Lecter serves as his court-appointed psychiatrist. During one of their sessions, Lecter invites Mason to demonstrate autoerotic asphyxiation, then gives him a cocktail of psychedelic drugs disguised as an amyl popper and suggests that he peel off his own face with a piece of broken mirror. In a state of drug-induced euphoria, Mason complies, and feeds the pieces to his dogs, except for his nose, which he himself eats. Lecter then tightens the noose around Mason's neck so hard it breaks his spine. Mason survives the ordeal, but is left severely disfigured—with skin grafts covering the lost portions of his face—blind in his right eye, paralyzed from the neck down, and dependent on a ventilator to breathe.

Lecter is arrested soon afterward for committing a series of murders, and Mason tries to influence the resulting trial to make sure Lecter receives the death penalty. When Lecter is instead found not guilty by reason of insanity and institutionalized, Mason begins plotting to feed Lecter alive to a pack of wild boars, specially bred for the purpose.

After his disfigurement, Mason becomes a recluse, rarely leaving Muskrat Farm, his country estate. He nevertheless indulges in whatever paraphilias his disability allows, such as getting sexual gratification from making children cry. Verger's only sources of human contact are his assistant, Cordell—a fellow sex offender—and Margot, who works for Mason as a bodyguard. Margot despises her brother, but stays in his employ to persuade him to donate his sperm to her partner, Judy Ingram, so they can conceive a child. Mason strings her along, knowing she cannot leave if she wants to see her share of the Verger family fortune; their father had disinherited her when she came out as a lesbian, and willed his estate to any future heir Mason might have.

Seven years after Lecter's escape in The Silence of the Lambs, Mason pays Lecter's former guard, Barney Matthews, for information leading to his capture.

When detective Rinaldo Pazzi spots Lecter in Florence, Italy, he contacts Mason in hopes of collecting the reward money. Mason bribes Justice Department official Paul Krendler to discredit Lecter's foil Clarice Starling in order to coax Lecter out of hiding. He hires a gang of Sardinians to kidnap Lecter, and instructs Pazzi to lead Lecter to them.

Lecter learns of Mason's plot, and kills Pazzi as he flees to the United States. Mason's men eventually capture Lecter, and Mason prepares to enjoy his long-awaited revenge. However, Lecter escapes his bonds, with help from Starling.

Mason is finally killed by his sister Margot, to whom Lecter promised to take the blame. Margot sodomizes Mason with a cattle prod, stimulating his prostate and causing him to ejaculate. She captures the sperm in a condom, so it can be used to impregnate Judy. She then kills Mason by stuffing his pet moray eel down his throat, suffocating him with his own blood after the eel bites off his tongue.

In other media

Film
In the 2001 film, Hannibal, Mason is portrayed by Gary Oldman. The film's characterization of Mason Verger follows close to the novel, except for three key aspects: 1) the character of Margot Verger is omitted; 2) Mason is not completely bedridden, does not require a ventilator to breathe, and as he is able to move his right hand, he is partially ambulatory through the use of a motorized wheelchair; and 3) the manner of Mason's death is changed.  Instead of Margot, Mason dies at the hands of his physician, Cordell Doemling (Željko Ivanek), who at Lecter's suggestion pushes his hated boss into the pig pen in which Lecter was intended to die, where he is devoured by the pack of wild boars he had bred for killing Lecter.

TV series

Mason Verger appears in the NBC television series Hannibal as the main antagonist for the second half of the second season and the first half of the third season. He is portrayed by Michael Pitt in the show's second season, and by Joe Anderson in the third. Series creator Bryan Fuller called this version of the character "The Joker to Hannibal's Batman".

Season 2
Mason sexually assaults his sister Margot (Katharine Isabelle), who then tries to kill him. He sends her to therapy with Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). Mason meets with Lecter to discuss Margot's treatment, and agrees to enter therapy with Lecter to find out what his sister is saying about him. Lecter takes an immediate dislike to Mason, considering him "discourteous".

Mason tells Margot that he wants them to have a "Verger baby", the implication being that he wants to father his own sister's child. He threatens to cut her off financially if she disobeys him. Desperate, Margot has sex with another of Lecter's patients, Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and becomes pregnant with his child. After Lecter tells him what Margot is trying to do, Mason causes Margot to get into a car accident and has her womb surgically removed so that only he can father an heir and inherit the family fortune. A furious Graham confronts Mason and warns him that Lecter is manipulating them both.

Mason eventually grows suspicious of Lecter and has him kidnapped along with Graham, intending to feed them both to his prize pigs. However, Lecter escapes with Graham's help and takes Mason as a captive to Graham's house. Lecter gives Mason a hallucinogenic drug cocktail and convinces him to cut his own face off and feed the pieces to Graham's dogs. Mason does so, and also obeys Lecter's command to cut off his own nose and eat it. Lecter then breaks Mason's neck with his bare hands. Mason survives, but is paralyzed, confined to a respirator and forced to wear a neck brace and a facial mask. He tells FBI Agent-in-Charge Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) that he sustained his injuries after falling into a pig pen; he intends to keep Lecter out of the FBI's hands so he can torture and kill Lecter himself. Mason is then left alone with a vengeful Margot, who promises him she will "take care of you just as you took care of me."

Season 3
After Lecter flees to Europe following the discovery of his crimes, Mason puts a $3 million bounty on him. He enlists Lecter's former lover Alana Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) to help catch him. He also employs Margot, who is secretly planning to harvest his sperm in order to conceive a child with Alana's assistance. Unbeknownst to her, however, Mason has preserved the fetus Margot conceived with Graham, and implanted it in a giant sow's womb to birth a "Verger baby", which is later found to be stillborn.

Italian police detective Rinaldo Pazzi (Fortunato Cerlino) makes a deal with Mason to bring Lecter in, but Lecter kills Pazzi instead. Mason then hires other corrupt Italian police detectives to apprehend Lecter and Graham and bring them to his country estate, Muskrat Farm. He orders his physician Cordell Doemling (Glenn Fleshler) to slowly mutilate Lecter to death and prepare gourmet cuisine from his flesh. Mason also tells Doemling to put him under anesthesia for a special surgery: Doemling will cut off Graham's face and graft it onto Mason's. Before the procedure can take place, however, Lecter escapes captivity, kills Doemling, and helps Margot 'milk' the unconscious Mason's prostate with a cattle prod for the sperm she needs to conceive a child. When Mason awakes, Margot tells him that she will have a baby of her own and inherit their father's estate. She kills Mason by holding him underwater in his eel tank, where his pet moray eel swims down his throat and suffocates him.

title: Camp Lejeune Railroad

text:
Camp Lejeune Railroad, , is a shortline railroad that was a wholly owned by the Department of the Navy.  The railroad operates over  of track that is owned by the U.S. Government with a trackage agreement to Norfolk Southern Railway for operations.  A small 5.5 mile stretch between MCB Camp Lejeune and downtown City of Jacksonville, NC was abandoned in 1999 and turned over as part of Rails to Trails initiative. However the remaining Camp Lejeune Railroad from MCB Camp Lejeune to Havelock NC, 25 miles in total, is still active and owned by the US Navy.

History
Camp Lejeune Railroad began operations in 1941 to meet the needs for a track connecting the Marine Corps base with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in Jacksonville.  A 5.5 mile section between the base and Jacksonville was hauling materials for the facility's construction and supplies for the Marines.  The line serves as a point of access to the Marine Corps Air Station at Cherry Point and the port at Wilmington.

In October 1999, the Camp Lejeune Railroad Company (CL) filed for abandonment of the 5.5 mile portion between Camp Lejeune and City of Jacksonville NC. The abandonment was approved in December, which officially ended the railroad and operations from Marine Junction in Jacksonville to Camp Lejeune.  After abandonment, the railroad was converted to a rail-trail.

A GE 65-ton switcher that served on the line at one time is preserved at the New Hope Valley Railway. The locomotive was acquired as surplus from the Department of Defense.

 Interpreting the language of genomic DNA and identifying a druggable protein-coding gene (Chemgenome) for diseases/disorders,
 Determining the three-dimensional structure of the protein target ( Bhageerath-H) and
 Creating small molecules (drug) that can bind with high affinity and specificity to the protein/DNA target but with the least toxicity to humans (Sanjeevini).

To develop novel scientific methods and highly efficient algorithms, combining principles of Chemistry and Biology with Information Technology for Genome analysis, Protein structure prediction, and target-directed Drug Design pursuing the dream of delivering GENOME to DRUG to the society.

title: Chester Kamen

text:
Chester Kamen is an English session guitarist, whose work has included performing with Paul McCartney, Bryan Ferry, Bob Geldof, Madonna, Duran Duran, Robbie Williams, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Seal, Massive Attack, Kirsty MacColl, Belouis Some and Gabrielle.

Early life
Kamen started playing the guitar at the age of 11, and at 18, he turned professional. His first recording was with the band called Numbers. Kamen and the Numbers vocalist, Ouida, teamed up and were discovered by Bryan Ferry who produced their self-penned single entitled, "Pick Up In a Nightclub". He is the elder brother of Nick Kamen and Barry Kamen. Chester has three children; Joni, Finley, and Ben. Although they both frequently worked with Pink Floyd musicians, he is not related to Michael Kamen.

Career
In 1985, Kamen performed on stage at Live Aid alongside Pink Floyd's guitarist David Gilmour as part of Bryan Ferry's backing band, first playing with Ferry on his Boys and Girls album also in 1985. He continued to work with Ferry into the 1990s. Kamen joined him for the 1989 dates of his Bête Noire tour and was the lead guitarist on the 1994 dates of his Mamouna tour. Kamen also co-wrote and co-produced some of the tracks on Ferry's Bête Noire album including the song "Seven Deadly Sins" along with Guy Pratt.

Around 1990, Chester formed a band called Wildlife with Geoff Dugmore and Steve Barnacle which toured with Jeff Healey.  They produced an album eponymously named Wildlife with Epic  ref Epic 467361 2.  These are not to be confused with other bands of the same name.  They appear to have been short lived and didn't produce any other material apart from a Single/EP

In 2002, when Roger Waters continued his In The Flesh Tour, Kamen was brought on board to replace Doyle Bramhall II, who had other commitments and could not commit to the tour. Kamen's association with Waters continued, when he replaced Andy Fairweather-Low on guitars and backing vocals, for the 2008 leg on Waters' The Dark Side of the Moon Live tour. Kamen also notably appeared with Waters and David Gilmour when they performed a short set together for the charity Hoping Foundation, in Oxfordshire, England on 11 July 2010.
In 2016, Kamen toured as part of David Gilmour's band, taking part in his Rattle That Lock Tour.

In May 2021, Kamen released the track "Stories" performed by his band The Twins: "Dedicated to the memory of my two beloved little brothers, Nick and Barry".
