title: Kansas City Motor Car Company

text:
The Kansas City Motor Car Company was a manufacturer of automobiles in the Sheffield neighborhood in Northeast Kansas City, Missouri from 1905 to 1909 and was one of the twenty now defunct automakers operating out of Kansas City in the early 20th century.

History
The Kansas City Motor Car Company was formed when the Caps brothers of The Caps Brothers Manufacturing Company who had only been building cars for a few months in 1905 merged their interest in a new company called The Kansas City Motor Car Company.  The Kansas City Motor Car Company offered a wide range of vehicles from 1905 to 1909, when in a last ditch effort to stay in business, the company was reorganized as The Wonder Motor Car Company and manufactured the Kansas City Wonder Automobile briefly in 1909. No examples of any Caps Brothers,  Kansas City, or Wonder cars or trucks are known to exist today.

One car is remaining in New Jersey with a private collector. It has been the families car since new in 1902. It’s the Gleason model M high wheel touring car.

Models
Through their five years in the business, the Kansas City Motor Car Company manufactured a full line of vehicles ranging early on from two to four and five seater cars with 20 horse air cooled two cylinder engines and 50 horsepower four cylinder engines. Later in May 1906 the company announced they would be changing all of their models and equipping them with a new water cooled six cylinder engine with an advertised 75 horsepower. Surviving advertisements and a contemporary newspaper stated that commercial vehicles were also made and were rated to haul 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8 tons.

Press Coverage
Very little information on these cars has survived. Just a handful of advertisements and a couple newspapers and magazines of the day.

1905 Chicago and New York motor shows
The Kansas City Star, 10 December 1905 › Page 6: "The Chicago and New York motor shows are now interesting Kansas City motorists. Up to this time there has been little interest shown by Kansas City drivers in the big shows of the country. This was because there were few automobile men here. Among those who are planning to attend the New York show are Frank E. Weir and George K. Wheeler of the Kansas City Motor Car company, L. P. Moriarty and H. G. Biakesley, secretary of the Kansas City Automobile club. At the Chicago show the Kansas City Motor Car Company will have an exhibit. This company, the only automobile manufacturing establishment in Kansas City, will show several cars. The list includes a touring car, a runabout, an eight-ton truck and a couple of delivery wagon» of which the company has been making a specialty, George Chambers of Lawrence, Kas., last week purchased a touring car from the Kansas City Motor Car company. With J. E. Caps of the company he drove the car to Iawrence. The roads were in good condition and the trip was a successful one."
This 1905 article states that the Kansas City Motor Car Company was "the only automobile manufacturing establishment in Kansas City", although several other makers were in town even less information on these has survived.

1906 Race Car and Buffalo to Boston test run
The August 9, 1906 issue of The Automobile twice mentions the Kansas City Motor Car Company in the News and Trade Miscellany section, first they report on a possible race car: "Plans for a big racing car are said to be under consideration by the Kansas City Motor Car Company in Kansas City, Mo." The magazine goes on to cover the upcoming two ton commercial wagon test run: "On August 15 the Kansas City Motor Car Company of Kansas City, Mo will start a two ton commercial wagon on a test run from Buffalo, N.Y., to Boston passing through Utica, Syracuse, Schenectady, New York City, New Haven, New London, and Providence R.I. to Boston. It is expected that Boston will be reached by August, 22. The total distance is about 850 miles. George K. Wheeler general manager of the company,  J. E. Caps, two chauffeurs and newspaper men and representatives of the A. A. A. will constitute the party; a 50-horsepower Kansas City tourabout will also make the trip."

title: Jhené Aiko discography

text:
The discography of Jhené Aiko, an American musical artist, consists of three studio albums, one extended play (EP), one mixtape, 17 singles (including five as a featured artist) and 21 music videos.

Aiko embarked on her career being known as the cousin of American R&B group B2K's rapper, Lil' Fizz, though she is not actually related to him. It was used as a marketing tool, suggested by her labels Sony, The Ultimate Group and Epic Records, to promote her through B2K and attract an audience; nonetheless, Aiko affirms that she and Lil' Fizz grew up together and were close like family. In 2003, her labels released a song titled "No L.O.V.E", as a CD single, which was accompanied by a music video that debuted on BET's 106 & Park, when she was 15 years old. Aiko was then set to release her debut album, My Name Is Jhené, but the album was never released due to tension at Epic, which ultimately led to Aiko asking to be released from the label. She later left the aforementioned labels in order to continue her education.

In March 2011, Aiko made her return to music with the release of her first full-length project, a mixtape titled Sailing Soul(s). On December 16, 2011, she signed a recording contract with American record producer No I.D.'s record label Artium, distributed through Def Jam Recordings. In 2013, she appeared on American rapper Big Sean's single "Beware", also featuring Lil Wayne, which became her first Top 40 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In November 2013, she released her first EP, titled Sail Out, which was supported by the singles "3:16AM", "Bed Peace" and "The Worst". In June 2014, she released "To Love & Die", the lead single from her debut studio album Souled Out.

title: Big Hill, Victoria (Surf Coast Shire)

text:
Big Hill is a coastal locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia.

The locality was first developed with the construction of the Great Ocean Road over the eponymous hill in 1920-21, when 100 returned soldiers were employed cutting a road through the area. The Great Ocean Road Trust opened up a subdivision of 140 allotments named the "Big Hill Estate" in 1924 to raise funding for the continued construction of the road; while these were sold, a township never developed.

A guest house, "Iluka", was built on the new road, but burned down in 1926. Nationally renowned landscape designer Edna Walling bought 12 acres of the Big Hill Estate in the late 1940s with a view to creating a village there, but decided that it would spoil the location, and built a home, "East Point", there instead. Walling moved to Queensland in 1967, and the house burned down in a bushfire the same year; the ruins are listed on the Surf Coast Shire heritage inventory.

Big Hill today is a little-developed stretch of the Great Ocean Road, with much of the locality being within the Great Otway National Park. The House at Big Hill, which won numerous architecture awards, was built there in 2011. Although the Big Hill campsite is a popular camping destination in the area, it is formally in adjacent Lorne.

title: Taiwan Centers for Disease Control

text:
The Taiwan Centers for Disease Control (CDC; ) is the agency of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Republic of China (Taiwan) that combats the threat of communicable diseases.

Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC)

The Central Epidemic Command Center, division of the , is activated by the government of Taiwan for several disease outbreaks, as the 2009 swine flu pandemic and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The CECC has the authority to coordinate works across government departments and enlist additional personnel during an emergency.

History
The agency was established on 1 July 1999.

Timeline of early warning for COVID-19

TCDC officials saw premonitions of the COVID-19 pandemic in December on social media. As well, medical staff freely transit the Taiwan Strait, so the TCDC was dimly aware that something was awry in December. On 31 December, Wuhan city government stamped paper that required doctors in the city to report all cases of a novel pneumonia to them. On 1 January, the Huanan Seafood City market (HSCM) was shuttered by the health authorities.

By 5 January 2020, the Taiwan CDC began monitoring all individuals who had travelled to Wuhan within fourteen days and exhibited a fever or symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. These people were screened for 26 known pathogens, including SARS and Middle East respiratory syndrome, and those testing positive were quarantined.

Chuang Yin-ching recounted that "TCDC made a request to the Chinese health authority on 6 January. I was notified on 11 January. I remember that day very clearly because that was the Taiwan presidential election day. Around 6 pm in the afternoon I got a phone call from the director general of the Taiwan CDC that (I and a colleague) had permission to go to Wuhan. We flew there the next night for a meeting on 13 and 14 January morning and afternoon in Wuhan."

On 15 January, Chuang and his colleague were summoned to the Director-General of the TCDC. The next morning he was present at the expert task force meeting. This was followed by a press conference on 16 January.

On 20 January 2020, the CECC was activated.

title: 2014–15 Champions Hockey League group stage

text:
The group stage of the 2014–15 Champions Hockey League was played from 21 August to 8 October 2014. A total of 44 teams competed in the group stage.

Draw
The eleven groups were determined by a draw, which took place on 21 May 2014 in Minsk, Belarus. The 44 teams were allocated into four seeding pots, consisting of 11 teams each with the highest ranked teams in pot 1 and the lowest ranked teams in pot 4, based on a special ranking criteria:
 Champions of the six founding leagues,
 Regular season winners of the six founding leagues,
 Remaining A- and B-license teams according to placing within their leagues,
 Wild card teams, according to placing within their leagues.

The teams were then drawn into eleven groups of four containing one team from each of the four seeding pots, with the restriction that teams from the same national association could not be drawn against each other.

The fixtures were decided after the draw was released on 2 June 2014.

Teams
Below are the 44 teams in the group stage, grouped by their seeding pot, based on their ranking. Where teams finished in the same place in their respective leagues, they were ranked according to the IIHF World Ranking of the leagues.

Format
The 44 teams were divided into eleven groups of four teams each. In each group, teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format, giving six games per team. In total, 132 games were played in the group stage. The 11 group winners and the five best ranked runners-up qualified for the playoffs. The five best runners-up were determined by ranking all runners-up based on their number of points and goal differential in their respective groups, explained more detailed in section ranking of second-placed teams.

The matches are played in 60 minutes (3 periods with 20 minutes each) with the winning team receiving three points (the losing teams gets zero points). If a match ended with a draw both teams received one point and the game proceeded to a five-minute overtime (with teams playing with four players instead of regular five) to determine a winner of a bonuspoint. The first team to score in overtime wins the match and the bonuspoint. If the overtime ends scoreless a shootout is used to determine the winner (and who gets bonuspoint). The teams take five penalties each and the teams who scored most penalties take the win, and if the shootout is also a draw extra penalties are used to determine the winners.

Tiebreakers
The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win in regular time, 2 points for a win in overtime or shootout, 1 point for an initial tie and loss in overtime or shootout, 0 points for a loss in regular time). If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
Most points in games against other tied teams;
Best goal difference in games against other tied teams;
Most goals scored in games against other tied teams;

Once a team is separated from the group of tied teams, the remaining teams will return to criteria 1.

If two teams still remain tied and their two mutual games were decided in overtime or a penalty shootout, an overtime victory will be considered greater than a shootout victory. If both games were decided in shootouts, then the team that scored the most total goals in the two shootouts will be ranked ahead. Note that this criteria would only apply if only two teams remain tied.

If a tie still remains between two or more teams, the teams will be ranked in order of their finish in their most recent national championship (champion, runner-up, two remaining semi-finalists ranked by regular-season standings, four remaining quarter-finalists ranked by regular-season standings). If they finished in the same position in their respective leagues, the CHL Club Ranking will be used, which is same ranking used when seeding the clubs ahead of the group stage.

Groups
The group stage began on 21 August 2014 and ended on 8 October 2014. The matchdays were 21–22 August, 23–24 August, 4–5 September, 6–7 September, 23–24 September and 7–8 October 2014. All matchtimes are local times.

title: Marston Gate railway station

text:
Marston Gate Railway station was a station on the London and North Western Railway - Aylesbury Branch serving the nearby village of Long Marston, Hertfordshire. The station was the only intermediate stop on the line, which ran to Cheddington where it met with the main line.

History
The main use of Marston Gate was for transportation of Milk, Cattle and Manure, and it was recorded that in the early 1900s around 50 milk churns were loaded at this station every day - heading for the Nestlé factory in Aylesbury.  Fruit from the orchards in the local area was also transported from the station.

The station saw passenger use from its opening until 1953 when a bus service was introduced and took over from the line, although it was still used for rail freight; the line closed completely in 1963.

Routes
The trains calling at this station would go to Cheddington or Aylesbury

Today
As of December 2018, the station house is still in existence - albeit rebuilt and for use as a private house.  The road to Long Marston is still called Station Road.

title: Schumacher Racing Products

text:
Schumacher Racing Products (or just Schumacher) is a British manufacturer of radio-controlled cars and accessories with a primary focus on high-end racing products.

History

Foundation
The founder, Cecil Schumacher, was a Cosworth transmission engineer who was recruited from Borg Warner to lead the design team to adapt the Hobbs transmission (which he had worked on) to handle the Cosworth DFV's power. Cecil spotted his workmates driving radio-controlled cars on the company's helipad and decided it needed a ball differential after noticing the cars skittered.   He soon started noticing large areas that these early primitive cars could be improved. Having noticed high tyre wear he introduced the ball differential to radio-controlled cars.

These ball differentials were used by his son Robin then his friends then local model shop requested to stock it and soon international orders followed. It came to the point that Cecil Schumacher was making more money from this side business than through his employer. So in 1981 Schumacher Racing Products was formed in Northampton, England.

The company has always operated out of Northampton but sourced some components from China like most other successful RC companies; however, the majority of manufacturing remains in England and Schumacher remains very much an English company. Cecil Schumacher's son Robin Schumacher took over the business in 2001.

1980s
The first car to be produced by Schumacher was the XL Lexan chassis pan car in 1981 which had intentionally highly flexible chassis suitable for indoor racing. This was followed in 1983 by the "C" car which was made out of fibreglass reinforced epoxy resin sheet and designed specifically for racing on carpet. It included many features that are still around on every modern 1/12-scale car; race wins include the euros in 1985 and 1988.

In the latter half of the 1980s, off-road RC cars increased in popularity. In 1986 the first 4WD 1/10-scale off-road buggy was launched, called the SWB CAT. This launched the CAT (Competition All Terrain) brand for Schumacher. This first variant SWB (Standard Wheel Base) 4WD car was an instant success with serious RC fans with its popularity cemented into history when Masami Hirosaka won the 1987 IFMAR off-road RC World Championships having been lent a works car after Schumacher scouts noted his driving form during practice sessions.

1990s
Following the success of the first generation of off-road CATs, Schumacher continued to produce many successful off and on-road electric cars. The popularity of the touring car class seriously affected the off-road world during the 1990s. Schumacher stepped down the development of this class through the 1990s. Schumacher was then starting to dominate a niche in the "fun" car sector, with high-power/speed nitro-powered models capable of real speeds in excess of 80 mph.

2000s
Over the turn of this century the Schumacher product line-up became quite familiar with the "fun" cars with increasing number of nitro products; however it remained in the 1/10 competition touring cars market.

2010s
The flood of cheap high-volume low-margin ready to run cars produced in Asia meant the company no longer produce a nitro car or fun car. Schumacher now concentrate on the high level 1/10-scale electrical competitive market. Alongside their Mi touring car range the company re-entered the off-road scene with the CAT SX (4WD) and Cougar SV (2WD). Vintage racing of older designed cars became popular with Schumacher re-releasing the CAT XLS in 2017 and then the Top Cat. In the mid 2010s a move was made to help the sport grow with the introduction of a number of lower priced competition cars. The Mi1 touring car was introduced alongside the ever evolving top spec version. And then a move was made to re-establish 1/12th electric carpet racing with the launch of the Supastock and Eclipse range. It also increased its distrution business of other none competing RC products.

2020s
In January 2020 Schumacher won IFMAR 1/12 World Championships held in Milton Keynes

title: Ringo (software)

text:
Ringo was an international calling app for smartphones that utilized dedicated phone circuits for making calls. Ringo used local phone networks instead of the user's  smart phone's Internet connection to connect calls. The caller, but not the called party, downloaded and used the app to make calls. Apps were available for Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. Ringo launched in 2014 and was available for use in many countries, though not all supported all three calling methods:- callout, callback and WiFi.  Calls could be made to mobile and landline phones in any country. Ringo was discontinued on March 31, 2021.

History

Ringo was developed by start-up Riva FZC, the parent holding company of Ringo.

Features and functionality

Ringo allowed users to make calls to any number in any destination worldwide and did not use a web connection for its calls. Users could purchase top-up credits through the app for Android and Windows Phone and through the website for iOS to make calls. When a call was made using Ringo, it was connected to a local phone network and assigned a local number. The system then switched the call to connect through submarine cables. At the receiver's destination country the call was connected to a local network again. Although the call was assigned different local numbers every time it was made, the receiver saw the caller's contact details only.

title: Azerbaijani pop music

text:
Azerbaijani pop music () is a pop music created in Azerbaijan. The emergence of Azerbaijani pop music dates back to the mid-20th century. Growth of new generation of musicians in the 1970s positively influenced Azerbaijan pop music's "golden age". Performers of traditional pop music such as Mirza Babayev, Flora Karimova and Shovkat Alakbarova achieved great success at that time. Contemporary Azerbaijani pop music has its roots in traditional Azerbaijani folk music.

As a result of globalisation, Azerbaijani pop music has been heavily influenced by both dance and electronic forms of pop music of the 1980s, as well as by genres of the 2000s such as electropop, dance-pop and synth-pop. In 2011, the song Running Scared (Ell & Nikki song), performed by the duo Ell & Nikki, was Azerbaijan's first-ever victory on European song contest Eurovision.

History

1960s
The early 1960s were probably the era when Azerbaijani pop music was most dependent on the group format, with pop acts, like rock bands, playing guitars and drums, with the occasional addition of keyboards or orchestration. Classical pop-folk music enjoyed mainstream popularity during this era, with artists such as Anatollu Ganiyev, Muslim Magomayev and Shahlar Guliyev.

1970s
The Azerbaijani pop music experienced during the late 1970s a golden age of productivity characterized by the rise of a new generation of musicians. The classical pop artists such as Rashid Behbudov, Mirza Babayev, Flora Karimova, Shovkat Alakbarova, Ogtay Aghayev, and Gulagha Mammadov experienced their greatest success at the start of the decade and maintained their popularity throughout the entire music history.

1980s
Akif Islamzade often considered one of the most successful and influential Azerbaijani male pop artists of the early 1980s.

Baku chanson, a subgenre of Russian chanson, picked up popularity for the mid 1980s. Artists such as Eyyub Yaqubov brought Baku chanson to popularity in 1992. However, many artists were uncomfortable with their success, and were equally suspicious of the chanson label.

1990s
In the early 1990s, the country music charts were dominated by pop singers with only tangential influences from regional music such as Niyameddin Musayev and Baloghlan Ashrafov, a trend that has continued since.

In the 1990s, while the singles charts were dominated by boy bands and girl groups like Karvan and W Trio, artists like Aygun Kazimova, Faig Aghayev, Samir Bagirov, Zulfiyya Khanbabayeva and Brilliant Dadasheva also enjoyed their greatest level of mainstream success to date, and the rise of World music helped revitalise the popularity of folk music.

During first Nagorno-Karabakh War, in stark contrast to the upbeat dance based music of the scene was the emergence military bard that emerged as part of the independent or alternative folk scenes of the 1990s, following the lead of artists such as Shamistan Alizamanli and Mubariz Taghiyev.

2000s
The Azerbaijani pop singer Röya breakthrough at the early 2000s led to her major international success in many Turkic speaking countries, especially the Iranian Azerbaijan and Turkey in addition to the music scene of Azerbaijan.

At the beginning of the new millennium, while talent show contestants were one of the major forces in pop music, as country made its debut appearance at the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. The country's entry gained the third place in 2009 and fifth the following year. Ell and Nikki won the first place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 with the song "Running Scared", entitling Azerbaijan to host the contest in 2012, in Baku.

On contrary, many music critics argued that the surge of Yeni Ulduz (Pop Idol) type competitions and reality shows on Azerbaijani TV has only added to the pop industry's shallow image, and is cited as the reason why underground and reactionary music is becoming more popular.

2010s
Influenced by globalization of the world music, electropop, dance-pop, synthpop and electrohop, along with other forms of dance, electronica and pop music that started in the 1980s, have become the dominant form of music in the Azerbaijan in the early 2010s.

Despite the commercial dominance of hip-hop and pop during this period, rapper Miri Yusif found success with his reggae and soul fusion album "Karma", peaked at number 1 in the Azerbaijani Albums Chart in 2010.Also in 2018 the most viewed azerbaijani song belongs to Miri Yusif " Ad günü " (ft. Dilara Kazimova ) . Azerbaijan pop music industry keep growing up with Youtube mashups.

title: New Burlington Street

text:
New Burlington Street (originally Little Burlington Street) is a street in central London that is on land that was once part of the Burlington Estate. The current architecture of the street bears little resemblance to the original design of the street when first built in the early eighteenth century.

Location

The street runs east–west from Savile Row to Regent Street.

History
New Burlington Street was the last street to be built on the Burlington Estate, in c. 1735–9. The street was intended, like other streets on the estate, for occupation principally by people of high social status and its first houses, many now demolished, were similar to those on Savile Row. Also like Savile Row, the street included commercial premises as well; number 11, for instance, was first occupied by Robert Fisher, who ran Burlington Coffee House (or Fisher's Coffee House) from the building.

According to Hughson's London, it was in New Burlington Street in 1763 that the practice of placing brass name-plates on doors first started. The idea then spread to Hanover Square and from there was generally adopted.

In 1771, Sir Joseph Banks acquired a house in the street after his return from Captain James Cook's first great voyage (1768–1771), during which he visited Brazil, Tahiti, and Australia. Banks was President of the Royal Society for over 40 years.

Number 5 was first occupied by the Dowager Viscountess Irwin, a member of the Howard family and daughter of the third Earl of Carlisle, in 1735 or 1736. Between 1848 and 1869 the house was the headquarters of the Royal Asiatic Society.

Mary Boyle's "blue-stocking" parties

Mary Boyle, Countess of Cork and legendary bluestocking, had a house in the street and died there in 1840. Her home was the site of numerous literary parties over more than fifty years, attended by figures such as Dr. Samuel Johnson, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, King George IV, British Prime Minister George Canning (who once practised his debating skills at the nearby Clifford Street Club), the actors Sarah Siddons and her brother John Kemble, and the poet Lord Byron.

Her house was described as "most tastefully fitted for the reception of her illustrious guests: every part of it abounded in pretty things — objets, as they are sometimes called, which her visitors were strictly forbidden to touch. Beyond her magnificent drawing-rooms appeared a boudoir, and beyond it a long rustic room, with a moss-covered floor, with plants and statues".

Boyle's parties were of two kinds: "fine-lady parties, which she called pink; her blue-stocking parties, which she called blue; and, more frequently, a mixture of both. At the last, she would assemble two or three fine ladies, two or three wits or poets, two or three noblemen and distinguished members of the House of Commons, and one or two of her own family, seldom exceeding ten or twelve, at a round table".

Listed buildings
Numbers 1 and 2 New Burlington Street have been accorded Grade II listed building status by English Heritage. They comprise a pair of terraced houses, built in 1717–20, that were part of Lord Burlington's early development of the area.

10 New Burlington Street
Number 10 is a new building, built by the Crown Estate and Examplar, and designed by the architects AHMM. There will be  of retail space on three floors, plus  of office space above. The retail space has been let in its entirety to the American clothing retailer J.Crew, and it will be their first retail store in Europe. It was completed in June 2014, totals 195,000 sq ft of offices and retail, and was 80% let as of June 2014. It is the UK's first speculatively-built new building to be lit exclusively by LEDs.

Jai Lalitha is a 2014 Kannada-language comedy film directed by Pon Kumaran. It stars Sharan, Aishwarya Devan, Disha Pandey and Ravishankar Gowda in the lead roles. The film is a remake of the Malayalam film Mayamohini (2012). Jai Lalitha released on 27 June 2014.

Previously titled Smt. Jayalalitha, the film met with controversies over the name coinciding with the name of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa. Later, it was renamed as Jai Lalitha. However, the director clarified that the name has no connection with the chief minister and instead signifies the strong embodiment of the 'woman-in-disguise' character that Sharan was supposed to play.

Production
Pon Kumaran, who tasted success with Vishnuvardhana and Chaarulatha, planned to remake the Malayalam hit film Mayamohini in Kannada. He approached actor Sharan and narrated the story to him while on the sets of Kempegowda. Sharan was initially reluctant to appear in a female get-up. Later, he agreed upon the role and shed around 11 kilos in preparation. To get the external appearance right, he went through beauty treatments including facial, bleaching and threading. He stated that he lived like a woman for four months, trying to adopt feminine mannerisms by shutting himself at home and wearing his wife's clothes to practice.

Jai Lalitha was shot in Bangalore, Mysore and other areas of Karnataka.

Soundtrack
The audio was launched on 26 May 2014 at hotel Citadel in Bangalore. Popular music director V. Harikrishna and director Dinakar Thoogudeep were present as the chief guest. Actor Upendra and director Yogaraj Bhat have recorded their voices for the soundtrack of the film. The music is composed by Sridhar V.

The film released on 27 June 2014. The distribution rights were taken up by Thoogudeepa Productions of actor Darshan and his brother Dinakar. Jai Lalitha was given a U/A certificate by the Regional Censor Board.

Critical reception
The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Director P Kumar has selected a good subject with a focus on comedy. Even the script too deserves a pat. But as story opens up, there are too many characters and sequences that give new twists to the story. Though it is appreciable as all of them form part of the script, it is difficult to follow the sequences suddenly too many turns to the story crop up. Once the movie ends, it takes sometime for the audience to recap the narration. But director has mainatined [sic] the comedy to some extent in all sequences with dialogues and Sharan at his best". The New Indian Express wrote, "P Kumar seems to have definitely done justice to this remake of the Malayalam comedy flick Mayamohini. Sure to tickle your funny bones, Jai Lalitha is a one-time watch".

Deccan Chronicle wrote, "Though the hard work towards looking ‘like’ a woman reflects well in the posters, it does not replicate much in terms of performance and makes it a painful watch for over two hours. It is yet again a simple gimmick to draw the audience to theatres while the screenplay and other vital aspects lack substance for a decent entertainment".

title: Dave Goulson

text:
Dave Goulson  (born 30 July 1965) is Professor of Biology (Evolution, Behaviour and Environment) at the University of Sussex. Specializing in the ecology and conservation of insects, particularly bumblebees, Goulson is the author of several books, including Bumblebees: Their Behaviour and Ecology (2003), Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse (2021), and more than 200 academic articles. In 2006 he founded the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, a charity that aims to reverse the decline in the bumblebee population.

Early life and education
Goulson's upbringing was in rural Shropshire. He attended Adams Grammar School from 1977 to 1982, then New College, Telford from 1982 to 1984.

He studied biology at Brasenose College, Oxford, then completed a PhD in butterfly ecology at Oxford Brookes University under the supervision of Denis Owen.

Goulson has said that when he was born in 1965, the British short-haired bumblebee was quite widespread, but he never managed to see one before they became extinct in the UK. In his book A Sting in the Tale (2013), he described a causal link between World War II and the decline of the bee as a result of intensive farming, pesticide use, and the resultant habitat loss, initially caused by a need to increase wartime food production. "The shorthaired bumblebee died out because its habitats were swept away," he wrote. "It wasn't all that fussy, it just needed enough flowers to feed on: no flowers equals no bees."

Career
Goulson started his academic career at Southampton University in 1995 as a lecturer in biology, where he began to research the life of bumblebees. In 2006 he transferred to the University of Stirling as Professor of Biological Sciences. He was awarded the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council BBSRC Social Innovator of the Year in 2010. In 2013 he moved to the University of Sussex as Professor of Biology (Evolution, Behaviour and Environment). In 2015 he was listed at No. 8 in BBC Wildlife magazine's list of the top 50 "Conservation Heroes". He serves on the board of trustees of the Pesticide Action Network and as an Ambassador for The Wildlife Trusts in the United Kingdom.

Bumblebee Conservation Trust
In 2006 Goulson founded the charity the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. He was well aware that too much scientific research was read only by fellow scientists and that there was a need to engage the wider public: "You can publish experiments in high quality journals again and again but they are only read by a few dozen scientists who work in your field. It achieves little or nothing in the real world."

Awards
(2010). Biotechnology & Biological Sciences Research Council's Social Innovator of the Year Award.
(2013). Zoological Society of London's Marsh Award for Conservation Biology.
(2014). British Ecological Society's Public Engagement Award.

title: Anna Crusis Women's Choir

text:
The Anna Crusis Feminist Choir is the longest-running feminist choir in the United States, founded in 1975 by Dr. Catherine Roma, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ANNA Crusis is known for its dedication to social justice, focusing on a wide range of repertoire including feminist and LGBTQ+ themes, celebrating the strength, resilience, and solidarity of marginalized communities.

Led by Artistic Director Miriam Davidson, ANNA’s membership embraces diversity of age, ethnicity, and gender identity; our repertoire reflects the rich spectrum of human lives and struggles. The songs we sing tell a variety of experiences and perspectives that point our singers and audiences to a greater understanding of the rich diversity of the world in which we live.

ANNA self-produces two major concerts each year and performs many community outreach programs throughout the season. We can often be heard singing at benefits, rallies, LGBTQ+ community events, and anywhere that music can bring a sense of hope and empowerment. ANNA has performed at numerous venues in Philadelphia and New York City, such as the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the Annenberg Center, World Café Live, the United Nations, and Carnegie Hall. ANNA was invited to participate in the International Festival of Choirs held in Santiago de Cuba in October 2019. ANNA has also sung with artists including Dr. Ysaye Barnwell (Sweet Honey In the Rock), Demi Lovato, Hugh Jackman, Holly Near, Moira Smiley, Melanie DeMore, Sharon Katz, and the Peace Train, The Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus, Philadelphia Voices of Pride, The Philadelphia Freedom Band, Sister Cities Girl Choir, Nashirah Jewish Chorale of Philadelphia and a host of others.

ANNA is a founding member of GALA, the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses. GALA is the world’s only association dedicated to serving the LGBTQ+ choral community, with more than 190 chorus and 10,000 singer members in North America, Europe, South America, Africa, and Australia.

ANNA is also a member of Sister Singers Network, a cooperative web of feminist choruses and ensembles, composers, arrangers, and individual singers working together to support and enrich the women’s choral movement.

Politics and Process

ANNA Crusis has a strong educational and social mission, performing music from all over the world and addressing issues of peace, justice and equality both on stage and off. They have a long history of supporting LGBTQ+ issues, frequently performing with other groups at events such as International Women's Day and Philly Pride.

An amateur community choir, ANNA Crusis places a strong emphasis on musical excellence and inclusiveness, welcoming singers of all ethnicities, cultures, gender identities. The choir welcomes singers with disabilities and traditionally includes a sign language interpreter at its concerts.  Although singers must audition, the choir includes singers of all levels of musical training ranging from those who do not read music, to those with professional training.

Artistic Directors

Catherine Roma, 1975-1983

Catherine Roma was born in Philadelphia and attended Germantown Friends School, a Quaker School. Roma earned degrees in music (BA) and choral conducting (MM) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and became involved in lesbian and feminist politics while studying there.  While in Wisconsin she worked with historian Ann D. Gordon to identify music by and about women throughout history, creating the folk opera American Women: A Choral History for the United States Bicentennial. After returning to Philadelphia in 1975 to teach music at Abington Friends School, she formed the Anna Crusis Women's Choir, which performed American Women: A Choral History at a number of colleges throughout the northeast.

By starting Anna Crusis, the first feminist women’s choir in the United States, Cathy Roma became one of the founding mothers of the women's choral movement. Her beliefs in feminism, social justice, and Quaker models of leadership fundamentally shaped the mission and direction of Anna Crusis. Decisions were often made through a process similar to Quaker consensus, in which all members had a voice.

Cathy Roma left Anna in 1983 to pursue a graduate degree in music at the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, receiving her Doctor of Musical Arts Degree in 1989.  In Cincinnati Roma founded MUSE (Cincinnati's Women's Choir).

Jane Hulting, 1983–2005, sabbatical 2003

With the departure of Cathy Roma, the future of Anna Crusis became uncertain.  However, the choir was able to connect with Jane Hulting, originally from Minnesota.  A graduate of the Conservatory of Music in Kansas City, Hulting  moved to Philadelphia in 1983 to attend the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. She became musical director of Anna Crusis in 1984. Under Hulting's direction, the choir's repertoire continued to be innovative, including a wide variety of languages and musical styles.

Jacqueline Coren, interim 2003, 2005-2011

Jacqueline Coren's first involvement with the Anna Crusis Women's Choir was as a singer. When Jane Hulting went on sabbatical, Jackie stepped in as interim director.  When Jane left, Coren auditioned for the choir's board of directors and was eventually selected as the new musical director of the choir. Jacqueline Coren holds both a master's degree in choral conducting from Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey and a master's degree in divinity from Quaker Earlham School of Religion. In addition to her work with Anna Crusis, she worked as choral director at the George School, a Quaker school in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and formed the Pendle Hill Chorus. Anna Crusis  continued to perform a broad range of music, often reflecting political and social concerns of choir members of the choir who supported Anna Crusis' mission of social change through music.  The choir continued to collaborate with other groups, including performing with Holly Near in a People's Music Network concert, participating in GALA's Equality Forum, and singing in a merged chorus with the Philadelphia Gay Men's Chorus and the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia.

Miriam Davidson, interim 2011, 2012–

Miriam is a multi-instrumentalist/vocalist, singer-songwriter, author for Alfred Publishing and recording artist, as well as choral director. As a performer she has toured extensively throughout the United States, performing at folk and women’s music festivals, concerts series’, coffee houses, and house concerts. She has garnered many awards from both the Folk and LGBTQ communities and has recorded and co-produced eight CDs, several of which have won national awards. She is a member of the board of directors of GALA Choruses, has been a director of the Festival Choir at the National Women’s Music Festival and at SUUSI (Southeastern Unitarian Universalist Summer Institute). She is Music Director of the Unitarian Congregation of West Chester, and is the director of Makhaelat Michael, the Community Choir at Mishkan Shalom, Philadelphia. She has studied at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and at The Petrie School of Music at Converse College.

Clifton returned full-time to the main show for the fourteenth series and was paired with the TV presenter Ore Oduba. On 17 December they were crowned the winners, giving her her first win of the main series.
