text:
Milan () is a 1946 Hindi-language drama film directed by Nitin Bose. The film starred Dilip Kumar, Mira Misra, Ranjana, Pahari Sanyal and Moni Chatterjee. It was an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's 1906 Bengali story Noukadubi (The Wreck). The screenplay adaptation was done by Sajanikanta Das with dialogues translated into Hindi by P. L. Santoshi. The film's music was composed by Anil Biswas and the lyrics written by P. L. Santoshi and Arzu Lakhnavi.

The story revolves around a young law student who is forced into an arranged marriage though he is in love with another woman. Following the wedding the drama focuses on the bride's mistaken identity and the search for her husband.

Story

The story is set in 1905. Ramesh (Dilip Kumar) is studying law in Calcutta and has just appeared for his final exams. He is a friend and neighbour of Jogen who is also studying law. Jogen (Shyam Laha) lives with his father Annada Babu (Moni Chatterjee) and sister Hemnalini (Ranjana). Ramesh and Hemnalini are fond of each other and Ramesh visits their house most days for tea. Their association is disliked by another friend Akshay (Pahari Sanyal) who also likes Hemnalini. Ramesh has been asked to come back to his village for the holidays by his father but is dissuaded from going by Hemnalini. Ramesh's father Braja Mohan (K. P. Mukherjee) is from the priestly caste and lives in the village. He receives an anonymous letter stating that his son is involved with the neighbour's daughter who comes from a tradesman caste and that he spends his entire time there.  Braja Mohan goes to the city and brings Ramesh back with him to the village. He has arranged Ramesh's wedding with a poor widow's daughter.  Ramesh tries to convince his father about his involvement with Hemnalini. His father after satisfying himself that Ramesh has as yet not committed himself to Hemnalini prevails upon Ramesh to marry Sushila because of the promise he had given to the girl's mother. There is a storm at night when the wedding party from the groom's side is returning to their village by boat. During the crossing the boat capsizes. Nearly all on the boat are drowned including Ramesh's father and Ramesh appears to be the only one to survive. He sees a woman in bridal dress lying unconscious on the bank. He brings her to his village but soon understands that this is a case of mistaken identity. She continuously checks him when he calls her Sushila and tells him her name is Kamala. He realises there was another bridal procession and their boat too had capsized.

After the formalities of his father's funeral service Ramesh decides to take Kamala to Calcutta. He finds out about her only living relative, an uncle, and writes to him. A letter arrives telling him of the death of Kamala's uncle but the sender has mentioned the husband's name and profession. His name is Nalin and he's a doctor. Ramesh starts searching for Dr. Nalin. He has made no mention of his marriage to Hemnalini or her family nor told anyone regarding the mistaken identity of his supposed bride to avoid any embarrassment to the girl.

On arrival in Calcutta, Ramesh suggests that Kamala get an education. After allaying her apprehension regarding her age he admits her in a girl's boarding school in the same city. Akshay's sister also studies in the same school and through her Akshay gets to know the truth about Ramesh's marriage. In the evening he questions Ramesh in front of Hemnalini. Ramesh deflects the question and asks Hem to trust him. Preparations are on at Annada's house for the wedding of Hemnalini and Ramesh. Their wedding is set for the coming Sunday but Ramesh is asked by the principal to take Kamala home for the weekend. Ramesh postpones the wedding and brings Kamala back from school. Akshay brings Jogen to Ramesh's house where they see Kamala and on being questioned Ramesh keeps silent. Hemnalini goes into a state of shock when she's told about Ramesh's wife. Her father takes her to Kashi to recuperate. Ramesh decides to leave Calcutta and he takes Kamala with him to Ghazipur. Kamala reads the letter Ramesh has written to Hem explaining the entire situation and mentioning Kamala's husband's name.  She finally recognises the truth about her and Ramesh's situation. She decides to kill herself and leaves the house.  She is rescued and comes under Nalin's mother's care. She realises that Nalin is her husband but finds out that Hem and he are to be betrothed. However, Nalin is not happy about the betrothal as he refuses to believe that Kamala is dead and wants to wait a while longer.  Finally the truth comes out and she's accepted by her husband and his mother while Ramesh and Hemnalini get back together.

title: James Douglas (antiquary)

text:
James Douglas (7 January 1753 – 11 November 1819) was an English cleric, antiquarian and artist.

Early life
Douglas was born on 7 January 1753 in London. He was the third and youngest surviving son of John Douglas, an innkeeper in Hyde Park Road, London. After the death of most of the family, he went north to stay with his brother William, a cloth merchant in Manchester, and attended Manchester grammar school.

Douglas travelled on business for his brother William, but they fell out when he misused funds. He entered the Austrian Army, dropping out when on a mission to Great Britain. He entered Peterhouse, Cambridge in 1777; and in 1779 he served under Hugh Debbieg in the Leicestershire militia. In 1780 he was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and took holy orders.

Clergyman
The early part of Douglas's ministry was at Chiddingfold, Surrey. On 17 November 1787 he was instituted to the rectory of Litchborough, Northamptonshire, on the presentation of Sir William Addington, and towards the end of that year he was appointed one of the Prince of Wales's chaplains. He resigned Litchborough in 1799 on being presented by the lord chancellor, through the recommendation of the Earl of Egremont, to the rectory of Middleton, Sussex. In 1803 he was presented by Lord Henniker to the vicarage of Kenton, Suffolk.

The closing years of Douglas's life were spent at Preston, Sussex, where he died on 11 November 1819.

title: List of Indonesian drinks

text:
This is a list of Indonesian drinks. The most common and popular Indonesian drinks and beverages are teh (tea) and kopi (coffee). Indonesian households commonly serve teh manis (sweet tea) or kopi tubruk (coffee mixed with sugar and hot water and poured straight in the glass without separating out the coffee residue) to guests. Fruit juices (jus) are very popular, and hot sweet beverages can also be found, such as bajigur and bandrek.

Many popular drinks are based on ice (es) and can also be classified as desserts. Typical examples include young coconut (es kelapa muda), grass jelly (es cincau) and cendol (es cendol or es dawet). As a Muslim-majority country, Indonesian Muslims share Islamic dietary laws that prohibit alcoholic beverages. However, since ancient times, local alcoholic beverages were developed in the archipelago. According to a Chinese source, people of ancient Java drank wine made from palm sap called tuak (palm wine).

title: Four Year Undergraduate Programme protests

text:
The Four Year Undergraduate Programme Row or FYUP Row involved a series of protests by local students and teachers against the implementation of certain controversial reforms and education policies at the University of Delhi. The protests intensified between 2013 and 2014, when a new four-year undergraduate programme was started by the administrative authorities at the university.

In June 2014, following the change of power in the central government from the Congress-led UPA to the BJP-led NDA government, the University Grants Commission (UGC) had sent a legal notice to the management, directing the university to immediately scrap the four-year programme and revert to the earlier three-year undergraduate degree, as it had claimed that it found the four-year programme to be in violation with the National Policy of Education in India.

However, it was reported that a panel in the UGC had once again recommended the programme during the current NDA government regime led by the BJP in 2019. In July 2020, the BJP government announced a new National Educational Policy underlining a four-year undergraduate structure with a choice-based credit system. The policy has been criticised by academics once again.

Stand-off between Delhi University and the UGC
The BJP government's Smriti Irani was the one to have earlier enabled the move to undo the Congress government's FYUP syllabus back in 2014 immediately after she came to power as the then Education Minister. Proponents of the FYUP programme and some other members of the academic fraternity had felt that the UGC's directive to the university to revert to the old structure was a step against its autonomy. One of these proponents of the FYUP who opposed the Irani-led rollback also included BB Bhattacharya, the former vice chancellor of the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.

The initial proposal for the FYUP had been initiated by the then Congress government's Education Ministry led by Kapil Sibal. The Kapil Sibal–initiated reforms were seen as a move to privatise a public university, as part of the previous Congress-led UPA government's agenda to enable foreign universities to set up campuses in India. They instead stressed upon the need for greater public policy and regulation in the education system.

The FYUP
The programme was structured such that it would be inter-disciplinary, which was not the case in the traditional honours programme. It also provided multiple exit points, which meant students could withdraw from the programme mid-way as well, with a lower diploma or other kind of certificate, after the first or second or third year of the course. The three-year honours programme is discipline-specific, offering a full specialisation in any one academic area from the arts or sciences or commerce stream. The syllabus of the four-year undergraduate programme, on the other hand, consisted of eleven compulsory foundation courses including language, literature and creativity, information technology, business, entrepreneurship and management, science and life, history of science (for visually impaired students), Indian history and culture, building mathematical ability and awareness (for visually impaired students), governance and citizenship, philosophy, psychology, communication and life skills, geographic and socio-economic diversity, environment and public health, and an applied language course (in English, Hindi, Bengali, Arabic, Persian, Punjabi, Sanskrit or Urdu).

According to updates and sources on the university website, these foundation courses were designed with the intention of addressing issues related to economic development, energy, water, urbanisation, rural culture, infrastructure, transport, sanitation, environment, public health, food security, agriculture, education, literacy, ethics, and social justice. The methodology of teaching was meant to inculcate a participatory ethos, with a minimised pressure on reading, and a greater emphasis on presentation skills.

Over and above the foundation course were the applied language courses and the "Discipline (DC) I" and "Discipline (DC) II" courses that would pertain to a student's choice of major and minor specialisations respectively. There were also a set of vocational courses, and finally a course on the "integration of mind, body, and heart", which was to be based on Gandhian philosophy.

Media Coverage

The Times of India maintained a balanced coverage on the protests and initially interviewed members of the student-teacher community as well as later the administrative staff, without taking any stand of its own. The Hindu newspaper and The Hindustan Times opposed the reforms but also criticised the UGC for interfering with the autonomy of the university after the Smriti Irani–led ministry ordered a rollback.

title: Udet U 1

text:
The Udet U 1 was the first of a line of small, low-powered, low wing, cantilever monoplanes built in Germany in the early 1920s.

Design and development

In the summer of 1921, a new aviation company was formed using the WWI German flying ace Ernst Udet's name. William Pohl from Milwaukee, Hans Henry Herrmann and Erich Scheuermann joined the company to fund the aircraft before postwar treaty restrictions were lifted on aircraft production, with the intent of building an inexpensive aircraft for the American market. The builders produced and flew the U 1 five months before the formation of the Udet Flugzeubau GmbH company.

The design was a low wing, cantilever monoplane in an era dominated by biplanes. The U 1 was a single-seater, as the air-cooled,  Haacke HFM-2 flat-twin did not have enough power for more than one person. An enlarged-bore version of the engine, the  HFM-2a was used in the two seat U-2.

The U-2, like its predecessor, had a one-piece wing with a high aspect ratio of 9. In plan it was trapezoidal out to angled tips and had light dihedral. It was built around twin wooden spars; ahead of the leading spar the wing was plywood-covered, forming a torsion-resistant D-box. Ailerons, which filled about 40% of the trailing edge, reached out to the tips.

Behind the engine in its aluminium cowling the fuselage was structurally rectangular in section apart from raised upper decking and was ply-covered. Pilot and passenger sat in tandem in a single, open cockpit, with the pilot in front and over the centre of the wing. It had a conventional, rather angular tail, with a fin of greater area than the rudder, though this reached down to the keel; the tailplane, mounted on top of the fuselage, was also large compared with the elevators.

The U 2 had a conventional undercarriage, with pairs of outward-reaching V-struts from the lower fuselage joined at their vertices by a transverse member, to which the single axle was held by shock absorbing rubber rings.

With a passenger the U-2 was slower than the U 1 and clearly under-powered, so the last three variants, the U 4, U 6 and U 10, were fitted with more powerful Siemens-Halske radial engines.

Operational history

The Siemens-Halske-powered U 6 and U 10 variants sold best, with about 16 built. Flown by Udet, the longer span U 10 was the fastest aircraft in the Coupe d'Italie des Avions de Tourisme held in November 1924, though criticized for its high landing speed. In 1925 a U 10 came first in the under- class of the Deutschen Rundflug.

The top four teams from both sections qualified to the 2000 Currie Cup Top 8 stage, carrying forward the results they got against their three fellow qualifiers. In the Top 8, they then faced all the teams from the opposite section once, either home and away.

The bottom three teams from both qualification sections qualified to the 2000 Bankfin Cup stage, carrying forward the results they got against their two fellow qualifiers. In the Bankfin Cup, they then faced all the teams from the opposite section once, either home and away.

In all three stages of the competition, teams received four points for a win and two points for a draw. Bonus points were awarded to teams that scored four or more tries in a game, as well as to teams that lost a match by seven points or less. Teams were ranked by log points, then points difference (points scored less points conceded).

At the end of the Top 8 and Bankfin Cup stages, the top four teams qualified for the title play-offs. In the semi-finals, the team that finished first had home advantage against the team that finished fourth, while the team that finished second had home advantage against the team that finished third. The winners of these semi-finals advanced to the final, at the home venue of the higher-placed team.

title: Wanda Błeńska

text:
Wanda Błeńska, also spelled Wanda Blenska (30 October 1911 – 27 November 2014), was a Polish leprosy expert, AK officer, and missionary who succeeded to develop the Buluba Hospital in Uganda into an internationally recognized centre for leprosy treatment.

Biography
Błeńska was born in Poznań and graduated from the Female High School in Toruń and from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Poznań in 1934. From 1934 to 1936 she worked at the City Hospital in Toruń, then in 1939 at the Marine Hospital in Gdynia. During the war she was a second lieutenant in Armia Krajowa (Home Army), a member of the Pomeranian Griffin, commander of the women's branch circuit of the Home Army in Toruń. After the IIWW, she led the municipal hospital in Toruń. From 1945 to 1946 she worked at the Medical University of Gdańsk. In 1946, she moved to Hannover.

title: Tapkeshwar Temple

text:
Tapkeshwar Temple, also known as Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple, is a temple in Dehradun dedicated to Shiva. The temple is on the bank of the Tons River, built on top of a natural cave, which holds the temple's main shivalinga.

History
The Tapkeshwar Temple is alleged to be 6,000 years old. It has a natural shivalinga in the cave, which became a place of reverence for the local people.

It is also believed that this was used as a residence by Dronacharya, the teacher of the Pandavas and Kauravas in the Hindu epic Mahabharata; the cave is called Drona Cave after him. Dronacharya's wife Kalyani was unable to breastfeed their newborn son Ashwatthama. As Dronacharya was unable to afford a cow or cow's milk, Ashwatthama prayed to Shiva, who then fed him milk dripping from the shivalinga in the cave.

Operations
The temple is popular as both a tourist destination and a pilgrimage site in Dehradun. Pilgrims bathe in the nearby sulphur-water springs before entering the temple.

Drona Cave, surrounded by hills, is a popular site for picnickers from Dehradun and nearby districts.

Events
The temple hold a large festival on Shivratri. The temple committee organizes free meals for the devotees.

Every year on Holi, a local theater group, Hamari Pehchan, begins their holiday performance at the temple.

Ian John Norman (5 February, 1939 – 29 May 2014) was an Australian businessman and retail executive.

Career
Norman met his business partner Gerry Harvey when both were working as travelling door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesmen. In 1961, the duo partnered to open their first store in Sydney, which specialised in home appliances and electronics. Their store, which was called Norman Ross, expanded to forty-two stores by 1979, with annual sales of AUS$240 million that year. Harvey and Norman sold the Norman Ross chain to Grace Brothers who subsequently sold the company to Alan Bond in 1982.

The business partners then co-founded Harvey Norman, an Australian independly owned retail chain, that bears their name, in 1982. The new chain offered consumer electronics, furniture, and other household goods. The first store under the newly created name known as "Harvey Norman" opened at a shopping centre in Auburn, New South Wales, in 1982, the same year as the sale.

Forbes, had estimated in 2001, that he was 37th richest person in Australia.

By 2014, Ian Norman, who remained an executive, held 175 million shares of Harvey Norman, a 16.5% stake worth an estimated $560 million. Norman who had previously resided at Darling Point, New South Wales, died from throat cancer at his home at Terrigal, New South Wales on 29 May 2014, at the age of 75.

title: 46 South End

text:
46 South End, located in South Croydon, is Croydon's oldest surviving shop. The building is Grade II listed, dating back to the 17th century. The building retains its original timber framing and the front has distinctive and attractive elevations. The rear of the building is partly of modern construction. Since 1985 it has been home to Just Flutes, a music shop.

History
The original nature of the building, or who early occupants were is unknown. Records of street directories dating back to 1851 give the names E.C. Johnson & Thorpe, though no detail of the usage of the premises at the time. After an unoccupied period, the shop was a pork butchers for around 20 years.

From 1900 for 58 years, it was lived in by J. Gladwish, who established Gladwish's, a grocery and provisions shop.

In 1962 the property was bought by Mr Brian Trengove. He moved his business, Trengove Antiques, from a previous shop, which was demolished to make way for the Croydon Flyover. On several occasions, attempts at selling the property were made as seen by a newspaper article, dated October 6, 1982

Alterations
It is thought that at some point in the 1950s, the southern portion of the original house was demolished, and a three-storey building erected in its place.

Modern Day Status

In 1998 the building was purchased by Mr Jonathan Myall after moving from his existing shop in Coulsdon. The building is now used as a woodwind and brass specialist music retail outlet, Just Flutes, with an internationally renowned main speciality in flutes.

title: List of works by Leslie Charteris

text:
Leslie Charteris (born Leslie Charles Bowyer Yin; 1907–1993) was a British-American writer best known for his series on stories featuring Simon Templar, also known as The Saint. Born in Singapore to a Chinese father, Suat Yin Chwan, and his English wife, Lydia ( Bowyer), Charteris travelled extensively with his family until beginning his education in England in 1919. In 1925 he enrolled at King's College, Cambridge, but left after a year in order to become a writer; to support himself, he worked as a goldminer, bartender, professional bridge player and temporary policeman. In October 1926 he changed his name by deed poll to Leslie Charles Bowyer Charteris-Ian, and professionally used the shorter version, Leslie Charteris.

Charteris's first novel, X Esquire, which he later described as "an appallingly bad book", was published in 1927; his second novel—The White Rider, published in 1928—is "overwritten and poorly constructed", according to his biographer Joan DelFattore. In his third novel, Meet the Tiger (1928), he introduced the character of Simon Templar, a debonair gentleman crook who goes by the , The Saint.

Charteris continued writing Saint books and the series gained in popularity because of its "mix of light humour, sophisticated settings, and story-line emphasising the role of a crusader tackling the forces of evil", which had "special appeal in the depression". Charteris moved to the United States in 1932 and soon began writing screenplays, the first of which resulted in Midnight Club, released in 1933.

Charteris also worked on three books of non-fiction and an introduction to the 1980 re-issue of The Saint Meets the Tiger. The works consisted of a translation from Spanish to English of the autobiography of the bullfighter Juan Belmonte, a language guide to Spanish, and a guide to Paleneo, a wordless, pictorial sign language invented by Charteris. He died in Windsor, Berkshire, in April 1993.

title: Liobagrus chenghaiensis

text:
Liobagrus chenghaiensis is a species of catfish in the family Amblycipitidae (the torrent catfishes) endemic to China, where it is only known from lake Chenghai in the province of Yunnan.

L. chenghaiensis is distinguished from all other species of Liobagrus with a serrated posterior margin of the pectoral-fin spine by possessing a free apex on the posterior margin of the adipose fin. It is similar to L. marginatus in the presence of a subtruncate caudal fin, by which both are distinguished from all other Chinese congeners with a serrated posterior margin of the pectoral-fin spine. These two species are distinguished by differences in the body depth and the distance between the pelvic-fin insertion and the vent. Their distinction is also supported by osteological evidence.

title: Alex Hankey

text:
Alexander Maurice Alers Hankey (born 18 August 1947), known as Alex Hankey, is a theoretical physicist trained at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Cambridge University. He was a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Deeply interested in Vedanta, Yoga, and Ayurveda, he played a vital role in setting up Maharishi University of Management and later on became a professor at it, where he taught the first undergraduate course in philosophy of science. His current work relates to applying a combination of philosophical arguments and knowledge of Vedic sciences to solve the problems within modern science, thereby refining the foundations of physics, biology, and information theory.

Education and career
Hankey was educated at Rugby School, Warwickshire, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he attained a first in Natural Sciences Tripos. Specializing in theoretical physics, he moved to MIT, to do a PhD under Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg and Eugene Stanley in the area of critical phenomena. He obtained his PhD in 1972, and thereafter he authored/co-authored many papers on the same, which now have resurfaced as applications to criticality in biosystems.

Working as an assistant professor at the Maharishi International University, Hankey developed approaches to Ayurveda, Jyotish, Samkhya, Yoga and Vedanta. He then became visiting professor at Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana, before becoming a distinguished professor in yoga and physical science there. He founded the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine and is on the editorial boards of many leading journals in the field. He has published more than 60 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and many expository articles for a general audience.

Research and outreach
Taking inputs from Vedic sciences, Hankey tries to resolve problems in theoretical physics like the nature of the Hawking-Penrose singularity, "holistic" processes in physics and biology, the interpretation of quantum theory, the origins of thermodynamics, the implications of dispersion relations and analyticity. He has developed a new complexity-based theory of cognition, and a Vedic approach to understanding quantum theory with new extensions of that theory. Due to his diverse research interests, he has been a guest speaker at many international and national conferences, and has been featured in the news several times for promoting traditional knowledge, introducing preventative health programs in developed societies, etc.,

Hankey lives in Bangalore, India, where he guides PhD research on yoga, meditation, the mind-body connection, and electronic measurement of holistic aspects of organism function.

His primary student, Dr. Ameya Krishna B, is a scientist in Nanotechnology at the MESA+ Institute of Nanotechnology in Enschede, the Netherlands, and is the co-founder of Indus Healthcare in Bangalore, India. They together represented India at the Houses of Commons in the British Parliament in June 2019 and spoke about indigenous medical sciences, integrative medicine, and Yoga. They argued that natural systems of medicine and minimal use of chemical intervention could be a sustainable means to healthier populations, reducing the burden on National Health Systems.

title: Idiotest

text:
Idiotest (a portmanteau of "idiot" and "test" and stylized with the second letter i inverted) is an American television game show broadcast by Game Show Network (GSN). Hosted by Ben Gleib, the series features contestants in teams of two competing to answer brain teaser and puzzle questions. The winning team advances to a bonus round for an opportunity to increase their winnings to $10,000. The series was announced at GSN's upfront presentation in March 2014, and the first episode premiered on August 12, 2014 of that year. On December 15, 2018, the first season became available to watch on Netflix.

Critical reception for the series has been mixed, with one writer calling it "enjoyable" while another called it "uninteresting." Additionally, GSN released an online game midway through the first season that allows users to answer questions from the series' past episodes.

Gameplay
The main game features two pairs of contestants answering brain-teaser questions taking the form of a visual puzzle. In the first round, each team faces two questions. Contestants can work together and must answer by touching the correct answer (or answers, depending on what the question is asking them) on the screen. The question is often phrased so that the contestants may be misled if they do not read it correctly (for example, "Touch the largest greenhouse" could be misread as "Touch the largest green house"). Contestants may also be required to know a lesser-known definition of a common word (for example, "Habit", referring to a religious garment instead of a pattern of behavior). The contestant may also be given words that can be easily confused with others (for example, "Bass", referring to either a fish or a guitar, the correct answer being dependent on how the host pronounces the word). The value of these questions begins at $300, with $20 deducted for every second the team takes in answering; the money begins counting down on the "money meter" when the puzzle first appears on the screen. Each contestant's money meter stops counting down when an answer is chosen on the touchscreen. For all questions, a correct answer puts the remaining money in their team's bank, while an incorrect answer or running out of time on a question (the money meter thereby reaches zero and reads "IDIOT" in big letters) wins nothing.

In round two, contestants, without the help of their partners, are given their own questions to answer. The opening value of each question is $500, decreasing by $25 each second until an answer is given.

In the third round, one contestant from each team faces the same question simultaneously. This easier question starts at $1,000 and decreases by $50 per second. The remaining contestant from each team then faces a more difficult question, with an opening value of $2,500 decreasing by $100 per second. The host usually reads the question to the contestants during this round. After this second question, the team that has more money wins the game, keeps their bank, and plays the Smart Money round for a chance to increase their winnings to $10,000. In some episodes—especially (though not exclusively) those featuring celebrities playing for charity—the losing team also receives money.

Smart Money Round
In the Smart Money round, which features the most difficult, and possibly the most extremely logical question in the program, each member of the winning team plays the same question individually. The question often requires very keen eyes and/or very literal-minded thinking to reach the answer, to an even greater degree than the previous questions. (For example, a contestant having to "touch the state that includes a six-letter state," with  the answer being Arkansas; ArKansas.)  While the first contestant is asked the question, the second is isolated offstage so that they cannot see or hear the question. The two teammates have a total of 40 seconds (that is, when the first contestant answers, the second one is only given whatever time the first one had left when they answered) to answer the same question (in seasons 1 and 2, the time limit was 30 seconds). The clock stops when the first contestant submits an answer and resumes when the second contestant first sees the question. If one team member answers the question correctly they receive an additional $1,000; if both answer correctly their winnings are augmented to $10,000.

Midway through the first season, another version of the "Smart Money Round" was introduced requiring a team to correctly answer five questions in 60 seconds, with five-second penalties for wrong answers. Each correct answer is worth $500 and stops the clock, with five correct answers winning $10,000. This version, however, was quickly sacked as contestants would panic and guess randomly, running the timer down fast; the farthest any contestant got was the third question.

Online version
An online game based on the series was developed for GSN's website midway through the show's first season. The game allows online users to answer questions seen on the actual show. Answering a certain number of questions correctly allows players to level up and face more difficult questions; a total of 34 levels are available.

Production

The show received very little advance press before it was announced at GSN's 2014–15 upfront presentation on March 18, 2014. At the presentation, GSN revealed plans to order 40 episodes of the series, while confirming August 12 as the premiere date on June 19, 2014. On October 28, 2014, the show was renewed for a 65-episode second season, which began airing April 1, 2015. The series was renewed for a 40-episode third season on March 16, 2016, with the season premiere airing on April 12, 2016. Idiotest was then renewed for a 65-episode fourth season, which premiered January 19, 2017, alongside GSN's new show, Divided.

The series has also produced some special editions featuring contestants from a preexisting rivalry. These episodes have included competitions between USC and UCLA graduates, as well as an Election Day special between pairs of Democrats and Republicans. This theme was revived with a special episode entitled Political Idiotest, which both taped and aired April 20, 2016, and featured brain teasers referring to political subjects.

Reception
The series has received mixed reviews from critics. Carrie Grosvenor of About Entertainment argued that the series is "truly enjoyable to watch" while calling Gleib's hosting "sarcastic and funny." Conversely, Tim Conroy of Media Life Magazine argued that the show "just doesn't do the trick" and thought Gleib had a difficult time "drawing amusing responses from the contestants." Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times was equally unimpressed, saying that the show had "low ambitions" and arguing that Gleib's hosting made the show "even more uninteresting." In 2016, Neal Justin of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution mentioned the series in an article analyzing the challenges of many modern knowledge-based game shows; specifically, he mentioned that the series' "optical illusions, deceptive directions and mind tricks can make even Mensa members look like, well, idiots."

Paired with the mixed critical reception, the series has seen a wide range of ratings for new episodes, bringing in between 245,000 and 561,000 total viewers during the first season. The season two double-episode premiere drew 388,000 and 360,000 viewers respectively, while the third season averaged around 400,000 viewers.

"Zum Laichen und Sterben ziehen die Lachse den Fluss hinauf" (eng: To Mate and Die the Salmons Swim Upstream) is the debut single from German singer-songwriter Thees Uhlmann released in the summer of 2011. After Uhlmann's band Tomte went on hiatus, Uhlmann began work on material, working with Tobias Kuhn on what would become his eponymous solo album.

Production and lyrics
The song was initially released on a limited edition 7" single sung in English. The song was later released in its German form as the lead single from the Thees Uhlmann album. The lyrics, written entirely by Uhlmann, describe a feeling of instability and longing, which are common themes throughout its parent record. Uhlmann was quoted in interviews as saying that he is unsure of where he considers his home to be. A native of Hemmoor, Uhlmann said that he does not consider it to be his home anymore. Regardless of this, the lyrics do describe a sense of nostalgia for his upbringing. The song is a dramatic piano and guitar-driven pop tune heavily influenced by the song of American rock-singer Bruce Springsteen. Following the song's release, Uhlmann has been referred to as the "German Springsteen" in the media, something he continues to poke fun at.

Critical reception and chart performance
Rolling Stone gave the song a positive review, stating that the song had Uhlmann's original charm and that the lyrics were those that "one couldn't imagine ever being sung." They regarded the song as one of the highlights from the album. To date, it is Uhlmann's only solo single to chart in his native Germany, peaking at No. 52 over an impressive run of seven weeks. The song was played on his tours supporting both his first and second albums. The song placed 8th in the 2011 Bundesvision Song Contest, one place below pop-band Frida Gold.

title: Richard Stuttaford

text:
Richard Stuttaford (13 June 1870 – 19 October 1945) was a South African businessman and parliamentarian.

Life and work

Stuttaford was the son of Samson Rickard Stuttaford, the founder of the Stuttafords department store chain. He was educated in England and France and joined the firm Thorne, Stuttaford & Co. in 1892, which his father co-founded with Sir William Thorne. He became the head of the company in 1917.

Stuttaford was a member of the Cape Town City Council and the Cape Town Chamber of Commerce, holding the position of the chairman of the latter from 1918 until 1920). He was the chairman of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of South Africa from 1921 until 1923.

Stuttaford was not initially interested in public affairs, but at the age of 54, he was elected to the Union Assembly as the representative from Newlands, against the Constitutional Democrat, C.A. Lagesen.  In 1929 he was elected unopposed from the same constituency and in 1933 he was again re-elected unopposed, but this time as South African Party coalition candidate from Claremont after Newlands was dissolved because of redemarcation.  In 1938 he won as a candidate of the United Party in Claremont against E.M.O. Clough from the Dominion Party.

His knowledge of commerce was useful in the Union Assembly, and Jan Smuts invited him to participate in negotiations with British commercial authorities in Ottawa. He served as a minister without portfolio from 1933 until 1936. Between 1936 and 1939 he was the minister of social welfare, and from 1939 until 1942, the minister of trade and industry in Smuts' war cabinet.

Stuttaford founded a garden village named Pinelands near Cape Town in 1920, which is now a suburb of Cape Town.

Stuttaford's Department Store, in Cape Town, was designed by the Scottish architect, Louis David Blanc (Harrod's in-house architect) in 1938.

Premiere
The movie was officially released on 1 June 2013, all over Maharashtra, India.

Production
The original short story of Mhais is based on an incident of a buffalo being knocked down by a State transport Bus, on its way to Mumbai from a village in Konkan. This results in a big show, as the real owner of the buffalo not allowing the Bus to proceed further, till police party arrives for investigation. The situation goes on to show the reactions of the stranded bus passengers and their arguments with villagers, coming in support of the owner of the buffalo.

To present this film in cinematic format, the director duo Sameer Naik & Dnyaneshwar Govekar have taken the liberties to add some more characters, which were not in the original story and hence clearly deviating from the original story. The film begins well with the three characters from a village Savarde, off Chiplun, on Mumbai Goa highway . So, we find Gaja Khot (Bhau kadam) and Sane (Pradeep Patwardhan) trying to overpower the buffalo owned by Dharma Mandavkar (Prabhakar More), which goes out of control.

In the meantime, we watch the scene at another village, where a senior citizen and well known personality from the village Bapusaheb More(Ramesh Deo) getting ready to proceed to Mumbai, to begin his indefinite fast, over his demand of reviving the Marathi schools in villages. He hires a ST Bus and looks for support from other villagers.

Taking advantage of this situation, different people from the village, take a free ride on the bus to Mumbai to attend to their personal work . So, we find a big team of characters led by Bapusaheb More, followed by chatterbox Dattu(Vaibhav Mangale), his flirt young sister Keshar ( Rupali Bhosale) and a forced character of Gampu, played by Santosh Pawar, to create a place for hero in this film. Writer Anil Pawar has thus taken unnecessary liberties to show the affair of Gampu, besides Keshar also being crazy after him. Finally, the big troupe leave by bus, till it comes to a halt, after knocking down Dharma's buffalo on the road off. Savarde.
