A Passage to India is a stage play written by Indian-American playwright Santha Rama Rau (1923–2009), based on E.M. Forster's 1924 novel of the same name.

Synopsis
The play begins with two English women, Mrs. Moore and Adela Quested. They travel to 1920s India, where Mrs. Moore's son, Ronny, is working. Ronny is supposed to be engaged to Adela. The women hope to experience India while they are there. Adela and Ronny are unsure if they are meant to be together. While on a hike led by Dr. Aziz, Adela is attacked in the Marabar Caves. She assumes it was Dr. Aziz, but later while testifying in court, which becomes a media sensation, she realizes Dr. Aziz is not the person who attacked her. Dr. Aziz brings up the racial tensions he feels between the English and the Indians.

Historical casting

Background
In the early 1950s, the play's creator, Santha Rama Rau, had dinner one evening with producer Cheryl Crawford. Crawford remarked to Rau that there had never been a distinguished play on Broadway before that dealt with India. This conversation brought up the E.M. Forster novel that was first published in 1924, titled A Passage to India. Rau mentioned to Crawford the possibility of her adapting the novel for the stage. In 1957, Rau met with Forster and presented him with a copy of her working script. Forster gave his blessing for her to move forward with the production and gave her several suggestions for changes in the script.

Production history
The play was first staged by the Oxford Playhouse in January 1960. The play then went on a short tour with the same cast, before transferring to the Comedy Theatre on London's West End in April 1960. Forster attended the West End production and was pleased with it. He died in 1970.

The play next transferred to the Broadway stage, with a slightly different cast. The production opened in January 1962 and played for 109 performances, closing in May. The play received two Tony Award nominations, one for Best Lead Actress for Gladys Cooper, and one for Best Scene Design.

Director David Lean saw the play and was interested in making a film in the 1960s, but Forster refused to allow it to be made. Instead, he allowed a television production. This version, directed by Waris Hussein and adapted from the stage version, was transmitted on November 16, 1965 on BBC 1, as a part of the series Play of the Month.

In 1981, David Lean gained the rights to make a feature film based on the play. Filmed in 1983, and released in 1984, from a script almost entirely rewritten by Lean, the film received a largely positive reception from critics. The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won two. Peggy Ashcroft won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Mrs Moore, and Judy Davis was nominated for Lead Actress. The film also won for Best Original Score.

Weymouth Beach is a gently curving arc of sand in Weymouth Bay, beside the town of Weymouth in Dorset, England.  Immediately adjacent to the beach is The Esplanade.

The beach is a popular destination for beachgoing and was frequented by King George III for sea bathing during times of illness. The king named Weymouth his 'first resort' and made bathing fashionable there.  George III was advised to take the waters after his first bout of porphyria.

Weymouth Beach is very wide and gently sloping, with golden sand and shallow waters normally with small waves.  In addition to bathing, the expansive beach is used for beach motocross and volleyball.

The beach has the traditional attractions of an English seaside resort, including (during the summer season)  donkey rides, Punch and Judy, sand sculptures, trampolines, a small funfair for children, and pedalo hire.

At the southern end is Weymouth Pier, including the Pavilion Theatre and Weymouth Sea Life Tower. At the northeastern end is the suburb of Greenhill, with Furzy Cliff and Bowleaze Cove beyond that.

The beach was voted Number 1 in The Times and Sunday Times Best UK Beaches 2023.

Regional elections were held on 1 September 2018, with a second round on 15 September 2018, to elect the 37 members of the newly-formed Regional Council of Nouakchott, created after the 2017 Mauritanian constitutional referendum in replacement of the Senate and the Urban Community of Nouakchott. They were part of the 2018 Mauritanian regional elections.

Ex-mayor of Tevragh-Zeina Fatimetou Mint Abdel Malick, running for the ruling party Union for the Republic won a narrow majority on the second round against Mohamed Jamil Ould Mansour, the opposition-backed candidate and previous leader of the Islamist Tewassoul party.

Background
Mint Abdel Malick was first presented as candidate of the Union for the Republic on 8 July 2018 together with the rest of candidates to head the regional councils of the country.

Election system
Regional councils in Mauritania are elected using the proportional representation system of the largest remainder method with two rounds. In the first round, voters choose from one of several lists running. If one list obtains an absolute majority of votes, the council seats would be then distributed proportionally. If not, a second round must be held between the two largest lists. The president of the Regional Council is elected by the Regional Council from one of their members.

Olenya (also Olenegorsk) has been a major Russian Navy reconnaissance base, located on the Kola Peninsula 92 km south of Murmansk. As of 2020, units at the base are subordinate to the Long-Range Aviation branch of the Russian Aerospace Forces. The base and its staff settlement (Vysoky, Murmansk Oblast), across Lake Permusozero from the city of Olenegorsk, are served by the Olenegorsk rail station (formerly Olenya station). Olenya has served as the headquarters for 5 MRAD (Naval Reconnaissance Air Division), and has hosted two reconnaissance regiments. Its 3500-meter runway is the longest on the Kola Peninsula, making it a key facility for intercontinental flights across the North Atlantic basin.

The base is home to the 40th Composite Aviation Regiment as part of the 22nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Division.

Olenya was first detected by US intelligence in 1957, and was listed as having a runway length of 3350 m (11,000 ft). The base served as a forward deployment field for Long Range Aviation and was one of nine Arctic staging facilities for nuclear strikes on the United States. An analysis in 1966 revealed 21 Tupolev Tu-16 Badger aircraft. Near the airfield is the Olenegorsk Radar Station ballistic missile early warning site, which entered service in 1971. A number of surface-to-air missile sites were operational near Olenya during the Cold War.  During the 1960s and 1970s, Olenya was used as a refueling stop on the Moscow to Havana Tupolev Tu-114 route.

As of 2006, Google Earth imagery showed nearly 40 Tupolev Tu-22M bombers on the airfield, but by 2018 only four of the aircraft appeared serviceable with another 27 aircraft awaiting disposal.

On 7 October 2022, satellite photos showed 7 Tu-160 and 4 Tu-95 at the air base.

Stationed units
Units stationed at the airfield since the 1990s include:
 924 MRAP (924th Naval Reconnaissance Air Regiment), operating Tupolev Tu-22M aircraft
 967 ODRAP (967th Long Range Air Reconnaissance Regiment), operating Tupolev Tu-22M aircraft
 88 OMAPIB (88th Separate Fighter Bomber Regiment), operating Mikoyan MiG-27 aircraft (likely retired)
 OGA (Arctic Control Group), maintaining standby facilities for Tupolev Tu-95 bomber aircraft
 458th IAP, Mikoyan MiG-31BM
In 2020, the Tu-22M3-based unit may now be the 40th Mixed Aviation Regiment operating in both  a maritime-attack and land-strike role.

Notable events
After a training flight on 22 January 2019, a Tu-22M3 broke up upon making a hard landing in inclement weather at the airbase. Two of the four crew members died in the crash, and a third died on his way to the hospital.

According to TASS, the first test launch of the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal ("dagger", a nuclear-capable air-launched ballistic missile) in the Arctic took place mid-November 2019 from the airbase. Reportedly, the launch was carried out by a MiG-31K, where the missile hit a ground target at Pemboy proving ground, reaching a speed of Mach 10.

Mantšonyane is a town in central Lesotho. It is located southeast of the capital Maseru, close to the western approach to the Mokhoabong Pass, on a high mountain plateau between the towns of Marakabei and Thaba-Tseka, in the Thaba-Tseka District.

Located on the central mountain plateau of Lesotho, Mantšonyane is difficult to reach by ground transport. In the official biography of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who was the Bishop of Lesotho in the late 1970s, the difficulty of travel around the mountainous central region of Lesotho is illustrated by a detailed account of the Bishop's journey from his official residence in Maseru to St James's Hospital in Mantšonyane.

St James' Hospital and regional health care
In 1963 the Anglican Church opened, through its USPG mission agency, a mission hospital in Mantšonyane. St James' Hospital has grown significantly and is now a major feature of the community. In addition to providing full hospital facilities (with 60 beds) to local residents, the hospital also operates a number of satellite health care facilities in the surrounding region, including six health centres, one health clinic, and two rural village health posts.

For many years resident doctors and matrons were provided through the Anglican Diocese of Lesotho and through USPG. The hospital buildings were largely constructed and staffed through USPG fundraising. Today USPG remains a mission partner, although the mission agency contributes chiefly through its hospital based "USPG connect project" for mothers and babies. Lesotho has a very high infant mortality rate. The hospital was connected to electricity for the first time in 1986, and to the landline telephone network in 2000.

Community facilities
The Anglican Diocese of Lesotho constructed and runs the parish church of St James and also St James' primary school. Both are located adjacent to St James' Mission Hospital. There is a local police station of the Lesotho Mounted Police Service. Mantšonyane Airport has a 2,300 foot paved runway.

Notable residents
Sam Matekane, a businessman and politician who is currently serving as prime minister of Lesotho, was born in the town in 1958.
