Relationship of the Cholas with the Chinese
The Cholas are one of the three major Tamil kingdoms that ruled over the ancient Tamilakam region of India.

The first records of a relationship between the Chinese and Cholas dates back to second century BC. As per Ban Gu's work Book of Han (Ch'ien Han Shu), a Chinese ambassador was sent to the Chola Empire. He has also mentioned that he had seen many unprecedented objects which are unseen at China, at the city of kuvangtche. Berend, an acoustics expert, annotates that the city named by Ban Gu is analogous with the acity of Kanchi. During the reign of the later Cholas such as Rajendra Chola I (1016–1033 CE) and Kulothunga Chola I (in 1077 CE), commercial and political diplomats were sent to China.

Chinese coins have been found during excavations in parts of central Tamil Nadu such as Olayakkunnam and Thaalikkottai, which were part of the earlier Chola Empire.

Ban Gu
Ban Gu  (AD 32–92) was a Chinese historian, poet, and politician best known for his part in compiling the Book of Han, the second of China's 24 dynastic histories. He also wrote a number of fu, a major literary form, part prose and part poetry, which is particularly associated with the Han era.  A number of Ban's fu were collected by Xiao Tong in the Wen Xuan.

Baguley tram stop

Tram stop
A tram stop, tram station, streetcar stop, or light rail station is a place designated for a tram, streetcar, or light rail vehicle to stop so passengers can board or alight it. Generally, tram stops share most characteristics of bus stops, but because trams operate on rails, they often include railway platforms, especially if stepless entries are provided for accessibility. However, trams may also be used with bus stop type flags and with mid-street pavements as platforms, in street running mode.
John Dunning Best First Feature Award
The John Dunning Best First Feature Award is a special Canadian film award, presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television to the year's best feature film by a first-time film director. Under the earlier names Claude Jutra Award and Canadian Screen Award for Best First Feature, the award has been presented since the 14th Genie Awards in 1993.

Formerly a juried prize whose winner was announced in advance of the ceremony, the award is now presented as a conventional category with a full shortlist of nominees.

To date six films, The Confessional (Le Confessionnal), Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, Away from Her, A Colony (Une colonie), Beans and Scarborough, have won both the Best First Feature and Best Picture awards in the same year; the directors of Le Confessionnal, Atanarjuat, Away from Her and Scarborough also won the award for Best Director for the same films.

Juried competition

Ransom Sherman
Ransom M. Sherman (October 15, 1898 - November 26, 1985) was an American actor, radio and television personality and writer. He was an actor, known for the films Are You with It? (1948) and Winter Meeting (1948) and the television series Father of the Bride (1961–1962). He died on 26 November 1985 in Henderson, Nevada, in the United States.

Early years ==
Sherman and his family moved from Appleton, Wisconsin, to Chicago when he was 14. He attended a technical school in Chicago, but singing began to interest him more than the school's offerings. That pleased his parents, both of whom were musicians — his father a violinist and his mother a pianist. He sang in an amateur production of The Mikado, but when he was in college he played double bass in the orchestra. He attended Michigan, Northwestern, and Ripon for his college studies but never graduated.

Mikado (game)
Mikado is a pick-up sticks game of European origin, played with a set of same-length sticks which can measure between 17 and 20 cm (6.7 and 7.9 in). One of the oldest preserved sets of Mikado game sticks dates back to the 17th century. The game's origins are likely Eastern, as evidenced by the existence of preserved game sets from that region.

In Colonial America, the game was first called Jackstraws, and later named in the US as pick-up sticks. This term is not very specific in respect to existing stick game variations. The "Mikado" name may have been avoided because it was a brand name of a game producer. The game is named for the highest scoring (blue) stick "Mikado" (Emperor of Japan).

A parable is a type of metaphorical analogy.

Some scholars of the canonical gospels and the New Testament apply the term "parable" only to the parables of Jesus, although that is not a common restriction of the term.

Solar eclipse of October 25, 2041
An annular solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Thursday, October 24 and Friday, October 25, 2041, with a magnitude of 0.9467. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is smaller than the Sun's, blocking most of the Sun's light and causing the Sun to look like an annulus (ring). An annular eclipse appears as a partial eclipse over a region of the Earth thousands of kilometres wide. Occurring about 4.3 days after apogee (on October 20, 2041, at 17:10 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter will be smaller.

The path of annularity will be visible from parts of Mongolia, northeastern China, North Korea, Japan, the Marshall Islands, and Kiribati. A partial solar eclipse will be visible for parts of East Asia, Southeast Asia, northeastern Australia, Oceania, and Hawaii.

Magnitude of eclipse
The magnitude of eclipse is the fraction of the angular diameter of a celestial body being eclipsed. This applies to all celestial eclipses. The magnitude of a partial or annular solar eclipse is always between 0.0 and 1.0, while the magnitude of a total solar eclipse is always greater than or equal to 1.0, and has a theoretically maximum value of around 1.12.

This measure is strictly a ratio of diameters and should not be confused with the covered fraction of the apparent area (disk) of the eclipsed body. Neither should it be confused with the astronomical magnitude scale of apparent brightness.

Charismatic Episcopal Church bishops
The International Communion of the Charismatic Episcopal Church (also known as the ICCEC) is an international Christian communion established as an Autocephalous Patriarchate in 1992 with over 1,000 churches worldwide.

On 26 June 1992, Austin Randolph Adler was consecrated the first bishop and primate of the CEC with Timothy Michael Barker of the International Free Catholic Communion (who was consecrated by Archbishop-Patriarch Herman Adrian Spruit) functioning as the principal consecrator. In 1997, the Charismatic Episcopal Church sought and acquired reconsecration and reordination of all of its clergy by the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church, thus strengthening their lines of apostolic succession.

Carlos Duarte Costa
Carlos Duarte Costa (July 21, 1888 – March 26, 1961) was a Brazilian bishop who became the founder of the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church, an Independent Catholic church, and its international communion, which long after his death became the short-lived Worldwide Communion of Catholic Apostolic Churches.

The former Catholic Bishop of Botucatu, he was excommunicated by Pope Pius XII, ultimately for schism, but in culmination of several doctrinal and canonical issues (such as his views on clerical celibacy). Duarte Costa has been canonized as "St. Carlos of Brazil" by the Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church.
