The end of the series was not the last appearance of The Young Ones.
For the British charity television appeal Comic Relief, the four recorded a song and video for Cliff Richard's "Living Doll", along with Richard and Shadows guitarist Hank B. Marvin. (
Alexei Sayle was not involved, but had already achieved chart success in 1984 with "'Ullo John, Gotta New Motor?".)
At the 1986 Comic Relief stage show, they performed the song live.
Mayall, Planer and Edmondson reunited in 1986 for the Elton-written Filthy Rich & Catflap.
The series had many of the same characteristics as The Young Ones as did Mayall and Edmondson's next sitcom Bottom.
Ryan, for his part, was regularly recruited to play roles on associated series (such as Happy Families, Bottom and Absolutely Fabulous).
DVD releases have been somewhat basic: only the U.S. "Every Stoopid Episode" edition featured documentaries, and no extra footage was included.
Musical references proved difficult to clear, so "The Sound of Silence" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues" were cut from the U.S. editions.
A new DVD release of all episodes ("Extra Stoopid Edition") came out in November of 2007, with new documentaries and two commentary tracks.
This edition restores "The Sound of Silence" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues," but is missing other scenes.

Napoléon III, also known as Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte (1808–1873) was the first President of the French Republic and the last monarch of France.
Made president by popular vote in 1848, Napoleon III ascended to the throne on 2 December 1852, the forty-eighth anniversary of his uncle, Napoleon I's, coronation.
He ruled as Emperor of the French until September 1870, when he was captured in the Franco-Prussian War.
Napoleon III, generally known as "Louis Napoléon" before he became emperor, was the son of Louis Bonaparte.
He married Hortense de Beauharnais, the daughter by the first marriage of Napoleon's wife Josephine de Beauharnais.
Louis-Napoléon was a second son and a replacement child.
His older brother, Napoléon Charles Bonaparte, died at age four.
During Napoleon I's reign, Louis-Napoléon's parents had been made king and queen of a French puppet state, the Kingdom of Holland.
After Napoleon I's military defeats and deposition in 1815 and the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in France, all members of the Bonaparte dynasty were forced into exile.
He was quietly exiled to the United States of America, and spent four years in New York.
He also sailed to Central America.
Then he secretly returned to France and attempted yet another coup in August 1840, sailing with some hired soldiers into Boulogne.
In 1844, his uncle Joseph died, making him the direct heir apparent to the Bonaparte claim.
Two years later, his father Louis died, making Louis-Napoléon the clear Bonapartist candidate to rule France.
Louis-Napoléon lived within the borders of the United Kingdom until the revolution of February 1848 in France deposed Louis-Philippe and established a Republic.
He was now free to return to France, which he immediately did.
In 1848, he was elected President of France in a land slide victory.
He won the election because of his popular name and French people hoped that he would return his uncle's glory.
He used his rank as stepping stone to greater power.
Finally in 1852, he crowned himself as Emperor Napoleon III and the Second French Empire was born.
In 1856, Eugenie gave birth to a legitimate son and heir, Louis Napoléon, the Prince Impérial.
On 28 April 1855 Napoleon survived an attempted assassination.
On 14 January 1858 Napoleon and his wife escaped another assassination attempt, plotted by Felice Orsini.
His foreign policy included support for Maximilian I of Mexico.
A far more dangerous threat to Napoleon, however, was looming.
France saw its dominance on the continent of Europe eroded by Prussia's crushing victory over Austria in the Austro-Prussian War in June–August 1866.
To prevent Prussia under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck becoming even more powerful, Napoleon began the Franco-Prussian War.
This war proved disastrous, and was instrumental in giving birth to the German Empire, which would take France's place as the major land power on the continent of Europe.
In the 1870 Battle of Sedan Prussian forces captured the Emperor.
The forces of the Third Republic deposed his government in Paris two days later.
Napoleon spent the last few years of his life in exile in England, with Eugenie and their only son.
The family lived at Camden Place Chislehurst (then in Kent), where he died on 9 January 1873.
He was haunted to the end by bitter regrets and by painful memories of the battle at which he lost everything.
Napoleon was originally buried at St. Mary's, the Catholic Church in Chislehurst.
However, after his son died in 1879 fighting in the British Army against the Zulus in South Africa, the bereaved Eugenie decided to build a monastery.
The building would house monks driven out of France by the anti-religious laws of the Third Republic, and would provide a suitable resting place for her husband and son.
An important legacy of Napoleon III's reign was the rebuilding of Paris under the supervision of Georges-Eugène Haussmann.
One purpose was reduce the ability of future revolutionaries to challenge the government by blocking the small, medieval streets of Paris with barricades.
However, the main reason for the complete transformation of Paris was Napoleon III's desire to modernize Paris based on what he had seen of the modernizations of London during his exile there in the 1840s.

Joseph (, Yosef; , Iosíf'') is a figure in the Gospels, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus and the step father of Jesus.
In Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Anglican Christian traditions, he is regarded as Saint Joseph.
The Gospel of Luke says that the angel Gabriel came to Mary to tell her that she would give birth to a Son and she should call him Jesus and that he would save people from their sins.
When Joseph found out that Mary was pregnant, he decided to privately break the engagement.
But then he had a dream.
An angel told him that the baby was the Son of God.
At this time, the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus, made a law that everyone in the Roman Empire must pay tax.
Joseph came from Bethlehem, which was called "The City of David".
Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem and she gave birth to the baby, Jesus, in a stable, because there was no room for them in the inn.

West Flanders (; French: (Province de) Flandre-Occidentale; German: Westflandern) is one of the five provinces of the Flemish Region, also named Flanders, and also is one of the ten provinces of Belgium.
It is the westernmost province in Flanders.
The whole Belgian North Sea coast, an important tourism destination, lies in West Flanders.
A tram line runs the length of the coast, from De Panne on the French border, via the port of Ostend (), to Knokke-Heist on the Dutch frontier.
The province of West Flanders lies in the most densely populated area of Western Europe.
It has  inhabitants, and a population density of  inhabitants per km².
It borders the North Sea, northern France, Zeeland in the Netherlands, the Flemish province of East Flanders () and the Walloon province of Hainaut () in Belgium.
West Flanders is the only Belgian province that borders both France and The Netherlands.
In terms of area, it is the largest province in the Flemish Region and the fifth largest in Belgium.
The main rivers in the province are the Leie () and Yser ().
The Yser flows into the North Sea at the town of Nieuwpoort and the Leie flows into the Scheldt river.
In the north of the province, most industry is concentrated in and around the cities of Bruges and Ostend.
Both cities also have important seaports: the port of Bruges-Zeebrugge and the port of Ostend.
The south is known for its textile industry.
Tourism is also an important industry in West Flanders.
Major touristic attractions include the Belgian coast, the historic centre of Bruges, and places where there were battles around Ypres during World War I.

Oneness Pentecostalism, also known as Apostolic Pentecostalism, is a movement of Christianity that split from the Pentecostal movement, at around 1914.
Followers believe that the Bible was inspired by God.
"Oneness" means that they believe that God is one being, not three persons (like in the Trinity doctrine), and that Jesus is God in human flesh – fully god and fully human.
This makes them different from most Unitarians who say that the son of god was only man. "
Apostolic" means that they follow the Apostolic doctrine (by the 12 Apostles in the early Church). "
Pentecostal" means that they put an emphasis on the moving of the Holy Spirit (like speaking in tongues) as was done on the Day of Pentecost.

Linux is an operating system kernel used by a group of Unix-like operating systems.
These are known as Linux operating systems.
In April 1991, Linus Torvalds, then 21 years old, started working on some simple ideas for an operating system.
Then, on 25 August 1991, Torvalds posted to comp.os.minix:
After the post, many people contributed code to the project.
By September 1991, Linux version 0.01 was released.
It had 10,239 lines of code.
In October 1991, Linux version 0.02 was released.
A newsgroup alt.os.linux was started, and on January 19, 1992, the first post to alt.os.linux was made.
On March 31, 1992, alt.os.linux became comp.os.linux.
The X Window System was soon moved to Linux.
In March 1992, Linux version 0.95 was the first to be capable of running X. This large version number jump (from 0.1x to 0.9x) was because of a feeling that a version 1.0 with no major missing parts would be released soon.
On March 14, 1994, Linux 1.0.0 was released, with 176,250 lines of code.
In March 1995, Linux 1.2.0 was released (310,950 lines of code).
Version 2 of Linux, released on June 9, 1996, was a landmark.
Strong development continued:
January 25, 1999 - Linux 2.2.0 was released (1,800,847 lines of code).
December 18, 1999 - IBM mainframe patches for 2.2.13 were published, allowing Linux to be used on enterprise-class machines.
January 4, 2001 - Linux 2.4.0 was released (3,377,902 lines of code).
December 17, 2003 - Linux 2.6.0 was released (5,929,913 lines of code).
April 16, 2008 - Linux 2.6.25 was released (9,232,484 lines of code).
May 31, 2019 - Linux 5.1.6 was released.
Legal aspects
In the start, Torvalds released Linux under a license which did not allow anyone to sell it.
This was soon changed to the GNU General Public License (GPL), during version 0.12.
This license allows distribution and sale of modified and unmodified versions of Linux but requires that all those copies be released under the same license and be accompanied by the complete corresponding source code.

Sara Evans (born February 5, 1971) is a traditional country singer born in Boonville, Missouri.
She has had several #1 hits, gold albums and platinum albums.
Music was a big part of her life when she was young.
At age 8, she was hit by a car in front of her house and broke both of her legs.
She spent months in a wheelchair and kept singing to pay her hospital bills.
At age 16, she began performing in a nightclub in Columbia, Missouri.
She did this for two years.
At age 20, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee because she wanted to be a country music singer.
She met musician Craig Schelske there.
A year later, they moved to Oregon, but when they married, they moved back to Nashville.
In 1995, Sara began recording demos.
Harland Howard was impressed by them so much he decided to help her get a contract.
This paid off when she signed with RCA Records.
Her first album under RCA was called Three Chords and the Truth, released in 1997.
People liked it for being traditional, and it was in many Top 10 lists for that year.
However, country music radio didn't like it that much.
None of the singles made the Top 40.
In 1998, Sara released her next album, No Place That Far.
People didn't like it because it was more of a pop-country sound.
The first single (Cryin' Game) didn't do anything, but the next single (No Place That Far, a duet with Vince Gill) became a #1 hit.
Because of that the album was certified gold.

Georg Cantor (3 March 1845 - 6 January 1918) was an important German mathematician.
He founded set theory and worked on transfinite numbers.
Cantor was born in St Petersburg, Russia.
His father had a Jewish-Danish, his mother an Austrian background.
His father was a Protestant.
He was a rich merchant.
His mother was a Roman Catholic.
She was very artistic.
When his father became ill in 1856 the family moved to Frankfurt.
Georg went to private schools and then to gymnasien in Darmstadt and Wiesbaden.
He soon showed that he was brilliant at maths.
His father wanted him to be an engineer but Georg persuaded him to let him study mathematics.
He spent a short time studying at the University of Zürich, but soon went to Berlin where he studied physics, philosophy and mathematics.
He was very influenced by the teaching of Weierstrass, Kummer and Kronecker, who were later to become his enemies.
He wrote a doctoral thesis in which he said that asking questions was more important than finding the answers.
He was talking about a problem that Carl Friedrich Gauss had left unanswered.
Cantor taught for a time at a girls’ school in Berlin,  then he became a lecturer in Halle where he remained for the rest of his life.
He became full professor there in 1879.
Cantor worked on the theory of numbers, continuum hypothesis and then on trigonometric series, starting with ideas that had been developed by Bernhard Riemann on complex variables.
He sent a paper on algebraic numbers to be published in Crelle's Journal, but Kronecker was against it.
However, Dedekind supported Cantor, and eventually the article was published.
This article showed that Cantor was a great mathematician.
Cantor thought that infinite numbers really existed, and used ideas from ancient and medieval philosophy to prove his point.
Kronecker disagreed with him.
He thought that only integers existed.
Kronecker said that “God made integers and all the rest is the work of man”.
Kronecker stopped Cantor from being offered a professorship in Berlin, a position he ought to have had since he was one of the greatest mathematicians in the world.
Cantor stayed at Halle and continued to work into his old age, although he often suffered from fits of depression.
He often lost his temper, but he was also a very kind man.
He always gave encouragement to young mathematicians with new ideas.
He did not want them to suffer like he had because of older mathematicians who felt threatened by new ideas.
A lot of Cantor’s work led eventually to what is called “new mathematics” in schools today.

Pay-per-view (often abbreviated PPV) is a way that people can pay to watch events on television in their homes.
The event is shown at the same time to everyone ordering it.
This is different than video on demand systems which lets people see the event at any time.
Common events include movies, sporting events, and pornographic movies.
The first major pay-per-view event was on September 16, 1981.
This event was Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns for the Welterweight Championship.
Viacom Cablevision in Nashville, Tennessee, was the first system to offer the event.
Over fifty percent of its customers paid to see the fight.
Viacom's Marketing Director, Pat Thompson, put together the fight.
He later put together other PPV fights, wrestling matches, and even a Broadway play.
After leaving Viacom, Thompson became head of Sports View.
He produced the first pay-per-view football game on October 16, 1983.
Sports View was important in creating pay-per-view networks.
It was a part of creating TigerVision for LSU, TideVision for Alabama, and UT Vol Seat for Tennessee.
Sports View also produced the Ohio State-Michigan Football game on PPV in November of 1983.
In 1985, the first U.S. cable channels to show only pay-per-view, Viewers Choice, Cable Video Store, and Request TV began operation within days of each other.
Viewers Choice was available to both home satellite dish and cable customers.
Request TV was available to only cable viewers at first.
Dish owners could not use it until the 1990s.
The term "pay-per-view" became more well known in the 1990s when companies like iN DEMAND, HBO, and Showtime started using it to show movies and other things.
In Demand would show movies, concerts, and other events at prices between $3.99 to $49.99.
HBO and Showtime would offer championship boxing, with prices between $14.99 to $54.99.
Pay-per-view is also a very important way for professional wrestling companies like World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) , Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) ,  Ring of Honor (ROH) and Asistencia Asesoría y Administración to earn money.
Early History (Americas)
The first pay-per-view system tested in the United states was the Zenith Phonevision system.
In 1949, it used telephone lines to take and receive orders.
The telephone lines were also used to descramble the signal on the television.
Tests were run for 90 days in Chicago.
In 1950, Skiatron tested its system on WOR in New York City.
The system used IBM punch cards to descramble the signal.
Both systems showed that they could be used but were not allowed to be used by the FCC.
One of the first pay-per-view systems on cable was the Optical Systems.
It was first used in 1972 in San Diego.
These early systems quickly went out of business, as the cable industry started using satellite technology.
This caused systems, for example Home Box Office, which had people pay a constant amount of money each month to became popular.
History (Europe)
History (Australia, NZ & Pacific Islands)
Pay-per-view was first used by Foxtel to home television in Australia and New Zealand in the early 2000s.
Sky Pacific in Fiji and other Pacific Island Nations started using it in 2006.

Dacca District () is a district in the centre of Bangladesh.
The district is part of the Dhaka Division, more than half of the district is made up of Dacca - the capital of the district and of Bangladesh too.
During the rule of the Mughal the district was famous for its textile products - especially the Muslin.
The Mughal governor Islam Khan was the first administrator of the city.
Khan named the town "Jahangir Nagar" (City of Jahangir) in honour of the Mughal emperor Jahangir, although this name was dropped soon after Jahangir's death.
The city grew in size quite a lot under Mughal general Shaista Khan.
The city then measured 19 by 13 kilometres (12 by 8 mi), with almost a million people.
The city then passed to the control of the British East India Company in 1765 after the Battle of Plassey.
The number of people in the city fell very much as the prominence of Kolkata rose, but development eventually followed.
A modern civic water supply system was introduced in 1874 and electricity supply launched in 1878.
The Dhaka Cantonment was established near the city, serving as a base for British and Indian soldiers.

Proprietary software (or closed source software) does not let people see or change source code of the computer software.
It is the opposite of free software.
Proprietary software is usually created by businesses who want to sell their software, but some programs that are free to use are still proprietary because the user is not allowed to change them.
With proprietary software, only the people that make the software can see and change the code.
Change the code;
Give the code to other people;
Give the changed code to other people;
Use the code on a different computer;
Most companies who sell their software for money (and even some who do not charge money for it) make it proprietary source.
This makes it harder for people to copy and change the software, or to use the source code to make similar software.
It helps prevent a user from pretending to be the author of someone else's work (a way of plagiarism).

Dhaka Division is an administrative division of Bangladesh.
The division has an area of 31,119.97 km², and a population of 38,678,000.

Kala Dhaka which also used to known as the Black Mountain of Hazara is a mountain range and a former tribal area of Mansehra District, Hazara Division, of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.
Since 2011 it is a new district of the Hazara division.
Kala Dhaka lies next to the Agror valley of Oghi area to the east and by Tanawal to the south.
The range has a length of 25 to 30 miles from north to south and a height of 8,000 feet above sea-level.
The river Indus goes through the most northern but and then moves to the south.
Between the river and the top of the range the western areas are occupied by some sections of the Yusufzai tribe.
The rest of the range is held by another indigenous aboriginal tribe, the Swatis.
The Black Mountain has long narrow ridges with higher peaks every now and again.
It also has valleys in which there are villages where the tribes live.
The upper parts of the ridge are covered with thick forests of pine, oak, sycamore, horse-chestnut, and wild cherry; but the slopes are stony and barren.
In 1851 two officers of the British Customs department in a place called Tanawal were killed.
The British believed they were killed by the Hasanzai sept of the Yusufzai tribe, so the British then sent an army led by Colonel Mackeson, which destroyed a number of tribal strongholds.
In 1868 the Yusufzai helped by the Khan of Agror, who was upset that the British had set up a police post at Oghi in the Agror valley, attacked that post with many men.
But he was forced to move back.
The Khan of Tanawal (who later became the Nawab of Amb (princely state)) who remained loyal to the British, faced attacks by tribes who didn't like the British.
Then a large number of the tribes began marching against the British, the British managed to stop them and force them back - however during the fighting twenty-one British villages had been burnt.
The British then organised an army under General Wilde  - he and his men managed to take over all of the Black Mountain and forced the tribes to accept British rule.
In 1888 the British blocked the area due to the raids by the Hasanzai and Akazai tribes who were being helped by the Madda Khel tribe into the Agror valley.
While the British were planning tougher attacks - Major Battye and Captain Urmston and some soldiers of the 5th Gurkhas were surprised and killed by the ancient Gujar tribe (who were allies of the Akazai section of the Yusufzai tribe).
Hashim Khan, who was the chief of the Hasanzai and Akazai, was blamed for starting the attack.
The British then sent an armies against the tribes in the same year (1881), the tribes had to pay a lot money to the British and also had to agree that Hashim Ali was not allowed to live there any more.
The British then made Ibrahim Khan, a relative and enemy of Hashim Khan, ruler.
Investigations also revealed that the Khan of Agror had been behind Hashim, and the tribes, inciting them to rebellion to fulfil his own designs.
As a result, the Agror Khan was arrested and imprisoned in Hasan Abdal, Punjab and his estates permanently forfeited in 1889, a limited jagir allowance given in lieu, since.
In 1890 the tribe stopped the march of British troops along the crest of the Black Mountain, and so an army was sent against them in the spring of 1891.
As soon as the troops left, some local Hindustanis and Madda Khel broke their agreement with the British Government by letting Hashim Khan return.
In 1892 the British sent their armies again to fight the tribes - this ultimately ended with the tribes being defeated by British.

With an area of , Romania is the second biggest country in southeastern Europe.
It is the twelfth-largest in Europe.
A large part of Romania's border with Serbia and Bulgaria is made by the Danube.
The Danube is joined by the Prut River.
The Prut River makes the border with the Republic of Moldova.
The Danube then flows into the area of the Black Sea inside of Romania, which forms the Danube Delta.
The Danube Delta is the second biggest one of the best kept deltas in Europe.
It is also a biosphere reserve and a biodiversity World Heritage Site.
Some of the other major rivers in Romania are the Siret, which runs from the north to the south of Moldavia; the Olt, which runs from the Carpathian Mountains to Oltenia; and the Mureş, which runs through Transylvania from the east to the west.
The land in Romania is equally divided among mountainous, hilly and lowland areas.
14 of its mountain ranges are taller than 2,000 meters.
The tallest mountain in Romania is Moldoveanu Peak ().
It travels about 1,075 kilometers, almost 40% of its length, through Romania.
Almost all of Romania's rivers are either direct or indirect tributaries of the Danube.
The most important of these rivers are the Mureş River, the Olt River, the Prut, the Siret River, the Ialomiţa River, the Someş River, and the Argeş River.
The rivers of Romania flow either north, south, east, or west away from the Carpathians.
Rain and other precipitation help add to the flow of water in each of the rivers and occasionally cause flooding.
In the east, the water from the rivers are obtained by the Siret and Prut rivers.
In the south, the rivers flow directly into the Danube.
In the west, the rivers flow into the Tisza, which is in Hungary.
The Danube is the most important river in Romania.
People use it for transportation and to make hydroelectric power from the rivers' flow of water.
Boats and other watercraft are able to travel on nearly all of the places that the Danube flows in Romania.
A problem that has occurred with using it for transportation is the fact that it is not very close by any of Romania's big industries.
Romania is in the southeastern part of Europe, where it borders the Black Sea and the Danube.
The Carpathian mountains lie in the center.

Because of how far it is from the open sea and where it is in the southwestern part of the European continent, Romania has a climate that is changes between temperate and continental climates with four different seasons.
The average yearly temperature is 11 °C in the south and 8 °C in the north.
The extreme recorded temperatures are 44.5 °C in Ion Sion 1951 and -38.5 °C in Bod 1942.
Rain, snow, and other precipitation is decent with over  per year on the highest western mountains.
Most of this falls as snow, which gives Romania good skiing.
In the south-centern parts of the country, the amount of rain and snow falls to around ,.
In the Danube Delta, not much rain falls.
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Romania was -38.5 °C, near Braşov in the year 1944.
The highest temperature ever recorded in Romania was 44.5 °C, in Braila in August 1951.

Mohenjo-daro  was one of the largest city-settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization of south Asia.
It is in province of Sindh, Pakistan.
The city was built around 2600 BC.
It was one of the early urban settlements in the world.
Mohenjo-daro existed at the same time as the civilisations of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece.
The archaeological ruins of the city are designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In Pakistan, it is one of the national icons of the distant past.
Historical context
Mohenjo-daro was built in the 26th century BC.
It was one of the largest cities of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, which developed around 3000 BC from the prehistoric Indus culture.
At its height, the Indus Civilization spanned much of what is now Pakistan and North India, extending westwards to the Iranian border, south to Gujarat in India and northwards to an outpost in Bactria.
There were major urban centers at Harappa, Mohenjo-daro, Lothal, Kalibangan, Dholavira and Rakhigarhi.
Mohenjo-daro was the most advanced city of its time, with remarkably sophisticated civil engineering and urban planning.
When the Indus civilization went into sudden decline around 1900 BC, Mohenjo-daro was abandoned.
The Dancing girl found in Mohenjo-daro is an artifact that is some 4500 years old.
The 10.8 cm long bronze statue of the dancing girl was found in 1926 from a house in Mohenjo-daro.
She was British archaeologist Mortimer Wheeler's favorite statuette, as he said in this quote from a 1973 television program:
"There is her... pouting lips and insolent look in the eyes.
She's about fifteen years old I should think, not more, but she stands there with bangles all the way up her arm and nothing else on.
A girl perfectly, for the moment, perfectly confident of herself and the world.
There's nothing like her, I think, in the world".
John Marshall, one of the excavators at Mohenjo-daro, described her as a vivid impression of the young ... girl, her hand on her hip in a half-impudent posture, and legs slightly forward as she beats time to the music with her legs and feet.
A seated male sculpture is the so-called "Priest King" (even though there is no evidence that either priests or kings ruled the city).
Archaeologists discovered the sculpture in Lower town at Mohenjo-daro in 1927.
It was found in an unusual house with ornamental brickwork and a wall niche and was lying between brick foundation walls which once held up a floor.
The ancient site at Kot Diji () was the forerunner of the Indus Civilization.
The people of this site lived about 3000 BC.
The remains consist of two parts; the citadel area on high ground, and the outer area.
Kot Diji is located about 22 kilometres south of Khairpur in the province of Sindh, Pakistan.
The site is at the foot of the hills.
There a fort (Kot Diji Fort) was built around 1790 by the Talpur ruler of Upper Sindh, Mir Suhrab, who ruled from 1783 to 1830.
This fort built on the ridge of a steep narrow hill is well preserved.
Today, Kot Diji is on the way to becoming a more developed area.
It has broadband and Wi-Fi internet connections, and all the cellular network service providers are active in the area.
Many private and government schools, teaching in English, Urdu, and Hindi, are in Kot Diji.
A new shopping centre called "Khazana" has also been built in the city.

This article is about the orchestral suite by Claude Debussy.
For other musical compositions called "Nocturne", see Nocturne.
Nocturnes is a piece of music for orchestra by the French composer Claude Debussy.
A female chorus also sings in the last movement.
Debussy finished writing "Nocturnes" on  15 December  1899.
The three movements each have a title.
I. Nuages ("Clouds")
Fêtes ("Festivals")
Sirènes ("Sirens")
A large portion of Debussy’s music, including his nocturnes, is inspired by the works of the Impressionist painters.
The word nocturne (from the Latin nocturnus) usually describes a piece that is inspired by the night.
However, Debussy's Nocturnes do not follow this patter; rather, they capture the way light is shown in Impressionist paintings.
'Fêtes' is a very lively picture of a group of people having a celebration and dancing.
A procession is heard arriving.
The music of the procession gradually gets louder,  mixes with the music of the dancing, then it gradually dies away as the procession disappears into the distance.
'Sirènes' describes the sea and the many rhythms that can be heard when we listen to it.
The moonlight shines on the sea, and the mysterious song of the Sirens is heard as they laugh.
First performances
The Lamoureux Orchestra conducted by Camille Chevillard gave the first performance of Nuages and Fêtes in Paris in 1900, and they played the first performance of all three movements the next year.
Some of the listeners found it hard to understand at first, but today "Nocturnes"  is one of Debussy’s most popular works.
