It included gopura, the main temple, its massive tower, inscriptions, frescoes and sculptures predominantly related to Shaivism, but also of Vaishnvaism and Shaktism traditions of Hinduism. The temple was damaged in its history and some artwork is now missing. Additional mandapam and monuments were added in centuries that followed. The temple now stands amidst fortified walls that were added after the 16th century.

title: Great Living Chola Temples

text: Named after the White Elephant of Indra, this temple is a testimony to the grand temple architecture of the Cholan Empire. It is the last of the three great Cholan temples built by successive generations of kings starting from Rajaraja I. Airavateswara temple was built by Rajaraja II around 1150 AD. One of the striking features of this temple is Rajagambhira Thirumandapam - Royal Courtyard, with intricately carved pillars, long steps made of granite stones and elegant chariots drawn by horse - again hewn out of stone. You will see finer workmanship in this temple than the earlier temples. Darasuram is literally a stone's throw away from Kumbakonam.

The temple was much larger and once had seven courtyards according to inscriptions.

title: Cadet Kelly

text: Cadet Kelly is a 2002 Disney Channel Original Movie starring Hilary Duff and Christy Carlson Romano. The film premiered with 7.8 million viewers. It is Duff's second starring film role, her first being "Casper Meets Wendy". This was Disney Channel's second film filmed in Canada.


title: Cadet Kelly

text: Kelly Collins (Hilary Duff), is a free-spirited high schooler whose mother marries Brigadier General Joe "Sir" Maxwell (Gary Cole). When her new stepfather becomes the Commandant of a military school, George Washington Military Academy, Kelly and her mom move upstate. Kelly has to enroll at the school, since it is the only school in the area, leaving behind her art school and her best friend Amanda (Sarah Gadon). On her first day at military school, she befriends Carla (Andrea Lewis), a girl who has been there for a long time and shows her the ropes. Kelly, at first, has trouble fitting in and obeying the orders of the officers above her, especially Cadet Captain Jennifer Stone (Christy Carlson Romano), who has a crush on Cadet Major Brad Rigby (Shawn Ashmore). Kelly feels drawn to Brad instantly, and competes with Captain Stone for his attention. Captain Stone does not treat Kelly well, verbally abusing her by calling her "maggot" and destroying her personal belongings. After taking a long time to complete the obstacle course, Captain Stone has Kelly take the course again. After getting all dirty from the course and finishing it, Kelly heads to the dance, but accidentally stumbles and ruins Captain Stone's dress at the dance, much to her anger. Her stepfather talks to Kelly in his office about the incident and what the teachers are saying about her. At home, Kelly is ready to tell her mom about her feelings and opinions of the new school, but before she could even start, her mother reveals to her that Kelly is going to have a half-sibling (implying that her mother and her stepfather are going to have a baby together). Seeing that her mom needs her support, she vows to help her stepfather learn how to take care of a child and make him "ready" to be a dad. To get back at Captain Stone for destroying one of her blankets, Kelly decides to paint Stone's hair in the middle of the night as payback, in the same pattern as a blanket that Stone ruined.


title: Cadet Kelly

text: The next day, Captain Stone gives Kelly a citation, so she is forced to appear in Cadet Court. In Cadet Court, she is found guilty of many infractions. She is sentenced by her stepfather to take care of and shine the uniforms of the drill team, which she had, earlier in the film, referred to as a team of robots. However, she gradually takes a liking to them and decides to try out for the team, seeing that they need some inspiration. With the help of another friend of hers, Gloria (Aimee Garcia), she practices enough and makes the team.


title: Cadet Kelly

text: After Kelly was following some moves that Captain Stone was practicing, Cadet Major Rigby made the suggestion that they could incorporate the moves into a routine for regionals. Kelly asks Captain Stone if they could work on a routine together for regionals, and Captain Stone agrees to discuss it with her. Kelly's team makes it to the regionals, which will be held at a different school. Kelly's dad surprises her by revealing that he will be working a job nearby, and can make it to the regionals to see her perform. The day of the competition, however, he does not show up and Kelly begins to worry. Her stepfather notices that she is distressed and asks her to explain the situation to him. Kelly tells him that she has received a phone call from her father that was cut off, which she finds strange. She refers to her cell phone as her and her father's "lifeline", and says that he would only call if it was an absolute emergency. Seeing that Kelly needs help, he excuses her from the competition and goes with her to the location her father said he would be. They find him on a cliff, as he has fallen down. Kelly doesn't want to leave him alone, so she uses her new training to rappel down the cliffside and stay by her father. Joe calls for help, and a rescue team arrives to bring him and Kelly back up. After her stepfather hugs her instead of saluting her, Kelly realizes that Joe has become more fatherly, she tells both of her dads that she is proud to be their daughter.


title: Cadet Kelly

text: Kelly runs back to the competition to find that they are down by five points. The only chance they have of winning is a special routine that Kelly and Stone had been practicing. They perform it, and receive excellent marks from the reviewing board. George Washington places second, the best they have ever done, by one point. Stone tells Kelly that if she hadn't joined the team, they never would have made it that far. Kelly, overjoyed to hear Stone praise her for once, gives her a hug, which she is surprised by, but returns anyway. Kelly vows that they will win next year as long as she and Stone keep practicing their routine, but Stone reveals that she's moving to Europe because her father, who is in the Army, has been transferred there. Stone tells Kelly that she'd like for Kelly to one day become a platoon leader and have to deal with a "maggot" just like her. The drill team then faces Joe who salutes them for a job well done and Kelly smiles and salutes him alone, which he returns.


title: Cadet Kelly

text: Primary filming for the school scenes lasted from July to September 2001, and was done at the Robert Land Academy, a military school in Canada.

Bates, drilled the actors in a "boot camp"-style situation, often testing them with rehearsals of complicated rifle and close order drill routines. The final scene was shot at the Canadian Forces Fort York Armoury in Toronto, Ontario.


title: Fear of flying

text: Fear of flying is a fear of being on an airplane, or other flying vehicle, such as a helicopter, while in flight. It is also referred to as flying anxiety, flying phobia, flight phobia, aviophobia, aerophobia, or pteromechanophobia (although aerophobia also means a fear of drafts or of fresh air).


title: Fear of flying

text: Acute anxiety caused by flying can be treated with anti-anxiety medication. The condition can be treated with exposure therapy, which works better when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy.


title: Fear of flying

text: People with fear of flying experience intense, persistent fear or anxiety when they consider flying, as well as during flying. They will avoid flying if they can, and the fear, anxiety, and avoidance cause significant distress and impair their ability to function. Take-off, bad weather, and turbulence appear to be the most anxiety provoking aspects of flying.


title: Fear of flying

text: The most extreme manifestations can include panic attacks or vomiting at the mere sight or mention of an aircraft or air travel.


title: Fear of flying

text: The causes of flight phobia and the mechanisms by which it is maintained were not well understood . It is not clear if it is really one condition; it appears to be heterogenous. It appears that some people get aerophobia from being or having claustrophobia to the small spaces inside the fuselage of the plane or helicopter.


title: Fear of flying

text: The diagnosis is clinical. It is often difficult to determine if the specific phobia of fear of flight should be the primary diagnosis, or if fear of flying is a symptom of a generalized anxiety disorder or another anxiety disorder such as agoraphobia or claustrophobia.


title: Fear of flying

text: Acute anxiety caused by flying can be treated with anti-anxiety medication. The condition can be treated with exposure therapy, including use of virtual reality equipment, which works better when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy. Relaxation techniques and education about aviation safety can also be helpful in combination with other approaches.


title: Fear of flying

text: A new and advanced treatment for aviophobia is virtual reality exposure therapy. This type of treatment uses computer technology where the patient enters a virtual reality of flying.


title: Fear of flying

text: Effective treatment for phobias such as fear of flying would be one that activates and modifies the fear structure. Activation of the fear structure can be achieved by exposing the patient to the feared stimuli, flying in this case, to elicit the fearful response. Modification of the fear structure can be achieved by the processes of habituation and extinction after eliciting the fearful response several times. A new and advanced treatment for aviophobia is virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET). This type of treatment uses computer technology where the patient virtually experiences flying. This experience includes visual, auditory, and motion stimuli to imitate flying in a plane as close as possible. Thus, VRET is considered an effective treatment for aviophobia. While it can be argued that vivo exposure treatment, patients being exposed to an aircraft, is the most effective way of treatment, but VRET is more cost-effective, accessible, less time-consuming, and requires less organization. Another advantage of VRET over vivo exposure treatment is that it focuses on the main reason that elicits fear of flying easily. For example, if the patient's most anxiety-inducing-component is takeoff, in VRET the patient would be exposed to a plane takeoff repeatedly while in vivo exposure the patient would have to wait for the plane to land and then take off again.

text: Studies of interventions like CBT have reported rates of reduction in anxiety of around 80%; however, there is little evidence that any treatment can eliminate fear of flying.


title: Fear of flying

text: Estimates for prevalence have ranged between 2.5% and 40%; estimates on the lower end are probably generated through studies where the condition is diagnosed by a professional, and the higher end probably includes people who have diagnosed themselves.


title: Fear of flying

text: Fear of flying was first discussed in the biomedical literature by a doctor in the UK at the end of World War I, who called it "aero-neurosis" and was describing pilots and crew who were or became anxious about flying. It was not much discussed until the 1950s and rise of commercial air travel and the vogue in psychoanalysis. Starting in the 1970s fear of flying was addressed through behavioral and cognitive approaches.

text: Immediately after the September 11 attacks, Americans chose to travel more by car instead of flying; because of the extra traffic, around 350 more people died in traffic accidents than would have normally occurred.


title: Fear of flying

text: A number of celebrities have suffered from a fear of flying, including former Arsenal FC and Netherlands footballer Dennis Bergkamp, famously dubbed the "non-flying Dutchman", Agnetha Fältskog, and rockstar David Bowie.


title: Fear of flying

text: , the causes of fear of flying as well as the psychological mechanisms through which it were persists had not been well researched. A few studies had looked at whether mechanisms like illusory correlation and expectancy bias were present in all or most people with fear of flying as well as other specific phobias; these studies have not led to clear outcomes.


title: Fear of flying

text: Research into the most effective ways to treat or manage fear of flying is difficult (as it is with other counselling or behavioral interventions) due to the inability to include a placebo or other control arm in such studies.

title: 10,000 metres

text: The 10,000 metres or the 10,000-metre run is a common long-distance track running event. The event is part of the athletics programme at the Olympic Games and the World Athletics Championships, and is common at championship level events. The race consists of 25 laps around an Olympic-sized track. It is less commonly held at track and field meetings, due to its duration. The 10,000-metre track race is usually distinguished from its road running counterpart, the 10K run, by its reference to the distance in metres rather than kilometres.


title: 10,000 metres

text: The 10,000 metres is the longest standard track event, approximately equivalent to or . Most of those running such races also compete in road races and cross country events.

title: Harold Lowe

text: Commander Harold Godfrey Lowe RD, RNR (21 November 1882 – 12 May 1944) was the fifth officer of the . He was amongst the 4 officers to survive the disaster


title: Harold Lowe

text: Harold Lowe was born in Llanrhos, Caernarvonshire, Wales on 21 November 1882, the fourth of eight children, born to George and Harriet Lowe. His father had ambitions for him to be apprenticed to a successful Liverpool businessman, but Harold Lowe was determined to go to sea. At 14, he ran away from his home in Barmouth where he had attended school and joined the Merchant Navy, serving along the West African Coast. Lowe started as a ship's boy aboard the Welsh coastal schooners as he worked to attain his certifications. In 1906, he passed his certification and gained his second mate's certificate, then in 1908, he attained his first mate's certificate. By the time he started with the White Star Line, in 1911, he had gained his Master's certificate and, in his own words, "experience with pretty well every ship afloat – the different classes of ships afloat – from the schooner to the square-rigged sailing vessel, and from that to steamships, and of all sizes." He served as third officer on White Star's the "Belgic" and the "Tropic" before being transferred to "Titanic" as Fifth Officer in 1912. Despite his numerous years at sea, however, the maiden voyage of the "Titanic" was to be his first transatlantic crossing.


title: Harold Lowe

text: Like the ship's other junior officers, Lowe reported to White Star's Liverpool offices at nine o'clock in the morning on 26 March 1912, and travelled to board "Titanic" at Belfast the following day. On sailing day (10 April), Lowe assisted (among other things) in the lowering of two of the starboard lifeboats to satisfy the Board of Trade that "Titanic" met safety regulations. When "Titanic" departed Southampton at noon, Lowe was on the bridge, relaying messages to various parts of the ship by telephone. He claimed he felt like an outsider while aboard the "Titanic" as he had never worked with the other officers before and they had all travelled over the Atlantic before while he hadn't.


title: Harold Lowe

text: On 14 April 1912, the night of the sinking, Lowe had been relieved at 8.00 by Sixth Officer Moody and was asleep in his quarters when the ship hit the iceberg at 11.40 . He remained asleep through the collision, but woke up 30 minutes later. As he explained later, "We officers do not have any too much sleep, and therefore when we sleep, we die." When Lowe finally awakened and realised the situation, he immediately got dressed and went to work; it isn't fully known when he got his pistol (described by Lowe as a "Browning Automatic"), it may have been as he was dressing or it may have been later during the 15 minutes his whereabouts were unknown, which may have been the time he went back to his room. Third Officer Pitman charged him with loading lifeboat No. 5. Around 1.30 , Lowe engaged in a conversation with Sixth Officer Moody: While launching lifeboats Nos. 14 and 16 on the port side of the ship, the two junior officers felt that this group of boats needed to have an officer with them. Moody insisted that Lowe should get onto lifeboat No. 14 and that he would get on another lifeboat. By the time lifeboat 14 was being launched, things were beginning to get precarious on the boat deck as the majority of passengers began to realise that the giant ship was foundering. As lifeboat 14 was descending, Lowe used his pistol to fire three shots along the side of the ship in order to frighten away a group of men attempting to leap into the lifeboat. During the Senate Inquiries, Lowe was emphatic in stating that he had not hit anyone, saying that he had looked where he was shooting. During the commotion Lowe was reported to have said ‘get back or I’ll shoot you all like dogs’ (which is said by Lightoller in the 1997 movie but whom eyewitnesses claim was Lowe). As of 2022, it remains definitively unknown who fired the shots.


title: Harold Lowe

text: After reaching the water, Lowe ordered his lifeboat to be rowed about away from "Titanic". When the ship foundered at around 2.20 , Lowe had begun to gather several lifeboats together. He wished to return to pick up survivors but had fears of being swamped by hordes of people due to the lack of experienced crewmen in the boats. He redistributed the survivors in the group of lifeboats he had gathered into a flotilla, in order to ready one lifeboat for a search for additional survivors. The lifeboat he took back to the site of the sinking had a hand-picked team of crewmen to assist in the rescue operation. They waited until the swimmers had thinned out before returning so that they would not be swamped and capsized by their numbers. It was only well-into the operation that they realised this had been unnecessary; the water being simply too cold for anyone to survive any great amount of time, let alone have the energy to swamp a lifeboat. In total there were four men taken out of the water, one of whom died later that night. Many more voices could be heard in the darkness, but locating them proved to be a largely fruitless task, despite the best efforts of the crew. Lowe's is noted as being one of only two lifeboats to return for survivors. Lowe had his crew of men raise the mast (he was the only officer to make use of the mast and sail in each lifeboat); using a breeze that had sprung up, he continued on to rescue the passengers on the sinking Collapsible A. Lowe and his group of lifeboats were picked up the next morning by the . An image taken by a passenger on the "Carpathia" clearly shows Lowe at the tiller of lifeboat 14 as they approach rescue. He remained aboard his lifeboat long enough to ship the mast and make certain everything was properly stowed.


title: Harold Lowe

text: The "Titanic" survivors arrived at Pier 54 in New York on 18 April. Immediately upon landing Lowe was served with a warrant which called upon him to testify in the American inquiry into the sinking. His testimony in the American Senate Hearing was direct, often to the point of being flippant; when asked what an iceberg was composed of, Lowe responded, "Ice, I suppose, sir." According to Titanic's Second Officer Charles Lightoller, the surviving officers considered the inquiry 'a farce' and were highly resentful owing to perceived poor treatment by the American authorities. They were especially bemused that an enquiry into the sinking of a ship was being conducted by men with no knowledge of sailing, or the sea. Lowe boarded the "Adriatic" on 2 May to return to England, where he went on to participate in the corresponding British inquiry.

text: Upon his return to his home town of Barmouth 1,300 people attended a reception held in his honor at the Picture Pavilion. He was presented with a commemorative gold watch, with the inscription "Presented to Harold Godfrey Lowe, 5th officer R.M.S. Titanic by his friends in Barmouth and elsewhere in recognition and appreciation of his gallant services at the foundering of the Titanic 15th April 1912."


title: Harold Lowe

text: In September 1913, Harold married Ellen Marion Whitehouse, and they had two children, Florence Josephine who was born in 1914 and died in 1999 and Harold William who was born while Harold was serving in World War I. He served in the Royal Naval Reserve during the First World War and saw service in Vladivostok during the Russian Revolution and Civil War, attaining the rank of Lieutenant, RNR. After the war he returned to serve with International Mercantile Marine ships and the White Star Line, retiring in 1931 to Deganwy with his family.

text: In 1979's "S. O. S. Titanic" Lowe was played by Karl Howman. Lowe was portrayed by Welsh actor Ioan Gruffudd in the 1997 blockbuster movie "Titanic". The film depicted Lowe rescuing first-class passenger Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) from the freezing ocean after she blows a whistle to get his attention. He was portrayed by Kavan Smith in the 1996 miniseries. He was played by Ifan Meredith in the 2012 TV miniseries "Titanic".


title: Harold Lowe

text: Lowe is the subject of a biography by author Inger Sheil titled "Titanic Valour: The Life of Fifth Officer Harold Lowe". In this biography, the author gathers multiple glowing references from both passengers and crew alike, many of whom credit him with having saved their lives. The author notes not just the volume of feeling shown towards Lowe by the people he helped, but also 'a surprising depth'. His strong leadership, organisational skills and encouragement was credited by numerous passengers as having been decisive in their survival; his actions on the night being described as 'exemplary'. Lowe later received multiple gifts and offers of money (which he always turned down) from grateful passengers, and would respond to such praise with the polite, but humble assertion that it was unnecessary as he had simply been doing his job. Survivor Renee Harris, writing in 1932, gave an interview in which she asserted that through all the years, Lowe had stood out in her memory as one of the finest men she had ever been privileged to meet.


title: Harold Lowe

text: A 2018 opinion piece in the "Huffington Post" titled ""Here's Why You've Never Heard of the Titanic's Chinese Survivors"", was less favourable to Lowe, who allegedly initially refused to save one man because he was a "Jap". The man, Fang Lang - who is actually supposed to have been one of the 8 Chinese on board the Titanic - was picked up from floating wreckage after passengers pressured Lowe. This oft-repeated allegation originates from a magazine article penned by 'eye-witness' "Titanic" passenger Charlotte Collyer in May 1912 and is almost certainly false. As Lowe's biographer Inger Shiel notes, Collyer was never in the rescue vessel, having been transferred to either boat 10, or 12 before it left Lowe's flotilla; a fact confirmed by several eyewitnesses, including two crew members and Collyer's own daughter. Supporting this are Collyer's further claims that the women in her lifeboat later had to row to the Carpathia once dawn arrived, which happened only to the occupants of boats 10 and 12. Rescue vessel 14 commanded by Lowe approached the "Carpathia" under sail, meaning Collyer could not have witnessed the events she described. Shiel also notes that Lowe was known to be respectful of the Chinese, and is reported to have risked his life to save a Chinese sailor from drowning during his early maritime career, diving into the water and keeping his Asian shipmate afloat, despite being on the ship's 'sick list' with blood poisoning at the time of the incident.

text: A slate plaque in Lowe's memory was hung on the centennial anniversary of "Titanic" sinking in Barmouth, Gwynedd, Wales. Memorializing Lowe's service, the plaque is inscribed in both Welsh and English, with pictures of Lowe and "Titanic". It reads: "In Commemoration of local hero 5th Officer Harold Godfrey Lowe who left Barmouth aged 14 to go to sea. He played a heroic role in the rescue of survivors during the sinking of RMS Titanic on 15 April 1912." The plaque was unveiled by his grandson, Captain John Lowe and Maddy Matthews.

The police are under immense pressure to arrest the murderer. The in-charge of the case, CI Kishore, pulls Surya into the case, arresting him by falsely accusing him of killing Rajagopal. This is after he gets a contract, worth 10 lakhs INR, which Surya actually took as a loan, for buying a house. Kishore creates and plants fake evidence. Surya is astonished as all the people, who can prove Surya's innocence, turn hostile, after being threatened by Kishore. Surya becomes an undertrial prisoner and Kishore tortures him to make him accept the crime, but Surya stands his ground. Surya's parents commit suicide, by immolating themselves, which devastates Surya. At the funeral ground of his parents, Kishore reveals to Surya that he only forced his parents to commit suicide, for not torturing Surya in jail. Surya becomes infuriated and beats up Kishore, due to which he is charged with another case. Helpless, Meenakshi leaves Surya and ends their relationship.

Chandraiah reveals that Kishore bribed two goons to kill Rajagopal, but upon pressure from the opposition party, he decided to capture them.


title: Naandhi

text: The goons learned of the truth and escaped, which caused Kishore to pull Surya into the case, using a co-incidence as evidence.

Aadhya requests the judge to give them more time and he accepts. Chandraiah is killed by Kishore, who fakes a report that he died in riots. Aadhya and Surya find out that Naagender ordered Kishore to kill Rajagopal. Before Rajagopal's death, five years ago, Naagender's land scandals was brought to light by the government. To divert the media's attention, Naagender got Rajagopal killed, because of his popularity and good image amongst the people and in the state. Aadhya and Surya nearly succeed in exposing Naagender and request permission to tap Naagender's phone calls, to prove him guilty. A night before the court appearance, Surya is kidnapped by Naagender, who blackmails Aadhya to withdraw the case, but upon being inspired by Surya, Aadhya carries on with the prosecution. Though injured, Surya successfully frees himself, defeating Naagender's henchmen. He reaches the court, where he is admitted to the hospital and is saved from his injuries.

At PSG, she was given a deeper role under Patrice Lair and played more as a midfielder than as a forward. She debuted with her new team on September 10 with a 3–0 win over Rodez. Her first goal didn't come until December 17, on matchday 12, again against Rodez.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: With PSG she played 19 of the 22 league games, 17 of them as a starter, and scored 6 goals. She was also PSG's assist leader with 7. PSG finished second in Division 1 that season, securing a spot in the 2018–19 UEFA Women's Champions League, and also won the 2017–2018 Coupe de France.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: On 10 August 2018, PSG reported a mutual termination of contract with Hermoso, as manager Olivier Echouafni said she was homesick for Spain.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: After playing only one season at Paris Saint-Germain, Hermoso returned to Spain and re-joined Atlético Madrid on 10 August 2018. In her one season back, she was a key player in Atlético winning their third consecutive league title. At the end of the season, Hermoso scored 24 goals with Atletico to earn her first Pichichi title with the club and her third such title overall. In the 2018–19 Copa de la Reina, she was runner-up when Atlético lost to Real Sociedad 2–1 in the final.

title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: On 16 May, Hermoso started the first Champions League final of her career against Chelsea. In the thirteenth minute, Melanie Leupolz made contact with Hermoso in the penalty area. Barcelona were awarded the penalty, which Alexia Putellas scored to give Barcelona a 2–0 lead. Barcelona went on to score 2 more within the next 20 minutes, and they won the final 4–0. Hermoso ended her season as the top scorer in that season's UEFA Women's Champions League, tied with Fran Kirby with six. She was the first Spanish player and the first player from the Spanish league to do so. She was also given a place in that season's UEFA Women's Champions League Squad of the Season, her 2nd such appearance. Later in the year, Hermoso won the UEFA Women's Champions League Forwards of the Season award.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: Throughout the 2020–21 season, Hermoso went back and forth as the league's top scorer with Levante's Esther González.

title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: In September 2011, Hermoso earned her first official call-up for the Spanish national team.

title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: In June 2013, national team coach Ignacio Quereda confirmed Hermoso as a member of his 23-player squad for the UEFA Women's Euro 2013 finals in Sweden. Hermoso scored her first competitive goal with Spain in their first match of the tournament, which was nearly the match-winner against England in the 85th minute to put Spain 2–1 up. England equalized not soon after but Spain scored the winner in added time to end the match 3–2, and Hermoso was awarded Player of the Match. Spain finished second in their group behind France.

At the end of the qualifying phase, Spain finished with 9 wins and a draw, qualifying for their first ever Women's World Cup tournament. In May 2015, Hermoso was called up for the tournament. Hermoso played in Spain's debut World Cup match, in which Spain tied 1–1 against Costa Rica. Hermoso did not play the other two matches of the group stage, in which Spain lost and did not qualify for the next round, a disappointing outcome that was criticized by the Spanish press. After the poor results in the World Cup, the 23 players in Spain's squad demanded the resignation of Ignacio Quereda with a collective statement. The players expressed their dissatisfaction with the poor planning of the national team in the trip to Canada, the methodology used with the group, the lack of friendly matches leading up to the tournament, and scarce analysis of the team's rivals by the coach himself. Spain's players refused to play with the national team again if Quereda did not leave, which finally happened on July 30.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: Hermoso became a regular starter under Spain's new coach, Jorge Vilda, who advanced her position to striker.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: Spain went on an undefeated run in qualification for the 2017 European Championship in the Netherlands. Spain also played in the Algarve Cup in March 2017, a friendly tournament in preparation for the European Championship. Hermoso scored against Norway and won in the final against Canada.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: On June 20, 2017, Hermoso was called up by Jorge Vilda to play her second Euro tournament. She started all three group stage games and Spain finished second in the group tied on points with Portugal and Scotland. They just barely managed to reach the quarterfinals with a better goal difference and faced Austria in the quarterfinals. The match went to penalties and Austria won the penalty shoot-out.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: In qualifying for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France, Hermoso directly contributed to goals in each of Spain's matches, accumulating 7 goals and 9 assists. In the second match of qualifiers against Serbia, she made her 50th appearance for the national team. Spain completed the qualifying phase as group winners, winning all matches. In the middle of the qualifying phase, Hermoso played the 2018 Cyprus Women's Cup, in which Spain was champion.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: Hermoso was named part of Spain's squad at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France. She scored twice in the opening game of their campaign against South Africa, with both goals coming from the penalty spot. She was named player of the match as Spain recorded their first ever win in a Women's World Cup tournament.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: Spain advanced to the Round of 16 for the first time in a World Cup tournament, and played against the United States. The USA scored within 7 minutes, but Hermoso brought a goal back two minutes later. She scored from outside the box off of a Lucía García assist, who took advantage of a giveaway from USA defender Becky Sauerbrunn. Spain ended up losing the match to the eventual tournament champions after a controversial VAR-awarded penalty, which Hermoso said after the match that she "would not have called".


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: On 14 February 2021, Hermoso scored 5 goals in a match against Azerbaijan. Of those five goals was her 41st goal with the Spanish national team, surpassing Veronica Boquete as the team's all-time highest goalscorer. Hermoso ended the qualifying round of the 2022 Euro tournament with 10 goals, the most in Group D.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: In the beginnings of Hermoso's career, she played deeper than her current position as a forward, and was positioned as either a center midfielder or attacking midfielder. In 2015, under the instruction of Xavi Llorens and Jorge Vilda, Hermoso took up a more offensive role as a center-forward or false 9, which she still plays today. This change allowed her to shift her game from giving assists and creating chances to becoming a prolific goalscorer. As a false 9, Hermoso is at her most productive as a forward when she is given the opportunity to play deeper and roam freely between opposing lines. She regularly switches between her position in the center and either position on the wings, both creating and finding space. Hermoso's free-roaming positional play is key to Barcelona's tactical setup, for it allows her space to receive the ball and create chances. Aside from being their top goalscorer, she has been one of Barcelona's biggest contributors to the team's attack during her two separate stints at the club. With Spain, she has a slightly different tactical role that requires a more intense press and more positional discipline.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: Physically, Hermoso is known for her comparatively tall stature of 1.75m (5 ft. 9 in.), which aids in her ability to head in goals and makes her a threat on set pieces. As she is not particularly pacey, she excels when given the opportunity to play slower, possession-based football. She is left footed, but is capable of scoring with either foot. Hermoso is also keen on scoring goals from outside the box.


title: Jennifer Hermoso

text: Patrice Lair, PSG's former manager, defined her as "a very technical and athletic left-footed player. She will be complementary to our attack and she can also play in the midfielder position. We need scorers who can score a lot and this is precisely her profile."


title: Stefan Kapičić

text: Stefan Kapičić (; born 1 December 1978) is a Serbian actor best known for his role of Colossus in "Deadpool" (2016) and "Deadpool 2" (2018). He is also one of three members of the Council for Film Industry of Montenegro.


title: Stefan Kapičić

text: Kapičić was born 1 December 1978 in Cologne, West Germany, the son of Slobodanka "Beba" Žugić, a Montenegrin actress, and Dragan Kapičić, a retired Serbian basketball player. His father played for Saturn Köln during that time. At three years of age the family returned to SFR Yugoslavia. His grandfather bought him his first comic book when he was six years old, which sparked what he called an "ongoing love" in a 2015 interview about his role in "Deadpool". He studied acting at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts in Belgrade. He speaks Serbian, English, German and Russian.


title: Stefan Kapičić

text: Kapičić played the role of his own father in the 2015 film "Bićemo prvaci sveta" ("We Will Be the World Champions") about the Yugoslavian national basketball team which won the 1970 FIBA World Championship.


title: Stefan Kapičić

text: By 2015, Kapičić had accumulated more than 80 roles in television, film, and theater. He made it to the second round of a secret casting process for the X-Man Colossus in the superhero film "Deadpool", learning what the production was only after he passed that round. Working with first-time director Tim Miller in Los Angeles, Kapičić did 120 takes during his third call of auditions, stretching the session an additional eight hours beyond its intended four-hour duration, before flying back to Dubrovnik, Croatia to perform "Romeo and Juliet". Kapičić, a self-described "comic book geek" who considered Deadpool one of his favorite characters, was especially delighted when he learned he won the role, taking over from Daniel Cudmore, who had played the role in the "X-Men" films. Kapičić was selected because Miller wanted his version of Colossus, who is Russian in the comics, to have a Russian accent. The 6-foot-4 Kapičić portrayed the 7-and-a-half-foot tall character through a combination of voice work and motion capture, completing filming in mid-December 2015, eight weeks before the film's February 12, 2016 release date.


title: Stefan Kapičić

text: In December 2015, Kapičić became engaged to Croatian actress Ivana Horvat. They were married in 2017.

text: Kingslee James McLean Daley (born 1 December 1983), better known by his stage name Akala, is a British rapper, journalist, author, activist and poet from Kentish Town, London. In 2006, he was voted the Best Hip Hop Act at the MOBO Awards and has been included on the annual "Powerlist" of the 100 most influential Black British people in the UK, most recently making the 2021 edition.


title: Akala (rapper)

text: Daley was born in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1983 to a Scottish mother and Jamaican father who separated before he was born, and grew up with his mother in Kentish Town, north London. He has recalled the day he realised that his mother was white, and was embarrassed by her whiteness. His mother had educated him about black history and introduced him to radical black thinkers, yet there would always remain a racial dimension to those relationships. Daley's older sister is rapper Ms. Dynamite.


title: Akala (rapper)

text: His stepfather was a stage manager at the Hackney Empire theatre, and he often visited it before his teens. His mother enrolled him in a pan-African Saturday school, about which he states "I benefited massively from a specifically black community-led self-education tradition that we don't talk about very much because it doesn't fit with the image [of black families]". When accepting honorary degrees, he has said he "would like to thank the entire Caribbean pan-African community that helped me through school and encouraged an intellectual curiosity and self development from a very young age."


title: Akala (rapper)

text: At age six, Daley's state primary school put him in a special needs group for pupils with learning difficulties and English as a second language. He attended Acland Burghley School for secondary education. Daley saw a friend attacked with a meat cleaver to the skull when he was 12, and carried a knife himself for a period. He went on to achieve ten GCSEs and took maths a year early. He has said he "was in the top 1 per cent of GCSEs in the country. [He] got 100 per cent in [his] English exam." As a teenager, Daley focused on football, being on the schoolboy books of both West Ham United and AFC Wimbledon, and dropped out of college. He is a fan of Arsenal. Daley did not attend university, but has said he often envies those who do.


title: Akala (rapper)

text: Daley has two honorary degrees in recognition of his educational work. On 23 June 2018, he received an honorary doctorate from Oxford Brookes University as a Doctor of Art. On 31 July 2018, he also received an honorary degree from Brighton University.

title: Akala (rapper)

text: In 2007, Daley released his second album, "Freedom Lasso", containing the "Comedy Tragedy History" track. The song "Love in my Eyes" heavily sampled Siouxsie and the Banshees' song "Love in a void" with the voice of Siouxsie Sioux. In 2008, "The War Mixtape Vol. 2" was released, along with an EP of acoustic remixes.


title: Akala (rapper)

text: Daley's third studio album, "DoubleThink", was released in 2010, and holds a strong theme of George Orwell's popular novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four". "DoubleThink" contains tracks such as "Find No Enemy" and "Yours and My Children" detailing some of the sights he saw on his trip to Brazil. In November 2010, Daley headlined a live performance at the British Library, to launch the "Evolving English" exhibition and featured performances by British poet Zena Edwards, comedian Doc Brown and British rapper Lowkey which also included Daley taking part in a hip hop panel discussion alongside Saul Williams, U.S professor MK Asante and Lowkey. Daley appeared on Charlie Sloth's show on Radio 1Xtra on 18 July 2011, performing "Fire in the Booth", and after the great reception it received he returned again in May 2012 and provided "Part 2".


title: Akala (rapper)

text: In May 2012, Daley released a two-part mixtape, "Knowledge Is Power", containing "Fire in the Booth", and followed the release with a promotional tour in the autumn of 2012.

In August 2012, he performed at the Outlook Festival and in November 2012, he performed at the second edition of NH7 Weekender music festival in Pune, India.


title: Akala (rapper)

text: In May 2018, Daley published "Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire". The book is part biography, and part polemic on race and class. The overall ideological framework of the book is a pragmatic, socialist-oriented Pan-Africanism that claims to seek the liberation of all humanity from oppression and exploitation. At the same time, Daley highlights what he believes are shared problems faced by African communities worldwide in what he describes as a global system of imperialism.


title: Akala (rapper)

text: Daley attributes his escape from poverty not to personal exceptionalism but to the vagaries and chaotic injustice of race, class and privilege. Daley asserts that Britain is not a meritocracy where the barriers of race and class can be simply overcome through hard work and perseverance. He explains his success as the absurd and unexpected consequence of an unequal system that allows the rise of a few while leaving behind the many, no matter how brilliant they are. He claims several times in the book that some of his friends could have been academics or scientists if the obstacles of what he terms 'structural racism' and 'class oppression' had not been there.


title: Akala (rapper)

text: Akala has published a graphic novel/comic book called Visions. Akala's own comic deals with his interests, and references.
