History.

Early people.

The indigenous people of the area were the Wenatchi people, who were sustained by abundant game and anadromous fish. The Wenatchee River, which runs through Cashmere, was historically home to coho, chinook, and sockeye salmon, as well as steelhead. These wild stocks have been severely impacted by the dams on the Columbia River, although several runs still exist. The Wenatchi people were displaced to the Colville Indian Reservation by the federal government, but still claim some fishing rights in the area.

First Europeans and settlement.

The first European to enter the Mission Valley was Catholic missionary Father Respari, of the Oblate Fathers, in the 1850s. He lived among the Wenatchi people for twenty years teaching them his religion. He was succeeded in the 1870s by Jesuit missionary Father Urban Grassi who built the St. Francis Xavier Mission in 1873. After the missionaries' departure, the valley was next settled in the 1880s by ranchers and squatters. There were enough settlers in the area to necessitate the construction of a one-room schoolhouse in 1886. This sparse settlement was later known as Old Mission, after the Catholic missions of past. No true town existed until George Kline opened the first store further down the valley in 1888 to serve the burgeoning ranch population. A post office was soon established and Kline was appointed postmaster. The town was named "Mission" after the early missionaries.

Railroad and irrigation.

In 1892, it was revealed that the Great Northern Railroad would be building its main line through the valley and Mission was platted between the right-of-way and the Wenatchee River in hopes of receiving a station stop on the new line. It did not receive a station at that time and no boom occurred when the railroad came. Not until 1900 did Cashmere become a flag stop and a small section house was built, manned by two employees. This small building was preserved and today exists on the property of the Cashmere Museum and Pioneer Village.  The prosperity the railroads brought revived local interest to irrigate the arid valley. In 1892, a stock company was formed with a capital stock of $5000. Local men took out mile contracts to help dig the ditch. At a great personal expense to many involved, the Peshastin Ditch was completed within twelve years. Following its activation, the town as well as the entire area, blossomed. Through the 1900s, Mission grew in earnest. The town was becoming a shipping point for the growing fruit and agricultural industry in the valley. Within several years, better rail passenger service was demanded by citizens and a new, larger depot was built in 1903 and is also still standing in its original place.

Renaming of Mission through 1920.

By 1903 the town's population had reached over 200. Citing confusion of this town, with another in northern Okanogan County (that no longer exists), that same year, Mission and the entire valley were renamed for Kashmir, as local judge James H. Chase claimed it resembled the foothills of that region. The spelling was changed to a more Americanized "Cashmere". Cashmere was incorporated in 1904 and continued to prosper with the opening of the Mission Canal later that year which turned hundreds of acres of dry-unusable land into fertile farm land. Seattle investors purchased large tracts of land in and around Cashmere and constructed the town's first hotel and saloon in 1905. A library was established in 1908 by the town's Woman's club. By 1909, Cashmere housed three banks. Telephone service was installed in 1909 followed by paved sidewalks in 1913, electric lights in 1914 and paved streets in 1919.

1920s-1930s.

The Cashmere chapter of the Ku Klux Klan was organized in August 1922. Nearly 400 people attended a 1924 meeting at the Cashmere Methodist Episcopal Church. A Cashmere band performed in a parade for the 1926 state convention in Wenatchee.  In August 1931, a pow wow took place over the course of three days to call attention to the unfulfilled treaty agreements to the Wenatchi people, including the Wenatchupam Fishery, and boost the Cashmere economy. The encampment was composed of tipis on the land of Mary Felix, one of the few Wenatchi people remaining, in Yaksum canyon. It was estimated that nearly 700 Native Americans attended, including 250 Wenatchi who traveled from Colville and Yakama reservations. Notable guests included leaders from other tribes and Governor Roland H. Hartley. Proceeds went to restore the cemetery on the other side of Highway 2.

Industries and agriculture.

The Cashmere area has a rich history of tree fruit production, starting with the first pioneers. With the construction of the Peshastin irrigation ditch in the 1890s, ranches and sagebrush gave away to lush orchards climbing up the walls of the valley. While apples grow very well, the soils and climate are ideal for the production of pears. Bartlett and D'Anjou varieties are well represented. It is said that Cashmere might be the best place to grow pears in the US. Beginning in the 1910s, a number of orchards were opened in Cashmere to take advantage of the area's balmy climate. While many orchards have given way to development, the history of fruit production is still evident in the many orchards and historical fruit warehouses in the area. Overdevelopment is a real threat to the agricultural heritage of the area; the agreeable climate and outstanding scenery attract many people to the area.  The history of the area is also tied to timber production. Cashmere was the home of a large sawmill. The first settlers found abundant ponderosa pine ("Pinus ponderosa") and Douglas-fir trees. These timbers were of the highest quality because of the arid climate, which causes the trees to grow very slowly, keeping a tight grain.

Career.

Trouhanowa was born into a musical family; her father was an opera singer in Kiev, Vladimir Bostunov. She made international news for wearing extravagant diamonds on stage at Monte Carlo in 1906. She was known for dancing the part of Salome in various Paris productions, including in Richard Strauss's "Salome" (1907, dancing for singer Emmy Destinn), in Antoine Mariotte's opera "Salomé" (1910, dancing for singer Lucienne Bréval), and in Florent Schmitt's "La tragédie de Salomé" (1912). She also premiered Paul Dukas's "La Péri" and Maurice Ravel's "Adelaide, or the Language of Flowers" in 1912, and acted the part of "the Nun" in Max Reinhardt's "The Miracle" (1912). In 1914, she danced at Rheims for the Sixth Olympic Congress.  She had a well-publicized confrontation with Richard Strauss in 1907, when he refused to let her take a curtain call as Salomé, next to the singer of the part, "as he considered the art of dancing was an inferior one"; she left the production and described the insult in a letter to the press. She appeared in several French silent films, mostly short films, beginning with "The Ugly Girl" in 1909, and ending with "Léda" and "La forêt qui écoute" in 1916. She retired from the stage when she married in 1918, but returned in 1921.

Personal life.

Trouhanowa was sufficiently successful to own an admired house in Paris, and was known for her love of swimming topless as well as dancing.  Natalia Bostunova was married briefly as a teenager to Boris Trouhanov. In 1913 she was rumored to be romantically involved with the troubled Duke of Leinster, "decidedly the most eligible of all British bachelors", but that she refused to leave dancing for the title of Duchess. Instead she married, a Russian count living in Paris. They ran a small farm together after World War I, and moved back to Russia together in 1936. She died in 1956, aged 71 years, in Moscow. There is a box of letters to Trouhanowa, and a manuscript of her memoirs, in the Houghton Library at Harvard University.

Raugel entered the École normale supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses in 1972, obtaining the agrégation in mathematics in 1976. She earned her Ph.D degree from University of Rennes 1 in 1978 with a thesis entitled "Résolution numérique de problèmes elliptiques dans des domaines avec coins" (Numerical resolution of elliptic problems in domains with edges).  Raugel got a tenured position in the CNRS the same year, first as a researcher (1978–1994) then as a research director (exceptional class from 2014 on). Beginning in 1989, she worked at the Orsay Math Lab of CNRS affiliated to the University of Paris-Sud since 1989.  Raugel also held visiting professor positions in several international institutions: the University of California, Berkeley (1986–1987), Caltech (1991), the Fields Institute (1993), University of Hamburg (1994–95), and the University of Lausanne (2006). She delivered the Hale Memorial Lectures in 2013, at the first international conference on the dynamic of differential equations, Atlanta.  She co-directed the international "Journal of Dynamics and Differential Equations" from 2005 on.

Research.

Raugel's first research works were devoted to numerical analysis, in particular finite element discretization of partial differential equations. With Christine Bernardi, she studied a finite element for the Stokes problem, now known as the Bernardi-Fortin-Raugel element. She was also interested in problems of bifurcation, showing for instance how to use invariance properties of the dihedral group in these questions. In the mid-1980s, she started working on the dynamics of evolution equations, in particular on global attractors, perturbation theory, and the Navier-Stokes equations in thin domains. In the last topic she was recognized as a world expert.

Geneviève Raugel (27 May 1951 – 10 May 2019) was a French mathematician working in the field of numerical analysis and dynamical systems.

History.

In 1969, Leche Pascual was born in Aranda de Duero, Burgos, the result of the entrepreneurial and innovative vision of its founder, Don Tomás Pascual Sanz. Since its birth, the company has offered new products year after year. Pioneer since its inception, Pascual was the first company to market long-lasting milk in the Spanish market. He also introduced the brik packaged milk. Later it was the first brand to release skim milk and then semi-skim milk.  Shortly after the company begins a stage of diversification, going from being a company that only produced milk to gradually enter other sectors. Thus, with the purchase of the Bezoya, Agua de Cardó and Zambra springs, the group positioned itself strongly in the mineral water market. The launch of the Zumosol brand quickly made the company the leader in the juice market. Shortly after came the turn of butter, cream and milks with juice through the launch of Bio Frutas (today, Bifrutas), creating a new category of functional foods. Another of the company's great technological innovation milestones was the launch of the ultrapasteurized liquid egg, the risk of salmonella disappearing completely.  In 1994, Pascual began its international expansion, focused mainly on the export of pasteurized yogurts and long-lasting desserts. Pascual obtained in 199 the Grade A approval granted by the US FDA (Food & Drug Administration) for the export of pasteurized yogurts to the United States, becoming the first company, outside the United States, to achieve the highest quality certification of the administration American  The entry into the 21st century begins with the launch in 2002 of Vivesoy, soy-based drinks and juices, creator of a new category of vegetable drinks in the Spanish consumer market, while in 2003 MásVital, the first food, was born Pascual prebiotic.  In 2005, Pascual once again pioneered the launch of the first aseptic PET plastic bottle for packaging of Uperisada Milk, ensuring the same quality in this new packaging as tetra brik. That same year, it launched its new product line Zumos Pascual, the first freshly squeezed orange juice on the market that does not need cold thanks to the latest technology in its production.  2006 is remembered for the death of Don Tomás Pascual Sanz, founder of the company, producing a generational change in ownership with the incorporation to the presidency of his eldest son Tomás Pascual Gómez-Cuétara, who had been occupying the position of CEO since 1996. The Tomás Pascual Sanz Institute sees the light in 2007, an entity designed to maintain the legacy of the founder in pursuit of health and quality of life, having since focused its activity on the dissemination of healthy habits, nutrition and health until 2017, year of celebrating its X anniversary. A year later, Pascual's effort to advance in the management of its human resources is endorsed with the EFR certification, Family Responsible Company.  2010 stands out for the acquisition of Mocay caffé to develop the Pascual hotel offer. During this stage, the company continues to focus on improving its management systems with the integral quality as a flag, as guaranteed in 2012 obtaining the seal of European excellence 400 + EFQM  In 2013 Pascual created the company Qualianza, as a distribution company for its products as well as the brands with which it reaches alliances. In this way, Qualianza Integral Distribution Services will allow the company's commercial activity to be extended. The launch of the DiaBalance food product range for diabetics is also taking place, as a result of the partnership with Esteve Laboratories. Likewise, Pascual obtains the Five Star Ecostar environmental certification for its sustainable fleet, as well as the “Equality in the Company” badge of the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality. 2014 marks a before and after with the presentation of the company's new corporate identity, becoming known as Paschal Quality. The following year, Pascual Quality reinforces its commitment to hospitality, one of its strategic commercial channels, with the launch of “Extra Creme” Easter milk, a specialized milk for the hospitality channel.  2016 was the year in which Pascual Quality extended its conception of innovation to the whole society through its Pascual Startup initiative, which supports Spanish entrepreneurs with ideas related to the agri-food sector. On the other hand, in the month of October, Pascual Quality enters the Royal Order of Sports Merit for its support of the Olympic sport. As for the launches, examples such as the new 0% Skimmed Easter Milk, ColaCao Shake or the new Zero Forks attest to the commitment to innovation. The year 2017 is a period of change, of consolidation of leadership, with a new organizational structure and advances in the objective of digital transformation and the extension of an innovative culture throughout the organization. The challenges are not only to value the products, but also all the initiatives focused on improving the value chain and relations with all the company's stakeholders through an ethical, responsible and excellent management.

Calidad Pascual (formerly known as Grupo Leche Pascual) is a Spanish dairy company based in Madrid, Spain. The company was founded as Grupo Leche Pascual in 1969 by Tomás Pascual. It changed name as Calidad Pascual in January 2014.


Plot.

Lui Lok (Aaron Kwok) became a police officer in order to uphold justice. But the rampant corruption within the police force made it impossible for him to remain independent. As a result, he decides to make a name for himself within the police force by controlling organized crime.  Nam Kong (Tony Leung Chiu-wai), who seems like gentleman on the surface, operates with a dagger under his cloak. He is socially active among the police force as well as in social circles, laying the groundwork for the empire of corruption he builds with Lui. Nam and Lui, the brains and the brawn working in perfect unison, respectively become Chinese Chief Detective of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon / New Territories in 1962. They lord over organized crime, and lead tens of thousands of policemen.  Nam has long seen through Lui's cynicism and naiveté, and has been plotting a hostile takeover of power. When Lui discovers that everything is not as he had imagined, he vows to forcibly regain controlling leadership from Nam.

Biography.

Hoyt William Fuller was born in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1927, his mother, Lillie Beatrice Ellafair Thomas, fell ill to a disease that caused her to become an invalid before bringing about her death. Shortly afterwards in the same year Fuller's father, Thomas Fuller, died. Fuller went to live with his aunt in Detroit, Michigan, following the death of his parents. He frequently returned to Atlanta to visit his grandmother, who encouraged him to explore African-American culture.  Fuller graduated from Wayne State University in 1950, with a bachelor's degree in literature and journalism. Fred Williams, a local amateur historian of Detroit’s black community, became Fuller’s mentor while he attended Wayne State. Aside from giving Fuller readings about Africa and African Americans, Williams also took him on his research trips to interview older members of the black community. After graduating, Fuller pursued a career in journalism. He worked at the "Detroit Tribune" (1949–51), the "Michigan Chronicle" (1951–54), and "Ebony" magazine (1954–57).  Becoming frustrated with the disconnect between "Ebony"’s content and the struggle for black freedom, he quit his position as the magazine's associate editor in 1957. In his autobiographical work "Journey to Africa" (1971), he describes his inability to find employment thereafter and his anger at the racially oppressive culture of America. As a result, Fuller moved to Europe, living for three years (1957 to 1960) in France and Spain. While in Spain, he wrote about West Africa for the "Amsterdam Haagse Post". He spent three months in Algiers and Guinea, an experience that inspired him to write "Journey to Africa".  Fuller’s experiences in Africa gave him a new sense of purpose and led him to return to the United States in 1960. No longer concerned with reforming white American racial beliefs, he focused his attention on black America. He believed that African and African-American culture would inspire black Americans to take action against racial oppression and contribute to more confident expressions of their own identity. "Robert Joseph Collier Encyclopedia" hired Fuller as associate editor in 1960. In 1961, he became editor of "The Negro Digest", which became "Black World" in 1970. "Negro Digest/Black World" was devoted to black culture and arts and became an important platform for many Black Arts Movement writers. When the publication was discontinued in 1975, Fuller moved to Atlanta and founded the journal "First World" (1977–80). He wrote articles, under the pseudonym of William Barrow, for publications including "The New Yorker", "The New Republic" and the "Christian Science Monitor".  Fuller worked at several universities, including Cornell University and Northwestern University. He visited Africa again in 1965-66 as a John Hay Whitney Opportunity Fellow. He also helped organize several Pan-African festivals and formed the Chicago Organization of Black American Culture, a writers’ group. In 1981, Fuller died of a heart attack in Atlanta.

Hoyt W. Fuller (September 10, 1923 – May 11, 1981) was an American editor, educator, critic, and author during the Black Arts Movement. Fuller created the Organization of Black American Culture (OBAC) in Chicago. In addition, he taught creative writing and African-American literature at Columbia College Chicago, Northwestern University, and Cornell University.


History.

Early proposals.

In 2003, the Government of Western Australia commissioned a review to examine the future of major sporting venues in Western Australia. To conduct the review, a taskforce was appointed. It was chaired by John Langoulant, Chief Executive of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia, and released its final report in May 2007. The report recommended the construction of a new 60,000 seat stadium at either Kitchener Park (which adjoins Subiaco Oval) or in East Perth, which would be suitable for Australian rules football, cricket and also rectangular-field sports such as soccer, rugby union and rugby league. The taskforce recommended against the further development of Subiaco Oval, which would be demolished. It also recommended against building the new stadium at the site of Burswood, stating that "The development costs at the Burswood site would be significantly higher due to local site conditions and the need for significant upgrades to transport infrastructure."  In July 2007, the Government of Western Australia announced its preference to build a new 60,000-seat stadium rather than re-develop Subiaco Oval, and in early 2008 it confirmed that Subiaco Oval would be demolished for the new Perth super-stadium to be built next door at Kitchener Park. This site was chosen ahead of the other suggested site at the old East Perth Power Station, which was set aside to house a new $500 million museum.  The new stadium at Subiaco was scheduled to be built between 2011 and 2016, with the majority of the stadium to be completed in 2014. Subiaco Oval was to be demolished between 2014 and 2016 to allow the end of construction on Perth Stadium. The staged construction would have allowed for Australian rules football to be played at the new venue by 2014, when the stadium was two-thirds completed with an initial capacity of 40,000 seats. The final stage would be completed in 2016 and expand the stadium's capacity to 60,000.  Stadium plans suggested its playing surface would have been oval in shape to accommodate Australian rules football and cricket games. The stadium was also expected to have retractable seating which would have reconfigured the venue to make it suitable for rectangular-field sports codes, such as soccer, rugby union and rugby league. These retractable seats were to number 22,000, and were to be situated along the touch lines and behind the posts in the rectangular configuration. With an overall planned capacity of 60,000, Perth Stadium would have been Western Australia's largest sports venue, and it was designed to be built such that the capacity could be increased to 70,000 if needed in the future.  The stadium was expected to be primarily used for Australian rules football with the ability to host cricket, rugby union, rugby league and soccer matches. It was planned that it would be the home ground for the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers, the two Western Australian teams in the Australian Football League. It was also planned to host rugby union Test matches, soccer and rock concerts.. In reality AFL matches have been joined by the AFLW games and WAFL grand finals.  The cost for the Kitchener Park stadium was expected to reach $1.1 billion, including $800 million on construction of the stadium itself and $300 million on associated infrastructure, property acquisition, escalation, transport infrastructure and other costs. Construction of the new stadium would have involved moving 27 private residences and moving residents from another 66 state housing properties surrounding Subiaco Oval. These state housing tenants would have been relocated within the Subiaco area. The project was going to be funded by the Government of Western Australia.  Following the election of a new State Government under Colin Barnett, the new stadium's plans were scrapped in early February 2009. Barnett stated that a new stadium would not be considered for at least two years. As a result of Australia's failed bid for the 2022 World Cup, $250 million in potential Federal Government funding for a new stadium was also withdrawn in December 2010.

Burswood location.

In June 2011, the State Government announced that the new stadium would be built in Burswood on the northern section of the Burswood Park golf course. The government stated that the Burswood site was preferred because it was unconstrained by surrounding developments and had the additional benefit of being government-owned. It would also allow for a special events six-platform Perth Stadium railway station to be built and could be connected to the central business district via a pedestrian bridge across the Swan River to East Perth. A car park was not built to service the stadium, with visitors expected to either park in the city and walk across the bridge or use public transport.  The Government stated that planning for the new stadium at Burswood was due to be completed by mid-2012, with construction commencing in 2014 and scheduled for completion in 2018. It announced Multiplex as the contract holders for the construction of the stadium and appointed the firm Populous as the project's architectural consultants.

Construction.

Cost.

Following the Barnett Government's announcement to move the site of the proposed stadium to Burswood, it stated that the stadium would cost around $700 million, with an extra $300 million allocated to public transport works. However, in December 2011 Premier Colin Barnett stated that it was too early to say what the final cost would be, explaining that "No one can put a price on it until it's designed, until it goes out to tender".  The previous Government's Major Stadia Taskforce had earlier put the total cost of the Burswood stadium option, including transport needs, at $1.147 billion. This higher cost, comparative to the sites at Subiaco or East Perth, was mainly "due to the need to provide substantial transport infrastructure as well as the additional costs associated with site conditions (i.e. reclaimed flood plain and site previously used as the Perth Municipal Rubbish Dump which included industrial as well as domestic landfill up until 1971)." In June 2011 the "West Australian" newspaper reported that due to an increase in construction costs since the release of the task force report in 2007, the total cost will be close to $1.5 billion, assuming work begins within two years.  The Australian Football League agreed to help pay for Perth's new stadium at Burswood, although it was not revealed how much money it would contribute. However, the nearby Crown Perth, which is expected to benefit commercially from the presence of the stadium, was not asked by the Barnett Government to help meet the construction costs.  In October 2017 it was reported that the final cost of the completed stadium was $1.6 billion. This equated to an average cost per Western Australian household of $1500, and per person of $600. In February 2018 a State Government inquiry into Western Australia's finances under the former Barnett government found that the full cost of the stadium including transport infrastructure will be $1.8 billion, around $200 million more than previous estimates.

Impacts.

The site is located on the Burswood Peninsula, previously known as the Swan Portland Cement Site. The Swan Portland Cement Company Ltd operated at the site from 1927 and James Hardie Industries operated at the adjacent site from the 1920s up until 1981. In its report and recommendations, "Remediation and Redevelopment of the Swan Portland Cement Site, Burswood", (January 1998) the Environmental Protection Authority, states "The current site is contaminated with asbestos waste from the James Hardie operations and cement kiln dust, kiln bricks and associated contaminated soil and hydrocarbons from the Swan Portland cement operations." In its report it estimates cement kiln dust on the site, the effects of which should be managed, with regard to its effects upon public health, groundwater and surface water. Three zones of asbestos contamination on the site were identified in the report; zone 1 having 68,000 cubic metres of broken and loose asbestos, zone 2 having 150,000 cubic metres of asbestos contamination up to 15 metres below ground level and zone 3 being 180,000 cubic metres of asbestos contamination within 600,000 cubic metres of cement kiln dust.  The EPA report states that while undisturbed in the soil, the contamination poses no threat to public health but disturbing the site will result in airborne asbestos fibres and contamination from the soil. The EPA recommended a management plan for any disturbance of asbestos contamination to be conducted by the Town of Victoria Park.  In November 2012, Victoria Park residents contacted the Health Department to notify them asbestos and other material had been unearthed by work on the southern parking lot of the Casino complex. Alarmed residents feared asbestos exposure to locals, park users and Casino patrons. Although the Health Department advised that no risk had been identified, stock piles were sprayed with hydromulch, windbreaks were put on fencing, contaminant levels were being monitored and paths and loose soil were sealed. The Premier's office advised that the Department of Building Management and Works were undertaking the project. The Health Department assured residents there was "no risk to the general public".  The construction of the stadium affected Aboriginal communities. Although the State Solicitor's Office advises that native title has been extinguished over the site, it has heritage significance for the local indigenous people, the Whadjuk Noongar, being a burial site. Despite the Department of Indigenous Affairs advising the existence of the registered Aboriginal Heritage site affecting the Burswood Peninsula and East Perth foreshore, the site was deregistered by the Barnett Liberal State Government. Following the Supreme Court decision Robinson v Fielding [2015] WASC 108 to reinstate DAA 22874 (Marapikurrinya Yintha – Port Hedland Harbour) after it had been deregistered by the Barnett government, the Burswood Island Burial site was reassessed in October 2016 but remains "Not a Site" under the Aboriginal Heritage Act (AHA). Previously the site was recognised by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA) as DAA site 15914: Burswood Island Burial. "Several culturally significant sites around WA have had their protection withdrawn in the past year on the basis they no longer fit the definition of a sacred site. Guidelines issued by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs stated that to be a recognised as sacred site, a place needs to have been devoted to religious use rather than simply mythological stories, songs or beliefs."

Opening.

The first event to be held at the stadium was a Twenty20 cricket match between the Perth Scorchers and the England Lions on 11 December 2017, followed by a second match between the same teams two days later. It was officially opened to the public on 21 January 2018 with a free open day for the community.

Naming rights.

During construction, then-Premier Colin Barnett had maintained that the government would not be selling the naming rights for the stadium as it would "not be appropriate for such a significant piece of State-owned infrastructure". Instead he suggested a name such as "Swan Stadium" or "River Stadium" – named after the adjacent Swan River – would be more appropriate. Ultimately, the name Perth Stadium was settled on as it was more representative of Western Australia. In the lead up to the state election in March 2017, Labor, then in opposition, announced that it would sell the naming rights for both Perth Stadium and Perth Arena as part of a plan to return the state budget to surplus if it were to win government.  Despite initially suggesting it might retain the Perth Stadium name or at least retain "Perth" in any naming rights arrangement, the new McGowan government announced on 8 November 2017 that the stadium would be officially known as Optus Stadium. Optus, the second-largest telecommunication company in Australia, and the state government agreed to a 10-year naming rights deal that is thought to be worth approximately $50 million in value.

Facilities.

Architecture and design.

As with the earlier plans for the new stadium at Kitchener Park, the stadium seats 60,000 spectators, with the ability to seat up to 70,000 in rectangular mode. Initially in the early design stages, it was hoped the venue could have the potential to expand to 80,000 seats in the future by adding a third tier along one wing and another tier on the opposite side of the ground each holding 10,000 seats. Even at 60,000, Perth Stadium still has the third-biggest capacity of any stadium in the country.  The field is long and wide, longer than both the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Docklands Stadium in Melbourne, but shorter than Subiaco Oval which is. It is a multi-purpose facility able to hold not only sporting events such as Australian rules football and major rugby league, rugby union, cricket and soccer games, but major cultural events such as concerts.  Like WACA, when the Fremantle sea breeze blows across the stadium, it give welcoming relief from the heat. However, due to the stadium seating being a fully enclosed, open roofed dome, the stadium can get hotter than the WACA.

Food and amenities.

The stadium is serviced by over 50 food and beverage outlets, with patrons able to follow on-field action on TV screens. The Camfield, a large pub, microbrewery and function centre, is located outside the stadium and open seven days a week.  There are two screens on either end of the stadium and over 1,000 TV screens located within it. The stadium has 748 male, 781 female and 60 accessible toilets. Security features include an on-site police station, 650 CCTV cameras around the stadium and surrounding precinct, and freestanding metal detectors at the stadium.  Fans will never be more than 40 metres away from a bar or food outlet. 75 percent of food supplied is from locally owned and operated businesses.  During the Test Cricket match in December 2019,a temporary swimming pool was installed, similar to the one at The Gabba.

Transport.

As the stadium is located on a peninsula with limited road access, the majority of visitors have to travel to and from the stadium primarily by public transport. The Public Transport Authority aims to have 83 percent of visitors use public transport. The six-platform Perth Stadium railway station and 22-stand Perth Stadium Bus Station located nearby are expected to serve an estimated 28,000 and 8,000 passengers respectively on event days.  For events, 8,600 people typically walk and cycle across the Swan River via the Windan Bridge, and an additional 14,300 walk across the Matagarup Bridge which connects the stadium precinct with public transport and car parks in East Perth. There are 600 bicycle parking spots located around the stadium precinct. The stadium has 1,400 car parking bays, but they are reserved for staff, premium ticket holders and disability parking. A taxi rank is located next to the stadium; it was off-limits to transportation network companies, including Uber until 13 March 2019.  A jetty was built near Matagarup Bridge and officially opened on 11 June 2018. The Burswood Jetty allows all public and commercial vessels to drop off or pick up patrons with a 15-minute time limit. The Little Ferry Co. operate a service which stops daily at the jetty, while Captain Cook Cruises operate cruise transfers to and from the jetty on event days.

Stadium uses.

Australian rules football.

Perth Stadium is used for Australian rules football matches in the Australian Football League (AFL) from March–September. The stadium was constructed to provide a new home ground for the West Coast Eagles and Fremantle Dockers, Perth's two professional AFL clubs. The state government negotiated an agreement with the AFL and the West Australian Football Commission (WAFC) in October 2017, allowing the Eagles and Dockers to play their home matches at the venue from the start of the 2018 season, in exchange for a $10.3 million a year guarantee for the WAFC until 2028. Fremantle's women's team hosted the first Australian rules football match at the venue against on 10 February 2018, and the attendance of 41,975 was the highest stand-alone figure in domestic women's sport.

Since late 2017, the Australia national cricket team play most of their Perth-based Tests, One Day and Twenty20 matches at the venue. The stadium is also the home ground of Big Bash League side Perth Scorchers, who relocated from the WACA Ground in 2018. Perth Stadium has been provisionally selected to be a venue for the ICC World Twenty20 tournament in 2020. The first major event at the stadium was an ODI match between Australia and England on 28 January 2018, which England won by 12 runs.  Perth Stadium became the 19th venue in Australia to host a One Day International cricket game. The Western Australian Cricket Association later confirmed that the stadium would host its first ever Test match, which began between Australia and India on 14 December 2018.  Perth Stadium became the fourth venue in Australia to host a men's Day/night cricket Test match, when Australia took on New Zealand between 12 and 16 December 2019.

The stadium can be extended up to 65,000 seats for rectangular sports.


Military campaigns.

In 1625 the Dutch West India Company ordered Hendrijks to rescue Bahia, which was held by the Dutch hands but had been attacked by the Spaniards. He was given 34 ships with good artillery and 6,500 men, but by the time he arrived in Brazil the Spanish had already expelled the Dutch from the town.  Several days after the Dutch surrender, a relief fleet of 33 ships under Admiral Boudewijn Hendricksz, seconded by Vice Admiral Andries Veron, bearded down upon the bay divided in two columns. Toledo, who was warned about its arrival, disposed 6 galleons to lure them to a murderous crossfire. However, seeing the large Spanish-Portuguese fleet anchored inside, Hendricksz decided to withdraw to open sea. Spanish warships attempted to pursue him but a galleon ran aground and the chase was abandoned. Hendricksz divided his fleet in three groups. One of them returned to Holland with the supplies and ammunition for the garrison of Salvador; the other two attacked respectively the Spanish Caribbean colonial town of San Juan de Puerto Rico and the Portuguese African trading post of the Castle of Elmina but were both decisively defeated.  The Dutch fleet then sailed to Paraíba where it was split into two. Half of the ships, commanded by Veront, sailed to Africa. The other 17 ships were commanded by Hendrijks himself, and went to Puerto Rico with the intention of capturing it.  On 24 September 1625, Hendrijks arrived at the coast of San Juan with 17 ships and 2,000 men and sent a message to the governor of Puerto Rico, Juan de Haro, ordering him to surrender the island. De Haros refused; he was an experienced military man and expected an attack in the section known as Boqueron. He therefore had that area fortified. However, the Dutch took another route and landed in La Puntilla.  De Haro realized that an invasion was inevitable and ordered Captain Juan de Amézqueta, plus 300 men stationed at "San Felipe del Morro Castle" (also known as "El Morro") and the city of San Juan evacuated. He also had former governor Juan de Vargas organize an armed resistance in the interior of the island. On September 25 Hendrijks attacked San Juan, besieging El Morro Castle and La Fortaleza (the Governor's Mansion). He invaded the capital city and set up his headquarters in La Fortaleza. The Dutch were counterattacked by Captain Juan de Amézqueta and 50 members of the civilian militia on land and by the cannons of the Spanish troops in El Morro Castle. The land battle left 60 Dutch soldiers dead and Hendrijks with a sword wound to his neck which he received from the hands of Amézqueta, who is considered as one of the best swordsman of the island.  The Dutch ships at sea were boarded by the Puerto Ricans who defeated the Dutch in the land battle. After a long battle, the Spanish soldiers and volunteers of the city's militia were able to defend the city from the attack and save the island from an invasion. On October 21, Enrico set La Fortaleza and the city ablaze. Captains Amézqueta and Andrés Botello decided to put a stop to the destruction and led 200 men in an attack against the enemy's front and rear guard. They drove Hendrijks and his men from their trenches and into the ocean in their haste to reach their ships.  Hendrijks, upon his retreat, would leave behind him one of his largest ships stranded and over 400 of his men dead. He then tried to invade the island by attacking the town of Aguada. He was again defeated by the local militia and abandoned the idea of invading Puerto Rico.  The privateer then went on to Santo Domingo, where he engaged another fort, and later sailed on to Margarita. On 22 February he arrived at Pampatar, which he took easily, and disembarked in a village now called Porlamar. But these limited successes did not recompense the outlay made in the equipping of his fleet.  He then decided to head to Havana, whose defenses he studied for some time, until he ultimately decided that it was folly to try to take it. He then travelled on to Matanzas and landed in Cabañas, where he provisioned. There he fell ill and died on 2 July 1626. His fleet returned to Holland, and only 700 of the 1,500 men who had attacked Puerto Rico returned alive.

Boudewijn Hendricksz (died 1626) (also known as Hendrikszoon, Bowdoin Henrick to the English, and Balduino Enrico to the Spanish) was a Dutch corsair and later Admiral. He is most famous for his role in the Battle of San Juan (1625) during the Eighty Years' War, in which he tried but failed to capture San Juan from Spanish forces. In the same year, prior the assault on San Juan he attempted to recapture Bahia, Brazil after the Spanish overcame Dutch forces in the city.


Early life.

Oriolo was born in Union City, New Jersey in 1913, the son of Italian immigrants. As a child, he drew constantly and dreamed of becoming a cartoon animator.

Career.

In 1933, at age 20, he went to work for Fleischer Studios as an errand boy, where his talent as a draftsman and his ambitions advanced him to the position of an animator within one year. During the late '30s he worked on a number of studio shorts, and when the studio moved to Miami in '38 he went with it. There, in addition to the shorts, he worked on both of the studio's feature-length films, "Gulliver's Travels" and "Mr. Bug Goes to Town", as well as the two-reel "Raggedy Ann & Raggedy Andy". Paramount took over the Fleischer studio in 1942 and reestablished it in New York as Famous Studios. Joe Oriolo met Otto Messmer (who was employed with the studio as a storyboard artist from 1944–46) before leaving in 1944.  In 1939, he and author Seymour Reit created the character of Casper the Friendly Ghost for a children's book. Two subsequent books, "There's Good Boos To-Night" and "A Haunting We Will Go" followed, before Oriolo sold the rights to Famous Studios. Casper went on to become one of the studios' most popular animated series before being sold to Alfred Harvey (whose Harvey Comics began producing Casper comic books in 1952) on July 27, 1958.  After leaving Famous Studios, Oriolo began working as a freelance animator on films for the armed forces and industrial films, as well as some of the earliest TV commercials. He began drawing comic books (including Fawcett's George Pal "Puppetoons"), and began working with Otto Messmer on the Felix the Cat comic books until they ceased publication. In 1954, Oriolo assumed authorship of the separate Felix daily comic strips at the request of King Features Syndicate, which he continued to produce until 1969.  In 1958, Joe became a business partner with William O. Sullivan, brother of Pat Sullivan, the original copyright owner of Felix the Cat. Together, they formed Felix the Cat Productions, Inc (named after the famous character of same name) and created the pilot show for the award-winning "Felix the Cat" television series. Making use of many former Fleischer/Famous directors, 260 Felix shorts were made for television syndication in 1960. Oriolo built on this success in 1963 with both "The Mighty Hercules" and "Beetle Bailey". In 1967 Oriolo Studios created "Johnny Cypher in Dimension Zero". In 1969, "Ribbon no Kishi" was brought to the U.S. by Joe Oriolo and Burt Hecht. It was retitled "Princess Knight" and purchased from Mushi Productions; English dialogue scripts were written and voices dubbed. Later, the business arrangement between Oriolo and Hecht fell apart; and as part of the settlement, Hecht departed with the "Princess Knight" masters in 1970. As a result, the company ultimately scrapped the show before it could be broadcast. For a number of years it was thought that all of the English-language dubs of the series had been either lost or destroyed. However, the English-language masters of the series were found in the Netherlands in 1996.  By 1971, Oriolo had taken complete control of Felix the Cat, and continued to market the character right up until his death.

Death.

A resident of Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, Oriolo died at the age of 72 at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey. He was buried in his hometown at George Washington Memorial Park in New Jersey.

Joseph "Joe" Oriolo (February 21, 1913, – December 25, 1985) was an American cartoon animator, writer, director and producer, known as the co-creator of Casper the Friendly Ghost and the creator of the "Felix the Cat" TV series.


History.

The Cora live in the rugged mountain and canyon country of Nayarit and across the border in neighboring Jalisco, Durango, and Sinaloa. In the early 18th century they were an anomaly in that they had never permitted Catholic missionaries to live in their country. They had become a pagan island in a sea of Christian Indians and Hispanic culture. In 1716, a Spanish expedition to attempt to bring the Cora under Spanish control failed. However, in 1722, the Spanish returned in force and the Cora yielded. According to Spanish accounts many of them became Christian and practice, up until the present, "Catholic-derived customs."

Religion.

The Cora religion is a syncretism between the pre-Conquest religion and Catholicism.  The ancestral Cora religion has three principal divinities. The supreme god is the sun god, "Tayau", "our father". He travels across the sky during the day, sitting down in his golden throne at noon. Clouds are believed to be smoke from his pipe. In earlier times the priests of "Tayau", the "tonatí", were the highest authority of the Cora communities. His wife is "Tetewan", the underworld goddess associated with the moon, rain, and the west. Her alternate names are "Hurima" and "Nasisa". Their son, "Sautari", "the flower picker", is associated with maize and the afternoon. Other names for him are "Hatsikan", "big brother", "Tahás", and "Ora". He is also associated with Jesus Christ.  Some Cora myths clearly have Mesoamerican origins; for example, the myth of the creation of the fifth sun. Others are shared with the geographically and linguistically adjacent Huichol; for example, the myth of the human race being the offspring of a man and a dog-woman who were the only survivors of a mythical cataclysmic deluge.

Language.

The Cora language belongs to the Corachol languages branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family. It has two dialects, El Nayar (to the east) and Santa Teresa (to the west).

The Cora are an indigenous ethnic group of North Western Mexico which live in the municipality El Nayar, Rosamorada, Ruiz, Tepic, Mezquital Durango in the Mexican state of Nayarit and in a few settlements in the neighboring state of Jalisco. They call themselves "náayerite" (plural; "náayeri" singular), whence the name of the present day Mexican state of Nayarit. The 2000 Mexican census reported that there were 24,390 persons who were members of Cora speaking households, these being defined as households where at least one parent or elder claim to speak the Cora language. Of these 24 thousand, 67 percent (16,357) were reported to speak Cora, 17 percent were nonspeakers, and the remaining 16 percent were unspecified with regard to their language.


Activities.

Involvement in the Georgian Civil War.

The exact origin of the Black Pantyhose Battalion remains unknown, although it is probable that the group came to existence organically, through the rallying of women supporters to Georgian President Zviad Gamsakhurdia and his wife, First Lady Manana Archvadze-Gamsakhurdia, during the early anti-Gamsakhurdia protests that paralyzed Tbilisi due to the first President's authoritarian tendencies following the country's independence from the Soviet Union in April 1991. The group was involved, according to US-based NGO Human Rights Watch, in provocation attempts during anti-governmental protests led by opposition leaders in September 1991. Described as "legions of middle-aged women adoring the President", most women are said to come from the western Georgian region of Mingrelia, home region of Zviad Gamsakhurdia.  The involvement of the BPB in the conflict that would rock Georgia's first year as an independent republic remains controversial, with some analysts calling it "bad". On September 22, 1991, during a protest of hungerstrikers opposing the authoritarian tendencies of Zviad Gamsakhurdia by the Georgian Parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue, government troops were used to violently disseminate the crowd. According to a witness testimony involved recorded by Human Rights Watch, this is the first open involvement of the Black Pantyhose Battalion, called the "furies" in the NGO's report: Government troops were led by the Georgian Minister of the Interior, Dilar Khobuliani. He was backed up by his entourage plus about 100 MVD men in plainclothes, plus 50 guardsmen, and 100 militiamen. These armed forces were supplemented with about 200 of Gamsakhurdia's so-called "furies" [ed.: pro-Gamsakhurdia women who dress in black and attack his critics.] About 40 NDP members first sat down during this attack to try to protect themselves.  From December 22, 1991 to January 6, 1992, President Gamsakhurdia and his government bunker themselves down under the Parliament building, leading to a devastating coup d'état nicknamed the "Tbilisi War". During the conflict, which led to the death of at least 113, Russian media outlet "Interfax" mentioned the BPB as one of the leading factions in charge of protecting Zviad Gamsakhurdia, claiming that a majority of the 300-500 presidential guards were armed members of the Battalion. By the end of the coup, Gamsakhurdia would be overthrown and a Military Council would take power until the later arrival of Eduard Shevardnadze as head of state.

Under Saakashvili.

While the group slowed its activities during the Shevardnadze presidency, the BPB reemerged but did not take up arms following the 2003 Rose Revolution that brought to power Mikheil Saakashvili, who peacefully overthrew Eduard Shevardnadze. However, the lack of criminal charges against the former president and the "de facto" clemency brought upon by the new president failed to reconcile the group with the new administration. They regularly held protests outside of Shevardnadze's residence in Tbilisi. In one protest, demonstrators are quoted as saying, "He is a criminal, he should never have been left as a free man- he and his allies must be tried for the crimes they committed by overthrowing the legal government in 1991 and then killing Gamsakhurdia."  In April 2005, during a memorial ceremony for the 9 April 1989 shooting of Georgian protesters by Soviet troops in Tbilisi, members of the BPB, led by Manana Archvadze-Gamsakhurdia led a protest to prevent Sandra Roelofs, Saakashvili's First Lady, from paying tribute to the dead. During the protest, they surrounded the First Lady until a police intervention.  In November 2009, members of the BPB staged protests to ask for the release of Tsotne Gamsakhurdia, who was accused of planning the murder of his neighbor.

Since 2013.

Since the arrival of Georgian Dream to power in the new parliamentary republic, the BPB's activities have significantly decreased. The last major protest organized by the group was held shortly after Eduard Shevardnadze's death in July 2014, when women led by Manana Archvadze-Gamsakhurdia stood in front of the deceased former president's home and screamed anti-Shevardnadze chants. As of 2019, there are no records of any gathering by the BPB.

Political Views.

While there is no ideological thought at the center of the BPB, the Battalion supports Zviadism, the term coined to describe partisanship toward late President Zviad Gamsakhurdia. This has often coincided the group with ultra-nationalism and a deep opposition to the presidency of Eduard Shevardnadze, who was seen as one of the masterminds behind the 1991-92 Georgian coup d'état. As there is no central organization of the BPB, few details exist on the identity or goals of today's Battalion.  As the BPB never recognized Gamsakhurdia's overthrow and continued to consider him as Georgia's president until his death on December 31, 1993, the group recognizes only a vacancy in the presidency (thus refusing to assume the legitimacy of Presidents Shevardnadze and his successors). Instead, the BPB recognizes Manana Archvadze-Gamsakhurdia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia's widow, as Prime Minister until the latter chooses to recognize the results of a future presidential election. There is no record of the group recognizing other individuals as members of the "alternative cabinet".

Society's Views.

The Black Pantyhose Battalion is often seen in a negative light by the general Georgian society. Described as "bad", "fanatical", and "provocateurs" by some political experts, they have failed to garner much support along the years and are seen as one of the last bastions of Zviadism in today's Georgia.  The term "Black Pantyhose Battalion", or "Black Stockings" is not an official name of the group and is more often used pejoratively to mock the black clothing of the female partisans of Gamsakhurdia.  Activist groups of women that fought for Chechnya's independence during Jokhar Dudayev's Chechen Republic of Ichkeria are said to have inspired themselves from the BPB. Interestingly, Zviad Gamsakhurdia spent part of his exile in Grozny, where he became a friend and adviser to Dudayev.

The Black Pantyhose Battalion, also known as the Black Stockings and the Furies, are a group of female partisans of the late first President of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, and his widow, Manana Archvadze-Gamsakhurdia. The group has, at times, served as an armed militia fighting for Gamsakhurdia, notably during the 1991-92 Georgian coup d'état. Refusing to recognize any government as legitimate since Gamsakhurdia's death in December 1993, the group has often been involved in public protests against the Shevardnadze and Saakashvili administrations.


Military career.

Entering the British army in 1797 as an Ensign in the 32rd Regiment of Foot Bentinck then purchased promotion to Lieutenant and subsequently Captain in the 24th Light Dragoons. Placed on half-pay Bentinck was attached to the combined Russian and Austrian army in Italy during the War of the Second Coalition during which period he participated in the battles of Novi (1799) and Marengo (1800) as well as being present at the Siege of Alexandria (1801).  Bentinck returned to full duty with the British army as a Captain in the 52nd Foot (the 24th Light Dragoons having been disbanded). In March 1804 he purchased a promotion to Major in the 45th Foot and a month later purchased promotion to Lieutenant colonel in the 7th Foot. The following year he exchanged his lieutenant colonelcy of the 7th Foot for an appointment as a company commander in the 1st Foot Guards. With the Guards Bentinck served in Sicily, was present at the Battle of Corunna (where his elder brother Lord William Bentinck commanded a brigade in the same division) and took part in the Walcheren Campaign before returning to Spain and Portugal for the remainder of the Peninsular War. Bentinck became Lieutenant colonel commanding the 1st Foot Guards in 1814 (a post he held until 1821) and was promoted to Major-general in 1819. Additionally in 1819 he was appointed Captain-commandant of the Mansfield troop of Volunteer Cavalry. Bentinck's final military appointment was the ceremonial role of Colonel of the Regiment of the 58th Foot.

Political career.

Cavendish-Bentinck was approached by his cousin, Thomas Thynne, 2nd Marquess of Bath about becoming a member of parliament (MP) after the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. Thynne and his family controlled the pocket borough of Weobley in Herefordshire and on agreeing Bentinck was returned unopposed for Weobley in 1816 succeeding William Bathurst who had been appointed a deputy Teller of the Receipt of the Exchequer. At the 1818 and 1820 general elections Cavendish-Bentinck was again returned unopposed for Weobley.  In 1824 Cavendish-Bentinck vacated his seat at Weobley at the request of the Marquess of Bath and was invited by the Duke of Wellington to become MP for Queenborough on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Queenborough was a rotten borough controlled by the interests of the Board of Ordnance which Wellington headed as Master-General of the Ordnance and Cavendish-Bentinck was returned as MP for Queenborough in March 1824. Despite its status as a rotten borough and being much controlled by the Board of Ordnance Queenborough did have independently minded voters and at the 1826 general election Cavendish-Bentinck was voted out of office.  A return to political life was considered through his wife's family, mostly her father William Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale who considered Cavendish-Bentenick for seats at Carlisle and Cockermouth, the latter was considered a pocket borough in Lonsdale's control. However Cavendish-Bentinck fell ill and he made no return to politics. Cavendish-Bentinck was an infrequent attender in the House of Commons but generally voted Tory along the wishes of his sponsors. He appears never to have spoken in Parliament and Hansard has no contributions by him recorded.

Personal life.

Cavendish-Bentinck married Lady Mary Lowther, second daughter of William Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale on 16 September 1820 and they had one son, George Augustus Frederick Cavendish-Bentinck born 9 July 1821. In 1826 Cavendish-Bentinck became ill with a rectal fissure and on medical advice travelled to Italy to recover but died in Rome on 10 February 1828.

Major-General Lord Frederick Cavendish-Bentinck (2 November 1781 – 10 February 1828) known as Lord Frederick Bentinck was a British soldier and politician.


Plot.

Anand Kumar is a lower-class student who has a passion in studies and is good at it. At a local competition felicitation, the local minister, Shriram Singh, proud of him, promises for help whenever needed.  Anand frequently goes to Banaras Hindu University's library to solve a foreign Math journal. One day, the manager finally catches him, and says that he has no right to read there. One staff member suggests him to get his article published in this journal and earn a free lifetime subscription to it. Anand goes to the post-office, where his father Rajendra works as the head, and posts a letter regarding the solution to a difficult Math problem that no one has been able to solve yet. He then gets featured in the journal for solving the problem, and gets a letter from Professor Richard of the University of Cambridge to join a program there. But Anand needs money to travel. He and Rajendra go to Shriram but he denies any promise. They both further try to collect money but remain helpless, and get depressed. One day, Rajendra dies of a heart attack. Anand refuses to go to Cambridge due to his father's death and financial condition.  He then sells papads in the city. One day, he meets Lallan Singh, an assistant of the local minister. Lallan takes Anand as a teacher in his coaching centre, Excellence Coaching Centre. There, Anand sees the plight of a boy who had to leave due to poverty. He thinks that these poor kids also have a right to study. Hence, he leaves Excellence and starts a separate tuition for poor kids, in which he enrolls 30 kids at a time. He teaches them to learn everything practically and have the concepts cleared in an easy and fun way. All this enrages Lallan, whose centre is facing criticism for not retaining Anand.  In course of the tuition, Anand gets immense help from his brother Pranav and his mother. Lallan and Shriram plan to have Anand killed so that his kids won't be entering IIT. Anand is hurt brutally by two of Lallan's henchmen, and is hospitalised, on the verge of death. He tells his students to then use their knowledge to defeat the goons sent by Shriram, while he is being treated. The students, in unity, use their knowledge and defeat the goons and Anand is treated successfully. The students take the IIT exam and all 30 students pass successfully.

Production.

Principal photography commenced in November 2017. Mrunal Thakur was cast opposite Hrithik Roshan in the film.

A set was erected in Mumbai at the cost of 10 crore to recreate Patna city of Bihar to facilitate shooting. In second schedule of Varanasi shooting, the film was shot at Banaras Hindu University in the end of June 2018. This was the first Hindi film that the university allowed to be shot at its campus. Filming was completed in September 2018. Television actor Nandish Sandhu made his film debut in the film; he played Roshan's younger brother.

Soundtrack.

Ajay Atul composed the music for the film and lyrics are written by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Vipin Nair of "The Hindu" gave the soundtrack 3.5/5, calling it a "pretty engaging soundtrack ". "The Times of India" based Debarati Sen, in her review, said the composers "do not fail to impress".

Marketing and release.

The first look posters of Hrithik Roshan from "Super 30" were unveiled on 5 September 2018 to coincide with the Teacher's Day in India. Second poster with new release date was revealed on 12 January 2019. Another look of Hrithik Roshan from the film unveiled in new poster on 2 June. The next day another poster with Roshan soaking in the rain of success with motto "Misaal Bano, Haqdaar Bano" () was released. one day later on 4 June official trailer of the film was released by Reliance Entertainment. It garnered 44.99 million views since its release on YouTube.  The film's producer reported that Hrithik Roshan will be accompanied by Anand Kumar for the promotion of "Super 30".

The film has been certified with a runtime of 155 mins by British Board of Film Classification and was released on 12 July 2019.

Reception.

Critical response.

The film received mixed reviews from critics.  Sreeparna Sengupta of "The Times of India" gave the film three and a half stars out of five, and praised Hrithik Roshan, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Srivastava and cinematography of Anay Goswami. She felt that "Super 30" conveyed the message that though education is the privilege of people with good economic background, if given the level field others too can shine equally. Concluding, she wrote "While the narrative does have its flaws, "Super 30" is a human drama and the story of a teacher who triumphs over the many challenges that life throws at him, to set an example for the world to see. Just for that it’s worth a watch." Writing for the "NDTV" Saibal Chatterjee, rated it with two stars out of five and felt that erratic screenplay of "Super 30" had'skimmed the surface of a massive mound of tangled issues', and that Hrithik Roshan was miscast as Anand Kumar. He opined that the major problem with the film was telling a true story, which was not convincing. He concluded the review as, "The idea to bronze up Hrithik Roshan so that he can impersonate Anand Kumar is anything but super: it is a formula that equals zero." Samrudhi Ghosh of "India Today" rated it with two and a half stars out of five, but praised the performances of Pankaj Tripathi and Aditya Srivastava. Ghosh felt the film was lengthy and had aroused the dramatics without need, saying "Under the guidance of math wizard Anand Kumar, his Super 30 turned out to be miracles. Under the guidance of Vikas Bahl, Hrithik Roshan's Super 30 is far from one."  Priyanka Sinha Jha of CNN-News18, disagreeing with Ghosh praises Roshan and ensemble of Pankaj Tripathi, Virendra Saxena, Nandish Sandhu and Aditya Srivastav for their performances. She feels that Roshan has given an admirable performance.
