Tommie Wayne Sisk (born April 12, 1942) is a former right-handed Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1962 to 1970 for the Pittsburgh Pirates, San Diego Padres and Chicago White Sox.

Originally signed as an amateur free agent by the Pirates in 1960, he quickly made his way to the big leagues. July 19, 1962 was the date of his major league debut, in which the 20-year-old did not fare too well. Although he started the game, he did not last more than two innings. After 1 innings pitched, three walks, two hits and three runs surrendered, he was out of the game, which was against the hapless 1962 New York Mets.

He improved during his first season (in which he was the seventh youngest player), however, posting a 4.08 ERA in five games, three of which he started.

1963 was perhaps his best year as a reliever. In 57 games, he posted a 2.92 ERA in 108 innings of work. He walked 45 batters, struck out 73 and had a 1–3 record. His 57 games in 1963 were the fourth most in the league.

In his third year in the big leagues, he really struggled — in 42 games, he posted a 6.16 ERA, allowing 91 hits in 61 innings of work.

He was used as both a starter and reliever in 1965 and 1966. He appeared in 38 games in the former year, starting 12 of those. He went 7–3 with a respectable 3.40 ERA. He spun a two-hitter that year, on September 20 against the team he made his big league debut against, the New York Mets. Although they got the better of him in their first matchup, Sisk was their master on September 20, 1965. The only two hits he allowed were a second-inning single by John Stephenson and a ninth-inning triple by Johnny Lewis.

In the latter year, he was used more as a starter, appearing in 34 games and starting 23 of those games. He went 10–5 with a 4.14 ERA. He had the sixth-best won-lost percentage in 1966, at .667.

1967 was perhaps the best season of his entire career. Used almost entirely as a starter (37 games, 31 started), he posted a 13–13 record with 11 complete games, 2 shutouts and a 3.34 ERA. In 207 innings, he allowed only six home runs and 196 hits. His 3.34 ERA was the best on his team, among all pitchers with at least 10 games started. He was tenth in the league in complete games that year. He was also fifth in the league in walks allowed (with 78) and ninth in losses.

Sisk went 5–5 with a 3.28 ERA in 1968. He appeared in 33 games, starting only 11 of them.

On March 28, 1969, Sisk was traded with Chris Cannizzaro to the Padres for Ron Davis and Bobby Klaus. With the Padres in 1969, he posted a 2–13 record in 53 games, 13 of which he started. His ERA was 4.78. As a new expansion team, the Padres struggled that year, and finished the season with a 52–110 record. Fellow reliever Gary Ross went 3–12, while starters Clay Kirby and Joe Niekro went 7–20 and 8–17, respectively.

Sisk was traded to the White Sox on March 30, 1970 for Jerry Nyman. He appeared in 17 games for the White Sox that year, almost entirely as a reliever (he only started one game). He posted a 1–1 record and a 5.40 ERA. He played his final big league game on June 14, 1970. The day after he played his final big league game, he was traded along with Buddy Bradford from the White Sox to the Cleveland Indians for Bob Miller and Barry Moore before the trade deadline on June 15, 1970.

Overall, Sisk went 40–49 in his nine-year career. He appeared in 316 games, 99 of which he started. Of those 99 games, he completed 19, and pitched four shutouts. He had 63 games finished and 10 saves. In 928 innings of work, he allowed 937 hits, 457 runs, 404 earned runs, 57 home runs and 358 walks. He struck out 441 batters and had a 3.92 ERA. He was a poor batter, hitting .094 in 235 career at-bats.

Le Truel (; ) is a commune in the Aveyron department in southern France. The village was in the ancient province of Rouergue where they spoke in the rouergat patois of Occitan.

Geography
The commune is on the southern edge of the Massif Central. The hamlets to the north have commanding views of the Cevennes and the Millau Viaduct, which is  to the west. The commune is approached along the D200 which connects it to the A75 autoroute. The D200 runs alongside the Tarn which has been dammed and provides the power for two hydro-electric generating plants, Jourdanie and Le Pouget.

Economy
The economy is rural and traditionally was based on the raising of sheep to produce milk for sheep cheeses such as Roquefort. The agriculture has diversified into the raising of veal calves.

Barrage du Truel
The Tarn has been dammed there and electricity is generated by two Kaplan turbines producing 27 KW.

Le Pouget

Adjacent to the Barrage du Truel at 275 metres, is the Le Pouget power station. It is powered by waters from the Lévézou plateau delivered by penstocks from the Lac de Villefranche-de-Panat and the Lac de Saint-Amans both at 727 m. Le Pouget delivers 440 MW.

Dualesc was an American four-piece rock band from Portland, Oregon, United States. The band was active from 1998 to 2006.

Biography
Dualesc formed in 1998, composed of singer Matt McMillan, guitarist Bryon Deisher and bassist Adam Hubka. Their original drummer, Tim Steiner, left in 1999 and was replaced by Marshall Tipton shortly thereafter. The band went through a couple early band names before eventually settling on Dualesc, a word the band created that was inspired by the idea of Cartesian Dualism. Dualesc recorded their first CD Oscillations in 2000. The disc eventually got into the hands of Richard Patrick from the band Filter. Patrick invited them to Chicago to record at his Abyssinian Sons Studios. Produced by Richard Patrick and Rae Dileo, Dualesc recorded an EP in early 2001 at the studio. Patrick liked the band so much that he played guitar on the song "Belief".

In early 2002, Dualesc was signed to Rise Records. They re-mastered the Richard Patrick EP and included six new songs for what would be their album titled Through the Floods, Not With Them.

Dualesc independently recorded and released their third release, titled Palisade Layer, in 2003. It included six new songs and a re-recording of an older song from Oscillations featuring a guest appearance from Chris Ruff of Kaddisfly on the song "I Don't Even Know You."

In 2004, Dualesc's bassist Adam Hubka left the band and was replaced by Rob Hillis. The new lineup spent the summer of 2004 in the studio working on their final album titled Lhasa the Birdcatcher - but the record never saw an official release and is not known to have been available for purchase. All of the songs from this album are now available for streaming through the band's website.

Dualesc played a handful of shows in Portland during 2004 and 2005 before eventually fading into hiatus sometime around 2006.

Strictly Leakage is a mixtape by American hip hop group Atmosphere. It was released as a free download through Rhymesayers Entertainment in 2007.

Reception
Jordan Selbo of City Pages gave Strictly Leakage an unfavorable review, saying, "[the] once-bright style Atmosphere became famous for is so established and well-tread that it has now become the status quo they once rebelled so infectiously against."

Writing for Impose, Blake Gillepsie wrote that "as much as Atmosphere rewind to simpler times with Strictly Leakage, Slug has a new writing approach, that of a wise elder that alienates him from his predominantly young audience."

On January 4, 2008, Strictly Leakage was listed by Wired as the "Best Free Download of the Week". On December 19, 2008, it was ranked at number 9 on NPR's "10 Best Mixtapes of the Year" list.

Raman Thediya Seethai () is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language drama film written and directed by K. P. Jagan. The film features an ensemble cast including Cheran, Pasupathy, Nithin Sathya, Vimala Raman, Remya Nambeeshan, Gajala, Navya Nair, and Karthika. The music was composed by Vidyasagar with cinematography by Rajesh Yadav and editing by Kola Bhaskar. The film released on 19 September 2008 to positive response and turned out as a success.

In 2012, the film was remade in Kannada as Gowri Puthra with Akshay.

Plot

The movie starts with Venugopal meeting Ranjitha, whose parents want them to get married. During their conversation, Venu informs Ranjitha that he stammers if he gets stressed and is also undergoing treatment for psychological problems while he was at school. Ranjitha gets scared hearing this and turns down the proposal.

Venu is a kindhearted person who manages his own wedding card business. He remains clear that the girl that he marries should know about his problem, and he does not want to marry someone by hiding his problem. Venu's mother arranges to meet another girl named Vidhya. Vidhya agrees for the wedding despite knowing Venu's problems. However, on the day before the wedding, Vidhya's lover Ramesh, with whom she has broken up, comes and apologizes. Vidhya changes her mind and elopes with Ramesh, which shocks both Venu and her father Manikkavel.

However, Venu cancels the wedding saying that he is not interested in marrying Vidhya, thereby hiding the truth that Vidhya has eloped with someone. Manikkavel feels proud seeing Venu and also feels bad that his daughter has missed such a kindhearted person in her life. Also, Manickavel apologizes to Venu for his daughter's behaviour and promises to find a suitable girl for Venu soon.

After so many girls rejecting Venu due to his stammering speech problem, Gayathri agrees to marry him. Venu also likes Gayathri, but he meets Gunasekhar, an auto driver who claims to be Gayathri's lover. Guna describes his one side love towards Gayathri to Venu and Manickavel while travelling in his auto without knowing that Venu has come to see Gayathri. Venu meets Gayathri and tells her that Guna loves her sincerely and advises her to accept his love. Gayathri also understands this and agrees to marry Guna.

On the other hand, there is a positive love story told between a visually challenged RJ named Nedumaran and Thamizhisai. Nedumaran anchors a radio program about the importance of facing life with a positive attitude, and Thamizhisai is a fan of Nedumaran's radio program. However, Thamizhisai is surprised to learn that Nedumaran is visually challenged. Despite this, she feels proud of him seeing his positive attitude towards life. They become good friends, and Thamizhisai proposes to Nedumaran, which he does not accept as he fears that her family members will not allow her to marry him. He later realizes her true love, and they both get married. Venu is a friend of Nedumaran and he is inspired by his positive tone in life.

Venu and Manikkavel travel to Nagercoil for a business visit. Venu is shocked by Vidhya's poverty. Venu leaves without informing Manikkavel to meet Vidhya and discovers that she is pregnant and Ramesh is in jail for involving in a clash with their neighbour. Vidhya works in a small school and struggles to lead a proper life without money. Venu feels bad seeing her condition and gives some money. He also takes her to a nearby private hospital for a check-up. To his surprise, Ranjitha works as a receptionist in that hospital. Venu introduces Vidhya as his friend and requests Ranjitha to assist her during her further check-ups, and he pays the hospital expenses.

As Vidhya's delivery date approaches, Venu decides to stay in Nagercoil for a few more days until she gives birth to the child, thereby assisting with the hospital formalities. Slowly, Venu befriends Ranjitha, and the two meet frequently. Vidhya gives birth to a baby, and Venu informs this to Manikkavel, who gets furious hearing this. Manikkavel gets emotional and scolds Venu for helping someone who ditched him on the day of wedding. However, Venu convinces Manikkavel and takes him to see his daughter. Ranjitha learns about Venu's great character and slowly, she falls in love.

Now, Venu and Manikkavel are set to meet a girl named Senthamarai who is a sub-inspector in Nagercoil. Venu informs this to Ranjitha, which shocks her. Ranjitha does not express her love towards Venu. Venu decides to secretly meet Senthamarai while she is on duty without informing her. Suddenly, violence erupts in the location, and Senthamarai starts hitting the protesters in order to control the crowd. She even hits Venu also without knowing that he has come to visit her. Venu feels guilty now and decides to cancel the meeting. While returning, he sees Ranjitha's house on the way. He decides to refresh there and then leave. However, Ranjitha proposes her love to Venu and apologizes for rejecting him at the beginning, not understanding his true character, which is more precious. Venu understands Ranjitha and decides to marry her.

Cast

Production

Casting
The film was announced in 2007, and the photo session was held at the time of launch. Gajala was selected as one of the leads. Kerala-based Remya Nambeesan was selected, and she joined in second schedule. Vimala Raman of Poi, Karthika of Thoothukudi, and Navya Nair were selected since the story needed five heroines. Pasupathy and Nithin Sathya were selected to play important roles.

Filming
Director Jagan said that "There are 78 scenes whereas there are 94 locations in the film" and added that "in most of the scenes there would be a small flashback and if this is taken into consideration then there are more locations in the film rather than scenes".

Controversy
The unit was highly criticized, when it had used the vehicle registration number of a revenue department officer without obtaining proper permissions. A complaint was filed with the police against director Cheran; however, no official complaint was later lodged.

In January 2008, the shooting of the film was in progress at Boothapandi in Kanyakumari district. During the shooting, 12 vehicles were involved, which were going to parade for a minister in the scene. Hundreds of people were gathered to watch this shoot in the village. The last vehicle, which was the jeep, hit an old woman Kuttralammal and she was thrown afar. She was admitted in a hospital, where she died the next day.

The local inspector registered a case against the driver of the jeep and the director. Shooting was cancelled.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack is composed by Vidyasagar, and it was well received. Balu Mahendra and Bhagyaraj released the audio, which was held in Sathyam Cinemas on 30 July 2008. During the audio release, Cheran made controversial statements about reporters by publishing rumours about him.

Critical reception
Rediff wrote:"There's a delicate balance between portraying a genuinely touching story and going overboard with emotions. And that's where Global One Studio Productions' Raman Thediya Seethai (Rama's Hunt for Seetha), directed by K P Jagannath, manages to be different". Behindwoods wrote:"The director needs to be appreciated for delivering a film without kissing or glamorous scenes. However, he could have tried to make the subject a bit more interesting". Sify wrote:"RTS is riveting cinema and exhibits emotional depth and is a clean feel-good family entertainer". Nowrunning wrote:"Minus violence and item numbers, 'Raman Thediya Seethai,' a feel good romance certainly entertains".

St Michael and All Angels Church is in the village of Little Leigh, Cheshire, England.  The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.  It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth.  It is one of three parish churches in the parish of Aston-by-Sutton, Little Leigh and Lower Whitley. The others being St Peter, Aston-by-Sutton and St Luke, Lower Whitley. Until 31 May 2013, the three were separate parishes united in a benefice along with  St Mark, Antrobus

History
Originally in the parish of Great Budworth, an ancient chapel of ease in Little Leigh was fully rebuilt in 1712 and was described as "a mean building of brick, standing defenceless in the highway". The west end of the chapel was used as the village school until a separate building was completed in 1840. The old chapel stood in what is now the churchyard.  The new church was built in 1879 to a design by Edmund Kirby.

Architecture

Exterior
The church is built in "fiery orange" brick with terracotta dressings.  The roof is of Welsh slate with an orange tile ridge.  The plan of the church consists of a four-bay nave with short transepts, a one-bay chancel, a south porch and a spire at the crossing.  It is in Gothic style.  The bays of the nave are divided alternately by buttresses and triangular-headed pilasters between which are paired lancet windows.  The spire is a large flèche with wooden louvred bell-openings on each face. Above these are lucarnes, a lead finial and a weathercock.

Interior
The interior of the church is brick and terracotta throughout.  In the chancel is a three-seat sedilia with a lancet above each seat.  The reredos is by Jabez Thompson, and depicts the Last Supper in terracotta.  The stained glass includes a mid-20th century window by Trena Cox.  The authors of the Buildings of England series consider that the east window is over-large, but that it is also "very successful".

External features
The lychgate is dated 1882 and is listed at Grade II. It consists of open timber framing and a hipped Lakeland slate roof.  The churchyard contains two neighbouring war graves of a soldier and an airman of World War II.

The NCAA College Division was a historic subdivision of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) consisting of member schools competing at a lower level of college sports. The NCAA initially divided schools into a College Division and a University Division. The College Division was split into two smaller groups in 1973 with the creation of NCAA Division II, which allows its members to award limited athletic scholarships, and Division III, which prohibits athletic scholarships.

The College Division began for purposes of college basketball. In August 1956, NCAA executive director Walter Byers announced that, starting in 1957, the NCAA would hold separate basketball tournaments for major schools and smaller colleges. Approximately 156 major schools competing in the "University Division" would compete for 24 spots in the University Division tournament, while 285 smaller schools in the "College Division" would compete for 32 spots in a separate tournament.

Plot
Born into a poor family, Suryakant Sarang grows up with few luxuries. Poor health keeps him away from school often, and that is when his elder brother, Chandrakant, introduces him to carrom. Winning the Junior Carrom Championship at 12 is not enough to keep Surya's fire for the sport burning through adolescence. Hopes for a job in Dubai replace the passion for carrom as Surya grows into a young man. Duped by a bogus overseas employment agency, Surya loses all his hard-earned money he had saved for going to Dubai. Surya is forced to cross paths with Jaleel. Since the 70's when the settlements in the ghetto began, Jaleel had acquired a strong hold in the area. He had his hands in every illicit activity since then. Feeding on the weaknesses of people, Jaleel was the self-proclaimed king of Malwani. Reintroduced to carrom by his childhood friend Zaid, this time to the carrom hustling scene, Surya starts playing again. Being cheated of his hard-earned money by the same man who had caused misery for many families, Surya decides to take on Jaleel on his turf. His patience and cool attitude are his biggest strengths, but life has its own ways of testing it.

Shri was the music producer and composed the original soundtrack. The album was released on 12 January 2010.

Release
Sukanya Varma of Rediff gave the film a rating of three out of five stars and opined that "An interesting film with a lot on its mind, Striker isn't comfort cinema but I will recommend it anyway". A critic from The Times of India gave the film the same rating and wrote that "Don't believe the lacklustre promos. The film has more meat -- and meaning -- than it promises". Sanjukta Sharma of Livemint gave the film a positive review and stated that "Striker is one of the good films of the year so far. It is not a breezy film or a candyfloss entertainer, but it’s surely an example of committed and adept film-making. There’s never enough of it".

Baldenheim () is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in the Alsace region of north-eastern France.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Baldenheimois or Baldenheimoises.

The commune has been awarded two flowers by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom.

Geography

Baldenheim is located in the canton of Sélestat and the arrondissement of Sélestat-Erstein in the centre of the Alsace region on the alluvial plain of the Rhine, 45 km south of Strasbourg, 26 km north by north-east of Colmar and 8 km east of Sélestat. Access to the commune is by the D605 from Hessenheim in the south which passes through the village and continues north to Muttersholtz. The D209 comes from Schwobsheim in the east and passes through the village continuing west to join the D21 near the commune border. The D208 goes south-west from the village to Mussig.

Natural environment
The commune is at the centre of a flat alluvial plain and is part of the Ried Natural Region. The water table is only 1.50 metres below the surface on average. Water pierces the clay layer and gives rise to waterways. The Ill river flows relatively calmly across the plain. Like all the rivers in Vosges it is subject to an oceanic regime which is characterized by high winter waters and low summer waters, contrary to the Rhine. The last catastrophic flood occurred in May 1983. The climate is of semi-continental type with about 600 mm of rain per year. Temperature differences are particularly marked: summers can be very hot and the winters harsh.

Landscape
The commune outside the urban area has five distinct types of landscape:
Suburban Village: orchards and gardens,
Rural Open Spaces: fields and woods,
Wetland: the Black Ried,
Banks of the Ill: the Grey Ried,
Forested areas.

About 80% of the utilized agricultural area is cultivated.

The Ill, the Blind and numerous streams flow north through the commune all eventually merging with the Ill which joins the Rhine at Plobsheim.

Toponymy
Bandenheim, 1182

History
There is a Merovingian and Carolingian Cemetery with a hundred graves which attest to the ancient occupation of the commune. Most of the tombs are shallow (between 0.50 and 0.60 metres below the topsoil) and contained no ornaments with disturbed skeletons indicating plundering long ago. Another group of burials are deeper (between 1.20 and 1.50 metres) and contained relatively rich ornaments (brooches in bronze and silver partitioned with garnet, glass beads, glass paste necklaces, amber necklaces, and other objects from the second half of the 6th century and the second third of the 7th century. The ornaments collected from Baldenheim are from a time period between 550 and 650.

Baldenheim appeared in a document from the second half of the 7th century in the form of Baldenheim Villa. The name of this village, according to legend, is that the Devil one day lost his hat. He refused to retrieve it saying B'haltene (keep it). The village did not have a name at that time and adopted this onomatopoeia. But the name Baldenheim does appear in the 9th century.

The Protestant Reformation was introduced in 1576. A castle was built in 1740 and destroyed in 1821. The Simultaneau in 1843 provoked a violent conflict between the two religious communities (Protestant and Catholic). In the 19th century there was significant growth in weaving and there were 150 weavers in the commune. In the last third of the 19th century, the cooperative movement developed in the commune. A savings bank was founded in 1890 and a dairy cooperative operated until 1981.

In 1324 the village belonged to the Duchy of Württemberg. It had then given in fief to the Rathsamhausen zum Stein family. Upon the extinction of this noble family, Louis XIV gave it to the engineer of Chamlay, leaving it for him to pay tribute to the Duke of Württemberg who, at the death of the commander of Chamlay passed the fief to the family of Sandersleben-Coligny. Before the French Revolution it was owned by the Waldner Freundstein family whose castle was demolished in 1820. From the 19th century home weaving occupied a very important place in the local economy.

Baldenheim is known for its festival of "Pfingstpflitteri" which was held for the tenth time in 1999.

The Merovingian helmet

In July 1902 Oscar Pfiffer discovered some objects in his field at Lange Gasse. A more thorough search uncovered a ceremonial helmet and other Merovingian objects. A study published in 1907 by R. Henning made Baldenheim the eponymous site for this type of helmet with thirty examples identified at this time.

The Baldenheim Helmet is now on display at the Museum of Archaeology in Strasbourg.

Demography
In 2017 the commune had 1,169 inhabitants.

Economy
The ratio of active population to total population of the commune has grown above the cantonal average. There is also evidence that unemployment has decreased.

Fruit and vegetables, flowers and plants are cultivated in the commune and there are a dozen pig farmers.

The number of farms has decreased but orchards are still important and Baldenheim is known for its "white apples of Baldenheim".

The village enjoys a relatively high level of economic activity and expansion. There are 440 jobs available in the commune to over 1000 inhabitants.

Culture and heritage

Civil heritage
The commune has many buildings and structures that are registered as historical monuments:
Farmhouses (16th-19th century)

Other sites of interest
The Town Hall is on the former location of the communal school which existed from 1600 which for a long time provided separate courses for Catholic and Protestant children. The building has no date of construction. It consists of a hard ground floor and a half-timbered second floor. The hipped roof recalls the style of the presbyteries of the region or of some mansions. Only the traditional steeple signals the administrative function of the building. The Town Hall contains a High-relief: Head of a Woman (Middle Ages) which is registered as an historical object.
A Gate at 27 Rue Principale (1728) is registered as an historical object.
An Empress Bench on D209 (19th century) is registered as an historical object.
A Commemorative Plaque at 1 Rue Principale (1557) is registered as an historical object.

Religious heritage
The commune has several religious buildings and sites that are registered as historical monuments:
The Cemetery (19th century). The Cemetery has three items that are registered as historical objects:
A Funeral Monument for G. F. Ericgson and J. F. S. Blinder (19th century)
A Funeral Monument for P. F. Kreig (1807)
The Ornaments in the Cemetery
The Lutheran Church (12th century). In the 7th century Baldenheim had a chapel or a church which was part of the property of Ebersmunster Abbey. The parish church is attested from 1371. The nave was enlarged during the Romanesque period or the beginning of the Gothic period. The Choir is from the 15th century. The bell tower was only accessible from within the choir. The slots for light were really Arrowslits and the presence of humpback stones in the corner stones, usually reserved for the military architecture, suggest a fortified building with a surveillance function. The Protestant Reformation was introduced in 1576 and resulted in changes to the building including the nave. Simultaneum or simultaneous worship was established in the middle of the 18th century. In 1749 the Catholics regained possession of the choir until the construction of a new Catholic church in 1938. The Lords of Baldenheim, who owned the village, attended the church since their lodgings hung like a balcony inside the choir. The access door of their lodging is still visible today. The Funeral plaques inside the church, made between the 15th and 18th century, show Alsatian noble history. Inside the church there are two tombstones for the Rathsamhausen family. In 1939 the return of exclusive Protestant worship lead to new works in the nave which were suspended because of World War II. The murals were updated during restoration work in 1992-1993 and date from the 14th and 15th centuries. Those in the choir were done using drawings by Martin Schongauer, the famous writer and Alsatian painter. This medieval painted decoration is of unique importance in Alsace. The church has many items that are registered as historical objects:
Monumental Paintings (14th-17th century). These paintings were probably made from the drawings of the famous Alsatian writer Martin Schongauer and were discovered during the restoration of the church in 1904. Other frescoes were found when working in the nave in 1939. Observations were then made and the paintings were covered with protective whitewash.

The Catholic Church of Saint-Louis (1937). In 1576 the Parish Church of Saint Blaise became Protestant. Around 1758 a simultaneum (simultaneous worship) was established with the patron saint Louis in honour of Louis XIV. In the 19th century the simultaneous pursuit of both faiths encountered difficulties. Both religions practiced simultaneously and alternately in the churches, conducted by the people in place. To prevent access to the choir by the Lutherans it was closed off by a grill. Similarly a large green curtain hid the tabernacle from their sight and, so as not to obstruct the view of the Catholic altar, the Lutherans equipped the curtain with wheels. The simultaneum lasted until 1938 when the new Catholic church was inaugurated. Violent clashes took place in 1843. The construction of a church dedicated to Catholic worship was then considered. The laying of the first stone was done only in 1937. It was Monseigneur Ruch, Bishop of Strasbourg, who came personally to consecrate Saint Louis church when it was completed in 1939, just before the start of World War II. The church has four items that are registered as historical objects:
A Sunburst Monstrance (19th century)
A Baptismal font (1766)
An Altar Lectern (1778)
The Furniture in the Church
A Protestant Presbytery (18th century)

Barembach is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in the Grand Est region of north-eastern France.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Barembachois or Barembachoises.

Geography
Barembach is located in a valley perpendicular to the Bruche valley some 25 km west by south-west of Illkirch and 30 km north-west of Sélestat at 350 metres above sea level. The Barembach Forest covers most of the commune with several summits including Pépinière (666 metres), Barraque des Bœufs (781 metres), Ordon Saxe (690 metres), and Haut de la Brûlée (715 metres). Access to the commune is by the D204 road from Grendelbruch in the north-east which passes through the north-eastern corner of the commune and continues to Schirmeck. Access to the village is by the D193 which branches off the D204 in the commune. The D1420 from Muhlbach-sur-Bruche in the north-east passes along the northern border as it goes south-west to Fouday.

The Barembach river rises in the south-east of the commune and flows north-west to join the Bruche just north-west of the commune. The Bornichon river rises in the south of the commune and flows north to join the Barembach at the village.

History
Barembach was completely destroyed in 1875 by a violent fire. After the reconstruction of the village almost immediately after the disaster, the economy first restarted with livestock and forestry. There were also mills and sawmills producing galoshes which later changed to weaving. An enterprise was set up by Camille Glaszmann which specialised in Theatrical property. The company was sold in 1964 and continued by Mecatherm who extended the buildings. Shortly before Liberation the village was the headquarters of Marshal Jean de Lattre de Tassigny and served as a springboard to free the region. Barembach previously included part of the commune of Rothau on the north shore of the Rothaine.

Barembach appears as Barenbach on the 1750 Cassini Map and the same on the 1790 version.

The name Barembach originated from the German Bach meaning "stream" and Bär meaning "bear".

Bassemberg () is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in the Alsace region of north-eastern France.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Bassembergeois or Bassembergeoises.

The commune has been awarded one flower by the National Council of Towns and Villages in Bloom in the Competition of cities and villages in Bloom.

Geography

Bassemberg is located 1 km south-west of Villé and 12 km north-west of Sélestat.  The commune covers 178 hectares and is divided into two distinct areas separated by the valley of Giessen:
On the north side is the southern slope of the Honel with an altitude of 475 m at Scheibenberg and 615 metres further west. Its steep slopes are covered with old cultivated forests.
On the south-west side the commune encroaches slightly on the right bank of the Giessen towards Comte-Ban (Eichmatt farm sector). Regular and a few steep slopes rise from 280 to 330 metres above sea level and are suitable for agriculture.

The village is 280 metres above sea level at the foot of the slope of the Honel. Its location close to Giessen does not protect it from flooding of the river.

Access to the commune is by the D39 road from Villé in the north-east which passes through the commune and continues to Fouchy. The D97 from Neuve-Église also passes through the south of the commune and continues to Fouchy.

The Giessen river forms part of the southern border as it flows to the east through the village and continues east to join the Ill north of Muttersholtz.

Geology
The commune lies in the coal basin of the valley of Villé.<ref>Gabriel Auguste Daubrée, [https://books.google.com/books?id=fTw4AAAAMAAJ&q=houille+vall%C3%A9e+vill%C3%A9&pg=PA77 Geological and mineralogical description of the department of Bas-Rhin], 1852, p. 60-79 .</ref>

Toponymy
In 1361 the area was called Bassenberg and became Bassemberg by the 18th century. The name may have come from an old German name Badubald meaning "the brave". Other interpretations may apply "der basse" meaning "wild boar": in this case a mountain boar.

Bassemberg appears as Bassemtrery on the 1750 Cassini Map and does not appear at all on the 1790 version.

History

A village belonging to Frederick Cuntzmann Hattstatt
The village was probably built in the Middle Ages on the ancient road connecting Villé to Saint-Dié-des-Vosges. The locality is mentioned for the first time in 1361 while it was in the hands of Frédéric de Cuntzmann de Hattstatt from a powerful Alsatian noble family. The village was probably formed around a mill and a bridge over the Scheer d'Urbeis. A statement from 1453 mentions a forest without mentioning vast grasslands around which for centuries serve as pretexts for many lawsuits with the neighbouring villages of Lalaye, Charbes, Fouchy, and Villé.

A settlement
After the end of conflicts that devastated the region (Armagnacs, War of the Peasants, Swedish War) Bassemberg adopted a regulation containing no less than 29 articles. This was in order to regulate rural policing and precisely specified rights to the forest, the vines, the shepherds, the horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, and even dogs. It was so precise that "any individual, married or not, who wants to keep household shall, as a good citizen, submit to legal obligations otherwise he must leave the village".

A Jewish community
In the 19th century Bassemberg had a small Jewish community which did not exist at the census of 1784 but had 21 people in 1850. A synagogue was established in 1832. Thereafter the small community moved to Villé.

The 1914-1918 war
The First World War transformed the life of the village which was on the route of the "Londonbahn" that ran from June 1917 until the armistice of 11 November 1918. There was also a train station and a building that served as an arms and equipment warehouse to be carried on the front line at Bassemberg. On 24 November 1918, a child from Bassemberg, Emile Waechter, 9 years old, was the victim of a fatal accident on the road while playing on a wagon with friends. During the First World War the village lost 13 inhabitants.

Second World War
The village lost 12 inhabitants during the Second World War.

Culture and heritage

Architecture

Bassemberg developed along the road from Villé to Lalaye. The buildings followed the shape of the village street in an S shape. Their placement took into account the presence of the river. The buildings located on the floodplain have placed their storerooms on the ground floor with the living areas on the first floor. The houses have adopted the layout of Vosges type farms. The buildings are generally parallel to the street and, successively starting from the front: a gable wall, an arched entrance to the cellar, an access door to the house, an arched door to the barn, and a stable door. Some buildings date back to the 18th century. They are mostly modest sized buildings. Often due to lack of space they were joined in groups of two or three.

Civil heritage

 Milestones. The southern part of the ancient forest of Honcourt Abbey was bordered by milestones in 1757 which served as a border between Bassemberg and Saint-Martin. On the boundary between Villé and Bassemberg there are also four milestones from 1769 with the emblem of Villé.
 Second Empire Bench. At the exit from Bassemberg towards Fouchy on the left of the D39 is a bench in good condition from the Second Empire. It is one of five benches that were preserved in 1854 in the Val de Villé. They were erected in honor of the Empress Eugénie de Montijo.

The commune has a number of buildings and sites that are registered as historical monuments:

The Town Hall and School Buildings (1838)
A Farmhouse at 53 Rue Principale (19th century) This farmhouse contains a Tympanum that is registered as an historical object.
A Farmhouse at 60 Rue Principale (1811)
A Farmhouse at 62 Rue Principale (1718)
A House at 67,68 Rue Principale (18th century)
Houses and Farms (20th century)

Religious heritage

The Church of Saint Quirin was probably built around an old chapel in the 16th or 17th century. Rebuilt in 1751, it was enlarged in 1867 when the village was experiencing a demographic expansion. Bassemberg was once a place of local pilgrimage for people with rheumatism coming to implore the help of Saint Quirin. The pilgrims came mostly from the Val de Villé and did not have the means to go to the village of Saint-Quirin in the Moselle where the saint's head rested in a reliquary. Reflecting the size of the village, Bassemberg has only a modest church dedicated to Saint Quirin - a Roman martyr. A painting 2X3m to the right in the nave recalls the baptism of a Roman tribune converted to Christianity with his daughter Balbina by Pope Alexander I (105-117). First martyred on a gridiron they cut off successively his hand, foot, and tongue before finally being beheaded. The church is lit by stained glass from the workshops of Ott Brothers of Strasbourg. Two wooden pillars support a balcony where the first organ was installed in 1897. Classed in 1928 as an "old instrument and worthless", it was removed in 1958 by Schwenkedel and replaced by a harmonium and electronic organ. The Church is registered as an historical monument. The Church contains many items that are registered as historical objects:
A Painting with frame: Baptism of the Tribune Quirin (1879)
The Furniture in the Church
A Monumental Cross: Christ on the Cross (1737)
A Chalice with box (18th century)
A Wayside Cross (1765)

Bassemberg has nine Calvaries still in perfect condition including five dating to the 18th century. The calvary in the old cemetery is the best preserved. Moved by the municipality for development, it is well protected by the long wall of the church. A finely carved niche surrounds the shaft where the inscription: Meint Testament Soll Sein Am / End Amen Jesus Maria und Joseph (My testament to my end must be Jesus, Mary and Joseph Amen). Below on the pedestal is engraved the year 1737. The Calvary is surrounded by the names of the victims of the two world wars.

Another cross from 1737 stands on the municipal boundary between Bassemberg and Breitenau near a reservoir. It unfortunately suffers from soiling due to two trees. It is a cross-milestone: the letters BB (Bassemberg / Breitenau) are engraved on the stock on either side of a floral pattern. At the foot is a milestone with arms that have been damaged by time and perhaps in the French Revolution. The coat of arms of Rathsamhausen Zum Stein, the one time owner of the lordship of Villé and that of the Grand Chapter of Strasbourg Cathedral, owner of Comte-Ban and therefore Breitenau. Another milestone of the same type is a little further on the way.

The Cemetery (1860) is registered as an historical monument. The movable items in the Cemetery are also registered as historical objects.

Notable people linked to the commune

Beinheim (; Alsatian: Bänem) is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in the Alsace region of northeastern France.

Geography

Beinheim lies on the A35 autoroute between Roppenheim and Seltz.  It is about 50 kilometres north of Strasbourg, near the German border.

History

In 884, Beinheim belonged to the Abbey of Honau, and is mentioned as such (as "Beinenheim") in a document of Charles the Fat.  As a former landgrave city with a castle, by the 15th century, Beinheim was no longer head of the Riet.

In 1255, Beinheim belonged to the baron of Fleckenstein, who sold it to the margrave of Bade in 1402 or 1404.  The margrave later introduced religious reform, which did not gain much of a hold.  In 1497 the margrave sold Beinheim to the Count Palatine.  In 1557 the count sold it back to the margrave, who maintained possession until the French Revolution.  The castle was demolished in 1687.

Shepton Beauchamp is a village and civil parish,  from Barrington and  north east of Ilminster between the Blackdown Hills and the Somerset Levels in the South Somerset district of Somerset, England.

History
The first part of the name of the village has Saxon origins meaning sheep settlement. The second part was added to honour the Beauchamp family (pronounced ‘Beecham’), who held the manor from the mid 12th century. The parish of Shepton Beauchamp was part of the South Petherton Hundred.

It passed to the Seymours in 1361, and Sir John Seymour lived here when High Sheriff of Somerset 1515–16, possibly with his young daughter Jane Seymour, later third Queen of Henry VIII.

In 1755 about half the land was in unenclosed strips, but enclosure by private agreement began in 1807 and was largely complete by 1850.

In 1791 the parish was described as having 85 houses and "lying in a rich, flat and inclosed country". The first census in 1801 recorded the population as 439, and the area of the parish was .

Governance
The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council.

The village falls within the Non-metropolitan district of South Somerset, which was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, having previously been part of Chard Rural District. The district council is responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism.

Somerset County Council is responsible for running the largest and most expensive local services such as education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, policing and  fire services, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning.

It is also part of the Yeovil county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

Church
The Church of St Michael, is built of local hamstone, and has 13th-century origins, although it has been extensively changed since then, with major renovation in 1865 by George Edmund Street. It has a tall three-stage tower with set-back buttresses ascending to the shafts of former pinnacles, set off with an embattled parapet and gargoyles. There are two-light traceried bell-chamber windows with stone grilles, continuing as blank openings on the ringing chamber below. There are clocks with Roman numerals to the west and south faces and a higher polygonal stair-turret to the north corner. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.

The former rectory, now called Beauchamp Manor, was built in 1874 for the rector V.S.S. Coles to house his curates and visitors.

School
The village school caters for children aged 4 to 11 years. It was built in 1856.

Anjathe () is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language neo-noir action thriller film written and directed by Mysskin and produced by V. Hitesh Jhabak. The film stars Narain, Prasanna, Ajmal Ameer, and Vijayalakshmi. The film opened to rave reviews for its technical expertise, avant-garde filmmaking, and for the performance of actor Prasanna. The film became a "blockbuster" at the box office. The composition of frames, selection of shots and its counter meaning in narration made Anjathe a perfect example of Tamil New Wave cinema. The film was remade in Kannada as Anjadiru (2009).

Plot
Sathyavan and Kripakaran are close friends living opposite each other in the police quarters in Chennai. Sathya is a rowdy, wasting his time drinking merrily and getting involved in petty fights. Though he and Kripa pass college with a first-class degree, Sathya has no interest in joining the police force. Kripa studies hard to become a Sub-Inspector and challenges Sathya to do the same. One day, Sathya gets into a big fight and his father bashes him. He brandishes Sathya and says that Kripa is the son he would rather have. Feeling insulted, Sathya enrolls for the Sub-Inspector exam at the last minute. His cousin's husband is the PA for a minister, and Sathya seeks out his help. Owing to his uncle's political connections, he passes the physical, written, and interview and becomes an SI. However, Kripa does not make it through despite being straightforward; this immediately creates a rift between the two. Sathya goes to training while Kripa's dad suffers a heart attack. Months later, Sathya is posted to a nearby station and returns home. Kripa's father lies to Sathya that he has gone to Mumbai, but Sathya finds him in the local bar, having become a drunkard.

The parallel is the story of Deena Dayalan and Loganathan, who extort money from businessmen through kidnappings. Before Sathya becomes a policeman, he beats up Daya for attempting to molest Kripa's sister Uthra, though none, including Kripa, knows of this.

Sathya gains fame by holding off knife-wielding men who come to kill an injured man at a hospital, though the man is killed later in the night. As a result, Sathya is drafted into a special task force to catch the gang members related to the crime. Meanwhile, Daya and Logu carry out two kidnappings, rape the victims on both occasions, and release them for ransom money. Kripa is beaten up by the police for a skirmish at the local bar; his father suffers a heart attack after getting his son back from the police station. At this point of time, Kripa is employed by Daya, mainly because the former is distraught and will fall easily to the lure of money and booze. In the third time, however, the police are informed, but the kidnappers find out by chance and change the drop off point at the last moment. They give the police the slip but narrowly avoid capture, with Kripa providing shelter for them in his house. Kripa joins along to get money for his father's angioplasty, though he does not realize until it is too late that he is doing illegal things and harming young children.

Meanwhile, Sathya identifies Daya from the characteristics, with a background check revealing that Daya was accused of raping his senior's wife in the army. Daya, Logu, and their accomplices are again almost caught when the police trace one of the accomplice's families. Daya kills his own man during this raid to avoid information being passed, and hatches a plan to escape to Bihar in a poultry van. Logu is killed by Daya upon learning that the former had hatched a plan to kill him. However, to escape to the city outskirts to rendezvous with the van, they hijack the Inspector-General's car with his two daughters inside. Switching soon to a disguised-dog van to get past check-posts with the two girls, Daya, Kripa, and another accomplice arrive at a sugarcane field. Sathya recognizes Kripa's voice from the ransom call he makes to the IG, and follows Uthra from the hospital, who has been instructed to bring a bag full of cash from their home (kept there by Daya), to the sugarcane field.

The plot to kidnap the IG's daughters is an elaborate ruse to divert the police force to the south of the city while they escape from the north. The special task force, who are in the south of the city, realize the plot and, upon learning that Sathya is alone in the north of the city, head in that direction. In the sugarcane fields, Kripa shows compassion towards the two girls, treating them softly. Upon hearing some noise in the field, Daya splits the group, doing so to meet up directly with Uthra, who has the money. He tries to rape her, but Sathya intervenes. A fist fight ensures, but the special task force comes upon them and kills Daya by setting it up as an encounter.

The two girls split and escape from the third accomplice, only for one of them to be recaptured by him, but is let off being too tiring to carry. Kripa and the third accomplice try to run away, with Uthra behind him. Just as he leaves her to escape, she reveals that she is in love with Sathya and uses the situation to handcuff herself to Kripa to avoid him from escaping. In the end, Sathya shoots Kripa in self-defense and to save one of the IG's daughters from being shot. When Kripa lies on Sathya's lap shot, Kripa finds a ring he once gifted to Sathya on his birthday, which Kripa believed was thrown away by Sathya when he was drunk while partying at the bar, which in turn wets Kripa's eye and dies. The ending scenes of the film show Sathya and Uthra getting married and having a son, whom they name Kripa.

Production
After Mysskin had completed and released his maiden venture Chithiram Pesuthadi in 2006, he wrote the script for Nandalala for eight months, which was supposed to be his next directorial. A. M. Ratnam was initially to produce the film, for which his son Ravi Krishna was to play the lead role. Despite completing a photo shoot with Ravi Krishna, the film was shelved, since Ratnam opted out, after he incurred heavy losses with his previous productions. Mysskin decided to postpone the project, since "nobody was interested", and instead wrote a new story and commenced a new project, Anjathe with 4.5 crore budget, which itself was a result of Mysskin's anger. Nandhalala was initially Sneghidha's debut Tamil film, for which Mysskin had signed her in 2006 already, but with the film getting postponed, she made her first appearance in Anjathe that Mysskin decided to direct instead.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by Sundar C. Babu in his second collaboration with director Mysskin after Chithiram Pesuthadi.
The first lines of Kaththazha Kannaala are based on the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan rendition of the song Sanson Ki Mala Pe.

Box office
 The film was a commercial success grossing 1.68 crore at the Chennai box office.

Awards

Reception
Nandhu Sundaram of Rediff.com gave the film 4 out of 5 and called the film the "Best Tamil Movie so far." A critic from Behindwood gave the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "Not a bad follow up to Chitiram at all."

Betschdorf () is a commune in the Bas-Rhin department in Grand Est in northeastern France.

It is located about 45 km north-northeast of Strasbourg on the northern edge of the Forêt de Haguenau, the largest undivided forest in France. Betschdorf is a center of craft pottery manufacture, especially salt-glazed stoneware.

History
The vicinity has been inhabited since neolithic times. In 1912, stelae dedicated to the Roman gods Mars and Diana were discovered in the municipal forest.

A document dated 733 refers to a place called Batenondovilla near modern Betschdorf. The 7th-9th century Traditiones Wizenburgenses, chronicles of the Benedictine monastery of Wissembourg, mention a donation by Helphant of Batanesheim, grandson of Battacho.

Mention of twin villages begins in the early 14th century. A 1363 document is the first to use the names Oberbetschdorf and Niederbetschdorf (Upper and Lower Betschdorf). The two villages formed part of a district called the Hattgau, which became property of the count of Hanau in 1480. His successors, the counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg, retained property rights after the area fell under French control via the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, and were inherited by the landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt in 1736. The area remained largely German-speaking and Lutheran under Bourbon rule.

Pottery industry
The development of Betschdorf as a pottery making center dates from the period 1706–1717, when immigrants from the Rhineland began making stoneware in Oberbetschdorf. The French Revolution caused an exodus of potters to Germany, but the First Empire brought a return and a business boom. During this period the potters formed a business district along the Rue de Potiers (Potters' Street).

The two Betschdorfs passed into German hands after the Franco-Prussian War. French markets dried up, and once again the pottery business went into decline. Back in France after World War I, the housewares pottery business ran into stiff competition from high-volume industrial producers. Local potters began a transition to more highly decorated art pottery, still in the city's traditional blue and gray colors. This is their primary market today.

Consolidation
In 1971, following an act of the French Parliament to provide incentives for the merger of communes, the villages of Oberbetschdorf and Niederbetschdorf merged, ending nearly 750 years of separate existence. The following year, the nearby villages of Kuhlendorf, Reimerswiller and Schwabwiller also merged into Betschdorf.

Arai En 305-il Kadavul () is a 2008 Tamil-language fantasy comedy film directed by Chimbu Deven, who earlier directed Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikecei, starring Vadivelu. A remake of the 2003 Hollywood film Bruce Almighty, the film stars Prakash Raj, Santhanam alongside Ganja Karuppu, Jyothirmayi, and Madhumitha. An ensemble supporting cast including Sampath Raj, Madhan Bob, Rajesh, M. S. Bhaskar, Periyar Dasan, and Ilavarasu appears in supporting roles.

The movie is produced by Shankar's S Pictures. The music of the film was composed by Vidyasagar with cinematography by Soundarrajan and editing by Sasi Kumar.

The storyline of the film was that the whole universe is a computer simulation controlled by a supercomputer and God is the one who has access to it. Upon the film's release on 18 April 2008, it received mixed reviews, along  Santhanam's acting was praised by the critics. The film has also been dubbed in Telugu with the titie Gadi No.305 Lo Devudu.

Plot
Raasu (Santhanam) and Mokkai (Ganja Karuppu) are youngsters sharing a hostel with a diverse group of people. Those people include Professor Mani (Madhan Bob), a staunch atheist named Thanjai Rudran (Rajesh), a poet, and other unemployed, struggling men. Raasu, who works in a coffee shop, is in love with Mahishasuramardhini (Madhumitha), but she seemingly ignores all his advances. Raasu was even attacked by her brother after hanging around her house for extended periods of time. Mokkai, who is unemployed due to his lack of education and does whatever job that he can find, dreams of marrying his uncle's daughter (cousin) back in his village.

After a particularly bad day where Mokkai is arrested and beaten by female police officers and Raasu's lies of being in a well-paid job are uncovered (to Mahishasuramardhini's disgust), the two are also kicked out of the hostel by the owner due to the inability to pay rent. On their last night, both vent their frustration at Kadavul (God) after heavy drinking. Both are shocked when Kadavul (Prakash Raj) appears in front of them. Mistaking Him for another unemployed fellow, the two head back to their hostel room only to find Him waiting for them in it, waving aside this miracle, all three fall asleep. The next morning, Kadavul finally manages to convince Raasu and Mokkai of His true identity after appearing in the forms of Vishnu, Jesus, and Buddha.

Armed with a "galaxy box" (access to a supercomputer) that is the source of His power, Kadavul makes a deal with Raasu and Mokkai. He will spend time with the two (under the name of Arnold and the identity of both Raasu and Mokkai's uncle), observing their day-to-day routines while advising them in the process, to see whether it is truly His fault for their poor standard of living, or their own. Arnold also manages to persuade the hostel owner to extend Raasu and Mokkai's stay for a week, while their bet is undertaken.

During the allotted time, both Raasu and Mokkai learn a great deal through Arnold's own actions and His teachings. In the meantime, Wellesley Prabhu (Ilavarasu), another hostel inhabitant, accidentally discovers "Arnold's" true identity, but is persuaded to keep silent. However, Arnold is in for a shock when on His last night with them, Raasu and Mokkai steal His "galaxy box" and use it to improve their lives. To Prabhu's despair, the true God is forced to lead an ordinary (yet underprivileged) life in the hostel. Raasu and Mokkai meanwhile find that their families, despite their gifts, remain highly suspicious of their wealth and ungrateful as well. They then start to use the box to inflict suffering on their past employers and those who refused to give them jobs. Ultimately, Raasu is once again rejected by Mahishasuramardhini, who turns out to be a prostitute, and throws the box into a bin in shock. Prabhu later recovers the box and hands it back over to Arnold. Although forgiven, Raasu and Mokkai feel deep regret for their actions and promise to turn their lives around, which they duly do. Both of them become successful people in later life, along with Prabhu and various other characters.

A few years later, Arnold once again comes to the same room, to help another group of youngsters staying there and lamenting their current situation. This time, Arnold keeps His "galaxy box" bound in chains in His pocket to make sure that it is not stolen or misused like before. Arnold smiles at the camera as the film ends.

Soundtrack

The music of the movie has been composed by Vidyasagar.

Production
The film was shot in 82 days. A dedicated team visited nearly 800 bachelor mansions around Chennai before shortlisting on the one for the final shoot. Apart from Chennai, the crew also shot in Ambasamutharam, Achan Kovil in Kerala.

Reception
The film received mixed reviews from critics; Rediff wrote "Yes, it's chock-full of comedy. But it makes you think, as well. A must-watch". Sify stated that it "is too melodramatic, mushy and slow, needs urgent trimming. Let us hope that Chimbudevan gets a better script where he will play to his strengths, next time around." Behindwoods wrote "Simbudevan seems to have begun making an attempt to classify the movie - either into a children’s movie or a full-length all-class comedy entertainer- and then given up in the end, leaving his comedy with an identity crisis."
