Eupackardia is a monotypic moth genus in the family Saturniidae erected by Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell in 1912. Its only species, Eupackardia calleta, the calleta silkmoth, was described by John O. Westwood in 1853. It is found in Mexico, Guatemala, as well as in the states such as; Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

The wingspan is normally , however, some specimens have been reported to exceed 5 inches.

The larvae mainly feed on Fraxinus species, Leucophyllum frutescens, Sapium biloculare and Fouquieria splendens.

Description

The adult calleta silkmoth has a black body with a red collar and red on the back of the thorax. The wings, which normally span 8-11 centimetres, are black with conspicuous white post-median lines which happen to be wider in females. They can also have large triangular white spots on their wings however, some may not.

Caterpillars or larvae are normally bright green in colour with white stripes as well as have black scoli sets (spike-like projections) with blue and orange bases, though these colours may vary.

These larvae are normally very brightly coloured because they contain biogenetic chemicals that help to repel predators.

Life cycle
Adult E. calleta emerge in the evening and may be mating as early as 7:30 am the next morning. Males are diurnal while females are nocturnal. Females lay eggs starting at dusk of the same day and the eggs are deposited in clumps on surfaces of host plant leaves. Caterpillars spray a defensive secretion from their integumental glands. Young caterpillars, typically the 1st to 3rd larval stages, feed gregariously, while the older caterpillars of the 4th and 5th larval stages are usually solitary feeders.

Cocoons are normally spun near the ground and in the shade and is attached to a twig by a short silken loop.

Diet
Eupackardia calleta caterpillars feed on ceniza (Leucophyllum frutescens), ash (Fraxinus), Mexican jumping bean (Sapium biloculare) and ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens), while adults do not feed at all.

Habitat, season and distribution
Eupackardia calleta ranges across southern Texas, Mexico, Guatemala, Arizona, and New Mexico. In the southeastern mountains of Arizona they are mostly seen from July to August. In central Arizona to Mexico they are seen from October to January, and in South Texas they are seen from September to November as well as March to April.

They normally make their habitats in thorn scrubs, foothills and canyons of desert mountain ranges and dry deserts. {

Threats

Predators

Raccoons, opossum and possibly other species of the order Rodentia tend to tear apart the cocoons of the calleta silkmoth. The larvae secrete a defensive chemical protection that normally wards off predators, except in the case of wasps, which tend to be unaffected by the larvae's protection.

Parasitoids
A parasitoid is an insect that completes its larval development within the body of another insect, eventually killing its host. The most common parasitoid is the wasp. Compared to other large Saturniidea, E. calleta does not appear to be attacked by many parasitoid species, however some reports have been seen.

Uses of Eupackardia calleta cocoons
The cocoons of Eupackardia calleta are often used for ankle rattles and medicinal necklaces in certain American Indian ceremonies. The Yaqui Indians in Arizona and Mexico for example, call these rattles "tenabares", or "tenevoim". They are made in pairs and worn around the ankles or on both lower legs.

With current network management technologies, management functions typically reside outside the network in management stations and servers, which interact with network elements and devices via network protocols for management, in order to execute management tasks, including fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security management, or, short (FCAPS). Most of these tasks are performed on a per-device basis. During network operation, for instance, a management station periodically polls individual devices in its domain for the values of local variables, such as devices counters or performance parameters. These variables are then processed on the management station to compute an estimate of a network-wide state, which is analyzed and acted upon by management applications. This paradigm of interaction between the management system and managed system underlies traditional management frameworks and protocols, including SNMP, TMN  and OSI-SM.

In the view of Future Internet activities in the research communities around the globe, the network management of a Future Internet is of major concern in the view of requiring more self-management, more automation of the management, and easier use of management tools. In-network management has been developed and discussed in a larger community gathered around project partners involved in the EU FP7 project 4WARD, EU project AutoI and EU project UniverSELF.

The in-network (In-bound) management vision

In-network management (INM) supports management operations by the means of a highly distributed architecture. The main objective is the design of management functions that are located in- or close to the network elements and services to be managed, in most of the cases co-located on the same nodes; as target approach, they would be co-designed with the network elements and services. The vision of the INM paradigm of embedding management capabilities in the network.  The benefit of the resulting distributed in-bound network management architecture - is the inherent support for self-management features, integral automation and autonomicity capabilities, easier use of management tools and empowering the network with inbuilt cognition and intelligence. Additional benefits include reduction and optimisation in the amount of external management interactions, which is key to the minimization of manual interaction and the sustaining of manageability of large networked systems and moving from a managed object paradigm to one of management by objective.

The design space of INM is spanned along seven axes:

 Along the degree of embedding: Management processes and functions can be implemented as external, separated, integrated, or inherent management capabilities of the network or services. Integrated is weaker than inherent in that instead of indistinguishable management functionality, it designates visible and modular management capabilities, but which are still closely related to and integrated with specific services. Separated management processes are those that are more decoupled from the service, and include, for example, weakly distributed management approaches. External management processes include traditional network management paradigms widely used today.
 Along the degree of autonomy, the INM architecture allows for different degrees of autonomous management, from manual to fully autonomous processes. Manual refers to the direct manual manipulation of management parameters, such as manual routing configurations. Automated management can be typically found in the application of management scripts. Autonomic Networking and autonomous degrees include intelligence that allows the system to govern its own behavior in terms of network management.
 Along the degree of abstraction, different levels of management according to the telecommunications management network (TMN) functional hierarchy  can be adopted. This dimension leads to a reduction in the amount of external management interactions, which is key to the minimization of manual interaction and the sustaining of manageability of large networked systems. Specifically, this dimension can be understood as moving from a managed object paradigm to one of management by objective.
 Along the degree of automation from manual to fully automatic processes and operations: Manual management operations refer to the direct manual manipulation of management parameters, such as manual routing configurations. Automated management operations can be typically found in the application of management scripts.
 Along the degree of autonomicity: it includes levels of intelligence and cognition that allows the system to govern its own behaviour in terms of network and service management.
 Along the degree of orchestration: it allows cooperation and interworking of closed control loops specific to different management functions and operations.
 Along the degree of extensibility: it refers to the ability to extend a system and the level of effort and complexity required to realize an extension. Extensions can be through as the addition of new functionality, new characteristics or through modification of existing functionality and characteristics, while minimizing impact to existing system functions; the degree of extensibility covers Plug_and_Play/Unplug_and_Play approaches, on demand deployment of management functionality and dynamic programmability of management functions.

UMF – Unified Management Framework is being developed by the UniverSelf project, as the means of integrating the design space for INM.

Naanayam (lit. coin or integrity) is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language heist thriller film written and directed by Shakti Soundar Rajan in his directorial debut. Produced by Atharsh Capital Film Works, the film stars Prasanna as the protagonist; Sibiraj as the antagonist; singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam;  Ramya Raj, who has appeared in the films Sandai and Thee; and debutante Yasmin. The film, which has songs by Subramaniapuram fame composer James Vasanthan and score by  Thaman, was released on 14 January 2010.

Plot
The plot opens with the introduction of Ravi (Prasanna), an electronics engineer who introduces himself as a youthful guy who aspires to become a businessman. He meets Viswanath (S. P. Balasubrahmanyam), the CEO of Trust Bank, in a golf course when he fights to grab a bag belonging to Viswanath from a stranger. Ravi saves Viswanath and chases the stranger. He is unable to catch the man but gets a glimpse of his face. Viswanath thanks Ravi, offers him a job in his bank, and also assures to provide a loan of Rs. 2 crores to start his own business. The bank promotes its new branch as the "world's safest bank" with the security locker designed by Ravi. Ravi works in Trust Bank for five years, but his loan approval gets rejected so many times despite Viswanath's attempts to get it approved.

Ravi meets a girl named Nandhini (Ramya Raj), a divorced news reporter, in a golf club and they become friends. Slowly, love blossoms between them. However, Ravi, once during his date with Nandhini, is attacked by Nandhini's ex-husband Raghu. He counterattacks him and goes home. At home, Ravi meets Fareed (Sibiraj), who tells that Ravi killed Raghu and that there are evidences to prove. Fareed also kidnaps Nandhini. Ravi is confident that he did not kill Raghu, but he has to obey the words of helping them rob the bank to save himself and Nandhini.

Fareed says that he is an ex-employee of Trust Bank and was fired by Viswanath for fund mismanagement. So, Fareed wants to take revenge on Viswanath by robbing Trust Bank, which will negatively impact its trustworthiness, and he wants Ravi to help him as he is the one behind the safety system design. Ravi and Fareed plan to rob the bank, which has infrared lasers and a four-leveled lock system vault. Meanwhile, Ravi records the conversations going on between them and hands it over to his assistant Devaki to save himself. Ravi demands Rs. 2 Crore, the photographic evidences of the murder from the robbers before the theft. Fareed initially gives it but takes it back and gives Ravi a bag similar to it.

Ravi discloses all the security systems to enter the vault, and Fareed and his men enter the vault. However, Ravi did not inform them about a secret exit in the vault, and he makes a plan to get Fareed and his men trapped. Ravi suddenly escapes through the secret exit, locks others inside the vault, and rushes to meet Viswanath, where he also sees Nandhini with him. Ravi gets shocked seeing Nandhini along with Viswanath and gets to know the truth. The robbery is actually a plan of Viswanath, who did it in order to grab the bag, which has evidences of his illegal affair with Nandhini, who is actually named Eswari. The stranger took pictures of Viswanath and Eswari and blackmails Viswanath for money. The stranger also safely places the evidence in Trust Bank's locker. To steal the evidence, Viswanath planned a robbery with Fareed, Eswari's brother. The man who Ravi was told to be killed by him was actually a new employee in Fareed's gang. Viswanath apologizes to Ravi for the trouble created by him and commits suicide. Fareed and Eswari are arrested, and all of Fareed's gang members die inside the vault due to lack of oxygen.

Ravi destroys all the evidence of the illegal affair of Viswanath and finds Rs. 2 Crore in the back side of his car, which actually was demanded by him from Fareed, and which he uses to start his new business.

Production
In November 2008, the film began its pre-production with Prasanna being signed on to play the lead role, whilst before the end of the year, Sibiraj and Ramya Raj also signed on to be a part of Charan's project. The film progressed quietly through 2008 under the working title of Kavasam, with the subject being described as a "crime thriller". The music for the film released in November 2009, whilst the film released the following January coinciding with the Tamil festival of Thai Pongal.

Soundtrack

Film score (BGM) was composed by Thaman of Eeram and Mundhinam Paartheney fame. The songs were composed by James Vasanthan of Subramaniapuram and Pasanga fame, who for the first time scores music for a thriller film. Actor Silambarasan and music composer Devi Sri Prasad sung together for one song, apart from the likes of S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, K. S. Chithra and Sunitha Sarathy.

Release

Box office
The film opened in most centres across Chennai, Tamil Nadu to a mixed opening. The filmgrossed Rs. 7,99,274 in the opening weekend in Chennai

Reviews
Upon release, the film generally received mixed reviews. In reference to the performances, Rediff claimed that Prasanna is "sweet, savvy, intense and desperate as the situation demands" and that his diction "too is superb". It went on to claim that Sibiraj, who makes more of an impact, despite that "he apes his esteemed father often, especially in tone of voice and modulation" but "he seems to have had a blast doing it". Ramya Raj has "more than one role to play, and does justice to it" whilst SPB plays his role with "élan". In reference to the script, Behindwoods criticized it by labelling that "the script employs countless twists and turns, although only a few of them really work – before which the damage of ruining it is already done", whilst also mentioning that "Naanayam also feels like it is inspired from a vaguely familiar Hollywood movie."

Melianthus major, the giant honey flower or kruidjie-roer-my-nie (Afrikaans for 'herb-touch-me-not'), is a species of flowering plant in the family Francoaceae. It is an evergreen suckering shrub, endemic to South Africa and naturalised in India, Australia and New Zealand. It grows to  tall by  wide, with pinnate blue-green leaves  long, which have a distinctive musky odour. Dark red, nectar-laden flower spikes,  in length, appear in spring, followed by green pods. All parts of the plants are poisonous.

The Latin binomial Melianthus major literally means "large honey flower". The plant is also sometimes called honeybush (along with many other plants).

In cultivation this plant requires a sheltered location and may also need a protective winter mulch in temperate regions. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Chinthurst School is an independent co-educational nursery, pre-preparatory and preparatory school in semi-rural surroundings in the village of Tadworth, Surrey, England, 15 miles south of the centre of London. As a member of the RGS Group, the school is associated with Reigate Grammar School and Reigate St Mary's School. Its pupils' ages range from two to eleven years.

School characteristics
Approximately 200 boys and girls are enrolled at the school, which has the corporate structure of a charitable trust and is a member of the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools. Entry is non-selective, and classes are small and of mixed abilities. The school became co-educational in 2012, reversing a change to boys-only enrolment that had been made in the 1950s. In 2015, the school lowered its leaving age from 13 to 11 on account of the lowering of entry ages by independent secondary schools nearby.

The school's separate buildings for preparatory and pre-preparatory years are set around central playing fields. Facilities include a multi-purpose sports hall, indoor heated swimming pool, and floodlit artificially turfed courts. Additional playing fields are off-site. Classrooms have interactive whiteboards and WiFi connects all classrooms.

The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) report of its integrated inspection of Chinthurst School in December 2014 stated that "Throughout the school, the curriculum ... exceeds the range of subjects usually found in English schools. ... Sport and physical education are notable strengths. ... The provision of extra-curricular clubs and activities, including for children in the [Early Years Foundation Stage], is excellent."

Academic and other achievements
Chinthurst School was assessed by the ISI's 2016 integrated inspection report as being "successful in meeting its aim to produce well-rounded individuals" and "very successful in preparing pupils for their move to senior schools". The school "provides a broad and balanced curriculum with an excellent range of extra-curricular activities" and "succeeds extremely well in fulfilling its aim to teach consideration for others, traditional values and respect for the community ... pupils are extremely well behaved, and relationships between pupils and staff and among the pupils themselves are excellent." The school reports outperforming national standards for both state and independent schools.

Pupils were also assessed as achieving well in music, art and drama and in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. In recent years, almost all leavers have gained places at their first-choice senior school and a good proportion of pupils have won scholarships and awards. In December 2016 the externally moderated Profile Results for the Early Years Foundation Stage 2015–2016 were 100 per cent for each pupil in the Stage. In March 2017 the school reported that on the basis of their 11-plus examinations, its eighteen Year 6 pupils had so far received 38 offers of places to 15 independent and state schools, nearly half of which included awards for academics, sport, music, art and drama.

History
Chinthurst School was founded in 1908 by Miss Alice Katherine Atkins in a perfume factory. Two years later, the first dedicated school building was erected on farmland at the present site. Records from the school's early days have not survived. However, it is apparent that under Miss Atkins and her headmistress in the 1910s, Miss Thwaites, the establishment was principally a girls' school that accepted a limited number of boarders. The distinguished archaeologist Aileen Fox (then Aileen Henderson) remembered, on joining the school as an 11-year-old in 1918: Chinthurst was run by the formidable Miss Thwaites, and took some thirty girls, some of them boarders, between the ages of eight and fifteen. We were divided into three classes, mostly taught by Miss Thwaites ... a Dickensian figure, shabbily dressed, thin, erect, with a sallow complexion, a pointed nose, dark eyes and a penetrating voice. She was a good teacher though severe and had little patience with the mediocre or lazy child.

In 1934, a Major Bradley bought the school for his son and bride as a wedding present. Described as "liberal for the time", it appears to have been reasonably prosperous as a co-educational day and boarding school. More buildings were added in this period.

After the second world war, Chinthurst remained a co-educational day and boarding school until the Bradleys sold the school in 1953 to Mr Ronald Kelley and his wife, Joan. Mr Kelley remained headmaster until his retirement in 1977.

Within a few years of taking over, Ronald Kelley changed Chinthurst into a modern boys' prep school. In doing so, boarding was phased out and girls were no longer taught. In 1976, the school was changed from a proprietary business to an educational trust, and the Reverend Brian Batty became headmaster until 1982.

Headmaster Mr Trevor Egan and his wife, Heather, were appointed in 1983. Under their leadership for the next 26 years, the school thrived and expanded, offering much wider opportunities to the pupils than in the past.

Following Mr and Mrs Egan's retirement in 2009, Mr Ian Thorpe was appointed headmaster. From 2012, the school enrolled girls at all grades in response to demand.

Mr David Williams was appointed headmaster in September 2013. He was followed in April 2015 by Mr Tim Button, previously the School's deputy headmaster. In February 2017, Miss Cathy Trundle was appointed headteacher.

Integration with the RGS Group
On 20 February 2017, the RGS Group, comprising Reigate Grammar School (RGS) and Reigate St Mary's Preparatory and Choir School, announced "new long term commitments" under which Chinthurst School would operate in partnership with the group for mutual support, experience and expertise. Chinthurst's Chair of Governors said that "The landscape by which we operate has changed significantly; smaller preparatory schools increasingly need the resilience of being part of a larger entity" and added: "The children will benefit in many ways, including the option of an early offer [from Reigate Grammar School] if it is the school of choice. However, for those parents who wish their children to go to the many other [independent secondary] schools in the area, Chinthurst will continue to prepare them for the 11 plus [examination] as we do now."

The Chinthurst Educational Trust remained as the school's controlling corporate entity. As part of the introduced changes, four RGS nominees replaced all but two governors on the Chinthurst board; those two Chinthurst governors joined the Reigate Grammar School and Reigate St Mary's School board, together with two other former Chinthurst governors; and Cathy Trundle, the Deputy Head (Pastoral) at Reigate St Mary's replaced Chinthurst School's Headmaster, Tim Button.

Maharaja Udit Narayan Singh was the eldest surviving son of Maharaj Mahip Narayan Singh, Udit Narayan Singh Sahib Bahadur (1770 – 4 April 1835, r. 12 September 1795 – 4 April 1835) became the new king of Benares.

Early life
Maharaja Udit Narayan Singh was the eldest son of Maharaja Mahip Narayan Singh of Benares. Maharaja Kumar Deep Narayan Singh and Maharaja Kumar Prasiddh Narayan Singh were his younger brothers. The Princes were trained in Vedas, Sanskrit literature, Indian schools of philosophy, fine arts and poetry along with martial arts and Warcraft.

Ascending the Throne
Being eldest and most capable Maharaj Udit Narayan Singh succeeded to the throne but he was always accompanied by his brothers in his durbar and used to take all decisions with the council of his brothers. The trio setting together in the durbar are depicted in various contemporary paintings including the huge canvas of Holi durbar, as exhibited in the art gallery of Ramnagar Fort museum.

Rule and confrontation with the British
He was a nationalist and a benevolent ruler who refused to bow down against the anarchy and corruption of the company. He was even more averse to British dominion than his father and had regular confrontations with the company, who, in spite, falsely labeled him as an incapable administrator. He added grandeur to and formed the present shape of the world-famous Ramlila of Ramnagar which was a low-key affair at that time. He like his father, did not levy taxes on farmers and he established checkpoints that took taxes according to the number of goods that were taken to the city for selling and trading to encourage trade in finished goods, so as to check the drain of wealth from India. He was loved and revered by his people who established his statue at the Girija Bagh temple in PAC campus Ramnagar (which is also a part of Ramlila at Ramnagar). Britishers were not able to tolerate him, so conspired against him and under false charges confiscated all the lands of Benaras State and started ruthlessly exploiting the peasants. Unable to spectate it silently, the Maharaja, in 1828, petitioned the company to annul the 1794 agreement under which the Benaras State had lost the sarkars, and to press for their return to state control. However, the company, in accordance with its colonial intent, ordered a sham inquiry into Maharaj Udit Narayan Singh's personal affairs and his governance. As expected, the report backed the false charges of mismanagement. The company, taking advantage of its own fraud, confiscated the last remaining lands of the Maharaja and placed them under their control which was sold into permanent settlements as Zamindaries.

Ramlila of Ramnagar
As portrayed by the saint-poet Goswamami Tulsi Das in his epic Ramcharitmanas, considered as one of the holiest books in northern India. The epic narrates the legend of Lord Shree Ramchandra as an ideal human being. The Maharaja wanted this message of journey towards becoming an ideal human being to be spread in his subjects far and wide therefore he give expansion to the continuing Ram Leela tradition which was held as a low key affair limited only to singing of the verses of Ramcharitmanas and aarti. He converted it to a semi-dramatic form with illustrative action and explanatory dialogues

Later life
Unable to tolerate the ruthless colonial exploitation of poor farmers the Maharaja purchased these Zamindaries (all 96 Parganas) back, from under the table, and had the last laugh. He built the first dam of UP for the advancement of agriculture without imposing any additional cess/ tax on the beneficiary farmers for the same . Maharaja Udit Narayan Singh Saheb Bahadur died on 4 April 1835, aged 65, and was succeeded by his adopted son, Maharaja Ishwari Prasad Narayan Singh Sahib Bahadur.

"I Am Sylar" is the twenty-fourth and penultimate episode of the third season of the NBC superhero drama series Heroes and fifty-eighth episode overall. The episode aired on April 20, 2009. It is the penultimate episode of season 3, and volume 4.

Plot
The episode opens with the scene from the previous episode, showing Angela Petrelli and the group seeing Nathan Petrelli, actually Sylar, giving a press conference on TV. The episode then recounts what happened 18 hours earlier.

Sylar has an identity crisis after being forced by Emile Danko to impersonate an agent. Danko suggests Sylar find an "anchor" to remind himself of who he really is. Sylar finds one in his late mother's effects, and begins having conversations with her by taking her form. Sylar acquires an ability from a target of the agency, who had been contacted by "Rebel". Danko's agency tracks Rebel to an abandoned warehouse. Sylar reaches Micah first. Micah, however, offers help with his identity crisis. Sylar protects him, leading Danko's men away, and faking Micah's death. After Micah witnesses Sylar in a conversation with his mother, Sylar sends him off; before leaving, Micah proposes Sylar turn into Nathan Petrelli to convince the President to terminate the agency.

Matt Parkman contacts his ex-wife, Janice Parkman, telling her their son is safe. Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi plan to raid Building 26, and want Matt to join them, though he doesn't want to abandon his son. As he and his son reunite with Janice, Matt telepathically discovers Danko's men stationed outside her house, and tells Janice to leave. Initially intending to go with them, Matt changes his mind after seeing his police badge, deciding to help Hiro and Ando. As agents enter the house, Matt uses his telepathy to hide his family.

Hiro and Ando head to Isaac Mendez's old loft, where they plan to sound the alarm for Ando to be captured and Hiro to follow the men back to their headquarters. Soon Danko's men attack; Hiro stops time, but finds Ando unaffected, as he was touching him. Hiro tricks him into getting hit with taser darts, and dresses as one of the commandos to accompany them with the captured Ando to Building 26. On the way, Hiro slips up, forcing Ando to disable everyone in the van. They use a G.P.S. device to discover Building 26. Outside the building, Hiro attempts to stop time, but gets a headache and a large nosebleed. Elsewhere, Noah Bennet, Claire Bennet, and Angela Petrelli are stopped at a roadblock. A team of commando units moves in on them. Mohinder Suresh, still at Coyote Sands investigating his father's work, is also captured by Danko's agents.

Sylar visits Nathan's office, and finds his toothbrush, allowing him to contact his DNA and morph into him. Sylar then gives his press conference on TV. Nathan decides to confront him, and Peter also goes. Nathan meets Sylar in his office, where Sylar claims he will be a better version of him. As Sylar is about to kill Nathan, Nathan is shot with a taser dart by Danko, who orders Sylar to return to work as his agent, which Sylar refuses. Danko impales Sylar in the back of the head with a knife, but as he is about to call a clean-up crew, Sylar rises and removes the knife, unaffected.

Critical reception
Steve Heisler of The A.V. Club rated this episode a F.

Robert Canning of IGN gave the episode 7.5 out of 10.

Amy Louise Jackson (born 31 January 1992) is an English actress and model known for her work in Indian films, predominantly in Tamil films, along with a few Hindi, Telugu, English and Kannada films. A former Miss Teen World, Jackson has appeared in over fifteen films. She made her US debut in 2017 with Warner Brothers television production of DC Comics Supergirl as Imra Ardeen/ Saturn Girl. Jackson's most notable roles include her debut into the industry as Amy Wilkinson in Madrasapattinam (2010), Sarah in action film Singh Is Bliing (2015), and Nila in India's most expensive film 2.0 (2018).

She has won an Ananda Vikatan Cinema Award, a SIIMA Award, and a London Asian Film Festival award. She was featured in The Times of Indias "Most Desirable Women of 2014" as well as the "Most Promising Female Newcomers of 2012" list.

In 2009, Jackson won the Miss Teen World title in America. At the age of 15, she began her modeling career in the UK and has since worked with designers such as Hugo Boss, Carolina Herrera, JW Anderson, Bvlgari, and Cartier. In a twist of fate, Jackson was called to London to audition for the lead role in the Tamil-language period-drama Madrasapattinam (2010) directed by A. L. Vijay. Despite having had no previous acting experience, Jackson landed the role and thus began her career in India.

Jackson is a patron for charities such as "The Sneha Sargar Orphanage for girls". In 2018, she was honoured with the United Nations' International Day of The Girl Child award in London. Jackson is a proclaimed vegan animal rights advocate and has been an ambassador for PETA since 2016 as well as supporting The Elephant Family with their mission to aid human-animal conflict primarily in Asia.

Early life
Amy Louise Jackson was born on 31 January 1992 in Douglas on the Isle of Man, the daughter of Marguerita and Alan Jackson,  who divorced several years after Amy Jackson was born. She has an elder sister, Alicia, who is a school teacher. When she was two years old, the family returned to Liverpool and lived with Jackson's grandmother in Woolton so that her father could continue his career with BBC Radio Merseyside. Jackson attended St Edward's College from the age of 3 - 16. She had the intention of taking her A–Levels in English literature, philosophy and ethics before she was cast in her first film.

Career

Modelling
After winning the Miss Teen Liverpool and Miss Teen Great Britain pageants, Jackson won the title of Miss Teen World in 2009, which resulted in a modelling contract in the US. In 2009, Jackson started her modelling career with the Northern-based modelling agency, Boss Model Management, and then went on to sign with her London agency, Models 1. She won Miss Liverpool in 2010. She competed for the Miss England title in 2010 and was crowned the runner-up to Jessica Linley.

2010–2012: Breakthrough in Indian films

In 2010, Indian film producers spotted Jackson's photo on the Miss Teen World website and invited her to audition for the Tamil period-drama film Madrasapattinam (2010). Despite having had no previous acting experience, she was cast as the female lead opposite Arya. The film, set against the backdrop of 1947 India, tells the story of a British Governor's daughter who falls in love with a village boy. Jackson admitted that it was very difficult to learn the Tamil dialogues. The film was released on 9 July 2010; it was praised by critics and performed well at the box office, with Jackson gaining praise for her performance. Sify wrote, "It is an out and out Amy Jackson show. She is simply amazing to deliver lines in Tamil, and is one good reason to see the film". Behindwoods wrote, "The one who walks away with the top honours is Amy Jackson for a beautiful portrayal of a lady torn between her love and the mighty empire. She looks absolutely beautiful, emotes well through her expressive eyes and is able to earn the sympathy of the audiences during tough times". Rediff wrote, "Amy Jackson is almost perfect as the wide-eyed young girl who is seeing India for the first time, fascinated by its culture".

In 2011, she was signed by Gautham Vasudev Menon to play the female lead opposite Prateik Babbar in Ekk Deewana Tha (2012), the Hindi remake of the 2010 hit romantic drama film Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa. She essayed the role played by Trisha in the original, of Jessie, a Malayali Nasrani Christian who falls in love with a Hindu boy, but is prevented from pursuing the romance by her father. The film was released in February 2012. Jackson received praise for her performance and for her chemistry with Babbar, with BehindWoods stating that "she has done wonders," and the Times of India saying that "she never disappoints."

In September 2012, Jackson made her return to Tamil cinema with a supporting role in Thaandavam (2012), starring opposite Vikram and Anushka Shetty. She was signed for the film in 2011 and shooting took place in India and London, enabling Jackson to return to see her family and friends. It was her second collaboration with director A. L. Vijay after Madrasapattinam (2010). She played the role of Sarah Vinayagam, a British-born Anglo-Indian girl who wins the Miss London title. She reportedly dubbed her own dialogues in Tamil. She received her first nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress – Tamil at the 60th Filmfare Awards South ceremony.

2014–present
Jackson made her debut in Telugu cinema with the Vamshi Paidipally's Yevadu (2014) alongside Ram Charan and Shruti Haasan,  playing the role of Shruti. Jackson next starred as supermodel Diya in Shankar's romantic thriller film, whose title is simply I (2015), the biggest project in her career. The making of the film, one of the most costly Indian films to date, took over two-and-a-half years, with a major part of the film being shot in China. The film was released on 14 January 2015 and received a mixed critical response, although Jackson's performance received favorable reviews. Deccan Chronicle wrote that she was "simply superb. She is another highlight of the film and has given a mature performance", while Sify noted that she was "the biggest surprise packet in the film" and "perfect eye candy". Consequently, she was ranked #1 in The Times of India, Chennai Edition list of the most desirable women in 2014.
After I (2015), Jackson signed on to Prabhu Deva's Singh Is Bliing (2015), opposite Akshay Kumar. She had signed on to be part of Venkat Prabhu's supernatural thriller Masss (2015), but opted out of it later when the script and her character were changed. Instead, she signed on to Velraj's Thanga Magan (2015) alongside Dhanush and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

Soon after, Jackson starred in Thirukumaran's Gethu (2016), portraying an Anglo-Indian girl, for which she won positive reviews, . She has been shooting for a "gritty BBC drama series", on which she declined to further elaborate. She then portrayed the lead female role in Atlee's Theri (2016), featured alongside Vijay while portraying a Malayali teacher. Her performance received positive reviews and her role as a teacher was well appreciated. Upon release, the film went on to become one of the most profitable Tamil films of all time.

On 25 September 2017, it was announced that Jackson had been cast in her first Hollywood role as Imra Ardeen, aka Saturn Girl, in The CW's superhero drama series Supergirl (2017). The character made her first appearance in the third season. The series, based on DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros Television.

Jackson has played Sita in Prem's Kannada film The Villain (2018) alongside Shiva Rajkumar and Sudeep. She starred as the andro-humanoid robot Nila in Shankar's film 2.0 (2018) alongside Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar. After a four-year hiatus, Jackson returned to film with Acham Enbathu Illayae.

Chung Kuo, Cina (, "Zhongguo, China") is a 1972 Italian television documentary directed by Michelangelo Antonioni. Antonioni and his crew were invited to China and filmed for five weeks, beginning in Beijing and travelling southwards. The resulting film was attacked as slanderous by Chinese authorities and the Italian Communist Party.

Release
Chung Kuo was scheduled to be shown on at the Museum of Modern Art on December 26, 1972, as part of a series of films made for RAI, but the film was not ready for public showing. The film was aired on Italian television in three weekly parts in from January 24 to February 7, 1973.

Reception
Chung Kuo was well received in Italy, provoking discussion on "Antonioni's China" as well as screenings and airings in other countries. The film was also well-received when previewed by Chinese diplomats in Italy.

John J. O'Connor, writing in The New York Times, compared Chung Kuo (truncated to two hours for American television) favorably to the NBC-produced special The Forbidden City, commenting that the former "reaches a degree of sophistication that would appear to be beyond the capabilities or experience of most American television".

A year after the initial broadcast, the People's Daily published a scathing editorial titled A Vicious Motive, Despicable Tricks (), denouncing the film and accusing Antonioni of creating "viciously distorted scenes" in order to "slander China’s Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution and insult the Chinese people". The editorial was followed by a mass anti-Antonioni campaign, with activities including televised denouncements, written criticisms from around the country, and schoolchildren being taught anti-Antonioni songs. The campaign was later attributed to the Gang of Four. Antonioni was rehabilitated by the People's Daily in 1979. Chung Kuo was screened publicly for the first time in China in 2004 at the Beijing Film Academy.

Youssef Soukouna (born 20 April 1981 in Goutte d'Or, Paris), better known by his stage name Sefyu (, his first name in verlan), is a French rapper of Senegalese descent. He comes from Aulnay-sous-Bois, a city in the French department of Seine-Saint-Denis of which is located within the northern suburbs of Paris. Sefyu originally aspired to become a professional soccer player, but his dream was derailed after he sustained an injury whilst playing for English club Arsenal. He emerged upon the hip-hop scene in the early 2000s to commercial and critical acclaim.

Biography
Born in Paris, Sefyu played football for a great deal of time in the role of a left-winger. He went on to England to feature for London club Arsenal where he got an injury which eventually ended his playing days. As so he then changed his focus towards a career in hip hop.

A member of the crews “NCC” (Natural Court Circuit –“ Natural Short Circuit”) and “G-Huit”, he started his ascent to fame by rapping with Rohff on his album La Fierté des nôtres, released in June 2004.

He has worked with a vast array of French rappers, including Moystaff du Bengale, Nemesis, Ritmo, La K-Bine crew, Passi, Sniper and Daddy Lord C. He performed publicly in 2001 at the Francofolies de la Rochelle.

In 2005, he released an EP entitled Molotov 4, which was produced by Kore et Skalp. In April 2006, Sefyu released his first album, titled Qui Suis-je ?. Sefyu's style of rap is characterised by a few features: a deep, husky voice, and a range of unique phrases. These include Crrr!, an onomatopoeia imitating the sound of a gun being cocked and Crouille, French slang for riffraff or undercover. Some of his songs belong to the hardcore hip-hop genre such as “La vie qui va avec”, whereas others are inspired by R’n’B music like that of “Un point c’est tout”.

His 2007 song “”Lettre du Front” was released on R&B singer Kenza Farah's album Authentik. Authentik was released in the same year and as well garnered gold status.

On May 12, 2008, Sefyu released his second album, Suis-je le gardien de mon frère?  Prior to its release, Sefyu made public the acclaimed singles “Mon Public”, “Molotov 4” and “Au pays du zahef” which contributed to the album's commercial success. According to Planète Rap Magazine, 106,453 copies of Sefyu's second LP were sold in France in 2008. Suis-je le gardien de mon frère? was eventually certified gold.
On March 1, 2009, Sefyu went on to win the Victoire de la Musique Award, in the category “Revelation of the year”.

Sefyu seldom shows his face, and often hides it by wearing a hoody or covering it with his fist, a ski mask, or his fitted hat. The reason for this is twofold, firstly out of respect for those struggling to be  noticed within the music industry as well so that persons would comprehend that one's image is of little note within such altogether.

Maharathi is a Hindi thriller film produced by Dhilin Mehta. The film was directed by Shivam Nair and stars Paresh Rawal, Neha Dhupia, Naseeruddin Shah, Boman Irani, Om Puri and Tara Sharma. The film's music is by Shibani Kashyap. The film is based on the Gujarati language
play of the same name as well as James Hadley Chase's novel ''There's Always a Price Tag''.

Plot
The film opens as Jai Singh Adenwaala becomes involved in an accident due to drunk driving but is saved from death by Subhash Sharma. As Jai Singh is seriously drunk, Subhash hails a taxi and decides to drop him home. Once at the Adenwaala Bungalow, Jai Singh invites Subhash inside to thank him. He introduces him to his wife, Malika a glamorous but shady young lady and his lawyer and friend, A.D. Merchant. He then ends up hiring Subhash as his chauffeur, much to the chagrin of Mallika. Merchant also develops a dislike for him. Malika tries her best to get Subhash out of the house by framing him for robbery but Subhash's quick wit and intelligence allows him to save himself.

Adenwaala reveals to Subash that he is neck deep in loans and depressed due to his constant drinking, and Mallika wants to kill him to claim his insurance worth 24 crores after Mallika threw his inhaler out a window when he had an asthma attack; Subash had luckily been there and gave it to Adenwaala in time.

He calls Subhash and Malika and hands Subhash a letter. He then tells Malika about a little change he had made in his insurance policy. According to the conditions in the policy, the insurance money could only be claimed if Adenwaala is murdered and not if he kills himself. Adenwaala says that he knows Malika will try to make his suicide appear to be murder. He also reveals he asked Subhash to stay so he cannot be blamed for his death. Saying this, he shoots himself. Malika rushes to call the police but Subhash convinces her that together they can prove his suicide a murder.

Subhash offers to collaborate with her on the condition that they will split the insurance money in half. Mallika initially hesitates but eventually accepts Subhash's offer after he reveals the letter he was told to give to Merchant claims Adenwaala asking Merchant to free Mallika from jail it she manages to prove his death a murder, and then give the letter to the insurance company so they don't give her the money. Then they decide to hide Jai Adenwaala's body in the freezer to stop it from decaying and place Adenwaala's alcohol bottles on it to divert people's attention from it. They then clear the house of all evidence about Adenwaala's death. They then decide to feign that Adenwaala is in his bedroom and too ill to meet anyone, and then hire a nurse called Swati to place the blame on.

When Swati switches the freezer off, Subhash makes an excuse that it must stay on due to its system. Mallika becomes suspicious of keeping Swati in the house after she nearly opens the freezer one night while sleepwalking and decides to kill her, but Subhash convinces her not to. However, Mallika secretly plans with Merchant to kick Subhash out and take the money for themselves. Subhash then covers his face and feigns to be Adenwaala before he leaves the house with Mallika under the pretence of going to the nursing home and takes her to the milk booth, where he ties her and leaves the car to make it look like goons trapped her and kidnapped Adenwaala. However, Mallika's chair falls in the night and she dies after breaking her spine, where she is found by the police in the morning. ACP Gokhale calls Merchant to Adenwaala's house and questions them about the night of the disappearance. Merchant tells Gokhale that Adenwaala had not made a will, and Gokhale leaves after leaving a police officer behind to remain guard.

Merchant then reveals to Subhash that Adenwaala did make a will, and entrusted all of it to Subhash for saving his life, making Subhash the prime suspect, and revealed he intends to take it to the police in the morning. After making the guarding officer drunk, Subhash opens the freezer, but Merchant unexpectedly appears and discovers the body. Subhash tells him the truth, but claims Mallika planned the whole thing. Merchant decides to take advantage and attempts to make Subhash sign a power of attorney, so Merchant can inherit both the insurance money and will for himself. When Subhash refuses, Merchant takes an awoken Swati at gunpoint, but Gokhale and the police arrive. Subhash falsely blames Merchant for the deaths of Adenwaala and Mallika, so Merchant angrily tries to shoot Subhash, but Gokhale shoots and kills him first.

Subhash uses the insurance and will money to build his own luxurious house, but Swati appears and reveals she realised the shoes that "Adenwaala" was wearing when he left with Mallika to go to the nursing home are the same Subhash is wearing, to which they both laugh and become partners.

The ERA - European Rental Association is a trade association representing the equipment rental sector in Europe.

History and Mission
ERA was set up in 2006 to promote and represent the equipment rental industry, which was largely overlooked and seen as an integral part of the construction industry itself. ERA represents over 5,000 rental companies in Europe, either directly or through its 15 rental association members (14 national associations and one international).

Its work focuses on 7 main areas:

 Promotion of the rental concept
 Technical issues and equipment
 Statistics on the European rental market
 Sustainability in the rental industry
 Harmonisation of national regulations in Europe
 Awareness of the challenges of the future of the rental industry
 Support for rental associations

Structure
ERA, like most trade associations, uses working committees which meet regularly throughout the year and develop deliverables that may be of use to member companies and associations.

There are currently 5 committees and 2 working groups:

• Technical Committee• National Associations Committee• Promotion Committee• Statistics Committee• Sustainability Committee

• Future Group

• Cybersecurity working group

Members
Direct members of ERA can either be rental associations or rental companies with operations in Europe. Equipment manufacturers and other suppliers to the rental industry can become associate members.

International Exhibitions and events
ERA is the co-organiser of the International Rental Exhibition, IRE, which takes place every 3 years and is the largest European trade show for the equipment rental business. The event raises the profile of the rental industry in Europe, standing alongside Intermat and Bauma as the two other large European construction exhibitions.

Olaulim is a scenic village in Bardez sub-district, North Goa, India. The village lies between the lush green hills that separate it off from Bastora and Porvorim on the West and the back waters of the Mandovi River on the East.

Also 3 km away is Pomburpa (the springs here are a popular tourist attraction which incidentally haven't been known to run dry even in the worst of summers) to the south and Aldona 6 km away in a north easterly direction. Those are the nearest villages with the Dr. Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary just across the river in Chorao.

The village of Olaulim had been home to survivors of the brutal World War 2 attack on Rangoon, Burma where many Goans had flourishing businesses. The Pinto and Rodrigues families are some of the few such surviving families that still exist in Olaulim. (details of the hardships faced by these families when fleeing Rangoon to return to Olaulim, Goa can be found in the book "Songs of the Survivors" by Yvonne Vaz Ezdani).

Asuri is an Austroasiatic language spoken by the Asur people, part of the Munda branch.
Asuri has many Dravidian loanwords due to contact with Kurukh.

The majority of Asuri speakers reside in the Gumla district of Chota Nagpur. In addition, there are smaller groups of Asuri speakers in Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Odisha.

Ethnologue states that Birjia is a dialect of Asuri, but also that there is a related language Birjia; it is not clear if these refer to the same thing. However, Anderson (2008:195), based on Prasad (1961:314), suggests that Birjia (Binjhia) may be an Indo-Aryan language, although the Birjia are an ethnic subgroup of the Asuri tribe, along with the Asur proper and the Agariya.

Majhwar is unclassified, but based on location and other clues, it may turn out to be a dialect of Asuri. If so, its 35,000 speakers (reported in 1995, out of an ethnic group of 175,000) would make it the most populous form of Asuri.

Asuri is considered to be an endangered language. One important reason for its distinction as endangered is due to a lack of any written form of the language. It exists only as a spoken language There are a total of 31 phonemes in Asuri, made up of twenty-six "segmental" and five "supra-segmental" phonemes. Of the former, there are twenty-one consonants and five vowels.

The Asur language is listed in UNESCO Interactive Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger. Using mobile radio, the Asur community, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group(PVTG) in Jharkhand, has been spreading the popularity of the language within their geographical limits. News and entertainment programmes are broadcast on speakers at public places.

Geographical distribution
Ethnologue lists the following districts and states where Asuri is spoken.

Jharkhand: southern Palamau district, northern Ranchi district, Gumla district, and Lohardaga district of the Chota Nagpur Plateau
Chhattisgarh: Raigarh district and Jashpur district area
Odisha: Sambalpur district
West Bengal

BCP, formerly  Better Choice Parking, is an airport parking operator in the UK, also offering parking at Dover and Southampton ports. BCP also sells pre-bookable central London parking.

History of BCP
BCP was incorporated in November 1963 as Terminus Securities Limited. In 1978 Terminus Securities acquired a car park at Gatwick Airport, on the airport boundary next to the runway, from British Chemotheutic Products.

In 1988 Stephen Moss, who had gained an MBA in Business Studies at the London Business School, was appointed managing director of BCP, the family's car parking business. Moss was instrumental in growing a small car park investment at Gatwick into a 5,000 space operation incorporating the UK's first multi-storey block-parked car park.

In October 1991 BCP extended the scope of their car parking operations by setting up a multi airport booking system using a network of airport car parks around the country. The network included their own Gatwick car park plus off airport parking facilities for Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast. BCP also offered advance booking facilities for the on-airport car parks at Luton, East Midlands, Manchester, Cardiff and Southampton. There were also facilities for parking at the seaports of Dover and Folkestone. The BCP booking service was awarded the ISO 9002 Certificate for Quality Assurance in 1995.

In 1996 BCP introduced a Meet and Greet parking service  and also launched a chauffeur driven airport car service  at the major UK airports. In 1998 BCP extended their product range to offer bookings for overnight airport hotels and UK short breaks. In 1999 BCP also began to offer worldwide car hire, travel insurance and airport executive lounges. In July 1999 the company was incorporated, becoming BCP Limited. BCP moved to bespoke new offices at Astrid Towers, which housed a modern call centre and the company was accredited with the Investors In People Award in 2000.

In March 2006 BCP announced that it would be joining forces with Ryanair, allowing their passengers to book BCP products through the Ryanair website.

In December 2008, the company was acquired by Holiday Extras.

Surnames of Spanish origin


A  is a form of Japanese pagoda found primarily at Esoteric Shingon and Tendai school Buddhist temples. It is unique among pagodas because it has an even number of stories (two). (The second story has a balustrade and seems habitable, but is nonetheless inaccessible and offers no usable space.) Its name alludes to Tahō Nyorai, who appears seated in a many-jewelled pagoda in the eleventh chapter of the Lotus Sutra. With square lower and cylindrical upper parts, a mokoshi 'skirt roof', a pyramidal roof, and a finial, the tahōtō or the larger daitō was one of the seven halls of a Shingon temple. After the Heian period, the construction of pagodas in general declined, and new tahōtō became rare. Six examples, of which that at Ishiyama-dera (1194) is the earliest, have been designated National Treasures.
There are no examples in China, whether architectural or pictorial, of anything that resembles the tahōtō, although there is a Song dynasty textual reference to a 'tahōtō with an encircling chamber'.

Hōtō
The  or treasure pagoda is the ancestor of the tahōtō and dates to the introduction to Japan of Shingon and Tendai Buddhism in the ninth century. No wooden hōtō has survived, albeit modern copies do exist, and stone, bronze, or iron, and specimens are always miniatures comprising a foundation stone, barrel-shaped body, pyramid roof, and a finial.

Daitō

While the tahōtō is 3x3 ken (bays), a larger 5x5 ken version exists, known as  or 'large pagoda'.
This is the only type of tahōtō to retain the original structure with a row of pillars or a wall separating the corridor (hisashi) from the core of the structure, abolished in smaller pagodas.  Daitō used to be common but, of all those ever built, only a few are still extant. One is at Wakayama prefecture's Negoro-ji, another at Kongōbu-ji, again in Wakayama, another at Kirihata-dera, Tokushima prefecture, another at Narita-san in Chiba. (See the respective list entries.) Kūkai himself, founder of the Shingon school, built the celebrated daitō for Kongōbu-ji on Kōyasan; almost fifty metres high, chronicles relate that 'the mightiness of its single storey outdoes that of multi-storeyed pagodas'. The specimen found at Negoro-ji (see photo above) is 30.85 meters tall and a National Treasure.

Structure

Single-storey
Japanese pagodas have an odd number of stories. While the tahōto may appear to be twin-storied, complete with balustrade, the upper part is inaccessible with no usable space. The lower roof, known as a mokoshi, provides shelter and the appearance of an additional storey.

Floor plan
Raised over the , the ground floor has a square plan, 3x3 ken across, with a circular core. Inside, a room is marked out by the , a reference to the Four Heavenly Kings. The main objects of worship are often enshrined within.

Upper part
Above is a second 'tortoise mound', in a residual reference to the stupa. Since exposed plaster weathers rapidly, a natural solution was to provide it with a roof, the mokoshi. Above again is a short, cylindrical section and a pyramidal roof, supported on four-stepped brackets.

Finial

Like all Japanese pagodas, the tahōtō is topped by a vertical shaft known as the . This comprises the base or 'dew basin'; an inverted bowl with attached lotus petals; nine rings; 'water flame'; and jewel. The finial's division in sections has a symbolic meaning and its structure as a whole itself represents a pagoda.

Miniature versions
A number of smaller versions of the tahōtō are known, of stone, bronze, iron, or wood, and similar to the hōtō.

Meaning
A number of mandala show the Iron Stupa in southern India, where the patriarch Nāgārjuna received the Esoteric scriptures, as a single-storey pagoda with a cylindrical body, a pyramidal roof, and a spire. The forms used in the tahōtō, namely the square, circle, triangle, semi-circle, and circle, may represent the Five Elements or the Five Virtues. The egg-shaped stupa mound or aṇḍa may represent Mount Sumeru, with the finial as the axis of the world; or, by a folk interpretation, the square base may represents a folded robe, the dome an overturned begging bowl, and the spire a walking staff. The tahōtō served not as a reliquary tower but often as an icon hall.

Sir William Llewelyn Davies (born William Davies; 11 October 1887 – 11 November 1952) was a Welsh librarian who was chief librarian of the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth from 1930 until his death.

Early life and education
Davies was born at Plas Gwyn schoolhouse near Pwllheli, in Caernarfonshire, north Wales. His father was a gamekeeper. He was educated in Porthmadog and was a pupil-teacher in Penrhyndeudraeth before studying at the University College of Wales (later to become Aberystwyth University), taking honours in Welsh.

Career
After graduating, Davies taught in various locations in Wales and at the University College, Cardiff (later to become Cardiff University).  He was a member of the Royal Garrison Artillery during the First World War and then an officer in the Army Education Service.  In 1919, he was appointed first assistant librarian at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, under John Ballinger; he succeeded Ballinger on his retirement in 1930 and continued as chief librarian until his death.

During his time as chief librarian, he transformed the library with a large acquisition programme, which collected and preserved many Welsh manuscripts and materials located in private hands or other collections. In total he acquired approximately 3.3 million documents (the library had only about 200,000 documents when he was appointed chief librarian).  He started the library's academic journal and wrote its official history.

His work for the library and Wales were noted with the award of a knighthood in 1944 and an honorary doctorate by the University of Wales in 1951.  He served as High Sheriff of Merionethshire in 1951.

He died at the age of 65 in Aberystwyth on 11 November 1952. Following his death his ashes were scattered on the grounds of the library.

Personal life
He added the surname "Llewelyn" after marrying Gwen Llewellyn in 1914.
