This is a list of redirects that have been proposed for deletion or other action on August 20, 2020.

Sernui
 Closed discussion, see full discussion. Result was:

 * The result of the discussion was delete  . signed,Rosguill talk 15:58, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Sernui → Middle-earth (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sernui&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Another Middle-earth river redirect not mentioned anywhere. It's rather a minor plot point, just a name on a map really, so I don't see a reason to really mention it anywhere. Hog Farm Bacon 23:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Neither the target section nor that section's main article has any information about it, so the redirect is pointless. -- Elphion (talk)

Cementoss
 Closed discussion, see full discussion. Result was:

 * The result of the discussion was keep  . (non-admin closure) 2pou (talk) 23:46, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Cementoss → List of My Hero Academia characters (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cementoss&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This redirect is not mentioned in the target or anywhere else in the "My Hero Academia characters" article. Seventyfiveyears at 23:11, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. This does appear at target article, it’s apparently the name of a character. No reason to delete. CycloneYoris talk! 23:27, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's in the target, so I don't see a reason to delete. Hog Farm Bacon 23:31, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Donald trump

 * Draft:Donald Trump → Donald Trump (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Donald_Trump&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Incorrect use of the draft namespace. There's no page history here, both have always been redirects. This isn't a plausible search term, as nobody's gonna search for a title with the Draft: prefix, unless they're looking for a specific draft. Hog Farm Bacon 22:59, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. More proper usage of the draft namespace would be to copy paste the article to make potential edits to request later if you aren't extended confirmed. Ocelot Creeper  ( ta lk ) 23:18, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, and I think an edit filter or page creation blacklisting of some sort should be created for the creation of redirects in the "Draft:" namespace that are created and target a non-"Draft:" namespace page. Steel1943  (talk) 00:06, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Pinging . Techie3 (talk) 01:54, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * ...Who may want to consider deleting these redirects per WP:G7 and WP:SALT-ing these titles from being created by non-confirmed accounts instead, if I'm understand the reason why these redirects were created? (The creation and deletion logs for these titles are a mess.) Steel1943  (talk) 02:35, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as obvious maintenance. Perhaps salt if log history shows repeated attempts (not admin, can't check that myself). — JFG talk 10:17, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * See Draft:Donald trump and Draft:Donald Trump. Steel1943  (talk) 10:28, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks. There may be a case for workshopping a new version of the article (see ongoing discussion Talk:Donald Trump), so I'd lean against salting for Draft:Donald Trump. The alternate capitalization Draft:Donald trump is useless. — JFG talk 10:40, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Lap top
 Closed discussion, see full discussion. Result was:

 * The result of the discussion was speedy keep  . It is WP:SNOWing. (non-admin closure) Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 09:05, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Lap top → Laptop (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lap_top&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Implausible redirect, most likely because of its space. Seventyfiveyears at 22:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plausible misspelling of this compound word. (In fact, I'd say most compound words could be plausible incorrectly spelled with a space, but that's a discussion for another time, if ever.) Steel1943  (talk) 22:51, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. I believe this is an extremely common error.  228 pageviews this year.  I'm seeing no indication that this is implausible in any way. Hog Farm Bacon 22:54, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, this spelling variant is even used on wikipedia, currently on 10 pages . – Uanfala (talk) 23:59, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Plausible search term -  C HAMPION  (talk) (contributions) (logs) 04:57, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Almost all compound words started off as two words. An exact-word Google search for "lap top" shows that people are still offering them for sale. Narky Blert (talk) 06:14, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Draft:Korea war → Korean War (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Korea_war&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Incorrect use of the draft namespace. There's no page history here, it was created as a draft. Hog Farm Bacon 21:47, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Yep, incorrect use of "Draft:" namespace. Steel1943  (talk) 22:18, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

User:Stoshmaster blanked, which I restored, but it doesn't seem useful. It has no incoming links, uses non-standard case, and ends with a comma. Ost (talk) 20:05, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete this JUNK, While the capital last name might be forgiven for holding the or  key for much too LONG, the comma I don't see a plausible reason for KEEPING, Regards,  SONIC  678  20:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inconsistent use of CAPS and the comma at the end make this typo to implausible to be useful or helpful. Steel1943  (talk) 20:45, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Capitalising a surname is reasonable (at least as reasonable as R from sort names); it's a style used in some published works. However the comma at the end pushes it over the threshold. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:42, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as an unambiguous R from move . —  J947 ‡ message ⁓ edits 22:47, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. The move was done 14 minutes after the initial article creation.  Ideally it would have been done without leaving a redirect, but c'est la vie.  There's no benefit to keeping this lying around. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 23:22, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * With no reliable source, the page seems frivolous or perhaps a Trojan horse for WP:OR or WP:SYNTH. I favour speedy deletion of the page.Chjoaygame (talk) 19:10, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Heat source also redirects there. Hildeoc, would you like to add it to this nomination? --BDD (talk) 19:04, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, definitely!--Hildeoc (talk) 19:55, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would favour speedy deletion of this too.Chjoaygame (talk) 19:12, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I do not understand the rationale for this RfD. The page is plausible as a search term. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 21:11, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, I too do not understand the problem here, least of all the advocacy to speedy delete it. If someone wikilinked Heat source in an article, this seems like the obvious target. There is no particular reason these should exist as separate articles, but it's a reasonable and related phrase that seems to be pointing to an obvious closely-related topic. It seems like a classic and harmless use of a redirect. ~ mazca  talk 21:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete or Weak retarget to Heat transfer, which would likely be a better target, but even that's a stretch. If someone wikilinks one of these, and not "heat" itself, as suggested above, they should be slapped with a wet trout for putting unrelated verbiage into a link.  It's better to leave a red link as a hint that you've linked something vague and as a prompt to put in what's really appropriate.  On the other hand, as a search term, this is also too vague to assume that someone's looking for a general high-level article on "Heat" itself.  Best to leave it to the search engine. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 21:45, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per Mazca and LaundryPizza03. Both are perfectly plausible search terms, maybe a bit vague, but harmless enough for keeping. CycloneYoris talk! 00:18, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed,Rosguill talk 15:28, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: I see these as plausible search terms, so I think this redirect can stay. Aasim 19:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep both per above. Heat may also be known as "Sources of heat" or "Heat source". There is no reason to delete those redirects. Seventyfiveyears at 23:50, 20 August 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9001:6502:4734:A86C:E61A:E2C:D721 (talk)

Ram Lalla

 * The result of the discussion was retarget  to Ram Mandir, Ayodhya aka Option 2 signed,Rosguill talk 17:08, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Ram Lalla → Ram Janmabhoomi (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ram_Lalla&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Ram Lalla refers to the deity, which is an infant Rama By the page move history, the Redirect was to Ram Lalla Temple, which then redirected to Ram Janmabhoomi but now redirects to Ram Mandir, Ayodhya. A bot fix for double redirect is why it currently redirects to Ram Janmabhoomi.

Proposing to redirect either to 1. Rama (as per mythology) 2. Ram Mandir, Ayodhya (the temple of Ram Lalla)

Best regards, SerChevalerie (talk) 17:52, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Option 2, redirect to Ram Mandir, Ayodhya. That is obviously the temple for Ram Lalla. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:11, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Option 1 – Ram Lalla is mythologically Shri Ram, and Ram Mandir is the temple of Him. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 18:17, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Option 1: But, the Rama article nowhere discusses about Ram Lalla even in the "Birth" or "Youth, family and friends" sections. We need some relevant information to be added on Ram Lalla. Option 2 is about the temple dedicated to Ram Lalla and not about him. Santoshdts [TalkToMe] 19:09, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Option 2 per Santoshdts. --Soumya-8974 talk contribs subpages 07:46, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Option 1, as a form of the same deity. Redirecting the deity's name to an article about a temple doesn't feel right. Vanamonde (Talk) 16:07, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Option 2 Form of the deity associated with a particular temple, is generally redirected to the temple e.g Vishalakshi. Redtigerxyz Talk 16:27, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Might be a stylization of the name of the company, but nothing on the target page indicates this.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:20, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Wow, I didn't see the logo either. I was referring to the title of the infobox. A white image with a translucent background ... I'm surprised you saw it ... because I sure didn't until you pointed it out above. Steel1943 (talk) 15:41, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Shafa Malingsu → Sedentary lifestyle (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shafa_Malingsu&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

This is a misspelling and unnecessary capitalisation of a bad over-literal translation into Chinese of the term, created by a user who was blocked for sockpuppetry (though only after this redirect was created, so it doesn't qualify as WP:CSD). The bad over-literal translation itself gets about a dozen Google Hits. Even apart from the WP:FORRED issues, the existence of this redirect adds zero value to Wikipedia and may mislead unsuspecting readers into assuming it's a correct term. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:52, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Malingsu

 * Malingsu → Potato (talk · links · [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Malingsu&action=history history] · stats)     [ Closure:  ]

Delete per WP:FORRED since the subject of the target article has no affinity to the Chinese language. Steel1943 (talk) 08:44, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nominator. It's not even a correct spelling of the word in question (wikt:mǎlíngshǔ). <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 09:24, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

When someone is whining, frustration is not necessarily the emotion they are experiencing. Steel1943 (talk) 08:17, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Agree that this isn't a suitable target. I can't think of good targets, so either deletion or redirecting to Wiktionary would be fine by me. Whiney should definitely be deleted though: we shouldn't go that far in cataloguing the English lexicon here. Whine should either be retargeted to Whine (album), or, better, deleted to make way for the move of that article back to its pre-2017 title. – Uanfala (talk) 19:11, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Move Whine (album) to Whine. Delete the others to facilitate uninhibited Search. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:53, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Not mentioned in target article, and not clear why it would or should be. Other than that, the redirect is ambiguous with basically any device that could entertain consumers. Steel1943 (talk) 07:45, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Totally ambiguous. This could be even be a Betamax player or a phonograph. -2pou (talk) 20:37, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Previously targeted Married... with Children, but I don't see this redirect being a likely search term for any subject at Bob Rooney (including Bob Rooney (Married... with Children) due to the lack of space and since the redirect is not proper WP:CAMELCASE though it is over 10 years old.

 * Delete Agreed, looks like a bad joke made up 14 years ago and never heard from again. The same editor also created  pointing to the same target. Judging from Google, Zitterio is an Italian surname (Wikipedia mentions no one by that name) that has nothing to do with the target. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 07:44, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete a possibly-notable annual event that is discussed nowhere in Wikipedia besides the pages of two people who happened to perform in it one year. The redirect originally pointed to Country Music, then the redirect creator went and redirected Country Music to Radio for some reason and a bot came along and "fixed" it before that got reverted.

IRC +10414

 * The result of the discussion was retarget  to Two-Micron Sky Survey as the option that seemed to have the most support and the least opposition per the discussion below. (non-admin closure)  Steel1943  (talk) 16:14, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

IRC +10414 refers to a completely different star, not related to IRC -10414 and not mentioned at IRC -10414. This redirect is likely to cause confusion and is an unlikely search term for anyone wanting IRC -10414. Lithopsian (talk) 20:06, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 * It is most likely not notable; perhaps borderline, but references are thin on the ground. It would certainly be possible to create an article since the data for a starbox exists, but beyond basic data there aren't really any references to say anything about it and it would never get beyond a stub.  Might even get tagged for deletion for failing WP:NASTRO.  Lithopsian (talk) 20:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

 * That is what the IRC part means. The question is whether it helps anyone looking for "IRC +10414"?  Possibly it would let them know it is a star.  Perhaps it should redirect direct to Two-Micron Sky Survey unless there is some other possible meaning for it.  Lithopsian (talk) 15:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak retarget to Two-Micron Sky Survey, or delete (do not keep). It's harmfully confusing as-is (very much like the example given in WP:RFD, "if 'Adam B. Smith' was redirected to 'Andrew B. Smith'"), however the TMSS page at least describes how the stars are catalogued, which does allow the reader to glean a very minimal amount of information about the star. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 20:35, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, while this was apparently created based on the assumption these two are the same star (so it is not an impossible mistake to make), I'd say the opportunity for confusion by being sent to the wrong star is worse. Not sure we should redirect to Two-Micron Sky Survey (I might support that if there was an easy way to get a list of all the objects whose designation starts with "IRC"). —Kusma (t·c) 20:58, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Pre-1975 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons

 * The result of the discussion was delete all except Pre-1980 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons, which has no consensus  . The incoming links have been fixed, leaving these outdated titles as actively misleading and non-useful. Pre-1980 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons has not reached a consensus due to its high number of incoming links, and the fact that (until halfway through the debate) there was a Category:Pre-1980 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons, subsequently emptied and C1'ed. As an editorial action after this closure, I'm going to retarget the redirect to North Indian Ocean tropical cyclone as a decent target that should give readers the actual information they're looking for - if there are issues with this, or if the incoming links are all cleared, it can be individually renominated if anyone wishes to. ~  mazca  talk 16:10, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Fix all incoming links and delete, or turn into a disambiguation (if this is considered a useful search term).

There are many pages about cyclones (or seasons) between 1900 and 1975, and the redirect is often confusing or wrong (e.g. this is used on Winston Churchill, where it is about a 1942 cyclone; the reader is not helped at all by this redirect in such a case).

The same applies to some other redirects with the same target:
 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The four redirects mentioned at the end of the nomination statement (all but the first one in the nomination) were not tagged or officially listed as though they were part of the discussion until this relist.

 * Comment - The Pre-1975 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons was a former article, which was eventually moved to Pre-1900 North Indian Ocean cyclone seasons in order to break the North Indian cyclone seasons down after more information and editors became available/interested in the region. For now they have been split into the pre-1900s, the 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960, 1961, 1962 etc, buy will probably be further broken down as information allows. As a result, I am not sure what we should do with the redirect, as i suspect we need to keep it under Wikipedia's terms.

PHP Programming/SQL Injection Attacks

The Problem
Consider the following SQL query in PHP:

$result=mysql_query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username="'.$_GET['username'].'"');

The query selects all rows from the users table where the username is equal to the one put in the query string. If you look carefully, you'll realise that the statement is vulnerable to SQL Injection - quotes in  are not escaped, and thus will be concatenated as part of the statement, which can allow malicious behaviour.

Consider what would happen if  was the following:   (a double-quote, followed by a textual " OR 1 OR username = " followed by another double-quote). When concatenated into the original expression, you have a query that looks like this:. The seemingly redundant  part added is to ensure that the SQL statement evaluates without error. Otherwise, a hanging double quote would be left at the end of the statement.

This selects all rows from the users table.

Input Validation
Never trust user provided data, process this data only after validation; as a rule, this is done by pattern matching. In the example below, the username is restricted to alphanumerical chars plus underscore and to a length between eight and 20 chars - modify as needed.

For increased security, you might want to abort the script's execution replacing  by   or.

This issue still applies when using checkboxes, radio buttons, select lists, etc. Any browser request(even ) can be replicated through telnet, duplicate sites, javascript, or code (even PHP), so always be cautious of any restrictions set on client-side code.

Escaping Values
PHP provides you with a function to deal with user input in MySQL, and that is. This script escapes all potentially dangerous characters in the string provided and returns the escaped string such that it may be safe to put into a MySQL query. However, if you do not sanitize input prior to passing it to  function you still may have SQL injection vectors. For example;  would not protect against an SQL injection vector such as the following:

If  contained   then the resulting query would be:

which is a valid SQL injection vector.

(The original function,, did not take the current character set in account for escaping the string, nor accepted the connection argument. It is deprecated since PHP 4.3.0.)

For example, consider one of the examples above:

$result=mysqli_query($link, 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username="'.$_GET['username'].'"');

This could be escaped as follows:

$result=mysqli_query($link, 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username="'.mysqli_real_escape_string($_GET['username']).'"');

This way, if the user tried to inject another statement such as a, it would harmlessly be interpreted as part of the WHERE clause parameter as expected:

SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE username = '\';DELETE FROM `forum` WHERE title != \''

The backslashes added by  make MySQL interpret them as actual single quote characters rather than as part of the SQL statement.

Note that MySQL does not allow stacking of queries so the  attack would not work anyway

Parameterized Statements
The PEAR's DB package provides a prepare/execute mechanism to do parameterized statements.

The query method, also do the same as prepare/execute,

The prepare/execute will automatically call  as discussed in the above section.

In PHP version 5 and MySQL version 4.1 and above, it is also possible to use prepared statements through  extension. Example :

Similarly, you could use the built-in PDO Class in PHP5.

Game Creation Guidelines/Design

Part of Board Game Design>Game Creation Guidelines

See also Spiral Model of Game Development

The Idea
Many of us have had an idea for a game. Very few of us have completed one. Is it that having ideas is easy, and finishing games is hard? Actually, you'd be surprised sometimes at how hard having that initial inspiration is. This segment is about how to get your idea, and if you already have an idea, what you should do with it.

Inspiration
Inspiration can come from anywhere. Some find that they are inspired when in a certain emotional state, or perhaps when they just wake up. Some meditate, some just watch TV. One thing is certain about inspiration, however: it seems to go together with interest.

The things that interest us also inspire us. For example, perhaps you're head over heels about the Burgess Shale, or you totally dig Military Strategy, or you desperately love cookies. You can bet dollars to doughnuts you've got a treasure trove of game ideas right there. Not only will your interest provide you with the energy to do research and keep interested, but it is the fuel you need to complete the first step of developing your idea: writing it down.

Journal
Like a writer, a game developer is someone who survives from their inspiration and creative ability. Let's face it, even the most creative of us have our droughts and blocks. So, why not create a repository of the ideas you had when you were really inspired for those periods when inspiration is lacking? A journal is an efficient way to solve this problem.

It need not even be a book or pad of paper, you can keep your ideas anywhere you'll remember them. The key is that you write out the idea as completely as you can while it is still fresh in your mind. Use words that are evocative to you, so that when you read it again you can try to capture the same feeling you had when you wrote it. You don't necessarily have to be gramatically correct or even write full sentences... the important thing is that you write down words or phrases that will jog your own memory when read a second or third or fifteenth time. An entry can be as simple as "theme, fish, coral, shrimp, polyps" and evoke an old idea that could turn into something like Reef Encounter.

Perspiration
Any idea can be worked and reworked many times. If you leave adequate space in your journal, or transfer the idea over to its own page, you will still have the opportunity for inspiration to strike and allow you to expand the idea. Remember though that inspiration is only a small part of the process. Writing about your idea, expanding your idea, explaining your idea, all these things get the juices flowing again. So, even if you have no inspiration whatsoever, go back to your idea and look it over, then try to explain it in a more lucid manner. You'd be surprised at how effectively a little grunt work can put you back on track to developing your killer idea.

Developing the Idea
Development of an idea can take many forms. You may be able to put hours and hours into developing new mechanics for your great theme, or you may want to try combining other ideas you've got stored in your journal to create a more interesting whole.

Creation of credit insurers around the world

 * 1883: ACI in the United States
 * 1917: Hermes Kreditversicherungsbank in Germany
 * 1918: Trade Indemnity in United Kingdom
 * 1927: SFAC in France and SIAC in Italy

Birth of Euler Hermes
SFAC acquired COBAC in 1993, followed by Trade Indemnity in 1996, and ACI and SIAC in 1998. During the same year, Allianz acquired AGF, a shareholder of SFAC. The holding Compagnie Financière SFAC was renamed Euler.

From 2000, Euler was listed on the Paris Stock Exchange. Two years later in 2002, Euler acquired Hermes, the German market leader in trade credit insurance. In 2003, the Group and all its subsidiaries became Euler Hermes.

Euler Hermes began to expand internationally in 2004, and opened offices in Latin America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar) between 2004 and 2009. In 2007, Euler Hermes increased its shareholding to 50% in COSEC, the market leader in Portugal. In 2013, Solunion, a joint venture between Euler Hermes and MAPFRE, was created covering Spain and Latin America. In the same year, Euler Hermes increased its shareholding in ICIC, a credit insurer in Israel, to 50%.

Joining the Allianz Group
In 2018, Allianz completed the acquisition of Euler Hermes's outstanding shares and Euler Hermes Group became fully owned by the Allianz Group. In March 2022, Euler Hermes changed its brand name to Allianz Trade.

Trade credit insurance
This is an insurance policy and a risk management product offered to companies to protect their accounts receivables from loss due to credit risk. Should their customers become insolvent or fall into protracted default, it includes indemnification for the values of goods or services delivered. The policy could include a component of political risk insurance, which insures the risk of non-payment by foreign clients due to issues such as currency problems, political unrest and expropriation. Some policies also include debt collection, which is the process of pursuing payment of debts owed by businesses.

Surety bonds and guarantees
A bond, or financial guarantee, protects the contractual obligations between businesses and a customer, supplier or partner. It is a contractual triangle relationship between the business, the surety bond company or guarantor, and the third-party requiring the bond. The surety bond company or guarantor financially guarantees the third party that the business will abide by the terms established by the bond or guarantee. In the event of non-performance of the specified obligations, the surety bond company or guarantor is there to provide compensation for loss and damage.

Economic research
Ludovic Subran is the Chief Economist of Allianz, and Ana Boata is Director of Economic Research of Allianz Trade. The department's economic research team analyzes and anticipates international economic trends and covers international commerce, macroeconomics, payment risks. The Economic Research Department updates its country risk and sector risk ratings every quarter.

Birthyear
Was Donald born in 1880 or 1882? Hotwine8 03:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC) he was born in aberfeldy in 1880 and is a scottish actor not english how green was my valley was his greatest movie in my opinion he won an osar for it —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 00:32, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Donald Crisp was born George William Crisp on 27 July 1882 at home in Bow in the Poplar District (now Tower Hamlets) in East London, and therefore an English actor. In the main article I indirectly cited the most reliable source as reference for the date and place of his birth. It is just a scanned image of the master index of all Births, Marriages, and Deaths for all of England and Wales, but it does permit free access and it does confirm both the place (East London) and the date (registered in the three month period July, August, September 1882). Those that wish to pay can look at his specific Birth Certificate details on page 594 of Volume 1 Section C in the Registry of Births for 4 September 1882 in the Poplar District (physically owned by its successor, Tower Hamlets). His mother Elizabeth Crisp did not register his late July birth until early September. You are not the first to be misled by his claims concerning his background (see the "Oxford University?" section below (coming shortly)).

Lord Peter Wimsey (TV series)

Lord Peter Wimsey is a series of television serial adaptations of five Lord Peter Wimsey novels by Dorothy L. Sayers, starring Ian Carmichael as Wimsey. They were broadcast on BBC1 between 1972 and 1975, beginning with Clouds of Witness in April 1972.

Cast

 * Ian Carmichael as Lord Peter Wimsey
 * Glyn Houston as Mervyn Bunter (Clouds of Witness, The Nine Tailors, Five Red Herrings)
 * Derek Newark as Mervyn Bunter (The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club)
 * Mark Eden as Inspector Charles Parker (Clouds of Witness, The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, Murder Must Advertise, The Nine Tailors)
 * Rachel Herbert as Lady Mary Wimsey (Clouds of Witness, Murder Must Advertise)

Production
The adaptations star Ian Carmichael as aristocratic sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey, the second son of the Duke of Denver. Not wanting for money, charm or intelligence, Wimsey takes up detective work as an amateur pursuit, using his connections and social status to assist the police in their investigations.

Carmichael played the role concurrently in a series of BBC Radio 4 adaptations from 1973, which eventually completed the whole sequence of Sayers's novels. In The Radio Detectives (1999), Carmichael recalled that he had hoped to continue with further television adaptations, but acknowledged that by 1975 he was too old to play the part onscreen for the sequence of more romantic novels featuring crime writer Harriet Vane. He felt that as a result of a technician strike, production of the fifth adaptation under a new producer, Bill Sellars, was not as successful, after which the series was not renewed. Three later television adaptations of the Harriet Vane stories were produced as A Dorothy L. Sayers Mystery with Edward Petherbridge as Wimsey in 1987.

Glyn Houston played Wimsey's loyal valet and assistant Mervyn Bunter in three adaptations and Derek Newark in The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club (the character does not appear in Murder Must Advertise). Mark Eden played Inspector Charles Parker, Lord Peter's friend and contact at Scotland Yard in four adaptations.

The series was recorded in the then-standard format of videotape for studio sequences (recorded at Television Centre, London and Pebble Mill Birmingham from the second serial) and 16mm film for exterior location scenes.

Locations
Locations included St Peter's Church, Walpole St Peter and Terrington St John, Norfolk for The Nine Tailors and Kirkcudbright, Galloway in Scotland for Five Red Herrings, the latter almost entirely shot on film due to a technician strike, with only a few studio sequences taped in studios in Glasgow.

Music
The 1930s-style theme tune was written by Herbert Chappell. The BBC record of Herbert Chappell's theme tune featured a second track, "Size Ten Shuffle", which in rearranged form was used as the theme for FilmFair's Paddington (1976–1980).

Episodes
All episodes are based on the corresponding novels written by Dorothy L. Sayers.

European Digital SME Alliance

The European DIGITAL SME Alliance is a community of small and medium ICT enterprises (SMEs). Its members are national sectorial digital SME associations in 30 countries and regions in the EU and neighboring countries, all together it associates more than 45,000 SMEs. DIGITAL SME was established in 2007 (back then it was named Pan European ICT & eBusiness Network for SME) to represent the voice of ICT SMEs and their interests in the European institutions and other international organisations. DIGITAL SME is the first European association of the ICT sector exclusively. The current president is Oliver Grün.

History and main achievements
Following a prominent public discussion on patentability of software, the Pan European ICT & eBusiness Network for SMEs was founded in 2007. Its establishment was initiated by UEAPME (European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises), now referred to as SMEunited, whose member DIGITAL SME has been from then on.

In 2013, the Pan European ICT & eBusiness Network for SMEs was among the founding members of SBS (Small Business Standards). Since then, DIGITAL SME representatives have always been appointed to SBS Board, and its experts have been taking part in the technical committees of European standardisation bodies: George Sharkov – ETSI TC CYBER expert, Massimo Vanetti – OneM2M expert, Fabio Guasconi – ISO/IEC JCT 1 SC 27 expert, George Babinov – ETSI ATTM expert, Emil Dimitrov – ETSI TCCE expert. In addition, DIGITAL SME and SBS representative prof. Vladimir Poulkov was elected as a vice chairman of the ETSI general assembly in 2016.

In 2016, the Pan European ICT & eBusiness Network for SMEs has changed its name to European DIGITAL SME Alliance. The same year, it became a founding member of another important body – European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO). DIGITAL SME is particularly active also in the management of ECSO: its President Oliver Grün was appointed as SME member of ECSO Managing Board and of the Partnership Board, while DIGITAL SME's Secretary General Sebastiano Toffaletti is chairing the WG4 - Support to SMEs, coordination with countries (in particular East and Central EU) and regions.

The same year (2016), DIGITAL SME also became a member and a pledger of the newly created Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition - an initiative created by the European Commission to tackle e-skills gap in Europe.

In the period of 2015-2016, DIGITAL SME was campaigning for the creation of an open market for data usage, where both manufacturers and users of data-producing machines are entitled to use the data. DIGITAL SME's recommendations were taken up by the European Commission that announced the Communication on Building a European Data Economy and accompanying Staff Working document. The reference was made to DIGITAL SME's position paper (published earlier in 2015).

In May 2017, European DIGITAL SME Alliance launched the #digitalSME4skills campaign that was initiated in the framework of Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition. The campaign calls European SMEs to train young professionals and help them gaining digital skills through Apprenticeship schemes. In addition, DIGITAL SME President Oliver Grün joined the Coalition's governing board.

In July 2017, reacting to the upcoming review of European Cybersecurity Strategy, European DIGITAL SME Alliance has published its position paper on cybersecurity, developed in a cooperation with ECSO.

Since its establishment in 2007, DIGITAL SME was guided by 5 presidents:
 * from June 2015: Oliver Grün (Germany)
 * 2013–2015: Bo Sejer Frandsen (Denmark)

Appendix:Romanian verb conjugation

Conjugation types
There are four basic conjugation types in Romanian.
 * Type 1 — verb infinitive ending in -a
 * Type 2 — verb infinitive ending in -ea
 * Type 3 — verb infinitive ending in -e
 * Type 4 — verb infinitive ending in -i or -î

There are variations within each class. For instance, some type 3 verbs have past participles ending in -ut while others end in -s. More information on such differences can be found in the respective appendices for conjugation. Types: 1 - 2 - 3 4

Infinitiv (Infinitive)
The infinitive is the basic form of a verb that you would find in a dictionary.

Prezent (Present)
Examples:
 * a iubi — to love
 * a cânta — to sing
 * a putea — to be able
 * a spune — to say

Trecut (Past)
The past infinitive is formed by combining a fi and the past participle of a verb. Examples:
 * a fi iubit — to have loved
 * a fi cântat — to have sung
 * a fi putut — to have been able
 * a fi spus — to have said

Gerunziu (Gerundive)
Examples:
 * L-am auzit cântând — I heard him singing
 * L-am auzit cântându-i fetei — I heard him singing to the girl
 * L-am auzit cântându-le fetelor — I heard him singing to the girls
 * Am auzit-o cântându-i prietenului ei — I heard her singing to her friend
 * El cântă folosind cuvinte din limbi străine — He sings using words from foreign languages

As with the participle, gerunds are negated with the prefix "ne-".

Examples:
 * Ea cântă nefolosind cuvinte din limbi străine — She sings without using words from foreign languages

Positive
Examples:
 * cântat — sung
 * vorbit — spoken

Negative
Negative past participles are only used as adjectives. For instance, you can not say "eu am nevorbit" if you mean "I have not spoken." The correct way to say this would be "eu nu am (or n-am) vorbit."

Examples:
 * necântat — unsung
 * un cuvânt nevorbit — an unspoken word
 * o melodie necântată — an unsung melody
 * cuvintele nevorbite — the unspoken words

Adjectival usage
Past participles can also be used as adjectives. In these cases, they are declined in the same manner as 4-form adjectives.

 * cântați — sung (masculine plural)
 * vorbită — spoken (feminine singular)
 * necântat — unsung (masculine & neuter singular)
 * nevorbite — unspoken (feminine & neuter plural)

Supin (Supine)
The supine is formed simply by adding de before the past participle, although its use without "de" is possible, in which case it acts as a sort of noun.

 * am nevoie de ceva de mâncat — I need something to eat
 * dacă aveam de ales — If I had to choose

Prezent (Present)
Examples:
 * eu cânt — I sing, I am singing
 * tu cânți — you sing, you are singing
 * eu citesc — I read, I am reading
 * el citește — he reads, he is reading

Imperfect (Imperfect)
Examples:
 * eu cântam — I was singing
 * tu cântai — you were singing
 * eu citeam — I was reading
 * el citea — he was reading

Perfect simplu (Simple perfect, Preterite)

Outside of the region of Oltenia (in South-West Romania) this tense is not commonly used. In most parts of Romania, the Perfect compus (or compound perfect) is preferred. In places where the compus is preferred, when the simple perfect is used, it generally indicates that an action was completed in the very near past.

Examples:
 * eu cântai — I sang
 * tu cântași — you sang
 * eu citii — I read
 * el citi — he read

Mai mult ca perfect (Pluperfect)
Examples:
 * eu cântasem — I had sung
 * tu cântaseși — you had sung
 * eu citisem — I had read
 * el citise — he had read

Viitor I (Future)
The above auxiliaries are used with infinitives to form the literary future.

Examples:
 * eu voi cânta — I will sing
 * ei vor cânta — they will sing

Viitor 2 (Future perfect)
The future perfect is formed by using the above auxiliaries with fi and the past participle.

Examples:
 * eu voi fi cântat — I will have sung
 * ei vor fi cântat — they will have sung

Popular 1
The first type of popular future is formed simply by adding "o" to the subjunctive form of a verb.

Examples:
 * el o să cânte ceva pentru noi — he will sing something for us.
 * el o să citească - he is going to read

Popular 2
The second type of popular future is slightly more complicated than the first type. It is formed simply by adding the present tense form of avea to the subjunctive form of a verb.

Examples:
 * el are să cânte ceva pentru noi — he will sing something for us.
 * el are să citească - he is going to read

Popular 2 is often used when it would be easy to confuse forms were they in the Popular 1.

Examples:
 * o să mor vs. o să mori — ??? (Spoken, this may cause confusion due to the fact that the "i" in mori would be nearly whispered, making it sound very similar to mor.)
 * am să mor vs. ai să mori — I am going to die vs. You are going to die

Future in the past
The "future in the past" is formed with the imperfect tenses of avea (seen above) with the subjunctive form of a verb.

Examples:
 * aveam să cânt — I was going to sing
 * avea să cânte — He was going to sing
 * aveați să citiți? — Were you going to read?
 * aveau să vină — They were going to come

Conjunctiv (Subjunctive)
Subjunctives, as in many other languages, suggest an uncertain action or occurrence. When used alone, subjunctives are usually translated with "should."

The subjunctive is identified by the conjunction să.

Examples:
 * Present:
 * el să cânte ceva pentru noi — he should sing something for us.
 * eu vreau că el să cânte ceva pentru noi — I want him to sing something for us.
 * Past:
 * noi să fi stat acasă ieri — We should have stayed home yesterday
 * nu mi-amintesc să fi fost cu tine ieri — I don't remember being with you yesterday
 * nu mi-amintesc să fi văzut acest film niciodată — I don't remember ever seeing this film

Prezent (Present)
In most cases, the subjunctive forms of verbs in 1st and 2nd persons, singular and plural, are the same as their present tense counterparts. (One exception that comes to mind is the verb a fi, "to be," in which every person and number has another subjunctive form.) In the 3rd person, however, almost all verbs change slightly. The general rule is that ă will change to e and vice-versa. 3rd person subjunctives share one form for plural and singular.

Examples:
 * el cântă → el să cânte
 * el deranjează → el să deranjeze
 * el vine → el să vină
 * el citește → el să citească
 * el urăște → el să urască

Trecut (Past)
The subjunctive past is formed by combining să fi with the past participle of the verb in question.

Examples:
 * el cântă → el să cânte → el să fi cântat
 * el vine → el să vină → el să fi venit

Imperativ (Imperative)
The imperative only exists for the 2nd person in Romanian. The 2nd person singular imperative is generally the same as the 3rd person singular present form; aside from this, there is no one rule for forming this imperative. The 2nd person plural imperative is almost always the same as the 2nd person plural present form.

Examples:
 * el cântă (he sings) → cântă! (sing!)
 * el vorbește (he speaks) → vorbește! (speak!)

In the 2nd person singular, the imperative is not simply negated with "nu". Instead, the infinitive is used. The plural does not go through such a change.

Examples:
 * cântă! (sing!) → nu cânta! (don't sing!)
 * vorbește! (speak!) → nu vorbi! (don't speak!)

For both singular and plural, the word order also changes slightly.

Examples:
 * dă-mi-o! (give it to me!) → nu-mi-o da! (don't give it to me!)

Perfect compus (Compound perfect)
The above auxiliaries are used with past participles to form the perfect compus.

Examples:
 * eu am cântat — I have sung
 * ei au cântat — they have sung

Prezent (Present)
The above auxiliaries are used with infinitives to form the present optative/conditional.

Examples:
 * eu aș cânta dacă aș ști versurile — I would sing if I knew the lyrics
 * ei ar cânta — they would sing

Trecut (Past)
The past conditional is formed by combining one of the above auxiliaries with fi and the past participle of the verb.

Examples:
 * eu aș fi cântat — I would have sung
 * ei ar fi cântat — they would have sung

Prezent (Present)
The above auxiliaries are used with infinitives to form the present presumptive.

Examples:
 * eu oi cânta — I might sing
 * ei or cânta — they might sing

Trecut (Past)
The past presumptive is formed by combining one of the above auxiliaries with fi and the past participle of the verb.

Examples:
 * eu oi fi cântat — I might have sung
 * ei or fi cântat — they might have sung

William Dowler Morris

William Dowler Morris (August 22, 1857 – April 13, 1931) was mayor of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1901.

He was born in County Leitrim, Ireland in 1857 and came to Canada in 1877. He became involved in the oil, coal and real estate businesses; he also owned a brickyard. Morris was first elected to city council in 1892. He was forced to resign as mayor after being convicted of drinking after hours at the Russell House, an Ottawa hotel, an offence under the liquor license act. Under Ontario law at the time, the law provided that a violator of provincial law was disqualified from voting or holding public office for a period of two years, and Mayor Morris pled guilty on November 16, 1901.

During his term as mayor, he was instrumental in persuading philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to donate funds for the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library; the city made a commitment to allocate funds for the ongoing upkeep of the library. However, the mayor of the time, James A. Ellis, chose not to invite Morris to the 1906 opening. Morris also served as a transport officer in World War I at the age of 60.

Morris died in Bermuda in 1931.

6 (film)

6 (also known as 6 Melugu Varthigal or 6 Candles) is a 2013 Tamil crime thriller film written and directed by V. Z. Durai. It stars Shaam and Poonam Kaur. The lead character sports six looks and goes around six states to solve a mystery. The film was released on 20 September 2013 with positive reviews and became a sleeper hit. The movie is loosely based on the 2007 Korean movie Voice of a Murderer.

Plot
Ram is a young software engineer who lives with his wife Lizzy and their son Gautham, in Chennai. They lead a normal life until Gautam's sixth birthday, when they lose Gautham at a crowded beach. The police are not very helpful as Gautham is not the child of anyone with influence. However, after much pestering, the local inspector has one of his men take Ram and Lizzy to the slums in north Chennai to meet a petty criminal, Nayanar, who knows about all the crimes done by the dwellers in his area. Initially, he pretends not to know anything. However, after Lizzy begs at his feet, he finally reveals that Gautham might have been taken to Nagari in neighboring Andhra Pradesh to be sold to a local pimp, Krishna Rao. Ram then leaves for the pimp's brothel with two friends but finds that Rao only deals with grown women and not little children.

Back in Chennai, Ram goes to meet Nayanar, who accidentally let slip that Gautham might have been taken to another town in Andhra Pradesh although he is unsure of it. Coincidentally, the taxi driver, Rangan, who drove Ram and Lizzy to the slums, earlier meets Ram and tells him he has driven a businessman from that town back to his home after meeting Nayanaar a few years ago. The driver reluctantly agrees to take Ram there. Back in Andhra Pradesh, Ram and Rangan meet the businessman, Nallama Reddy who claims to lead an honest living by selling rice. However, Ram realizes Reddy is lying as the temple board states he is a quarry dealer. Ram holds Reddy's grandson at gunpoint and forces Reddy to reveal where Gautham is. Reddy then tells Ram his son might have been taken to a butchery at a nearby town.

At the butchery, the local gangsters already know that Ram is coming for them. Ram is prepared to face their attack. While struggling with the gang, its leader tells Ram that he already killed Gautham and sold the other children he abducted to a child trafficker in Bhopal named Nikhil Motwani after Reddy told them Ram is coming. Once the gangsters are defeated, Ram searches for Gautham's body but instead finds the corpse of another boy. Realizing that the gangsters killed the wrong boy, Ram is confident that Gautham is being taken to Bhopal and leaves immediately.

At Bhopal, Ram and Rangan manage to arrange a meeting with Motwani by posing as businessmen, but the human trafficker recognizes Ram from the news. He tells Ram that Gautham is being held by his henchman, Diwakar, and they can only release the boy if they are paid 1 crore. With no other choice, Ram calls up Lizzy to prepare the money and is taken to Diwakar's hideout. Unable to control himself after seeing a young schoolgirl almost being raped, Ram saves her by fighting off Diwakar's men and taking her to the Times of India's headquarters. When Ram and Rangan return to the hideout, they find it empty. As they explore the place, they discover that Gautham and many other abducted children have been kept prisoned there all along. Ram becomes hysterical when he finds Gautham's shirt on the floor along with his scribblings on the wall.

Once they are back on the road, Ram phones Diwakar and begs him to return Gautham but is instead taunted at. Meanwhile, Lizzy calls Rangan to tell him that she had borrowed money from friends and has banked it into Diwakar's account. When she finds out it is no longer of any use, she is devastated and faints. As Ram and Rangan prepare to leave, they are shot at by an assassin hired by Motwani. Ram survives, but Rangan is fatally shot. Before dying, Rangan reveals to Ram that he was the driver hired to drive Gautham's abductors around Chennai in search of victims. He then pleads to Ram to not give up and continue searching for his son.

Now left alone, Ram remembers his final conversation with Diwakar, who told him Gautham might be sold in Lucknow or Calcutta. He goes to Calcutta first and searches for Gautham at every place where child laborers and minor sex workers are being kept. As he comes to accept the fact that Gautham is not in the city, he phones Lizzy, whom he has not spoken to in months. She asks him to come home as there is nothing they can do to find their son now. Ram refuses to give up and heads for Lucknow. In Lucknow, Ram is found sleeping at the roadside by a kind person, Bhai, who takes him in and helps him find Gautham. Through one of his contacts, Bhai learns about a local crime boss who houses dozens of child laborers. Once there, the crime boss claims he does not deal in child trafficking and instead asks Ram to look for Diwakar in Bhopal. We are then shown in flashbacks how Ram managed to track down Diwakar, who let slip his new hiding spot during their last conversation, and killed him in a fit of anger before taking back his money. Shocked, the crime boss finally shows Ram his child laborers. Ram is too overwhelmed by the number of abducted children when each of them beg him to take them away from this place.

As Ram and Bhai prepare to leave, Ram notices that he dropped Gautham's shirt and they go back to get it back. Ram then sees one of the boys, who has terrible vision, holding the shirt. As Ram observes the boy's face closely, he realizes it is Gautham, whom he did not recognize earlier as his son has changed beyond recognition. The father and son embrace, as Bhai thanks the Lord for his blessing.

 * Master Vivethan as Gautham
 * Anil Murali as Diwakar

 * Nagineedu as Nallama Reddy
 * P. S. Sridhar as Nayanaar

Production
The venture was first reported in September 2011 with Shaam in the lead, when a poster of a candle shaped like the number 6 was unveiled, with the media initially incorrectly reporting the title as 6 Candles. The film was initially planned to also be released in Telugu due to Shaam's newfound popularity after Kick (2009). An accompanying press note mentioned that V. Z. Durai had written and directed the film, while Jeyamohan would write the dialogue. R. Madhi, Srikanth Deva and Anthony were signed on as cinematographer, music composer and editor respectively. A special medical team headed by Dr. Selvam and comprising a physiotherapist, dietitian, yoga expert, meditation guide and a physical trainer was also set up to monitor the lead actor Shaam's health during the shoot as the role required him to go through physical changes. Early reports suggested that Priyamani and later reports suggested that would play a role, but she was replaced by Poonam Kaur. The Malayalam actor Jagathy Sreekumar and the Telugu actress Archana Shastry were also reported to play supporting roles, but these reports were proven false although the latter did appear in the film's trailer.

To attain a look with big eyebags, Shaam spent more than ten days without sleeping, which resulted in a big swelling below his eyes, so much so that the actor could not even be recognised. Although his effort gained notice, several contemporary actors criticized him for taking such a risk. For another look, Shaam reduced his weight from 89 to 72 kg and grew long hair and a beard.

Soundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by Srikanth Deva collaborating with V. Z. Durai for a second time, after Nepali. Durai made his debut as a lyricist and wrote all six songs. The audio was launched on 5 December 2012 at a function attended by Sneha, Ameer, Namitha, Abbas, Bharath, Vimala Raman, Shaam, Poonam Kaur, the Kannada actor Sudeep and many others. Behindwoods wrote, "Barring one song, the album has Srikanth Deva stepping out of his comfort zone and showing his capabilities at something different."

 * "Boyfriend Girlfriend" – Sathyan
 * "Aagaayam Bhoomikellam" – Sathyan, Soundarya Bala Nandakumar
 * "Unnai Naan Velvatha" – Roopa, Nancy Vincent
 * "Bigulu Bigulu" – Soundarya, V. Z. Durai
 * "Thedukindrathe" – Haricharan

Release
After many postponements, the film was released on 20 September 2013.

Critical reception
The film received positive reviews. A critic from The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Despite the flaws, the plot keeps tugging along, managing to keep us always involved about the fate of the missing lad". He also wrote, "Shaam's physical transformation for this role is astounding, but his range, when it comes to expressing emotions as a performer seems to be somewhat limited". A critic from Sify called the film "tedious" and wrote, "The only silver lining is Shaam's performance, as father struggling to come to terms between his love for his son and situations life throws up". Baradwaj Rangan wrote, "It should make for riveting drama, a welcome change from the endless comedies we are subjected to. But a number of factors conspire to derail the narrative, beginning with the cast". A critic from Behindwoods gave 2.75 stars out of 5 and wrote, "A movie with good research by the director, V.Z. Dhorai and earnest hard work by actor Shaam, which could have been tightened as a better product". Though the film was well appreciated the film had an average box office run.

The Federal Route 77 became a main route for Japanese Imperial forces from Pattani to Singapore during the Battle of Malaya between 1941 and 1942.

Communist insurgency in Malaysia (1968–1989)
On 17 June 1968, to mark the 20th anniversary of their armed struggle against the Malaysian Government, the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) launched an ambush against security forces in the area of Kroh–Betong road not far between Pengkalan Hulu town and Malaysia-Thailand border. They achieved a major success, killing 17 members of the security forces. This event marked the start of the second armed revolt of the Communist Party of Malaya known as Communist insurgency in Malaysia (1968–89). The Federal Route 77 was put under strict security control by Malaysian army. Motorists were allowed to use the road at daytime only due to security reasons. The military control of the road was lifted after the insurgency ended in 1989.
