In India, Femina Miss India, selects the contestant for Miss World and Universe, they use to send the winner to Miss Universe and the runner-up to the Miss World contest but changed it after 1994's Indian historic dual wining, now they select three different winner for each show.
But why to sen...
You can opt into an "extra toy" program too, which I did. The box I get usually includes a couple of chew treats, two or three toys, and four packages of other treats.
@Axelrod - FYI, I am physically capable of chatting in SF&F rooms, but I won't be doing so until my suspension ends on Friday. My main account is active everywhere except chat and the SF&F main site, this account (which all the mods know I have) can do everything everywhere.
And obviously, the recent events in Mos Eisley aren't open for discussion here. It needs to be left alone until a solution is reached.
@Axelrod I can't post on meta. Not enough rep, and it would be a violation of the spirit of my suspension. I advise you to drop the issue of Mos, how the site works, what should be done, and CM/mod actions. Forget about all of it.
@steelerfan Wow, that's really cool. I used to swim once a week, but unfortunately I got out of it lately. I have become completely sluggish in everything lately and need to get out of this hole some day.
Swim Team is an Indian television series that premiered on 9 March 2015 on Channel V India. The show was earlier titled as "Valley High" but later renamed as "Swim Team".
== Summary ==
The series revolves around a coach Tarun Kapoor and his team of swimmers, as they train hard in order to represent India at the 2016 Summer Olympics. The main character Rewa Mathur, a young aspiring swimmer who struggles against her family and mother's unwillingness to allow her to swim, since her father (also a swimmer) had committed suicide due to issues rooted in his lack of fame. In contrast, Rewa's best friend...
And it's a shame, because the friggin' swimming hall is literally across the street, I could actually walk 20 meters across the street in my swimming gear.
I remember watching this movie some time during the late eighties on VHS from video rental. While it was dubbed in German, I think its original language most likely was either English or Italian (from what I remember regarding the actors as well as the fact that Italian movies were rather popular...
@AnkitSharma I refined it further. The wording might be ok now, but honestly, it's also a pretty bad ID question in general. Maybe we should really let it die (in dignity?).
@AnkitSharma Becasue we came to the reasonable compromise that plot-related WWE questions are on-topic and sports-related ones off-topic. They're still deliberately constructed, even scripted, as TV-shows. I don't like WWE stuff either, but I don't see how WWE makes any kind of celebrity gig that just so happens to be broadcast on TV on-topic.
All I know is that I won't be gunning for a mod position. Instead, I'm going to go with my original goal in joining SE: An accepted answer in every SE.
Unfortunately, though, there is just too much I know absolutely zero about. But fortunately there are also enough easy-going HNQs around (even if an answer to those is less likely to get accepted).
I was in high school (just!) in the late 70's, and around then I saw a film I would like the title of.
The only details I can remember is that there were a large group of quite primitive people, and they were visited by a group of advanced people in something that was like an enormous stone head...
A discussion brought up on Can the same contestant represent their country in both Miss World and Miss universe? on whether a televised show like The Miss Universe Pageant is on topic here.
A Related question, Is a question on WWE on topic? Resolved as Wrestling, in regards to the scripted Plot,...
Point of No Return (also known as The Assassin) is a 1993 American action film directed by John Badham and starring Bridget Fonda and Gabriel Byrne. It is a remake of Luc Besson's 1990 film Nikita.
Maggie Hayward (Bridget Fonda) is a young, violent and unstable drug addict found guilty of murdering a police officer, and is sentenced to death by lethal injection. Her death is faked, and a secret government agent named Bob (Gabriel Byrne) informs her that she is to become an assassin. She is given a makeover and training that transform her into a beautiful woman, and she is also trained as a killer...
@NapoleonWilson I loved it when it came out, and it's okay, but the most notable aspect of it for me is that it led to my discovery of Nina Simone's music.
@CapyStenchbeast You mean this is something that crawls around in your area? Oh god, I hereby resign as the resident spider-killing man and hand that duty off to you. I give up!
@NapoleonWilson No, probably central/South America. We get big spiders here, but nowhere near that size. If I'm not mistaken, that's a Goliath "Bird-eating" tarantula.
I also have a strict "no kill" policy regarding spiders. In spring, summer, and fall, I move them outside if they get in my house. In the winter, I coexist with whatever spiders are inside, except Black Widows, because they could kill Capy.
@NapoleonWilson I don't even know how you would kill that spider, even if you wanted to. If you tried to swat it with a rolled-up newspaper, it would laugh, rip the newspaper from your hands, and swat you back.
@Catija Yeah, they're very common all over North America. Black and Yellow Garden Spiders. Saw one with a beautiful web outside a hotel one morning. The web was gone when I came back that night, and I was going to complain to the hotel management until I did some research and found out they eat their own webs every night to recycle the proteins.
Fine, too. Well, at least the question is asked now. Maybe I'll get around to writing my "Hell, it's friggin' beauty pageants, of course no!" answer tomorrow.
They both get kicked out of my apartment year round, for Capy's sake. All others are welcome in winter, but get kicked out the rest of the year so they don't starve.
Official synopsis: Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created in ALIEN with ALIEN: COVENANT, the second chapter in a prequel trilogy that began with PROMETHEUS — and connects directly to Scott’s 1979 seminal work of science fiction.
Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.
@CapyStenchbeast We don't get regular ones here, just the big ones... some people call them "waterbugs"... they're gross and they eat stuff I don't want them eating.
@NapoleonWilson She had a husband at one point... hopefully he knew what it was.
I just don't mind spiders, because I hate insect pests, and spiders eat those, so the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Palmetto bugs (giant roaches) that don't eat my food or spread disease get to live.
@Catija He is chat banned for a year based on another site. He made no problems on our site and is a valuable contributor, but since the issues of other sites are not ours to mess with, we shouldn't discuss it here. (And whoever complained so in this very room should stop this in the future.)
