Plot[edit]
Horrid Henry's Perfect Day[edit]
Horrid Henry is a horrid boy who loves doing unimaginable horrible things. He throws food, he snatches things, he pushes, shoves and pinches. He has a younger brother called Perfect Peter. He is an extremely perfect boy who does uncountable good deeds. He always says "Please" and "Thank You", he loves vegetables and refuses cake and he never ever picks his nose. One day, Horrid Henry wonders what would happen if he were perfect?! So, the next day, Henry doesn't wake Peter up by splashing water on his head, and Peter and his parents wake up late. Due to this, Henry and Peter are late for a class. Back at home, Henry doesn't bully Peter, instead, he reads a book about super-mice. At dinner time, Henry helps lay the table and ignores Peter's whining that he always lays the table. When the family eat spaghetti and meatballs, Henry does not kick Peter or slurp his food or leave behind his vegetables. Peter wants Henry to become horrid again and tries many ways to get Henry to hit him but Henry is resilient. When Henry's Mum gives Henry some fudge cake and a kiss for being so good, Peter can't stand it any longer and flings his plate at Henry but hits Mum. Mum screams at Peter to go to his room and when Henry laughs, she sends him to his room too. The story ends with Henry being surprised that being perfect was so much fun.[1] but before all that happened great Aunt Greta came.
Horrid Henry's Dance Class[edit]
Henry and Peter have to go to the school's dance class taught by Miss Impatience Tutu, a very impatient woman who claims she is patient that Henry hates. The class has to play a concert and everyone is practicing for it. Impatience Tutu makes Henry sit behind a false bush for being horrid at her class so he won't embarrass everyone at the concert. When its time for the concert, Henry decides to make his part bigger and by doing so, makes Impatience Tutu stop the concert. The story ends with Henry being happy to finally go for karate.[2]
Horrid Henry and Moody Margaret[edit]
Horrid Henry has an archenemy, and that is Moody Margaret. Margaret lives next door to Henry, is in Henry's class and owns all the things that Henry's goody-goody parents don't let him have. This is the only reason that Henry plays with Margaret. The two of them are playing pirates and squabbling over who is going to be Captain Hook and Peter is begging to not be the prisoner. When Margaret reluctantly hands over her Captain Hook role to Henry and takes his role as Mr. Smee and Henry orders her and Peter to walk the plank, she decides not to play pirates. Henry gets fed up and orders her to play but Margaret shrieks at him. Since no one can shriek as loud as her or as piercingly as her, Henry gives her back the hook and she decides to eat something. Selfish Henry doesn't want to share his food with her and gives her horrible choices. When he mentions "Glop"(A dish of horrible food mixed together), Margaret decides that she and Henry make the yuckiest Glop of all and eat it. After putting in horrible ingredients, Margaret eats a spoonful of it and doesn't show how much she hates it, in fact stating that it is good. When Henry doesn't want to eat it but takes a tiny spoonful, Margaret is about to do an unrevealed horrible thing if Perfect Peter had not intervened. He asks for some food and Henry gives him the glop![3]
Horrid Henry's Holiday[edit]
Henry hates holidays but when his family is going to France for camping, he gets excited. However, the place isn't as good as Henry thought it would be. A rainy campsite with filthy toilets and he gets angry again. He tries to knock down tents and play horrible music but Dad stops him. Just as they are about to eat baked beans, it rains. The Family sleeps in the tent soundly but Henry can't due to the sharp rocks and mosquitoes. When they wake up, the family goes for a walk and Henry has to collect firewood. Henry uses the wooden pegs holding up the tents as the firewood and creates a big fire. Henry feels he is dreaming that he is floating but when he wakes up, he finds that he is floating! The tent has collapsed and the rain has soaked everyone wet. Henry then takes his family to the campsite that he wanted to go with modernized things and the story ends with Henry and Peter sharing a bag of chips

Electoral College (India)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The President is indirectly elected by means of an electoral college consisting of the elected members of the Parliament of India and the Legislative assemblies of the States and the Union Territories of Delhi and Puducherry. The number and value of votes are based on the population in 1971 rather than the current population, as a result of the 42nd Amendment, and extended by the 84th Amendment,[1] with the intention to encourage family planning programs in the states by ensuring that states are not penalized for lowering their population growth.
The Vice President is elected by a different electoral college, consisting of members {elected as well as nominated} of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
Composition[edit]
The presidential electoral college is made up of the following:
elected members of the Rajya Sabha (upper house of the Parliament of India);
elected members of the Lok Sabha (lower house of the Parliament of India);
elected members of each state Vidhan Sabha (lower house of the state legislature); and
elected members of each union territory possessing an assembly (i.e., Delhi and Puducherry)
Weighing of votes[edit]
The value of votes cast by elected members of the state legislative assemblies and both houses of parliament are determined by the provisions of article 55(2) of the Constitution of India.[2] The details of number of voters and votes for the presidential election are given below.[3] Per the 84th Amendment, the 1971 census is used, and will continue to be used until 2026.[4]
The formula for determining the number of votes held by an MLA is:
Value of an MLA vote = Total population of the state or union territory Total number of elected members of the Legislative Assembly × 1000 {\displaystyle {\mbox{Value of an MLA vote}}={\cfrac {\mbox{Total population of the state or union territory}}{{\mbox{Total number of elected members of the Legislative Assembly}}\times {1000}}}}

That is, the average constituency size, determined by the 1971 census, in his/her state or union territory, divided by 1,000.
The number of votes for MLAs are as follows:
S. No.
Name of the State/Union Territory
Number of Legislative Assembly seats (elective)
Population (1971 Census)[3]
Value of the vote of each MLA
Total value of votes for the State/Union Territory
1 Andhra Pradesh 175 27,800,586† 159 27,825
2 Arunachal Pradesh 60 467,511 8 480
3 Assam 126 14,625,152 116 14,616

31 West Bengal 294 44,312,011 151 44,394
Total 4,120 549,302,005 549,495
Note:- †http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/ElectoralLaws/HandBooks/President_Election_08062017.pdf.
The value of an MP's vote is calculated by dividing the total value of all MLAs' votes by the number of MPs. The formula for determining the number of votes held by an MP is:
Value of an MP vote = The sum of vote value of elected members of all the Legislative Assemblies The sum of elected members of both the houses of Parliament {\displaystyle {\mbox{Value of an MP vote}}={\cfrac {\mbox{The sum of vote value of elected members of all the Legislative Assemblies}}{\mbox{The sum of elected members of both the houses of Parliament}}}}

That is, the total Members of Parliament (Elected) = Lok Sabha (543) + Rajya Sabha (233) = 776
Value of each vote = 549,495 / 776 = 708.11, rounded to 708
Total value of votes of Parliament = 776 × 708 = 549,408
The number of votes for MPs are as follows:
Name of the House
Number of Parliamentary seats (elective)
Value of the vote of each MP
Total value of votes for the House
Lok Sabha 543 708 384,444
Rajya Sabha 233 708 164,964
Total 776 708 549,408
Total number of votes for Presidential electors are as follows:
Elector
Total number of electors
Total value of votes
Members of Legislative Assemblies (elected) 4,120 549,495
Members of Parliament (elected) 776 549,408
Total 4,896 1,098,903

It has been formed by the intrusion of basaltic magma into Miocene salt deposits and subsequent hydrothermal activity.[1] Phreatic eruptions took place here in 1926, forming Dallol Volcano; numerous other eruption craters dot the salt flats nearby. These craters are the lowest known subaerial volcanic vents in the world, at 45 m (150 ft) or more below sea level. In October 2004 the shallow magma chamber beneath Dallol deflated and fed a magma intrusion southwards beneath the rift.[2] An phreatic eruption occurred in January 2011.[3]
Numerous hot springs are discharging brine and acidic liquid here. Small, widespread, temporary geysers produce cones of salt. The Dallol deposits include significant bodies of potash found directly at the surface.[4]
The term Dallol was coined by the Afar people and means dissolution or disintegration, describing a landscape of green acid ponds (pH-values less than 1) and iron oxide, sulfur and salt desert plains. The area resembles the hot springs areas of Yellowstone Park.

Production[edit]
By May 16, 2015, Bruce Willis was cast to star in a comedy playing a Los Angeles private detective whose dog is stolen by a gang.[4] Mark Cullen and Robb Cullen would make their directorial debut on the film based on their own script,[8] and they would also produce the film along with Nicolas Chartier, Zev Foreman, and Laura Ford, while Voltage Pictures financing and selling the film at Cannes.[4] In June 2015, Jason Momoa, Thomas Middleditch and Famke Janssen joined the cast of the film, Momoa to play the gang leader who forces Willis' character to do some jobs for his dog, Middleditch to play Willis' assistant in his operation, while Janssen would play Willis' sister-in-law.[3] Later on June 30, 2015, John Goodman, Stephanie Sigman, Adrian Martinez, Kal Penn, and Emily Robinson round out the remaining cast of the film, Goodman playing Willis' best friend, Sigman playing Momoa's character's girlfriend, Martinez playing the owner of a local pizza store who wants to help Willis' character, while Penn would play a grocery store clerk.[5] On July 13, 2015, Adam Goldberg was set to play Lou the Jew in the film.[6] Next day on July 14, 2015, four more joined the cast of the film, including Tyga, Ken Davitian, David Arquette, and Victor Ortiz.[7]
Actor Ralph Garman was meant to play a role in the movie, but he revealed on his Hollywood Babble-On podcast that his character was written out of the film when Bruce Willis refused to shoot a scene between them. The Cullen brothers offered him another role, and again, Willis declined to shoot the scene. The next day, the producers of the film stated that the scene needed to be cut, leaving Garman without an appearance in the film. The story mirrored that of his co-host, director Kevin Smith, who had similar stories of Willis' behaviour during the filming of Cop Out.[9]
Principal photography began on June 29, 2015, in Venice, Los Angeles.[10] The film was shooting under the working title Going Under.[11]
Release[edit]
In April 2017, RLJ Entertainment acquired distribution rights to the film.[12] It was released in a limited release and through video on demand on June 16, 2017.[13]
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
Once Upon A Time In Venice received a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 32 reviews.[14] Metacritic gave the film a score of 28 out of 100 based on 9 reviews.[15]
Craig D. Lindsey of LA Weekly stated that Willis' performance was "a sterling example of how a lazy star can make a bad movie even worse."[16]
Box office[edit]
Once Upon A Time In Venice was released on Jun 16, 2017 (limited) and totaled under $500,000 in combined international box office.[1][2]
