555 California Street, formerly Bank of America Center, is a 52-story 779 ft (237 m) skyscraper in San Francisco, California. It is the fourth tallest building in the city, the largest by floor area,[6] and a focal point of the Financial District. It is the 69th tallest building in the United States, one foot taller than One Worldwide Plaza in New York City and just 1 foot shorter than the 68th tallest building in the USA, which is also owned by Bank of America, the Bank of America Center in Houston, Texas at 780 ft (238 m), and just 2 feet shorter than the 67th tallest building in the USA, 30 Hudson Street in Jersey City, New Jersey at 781 ft (238 m). Some sites round the heights of all four buildings to 780 ft (238 m) making those four buildings tied as the 67th tallest buildings in the country.
Completed in 1969, the tower was the tallest building on the West Coast and west of the Mississippi River until the completion of the Transamerica Pyramid in 1972, and the world headquarters of Bank of America until the 1998 merger with NationsBank, when the company moved its headquarters to the Bank of America Corporate Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.[7] A 70 percent interest was acquired by Vornado Realty Trust from foreign investors in March 2007 with a 30 percent limited partnership interest still owned by Donald Trump, managed by the Vornado Realty Trust.[8]

Background[edit]
Colloquially known as "Triple Five", 555 California Street was meant to display the wealth, power, and importance of Bank of America. Design was by Wurster, Bernardi and Emmons and Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, with architect Pietro Belluschi consulting; structural engineering was by the San Francisco firm H. J. Brunnier Associates. The skyscraper has thousands of bay windows thanks to its unique design, meant to improve the rental value and to symbolize the bay windows common in San Francisco residential real estate. The irregular cutout areas near the top of the building were designed to suggest the Sierra mountains.[9] At the north side of the skyscraper is a broad plaza named in honor of Bank of America founder A.P. Giannini.
Masayuki Nagare's sculpture Transcendence, locally referred to as "Banker's Heart".
In the plaza the 200-ton black Swedish granite sculpture "Transcendence" by Masayuki Nagare resembles a liver but is derisively known as the "Banker's Heart". Nearly the entire block—the skyscraper, the banking hall, the plaza, the stairways, and the sidewalks—is clad in costly polished or rough carnelian granite. A restaurant, the "Carnelian Room", was on the 52nd floor. The elevator to this restaurant is one of the few publicly accessible high-speed elevators in San Francisco. The restaurant closed at midnight New Year's Eve 2009.[10]
In 1971, 555 California Street, then just two years old, appeared at the beginning of the film Dirty Harry, where it is the roof from which Scorpio snipes a woman in the now-closed pool atop what is now the Hilton Financial District hotel on Kearny Street. The film shows panoramic views of San Francisco from the roof of the building. In 1974, 555 California Street was again used for a box-office hit, this time in Irwin Allen's blockbuster The Towering Inferno, in which the outside plaza substituted for that of the film's fictional skyscraper, the infamous Glass Tower which on the night of its dedication, catches fire. Many scenes were also filmed in the interior ground-floor lobby. The granite stairs coming up from California Street to the A.P. Giannini plaza were used for several key specific scenes including the opening dedication ceremony, the arrival of fire trucks and the final scene on the steps with the characters played by Paul Newman, Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. The rooftop setting of the building used in Dirty Harry was also used a decade later in the Chuck Norris film An Eye for an Eye (1981).
The southeast corner of California and Kearny is about 35 feet (11 m) above sea level, so the top of the building is over 800 feet (240 m).[5] With the Transamerica Pyramid, 555 California Street shows the direction San Francisco's downtown was moving during the 1960s before campaigns against high-rise buildings in the 1970s and 1980s forced development to move south of Market Street. The Transamerica Pyramid is taller, but because of its top spire, 555 California has the highest habitable space.
The corner of California and Montgomery is built on landfill and the lowest level of the parking garage is below the level of the bay, so pumps, audible from the garage, keep water out.[citation needed] The building is built on two huge Teflon slabs meant to slide over each other in case of an earthquake, state of the art design when it was built.[citation needed]

Shahenshah (English: Emperor) is a 1988 Bollywood vigilante film starring Amitabh Bachchan in the title role, along with Meenakshi Sheshadri. The film was produced and directed by Tinnu Anand. The story of the film was written by Amitabh Bachchan's wife Jaya Bachchan and the screenplay was written by veteran screenwriter Inder Raj Anand, who died before the film was released. The film marked Bachchan's comeback to films after a three-year hiatus during which he had entered politics. Bachchan still had films releasing during the hiatus, as they were projects he had previously completed. The film became the second highest grossing film of 1988.[2] It is remembered for the famous dialogue "Rishtey mein hum tumhare baap lagtey hai...naam hai Shahenshah". The film is also remembered for Bachchan's mesmerizing performance as a comic policeman and a crimefighting superhero.

Plot[edit]
The movie opens with a corrupt and sniveling bank manager Mathur (Prem Chopra) and crime baron J.K. Verma (Amrish Puri). Mathur is in a financial dilemma as he has illegally borrowed J.K. 2.5 million rupees, and J.K. orchestrates a bank robbery to bail him out. Inspector Anand Shrivastav (Kader Khan) gets wind of this plot. He is about to crack the case when J.K. enlists an exotic dancer, Julie (Aruna Irani), to use the robbery as a backdrop and frame the honest inspector for corruption. Inspector Shrivastav is arrested and is imprisoned for three months. Inspector Shrivastav, the honest and innocent inspector, is so depressed about the false charges that he hangs himself at home after being released on bail. This creates a lasting and powerful impression on his young eight-year-old son, Vijaykumar (Amitabh Bachchan). Vijay retains the noose his father used to hang himself. He would someday restore his father's honour. Vijay and his mother leave their house and live in the house of another police inspector named Aslam Khan, who would take care of them as Vijay grows up.
Years later, a young Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) in the inspector uniform, grows up in the care of Inspector Aslam Khan (Pran), Inspector Shrivastav's friend and partner, who has allowed Vijay and his mother to live with him, and Vijay becomes a cop himself. Vijay is friends with Shaheena, the daughter of Aslam Khan. Aslam Khan is an honest cop much like Vijay's father. Vijay is an obsequious and cowardly inspector, prone to bribery and generally scared of powerful criminals. It doesn't take JK long to find Vijay, get him on the payroll, and run his underworld crime empire (drugs, guns, racketeering) past the cops.
A new apparition bursts upon this scene who calls himself "Shahenshah", a costumed crime fighter (see movie poster). He has a left iron hand which is used to attack enemies and smash objects, and Shahenshah's other weapon is a noose. Oddly enough, it is the same noose Vijay's father used to hang himself with. This is because it is revealed a bit later that Shahenshah is actually Vijay. When wearing Shahenshah's attire, Vijay describes himself as "one who doesn't hold a cop's job but does the same work; one who apprehends criminals himself, conducts the trials himself, and, pronounces and executes the sentences himself". A bit later, the mysterious Shahenshah reveals to the public that he is none other than Vijay. Frustrated and helpless at the corruption in the police force, Vijay has employed this new tack to get to the criminals. Vijay/Shahenshah's outward mission is to take out crime, but his real goal is to get to the guys who framed his father.

Shahenshah quietly breaks up several of J.K.'s gambling dens and illicit liquor distilleries. He also halts the demolition of a slum. This catches the eye of small-time trickster Shalu (Meenakshi Seshadri) who lives there with her aging and ailing mother Julie. J.K. had ordered her assassination after she helped frame Vijay's father; she hasn't there been on the run from him ever since; this becomes Shalu's motivation for seeking out and eliminating J.K. Shalu decides to infiltrate J.K.'s coterie by becoming an exotic dancer. One night, she attempts to kill J.K. by shooting him but is shocked when J.K. reveals he had been wearing a bullet-proof vest the whole time. Vijay lies to J.K. that Shahenshah's weakness is not letting Shalu die. He also lies that if J.K. returns Shalu to Shahenshah, Shahenshah will return J. K.'s goods worth millions. But J.K. is ultimately fooled. Shahenshah later detonates a bomb planted in J.K.'s truck.

The fun begins when J.K. murders an honest crime reporter Mohammed Salim (Vijayendra Ghatge), who was about to expose J.K.'s crime ring. Salim was married to Shaheena (Supriya Pathak), the daughter of Aslam Khan, and was also Vijay's brother-in-law. Vijay now decides to turn around his image as a cowardly cop. He openly defies J.K. Julie agrees to testify against J.K. Shalu provides ancillary evidence. And J.K. prepares for an all out war against Shahenshah/Vijay, Shalu and the lot of his enemies. At Salim's funeral, only one of the many witnesses of his death were present. He was about to reveal J.K.'s name, but a sharpshooter named Rana Pratap Singh shot him to death.
There is a veritable bloodbath on the streets as Inspector Vijay tries to get Julie into the courthouse. And there is a final showdown where Shahenshah reveals his secret identity and becomes the nemesis for all the culprits. To give himself a chance to escape, J.K. abducts Shalu. The showdown leads Vijay, dressed in Shahenshah's attire, chasing J.K. to the roof of the courthouse where J.K. is pleading his case, because his cover is blown. J.K. falls through a hole in the roof and is clinging on for dear life, with the whole court, judge sahab, audience and all looks on in astonishment. Vijay throws the noose down to J.K., and he gratefully accepts it. J.K., being the ruthless man that he is, attempts to attack Vijay. Vijay lets go of the noose, which slips around J.K.'s neck, and before the whole court, J.K. Verma is hanged, avenging Inspector Shrivastav and Salim the reporter, Shaheena's husband.

Development[edit]
Tinnu Anand, who had made the very successful film Kaalia with Amitabh, wanted to make another movie with him during the early 1980s. The story of Shahenshah was written by Amitabh's wife, Jaya Bachchan[3] and further refined by Tinnu Anand's father Inder Raj Anand. Even though Anand signed up Bachchan in 1983, the film could not commence shooting because only three days before shooting was to begin in Bangalore, Amitabh fell seriously ill.[4] After a thorough medical examination it was revealed that he had developed myasthenia gravis, a rare chronic autoimmune disease marked by muscular weakness without atrophy.
Due to Amitabh's illness and his commitments to other movies, the start of Shahenshah's shooting was delayed until 1985.[4] By this time, the main heroine of the film, Dimple Kapadia, was replaced by Meenakshi Sheshadri.[4] The now iconic costume that Amitabh donned in this movie weighed almost 18 kg, and despite his illness, Amitabh insisted on wearing the costume in all of his fight scenes.[5]
The shooting eventually wrapped up in October 1987. Even though the film was initially planned to be released in November, the release date kept on being pushed back due to the threat of a boycott of the movie by some opposition political parties.[4] These parties had had some conflict with Amitabh while he was a Congress MP and they maintained bitterness towards him even after he had retired from politics.
Shahenshah was finally released in February 1988 and went on to become a huge blockbuster earning over 6 crores by its fifth week.[6] The film performed very well at the box office despite strong competition from other superhit movies like Tezaab and Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, both of which were targeted towards the newer generation.

The 2017 World Snooker Championship (also referred to as the 2017 Betfred World Snooker Championship for the purposes of sponsorship) was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 15 April to 1 May 2017 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England.[1] It was the 19th and final ranking event of the 2016/2017 season.
The tournament was the 40th anniversary of the World Championships at the Crucible and was broadcast in Europe by the BBC and Eurosport.
Defending champion Mark Selby retained his title, beating John Higgins 18–15 in the final.[2]

Tournament summary[edit]
Seeding and qualifying rounds[edit]
The top 16 seeds automatically qualified for the last 32. Defending champion Mark Selby was seeded 1, while other seedings were allocated based on the latest world rankings. All the other players (from 17th place in ranking) started in the first round of qualifying and were required to win three best-of-19-frame matches to reach the Crucible. Qualifying rounds were held at the Ponds Forge International Sports Centre in Sheffield from 5 to 12 April 2017.[3]
After losing to Mark Selby in the China Open final, two-time former World Champion Mark Williams failed to regain his place in the Top 16 (to the benefit of Ryan Day) and was required to play in the qualifying rounds. He lost 10–7 to Stuart Carrington in his final qualifying match and failed to reach the Crucible for the second time since 1996.[4]
Gary Wilson made the 131st official maximum break in the fourth frame of his first round qualifying match against Josh Boileau on 6 April 2017. This was the second maximum break of Wilson's career.[5]
At 123 minutes and 41 seconds, the deciding frame of the third round qualifying match between Fergal O'Brien and David Gilbert on 12 April was the longest frame on record in the modern era of the game, beating the previous record of 100 minutes and 24 seconds set by Alan McManus and Barry Pinches in 2015. The frame and match was won by O'Brien.[6]
Five debutants (David Grace, Noppon Saengkham, Gary Wilson, Yan Bingtao and Zhou Yuelong) qualified for the main stage at the Crucible.[4]
First round[edit]
After losing four consecutive first-round matches at the Crucible following his semifinal appearance in 2012, Stephen Maguire defeated fellow Scot Anthony McGill 10–2 in the first round.[7]
Two-time semifinalist Marco Fu trailed Luca Brecel 0–5, 1–7, 4–8 and 8–9 before winning 10–9.[8]
Ronnie O'Sullivan made his 25th consecutive appearance at the World Championship and withstood a fight back from qualifier Gary Wilson from 5–9 to 7–9 to go through to the second round 10–7. O'Sullivan has made the last 16 in all but two editions of the event in the last 20 years since 1997, including 14 consecutive last 16 appearances, which equals the record set by Terry Griffiths.[9]
Peter Ebdon, 2002 champion, appeared at the Crucible for the 24th time (though not consecutively) since first qualifying in 1992 but lost 5–10 to 2015 champion Stuart Bingham.[10] Peter Ebdon rescued the final frame of the first session via respotted black from a seemingly impossible position when 15 additional points were needed to equal the score in the 9th frame.[11]
In the all-Chinese match in the first round, 2016 runner-up Ding Junhui defeated debutant Zhou Yuelong 10–5.[12]
The biggest shock of the first round was qualifier Rory McLeod's 10–8 victory over world No. 2, and bookmakers' joint favourite, Judd Trump, who had led 4–0.[13] Prior to the tournament, Trump had proclaimed "I honestly believe I can play to a standard which is very rare nowadays," and that he was "the best" in the world.[14] Trump's poor performance in the match, which ran into a third session, was exacerbated by a shoulder injury, which caused him visible pain when down on shots.[15]
46 year-old McLeod became the oldest player to reach the last 16 since Steve Davis' quarterfinal run in 2010 at the age of 52. He was also the lowest ranked player, at 54, to make it to the last 16.[citation needed]
2006 World Champion Graeme Dott beat twice former runner-up Ali Carter 10–7 in a tense encounter to reach the last 16.[16]
2010 champion Neil Robertson made his 500th career century during his 10–4 first round win over Noppon Saengkham of Thailand.[17]
Stuart Carrington became only the fifth player, after John Higgins, Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Selby and Neil Robertson to make century breaks in 3 consecutive frames in a World Championship match during his encounter with Liang Wenbo; however, Liang won the match 10–7.[18]
7 former world champions qualified for the last 16: Selby, Bingham, O'Sullivan, Higgins, Robertson, Dott and Murphy. Ebdon was the only former champion in the main draw not to reach the second round (losing to Bingham).[19]
None of the five debutants David Grace, Noppon Saengkham, Gary Wilson, Yan Bingtao or Zhou Yuelong, made it to the second round. Xiao Guodong was the only first-round winner who had previously not won a match at the Crucible.[20]
Second round[edit]
Kyren Wilson advanced to his second quarterfinal by beating 2015 champion Stuart Bingham 13–10. It would also be Wilson's second consecutive quarterfinal appearance.[21]
5-time world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan made his 18th crucible quarterfinal appearance by beating Shaun Murphy 13–7.[22]
2016 runner-up Ding Junhui beat fellow countryman Liang Wenbo by 13–12, having led 6–2 in the process.
Having trailed 5–2, 4-time world champion John Higgins beat Mark Allen 13–9.[23]
Stephen Maguire beat Rory McLeod 13–3 with a session to spare to reach his first crucible quarterfinal since 2012.[24]
Quarterfinals[edit]
John Higgins advanced to his first semi-final since his 2011 World Championship win by defeating Kyren Wilson 13–6. With the score at 3–3 Wilson miscued and split his tip, leading to a 15-minute tip replacement break.[25]
The defending champion Mark Selby beat the previous year's semi-finalist Marco Fu 13–3 with a session to spare.[26] Selby's victory included a memorable 143 clearance which Stephen Hendry (commentating on the match for BBC) described as "one of the best [breaks] I've ever seen." [27]
2016 runner up Ding defeated O'Sullivan 13–10 in a high quality quarter-final. Ding went into a 3–0 lead but O'Sullivan fought back to level the first session at 4–4. Ding dominated the second session and opened up a 10–6 overnight lead. O'Sullivan reduced his arrears to 8–10 and 10–12 in the third session before Ding clinched the match in frame 23.[28]
O'Sullivan attempted a 147 maximum break in frame 20 of his quarter final with Ding. He ran out of position after potting the 13th red and had to take the pink instead of the black and made 146, which still ended up as the highest break of the championship.[29]
Barry Hawkins reached his fourth Crucible semi-final in five years, beating Stephen Maguire, the only unseeded player to reach the quarter-finals, 13–9.[30]
Semifinals[edit]
In a high-quality and tightly contested match, Mark Selby beat Ding Junhui 17–15 in a repeat of the previous year's final.[31]
In the other semifinal John Higgins qualified for his sixth World Championship final over a span of 19 years and his first in six years. He did so with a 17–8 victory over Barry Hawkins.[32]
Final[edit]
The final, contested by Mark Selby and John Higgins, was a repeat fixture of the 2007 final which Higgins won 18–13.[33] Higgins was the second oldest Crucible World finalist at 41 years and 11 months. Only Ray Reardon was older – 49 in the 1982 final and 45 when he won his last title in 1978. Only 4 men in their 40s have played in a world final at the Crucible: Ray Reardon, John Higgins, John Spencer and Terry Griffiths.[34]
The final marked the first time in Crucible history that multiple champions have met in the final of the World Championship. All-time it is the third different combination of players to have participated in such a final. The other combinations are Fred Davis vs. Walter Donaldson (1951, 1952, 1953, 1954) and John Pulman vs. Fred Davis (1965, 1966).[35]
In the final, Selby trailed 6–2 after the first session, and 10–4 during the second before finishing the first day 10–7 behind.[36][37] He fought back to win 6 out of the next 7 frames to lead 13–11 after the third session.[37] The players then shared the next six frames before a contentious decision by the referee in the 31st frame where he judged Mark Selby to have not hit the black as he attempted to roll up behind it and awarded a seven-point penalty – Higgins won the frame to pull back to 16–15.[36] Selby fought back with a clearance of 131 and then a break of 75 to take the title 18–15.[37][38]
No player had come back to win from six frames or more behind in a World Championship final since Dennis Taylor trailed Steve Davis by 8–0 and later 9–1 in the 1985 final. Selby became the fourth player (after Steve Davis, Stephen Hendry, and Ronnie O'Sullivan) to successfully defend the world title in the Crucible era. He also became the third man (after Hendry and Ding Junhui) to win five full ranking titles in a single season, the first man to win the China Open and the world title back-to-back, and the first man to win over £1m across the two-year rolling money list. Higgins went back to world number two as a result of his run to the final.[36]
