Planet Hollywood

Planet Hollywood International Inc.  (stylized as planet Hollywood, planet Hollywood observatory and ph) is a themed restaurant chain inspired by the popular portrayal of Hollywood. The company is owned by Earl Enterprises corporation. Earl Enterprises was founded by Robert Earl.

It was launched in New York City on October 22, 1991, with the backing of Hollywood stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. The actors recruited were paid for their appearances and endorsements through an employee stock ownership plan. Further celebrity endorsement included actors Demi Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Don Johnson, Cindy Crawford, Melanie Griffith, Tom Arnold, Wesley Snipes, and Danny Glover; director John Hughes; comedian Roseanne Barr; and The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr.

Background
Robert Earl had a history of opening theme-restaurants first in Britain (1970s) and in Orlando, Florida. In 1987, he sold this restaurant group (President Entertainments; 70 restaurants) to a larger company, Pleasurama PLC. For Pleasurama, Earl acquired control of Hard Rock Cafe International (eastern rights company) from co-founder Isaac Tigrett then in 1989 named as chief executive of the company. At the end of 1989, Mecca Leisure acquired Pleasurama. Mecca was then purchased by the Rank Organisation in 1990. While expanding Hard Rock Cafe from seven to 20 locations over the next two years, Earl met Bryan Kestner, with whom he had a shared vision of music, movies, and sports transcending language and other barriers.

History
Planet Hollywood was opened in late 1991 in New York City, at the base of two adjacent office buildings at 130 and 140 West 57th Street. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis were some of the actors who became investors/promoters. By the next year, three more locations were opened: London, southern California, and  Chicago. In 1993, the company opened two new locations, Washington, D.C., and Cancun, Mexico, while arranging leases for five new locations. Each new unit, opening with a gala event, generated nearly $15 million revenue in their first operational year.

With its success, the company continued its aggressive expansion plan in 1994 while turning its attention to developing more theme-restaurant concepts, one of which was the Official All Star Café, a sports version of Planet Hollywood. Given the go ahead, they started recruiting professional sports figures and planning its stadium and home cuisine menu and planning its merchandise.

The brand's highest-grossing location unit was opened in Las Vegas in 1994 with double the usual seating to 500. This was followed later in the year by another 500-seater at Walt Disney World.

With expansion operating smoothly, Earl started working on other area of growth in 1995. Construction on the All Star Café's first location in New York City began in August 1995 near the Planet Hollywood and opened on December 18, 1995. Development was started on a Marvel Comics-based restaurant concept and on a Planet Hollywood Squares television game show with King World and Roseanne Barr's production company based on the Hollywood Squares. With the success of the merchandise, stand alone retail stores, Planet Hollywood Superstores were opened around 1996.

Public corporation
As of the May 1998 IPO circular, the celebrities were only minor holders of stock with Earl and Barish owning 57.2 percent and a 24.2 percent stake owned by Ong Beng Seng. In April 1996, Planet Hollywood went public on the New York Stock Exchange at $18 a share. The company's share price reached an all-time high of $32 on the first day of trading; by 1999, it was down to less than $1. The company has gone bankrupt twice. In addition to going public, the company had MBNA issue Planet Hollywood VISA credit cards that gave cardholders priority restaurant seating. Planet Hollywood International and ITT Corporation formed a joint venture for Planet Hollywood casinos. The corporation and Marvel Entertainment Group agreed to launch the Marvel Mania comic book character-based restaurant concept. The company also had started to develop Chefs of the World concept, which would feature a "'star-studded' culinary staff".

The company planned to expand by 30 to 40 percent each year in annual revenue and the number of restaurant locations. Additional competitors also started up, including Country Star chain, Harley-Davidson Café, Robert De Niro's Tribeca Grill and Thunder Roadhouse. Some speculated that the company had thinned its resources too much, and, with the trend of novelty location visits dropping, store revenue would continue to drop.

In September 1997, Planet Hollywood International Inc. announced its Cool Planet Cafe ice-cream shop chain which would open 10 locations in 1998. ITT Corporation and Planet Hollywood were in discussion early September 1997 for a Planet Hollywood hotel near Times Square. The corporation then formed on September 24, 1997, a joint venture for an Official All Star Hotel.

In the fourth quarter of 1997, the company recorded a $40 million loss. Too much focus on diversification showed that the original chain was neglected with mediocre food, high menu prices and below normal service. In early November 1998, Barish resigned as board chairman while retaining his board director post and filing to sell some of his company's stock. Earl replaced him as chairman. Barish was replaced by William Baumhauer as president. The franchise in Cape Town, South Africa, had a bomb attack in August 1998. $244 million in losses were recorded in 1998.

The first Marvel Mania opened in January 1998 near Universal Studios Hollywood. With MTV Networks, Planet Hollywood opened its first Sound Republic in London in mid-1998. In July 1999, the company started its Planet Movies by AMC. In August 1998, the first Cool Planet Cafe opened in Santa Monica, California.

In March 1999, Barish resigned as board director and sold shares that week. At a May 1999, shareholder's annual meeting, the company indicated that a delayed-payment agreement was in negotiation and that they were renovating some and are considering closing other outlets.

Causing little change on the company's net profit/loss line, Baumhauer resigned in June 1999, with the company having $359 million in debt on the books to return to his previous employer, Unique Casual Restaurants. By July 1999, Planet Hollywood had sold its Orlando HQ for cash and leased it back for 15 years. On October 12, 1999, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in an attempt to reorganize. They closed or sold poorly performing Planet Hollywood restaurants and Official All Star Cafes. It moved to focus to its original theme concept, stopping operation of Planet Movies by AMC and sold its Sound Republic units.

Schwarzenegger severed his financial ties with the business in January 2000. Planet Hollywood exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 9, 2000, with the approval of its reorganization plan. New celebrities were sought out for their restaurants while renewing relationships with early recruits. The plan included capital and debt restructuring including a cash infusion plus new products and improvements to decor and the menu. Planet's first website was launched with entertainment news and chat rooms. Earl, Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal and Ong Beng Seng had led restructuring plan which left the company with 35 locations, 25 of which were franchised.

Barred due to its bankruptcy, Planet Hollywood International had relisted in May 2000 on the NASDAQ. In September 2000, the Official All Star Cafe in Times Square was closed with the Planet Hollywood taking over its 600-seat location. While this All Star location was profitable, Planet Hollywood was more profitable. The company was also coming out of Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

In October 2001, Planet Hollywood International filed again for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Blaming the economic slowdown from the September 11 attacks, the company had $135 million in debt.

In July 2010, Earl hired a CEO and president, David Crabtree, for Planet Hollywood and its parent company from Westgate Resorts. Planet Hollywood Resorts International, LLC signed on Wyndham Hotel Group to develop franchises for Planet Hollywood Resorts in September 2010.

In April 2022, Planet Hollywood announced plans to offer more than 60,000 of its memorabilia, including photographs and movie posters, as NFTs under MetaHollywood.

In May 2023, the Planet Hollywood Restaurant located in the Forum Shops at Caesars, was permanently closed. The restaurant had been located at the Forum Shops for 29 years. Planet Hollywood opened its original Forum Shops location in July 1994, and subsequently moved to the Forum Shops’ third floor terrace level in 2012. The Cafe Hollywood at Planet Hollywood hotel-casino remains open.

Buca di Beppo
In September 2008, Planet Hollywood International Inc. acquired Buca, Inc., the owner of the Buca di Beppo national restaurant chain.

Planet Hollywood bombing
In August 1998, the Planet Hollywood restaurant in Cape Town, South Africa, was the target of a terrorist bombing killing two people. The perpetrators of the bombing stated it was in retaliation for American air-raids conducted in Sudan and Afghanistan.

Talk:Naginata

Naginata as sport should be listed under this article not under naginatajutsu. Naginata left the suffix of "way" after WW2 and also dropped the prefix "atarashii" pretty quick. Naginata as a sport is simply Naginata なぎなた. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.217.213.99 (talk) 21:26, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I removed the sentence "During the Edo Period all Japanese women were required to master the naginata by age 18."; perhaps some segment such as samurai women in some geographic location or women in the Ōoku were required to master it?

Naginatakas
This page previously read: Naginatakas were often used to create space at the battlefield. User:66.195.118.2 has changed the first word of that sentence to "naginatas" under the assumption it was a misspelling. My assumption however is that this is the Japanese suffix -ka as in karateka "practicioner of Karate." So it is probably not a misspelling.

That said, I'm not sure if I should revert it or not: the term naginataka was not explained elsewhere in the article (making it easy to assume it was just a misspelling) and the sentence still makes fairly good sense with the change.

So should we leave it as it is, revert it, or perhaps go a third way and change it to "Soldiers armed with naginatas..."?

--Iustinus 17:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

 * As a naginata practicioner myself, the term "naginatika" is not commonly used to describe naginata practicioners. The Southern California Naginata Federation's web glossary does include the term, although I have never heard it or seen it in print outside of that glossary, so I wouln't consider it to be a final authoritative source, it may have arisen only in Western practice.  Many of the Japanese martial arts, do not use the -ka suffix.

 * I do think we should revert it, as the term, even if relevant is being used improperly. Soldiers in a battlefield context would not be referred to as "naginatikas", they would be referred to by their rank or position on the battlefield (sohei, samurai, etc...).  The sentence is intended to show that the naginata, in a battlefield situation, was significant because, like other pole arms, it could distance the user from their attacker, putting attackers with hand to hand weapons at a disadvatage.  The weapon's role is what is being described, not the training of the user.  Glowimperial 19:23, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent points. However I cannot understand the text as you have ammended it: "Naginatas were often used by both foot soldiers to create space on the battlefield." What do you mean by "both foot soldiers"? Surely this is some sort of error. --Iustinus 06:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It was an error. It originally was going to read Naginatas were often used by both foot soldiers and cavalry to create space on the battlefield., but I removed the cavalry reference, as the naginata wouldn't have been used by cavalry as a space clearing or crowd control weapon, the cavalry use of the naginata is not well documented, and I can't speak directly to it's function, other than as a weapon, when used by cavalry.  I'll fix the entry now. Glowimperial 14:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Appearance in fiction
It seems to me that in an article like this, having a pop-culture list is particularly senseless. I mean, the naginata is a fairly well-know weapon, so of course it's going to appear all over. It seems like having a list of movies in which swords or spears have appeared. --Iustinus 20:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I've had the same thought. I think there is room for the section, though  It should be for notable apperances in  fiction only.  What is a notable apperance?  Using the sword as an example Excalibur's apperance in the Grail stories would be good example of notable.  I'm not sure what notable apperances the naginata makes in historical Japanese fiction, and research into the subject would be difficult, as naginatas and spears are often confused in both original versions and moreso in translations of Japanese literature, both historical and fictional.

 * A catalog of every anime, video game or manga giving as little as a brief glimpse of the naginata is not helpful to the end user. In those narratives, the naginata is often depicted as a much more dynamic/showy weapon than it is in those fictions, and they provide no real information as to it's real world practice or forms. That's not to say that there shouldn't be mention of it's interpretation in fiction - swords are portrayed in fiction just as unrealistically. Glowimperial 01:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree that an exhaustive listing of every appearance of naginata or naginata-like weapons would not be productive, since, as previously mentioned, the actual construction and usage of the weapon differ significantly from how it is often portrayed. Many of the references given are not of naginata at all, but of other polearm weapons such as the Chinese Kwan Dao, or entirely fictional weapons, such as the reference to Matt Cauthon's polearm in The Wheel of Time.  I haved removed a number of erroneous references, however, I do believe the list should stay as a helpful supplement to the photos provided.  I have to disagree with the original statement that the naginata is a "well-known weapon".  Prior to when I took up the study of the naginata, I had never heard of it, and I have never once encountered someone other than a kendo practicioner who had heard of it. ReMarkAble 02:30, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * It certainly seems to be "well known" in the East: pretty much every period movie or anime shows someone using a naginata (or attempts to: as you say the construction might not be right). Even in the West it shows up in a lot of movies that take place in Japan or the greater Orient. Not to mention the slew of video games still listed. It still seems to me that this is a waste of engergy: it's too commonly depicted a weapon, and fans of this-or-that video game or movie are going to keep adding every little reference to the list. --Iustinus 04:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Contradiction
The article on the nagamaki says the naginata can trace its origins back to the BCs.

 * The article on nagamaki is incorrect. The early origins of the naginata are still murky.   I'll try to sort it out. Glowimperial 12:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Good ref for you guys
"Developed a thousand years ago as warriors’ pole-arms, naginata later passed to samurai wives for defense. Eventually, “a fine naginata became a requisite item in the dowry of a samurai bride,” said Ray Sosnowski, a Maryland engineer, Zen lay priest and instructor of weapons arts. In 1912, naginata was introduced in Japanese high schools, where it remains a staple of girls’ physical education. Though Japanese men disdain it, perhaps half the roughly 200 United States naginata practitioners are male, Mr. Sosnowski estimated. Today’s naginata are slender and lightweight, up to seven and a half feet long, with curved tips of wood or bamboo. Their use — to batter, stab or hook an opponent — makes sense for women, as it relies on “the centripetal force of rotating hips, of swinging arms, and of the long, rotating weapon” rather than upper-body strength, Mr. Sosnowski explained....For naginata information, go to naginata.org/naginata.html."

The use of this citation in the entry is incorrectly formatted for Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AntiangelicAngel (talk • contribs) 05:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Pronounciation
Is this pronounced na-gi-nata or nanguinata? The gi is as in give?--Jondel (talk) 17:17, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Nakinata, bisento, glaive
Not thinking these are alike--the bisento and glaive are more more 'cleaving blades', more similar to the dao, while the naginata is much more similar to the katana. Ie, there is a much more uniform blade width for the naginata. Not sure if there IS a comparable European weapon. Theblindsage (talk) 08:55, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Leverage
"The long shaft offered it more leverage in comparison to the hilt of the katana, enabling the naginata to cut more efficiently."

This statement is incorrect. Mechanical advantage is not sought in the construction of a bladed weapon, at least, not typically. Certain weapons, such as axes and maces, do use mechanical advantage (and weight) to inflict maximum damage. But in general, the speed of the weapon is the important thing, for which you require mechanical disadvantage. For example, if I have a weapon which is 3ft long, 2ft blade and 1ft hilt, assuming the guard to be the axis of rotation, I have a mechanical advantage of 1/2. In a lever, this would be awful; I'd have to exert fifty pounds of force to lift twenty five pounds of weight. In a sword, this is optimal. Here's why. Imagine I move the hilt 90 degrees, a distance of about 1.5ft in one second. The other half of the lever, the blade, has to move to the same angle, but because it's twice as long as the hilt, it moves about 3ft. IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. Thus it is moving twice as fast as the hilt, which is the reason swords are built like they are. It's about speed, not force. It's a rather persistent myth that force pressure is what damages you when hit; it is not. It is the speed of that force pressure. Most swords weigh less than a kilo. It's the same idea as a gunshot, really. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.180.172.50 (talk) 21:25, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

 * I second this. The naginata is long because it gives more reach, not because it makes cutting more efficient. In fact, leverage makes cutting less efficient, because not only is edge alignment more difficult to get right, but draw cuts are also more difficult to get right. If you try to use leverage when cutting with this kind of weapon, that's the easiest way to damage it. There's a reason why you never see anyone tackle more than one tatami roll at a time with a naginata, but with a sword you can cut through many - precisely because your hands are closer to the centre of percussion, which is in the blade. With a polearm of sufficient length, with a substantial amount of shaft between the forward hand and the blade, the centre of percussion is still in the shaft. This can be remedied by gripping farther towards the blade, but then you sacrifice reach. Bottom line is, the sword will always be a more efficient cutter than the polearm.

Photo Inconsistency
The colour photo is said to be from 1870. Color photography was not commercial at that time. The odds of it being authentic are very low. Plus I wonder if those pants aren't modern.

Pole/shaft/hilt
I've learned from the other wiki (a russian-lang one) that unlike a pole-arm weapon, which has a "pole" or "shaft", naginata has a "hilt". Is it only because of the oval cros-section of naginata's hilt? The rus. article doesn't have detailed explanation on that point. But as I opened eng. article I saw that there is no mention about such peculiarity at all. I think that point should be enlightened in the article. With a reference to a literature. I probably could've done it by myself but I think native-english-speaking someone could do it faster, easier and correctly. -- Nikelsad (talk) 00:58, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Remote access service

A remote access service (RAS) is any combination of hardware and software to enable the remote access tools or information that typically reside on a network of IT devices.

A remote access service connects a client to a host computer, known as a remote access server. The most common approach to this service is remote control of a computer by using another device which needs internet or any other network connection.

Here are the connection steps: Many computer manufacturers and large businesses' help desks use this service widely for technical troubleshooting of their customers' problems. Therefore you can find various professional first-party, third-party, open source, and freeware remote desktop applications. Which some of those are cross-platform across various versions of Windows, macOS, UNIX, and Linux. Remote desktop programs may include LogMeIn or TeamViewer.
 * 1) User dials into a PC at the office.
 * 2) Then the office PC logs into a file server where the needed information is stored.
 * 3) The remote PC takes control of the office PC's monitor and keyboard, allowing the remote user to view and manipulate information, execute commands, and exchange files.

To use RAS from a remote node, a RAS client program is needed, or any PPP client software. Most remote control programs work with RAS. PPP is a set of industry standard framing and authentication protocols that enable remote access.

Microsoft Remote Access Server (RAS) is the predecessor to Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Server (RRAS). RRAS is a Microsoft Windows Server feature that allows Microsoft Windows clients to remotely access a Microsoft Windows network.

History
The term was originally coined by Microsoft when referring to their built-in Windows NT remote access tools. RAS is a service provided by Windows NT which allows most of the services which would be available on a network to be accessed over a modem link. The service includes support for dialup and logon, presents the same network interface as the normal network drivers (albeit slightly slower). RAS works with several major network protocols, including TCP/IP, IPX, and NBF. It is not necessary to run Windows NT on the client—there are client versions for other Windows operating systems. RAS enables users to log into an NT-based LAN using a modem, X.25 connection or WAN link.

Starting in the mid-1990s, several manufacturers such as U.S. Robotics produced "modem terminal servers". Instead of having RS-232 ports, these would directly incorporate an analog modem. These devices were commonly used by Internet service providers to allow consumer dial-up. Modern versions interface to an ISDN PRI instead of having analog modem ports.

Remote access services are now commonly used for online technical support for personal computers. The first instance of this was in 1987 in the United Kingdom, provided by a company called Jade Technologies. This used the MS-DOS based program called PC Anywhere to directly link into MS-DOS and early Windows-based PCs. The company had been providing RAS support for Unix based corporate systems since 1985.

Minsara Kanavu

Minsara Kanavu is a 1997 Indian Tamil-language musical romantic comedy film that was co-written and directed by Rajiv Menon. The film stars Arvind Swamy, Prabhu Deva, and Kajol in her Tamil debut, and revolves around Priya (Kajol), a convent student who wants to become a nun. Having returned to India from his studies overseas, Thomas (Swamy)—Priya's childhood friend—falls in love with her following their first meeting at her convent. With the help of hairstylist Deva (Prabhu Deva), who is known for his ability to change woman's minds, Thomas tries to dissuade Priya from her ambition but Deva instead falls in love with her.

AVM Productions wanted to make a film to celebrate their golden jubilee in 1997. The project, which would be titled Minsara Kanavu, was produced by M. Saravanan, M. Balasubramanian, and M. S. Guhan. Menon responded to an advertisement for a director and cinematographer, and made his directorial debut with the film. Venu and Ravi K. Chandran completed the principal photography, and Prabhu Deva choreographed the film. A. R. Rahman composed the soundtrack, which received positive reviews, and the songs "Mana Madurai", "Strawberry", "Thanga Thamarai", and "Vennilave" became popular.

Minsara Kanavu premiered on 14 January 1997 during the Pongal festival and ran in theatres for over 175 days. The film was a commercial success in Tamil Nadu, though it initially opened to mediocre box-office earnings, but its dubbed versions performed poorly in North India and Telugu states. Critical reception to the film was mixed-to-positive; the plot, the cast's performances—particularly that of the lead actors—the screenplay, the cinematography, and the soundtrack were praised. The film won several accolades, including two Cinema Express Awards, one Filmfare Awards South, four National Film Awards, one Screen Awards, and three Tamil Nadu State Film Awards.

Plot
Priya is a student at Lawrence School, Ooty known for her friendly, and precocious nature. Since childhood Priya is interested in singing, and church. Priya's father Amalraj is a widower and a clothing industrialist who expects Priya to look after Amalraj Garments, but her main ambition is to become a nun. Amalraj tries to stop this by unsuccessfully trying to arrange a marriage for Priya. Thomas Thangadurai, a non-resident Indian, returns to his home town Ooty after earning PhD from Harvard to look after his father James Thangadurai's business. James, a former associate of Amalraj, had set up his clothing business opposite Amalraj's factory. Amalraj dislikes James due to his boorish and clumsy attitude, even though Thomas and Priya are childhood friends.

Priya, after several years at the convent, unexpectedly meets Thomas, who is visiting his aunt, the Mother Superior of the Lawrence School. He takes Priya's help in surprising his aunt with a gift on her birthday, and falls in love with Priya but is unable to tell her. Thomas is shocked when he learns of Priya's ambition to become a nun; he approaches a hairstylist named Deva, who is known for his ability to change women's minds, to stop her ambition. Deva is hesitant but accepts. Deva and his friend, a blind, aspiring musician named Guru, befriend Priya and persuade her to join their music troupe. Priya's singing talent helps the troupe gain recognition and they are approached to audition for a film. Deva, Guru, and the rest of the troupe play tricks to make Priya fall in love with Thomas. Deva soon realises that he is also falling in love with Priya.

Complications arise when Priya reciprocates Deva's love and Thomas, with the help of Deva, declares his love to Priya. Priya finds out about Deva's reason for his association with her and, feeling betrayed, decides to return to the convent to undergo nun training and fulfil her ambition. She quits Deva's and Guru's troupe at Chennai and leaves. Deva tries to persuade Priya to remain with the troupe but he gets into a serious accident and falls into a coma. Priya undergoes the training but cannot forget Deva. Deva recovers from his coma and is visited by Thomas, who is upset and angry but realises Deva and Priya are meant for each other. Thomas rushes to the convent on the day Priya is to become a nun and, with the help of the Mother Superior, changes her mind and persuades her to marry Deva.

Thomas, now a priest, baptizes the daughter of Deva and Priya, who are married. Deva is looking after his father-in-law's business and Priya is working as a full-time singer. Guru has become a renowned music composer but is facing charges of plagiarism; James redistributes his wealth to everyone.

Development
AVM Productions wanted to make a film commemorating their 50th anniversary in 1997. They wanted the film Minsara Kanavu, which was produced by M. Saravanan, M. Balasubramanian, and M. S. Guhan, to revolve around young people. Before choosing a director, the three producers approached Prabhu Deva to play the male lead and A. R. Rahman to compose the music. Rahman suggested his friend Rajiv Menon, then an advertisement director and film cinematographer, to direct the project. Menon thought about the offer for two months, saying he was not "mentally prepared" to direct a film. Initially reluctant, he was persuaded to direct the project by Rahman and filmmaker Mani Ratnam, and so this became his directorial debut. Menon wrote Minsara Kanavu story, which is based on Robert Wise's 1965 film The Sound of Music; he also co-wrote the screenplay with V. C. Guhanathan in English.

Casting
Arvind Swamy was cast as Thomas, a non-resident Indian who, after returning from his studies abroad, meets and falls in love with his childhood friend Priya; he had earlier been Menon's replacement for the lead role in the 1992 film Roja. Menon's wife Latha suggested the Bollywood actor Kajol to play Priya, making Minsara Kanavu one of her only two appearances in Tamil cinema—the other being in Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (2017). He originally wanted Aishwarya Rai for the role but felt she was "too stylish" and that he wanted a woman "who looked Indian". He recommended her to Ratnam, whom he thought was better than her; she would instead star in Ratnam's Iruvar (1997), her acting debut. Another actress, Madhuri Dixit, was chosen but she rejected the offer due to her busy acting schedule. Kajol said working on Minsara Kanavu was an "unforgettable experience", and that she was happy Menon gave her the part immediately after the earlier choices rejected it. Kajol, a non-Tamil speaker, had her voice dubbed by Revathi.

Prabhu Deva, the first actor to be cast in the film, played the hairstylist Deva and also choreographed the film. The producers chose Vikram to dub him; Menon said they "wanted a new voice for Prabhu Deva". Nassar, playing the aspiring musician Guru, found the part fun and working in the film to be a "delightful experience". He described the character as high-spirited and added that "it was like, going through my youth again. Dancing, for instance—I never thought I could dance, but in this film I did it and loved it too." Janaki Sabesh, who was later known for portraying mother roles, made her acting debut in Minsara Kanavu by playing a nun. S. P. Balasubrahmanyam was chosen to play Thomas' father James. In his obituary published by The Hindu in 2020, Menon said Balasubrahmanyam was "so enthusiastic and joyous on [the] set", noting that it was interesting to see him acting opposite Girish Karnad, who played Priya's father Amalraj.

Filming
Venu and Ravi K. Chandran did the principal photography on Minsara Kanavu, and Chandran was credited with providing additional cinematography. Asked on his decision to not handle the cinematography, Menon said working as a director and cinematographer simultaneously could make him not "pay attention to both the departments equally". Menon even approached his mentor Ashok Mehta to handle the cinematography, but Mehta could not accept due to other commitments. Saravanan's brother Palu's daughter Lakshmipriya, who had returned from her costume design studies in Singapore, designed the costumes. Thota Tharani finished the art direction, Vikram Dharma was the action director,  and Prabhu Deva, Farah Khan, and Saroj Khan did the choreography. Filming took place at Lawrence School, Lovedale; in preparation, Menon interacted with several Christian priests. The song "Thanga Thamarai" was filmed at an artificial waterfall, while the filming for "Poo Pookkum Osai" took place as AVM's studios in Madras (now Chennai) and Ooty, Kullu, and Manali. Filming took between 70 and 75 days, and the footage was edited by Suresh Urs.

Soundtrack
Minsara Kanavu soundtrack album includes six songs that were composed by A. R. Rahman with lyrics by Vairamuthu. Recording of the tracks took place at Panchathan Record Inn. The film used different ragas (melodic modes) throughout the soundtrack, with the choral music being written in Sankarabharanam, and the song "Anbendra Mazhayile in Anandabhairavi. In an interview with Frontline Balasubrahmanyam said of the recording session of "Thanga Thamarai": "[I]t required a tone that reflected the feelings of someone totally smitten and intoxicated by love. The character singing the song in the film is on a high after finding his girl." He said he tried to imitate the composer, who helped to record vocals for the singer. Rahman chose K. S. Chithra for the song "Mana Madurai", also known as "Ooh La La La". He advised Chithra not to sing as she usually does but to completely open her voice to sing the track. The re-edited version of the track was featured on the international musical Bombay Dreams.

The soundtrack album was released on 25 December 1996, with the cast and crew attending the event and M. K. Stalin, the then-Mayor of Chennai, as the chief guest. Lyrics for the dubbed-Telugu soundtrack were written by Vennelakanti. Javed Akhtar wrote lyrics for the Hindi version of the soundtrack and a new song titled "Teri Meri Baat" was added.

Release
Minsara Kanavu was released on 14 January 1997 during the Pongal festival released at the same time as Ratnam's Iruvar, with which it competed. On its opening, Minsara Kanavu drew mediocre box-office earnings but it was eventually a success after running for 216 days in Chennai. On 3 August 1997, an event was held to celebrate its silver jubilee. In order to celebrate the film's silver jubilee, AVM collaborated with 3 Roses tea brand and conducted a contest where audience who answered questions from the film will be travelling in a special train with cast and crew specially organized for the film's silver jubilee.

Minsara Kanavu Telugu-dubbed version Merupu Kalalu, which was also released on 14 January, was a commercial disappointment. Screen suggested the possibility of the film, whose themes are intended for youths, being rejected by youths themselves. The magazine also thought that this was due to the producers, who took "a gamble in acquiring the rights of the films without knowing anything of their story or content". Minsara Kanavu was dubbed into Hindi as Sapnay, which premiered on 2 May 1997 and also failed commercially. The result of the Hindi version caused Menon to stop dubbing his films into that language.

Critical reception
Minsara Kanavu received mixed response from critics. S. R. of Kalki praised the film's cinematography and music but criticised the plot and found the climax tiring. K. N. Vijiyan, who reviewed the film for the New Straits Times, likened its plot with that of a Hollywood film, finding it to be "vaguely similar. But even so, it has been adapted well to suit Indian culture." Calling the film "good entertainment", he lauded its screenplay and Kajol's performance, adding that she was at her best when she is "her naughty self or belting out songs" such as "Maana Madurai". Writing for The Indian Express, M. S. M. Desai was ambivalent about the Hindi dubbed version Sapnay, saying it is filled with many songs and dances that make "the pace of the narrative dull and drab".

Initial responses to the soundtrack were unfavourable; Desai said Rahman "fails miserably to come up with catchy numbers", but reception improved in the 21st century. The songs "Mana Madurai", "Strawberry", "Thanga Thamarai", and "Vennilave" became popular. A critic from Behindwoods stated Rahman's work is "an electrifying effort", noting it as one of the rarest albums in which all of the songs were chartbusters.

Variorum

A variorum, short for (editio) cum notis variorum, is a work that collates all known variants of a text. It is a work of textual criticism, whereby all variations and emendations are set side by side so that a reader can track how textual decisions have been made in the preparation of a text for publication. The Bible and the works of William Shakespeare have often been the subjects of variorum editions, although the same techniques have been applied with less frequency to many other works.

Etymology
The word variorum is Latin for 'of various [persons]' and derives from the phrase cum notis variorum ('with notes by various people') which was often used in the title-pages of Dutch books of the 17th century.

Original meaning
An older meaning of the word refers not to the text itself but to the assortment of illustrative notes printed with it: 'an edition of a text (usually Latin or Greek) which includes annotations by a variety of critics and commentators'. Variorum editions of this kind were a speciality of Dutch publishers of the 17th century, including the house of Elzevir. In these editions the text is usually taken, with little or no attempt at constructive modification, from a single widely accepted critical edition of the period; the interest lies in the notes, which often fill three-quarters of each page, and which typically embody the complete commentaries of two or three recognised specialists in the work of the author in question, together with selected passages from several other commentators. The notes will usually include textual variants, both documented and conjectural, together with examples of parallel usages and (for non-fiction texts) historical information. Usually some middle-ranking literary man was appointed as general editor; occasionally, however, a first-rate scholar would preside over the edition and include original work of his own within it, Nicolaas Heinsius's edition of Claudian (Elsevier, 1661) being a good example.

Notable variorum editions
A variorum of the Bible has been produced at various times in history and of various scopes. Documenting each line of text with variants in wording, from  known source documents, presented chronologically, helps translators of the Bible establish primacy and prevalence of various line readings.

There have also been noteworthy variorums of the works of William Shakespeare, including the readings of all quartos and folios; the textual decisions, or choices, of past editors; and a compilation of all critical notes. The first was that of Isaac Reed in 1803. Variorum editions help editors and scholars understand the historical evolution of the Shakespeare texts, whether to decode dubious lines and elucidate claims of authorial intent or using a more contextualist hermeneutics to uncover other explanations for the textual variations.

Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is typically presented in variorum format, with both the 1781 and 1787 editions printed side-by-side in nearly all modern editions.

Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species went through six editions with extensive changes. The text became a third larger, with numerous parts rewritten five times. A variorum was published in 1959.

There is also a variorum of Leaves of Grass. Walt Whitman produced either six or nine editions during his lifetime. The New York University Press produced a variorum in 1980 of these various editions.

The James Strachey translation of Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams in volumes four and five of The Standard Edition of The Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud collates eight editions.

Rabindranath Tagore's works have been collated to produce a voluminous digital variorum. It can be viewed on the Bichitra website.

Victorio

Victorio (Bidu-ya, Beduiat; ca. 1825–October 14, 1880) was a warrior and chief of the Warm Springs band of the Tchihendeh (or Chihenne, often called Mimbreño) division of the central Apaches in what is now the American states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua.

In Victorio's War from September 1879 to October 1880, Victorio led a band of Apaches, never numbering more than 200 men, in a running battle with the U.S. and Mexican armies and the civilian population of New Mexico, Texas, and northern Mexico, fighting two dozen skirmishes and battles. He and most of his followers were killed or captured by the Mexican army in the Battle of Tres Castillos in October 1880.

War leader and chief
Victorio was born around the year 1825 near the Hacienda Encinillas, Chihuahua City (Ją’éłąyá), Mexico and its believed he was baptized with the name of "Pedro Cedillo", on his early childhood he was taken from the Hacienda by the Chihenne band during a raid to the site and he was raised as a warrior, then he received the name "Biduya".

Victorio grew up in the Chihenne band. There is speculation that he or his band had Navajo kinship ties and was known among the Navajo as "he who checks his horse". Victorio's sister was the famous woman warrior Lozen, or the "Dextrous Horse Thief".

In 1853 he was considered a chief or sub-chief by the United States Army and signed a document. In his twenties, he rode with Mangas Coloradas, leader of the Coppermine band of the Tchihendeh people and principal leader of the whole Tchihendeh Apache division (who took him as his son-in-law), and Cuchillo Negro, leader of the Warm Springs band of the Tchihendeh people and second principal leader of the whole Tchihendeh Apache division, as well as did Nana, Delgadito, Cochise, Juh, Geronimo and other Apache leaders. Mangas Coloradas taught Victorio how to create an ambush and to wait for enemies to enter the killing zone. As was the custom, he became the leader of a large mixed band of Mimbreños and Mescaleros (led by his friend – and probably brother-in-law as the husband of another daughter of Mangas Coloradas, as well the same Cochise – Caballero) and fought against the United States Army.

From 1870 to 1880, Victorio, chief of the Coppermine Mimbreños and principal leader of all the Tchihende, along with Loco, chief of the Warm Spring Mimbreños and second-ranking among the Tchihende, were moved to and left at least three different reservations, some more than once, despite their bands' request to live on traditional lands. Victorio, Loco, and the Mimbreños were moved to San Carlos Reservation in Arizona Territory in 1877. Victorio and his followers (including old Nana) left the reservation twice, seeking and temporarily obtaining hospitality in Fort Stanton Reservation among their Sierra Blanca and Sacramento Mescalero allies and relatives (Caballero was probably Victorio's brother-in-law and Mangus' uncle, San Juan was too an old friend and Nana's wife was a Mescalero woman), before they came back to Ojo Caliente only to leave permanently in late August 1879, which started Victorio's War. Despite Nautzili's efforts, many Northern Mescalero warriors, led by Caballero and Muchacho Negro, joined him with their families, and San Juan and other Mescaleros also left their reservation; many Guadalupe and Limpia Mescalero too (Carnoviste and Alsate were close allies to Victorio after 1874) joined Victorio's people. Victorio was successful at raiding and evading capture by the military and won a significant engagement at Las Animas Canyon in what is now the Aldo Leopold Wilderness on September 18, 1879.

Within a few months, Victorio led an impressive series of other fights against troops of the 9th, 10th, and 6th U.S. Cavalry near the Percha River (Rio Puerco) (January 1, 1880), in the San Mateos Mountains (January 17, 1880) and the Cabello Mountains near the Animas Creek (January 30, 1880), and again near Aleman's Wells, San Andres Mountains west of White Sands, (February 2, 1880), then again in the San Andres Mountains (perhaps near Victorio's Peak) routing the cavalrymen and chasing them to the Rio Grande (February 9, 1880), then (April 4, 1880) at Hembrillo Canyon, San Andres Mountains. In April 1880, Victorio was credited with leading the Alma Massacre – a raid on United States settlers' homes around Alma, New Mexico. During this event, 41 settlers were killed. Victorio's warriors were finally driven off by the arrival of American soldiers from Fort Bayard. However, Victorio continued his campaign with the attack on Fort Tularosa, where his warriors had to face a detachment (K troop) of the 9th Cavalry and were repulsed by the "Buffalo Soldiers" after a harsh fight. Victorio's camp near the Rio Palomas, in the Black Range, was surprised and attacked on May 23–25, 1880, but the Mimbreños and Mescaleros succeeded in repulsing the soldiers. After the Rio Palomas battle, Victorio went on some raids to Mexico repeatedly fording the Rio Grande, after having been intercepted and beaten off, with a 60 warriors' party, at Quitman Canyon (July 30, 1880). Chased by more than 4,000 armed men (9th, 10th, 6th U.S. Cavalry, 15th U.S. Infantry, Texas Rangers), Victorio evaded all of them for more than a month. On August 9, 1880, Victorio and his band attacked a stagecoach and mortally wounded retired Major General James J. Byrne.

Last stand and death
In October 1880, in north-eastern Chihuahua (a land well known to the Guadalupe and Limpia Southern Mescaleros), having sent Nana and Mangus to raid for food and ammunition, Victorio, with only a few warriors and even less ammunition, and his band were surrounded and killed by soldiers of the Mexican Army under Colonel Joaquin Terrazas in the Battle of Tres Castillos (29.967°N, -105.783°W).

An 1886 appendix for Papers Relating to the Foreign Nations of the United States states that, contemporaneously, the Tarahumara Scout credited with killing Victorio in 1880 was Mauricio Corredor. The Apache version states that Victorio actually committed suicide with a knife rather than face capture, and historians such as Kathleen Chamberlain note that the Mexicans at the battle could not identify which body was Victorio's.

Victorio in popular culture

 * Hondo (U.S., 1953) by John Farrow, with Michael Pate as Victorio;
 * Fort Bowie (U.S., 1958) by Howard W. Koch with Larry Chance as Victorio;
 * Apache Rifles (U.S., 1964) by William Witney with Joseph Vitale as Victorio;
 * Hondo (U.S., 1967) by Lee H. Katzin, with Michael Pate as Victorio;
 * Buffalo Soldiers (U.S., 1997) by Charles Haid with Harrison Lowe as Victorio.

An Apache chief named "Vittorio" and loosely based on Victorio appears as a minor antagonist in Harry Whittington's 1963 novel Desert Stake-Out. Vittorio takes several people captive after learning that one of them murdered his brother, but later releases them upon learning that the killer is already dead and that the novel's protagonist, Merrick, is well regarded by the Mescaleros.

In the Philippe Morvan's novel, Ours, published in 2018 by Calmann-Lévy, Victorio is an important character of the plot.

Mentioned in Ulzana's Raid by Burt Lancaster.

In famous comics Blueberry (comic), an Apache chief "Vittorio", again loosely based on Victorio is a recurrent character.

Tribute
A memorial statue of Victorio riding a horse is located in the city of Chihuahua, Mexico, as a recognition to the N’nee (chiricahua) and Apache peoples.

Nakajima G8N

The Nakajima G8N Renzan (連山, "Mountain Range") was a four-engined long-range bomber designed for use by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Navy designation was "Type 18 land-based attack aircraft" (十八試陸上攻撃機); the Allied code name was "Rita".

Design and development
In February 1943 the Imperial Navy staff asked Nakajima Aircraft Company to design a four-engined bomber, capable of meeting an earlier specification set for a long-range land-based attack plane. The final specification, issued on 14 September 1943, called for a plane with a maximum speed of 320 kn able to carry a 4000 kg bomb-load 2000 nmi or a reduced bomb-load 4000 nmi.

Nakajima's design featured a mid-mounted wing of small area and high aspect ratio, a tricycle landing gear and a large single-fin rudder. Power came from four 2,000 hp Nakajima NK9K-L "Homare" 24 radial engines with Hitachi 92 turbosuperchargers driving four-bladed propellers. The engines were cooled by counter-rotating fans positioned just inside the engine cowlings. Defensive armament included power-operated nose, dorsal, ventral and tail turrets along with two free-swiveling machine guns at the beam positions.

Operational history
The initial prototype was completed in October 1944 and delivered to the Navy for testing in January 1945, a year after the Navy ordered development to start. Three further examples were completed by June 1945, with the third prototype being destroyed on the ground by US carrier aircraft.

Other than minor problems with the turbosuperchargers, the Renzan performed satisfactorily and the Navy hoped to have a total of 16 prototypes and 48 production-version G8N1s assembled by September 1945. But the worsening war situation and a critical shortage of light aluminium alloys led to the project's cancellation in June.

One proposed variant was the G8N2 Renzan-Kai Model 22, powered by four 2,200 hp Mitsubishi MK9A radial engines and modified to accept attachment of the air-launched Ohka Type 33 Special Attack Bomber.

Just before Japan's surrender in August 1945 consideration was also briefly given to producing an all-steel version of the aircraft, to be designated G8N3 Renzan-Kai Model 23, but the cessation of hostilities precluded any further development.

After the war, one prototype was taken to the United States and scrapped after testing. None are in existence today.

Variants

 * G8N1 : Four-engine heavy bomber. Production version.
 * G8N2 : Modified to carry Ohka Type 33 Special Attack Bomber. Four Mitsubishi MK9A radial engines.
 * G8N3 : All-steel airframe.

Operators

 * Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service
 * Naval Air Technical Arsenal (and after february 1945, reorganised to 1st Naval Technical Arsenal)
 * Naval Air Technical Arsenal (and after february 1945, reorganised to 1st Naval Technical Arsenal)

Fi Zilal al-Quran

 (في ظِلالِ القرآن) is a highly influential commentary of the Qur'an, written during 1951-1965 by the Egyptian revolutionary Sayyid Qutb (1906-1966), a leader within the Muslim Brotherhood. He wrote (or re-wrote) most of the original 30 volumes (114 Surahs) while in prison following an attempted assassination of Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1954. The book outlines Qutb's vision of a Muslim state and society. It has had much influence throughout the Muslim world, especially amongst the ordinary lay practitioners of Islam in the Arab world.

The work extends to 30 volumes that correspond to the 30 juz' parts of the Qur'an. It has been translated into several languages, including English, French, German, Urdu, Turkish, Indonesian, Persian, Malayalam and Bengali. The full set of volumes covers the entire Qur'an.

Contents
From a social and political standpoint, some of the more important conclusions Qutb drew in his interpretation include:

 * On freedom of religion: Islam came to declare and establish the great universal principle that: "There shall be no compulsion in religion. The right way is henceforth distinct from error." (Verse 256) This reflects the honour God has reserved for man and the high regard in which man's will, thought and emotions are held, and the freedom he is granted to choose his beliefs, and the responsible position he is afforded to be judge of his own actions. Here lies the essence of human emancipation which 20th-century authoritarian and oppressive ideologies and regimes have denied mankind. Modern man has been deprived of the right to choose and live other than according to what is dictated by the state, using the full force of its colossal machinery, laws and powers. People are today given the choice only to adhere to the secular state system, which does not allow for a belief in God as the Creator and Master of the world, or to face annihilation. Freedom of belief is the most basic right that identifies man as a human being. To deny anyone this right is to deny him or her humanity. Freedom of belief also implies the freedom to express and propagate one's belief without fear of threat or persecution; The Quran asserts this Al-Imran 2. Islam gives everyone the right to exercise freedom of expression as long as they do not intrude upon the freedom and dignity of other people. There is no place for the propagation of evil and wickedness in Islam quran journey '
 * On the issue of human relationships:

 * "Allah wishes human life to be elevated, happy, based on pure motives and characterised by mutual compassion, brotherhood and purity of hearts and behaviour."

 * On the Victimization of Children of Israel by the Pharaoh:

 * "Tyrants are always ready to commit any crime, without hesitation, in order to retain power....That is tyranny: ignorant and stupid, but at the same time arrogant and conceited."

 * "The Children of Israel suffered persecution on a similar scale by Pharaoh and his clique, as stated in Sūrah 28, The Story, in which we read: 'Pharaoh made himself a tyrant in the land. He divided his people into casts, one group of which he persecuted, putting their sons to death and sparing only their daughters. Truly, he was an evildoer.' (28: 4). This is characteristic of tyranny everywhere, in all periods of history. It still resorts today to the same methods it employed centuries ago."

 * Opposition to Theocracy:

 * "Establishing the rule of God on earth does not mean that sovereignty is assigned to a particular group of people, as was the case when the Church wielded power in Christian Europe, or that certain men become spokesmen for the gods, as was the case under theocratic rule."

 * On Equality:

 * "It is only under this system that God’s law applies equally and in the same way to all people, rulers and ruled, white and black, rich and poor."

 * The importance of implementing true Islamic law and danger of people who "oppose the implementation of God's law." These are  people "who claim to be Muslims but perpetrate corruption,"
 * Jews as a perpetual opponent of Islam. The threat Jews pose to Islam is emphasized in Qutb's commentary on Surah 2:

 * "The war the Jews began to wage against Islam and Muslims in those early days has raged on to the present. The form and appearance may have changed, but the nature and means remains the same."

 * Again, in the commentary on Surah 5:

 * "The Muslim world has often faced problems as a result of Jewish conspiracies ever since the early days of Islam. ..."
 * "History has recorded the wicked opposition of the Jews to Islam right from its first day in Medina. Their scheming against Islam has continued since then to the present moment, and they continue to be its leaders, nursing their wicked grudges and always resorting to treacherous schemes to undermine Islam."

Conservative author Paul Berman stated that "In Qutb's interpretation, the sins and crimes of the Medina Jews in the seventh century have a cosmic, eternal quality -- rather like the sins and crimes of the Jerusalem Jews in some of the traditional interpretations of the Gospels."

Spiritwood

Spiritwood is a town in the boreal forest of central Saskatchewan, Canada with a population of approximately 1,000. Its location is 125 km west of Prince Albert and about 110 km northeast of North Battleford at the junction of Highway 3, Highway 24 and Highway 376. As the largest community in the region, the community functions as the major supply, service, and administrative headquarters for the trading area population which includes several First Nation reserves including Witchekan Lake, Big River and Pelican Lake.

History
The district began to be settled around 1911–12; however, growth in the area was slow until the coming of the railway in the late 1920s. The first settlers primarily engaged in ranching. The Spiritwood post office, which had been established in 1923, was named after Spiritwood Lake, North Dakota, the hometown of the first postmaster, Rupert J. Dumond. After the railway arrived, settlers of diverse origins poured into the district and many businesses were established. On October 1, 1935, Spiritwood was incorporated as a village and, by September 1, 1965, the community had grown large enough to attain town status.

This was the scene of the two deaths of RCMP officers in 2006, where after a 12-day manhunt, the suspect surrendered without incident.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Spiritwood had a population of $966$ living in $395$ of its $422$ total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of $913$. With a land area of 2.91 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

Economy
Mixed farming predominates and consists primarily of grain production. A Spiritwood company with global connections that focuses on pig genetics, producing breeding stock and commercial swine, has roughly 50 employees. There is some forestry in the region north of Spiritwood.

Attractions
The town has a range of recreational facilities.

Once hometown of the annual Silverbuckle Rodeo, a mid-summer attraction for many years, the grandstands are no more. "SpiritFest" is held annually in August. Spiritwood Museum is open seasonally throughout the summer months. The museum showcases the community's history, including an exhibition of antique farm tractors all freshly restored and in running condition. Campground facilities available with 12 sites.

Spiritwood is located in the centre of an area that features six golf courses (three grass greens and three sand greens), six regional parks and 35 lakes, all within a 60-minute drive. The lakes have fishing for perch, walleye, pike and trout. Its close proximity to lakes and parks with camping, boating, fishing, golfing, hunting, cross country skiing, snowmobiling and hiking.

Infrastructure
There is sewer/water capacity for 1,500 residents to allow for 50% community growth. Free Wi-Fi, Cellular service and Cable television are available.

Transportation
There is no bus service available to Spiritwood, so that with the railway gone and grain elevators closed, all bulk commodities including fertilizers, fuel, grain and livestock are transported by truck. Hwy 3, Hwy 24 and Hwy 376 provide access.

Spiritwood Airport (TC LID: CKH7), now defunct, was an uncontrolled public grass strip operated by Town of Spiritwood.

Crossgar

Crossgar  is a village and townland in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is about 15 mi south of Belfast – between Saintfield and Downpatrick. Crossgar had a population 1,997 people in the 2021 UK Census.

History
Crossgar has had an interesting and varied past, dating from the establishment of ancient Gaelic royal and ecclesiastical sites, the settlement of Anglo-Norman invaders, to Scots settlers, to the St. Patrick's Day riots in the 1800s. According to a history of Down and Connor by a Fr. O'Laverty, the parish of Kilmore, in which Crossgar lies, was likely to have been established around 800 AD and was the ecclesiastical centre of this part of County Down. It was thought that the area had seven chapels and these can be reasonably evident by the remains of burial grounds. But the seventh cannot be traced to a burial ground and is referred to as the "lost chapel of Cill Glaise". O'Laverty says that by tradition this chapel was built by Saint Patrick and left in the care of his disciples Glasicus and Liberius.

The name Crossgar comes from the Irish An Chrois Ghearr meaning "the short cross". There is a holy well known as St. Mary's Well (Tobar Mhuire) which suggests that in this case crois (cross) is likely to refer to an ecclesiastical cross, no trace of which now remains. The adjective gearr (short) may suggest that the cross was damaged or in some way defective. The parish of Kilmore comes from the Irish Cill Mhór meaning "big church" or another possible meaning is An Choill Mhór meaning "the big forest", which suggests that the area was covered by a large forest. Another location of one of the seven chapels is the townland of Killinchy (Cill Duinsí) meaning "Duinseach's Church".

Another early name derived from the bridge in the village named after Éimhear Óg Uí Néill was Ever Oque or Everogue Bridge.

In June 1920, during the Irish War of Independence, Irish Republican Army volunteers attacked the Royal Irish Constabulary barracks in Crossgar. They opened fire on the building, wounding two officers, and attempted to breach the walls with explosives before withdrawing.
