A double bill of films set in India. Comedy-drama 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' (2011) follows the experiences of a group of elderly Brits who arrive to take up residence in a newly-opened retirement home in Bangalore, India. Despite its glossy publicity campaign, the Marigold turns out to be rather different from the refurbished luxury hotel advertised in the brochures.
However, it soon begins to reveal some unexpected charms of its own. Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Dev Patel, Tom Wilkinson and Maggie Smith star.
'Slumdog Millionaire' (2008), the rags-to-possible riches tale, was the winner of eight Oscars at the 2009 Academy Awards, including Best Film and Best Director.
Jamal Malik (Patel) is an 18-year-old street kid from the slums of Mumbai. So what is he doing appearing on the Indian version of 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'? How can a young man from his background of poverty have acquired the knowledge to be only one correct answer away from winning 20 million rupees? With only one more question to be asked, however, the dream turns to nightmare. As the hooter sounds to signal the end of the show, Jamal is arrested and accused of cheating.
No one can believe that he could really know all of the answers he has given. As Jamal tells the story of his life to the police, the reasons for his success begin to appear. Will Jamal be freed to hear the final question and, if so, will he know the answer?
The past decade has witnessed a leap in the cyber revolution around
the world. Significant progress has been made across a broad
spectrum of terminologies used in the cyber world. Various threats
have also emerged due to this cyber revolution that requires far
greater security measures than ever before. In order to adapt to
this evolution effectively and efficiently, it calls for a better
understanding of the ways in which we are ready to embrace this
change. Advances in Cyberology and the Advent of the Next-Gen
Information Revolution creates awareness of the information threats
that these technologies play on personal, societal, business, and
governmental levels. It discusses the development of information
and communication technologies (ICT), their connection with the
cyber revolution, and the impact that they have on every facet of
human life. Covering topics such as cloud computing, deepfake
technology, and social networking, this premier reference source is
an ideal resource for security professionals, IT managers,
administrators, students and educators of higher education,
librarians, researchers, and academicians.
