Shalivahana was a legendary emperor of ancient India, said to have ruled from Pratishthana. He is believed to be based on a Satavahana king. There are several contradictory legends about him. Most legends associate him with Vikramaditya of Ujjain, in some way. In some legends, he is presented as an enemy of Vikramaditya. According to some inaccurate legends, his birth or one of his battle victories marked the beginning of the Shalivahana calendar era, another name for the Saka era. Ananta's heroic poem Viracharita mentions Shalivahana as a rival of the king Vikramaditya of Ujjain. According to it, Shalivahana defeated and killed Vikramaditya, ruled from Pratishthana. Shudraka was his son Shakti Kumara. Shudraka allied with Vikramaditya's successors and defeated Shakti Kumara; this legend is full of mythological stories. Paramara-era legends associate the Paramara rulers with legendary kings, in order to enhance the Paramara imperial claims. In the Bhavishya Purana, the Paramara king Bhoja is described as a descendant of Shalivahana, named as a grandson of Vikramaditya.

According to the text, the first Paramara king was Pramara, born from a fire pit at Mount Abu. Vikramaditya and Bhoja are described as the descendants of Pramara, thus, members of the Paramara dynasty. Bhavishya Purana mentions that Vikramaditya ruled Bharatavarsha bounded by Indus river in the west, Badaristhana in the north, Kapila in the east and Setubandha in the south. A hundred years after his death, many languages and many religions had developed in the 18 kingdoms of the Aryadesha; when the outsiders such as the Śakas heard about the destruction of dharma in Aryadesha, they raided the country by crossing the Indus and the Himalayas. They returned to their countries with the wives of the Aryas. Shalivahana, the grandson of Vikramaditya subjugated the Śakas and other barbarians, he defined the maryada to distinguish the Aryans from the mlecchas, established Indus as the border between the Aryan lands and the land of the mlecchas. Subsequently, Shalivahana once came to a snowy mountain in the land of the Hunas.

There, he met Isamasi, who had appeared because the truth had been destroyed in the land of the mlecchas. Shalivahana bowed to him and returned home. In Aryadesha, he performed an ashvamedha sacrifice, ascended to the heaven. 500 years after Shalivahana, his descendant Bhoja fought against foreign invaders including "Mahamada", a character modeled on Muhammad and Mahamud Ghazanvi. The text presents the doctrine of Jesus as consistent with the Vedic dharma, while Muhammad is presented as demonic. According to Theodor Aufrecht, the passages about Jesus were inserted by an employee of the Venkatesvara Press, which published its first printed edition of the text in 1897. According to Giorgio Bonazzoli, this part was inserted by "some clever pandit" in the 19th century. Another book was retranslated by Vidwan in Kannada language during the time of Jayachamarajendra Wodiyar of Mysore. Chola Purva Patayam, a Tamil language manuscript of uncertain date, contains the following legend about Shalivahana:Shalivahana was born in Ayodhya, in a potter's house, by grace of Adi-Sheshan.

When he grew up, he became a king and defeated Vikramaditya, marking the beginning of the Shalivahana calendar era. Shalivahana was an alien Nastika Shramana, persecuted all those who refused to convert to his faith, he revoked all the privileges. The non-Shramana ascetics started retiring to wilderness, prayed Shiva and Vishnu to stop the new king's atrocities. Shiva appealed the Adi Parabaram to be allowed to start a rain of fire in Shalivahana's kingdom. Adi-Sheshan warned him about the upcoming disaster. Shalivahana asked his people to hide in the river to escape the rain of fire; when Shiva opened his third eye and started raining fire, the people survived thanks to Shalivahana's advice. Shiva sent down a rain of mud; those hiding in the stone houses suffocated to death. Those hiding in the rivers, including Shalivahana and his army, survived. To destroy Shalivahana, Shiva now created the Three Crowned Kings: Vira Cholan, Ula Cheran, Vajranga Pandiyan; the three kings came to bathe together at the triveni sangam in Thirumukkoodal, formed an alliance against Shalivahana.

Next, they went through a number of adventures including Kashi and Kanchi. With the blessings of Durga, they found treasure and inscriptions of Hindu kings from the age of Shantanu to Vikramaditya, they reached Cudatturiyur, where Vira Cholan wrote letters to all those who worshipped Shiva and Vishnu, seeking their help against Shalivahana. A number of people assembled at Cudatturiyur to support the three kings' campaign; when Shalivahana heard of this preparation, he marched towards south and took possession of the strong citadel at Tiruchirappalli. The three kings sent their envoy to Shalivahana, asking him to renounce his faith; when he refused and their allies assembled an army at Thiruvanaikaval. From an inscription that they had earlier found at Kanchi, they

Karl Wilhelm Reichsgraf Finck von Finckenstein was a Count of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, a Prussian diplomat, Prime Minister of Prussia. He was the son of Count Albrecht Konrad Finck von Finckenstein, a Field Marshal and Governor of the Crown Prince of Prussia, the future King Frederick II. Finckenstein studied in Geneva, after which he travelled in the Low Countries. In 1735 he was appointed to the Prussian diplomatic service. Frederick II, who became king in 1740, knew Finckenstein well from his own childhood and had great confidence in him. In 1740 Frederick sent him as minister to Sweden to Denmark, in 1742 to Great Britain. In 1744 he was sent again to Sweden, when Frederick's sister Louisa Ulrika married Adolf Frederick of Sweden. In 1747, Finckenstein was made a Minister of state, became envoy to Russia, he returned to Prussia in 1749, where he became a Cabinet Minister and henceforth the most trusted advisor to the King. During the Seven Years' War, Frederick issued a secret decree on 10 January 1757, "in the case of his death or capture", which appointed Finckenstein as Regent of Prussia in that event.

After the end of the Seven Years' War, Finckenstein had sole control of Prussia's foreign relations, he had a prevailing influence over the King. This continued after Frederick's death in 1786, under his successor Frederick William II, right up to Finckenstein's death in 1800. In 1785, he negotiated the Prussian-American Treaty of Amity and Commerce with the United States Ambassador to France Thomas Jefferson, renewed it in 1799 after negotiations with the United States Ambassador to Prussia John Quincy Adams; the Treaty was signed to promote free trade and commerce and became a benchmark for subsequent free trade agreements and treaties. It was the first one signed by a European power with the United States after the American Revolutionary War; the Kingdom of Prussia became therefore one of the first nations to recognize the young American Republic. Additionally, the Treaty demanded the unconditionally humane treatment of war prisoner, a novelty at the time. Finckenstein died on 3 January 1800.

He was 85 years old, had been a State Minister for 53 years. He was a knight of the Order of the Black Eagle, the highest Prussian order

According to one film critic, the films that "typify the characters and conflicts associated with Chase's work" were Winchester 73, Bend of the River and The Far Country:First of all, two strong men are involved in an arduous journey across the western terrain, with units of society either contained within the journey itself or as various stops along the way; the primary involvement of the movie is the conflict between two men, who tend to be linked by some common bond... In some cases the conflict is internal, the hero against the evil inside himself. Although Chase created strong females in films... most Chase stories are male conflicts.

Chase once said "is the greatest love story in all of the world. I don't mean sexual. I have always believed that a man can love and respect another man more so than he can a woman."... Straightforward dialogue, absence of pretentious philosophizing, delineated action mark the story progressions, which culminate in unambiguous resolutions. Any ambiguities lie in the maturity of the characterizations, in which the two men are neither good nor bad. In t
