Married at First Sight (Australian TV series)

Married At First Sight is an Australian reality television series, based on the Danish program of the same name, on the Nine Network. The show featured couples getting married by being matched by "experts".[1] However, unlike other versions of the show around the world, the couples do not partake in a legally-binding marriage due to legal restrictions in Australia, but instead meet as strangers at the altar of a commitment ceremony.[2] The couples spend their wedding night in a hotel, then leave for a honeymoon. Upon returning they live together for a period of time, during which they meet at commitment ceremonies and choose whether or not they will continue their relationship.

The first season premiered on 18 May 2015 on the Nine Network.[3] A second season began on 4 April 2016[4] with the third season premiering later in the same year on 29 August 2016.[5] A fourth season premiered on Monday 30 January 2017.[6] The fifth season premiered on Monday 29 January 2018.[7] The sixth season premiered on Monday 28 January 2019.[8] The seventh season premiered on Monday 3 February 2020.[9]

During the first season, a panel of "experts" matched four females with four males. In the first episode, two couples (Michael & Roni, Clare & Lachlan) got married at their first introduction. In the second episode, another two couples (Zoe & Alex, Michelle & James) did the same. The couples embarked on married life for the rest of the season.[10] In the fourth episode, the couples met each other for the first time and discussed their current experiences.

Scientific Detective Monthly was a pulp magazine published by Hugo Gernsback, first appearing in January 1930. It was intended to focus on detective and mystery stories with a scientific element, but there were also one or two science fiction stories in every issue. The title was changed to Amazing Detective Tales with the June 1930 issue, perhaps to avoid the word "scientific", which may have given readers the impression of "a sort of scientific periodical", in Gernsback's words, rather than a magazine intended to entertain. At the same time, the editor—Hector Grey—was replaced by David Lasser, who was already editing Gernsback's other science fiction magazines. The title change apparently did not make the magazine a success, and Gernsback closed it down in October after releasing 10 issues. He sold the title to publisher Wallace Bamber, who produced at least five more issues in 1931 under the title Amazing Detective Stories. (Full article...)

The Dadasaheb Phalke Award is India's highest award in cinema. It is presented annually at the National Film Awards ceremony by the Directorate of Film Festivals, an organisation set up by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. The recipient is honoured for their "outstanding contribution to the growth and development of Indian cinema" and is selected by a committee consisting of eminent personalities from the Indian film industry. The award comprises a Swarna Kamal (Golden Lotus) medallion, a shawl and a cash prize. First presented in 1969 to actress Devika Rani, the award was introduced by the Government of India to commemorate the work of Dadasaheb Phalke (pictured). Phalke (1870–1944), who is popularly known as the "father of Indian cinema", was an Indian film-maker who directed India's first full-length feature film, Raja Harishchandra (1913). As of 2017[update], there have been 49 awardees. Among those, the only posthumous recipients are actors Prithviraj Kapoor (1971) and Vinod Khanna (2017), the latest recipient. (Full list...)
