Mala vita
Mala vita (Wretched Life) is an opera in three acts composed by Umberto Giordano to a libretto by Nicola Daspuro adapted from Salvatore Di Giacomo and Goffredo Cognetti's verismo play of the same name.
 Giordano's first full-length opera, "Mala vita" premiered on 21 February 1892 at the Teatro Argentina.
 It was subsequently performed in Naples, Vienna, Berlin and Milan, and other Italian cities over the next two years.
 In 1897 a considerably re-worked and revised version under the title "Il voto" (The Vow) premiered in Milan.
 Within a few years both versions had disappeared from the repertoire.
 Amongst its rare modern revivals was the 2002 performance at the Teatro Umberto Giordano in Foggia which was recorded live and released on the Bongiovanni label.

Gumrah (1963 film)
Gumrah (Hindi: गुमराह , English: "Astray" ) is a 1963 Hindi film produced and directed by B. R. Chopra.
 The film stars Sunil Dutt, Ashok Kumar, Mala Sinha, Nirupa Roy, Deven Verma and Shashikala.
 The music was composed by Ravi while the lyrics were by Sahir Ludhianvi.
 It was remade in Malayalam as "Vivahita" (1970), starring Padmini, Prem Nazir and Satyan.
 It was also a hit.
 It is really surprising that while Shashikala got Filmfare's award in 'Best Supporting Actress Category', Mala Sinha was totally ignored by Film Fare although her role was equally tough and difficult and she gave her one hundred percent share. Vide Cor Meum

Mexican immigration to Spain refers to the Mexican population in Spain and their Spanish-born descendants.
 The Mexicans living in Spain are composed primarily of students, skilled professionals, spouses of Spaniards, as well as Mexican citizens who also have Spanish nationality.
 In December 2008, the National Statistics Institute in Spain had 14,399 registered Mexicans within its territory, of which 7,210 hold other nationalities of the European Union or are family members of EU citizens.
 To this number must be added those with dual nationality, who are not in Spanish records as foreigners.
 Mexican and Spanish laws allow dual citizenship, and many Mexicans who have asked for it, whether they are residents in Spain as grandchildren or they are children of Spanish migrants to Mexico.
 In 2010, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico recorded 21,107 Mexicans living in Spain, who became the third largest Mexican community residing abroad, after the United States and Canada; and the largest Mexican community in Europe. Little Deviants

VPX was originally defined by American Logic Machines Inc (ALM) as a scalable backplane technology.
 The VPX3264, VPX3232 bridge chips and the scalable backplane were based on VPX.
 VPX technology was presented at bus&board (VITA) in 2004.
 ALM continues to build custom chipsets for clients including VME-to-PCIX, VME-to-Futurebus+ and other custom scalable backplane technologies.
 VPX, formerly known as VITA 46, is an ANSI standard (ANSI/VITA 46.0-2007) that provides VMEbus-based systems with support for switched fabrics over a new high speed connector.
 Defined by the VITA (VME International Trade Association) working group (composed of companies such as ADLINK, Aitech, Boeing, Curtiss-Wright, Elma Electronic, Extreme Engineering (X-ES), GE Intelligent Platforms, Kontron, Mercury Computer Systems, Pentek, Cornet Technology, Inc., and Northrop Grumman), it has been designed specifically with defense applications in mind, with an enhanced module standard that enables applications and platforms with superior performance.
 VPX retains VME's existing 6U and 3U Eurocard form factors, supporting existing PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) and XMC mezzanines (PMC with high-speed serial fabric interconnect), and maintaining the maximum possible compatibility with VMEbus. Mala Pasqua!
Mala Pasqua!
 (Bad Easter!)
 is an opera in three acts composed by Stanislao Gastaldon to a libretto by Giovanni Domenico Bartocci-Fontana.
 The libretto is based on Giovanni Verga's play, "Cavalleria rusticana" ("Rustic Chivalry") which Verga had adapted from his short story of the same name.
 "Mala Pasqua!"
 premiered on 9 April 1890 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome, six weeks before Pietro Mascagni's opera "Cavalleria rusticana" which was also based on Verga's play.
 Bartocci-Fontana's libretto adds some elements that were not in Verga's original and expands on others.
 The name of the Santuzza character was also changed to Carmela, but the basic plot and setting remain the same.
 Its title refers to the curse which Carmela places on Turiddu, the lover who had spurned her: "Mala Pasqua a te!"
 ("May you have an evil Easter!")
.
 Following its Rome premiere "Mala Pasqua!"
 had a few more performances in Perugia and Lisbon, but it was completely eclipsed by the phenomenal success of Mascagni's opera.
 After the 1891 Lisbon run it was not heard again until 2010 when it was given a semi-staged performance in Agrigento, Sicily. Kosovo–Switzerland relations

Vimalamitra was an 8th-century Indian monk.
 His teachers were Buddhaguhya, Jñānasūtra and Śrī Siṃha.
 He was supposed to have vowed to take rebirth every hundred years, with the most notable figures being Rigzin Jigme Lingpa, Khenchen Ngagchung, Kyabje Drubwang Penjor Rinpoche and Kyabje Yangthang Rinpoche. '
 Vimalamitra' was more known to the Bhutanese and Tibetans as 'Penchen Vimalamitra' meaning 'the Great Pandita'.
 He was one of the eight teachers of the great Indian (now Pakistani) adept Guru Padmasambhava.
 Centuries later he was adopted as a literary character of terma and was attributed various works.
 Chatral Sangye Dorji (1913-2016) was said to have received a mala rosary from a man who was at the time dressed as an Indian Sadhu.
 It was only later that Rinpoche told his attendants that he received a mala on that day from Vimalamitra in real.
 The attendants were curious and went back to the place where they met a sadhu only to be left lost and I found.
 The sadhu was not to be found anywhere.
 One scholar remarked that the historical Vimalamitra "would have been astonished to find himself the focus of such a tradition."
