Defence Wards Matrimony
Connecting Hearts
Bravest Women of the Indian Armed Forces
In recent years, we have witnessed how women have progressed and established themselves well in all the fields. Especially in the armed forces field, India has been taking steps to crush gender barriers by enabling women to serve onboard submarines, in ground combat positions and tank units
2016 was the year when our president finally announced that women will be allowed to take up combat roles in all sections of the Indian armed forces, signalling a radical move towards gender parity in one of the world's most male-dominated professions.
As we just finished celebrating Women's Day, here we are proudly sharing with you inspiring stories of India's most respected female soldiers.
With their impressive records, they have established new frontiers for women in combat!
Padmavathy Bandopadhyay
Padmavathy Bandopadhyay was the first woman Air Marshal of the Indian Air Force. She joined IAF in 1968 and completed her Defence Service Staff College course in the year 1978, becoming the first woman officer to do so. Not only that, she was the first woman officer to become an aviation medicine specialist, the first woman to conduct scientific research at the North Pole (she studied the physiology of extreme cold acclimatization during the late 80s) and the first woman to be promoted to the rank of Air Vice Marshal and, last but not the least, she was awarded the Vishisht Seva Medal for her meritorious service during the 1971 Indo-Pak conflict.
Punita Arora
Born into a Punjabi family that moved to Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh during Partition, Punita Arora is the first woman in India to don the second-highest rank, Lieutenant General of Indian Armed Forces, as well as the rank of Vice-Admiral of Indian Navy. Earlier, she was the commandant of the Armed Forces Medical College in 2004, the first woman at the helm of the institute. She also co-ordinated medical research for the armed forces as additional director-general of Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS). Later, she moved from the Army to the Navy as the AFMS has a common pool that allows officers to migrate from one service to another depending on the requirement.
Priya Jhingan
On September 21, 1992, the feisty Priya Jhingan enrolled as 001 — the first lady cadet to join the Indian Army. A law graduate, Jhingan had always dreamt of joining the army. In 1992, she wrote a letter to the Army Chief himself, asking him to let women in. A year later, he did, and Jhingan and the other 24 new female recruits began their journey. When she retired, she said, "It's a dream I have lived every day for the last 10 years."
Mitali Madhumita
In February 2011, Lt Col Mitali Madhumita became India's first female officer to receive the Sena Medal for gallantry, a decoration given to soldiers for exemplary courage during operations in J&K and the northeast. Madhumita, who was leading the army's English Language Training Team in Kabul, was the first officer to reach the Indian embassy in Kabul that came under attack by suicide bombers on February 2010. Though unarmed, she literally ran close to 2 km to reach the spot, personally extricated nearly 19 officers of the Army training team who were buried beneath the rubble and rushed them to hospital.
Divya Ajith Kumar
At the age of 21, Divya Ajith Kumar beat 244 fellow cadets (both men and women) to win the Best All-Round Cadet award and get the coveted "Sword of Honour," the highest award given to a cadet of the Officers Training Academy. To achieve the "Sword of Honour," one must triumph the merit list, which comprises of P.T. tests, higher P.T. tests, swimming tests, field training, service subjects, obstacle training, drill tests, cross-country enclosures, among other things. The first woman to win this honour in the history of Indian Army, Captain Divya Ajith Kumar led an all-women contingent of 154 women officers and cadets during the Republic Day parade in 2015.
Nivedita Choudhary
Flight Lt Nivedita Choudhary became the first woman from the Indian Air Force (IAF) to summit the Mt. Everest – and the first woman from Rajasthan to achieve this feat. It was in October 2009 that Choudhary, an IAF officer who had just joined the squadron in Agra, chanced upon a broadcast calling for volunteers for IAF's women expedition to the Everest. She volunteered, without realising that, three years later, she would do what no woman in the air force had ever done. The other women on her team, Squadron Leader Nirupama Pandey and Flight Lieutenant Rajika Sharma, climbed the peak five days later.
Sophia Qureshi
Lt Col Sophia Qureshi of the Corps of Signals created history when she achieved the rare distinction of becoming the first woman officer to lead a training contingent of the Indian Army at Force 18, the ASEAN Plus multinational field training exercise held in 2016. She was also the only woman officer Contingent Commander among all ASEAN Plus contingents present for the exercise. An officer from the Corps of Signals of the Indian Army, 35-year-old Qureshi was selected from a pool of peacekeeping trainers to lead the Indian contingent.
Deepika Misra
In 2006, Deepika Misra became the first IAF woman pilot to train for the helicopter aerobatic team, Sarang. It was during her passing out parade at Air Force Academy in December 2006 that Deepika Misra, then a Flight Cadet, first fell in love with the aerobatic displays by the Surya Kirans and Sarang, IAF's fixed-wing and rotary-wing aerobatic display teams respectively. When the IAF sought women pilots to volunteer for the Sarang team in 2010, she jumped at the chance and was among the first to be inducted into the indigenous Advanced Light Helicopter squad.

1970 Plymouth Road Runner, 440 6 Pack 4 Speed, Crazy Purple!!
Harry's Thoughts
This is a very nice example that is sure to help make its new caretaker many happy memories!
REDUCED $20,000 for Quick Sale!! $125k Restoration!
This is a full rotisserie restoration of a 59,000 mile 440 6-Pack car that was originally bought from Cal Worthington Chrysler Dodge Plymouth in Long Beach, California and was optioned as you see it today: In Plum Crazy purple livery, white interior, 440 6-Pack and factory four speed manual transmission. What could be better?
Dave Witter bought the Road Runner on December 15, 1969. It was a car that was returned to the Cal Worthington after another couple decided they wanted an automatic GTX rather than a 4-speed car! They accumulated about 158 miles on the car over their three day ownership! Dave Witter then bought it as a returning serviceman in the military. He paid $2,936 for it and later drove it home to rural Missouri. He kept the Road Runner for 37 years!!
After 37 years of ownership Dave sold his Road Runner to our consignment client Jim from Yucaipa, California. Jim set out on a complete and thorough restoration of every component of the car by using a rotisserie and all local expert resources. The details of the restoration include:
-Complete rebuild of the factory warranty replacement block (correct 1970 440 block without numbers) with a NOS crank, rods and pistons, hardened value seats, manly valves and springs. Jim installed a Mopar Performance purple shaft cam (484 lift) that helps the Road Runner produce 475 hp and 435 ft lbs of torque. It has an Edelbrock intake and three Holly carbs as it was originally equipped. It is now equipped with headers and a 2.5″ exhaust.
-3:54 posi rear-end was rebuilt with all new components by Curry Enterprises and the original Hemi 18 spline 4-speed transmission was fully rebuilt with new gears and shafts.
-The brakes, front end, radiator and fuel tank are all new and rebuilt and the wiring is all new from M&H.
-The paint was done by Mike Face in San Bernardino using Sherwin Williams two stage paint and, again, using a full rotisserie. The correct white interior is all new from Legendary interior. The glass was also fully replaced. The bumpers are the original bumpers with new triple chrome plating.
This is an excellent example to add to your collection. This Road Runner can be shown in competitive events or to race for pinkslips!! This is a two owner, original California car that has a terrific history and wonderful restoration.

Interesting Fact: The Plymouth Road Runner is a mid-size car with a focus on performance built by Plymouth in the United States between 1968 and 1980. By 1968, some of the original muscle cars were moving away from their roots as relatively cheap, fast cars as they gained features and increased in price. Plymouth developed the Road Runner to market a lower-priced, basic trim model to its upscale GTX. Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Bros.-Seven Arts to use the Road Runner name and likeness from their Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons (as well as a "beep, beep" horn, which Plymouth paid $10,000 to develop). The Road Runner was based on the Chrysler B platform (the same as the Belvedere and Satellite), as a back-to-basics mid-size performance car. The standard equipment transmission was a 4-speed manual transmission with floor shifter, and the three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission was optional. Early four-speed 1968 Road Runners featured Inland shifters, which were replaced by Hurst shifters during the course of the model year. Plymouth expected to sell about 20,000 units in 1968; actual sales numbered around 45,000. This placed the Road Runner third in sales among muscle cars, with only the Pontiac GTO and Chevy's SS-396 Chevelle outselling it. Dodge debuted the Road Runner's cousin, the Super Bee, as a mid-1968 offering after seeing Plymouth's success with the Road Runner. Without a doubt, the Plymouth Road Runner is sure to be a staple of automobile history!

UEFA Champions League Final 2011: Paul Scholes On For Michael Carrick
By Graham MacAree May 28, 2011, 4:20pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: UEFA Champions League Final 2011: Paul Scholes On For Michael Carrick
There are about fifteen minutes left in the 2011 UEFA Champions League final at Wembley, and Manchester United, down 3-1, need something approaching a miracle to come back into the match. It's not as though miracles have never happened with United in a Champions League final, however, so don't rule them out yet - although you'd have to imagine that Sir Alex Ferguson would rather be in Pep Guardiola's shoes right now.
Speaking of Ferguson, he makes his second substitution of the night, throwing on Xavi's footballing idol Paul Scholes for Michael Carrick. One wonders if we're going to see the Scholes who can dominate entire midfields with his vision or passing range, the one who gets himself sent off in FA Cup semi-finals, or something in between. I'd guess at the latter, but United need him at his best to re-impose themselves on this match. We're still at 3-1 in the 79th minute.

In my work, I've considered and used the four principles as we attempt to pull together the types of collaboratives whcih will allow for the truly creative thinking necessary in changing health care. While aware of the controversy around Surowiecki's work (likely suggesting he's hit on some sensitive nerves), I concur with many of the comments, specifically those of Mohammed, and have found this a useful construct.
Of course it is only one aspect of moving collaborative efforts forward. I've also considered the adaptive/technical leadership model of Ron Heifetz, Otto Scharmer's Theory U, and have used aspects of Group Genius as written by Keith Sawyer. An additional useful construct in the work has been incorporating the elements of Fair Process outlined by Kim in the Harvard Business Review in 1997.
Just my take on looking at the convergences and synergies of different concepts and philosophies, and drawing from them. Of course, attention to the appropriate and attentive use of the concepts is essential to prevent the unintended consequences of misapplication of these concepts.....much more to learn.


November is coming to an end and the temperatures are dropping… We are approaching the time of the year when we need to get ourselves prepared to get cozy, warm and comfortable. But, I am one of the people who get too comfortable when it comes to clothes during winter. Not being a morning person at all, I usually start the day starring at my closet thinking that sweater, jeans and booties are just the perfect option…and so it goes every day. Since I love layering, I convince myself that nobody will notice my outfits covered in lots of different layers.
However, even though these cozy and comfy sweaters (that I obviously love) may sound dull and boring, with a little bit of effort, you can turn them into a stylish and even elegant piece. The cozy, oversized sweater has been the IT piece during fashion weeks, worn by many showgoers in a variety of different ways. Fashionistas love to mix it with elegant, metallic skirts, some match it with tailored pants and some just threw it on a dress for a comfy chic look.

Q: Boostrap and Angular's ng-include directive So, I have the following situation: in my main index.html page:

...

...

...

and in my menus.js:
 $('#myAffix').affix({
        offset: {
            top: 100
        }
    });

This is supposed to make the unordered list stick after scrolling down 100px. And it does the job perfectly.
But, after moving my aside to another .html file (aside.html), and including it in my index.html like this:

the aside element won't stick anymore. I am also loading the script at the end of the body tag in index.html. How can I fix this issue?

A: EDIT: Working plunker solution: http://plnkr.co/edit/rQJt3h
Yes you're having a load order issue. The solution involves using a directive.
In my opinion, people are being opinionated when telling not to use jQuery with AngularJS. Yes - you should do all DOM manipulation in directives.
In order to use the Bootstrap JavaScript Plugin, you can wrap the affix initialization in a directive:
app.directive('bootstrapAffix', function() {
  return {
    link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
      $(element).affix({ offset: $(element).parent().offset().top });
    }
  }
});

And then attach it to your element:
 ...

Remember to include CSS!

Sunshine and fantastic beaches – the Algarve is a great place for a holiday. But the eastern Algarve, with its vast wetlands which stretch from Faro to close to the border with Spain, is a nature lover's wonderland. The system of barrier islands and peninsulas creates a variety of habitats in which wildlife, especially birds, can thrive.
In the spring, we visit the Alentejo. Inland from the coast, the Alentejo is an entirely different landscape to the Algarve, but just as enchanting. Great plains dotted with cork oaks stretch to the horizon. Protected areas, where hunting is banned and only traditional methods of agriculture are practised, have become one of the most important bird watching centres in Portugal and a perfect environment for the Great Bustard, the heaviest of flying birds.
In the autumn, the Alentejo is replaced by a walk in Portugal's wild west at Cape St Vincent.
Your holiday hotel is on the outskirts of the historic town of Tavira. The busy market town has no less than thirty-seven churches and a lovely arched Roman bridge spanning the River Gilau. The pleasant old centre has arcades, shops and cafes.
DAY ONE: Flight to Faro, transfer to your hotel, forty minutes away, for seven nights half board accommodation.
Walk 1: The Ria Formosa Natural Park. In the morning, transfer to the start of your walk near Faro (27 miles). The Ria Formosa nature area is one of the most important protected areas in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. You walk towards Quinta do Lago, passing salt marshes carved into a labyrinth of tidal flats, salt ponds, warm water lagoons and channels which provide shelter to many bird species, including Flamingos, Spoonbills, Storks and Hoopoes. The walk takes you through the area of Ludo, located in the middle of a complex of saltpans at the edge of the São Lorenço River, passing along salt mountains, eucalyptus and pine tree forests. The walk is level and about 4 miles. You return to the hotel in the late afternoon.
Walk 2: 15-mile transfer east to the wetlands of the Castro Marim Nature Reserve, on the mouth of the river Guadiana, the natural border between this side of Portugal and Spain. From the main road near the old town of Castro Marim you do the first part of the walk next to salt marshes, saltpans and cultivated fields towards the Visitor Centre – a good area for waders, warblers and even the Little Bustard in the dry flats of the marsh. 2.2 miles, ascent/descent 30m. Short transfer to the next walk through the more industrial saltpans of Cerro do Bufo. Along this dirt road you can see waders, gulls, terns and herons on one side and ground birds in the fields on the other side. Expected birds to be seen on the day are Crested Lark, Black-winged Stilt, Flamingo, Spoonbill, Avocet, Osprey, Marsh Harrier, Kentish Plover, Dartford Warbler, Stone Curlew. 3.75 miles, ascent/descent 10m.
Walk 3 (spring departures): An early start for the journey to Castro Verde in the inland province of Alentejo (83 miles). Alentejo is one of the most beautiful and sparsely populated areas of Portugal and holds one of the best-preserved steppes in Europe. The Special Protection Area of Castro Verde is full of birdlife and in the spring the fields are carpeted with wildflowers. You pass the grassland and oak woods in search of the iconic Great and Little Bustards, Black-bellied Sandgrouse, Bee-eaters, the first Rollers of the year, Black-eared Wheatear, Iberian Grey Shrike and raptors such as the Black-winged Kite, Booted and Short-toed Eagle, Red and Black Kite, Griffon and Black Vulture and sometimes even young Golden, Bonelli´s and Spanish Imperial Eagles. 6.8 miles, ascent/descent 200m. Depending on the day of operation, lunch is included in the Castro Verde LPN visitor centre. Time permitting, a stop will be made on the return journey in the old walled town of Mertola on the Guadiana river. Return to the hotel late afternoon.
Walk 3 (autumn departures): An early start for the 82-mile transfer to the start of today's walk from Vila do Bispo to the lighthouse at Cabo São Vincente. It is the most south-westerly point in mainland Europe and was considered by the Romans to be the end of the known world. Our walk affords stunning views of the ocean and takes us across the Vale Santo where, in October, migrating raptors may often be seen including Booted, Short-toed and Bonelli's Eagles, Griffon and Egyptian Vultures, Honey-buzzards and Black Kites, various falcons plus Black Storks. The walk is a little under 8 miles and has a few gentle inclines. Return to the hotel in the late afternoon.
Such a lovely, happy holiday. A great idea to have reserved tables at meal times - really got to know people.
Tour Leader was exceptional and went far and beyond the call of duty to make sure everyone was ok.
We really enjoyed this Walking and Birdwatching holiday in Portugal. June our guide was excellent. She and her partner made sure we saw a fantastic range of birds. Her knowledge and enthusiasm was boundless. She looked after the party generally as well as being a specialist. We saw the beauty of Portugal and the spring flowers as well as the birds. Excellent!
We were delighted that our 2nd PTS holiday was, if anything, better than the 1st.


This is the first part of the Ocarina model. Be sure to use support with this. This part will take about one hour and forty-five minutes to complete on high speed. Please note that the original model is in inches. When you load the model into Cura it reads the model in millimeters. Instead of the model being 4.2 inches long it reads as 4.2 millimeters long. To fix this simply click on the model, select scale in the lower left, ensure that uniform scaling has been selected, it defaults to this. With uniform scaling on change the scale X from 1 to 25.4. This will scale everything up to the proper dimensions.

Do you tell the truth when you talk in your sleep? Does your sleep talk even make sense? And could it just be that you analyse your relationships in a way that's more honest than you do when you're awake?
That's the dangerous premise behind Elephant and Castle, a new, experimental show that springs from two years of recorded sleep talk. From there, it becomes tender, funny, uncomfortable and dark too, as the mutterings never quite take the form of honest coherence. But does the incoherence conceal the truth? Is there something struggling to be said? Something perhaps that is painful and potentially disastrous for this relationship?
Using live music and extracts from those recordings, Elephant and Castle is a Gig Theatre show about how honest it's possible to be and have your relationship survive.


More of that "here's how it happened" style evidence/explanation/chemistry re: panspermia.
Anyway…what someone figured out *this time* is that certain basic compounds, when exposed to various other compounds and/or heat/light combinations, create other compounds than allow for the basic coding of genetic information.
What we have *here* specifically, is an actual compound that works as the pre-cursor, which they have previously been trying to to match to other known compounds (which failed). Now there is a "intermediate molecule" that acts as the stepping stone to the RNA model without the need for separate "sugar" and "base" molecules.
Great stuff, and hopefully in school in 20 years, the first five years of science in school will be a long, empirical and experimental proof on how life came into being (and curiously without the need for a supernatural being, just a series of chemical reactions over *to those students* an impossibly long time).
Researchers are nearing a better understanding of the chemical reactions that created life on the young planet.
Vacuum (imposing extreme dehydration) and solar/galactic cosmic radiation prevent survival of most organisms in space . Only anhydrobiotic organisms, which have evolved adaptations to survive more or less complete desiccation, have a potential to survive space vacuum, and few organisms can stand the unfiltered solar radiation in space. Tardigrades, commonly known as water-bears, are among the most desiccation and radiation-tolerant animals and have been shown to survive extreme levels of ionizing radiation [2, 3, 4]. Here, we show that tardigrades are also able to survive space vacuum without loss in survival, and that some specimens even recovered after combined exposure to space vacuum and solar radiation. These results add the first animal to the exclusive and short list of organisms that have survived such exposure.
Current Biology — Jönsson et al..
Water-bears can be seen here.
I covered a bit of the concept of "Panspermia" in my Spore review. This looks like a possible culprit, as the dang things can surive /scary voice/ the vacuum of spaaace1! /scary voice/.


Tennessee has direct access which permits a patient to be evaluated by a physical therapist without a physician referral. If you would like to be treated without a physician's referral, you will be referred to a physician for further diagnostic testing or evaluation.
If you are under the direct care of a physician, your initial evaluation and clinically signficant findings will be communicated with your physician.
Although it is not a requirement by the state of TN to have a physician's referral for the first few visits of physical therapy care, some insurance companies require a doctor's referral. Please contact your insurance provider to find out if your plan requires a physician referral for treatment.
New York State law requires that you secure a prescription for Physical Therapy within 30 days of treatment from your primary care physician or a specialist (can be from MD, DO, Dentist, Nurse, or Midwife). If you plan to submit to insurance for reimbursement, please call your provider to determine if your insurance company requires a doctor's referral for physical therapy care.

Best way to clean a cab?
What should I use to clean the dirt off of a pinball cab? Don't want to ruin the art.
That's a before and after. Took a while but now it looks new.
That's quite the mic drop. Note to self: get some more mean green.
And it even grows proper legs.
I prefer CP100 and Magic Eraser, lightly of course. Isopropyl 70% plus ME works good also.
Even using this lightly requires much less effort than scrubbing vigorously with other agents. Good rule of thumb…if you start seeing paint on the Magic Eraser, you're scrubbing too hard or spending too much time in one area.
Then a light wipe down with CP100 and a soft rag after.
Here's how the progression turned out on my Superman. Didn't lift any paint. Whole cab was crap-stained ciggy damage yellow.
Looks great! Might try magic eraser on the next one. Mean green worked great for me but it took a long time. It did help my machine grow legs though.
Just like cleaning your arcade units! Soap and water!!

***Updated January 20, 2019**** If you went out for dinner on Sunday night, then maybe you also want to out for dinner on Monday night. Here is a partial list of restaurants to go to for dinner on a Monday night in Lima. The restaurants are listed by how early you can eat dinner (4 pm early bird?).
Siete Sopas, Av. Arequipa 2394, Lince (Open 24 hours; seven days a week): This is a soup restaurant from the chain La Lucha Sangucheria. They have three soups each day. They always have "criolla" and "diet" (chicken soup) and then the day's soup. It's advertised on the wall outside so you can see the soup of the day from outside (or just have it memorized like some of my friends… "today's Tuesday, so not MY soup day.").
Franklin, Av. Alvarez Calderón 198, San Isidro (6:30 a.m. — midnight, 365 days a year): American food. Named after Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Thanks for sharing, one of these days I will get to Peru and this information will come in handy.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child: Book Review
Its been a while since I last did a book review and what better way to make a comeback than tackling a new book in the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child? The book is basically the script of the much anticipated play by the same name which recently premiered in the UK. The play is actually a collaboration of Harry Potter author JK Rowling, playwright Jack Thorne and stage director John Tiffany.
The story takes place 19 years after Lord Voldemort was defeated at the Battle of Hogwarts and starts at the beginning of the schoolyear for Harry's middle child Albus Severus, a child who faces the pressure of being the child of the great Harry Potter. Unlike his brother and sister who were sorted into the Gryffindor House like the rest of the family, Albus is cast as a Slytherin and strikes an unlikely but strong friendship with Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, who is suffering from a stigma of his own. The two join forces to use an illegally acquired Time Turner to change the past, and the fate of the Wizarding World in the belief that they are righting a wrong long ago committed.
Before the play was released, there were a lot of fan theories going about. Who was the cursed child? Was it Harry or Snape among a slew of suspects. Because of the scarcity of information, it was even unclear if the story would take place before or after the events of the Harry Potter saga. There was plenty of expectation for the play and the book itself and while the play was a certified hit, I don't think I was blown away by the book.
LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 07: A general view of The Palace Theatre as previews start today for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" on June 7, 2016 in London, United Kingdom. The play has a sold out run until May 2017 with fans expected to fly to London from all over the world to see it. (Photo by Ben A. Pruchnie/Getty Images)
I loved the idea of seeing what happened to Harry and the gang now that they're adults and responsible for their own children — Harry and Hermione more than most since Hermione is the Minister for Magic and Harry is head of Magical Law Enforcement. I loved catching up with the Weasleys because Ron has always been my favorite and I adore Ginny up to this day. However, I don't think I could say the same for Harry's son the Albus.
Its not that I compared Albus to Harry at any point but his characterization is weak at best. While I understood the reason behind his rebellion, I felt that for the most part, he was being selfish and stubborn and blinded by his issues with his father. His cousin Rose was annoying, period. She shared a lot of Hermione's qualities but not her charm, but this may be unfair because she didn't get too much exposure in the book after all.
The bright spot in this story was Scorpius and Draco and their awkward but strong love for one another and their shared love for Draco's wife Astoria. While Harry was falling apart with worry for his son, it was Draco who stepped up made him see clearly what being a father was all about. He was willing to risk everything for his son and never took his eye off his goal of clearing his son's name and giving him a chance at a normal life as a wizard. Scorpius was adorable — vulnerable, smart and loyal. He was living proof that being in Slytherin is not tantamount to being evil. I loved the kid.
I also loved Ron being Ron. He never changed one iota.
Perhaps, the book didn't connect with me in the same way as its predecessors because it was presented as a script and thus lacked the proper setting to establish the scenes and the moods of the characters and the atmosphere as JK Rowling's books did. But as I read on, I felt there was something missing from the books — the sense of magic and adventure and danger that were part and parcel of the franchise. I felt no sympathy for Albus' mission because there was no clear goal. I felt bad for Scorpius because for all his profession of friendship, Albus saw him more of a sidekick than an actual friend based on how he treated him. Readers should watch out for his shining moment without Albus after second task.
All in all, I thought Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was not a bad read but because the previous bar was set so high, it hardly measures up to even the weakest book in the franchise. The thing that should be working to its advantage actually accomplished the opposite, and that's just a bad break for this story that held so much promise at the beginning.

I've done a hands storytime, and I've done a body storytime, but I thought it was time to focus on feet!
I like to end this one buy counting all the feet we have on the board, then having the kids say goodbye to each animal as I take them off the flannelboard.
Seven, eight lay them straight.
This was a fun storytime, and I really like Busy Toes for all the diversity that the book includes. Whose Feet? also worked extremely well — I wish that one was still in print, because our copy is a little worse for wear. This time, I started a new bounce, but I didn't bring my stuffed animal in to illustrate the bounce. Last time the stuffed bear was there, one of the infants really wanted it and started crying. But I think it works better to show with the animal, so I may try bringing it again next time I change up the bounce or tickle.

'Jeopardy!' champ Julia Collins ends win streak
by Heather Long @byHeatherLong June 3, 2014: 1:28 PM ET
Meet Jeopardy's top female champion
As Julia Collins walked off the "Jeopardy!" stage on Friday, the song "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys filled the set.
"When I say I love everything about being on 'Jeopardy!', this moment was high on the list!" Collins tweeted after her 20th consecutive win on the show.
Collins has the second longest winning streak in the show's history. She trails only Ken Jennings, "Jeopardy's" grand master who won 74 straight non-tournament games a decade ago.
Her total winnings stretched above a whopping $428,100. She lost Monday night, her attempt at at 21st consecutive win.
"I don't regret anything," she told CNNMoney about the game she lost. "I didn't know the final Jeopardy question."
While Collins says literature is her favorite trivia category, the question that ultimately stumped her was about John Irving and "The Cider House Rules." The clue was, "The New England writer who in 1999 became the last person to win an Oscar for adapting his own novel as a screenplay."

CNNMoney was one of the first major media outlets to interview her last month after she won 10 games, putting her an already exclusive club and breaking the record for most wins by a female player (the prior record was seven).
Collins plans to invest a good amount of her prize money. She isn't ready to buy a house yet and is fortunate to have paid off her student loans from Wellesley College and MIT.
"Jeopardy!" doesn't pay winners until about four months after their shows air.
"Having this big windfall isn't something I've ever expected to have," the 31-year-old said.
She is keen to learn more about investing and jokes that she knew the question that came up on the show about managerial accounting. Collins majored in art and history -- two subjects that prepared her well for the show -- and went on to build a career in supply chain management and consulting.
In the midst of a career transition, she says she has received several job offers. Being Jeopardy champ and having host Alex Trebek's touts for employers to hire her certainly helped.

Fans have taken to her humility. She tweets from @JeopardyJulia as her shows are live, often trying to explain to people why she didn't know a seemingly easy answer.
"Alex's tip: 'This was easy if you remember what a bromeliad looks like.' Yeah... 'remember'" she tweeted about a hard Final Jeopardy question on Thursday.
She was too busy doing interviews to tweet during her final show appearance on Monday, but she sent a big thank you to her more than 9,000 Twitter fans.
Her style is very different from that of Arthur Chu, who won 11 games earlier this year and generated a lot of media attention for his controversial "game theory" tactics where he would jump around the game board and bet odd amounts on Double Jeopardy questions.
Chu has congratulated Collins on Twitter many times, calling himself part of "Team Julia."
"The days of men ruling Jeopardy are over," Chu wrote on Friday.
Ken Jennings has also spoken out on Collins' phenomenal run.
"It's been 10 years and nobody has passed 20 [games]. I feel like it can be done, but the odds are against me even doing it," Jennings said last week.
Related: CNN quiz: How well do you know Jeopardy?
It's likely Collins will face off against Chu in Jeopardy's Tournament of Champions, set to take place later this year (she hasn't received the dates yet).
"Playing Julia was in a word, tough. There were times when I was sure I was in first, but Alex called her name," says Lara Brenckle of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, who competed against Collins on May 21. All three contestants were women in that episode.
Collins says her goal was only to get on the show and win one game. She had actually tried out years earlier but didn't get called.
"The only board game I've ever been good at is Trivial Pursuit," she says. "Sure, I'm good for a girl. I am a good player overall. I am good at this game."
Her eighth grade yearbook predicted, "Julia Collins will be the 'Ten Time Jeopardy Champion' winning each tournament twice."

Should have lost my place in Davis Cup team by now: Paes
Sports, Tennis December 2, 2019, 9:52 pm Daily World
New Delhi, Dec 2 : Tennis great Leander Paes said that grooming younger players for the Indian Davis Cup team should be the priority and that ideally, he shouldn't be finding a spot to play now. Paes was recently included in the Indian team that played Pakistan in Kazakhstan after several players made themselves unavailable to travel to Islamabad.
Eventually, the tie was played in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan and India won 3-0. The 46-year-old hinted at a press conference in New Delhi on Monday that he may be considering retirement next year.
"In terms of what's best for the team, I should not be playing past the next year. At 46, I should have been pushed out by the next generation. So to look at it objectively, the health of the team to nurture a younger set of players is what is important," he said.
"When I'm called to play, I will be the best I can be. After next year, I am not so sure about that. I feel we need to nurture the next generation."
Paes said that he was ready to travel to Islamabad had the tie been held there. "I would have definitely gone, I would have enjoyed going there to play for the country and winning.
"I'm not going to play for too much longer. I've had a great 30 year stint in Davis Cup. I've lived my career playing for the country. So when I am called for a tie, whatever the circumstances are, I will be there."
Paes said that coaching is something that he is considering to pick up in the coming years. "There are other things that are motivating me so much. A dream of mine is to coach and train and nurture youngsters to win Olympic medals, to win the Wimbledon championship," he said.

Most of the people today believe that inorganic chemistry is an isolated branch among all the other fields of chemistry. Unknown to many, inorganic chemistry is actually fully integrated with all the other fields of chemistry including physical, analytical and even organic chemistry as well. Yet the only difference in this field of chemistry is that unlike the other branches, it is more concerned and focused on the study and analysis of the behavior and properties of inorganic compounds of minerals, metals, and many other substances as well which is why most people mistook it for a whole new different branch of chemistry. This means that inorganic chemistry plays a very important role in the industrial catalytic process which is necessary for producing substances as well as new materials at a higher rate as compared to natural chemical reactions.
Inorganic chemistry can also be very helpful when it comes to mining and producing microchips. When you also work in such field of chemistry, you can also take part in developing methods in recovering metal wastes in streams, study mined ores and many other inorganic compounds that can be used in soil treatment. Most inorganic chemists work in such industries while there are also those that do research and laboratory work in academic institutions as well as government labs. You can also see a lot of inorganic chemists working on environmental science because such field in chemistry is considered to be a foundation for such an industry. For more about the industries where inorganic chemistry can be very useful, view here for more info.
Inorganic chemistry is also very useful in the fibers and plastics industries and most of the inorganic chemists these days are involved in such industries. In the fiber industry for instance, inorganic chemistry can come handy in studying and producing various types of fibers such as cellulose, polymer, and mineral as well as microfibers. When it comes to engineering ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, synthetic fibers, and carbon fibers, you can really make sure that inorganic chemistry can really come handy. However, when it comes to plastic materials, this field in chemistry can also be useful in producing thermoplastics such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, as well as polytetrafluoroethylene.

O Partido Democrata é um partido político das Ilhas Salomão. Num país no qual os partidos políticos tendem a ser pequenos e transitórios, e obter poucos assentos no Parlamento, o Partido Democrata desempenhou um papel relativamente importante na história recente.

Histórico
Com objetivo de se concentrar na "liderança ética" para o país, o partido foi fundado em outubro de 2005 pelo advogado Gabriel Suri. Seu secretário-geral, John Keniapisia, descreveu isso como uma liderança baseada num relacionamento com Deus: "A liderança política é sobre a construção da nação. A liderança política também é sobre o chamado de Deus para que homens e mulheres se envolvam na construção do Reino, aqui na terra, sabendo que tudo o que fazemos é um chamado de Deus. Por esse motivo, somos responsáveis a Ele. Nosso foco deve estar nas coisas de valor eterno. Em tudo o que fazemos, devemos estar empenhados em fazê-lo para a glória de Deus". O Partido Democrata também promoveria o "governo nativo", assegurando o controle nativo sobre o destino do país e fortalecendo o "processo decisório tradicional".

Nas eleições gerais de abril de 2006, o partido obteve apenas três assentos no Parlamento Nacional de cinquenta membros, com 4,9% dos votos. No entanto, quando o recém-eleito primeiro-ministro Snyder Rini renunciou no mês seguinte, em face de uma moção de censura, os democratas se juntaram ao governo da Grande Coalizão de Manasseh Sogavare para o Governo da Mudança. Em novembro de 2007, os democratas retiraram seu apoio a Sogavare, apoiando um movimento bem-sucedido de confiança para derrubá-lo e se tornaram parte fundamental da nova Coalizão pela Unidade Nacional e Desenvolvimento Rural do novo governo do primeiro-ministro Derek Sikua.

No governo Sikua, o partido foi descrito como "fundamental" para assegurar a introdução de "reformas significativas como as Contas de Reforma do Partido Político, a criação da Comissão de Verdade e Reconciliação, e a criação da equipe de força-tarefa para empreender estudo visando a criação de uma Comissão Independente Contra a Corrupção".

O secretário-geral do partido, John Keniapisia, declarou em 2009 que um de seus principais objetivos era "pressionar o país a desenvolver um relacionamento mais forte com Deus". Ele também apoiou a Lei de Integridade dos Partidos Políticos, em nome da "estabilidade política".

Levando os democratas às eleições gerais de agosto de 2010, o líder do partido, Steve Abana, fez campanha com uma promessa de "mais reconhecimento aos proprietários de terras tribais registrando todas as terras tribais em nome das tribos"; "a implementação de um Plano Nacional de Adaptação para lidar com as Mudanças Climáticas para as comunidades mais vulneráveis; um foco para melhorar o padrão de vida nas vilas, de acordo com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio"; uma promessa "de garantir que 80% da energia no país seja produzida a partir de recursos renováveis"; e reforma eleitoral para introduzir voto preferencial. A plataforma do partido também inclui impulsionar para o desenvolvimento de uma universidade nacional com sede em Malaita", e desenvolver relações econômicas e comerciais com a República Popular da China, sem se afastar do reconhecimento diplomático da República da China (Taiwan).

Nas eleições de 2010, o Partido Democrata tornou-se, de longe, o maior partido do Parlamento de cinquenta membros, ganhando treze assentos. Nenhum outro partido obteve mais de três assentos. O deputado democrata e líder Steve Abana depois tentou ser eleito primeiro-ministro pelos seus companheiros. Ele conseguiu obter os votos de vinte e três deputados, porém foi derrotado por Danny Philip, do Partido Progressista do Povo, que foi eleito com vinte e seis votos. Quatro dias depois, em 31 de agosto, Abana tornou-se oficialmente líder da oposição e nomeou um gabinete paralelo, no qual os democratas ocuparam dez dos dezenove ministros paralelos. Outros dois democratas, no entanto, já tinham desertado para o governo, conseguindo cargos no gabinete do primeiro-ministro Philip; mais tarde, eles se juntaram a Stanley Sofu, que havia sido ministro paralelo de Abana para o Desenvolvimento de Infraestrutura, mas que aceitou o cargo de ministro da Função Pública. Assim, dos treze deputados do Partido Democrata, nove eram ministros paralelos, dois eram ministros e os outros dois eram backbenchers.

O Executivo Nacional do partido durante o período que antecedeu a eleição de 2010 consistia no presidente John Ini Lapli, a vice-presidente Dra. Alice Pollard, o tesoureiro Gideon Zoleveke (Júnior), o secretário-geral John Keniapisia e o líder do partido, Steve Abana.

Em novembro de 2011, o partido renovou sua liderança. Mathew Wale se tornou líder do partido, enquanto a Dra. Alice Pollard passou a ocupar o cargo de presidente do partido. Nesta fase, o partido ainda estava oficialmente no Parlamento, mas havia experimentado "a deserção de quase três quartos" dos seus membros parlamentares (incluindo Steve Abana) para as bancadas do governo.

Composed: 1881-1883
Length: c. 70 minutes
Orchestration: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, 4 Wagner tubas, tuba, timpani, and strings
First Los Angeles Philharmonic performance: March 19, 1936, Otto Klemperer conducting
In the pantheon of 19th-century composers, Anton Bruckner holds a unique if not enigmatic place. Widely known as a composer of symphonies at a time when the music drama and the symphonic poem were all the rage, this heir to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony managed to avoid the infusion of literary concerns that so influenced the Romantics. That Bruckner should recognize the purely absolute music of the symphonic genre to be his ideal, resulting from his encounter with the music of the arch literary composer Richard Wagner, is one of history's supreme ironies. It was a hearing of Wagner's opera Tannhauser in Linz in 1863 at the age of 39 that initiated Bruckner's inward path to self-discovery. Wagner, the master of harmonic innovation, was the key to artistic freedom.
Up to this time in his career, Bruckner had been a perennial student of music theory. After securing a position as organist at the cathedral at Linz at the age of 31 in December of 1855, he set himself on a path of intense theoretical studies (by way a correspondence course with rigorous exams once a year in Vienna) with the then-renowned Austrian theorist Simon Sechter. Under the tuition of Sechter, from 1856-1861, Bruckner became an expert in strict counterpoint and harmony. Upon completion of these studies, at age 37 he felt compelled to acquire full expertise in symphonic form and orchestration, which he did with Otto Kitzler, principal cellist and occasional conductor at the Linz Municipal Theater. (Kitzler was also the conductor of the Tannhäuser performance that was revelatory to Bruckner.) Wagner's example showed that a composer could break the rules of harmonic progression drilled into him by Sechter and still create a work of genius. Bruckner had found a new master from which to learn, at the age of 41.
Bruckner became a great composer nearly overnight. As a consequence of this encounter with Wagner he immediately began to compose his first significant works of instrumental music, his first three symphonies, under the spell of this master. Bruckner's individuality and steadfast assuredness proved effective in his not being overwhelmed by the theatrical values of Wagner's operatic work, but by the sonority of his orchestration and perhaps the musical filling of great swaths of time.
The Symphony No. 7 was Bruckner's memorial monument to Wagner. Much of the Symphony had been completed when he attended a performance of Parsifal at Bayreuth in July 1882. That was to be his last meeting with Wagner, who died in February of 1883.
The first movement opens with a theme first heard in horn and cellos that emerges out of a hushed, sustained dyad accompaniment in the violins. Two more important themes ensue, followed by a development and coda. The Adagio begins with music for four Wagner tubas (the first appearance of these instruments in symphonic music). The movement consists of two contrasting themes, each one given to elaboration. Bruckner was at work on this movement when he heard of Wagner's death in Venice.
The Scherzo, with its rustic atmosphere brings contrasting comic relief to the intensity of the Adagio. The first theme of the finale shares the basic outline of the first theme of the first movement. The link between the two movements is further enhanced by the return of the Symphony's first theme in the fanfares of the closing measures.
Composer Steve Lacoste is Archivist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association.

HOUSTON (Dec.7, 2016) – Members of the Lone Star College Board of Trustees selected Dr. Alton Smith to serve as chairman of the board.
Smith represents District 3 in the Lone Star College System. The vote was made at the December board meeting.
Other officer positions that the board appointed at the Dec. 1 meeting: Dr. Kyle Scott as vice chairman of the board, Ken Lloyd as board secretary, and newly-elected Trustee Myriam Saldivar as assistant secretary.
Saldivar ran unopposed for the District 6 trustee position and becomes the first Latina to serve on the Lone Star College board.
In addition to selecting officers, the three board members who won their Nov. 8 elections were sworn into office including Saldivar, District 6, and incumbents Linda Good, District 7, and David Vogt, District 5, who were both re-elected to another six-year term.
Board officers are selected at the first regular meeting following trustee elections, which are held every two years in November of even-numbered years. Trustees, who serve six-year terms, are elected by voters who live in the LSC in-district for which the single member district election is being held.
LSC trustees serve staggered terms – three of nine trustees come up for election every two years – so that there are always experienced members sitting on the board.

Asia relocation: In the Vanguard
Does the investment manager's decision to shutter its Hong Kong office and relocate to Shanghai matter?
Shanghai skyline
At one level, it can be argued – no, not really. The Pennsylvania-based group has long struggled to break into Hong Kong's retail market. In a statement, Vanguard said it would, after an "extensive review", wind down its local operations – a process that will take up to two years – and exit its exchange-traded fund business in the city.
In a filing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on August 26, Vanguard set out its position using some carefully crafted – and exceedingly bland – words.
The decision, Vanguard said, would let it expand into "international markets that offer the ability to directly reach individual investors... combined with access to the required scale and industry dynamics" that make the firm's low-cost model work.
Or to put it another way, sorry Hong Kong, I'm afraid you just don't cut it any more.
It was careful not to burn any bridges in the embattled former British colony. "[T]his move is not to suggest that we do not see growth potential in Hong Kong – quite the contrary," Peter Zhang, a Shanghai spokesman at Vanguard, tells Euromoney.
The city is "an important global financial centre", its stock exchange a key listing venue for Vanguard's global funds, and the Stock and Bond Connect channels critical to providing access to China's A share and bond markets, he adds.
Fair enough – but this isn't just any old institutional investor walking quite slowly out the door: it's the world's second largest asset manager, with $6.2 trillion in assets under management at the end of January 2020.
For a city that's just been through one of the toughest years in its history, this will feel like a real kick in the teeth
And it isn't any old city it's being abandoned for, but Shanghai, the place long touted as Hong Kong's obvious successor. A city that Beijing controls, isn't unruly, and has the potential to emerge as a genuine financial hub for the 21st century.
It is hard to deny that the move makes good sense.
Back in December, Vanguard signed a wealth management venture with fintech and e-commerce giant Ant Group, which sucked in $300 million in assets within a couple of months of its launch. On August 25, Ant filed for a joint Shanghai-Hong Kong IPO, with the aim of raising $30 billion.
The relocation also underlines the value of being not just closer to but inside the engine room of a country seeking to transform itself from an industrial giant into one driven by innovation and funded by increasingly efficient capital markets.
That means more full operating licences for global investment banks and asset managers. On August 24, China's banking regulator approved a new wealth management joint venture owned by BlackRock, China Construction Bank and Temasek.
Hong Kong is not the only city in Asia to be abandoned by the investment manager.
Vanguard closed its Singapore office two years ago, and the current review will also see it shutter its sales outlet in Tokyo.
Hong Kong's fund management association tried to rationalize it all, arguing that this is just one firm walking away, not a sign of an impending exodus.
But that is cold comfort. For a city that's just been through one of the toughest years in its history, this will feel like a real kick in the teeth.

Pilgrims celebrate Christmas under Church of the Nativity's new roof
Bethlehem's ancient Church of the Nativity is undergoing a long overdue renovation, and its wooden roof and mosaics have been restored in time for Christmas.

BETHLEHEM, West Bank — Bethlehem's Al-Mahd Church, better known as the Church of the Nativity, is greeting Christmas with a fresh face this year following a major rehabilitation of its roof and ancient mosaics.
The church, on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2012, has suffered earthquakes, storms and even political sieges ever since its construction in A.D. 330. The renovation of the church has been on the agenda ever since the late 2000s, with both the Palestinian Authority and UNESCO expressing a commitment to raise funds for much-needed work. Several parallel rehabilitation efforts started in 2013, and today, about 70% of its renovation work has been completed, Hanna Issa, the secretary-general of the Islamic-Christian Commission in Support of Jerusalem and Holy Sites, told Al-Monitor.
Known as the world's oldest church in daily use, Al-Mahd's original basilica was built in the fourth century by Roman Emperor Constantine I above a cave where Virgin Mary is said to have given birth to Jesus. In the early medieval period, other ecclesiastical buildings were incorporated into the original site. Consequently, today the Church of the Nativity is overseen by members of the Greek Orthodox Church, the Custody of the Holy Land and the Armenian Church. It's considered one of the most important Christian churches in the world after the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
The chapel's floor and interior walls are decorated with marble and beautiful mosaics. Behind the altar, a silver star bears the Latin inscription, "Jesus was born here of the Virgin Mary."
Issa pointed out that the church has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. He told Al-Monitor, "Al-Mahd Church was destroyed during the revolution of the Samaritans against the Byzantines in 528, then rebuilt in 535, but the last large-scale restoration and rehabilitation was in 650."
By the 21st century, both the mosaics and woodwork had been badly damaged. When UNESCO's experts placed the site on the World Heritage List, they noted that the structure of the main church was highly vulnerable due to a lack of maintenance and repair. The interior walls and the mosaic floor are cracked and its ancient wood carvings have been damaged by humidity. A technical plan to restore the roof was developed by an advisory committee formed by the Palestinian president in cooperation with the three churches in charge of the holy site.
Muslims in the area made donations for the church's restoration and rehabilitation.
Issa pointed out that Arab, Islamic and European countries as well as the Palestinian Authority and Palestinian banks contributed funds. So did Palestinian businessmen at home and abroad, the Paltel group and the Turkish International Cooperation and Development Agency.
The cooperation "reflects the peaceful religious coexistence between Muslims and Christians in Palestine and the world, along with the common fate they both share," he said.
"Italian companies are working on the restoration of the church. In August 2013, the Italian Piacentini Costruzioni company signed a contract with the presidential committee tasked with the renovation of the Church of the Nativity to fully restore it. So far, more than 70% of the rehabilitation work has been completed," Issa told Al-Monitor.
Issa went on, "The Italian company restored the church's wooden roof, which had been damaged. It also restored most mosaic murals on the walls and floor of the church. The main wooden door and the four iron gates inside the church were also restored. Work is now ongoing to restore the 50 marble columns."
He added, "So far, restoration works have cost more than $12 million. More donations are needed to complete the rehabilitation of the church, which has been severely damaged over the years. Most recently, the church was directly affected by gunshots during the Israeli invasion of the West Bank in 2002."
Al-Mahd was besieged for 40 days during the Israeli invasion of the West Bank as part of the military operation called Defensive Shield. The operation resulted in the death of eight Palestinian fighters and the deportation of dozens of them to the Gaza Strip and some European countries.
Issa urged joint efforts to preserve the position of the church as a beacon for pilgrims, saying, "[We must] work together to make it the center of attention of international and regional institutions and organizations. It is one of the three oldest and most important churches in Palestine, along with the Resurrection Church that witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and the Church of the Annunciation, where the Virgin Mary was told she was carrying Jesus Christ."
He also noted that Christmas is an important occasion in Bethlehem. "Christians and Muslims around the world to go to Bethlehem city, especially with Christmas season approaching and the lighting of the Christmas tree, considered one of the most beautiful in the world, and to visit the touristic sites of the city and to pray in its religious sites for peace and love to prevail in the holy lands," he said, adding that some 45,000 Christians live in West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.
The dean of Al-Azhar Institute in Palestine, Imad Hamato, told Al-Monitor, "Islam calls for Muslims to preserve places of worship, whether Christian or Muslim. This aims to create mutual respect and to strengthen national unity, tolerance and love by showing the depth of the relationship between [the different faiths]." He added that the donations from the Muslims for the church's rehabilitation was a good example of this goodwill.
Hamato went on, "The church embraced Muslims during the recent Israeli war on the Gaza Strip in the summer of 2014. It opened its doors to them and they took refuge while escaping the Israeli bombardment of the Shajaiya neighborhood in the east of Gaza City after their homes and properties were destroyed. The church also provided services to them without any discrimination based on religion."
