Back in 1998, Salman Khan gave the music composer duo of Sajid-Wajid a chance to work in Bollywood, and ever since, they have been quite the hit. The duo first made music for Bollywood for Salman’s film Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya. Wajid Khan and Salman Khan have always been close due to their history, and life sure has come to a full circle for the former.
Wajid breathed his last on Sunday due to renal ailment and COVID 19. The entire entertainment industry has come together to mourn the loss of the legendary music composer. Salman and Wajid have always been close and so, Salman took to social media to send out his prayers. He wrote, ‘Wajid Vil always love, respect, remember n miss u as a person n ur talent, Love u n may your beautiful soul rest in peace …’
Check out Salman Khan’s tweet here:
Wajid Vil always love, respect, remember n miss u as a person n ur talent, Love u n may your beautiful soul rest in peace …
— Salman Khan (@BeingSalmanKhan) June 1, 2020
As we pay our respects to the composer, here’s remembering some of the hit songs from Salman Khan and Wajid Khan:
Surili Akhiyon Wale from Veer
One of the few soulful tracks from the movie, Surili Akhiyon Wale is a soothing song and while the movie didn’t do well, the song sure did.
Mashallah from Ek Tha Tiger
Another hit from the duo, the songs from the film were just as big as the movie itself. No wonder Salman Khan and Wajid Khan have collaborated on multiple occasions!
Munna Badnaam Hua from Dabangg 3
A spin to the original song from the movie Dabangg, this one did manage to grab quite the amount of attention, and rightly so. Due credits to the music composer duo as well as Khan for pulling it off just fine.
Dupatta Tera Nau Rang Da from Partner
Partner is another film that has a rather impressive list of songs to its credit and we often hum these songs, till date. There are multiple tracks from the film that one cannot miss out on.
Jalwa from Wanted
If we come to think of it, one can go on and on about Salman Khan and Wajid Khan creating the finest of music together. While most of the songs happen to be peppy numbers, we still think these manage to have us moving to the beats.
Hud Hud from Dabangg
This has to be one of the best and most popular songs that saw Salman Khan and Wajid Khan, Sajid, come together. The entire playlist of Dabangg, for that matter, must receive its due credit.
Soni De Nakhre from Partner
Another foot-tapping number from Partner, we all remember the phase where this became the must dance song for all sangeet ceremonies. Even today, the song continues to be a classic that we always love to dance to.
Baki Sab First Class Hai from Jai Ho
Even when things aren’t very first classy, this song makes it feel like while you dance to it and raise your energy levels to the beats of the music.
Meanwhile, good or bad as it sounds, Salman Khan and Wajid Khan collaborated last for the Eid Song Bhai Bhai. While it sure received a lot of love, the song just became all the more special for everyone who has heard it as yet.

Depok Mayor Nur Mahmudi Ismail is never far from controversial policies. He has banned karaoke bars and obliged people to eat using their right hands.
The twice-elected mayor last month launched another campaign, much to the dismay of food vendors at Depok City Hall, called “One Day No Rice.”
“I have several reasons to back this campaign. Apart from the health aspects, this is also about food security,” he said.
Since Feb. 14, food vendors at the Depok administration food court have been banned from serving rice on Tuesdays in a bid to support the campaign.
Canteens and restaurants in the area complain that their profits are now down by half on Tuesdays.
During his tenure, Nur Mahmudi has issued infamous policies including obliging civil servants to design equipment to compost organic refuse, prohibiting the activities of the minority Ahmadiyah sect in Depok and as forbidding the sale of alcoholic drinks in hotels, cafes and karaoke bars.
University of Indonesia political analyst Ibramsyah said Nur Mahmudi’s campaigns infringed on individual privacy.
“It is up to individuals which hand they use and if they want to eat rice,” Ibramsyah said. “They are capable of making those decisions themselves.”
But when the president started to call for better food diversification and security, Nur Mahmudi said he felt he had to take it one step further.
“I stopped eating rice seven months ago,” he said. “Eighty percent of the average Indonesian diet is carbohydrates, of which more than 70 percent comes from rice.”
He cited 1954 figures from the Agriculture Ministry showing that at the time, only 53 percent of Indonesians depended on rice. By 2010, that number had risen to as much as 95 percent.
“The perception had become that if you want to eat, then you have to eat rice. Cassava, sago and tubers are just snacks,” he said.
Nur Mahmudi said his administration was working with universities to find and promote alternatives to rice.
“Each Indonesian on average consumes 139 kilograms of rice a year,” Nur Mahmudi said. “We can create new opportunities if we are willing to spend one day not eating rice.”
In Japan, the per capita consumption of rice is 60 kilograms per year, while in Malaysia it’s 63 kilograms and in China it’s 100 kilograms. Experts say the ideal amount is 60 kilograms.
Nur Mahmudi predicted that the Depok program could save 4.6 million tons of rice per year.
“There is no need to import rice when we can easily substitute other products,” he said.
A 2006 World Food Program survey on 341 districts and cities in 30 provinces in Indonesia found that people in half of the areas consumed fewer than 1,700 calories a day, well below the international standard of 2,100 for an average adult.
In addition, up to 70 percent of the country’s women and children are anemic, according to a 2004 Unicef study.
The problem is not so much a lack of food, but a lack of variety. Poor people tend to substitute protein-rich foods such as meat and eggs with rice.
Last year, Oxfam also issued a warning to the country for its high dependency on rice, given the effects of climate change and the increasing price of rice.
Haryono, the head of research at the Agriculture Ministry, supports the mayor’s campaign.
“Indonesia has a large biodiversity, including in food sources. There are health benefits to consuming many types of food,” he said.
He added that the “One Day No Rice” campaign should not be difficult to roll out because non-rice carbohydrate sources were widely available.
“I believe educating people on the alternatives is important and that the campaign should be done gradually and become a national program,” he said.
Haryono said the ministry was conducting a food diversification program based on local natural resources.
“There are local species that are cheaper to produce with high nutritional content such as the moringa leaf,” he said.
Haryono believes households should also take part in food security programs by cultivating their own food, especially those native to their area.
Titi Sekar Indah, a nutritionist at Jakarta’s Gatot Subroto Army Hospital, said rice was one of the best sources of carbohydrates.
“Cassava and tubers can cause indigestion and some people are also allergic to whey. Rice is the best because it is easily digested and absorbed by the body,” she said.
However, Titi said, rice in the market today is highly processed and polished.
“The husks are completely stripped away and the color is exceptionally white. The best rice is brown rice,” she added. “But it is wrong to think that you can never be full if you don’t eat rice.”
Nutritionist Yulia Rima, on the other hand, believes that aside from empowering food diversification, the campaign should also introduce the concept of balanced consumption.
“Practiced on a daily basis, people will not only consume a variety of nutrients, but also in balanced amounts,” she said.
Nur Mahmudi himself said the “One Day No Rice” campaign was not meant to punish people, but to educate them.
“I want people to look for creative alternatives to rice and to prove to themselves that it is OK to skip rice,” he said. “People also have to see that it benefits themselves as well as the country.”
Like his “eat and drink with your right hand” campaign, Nur Mahmudi says his latest campaign is part of his drive to “develop character.”

|At this hour, I call out to you Jehovah Rophe|
the Lord our healer — Exodus 15:26
Turn outwards. Call to mind the people you have seen and heard today. Call to mind those you expect to encounter in the next few hours. Outwards is the direction of the other, the neighbour, the one we are called to love as ourselves.
O Master, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console
[from a Franciscan Prayer]
Ponder the idea of healing in all its forms. Write a list of five people that you see need healing today. Choose one of the five and spend time picturing them made whole and happy and healthy.
The Book of Common Prayer
Our Lord Jesus Christ said: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first commandment.
And the second is like, namely this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.
O! My soul reaches beyond herself this day, offering friendship’s hand for Jesus sake
O! My soul reaches beyond herself this day, offering friendship’s hand
O! My soul reaches beyond herself this day, offering friendship
O! My soul reaches beyond herself this day, offering
O! My soul reaches beyond herself this day

The 19-year-old Olympics newbie has been quietly making a name for herself over the last year. She earned a bronze medal in her grand prix debut at 2017 Bridgestone Skate America competition, and was the only female U.S. competitor to do so. Her victories are especially impressive considering that she has suffered two stress fractures in her back over the last two years.
Nagasu's journey to the Olympics has been anything but simple. In 2014, she won the bronze medal but was not selected for the Olympic team, as the committee decided to send Ashley Wagner instead. But Nagasu says it's only made her current victory that much sweeter.


As a fan, nothing is better than watching a team play a full game, where every minute and every play could change the final results. Every point matters. And yet, on the flipside, nothing is more painful than watching a team battle and look like it could come out on top only to watch the victory slip away in the final seconds of the game.
Fans of the Idaho women’s basketball team are not strangers to this feeling. Vandal fans have seen the team win big and pull out a last second victory, but they have also seen Idaho fall in the final minutes of a game.
The loss to Montana State in the Cowan Spectrum was another disappointing loss. Both teams went back and forth for the entire 40 minutes, many of which looked like Idaho would pull ahead and find a win against the Bobcats after a 64-80 loss earlier in the month. Although the opponents led for the majority of the game, Idaho was consistently within a few points.
But the final minute of the game didn’t go in Idaho’s favor.
The Idaho defense was unable to hold Montana State to keep the victory within reach. A couple missed shots from the Idaho offense and a few made shots allowed by the defense sealed the win for the Bobcats.
It was a discouraging end to an exciting game, for both fans and the team.
Yet this isn’t the first time a game has ended this way for the Vandals. While it’s true basketball teams have their share of wins and losses regarding close games, the Vandals currently seem to have more losses than wins.
In this case, a “close game” is defined as a game with a score gap anywhere from 1-5 points. By this standard, Idaho women have won three of seven “close games”.
The Vandals pulled out a close win over opponents Seattle University, California State Fullerton and Wyoming earlier in the season.
However, that means there are five other close games that the team has dropped.
It could be pointed out that the strength of the opponent is key in assessing the strength of the win or loss. Idaho faced off against the University of Oregon in Eugene, a team that is one of the strongest in the Pac12, and nearly pulled the upset in the final seconds of the game. While a loss is still a loss, it is a loss that showed the strength and resilience of the team.
But, Idaho was barely able to take the win over California State Fullerton, who at the time had no wins.
Watching the defending Big Sky champs play, it is clear they are a strong team — it has players who consistently top the leaderboard. But as the season goes on it, also begins to look like the Vandals have a tendency to struggle closing tough games.
I have seen teams with records that didn’t make them look nearly as strong as they were and then went on to watch them snag a big win with a clutch shot in the final seconds. Any Portland Trailblazer fan knows the feeling.
A team with the strength and depth that Idaho has undoubtedly has the potential to go far in the conference. I’ve seen it before.
Luckily for the Vandals, and their fans, it is still early and we will all be there cheering until the final seconds when the clutch shot results in one of the big wins.

The Government will insist on tax reductions “tooth and nail”, the Minister of State at the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister stated at a press conference.
Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson has said that unfounded news reports were released regarding the relocation of the Prime Minister’s Office to the Castle of Buda.
“2017 will be about tax cuts, pay rises and increased support for families, while we must also apply all possible instruments to increase Hungary’s and Europe’s security”, Parliamentary State Secretary Csaba Dömötör from the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister emphasised at his press conference on the last day of the year.
“Hungary is gaining strength thanks to the performance of the Hungarian people, which in turn enables a reduction in taxes and an increase in wages without the need to increase government debt”, Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson said at a press conference on Saturday.
Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson has told the Hungarian newspaper Magyar Idők that Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is prepared to veto the mandatory relocation quota at the EU summit this week.
Parliamentary State Secretary Csaba Dömötör has told Hungarian news agency MTI that the EU’s Home Affairs Council had made it clear again that the European Commission would not withdraw its decisions made on mandatory relocation. This means that a prolonged debate is to be expected, Mr. Dömötör said.
As regards the fact that the bill for constitutional amendment – which would have banned the relocation of non-Hungarian people to Hungary without the consent of the National Assembly – did not get the necessary two thirds of the votes, Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson has told Hungarian television channel M1 that another form of legal solution should be sought and those tools should be taken into account that safeguard security in Hungary.
“The Hungarian Government would like to have the issue of the mandatory relocation quota permanently removed from the agenda at the next EU summit”, Minister of State for Government Communication Bence Tuzson said on Hungarian M1 television’s Friday evening current affairs programme.
“The sixtieth anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence sends the message that the Hungarians are a people of freedom, who stand up for justice even against the tide” Parliamentary State Secretary Csaba Dömötör from the Cabinet Office of the Prime Minister said.

text: Marvel came out swinging with a teaser for Captain America: The First Avenger that used black and white footage from World War II floating behind reds, whites and blues. It’s the kind of footage that would trick my father into believing he was getting a brand new WWII special on the history channel, but those color combos of course belonged to a trademarked shield. A black silhouette holding said shield drove the Comic-Con crowd here crazy, and with a quick flash, everyone got to see a brief look at a hardened, dark blue costume that looks strong. According to the filmmakers, it was for the costume test, and when they designed it they were attempting to make it authentically something from the time period that could also work for the character as a superhero. Then, fans at Comic-Con got to see a scene from the film that’s barely in production, and it might silence some doubts by speaking to it in German.

The Latin Grammy 2022 recognized the Leading Ladies of Entertainment at a special event held Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022. Please read the original post below to see what this award entails. All photos posted here are Courtesy of The Latin Recording Academy® .
Janina Rosado is a nine-time Latin GRAMMY-winning pianist, arranger and musical director from the Dominican Republic. She launched her career playing the piano for the legendary Johnny Ventura and then joined Juan Luis Guerra’s La 440, where she has served as his musical director, pianist, co-producer and arranger for more than 25 years.
Rosado was announced today as one of The Latin Recording Academy® 2022 Leading Ladies of Entertainment honorees, along with singer-songwriter and six-time Latin GRAMMY winner – Kany Garcia; Global Head of Latin Music for Amazon Music – Rocio Guerrero; and CEO of artist management company RLM – Rosa Lagarrigue.
The Leading Ladies of Entertainment is an initiative created six years ago to honor and recognize professional and socially-conscious women within the arts and Latin entertainment fields who have made significant contributions and inspired the next generation of female leaders. After two years of virtual celebrations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event returns live, sponsored by City National Bank with a private presentation and luncheon in Las Vegas on Tuesday, November 15, as part of the marquee events for Latin GRAMMY® Week.

I ate a few pieces of the vegetable tray with some hummus but threw them all in a pot today with an onion (chopped) and a couple of garlic cloves. I debated chopping them up first but did it the lazy way. Added a can of tomatoes and a rind from the Parmegiano-Reggiano. Salt, pepper and a bottle of water. (The portable dishwasher was hooked up to the faucet) After it simmered awhile, the carrots cooked, I got out the immersion blender and then added canellini beans. A tasty soup on a snowy day.

Publication: May 5, 2015, by Penguin Canada
Genre: Young Adult Fiction, Historical, Romance
London, 1872. Seventeen-year-old heiress Leonora Somerville is preparing to be presented to society -- again. She's strikingly beautiful and going to be very rich, but Leo has a problem money can't solve. A curious speech disorder causes her to stutter but also allows her to imitate other people's voices flawlessly. Servants and ladies alike call her "Mad Miss Mimic" behind her back...and watch as Leo unintentionally scares off one potential husband after another. London in 1872 is also a city gripped by opium fever. Leo's brother-in-law Dr. Dewhurst and his new business partner Francis Thornfax are frontrunners in the race to patent an injectable formula of the drug. Friendly, forthright, and as a bonus devastatingly handsome, Thornfax seems immune to the gossip about Leo's "madness." But their courtship is endangered from the start. The mysterious Black Glove opium gang is setting off explosions across the city. The street urchins Dr. Dewhurst treats are dying of overdose. And then there is Tom Rampling, the working-class boy Leo can't seem to get off her mind.
As the violence closes in around her Leo must find the links between the Black Glove's attacks, Tom's criminal past, the doctor's dangerous cure, and Thornfax's political ambitions. But first she must find her voice.
Mad Miss Mimic sounds awfully similar to another historical romance I devoured and adored last year, A Mad Wicked Folly, and I was actually hoping for this one's outcome to be quite similar, too! In the end, I saw it as a definite historical book that dealt with politics in Victorian England, finding your love interest and finding yourself, especially from Leo's perspective, who stuttered when she spoke.
Cheers to Canadian authors! As Canada Day is tomorrow, I feel like this was a perfect debut to celebrate our authors, who are always there to standby their literature through our country's name. Mad Miss Mimic is a debut novel that I only had just discovered, and I'm very proud to say that I've enjoyed yet another historical novel, as that's usually the genre that I find it difficult to enjoy... or even find a good book out of the bunch that stands before me. I don't have much to say but positive things, so let's actually get started!
"How had he come to Hastings? And where did he go at the end of each day when his work at surgery was done? Tom was right: I knew nothing. And I found that, yes, I was curious—very curious indeed."
What I mentioned above is basically what this novel holds. It has a great premise that must've taken so much time to organize and make perfect. Henstra even noted in her Author's Note that she went to numerous libraries around Toronto to learn more about stuttering and all of the facts which came into Leo's character. The fact that many people in her life made fun of her for the way she spoke was awful, and this is a big part of the book that many people don't even realize. She's just an ordinary girl who's rich and has a disability which doesn't even affect her at all, basically. What is there to say? She's such an intelligent young woman who proved readers and her people wrong of her capability. Confident characters who have power and are able to do extraordinary things are actually the rulers.
The beginning scenes especially are what captivated me: Leo's sister did make some kind of sisterly relationship minimize and go to a minimum. Usually—usually, YA literature is filled with relationships that help readers relate, and are barely formed out of jealousy and hunger for power as well as bloodlust, but what Leo had with her servants or her sister is just plain sad. I can't even admit that I'm able to empathize at all, since times back then are all about wealth and what we have over everyone. These scenes, especially where Leo met her love interest (I won't spoil the name, I promise!) are what developed the whole story wonderfully.
|I love the font!|
|She never gave up.|
Romance and just about all of the awesome stuff that we try to discover in YA historical fiction is all packed in this book. Whether you're looking for romance, mystery or great characters, it has it all and I'm so excited to see Henstra's other work, because everyone wants it in their lives. Brace yourself, this is a fast paced read that's super rad, and will only take you a matter of time to go through. By the way, it's nothing like a pure Victorian magical read either, it's just its own concept and premise packed for readers in an enjoyable matter. Enjoy, my friends, you won't let this one go!

Please note that Mommsen uses the AUC chronology (Ab Urbe Condita), i.e. from the founding of the City of Rome. You can use this reference table to have the B.C. dates
From: The History of Rome, by Theodor Mommsen
Translated with the sanction of the author by William Purdie Dickson
The Later Patricianism
The struggle between the Roman clans and commons was thus substantially at an end. While the nobility still preserved out of its comprehensive privileges the -de facto- possession of one of the consulships and one of the censorships, it was excluded by law from the tribunate, the plebeian aedileship, the second consulship and censorship, and from participation in the votes of the plebs which were legally equivalent to votes of the whole body of burgesses.
As a righteous retribution for its perverse and stubborn resistance, the patriciate had seen its former privileges converted into so many disabilities. The Roman clan-nobility, however, by no means disappeared because it had become an empty name. The less the significance and power of the nobility, the more purely and exclusively the patrician spirit developed itself. The haughtiness of the "Ramnians" survived the last of their class-privileges for centuries; after they had steadfastly striven "to rescue the consulate from the plebeian filth" and had at length become reluctantly convinced of the impossibility of such an achievement, they continued at least rudely and spitefully to display their aristocratic spirit.
To understand rightly the history of Rome in the fifth and sixth centuries, we must never overlook this sulking patricianism; it could indeed do little more than irritate itself and others, but this it did to the best of its ability. Some years after the passing of the Ogulnian law (458) a characteristic instance of this sort occurred.

Deputy gov named Taiwan’s next central bank chief
TAIPEI — Marking the Taiwanese central bank’s first change at the top in nearly 20 years, a cabinet spokesman said Thursday that Deputy Gov. Yang Chin-long will succeed Perng Fai-nan as governor later this month.
The 79-year-old Perng had expressed interest in retirement because of his age. Yang, 64, will begin his five-year term as governor Feb. 24.
Perng started as governor in 1998 under the Kuomintang government of then-President Lee Teng-hui. He earned the top grade of A on Global Finance magazine’s Central Banker Report Card a total of 14 times.
Taiwan has kept interest rates low since July 2016. As governor, Yang will be faced with timing an exit from this easy-money policy as information technology exports fuel a steady economic recovery.
Financial institutions here see Yang taking the same conservative path as Perng.

The Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee voted to advance HB 1381 today, which YSRP hopes will usher in a more humane era of support and care for youth involved in the criminal legal system.
In June of 2015, the parent of one of the youth we work with, Kameelah, brought to our attention that the City of Philadelphia was taking her to court to pay for the time her son spent in a private juvenile placement (a secure facility in the juvenile justice system, often analogous to a prison). Shocked by this practice, YSRP partnered with the Justice Lab at the Sheller Center for Social Justice at Temple Law to learn more about it so we could change it. Since early 2016, YSRP and Sela Cowger, Kelsey Grimes, Wes Stevenson, and Professor Colleen Shanahan from the Justice Lab have been working to stop this harmful practice of collecting costs from parents of children who have been incarcerated. Today, the Philadelphia Inquirer published Philly Locks Up Kids for Truancy, Fighting – Then Goes After Parents for Child Support about this practice and our work to end it. We are pleased to report that our investigation and advocacy has led to active engagement with the City of Philadelphia, and that the Philadelphia Department of Human Services (DHS) has publicly committed to ending the practice as a direct result. We hope to report soon that the City has in fact ended this harmful practice, and that this change has spread across Pennsylvania.
As the Inquirer story reports, the Justice Lab team’s investigation uncovered how this practice works in Philadelphia. After a child is sent home from a private juvenile placement, DHS initiates a support order against his or her parents to recover the cost of confinement for that child. This practice is permitted, but not required, by Pennsylvania law. For years, Philadelphia has paid a private attorney a generous, incentive-based salary to seek these orders.
The City issues these support orders against working parents, however these parents are often struggling to make ends meet. Kameelah, for example, makes a salary that falls below the poverty line, needs food stamps and government-assisted housing to support her family of four, and still the City garnishes her wages and tax returns for the cost of her child’s incarceration. These support orders force families to choose between paying for basic necessities, like food and utility bills, and paying for the cost of their child’s incarceration. This strains family relationships at a time when families should be rebuilding, not depleting their limited resources. Further, the Justice Lab research shows the practice does not generate enough funding for the City to offset these harms to families.
We are so grateful to Kameelah for having the courage to speak up about a practice that has affected thousands of Philadelphia families, and to the Justice Lab students for their commitment to uncovering and ending this practice. We are encouraged by the commitment of Philadelphia DHS to end this practice, and are hopeful that Pennsylvania may stop the collection of children’s incarceration costs from parents statewide.

CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA.
O'connor, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Burger, C. J., and Powell, Rehnquist, and Stevens, JJ., joined. White, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which Brennan, Marshall, and Blackmun, JJ., joined, post, p. 47.
JUSTICE O'CONNOR delivered the opinion of the Court.
We granted certiorari to decide whether the Double Jeopardy Clause*fn1 bars retrial after a state appellate court sets aside a conviction on the ground that the verdict was against "the weight of the evidence." After examining the policies supporting the Double Jeopardy Clause, we hold that a reversal based on the weight, rather than the sufficiency, of the evidence permits the State to initiate a new prosecution.
In 1974, Florida indicted petitioner Delbert Tibbs for the first-degree murder of Terry Milroy, the felony murder of Milroy, and the rape of Cynthia Nadeau. Nadeau, the State's chief trial witness, testified that she and Milroy were hitchhiking from St. Petersburg to Marathon, Fla., on February 3, 1974. A man in a green truck picked them up near Fort Myers and, after driving a short way, turned off the highway into a field. He asked Milroy to help him siphon gas from some farm machinery, and Milroy agreed. When Nadeau stepped out of the truck a few minutes later, she discovered the driver holding a gun on Milroy. The driver told Milroy that he wished to have sex with Nadeau, and ordered her to strip. After forcing Nadeau to engage in sodomy, the driver agreed that Milroy could leave. As Milroy started to walk away, however, the assailant shot him in the shoulder. When Milroy fell to the ground, pleading for his life, the gunman walked over and taunted, "Does it hurt, boy? You in
pain? Does it hurt, boy?" Tr. 508. Then, with a shot to the head, he killed Milroy.
This deed finished, the killer raped Nadeau. Fearing for her life, she suggested that they should leave together and that she "would be his old lady." Id., at 510. The killer seemed to agree and they returned to the highway in the truck. After driving a short distance, he stopped the truck and ordered Nadeau to walk directly in front of it. As soon as her feet hit the ground, however, she ran in the opposite direction. The killer fled with the truck, frightened perhaps by an approaching car. When Nadeau reached a nearby house, the occupants let her in and called the police.
That night, Nadeau gave the police a detailed description of the assailant and his truck. Several days later a patrolman stopped. Tibbs, who was hitchhiking near Ocala, Fla., because his appearance matched Nadeau's description. The Ocala Police Department photographed Tibbs and relayed the pictures to the Fort Myers police. When Nadeau examined these photos, she identified Tibbs as the assailant.*fn2 Nadeau subsequently picked Tibbs out of a lineup and positively identified him at trial as the man who murdered Milroy and raped her.*fn3
Tibbs' attorney attempted to show that Nadeau was an unreliable witness. She admitted during cross-examination that she had tried "just about all" types of drugs and that she had smoked marihuana shortly before the crimes occurred. Id., at 526, 545-546. She also evidenced some confusion about the time of day that the assailant had offered her and Milroy a ride. Finally, counsel suggested through questions and closing argument that Nadeau's former boyfriend had killed Milroy and that Nadeau was lying to protect her boyfriend. Nadeau flatly denied these suggestions.*fn4
In addition to these attempts to discredit Nadeau, Tibbs testified in his own defense. He explained that he was college educated, that he had published a story and a few poems, and that he was hitchhiking through Florida to learn more about how people live. He claimed that he was in Daytona Beach, across the State from Fort Myers, from the evening of February 1, 1974, through the morning of February 6. He also testified that he did not own a green truck, and
that he had not driven any vehicle while in Florida. Finally, he denied committing any of the crimes charged against him.
Two Salvation Army officers partially corroborated Tibbs' story. These officers produced a card signed by Tibbs, indicating that he had slept at the Daytona Beach Salvation Army Transit Lodge on the evening of February 1, 1974. Neither witness, however, had seen Tibbs after the morning of February 2. Tibbs' other witnesses testified to his good reputation as a law-abiding citizen and to his good reputation for veracity.
On rebuttal, the State produced a card, similar to the one introduced by Tibbs, showing that Tibbs had spent the night of February 4 at the Orlando Salvation Army Transit Lodge. This evidence contradicted Tibbs' claim that he had remained in Daytona Beach until February 6, as well as his sworn statements that he had been in Orlando only once, during the early part of January 1974, and that he had not stayed in any Salvation Army lodge after February 1. After the State presented this rebuttal evidence, Tibbs took the stand to deny both that he had been in Orlando on February 4 and that the signature on the Orlando Salvation Army card was his.
The jury convicted Tibbs of first-degree murder and rape. Pursuant to the jury's recommendation, the judge sentenced Tibbs to death. On appeal, the Florida Supreme Court reversed. Tibbs v. State, 337 So. 2d 788 (1976) (Tibbs I). A plurality of three justices, while acknowledging that "the resolution of factual issues in a criminal trial is peculiarly within the province of a jury," id., at 791, identified six weaknesses in the State's case.*fn5 First, except for Nadeau's testimony, the State introduced no evidence placing Tibbs in or near Fort Myers on the day of the crimes. Second, although
Nadeau gave a detailed description of the assailant's truck, police never found the vehicle. Third, police discovered neither a gun nor car keys in Tibbs' possession. Fourth, Tibbs cooperated fully with the police when he was stopped and arrested. Fifth, the State introduced no evidence casting doubt on Tibbs' veracity.*fn6 Tibbs, on the other hand, produced witnesses who attested to his good reputation. Finally, several factors undermined Nadeau's believability. Although she asserted at trial that the crimes occurred during daylight, other evidence suggested that the events occurred after nightfall when reliable identification would have been more difficult. Nadeau, furthermore, had smoked marihuana shortly before the crimes and had identified Tibbs during a suggestive photograph session.*fn7 These weaknesses left the plurality in "considerable doubt that Delbert Tibbs [was] the man who committed the crimes for which he [had] been convicted." Id., at 790. Therefore, the plurality concluded that the "interests of justice" required a new trial. Ibid.*fn8
Justice Boyd concurred specially, noting that "'[the] test to be applied in determining the adequacy of a verdict is whether a jury of reasonable men could have returned that verdict.'" Id., at ...

Quick Tip You could also say that the females openings resemble an upside down exclamation mark! Determining the sex gender of a kitten is easy when you know what to look for. The first kitten is a young male and the kitten beside it is a young female. It is also noticeable that the opening for the female vulva is more elongated than the opening for the male. It is located between the anus and penis of male kittens and cats. This can potentially lead to the mother cat rejecting her kittens. Occasionally, the fur color of your cat or kitten can give you some indicationas to the sex of the kitten. Your queen and the new babies could not care less though and as far as I know still do not come with little labels on so I thought it may be useful to put down my experiences on this page.
This pic shows where to palpate for testicles in a male kitten or cat. If you need any further help sexing your kittens then please feel free to contact me via the contact page, social media or by using the comments section below. It is also noticeable that the opening for the female vulva is more elongated than the opening for the male. Please consider helping us train the veterinarians of tomorrow by making a gift to the college. Mother cats especially new mothers can become uncertain of their new kittens if you handle them too much and get your human smell all over them. If you see a cat with these genital features, it is definitely a boy. Colour can be your guide. The scrotum the bit resting upon the pink surgical swabs is well-developed and very obvious with two side-by-side, individual bumps inside it: The color of the kitten may suggest its gender. If you can see a clearly-definedscrotal sac, the kitten or cat is a male. Handle young kittens in a warm area and for no more than minutes at a time so that they do not get cold. Quick Tip You could also say that the females openings resemble an upside down exclamation mark! Examine the distance between the kitten's anus and genitals vulva in females and penis in males. I havelabeled the images below the same images as those above to more clearly illustrate thesedifferences for you. It is therefore possible for testicles to be palpated in thescrotal sac regions of very young male kittens, even if the scrotum sac itself has not yet obviouslyenlarged. The testicles of male kittens descend into the scrotal sac just prior tothe kitten being born. Male 8 week old kitten Female 8 week old kitten As the male kitten grows the testicles become more apparent. Often you'll only feel these testicles one at a time it is hard to grab bothat once in a small male kitten and often these testes will deftly slide away from your finger-tips when pressed they are tricky to grasp hold of and feel like small peas rolling away under your fingers. Ginger is a less-reliablecolour indicator of feline sex. In a newborn male kitten, the testicles are tiny and the scrotal sac barely recognisable e. Rest your kittens on a clean towel on their bellies and lift their tails gently to examine their genitals. To orientate you - the kitten is lying on its back. Testicles should be palpable in the male scrotum from the time of birth. Or to be blunt the holes are closer together in a girl than in a boy. What you will notice from these two images is that the genital opening penis or penis-sheath opening of the young male kitten image 1 is shaped like a small circular dot, whereas thegenital opening vulva of the young female kitten image 2 is shaped like a verticalslit.

Although Urbana continues to see improvements in its income tax, estimates from the city’s finance director show those gains will be offset by decreases in other sources of revenue.
Council members recently took an early glance of the city’s tax budget, a snapshot of the revenue that might be available for the next fiscal year.
According to information from Lee Williams, Urbana’s finance director, revenue from the city’s income tax has increased a little more than 3 percent, a projected increase of about $200,000. The revenue from the income tax accounts for about half the city’s budget. However, the city is expected to lose as much as $125,000 from the loss of estate tax alone.
“The 2011 to 2012 income tax rebound has improved the city’s financial outlook,” Williams told council members. “However, lower state funding, the phase out of the tangible personal property tax and the loss of the estate tax has had a negative revenue impact and has created a financial issue that all of us must continue to focus on.”
Overall, Williams said the general fund budget will be about $6.4 million this year. However, projected expenses will eat into all but about $20,000 of the general fund revenue. The city’s overall budget, not including federal or state grants, is expected to be about $13.3 million.
“We’re lucky that income tax is coming up because it’s offsetting the revenue losses,” Williams said.
The city has two budget cycles annually. The tax budget cycle, which occurs earlier in the year, provides an estimate of the revenue that will be available. The appropriations budget, which typically is discussed in the fall, provides an estimate of the city’s expenses.
The tax budget will have three readings before council members and must be adopted by July 15. It must be presented to the Champaign County Budget Commission by late July.

Tonaki Village Council protests against parts of US Marine helicopter falling near Tonaki
January 22, 2014 Ryukyu Shimpo
Parts of a U.S. Marine AH- attack helicopter belonging to the Futenma base fell during flight in training airspace near Irisuna Island, Tonaki on January 15. The parts weighed more than 200 kilograms, including a hellfire missile launcher. In a meeting held on January 21, the Tonaki Village Council unanimously resolved to protest against the accident and file a written statement on it.
On January 22, Tonaki Villiage Mayor Noboru Uehara and the council members visited the Okinawa Defense Bureau. They handed over the document to the bureau and directly protested about the accident. The resolution letter will be sent to the U.S. Consul- General in Okinawa.
In the resolution, the council members pointed out the accident took place along a route for liners and fish boats that connects to the main island of Okinawa, Tonaki Island, and Kume Island in the southwestern area. They strongly stated that it could have been a potentially disastrous accident.
The council asked the U.S. military to announce the cause of the accident, and plans for safety management and recurrence prevention. It also demanded swift disclosure of related information when accidents occur.

- Cha siu bao
Cha siu bao Traditional Chinese 叉燒包 Simplified Chinese 叉烧包 Hanyu Pinyin chā(r)shāo bāo Cantonese Jyutping caa1siu1 baau1 Literal meaning "roast pork bun" Transcriptions Hakka - Romanization chaseu bao Mandarin - Hanyu Pinyin chā(r)shāo bāo Min - Hokkien POJ chhe-sio-pau Cantonese (Yue) - Jyutping caa1siu1 baau1
Cha siu bao or char siu bao is a Cantonese barbecue-pork-filled bun (baozi). The buns are filled with barbecue-flavored cha siu pork. They are served as a type of dim sum during yum cha and are sometimes sold in Chinese bakeries.
There are two major kinds of cha siu bao: steamed (蒸, zing1) and baked (焗, guk6). Steamed cha siu bao has a white exterior, while its baked counterpart is browned and glazed.
Cha siu refers to the pork filling; the word bao simply means "bun."
Although visually similar to other types of steamed baozi, the dough of steamed cha siu bao is unique since it makes use of both yeast and baking powder as leavening. This unique mix of leavening gives the dough of cha siu bao the texture of a slightly dense, but fine soft bread.
Encased in the center of the bun is tender, sweet, slow-roasted pork tenderloin. This cha siu is diced, and then mixed into a syrupy mixture of oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, roasted sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, shaoxing wine or dry sherry, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch.
In Hawaiian pidgin, the item is called Manapua. The word does not mean "chewed-up" (mana) "pork" (puaʻa), as its spelling suggests. Rather, the current form is a shortening of meaʻono-puaʻa, meaning "pork cake" (meaʻono meaning "cake"). In the U.S. mainland, the Chinese term is commonly used. The Chinese brought this dim sum item with them when they were brought over as plantation workers.
This food usually consists of a white bun with a dark pink-colored diced pork filling. The Hawaiian version of the cha siu bao tends to be larger than its Chinese cousin and can be either steamed or baked. The red pork filling's dark pink color comes from marinating the pork with a very small amount of saltpeter prior to slow roasting. The bun is occasionally baked, but more frequently steamed when it is made. Manapua has come to mean any meat-filled or bean-paste-filled bun made with the same dough as described above including locally created versions with hot dogs, curry chicken, kalua pig, and even ube (purple yam), which is a popular vegetarian version of the manapua. In Hawaii, freshly prepared or prepackaged frozen manapua may be found in dedicated bakeries, restaurants, and chain convenience stores.

Up to 4,500 new homes could be built in Woking as a result of a £95 million investment in infrastructure, the Housing Minister Kit Malthouse MP confirmed today.
The money will be spent on widening the Victoria Arch Bridge to remove a major traffic bottleneck in the town.
The spending, under the Housing Infrastructure Fund, is all part of the government’s drive to deliver 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s.
Surrey County Council estimate that 4,555 homes will be unlocked as a result of the investment by 2030.
Housing Minister, Kit Malthouse MP, said: “For decades, governments of all stripes and types have not built enough new homes, and we need to see urgent action to turn that around. This £95 million investment in Woking town centre will mean the town is ready to support thousands of much-needed new homes. We are making money available in Surrey so we can build more, better, faster and meet our ambition to deliver 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s.”
Cllr David Bittleston, Leader of Woking Borough Council, said: “This is fantastic news, not only for Woking but also the wider region. I am delighted that central government has recognised the substantial investment we have made in our borough. By working in partnership with Surrey County Council and other key stakeholders, we can now deliver significant improvements to the local road and rail infrastructure, whilst supporting the continued growth of Woking.”
The funding comes from the Government’s £5.5 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund so that land can be made ready for development.


Pipeline inspection gauges (PIGs) carry out automatic pipeline inspection with nondestructive testing (NDT) technologies like ultrasound, magnetic flux leakage, and eddy current. The ultrasonic straight beam allows technicians to determine the wall thickness of the pipeline through the time of flight diffraction (TOFD), providing the pipeline reconstruction and allowing the detection of several defects like dents or corrosion. If the pipeline is of a long distance, then the inspection process is automatic, and the fluid pressure pushes the PIG through the pipeline system. In this case, the PIG velocity and its axial alignment with the pipeline cannot be controlled. The PIG geometry, the pipeline deformations, and the girth welds cause a continuous chattering when the PIG is running, removing the transducers perpendicularity with the inspection points, which means that some echoes cannot be received. To reduce this problem, we propose a novel method to design a sensor carrier that takes into account the angularity and distance effects to acquire the straight beam echoes. The main advantage of our sensor carrier is that it can be used in concave and convex pipeline sections through geometric adjustments, which ensure that it is in contact with the inner pipe wall. Our improvement of the method is the characterization of the misalignment between the internal wall of the pipeline and the transducer. Later, we analyzed the conditions of the automatic pipeline inspection, the existing recommendations in state-of-the-art technology, and the different mechanical scenarios that may occur. For the mechanical design, we developed all the equations and rules. At the signal processing level, we set a fixed gain in the filtering step to obtain the echoes in a defined distance range without saturating the acquisition channels. For the validation, we compared through the mean squared error (MSE) our sensor carrier in a straight pipe section and a pipe elbow of steel versus other sensor carrier configurations. Finally, we present the design parameters for the development of the sensor carrier for different pipeline diameters.

Yale Tango Festival to be held this weekend
The festival will feature beginner lessons, celebrity performances and live music.
The first Yale Tango Festival in six years will be held across multiple venues this weekend.
The event, which is organized by the Yale Tango Club, will be attended by students from several other universities, including Harvard University, Princeton University, Columbia University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Jonathan Sun GRD ’23, a club member and one of the coordinators of the festival, explained that the festival will involve three events taking place on April 1 and 2.
A “beginner’s bootcamp” will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Gryphon’s Pub on Saturday, led by a professional instructor who will introduce attendees to tango and teach them basic moves. The bootcamp will be followed by a formal dance party called “Milonga” at 8 p.m the same evening. The event will be held in ES Harkness Hall and feature a performance by Lorena Tarantino and Gianpiero Gialdi, celebrity dancers from Italy whose tangos have been viewed millions of times online. Finally, the festival will conclude on Sunday evening with a dance to live music at the Slifka Center, beginning at 7 p.m.
“People who are absolutely new are obviously welcome and we’re doing our best to make sure they feel included at the festival and we’ll have lots of activities for them to do,” Sun said. We’re hoping for it to be a melting pot between people of different experiences.”
Refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided throughout the festival. Altogether, Sun said, the festival is designed to introduce members of the Yale community to tango, deepen the Yale Tango Club’s ties to other universities’ tango groups and celebrate the club’s growth over the past two years.
Sun emphasized that the club and the festival are meant to be beginner-friendly. He added that most members of the Yale Tango Club had only been dancing for between a few months and two years, and that there was no competitive aspect to the festival.
“Argentine tango is more of a social dance. It’s more about meeting people, sharing a hobby with someone else,” he said.
Overall, Sun said he expected around 150 attendees at the festival.
Rafael Dai Pra Da Luz GRD ’25, a member of the Yale Tango Club’s leadership team, also described the festival as a welcoming, fun event. He said that one of the main goals of the festival is “to inspire Yale students to join tango.”
“We are very happy with our community and would like to keep inspiring young people, to show them what tango is about and how beautiful this dance is,” Dai Prai Da Luz said.
Dai Pra Da Luz singled out Tarantino and Gialdi’s performance as the part of the event he was most looking forward to, explaining, “if you type in Tango on YouTube, they’re in one of the first videos that comes up … it’s kind of mind blowing … that they’re going to be coming to Yale.”
Viktor Feketa, an associate research scientist at the medical school who is planning to attend the festival, also said the part of the event he was most excited about was the performance by Tarantino and Gialdi. Feketa encouraged prospective attendees to take part in the festival.
“Tango is a unique confluence of art, sports, and human connection, so if it sounds like something you might enjoy, I encourage you to explore this hobby,” Feketa wrote in an email to the News.
The festival is open to Yale faculty, postgraduates, graduate students and undergraduates, and costs $20 to attend. No experience or partner is required. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing to the “beginner bootcamp” and semi-formal attire to the “Milonga” and live music events. Anyone looking to register can do so through this Google form.

Summer nights are one of my favorite times to live in Dorchester. Unlike other neighborhoods I have lived in, there is a real sense of community. Neighbors stop and talk to each other, people know the neighborhood kids, and shop owners and staff are friendly.
Add to that the smell of the ocean and a handful of great restaurants with outdoor space, and you have yourself the perfect Friday night.
Having not been to Ashmont Grill in a few months, we decided to head there for an early Friday dinner, opting to sit inside because there was still a chill in the air.
Ashmont Grill has an awesome back patio, completely enclosed from the noisy city streets, and complete with a fire pit and fleece blankets on the chairs. It is one of my favorite Boston outdoor dining experiences; if I had been feeling better, we would have been out there.
I had a hard time deciding between a beer, a glass of bubbly, or a cocktail, but Ashmont Grill’s cocktail menu is great, and I finally decided on a Ginger Sidecar which had a spicy kick and was delicious. It warmed me right up!
As we often do at Ashmont, we ordered a bunch of appetizers to share for dinner. When it comes to being able to try four or five things or to eat a big plate of one thing, I definitely go for the variety!
First came the roasted beet and arugula salad with goat cheese, mandarin oranges, and candied walnuts. Heaven on a plate, a salad we both could easily eat every day. I love golden beets!
Next up, we shared a plate of oysters. They were great, but I need to be in an oyster mood, and I wasn’t.
Our dinner course was spicy pork tacos with pickled onions and guacamole, tender, spicy pork on soft, warm tortillas with lots of flavor from the onions and a sprinkle of cilantro.
And, to quell my craving for fries, we shared the tempura veggies with a spicy aioli. It actually worked! These were served piping hot with a crispy coating and an addictive sauce. Though, if you are really, really in the mood for good fries, Ashmont’s “train wreck” fries, topped with bacon, cheese, sour cream, and pickled jalapenos are the way to go.
Dinner at Ashmont Grill is always a laid back, delicious experience with lots of great food and drink choices. Their weekend brunch is fantastic, and their Monday wine club, $35 for dinner and four wines, can not be beat.
Hmmm. . . Where in Dorchester will I eat next?

Kanyakumari is the southern most district of India in the state of Tamilnadu. Kanyakumari is situated between 77o 15' and 77o 36' of the eastern longitudes and 8o 03' and 8o 35' of the Northern Latitudes. It shares the boundary with Tirunelveli District on the North and the east, Gulf of Mannar in the South East, in the South and the South West are Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea and in the West and North West it is bound by Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala. Kanyakumari is the southern tip of the Cardamom Hills, an extension of the Western Ghats range through the west coast of India. Kanniyakumari is 705 kms from Chennai the capitol city of the state of Tamilnadu.
Kanyakumari is famous for its incomparable geographical location of not only it’s the land’s end of the Indian sub-continent, but also for the confluence of Three seas viz. Arabian sea, Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal. Here, Bay of Bengal meets the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. A dip in the ‘Triveni Sangam’ (confluence of the three seas) is considered to be very auspicious.
How to reach
Thiruvananthapuram airport in the state of Kerala is the nearest airport, which is around 90 KM from Kanyakumari. Popular airlines alike Air India, IndiGo, Jet Airways, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Oman Air, Air Arabia and Kuwait Airways have excellent connectivity to different cities of India and other countries from this airport.
Kanyakumari is well connected with railways. The nearest major railway station is Thiruvananthapuram railway station in the state of Kerala, which is connected to almost all the major cities in India.
Kanyakumari is also well connected by road. There are many buses plying to the nearest major cities which are operated by government agencies as well as private transporters.
Previously Kanyakumari district was the part of the erstwhile Travancore state. In 1835, when the state was divided, this area became the part of Southern division and was placed under the jurisdiction of Dewan Peishkar of Kottayam. In July 1949, when the United States of Travancore and Cochin was formed, the present Kanniyakumari district continued to be a part of Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala State. The people of Agasteeswarem, Thovalai, Kalkulam and Vilavancode Taluks, were predominantly Tamil speaking. They agitated for the merger of this area with Madras State. The States Reorganisation Commission also recommended this and accordingly, the States Reorganisation Act, 1956 was passed and the Kanyakumari District was formed on 1st November 1956 , with the four Taluks, Viz., Agasteeswarem, Thovalai, Kalkulam and Vilavancode and merged with Tamilnadu.
Kanyakumari is a popular pilgrim centre and named after goddess ‘Parvati’, wife of lord ‘Shiva’. ‘Kumari Amman’ a temple is dedicated to virgin goddess Kanyakumari (kanya – ‘lady’, kumari – ‘virgin’). Kanyakumari has great spiritual significance for Hindus. It’s dedicated to the goddess Devi Kanya, an incarnation of Parvati. Pilgrims come here to visit the Kanyakumari temple and bath in the Triveni sangamam.
The legend says that the Asuras got supremacy over the Devas, which led to Adharma, ignorance and injustice. Banasura, the king of demons, drove away Devas from heaven and meted out cruel punishments to saints. Due to the agony, Mother Earth sought the help of Lord Vishnu, the Protector of the Universe. The Lord advised that the Devas to pray to Parashakti, who alone is capable of destroying Banasura. Devas performed Yagna to please the Goddess, who appeared before them and promised to annihilate the evil forces. She came to Kanyakumari in the form of a Virgin girl and began her penance. Meanwhile, Lord (of nearby Suchindram temple) fell in love with her and arrangements were made for their marriage.
The divine sage Narad realized that this marriage will destroy the chances of annihilating Banasura, because it was pre-ordinated by Brahma that the demon king could be killed only by a Virgin. Narad decided to stop this marriage. He met both Goddess, Kanya and Lord Shiva and asked them to be ready for the marriage, which has to take place at an auspicious hour at midnight. On the date of marriage Lord Shiva started from Suchindram to Kanyakumari, for the marriage at the auspicious time without missing it. As the Lord reached Vazukkamparai, five kilometers south of Suchindram, Narada assumed the form of a cock and crowed falsely, heralding the break of dawn. Thinking that the auspicious hour for this marriage was over, Lord returned to Suchindram. The Goddess decided to remain Virgin ever after. All the food items prepared for the divine wedding were turned into sand. Small pebbles, resembling rice and the multi-coloured sands are found abundantly on the shore, are believe to be attributed to the above incident.
Bansura heard about the beauty of the Virgin Goddess and requested her hand in marriage. When the Goddess spurned the idea, the demon king decided to win her by force. A fierce battle ensued that the Goddess killed the demon with her Chakrayudha. This relieved Devas and they expressed their gratitude to the Goddess and returned blessed.
