Her husband Desmond Netto is a retired IPS officer in Kerala. Her cousin Girija Vaidyanathan was Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu

Sexual harassment case
In 1999, Nalini, who was the Transport Secretary then, boldly reacted to alleged sexual harassment by Transport Minister Neelalohitadasan Nadar, leading to the resignation of the latter. Though Nadar was later acquitted in the case, the IAS officer sent out a strong message by pursuing the case against the politician. T P Sundararajan, a retired Intelligence bureaucrat turned law professor, was the one who fought the case for her. Before  this incident Nadar was penalized for a similar case filed in by the forest officer Prakriti Srivastava.

The Arman (; ) is a river in Magadan Oblast, Russian Far East. It is  long, with a drainage basin of .

The name of the Arman originated in the Even language, meaning "spring" or "mashed ice". In the upper course there are stretches where the river is known as Artelnyi (Agchakh) and Akhchan.

Course 
The river has its source in the Olsky Plateau of the Upper Kolyma Highlands,  to the west of Atka at an elevation of about . It flows roughly southwards across a mountainous area. In its last stretch is descends to a floodplain with wetlands to the west of Magadan, where it flows across the Arman Range. Further downstream it is joined by the Khasyn from the left. The river ends in a wide lagoon separated from the sea by a landspit. The waters of the Arman enter Taui Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk through a narrow channel at the western end of the spit. Arman village is located on the western side of the mouth of the river. 

The main tributary of the Arman is the  long Khasyn that joins it in its lower course from the left. Other tributaries are relatively small. The river is frozen between October and May.

Fauna
The river is a spawning ground for salmon. Other main fish species in the Arman are coho salmon, grayling, Dolly Varden char and kundzha.

, or  is a Buddhist temple in Mii, Ikaruga, Nara, Japan. The temple is located about a kilometer north of Hōryū-ji's Tō-in. The temple's sangō prefix is .

History 
The origin of the temple is not certain, although there are two prevalent theories. The temple was either built in 622 AD by Prince Yamashiro in his wish for his father, Prince Regent Shōtoku, to recover from an illness or in 670 by three monks as part of the reconstruction of Hōryū-ji, which had burned down that same year.

The original date of construction is unclear, while studies so far suggest it was in the seventh century. The temple was a designated national treasure until the last remaining original structure of the complex, the three-story pagoda, was hit by lightning in 1944, and burnt to ground. The current pagoda is a reconstruction from 1975, and holds the original reliquary that was saved from the fire in 1944.

The temple holds six Buddhist statues that are designated important cultural assets. These are open to public as regular exhibits.

The Bridgeport rig is a quick draw or fast draw handgun holster that was developed in 1882. Today, the device enjoys cult status among cowboy action shooters and other antique gun enthusiasts.

History
The Bridgeport rig was patented in 1882 by Louis S. Flatau, sheriff of Camp County, Texas.

Flatau envisioned mounting the item on a belt or a saddle. A modified hammer screw with a large head that protruded 3/4" from the frame would be installed on the Colt. This screw head would be inserted into the rig and held in place via a strip of spring steel that was attached to the gun belt via rivets. The shooter could rotate the revolver upward to fire without removing it from his belt if needed. These were fabricated by the Bridgeport Gun Implement Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut.

While the Flatau device was dismissed in military circles, it did enjoy limited acceptance among some frontier civilians, particularly peace officers and other professional gunmen who appreciated its speed of access. A common complaint was that the screw was easily damaged and it failed to protect the revolver from the elements.

Period photographs and scattered references indicate that the Bridgeport rig was used by some lawmen into the early 20th century. Elmer Keith wore a Bridgeport rig as did James B. Gillett when he was Marshall of El Paso, Texas, in the 1880s; it is sometimes referred to as the "Gillett rig" for this reason.

Today
Bridgeport rigs are popular among cowboy action shooters and antique pistol enthusiasts due to its appearance in Hollywood Westerns. Few original Bridgeport rigs exist today. Those that do sell for thousands of dollars.

Paul Godet des Marais (1647–1709) was a French Bishop of Chartres, and served as spiritual director for Mme de Maintenon.

History
Marais was born at Talcy, near Blois.  He studied at Saint-Sulpice, took the doctorate of theology at the Sorbonne, was ordained, and became (1677) superior of the Séminaire des Trente-Trois. He preached missions in various parts of France. In 1690 Louis XIV nominated him  to the see of Chartres, but owing to difficulties between France and the Holy see the papal confirmation came only on 21 January 1692. On his promotion to the episcopacy he gave all his revenue to the poor.

Godet des Marais was spiritual director of Mme de Maintenon, for whom he wrote Lettres de direction. She had established the Maison royale de Saint-Louis, a boarding school at Saint-Cyr, for the daughters of nobles killed in the king's wars who had no dowry. The Congregation of the Mission became responsible for attending to the spiritual needs of Saint-Cyr under a contract drawn by Godet, in whose diocese it lay. He became chaplain at Saint-Cyr, which was in his diocese. The agreement also provided that the Vincentians conduct missions on lands belonging to the Abbey of Saint-Denis. 

Godet was an ardent defender of orthodox doctrine, especially against Quietism and other exaggerated approaches to spirituality that were current at the time. He used his influence to have Mme Guyon removed from Saint-Cyr. He signed with Cardinal Louis-Antoine de Noailles and Bossuet the Declaratio condemning Fénelon's Maximes des saints (1697).

He then wrote (1698) several ordonnances, or pastoral letters, against the mysticism of Molinos, Fénelon, and Mme Guyon. He also did much to destroy Jansenism in France, refuted the cas de conscience (1703), commanded obedience to the papal constitution of Pope Clement XI (1705), and severely censured Gaspard Juénin's Institutions théologiques (1708).

A classmate of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle at the Seminary of Saint-Sulpice, in 1699 he invited de La Salle to establish schools in his diocese. He supported the Brothers as long as he lived, doing whatever he could to make their life more bearable and their work more productive and appreciated. In 1708 the small community of sisters, founded by Father Louis Chauvet, was entrusted to him. The bishop gave them a small house and the name Sisters of Saint Paul of Chartres with the Apostle Paul as patron.  

His zeal and charity as well as his orthodoxy, were set forth in an epitaph written by his successor, Monstiers de Mérinville.  He died at Chartres.

The Symphony No. 82 in C major, Hoboken 1/82, is the first of the six Paris Symphonies (numbers 82-87) written by Joseph Haydn. It is popularly known as the Bear Symphony.

Background

The symphony was one of a series of six symphonies commissioned in 1786 by the Concert de la Loge Olympique, a popular concert subscription in Paris (hence the name for the series as a whole). Like the other Paris symphonies, "the Bear" was written for the largest orchestral ensemble that Haydn had written for up until that time, including reinforced woodwind parts and a large string section. Despite its number, the symphony was actually the last of the six Paris symphonies to be composed. It was completed in 1786.

It was first performed in 1787 in Paris by the Concert de la Loge Olympique, directed by the celebrated musician, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

Movements

The work is in standard four movement form and scored for flute, two oboes, two bassoons, horns and/or trumpets, timpani, continuo (harpsichord) and strings. Early conflicting manuscript sources make the exact scoring for the brass unclear. Typically, however it is performed with both horns and trumpets.

Vivace assai, 
Allegretto,  in double variation form.
Menuet e Trio, 
Finale: Vivace,

Nickname (The Bear)
The symphony has long been popularly referred to as "the Bear". As with the nicknames of all Haydn's symphonies, it did not originate with the composer. Instead, the name derives from a recurring feature from the last movement (including its famous opening), in which Haydn imitates the tonality of bagpipes or Dudelsack: a low sustained drone, accentuated by a grace-note on the downbeat. This curious tonality prompted an 1829 piano arrangement of the symphony to be entitled "Danse de l'Ours," the earliest known printed appearance of the nickname. This is a reference to the music used to accompany dancing bears — a popular form of street entertainment.

The New Union (Social Liberals) (, NS) was a social-liberal political party in Lithuania. The NS was a member of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party (ELDR) and an observer of the Liberal International. It was founded in 1998 and is led by Artūras Paulauskas.

History

Establishment and participation in government (1998–2006) 
The party was formed in 1998 on a basis of Artūras Paulauskas presidential campaign team.

Its policy was based on social liberalism: the principal values of which are personal freedom, social solidarity, welfare of people and justice.

In 2000 municipal elections the party won the most seats in municipalities districts' councils.

In 2000 it formed a coalition government with the Liberal Union (and Lithuanian Centre Union and Modern Christian Democrats), but after disagreements between two, in 2001 a new coalition with the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) was formed.

Its candidate Vilija Blinkevičiūtė won 16.6% of the votes in the 2004 presidential election.  At that year's parliamentary election, the party ran in alliance with the Social Democratic Party (LSDP) under the label 'Coalition of Algirdas Brazauskas and Artūras Paulauskas: Working for Lithuania'.  The list won 31 seats out of 141, of which the New Union won 11. After these election a coalition with the LSDP, the Labour Party and Lithuanian Popular Peasant Union (LVLS), which lasted up until summer of 2006.

In opposition, in government and dissolution (2006–2011) 

In January 2008 the party joined new coalition, which consisted from the LSDP, the LVLS, Civic Democratic Party and Liberal and Centre Union.

At the 2008 parliamentary election, the party lost heavily, winning only 1 seat in the Seimas and only 3.64% of the national vote. As other parties that were part of coalition governments in the outgoing parliament suffered in the elections (Social Democratic Party of Lithuania, Labour Party, Liberal and Centre Union and Lithuanian Peasant Popular Union), all lost seats in the Seimas and in the new parliament a centre-right coalition under Andrius Kubilius had the most seats. It left the New Union in opposition.

The party's one member in the Seimas, Valerijus Simulik, sat with the Social Democratic Party political group. In 2011, the party merged with the Labour Party. A minority faction switched to the Liberal and Centre Union.
