Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional

Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional is the seventh studio album by American rock band The Dear Hunter. It was released on September 9, 2016, via Cave and Canary Goods and Equal Vision Records The album is the fifth installment in a six-part series. It follows the conclusion of Act IV: Rebirth in Reprise, in which the story's main character is confronted by his nemesis and forced into blackmail.
Roughly a month prior to the announcement of Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional, Casey Crescenzo began performing a new song entitled "Light" at live shows during the band's early 2016 tour. The song was not accompanied by the full band.
On June 20, 2016, the band mailed out numerous packages to fans who had purchased the "Lifetime" membership in 2010. These lifetime members received a sheet of laminated material in the appearance of a postcard. The postcard had the words "HYMNS WITH THE DEVIL IN CONFESSIONAL" printed across one side, and on the other a message signed by a "Mr. Usher". The postcard also had grooves that could be played on a turntable, revealing a spoken message in relation to the story accompanied by a reprise of the end of the song "City Escape" from Act I: The Lake South, the River North.
The card also contained a URL to the website "hymnswiththedevil.com", which contained a picture of a burnt playing card and a countdown timer set to end on June 22, 2016, at 1:00 pm EDT. At the end of the countdown The Dear Hunter officially announced Act V: Hymns with the Devil in Confessional on their website and via Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Preorders for the album, and a new single "Gloria" were made available immediately.
In addition to the announcement of the album, Crescenzo put a personal message on the website. This message discussed his thoughts on his career, the production of Act V and the future of Act VI:
On August 5, a single entitled "The Revival" was released. "Light" was also released as a single on August 25.
Harry Gem

Major Thomas Henry Gem (21 May 1819 – 4 November 1881), known as Harry Gem, was an English lawyer, soldier, writer and sportsman.
Alongside his friend Augurio Perera, he is credited as a lawn tennis pioneer.
Gem was born in Birmingham, the son of William Gem, also a solicitor, and was educated at King's College London. From 1841 he practised as a solicitor in Birmingham, becoming a magistrate's clerk in 1856.
Highly active in local life, Gem wrote journalism and drama for several local publications, rose to the rank of Major in the 1st Warwickshire Rifle Volunteer Corps and was active in numerous sports including cricket and athletics. He is recorded as having won a bet by running the 21 miles from Birmingham to Warwick in under three and a half hours.
Among Gem's sporting interests was the game of rackets, which he played at the Bath Street Racquets Club adjacent to the Racquet Court Inn in Bath Street, Birmingham with his friend Augurio Perera, a Spanish merchant based in Birmingham. Frustrated at the complex and expensive facilities required for rackets, however, the two developed a similar game that could be played outdoors and may have been played on Perera's croquet lawn at 8 Ampton Road in Edgbaston, incorporating elements of rackets alongside features of the Basque game of pelota.
This game is known to have been being played by 1865, though research has suggested that experimentation may have started as early as 1859. It thus clearly pre-dates the game of sphairistikè, whose rules were published and for which equipment was sold by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield from March 1874.
Gem and Perera's game also bore a closer resemblance to modern tennis than Wingfield's in several significant respects, most notably in being played on a similarly sized and configured rectangular grass court, rather than the hourglass-shaped court with a 'waist' at the net that featured in Wingfield's sphairistikè.
Gem and Perera’s game was originally known as Lawn rackets or pelota.
Some time between 1873 and 1874 both Gem and Perera moved to Leamington Spa and in 1874 formed the Leamington Club with Frederic Haynes and Arthur Tomkins, two doctors from a local hospital, specifically to play the new game of lawn tennis. The Leamington Club, renamed to Leamington Lawn Tennis Club at the end of 1874, thus became the world's first tennis club, playing on the lawns of the Manor House Hotel opposite Perera's new home in Avenue Road.
Gem had also been a member of the Edgbaston Archery Society from 1864 to 1867 and, although there is no direct evidence to demonstrate that he personally introduced lawn tennis to the society, the game was certainly a fixture in the society's calendar by 1875, with the society being renamed the Edgbaston Archery and Lawn Tennis Society in 1877.
Gem died on 4 November 1881 as the result of an accident which occurred on 25 June that year, at the military camp in Sutton Park.

गाजर हलवा

गाजर हलवा हा एक भारतीय खाद्य प्रकार आहे. यासाठी गाजर आणि दूध वापरले जाते.हा गोड पदार्थ आहे.
पारंपारिकपणे गाजराचा हलवा हे मिष्टान्न म्हणून दिवाळी, होळी, ईद अल-फितर आणि रक्षाबंधन या निमित्ताने भारतात सर्व सण-उत्सवाच्या वेळी बनवला आणि खाल्ला जातो. साधारणपणे हिवाळ्यामध्ये हे मिष्टान्न गरम गरमच खाल्ले जाते. गाजराचा हलवा हा इतर गोड पदार्थांसारखा जास्त काळ चांगला राहू शकत नाही त्यामुळे हा कमी प्रमाणात तयार केला जातो आणि कमी प्रमाणातच निर्यात केला जातो.
स्त्रीसाहित्य

पाकशास्त्र आणि स्त्रियांना रस असलेल्या तत्सम विषयांवर स्त्रीलेखकांनी लिहिलेली अनेक मराठी पुस्तके दर वर्षी प्रकाशित होत असतात. एके काळी धार्मिक पुस्तकांनी पुस्तक प्रदर्शनाच्या दालनाचा मोठा हिस्सा व्यापलेला असे, आज स्त्रीसाहित्याने अशीच मोठी जागा अडवलेली असते. प्रामुख्याने स्त्रीसहित्यच प्रसिद्ध करणारे काही प्रकाशक आहेत, आणि प्रामुख्याने स्त्रियांना रस असलेल्या विषयांवरच लिहिणाऱ्या काही लेखिका आहेत. अशा प्रकाशकांचा, लेखकांचा आणि पुस्तकांचा हा परिचय : -
करवा चौथ

करवा चौथ हे हिंदू व्रत आहे. हे व्रत दिल्ली , हरियाणा , राजस्थान , पंजाब, उत्तर प्रदेश , जम्मू , हिमाचल प्रदेश, मध्य प्रदेश या प्रांतात केले जाते .
आश्विन कृष्ण चतुर्थीच्या दिवशी विवाहित स्त्रिया आपल्या पतीच्या दीर्घायुरोग्यासाठी आणि समृृृद्धीसाठी पूर्ण दिवस उपवास करतात. संध्याकाळी चंद्र उगवल्यावर चाळणीतून प्रथम चंद्राचे दर्शन व नंतर पतीचा चेहरा पाहतात. क्वचित अविवाहित स्त्रियाही आपल्या इच्छित पतीसाठी हे व्रत करतात. या दिवशी भगवान शंकर,देवी पार्वती आणि कार्तिकेय यांची पूजा केली जाते. त्याजोडीने दहा छोटे मातीचे घडे पाण्याने भरून त्यांचीही पूजा करण्याची पद्धती आहे. या घड्यांना "करवा" असे म्हणतात.हे करवे नंतर आपल्या घरातील मुलींना आणि बहिणींना भेटवस्तूंसह दिले जातात. या दिवशी महिला एकत्र बसून या व्रताची कथा एकमेकींना सांगतात.काहीवेळा ब्राहण पुरोहित येऊन ही कथा सांगतात आणि त्याच्या मोबदल्यात पुरोहिताला दान दक्षिणा दिली जाते. विवाहित स्रियांना त्यांच्या पतीकडून भेटवस्तू दिली जाते. स्रिया आपल्या सासूचे आणि घरातील अन्य ज्येष्ठ स्रियांचे आशीर्वाद घेतात.
कोणे एके काळी एका नवविवाहित महिलेने आपल्या माहेरी असताना हे व्रत केले.ती सुस्वरूप अशी युवती होती.तिने कठोरपणे आपला उपवास पालन केला. तिच्या तपाने तिला दीर्घायुष्य मिळाले. भावांनी जवळच्या डोंगरावर अग्नी प्रज्वलित केला आणि तिला सांगितले की चंद्र उगवला आहे. व्रताची समाप्ती करताना चंद्राचे दर्शन घेण्यासाठी ती तिथे गेली पण तिला लक्षात आले की भावांनी आपल्याला फसविले आहे.तिचे व्रत मोडल्याने तिच्या पतीच्या निधनाची बातमी तिला समजली.ती बातमी कळताच ती आपल्या पतीच्या घरी निघाली.वाटेत तिला शिव पार्वती भेटले आणि त्यांनी तिला असे का घडले असावे हे कथन केले.पार्वतीने तिला आपल्या करंगळीच्या टोकातून थोडे रक्त दिले आणि आपल्या पतीच्या मुखावर शिंपडण्यास सांगितले.भविष्यकाळात तिने अगदी कठोरपणे हे व्रत पाळण्याचा सल्लाही देवीने तिला दिला. सासरी पोहोचल्यावर तिने पार्वतीने दिलेले रक्त पतीच्या मुखावर शिंपडले आणि तो पुनरूज्जीवित झाला.त्यानंतर या महिलेने निष्ठेने करवा चौथ व्रत पालन केले आणि तिला सुख समृृद्धी प्राप्त झाली अशी या व्रतामागील आख्यायिका आहे.
श्री रत्नेश्वर महादेव मंदिर (कराची)

रत्नेश्वर महादेव मंदिर हे पाकिस्तानमधील कराची येथील ऐतिहासिक भूमिगत हिंदू मंदिर आहे. हे क्लिफ्टनमधील क्लिफ्टन बीच जवळ आहे. हे मंदिर वार्षिक शिवरात्री उत्सवासाठी प्रसिद्ध आहे. या धार्मिक उत्सवादरम्यान, सुमारे २५,००० यात्रेकरू येथील मंदिराला भेट देतात.
श्री रत्नेश्वर महादेव मंदिर हे सहा स्तरांचे भूमिगत मंदिर आहे. जहांगीर कोठारी परेडजवळ दोन जिने आहेत. जे भूमिगत स्तराकडे जातात. चौथा भूमिगत स्तर संगमरवरी दगडाने बनवलेला मजला आहे. पाचव्या स्तरावर एक बोगदा आहे जो मोहट्टा पॅलेसकडे जातो असे मानले जाते. येथे असलेल्या गुहेच्या आत गोड्या पाण्याचा झराही आहे. हे एक स्थापत्यशास्त्राचे उत्तम उदाहरण आहे.
२०१४ मध्ये, क्लिफ्टन वाहतूक सुधारणा प्रकल्पांतर्गत मंदिराजवळ दोन अंडरपास आणि उड्डाणपुलाचे बांधकाम सुरू करण्यात आले. यामुळे गुहेला भेगा पडू लागल्या. याविरोधात पाकिस्तान हिंदू पंचायतीने सर्वोच्च न्यायालयात खटला दाखल केला आणि न्यायालयाने मंदिराच्या जीर्णोद्धाराचे आदेश दिले.
कराचीतील हिंदूंचा असा विश्वास आहे की शिवाचा तिसरा डोळा समुद्रावर नजर ठेवतो आणि पूरसारख्या सागरी आपत्तींना प्रतिबंध करतो. असे मानले जाते की या गुहेत भगवान शिव राहत होते. गुरू नानक या गुहेत ध्यान करत होते.
शिवरात्रीच्या रात्री, कराचीतील हिंदू उपवास करतात आणि मंदिरात जातात. नंतर, चनेसर गोठमधील भक्त शिवाच्या मूर्तीला स्नान करण्यासाठी गंगेचे पाणी घेऊन मंदिरात येतात. या पाण्याला पवित्र मानले जाते. पहाटे ५ वाजेपर्यंत पूजा केली जाते, त्यानंतर आरती केली जाते. त्यानंतर भाविक अनवाणी चालत महिलांसोबत फुले, अगरबत्ती, तांदूळ, नारळ आणि दिवा असलेली पूजेची थाळी घेऊन समुद्रात घेऊन जातात. त्यानंतर ते उपवास सोडतात. उपवास सोडण्यासाठी ते नाश्त्यासाठी मंदिराच्या स्वयंपाकघरात तयार केलेले अन्न खातात.
हिंदू सण आणि उत्सव

सांस्कृतिक, आध्यात्मिक अथवा धार्मिक कारणांनी साजऱ्या होणाऱ्या दिवसांना सण असे म्हणतात. भारतातील बरेचसे सण, उत्सव मेळे आणि जत्रा या मौसमी स्वरूपाच्या असतात.त्या साजरा करण्याचा दिनांक भारतीय पंचांगाला अनुसरून असतो. या सणांचे अंकनही मराठी कॅलेंडरवर असते. महत्त्वाच्या सणांच्या दिवशी शाळा, कॉलेजे, संस्था आणि सरकारी व गैरसरकारी कार्यालये यांना सुटी जाहिर केलेली असते.
हिंदू सण, कधी, कां आणि कसे साजरे करतात यांवर अनेक मराठी पुस्तके आहेत. त्यांपैकी काही ही :
छट पूजा

छट पूजा ही उत्तर भारतातील स्त्रिया करीत असलेली एक प्रकारची सूर्यपूजा आहे. छटव्रत स्वीकारून ही पूजा करण्यात येते. या व्रतादरम्यान स्त्रिया निर्जल उपवास करतात व सूर्याला अर्घ्य देऊन हा उपवास सोडण्यात येतो. हे व्रत सौभाग्य व समृद्धीसाठी आणि संतानप्राप्तीसाठी करण्यात येते. भारताच्या बिहार व झारखंड राज्यात हे व्रत मोठ्या प्रमाणात साजरे करण्यात येते.
या व्रतादरम्यान, सूर्य, सूर्यपुत्र यम व त्याची बहिण षष्टी हिचे पूजन केले जाते.संपूर्ण वर्षात चैत्र मासात व कार्तिक मासात अशी दोन वेळा छट पूजा करण्यात येते. पण कार्तिक महिन्यातील छट पूजेचे महत्त्व जास्त असते.
पूजा रानी

पूजा रानी बोहरा (१७ मार्च, १९९२:निमरीवाली, भिवनी जिल्हा, हरयाणा, भारत - ) ही एक भारतीय मिडलवेट मुष्टियोद्धा आहे. ती २०१९ आणि २०२१ची आशियाई विजेता आहे. तिने २०१४ आशियाई क्रीडा स्पर्धेत ७५ किॅग्रॅ वर्गात कांस्यपदक जिंकले. तसेच २०१६ दक्षिण आशियाई क्रीडा स्पर्धा मध्ये सुवर्णपदक जिंकले होते. याशिवाय पूजा रानीने २०१२ आशियाई स्पर्धेत तर २०१५मध्ये कांस्यपदक जिंकले. तिने ग्लासगो राष्ट्रकुल खेळांत मध्ये भारताचे प्रतिनिधित्व केले होते. पूजा रानी ७ वेळा राष्ट्रीय विजेती होती तिने २०२० उन्हाळी ऑलिंपिक स्पर्धेत भारताचे प्रतिनिधित्व केले.
पूजा रानीचे गाव निमरीवाली हे भारतातील मुष्टियुद्धाचे केन्द्र मानले जाते. पूजा रानीला येथील हवासिंग बॉक्सिंग अकादमीमध्ये सामील व्हायचे होते परंतु तिचे वडील त्याला नाही म्हणतील हे तिला माहिती होते. एक वर्ष होय-नाही करत तिने शेवटी येथे प्रवेश घेतला पण वडिलांना हे सांगितले नाही. सरावात होणाऱ्या जखमा वडिलांना दिसू नये म्हणून ती अशावेळी मैत्रिणींच्या घरी जाउन रहात असे.
बाली लोक

बाली लोक (इंडोनेशियन: सुकु बाली) हे इंडोनेशियातील बाली बेटात रहाणारे लोक आहेत. हे आस्ट्रोनियन वंशाच्या समूहात मोडतात. बालीची लोकसंख्या ४.२ दशलक्ष (इंडोनेशियाच्या लोकसंख्येच्या १.७% टक्के) आहे. एकूण बाली लोकसंख्येपैकी ८९% टक्के लोक बेटावर राहतात. लॉम्बाक बेटावर आणि जावाच्या पूर्वेकडील भागात (उदा. बानुवांगीची नगरपालिका) येथे देखील बरेच बाली लोक राहतात.
बाली लोकांचा उगम तीन प्रकारच्या स्थलांतरातून (लाटांमधून) झाला आहे. सर्वात पहिले स्थलांतर हे जावा आणि कालीमंतनमधून सुरू झाले होते. हिंदू काळात जावामधून बऱ्याच वर्षांपासून बाली लोकांची दुसरी लाट आली. तिसरी आणि शेवटची लाट जावामधून १५ व्या आणि १६ व्या शतकादरम्यान आली, त्याच वेळी जावा मध्ये इस्लाम धर्मांतरण चालु झाले होते. मातरमच्या इस्लामी परिवर्तनापासून वाचण्यासाठी जावातील अमीर-उमराव हिंदू आणि हिंदू शेतकरी यांनी बालीला पळ काढला. यासाठी जावातील हिंदू मजापहीत साम्राज्याचे पतन कारणीभूत ठरले. यामुळे बालि संस्कृती पुनरुत्थानीत जावा संस्कृतीचे एक समनुरूप स्वरूप बनले. आजही बाली मध्ये जावा मधील बऱ्याच गोष्टींचा प्रभाव जाणवतो.
करफेट एट अल यांनी २००५ मध्ये केलेल्या डीएनए अभ्यासात आढळले की बालि लोकांतील वाय-क्रोमोसोम हे १२% भारतीय मूळ उत्पत्तीचे आहेत, तर ८४% संभाव्य ऑस्ट्रोनीयन मूळ आणि उरलेले संभाव्य मेलानेशियन मूळचे २% आहेत.
बाली संस्कृती ही बाली हिंदू-बौद्ध धर्म आणि बाली रीति-रिवाज यांचे मिश्रण आहे. बाली संस्कृती त्यांच्या नाट्य, नाटक आणि शिल्पकलेसाठी् साठी प्रसिद्ध आहे. बेट हे वायंग कुलिट किंवा छाया नाटकांच्या थिएटरसाठी देखील प्रसिद्ध आहे. ग्रामीण आणि उपेक्षित गावांमध्येदेखील सुंदर मंदिरे ही एक सामान्य बाब आहे आणि तसेच कुशल खेळाडू आणि प्रतिभावान कलाकार देखील सापडतात. बाली स्त्रियांनी अर्पण करताना केलेली हस्तरेखाची पाने आणि फळांची व्यवस्थादेखील त्यांची कलात्मक बाजू दर्शवते. मेक्सिकन कला इतिहासकार जोसे मिगुएल कोवारुबियास यांच्या मते, हौशी बाली कलाकारांद्वारे बनविलेल्या कलाकृतींना आध्यात्मिक मानले जाते आणि म्हणूनच या कलाकारांना त्यांच्या कामाबद्दल न मिळणाऱ्या प्रसिद्धीबद्दल वाईट वाटत नाही. बाली कलाकार चीनी देवता किंवा सजावटीच्या गाड्यांवरील नक्शीकामांची नक्कल करण्यातही कुशल आहेत.
संगीतातील गॅमलनचा वापर आणि बाली समाजाच्या विविध पारंपरिक कार्यक्रमांसाठी ही संस्कृती प्रसिद्ध आहे. प्रत्येक प्रकारच्या कार्यक्रमांसाठी विशिष्ट प्रकारचे संगीत वापरले जाते. उदाहरणार्थ, पिओडालानसाठी (वाढदिवसाचा उत्सव) वापरलेले संगीत हे मेटाटा (दात घासणे) समारंभासाठी वापरल्या जाणाऱ्या संगीतांपेक्षा वेगळे आहे.

२०१६ कबड्डी विश्वचषक, ही स्टँडर्ड प्रकारातील आंतरराष्ट्रीय कबड्डी फेडरेशन मार्फत भरवली जाणारी तिसरी विश्वचषक स्पर्धा आहे. सदर स्पर्धेची तिसरी आवृत्ती ७ ते २२ ऑक्टोबर २०१६ दरम्यान भारतातील अहमदाबादमध्ये खेळवली गेली. स्पर्धेत १२ देशांचे संघ सहभागी झाले.
भारताने इराणचा अंतिम सामन्यामध्ये ३८–२९ या फरकाने पराभव करत सलग तिसरा कबड्डी विश्वचषक जिंकला.
संपूर्ण स्पर्धा अहमदाबाद येथील नव्याने बांधण्यात आलेल्या परिवर्तनीय अशा द अरेना (नावाच्या प्रलंबित असलेल्या हक्कांची अधिकृत विक्री प्रलंबित असल्याने, सध्या ट्रान्सस्टॅडिया म्हणून ओळखले जाते) येथे पार पडेल. मैदानाच्या सर्वसाधारण आकारानुसार ते एक २०,००० प्रेक्षकक्षमता असेलेलेल फुटबॉल मैदान म्हणून वापरले जाते. स्टॅडिअरेना नावाच्या एका ब्रिटिश कंपनीच्या तंत्रज्ञानाचा परवाना ह्या मैदानासाठी वापरला जातो, ज्यामुळे मैदानाच्या काही भागाचे विभाजन करून एक ४०००-प्रेक्षक क्षमतेचे इनडोअर मैदान तयार करता येते, जे सध्या स्पर्धेसाठी वापरले जात आहे. हे ठिकाण एक पर्यटन मंत्रालयासोबत सार्वजनिक-खाजगी भागीदारीमध्ये आहे.

अरिना फुटबॉल हा अरिना फुटबॉल लीग (एएफएल) आणि चीन एरेना फुटबॉल लीग (सीएएफएल) द्वारे खेळल्या गेलेल्या इनडोर ग्रिडिरॉन फुटबॉलचा एक प्रकार आहे. हा खेळ, अमेरिकेतील किंवा कॅनेडियन आउटडोअर फुटबॉलपेक्षा लहान क्षेत्रामध्ये खेळला जातो, ज्यामुळे तो एक जलद आणि उच्च-स्कोअरिंग खेळ होतो. १९८१ मध्ये या खेळाचा शोध लावला गेला आणि १९८७ मध्ये राष्ट्रीय फुटबॉल लीग आणि युनायटेड फुटबॉल लीगचे माजी कार्यकारी जिम फोस्टर यांनी त्याचे पेटंट घेतले. पेटंटची मुदत संपल्यानंतर २००७ पर्यंत तो एक पेटंट खेळ होता. (ज्याचे अधिकार ग्रिडिरॉन एंटरप्रायझेसच्या मालकीचे होते). जरी इनडोअर अमेरिकन फुटबॉलचा एकमात्र वेगळा प्रकार नसला तरी तो सर्वात व्यापकपणे ओळखला जातो आणि ज्यावर आधुनिक फुटबॉलचा इतर प्रकार कमीतकमी अंशतः आधारीत असतो.

सोनाली विष्णू शिंगटे (२७ मे १९९५:मुंबई, महाराष्ट्र - ) ही महाराष्ट्रातील एक व्यावसायिक महिला कबड्डीपटू आहे. जकार्ता येथील २०१८ आशियाई क्रीडा स्पर्धांमध्ये रौप्य पदक आणि काठमांडू येथे २०१९ आशियाई खेळांमध्ये सुवर्णपदक जिंकणाऱ्या भारतीय संघांचा ती भाग होती.
शिंगटे ही भारतीय रेल्वेमध्ये काम करीत असून, तिने राष्ट्रीय कबड्डी अजिंक्यपद स्पर्धेत रेल्वे संघाकडून सुवर्ण आणि रौप्य पदके जिंकली आहेत. महाराष्ट्र सरकारने तिला शिव छत्रपती या राज्यातील सर्वोच्च क्रीडा पुरस्कार दिला आहे.
सोनालीचा जन्म मुंबईतील लोअर परळमध्ये झाला. तिचे वडील सिक्युरिटी गार्ड म्हणून काम करत होते आणि आई भोजनालय चालवत असे. महर्षी दयानंद महाविद्यालयात शिकत असताना तिने कबड्डी खेळायला सुरुवात केली. सोनालीने प्रशिक्षक राजेश पाडवे यांच्याकडून शिव शक्ति महिला संघ क्लब येथे कबड्डीच्या प्रशिक्षणाला सुरुवात केली. त्या काळात आर्थिक परिस्थिती अगदीच हलाखीची असल्याने तिला शूज आणि कबड्डी किट खरेदी करणे देखील शक्य नव्हते. तिचे प्रशिक्षक पाडवे यांनी तिला शूज आणि किटसाठी मदत केली. तिचे कुटुंब तिला खेळासाठी पाठिंबा देत असताना त्यांची इच्छा होती की तिने अभ्यासाकडे लक्ष द्यावे. बऱ्याच वेळा ती संध्याकाळी सराव करून किंवा खेळून, नंतर मध्यरात्री उठून सकाळच्या परीक्षेसाठी अभ्यास करायची.
सुरुवातीला सोनालीला तिची ताकद वाढवण्यासाठी जास्तीचे प्रयत्न करावे लागले. तिला धावताना त्रास होत असे. म्हणूनच ती पाय व पोट बळकट करण्यासाठी धावणे तसेच पायाला वजन बांधून विविध व्यायाम करणे, असा सराव करू लागली.
सोनालीला भारताकडून सतत खेळायची इच्छा आहे, मात्र पुरुष प्रो-कबड्डी लीगच्या धरतीवर महिलांसाठीसुद्धा देशांतर्गत कबड्डी लीगची बाब अधोरेखित करते.
सोनालीने आपल्या कारकिर्दीची सुरुवात २०१४ मध्ये कनिष्ठ स्तरावर महाराष्ट्राचे प्रतिनिधित्व करताना केली. कनिष्ठ राष्ट्रीय कबड्डी अजिंक्यपद स्पर्धा २०१४-१५ मध्ये तिने या संघाचे नेतृत्व केले आणि रौप्य पदक जिंकले. २०१५ मध्ये तिने भारतीय रेल्वेमध्ये नोकरी सुरू केली आणि रेल्वेला वरिष्ठ राष्ट्रीय स्पर्धेत ६४व्या (२०१६-१७),६६व्या (२०१८-१९)आणि ६७व्या (२०१९-२०) आवृत्तीत सुवर्ण व ६५व्या (२०१७-१८) आवृत्तीत रौप्य पदक जिंकून दिले.
रेल्वे संघाची अग्रगण्य रेडर (पहिली आक्रमणकर्ता) म्हणून सोनाली तिच्या अतिरिक्त गुण लुटण्याच्या शैलीसाठी ओळखली जाते. जकार्ता येथे आशियाई खेळ २०१८ मध्ये भारताकडून खेळण्यासाठी तिची निवड झाली होती, जिथे भारताने रौप्य पदक जिंकले. काठमांडू येथे दक्षिण आशियाई क्रीडा स्पर्धा २०१९ मध्ये ती सुवर्ण पदक जिंकणाऱ्या भारतीय संघाचा भाग होती.
सन २०२० मध्ये महाराष्ट्र शासनाने तिला राज्यातील सर्वोच्च क्रीडा पुरस्कार असलेल्या शिव छत्रपती पुरस्काराने सन्मानित केले.

भारताने यापूर्वीच्या २०१८ च्या आशियाई खेळांमधील ७० पदकांच्या सर्वोत्कृष्ट कामगिरीला मागे टाकत इतिहासात प्रथमच १०० पदकांचा टप्पा पार केला आणि चीन, जपान आणि दक्षिण कोरियानंतर असे करणारा चौथा देश बनला. खेळांमध्ये, तिरंदाजी, कबड्डी, क्रिकेट आणि फील्ड हॉकीमध्ये भारत सर्वोत्तम कामगिरी करणारा देश होता आणि ॲथलेटिक्स, नेमबाजी आणि स्क्वॅशमध्ये दुसरा सर्वोत्तम कामगिरी करणारा देश होता. भारताने बॅडमिंटनमध्ये पहिले सुवर्ण जिंकले आणि आशियाई स्पर्धेमध्ये बॅडमिंटनच्या खेळातील आतापर्यंतची सर्वोत्तम कामगिरी केली. तसेच, शूटिंग या खेळात भारतीय खेळाडूंनी अनेक जागतिक विक्रम प्रस्थापित केले. सुवर्णपदक जिंकल्यामुळे, पुरुष फील्ड हॉकी संघ २०२४ उन्हाळी ऑलिंपिकसाठी आपोआप पात्र ठरला.
सोनी स्पोर्ट्स नेटवर्कने भारत क्षेत्रासाठी खास मीडिया अधिकार विकत घेतले. या खेळांचे थेट प्रक्षेपण दूरचित्रवाणीवर आणि ओटीटी प्लॅटफॉर्म SonyLIV वर करण्यात आले. 'हम हैं, जिद पे सवार, इस बार, सौ पार, फिर से, हम होंगे कामयाब!' म्हणजे ह्यावेळी भारत १०० पदकांचा टप्पा पार करेल या घोषणेसह कार्यक्रमापूर्वी नेटवर्कद्वारे भारतीय दलाला पाठिंबा म्हणून एक मोहीम सुरू करण्यात आली.

Kabaddi World Cup (World Kabaddi)

The Kabaddi World Cup, is an indoor international kabaddi tournament conducted by the World Kabaddi. It follows the standard style (indoors on a rectangular court) and is contested by both men's and women's national teams. The format involves a round-robin tournament followed by a knockout stage.
The World Cup has been held once (in 2019) with another scheduled for 2025. Unlike its IKF counterpart, all World Cups of World Kabaddi were held outside India to globalise the event. In 2019, both the men's and women's competitions were won by the Indian teams.

The World Kabaddi has focused in spreading the game beyond Asia, especially in Europe and Africa, and as of 2024, World Kabaddi had more than 50 member countries. However, some countries that participate in International Kabaddi Federation events cannot participate in World Kabaddi events as they do not have a governing body affiliated to the World Kabaddi. Countries that participate in both IKF and World Kabaddi sanctioned events have separate governing bodies for each affiliation.

Variations of kabaddi

Kabaddi is a contact sport of South Asian origin which has many variations.
Traditional kabaddi was played differently from modern kabaddi, in part because of the launch of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) in 2014 which added and changed certain rules. For example, some styles of modern kabaddi feature a 30-second time limit on each raid, whereas traditional kabaddi had no time limits, with raiders instead having been required to complete the raid on one breath, chanting "kabaddi" repeatedly to prove to the referee that they were not inhaling.
The International Kabaddi Federation (IKF) and World Kabaddi (WK) are two major international kabaddi organisations that have slightly different rules for kabaddi. IKF kabaddi matches have two halves, while WK are played in four quarters.
Beach kabaddi is played in two 15-minute halves by two teams of four players who are not allowed to wear shoes. It is played at an international level in competitions such as the Asian Beach Games.
Indoor kabaddi is played in two 15-minute halves by two teams of five players and is a shorter variant of standard style kabaddi. It is played at an international level in competitions such as the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
Ghoda kabaddi is a variation of kabaddi in which one player on the offensive team (the ghoda or "horse") sits in a small circle deep within the defensive team's half of the field. Once touched by the raider, the horse can leave the circle and must then return to his team.
Budhiya kabaddi originates from the Magadha region of India. It is played with two teams of four or more players. The scoring team has a player (called the budhiya or "old lady") who starts off positioned at the opposite end of the field from the "home" area. The old lady's goal is to reach home without being touched by any of the opponents.
In whip kabaddi, one player (the singer) stands in one half of the court, while all other players stand on the other side of the court and each hold a whip-like object (generally made of a soft material like cloth or paper). The singer's job is to sing while trying to tag opponents; once the singer has tagged an opponent, they must flee the field and try to avoid being whipped.
There are two players on each team in this traditional game of Myanmar. The defenders can not tackle the raider in this variant; they can only attempt to tag the raider before the raider escapes. If the raider escapes without executing or receiving a tag, then the game continues with the other side raiding.
Harjeet Brar Bajakhana

Harjeet Singh Brar also known as Bajakhana (5 September 1971 – 16 April 1998) was a professional kabaddi player. He was a Raider in circle style kabaddi. Harjeet Brar was born in Bajakhana village in Faridkot, Punjab. His life ended when he died in a motor vehicle accident.
He was a big kid with a strong build and stature. Since Kabaddi was immensely popular in rural Punjab at that time, his father, Sardar Bakshish Singh encouraged him to play this sport. He started to play in local tournaments and soon made his presence felt in all the games he played. When Harjit Brar was in 8th standard, he participated in Mini Games at Guwahati and won the tournament. Seeing his determination and grip on the game, he was admitted to Sports college, Jalandhar, Punjab (India) and this is where his professional Kabaddi career took off.
He was married to Narinderjit Kaur and had a daughter, Gagan Harjeet Kaur a year later.
He made his international debut in 1994, when he came to play in Canada. His redoubtable qualities and the respect he showed for opponents soon made him a popular figure. Harjit Bajakhana became a synonym to Kabaddi. During the final of 1996 Kabaddi World Cup, prize money of one lakh Rupees was awarded for his single winning raid. At one time in Canada, his one raid attracted a bet of $35,000.00. Such was his stature.
On 16 April 1998, Harjeet Brar Bajakhana was killed in a tragic road accident along with three other prominent Kabbadi players, Talwar Kaonke, Kewal Lopoke and Kewal Sekha. Sukhchain Singh of Sidhwan Kalan village sustained serious injuries and was admitted to PGI. Following his treatment he was discharged from the hospital. According to their family members, Kabaddi players were on their way to New Delhi to acquire visas for their travel abroad. They were travelling on the Kharar-Morinda stretch of National Highway 95, in a Gypsy bearing registration number PB-10-U-0097. The accident took place near the town of Morinda, when a truck bearing registration number HR-35-2371, collided head on with their vehicle. It led to the killing of four of them on the spot and seriously injuring the fifth occupant. All four Kabaddi players were brought to a Kharar Hospital. Following the post-mortem examination, their bodies were subsequently released to their relatives. Harjit Bajakhana's death brought an abrupt end of an era. Harjeet Bajakhana had achieved what no other Kabaddi player could.
2016 Kabaddi World Cup (International Kabaddi Federation)

The 2016 Kabaddi World Cup was the third edition of the men's Kabaddi World Cup organised by the International Kabaddi Federation and contested from 7 to 22 October 2016 in Ahmedabad, India. Twelve countries competed in the tournament. India won their 3rd World Cup by defeating Iran 38–29 in the final.
Twelve teams competed in the tournament. Pakistan was originally scheduled to participate in the tournament, but was removed due to increased tensions between India and Pakistan. The International Kabaddi Federation argued that it was "not the right time to engage with Pakistan". The Pakistani team criticized the move, arguing that it was comparable to holding a FIFA World Cup without Brazil.
The tournament was hosted at The Arena (currently known as The Arena by TransStadia, pending the sale of official naming rights), a newly constructed convertible stadium in Ahmedabad. In its standard configuration, it operates as an outdoor football pitch capable of seating 20,000. The venue utilizes technology licensed from the British firm StadiArena, which allows a portion of the field to be partitioned into a 4,000-seat indoor arena, which is used for the tournament. The venue is a public-private partnership with India's Department of Tourism
The official emblem of the tournament was unveiled on 14 September 2016 by Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Vijay Goel. It incorporates a stylized lion, representing the Asiatic lions of Girnar. The use of a lion symbolizes the "ferocity of a Kabaddi defender and the agility of a raider", while its striped mane represents the worldwide participation in the tournament.
Star Sports served as host broadcaster of the tournament. In a partnership with Voke, all matches were also streamed in 360-degree video with stereoscopic 3D options.

Kabaddi in the United Kingdom

Kabaddi is a contact team sport played mainly by the South Asian community in the United Kingdom. The British Kabaddi League is the main kabaddi competition in the UK, and is played annually. The 2025 Kabaddi World Cup will be hosted in the West Midlands region of England.
Kabaddi was first promoted to a significant extent in the UK when it was shown on Channel 4 in the 1990s. The growth of the South Asian community in the UK has also grown the sport. The cost-of-living crisis is also a factor in kabaddi's growth, as it is an inexpensive sport to play.
There have been several incidents of violence at kabaddi tournaments in the UK, as well as alleged ties between kabaddi and gang activities.
EKA Arena

EKA Arena (formerly The Arena/TransStadia Arena) is a multi-purpose stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, located near Kankaria Lake. The stadium was officially opened on 7 October 2016. It was built in a public-private partnership between the Government of Gujarat and SE TransStadia, a company led by entrepreneur Udit Sheth.
The stadium seats 20,000 spectators in its main football configuration. It is capable of being partitioned into an indoor arena, allowing it to host other sporting events (such as kabaddi and table tennis).
TransStadia was established by entrepreneur Udit Sheth after being introduced to British footballer and stadium consultant Paul Fletcher. Sheth sought to build a multi-purpose stadium on an otherwise-unused property in Gujarat, licensing technology from Fletcher's company StadiArena to allow part of the facility to be converted into an indoor arena to maximise its utilisation.
Sheth stated that the design of the stadium and its facilities were intended to meet the needs of players, spectators, and broadcasters, including training facilities, ensuring there were no obstructed views and adequate fibreoptic connections for Wi-Fi, and working with Star Sports officials to plan the necessary infrastructure for broadcasting. He cited Amsterdam Arena, the Tokyo Dome, and Wembley Stadium as influences on its overall design.
The facility cost ₹550 crore to construct, as part of a public-private partnership with the state government; Sheth explained that "the project would not have been viable if we decided to charge commercial market value rent and still expected sports to develop. A regular project will recover money in around five years while we will do it in seven to nine years."
Its indoor arena hosted its facility's first sporting event — the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup—in November 2016. A formal inauguration ceremony was held 30 June 2017, attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other political and sporting dignitaries. During a speech at the ceremony, Sheth referred to The Arena as "the most modern stadium in the world".
The Arena hosted the Kabaddi World Cup in 2016. It has hosted legs of the Pro Kabaddi League, serving as designated home arena of the Gujarat Giants.
In July 2019, the stadium hosted the 2019 Intercontinental Cup, marking the first international football matches held at The Arena.
It was to host matches during the 2020 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, but the tournament was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. India were awarded the 2022 tournament, but Ahmedabad was not named a host city.
It hosted football during the 2022 National Games of India.
Guru Nanak Stadium

Guru Nanak Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Ludhiana, India. It hosts football matches and athletic competitions. It is used as one of the home grounds of the Indian Super League team Punjab FC. With seating capacity of 30,000 spectators.
The adjacent indoor stadium has been used for the National Basketball Championship.
It had the privilege of hosting 31st National Games in 2001.
Stadium has hosted some domestic kabaddi matches. It also hosted matches of Kabaddi World Cup.
General director de Carabineros de Chile

El general director de Carabineros es el jefe máximo de Carabineros de Chile. Entre 1927 y 1932 la más alta autoridad de dicha fuerza policial se denominó «director general».
El general director es designado por el presidente de la República de entre los cinco generales más antiguos de la institución y por un periodo de cuatro años. La Constitución Política de la República de Chile consigna que es inamovible de su cargo, salvo en los casos que el presidente de la República lo estime conveniente. Integra el Consejo de Seguridad Nacional de Chile.
Es el nivel directivo superior de la institución, que preserva los principios y la doctrina institucional. Establece, consolida, difunde y desarrolla las políticas de Carabineros. Se encuentra en la cima de la jerarquía policial y está sobre los oficiales generales (generales inspectores y generales); los oficiales superiores (coroneles); los oficiales jefes (teniente coroneles y mayores); los oficiales subalternos (capitanes, tenientes y subtenientes); los suboficiales y carabineros.
El galón que distingue al general director es de similares condiciones que el de general de Ejército del Ejército de Chile, salvo que el de este último es rojo y el suyo es de color verde. Al igual que los galones de generales de Carabineros de Chile, tiene un fondo verde, bordes dorados y trae estrellas doradas dependiendo del grado de general, pero lleva cuatro estrellas. Es el único galón en Carabineros, que se lleva en el hombro desde el pecho en dirección espalda.
Los generales directores de Carabineros de Chile desde la creación del cargo en 1931, han sido:​
Distintivos de grado de Carabineros de Chile

Los distintivos de grado de Carabineros de Chile son los emblemas oficiales que utilizan los integrantes de la policía uniformada de Chile.
Carabineros de Chile tiene un origen castrense derivado de los Antiguos Cuerpos de Caballería del Ejército. Debido a esto, suele tener mucha coincidencias o similitud con los grados jerárquicos y orgánica de las Fuerzas Armadas.​
Sin perjuicio de los distintivos y condecoraciones especiales otorgados por mérito,​ conforme al artículo 6° de su Ley Orgánica Constitucional, la N.º 18961, los grados y escala jerárquica del Personal de Carabineros de Chile es la siguiente:​​
Los oficiales, surgidos de los cadetes de la Escuela de Oficiales de Carabineros, en la fraseología interna de la institución reciben la denominación de «personal de nombramiento supremo» (P.N.S.) porque sus nombramientos, ascensos y retiros se autorizan formalmente mediante un decreto supremo firmado por el Presidente de la República.​
Los suboficiales y tropa, que se forma separados de los aspirantes a oficiales en una Escuela de Formación Policial, en «grupos de formación» en diversas provincias y una Escuela de Suboficiales, reciben la denominación interna de «personal de nombramiento institucional» (P.N.I.) porque sus destinaciones, ascensos y retiros son una atribución legal del General Director de Carabineros, cuya firma formaliza estas decisiones en una «resolución exenta». Coincidiendo con la práctica común de las fuerzas armadas chilenas, las carreras de oficial y suboficial son excluyentes, no estando contemplada la posibilidad de que un suboficial ascienda a un rango de la oficialidad, pudiendo —en casos extraordinarios— terminar sus carreras con el rango especial de «suboficial mayor».​
