This egg was only available in Egg Cave's Cash Shop Park for Valentine's Day 2015.
The Sikeree is the first creature ever discovered in Ark that begins life as a conjoined egg. The conjoined egg houses two individual creatures.
The Sikeree creature represents an ancient legend of love between two birds named Sik and Ree.
Long ago, there were two birds born to separate parents just minutes apart, Sik and Ree. From the outset, Sik and Ree were inseparable and knew that they loved one another without reservation. Sadly, in an unexpected event Sik's father died. At that same time, Ree's mother passed away.
Undone and robbed by grief, their love fell apart as they had no energy to give to one another. In their pain, they flew away from each other, each in opposite directions for miles and miles.
Now hundreds of miles apart, Sik began to think of Ree and Ree of Sik. To find one another again, they both flew back to the same spot from which they departed but they had missed each other for they arrived and departed at different times.
After 10 long years of yearning and searching for one another, Sik and Ree found each other perched across the opening of The Volcano at about the time they were both going to give up. Reunited, they rekindled their love with new perspective on their loss as younger birds.
The Legend of Sik and Ree teaches that no amount of pain or distance can sever or alter the tie of true love.

text: Opening MapNYC Data Randy Meech - November 2, 2018 We've been analyzing MapNYC all week. You know, with graphics like this: Places Created Start September 24 End October 22 We started with a time-lapse map, continued by encouraging category and neighborhood data collection, explored how we iterated on the product to improve data accuracy, and finally talked about contest dynamics and how they'll inform an eventual protocol. Today? Well, it's been a long week and we're honestly a bit tired. So we're going to take a break from our own analysis and open up the MapNYC dataset for other people to use and analyze. The Fun Part: Data Licensing The Linux Foundation released the Community Data License Agreement in late 2017. It's a new open data license with two versions: "sharing" and "permissive". We're big fans of the work they've done, in particular how they worked with companies to ensure this license made sense to legal teams working with real-world commercial applications. StreetCred will likely use both the permissive and the sharing versions of the CDLA in the future, possibly in a dual-license scenario. For now, we're releasing MapNYC data under the CDLA - Sharing - Version 1.0 license. In a nutshell, this means that you can use this data if you provide attribution to StreetCred and if you contribute back any improvements you make. We're also allowing this data to be used by OpenStreetMap and distributed under the ODbL, although we have no plans to license data under the ODbL ourselves or engage in any imports into OpenStreetMap. We're looking at dual licensing as a key part of a sustainable business model, and believe that open, accessible data will be the best data. We also understand well that companies need permissive licenses to build their products, and those companies should have an incentive to fund real-time POI data. We'll write much more on this in the future. MapNYC Data If you read our earlier post [Improving Data Accuracy](https://www.streetcred.co/blog/2018/10/31/improving-data-accuracy), you'll remember that we iterated rapidly on the MapNYC app, mostly in response to incoming data quality. We ended the contest collecting better data than we started with. It's all in here :) The MapNYC community did a great job creating content from scratch and on location. Data creation required participants to be physically present, and multiple others visited the spot to validate or reject. We were happy to see that a few cases of spam or copyrighted images were rejected quickly by the validation process. Our product is designed to discourage copy/pasted data from copyrighted sources like Google Maps or OpenStreetMap, and that's how we can offer a clear and usable license here. Questions on this? [Let us know](mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com). No external POI sources were used in the MapNYC product, whether in map display or in search results. Geocoding data comes from our very own instance of [Pelias](https://github.com/pelias), which was loaded only with [OpenAddresses](https://openaddresses.io/) and the [Who's on First](https://whosonfirst.org/) gazetteer. Privacy Matters We are not publishing user data, including IDs and create/update timestamps. We're working on ways to share data freshness in the future without compromising user privacy, but for now we're being cautious. Where's the Data? MapNYC data is available here on Github. You might also be interested in our categories project, which we used to create MapNYC data. Enjoy! What's Next? Right now, we're working on what's next after MapNYC. We know we want to improve on existing datasets, and we want to work with partners toward this goal. We learned a lot here and built some encouraging momentum: reach out if you'd like to discuss what we're building or want to work together on better POI data!

Reviews (4.7 out of 5 Grommets)
Purchased for my husband,they trim his toenails well.
fantastic clippers
Very good steel. Very sharp. These are the best clippers I have owned in a very long time. Highly recommend, Easy to hold. Same as the Fingernail Clipper.
Nice quality and large enough for men's tough nails.
Great for tough toenails. Very sharp for easy cutting.
........now really isn't one. These make clipping nails, so much easier. If you're thinking about purchasing, go ahead. I'd be willing to bet that once you experience how the work, you'll be buying more for family and friends.
This really helps in that pesky job of cutting toenails!! Well made product!
As is true with this clipper's smaller counterpart/fingernail clipper, this clipper is extremely easy to use, even for fingers with arthritis. Another A+ product!
This is the best toenail clipper I have ever used. It cuts really well and the grip is very secure. Would highly recommend.
Works well Clips first time

The debate around innovation versus cost reduction is more vital now than ever. Executive search firm Sourcing Solved caught up with Ed Fuchs, who has been in the procurement space for over 25 years. Most recently CPO at Aryzta and now commercialising a revolutionary biotech innovation, Fuchs explains why he believes it shouldn't be a case of choosing between one or the other.
"Innovation isn't a person or a function, it's a mindset. When the business asks a function to embark on innovation, most of the time nothing materialises. Innovation affects the total internal value chain, and everybody involved. It's all about creating the innovation mindset; a way of thinking openly towards the world around you, which sparks new ideas and gives energy to take action.
Procurement people know how to innovate, absolutely, and any process can be trained with the right skills. You do need a slightly creative, entrepreneurial spirit as a background, and if as procurement leaders you can identify these skills and the right mindset then you can start putting different teams together that will allow you to access creative ideas across the value chains.
This creative strain also assists in the standard procurement strategic sourcing activity. If you're going through the initial analysis and you're working out what you want to do with a material group, you need to be quite creative to understand what your strategic levers are inside that category. If you have that creative skill set, you can apply it to a number of areas.
The perception that procurement people are a little too focused on cost isn't a good representation, because procurement's role is to be focused on the business strategy. Strong procurement organisations usually sit inside relatively large consumer group or manufacturing organisations, and they are born out of a need to focus on and consolidate the cost base. The team's first view is to look at cost and then to bring in innovation with the wider business, often leading to the procurement organisation being labelled as cost-focused.
If you have a greenfield site you can build a strategy that's aligned to say 'we'll look at cost to start with, but that will then generate innovation'. Integrating this into the organisation early will allow you to develop savings with innovative thinking, and innovative thinking is a source of cost reduction as well. They go hand in hand and are in sync with each other; you need to view the two as an organic cycle to get the best of both worlds.
I do believe that to achieve both from this cycle, it is about pulling the right teams together, and pulling in the right skills within those teams so they can have the right technical skill set and the right clarity of behaviours. There's a significant amount of work that goes into identifying the right skills. It's important to ask: have you got enough consultants, consultancy collaboration skills and technical skills?
The great thing about the procurement field is that the team dynamics are always changing as the external environment changes. 3D printing, which will result in smaller component order quantities and revolutionise tool costs, and Amazon B2B and similar models, which will simplify corporate indirects are just some examples of these external drivers. As artificial intelligence evolves, research and insights will become commoditised. Such changes in technology will help drive the next cost-reduction and the next innovation in that space."
After completing a strategic review of Aryzta's investment in Groupe Picard, Ed Fuchs left to co-found Folium Food Science, commercialising a bio technology which precisely manages microbial populations. This disruption innovation has the potential to transform food, animal and crop health. Read the full article here

We did it and we'll do it again.
Since the November election, white supremacists, anti-gay activists and hardcore misogynists have come out in the open, trying to reverse the legal gains of the last two decades, and harassing us and attacking us in the flesh.
One group fighting back is Lesbian Avengers 25, using anniversary exhibits about this direct action group to inspire new activism.
The Lesbian Avengers were launched almost 25 years ago during another wave of anti-gay and white supremacist hate. This was their call to action: "LESBIANS! DYKES! GAY WOMEN!… We're wasting our lives being careful. Imagine what your life could be. Aren't you ready to make it happen?"
A multitude responded. Twenty thousand dykes marched on Washington. More than 60 chapters sprang up worldwide, launching Dyke Marches near and far. The Lesbian Avengers also took "out" gay activism where it had never been before — into the heart of heartland politics where they successfully beat back anti-gay legislation in rural Idaho.
Some of their most powerful actions addressed the convergence of hate. In their very first action, the Lesbian Avengers gave out balloons to support the Rainbow Curriculum in New York, designed to teach little kids about diversity. They learned to eat fire to call attention to the firebombing deaths by neo-Nazis of Hattie Mae Cohens and Brian Mock, a black lesbian and her white gay friend. The Avengers even took over a radio station spewing hate against LGBT folks and people of color.
Kelly Cogswell, a coordinator of Lesbian Avengers 25, says her goal in sharing the Avenger story is to prove that it's possible to fight back.
"We've done it before, and we'll do it again. It's not magic. But sustained activism does make a difference. The Avenger story also shows that you have to take a leap of faith. The Lesbian Avengers ended up having 60 groups all over the country, and mobilizing 20,000 dykes in DC for the first Dyke March ever. But the whole thing only happened because six people sat down in a room and said, 'We're doing this, whether anybody joins us or not.'"
The Lesbian Avengers 25 welcomes your support, whether it's participating in the Lesbian Avenger oral history project, coordinating a mobile exhibit in your area, or donating to their current Indiegogo campaign (through Dec. 20). For more information, check out the Lesbian Avengers website, or Lesbian Avengers 25 Facebook page.

When Diane Baker became the director of the Michigan Genetic Counseling Graduate Program three years after it was founded in 1979, genetic counseling was truly in its infancy. In the intervening 30-plus years, the profession has grown to almost 3,000 members who are trained in 31 graduate programs in the Americas.
The success of the University of Michigan graduate programs and the growth of the genetic counseling profession within the University of Michigan Health System, the state of Michigan and nationally, is a direct result of her work and skills as a clinician, educator and innovator. Students in the Human Genetics Counseling Program have an enormous impact on the practice of genetic counseling, including alumni who served as presidents of the National Society of Genetic Counselors, educators, those who developed innovative models of clinical services at nationally recognized hospitals across the Americas, as well as published over 50 peer-reviewed publications between 2007-2010 and authored two editions of the premiere introductory textbook about genetic counseling.
In honor of Diane's contributions to the genetic counseling profession, the Diane Baker Alumni Lecture Award was created, which honors graduates who embody the ambition and ideals of the University of Michigan's Genetic Counseling Program. This annual event provides a unique opportunity for genetic counseling trainees to learn from University of Michigan alumni who are national leaders in genetic counseling.

Rich then bites back and says "he's doing whatever he pleases." He kicks both ladies out of the studio and laughs at them.
In Saigon and Erica Jean's world, they are looking to improve their communication for their son. Saigon comes up with the idea to move Erica into his place. "What better man than to seek romance with the man you have a child with," he tells her. Erica isn't buying it completely and wants Saigon to meet her dad first.
Peter is still creeping around sadly and tracks down K. Michelle to get the scoop on Tara. "While you figuring out what you want, time goes on. Unless they just idiots, no one wants to wait around," K. Michelle advises him. He says he's on it. "In due time," Peter states It seems he has finally made a decision. "My life with Tara is coming to a close and I'm looking forward to a whole new life with Amina," he rambles on. Peter takes Amina to dinner and puts together a special slideshow on a building with photos of their relationship. "I'm willing to go all in with Amina," Peter admits. Well, at least that's what he's saying for now.
In the final scenes, Erica Mena tries to woo Cyn back into her life by buying her new earrings. "I don't want to take from you," Cyn says as she puts the jewelry box down. But Erica really wants her forgiveness. "I don't understand how I can be in this relationship, while you're working with Rich," Cyn explains. She wants Erica to choose and if not, she's moving on.
Erica ticks Rich Dollaz off again because she scheduled a choreography session on his dime without him knowing. They continue arguing about the night before in the studio. She storms out on him for the fifty millionth time.
Tensions are running high with no compromises in sight in any of the situations here. Explosions may just occur on the next episode. Stay tuned.

People say about the DVDs
I find your Musicality DVD as one of the best Salsa DVD I have bought for many reasons. It's clear, efficient, well structured and it's the first and the only one about musicality.
Moana, France
Really great DVD!!! Loved to watch it. In my area people tend to dance this constant high-speed style, full of complicated turns, no matter what the music says... No time for sexy moves, no breaks. As I danced in show-formations before I hear them all, but can't do anything!! So now I keep on advertising your wonderful DVDs to every man I dance with. ;-)) Thanks so much to you and Edie for putting them on the market!
Katrin, Germany
The dvd's are the best I ever have bought. It will certainly help me to be a better dancer. I can't wait to see the whole dvd and try this on the dancefloor ;-)
Navin, Netherlands
I have just finished watching the DVD and I have to say it is superb. I have been looking for something like this for a while now and I'm so glad I have this to help me move on to the next level with my dancing.

I can ask Alexa to play music, give weather update, turn lights on/off, dim lights, wake me at 6am and play Jeopardy's six question. All I had to do was download the app and conect to wifi . The Echo Dot is a great addition to any home and with it being hands free it really comes in useful. I like the easy of use and far-field voice control. This would make a great present or stocking stuffer.

1. Is it necessary to mention the date on the recommendation letters, when getting it signed? Can an un-dated recommendation letter be rejected by a university?
Yes it is required. The date should be mentions.According to my experience some universities do not accept an undated letter.
2. If yes, what is the typical duration for which a dated recommendation letter is deemed valid? For example if I take a recommendation letter in Oct 2007 (for Fall 2008), can I use the same to seek admission in say Fall 2000 session OR will it be treated as "too old"?
My experience is that 9- 6 months should be the duration for the validity of a recommendation letter. You will appreciate this if you realize the purpose of a recommendation letter. Univs want to know about your present work and achievements.
3. The question is arising since I believe that I might be able to get better recommendations at this point of time and also that some of the people (both academic and industrial) from whom I am seeking recommendations might move on to some other places after some time. There is a low probability of them retaining the relevant stationary and whether it will be possible or even correct to get recommendations written on some new stationary (of a institute or company with which I had no association).
One solution can be that you get some recommendations with a current date and get a few without dates. With the permission of recommendation writers you can insert the date as per your requirement.
However the relevance of the recommendation shall again be a question after passage of a time period.
4. Is it ok, if we send the application directly to universities without contacting the profs?
Yes. Professors are contacted to find some compatibility between your area of research interest and the professors area of research. They are primarily contacted for RA.
5. I had sent mails to profs asking them to evaluate my chances of working with them. Some of them haven't replied. Will it be fine, even if I apply for these universities also?
6. Will applying to 4 or 5 universities be fine or shall I app for more universities?
Depends on your University selection and your objectives of getting only admission or admission along with assistantship.
7. What is the best time to app for getting aid?
NOV – JAN after verifying the deadlines. There is no harm in applying early.

YOU GUYS: Kanye West wore a Givenchy skirt last night at the 12-12-12 concert to benefit Sandy Relief. Doesn't sound like such a huge deal, right? Wrong! Here's what eight bloggers, reporters, and VIP Tweeters are saying about it.
@KanyesSkirt already has 1,200 followers on Twitter (really!?), and here's what everyone else is saying:
Cam'ron posted (then later deleted) on Instagram about the look, saying, "Pyrex and a skirt? Sh*t ain't adding up."
Fox News zeroed in on a tweet that said, "Kanye must have swapped suitcases with Kim Kardashian."
Refinery29 points out that the skirt has made plenty of prior stage appearances on the Watch the Throne tour, and it's kinda exempt from criticism because, "It's fashion, and the skirt is kind of Yeezy's thing...and it is Riccardo Tisci, anyways."
@JaredLeto managed to poke fun at himself in his critique of the look:
The Huffington Post says West is "clearly in touch with his feminine side." Ba dum bum.
According to StyleCaster, "the star of the night was arguably Kanye West and his pleated leather Givenchy skirt."
The Today Show seconds that with this headline: "Kanye West's leather skirt steals the show at Sandy benefit."
As for the only opinion that really matters, @KimKardashian, she approved:
What do you gals think of all of this chatter about the skirt? I'm feeling kinda "really!?" about the whole thing...it's just a dude in a skirt! Haven't any of those concert watchers ever seen Marc Jacobs!? Discuss!

They're known for soaring anthems of worship. Filling stadiums with young people across America and raising the name of Jesus in song. But the genre-shaping recordings of Passion Music are accompanied by something else. Passion is intentionally equipping a generation to bless those in need. Whether it's mobilizing support for hurricane relief or sharing the gospel in a closed country like North Korea, where does this heart for blessing others come from?
Passion worship leader, recording artist & songwriter Kristian Stanfill tackles the question.
"From the beginning Passion has always said that worship and justice are two sides of the same coin. At some point, what we are saying has got to be what we live out. If all we're doing is singing the songs, gathering together in arenas, having an experience together – but it doesn't shape or change the way we interact with the world around us, then I'm not real sure what we're doing."
And that's the foundation that leads to some amazing outreach.
"So the goal of Passion is to come together. To gather to worship God. To sing the songs. To experience the power of the presence of God, and be changed by it. But then to go back out to these universities and cities around the world, and do something about the injustice and the brokenness in the places that we are every single day."
"So that has always been a high priority for us at Passion, and that's really come down from Louie and Shelly (Giglio) who really envisioned and pioneered this whole Passion Movement. They've stewarded what God has put in their hands very well. But it's coming down from them. It's the same way at Passion City Church. We want to engage our neighborhood here in Atlanta. Not just the building where we gather – but we really want to affect change in our city."
On the Road with Kristian Stanfill
Kristian Stanfill is a recording artist and worship leader with Passion Music. Their latest album – Whole Heart – is now out on digital and physical copy. He's also worship pastor at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

Treatment stages:
- In-office teeth whitening involves precise applications of prescription strength whitening gel.
- Take-home teeth whitening requires a set of custom made trays to fit your teeth.
- Factors such as smoking, poor oral hygiene and diet can affect the longevity of the results.
Crowns are needed when a tooth has a significant amount of structural damage and a normal filling would not be adequate.
Treatment stages:
- Heavily filled teeth that have broken or that are likely to break in the near future.
- Teeth with old amalgam fillings often crack around the filling causing pain when chewing.

Carol & Mickey took the time to get to know us and truly understand what we were looking for in a new house. Always there for us with options, they were able to uncover 'our diamond in the rough' and stayed with us to help navigate the, at times confusing process. We love our new home and couldn't have done it without them.
— Dion & Sal
On April 20, 2010, we bought our first home- a very daunting experience for many, but for us it was easy…..we had Carol and Mickey as our realtors! Professional, experienced, and always available, they were able to navigate us through the complicated process of buying a new home effortlessly. Most important, they listened- they got to know what we really desired, and in fact, picked what ended up being our dream home!!!
— Michelle & Lori
Mickey and Carol provide 5-Star Service *****. They listened to what I wanted and showed me houses that matched my requirements. I am very happy with the house I bought! Throughout the buying process they were always professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and personable. It was obvious that they knew the Asbury Park and surrounding areas. I was moving in from another state and they went the extra miles of helping me get acclimated to the area even after I bought the house. I will always use them for my real estate needs and strongly recommend them to anyone who wants to be assured that he is getting the best value for his money.
— Linda Greene
"It took nearly two years, but Mickey stuck with us while we searched for a retirement property in Asbury Park. We live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so Mickey had to put up with our on-again, off-again search whenever we had the opportunity to visit the east coast. She never gave up on us, braving record-breaking heat and cold to show us innumerable properties. When we finally found our dream home, Carol joined Mickey to guide us step by step through the complexity of a long-distance purchasing process. They continue to help us cope with the ongoing demands of ownership in Asbury Park. We needed attention above and beyond the typical client, and Mickey and Carol always came through."
— Susan And Rich
"Carol & Mickey are the perfect realtors for anyone looking to make a first time purchase (or even 2nd or 3rd) in Asbury Park. They are long time residents of the area and know the history of the buildings and neighborhoods well. They provide excellent advice so that you can make educated decisions about which area and unit or house would be right for your needs and desires. The buying process can be very overwhelming but Carol & Mickey helped us navigate through or around every road block or hurdle in the process, successfully advocating for us with attorneys, mortgage brokers, bankers and other real estate brokers. They are honest and straight forward and even without asking provided us with break downs of all the costs involved in our purchase with comparisons of the different options we were considering. They not only became trusted brokers for us but also good friends. With their invaluable help, we found our perfect home by the shore."
— Brent & Joe
"Carol and Mickey are the 'A-Team'!! In a bad housing market, they worked with us endlessly to get our condo sold. They spent endless hours with us and were always available whenever it needed to be seen. They worked well with the town and had everything covered for us. When work sent us to Germany before the sale, they completed everything for us, it was very comforting for us to know they were there in our corner. They are a tremendous asset to the community, with long standing recognition and great reputations. They are truly a 'shore thing', you can't go wrong with this team, we love them!

Collective Improvisation reconstructs some of the most revolutionary ideas and concepts about theatre, art and life as they have been advanced by the pioneers of modern theatre improvisation, and shows how they offer an alternative approach to filmmaking and understanding film. Moreover, traversing the boundaries between theatre and film, as well as social and political thought, the author critically assesses impro as a cultural phenomenon, an artistic practice, an aesthetic principle and a political stance that challenges the ways in which we understand being and acting together.

It's a few days late for Earth Day, but the legendary Portland bookstore Powell's made this graphic available so that readers can share their passion for recycling used books this week. Locally there is no better way to exercise this passion than by attending the Greater St. Louis Book Fair, which starts today with $10 admission from 4-10 pm. The fair then becomes free for the rest of the weekend, with a half-price day on Sunday and a day for certified 501(c)3 nonprofits on Monday. Of course, when it comes to sharing books, your public library cannot be topped, but the GSLBF is a regionally significant celebration of the printed word that benefits a host of educational and literacy nonprofits. Have fun treasure-hunting this weekend.
Speaking of recycling, Scribbler gladly re-offers its own primer to the weekend's activities: last year's post The Stages of the St. Louis Book Fair.

Today's prompt is simple:
What did you do for New Years?
Every year we have rather large party. We did the same this year, but had horrible snow so not too many people came. It was still lots of fun and now we have way too many left overs! It was actually kind of nice to not have so many people over as sometimes it can get kind of hectic. Katie came and she & my brother were practically bouncing off the walls the entire time.
So I'm going to be linking up with Kristen and Lisa for the rest of the month and you can feel free to join in here!

New Delhi: Gagan Gaonkar, a 13-year-old from Udupi, Karnataka, won the fifth season of "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs", it was announced in the finale episode of Zee TV's singing reality TV show on Saturday. He says he wants to playback for superstar Shah Rukh Khan someday.
Apart from the L'il Champs trophy, the talented boy, who struck a chord with his melodious voice, also took home a Nissan Sunny car.
Elated by the victory, Gagan dedicated his award to his "parents" and "audience".
"I'm very happy and thankful to the audience for choosing me as the winner. It was a memorable journey. I would like to dedicate this win to my parents and to those who voted for me throughout the season," Gagan told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"My parents have always encouraged me and have stood by my side. Ever since I joined the show, I just had one thing in my mind that I'll learn a lot and that would help me make a better future for myself," he said.
Gagan was pitted against Keshav Tyohar, Ridham Kalyan, Aishwarya Saha and Arunita Kanjilal. Keshav and Aishwarya were the first and the second runner-up respectively.
The first runner-up took home a cash prize of Rs.300,000, while the second runner-up received Rs.200,000. Zee Music will also launch an album with the top five finalists. One lucky finalist will also get a Bollywood break. However, the name of the finalist, who will get that chance, is yet to be locked and announced.
In the finale episode, Gagan performed on songs like "Main toh superman", "Khali peeli rokne ka nahi" and "Jumme ki raat", which made the audience dance to his tunes.
The multi-faceted boy, whose father Gopal Krishna Gaonkar is a professor and mother Girija Hegde Gaonkar a lecturer, has been taking singing classes since the last seven years. He has also appeared in the Kannada film "Noorondu Bagilu".
Asked how he managed studies with the show, Gagan said: "I got lot of support from my teachers and friends. So thankfully, I didn't missed out on studies. But now I'll concentrate more on it. I'll also continue my singing lessons. Both will go hand in hand."
He has his future plans quite set.
"I wish to pursue audio engineering and want to become a music composer. I want to assist one of the music composers in the industry in near future. Also, I would love to do playback singing for Shah Rukh Khan-ji. It will be a lifetime opportunity for me. It's my dream to meet him once in my life."
The fifth season of the show was judged by singers Shaan and Monali Thakur with noted singer Alka Yagnik as 'Maha Guru'. It was hosted by Aditya Narayan.
In the show, which went on air on December 27, contestants were divided into two groups with two captains -- Monali and Shaan.
The highlight of the finale episode was the coming together of singers Sonu Nigam, Shaan and Aditya, for a performance. They brought the house down with their power-packed performance on a medley of chartbuster songs like "Tattad tattad", "Koi kahe", "All izz well" and then gave a grand culmination to their act by singing the original title track of the show "Sa Re Ga Ma Pa".

Press Releases
Alexander Votes to Fund a New Middle School, Vehicle Maintenance Shop, Special Operations Training Facilities at Fort Campbell
Posted on June 7, 2018
WASHINGTON, D.C., June 7, 2018 – United States Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today said the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a bill that includes funding for five military construction projects in Tennessee.
"In March, I voted for an appropriations bill that gave the largest year-to-year increase in military funding in 15 years. This appropriations bill continues that process by investing in the 2.3 million men and women serving in the Armed Forces and continues to care for our nation's 20 million veterans. It also builds on the record funding Congress provided and President Trump signed into law earlier this year."
Alexander continued: "This year's funding legislation provides $97.1 billion to support military construction projects across the country – including $114.3 million for five construction projects in Tennessee. The funding in this bill will finish the construction of the new Vehicle Maintenance Shop, begin construction on a new middle school, and support two Special Operations training facilities, and construct a new medical support operations center at Fort Campbell. This bill also provides $20 million to continue an existing Department of Energy and Veterans Affairs program that allows the use of Oak Ridge National Laboratory's supercomputer capabilities to provide better care for our veterans."
The Fiscal Year 2019 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill provides:
- $114.3 million for five military construction projects in Tennessee that were included in the Administration's FY19 budget request:
- Construction of a new Vehicle Maintenance Shop, Fort Campbell
- Construction of a new Middle School in Fort Campbell
- Construction of a new Special Operations Air & Ground Integrated Firing Range Facility
- Construction of Logistics Support Operations Facility
- Construction of a new Multi-use Helicopter Training Facility
- $150 million for the construction of state veteran's homes, which is equal to the President's budget request and $40 million above FY2018.
- $27 million to expand the Department of Energy and Veterans Affairs Administration' cohort CHAMP-MVP, which leverages the high-performance computers in our national labs to provide better care for our nation's veterans.
- $3 billion to hire staff to reduce the wait time and backlog of disability appeals.
- $109.1 billion in mandatory funding for veteran disability compensation programs that benefit 4.9 million veterans and 432,000 surviving spouses, provide education benefits to nearly one million veterans, guarantee home loans for nearly 519,000 veterans, and employment training for more than 149,00 veterans.
Today, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved the Fiscal Year 2019 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill, which is consistent with the spending limits included in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 approved by Congress, and signed by President Trump, in February. The legislation is now ready for consideration by the full Senate.
