History
The History of Wardha dates back to prehistoric period. It has a unique place in the Indian Natural History, since the Ostrich egg-shell has been found at Sindi (Railway) in Wardha district. It was included in the empire of Mauryas, Sungas, Satavahanas and Vakatakas Pravarpur, modern Pavnar was once the capital of the Vakataka dynasty. Vakatakas were contemporary of Imperial Guptas. The daughter of Chandragupta II (Vikramaditya) was married with Vakataka ruler Rudrasena. The period of Vakatakas was 2nd to 5th C.A.D. and their empire stretches from Arabian sea in west to Bay of Bengal in east, Narmada river in north to Krishna-Godavari delta in south.
Later on, Wardha was ruled by Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Yadavas, Delhi Sultanate, Bahamani Sultanate, Muslim ruler of Berar, Gonds and Maratha. Raja Buland Shaha of Gonds, Raghuji of Bhonsale were the prominent rulers in Medieval period. Nearby 1850’s Wardha, (then a part of Nagpur) fell into the hands of British. They included Wardha in the Central Provenance. Wardha is a sister city for Sevagram, and both were used as major centers for the Indian Independence Movement, especially as headquarters for an annual meet of the Indian National Congress in 1934, and Mahatma Gandhi’s Ashram.
The existing Wardha district was part of Nagpur district till 1862. Further it was separated for convenient administrative purpose and Kawatha near Pulgaon was the district Head quarter. In the year 1866, the district headquarter moved at Palakwadi village which is the existing place and then Wardha city is habited there. In Wardha there is one village called Pavanar where Acharya Vinoba Bhave lived.
Recently this district has been in news because of a number of suicides that have been committed by the farmers owing to the agricultural loans they can not repay, with the major reasons being bad crops, droughts and lack of irrigation facilities in the region. The Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh visited this district, review the situation and announced the economic help package for farmers.

The Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten (help·info) or OpenVLD (Flemish Liberals and Democrats) is a Flemish liberal party, created in 1992 from the former Party for Freedom and Progress (PVV) and a few other politicians from other parties. The party has been part of the government continuously since 1999; it led the government for three cabinets under Guy Verhofstadt from 1999 until March 2008. It most recently formed the Federal Government from June 2003 through 2007 with the cartel SP.a-Spirit, the Walloon Socialist Party (PS) and the liberal Reformist Movement (MR). In the Flemish Parliament the VLD formed a coalition government with SP.a-Spirit and Christian Democratic and Flemish (CD&V) after the 2004 regional election. Currently, VLD is a member of the Leterme I Government formed on 22 March 2008.
Ideologically, the VLD started as a right-wing, somewhat Thatcherite party under its founder, Guy Verhofstadt. On economic issues the VLD rapidly became more centrist and gave up much of its free-market approach, partly under the influence of Verhofstadt’s political scientist brother Dirk Verhofstadt. Party chairman Bart Somers called in November 2006 for a “revolution” within the party, saying that “a liberal party,” like the VLD, “can only be progressive and social.”
From 2000 to 2004, during the second period of its participation in the Belgian federal government and under Belgian prime-minister Guy Verhofstadt, the VLD allegedly lost most of its ideological appeal. Several of its thinkers such as (former member) Boudewijn Bouckaert, president of Nova Civitas, heavily criticised the party. Many others resent the priority it has placed on the ‘Belgian compromise’, enabling the Walloon Socialist Party to gain a dominant position in the formulation of Belgian government policy.
In 2004 the VLD teamed up with the minoritary liberal party Vivant for both the Flemish and European elections. VLD-Vivant lost the elections to arch rivals CD&V and Vlaams Blok. The VLD fell from second to third place among the Flemish political parties, slipping narrowly behind the SP.a-Spirit cartel. Internal feuds, the support for electoral rights for immigrants and an unsuccessful economic policy were seen as the main reasons for its election defeat.
On 19 June 2004 the VLD successfully negotiated a regional coalition government with CD&V/N-VA, the Christian democrats and moderate nationalists, and with the social democratic SP.a-Spirit. In a federal cabinet reshuffle in July 2004, VLD chairman Karel De Gucht replaced Louis Michel (MR) as minister for Foreign Affairs. Former Flemish Minister-President Bart Somers is the new party chairman.

2007 elections
For the 2007 elections, the VLD participated in a cartel with Vivant and Liberal Appeal, under the name Open Vld. In the 10 June 2007 general elections, Open VLD won 18 out of 150 seats in the Chamber of Representatives and 5 out of 40 seats in the Senate.
History
As such the liberal party is the oldest political party of Belgium. In 1846, Walthère Frère-Orban succeeded in creating a political program which could unite several liberal groups into one party. Before 1960, the Liberal Party of Belgium was barely organised. The school pact of 1958, as a result of which the most important argument for the traditional anti-clericalism was removed, gave the necessary impetus for a thorough renewal. During the liberal party congress of 1961, the Liberal Party was reformed into the bilingual PVV-PLP Partij voor Vrijheid en Vooruitgang/Parti de la Liberté et du Progrés (Party for Freedom and Progress), and Omer Vanaudenhove became the chairman of the new party. The new liberal party, which struggled with an anti-clerical image, opened its doors for believers, but wasn’t too concerned about the situation of the employees and primarily defended the interests of employers.
In the late 1960s and the early 1970s, the tensions between the different communities in Belgium rose and there were disagreements within the liberal movement as well. In 1972, the unitary PVV/PLP was split up in a Flemish and a Francophone party. On Flemish side, under the guidance of Frans Grootjans, Herman Vanderpoorten and Willy De Clercq, the PVV was created, on Walloon side Milou Jeunehomme became the head of the PLP and Brussels got its own but totally disintegrated liberal party landscape. Willy De Clercq became the first chairman of the independent Partij voor Vrijheid en Vooruitgang (PVV), which is Dutch for “Party of Freedom and Progress”. He, together with Frans Grootjans and Herman Vanderpoorten, set out the lines for the new party. This reform was coupled an Ethical Congress, on which the PVV adopted very progressive and tolerant stances regarding abortion, euthanasia, adultery, homosexuality and gender equality.
In 1982, the 29-year-old reformer Guy Verhofstadt became the chairman of the party, and even was Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Budget from 1986 to 1988. Annemie Neyts succeeded him as chairman, becoming the first female party chairman. In 1989, Verhofstadt once more became the chairman of the PVV, after his party had been condemned to the opposition by the CVP in 1987.
In 1992, the PVV was reformed into the Vlaamse Liberalen en Democraten or VLD under the impulse of Verhofstadt. Although the VLD was the successor of the PVV, many politicians with democratic nationalist or socialist roots joined the new party. Notable examples are Jaak Gabriëls, then president of the Volksunie, and Hugo Coveliers. From the early 1990s, the VLD advanced in every election, only to get in government following the 1999 general election when the VLD became the largest party. Guy Verhofstadt became Prime Minister and Patrick Dewael became Minister-President of Flanders. They were both at the head of a coalition of liberals, socialists and greens.
Europe
The party is fairly pro-European, and holds three seats in the European Parliament, where it sits as a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (ALDE) Group. Then-current VLD prime minister Guy Verhofstadt was rejected as a candidate for the presidency of the European Commission in June 2004.

In mathematics, more specifically differential topology, a local diffeomorphism is intuitively a function between smooth manifolds that preserves the local differentiable structure. The formal definition of a local diffeomorphism is given below.

Formal definition
Let X and Y be differentiable manifolds. A function, is a local diffeomorphism, if for every point x in X, there exists an open set U containing x, such that f(U) is open in Y and is a diffeomorphism.
Discussion
For instance, even though all manifolds look locally the same (as Rn for some n) in the topological sense, it is natural to ask whether their differentiable structures behave in the same manner locally. For example, one can impose two differentdifferentiable structures on R that make R into a differentiable manifold, but both structures are not locally diffeomorphic (see below). Note also that although local diffeomorphisms preserve differentiable structure locally, one must be able to “patch up” these (local) diffeomorphisms to ensure that the domain is the entire (smooth) manifold. For example, there can be no local diffeomorphism from the 2-sphere to Euclidean two-space although they do indeed have the same local differentiable structure. This is because all local diffeomorphisms are continuous, the continuous image of a compact space is compact, the sphere is compact whereas Euclidean 2-space is not.
Properties
Every local diffeomorphism is also a local homeomorphism and therefore an open map.
A diffeomorphism is a bijective local diffeomorphism.
According to the inverse function theorem, a smooth map f : M ? N is a local diffeomorphism if and only if the derivative Dfp : TpM ? Tf(p)N is a linear isomorphism for all points p in M. Note that this implies that M and N must have the same dimension.

Vavasor (or Vavasour) Powell (1617 - October 27, 1670), was a Welsh Nonconformist Puritan preacher, evangelist, church leader and writer.
Life
He was born in Knucklas, Radnorshire and was educated at Jesus College, Oxford. He returned to Wales as a schoolmaster (1638-9) during which time he was converted to the Puritan understanding of the Gospel of Jesus Christ under the preaching of the Puritan Walter Cradock and through the writings of Richard Sibbs (1577-1635) and William Perkins (1558-1602). In about 1639 he became an itinerant preacher and for preaching in various parts of Wales he was twice arrested. In 1640, however, he was not punished and during the Civil War he preached in and around London.
On the 26th December 1641 he was teaching the word of God in Llanyrne Parish Church in Ross when he was forcibly removed by Hugh Lloyd and twelve armed men and imprisoned.In 1646, when Parliament’s victory was certain, Powell returned to Wales having received a “certificate of character” from the Westminster Assembly, although he had refused to be ordained by the Presbyterians. With a salary granted to him by parliament he resumed his itinerant preaching in Wales.
In 1650 Parliament appointed a commission for the better propagation and preaching of the gospel in Wales with Powell acting as one of the principal advisers of this body. For three years he was actively employed in removing from their parishes those ministers whom he regarded as incompetent. In 1653 he returned to London to preach at St Ann Blackfriars after the death of their pastor, William Gouge. Having denounced Cromwell for accepting the office of Lord Protector, he was imprisoned.
At the Restoration in 1660 he was arrested for preaching, after a short period of freedom he was once again seized and incarcerated, remaining in prison for seven years. He was set free in 1667, however, in the following year he was again imprisoned and was in custody until his death on 27 October 1670. Powell is buried at Bunhill Fields cemetery.
Assessment
Powell wrote eleven books and some hymns but his chief gifts were those of a preacher. During his ministry he preached before the Lord Mayor of London (1649), Parliament (1650) and as an ardent defender of Calvinism held disputations with popular Arminians of his day.
While remaining a relatively minor figure in seventeenth-century Puritan history since his death, Powell’s place in the Puritan movement has been reassessed in recent years. The twentieth-century Welsh theologian R. Tudur Jones wrote of Powell:
Vavasor Powell deserves better of historians than to be dismissed as a millenarian enthusiast. In many ways, Powell was the most striking personality amongst the Welsh Puritans.

Darren Julius Garvey Sammy (born December 20, 1983 in Micoud, St. Lucia) is a West Indian cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a medium-fast bowler.
Sammy was the first international cricketer to emerge from St. Lucia, winning his first one-day cap during the 2004 NatWest Series against New Zealand at the Rose Bowl, although the match was abandoned without a ball having been bowled. He was called into the squad for the ICC Champions trophy in September 2004 in place of Jermaine Lawson and played against Bangladesh, when he bowled 6 overs and took his first ODI (One-day International) wicket.
Darren was selected for the West Indies tour of England in 2007 following a dismal performance by the team in the ICC World Cup held in the West Indies. Darren is no stranger to British conditions having spent time there playing at Lord’s with the MCC staff. He was awarded his first Test cap in the Third Test match at Old Trafford on 7 June 2007. He claimed his first Test wicket when he dismissed Alastair Cook caught by Dwayne Bravo. In the second innings Sammy returned the second best figures ever for a West Indies bowler on debut, (7-66) which included three wickets in five balls.
In 2009 he led the West Indies side for one match on their tour of England in the absence of experienced players like Chris Gayle and Ramnaresh Sarwan. He also became Vice captain of the West Indies against Bangladesh with Floyd Reifer as captain, when most of the regular players went on strike.He now playes for the West Indies in the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa.
