दिल्ली पुलिस की एक महिला हेड कॉन्स्टेबल ने ऐसा काम किया है, जिसने कई परिवारों के चेहरों पर फिर से मुस्कान लौटा दी है. दक्षिण-पूर्वी जिले के जैतपुर थाने में तैनात महिला हेड कॉन्स्टेबल चंचल ने महज 12 महीनों में 119 लापता बच्चों को तलाश कर उनके परिवारों तक पहुंचाया है. इसके अलावा उन्होंने 16 अन्य लापता लोगों को भी खोज निकाला है.

This is why we call it the “Pilot In Command”
This happened in the same vicinity where the ill-fated Lear Jet hit the storm cell.
JetBlue pilot en route from Fort Lauderdale to Austin says to ATC:
“So you're gonna make us go through a, uh, severe thunderstorm?”
The captain then commanded the situation and overrode the ATC:
“So we declare an emergency, making a left turn heading 260 for severe weather avoidance.”
Sometimes piloting demands a specific set of traits - decisiveness, independent judgment, and the backbone to reject an instruction when it doesn’t feel right.
Refusing the assigned heading showed exactly that kind of assertive leadership.
Whoever is pilot monitoring must make these tough calls but ultimately, the captain is the final authority and ultimately accountable for every soul on board.

On this day 32 years ago, in 1994, Nirvana's "MTV Unplugged in New York" was released.
It is considered the greatest Unplugged performance ever made.

Fim de uma era. Hoje, a Jeppesen imprimiu sua última carta do *Airway Manual*. Sei que muitos de vocês, de uma forma ou de outra, passaram incontáveis horas realizando revisões. Agora, tudo é feito de forma eletrônica por meio do nosso incrível EFB, o FDPro.

After 92 years, Jeppesen has ceased producing paper charts. All remaining subscribers will be credited their remaining subscription balances. Truly an end of an era that I never imagined would happen.

Ejection from a Su-25 through the eyes of a pilot.
This is probably the first time in history that such footage of an ejection has been filmed in combat conditions, and at an extremely low altitude.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is 2022 footage of a Russian Su-25 hitting a power line during a training flight near Belgorod, Russia, not combat. Released October 2022 by Fighterbomber.

Having a train that takes you directly to the airport is genuinely one of the top 10 things a city can offer. No expensive taxis, no sitting in traffic, no begging someone to drop you off. Just get on the train and arrive at the airport. Every major city should have this.

McDonald’s actually does have best-tasting Coke in the world and here a few reasons:
▫️Coca-Cola ships Coke/Diet Coke syrup to McDonald’s in specially-designed 75 gallon stainless steel containers and pumped directly into store machines.
▫️ Metal preserves taste better than plastic bags, which is how every other customers gets their syrup (Coca-Cola reps are also forbidden from selling syrup at a lower cost than what McDonald’s pays).
▫️Syrup machines frequently tweaked and calibrated to ensure taste is consistently strong since McDonald’s pours drinks with certain amount of ice which dilutes when melts.
▫️McDonald’s has specialized water filtration system at every location (tastes better) and cooling system (drink always consistently same cold temperature and cooler water holds more carbonation aka fizz)
Coca-Cola sends employees to do frequent quality checks at McDonald’s locations.
The McDonald’s and Coca-Cola partnership dates back to 1955 and goes deep.
McDonald’s is the largest restaurant partner ($1B+ a year) and only company within Coca-Cola that has its own division. When Coca-Cola reps are asked about the largest markets, they often say “US, Japan, Germany and McDonald’s.”
