Valentina Tareshkova was born on 6 March 1937 in Maslennikovo, a small town in the Yaroslavl region of the former USSR. Her father, a tractor driver, was killed in action during World War II. Her mother, Elena Fedorovna, worked in a textile factory.
Valentina began school in 1945 in Yaroslavl at the age of eight. In 1953, she left school and began working, but continued her education by following a correspondence course. By 1961, she had gained a certificate in textile technology.
From an early age, Valentina was interested in parachute jumping and it was the interest that led to her career as a cosmonaut. She made her first parachute jump under the guidance of the local Aviation Club in Yaroslavl at the age of 22, on 21 May 1959.
Soon after she set up the Textile Mill Workers’ Parachute Club and became its first committee leader. She was one of five women selected as cosmonaut candidates on 16 February 1962. All five underwent the complete course of training, including weightless flights, parachute jumps, isolation tests and centrifuge tests, While Valentina excelled in the physical training, she had more difficulty with rocket theory and spacecraft engineering. The training included 120 parachute jumps and pilot training with jet fighters.
On 14 June 1963, the rocket Vostok 5 was launched with cosmonauts Valeri Bykovsky aboard, and, two days later, Valentina Tareshkova became the first woman in space aboard Vostok 6. The Russian space federation was unhappy with Tereshkova’s performance and she was not permitted to take manual control of the spacecraft as had been planned. However, she completed three days in space, more than the flight time of all the American astronauts put together.
Tareshkova married Andrian Nikolayev, the only bachelor cosmonaut to have flown in space, on 3 November 1963, and, on 8 June 1964, Valentina gave birth to a daughter, Elena Andrianovna, who later went on to become a doctor. But the marriage did not last long and the space family fell apart.

Once upon a time, there lived a father and his six sons. Their mother had passed away many years ago. The six sons could not get along with one another. They always quarrel with each other. The father tried very hard to unite them, but always failed.
Then, one day, he came up with an idea. He called all his six sons together and showed them a bundle of sticks. He asked each of them to break the bundle in turn. Each of them tried with all his strength, but none of them could even bend the bundle. Then, the father untied the bundle and separated the sticks. He gave a stick to each of his sons. “Now, try breaking it”, he said. Each of them broke his stick with ease.
The father then said, “My dear sons, if you remain united, you will be as strong as this bundle of sticks. But if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as you have broken the stick. Remember, always stick together.”

Ray or Rayfish or mostly known as
Stingray are carnivorous fish that belong to superorder of Batoidea. They are
the close relatives of the Sharks within the same group of Cartilaginous
fish. There are 26 families of rays in the world with more than 600 species
in total. Most of them live in the ocean and only a few of them live in
freshwater, brackish bays or estuaries.
Rays or sometimes called as
batoids have a large and flat body. Their body is boneless and very elastic.
Their skeleton is made of cartilage (a tough and elastic materials). Each
species of Rayfish have a different body shape. Their skeleton is located in
the middle of their body where their head and tail are inline with it. Their
eyes are located on top of the head. They have two large pectoral fins that
are fused to the head and are located on each side of the body. Some of them
look like a bird flying with two large wings when they are swimming. Their
dorsal skin also vary among species of Rayfish. Some of them are: black,
brown, pale green with blue spots, dark red with white spots, tiger skin
pattern and many more. The color of their bottom side is white. This is where
their mouth is located.
Most of
them perform an ambush to catch the prey. They usually find a good place to
hide such as sand, pebbles, coral or algae that look like their skin pattern
and then wait until an animal like squid, fish, snail or shrimp is passing
by. At this moment they will make a swift move and catch the prey. Most of
them have one or more venomous stingers on their tail to protect themselves
from any threat.
