<br />I started this blog with the intention of putting up interesting questions on a regular basis.
<br />I wanted to encourage and ensure maximum participation and interaction. But in the last couple of months it became impossible for me to post any new questions for a number of reasons. In fact I was so caught up that I thought of shutting down the blog altogether. I would prefer not to waste everyone's time by going into details. Rest assured I am going to be back and posting regularly from <span style="font-weight: bold;"><u>SEP 1 2011</u></span>. My apologies for such a long break. Any suggestions, advice, criticism is most welcome as always. I would appreciate it if we continue from where we left off and I hope I can bring something new, interesting and unique to the blog. Watch this space for more.
<br />Cheers and happy quizzing to all!!

She is one of the eighty-two forensic anthropologists certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology and is on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Her schedule also involves a number of speaking engagements around the world.</div><br />
<div align="justify"></div><br />
<div align="justify">She has written a number of books. In addition to technical books, she has written thirteen novels to date, which have been translated into 30 languages.The fictional heroine in her novels, 'Y', is also a forensic anthropologist. Y's lifestyle closely mimics that of her creator, with X stating that Y and she "have the same CV" and that "Some of Y's personality traits are also mine", but there are differences in their personal lives such as the character's alcoholism. A good portion of the novels are based on real life science, and X has stated that she is "fastidiously conscientious about getting the science right".Here is one of her best known works.<br />

There Daood attended a preparatory boy's high school for the military. In 1977, when the Government of Pakistan was overthrown in a coup, he returned to America with his mother and grew up over the bar that his mother owned in Philadelphia. In 1985, he married a Pennsylvania State Universuty student, but got divorced in 1987 due to cultural conflicts. How is he better known today?
