The map "Harbor" is exactly what its name says, a harbor. Although most of the map is mountainous and has nothing to do with a harbor, the majority of the fighting and action happens over the water. This is becuase of the fact that it is not only the easiest way to get to the enemy's base, but it also has a plethora of land targets such as AA guns and ships.

Afterwards, Qing Shui naturally prepared a sumptuous dinner. The girl was praising the food while she stuffed her face. She was the type that had a way with words to get on the good side of people. Qing Shui could tell that the young girl was spoiled by the entire family.
Qing Shui made many dishes and left them many items. Since he did not have much to do, he used his spare time to conduct acupuncture to nurture the other's constitution a bit. This way, they could enforce their foundation which could bring long-term benefits to their strength.
Qing Shui even helped the woman. Though on the surface her strength looked like it was similar to Qing Shui's, she probably would receive the inheritance from the old man, just like Yan Zhongyue. The Battle God Clan was more than ordinary.
This type of Battle God Inheritance, legend says that it was similar to the one Qing Shui had received. At the end, there could only be one person who would receive this inheritance. As expected, this woman was the one who would receive it due to her bloodline.
Typically, inheritance occurs when the person's lifespan was coming to an end or when the person received a critical injury, buy it could also happen out of normal circumstances. However, once the person passed on their inheritance, there could be a loss in the strength that was being passed on. If the old man passed the Battle God Inheritance to the woman right now, the Battle God Technique's power would be halved and this was something that could not be recovered.
A martial artist's martial realm was far too important. If the realm was lost, then there would be no strength. If they met another martial artist that was in the similar high-ranking realm, the opposition could easily strike them down. Battle techniques required a higher level in order for its power to increase.
Yan Zhongyue had gotten help from Qing Shui on reconstituting his foundation. Now, Yan Zhongyue's strength was similar to the woman's. He had also learned the same Dragon Sabre Battle God ability and battle techniques that the woman knew. The only difference was that he did not receive the old man's inheritance.
Some things were very difficult to cultivate to a high level without an inheritance.
Now that the old man's lifespan increased by quite a bit, he would naturally be not required to pass on his inheritance early. After all, they were young and they required the support of the old man. If it had been the situation from before, the old man would need to pass his inheritance within a couple years since he only had less than ten years of lifespan left.
With the increase in the old man's lifespan, everyone was ecstatic. The old man was the family's pillar and was also the pillar of the Great Yan Dynasty. The presence of a formidable martial artist acted as a form of intimidation.
With the old man around, Qing Shui felt more relaxed. Without the old man, he would feel a strong sense of danger. Even though he still could not afford to lower his guard right now, he was more relaxed than he had been before. He knew that the old man would keep his eye on the movements of the Soaring Dragon Organization's Patriarch.
Today, Qing Shui decided to stay in for the night and would return home tomorrow. The old man had the woman take out several things for Qing Shui, and he did not hesitate. He saw that most of them were medicinal herbs that have aged, some of them at least 10,000 years old.
Once the old man knew that Qing Shui was an Alchemist and a Doctor, he naturally knew that the most valuable things to him were medicinal herbs. However, he doesn't need just any medicinal herbs, those that were not aged at least 10,000 years would not interest Qing Shui.
At night, Qing Shui did not disturb Yan Zhongyue from his family gathering. Instead, he went into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
As he sorted the large number of medicinal herbs given to him by the old man, Qing Shui could identify that many of them were herbs for refining the Yang Pill, Nine Revolution Golden Pellet, and Fortune Pellet. Moreover, their age was perfectly suited for refinement. The only thing was, Qing Shui had not yet collected all of the required herbs to create the pellets. It would still require some time before he could collect all of the required herbs.
In terms of tempering treasures, some of the treasures owned by Qing Shui have already lost their effect. However, he was not in a rush since the process wasn't one that could be rushed. Slow and steady wins the race and eventually, he would be successful. At that time, his beast's strength would also double.
Without much to do, Qing Shui cultivated the Divine Truth Hearing Technique!
Cultivating this technique was not too difficult but getting it perfected was not an easy task. Once Qing Shui started his cultivation, he would not feel tired. When he was hungry, he would eat. When he was sleepy, he would sleep. Unknowingly, two months within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal had passed.
Qing Shui's eyes sparkled as he sighed. In his previous life, he knew that listening skills had good utility. The strongest martial artists could use their hearing to determine positions. Now, Qing Shui could say that those skills were weaker in comparison to the Divine Truth Hearing Technique.
Although he had only recently started getting the hang of it, he could hear sounds from anywhere within 100 li. Combining this ability with spiritual sense, hearing anything was absolutely easy. However, this did not excite Qing Shui.
What excited Qing Shui was how he could utilize this ability on the battlefield. He could definitely hear and determine which area the enemy would attack, how much speed they had, and how big the attack was. Using this knowledge, he could prepare a response in advance.
In fact, he should have thought about this from the beginning. Since humans' senses included listening, it was of utmost importance. It could be more accurate than sight, since the image before the eyes may not always be real, but the sounds they listened to was absolutely real. Even in the False God Realm of martial artists, there were no attacks that did not make a sound. A normal person's ear may not be able to hear it, but those who cultivated the Divine Truth Hearing Technique would definitely be able to hear it.
The Ancient Divine Shrine's abilities would not be awful. However, he had originally never thought of how useful it could be in the past. He started to think about another ability, the Duo Cultivation Technique. As he started to rest, he took it out and had a look.
As he remembered the time when the Demon Lord was frightened when she first saw this nameless ability, he couldn't help but laugh. He thought he should quickly return and then find a way for her to create a branch in the Great Yan Dynasty. This way, they would be able to take the fight to the Justice Alliance that resided within the Soaring Dragon Continent.
The Soaring Dragon Organization appeared to be the strongest force on the surface, but he did not know if there were any formidable enemies in the woman's personal foes. Soon, they will eliminate the Patriarch of the Soaring Dragon Organization, then they could quickly disassemble the forces within the Soaring Dragon Organization.
Qing Shui recollected his thoughts and focused on the cultivation method of the nameless ability's. This was a level up on the previous nameless ability that he had gotten in the past, it almost seemed like it was the next half of the book.
The ability that was described by this book could allow Duo Cultivating couples to not only increase in strength by a lot but also make their strength more succinct. It could also open up many unbeknownst and miraculous acupoints and increase their Essence Force. Essence was the basis of a person, those who were full of Essence Energy were strong in every way. Even the ordinary people from Qing Shui's previous life knew about the importance of being full of Essence Energy. A martial artist had a high requirement for Essence Energy, it made them several times stronger than the ordinary person.
Qing Shui did not read very fast, but this nameless ability book was very thin and there were not many stances. In addition to the foundation he had developed from the previous nameless ability, learning this one would be quick. The only thing that remained was to put it into practice.
The second day, Qing Shui, Yan Zhongyue, the old man, the woman, and the three siblings began their journey back to the Phoenix Dance Continent.
In fact, the distance was not actually that far but the wasteland between the continents made it far away. If there was no distance between the continents, the travel would have taken only one day's time. However, they needed a bit more time due to the extra distance.
Qing Shui had the Five Elements Divine Flag, so he used the Five Elements Divine Flag directly and appeared in the Yehuang County of the Phoenix Dance Continent.
In regard to Qing Shui's ability, Yan Zhongyue was shocked. These last two days he had been shocked too many times, thus, he did not question it. Arriving here, Qing Shui decided to give Sou Hun a visit.
Imperial Cuisine Hall!
This place didn't change from before, the man guarding the door recognized Qing Shui immediately. He said courteously, "Miraculous Doctor is here, please enter!"
"Is Sou Miraculous Doctor here?"
Qing Shui and Yan Zhongyue directly went up to the top floor. Once Sou Hun spotted Qing Shui, he gave him an emotional bear hug. Currently, there were two more doctors in here, one old man and one middle-aged man.
Yao Qubing was here as well, he greeted Qing Shui courteously.
Qing Shui introduced Yan Zhongyue to Sou Hun. Qing Shui and Sou Hun were like brothers, thus, Sou Hun courteously called Yan Zhongyue, "Uncle!"
Yan Zhongyue's strength was formidable. With strength, the strong were recognized with status, those who progressed faster would become the first. Having a young-looking face did not necessarily mean that the person was young.
Qing Shui and Sou Hun's relationship was like this. If it was not because of this relationship, he would not introduce Yan Zhongyue. Sou Hun naturally understood this.
Li Ji and Sou Hun's son were currently not at the Imperial Cuisine Hall, they were out and about.
They did not stay here for long, instead, they headed towards the Continent's Capital.
Nine Continents Step!
With the Nine Continents Step, traveling was still very fast. Moreover, the level of Qing Shui's Nine Continents Step had increased. Now, he could travel from Yehaung Country to the Continent's Capital much faster than before. After using Nine Continents Step, they rode on the Fire Bird. By the afternoon of the second day, they arrived at the Continent's Capital.
Qing Shui could tell that Yan Zhongyue was very emotional, the closer they got to the Continent's Capital, the more emotional he became. Qing Shui naturally understood why. During their journey, the two of them had many discussions and it was mostly about the Qing Clan. Yan Zhongyue now knew that Qing Shui had his own children, that Qing Qing was also married and everyone was at the Continent's Capital.
Continent's Capital's Imperial Cuisine Hall!
Entering the gate, this was the Qing Clan's main headquarters. Everyone in the Qing Clan that had resided in the Central Continent had already been moved here, even Qing Luo was over here as well. As long as everyone was together, anywhere could be considered home.
The children in the courtyard were playing, the ones watching the children were Qing Qing and Huoyun Liu-Li. The two of them were happily chatting about something. Once Yan Zhongyue saw Qing Qing, his body shook for a second. Though Qing Qing had grown up, she still looked the same when she was younger.
Qing Qing seemed to have felt something and glanced over. Once she saw Qing Shui, she smiled with happiness and walked towards him. Once she spotted Yan Zhongyue, she froze with her mouth wide open. Immediately, her eyes became red and tears welled up in her eyes, to the point where they began to roll down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Yan Zhongyue's eyes teared up.
He slowly walked over!
"Daddy, is that you?" Once Qing Qing saw Yan Zhongyue, she immediately ran over to hug him. Yan Zhongyue's face had no major changes, Qing Qing's recognition of him would never be forgotten. Just one glance, she could tell that was indeed her father.
"Qing Qing, Daddy is unworthy of you. I have failed to care for you." Yan Zhongyue embraced his daughter as he cried. He could not withhold his tears anymore.
They were separated for 30 years. In his previous life, 30 years were considered almost a lifetime, luckily, they were in the World of the Nine Continents. Moreover, Yan Zhongyue did not leave willingly before and was still holding on to everything.
Therefore, when he first regained all his memories, he wanted to know more about Qing Qing and Qing Yi.
"Daddy, your daughter thought that she would no longer see you ever again in this lifetime." Qing Qing was crying lightly.
Huoyun Liu-Li walked towards Qing Shui's side. In terms of his father's matter, there were not many that knew about it previously. They were aware that Qing Shui's father was not around, but they had never thought he would suddenly show up.
After a while, Qing Qing slowly released Yan Zhongyue. She had her arms around his shoulders with her eyes red from crying, but she was very happy. When she was little, she only had her father. It was her father that raised her for ten years. Once Yan Zhongyue disappeared, Qing Qing's world collapsed. That was also the time Qing Shui saw Qing Qing, and why she became so depressed.
At this time, everyone from the Qing Clan had arrived. Those who were at home all came out. Qing Shui saw his mother and grandfather and went over to greet them.
At the same time, Yan Zhongyue saw Qing Yi. Separated for so many years and they finally reunited. It was a surprising, disconsolate, and an unbelievable feeling. A feeling that could not be described, but was filled with excitement.

We have detected your current browser version is not the latest one. Xilinx.com uses the latest web technologies to bring you the best online experience possible. Please upgrade to a Xilinx.com supported browser:Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 11, Safari. Thank you!
I'm using Xilinx's XDMA on an Ultrascale device.
Suppose I'm configuring the core to have 2 C2H and 2 H2C engines. I also select it to use AXI Stream (not MM).
Suppose the Host CPU configures a descriptor and sends it to one of the C2H interfaces.
What should happen next ?
How will the user's FPGA logic even know that the CPU issued a descriptor and is now waiting for data to be sent ?
The Driver writes the control register to start DMA engine and the DMA engine fetch the descritper from host
based on the descriptor received, the DMA will transfer th data to host
The example C2H flow sequence is as follow:
1. Open device C2H and initialize the DMA.
2. The user program allocates buffer pointer (based on size), passes pointer to read
function with specific device (C2H) and data size.
3. The driver creates descriptor based on size and initializes the DMA with descriptor start
address. Also if there are any adjacent descriptor.
4. The driver writes control register to start the DMA transfer.
5. The DMA reads descriptor from host and starts processing each descriptor.
6. The DMA fetches data from Card and sends data to host. After all data is transferred
based on the settings, the DMA generates an interrupt to host.
7. The ISR driver processes the interrupt to find out which engine is sending the interrupt
and checks the status to see if there are any errors and also checks how many
descriptors are processed.
8. After the status is good, the drive returns transfer byte length to user side so it can
check for the same
Thank for helping Liy.
Lets focus on step 6:
6. The DMA fetches data from Card and sends data to host.
How will this "fetching" action occur ?
All the FPGA logic see's is the C2H AXI Stream bus.
How is it supposed to know that it's now supposed to start sending data through this channel ??
Once the descriptor is set up, the DMA core will open up the c2h_tready - basically that is the indicator that the data can flow in. The user logic would then use the c2h_tvalid to indicate that data is going in, using the tkeep and tlast as described in the documentation (please review carefully).
For C2H Stream, it is less of a "fetch" than an "open bucket" for data to flow in. But the concept is still the same, once the descriptor is processed the DMA engine is ready to accept data, and will complete the transactions until tlast is raised, indicating the end of the data flow.
08-22-2019 08:54 AM - edited 08-22-2019 11:14 AM
For C2H Stream, it is less of a "fetch" than an "open bucket" for data to flow in.
This best conveys it...
But for the bucket to open - the Host FIRST has to issue a descriptor with specific length parameters - correct ?
What if it doesn't know the exact size of the packet it's about to get ?
Hi @shaikon
The host has to open up spaces in host memory (via descriptor(s)) that are equal to or greater than the anticipated incoming data size. For example, if you had 12k incoming data, the host descriptors could open 3 - 4k buckets via 3 descriptors. Then the DMA engine would be ready to accept the data.
Let's say you had 10k data that came in. You would put all that data on the Stream bus and hit tlast at the end. The first 2 descriptors would be completely fulfilled, then the 3rd descriptor would be closed, but with only half the data.
Per PG195, you can go short on the data for C2H stream. So back to your question:
What if it doesn't know the exact size of the packet it's about to get?
The recommended strategy is to provide several descriptors to the descriptor chain that will exceed the size of the expected data. This way you always have enough space + some extra for the incoming data. C2H stream by default is actually a circular buffer of descriptors, so once the last descriptor in the chain is fulfilled, data will start flowing back into the first. (Essentially once the descriptor(s) are loaded, tready will never go low again).
For example, let's say you expect 10k followed sometime later by another 10k, then sometime well after another 10k. You would immediately open 6 4k descriptors. The first 10k would take the first 3, and you would issue tlast. Then the DMA would send an interrupt (or set register bits for poll mode). Your host application would begin fetching the 1st 10k of data. While that is happening the 2nd 10k comes in, flowing into descriptors 4-6. Interrupt is issued. Data is fetched by application. Finally some time later, that last 10k comes in, and it will go back into descriptors 1-3.
In the above scenario, if you know that the last 10k is going to come in ahead of the time when the application would have retrieved the first, then you would need to open 9 (or more) descriptors.
08-23-2019 10:00 AM - edited 08-23-2019 10:08 AM
So the strategy is to always "oversubscribe" to data ?
Are there any exceptions to this ?
Can't the system freeze if it doesn't get data for a prolonged period of time (after sending a descriptor) ?

The True Israel, a Humanitarian Miracle for the World
What does it mean to be a light unto the nations? How does a tiny nation of just over eight million people not only survive but thrive in an extremely hostile neighborhood? How do we have the strength to, more often than not, strive to do the right thing, even when no one else will? The world needs to start learning how the incredible state of Israel has achieved so much in its mere 70-year existence. Through Write On For Israel, I had the privilege of visiting this amazing country and learning how it has become what it is today.
On the third day of our trip, we visited the Wolfson Hospital in Holon, which houses the Save a Child's Heart Program that brings underprivileged children in desperate need of heart surgery to Israel, so they can get the necessary care that doesn't exist in many developing countries. When we first saw the building, we were slightly underwhelmed at its appearance—it hailed in comparison to those in the United States. It was relatively small, outdated and was not aesthetically pleasing, to say the least. But when we walked through the doors, we found the work done by the doctors to be incredible.
One doesn't need to be deeply involved with Save a Child's Heart to understand its successes—miraculous stories tend to speak for themselves. One such story came from our own tour guide and core educator of Write On For Israel, Tuvia Book. As a member of the organization, Tuvia set out to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in order to help support Save a Child's Heart. The climb was planned to start on the Sabbath, so Tuvia decided to camp at the base of the mountain on Friday night then climb with the group on Saturday. While at the camp, he met his guide Moses, a Christian man from the Massai tribe. The two began talking as Tuvia brought up Save a Child's Heart and explained their incredible work. Moses then told him that his niece, Queen, had congenital heart disease and was examined by Indian doctors. However, it was later discovered that in fact Israelis from Save a Child's Heart examined Queen, and was just waiting to get a passport to get to Israel. She was able to get the next trip to Israel, paid for by the Israeli government, and was cured. "The rabbis teach us that we can break Shabbat to save a life," Tuvia said. "In this case, because I kept Shabbat, I helped save a life with Save a Child's Heart."
After a brief Q&A session, we were taken downstairs to the wing which hosted the Save a Child's Heart patients. It was there where we first met Fatimah, an Israeli Arab and a social worker for the program. She explained that Save a Child's Heart brings in patients from multiple countries in Africa, war-torn Syria and even the Gaza strip. The non-for-profit program is funded by Israelis and all doctors perform their work pro-bono. One surgeon, Sagi Assa, showed us around the wing. He performed at least two lifesaving surgeries that day, one immediately before we arrived, and one immediately after we left. Still, he refuses to take major credit for the important work he does every single day.
Our day wouldn't be complete without visiting the children themselves. We took a short drive across town to the home which houses all the children before and after surgery. Many of the Write On students brought art projects for the kids. I brought a magic marker kit, and I will always remember how the kids looked when they saw the marker fail to draw on one page, but do so on the next—they thought it was pure magic. All the children particularly loved our smartphones. Playing with Snapchat filters and various games opened the kids up to technology that many will never see again after they leave Israel. We raced toy trucks, played with building blocks on the grass and even danced to Shakira's "This Time for Africa".
Meeting and playing with these kids opened our eyes not only to how privileged we are to live in a time and a place where we do not need to worry about contracting these kinds of diseases but to the amazing work that Israel is doing. Israel is typically portrayed in a negative light and often does not receive the credit they deserve for their humanitarian efforts. If only the world was able to see all the children being treated in Wolfson Hospital. If only everyone would open their eyes to the work that Israel does for the world, maybe then we would have peace.

On Twitter, I saw some exciting news on Urlaub, an illustration and concept store, soon to open. It's a project by Kim Welling and Ellen Vesters. As I was doing some browsing on the Urlaub website, I came across this (Dutch) interview with the ladies.
I roughly quote: "Ellen turned 30 and realized that after years of making a career, she decided she wanted to do what she did as a child: be an illustrator. Finishing artschool wasn't an option because of finances. She decided to search for tutors, like peope did in the old days when they wanted to learn a craft. "
Wow, what an inspiring idea! I quit artschool after year and always thought about going back. But finances stopped me from doing it, just like with Ellen. So the thought of getting a tutor or mentor was just… why hadn't I thought of that? So my mind immediately started going crazy. How could I do this myself, could I think up assignments for myself and ask skilled illustrators to give me feedback? But why would they want to help me out? What should be in there for them? And what kind of assignments would I have to invent? Style, techniques, what else?
Since it was late at night when I thought of that idea, it's now on my to-think-about-list. Part of the things to think about: Who would I love to have as a mentor? (Don't worry if you see your name up here, it's just a thought, no more than that!)
From left to right: Ellen Vesters (of course), Amy Ng (also famous for Pikaland) and Sterre Verbokkem. I love their work so much! And I love their style, which is inspiring since I'm really searching for my own style. And speaking of searching, here's a very good story about doing what you do by Maaike Hartjes.
Who would you love to have as a mentor or tutor?

What exactly is SSSTS (Site Supervisors Training)?
The two-day Site Supervisors training or SSSTS training course provides an introduction to health and safety. As well as welfare and environmental issues. It is provided to those who require an understanding of their legal responsibilities at work
It was the Construction Regulations of April 2007, that brought to the force, the need for Health & Safety Training in the construction industry. Since then the Site Supervisor Safety Scheme has become an essential qualification for anyone working in a supervisory role.
It is an interactive course featuring case studies and classroom discussions. You will also partake in group work and presentations. The course is designed to give Site Supervisors the skills needed to identify, monitor and prevent accidents in the workplace.
So what does the SSSTS training course cover?
- Health and Safety at Work Act
- Specific site issues that challenge supervisors on a daily basis
- Effective Tool Box Talks

- Behavioral Safety
Do you need to attend a course?
If you work as a site supervisor the answer is, Yes. The course is important in terms of understanding the health & safety issues that relate to your role. As well as the health & safety responsibilities you carry on site.
As one of our most popular running courses, we now deliver SSSTS courses in venues Nationwide. Venues such as Wigan, Manchester, Watford, Portsmouth, Derby, Basildon, Liverpool, Sheffield, Durham, Leeds and Hull.
A delegate recently attending an SSSTS course in Sheffield said the course was:
"very enjoyable, interesting and thought-provoking".
We also offer this course "in-house" which can work out as being a more economical way to train a larger number of delegates.

Tesco first-half profit rises 18.7%; oil pushes up costs (2:26 AM ET) LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Britain's biggest supermarket operator Tesco(UK:TSCO)said Tuesday that first-half pretax profit rose 18.7% to 908 million pounds, while sales rose 14.1% to 18.8 billion pounds. Comparable sales in the U.K. grew 8.2%, or by 6.7% excluding fuel. The group said its U.K. operation saw significant external cost increases in the first half, mainly from higher oil-related costs and above-inflation increases in business rates. Although Tesco said it has budgeted for a large increase in oil-related costs, current oil prices suggest that actual costs may be as much as 60 million pounds above budget for the full year. This level will be hard to absorb fully through other cost savings, it added. "We remain confident that we will make further progress in the second half," said Chief Executive Terry Leahy.

Our most recent snow to hit the area this past week is slowly melting as the temperatures climb into the 60's this early March day. The pristine white has now become spots of green and the melting snow has gone from slush to mush. Alas, weather changes should not be so ill mentioned especially when they afford the opportunity to enjoy a whole new season to relax. Have you noticed the birds? The Cardinals and Blue Jays that have been intermittently visiting and poking around the feeders have been hanging out with a vengeance. Their vibrant colors are such a contrast to the white of the snow.
Inside the plants are having a bit of confusion but they seem to be embracing the weather changes too in their own way. The Christmas cactus has decided to make an appearance and the subtle hues of reds and pinks are a welcome sight and compliment the greens of the ferns and other plants (bonus: no Christmas shopping required)! The fireplace seems to be resting as the sunshine peeks through the surrounding windows (thank you daylights savings time) and is warming the rooms with just enough heat to make things comfortable. The library nook, spacious couch and throw all seem to be looking for a visitor. It seems like the perfect time to enjoy the relaxing changes nature has gifted to us both indoors and out. That is the best thing about Fredericksburg, the weather may change but activities remain abundant.

'Devastating' cuts hit special educational needs
Many local authorities are plunging into the red to meet their obligations as spending trebles in three years
A crisis in funding for children with special educational needs is plunging councils across the country deeper into the red and forcing parents into lengthy legal battles to secure support, according to an Observer investigation that reveals a system at breaking point.
Council overspending on children's special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) has trebled in just three years and is continuing to increase, with councils having to raid hundreds of millions from their overall schools budget to cope. The Observer has identified 40 councils that have either cut special needs funding this year, are considering making cuts or are raiding other education budgets to cope next year.

Godspell - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1973)
Godspell, that well-worn 70s quasi-religious clown musical, was transformed into a wildly creative movie musical in 1973. This soundtrack streamlines the raw, original cast album into a sleek pop recording that is infinitely listenable. The arrangements are gorgeous, and feature, in most cases,
better vocals than the original. The sound is pumped up, and the orchestrations now include lush strings and thick, fat horns and soaring vocal harmonies. Beautiful City, written for the film, is beautiful; the finale, with its seamless transition into Day By Day, is truly moving. For my money, this is the best representation so far of Stephen Schwartz' brilliantly hooky and melodic score. FYI, Jesus is played by the luminous, young Victor Garber, whom most people now know as the architect, in the film Titanic.
This is NOT what is now known as "Christian Rock" (i.e. "you are the Lord, the famous one" crap out nowadays). This is real down home, unreplaceable, MUSIC. Get it and ENJOY!
As there are many versions of Godspell it is hard to choose the best version. If you buy Godspell make sure it has these songs: Prepare ye, Day by Day, Save the people, All Good Gifts, Learn your lesson well, Turn back oh man, Bless the Lord, Light of the world, By My side, Beautiful City, and
On the willows. The movie has all these. The movie has two excellent songs Beautiful City, and Light of the World which are not on some other versions.

Okay, I haven't been doing a lot of crafts lately…due to work. I work a lot! Since Monday's were set aside for my craft corner I decided I need a back up plan when there are no projects going on. So…what are you reading was born!
This is for all of us readers out there who want to share the amazing books we have been reading, or are in the middle of reading. So, tell me, what are you reading and what do you think about it so far?
I am reading two books, that are not part of my reviews for The Reading Bud.
The first one is The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
I'm not going to lie, I have read this book before. And loved it. There are two reasons I am re-reading this. 1. I hadn't realized that the second book was out, so of course I bought the second book and needed to read the first again to refresh my memory. 2. OMG!!! They are making this into a movie and Chloe Moretz is playing the main character.
I can not tell you how excited I am for this movie… and how bummed I am it won't happen until January 2016.
The second book I am reading is Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
My brother read this, as I have mentioned before. If my brother was able to actually finish it, it must be a good book, because my brother doesn't read often. And so far, though I am not very far into the novel, it's really good. I love reading stories where the world is a bit different from the world we live in, but not so different that it's completely unbelievable. I have high hopes for this book.
And from what I have seen…this book will also be turned into a movie. Directed by Stephen Spielberg. Umm…I'm in!
Your turn! What books are you reading at the moment?

Qufora® and children
Rectal irrigation has been used for children with faecal incontinence and constipation for many years. During the 1980's, for example, it was applied with great success among children with spina bifida. However, a lack of good options for administering rectal irrigation led to a decline in its use for several years. Today, new solutions have improved administration, and children are finding that rectal irrigation can help them to achieve continence and avoid constipation.
Suitable for children aged three and above, the Qufora® range is unique because it offers four distinct options. The Qufora® IrriSedo Mini instils only a small amount of water, and works via a handheld pump and cone. If more water is needed, the Qufora® IrriSedo Cone is simple and easy to use. If a catheter is required to instil the water, consider the Qufora® IrriSedo Balloon option, with its easy-to-use control system. Finally the Qufora® IrriSedo Bed System enables in-bed administration, and features a closed-system design that reduces odour and keeps the stool contained in a bag. Whatever the child's irrigation needs are, Qufora® has a system that can help.
Before commencing irrigation, the child must be assessed by a paediatric healthcare professional who understands rectal irrigation. Once the healthcare professional has determined that irrigation is appropriate for the child, he or she can advise you on the best Qufora® system to use, and can help assess, instruct, monitor progress, and answer any questions you may have.
Contact your paediatric healthcare professional, continence team or GP for futher advice.

Wolf Longspringsaid
The camera wavers unsteadily and thumping can be heard before the picture finally resolves itself: the deck of an old barge in a steep and secluded cove somewhere in Hathian. It is night and blinking stars can be seen overhead. A ratty sofa sits behind a table made from boards and cinder blocks upon which can be found a bottle of blue Gatorade, a pair of candles for light and an ashtray filled with roaches. One still burns, a blue plume of smoke curling into the evening sky. The chirping of crickets and the drumbeat of frogs the only sound save for the clomping of feet as Wolf Longspring takes a seat before the camera. He plops onto the sofa, eyes red and mere slits, a goofy and nervous grin on his fair, open face. A broad hand adjusts the camera slightly and he's ready to address it.
"Sup dudes. People are talkin' 'bout themselves so I figured I'd do it too...they're writin' theirs, though, and writin' ain't my strong suit so I figure I'd just record it. I might not put it in." Wolf's sea blue eyes cast to the deck, a size 15 shoe thumping nervously. "Its kinda personal shit, right? I don't know if I want people knowin' it yet." A sigh and a swig from his Gatorade and Wolf peers into the camera. "Its 'bout religion, right? I got a friend that's gettin' totally religious. Church and shit? But he got it all wrong." Wolf's voice hushes low, leaning into the camera. "I know the only true religion. It's the Church of the Whole. I'm gonna tell ya 'bout it, but don't go spreadin' this shit around, 'kay? Like I said. It's personal."
Wolf hunts through the ashtray for the still burning blunt, pinching it in his cheesestick fingers and bringing it to his lips, sucking hard so that the roach burns right down and a jet of smoke is drawn through his fish-lips. "Ow, motherfucker," he grumbles as his fingers are singed, dropping the roach back into the ashtray. It's a roach grave yard in there.
"Okay, here goes. Ya know how everythin' started, right? The Big Bang. A big fuckin' explosion that made everythin' go. But before the Big Bang, everythin' was just this little point, small and perfect - and I mean everything...you and me and the fuck that stabbed ya last week and that fuck's Ma, and everythin' you can see and even the stuff you can't fuckin' see, man. All of it - small and perfect and all together where there's no space and no time, man. Think about that -- no fuckin' time!" Wolf nods a few times, grinning, seeming to contemplate the idea of timelessness.
"And then, BOOOM!" Wolf's gangly arms spread suddenly, his voice rolling across the water of the cove making the frogs fall silent. "The whole thing just fuckin' explodes, blowing up that perfectness and sending it everywhere! That's where we are now...the Age of the Mess, where everythin' is flyin' all over and shit happens." Wolf's broad face nears the camera, his voice quieter again. "Now you'd think that, 'cause there was no time in the Whole, nobody would remember being there. But we do, man. It's built into us - the memory of the Whole when we were perfect and all together - built right into our bones and our hearts and our goddam souls, dude. So now, we feel all lonely and wrong 'cause we miss the Whole, even if we don't know it. And we're all like 'I'll get a girlfriend, or a husband or a fuck buddy or a goddam dog and I won't feel that way no more.' And that might work for a while, dude, but never forever. So then we're all like 'I'll get religion, dude, 'cause then god will love me and i won't feel so lonely and wrong'. But that ain't gonna do it neither. We want the Whole, man. We want to be in the fuckin' Whole."
A swig from his Gatorade and Wolf gathers his thoughts before going on. "But here's the good news. The Universe wants us all ta be t'gether in the Whole so bad that it works ta make that happen. There's five things tryin' ta bring us all back t'gether," Wolf holds up a thick hand with five calloused fingers extended to count off. "The first is Commerce. That's just one thing tradin' with another...two asteroids hit, and they trade speed fer direction - the cells in yer lungs trade oxygen fer that shit the plants breathe. You scratch my back, I scratch yers. Commerce is all around ya, makin' us work t'gether." Once finger goes down. "The second is Blood. It binds families t'gether, but more than that. If someone shoots ya 'er stabs ya, yer bound t'gether by the Blood that was spilled. Blood can be ugly, but its strong," Wolf says with a quiet discomfort, slowly removing a second finger. "Then there's Serendipity. She sometimes causes shit, but if its real Serendipity, it'll bring shit t'gether in the end. She's crazy," Wolf giggles, then eyes the camera seriously, whispering, "Sometimes I can see her."
Another finger goes down, the index and thumb remaining. "Fourth is Love. That's the best one. That's what yer built ta do...love. Ya just gotta give it away 'cause that's the only thing it's good fer. Ya can't keep it. Ya can't save it up. And ya can't force someone ta take it...but that shouldn't stop ya from offerin' it. Give away as much as ya can - there's always more." Wolf's thick thumb disappears into his palm.
"And the last one is Gravity. That's the big picture one. It don't matter so much down here on earth where we just use it ta keep our feet on the ground. But one day, all the stars will burn out, and there'll be no shit left to make more stars and the whole fuckin' universe will go dark. Then the Age of the Whole will begin, man. And Gravity will - gather...like a shepherd - gather everything back up and make us perfect and together again. We're goin' HOME dudes."
Wolf suddenly stands, his voice deepening, gaining resonance like a white, skinny, Martin Luther King Jr. "And on that day, ALL the Whole's children; black dudes and white dudes, angels and assholes, potheads and squares will join together and sing 'home at last, home at last, thank the Whole Almighty we're home at last!!'" He falls back into his chair, flushed and glowing and with a lopsided smile that says 'aren't I clever to have figured out the meaning of life, and at such a young age too! "I can't wait," Wolf breathes softly, his eyes misting before looking back to the camera, realizing that people will be watching this. A rush of indecision flickers over his face in the candle light. "Fuck this shit...I changed my mind," he mutters before a broad hand envelopes the camera and the screen goes black.
