The three of us were feeling pretty ambitious when we planned to be at a Split walking tour for 10:30 am this morning. We forgot about the realities of a pub crawl, and the morning after a late night like that. To be fair, we were up by about 9:30, but that wasn't nearly enough time to shower, eat breakfast, and get to town in time. We decided to skip that and to take the day a little slower, so that we wouldn't have to stay overly rushed all day. We also planned to go to Diocletian's Palace after the walking tour and then directly to a sea kayaking tour afterwards as well. Skipping the walking tour, we made ourselves eggs and sausages, and some wraps for the road.
We headed into town and stopped at Diocletian's Palace, in order to get ourselves back on track. It's been there, in varying stages, since at least 305 CE. A huge fortress, it's worth a look. The parts that exist were formerly the substructure of the palace, and were kept in really good condition due to the fact that after a few hundred years, it was filled with debris and garbage. Somewhat ironic but a good twist of fate for the building. Diocletian must have been a pretty impressive guy, not only to have been a caesar, but to get this built solely for his retirement.
After the visit, we came out into the main courtyard, where plays are performed or bands play most evenings. We sat for a half hour or so and finished our wraps, but then decided to go book our kayaking tour and to get ready for that. We had a promoter for it come up to us even as we sat eating, so we were sure that there would be spots for us. Getting to the office, we asked to book the tour for that day, and the receptionist turned us away, saying that not only the tour was full, but that you have to reserve a minimum of two hours ahead of time, which is written no where. Not wanting to make a fuss, we went on our way and tried to make a new plan for the rest of the day. We were left extremely impressed by the private beach we were at yesterday, and decided to repeat that endeavour. We swam for a couple of hours and tried to enjoy the lovely weather for the rest of the afternoon.
Walking back to town, we decided to go for a nice dinner, as the kayaking and the tour both kind of didn't work out today. We found a lovely little place right off the main boulevard, and sat for a couple hours just talking the night away while we watched the sunset. Deanna ordered herself some fish and spinach, and Nastassia and Jan decided to share a meat plate that sounded delicious. The food was pretty great, and the company even better.
Finishing the night off on a sweet note, we noticed that a gelato place had ferrero rocher flavoured gelato out, and we couldn't resist. Delicious, sweet gelato to wrap up a good time in Split while staring at some twinkly lights over the water. All three of us went home perfectly content and now we just have to spend a little time packing up all of our stuff and making sure that we are ready to go for out 6:15 am bus tomorrow morning!
Spavati zbijeno!

This, one of the most atmospheric locations I have visited for a gallery perfectly set off Giulio's paintings, hypnotically lit by strobes and black lighting, forcing the painted images to jump forward at you, as though the very bodies in the vaults surrounding you were reaching out, about to touch you on the shoulder. Original crypt tombstones littered the corridors as you stumbled around from one crypt to the next. If you're looking for atmosphere, and you're not epileptic, then I fully recommend popping in to view for yourself, before the exhibition ends on the 28th April.

text: Gaja's 2014 Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo is clearly at the beginning of a long and promising aging trajectory. At it's core, it shows a pinch of nervous energy and inner tightness that will surely unravel and soften as this beautiful wine continues along its magical journey in time. Angelo Gaja and his family present spectacular results in this controversial 2014 vintage. They have risen far above most of their peers and have shown a keen ability to understand their site and the versatility of their cherished Nebbiolo grape. The variety sings with a loud and exuberant voice, first offering plenty of primary fruit like blackberry and dried cherry. It then follows up with savory earth and spice. This is a bright and youthful wine that is set steady for a long aging future. ( 95/100 ROBERT PARKER). THE WINE ADVOXATE

Whether you want to be a technician, fitter or work in an administration role, we have many opportunities. So if you want to join a progressive company with excellent career prospects please view our latest vacancies.
By 2020, 40% of all vehicles on UK roads will feature at least two Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), many of which rely on an accurately calibrated windscreen-mounted camera in order to function effectively.
Production of a series of educational videos is now underway at National Windscreens designed to explain the role of ADAS and what needs to happen to keep these safety systems working as intended.
Rob Roberts, regional training manager at National Windscreens, explains: "There has been massive growth in the use of ADAS technology over the last two years. Our research indicates however that there is still a lack of awareness of these systems and, even more importantly, the need to undertake camera calibration following a windscreen replacement. This calibration is essential to ensure these safety systems continue to work as intended."
"These new videos provide an easy to understand overview of the function of ADAS systems, why camera calibration is so important and what the calibration process should involve according to the Thatcham Code of Practice."
The videos will be made available on www.nationalwindscreens.co.uk in October.

It seems that the Welsh squad love Joe Allen just as much as we do.
Wales skipper Ashley Williams has told WalesOnline that the Liverpool midfielder is adored by his international colleagues, who hold weekly 'Joe Allen Appreciation Days' on their WhatsApp group.
"Everyone loves Joe," Williams told WalesOnline as he profiled each of his Red Dragons teammates.
"We have a WhatsApp messaging group and at least once a week we have a Joe Allen Appreciation Day. Great beard, great haircut, great guy, he's the main man in the squad. Class player too."
Allen is sitting out of Wales's friendly with Sweden this afternoon with a minor knee injury, but BBC Sport reports that he will be fit for their tournament opener against Slovakia on June 11.
In Group B, Wales also face Russia and England, where Allen could face some of his Reds pals – Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Lallana, James Milner, Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge.
Hopefully there will be opportunities for Liverpool fans to have Joe Allen Appreciation Days next season, with the midfielder having developed into a firm favourite of the majority inside Anfield.
But the 26-year-old, who made just eight Premier League starts last season, only has one year left on his Liverpool contract, and the Daily Mail has tipped him to rejoin Swansea City this summer.

The transition from funeral service in the 1890's to the fine and efficient funeral home of today has been gradual but steady. Each passing decade has found the Townes establishment rendering a better service with better facilities and equipment, culminating with the building of the complete funeral center in 1967 at 215 West Main Street.
The funeral home is of the traditional Williamsburg style of architecture-the West Main Street facade being of residential design, while the Central Boulevard elevation emphasizes the chapel entrance, which is copied from the Governor's Palace at Williamsburg. The building is designed with numerous sitting rooms available where families can receive their friends in the hours before the funeral, and have whatever degree of privacy they desire.
A large display room contains a wide selection of caskets, vaults, urns and other funeral necessities. Every style and every price range is well represented, assuring each family that they will be able to select a funeral that is affordable.
The chapel is spacious and offers comfortable seating for all who wish to attend the funeral. The large family room, adjacent to the chapel, gives the family all the privacy they wish. A large parking area offers plenty of space for visitors to park their cars safely off the street, and only a few steps from our door. With the addition of our crematory, families can rest assured that their loved one never leaves our care.

AS the world approaches the day of decision on a treaty to deal with the threat of global warming, separate negotiations on another overarching environmental question, maintaining biological diversity, are moving toward their own denouement.
The object of these less prominent but nevertheless high-stakes talks is to forge a binding agreement among the world's nations to slow or halt a steady loss of plant, animal and microbial species that many biologists fear will result in a mass extinction of epic proportions in mere decades.
The basic question involves actions that nations should be required to take in conserving species, habitats and ecosystems. Despite a patchwork of international agreements like the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, there is no legally binding treaty that directly and comprehensively addresses the overall problem of preserving biological diversity.
Some countries have developed national action plans to identify, conserve and manage biological resources. But most, including many tropical countries that are richest in species, have not. These are precisely the main countries where economic and development pressures are destroying habitats at a rate that alarms many scientists and conservation biologists.
Dr. Edward O. Wilson of Harvard University, an expert on the subject, has calculated that 50,000 species a year are being doomed to eventual extinction because of deforestation in the tropics. At that rate, says Dr. Wilson, a quarter or more of all species on earth could be exterminated within 50 years. While a few biologists say that the problem has been overstated, few if any argue with the idea that a problem exists, and most say it is serious. The direst scenarios predict an eventual wave of extinctions comparable to the one 65 million years ago in which the dinosaurs disappeared. Scientists say this could weaken the ecological webs that support human life.
Like the talks on global warming, whose penultimate session ended last week in New York on a modest note of hope, the talks on preserving biological diversity are throwing a spotlight on basic differences between the rich nations of the industrialized world and the struggling countries of the developing world.
In both cases, the poverty-plagued countries of the South, as they are collectively characterized, insist that the affluent countries of the North foot the bill for the developing nations' part in dealing with the problem. The two sets of treaty talks are tied together on this question, in that the negotiators on biodiversity are hoping that their counterparts on global warming can come up with a solution that might be emulated.
Each group of negotiators is charged by the United Nations with producing a legally binding treaty to be signed at an "Earth Summit" in Rio de Janeiro in early June. The final round of climate negotiations is to take place at United Nations headquarters in New York from April 30 through May 8. Three days later, the last round of biodiversity talks convenes in Nairobi, Kenya.
Both groups of negotiators are hoping that the outlines of a financial solution will emerge this month as yet a third group meets at the United Nations to work out a nonbinding global action agenda, covering a wide range of related environmental and development issues, for the Rio conference. A crucial issue on the agenda is that of North-South financial arrangements. This third group convened yesterday.
There are other difficult issues in both the climate talks and the talks on biodiversity. Equally critical to prospects for a climate treaty is an agreement between the United States and the European Community on how to limit carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases emitted as a result of human activity. The Europeans insist that carbon dioxide emissions be stabilized at 1990 levels by the year 2000. The Americans reject the notion of targets and timetables. Many developing countries say they will not sign a treaty unless the industrialized countries make specific commitments on reducing emissions.
On the central purpose of the biodiversity talks, there is "a high likelihood we can come to an agreement" on national commitments to protect species, habitats and ecosystems, said J. D. Buffington of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, chief American representative in the group of negotiators dealing with the issue.
"We've established in principle the importance of conservation activities within a country, including setting aside reserves and managing those areas," he said after the latest negotiating session ended in mid-February. The negotiators have agreed that such programs should be the primary line of defense, with seed banks, gene banks and zoos secondary.
If an agreement along these lines is achieved, it would for the first time bind governments together in a mutual obligation to conserve species. "It would set up machinery that would assure that biodiversity issues remain on the table, that they're not just a flash in the pan," said Jeffrey A. McNeeley, the chief conservation officer of the World Conservation Union, a global association of private and governmental organizations.
One remaining obstacle has to do with whether a specific list of species, habitats and ecosystems to be protected should be drawn up to guide the international effort. Conservation organizations favor the list as being essential to the setting of international priorities, but some countries fear it would trespass on their ability to set their own priorities.
"This could be addressed if the list were established by nominations from countries," said Dr. Walter V. Reid, a conservation expert at the World Resources Institute, an environmental organization based in Washington. "There's plenty of room for negotiation."
Issues other than the central question of conservation measures are posing greater difficulty. One of these involves the ownership of genetic materials. Historically, seeds, germ plasm and specimens of individual species have been considered to be in the public domain. Anyone who found them could exploit them without compensating the country of origin. Now developing countries are seeking to claim control over these resources and to share in their economic benefits.
Another thorny question involves the control of genetically altered organisms. Some European countries want them strictly regulated. The United States rejects the notion that such organisms are inherently dangerous, any more than natural organisms are dangerous just because they are natural. Last week the White House announced new ground rules for Federal regulation that would focus on the actual characteristics of an individual organism rather than on the fact that it has been genetically altered. In the talks, the United States argues that the question is peripheral to a treaty whose primary purpose is conservation of natural species.
Argument also attends the issue of the terms on which the industrialized countries should transfer conservation technology and know-how to developing countries. But the biggest point of contention is the one between North and South over money.
"We have made a certain amount of progress on everything except funding," said Eleanor Savage, a State Department official who heads the United States delegation at the talks.
To many developing countries, conservation is clearly secondary to the day-to-day struggle to support their surging populations. "Seeing it from where you are or I am, the environment might look very important," said Fiona McConnell, the head of the British delegation. "But if your concern is survival, you might need some persuading."
Money is the persuader, and some developing countries are proposing that the North not only bear the costs of putting new conservation measures into effect but also compensate the South for foregoing the economic benefits of cutting down forests to expand commercial agriculture or timbering, for example. But other developing countries believe that if the forests are preserved and properly exploited for medicine and renewable products, they are worth more than if they are cut down.
The United States opened a possible wedge into the financial issue last week when it reversed position and pledged unilaterally to contribute $75 million to developing countries' costs of coping with global warming.
Of that sum, $50 million would be paid into the Global Environmental Facility, a pilot program established last year by the World Bank, the United Nations Environment Program and the United Nations Development program to channel environmental money from North to South. Developing countries welcomed the reversal with reservations. Many fear that the Global Environment Facility, which is controlled by developed countries, will shut them out of a say in administering the funds.
At this point, many would agree with Ms. McConnell of Britain, who says she is "cautiously optimistic" that a biodiversity treaty can be signed.
"If the funding article is resolved," said Dr. Reid of the World Resources Institute, "it will fall into place very quickly."

This commemorative mug was produced for the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary, June 22nd, 1911. It was made by Shelley with transfer-printed decoration in colour; images of the King and Queen, the Union flag , the crown and sceptres and intertwined roses on one side, black and white printing on the back with the town coat of arms, "Borough of Godalming" above, "A. Monroe M.A C.I.E Mayor" below and "Coronation" and "Celebration" down either side. The base of the mug is marked with Shelley's trade mark and "Candlin's China Shop". These cups were clearly mass produced by Shelley for the coronation and it appears that the local china retailer transfer-printed local details onto them.
From Museum records it would appear that the mugs were given out by Godalming schools. This one was given to Donald Covey when he was eleven. He later worked as a baker in Farncombe, remained living in Godalming all his life and died in May 2002, having kept the mug intact for over ninety years. It was presented to the Museum after his death.

Great light Review by JH
I have had my light for about 7 months and even with the original battery it works great, I only use the light when necessary but I had no issues with the switch whatsoever. (Posted on 6/8/2020)
Decent for the price Review by Mirza
Overall, I love the look on the pistol and the brightness is perfect for me. However, I was having issues with it only working in momentary mode, and it would strobe any time I held the button. This is was an indication that my battery already had to be replaced, even though I barely had it on since the day of purchase. I purchased Energizer batteries, and haven't had any problems since then.
Overall, great light, length of battery is an issue however. (Posted on 4/30/2020)

Pros: it's bright, seems durable, lite weight, fits my sd9ve very well, looks nice
Cons: The activation switch accidentally get bumped on when laying the pistol down if you're not really careful , it has no strobe/flicker feature, should be rechargeable, made in China
Summary: overall it's a good light & I am happy with it. It's not perfect but for the Average Joe it'll work (Posted on 2/20/2020)
Great light Review by Dudemandave
Great light, super bright! Only wish you could really turn it off. With only the pressure switches, it comes on sometimes in my holster. Go through batteries. If I didn't need to have it in a holster, I would have gave five stars. (Posted on 2/15/2020)


text: Saving money is one of those things that we all want to do a little more of. At times, it may seem like it is easier said than done. But, if you're serious about improving your finances and end the vicious cycle of living paycheck-to-paycheck, you have to find ways to save more money. Whatever your end goal is, it'll make things much easier if find ways to cut costs each month. If you're a little stuck on what you can do, don't worry! Keep reading for 50 ways to save money everyday.

1) End writer's cramp! After all your pre-wedding parties and your wedding, it is proper etiquette to send your guests thank you cards. This means more running around to buy all the cards, purchase postage, and then you have to personally write the notes; necessary but so tedious and costly! We have an answer to this dilemma. Eventastic Weddings offers a 'video thank-you' service that is easy, fun, just as personal and will save you a ton of time and money. Your thank you card process will be transformed into a simple, unique, interactive experience. You and your fiancé can record a special thank you video for your guests. You can even record your video in multiple languages. How cool is that?
What's great about this is that Eventastic Weddings also has a universal gift and cash gifting registry. If you start using our platform from the beginning, all your gifts are organized in one location making it easy to send personalized thank you videos thanking them for specific wedding gifts they gave you. Just imagine you and your spouse on camera saying "Thanks Aunt Jane for the Kitchen Aid mixer, we love it and really it was great seeing you at the wedding." Simply record and send. It's the new, modern,and far more personal way to say thank you.
2) Set aside time: Choose a day of the week to focus on wedding details, or if pressed for time, blitz it with several days in a row. Make sure you and your finance sit down together to plan. This will eliminate confusion and crossed wires (he's thinking he's supposed to call and check on hall rentals when the bride already has it narrowed down).
3) Keep things neat and tidy. You are probably going to end up stashing brochures, notes and pamphlets galore in your binder, so every month or so, clean up shop. Recycle any papers that you're not going to need to reference again, and keep that practice up so you're not having to sort through useless information every time you're looking for something.
We hope our tips are informative and helpful for you and your fiancé during this amazing journey.

He rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine.
More rejoicing over finding one lost sheep than the ninety-nine that stayed where they were supposed to be? That sounds backwards. Doesn't Jesus expect us not to stray? Doesn't he want us to follow him faithfully and obediently?
Of course he does! And of course he rejoices over our faithful obedience. But Jesus also wants to do for us what he was trying to do for Israel's religious leaders when he first told this parable: he wants to turn our vision upside down in order to teach us how to value what he values.
Of course Jesus loves and values every one of us. But when it comes to the unsettled, the confused, or those mired in sin—these people tug at his heart in a special way. He doesn't want to see any of these people get lost or left behind. And neither does he want us, his disciples, to turn away from them. He wants us to share our love, our faith, and our material resources with them.
This call to care for those who are wandering often requires two shifts in our perspective. First, we need to take on Jesus' vision so that we actually "see" people who have strayed. It's easy to live in a world of our own making, safely cut off from anyone who is different from us. How can we care for someone if we don't notice them?
Second, we need to take on Jesus' heart by moving from judgment to compassion. We can be tempted to look at those wandering and search for character flaws that may have caused them to take a wrong turn. But unless we replace our judgmental attitudes with respect and goodwill, we won't be able to help them or lead them back to the Lord.
Take a look today at your disposition toward the people you tend to judge harshly. It could be a group of people, like the tax collectors, who upset many of the Pharisees in Jesus' day. Or it could be just one or two people you know. Ask God to forgive you for any negative attitudes you might have toward them, and tell him you want to learn how to love them. Let Jesus open your eyes. Let him soften your heart.

The NCAA Men's Basketball Final Four square off this Saturday in a game to determine who will play in the National Championship Game on April 7 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Unfortunately, none of the 11 Catholic colleges selected by the NCAA Men's Basketball Committee to compete in this year's "March Madness" tournament have advanced to the celebrated game this Saturday. Also unfortunate was the schedule set out by the Committee this past month. Eight of the Catholic Colleges were bracketed to play their first and if they won, their second-round games on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
Regrettably, none of the Catholic Colleges in question protested or even suggested a hint of dismay at the timing of the games on two of the most important and holiest days in all of Christendom. Instead, these Catholic Colleges cashed in, along with all the other schools in the lucrative marketing deals that the NCAA tournament has become over the years. Apparently, the mission of many of these colleges seems to be more about the bottom line than about adherence to the creed they claim as their mission.
Happily, this "bottom-line" mission was not apparent here in the Diocese of Providence during the recent Division I State High School Boys Hockey series. Originally scheduled to begin precisely as the "Light of Christ" was being joyously proclaimed at the Easter Vigil Masses across Rhode Island, the game between Mount St. Charles and Bishop Hendricken was rescheduled to Monday night in deference to the Mother of all Vigils and the celebration of Christ's resurrection.
This wise decision by the officials of the R.I. Interscholastic League was due in large part to the request put forth by the administrations of the two Catholic high schools. Such wisdom must be applauded, and we commend both Bishop Hendricken and Mount St. Charles for staying true to the faith! Apparently these qualities are scarce at some of our Catholic colleges and universities, as they dare not question the "bottom-line" of the NCAA.

For Sale in Conway, Arkansas. $3,000 USD OBO.
Buyer pays Shipping.
I am the fourth or fifth owner of this horn.
Link to Photos: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Xufwi ... pQ-NJMdNWm" target="_blank"
This horn plays excellently. All points on the harmonic series sit as they should.
The fifth valve has slides that can be configured to a flat Major Third (2+3 combination), or a tritone (2+4) and has enough extra tubing to function essentially like a compensating fifth valve.
Note: This tuba's fifth valve does not act as a flat whole step
This horn is excellent for band, chamber, orchestra, and solo playing.
There is moderate wear to the finish, a few dents that should roll out fairly easily, and original string linkages.
Marzan CC Tubas were produced in a limited number of models, in a small batch, and as such, I haven't ever seen one with a serial number.
Comes with original reinforced hard case.
Feel free to contact me with questions and offers here and at samtuttle95[at]gmail[dot]com
-Update: Sold to Tony Kniffen and Butler University-

GitHub Readme.md
This handles auto-updates for in-app updates and also handles downloads from the main site. Releases are stored in s3 and can be accessed via the release manager's UI.
Environment Variables
$ git clone email@example.com:yhat/electron-release-manager.git && cd electron-release-manager

We use a simple directory structure for managing releases and versions in Rodeo.
In the s3 bucket, we create a directory for each release (i.e.
1.0.1, etc.).
Within each directory we put our builds for each platform with the following format:
So a release looks like this:
s3cmd ls s3://rodeo-releases/1.2.1/*
2015-12-29 22:50 50273604 s3://rodeo-releases/1.2.1/Rodeo-v1.2.1-darwin_64.dmg

Users downloading your product for the first time will probably want the
idiot-proof installers (
.dmg for Mac,
.exe for Windows). However, for
auto-updates with Squirrel, you'll need to provide
.zip files for each
platform. In the example above, you can see that we have both
.zip files in the release directory for each platform.
You can use any tool to upload your releases to your s3 bucket. We recommend
s3cmd. It's simple, easy, and has been around a
long time. Remember to upload each file corresponding to the directory structure
outlined above.
echo "uploading OSX"

The following study was done during the winter seasons of 2015-2016 at Qlyasan Agricultural Research Station, College of Agricultural Sciences, University of Sulaimani, using factorial (6×6×4) design conducted in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates to study the effect of planting date, plant densities and removal treatments of bread wheat (Adana-99) cultivars to establish the relationship between yield components and plant traits to the yield (output) of the grain. After the collection of data on bread wheat, a correlation analysis and a path analysis were carried out. Positive and highly significant correlation recorded between grain yield and the spike length, spike weight, number of spikelets/spike, number of grains/spike, weight of grains/spike, 1000- grain weight, harvest index and biological yield. Concerning the path coefficient analysis, grain yield represented the (dependent variable) and all characters, were the (independent) ones. Maximum and positive direct effect on grain yield recorded by biological yield was (0.855) and followed by harvest index was (0.337). While number of grains/spike was (-0.045) recorded maximum negative direct effect on grain yield. These relations can be used as selection criteria in breeding studies to improve the higher yields cultivars for that region.
Key Words: : Bread wheat, Grain yield, Correlation coefficient and path analysis.

You have been here for three and a half weeks. I'm not sure how that's possible, and at the same time, haven't you always been a part of this crazy family? Sometimes it seems that way. We've been anticipating you for so long – especially your sisters, that I think when you got here, it seemed you were just returning from some long trip somewhere and that we all already knew you.
You were born in my bed.
It was a very difficult, strenuous labor. Even having been through two prior labors, yours was the hardest. And still, so very, very worth it. Worth every moment, every cry, every thought that I couldn't do it a second longer.
And now, when I take you off to bed in the evening, and all your sisters are sleeping and the house is quiet, my room feels like this special place for you and I. Last weekend I changed the sheets for the first time since after you were born, and put the sheets back on the bed that were on it when you came.
Every night I lay down with you in the very spot where you first cried. Where I first met you and kissed your cheeks. Where I laid, thanking Jesus that you were here, that the labor was over and that I was laying there, in that very bed, holding my daughter that He had knit together right inside of me.
You are a miracle.
I look down at you frequently and think, "I can't believe that I've been blessed with another daughter. That I've been given another little soul to love." Of course, I'm not the only Mama around here. Nope, you've got five Mamas. Your other four are always very eager to help, kiss, smother, sing.
Bella loves to hold you, and it's the first thing she asks to do when she gets home from school each day. She is always eager to help – changing diapers, picking out clothes, giving baths – you are her favorite new little doll.
Naomi is head over heels for you. And I was a little worried about how she'd react to you joining the family. She gives you about 500 kisses a day. Anytime you cry she makes sure that I don't miss it. She runs to me pointing at you saying, "She crying! She crying!" She sings to you in the car. The look on her face when she gets to hold you is full of pride, joy, and excitement.
Tootaw randomly comes up to you several times a day and says, "I just love you baby Vida."
But Sylvia. Sylvia seems to have some special bond with you. She is constantly holding you, touching you, singing to you, kissing you. Last night you were crying while I got ready for bed. I climbed into bed with you to nurse you, and Sylvia was not five seconds behind me. She climbed in on the other side of you and snuggled up just as close as she could possibly get to you and whispered, "Oh Vi-Vi (her name for you), it's ok now, I'm here and you're safe." After you stopped crying she added, "Oh, is that what you wanted, you just wanted your Mommy and your Sylvie?" She regularly tells you that you are "the best gurl in the wuld." She loves you so, so much.
There is so much love for you here.
As my belly begins to return to normal, and I can see how you've begun to grow, I snuggle you close not wanting to let go of this sacred thing that has just happened. Not wanting to forget your kicks, not wanting the relief of you being placed on my chest to fade, treasuring your newness – a soul so recently and intimately crafted by our Father. But I am also so anxious to see, as you grow, just who it is that He has created. Who you are and what you love and to find how you will live out your purpose here.
You are treasured. In the rare moments of quiet that we get together each day I whisper to you, "You are treasured. You are so loved." And I whisper to Jesus, "Let her know you, let her find her purpose in Your glory."
I love you Vida Elizabeth. I ask you now for grace when I stumble. I cannot wait to watch you grow, and to grow with you.
Love you, love you, love you,

Sofia Transport
The centre of Sofia is easily accessible by public transport, which includes trams, buses and trolleybuses. Buses run from 5am until midnight and trams run until 1am. Single-trip tickets can be purchased before boarding as well as on the vehicle.
Renting a car is impractical, given the volume of traffic and limited number of parking spaces in and around Sofia. Taxis are cheap and easily available, though. Tariffs are usually shown on the vehicle window. If they're not and there's no meter, passengers should negotiate a fare before setting off. Many tourist attractions are set close together, making Sofia a walkable city for sightseers.
For the most part, safety isn't a worry. Visitors should be aware of their possessions at all times, though, as pickpockets operate in some popular tourist areas.

Arsenal boss Emery ready to face road tests
Tough run-in for Gunners as away-day fixtures start with 'big challenge' at Everton
05 April, 2019 — By Steve Barnett
Unai Emery: 'It's going to be very difficult, but step by step we've started to rise up the table after the first two matches in the Premier League when we lost against Manchester City and Chelsea. We are improving'
UNAI Emery is calling on his charges to show the same consistency on their travels as they do at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal gear up for an end-of-season run-in on the road.
The Gunners face "a big challenge" on Sunday when they tackle in-form Everton at Goodison Park. It kickstarts a run of fixtures that will see the north Londoners play five of their remaining seven Premier League games away from home – not to mention a two-legged tie against Napoli in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
With a place in the Champions League next season very much up for grabs, Emery says he wants to give supporters something to shout about.
But to do that his players must first continue to show that they have "big spirit" when it matters most.
"My first target is to create a big atmosphere with our supporters – and I think we are creating that little by little," said the Spaniard.
"We also need to convince people that we can be consistent away. On Sunday, and in all of our remaining matches, it's going to be difficult, so we need to be consistent.
"The game at Everton is going to be a big challenge for us because each match is so hard in the Premier League, especially away from home."
Emery added: "I want to create a very big mentality with the players and the supporters.
"We were playing some matches, not being consistent, and conceding a lot of chances to the opposition. But I think in the last matches, against Newcastle and Manchester United for example, we are winning and not conceding goals.
"Our target is very clear. It's going to be very difficult, but step by step we've started to rise up the table after the first two matches in the Premier League when we lost against Manchester City and Chelsea. We are improving."
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is among the players hoping that the big mentality Emery is trying to instil leads the club back to European football's top table.
"It's every team's dream to play Champions League football," he said.
"It's the best European competition in the world. To play against all the big teams would be fantastic and you get to test yourself fully."

The term "ambigram" refers to words or phrases which, in the usual representation, look the same as after rotation by 180 °. This means that the respective lettering looks completely identical when it is turned upside down. In addition, symbols that look identical from two different perspectives are called an ambigram. Not to be confused is the whole with the palindrome and the anagram. Anagrams are words that are formed from the letters of another word, with palindromes being words or phrases that are read backwards and forwards (for example, Otto, pensioner, storage rack, an ass never read, etc.).
The term is derived from the Latin ambo, which can be translated with both, and from the Greek gramma, which means Scripture. Consequently, the word could be translated with the word sequence of both fonts, which clearly points to what is at issue.
It is therefore a letter [or a symbol], which can be read from both sides. In most cases, this means a lettering which looks identical when rotated by 180 °. In principle, however, other rotations are also conceivable.
Ambigram shows the wording Wikipedia
The above example shows the wording Wikipedia, ie the name of the well-known online encyclopedia, and looks identical for a rotation of 180 °. Since you can see the rotation of the ambigram with your own eyes, you can get an animated representation by clicking on the example.
In principle, ambigrams can be made from every word, although there are, of course, sequences which are particularly suitable for the creation, whereas other characters are rather difficult to represent or appear illegible. In the widest sense, words that are given a different meaning or reflect a new word by reflection also belong to the ambigrams. An example:
The ambigram shows the boy and girl signature
Template: ambigram Boy and Girl by Basilemorin, adaptation: Wortwuchs (CC BY-SA 4.0)
The above example shows the boy and girl lettering and is an ambigram as a whole, since it looks identical to a rotation of 180 °, apart from the coloring. The two English nouns, boy and girl, are however special cases. Because the turned boy becomes too girl and andersherum. Nevertheless, since interpretations are possible from different angles, both are ambigrams.
In recent years, ambigrams in the German-speaking world have become increasingly popular, which can be justified by Dan Brown's bestseller Illuminati. The protagonist of the work, Robert Langdon, is on the trail of the secret Illuminati order, which plans to destroy the Catholic Church. Already at the beginning of his investigations he must look at the body of Leonardo Vetra, on whose breast an ambigram is engraved, which shows the lettering Illuminati. Here is a similar example:
Ambigram (Illuminati)
Original: 180 ° rotational ambigram of the word ILLUMINATES by Björn Wichmann, edited by: Wortwuchs (GFDL 1.3)
This example shows the German variant of the term: thus the word Illuminaten. Moreover, it is astonishing that the cloister is often associated with such symbolism, since there is no evidence that the illuminati used such ambigrams to represent them. It is at most possible that the Radical Enlightenment Order, which existed from 1776 to 1785, served the owl Minerva, which sat on a opened book, which can be interpreted as a symbol of wisdom.
Building an Ambigram
In the examples above, it is clear what is the principle. It is striking that the examples are strongly ornate to function at all. However, there are some letters and combinations of letters that are offered, and others that are complicated, with regard to creating such ambigrams. Furthermore, there are – albeit rare – quite natural ambigrams.
The acronym WM (world championship) as well as the English nouns pod (housing) or NOON (noon) and the international emergency signal SOS (see Morsealphabet) are quite natural. In this case, however, it is essential that the capitalization or lower case is adhered to and a suitable font is used, since the effect will otherwise be spoiled. Such natural constellations are rare in the language.
However, there are letters that are particularly suitable for the creation of such ambigrams, since they either give a different character when they are rotated, or represent a separate ambigram or are easy to vary. Accordingly, b, d, l, m, n, o, p, q, s, w, x, y, z, H, I, N, M, O, P, S, U, , X, Y and Z. Suitable numbers are 0, 1, 8, 6 and 9.
Create Ambigrams
Basically there are no fixed

Besides Troy Night Out, we have the One Dot Zero festival at EMPAC, which brings in Diplo (my personal favorite (!!!)) and Anti VJ (amazing mindbending visuals), among many others. And besides EMPAC, the mash-up kingpin Girl Talk is playing on the other side of RPI. It's ridiculous! If this tweet from Diplo doesn't explain it, I don't know what will.

We're starting at 9:00 with Properly Chilled and Robin Moreau, dropping the sweetness for you all night. Diplo show-goers can come early or head down for the last hour of dancefloor heat (it's the afterparty for the afterparty, ya dig?). And what do you do if you don't have Diplo tickets once Girl talk is out? That's right, Daisy Baker's!

MELBOURNE, Australia — Taiwan has ordered the Orbital ATK 30mm Mk44 Bushmaster II cannon for an indigenous wheeled armored vehicle program, according to its Ministry of National Defense.
The contract for 285 automatic cannons, valued at $112 million, was issued on Sept. 27, according to bid documents seen by Defense News. The ministry announced it two days later. The automatic cannons will be used on an infantry fighting vehicle, or IFV, variant of the CM-32 Clouded Leopard 8x8 armored vehicle.
Ministry officials were quoted by local media as saying that the cannons will arrive "soon" with mass production of the IFV expected to start by the end of the year. Taiwan's National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology will be responsible for designing a two-man turret incorporating the cannon for the IFV.
The cannons will be integrated with charge-coupled device cameras and mount a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun, according to the ministry spokesperson. Taiwan had originally intended the IFV to be fitted with the 20 mm T75 revolver cannon combined with improved armor-piercing ammunition. However, Taiwanese sources told Defense News that inadequate performance of that weapon in tests led the country to seek a heavier weapon instead.
The CM-32 is based on the CM-31 6x6 wheeled armored vehicle designed by Ireland's Timoney Technology Limited and further developed by Taiwan's Ordnance Readiness Development Center.
Taiwan plans to produce 652 Clouded Leopards by 2020 that include an armored personnel carrier armed with a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher and a 7.62 mm machine gun mounted in a remote weapons station as well as a small number of mobile command vehicles used for battlefield command and control.
The 22 ton vehicle carries eight fully equipped troops in its APC guise and is designed to withstand 7.62 mm bullets with the frontal armor designed to defeat 12.7 mm hits. A v-shaped hull provides protection against landmines and can withstand explosions equivalent to 25 lbs of TNT under any wheel.

Well the time has finally arrived to earn my wings. Having been on two programs with both Masters and watched them work, it was time to put my money were my mouth is and prove I was worthy.
As usual it was an early start (did I ever mention I hate mornings?) however even earlier as we had further to travel as we set off for San Zoila - It was a long day, preparing scripts and activities for the group - this all goes on behind the scenes then I try to make it look as smooth as possible, lol.
I took the chance to get to know the group a little, it was a rather nice mix of ages and personalities which helped settle my nerves. I finished my final touches to scripts etc, and then encouraged people to participate in them - well when I say encouraged (I had a role that only THEY could do), which got them to perform; result! This was a great group that seemed up for whatever was asked of them and I was happy about that.
On Monday night we had a few sketches, a relaxation technique by Janelle (a very sweet Aussie) some magic from myself and Simon (another Aussie; far too talented for my liking, lol) rocked into the night on his guitar.
Tuesday was hectic with three sketch's and props to organise as well as me having to at least attempt to outdo Simon (that Aussie guy I mentioned), with even more impressive magic! Tuesday seemed a strange day with only a smattering of applause; not sure if they didn't get the sketches or what?
Wednesday was far better - maybe the ear was opening up now for the Spaniards because they seemed to get most everything this time. There was an AWESOME improv sketch, a mind gym exercise and Simon (the Aussie; said through gritted teeth) had yet again managed to upstage me with his singing and playing skills the night before - so I conceded and decided to teach him and the audience a trick! Well when I say that a trick took place and they had no idea how - but Simon was the Magi in this instance so earnt the credit, which he deserved as he perfectly ad libbed his way through the act.
Thursday nice easy day, trip to town all was going well; TOO WELL!!!! After spending a good three hours putting together a play list for the party to please as many people as possible, I plugged in my hard drive only to hear it POP!! The electrics blew my hard drive - no party!!!
So faced with the dilemma what to do I put the options to the group and like the true group they had become they rallied together using Ipod's to ensure the party went as well as it could be; and it was good! It was also good to see the spirit of the group come together like that.
Friday - tearful goodbyes and photos galore as we all head back to our lives, I do hope this time people will keep in touch, but it is hard for all concerned. Either way it has once again been a pleasure meeting and getting to know a group of total strangers with one objective learning English.
All in all I was very pleased with the results of the program and very happy with what I had managed to achieve and learn - the group also thought so, as they gave me a standing ovation at the end of the ceremony (just to see me cry, dam them!!!)
As usual I have posted photos HERE

Take Flight (Part Four – Hurting)
Kenzie's honesty is tested, whilst Jack contemplates the life choices he has made over the recent months when an all too familiar adventurous desire returns clouding his content lifestyle.
Mind of Mike
Thinking of the Luca Guadagnino film Call Me By Your Name, I remember three extraordinary things: the beyond incredible performances from principle to supporting actors, the stunning cinematography and finally the three breathtakingly beautiful songs by Sufjan Stevens, two of which written for the film. Even as I write this entry I'm listening to a personal favourite: I Walked. Part Four: Hurting has been a tricky instalment to write; I feel in this part, our narrative is beginning to progress, especially with our characters being faced with choices to make that will no doubt lead to repercussions further into the story.
This week, I've definitely got my money's worth out of my Spotify account if not for Mr Steven's discography alone. As well as putting me in a pleasant serenity to write, one song in particular stood out to me: Should Have Known Better. Listening to the lyrics, I felt like it represented Kenzie's current state of mind. I always knew the general background I would give the character, but the song opened my mind allowing me to write the (hopefully) powerful scene where she uses the King Peter IV monument in Liberdade Square to reflect upon her own life. To me, Kenzie is a woman who always envisioned herself being an independent free spirited being I.e. the rider, however, when faced with reality, she is in fact the restricted horse, controlled by someone else whether that is their intention or not.
The song inspired this scene. The idea that Kenzie "should have known better, to see what [she] could see, [her] black cloud, holding down [her] feelings" is Stevens' stripping away her nativity once and for all. As she makes her way over to the car, pausing for a moment to consider her choices, the lyrics "nothing can be changed, the past is still the past, the bridge to nowhere" could not have more importance and relevance. The song also sums up the theme and title of the instalment: hurting. No matter of our age, gender, sexuality or beliefs, we all hurt. Hurting sucks. Some people intentionally hurt, some people don't, but what makes the song that more relevant is that with hurting comes hope; a hope for something better… something that will make the hurting go away, even if only for a moment.
Want to have your opinion or input on the future of the narrative? Comments are welcome via the contact page and will be considered.

NORTH ATTLEBORO, Mass. – North Attleboro went into halftime of its first ever home playoff game holding an 8-5 lead. The Rocketeers had been up 5-1 but Hopkinton had started to get momentum near the end of the half and then used a 4-1 run at the start of the second to tie the game at 9-9. The first tie since three minutes into the game.
First-year coach Mike Vitelli called timeout to settle down his team. While the playoff experience is relatively new for the North program, Vitelli has seen success in the tournament before, winning a South title with King Philip in 2006.
The coach turned to his leading scorer Hana Caster and the UMass-Lowell commit responded with a pair of goals, her third and fourth of the game to go along with two assists, to regain the lead for North.
"I challenged her in the timeout," said Vitelli, "I said, this could be your last game – don't let it be; go out there and make the next couple of plays. True to form, she goes out and she makes the plays."
The Rocketeers would not relinquish the lead, holding off the Hillers 14-12 in Tuesday afternoon's Div. 2 East first round match-up and earning the program's first ever state tournament victory.
"I'm elated for these girls," said Vitelli. "It's their first tournament win and they deserve it. I'm really proud of them. We're excited to keep playing."
He admitted that the team came into the game with a little added motivation after one publication picked the Hillers to earn an upset (as the ninth seed against the eighth). Drawing from New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, Vitelli made sure that it turned into bulletin board material for his players.
"They looked to the newspaper," he said with a smile, "and they saw that the [Boston] Herald had picked Hopkinton in the upset and we'll take that…and run with it a little bit. They drew a little inspiration from that today and it's just fun to be a part of it."
The Rocketeers jumped out to a 5-1 lead, despite struggling with draw controls in the early going. Senior goalie Brooke Ebert helped keep the shorthanded Hillers, who were missing a couple of players with injuries, making seven of her nine saves in the first half alone.
North took advantage of the possessions those saves created with Caster opening the scoring followed by goals from Chloe Olsen, Emily Schromm, Erin Holley, and Mackenzie Rosenberg. After Hopkinton scored to make it 5-2, Caster answered back with a bouncing shot that extended the lead to four.
The Hillers would not go quietly. Three straight goals cut the lead down to one in the final minutes of the half. North answered with a couple of draw controls and goals by Holley and Rosenberg to lead by three at the break.
"You've got a team that plays in arguably the best league in the state," said Vitelli, "they're loaded and they're better than their 9-9 record and we knew that coming in. I knew at 5-1 that the game wasn't over."
Caster assisted on Liz Cooper's first goal to break a two-goal streak by the Hillers at the start of the second half, but Hopkinton continued to press and back-to-back goals by freshman Lydia Rudden tied the game at 9-9 and forced Vitelli into a timeout.
"I called timeout and said it's a 0-0 game, lets go back to what we did at the start of the game and that's win draws," he explained. "We put Chloe Olsen on the draw from that point on and it made all the difference in the world."
Olsen started to win some draw controls and give North chances to attack. Caster made those chances count. She turned a quick transition off a Rosenberg feed into a goal with a dodge and a bouncing shot and then just seconds later smacked the post off a pass from Julia Dakin. A minute later, Caster scored from eight meters and the Rocketeers had a two-goal lead.
"Having played a lot of tight games this year, I didn't feel like the kids panicked," said Vitelli. "It's a fast game, you're going to have turnovers, but I thought we minimized the turnovers and got again stellar goaltending."
Olsen tallied off a cut through the middle but Hopkinton answered in transition. Cooper scored with a turn and shot under the bar, but again the Hillers scored to stay close. Holley added another on a feed from Rosenberg but Rudden came right back with a quick response.
Leading 14-12 with a minute remaining and play about to restart with Ebert in possession, Vitelli called his last timeout. He needed someone to get the ball cleared and he turned to Schromm, who had been one of North's defensive leaders all game along with Alaina Mello and fellow junior Samantha Taggart.
"She has that intangible that you can't coach," said Vitelli of Schromm. "She has speed and speed kills in this game. We called that timeout and she's been running all day but I asked, do you have a 'rocket' left in you? She said, I got it."
In the closing seconds, Schromm scooped yet another ground ball at midfield and ran out the clock to send North Attleboro into the second round for the first time in program history. Vitelli did not hide his joy at the historic moment and led the North bench onto the field at the final horn.
North Attleboro (13-6) will advance to face top seed Walpole at Turco Field on Thursday at 4 p.m.
