Q: Editable WKWebView I am displaying .html and .xml files in WKWebView.
I am concatenating all the data and displaying below string in WKWevView
sourceWebView.loadHTMLString(sourceHtmlStr, baseURL: nil)

I made my webview as editable using below, after loading the content i.e in

webView(_ webView: WKWebView, didFinish navigation: WKNavigation!){}

singleWebView.evaluateJavaScript("document.body.setAttribute('contentEditable','true')") { (anyObj: Any?, error: Error?) in
   if anyObj != nil{
       print("AnyObj in jave script : \(anyObj!)")
   }
   if error != nil{
       print("Error in Java script : \(error!)")
   }
}

Above code made the WKWebView as editable. But i am not sure how to save the edited values.
I followed Link  and used below code
i have below code in .js file
var richeditor = {};
var editor = document.getElementById("editor");

richeditor.insertText = function(text) {
    editor.innerHTML = text;
    window.webkit.messageHandlers.heightDidChange.postMessage(document.body.offsetHeight);
}

editor.addEventListener("input", function() {
    window.webkit.messageHandlers.textDidChange.postMessage(editor.innerHTML);
}, false)

document.addEventListener("selectionchange", function() {
    window.webkit.messageHandlers.heightDidChange.postMessage(document.body.offsetHeight);
}, false);

in WindowDidLoad:
guard let scriptPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "RichTextEditor", ofType: "js"),
   let scriptContent = try? String(contentsOfFile: scriptPath, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
else {
   print("Unable to find javscript for text editor")
   return
}
singleWebView.configuration.userContentController.addUserScript(WKUserScript(source: scriptContent, injectionTime: .atDocumentEnd, forMainFrameOnly: true))

let configuration = singleWebView.configuration
[ShowPreviewWindowContoller.textDidChange, ShowPreviewWindowContoller.heightDidChange].forEach {
   configuration.userContentController.add(WeakScriptMessageHandler(delegate: self), name: $0)
}

and added below method :
func userContentController(_ userContentController: WKUserContentController, didReceive message: WKScriptMessage) {
   switch message.name {
   case ShowPreviewWindowContoller.textDidChange:
       guard let body = message.body as? String else { return }
       delegate?.textDidChange(text: body)
   case ShowPreviewWindowContoller.heightDidChange:
       guard let height = message.body as? CGFloat else { return }
       self.height = height > ShowPreviewWindowContoller.defaultHeight ? height + 30 : ShowPreviewWindowContoller.defaultHeight
       delegate?.heightDidChange()
    default:
       break
    }
}

This way of implementation is not saving the edited data.
Also to note here is i don't have "editor" element in the html string.
i am not  really sure what all elements the html string has as the file is not a constant one, elements can be anything.
Sorry for the long question.
Please let me know on how to implement this.
Editing WKWebView, saving the edited text back.
Also i will be having lot of strings like below, i need to make sure i replace into exact element
<trans-unit id="0000000006" datatype="x-text/xml" restype="string">
    <target>Some Text here</target>
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="0000000007" datatype="x-text/xml" restype="string">
    <target>Some Text here</target>
</trans-unit>

I am using below HTML string, Please note i really don't have any control on html, i display what ever user selects.
Edit : Added modified htmlstring
<!doctype html>\n

Jackson Office's Annual "Shoes That Fit" Drive Aids 37 Students of Luther Branson Elementary
The Adams and Reese Jackson office held its annual HUGS "Shoes That Fit" Drive and donated shoes and socks to 37 students of Luther Branson Elementary in Madison County as employees donated shoes, book bags, socks and school supplies to students in need.
The mission of the "Shoes That Fit" school drives that take place across the nation is to provide students with much-needed new shoes so that they can go to school in comfort and with dignity and focus on their studies rather than their circumstances.
Luther Branson Elementary is one of the more than 200 organizations that the Adams and Reese employee volunteer program, also known as HUGS (Hope, Understanding, Giving and Support), donates thousands of hours and untold dollars to offer communities "hands on" activities and assistance to those less fortunate. Whether in the form of special events or participation in agency-sponsored fundraisers, Adams and Reese employees and attorneys are known throughout the region and the nation for their community action.

Growing up, we all learned that money doesn't grow on trees. Here's another hard truth: the federal government is not giving away thousands of dollars in grants to people who pay their taxes on time, have no criminal records, never declared bankruptcy or were 'selected in a demographic survey.' Anyone who claims you'll get 'free money' for those reasons is trying to scam you.
The scam starts with a call from a 'spoofed' phone number that seems to be from Washington, DC. The caller gives an official-sounding agency name like the 'Federal Grant Education Department' or 'US Grant Commission' and may know your name and address. When he finishes blabbing about the money you'll get, there's a catch: he wants you to pay a transfer fee or application fee, give him your bank account number, or send a check before he sends the 'grant.' Save yourself time and money. Don't respond.
GovLoans.gov lists federal loans available for housing, disaster relief, education, veterans and other purposes.
Thanks for these info.. truly helps.. I was saying how you giving Grant's theres a government shutdown???
These are good details to include in a complaint. Please report this to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. The information you give will go in to a database that law enforcement uses for investigations.
and when they are done they tell you you see,we deposit the money into your account go return the difference wich the calculate to be the your original balance.That's what they did to me,and when I check directly from the bank,there was no deposit.SCAM SCAM SCAM.
I applied obline for a government grants, I was contacted from two different parties claiming I was granted monies. They gave me a name of RONNIE KINGSTON GOVERNMENT ID:USFG2069. I received this call on Tuesday, November 3,2015. I received calls last week also claiming the same thing.
we are asking loan on Parkinson's research pass one year.But not answered yes or no.If you say no we will be happy people on this earth.Because we have lot of work to do after getting loan.we have to work hard on our research to bring raw-medicine to America to save many life there.we are going to private medicine company to sell our Parkinson's disease project how we cure Parkinson's disease.please leave us we can not wait like cow for grass.Day are passed.thank you.
we have sent many message to IRS and FTC .thank you.
Thank you for this service, we tell or friends to get on your list.
These people must lie awake nights dreaming up this stuff.
The ftc is really helpful. Thank you.
BERNIE: Only you can read & understand this stuff for the college student loans and other scams.
Which link do I use to apply for research grants involving shrimp running on treadmills?
In the recent past I had 5 of the above mentioned calls - increasing each time in the amounts offered. Each person calling was told by me that they were scammers and don't call back-all callers Asian until the last call was a white women trying to sound business like thinking I guess that she sounded legit,I laughed at her & said you have to be kidding. Call #4 was an Asian man who tried to intimidate me and I told him when documentation showed up from Treasury-Grant dept then I would verify his claim and if ok would talk to him. He got mad, it turned into a yelling incident and I hung up. Just e-mail FTC and let them know whats going on. These creeps are really rotten.
The blog is about flagrant lies scammers tell about fake grants.
I sent an email and asked general questions. How does the process work? How do you qualify? Do I qualify. What does the grant funds have to be used for specifically etc... (red flag) What I thought was strange is after sending my email I went out of town and didn't check my personal email again for about a week. (red flag) Philip Mathew responded rather demanding indicating they had responded to my original email and they needed my personal information ASAP. (red flag) The email they sent didn't answer any of my questions but again demanded my personal information ASAP to receive my funds. Another red flag was no real documentation required other than just send personal information through email. The Federal Government always wants documentation and lots of it.
This is America, nothing is FREE!!!!!!.
I just received a call similar to this stating that I am eligible for a grant from the government if I go down to a MoneyGram store...I got disconnected a short way into the conversation after I mentioned that I had not applied for a grant. Seemed like a scam to me. The number I was supposed to call was a Washington number (202) 599-8791. Be wary please.
If you want a grant for education or other reasons, use the free federal government resources listed in the blog post.
If you get a call out of the blue, and the caller says you won a grant, or are eligible for a grant, or might be eligible for a grant, BUT you have to send money or give your bank or credit card account number first, don't get involved.
This FTC blog post says more about grant scams.
Over the past 2 months, I've received at least 3 calls from non-working numbers that appear to be calling from Los Angeles or Washington, D.C. Each caller, who has a thick Middle Eastern or Indian accent, claims that I have been randomly selected to receive a government grant. Previously, I've asked how they got my number and told them to remove it from their call list. This morning's call, however, was from L.A. But he said he was in Washington, D.C... The caller spoke with a thick Middle Eastern accent, claimed he was with the Department of Health in D.C., and asked for banking or credit card information in order to receive the grant. He asks how I'd like to be paid and I said I would not and that I wanted my number removed. He urged me that I "could do this," but I said there's no way I'm giving personal information because I didn't trust him, his so-called company, or the idea that the American government would issue an $8500 grant by telephone and the worker responsible for contacting me would speak with such a thick foreign accent. When I continually refused and pressed him on how they got my number, he accused me of "not trusting [my] government," claimed I should be ashamed, took offense that I accused him of trying to scam people, and again, said I should be "totally, totally ashamed to call [myself] an American. Don't fall for it, people. I share this to warn others and to update the FTC on the details of the calls that American consumers are receiving.
I revved a letter from the United States Department of State stating the Passport Dept is conducting a survey of information of passport holders to update their information. I was to do this even if I was going to apply for one or not, My passport had expired a long time ago. If I did not fill out their form they would call me. I ignored the letter and a month later. I record another one which I also ignored. Then got a call that rang about 4 times and then hung up. Caller ID. said Passport study. I called the Passport. Dept and they knew nothing about sush a letter. Another scam to get personal info.
You did the right thing by checking with the legitimate agency. This might have been a scam to get your personal or financial information.
In the last two weeks, I have received three of these calls. Two of them were "awarding" me $7000 and one, $9200. The first person who calls does not ask for any information other than verify your name. They give you a Grant Information ID# and a phone number to call their Senior Financial Officer to verify all your information and make arrangements for payment. That is as far as I let it go. I am sure if you call that number they will try to get all your pertinent info.
I got a call from 214-414-1037 from a foreign man claiming his name to be Jamie Walters. He told me that I was chosen randomly out of 1700 people and that I have a government check in the amount of 9200.00. Just need to go to money gram or a western union and call them back when i get there and they would take me step by step on what to do next. He gave me another number to call 206-201-2683 I called it and a foreign woman named Michelle Smith answered and she gave me more info. She told me that I need to send 200.00 from western union and then she would send me the 200.00 back making my fund 9400.00. I was feeling uneasy bout sending the 200.00 dollars so I asked if there was another government agency that I could talk to and she connected me to her supervisor which I pretty sure that it was Jamie Walters. His name was William Floyd and again he was a foreign man as well. I asked him if he could give me a number to a government agency that I could verify that this was not a scam and he could not. He said his agency was out of Washington D.C. named "Triple H". I pray that this will help you out so that you can stop these people.
Please report this to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint. The information you give will go into a database that law enforcement uses for investigations. The details you can give are helpful.
I have been getting the same calls if I send them 200 dollars I will receive 9000 in Grant Money. Glad I found out it is a scam.

Absinthe has produced a dramatic comeback nowadays after being restricted for up to a hundred years practically in most of the European Union and North America. Absinthe is an alcoholic drink that is primarily made of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) as well as other herbs. Absinthe is also known as the www.absinthe-drink.com green fairy was first formulated in Switzerland by a French doctor Dr. Pierre Ordinaire in the 19th century as a digestive tonic.
In the nineteenth century, absinthe was the most popular drink in France. It had been supposed to serve as an imaginative stimulant and was patronized by great writers and painters such as Vincent Van Gogh, Edgar Allan Poe, Ernest Hemingway and Oscar Wilde. The beginning of the 20th century saw absinthe being restricted for most European countries and the United States. Herbs such as green anise, wormwood, and Florence fennel are classified as the main ingredients. A great many other herbs such as Melissa, hyssop, angelica root, sweet flag, dittany leaves, star anise, veronica as well as other mountain herbs are also used in making absinthe.
The best possible absinthe is manufactured using natural herbs and doesn't consist of any artificial colors or flavors. The herbs are ground and absinthe is extracted by way of the distillation process. The pale green colour of typical absinthe is caused by the chlorophyll contained in the herbs. The herb wormwood comprises a very mild neurotoxin called thujone. The thujone content may vary in different brands of absinthe. In certain brands of absinthe, the quantity of thujone is negligible whilst in others it might be as high as 35mg/kg. International standards call for alcoholic beverages to contain no greater than 10mg/kg of thujone. Bitter spirits can contain as much as 35mg/kg of thujone.
A good quality absinthe drink will show louche effect when water is included with it. High quality absinthe will show steady turbidity or opaqueness as ice cold water is added to it. The louche effect is the outcomes of precipitation of essential oils present in the herbs. Absinthe has large alcohol content and it is never taken neat. It is to be diluted with ice cold water and sipped slowly and gradually.
traditional and non-traditional methods to put together the absinthe drink. The more common strategy is called as the absinthe ritual. In the French absinthe ritual an oz of absinthe is poured inside a glass plus a special absinthe spoon is maintained on the glass. The absinthe spoon is even and perforated, a sugar cube is added to the spoon after which ice cold water is dripped in the sugar cube, as the cube of sugar dissolves in water it falls within the glass through the perforations in the spoon. As soon as the sugar cube is entirely dissolved, ice cold water is put in the glass, the drink stirred using the spoon and then sipped slowly.
The Czech ritual is a bit more fun and interesting. Absinthe is poured in a glass, and then a sugar cube is placed on the absinthe spoon. The spoon together with sugar cube is then soaked in the glass in order that the sugar cube to soak up absinthe. The spoon will then be kept flat on the glass and the sugar cube lighted. As the sugar caramelizes and melts, it falls in the glass by way of the perforations in the spoon. Ice cold water will be combined with the absinthe, stirred while using spoon and the absinthe drink is set.

Q: How to study asymptotic behavior, built-in functions My question is as follows. Suppose we have a function $f(r)$ and we want to study its asymptotic behavior at infinity ($r\rightarrow \infty$). For example, the function may reduce to $-\frac{a}{r}$ or $b e^{-cr}$ at infinity. How do I identify the constants $a,b$ and $c$ using Mathematica? Or, more generally, how do I identify the asymptote of a function? Can anybody point out useful built-in functions?
I am interested in the function:
$$
f(r)=-\frac{\sqrt[3]{3} e^{-2 r/3}}{\pi ^{2/3}}-\frac{\sqrt[3]{2 \pi } e^{2 r/3}}{5 \left(\frac{3 \sqrt[3]{\pi } e^{2 r/3} \sinh ^{-1}\left(2 \sqrt[3]{2 \pi } e^{2 r/3}\right)}{5\ 2^{2/3}}+1\right)}
$$
or
f[r_]:=-((3^(1/3) E^(-2 r/3))/\[Pi]^(2/3)) - (E^(2 r/3) (2 \[Pi])^(1/3))/(
 5 (1 + (3 E^(2 r/3) \[Pi]^(1/3)
      ArcSinh[2 E^(2 r/3) (2 \[Pi])^(1/3)])/(5 2^(2/3))))

I expect this function to have -$\frac{1}{r}$-behavior. How do I check it? I am not interested in a numerical value of the limit (which is 0), but rather in a function the original function reduces to at infinity.
P.S. Using Mathematica for a week

A: You can use the Limit function:
f[r_] := -((3^(1/3) E^(-2 r/3))/\[Pi]^(2/3)) - (E^(2 r/3) (2 \[Pi])^(1/
         3))/(5 (1 + (3 E^(2 r/3) \[Pi]^(1/3) ArcSinh[
         2 E^(2 r/3) (2 \[Pi])^(1/3)])/(5 2^(2/3))))
Limit[f[r], r -> \[Infinity]]

...which returns 0. Plotting shows that this is correct:
Plot[f[r], {r, 1, 10000}, PlotRange -> All]

A: Another possibility is to use new in M12 function AsymptoticSolve:
sol = AsymptoticSolve[y==f[r],y,{r,Infinity,4}]

{{y -> (-8 r^3 + 12 r^2 Log[4 (2 \[Pi])^(1/3)] -
18 r Log[4 (2 \[Pi])^(1/3)]^2 + 27 Log[4 (2 \[Pi])^(1/3)]^3)/(8 r^4)}}

Compare to Vaclav's answer:
Series[y /. First @ sol, {r, Infinity, 4}] //TeXForm

$-\frac{1}{r}+\frac{3 \log \left(4 \sqrt[3]{2 \pi }\right)}{2 r^2}-\frac{9 \log ^2\left(4
   \sqrt[3]{2 \pi }\right)}{4 r^3}+\frac{27 \log ^3\left(4 \sqrt[3]{2 \pi }\right)}{8
   r^4}+O\left(\left(\frac{1}{r}\right)^5\right)$

A: f[r_] := 3^(1/3)*Exp[-2*r/3]/Pi^(2/3) - (2*Pi)^(1/3)*
   Exp[2*r/3]/(5*(3*Pi^(1/3)*Exp[2*r/3]*
         ArcSin[2*(2*Pi)^(1/3)*Exp[2*r/3]]/(5*2^(2/3)) + 1))

In this case you might just observe that there is a commonly appearing expression Exp[2*r/3]. Substitute in a enw variable and expand a series at infinity in both variables. Then replace the substituted variable.
g[r_] := f[r] /. {Exp[-2*r/3] -> 1/y, Exp[2*r/3] -> y}

hh = PowerExpand[
  Normal[Series[g[r], {y, Infinity, 1}, {x, Infinity, 1}]] /.
   y -> Exp[2*r/3]]

(* -(4/(3*(Pi - (4*I*r)/3 - I*(4*Log[2] +
                   (2/3)*(Log[2] + Log[Pi]))))) +
   (3^(1/3)/Pi^(2/3) + (40*2^(2/3))/(9*Pi^(1/3)*
             (Pi - (4*I*r)/3 -
          I*(4*Log[2] + (2/3)*(Log[2] + Log[Pi])))^
               2))/E^((2*r)/3) *)

This should give a good idea of the behavior at infinity.
There are ways of making this algorithmic. I won't pursue that though.
This result captures the asymptotic behavior quite well, I will say. Here's a quick numeric check.
f[111.]

(* Out[252]= -0.000181229 - 0.00876831 I *)

hh /. r -> 111.

(* Out[263]= -0.000181229 - 0.00876831 I *)

By the way, it would be most helpful if in future you use actual Mathematica notation rather than provide only a LaTeX form that needs to be translated.

A: When Series is not applicable, we can use a cycle of Limits
fun = f[r] (* for f[r] see above *); ser = 0; c = 0; Do[fun = (fun - c)*r;
c = Limit[fun, r -> Infinity];
ser += c/r^k, {k, 1, 4}]; Print[ser]

We get an asymptotic expansion with more terms
$$-\frac{1}{r} + \frac{\log (128 \pi )}{2 r^2} - \frac{9 \log ^2\left(4 \sqrt[3]{2 \pi }\right)}{4 r^3} + \frac{27 \log ^3\left(4 \sqrt[3]{2 \pi }\right)}{8 r^4}$$

Q: Automating bucket fill actions on transparent layer in GIMP Using GIMP, I am attempting to generate a large number of the same image but with different colors.  In order to preserve the "shadowing", I am using the below steps.  These steps get me exactly what I want in the end.  The problem is, it's very tedious repeating them by hand over and over.  There has to be a better way.
GIMP's batch scripting seems a little daunting, so I'm hoping to get some suggestions on how to automate this.  Basically, what would be nice, is I'd like to essentially specify an array or list of colors...and then "automagically" perform the steps below to generate the output with the desired color.
Steps I'm doing by hand...
1.) Load a base PNG file that has an alpha channel.
2.) Add a new transparent layer.
3.) Activate the layer.
4.) Change mode to "multiply".
Then, for a range of different colors, I do the following...
5.) Select a foreground color.
6.) Apply bucket fill (fill similar colors, fill transparent areas, default threshold, fill by composite).
7.) Save the new PNG.
8.) Go to Step #5.
Here's kind of a cheesy representation of the effect I'm trying to achieve...

I'm also open to other non-GIMP suggestions as well.
Thanks for any and all help and suggestions.

A: I can offer you a nice Javascript example that do this.
try:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/9304367/1726419
there is a link there that actually do what you wand in JS - you can translate it to many other languages...

Przetrwać w Nowym Jorku (ang. The Basketball Diaries) – dziennik literacki autorstwa Jima Carrolla opublikowany w 1978.

Jest najbardziej znanym dziełem pisarskim autora, traktującym o jego młodości spędzonej na ulicach rodzinnego Nowego Jorku, gdzie dorastał w niezamożnej rodzinie. Miał szansę na karierę koszykarską, którą zaprzepaścił po serii konfliktów z prawem i po wpadnięciu w uzależnienie od narkotyków. Autor wnikliwie obserwował nowojorską rzeczywistość lat 60. XX wieku, a jego dziennik stał się kultową pozycją wśród amerykańskiej młodzieży akademickiej owych lat. Zapiski obejmują czas od jesieni 1963 do lata 1966, a więc okres, gdy Carroll był nastolatkiem (narrację zaczyna w wieku 13 lat). Fragmenty dziennika publikowane były w latach 70. XX wieku na łamach The Paris Review, wywołując duże zainteresowanie czytelników, a także zyskując przychylne przyjęcie Jacka Kerouaca.

Książka była inspiracją dla filmu Przetrwać w Nowym Jorku z 1995 z Leonardem DiCaprio w roli głównej, wyreżyserowanego przez Scotta Kalverta.

Back once again (at last)
I was in the supermarket today, and the first thing I saw was a pile of pizzas for LESS THAN HALF PRICE!!! Simultaneously, I had two thoughts:
That must be actually true. They couldn't get away with it otherwise.
Or have they just gone for such a brazen lie that I'm going to think, That must be actually true. They couldn't get away with it otherwise?
Then I thought, I doubt Goebbels runs the marketing here; let's just buy a pizza.

I was there, kid. That's not how it went down.
I mean, I was there. Not James Murphy. Though he probably was, too. I saw Pavement touring their first album, the epochal Slanted and Enchanted, at Edinburgh's late and legendary venue, The, er, Venue.

I haven't written much on the blog recently that's directly about Brexit. Partly, the reason is that I'm continually hearing news stories and vox pops and politicians and business leaders on the radio banging on about it and I'm thinking –

A Year In Review – Pt.1

Times Fly (Fast)
Time is social. Harvests. Day and night. Diurnal clocks. Biorhythms and cycles. All that mushy wetware bio stuff I never learned but is real.
Long-suffering reader of the blog paul
The winter solstice was on Friday, and now we're beginning the long dig out towards the long evenings of summer. So, as is traditional, let's sit down in front of a big gold piano and reflect on the year.
Yaas, Kween!
As the annus horribilis that was 2018 dragged to an end, it seemed that 2019 could only be better. The Queen's appeal that we put divisions behind us and simply make the best of what we had seemed like it was going to usher in an annus mirabilis as the newly refitted HMS Britannia prepared to begin its buccaneering voyage across an expectant world.
At home, Theresa May announced that she would be combining her passions of hiking and hating immigrants Doing Her Duty to the country by meeting the Hard-Working People of Our Precious Union™ at the top of the highest peaks in each of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
"Theresa, do you remember that lovely new visitors' centre atop Mount Snowdon?"
After the unexpected cancellation of the Mays' trip to Snowdonia in Wales, they set off for Ben Nevis in Scotland in traditional wear for the English visitor on a day trip to the Scottish mountains – Theresa in leopard-print kitten heel hiking boots, and Dishy Philip in his preferred Savile Row suit and hipster glasses. As May Maynia gripped the country, enthusiastic Scots began their trek up the mountain…
After the disappearance of the Mays in Glen Nevis, another popular favourite had to take to the House of Commons to announce the delay of the Meaningful Vote on the outcome of the UK's Brexit negotiations with the European Union.
"The Government intends to proceed with the meaningful vote as soon as the Prime Minister is able to return to this Place" – Deputy Prime Minister David Lidington
Then, just as it seemed that the fabric of British society would rupture notwithstanding the desires of the Queen, the people were united by the empathy engendered by the release of the paperback of an astonishing new memoir on 22nd January…
"Are you sure that every word in this Year in Review is true?"
As the search for the Mays continued, questions began to be asked about the costs that were being incurred. Secretary of State for Scotland David Mundell indicated that he would resign if the costs of the rescue operation exceeded £30,000.
When it was pointed out that Mundell had previously backtracked on promises to resign relating to Brexit outcomes for the Common Fisheries Policy and differentiation for Northern Ireland, he upped the ante considerably.
"Let me be absolutely clear: In the event I don't resign, I'll resign."
As Brexit-related turmoil continued, Gatwick Airport entered its fourth month of flight cancellation. After police had announced in December that the drone that had caused 140,000 passengers to be stranded at the airport simultaneously:
had been discovered; and
had never existed
it emerged that Gatwick itself had never existed. The so-called airport was merely a hoax conjured by mentalist and illusionist Derren Brown. Each of the 140,000 stranded "passengers" was in fact a paid actor. Brown himself had travelled in time to turn-of-the-century Ohio to deliver the plans for powered flight to the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur.
Derren Brown and Wilbur Wright, 1903
Meanwhile, popular favourite David Lidington returned to the House of Commons to update the country on the status of Brexit.
"We must honour the PM by effecting the moment of her greatest triumph on 29 March, 2019"

We're at the fag-end of August, almost six years after the moment that set off the series of events that would change Mrs Stroke Bloke's and my life forever. But no doubt we'll get to that in due course.
For now, the Edinburgh Festival has just finished and the smell of sulphur from the massive closing fireworks display that rattled our windows last night is fading.

Tamil Nadu opens shutters of Mullaperiyar dam due to rising water level
In a statement, the district administration said nine shutters of the dam, which were initially opened at 7.45 pm by 60 centimeters each, were raised by 120 cm (1.20m) to release 12654.09 cusecs of water.

Idukki: Tamil Nadu opened nine shutters of the Mullaperiyar dam on Monday night in view of the rising water level in the reservoir and shut down three of them after 10 PM, the Idukki District administration said here.
Thereafter, three of the shutters were shut down at 10.00 PM and six were kept open to release 8380.50 cusecs of water, it said.
The Tamil Nadu authorities had raised the shutters to 120 cm after the water level of the over a century-old dam reached 141.90 feet at 8.30 pm.
Kerala Water Resources Minister Roshy Augustine, who was present at Idukki, told reporters that rescue forces have already been deployed based on information received from the Tamil Nadu government.
He said that this issue of water being released at night would be raised before the Supreme Court.
The minister also said that he will be present at Idukki to help with the rescue efforts and to persuade people to evacuate to camps wherever necessary.
Meanwhile, the Idukki district administration sounded an orange alert as the water level in the reservoir there touched 2401.12 feet.
The authorities also expect further rise in water level in Idukki reservoir due to the excess flow of water to it from the Mullaperiyar dam.
They said that if the water in the reservoir rises excessively, one shutter of Cheruthoni dam will be raised at 6.00 AM on Tuesday from 40 cm to 150 cm.
The District Collector said that people in the area below the Cheruthoni Dam and on both sides of the Periyar should be extremely careful. The Mullaperiyar dam, built in 1895 on the Periyar river in Idukki district of Kerala, is operated by the Tamil Nadu government for its irrigation and power needs. Kerala has been insisting on building a new dam, citing safety concerns, but Tamil Nadu is against it, saying the present structure is strong.

One of the main reasons I started this blog was because I love looking back on the past. I love seeing where I used to stand, and allow God to remind me how far He's taken me.
Recently I've been thumbing through old journals and last night I read the first page that started it all my sophomore year of college. At the time I was going through a lot of pain and withdraw from an emotionally abusive relationship that turned physical one time earlier that year. I wasn't in a great place, and I was seeking God, hard.
The thing I love most about re-reading these journals, besides seeing all that God has grown me in and brought me through… is that I seem so young. So filled with life and childlike faith. No matter what season I'm in, I'm thankful and awed that, whether it's heartbreak, longing, pain, joy, praises, miracles, disbelief… I still have a childlike faith that my God is faithful and has my back.
This gift is a practical gift. Those with this gift often scare other people with their confidence. People with this gift are often very irritated by criticism, as they consider it to be criticism against God and His will. Probably the biggest danger for those with this gift is that they often try to project their gift onto other people.
Scriptures: Acts 11:22-24; 27:21-25; Romans 4:18-21; 1 Corinthians 12:9; Hebrews 11.
I find that hilarious, because as I grew stronger in my faith in college, I seriously questioned why other people doubted God more than I did. Even to this day I get a little frustrated when people question how I know what the Lord's voice feels like in my body, and my ability to sense and discern when the Spirit is moving and speaking to me.
As I grew more in my spiritual gifts, I started to learn that not everyone is created like me, and I started to learn how beautiful of a fact that really is!
One of my close friends and co-small group leader for our high school girls, Mary, is one of the most servant-hearted people I know. Dishes need to be done after a Young Adult event? Mary's on it. Things need to be cleaned up? Who's on it? Mary. You're short a little cash for a candy bar? Mary's got you covered.It's amazing how God has created her to be so humble in looking out for the best interests of others!
Every one of us is given all the spiritual gifts, but some might be stronger and more present in us than others. But because we are all one body, the strengths of another can challenge our own weaknesses to become strengths. Service has never been a strong gift of mine. But by being around others who are not like me, it's challenged me to step up and grow in those weak areas.
As I've learned that people aren't like me, I've prayed more that God would use me to point them back to Him in ways that are unique in my gifts. I understand that God has given me a gift of faith that isn't like others, and I love to pursue a childlike faith in the way He uses me in other people's lives by just being myself. Where others might question and doubt, that He would use my confidence in Him to encourage others. Whether through visions, prophecy, or just His wisdom and intercession.
I encourage you to take the Spiritual Gifts test, and pray on your results! He has graciously blessed everyone with these gifts, and we should recognize them for what they are – powerful and impactful! They might not look like someone else's gift, but they are incredible, helpful, and encouraging.
Next postOh no, she's awake.
I LOVE THIS. Sometimes we question why our faith sends us in different directions than those we love, but have to remember that every relationship with Jesus is different and requires us in unique respects.

This study was carried out to investigate the oil potential of peanuts for domestic and commercial uses. Peanut oil yield and the physico-chemical properties of extracted oil were investigated on different temperatures (50, 55, 60 and 65 °C) and sun drying. Results showed maximum oil yield of 47.2 % at sun drying and lowest values of 37.0 % at 65 °C. Highest and lowest acid values are 25.52 and 5.89 mg/KOH/g at 60 °C and 50 °C respectively. The Free Fatty Acid (FFA) content were obtained 12.76 and 2.94 mg/g at 60 °C and 50 °C, while saponification values were 61.71 and 32.25 mg/KOH/g at 60 °C and 50 °C respectively. The highest Peroxide value of 92 mg/KOH/g was recorded at 55 °C which dropped to 43.4 mg/KOH/g at 65 °C. Refractive index (RI) and density were not changed significantly (p≤0.05) on all temperatures, while pH was somewhat higher on 50 °C. The moisture content was found lowest up to 3.0 % on 65 °C while highest was 5 % on 50 °C.

Q: Building XML from ColdFusion I am building some XML within ColdFusion to send data to QuickBooks. I am able to build my variable with my data from a <cfoutput> fine. Like this:
<cfoutput query="get">

<cfset #x# =
'
<InvoiceAddRq>
<InvoiceAdd>

    <CustomerRef>

        <ListID>XXXXX</ListID>

    </CustomerRef>

    <ClassRef>

        <ListID>XXXXX</ListID>

    </ClassRef>

    <TxnDate>2010-11-04</TxnDate>

                <InvoiceLineAdd>

                    <ItemRef>
                        <ListID>XXXXX</ListID>
                    </ItemRef>

                    <Desc>XXXXX</Desc>
                    <Quantity>XXXXX</Quantity>
                    <Rate>XXXXX</Rate>

                </InvoiceLineAdd>

</InvoiceAdd>

</InvoiceAddRq>
'
>

But I need to create XML where I loop through line item details with <cfloop> inside of the <cfset>. This is what I am trying to do:
<cfoutput query="get">

<cfset #x# =
'
<InvoiceAddRq>
<InvoiceAdd>

    <CustomerRef>

        <ListID>XXXXX</ListID>

    </CustomerRef>

    <ClassRef>

        <ListID>XXXXX</ListID>

    </ClassRef>

    <TxnDate>2010-11-04</TxnDate>

        <cfquery name="getDetails">

        </cfquery>

            <cfloop query="getDetails">

            <InvoiceLineAdd>

                <ItemRef>
                    <ListID>XXXXX</ListID>
                </ItemRef>

                <Desc>XXXXX</Desc>
                <Quantity>XXXXX</Quantity>
                <Rate>XXXXX</Rate>

            </InvoiceLineAdd>

        </cfloop>

</InvoiceAdd>

</InvoiceAddRq>
'
>

This is obviously not working right because it is seeing the  and the  as attributes of the XML. I am trying to figure out how to write some XML then do my query and loop to get the line item detail then go back into XML. I am stumped on how to do this.
I hope this makes sense and any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: You can try <cfxml> or <cfsavecontent> to build your XML string.
cfxml:
<cfxml variable="your_xml_var" caseSensitive="yes">
  <InvoiceAddRq>
    <Anothertag>
    </Anothertag>
    <cfloop query="your_query">
      <Somedata foo="#your_query.bar#">
      #your_query.blah#
      </Somedata>
    </cfloop>
  </InvoiceAddRq>
</cfxml>

cfsavecontent:
<cfsavecontent variable="your_xml_var">
  <InvoiceAddRq>
    <cfloop query="your_query">
      <Anothertag />
    </cfloop>
  </InvoiceAddRq>
</cfsavecontent>

A: Try wrapping your xml building in cfoutput and cfsavecontent  If you are in a .cfm or .cfc file, it should not think that cfquery or cfloop (or any cf~ tag for that matter) is actually part of the xml, that will be stripped out while the page is being executed.

A: Depending on the version of CF you are using you may want to 'roll your own' response and simply generate the XML string manually.  If you want to output the XML to the screen, make sure to do a reset so you don't send anything but the raw XML to the screen.  Also, ensure CF Debugging is turned off when viewing w/in the browser otherwise the output will not display properly.
<cfsilent>
<cfset retVal = "">
<cfquery name="get">
      DO SOMETHING HERE
</cfquery>
<cfloop query="get">

<TITLE>Review for Carnival of Souls (1962)</TITLE>

Carnival of Souls (1962)

reviewed by
Dustin Putman

Carnival of Souls     * * * 1/2 (out of * * * * )

Directed by Herk Harvey.
Cast: Candace Hilligoss, Frances Feist, Sidney Berger, Art Ellison, Herk
Harvey.
1962 - 75 minutes
Not Rated (equivalent of a PG or PG-13 for ghoulish images).
Reviewed April 2, 1999

Made in 1962 on a shoestring budget of only $15,000, Herk Harvey's
"Carnival of Souls" is not a perfect film by any stretch of the
imagination, but when considering its low-budget and amateur actors, it
turned out about as good as could possibly be expected. The film is like
a nightmarish puzzle, one that you think you've figured out, but really
haven't until the final twist arrives in the last scene.

The film begins abruptly, as a carload of young women are challenged to
a drag-race by some guys. While passing over a narrow bridge, the
women's car accidentally loses control and plunges into a deep river.
Hours later, as the police have arrived and are attempting to find the
car in its deep watery grave, one of the passengers of the ill-fated
car, Mary Henry (Candace Hilligoss), miraculously appears climbing out
of the river. Not remembering anything about the accident, and looked
upon by everyone as a miracle, Mary immediately moves to a small town in
Utah to play as the church organist. She rents out a room from a kind,
elderly landlady (Frances Feist), meets and is somewhat charmed by the
other resident of the home, John Linden (Sidney Berger), and attempts to
begin putting the pieces of her life back together. Everything is not
perfect, however, as Mary begins to frequently see a ghoulish,
frightening phantom figure everywhere she goes, even though no one else
claims to see anything. Is it simply a hallucination, sparked from the
trauma of the car crash? Not only that, but Mary also begins to feel a
sort of connection to an adjacent, closed-down, desolate amusement park.

At a decidedly too-brisk 75-minute running time, "Carnival of Souls"
moves at a gradual, dream-like pace that makes it almost impossible not
get caught up in the proceedings. And although only with a miniscule
budget, since its release, the film has quickly become a cult classic
for all horror afficionados. Even George Romero has mentioned, in fact,
that he got his idea for 1968's "Night of the Living Dead" from
"Carnival of Souls," and it is obvious that so did David Lynch when he
made "Blue Velvet," "Twin Peaks," and "Lost Highway." That these
filmmakers were influenced by such a "petty" movie from the early-'60s
proves of the extraordinary power that the film ultimately holds, both
in its storytelling techniques and glorious style.

Candace Hilligoss, an unknown who was cast in the lead role, contains
just the right amounts of vulnerability and strong will to bring Mary to
life as a sympathetic character. One of the major highlights of
"Carnival of Souls" is the magnificently atmospheric, brooding
black-and-white cinematography that paints the settings, including the
unforgettable images of the somehow off-kilter amusement park, as major
characters themselves. The sequences of Mary simply walking around the
eerie park, which is out on the dock of a bay, are some of those rare
moments in motion picture history that will forever be ingrained in my
long-term memory.

The story goes that director Herk Harvey scratched the money together to
make "Carnival of Souls," but never made another film again. That's
really too bad, since he obviously was a major filmmaking talent and I
would have loved to have seen a sophomore effort. Ultimately, Harvey
died in 1996, but left, in his memory, his one and only film, a movie
that affected, as well as inspired, many different people, thanks to its
untarnished storyline and visual expertise.

Note: Viewing this motion picture right before its direct-to-video 1999
remake, I was appalled to see how much the '90s version trashed the
memory of this classic. By complicating the story from its originally
simple premise, the makers of the '99 edition simply made everything
feel contrived, as well as frustrating and confusing. And, tellingly
enough, the original "Carnival of Souls" is also infinitely more
disturbing, even though it was made thirty-seven years ago. It's aged
very well.

Some 420 Nigerians will arrive in the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Tuesday via two chartered flights while another 160 would come back on Thursday.
The return fights are often supervised by the International Organization for Migration and they are done for the trapped migrants who willingly choose to go back to their home countries.
Many groups of migrants have returned to their countries over the last year via the IOM programs, mostly from Nigeria, Niger and Somalia as well as Chad.

I need some clarity on what I need to develop, what I can get from 3rd party to save time. AWS looks to cover all the encoding and delivery http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/streaming/, but I'm confused on the process on which I should record and delivery the content to S3. Just to much information overload.
In all my research I looks like I should build a WebRTC, which I have done, then transport that data with javascript from the clients browser to my server, and thus to AWS. Is this the best format, or should I been using a 3rd party thats putting more time into that element?
I have seen the Kurento project, as well as this RecordRTC project.
Like I said, I'm finding there is just to much information overload on the topic.
So what are my options for:

*

*In browser recording with WebRTC. Anything else I should do or just force users to roll up to a supporting browser?

*WebRTC means I have to do Javascript for the delivery, is node a better option for the server to take delivery of this streaming data?

*Anything else I need to know before I pass it off to S3 for delivery to the cloud front?

As you can see the core of my question comes within the recording and transporting the data to the web server so I can delivery it for streaming.

A: I am looking for the same thing.
In 2020, it seems it should be possible with RecordRTC and then uploading blobs / multiform data directly to S3.


Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners are extremely useful gadgets that should be present in every household where knick knacks of every kind are present. These gadgets effectively clean coins, watch bands, key chains and more. Objects that are prone to rust, gather dust, are used only occasionally and are made up of metals can be duly cleaned by ultrasonic jewelry cleaners. Ultrasonic cleaning has proven to work best with hard jewelries like gold and platinum are not advised for cleaning pearls, opals, emeralds, corals, in other words, soft pieces of jewelry.
Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners consist of two fundamental components. One is a small motor and the second is a cleaning tank or tray. To use the cleaning mechanism, you have to plug in the electronic device in any socket around your house. Then fill up the tank with lukewarm water or a cleaning agent like detergent, non-ionic substances, or ammonia. Avoid any cleaning solution with bleach or acid that may wear off the item.
Now place the article that you want to clean and turn on the motor. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners work through a process called the cavitation procedure whereby more than 40,000 vibrating sound waves are emitted in the water or solution, producing countless number of miniscule bubbles that collide with each other and also with the article and rid them of their dirt. The cavitation process is absolutely best because its vibrating motion enables the liquid to reach places in the item kept inside that other machines fail to reach. When the process is finished, the liquid with all the dirt is replaced with clean water. The item is rinsed again and then towel dried.
There are many brands of ultrasonic jewelry cleaners that are compact, portable, come with additional features and accessories and offer great prices too. Two of them are discussed below.
Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner cleans jewelry items in a few basic steps. First warm water or a cleaning solution is poured to fill up the cleaning tank. Cleaning solutions can be made up of non-ionic, detergents or ammonia. While buying a solution keep in mind that any cleaning agent that consists of acids and bleach should never be used as that can mar the jewelry piece.
Now soak the jewelry piece into the cleaning solution or warm water. When you turn on the machine, the Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner produces 40, 000 sound waves per second which create microscopic bubbles, the process known as cavitation, in which these bubbles collide with one another and with the item. The cavitation process of the Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner effectively penetrates any tiny gap in jewelry that conventional mops and topical cleaners fail to reach.
When the process of cleaning is done with, the motor is turned off and all the dirt slowly settles at the bottom of the tray. Throw away the dirty water and put fresh water. Rinsing the jewelry piece again, you can now dry them with a fresh cloth.

This article gives an overview of the hardware requirements for a MythTV system.
As you probably know, Linux will run on pretty much anything. MythTV relies on the FFmpeg codecs for any video handling, which are heavily optimized for the x86 architecture. Due to this, modern 64-bit processors from AMD and Intel are the preferred basis for a MythTV system. Older 32-bit AthlonXPs and Pentium 4s, low power VIA systems, and the increasingly common ARM systems, should be avoided.
All recording through MythTV is performed by the backend. The backend can handle as many tuners as you can physically fit in the system, and if that is not enough, you can run multiple backends located on additional hardware to expand your capabilities. Each simultaneous recording and Live TV session requires a tuner input. If you want to have padding on back-to-back recordings, you need additional tuners. Note that only one backend is needed on the network, and additional PCs can be configured as frontends with no local capture card.
Some users will have access to IPTV based off the FreeBox model, for which MythTV can use a virtual network tuner. Most users will need some form of digital tuner. North American users need ATSC whereas European, Australian, Japanese and South American users need DVB. Both IP and digital television makes use of streams compressed by the broadcaster. MythTV merely copies this data to disk for pristine, lossless quality.
For users with no access to digital broadcasts, or broadcasts restricted by encryption, analog capture devices are needed. Cheap capture devices are called framegrabbers, and require independent capture and software encoding of audio and video. Very cheap ones cannot capture audio, meaning they must be used with a separate sound card. These are nothing but a hassle to deal with. The recommended type is a hardware encoder. These will output compressed MPEG files similarly to how the digital tuners behave.
Depending on your needs you will want one with HDMI (monitor/most HDTV screens) or DVI-D / DVI-I (projector/LCD/plasma/HDTV screens).
Whilst the basic hardware configuration is simple, with this being the world of PC hardware and Linux, there are a million and one options that you may wish to take into account.
A P4 2.4GHz machine can encode two 3300Kbps 480x480 MPEG-4 files and simultaneously serve content to a remote frontend.
A Pentium Celeron 600 MHz with a Hauppauge PVR-150 can record and playback MPEG-2 material simultaneously.
An important addendum applies to all of you wishing to use HDTV with a PCHDTV card. Playback of HDTV is computationally intensive, and requires a Pentium class processor of at least 1.3GHz or equivalent in conjunction with a graphics card with accelerated drivers. Pretty much any system built in the last two years with an nVidia graphics card will be fine.
frontend - the bit you (hopefully) see on your screen, which handles the display of the interface, decoding and playback of audio/video streams and user interaction (such as remote controls).
Most people first opt for a combined frontend/backend, which means running the frontend and backend software on the same machine. Other configurations are a single backend and multiple remote frontends, and multiple backends connected to multiple frontends. If this all sounds confusing, read on.
If this box is living in a social area, such as under the TV, you're probably going to have to jump through a few hoops to get it nice and quiet.
The ideal solution to these problems is running mythbackend and mythfrontend on separate machines.
Whilst most households are content with a single backend with one or two TV cards, if you want to provide TV to multiple frontends simultaneously, you're going to require a large number of TV cards which your single backend won't be able to support. Here we simply add more backends into the fray, and again network them up in such a way that all the Myth machines can talk to one another. This essentially provides you with TV that is limited pretty much only by your wallet!
Advanced configurations can include making diskless (as in no hard drive) frontends which can boot over the network which makes for a very quiet machine, and storing/loading content from machines that have nothing to do with MythTV whatsoever. Again to cite my own example, the mythbackend boxes store all of the TV content, but the database lives on my Debian file server, as does all of my music and video content. Shares have been set up via NFS or Samba so that the backend machines can access the files from the file server, and pass them along to the frontends.
As you can see, given enough machines to play with, MythTV can be expanded to do pretty much anything!
File Storage: How much disc space will I need for all this?
Network: How much network bandwidth am I going to need?
Cases: Found a nice case that integrates with your stereo components?

Sony pushes Uncharted release, pulls Masters of the Universe
"I haven't thought that far ahead."
Following reports of Ruben Fleischer being a prime candidate for the director role of the Uncharted film, it seems the movie has been pushed back. Revealed late Friday, Sony has admitted the initial release date of December 18, 2020, isn't likely to happen. Instead, they've bumped the movie's release to March 5, 2021.
This is far from shocking, Uncharted has been having a rough time as of late. After all, it's seeking its seventh director after Bumblebee-famed Travis Knight ducked out earlier this month over scheduling conflicts with its lead, Tom Holland.
On top of the release date change for the game-based film, Sony's Masters of the Universe has been taken off the schedule with an undetermined release date. The film was majorly written by Aaron and Adam Nee and would follow the all-powerful He-Man battling it out against evils such as Skeletor.
Uncharted will now be releasing March 5, 2021, making a reasonable about three-month difference.

Rabat Mdina and San Anton Gardens Group Tour with St. Paul's Catacombs
Home MALTA Tour en La Valeta Rabat Mdina and San Anton Gardens Group Tour with St. Paul's Catacombs
Más en La Valeta
This group tour includes transport, local guide & Catacombs Ticket.
San Anton Palace is a palace in Attard, which is the official residence of the President of Malta. It was originally built in the early 17th century as a country villa for Antoine de Paule, a knight of the Order of St. John. The palace was used as a residence by subsequent Grand Masters, being enlarged a number of times in the process. It was the headquarters of the rebel National Assembly during the uprising of 1798–1800, and it later became a residence for the Civil Commissioners, Governors and Governors-General of Malta. It has been the official residence of the President since the office was created in 1974. The palace is surrounded by the extensive San Anton Gardens, parts of which have been open to the public since 1882.
Rabat is a town in the Northern Region of Malta. The name of the town is derived from the Arabic word for 'suburb' as it was the suburb of the old capital Mdina. Rabat is home to the famous Catacombs of St. Paul. These catacombs were used in Roman times to bury the dead as, according to Roman culture, it was unhygienic to bury the dead in the city Mdina and parts of Rabat were built on top of an ancient Roman city. The Maltese Catacombs were never meant to be hiding places during persecutions or as living quarters. The Catacombs of St. Paul are now looked after by Heritage Malta. Part of St. Paul's Catacombs, the part accessible from the Parish church which is dedicated to the same Saint, was where, according to tradition and as recorded in the Bible, St. Paul stayed for three months when he was shipwrecked on the island in 60 A.D.
Mdina also known by its titles Città Vecchia or Città Notabile, is a fortified city in the Northern Region of Malta, which served as the island's capital from antiquity to the medieval period. The city is still confined within its walls, and has a population of just under 300. The city was founded as Maleth in around the 8th century BC by Phoenician settlers, and was later renamed Melite by the Romans. Ancient Melite was larger than present-day Mdina, and it was reduced to its present size during the Byzantine or Arab occupation of Malta. During the latter period, the city adopted its present name, which derives from the Arabic word medina. The city remained the capital of Malta throughout the Middle Ages, until the arrival of the Order of St. John in 1530, when Birgu became the administrative centre of the island. Mdina experienced a period of decline over the following centuries, although it saw a revival in the early 18th century. At this point, it acquired several Baroque features, although it did not lose its medieval character. Mdina remained the centre of the Maltese nobility and religious authorities, but it never regained its pre-1530 importance, giving rise to the popular nickname the "Silent City" by both locals and visitors. Mdina is on the tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and it is now one of the main tourist attractions in Malta.

I would have given 5 stars but I felt the Tour guide was rushing us through the tour. That plus a young baby was crying and screaming during most of the tour made it quite unpleasant.

The overall trip was good but the transportation requires a little more time to give the participants more time in the catacombs during daylight hours and before closing. Maybe it's better if the majority of travelers meet at a more central location so the bus drivers don't have to travel all over town just picking up and dropping off travelers. That poor bus driver! Pick up and drop off takes up a considerable amount of time for multiple tours. Wasn't impressed with the gardens, nice to see the palace for the president but there wasn't much to see in the gardens. Seeing the catacombs was great and we're glad we went but for the price and time we could've gone on our own but we wouldn't have heard the background from the tour guide, she was knowledgeable and gave us insights into the history of Mdina and Malta in general.
