Features: Mysterious green wig looks like cool, so personality, you can us it in your daily life, surely be a bright spot in the party.
The color is perfect and the lariat is very large and looks great, is my best is Wigs.
good quality wig, not much shine.
It's so soft, and although you do have to cut the bangs.. It's totally worth it. The bow you bend into place! It's so cute!!
I absolutely adore this wig! The colors are stunning. It's easy to style and just looks beautiful when cut. It came In slightly tangled, but that was easy to fix. The only small problem is that the bow can't really clip around the hair. So I used a hair tie and pushed the clip through the hair tie. Other than that I would definitely recommend this wig to others!
I loooooove this wig, the quality is very good. I will buy from this seller again!
I LOVE THIS WIG!! It's beautiful and silky. The color is also great and very accurate to the pictures. It's very long but very well made. I'm super happy about my purchase.
The wig is long and smooth. It didn't come with the bangs, but I can just cut them. Overall I love how the wig feels, it's really beautiful!!

Q: Checking if a string contains words in a specific order Here's an interesting question, Say you have a list which contains 3 sentences such as:

Bill cat had
Bill had a cat
Cat had Bill

How would I use the .Contains() or any other method to check if the sentences in the List contains words in a specific order, algorithm shown below:

1) Run Sentence List through foreach loop
2) Check if sentence contains words in this order => Bill + had + cat
3) return that sentence

So every other sentence is returned false since the order of words is different. Any ideas on implementing this, folks? :)

A: List<string> ss = new List<string>();
ss.Add("Bill had cat");
string inputstring = "In 2012, Bill had a cat";
foreach (string s in ss)
{
    string[] split = s.Split(' ');
    string regex = ".*";
    for(int a = 0; a<split.Length;a++)
        regex += split[a]+".*";
    Match temp = Regex.Match(inputstring, regex);
    if (temp.Success)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("String \"" + inputstring  + "\" matches");
    }
}

try if this works, this is case sensitive so take that into account

A: try below solution It works.
class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<string> list = new List<string>();
            list.Add("Bill cat had");
            list.Add("Bill had a cat");
            list.Add("Bill had cat");
            list.Add("Cat had Bill");
            Regex rex = new Regex(@"((Bill)).*((had)).*((cat))");

            foreach (string str in list)
            {
                if (rex.IsMatch(str))
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(str);
                }
            }
            Console.ReadLine();

        Console.Read(); // just keep program running when debugged

The closest ever approach to the sun has shown us the origin of solar wind
The first major results from NASA's Parker Solar Probe are in, a little over a year after the spacecraft set the record for the closest approach to the sun by an artificial object.
Parker's big year: Launched in August 2018, the Parker Solar Probe was built to study the sun and make the sharpest observations of the corona (the wreath of ultra-hot plasma that surrounds it). In October 2018, the probe came within 26.55 million miles (42.3 million kilometers) of the sun, surpassing the record set by the Helios 2 spacecraft in 1976.
The mission's first results: The findings from that 2018 approach suggest that solar wind and the sun's magnetic field both originate from cool holes in the corona, where temperatures are 1.1 million °C (2 million °F).
Why it matters: Solar wind could severely damage Earth's electrical grids or other telecommunications equipment. Scientists hope that by learning more about the origin and behavior of solar wind, we can develop early warning systems for solar storms and figure out better strategies to guard against them. Read the full story.

Texas state federal judge has ruled that essential parts of Obamacare which is also called Affordable Care Act (ACA) is unconstitutional as twenty states in the US had argued that the law had become invalid due to new tax rules that were brought in last year. The new law eliminated penalty for not owning health insurance as President Trump had vowed to remove the landmark healthcare law of 2010 which had been designed to make medical cover affordable for everyone. The provisions of this law will stay in place until another appeal for the same is cleared by Supreme Court of the nation.
Though the Republican Party has majority in both Senate and House of Representatives the ACA is still in place though in 2017 the requirement that people should pay a penalty tax or buy health insurance had been eliminated by Congress. Mr. Trump expressed his satisfaction about the Texas court ruling on Twitter and urged Democratic Party members Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to make a strong law that can provide great healthcare to Americans. This ruling came just a day before deadline for ACT enrolment for next year. Judge Reed O'Connor of Fort Worth declared that as the bill passed in 2017 eliminated tax penalties individual mandate was unconstitutional.
He further declared that as individual mandate was critical element of Obamacare it had thus become unconstitutional. He stated that the ruling was based on intentions of 2010 and 2017 Congresses as the former had enacted the ruling while the latter cut the last leg it was standing on. Both Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi had described the ACT as a draconian policy that was based on faulty legal reasons and an assault on Americans seeking access to affordable health care. But the decision would be challenged in US Supreme Court as White House Spokesperson Sarah Sanders said that it would remain in place until further legal developments.

Community Action to Promote Healthy Environments
The proposed Community Action to Promote Healthy Environments (CA-PHE) builds on, and substantially extends, over 15 years of community-based participatory research by the involved partners to understand and address issues of air pollution and health in Detroit. Specifically, CA-PHE will engage community, academic and public health practice partners in research that will culminate in the development and implementation of a public health action plan that reduces exposure to air pollutants, mitigates adverse health effects, and provides additional health and environmental benefits. CA-PHE will increase knowledge about factors influencing exposure to air pollution and health effects, translate findings into a public health action plan, and implement campaigns, interventions and policies to reduce pollutant exposure and mitigate adverse health impacts. It will improve health outcomes and quality of life in vulnerable communities disproportionately at risk for cardiovascular and respiratory disease. The proposed project has five specific aims: Specific Aim 1 : Strengthen, support and enhance the capacity of the community, academic and practice partners engaged in CA-PHE to work effectively together, and to conduct, understand and communicate effectively about the science of air pollution and human health;and of the CA-PHE Steering Committee to provide oversight for, and be actively engaged in, all aspects of the proposed research to action project. Specific Aim 2 : Identify pollutant sources associated with adverse health outcomes, and examine strategies to mitigate these outcomes. Strategies to be examined will include the use of vegetative buffers to reduce impacts from pollutant sources (e.g., industry, highways) to occupied areas (e.g., residences, schools), an innovative and broadly applicable approach with many co-benefits (e.g., noise reduction, thermal cooling, watershed protection, recreation). Specific Aim 3. Develop a multilevel, integrated and scientifically informed public health action plan designed to reduce pollutant exposures and to mitigate their adverse health effects. The plan will be developed collaboratively, engaging individuals with a wide range of expertise (e.g., community organizing, planning, policy, public health, business) to evaluate existing evidence and to develop recommendations for short-, mid- and long- term strategies that reduce air pollution exposure and its negative effects on health. Specific Aim 4 : Develop and implement campaigns, interventions and policies designed to promote the adoption and implementation of the public health action plan to reduce exposure and adverse effects on health. Efforts will be undertaken collaboratively by community, practice and academic partners, and designed to engage community residents, planners, community and business leaders, as well as public health and other local decision makers. Specific Aim 5 : Conduct process and outcome evaluation of the development of the public health action plan, assess the effectiveness and impact of campaigns, interventions and policies carried out as part of the implementation of that plan, and assess the factors that influence the success of these action strategies.

The concept of epitome was first introduced by Jojic et al. as the condensed representation (meaning its size is only a fraction of the original size) of an image containing the essence of its the textural properties. This original epitomic model is based on a patch-based probabilistic approach, and has different applications in segmentation, denoising, recognition, indexing or texture synthesis.
Several epitomic models have been since proposed, such as the factorized representation of Wang et al. dedicated to texture mapping, or its extension designed for image coding purposes by Chérigui et al. The epitome is in this case the union of epitome charts which are pieces of repeatable textures found in the image. The search for self-similar or repeatable texture patterns, based on the KLT or a block matching (BM) algorithm, is known to be memory and time consuming.
In this work, we propose a clustering-based technique to reduce the self-similarities search complexity.
The main steps of the proposed scheme for scalable image coding are depicted in Fig. 1.
The epitomes are encoded with a scalable scheme as an enhancement layer. The blocks not belonging to the epitome are directly copied from the decoded base layer, thus their rate-cost is practically non-existent.
The non-epitome part of the enhancement layer is restored using methods derived from local learning-based super-resolution methods, and can be summarized in the three following steps: K-NN search, learning step, and processing step. These steps are shown in Fig. 2. A first method is proposed relying on Locally Linear Embedding, noted E-LLE. A second technique called E-LLM, based on Local Linear Mapping, is also studied.
Fig. 1 - Proposed scheme for scalable image coding.
Fig. 2 - Main steps of the epitome-based restoration.
The experiments are performed on the test images listed in Table I, obtained from the HEVC test sequences. The base layer images are obtained by down sampling the input image with a factor 2x2, using the SHVC down-sampling filter available with the SHM software (ver. 9.0). The BL images are encoded with HEVC, using the HM software (ver. 15.0). We then use the SHM software (ver. 9.0) to encode the corresponding enhancement layers. Both layers are encoded with the following quantization steps: QP = 22, 27, 32, 37.
For each input image, 3 to 4 epitomes of different sizes are genererated, ranging from 30% to 90% of the input image sizes.
We show in Fig. 3 the Bjontegaard rate gains averaged over all sequences depending on the epitome size. The complete results are given in Table 2. We show in Fig. 4 the RD curve of the City image, which behavior is representative of the set of test images. We first show (left) the RD curve for both E-LLE and E-LLM methods with the biggest epitome size (best RD performances). We then show (right) the RD curve for the E-LLE with different epitome sizes.
Fig. 3 - Average RD performances of the different restoration methods against SHVC depending on the epitome size.
E-LLE and E-LLM methods, epitome size = 91.59% of input image. E-LLE method, with different epitome sizes.
Fig. 4 - RD performances of the City image.
We show in Fig. 5 the running time of the different methods for each image class (i.e. size) depending on the epitome size. On the left, we show the running time of the epitome generation at the encoder side. On the right, we show the running time of the restoration step at the decoder side. Note that the epitome generation algorithm was implemented in C++ while the restoration methods were implemented in Matlab.
Epitome generation running time depending on the epitome size for different image classes. Post-processing running time of the different restoration methods depending on the epitome size for different image classes.

In the table below are listed the exhaustive Bjontegaard rate gains obtained with the proposed methods against SHVC.

Gypsies and Travellers: Facing eviction from a site
Check your rights and where to get help if you're facing eviction from an authorised site or an unauthorised encampment.
Eviction from a permanent site
Most Gypsies and Travellers living in caravans or mobile homes stay on authorised permanent sites owned by a:
private site owner
council or housing association
You can only be evicted from a permanent site if the site owner has a reason and gets a court order.
Reasons you could be evicted
You're at risk of eviction if you:
behave antisocially
fail to pay the pitch fees
don't maintain your caravan or mobile home
You also risk eviction if you don't use the mobile home as your main residence. But most council sites will allow you to travel in your caravan for several weeks each year.
What happens at court
To get an eviction order, the site owner must usually show that:
You've broken a term of your agreement.
They've given you notice of this and a reasonable time to put things right.
There will be a possession hearing where the court looks at what's happened. You can attend with a solicitor or legal representative.
The court decides whether it's reasonable to end your agreement and order eviction.
Eviction from a transit site
Some councils provide authorised transit sites. If you get a pitch on a transit site, you can stay there in your mobile home for up to 3 months.
The council can end your right to stay on the site without a court order by giving you 4 weeks' written notice. They don't need to give a reason.
They can also end your right to stay on the site if you break the terms of your agreement. They must give you notice of what you've done and a reasonable time to put things right.
Eviction from your own land
There is a shortage of authorised permanent and transit sites in all areas.
If you've bought your own land to get around this problem, you need planning permission and a site licence to park a caravan there and live in it.
If you don't have planning permission and a site licence, the council can take legal action to prevent you or others from living on the land.
The council can:
Give you an enforcement notice.
Apply for a court injunction to remove you from the land.
You can usually continue to live on your land unless the council takes enforcement action. This is called a 'tolerated' unauthorised development.
Eviction from an unauthorised encampment
An unauthorised encampment means parking up and living in your caravan in a place where you don't have legal permission to do so, including:
roads, verges and lay-bys
forests, parks and wasteland
farmland and other private land
You'll probably be told to move on by a police officer or council worker. You may be told to move to a transit site in the area.
Negotiated stopping
In a few areas, you could come to a negotiated stopping agreement as an alternative to moving on immediately.
This means that you agree to simple terms such as not lighting fires or leaving waste on the land. And the council agree to a temporary stay - typically up to a month.
Speak to a Gypsy and Traveller liaison officer at the council.
Removal directions and orders
If you don't move on when asked to do so, the council or police might:
Give you a formal direction to leave the land.
Apply for a removal order in the magistrates' court.
The needs of any children on site should be considered before you're given a formal direction to leave.
Failure to leave an unauthorised encampment after a formal direction is a criminal offence. You could be arrested and fined or have your vehicle impounded.
You may have a defence if you can show you couldn't move on due to illness, mechanical breakdown or another emergency.
Homeless help if you're evicted
You count as homeless if you have nowhere to legally park your caravan and live in it.
You can ask the council for help if you're homeless already or facing eviction within the next 8 weeks.
Where to get help and advice
You can get specialist legal advice for Gypsies and Travellers from the following organisations:
Call the Travellers Advice Team on 0121 685 8677
Call Friends Families and Travellers (FFT) on 01273 234777
You may qualify for legal aid if you're facing eviction or already homeless.
Search for specialist services for Gypsies and Travellers on the FFT website

This feature allows you, the user, to easily and quickly categorize the records of different reports. This allows you to do just that without having to create a custom field or creating a formula.
Note that when you create a bucket field in Salesforce you are actually defining multiple categories which are also known as buckets. What this does is it puts different report values into separate groups.

Turning Street Children into Entrepreneurs
The UN estimates that 500 million people around the world are homeless, and UNICEF estimates India alone has 11 million homeless children on its streets (though it is difficult to pin down the figure). In order to survive another day, these children will work in one way or another. While there are many campaigns to ban children from working, and charities dedicated to getting them off the streets and into shelter, the raw fact remains: many of these children slip through the cracks and remain vulnerable, poor and neglected.
Most street children suffer from malnutrition, hunger, health problems, and abuse. They make ends meet by working various jobs or by stealing. While they have dreams, there is no mechanism for them to save for the future. It is a live-for-now existence that, if they survive to adulthood, means they will probably remain homeless and vulnerable.
Street and working children have money: it is a natural consequence of having to be resourceful to survive. But what they don't have is access to banking services or trustworthy financial advice that can help them to gain wealth and move out of poverty and into a brighter future.
The Children's Development Bank in India is one initiative that seeks to turn these neglected children into the next generation of entrepreneurs. The bank works on banking and co-operative principles, where savers are members and joint owners of the bank. Any child can save money with the bank and earn interest, as well as take out loans if they are over 15 years old. It was started in 2001 and was inspired by the Youth Bank in the UK. Interest made by the bank is shared by its members, as with many co-operative banks and credit unions.
The bank is managed jointly by children and adults. The children have a say in how the bank is run and on what conditions it should lend money. They also keep an eye on borrowers to prevent them from running off without repaying loans.
For these vulnerable children, it has many advantages: they can put money aside without fear of it being stolen or lost, save for important things like clothes, or pay for their education.
A key part of the bank's mandate is helping the children build entrepreneurial skills for business. Mentors help the children choose a business model, select an occupation with minimal risk and more benefits, get training and solve business problems.
The bank has branches in India, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka.
Ten-year-old Deepak Prahlad, a street child in Delhi, dreams of being a doctor.
"I know what it takes to be a doctor. I need to study hard and need to save a lot of money," he told the Hindustan Times. For now, he works as a rag picker but has started saving 30 to 40 rupees a day in the Children's Development Bank. The bank has 1,300 members in the city. It pays 3.5 per cent interest on savings accounts.
"Some of them want to fly very high," said Rita Panicker, who helped set up the bank in 2001. "We have been working with street children for the past two decades. Some of these children are very talented and have entrepreneur qualities. One of the biggest problems facing these children was that they did not have a safe place to keep their hard-earned money. In fact, it was the children who came up with the idea of the children's bank. It started with 20 members in 2001 – and now it has 1,300 members in Delhi."
Sudesh, a 15-year-old manager who looks after the bank's current accounts, said: "We are extremely careful about whom to offer loans since we do not want to see our members' savings lost because of bad loans. The skills I have learnt here are going to stand me in good stead in life." Managers are chosen every six months by the children and they compete for the job.

A free tarot cards reading service and political thought/ interpretation for all, also a MAJOR ARCANA tutorial Series. Color Protest.
but this post is especially for pregnant women and new moms. I have noticed that a lot of articles have been written in a variety of topics especially in the topics of love and money but not many have been written about tarot and pregnancy. As a matter of fact in the entire tarot we have only one card depicting a preganant woman and that is of course the Empress.
When I was pregnant I spent a lot of hours with tarot for comfort and pampering and I often use it as tool to lessen my anxiety because of all my fears regarding giving birth, choosing the right birth method, choosing my baby' s best birthday and most suitable name.
The Empress is a card about caring and mothering, planning a family. When pregnant, women are restricted from a lot of things, especially drinking and smoking, partying and even doing excessive sports. Their whole life is full of questions such as how my baby will look like? will my baby be healthy? will the giving birth be painful or complicated? what name will be best for my child?
Tarot can help and offer valuable answers to all these questions.
My advice is.. do not take any risks while pregnant because the health of your baby is the most important thing.
The incredible thing is that the time you spend with yourself while preganant is the most valuable because it gives you the opportunity to reflect on important decisions you will need to take once the baby will be born.
Tarot can be the best tool for managing and planning your life if used correctly. In the upcoming posts I will be showing you how to reflect with the cards on important decisions regarding your new baby and how to use Tarot for "company" and "friend" for your time alone.
In the image above the Duck Soup's Trick or Tarot Empress card.
I must confess giving readings is not what excites me about tarot. In fact,giving readings feels more like a job rather than a passion. I also am conflicting about giving readings in the biblical sense, because the Bible teachings warn against sorcery, so I decided to find a way around it that will give me piece of mind. I believe that reading the future for others, for a profit may be unethical from my point of view.
Therefore, I decided to teach tarot and write about tarot only.
I have noticed a lot of interest in the blog on the post about my writing a tarot book goal. Fortunate enough I am a point where I work 5 hours a day only and I have the rest of the day for myself and for my son s care. So GOOD NEWS: I can work on the tarot book I have been wanting to write for quite some time now.
I will post in this blog a few chapters of my work in progress for feedback.
If you have any other topics you may be interested in please communicate those to me and I just might take them into consideration if they appeal to me.
Now I finally present you which of the Court Cards are dating, attracted to each other or just envious of the other Tarot Court Cards.
Please note my findings are based and inspired by the Tom Little's and Mary K Greer's Understanding the Tarot Cards book.
#1. King of Coins, Colonel Brandon and Queen of Swords, Anne Elliot are in a relationship. Why not? Colonel Brandon is ready to come in and rescue any young lady in financial trouble, and Anne Elliot is a well accomplished lady in need of such assistance. They are also close in age and I truly believe they make a nice couple.
#2 Queen of Wands, Elizabeth Bennett and the Knight of Wands, Mr Henry Tilney are flirting with each other, but the Knight of Wands (Mr Tilney) is also having an affair with the Page of Swords, Emma Woodhouse.
Lets just say that the Queen of Wands is Aries who is naturally attracted to the Knight of Wands, a Leo. Astrologically speaking those two are a good match. As far as the love affair of the Knight of Wands with the Page of Swords I will leave it for you to comment on this below.
#3 The King of Wands, Captain Wentworth is seeing the young and vulnerable Page of Cups, Marianne Dashwood, who is just starting dating.
#4 The King of Swords, Fitzwilliam Darcy and the Queen of Cups, Jane Bennett are attracted to each other. And this is true, because we already know from Pride & Prejudice story that Mr Darcy is considering Jane Bennett more attractive than Elizabeth Bennett at first, and the only reason he is not pursuing her is because his friend, Mr Bingly already showed an interest in her.
#5 The Knight of Cups, Mr. John Willoughby longs after the Queen of Cups, Jane Bennett but she has no interest in him. Mr Willoughby is an incurable charmer and he is especially pursing the sensitive cups lady, but she is mature enough to see through him, and beyond his shallow charms.
#6 Page of Wands, Lydia Bennett and the Knight of Coins, Mr Edward Ferrars are having a platonic relationship. Lydia Bennett is a born flirt but Mr. Edward Ferrars is rather reserved, and very shy, completely unable to pursue a relationship with the daring Lydia. Therefore, their relationship stays platonic.
#7 However, the Page of Coins, Charlotte Lucas is jealous at the Knight of Coins, Mr Ferrars.
#8 King of Cups, Mr Charles Bingley and the Queen of Coins, Elinor Dashwood have a marriage of convenience. Elinor Dashwood is calculated and unfeeling enough to settle for a man of fortune, such as Mr. Bingley.
#9 The Knight of Swords, Frank Churchill is single and jealous at all the other couples.
This concludes the Valentine Court Card Matching, if you want to leave comments below you are welcome to do so... and please feel free to express who you see as a couple or not.
I am very enthusiastic about today' s big day of final reveal of the couples in Tarot Court.
Now, you can read further to the next post where I will reveal inspired by Mary K Greer's and Tom Little's Understanding the Tarot Court book who is coupled with who, and who stays single this Valentine Day.
in previous posts I wrote about the Pages of Wands, Cups and Swords and now I will present you the fourth Page, the Page of Coins.
4. Page of Coins or Maiden of Coins in Jane Austen Tarot is Charlotte Lucas of Pride and Prejudice.
- an opportunity to make money: financial opportunity.
There will be no further tarot court cards added to the blog, but you can receive those on demand by writing in comments or emailing me directly.
On Valentine day will be the big reveal on this blog who gets coupled with who, and who stays single.
So, far I covered in previous posts Pages of Wands and Cups in parts 1 & 2 of Valentine Matching- Pages Tarot Court. Please go back and read about those if you did not have a chance to do so yet.
In Part 3 I will present the third bachelorette, the Page of Swords or the Maiden of Quills in Jane Austen Tarot.

I am a tarot blogger since 2009 and I use tarot cards to tell stories and to journal. I am enthusiastic, a free spirit and I lived in the US for 20 years (moved back home) and traveled already to many countries. I am very creative, unpredictable and an excellent observer that uses interdisciplinary subjects to communicate ideas/ to convey emotions/ to prompt actions and to manifest desires- in this sense I am female magician. I am searching for friends with a shared interest in spirituality and psychic development. Together we can open our senses, mind and heart to possibilities of good fortune.
This came out so true! In fact it discribed me so closly I decided to put it under my profile. I encourage you to take this test.

Q: sending mails using MailMessage class - Limitations OF BCC and CC counts? i have a list (1,000,000 emails addresses) of my customers and i want to send them an specific email (all of those emails are the same) using MailMessage calss.
is there any limitation(s) about Ensemble Emails using this class or global rules about this issue for spammers?
also is there any limitation about bcc and cc count ?
can i send one email with one million bcc addresses?
thanks in advance

A: you are deeply wrong in your approach:

*

*do not bother this 1.000.000 customers with same not customized emails, surely not all of them are interested in the same service or product (btw I doubt they are really all your customers, if you have so many customers you had an IT department and people who knew the answer);

*bcc is not to be used in general except rare cases;

*if you put 1.000.000 email addresses in the bcc or cc field, it will probably explode in the SMTP server and even if not it will take ages to send and deliver and you will have more metadata than the real email content.

*just do not do it, if you want to do smart marketing or ninja/viral marketing select a subset of those customers aggregating by business or by other factors (location, needs...) and contact the smaller subset with a real offer interesting only for those.

A: No idea bout downvote.
But the restrictions on No. of ids in a mail is usually restricted by the Email Server's admins at server side. If your having probs sending all at ones, just break it down to chunks.
Again, if your using an authenticated way to send an email (supplying pass and unames), then your email server wont treat you as spammer so you can send the emails as your wish.
Btw, please note that billion email ids at 1 shot is a huge pain for your server unless its a server farms like google has :)

A: One million emails? Use constant contact or mailchimp or other 3rd party service (rackspace now offers it to).
Even if you could create and send it, you'll end up blacklisted or destined for the spam folder of a very high percentage of intended recipients.


Type in Easter on your Internet search engine and colored eggs, bunnies and such pop up.
How confusing Easter must seem to someone searching or to other countries etc.
This is my Easter letter.
Read it through and prayerfully you might be blessed.
If the thought of God, or me sharing my faith offends you, please feel free to delete this letter and I'll look forward to sharing another "Gardening For Wildlife" newsletter next Monday.
Since I have decided to listen to God and began to follow his desires for me, I have seen Nature (his gifts) and people in a whole new light.
It is amazing what we can see and hear when our eyes and ears and especially our heart are open to God.
Imagine what we can dream, feel and visualize when our heart and mind are open to His will.
I am so Awe struck and thankful at what my God has given me, and I thank you for allowing me to share with you.
If you know anything about me, you know that Spring is by far my favorite time of the year.
After a long winter in Michigan, of snow, cold, and sometimes weeks of sunless days, who wouldn't look forward to a change.
Winter does play a part in my appreciation for Spring, but it is much more than that.
I have always believed that Easter or Resurrection Sunday is in the Spring for a reason.
Even in my younger days when I knew about Easter, but didn't know Jesus.
There was and is something special about spring and new life.
Spring brings forth new life every where we look.
We can't wait for spring.
As the days grow warmer, the grass turns green.
Flowers begin to bloom and trees and other plant life wakes up.
Insects wake up and eggs hatch.
Baby animals appear all over again.
You may even plant a few seed yourself.
You might even see of feel love in the air.
Love.... another life giving moment.
Everyone is familiar with the smells of Spring, but do you ever think about these smells?
If you think about it, many of your favorite spring smells are life giving or from life giving things and moments.
The intoxicating aromas of hyacinth and lilacs.
The fresh smell of the earth as we dig in.
Birds become more active, frogs begin to sing, some critters wake from hibernation.
Do you ever wonder why the events leading up to and including Easter Sunday happened in the Spring?
Temperatures begin to warm up.
Spring brings hopes and promises of new life.
Resurrection Sunday gives all of us that chance of a fresh start.
God, through his son Jesus promises new life to us if we ask him for forgiveness and into our hearts.
We are celebrating, or remembering the most important week in the history of man.
From the entrance on Palm Sunday, The Last supper to His arrest, trial, crucifixion, burial and Resurrection of our Lord.
No other period in time has had a greater effect.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth and everything within the universe.
And God said, let Us make man in Our image after Our likeness.
This wasn't some last ditch effort by God.
"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; HE shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel."
"Is this the man who made the earth tremble, Who shook kingdoms?"
The stage is set and God is waiting for the right time to send Jesus to save his people.
All through the Old Testament, God needed sacrifice of animal blod and flesh from His people.
He required the aroma of blood and burning flesh.
The death of a pure and unblemished animal.
He insisted that we praise Him and Him only.
With all that He showed his people, most continued to fail and choose false gods.
And all through this time, the 'Christ Savior' is mentioned by the prophets.
Jesus our Savior is born in the most humble of settings and lived a humble life of hard, physical work (he was a carpenter's son).
When it was time, He was tempted in every way possible.
40 days in the desert, without food and water, Satan tempted him.
The man that knew no sin was tempted in ways that we are tempted everyday.
He had to be tempted and he had to pass the tests in order for Himself to understand what we go through in out daily lives.
After the 40 day test, angels ministered to His needs.
When Jesus started his ministry, He chose common people like Peter and John.
A tax collector in Matthew, considered by many as the scum of the earth back then.
He socialized and ministered to the poor, the weak, harlots, the not so good people.
As He said, "it is the sick that need a physician, not the healthy or well to do".
This man Jesus, could calm the seas.
Spirits knew Him in the distance and would flee by His word.
He cast out evil and could raise the dead.
Had He not called him by name, the whole cemetery would have gotten up and come forth.
How difficult it would be to know every thought from everyone around you.
I can't imagine what it would be like in our humanness to know when and how I am going to die.
Even though Jesus is God the Son, He is every bit human in the flesh too.
Satan goes through all the trouble to set a trap for Jesus.
To destroy the Son of man.
God in all of his wisdom confused Satan and his evil band or he never would've had gone through the scheme to have Jesus crucified.
With the death and resurrection of Jesus foretold, Satan still was too blind to see.
Through God's great wisdom, He has confused Satan so he is clueless as to what is really going on.
A sacrifice, once and for all would be god's only Son.
God saw victory through Pure Love.
Through this all, Jesus makes it very clear that He is giving up his life, that it is not taken from him.
Freely giving his life for you and me.
That He is walking in God the Father's will and this must happen for man kind.
The Pure Love of Our God At Work.
On Palm Sunday the masses were cheering Him on, calling His name as they threw there garments and palm branches on the ground.
By Friday, many of these same people (paid off and strong arm tactics) were calling for his death.
Jesus, still teaching and pleading to his disciples.
Praying for them in the garden of Gethsemane before His arrest.
Arrested like a common criminal, the man that knew no wrong was going to trail.
Even then, He healed the ear of a soldier that was cut off at that time.
Harassed, beaten beyond recognition, denied by Peter, beaten some more.
Wearing a crown of thorns in total mockery.
Naked and humiliated, he was nailed to the cross.
Crucifixion is one of the most repulsive, disgusting and cruel ways to die in all the history of man.
Crucifixion was a criminal's death, not that of an innocent man.
God's timing had it so Jesus, would die this kind of death.
Again, dead flesh and blood sacrifice.
This time, God did it for us.
The last and final covenant.
God's promise is about to come true for all of mankind.
I'm not saying this is true or even the case, but I believe Jesus died, when he did, of a broken heart, not simply from the pain and suffering.
Yes, I know He was hanging on a cross in pain and yes He was beaten half to death.
However, Do you recall when Jesus said in Matthew 27:45-46 "My Father, why have you forsaken me"?
Right after that he said "It is finished" and He gave up His spirit.
I think the separation from His Father broke His heart and shortened His painful human existence on the cross.
A relationship so close and intimate, that Jesus was lost without His father.
At that moment, the skies darkened and the earth shook. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
Mark 15:38 The curtain separated the Holy Place from everyone but the high priest.
The Holy Place was where the presence of God dwells on the mercy seat.
The curtain was a constant reminder to the Israelites that their access to God depended on another physical human, and that this access was only granted through the physical works of the sacrificial system.
God was in such a rush to leave the constraints of a man made temple, that He tore the curtain on the way out.
Because of the ultimate sacrifice on the cross of Calvary, we now have access to God through Jesus Christ, who is the mediator of the New Covenant.
Three days later, something very special happened.
The stone was rolled away and our Lord was walking the earth.
He ascended to Heaven, to our Father, to complete his task.
If you recall, Mary wasn't allowed to hold him until he ascended to Heaven first.
Satan may have thought he had won the battle, but there was no battle.
Words that can create a universe and everything within .
Words spoken and the keys of death are handed over to Jesus.
Nothing can keep Jesus down.
Okay, so we have death and sacrifice, but what good is it if we don't have life.
Jesus arose on Sunday, the 3rd day as he sad he would.
Victory in His hands and promises, and victory for you and me if we believe.
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.Through this ultimate love sacrifice, you and I can walk in victory today.
Imagine, becoming children of the most high and living God.
If you haven't taken the time to ask Jesus into your heart, there is no time like the present.

Before I go, here are some Positive thoughts for the week and life ahead.
A Blessed Christ filled Easter Sunday and we will be back on Monday.
A Blessed Resurrection Sunday to you.

A: Whenever you print a list, you will see the __repr__ of those objects instead of __str__, so one way could be to override the __repr__ method to get your desired output, as for example:
def __repr__(self):
    return str(self)

Another way could be to use a list comprehension when you format your string as follows:
class Manager(Employees):
    def __str__(self):
      return '{self.emp_id}: {self.first_name} {self.last_name} |Pay - ${self.pay} - {[str(x) for x in self.employees]}'.format(self=self)

The leaders were accompanied in the tribune at the foot of the monument to National Hero Jose Marti by other top officials from the government and the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), as well as personages, intellectuals, members of the diplomatic corps, trade union leaders and activists from several countries.
Hundreds of thousands of people paraded in Havana at Revolution Square and millions did the same nationwide in all 15 Cuban provinces under the slogan 'Unity, Commitment and Victory', which was launched by the Cuban Workers' Confederation (CTC) for its 21st Congress.
In recent statements, CTC General Secretary Ulises Guilarte noted that today's popular mobilization is a show of support for the Revolution, the new leadership of the country and the historic generation that has led the social justice project for decades since January 1, 1959.


The prompt for today was "Gifts from the heart". What your loved one has given to you.
Well, of course my love has given me five beautiful children.
But it's not just that he's given me children… but also that he's given me time with them.
He has given me the gift of being a stay-at-home mom. He's also given me the gift of trust, as I also homeschool our babies, too. It's something I was raised with… but not him. But he trusts my abilities to teach our children.
It is huge! He has a huge heart.
That's why we love him, too.
we love Jeff too! And the 5 beautiful children :) You got a great shot - they are all looking and they have smiles!
This is such a happy shot - I love it!
You do have a wonderful husband. :D And beautiful kids.

Netflix says Staunton 'The Crown' casting reports 'pure speculation'
LONDON (Reuters) – Netflix has dismissed as "pure speculation" media reports that British actress Imelda Staunton would portray Queen Elizabeth in future seasons of "The Crown", saying it was filming the fourth series and had yet to commission future installments.
Several outlets on Friday quoted a Daily Mail report saying the 63-year-old screen and stage actress had been "approached by senior producers and casting directors" from the hit show to portray the British monarch from her mid-60s.
Oscar winner Olivia Colman made her debut in season three of the show on Sunday, where a new cast picks up the story about the British royal family from the mid-1960s.
Actress Claire Foy won a Golden Globe for portraying the younger version of Elizabeth in the first two series that began with the princess ascending the throne aged 25 in 1952.
"We are currently filming season 4 of "The Crown" but have not commissioned any further seasons as yet, therefore any news on casting remains pure speculation," a Netflix spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
Colman will continue playing Elizabeth in the fourth series of the show alongside actress Helena Bonham Carter, who portrays Elizabeth's younger sister Princess Margaret.
Staunton is a veteran theater, television and film actress, known for her Oscar-nominated role in "Vera Drake", playing Dolores Umbridge in the "Harry Potter" films and taking to the West End stage for musicals like "Gypsy" and "Guys and Dolls".
The actress will star in the musical "Hello, Dolly!" next year, producers of the West End show said on Friday.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump announced Friday that he plans to nominate William Barr for attorney general, and confirmed reports that former Fox News anchor Heather Nauert is his pick to replace Nikki Haley as U.N. ambassador.
If confirmed by the Senate, it would be Barr's second stint as head of the Justice Department. He served as attorney general from 1991 to 1993 under the late former President George H.W. Bush.
Barr would succeed former attorney general Jeff Sessions, who resigned under pressure in November.

Grizzlies coach Fizdale and staff rise above early-season challenges
Grizzlies coach David Fizdale and his staff extracted the most they could out of an injury-depleted roster.
Grizzlies coach Fizdale and staff rise above early-season challenges Grizzlies coach David Fizdale and his staff extracted the most they could out of an injury-depleted roster. Check out this story on commercialappeal.com: http://memne.ws/2AwSLX8

When adversity hits an NBA team, it's normally wrapped in injuries, player unrest or a locker room rebellion towards the coach.
The Grizzlies entered Saturday night's action with a 7-4 record to start the regular season without hitting a panic button on the injury front. Memphis played a difficult first month of the regular season without three rotation players yet established status among the top four teams in the Western Conference. While the Oklahoma City Thunder still search for greatness, the Grizzlies own a 6-0 record against teams figured to make the playoffs in Houston, Golden State, Portland and New Orleans.
Credit head coach David Fizdale and his close-knit, veteran staff for responding with a measured approach that allowed the Grizzlies to weather an early-season storm.
"Last year taught me a lot. I really tried to learn everything I could from last year," Fizdale said. "We had our moments last year when we were down to nine guys. So, you have to figure out how to use them and put them in a position to succeed. As a coach, that helped me going into this year in terms of being prepared if we're banged up. It's a credit to the other guys and how they've kept it together and kept us playing at a high level."
Put Chandler Parsons in a position to succeed
Fizdale knew that forward Chandler Parsons' four-year, $94 million contract was inconsequential. Parsons didn't need to start. He didn't deserve to start. Fizdale entered training camp with a plan to bring Parsons off the bench as the backup power forward. Parsons, who is coming off three knee surgeries in three years, responded by performing as one of the Grizzlies' most efficient players on offense. He's also surprised opponents with active hands and wily defense. Parsons no longer gets a participation award. In limited minutes, he's reminding people that he's an all-around basketball player.
Never hesitant to shake things up
Fizdale & Co. tried to buy time for the return of guards Ben McLemore (foot) and Wayne Selden (quad) from injuries by using Andrew Harrison at shooting guard. The experiment didn't work out because Harrison played the worst basketball of his career. He couldn't score in the Grizzlies' new free-flowing offense. Harrison, whose calling card had been above-average defense, got exposed for his lack of speed and quickness with the Grizzlies' commitment to switching everything on defense. Fizdale inserted rookie Dillon Brooks into the starting unit after a two-game losing streak. The move proved to be effective as Brooks has been much less of a drag on the first unit because of his motor and competitive spirit.
Knew when to build up players and tear them down
There were several times, even after a win, when Fizdale chided his troops for disrespecting the game and taking opponents lightly. Losses to Dallas, Orlando and Charlotte brought out the fire in Fizdale. But Fizdale supported his squad following a recent road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He applauded their fight and constructive huddles, striking a balance between harsh coaching criticism and compliments that go a long way towards building trust and chemistry. The positive reinforcement led to an impressive road win at Portland two days later.
Never forgot to emphasize the grind
Jarell Martin, the Grizzlies' starting power forward by default, went three straight games last week without helping the team at all. Most notably, Martin went scoreless in those outings playing in place of JaMychal Green (ankle). Fizdale approached Martin to find a solution to the situation.
"I talked to him. He was just really playing uptight, not to mess up," Fizdale said. "I told him free your mind and fly around and be athletic. If your mistakes are aggressive mistakes, I'll live with them. He took it to heart."
Martin came out and grabbed eight rebounds while also flying around on offense last Tuesday night with an effort that helped the Grizzlies beat the Portland Trail Blazers. Fizdale and his staff have installed confidence in Martin, Brooks and James Ennis – all role players who have been instrumental in a favorable start to this season.
Fizdale seems almost amused by onlookers who want to believe that the Grizzlies' grit-and-grind era is dead.
"Grit and grind is our organization," Fizdale said. "It's our city. It's our history. That's just in our fabric. It's not something that we get to change from year to year. It's who we are. Style of play can be adjusted. Different players can show up. But grit and grind will always be a part of who we are."
