Kayi made the top 16 tying with Miss Ecuador to win the fast track event, Beauty With A Purpose. By winning this award, she automatically made the top 16, becoming only the third Miss Hong Kong to make the semifinals in 20 years.

She also won the Miss Friendship award, the 4th consecutive Miss Friendship award won since 2004. Her win makes Hong Kong, the nation to win the most Miss Friendship awards at Miss International (6 in total - 1981, 2002, and 2004 to 2007) and the most congenial titles at any international beauty pageant.
Miss Chinese International: The winner, #3 Kayi Cheung represented Hong Kong at Miss Chinese International 2008 where she won 1st runner up title. She is the eighth Miss Hong Kong to take 1st runner up and the first Miss Hong Kong to make the top 3 since Mandy Cho in 2004.

Shigir Idol
The Shigir Idol (Russian: Шигирский идол), is the most ancient wooden sculpture in the world,[1] made during the Mesolithic period, around 7,500 BCE. It is displayed in the "Historic Exhibition" Museum in Yekaterinburg, Russia.[2]
The idol was discovered on January 24, 1894 at a depth of 4m in the peat bog of Shigir, on the eastern slope of the Middle Urals, approximately 100 km from Yekaterinburg. Investigations in this area had begun 40 years earlier after the discovery of a variety of prehistoric objects in an open-air gold mine.
It was extracted in several parts; professor D. I. Lobanov combined the main fragments to reconstitute a sculpture 2.80m high.
In 1914 the archaeologist Vladimir Tolmachev proposed a variant of this reconstruction by integrating the unused fragments.
Some of these fragments were later lost, so only Tolmachev's drawings of them remain.
The radiocarbon dating carried out by G. I. Zajtseva of the Institute of the History for the Material Culture in Saint-Petersburg, confirmed by the Institute of Geology of the Academy of Science of Russia in Moscow, gives an age of 9,500 years. It is the most ancient known wooden sculpture in the world.
Since 2003 the sculpture has been displayed in a glass box filled with inert gas. The head reproduces rather faithfully a face with eyes, nose, and mouth.
The body is flat and rectangular. Geometrical motifs decorate its surface. Horizontal lines at the level of the thorax seem to represent ribs, and lines broken in chevrons cover the rest of the body.
No consensus exists about the meaning of these motifs, or what the sculpture represented.

Reviewer score

Convenient and good
Very nice hotel and rooms, close to the airport (nb. It takes about 15 mins from the terminal by their regular shuttle bus) very convenient. Shuttle bus runs regularly but do book the ahead to ensure timely pickup at arrivals and also book your
departure as it gets busy). The restaurant has good food. The only downside is the mosquitoes in the public areas as it is next to the river. These were the only mosquitoes we saw (and got bitten by) in 10 days in Thailand during the dry season! Otherwise, excellent.
business trip connection
The airport pickup/ drop off was great. The drivers are accomodating and friendly. 10 minute transfer time. The hotel was very nice but situated in an industrial area. There are no shops or town to look around to speak off (without taxi) BUT as a
transit hotel (Overnight stay) it did the job well.
Tea and coffee in room as was bottled water free. room very clean and tidy. Comfortable bed. Breakfast was not included and I thought it was, however, i was not to bothered about that. I would recommend for similar transits.
Great Location For Stopover
Great location for overnight trip. Close to airport with a shuttle both ways. The grounds are gorgeous. Would definitely recommend.
Very good option near airport Bangkok
If you're staying overnight in Bangkok for connecting flights, highly recommend this hotel. Door to door shuttle service with fast efficient pick-up at the airport. Lovely decor and outdoor features like pool. Friendly staff. Great value.
Stayed just the one night
Perfect after 3 week holiday in thailand.
Felt really refreshed for the long trip home to ireland.
Helpful staff,large hotel, amazing choice for breakfast also excellent shuttle to airport.
Nothing bad to say.
Thank you Best Western!
Comfortable overnight stay
Easy pick-up at the airport, although it took us a while to get to the hotel. The hotel was clean and comfortable and we appreciated the graciousness of the hotel and restaurant staff members, especially since we had our two young kids with us.
Great Near Airport Hotel
Very close to the BKK Int'l Airport. Staff is very friendly and nice. This is the second and not the last time that I have stayed here.
Excellent for a stop over
The staff were polite, conscientious and helpful. Room was comfortable. Didn't have time to use the facilities but what I saw were great. Breakfast was tasty and a great meal to have before setting off on travels again!
Would not recommend
Too many mosquitoes otherwise good. Obviously the room wasn't cleaned properly to have so many mosquitoes or the management aren't checking it.
Transit Stay
Great place to stay if your transiting in Bangkok. Close to airport, comfortable, clean - with airport shuttle services.
Nice stay
Clean comfortable room. Close to airport . No shuttle but taxi is not expensive in Bkk.

The Chamber of Commerce has spent a whopping $1.6 million on television ads opposing Sen. Bill Nelson, Florida Democrat, in his re-election bid and $1 million attacking Democrat Tim Kaine in the race for a Senate seat from Virginia against Republican George Allen, disclosures showed Thursday.
The conservative-leaning business lobby also spent nearly $1 million opposing Rep. Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin Democrat, in her bid for the Senate and more than half a million opposing Sen. Claire McCaskill, Missouri Democrat, in her bid for re-election.
The Virginia ad says the "Kaine train" would "derail" Virginia's economy with "big-government policies," and notes his support for President Obama's health care reform law.
The expenditure is unusual because it comes from a nonprofit group rather than a political committee, and it is by far the largest of its kind thus far in this election cycle.
Drought-relief legislation could come next week
A House Republican leader said Thursday that the House may take up legislation next week to help farmers and ranchers hit by the drought that has parched much of the nation.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican, said that in the final week before Congress leaves for a five-week summer recess the House may consider legislation related to "programs and disaster assistance under the expiring farm bill."
Earlier, House Speaker John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, told reporters, "I do believe that the House will address the livestock disaster program."
The two leaders offered few details of the legislation, but it is expected to focus on the livestock industry. Many corn and soybean farmers are partially shielded from drought damage by crop insurance, but fewer livestock producers have insurance and the main federal disaster-relief program for them expired last year.
The drought is driving up the costs of feed, forcing some livestock farmers to reduce their stocks earlier than planned.
Neither lawmaker discussed how to pay for a revived livestock disaster-relief program.
Rep. Collin Peterson of Minnesota, the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, has estimated that it could cost $2.5 billion to institute a disaster-relief program and enact a short-term extension of the current five-year farm bill, which expires at the end of September.
The Senate last month passed a $500 billion, five-year farm bill and the House Agriculture Committee this month approved a similar bill. Neither Mr. Boehner nor Mr. Cantor mentioned the possibility of the full House considering that legislation before the August break.

Tentative Traverse City RosterSubmitted by chad on August 1, 2006 - 16:50
The following is the Lightning's tentative 2006 Traverse City roster. (Note: Names and commitments are subject to change)
Clarification on Traverse City RulesSubmitted by pete on August 1, 2006 - 10:49
According to a press release by the Atlanta Thrashers regarding this year's Traverse City tournament, [url=http://www.atlantathrashers.com/View.aspx?CID01=1343e05e-1393-4120-8c37-20f44d14c660]these are the eligibility rules for this year's tournament:[/url] "Per tournament rules, each team may only have a maximum of four players with one year of professional experience each. In order to participate, all skaters must have been born no later than 1983; goalies are exempt from this restriction." As a consequence of this rule, [url=pj-atherton]PJ Atherton[/url] will not be eligible to play in this year's tournament (without an exception being made, which is altogether possible in these tournaments). However, [url=andy-rogers]Andy Rogers[/url] will be eligible to play under this scenario, as will [url=justin-keller]Justin Keller[/url]. [url=mike-egener]Mike Egener[/url] remains inelligible because he has played two years of pro. Because of the goaltender exemptions the team could take [url=morgan-cey]Morgan Cey[/url], [url=gerald-coleman]Gerald Coleman[/url] or [url=jonathan-boutin]Jonathan Boutin[/url] to Traverse City along with Ramo, Helenius and Beech, although I am still betting they will only carry three goaltenders. Updated Traverse City Roster Speculation:
Falcons Announce Preseason ScheduleSubmitted by chad on August 1, 2006 - 10:34
The Springfield Falcons have announced their [b]2006 preseason schedule[/b]. The Falcons begin their preseason at home with a September 29 match-up against the New York Ranger's top affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack. Two of the three Falcons preseason games are at home.

Camp Stats ReleasedSubmitted by chad on July 31, 2006 - 11:22
Tampabaylightning.com has released the [b]final stats[/b] for the 2006 Conditioning and Tryout Camp scrimmages. Leading the way for the tournament, which was won by Team White 3-2, was free agent and former Portland Winter Hawk Brian Woolger with 2 goals and 3 assists for 5 points. Right behind him was recently signed Lightning prospect Blair Jones (Moose Jaw) with 2-2-4. Stan Lascek (Chicoutimi), Todd Griffith (Kingston), and Clayton Barthel (Seattle) finished tied for third in scoring, all with three points each in the five games. Barthel led all defensemen in scoring. Woolger, Barthel, and Griffith have all been added to this year's Traverse City Lightning roster as a reward for their impressive showings in camp. Among those registering zero points were Radek Smolenak, who scored 42 goals last year for Kingston of the OHL, and Andy Rogers, who led the Lightning in scoring during last year's Traverse City prospects tournament. Rogers played in four of the five games. Sudbury Wolves goaltender Kevin Beech led the four goalies in save percentage with a .952, followed by fellow Team White 'tender Josh Disher (.923). Kari Ramo registered a .919 save percentage and faced the least amount of shots among the four netminders. Ramo's teammate with Team Black, Boston College's Joe Pearce, faced the most shots at 76. Pearce was the only goalie with a sub-.900 save percentage (.895)

Anton But's Release ConfirmedSubmitted by pete on July 30, 2006 - 22:26
Eurohockey.net is confirming that Anton But has been released by Yaroslavl. Last week Russianprospects.com broke word of But's release by his club team and speculated a deal with the Lightning was imminent, but Bolt Prospects has learned that as of that time there had been no contact between But's agent and the Lightning organization. In unrelated news, former Lightning prospect goaltender Evgeny Konstantinov has trasferred from the Moscow Dynamo organization and will play with [url=denis-kazionov]Denis Kazionov[/url] in Tver next season. Konstantinov made 4 appearances for Dynamo last season and split 15 appearanced between Ekaterinburg and Stupino in the Upper League.
Traverse City Team Taking ShapeSubmitted by pete on July 30, 2006 - 21:39
With Jay Feaster's announcement of which players will be invited to join the Lightning's Traverse City prospect team, I figured I'd take a rough stab at what the roster will look like. To the best of my knowledge, players are only elligible to play in Traverse City twice, making players like [url=mike-egener]Mike Egener[/url] and [url=andy-rogers]Andy Rogers[/url] ineligible to play this year. The rule narrows the field of potential candidates considerably, which is why you see so many free agent forwards invited to the camp this year.

Feaster Awards Spots to ProspectsSubmitted by Ken on July 30, 2006 - 18:53
Feaster beat me. I layed out all my overall evaluations from camp today and decided to blog my thoughts on the unsigned prospects first and to do it tonight figuring that Jay would announce those soon. Sooner than I thought. [url=http://www.tbo.com/sports/MGBABCCU8QE.html]From the Tampa Tribune:[/url] "PROSPECT CAMP: Feaster called this week's prospect conditioning camp a worthy investment of time and money. If there were a camp MVP, Feaster said Kevin Quick, the team's fourth-round pick in the 2006 draft, would earn the title. The GM said Quick was unbelievable in the five scrimmage games and is speaking to the defenseman and his parents about playing junior level hockey next year instead of returning to prep school on Connecticut in order to "accelerate" his progress.
Day 5 Prospect CampSubmitted by Ken on July 29, 2006 - 19:08
White Wins series with a 2 - 0 victory over the Black The puppies were tired today and the goaltenders were at their best in a sloppily played game. 0 - 0 at the intermission and then: 1. White: Hrdel (Lascek, Collins) collins down low slips it to Lascek quickly to Hrdel who smacks it by Pearce from the lefthand side of the low slot. Wasn't exactly soft,nice shot, but any of the other three goalies might have had that today. 2. White: Hrdel (Oullette, Czuy) Czuy made the play by dishing the puck of as Rogers tied to take him out along the center boards. Czuy took Rogers out instead slipping it to Oullette who skated past the two and creted a 2-on-1 with Hrdel. Oullette drew the defender, slid the puck to Hrdel who smoked it from near the same spot as his first one. Also against Pearce.

Baker Hoping For Another ChanceSubmitted by chad on July 29, 2006 - 10:03
Matthew Wuest of the [i]Halifax Daily News[/i] has written an interesting feature on Acadia forward Kevin Baker, who is one of the 41 prospects in camp this week. Baker, a former Kings draftee who played professionally with Lowell and St. John a few years back, just wants a chance to get back into professional hockey. He's getting that this week with the Lightning. Also in the feature, Lightning scout Darrell Young, who lives in Halifax, states the Lightning have spent approximately $100,000 this week to bring in players they think may be able to contribute somewhere in the organization. Young tells the [i]Daily News[/i] the organization is in search of offense, "and [Baker's] shown he can provide it." "We think with the rule changes, [Baker] has a chance," Young says.

Day 4 Prospect Camp Scoring summarySubmitted by Ken on July 28, 2006 - 21:41
I was watching individual play versus the puck so a couple of goals snuck up on me. Anyway the White once again rebounds from a loss to put a 5 - 1 pasting on the Black. 1. White: Mihalik (either Keller or Wheat) Whichever ever forward it was made a stop along the far wall near the blue line. Mihalik stepped in picked up the loose pick took about two big strides in and from well above the right circle, near the slot area, put a nice wrister high glove side on Pearce. (Not a good evening for Joe) 2. White: Woolger (Fuller, Wheat) Wheat kept the play in, Fuller scooted it to Woolger, wrister from low right circle.

Lose weight the easy way with this superb, high quality weight loss hypnosis audio by Glenn Harrold, the UK's best-selling self-help audio author.
Glenn's unique hypnotherapy recording will help you to programme your mind to accept that you eat small amounts of healthy food and genuinely LOVE exercising and being active. Losing weight is easy when your are in control of your eating habits and exercising regularly and Glenn's highly acclaimed hypnosis techniques and production will help you achieve these goals in a safe and natural way.
On each hypnosis track you will be safely guided into a very deep state of mental and physical relaxation and then given multiple post-hypnotic suggestions to release any desire for sweet or fattening food, and to eat smaller amounts of healthy food instead.
Glenn's utilises his skilled weight control hypnotherapy techniques to help you break any past negative associations with eating and dieting, which completely removes the struggle from losing weight. By taking full control of your eating habits automatically, you will begin to lose weight the best way possible - slowly and steadily. This production will help you to feel very motivated to exercise often and to remain a healthy eater forever, even after you have reached your target weight..
Please note: The first track is for daytime use and will gently bring you back to full waking consciousness at the end. The second track is identical except it will guide you into a peaceful sleep at the end, making it ideal for night-time use. There is also a third affirmation track with an awake ending.
©2002 Glenn Harrold (P)2002 Diviniti Publishing Ltd.
"Very relaxing, pleasant tape"
Forget the "subliminal suggestions" comments and myths, that's not what serious hypnosis is about. If you aren't conscious of everything that's said on the tape, then you simply fell asleep and got little more out of the experience than a nice nap and maybe a placebo effect.
Hypnosis is simply about helping you change your assumptions and attitudes by "practicing" them in your mind first. It's another tool in your toolbox, helping you to change your attitude towards food and exercise, but it will not do it for you.
From what I've seen, tapes like this can be pure junk or can be very well done. I fid this audio to be be in the latter category - very relaxing and helpful in destressing about eating and changing my habits. If I'm craving food for emotional reasons, listening to this audio or to soothing music can help me sort out the emotions and put things back into perspective.
"Works great"
I've only used it for a week but so far it been working great. My appetite isn't the same as before, because I'm not going back for seconds or thirds anymore!
"No story but a great buy"
This is a hypnotic recording. I listen to them as I'm going to sleep. I seem to sleep better and think it helps in whatever subject I'm listening to. In this case, weight lose. I don't have the nightly cravings anymore since I've been listening to it.
"Had my doubts but"
I had my doubts but..this actually worked!
I don't really believe in hypnotism but I need help sometimes falling asleep and this one did the trick! Harrold's voice is..well, hypnotising! I don't feel any significant change in my eating habits, but I find the tape very pleasant to listen to just before bed, and most of the time I really do feel "hypnotized" in that I lose track of what he is saying and don't snap out of it till the end music. A fun book!
"didn't work for me"
I tried this several times and no success. I have used it to fall asleep
3 Stars because it did relax me, but only 3 stars because I only fell asleep - there has been no change to my weight pattern after listening to it several times.
Good for sleep though!
"Had hoped for more"
What a disappointment. The dialog was very narrowly focused and lacked any good descriptions for successful visualization. The narrator's voice was cheesy and borderline annoying.
I gave this 5 listens before I just could take it no more. 30 minute segments should be a full 60. He has a dull voice that gets worse with time. The "music" at the beginning and end is beyond cheesy. The worst is to hear him say "sickly sweet and fattening foods." Who talks like that?
"not 4 me"
Ilove hypnosis and subliminal messages. I didn't like this at all.... You can't go str8 to the hypnosis with out the intro. If you do try you r too far into it. There is better out there.

Mary Jo Ola was at Henry Vilas Zoo Wednesday morning to share a preview of the new Arctic Passage that opens this weekend.
The Arctic Passage is the zoo's biggest renovation in its history. Crews broke ground on the project in March 2014. The passage spans nearly two acres of land and features environments for twin polar bears Sakari and Suri; and a pair of grizzly sisters known as the Grizzly Girls; and harbor seals.
A restaurant in the addition offers diners a look at the polar bears, who can also watch you have your meal.
For more information about the opening weekend event, visit vilaszoo.org/arcticpassagegrandopening.
The Madison Metropolitan School District's board of education delayed implementing changes Superintendent Jennifer Cheatham calls key to making the district's discipline policy, known as the Behavior Education Plan, work effectively.
Cheatham told board members based on staff, student, parent and community feedback, changes can be made to correct massive misunderstandings surrounding the BEP, such as disruptive or unsafe students being kept in classrooms and teachers being unable to ask students to leave their class.
The proposed changes include:
According to a release, Brat Fest will partner with the Christian music festival Lifest for the second year.
The Lifest stage will feature Christian musical artists, including headliners Hawk Nelson, Rapture Ruckus, Family Force 5 and Sidewalk Prophets. Family acts from AJ the Animated Illusionist and Josh Jordan will also take the stage.
On other stages, Bret Michaels, The Charlie Daniels Band, Aaron Lewis and over 70 other bands will perform.
Brat Fest takes place Memorial Day weekend and will offer brats and other food, a carnival, bands and other activities. The event has been held every Memorial Day weekend since 1983 and is the world's largest festival featuring brats.
Trivia night at Madison's Central Library will help raise money for Dane County libraries, according to a release.
The 4th annual Team Trivia Night Fundraiser is Saturday at 7 p.m. Doors at the central library at 201 W. Mifflin St. open at 5:30 p.m.
Entrance fees for teams are $250 ahead of time or $300 at the door, organizers said. Teams can be up to 10 people.
Teams should register online.
Crews took down the foot bridge over the Beltline at Seminole Highway on Madison's west side overnight.
The Beltline between Verona Road and Fish Hatchery Road was closed for 7 hour from 10 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday to allow workers to take the bridge out.
Traffic was detoured to Highway PD.
The city plans to build a new pedestrian bridge in that spot in the fall.
Work on the Beltline is expected to be complete in 2016. The Verona Road project is scheduled to finish in 2019.
A stretch of road in Verona will close for several weeks beginning next week for a construction project.
State Department of Transportation Project Manager Greg Breck said construction on East Verona Avenue will begin Monday.
The DOT is adding bus lanes on East Verona Avenue and an additional bay to the Park and Ride lot. Workers will also connect bike trails up to the avenue and improve turn lanes at the intersections with Maple Grove Road and Old County Road PB.
Maple Grove Road and Old PB will be closed around East Verona Avenue for four to five weeks starting Monday, Breck said. Maple Grove will be open to allow access to Badger Prairie Health Care Center at 1100 E. Verona Ave.
East Verona Avenue will be reduced to a single lane during the construction, Breck said.
Signs will direct motorists to County Road M and Cross Country Road.
The Madison Parks Moonlight Movie Series will start Feb. 27 with a showing of the movie "Frozen."
Residents are encouraged to bring their families and blankets to Tenney Park for the movie showing at 6 p.m.
The movie showings will continue with other family-friendly classics, like "Battleship" and "The Incredibles," in the coming months at various Madison parks.
Madison Parks, Madison Mallards, the Madison Parks Foundation present the event, which is sponsored by Zimbrick Honda.

I have over 8 years of experience working in a virtual setting, the past three years as a Virtual Assistant for a client in the Retained Executive Search industry. I formatted candidate resumes, updated my client Exchange Calendar as needed, cleaned up email inboxes and provided Social Media Marketing as well. I also created various Excel files for communicating both project and social media data and information. I researched industry-specific content to post to my client's social media platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter). I started my career in retail, providing best-in-class Customer Service. Next, I worked in the Retained Executive Search industry, participating in the full life-cycle of recruiting from making cold calls to attracting candidates to place in a variety of positions (mid to senior level management) in a variety of industries. I am able to provide various administrative functions - data entry, word processing, email creation and management, calendar management, proofing/editing documents and Social Media Marketing - to name just a few. I can create a Social Media Marketing Strategy for a business - using HootSuite and Bit.ly to post/schedule to sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. I can do Internet Research as needed as well. With my Retained Executive Search Firm industry experience, I can assist with various recruiting tasks, whether they entail applicant tracking, candidate sourcing, screening, interviewing, reference checking and the like. I have excellent customer service and communication skills as well. I am not afraid to learn new software and skills, as that is what I had to do when I started in my role as a Virtual Assistant a few years ago. Hire me if you want great results from someone who is dependable, dedicated and able to wear many hats.

Much later, as he sat with his back against an inside wall of a Motel 6 just north of Phoenix, watching the pool of blood lap toward him, Driver would wonder whether he had made a terrible mistake. Later still, of course, there'd be no doubt. But for now Driver is, as they say, in the moment. And the moment includes this blood lapping toward him, the pressure of dawn's late light at windows and door, traffic sounds from the interstate nearby, the sound of someone weeping in the next room....
Thus begins Drive, a new novella by one of the nation's most respected and honored writers of noir fiction. Set mostly in Arizona and L.A., the story is, according to Sallis, ..."about a guy who does stunt driving for movies by day and drives for criminals at night. In classic noir fashion, he is double-crossed and, though before he has never participated in the violence ('I drive. That's all.'), he goes after the ones who doublecrossed and tried to kill him."
A multi-faceted man of many talents, James Sallis has worked as a creative writing teacher, respiratory therapist, musician, music teacher, screenwriter, periodical editor, book reviewer, and translator, winning acclaim for his 1993 version of Raymond Queneau's Saint Glinglin. He has been shortlisted for the Anthony, Nebula, Edgar, Shamus, and Gold Dagger awards.

If dem run outta rounds ah bruck back ratchet
Lyric Meaning
If they run out for bullets they will use ratchet knives.
"Bruck back ratchets" (or lockback/slipjoint ratchet knives) are a notorious weapon with hoodlums in Jamaica, considered easy to open quickly. Ratchets are generally German-made (originally) but now are produced elsewhere too, the Okapi being a favourite brand (these may also be referred to as "three star's" because of the three stars on the handle of Okapi blades).
The term used by Marley, "Bruck Back", explains how it is opened by the blades being bent out.

On the Annunciation
"Mary's 'Yes' Is the Reflection of Christ's Own 'Yes'"
VATICAN CITY, MARCH 26, 2007 (Zenit) - Here is a translation of the address Benedict XVI delivered Sunday before reciting the midday Angelus with several thousand people gathered in St. Peter's Square.
* * *
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
March 25 is the solemnity of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This year it coincides with a Sunday of Lent and so will be celebrated tomorrow. In any case, I would like to linger over this stupendous mystery of the faith that we contemplate every day in the recitation of the Angelus.
The annunciation, narrated at the beginning of the Gospel of St. Luke, is a humble human event, hidden -- no one saw it, no one knew about it, but Mary -- but at the same time decisive for the history of humanity. When the Virgin pronounced her "yes" to the angel's announcement, Jesus was conceived and with him the era of history began which would be ratified at Easter as the "new and eternal covenant."
In reality, Mary's "yes" is the reflection of Christ's own "yes" when he entered the world, as is noted in the Letter to the Hebrews in an interpretation of Psalm 39: "As is written of me in the scroll, Behold, I come to do your will, O God" (Hebrews 10:7). The Son's obedience is reflected in the Mother's and thus, by the meeting of these two "yeses," God was able to take on a human face. This is why the annunciation is also a Christological feast, because it celebrates a central mystery of Christ: his incarnation.
"Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to your Word." Mary's reply to the angel is extended in the Church, which is called to make Christ present in history, offering its own availability so that God might continue to visit humanity with his mercy. The "yes" of Jesus and Mary is in this way renewed in the "yes" of the saints, especially the martyrs, who are killed because of the Gospel.
I emphasize this because yesterday, March 24, the anniversary of the assassination of Archbishop �scar Romero of San Salvador, we celebrated the Day of Prayer and Fasting for Missionary Martyrs: bishops, priests, religious, and lay people who were cut down as they carried out their mission of evangelization and human betterment.
These missionary martyrs, as this year's theme says, are the "hope for the world," because they bear witness that the love of Christ is stronger than violence and hate. They did not seek out martyrdom, but they were ready to give their lives to remain faithful to the Gospel. Christian martyrdom is justified only as the supreme act of love for God and our brothers.
In this Lenten season we often contemplate the Madonna as on Calvary she seals the "yes" she pronounced at Nazareth. United to Christ, the testimony of the Father's love, Mary lived martyrdom of the soul. Let us call on her intercession with confidence, so that the Church, faithful to her mission, bear courageous witness to God's love before the whole world.
[After praying the Angelus, the Holy Father greeted pilgrims in six languages. In Italian, he said:]
Next Sunday we celebrate the solemn and suggestive liturgy of Palm Sunday, with which we begin Holy Week. In these circumstances the 22nd World Youth Day will take place.
This year's theme is Jesus' commandment: "As I have loved you, love one another" (John 13:34). To prepare ourselves for this day and the celebration of Easter, I invite the young people of the Diocese of Rome to a penitential liturgy that I will preside over on the afternoon of Thursday, March 29, in St. Peter's Basilica. Those who wish to may approach the sacrament of confession, a true encounter with God's love, which every man needs to live in joy and in peace.
[In English he said:]
I welcome all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors present at today's Angelus. In particular I greet the members of the International Federation for Family Development and I encourage them in the vital work of promoting the rights and responsibilities of the family. May our Lenten journey continue to be marked by forgiveness and the resolve to transform sin and desolation into the life and joy of Easter. Upon all of you and your loved ones, I invoke the strength and peace of Christ our Lord!
