Online creative writing courses are designed for writers who want to improve their skills without going through a formal in-person program.
Instead of floundering for years, writing bad books and getting rejected, you can glean wisdom from the best writers on the planet and accelerate your book to publication. Don't delay — the info in these courses will radically improve your skills as a writer.
Be careful to distinguish between courses that come with feedback on your writing and ones that just include information. Both can be helpful, but make sure you're signing up for what you need.
Also, be aware of the differences between courses that include a teacher and those that just have audio or video lectures. The lectures can be helpful, but it's always great to ask someone questions. Finally, some of these links are affiliate links, so thank you for financially supporting my mission to empower writers!
I hope you enjoy this list!

I've gone through all 100 video lessons and loved it — and you can get extra personalized feedback from Louise Dean herself (both over Skype and through written feedback).
If you've already written your novel, then I would recommend the "Editing Your Novel" course — really fantastic material there. This one's a bit shorter — 30 video lessons.

If you are looking for flowers to buy, there is no better place than Viru street. Flower Market om Viru street is the most central and popular place to buy flowers in Tallinn. A number of flower vendors is situated near the Viru Gates. Vendors are opened from early morning and till the deep night. Here you will find a large variety of fresh flowers: endless counters filled with roses of all colors, bouquets, arranged with bright blue and hot pink asters, seasonal flowers like lily of the valley and cornflowers, colorful peonies and handmade circlets of flowers and fir branches. During gradation days, Mother's day and the 8th of March (Woman's Day), Viru street becomes very crowded and counters with flowers become practically empty!
By the way, one of Estonia's most notable actresses, Eve Kivi, was discovered right here at the Viru flower stands. She was calling out "Flowers, get your flowers here" and among the long line of men wanting to buy flowers there were two producers from St. Petersburg who later changed Eve Kivi's life and helped her to become an actress of legendary Estonian films! So if you are an aspiring actor or actress then you might want to spend time around the bright flowers' vendors. To add, if you fall madly in love in the middle of the night and want to surprise your newly found love with beautiful bouquets, Viru street is the place where you need to rush.

Let us say i've two functions in functions.php in Wordpress.
// it takes 2 minutes to finish whatever it does
// it takes 3 minutes to finish whatever it does
My real question is how would be the functions performed?
1.First is performed function1 so when it's finished begins the execution of function2, therefore the final time is going to be a few minutes?
2.The execution for begins in the same time frame and also the final time is going to be 3 minutes?
Hope you'll understang my problem, thanks.
a few minutes - PHP will run the functions one by one, instead of the kind of JS which will run them at the same time.
I'd question what takes 2-3 minutes to process in PHP though? Most browsers will break after thirty seconds of PHP execution, so a few minutes could be method to lengthy...
so far as I understand function2 begins after function1 has finished performing... therefore the total execution time is a few minutes inside your situation...

Dresden – Intellectual Property Law
The aim of the ELSA Dresden Law School: "Intellectual Property – a(n) (un)justified monopoly?" is to actively learn more about the Law of Intellectual Property and how its regulations affect the economy and to discuss whether these effects are negative or not.
The field of Intellectual Property Law is one of the fastest growing and most challenging fields of law. Nowadays, technology is developing faster and faster and by that it is reaching borders, which need to be crossed. New inventions are made and need to be protected. On the other hand, it should also be possible to use such new inventions freely for the greater good and for economic growth. Since the media are playing a much bigger role in our modern society, the use of pictures, logos and trademarks is much more common but also much easier for everyone. Again, the question is: can and should we regulate and protect the rights of the owner and creator and to what extent.
To reach the aforementioned aim, we want to create an open and active work atmosphere with a combination of lectures as well as discussions and exercises. An introductory course to give an overview of the topic will be given and the general fields of intellectual property law will be looked at.
ELSA Member from a favoured country - 315€
Alumni/Member of a partner organisation/Non ELSA Member - 420€
The academic programme of the ELSA Dresden Law School: "Intellectual Property – a(n) (un)justified monopoly?" will consist of over 25 hours of lectures, panel discussions and exercises.
At the beginning of the week there will be an introductory course, which will enable all participants to start from a similar level of knowledge and also give an overview on the week.
During the week, the different areas of the field of intellectual property law such as Patent Law, Copyright and Trademark Law will be discussed. The following lectures and workshops are planned:
- Trademark Law
- Introduction to Patent Law
- Relations between Patent Law and Cartel Law
- Personality Rights
- Publicity Rights
- Copyright Law
At the end of the week there will be a Negotiation Exercise, which will grant our participants the opportunity to actively apply the knowledge they gained throughout the week.

Made from the high-quality milk of the resident Alpine herd, the cheeses are crafted on a small-scale in a traditionally artisan manner. The inventiveness and skill incorporated in the production process make the unique quality of these rustic cheeses a true exception.
Goldin Artisan Goat Cheeses are inspired by memories of Carine's upbringing in the Savoie region of France. Likewise, the quality of the milk is influenced by the local soil and climate of the Pacific Northwest.

Cheesemaking philosophy
"As a child I lived in France, surrounded by the best rustic cheeses. When I came to America I noticed a lack of such cheese, which eventually inspired me to make my own French alpine cheese. It's a pleasure to offer people the experience of rustic, complex, delightful cheese."

Within Killarney National Park, Co Kerry Ireland, is Muckross House and Gardens, a magnificent Victorian mansion and one of Ireland's leading stately homes. The house is a focal point within the Park and is the ideal base from which to explore its terrain.
Muckross House was built for Henry Arthur Herbert and his wife, the watercolorist Mary Balfour Herbert. This was actually the fourth house that successive generations of the Herbert family had occupied at Muckross over a period of almost two hundred years. William Burn, the well-known Scottish architect, was the designer. Building commenced in 1839 and was completed in 1843.
A magnificent Victorian mansion and one of Ireland's leading stately homes, the elegantly furnished rooms portray the lifestyles of the landed gentry, while downstairs in the basement one can experience the working conditions of the servants employed in the House.
During the 1850s, the Herbert's undertook extensive garden works in preparation for Queen Victoria's visit in 1861. Later, the Bourn Vincent family continued this gardening tradition. They purchased the estate from Lord and Lady Ardilaun early in the 20th century.
The Gardens at Muckross House developed in the 20th century, are renowned world-wide for their beauty. In particular they are noted for their fine collections of azaleas and rhododendrons, an extensive water garden, and an outstanding rock garden hewn out of natural limestone.
Muckross House is also home to a number of skilled craft workers who can be viewed using traditional skills in the crafts of weaving, bookbinding and pottery.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis, in some his strongest comments ever on nuclear weapons, said on Friday that the world should condemn not only their possible use but "their very possession".
The appeal came at the start of a two-day conference on nuclear disarmament that has brought together 11 Nobel Peace Prize winners, as well as United Nations and NATO officials, discussing prospects for a world free of nuclear weapons.
Addressing the group, Francis spoke of "the catastrophic humanitarian and environmental effects of any employment of nuclear devices" and added:
"If we also take into account the risk of an accidental detonation as a result of error of any kind, the threat of their use, as well as their very possession, is to be firmly condemned."

Dedicated to Our Daughter
Submitted by Randy
We met in 1980 at a company we both worked for called Door-O-Matic in Harwood Heights. I was a 28-year-old production scheduler and Bridget, then 20, was the plant manager's secretary. It was love at first sight.
We had little rituals where every morning we'd go into the stockroom and embrace. One time we got caught by the owner. He was more embarrassed than we were. But we had lots of allies there, people who looked out for us, so instead of going into the stockroom, we'd go into the women's washroom.
Still, we broke up a lot. There were three times we had to start all over again. I had to practically beg her. She just wouldn't get out of my heart. And I used to do some crazy things. One time I recruited some other employees to put crumpled-up newspapers in her car -- so many that she couldn't get in. That didn't go over well with her boss.
And we had heart-to-heart talks and exchanged love notes.
I'm Jewish and Bridget was raised Roman Catholic, so our parents were kind of shocked when I made my marriage intentions known. But they ultimately gave their blessings, and I proposed on her birthday, Dec. 22, 1983. My father -- whose death earlier that summer following a car accident sent me into a deep funk -- wasn't around to attend. Before he died, we talked and I told him I wished I was half the man he was. He whispered back -- you could hardly hear it -- that I already was.
Bridget and I wed on Sept. 16, 1984. It was a traditional Jewish ceremony with lots of dancing and drinking and family-style eating followed by a twelve day honeymoon in Hawaii in Kauai and Maui.
Three dreamlike years passed, and then it happened. Bridget was diagnosed with the relapse-and-remission form of multiple sclerosis. She kept losing her balance and fell down a flight of steps. When the doctors told me what MS was, I didn't want to believe it. I couldn't believe it. Until you experience it, there's no way you can even comprehend it.
We know a lot of people through an MS support group we once went to whose marriages just dissolved. They couldn't handle it. There's a lot of pressures. Your life just takes a 180. And we didn't know what to expect. At the time we thought maybe Bridget would use a cane. She went from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair to an electric wheelchair. Her legs were always affected, but now her hand is too.
My wife, she's a rock. I don't know how I would be able to deal with it, but she does. Her strength is why our daughter Mandy Kauai is such a nice, loving person.
Parenthood, by the way, almost didn't happen. When I envisioned my life, I didn't see myself adopting. I was going to be a father the traditional way. Unfortunately, when we started trying in the early '90s, there were fertility complications on both ends. I had three unsuccessful surgeries while Bridget endured numerous fertility injections, took medications and had countless ultrasounds. We even tried in vitro fertilization, each time with negative results. After a doctor told me I'd never have kids, I actually punched a brick wall in frustration, breaking my hand. The whole painful process was a drain on our time, our nerves and our financial resources. We're still in financial ruins.
But we don't give up easily and decided adoption was the next step. When newspaper ads yielded no responses and even DCFS turned us down, I contacted a couple of prominent Chicago adoption lawyers. As both of them were jailed for deceiving their clients, that didn't really work out. We next tried international adoption, appealing to Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar. He responded to a letter I wrote, set us up with reputable agency and the intense process began.
After three long and sometimes spiritually crushing years, mounds of paperwork, lie detector tests, fingerprinting, home studies and going through every last cent we had and then some, it finally happened. China granted us special permission to visit the country and possibly adopt an orphan. Because of my wife's condition, however, she couldn't go. So I went solo. As far as I know, that typically isn't allowed.
There was red tape at every turn and the regulations were extremely, sometimes absurdly, rigid. This wasn't cheap, either. The adoption alone cost $25,000. Somehow, though, things worked out. Several weeks later I returned home with a beautiful 10-month-old daughter. She's all we could ask for and then some. Odd as it sounds, we needed everything that did occur in our lives to occur for Mandy to happen.
That includes this: Around the time we started making headway on the adoption front, I noticed a rash on my hand. I'm a man, so I didn't think anything of it. "I'm not going to go to the doctor," I thought. "It'll go away." Well, it didn't, and Bridget made me go. So the doctor did a biopsy and determined it was a certain kind of lymphoma. I read in a medical journal that I had up to five years to live. Bridget was probably in shock. I remember when we were in the thick of dealing with it, she completely lost it. She was like a zombie, crying all the time. And I had to realistically look at the prospect that my life was over. What's going to happen? We'd climbed over all these hurdles and then all of a sudden we're just stopped right in the middle of the road.
The first doctor wanted me to see another specialist, who did another biopsy that determined it was yet another form of lymphoma. Eventually, I saw Dr. Steve Rosen at Northwestern. They did a biopsy there and came up with another decision. In the Jewish faith, the number 18 means life. And for whatever reason, my oncologist at Lutheran General had me do 18 radiation treatments. The lymphoma went away. The hospitals want to do research on me to understand how I survived.
Do you believe in serendipity? Believe it, because things happen for a reason. After all we've been through, Bridget and I are inseparable as always, we're a team and we're best friends. I've won the love lottery. All the money in the world is no match for what we have. Somehow we just reinvented ourselves. We found the strength to be persistent and achieve our goals.
And if we had to do it all over again, we would.

Bank One donates $1 million to help the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration prepare social workers to work in community schools
The University of Chicago announced on Thursday, March 4 that it has received a $1 million donation from Bank One to prepare future social workers for leadership roles in community schools.
The grant to the School of Social Service Administration (SSA) will fund creation of the The Bank One Program for Leadership in Community Schools, which will provide fellowships, field education and career services to prepare students to lead community schools. The program will begin this fall and is expected to benefit community schools across the country.
During the past decade, community schools have emerged as an important new vehicle to improve student performance and strengthen local communities. Community schools are strongly tied to their neighborhoods and link academic programs with social services to help meet the needs of the students, parents and other community residents.
"Community schools bring together the academic and social supports needed to ensure that all students succeed by offering programs before, during and after the school day for students and their families," said Sarah Duncan, coordinator of the community schools leadership program at SSA and a prominent Chicago leader in community and schools issues. "The programs support the school's academic program and expand the services offered within the community. Most community schools in Chicago offer academic enrichment activities for students, including cultural and social activities, as well as health and other services that address the psychosocial barriers to learning. "
"This program will develop an important new professional role for social work in the schools," added Edward Lawlor, Dean of SSA. "Community school directors and coordinators work hand-in-hand with school principals to build innovative programs to engage students in effective social services that support social development and educational achievement. These leadership roles are complex and demanding, requiring expertise in education, clinical practice and assessment, program development, family support, management, policy and community development. This initiative builds nicely on the strengths of our School and our students. "
The Bank One Program for Leadership in Community Schools will continue through 2012.
"Bank One is delighted to support the University of Chicago in its education of social workers for community schools," said Warren Chapman, president of the Bank One Foundation. "Community schools have become an integral and exciting part of the neighborhoods they serve and the social workers help make that happen. " Jamie Dimon, CEO of Bank One, is a trustee of the University of Chicago.
The gift from Bank One marks an important contribution to The CHICAGO Initiative, the University's $2 billion, five-year capital campaign.
"This is an exciting and innovative addition to the set of cooperative programs through which the University of Chicago and the Chicago Public Schools work together to improve education. We are grateful to Bank One for its bold leadership and support for this initiative," said University President Don Michael Randel. The School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago is a professional school offering master's and doctoral degrees in social work. Founded in 1908, SSA is one of a handful of institutions that helped create and define the profession of social work and the field of social welfare. It remains a leader today; SSA is routinely ranked among the top schools of social work in the nation.

What is Confidence?
Confidence is a feeling of self- assurance arising from one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities. The feelings of certainty about handling something, such as one's self, work, family, or relationships.
Confidence is extremely important it is a vital weapon needed to face the challenges of life.
My Favorite saying is "Own It!" Funny story of mine that is a perfect "own it" moment was when I had a dental issue happen at the worse time. I was using my teeth as a tool (just like my mom told me not to do as a kid) and my front veneer broke. In less then a minute I went from confidently dressed and ready for the day to a hillbilly (no offense to hillbillies) with half of a front tooth!!! This is a Friday afternoon with no available dentist to see me. I was mortified! Why at that very moment did friends from out of town happen to show up at my door? I would not even send my husband a selfie although he begged to see. As I opened the door to greet our dear friends (who see me only a few times a year) I had to Own It!
Why do we lack confidence?
- The factors of low self-confidence are different for everyone. Your cultural background, childhood experiences and life circumstances can play a part in your lack of confidence.
- I work daily on my faulty thinking that perfection is what's needed for my confidence
- The lack of self care can lead to low self confidence. That is my excuse to my husband on why I need my bi-weekly nail, hair and eyelash appointment's. You are more then welcome to use it on your husband also!
Best Tips to build confidence
Tip 1: Care for yourself
- My favorite answer. You are most confident when you are in good physical health, mental health and social health.
- Good sleep habits
- Get to the gym or take a walk
- Eat healthy
- Red lipstick and high heels
Tip 2: Think Positive
- Change your thought process.
- Replace negative thoughts with positive ones
- This takes time but you will be surprised how well it works
Tip 3: Get to know yourself
- Think about your achievements.
- What do you do well?
- Learn your limitations
- Start a journal
- Go to church (I'm a Christian) or not (that's ok too)
The Last Thing You Need to Know
Find your personal confidence. It should not hinge on whether or not you are desirable to anyone other than you.
What is your best confidence building tip?
Please share and leave comments. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.


text: The city itself was fun to walk around with some nice buildings. We did a bit of shopping, and on the way round happened to stumble on a small Christmassy market that was going on. Nuremberg didn't seem as vibrant as Munich, and although we enjoyed looking around, it was more of a business or historical city, than a lively place to party. It was however nice to have a few relaxed days and plan our next trip in to Berlin for Tash's birthday.

The Makran subduction zone is a result of the northward subduction of the Arabian plate beneath the Eurasian plate. It is located in a complicated tectonic setting. Although showing relatively low seismicity, three earthquakes generating tsunamis in the Makran region have been reported. The project aims to better determine the plate geometry of the western part of the Makran subduction zone (Iran), the crustal structure and hence the seismogenic and tsunamogenic potential of this region. Within this project 3 NS-running crustal-scale refraction seismic line (each 200km long) have been recorded.

80s Sports
The competition of sports is too much fun to resist, whether you used to play, still play, or have never played at all. There are a ton of favorite 80s sports that are still watched by millions of people, including the Olympics.
80s Baseball
Early in the decade, there was a dispute about losing players to free agency, and the owners wanted to be compensated for it. The players began a strike on June 12, 1981, and everyone lost out on 713 games over the span of seven weeks, until the owners backed down on July 31.
After the strike, baseball was back in a really big way. The World Series had an extraordinary variety of winners throughout the 80s, and only one team won twice – the Los Angeles Dodgers.
80s Basketball
Out of the 10 NBA Championship games played throughout the 80s, the Los Angeles Lakers won half of them. When the Lakers drafted Earvin Magic Johnson, a dynamic point-guard out of Michigan State University, 'Showtime' was born. To that point, basketball had not seen a player with this type of showmanship. His style, at his position, changed the game of basketball as we know it.
To make 80s basketball even more interesting, there was a rivalry with a great team from clear across the country – The Boston Celtics. The Celtics had the purist shooter in Larry Bird. Kevin McHale and Robert Parish rounded out the all-star squad. The Celtics won three of the 10 NBA Championships throughout the 80s.
The two Championships not won by either the Lakers or the Celtics were earned by the 76ers in 1983 and the Pistons in 1989.
Tennis in the 80s
Among the big names in tennis were the outspoken Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe. McEnroe frequently yelled at and argued with umpires shouting "You cannot be serious!" and was well known for his temper. Other big names were Chris Evert Lloyd, Martina Navratilova, and Steffi Graf.
80s Soccer
In 1982, the teams participating in the FIFA World Cup were increased to 24 to encourage more nations to compete. Two World Cups were held during the 80s – the 1982 Cup was held in Spain, where Italy defeated West Germany, and in Mexico in 1986, when Argentina beat West Germany.
80s Golf
The 80s were the beginning of a huge popularity boost for golf; complete with the appropriate 80s outfits. One legend in particular won more tournaments than the competition – Jack Nicklaus. Other golf legends of the 80s were Seve Ballesteros, Tom Watson, and Ben Crenshaw.
Figure Skating in the 80s
The 80s were also the glory days of ice skating. Some legendary skaters were in their prime. In 1988, Kurt Browning landed a quadruple jump at the Olympics, a first for the sport.
Midori Ito also rose to the top at the same Olympics, becoming the first female to land a triple axel, and also the first to land seven triples during her program. Other notable skaters in the 80s were Scott Hamilton, Brian Boitano, Brian Orser, Katarina Witt, and the dance team of Torville and Dean.
80s Hockey
The 1980 Winter Olympics will go down in history because of one hockey game – known as The Miracle on Ice. A young, inexperienced US team upset the powerhouse Soviet team that everyone expected to win.
There was a great deal of political tension between the nations as the Cold War was still going on and President Carter was considering a boycott of the Summer Games in Moscow because of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan.
Starting in 1981, the New York Islanders won the Stanley Cup for four straight years – a record for any sport, and not just hockey.
Sports are a great way to unwind, whether playing or watching. The legends of 80s sports made it look easy and made us all want to improve our own game, whatever that may be.

I've wanted to post about our new tree and somehow never got to it. It came hoe with me after Thanksgiving. So did a rare and very nasty bought of sinusitis and bronchitis that laid me up for three weeks.
Steve of Furwood Forest, the creator of these wonderful trees noticed I was under the weather and called to make sure I got home OK and got the tree in without trouble. I had only just started to sneeze and sniffle but he noticed, he's a really nice person. By the time I recovered I had so many things to catch up on and I wanted to have some kind of Christmas celebration so I was busy, busy, busy. Then Simba got sick. Now sadly, she is gone, the holidays are over and I am caught up with things.
I am am trying to master the Go Pro camera I got so I can send some film of the cats using the tree to Steve for his Facebook page. I have got a few clips that are decent although unedited I will post for him. I hope to get better. He says people love the trees but only send him pictures of them siting in whatever room they've placed them but with no cats in sight. That's why I though a little film clip will be good. Catching the cats doing something photogenic is not always easy. They often finish what they're doing before I get to the camera or have it ready. And the lighting in my house is abysmal, so with ineptitude with the Go Pro quite a bit has come out to poorly to use. Now I am committed to this post I will have to work extra hard t get some got shots, either still or film.
Well Marty Scorsese has no worries for sure, but I got to show the cats. Actually I am rather happy I figured out the best way to save the clips off the Go Pro onto my laptop, research the best service to use to transfer them, singn up for a free Vimeo account and get the clips embedded. I have to say Vimeo makes things remarkably easy. Now I just need some better lighting!!

Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It is primarily aimed at the GNU/Linux platform but also works on BSD and MacOS. It is currently being ported to Windows as a GSOC project.
Non-linear video editing is much more powerful than beginners' (linear) editors, hence it requires a bit more organization before starting. However, it is not reserved to specialists and can be used for small personal projects.
Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation.

Lyszka Kastely Tokaji Aszu Essencia
The wine of Kings! The wines of Tokaji have been cherished by European nobles and royals for centuries. Botrytis cinera was utilized in Tokaji centruries before late harvest wines were being made at Chateau d'Yquem. Called the "ultimate dessert wines," these are also fabulous aperitifs, sure to provide an astonishing taste sensation. Tokaji Aszu, product of completely natural fermentation, never fortified or "cooked" like a madeira, have also legendary fame as health tonics in Hungarian folk lore. The wines are very high in residual sugar and fermented over an extremely long time - often over several years. A gorgeous example that is a very rare treat that will not be forgotten.

Ohm Raku Pendant Aromatherapy Essential Oil Necklace
Peacock beads, Czech Cathedral beads, Glass pearls, Antique Silver plated Accent Beads and Toggle Clasp are just a few of the components that are used in creating this one of a kind necklace.
The Raku pottery's interesting rainbow like glaze effects are created through a unique firing process. The bottle is sealed in a glaze with high copper content. The pottery is fired like any other ceramic, but is removed while the glaze is still molten hot. The piece is then placed in a bin of combustible materials. These ignite, causing a reaction with the copper, resulting in a colorful luster and irregular surface patterns.
Ohm(Om)according the Hindu mythology is believed to be the first sound to pervade through the universe at the beginning of time. Worshipers of this sacred symbol are blessed with luck, material comforts & spiritual powers, also in many cultures is know as a symbol of peace and balance.

A few days ago I was complaining about our Minnesota winter, and that we were expecting more snow this week. Well, we got it last night, resulting in another 10″+! But I also got a day off from work because school was cancelled, so I'm not complaining that much. High school track & field here officially starts a week from yesterday, so I'm not sure how long it will be before teams can actually get on the tracks, but it's going to be a while.
So staying in the tropics will continue for Daily Track Pic. Today we are in the Dominican Republic, and the track found inside Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez. This is the largest stadium in the country with a seating capacity of 27,000. It was first opened in 1974. Originally named after Juan Pablo Duarte, it was renamed to honor Félix Sánchez after he won the Olympic gold medal in the 400m hurdles in Athens in 2004. He won the event again last summer in London. As you can see, there is a second warm-up track outside the stadium here as well.

No matter the ups and downs,
Or the criss-crossing silver lines
With the shadows-
The clash of words and images
And the confusions that reign;
All drown when the notes play.
Fade away when the chords resonate-
With lyrics so true-
A lift from my life.
Wonder which is the precursor?
Music or the art of life?
In their strings,
Optimism bursts forth.
As I hear on loop-
Certain songs that bring tears-
Cleanse and purge out of purgatory-
The stuck soul.
The haunting leit motif,
Draws out inspiration from within.
To arise and rise-
Sanguine but wise.
To keep the faith and plough on-
March towards the blinding light
Letting the steps carry me over,
To freedom yonder.
Keep my belief in your love steadfast-
And remain unwavering in my decision of you.
Music gives strength to the chapped vision-
Re-instates courage to see beyond what meets the eye.
Mellows the storms within,
Keep calm and walk on.
As the wings soar high,
Letting the wind carry the lightness forth-
The loved face flashes by-
In its rhythm my life.

Jette made his move in the shot put as his distance of 39-08.75 was the longest in the meet. The put was just off his career best of 40-00.00 which came at last season's indoor championships. Stich easily set his career best in the event with a put of 38-02.75 which was tied for the second best during the day. Wagner finished at 37-02.25 for 566 points.
The trio rounded out their day in the high jump where Jette cleared 6-04.25 to lead the team. Wagner was successful at 6-00.75 to set a career best and Stich had a best of 5-08.00.
The main program of the meet will begin on Friday and continue through Saturday afternoon. Sacramento State will be represented by 25 men and 26 women over the two days. The women were picked second and the men were tabbed third in the preseason coaches poll as both teams trailed the host Lumberjacks.
Sacramento State enters the meet with 17 marks ranked among the top five in the league during the regular season. Del Hoyo and Jelaia Jones are both seeded among the top five in multiple events. Along with the pentathlon, Del Hoyo is fourth in the triple jump (38-06.25) and fifth in the 60-hurdles (8.85). Jones is second in the shot put (47-03.00) and fourth in the weight throw (57-07.75). Just ahead of Jelaia Jones in the weight throw is teammate Morgan Jones who owns a best of 58-11.50.
Danielle Brandon heads to Flagstaff with the best pole vault in the Big Sky. The senior cleared 13-04.25 at the New Mexico Classic and is 2.5 inches ahead of North Dakota's Kyley Foster who is second in the league. Last season, Brandon placed second at the conference indoor and outdoor championships. She was the Big Sky outdoor champion in 2016 and placed second indoors that same season.
Freshman Brittany Patterson triple jumped 39-05.00 at the New Mexico Classic and has remained the Big Sky leader for the rest of the year. Patterson is one of three Big Sky athletes to surpass 39 feet during the year and has a 1.75 inch edge of the next closest mark.
On the men's side, Cory Barger, Jah Strange and Kyle Peterson are second in the long jump, triple jump and weight throw, respectively. Barger jumped 24-03.75 during the season which places him two inches behind Idaho's Kasin Pendergrass Anderson for the top distance in the league. Strange set the school record at 51-03.50 at the New Mexico Classic but saw his conference leading mark passed by Keshin McGee of Eastern Washington who jumped 51-09.75 a week later. Peterson threw 61-11.00 at the Husky Classic during the final weekend of the regular season. That distance made him one of three in the conference to throw over 61 feet.
Andre Lindsey, who won the 110-hurdles title at last season's outdoor meet, will look to complete the career double in the 60-hurdles. Lindsey is seeded third with a best of 8.01 at the Bronco Invite. The regular season leader was Khalil Dorsey of NAU who ran an adjusted time of 7.91.
Another conference champion is Darius Armstead who finished first in the triple jump at the Big Sky indoor and outdoor meets a year ago. Armstead had an indoor best of 51-02.75 to win the championship last season but has not competed this year due to injury.

When is John Wick 4 out in cinemas? Who will star in it? What's it about?
The fourth movie in the assassin franchise has been confirmed
Having knocked Avengers: Endgame off the top of the box office, it's of little surprise to anyone that Lionsgate has green-lit a sequel to John Wick: Chapter 3.
- Guns, swords, mayhem – and a Matrix reference – in the kick-ass new John Wick 3 trailer
- Keanu Reeves: I wanted to play Batman
- Keanu Reeves to play Toy Story 4 character with a "Buzz Lightyear edge"
The opening weekend of the assassin film's third outing did vastly better than expected, pulling in $57 million – significantly outstripping its predecessors; John Wick only took $14.4 million on its opening, and John Wick: Chapter 2 made $30.4 million.
Here's everything we know about John Wick: Chapter 4…
When is John Wick 4 out in cinemas?
Fans who signed up to receive text message updates about John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum were the first to learn of the sequel, after they were sent a message which read: "You have served. You will be of service. John Wick: Chapter 4 is coming – May 21, 2021." No word yet on whether that date will differ for UK cinema-goers.
Who will star in John Wick 4?
Details are sparse, seeing as all we currently have is that one text message, however, Keanu Reeves is highly likely to reprise his role as brooding ex-hitman John Wick.
We could also see a return of Ian McShane as Winston, who may have shocked Wick with his sudden change of heart in John Wick 3's final moments.
And it is likely to be another Matrix reunion, with Laurence Fishburne's now heavily-scarred Bowery King seemingly threatening war with the High Table at the end of John Wick 3. He looks all but set to reprise his role.
What's John Wick 4 about?
Again, details are sparse but the film will follow on from the events of John Wick 3, which saw Wick with a $14 million bounty on his head.
Fighting past the world's most ruthless assassins, Wick looked set to be a dead man as the film drew to a close but he lived to see another day, expressing his anger with murky organisation The High Table who put the hefty price on his life. The fourth instalment has been teed up as a battle between the assassin and the powerful criminal council.
Is there a trailer for John Wick 4?
Not yet, but keep checking back here for the latest. For now, here's a look of John Wick 3.
When is John Wick 3 released on DVD?
John Wick 3 will be released on DVD in the UK on 16th September 2019.
John Wick 4 will be released in cinemas on May 21, 2021.

Hello everyone,
someone have an idea about how can i send a command using XBee? For example, set a waypoint. I have read about Mavlink protocol.
Views: 485
Yes, i know, but i mean from another device, for instance a tablet.
Is a tablet with Android? How can i install Mission Planner on a tablet? I think that you can only on Windows, right? I want to develop a software to control the drone from the tablet, so i will need to send message from the tablet to drone.

This Fourth of July Independence Day don't just wave your American Flag and eat a Hot Dog! (although these are not bad ways to enjoy the holiday!)
As you enjoy this most patriotic of American holidays please make sure to take a moment to thank a current or former member of the armed services or if they are deployed, thank their spouse!
Also – remember that the North Carolina State Police are stepping up enforcement this week with numerous Driving While Impaired checkpoints so if you are planning on enjoying adult beverages make sure that you designate a driver or captain if you are boating.

Makita Rebar Tying Tool
Okay, we know that a rebar tying tool may not have broad appeal, but ya gotta admit, it's pretty cool. Makita's new LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Rebar Tying Tool has a tying capacity of up to 5,300 ties (of #3 by #3 diameter rebar) on just one charge of Makita's 5.0Ah battery. That's a lot of ties. This tool also works with #4 and #5 diameter rebar, and Makita claims that it can tie multiple bars in under one second. The tying strength can also be digitally adjusted if different tension strengths are required. Plus, the wire reel is easy to reload and delivers up to 120 ties of #3 by #3 rebar per reel. Makita's 18v LXT Cordless Rebar Tying Tool (XRT01ZK) is available now online and in stores for $2,385.21.
Wet/Dry Dust Extractor
The new Wet/Dry Dust Extractor from Bosch is the latest in a line of products designed to help construction pros comply with OSHA's new dust regulations. The extractor provides industrial grade power, filtering fine dust, coarse dirt, and liquids. There's not a lot that's going to slow this beast down, with a 17-gallon capacity and a 17.5-amp motor. This power and the extractor's 300 CFM (cubic feet per minute) capacity make it ideal for concrete pros looking to control dust when grinding or cutting through concrete. Bosch's 17-Gallon 300-CFM Dust Extractor can be purchased online for $1,499.99.
DEWALT's new line of hammers
A good hammer is an essential weapon in every pro's arsenal. DEWALT's new line of hammers includes 14 hammer in total and six new "Extended Performance" designs, all built to provide durability and to lessen the amount of vibration users experience. Each of the Extended Performance hammers features DEWALT's innovative grip technology that dampens vibration, reducing sting by 35%. DEWALT's new hammer line contains hammers designed for framing, finishing, demo and more, and features the 22 oz. 1 pc. Steel Hammer, winner of a 2018 Pro Tool Innovation Award. DEWALT's first line of hammers were very popular, and they assured us that if you liked the first generation, you're going to love this second generation. For more information on the entire line of DEWALT hammers check out DEWALT's website.
ImpactGard from JELD-WEN
If you live or build in an area that is frequently hit by dangerously powerful storms, consider ImpactGard windows from JELD-WEN. ImpactGard windows are made from laminated glass that JELD-WEN says can withstand a strike from a 9-lb. piece of lumber flying at speeds up to 34 mph. The glass may crack after a heavy impact, but the chards will adhere to a special interlayer that hold it all together within the frame. This is both a safety and security feature. Glass shards won't get everywhere if the window breaks, and potential thieves won't be able to climb in through a busted window. On top of all of that, ImpactGard windows are designed to block out more sound and up to 95% of harmful UV rays. For more information and to find out where you can buy ImpactGard windows, click here.
M12 Rocket Tower Light
The M12 ROCKET Dual Power Tower Light is the first stand light to be part of Milwaukee Tool's M12 system. Built specifically with construction pros in mind, the ROCKET light is light-weight and portable so it can be set up in tight spaces. To make up for its light weight, this tower light has a low center of gravity and an impact resistant base so that it doesn't topple over easily. The light can either be plugged into an extension cord, or it can run for up to 10 hours on a single charge of the M12 Redlithium XC6.0 battery. The M12 ROCKET Dual Power Tower Light can be purchased (tool only) online and in stores for $169.00.
18V LXT® Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless 10" Top Handle Chain Saw
It's a race to fill out the product lineups of cordless alternatives to gas-powered landscaping equipment, and Makita remains among the leaders. Their latest competitor is a fully-cordless top handle chainsaw with a brushless motor and a 10-in. blade. Top handle saws (also called arborist saws) are much more maneuverable. They work great for trimming trees and are a must for those arborists dancing amongst the tree tops. The chainsaw's features include:
- Weighs 7.2 lbs.
- Torque boost mode for cutting through dense material
- Variable speed trigger
- Adjustable, automatic chain lubrication
The Makita 18V LXT Lithium Ion Brushless Cordless 10" Top Handle Chain Saw will be available soon. For more information, click the link above.

Esk Valley Chardonnay 2014 Hawke's Bay
Classic bouquet of Hawke's Bay Chardonnay with vibrant and forward suggestions of oak and roasted stone fruits together - peach and vanilla, apple and toasted wood; a light yet distinctive layer of stone based mineral and a youthful medium+ complexity overall. On the palate - full-bodied , bold and dry; flavors of roasted sweet peach and nectarine, apple and raw brown sugar, a light caramelised/toasty oak moment and medium+ acidity; the wine has bite and grip - it's young - and a little wood tannin adds texture and length. Overall a lovely wine in its prime with a long finish.
