Welcome to Mollyson Holidays ! We are excited to offer you an Amazing Holy Land Tours from India. Our Christian holy land travel tour packages covers Holy Places in Israel, Jordan and Egypt. A Holy Land Tourfor Christian Pilgrimage is the best way to discover the Holy Land and understand the Gospels, reading passages at the sacred sites connected with them. If you have had the privilege of the land or those not able to visit the holy land places in which Jesus chose to be born and live his life can get to know it through us.
Two millennia have passed since the Annunciation to Mary of Nazareth, the event that marks the start of Christian Era. For two thousand years, a constant flow of pilgrims has been booking Holy Land Tour Packages to visit the sacred places where the Gospel was preached. They come to the city of Jerusalem which, St. Paul writes, will be the center of the new order.
Holy Land Jerusalem and Israel Tours
Jerusalem is one of the Holy Places in Israel. References and quotations about Jerusalem in the Bible are innumerable. It is known as the Sacred city, Jerusalem the Golden, The City of Peace and also The City of David, Zion. There is not another city that has been the cause of so many armed conflicts as Jerusalem. Its holy sites, revered by the three great monotheistic faiths, are a constant draw to pilgrims from all over the world.
In the sixth century, an artist created a mosaic map marking sites mentioned in the bible. This map, which is in Madaba in Jordan, shows the area of the Holy Land, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the Sinai desert and Nile Delta in Egypt. The Near East becomes an enlarged Holy Land, reaching its figurative peak in the depiction of Jerusalem, which is given clear theological significance as the center of the world. The Near East without borders becomes the symbol of a new reality of peace.
Holy Land Tour Packages Israel Christian Tour
Bethlehem is another Holy Land Pilgrimage which in Hebrew means “house of bread” was originally called Ephrath, and has many biblical associations reflecting a tranquil, pastoral existence. Here Jacob buried his beloved wife Rachel and here was enacted the story of Ruth. Bethlehem is revered as the birthplace of David and of Jesus. East of Bethlehem, in the village of Belt Sahur is the Shepherds’ field where the Angel appeared to the shepherds and announced the birth of Jesus. There is a Greek Orthodox Church built over a cave and another church was built for the Franciscans by Barluzzi in 1950.
Joseph and Mary came from Holy Land Nazerath to Bethlehem for the census ordered by the Roman authorities because Joseph was of the lineage of David and Bethlehem was the “City of David”.
With Holy Land Tour to Bethlehem you would see paintings of Fresco depicting the angel announcing the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, Interior of the Shepherds’ field church, Grotto of the Shepherds’ field church, Church of the Nativity with the Church of St Catherine, Wooden panel in the Basilica of the Nativity, Overshadowed by the massive stone walls of the Basilica of the Nativity is the Door of Humility, the small doorway to the church, Basilica of the Nativity, which has four rows of twelve brown Bethlehem stone pillars.
The Basilica of the Annunciation Nazareth, built on the spot where dominates the city, it is the fifth church built on the spot where the Angel Gabriel stood when he prophesied to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive a child, and remains of the earlier churches can still be seen. In this Holy Land Tour Package you would be see the painting of the Annunciation, The Grotto, the holiest area in the Basilica of the Annunciation, Detail of the Zodiac, Torso of a statue of St Peter holding the church and the key to the “Kingdom of Heaven”, Medieval or Romanesque capitals from the Crusaders’ Church.
The milky white Church of The Milk Grotto is a Franciscan chapel built over the cave in which the Holy Family sheltered during the fight to Egypt. Tradition holds that a drop of milk that fell from Mary’s breast while she was nursing Jesus caused the white color of the chalk in the Milk Grotto. New mothers collect the chalk and mix it with their food to ensure a plentiful supply of milk.
The Tomb of Rachel in Holy Land Tour Package is a small domed structure, is venerated by Jews, Christians and Mosalems. To this day jews come to pray here in times of trouble, especially women who pray for fertility and safe childbirth.
The Church of St Gabriel is the present Greek Orthodox church which was built over Mary’s Well and is also known as the house of Mary. The church dates back to 1741 and was built on the site of Byzantine and Crusader churches.
It was in Cana that Jesus performed his first miracle, changing water into wine at a wedding where he, his mother and his disciples were guests. There are two churches in Cana, a Greek Orthodox church and the Franciscan church of the miracle, which was built in 1879 over the ruins of a sixth century sanctuary. This was the site of the village synagogue where the wedding is believed to have taken place and young couples still come today to celebrate their marriages here. Excavations have revealed an inscription of a dedication written in Aramaic, buried in the mosaic floor, proving that this was indeed the site of the synagogue. In the crypt is an ancient pitcher reputed to the replica of one of the sixth original jars used to hold water at the time of the miracle. the chapel of saint Bartholomew is dedicated to Nathaniel, a native of Cana who was initially skeptical of Jesus.
History of Holy Land Mount Tabor, Capernaum, Tabgha and Beatitudes church
Mount Tabor is not mentioned by name in the Gospels, but according to tradition is the “high mountain apart” which Jesus ascended with the apostles Peter, James and John. With our Holy Land Tour Packages you would witness the magnificent view of all the lower Galilee from the summit of Mount Tabor, which is 660 meters high. The psalmist mentions it with Mount Hermon to illustrate the magnificence of God’s creation. The first churches were built on Mount Tabor in around 400 AD. In the time of the Crusaders, a strongly fortified monastery was built by the Benedictines, who managed to withstand attacks by Saladin.
Capernaum was a wealthy Jewish town at the time of Jesus. Here Jesus met his first deisciples Peter, Andrew, James, John and Matthew, all fishermen who worked on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus performed many miracles in Capernaum and the surrounding area. Here he healed Peter’s wife’s mother of a fever, brought a child back to life, cured a leper, healed the centurions’s servant. Among his many teachings here were the parable of the sower, of tares among the wheat, of a grain of mustard seed, of the treasure hidden in the field and of the fishing net.
The name Tabgha is a distortion of the Greek word Heptapegon, which means ‘Seven Springs’. In the past, seven springs met at this point and flowed into the Sea of Galilee, however today only five remain. This is the traditional site of the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes which Jesus performed in order to feed the multitudes who had come to hear him preach. The table rock where this miracle took place has been the altar of successive churches, the earliest built in the fourth century and replaced a century later by a larger structure. The mosaic pavement still remains in the modern church, which was built in 1982 for the German Benedictines in Byzantine style. The mosaic in front of the altar symbolizes the loaves and fishes, and in the transpet are beautiful mosaics depicting water birds and plants.
The Beatitudes Church is situated atop the Mount of Beatitudes over looking the Sea of Galilee, the octagonal shaped chapel of the church of Beatitudes marks the holy land spot where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount. Remains of a small Byzantine church were discovered here in 1935, but the Franciscans chose to rebuild the modern church on the hilltop, not over the ancient chapel. Constructed by Antonio Barluzzi of local basalt, with a colonnaded cloister of white stone surrounding it, the octagonal church recalls the eight blessings, one of which is inscribed on each wall. The mosaic on the floor is decorated with symbols of the virtues of man referred to in the sermon.
The Church of St Peter’s Primacy also known as Mensa Christi – The Table of Christ is along the shore and is also one of places to see in this Holy Land Tours Package. This chapel, whose simplicity is enhanced by the black basalt rocks used in its construction, marks the place where Jesus appeared for the third time after his death. Here Jesus appointed Simon Peter to the office of the Primacy. The church was built by the Franciscans in 1934 on Byzantine foundations and the rock emerging from the center of the floor is the “table” at which they ate. The church is located on a small quay with rock-hewn steps on which Jesus is said to have stood as he looked over the water.
Explore The Mount of Temptation, Mount Olives and Mount Zion with this Holy Land Tour
On the side of a mountain west of Jericho is the Greek Orthodox Monastery called the Monastery of Quarantel ( from the Latin for”forty days”) or the Monastery of the Temptation. According to tradition, it was here that Jesus isolated himself and fasted for forty days. At the top of the mountain are the remains of a chapel, which marks the spot where Satan tempted Jesus. During the Byzantine period, hermits inhabited the area, living in the caves. The present-day monastery was built at the end of nineteenth century with funds donated by the Russian church. It was carved out of the mountain side halfway up and built partly in the rock over the chasm. Today it is inhabited only by a few monks.
Mount of Olives is again another Catholic Pilgrimage for Christianity. No mountain hold more far reaching importance and sentiments than Olivet, or the mount of Olives, nowhere did jesus spend more time during his mission in Jerusalem. When Jesus was in the area, he would stay with his friends at Bethany and on his way to and from the cityhe would pass through the Mount of Olives. Here, overlooking the temple, he taught his disciples, prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and wept over its fate. On its slopes, in the Garden of Gethsemane, he was taken captive and from its summit he ascended. In antiquity, the Mount was indeed covered with the Olive trees but the Romans cut most of them down to build the rampart for the siege of Jerusalem during the Great Revolt of the Jews in 70 AD.
The mountain is first mentioned in the Bible when king David, fleeing from Absalom went up by the ascent of Mount Olive. During second temple times, Jewish pilgrims would bring their red heifers here to be burnt for the ashes of purification and signal fired were lit at the new moon to inform Jews of the new month’s coming. Here Ezechiel viewed the heavenly chariots and Zechariah prophecied the End of Days. Legend tells that the Messiah will enter the Temple courts through the now blocked Golden Gate opposite the mountain. For this reason, pious Jews have throughout the ages chosen to be buried here so as to be among the first to follow the Messiah on the Day of Redemption.
In the time of Old Testament, Mount Zion was the name given to the City of David. However by Jesus’ time, almost one thousand years later, a monument to David’s tomb had migrated to the present Mount Zion. The tomb fell into ruin in 133 AD but was accidentally rediscovered in 1158 and is venerated to this day by Christians, Jews and Moslems. On the tomb are silver crowns from Torah scrolls brought to Israel from synagogues in the Diaspora which were destroyed together with their communities during the Holocaust. Jews come to pray at the Tomb of David throughout the year, but especially at Shavuot (The Feast of Weeks), the date of David’s death.
Holy Land Tour Package covers Cairo, Pyramids, Sphinx, Museum & Nile River Cruise
Your Egypt holy land tour begins with a visit to the enigmatic Sphinx and the three greatest pyramids in Egypt. At 500 feet high and 750 feet wide at its base the Great Pyramid of Khufu (Cheops) is a breath taking man-made structure, built from enormous stone blocks with a white limestone covering. Over the years, the limestone covering has been stripped away to expose the inner block structure. Along with the smaller pyramids of Khafre (Chephern) and Menkaure (Mycerinus), the inspiring sight of these huge structures looming out of the desert is an unforgettable site. You will have a chance to climb inside the pyramids if you wish, but you’re on your own, as your guide cannot accompany you (a limited number of tickets are available for the Great Pyramid). After the Pyramids we then head into downtown Cairo to explore the sprawling Egyptian Museum. The museum is home to the famous Tutankhamen exhibit and a huge number of other ancient Egyptian artifacts.
If you have ever dreamed of exploring ancient Egypt, longed to follow the footsteps of ferrars or imagine the desert sun setting over, the Emerald Nile you are ready to step aboard a Nile river cruise for over 5000 years. The Nile has been the lifeblood of Egypt and there is simply no better way to experience that wealth of the Egyptian history culture and architecture then on a Nile river cruise.

Brady Thurston had a good start to the fall rodeo season; the only Rustler to place in the top five in two different events.
Thurston placed third in the saddle bronc riding. Although he only scored a 69 overall for both days luck was on his side as other bronc riders failed to make a score in the final round on Sunday. Top rider for the weekend was Tayte Clark of Sheridan College who was able to score both days.
"I'm impressed with Brady's performance this week," said Drew Schrock, rodeo coach. "Last week he received a shoulder injury during practice so to be able to come in with an injury and place in the top five is impressive."
In his next event, team roping, Thurston and partner Bryce Sturman placed fourth overall. In the long go-round the team received a time of 10.9 seconds but came back in the short go-round with a little longer time; 14.0 seconds.
In the steer wrestling event four CWC cowboys were only seconds from making the short go-round. With only the top ten making it to the final round the four cowboys placed consecutively starting at the 11th position. Danny Huxtable was the leader with a time of 9.7 seconds; only 1.1 seconds away from tenth place. Teigen Finnerty followed with 11.1 seconds, with only one second more Dalton Burgener had 12.1 seconds on the clock and bringing up 14th was Thurston with 13.9 seconds.
"This team is going to do well this season, I think once they get some of the freshman jitters out they will continue to improve," Schrock said. "They all performed well for their first rodeo. All the steer wrestlers are on the point's team and were mere seconds away from making the final round; I know they will continue to improve at each rodeo. This week we will work on timed event horses and their box work, along with mental preparation to make sure each one of them understands that they are capable of competing at this level. We look forward to the next rodeo and what's to come."
The next rodeo for the fall season will be in Sheridan, Wyoming September 23-25.


The Expedition 53 crew aboard the International Space Station is gearing up for the third and last in a series of spacewalks planned this month to complete repair work on the Space Station’s robotic arm and deal with broken cameras and other outfitting tasks on the exterior of the complex. Stepping outside on Friday, Astronauts Randy Bresnik and Joe Acaba will complete work on Canadarm2, continue revamping the external camera system and prepare for future robotic maintenance activities outside the modules.
Expedition 53 crew members Randy Bresnik and Mark Vande Hei spent almost thirteen and a half hours working outside on the two previous EVAs in this series, completed on October 5 and 10 to great success as each excursion saw the completion of all primary tasks plus two bonus get-ahead tasks. This allowed time to be freed up for Friday’s EVA so that additional tasks could be added for the last EVA and leave ISS in a better posture than initially expected.
The major objective of the three October EVAs was the replacement of one of two Latching End Effectors (LEE) on the Space Station’s robotic arm that had suffered a motor stall within its latches back in August which left it without an ability of forming a power/data bridge with whatever it is grasping, also precluding it from walking from one base point to another.
The LEE-A replacement on October 5 went without any major issues and the second spacewalk by Bresnik and Vande Hei was dedicated to lubricating the newly installed end effector to ensure its moving parts can operate smoothly for years to come. Additional tasks completed during the EVAs included the replacement of an external camera group that had exhibited a bothersome pink hue due to a faulty filter wheel.
With the robotic arm back in working condition, ROBO operations were able to resume where they left off in August with the replacement of an external power switching box known as a Remote Power Control Module or RPCM. The RPCM in question, designated P12B-B, powers the String 2 S-Band transmitter responsible for receiving and sending data, including commands from Mission Control, as part of a redundant system. The outage of the RPCM was without consequence as S-Band String 1 continued to operate while Canadarm2 ops had to stand down.
Giving the new Latching End Effector a test drive, Canadarm2 picked up the two-armed Dextre robot and maneuvered it in position to access the faulty power module on the Station’s truss earlier in the week. The failed RPCM was pulled out of its slot without issue but the installation of the spare unit required two attempts by ROBO controllers before the replacement could be declared complete in the evening hours on Wednesday. Dextre was then stowed and ROBO controllers pushed into preparations for SSRMS support of Friday’s EVA.
Bresnik and Acaba plan to begin their EVA at 12:05 UTC after the usual multi-hour process of getting into their suits, pre-breathing pure oxygen, checking all EMU systems and going through a methodical airlock depressurization process.
U.S. EVA-46 is the fifth career EVA for Randy Bresnik after he already added two spacewalks to his record earlier this month. He will be reprising his role as the lead spacewalker or EV-1, wearing Extravehicular Mobility Unit #3003 with red stripes. For Joe Acaba, it will be the first EVA of this mission and the third career spacewalk after he supported a pair of six-and-a-half-hour excursions as part of the STS-119 mission in March 2009. He will use EMU #3008 without stripes.
The two crew members will be looking at a slightly different EVA task list as a number of items originally planned for the third EVA have already been checked off through fast work on the first two spacewalks.
The continued lubrication of the newly installed LEE-A has been deleted from the EVA as Mark Vande Hei already greased the most important components of the end effector on EVA-45, leaving the LEE in good condition as is. The replacement of a camera system on the Destiny laboratory was also deferred to another spacewalk to make room for the replacement of a Camera Light Assembly (CLA) on Latching End Effector A.
Per the original plan for EVA-46, the robotic arm will be parked on the starboard truss of ISS after the bulk of work on EVAs-44 and 45 occurred on the port side.
On the agenda for Randy Bresnik will be the replacement of a failed fuse on the Dextre robot that provides a redundant power supply to payloads installed on the robot’s temporary holding platform formally known as the EOTP – Enhanced Orbital Replacement Unit Temporary Platform. Meanwhile, Joe Acaba will be outfitting the robotic arm for two EVA tasks involving the SSRMs.
Joe Acaba will take a ride on the arm for the installation of an HD Camera on the existing Camera Group on Camera Port 3 on the lower face of the S1 truss segment, continuing to bring the Station’s external TV system into the current century by adding high-definition capability. CP-3 was to receive its HD Camera back in May on EVA-42 by Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer; however, the task had to be deferred when the EVA was shortened due to an airlock equipment malfunction.
The first two external HD cameras were installed on U.S. EVA-37 last year and their views have not disappointed and have also come in handy for engineering assessments of external systems. The External High Definition Camera Assemblies (EHDCAs) have been specifically designed as an add-on, not requiring the existing camera network to be touched to maintain its full functionality. Each EHDCA houses a commercial Nikon D4 DSLR in a pressurized, thermally controlled housing.
An electrical motor is responsible for setting the zoom level on a 28-300 lens which will allow for close-up inspections of external components. The cameras can be operated to deliver 720p, 60fps video or 16.2-megapixel still images (ISO 100-12800), making them an extremely useful tool for external inspections carried out remotely from the ground as well as Earth imaging without the need for crew time. Each 12.8-Kilogram EHDCA comprises a pressurized enclosure, holding the commercial off the shelf camera, the lens assembly, a power supply, heaters and a data system consisting of an h.264 video encoder, an Ethernet switch and a pair of wireless radio antennas.
To avoid excessive external reconfigurations, the camera units were designed to only tap into the Station’s 120 VDC power supply and send imagery wirelessly to the inside of the Station where footage is stored ahead of downlink to the ground. Therefore, installing the cameras is relatively simple, requiring Acaba to slide the new camera into place, secure its mechanical connection and plug into the CP electrical circuit. In the new arrangement, the SD and HD video cameras share a Camera, Light Pan and Tilt Assembly and always point to the same direction.
The second task involving Canadarm2 is the replacement of the Camera and Light Assembly (CLA) on the recently installed Latching End Effector A to provide ROBO controllers with a clear and bright view of the LEE’s targets for proper positioning when grappling items. The current LEE-A (S/N 203) spent its first 15 years on ISS as the end effector of the POA (Payload/ORU Accommodations), a temporary holding platform on the Mobile Base for stowing large, powered payloads as part of robotic operations, essentially giving Canadarm2 an extra hand for holding onto items while going through base changes, etc.
Delivered in 2002, the LEE was only actuated 14 times as part of its POA duties; however, its systems – including the CLA – had to weather the challenging space environment for an extended period. Therefore, space-induced degradation on the camera and/or light was not a major surprise.
In order to have LEE-A at full functionality for visiting vehicle grapples and external maintenance operations, teams desire to replace the CLA on EVA-46. Weighing under 16 Kilograms, the CLA attaches to the End Effector with two bolts that can be driven via a pair of Micro Devices on the top side of the CLA. For the replacement, the EVA crew will release the two bolts, remove the failed unit and put the replacement into a soft-docked configuration making use of magnets and alignment guides. Blind-mate connectors will automatically form the power/data interface between the LEE and the CLA as the new unit is put in place, requiring the two bolts to be driven to torque using the Pistol Grip Tool.
The other prime tasks laid out for EVA-46 will see the continuation of the removal of Multilayer Insulation Covers from various Orbital Replacement Units stowed on the Station’s two External Stowage Platforms and four Express Logistics Carriers. When being launched on the Shuttle, most ORUs had a thermal blanket installed on them to shield them from the extreme thermal variations outside the Station as well as debris and micrometeoroid impacts.
However, as the Station’s Canadarm2 and Dextre robot expanded their capabilities and proved they could handle the replacement of the majority of ORUs on their own, without a spacewalking crew present, a new problem arose. Dextre and Canadarm2 are perfectly equipped to deal with the ORU replacement, but they can not retrieve spares that are covered with MLI blankets. Thermal analysis showed the units would not suffer any major degradation if left uncovered and their exterior chassis was also built to handle typical MMOD hits, allowing them to be uncovered for robotic access.
Over the course of a number of recent EVAs, crews removed a number of MLI blankets as fairly straightforward get-ahead tasks that could have a meaningful impact down the road – allowing standard ORU replacement operations to be completed robotically and so eliminate a spacewalk that would require precious crew time better spent with ISS utilization operations.
A number of get-ahead tasks are available for the EVA should time permit additional work to be completed. The crew has completed the assembly of the External Television Camera Group (ETVCG) earmarked for Camera Port 13 on the Destiny Lab and is likely to position it in the airlock to be available for installation should EVA time allow. Other available get ahead tasks include additional MLI removals to make more spare parts accessible to the Station’s robots.

You can listen to the new album Perfect Symmetry from Keane on Last.fm starting October 6th. I'm not totally in love with the first song I've heard 'Spiralling' (there's this 'oh ' sound that I don't quite love, yet), so I'm happy to get a full preview online. I think their last album Under The Iron Sea was perfection and it is very special to me. It will be hard to top the last one.
Perfect Symmetry is set to be released on October 13th and is currently available for pre-order on iTunes.


The teams traded field goals early in the final quarter, before Big Ben again went to work, turning a Willis McGahee fumble into a 31-yard touchdown pass to Jerricho Cotchery to tie the contest at 23-23 with just under four minutes left.

Niagara University’s Family Business Center recently celebrated its 15th anniversary with a reception held at Consumer’s Pub at the Park, Coca Cola Field in Buffalo on Jan. 25. More than 50 people were in attendance, representing such organizations as West-Herr Automotive Group, National Fire Adjustment Company, Moses Insurance Group, and the Small Business Development Center.
The center was established in 2003 and is dedicated to serving the needs of family and privately owned businesses in Western New York through the exchange of knowledge. The center's mission is to develop and exchange relevant information on family business issues in order to strengthen the stability and long-term viability of family and privately owned businesses through education, research and service.
In his address to the attendees, Vincent Agnello, the founder and director of the center, thanked the university, college and sponsors for their continued support. He thanked the many great speakers that have provided valuable information to the business members that has helped strengthen area businesses and provided them valuable guidance over the years. Over the past 15 years, the center has honored many great firms, such as Wegmans, Delaware North, and publishing giant Rodale Inc. with its Family Business of the Year Award.
The center has hosted over 90 presentations by experts in their field on topics such as succession planning, dealing with family conflict, hiring, security controls, and proven best business practices. Several past speakers also attended the event, including Robert Lane, of Lane Consulting and former CEO of Commodore Computers. Lane spoke on why businesses fail to a capacity crowd at the November 2017 breakfast forum. That same day, he also led a 90-minute interactive presentation on current trends in business with over 90 NU business students.
Niagara University's College of Business Administration is one of a network of over 60 colleges and universities that have established a family business center to assist businesses in their geographic area. Niagara saw the need for the support of family owned business since, as PwC reports, “More than 90 percent of all American businesses are owned and operated by families but based on recent studies, only one-third of family owned businesses will survive to the next generation and only 10 percent will survive transfer to a second generation.”
In thanking the center’s sponsors, Agnello emphasized that they were instrumental in the center’s success. These sponsors included Lincoln Moving & Storage, Mass Mutual, Niagara Frontier Publications, Planned Futures Financial Group, and WNY at Work.

Mount Etna erupts and adds to forest fire problem in Sicily
Catania, Italy - On the Italian island of Sicily, fire and lava from an eruption of its famed volcano Etna have once again lit up the night sky.
The volcano began to erupt around 1:00 AM local time on Monday, according to Yahoo News. The eruption was loud enough to wake locals, and sent plumes of ash into the air.
Lava flowed down the southeast side of the volcano, and at this point has presented no large threat to residents of the local town of Catania.
It has, however, launched small pumice stones into the town and created a shower of ash. Dense smoke also rose from the volcano's maw.
In a Telegram chat group set up by Sicily's civil protection authority, several users shared photos and videos of the eruption.
The glowing hot lava could be seen running down the mountain. Others shared pictures showing paths covered in volcanic ash.
Authorities did not report any major damage or injuries caused by Etna's eruption.
On Sicily, firefighters are also currently fighting numerous unrelated forest fires.
The surrounding provincial areas of Palermo, along with the eastern coast of the island, have recently been suffering from the widespread fires.

I started you a new thread hope it's OK.
Did you get your problem resolved?
Well Jimbo, Looks Like he has two problems. First one sounds like a bad solenoid and or a sticking drive gear. The second sounds like the low oil pressure switch is wired to the ignition, If so no spark to prevent engine damage. A bad pressure switch would be my guess.

Over the last 30 years or so dating in Spain has grown, especially with the many foreigners and ex-pats that have found new homes in Spain, the Balearics and the Canary Islands. Many arrived with a partner, a husband or wife but a surprisingly high number end up divorced, separated or single in Spain! Many turn to Spain or another country in an effort to ‘change’ a prior life of monotony and boredom or maybe to try to rescue a failing relationship. What people don’t realise is that the pressures on anybody moving to a new country are probably greater than those in our own countries. Compound it further with language barriers, frustrations with the Spanish system, the all too availability of alcohol notwithstanding the fact that it takes time to meet new people and make new friends. It’s easy to see why things might get off to a rocky start. There are s of single people from all over Spain, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands too.

Guide to Spanish work visas 3 comments Moving to Spain to work? Find out if you need a visa or permit to work in Spain, and the procedures for applying for your Spanish work permit.

Spain occupies about 85 percent of the Iberian peninsula, with Portugal on its western border. Other entities in Iberia are the Principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees and Gibraltar, which is under British sovereignty and is located on the south coast. The Pyrenees range separates Spain from France. The Atlantic Ocean washes Spain’s north coast, the far northwest corner adjacent to Portugal, and the far southwestern zone between the Portuguese border and the Strait of Gibraltar.
Spain is separated from North Africa on the south by the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea, which also washes Spain’s entire east coast. Spain also holds two cities, Ceuta and Melilla, on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco. Spain’s perimeter is mountainous, the mountains generally rising from relatively narrow coastal plains. The country’s interior, while transected by various mountain ranges, is high plateau, or meseta, generally divided into the northern and southern mesetas.
Great local diversity flourishes on Spanish terrain and is part of Spain’s essence. The people of hamlets, villages, towns, and cities—the basic political units of the Spanish population—and sometimes even neighborhoods barrios hold local identities that are rooted not only in differences of local geography and microclimate but also in perceived cultural differences made concrete in folklore and symbolic usages.

However, this name refers only to FC Barcelona , the football club. The common abbreviated form used by locals is Barna.

Here is a good article talking about an expatriate living in Spain.
We bought a plot of land and one of the largest developers in Moraira started to build our house. Well probably like many other people it was a lifestyle decision due to my intense working hours and high levels of stress. I had a job which was incredibly highly paid working as an IT consultant. Well my move to Spain has been a great success — I have no desire to move back to England and I love my life in Spain, unfortunately though my move to Spain coincided with me getting divorced and hence becoming single and this is how the Spanish dating website began.
When they move to Spain looking for a fresh start, of course their problems come with them! I knew the obvious things such as the great weather and climate which was for me a huge attraction, plus the fact that it already had a large English infrastructure. We can see the whole of Moraira and even Calpe in the distance. What happened was that I tried some and really thought that they could be a lot better and with my skills it was natural to develop what I wanted to see as an actual user of dating sites in Spain.
I know this must be difficult to talk about but it has to be said — I have noticed just how many relationships seem to break up in Spain. In Spain maybe for the first time ever they are together 24 hours a day and cracks can appear. Times have changed and the Internet has really helped. We also find out all about his dating in Spain website and how it is helping singles in Spain meet up and form relationships and friendships.

To painting to the left is of Charles II , king of Spain, the last of the Spanish Hapsburgs, and an imbecile whose premature death at the age of 39 ushered in a period of dynastic chaos which led to the War of Spanish Succession These conflicts between France and other European powers were one of those turning points in history, a sad capstone to the long reign of the Sun King, Louis the XIV.
But this a story of genetics as well as history, because historians have long assumed impressionistically that there was something rotten in the gene pool of the Spanish Hapsburgs. Here is an excerpt from an online biography of Charles II: His Habsburg jaw stood so much out that his two rows of teeth could not meet; he was unable to chew.
Self-employed farming has always been an honored trade others that do not involve food production were once seen as more dubious , but rusticity is not highly valued.

History[ edit ] The history of Spanish—British relations is complicated by the political heritage of the two countries. Neither the United Kingdom nor Spain has a unique constitutional ancestor; the United Kingdom was originally created by a union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland and later joined by Ireland , whilst the Kingdom of Spain was initially created by a union of the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon. They have also been complicated by the fact that the United Kingdom and Spain were both imperial powers, after the same land, an occurrence which is being played out to this day with the disputed ownership and status of Gibraltar.
Relations with Portugal always have been closer than those with Spain, and Spain and the United Kingdom have gone to war twice over Portugal’s independence. These forces saw action at the decisive battle of Aljubarrota , and proved to be vital in securing the continued independence of Portugal from its larger neighbours. The alliance submerged into crisis when Portugal supported Joan of Castile instead of her aunt Isabella I of Castile during the War of the Castilian Succession of — , because France also supported Joan’s candidature.

In Spanish dating, whether you are a person or a lady, machismo is something that you need to keep in mind through your entire date. It is an unwritten Spanish dating rule that the man is expected to play a little bit of a macho role while women should play up their femaleness. Hence guys need to put forward a positive male image. Girls, don’t forget to take extra time to primp and prepare because your date will expect that you will have taken extra effort to look nice for them.
It is pretty much alive in the world of Spanish dating. Much like the gender roles already discussed, chivalry is a tradition that is expected of men to uphold. Chivalry includes things such as holding the door open for the woman — often going as far as to bounce out of the automobile first to rush to the opposite side and open the door for the girl of the date. Pulling out seats for them and following the rule of “ladies first” are other typical examples of chivalry.
Men, this is all on you, but women make sure you expect this behaviour from your gentlemen! This is an unwritten rule in Spanish dating.

Fletcher’s Manchetser United kick-off the bid for a fourth Champions League win at home to Rangers tomorrow.
But the Scotland skipper knows the Premiership stars won’t have things their own way thanks to Smith.
Fletcher worked with Smith for six months at United and then for two years with the national team. And he reckons the Ibrox supremo deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Celtic and Scotland legend Stein and Ferguson.
The Scotland captain said: “If you look at the success Walter Smith has had, he’s one of the best managers around.
“He deserves to be up there with Stein and people like that. What he’s achieved at Rangers is fantastic. I’ve worked with Sir Alex at club level and Walter Smith is a real top manager. He’s definitely up with the gaffer and is similar in style. He’s also achieved. He’s got a presence and that’s important for a manager. I think he’s retiring too early if he goes this season but that’s his choice. Maybe he’ll change his mind, who knows.”
Rangers are big underdogs tomorrow night at Old Trafford. But Fletcher won’t underestimate them. He added: “Having played under Walter I know how organised his teams are. I know what to expect and it’s going to be a really difficult game for us.”
Fletcher has vowed United will bounce back after losing two stoppage time goals to draw 3-3 with Everton on Saturday.
He said: “That is not acceptable at Manchester United. Losing goals like that in the last minute is bitterly disappointing.
“It just fizzled out for us. We were knocking the ball around at 3-1 and had things under control. All we can do now is put it behind us and learn from it. It’s important we get off to a good start in the Champions League and we have Liverpool after that.”

SpaceX has conducted its second orbital launch of the year, named Transporter-3. The liftoff occurred at the opening of a 29-minute launch window at 10:25 AM EST (15:25 UTC) on Thursday, January 13, from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
This is the third dedicated rideshare mission operated by SpaceX, which delivered 105 satellites to a 525-kilometer altitude Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO).
Making its tenth trip to space, the Falcon 9 booster supporting this mission is B1058-10, having previously supported SpaceX’s first crewed flight (Demo-2), the launch of the ANASIS-II telecommunications satellite, the first resupply mission under the CRS2 contract (CRS-21), SpaceX’s first dedicated rideshare mission (Transporter-1), and five Starlink launches.
After launching on a southbound path along the Florida coast and separating from the second stage, the booster performed a boostback burn, followed by the entry and landing burns to return to Cape Canaveral and land on SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1). The last RTLS landing was the Transporter-2 mission in June of 2021.
On its way to orbit, the second stage performed a “dogleg” maneuver to keep its heading slightly west of due south to reach its desired orbital inclination, while ...

i will miss the way the sunlight spills across your corneas
and i will long to steal your gaze in mine.
i have never found such a perfect set of irises,
nor have i found myself so devoted to
a mouth that never dared to tell of its love for me.
but, maybe my lips are enough for us both;
the constant pouty mountains of flesh which spill the soul's secrets ―
and only to you, no doubt.
you have been told enough secrets for a thousand novels
and yet i feel like i have not said enough of my love for you.
darling, i must leave you now,
and it is no choice of mine.
but i can assure you that my secrets will only be told to you
or they will be only of you.
for as long as the sun decides to rise and spill her light upon us,
you will find yourself to be in this heart of mine

Mizzou Wrestlers Fall to No.4 Minnesota in Regional Finals
COLUMBIA -- The No. 13 Mizzou wrestling squad went 2-1 at the NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals on Saturday afternoon, defeating Cal Poly and No. 11 Michigan before losing to No. 4Minnesota in the Rutgers Regional Finals. Missouri is now 14-4 in duals this season.
The Tigers opened the day with a dominating 34-6 victory over Cal Poly, setting up a 21-12 victory over the Wolverines in the semifinals. Minnesota defeated the Tigers by a 26-7 score in the championship bout. Junior Brent Haynes had an impressive day, winning all three of his matches against ranked opponents, scoring bonus points in two of his bouts. Redshirt freshman Drake Houdashelt was also 3-0, which included a pin in his first contest.
No. 3 Alan Waters got the Tigers off on the right foot against Cal Poly, pinning Michael Clemmensen in 4:21 to put Mizzou up by a 6-0 score. Nathan McCormick made it 9-0 with a decision at 133 pounds before No. 2 Boris Novachkov defeated Nicholas Hucke, 7-4, putting Cal Poly on the board. Missouri would win their next two matches as Kyle Bradley scored a major decision and Houdashelt picked up his fall 3:48, giving the Tigers a 19-3 cushion.
After Cal Poly made it 19-6 after 165, the Tigers won the last four bouts, beginning with No. 18 Dorian Henderson's 3-2upset of No. 4 Ryan DesRoches. Missouri won by forfeit at 184,and then Haynes defeated No. 18 Ryan Smith by a 7-1 margin. Devin Mellon closed out the match with a 5-3 win at heavyweight.
Against Michigan, Waters again scored bonus points to open the dual, giving the Tigers a 5-0 advantage after his 19-4 technical fall. The Wolverines won the next two contests before Bradley pulled out a 5-3 win in the second sudden victory to upset No. 6 Eric Grajales, putting the Tigers back ahead. Houdashelt defeated Brandon Zeerip, 7-3, but Michigan would go back ahead with wins at the next two weight classes to go ahead 12-11.
Junior Clarence Neely put the Tigers back ahead with a dramatic 6-5 win over David Johnson at 184. Johnson scored a takedown with under 30 seconds left to take the 5-4 advantage, but Neely reversed Johnson with just 11 seconds left in the match to pull out the victory. Haynes then majored No. 15 Max Huntley, 8-0, to put the Tigers ahead by six, while Mellon capped the match with a 4-3 upset over No. 10 Ben Apland to make it 21-12.
In the finals, Minnesota won eight of the 10 contests to move to next weekend's Final Four round. No. 2 Zach Sanders knocked off Waters for the second time this year, defeating the Tiger, 8-6. It was just the second loss of the year, and first dual loss, for Waters this season. Back-to-back major decisions built the Golden Gopher lead to 11-0, and No. 10 Dylan Ness scored a sudden victory takedown to defeat Bradley at 149.
Missouri finally got on the board with Houdashelt's victory at 157, as he outlasted Daniel Zilverberg by a 6-4 score. Three straight decisions by Minnesota at 165, 174 and 184 put the match out of reach for the Tigers, but Haynes majored No. 6 Sonny Yohn by a 10-0 final, scoring his second win over Yohn this season.
Mizzou returns to action in two weeks, as they'll head down to Stillwater, Okla., for the team's final dual contest of the season. Action gets started at 7 P.M. on Friday, February 24


Remember the Pixar lamp? Well, [Rick] from [Phlegmatic Prototyping] decided to build his own.
It’s actually the third iteration of the project, the first being made from a cheap camera sensor, an ATMega328, a computer mouse and laser cut parts. The second iteration… sounds like it was the Pixar Lamp — and due to possible copyright infringement [Rick] decided not to show it off. Which brings us to number three, Robolamp the Third.
Quite obviously not the Pixar lamp now, [Rick] designed the whole thing in 3D CAD and had it printed at Shapeways. It uses a CMUCAM5 vision sensor that detects color hues, allowing the lamp to track colorful objects, like an orange, which ends up looking painfully cute. Just take a look at the video.
He even designed the PCB from scratch and had it made from Dirt Cheap Dirty Boards. Which means the entire project is very reproducible — maybe if we ask nicely he’ll release the source files? We could use a
Pixar Robolamp in the office!
UPDATE: [Rick] is planning on releasing the source for this! Will update with a link when available!

Why 3d print the lower parts over laser cut? Material consistency?
Awwwww…. – Cuteness overload.
Next: Make it jump!
I’ll just leave this here:
Too cute indeed! I like how the first version was able to reach with it’s “neck”, also. I’d like to see that extra servo added back to this version.
I can see a (commercial) use for this: situations where hands are not free (i.e. dirty or must stay sanitary), and the work area moves a bit (i.e. surgery), set it to recognize ‘double taps’ to move the spotlight. It could also be stepped up a bit for theater, actor tracking.
Give actors an IFF-style transpoder or surgeons a head mounted designator. I think most use some sort of headlamp in combination with a large flood light though.
A simple IR beacon would be visible to the camer but not people. If you’re recording as well modern post processing would be able to remove IR artifacts if a good lens filter couldn’t be developed.
The real challenge will be having the light field *not* follow every movement all the time in the work area, which produces a jittery light field.
You don’t realize how much your head moves until you try to do something with a helmet camera. A headlamp produces a predictable light area (move your head and it follows, move your eyes and it doesn’t), while following actual hand or head movement is a lot like having a five year old shine the flashlight while you change a fuse in the dark – they do their best but the result is very distracting.
You could work with thresholds and variable speeds.
Simple dead-zone in the middle would ensure the light stays put while you are working in the same area. Stray too far from the middle and it will slowly start to adjust, and if you happen to reach the the outer edge it will ramp up and move much quicker.
It does not have to keep the target at dead center ;)
Commercially your idea can be implemented on any lamp.
Strap this to it and you’ed have the cutest sentry drone in the world!
I… I think I want to cuddle it, but it’s not… I really wanna cuddle it… I wanna coddle it… PIXAR!!!!!! *invokes Kirk*
MAKE IT HOP!!!
For some reason I was very confused. CMUcam5 = Pixy Camera.
“and due to possible copyright infringement [Rick] decided not to show it off.”
WTF? show that off! unless you plan on selling that particular version there is nothing they can go after you for. TBH I don’t know if you can copyright a standardized table lamp that through CGI is anthropomorphic.. can you..? Can I make/copyright an animated razorblade character that because it has a nameand presence I can sue any razor company that animates a razor floating around handlessly in CGI animations?
That we even have to consider these things, we are at an odd state of affairs these days indeed.
No kidding. I wanna see this second iteration too. Hell, if anything, that’s money in their pocket since they can just hire him out to run a production line of them for sale. You’re right, it is a sad state of affairs that businesses lack enough innovation that copyright becomes the money-maker for them.
Here you are: http://youtu.be/1vplL1Qeut0 – that one was printed with an SLA printer. It had some mechanical problems though.
That was really good. It even hopped a little. +1

Issued by City of York Council
Councillor James Alexander, leader of City of York Council, introduced representatives from the Association of British Insurers, the National Flood Forum, members of the UK’s insurance businesses and the Federation of Small Businesses and Mary Creagh MP, Shadow Environment Secretary.
Looking ahead to the expiry in June 2013 of the Statement of Principles, the voluntary agreement between Government and the insurance industry that ensures that flood risk is incorporated in to household and small business insurance, the council wants to explore how major insurance companies, supported by the Government, can help those residents and businesses.
Councillor James Alexander, leader of City of York Council, said: “We want to raise the profile of this important issue that affects thousands of people locally, and millions of people across the country. Government has to take decisive action on the real and worrying problems residents and businesses sited on flood plains face.
“Premiums could rise next month unless ministers strike a deal with insurance firms. Residents tell me they fear that if an agreement isn’t found, they won’t be able to afford insurance and, at worst, couldn’t sell their homes.”
Mary Creagh MP, Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said: “Every £1 invested in flood prevention saves £8 later, not to mention the human trauma that is avoided. Cuts to flood defences also affect the availability and affordability of flood insurance.
“They opened the door to the insurers walking away from insuring properties in areas of high flood risk. There are five million homes at risk of flooding in Britain. The ABI classify 200,000 of them as high risk.”
She said that across the region, people are worried about the rising cost of flood insurance and cited a business whose insurance excess had risen from £500 to £250,000.
“We know that there is only one serious option on the table: the Flood Re model put forward by the ABI. This is a new fund established which will insure the 200,000 highest risk homes at a set price. Where insurers can offer cheaper cover, homeowners will be part of a free market, but for high risk properties, insurers will pass the cover to Flood Re and policy holders will be charged the set price.
“The Flood Re pot will then pay for the costs of claims for high-risk customers. The Flood Re pot will be funded by the set price fees from high-risk properties and a contribution from all home insurance policies in the UK. This will make explicit the cross-subsidy that already exists in every insurance policy.
“However, the ABI says that the fund also requires an ‘overdraft facility’ provided by Government in case the pot is emptied in the early years of the scheme, due to a large-scale event such as the 2007 floods.”
Matthew Cullen, the Association of British Insurers’ policy adviser on flooding, outlined the Flood Re option. He outlines how the Flood Re would offer set-price flood insurance based on council tax banding, with lower value homes having lower cost insurance. The Floor Re pot would need to be topped up by fund taken from a levy of between £3-£5 per policy from the insurance industry.
John Allen, chair of the Federation of Small Businesses said: “The FSB has said that it is unacceptable that small firms are paying out thousands of pounds because they cannot get adequate insurance protection.
“In November our out-going National Chair John Walker met with affected members and James Alexander to discuss the problem and to re-iterate our calls to Government and the insurance industry to do all they can to assist small firms affected by floods.
“We are delighted to have attended the Flood Insurance Conference and hope this will be the first step forward to help small firms plan and minimise damage to their businesses.”
Paul Cobbing, chief executive of the National Flood Forum said: “The National Flood Forum supports and represents people at risk of flooding. We have been working with Government and the insurance industry for over two and a half years to encourage them to find a replacement to the Statement of Principles.
“However, things are now getting critical. There is seven weeks to go before the agreement runs out with no sign of a solution in sight. In the meantime we are getting increasing numbers of people calling us for help; people who are renewing their insurance and can’t get reasonable quotes and those who are struggling to move but can’t get insured.”
Katharine Knox, policy and research programme manager at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, said that flooding has been identified as a direct result of climate change. She said it is going to become an even more important issue in the UK with more certain areas – particularly urban and coastal – being very vulnerable. She said that Yorkshire and the Humber is the most flood-disadvantaged region in England, and that an insurance agreement is needed that isn’t market-based.

The monument in honor of 1000 anniversary of Brest
Sculpture, monuments, memorials
The monument in honor of 1000 anniversary of Brest was set up through the local people and the finance of the authorities at the crossing of Sovetskaya and Gogol Street in 2009. The ceremonial opening was organized on the day of 990 anniversary of Brest 10 years earlier because then the anniversary will be only in 2019.
The monument is seen far away. Its height is 15 meters. The crown of it is an angel’s figure that is the guard of Brest. He has a cross and a shield. A little bit below, there are images of famous historical persons such as Prince Vladimyr Vasilkovich, the head of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania Vitovt and state figure of the 16th century Nikolay “the Black” Radziwill. There are also images of a mother, a soldier and a chronicler.
There is a high relief under the sculpture. It comprises 11 square meters. It depicts main events from the history of Brest: 6 historical plots. The first one tells about the foundation of the town. Of course there are a lot of opinions about that. But the author prefers the most popular one. In ancient times, a trade man who couldn’t cross a big swamp, made a raft of the birch bark for it. Then he founded a town on the place and named it Berestye in honor of the birch bark that helped him.
The opposite part of the high relief is devoted to the battle of Grunwald that happened in 1410. Here the prince Vitovt and the King of Poland Yagaylo developed the plan of the fight. The monument has a fragment of it. There is also a flag of Berestye set up after the victory and angel’s blessing given to soldiers. The high relief also tells about the building of Brest, the publishing of Brest Bible, the protection of Brest fortress and of course, mastering of the space.
All plots are reflected in the monument not by chance. The braveness of the soldiers who protected Brest fortress is famous all over the world. The first Belarusian who left the earth was Petr Klimuk, an inhabitant of Komarovka village, Brest region, that’s why the monument contains space elements.
At the bottom of the monument, there are 12 chronological plates that look like clocks. They depict fateful events for Brest.
The festival in honor of the opening was saddened. Attentive inhabitants founded 75 wrong notes at the endorsement. The plates had to be taken off and the faults were to be corrected. In 2011, the memorial was surrounded by a fence that finished the composition.

A new risk score can identify men and women under age 50 most likely to develop a cancer of the colon or rectum, an international study shows.
The score, a number between 0 and 1, is made from a calculation of people's risk of developing cancers in either digestive tract organ based on 141 genetic variants (changes in the DNA code) more common in people with the disease. This so-called polygenic risk score is then added to a parallel risk calculation based on 16 lifestyle factors known to increase people's chances of bowel cancers, including smoking, age, and how much dietary fiber and red meat they consume.
Rates of colon and rectal cancers have been on the rise among younger adults in the United States, as well as many other nations. In the United States alone, rates have increased every year from 2011 to 2016 by 2 percent among people younger than 50.
Led by researchers at NYU Langone Health and its Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center, the new study showed that those with the highest, or top third, combined polygenetic and environmental risk scores were four times more likely to develop colorectal cancers than men and women who scored in the bottom third.
Our study results help address the rising rates of colorectal cancer among younger adults in the United States and other developed countries, and show that it is feasible to identify those most at risk of the disease."
Richard B. Hayes, DDS, MPH, PhD., study co-senior investigator
Published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute online January 13, the study involved a comparison of 3,486 adults under age 50 who developed bowel cancer between 1990 and 2010 with 3,890 similar young men and women without the disease. All were participants in research studies monitoring people for cancer in North America, Europe, Israel, and Australia.
Dr. Hayes, a professor in the Departments of Population Health and Environmental Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, cautions that his team's tool is not yet ready for clinical use. Before it can be widely adopted, he says further testing is needed in larger trials to refine the model, describe how it can best be used by physicians, and demonstrate that, when used, the scoring system can in fact prevent illness and death.
Dr. Hayes says it remains unclear why the number of colorectal cancers is increasing in younger adults. By contrast, case numbers among older adults have decreased considerably due to advances in screening and increased removal of suspect growths before they advance to cancer.
Still, he notes, colorectal cancer kills more than 53,000 people every year in the United States. And it is for this reason that the American Cancer Society and federal guidelines now recommend the start of routine screening at age 45.
"Our ultimate goal is to have a predictive test for all people to gauge when they, based on their own genetic and personal health factors, need to start routine screening for colorectal cancer," says Dr. Hayes. Physicians, ideally, need a tool that can be used long before early warning signs appear, such as abdominal pain, low blood counts, and rectal bleeding.
The latest investigation analyzed data collected from 13 cancer studies in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Israel, and Australia.
Currently, more than 150,000 Americans are diagnosed annually with cancers of the colon and rectum.

Following their 1-1 draw on UEFA Champions League Matchday 2, Sevilla F.C. will face VfL Wolfsburg once more. The game is scheduled to begin at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Tuesday, November 23, at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, with referee Cüneyt Çakır (TUR) in charge for 90 minutes plus extra time. Meanwhile, the video assistant referee, Pol van Boekel (NED), will be at the monitors.
Preview Sevilla Champions League, Nov 23, 2021
Preview Sevilla will return for this UEFA Champions League fixture after the 2-2 draw against Deportivo Alaves at the weekend. Currently sitting in 3rd place in the LaLiga table, the club has one defeat in five games across all competitions: DWLWD. On UCL Matchday 4, Sevilla picked up a 2-1 defeat to Lille on home soil, leaving them with three points in Group G after 0W, 3D, & 1L. Julen Lopetegui will aim for nothing less than three points on Tuesday, knowing Sevilla will be unable to finish in the top two if they pick up a defeat. However, qualification for the UEFA Europa League may remain possible if other favorable outcomes emerge over the remaining fixtures. A familiar 4—2—3—1 formation with the Rafa Mir in attack is expected. Erik Lamela and Ocampos could form part of the attacking trio behind Mir on Tuesday. Suso is ruled out with a hamstring injury along with Youssef En-Nesyri (muscle injury) and Jesus Navas. If booked, Delaney and Diego Carlos will miss the next match.
Preview VfL Wolfsburg Champions League, Nov 23, 2021
Preview Wolfsburg picked up a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Arminia Bielefeld in the German Bundesliga over the weekend and remained without a win in their last two games across all competitions: WWWLD. Despite having a two-goal deficit inside the hour, Wolfsburg put up a spirited fight to salvage a point against Bielefeld, thanks to goals from Wout Weghorst (62’) and Lukas Nmecha (63’). Following the 2-1 win over Salzburg on UCL Matchday 4, the German outfit sits in third place with five points, on par in terms of points with second-placed Lille in Group G after 1W, 2D, & 1L. The club remains in a delicate balance, with a top-two finish looking likely and an exit from the qualifying spot also possible depending on the outcome of events on UCL MD5 and 6. A 3—4—2—1 formation with Wout Weghorst leading the attack ahead of the midfield duo is anticipated for Tuesday. On availability, left-back Paulo Otávio remains ruled out for this fixture, having suffered an ankle injury alongside Xaver Schlager. Bartosz Bialek will also be unavailable, along with William. If booked, Lacroix, Mbabu, Nmecha, and Weghorst will miss the next game.
