The purpose is to help with coping day! - Unknown and healing by hearing positive news to make you feel positive and happy. Hello all, I hope each and everyone of you are healthy, happy, safe and have found comfort. As we approach the 1-year marker since things took a very different change for all of us, I can’t help but think about how things really have changed; I mean wow!!! Look at what has become our new “normal”, I think zoom has opened so many doors for us, I still feel like we have found new and creative ways to connect and really show people how special they are to us. I also feel like life has a different vibe now, maybe a little more mellow, maybe a little more focused, maybe just a little bit more “old fashioned” in a way. Which if you know me I am old fashioned! I am curious; as to what is the one thing, one positive thing you will take from this pandemic? I like to be more optimistic than anything and my focus is on life, how I let myself get wrapped up in schedules and routines and forgot to live. I forgot that my little girl is just curious about things and that’s why she walks a little slower and takes her time, patience has become more important and life has become a little bit sweeter. Spring is upon us now and I am looking forward to the days outside more. I hope you find yourself outside more, soaking up the sun and gaining the positive benefits of nature, sunshine and the feeling of rebirth. Have a wonderful day, take care of you and continue to keep on keeping on. Who was St. Valentine? The day gets its name from a famous saint but there are several stories of who he was. The popular belief about saint Valentine.is that he was a priest from Rome in the 3rd century AD. Emperor Claudius the second had banned marriage because he thought married men were bad soldiers. Valentine felt this was unfair so he broke the rules and arranged marriages in secret. When Claudius found out Valentine was thrown in jail and sentenced to death. There he fell in love with the jailors daughter and when he was taken to be killed on February 14th he sent her a love letter signed “from your Valentine” the first Valentine’s day was in the year 496, having a particular Valentines day is a very old tradition thought to have originated from a Roman Festi- val. The Romans had a festival called Lupercalia in the middle of February usually the start of their spring time. It is thought that as a part of the celebrations., boys drew names of girls from a box, they would be boyfriend and girlfriend during the festival and sometimes they would get married.. Later on the church wanted to turn this festi- val into a Christian celebration; and decided to use it to remember Saint Valentine too. Gradually St. Valentine’s name started to be used by people to express their feelings to those they loved. Information: from NewsRound A Monumental Moment in home.

Most projects of similar research are applied and become known mainly due to their commercial implementation. Undoubtedly, in the modern realities, it is more and more difficult to conduct scientific research regardless of the urgent production problems. Thus, cooperation of commercial structures, research institutions, military departments, etc. is required for the successful implementation of most projects. Certainly, the results of such projects can be effectively used by all the organizations listed above. For example, almost any innovation in the surveillance and search, under-ice and other studies in one form or another can be used for strategic or tactical military purposes. Keywords: experimental autonomous, oceanographic research, autonomous underwater vehicles. 1. Introduction In the scientific surroundings, the statements that Oceanographic researches are, in many aspects, more complex and challenging, even compared to space research are not rare [1]. Now, in the middle of the second decade of the XXI century, there is no doubt that the study of the oceans has become an issue of global importance, covering economic, industrial, social, defense and many other activities and interests of the society in the modern world. We are seeing the necessity of expanding the boundaries of Oceanographic research, increasing the number of types and growth of quality of measurements in the water column as well as their systematization, increasing of the depths of research, which is caused by the growing necessity of sea bottom studies, etc.

    Postseason Recaps, Line Scores, Stats & Records World Champions 1955 World Champions For the Brooklyn Dodgers, the 1955 World Series was not just a chance to win a championship, but an opportunity to avenge five previous World Series failures at the hands of their chief rivals, the New York Yankees. Even with their ace Don Newcombe on the mound, the Dodgers seemed to be doomed from the start, as three Yankee home runs set back Newcombe and the rest of the team in their opening 6-5 loss. Game 2 had the same result, as New York's southpaw Tommy Byrne held Brooklyn to five hits in a 4-2 victory. With the Series heading back to Brooklyn, Johnny Podres was given the start for Game 3. The Dodger lefty stymied the Yankees' offense over the first seven innings by allowing one run on four hits en route to an 8-3 victory. Podres gave the Dodger faithful a hint as to what lay ahead in the series with his complete-game, six-strikeout performance. Game 4 at Ebbets Field turned out to be an all-out slugfest. After falling behind early, 3-1, the Dodgers used the long ball to knot up the series. Future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella and Duke Snider each homered and Gil Hodges collected three of the club’s 14 hits, including a home run in the 8-5 triumph. Snider's third and fourth home runs of the Series provided the support needed for rookie Roger Craig and the Dodgers took Game 5 by a score of 5-3.
