Il Buco del piombo è un'imponente grotta naturale situata nel comune di Erba, nelle Prealpi comasche a una quota di 695 m sul livello del mare.

Geologia
La grotta fa parte di un complesso carsico formatosi nella roccia calcarea di età Mesozoica vicino alla località detta Alpe del Viceré collocata all'interno della Riserva naturale Valle Bova.

Si apre su una bianca parete verticale con una imboccatura di dimensioni ciclopiche: 45 metri di altezza e 38 di larghezza. La galleria visitabile è lunga 300 metri, il resto della grotta, accessibile agli speleologi è lungo qualche km, costituendo un sistema carsico composto dalle grotte Buco del Piombo, Grotta Lino e Grotta Stretta esteso per circa 6.500 metri. All'interno sono presenti alcuni fenomeni concrezionati di stalattiti e stalagmiti.

Storia
La presenza umana è documentata fin dal periodo paleolitico dal ritrovamento di vari reperti litici, e il luogo fu abitato anche dall'uomo di Neanderthal. La grotta era sede di estrazione di pietra silicea per la produzione di utensili. I nostri antenati probabilmente non vi abitavano in maniera continuativa, per via del freddo, dell'umidità e della presenza di orsi delle caverne in letargo.

L'orso delle caverne (Ursus spelaeus) fu infatti il principale abitatore di questa caverna nell'ultimo periodo glaciale (fino a 15.000 anni fa circa), di questo animale sono stati rinvenuti numerosi resti ossei all'interno della grotta.

Le strutture murarie presenti all'interno del grande androne di accesso alla grotta sono state datate alla metà del VI secolo d.C., in base ai risultati delle analisi al radio-carbonio di alcuni frammenti lignei ritrovati all'interno di uno dei tanti fori pontai presenti nella roccia e documentano una continua presenza umana in epoca tardo romana e medioevale, fino al XVI secolo. Il luogo fu infatti usato come fortino difensivo nei periodi di guerra. Durante il periodo tardo-romano avrebbe fatto parte di un sistema fortificato di torri di segnalazione di cui facevano parte anche le fortificazioni di Lecco, di Castelmarte, del Baradello, del Colle di San Maffeo e di Castelseprio.

Dopo essere stato utilizzato e potenziato ai tempi di Federico Barbarossa, il fortino del Buco del piombo fu impiegato per finalità strategico-militari anche dal Medeghino, committente di una ristrutturazione.

In epoca più moderna la grotta è divenuta oggetto di visita da parte di studiosi e turisti. Tra questi ultimi è da ricordare la regina Margherita di Savoia.

L'accesso, che sorge su proprietà privata, è rimasto poi chiuso per molti anni fino al 1998 quando un accordo con il comune di Erba ne ha consentito la riapertura, revocato però nel 2011.

Visite
Il sito non è più visitabile dal 2011 a seguito di crolli verificatisi all'interno della grotta.

È però ancora possibile arrivare fino all'accesso della grotta partendo dal comune di Albavilla e seguendo la segnaletica fino all'ex trattoria Zoccolo dove si trova un parcheggio. Da qui si prosegue a piedi per circa mezz'ora su un percorso sterrato; al termine una ripida scalinata, ora chiusa, porta all'accesso alla grotta.

Nell'androne all'imboccatura della grotta era situato un museo speleologico.

Flora e fauna

Nell'ambiente buio, umido e freddo vivono diverse specie di insetti, crostacei, platelminti e pipistrelli. In passato, durante l'era glaciale, la caverna era frequentata dall'orso delle caverne, di cui sono stati rinvenuti molti resti ossei, tra cui alcuni scheletri completi.

A causa della progressiva oscurità, la vegetazione si riduce proseguendo verso l'interno della grotta. Nell'androne di ingresso è presente il tasso e la spaccapietre Ceterach officinarum. La prima decina di metri della grotta, ancora raggiunta dalla luce solare, ospita vari tipi di felci, queste infatti sono piante che prediligono i luoghi umidi come le grotte.

Rappresentazioni artistiche
Il buco del piombo è stato rappresentato in diversi dipinti e incisioni, più famosa delle quali nel libro "Viaggio pittorico nei monti di Brianza" dei coniugi Lose.

About 200,000 people die each year in India from diseases related to unclean water. Insufficient water also leads to food insecurity.
From the northern Himalayas to the sandy, palm-fringed beaches in the south, 600 million people – nearly half India's population – face acute water shortage, with close to 200,000 dying each year from polluted water.
Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485 000 diarrhoeal deaths each year.
Dirty water diseases
Bacteria in dirty water include: Salmonella typhi bacteria causes typhoid. Monica is well familiar with the symptoms of this serious disease: fever, abdominal pain, constipation, and headaches. Aeromonas Hydrophila bacteria causes severe dysentery in children and people with weak immune systems.

Information sharing to the cyber-rescue, again!
By Richard Forno on February 11, 2015 at 8:10 am
Yesterday, news emerged (or was officially leaked) that the President will announce an initiative designed to bolster American Internet security: the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center. Based on the post-9/11 designed National Counterterrorism Center (CTC), this new organization purportedly will serve as an 'intelligence fusion center' within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and work with the private sector in developing and sharing information and analysis related Internet security threats, vulnerabilities, trends, and situational awareness. Read more about Information sharing to the cyber-rescue, again!


The North Fork bioenergy plant has just cleared another hurdle toward getting the project up and running. They have now been offered a power purchase agreement from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E).
North Fork Community Power, LLC, is a joint venture between Phoenix Energy and the North Fork Community Development Council that will own and operate a biomass gasification facility in North Fork.
Deep in California, in the Sierra National Forest, there are more dead trees than live ones. And figuring out what do with them is a towering task.
Forest Supervisor Dean Gould sees the evidence every day of the state's massive tree die-off, a crisis that's claimed more than 102-million trees over eight million acres in the past seven years.
"It's unprecedented. A whole variety of conditions had to happen simultaneously and they did," Gould said.
Napa, California, city council and the city's waste hauler, Napa Recycling and Waste Services, have proposed two biomass facilities that diverts wood waste from landfill, a report from the Napa Valley Register says. The pair of plants will use gasification to generate power from the wood waste.
The biomass plant would be located at the Napa Materials Diversion Facility and city officials say it will create 2 megawatts of electricity that Napa Waste and Recycling can sell to the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E).

you can check the drive model in system profiler, then look up its stats at the manufacturer's web site.
This is the model that came in my 2003 vintage G4 PowerMac. Depending on the model yours shows, you can check that on the web. For instance, the DVR-105 is a 4X DVD-R (no +R). I've since added a DVR-108 (non-Apple branded of course since they don't sell aftermarket drives) which is an 8X DVD+/-R.

Ukraine Deploys Freddy Fazbear On Invading Russian Forces
Lord Waffle King
Tensions between Ukraine and Russia have escalated into a full-scale invasion, and Ukraine is not backing down without a fight. The world may very well be on the brink of total war that could change our lives as we know them.
This is extremely serious, and tragic. Really, it's no laughing matter. The loss of life will be great, and innocent people will die for the sake of the rich and powerful. This is not something to joke about, it really isn't. Our lives are just pieces in their little game of chess. But what else can we do? The world must go on. Some people need a laugh right now. Some people will never understand the weight of what goes on in the world until it's at their doorstep, but some people just need something to keep them going through the day, so they can carry out their essential role of eating pizza rolls and jacking off to cartoons or whatever it is you do. What do you do? Do you do anything?
Regardless, this is why Ukraine has decided the stakes are too high, and that drastic measures are necessary. Me, I told them they were insane and that the risks were too great. But they told me there was no other choice. Freddy Fazbear has been deployed. And he's fucking shit up.
GO GO FUCK THEM UP GO GO GO
Fazbear is reported to have plowed through Russia's forces, overturned four tanks, and somehow taken out two choppers and a fighter jet. Ukrainian forces have rallied behind Fazbear, although no one wants to get too close just in case. There's concerns as to how they'll secure and bring him in once he's done, but the hope is that the two forces will neutralize each other. I think Freddy Fazbear is about equal to all of Russia's combined military might, that sounds about right doesn't it?
Some fear that Russia may have something up their sleeve as well, and Putin has made vague threats that he might in fact be in possession of Sans Undertale. Such weapons of mass destruction could cause unspeakable horror across the planet. Our hopes and prayers go out to all the people of Ukraine.
They are not your friends. Russians, Ukrainians, Americans. NATO, the UN, the Kremlin, the White House. Those are labels for us, but not for them. It's the rich versus the poor, and they always seem to win. We always seem to lose. The ouroboros bites its tail. We die, they live.
Never forget that they don't care about you.

September 18 in Cardinals History
A Cup of Coffee
It was on this date in 1962 that Harvey Branch played his one and only game for the Cardinals. He is the starting pitcher facing the Chicago Cubs and goes five innings, allowed 5 hits, 3 earned runs (Ron Santo homered in the 2nd), 5 walks and 2 strikeouts. He is the losing pitcher of record. The Cardinals were down 4-1 going into the 9th inning as scored two runs and Javier singled and with one out Musial hit his 16th home run of the season but that wasn't enough. BOXSCORE
Trades and Transactions
The Boston Braves selected Hal Haid off waivers from the Cardinals in 1930
In 1968, after being no-hit yesterday by Giants' hurler Gaylord Perry, the Cardinal hurler Ray Washburn returns the favor by no-hitting San Francisco, 2-0, making it the first time in major league history the feat had been accomplished in successive games.
The Cleveland Indians in 1972 selected Lowell Palmer off waivers from the Cardinals.
Yadier Molina in 2013, strokes his 41st double of the season in the Cardinals' 4-3 victory over Colorado, breaking the mark for two-baggers by a catcher. The St. Louis backstop, who will finish the year with 44 doubles, surpasses the record established in 1978 by Ted Simmons, who also played for the Redbirds.

Joe Maddon, Cubs make second visit to White House

WASHINGTON -- For the second time in six months, the Chicago Cubs visited the White House to meet the President.
The team met President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, toured the Oval Office and took pictures in the historic building before heading to Nationals Park for the third game in their series against the Nationals.
After winning the World Series, the Cubs' visit to the White House was bumped up so it could occur while former President Obama, an avid Cubs fan, was still in office. This visit was less formal and quicker than their previous visit.
MORE ON THE CUBS:
Cubs: It's 'right to move on' without Miguel Montero, but Jake Arrieta still 'loves Miggy'
Cubs (and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert) attend White House ceremony
"It was cool," Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. "I think we all had a good time there. To go to the White House is very special … to be able to go twice in one year is something I'll carry with me for the rest of my life."
The trip was not mandatory, and manager Joe Maddon said before the visit that he did not care what his players did.
"I like the United States a lot, I like living here a lot, I like everything about being here a lot," he said. "When you get a chance as a citizen to go to the White House you go. Whether you like the person who is running the country or not, out of respect for the office itself you go. I don't agree with all of the things that are going on right now because I have a different perspective."
During the visit, Trump joked that they are not doing as well as they were last season.
"He kind of ribbed us a little bit for being only one game over .500 and stuff like that," pitcher Brian Duensing said. "It was very interesting."
There was also some controversy surrounding a photo with the President, where outfielder Albert Almora appears to give the president the finger, something he denies was done on purpose.
"Obviously it's unfortunate," Almora said. "I'm getting ready to take a picture and my hand is in the post there. You guys know I would never do that to the president of the United States. I respect everybody. It is what it is, we laugh about it now but there are definitely two fingers up there, there's not one."
This visit to Washington also served as another celebration of their World Series Championship, as their trophy was on display at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. Tom Ricketts, the owner of the Cubs, also made the trip to the White House.
"It's not everyday you get to meet the President of the United States, and to meet two in one year for me is pretty special," Almora said.
Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was also at the White House and took a photo with Trump and The Commissioner's Trophy. The Cubs have one more game against the Nationals tomorrow before heading to Cincinnati to face the Reds.

In this unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history, James Bradley has captured the glory, the triumph, the heartbreak, and the legacy of the six men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima Here is the true story behind the immortal photograph that has come to symbolize the courage and indomitable will of America In February 1945, AmeriIn this unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history, James Bradley has captured the glory, the triumph, the heartbreak, and the legacy of the six men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima Here is the true story behind the immortal photograph that has come to symbolize the courage and indomitable will of America In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima and into history Through a hail of machine gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the island s highest peak And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag Now the son of one of the flagraisers has written a powerful account of six very different young men who came together in a moment that will live forever To his family, John Bradley never spoke of the photograph or the war But after his death at age seventy, his family discovered closed boxes of letters and photos In Flags of Our Fathers, James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his father and the men of Easy Company Following these men s paths to Iwo Jima, James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific s most crucial island an island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22,000 fanatic defenders who would fight to the last man But perhaps the most interesting part of the story is what happened after the victory The men in the photo three were killed during the battle were proclaimed heroes and flown home, to become reluctant symbols For two of them, the adulation was shattering Only James Bradley s father truly survived, displaying no copy of the famous photograph in his home, telling his son only The real heroes of Iwo Jima were the guys who didn t come back Few books ever have captured the complexity and furor of war and its aftermath as well as Flags of Our Fathers A penetrating, epic look at a generation at war, this is history told with keen insight, enormous honesty, and the passion of a son paying homage to his father It is the story of the difference between truth and myth, the meaning of being a hero, and the essence of the human experience of war.

Susanchitter says:
There is a reason they are called the "Greatest Generation" 26,000 Americans killed in a month to secure Iwo Jima. Tells the story of the battle and the stories of the 5 men who raised the flag in the iconic picture. Should be required reading for school kids.
Linda Dexheimer says:
Linda DexheimerInformationalThis book was adapted from it's original version for young adults. The book is written about the flag raising at Iwo Jima and the 6 men that raised the flag. The author, James Bradley, is the son of one of the men. He researched the lives of the 6 men and describes the events leading up to the raising of the flag and the days after. Interesting read and perspectives. It seemed well-researched and is told in a narrative that's easy to read.
Claire Wood says:
In the book, "Flags of Our Fathers", by James Bradley, you follow the lives of six men - Ira Hayes, Rene Gagnon, John (Doc) Bradley, Mike Strank, Harlon Block, and Franklin Sousley. They are the men that raised the flag on Iwo Jima in the middle of World War II. Creating a very memorable moment in American military history, these men faced many challenges in their lives. The book tells each person's story, leading up to them fighting for the Marines. Many details are included, describing the joy [...]

I bought this book and kept it in my book shelves for about 6 years and i thought i will never read it. But don't know how i started to read this book, the writing kept me going till i finish the bookReally a good, inspiring nonfictional book about the Soldiers of the Flagraising and their post war traumas.
Ayana98 says:
Flags of our Fathers by James Bradley is an action filled book that follows the characters who raised the famous flag on Iwo jIma. Now a major motion picture from Academy Award Winning Director Clint Eastwood, this historical non-fiction book tells the story of the characters and how they coped with the war. The book gives a very good perspective on the Pacific Theatre and the consequences of going to the Pacific. James shows how war is longer than you think it is. We follow the main story of Jo [...]
This book tells the heartbreaking story of John "Doc" Bradley, a Marine serving in the US army during World War II, in the pacific theater. Him and his friends, Mike, Harlon, Ira, Rene and Franklin, are sent to a mysterious location known only as "Island X", on a pivotal mission that determined the fate of World War II. On Island X, a photo is taken. A photo that inspired people across the states. A photo that symbolized patriotism, victory. But not everybody saw the photo in the same wa [...]
The week I was reading this aloud, I watched this slide show of photographers' submissions to Best of PPA (Professional Photographers of America) youtube/watch?v=5DQG3D [*WARNING* There is one nude image and one partially] This slide show has a picture that recreated the famous Iwo Jima flag raising with basketball players raising a basketball hoop. It made me ill. I was glad I wasn't at that conference, our I would have been pacing in front of the picture wishing I had the guts to tell the phot [...]
Elizabeth Gardner Johnson says:
Joe Rosenthal snapped a pulitzer-prize winning picture atop Mount Suribachi during the battle of Iwo Jima. Of the six men in the famous photograph, three would eventually survive the war. James Bradley, the son of John "Doc" Bradley who was in the photo, knew very little about his dad's WWII experiences until his father passed away in 1994. His father, like many war vets, did not want to talk about the horrors of war, the deaths he witnessed, and friends who went missing. James began a search af [...]
I won't lie if this had not been the version adapted for youth, I am not sure that I would have even attempted to read it. Historical non-fiction and anything with war, it just doesn't catch my attention very often and I tend to gravitate away from it. It often makes me feel stupid and uneducated and then I get mad at myself for not being able to suck it up and finish it. (I hate dates!)This book spared me from that. In fact, I am of the mind that the original version may hold more facts and I a [...]
I read this book for two reasons: one was that I was hurting for a nonfiction novel; the other is that I feel like I have lost a part of me that I used to consider to be patriotism. After studying the war poems in British Literature 333, I felt like I didn't know what I thought about war, duty to country, and patriotism. After reading this book, I still don't have all the answers, but I'm glad I read it. Flags of Our Fathers tells the story of the famous flag raising at Iwo Jima. James Bradley w [...]
Jamie Siemsen says:
I read this for a history project. It wasn't somthing I'd noramlly read, but I really enjoyed learning about one of the most famous photographs of all time. It felt good to learn about the history of America. My grandma was super duper excited when I asked to borrow this book from her, it was pretty comical.
Greg Haas says:
The true story of the 'real' Iwo Jima Flag Raisers before the staged second flag raising the world is more familiar withand the absolutely incredible luck of it's photographer. Interesting on how these boys were later used for US War Bond tours. But I bought this youth version by mistake. Better to get the full version, as war is NOT pretty and imho it should not be filtered.
Really great book on how unlikely heroes became celebrities overnight from the "second" photo taken. How coming back from war to instant popularity was too much to handle. Great book, and of course better than the movie.
I LOVED THIS BOOK! I read it in one night (another book I had to read to write a review paper on for my teaching license). So emotional and informative! I cried so many times reading this! I love books that move me like that.
Atrebs says:
Great story of the men behind the monument a lot of new information for me and the description of the fight on Iwo Jima is vivid; now I'll watch Eastwood's movie and the one told from Japan's side.
Excellent book. Well written and an interesting story.
So much better than the movie a well told historical story.
Interesting to learn about a battle that isn't taught much in school. very vivid and descriptive. If you enjoy history, you will like it. Slow start but gets really interesting!
I had no ideaI will leave it at that before I spoil it for someone.
This is told by the son of one of the men who raised the flag on Iwo Jima. Didn't see the movie, but I can't imagine it was better than this book. VERY gory but so was Iwo Jima.
Liz Davis says:
Loved this book!! Beautiful tribute to his father and marine troops who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Eye opening to the events in the Pacific theater. However through the eyes of six special men that said they weren't that special.
Michael Guilmette says:
A truly amazing book about some boys who were in one of the most dangerous, vital raids in World War II.
Wow, just wow. A fascinating and touching read about the battle of Iwo Jima and those involved in the famous flag-raising photo.
I think this is something everyone should read. It was an interesting book, with some facts that I was unaware of!
It was a good book looking at this iconic picture through the eyes of the kids and relatives of the living people within it.

Alexander's Feast
REF.: FB 1615566
Alexander's Feast data de 1736, un tiempo en el que George Frideric Handel procuraba compensar la falta de interés del público londinense por sus óperas italianas con la presencia de oratorios en inglés. Esta partitura tiene el honor de ser una de sus tres obras sacras más interpretadas, apenas superada por The Messiah.

George Frideric Handel (1685-1759):
Alexander's Feast or The Power of Musick. An ode wrote in honour of St. Cecilia
2 CD - DDD -
Alexander's Feast or The Power of Musick. An ode wrote in honour of St. Cecilia by Mr Dryden. Set to musick by Mr Handel.
– as the first edition is entitled – dates from 1736, a time when Handel was attempting to counter the dwindling interest in his Italian operas with oratorios in English. Indeed this work, which resembles an oratorio, found immediate popularity and was quickly counted alongside «Messiah» among his best-loved compositions. Only «Acis and Galatea» and «Messiah» were performed more frequently than «Alexander's Feast» during the composer's lifetime.
The work is based on an ode by John Dryden, adapted by Newburgh Hamilton (and probably also to some extent by Handel himself) as a sequence of recitatives, arias and choruses in oratorio form. The material is taken from an episode by the Greek historian Plutarch: During a banquet held by Alexander the Great to celebrate his victory over the Persians, the courtesan Thaïs incites him in a fiery speech to avenge the destruction of her Greek homeland by the Persians with a conflagration of the city of Persepolis. Dryden alters the incident insofar as Alexander is seduced not by the sensuality and rhetoric of the courtesan but rather by the musical skill of the bard Timotheus who, according to Dryden's poem, already knew how to overcome the victorious commander with the power of music. After a majestic overture and a chorus of jubilation, Handel's setting continues with Timotheus flattering Alexander's pride with a description of his godly provenance before elevating the general celebratory mood further with a song of praise to the god of wine, Bacchus. But Timotheus is also capable of arousing the Macedonian king's respectful pity for the defeated Persian king abandoned on the battlefield, in order to contrast it even more forcefully with the power of his love for Thaïs, a more permanent source of true happiness. Alexander, however, falls asleep exhausted in the arms of the courtesan Thaïs during the course of the banquet.
Timotheus rescues this embarrassing situation, and thus the celebrations, in the second part of the work. Rather than releasing the host from his warlike duties, he drags him out of sleep with an increasingly forceful vision of revenge for the Greek soldiers slain in battle. Alexander is again ready to fight and together with Thaïs heads the column which is to set Persepolis aflame. Dryden does not mention that the historical Alexander immediately ordered the flames to be extinguished, choosing instead to emphasise that the behaviour and actions Timotheus triggers are but one aspect of the power of music. Only with the appearance of the divine Cecilia does its whole force, completed by the spiritual aspect, become apparent and indeed audible: «He raised a mortal to the skies, she drew an Angel down.»
The first performance of Alexander's Feast took place on 19th February 1736 in London at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden and was an immediate success. Handel had completed work on the composition one month previously, adding the words «Fine, 17 January 1736». The «Ode in honour of St. Cecilia» was often revived up until 1755, appearing together with a wide variety of other works such as organ concertos, concerti grossi, cantatas and even (in 1751) with «The Choice of Hercules» HWV 69 as a third part of a concert. It is worth mentioning that the piece was only once performed on the day for which it was originally intended, St. Cecilia's Day, on 22nd November 1739. Handel clearly took great pains in setting Dryden's text. Only four movements have their origins in other Handel works, such as «Orlando» or «Lotario». True to form, he invested even this short scene from the life of Alexander the Great with his unmistakable talent for expressing characterisation of mood and affect in telling music. Perhaps the most striking example is the accompagnato scene «Thus, long ago»; to the accompaniment of sighing, complaining recorders in thirds, the narrative turns away from the furious Alexander, Timotheus and the warriors and from the pillage of Persepolis towards St. Cecilia.
It is hardly surprising that the following notice appeared in the London Daily Post on 20th February 1739, the day after the first performance: «Last Night his Royal Highness the Duke, and her Royal Highness the Princess Amelia were at the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden, to hear Mr. Dryden's Ode, set to Musick by Mr. Handel. Never was upon the like Occasion so numerous and splendid an Audience at any Theatre in London, there being at least 1300 Persons present; and it is judg'd that the Receipt of the House could not amount less than 450 £. It met with general Applause, tho attended with the Inconvenience of having the Performers placed at too great a distance from the Audience, which we hear wil be rectified the next Time of Performance.»

The main Problem is, that the id's for the divs changes on every reload randomized. so casperjs like ==>
this.sendKeys('#id1a0 ',"Test String");

doesn't work.

A: Since the id always changes, you should use an alternate selector to target this element. You can use classes, tag names or combinations thereof.
What about this:
.wishname.feedback-panel-trigger.multiReplaceCharsInWishnamelField

or this:
.item.wishname > .input > input

If you have multiple items with the same classes you can try to iterate to get the right one.

Kyiv Metro does not operate due to power limitations after missile attacks – chief engineer
Kyiv Metro does not operate as a transport facility due to the lack of the necessary capacity for the movement of trains after missile attacks by the enemy on Friday, chief engineer of Kyiv Metro Viktor Vyhovsky said.
"The metro operates both as a transport facility and as an object of shelter… At present, unfortunately, due to missile attacks, we have a situation of limitation and lack of electricity in part of the supply centers of the electricity distribution company," he said on the air of the national telethon on Friday, answering a question about why the metro does not work as a transport after the end of the air raid warnings.
The chief engineer said: "Accordingly, now there is a limitation in the capacity we need to ensure the operation of (the metro) as a transport infrastructure, and as a shelter object. In such a situation, we were forced to switch to the operation of the metro as a shelter object."
Thus, as Vyhovsky said, there is no movement of metro trains in the capital now. "We placed trains at metro stations so that, if necessary, people who go down to the shelter could be accommodated both at the station and on the trains… As for the movement of trains, unfortunately, it is impossible to resume it [after the end of the air raid alarms] due to the fact that significant power is needed for the movement of trains," he said.
The chief engineer of Kyiv metro did not predict when the "subway" will resume its work on the transport of passengers.
Vyhovsky also said that as an object of shelter, the subway is fully operational and has everything you need. "We fully ensure the operation of all engineering systems," he said, stressing that there is a mobile connection in the "underground."

The Difference Between Character Habits And Quirks
What exactly is the difference between behaviors, habits, mannerisms, and quirks? Read on to learn the subtle (yet important) differences between them and how to apply them to your characters.
Paula Wynne
The dictionary definitions overlap and vary which makes it unclear and difficult to understand, especially for new writers just testing their character creation toes in the water. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a habit as "a settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up / an automatic reaction to a specific situation," and a quirk as "a peculiar behavioral habit."
(11 Secrets to Writing an Effective Character Description.)
The Cambridge Dictionary defines a habit as 'something you do often and regularly, sometimes without knowing that you are doing it' and a quirk as 'an unusual trait or behavior, or something that is strange and unexpected.'
If you love to write and have a story you want to tell, the only thing that can stand between you and the success you're seeking isn't craft, or a good agent, or enough Facebook friends and Twitter followers, but fear. Fear that you aren't good enough, or fear the market is too crowded, or fear no one wants to hear from you. Fortunately, you can't write while being in the flow and be afraid simultaneously. The question is whether you will write fearlessly.
The Difference Between Character Habits, Behaviors, and More
But what exactly is the difference between Behaviors, Habits, Mannerisms, and Quirks? In my investigation into character quirks, I found there are subtle differences between them. Let's first look at the dictionary meaning for each:
Behavior: Manner of acting or controlling yourself, (behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people
Foible: a behavioral attribute that is distinctive and peculiar to an individual
Habit: an automatic pattern of behavior in reaction to a specific situation; may be inherited or acquired through frequent repetition: 'she had a habit of twirling the ends of her hair'
Idiosyncrasy: A behavior or way of thinking that is characteristic of a person, a slight glitch, mannerism; something unusual about the manner or style of something or someone
Mannerism: A behavioral attribute that is distinctive and peculiar to an individual
Quirk: an individual peculiarity of character; mannerism or foible
Habits are matters of daily routine, things your character has done so often that they've become automatic and would be extremely hard to change. Habits may be unique to your character or may be common in your character's community.
Looking both ways before crossing the street is a habit, though it's so useful and universal that it's likely to be unnoticeable (unless your character moves to the US from the UK and his neighbors notice that he looks right-left-right while they look left-right-left).
(Understanding the Minor Character's Role.)
Checking that all the doors are locked before going to sleep may be a deliberate precaution in a dangerous place and time. However, in a safe place and time it's likely to be a habit peculiar to your character, showing either that she once lived in a dangerous place or that she suffers from obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
Finishing other people's sentences is a not uncommon habit, but it may be highly noticeable and frustrating to people who aren't accustomed to it.

Click to continue.
Quirks are usually idiosyncratic (peculiar to the individual). And, they're likely to seem odd to the people who interact with your character.
Maybe your character cultivates quirks for effect. Maybe they've become habitual, or they're deeply rooted in his nature, and he can't readily change them.
Those who interact with your character probably won't be sure which sort of quirk they're dealing with. Repeating the last few words of the other person's sentence in a conversation may suggest involuntary mechanical and meaningless repetition of the words of another person, suspicion, or a strategy for getting time to craft a response.
Capping remarks with famous quotations may be a sign of an eager reader with a quickly-connecting mind, or of an ambitious person trying to demonstrate their knowledge.
Walking everywhere instead of driving or taking the Underground, even in bad weather, may suggest a lack of money, or concern for the environment, or an extreme dedication to fitness, or simply a habit leftover from a time when one of these forces was in effect.
You may find it easier to remember the difference between habits and quirks this way:
Quirks are actions or behavioral personality traits that are deliberate. In contrast, habits are actions or traits that are automatic.
(5 Writing Tips to Creating a Page Turner)
Bringing Characters to Life with Quirks and Habits
One of the hardest and most satisfying parts of writing is making your characters fully alive so your readers can recognize them, visualize them, believe in them, and care about them.
Of course, this requires careful use of story events, flashbacks, memories, and dialogue. It's also helpful to flesh characters out with distinctive quirks and habits.
Quirks and habits serve several purposes in fiction. Here are a few major uses:
Identifying Characters
Defining Character
Revealing Tension
Habits and Quirk Shifts
Adding Idiosyncratic Meat to Quirky Bones
When you create a new character or want to inject a little more life into an existing character, try adding habits and quirks. That can be anything from biting nails to picking toes to switching lights on and off.
My book, the A~Z Writers' Character Quirks: A~ Z of Behaviors, Foibles, Habits, Mannerisms & Quirks for Writers to Create Fictional Characters, will help you to explore an alphabetical list of behavior, foibles, habits, mannerisms, and quirks for creating fictional characters.
Another way to find character habits and quirks is to watch people. Anywhere. Anytime. Riding the bus, on the train, in a café bar or airport. Go to a public place armed with a large newspaper and notepad and start watching what people do. Write their little quirks down and start making a quirky folder for using in your next writing project.
Good luck, enjoy creating weird and wonderful fictional people!

A Visit to My Back Porch: Adam Gardner from Guster
Published on May 26, 2011 in By Maria, Love & Family, Music
I can't quite remember how I first learned about Guster. But I think it must be because of their song "Amsterdam," which is one of my all-time favorite songs. As a writer, how can I not love the line "I'm gonna write you a letter, I'm gonna write you a book, I wanna see your reaction, I wanna see how it looks…"? I vividly remember driving through Times Square in Manhattan with that song playing super clearly on my satellite radio, and thinking that this was a magical moment. Of course, seeing them in concert is also magical and fun. My top fave Guster songs are Amsterdam, of course, but also Satellite, Homecoming King, That's No Way to Get to Heaven, and On The Ocean.
Adam wears two hats: Guster frontman, and codirector of Reverb, a nonprofit environmental organization dedicated to educating and engaging musicians and their fans to take action toward a more sustainable future. Gardner cofounded Reverb with his environmentalist wife, Lauren Sullivan, in 2004. Since then Reverb has greened over 100 major music tours, and over 1,800 concert events; kept more than 99,000 tons of CO2 from the air; fueled touring fleets with more than 500,000 gallons of biodiesel; partnered with more than 2,500 environmental groups; and reached more than 14 million music fans.
The artists that have partnered with Reverb to help them go green and activate their fans include Dave Matthews Band, Sheryl Crow, Coldplay, Maroon 5, Jack Johnson, Phish, John Legend, John Mayer, and many, more. Reverb also works with the music industry to improve business practices including record labels, concert venues and radio stations.
While Adam is on tour with his own band playing to sold-out audiences from Radio City Music Hall in New York to the Warfield in San Francisco, he is busy working for Reverb in the back of his biodiesel-powered tour bus (thanks to his cellphone and wireless Internet connection).
What was your favorite comfort food growing up?
My mom's lasagna–I couldn't get enough of that stuff!
What is it now?
It's a three-way tie between gnocchi, polenta, and roasting a Japanese sweet potato and eating it right out of the skin—if you haven't tried it, you must!!
What's your must-have food when on the road?
On tour, bands ask for certain foods on their hospitality riders with venues, so that they basically have a stocked fridge when they arrive. Everyday I'm on the road I eat Stonyfield Farm yogurt, Sabra hummus, Mary's Gone Crackers, and GT's kambucha.
What's your viewpoint on organic food?
As an environmentalist, I of course am a huge fan. As the dad of two kids, I feed organic food to my family almost exclusively. As a food lover, I much prefer the taste of organic food!
Do you do anything in your life organically?
My family is about to move into a house that has a yard, and we all are super-excited to grow an organic garden and eat our own food (especially our 3-year-old daughter!). Until then, we will continue to cook our meals with organic ingredients and sing the praises of organic food through my band and our organization, Reverb.
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
I grew up listening to a lot of classic rock like The Who, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, The Band, The Beatles, The Stones, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Billie Joel, and CSN&Y. I also loved The Cars and Kiss.
Who is it now?
This is always tough to answer—no doubt every band and musician I've ever heard and seen has influenced how I make and perform music. As a band we admire the songwriting of bands like Wilco, and The Shins, and we like when we get compared to them.
If you could write a theme song for any revolution or movement, what would it be?
For me, it would be for the environmental movement. Of course, it's incredibly hard to do such a thing and not have it fall flat or come off as cheesy. I find it much easier to harness the power of the connection artists have with their fans to amplify environmental campaigns, and that's exactly what I do with my organization Reverb.
Where's your favorite place to play music?
Ah—there are so many for so many different reasons. My favorite small room is the Paradise in Boston. I loved playing Radio City in New York—my parents came and were swelling with pride! We are going to play Red Rocks this summer outside of Denver, which is a stage built into a natural amphitheater in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
As you travel and tour, what's one insight about humanity that you've gained from your adventures?
People are generally playful and positive. If you can set the tone at a show, it turns into a big happy party. People also want to engage in something meaningful. I've been floored by how many younger fans have participated in Reverb's programs and campaigns—it feels really good for everyone involved.

Image caption At the time, the group attributed the breakdown to "technical problems"
Lloyds Bank was the target of a cyber-attack nearly two weeks ago which stopped a substantial number of customers using their online accounts.
The breakdown in service from the group, including Halifax and Bank of Scotland, came after the websites were overwhelmed with millions of requests in a denial of service attack.
It is particularly worrying for banks that the disruption lasted three days.
Lloyds revealed little at the time, despite a flood of Twitter complaints.
But it has emerged that the National Cyber Security Centre is working with the bank on the attack.
The problems started on Wednesday morning, 11 January, and continued in fits and starts until the following Friday, with some customers still unable to log into their accounts over the weekend.
Despite speculation that a number of banks may have been targeted, it appears that the internet gang concentrated its fire on Lloyds.
In the past, denial of service attacks have been perpetrated by customers with a grudge or by blackmailers, but there is no indication from Lloyds that a ransom demand was received.
At the time, the bank was adamant that the "vast majority" of users were able to gain access to their accounts and move money around as normal.
It's likely that systems engineers blocked all internet traffic from overseas locations where the attacks seemed to be coming from, halting the disruption at least temporarily before the attackers switched their activity elsewhere.
In contrast to the hacking of Tesco Bank in November, in which £2.5m was taken, there is no indication that criminals got their hands on cash in Lloyds bank accounts.
However, the new National Cyber Security Centre, part of GCHQ and the UK's authority on cyber-security, is understood to be working with Lloyds on security after the attack.
It told BBC News: "The NCSC and Financial Authorities work with firms to provide guidance and support if needed... including offering help on managing incidents."
Lloyds Banking Group issued the following statement: "We experienced intermittent service issues with internet banking between Wednesday morning and Friday afternoon the week before last and are sorry for any inconvenience caused.


We benefit from interacting with others. "Social support and social interaction are one of the most important factors in predicting the physical health and well-being of everyone, ranging from childhood through older adults." Social interaction can happen both online and offline. In my experience, a healthy mix of online and offline interactions is ideal.
In an article discussing the importance of face-to-face communication in the "Digital Age," Devin Barricklow says, "There are some cases in which it makes more sense—and will ultimately be more beneficial to you—to talk to someone in person as opposed to via email, text, or online chatting." Not everything can be communicated over text, including your tone, facial expressions, and body language.
In addition to the benefits of communicating in-person versus online, there are benefits of participating in activities "in-person." Physical exercise, building stronger connections with others, and experiencing new things that aren't possible or available online are all benefits of getting active outside of a phone or computer screen.
Would You is a unique feature that allows After School users to ask their classmates if they would participate in an activity with them. From high-fives to watching a movie to volunteering, Would You has facilitated billions of in-person actions.
The feature asks questions about an in-person or online activity, and if two (or more) agree to participate in that activity together, those who said yes will all be notified.
After School is the largest online referrer to DoSomething.org, a nonprofit organization that has empowered over 6 million young people to participate in social change campaigns. Teaming up with DoSomething.org, After School has led over 100,000 teens to help others in their communities, from posting positive messages on sticky notes in their school to registering to vote to learning how to better take care of the environment.
After school also hosts in-person events, including the Social Media Safety in Schools event.

The Yammy Wooden Motorbike balance bike is made by Kidzmotion, who also offer the Jiggy Wooden Balance bike and the Oowee Pink Balance Bike.
This bike will really catch the eye with a blue and white colour scheme including the frame, tyres and handlebars. It comes with a birch plywood frame, a soft padded seat and a saddle that is adjustable to 3 different heights between 38cm and 42cm.
Check out our guide to balance bike seat heights here. Just watch out for the handlebars as you are not able to adjust the height of these!
An extra feature that we really love are the stickers which are available as a 2, 3, 4 or 5 so they can be personalised with your child's age.
This bike will probably be a bit too big for an average 2 year old with a 38cm saddle height, and it is also quite heavy. However, it will suit older children who are getting into racing perfectly and it is great value at £54.99.
It is also available with a stand for an extra £5 at £59.99.
Another bike to consider is the Molto Premium Motorbike.
Young riders will love this bike which has all terrain wheels and a bright red, motorcycle design.
The Molto Premium Motorbike has a saddle height of 32cm, so it would be suitable for 2 or 3 year olds (although make sure you check their inseam first). The sturdy build and wider wheels also make it much easier to initially balance and propel than a traditional balance bike.
This bike doesn't require any assembly so it is ready straight out of the box and is available for around £40.
Another option from Molto is the Molto "Cross Superman" Motorcycle. As the name suggests, this motorbike balance bike has a fantastic Superman design so it is ideal for children that love superheroes!


Or if you would like a trip to the mainland, by far the most popular excursions from Margarita Island are either Los Roques, Canaima and Angel Falls.
We can help you arrange all these activities with reliable people and companies that are established on the island.
If you have some free time be sure to explore some of the other little towns and beaches on the island that most tourists don't get the opportunity to see.
Take a taxi (or a bus) to Plaza Bolivar in La Asuncion. This quiet town is actually the capital of the state (Nueva Esparta) and is located in a valley making it very fertile and green. Plan to spend a couple of hours wandering through the museums around the plaza, where here is one of the most important religious buildings on the Island The Cathedral of Our Lady, built in 1.571. the Virgin of La Asunción is worshiped here, the Cathedral has been declared a historical city monument (widely believed to be the second oldest surviving colonial church in the country), walking amidst the colorfully painted houses. There is also a very nice Artisans shop on the corner of the plaza. Inside is a cafe where you can get some good food. Just outside of La Asunsion (just follow the signs from the plaza) you will find the beautiful Castillo de Santa Rosa. The fort is only about a 15 minute walk from the plaza but is uphill. An alternative to the walk is to get your taxi driver to make a stop on your way out of the city. Although the fort is not spectacular, some old cannons, ball and chains and the fabulous views make it worth a visit. Admission is free (although there is a place for donations, have 1000 Bs available) and a visit the Castillo de Santa Rosa will not take you more that 15 or 20 minutes.
Although tours are available to the park it is cheaper and incredibly easy to do this trip independently. Simply take a taxi (or a bus) to La Restinga and approach on of the many boat drivers who will take you on either a half hour or hour long tour of the mangroves. Plan on 2 and a half hours at the park. This will give you enough time to take the hour long boat ride (well worth the extra money!) and spend a bit of time on the beach. This tour consists of a half hour boat tour after which your boat driver will drop you off at a fine shell beach for as long as you choose (make sure to arrange the pick up time). Although this beach was interesting and worth the visit, more than an hour or two would certainly be too long – there are much better beaches on margarita for both swimming and suntanning. . The taxi ride from Porlamar takes about 45 minutes and costs vary. Buses run regularly from Porlamar and costs are very reasonable. You will find that the best time to visit the park is around 2 o'clock in the afternoon as the light is excellent for photographs. The park closes at 5 o'clock so be certain to leave yourself enough time.
Take a taxi to the Fortin de la Galera (free admission) just north of Juan Griego. This fort is perched high on a hill and is renowned for its beautiful view of the sunset. If you arrive around 6pm you should be just in time for a spectacular view of the panoramic sunset. Be sure to bring a camera!
Hire a taxi driver who will take you on a drive of the north eastern tip of the island near Manzanillo. Get him/her to stop frequently as there are some gorgeous look off points that provide spectacular photo taking opportunities.
This beach is less touristy than Playa El Agua and is a favorite of the locals. With its crystal waters and exciting waves.
A lovely way to laze away the day.
At Los Mangos guest house you will be staying close to the Guayamuri mountain, not the highest one, but well known as the witch mountain of the island, the walk is not easy to do, but you will gain a wonderful view to the caribic and the nicest beaches, truly a magical view. The rest will stay with your imagination for a long time.

Q: How to change button color in React MUI by creating a custom theme? I am using @mui/material with React + Typescript.
I want to change the warning color of the button by creating a custom theme but so far without success.
My _app.tsx
import {ThemeProvider as MaterialThemeProvider, StyledEngineProvider} from '@mui/material/styles';
import {createTheme} from '@mui/material';
import {green} from '@mui/material/colors';
import { AppProps } from 'next/app';
import Button from '@mui/material/Button';

const MyApp = function ({Component, pageProps}: AppProps) {
    const MaterialUiLight = createTheme({
        palette: {
            warning: {
                light: green[500],
                main: green[500],
            },
        },
    });

    return <StyledEngineProvider injectFirst>
        <MaterialThemeProvider theme={MaterialUiLight}>
            <Button
                variant="contained"
                color="warning"
            >
                Please Change Color
            </Button>
        </MaterialThemeProvider>
    </StyledEngineProvider>
}

Even though I have specified in the palette, warning to have green color I still see the default "orangish" color
So my question is: How can I change the color="warning" or "secondary" for the buttons or overall by using this createTheme function ? Seems like my colors are just ignored...

Thadius is an old adventuring dwarf, known to those in Winterhaven. His ventures have taken him across Theria, and he is one of the few people to have ventured far north and returned. That being said, it was a harrowing journey that he does not wish to repeat. Members of group 1 were directed to Thadius as they were gearing up to head north and try to find Drock's tomb. The old dwarf was found in his usual haunt, the local bar. It is there that Rodswell and Draconis meet Thadius to ask him advice on heading north. Thadius's advice of not going, expect to die, and leave those that fall behind did not necessarily please the two, but they took his warnings to heart and reported back to the group, leaving Thadius to his tab.
Thadius is an older dwarf, with grey starting to show in his beard. He is wise in general knowledge of the world, due to his travels. In some circles, he is well respected, but due to his disposition to randomly spew profanities, he is not looked up favorably by others. He has a very pessimistic view on the adventurer's chances at surviving the harsh north. Some, though, see it as more of a respect towards the powers of the north. Either way, he is very wary of the north and those that voluntarily delve into its depths. When he is in a town, Thadius tends to fluctuate between the bar and the inn.

The awesome 2019 VW Polo SUV Rear HD Picture digital photography below, is segment of 2019 VW Polo SUV editorial which is grouped within VW, VW Polo SUV and published at March 29, 2018.
Recently we are hearing a lot of reports about expanding Volkswagen's crossover range. The latest vehicle to be contributed to the lineup should be 2019 VW Polo SUV. Although Tiguan is their compact crossover, they have an empty area in the subcompact segment. We understand the hatchback version. It is a reliable, economical, and long lasting vehicle, and Polo SUV should carry the same attributes. Initially, the strategy was to release a new model in 2018, but due to debates with engines and emissions, VW decides to lengthen the debut.
As we currently said, 2019 VW Polo SUV will be subcompact crossover. That indicates it is not going to use the too big engine. Specialists are sure to best solution could be a 1.0-l petrol engine. With it, this vehicle can develop around 105 horse power and 90 lb-ft of torque. Polo hatchback is using a diesel drivetrain. So, it is not impossible to see Volkswagen offer SUV with this type of powertrain. Direct-shift transmission is a router for energy, and it will probably be 7-speed configuration. Lastly, Volkswagen Polo is going to use front-wheel drive by default. Optionally, buyers will have the ability to select an AWD model.
Here is important clue on VW, VW Polo SUV. We have the prime source for VW, VW Polo SUV. Check it out for yourself! You can find 2019 VW Polo SUV Rear HD Picture guide and look the latest 2019 VW Polo SUV.

It's the game we've all been waiting for, as Barcelona vs Real Madrid kicks off this Saturday afternoon at the Camp Nou and the two teams are about to engage into their first battle of the season.
First of all, Barcelona will come into this game knowing they still have a comfortable 3-point advantage over their arch-rivals Real Madrid in La Liga, which basically transfers part of the pressure to the Spanish capital club. Tato Martino's men are still looking to find their best form this season, which is perfectly natural to happen at such an early stage of the competition. However, it's not like the Blaugrana have been flopping on the field and dropping unnecessary points one after another. Barça has actually won most of their games so far, holding an almost perfect record in La Liga with 9 games, 8 wins and 1 draw, while in the UEFA Champions League they have 2 wins and 1 draw out of 3 matches. Their last game was a 1-1 tie against AC Milan in San Siro and that may end up weighing a bit in the players' minds as we go into a highly challenging "Clasico".
At the other side there's Real Madrid. Just like Barcelona, the current Spanish vice-champions switched managers during the summer, as Carlo Ancelotti came in to replace the now Chelsea boss José Mourinho. The Italian has brought his own ideas to implement in the team, but with a highly demanding fan base at the Bernabéu, he might not be able to count with the time and patience he certainly needs in order to organize his team as he would want. Results will always come first and that's exactly what Italian managers are known for. The Merengues will march into the Camp Nou battle after having defeated the Italian giants Juventus at the Santiago Bernabéu, but just like Barcelona, they have also been raising some concerns about the quality of their game despite a recent 4-game winning streak. Real Madrid is now 3rd in La Liga, 2 points behind Atletico Madrid who comes in 2nd and 3 points behind the leaders Barcelona.
This first Clasico of 2013-2014 will also mark the "big games" debut for Neymar Jr. and Gareth Bale, Barça's and Real Madrid's biggest signings for this season. The Brazilian does seem to have settled in to his team a lot faster than the former Tottenham winger, a reality which is easily understood when we note that Bale didn't have the opportunity to go through a normal pre-season training regime and has already picked an injury during his short stay at Madrid. This Saturday, both players will be eager to upstage everyone else and make their first true statement for their new clubs.
As for Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the two superstars come into this game holding on their shoulders their teams' biggest hopes to set the difference, but it's also quite obvious that Ronaldo has been in a better form than Messi over the past weeks. The Argentinian has been struggling with a muscular injury, which seems to have slowed him down quite a bit. In the other hand, CR7 has been absolutely on fire and has scored 6 goals on his last 4 games.
Where to watch Barcelona vs Real Madrid live stream? Check out Ronaldo7.net!
– Lionel Messi has recovered from his thigh injury and is expected to start the game in Barça's line-up.
– Gerard Piqué was in doubt for the Clasico, but seems to have recovered from his physical problems and was called for the game by Tato Martino.
– Jordi Alba, Dos Santos and Afellay will sit out in the Clasico due to injuries.
– Cuenca and Oier were dismissed from the squad being called against Real Madrid, due to a pure technical decision by the Barcelona manager.
– Xabi Alonso remains injured and recovering from his physical problems and he's the only Real Madrid player sidelined for the Clasico due to injury.
– Gareth Bale is fit for the Clasico against Barcelona and will be at Carlo Ancelotti's disposal if the Italian manager decides to play him right from that start.
– Raphael Varane has no physical limitation anymore and is also eligible by Ancelotti to be called up for Madrid's starting 11.
Barcelona line-up (not confirmed): Valdés; Adriano, Bartra, Puyol, Daniel Alves; Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta; Neymar, Messi, Pedro.
Real Madrid line-up (not confirmed): Diego López; Marcelo, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Arbeloa; Khedira, Modric, Isco; Di María, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema.
