In the spring-time of his voodoo... I remember the lyrics from a Tori Amos song... April, May, June are the harbingers of blossom and a new period of vegetation - I can see it on my front-porch and garden. Planting the seeds or trees to become tomorrow's source of pleasure.

Bulgaria's Liberation Day, observed on March 3rd, commemorates the country's liberation from Ottoman rule, achieved in 1878 through the Treaty of San Stefano (Then a village west of Constantinople, present-day Istanbul; Today's name is Yeşilköy). This pivotal event followed the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), where Russia, with Bulgarian volunteers, fought against the Ottoman Empire to liberate Bulgaria. The war was a response to the Bulgarian April Uprising in 1876, which, despite its suppression, drew international attention to the Bulgarians' plight under Ottoman oppression. The conflict's brutality, particularly the Batak massacre, garnered sympathy for the Bulgarian cause, influencing Russia's decision to intervene. Key figures include Russian Tsar Alexander II, who ordered the military campaign, and Bulgarian revolutionary leaders like Vasil Levski and Hristo Botev, who laid the groundwork for national liberation through their resistance movements. The Treaty of San Stefano created a large autonomous Bulgarian principality under Ottoman suzerainty, but the subsequent Berlin Congress in July 1878 reduced its territory significantly. Despite this, March 3 remains a symbol of Bulgaria's struggle for independence and national identity, celebrating the end of almost five centuries of Ottoman dominance and the beginning of a new era in Bulgarian history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_Day_(Bulgaria) Art&Text🫶ChatGPT.

Valve Corporation, an influential player in the gaming industry, was co-founded by Gabe Newell in 1996 after he left Microsoft. Valve produced iconic games like "Half-Life" and "Portal" and revolutionized digital distribution with its Steam platform. Newell also implemented a unique flat organizational structure that fosters innovation and employee autonomy, setting them apart as a distinctive and forward-thinking company in the tech world. The Valve Corporation Handbook for new employees, published March 2012, is a distinctive guide reflecting the company's innovative and unconventional work culture. It has a candid and engaging approach to introducing Valve's flat organizational structure, where traditional hierarchies are eschewed in favor of a more democratic, self-managing ethos. Employees at Valve enjoy an unusual level of autonomy, with the freedom to select their projects and teams, emblematically illustrated by the concept of desks on wheels, enabling staff to physically move to the workspaces where they feel they can contribute the most. They hire "T-shaped" individuals—people who are not only experts in their field but also like to collaborate. The handbook includes humorous illustrations and comics to convey the company's culture and expectations; it is a reflection of the company's core philosophy that prioritizes innovation, independence, and a deep belief in its team members.
