is a town in Galicia (Spain), in the province of Pontevedra. It is located on the left bank of the Minho River, facing the Portuguese town of Valença.
Its original local name, Tude, was already mentioned by Pliny the Elder and by Ptolemy, in the first century of the common era. It became an episcopal see not later than the 6th century, during the Suevic rule, when bishop Anila went to the II Council of Braga. Later, in the Visigothic period, it briefly served as the capital of a Galician subkingdom under king Wittiza. After the campaigns of Alfonso I of Asturias (739–757) against the Moors, the town lay abandoned in the largely empty buffer zone between Moors and Christians, being later part of the "Repoblación" (repopulation) effort carried out a century later, during the reign of Ordoño I of Asturias (850–866). In the 10th century, it was raided by Vikings, being abandoned and later re-established in its current location.
Today the town centre is near the Inn of San Telmo. On the top of the hill, the cathedral (11th–13th century) preserves Romanesque elements in its main vestibule, and the Gothic period in the western vestibule. The town has two museums, one dedicated to archaeology and sacred art, and the other is the diocesan museum.
Two bridges connect Tui and Valença: Tui International Bridge (known in Portugal as Valença International Bridge), completed in 1878 under the direction of Gustave Eiffel, and a modern one from the 1990s. Both countries being signatories of the Schengen Treaty, there are normally no formalities in crossing what is the busiest border-point in Northern Portugal.
The municipality of Tui is composed of 11 parishes: Randufe, Malvas, Pexegueiro, Areas, Pazos de Reis, Rebordáns, Ribadelouro, Guillarei, Paramos, Baldráns and Caldelas.
Português
Tui é um município raiano da Espanha na comarca do Baixo Minho, província de Pontevedra, comunidade autónoma da Galiza, de área 68,3 km² com população de 16948 habitantes (2007) e densidade populacional de 236,69 hab/km².
Situada à beira do rio Minho, é a principal fronteira – por autoestrada e caminho-de-ferro – entre a Galiza e Portugal (Valença do Minho).
O nome do município foi dado pelos romanos como Tude, e foi mencionado pelos escritores Estrabão e Ptolemeu. Durante o período visigodo, a Catedral de Tui foi uma das sedes episcopais do reino da Galécia (actualmente correpondente à diocese de Tui-Vigo, e chegou a abranger todo o Alto-Minho). Foi depois capital de uma das sete províncias do antigo Reino da Galiza até 1833.
Atualmente, o centro do município fica perto da Loja de São Telmo. No alto do montezinho, a catedral preserva o período românico no seu vestíbulo principal, e o período gôtico no seu vestíbulo ocidental.
A cidade tem dois museus, um dedicado à arqueologia e à arte sacra, e o outro é o museu diocesano.
Feeding on the nectar of harakeke flowers at Karori sanctuary.
An endemic passerine bird of New Zealand. It is one of the largest members of the diverse honeyeater family. The name Tui is from the Maori language name tūī and is the species' formal common name. The plural is simply 'Tui', following Māori usage. The English name, Parson Bird, has fallen into disuse but came about because at first glance the Tui appears completely black except for a small tuft of white feathers at its neck and a small white wing patch, causing it to resemble a parson in religious attire.
On closer inspection it can be seen that Tui have faded browner patches on the back and flanks, a multicoloured iridescent sheen that varies with the angle from which the light strikes them, and a dusting of small, white-shafted feathers on the back and sides of the neck that produce a lacy collar.
Tui are considered to be very intelligent, much like parrots. They also resemble parrots in their ability to clearly imitate human speech, and are known for their noisy, unusual call, different for each individual, that combine bellbird-like notes with clicks, cackles, timber-like creaks and groans, and wheezing sounds—the unusual possession of two voiceboxes enable Tui to perform such a myriad of vocalisations.Some of the huge range of Tui sounds are beyond the human register. Watching a Tui sing, one can observe gaps in the sound when the beak is agape and throat tufts throbbing. Tui will also sing at night, especially around the full moon period. The yellow deposits on the crest of this Tūī are grains of pollen rubbed off from the flowers on which it has been feeding.Nectar is the normal diet but fruit and insects are frequently eaten, and pollen and seeds more occasionally. Particularly popular is the New Zealand flax, whose nectar sometimes ferments, resulting in the Tui flying in a fashion that suggests that they might be drunk. Tui are the main pollinators of flax, kowhai, kaka beak and some other plants. Note that the flowers of the three plants mentioned are similar in shape to the Tui's beak—a vivid example of mutualistic coevolution.
Male Tui can be extremely aggressive, chasing all other birds (large and small) from their territory with loud flapping and sounds akin to rude human speech. This is especially true of other Tui when possession of a favoured feeding tree is impinged. Birds will often erect their body feathers in order to appear larger in an attempt to intimidate a rival. They have even been known to mob harriers and magpies. The powered flight of Tui is quite loud as they have developed short wide wings, giving excellent manoeuverability in the dense forest they prefer, but requiring rapid flapping. They can be seen to perform a mating display of rising at speed in a vertical climb in clear air, before stalling and dropping into a powered dive, then repeating. Much of this behaviour is more notable during the breeding season of early spring—September and October. Females alone build nests of twigs, grasses and mosses.

Álbum com 80 fotografias nocturnas do Campo de Santa Cruz.
Tomas efectuadas a 12.11.2014.
Este álbum integra a série “COIMBRA À NOITE TEM MAIS ENCANTO”.
O mítico Campo de Santa Cruz tem sido desde há longos anos (Fevereiro 1918), a casa desportiva dos estudantes da Academia de Coimbra, estando uma e outra indissociáveis. A presença do desporto da AAC no agora renovado Campo de Santa Cruz data de há quase um século e resultou de um pedido do Senado da Universidade de Coimbra ao Presidente da Comissão Executiva da Câmara Municipal de Coimbra, efectuado em 1914, para que esta cedesse à Associação Académica terrenos no Parque de Santa Cruz, para a prática desportiva universitária.
Desde essa altura, muitas têm sido as modalidades desportivas que por lá têm passado, desde o futebol ao rugby, passando pelo atletismo, basquetebol, hóquei em patins, andebol, voleibol e basebol, entre outras, sendo estas últimas praticadas em recinto próprio, entretanto construído para o efeito na parte norte do recinto. Foi neste magnífico campo que se conquistaram inúmeros títulos nos mais diversos escalões, tendo ficado na memória os muitos atletas que sempre representaram, dignificaram e elevaram o emblema da prestigiada Associação Académica de Coimbra.
Apesar do Campo de Santa Cruz ter ditado a história do Desporto em Coimbra na maior parte do último século, tendo inclusivamente contribuído de forma decisiva para o fomento da prática desportiva dos estudantes da Universidade de Coimbra, certo é que, por falta de manutenção, associada à construção do Estádio Universitário de Coimbra e a indecisões políticas quanto ao seu futuro, se assistiu à sua deterioração a partir dos anos 60. Durante as décadas de 80 e 90, o destino a dar a este recinto foi muitas vezes equacionado, tendo sido apresentados inúmeros projectos que felizmente não foram concretizados.

First flown with the Boeing test registration N1787B, this aircraft was delivered to GATX B737-800 Partners BV and leased to Novair Sweden as SE-DVR in Apr-99.
It was returned to the lessor in Apr-04 and immediately leased to SunExpress Airlines as TC-SUM. The aircraft was fitted with blended winglets in May-05.
It returned to the lessor in May-16 and was leased to Blue Air (Romania) as YR-BMD later the same month. The aircraft was sub-leased to TUI Airlines Netherlands in Jun-16 and returned to Blue Air at the end of Oct-16.
It was ferried to Tucson, AZ, USA at the end of Dec-19 and stored. It was sold to the Boeing Capital Corporation as N748BC in Jan-20 and remained stored at Tucson.
It was sold to GA Telesis in Sep-20 and re-registered N288LR in Nov-20. It continued in storage at Tucson until it was ferried to Miami, FL, USA in Jan-21 to await freighter conversion.
The aircraft was converted to full freighter configuration in Jul-21 and ferried to Dothan, AL, USA for painting. It was due to be leased to Mesa Airlines and operated on behalf of DHL Aviation but the lease and sub-lease was cancelled.
In Aug-21 it was leased to Compass Cargo Airlines, Bulgaria as LZ-CXA and continues in service. Updated 10-Feb-25.
