Thank you, Sara. The layout does give some appeal rather than a simple left to right piece. Glad to read your comment and commendation.

The word yalto takes me to Yalta in Ukraine and the Yalta Conference, (February 1945), major World War II conference of the three chief Allied leaders—Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union—which met at Yalta in Crimea to plan the final defeat and occupation of Nazi Germany.
