The 400m hurdles is a men's and women's event at the Olympics and it is a popular track and field event for betting. As the name would suggest, runners compete over a 400m distance, although they must also negotiate 10 hurdles along the way. The 400 metre hurdles has been an Olympic event for men since 1900, although it was only introduced for women in 1984.
The times have consistently decreased over the years, with America's Kevin Young, an Olympic gold medallist in 1992, currently holding the world record men's time after he ran 46.78 seconds at the Barcelona Olympics. The women's world record is held by Yuliya Pechonkina, who ran 52.34 seconds in 2003.
The 400m hurdle gold medal winners at London in 2012 were Felix Sanchez in the men's event and Natalya Antyukh in the women's. There have been some fine British efforts in this race over the years, with Sally Gunnell taking Olympic gold in 1992, while Kriss Akabusi took bronze in 1992, as did Tasha Denvers in 2008.


How does the labour market work in Germany? What are my rights and duties as an employee?
The integration of refugees into the labour market is absolutely crucial. It is not only about providing an easy path into paid work, it is also about providing fair working conditions.
Refugees and third-country nationals are very often employed for a salary below the standard wage; they do not work according to the legal working time regulations and are often exposed to other forms of exploitation. For the most part this is due to the fact that they are insufficiently informed about their rights on the German labour market.
As for the time being, there is no uniform information structure for refugees throughout Germany on minimum working standards and labour law. However, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has already initiated the program "Fair Integration", which will be implemented via the Network "Integration through Qualification (IQ)".
"Fair Integration" is an advisory service aimed at setting up a nationwide counselling organisation on the German labour market standards.
The counselling is free of charge and confidential.

The Venom Formula
by Mike Greear | in Editorials | Fri, 1 June 2012
If there's one character who is constantly in need of a makeover, it's Venom. Although he's proven to be one of Peter Parker's greatest threats, the character itself has proven to be a pretty weak one, with a convoluted backstory and a poorly fleshed out motivation. I've talked about him before in a column from several months ago, wherein I compared the design for Bane in the upcoming Christopher Nolan Bat-film The Dark Knight Rises to the Lethal Protector, and decided that if we could ever get a simple, stripped down, believable version of Venom, he'd probably be more like Bane than the character we've been reading about since Amazing Spider-Man #298.
I'm sure you all know the original Venom's backstory by now, but in case there's any need to jog your memory, let's glance back over its major plot points. Back in the mid-'80s, when comics were getting all dark and morose, Spider-Man went toe-to-toe against a new foe named the Sin-Eater, whose special powers were being a religious nut and killing people with a shotgun. Quite a departure from the days when Spidey's arch-nemesis was a guy in a green rubber elf mask who tossed around cherry bombs shaped like Jack O'Lanterns.
While the Sin-Eater killings were going on, a journalist named Eddie Brock wrote an expose claiming that a man named Emil Gregg had confessed to him that he was the masked serial killer. His paper ran the story, and later, when Spider-Man caught the Sin-Eater and his identity was discovered to be that of police sergeant Stan Carter, Brock was canned. Unable to find work at a decent publication after the erroneous expose, Brock resorts to working for tabloid papers, "spewing venom" as he put it. During this time he grew increasingly bitter toward Spider-Man.
Finally, when he couldn't take it anymore, Brock headed to his local cathedral and asked for forgiveness from God before taking his own life. Coincidentally, Spider-Man had just been in the same cathedral days earlier, the belfry to be exact, where he was using the cacophonous tolling of the bells to overpower the parasitic costume he had obtained years earlier from an alien machine on a distant planet called Battleworld. Unbeknownst to Spider-Man, the costume-shaped parasite didn't die from the sonic assault but clung to life just long enough to find a new host in Brock. The two partners in crime combined their rage against Spidey, formed a union called Venom, and went on to become one of Spider-Man's deadliest foes. (The symbiote has since jumped to a few different hosts, and Brock has since obtained a different form of the symbiote called Anti-Venom, but the classic Brock Venom is the version that always makes its way into other iterations of Spider-Man's story; e.g. the film, video games, and cartoons.)
This backstory just doesn't work for me. On what planet would you need to kill someone like Spider-Man for catching a bad guy just because you messed up and told people the bad guy in question was someone else? That's on you. That's why I never really understood what this had to do with wanting to get revenge on Spider-Man. Why didn't he start off wanting to get revenge on Emil Grerr, the jackass serial confessor who fed Brock the bad story? Or why didn't he just stop writing for tabloids if he hated it so much and get a job as a personal trainer or something. I mean it looks like the guy knows a thing or two about body building, probably more than he knows about journalism. Eddie Brock as a character is decidedly uncompelling. His motivation is boring and absurd, and it's hard to reconcile a guy this unfun and whiny with the lovable goofballs that make up the rest of Spidey's rogues gallery. Add to the equation a parasitic "symbiote" costume that is by definition 2-dimensional and lacking in personality, and you get the recipe for an especially boring character.
Flash forward to 2003, and it's time for the Ultimate Universe to reinvigorate this dull relic of the doom-and-gloom '80s with its own, more modern backstory. This time around, Eddie Brock is somewhat of a long-lost older brother to Peter Parker, being the son of the scientist that had worked closely with Peter's dad before both sets of parents were killed in the same tragic plane crash. Before they died, the duo had been working on a sort of parasitic dip called "The Suit," which Peter's father saw as a cure for cancer and Eddie's father saw as having a potential military applications. When Eddie reconnected with Peter, he let him in on this "Project Venom" that their parents had been working on and showed him a sample of the Suit. Peter was accidentally exposed to part of the sample, which resulted in the Ultimate Spider-Man's black costume. He was later able to reject this symbiote, but Eddie became enraged at Peter for destroying the suit and applied a second sample to himself, giving birth to Ultimate Venom.
This origin is a little better. It sidesteps the extra-terrestrial origins of the symbiote and creates a foundation for it in chemistry and medicine, which is where Spider-Man's particular brand of sci-fi has always resided. It also makes an attempt to link the suit and Eddie to Peter Parker's backstory and his parents, making it a matter of inheritance and birthright to discover the suit, wear it, and later reject it. Later, when Brock comes after Spider-Man as Venom, it's like a shadowy part of the Parker family's past coming back to haunt them. However, I still don't really care very much about this Eddie guy. His only purpose as a character is to (a) get really pissed at Spider-Man over a misunderstanding, and (b) give the symbiote someone with a bulky frame to bond with. He's virtually a mannequin. I don't see why he's necessary for this character's story to be believable.
Now let's flash-forward again to a few days ago, to the premiere of the fourth episode of the new Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon series, entitled "Venom." In this episode, the Venom saga is streamlined and fit snuggly into a single, bite-sized, 20-minute episode. Rather than going through a huge backstory for both Eddie Brock and the symbiote, we simply observe as a blood sample taken from Spidey during a clash with one of Doctor Octopus's robots is returned to the mad doctor, who is urged by Norman Osborn to use the sample to create a legion of super-soldiers. (We're even given a glimpse of these soldiers, which look very similar to the Flash Thompson Venom that is currently in the comics.) The sample gets loose, travels up the sewers back to its physiological source, and in the process, bonds with current Marvel Universe 616 Venom, Flash Thompson. The Flash-hosted Venom goes after Spider-Man, who battles him with the help of his friends Iron Fist, Luke Cage, White Tiger, and Nova. In the process, the parasite hops from one character to the next, hoping to land on Spidey. When it finally does, the old familiar black-and-white Venom is born, but Spidey quickly manages to subdue the beast using his new electric webbing, a gift from Nick Fury. In his lair, Octopus informs Osborn that he hopes to continue his research into the Venom super-soldier project.
This origin for the character is about as perfect as we'll probably ever get for this character. It's not perfect; I still have major problems with the idea that such a big, gnarly-looking monster is the result of black goo "bonding" to people, but making it Flash Thompson covered in "toilet sludge" is considerably more easy to swallow. (Forgive me for the image that such a grouping of words probably brings to mind.) For starters, I really dig that the super-soldier concept is used here, as it is the backbone of the Ultimate Universe and the fundamental reason for why there is an Ultimate version of Spider-Man in the first place.
It also makes more sense that the symbiote is on Flash instead of Eddie. In retrospect, it should've always just been Flash under that many-fanged mask. There's no reason to go and create a blond, spiky-haired antagonist from scratch who has an arbitrary beef with Spider-Man, because Flash Thompson already is that guy, only more fun. Give him the symbiote now, and have him work out his aggression toward "Puny" Parker as a hulking, slobbering super-villain. In doing so, you get a rogue that fits in nicely with the rogues gallery that Lee and Ditko established 50 years ago.
It's much more interesting to view Venom not as an '80s suicidal psychopath or a '90s anti-hero, but as a high school bully that finds out his favorite super-hero is actually the nerd that he harasses, and is then given the power to… super-harass him. Then, as the character matures, he can evolve into the current Black Ops version of Venom that he has become in the comics, which is so far the best version of Venom around. Cut out the alien stuff, cut out the Brock stuff, make it a corrupted bit of Spidey DNA that forms a super-soldier exoskeleton that Peter Parker's bully (and Spider-Man's #1 fan) goes on to wear, and you get a pretty decent character.
Venom is a tricky character to do right. For some reason, no one has really been able to make a compelling case for why this character needs to exist and how he makes sense in the context of the rest of Spider-Man's pantheon of villains. This version of him, a sort of "Ultimate Ultimate Venom," is an improvement on an improvement. It's the origin of Venom as seen with 20/20 hindsight upon what has made this character interesting and what hasn't worked. If we absolutely have to have a Venom hanging around the Marvel Universe, it should at least be one that has the fewest amount of dots between his origin and who is currently hosting the parasite, and it should be a character that holds some kind of weight in Peter Parker's life. I can only hope that Brock is kept out of future episodes of the series and that this origin is seen as a suitable retcon for the character. (I can dream, can't I?) Maybe it will even find its way into the rebooted Spider-Man movie franchise. After all, if there's any character that could benefit from a reboot of his film adaptation, it's this one.

Nice post. However, I disagree slightly; I like the alien concept. First it is not your typical green, big eyed alien. Second, making the suit a living parasite makes it its own character. It has thoughts, feelings and motives. While the Ultimate Symbiote is more believable, it doesn't have a conscience so it doesn't function by itself. I also think Brock was perfect for the first Venom. Flash has always idolizes Spider-Man and would never fight him with the suit, he has no reason to. Brock's story, while a little insane, gave him a motive to hate Spider-Man. A motive which he stuck to for awhile (after he thought he killed Spidey, he disappeared for the longest time). While I am grateful for Remender's new Black Ops Venom (since he brought life back into my favorite character), he is a different character, not the Venom I grew up with. I like the suicidal psychopath anti-hero that Brock made with the symbiote and in an ideal world, Brock would become that type of character (either with the Toxin symbiote or Anti-Venom) and Flash would continue with his Black Ops Venom shtick.

New York Settlement Planning
Can a Parent Sell A Minor Child's Structured Settlement to Buy an ATV for the Minor?
With birthdays and holidays, it's not uncommon for parents to want to do something special for their children. But does that include selling a minor's structured settlement to buy an ATV recreational vehicle?
So what happens if a 10 year old child appeals to the parent for something like an ATV and the parent would get it for them if they could afford it right now, can the parent and guardian reach out to a structured settlement buyer and sell the minor's structured settlement payments earmarked for college, for cash now, to buy an ATV? If they could, would the deal make financial sense?
Would a judge approve the sale of minor's structured settlement to buy an ATV for a minor?
Structured settlements are common in settlements involving minors and are preferable to blocked accounts or the court's registry. Blocked accounts and the court's registry will earn little-to-no interest from the date of the settlement until the child reaches the age of majority. Upon reaching the age of majority, the child has unrestricted access to the entire amount of the settlement, at a time when he or she might not be financially responsible enough to make smart decisions about a substantial amount of money.
So what happens if a 9 1/2 year old child appeals to the parent for something like an ATV and the parent would get it for them if they could afford it right now, can the parent and guardian reach out to a structured settlement buyer and sell the minor's structured settlement payments earmarked for college, for cash now, to buy an ATV? If they could, would the deal make financial sense?
Settlement Agreements and Qualified Assignments Contain a Prohibition, Unless...
If you review any settlement agreement and release or qualified assignment agreement you will see a paragraph that looks something like this:
"Acceleration, Transfer of Payment Rights. None of the Periodic Payments and no rights to or interest in any of the Periodic Payments (all of the foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as "Payment Rights") can be
i. Accelerated, deferred, increased or decreased by any recipient of any of the Periodic Payments; or
ii. Sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred or encumbered, either directly or indirectly, unless such sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer or encumbrance (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a "Transfer") has been approved in advance in a "Qualified Order" as defined in Section 5891(b)(2) of the Code (a "Qualified Order") and otherwise complies with applicable state law, including without limitation any applicable state structured settlement protection statute."
Why the Restrictions?
Tax Reasons Setting aside the part of the paragraph that deals with Section 5891, the the foundation of this language is the tax law that supports the tax exemption afforded structured settlement payees who are receiving periodic payments as damages.
Protection If someone wants to sell their structured settlement payments, the transaction must be approved by a state court judge, in compliance with the settlement protection act in the state where the payee resides. It's not a perfect system but as the Barber case shows, one cannot always rely on structured settlement factoring companies (and sometimes parents) to be trustworthy.
1. Unlikely to be Approved by Judge It is highly unlikely that a judge would approve the sale of minor's structured settlement payment rights for pennies on the dollar to make a discretionary purchase such as an ATV for a minor.
Special needs may be considered, but only if there are no other sources available, such as insurance. Settlements involving minors must be approved by a court and can only be changed by court order, for good cause shown, and of course the petitioning party would have to convince the judge that any change is a necessity for the minor.
2. Selling a structured settlement, or part of it, to pay for an ATV for a minor makes no financial sense
Many states have laws about what types of ATV's are approved for what ages. For instance, in Kentucky, any operator under the age of 12 must have a helmet, parent supervision and cannot operate an ATV that has an engine size of 70 cubic centimeters (cc). Harry Sheen addresses the subject in a 2019 article posted on Axle Addict says "When it comes to shopping for a brand new 70cc ATV, there are a lot of different models to consider from a range of different brands. ATVs this size are generally intended for kids around the ages of 6 to 10, but I would definitely recommend that you:
check your four-wheeler manufacturer's recommended age guide)
check for any local and state age limits for ATV riding.
Sheen says " considering your child's age and experience on a four-wheeler, you might want to get a 50cc four wheeler or even smaller for your kid".
An ATV for child aged 10 or under, would set you back perhaps $2,500 with a helmet and all the gear. If you have a structure with payments earmarked for college, you wouldn't want to touch that at all. Say your child has a lump sum at age 21 or 22, the ATV would have a net cost of at least double that to net out the $2,500 after the costs and profits of the factoring company are taken into account.
Whatever you do, do not call structured settlement buyers for advice about your minor's structured settlement
If you engage any structured settlement buyers by email, phone, text or other form of communication, you may be speaking with someone who is both unlicensed and unqualified to give advice. Furthermore, your child's information will go into their database, leaving your child open to abuse later. Stay safe.
According to the 2018 Annual Report of ATV-Related Deaths and Injuries, published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in February 2020, children under 12 made up 48% of child fatalities and 52 % of the injuries involving ATVs in 2018 and 44% of the fatalities over the 37 year period from January 1, 1982 to December 31, 2018.

Structured Settlement Industry Production Was A Record Setting $6.4B in 2019!
Structured settlement industry premium production increased for the second year in a row. 2019 was a record setting year for structured settlements, exceeding $6.4B, a massive statement of relevance for the core personal injury settlement planning tool in an era of low interest rates and record setting stock market performance
Structured settlements remain a relevant core personal injury settlement planning tool that enables parties to address the personal needs of plaintiffs with a level of precision. In addition to traditional uses of structured settlements in personal injury, wrongful death and workers compensation settlements, there are many applications in the non qualified structured settlement area such as employment and commercial settlements, structured installment sales, wrongful imprisonment (the latter has tax exclusion but cannot be assigned under IRC 130).
A round of applause goes to my industry colleagues, their employees and to representatives of American General, Berkshire Hathaway, Independent Life, MetLife, New York Life, Pacific Life, The Prudential Insurance Company of America, United of Omaha and USAA Life insurance companies , and our trade associations, with whom I share this success. A further round goes to legal counsel, insurers and adjusters who support structured settlements and take the time to stay current on the many applications of structured settlements and who choose to retain structured settlement experts.

Structured Settlement Annuities Are NOT Tax Exempt
There is a false narrative concerning structured settlement annuities that claims that structured settlement annuities are tax exempt. Structured
Structured settlement annuities are not tax exempt. The focus is on the damages
settlement annuities are not tax exempt. Where used as a "qualified funding asset" the structured settlement payments may be tax exempt, but the essential reason for the tax exemption is the damages that the payments from the structured settlement annuities represent.
Payments for workers compensation see IRC 104(a)(1)
Payments for damages on account of personal physical injury, physical sickness and wrongful death, see IRC 104(a)(2) [and IRC 104(c) for Alabama wrongful death]
Payments for wrongful imprisonment, see IRC 139F
Structured settlement annuities can be used to fund the payment of damages in settlement of lawsuits comprised of many types of taxable damages. Even though they are funded with structured settlement annuities, if established properly each payment in such cases is taxed in the year received.
I'm sure that the false narrative is not intentional, but what is surprising is the false narrative is articulated in public facing communications by certain people and companies with credentials and experience. Those who spread the false narrative, even unintentionally, may be used as sources of "validation" for content barfers in (or serving) the structured settlement secondary market. Clearly this does not serve the greater good for consumers or the industry.

US Court of Appeals Rules that US Army Must Cover ELNY Annuity Shortfall
Trevor Langkamp appealed the judgment of the United States Court of Federal Claims granting the government's motion for summary judgment and rejecting his claim seeking damages for breach of a tort settlement agreement. See Langkamp v. United States, 131 Fed. Cl. 85 (2017) ("Court of Federal Claims Decision"). In its November 27, 2019 decision, United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit concluded that the court erred in holding that the United States had no continuing liability for the future monthly and periodic lump-sum payments specified in the (settlement) agreement, and reversed and remanded.
In 1980, Trevor Langkamp, then a toddler, suffered severe burn injuries at a property owned and operated by the United States Army. Langkamp's parents, Joseph and Christina Langkamp, brought an action against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA"), 28 U.S.C. § 2674, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. An annuity was purchased from Executive Life Insurance Company of New York (ELNY) as part of the settlement. ELNY was liquidated in August 2013. Following the ELNY liquidation and the folding of assets in to Guaranty Association Benefits Company. Guaranty Association Benefits Company (GABC), a not-for-profit captive insurance company domiciled in Washington, D.C., was created by the 40 state life and health insurance guaranty associations triggered by the liquidation of Executive Life Insurance Company of New York (ELNY) to pay out benefits to ELNY payees and certificate holders. A number of the payees suffered and continue to suffer from shortfalls.
Several payees have tried to sue the government over ELNY shortfalls and failed. In its March 31, 2017 decision in Karen L. Shaw et al v The United States (no. 14-783C), the Court concluded, that the plain language of the Settlement Agreement demonstrates that the government did not unequivocally guarantee that it would make annuity payments in the event of a default by the annuity company. The decision was affirmed on appeal August 20, 2018.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Langkamp case focuses on the settlement agreement. The government's commitment was inherent in the language of the agreement, the opinion by Judge Haldane Robert Mayer said.
("[T]he defendants . . . will pay to the plaintiffs . . . the sum of $239,425.45 as an upfront payment . . . and a structured settlement for the benefit of Trevor Langkamp, which sum shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of any and all claims said plaintiffs now have or may hereafter acquire against the defendants . . . on account of the incident or circumstances giving rise to this suit. providing a schedule of future monthly and periodic lump-sum payments and stating that "the plaintiffs hereby agree to accept said sum in full settlement and satisfaction of any and all claims and demands . . . which it or its agents or assigns may have against the defendants The government additionally contends that if the Settlement Agreement is ambiguous it should be interpreted in a manner that preserves its enforceability. In its view, Langkamp's reading of the agreement—which imposes continuing liability for future payments—would render it unenforceable because the Assistant U.S. Attorney who signed the agreement on the government's behalf had no authority to settle Langkamp's claim for more than $400,000, J.A. 136–40, 162. This argument falls flat. As a preliminary matter, we discern no ambiguity regarding the government's payment obligations under the Settlement Agreement; it means what it says when it requires the United States to "pay . . . a structured settlement" to Langkamp. Even if we were to assume arguendo, moreover, that there is some ambiguity in the contract language, there is no indication that in 1984 the present value of the government's obligations under the Settlement Agreement—including the initial cash payment and the stream of scheduled future payments—exceeded the settlement authority delegated to the Assistant U.S. Attorney. In this regard, the "'total present value' of a payment stream plausibly refers to its cost, not to the amount a beneficiary receives." Ezell v. Lexington Ins. Co., 926 F.3d 48, 50 (1st Cir. 2019); see also Old Republic Ins. Co. v. Ashley, 722 S.W.2d 55, 57 (Ky. Ct. App. 1986) (explaining that although certain annuities had "an estimated yield of $2,853,000," they had a "present value of . . . $732,000"). Here, after disbursing the required "upfront payment" of $239,425.45, J.A. 133, the government spent $160,574.55 to purchase two single premium annuity policies from ELNY, policies which promised to make all the monthly and periodic lump-sumpayments"

'Aparatos' auditions 2019: A look at the 2019 movie auditivisys
Aparatos auditions is a major film industry body that runs the Oscars.
It is an auditions body that auditions every film, including those released in 2019.
Aparato also runs the auditions for the World Premiere and the Oscars, but it is not yet clear whether that will be included in 2019's film auditivusys.
The Aparats are not only the auditors for the 2019 Oscars, they also audit the film festivals in which all of the films are released.
The Aparat has announced it will hold its own auditions this summer for the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.
The auditions are expected to last three days and are expected at the start of September.
Auditions are usually held at the Cannes Lions Film Festival, where a panel of film experts will assess the films and the industry's practices.
The panel will be followed by a panel composed of the film's director, writer, producer, cinematographer, screenwriter, and actors.
The Oscars are a showcase for the best of the best films.
They are often watched by an audience of around 1.2 billion people.
Auditions for these awards usually last three to four days, but there are other opportunities for people to get involved, such as film festivals.
Aparats Auditions 2019 will be held at 10am on Saturday, October 10 at the Auditions House, a large auditorium on the outskirts of Cannes.
Auditors will begin their examination at 11am on Friday, October 8.
Avenue C, where the festival takes place, is on the ground floor of the theatre.
The auditorium is the main venue for the auditing, which is expected to start at 11:30am.
Auditioners will be asked to fill out their own forms, including a one-page questionnaire about the movie.
They can also check their answers off the questionnaire as well as submit the form to the Aparatrios auditions office for approval.
There will also be a film review at 12:00 noon.
There will be a reception for the auditorium and the audience at 2:00pm.
Auditioners can ask questions to anyone who comes up to ask.
Auditors will not be allowed to ask people for their opinions about a film they have not seen, nor will they be allowed interview anyone outside of the company's auditorium.
Audits are expected in English and Spanish.
There are a few other important things that you need to know before the day starts:The first auditions will take place on Friday morning, October 9.
Audiences are asked to bring their own camera.
Audience members will also have to wear a wristband.
Auditivisies are held for films that are not yet released in theatres.
This means that only those who have seen the film will be allowed into the auditoria.
Audiobooks, which are released on DVDs, can be used to help you decide if the movie you want to see is right for you.
Audios will not only be held for the film itself, but also the director, cast and crew, as well the sound and sound mix.
Audiovisies, which include documentaries and short films, are not held for new films and may not have a complete cast.
Audiovisys will be conducted by the Aavigal, a French film and television production company.
AudioBlox, a website that lets you upload audio clips, is used to run the audios.
A list of the people who will be auditing is available online.
The second auditions start on Saturday evening, October 12.
Auditors will then be given a list of films to check and their questions to answer.
The Auditos will start at 12 noon, and Audiatos will then begin.
The final auditions begin at 2pm.
There is no limit on the number of people that can attend an audition.
There is no screening for the entire audience, so anyone who wants to get into the cinema and listen to the film should be able to do so.
Audiato will not have an auditorium with an actual auditorium to hold the audiobook and AuditoBlox.
Audiobox is a small theater, and so it cannot hold the whole auditorium for an entire film.
Audiatos are free to watch a film for the duration of their audit.
The first Audiaton will be open to the public, and the Audiatonal is open to all auditors.
Audatons will be located on the side of the street, near the entrance to the theatre, and you can check on their status via the website.
Audient groups will be able bring their friends and family, and will be given access to a number of seats.
The main auditorium seats between two and four people.

• Natural ventilation is best suited to buildings where a large amount of internal heat is generated, since this leads to a high temperature gradient.
• If the building is tall, then this provides even more ideal conditions for natural ventilation to work at its most efficient, since this creates a good stack effect that makes moving air between different levels within the building easier.
The ventilation system must guarantee that the maximum temperatures that allow the efficient operation of the plant as well as comfortable working conditions for the staff are never exceeded.
As a designer, whether it is a new building that will have high internal heat gains or a retrofit to an existing building, you will be evaluating the respective benefits and feasibility of natural and mechanical ventilation.
• Not liable to breakdown.
• When the building is entirely or partially enclosed within a main structure, so that there is no direct access to the outside and therefore it is impossible to provide openings for natural ventilation.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, carried out by an expert in CFD simulation, is an excellent tool to identify the best system for each building. These simulations can show the flows and transfer of energy within the building in different situations, helping to develop the most effective solution.
In our example of a building with areas of different heights open to each other, the CFD simulation shows that the neutral plane is in the top section of the building. This means that the natural exhaust ventilation system is only effective above this line, while air inlets are spread at low level across all areas.
The CFD simulation of air movement and velocity within the building indicates the best locations for inlet and extract ventilators.
In this building the CFD analysis shows how effective natural ventilation is and gives important information to design a well engineered system.
If you need help with your ventilation system design or CFD analysis support, you can contact us for a free consultation.
