I enjoy listening to everyone on this podcast I never get to see it live but while I'm working I'm listening.
The banter is great and love the information that's when you have reviews done..haha..
I'm looking to be a snow bird to Florida when or before I retire. I'm wondering where I can go to get Florida gun information and shooting ranges.
I life in Michigan at the moment and I want to get my cpl in Florida now if I can.
Thank you for your time and keep up the great work you do.


Two new exhibitions opened on Sunday, Oct. 8, at the National Gallery of Art; although they are worlds apart, both geographically and conceptually, each, in its own way is worth a visit.
"Fragonard" will generate the most attention, since his works, especially the NGA's own Young Girl Reading, dated 1769, were aimed to please the public (and generate income for the artist). A newly discovered drawing by Fragonard, and 14 of his paintings that have been identified with it, including Young Girl Reading, comprise this exhibit.
Not to be overlooked, is the second opening Oct. 5, of Netherlandish drawings of the 16th and early 17th centuries, including works by Hieronymus Bosch, Peter Bruegel the Elder, and Hendrick Goltzius, all of whom, to one degree or another, had absorbed the influences of Classical and Renaissance art.
Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806), was a highly esteemed painter in his lifetime, and exemplified the Rococo style, popular in the 18th-Century France of Louis XV: ornate, decorative, colorful, and, like a bit of French puff pastry, not very nutritious—what some might call today, "eye candy." Yet he was also, like many artists who otherwise reflect the tastes of their time, a gifted painter, and capable of more provocative and thoughtful work.
Fragonard's two trips to Italy, 1760 and 1773, to study the artists of the Renaissance were crucial to his development, and were instrumental in his break with the stuffy French Academy, whose constrictions Fragonard refused to be bound by. The "Fantasy Figures" were painted in 1769 following his first trip to Italy.
Fragonard's "Figures," are ingeniously witty—not at all like the frothy bits of whimsy he is best known for. These picaresque characters show a side of the artist that goes deeper to reveal something true and engaging about each figure.
Moreover, while they are described in the literature that accompanies the exhibit as rendered à l'espagnole (Spanish style), i.e., extravagantly dressed in costumes featuring large ruffled collars, ribbons, extravagant jewelry, etc., each is a tour de force of composition, character, color, and pure painting skill. Each shows its subject in a dramatic half-figure pose; most are seated, turning in the space to peer over their shoulders; a few look out at the viewer; more often, they turn to look at something we can't see, but are left to imagine.
… and a self-portrait with Saskia, dramatically presented as the Prodigal Son in a tavern.
Thus, Fragonard, painter of enchanting scenes of lovely ladies and young gentlemen, sumptuously dressed in the latest fashions, shows himself to be an artist who both reflected the (silly) tastes of the day, but also one who at times placed himself squarely in the tradition of the Italian and Dutch renaissances of the 15th through the 17th centuries.
This exhibition of 15th-17th centuries Netherlandish drawings, some 100 works, on loan from Rotterdam's Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen explores the many functions of drawings, from preparatory studies for paintings and designs for prints to finished works of art.
The National Gallery exhibit features the tremendous skill and virtuosity of masters such as Hieronymus Bosch, Abraham Bloemaert, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and Hendrick Goltzius, at the same time that it presents numerous fascinating works by lesser known artists.
The emergence of free-standing landscape drawing and painting, i.e., as a genre of its own, rather than as background, is one of the most important developments of the period, and is represented in this exhibition by a number of panoramic mountain views by the great master Pieter Bruegel the Elder, along with studies by later artists such Pieter's son, Jan Breughel, among others.
In Bosch's The Owl's Nest (c. 1505/1515), a small (5.5×7.75 inches) pen and ink drawing, we see three little owls in the upper branches of an old tree, along with several other birds. In a tour de force of distinct textures and shading, Bosch (1450-1516) contrasts the rough texture of the tree bark with the soft plumage of the owls' feathers. So engrossing is the activity of the owls—one has just landed and looks down at the baby owl in the hollow of the tree, while a third nests in the branch above—that you might not notice the miniature landscape in the lower left-hand corner, or the one on the lower right, where you can make out a church tower and windmills. There is another iconic Boschian image at the far left: a wheel on a tall pole where the bodies of those who had been executed were placed as examples to all who might see it. He often used this image as a metaphor for the cruelty of the Spanish Habsburg occupation of the Netherlands (1581 to 1714).
Han Bol (1534-93) produced a series of drawings of the months, a genre that was popularized by Pieter Bruegel. All 12 are on view in the Gallery's exhibit. These small roundels each depict typical activity for the specific time of year. Here, in the month of September, we see apples being harvested, from the picking of the fruit high up in the tree, then lowered into baskets, and transferred to sacks, loaded onto carts, which are then transported into the beautifully rendered city in the distance.
From another series of drawings, the Seven Virtues—Fortitude, Charity, Temperance, Faith, Prudence, Justice, and Hope—the first three of which are shown in the exhibit. The year before, Bruegel had published his print series, The Seven Deadly Sins (The Vices), and what we see here are the preparatory drawings for the Virtues. In Fortitude, a winged woman, Fortitude, stands at the center, as a battle rages around her. She wears a breastplate, and is surrounded by scenes in which the righteous engage in a struggle against monsters and devils, who seem to have jumped directly out of Bruegel's Vices (which, in turn, were derived from Bosch's fantasy creations), and onto the battleground. Fortitude's foot rests on a dragon which has been tamed, an allusion to the triumph of the Archangel Michael over Satan and the rebel angels.
Like other Netherlandish artists, Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) traveled to Italy, and absorbed the influence of the Classical and Renaissance works he saw there, and from works his fellow artists brought home from the imperial court in Prague. We see evidence of this in his Arithmetic, which, like Bol's Months and Bruegel's Virtues, was part of a series of drawings, in this case, of the Seven Liberal Arts, only two others of which, Rhetoric and Geometry have survived. These subjects were derived from Classical antiquity and were viewed in the Middle Ages as the foundation of human knowledge.
The drawing is freely executed, with a combination of rapid pen strokes and washes of red-brown color, creating effects of light and shade. Arithmetic sits on a chair, as she makes figure calculations on a slate, before a barely sketched-in landscape beyond. This work, and the other two extant members of the series were intended as designs for a group of prints. Note that Arithmetic is using her left hand to write, as are the figures in Rhetoric and Geometry, such that when reversed in the printing process, they would have appeared right-handed.
Great job, Bonnie. I particularly loved the Franklin and fragonard.


Navid Kossari has come to The Way of No Way as an eager young man with an empty cup. Although Navid was a high school competitive wrestler and dabbled in traditional martial arts as a kid, he had no preconceived notions about training, which accelerated his learning process. He is a very gifted and humble martial artist. His talents have earned him the title of Assistant Instructor and a spot on the Fight Team. Navid has represented The Way of No Way in local smoker bouts and regional Savate and Muay Thai fights, including the 2012 Muay Thai Classic which is the largest national Muay Thai competition. Look out for this young man as he has a very promising future in martial arts.


Wise Results (Total Seats - 403). Economic distress edit Main article: Imprisonment for debt (Upper Canada) The brunt of this economic distress was felt by the common farmers. I sincerely appreciate the committees time in evaluating my application and giving me the opportunity to tell my story. I also learned a very important and valuable lesson: prior to this internship, I had imagined becoming a marine biologist, working directly with the animals in their care both in captivity and in the wild. 32 The last real engagement prior to the Battle of Montgomerys Tavern occurred on December 6 via a raid on a mail coach which was suspected to have government intelligence regarding future actions towards the rebels. Although the British had originally hoped that an orderly settlement in Upper Canada would inspire the former American colonies to abandon their republican 11 form of government, demographic realities intervened.
Choice, option, alternative, preference, selection, election mean the act or opportunity of choosing or the thing chosen. Choice suggests the opportunity or privilege of choosing freely.

The Andrew Jackson site has been retired from pbs. They launched the, patriot War in 1838-39. Proofs are superfluous, when facts are admitted. It was this reality that led American legislators to speculate that bringing Upper Canada into the American fold would be a "mere matter of marching." Following the war, the colonial government took active steps to prevent Americans from swearing allegiance, thereby making them ineligible.

With its value in home aesthetics and design, you must have wondered about the plant classification of a cactus or generally what a cactus is. With more than 170 variants and 2,000 species and counting, cacti are not trees, not flowers, not herbs but are definitely plants.
The cactus belongs to the family Cactaceae. They are not flowering plants but they will produce flowers They are not trees but they can grow as tall but without woody stems.
They are considered succulents because they can store water in their stems for a long time but that is much it and that is why there is a need to differentiate cacti from the rest of the succulents. Its name comes from the Latin word kaktos which means spiky plant.
As interesting as it already is, here are some other fun cactus facts that you should not miss.
Cacti spine protects them from being eaten by predators and helps them to stay insulated during heavy drought.
Their ribbed and waxy surface help them in retaining water in their stems.
For cacti, photosynthesis happens at night and they do so with their stems because they do not have leaves.
Not all cacti are prickly. Forest cacti have bristles instead of spikes.
Wild cacti can last for more than a hundred years while indoor cacti could last for 15 years, max.
It is native to Mexico, Brazil and the rest of central and Latin America. It extends to British Columbia and Patagonia.
Cacti grow as trees, shrubs or vines; some species of cacti are epiphytes. Many cacti have 'spines', although 'spines' are actually the leaves of the plant, which have evolved to survive the environment. Many cacti 'spines' preserve and protect the evaporation of water from the plant. Cacti often have colorful blooms which flower at various times of the year. Cacti grow in all shapes and sizes.
Cacti grow in dry, desert areas where rainfall is minimal; consequently, many cacti are xerophytes (a plant able to survive with little or no water) and/or succulents. Cacti maintain water through Crassulacean acid metabolism; Crassulacean acid metabolism is a process which takes place at night and stores carbon dioxide for release during the day, unlike the traditional process of photosynthesis. This process reduces potential water loss for cacti.
Cacti are an ancient plant species which have been utilized for food and medicine by early natives such as the Native Americans and later by Hispanic pioneers to the Americas. Some cacti possess hallucinogenic properties, so it is important to identify cacti species correctly. The fruit and the seeds of cacti were eaten as food, in particular the species of Opuntia.
Some of the common cacti family members include:
desert Christmas cactus (Opuntia leptocaulis) – not to be confused with the Christmas cactus
agave cactus (Leuchtenbergia principis)
barrel cactus (Ferocactus echinocactus)
saguaro (Carnegia giganta)
rose cactus (Pereskia grandifolia)
ocotillo (Fouquiera splendens)
mistletoe cactus (Rhipsalis baccifera).
The cactus family is an ancient and fascinating group of plants which has evolved to survive the often harsh environment in which cacti grow. Many cacti species were taken back to Europe when explorers began 'discovering' the Americas and today cacti plants can be found in greenhouses and homes throughout Europe. However, cacti have the greatest chance of survival in their native surroundings and are a common sight across the deserts of the Americas.
In a phrase, the difference between succulents and cacti could be settled by the phrase, all cacti are succulents but not all succulents are cacti." First of all, the term succulent is not a botanical name.
It is just an umbrella term for all plants that share these characteristics: drought-tolerance, fleshy stems or leaves, and the ability to store water in their stems. Given this, the term succulent will encompass all plants and trees that have these characteristics, hence, including the cactus.
On the other hand, the name cactus/cacti is an official scientific name for plants belonging to the botanical family called Cactaceae.
There are two other defining characteristics that set cacti apart from succulents. Most succulents have fleshy leaves while cacti don't have leaves at all. Not having leaves makes them survive better in harsher areas because they have long stems where they could store more water.
Other than this, cacti have areoles or branch-like structures where their flowers bloom while succulents don't.
Indoor cacti are always a sight to behold. They are grown along the windowsills, placed in bedrooms or the bathroom to absorb carbon dioxide, purifying the air at night. Here's some indoor type of cactus that you can grow.
It is called as such because it blooms from November to January. It is a coastal cactus native to Brazil and it tends to grow wildly on top of big trees or rocks.
It grows beautiful pink, white, yellow or deep purple flowers throughout winter.
It is a whimsical cactus with stems that grow in various heights in one pot, resembling the towers of a castle. It is slow-growing and rarely produces flowers.
It can grow at a maximum height of 6ft.

Because of its clustered, concave stems, it is also called the sea urchin cactus or starfish cactus. It is a good indoor cactus because it does not really grow tall, only achieving a maximum height of 6inches. And its small, yellow flowers on top are real showstoppers.
It is named as such because it is barrel-shaped. It cannot grow very tall but it can grow very wide. It is also fondly called the mother-in-law cushion. It loves plenty of sun and infrequent watering.
It is recommended for beginners because it does not need frequent watering even on its first planting years. It is categorized as a powder puff cactus with white spines all the way down, hence, the name old lady.
This one is loved for its bright, red-orange, full-moon shaped bloom because it truly adds color to pale indoors. It is actually a hybrid from grafted cacti and is good for beginners. However, it has a relatively shorter lifespan than other cacti.
It is also called the gold lace cactus because of its tiny, golden yellow spines. It grows five tube-shaped stems in one pot, hence, the name lady finger. It only grows 6 inches tall and is topped with small, white flowers during spring.
This one is a relative of the poinsettia and botanically, it is more of a succulent than a cactus. While it has a ribbed, long and fleshy stem like cacti, it will grow maroon leaves on the top inch spikes along the stem. Skin contact with this one is said to cause redness and irritation.
It is also a small-growing cactus with a maximum height of 4 inches and a diameter of 6 inches. It is notable for its large, yellow bloom with dark yellow center during spring. Unlike other cacti, it requires more water and less sun.
Its extended stems are literally shaped like bunny ears, hence, the name. It is also called angel ears, by the way, and is a favorite of beginners. Instead of spines, it has small, red dots on it called glochids, which by the way, are as prickly as traditional cactus spines too.
It gets its name from the small, white 'feathers' covering the plant from top to bottom. The bristles may look soft and fluffy but they actually just cover the prickly spines of the plant so think twice before touching it.
This cactus can only be found in the Sonoran Desert stretching from Baja California to Mexico. It makes a good indoor plant because it only grows half an inch for its first 8 years of life. Expect it to live for more than 200 years just like the ancient Saguaros in Sonora.
It is a beautiful indoor cactus loved for its blue-green stems and contrasting soft-grey spikes. It is good for beginners and is best kept in a bright, cool space. Its spikes are a known skin irritant so stay away from it if you must.
Unlike most cacti, its stems are shaped like succulent leaves and bright colored, full-wide blooms of deep pink color and yellow-white center during early Spring in time for Easter. But even without the blooms, its deep-green, segmented stems are appalling on their own.
Imagine the segmented, concave cap of Roman Catholic bishops and that is exactly the shape of this cactus. It makes a great indoor plant because it is slow-growing and does not need much water. It will grow small, yellow flowers briefly in the spring.
It is native to Central Mexico where it wildly grows below bushes or in rocks. It is a fast-growing cactus known for producing small offsets around the mother plant. It has blue-green stems, reddish spikes, white bristles and yellow, white, pink/red flowers during spring.
It is a very rare cactus commercially sold as seed rather than plant. It has a sphere-shaped, blue-green body and golden yellow spines. It can grow offsets branching from the mother plant or just grow solitarily. It will bloom soft yellow flowers in the spring and summer.
They are either too prickly, very fast-growing or could grow very tall making them fit for outdoor cultivation. Outdoor cacti are often found in xeriscaping as they also produce bright-colored blooms that are definite showstoppers in any desert landscaping.
It is also known as the fishhook barrel cactus because of its barrel-shaped body and fishhook-like, long spines that cover the entire body. Its stem is segmented with thick, leathery ridges. It blooms cup-shaped flowers in the spring and yellow berries in the summer.

It is also called as the Dutchman's Pipe cactus because of its pipe-shaped stem. It is native to Brazil and usually grows in large trees. It is called such because it only blooms white flowers in the night.
It is known for its cylindrical shaped stems that could grow to up to 4ft. As it grows, it will branch out from 15 to 100 small stems sprouting from the main stem. It will bloom small pink flowers in the spring and sometimes during fall.
It is a cacti genus with various species including the famous Indian fig prickly pear and the beavertail prickly pear. Like the bunny ears, it has prickly glochids after shedding its spines. It will grow yellow, pink and purple flowers during spring or fall.

It is native to Eastern Mexico and it is called as such because of its silk-like coat of white hair covering the length of its stem. It takes 10-20 years before it could bloom its first flowers and when it does, it only blooms at night.
It will officially look like a barrel when it reaches its mature phase at 3ft tall and 3ft wide. It gets its name from its golden yellow needles which makes it very prickly because they grow in clusters along the ribs of the plant.
These cacti can thrive both in full sun and partial to full shade. Most of them are slow-growing, making them fit for both indoor or outdoor planting. These are the ones that could tolerate some frost and lower temperatures.
It is a slow-growing, low-lying cactus which got its name from its short, spiked stems which resemble hedgehogs. It grows in clumps with ten to sixty stems per clump. It will bloom bright pink flowers in the spring.
It looks like clustered corals complete with a rounded stem but with sharp spines running along the stem. It needs a lot of sun but not so much water. It blooms orange or green flowers in spring or fall. It has more than 20 species.
This one is known for its extreme longevity albeit its short height. It gets its name because it is a creeper and forms beehive-like colonies. It is often confused with Coryphantha robusta but its small, exotic looking, purple or magenta flowers make the distinction.
Cactus info does not stop here and there are some FAQs that need to be answered to settle everything out and finally be in your way to planting one.
For example, you still need to know some light and temperature considerations for cacti species. Do they survive in the cold? Can they tolerate shade? What do they symbolically stand for? If you are in for these, read these FAQs.
As have been mentioned briefly when we introduced what a cactus is, the cactus is a plant but it is not a tree. Of course, it is a plant because it is botanically acknowledged as one.
Scientifically, it belongs to the plant family called Cactaceae. However, it is not a tree although it can grow as tall as one. It has no woody stems like the tree, it does not have a bulky foliage, let alone solitary leaves, like trees and it definitely does not have woody branches like trees.
Universally, the cactus is symbolically recognized as a representation of endurance and grace because it could thrive and bloom in the harshest environments. Aside from this, it also stands for adaptability because it could survive well even when it is suddenly in new environments.
It also remains unfazed and still blooms flowers in stressful living conditions. While it has ribbed, hard exterior, its stems store water inside which practically makes it soft inside. Thus, the cactus also stands for inner beauty and innocence.
There are some cacti variants that could tolerate low light but most do not fare well if they do not get more than four hours of bright light. This is the reason why cacti are often kept in indoor spaces where they could get full light, both natural and artificial.
Generally, cacti get sickly when they are kept in the shade. Hence, during winter, cacti are transferred indoors where they must get 10-14 hours of indirect artificial light. However, there are still specific species that could tolerate the shade.
Most often than not, cacti that could grow in partial to full shade are also considered as cold-hardy cacti.
We have well-established that cacti are not the same. We may have known them for being just sun-loving plants but take not that there are a lot of winter-hardy species.
As a matter of fact, cold-hardy cacti can tolerate a temperature of up to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Non-cold hardy cacti cannot tolerate anything below the freezing point.
Nonetheless, you have to understand that while cold-hardy cacti could survive negative temperatures, too much frost or being exposed to ice could still have a negative effect on their growth in the long run. Some of its effects would be stunted growth or not being able to bloom flowers in a while.
There are a lot of things to know about the cactus, that is for sure. But have a knowledge of one does not mean a full-knowledge of all because as we have established, not all cacti are alike.
Some have peculiar growing requirements, some strikingly do not love much sun, some can tolerate the shade and thrive in the winter frost but some will die when temperatures drop at 15 degrees. It is very important to know the types of cactus because while it is highly adaptive, your location might not be cut up for some cactus species.
Other than that, some cacti may cause skin irritation and others. And if you are very specific about the blooms, all the more that you need to know the types of cactus. With all of these, I think we could all concede that cactus love is here to stay.

Die 268 Qualifikationsspiele für die Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2016 fanden zwischen dem 7. September 2014 und dem 17. November 2015 statt.
53 von 54 Mitgliedsverbänden der UEFA spielten die 23 freien Startplätze für die Endrunde der EM 2016 untereinander aus. Gibraltar nahm als jüngstes UEFA-Mitglied erstmals an der Qualifikation teil. Frankreich war als Gastgeberland gesetzt und vervollständigte das Feld der 24 Endrundenteilnehmer.

Qualifikationsmodus
Die Qualifikationsgruppen wurden am Sonntag, 23. Februar 2014 um 12:00 Uhr MEZ im Palais des Congrès in Nizza ausgelost. Die 53 beteiligten Mannschaften wurden in neun Gruppen eingeteilt: acht Gruppen mit jeweils sechs Mannschaften und eine Gruppe mit fünf Mannschaften. Jedes Team einer Gruppe trug je ein Heim- sowie ein Auswärtsspiel gegen jede andere Mannschaft der jeweiligen Gruppe aus. Die zwei besten Mannschaften jeder Gruppe und der punktbeste Dritte qualifizierten sich direkt für das Endrundenturnier. Bei dem Vergleich der Gruppendritten wurden die Resultate der Partien gegen den Gruppenletzten in den Sechsergruppen nicht berücksichtigt.

Wenn zwei oder mehr Mannschaften nach diesen Spielen punktgleich waren, wurde nach folgenden Kriterien entschieden:

 direkter Vergleich (Anzahl der Punkte, Tordifferenz, erzielte Tore, erzielte Auswärtstore)
 Wiederholung des direkten Vergleichs unter den verbliebenen Mannschaften
 Ergebnisse aus allen Gruppenspielen (Tordifferenz, erzielte Tore, erzielte Auswärtstore)
 Fair-Play-Wertung
 UEFA-Koeffizient für Nationalmannschaften

Die acht verbleibenden Gruppendritten ermittelten in Entscheidungsspielen mit Hin- und Rückspiel (12.–14. November 2015 bzw. 15.–17. November 2015) die restlichen vier Endrundenteilnehmer.

Bei Torgleichheit nach Hin- und Rückspiel entschied zuerst die Anzahl der auswärts erzielten Tore, bei Gleichheit gab es eine Verlängerung. Hatten beide Mannschaften auch nach der Verlängerung gleich viele Tore und gleich viele Auswärtstore erzielt, wurde der Endrundenteilnehmer durch Elfmeterschießen ermittelt.

Setzliste
Nach Abschluss der Qualifikationsspiele für die WM 2014 ergab sich anhand des UEFA-Koeffizienten für Nationalmannschaften (Angabe hinter den Mannschaftsnamen) folgende Setzliste für die Gruppeneinteilung der Qualifikationsphase:

Spieltage
Der Spielplan sah für die Qualifikationsspiele das Konzept der englischen Woche vor: Ein Spieltag zog sich über den Zeitraum von drei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen. Bei sog. Doppelspieltagen (Spieltage 2 und 3, 7 und 8, 9 und 10 sowie die Play-Off-Spiele) fanden die Spiele von Donnerstag bis Dienstag statt. An den Doppelspieltagen wurden jeweils zwei Spiele bestritten, so spielte jede Mannschaft entweder am Donnerstag und Sonntag oder am Freitag und Montag oder am Samstag und Dienstag. Die Spieltage wurden wie folgt von der UEFA festgesetzt:

Anstoßzeit war samstags und sonntags um 18:00 ME(S)Z und 20:45 ME(S)Z sowie an den anderen Wochentagen hauptsächlich um 20:45 ME(S)Z, einzelne Spiele jedoch ebenfalls um 18:00 ME(S)Z.

TV-Übertragung
In Deutschland wurden die Qualifikationspartien der deutschen Nationalmannschaft erstmals vom privaten TV-Sender RTL Television übertragen. Medienberichten zufolge bot der Sender mit 100 Mio. Euro mehr als die öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender ARD und ZDF, die sonst meist den Zuschlag erhielten und die auch weiterhin die Spiele der EM-Endrunde übertragen werden. Einzelne Partien ohne deutsche Beteiligung übertrug der Spartensender RTL Nitro.

In Österreich wurden sämtliche Partien Österreichs auf dem Sender ORF eins übertragen.

Participants will pass the magic "llama" power around the circle and have tons of fun while doing it!
The first component of Llama Llama is the beat. Instruct the group to make the beat by alternating between slapping their thighs once and clapping their hands once in unison. This can be done as fast or as slow as the leader dictates.
Llama Llama works like a game of catch with no ball. To pass the 'llama', you make a llama with your arm by bending your elbow up and using your hand to create the head of the llama using your fingers and thumb. The "llama" is passed by saying "llama llama" with your hand llama repeatedly opening its mouth towards you and then repeating "llama llama" with your hand llama opening its mouth towards your intended target. This is all done on the beat.
Once someone receives the llama, they use the same method to pass it to someone else.
The people on either side of the person receiving the llama must "boom-chicka" towards the person who received the llama until that person has passed the llama. This is done by holding up your fists close to your chest with your elbows out wide and pumping your fists back and forth as if dancing to your favorite jam.
Instruct the participants that to start the activity they must repeat after the leader for the first two lines of a chant. The leader then starts the activity by saying (on beat) "Who's got the Llama, (pause for repeat), I've got the Llama! (pause for repeat)" The leader then passes the llama as instructed above.
You can play until there are 2 participants left.
Have eliminated players attempt to distract the players still playing.
Change the speed of the activity often. Sometimes going extremely slow can be just as difficult as going super fast.


In early 2016, the Town of Dedham joined 22 other communities to launch a community electricity aggregation (CEA) program designed to provide residents and businesses with competitive choice, long-term price stability, and reduced electricity rates. Also known as municipal electricity aggregation, the program relies on bulk-purchasing methods that generate economies of scale, resulting in reduced electricity supply costs for participating Eversource account holders.
The electric rate is fixed at 10.580 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) from September 2018* to January 2021. This rate includes an additional 5% local renewable energy in the form of MA Class I RECs supplied by the Mass Energy Consumer's Alliance.
In addition, ratepayers have the option either to increase their local renewable energy percentage to an additional 100 percent for a rate of 13.430 cents per kWh, or drop down to the minimum state requirement with no additional local renewable energy for a rate of 10.430 cents per kWh.
"Dedham Basic" contact Public Power, LLC at 800- 830-2944, or by email at customercare@ppandu.com. Please see rates below.
Only the supply portion of your Eversource bill will be impacted. Eversource will continue to deliver your power as it has done in the past, but Public Power, LLC will be indicated as the supplier of record on the supply portion of your Eversource bill beginning in January 2018. There will be no change in the level of service you receive from Eversource as a result of participating in the Dedham program.
Enrollment occurs automatically. Eversource account holders that are not currently participating will receive an opt-out letter detailing the program and providing answers to most commonly asked questions. This letter will also provide simple instructions on how to opt out (not participate) of the program.
For those moving to or within Dedham, you may proactively contact the program supplier, Public Power, LLC, to re-enroll/enroll your new account in the aggregation program at the original rate for the duration of the term, ending January 2021. If you do not proactively contact Public Power, you will receive an opt-out notification letter detailing the program. Simply disregard the opt-out notification letter if you wish to participate in the program. Please note that your first month of service will default to Eversource Basic Service supply, but will then transition to the Dedham program on your next available billing cycle.
Please note: account holders currently on with a third party supplier should review the terms & conditions of their existing supply contract for any early termination fees associated with ending their existing supply contract prior to opting into the Dedham program.
Participants will continue to receive a single bill from Eversource.
There will be no change in the level of service you receive from Eversource. If you experience an outage or other service issues, please contact Eversource at (800) 592-2000.
No action is required in order to continue to participate in Eversource's Budget Billing program.

Shinesty Slashes Customer Contacts and Response Time
"Last year we built a whole training module around bringing in seasonal help, but when it came time to hire new people in Q4 we didn't need to—which was incredible because we've been growing 50% year over year."
Antonio King, Director of Experience
Solvvy Impact
average deflection in monthly support tickets
decrease in first reply time
Can handle seasonal traffic without adding agents
Shinesty Case Study
Shinesty makes and sells fun, customizable garments that range from a little wacky to truly wild, shipping all over the country and the world from its online store. Based in Colorado, the company's founder, Chris White, originally started the site to sell the outlandish vintage pieces he'd collected from thrift stores to college students while he was finishing his own MBA. The shop did so well that White began making custom apparel. In 2014 his "ugly Christmas sweater" patterned suits went viral after a plug on The Today Show,and Shinesty really began to grow.
The company has since expanded its catalog to include a wide range of event and holiday themed apparel and accessories for both men and women, from day-glow skiwear and NFL themed suits to faux denim speedos and animal print bikinis. With new designs and garments always being cooked up in the MadLab, Shinesty is on a mission to destroy "smile-stealing," boring clothing, and make the world take itself less seriously, one outfit at a time.
As a purely online business, Shinesty's focus is on creating a great customer experience (CX) and reducing customer effort through fast, easy digital support. This is especially important during the busy holiday season, when most of its annual sales take place. With a year over year growth rate of 50%, Shinesty's seasonal overhead was growing, too. Shinesty wanted to handle the seasonal spike from September to February without breaking its budget while maintaining its strong reputation as a leading brand that cares about its shoppers.
Shinesty enlisted Solvvy to transform its customer support experience:
Driving tier one issues through self-service
Significantly reducing one-touch issues becoming tickets
Achieving lowest-ever customer effort score
Identifying new areas to apply self-service
Shinesty sells apparel and accessories through an online store on its website, where all customer support is also done. This includes processing returns and exchanges, which are crucial (and common) for any online clothing company. Shinesty's exponential growth coupled with the seasonal nature of retail makes the fourth quarter of each year extremely demanding. And the team recently added a monthly subscription program for boxer shorts that grew far beyond its expectations—gaining close to 20,000 subscribers in the first year.
To handle its biggest challenge, Shinesty had a training module structured around bringing in new agents to manage holiday traffic. But inexperienced seasonal employees can slow things down at a time when customers want everything rushed. The company needed a way to reduce seasonal overhead and speed up order management by driving more contacts through self-service channels, freeing up its agents to handle more complex issues. Shinesty was already using AnswerDash to solve issues before they went to agents, but was frustrated by the company's inability to report on the kind or number of queries it was deflecting and whether or not Help Center visitors converted after having their questions answered. It was time for a better solution.
The Solvvy Solution
After running a four-week trial to see if Solvvy could out-perform AnswerDash, Shinesty chose Solvvy to implement a more robust self-service solution on its Help Center webpage that would drive more contacts to the available resources. The goal was to increase self-service rates and accuracy enough to enable Shinesty to get through the busy holiday season with the agents it already had, who had the added benefit of knowing which tickets to prioritize, how to make changes quickly, and which customers needed a little extra help.
Solvvy sits on the Shinesty support page, enabling users to ask questions in both the FAQ field and email form in their own words and receive precise, accurate answers. Providing instant answers to FAQs deflects the majority of Shinesty's simple contacts. For customers who prefer to email, Solvvy helps direct the email to the right agent for a faster response, and in some cases can provide the answer up front so they don't need to send an email at all. Solvvy combines machine learning algorithms and natural language processing technologies to understand what customers are asking and extract relevant information from the Shinesty knowledge base. This not only answers queries but also reduces order abandonment and improves customer satisfaction, which makes them more likely to buy again.
Results and What's Next
Since implementing Solvvy in April of 2017, Shinesty has reduced its weekly contact-to-order rate from 19% to just 9%. The raw number of contacts has also dropped by comparison, while its orders have grown—in November 2016, 4,500 customers contacted Shinesty compared with 2,800 in November 2017, despite 50% higher sales. The company has also been able to speed up its response time significantly, from around 12.5 hours for a first reply down to just half an hour. And at the end of the first year, the company decided it could handle its biggest sales season yet with just its full-time support staff, aided by its new self-service abilities.
Solvvy reduced contacts per months by up to 56% over AnswerDash
Solvvy reduced first reply time by up to 96% over AnswerDash
Average response time with AnswerDash: 12.15 hours
Average response time with Solvvy: 0.5 hours
Solvvy reduced the contact per order rate by up to 59% over AnswerDash
"We didn't realize how effective Solvvy would be in showing us other areas where we could improve," says King. "That's an underlying bonus you can't see until you use it. Solvvy allows us to learn from and build around the solution as we grow with it."
According to Antonio King, Director of Experience at Shinesty, "Solvvy allows us to give people their time back. They don't have to go searching for answers, and they don't have to reach unless they need to. Now we bring the content they need to them." With Solvvy resolving the easier queries, Shinesty's agents are able to focus on the tier two and three customer issues that really require a human touch. This has also helped shed light on what those issues are, which is helping the company improve its processes and reduce higher level contacts, too. "We didn't realize how effective Solvvy would be in showing us other areas where we could improve," says King. "That's an underlying bonus you can't see until you use it. Solvvy allows us to learn from and build around the solution as we grow with it." As an added bonus, Solvvy's Zendesk integration makes it that much easier to use—incorporating all logins into a simple solution has helped Shinesty validate its technology investment.
As a digital CX leader, Shinesty is always looking for new ways to reduce customer effort. Now the busy holiday season is an opportunity to expand sales without expanding its support team overhead, and turn holiday shoppers into lifelong customers. And that's something to celebrate.

Novartis meeting, prior to CAR-T approval, leaves cancer patient concerned about pricing
by Arlene Weintraub |
Aug 30, 2017 9:00am
Just how expensive will Novartis' CAR-T cancer treatment be? One patient is demanding restraint.
David Mitchell was pleasantly surprised when Novartis' oncology chief, Bill Hinshaw, accepted his request for a meeting to discuss what a fair price might be for tisagenlecleucel (CTL019), its upcoming CAR-T leukemia treatment that's made from the immune cells of individual patients.
Mitchell, who is battling multiple myeloma, believes CAR-T is a genuine breakthrough, but he wanted to urge Novartis executives to consider the fact that taxpayers invested hundreds of millions of dollars in CAR-T before Novartis jumped in to commercialize it.
But after visiting Novartis Tuesday—just hours before the FDA's surprising early approval of tisagenlecleucel—Mitchell walked away disappointed.
Founder of the advocacy group Patients for Affordable Drugs, Mitchell went to the Swiss drugmaker's New Jersey offices with his organization's executive director, Ben Wakana, and a representative from the Boston-based Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER). Another cancer patient joined by phone. After an hour-long discussion with Hinshaw and four other Novartis executives, Mitchell said the company blamed the healthcare system for patients' rising drug bills.

"Novartis politely explained that drug prices are 'complex,' and patient harm from high prices is the fault of the overall health care system, not drug prices." Mitchell told Fierce.
A spokeswoman for Novartis said the company shares Mitchell's approach to responsible pricing. "We have carefully considered the appropriate price for CTL019, based on the potential value that this treatment represents for patients and the healthcare system, as well as input from external health economic experts."
After the treatment was approved, the company announced its price would be $475,000. Novartis is also planning a performance-based arrangement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and a patient-access program for those who can't get insurance coverage.
Mitchell said Wednesday that he was planning to reach out to Gilead Sciences, which jumped into the CAR-T race when it agreed to buy Kite for $11.9 billion earlier this week. Ultimately, he plans to engage in discussions with Juno Therapeutics, too, which is in late-stage testing of its own CAR-T technology. "We're focusing on Novartis because it's first, therefore the pricing decision is imminent," Mitchell says.
RELATED: Novartis CEO opens door to cancer patient demanding 'fair' CAR-T pricing
Mitchell's campaign for fair pricing of tisagenlecleucel started on Aug. 17, when he sent a letter to Novartis outlining his group's findings that taxpayers laid out $200 million starting in 1993 to fund research performed by Novartis' CAR-T development partner, the University of Pennsylvania, as well as the National Cancer Institute and about 60 other academic research sites and biotech companies.
In addition to reaching out directly to Novartis, his group planned to place ads on cancer websites, and it sent an e-mail blast to 15,000 people—3,455 of whom signed a petition demanding that Novartis set the prices of its cancer drugs fairly. Mitchell brought that petition with him to the company.
RELATED: CAR-T drugs worth up to $649K in childhood leukemia, says U.K. report
The $475,000 price may be viewed by some as conservative, considering that R&D chief Vas Narasimhan did refer recently to stem cell transplants as a model. Those procedures can cost up to $800,000. The Novartis spokeswoman notes that advancing the CAR-T product to market required "substantial, ongoing investment" in clinical trials, as well as "a sophisticated manufacturing site and process for this personalized therapy."
Gilead is also staying mum on its pricing plans for Kite's lead CAR-T treatment Axi-Cel, which is expected be approved to treat aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the end of November. During a conference call after the announcement of the acquisition, Gilead COO Kevin Young declined to answer questions about expected pricing, saying only that the company expects "healthy reimbursement" talks with insurers.
Analysts who cover Gilead have put out estimates ranging from $400,000 to $750,000 per patient for Kite's treatment.
RELATED: How will Gilead price CAR-T? With Kite buy, the top biotech joins Novartis in spotlight
Mitchell says he's concerned about Gilead's pricing plans because of Sovaldi, its curative hepatitis C treatment, which hit the market at $84,000, only to be met with extreme pushback from pharmacy benefits managers and other payers. "In light of Gilead's behavior with its hepatitis C drugs, we will definitely reach out to them" on CAR-T, Mitchell says. "An appropriate price should be set in light of taxpayers' investments."
As for Novartis' $475,000 price tag, Mitchell isn't satisfied. "While Novartis' decision to set a price at $475,000 per treatment may be seen by some as restraint, we believe it is excessive," he said in an e-mailed statement after the approval.
Mitchell himself is not eligible for CAR-T—the technology has not yet advanced for multiple myeloma—but he's thrilled to be part of the discussion about how the engineered cells should be priced. In fact, after Novartis opened its doors to him, he got a second invitation from the organizers of next week's CAR-TCR Summit in Boston, a who's who of scientists and executives working in the field of cell therapies for cancer. The conference added Mitchell as a speaker.
"Maybe nobody will come to my talk," he says, "but the fact that they put me on the program at the last second is an indication that attention is being paid to the matter of pricing."

Did not on this shore rise"
I meant to talk about this a few days ago but I got caught up in a bit of harmless frivolity. It's sorta a little button I press every now and then to release a bit of steam, build up of the stress and pressures associated with the realization of a life well wasted. But it's all good. The letting go has happened, the past is still haunting but in it's rightful place behind me, and my STEPS are drawing me closer to the place I NEED to be. It's nearly 'SONG' time and the big exposure will begin.
James Dillet Freeman (1912 - 2003) is my favorite writer. His poems are just something else. Hauntingly passionate, deep, meaningful verse on subjects that matter to us as we proceed down our life's path.
His poem "I Am There" is his most famous work, and it deserves to be. He has many other famous poems. My favorite is the poem I gave you all a few days ago "Following My Heart". It talks of the unused talent in us all and he says "Something affirms that I am meant for more, and so I have to see if somehow I can fly" and "Whatever now I seem to be, yet more is to be found in me". That verse very simply summarizes the Journey that I am on.
Of course James has many other famous poems. His poem 'The Traveller" has been recited at more than a million funerals. Tomorrow I will explain the significance of the verse and share the poem with you.
James also has the distinction of being the only writer in history to have two of his famous works taken to the moon (on microfilm). Buzz Aldrin took James 'Prayer Of Protection' to the moon on the historic moon walk flight, and Colonel B. Irwin took the 1947 poem "I Am There" to the moon on Apollo 15. He left a copy on the moon's surface. How cooool an honor is that, huh?


On August 22 the band 5 Seconds of Summer paid a visit to Klipsch Music Center, and I had the privilege of being able to attend such a fun and entertaining concert.
The concert began after the less-than-impressive opening act, Hey Violet. While I was dissatisfied with the opening act, having mediocre vocals and lyrics, the rest of the concert was stellar.
5 Seconds of Summer opened with their song "End Up Here." I thought the song was a great choice to open their performance, it was very fun and upbeat and I was impressed.
This concert had the best atmosphere, there was not only chemistry between the band members, but also between the band and the crowd. It was clear that the band loved being on stage and they were glad to be there performing. They also thanked the crowd multiple times for having them and I thought it was pretty neat that they were so grateful to have been performing for us.
The most impressive part of the concert, by far, was their performance of the song "Wrapped Around Your Finger." The vocals of Michael Clifford, guitarist, were spectacular and sounded as if he were recorded in a professional studio. The song was also just awe inspiring and the emotion put into it was astounding.
The only part about the concert I was not pleased with was their decision not to sing "If You Don't Know," a fan favorite. The setlist was pretty good, but there were definitely some songs I wish would have been there that were not. Some of them include the first song of theirs I ever listened to, "Heartbreak Girl," which was replaced by their new single "She's Kinda Hot." I was also sad to find that their song "Never Be," which is my favorite of all of the 5 Seconds of Summer songs, was missing.
When I can walk out of a concert and hear a large group of complete strangers singing one of the band's songs together, I know it was a good concert.

The City of Hartford City leased the facility to Arts Place, Inc. in late 2011, the facility being dedicated as an arts center in January of 2013. Over $100,000 was raised from private and local governmental sources to renovate the facility. The impact of this funding was greatly extended by the nearly 1,000 hours of volunteer time dedicated to the renovation. In January 2015 city government transferred ownership to Arts Place of the center along with the next door property at 111 West Washington Street.
Tuesday: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Thursday: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

Opened in 2005, this location serves as a home for the arts in the Auglaize/Mercer County area. While the location of the Auglaize/Mercer Center has changed three times since its original dedication, the center has always been located in the historic district of downtown St. Marys. In 2015 the City of St. Marys purchased the former Party Shoppe and entered into a multi-year lease with Arts Place. Our new center was dedicated in January 2016 after a considerable investment of improvements accomplished through private and local governmental support along with tremendous volunteer efforts. The center houses a gallery and studio space for visual and performing arts instruction.

When selecting a power strip for your server rack, it's best to take a little extra time to consider the circuit requirements for your equipment and the type of receptacle you may need. In large orders it's a common oversight to purchase a 15 Amp power strip as opposed to the necessary 20 Amp.
15AMP receptacles are of your standard household wiring, where as the 20 amp is a bit different.
These high current receptacles include a horizontal slot connected to one of the vertical slots on the outlet (as seen in the video). The 20 AMP power strip can support both 20 and 15AMP devices, however the 15 amp power strip will not support a 20 amp device.
Next time you're ordering power strips take a minute to check the amps needed for your equipment or talk to a Rackmount Solutions account manager before purchasing.

«Гости» () — чехословацкий 15-серийный научно-фантастический телесериал 1983 года. Премьера состоялась в субботу 5 ноября 1983 года, производитель — Чехословацкое телевидение совместно с немецкими телерадиокомпаниями Westdeutscher Rundfunk и Bayerischer Rundfunk.

Сюжет
Действие разворачивается в 2484 году, когда на Земле установились мир и любовь и прекратились все войны. Однако мирному человечеству приходит ужасная новость: суперкомпьютер под названием Центральный Мозг Человечества (ЦМГ), управляющий действиями Земли, сообщает, что через 177 дней с планетой столкнётся комета, которая собьёт Землю с орбиты, и подавляющая часть планеты станет непригодной для жизни. Предотвратить столкновение является невозможным.

Академик Филип (в поздней версии — Рихард) предлагает вариант спасения человечества. Филип считал своим кумиром математика XX и XXI веков Адама Бернау, лауреата Нобелевской премии, который в своих мемуарах писал, что в возрасте 11 лет, учась в пятом классе, нашёл математическую формулу, которая позволяет легко перемещать целые континенты и планеты во Вселенной. Однако в 1984 году в Каменице случился пожар в их семейном доме, и книга с формулой сгорела, а Адам больше не восстанавливал формулы. Хотя человечество не научилось перемещать планеты в XXV веке, оно уже освоило технологию путешествий во времени, которые разрешаются только в крайних случаях. Экспедиция отправляется в прошлое для получения рабочей книги.

В экспедицию отправляются академик Филип, техник Лео Кейн, врач-эпидемиолог Жак Мишель и историк-журналистка Эмилия Фернандес. Группа прибывает в 1984 год в рамках экспедиции «Адам 84 — Экспедиция надежды»: по легенде, они являются геодезистами, которые прокладывают дорогу вокруг Каменице. Однако экспедиция идёт не по плану: из-за ошибки компьютера они приземляются совсем в другом месте, пожарная форма оказывается непригодной, к тому же собственно академик бросает тетрадь в пламя после того, как находит только действия вместо вычислений на первой странице. Экспедиция затягивается намного дольше: путаницы, находки и странное для местных поведение героев оказывают невероятное влияние на городские события, хотя вмешательства в прошлое недопустимы.

Попытки поиска и второй тетради заканчиваются неудачей: будущий математик Бернау оказывается обычным, непослушным мальчиком с такими знаниями, которые, по мнению его отца, не помогут ему стать даже землекопом, поскольку он пишет только формулы с непонятными каракулями, которые непонятны даже учителям. Исключение составляют разве что высшая математика и разговоры с господином Дрхликом — бывшим мастером-строителем, которого Адам называл своим великим учителем, с особым взглядом на мир. У Дрхлика вскоре пропадают деньги — банкноты образца 1884 года, и экспедиция, несмотря на возможность компьютера отправить ему новые деньги, решает, что компьютер свихнулся окончательно и нет смысла искать третью тетрадь, а нужно просто встретить собственную судьбу. Они понимают, что Бернау мог просто нафантазировать всё это, и берут в будущее Дрхлика, который единственный из жителей города догадался, что это — гости из будущего. Экспедиция возвращается в XXV век со множеством экспонатов.

В решающий момент Дрхлик обнаруживает, что компьютер работает неправильно, и решает исправить положение с помощью всего одной деревяшки — только после этого компьютер сообщает, что в вычислениях была ошибка и что никакого столкновения кометы с Землёй не случится.

В ролях

Серии

Съёмки
 В 1977 году Ота Хофмна и Йиндржих Полак написали рассказ об Адаме Бернау, начав экранизацию этого рассказа в 1980 году на киностудии Баррандов.
 Художником по костюмам был Теодор Пиштек, будущий обладатель премии «Оскар»; художником декораций был Збинек Глох, а за редактирование снимок и фотомонтаж отвечал Ян Шванкмайер.
 В 1984 году на пластинке LP Supraphon 1113 3473H вышел саундтрек к фильму авторства Карела Свободы. На пластинке также был саундтрек к фильму «Летающий Честмир», к которому также писал музыку Свобода. Саундтрек переиздан на CD компанией Czechoslovak Universal в 2004 году.
 В 1986 году вышла новая семисерийная версия, в которой первые три серии объединили в одну, а последующие объединяли блоками по две. В немецком дубляже были заменены имена у некоторых героев. 15-серийная версия, в которой главного героя зовут академик Рихард, вышла в 2000 году на Чешском телевидении; 7-серийная выходила в 1990-е годы.
 Вдова профессора Яна Филипа подавала в суд на авторов сериала за то, что те якобы использовали фамилию мужа с целью кого-то оскорбить. Именно по этой причине был проведён повторный дубляж, где героя назвали Рихардом.
 На роль доктора Мишеля пробовался Яромир Ганзлик, на роль родителей Бернау — Павел Зедничек и Дагмар Вешкрнова, на роль Эмилии Фернандес — Зора Яндова (сыграла эпизодическую роль медсестры в больнице).
 Съёмки фильма проходили в городе Пелгржимов с 22 июня 1981 года в течение 8 последующих недель. Аттракционы работали бесплатно для местных жителей, поскольку расходы брала на себя съёмочная группа. Специально были разработаны номерные знаки KC для вымышленного города Каменице.
 Пруд Бейшовец, который «испарился» благодаря действиям Гостей и потом появился с помощью Адама — Панский пруд около деревни Невеклов. Съёмка наводнения велась с помощью семи камер в искусственном русле реки в Брандисе-над-Лабем, где обычно тренировались гребцы на байдарках и каноэ. На съёмках чуть не травмировалась Хелена Рожичкова, когда на неё чуть не упала конструкция гаража.
 Для съёмок сгорающего дома семьи Бернау группа арендовала в Брно-Жиденицах дом №4 по улице Брафовой и в течение трёх недель вела съёмки пожаров. В наши дни на том месте находится перекрёсток улиц Жабовржеской и Хоровой, а дом, где жила семья Лабус, сохранился и в наши дни (дом № 9 по улице Брафовой).
 В сериале задействованы 85 персонажей, 1856 эпизодов, 4357 актёров массовки, 72 внешних мотива, 16 декораций в реальном времени и 28 в студиях, 540 специальных снимков. Съёмки шли три года, 7,5 часов было затрачено на редактирование фильма, отснято 12,5 км плёнки.
 В последнем эпизоде была снята с четырёх камер и только с третьего дубля сцена падения и взрыва цистерны: для съёмок применялась цистерна Tatra 148. На первом дубле она не перевернулась и спокойно проехала, а на втором дубле чуть не попала в оператора.
 Автомобиль «Нива», который был транспортным средством главных героев, был доставлен в двух экземплярах от немецких сопродюсеров съёмочной группе, третий попал на киностудию Баррандов. Однако покупать топливо иностранцы могли только с использованием ваучеров в магазинах Tuzex. Немцы выделили 6 тысяч немецких марок съёмочной группе, что потом отметила группа.
 В Национальном киноархиве Чехии хранятся два сценария 1981 года «Гости — Экспедиция Адам 84» и «Гости — Назад в будущее», а также 13 технических сценариев с марта 1981 года. Изначально планировалось включить всего 13 эпизодов, а не 15.
 Фильм вышел в прокат в Венгрии, Югославии, Польше, Румынии, Болгарии и Испании.

If you click the button "Glass Statics" on the main menu of the structural analysis module you will be forwarded to the input form of the corresponding function. After having determined the glass pane's position on the building the program already displays the corresponding wind pressure and wind suction loads. Then enter the pane dimensions and select glass type, pane thickness and spacer gap if applicable. Under the paragraph "Calculation" on the right hand side of this form you are able to check if your glass configuration keeps your self-defined limit values. Examples of different glass configurations are displayed below.
There is no deflection limit for vertical glazing specified in the Technical Regulations for the Use of Glazing with Linear Supports (TRLV). Only stress limits are available. However, it is required to consider climatic actions on insulated glass units which may represent a multiple of the wind actions.
Deflection is the decisive design parameter in most practical cases. However, LogiKal®does not suggest any standard deflection limits for the glass field. Each user may set-up common limit values like for instance 8mm or L/300, but in particular cases it is absolutely essential to enquire specific values from the glass manufacturer.
Example: A glass pane 1000x1000mm has a maximum permissible deflection of 1000/300 = 3,3mm. A current deflection of e.g. 3,63mm already exceeds the limit value by 10 percent even though the value of 8mm is only utilised by 45 percent. Therefore please check if both limit values must be kept or if e.g. 8mm are sufficient. In this case you may reset Maximum Deflection / Length Glass Edge to Unlimited.
Besides the applied proof is a so called proof of serviceability. I.e. keeping the limit values provides that the calculated glass pane is fully functional in matters of impermeability and resistance. This means in practice that the maximum load bearing capacity is usually not reached by far even though the serviceability is no longer proven.
If the structural analysis module reports a glass excess deflection you cannot always conclude that the glass mustn't be applied that way. However, you should definitely consult your glass manufacturer in such a case.
In the glass input form LogiKal® displays directly which glass panes keep or don't keep the limit values. However it is essential that glass types are assigned to the selected glass.
The following two pictures show where to determine the glass types for an insulated glass unit ("User Database" -> "Fillings" -> "Glass Units") and project glass.
It is usually easier to enter a glass in the independent statics module and to configure a structurally sufficient glass (glass type, thickness, spacer gap) there. Then you can either input this glass as glass unit or single glass in the "User Database" or enter it as project glass during input of elements.

Muzeum Łodzi Wikingów w Roskilde (Vikingeskibsmuseet i Roskilde) – duńskie muzeum jednostek pływających oraz podróży morskich z okresu starożytności i średniowiecza mieszczące się w Roskilde pod Kopenhagą.

Historia
Muzeum powstało w celu ekspozycji 5 łodzi wydobytych z dna zatoki 15 km od brzegów Roskilde – dawnej stolicy Królestwa Danii, gdzie zostały zatopione, aby bronić dostępu do portu nieprzyjacielskim siłom. Dzisiejsza ekspozycja jest efektem 25-letniej pracy nad wydobytymi fragmentami łodzi. W roku 1997 podczas budowy portu na terenie muzeum odkryto kolejne 9 łodzi – obecnie trwają prace renowacyjne, w celu udostępnienia ich publiczności.

Atrakcje turystyczne

Muzeum oferuje zwiedzającym wiele atrakcji:
 ekspozycja 5 łodzi, w tym:
 Skuldelev 1 – duży oceaniczny statek towarowy o 16 metrach długości i 4,8 metra szerokości zachowany w około 60 procentach. Zbudowany z sosnowych desek w Sognefjorden około 1030 roku. W latach 60. XI wieku przeszedł remont z użyciem drewna dębowego i lipowego. Załoga statku liczyła 6-8 osób.
 Skuldelev 5 – langskip bojowy o 17 metrach długości i mogący pomieścić około 30 wojowników.
 zwiedzanie z przewodnikiem wliczone jest w cenę biletu (angielski)
 projekcja filmu opisującego historię i kulturę wikingów (angielski, francuski, hiszpański, niemiecki)
 przystań, w której cumują zrekonstruowane historyczne łodzie
 warsztat archeologiczny, w którym można podpatrzeć tradycyjne metody budowy okrętów
 warsztat historyczny, gdzie goście samodzielnie mogą wykonać drewniane tarcze, korale z paciorków
 mini-lekcje strzelania z łuku
 w Sali Łodzi najmłodsi mogą wcielić się w postacie z epoki, przywdziewając dawne stroje oraz wchodząc na pokład odtworzonych replik łodzi
 przejażdżki łodzią wikingów po zatoce uzależnione są od zebrania wystarczającej ilości chętnych

Współpraca

Współpracuje z innymi duńskimi muzeami przy znaleziskach okrętowych oraz przy innych marynistycznych znaleziskach znajdujących się na wybrzeżu jak i w pracach prowadzonych na dużych głębokościach wód.

Solent LEP launches Strategic Transport Investment Plan for the Area
The Solent Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) today (10 May) met with Solent MPs at Westminster, where details of a Strategic Transport Investment Plan for the Solent were revealed.
In January 2015 the Solent LEP published their Transforming Solent Growth Strategy which outlines a vision for the future growth of the local economy. Having successfully secured £151.9 m under the Solent Growth Deal the LEP has continued to work hard to help this world-class area to realise its ambitions.. Central to this vision for the Solent is the need for a modern and resilient transport network that can enable the area to fulfil its economic potential by providing the conditions that enable businesses and people to thrive and productivity to increase.
The Solent LEP recognises that it cannot afford to ignore the critical role that transport infrastructure and operations play in connecting key economic inputs - housing, skills, investment and innovation - and has therefore been working with local partners across all sectorsto produce a Strategic Transport Investment Plan that can support the area including its two majorcities Southampton and Portsmouth and the wider Solent, including the Isle of Wight, to succeed and grow in a globally competitive economic environment.
The Solent LEP met with Solent MPs in Westminster today to discuss the plan which outlines a series of transformative, evidence-based proposals and highlights a range of transport solutions that can act as the focal point of a strategy for ensuring that the region can continue to attract inward investment, develop business clusters, nurture local skills and talent, and build on existing assets in order for the area to successfully compete with similarly sized conurbations in the UK and abroad, and deliver a transport system befitting of the size, strength and aspiration of the region.
Flick Drummond, MP for Portsmouth South, said:
This plan is an ambitious blueprint for the future of the local economy and will set out the investment that we need to unlock the economic potential of Portsmouth and the wider Solent area in the years to come.We need to improve the links from our highly skilled industries with the rest of the UK and the world and a well performing transport infrastructure is vital for our continued economic growth.
Here in Portsmouth we have a port that is one of the three international gateways in the Solent area that opens up a wealth of opportunities for investment and commerce with the rest of the world. Linking it up with the rest of the country in terms of better freight and passenger services has to be a priority.
The Solent has the most urbanised areas in the South of England outside London. It needs improved rail and road links both between Portsmouth and Southampton and onwards to London that are fit for purpose for the years to come.
Gary Jeffries, Chairman of Solent LEP, said:
The Strategic Transport Investment Plan provides a framework within which we can accelerate the delivery of the Solent Strategic Economic Plan, increasing productivity in the area and enabling the economy and people of the Solent to achieve their full potential. We look forward to continuing to work with the business community, individual businesses and local key partners, as well as central government and its agencies on increasing productivity in the Solent.

Electrical utilities which own the generation and distribution network will love smart contracts. They get all of the advantages while purchasers get most of the disadvantages. They have guaranteed payment, no accounts receivable problems, and the contracts will be between only two entities, so they'll be simple. Right now, major jurisdictions like Germany or California see around a million customers unable to pay their bills on time annually, with resulting accounts receivable costs, loss of the money they spent on the electricity and getting it to the customers, and the costs of turning electricity off and on again, only some of which they can recover.
In many places, utilities are monopolies for purchase of electricity by consumers and businesses. I'm unaware of any situation where they don't have a monopoly on distribution grids. That's why they are typically regulated to prevent consumers from being gouged. But it's easy to foresee utilities convincing regulators that smart contracts will lower overall rates and forcing smart contracts on consumers with risky financial situations. As stated, where a monopoly exists, the monopolist will be very happy with smart contracts.
I can't say the same for any consumers of electricity, however. What's in it for them? They get some convenience in that once the contract is set up, it's automatically executed and paid, but that's what direct deposit does already. I get notified when my electricity bill is due and how much it is, and don't have to do anything else today. The value has to be outside of the contractual structure, something which takes the cost of electricity down a lot, or the stability of the electricity up a lot.
In developed countries, poorer customers who most often default, and so would be the natural target of monopolistic utilities, would be most hurt by the need to put money in up front. But pre-payment plans already exist for exactly that purpose, and have for a long time. This is just a different mechanism for them, and might be a better one.
Utilities which only own the distribution are still potentially going to be happy. They could easily have smart contracts with their customers and net 30 contracts with their suppliers. As necessary intermediaries who supply the grid, they don't have to apply smart contracts on both sides unless they want to. Once again, they will only use smart contracts with suppliers if there is a significant reduction in price or a significant increase in other elements.
Generators would, of course, love smart contracts with purchasers of any sort. They get all the benefits from the contractual structure and very few downsides. Renewable electricity generators especially will love smart contracts, as they have no fuel suppliers to worry about and low costs. Fossil fuel generators, like utilities, will try to have smart contracts with purchasers and net 30 contracts with fuel suppliers.
It's easy to see that any seller of electricity will be working hard to convince buyers of the advantages. And it's easy to see a lot of buyers being convinced. From the penalties clauses value to buyers, however, we can start seeing some value propositions. Say an aluminum smelter — a very large consumer of electricity — enters into a smart contract with a utility for a certain amount of electricity at a certain time and voltage. If the utility doesn't deliver it due to brownouts and the like, the smelter doesn't pay as much.
Similarly, there's a lot of construction in electrical generation and distribution, and smart contracts which automatically enforce penalties for various aspects of delivery could be advantageous.
If efficiencies for utilities are seen which substantially reduce their cost of doing business, for example in the order-to-cash process, and these savings are passed on to consumers, then there will be a transformation. That isn't a given, however.
It's in the developing world with poorly developed grids and poor contractual law where smart contracts for electricity might have value. If there is no order-to-cash system and grid operator in place, smart contracts between generators and purchasers would likely be able to use smart contracts to create a distributed version. It's difficult to say where these pockets might be, however. In countries with poorly served rural regions, those rural regions are still regulated by the country's laws. In failed states and lawless regions, it's difficult to see what would prevent local warlords from merely ripping down the ramshackle wires that sprang up if they didn't receive their cut.
As the sections on smart contracts show, blockchain-enabled smart contracts aren't a home run in the utilities sector. There are many cases where the advantages are strongly one-sided. But that doesn't mean that they have no value or that value won't emerge.
The articles also show that caveat emptor, let the buyer beware, still applies in this emerging space. Most of the advantages of smart contracts accrue to the seller, so the buyer has to know exactly what advantages they are getting. Further, smart contracts will dominantly be developed and offered by sellers initially, and while they are very useful constructs, they are not necessarily a contract in the eyes of the law. Where a seller intentionally or unintentionally creates a bad contract which doesn't resolve or resolves inappropriately in their favor, there's little reason to believe that existing case law will be current and able to deal with disputes. And that's in areas with systemic respect for contractual law. In areas of the world with little respect for contractual law, there will be very little available recourse.
