Flashing lights, fire and rockets will signal the 45th-annual USF Engineering Expo on Friday and Saturday.
Engineering students, both undergrads and masters, have the opportunity to present a project they've worked on and help community members understand the science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) principles behind the exhibit.
Kayrol Leslie, the Financial Officer for the student-run Engineering Expo organization, said the event is an opportunity for engineering students to showcase skills they have learned in their classes to the community.
"(Students) have the opportunity to teach but also to learn, as they're developing their skills through the exhibits and projects that they create," she said.
Teaching will be especially abundant on Friday, as school buses from as far as Miami-Dade County roll onto campus, bringing K-12 students to learn science in a new way.
"Letting people experience science is a better way of teaching them science," Janet Gillis, Communications and Marketing Officer for USF's College of Engineering, said.
On Saturday, non-school groups such as the Girl and Boy Scouts, homeschool groups and other community members will attend.
Overall, event organizers expect almost 15 thousand people to visit on Friday and Saturday.
"In previous years, we've had up to 20 thousand people on Friday and Saturday combined. Last year, we had about 15 thousand; this year we're shooting for about the same," Martín Bucheli, Engineering Expo President, said.
The event is sponsored by 12 corporations, some of which will bring their own exhibits. Lockheed Martin will provide a virtual reality exhibit with headsets and simulators, according to Expo Director of Corporate Relations Victoria Poitier. Additionally, NASA, GE and X Labs will have displays, as well as other companies.
Some exhibits change every year, but there are displays that keep visitors coming back, such as the laser light show presented by X Labs. The show has changed over the years as technology has improved.
"As [companies] develop new technologies then those things are added," Gillis said.
Andrew Huff is a senior at USF and a member of the Society of Aeronautics and Rocketry (SOAR) at USF. SOAR's exhibit will feature several different rockets. Huff hopes that the exhibit will help visitors understand that rocket science isn't as intimidating as it may seem.
"We love promoting STEM to young kids, and how it's a great field to get into," he said.
Bucheli looks forward to the event and expects it to intrigue guests of all ages.
"It's just a fun thing to do where [visitors] can get excited on STEM and they can really have that little seed planted of curiosity, you know, making them want to come back and … kind of dig a little deeper in STEM," he said.


While there has been talk about releasing 9.0 stable a while ago, something just didn't feel right yet, namely the state our administration interface. With most of the internals cleaned up now, and component functionality improved in a lot of places, most of the system is in pretty good shape, which made the shortcomings of the current editing metaphor all the more obvious.
There are a few different basic approaches that CMSs take with their editing tools, the most common one being a backend of some sort that is completely isolated from the user visible parts. This has the advantage that there can be no interference from frontend code, and the interface can be optimized properly for the task at hand.
For a while now this approach has been criticized for not being user friendly in the sense that what a user does is too far removed from the results of their actions, so in-page editing systems became the hot new thing. MidCOM was in fact an early pioneer in that approach, Datamanager2 includes inline editing functionality since time immemorial. However, it never really took of, because this approach created a number of problems on its own, for example interference of site CSS/JS with editor functionality, the problem of editing invisible fields, and so on and so forth.
For a while, we've tried to overcome these issues by switching to Create.js, which managed to address these concerns to some extent, and was generally a much more capable tool. But it, too, simply was not able to fulfill OpenPSA's needs. It's development seems to have stalled lately, so there doesn't seem to be much chance to see it improving in the forseeable future.
So in the end, we stuck with the status quo that has been around since the release of MidCOM 2.0. It can probably best be described as "inline editing without inline editing", that is to say, there is no admin backend, all editing is done in the website itself, only there are no actual inline editing tools, instead a new page with a (backend) form opens in the frontend layout. So you had the problem of site/application layout bleeding into the admin functionality, while still being unable to see the effect of your edits immediately. For site/application developers it also meant having to allot time to the task of adapting/testing the admin interface with each new project they built, which is not exactly an incentive to use MidCOM if you don't have to.
So for the last year, we have been experimenting with different options on how to solve this dilemma, and it turns out that the solution is pretty simple: We're splitting the established CRUD (create/read/update/delete) cluster into one interface for Reading (i.e. the regular frontend of the site/app), and move the other three into overlays (iframes, if you want to get technical). This solves the problem of the admin interface interfering the site/application functionality, and at the same time provides a much more direct connection to the frontend than a dedicated admin backend could. The limitations of actual inline don't apply, since the admin UI is isolated, and the users can see the result of their actions as soon as they click save, with no further interaction required.
We've used this in a couple of production sites already and had quite encouraging feedback so far. Currently, the migration of mainline components is ongoing, and should be completed in a matter of weeks. Afterwards, the long-elusive 9.0 release should just be one stabilization period away.
You can play around with the current state on our demo server, or you check out the latest version directly from Github. In any case, if you find any bugs or have requests for improvements, just let us know.

Vladislav Vančura (23. června 1891 Háj ve Slezsku – 1. června 1942 Praha) byl slezský spisovatel, dramatik a filmový režisér, původním povoláním lékař. V době druhé světové války se zapojil do protinacistického odboje a roku 1942 byl popraven.

Život

Soukromý život
Narodil se v Háji ve Slezsku. Matka se jmenovala Marie (rozená Svobodová), narozená 19. září 1863 v Klucích na Čáslavsku, původem z katolické rodiny. Otec evangelík Václav Vojtěch Vančura (28. září 1856, Čáslav) se v době Vančurova narození živil jako úředník cukrovaru v Háji u Opavy. Místo po čase opustil a rodina se dlouhá léta stěhovala. Během šesti let Vančurova života rodina žila v Cvrčově u Tovačova, Tovačově, Praze, Močovicích u Čáslavi, Libici nad Cidlinou, Havransku (zaniklá obec) a nakonec v Davli, kde se rodina na celých sedmnáct let usadila. Vančura zde docházel do místní tříletky, později se učil soukromě. Měl starší sestru Marii Tučkovou a tři mladší sestry – Otýlii Suchomelovou, Františku a Ludmilu. Jeho příbuzný byl Antonín Vančura – Jiří Mahen. (Dědové Vančury a Mahena byli bratři.)

Primu a sekundu vystudoval na Malostranském gymnáziu, kde žil bez rodičů, tercii a kvartu v Benešově, kde potkal Karla Nového – celé čtyři roky se o něho a sourozence starala sestra Marie. Ani na jedné škole nebyl spokojen. Měl kázeňské problémy, z nichž jeden vyústil v propadnutí jeho a dalších žáků včetně Karla Nového. Příčinou bylo sympatizování s protirakouskými myšlenkami, tíhnutí k socialismu a Masarykovi. To vyústilo v debatní kroužek, kde se mimo tato témata diskutovalo i o umění a náboženství. Benešovská léta Vančura zobrazil ve svém Pekaři Janu Marhoulovi. Mladý, věčně zamyšlený Jan Josef se zde dostal do křížku se zeměpisářem Brunculíkem a katechetou Kovářem – ve Vančurově Benešově dějepisář Brunclík a katecheta Kolář.

Do kvarty se nevrátil a místo toho se stal knihkupeckým příručím ve Vysokém Mýtě, dále se učil fotografem, zkoušel Grafickou unii v Praze a zinkografii Unie na Vyšehradě. Od mládí Vančura tíhnul k malířství, a tak studoval na umělecko-průmyslové škole v Praze. Pokoušel se i o studium na Akademii. I přes doporučení Mikoláše Alše, které mu zařídil Karel Nový, s kterým tehdy v Praze žil, ho tehdejší rektor akademie Hanuš Schwaiger odmítl. Po neúspěchu snil o cestování světem a dobrovolně se přihlásil k námořnictvu. Ve stejnou dobu se vrátil do Davle, jelikož jeho matka těžce onemocněla. Vančura poté během roku složil zkoušku za kvartu a kvintu. Sextu vychodil na gymnáziu v Křemencově ulici, septimu a oktávu na Malostranském gymnáziu, kde také 1. července 1915 ve věku 24 let maturoval. Po maturitě studoval na Právnické fakultě Univerzity Karlovy a zároveň pracoval jako úředník v Zemědělské radě. Po prvním semestru zaměstnání opustil a přestoupil na Lékařskou fakultu. Studium hladce dokončil, jeho diplom je datován 2. června 1921.

Na univerzitě potkal Ludmilu Tuhou, se kterou se krátce po své promoci, 16. srpna 1921, oženil. Po svatbě manželé Vančurovi otevřeli lékařskou praxi na Zbraslavi, kam se později přestěhovali. Roku 1924 zde podle návrhu architekta Jaromíra Krejcara, Vančurova kolegy z Devětsilu, postavili tzv. Vančurovu vilu, ve které Vančura žil až do svého odvedení gestapem. 8. dubna 1923 se manželům Vančurovým narodila dcera Alena (provdaná Santarová), pozdější spisovatelka. O svém životě Vladislav Vančura podle jeho nejbližších přátel (V. Nezval, 2. bratranec Jiří Mahen, žena Ludmila, Karel Nový) nerad mluvil. Tehdejší spisovatelé o sobě často psali do časopisů, nejčastěji do Rozprav Aventina, ale Vančura tak nečinil. Osobní informace tak pocházejí především ze vzpomínkové knihy Ludmily Vančurové, vzpomínek Karla Nového a korespondence z pozůstalosti Vančurových nejbližších.

Účastník kulturního a politického dění
Byl členem a prvním předsedou Devětsilu (1920), přívrženec poetismu, ve třicátých letech byl členem Levé fronty. Od roku 1920 publikoval v mnoha časopisech – Červen, Kmen, Host a Panorama. Od roku 1921 byl členem KSČ. V roce 1929 však podepsal spolu se šesti dalšími komunistickými umělci tzv. Manifest sedmi, který kritizoval nové Gottwaldovo vedení, a následně byl spolu s ostatními signatáři z KSČ vyloučen. Svými postoji se však i nadále hlásil k marxistické levici.

V roce 1924 působil v období března až května jako divadelní kritik v deníku Československá samostatnost, později přejmenovaného na Národní osvobození, kde převzal místo po Jindřichu Vodákovi, který odešel do divadelní rubriky Českého slova. Kritiky podepisoval šifrou -jv.- nebo -W-. Celkově zde připravil 21 divadelních kritik. Byl rovněž členem redakční rady Družstevní práce, kde mimo jiné vyšly i jeho Obrazy z dějin národa českého. V letech 1933–1942 byl členem Moravského kola spisovatelů. Byl též předsedou Československé filmové společnosti (1936–1938).

Za okupace vedl spisovatelskou sekci Výboru inteligence – ilegální odbojové organizace při komunistickém Ústředním národním revolučním výboru. V květnu roku 1942 byl zatčen a 1. června na Kobyliské střelnici popraven.

V roce 1946 byl in memoriam jmenován Národním umělcem.

Odbojová činnost a antifašismus

V listopadu 1934 podepsal protifašistický projev spisovatelů, umělců a intelektuálů, 11. prosince 1934 promluvil na protifašistické manifestaci studenstva a spisovatelů, 13. srpna 1935 se účastnil schůze, která řešila situaci českého obyvatelstva v pohraničí. 8. září byl zvolen do čestného předsednictva Svazu německé kulturní fronty v ČSR. Svůj odpor k fašismu také vložil do své povídky Občan Don Quijote, kterou vydal roku 1937. Podporovala ho KSČ, která o jeho aktivitách referovala v Rudém právu i přes Vančurovo vyloučení. Na neshody se zapomnělo a Vančura byl pozván na VII. sjezd KSČ. Vančura se sjezdu sice neúčastnil, ale napsal pozdravný dopis, ve kterém přál straně a sjezdu úspěch.

Za války se účastnil odbojové činnosti, ke které se zavázal už na podzim 1939. V roce 1941 byl postaven do čela Národně revolučního výboru inteligence. Legálně ale přednášel, stal se členem Sboru filmových lektorů a byl soutěžním porotcem Družstevní práce. 5. ledna 1940 byl německým protektorátním komisařem pro film vyzván, aby vypracoval scénář pro film o Bedřichu Smetanovi. 27. srpna toho roku byl jménem Goebbelse pozván na cestu do Německa. Ani jednu nabídku Vančura nepřijal. Karel Nový dále vzpomínal, že Vančura ilegálně psal pro Rudé právo a sbíral peníze pro postižené rodiny. Na konci roku 1941 očekával brzký konec války a projektoval socialistickou encyklopedii společně s Ladislavem Štollem. Podílel se také na plánu budoucího znárodnění československého filmu. Pro svůj vliv a antifašistické činnosti byl 1. června 1942 (v 18 hodin a 45 minut) zastřelen na Kobyliské střelnici během tzv. druhé heydrichiády.

Výtvarné umění a film
Po neúspěšných zkouškách na výtvarnou Akademii se o výtvarné umění dále zajímal. Od konce ledna roku 1919 do června 1921 se věnoval výtvarné kritice (eseje, referáty o výstavách, psal články teoretizující a programové, medailony, polemiky a polemické glosy). Publikoval v různých časopisech, v Čase, Českém slově, Červnu atd. Ještě v době, kdy vydával své první knihy, stavěl výtvarné umění před slovesnost. Roku 1924 Vančura napsal: "Ve shonu za stylem a v období zajisté přechodném je právě vhod opříti se o disciplínu, jež nejvíce se blíží exaktnosti. Dnes v umění je to výtvarnictví a nepokládám za náhodu, že z něho byly odvozeny míry moderního krásného písemnictví."

O filmu přemýšlel už v roce 1920, když v srpnu v Českém slově otiskl úvahu Film, ve které stavěl film před divadlo. Roku 1926 napsal filmové libreto Nenapravitelný Tommy jakožto parodii na americké dobrodružné filmy. V říjnu 1929 poté v novinách otiskl své filmové drama Lethargus (knižně vydáno až roku 1986). Prvním filmem, na kterém se Vančura podílel, byl film Před maturitou. Premiéru měl 9. září 1932 a Vančura zde byl uveden pouze jako umělecký spolupracovník, ačkoliv se podílel na námětu, scénáři a režii. Filmu se dostalo dobrého přijetí od diváků i kritiky. Vančura se poté až do konce roku 1933 nevěnoval literatuře, nýbrž filmu. Jeho první vlastní film vznikl za spolupráce s V. Nezvalem, který k hudbě od E. F. Buriana napsal slova. Dále V. Nezval napsal libreto za spolupráce Romana Jakobsona, Vančurova přítele ze strukturalistického Pražského lingvistického kroužku. Po neuspokojivé první verzi filmu se změnil scénář, prostředí a film dostal definitivní název Na sluneční straně. K premiéře došlo 1. prosince 1933. Filmu se nedostalo dobrého přijetí ani ze strany diváků ani od kritiky, nejspíše z důvodu neobvyklých záběrů, množství metafor, neprofesionality herců a Vančurovy amatérské režie. Spolupráce s filmovou společností A-B tak skončila. Vančura poté s Karlem Novým a Ivanem Olbrachtem natočil film Marijka nevěrnice. Hudbu složil Bohuslav Martinů. Film byl natočen během pár týdnů a premiéru měl 2. března 1934, u obecenstva znovu neuspěl. Během své filmové činnosti Vančura plánoval zpracovat i svůj námět na Barona Prášila, z čehož poté vznikl jeho pozdější román Konec starých časů. Po neúspěších si Vančura zřídil vlastní "filmové studio" – stan, kde během následujících let plánoval natočit sedmidílnou komediální parodii Nedorozumění a jiné menší projekty, také parodické, žádný z filmů nebyl však z finančních důvodů natočen.

20. října vznikla 1936 Česká filmová společnost, jejímž prvním předsedou se stal Vančura. V roce 1937 se poté podílel na režii a scénáři filmů Láska a lidé (premiéra 25. prosince 1937) a Naši Furianti (premiéra 4. března 1938); Vančurova spoluúčast zde byla znatelnější než u Lásky a lidí. I přes relativní oblibu Našich Furiantů u tehdejšího diváctva nedosáhl ani jeden ze snímků komerčního úspěchu a Vančurova filmařská práce tak skončila.

Citát

Literární dílo
Vančurovo prozaické dílo bylo ovlivněno první světovou válkou, expresionismem, obsahuje celou řadu experimentů – hledá nové způsoby vyjádření. Pro jeho díla je typický specifický jazyk a sloh, který napodobuje větnou stavbu staré češtiny, usiluje o zvukomalbu. Vančurův jazyk byl celkově bohatý.

Typické znaky
Archaická slova a knižní výrazy spojoval s lidovou mluvou. Větná stavba je zastaralá, užívá složitá souvětí, zdůrazňoval jimi důležitost daného okamžiku. Tento jazyk dává dílům monumentální ráz. Děj je potlačován, důležité místo má vypravěč, který vyjadřuje svůj názor k ději, přerušuje vyprávění a oslovuje čtenáře, hodnotí chování postav. Části příběhů připomínají filmové scénáře. Opěvuje život, zdůrazňuje prožitky, detailně vyjadřuje náladu, barevnost příběhu, city.

Romány
 Pekař Jan Marhoul (1924) román se sociálním zaměřením. Hlavní postava je laskavý a hodný pekař. Děj je zasazen do Benešova. Toto dílo je špičkovým reprezentantem meziválečné levicově orientované avantgardní tvorby.
 Pole orná a válečná (1925) v tomto románu V. Vančura začal experimentovat s jazykem, což místy klade velké nároky na čtenáře. Tento román, který je ovlivněn první světovou válkou, nemá jednotný děj, ale skládá se z řady epizod, které nemají věcnou ani jinou souvislost. Vytváří tu dva světy, které staví do protikladu – mírový vesnický a válečný. Vančura chce ukázat, jak válka převrací životy lidí. Ukazuje tak, že i zlodějíček a ničema se může stát hrdinou – neoslavuje jeho hrdinství, naopak je vyzdvihován fakt, že je oslavován ničema.
 Rozmarné léto (1926)  humoristická novela. Na prvním místě tohoto díla není děj, ale jazyk. Pokouší se vystihnout atmosféru malých lázní na řece Orši (inspirací byly říční lázně u Vančurova bydliště Zbraslavi). Do Krokových Varů přijíždí kouzelník se svou asistentkou, kterou se snaží získat všichni tři hrdinové, a to i za cenu velkých změn v životě. Ani jeden není úspěšný, a tak se po odjezdu kouzelníka vše vrací do starých zaběhlých kolejí. Slohem lze toto dílo označit za humoresku ovlivněnou poetismem. Kriticky se k tomuto dílu, jakož i k celé jedné části Vančurova díla (k jeho tzv. programářské linii) vyjádřil na konci 60. let literární kritik Jan Lopatka.
 Poslední soud (1929) román, který konfrontuje prostředí Prahy a Podkarpatské Rusi. Je to svár přírody a civilizace, fikce a reality. Je zde patrné Vančurovo okouzlení Prahou i jeho zájem o Podkarpatskou Rus. Jazykově se toto dílo vyznačuje velkou metaforičností, syntaktickou a kompoziční složitostí. Za tento román obdržel v roce 1929 Státní cenu za literaturu. V roce 1935 Vančura toto dílo přepracoval, důvodem byl jeho odklon k realismu.
 Hrdelní pře anebo přísloví (1930) román se zabývá problematikou viny a trestu. Několik přátel se snaží odhalit starou vraždu, závěr je otevřený – vítězí hodnoty plného a radostného života. Toto dílo je oslavou života, ve stylu "víno, ženy, zpěv". Zároveň obsahuje kritické výpady proti tehdejší společnosti. Po jazykové stránce je zde charakteristická velká frekvence lidových rčení a přísloví. Román byl zdramatizován v Českém rozhlas Brno v roce 1989; dramatizace Karel Tachovský, režie: Pavel Hradil.
 Markéta Lazarová (1931)  v tomto díle je důraz kladen na jazyk a atmosféru a teprve až pak na děj. Osnovou je baladický příběh plný lásky. Jde o vystižení atmosféry a vylíčení prudké lásky. Dějovým pozadím je středověk 13. stol., je líčeno nepřátelství dvou loupežnických rodů Lazarů a Kozlíků. Markéta se zamiluje do Mikuláše Kozlíka a z této lásky se nakonec oba rody spojí. Za tuto knihu obdržel v roce 1931 státní cenu.

Vančura napsal ještě několik próz tohoto typu:
 Útěk do Budína (1932)  námětem je tragická láska Češky a Slováka, což Vančurovi umožňuje konfrontovat národní povahy Čechů a Slováků.
 Luk královny Dorotky  soubor povídek.
 Konec starých časů (1934)  román, jehož děj se odehrává po první světové válce.
 Tři řeky (1936) v tomto románu se Vančura začíná zabývat současností. Jde o vylíčení života selského synka Jana Kostky od 90. let 19. stol. až po první republiku. V tomto díle je hlavní pozornost věnována ději, nikoli jazyku. Toto dílo je silně protiválečné.
 Rodina Horvatova (1938) toto dílo mělo být první díl k připravované trilogii Koně a vůz. Napsal pouze tento 1. díl.
 Obrazy z dějin národa českého (1939–1940)  dílo vystavěné na historických podkladech, z původně zamýšlených šesti dílů napsal jen dva (byl zatčen gestapem uprostřed práce a dílo tak zůstalo nedokončeno v půli věty), druhý díl vyšel v roce 1948. Nejedná se o souvislé vyprávění, ale o stylizované příběhy slavných osobností (Kosmas, Přemysl Otakar II.). Začíná u praotce Čecha a končí na konci 13. století. Dílo mělo posilovat národní sebevědomí v osudových chvílích pomnichovských. V roce 1947 za ně obdržel státní cenu in memoriam.

 již zde se projevuje jeho typický a nenapodobitelný styl, který spočívá v lyrizaci epiky, obrazném vidění jednotlivých událostí, oslabení časové a dějové souvislosti, častý výskyt metafor, hyperbolizace reality a monumentalita, umocněná složitou jazykovou složkou díla

Kubula a Kuba Kubikula (1931)

 kniha určená dětem o medvědáři, medvědovi a medvědím strašidle

Drama
 Jezero Ukereve (1935) děj se odehrává v Ugandě, vyjadřuje zde myšlenky proti kolonizaci.
 Josefína (1941)  variace na Pygmalion G. B. Shawa, barová zpěvačka Josefína se pozná s profesorem z konzervatoře, který ji chce učit a udělat z ní zpěvačku. Ona z počátku chce, ale později utíká zpět, protože se jí nelíbí přetvářka, intriky, maloměšťáctví. Tato hra byla poprvé hrána až v roce 1957.
 Alchymista (1932)  sada děl o stavu národa, začínající Hrdelní pří, vrcholí dramatem, Alchymistou. Je to Vančurova třetí celovečerní hra, jejíž premiéra se konala 18. listopadu 1932 na prknech Stavovského divadla. Alchymista je skutečný učenec, který se ve hře dodatečně kvalifikuje předpovědí zatmění Slunce, do role podvodného výrobce zlata je vehnán chtivostí a vášněmi svého okolí, vlastní láskou a v neposlední řadě i přesvědčení, které sdílel se svou dobou, míněním, že proměňovat kovy ve zlato je skutečně možno a že sám má rozřešení tajemství už na dosah ruky. Hra se původně jmenovala Martin a Michael, podle bratří Koryčanů, do jejichž života zasáhne vědec hvězdář Alessandro del Morone.
 Alessandro del Morone přináší do Čech inspirativní a strhující příklad jižního životního slohu, proměňuje vlastně všechno, na co sáhne a všechny, s nimiž se setká: Martin se pod jeho vlivem nechává proměnit ve zosobnění žádosti po penězích a po zlatě, Michael v žádostivost po poznání, Anna v nešťastnou hříšnici. Alessandro nepůsobí svým temperamentem na psychicky neutišený stav Martina, Michaela a Anny Koryčanových, ale má nemalý vliv i na další postavy, dceru manželů Koryčanových, Evu, i na bratra Anny, mladého Bubna. Eva, v níž Alessandro probudí velkou lásku, má nakonec odvahu odejít se svou láskou do Itálie; v Bubnovi je probuzeno nadšení pro vědu a dílo, a při svém odpojení od mistra míří výš než jeho vzor sám. Proti Alessandrovi stojí také další osoba, kněz Třešť, který je ideologickou oporou hraběcí rodiny. Tito dva spolu vedou zápas, v němž Třešť neustále obviňuje, a dokonce i obžalovává Alessandra z rozvratu v rodině, na který ale nemá důkazy.
 Učitel a žák (1927), Nemocná dívka (1928)  hry vzniklé v době intenzivní spolupráce s avantgardním Osvobozeným divadlem.

Ukázky z děl

Rozmarné léto
 Čas
 "Kalendář more Gregoriano rudl prvou nedělí červnovou a zněly veliké zvony. Čas šel vpřed rychlým krokem jako tomu bývá vždy ve chvílích prázdně a o velkých svátcích. Blížila se hodina osmá, hodina, o níž se vypráví, že je to čenich smečky denního času a že vás vyslídí, stůj co stůj."

 Stáří a poloha ústavu Antonína Důry
 "V tuto chvíli zpěvem a rozmarnou hrou byl počat děj tohoto vypravování v plovoucím domě Důrově. Prám Antonínův, na němž jsou zbudovány lehké stavby plovárenské, jest upoután, kde se hřbet Orše poněkud čeří, větře písčinu zvící padesáti sáhů. V těchto místech břeh směrem k městu je pokryt vrbinami, končícími se před zahradami jirchářů a výrobců oplatek. Zarůstá příliš každého léta, zachovávaje vzhled ježatosti téměř neušlechtilé. Nikdo jich neštípí, a těm, kdo jdou k řece, nezbývá než maličko stezek, žel, úzkých. Na počátku cest je zaraženo po tyči zhruba omalované, jež, jako oslice sedlo, nese nápis: Říční lázně."

Mark Farina - fabric 40 CD
Decrease quantity for Mark Farina - fabric 40 CD
Increase quantity for Mark Farina - fabric 40 CD
Music has ruled Mark Farina's every step since his days in a marching band playing trumpet, which blurred into wild nights stomping around hardcore and punk shows. Eventually persuading his parents to allow him to ditch the brass bugle and bring a drum set into the house, Mark held the beat down for a New Wave alternative cover band reworking The The, The Smiths, The Cure, Front 242 and Ministry.
Mark celebrated his first solo DJ gig at the Chicagoan underage mecca, Medusa's, at the age of 16. With Chicago being such a close-knit scene, Mark rubbed shoulders with many of the scene innovators at Gramaphone, "a huge record store in Chicago, everybody worked there at some point - Derrick Carter, Ralphie Rosario, J Dub, DJ Heather - we're all a big family." Before long his residency at Medusa's moved over to one of Chicago's most seminal nightclubs, Smartbar. Mark joined minds and rooms with emerging DJs Derrick Carter and Chris Nazuka, living in a loft space they fondly called "Rednail". Named off the back of Carter's Rednail Kidz productions, the loft took on a life of its own and became home for raucous parties and their first productions, and inspired their phone number (R-E-D-N-A-I-L). Producing under the moniker Symbols & Instruments, the synergistic trio's most famous production is credited as the first ambient house tune, the KMS classic 'Mood'.
"When making the mix, I played a sort of fictitious set at fabric on a night that doesn't exist. Musically, I tried to capture the techy, jackin' Chicago/SF side of the house spectrum - dubby, chunky tracks. I tried to pick tunes from all over the world. I picked a good variation of underground goodies, a lot of which are unreleased or hopefully not on any other compilations. Tracks that have a good "shelf life" but that aren't proven hits; hidden gems that might go over looked in this fast paced music era." Mark Farina
Fusing the laid-back vibes of San Francisco and the jackin' sounds of Chicago, bringing the Midwest and West coast to some kind of smooth, sunny middle ground, Mark Farina takes fabric 40 by the helm and steers it down an astonishing, picturesque route. Mixed lovingly by hand, this buoyant, essential summer soundtrack swells and melds with the head-nodding sounds of Derrick Carter, JT Donaldson & Uneaq, DJ Sneak and King Kooba.

As part of Harlequins' rampant spending spree ahead of next season, the London club have signed Leicester's Will Evans – as first flagged by RugbyPass in January.
The 22-year-old flanker is regarded as a highly promising player at Leicester, and has even been called up to Eddie Jones' England squad in the past. This is where he would have encountered current Quins boss Paul Gustard, who is obviously an admirer of his.
To date, Harlequins have made seven new signings this week, which has a blend of experienced and inexperience, with plenty of international caps included.
The Quins fans are keen to see the former England u20s star arrive at the Stoop, with the signing being described by one fan as the "best one yet". That is some statement given the calibre of players that are arriving next season such as Michele Campagnaro, Scott Baldwin and Martin Landajo.
However, what is most noticeable on social media is the disappointment from Leicester fans, who have seen yet another promising young player leave that has come through their academy.
The Tigers saw Harry Thacker move to Bristol last season which has disappointed many, and Evans is another that has slipped through their fingers.
Best one yet in my opinion, so underrated and massive potential. Just needs game time.
We're sorry to see him go. He's a real talent. Well done ?
He is a massive talent! Never got the games he deserved at Tigers and I'm sad to be losing him. You've made a fantastic signing and I wish him and Quins all the best next season ??
Leicester are going through a tough season, and while they have been able to tie down Manu Tuilagi at Welford Road, many fans would have liked to see some of the next generation remain with the club. While Tommy Reffell is one player that has recently recommitted to the club, that may be at the expense of Evans, which provides both good and bad news.
However, Evans has struggled for game time with the Tigers this year, and a move to Harlequins may be the best thing for his career. England on the whole has had quite a dearth of talented openside flankers over the years, but Evans looks to be a member of the emerging cohort of talented sevens, and could thrive under the tutelage of Gustard.
While some fans can sometimes understand why a player would want to move away, this is one that the Leicester fans are rueing, and fearing that this could be another talent that got away from them.


Speed date milano 14 febbraio 2018 nfl, when & where is the 2018 nfl draft?
There was even talk of the realistic chance he's picked ahead of Georgia star Roquan Smith early in the first round.
He has a good physical skill set with instincts, but he can be a gambler, which hurt his playing time because the coaching staff lacked trust in him. He has a nice skill set, but he hasn't played up to it yet. Plenty of top prospects in play here. Joseph has good height, but could use more weight for the NFL.
While he has gotten a lot of hype suggesting he's as good as his former teammates, he's significantly smaller than them, so he will need to show that size is something he overcomes while taking over a starting spot for the Buckeyes.
He wasn't a star dating scammer kseniya russian Illinois, but before his injury, sources labeled him as draftable, noting that he has the skill set to be a better pro than college player.
Jackson recorded 49 tackles with 10 passes broken up and an interception in The off-the-field issues are going to be vetted heavily, but Jackson has the physical talent to be an early-round pick for the NFL.
The Steelers, Raiders and Bears have also shown interest in him. As a sophomore, he totaled 21 tackles with one breakup across seven games.
He totaled 48 tackles with eight passes broken up, zero interceptions and two forced fumbles in The physical runner has the ability to create yards after contact and is a punishing finisher. McFadden is at his best in press-man and zone coverages rather than off-man coverage.
As a sophomore, he totaled 39 tackles with eight breakups and two interceptions. At the combine, Dawson helped himself with nice speed in the yard dash.
In speaking with scouts, they liked Sam Beal a lot more than Phillips, but Phillips still played well enough to earn invitation to the Senior Bowl. That worked out as him recording an interception in every game he played in except for one.
As a senior, he totaled 56 tackles with eight interceptions and eight passes broken up. Jackson ran one of the fastest 40 times at the combine and illustrated his ability to run with the NFL's deep-threat receivers. General manager Chris Ballard has repeatedly said they have to be able to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
They selected center Ryan Kelly with the No. With Jordy Nelson nearing the end of his time in Green Bay, the Packers plan ahead at wide receiver with Sutton, a monster who dominates the catch point and is elusive after the catch.
After his thoroughly impressive workout, he is projected to be a first-round pick.
Depth and competition are the two important factors for the Colts on the offensive line. He looks like a future starter and could have No.
But consistency was an issue for Turay, who played standing up a lot. Sources have told me that Toliver is being hurt by off-the-field issues pushing him down. The Steelers need to reinforce the second level of their defense, and Evans is a hard-hitting downhill linebacker with quick recognition skills.
Jackson had an underwhelming combine performance.
InJackson totaled 40 tackles with seven passes broken up and three interceptions. The Colts were 26th in the NFL against the run Darius Leonard is added to a Colts linebacker corps that needs a spark.
Sources say that Davis is a physical defender, but he has some tightness while lacking athleticism and not being a big cornerback. They think that Johnson is a tough defender and built to be a nickelback in the NFL.

Acts of War? Accountability for Cyberattacks in Ukraine
March 9, 2022 | 12:30 PM
The Washington Foreign Law Society
from 12:30 to 1:30 PM EST
– This webinar is jointly organized with the Stimson Center –
As the international crisis over Ukraine grows, experts are working to gather information about the cyberattacks on Ukraine. The January 2022 attacks used a multi-pronged strategy, crippling over 70 government websites while selectively deploying wiper malware disguised as ransomware. Destructive cyberattacks usually occur around geopolitical fault lines, and the Ukrainian secret service has identified Russia as the attacker. Who is in a position to credibly identify who did it? What are the political consequences of attribution? When do attacks become an act of war? Hostilities in Ukraine have expanded the conversation beyond peacetime cyber norms to the law of armed conflict.
Join us for this newest addition to our series on Cyber Accountability. For earlier events, see: https://www.stimson.org/project/cyber-security/.

Album Reissues
Published on 9th December 2017
Unicorn – Too Many Crooks
Article by: Basil Francis
This year marks a decade of Esoteric Recordings. Beginning by releasing solely progressive rock music, it's safe to say the style of their releases has strayed from the original remit somewhat. Nevertheless, I'll continue to chase their reissues, as what some albums lack in prog, they make up for in quality and intrigue. Unicorn is a classic example, a British band twisting American country music into a more melancholic AOR form. That sentence would have put me off, but there is gold to be found here, I promise.
Make sure you have a good hi-fi or headphones before listening to this album, as the production, by Pink Floyd's very own David Gilmour, is simply gorgeous: thick, warm bass, punchy drums, crystal clear singing and guitar. Even when the songs aren't particularly memorable, your ears will be eating up the beautiful quality of the sound.
Sit back, and let yourself be transported to an imaginary world where country and folk music was actually invented in England by John Lennon. Unicorn – a terrible name for a band with lyrics grounded in reality – expertly lead the way through this melancholic yet uplifting landscape. The opener, Weekend, is perhaps a bit too straight-forward country, but the rest of the album is anything but. Ferry Boat is brilliant in its design, featuring huge dynamic shifts, and even a tempo change near the outro. Even more inexplicably, it's quite catchy too.
Highlights include the hypnotic title track Too Many Crooks, with lyrics lying somewhere between Yes, Robert Wyatt and their own Lennon-esque melancholic blend. Floyd fans will be pleased to hear Gilmour playing pedal steel guitar in the outro. I knew that Gilmour played on the record, but I was confused when I heard the subsequent track Bullseye Bill, a track about their cantankerous road manager with all the energy of PFM and King Crimson. The guitar solo at the end of the track is nearly identical to that heard on The Wall, so I had presumed it was this track that the Floyd man played on.
Disco Dancer, not nearly as peppy as the title, nonetheless makes for a good single track, with a solid beat and a singable, if dodgy-sounding chorus. The final highlight, however, is No Way Out of Here, a country track that turns into full rock with layered vocals and a powerful outro. This would have worked well as the final track on the album, but instead, the band finish with the far worse country outtake In the Mood – nothing to do with the Rush track.
Esoteric's reissue is once again exemplary, featuring an excellent essay by American fanboy David DiSanzo, several great bonus tracks and all the original artwork, with a couple of minor caveats. Firstly, the exclusion of the US artwork, which would have helped to explain DiSanzo's point about the poor marketing. Secondly, the band photo collage from either side of the original inner sleeve has been replicated in the booklet, but has been chopped up to be spread across four double pages, with some minor cropping. Hardly a big complaint, but some fans might like to know about this.
It's surprising to find myself stoked about an album where I've used the word 'country' so many times in my review, but Unicorn's take is truly refreshing, and with production help from such a high-profile star, they were hardly likely to go far wrong. Great release, Esoteric, but could we have some more prog, please?

Lion Bites: Isaiah 43:18-19 – implode or explode!
We in a time where the 'new' has becoming a 'bigger new' than we could ever have imagined in days past. So many things are changing in the world: politically, financially, medical advances and so on. Particularly in the church things are changing – some even are disappearing and others are emerging.
Are there things in your life which are imploding – producing no fruit and coming to an end? These are the 'former things'. Seek the Holy Spirit and ask what the 'new things' are which He is waiting to explode into your life: new blessings, new relationships and new opportunities.

ABS application bottleneck as just three make it through to decision phase in six months
Posted by Neil Rose
Approval mechanism: decision phase only begins when application fee is paid
Just three alternative business structure (ABS) applicants made it through to the decision phase over the past six months, with 167 still going through the application process, new figures from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) have shown.
Its third-quarter performance report revealed that it received just one completed stage 2 application during those three months, along with a further 55 incomplete application forms.
In the second quarter of 2012, there were only two completed applications, with a further 76 incomplete forms submitted. In the first quarter of 2012, when the SRA opened its doors to applications, 72 completed forms were received.
An application is deemed complete when the SRA says it has enough information from the applicant on which to base a decision and then invoices for the application fee. This is the point at which the SRA has six months – extendable by a further three months – to decide whether to grant the licence.
There is no time limit for the period between submitting the stage 2 application and it being accepted as complete.
With 39 ABS licences now issued – including five for Irwin Mitchell – it means there are 167 applications working their way through the system, including several that must be close to a decision.
The SRA report said: "The number of interested applicants continues to grow, which is encouraging for the long term growth and competition within the legal services market. The majority of applications involve firms which are already regulated, with only a minority being non-regulated or new start up firms.
"The personal injury market remains a particularly popular area for investment. We are seeing interest in licensed body status from other professional practices and look forward to being able to grant licenses in this area of the market. We continue to engage with all types of applicant as part of our pre-application engagement activity."
In other statistics revealed by the report, the number of firms shut down by the SRA in the year to 30 September fell by more than a third on the previous 12 months, from 61 to 39, while the level of outstanding claims against the Compensation Fund – which provides redress for clients who have lost money due their solicitor's dishonesty or failure to account – continues to fall sharply. It is now £88m, having reached a peak of £225m at the end of 2011.
The performance report also updated the current position on the roll-out of supervision. There are currently 2,850 firms/entities assigned to a named supervisor and 197 assigned to a relationship manager. The remainder are subject to oversight and monitoring plus engagement via thematic work.
There are four current themes:
Equality and diversity – the SRA is undertaking a programme of 100 visits to a sample of firms to gain a better understanding of the embedding of principle 9 and chapter 2 of the Handbook and to identify barriers and obstacles.
Financial stability – the SRA is identifying and writing to firms that may be facing financial stability issues, undertaking targeted visits where appropriate.
Conveyancing – the SRA has completed 100 visits to a sample of firms carrying out predominantly conveyancing work and is in the process of looking at the outcomes of those visits, with a report due this year.
Stamp duty land tax (SDLT) – the SRA has engaged with firms that have worked on or continue to undertake SDLT mitigation schemes. The SRA has previously published an SDLT warning notice, which includes a list of some of the factors which may be relevant in a firm deciding if a SDLT scheme is in the interests of the client(s).

Alcombright Wins Third Term; Younger Council Elected
By Tammy Daniels & John Durkan
iBerkshires Staff
02:30PM / Tuesday November 05, 2013
Definitely opposing views.
One sign, but a big one.
Alcombright supporters gather around the mayor at Mediterra.

Applause at Mediterra.
New Councilor Benjamin Lamb.
Nancy Bullett, left, and Kate Hanley Merrigan share a laugh.
The mayor's mother, Bernice "Red" Alcombright, said an Alcombright hasn't lost a race in 50 years.
Mayor Richard Alcombright won a third term for mayor on Tuesday night.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Mayor Richard Alcombright decisively won a third term on Tuesday night, calling for unity and saying it was "time to move this forward."
Alcombright polled 2,149 votes to challenger Robert M. Moulton Jr.'s 1,479, winning about 60 percent of ballots cast.
This election, even more than Alcombright's 2009 victory, was a changing of the old guard.
Along with returning the mayor to office, voters also swept a new, far younger slate of councilors into City Hall by large margins.
Kate Hanley Merrigan, 34, led the pack with 2,517 votes. The four incumbents running were also returned — Keith Bona, Lisa Blackmer, Nancy Bullett and Jennifer Breen. Newcomers elected were Josh Moran, Benjamin Lamb, Wayne Wilkinson and Eric Buddington.
"I'm both proud and humbled to be elected to this third term," said Alcombright to cheering supporters, many clad in green, at Mediterra.
"Well, you always hope to win, we didn't win. We got the message out there. It doesn't resonate I guess with the voters. But we believed in it we were passionate about it," said Moulton, at a quieter gathering at the American Legion. "Dick's an awful nice fellow and we lost and he won and people get what they vote for and that's the American way and I can live with that."
Alcombright said he'd spoken with his longtime friend and hoped to get together with him in the coming months to see if they hash out some of their differences. He thank the former city councilor for running a great race, along with every candidate who had put themselves out for a chance to serve their city.
"It takes great courage to put yourself and your family into the public arena these days," he said.
Left out of the running for council were David Robbins, Robert Cardimino and Michael Hernandez. Returned to office were School Committee incumbents Heather Boulger, John Hockridge and Mark Moulton and McCann School Committee incumbents Paul A. Gigliotti and Gary F. Rivers.
But he wasn't holding back on who he thought his real opponent was: The last three elections have been "literally about John Barrett," whom he ousted from the corner office in 2009 and who has supported the last two mayoral challengers, Moulton very publicly.
"I have run each time against John Barrett and I have now beat him three times," he said to applause. "I'm hoping that three is the charm."
He called for an end to negativity and challenged residents "to pull the rope in the same direction, those of us in green, those of us red, and yes, those of us that are still in blue."
It was time to stop petty politics that slow things down, said Alcombright, saying that the city needed to grow to solve its financial situation.
"We've got to stop this, we've just got to stop this," he said afterward. "We have a community that wants to move forward. We've got a new young energetic council.
"It's time ... it's my time and it's our time to move this city forward."
"I think there are going to be some exciting projects and we don't have to worry about someone trying to knock it down," said Bona, who added that he thought running on negativity doesn't win elections — or aligning with city's longtime former mayor.
One of those new councilors, Moran, said he's looking forward to "positive discussions with people who don't necessarily agree" but who can work together to compromise.
"They might have their own avenue how to address an issue," he said, adding it was time to overcome the city's negativity. "It's going to be really fun to hear people say we want to go after that. ... That is our city and this is how we're going to do it."
Buddington, who squeaked into ninth place by 11 votes (unofficially) on this third council try, said he was thrilled to have a chance to represent citizens. "It's so gratifying to live in a city where everyone is pleasant and civil ... with some exceptions."
Moulton plans on keeping busy with his television show and his businesses and not to re-enter the public arena any time soon.
"It was a little hectic but I'll tell you I met a lot of great people and we got out there, going door to door, every weekend for the last five, six weeks," Moulton said. "We talked to literally hundreds of people and whether they were for us or against us everybody was courteous... and we got our issues out there, and people I never knew before that was a positive thing on this campaign."
Moulton said Alcombright will have a tough job in the upcoming term working with a depleted budget.
"He's going to have his plate full just like I knew I would have my plate full."
The mayor said as much, and that he'd been upfront on addressing the city's financial woes and crime issues. No politician wants to see taxes go up, he said, "but you have to meet your budget."
"I think mostly people are seeing the growth, I think they're seeing the unemployment rate coming down, I think they're seeing the good things we're doing," he gave as reasons for his re-election."
But, he said, it wasn't about him but about everyone who'd been working with him. It was about unity, said Alcombright.
There was agreement among those celebrating at his victory party.
"I think bottom line though, it all comes down to having a council that's strong and visionary, and there are a lot of visionaries on this new council," said resident Kurt Kolok.
Turnout continued to be steady all day, with more than 30 percent of voters heading to the polls. At St. Elizabeth's Parish Center, some 42 percent of the voters in Wards 1, 2, 3 and 5 had cast ballots by 5:30.
Both mayoral candidates said they felt good about the voters they'd seen and spoken to at the polls.
"It's been a great day, I think voter turnout has been pretty good," said the incumbent, Richard Alcombright. "I fell pretty comfortable right now, seeing folks who are voting. I seem to be getting a good reaction."
The challenger, Robert M. Moulton Jr., on the other side of the driveway, also was feeling a good response.
"We've talked to hundreds of people, people have been good, it's been a great community thing," he said. "It's very heartening to see the community come together like this no matter who wins."
Both said at this point, it was up the voters.
Michael Hernandez and Eric Buddington were hoping the voters will swing their way this time around. Both have been up for City Council seats before and need to get into the top nine vote-getters of the dozen running.
"I feel great, I feel good I'm optimistic I'll win a seat," said Hernandez, who noted the large and steady turnout. "It's been larger than I would have thought."
Buddington, who spent much of the day at the polls with his young son, Solomon, said he didn't like to guess.
"But it's sure been a nice day out, warm and not too breezy," he said, and referred to a collegial atmosphere among the candidates and supporters. "This section has been very warm and welcoming to everybody. There's been no strife in this part ... we've been very well behaved."
Fellow council candidate Cardimino had reportedly continued to clash with police over his attempts to make contact with voters.
Candidates and supporters line the sidewalk around St. Elizabeth's Parish Center.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Voter turnout is described as "steady" at St. Elizabeth's Parish Center early this afternoon.
Candidates and supporters lined the street in front the polling location for Wards 1, 2, 3 and 5 in the chilled air, waving at drivers.
Election worker Ron O'Brien pegged the turnout so far at about 10 to 12 percent, or a little over that.
"It's been steady but not a big crowd," he said. "There have been no lines except when we opened."
The expectation is for 30 to 40 percent of the city's more than 8,000 registered voters to cast ballots. O'Brien pointed to a mayoral race with candidates of very opposing views as well as the slate of very new candidates running for City Council as good reasons for a larger turnout.
Last election saw a turnout of 42 percent; polls are open to 7 p.m.
Some of the candidates outside said they'd been getting good responses from voters.
"A lot of people have shaken my hand," said City Council candidate Robert Cardimino, who was frustrated when officers told him he could no longer reach over a low wall to shake hands with voters. "I can't shake hands with you ... the police told me I can't, " he said as a voter reached across to him.
Cardimino said he called Police Director Michael Cozzaglio to find out why shaking hands was a problem.
