892227 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chodov%20%28Sokolov%20District%29 | Chodov (Sokolov District) | Chodov (; ) is a town in Sokolov District in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. It has a population of about 13,000 people.
History
Chodov was originally a Slavic settlement. Its name comes from an old Slavic term "choda", which means a road. The Slavic colonisation was not successful and in the Middle Ages this part of Bohemia was colonised by Germans. In the 12th–13th century Chodov belongs to the monastery in Waldsassen and in the 14th–17th century is ruled locally from Loket. In 1894 Chodov is declared a town and gets the right to use its own coat of arms.
From 1938 to 1945 it was one of the municipalities in Sudetenland. Until the end of World War II the town was inhabited practically only by Germans, who were exiled from Czechoslovakia after the war. In the '60s a big chemical factory was built 4 km from Chodov in Vřesová and then new districts were built for the Czech and Slovak workers who moved here.
Demography
Sights
The most significant is Church of St. Lawrence, built by the constructor Brauenbock according to the plans of the architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. On the main shrine there is a painting by the famous Czech-German artist Peter Johann Brandl. In front of the church we find a 17th-century statue of St. Sebastian and on the main square a statue of the Virgin Mary (1675). The other church in the town belongs to the Protestants, Czech Brethren. Close to the gate of the Protestant church there is a monument to war victims. It was re-erected in 1998 exactly 100 years after its first erection.

Jungle Awakens, Creeping Winter, Howling Peaks, Hidden Depths, and Echoing Void has final bosses. The Flames of the Nether is the only DLC in the game without a final boss, because of a lack of the Orb of Dominance. The final boss in the Echoing Void DLC is the true final boss of Minecraft Dungeons, because it is the true final victim of the Orb of Dominance.

892262 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%20Burrow | Joe Burrow | Joseph Lee Burrow (born December 10, 1996) is an American quarterback who plays for the NFL's Cincinnati Bengals. He started his college career as a backup quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes, before transferring to Louisiana State University (LSU). During his senior year at LSU, he passed for over 5,600 yards and 60 touchdowns, and was awarded the Heisman Trophy. He also led the Tigers to an undefeated season and College Football National Championship.
After college, he was drafted first overall by the Bengals in 2020.
Early life
Joseph Lee Burrow was born in Ames, Iowa on December 10, 1996, the son of Robin and Jim Burrow. Jim is a former football player and coach whose career lasted over 40 years. Burrow was born in Ames when his father was on the staff for the Iowa State Cyclones. Joe's family is notably involved in sports. According to a 2019 Sports Illustrated story, "the Burrow athletic lineage dates back nearly a century."
From 2011–2014, Burrow attended Athens High School in The Plains, Ohio, leading the school to three straight playoff appearances and the school's first seven playoff victories in school history. During his high school career, he passed for 11,416 yards and 157 touchdowns, while also rushing for 2,067 yards with 27 rushing touchdowns. He was awarded the state's Mr. Football Award and Gatorade Player of the Year award as a senior in 2014. He and his Bulldog teammates went 14–1 that season. During high school, Burrow also played basketball at a high level and was named first-team all-state at point guard his senior year. Burrow was rated as a four-star football recruit, and was the eighth-highest ranked dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2015 according to the 247SportsmComposite. On May 27, 2014, he committed to Ohio State University to play football for the Buckeyes.
College career
Ohio State (2015–2017)
Joe Burrow played college football at Ohio State University for the Buckeyes. He was a redshirt freshman in 2015, meaning he did not play his first year of college. He was then a backup to J. T. Barrett for the next two years. During that time, he played in 10 games, completing 29-of-39 pass attempts for 287 yards and two touchdowns. Dwayne Haskins was then named the starting quarterback for the Buckeyes. Because of this, Burrow decided to transfer to Louisiana State University (LSU) to play for the Tigers. Burrow graduated from Ohio State in three years with a degree in consumer and family financial services, and would be immediately eligible as a graduate transfer.
LSU (2018–2019)
In his first year as a Tiger, in 2018, Burrow was named the starter as a redshirt junior. He earned 2 SEC Player of the Week honors during the season. The Tigers finished the season with a 10–3 record. Burrow has 2,894 passing yards and 16 passing touchdowns to 5 interceptions. While rushing the football, Burrow had 399 yards and 7 touchdowns.
The following season, Burrow had what many sportswriters and football experts described as the best season by a college quarterback. In a blowout win against Texas A&M, Burrow set the single-season Southeastern Conference (SEC) record in passing yards and tied the single-season record for passing touchdowns. The following week, Burrow led the Tigers to a 37–10 win in the SEC Championship Game against the Georgia Bulldogs, securing the Tigers' place in the College Football Playoff. He was named the game's Most Valuable Player (MVP) and during the win, Burrow set the single-season SEC record for passing touchdowns. Later, on December 14, 2019, Burrow was awarded the 2019 Heisman Trophy, winning the award by a record-margin of votes.
In the playoff semifinal game at the 2019 Peach Bowl, Burrow led the Tigers to a 63–28 win over the fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners. In the win, Burrow completed 29-of-39 pass attempts for 493 passing yards and seven passing touchdowns, to go along with five rushes for 22 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown. Burrow's eight total touchdowns were an FBS bowl game record and SEC single game record, and were recorded in just over one half of play before Burrow was rested. Analysts have called Burrow's performance one of the greatest in college football history.
In the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship Game against Clemson, Burrow threw for 463 yards and five passing touchdowns. Burrow also ran for a touchdown in the game and was named the game's offensive MVP, as he led LSU to a 42–25 victory. With the win, LSU finished with an undefeated 15–0 season.
He finished his 2019 season with 60 passing touchdowns, which set the single-season NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) record. Burrow's record has since been passed by Bailey Zappe of Western Kentucky, who threw for 62 touchdowns in 2021. Burrow also set a new FBS single-season record in combined passing and rushing touchdowns, with 65. Zappe tied this record in 2021. Burrow also finished the year with 5,671 passing yards, which is tied for fourth all-time in an FBS season. His passer rating of 202 for the season was also a record until it was surpassed by Mac Jones in 2020.
Statistics
Professional career
Cincinnati Bengals (2020–present)
Pre-Draft
After his first year at LSU, Burrow was not expected to be a first-round NFL Draft pick. However, after his senior season, Burrow became the heavy favorite to be picked first overall. A Draft Network analysis of Burrow's skill set before the draft complimented Burrow for his "elite football intelligence," but stated Burrow doesn't have "elite arm strength and throwing power." Their final evaluation stated:
Coming off the greatest season in SEC quarterback history, Joe Burrow features a high-level skill set with the makeup of being a dynamic franchise quarterback. His blend of accuracy, ability to handle pressure, mechanics and mental processing skills are all bluechip traits that make him NFL ready in Year One. Burrow may lack elite throwing power, but it's a minor knock in an overall impressive package.
2020
The Cincinnati Bengals would indeed draft Burrow first overall in the 2020 NFL Draft. Burrow signed his four-year rookie contract, worth $36.1 million, on July 31, 2020. During the off-season and the preseason, Burrow was thought to be the favorite to win the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
Burrow was the only rookie quarterback from his draft class to start in the first week of the 2020 season. In his first game, Burrow threw for 193 passing yards and an interception, and rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown in a 16–13 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. In their next game, the Bengals went against the Cleveland Browns. In the game, Burrow threw his first career passing touchdown, a 23-yard pass to tight end C. J. Uzomah. The Bengals lost the game 35–30, but Burrow set an NFL rookie record for pass completions, with 37. In Week 4 of the season, Burrow earned his first career win as he led the Bengals over the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was also his third straight game throwing for 300 or more passing yards, making him the first rookie quarterback to do so.
In the second half of a Week 11 game against the Washington Football Team, Burrow was hit while throwing a pass. This caused tears to his ACL and MCL in his left knee, among other damage to his PCL and meniscus. He was later placed on injured reserve, ending his rookie season. Even while injured, Burrow was noted to continue preparing for games by watching game film. He finished his rookie season with a 2–7–1 record as a starter, 2,688 passing yards, and 13 passing touchdowns to 5 interceptions. He also rushed for 142 yards and 3 touchdowns during the season.
2021
In Week 4, Burrow completed 25-of-32 passes for 348 yards and two touchdowns in a 24–21 win over the Jaguars. His performance earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week. Against the division rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 16, Burrow completed 37-of-46 passes as he threw for a career-high and franchise record 525 passing yards. Burrow also threw for four touchdowns and finished the game with a career-high 143.2 passer rating, as his strong performance in the game helped the Bengals win 41–21.
During the season, Burrow's play was noted by football coaches and sportswriters as being impressive and having improved greatly. In December 2021, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer wrote:
The best areas of Burrow's game in college are becoming his standout traits in the NFL. In 2019, Burrow impressed the Bengals with his competitiveness, his football IQ, his accuracy, his ability to move in the pocket and his ability to make plays outside of the pocket. For every quality the coaching staff saw on Burrow's college tape, there's a throw from the last month that highlights it.
The Bengals finished the regular season with a 10–7 record. They also finished as the winners of their AFC North Division. Burrow finished the regular season completing a league-leading 70.4% of his passes. He had 366 pass completions on 520 attempts for 4,611 yards. His 8.9 yards per pass attempt also led the league. Burrow threw 34 touchdowns to 14 interceptions and finished with a 108.3 passer rating.
He led the Bengals to their first playoff appearance since 2015. In the playoffs, Burrow helped the Bengals defeat the Las Vegas Raiders in the Wild Card Round. This was the Bengals' first playoff win since 1990. The next weekend, Burrow led the Bengals to a road win over the Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. This win marked the first road win in Bengals franchise history.

If the tunnel is not deep underground, the simplest way to construct it is an open put. A hole is dug, and the walls at the side are built. At the end, the tunnel gets a roof.
An alternative to this is to first bulid the walls and the roof, and then remove the material as needed. This is also known as cut-and-cover.
Especially when building tunnels in mountains, or deeper underground there are special tunnel-boring machines. They bulid tunnel with a cicular cross-section.

892367 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel%20import | Parallel import | When a company imports a product from abroad, and sells it at home, even though the manufacturer sells the product as well, this is known as parallel import. Such products are real, they are not counterfeit. These imports are legal, but they happen without the permission of the company who sells these products. Very often, they are called grey product.
Parallel importing is done for different reasons:
The product has been adapted to the specific market, and the versions are different.
The price is different. The company who does the parallel import buys the product at a lower price abroad, and will sell it at a price that is higher, but still below the price of the product at home.
Some people are able to obtain a better price, for example by buying abroad, or avoiding taxes. The idea is to give something back to those people who cannot get these benefits.
In the case of drugs, parallel importing may reduce the price of the drug, by introducing competition.

In 1854, as Commander-in-Chief of theEast Indies and China Station, Stirling signed Britain's first Anglo-Japanese Friendship Treaty. Stirling showed diplomatic skill and was selected for many important missions. Stirling also led the attack in Western Australia on a group of about seventy Bindjareb men, women and children. This is now known as the Pinjarra massacre.
Life
Stirling entered the Royal Navy at age 12, As a midshipman, he saw action in the Napoleonic Wars. When he was 21, he was given command of the 28-gun sloop . In the War of 1812 between the US and the UK, The Brazen carried the news of the end of that war to Fort Bowyer. It also took the British troops that had captured the fort back to England. When he ruturned to the West Indies, Stirling made two surveys of the Venezuelan coast. He reported on the information about of the Spanish government and local revolutionary factions. this information was later used by the British when dealing with these groups.
In his second command, , he carried supplies and coinage to Australia. He also we to secretly learn about other nations' interest in the region and explore locations for British settlements. He is remembered for his exploration of the Swan River. On 30 December 1828, he was made Lieutenant-Governor of the colony-to-be. He founded the city of Perth and the port of Fremantle. He also was in charge of the development of the surrounding area. On 4 March 1831m he was made Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the new territory, Western Australia. He remained at that post until in 1838 he returned to his naval career.
In October 1834 Stirling led a group of twenty-five police, soldiers and settlers against about seventy Bindjareb men, women and children on the Murray River. This was done partly because of several murders and thefts. This attack used rifles and bayonets against spears. Itis known as the Pinjarra Massacre and sometimes the Battle of Pinjarra. An uncertain number of Aboriginal men, women and children were killed during this attack. Stirling said 15 males killed. John Septimus Roe siad it was 15–20. An unidentified eyewitness said it was 25–30 including 1 woman and several children with probably more floating down with the stream.
From 1840 to 1844, Stirling commanded the 80-gun . The ship he patrolled the Mediterranean. They were told to 'show the flag' and keep an eye on the French. In 1847, he was given command of the 120-gun ship . His first mission was to tale Her Majesty, Queen Adelaide on trips to Lisbon and Madeira and then back to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. After that, the Howe was assigned to the eastern Mediterranean.
Stirling's fifth and final command was as Commander in Chief of the China and the East Indies Station. His flag was flown on on 11 May 1854. Shortly afterwards news arrived that war had been declared on Russia. Stirling wanted to prevent Russian ships from using Japanese ports and causing trouble for allied shipping. After negotiations through the Nagasaki Magistrate, he signed a Treaty of Friendship with the Japanese. The treaty was endorsed by the British Government, but Stirling was criticised in the popular press for not finding and engaging with the Russian fleet.

It lives in the southeastern United States, from Illinois south to Florida and west to Texas. Human beings have also brought it to Puerto Rico.
Appearance
This frog has a pointed snout. It has two rows of vomerine teeth. Some fo these frogs have no stripes, but most have one yellow and white stripe down each side of the body. These frogs have yellow spots.
Home
This frog lives in swamps, marshes, sloughs, and the edges of lakes where grass grows in the water.
Threats
This frog is not endangered but there are fewer of them than there were because human beings change the places where they live. Human beings cut down trees for logging and build artificial lakes and ponds. Also, human beings brought the Cuban tree frog to the places where the American green tree frog lives.
Salt
Most amphibians die if they try to swim in seawater, but the American Green tree frog can live in water that has some salt. Scientists have found that the frog uses the chemical glycerol to do this. They also only stay tadpoles for a short time.
