Humans are unfortunately not the only ones who fall sick. If you don't take proper care, chances are high your Android device might as well fall sick and you'd end up having a device with reduced performance, more lags and data at risk. This is what we've been told for ages and to some extent its valid for computers, but does the same theory apply to smartphones? Let's find out if you really need an antivirus on your smartphone and by chance if you have one on your phone, let's have a look at it's working.
A virus is basically a software made by some evil minds somewhere in the world designed to do more bad than good. So a virus in short is an evil software which once in your device can access your files, expose those files to hackers, corrupt your files or alter the normal working of your system. They may occasionally be referred as spyware, malware, trojan, If you believe that viruses only affect computers and not smartphones, then you're wrong. These malware on an average affect upto 20 thousand devices daily and a recent report published by Kaspersky security comments about attacks on Android devices increasing tenfold.
Where do these Viruses Come from?
The primary source from where a virus enters your Android device is shockingly the Google Play Store. And that's because it's present on every Android device and it's the most used (to some extent reliable) place people go to download new apps to their system. A large number of applications are uploaded every day to the Play Store and the lack of proper policies and infrequent checks, make the Play Store an easy target.
A year back, Lookout found a malware network which posed as an advertising network and was spread across more than 32 apps on the Play Store which had been downloaded over 2 million times!
Mind you, the Play Store is not the only source. A virus can also get into your system when you download an app from an unreliable source, when you install an app from torrent, when you use a copy of a paid app which was available somewhere for free, when you use an unreliable custom ROM or when you leave your device's Bluetooth visible and accept files from strange devices (devices that automatically send you files when connected to Bluetooth usually found in malls and markets). WhatsApp groups are another source not many are aware of. Noticed messages which when opened hang your device? Contact file when stored changing names of all the contacts?
Viruses and risks come hand in hand!
They may damage the entire working of your system making it under-perform. These viruses can affect your browser changing the default search engine, the homepage, install other malware which can go undetected at times. In addition to that, they can also display annoying advertisements, imitate reputable sites like to cash in on your money, force install bloatware on your device, access your contacts and other private data and make it accessible to hackers. And of course, they also affect the performance of your device making it lag, reboot unevenly and force close.
Well you don't need to be scared, but there's definitely a need to worry. At the same time take precautions and avoid doing anything that could possible lead to a virus entering your device. Viruses and risks come hand in hand! They may damage the entire working of your system making it under-perform. These viruses can affect your browser changing the default search engine, the homepage, install other malware which can go undetected at times. In addition to that, they can also display annoying advertisements, imitate reputable sites like to cash in on your money, force install bloatware on your device, access your contacts and other private data and make it accessible to hackers. And of course, they also affect the performance of your device making even the device with tbe best configuration lag, reboot unevenly and force close.
Is There a Virus in My Device?
Well if your device has suddenly started to under-perform, if it reboots when it's not supposed to, when it lags often, when you see advertisements when you don't expect them to, when apps start to force close, when there are suspicious device administrators, when you notice apps which you didn't approve of installed on your device your device may be affected by a virus.
How to Keep Viruses Away?
Well here are some things you need to follow to keep viruses at bay.
Think twice before downloading an app to your device even if you're downloading an app from the Play Store, make sure to check the user reviews and ratings. If they're not satisfactory, better stay away.
Only install apps from credible developers.
Avoid using third-party app stores.
Don't accept Bluetooth file transfers from strangers.
Avoid using pirated apps and stay away from sites which offer paid apps for free. These apps usually come with some kinda malware.
Avoid installing apps from unknown sources unless you're sure it's a reliable source. To be safe keep the option to install apps from unknown sources off. You can do it by going to Settings -> Security -> Uncheck Unknown Sources.
Stay away from sites which offer pirated content not limited to paid apps. Sites which offer free music and movie downloads also force open ads and download APKs to your device.
Avoid installing an unreliable ROM.
Avoid giving superuser access to apps which you think don't require it.
Be careful while choosing device administrators.
My device is already affected with a virus. What should I do?
Well you should consider getting rid of all the apps you think are suspicious. Many times uninstalling an application should help. But if not, go deeper and remove any device administrators not appointed by you.
You can also consider installing an antivirus. But if I were in your situation, I'd simply factory reset my phone; of course after backing up the data I require.
Should You Use an Antivirus App?
Well, if you follow the above rules to keep your Android device secure, you don't really need an antivirus app on your device. But if you don't and if you carelessly install apps from unreliable sources if you often download pirated content, you should well use an antivirus. Now please don't use a pirated copy of an antivirus. It'll probably get in more viruses than before and never detect them!
Google's chief security engineer for Android, Adrian Ludwig states that an average Android user doesn't need to install an antivirus app and the threat posed by Android malware has been hyped.
This suggests that mobile antivirus companies are just trying to sell their products which are not useful to majority of Android users.
When I bought my first high-end phone three years back, I also bought Kaspersky Internet Security from the Play Store feeling an urge to protect my device. I used it for the first 6 months, then my device started to lag after which I uninstalled it. And even today my device works well without an antivirus. I did receive some extra features like cloud backup, wiping your devices' data if you lose it, finding the location of your device, but that's not what I expect from an antivirus. For me an antivirus is simply a software which keeps viruses away and nothing else. All the other features which usually come along are of no use to me. Unlike Windows antivirus, Android security apps don't remove the malware from your device. Once they detect the malware, you're supposed to get rid of it manually. So that's another reason why I don't use an antivirus on my smartphone. So if I'm to be asked, you can keep your device secure by simply being sensible. You don't really need an antivirus.
Should You use a Free Antivirus?
Well, not if you hate advertisements. Most free antivirus software are supported by advertisements and if you're not fond of them (who is?), better not use them. And like I mentioned above, advertisements are to some extent also responsible for malware entering your system. If an antivirus itself helps viruses enter your system, there's nothing worse I can imagine. So should you use a premium antivirus app?
Like I said before, if you act sensibly making use of all your common senses you neither need a free antivirus nor a paid one! A paid antivirus app usually offers the same features with some free extras which make no sense to me. I'd not want my antivirus to help me find my device when it's lost or to help me lock apps. I'd expect it to stick to the primary feature it's meant for i.e. to keep viruses at bay and my device secure. Still if you want to try an antivirus, some that I recommend are Kaspersky Internet Security, Avast Mobile Security, CM Security, Avira antivirus, Eset mobile security, 360 Mobile security and TrendMicro security. You can check a complete list of credible antivirus here.
Do you use an antivirus on your smartphone and how useful is it according to you? Do you experience any lags?

This is another of Maetamm's animations situated in the comfort of his bed. Maetamm appears to be battling with the mundane spiral of life, as suggested in the title, whilst looking up at the hypnotic blades of a room fan. The viewer shifts between the dialogue text, his figure meekly gazing up and the lengthy pauses of looming fan. The audio of the spinning fan is like a ticking clock as he undergoes a series of emotions and characters as therapy for ill feeling.

Week 5. Monday 14th August – Sunday 20th August 2006
The joy of visas. We spent Monday to Thursday in the unexciting town of Erzurum waiting for our Iranian visa to come through. Adding to the joy was the fact that (to quote the great Scotsman Billy Connolly) my arse was in tatters behind me. It seems 2 weeks of solid kebab eating finally caught up with us. After a brief sojourn into the Georgian Mountains in the north east of Turkey and another day or so wait, we headed with some excitement for the Iranian border. We stayed at the truck stop town of Dogubayazit for the night but slept terribly as the warden of the area blew his whistle every ten minutes at God knows what. Waking early on Friday morning, we dumped our remaining booze into a bin just before getting to the border – the assurance of a prison sentence proving an ample deterrent to smuggling alcohol into Iran.
Any trepidation at the hazardous border crossing was soon put to rest – our carnet was dealt with very quickly and we were across the border in an hour and a half. We changed the last of our Turkish currency at the tiny town of Bazargan, and this also gifted the locals the opportunity to ogle at our strange machine and try and sell us things. One tired and sweaty man in particular tried to sell me the shirt he was wearing!
It was in Bazargan that we were thwarted in our first attempt to stock up on cheap fuel ($10 a fill up) as the station had no petrol. In the second we were successful but the attendant demanded a t-shirt as part of 'Irish kindness' for filling our Land Rover with petrol – despite of course paying him for the fill up in the first place. A very strange place this Iran. Our first road-sign was in Farsi, but the second, in English, read "Tabriz 250km, Tehran 850km". A very big place this Iran!
Ten minutes after parking our Landy in Tabriz, an ex-soldier named Erfan delighted in showing us the sights. Speaking only a little English, the quick tour of Tabriz included a shut 35km Bazaar and the massive Jameh Mosque that we were not allowed to enter. While having a quick drink at the closed Blue Mosque, it dawned on us that Fridays weren't the best days for sightseeing! Over a cold can of coke we were then invited to Erfan's wedding in 2 years time and to meet his brethren in the park for a game of football. This turned into an impromptu sing-along using upturned plastic tubs as drums and the young boys singing popular Iranian tunes. Far from being the axis of evil – this park full of families enjoying picnics, with young people playing football instead of drinking and young women smiling coyly from behind their headscarfs seemed like the garden of innocence.
On our way out of Tabriz we got lost in the back streets of Tabriz for 2 hrs and then hit a low balcony with the top of the Landy! Fortunately bricks and mortar are softer than cast-iron Land Rover. Understandably the owners, a laid back middle-aged father and a screaming mother and daughter, were not too pleased but quickly grasped that we couldn't understand a Farsi word they said and soon waved us on. Result!
We ended up camping in a lay-by on the periphery of Tabriz only to be woken at half six by the local noisy special branch (not sure if this is a reference to their intellect!) pounding at our front doors and demanding to be let in. They wrongly suspected we had been taking narcotics and not looking our best in the morning did little to help our cause! After a thorough search of the vehicle they arrested about £2 in Romanian lei's and carted them off to the nearest sweathouse. They advised that it was unsafe to camp in Iran because of the ever-expanding drug trade, but at that point we were more worried about the police than any other criminals! That was our first 24hrs!
Despite the initial trepidation, we found ourselves in the company of an extremely hospitable people. Brief visits to the Caspian coast city of Rasht and the ultra conservative Qom were inter-spliced with trips to Masuleh and Qazvin, both only warming us delightfully this wonderful country.
The rock-hugging village of Masuleh introduced us to the dear Abbas, a local jolly electrical engineer that after hearing we had nowhere to stay kindly offered to open up his workshop car park for us. He also entrusted us with the keys to his office so that we could get water and make use of the toilet facilities. We were bowled over by his kindness and he requested absolutely nothing in return.
However, the real unadulterated hospitality of the Islamic Republic was shown in it's full light in the city of Qazvin. On our way to visit the excitingly named Castles of the Assassins near the city, we got stupendously lost and had to ask for directions at an oasis of an eatery. Seeing our plight, a truck driver named Aziz phoned his English speaking son-in-law to communicate where the correct road lay and more importantly where in town we could get a minor fix for the missing hub-cap. As it was getting dark, he kindly offered to take us to the mechanic himself but unfortunately they were closing up as we arrived. There was only one thing for it: the family's English teacher was summoned and we were to be guests at his luxurious house for the evening. Aziz's four daughters delighted in plying us with questions about the west and our opinion of Iran. After a lovely shower, masses of fresh of fruit and a good helping of fried chicken, we slept soundly for the first time in days.
In addition, after a hearty Iranian breakfast of bread, cheese, honey and yoghurt, we were driven to the mechanic's and the problem fixed in one hour, with Aziz actually picking up the bill as well. An amazing man indeed to which we owe a huge debt of gratitude.
It was quickly becoming clear to us that anything we thought we knew about Iran was complete fallacy. Most people are no more religious than people in the west and in fact are a lot more liberal in their views than many people I know. People are keen to express the fact that they do not want to be enemies with anyone and are very careful to distinguish between the government and normal people when discussing politics. Their generosity and hospitality to strangers is an integral part of their culture and is almost overwhelming to experience. To many of us a stranger is someone to be suspicious of. To Iranians a stranger is a friend they haven't met yet.

The Last Thing you Need to Read on Mental Health ft. Sushant Singh Rajput
by Apoorv updated August 10, 2020, 10:49 am 1k Views 50 Votes
It was one damn lazy noon, much like any other one since the pandemic. With "Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh" song in the background and cooler on, I was reading a book, "English, August", which is about Agastya who has landed into the Indian Administrative Service and now, when all of his friends are going abroad for further studies and jobs, he is going to Madna, "the hottest town in India".
Imagine a privileged young man from Delhi worrying about extremely trivial things like… like drinking unboiled water. Just imagine what kind of mental trauma he must be going through.
Anyways, this isn't about him or about the movie I watched last night, "Lost in Translation" where Charlotte (female protagonist) has come to Tokyo along with his photographer husband on a business trip. It's been two years of their marriage, but Charlotte's not sure who it is she married, or why. She's tired, bored, lonely, and… there's this one scene where she calls her friend from Tokyo to tell her that she's not doing well and needs to talk but the response she gets, brought tears in my eyes.
Just imagine you're in a city where hardly anyone speaks your language and you've no one to talk to. You're lost indeed!
But wait… This isn't about that either.
It's about how, at around 3, while I was reading, I got a call from my best friend who shared the news of Sushant Singh Rajput's demise.
I, at first thought of it as some kind of a joke but then, I saw a WhatsApp message notification of a friend sharing the same news. I still couldn't believe it, the least to be able to process it.
After a while, when Papa came into my room, I shared the news with him and his reply was, "Arey, ise kis baat ki tension hogi? Sab kuch toh tha iske paas". I found a lot of people sharing many such similar thoughts on Twitter.
"MENTAL HEALTH", which almost every 2 in 3 Instagram page or celebrity is talking about right now is nothing but a mere "Bimari" for us. We don't even consider it, let alone considering it CRUCIAL.
We hardly listen to anyone and even if we do, all we say at last is, "Arey kya itni choti si baat pe tension le raha hai". Do you see the problem? We compare the wrongs!
What we all need to understand is that a person drowned in 6ft water is as vulnerable as someone drowned in 50ft. You just can't compare depression!
The reason why I told you about the characters of the book and the movie at the start is because I want you to feel the urgency in the normality. 'Coz from another frame of reference, a lot of people would only see Agastya getting the job and Charlotte living in a whole new city.
I have a lot of thoughts in my mind right now but I don't think I would be able to express any of it perfectly. The news of Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide has really hit me hard and I don't know how am I supposed to process it. I don't think it's appropriate to say this but I had a dream of having a conversation with him one day and now… Alas!
R.I.P. Sushant.
2020 is indeed the worst year and has been snatching away a lot from us but it's also giving us some really hard lessons in disguise. The question is, "Are you sorted enough to understand?"
Talk to your friends, siblings, cousins, and even your parents. Break this mental health stigma and https://www.parentous.com/valium-no-prescription/ have that uncomfortable conversation now.
It's not a bad thing to feel depressed, so please, express your feelings. Tell if you're not okay. Talk to your friends, family, or anyone who you think cares, and if you don't feel comfortable talking to anyone, then just contact me (knowing that a stranger will never judge you). I'll listen!

Located on the Yxlan island in Sweden, Sweden villa has been really fascinating. Sweden villa or Villa Wallin (that is how the Architects called it) is a masterpiece of Erik Andersson Architects. Villa Wallin design is perfect with accurate approximation in every detail. The villa has length about 18 meters, depth about 6 meters, and height about 6 meters. Villa Wallin has sloping roof design that seems like classic homes in past. The design of Villa Walin is a combination of simple exterior home design and modern interior home design.
Villa Wallin is located in the lush forest with some pine trees and spruces around. The Villa Wallin architectural design is so impressive. The exterior is dominated by black in contrast with the interior that is dominated by white. All windows in this villa have façade windows with same appearances. It uses square form windows. All furniture in this villa use modern furniture design. The villa is composed by sitting space, sleeping space, master bathroom and sauna. The sitting space is composed by living room, dining room, and the open kitchen in one space. Even the interior is dominated by white; it also has black composition both in furniture design and in interior design. For example, the fabric sofa in the living space uses black color and the bathroom uses black interior. The bathroom uses black tile for covering every part in the bathroom from walls to floor, ceiling and the window. This villa also features outdoor plunge pool with the water heater that can be used in winter.
Villa Wallin has creative design inspiration. The black and white composition fit with the architectural design of this villa. Do you agree with this conclusion? Please tell us about your opinion by filling the comment box below.


For me, one of the best times to travel in any provinces of the Philippines is during celebration of local festivities. Sure, it would be a challenge to find an accommodation and everything is much expensive than usual but I tell you it is definitely worth it. For this year, I was lucky enough to have seen some of the best local festivals in the Philippines. When we visited Antique, we didn't realized it was also the season for Ati - atihan Festival in Kalibo Aklan. On the way to returning back to Manila, we made sure to squeeze in some time for us to share the street dancing and have some fancy colorful tattoos painted on our faces. While I never had a chance to blog about it, I was able to do a travel guide to Kawa Bath in Antique. You can click HERE to read about WHAT TO DO, WHERE TO STAY AND TOUR CONTACTS in PANDAN & TIBIAO, Antique. My most recent is joining the Kadayawan Festival in Davao. You can click HERE to learn more about it.
Would like to credit Mon Villaverde of Terrific Traveler blog for taking photos via my Canon DSLR camera, Perry Sumakote of Explora.ph for the opportunity to join this trip and Bernard Guerero of Local Government Unit of Paoay Tourism Office who welcomed us. Bernard already said yes to me as an official participant of this trip before I agreed to represent Explora as the writer for this festival. This review was written different from the one I have contributed and posted many months before I submitted my entry to Explora.
This post is dedicated to Guling Guling Festival held every first quarter of the year in Paoay, Ilocos Norte. It wasn't my first time to visit Ilocos Norte but I would say that it was the best trip ever because I learned so much about this town because of celebrating Guling Guling Festival with them. Every year, Guling Guling Festival is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday. By the way, the word "guling" is an Ilocano word that means "to smear" and it is the only known local version of Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras Festival in the country.
Having said this, Guling Guling Festival's idea is like this. Before the Lenten season starts, the locals of Paoay celebrate the last remaining day to do what they want to do like eating a lot, drinking too much et cetera. In this time of the year, the ruling mayor gathers the people then smudges a sign of a cross made from damp flour powder to their forehead one by one. The highlight of the eating ceremony is this special pair of local delicacy served to everyone: small slices of dudul (ingredients are glutinous rice cake, coconut milk, & sugarcane) and cups of basi (sugarcane wine). I tell you, it feels so surreal after having smeared by this white powder thingy on my forehead. Same feeling I get from a Catholic priest every Holy Week.
To keep this festival alive to the next generations, the local tourism office made it as a series of celebration for five days recognizing the best of Paoay from contests that showcase the talents of Paoayeños to the most-awaited street dancing competition participated by nearby towns. The 2017 Guling Guling Festival happened just a few days after my birthday which was from February 24 until 28.
Itinerary of Guling Guling FestivalFor the first few days they did the opening ceremony, street dancing / flash mob presentation, cultural night, and photo exhibit. There were contests for the youth such as quiz bee, photography, poster slogan, public speaking competitions, and a lot more.
In the middle of the celebration, we were so privileged to join as one of the guest judges of the dudol cook - off challenge. Participants from different schools cooked dudol with a twist this time. They did it on the spot by replacing ingredients and introducing new variants from the original recipe Guests and judges were able to witness the rigorous stirring of dudol making that took up to five hours to finish! We also saw this wooden device to extract sugarcane juice that's operated manually called "dinapilan". I just don't personally like it because it uses a carabao that's blindfolded with one yes only. This carabao will be going round and round 360 degrees to carry that heavy lever that extracts that juice out of the sugarcane.
The public was also treated to a free boodle fight session: eating bare hands some of Ilocano's best dishes such as pinakbet (combination of vegetables boiled with a bit of bagoong isda or fish paste mixed with pork) pizza, tinuno nga tilapia (grilled tilapia), pancit canton (local noodle dish), and KBL or kalamansi, bagoong & lasona (citrus lemon, fish paste, & tomatoes) over heaps of rice.
For the last two days they did some fitness activities (zumba and fun run) and of course the most awaited grand parade and street dancing competition.
Six groups of contingents wearing Filipiniana dresses adorned by abel iloko (woven product in Ilocos) competed to the tune of sabunganay, Paoay's very own local music. The rest of participants are Pamulinawen Laoag, Pinakbet of Marcos town, Damili Festival of San Nicolas. A consolation price of Php 10, 000 to non-winners were given per group. Judges were flown all the way from Manila who are representatives of NCCA (National Commission for Culture and the Arts), CCP (cultural Center of the Philippines) choreographers, professional dancers and culture & arts enthusiasts.
Guling Guling Festival is one of the few festivals in the Philippines that is funded by NCCA. It is also community-based collaboration, not by school basis. Unlike other famous festivals in the country that only feature young dancers, Guling Guling Festival is made of up to 60 dancers of all ages. I just don't know why it still remains as Philippines lesser known local festivals when it is as colorful and rich in history like the famous ones.
It is NOT just a celebration for Catholics alone. This is a festival of the people of Paoay regardless of their religious affinities. At the start of this festival, young dancers from the streets find their way to reach the Paoay Church for the final street dance showdown. I also saw some participants coming out from the Aglipayan Church dancing until they reach the rest as well in Paoay Church.
The town of Paoay is dominated by Aglipayans. Only 30% are Catholics.
There are a number of historical spots in Paoay that are always overlooked by tourists.
LGU Paoay offers a FREE DIY walking tour near the premises of Paoay Church.
It's my first time to see a local festival where the Mayor down to the local barangay officials are very hands on to the activity. In fact, they were also dancing and dressed in local attire and the first ones in line during the last day of street dancing competition.

Three watercolors dating to 1910 and 1911 depicting alpine scenes were expected to fetch tens of thousands of euros at the Auktionshaus Kloss in Berlin, but were seized by police who tweeted they had opened an enquiry into "attempted fraud" and "falsification of documents," France 24 reported.
Auctioneers had previously derided the paintings as having "no artistic value," with auction house spokesperson Heinz-Joachim Maeder telling Reuters, "The value of these objects and the media interest is because of the name at the bottom."
Before Hitler fought in World War I, he worked as a casual laborer and artist, drawing postcards and paintings and reportedly producing as many as three per day, the BBC noted. He was twice rejected from the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts in his native Austria. He joined the Nazi Party after the war, and the prolonged political and economic crisis throughout the 1920s helped him and the party rise to prominence. After seizing power in 1933, Hitler sought to destroy any of his old art he could track down, but hundreds of works still exist.
One of the largest collections is held by the US Army, which seized them during World War II, as the Allied Powers fought their way through Germany to destroy the Nazi regime, which was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people through years of war and genocide. The BBC noted the collection has never been exhibited.
This isn't the first time a Hitler painting has had its authenticity questioned, either. In 2009, 13 paintings claimed to be by Hitler were due to be auctioned off at Mullock's auction house in the United Kingdom, but German publication Die Welt publicly challenged the authenticity of the paintings, saying they didn't conform to Hitler's style or subject matter. The auction house maintained their veracity and hired experts to vouch for them. They sold a month later for $143, 558.

Ežeruona jinak také Ežerūna je řeka v Litvě, v Žemaitsku. Pramení uprostřed spojnice (3 km od) obcí Balčiai a Skiržemė (východní okraj okresu Šilutė), ale většina toku teče v Tauragėském kraji, v okrese Tauragė.

Průběh toku

Od pramene vytéká směrem západním, ale vzápětí několikrát zásadně mění směr toku, přičemž průběh horního toku není podobný obvyklému meandrování, před jezerem Draudenių ežeras se rozvětvuje, přičemž levá větev protéká jezerem a pravá větev protéká v blízkosti jeho jižního okraje, nedaleko od jezera se obě větve opět spojují, dále protéká vsí Draudeniai a dále se již obvyklým způsobem klikatí a meandruje v celkovém směru východojihovýchodním. Do řeky Jūry se vlévá 33,8 km od jejího ústí do řeky Němen jako její pravý přítok u Požerūnů, 6 km na jihozápad od krajského města Tauragė.

Vodní režim
Průměrný průtok nad soutokem s říčkou Balčia je 0,28 m³/s, v ústí – 1,89 m³/s. Průměrný spád je 126 cm/km.

Ekologie
V letech 2003 – 2006 byla zařazena do seznamu řek sledovaných pro migrační tah chráněných ryb. Ežeruona je sledována pro tah pstruha obecného mořského, pstruha obecného potočního a mihule. V roce 2004 byla zařazena do seznamu řek cenných z ekologického hlediska. Od 33,8 říčního km do ústí nejsou vydávána žádná povolení související s využíváním ploch k rybaření. Při výzkumu prostředí Příbaltské nížiny v roce 2006 byla zkoumána Ežeruona u Aukštupiů. Ve zkoumaném úseku Ežeruony byly registrovány tyto druhy: pstruh obecný potoční, plotice obecná, jelec proudník, hrouzek obecný (Gobio gobio), střevle potoční, okoun říční, štika obecná, vranka obecná a mihule potoční. Jádro rybího společenství sestává z pstruhovitého komplexu, (pstruh, mřenka, střevle, vranka) a také byly registrovány početné populace plotic a okounů. Ekologický stav řeky je hodnocen jako dobrý, blízký standardnímu (příkladnému).

'Prehistoric Planet,' a Stunning New Series, Depicts Dinosaurs Like Never Before
Hatzegopteryx in "Prehistoric Planet." Still: Courtesy of Apple TV+
Drawing from science that connects modern birds and ancient dinosaurs, the David Attenborough-narrated Apple TV+ show was influenced by avian biology and behavior at every step.
By Asher Elbein Reporter, Audubon Magazine
Latin: Tyto alba
Latin: Tympanuchus cupido
A bull Tyrannosaurus sculls across the shallow warm waters of an inland sea, a gang of fluffy chicks in tow. His great chest labors with powerful snorting breaths, his chin wavering with the effort of keeping his head above water. Some months previously, the bull courted a female who wandered into his territory, arching his chin in a coy welcome; now he's got babies to care for as he leads them across dangerous waters in search of new opportunities.
This is the image that opens Prehistoric Planet, an astonishing new five-part documentary miniseries airing this week on Apple TV+. Hosted by David Attenborough and filmed by members of the acclaimed BBC Studios Natural History Unit, the show offers a wide-ranging tour of the earth's landscape 66 million years ago, crossing the lush forests and polar crags of western North America, the baking deserts of Central Asia and South America, and the flooded islands of Europe.
The Tyrannosaurus scene, rendered in remarkably crisp and convincing CGI, serves as a deliberate statement of purpose: The earth's largest land predator is presented not as a roaring, malevolent monster or vehicle for blockbuster nostalgia, but as a living, breathing—and very birdy—animal. The past few decades have solidified scientists' understanding that modern birds are essentially dinosaurs, descended from a single branch of the predatory dinosaur family tree. The relationship was initially proposed back in the 1800s, based on the discovery of feathered dinosaurs like the famous "dawn bird" Archaeopteryx. A concerted reassessment of dinosaurs in the late 20th century, complete with the discovery of new, well-preserved fossils from across the world, basically confirmed the theory. Today, researchers have shown that many predatory dinosaur species were likely feathered, and that plumes of one sort or another may have been widespread across the family tree.
In Prehistoric Planet, small, down-toed dromaeosaurs sweep through snowy forests like ground-running falcons. Immense, shaggy behemoths like the hump-backed Deinocheirus graze in inland swamps. Even the mostly scaly Tyrannosaurus rex has a subtle dusting of fine, elephant-like fuzz, visible only in closeup; its young, like the chicks of modern ground birds, are fully fluffed.
The series is also notable for the range of creatures it covers. Each episode stars a blend of familiar and obscure dinosaurs, sea lizards, and pterosaurs (flying reptiles), as designed by a small army of paleoartists. All are presented according to the latest scientific research and showcased exhibiting their own interesting bits of behavior: finding mates, migrating, searching out food and water, or dealing with the age-old scourge of mosquitoes.
"Every decision we've made is backed up in some way by the actual evidence that exists," says Darren Naish, a paleontologist with the University of Southampton who served as lead scientific consultant for the series. The show didn't limit itself to fossil evidence, either—modern dinosaur relatives provided inspiration as well. "If we found behaviors in living birds that were also seen in living crocodilians, we applied them to extinct dinosaurs."
Various episodes present behaviors modeled from avians: the parrot-like use of clay-eating to neutralize toxins in food; the penguin-like thievery of materials in communal nests; and even the habit—famously reported in some Australian raptors—of intentionally spreading fires to smoke out prey. When figuring out their dinosaurs' postures, Prehistoric Planet's team looked to the oldest living bird lineages—flightless birds, waterfowl, and wildfowl—which often share body language with crocodiles. "There's this whole system of specific postures that indicate particular things," Naish says, such as fear, submission during combat, or the fact that an animal is hunting.
In a scene set in "Forests," the show's fifth episode, the short-armed, bullhorn predator Carnotaurus performs for a mate. For this scene, the filmmakers drew on the specific dance steps of a North American grouse while borrowing the booming grunts of a Cassowary. Flightless birds also informed the show's depiction of Tyrannosaurus fathers as the primary caregivers for their tiny, fuzzy young. The body language of geese, meanwhile, provided a guide for a scene in the third episode, where a pair of Tyrannosaurus engage in surprisingly careful and tender courtship—as well they might, considering their bone-crushing jaws and the disastrous implications of a missed social cue.
Show creators also took inspiration from modern bird anatomy. Take Mononykus, a tiny, single-clawed and extremely cute feathered dinosaur from the deserts of ancient Mongolia. The show reconstructs it with a Barn Owl-like "facial disk" of feathers. It's not just a fanciful bit of decoration: Research published last year showed that the inner-ear anatomy of Mononykus and its relatives closely resembled those of modern Barn Owls. This discovery, combined with Mononykus' large, owl-like eyes, suggested that the little dinosaurs could have had a similar facial structure, which helps funnel sound to the inner ear.
Extrapolations from bird anatomy and behavior also contributed to Naish's favorite sequence: a pair of long-necked, 80-ton titanosaurs in bruising battle, surrounded by a crowd of keenly observing females. It's the sort of lek behavior seen in modern birds like prairie-chickens, where males gather to beat the tar out of each other. And like prairie-chickens or frigatebirds, the bull titanosaurs are adorned with dramatic, inflatable throat balloons, which is a bit of speculation based on the existence of hollow air sacks in their massive neck vertebrae. It's not the sort of thing you usually see long-necked dinosaurs doing onscreen, Naish says, "but there's a lot of indication that those animals really could indulge in ridiculous behaviors involving actual combat."
Equal care was paid to how the show's dinosaurs sound. Reconstructing calls is difficult, Naish says, in part because there are few preserved examples of the sort of cartilaginous structures that gave dinosaurs their voices. This hasn't exactly stopped anybody from trying, of course: Dinosaur roars have a long history in Hollywood, most influentially in 1993's Jurassic Park, which blended elephant, lion, and bird sounds to create a sonic template that has dominated mainstream dinosaur media ever since.
Prehistoric Planet takes a different approach. Originally, the team experimented with giving baby Tyrannosaurs the distinctive nyarp call of young crocodiles, Naish says, but that felt wrong—modern crocodilians belong to a lineage that's been separate from their dinosaurian relatives for 200 million years. Instead, they designed specific blends of crocodilian and bird vocals—percussive rumbles, hisses, and chirrups—to create suitably archaic and strange-sounding dinosaurs.
The show's focus on verisimilitude also extended to more technical questions, such as where to put the camera. The production staff shot the majority of scenes on location, which meant finding places that could conceivably fit herds of nonexistent dinosaurs. One challenging sequence centers on a seasonal oasis, tucked amid the dunes in the brutal heat of Cretaceous Mongolia. In it, a stunning cast of desert animals—multiple species of massive sauropod, shovel-billed hadrosaurs, strange scythe-clawed therizinosaurs, and those tiny, owl-faced Mononykus—gather to drink. The trouble wasn't just in wrangling so many CGI dinosaurs convincingly, showrunner Tim Walker says, but in filming the actual location shots the way a natural history crew would—in some cases, with cameras nearly a half-mile away.
"There's no way you can get close to those animals," Walker says. "You'd have to film it on a really long lens, you'd have to be very careful where you're at."
The team's experience shooting natural-history documentaries helps capture the distinct feeling of watching living animals, says Mike Gunton, the show's executive producer. "If you spent a lot of your life watching animals through a viewfinder, you do study them in a way that very few people do—birdwatchers are a classic example. Something flies past and they know what it is just by the feel of it." Prehistoric Planet's goal is to capture those convincing little details—how an animal moves, how weight and posture shifts, the halting curl of a toe or flick of an eye. "I think quite a lot of what we've done just feels right."
The attention to detail pays off. The peril of CGI dinosaur documentaries—or, indeed, of any CGI-dominated productions these days—lies in their effects coming off as cartoonish and unconvincing. While a few shots across the five-hour span of Prehistoric Planet look a bit ropy, the vast majority of the show is absolutely convincing, sweeping you up in the dramas on screen. It's a vision of dinosaurs as many fans have longed to see them: strange and magnificent creatures glimpsed through the trees via binoculars or a documentarian's camera. Animals that are birdlike, colorful, and indisputably, gloriously alive.
Prehistoric Planet airs its first episode on May 23 on Apple TV+, with subsequent episodes airing nightly.

Being a student, people have much free time to travel and, therefore, broaden their minds. Every time I hear about traveling, my heart goes on: new places, people, dishes, emotions are high on my list!
Sangria is a common Portuguese alcohol drink made of red or white wine, sparkling water, and fruits. Serving almost everywhere in Lisbon, you can find many places where to buy it. Just order a glass of cold sangria, take a deep breath, and realize that you're finally in Portugal!
Hint: traveling with a company, buy a big sangria to save money.
The most famous pastry shop in Lisbon, the Casa Pasteis De Belém, is situated in Belem, a historical area in Lisbon. This cafe is considered to be the first place where pasteis de nata were made. Since 1837 locals and tourists have gone here to try this delicious bakery. Take a pastel de nata and a cup of coffee to enjoy what locals do!
Hint: this dessert is sold in every supermarket, so you can take it like a souvenir.
Lisbon is a home for many sailors. Thus, seafood is so popular among people here. To try something delicious, you can find a place in any restaurant on every corner. However, Nunes Real Marisqueira is a well-known seafood restaurant that serves different types of meals – lobsters, scabbard fish, squid, shrimps, turbot, etc. Every gourmand can order something tasty here without a doubt.
Hint: order a glass of white wine to enjoy your dish completely.
Even if you have never been to Lisbon, you might hear about this touristic tram no. 28. Riding this tram should be included to your must-haves checklist, as it runs through the most popular districts and it is considered to be the best way (and the cheapest one) to see Lisbon's attractions. You can hop on it in the city center and pay just €2.85 on board.
Hint: take this tour in the early morning as there fewer tourists.
To observe Lisbon like birds do, go to the Santa Justa Lift in the center of the city. Here you can turn around you to see both ocean and city's center views. If you want to take Instagram-worthy pic, take a selfie: just friends, you, and the landscape. However, get ready to wait in a queue for an hour at least – too many tourists want to see this view, too.
Hint: to get a better picture, use a selfie-stick if you have it.
Avenida da Liberdade is a street that goes from the city center to the local port. It is surrounded with many brand shops, cafes, restaurants, and banks. Although there are many people walking it day in and day out, local street dancers are ready to perform for you. Different dance styles and music, but so great performing! Talented people, indeed.
Hint: give dancers an euro to see some special tricks.
So, you might find out that locals are great people! If you're sociable, go to spend a night at Bairro Alto. It's a district where several streets unite to make an outstanding party place – many bars with beverages and snacks, and thousands of people having fun in the street. That's common European way to hang out. By the way, you might meet many new friends here as both locals and tourists are not afraid of talking to strangers. Relax and have fun!
Hint: you might be invited to dance salsa or bachata, so get ready for it!
An area along the river between Baixa and Belem districts is called 'Docas'. It's a place where the youth have fun, drinking their cocktails. What is special about docas is that here you can watch magic marina view – yachts, boats, water… I recommend coming here to dinner and then visit a pub or a cafe. Plus, there are many clubs for everyone. So, get here to enjoy the party!
Hint: this area is absolutely magical at night.
If you like nature and animals especially, go to either to the Zoo or the Oceanarium. Once you're here, take a pause and explore things around. Shh! There is just nature and you: birds are singing, animals are walking/swimming, and you're watching them! Coffee-lovers like me can take a cup of iced coffee to become even more happy. At this point, these places are great to relax after a crazy night party.
Hint: explore the Zoo website to find a schedule for attractions and shows.
Believe it or not, most millennials are shopaholics. If it's about you, go shopping to Vasco da Gama Mall – beautiful building with a lot of shops and cafes is waiting for you. You might be impressed with the quantity of European clothes that look great! Plus, don't forget to buy souvenirs as they are cheaper here.
Hint: a peacock statuette would be a good memento as it is a symbol of Portugal.
Are you fond of rock music? Visit Lisbon in July as one of the greatest musical festivals, Super Bock Super Rock, takes place this time. What I've enjoyed the most about this fest is the atmosphere – tasty food, ounces of beer, friendly and happy people, funny activities, and great music after all!
Hint: get ready to win many souvenirs. I didn't expect to take four T-shirts, sunglasses, a scarf, photos, and a bag, haha!
After all, no matter what you like, Lisbon is a city where everyone can find something special. If you have time, don't hesitate to try all the above-mentioned things!
As for me, I'm totally in love with Lisbon, but I will come back to explore more of Portugal and its magnificent nature, landscapes, and people. Soon.

Despite Brexit dominating the legislative agenda, there are a number of important changes taking place this year that schools and colleges should be aware of.
We set out those that have a confirmed start date and look at what is happening with others that have been on the back burner for a while.
New changes will allow organisations to rely on online checks to establish a statutory excuse against liability for a civil penalty (in the event that they are found to be employing illegal worker), permitting short birth or adoption certificates to be relied upon when evidencing an individual's right to work and bringing into force a revised Code of Practice.
Date by which all applicable public authorities (including qualifying schools and colleges) must publish their gender pay gap data for the snapshot date of 31 March 2018.
The payslips of workers and employees paid by the hour must clearly set out the number of hours they have been paid for.
*These changes usually come into effect on first Sunday of April, but the actual date has not yet been announced.
Public authorities will be subject to restrictions in respect of deducting union subscriptions from wages.
The Certification Officer will be able to impose financial penalties of up to £20,000 on trade unions if they fail to comply with certain statutory requirements. These include: failing to ensure senior positions are not held by someone with a criminal record; breaching requirements for elections to senior positions and mismanaging political funds.
Qualifying individuals will be obliged to notify their new and previous employer where they propose to return to any part of the public sector (as an employee, self employed contractor or office holder) after they have received a public sector exit payment within the previous 12 months.
The government said it would introduce a £95,000 cap on exit payments made to public sector workers.
We're running a series of free update seminars across our offices in January to get your organisation ready for the year ahead.

Q: PHP 7.2.17 removes custom session folder This is a bit of a multi part question. First part it a problem with PHP 7.2.17 on CentOS 7.6.1810 with Apache 2.4.6. I'm running the latest Joomla 3.9.x.

The reason for the custom session folder is the need for load balancing. I use AWS for hosting and setup an ELB with multiple ec2 instances. The event site gets a ton of traffic over a 5 day period, then falls back off so I can put it back on my shared hosting instance. I'm concerned that if a user hits one server, Joomla creates a session, then they happen to bounce to another instance they will lose their session since it wasn't with that instance.

As a longtime, left-leaning local environmental activist, I have been scratching my head over why our environmentally minded, or so I thought, City of Berkeley equates environmentalism with high-density, big-development projects, such as the high rise "luxury apartment" building featured in Judith Scherr's Jan. 18 Voice article, a project that was dubbed an "ecotower" by East Bay Express editor Robert Gammon.
It has become clearer to me now that I have read Rosa Koire's book "Behind The Green Mask: U.N. Agenda 21," telling of her experiences with the City of Santa Rosa.
Can you remember when we started hearing jargon phrases like "smart growth," "high density urban mixed use," and that word that is music to an environmentalist's ears, "sustainability?" The United Nation's idea of sustainability is quite different from what the average environmentalist has in mind.
Have you watched as old buildings are torn down and huge building after huge building is erected, now seemingly unoccupied? Why? The City of Berkeley did not come up with this stuff. The exact same lingo, methods and policies are being adopted by cities all over this county, country and world.
El Cerrito, Albany, Oakland and Walnut Creek have all, unbeknownst to most of their constituents, signed on with The International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives, which is tasked with carrying out the goals of U.N. Agenda 21 originally signed onto by President George H.W. Bush and by every subsequent U.S. president.
Shouldn't it concern us that an outside unelected nongovernmental organization is inserting itself into the zoning and planning departments of cities all over this country and regional boards are being created that make land use decisions unaccountable to the public?
"Smart growth" is not a local initiative. It is a land and power grab by corporate forces that are hijacking and financing the unwitting leftist environmental movement frightened of global warming.
Those on the left who are willing to make sacrifices and take personal responsibility for environmental degradation need to apprise themselves of how they are being used: The ultimate goal being to take away the sovereignty of local city governments, take away property rights of average citizens via redevelopment, eminent domain and rezoning, and to increase government control over our lives.
The farther government gets from the people the less power we have over our lives and local environment. Do the research. You can come to no other conclusion.
Even the environmentally conscious are waking up to this. There has been created an environmental 'crisis' for the purpose of controlling people and their lives, not so much to keep the environment clean. I'm glad people are seeing through it.


Follow a walking trail that leads you around the site, through the visitor centre which houses the all-important introduction to Bletchley Park, its work and its employees, as well as temporary exhibitions that change seasonally, then around the lake, up to the mansion, into the huts, and finish off with a visit to the museum before browsing the books in the shop. You can easily spend 4 to 5 hours meandering these walls, reading all of the information and engaging with the interactive exhibition elements.
Commander Denniston's (Head of the Government Code and Cypher School) Office and Library are recreated as they were during the war. I loved browsing the bookshelves and found some classic first editions!
Wartime vehicles used for transporting top secret intelligence are on display, and the cottages in the Stableyard are a memory of a bygone era; this was home to Alan Turing and where the first breakthroughs to cracking the German Enigma were made. Look out for the wall carvings.
An immersive experience all about the Bombe machine; audio tracks, photographs, videos and recreations of the machine tell you of the women that worked there and what it was like to operate them. They nicknamed this building the "Hell-Hole".
These restored codebreaking huts have rooms recreated as they would have been during the war; each tell you what would have taken place inside and feature a mixture of projections, audio and information plaques. Work was so secret here that one hut didn't know what the other was doing.
A fascinating insight into different machines and how they operate, the museum houses exhibitions and collections on different aspects of the war. Important names are highlighted (check out the area about the British spy) and a dedicated space to the work of Alan Turing (rarely spoken about throughout the rest of the site) is complete with some of his notes and early manuscripts.
Now before you think a place like Bletchley Park is only for mega history buffs and those on the more mature side of life – think again! This isn't my area of expertise or interest (I'm more of an ancient history girl!), but experiencing a place like this with someone who is truly fascinated is infectious! It really opens your eyes to the incredibly complex nature of the human mind, and what you can achieve if you're on the crazy clever (my words) end of the spectrum. The fact that the work that went on at Bletchley Park was kept a government secret for decades makes it all the more intriguing; it puts what you learned or think you know about the war out the window, it makes you reevaluate history. I think of the stories I heard from my Grandad and Great-Grandad about the war, and now I know that Bletchley had an influence on all of that. So with that being said, because an admission ticket allows you further visits free for a year, and this wealth of information, history and work of national importance is literally on our doorstep, I'll make sure I'm available to tag along next time, too.
This sounds a really interesting place. Have seen bits n pieces on the TV.
Have told the kids it will be educational!
Hope to visit during the holiday.
I'm a graphic designer, photographer, writer & marketing professional with a love of all things photography & travel.

The members of Spalding Round Table have played a major role in transforming the life of one member of their local community.
The Table's donation of £6000 after an appeal in the local newspaper, The Spalding Voice, alongside donations from other parts of the community, has funded the purchase of a powered wheelchair for 16-year-old Phoebe Matthews.
Fundraising was complete within a week of the appeal for donations during September and Phoebe received her new chair just days before Christmas.
Phoebe suffers from cerebral palsy and the new chair will allow her stand up whenever she chooses to, not only offering a great deal more independence to her life, but also playing a significant role in her physiotherapy programme.
As well as the £6000 donation from the Table, the Easy Rise Genie V.2 chair was funded thanks to other contributions from The Iris O'Brien Foundation (£2500), Holbeach charity shop Chosen (£1,000), Moore Thompson accountants (£500) and an online appeal for donations which bought in (£2300).
The Spalding Round Table are able to help people just like Phoebe thanks to the brilliant support and funds they raise in their local community, through events including their annual beer festival and boxing event. To find out more about Spalding RT events visit their Facebook page.
All the money raised by the 400+ Round Table's across the UK is put straight back into improving the lives of people in the local community.
If you are a male aged 18-45 interested in making a difference in your community like the guys from Spalding Table, as well as gaining incredible new experiences and making new lifelong friends then Round Table is the place for you.

Sebastien Loeb cannot help but feel frustrated as a self-inflicted DNF sees him negate his race one victory in Paul Ricard.
Despite taking his third victory of the 2015 FIA World Touring Car Championship season in on home soil at Paul Ricard, Sebastien Loeb admits he is leaving the French round disappointed following a self-inflicted race two retirement.
Starting from his maiden pole position in race one, the Citroen driver defended an attack at the first corner, before going clear to win by six seconds from team-mate Yvan Muller.
"First of all, I was really pleased to be starting from pole position for the first time in the FIA WTCC," he said. "I didn't get a great start. I didn't handle the clutch well and I found myself battling to hold on to my position in the first lap.
"After pulling a few lengths clear thanks to the scrap between Yvan and Pechito, I was able to drive with greater peace of mind, keeping to my racing line."
"I got a good start in Race 2 and found myself on the tail of Ma Qing Ha. I made a stupid mistake on Turn 4 and hit the tyre stack on the outside. There was just too much damage and I had to give up.
"Despite notching up my third win of the season, it's not been a positive meeting for me overall, as I've fallen further behind in the Championship."
Loeb will be hoping for a better result next time out in Portugal, on July 12.


The Australian Government is introducing a new model of Disability Employment Services (DES) from 2018, and wants your feedback.
The discussion paper, New Disability Employment Services from 2018, is part of the Australian Government's broader consultations with the disability community on the strengths and weaknesses of the current approach to disability employment.
Disability Employment Services plays an important role in helping Australians with disability break down the barriers to participating in the economy. However the Australian Government is looking to improve DES to help more people stay in employment over the long-term.
The reforms outlined in the discussion paper aim to increase the number of people with disability finding and keeping a job.
The Australian Government is taking a collaborative approach and actively consulting with the disability community on the reforms. Last year the Australian Government launched the Disability Employment Taskforce to talk with people with disability, disability services providers and employers about supporting more people with disability into employment. The discussion paper brings together that feedback with specific proposals for reforming DES and improving employment outcomes for people with disability.
Click here to provide your feedback on the DES discussion paper at on the Department of Social Services' Engage platform from 2 November until 16 December 2016.

Q: Sorting in reverse numeric order on subfield in a multi-field sort I'm trying to use GNU sort on a directory/file listing, eg (subset of much longer listing):
exams2008/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum08.pdf
exams2009/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019.pdf
exams2010/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2010.pdf
exams2011/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2011.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2012.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2012.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2013.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2013.pdf
exams2014/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2014.pdf

I am already sorting this successfully on the filename (4th field) followed by the season (3rd field), eg
$ sort -t/ -k4 -k3,3
exams2012/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2012.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2013.pdf
exams2009/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019.pdf
exams2008/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum08.pdf
exams2010/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2010.pdf
exams2011/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2011.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2012.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2013.pdf
exams2014/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2014.pdf

But for each block like this, I need them in descending year order as the third sort criterion, using the four digits from position 6 thru 9 of the first field. If I use:
sort -t/ -k4 -k3,3 -k1.6nr,1.9

which looks as if it ought to work, but it does not sort that third criterion in reverse numeric order:
exams2012/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2012.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2013.pdf
exams2009/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019.pdf
exams2008/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum08.pdf
exams2010/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2010.pdf
exams2011/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2011.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2012.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2013.pdf
exams2014/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2014.pdf

I'm clearly doing something wrong here, but related questions don't address this specific condition (third sort criterion, subfield, numeric, reverse) and I can't identify a reason why it fails.

A: To make sure I added a new line in the example data:
exams2008/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum08.pdf
exams2009/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019.pdf
exams2010/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2010.pdf
exams2011/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2011.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2012.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2012.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2013.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2013.pdf
exams2014/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2014.pdf
exams2014/Zoology/Summer/ZY4029Sum2014.pdf <- This is added by me

I added that to illustrate that the sorting also depends on the 4th field. It has the same year and the same 3rd field, but different 4th field. If I understood correctly, that should do what you want.
sort -t/ -k3,3 -k1.6nr,1.9 -k4 file

Output:
exams2013/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2013.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Autumn/ZY4019Aut2012.pdf
exams2014/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2014.pdf
exams2014/Zoology/Summer/ZY4029Sum2014.pdf
exams2013/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2013.pdf
exams2012/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2012.pdf
exams2011/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2011.pdf
exams2010/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum2010.pdf
exams2009/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019.pdf
exams2008/Zoology/Summer/ZY4019Sum08.pdf

First sort the 3rd field (-k3,3), then the first field chars 6-9 should be reverse and numeric (-k1.6nr,1.9), and at last the 4th field (-k4).

MICK Introduces #Mix4Change to Fight Police Brutality and Racial Injustice
ByFNR TIGG
The Reason The Cutlass Is Blue |FNR_TIGG
Image via Mick
Acclaimed DJ MICK is using his platform to unite the DJ community and rally against police brutality.
MICK announced the #Mix4Change initiative on Sunday. He provided further details on how to get involved on Monday. In the post, MICK encouraged DJs to create a one-hour set that can be played on Instagram Live. He is also helping introduce the IG Donate button. Through this button he wants DJs to choose a non-profit dedicated to the Black Lives Matter movement. Viewers can then donate directly to the cause while watching their favorite DJ perform.
"My fave group of all time - De La Soul - had a poignant lyric in 1996 that is even more relevant today. 'A skin not considered equal / A meteor has more right than my people.' - Stakes Is High," MICK captioned his post. "Hip-hop has always had the power to unite, educate and motivate. Today, I call upon my fellow deejays to continue the fight against police brutality and racial injustice."
He went on to explain the IG Donate feature. "Fam, the IG Live Donate function is a hidden jewel for fundraising. It makes it so quick and easy. We did two fundraisers last week on IG Live and quickly raised over $4000 dollars. Imagine what we could do as a unified DJ community!"
In a statement to Complex, MICK said, "I've heard so many people say DJs have been heroes during this fucked up 2020. And obviously, no one is ever comparing a DJ to a first responder or a doctor, but yes it's true—music heals the soul. For this week, though—due to the current social climate of our country—I want to use our combined power to help people with more than good vibes. Let's help make change.

"Many of my DJ peers have committed to do sets. DJ Irie, Crespo (Jaden Smith's DJ), Nina Sky, my homies Steph Floss and DJ Meel (who do all of LeBron's things), and many more. It's very exciting to see the level of commitment after only announcing this a few hours ago.
"The real impact here is what literally every DJ has the power to do by literally pressing one button. Like yes, Diplo could raise a zillion dollars in an hour. Maybe he will read this and join up. I'm sure he reads Complex… haha. But the power of the DJ community as a whole can really swing this. Think about this: If only 10 DJs from every state DJ contribute an hour set, and only raise $200 (which is super low!), we instantly raise 100K for the social causes who really need it. All by pressing a button that says donate."
The #Mix4Change campaign will begin on Monday (June 8) and last until Sunday (June 14). MICK is going live with his set on Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.

I am a Textile Designer from the UK, who specialises in illustration and print. I am also keen to expand my knowledge and skills within embroidery. In the past I have created garments and prints inspired by seashells, butterflies and plants, that I know I will continue with throughout my career as a designer. I find botanical illustrations to be absolutely beautiful, however lately, I have decided to push myself further by taking inspiration from different subjects, such as architecture and animals. In my opinion, nature is full of beautiful and extraordinary things. Even the simplest of finds can become the inspiration for a whole collection of fabrics or garments. I am interested in looking further into the textures seen within nature, especially those seen within the animal kingdom, which I hope will inspire my future designs.
Beautiful bespoke and handcrafted designs adorn this store. Florals, along with intricate digital illustrations, form most of the collections.
Thank you for visiting my store! All artwork by Katie Marie Gilbert, Katie Marie Textile Studio.

Stitch Communications - Employee AGM communications – why bother?
Why should you care whether employee shareholders vote at your AGM?
We're increasingly finding our clients are using the volume of employees voting at their AGM as an indicator of the success of their share plans.
Everyone agrees that having employee shareholders is a win-win for the company.
What about your all-important employees?
Is it enough to simply invite your employees to sign up to your shiny new share plan? You might have enlisted Stitch to create some beautiful share plan communications for you, you may have beaten take-up records, won industry awards and are a regular panel speaker on the subject of your super-successful share plan.
But, does the journey end there? For many (see our Stitch Quiz Mostly A's), yes. But here at Stitch we're finding for more and more companies, the answer is no.
Being an employee shareholder brings with it a whole raft of complex and confusing shareholder communications; forms, voting requests, links to lengthy annual reports (did you know the average Annual Report is between 152 and 155 pages long?! Who has the time, or inclination to read all that?), reference numbers, voting numbers and (are you keeping up) meeting control numbers, questions about tax, accounts, share price fluctuations and …responsibilities. Words and phrases like proxy solicitation, resolution guides, holding periods, ordinary shares (as opposed to..?), corporate governance don't help. Sound a bit scary, and dull?
• Articles, animations, infographics and screensavers to create awareness and interest in this vital aspect of being a shareholder.
You gave them the chance to be shareholders through your plans; surely you owe it to them to help them make the most of that opportunity?
6. Implement a rolling programme of employee shareholder communications to help increase understanding across your population.
The AGM season will again soon be upon us. Now is the perfect time to be thinking about your employee AGM communications.
Stitch are experts in taking tricky and complicated topics and delivering the results you need. Our communications are creative, and we deliver on time and to budget. To increase your employee shareholder engagement get in touch.
