Sparta zvládla odvetu v Arménii, po výhře nad Araratem jde dál v Konferenční lize a los jí přihrál lotyšskou Rigu. Jak velkým favoritem vlastně Sparta je a co od další fáze čekat? V lize mezitím porazila Liberec a drží první místo. Řešíme výkon Vindahla, návrat trojzubce, první starty Milly a Mercada i bolavé místo na levé straně obrany.Nechybí ani debata o kartách, rozhodčích a tom, kde by Sparta ještě měla posílit.Ararat-ArmeniaLetěli jsme do Arménie s třígólovým náskokem. Mělo by se už v základu víc rotovat? Nebo naopak vletět naplno, dát rychle 2:0 a pak to jen kontrolovat?Rrahmani: Opět exkluzivní zakončení. Má podle nás formu i na silnější soupeře?Milla: Debut v základu, jak na nás působil?Uchenna: Už 5 žlutých karet. Je to nový „Krejda“? Nebo v čem je problém?Krasniqi: Rozhodující gól + hodně ambiciózní pozápasový rozhovor. Co by musel udělat, aby ho fanoušci „vzali na milost“?Ryneš: Zaviněné penalty, slabší výkon. Výpadek na jeden zápas, nebo potřebujeme ještě posilu na jeho post?Zákrok na Angela: Šulo říkal, že to byl „hororový zákrok“. Souhlasíme? Jak je možné, že z toho nebyla rovnou červená?Rozhodčí: Platí, že „třetí evropská soutěž = třetí liga rozhodčích“?FC Riga: Co od nich čekáme? LiberecBez červené: Čistě hypoteticky, jak by to vypadalo 11 na 11? Nebyl Liberec paradoxně lepší v deseti?Vindahl: Skvělý výkon + ekvilibristická vložkaHluché pasáže: I v takovém zápase měla Sparta slabou dvacetiminutovku. Je to alarmující?Kofod: My už jsme ho „třikrát prodali“ a on pořád ukazuje, že potenciál má.Mercado: Zvládne i roli LWB? Suchomel v neděli moc nepřesvědčil.Trojzubec: Zase skóroval. Kuchta dvě asistence. Dokáže Priske tu spolupráci znovu naplno oživit?Kuchta a emoce: Brian říkal, že mu žlutou za dohady vyčítat nebude. Je to tak správně? Není těch žlutých karet (Ryneš, Uchenna) už trochu moc?Posily: Kde by ještě Sparta potřebovala doplnit?

The Blob (1958) & The Blob (1988) Continuing our theme of taking a deep dive into an original film and its remake, this time we're looking at a pair with exactly 30 years between them: The Blob, from 1958, and its 1988 remake. A lot had changed in those three decades, especially on the technical side, with advancements in special makeup effects definitely upping the ante on what we see on screen. But the remake also retains much of the same small-town feel and trappings of the original. With these two entries, it's interesting to see the similarities just as much as how the remake plays out as its own creature; sometimes winking at the original, but ultimately leaving its own gelatinous footprint. For those out there that love to hate on remakes, here's yet another pair that break the mold and had given us two entertaining entries. Sit back and enjoy! Films mentioned in this episode: 4-D Man (1959), Beware! The Blob (1972), The Beyond (1981), The Blob (1958), The Blob (1988), The Brood (1979), Dark Star (1974), Daughter of Horror (1955), Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), Dinosaurus!

Dracula se stal klasikou hororu. Román o slavném upírovi vyšel 26. května 1897 a doslova obletěl celý svět. Ať už ve své původní knižní podobě, jako film, muzikál nebo divadelní hra. Dracula je asi nejvlivnějším dílem, které určilo další vývoj hororového žánru do podoby, v jaké ho známe dnes. Řekneme si něco o tom, kdo byl skutečný kníže Drákula, kdo se promění v upíra, jak řádili upíři u nás a samozřejmě také jak se takový upír pozná a zneškodňuje.Všechny díly podcastu Příběhy z kalendáře můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

„Ve vesmíru vás nikdo neuslyší křičet.“ Tak zní slogan filmu Vetřelec od Ridleyho Scotta, který měl premiéru 25. května 1979. S rozpočetem 14 milionů dolarů vydělal 188 milionů. Proslavila ho scéna u stolu, kdy poklidnou atmosféru naruší tvor, který vyleze z břicha jednoho ze stolovníků. Jak se scéna natáčela? Z čeho byl kostým xenomorfa a kdo v něm byl? Proč Sigurney Weaverovou málem přeobsadili? Proč ve filmu hrají i dva Scottovi syni?

Filmy si často dávajú neľahkú úlohu búrať zaužívané stereotypy. Napríklad o účtovníkoch ako o nudných sivých myškách. Ben Affleck vás drsným spôsobom vyvedie z tohto omylu. Napätie ešte zvýšime, keď si predstavíme krvavo vyzerajúci horor. Pokoj a harmóniu prinavráti rodinný film o milej pande. Čo z toho sa oplatí vidieť? Nevieme, ale aj tak si pustite nový diel .týždňa vo filme.

Čtyři kvalifikace, čtyři postupy na velký turnaj! Jan Suchopárek má u mládežnických reprezentací bilanci, kterou se nemůže pyšnit žádný jiný trenér. Dvakrát dovedl na evropský šampionát „devatenáctku“, dvakrát „jednadvacítku“. S výběrem U-21 ustál těžké chvíle po debaklu 0:5, kdy bylo ve hře i koučovo odvolání z funkce. Finiš dvouletého cyklu však zvládla „lvíčata“ bravurně, včetně baráže se silnou Belgií. Znamená to, že je v červnu čeká finálový turnaj na Slovensku, kam vyrazí i hromada tuzemských fanoušků. „Tento tým má ještě na mnohem víc,“ tvrdí trenér ve speciálu Ligy naruby. A co bude po EURO s ním? Přijal by nabídku prvoligového klubu? Jak vycházel s kapitánem Václavem Sejkem? Kompletní rozhovor sledujte na http://liganaruby.cz a v premium sekci na iSport.cz.

For July 4th, I asked ChatGPT to write a version of the Declaration of Independence for solar power. The result was pretty good, so I wanted to share it. "When in the course of human development, it becomes necessary for individuals and communities to break free from the dependence on unsustainable and finite sources of energy, and to embrace the abundance of renewable solar power, a respect for the laws of nature and sustainability requires that they should declare the reasons.For this transition, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all individuals and communities have the right to access and generate energy from the sun, the ultimate source of light and life on our planet..." (listen to the full episode).Thanks for listening. If you agree with this declaration, make a commitment to only vote for politicians who support the rapid deployment of residential, commercial, and utility solar power.----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

On the next encore episode of Probably True  Solar Stories, a semi-sweet retired teacher gets inspired by Greta Thunberg to advocate for solar energy. But when her neighbors make excuses for not getting a solar quote, she starts a radical social media campaign that almost gets her arrested by the local Sheriff.True Solar TakeawaysThis story is fiction, but Greta Thunberg is very real and a true climate action activist. You can follow her on Twitter and on Instagram, and you can follow her campaign here. Here's a link to her "How Dare You" speech. Here's a link to her "Blah, blah, blah" speech, which includes "words that sound great, but led to no action."It's very, very simple to get a solar quote today. You can search the web for solar installers in your area, but please compare prices. Get three estimates and compare online reviews. As The Naked Solar Lady says in this story, if solar doesn't make financial sense for you, don't do it.  At least you now know what it costs today and you'll be able to benchmark for another set of solar quotes in another year or two. It just takes an hour of your time. And if it does work, what are you waiting for?There are also several websites that will compare three online quotes for you after inputting some information about your home and energy usage. While it's true that solar does not work by itself at night, that's okay. Almost every solar home remains connected to the local grid to keep the lights and fridge on at night.Despite some recent blackouts and brownouts in California and Texas, the grid rarely goes down. In 2018, the latest data available, the entire U.S. grid was up and running 94% of the time, but that's in specific areas. Your utility may be more stable than others. If you're concerned about being without power for a few hours or, at most, a day or two, then you can install batteries with your solar panels.Batteries have other advantages besides rarely used backup power. In certain places like California, Hawaii, and other states, batteries can be used to save more money by storing your extra solar power for use later when evening and nighttime utility rates are higher. As mentioned earlier, get three solar+battery quotes from three qualified and well-reviewed installers. They'll let you know if installing a battery makes financial sense for you.  Perhaps it makes sense to only install a small battery that will be programmed for energy savings and not backup power. ----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

 On the next Probably True Solar Stories, we could include A Murder of Solar Crows. Four thieves have tried to strip two solar farms of their expensive copper wires,  solar panels, and other equipment. But a brown tabby cat and her animal friends keep getting in their way. Will the gang finally beat her on their third and final job?True Solar TakeawaysListen to Part 1 here: https://www.probablytruesolar.com/murder-crows/A line of crows on a tree limb or electrical wire is called "A murder of crows."Kelptovoltaics is the term for the act of stealing solar equipment from a solar project.Theft of solar modules, inverters, copper cabling, and other valuable equipment from solar installations is a real phenomenon, but there are no statistics about how common it is. Sinovoltaics, a global solar quality assurance company, wrote an article about Kleptovoltaics in 2020, which discussed security methods for preventing solar projects from theft. The article cited several kleptovoltaic news reports from around the world, so it's probably more common than what's reported in city and national crime statistics.Adding a 1 MW to 2 MW solar power project to land adjacent to vineyards is common in California.Instead of traditional mowing equipment, solar project owners often hire ranchers with sheep, goat, and other grazing animals to naturally mow the project's ground cover. None have attacked humans at a solar project, as far as I know. Local mammals, reptiles, and insects are always present at solar projects. These include mice, rats, rabbits, squirrels, coyotes, foxes, deer, snakes, wasps, and even stray cats. Birds can also fly over projects and poop on the panels. Some solar project owners consider wild animals as pests, as they can sometimes damage cables and modules. Other owners welcome animals and create holes in project fences to allow creatures to pass through to the surrounding habitat. ----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

But nothing goes as planned, so he decides to take a psychedelic trip that takes him on a solar magical mystery tour that sparks joy in everyone—especially the dog.True Solar TakeawaysVineyards use a tremendous amount of energy for irrigation pumps, refrigeration, bottling operations, and resort energy costs. Consequently, many wine companies are now converting a part of their acreage to a solar farm that reduces the energy costs of the vineyard's operations.1 MW of solar can be installed on about 5 acres of land.Solar trackers can be installed on a vineyard's rolling hillsides and use AI to precisely track the sun and generate the most energy throughout the year.The acreage will always be cleared of vegetation, so a vine would not survive, even a hardy one. But this is a fairy tale, so please roll with it."Piles" are the posts that support the trackers.While it's true that solar panels don't talk, inverters are like "solar energy translators." They convert the solar's direct current (DC) energy into alternating current (AC) that is used by homes and businesses in the U.S.Here are some solar-powered vineyards. If you drink enough wine and use your imagination, you might taste a bit of the sun!

Rufus, a pet and mascot of a solar installer, is dognapped out of the installer's truck while on the job.  A chase ensues, but we learn that the dog, the solar installer, and the dog napper aren't quite what they seem.True Solar TakeawaysAs of 2020, there are 20,000 military veterans in the solar industry, making up about 9% of the solar workforce.IREC, the Interstate Renewable Energy Council, supports veteran training programs. Get more information on these programs here.The Solar Ready Vets Fellowship connects mid-to-senior level transitioning service members with on-the-job training in leadership and management roles in the civilian solar workforce.The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has more information for solar veterans.GRID Alternatives is another solar job training organization that supports both veterans and non-veterans.The U.S. Department of Energy also has job training information and programs for military veterans.Here's a photo of the original Rufus with my real cat--for size comparison.----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

On the next Probably True Solar Stories, a feisty senior citizen is determined to haggle with a solar salesman to buy the solar system of her dreams. But her haggling plans fall through when an honest salesperson refuses to sell an installation at any price. Can they find the solar win-win?True Solar TakeawaysNot every home is a good fit for solar. The home may have too many trees or other obstacles that block the sun--and solar production. The home may need a new roof. The home's wiring or service panel may need an upgrade. A good installer will make an evaluation and let you know these things in advance of signing a contract.  You can always make these upgrades and go solar in the future. In general, solar installed on North-facing roofs will generate very little solar power, but in some areas, such as Southern California, it can make financial sense. However, for most of the U.S. and Europe, a South-facing roof is ideal. West and East are okay, and in some cases, may be better. If you live in Australia, a North-facing roof is great.Your solar installer should design the best system based on your roof and many factors. To find a good installer, get a referral from a friend who's already gone solar.Even with a friend's referral, always check out solar installer reviews on the internet. Yelp, Google Reviews, Angie's List, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) will usually reveal the bad and good installers.After reading reviews and doing your homework, always get at least three quotes. You'll learn something about solar and your home's electricity usage with every quote.Beware of the installer's utility inflation rate when a proposal estimates your payback period and ROI. No one can predict utility rate inflation over the next 25 years. Just because your bill went up 10% for two years in a row does not mean it will go up 10% every year for the next 25 years.  You can find more buying tips on the internet. The most important thing is to get at least three quotes and compare them. If you're confused, ask the installer questions. If they get frustrated or pressure you to just sign without understanding the proposal, costs, and payback period, walk away. If you're not familiar with computers and the internet, find someone who is. Shopping for solar is complicated. You can't properly shop for a solar installer from ads in the Yellow Pages, no matter what special discounts are promised. If you can't go solar, your state may have community solar programs that allow you to go solar by "subscribing" to a large solar farm in your area. Search Google for "community solar in YOUR STATE" to learn about the available programs. Hope that helps!----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

Once upon a time, there were honest and friendly dragons who heated the boilers for steam-powered electric turbines. But due to the high cost of dragon energy, the King decided that the dragons needed to be replaced, sparking a bloody dragon war that led to the invention of solar power. True Solar TakeawaysFossil fuel-based generators work by burning fossil fuels, which boil water to high temperatures. The boiled, high-pressure water produces steam that spins an electric turbine, generating electricity.Unionized labor dominates the energy industry, including solar.  All utilities contract or own stand-by power plants known as "spinning reserves" or "Peaker plants." Peaker plants run 24/7 to provide backup power for when the grid is overloaded--typically when it's a hot summer day and more homes and buildings are using air conditioning.Utilities, states, and kingdoms pay a significantly higher price for Peaker Plant energy. The photovoltaic effect is how solar power is produced. When sunlight shines on a special semiconductor material, the sunlight excites electrons and creates a flow of electricity into a direct current. Tandem perovskite solar cells are coming soon. They promise higher solar cell efficiencies (more generated solar power) at a lower price, but as of July 2023, they haven't been commercialized yet.Wind power is one of the least expensive forms of energy today.Lithium-iron-phosphate batteries are increasingly gaining market share for backing up solar power. Energy wonks often refer to the cost of energy over time as the "Levelized Cost of Energy" or LCOE. It allows them to compare the total cost of a solar plant to, say, a gas or coal plant. Today, solar has the lowest LCOE. Milanium is an imaginary rare-earth metal. However, solar and clean energy is in great need of many rare-earth metals and not-so-are minerals. These include silicon, the base element for making solar cells for solar panels, and lithium for making rechargeable batteries. For all the True Solar Takeaways in this dragon story, read the episode notes of Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

Gather around the fireplace, solar friends. Pull up a seat at the bar. On the next, Probably True Solar Stories, we're going to tell a solar fable. It's a fairytale. A hero's journey sort of thing. With a Texas accent. (Forgive me in advance.)It's about a young, ambitious solar installer who seeks her fortune to be the most successful solar installer in all the land.  And like many fables, our ambitious installer meets a wise guide--or in this case, a wise couple--who teaches her about The Solar Way, a solar-inspired guide to living life on The Solar Coaster. True Solar TakeawaysThis episode doesn't have many solar facts about the solar industry. The main takeaway is that the solar biz has many ups and downs and policy twists and turns that people have called it "The Solar Coaster." The people riding the solar coaster can get discouraged, including me. To help smooth out the ups and downs, I've read  some Taoism and Stoicism text and turned some of my  learnings into" The Solar Way":Be warm. Shine like the sun.Let go of broken solar panels. Be interconnected. The sun rises every day. Be as consistent.The sun sets every day. This too shall pass. If you're interested in learning more about Taoism and Stoicism, here are a  few audio and text resources:The Daily Stoic. Through his website, podcast, and books, Ryan Holiday offers modern insights through ancient Stoic wisdom. Although the Stoic philosophy is very old, Holiday keeps it simple and relevant to the way people live today.  Check out his free daily podcast and daily email. Of course, his books are a great resource, as well. The Tao of Daily Life by Derik Lin is a well-deserved bestseller. It teaches the principles of Taoism through the classic Taoist and Buddhist fables. Although the stories are still set in ancient China, Lin translates these stories in a way that is very accessible for our modern world. Then he cites a passage from the Tao te Ching and explains the wisdom behind each story. This book and other David Lin books are also available in audio and digital forms.Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine by Derren Brown. You may know Derren Brown as an international illusionist, but he's also a professed Stoic. Happy is his easy-to-read guide to happiness using examples from his shows, his illusions, and from his own life. He often cites Stoic texts, but it's not a book about Stoicism. Check out his many YouTube videos to see his stage performances and British TV shows. ----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

On the next Probably True Solar Stories, we have a pigeon problem. When a new solar owner sees that a pigeon is unrelentingly shit-bombing her brand-new solar array, she calls in a critter pro to do the dirty work. But then she discovers that her pigeon also has a problem, and the solution becomes complicated...Indeed, it's a probably true solar panel pigeon poo-poo problem that's probably more problematic than precisely pronouncing this preposterous sentence 10 times fast.But instead of doing that, just listen all the way through. Then ask yourself, "What would I have done in the same situation?"Two small warnings about this episode: 1) Characters say some naughty words, so keep your earbuds on in front of the little ones. 2) I sing part of a Rolling Stones tune, so I beg your forgiveness in advance. It's brief, but it still might be painful for both Stones fans and non-Stones fans.True Solar Takeaways:Cleaning solar panels can be dangerous, even if it's simple. Hire a pro to clean them once every few months. Bonus: They may find other problems that need attention.Critters may make a home under your solar panels. Once again, hire a solar O&M pro to prevent nests and warrens from being set up. If you clean your own, use a mild soapy water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Never use anything sharp. You may cause damage to the solar panels--or even yourself.----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

Two teenagers are having a private moment in the hills above a utility substation when suddenly they happen upon a terrorist intent on bringing down their local grid. Will the teens escape and defeat the terrorist? Yes, but only with the help of modern-day cleantech resources...True Solar TakeawaysTerrorists have been attempting to disrupt the grid by firing rifle shots at the transformers of utility substations. Here are some news clips about these incidents:FBI thwarts neo-Nazi plot to attack Baltimore Gas & Electric substations, ‘completely destroy' city Mass power outage in North Carolina caused by gunfire, repairs could take daysAttacking the gridYes, indeed. There is a "Smart Summon" mode on your Tesla, but you need to be close by. Behold. The smart homes of the future are here, not in the future. There are many, many companies that offer app connections that can control just about anything in your house through wi-fi and smart plugs, including the coffee maker, the TV,  lights, stereos, and of course garage door openers. Pretty much everything. If you've only installed solar on your roof, you will generally not be able to use the solar generation, even if the blackout occurs when the sun is shining. That's because your solar power will backfeed into the grid and endanger the line-people who are fixing transmission wires, so your inverter will cut off your solar production. There are a few inverters that will "island" and route power to your home and not the grid. Check with your installer.If you want your solar power to back you up, day or night, you'll need to install a battery. However, whole home backup is rare--and expensive. Instead, you can tell your solar+battery installer about the "critical loads" that will be available during a blackout, and he'll configure your battery to keep those things running. Typically, it's the lights, refrigerator, and other small appliances. The size of your battery will partly determine how many hours those things will stay on. Of course, the more things you use during a blackout, the fewer hours of backup battery usage you'll have. Also, if you include high-intensity loads like air conditioning or a pool pump, you'll quickly use up your battery power in very few hours.----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

There's a new superhero in town. His name is Solar Man, and he's here to help the world, but not in the way you might think. To defeat his arch-nemesis, Solar Man reluctantly decides to join the Ultra League of Super Defenders, a band of superheroes that are beyond the law.  But will Solar Man be able to show his Super Solar strengths and pass the audition?True Solar TakeawaysThe U.S. solar industry installs the equivalent of a residential solar installation every 39 seconds. All solar projects require some type of local permitting and utility connection ("interconnection") approvals.Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) are the catch-all name for the county, city, and utility approval bodies that oversee solar permitting.A "PE" is a licensed Professional Engineer. Some AHJs require their review of a solar installation design. Some don't. Sadly, there are no national standards or building codes for installing solar on a home, business, or utility-size project. Each county, city, and state has its own special rules, regulations, codes, and official requirements. As a result of different permitting codes and standards, solar's installation and interconnection processes can get slowed down. Local differences also increase the costs and time to install solar.AHJs and utilities can also be slow to approve projects due to the increasing number of solar projects being installed. AHJ staff need to be updated on the latest solar and battery products and new technologies.----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

A solar installer thinks he hears a gunshot while performing a drone solar site survey. The shot--if it was a shot--came from the ranch house of his ex-fiancé. Can the solar installer's drone footage solve the gunshot mystery? And even if it does, will anyone believe him?True Solar TakeawaysDrones are an increasingly common tool for inspecting and designing residential solar systems.A "POI" is an acronym for a drone circling program. It stands for "Point of Interest."Solar design software incorporates drone footage and photos. The software then sizes and designs the solar system and a visual sales proposal.When preparing a solar design, the installer will gather information about your electric service panel and sometimes inspect your roof's rafters from your attic.As mentioned, this episode incorporated characters from a 10-minute play that Tor wrote, called "Harrison's Choice." It's part of an anthology of 10-minute plays that Tor published in 2008 called "Just Give Me 10 Minutes."----- Visit ProbablyTrueSolar.com to sign up for the newsletter to learn about new episodes and live solar storytelling events.

On the next Probably True Solar Stories, we return for our second Probably True Solar Song about a woman who decides to break up with her utility and fall in love with solar power. True Solar TakeawaysThis solar breakup song was inspired by my friend, "Solar Rosana" Francescato's blog post. Solar can and does reduce utility bills, but your payback time and ROI will vary on many factors. With some utility rates, your best option is to install solar with batteries.Check out the original solar music pioneers and their real solar music written and sung by humans:Christie McCarthy & Jam Session - "Rise and Shine" - Watch it here.Cell Test Dummies - "Pure Energy (The Solar Song)" - Watch it here.The ReVisionistas - "Cover of the Solar Pro" - Watch it here.All Probably True Solar Songs were created through a music AI program with human prompts and editing.The Kilowatt Club and the Probably True Solar Stories "media empire" are as fictional as the Probably True Solar Band and our usual silly stories.
