Explore an interactive gallery of some of the most intriguing and exotic planets discovered so far. Historic Timeline. A planetary tour through time. The ancients debated the existence of planets beyond our own; now we know of thousands. He found that the Sun was positioned at one "focus" of the ellipse there are two "foci", both located on the major axis. He also found that when the planets were nearer the sun in their orbits, they move faster than when they were farther from the sun. Many years later, he discovered that the farther a planet was from the sun, on the average, the longer it took for that planet to make one complete revolution. Here you see a planet in a very elliptical orbit. Note how it speeds up when it's near the Sun. Kepler's third law is the one that interests us the most. It states precisely that the period of time a planet takes to go around the sun squared is proportional to the average distance from the sun cubed. Here's the formula:. Note that as the distance of the planet from the sun is increased, the period, or time to make one orbit, will get longer. Kepler didn't know the reason for these laws, though he knew it had something to do with the Sun and its influence on the planets. That had to wait 50 years for Isaac Newton to discover the universal law of gravitation. Closer planets revolve faster, more distant planets revolve slower. The answer lies in how gravity works. The force of gravity is a measure of the pull between two bodies. This force depends on a few things. First, it depends on the mass of the sun and on the mass of the planet you are considering. The heavier the planet, the stronger the pull. If you double the planet's mass, gravity pulls twice as hard. On the other hand, the farther the planet is from the sun, the weaker the pull between the two. The force gets weaker quite rapidly. If you double the distance, the force is one-fourth. If you triple the separation, the force drops to one-ninth. Ten times the distance, one-hundredth the force. See the pattern? The force drops off with the square of the distance. If we put this into an equation it would look like this:. The Exploratorium is more than a museum. Explore our online resources for learning at home. Travel to an outer planet! Johannes Kepler.

With her trademark tortured hero, Adron who who was viciously tortured after selflessly sacrificing himself for a pregnant woman he didn't know is now badly scarred and bitter his every movement an agony. Livia has had a sheltered life, but is determined to break free before she is forced to wed a man 60 years her senior. To do this she must lose her virginity so that her betrothed will no longer have her, and so that is what she intends to do, even if they kill her for it, and Adron seems just the man to help her out. This was a great story I loved it, it had all the aspects of SK's writing which I love to moan about but still read; the soul deep romance; the tortured hero; the melodramatic writing, I lap that stuff up! Another aspect I liked is the family interaction, seeing all Adron's brothers and sister tease him and each other showing how much they love him was both funny and sweet. This is definitely story I would reread and have done! Knightly Dreams 3 Stars Of the three novellas this is the one I enjoyed the least. It was still fun and romantic, but I didn't really connect with either of the characters, that might be because it was so short, but it was still a very quick amusing read. Dragonswan 4 Stars This one was actually a reread for me as I have the ebook on my computer, I think this may actually be the first SK book I ever read. After rereading it I can see why I went on a major SK reading binge afterwards. It was romantic with a bit of action some steamy scenes and of course the requisite hot and tortured hero. I really enjoyed reading this again and I am glad I have it in paperback form as well as on my computer as I am certain I will want to read it again. View all 15 comments.

I love a man with scars, a man who is strong, intelligent, and determined. I feel bad for how horrible his life was until Livia came. I love that he protects her from her father and marries her. It broke my heart when he had to be in the hospital and said he wanted a divorce from Livia. And, is it just me, or does he seem like he would be an exceptional lover? I absolutely loved Livia. I loved how she was unafraid to stand up to Adron all the time when no one else would because they were afraid of his wrath. It broke my heart when she was in a coma from healing him completely. And I love how she always tries to help him, even when he's surly. My favorite part of the story: when Nykyrian walks in on them naked. Then Tiernan does the same thing later on. I love Taryn and Tiernan's banter, and Zarina was as hilarious as ever. I absolutely love when Adron freaks out about Livia talking to Kiara and Zarina about sex. Totally hilarious. I thought it was cool that Nyk, Kiara, and all their kids show up at some point throughout the story. I'm glad that Jayce and Adron are on friendly terms again, and I love that Adron and Livia name their baby after Jayce. I love Devyn's cameo, even if it was only through old videos. The video from the pregnant woman and her daughter always makes me cry. I love, too, that this story is longer than the original version, and I love all the new scenes and new dialogue. I'm always up for more of Nyk and his peeps. I loved Taryn; she's sarcastic, funny, smart, loving. One of my favorite parts was when she took Hawk to Medieval Times to make him feel somewhat at home in her time. I absolutely adored Hawk; he's strong, smart, funny, and determined. It was so cute the way he did special things for Taryn everyday for when she came home. I wanted to beat Alinor for taking Sparhawk away from Taryn. It drove me insane every time it came up in the story, because after having read all the other Were-Hunter books in the Dark-Hunter series, it's clear to me that Katagaria are better than Arcadians. I did like Sebastian, though, despite the prejudice towards Katagaria. He was strong, honorable, funny, and loving. I love that he went to get the tapestry to save his brother even though Damos claimed to hate him, and I love how he continually protected Channon. I liked Channon and thought she was intelligent, funny, and loving. I love how she protected Sebastian and his people in the end. I thought it was hilarious that she thought Damos was Katagaria and pulled a sword on him. I love how she mated Sebastian and it was awesome that she returned his powers with him being half-dead and unconscious. It was interesting to see more of Damos, and I'm glad to finally get at least a little bit of an explanation about him because the other DH books don't. It would be awesome, too, if he got his own book soon. Shelves: ebook , , 5-stars. I thought this was a great book to get myself out of my reading rut and it worked a treat! I have read Dragonswan before back in when I first got into the Dark-Hunter series. And I thought it was just ok but after re-reading it I much enjoyed it the second time around and thought it was a grea I thought this was a great book to get myself out of my reading rut and it worked a treat! And I thought it was just ok but after re-reading it I much enjoyed it the second time around and thought it was a great book but just a bit too short. I remember when I read it the first time round Channon annoyed me but this time I didn't think she was quite as annoying which is possibly why I enjoyed it more. I give Dragonswan a full 5 stars! Fire and Ice was an amazing story and was so much more than I thought it would be for such a short story! I really loved Adron who was briefly mentioned in Born of Night I loved how much of an arse he was but for good reason and I adored Livia! She was awesome and really made the story for me. An awesome 5 stars! Knightly Dreams was by far my least favourite story in the book. It started quite well and I was really interested in the storyline but after a while it just got quite silly and I guess I like it for the fun factor but it really wasn't something I would have read otherwise. And it's not that the character Sparhawk bothered me, it was the ending of the story that just got a bit ridiculous for me and but a damper on what was a really good story. So I only give Knightly Dreams 4 stars. Overall I loved all three books but Fire and Ice was by far my favourite book, I just wish it was a longer story! Apr 15, Exina added it. I've read only Dragonswan by Sherrilyn Kenyon, so no rating here. My review. Jun 12, Ivy rated it it was amazing Shelves: assassins , assassins- mercenaries-etc. Fire and Ice 5 stars Nice to have more stories about Generation 2. The League series is one of my favorite series. Enjoyed Adron and Livia's story a lot. Nice to see Nykyrian and Kiara again. Wonder if we will see This again. Also nice to know that Kyr is finally dead. Glad that Livia was able to heal Adron and they have a little boy. So cute!!! Another thing I'm glad about is Adron finally forgave Jayce and named his kid after him. Want to learn more about the Trisani. Wonder how many are still l Fire and Ice 5 stars Nice to have more stories about Generation 2. Wonder how many are still left in the world. Can't wait to read more League stories. Knightly Dreams 5 stars Another good story. Glad that Taryn and Sparhawk got their happy ending. Also liked that authors were able to write stories and have a Master Author. There are a whole bunch of stories just waiting to be written. Would be nice to be able to have a book character come to life. Who would you want to come to life? Not sure who I would want to come to life. Dragonswan 5 stars A good story. Always like the shapeshifters in the stories. Would be cool to be a shapeshifter. Dragons are one of my favorite shape-shifting groups. Also nice to see Saxon England. Would be cool to time jump. Channon and Sebastian had a good story though. Wonder how Shannon is doing in Saxon England. Overall, this was a very good book. Sherrilyn Kenyon is one of my favorite authors. Hope there will be a book about Nick in the future instead of just his teenage years and book series. Hope there will be more stories about the second generation League characters. Want there to be a story on what happened to Kyr. Jan 20, Sans rated it it was amazing. So I admit the only books of Sherrilyn's I've read are a few of the B. Agency novels and Fantasy Lover. Um, why have I not read the rest of her books yet? Fire and Ice The first novella was from her League series and holy buckets, I really wish it was a full length novel. Makes it easier to dive in. Well, it will be once I read and return those 26 library books I have out right now. Knightly Dreams The second novella was ok, not my favourite of the trifecta. A fun little fantasy that explores what reality really is and how we are in charge of our own destinies. Dragonswan The third was really good, if a bit hard to follow. I'm thinking this is where reading the Dark- or Were-Hunters books beforehand would have come in handy. Still, I love me some tattooed men and I love me some shapeshifters. Put them together with the magical ingredient of time travel and you have one happy kitty. All told, a highly satisfying and quick read. I recommend it both for readers already familiar with Sherrilyn's worlds and those looking for a better introduction than Fantasy Lover to said worlds. View all 3 comments. Jan 04, Once rated it really liked it. This book contains 3 stories of romance, fantasy and magic, they are quick and fun to read. Fire and Ice: This is part of Kenyon's League series and always it leaves you with the feeling that you wish there were more books to keep reading without having to wait. Futuristic romances between two characters both physically and mentally damages but with great hearts. They heal each other physically and mentally with their love. Knightly Dreams: The story behind this one is the concept that a book choo This book contains 3 stories of romance, fantasy and magic, they are quick and fun to read. Knightly Dreams: The story behind this one is the concept that a book chooses it's writer before they are completely written and they finish the story. The characters in this book revel against their story and finish it differently using the power of their love. Dragonswan: Part of the dark hunter series, even if you haven't read the series, this book is fun and magic. You get your heroine, your good looking-hot dragon and you get your fantasy love story. What more can you ask, maybe that it could have been longer, Great book to introduce yourself to these series if you are not familiar with them. May 01, Mary rated it it was amazing. Who knows which one. Since they're all pretty much soup, it could be Theo shook his head, "You know, Adron, if you want to spend the night with me, there are easier ways of going about it. You could just ask. Watching Spike prance around and be all Spikey, versus a couple hundred years of making love to a Greek god. My copy of this only contained The League short story - though I have read both of the other shorts in hardover and given each of them a 5star rating as well. This review is just for The League short story. Loved this short which had us visiting with Adron one of Nyk's sons who had been severely injured during his time as a League Assassin and his lady-love, princess on the run Livia. Adron's alcoholism and Livia's sheltered life make them seem an unlikely couple but I liked these two together My copy of this only contained The League short story - though I have read both of the other shorts in hardover and given each of them a 5star rating as well. Adron's alcoholism and Livia's sheltered life make them seem an unlikely couple but I liked these two together a lot. Their story was quite sweet and brought a glimpse of terra firma life in this series. The conflicts for this couple were more accessible as was the way of reacting to them. Brief appearances by familiar faces round out this one sitting read. Sep 01, Jessica rated it really liked it. I loved him. My heart broke for him and all his sorrows. I was so glad that he found happiness with Livia. They needed each other and made each other whole. This was a great start to this collection of stories. Hawk was a super gorgeous knight who was stuck in a half finished book and he was brought to life by Taryn. I enjoyed this one but not as much as the first one. Dragonswan OK this was the last story in this book and it is the beginning of the were hunters. I loved it and I loved that it was about dragons. Overall, a great compilation of stories. Livia typpa Vista was the absolutely perfect heroine for him. Knightly Dreams I didn't really like this one. Reminiscent of 80s type medieval romances. Kinda mushy and trite. I love me some dragons and Sebastian is currently my favorite. And Channon ain't bad either. Aug 13, Nicole rated it it was amazing. This was a great Kenyon collection, I wanted to read this when I finished all the dark-hunter novels but when I saw it had a short story from the league I read those first and I am glad I did, you dont need to but I think I understood Adron's character better having a bit of history on his and his family. You dont need much history on Sebastian for Dragonswan, honestly if you haven't read the dark-hunter books his character in them is extremely reclusive and you dont see him much anyway. Great r This was a great Kenyon collection, I wanted to read this when I finished all the dark-hunter novels but when I saw it had a short story from the league I read those first and I am glad I did, you dont need to but I think I understood Adron's character better having a bit of history on his and his family.

O I seem to be reading a LOT of weredragon stuff lately Now, it seems every paranormal romance author and her sister is writing about them. After having sex with this guy, both of you are suddenly branded with some geometric shape. You're his mate! If you don't bond with him in 3 weeks, he will be doomed to live life alone, and never have sex again Here Kenyon's created a tailor-made woman's fantasy: - Hot guy instantly in love with you for no reason. You don't have to do anything special, say anything clever, or look sexy. He just instantly is in love with you because of "who you are. Since you are his mate, he can never have sex with anyone ever again except you. Even if you leave him which you're free to do , he's damned to a life of celibacy without you. This is what romance novels ARE. So, no points off. Things that fail: - While having sex, Sebastian bites Channon on the neck with his fangs and drinks her blood, and she grows fangs one-time deal only and drinks his blood too. I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who finds this gross and not sexy. Every time I read that I involuntarily make a "blergh" face. In the course of the story, he casts one sleeping spell on Channon. There's also this part where, if she had not let him in to the hotel room for sex he would have broken his vow of "interfering in human free will. The idea that if she had been like, "Okay, bye" his inner beast? Nothing happens from it - but I wish Kenyon had just never brought it up in the first place. We could have completely sidestepped this whole thing. It also makes me scream "LIAR! There are no other consent issues in the rest of the story, this was the only speedbump, and it was a pretty minor one, considering. There is a cheesy story and dialogue, but that's okay - no points off - because this is a romance and I expect it to be silly. Oh, you know. Good weredragons vs. Grace must spend the rest of her life in Britain a thousand years ago, but she and Sebastian pop back to modern times once in a while so that she can catch up on Buffy. Things that work: - Channon's addiction to Buffy is cute. Making Sebastian watch marathons of Buffy with her is cute. Reading and liking romance is subjective. Each reader is going to like different stuff. Because every romance author has their little "quirks" and also way of writing sex, the trick is to find an author who writes the fantasies YOU want to live out in your head. This can take a while. Kenyon's not "the one" for me in regards to romance books, but that's okay. She could be just the most perfect author ever for someone else. No judgment, this is just my personal take on the story. One real star, two romance stars. Feb 24, Tracy rated it liked it Shelves: z , reviewed. Kenyon does a great job of bringing the creativity and action of Star Wars to the drama and romance of Titanic. Adron, a former League assassin and the son of Nykyrian and Kiara from Born of Night , is in a living nightmare af 3. Adron, a former League assassin and the son of Nykyrian and Kiara from Born of Night , is in a living nightmare after being tortured and disfigured in the line of duty. In constant and immense pain, he cuts himself off from family and friends and turns to alcohol and solitude. Livia is trying to avoid her worst nightmare -- her tyrannical and abusive father marrying her off to a creepy old man who wants a virgin bride. Her only hope is to find a man and loose her virginity in the next 12 hours. Overall, I truly liked this story. I had not particularly liked the heroines in the previous novels, but liked Livia who was strong and confident, yet gentle and loving. Adron is reminiscent of his father, who is one of my favorite tortured heroes. However, after reading and loving the first three books, I question why Adron did not have a full book. Kenyon notes that it was difficult to get futuristic novels printed years ago. However, I wish she had broken out the original full novel for this release. Never-the-less, Fire and Ice is a good addition to the series. And while I would have preferred a longer, more detailed book, it was still a good story that will help tie me over until the next installment, Born in Shadows. View 1 comment. Jun 25, Cyndi rated it really liked it. I love the world Sherrilyn Kenyon has built. Not that I would want to visit, but voyeuristically reading about it is great! This book has three really great stories. A well known assassin is trying to while away the lonely hours of his forced retirement in a bar. Meanwhile a beautiful princess has decided to lose her virginity so the dirty old man her father is giving her to won't want to marry her. The two meet, she removes the pain of his war I love the world Sherrilyn Kenyon has built. The two meet, she removes the pain of his war wounds and he relieves her of her pesky virginity. But then they realize the healing was only a mask and he ends up in the hospital. When her father comes to claim and punish her the assassin announces they are married. It's a good story. Needed a bit more world building, but it's a novella so What if the hunky knight in the romance you are reading ends up in your bed the next morning? It's an adorable love story with magic and romance. A strong heroine who quickly learns how to manipulate the magic to achieve her goals, and an equally strong book boyfriend who only has eyes for her. Adds some depth to all MY fantasies, that's for sure. Which I love Channon has been studying dragons her entire life, so when she is studying a rare tapestry she is only mildly interested in the man who is trying to hit on her. Until she gets a good look at the man. Sebastian Kattalakis is definitely worth spending some time with. So, even though she knows it will be a one night stand, she's up for it. You go, girl! But then the mating mark shows up on his hand and Sebastian knows his goose is cooked. He has to take Channon back to his own time and possibly convince her to stay with him. After all, the mark means that he can never have sex with any one else but her. Talk about guaranteed monogamy. Love it!

Put them together with the magical ingredient of time travel and you have one happy kitty. All told, a highly satisfying and quick read. I recommend it both for readers already familiar with Sherrilyn's worlds and those looking for a better introduction than Fantasy Lover to said worlds. View all 3 comments.

Fire and Ice: This is part of Kenyon's League series and always it leaves you with the feeling that you wish there were more books to keep reading without having to wait. Futuristic romances between two characters both physically and mentally damages but with great hearts. They heal each other physically and mentally with their love.

Knightly Dreams: The story behind this one is the concept that a book chooses it's writer before they are completely written and they finish the story. The characters in this book revel against their story and finish it differently using the power of their love. Dragonswan: Part of the dark hunter series, even if you haven't read the series, this book is fun and magic. You get your heroine, your good looking-hot dragon and you get your fantasy love story. What more can you ask, maybe that it could have been longer, Great book to introduce yourself to these series if you are not familiar with them. May 01, Mary rated it it was amazing. Who knows which one. Since they're all pretty much soup, it could be Theo shook his head, "You know, Adron, if you want to spend the night with me, there are easier ways of going about it. You could just ask. Watching Spike prance around and be all Spikey, versus a couple hundred years of making love to a Greek god. My copy of this only contained The League short story - though I have read both of the other shorts in hardover and given each of them a 5star rating as well. This review is just for The League short story. Loved this short which had us visiting with Adron one of Nyk's sons who had been severely injured during his time as a League Assassin and his lady-love, princess on the run Livia. Adron's alcoholism and Livia's sheltered life make them seem an unlikely couple but I liked these two together My copy of this only contained The League short story - though I have read both of the other shorts in hardover and given each of them a 5star rating as well. Adron's alcoholism and Livia's sheltered life make them seem an unlikely couple but I liked these two together a lot. Their story was quite sweet and brought a glimpse of terra firma life in this series. The conflicts for this couple were more accessible as was the way of reacting to them. Brief appearances by familiar faces round out this one sitting read. Sep 01, Jessica rated it really liked it. I loved him. My heart broke for him and all his sorrows. I was so glad that he found happiness with Livia. They needed each other and made each other whole. This was a great start to this collection of stories. Hawk was a super gorgeous knight who was stuck in a half finished book and he was brought to life by Taryn. I enjoyed this one but not as much as the first one. Dragonswan OK this was the last story in this book and it is the beginning of the were hunters. I loved it and I loved that it was about dragons. Overall, a great compilation of stories. Livia typpa Vista was the absolutely perfect heroine for him. Knightly Dreams I didn't really like this one. Reminiscent of 80s type medieval romances. Kinda mushy and trite. I love me some dragons and Sebastian is currently my favorite. And Channon ain't bad either. Aug 13, Nicole rated it it was amazing. This was a great Kenyon collection, I wanted to read this when I finished all the dark-hunter novels but when I saw it had a short story from the league I read those first and I am glad I did, you dont need to but I think I understood Adron's character better having a bit of history on his and his family. You dont need much history on Sebastian for Dragonswan, honestly if you haven't read the dark-hunter books his character in them is extremely reclusive and you dont see him much anyway. Great r This was a great Kenyon collection, I wanted to read this when I finished all the dark-hunter novels but when I saw it had a short story from the league I read those first and I am glad I did, you dont need to but I think I understood Adron's character better having a bit of history on his and his family. Great read and I gave it 5 stars for a book of shorts it was more than I expected. Another great Kenyon! Sep 25, Beatrice Drury rated it really liked it. I had read Dragonswan in a standalone book. I love the Dark Hunter series and time travel both so I enjoyed this one even this time around. Knightly Dreams was quite intriguing. One example which helps the reader understand the Celtic concept of the otherworld is The Voyage of Saint Brendan. Another Classic example of a Celtic "otherworld" is the Voyage of Bran. The Otherworld is often portrayed as an island to the west in the Ocean in Celtic oral tradition, and even shown on some maps of Ireland during the medieval era. The otherworld in the idea of Celtic people became hard to distinguish and sometimes overlapped with the Christian idea of hell or heaven as this was often an analogy made to the Celtic idea of an otherworld or Scandinavian idea of a world tree. This is likely because of Roman and Scandinavian influences on Celtic cultures. Red and white are the colors of animals in the Celtic Otherworld, [9] and these colors still animate transcendent religious and political symbols today. As was the case in the Celtic mythologies , in Germanic myths apples were particularly associated with the Otherworld. The Early Slavs believed in a mythical place where birds flew for the winter and souls went after death; this realm was often identified with paradise and it is called Vyraj. Whereas the branches were said to be nested by the birds, who were usually identified as human souls. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Indo-European concept of hell.

Otherworld is a 32, square foot immersive art installation in Columbus. Explore over 40 scenes filled with large-scale art and mixed reality playgrounds. We switched to Timed Ticketing to minimize wait times and limit attendance to ensure social distancing. Tickets are now available online only. When purchasing a ticket you will be asked to select an entry time at checkout. We are taking additional precautions like increased surface cleaning, sanitizing stations, and requiring staff to wear masks. Masks are now required in accordance with the City of Columbus Mask Mandate. How soon that can happen depends on two unknowns: the prevalence of life in the galaxy and how lucky we get as we take those first, tentative, exploratory steps. James Webb, designed in part to investigate gas giants and super Earths, might find an outsized version of our planet. But unless we get lucky, the search for signs of life could take decades. Discovering another blue-white marble hidden in the star field, like a sand grain on the beach, will probably require an even larger imaging telescope. Designs are already underway for that next-generation planet finder, to be sent aloft in the s or s. First, the earth rotates on its axis, like a spinning top. Second, the earth revolves around the sun, like a tetherball at the end of a string going around the center pole. The top-like rotation of the earth on its axis is how we define the day. The time it takes the earth to rotate from noon until the next noon we define as one day. We further divide this period of time into 24 hours, each of which is divided into 60 minutes, each of which is broken into 60 seconds. There are no rules that govern the rotation rates of the planets, it all depends on how much "spin" was in the original material that went into forming each one. Giant Jupiter has lots of spin, turning once on its axis every 10 hours, while Venus takes days to spin once. The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. A year is the time it takes the earth to make one revolution - a little over days. We all learn in grade school that the planets move at differing rates around the sun. While earth takes days to make one circuit, the closest planet, Mercury, takes only 88 days. Poor, ponderous, and distant Pluto takes a whopping years for one revolution. Below is a table with the rotation rates and revolution rates of all the planets. We need to go back to the time of Galileo, except that we're not going to look at his work, but rather at the work of one of his contemporaries, Johannes Kepler Kepler briefly worked with the great Danish observational astronomer, Tycho Brahe. Tycho was a great and extremely accurate observer, but he did't have the mathematical capacity to analyze all of the data he collected. After Tycho's death in , Kepler was able to obtain Tycho's observations. Tycho's observations of planetary motion were the most accurate of the time before the invention of the telescope! Using these observations, Kepler discovered that the planets do not move in circles, as years of "Natural Philosophy" had taught. He discovered that they move in ellipses. https://files8.webydo.com/9593567/UploadedFiles/7B6EFD8B-0CDB-6486-D207-1A7DEB0F7265.pdf https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/c43e5584-ec1e-4eaa-b5af-1f436c341fa2/autogenes-und-mentaltraining-mit-strukturdiagrammen-die-kraft- der-visualisierung-nutzen-um-denk-468.pdf https://static.s123-cdn-static.com/uploads/4644549/normal_601f7af59f18b.pdf https://uploads.strikinglycdn.com/files/13df7a54-1a25-4b84-9783-e9f00edf2a1d/die-bedeutung-der-europaischen-zentralbank-und-des- hauptrefinanzierungssatzes-fur-eine-wirtschaftlic-372.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9586621/UploadedFiles/AD832BB5-B567-9ACC-32CF-AF0D3AD8CE9F.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9590823/UploadedFiles/71199148-FD71-F194-7D5D-CD82C1EF743A.pdf https://files8.webydo.com/9586116/UploadedFiles/A7576E92-9A34-69D9-5833-389071758732.pdf
