Chodov (Sokolov District)

Chodov (; ) is a town in Sokolov District in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. It has a population of about 13,000 people.

History 
Chodov was originally a Slavic settlement. Its name comes from an old Slavic term "choda", which means a road. The Slavic colonisation was not successful and in the Middle Ages this part of Bohemia was colonised by Germans. In the 12th–13th century Chodov belongs to the monastery in Waldsassen and in the 14th–17th century is ruled locally from Loket. In 1894 Chodov is declared a town and gets the right to use its own coat of arms.

From 1938 to 1945 it was one of the municipalities in Sudetenland. Until the end of World War II the town was inhabited practically only by Germans, who were exiled from Czechoslovakia after the war. In the '60s a big chemical factory was built 4 km from Chodov in Vřesová and then new districts were built for the Czech and Slovak workers who moved here.

Demography

Sights 

The most significant is Church of St. Lawrence, built by the constructor Brauenbock according to the plans of the architect Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer. On the main shrine there is a painting by the famous Czech-German artist Peter Johann Brandl. In front of the church we find a 17th-century statue of St. Sebastian and on the main square a statue of the Virgin Mary (1675). The other church in the town belongs to the Protestants, Czech Brethren. Close to the gate of the Protestant church there is a monument to war victims. It was re-erected in 1998 exactly 100 years after its first erection.

Minecraft Dungeons

Minecraft Dungeons is a game released in 2020 by Mojang Studios. Unlike the normal Minecraft, you can not jump, build, and mine in Minecraft Dungeons. In this game, you can only attack mobs and use artifacts.

Gameplay 
In this game, you cannot build, mine, and jump. This game focuses on attacking mobs. An object called the Orb of Dominance is a pink circled object which sounds like an enderman. This ender object was from the End dimension, and created monsters and bosses. Players explore an open world with lots of dungeons containing monsters, bosses, blocks, puzzles, and secret areas in the game. This game player limit is 4 players, and has an online game.

Downloadable contents 
This game has 6 downloadable contents, and also contains mobs, puzzles, blocks, and secrets. The downloadable contents are:

"Jungle Awakens" - takes place in a jungle.
"Creeping Winter" - takes place in a snowy tundra.
" Howling Peaks" - takes place in the mountains.
" Flames of the Nether - takes place in the Nether dimension, and the only Minecraft Dungeons DLC without a final boss fight.
" Hidden Depths" - takes place in an ocean.
" Echoing Void" - takes place in the End dimension.

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

Continued fraction

A continued fraction is a concept from mathematics and number theory.  It is wtitten as an integer, plus a fraction.  The numerator of the fractiion, is again an integer, and for the denominator, the rule repeats. Every real number can be expressed as a continued fraction. While it is possible to use continued fractions for calculations, they are used to find approximations for irrational numbers. 

Leonhard Euler and Joseph-Louis Lagrange first formalized the concept, even though it was used before.

Tunnel construction

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

Parallel import

When a company imports a product from abroad, and sells it at home, even though  the manufacturer sells the product as well, this  is known as parallel import. Such products are real, they are not counterfeit. These imports are legal, but they happen without the permission of the company who sells these products. Very often, they are called grey product.

Parallel importing is done for different reasons:

 The product has been adapted to the specific market, and the versions are different. 
 The price is different. The company who does the parallel import buys the product at a lower price abroad, and will sell it at a price that is higher, but still below the price of the product at home.
 Some people are able to obtain a better price, for example by buying abroad, or avoiding taxes. The idea is to give something back to those people who cannot get these benefits. 

In the case of drugs, parallel importing may reduce the price of the drug, by introducing competition.
