Не зарекайтесь. Как в тюрьме встречают людей с татуировками, наколотыми «просто так» — Новости

Журналисты 66.RU поговорили с человеком, который провел последнее десятилетие в заключении, о том, какие татуировки в тюрьме не останутся незамеченными. По словам Дмитрия, как и во всем обществе, тюремные нравы по отношению к наколкам и их значениям за последние годы сильно смягчились — обладателей «самозванных» наколок на зоне стало так много, что борьба с ними потеряла всякий смысл. Однако из правил всегда есть исключения.

— Когда арестант попадает в камеру, у него обязательно спросят о значении изображений на его коже. Если он не сможет про них рассказать так, чтобы ему поверили, — его «попросят» их свести. И неважно, как это будет — по собственному желанию или нет. Впрочем, уверяю — в Абхазии на пляже с вас спросят больше, чем в тюрьме.

По словам собеседника 66.RU, нормально сейчас сидят и люди с иероглифами, и даже со свастикой на плечах. Вообще, объясняет он, чем больше наколок у человека, тем меньшее значение он имеет на зоне. К носителям большого количества татуировок относятся как к дурачкам. Но если у человека есть особенные тюремные татуировки с подтекстом, а он не соответствует заявленному изображением статусу, то без внимания он точно не остается.

Воровские звезды

Воровские звезды были у российского бойца смешанных единоборств Александра Емельяненко. Но он их почему-то забил сверху тучками.

В советское время «воровские звезды» могли носить только криминальные авторитеты, накалывавшие восьмиконечные узоры на ключицы или колени. Первое означало: «Никогда не надену погон», второе: «Никогда не встану на колени перед ментами».

«С тех пор статус этого рисунка несколько упал, но не настолько, чтобы понять и простить. Поэтому носителю такой живописи предстоит выбирать — выжигать ее сигаретами, кислотой или (если он очень дерзкий) вырезать ее вместе с кожей», — объясняет Дмитрий.

Звериный оскал

Тот, кто носит такую татуировку, как бы говорит: «Считаю себя уголовником и не собираюсь сотрудничать». Оскал подразумевает ненависть к представителям тюремной администрации и готовность на насильственные действия в отношении них.

«Заключенным на такую татуировку будет откровенно наплевать. А вот от тюремной администрации вы можете отхватить по первое число. И не раз», — рассказывает Дмитрий.

Паук

На самом деле в местах не столь отдаленных эта татуировка имеет два значения. Первое — перед вами наркоман. Второе — перед вами вор. Причем сидящий на паутине паук говорит о том, что арестант абсолютно не жалеет о своей судьбе.

— Если насекомое ползет вниз по паутине, то человек решил завязать с воровством. А вот ползущее вверх — явное обещание продолжить такую деятельность. При этом количество колец на паутине — значит срок, который человек провел в заключении. В общем, просто не колите пауков. Объяснение из серии, что это ваше любимое домашнее животное или что-то подобное, — не прокатит.

Кот

Даже любимые всеми «котики» — не самый безопасный выбор для татуировки. По сложившейся среди узников традиции превращать любое слово и изображение в аббревиатуру — «кот» будет означать «коренной обитатель тюрьмы». Да и без аббревиатуры милый котик на плече кроет в себе вора-домушника.

Но на самом деле изображение котов не любят еще по одной причине. Считается, что такие люди легко могут войти в доверие. Как объясняет Дмитрий, человека с «котиком» будут долго проверять — узнавать, как он жил на воле, соответствует ли то, что он о себе говорит, правде. И при малейшем несовпадении — такой сиделец вылетит к опущенным.

Колючая проволока

Изначально это изображение использовалось, чтобы подсчитывать годы, проведенные за решеткой. Вместо зарубок на стенке заключенные дорисовывали шипы к татуировке. Количество колючек на колючей проволоке означает годы в заключении.

— Колючая проволока была тайным знаком, который включал людей в тюремное сообщество. Да, время не стоит на месте, но она до сих пор является символом лишения свободы. И если вы первоход, а на вашем лице набита колючая проволока, то сколько угодно можете объяснять, что это символ борьбы с государственной системой, — вас все равно сочтут за дурачка. А их там не особо жалуют. Впрочем, как и везде.

А вот в женских колониях отношение к изображениям на теле — гораздо более лояльное. Но если прикопаются — придется отвечать.

90000 Illustrating the Zoning Ordinance 90001 90002 Historic PAS Report Series 90003 90004 PAS published its first Information Report in 1949. To celebrate this history, each month we’re presenting a new report from the archives. 90005 90004 We hope you enjoy this fascinating snapshot of a planning issue of yesteryear. 90005 90004 90009 90005 90011 90012 90013 90014 90004 AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLANNING OFFICIALS 90005 90004 1313 EAST 60TH STREET — CHICAGO 37 ILLINOIS 90005 90019 90020 90013 90022 Information Report No.165 90019 90024 December тисяча дев’ятсот шістьдесят дві 90019 90020 90027 90028 90029 Illustrating the Zoning Ordinance 90030 90004 Download original report (pdf) 90005 90004 Prepared by Jerome L. Kaufman 90005 90004 Of all the material the planner has a hand in preparing, the zoning ordinance is probably referred to and used by more people than any other. Owners want information on how the district regulations apply to their properties. Businessmen want to know what effect zoning will have, if any, on their potential investments.Attorneys must interpret the meanings of complex zoning provisions for their clients. Members of zoning appeals boards and local governing bodies must have a firm grasp of zoning principles, text provisions and administrative procedures to intelligently carry out their responsibilities. And planners, often the chief custodians of the ordinances, frequently are called upon to explain and interpret zoning provisions. 90005 90004 The zoning ordinance text, in addition to being the prime source of information on the most widely employed form of land use control, is an instrument of communication, requiring, though often lacking, a high degree of comprehensibility.To explain the ordinance, many communities prepare simplified information brochures that highlight its most important features. These brochures vary in style. Some use humor to illustrate the points made; others are sober and straightforward. Many contain a liberal sprinkling of photographs, diagrams and drawings. All are brief and nontechnical. The Appendix contains a list of selected zoning information brochures. 90005 90004 Although the information brochure has value, it only supplements the ordinance that ultimately must stand alone as a document.If a property owner, for example, has a question related to the zoning of his own lot, he consults the ordinance, not the information brochure, for clarification. If he is confused or stumped for an answer, the fault can probably be traced to the fact that the ordinance is difficult to use and to understand. How many persons have at some time felt bewildered and frustrated in the course of using a zoning ordinance, even though they may not have resorted to the extreme measures taken by the hapless soul shown in Figure 1? 90005 90004 Drafters of zoning ordinances, therefore, should pay careful attention to the form in which the ordinance is presented, constantly striving to make the document clear, intelligible and readable.By no means is this easy. Apart from the complexity of many traditional zoning concepts, the modern zoning ordinance is even more difficult to understand because its coverage is broader and its provisions are discussed more explicitly to avoid subsequent misinterpretation and misuse. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 1 90045 90005 90004 90048 90005 90004 The Zoning Ordinance Is Normally a Clear Concise Document with Liberal Cross References, and with Some of the Amendments Pasted In. * 90005 90004 In recent years, several techniques have been developed to make the zoning ordinance more readable.Statements of intent are inserted to clarify the purposes of the ordinance. An index of uses is usually included to provide the reader with a handy reference to the sections in which each is discussed. Summary charts are included which list major requirements — lot area, bulk, yards, frontage, parking, and similar specifications — for each zoning district. Good layout is achieved by avoiding cluttered pages, using more blank space and larger type, printing important headings in bold face type to make them stand out, using subheads, and making lines short enough to be taken in at a glance.90005 90004 Noticeably absent in most zoning ordinances, though, are illustrations and diagrams. Of more than 500 recent zoning ordinances in the ASPO files, less than ten per cent contained any kind of illustrative material. Yet many zoning terms and provisions could be greatly clarified with the aid of illustrations in the ordinance document. This report, therefore, has a simple point to make: use graphic material in the zoning ordinance to illustrate, explain and clarify. 90005 90029 Why Few Illustrations? 90030 90004 Diagrams and illustrations may serve several purposes in a zoning ordinance: (a) they clarify zoning terms and provisions; (B) they provide a handy reference to major features of the ordinance; and (c) they increase the readability of the ordinance.90005 90004 Zoning ordinance provisions easily lend themselves to graphic expression. The use of land and of the buildings, structures and objects occupying it are being regulated. These are concrete things, easy to visualize in either two or three dimensions. Diagrams serve to illuminate the important relationships between the physical objects discussed in the zoning ordinance, such as distances between structures and streets, between principal and accessory buildings, and between signs and buildings.If the benefits of illustrating the text are so obvious, why then are illustrations and diagrams so uncommon in zoning ordinances? 90005 90004 Perhaps the most important reason is the cost and time involved in preparing them. Usually, zoning ordinances are printed in large quantities, often at the lowest possible cost. It obviously costs more money and takes more time to prepare accompanying diagrams and drawings, especially if they are to be integrated with the text. Because sections of the zoning ordinance are sometimes amended, the community may be reluctant to prepare graphic material which may also have to be discarded.Many communities therefore decide that the cost of diagrams to illustrate parts of the text outweighs the benefits gained from having a zoning document which is easier to read and to understand. 90005 90004 Another explanation stems from the traditional failure of the technician to understand that his comprehension of technical concepts is much greater than that of the layman. The technician, because he frequently uses terms like floor area ratio, nonconforming use and transitional zoning, sometimes assumes that the layman is equally familiar with these and other zoning terms.Therefore, in preparing the ordinance for public distribution, the technician should use graphic material freely to clarify zoning terminology. 90005 90004 It is also possible that ordinance drafters shy away from using illustrations because they fear possible misinterpretation of the ordinance by the courts. Diagrams are usually examples of the way zoning provisions work; they show the application of provisions in typical situations. When a typical situation arises, the diagram could conceivably create uncertainty about the intent of the ordinance.To avoid this problem, some communities attach a simple disclaimer, indicating that the diagrams are only examples, and not actually parts of the ordinance. 90005 90029 Examples of Illustrations in the Ordinance 90030 90004 All sections of the zoning ordinance can benefit from graphic treatment. In 90071 The Text of a Model Zoning Ordinance, 90072 Bair and Bartley urge that diagrams be used in the definitions section: 90005 90074 90004 It is well to remember that a diagram sometimes tells more than many words.Diagrams are valid legal instruments of definition and cities will be well advised to utilize them as part of the definitions section of the ordinance. 90076 2 90077 90005 90079 90004 There are numerous possibilities for using illustrations to good advantage in the district regulations section of the zoning ordinance. Quite often, the ordinance contains lengthy, involved passages describing how particular uses — parking facilities, accessory uses, signs — should be handled in a particular zoning district.An appropriate diagram or illustration can aid considerably in clarifying the text provisions. Complicated methods for dealing with special situations, such as computing the setback of a new building in a developed residential block, sometimes are difficult to understand without accompanying illustrative diagrams. Another use of graphics is to show with a single illustration how the major requirements for a particular zoning district — setback, height, yard, parking, lot area — apply to a typical structure.The ordinance user will then have a better idea of ​​the distinguishing characteristics of each zoning district. 90005 90004 Even the section on administration and amendments could benefit from some graphic treatment. Flow charts, similar to those commonly used in subdivision ordinances to illustrate the plat approval procedure, could help explain the steps involved in obtaining a variance or a special permit, or in amending the ordinance. 90005 90004 In the following discussion, a number of diagrams and illustrations taken from adopted and proposed zoning ordinances are shown.By no means are these the only ones that can be included in the ordinance. They are presented here as examples of how illustrations have actually been employed to improve understanding of zoning ordinances. 90005 90004 90044 Clarifying Definitions 90045 90005 90004 Many zoning provisions are difficult to understand, either because the terms defined are unfamiliar or because they are defined in a special and detailed way. 90076 3 90077 No matter how exact and accurate definitions are, certain terms may still require further clarification.90005 90004 Take for example, the definition for sky exposure plane in the Baltimore, Maryland, proposed zoning ordinance: 90005 90074 90004 An imaginary plane beginning at a lot line or directly above a street line at a height set forth in the district regulations, and rising over a slope determined by an acute angle measured down from the vertical as set forth in the district regulations. 90076 4 90077 90005 90079 90004 The definition has two characteristics. It deals with a concept few people have ever heard of before, and it defies understanding on first reading.Yet it does provide an accurate description of the term; the fault is that the words fail to convey clearly the meaning. Aware of this, the ordinance drafters inserted a simple diagram (Figure 2) in the ordinance to clarify the new concept. Thus the term sky exposure plane, when read in conjunction with the diagram, loses its mystery and becomes reasonably clear. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 2 90045 90005 90004 90071 Illustration of Sky Exposure Plane 90072 90005 90004 90113 90005 90004 h is the height of the sky exposure plane (this height equals h2, the maximum height within the initial setback distance) 90005 90004 s is the initial setback distance 90005 90004 a is the angle of slope of the sky exposure plane 90005 90004 (f) is the depth of the front yard 90005 90004 Even floor area ratio, a term technicians frequently employ, can benefit from graphic treatment in the zoning ordinance.To most laymen, the concept is new. Floor area ratio is defined in the Boston, Massachusetts, proposed zoning ordinance as «the ratio of gross floor area of ​​a structure to the total area of ​​the lot.» 90076 5 90077 Although the definition is concise, it gives no clue that optional building arrangements are permitted on the site with consequent flexibility in design. With the accompanying illustrations (Figure 3), however, these qualities are clearly expressed. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 3 90045 90005 90004 90071 Ratio of Floor Area to Lot Area 90072 90005 90004 90136 90005 90004 There are other examples of terms defined in zoning ordinances which are both unfamiliar to the layman, and difficult to understand solely from the text discussion.A few of these definitions and their illustrations are shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6, taken from the proposed New York 90076 6 90077 and New Haven 90076 7 90077 zoning ordinances. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 4 90045 90005 90004 90149 90005 90004 640. Site Area, Gross. The «gross site area» of any 90071 large-scale development 90072 shall include the 90071 net site area 90072 thereof, plus the area between the boundaries of all 90071 zoning lots 90072 located within that 90071 development 90072 and the center line of adjoining 90071 streets 90072.90005 90004 90044 Figure 5 90045 90005 90004 90168 90005 90004 641. Site Area, Net. The «net site area» of any 90071 large-scale development 90072 shall (subject to the provisions of section 722) include the area of ​​all 90071 zoning lots 90072 within that 90071 development 90072. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 6 90045 90005 90004 90183 90005 90004 Vertical Building Section: The two-dimensional figure or figures that result from the intersection of a vertical plane parallel to a 90071 side 90072 or 90071 rear lot line 90072 with a 90071 principal building 90072 or 90071 principal buildings.90072 90005 90004 The zoning ordinance also contains definitions of terms common in everyday speech, but which are used in a special, often unfamiliar way in the text of the ordinance. These words are easily misunderstood unless their special meaning is emphasized. Illustrations are useful to clarify such definitions and bring them to the attention of the ordinance user. 90005 90004 Two examples are the words «cellar» and «basement». The dictionary meaning of basement is «the floor in a building next below the principal floor.»A cellar is defined as» a room or set of rooms below the surface of the ground, usually under a building. «These definitions, however, are not explicit enough for zoning purposes. The Los Angeles County zoning ordinance makes a more exact distinction — one infrequently made in ordinary language: 90005 90074 90004 90071 basement 90072: that portion of a building between floor and ceiling, which is partly below and partly above grade but so located that the vertical distance from grade to the floor below is less than the vertical distance from grade to ceiling.90005 90004 90071 cellar 90072: that portion of a building between floor and ceiling which is wholly or partly below grade and so located that the vertical distance from grade to the floor below is equal to or greater than the vertical distance from grade to ceiling. 90076 8 90077 90005 90079 90004 90044 Figure 7 90045 90005 90004 90216 90005 90004 The terms are difficult to understand from the text, but the accompanying illustration (Figure 7) clearly shows the differences. It is interesting to note that a familiar term like basement can have different meanings in different ordinances.Figure 8 indicates that the St. Clair County, Michigan, 90071 Zoning Manual 90072, which contains a model zoning ordinance, defines a basement9 exactly opposite to the way in which it is defined in the Los Angeles ordinance. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 8 90045 90005 90004 90071 Basement & Story 90072 90005 90004 90231 90005 90004 Two other examples illustrating how graphics are used in zoning ordinances to clarify familiar words defined in detailed, special or unfamiliar ways are shown in Figures 9 and 10.90005 90004 90044 Figure 9 90045 90005 90004 SECTION 144 90240 PARCEL OF LAND 90005 90004 90243 90005 90004 * SECTION 144. PARCEL OF LAND. 90005 90004 «Parcel of Land» means a contiguous quantity of land, in the possession of, or owned by, or recorded as the property of, the same claimant or person. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 10 90045 90005 90004 SECTION 137 90240 GRADE 90005 90004 90257 90005 90004 SECTION 137. GRADE. 90005 90004 «Grade» (ground level) is the average of the finished ground level at the center of all walls of a building.In case walls are parallel to and within five feet (5 ‘) of sidewalks, the above ground level shall be measured at the sidewalks. 90005 90004 90044 Distinguishing Related Terms 90045 90005 90004 Most zoning ordinances define several kinds of lots, yards, buildings, dwellings, setbacks, and signs. To the occasional user of the ordinance, the distinctions between a group of related terms may not be obvious from the text. Their real meanings may be easier to understand if their relationships to each other can be visualized.To clarify the distinctions between front, side and rear yards, for example, a composite diagram (Figure 11) is included in the St. Clair, Michigan, model zoning ordinance. 90076 10 90 077 In this way, the user has a single, handy visual reference to terms that are used throughout the ordinance for the three types of yards. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 11 90045 90005 90004 90276 90005 90004 k. 90071 Yards 90072: The open spaces on the same lot with a main building, unoccupied and unobstructed from the ground upward except as otherwise provided in this Ordinance, and as defined herein: 90005 90074 90004 (1) 90071 Front Yard 90072: Is an open space extending the full width of the lot, the depth of which is the minimum horizontal distance between the front lot line and the nearest line of the main building.90005 90004 (2) 90071 Rear Yard 90072: Is an open space extending the full width of the lot the depth of which is the minimum horizontal distance between the rear lot line and the nearest line of the main building. 90005 90004 (3) 90071 Side Yard: 90072 Is an open space between a main building and the side lot line, extending from the front yard to the rear yard, the width of which is the horizontal distance from the nearest point of the side lot line to the nearest point of the main building.90005 90079 90004 A good example of how diagrams can be used to clarify related terms is illustrated in the Cayce, South Carolina, zoning ordinance. Both lots and yards are defined in the text. Four types of lots — corner, interior, through, and reversed frontage — are defined and illustrated as shown in Figure 12. In an attempt to be explicit, the ordinance drafters define several kinds of yards and then show how these vary depending on the lot type in question. Although a front yard is ordinarily «a yard extending between side lot lines across the front of a lot,» 90076 11 90 077 it has a slightly different meaning for through and corner lots.Similarly, side and rear yards have different meanings. The two terms — yard and lot — and their variations are illustrated in one diagram (Figure 13). Note the similarity in layout between this diagram and the diagram for lot types shown in Figure 12. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 12 90045 90005 90004 90071 Lot Types 90072 90005 90004 90309 90005 90004 400.20. 90071 Lot 90072 90071 types 90072 90005 90074 90004 400.201. 90071 Corner lot 90072: A lot located at the intersection of two or more streets.A lot abutting on a curved street or streets shall be considered a corner lot if straight lines drawn from the foremost point of the side lot lines to the foremost point of the lot (or an extension of the lot where it has been rounded by a street radius) at an interior angle of less than 135 degrees. See lots marked A (1) in lot types diagram. 90005 90004 400.202. 90071 Interior lot 90072: A lot other than a corner lot with only one frontage on a street other than an alley. See lots marked B in lot types diagram.90005 90004 400.203. 90071 Through lot 90072: A lot other than a corner lot with frontage on more than one street other than an alley. Through lots with frontage on two streets may be referred to as double frontage lots. See lot marked C in lot types diagram. 90005 90004 400.204. 90071 Reversed frontage lot 90072: A lot which is at right angles, or approximately right angles, to the general pattern in the area involved. A reversed frontage lot may also be a corner lot or an interior lot (A-D and B-D) in diagram, or even, in rare cases, a through lot (not illustrated).90005 90079 90004 90044 Figure 13 90045 90005 90004 90071 Yards on Rectangular Lots 90072 90005 90004 90344 90005 90004 400.311. 90071 Front 90072: A yard extending between side lot lines across the front of a lot. . . 90005 90004 In the case of 90071 through lots 90072, unless the prevailing front yard pattern on adjoining lots indicates otherwise, front yards shall be provided on all frontages. Where one of the front yards that would normally be required on a through lot is not in keeping with the prevailing yard pattern, the administrative official may waive the requirement for the normal front yard and substitute therefore a special yard requirement which shall not exceed the average of the yards provided on adjacent lots.90005 90004 In the case of 90071 corner lots 90072 which do not have reversed frontage, a front yard of the required pattern shall be provided in accordance with the prevailing yard pattern and a second front yard of half the depth required generally for front yards in the district shall be provided on the other frontage. 90005 90004 400.312. 90071 Side 90072: A yard extending from the rear line of the required front yard to the rear lot line. In the case of through lots, side yards shall extend from the rear lines of the front yards required.In the case of corner lots, the yards remaining after full and half-depth front yards have been established shall be considered to be side yards. 90005 90004 400.313. 90071 Rear 90072: A yard extending across the rear of the lot between inner side yard lines. In the case of through lots and corner lots, there will be no rear yard. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 14 90045 90005 90004 90371 90005 90004 Two other examples showing differences between lot types in one diagram are depicted in Figures 14 and 15.In the Kern County, California, 90076 12 90 077 illustration (Figure 14), the lots are labeled by name rather than number, while the Des Moines, Iowa, ordinance 90076 13 90 077 shows the lots in perspective (Figure 15). 90005 90004 90044 Figure 15 90045 90005 90004 90384 90005 90004 Other diagrams used to clarify related zoning definitions are found in the St. Clair County, Michigan, model zoning ordinance. 90076 14 90 077 Two kinds of distinctions are made. Figure 16 clarifies several terms related because they describe the parts of a structure.Figure 17 clarifies several terms related because they stem from the same generic term, in this case, dwellings. 90005 90004 90044 Figure 16 90045 90005 90004 90071 Basic Structural Terms 90072 90005 90004 90399 90005 90004 90044 Figure 17 90045 90005 90004 90071 Types of Dwellings 90072 90005 90004 90410 90005 90004 90044 Summarizing Sections 90045 90005 90004 The zoning ordinance is broad in scope, designating area, height, use, and density requirements for all parts of the community, as well as providing provisions for administering the zoning program.Because it is so comprehensive, summary statements and diagrams help to make the ordinance more useable and readable. A schedule of district regulations, listing the major requirements for each zoning district, is an excellent technique.

Instead, he urges you to put your best ball-handler and creator there. It’s does not matter if they’re 5’2 «. 90005 90004 Big players usually are not as good at catching and handling a ball in traffic. But if you put one of your best ball handlers in the high post area, they will be able to drive around the bigger defensive players.They can score, dish, and cause lots of problems for the defense. This especially causes match up problems for the defense because they always put the biggest clumsier players in the middle of the zone defense. They will not be able stop your quick guards. 90005 90004 Coaches should take a real good look at just putting one of their taller kids in the middle — because usually those kids do not pass or shoot it very well and you do not attack as well with that kind of kid.90005 90004 90009 Strategy # 2 — Attack from Behind the Zone 90010 90005 90029 90004 One of the best ways to attack from behind the zone it to always have at least one player in the short corner area. 90005 90004 You’ll find that on almost every ball reversal the player in the short corner will be open. Then the wing can pass down to the open player in the short corner. 90005 90004 Once the ball is there, this is a very tough place to guard because at the moment none of the defenders are looking at the short corner player (because he or she is «behind» the zone).90005 90004 Once the ball is caught in the short corner you have several excellent options to get high percentage shots … 90005 90038 90039 90040 If wide open, the short corner player can take one step to the basket for a lay up. 90041 90040 The short corner player can shot fake and take it to the hole. 90041 90044 90045 90046 90040 The player in the middle can dive to the basket and receive the pass from short corner (this seems to be open for a lay up almost 50% of the time).90041 90044 90050 90051 90040 If they double down, the short corner can kick it out for a wide open three pointer. 90041 90044 90004 The key is to force the defense to guard what is front of them (with ball reversals, cutting, and screening actions) and then attack from behind the zone. It works extremely well! 90005 90004 90009 Strategy # 3 — Put Em Where They Is not 90010 90005 90004 I can thank Coach Ken Sartini for reminding me about this strategy and catchy phrase… 90005 90004 I heard a college coach say this about attacking zones … «it’s not rocket science … put em where they aint!» 90005 90004 Keep things simple, put your kids in the gaps of the zone. 90005 90004 This is a common strategy but I feel it’s worth mentioning in this context because it’s a good reminder to keep things simple. Attacking a zone does not have to be complicated. 90005 90004 Not to mention, wording things so players understand can certainly help.Sometimes when you say «find the gap» players do not really understand what you mean (even when they tell you that they do understand). 90005 90004 Try wording things differently. Simply tell your players to find spots where’s there no defense (go where they is not at). 90005 90004 90009 Do you currently employ all three of these strategies? 90010 90005 90004 I’ll bet not. Use these simple suggestions and you’ll get better.

Let’s Take a Look — VIDEO 90001 90002 There’s a classic episode of 90003 Friends 90004 in which Monica explains to Chandler that there are seven female erogenous zones. Each zone has a corresponding number, and she maps out different combinations (a-one-two-three!) That could potentially lead to pleasure. Then she launches into a euphoric «SEVEN. SEVEN. SEVEN!» resulting in thunderous studio audience laughter and applause, and us going: 90003 What is that !! I want a seven-gasm! 90004 90007 90002 Women who watched the show thought, «Waaaaait.What am I missing in the bedroom? 90003 Seven 90004 zones? I’m ditching 90003 Cosmo 90004 for NBC, bitches, «while men vehemently committed to finding they mysterious seventh zone, wherever the hell it may be (in the nose?). It gave them a new mission beside finding a woman’s clitoris. ( Hint: that’s probably what seven was, anyway.) 90007 90002 Even if we can assume what «seven» most likely was, we’ve still got six other numbers to deal with. And since the Internet exists, this internal wonderment has come to full discussion on the Web.Women and men have taken to Yahoo! Answers, the beacon of lowbrow Internet discussions, to ponder Monica’s zones. When in doubt, going to the Internet to discover the answers to your most pressing sexual pop culture questions, is never a bad idea. 90007 90002 Anyway, since 90003 Friends 90004 is hitting the 10 year anniversary of its finale, this question seemed worthy of revisiting. But first, let’s revisit that scene: 90007 90002 Alright, Internet, tell us what’s up! 90007 90002 Well, some guy referred to them as the 7 «erotic zones.»Because your body is erotic. 90007 90002 We also have this answer: 90007 90026 Wallet — Credit cards — Cash — Nice car — Nice house — Fancy clothes — Foreign vacations. 90027 90002 GREECE! ROME! ITALY! PARIS! 90007 90002 Uhh, okay. No thanks, dude. A nice house will 90003 not 90004 get her off, FYI. 90007 90002 In the same thread, we have this scientific gem: 90007 90026 eye’s ears nose throat back of neck inside thighs ankles 90027 90002 Besides the poor grammar, please, for the love of Trojan man and birth control, do 90003 not 90004 stick something in my eye or try to grope the inside of my throat.90007 90002 And lest we forget, some real chauvinists on the Internet like to turn the conversation to being about them: 90007 90026 1) Penis 2) Penis 3) Penis 4) Penis 5) Penis 6) Penis 7) Penis What? Guys can have erogenous zones too! 90027 90002 But that’s not what we’re talking about here. Maybe we’re talking about your spirituality? 90007 90026 The seven spots on everyone’s body could be chakras. 90027 90002 Wake up mah chakras, please! 90007 90002 Anyway, this is not helping. I need answers.Real answers. So what 90003 are 90004 these zones, anyway? 90007 90002 Well, for starters, there are are not seven zones. Take a gander on the net and you’ll discover that there are well more than seven. Sure, there are some basic erogenous zones — breasts, clitoris, neck, but there are articles out there telling women to explore some uncommon places like behind the knees, the abs, the elbow fold … Depending on who you are, different things will work for you. 90007 90002 And that’s the point: this legendary pop culture sexual code is open to interpretation to the viewer.Whatever your six is, that’s your six, even if it’s «fancy clothes» like that Yahoo! dude suggested. What turns you on, turns 90003 you 90004 on, so in this case … Yahoo! and the Internet with their variable, head-scratching answers may very well be right. Essentially, no two women are the same and they will be turned on to different things — but we 90003 can 90004 infer what this one is … 90007 90002 Hint: Not the credit card. Please do not touch my credit card. 90007 90002 90003 Image: NBC; Tumblr / onica Gellar GIF 90004 90007.90000 What Is a Time Zone? 90001 90002 The term time zone can be used to describe several different things, but mostly it refers to the local time of a region or a country. 90003 90002 Our Time Zone Map is always current. 90003 90002 timeanddate.com 90003 90002 At timeanddate.com we define a time zone as a region where the same standard time is used. 90003 90010 Time Difference from UTC 90011 90002 The local time within a time zone is defined by its offset (difference) from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the world’s time standard.90003 90002 UTC time changes 1 hour forward and backward corresponding to a 1-hour difference in mean solar time for every 15 degrees east or west of the prime meridian (0 ° longitude) in Greenwich, London, United Kingdom. The offset is expressed as either UTC- or UTC + and the number of hours and minutes. 90003 90002 Interactive Time Zone Map 90003 90010 More Than 24 Time Zones 90011 90002 If each time zone were 1 hour apart, there would be 24 in the world. However, the actual borders on the time zone map have been drawn to match up with both internal and international borders, and rarely match up exactly with the 15-degree longitudes.Also, the International Date Line (IDL), creates 3 time zones and several time zones are only 30 and 45 minutes apart. This makes the total number of time zones worldwide much higher. 90003 90010 Daylight Saving Time Zones 90011 90002 Regions that use Daylight Saving Time (DST) change the time zone name and time during the DST period. The words «daylight» or «summer» are then usually included in the time zone name. The areas that do not use DST remain on standard time zone all year. 90003 90002 For example, California uses Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) during the DST period, but Pacific Standard Time (PST) during the rest of the year.90003 90010 Not the Same as Local Time 90011 90002 The term time zone is often used instead of local time. For instance, during DST, it is common to say «California and Arizona are now in the same time zone.» However, the correct thing to say would be: «California and Arizona now have the same local time.» 90003 90002 The reason is that California’s local time during DST is UTC-7, but the standard time in California is minus one more hour: UTC-8. However, Arizona’s local time is always UTC-7, because there’s no DST in Arizona, and they remain on standard time all year.90003 90002 Why do we have time zones? 90003 90002 DST worldwide 90003 90010 Local Time Zone Names 90011 90002 Mountain Standard Time or Mountain Daylight Time or just Mountain Time? 90003 90002 PunchStock.com 90003 90002 To confuse matters more, each time zone can have different local time zone names, usually linked to the geographical name of the country or region. The time zone names may be completely different, even though the UTC offset is the same. 90003 90002 For instance in Miami, Florida, is 5 hours behind UTC (UTC-5) and the standard time zone is 90003.
