Legend centusiach
Jan Sztaudynger wrote about Krakow: "The best feeling here centusie and docentusie." Over the years, she arose the legend of Krakow exaggerated savings, even with greed. The origin of this belief goes back to the Austrian annexation, although the Galician economy was rather sad necessity than passion to collect the money. Colloquially determine centuś is marked by irony, and sometimes even offensive. However, Mieczyslaw Czuma and Leszek Mazan, indefatigable singer of everything Krakow, consider that a sympathetic determine from Cracow, emphasizing his innate sense to save. Is today in Krakow live centusie? Each of us probably knows at least one, though, says Andrzej Kazimierz Banach - author of books on legends of Krakow, it already other times and other centusie.

Spring season a traveler
As every year at this time the most closed myself up in the room and getting ready for the session, exams and writing papers at the end of the semester - so it was in the course of undergraduate studies. Changes were, however, at the moment when a person grew up a little bit, went to work and went for a master's degree but in absentia. I started to appreciate then stay with her friends / colleagues. But also I started their journeys big and small. Old town apartment on one end of the Polish and study center made it really sometimes had to figure out to find a guest rooms. Seldom has it happened to me I would have found something in the knowledge because most already had reserved seats. Searching the web is total madness for me - often densely happened that I learned about the changes in the plans a few days before class and we had to combine what to do here with you ... :)
Great idea not only for me but for my friends was what? Was renting in a 5-6 apartment. Yes - it really comes as cheap if you compare hotel rates as a decent standard. Anyone of you can benefit from this solution? It's good accomodation in that place?

Action Intelligent Systems
The free @ home developed by ABB includes more than 60 automated features. The solution allows you to control (using a tablet, smartphone or computer) different applications in a typical intelligent residential building, including applications, systems management of lighting, heating, blinds or communication input (intercom, gate, etc.). You can enter into the system the names of rooms and areas. So be programmed to receive confirmation of the command. For example, when you say "close the blinds in the living rooms", the system confirms: "All the blinds in the living room have been closed." You can also ask him about the state of the function, eg .: "the light in the room Tom is disabled?" And he will give you the answer.
Innovative voice activation function provides comfort and convenience of household members, to take full advantage of smart technology free @ home.
For the system to work flawlessly, ABB has introduced a hybrid solution for voice recognition - based on the principles of grammar and statistical language model. It can receive data in the form of natural speech or commands. You say: "Please turn on the light in the living room," or "living - light - turn." Processor dialog system voice control uses algorithms to recognize the context and intent of the user. Model speech adapts based on the words programmed in free @ home (names floors of the building, rooms and function). The system collects data based on context, but it also takes them from an extensive library of voice. If you receive an incomplete command will ask for additional information. In addition, the new menu "action" enables intelligent combination of different processes using sentences logical "if ..., then." For example, if the rooms temperature exceeds 25 ° C, the blinds are automatically closed - so nice accomodation . Very often, these types of solutions are used in apartments in major cities. Similarly, when the motion sensor is activated, you will be notified via e-mail or push services on your smartphone.
