What have endeared Su Shi to countless followers in nearly a thousand years all over the world lie not only in his outstanding achievements in literary and arts, but also in his optimism in adversity. This paper probes into the insight secrets of why he could be happy most of the time to enlighten people nowadays to lead a happy, easy and peaceful life. Firstly, transcending constantly through keeping adjusting his expectations in accordance with the everchanging circumstances: transcending conventions to realize his people-oriented ambition when he was a young official; transcending material limitations when he was exiled for the first time to Huangzhou; transcending fame and power when he was back to court with great power; transcending himself when he was exiled for the second time to Huizhou and finally transcending everything when he was banished to the most remote Danzhou on Hainan Island; and secondly, seeing every circumstance in a positive light: overlooking the negative and magnifying the positive; indulging himself in the beauty of the nature; enjoying the present moment and being optimistic about the future without thinking.

<p align="right">Only by investing in the artistry of our humanity <br/>will we create a peaceful, prosperous planet</p> “These times are riven with anxiety and uncertainty” asserts John O’Donohue.<sup>1</sup> “In the hearts of people some natural ease has been broken. … Our trust in the future has lost its innocence. We know now that anything can happen. … The traditional structures of shelter are shaking, their foundations revealed to be no longer stone but sand. We are suddenly thrown back on ourselves. At first, it sounds completely naïve to suggest that now might be the time to invoke beauty. Yet this is exactly what … [we claim]. Why? Because there is nowhere else to turn and we are desperate; furthermore, it is because we have so disastrously neglected the Beautiful that we now find ourselves in such a terrible crisis.”<sup>2</sup> Twenty‑first century society yearns for a leadership of possibility, a leadership based more on hope, aspiration, innovation, and beauty than on the replication of historical patterns of constrained pragmatism. Luckily, such a leadership is possible today. For the first time in history, leaders can work backward from their aspirations and imagination rather than forward from the past.<sup>3</sup> “The gap between what people can imagine and what they can accomplish has never been smaller.”<sup>4</sup> Responding to the challenges and yearnings of the twenty‑first century demands anticipatory creativity. Designing options worthy of implementation calls for levels of inspiration, creativity, and a passionate commitment to beauty that, until recently, have been more the province of artists and artistic processes than the domain of most managers. The time is right for the artistic imagination of each of us to co‑create the leadership that the world most needs and deserves.

The first person to use the term “museology” in the Czech environment seems to have been Mr. Kliment Cermák, teacher and museologist, who for the first time formulated a need for special education to be provided for museum workers in his article Education in Museology from 1901 published under his editorship in the Bulletin of Czech & Slavonic Archaeological and Museum Association. His publication activities were continued by V. V. Jenícek in the magazine “Czech & Slavonic Museum Annals” between 1902 and 1910 and by Albín Stocký in the magazine “Museum Horizon” published between 1925 and 1928. In Slovakia, there were A. Kmet’ and F. Sasinek, and later P. Kri ko, M. Rybecký, A. Gregorová and M. Lalkovic, standing at the beginning and formation of museology. This generation, and for the most part also the following generation, were on a level comparable with the European elite but they published mainly in the Czech language, therefore they remained more or less hidden from the rest of the world. Museology undoubtedly has a long tradition in Central Europe and this paper aims to reflect the present status and key issues in the environment of the former Czechoslovakia.

This article presents, for the first time, the meaning of the metaplot in the books of fables by I. A. Krylov. The metaplot of a lion is canonical for the fable genre and represents an invariant model of power in the fictional world. The purpose of this article is to identify and describe the metaplot as one of the significant factors of Krylov’s literary strategy, as he created the nine volumes of fables during a dynamic literary process and change in the dominant trends in the national verbal culture of the first half of the 19th century. The idea of the fabulist regarding the lion’s metaplot is revealed in the horizontal sphere of the world, the prevalence of negative tendencies and the tragic, but natural ending of the character in the eighth and ninth books. The authors of this article consider the infernal space in the metaplot of a lion as a structural part of a moralistic message, dialogically addressed to the character; they fix the correlation between the plot punishment and the emergence of the space of hell in the nine-book. Reconstruction of the character's individual hell, taking into account his passions, shows that Krylov’s use of infernal space is not accidental, which in the future will give researchers ample opportunities for analyzing the space of his entire meta-concept. This article focuses on the chronological points of actualization of the metaplot in the work of the fabulist, in particular, in 1818-1819, as well as his transferability of the texts within the framework of the nine books, which is obviously connected with his special vision of the intertextual integrity of the project.

‘Brazil hosts the Olympic Games’ examines the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro on 5 August 2016. This was the first time the games took place in South America. Watched live by hundreds of millions of people around the world, the four-hour ceremony reveals something about Brazil and its national experience. It provides insights into what makes Brazilians proud to be Brazilian, as well as anxieties behind those sources of pride. The themes concern the importance of nature and its preservation; the importance of the future in Brazilians’ view of the world; Brazil’s alleged vocation for peaceful inclusion; and the informality of the Brazilian way of getting things done.

As part 3 (It’s the Future, but It Looks like the Present: Queer Speculations on Media Time) turns to the cultural and technological reproduction of speculative futures imagined in audiovisual form, chapter 5 focuses on two speculative films whose genealogy in queer screen history is secure yet which rarely appear in canons of science fiction media: Derek Jarman’s 1978 punk dystopia Jubilee and Lizzie Borden’s 1983 lesbian political fantasy Born in Flames. It argues that that the construction of science fiction film as a heteronormative, capitalist genre defined by spectacular special effects obscures the work done by queer speculative independent film. Alternatively, Jarman and Borden project politicized futures into the people and locations of a present whose shifting temporal location refuses progressive teleologies. The films share an intense focus on media and communication even as they offer contrasting strategies for building futures out of a present moment saturated with representations of the end of the world. Jubilee brings the present to light as a dystopian future whose polite public face hides deep-seated violence; Born in Flames shows us how the politics of revolutionary transformation replicate the problems of the untransformed world through the failure to reckon with them.

The author studies the problem of intercultural cooperation between Russia and Italy in the field of ballet art. Since this type of interaction has been ongoing for several centuries, the research is divided into two vectors: the historical-cultural and the critical ones. Besides, the author considers an important issue of the origins of the cultural cooperation stemming from the opera art, traditional for Italy. The article considers not only the chronological component of Russia-Italy cooperation during the 18th - the 21st centuries, but also explains (in the socio-cultural and critical ways) the processes of surge and slump of interest in this form of cultural communication. The author detects and explains a unique pattern - the initial priority of Italians at the Russian scene of the 19th century, and the following radical change of this influence - a triumphal conquering of Europe by the Russian masters, whose talent is still appreciated. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that for the first time attention is not only given to the very historical chronology of the visits of Italian dancers to the Russian Imperial Ballet Scene, but also the dynamics of this process is explained. Moreover, the article is the first work focusing on the change of a locomotive component in the system of the Italy-Russia cultural exchange which&nbsp; took place in the late 20th century. Thus, the scientific novelty and importance of the research consist in the attempt to study the process of intercultural cooperation in its development from the 18th century to the present moment. Such an approach allows detection the historical, socio-cultural and critical components, and helps to reveal the topicality of this problem for the modernity, when art is still a soft mechanism of, among other things, political and geographical interaction between countries, forming a &ldquo;cultural portrayal&rdquo; of the country on the world map.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Tourism is one of the most important sectors supporting the economy of Indonesia. One way to develop the Indonesian tourism is strengthening the image of Indonesia in the world. To strengthen the image, Indonesia has replaced the old brand, “Visit Indonesia”, and launched a new brand, “Wonderful Indonesia”. Besides the logo, in order to campaign “Wonderful Indonesia,” some television commercials have been launched. An advertising, which creates a powerful image, not only has a great power to influence the viewers but can also be a double-edged sword. Advertising can become a mirror of reality, but it can also become a distorted mirror of reality. A similar case happens with Wonderful Indonesia television commercial, which was released early in 2012 by the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. The television commercial is considered to have distorted the image of Indonesia in the world by displaying only the culture, society, and nature of Java and Bali. Meanwhile, the other Wonderful Indonesia television commercial, “Feeling is Believing,” which was launched by Indonesia Tourism Board in 2012 considered to have become quite successful framing the beauty, and diversity of the cultures, communities, regions, and natures of Indonesia. Learning from the mistakes, and considering the importance of an image, the future Wonderful Indonesia television commercial should be dealt more carefully. The image that is proper to represent Indonesia, the visual signifier should reflect the intended signified precisely.

Planning Problems

For the first time in the world, mivar expert systems were used for solving action planning problems for robotic systems. The KESMI (Wi!Mi) Razumator solution was used to create a mivar-based system called MIPRA (mivar-based intelligent planner of robot actions), which delivers a qualitative (by several orders of magnitude) boost to the process of solving STRIPS-type problems, i. e. constructing algorithms for planning the actions of a robot tasked with relocating blocks in the blocks-world domain. Practical experiments, which any researcher can verify and replicate, have shown that, instead of many hours and powerful multiprocessor servers, MIPRA, runs on an ordinary computer and takes seconds to solve problems involving relocations of the following numbers of blocks: 10 blocks – 0.98 s; 50 blocks – 3.44 s; 100 blocks – 10.57 s; 200 blocks – 38.32 s, and 300 blocks – 84.07 s. The mivar approach implemented in MIPRA allows it to handle tasks with more than three towers on the table and with varied numbers of blocks, even in changing conditions. This creates an opportunity, in the future, to solve a greater variety of action planning problems for different robots, such as, e. g., ensuring logical compliance with traffic regulations for autonomous vehicles, etc.

Butterflies are one of the most attractive insects in the world, and they have been able to attract all kinds of peoples by their various features. This present documentation records the butterfly diversity of the three districts Jhargram, Paschim Medinipur, and Purba Medinipur, which formed the former Medinipur district. A total of 139 species belong to 94 genera and six families have been recorded. Among all families, Lycaenidae and Nymphalidae are the most abundant. Among the three districts, most species were found from Jhargram district. Fluffy Tit, Angled Pierrot and Common Lascar are the first time recorded from southern West Bengal. Rapid urbanization, deforestation, uncontrolled developmental works, and changing the character of Coastal zone is some of the threats to butterflies in these areas. So it was a great need to prepare a list of butterflies by which the past changes in the species diversity and number of butterflies in the future able to understand.
