The great return of the Czech loser is coming.
Pavel Francouz was called up to the NHL.
Czech hockey goaltender Pavel Francouz, who has been going through a difficult period of his career in recent months, is returning to the NHL.
The thirty-one-year-old native of Pilsen will be on the bench and could soon make his way into the goal.
The former goaltender of Litvinov, Pilsen and Russian Chelyabinsk was injured in preparation for the NHL in October this year.
Exactly in the middle of the game with Vegas, he substituted and since then he has not played on NHL rinks.
The incident occurred at the moment when the experienced goalkeeper was moving from one post to the other.
"Pavel Francouz will be out for about three to four weeks with a lower-body injury," the Denver-based team announced in early October.
His return to the NHL net eventually stretched out to more than two months.
On Sunday morning US time, he was called up from the farm, where he played four games and showed his old form.
He made 94.5% of saves in the AHL.
The Plzen hockey graduate is finally looking to make his mark and prove that he belongs in the best league in the world.
He had hip problems last year and missed a single game in the shortened pandemic season.
In the NHL, "Francík" played 36 games, his save percentage is at 92.3%.
Charles puts a mask on Camille for Christmas wishes, William and Kate pose in Jordan.
British Prince William and his wife Kate chose a family photograph taken during their trip to Jordan as their Christmas greeting this year.
Prince Charles also made his wish public, using a photo of him helping his wife Camille wear a face mask at the races.
The British news station BBC reported on its website.
They send greeting cards to friends, co-workers and foundations they work with.
The photograph was taken somewhere in the desert landscape.
The Duchess of Cambridge is dressed in a long khaki summer dress and Princess Charlotte also has a dress.
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is wearing the same shorts and collared shirt as Princes George and Louis.
William and Kate have not named who took the photo, nor is it clear exactly when it was taken.
Last year, the royal family posed for a photograph intended as a Christmas card in front of a bale of straw and a pile of wood at their rural estate in Norfolk county.
The photo, which served as a Christmas greeting, was also released by the heir to the throne Prince Charles and his wife Camilla.
Photographer Sam Hussein captured them at the Ascot races in June.
Charles, who wears a top hat and a face mask, helps Camille put on her mask, colour-matched with her light-coloured dress.
According to efotbal.cz, Slavia promised Berbra a million for the title, Tvrdík denied it.
Prague – Criminalists in the current corruption case allegedly worked with the fact that the accused former vice-chairman of the Football Association of the Czech Republic, Roman Berbr, was supposed to have been promised one million crowns by Slavia Prague for the league title in the 2018/19 season.
The efotbal.cz server reported that it had access to parts of the police files.
Jaroslav Tvrdík, chairman of the board of directors of the Vršovice club, said that the red-and-whites had not committed any corrupt conduct.
The server released transcripts of police wiretaps, in which Slavia's former sports director Jan Nezmar, who left the championship club last summer, figures prominently.
According to the file, the former influential official of the red and white was in frequent contact with both Berber and the former sports director of the then second-league Vyšehrad, Roman Rogoz, who is also among the accused in the case.
Criminalists allegedly worked with the information that Slavia promised Berbra a financial reward if he won the title.
In 2019, the SK Slavia Praha team won the title in the first league.
The police authority had knowledge that Roman (Berbr) was promised a million-dollar bribe by the officials of SK Slavia Praha for winning the league, the server quoted from the file.
A day later, according to detectives, Berbr met not only with Nezmar, but also with the chairman of the board of Slavia Tvrdík.
According to the server, it is not clear from the file whether the police are still looking into this information.
Tvrdík denied any corrupt conduct.
From 2015 to 2017, we actively sought to change the dynamics of Czech football and offered an opposing alternative to its development.
We have never committed any illegal conduct, we have not tried to influence referees in violation of the rules of fair play and we have not provided anyone with any financial performance in this context," Tvrdík told Seznam Zprávy.
In the wiretaps, among other things, Nezmar indiscriminately insults some former dark-skinned Slavia players and also defames his former boss Tvrdík.
The case of alleged match-fixing through referees was sparked last October by a police raid on several locations, including the Prague headquarters of the Czech Football Association.
The highest-ranking figure in the scandal is Berbr, who no longer holds any football positions.
In mid-January, Rogoz, the former sports director of Vyšehrad, was released from custody.
Helicopters, tanks, and BVPs are Cold War LARPing.
The guns will be new, but basically of a worse type (artillerymen must carry shells manually from the armored cabin and without cover).
Cars - Toyota hi-lux - are new and good
Trucks and various armored vehicles - on a decent level, plus it has already been possible to get rid of the Praga V3S even in specialized units.
Aircraft: Combat- decent, but at the end of its lease, Transport- too small with a short range, but modern.
Drones - few and only small types with no combat potential.
Rockets - we do not have at all (but we produce and export abroad)
Air defense: medium - Cold War, obsolete; short-range - good, modern, relatively good number.
I have such a story.
I have a hunting ground right next to the town.
Nutrias were climbing out of the river and doing damage to the crops, so I was there for a while.
When I arrived, I saw that there was a fisherman on the other side of the river.
I didn't want to make a mess, so I sat down calmly and the guy probably didn't notice me.
I had hoped she would leave before anything came out, but of course the fox went away soon.
I let her come within 40 meters before I decided to shoot.
The poor fisherman almost shat himself, waving his headlamp in all directions, so I called out to him that it was a fox.
Before I got off the saddle, he was gone.
I.e. even a meadow can be a mess.
On the other hand, it's not a war, it would have to be a coincidence of a lot of coincidences for something to happen, you would probably be seen in thermal vision, which almost everyone has today.
So put your valuable items in a visible place, close to your feet in your backpack and you should be good.
Vojtěch vs. Hamáček.
The Interior Ministry procured respirators much cheaper than the Health Ministry.
The state, responsible for the purchase and distribution of masks, masks and respirators for professions closest to the coronavirus, has spent billions of crowns on their acquisition in recent weeks.
The iRozhlas server compared the purchases of individual ministries and found that the amounts for a respirator differed by hundreds of crowns in a single day.
Why did prices fluctuate so dramatically?
Which agencies acted frugally?
And why did others buy more expensively?
Lenka Kabrhelová talks with iRozhlas editor Dominika Kubištová.
I respect soldiers and the army (I'm probably not affected by the memories of the Czechoslovak People's Army that older generations went through), but the Czech Republic is not able to benefit from mandatory military service.
We don't even have large warehouses of equipment that trained people could take, we don't actually have modern equipment even for existing professionals, plus modern technology is still more complex, so the skills of reservists will be rapidly lost in time.
In addition, modern conventional conflicts, where they can be deployed, will happen very quickly, there will be no time to train someone again.
Finally, reservists/territorial defense have great importance for countries like Ukraine, where it is possible to conduct mass guerrilla warfare and it is also an expressed necessity for deterring the enemy.
In the Czech Republic, fighting will only be possible in a conflict of such a scale and intensity that guerrilla warfare will be irrelevant, and we do not have the appropriate geography for it.
Mainly, we do not have individual skills.
That's not even the worst of it.
The worst thing is that half of them play as if they have it.
Then you find yourself in a situation where you look like a guy who two minutes ago couldn't hit an empty goal, driving into attack alone between two or even three Swiss players and you're thinking to yourself "What do you think is going to happen now?".
Well, of course, they treat him like the average taxpayer.
The situation with this skill of "catching a defender" is so terrible that I found myself genuinely surprised to see that our attacker was able to outplay one player of the opposing team.
The First Signs of Spring
The Covid pandemic is slowing down, but experts do not expect a major turnaround in the coming weeks.
According to statistical models, the onslaught in hospitals will last for some time, and a new unknown has been added to the pandemic equation: the omicron variant, which is very likely to spread faster than the currently prevailing Delta.
At the same time, it is not yet possible to say with absolute certainty whether it can cause a more serious course, how much vaccination or post-infectious immunity acquired by previous illness helps against it.
But this week, an unexpected phenomenon on the plus side also entered the Covid equation: the possibility of treatment.
A new drug has arrived in the Czech Republic, the antiviral drug molnupiravir, which reduces the risk of severe disease and associated hospitalization by a third and can be treated at home.
And it should soon be supplemented by Pfizer's drug paxlovide, which reports an 85 percent success rate from the results so far.
The first deliveries of molnupiravir to the Czech Republic, however, have highlighted not only the hope of expanding the portfolio of tools useful in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic, but also the question of how the local administration is prepared for the incoming drugs.
As has been said, Merck's molnupiravir will reach domestic patients first.
The company ended up on the tape first also because the drug began to be developed long before the current pandemic in order to find an appropriate treatment for equine viral diseases on the South American continent.
These researches often overlook the fact that people in the West (Germany, Sweden, etc.)
They are generally less open and do not openly share their views.
Eastern Europeans, and especially we Czechs, are used to talking "how our beak grew".
See, you do research where you ask people if they like Muslims.
In Czech, most people will tell you no without hesitation.
In the West they will tell you how much they love migration, how everyone should help them and how we Czechs are racist scum.
And then they go and vote for parties like AfD.
They fear cancel culture, saying this publicly means losing their job and a media lynching.
Then it looks nice in the polls, west good, east bad.
But you will really find out what people think.
In France alone, Le Pen and Zemmour both have over 20% according to the polls.
We even know that there are three objects in the Czech Republic and they are completely identical.
Identical due to the rotation of units so that soldiers don't have to relearn where everything is, all the objects are exactly the same.
One of them is the Atom Museum Brdy and the other two are abandoned.
The funny thing is that the USSR didn't want to have nuclear warheads on its own territory for either security or deployment speed reasons due to its western location.
In the underground shelters (there are two in each maple tree) only the warheads were stored, not the entire rockets as it is said.
If it was necessary to deploy this weapon, a special unit came to pick up the warhead and mount it on a carrier device.
Besides the museum maple, the rest are in a deplorable state.
In the second grade of elementary school, we had a classmate Gypsy, we were with him for 4 years.
He was pretty cool, he made good jokes, he often showed himself too much, but he was kind of our mascot.
Everyone talked to him, often went to him to explain something, rarely missed, went regularly, did sports with us, didn't steal snacks or phones, and was always neatly dressed.
He went on school trips, did all sorts of silly things, but he was always okay, never got into any trouble.
In eighth or ninth grade, siblings, gypsies, entered the same grade, different classes.
Shortly after, they beat up the teacher, the police were often called in to deal with something, they threatened and intimidated other students..
Personally, I sometimes sell something for an advertisement (old things, something I don't need, etc.) and I have often sold to Gypsies, they always had money, they did not try to stretch me on the price, communication calmly.
I even sold a car this way, the guy called me a month later saying he had already transferred it to himself..
I say to myself that I am not a racist, it doesn't matter to me if someone is white, black, yellow, blue or other, as long as they behave as is expected in a polite society (work, function, don't beat women, just normal behavior).
But when someone comes, stretches out their hand, drives out people from their homes and apartments, creates chaos around them, causes trouble.. it doesn't matter what color they are, but I will be bothered.
I have no problem with African migrants, as long as they integrate, start businesses, work, learn the language (not necessarily, at least English), and respect our culture.
If they believe in Allah, it's all the same to me as long as they respect my traditions and culture, I will respect theirs too.
A young woman died in a car accident in Prachatice.
"The young woman suffered serious multiple injuries and, despite resuscitation efforts, unfortunately succumbed to her injuries on the spot," Zuzana Fajtlová, a spokesperson for South Bohemian emergency medical services, told Právo.
The accident was likely caused by the driver who was transporting the girl.
An eighteen-year-old driver of a Peugeot vehicle was probably travelling from the village of Žíchovec to the village of Bavorov and for unknown reasons veered off into the opposite lane in a bend.
After a collision with a Skoda Octavia, the Peugeot vehicle ended up on the roof off the road, South Bohemian police spokeswoman Štěpánka Schwarzová described the accident.
The young driver of the Peugot suffered very serious injuries in the accident.
He suffered multiple injuries and remained trapped in the vehicle.
After his rescue, he had to be provided with acute pre-hospital care and was airlifted to the hospital in České Budějovice in a stable condition, said paramedic Fajtlová.
She added that the man in the other car suffered minor chest injuries and was taken to hospital.
New rules apply to parcels from non-EU countries, and customers often do not provide information about them
Lukáš Neuheisl orders from abroad several times a month.
He mainly collects trading cards.
"Usually it can be tens of dollars, let's say from ten dollars upwards, where it is still worth importing, especially from Japan, where the mail is often free," explains the collector.
Since October, ordering small consignments has become slightly more expensive, and he now has to add VAT and hand over customs clearance data to the post office.
He receives an e-mail informing him that customs officers are expecting the package to arrive.
Then just fill in the shipment details, and if the merchant did not include VAT at the time of sale, the customs office will assess it on the total amount for the shipment and for shipping.
If the addressee does not arrange the customs procedure himself, the carrier's remuneration must also be added to the total amount.
According to Lukáš Neuheisl, however, the whole process is not complicated.
I'll tick one or two checkboxes, attach two attachments, and I'm done.
For me, it's usually a matter of five minutes, says Neuheisl.
However, not all shipments can be delivered smoothly.
Due to new customs regulations, the daily number of international packages received at the post office in Prague has dropped from 60,000 to 15,000.
According to the Czech Post, the problem is also that people are not responding to requests for the data needed to complete the customs process.
Currently, there are 30,000 packages at the international post office that we need to process.
If people filled in all the necessary data and filled it in on time, we would be roughly halfway there, says Czech Post spokesman Matyáš Vitík.
Tackling inflation
See title, how would you suggest a solution to the current inflation?
We are currently at 9.9% inflation and expect it to rise further.
What do you think the government should do to slow or offset this growth?
For example, we see a reduction in VAT on food and fuel in Poland, is this the way for you?
What do you think will happen, what is inevitable with where this is heading?
Prices are rising faster than salaries, and I think it is inevitable that people will not be able to afford ordinary things, especially energy.
How much have you been given as an added bonus (who is the employee)?
They gave me a 2% raise this year which is a joke, but thankfully I have a similar income from the business I run on the side while employed.
Could someone explain to me why convicted violent offenders are sent to prison for as little as 6 months?
I just don't understand how a court can send such an animal to jail for 6 months just to do it again as soon as it gets out.
Six months is nothing compared to the trauma their victim will have for years, negatively affecting their sexual relationships and relationships in general.
Not to mention that the rape victim may never recover from it.
Will this also deter potential future reporting of rape victims?
The Man from the Grave "burned" his girlfriend from Kostomlat.
A man from Hrob inadvertently helped officers arrest his nationally wanted girlfriend from Kostomlat, for whom an arrest warrant had been issued.
He himself had summoned them to her.
He went about it in a roundabout way.
First, he approached a passer-by and made up a story that he had been robbed.
When the police were called to the scene, they were astonished when the alleged "robbed" person told them that he had made it all up so that the police would come to the scene.
He actually just wanted advice from the officers on how to file a report to the Czech Police.
Upon checking the identity of the man and his girlfriend, the officers then discovered that the woman was on the list of wanted persons, in a nationwide search, and an arrest warrant was issued for her.
The case is therefore being handled by the Police of the Czech Republic.
An honest question for people here, do you consider our country to be Slavic?
I am personally of the opinion that we are no longer Slavs ethnically or culturally, but I would be interested in your opinion.
Otherwise, I obviously agree with the meme, too bad Churchill couldn't secure the liberation of Prague by the USA :')
Of course, I do not deny that we have a Slavic language.
Well, I don't know, it's quite a question of whether a rational person can really believe something without evidence just because it could potentially bring benefits.
Personally, I would not consider such a case to be true faith.
Here I cannot agree with Pascal, there are approximately, if I'm not mistaken, around ten thousand different religions in the world.
Which god or gods should a person choose then?
I would say that it is quite likely that in any of the thousands of religions there is at least one god who will punish you badly if you believe in another god.
Even in the Ten Commandments it is said that there is no other god than Yahweh.
Wouldn't it then be more rational to abstain from belief in any god, rather than risk picking the wrong one out of thousands and having the one true god I didn't pick send me to hell or some such place for it?
Other: Voluntary training with subsequent enlistment in the reserves.
I think the Swiss model is similar.
X months of training (in various specializations, X months for one) and under the command of professionals with practical experience.
If you do well, you can get a professional offer.
Something like this would suit all components of the Army of the Czech Republic.
It could be done in collaboration with the University of Defense.
We can talk about this: There is a constant discussion about collaboration between the educational sector and industry, companies are fishing in schools and there is some kind of interweaving, where the workforce is migrating from educational institutions to employment.
Not only during adolescence, but this process is ongoing, each of us is constantly learning something new, moving from one field to another, etc.
Similar interweaving should also work between the civilian and military sectors.
I see it as a way to build a kind of relationship between the citizen and the army, that is, an institution that guarantees that no Russian, German or even Mongolian invader will ever enter here again.
It seems funny to me how you consider NATO to be something carved in stone, we have allies and so they will defend us if something goes wrong.
Well, bless my soul.
All it takes is one election in the US to cut its budget and the whole of NATO goes to waste.
The English will exchange us for Russian money, the Germans will exchange us for Russian gas, and the Poles have already shown themselves once that they just have to show their backs and take what they want.
The only thing that consistently works as a guarantor of independence is a heavily armed military and a population that can operate the military technology of its time.
And today, every teenager can pilot a remote-controlled device, so why not.
We don't need border fortifications, it sucks these days, but a scruffy teenager behind the stick of a remote-controlled device can cope.
How to Not Drown in a Box Tsunami
You unwrap the presents under the Christmas tree and suddenly you're home buried in boxes and fillers?
This "waste" is again used by e-shops that lack packaging materials.
Thus, a map of stores that will accept your used boxes was created.
And not just at Christmas.
All packaging materials are designed to withstand repeated handling.
Therefore, it is a pity to treat them as disposable waste.
Anyone can bring cardboard boxes, plastic or paper fillings to the participating store (the KAMsNIM.cz project map contains almost 150 of them) by agreement.
This will support small businesses, reduce the amount of waste generated and also avoid overflowing blue containers.
The stores themselves welcome the packaging, which is currently in short supply, and also the saved money, as the packaging cardboard has increased in price by 50% in the last period.
In the eyes of environmentally conscious customers, I am also strengthening my brand.
One of such stores is TIERRA VERDE, a manufacturer of eco-friendly toiletries and cosmetics.
Boxes and filling material are brought to Popůvky u Brna by individuals who accumulate at home, but we also hear from companies with whom we have arranged regular collection of discarded cartons.
We will use all of this when packing orders from our e-shop.
Together, individuals and companies are creating a more mindful world.
Our wish is to preserve the resources and beauty of nature for future generations, says Petra Lopušníková from Tierra.
The www.KAMsNIM.cz application, however, shows not only collection points for packaging material.
It serves as a search engine if you need to get rid of anything (where to take sorted household waste, where to hand in expired medicines, tires, retired electronics, batteries, light sources, bulk waste, etc.).
All the waste can thus end up in the right place, and reusable items can find their second home.
In total, the project map already contains over 100,000 such places.
"Gradually, collection yards, re-use centers, textile containers, food banks, charity shops, SWAPs and other places that help to find a use for things that would otherwise become waste are being added," adds Miroslav Kubásek, one of the authors of the application from the Ukliďme Česko association.
It just seems wrong to me that technology is so simple and foolproof nowadays that kids who use a computer or phone to play games don't learn basic computer skills in the process.
Recently, there has been an issue (mainly in English articles) that college students do not understand the concept of folders on a computer.
Because, for example, Google Photos or Apple applications for photos, or actually mobile phones in general, simply hide the underlying filesystem with folders and throw everything on one screen in the application.
Let them use the technique from childhood, but mainly let them learn something.
Let's rewrite history, seriously.
Emmanuel Macron presented the priorities of the French EU presidency – starting in January – over the weekend – and it was spectacular.
Macron spoke for over an hour, during which he unveiled the presidency's logo, called for the protection of Europeans – at work, on the street – and mentioned so many events that they cannot be done in six months.
But French politicians like it that way, and so do voters.
Macron's supporters straddling the right and left agree on little, but they do on Europe.
And in France, there will be new elections for the head of state in April.
The election calendar has also affected the priorities themselves.
The French leader also mentioned that historians should write "one history of Europe" and France is ready to create the conditions for such work by historians.
A number of commentators quickly came forward with criticism that Macron was engaging in pro-European propaganda and rewriting history.
In fact, they are trying to prevent the rewriting of history.
The far-right candidate for the French presidency, Éric Zemmour, is touring France right now with the thesis that the Vichy regime, which collaborated with Hitler during World War II, was not so bad, and is quite successful with the French.
Let's try to take Macron's idea for a history textbook seriously, and let's not look at what is happening in France.
Wouldn't it be necessary?
Students in European countries are often taught history as an us versus them story and never as a story as a whole.
The Spaniards, the French, the Czechs learn who defeated whom in which battle.
But if they don't have an enlightened teacher, they won't know what the broader context of the event was.
The movie of the year is Quo Vadis, Aida?
The Czech "Mice" did not win.
The story, which harks back to the 1995 Srebrenica massacre, also won Best Director and Best Actress awards for Jasna Duricic.
At this year's Karlovy Vary Film Festival, he held the top spots in the audience rankings.
The best actor in Berlin was Anthony Hopkins for the film The Father.
I'm not very young, I'm not very healthy/fit, and I'm not vaccinated.
It was kind of like "having the flu/being under the weather" I had a few days of diarrhea and didn't really feel like smoking...
It was worse than a regular flu.
I don't have diarrhea with the flu.
(Just personal experience. I'm not saying that everyone does it this way)

Another portion of observing the world and describing everyday things with unusual poetic mindfulness, depth and atmosphere.
In his second novel, photographer Šesták attempted to capture the essence of a small town and Czech society.
A story about a return to the roots, which turns out to be just a longed-for illusion.
The Bohemist and Comparatist transfers the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood into the backdrop of a contemporary village.
Its rendition surpasses folk versions with brutality and culminates in a horror of emotional emptiness.

In his penultimate novel, the author tells a much less sentimental story of return from emigration than we are used to hearing.
Those who stayed and those who left know too little about each other to make a life together.
Trains will start running according to the new timetable, with some changes in operators in some places.
From Sunday, trains will start to run on the railway according to the new timetable.
The biggest change is the change of carriers on some lines, for example between Ústí nad Labem and Kolín, where RegioJet is starting to operate instead of Czech Railways.
For most lines, only the departure time will be adjusted, or their route will be slightly adjusted.
There will also be dozens of new trains on the tracks.
The transport companies started selling tickets already during the autumn.
Czech Railways plan to operate an average of 6783 passenger services daily in the new timetable, of which there will be an average of 478 long-distance trains daily.
Trains will travel approximately 118 million kilometers during the new timetable.
In addition to domestic connections under the new timetable, the railways will also run to Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and Switzerland.
Along with the new timetable, the company will deploy dozens of new trains.
The main novelty will be the InterJet trains, which will run on routes from Prague to Cheb.
Other new trains will be dispatched by the carrier in northern Moravia and western Bohemia.
Starting next year, the carrier will also traditionally increase fares by an average of 3.2 percent.
The railways take inflation into account in their tariffs every year.
The biggest change in the RegioJet timetable is the entry into the R23 line Ústí nad Labem - Mělník - Nymburk - Kolín.
The carrier here will replace Czech Railways following its success in the Ministry of Transport competition.
RegioJet will be running a total of 16 connections daily on the route, eight in each direction.
Other changes concern long-distance connections between Prague and Brno, which will also stop at Havlíčkův Brod, Žďár nad Sázavou and Kolín from Sunday.
Leo Express maintained its 16 connections, two return connections to Slovakia and also a weekend connection to Krakow.
According to spokesman Emil Sedlařík, despite the planned closure works, the carrier also tried to keep the travel times of its long-distance trains as similar as possible.
The operation of Arriva trains and other carriers should continue without major changes.
The carrier will also be changed on some regional routes.
Changes await passengers, for example, in the Českolipsko region, where Trilex trains of the German company Die Länderbahn will run instead of Czech Railways on the line from Mladá Boleslav through Česká Lípa to Rumburk.
For the second year, passengers will also be able to benefit from a uniform rail fare.
As with Czech Railways, their price will increase by an inflationary 3.2 percent.
I must disagree.
Aren't we learning the other side's point of view?
Everywhere we hear how much they had to fight for their rights, how they were oppressed and had to toil, how they died.
In life, I have never heard teaching from the perspective of the slave side or from that time, nobody is defending this, just condemning it.
No one will tell you in schools that blacks were often sold into slavery by blacks themselves, and that they were often the worst slave owners.
No one in school will teach you that colonizers often bought land from the Indians, they will just tell you how brutally we Europeans slaughtered them, while they had been slaughtering each other for a long time.
I also spent some time in the USA, directly in schools, both in northern schools and in southern ones.
I have not encountered anyone deliberately suppressing the facts, but I have heard before that it is happening and in my opinion it is a problem, I do not deny that (for example, in Japan, the atrocities of WW2 are quite taboo).
Rather, my point was that history is not black and white, and that we tend to look at it from today's perspective, without understanding.
History is not interested in anyone's feelings, it is simply what it is, and I think it is a fatal mistake to condemn without looking at things from that time.
On the other hand, we should learn from it and never repeat this again.
By the way, when it comes to those Southern states, yes, the Confederate flag and the famous slave owners are quite popular there, on the other hand, they also had some of their own successes and it seemed absurd to me to reject them.
Moreover, the North was not much better, as many people idealize it these days.
And a lot of people also forget that not everyone in the South was a slaveholder and a lot of things were also opposed to them.
I wouldn't compare this to the Russians, they deliberately omit certain facts, lie and manipulate, plus our perspective doesn't even exist there (there was even a video on YouTube from a TV station where they cut off someone who started talking about our legionnaires and 1968).
What I found ridiculous about American schools was the rise of Marxism and the idealization of communism, something their country had never experienced.
Overall, I felt like at some universities it was awful, the students were quite radicalized and the schools often supported that.
And when I imagine these people being much older one day, it makes me a bit sick to think that this could be the voice of the majority, because it is among the young and in the ruling elite.
It seems to me that feminism has already achieved what it set out to do and it's no longer about the same thing, it's become radicalized.
Currently, those who have nothing to do with feminism and ignore basic biological facts, as well as other groups such as LGBT, are labeled as feminists, which leads to radicalization on both sides, often resulting in resistance even to quite reasonable things.
Moreover, the more radical someone is, the more they are heard.
Anyway, in conclusion, I also haven't encountered anyone condemning me for colonialism or slavery.
I've just met with bad geography, but that was mutual :D
Not because I don't like it here, but because I think it's completely pointless.
Should I be proud of something I couldn't do on my own?
Moreover, I consider the concept of nationality in general to be unnecessary from the point of view of any personal identity.
If anything connects me to people, it is interests, views of the world and common experiences, not the place where we were born.
I'm not religious, but from what I know, I can tell you this: We have two Greek Catholic parishes here, one Ukrainian and the other Slovak.
That Slovak pastor is a really nice guy, his sermons are more about theology than politics, but then he always says some nonsense about the coronavirus that makes everyone embarrassed.
Then there is of course the Czechoslovak Hussite Church.
Officially they are Protestants, but in reality they were born out of Catholic modernism and are de facto Catholic without a pope.
I know a lot of people who are Catholic but go to Hussite services because it is theologically very similar, but the members are usually more liberal.
They have a beautiful and historically very valuable functionalist temple on Botanická Street.
Otherwise, the Church of St. Michael on Dominican Square belongs to the Dominicans and even there they do a mass in Latin every Sunday at 3:00 PM, as it was done before Vatican II.
The flame from Bethlehem is in the Czech Republic, scouts took it from Austria
Břeclav – The flame lit in Bethlehem, where according to Christian tradition Jesus Christ was born, is in the Czech Republic.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the scouts did not travel to Vienna this time either, but they received it from their Austrian colleagues at the Reintal-Břeclav border crossing in the morning.
They took it over at the border last year as well.
The Bethlehem Light is a beautiful Christmas tradition that we participate in with the troop every year, I'm really looking forward to it.
"It is an honour for me to have been chosen," scout Amálie Budíková told the journalists present.
While last year the handover took place at the Mikulov-Drasenhofen border crossing, directly on the border bridge, now at the Reintal – Břeclav crossing in the parking lot.
Usually, though, the scouts take the train to Vienna for it.
Nothing changes with the distribution of the flame across the Czech Republic.
The scouts traditionally set off with the Bethlehem light by train first to Brno, where they will hand it over to the diocesan bishop Vojtěch Cikrle.
On Saturday, December 18, Scout couriers will take care of the subsequent distribution of light, traveling on selected express trains and passenger trains.
From there, the light will be taken up by local scouts or volunteers at stations, who will then spread the flame further across the Czech Republic, even to places where the railway does not reach.
Even this year, the Scouts must comply with the applicable measures against the spread of coronavirus.
It is similar to last year.
We recommend that both the courier teams and the organizers of local events should of course wear masks, try to keep their distance, keep their numbers to a minimum, not sing along with colleagues, and just generally behave in the safest way possible, said Zuzana Hrbková, a spokesperson for the Bethlehem Light event.
The tradition of the light of Bethlehem that travels through Europe was born in 1986 in Austria.
The aim is to spread the idea of peace, friendship and harmony along with the flame.
For believers, the light of Bethlehem is a symbol of hope, a light that overcomes darkness.
In the Czech Republic, scouts and girl scouts have been taking care of its spread for more than 30 years.
The event is based on hundreds of volunteers, so the flame is also a symbol of selflessness and human mutuality.
All the news, including a list of places where people can come to get a candle, can be found on the website www.betlemskesvetlo.cz.
I don't have an economics degree, so I don't know the basics of economics that confirm that subsidies are a cancer of the economy, but I don't think subsidies as a whole would be a problem.
The development of infrastructure, ecology (e.g. water retention), health and education will put the money to good use, but I do not understand why this money is given to agriculture, industry and companies in general.
As mentioned - it produces an unnecessary product and disrupts the free market and the "natural life of the company".
I work in a factory where there are millions of posters on the hallways saying "xy funded/co-funded by project xy" and such a company is just artificially kept alive.
This is not supporting a company that gives work to x number of people, this is a brake on the development when this company is holding on and taking orders/employees away from companies that could grow and be more productive after its demise
Totally agreed, it's terrible.
Sometimes even a person who was born in the Internet age also falls into a trick or trap - especially advertising.
I thought internet ads wouldn't affect me, but then I still find myself influenced by them - it's just so sophisticated that one can't always resist it.
For this reason, I support the radical voices in the European Parliament who currently want to impose an absolute ban on programmatic (= targeted) advertising...
It's all rubbish, in the words of the classic - I would ban the Internet.
I feel like this virus has its roots in (but mainly in point 1):
"I won't believe something that the majority believes and makes sense, I'm not a sheep after all, but I'd rather believe something that is less likely, doesn't make much sense, but it's important that I have my own original opinion that I can claim is critical thinking."

Television has fallen into the trend of Christmas movies, with two hundred premieres this year.
Los Angeles – Movie theaters, TV stations, and streaming platforms in the United States and other English-speaking countries have fallen for the trend of Christmas movies, and this year they will premiere a record more than two hundred of them.
It was calculated by the operator of the film database IMDb.
The genre of Christmas family and romantic movies has been scoring well with audiences in recent years and has significantly increased viewership, so more and more of these films are being made.
This year, four times as many Christmas films were made as in 2011 and twice as many as five years ago.
The IMDb database has included only those films that have the word Christmas in their title, so realistically there will be many more holiday movies.
Movies that people traditionally associate with Christmas have always existed.
In the Czech Republic, fairy tales are mainly associated with this period, and films such as Home Alone, Love Heaven and the classic Christmas story Life is Beautiful from 1946 are also popular worldwide.
But the real boom of Christmas movies started in 2009, when the American cable television station Hallmark came up with a special film series.
Her Advent project, Countdown to Christmas, included four films and was very successful.
This station began to get its viewers in the Christmas spirit as early as October 22nd and will feature a total of 42 Christmas movies.
Rival Lifetime has 35 new Christmas-themed movies on the schedule this year, and popular streaming platforms such as Netflix also contribute to the total.
"In this magical season, the story doesn't matter so much, it's important that there are lots of Christmas trees in the background and that it's snowing," Brandon Gray, author of the book I'll Be Home for Christmas Movies, humorously described this genre.
"For the audience, it's a form of escape and a way to feel a little peace for at least two hours in the midst of all the festive madness and madness of the world we've been living in for the last couple of years," Gray said.
Hallmark Television, for example, uses the same recipe for its films, which is uniform but successful.
You have two people who fall in love with each other, but then there's some misunderstanding that arises about half an hour before the end, which is happily resolved and the two of them kiss.
It's like this over and over again, and as long as all the movies look similar and have a similar atmosphere, people watch one after the other," Gray adds.
Mazepin tested positive for covid-19 and will not play in the final F1 race.
Only nineteen drivers will take part in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in Formula 1.
Nikita Mazepin tested positive for covid-19 and will not play in the last race of the season.
Haas stable will thus send only one formula to the track.
In the last race of the season, he was aiming for a better finish than the 20th place he had earned in qualifying.
However, Russian Nikita Mazepin of Haas will not be involved in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
He had tested positive for COVID-19.
The starting grid will thus feature only nineteen cars, with Mazepin's team mate Mick Schumacher starting from the last spot and Max Verstappen from the first, who will face Lewis Hamilton in a direct battle for the title.
According to the Haas team, Mazepin is reportedly okay and is showing no symptoms.
Nikita is physically fine because he was asymptomatic.
"They are now in isolation and will be following the instructions of the relevant public health authorities, with safety being the ultimate priority for all parties involved," their representatives told formula1.com.
Haas will not and cannot send a replacement driver to the race.
Any substitute would have to qualify or race in another part of the weekend.
The first competitor is not dealing with COVID-19.
At the start of the just-ending season, Covid-19 had Kimi Räikkönen, last year Sergio Pérez and Lewis Hamilton were tested positive.
You can be arrested for this, too.

In terms of the law, Covid is on the list of infectious diseases.
That is, in the same group as HIV, plague, jaundice or typhoid.

(1) Whoever intentionally causes or increases the risk of the introduction or spread of a contagious disease in humans shall be punished by imprisonment for six months to three years, disqualification or forfeiture of property.
(2) The perpetrator shall be punished by deprivation of liberty for two to eight years.
c) if such an act violates an important obligation arising from his employment, profession, position or function or imposed on him by law, or
d) if such an act causes serious harm to health.
(3) An offender shall be punished by imprisonment for three to ten years if he causes serious bodily harm to at least two persons or death by an act referred to in paragraph 1.
(4) An offender shall be punished by a prison sentence of five to twelve years if he causes the death of at least two persons by an act referred to in paragraph 1.

Gold, silver and 150 diamonds: The price tag of the most expensive sweater will amaze!
It's a bit like a portable jewelry store, and the creator put half a year of work and all his savings into it.
"I had a vision of what I wanted to create, but little experience, as sweaters were never really worn at home," admits Liban, who spent 3000 hours over the course of six months on his work.
He bought silk in Italy, 24-carat gold threads in France, and 2,000 decorative crystals were supplied by Swarowski.
He then decorated the silver stars with 150 diamonds.
"The base is wool and cotton, but silk gives the sweater softness," the creator praises his work, which, however, he does not recommend washing.
And there's one more catch.
"I'm completely broke, I have to sell the sweater as quickly as possible," admits Liban.
If he succeeds, he will set a world record.
So far, the most expensive sweater, sold five years ago, cost "only" 720,000 crowns.

The government approved the dispatch of up to 150 soldiers to help Poland.
Geologists, scouts, and drone pilots could set out before Christmas, the mission is approved for six months.
They are supposed to help Polish colleagues with the protection of the border with Belarus and with the construction of the planned fence.
Poland has officially requested assistance from NATO states in response to the Belarusian regime's several-month-long actions of inviting citizens from Middle Eastern countries to its territory with the false promise of easy crossing of the EU border.
British and Estonian troops are already present on Polish territory.
Is the Omikron mutation spreading in Southern Moravia?
Hygiene is investigating another case of a child from Adamov.
"We have currently reported another suspicion of this variant in another child from Adamov, from the preparatory class.
"No direct contact with previous cases from Adamov Elementary School has been established," said Ciupek.
There were six cases in the county in a week.
"We are still waiting for official confirmation of the variant in our six cases – it is carried out by the National Reference Laboratory for Influenza and Non-Influenza Viruses of the National Institute of Public Health in Prague," said the director.
She added that there were two nurses from one workplace at the Faculty Hospital Brno and two children of one of them, as well as two eleven-year-old students from the Adamov Primary School.
There is no connection between the cases in Brno and Adamov.
According to the director, three of them have mild symptoms, four have an asymptomatic course.
No one with suspicion of Omikron traveled abroad.
None of them travelled abroad, nor did any of their families, nor did they have contact with anyone abroad.
None of the listed have any connection to the water polo championship, said Ciupek.
Chief Hygienist Pavla Svrčinová previously stated that an international water polo tournament held in Brno a few weeks ago is being investigated.
There were also players from South Africa and one Belgian player fell ill on his return.
California will restrict gun sales.
He wants to proceed like Texas in banning abortions.
California Governor Gavin Newsom on Saturday announced plans to impose a ban on the sale and manufacture of certain weapons in the nation's most populous state, using a legal mechanism used by Texas in its controversial law against abortions performed after an embryo's heartbeat has been detected.
People would then be entitled to damages in a lawsuit against anyone who manufactures or sells assault weapons and homemade firearms in California.
Newsom's announcement was in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling Friday that upheld the Texas abortion ban, albeit in defiance of a nearly 50-year-old precedential ruling that established abortion rights across the U.S. until about 24 months of pregnancy.
However, the Court was now ruling not on the constitutionality of the entire law, but on a technical issue arising from the innovative construction of the measure.
The enforcement of the ban in this case was made public, making it impossible for Texas Republicans to challenge it through the usual judicial channels.
"I am appalled by yesterday's (Friday's) decision by the United States Supreme Court to allow the preservation of Texas' ban on most abortion services and to largely uphold Texas' maneuver to protect its law," said the Governor of California.
"If states can now block review of their laws by federal courts, then California will use that power to protect human lives," Newsom continued.
He reportedly tasked his subordinates to work with the state legislature and the Minister of Justice on measures that would empower public representatives to enforce a ban on assault rifles and so-called ghost guns.
These are the terms used to describe homemade weapons that do not have serial numbers and can be used to circumvent regulations.
Newsom wants to give "private citizens" the right to demand at least $10,000 (over 220,000 CZK) in damages and court costs from anyone who manufactures, distributes, or sells assault weapons, ghost gun parts, or kits for their manufacture in California.
"If the most effective way to keep these terrible weapons off our streets is to create a threat of private lawsuits, then that is exactly what we should do," said the Governor of California.
The AP agency notes that California has been banning the manufacture and sale of certain military-style weapons for a decade, but in June a federal judge here blocked the ban as unconstitutional.
If the state were to renew the ban using the Texas template, it would confirm the words of liberal Supreme Court member Sonia Sotomayor, who warned against extending the legal mechanism to other US states in a dissenting opinion on Friday's majority verdict.
However, the Supreme Court did not grant the Texas abortion ban complete immunity from judicial review and allowed abortion clinics to continue suing selected officials in the southern state.
Every emergency vaccination has its public testing phase, where the vaccination scheme is gradually figured out and the vaccines themselves are improved based on the results.
Studies on the effects of 4 doses are already rolling in from Israel in large numbers.
And according to these studies, most patients experience up to a five-fold increase in antibodies, which already has the long-term effect you mentioned.
Just like any other vaccination, it will eventually have its own vaccination schedule, it's just too early for that right now.
Another fact is that a new vaccine based on inactivated virus should soon come to the market, which, according to the manufacturer's specifications, promises up to 10 times greater efficacy.

How can I legally watch the Champions League online?
Do you know if there is any online service here in the Czech Republic that would allow me to watch the Champions League for a fee?
We have a Netbox at home and I pay for the Telly sports package for the Spanish and English football leagues.
However, this does not include the UEFA Champions League.
I think O2 offers the Champions League, but I don't want to switch TV and internet providers.
Poland has threatened to stop payments into the EU budget.
According to Ziobro, the European Commission would be acting illegally if it used its new powers to stop disbursing money to Poland because of a dispute over the rule of law.
The Commission has postponed the approval of Poland's plan to draw 36 billion euros from the EU's recovery fund for economies affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
And it is under pressure from the European Parliament to go further and use a mechanism to take EU subsidies away from countries that violate the rule of law.
"Poland should respond to this EU blackmail with a veto on all matters that require unanimity," said Ziobro, head of the small Solidarity Poland party, without whose votes the current government would lose its slim majority in the Sejm.
"Poland should also consider its commitments in the EU's energy and climate policy, which are leading to a drastic increase in energy prices," Ziobro added.
If the dispute continues, I will demand that Poland stop its contributions to the EU.
This would be justified given that the EU is illegally denying us funds from the common budget, to which we also contribute, the Polish minister added.
His party takes a more radical stance on EU accession than the ruling Law and Justice party.
According to the European Commission, the changes made to the Polish justice system during Ziobro's tenure threaten its independence and subordinate it to politicians.
Brussels, according to Ziobro, is setting "impossible conditions because its goal is not a rule of law but a change of government in Poland".
Warsaw is facing "a political dictate carried out through blackmail and an attempt to undermine the democratic decision of several million Poles," Ziobro also said.
He said Poland should be a member of the EU, which is based on a partnership of sovereign states, and not on a government of the strongest and a Brussels bureaucracy that is not under democratic control.
He said his party would never accept such concessions to Brussels that would limit Poland's sovereignty.
"We will never agree to Poland having the status of a colony," he said.
But to make sense of it... Here at Lidl, they have one type of cheese in four different places.
I hadn't been looking at the other things, I had also seen the same yogurt multiple times, I just needed cheese, parmesan, after ten minutes at the dairy shelves I gave up and asked.
They had it, that's true, in that narrow sector were all the selected, less common and special cheeses, but it was between the vegetables and the lactose-free zone...
If I have to, I won't even go to the market, sale or no sale, the golden shop on the square, they may not have such a selection, but they usually have everything I need and it's in some kind of order, so I'm done in ten minutes.
To Lidl to take a vacation.
And I don't care anymore.
For two years, I've been watching how data is treated like manure here, most anti-vaccine opponents are just a little more off the mark than most vaccine advocates.
Rational discussion takes place at the professional level, but only extreme opinions enter the public space.
Constantly from wall to wall.
Binary thinking: Vaccination will save us, vaccination is useless.
Disable everything, allow everything.
Colorful cakes instead of robust analyses.
Comparing apples to pears.
This state has it this way and we have it this way.
But nobody is addressing the fact that the data collection methodology is different in those two states.
Phew, that was a relief.
Sorry for the outburst and have a nice day to all of you.
In my childhood they punished me with a wooden spoon.
It was never because of grades, mostly it was just that I repeatedly refused to listen and was naughty (reading instead of going to bed, fighting with my brother, etc.).
At the same time, I was never punished without warning, mom always first threatened that if I did it again, I would get a spanking (sometimes even after another "catching" she just brought and put the spoon so that I could see it).
It wasn't until I repeatedly refused to listen that I received a few blows on the butt (through my clothes).
Personally, I think physical punishments (in reasonable execution and measure) are beneficial because a child responds to them much more than words.
I think the important part is the warning section, because it gives the child a kind of choice whether to disobey and get punished, or to improve and avoid punishment.
In the end, all I needed was a warning to start listening.
System Defense
When the prominent Czech lawyer and constitutional judge Vojtěch Cepl answered a journalist's question in 1999 about what the Czech Constitution meant to him - whether it was a sacred document to which one swore and was taught from an early age in school, or rather an agreement that could be changed if necessary - he definitely leaned towards the first interpretation.
Once we agreed in the constitution on the democratic rules of our life, which at the same time define who we are as a state and its citizens, and it is better to be careful with changes.
And imagine this: some nations even like their rules.
Just as Czechs like dumplings with pork and cabbage, Vojtěch Cepl commented on the question at the time.
Recently, however, there has been an increasing opinion among lawyers that the Constitution of the Czech Republic needs changes.
It has been tested over the years with situations its creators (Vojtěch Cepl among them) could not have foreseen, such as the behavior of a directly elected president.
In one thing, however, Cepl was right.
Everything we know about such documents shows that political interference in their texts must be premeditated.
The Constitution must be understood and actively defended, only then can it be the key to overcoming most of the crises that societies have faced throughout history.
The Constitution is, among other things, a kind of order of governance consisting of individual rules that set the limits of the game for politicians.
We are afraid that power will be used against minorities or individuals, so we bind politicians with bans.
At the same time, constitutional texts also allow politicians to exercise their power.
Covid does not discriminate, at FN Brno a few months old baby is fighting for its life.
Although it is known that the coronavirus tends to be milder to children, there are also severe cases that hospitals have been struggling with especially recently.
"We know that children are at risk and affected less than adults, we talk about 2 to 5 percent compared to adults," Petr Dominik, head physician of the Department of Paediatric Anaesthesiology and Resuscitation at the University Hospital Brno and the Faculty of Medicine of Masaryk University, told Novinky.
The course is usually much simpler, lighter, and often without symptoms.
However, there are child patients who are seriously ill with coronavirus, which we have seen especially recently," Dominik added.
According to the doctor, there are dozens of children who need mild supportive care.
It takes place at a pediatric infectious diseases clinic.
Very seriously ill children with coronavirus are only recently being admitted to the ARU.
According to the doctor, children with post-covid syndromes were in the department continuously throughout the year.
"Now there is an increase in children with acute Covid pneumonia, which means pneumonia that requires a stay in the intensive care unit," he said, adding that this disease affects not only adults but also adolescents and several-month-old babies.
There are also children in critical condition due to the coronavirus in hospitals.
"Currently, we have a child of several months of age and adolescent age," said the head physician.
He is however glad that the FN Brno Children's Hospital has not yet recorded any child deaths from the coronavirus.
According to available data, six children aged 0 to 14 died in the Czech Republic on 6 December.
According to Dominik, a psychologist's collaboration is an integral part of the children's hospital - not just in the coronavirus department.
It also highlights the fact that, just like in adults, vaccination in children can reduce the severity of the disease and lower the incidence of post-covid syndrome.
"Therefore, we recommend the application of the vaccination dose even in children," the doctor added.
In the quiet zone you can only walk on marked paths.
But the quiet zones are not that big.
They can be seen on the tourist map on mapy.cz.
Generally in national parks outside of the quiet zone you can walk anywhere (but don't climb over the fence into the game reserve).
Skiing/biking in the forest off marked trails is not allowed anywhere unless you have an exemption (but of course it is not monitored that much outside of national parks).
How does a conductor practice?
Music is running through my head, laughs Josef Kurfiřt.
He was weaned on the Liberec opera and originally played the forest horn.
As a singer he can sing practically all the repertoire and as a conductor he works not only in the F. Šalda Theatre in Liberec, but also in Pilsen, in the Josef Kajetán Tyl Theatre.
He cooperates with the Hradec Králové Philharmonic Orchestra, the Film Philharmonic Orchestra and the Podkrkonoše Symphony Orchestra.
China is creating the impression of having the outbreak under control and that its authoritarian regime is better equipped to handle the crisis.
Sinologist Jirouš: China is building an impression of having the virus under control and that the authoritarian regime is handling the crisis better.
China has embarked on a health and political offensive.
A few months ago, Beijing was criticized for failing to contain the outbreak that has now become a global pandemic.
The country is now reporting zero new infections.
Countries including the Czech Republic are competing for Chinese protective equipment and Chinese doctors are helping in the fight against the coronavirus in many places, including the worst-hit Italy.
How to perceive Beijing's hospitality?
Is it friendly support or is the communist regime trying to improve its image in the world?
A friend meets a friend and says, "Hey, don't you want an elephant?"
I have it and it's great.
The wife is glad because she grazes the grass, washes the car with her trunk, the children play with it.
Just great.
If you want, I'll sell you the elephant for 5000.
Friend: yes, I'll slap myself, that's going to be great...
After some time they meet and the one who bought it complains: dude, what did you sell for an elephant????
The lawn is trampled underfoot, huge shit everywhere, the car is broken, the children are afraid of it, and the wife wants to get divorced.
The one who sold says: you talk badly about an elephant, you can't sell an elephant like that...
World affairs are controlled by the great powers.
Although the equality of sovereign states applies, it is the great powers that set the course of international affairs.
Europe can only become such a superpower if it works on its integration.
So far, it works at the economic and political level (in selected issues), but military integration is still missing.
Personally, I think that Europe is moving towards federalisation.
It won't be in 10, 15, or 20 years.
But maybe by mid-century the mood will be different and it will be successful.
That occurred to me too and it is quite possible.
I'm not an expert in Czech, so I might be word-smithing.
I'm just assuming that an ellipse usually includes 2 different units at the same level.
To borrow an example from another commentary on 'Spanish oranges and tangerines', where it is clear that they are both from Spain, whereas in the case of 'Spanish fruit and tangerine' it is no longer clear that tangerines are from Spain.
Moreover, I base it on the fact that the sentence reads "all American forces", including their weapons, and that I know that American complexes are operated only by Americans.
In other words, I expect that it is already included in that broad term and there is no need to further specify it for the US forces.
But again, I'm just word-smithing :D
Be that as it may, it is a nonsensical request
An earthquake of magnitude five was recorded in Tokyo.
A magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck the Japanese capital Tokyo and surrounding areas on Sunday.
Witnesses reported that buildings in the capital were shaking, but no damages have been reported yet.
There was also no tsunami warning, Reuters reported.
Vicki Holland from Britain tortured a capuchin monkey named Milly.
Horrific footage shows the moment a terrified monkey crouched in a toilet bowl before its heartless owner flushed it and laughed at it.
Holland's monkey was also fed sausages, kebabs, and hamburgers, regardless of its actual nutritional needs.
Gwent Magistrates' Court has now banned her from keeping animals for life, The Sun reported.
The primate rehabilitation experts caring for Milly after her abuse stated that they had never seen a macaque so terrified.
Milly spent almost two years in rehabilitation with the staff at Monkey World in Dorset and is now happily playing with another rescued monkey named Moon.
The mother of four pleaded guilty to two charges of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
At Gwent Magistrates' Court, she was given a twelve-week prison sentence suspended for one year.
Holland was also sentenced to 120 hours of unpaid work, given a lifetime ban on keeping animals, and must pay €12,000 in court costs.
Steph Sawyer, head of the Small Monkeys team that rehabilitated the abused animal, said: "Milly is fine, but rehabilitation will continue."
It took Milly a while to get used to people again.
She cowered and hid from everyone she met, and any loud sound or sudden movement made her scream.
The monkey refused to eat for a long time.
Even now that she has settled down and is happy with the male, the sight of new people can still cause her to panic.
The psychological scars from the abuse will stay with her forever, adds Sawyer.
The abuse of Milly came to light after police in Gwent discovered harrowing footage on the woman's phone following a raid on her flat over drug allegations.
In the footage, Milly can be heard cursing vulgarly.
In another video, Holland can be heard offering cocaine to the monkey and saying, "Do you want cocaine?"
Lick my fingers.
In May, she and her partner Russell Cox, 43, pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with the intention of selling it.
Cocaine worth 1600 pounds (roughly 50 thousand crowns) was found hidden in Kinder eggs in her house.
Cox was subsequently sentenced to 30 months in prison and Holland was given a suspended sentence of 20 months.
And what amazing concepts will you learn from prehistory three times in a row if you bravely skip the entire 20th century?
Like you're going to get the same things in your freshman year as you did in sixth grade?
And it all kills the idea of rote learning, where nobody, with few exceptions, cares if you can do it or understand it.
Mainly write the test on 1 and then nobody cares anymore.
Go out on the street and randomly ask people if they can figure out the character of the roots of a quadratic equation and its coefficients.
Everyone has gone through it, and the absolute majority won't even bat an eye and tell you they couldn't care less.
So what the fuck is it taught for?
I'm a big fan of the general overview and the fact is that people don't want and don't need it.
And at that moment it's pointless and you'll never get it into them anyway.
Part of it is learned for the sake of the many people who will need that thing.
But like, I was totally serious about that note that you don't really need all this stuff standing at the machine... ...because you just don't need it.
Additionally, we are slowly entering an era where not knowing is a sign of being cool.
(This is probably due to our communist past and the persecution of the educated and the elites) However, the price of having barbarians manning our machines is simply too high.
If journalists knew how to count, then Covid probably would never have reached these proportions here.
Married at First Sight: Kadri and Andrea's War Continues!
Which is the main reason why she can't leave Switzerland right away," Andrea replied on Instagram in Stories to curious questions from curious fans about what disappointed her so much about Kadri that she decided to end all contact and even block him on social networks.
Things had been creaking between Kadri and Andrea since the beginning of the experiment.
The main problem was the fact that Kadri lived and worked in Switzerland and his idea was that Andrea would move to join her, at least until he returned to the Czech Republic permanently.
She resolutely refused it.
And as it turns out, their relationship not only didn't end in love, but rather grew into mutual disrespect and even hatred.
It was a planned attack from you! Kadri was immediately upset in response to Andrea's accusations of lies, gambling, and debt.
The alleged honesty of Kadri's now ex-wife did not sit well with his younger sister Linda.
She decided to publicly defend her brother.
I normally don't comment on such things and we never really talked about these things much in my family.
I certainly don't want to evoke any pity.
But when I see someone trying to publicly hurt and defame someone I love so much, it just doesn't sit right with me!
I'm sorry to have to do it this way, but I would like to publicly thank my brother Kadri for making a character out of himself and helping our family when we needed it the most, despite his young age.
It makes me even more disappointed when I have to read such false information, which is probably taken out of context.
I would really wish for everyone to know Kadri as I, our close ones and family do, stands in the declaration in response to Andrey's words.
I am really grateful to him for everything!
Of course people will believe what is written, but the most important thing is that we, his family, love him above all and know the truth and know how it really was, she added vaguely.
The drunken thief climbed up the facade to the fifth floor.
You won't believe why.
Chao began his robbery spree in the parking lot of a residential area, where he attempted to break into several cars.
According to available information, he eventually stole less than 330 crowns from one vehicle.
Then he couldn't think of anything better than to climb up to the 5th floor and climb into the apartment through an open window.
He stole two bananas there.
Footage from one of the security cameras shows him walking down the street away from the crime scene, eating a banana.
When the apartment owner woke up in the morning, he noticed that the bananas were not where they were supposed to be and he called the police.
She then held Cchaa back.
The man admitted to drinking some alcohol on the day in question.
And since he needed money, in a drunken state he decided to rob.
The matter is still under investigation.
The drunk climbed up the facade to the 5th floor, where he stole two bananas.
The Pandemic Act is time-limited and has its effectiveness tied to pandemic emergencies.
If it is repealed, the law will not be effective.
The law does limit the scope of business.
Is that not enough of a reason for you?
The right to assemble will be restricted but not abolished.
Over 60 percent of voters came to the Saturday elections for the councils of four municipalities.
People elected new councils on Saturday in the municipalities of Komňa in the Uherské Hradiště region, Lužice in the Most region, Nová Ves in the Liberec region and in Rovné in the Pelhřimov region.
The number of representatives in these municipalities fell below the statutory number or the councils elected here were disbanded.
On Saturday, 99 candidates ran for a total of 28 seats.
The average age of newly elected representatives is 46.7 years.
The oldest of them is 69 years old, the youngest is 33 years old.
The processing of the results of Saturday's elections symbolically concludes a rather demanding but successful year for us.
Four new or repeat elections to municipal councils and, above all, the highly watched elections to the Chamber of Deputies took place, said Deputy Chairwoman of the Czech Statistical Office Eva Krumpová.
She recalled that due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the elections were more demanding in terms of equipment and staffing.
In Komeň in the Uherské Hradiště region, the Association of Independent Candidates won Saturday's elections, winning 27.76 percent of the vote and two mandates in the seven-member assembly.
The STAN candidate received 24.84 percent of the votes, which also means the gain of two mandates.
Citizens for Komňa also won two seats in the assembly, with 18.52 % of voters voting for them.
The former mayor of the village, Jana Křižková, who is a member of the Privateers, was also re-elected to the council.
The Komňané – independent candidates – won one seat in the assembly.
75.48 percent of eligible voters came to the polls.
In the village of Rovná in the Pelhřimov region, the association Pro Rovné won.
It received 50.50 percent of the votes, which translates to four mandates out of seven.
Two representatives from the Association of Independent Candidates 1 and one from the Association of Independent Candidates 2 were also elected to the municipal council.
The voter turnout was 93.62 percent.
The repeat elections in Lužice on Mostecku were again won by the Lužice and Svinčice Association led by Mayor Jindřich John.
It won 56.73 percent of the vote and, as in 2018, has four seats in the seven-member assembly.
The second-placed candidate, the People's Community, which received 43.27 percent of the vote, will have three representatives in the council.
76.7 percent of voters came to the polls.
The elections in Nová Ves in the Liberec region were won by independent candidates of Hope for Nová Ves ahead of the ANO movement.
59.88 percent of voters voted for the Association of Independent Candidates, giving them four seats in the seven-member municipal council.
ANO received 40.12 percent of the vote and has strengthened compared to the regular elections in 2018, gaining one more mandate and having three.
Voter turnout was 42.9 percent of voters.
On Monday, the State Election Commission will discuss the election results.
They will then be published in the Collection of Laws.
What do you think would be the bigger issue?
Dead civilian or foreign politician?
I think you know everything that people write to you here.
You're just playing stupid to have someone to "argue" with.
If not, that's too bad.
I'm not saying that Christians are degenerates or anything like that.
I even like a lot of church buildings from an aesthetic point of view (which was the goal to make them look good, after all).
And I really don't care who believes in what.
On the other hand, it bothers me how much power the Church had in the Middle Ages, how much money it raised, the suppression of science, etc.
Not to mention all the wars it caused, such as the Thirty Years' War.
TL;DR: Believe in a spaghetti monster if you want, but state and church have nothing to do with each other.
The man fell upside down from twelve meters.
He survived the impact on the concrete.
An unbelievable fall was survived on Sunday night by a man in Ostrava who was intervened by rescuers of the regional Emergency Medical Service.
Staff at the county's operations center received an emergency call at one o'clock in the morning with initial information about a man falling from a height.
Two EMS crews – medical and medical, immediately went to the scene.
Upon arrival at the scene, medics discovered that the 27-year-old man had fallen from a window around twelve meters high and landed head-first on concrete!
In Vítkovice caught coal.
But not as it should, and the firefighters went into action.
By the time emergency teams arrived, the man was unconscious, with multiple injuries and in direct danger of death.
The attending physician intubated his airways, secured artificial pulmonary ventilation, and after further measures of pre-hospital emergency care, the ambulance transported him to the further care of the Ostrava Trauma Center, informed the spokesman of the ZZS MS region, Lukáš Humpl.
I am more worried about the inadequate reactions of the public and the authorities than about the coronavirus
The spread of the coronavirus in the Czech Republic poses a challenge for politicians and officials, but it is primarily doctors and medical staff who are at the forefront of the fight against the infection.
How serious is the situation from their perspective?
We ask military doctor David Řezáč.

Legendary Nunes falls after seven years, Oliveira defends the belt
MMA experienced a great gala evening full of interesting results.
Things were happening at the UFC 269 tournament.
Outsider Julianna Peño managed to defeat legendary wrestler Amanda Nunes, who had not found a conqueror for seven years.
Charles Oliveira in the lightweight division did not hesitate, put on a great choke against Dustin Poirier and defended his belt.
Victory was also recorded by Kai Kara-France, who quickly swept Cody Garbrandt with a technical KO in the first round.
Sean O'Malley also defeated his opponent.
A surprise that no one expected.
This brought a women's bantamweight match between the famous Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peña.
The American entered the mutual battle as a proverbial "dwarf", as Nunes had not lost in seven years and was sharpening her teeth for another triumph.
The start of the duel was also in line with the paper predictions.
Nunes started her journey to victory very aggressively and even gave her opponent a push kick that sent her to the ground.
Peñova, however, did not allow herself to be forced into any further mistakes and unsuccessfully tried to attack herself with a lever on her hand.
The second round was thrilling and very exciting for MMA fans.
Both competitors exchanged plenty of excellent punches and hard hooks.
Peña also got Nunes to the ground, where she began strangling her.
She had to give up the effort and back away.
The American gave everyone a huge shock when she became the new champion.
The highlight of the gala evening was the battle between Charles Oliveira and Dustin Poirier for the lightweight title.
Initially, Poirier was doing better, but the tide gradually began to turn.
In the second one, Oliveira tried to be more active, attempting to take down his opponent with an arm bar.
He didn't quite manage that, but then he created a lot of pressure, got his opponent on the back foot and bombarded him with a series of strikes.
As a result, he won the second round.
On the third lap, Oliveira showed a rear naked choke, which Poirier resisted for a while, but then had to knock the choke away.
The Brazilian thus defended his title, while Poirier lost after two years.
In his next match, Sean O'Malley secured a commanding victory, landing a hard right back on Rauliana Paiva in the first round.
He then beat it with a series of precisely aimed blows and scored his fifteenth triumph.
Kara-France then managed to deal with Cody Garbrandt.
In the spring, Nunes celebrated another triumph with her young daughter, but now she lost after seven years.
That knee, or this knee?
At first glance, this is nothing complicated.
Most nouns in Czech express only one grammatical gender, so it is not a problem to determine whether they are masculine, feminine or neuter.
Then there is also a relatively large group of proper nouns for which the gender is not fixed.
Such nouns fluctuate between two genders.
When declension, they acquire two endings and in some cases remain in a non-inflected form.
For example, the words "svízel" and "kyčel" are both masculine and feminine, the former being declined according to the pattern "stroj" and the latter according to the pattern "píseň".
For the next group of nouns, the different forms in the nominative singular are already the same, for example: "řádek/řádka", "kedluben/kedlubna" or "brambor/brambora" (in the sense of food).
Both forms are standard, have the same meaning and are therefore freely interchangeable.
Some terms may vary regionally, such as "okurka" in Bohemia and "okurek" in Moravia, in this case the Moravian variant is non-standard, similarly with other Czech-Moravian pairs of words: "příkop" and "příkopa", "kobliha" and "koblih" etc.
Some words that penetrated into Czech from other languages were originally non-inflected, but they gradually adopt Czech endings.
A typical example is the word "image", which is both masculine and feminine, or the word "buffet", which remained uninflected in the middle gender, but has endings in the masculine one according to the pattern "castle".
Turkey opened the way for migrants to Europe.
What does the situation look like right at the Greek border?
Tension is mounting at the Greek-Turkish border due to the increasing number of migrants attempting to make their way further into Europe.
Thousands of people began to head to the southern border of the Schengen area after Ankara stopped blocking them.
European politicians promise support to Greece, and the Czech government is also preparing humanitarian aid.
What actually motivates refugees to make an uncertain journey?
And what does the situation look like on the ground?
We didn't see blue skies for three months and we were suffocating, says a journalist from Sydney
The devastating bushfires that Australia has been facing for the past four months have killed nearly thirty people and hundreds of millions of animals, and have destroyed millions of hectares of land.
How are the local authorities and the people themselves coping with the disaster?
Could Prime Minister Morrison's government have done more to prevent drastic repercussions, as critics claim?
And what will the country have to prepare for in the future in relation to climate change?
Lenka Kabrhelová talks to Sydney journalist Ika Detrichová.
False accusations have always been and remain quite rare.
That's why everyone is always written about everywhere.
People are uncomfortable addressing how sexual violence looks in our society and how widespread it is, so they try to sweep it under the rug.
I don't personally know anyone who has been falsely accused.
But I know a lot of people who have been raped, and I've experienced how those people are often treated by those around them or even by the police.
The victim should always be believed.
The trend has become that victims are finally opening up about their traumas.
But still too many people keep it to themselves.
Yes, there are also those who falsely accuse someone.
It's disgusting and a slap in the face to all victims of sexual violence, but by spreading the idea that "a large portion of accusations are fabricated" and that it's a "trend" you're only helping sexual predators.
The Czech Republic is flooded with houses under construction, families have no money to finish
Prices of building materials have risen by more than 30 percent in recent weeks and months.
This has put many people in a difficult situation.
It does not have the funds to complete the family houses under construction and banks refuse to increase its mortgage loans.
In addition to material prices, the cost of construction work is also increasing.
People therefore do not have enough money to finish already partially constructed family homes.
In many cases, banks refuse to increase their mortgage loans, which creates extremely unpleasant situations.
In the best case, people move into unfinished and unapproved homes.
In the worst case, the houses under construction are uninhabitable and families are forced to sell them because they cannot afford to pay mortgages and pay rent," says BHS economist Štěpán Křeček.
We will build two to three family houses in a year and fifty percent of it has been accomplished.
For us as a construction company, it's hard in that we have to adhere to certain things contractually, even if the material has become more expensive.
So we work without earnings," said the owner of the construction company, Zdeněk Slivoň.
Many people will soon be facing financial difficulties.
If they had counted on the house construction costing five million, now it will cost seven.
I think some will wait," Slivon added.
Copper, iron, and plumbing and heating equipment were the materials that increased the most in price.
But construction companies are also struggling with labor shortages.
There is a shortage of construction graduates in the Czech Republic and the influx of foreign workers is hampered by the pandemic.
At the moment, only the situation regarding the issuance of building permits is more favourable.
"Building authorities issued 7,675 building permits in October, which is almost 10 percent more than a year ago," Křeček said.
We are doing well and we will do even better.
But real visions are missing, says Czech Radio commentator – mujRozhlas
In addition to the classic celebrations, the entry into the new year was traditionally accompanied by speeches by politicians.
This year, in addition to Prime Minister and ANO leader Andrej Babiš and President Miloš Zeman's Christmas message, the nation was addressed by the chairmen of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.
What fundamental lessons have we learned?
I think a diploma thesis is great because I get to choose my own topic, build on my bachelor's thesis, work on it for a whole year, and then write the written part in a week or two.
State exams are completely calm in our country, if a person is not a total macaque and something remains in his head, the commission will not unnecessarily stifle him on theory.
For example, I studied for a week for my state exam and when I was at the end of my rope, the committee always tried to lead me to some logical deduction that I immediately understood and I had it right.
As for those projects, I know people who pay someone to do the semester project for them (we've done it a lot of times, really beneficial, they learn a lot) and then they just learn the project and they're done.
In my opinion, it is great when there is an exam at the end of the course that reflects the knowledge gained in the project, not just the defense.
Everything ok, but don't overload your e-mails and phones, and don't send any packages to the embassy.
You'll be just as much of a jerk as they are.
Those people at the embassy may have nothing to do with it.
And if they were against Russia, they would risk a lot, so maybe they have to play with them, because otherwise something could happen to them.
But you can still put up a similar statue of Putin next to the Teddy Bear Pú statue.
Maybe even put it in such a way that he touches Xi Jinping's ass or something.
I agree, even though Insta throws obstacles in the way of artists.
If you don't post stories every day and at least a new picture every other day, your reach will drop to an absolute minimum.
In addition, it constantly changes what function is more important, whether like, comment or save.
I've been really annoyed by it lately, so I might have to resort to TikTok, where a lot of artists from my industry have been successful and can't seem to get enough of it.
Finally, I would even be happy if something more user-friendly came along that doesn't suck all the creativity and energy out of the artists.
Statement by the Donbas Workers' Party
The Union – yes, break-up – no, the opponents of the break-up of the USSR express their opinion in the picture.
Thirty years since the illegal dissolution of the USSR.
On December 8th, 1991, the greatest geopolitical disaster in human history occurred.
On December 8th, 1991, in the Belovezhskaya Forest, Boris Yeltsin, Leonid Kravchuk, and Stanislav Shushkevich, without any legal authority and in violation of the results of the referendum of March 17th, 1991, with Mikhail S. Gorbachev's open indulgent attitude, secretly and without regard for the people, signed an agreement that "the USSR as a subject of international law and as a geopolitical reality ceases to exist".
With one stroke of the pen, they "abolished" a huge country with almost three hundred million inhabitants.
With the collapse of the USSR, tens of millions of ethnically Russian citizens found themselves abroad.
Since the early 1990s, the population of Russia has decreased by ten to eleven million.
Even without the loss of the non-Russian population of the former Soviet republics, we have already lost more people than in both world wars combined!
Even earlier, the same people who, in one session in the Białowieża Forest, destroyed what had been built in the previous seventy years betrayed the socialist camp (created by the cost of millions of lives in World War II and the Great Patriotic War).
They consciously carried out deindustrialization, stifled agriculture, and detached fourteen republics that had previously been economically linked in a single mechanism from the world's largest power.
If we want to look even deeper, then we see the impoverishment of the population, the collapse of the economy, science, the army, the growth of crime, interethnic conflicts, the war in Chechnya, all the conflicts in the post-Soviet space, the series of Orange Revolutions, the expansion of NATO to the East, the war and the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the Arab Spring, the war in Syria – all this is the result of geopolitical capitulation, the surrender first of the socialist camp, and then of the Soviet Union.
There is such a concept in political science as "power vacuum".
All that was hastily abandoned and surrendered was quickly filled and conquered by NATO countries that accepted our geopolitical capitulation.
And the whole world is still shaken to this day, mainly because of the events of the late eighties and early nineties of the last century.
The price of a product sold in a supermarket with a large turnover may not directly correspond to its quality and quality.
It's Monday and we have some meat in the supermarket that costs 189 CZK / kg.
I will buy it with the intention of putting it in the fridge and making it into dinner on Thursday.
In an alternative reality, where I don't buy the meat on Monday, the chain discounts it to 99 Kč/kg on Tuesday - can you describe the mechanism by which this change in the price of the meat becomes a burden on my digestive system?
Or I could wait until Thursday and the meat will be discounted to 69 Kč/kg one day before the expiration date - how would this meat be different from the one I bought on Monday for 120 Kč more and left it in my fridge for 3 days?
I'll answer myself - nothing.
This talk about how if something is cheap, it must be guaranteed bad, rotten, or low quality is really stupid, to be honest ;-)
Recently I went to Hlavas in Brno and in the underpass the girls were handing out some brochure, I always take such things to help out the volunteers, they can't throw it away...
No, the brochure was full of common sense and conservative views on how the world works, but nothing about God, I was confused but I had a feeling it was going to be some kind of propaganda.
After reading it, I found out who published it and eventually Scientology came out of it.
No, like it was good stuff, full of completely unnecessary lessons, like I should wash and not be a brat.
Too bad for the paper, because of this the rainforests would not have to be cut down.
I experienced something similar with my ex-girlfriend.
Mental manipulation and emotional blackmail will make you comply with that person because you care for them without realizing how messed up the situation is.
She threatened me several times that she would hurt herself because I went out to chat with a friend she didn't like.
Or when I wanted to leave her apartment early, she cried and begged me on her knees not to go anywhere.
Then she began to physically block the door.
For about a year it was a great relationship but then another half year passed and it started to go downhill.
Then I ended the relationship by telling her that we were breaking up and lying to her that we could still talk about it next week to calm her down and prevent her from going into a rage.
Such a person will suck your feelings, emotions and overall joy out of you.
Better keep your distance
When insurance companies are furiously stealing by buying a cloud of tests and hunting down positive people who would not even know about this terrible disease if they were not tested.
All we are achieving is complications for companies, carriers and others due to the fact that their employees in the random number generator were placed under house arrest for five days.
In the West, they have stopped the antics and recognized that there is no point in dealing with a disease weaker than the famous flu.
Unfortunately, Válek is new and still needs to steal something and boost his ego by inventing some nonsense.
Looks like the old scoundrel is back again.
After several years of decline and suppression of this unfair business, MLM recruitment returns to the limelight.
I was one of the recruits, I tried it (I was 20, a freshman in college), the initial promises of product training and sales skills quickly shifted to "you don't need to worry about that, just get people".
Honestly, I was interested in the products I was offering because I wanted to help people, however the training was more about scaring and coercing people.
When the first earned money came in, one quickly realized that if they wanted to make money, they had to push out a few certain products each month.
Investment life insurance and mortgages were the only income-generating, so one felt like a door-to-door salesman of pots and pans.
What I can say though is that it was a valuable experience, one learns not to jump on every piece of gossip and to thoroughly verify information.
At the same time, I wouldn't lump everyone into one basket.
There are people in this business who are successful and even beneficial to people, but they certainly won't be bragging about expensive consumer goods or a "fat" bank account.
I haven't experienced many of those things in the corporation where I work.
HR is calm, managers mind their own management and do not poke our noses too much.
So regular assessment does happen, in the form that it works here it goes quite well (set some goals for the next year, look at what worked and what didn't after a year) - it's more of a self-assessment than someone evaluating you based on numbers and such.
Corporate events are also optional.
But we are also a bit unique within our company - there are departments that are more "corporate".
Sometimes it feels like we're this almost-startup that's squatting in the offices of a big corporation no.
But it works so they don't bother us much as long as the results are there.
The Czech woman missing in Britain is dead.
Her body was found in London.
For almost ten days, British police have been searching unsuccessfully for a missing 32-year-old Czech woman who disappeared at the end of November.
On Sunday, December 12, the resigned Minister of Foreign Affairs Jakub Kulhánek announced on social networks that a woman from Uherské Hradiště had been found dead.
Unfortunately, the British police confirmed to our embassy in London this afternoon that they had found the body of a missing Czech citizen.
The cause of death is under investigation.
Out of respect for the family, we will not be providing any further information about the case.
Sincere condolences, Kulhánek said on Twitter.
The young woman was last seen on November 28 on a bus on her way home from work, and she was supposed to pick up money from an ATM before boarding.
Her colleagues reported her disappearance five days later.
Subsequently, the London police began searching for her, and Interpol listed her as missing worldwide.
She also appeared in the Czech database of missing persons.
Police detained one man in connection a few days ago.
What role he was supposed to play in the case and what she suspects him of, but did not disclose.
At the end of the year, four towns elected new councils.
On Saturday, December 11, new councils were elected in the municipalities of Komňa in the Uherské Hradiště region, Lužice in the Most region, Nová Ves in the Liberec region and Rovná in the Pelhřimov region.
The number of representatives in these municipalities fell below the statutory number or the councils elected here were disbanded.
99 valid candidates competed for 28 mandates in the new elections.
Voter turnout reached 62.41%.
The highest turnout was recorded in the village of Rovna, where 93.62% of eligible voters cast their ballots.
A total of 8 women and 20 men were elected to the mandate.
The average age of elected representatives is 46.7 years.
The oldest is 69 years old, the youngest is 33 years old.
A total of 13 candidate lists have been registered for the new elections to the councils in the four municipalities mentioned.
36 women and 63 men were vying for 28 representative posts.
The average age of the candidates was 46.6 years.
The youngest candidate was 22 years old, the oldest was 72 years old.
The processing of the results of Saturday's elections symbolically concludes a rather demanding but successful year for us.
Four new or repeated elections to municipal councils took place there and, above all, the highly watched elections to the Chamber of Deputies.
We mostly had to work in more demanding epidemic conditions, which placed greater demands on equipment and staffing, said Eva Krumpová, 1st Vice-President of the Czech Statistical Office.
The last polling district was processed on Sunday, December 12th at 03:49.
On Monday, the voting results will be discussed by the State Election Commission and, upon approval, will be published in the Collection of Laws.
This is the biggest problem I have with the whole pandemic.
It took me a while to come to terms with the fact that we have a pretty dangerous infectious disease here at the very beginning, but it went without much trouble.
Dealing with how stupidly a large portion of the population across all its layers approaches it, I still have a problem with that.
I'm most excited for the vaccination (tomorrow!) because thanks to it I'll finally be less dependent on other people not being jerks.
He would be deprived of the office of President and of the capacity to reacquire it.
The chances of this actually happening are, however, as others have mentioned here, very small.
Moreover, I am not sure that shredding the file could even be considered treason.
Treason is an act by which the president of a republic endangers its sovereignty, territorial integrity, or democratic character.
It must have been something more serious.
How the pandemic has affected intimate life: The number of people under 35 who are without sex for a whole year is increasing
More and more young adults in the USA are living their lives without sex.
These are mainly religious people, according to the DailyMail's website.
The survey showed that from 2008 to 2021, the proportion of people under 35 who abstain from sexual activity has risen from 8 to 21 percent.
Women between the ages of 18 and 35 who said they had not had sex in the past year are more numerous than ever before.
Other factors also contribute to the decline in the number of sexually active individuals, a survey by the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) showed.
One of them may be the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and a higher percentage of unemployment.
But the presence of media, social networks and video games, which make sex a smaller and smaller priority for young people, could also have contributed.
"Since 2010, there has been a rapid increase in the proportion of men and women aged 18 to 35 who report not having had sex in the past year," said IFS researcher Lyman Stone.
Married people are more likely to have sex, with only 5% reporting in 2021 that they had been without sex in the past year.
For single people, it was 29%. Stone added that marriages under the age of 35 are only a small percentage.
Fear of premarital intercourse and religious disposition also contribute to the decline in sexual activity.
Although married couples are more likely to be sexually active, the percentage of married people under 35 is still decreasing.
Young people are divided about premarital sex, with about 30% thinking it's a bad thing, while about 70% think it's okay.
"It is true that among free individuals in this age group they are a minority, but their behavior is pushing this trend," Stone speaks of these thirty percent.
For most of those who have a moral problem with premarital sex, the reason is religious in nature.
Since 2008, among unmarried people under 35 who attend religious gatherings more than once a month, the rate of abstinence has increased from 20 to nearly 60%.
Among 'less believers,' the trend has risen from 10% to 20%," Stone said.
Other factors, such as less social interaction and, more importantly, social drinking during the pandemic, are also contributing to the decline in sexual activity.
The study also showed that people without work or on lower incomes are less likely to have sex.
Another reason may be the proliferation of digital media, which likely reduces the need for sex.
People are spending more time online, making up for this need.
This trend has caught on mainly during the lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.
The whole debate about vaccinating against Covid is about whether society should force a portion of the population to do something they don't want to do, but which could save their lives.
It's a rather difficult question, the one that I'm personally most interested in is the question of social conscience.
That is, for example, the question of whether if we do not order them to do so and they die, it will be our fault.
My argument is that we could certainly be responsible for the death of an eighty-year-old person who didn't really know much, we didn't explain it to him well, heard some misinformation, and as a result he didn't get vaccinated, and in the end he caught it and died.
On the other hand, I do not think that we are responsible for the death of a stubborn opponent of vaccination who, alongside the SPD and the Communist Party, shouts something about bullying and a totalitarian state.
From the statistics I mentioned, it can be quite clearly inferred that most of the unvaccinated seniors probably belong to the second group, so they will really have to take responsibility for it themselves.
Czech Republic without snow.
How will a mild winter affect the fight against drought?
This winter has so far brought one of the smallest snowfalls in the Czech Republic in recent times.
Ski resort operators cannot do without artificial snow, and the weather can even complicate the preparation of the Jizerska Padesatka cross-country skiing race.
Is this a trend or an exception?
What will a lack of snow mean for the fight against drought in the Czech Republic?
I would have one story, but it is not about the gentleman.
Once in high school, the teacher took us across town to the shipyard so we could take a boat ride on the river.
On the way there, we walked along one quite wide street and who we probably don't see in the middle - followers of the Hare Krishna sect.
Of course, they descended upon us.
Fortunately, I escaped, but he and one of my friends started talking.
When she left them, we asked her and the teacher what she had said to them.
"They asked me if I wanted to save my soul.
I told them I don't have a soul," she replied.
We all, including the teacher, laughed the whole way to the boat dock.
We are terribly spoiled.
Not much is happening, but the system is already collapsing, says Orozovič.
After previous visits to Paris and Brussels, Germany's new chancellor, Olaf Scholz, flew to Warsaw on Sunday, where he was greeted with military honours by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
"We are opening a new chapter in our relations," Morawiecki said at a joint press conference after the talks.
Scholz stressed that Europe must make it clear together that it will not accept a violation of Ukraine's territorial integrity.
The Chancellor believes it is advisable to resolve the crisis caused by the alarming movements of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border through diplomatic negotiations, including within the "Normandy Group" comprising France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine.
Morawiecki said he informed the chancellor about the situation on the Polish border with Belarus, whose leader, Alexander Lukashenko, has artificially provoked the migrant crisis and is using people as living targets and weapons, as night after night we record hundreds of attempts to (illegally) cross the border.
He discussed further sanctions with the Chancellor so that the Lukashenko regime and its patrons in the Kremlin finally understand that we are determined to defend the EU's eastern border.
Scholz assured the DPA agency that Warsaw enjoys German support in its dispute with Belarus and condemned the inhumane treatment of Lukashenko's regime towards refugees.
A drunk Polish nun caused an accident and tried to cover it up.
The car eventually returned to the scene of the accident, but it was now being driven by a different nun who was trying to take the blame.
When police told her that she could still lose her driver's license for not giving way and driving away from the scene of the accident, she came out with the truth, TVN24 reported.
She admitted that another nun had crashed into the vehicle and asked for help.
The police then came for Sister Celestina.
They subjected her to a breath test and after they found out that she had over two per mille in her blood, they immediately revoked her driver's license.
At the same time, they told her that she would answer for her actions in court.
Dog Hugo does what he can.
But Juraj Šajmovič did not guard his film.
Czech filmmakers drew inspiration from American stories about canine companions.
But they forgot one essential thing: the laws of the film craft.
After the kitschy movie F. Brabec's Gump - The Dog Who Taught People to Live, another movie is now vying for the audience's emotions in cinemas - Here We Guard.
The co-author of the screenplay and director Juraj Šajmovič Jr. loosely builds on his previous film Here I Watch from 2012.
The talking dachshund Hugo is back on the scene, along with some familiar characters around him.
Julie and Ivan, owners of a struggling Bavarian guesthouse, start to invite dog owners, Julie's father and his partner, and most importantly, her daughter Veronika.
She is no longer a little girl, but a teenage girl experiencing her first love.
The director and his partner Beatriz Shajmovic (who is also the film's producer) had already struggled with the storytelling techniques in the previous dog film, but at least the children and the dog were entertained.
This time, the creative duo wrote an even weaker script that evokes a mixture of wonder and embarrassment.
Let's sum up.
Julie, although a scientist, succumbs to obscurantist delusions in her desire for a child, and if the right "constellation" comes, she copulates with her forest engineer Ivan wherever she determines the coordinates – on the hood of a car or church tower (of course, during an ongoing excursion with a local guide), retired colonel Mojmír, despite years of training, shoots his own daughter (Julie) in the forest, who falls into a coma, whereupon she is taken away from the hospital by the family,  so that in the heart of Šumava solitude a miraculous process of healing by a dog could take place.
Nothing against the cleansing therapy of nature and the power of animal companions.
Their owners know why they have them.
The viewer, however, marvels at what a content-filled melodrama full of unbelievable situations and characters was necessary for this message.
A pair of thieving staff, a dog show competition, a Bavarian charlatan, police officers arriving on a tip to search for "drugs" and discussing the fertilizing power of bone meal - and of course the wacky family at the pension gets drunk.
When the heroine wakes up from a long coma and immediately sits curled and made up with a cigar at the family table demanding her father's whisky and steak as a cured vegetarian, it's impossible not to laugh.
On top of that, the creators explain to the viewer that "this sometimes happens after a coma".
Shajmovich's team lacks basic dramaturgical knowledge of working with text, the ability to construct supporting situations, a sense for the characters and the point, and directorial guidance.
The acting performances are uneven, the editing is clumsy, and the overall impression is muddled.
No matter how hard Lukáš Vaculík, Jitka Ježková, or Nela Boudová try to keep their party going, they don't have much to play with.
The only advantage of the film remains the poetic shots of the Šumava countryside by cameraman Vladimír Holomek and a pair of dachshunds.
It's not enough to sketch a few characters, a flimsy plot, and some dog-eared one-liners, let alone the more popular vulgar expressions that the characters indulge in.
Nor is long-term membership in the Dachshund Club - as in the case of the producer lady - an argument.
Behind the good intentions of promoting nature and the friendship between man and dog, there must also be knowledge of the craft in order for a person to tell a believable story.
That didn't work out in this case.
There is a bit too much eroticism and not enough sentiment for a good family movie.
Even as an advertisement for canistherapy, this amateurly conceived piece would not pass.
Yes, respect, because they have to listen to constant insults from idiots like you.
There's a difference between offering and coercing, you can see how you understand that shit, but that's only because you've never tried it.
The decision is always up to the customer, if he does not want to, the answer will always be no.
If you had listened to those kids more often, you might have changed your mind.
It's a job like any other, in this case a part-time job.
The Middle East is suffering from unusually dry months.
Winter is the only time of the year when it rains.
"The almost complete absence of precipitation during November, as we have seen at some stations, is unusual," the Israel Meteorological Service confirms.
For example, the village of Kfar Giladi in northern Israel reports only six percent of its long-term average rainfall for November.
This week's two-day rain was therefore rather an exception.
It's good for us.
It hasn't rained here for a long time.
It's also the right Christmas backdrop, rejoiced Nazareth resident Wasem Ashkar.
Rainfall in Israel comes almost exclusively in the winter months, it is sudden and irregular.
Forests are dependent on winter rains.
Without them, they dry out and are prone to fires.
It is not only about forests, but also about drinking water supplies and irrigation for farmers.
Israel's largest freshwater source, the Sea of Galilee, was filled to the brim this spring thanks to the last three rainy winters.
Since then, the level has been falling.
Water managers have been warning of drought for a long time.
"It is to be expected that depending on global warming and climate change, precipitation may decrease here," Uri Schor, a spokeswoman for the Israel Water Authority, predicted in 2018.
Israel can help itself with technologies such as desalination and wastewater recycling.
Economically weak countries such as Lebanon, Syria and Jordan are worse off.
In the streets of the Jordanian capital, Amman, there is an increasing number of cistern trucks.
Water pipes and private wells are drying up.
"This year my orders have increased by seventy to eighty percent compared to the two previous years," Imád Sulejman, a tanker truck driver, reported in September.
Clashes broke out between farmers and security forces in Isfahan, Iran.
The reason for the protests was drought.
The bed of the local river has run completely dry.
The region has had its driest November in many years.
Israel is preparing a military strike against Iran.
Israel's defense minister said the talks in Vienna had yielded "no progress" and that he had informed Washington of preparations for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Minister Benny Gantz said on Saturday that he had ordered the Israeli army to prepare for the possibility of a military strike against Iran, Jonathan Lis reports.
Gantz, who is in the US, is trying to persuade the Americans to step up their pressure on Iran, but he also informed Washington about military preparations.
During a press conference in Florida, Gantz said the nuclear talks in Vienna had yielded "no progress" and world powers "understand that the Iranians are messing with them."
About 3 years ago, this also happened to me.
I teased the lady a little and grilled her during the conversation to find out what she wanted from me.
Eventually, I found out that my suspicions about the pyramid were justified.
Because I really don't like these scams, I scolded the lady with doubts and questions for a while and finally thanked her and left.
Feel free to call me a scoundrel, but a pyramid is a pyramid and financial advisors are financial advisors.
Skiers headed to the mountains over the weekend, expecting plenty of snow and nice weather.
Mountain resorts in the Czech Republic experienced their first major influx of skiing enthusiasts this weekend.
After heavy snowfall at the end of the working week, there is no shortage of snow and some ski resorts have started operating.
The skiers were not deterred by the requirement to present a Covid certificate at the lifts.
While ski lift operators are not complaining about lack of customers, some ski equipment rental shops are reporting weaker demand for their services than before the pandemic.
Thousands of people headed to the running trails and ski slopes in the Liberec region over the weekend.
Skiers were blessed with the weather today, which offered both sunshine and excellent snow conditions.
"We are satisfied, the opening weekend really came out from the Friday evening skiing, when we had the first skiers on the hill," Jakub Hanuš, director of the Ještěd Sports Complex, praised the interest.
Hundreds of people also headed to the Jeseníky for the first weekend of skiing in the new season.
For example, Ski Arena Karlov or the resort in Branná in the Šumperk region were open.
The weekend turnout was very good, with an estimated 400 people coming on Saturday and today.
The conditions are great.
Today the sun was shining, it was around minus three degrees, so perfect, said Rostislav Procházka, the representative of the ski resort in Branné, without sparing praise.
Ski resort operators can only sell ski passes to people who are vaccinated or are in the period after suffering from covid-19.
With a few exceptions, people are ready for this and show the necessary documents, René Hroneš from the Špindlerův Mlýn ski centre told the Czech News Agency.
"We have only recorded a handful of incidents," he added.
Some rental shops and ski equipment stores are reporting lower interest than before the pandemic.
Fortunately, there is interest in renting skis.
It's not like in previous years, but there are still enough customers, said Alexandra Bokišová from the Opava Skiopava store.
A higher influx is expected during the ski course period.
David Šinták, the director of the Královéhradecká company Snowbear, also feels that due to the Covid pandemic, there is not as much interest in renting ski equipment as before.
By this time before the pandemic, we were almost borrowed.
Compared to the period before the pandemic, we are at about 50 percent, Šinták told the Czech News Agency.
According to him, people have become lazy due to the pandemic and have learned to stay at home.
On the contrary, the rental service in the Novako area in Boží Dar is experiencing high demand.
They started renting skis there a week ago and those interested must now order them in advance.
"We're starting to rent out skis this weekend, but people have already been calling ahead so we expect a lot of interest, just like last year," said Pavlína Nováková, the area's operator.
According to her, there is also interest in a ski school comparable to the pre-epidemic period.
If we do not want the successful and rich to go abroad, they must have the opportunity to live a quality of life here as abroad.
This certainly does not include socialist healthcare, where it is often not possible to find a dentist or a specialist doctor.
Smart and skilful people go abroad and have no property here.
The owner of the company won't just leave for abroad like that.
I completely agree with the rest.
If these people do not have a good life in the Czech Republic and if they do not have a vision of a reasonable future in the Czech Republic, then they simply will not live in the Czech Republic.
Emigration from Hungary began when one fine day Orbán won, ruled for a year, and suddenly the annual emigration increased by a few tens of thousands.
It is naïve to think that the Czech Republic cannot find itself in a similar position overnight.
The next question is elections in general.
If life is bad here, some traditional V4 madman can also win here.
The young and educated will leave, leaving behind his supporters and people whose wealth cannot be stuffed into an airplane.
Scary photo!
Langmajer in the blood due to a bet on beer?
While autumn was in full swing in the Czech Republic, the crew of the film The Island led by Jiří Langmajer (55) was enjoying the tropical weather in Thailand!
The actor then posted a photo of his bloodied face on social media.
Is it a real injury, or is it makeup for filming?
The London police are still searching for the missing Czech woman.
She was last seen on her way home.
"Petra's disappearance is completely out of character and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare," Lucy O'Connor from the Lambeth police station, where Ms. Srncová worked, said in a video on Saturday.
"Her family in the Czech Republic is also very worried about her and just wants to know where she is," she continued.
She said the missing Czech woman left work at around 7:45 p.m. on Sunday, November 28, and headed home to the Camberwell neighborhood.
She was last reportedly seen on a bus about half an hour later.
Her disappearance was reported on December 3 by one of her co-workers.
According to British media, Srncová worked as a "nurses' assistant" at Evelina London Children's Hospital, which is part of the hospital's association Guy's and St Thomas'.
"We are extremely concerned for our dear colleague Petra, who is missing," the health care facility group said in a Twitter post.
"We would encourage anyone who may have any information that could help locate her to contact the police," the statement continued.
Deputy Harriet Harman, who drew attention to Srncová's case during a press conference on Saturday, is also calling on the public to cooperate.
"She's been missing for days, she's only 32 years old, she's from the Czech Republic, her parents are understandably scared to death," the Labour politician said, holding a photograph of the woman distributed by London police.
"I feel like we all have a particularly big responsibility to try to find her because she was away from her home country, away from her family, and she was working here for our health service," Harman said.
Police had previously arrested one man in connection with the case, who remains in custody.
According to the BBC news website, however, the police have not provided any information about his identity or what he is suspected of.
Russia is not able to occupy Ukraine, and certainly not with 30 BTG (i.e. about 5 divisions).
I don't underestimate Ukraine like that either.
These are not "huge quantities", but about 8 percent of the Russian army.
Note that Ukraine keeps repeating that we are exaggerating the threat of an invasion and is getting fed up with our entry.
I quoted above.
I don't know what made you conclude that Russia wants war.
War is a hell of an expensive joke, and Russia has Italy's GDP.
The comparison with the situation in '38 is off the mark at so many points that I don't even know where to start.
I can now compare that to the First Punic War and the "annexation" of Sicily :D
I can imagine that after Ukraine announced that it would not abide by the Minsk agreements, Russia would annex those ridiculous republics.
That's all, and that would be the "concentration" at the border.
Ono, pacta sunt servanda...
New timetables apply in Prague from Sunday, mainly affecting suburban connections
Passengers in Prague's Integrated Transport (PID) will face several changes from Sunday, mainly concerning suburban connections.
New lines were created, some changed the route, and others disappeared.
The Mladoboleslavsko region is now being integrated into the system.
In the capital city, express trains from České Budějovice stop at Zahradní Město station from Sunday.
Suburban train transport will be operated by S7 trains, which pass through Prague's main railway station on the route from Beroun to Český Brod.
The recently opened Prague-Zahradní Město station will now be served by the R17 express train from České Budějovice and Benešov.
PID will now be expanded to other areas.
Among other things, buses will go to Světlá nad Sázavou, Blatno u Jesenice, Staré Splavy and Turnov.
Buses in the Mladá Boleslav region will be included, including lines with an overlap to the Liberec and Hradec Králové regions.
With the integration, 77 lines will be cancelled, 37 new ones will be introduced, and the operation of 12 existing ones will be adjusted.
A new bus line 405 will depart from Prague's Zličín and will go all the way to Žatec.
A new direct connection Prague – Kralovice u Rakovníka was also established, replacing the cancelled S53 train line.
Connections from Prague to Rakovník will be strengthened during the morning rush hour and at weekends, when express line number 404 will newly depart.
Lines 400 and 410 running to the Liberec region are now included in the PID system.
They depart from the Střížkov metro station, not from the Nádraží Holešovice station.
The backbone line 400 runs through Mělník, Dubou and Česká Lípa to Nový Bor and selected connections continue to Rumburk or Cvikov.
Additional line 410 goes via Mělník and Dubou to Doksy, Mimoň and Jablonné v Podještědí.
Conversely, the operation on ten Central Bohemian local lines, including to Mochov, Dobříš and Rožmitál pod Třemšínem, has been cancelled or restricted.
All trains departing from Prague at 02:30 have been cancelled.
Due to the modernization of the railway, long-term restrictions continue on the lines Prague – Beroun, Prague – Lysá nad Labem and around Kolín.
Changes await travelers at other locations as well.
Buses replace some cancelled railway lines or the section on line 420 from Dobříš is being extended with a connection from Prague, where it is possible to use PID tickets all the way to Milevsko.
The routes of lines 540 to 543 in the Nymburk region have been changed and the routes of some buses on the border of Central Bohemia and Hořovice in the Pilsen Region have been modified.
Healthy snack/lunch to the office from the supermarket
Hi, I'm doing the classic 9-5 with a 30min break and my only option for getting food is to go next door to Billy's or a bit further to Lidl.
Since I have no movement after work, I don't have the energy to exercise, so I have to eat as healthy and diet-wise as possible.
Unfortunately, I never know what to buy and I end up buying pizza bagels for lunch and yogurt and an apple for a snack.
Question: What healthy food without the need for cooking would you recommend me to buy at the supermarket?
Not everyone is waiting for a meter of snow like you, unfortunately.
And these are not trees that you necessarily have to see.
Under the snow, only the tip of the tree may be hidden.
If damaged, the tree may be more susceptible to fungal diseases.
I'm not saying that it's the only reason why they forbid us to go off-piste, but it is one of them.
Dara's confession about her relationship with Nedved: I wasn't looking forward to this at all
The Czech showbiz pond has been living nothing else since Friday than the revelation of the relationship between Dara Rolins and Pavel Nedved.
They have been together since the summer, the famous footballer even got divorced because of the singer.
Dara has now sent fans a comprehensive message explaining why she kept her love a secret from them for six months.
"I would venture to say that currently there is no one in the Czech Republic or Slovakia who has not heard that Dara caught a bear, excuse me, a Nedved," jokes Dara Rolins, who is head over heels in love with the most successful Czech footballer.
But it is said that he packed her up, not the other way around.
Three days are the center of attention, and although they are used to the public interest, they are not happy about it.
And here it is.
What we both dreaded but knew would eventually come, continues the singer.
I just don't know who's worse off.
Whether those who are not interested at all and it jumps out at them even from the can, or us, whose lives they dissect in detail.
As if someone wanted to hear your opinion on whether you and your husband or girlfriend are a good match, or if you insisted that everyone should know the list of your ex-partners and be familiar with the list of your mistakes and errors.
That's what you want, Dara said.
The pair got together in Italy, where Rolins traveled to prepare their new fashion collection.
Nedvěd has been working there for a long time as the vice-president of the Juventus football club.
They only went public with the truth now because they were waiting for Nedved's divorce to be finalized.
He and his wife Ivana have been separated for three years, but they have not been married on paper for three weeks.
In any case, we thank those who rejoice with us and wish us well.
We are all just people, we have families, children, pasts and dreams.
We're not perfect, but I think we both have our hearts in the right place.
That's why I love my new husband and just as he stands by me, I stand by him, for better or for worse, Rolins concluded.
Hey, the other commenters have already said everything important, I just want to confirm that dorms are great to start with, my classmates usually got to know each other and became friends during the first semester or two and then found apartments together, which I think is the best option because you know who you'll be living with.
Apartments are usually not advertised too long in advance, so you probably won't find much right now, but it certainly doesn't hurt to look at the offer.
Otherwise, be sure to avoid not only Cejl, but also the surroundings (streets like Vranovská, Francouzská, etc., that's a pretty bad address), and some parts of Židenice are a bit of a ghetto.
On the other hand, the Veveří district is very student-oriented, Královo Pole and that way is nice, besides it is close to most faculties of VUT (I don't know where you are exactly enrolling).
I've never looked for a rental myself, but I'm a native of Brno, so I can possibly help with Brno as a whole if you need any more information :)
That's an example of completely "normal" thinking.
Because of what a few doctors decided to do somewhere in Poland, it's actually okay that the state doesn't sufficiently fund some schools.
Either let them learn what they want and pay for it from their own pocket, or let them go according to the state and the state pays for it.
After all, we cannot let a private actor take over a piece of education just because he adds a few crowns to a full-fledged state contribution, and thanks to this he will be able to teach what he wants in schools.
Such a statement loses some weight when it is written by a person who two days earlier made such a comment about the petition for a boycott of the totalitarian state:
So a vote against someone getting an abortion is the same to you as a vote against a statue standing in a square?
If I were you, I would consult directly with the person who assigned you the work.
Otherwise, I have experienced in cataloging/digitizing that (even long-time professionals) either just guess, or write something like xxx *** or ... (according to convention) and note that it is unreadable.
The truth is, in this case it's quite readable, so I wouldn't really recommend it.
Personally, I would deal with it in a footnote depending on what program you are using.
If you want to be a diligent and hardworking student, you can look into some character databases and find the closest one.
But since it looks like you're drawing from some book, I'd guess that the author or printer simply created their own symbol that matches what's physically on the coin.
PS: Isn't it the Odrysian Empire (Kingdom) rather than OdryNská?
PSS: Someone has already cracked it for you here.
Check out that comment with ΦΙΛH
Politicians have no idea what will be the "theme" of our presidency.
That's a much bigger blunder than having interpreters with them.
The idea that they would approve something because no one understood a text is funny.
All important approved documents are examined word for word, some basic knowledge of English is not enough anyway, that is a matter for lawyers.
Hundreds of translators and interpreters work in various EU institutions, and English is more suitable for politicians for informal contacts and establishing above-standard relationships.
Moreover, with the English it is quite interesting, after the withdrawal of GB from the EU.
I don't understand the hate for Cejl.
I've been working there for three years now and it's completely fine.
How many times I drive from work even at 10 in the evening and never any problem.
The fact that it is a ghetto can only be said by someone who has hardly set foot there in his life.
Yeah, most of the Roma population of Brno lives there, but all they do is loiter on the sidewalk and park where they're not supposed to :D definitely not something I'd be afraid to go out on the street at night.
So if you are looking for relatively cheap housing with good access to the center, I would go for it.
A lot of apartments there are now newly renovated or newly built.
Felix Slováček (78) without Dada and his lover Gelemová like a stake in the fence!
Who will they spend Christmas with?
On Sunday, most people lit the first candle on the Advent wreath, but Felix Slováček did not.
I don't have an Advent wreath, so there was nothing to light.
"I've seen Dáda's wreath and Lucie surely has one too," said the saxophonist to Blesk, thus confirming Patrasová's words that she often visits her.
He visits, but does not live in their house in Vinohrady, where Dáda remained alone after his departure.
Slováček still does not know where he will be on Christmas Eve.
We recently met with Anna, Felix and both grandsons.
VIDEO: Felix Slováček and Lucie Gelemová: TOGETHER AGAIN!
Felix Slováček and Lucie Gelemová: TOGETHER AGAIN!
But we kept talking, so there was no Christmas.
I really don't know where I'll be.
I'm buying gifts gradually and I'll definitely buy something for Dad and Lucia, probably perfume.
"I'm a gentleman," added Felix, who himself came to the launch of the music video at the Richman Club.
I'm here alone, but I don't feel alone.
I always find someone to have a good chat with, says Slováček, who was glad to meet Luděk Sobota's wife Adriana or singer Kamila Nývltová.
And he made it very clear.
And we are Iceland so that we can afford not to have soldiers and weapons?
I doubt that anyone will defend us for us, and our location is so strategic that the aggressor would have to be a complete idiot not to occupy this territory.
And I don't see why that should be a bad argument, explain that to me?
I do not know of any other component that could be deployed in hospitals in a crisis.
There are few police officers and they can't afford it, so too with the firefighters and nowhere else is there such a high percentage of health-trained people at such a level.
And that our army is capable of defending just Ostrava goes against the previous governments, not the army, which has been asking for new toys for quite some time.
Record drought in the Czech Republic.
It is necessary to change agricultural subsidies, the countryside should not be just a food factory, says the journalist.
The Czech Republic is going through the worst drought in recent years.
Scientists have reported a decrease in water in mountain and sub-mountain areas, and even places where there was previously no shortage of moisture are recording lower amounts of rainfall.
The cause of the drought in much of Central Europe is climate change.
The impacts are further exacerbated by the way we manage the soil.
What to prepare for in relation to drought?
And how can we help nature in difficult times?
Yeah that's about it, I can barely keep my skates on the ice, I don't know what it's like to play hockey and the tactics (which I tried out in Franchise Hockey Manager) are also pretty much a joke.
And whether you are a hockey team "Medved Russia" or "Lama China", losing by two goals, even if you do not have to win the game at all costs, is different than when it is compared.
But either way, what I hear from Czech commentators pointing out what referees pay attention to or don't pay attention to, whether it's men's or women's hockey, it's all weird, but that's probably the same with all sports, UEFA and "Italian actors" or motorsports F1, WRC, etc.
Controversy is everywhere.
And in my opinion, if it were the other way around, it would be like always, and since Czech Republic has lost to Russia more often than it has won, it would be the classic "they lost" vs "WE won".
Coronavirus: Number of infections in Russia exceeds 10 million
On Saturday, December 11th, the Czech Republic recorded 9080 daily infections.
5766 people are hospitalized.
In total, 34,451 people have died in the Czech Republic, plus another 74.
There have been 1967 confirmed cases per 100,000 in the Czech Republic in the last 14 days, and 871 per 100,000 in the last week.
The number of infections in Russia exceeded 10 million on Sunday.
In the last 24 hours, 29,929 new infections were registered.
It is the lowest daily count since October 13th.
The total number of registered infections in Russia is 10,016,896.
The daily death toll is 1132, the lowest daily death toll since late October.
Britain is facing an "inevitable" major wave of infections caused by Omicron, Dr Susan Hopkins, chief medical adviser for Britain's Health Security Authority, said on television on Sunday.
New quarantine measures will be needed.
People infected with omicron are already hospitalized in Britain, and Hopkins expects the number to rise.
So far, no one has died from the omicron, but hospitalizations occur about fourteen days after infection and deaths about three weeks after infection.
British Labour Party leader Keir Starmer said on Sunday that Boris Johnson may have broken the law by holding a Christmas quiz in Downing Street last December, when lockdown was imposed and Christmas parties were banned.
One minister in Johnson's government defended that the quiz was done "virtually", via a computer.
However, it was attended by groups of employees gathered around computers in Downing Street.
In Britain, pressure is mounting to remove Johnson from the Prime Minister's office.
Last December, when a strict lockdown was imposed in London and Christmas parties were banned, Johnson's ministers held numerous parties in defiance of the lockdown.
The British public and media are furious that Johnson and his government made fun of them:
Paul Brand, editor of commercial broadcaster ITV for Britain: Two years ago today, Boris Johnson won a resounding majority in the general election.
This morning the Conservative Party is speaking about the need to remove him from the position of Prime Minister.
Remarkable how quickly events unfolded.
Want to turn around and save your skin?
Hungary faces elections in the spring that could end Viktor Orbán's twelve-year rule.
These will be elections of pan-European importance.
How much can we expect them to be fair?
They won't be fair.
They probably won't even be free, because the last two elections under Orbán were not like that.
His Fidesz party controls the media, changes the boundaries of electoral districts to profit from it, and does other smaller or bigger tricks.
The latest one is that everyone can vote where they want in practice.
This will allow Fidesz to shuttle voters from decided districts to those where the outcome is uncertain and the opposition could prevail.
So I'm just repeating that they won't be fair at all.
Do you think it will be as unfair as it was in 2014 and 2018?
After all, the situation is significantly different.
Previously, it was not a question of whether Fidesz would win, but how much and whether it would have a constitutional majority.
Now there is a real chance that the unified opposition will gain more votes and mandates.
This is very unusual for Viktor Orbán and his party.
Won't they play even harder in an effort to maintain power?
Yes, we have some indications that they are ready to go beyond what they have done so far.
Recently, a recording of the Speaker of the Parliament and one of the leaders of Fidesz, László Kövér, has leaked to independent media, where he is telling the heads of the secret services that the opposition is a threat to national security.
Are those the hints of the new approach you are talking about?
Yes, that is one of the new features.
It all starts with the language.
I was beaten quite often, last time at 14, my parents mom doesn't have much patience, neither do I, dad has it for a long time, but then he explodes extremely (just in relation to me).
I am also very choleric and used to get so angry as a child that I would lie on the ground in a fit and turn blue, which happened to me twice and they had to take me under the shower to calm me down.
Sometimes they would spank me as a form of discipline, sometimes it was more out of desperation.
I definitely have a tendency to solve things with violence now too, like when I was little I used to fight quite a bit, now I just punch something to let out my anger and when I was younger I would maybe slap my parents on the hand (so I wouldn't get a spanking), so nothing too extreme, but I always have that urge.
I can't tell to what extent it's my explosiveness, but I'm sure my upbringing has a part in it too.
I'm afraid I'll also lose patience with my kids and deal with it the same way.
I think that hitting children is just wrong and that my parents shouldn't have done it, especially not at that moment when it was no longer "educational," but out of frustration. On the other hand, maybe every parent messes up something at some point, so it's probably impossible not to mess up your children at least a little bit, so I don't blame them for it.
It doesn't offend me, I don't see why OP should be ashamed of anything.
Laws should be clear and unambiguous.
So I would call Kundami those who make laws of such quality.
Otherwise, I was wondering if you're worried about a loss of income?
Can you really count on people wanting and buying the product so that you will have enough to pay off the mortgage?
Kočner's monstrous world.
Where will Slovakia move the trial of the murderers of journalist Kuciak?
In Slovakia, the main trial begins for the four defendants accused of the murder of Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová.
The death of an investigative reporter and his partner changed Slovakia.
It set civil society in motion, but it also revealed the practices of accused businessman Marián Kočner and his connections to the top of Slovak politics and justice.
What major breakthrough will the process mean for Slovakia?
Journalists are tremendously to blame for this.
How is it possible that this petition received much more media attention than the counter-petition of the deans of all medical faculties, which came out a day or two later?
No way, they got carried away and the company paid the price for it.

Another government ends and the law on the involvement of municipalities in the selection of storage sites is nowhere to be found.
Minister Karel Havlíček's proposal needs to be drastically revised.
The government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš is over and the law, which was supposed to ensure that the interests of municipalities and their citizens are respected in the selection and permitting of a deep repository for high-level radioactive waste, still does not exist.
The Government's Legislative Council has suspended consideration of a proposal submitted to the Government by the Ministry of Industry and Trade after years of delays.
However, its content is in serious conflict not only with the municipalities concerned associated in the Platform Against the Deep Repository, but also with the Union of Towns and Municipalities of the Czech Republic.
Municipalities expect the law to significantly strengthen their possibilities in deciding on the repository, which has been promised to mayors since 2011, when the first work on this legislation began and which is required by the Czech Atomic Act and the European Directive.
We expect the new government, in accordance with its coalition agreement, to revise the proposal in cooperation with the municipalities.
The draft law by Minister Karel Havlíček, which the Platform has at its disposal, is criticized by municipalities in particular: The proposed level of involvement of municipalities and the public in the process of deciding on the selection of a site for the repository is insufficient and cannot ensure that the interests of municipalities and their citizens are respected.
It can only be truly effective if municipalities or the public can influence whether the process will continue in a given locality at all.
This can be ensured by imposing an obligation on the Repository Administration to obtain the consent of the municipalities concerned before initiating specific proceedings.
The submitted draft of the factual intention almost completely ignores the involvement of the public and makes the citizens of municipalities practically mere statists in permit proceedings.
The design lacks a system of compensations for municipalities for the entire process of searching and selecting a location for the storage facility, its permitting and operation.
In reality, according to today's legal standards, municipal representatives do not have many options to defend the interests of their citizens when looking for a place for a repository.
Only in certain authorisation procedures can they submit comments or appeal, but the authority or minister in whose interest it is to issue the authorisation decides.
Any lawsuit shall not have a suspensive effect on the execution of exploration or construction works.
The co-determination of local authorities that the Platform is calling for is a principle commonly used in many democratically advanced countries and certainly in those that have already progressed in permitting storage, such as Sweden or Finland.
In addition, the preparation of the law is another failure of the state administration, which hires external law firms to prepare legislation.
In this case, it is a contract with the law firm HAVEL & PARTNERS s.r.o., which was entered into by SÚRAO and follows on from contracts with lawyer Jan Zemánek.
The total amount for these works should amount to almost CZK 4 million according to the contract register.
Antonín Seknička, Deputy Mayor of the Cejle municipality from the Hrádek area and spokesperson for the Platform against Deep Storage said: After the Industry Ministers, who only pushed off the equalization of the position of local authorities to the state offices in the search for a deep storage of highly radioactive waste to their successors, we expect a more significant turnaround from the new government.
We also offer a helping hand.
We would also like to thank the Union of Towns and Municipalities for its support, which perceives the issue of insufficient rights of municipalities in such a fundamental construction similarly to the municipalities directly concerned in selected localities.
The Platform against Deep Storage brings together 51 members (35 municipalities and towns and 16 associations) in order to promote a change in the state's approach to the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste, which will not be limited to deep storage.
The Platform also advocates that the decision on the selection of a site for possible storage should be subject to the prior consent of the municipalities concerned.
Actor John Goodman (69) was forced to lose weight out of fear: He lost 90 kg.
Although he had no need to change anything about his lifestyle for many years, he was eventually frightened by doctors.
They told him that if he did not lose weight, he would die.
And it worked.
Goodman gradually lost 90 kilograms, half his original weight of 180 kg, reports The Sun.
He showed off his new character in Los Angeles at the premiere of the animated series The Freak Brothers.
The fat guy from the sitcom Roseanne is a completely different person!
John liked to joke that friends and family begged him to lose weight because his large body was causing furniture to crack.
"I put everything in my mouth," the actor said in a 2018 interview with AARP.
This time I wanted to do it slowly.
Move, exercise.
"I'm getting to an age where I can't afford to sit still anymore," Goodman, whose transformation is amazing, told ABC.
It also depends on what kind of boss and in what context you want to use the word "boss".
If it's some text on a platform that expects readers from the gaming environment, I wouldn't translate it at all.
If it were a formal text, like a university one, I would probably look for ways to describe or explain the boss more.
On top of that, there are more types of bosses.
Games like Dark Souls etc. have several bosses, right, so a "boss" is something like the lord/ruler of a given level, and then there's the final boss...
In many games, there are hidden bosses (super boss, hidden boss) that do not need to be defeated at all in order to complete the game or level, but are often even stronger than the standard boss.
Then there are games like Half-Life, where there are bosses, but the player does not directly fight them (Tentacle, Gargantua), so how can they even be called?
And then there are the mini bosses.
It is not possible to translate the boss in one word, Czech and other languages do not solve it somehow (interesting is only Catalan, which translates the boss as the final opponent).
In short, it is significant for a story or game in general, computer-controlled, an opponent stronger than all previous ones and guarding the completion of a level or task.
The whole world is searching for the missing Peter from London.
The Czech police also got involved.
British police have been searching for missing Petra Srncová since 3 December.
The Czech police were also involved in the search.
She has been looking for the 32-year-old woman from Uherské Hradiště since 7 December.
Through Interpol, he also assists the British police.
Czech Petra Srncovou was last seen by her colleagues on November 28th.
British police have been searching for her since December 3.
Interpol issued a so-called yellow circular because of it.
So the whole world is searching for Peter.
"The Czech police are working closely with the British police," confirmed police spokesperson Kateřina Rendlová.
"We are sharing information about the case," she added.
The search for Peter has now been announced on the police website.
According to him, she is 168 centimeters tall, is slender, and has brown eyes and long, straight hair of the same color.
It should come from the Uherské Hradiště region.
Petra worked as a nurse in one of London's hospitals.
Friends and colleagues are worried about her, as such a disappearance is very unusual for her
Local MP Harriet Harman also joined the search for Peter.
She got involved in putting up flyers with Petra's face on them.
"We are very concerned about her," she said at a Saturday news conference.
British police have already arrested one suspect in connection with the disappearance.
But it is not clear who he is and what he had in common with Petra.
The pre-Christmas Czech Republic is terrorized by Agent Tesla.
While data in October showed a slight decline in attack campaigns, attacks intensified significantly last month as the year drew to a close.
We saw a major campaign in connection with Agent Tesla on November 18.
The attacks are targeted at the Czech Republic.
The attackers' strategy remains the same for now.
The infected email attachment is designed to grab the user's attention with a title that references payments and financial transactions.
While last month the dangerous attachment had the word invoice in its name, this time it was marked as Copy of corrections of receipts for 11.2021...exe," said Martin Jirkal from Eset.
Spyware includes features that scan Internet browsers and other programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Yandex email clients.
Malicious code actively searches for stored credentials, which it then sends to attackers.
The last strong campaign took place in the Czech Republic at the turn of August and September, and with the approaching holidays and the end of the year, the activity of attackers is growing again.
In November, the Formbook spyware also remained active.
Unlike Agent Tesla, the attackers in this case are not specifically targeting the Czech Republic and security specialists in November have mostly detected campaigns with a global reach.
Compared to October data, Formbook weakened slightly in November, but still accounts for nearly one fifth of all detections.
The attacks took place continuously throughout the month with increased activity on 3, 10 and 15 November.
Formbook most often contained an attachment with the extension .exe, which was called REQUEST FOR SPECIFICATION.
The term receipt still appears as well.
An attachment in Czech can then be far more dangerous for a Czech user.
Security analysts have noted a significant decrease and dampening of activity for the Fareit program, which was responsible for 1.6 percent of attacks and had no major offensive campaigns in the Czech Republic in the past few months.
Today's demo of smart people who don't need oxygen because oxygen is for vaccinated idiots.
The march through Prague was bigger than the media reported.
Judging by the footage of the procession along the waterfront and my experience as a protester, I am not afraid of an estimate of around 10,000 people.
People in the procession filled the embankment and the bridge and the opposite embankment road.
That means a lot of people.
An unprecedented number of passers-by spontaneously join the procession of around four thousand demonstrators.
I say that something new is being born here, writes Radek Mokrý.
That the persistent dissatisfaction of several large groups or strata of the population led to them finding a common language.
Only the anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers and the like wouldn't be able to fill or pay for such a large procession.
The events of the Chcípl pes association have an upward popularity, it reminds me of A Million Moments for Democracy Inside Out.
Sometimes I get the feeling that they even rent the same stage and equipment.
It's hard to say what kind of movement could be cobbled together from this discontent, it depends not only on the influx of money, but also on whether the Pfizer three-dose vaccine doesn't become a four or more dose one.
It's definitely not going to be a leftist or centrist movement, you bet.
The three-dose vaccine will almost certainly become a multi-dose one, as it is becoming increasingly clear that we will need to get re-vaccinated every six months.
I am very glad that the vaccines saved us.
A brilliant feat of scientists, of which humanity is rightly proud.
End of stalemate, Bulgaria has a new prime minister preaching change
Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has tasked Kiril Petkov of the anti-corruption movement Continuing to Change, which won the November elections, to form a new government.
He has already managed to assemble a broad coalition government that is expected to take office within a few days.
The country's political crisis has been ongoing since April, when the previous government lost elections under the weight of anti-corruption protests.
However, the victorious parties advocating the fight against bribery and abuse of power were unable to reach an agreement, so two more premature elections followed.
What do cats do when no one is looking?
The "secretly" captured footage is a global hit.
In Britain, fears grew over the weekend about the fate of a 32-year-old Czech woman who has been wanted by London police for several days.
Petra Srncová was last seen two weeks ago when she was driving home from work to the south of the British capital.
In addition to the police, the former employer of the children's hospital worker and the Member of Parliament representing the part of London where she lived are also calling for information.
"Petra's disappearance is completely out of character and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare," Lucy O'Connor from the Lambeth police station, where Ms. Srncová worked, said in a video on Saturday.
"Her family in the Czech Republic is also very worried about her and just wants to know where she is," she continued.
She said the missing Czech woman left work at around 7:45 p.m. on Sunday, November 28, and headed home to the Camberwell neighborhood.
She was last reportedly seen on a bus about half an hour later.
Her disappearance was reported on December 3 by one of her co-workers.
According to British media, Srncová worked as a "nurses' assistant" at Evelina London Children's Hospital, which is part of the hospital's association Guy's and St Thomas'.
"We are extremely concerned for our dear colleague Petra, who is missing," the health care facility group said in a Twitter post.
"We would encourage anyone who may have any information that could help locate her to contact the police," the statement continued.
The amateur painter of children's rooms from Šumperk, Zdeňka Dvořáková Kocourková (and also a regional pirate councillor), was accused by an anonymous person that her paintings violated copyright.
The court, however, ruled that the Krtek paintings in the Šumperk rooms do not violate the law.
In Ústí nad Labem, there was a hole in the road for a month in the form of a canal without a hatch.
Life was at stake.
The municipality referred complaints to the Road and Transport Authority, which owns the road, and since it allegedly did not respond, the hole remained open.
In the end, the authorities clarified their responsibilities and ownership, and after a month, the RMD began to "intensively address the situation".
