located in the Czech Republic's Liberec Region have uncovered the remains of an ancient Neanderthal hunter-gatherer settlement offering a rare glimpse into the prehistoric era in the Czech lands Preliminary dating suggests the site dates back to the Middle Paleolithic period This discovery is significant for understanding the early history of the Bohemian Paradise area an archaeologist at the Museum of the Bohemian Paradise in Turnov The discovery stands out due to its location While several similar findings have been made in the region It was discovered at the site of a planned emergency services center in Turnov’s Vesecko district these initial findings suggest that the site could have been a more permanent settlement for a group of Neanderthals archaeologists found a jasper scraper and other small flint tools which have helped to confirm the preliminary dating of the site the analysis of these samples will continue throughout the year with laboratory tests expected to provide further insights into the age and use of the site The region surrounding the site would have been covered by a forest during the Middle Paleolithic The exact nature of the settlement—whether it was a short-term or permanent hunter-gatherer station—remains speculative it is likely that the site supported a group of 15 to 20 individuals The full extent of the site has yet to be determined as the area excavated thus far is only part of the original site with scientists examining the gathered samples in laboratories to gain a deeper understanding of the site's age and usage Your morning coffee deserves a great companion.

On March 29, a partial solar eclipse swept across parts of the Northern Hemisphere The edge of the moon's shadow passed across Greenland northwestern Africa and northeastern North America A partial solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun but only partially covers the sun's disk. Unlike in a total solar eclipse, the moon didn't completely block out the sun this time, so observers needed equipment such as eclipse glasses or pinhole cameras to view the sun safely Because the eclipse happened at sunrise in North America seeing the spectacle at its best depended on having a clear view of the eastern horizon and cloudless weather Sungazers in Greenland and Europe captured these stunning images of the moon taking a "bite" out of the sun The moon slowly traverses the sun behind a statue of Lutheran missionary Hans Egede in Nuuk Nuuk saw nearly 90% of the sun blacked out during the March 29 eclipse were treated to glimpses of the partial eclipse behind clouds around midday The moon carves a bite out of the sun in Brighton Ghostly clouds obscure the sun in this eerie image of the partial eclipse behind the Liver Bird statue in Liverpool A slim crescent of the sun peeks out from behind the moon above a home in Nuuk had their view of the eclipse completely obscured by clouds observers at the Turnov Observatory could watch livestreams of the eclipse on their phones —Here are the best photos of the April 8 total solar eclipse over North America —'Blood moon' total lunar eclipse: Stunning photos of our celestial neighbor turning red over the Americas —How often do solar eclipses occur? Germany caught the beginnings of the eclipse behind an overcast sky The next partial solar eclipse will be visible from parts of Australia and Antarctica on Sept. 21, 2025 Those who wish to experience totality should mark their calendars for Aug when a total solar eclipse will be visible in Greenland will experience a partial eclipse that day The town of Turnov in the Liberec region has been ranked as the best place to live in the country outperforming all other regions in a study analyzing the quality of life across the Czech Republic conducted by Česká spořitelna in collaboration with the Europe in Data platform assessed 206 regions based on factors including economy But what makes Turnov—with a population of just over 15,000 people—so special According to the findings The city performed particularly well in leisure opportunities and civic amenities ranking third and seventh best respectively in these areas.  Public transport accessibility and road network coverage were also identified as key strengths with Turnov having the seventh-highest number of public transport stops per area among all regions analyzed “We really try to be a place where a normal We strive to ensure that civic amenities are of a high standard,” Turnov Mayor Tomáš Hocke told the study The study highlights Turnov’s well-developed infrastructure and community services and a relatively high number of libraries—one for every 1,000 inhabitants people are moving to nearby municipalities,” Hocke said he emphasized that the city does not aim to expand into a large metropolis but rather to maintain its character as a community where residents can enjoy short walking distances to essential services Although no exact house price data in the region exists, available properties on the iDnes real estate portal show just how much cheaper it is compared to the capital.  A 115-square-meter house with 566 square meters of land in the town costs CZK 5.5 million a 107-square-meter house with 357 square meters of land costs over three times more While Prague ranked highly in many individual parameters it placed 23rd overall due to factors such as higher crime rates and limited school accessibility and Moravian-Silesian fared the worst in the study grappling with issues such as population decline This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just

the variation in many of these properties can a full understanding of crucial biological regulatory mechanisms be achieved Such analyses have so far been restricted by technical limitations and cost Data analysis and data sharing are crucial to maximise the effect of mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses as is making such data available to cell biologists in free to access Our understanding of cellular processes will be enhanced by predicting the interdependence of protein properties knowing that a protein with a certain modification Future innovations will enable more comprehensive measurement of a wider range of protein properties The proteome is a dynamic system in which each protein has interconnected properties — dimensions — that together contribute to the phenotype of a cell Measuring these properties has proved challenging owing to their diversity and dynamic nature Advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics now enable the measurement of multiple properties for thousands of proteins post-translational modifications and interactions Complementing these experimental developments are new data analysis integration and visualization tools as well as data-sharing

matters in science Wrexham’s annual turnover more than doubled in their first season back in the EFL to a record £26.7million — but the League Two runners-up still posted a loss of £2.7m takes total losses across the three full seasons with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at the helm to almost £11m ($14.2m) the sizeable loan owed to the RR McReynolds Company — belonging to the two Hollywood stars and owner of the majority of the club’s shares — has since been paid off according to the strategic financial report accompanying the latest figures By the time this was settled in the current financial year The club is now free of all shareholder loans the three-page report accompanying the accounts — seen by The Athletic before publication at Companies House next week — confirms an increase in the wage bill to £11m (up from £6.9m in 2022-23) This helps partly explain Wrexham’s latest financial loss despite that soaring turnover which is believed to be a League Two record by some distance Other significant outlays for Wrexham during the period covered include stadium maintenance and upgrade (£2.8m) administration and office costs (£2.5m) and legal and professional costs (£5m) including buying saleable stock from suppliers accounted for £2.6m but was more than covered by overall retail income of £4.5m (up from £3.4m the previous year) The big driver of the 155 per cent rise in total revenue — from £10.4m in 2022-23 to £26.7m as Phil Parkinson’s side finished second in League Two — was sponsorship Lucrative deals with United Airlines (shirt) and SToK Cold Brew Coffee (stadium) kicked in during the 12 months covered by the latest financial figures helping sponsorship income soar from £1.8m in 2022-23 to £13.1m last season This underlines the value of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary a spotlight that has made the club hugely attractive to blue-chip sponsors the fourth series of which is being filmed has built a global fanbase — for the first time the UK market is responsible for less than half of the club’s annual turnover at 47.5 per cent (compared to 74.8 per cent in 2022-23) was responsible for 52.1 per cent (up from 24.6 per cent) of turnover Matchday revenue in 2023-24 rose to £5m (up from £3.1m) during a campaign that saw the opening of a temporary stand at the Kop end in December which lifted the stadium capacity by a little over 2,000 to 12,868 Here, The Athletic offers a detailed assessment of the figures, including what they mean going forward for a club currently bidding for an unprecedented third straight promotion which would take them into the Championship The latest accounts cover the club’s first season back in the EFL Wrexham finished as runners-up in League Two to clinch promotion for a second consecutive year These figures do not include any of the club-record transfers involving Ollie Rathbone the latter becoming Wrexham’s first seven-figure transfer earlier this year Nor do they include the New York-based Allyn family coming on board as minority investors or any costs entailed in the recent redesign of the new 5,500-capacity Kop stand It’s a continuation of a trend that started in the first full season of the Reynolds and McElhenney era (2021-22) when annual turnover soared by 404 per cent to almost £6m This increased to £10.4m in their second year and now £26.7m Turning a previously provincial club into a global entity via the Welcome to Wrexham documentary both in terms of attracting supporters and delivering those all-important lucrative sponsorship deals Such is Wrexham’s appeal on the opposite side of the Atlantic that SToK pays handsomely for stadium-naming rights despite not selling their product in the UK Pre-season tours are a big part of that strategy. The year covered by these financial figures saw Wrexham embark on their first trip to the States to play four matches — including sold-out games against Chelsea and Manchester United — in North Carolina The show has clearly been fundamental to the club’s growth but they earned the precise some of nothing from series two and three which were broadcast during the autumn and spring of the 2023-24 financial year Wrexham have never received a penny from it the intention of the owners and advisor-turned-director Shaun Harvey from the beginning was to use the global exposure to drive the club’s commercial operations Sponsorship increasing seven-fold to £13.1m is why the show has long been considered “the club’s biggest commercial asset” despite the Racecourse coffers not benefiting directly The success of series one meant Wrexham were in a strong position when negotiating those sponsorship deals — shirt stadium and so on — for the 2023-24 season Current leaders Walsall posted revenues of £6.7m in the same financial year as Wrexham pocketed £26.7m while Bradford City — the division’s best-supported club in terms of attendances — brought in £8.5m during 2022-23 the last set of accounts available for the Yorkshire club with Portsmouth posting an annual turnover of £13.6m en route to lifting the title last season Even well-established Championship clubs such as Preston North End (£16.9m) and Hull City (£21.2m) pale in comparison while Sheffield Wednesday’s turnover for their first season back in the Championship stood at £26.3m The average crowd at Hillsborough in that same 2023-24 season was 26,762 Fair point. Certainly, the club — in the strategy report accompanying the 2022-23 accounts — had been hoping to at least break even “The financial losses suffered by the club since the takeover shouldn’t be repeated,” it read “with income generated by the club now sufficient to meet the operational costs of the club going forward.” An increased wage bill to £11m (up from £6.9m in 2022-23) during a season when the women’s team turned semi-pro for the first time was a factor in why that hope did not materialise There was also an additional £824,000 incurred as a cost of achieving promotion from League Two namely bonus payments to players and staff and promotion clauses included in some transfer deals Stadium maintenance proved a further drain at £2.8m. A decent chunk of this went on erecting the temporary Kop stand in December, an outlay the club insisted at the time would not be covered by subsequent ticket sales Legal and professional costs also came to £5m in the 12 months covered by the latest accounts This includes monies paid to Maximum Effort and More Better Industries — companies owned by Reynolds and McElhenney respectively — for the considerable work that went into securing big sponsorship deals and then maintaining those partnerships “Payments made to both More Better Industries and Maximum Effort are consistent with those that would be made to other agencies who could offer similar services,” reads the report that accompanies the 2023-24 accounts A marketing contribution to Welcome to Wrexham was also made via Wrexham Holdings LLC in recognition of how important its continued success is going forward Other major costs included the academy (£757,000) The loan helped fund the purchase of the Racecourse Ground and stadium improvements The amount owed then rose further in the financial year to June 30 from £3.7m to £8.9m as overall losses mounted amid the push to escape the National League By the time the loan was repaid this current financial year (2024-25) Previous accounts have revealed interest was set at three per cent over the Bank of England base rate This meant the interest paid on the loans as the 2023-24 financial year ended will have been 8.25 per cent The loan being repaid in full is significant for two reasons Wrexham will now be a more attractive proposition to other lenders stadium development or building a new training ground Similar in terms of profit and loss, albeit with an increased wage bill to reflect Wrexham’s League One status, not just on the field but also off it, with several appointments to the club’s leadership team having been made in recent months following chief executive Michael Williamson’s arrival last May These off-field appointments are expected to reduce the reliance on outside parties to work on commercial deals and the like Income is also likely to increase due to raised central payments from the EFL to reflect that third-tier status along with increased solidarity payments from the Premier League The EFL’s new four-year TV deal will also further boost the coffers with hundreds of fans making the trip each month most taking in at least one match in the process Much will depend on whether Wrexham can clinch that third consecutive promotion then there will be another surge in income thanks to the increased payments due to Championship clubs The difference between a place in the third and second tiers is worth in the region of £8m once both the EFL central and Premier League solidarity payments are taken into account One income stream likely to fall next season, however, is matchday revenue, as work begins on the long-awaited new Kop stand. This will mean a season-long return to a three-sided stadium reducing the capacity back to around 10,000 they certainly complied in that first season back in the EFL Under the salary cost management protocol (SCMP) employed in the bottom two tiers League Two clubs can spend a maximum 55 per cent of annual revenue on wages and Wrexham came in at 41.3 per cent last season the threshold has been raised to 60 per cent but As for the possibility of promotion and what this will mean if Wrexham are to kick off next season in the Championship clubs are subject to profit and sustainability Rules (P&S) rather than SCMP it means second-tier clubs can now lose up to £41.5m across a rolling three-year cycle year one of that reporting period will be 2023-24 and year two the current ongoing season Wrexham repeat last season’s £2.7m loss again in 2024-25 then that would leave the club with a potential loss of around £36m to play with in the 2025-26 campaign That’s not to say they’ll be wanting to necessarily test that limit But it does offer plenty of headroom should Reynolds McElhenney and the Allyn family want to push on again towards the ultimate ambition of delivering Premier League football to north Wales (Top photo: Rob McElhenney  at a Welcome to Wrexham event in Los Angeles in 2024; by Frazer Harrison via Getty Images) This webpage uses Cookies and JavaScript in order to work properly We strongly recommend to enable those technologies in yur browser In case of wrongly displayed content you can request necessary information at e-mail address wwwadmin@mzv.cz The Czech Glass ad Garnet Exhibition was held at the Embassy of Czech Republic in Tokyo from April 11th to 13th The exhibition was opened by Czech Ambassador to Japan H.E reflecting on  the long tradition of Czech Glass in Japan associated with the Osaka World Expositions (EXPO) in 1970 and 2025 as well.  traditional glass products made by Czech famous glass companies including Moser were displayed as well as art pieces from contemporary Czech glass artists currently based in Japan Both artists have been working closely with the Toyama Institute of Glass Art and Tokyo University of the Arts respectively,  in order to enhance the recognition of Czech glass in Japan a variety of traditional Czech decorative glass artworks were exhibited from hand-blown sculptures to cut glass vases and contemporary glass sculptures.   Japan has long been a prominent market for top-tier Czech glass pieces The reason behind this is because Japanese people are attracted to the transparency of glass as well as captivating effects of light and shadow that seamlessly blend into the surroundings without interfering with them decades of strong appraisals for Czech glass in Japan are reflected not only in numerous exhibitions by Czech artists but also in the preference of Japanese customers to purchase Czech glass This event contributed towards raising awareness of Czech glass brands in Japan among diplomats Another significant aspect of the exhibition was the showcase of the jewelry collection from Granát Turnov company a traditional producer of the original jewellery with Czech garnets since 1953 Representatives of the company not only succeeded in introducing their products to potential customers but also engaged in a series of negotiations in regards to the possibility of collaboration with local partners as potential distributors Chairman of the Czech Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (CCCIJ) announced during the opening ceremony that the company had become a new member of the CCCIJ reinforcing their commitment to the Japanese market.  May 24, 2025 František Host & Mayumi Somekawa Duo Concert May 28, 2025 Štěpán Pácl's production of Karel Čapek's "The Mother" May 31, 2025 Bohemian Philharmonic: The 10th Anniversary Concert Jun 4, 2025 František Host & Yuya Tonouchi Duo Concert Curry's turnover didn't seem like a huge mistake at the time.

was £21m for financial year 2023 with the gross profit margin increasing to 58% (up from 50% the previous year) the FAW took advantage of rising interest rates through deliberate treasury management and dividends and the gain on the fixed asset investments Two key elements supported the delivery of FAW’s record revenue numbers: FAW grew its existing revenue streams throughout its core business.  One of the six key pillars within the Our Wales / Ein Cymru 5-year strategic plan is the provision of ‘a flexible inclusive and appealing offer’ to clubs in Wales a team of development officers were recruited during the 2023 financial year Further investment has been made in 2024 by adding a team of participation officers which provide Area Associations and players with a designated resource to help them to deliver inclusive and accessible football for all The provision of adequate infrastructure at grassroots level is another principal pillar within FAW’s strategy This not only supports the training and competition needs of players but also plays a vital role in engaging communities and inspiring future generations of athletes Cymru’s participation in the the FIFA World Cup 2022 has played a major part in enabling the FAW to support investment in modern and accessible facilities This legacy will enhance participation rates through community use improve the quality of training environments and provide opportunities for talent to flourish This investment in facilities, which is made through a newly formed charity the Cymru Football Foundation is an investment in the future of football in Wales ensuring that the sport continues to evolve and prosper on and off the field The FAW is grateful for the ongoing support of the UK Government Their continued investment has underpinned the FAW’s ability to work in partnership with local authorities and clubs to fund new facilities across Wales through the Cymru Football Foundation which has had a positive impact on those communities John Young said: “The positive results for the 22/23 financial year give the organisation a solid foundation on which to build The achievement of this record level of turnover combined with the recent news that Wales has been successful in jointly winning the bid to host UEFA EURO 2028 together with the additional hosting fees this will bring enables FAW to have more certainty about future revenues “This gives us the ability to consider some of the larger strategic investments needed to take us to the next level and become truly world-class This progressive outlook is reinforced by strong commercial and public affairs performance as well as close discipline surrounding our financial sustainability as we continue to grow the association.” The New Saints come from behind to

quieter ways to celebrate the arrival of 2025 Many municipalities have chosen to replace traditional fireworks with drones responding to concerns about noise pollution and the environment Prague City Hall has decided once again not to hold fireworks or pyrotechnic displays in the city center The decision highlights the importance of protecting animals and preserving historical sites The ban covers pyrotechnics in the city center For those seeking official fireworks displays cities and towns surrounding Prague offer alternatives and Nymburk in Central Bohemia will continue with traditional fireworks will debut a drone show with animations and music on Jan the region will feature one of the few remaining traditional fireworks shows Hradec Králové will present a musical show instead of fireworks The shift away from fireworks is most noticeable in the Karlovy Vary region where most cities stopped organizing firework displays years ago private firecracker sales by visitors from Germany have made fireworks more of a nuisance with many setting off their own displays outside the city The Pilsen region will offer a mix of fireworks with cities like Pilsen and Přeštice planning quieter versions of their usual displays towns like Jindřichův Hradec are preparing "pyromusicals"—fireworks paired with music that are gentler on the ears Strakonice will hold a traditional fireworks show several towns are resuming fireworks after a break the displays will be more modest than in previous years The Pardubice region will feature quieter pyrotechnics in towns like Chrudim and Ústí nad Orlicí while Přelouč will continue its traditional fireworks only Znojmo and Břeclav will host fireworks New Year's fireworks will be extended by five minutes with part of the display using silent pyrotechnics for the first time Karviná and Nový Jičín will host traditional fireworks Publication date 09 December 2016 | 07:42 ICT The royal sword was also lost during the Lon Nol period A Czech jewellry designer hopes she has minted a new crown for the King and is digging into the story of Cambodia's missing royal regalia along the way Victoria Beldova was a student at Prague’s Academy of Arts Architecture and Design when she decided she would make a new crown for the Cambodian king The 27-year-old artist saw the design as a continuation of her family legacy Beldova is descended from a long line of jewellery makers charged with guarding the crown jewels of the Bohemian monarchy Her father and grandfather come from the small town of Turnov and made official replicas for the Czech government on three separate occasions and one friend wanted to know who I’d make the crown for,” she says Beldova’s friend suggested she make the crown for someone who had once lived in the Czech Republic: King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia who was sent to study in Prague at the age of nine Beldova learned that Sihamoni had been sworn in without a crown after Lon Nol took power in a coup against then-Prime Minister Norodom Sihanouk The last time the crown was worn was during Sihanouk’s first coronation Jeldres has tried to get to the bottom of the jewels’ disappearance Some items of the royal regalia have been reproduced and are used sometimes at the ceremonies in the Royal Palace but they do not have the same value of the ancient ones that were stolen,” he explains the crown jewels were stolen during [the] Lon Nol period and dismantled with the stones sold individually,” he says The original crown – known as Preah Maha Mokot Reach the Great Crown of Victory – was a multi-tiered cone-shaped cap made of solid gold and precious gems meant to symbolise the sacred mountain Mount Meru It was passed down from king to king from the time of the Khmer empire King Norodom wears the lost crown in this 1866 photograph taken by John Thomson it landed in the temporary possession of Thai rulers during the 19th century When the French established a protectorate over Cambodia in 1863 the Siamese ruler kept the royal regalia in Bangkok to symbolise his role as Cambodia’s suzerain Images of the crown can still be found in bas reliefs in the Angkor Wat temple complex just before the monarchy was reinstated and the late King Father Norodom Sihanouk “crowned” for the second time he sent a telegram to Prime Ministers Norodom Ranariddh and Hun Sen from China He asked that the government not make a new crown so that the money could be better spent meeting the needs of the Cambodian people And so neither he nor his son would wear a crown When Beldova returned from her first visit to Cambodia she contacted the Czech Embassy in Bangkok for assistance getting in touch with the Cambodian royal family knew of Beldova’s father’s reputation in Turnov “She told me she wouldn’t have replied to my email if she hadn’t known Turnov and my father’s name,” Beldova says and she tried to send a few letters to the Royal Palace.” But just as Beldova was about to give up hope Gasparikova was invited to a banquet at the Royal Palace where she was given the details of someone who claimed to be the King’s cousin Beldova began a correspondence with the man “His daughter is my age and she wants to study in the Czech Republic so there were lots of coincidences,” Beldova says “He wrote to me and asked if I could come [to Phnom Penh].” In April 2015 Beldova got on a plane to Cambodia for the second time and met the man every day to discuss the design She didn’t know if her efforts would reach the King the man – a historian – asked that his name and family history not be revealed When pressed on the specifics of his heritage It could not be verified if the man is related to King Sihamoni though Jeldres said his surname does not match that of the King’s cousins Beldova’s modern design has Cambodian inspiration Beldova says the man was extremely helpful during her visit and that he shared insights into Khmer symbolism He recommended that she look at archives of coronation celebrations from the 19th and 20th centuries for inspiration Beldova began to change the designs once more I wanted to do something more traditional for Cambodia but then I thought it would be better to do it my way so that it doesn’t look like a copy of something,” she says Beldova has eschewed traditional depictions of Khmer legends choosing a simple design with gold leaves emerging from the crown’s band The final product is a European-style crown inspired by the landscapes and nature of Cambodia “I used stuff that was stuck in my head after I came back: the temple of Angkor Wat Beldova says she would still like to give the crown to the King but she doesn’t have much hope that her designs will catch his attention She’s been trying to contact him for two years without success The crown will reach a different audience: her exhibition of the designs will open in Prague this month there is stuff that inspires you to do something,” she says “I wanted to use my Cambodian experience to do something more.”
