October 26: Thurston Moore Group at Lucerna Music Bar

Alternative rock once ruled the music halls and radio-waves, but that was ages (certainly decades) ago. Among the most influential groups in alt/indie rock, Sonic Youth ended as a band in 2011, and it was a tabloid affair for indie rockers’ media sphere, since they had been the foremost alt-rock band in the States for two decades, led by Thurston Moore and his wife Kim Gordon with Lee Renaldo since 1981. However, Thurston Moore has had his own group since then carrying on the torch as a sonic rocker and experimenter continually expanding his horizons, but not at all with the attitude of “no looking back.” His current tour is for their most recent album “Spirit Council” an artistic tour de force in his wide discography. It is a collection of three exceptionally-long instrumental compositions recorded between 2018-19 representing a period of his life reflecting on spiritual matters, collective musical friendships, and overall, a meditative sonic exploration—a deeply reflective effort both compelling and explosive. Just as Bob Dylan dissected his failed relationship in one of his best albums “Blood on the Tracks,” Moore’s “Spirit Council” could be acknowledged as a similar gesture, but in epic instrumental tracks. After all, Sonic...

Bouldering in Prague: Why You Should Try It

If we are thinking about what we can do for living a healthier lifestyle the first expected change should obviously occur to our food habits and thereafter naturally the second most important element is to add some activity to our daily schedule. As I am not a big fan of classic gyms, I always try to combine fun with a great workout at the same time. That’s why I look for an activity I can easily do both alone, or with a group of friends. Recently my friends dragged me into a bouldering studio. Climbing in the studio always looked to be fun and very easy activity. I was sure I could do it without any problems. But the opposite was the truth. Climbing is a 100% full-body workout. As you might think you work just your upper body, you actually putting in stress also your lower body, legs, shoulders, arms and of course your back. While you are making a great workout, you easily burn around 700 calories just by one session. But be prepared, climbing without proper muscle preparation can be challenging. I highly recommend getting into the shape before you kick off your climbing seasons. Build slowly strength...

Záchranka is Rescuing Czech Emergency Service Calls From Outdated Technology

The only European emergency medical service (EMS) mobile app Záchranka reached 1 million downloads in July 2019 after three years of saving lives by locating people in case of an accident or emergency. The Záchranka EMS app, financially supported by the Vodafone Foundation, provides emergency services with the most accurate GPS location and all the data phones have about users of the app to help dispatchers and other EMS workers to find and save injured people quicker. The number of calls from this app has reached over 30,000 with 50 calls received every day. How does the software work? After you press the app’s emergency button, the app connects you directly to the emergency rescue services and also sends an emergency message with your exact location and other information. If you use the app to call 155 in the mountains, the app will recognise this based on your GPS coordinates and will also send an emergency message to the nearest Mountain Rescue service in that area. Besides sending your location and connecting you to EMS dispatcher, the Záchranka app can also serve as an encyclopedia in which you can find the first-aid manual and the map to see the nearest...
