Facial recognition software has helped recreate the faces of Czech royals who died more than a thousand years ago. Researchers used radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis to identify the remains of Duke Spytihněv I and his brother, Vratislav, who died within a few years of each other in the early 10th century. The team scanned the dukes’ skulls in minute details and incorporated information about their diet, health, and mobility to render their three-dimensional likenesses. A digital result was created of each man, showing each with blue eyes and reddish-brown hair – all of which were determined through DNA analysis. The brothers were from the House of Přemyslid, a Czech dynasty which reigned from the 9th century to the start of the 14th century, controlling Bohemia, Moravia, Poland, Hungary, and Austria. They’re considered important figures in Czech history, the sons of the first Přemyslid ruler, Bořivoj I and his wife, St. Ludmila. Ruling from 894 AD until his death in 915 AD, Spytihněv I founded Prague Castle and formed important alliances to fend off invasion by the Magyars of Hungary. Vratislav I, his younger brother, took over after Spytihněv’s death and was also the father of King Wenceslas, the patron...

The Netflix production The Gray Man is due to shoot in Prague and other Czech locations this spring. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, The Gray Man boasts a star-studded cast headlined by Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling. Joe Russo wrote the script, based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Mark Greaney, and the script was also given a polish by regular Russo collaborators Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who are co-presidents of story at AGBO and the writers on “Avengers: Endgame” and “Avengers: Infinity Wars.” The Gray Man has just begun filming in Los Angeles, with the L.A. shoot expected to run through the end of April. The action-thriller is a deadly duel between killers as Gentry (Gosling) is hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Evans), a former cohort of Gentry’s at the CIA. The Gray Man turned into a bestselling book series, and the expectation is that Gosling will continue in multiple installments. “The movie is a real mano-a-mano between those two great actors who represent two different versions of the CIA, in what it can be, and what it can do,” Anthony Russo told Deadline. “For those who were fans of Captain America: Winter Soldier, this...
On Saturday, a live broadcast from Prague Castle, filmed by Czech guides for viewers abroad, escalated into watching an agile man who decided to climb to the main entrance gate of the castle. The man scaled the Gate of the Giants, which was guarded by soldiers, and jumped right into the courtyard. “Why is the gate closed?” The man shouted before deciding to follow through with this stunt. Jan Pechač from the lucytours.com agency was giving a private virtual tour of the castle and recorded footage of the incident. According to Pechač, the soldiers immediately urged him to get down. However, he decided to climb right up and approach them in the courtyard, where he was detained. “It happened at a time when we were broadcasting for clients from Canada and doing an hour-long private virtual tour for them,” Jan Pechač told Blesk.cz. TV Nova also obtained a statement from a spokesman for the Castle Guard named Jiří Havel. Havel confirmed that the incident did take place on Saturday shortly before half-past four in the afternoon. “A middle-aged man approached the Giants’ Gate, who then began to climb the pillar to one of the statues. He was asked by the...
The Palestinian Authority and the Arab League on Saturday (13 March) condemned the Czech Republic’s opening of a diplomatic office in Jerusalem as a violation of international law. Prague opened a Jerusalem branch of its Israel embassy, which is located in Tel Aviv, on Thursday. The inauguration was attended by Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis, two weeks after Israel sent 5,000 Moderna COVID-19 vaccine doses to the Czech Republic under a “vaccine diplomacy” program that later came under legal scrutiny and was frozen. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry called Prague’s move “a blatant attack on the Palestinian people and their rights, a flagrant violation of international law,” and said it would harm peace prospects. In Cairo, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a statement: “The legal status of Jerusalem will be affected by the decision of one country or another to open representative offices. East Jerusalem is an occupied land under the International law.” Jerusalem’s status is one of the thorniest issues in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel annexed the eastern part of the city in a move not recognized internationally, and regards all of Jerusalem as its capital. Underlining that the Jerusalem office was not an embassy, the...
The leaders of Austria, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Latvia, and Bulgaria are calling for talks among European Union leaders about the distribution of vaccines within the 27-nation bloc. Austrian media reported Saturday that the five leaders wrote a joint letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel. That came after Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz complained on Friday that, even though the EU had agreed on the distribution of the vaccines on a per-capita basis, some countries were receiving considerably more than others. The letter asserted that “if this system were to carry on, it would continue creating and exacerbating huge disparities among Member States by this summer.” Officials elsewhere have noted that countries have wanted differing amounts of various vaccines and have not always taken up their full allocation. Austria’s health ministry – which is run by Kurz´s junior coalition partner – was among those rejecting Kurz´s criticism. Oe1 radio reported that its general secretary, Ines Stilling, said negotiations on distributing the vaccines had been “balanced and transparent.”
At the end of March, the Czech government campaign will launch on television to support vaccination against covid-19, said Vladimír Vořechovský, head of the government’s communications department. A few days ago, Vořechovský signed a contract worth CZK 4 million for the preparation of the campaign, while another CZK 50 million will be spent by the Ministry of Health to purchase media spaces. “Preparations for the campaign are in full swing, and a key TV spot will be filmed on March 22, which will be presented to the public by the end of March,” Vořechovský told Novinky. The TV clip should include personalities who have been “hit by the crisis”. The Ministry of Health will buy media space on television and other communication platforms for CZK 50 million. Based on the filmed TV spot, which will launch the campaign at the end of March, other visuals will be created, for example for advertising in newspapers. The campaign should also include sample solutions for social networks or recommendations on how to work with influencers. Latest statistics The health ministry recorded 14,920 new COVID-19 infections on Friday, 1,750 more than a week ago. The reproduction number increased slightly from 0.91 to 0.94. The...
Croatia is ready to take in about ten COVID patents from the Czech Republic and Slovakia each, Prime Minister Andrej Plenković tweeted on Tuesday after his telephone conversation with his counterparts Andrej Babiš and Igor Matovič. “I have conveyed Croatia’s readiness to hospitalize about ten COVID-19 patients each from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, if necessary, taking into consideration the fact that their respective health systems are under strain,” Plenković wrote on his Twitter account. Croatia is showing its solidarity with EU member-states in the struggle against COVID-19, he underscored. The Czech Republic, which has been one of the hardest-hit countries in the world by the COVID epidemic recently, has asked Germany, Switzerland, and Poland to take in dozens of COVID-19 patients as the situation in its own hospitals has reached a critical point. Slovakia has already transferred some of its patients abroad this week. Poland and Germany each have said that they can hospitalise ten patients from that country.
There are several studies that claim that 1000 most used words in a foreign language help you understand 75% of common communication. Czech-based Flashcard app Vocabulary Miner asked 181 language lecturers whether they think it is true. It was all inspired by the 2013 British Council 1000 words campaign motivated Britons to learn 1000 words in a foreign language. According to British Council study, lack of knowledge of foreign languages opens up a social divide that a second language can bridge. Professor Webb, who studied language learning at the University of Western Ontario also suggests in the BBC article that “the most effective way to be able to speak a language quickly is to pick the 800 to 1,000 lemmas which appear most frequently in a language, and learn those”. Lecturers and teachers of foreign languages say “YES but…” Inspired by the British Council, Vocabulary Miner – the app that created unique expat Word lists, now designed word lists with 1000 most common words in combinations of Czech, English, French, Spanish and Slovak. The team behind Vocabulary Miner was curious whether the method of 1000 Word lists is approved by lecturers themselves. Vocabulary Miner asked 181 lecturers of foreign...
AstraZeneca cut its supply forecast of Covid-19 vaccine to the European Union in the first quarter to about 30 million doses, a third of its contractual obligations, and a 25 per cent drop from pledges made last month, a document seen by Reuters shows. On Feb. 25, AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot told the European Parliament that the company would try to deliver 40 million doses by the end of March. The document shows that on Feb. 24, the Anglo-Swedish company had estimated a supply of only 34 million doses to the EU for the January to March period, well below its contracted target of 90 million doses. The new cut follows a decision last week by Italy and the European Commission to block a shipment of AstraZeneca vaccines from Italy to Australia, in the first application of an EU mechanism that allows the bloc to refuse export requests from vaccine makers that do not comply with EU supply contracts. AstraZeneca has committed to making its “best reasonable efforts” to meet the targets set in its contract with the EU, which foresees delivery of 300 million doses from December to the end of June. The vaccine was approved for use in...
The Prague City Hall will buy a plot of land in Troja (Prague 8), necessary for the construction of a new water sports park. The park will be designed for both professional athletes and general public. It will feature a tribune for 1,500 spectators, and an equipment rental facility (canoes, kayaks, paddles, life jackets, wetsuits). The length of the new water slalom track will be about 270 m. The Vltava River is perfect and flows against a beautiful backdrop, whereas the Troja Cana is inundated with water all year round and is perfect for water sports. The park will be designed primarily for sports training in water slalom, rafting, and kayaking. However, it will also be possible to host world championships or world cup races. According to earlier information, costs are expected to rise to around CZK 150 million. It is not yet clear when the complex will be built. Water sports are a big part of the attraction of Prague, especially in the summer months. There are numerous places in the city of Prague like rivers, lakes, water dams, and artificial water reservoirs, all of which offer superb opportunities for all kinds of water recreational sports.
