But I hope, as I write this, that you’re all well, and coping with the oddest and scariest year many of us have ever experienced. I also hope that several of the most-used ‘new’ sayings will shortly never be needed again – as in “These strange/difficult/unusual (delete where applicable) times”, “Social distancing”, “Self-isolating”, and so on. I never thought I’d become obsessed with supermarket deliveries either – how sad is that? But we soon became one of “those couples” playing a board game to stay awake past midnight, in order to secure one of the very valuable delivery slots. A good idea in theory, except Mildred Hubble (Millie) our very helpful black cat, thought it hugely entertaining to sit in the middle of the table and bat all the game tiles onto the floor.

Historical and National Background of Slovak Filmmaking
An article from: Martin Votruba, ed. KinoKultura, Special Issue 3: Slovak Cinema, December 2005. ISSN 478-6567 Slovak Studies Program, University of Pittsburgh votruba “at” pitt “dot” edu http://www.pitt.edu/~votruba Historical and National Background of Slovak Filmmaking Martin Votruba While the United States is usually seen as a new country and the European countries as ancient ones, the emergence and demise of countries and border shifts have been much more widespread, dramatic, and consequential in Central Europe, as well as in the rest of the continent, in the past century than anything in American experience during the same period. In extreme instances, by the time a person was eighty, he or she could have been a citizen of up to eight countries without ever leaving his or her hometown. Slovakia in Europe, Real and Symbolic Geography A major concept and understanding that has been absent in almost all writing about Central Europe in English is the term “Central Europe” itself. It is sometimes taken to be an old German invention designed to justify the expansionist concept of Lebensraum, or it is discussed as an invention of Czech émigré author Milan Kundera, especially in his essay “The Tragedy of Central Europe.”1 Yet, a character in the German film The Edukators (Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei; dir. Heinz Weingartner, 2004) says at one point, quite matter-of-factly, “here in Central Europe.” It is revealing that the English subtitles translated it merely as “here in Europe” for American audiences. Stripped of any Kundera-esque connotations, Central Europe has long been a simple geographic concept, like the Midwest in the United States.

Stone in Historical Architecture in Slovakia Martin Bednarika*, Rudolf Holzer, Rudolf Tornyai Comenius University in Bratislava, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Dept
20 21st International Conference ENGINEERING MECHANICS 2015 Svratka, Czech Republic, May 11 –14, 2015 Paper #105, pp. 20–21 Stone in Historical Architecture in Slovakia Martin Bednarika*, Rudolf Holzer, Rudolf Tornyai Comenius University in Bratislava, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Dept. of Engineering Geology, Mlynská dolina; 842 15, Bratislava; SK [email protected] Keywords: Leitha limestone, travertine, volcanites, physical and mechanical properties Abstract: Most of the historical monuments and buildings in Slovakia are built of natural, generous stone. The use of natural rock material in the area of the Western Carpathians is always bound on specifics of the regional - geological development of Slovakia. Different rock formation conditions and subsequent geological evolution caused considerable regional differentiation of rock masses. Major faulting of rocks during the folded-fault tectonics caused rather poor deposits on building and decorative stone in Slovakia. The rock masses of Western Carpathians provide stones which are of different natural and technical characteristics and different manner of utilization. Introduction The aim of this paper is to give an overview of most used rocks with the examples of their application on historical monuments of Slovakia. Another part of the contribution is to demonstrate petrophysical and material-technical characteristics of selected types of mentioned rocks. Rocks used in various forms of building and decoration stone can be divided into 5 basic groups: A. Consolidated clastic (granular) sediments – sandstone, conglomerate, breccia, quartzite, arkose, graywacke. B. Carbonate rocks - travertine, limestone, marble. C. Effusive volcanic rocks – rhyolite, andesite, basalt, quartz porphyre, melaphyre, diabase and their tuffs. D. Intrusive rocks - granites, granodiorites, diorites, syenites, gabbros.
