  • Famous People from Czech Republic
    2018 R MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Tennessee Academic Standards 2018 EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Celebrates the Czech Republic in 2018 Celebrating the Czech Republic is the year-long focus of the 2018 Memphis in May International Festival. The Czech Republic is the twelfth European country to be honored in the festival’s history, and its selection by Memphis in May International Festival coincides with their celebration of 100 years as an independent nation, beginning as Czechoslovakia in 1918. The Czech Republic is a nation with 10 million inhabitants, situated in the middle of Europe, with Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Poland as its neighbors. Known for its rich historical and cultural heritage, more than a thousand years of Czech history has produced over 2,000 castles, chateaux, and fortresses. The country resonates with beautiful landscapes, including a chain of mountains on the border, deep forests, refreshing lakes, as well as architectural and urban masterpieces. Its capital city of Prague is known for stunning architecture and welcoming people, and is the fifth most- visited city in Europe as a result. The late twentieth century saw the Czech Republic rise as one of the youngest and strongest members of today’s European Union and NATO. Interestingly, the Czech Republic is known for peaceful transitions; from the Velvet Revolution in which they left Communism behind in 1989, to the Velvet Divorce in which they parted ways with Slovakia in 1993. Boasting the lowest unemployment rate in the European Union, the Czech Republic’s stable economy is supported by robust exports, chiefly in the automotive and technology sectors, with close economic ties to Germany and their former countrymen in Slovakia.

  • Harbor and Europe
    Titel: Harbor and Europe Duration: 4‘00‘‘ Insert: Author: Jörg Hertle Camera: Hans Duivenvoorden Cut: Birgitt Schellbach Bauchbinden: 01´10“ Gerhard Thellmann - Hafenmeister 01´56“ Erich Ammon - Container Depot Nürnberg Content: There is this old saying that is no longer a joke: „In Hamburg they say ship ahoy – in Nuremberg they say ahoy ship!“ Regardless of whether you deem that funny, the Nuremberg harbor is economically important for the region of Nuremberg: All in all, about 5,300 people work there in 260 different companies. Many of them operate, far beyond the Franconian borders, on a European stage. Text: Instead of a romantic breeze you can perceive an international breeze blowing through the basins and wharves of the Nuremberg harbor. Here, three traffic routes Europe meet, railway, motorway and waterway. What began, more than three decades ago, as a wharf for a couple of inland ships mostly from Holland, has in the meantime become a modern reloading point for goods. Here at the Main-Danube channel, 9.2 m tons of goods are reloaded and confirmed by the harbormasters every year. Gerhard Thellmann and Wolfgang Popp are gauging a Slovakian cargo ship. The two harbormasters are checking the waterline before and after unloading the goods. 00´51“ Quote Thellmann „233.“ 00´54“ With the measurements, the harbormasters can calculate the exact amount of tons of artificial fertilizer that were unloaded from the cargo ship from Bratislava. They realized that recently more goods have gone through the Nuremberg harbor. 01´09“ Quote Thellmann “This comes from the Danube, that is to say from Bratislava.

  • A Century of Czech Tramping 19 FOLKLORICA 2011, Vol. XVI ARTICLES a Century of Czech Tramping Jan Pohunek Institute of Ethnology
    A Century of Czech tramping 19 ARTICLES A Century of Czech tramping Jan Pohunek Institute of Ethnology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article describes the history and major characteristics of an independent Czech youth movement called “tramping”. The movement originated in the 1910s-1920s as an unorganized offshoot of boy scouting and E. T. Seton’s Woodcraft and quickly became popular among urban teens and young adults. It was simply a way of spending time outdoors with friends at first, heavily influenced by early western movies and Wild West aesthetics in general, but became a distinctive subculture and cultural phenomenon during the following decades. Some of its unique aspects include specific music, slang, art and dress code. Czech tramping is also an interesting example of an early youth subculture, which is comparable to post-WW2 subcultures and which survived into the present day although its participants were often persecuted, especially under the communist regime. Another topic discussed is the fact that the movement kept its independence even under political pressure, rejected all attempts to organize it hierarchically and while it sometimes had a dimension of a protest culture in the 20th century, it can be considered to be apolitical in general. It is now almost a hundred years since an interesting modern folk cultural phenomenon began to establish itself in Bohemia. ‘Tramping’ (1), as it is called nowadays, can be described as an unorganized youth movement, or a subculture, that is heavily inspired by the romantic image of the American Wild West and that manifests itself mostly through outdoor social activities such as hiking or camping, accompanied by specific styles of music, slang, architecture, art and clothing.

  • Bravo Zero: the Coast Guard Auxiliary in World War II by C. Kay Larson National Historian United States Coast Guard Auxiliary
    Bravo Zero: The Coast Guard Auxiliary in World War II By C. Kay Larson National Historian United States Coast Guard Auxiliary In the Beginning. In Spirit of the Times's 1901 history of American yachting, the author surveyed the activities of prominent yacht clubs around the country. According to the popular sporting magazine, the members of the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Club on Long Island--the home club of the Roosevelt family--were the first to promote of the idea of an American naval militia. Local boosterism aside, club members needed only to have read British yachting history to know that in England yachtsmen and the Royal Navy had had a close relationship going back to the Napoleonic Wars. At the time royal yacht club squadrons frequently participated in maneuvers with the navy. During the American Civil War, private American yachts were loaned or leased to the U.S. Navy. The New York Yacht Club's famous racing schooner, Henrietta, was loaned and commanded by its owner, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., son of the owner of the New York Herald. During World War I, the U.S. Naval Reserve organized yacht clubs like “The Boston” “into submarine watches to ease fear along the coast and raise morale by giving everyone a greater piece of the action.” The BYC also formed a volunteer harbor patrol, although it soon disbanded due to cessation of hostilities. The 1916 naval reserve act provided for enrollment of civilian boats and crews “suitable for naval purposes in the naval defense of the coast.” 1. Given this history it is not surprising that during the 1930s, American boaters and yachtsmen began to press the U.S.

    0521847680pre_pi-xvi.qxd 1/11/06 3:32 PM Page i sushil Quark11:Desktop Folder: An Introduction to Language and Linguistics This accessible new textbook is the only introduction to linguistics in which each chapter is written by an expert who teaches courses on that topic, ensuring balanced and uniformly excellent coverage of the full range of modern linguistics. Assuming no prior knowledge, the text offers a clear introduction to the traditional topics of structural linguistics (theories of sound, form, meaning, and language change), and in addition provides full coverage of contextual linguistics, including separate chapters on discourse, dialect variation, language and culture, and the politics of language. There are also up-to-date separate chapters on language and the brain, computational linguistics, writing, child language acquisition, and second language learning. The breadth of the textbook makes it ideal for introductory courses on language and linguistics offered by departments of English, sociology, anthropology, and communications, as well as by linguistics departments.

Milos Forman Ingenious Czech-American Jan Tomas Forman (his formal name) was born in Caslavi on Febuary 18th, 1932.Both of his parents (Jewish father and protestant mother) died in Auschwitz concentration camp when he was just a little boy. What was the reason? His father belonged to the Czech Resistance group and his mother was dealing with an illegal grocery trade. The rest of his childhood/adulthood spent Forman living with his distant relatives as well as at the dorms of Podebrady’s public school. There he also met young Vaclav Havel (1st president of the Czech Republic) and Masin brothers ( who later started an armed anti-Communist resistance). After finishing high school he tried to get into the the University of Acting (DAMU) in Prague but without success. His second choice was the University of Film (FAMU), also located in Prague, and this time was Forman accepted. He graduated in 1968. His first major movie became the black-humored comedy “Cerny Petr” (Black Peter; 1963), which was followed by another debut “Loves of a Blond” (Lasky jedne plavovlasky; 1965).
