Praha je hlavní a současně největší město České republiky. Leží mírně na sever od středuČech na řece Vltavě, uvnitř Středočeského kraje, jehož je správním centrem, ale jako samostatný kraj není jeho součástí. Je sídlem velké části státních institucí a množství dalších organizací a firem. Sídlí zde prezident republiky, vláda, ústřední státní orgány aVrchní soud. Mimoto je Praha sídlem řady dalších úřadů, jak ústředních, tak i územních samosprávných celků; sídlí zde též ústředí většiny politických stran a centrály téměř všech církví, náboženských a dalších sdružení s celorepublikovou působností registrovaných v ČR.

Do dnešní podoby se Praha vyvíjela jedenáct století. Coby historická metropole Čech byla v minulosti sídelním městem českých knížat a králů, římsko-německých císařů a hlavním městem Československa. V současnosti se rozkládá na území 496 čtverečních kilometrů a má 1,249.026 obyvatel^[3]. Pražská metropolitní oblast měla v roce 2004 (podle Eurostatu) 1 964 750 obyvatel.^[4]

Praha je všeobecně považována za jedno z nejkrásnějších měst v Evropě.^[5] Historické centrum města s jedinečným panoramatem Pražského hradu, největšího hradního komplexu na světě,^[6] je památkovou rezervací UNESCO. Právě historické jádro města a mnohé památky přilákají ročně miliony turistů ze zemí celého světa, což činí Prahu jedním z nejnavštěvovanějších měst Evropy.

The Supergirl Jam

2009-09-03T11:50:00.000-07:00

On September 6, the top female action sports athletes in snowboarding and inline skating will join their skateboarding counterparts in Venice Beach, CA, for the final stop in the 2009 Supergirl Jam event series. The Supergirl Jam is the action sports industry’s only large-scale, all-girls competition and lifestyle festival designed to promote female empowerment, strength, independence and leadership. The top athletes in skateboarding, snowboarding and inline will be competing for their share of the $36,000 total prize purse and the Supergirl Jam title in their respective sports.

The Supergirl Jam street skateboarding competition will also be held on September 6 in Venice Beach. Pro skateboard street competitors include 2008 X-Games Champion Elissa Steamer (Ft. Myers, FL), Amy Caron (Huntington Beach, Calif.), Vanessa Torres (Orange County, Calif.), Lyn-z Adams Hawkins (Cardiff-by-the-sea, Calif.), Lacey Baker (Covina, Calif.), and Supergirl Pro-Am Jam gold medalist Leticia Bufoni (Sao Paulo, Brazil). Abby Zsarnay (Santa Paula, Calif.) will also compete in the event, having placed as the top amateur in the Supergirl Pro-Am Jam held on August 19 at Woodward West.

Lauren Perkins (Huntington Beach, Calif.) who took home the Supergirl Jam Skateboard Street title in last year’s event is sidelined this year, recovering from recent knee surgery, but she will be on-hand to support her fellow competitors. The competition will be tight with Bufoni, who took top prize in this year’s Supergirl Pro-Am Jam, trying to make it two wins in a row to sweep the Supergirl Jam skateboard events this year.

The Supergirl Jam series consisted of three stops this year – the Association of Surfing Professionals Grade-4 Supergirl Pro Junior contest that took place on August 15 & 16 in Oceanside, Calif.; the Supergirl Pro-Am Jam Skateboard Street competition that took place at Woodward West in Tehachapi, Calif., on August 19; and the Supergirl Jam finale at Venice Beach coming up on September 6 beginning at 11 a.m.

All of the day’s competitive action, and event highlights from the Supergirl Pro Junior and Supergirl Pro-Am Jam will be streamed LIVE on GO211.com and TheWB.com, the official online destination for the 2009 Supergirl Jam events and competitions.

Programming featuring all three stops in the Supergirl Jam event series will be televised this fall on networks to include CBS Sports, FUEL TV and Fox Sports Net.

Hope to see you there!

BRAZILIAN RAPPER MV BILL VISIT L.A

2009-06-08T10:58:00.001-07:00

Considered one of Brazil’s most controversial rappers, MV Bill will visit J.U.i.C.E.

- Hip Hop Youth Center in Los Angeles, on Sunday, June 14, 2009

He is arriving in the United States through a cultural exchange program coordinated by the International Visitors Council of Los Angeles (IVCLA) and during his stay in the Los Angeles, he will meet with fellow artists as well as organizations like J.U.i.C.E. (Justice by Uniting in Creative Energy) to discuss their approach to social services to at-risk urban youth.

MV Bill was born in the City of God, in the Western part of Rio de Janeiro, where he still lives today. The City of God is one of Rio’s poorest and roughest areas. He is a highly respected member of his community and media figure. Using rap music, he is well-known for chronicling the ongoing war in the favelas – the infamous ghettos of Brazil. Today, in addition to being a rapper and documentary filmmaker, MV Bill is one of the Brazil’s most important activists. Appointed a Citizen of the World by the UN in 2004, MV Bill’s social-artistic work has been officially recognized by the Brazilian government and by UNICEF.

SEBASTIÃO SALGADO

“one of the world’s most celebrated documentary photographers” and “his...images...have cult status among photography lovers.”—New York Times

Traveling constantly across Africa, Latin America, and Asia, Sebastião Salgado has documented the human toll of violence and migration in visually stunning photographs of manual laborers, refugees, and sprawling metropolises. The 2001 documentary Salgado: The Spectre of Hope chronicled the creation of his series of photographs, published as Migrations: Humanity in Transition. In 1998 he established the Instituto Terra with his wife to restore biodiversity to the Atlantic Forest in Brazil, encourage sustainable development, and conduct research and environmental education. He has been honored with the Hasselblad Award, Photographer of the Year by the International Center for Photography, and an honorary doctorate from the New School.
