Prague Castle (Pražský hrad)
Prague Castle (Czech: Pražský hrad) is the official residence and office of the President of the Czech Republic. Located in the Hradčany district of Prague and dating back to the ninth century, the castle has been a seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside it.
The Guinness Book of Records lists Prague Castle as the largest ancient castle in the world. It occupies an area of almost 70,000 m2, at about 570 meters in length and an average of about 130 meters wide.
The history of the castle stretches back to the year 870 with the construction of its first walled building, the Church of the Virgin Mary. The Basilica of Saint George and the Basilica of St. Vitus were founded under the reign of Vratislav and his son St. Wenceslas in the first half of the 10th century.
The first convent in Bohemia was founded in the castle, next to the church of St. George. A Romanesque palace was erected here during the 12th century. In the 14th century, under the reign of Charles IV the royal palace was rebuilt in Gothic style and the castle fortifications were strengthened. In place of rotunda and basilica of St. Vitus began building of a vast Gothic church, that have been completed almost six centuries later.
During the Hussite Wars and the following decades, the castle was not inhabited. In 1485, King Ladislaus II Jagello began to rebuild the castle. The massive Vladislav Hall (built by Benedikt Rejt) was added to the Royal Palace. New defence towers were also built on the north side of the castle.
A large fire in 1541 destroyed large parts of the castle. Under the Habsburgs, some new buildings in renaissance style were added. Ferdinand I built Belvedere as a summer palace for his wife Anne. Rudolph II used Prague Castle as his main residence. He founded the northern wing of the palace, with the Spanish Hall, where his precious art collections were exhibited.
The Second Prague defenestration in 1618 began the Bohemian Revolt. During the subsequent wars, the Castle was damaged and dilapidated. Many works from the collection of Rudolph II were looted by Swedes in 1648, in the Battle of Prague (1648) which was the final act of the Thirty Years' War.
The last major rebuilding of the castle was carried out by Empress Maria Theresa in the second half of the 18th century. Following his abdication in 1848, and the succession of his nephew, Franz Joseph, to the throne, the former emperor, Ferdinand I, made Prague Castle his home.
In 1918, the castle became the seat of the president of the new Czechoslovak Republic T.G. Masaryk. The New Royal Palace and the gardens were renovated by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik. In this period the St Vitus Cathedral was finished (on September 28, in 1929). Renovations continued in 1936 under Plečnik's successor Pavel Janák.
On March 15, 1939, shortly after the Nazi regime strong-armed former Czech President Emil Hacha (who suffered a heart-attack during the negotiations) to hand his nation over to the Germans, Adolf Hitler spent a night in the Prague Castle, "proudly surveying his new possession." During the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia in World War II, Prague Castle became the headquarters of Reinhard Heydrich, the "Reich Protector of Bohemia and Moravia". He was said to have placed the Bohemian crown on his head; old legends say a usurper who places the crown on his head is doomed to die within a year. Less than a year after assuming power, on May 27, 1942, Heydrich was attacked by British-trained Czech soldiers while on his way to the Castle, and died of his wounds (which became infected) a week later.
After the liberation of Czechoslovakia, it housed the offices of the communist Czechoslovak government. During the Velvet Revolution, Alexander Dubček, the leader of Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring, appeared on a balcony overlooking Wenceslas Square to hear throngs of protesters below shouting "Dubček to the Castle!" As they pushed for him to take his seat as president of the country at Prague Castle, he embraced the crowd as a symbol of democratic freedom.
After Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the castle became the seat of the Head of State of the new Czech Republic. Similar to what Masaryk did with Plečnik, president Václav Havel commissioned Bořek Šípek to be the architect of post-communism Prague Castle's necessary improvements, in particular of the facelift of the castle's gallery of paintings.
Architectural styles of Prague Castle
The castle buildings represent virtually every architectural style of the last millennium. Prague Castle includes Gothic St Vitus Cathedral, Romanesque Basilica of St. George, a monastery and several palaces, gardens and defense towers. Most of the castle areas are open to tourists. Nowadays, the castle houses several museums, including the National Gallery collection of Bohemian baroque and mannerism art, exhibition dedicated to Czech history, Toy Museum and the picture gallery of Prague Castle, based on the collection of Rudolph II. The Summer Shakespeare Festival regularly takes place in the courtyard of Burgrave Palace.
The neighborhood around Prague Castle is called Hradčany.

Online users who have received email messages like the one below from a so-called Mrs. Theresa Heidi who wants to donate her so-called inheritance to them, should delete the same messages. This is because the messages are phishing scams. Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into sending them their personal information and money.
The scammers, pretending to be Mrs. Theresa Heidi, trick their potential victims into sending them their information by claiming they will receive her inheritance or donation. Once the scammers have gotten their potential victims information, they will subsequently contact them and ask them to send money in order to claim their donation. But, if the potential victims send their money, the scammers will collect it and disappear.
I am happy to know you, but God knows you better and he knows why he has directed me to you at this point, so do not be afraid. I prayed and I came across your data via a private search. I am writing this mail to you with heavy sorrow in my heart, this massage mighty come to you as surprise but i chose to reach you through internet because it still remains the fastest medium of communication through this medium internet has been greatly abused.Please give me this little chance to explain myself to you, I would have like to meet you face to face before departing from this mother earth but due to the illness continue to deprive the chance but even if I die on the process of this operation I will still praise my God ALMIGHTY.
My name is Mrs Theresa Heidi I am a dying woman and i decided to donate what I have to you for charity work/assistance to less privileged people in the society. I am 50 years old and I was diagnosed of cancer for about 4 years ago, immediately after the death of my husband, who has left me everything he worked for and because my doctor told me that i would not last for the period of one year due to cancer problem. Because of my health, I have some funds I inherited from my late husband, the sum of (6.5 Million Dollars) and I needed a very honest and God fearing person who can withdraw this money then use the funds for Charity works.
After honest prayers asking the LORD to bring me a helper and i decided to contact you if you may be willing and interested to handle these trust funds in good faith before anything happens to me. I want a good person who will use the money to work for Gods charity homes and I have chosen you after going through your profile. I want this money to be share to the next privileged since I do not have a child to inherit the money and my late husband relatives all are non believers and I don't want my husband's hand earn money to be used in an ungodly ways.
Hence the reason for taking this bold decision because I do not have any child who will inherit this money after I die. I am desperately in keen need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you for this task, you must not fail me and the millions of the poor people in our today world. This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved, is 100% risk free with full legal proof.
This money is still with them and the management just wrote me as the true owner to come forward to receive the money for keeping it so long or rather issue a letter of authorization to somebody to receive it on my behalf since I cannot come over because of my illness or they get it confiscated.
Presently, I'm with my laptop in a hospital here in where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs. It is my last wish to see that this money is invested to any organization of your choice and distributed each year among the charity organization, the poor and the motherless babies' home.
I want you to use this money to fund orphanages and widows; I took this decision, before I rest in peace because my time will soon be up. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of them. I am absolutely assuring you that no trouble is involved in this money because this is my late husband money.
I have just received this mail from Teresa HeidI and thanks for all you have done!

HireVue recruits $45 million, expands into talent coaching
June 2, 2015: Video recruiting technology company HireVue has racked up some pretty impressive clients during its decade-long existence—Chipotle Mexican Grill, Hilton Worldwide, Marathon Petroleum, UnitedHealth Group, and Urban Outfitters.
Now, it's parlaying its 500-or-so customer references—along with an anticipated $50 million in sales this year—into a $45 million funding round led by Technology Crossover Ventures.
The money will be used to expand the company's latest offering, a coaching and training platform called Team Acceleration that combines video with predictive analytics. So far, the Utah-based company has raised $93 million, but the founder won't discuss its valuation.
"How do you keep people on message, make sure they are aligned with career goals, or teach them how to handle [sales] objections," asked HireVue founder and CEO Mark Newman. "We can bring scale to these interactions," he said.
Recruiters use HireVue's core platform to create a series of questions that candidates consider via video, using the digital camera on a personal computer or mobile device to record their answers. Not only does this standardize the information collected—eliminating potential bias introduced by individual interviewers—it helps hiring managers prescreen more applicants. That's quite impactful when you consider that some organizations spend upwards of $1 billion annually identifying and onboarding new talent, Newman estimated.
The latest twist, Team Acceleration, extends HireVue's recruiting approach to coaching and training scenarios.
Video and written interviews are used to assess baseline knowledge, typically for customer-facing processes such as lead-generation techniques to competency with software coding or engineering skills, Newman said. As skillsets evolve, so do the assessments. "It becomes a collaborative learning tool," he said. Over time, performance profiles can be created for employees.
Technology Crossover Ventures principal Nari Ansari, who joined HireVue's board along with this investment, said in a statement:
HireVue's customers have a unique consumer-like passion for the technology. Not only are they realizing a direct and measurable return on investment; they are simultaneously driving a more efficient and effective process around the strategic acquisition, assessment and development of talent to drive their organizational agendas.
HireVue's other backers include Sequoia Capital, Granite Ventures, Investor Growth Capital, Peterson Ventures, and Rose Park Advisors' Disruptive Innovation Fund.

Improvising Explosive Device
OK, this one might need a bit of an explanation (because my other drawings are such lucid statements). First, it came about due to a confluence of a few events. A friend of mine used the last line in an email message (well, actually it was "da" rather than "the" but close enough). Second, there was the article on the ABC New Anchor and his cameraman who "got blown up real good" (to quote SCTV) by an "improvised explosive device" (IED) (fortunately, they both survived the explosion). Third, someone was talking on the radio about how terms are bandied about that reduce the meaning and impact of things, such as "collateral damage" rather than "innocents killed." IED started to feel like such a term, making it almost cutesy rather than conveying the horror of things. And finally, I've been reading Bob The Angry Flower and Tom the Dancing Bug and appreciate simple drawings, especially ones that are able to convey emotions with just eyes and a mouth.
So the cutesy term became an anthropomorphized object, and a very happy one at that, as well as the "happy" ending in which someone who was the victim of the explosion, is equally as happy as Bobby.
The title Improvising Explosive Device became a pun on the IED term. The pun drove the rest of it. How would a bomb improvise? Well, he had to be thrown into a situation where he needed to improvise, in two senses of the word. In the theatrical sense, he looks for the standard volunteered scene set-up ideas a comic would use.
Of course a road is particularly well-suited for a roadside bomb. The party he simply interprets as a political party, as is his (hidden?) agenda. And the "no reason"? So much of the violence these days is directed at anyone and everyone. Yes, there are foundations, but for the death of a specific individual, it's usually simply being in the wrong place as the wrong time. Oooooo, is this a political statement? I don't know, I suppose it depends on how you read it.
A few more things. First, I figured he'd have to introduce himself. At first he was going to say "hello" but then I thought "goodbye" would be better, then I remembered Groucho Marx's wonderful song from the movie "Animal Crackers" and was able to fit in a painful though appropriate pun. Two painful puns in one drawing! Woo hoo! Three if you count "political party" though that's not really exploited as a pun.
The explosion on the 5th frame is not, I repeat not, a close-up of a pizza. I hand-drew that in photoshop playing with the blur and smear tool. It's close though not exactly what I wanted; specifically, it's close enough for me.
And that's the final point. This was an exercise on getting something done relatively quickly. It took two days from initial sketch to final colored and lettered version. There are flaws. The "Great Party" balloon should be elsewhere, higher. It's intended to be the first thing said on panel 2. I forgot to ink Bobby's mouth in panel 4 (though at least one hand-inked version exists). A few of the letters didn't get the background color in that same panel (again, I don't care). And there are some star-pattern residue marks in the final frame that I forgot to ink and didn't erase, so they show up lightly in the panel.
OK, way too much information, I know...
