In 2001 the United States went to war against the then-ruling Taliban in Afghanistan. Six years later, the country is still picking up the pieces and - with international help - trying to rebuild itself. In an effort to contribute to that development, the Czech Republic has just re-opened its embassy in Kabul, which had been closed since 1992. Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg and Defence Minister Vlasta Parkanova were among those in attendance at the official opening ceremony on Monday.

The Czech military presence in Afghanistan amounts to approximately 300 troops and the country’s civil presence is just as modest - mostly made up of a few dozen humanitarian aid workers from NGOs like the People in Need Foundation and Berkat. But without an embassy in the country, the Czech Republic’s contribution to social and economic development has been limited. That is about to change, says Martin Povejsil - head of political affaires at the Foreign Ministry in Prague:

“The Czech Republic has been ever more engaged in Afghanistan both politically and militarily as many other allies have been. Thus we think it necessary to be permanently present in Kabul and in the whole country and not to cover it from the outside as we did until very recently from Pakistan. The embassy will basically be engaged in developing political, military, and economic relations between the two countries, of course always within the context of our membership in international organisations like NATO and the EU.”

Earlier this year, the Czech government approved the delivery of 12 decommissioned helicopters to Afghanistan. The six Mi-17 transport and six Mi-24 combat helicopters are still being repaired and modernised in the Czech Republic. NATO requested the delivery to help develop Afghanistan’s Air Force and supply inaccesible areas with humanitarian aid.

“Coming from Afghanistan, I have a much more positive image from what Kabul is today as compared to what I expected before going there. The city is living a relatively normal life full of activity. The security measures are visible but they do not seem to affect the day-by-day life of the common and current people on the streets. We want to concentrate ever more on civil development projects. For Czech standards, we have been contributing relatively big amounts of resources to development projects in Afghanistan, not only in Kabul but mainly - and this is where we want to focus on in the future - in the Afghani provinces outside Kabul city. This will be one of our major tasks and it will not be very easy as nothing is very easy in Afghanistan.”

In Afghanistan this week, Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg and Defence Minister Vlasta Parkanova also held talks with President Hamid Karzai. The aim was to re-establish the relatively good business ties that Afghanistan and Czechoslovakia once enjoyed. Kabul, for example, used to be supplied with Czechoslovak trolley-buses - a tradition that the two countries would like to continue when the Afghan capital regains its electricity network.

The Czech Republic is now one of 33 countries to have an embassy in Afghanistan. Although this strong international diplomatic presence is a sign that the country is set for progress, the Czech Embassy still needs to be guarded by members of the rapid reaction force. The embassy, so far, also has only one staff member. Charge D’Affaires Filip Velach, a junior diplomat, will now face the task of preparing the embassy for the arrival of the ambassador, which is planned before the end of this year.

Life on the earth is related with many unique properties of the chemical compound on the planet.

One of the parameters is the presence on nitrogen molecules in the earth atmosphere. This gas is almost inert and it is very difficult to make any reaction with this gas. This makes a good mixture with oxygen to protect all organic compounds from immediate oxidation.

Another interesting property of this gas – its ability to produce organic molecules under electric sparkles. According to our knowledge, the electric sparkles together with dominating in earth atmosphere nitrogen many million years ago are produce first nitrogen organic compounds, which were sort of bricks for starting life.

In modern organism nitrogen is involved into almost all organic compounds. For example, nitrogen is a involved into formation of the amino acids – building blocks for all the protein and peptides in any living matter. Nitrogen is involved into construction of the all bases of the deoxyribonucleic and ribonucleic acids. These acids, also known as DNA and RNA – is a matrices for information about all life.

Rap music is a style of popular music. It is usually composed of two elements: rapping (also known as emceeing) and Djing. When combined with breakdancing and graffiti art, these are the four components of hip hop, a cultural movement which began in New York City in the 1970s, predominantly by African Americans and Latinos. The term rap music is sometimes used synonymously with hip hop music, though it is also used to refer specifically to the practice of rapping, which is one component of hip hop.
Typically, hip hop music consists of one or more rappers who chant semi-autobiographic tales, often relating to a fictionalized counterpart, in an intensely rhythmic lyrical form, making abundant use of techniques like assonance, alliteration, and rhyme. Though rap may be performed a cappella, it is more common for the rapper(s) to be accompanied by a DJ or a live band providing an appropriate beat. This beat is often from the percussion of a different song, usually rock, funk, or soul, and is sometimes sampled. In addition to the beat, other sounds are often sampled, synthesized, or performed. Though rap is usually an integral component of hip hop music, instrumental and non-rap Electro acts such as Planet Patrol are also defined as hip hop music groups.
Funk is an American musical style that originated in the mid- to late-1960s when African American performers blended soul music, soul jazz and R

The most interesting properties of the living organisms are self-defence. Generally, all living organisms are exposed to two types of threats – predators and parasites. In this article we will discuss the very basic technique fro organism protection from the simplest parasites – bacterial infection.

The biggest problem for an organism protection system is to get access to the internal part of bacterial cell. Usually bacterial wall is covered by polysaccharide wall, formed by N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid sugars.

In highest organisms this cell-wall is demolished by breaking of the beta (1-4) glycosidic bond between these sugars by Lysozyme. Lysozyme usually present in the all mucosal secretion such as saliva and tears. The highest concentration of this enzyme, about 3% from all proteins is observed in chicken egg-white.

Lysozyme structure is very simple – this is a single domain protein which work as a monomer. The Lysozyme structure was discovered in 1965 by David Phillips. First description of this protein was done in 1922 by Alexander Fleming. From this time Lysozyme is one of the most used proteins in educational purposes. It is very cheap and easy to purify this protein from the chicken egg in almost all amounts. Furthermore the Lysozyme crystallization is an easiest experiment between all other protein crystallization experiments. Even novice technician can repeat Lysozyme crystallization without any problems.

In most of the organism this protein used for protection, but as everywhere, somebody can yuse goods for evil purposes. So in some bacteriophage viruses the Lysozyme from their tail is used to break the bacterial wall for further infection.

Such art form was originated in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States around the start of the 20th century and still popular up to day.

Jazz has roots in the combination of American music traditions, including spirituals, blues, ragtime, religious hymns, hillbilly music, and marching band music. After originating near the beginning of the 20th century, jazz styles spread in the 1920s, influencing other musical styles. The origins of the word jazz are uncertain. The word is rooted in American slang, and various derivations have been suggested. Jazz was not applied to jazz music until about 1915, in Chicago. Earl Hines, born in 1903 and later to become a celebrated “jazz” musician, used to claim that he was “playing piano before the word “Jazz” was even invented”.
