With every Olympic games I feel elated because they again put in the center of attention their lofty idea of nations getting together to hold competitions of their athletes. The Intersection of five circles in the Olympic logo symbolizes the space where human endeavors and fair play win.
The whole world keenly watches all human stories and deeds which transcend new athletic records and underscore the togetherness of competitors which goes beyond the sport and make the Olympic games a real celebration of humanity and its values. Above all these are dignity, self-esteem and freedom.

I invited my acquaintances and friends, but unfortunately, no one had time. What a pity, it is an interesting document which may be – due to specific rules – screened only for study purposes. No one has ever told what the reasons are. Excluding the unlikely disagreement of the owner or distributor of this work, only political reasons are left. I do not see another reason. The movie was screened before World War II. Throughout the whole [missing word] with great response – with Czech subtitles in what were then Czechoslovak cinemas. Unfortunately and surprisingly NFA does not have this copy in its archives.

CALGARY — A Calgary man who won $40 million seven months ago and then kept it secret from his own children says he will donate his entire winnings to charity. Widower Tom Crist was the winner of the Lotto Max jackpot on May 3. “Cancer is a big one because my wife passed away from cancer, two years ago in February,” Crist said Monday. “She was fairly young,” Crist told CBC Radio. “She beat it for six years before it finally caught up to her.” “I just retired at the end of September so I was fortunate enough in my career to set myself up and my kids anyway, and there was no doubt in my mind where that money was going to go, it was going to go to charity.”
