As you can see winter is here. Fortunately, it is a country well prepared for it. Though the Christmas markets are open, the festive spirit has not prevented people here from caring about the tragedies in other places.  Our most recent trip to Brno was encouraging and...

A busy week continued with a great turnout for our Wednesday internal Skype class. On Thursday we had the second in our Prague lecture series. As has often been the case recently, it went very well. The attendance was very good for Prague with 10 visitors. The Q&A...
