Once again I am pleased to present you with the new issue
of our magazine BB Centrum Review. To begin with I would
like to share my joy with you of the success achieved by
our magazine in the contest Zlatý středník. In the thirteenth
year of this prestigious contest and based on the votes from
experts in the field of marketing and media, our magazine
has been placed among the best acclaimed magazines in
its category! We would like to maintain the quality of our
work in the future, also thanks to your support. And be­
cause the aim of our magazine is to acquaint you with what
the BB Centrum offers, this issue will be no exception.
Did you know that there are more than ten restaurants
and canteens and five cafés altogether in the BB Centrum?
That until today we have planted ten thousand trees, shrubs
and plants here? Try to unwind a little from your workload
during this summer weather in the BB Centrum and enjoy
a picnic lunch with colleagues in Baar’s Park, play pétanque
or come and see the traditional summer concert, this time
with the band MIG 21.
And because the summer is inseparably linked to travel­
ling and vacations, let me wish you peace and quiet on
your travels, lots of positive experiences and a safe home­
coming, too.
Enjoy your summer!

The 15th
BB C CUP
MIG 21 at the Baar Park
Remember to come by at the Baar Park on Thursday, June 25th! A concert of
a popular band, MIG 21, is planned for this day. Děda Mládek Illegal Band will
play before the main concert of the distinctive MIG 21. Bring your colleagues, friends
or family. This relaxing retropop music experience will be accompanied by a bar­
becue, the chance to try out a Balance Club Brumlovka massage, and we are also

Fifteen years have passed since the first
kick-off of the BB C CUP, a five-a-side fo­
otball tournament. This year, the sports event,
organised for the BB Centrum tenants regular­
ly every year by the PASSERINVEST GROUP, is
halfway to celebrating another jubilee. The Cup
will take place on June 19th at the FK Slavoj
Vyšehrad field in Prague 4 as before.
Last year these company teams took part:
Hewlett-Packard, Fresenius Kabi, Gemalto, GE
Money Bank, GolfProfi Store Praha, Microsoft,
Balance Club Brumlovka, and PASSERINVEST
GROUP; for a few years in a row, however, no
team had bested Balance Club Brumlovka.
Bring your team to this year’s tournament,
too. The starting fee for the whole team is
CZK 2,000.

Open-air cinema at the BB Centrum
Do you like open-air cinema? From August 17th to 20th, you don’t have to go
anywhere – Kinobus (Movie-bus) will come to the BB Centrum with this sum­
mer’s ­movies.
The special projecting Kinobus will be parked in the area in front of the building of
the Elijáš Christian Nursery School, U Michelské školy Street, at the edge of the Baar
Park. It is a fully-equipped moving cinema which will bring us many movie experien­
ces, a big projection screen, and benches for the audience. You won’t be deprived of the
necessary “movie” refreshment either. The programme of the 8th year of the Kinobus
project will be available on the website www.bbcentrum.cz and the Facebook page of
the BB Centrum well in time. You can look forward to Czech films with the right topics
above all.
Stay a bit longer at the BB Centrum and bring your friends, too – everybody is wel­
come. An open-air cinema is simply part of the summer. Don’t miss the unusual movie
nights at the BB Centrum.

Are you concerned with what is happe­
ning around us? Are you interested in
biblical topics? It is the Bible where we can
find many references and messages related to
current affairs as well as the near future. Radim
Passer is preparing unique seminars for this
autumn on the study of the biblical prophecies
of Daniel and the Revelation. These books were
inspired by God and written mainly for people
living from the 19th century up to now. The se­
minars are intended for beginners, too – all cho­
sen topics will be presented in an accessible
form which can be understood by everybody.
The studies will be held once a week in a li­
mited group of 12 people at most. If you are
interested in the seminar, contact the e-mail

WHE RE BUSI NESS COMES TO L I FE
Brumlovka Park: Green areas are
an obvious part of a modern city
As is customary in the BB Centrum, all of the buildings will come with their own fresh
greenery. Just like Baar Park is adjacent to the FILADELFIE building, the new
Brumlovka Park will be next to the southern side of the DELTA building.
Its first stage will be finished simultaneously with the
DELTA building. Ing. arch. Jakub Fišer from the Aulík
Fišer Architects studio, who designed the park, and Petr Novotný, executive head of Zahrady a zeleň s. r. o. – the com­
pany responsible for its construction – will tell us what the
park will look like.
What can people look forward to in the new Brumlovka
Park?
JF: The park will offer a place for recreation not only for the
BB Centrum users and visitors, but also for the people living
in the area. Among other things, the first stage of the park
will include a large playground with many features for pla­
ying. There will also be a network of pathways and a conne­
ction to Hodonínská Street. Of course, we will also recultivate
the landscape and plant more greenery.
PN: Primarily, you will have a pleasant feeling from the
plants, brushes and trees in bloom combined with natural
paving. You will leave the office building, sit on a bench... It
is reminiscent of a sleepy summer resort, where the garden
is being prepared for lunch. You can slow down and relax
for a while.
What would you highlight about this park?
JF: This park is an integral part of the BB Centrum develop­
ment concept – it supplements the environment for parents
with children, its central motif is the aforementioned play­
ground. In the upcoming stages, there should also be a ­water
feature, sculptures and other attractions for both children
and adults.
PN: I appreciate the fact that greenery is not simply a “nece­
ssary evil” for the investing PASSERINVEST GROUP, but that
it creates an attractive environment where you can sit down
or take a relaxing walk.
What part of this project brings you the most joy?
JF: Besides the aforementioned playground, which I think
will be truly exceptional, I like that the old trees from the
former gardens were kept and still stand in the park. We
couldn’t keep all of the trees, due to their age and health,
but the existing mature trees definitely improve the new
park’s atmosphere. Of course, we will plant new trees as
well.
PN: I am happy that in the course of the project the green
areas got larger and not smaller, which often happens else­
Visualisation of Brumlovka Park
where. And I will be even happier once
everything starts blooming and the
plants thrive.
What do you think the role of greenery is in development areas like
the BB Centrum?
JF: Green areas are an obvious part
of a modern city providing a good en­
vironment for its inhabitants – and
undoubtedly, the BB Centrum is such
a place. That’s why greenery is irrepla­
ceable here. We have been cooperating
with the investor since the start of the
BB Centrum construction, and together
we keep looking for ways to improve
the local environment and public spa­
ce. It’s a long-term development stra­
tegy, which began more than 10 years
ago with the promenade between the
BETA and BRUMLOVKA buildings.
Since then, we have added Baar Park, trees and brushes in
the Vyskočilova street, water fountains in front of the E and
GAMMA buildings and more. I must also mention the roof
gardens, which have become the standard in all of the newly
constructed buildings. At the moment, we are finishing the
rich improvements of the park along the Václava Sedláčka
street by the DELTA building, which will include new water
areas.
However, we aren’t only talking about the new projects
and the related development of greenery and parks. Peo­
ple’s feedback allows us to keep improving the current area
of the BB Centrum, where we are preparing further improve­
ments and modifications of the public space in cooperation
with the PASSERINVEST GROUP.
PN: Greenery is definitely very important for relaxation and
for being able to “switch off” for a while and have a rest. It
is the greenery that completes the construction of such
projects. Without it, a complex isn’t homely and feels cold.
With today’s range of choice of such centres, all details are
important and nice greenery can have the lion’s share in the
success of the entire project.

Relocation to
the DELTA
building begins
The BB Centrum multifunctional complex has a new dominant feature in
the form of the DELTA building. It is the largest of the existing 147 build­
ings within the Michle complex in Prague. The first part of the building has
already undergone the construction approval procedure and two major global
companies – Hewlett-Packard and software giant Microsoft will be moving in
during the year. The construction approval procedure for the second part of the
DELTA building will take place in September of this year. In total the DELTA
building will offer 40 thousand square metres of office space over 8 floors. It
also features 800 square metres of commercial premises and parking places
for approximately 800 cars over 5 underground floors.
The DELTA structure consists of two buildings connected by a parterre with
a H-shaped floor plan. The two buildings are connected by a footbridge on each
floor. This feature attracted Hewlett-Packard, who have acquired a unique of­
fice space covering an area of 4,500 square metres on a single floor.
“The concept of the DELTA building enables us to create a working environ­
ment which is consistent with our vision of working from anywhere,” says
Ms. Biljana Weber, General Manager Czech Republic at Microsoft, about the
new premises.

Balance Club
Brumlovka celebrates
through exercise
Just like in previous years, also this year the Bal­
ance Club Brumlovka chose to celebrate its birthday
through exercise, fun and joy. On the April 11th, its members
could, from 10:00 a.m. till 06:00 p.m., enjoy a range of sports
activities for free (and non-members for just CZK 300) –
there was zumba, pilates, aqua aerobics and other sports
and the mood was excellent as always!
Shortly after it was established in 2007, the Balance Club
Brumlovka started ranking among the best wellness and
fitness centres in the capital. But they definitely do not just
dwell in the past there, on the contrary! The centre always
carried the newest world trends and many new exercises
and programmes that came into the Czech Republic first
appeared right here.

STARTS ON
JUNE 15
New restaurant at
the DELTA building
While looking for tenants of the newest administrative building DELTA,
a restaurant keeper was also being carefully selected whose character
and services would best suit the original style of the new building and its
tenants’ wishes above all. The choice is JLV – a company with an over fifty­
-year tradition in this business. The new restaurant called MOMENTO won’t
be preparing a general menu as many international chains do but, on the
contrary, an individual one in line with the customers’ wishes.
The chef and manager is Martin Jiskra who gained experience in top-class
hotels in the Czech Republic and abroad. He worked in Austria, France, Eng­
land, the USA, and many other countries around the whole world including
Japan. The Kuwaiti royal family used his services in the past as well. Martin
Jiskra is a member of the French professional association Chaine des Rôtti­
sseurs and his name can be found in the Who’s Who – World Chefs ency­
clopaedia. His specialities are the Czech cuisine and fresh fish. He enjoys
bringing new elements into his recipes, for example in the form of unusual
ingredients.
“The MOMENTO Delta restaurant is a modern gastronomic project respon­
ding to its customers’ wishes. We believe in good and honest cuisine which
the customers will be happy to come back to,” says Jan Valeš, the JLV busi­
ness and marketing manager. “Although this is corporate catering, we pla­
ce great emphasis on quality ingredients and original combinations on the
menu which the customers know mainly from á la carte restaurants. We will
prepare the typical scrambled eggs for your breakfast, fresh baked goods,
puddings, home-made yoghurts, and soups. You can choose your lunch from
three complete menus and several ready meals. There is a salad bar available
throughout the day and a wide range of complementary products including
a BIO section,” explains Jan Valeš.
The up-to-date menu of the MOMENTO restaurant and the nutritional val­
ues of the meals can be found at www.momentodelta.cz. You can also down­
load an Android app on the website for easier access.

Biljana Weber:
I always aim high
and work hard
Biljana Weber has been the general manager of Czech Microsoft for almost two
years now. She came here from Slovenia where she also held the position of the General
Manager. Before joining Microsoft, she worked in several leadership positions at IBM.
She says her greatest passion is her family and talks enthusiastically about how
new technologies help her balance her work and personal life and how the constant
changes keep her young.

This autumn, Microsoft is moving within BB Centrum to the
new DELTA building. Why did you
decide to move and what are your expectations of the new space?
The decision supports our vision of
the “New World of Work”, where mo­
dern cloud technologies enable pe­
ople to work more flexibly and from
anywhere. As a result, the purpose of
a workspace changes and it becomes
a space to meet, exchange, collabo­
rate, co-create rather than a traditio­
nal office with fixed desks and fixed
hours. And our new offices in the DEL­
TA building will reflect that. In fact,
our move to Delta is not just about
changing our location – it’s about en­
hancing the way we work together.
be various rooms to enable other types of work – from work
stations to meeting rooms and executive lounges. There
will also be so called “Quiet Spaces” where people don’t
talk or use their mobiles, so if you need to concentrate
on your job, you can choose to work there. These are just
a couple of examples as the office will feature many more
new elements.
Can you be more specific about how
your new offices will move away from
the “norm”?
Well, they will be very different from
“the norm“. It will be a totally open
space dominated by so called “hubs”,
spaces designed to enable coopera­
tion, co-creation, relaxation and inte­
raction. These spaces will go across
4 floors and will be connected by an
open staircase to help people meet
and share. Around this area, there will
How does the path of a person – especially that of a woman – lead to the post of general manager of Microsoft?
What’s your recipe for success?
Well, I always aim high and work hard to achieve my goa­
ls. Also, I think that a good career resembles a labyrinth –
a career path is neither easy, nor a one-way street. Another
important element is being highly professional. I believe
that professional behaviour at all times and excellent re­
sults will move you forward in your career. For a manage­
ment role, it’s not enough to take one step ahead; you have
to take several steps at a time. The nature of work requires
a great deal of flexibility from us – both with regard to the
Is your new vision the result of the fact that technologies
are constantly moving forward, as are demands on the
work environment and employee work habits?
Absolutely. Our vision stands on three pillars: technology
as an enabler of mobile and flexible work and life, corpo­
rate culture that needs to adapt to new work, and lifestyle
and place – because in this environment, the office starts
to function differently than before. We’re not supposed to
sit at our desks here and work because this can be done
anywhere. The office should connect us as a team, drive
cooperation and innovation.
number of hours we put in, as well as
job location. I need to stress the im­
portance of communication, and man­
agers must be empathetic and appre­
ciate the good teams around them.
As far as women are concerned –
I believe women should make it clear
what their ambitions are, both at work
as well as at home and should not he­
sitate to ask for the support they need.
That’s the trick – if you want a career,
you have to say it.
Still, it’s rather uncommon to see women working in IT. How did you yourself get into this field?
When I decided to study IT, it was still
a young new industry, developing
very fast and dynamically. I thought
that this industry would keep cha­
llenging me, force me to develop new
skills, and always provide opportuni­
ties to work with smart creative pe­
ople from all around the world. And
indeed, that is how it is!
But you’re right. It is still quite di­
fficult to attract women to technolo­
gy careers. Many young women still
have the perception that an IT career
means you have to spend endless
hours programming at your computer,
but one can choose from two types

of careers – management or technology expert. Moreover, IT will
continue to offer reliable career opportunities in the years to come
and a high level of flexibility which is important for women. Last but
not least, salaries are higher on average too.
Currently, Microsoft has two successful programs for girls and
women to show them that IT is fun and has great prospects. One
is “Opening Windows” – a networking and mentoring platform for
professional women. Currently the platform has over 850 members.
The other is “Opening Windows @Universities” – to expand the plat­
form to university students and graduates.
Your company has been a part of BB Centrum for more than 10 years.
What do you like best about BB Centrum? Which services do you use
the most?
Mainly, it’s the strategic location of BB Centrum and its easy acce­
ssibility for both our people and our customers. It is part of a very
well thought out business and community centre with many practi­
cal elements – shops, fitness, medical centres, cafés, a post office,
etc. I love its good infrastructure – fitness club, banks, dry cleaners,
etc. I use many of those services.
How do you like to spend your free time? Does your demanding work
life even allow you any free time for yourself?
My greatest passion is my family and I make every effort to spend
quality time with them. They live in Vienna while I work in Prague,
10
so our time together is limited and so we work hard to make the most
of it. I am also a big user of our technology to keep in touch, so for
example I Skype with my daughter every day.
But otherwise, my favourite ways to relax are listening to music,
travelling, doing sports and spending time with my friends. What
I like about Prague (which is in fact similar to what I like about Vie­
nna) is that there’s a lot of culture here, especially music of all kinds.
Did your personal life change in any way when you moved to the
Czech Republic?
As I mentioned, I live in two places which is already a big change.
Therefore, I’m a very good example of our new world of work – how
current technologies enable us to integrate work and personal lives
without having to choose between family and career. And it is not
just about living in two places, two countries. I travel a lot anyway
and thanks to all the technologies we use, I do not find it difficult at
all to manage everything I need to.

ELLIOT GROUP:
The client’s wish is a challenge,
making it happen is fun
ELLIOT GROUP, a company residing at the Residential
Park Baarova, offers a very wide scope of services. It
was founded 15 years ago as ELLIOT IDENTITY, an adver­
tising agency. In 2010, ELLIOT ACTIVITY, a travel agency,
opened new possibilities, and in 2014, the group expanded
further with ELLIOT REALITY, a real estate agency. The
company is made up of a team of young but professionally
experienced people providing services based on a personal
approach. Since its formation, it has lost nothing of its enthu­
siasm; on the contrary, it has gained much valuable experi­
ence now included in the know-how offered to both current
and new clients. Moving to the new address in the impres­
sive environment of the Residential Park Baarova is seen as
an important milestone in the company’s history.
What exactly do the individual sections
of ELLIOT GROUP offer to their clients?
ELLIOT IDENTITY, an advertising agency: Specialists in all
kinds of events
The oldest part of ELLIOT GROUP focuses mainly on the
­organisation of congresses, press conferences, professional
trainings and courses, workshops, cultural and social events,
Christmas parties, fashion shows, company/teambuilding/
sports and many other kinds of events.
The arranging of social events is one the
company’s main specialities. “To be cre­
ative is not enough. We have to ensure
that everything works smoothly and
that the clients can forget, at least for
a few moments, how busy they are,” says
Eva Junková, Senior Project Manager.
ELLIOT ACTIVITY, a travel agency:
Activities with children and moments
of rest
It was only a short step from the rich
experience with organising all kinds of
events to the expansion of the offered
services with a travel agency offering
“family experiences”. “We wanted to
involve the whole family in the holi­
day and weekend adventures, to create
collective programmes as well as give
the parents an opportunity to enjoy
relaxing moments on their own,” Eva
Junková explains the philosophy of
the travel agency. Besides summer and winter holidays,
ELLIOT ACTIVITY also offers several or one-day thematic
events, for example St. Nicholas Party, Children’s Day, fam­
ily kite flying, long cycling weekends, and much more. Read
more about ELLIOT ACTIVITY on page 28.
ELLIOT REALITY, a real estate agency: The way to finding
your personal space
The youngest part of ELLIOT GROUP engages in real estate,
construction, and design. As in the previous cases, this is
partly business, partly fulfilling personal goals. “We enjoy
nice and modern but also practical and functional things.
We like design, we are creative, we modernise, create, de­
vise, and build, and we aim at delivering all this to our cli­
ents,” says Eva Junková. The individual dreams and ideas
of clients are important everywhere, be it the designing of
a cosy home, a practical office, or a well-planned shop.

PUZZLE SALADS
– seasonal, local, fast,
and healthy
At the end of April, the salad bar PUZZLE SALADS opened a new bar in
the FILADELFIE building, which is especially good news in the summer!
The first PUZZLE SALADS bar has been serving its menu in Jankovcova
Street in Holešovice since last year.
PUZZLE SALADS follows two main
principals above all – fresh home-made
meals every day and a friendly attitude. This
is definitely reflected on the taste as well
as the enthusiastic approach of Stanislav
Štrobl, the owner of this salad bar, who says
this about the founding of the business: “My
friends know me as a good-food lover and
a passionate cook. And why salads at all?
Because they are neglected in restaurants
although everybody I know loves them. Ho­
wever, you have to make them right. To limit
their preparation to a simple mix of tomato­
es, cucumber, and iceberg lettuce seems too
boring and wasteful to me so I started expe­
rimenting and discovering new ingredients
and recipes.”
The main offer is several kinds of salads
which are mixed directly in front of the
customer. If you don’t feel like taking any
of the salads on the menu, you can have
one of your choice and thus piece together
your own tasty “jigsaw puzzle”. The menu
also includes home-made soups, sweet and
savoury baked goods, home-made lemona­
des, and tasty coffee. A special offer is avai­
lable every day. The menu changes all the
time according to the season and weather
but it always follows the same principles:
the food is fresh, tasty, made fresh (no rea­
dy-to-cook meals), seasonal, local, fast, and
healthy.
You can eat your meal at the bar, take advan­
tage of its outside seating with a view of the
water fountain and the Baar Park, or you can
have everything on the menu packed and rea­
dy to take away so nothing can stop you from
having a picnic lunch in the Baar Park. Enjoy
the summer to the fullest while you can!

Is life an accident or a design?
Do we really descend from monkeys? Where do the laws of nature come from? Why
does every life end in death and is death really the end of everything? How did the
planet Earth come into existence?
If you wish to know whether your existence is a sim­
ple accident or a part of some big, well thought-out
plan, how man evolved as time moved on, and where we
are heading, you should visit Genesis Expo, a travelling
exhibition which is one of the projects under the patron­
age of Maranatha, a Christian-oriented association.
“How big is the universe? Bigger than we think. Bigger
even than we can imagine. (…) Try to picture it like this:
next time you are on the beach by the sea, take a handful
of sand. If the current estimates are right, there are more
stars in the universe than there are grains of sands on all
the beaches in the world. What we see when we look up
is just a handful of sand. (…) Nowadays, everybody knows
that the Earth isn’t the centre of the universe but for years
we have been wondering about its uniqueness and whe­
ther it is the only populated planet in the whole universe.
We have found out recently that most star systems have
planets and the estimated number of planets is over a bil­
lion within our own galaxy alone. We still cannot answer
the question on how many of these planets there are any
animals or plants and whether there is intelligent life so­
mewhere else in the universe – despite the fact that all
astronomers have been ruminating on this. The wonders
of the universe are far beyond our imagination! (…) Could
all this really have come into existen­
ce by mere accident?”
These and other substantial quest­
ions about the origins of life are asked
by the authors of a book called Be­
yond Imagination – Jerry D. Thomas,
John Templeton Baldwin, and James
Gibson (published by Advent Orion in

The great outdoors
Although the BB Centrum is located close to the
city centre, its surroundings are full of opportunities
for employees of the local companies to actively spend
their free time. And so we would like to present you
with a few tips on outdoor activities which you can
do around here after your working hours or even
during them. As several university research studies
have shown, as little as five minutes of fresh air exercise
can help significantly reduce stress. Give it a shot!

ABOUT RUNNING
The specialized store RunPremio is not only a store
with performance running shoes, but also a training
and consultation centre, where you will get invaluable
information about running, as well as about training
for running. The lifestyle coach and specialist on running training and diet, Marcel Brož, has prepared the
following ten pieces of advice for you:
Running through the oasis of peace
Baar Park, framed as a large garden, is the green heart of the
BB Centrum. Just like the objects surrounding it, the park itself
was designed using space composition with a variety of natural
materials. The planting of almost two hundred different trees and
eight hundred shrubs made it into a green oasis. It was designed for
the purposes of active recreation for residents, as well as visitors
from “outside”, and it offers a number of unique attractions, for
example a water cascade and conference tubes, which can be used
for communication between people up to fifty metres apart. The
park’s dimensions make it into an ideal area for running; it can
serve as both the start and finish for several different circuits which
vary in length and difficulty and are thus suitable for everyone.
There is, for example, a running circuit which goes north from Baar
park, through the greenery of the Pod Farou Street and around the
Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary back to the start.

1 Running is the second most natural activity for people, right after walking.
2 When running doesn’t look good, it doesn’t work
well either! Many people do more harm than good
through such an activity.
3 More than half the customers who come to RunPremio have problems with the arches of their feet.
4 Running training should start with choosing the right shoes.
5 Just as every fingerprint is unique, every person has
a unique style of running and foot placement.
6 Individualization of shoes according to a person’s feet is necessary not because ready-to-wear shoes
aren’t good enough, but because every person is
unique. No two human feet are identical!
7 If you choose your shoes well, you can run five kilometres more than with bad shoes on your first training
day.
8 Good shoes also protect your knees as well as the
entire locomotor system.
9 An hour of running means much more energy output than riding the same distance on a bicycle.
10 Looking after one’s feet is important from a very
young age. From the medical point of view, feet are the
reason why children often have bad posture, knock
knees or back pain.

Yoga for life harmony
Equilibrium between body and mind has become the primary focus of many activities taking
place in the gym as well as outdoors. Since every occupation causes various stress levels,
physical activities should mainly focus on relieving stress. Besides running, yoga and pilates are
among the activities with such effects. The well-kept grass in Baar Park is ideal for both of these
activities. You can exercise directly on grass, but a special yoga mat won’t do any harm. And if
you don’t like to exercise on your own, invite a few colleagues to join you.
A TIP FROM THE
B AL ANCE CLUB
BRUMLOVKA
A vast majority of office occupations are sedentary jobs.
Recent studies have shown that if you divide your work day
with a break at noon including a yoga lesson and a light meal,
your efficiency at work will rise significantly in the second
half of the day.
P I L AT E S
Pilates should be done at least two or three times a week. You
will notice the first changes after ten lessons. After thirty lessons, even the others will notice the positive changes in your
body and mind. Doing pilates is beneficial to the human body
not only as a form of prevention, but also as rehabilitation.

Captivated by the white sport
Although many tennis courts in Prague are open even over
the winter, the biggest demand for the white sport comes in
the spring and summer, when the inflatable roofs are taken down
and outdoor courts open up. In close vicinity to the BB Centrum,
there are several places that can serve this purpose. Only dozens
of metres away from the Balance Club Brumlovka, there is the
LTC 1927 Praha-Michle Tennis Club, which can offer seven clay
courts. Some of the courts are reserved for the club or training
purposes, but anyone can come and play after booking a court.
You can also play tennis in the multi-purpose hall in B
­ aarova
Street, but again, don’t forget to book in advance – especially at
weekends and during peak hours it is usually full.

French pétanque
If you consider pétanque to be a pe­
aceful game meant for pensioners,
you are badly mistaken! It is actually an
adrenaline-fused activity which involves
a great deal of psychological pressure,
especially during throws that can change
the outcome of the entire game. Watching
and playing pétanque are two very diffe­
rent things. Did you know that the Czech
Republic has a good reputation in this
game? Last year’s Europe championship
saw the Czech women team win the silver
medal!
One of the most interesting things about
pétanque is that the surface on which it is
played is not defined in the rules at all, so
it doesn’t need to be only grass. This opens
up a wealth of possibilities for the game
– where and under what conditions the
players will compete against each other
and the metal balls. Still, there are seve­
ral courts in Prague built specifically for
this originally French pastime. A nice new
court in Baar Park is one of them. If you ha­
ven’t tried this game yet, there’s no reason
to wait any longer. Both individuals and
teams of several players can compete.

Beautiful weather also enables group sport activities, which
are a lot more about active recreation for groups of friends or
co-workers, than about top performances. The ideal place for
these activities is the multifunctional sports court next to the
Elijáš Elementary School.
It is open all year round and the inflatable roof comes down
at the start of April, when it becomes fully available for various
outdoor group activities. Its dimensions – 44 x 24 metres – and
artificial surface make it ideal for five-a-side football, floorball,
handball or basketball and possibly tennis or badminton.
There is also a playground very close to the multifunctional
sports court, which is also open to the public. It features, among
other things, a multifunctional jungle-gym and a climbing wall,
which will please mothers with children in particular. The playground is open daily, including holidays, 08:00 a.m.–08:00 p.m.
TIP: The multifunctional sports court is ideal for training
for the annual five-a-side football BB C CUP tournament,
held yearly by the company PASSERINVEST GROUP for
the tenants of the BB Centrum. You can read more about the

Trend in glasses:
Imaginativeness
and creativity
“When a woman puts on her glasses for the first time, it means that her
curiosity has got the better of her vanity,” says a quotation by the painter, Vladimir
Lebedev. At a time when we are literally flooded with offers from eye clinics offering
laser and other eye surgery to permanently or partially correct one’s eyesight,
it may seem that traditional corrective eyeglasses are on the retreat. They are not.
On the contrary – there are still a lot of people among us who prefer wearing
eyeglasses to surgery or contact lenses. And it does not hurt their vanity
– they look well wearing them.

Like for example writer Michal Viewegh
who even after laser eye surgery has kept
wearing his glasses, as they are a part of his per­
sonality. Glasses belong to the image of some
actors, for example Jiří Bartoška, Lukáš Hejlík,
Dana Morávková or the TV presenter, Štěpánka
Duchková, who took a particular liking in wea­
ring various interesting glass frames. This trend
– glasses as a part of a person’s outfit – started
sometime around 2005. Until then, short-sigh­
tedness had been considered a sort of handicap
and in an effort to conceal this handicap, peo­
ple preferred wearing contact lenses. But when
glasses began to appear in the collections of
world-famous fashion designers and when re­
nowned “trend-setter” Victoria Beckham made
a public appearance in glasses, a new trend was
born – glasses are just hot right now!
Choose according to
the shape of your face
Our tip! Ombré glasses
Ombré hairstyles are already out of fashion, but ombré
glasses still have a place in the sun! These are sunglasses
with a gradual transition of the glass colouring, so that they
are darker on top and lighter towards the bottom. You can,
for example, choose from the new ombré collection of the
GANT brand.
Which glasses should you buy, so that they go
well with your face? A careful selection proce­
dure must precede the purchase of glasses; get
advice from an expert optician and also take
someone with you who knows you and can tell
what suits you. The basic criterion is their size
proportionate to the size and shape of your face
and head. If you have a round face, you should
choose square frames of a darker colour, which
make your face look thinner. Avoid round fra­
mes – they could make your face look childish.
Glasses of an oval or round shape with narrow
frames or without frames, on the other hand, go
best with a square face – rounded shapes can
soften up sharp features. The lucky ones are tho­
se who have an oval face, they look good with
all kinds of frames. Generally speaking, oval­
-shaped frames soften up the facial features and
the square-shaped ones add to the hardness. Co­
rrective glasses are a very individual accessory
or, if you want, a tool, so their selection is a deli­
cate process that cannot be rushed.
Season of the sun commencing,
eyes at the ready!
Glasses are not used only to correct bad visi­
on or as an attractive fashion accessory, their
other equally important role is eye protecti­
on and we should remember it all year long
and especially with the coming of summer.
“Harmful UV rays cause a variety of diseases
such as cataract or the degenerative disease
of the conjunctiva and they are also the pri­
mary cause of skin cancer. One out of ten ca­
ses of skin cancer occurs on the eyelids,” says
Monika Škrétová Szaló from NOVUS OPTIK
and points out that we should also protect our
children’s eyes from the sun – we wear sun­
glasses ourselves, but keep forgetting about
our children’s eyesight, even though it is up
to six times more sensitive to UV light than
adults’ eyesight!
How to protect the eyes? Nowadays it’s no
longer true that wearing corrective glasses
would automatically rule out sunglasses. “An
entire range of sunglass dioptre lenses is also
available,” says the NOVUS OPTIK optometrist
in the BRUMLOVKA building.
Another possible clever solution are pho­
tochromic glasses. They are clear when in
a room and turn dark when outside, fully re­
placing sunglasses. “Newly available are also
photochromic lenses that can turn dark even
behind the windshield of a car. It’s because
they don’t only react to UV rays, but also to the
intensity of sunlight. Additionally, the reaction
to the change of lighting is rather quick,” adds
the optician. You can choose from three col­
ours – brown, grey and newly also the trendy
grey-green.
In certain conditions, comfortable and clear
vision can be disturbed by sun glare. This can
even be dangerous for some activities, such as
driving a car or skiing. Conventional sunglass
lenses reduce the bright light, but do not elimi­
nate reflections, and that can cause problems
in some situations. “In such cases I would re­
commend the Xperio polarized lenses. These,
in addition to protection from sunlight and re­
duction of glare, have other functions as well.
You will see the outside world more clearly and
brightly,” says Monika Škrétová Szaló. Drivers
using the Xperio polarized lenses have a shor­
ter reaction time and are able to stop 7 metre
sooner at a speed of 80 km/h!

Do you protect
your eyes properly?
Even the design
of your glasses plays
a role in this
TIPS FROM THE

The health of our eyes can be supported by various products
freely available in pharmacies. To protect the retina, especially in older age, we can recommend food supplements
containing lutein or zeaxanthin, e.g. the capsules Farmax
Ocumax Lutein. With advancing age, our eyes cannot eliminate the free radicals created through oxidizing reactions
to light and this leads to their aging, which causes impaired
vision. The production of these free radicals can be reduced
by antioxidants. Essential fatty acids, such as omega-3 or
omega-6 also have a role to play. Of the dietary supplements
that are available, you can try for example Protectum Ginkgo or Protectum Omega-3, capsules with a special combination of antioxidants, carotenoids, vitamins and unsaturated
fatty acids. Other dietary supplements for healthy eyes with
a similar composition include Avilut, Walmark Lutein or
Ocutein.

“Even though the UV radiation is more intensive during summer, it was
proven that it has a harmful impact on the eyes during the whole year, no
matter if its sunny or cloudy. An important tool for protecting the eyesi­
ght against the harmful impact of UV radiation is sunglasses, corrective
glasses or contact lenses with a UV protection. Given the diffusion of the
rays of light, an important aspect of glasses is also their design. Those with
peripheral protection yield better results,” says Dr. Markéta Svobodová, an
ophthalmologist from the clinic SANTÉ, based in the BB Centrum in the
building BB C VILLAS.
Another issue associated with the spring and summer periods, are aller­
gies. Allergy sufferers, diabetics, elderly people and women after meno­
pause should preventively moisten their eyes with artificial tears that are
freely available in pharmacies. This is recommended especially in air­
-conditioned, smoky or dusty environments. It also holds true for all people
that spend prolonged periods in front of a computer screen. “Eye fatigue is
a common problem in people who work with computers. During concentra­
ted and prolonged work, a person’s blinking frequency starts to decrease,
which leads to evaporation of tears and dessication of the eye surface. This
is also often supported by air-conditioned environment and can lead to im­
paired vision (even tear film is involved in the formation of optical defects).
Other causes of eye fatigue include wrongly corrected (wrong number of
dioptres in glasses) or uncorrected dioptre defect (the absence of glasses),
or signs of incipient presbyopia (gradual aging of the eye which causes
deterioration of distance vision). That’s why I would like to recommend to
blink regularly while working with a computer, use artificial tears to mois­
ten your eyes and rest by closing your eyes, looking in the distance or by
taking a short walk and changing the environment, if air-conditioning is
present. Don’t forget to use the right correction (glasses) when working at
close proximity or medium proximity,” says the ophthalmologist.
Our tip! Exercise for tired eyes
One of the causes of fatigue is dry eyes. Remember to blink often when working with a computer – blinking spreads the tear film and removes dirt from
the eye. Even eye muscles can be trained. Alternate looking at a close and
a distant object, so that your lenses are forced to focus alternately. You can
place your finger about 20 cm in front of your eyes – look at it for a while and
then look at a distance for a while, preferably outside the window. To release
the strain from your eyes, you can also warm up your hands by rubbing them
against each other, create a “cup” from them and place them before your
closed eyes so that they don’t touch them, but cover the light. Feel only the
darkness and the warmth of your hands. Just one or two minutes of this can
refresh and relax your eyes.

Prevention, just like with your teeth
While most of us go to the dentist regularly once or twice
a year, we tend to neglect our ophthalmologist a little. But pre­
ventive eye examinations, even if we don’t have any problems
at the moment, are very important. “There are diseases and
conditions of the eye that aren’t in their early stages manifes­
ted by any vision-related problems. Conversely, cases when
the patient comes with problems can already mean an advan­
ced stage of the disease. One example is glaucoma – a chronic,
progressive and creeping disease that results in irreversible
loss of optic nerve fibres, which leads to blackouts in the field
of vision. An eye examination can reveal the disease in a ti­
mely manner and proper treatment can stop its progression,”
says Dr. Svobodová. People under 40 years of age without any
eye diseases should undergo preventive examinations rough­
ly every two years and older people once a year. Register at an
ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
How do I know that there is something
wrong with my eyes?
To keep our eyes healthy for as long as possible, it is impor­
tant, as with the entire body, to follow a healthy lifestyle. It is
essential not to smoke and people with diabetes and with high
blood pressure require sufficient compensation for their dise­
ase, because these diseases negatively impact on retinal blo­
od vessels, thereby having a negative effect on the eyesight.
We ourselves, in the mirror, can also spot some symptoms that
should alert us to go see a doctor. “The most common state is
the red eye, which is caused by hyperemia of the conjuncti­
va due to various conditions, most commonly inflammation.
Another symptom is the change of colour of the sclera to ye­
llow in both eyes, which can be a sign of jaundice. Additio­
nally, you can notice overall change in the appearance of the
eyeballs, bulging eyes or exophthalmos, which is often a sign
of thyroid disease. Changes of colour and pigmentation of the
iris, especially in brighter irises (blue, green), can also be spo­
tted in the mirror. It’s mostly the case of the not-so-serious
nevi of the iris, a condition similar to the appearance of nevi
on the skin. But those that grow, change shape or bleed can be
a sign of emerging melanoma,” warns Dr. Svobodová.

Make-up under glasses? Thicker layers allowed
Ladies, if you like to use make-up, you can use more of it under glasses. It
is because glasses dilute colours and the make-up then feels softer. “If you
have subtle frames, you can use volumizing mascara and bold eyeshadows.
In thick frames I would recommend aligning your make-up with their
colour. Another important fact is whether you are short-sighted or long-sighted. Glasses for the short-sighted make the eyes look smaller, and so
they should be made larger optically through make-up. Just use luminizing
primer and soft or shimmering eyeshadows. Glasses for the long-sighted,
on the other hand, make the eyes look larger, so we should make them
Tereza Škrbková,
smaller through make-up. Use dim shades, pastel colours, darker eyeliners
Beautician and
and multiple layers of mascara. It is also good not to forget about groomed
a make-up artist
and highlighted eyebrows, you can easily add some hue with an eyebrow
pencil or shadows. Since glasses subtly cover the eyes and the make-up, you don’t have to be
afraid to use a bolder lipstick. And apply blusher so that it’s actually visible!” advises Tereza
Škrbková, a beautician and a make-up artist from the studio Bomton Brumlovka.
“Women who use make-up must make sure they remove their make-up thoroughly and carefully every night. They should only use make-up removers that don’t irritate the eyes. Women
who suffer from inflammation of the eyelids should not, in the acute stages of the condition, use
make-up at all and in the resting chronic stage always ensure that make-up is removed thoroughly combined with regular nightly eyelid hygiene through ophthalmic products intended for
this usage. Since eyelids are in direct contact with the surface of the eye, there is a possibility
of transition of the inflammation to conjunctiva and possibly even to the cornea, subsequently
causing red eye and significant subjective problems,” warns the ophthalmologist Dr. Markéta
Svobodová.
This year’s trend is natural and soft make-up, highlighted by different colours of lipstick.
“A big hit of the season is plum lipstick, but you can find other shades as well. Various shades of
orange or blood red will be trendy as well. Eyeshadows should be in tones of beige, light brown
or apricot. An interesting trend is unusual lines that frame the eye. They are suitable for evening
make-up. There is always the rule that if we have bold eye make-up, we need clean lips and vice
versa – bold lips and soft, natural eye make-up,” says the make-up artist Tereza Škrbková.

Hydrobike: a thousand
names, a thousand advantages!
Only a few sports activities are called so many different names; somewhere it
is called hydro riding, elsewhere aqua spinning, pool biking or aqua cycling but
everybody is talking about the same thing – riding a stationary bike in a pool.
Since the human body contains
60 per cent of water, it is also wa­
ter that is its most natural exercising
environment. The beneficial effect
of moving in water had already been
known to the ancients. The Greeks and
the Asians realized that, as one of the
elements, water is the most natural
thing to people after air; the Romans
then noticed its substantial healing
and therapeutic effects, for example
during arthrosis treatment. However,
water made its comeback as a remedy
only at the beginning of the eighteenth
century when the term hydrotherapy
first appeared. The German doctors,
father and son Siegmund and Johann
Siegmund Hahn, dedicated most of
their lives and work to hydrotherapy
as they considered water nature’s gre­
atest cure.
“Spinning” underwater
The modern history of water as the
ideal exercise environment for the
human body began in the United Sta­
tes of America. In the early fifties, do­
ing exercise in the water was much
promoted mainly by Jack LaLanne,
a fitness instructor, nutrition advisor,
and the father of fitness, who introdu­
ced aqua aerobics to the world. In the
eighties, spinning was born thanks to
the work of the South African Jonathan
Goldberg. It is said that the idea of
a stationary bicycle came to him when
he was recovering after a nasty acci­
dent and felt afraid to go back on the
road. He didn’t want to give up exerci­
se, however, so he put a bike into his
room. All that was left was combining
spinning and the water environment;
then the hydrobike was born. The place
of its origin is said to be a place called
Tribeca, a part of New ­York’s Manhat­
tan, from whence it spread quickly
around the world.
22
The seven biggest mistakes about hydro biking:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Hydro biking is a hard exercise which I can never do. Hydro biking isn’t hard at all if you
follow the trainer’s instructions. It is even suitable for older people and people suffering from
obesity or joint problems.
My hair will be wet after the class. No! Your hair won’t touch the water during the exercise
unless people splash water around.
I have to exercise barefoot. No, water shoes or non-slip socks are recommended as you
shouldn’t pedal barefoot. It could affect the feet’s centre of gravity, which would be unnatural
and uncomfortable during the exercise.
Each hydro biking class is the same. It is not! This depends on the instructor who takes care
of everybody having fun and not being bored while riding a bike in a pool.
I will be cold in the water. You won’t if you keep moving. The temperature of the water in the
pool is pleasant for physical exercise – if you get warmed-up the water is nicely refreshing.
My muscles will ache the next day. As with every sport, this depends on whether you do
regular exercise. However, the water environment makes the exercise much easier so you
won’t overdo it as if „on land“.
B AL ANCE CLUB BRUML OV K A
We talked to Sylva Přechová
about the specifics of hydro biking
How is hydro biking different
from spinning?
Spinning follows the music’s rhythm but this would be impossible
in a pool due to the water’s resistance. The music here works as
positive motivation during the
exercise. During a hydro biking
class, the water reaches up to your
chest so you work your lower body
as well as your upper body. We often use fitness tools, too, for example dumbbells or gloves. We also get off the bike in the pool and
use it as a support for other kinds of workout and stretching.
How is the hydro bike different from a spinning bike?
The bike’s frame is stainless and the load here is the water’s resistance which you can regulate with a tap. The bike is attached
to the bottom of the pool with suction pads so that it is stable
and can be used for other kinds of exercise, not just the pedalling motion.
How warm is the water during your hydro biking
classes?
In our pool, the standard temperature of the water is 27.5 to 28
degrees Celsius which is comfortable for recreational as well
as workout swimming and water activities in general.
Better and more effective
Compared to its sister variation on
dry land, the hydrobike offers a num­
ber of advantages. The water reaches
at least up to one’s waist so the whole
lower body works underwater. Peda­
lling underwater works completely
different muscle groups than spinning
and, due to water resistance, it is very
effective. But that’s not all! Accor­
ding to the latest research, exercising
underwater affects positively both our
muscular system and mental health.
Many people will be happy to confirm
that riding a spinning bike underwater
is much more fun than on land. And
which exercise is better than the one
that makes you smile?
Prevention and rehabilitation
After a single hour of hydro biking, the
human body burns up to 800 calories;
moreover, the water pressure positi­
vely affects blood circulation and the
whole exercise boosts fat burning.
Hydro biking is also a powerful ally in
the fight against cellulite as the water
acts as a natural massage tool and has
a wholesome effect on the lymphatic system. People who
suffer from pain and numbness in their legs and lower body
will benefit from staying and exercising in the water, too, as
reducing the load on the lower body improves blood circula­
tion. Hydro biking is not only a good prevention but it is also
suitable as a rehabilitation exercise for pain in joints and
after various leg injuries.
Physical and mental health
What clothes does one need for hydro biking?
We always exercise in a swimsuit which has to be comfortable.
Very important are water shoes or at least non-slip socks as
pedalling barefoot is not comfortable underwater.
How often do you do hydro biking at Balance Club
Brumlovka?
At the moment, we offer classes three times a week with fourteen bikes available.
There is another great benefit to spending time in the wa­
ter. As you don’t put the whole weight of your body on the
muscles, you don’t feel almost any muscle pain or fatigue
the next day. The joints, too, are strained less than during
a regular spinning class – underwater, there is no undesi­
rable contact between bones, joints, and muscles, which mi­
ght cause pain or injury. Furthermore, hydro biking impro­
ves your breathing capacity which in turn improves oxygen
distribution to the muscles when breathing.
There are more than just physical benefits, however. Who­
ever tried hydro biking can confirm that exercising under­
water is especially great at reducing stress and that one
sleeps better after the classes.

Superfoods
are beneficial
for your health
The term “superfoods” that is being used
more and more these days, entails a very
long list of various foodstuffs. There is,
however, no official medically-proven
definition of what it actually means. What,
then, makes them so “super”?
The common denominator of these heroes among
foodstuffs is an exceptionally high content of nutri­
ents that are naturally included and have a much more
positive effect on our health than individual isolated nu­
trients or industrially manufactured food supplements.
It still holds true that the best way to ensure a balanced
food intake for optimal physical fitness is a diet based on
a high variety of food. However, the proportion of nutri­
ents contained in food such as fresh vegetables has been
steadily declining due to the deteriorating environment
and exhausted soil. The inclusion of quality superfoods
coming mainly from organic agricultural production is,
therefore, a good choice for all who like to think about
their diet in a broader context.
Young barley
Green barley is harvested at an early
stage when it contains the highest
amount of nutrients. It acts as a base,
slows down cellular aging, can be
used against constipation, helps du­
ring mobility, respiratory and cardio­
vascular problems, skin problems, sleeping disorders or im­
paired concentration. It also helps control blood sugar and
cholesterol levels and inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
TIP: By mixing crushed young barley with water, you
can create a beverage full of biologically active natural
substances that protect the body on many levels. Thus
one green smoothie is so rich in nutrients that it can
replace one meal a day.
Sea buckthorn
Sea buckthorn is especially rich in vitamin C which is 10
times higher in content than in oranges. It contains a wide
range of vitamins – A, D, F, K and the B group vitamins, as
well as minerals, rutin that is beneficial for blood vessels
and also a substance called hippophein, which the body
converts into the “happiness hormone” serotonin.
TIP: Mix the freshly squeezed juice of sea buckthorn (which contains the
highest amount of valuable substances that are destroyed if heated) with
a quality liquid honey and store in a dark and cold place. Use one teaspoon
of the sea buckthorn honey a day to boost your immunity.
Chinese boxthorn/wolfberry (goji)
These red berries which the Chinese have been using
as a remedy for two thousand years contain 18 types of
amino acids, including the essential ones that cannot
be created by our body, more than twenty micronutri­
ents, B vitamins and the vitamins C and E. Thanks to
the unique group of polysaccharides (Lycium), box­
thorn strengthens the body’s immune system and slows down the aging
process. Boxthorn also supports the proper functioning of kidneys and liver,
lowers blood pressure, heals skin diseases such as psoriasis and can soothe
tired eyes.
TIP: You can eat wolfberries raw or add them to salads, rice, homemade granola or soup broths. Softened, water-soaked wolfberries can be mixed into
cocktails with for example a banana or other favourite fruit.

Cashew nuts
Thanks to linoleic acid, vitamin E and a high content of B vi­
tamins and minerals, nuts are ideal for those who strain their
brain and nervous system. Cashew nuts are rich in iron, so ea­
ting them is desirable during states of fatigue and poor con­
centration. There are also carotenoids that have a positive
effect on skin, mucous membranes and eyes.
TIP: Soak cashew nuts in lukewarm water for about 2 hours. When they get soft,
puree them with a bit of water until you get a smooth mash. You can use the mash
as a basis for a fruit dessert, instead of cream for soups or you can flavour it with
herbs and onion and get a delicious spread.

Chia seeds
Fruits of the plant salvia hispanica, small, black or white seeds
with a slightly nutty flavour, were already known and culti­
vated by the Mayans and the Aztecs. Thanks to a high content
of proteins, calcium, potassium, fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and
antioxidants, the chia seeds are considered one of the leading
­superfoods.
The seeds excel mainly in the ability to absorb fluids. If you exercise, you will appreci­
ate their ability to prolong the state of hydration and the ability to supply your body with
stamina and vitality, especially during extremely long running performances.
TIP: Chia seeds themselves don’t have any taste, so you can add them to yogurts,
salads, oatmeal or fruit and vegetable juices. They are also excellent in pastry or homemade granola bars. From the chia seeds you can also create a tasty pudding; just
pour them in a pureed mixture of milk, oats, banana and honey and leave everything
overnight in a refrigerator to swell.

Peruvian Maca
The positive effects of the maca root powder were already
known to the Incas. It contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C and
E, micronutrients, a large amount of amino acids, fatty acids
and other beneficial substances that can improve physical and
mental health. It’s also sometimes called “Peruvian Ginseng”
for its ability to strengthen the body, replenish energy and im­
prove stamina and reproductive fitness.
TIP: The powder can be mixed into your morning beverage or directly into your
food – porridge, pudding, sauces, smoothies, etc.
Quinoa
This traditional South American plant resembles couscous
because of its spherical grains and is one of the true nutritio­
nal bombs. It contains a lot of protein, folic acid, minerals and
micronutrients and a variety of vitamins, such as vitamin C,
B2 – riboflavin and B1 – thiamine, which is desirable during
periods of stress and physical exertion. Thanks to the fibre,
it is easily digestible, and because it doesn’t contain gluten, it is also suitable for
coeliacs.
TIP: Quinoa can be prepared as a sweet variety with honey and fruit, as well as
savoury with vegetables and spices. Quinoa is especially delicious prepared with
mustard salad dressing, chopped dried fruit, chopped roasted walnuts and celery.

Fresh food
and fresh air
Do you share the feeling that breakfast, lunch or dinner on warmed grass tastes
different from eating within four walls? While eating outdoors, we may have to
fight some uninvited guests like ants or wasps but the feeling of freedom richly com­
pensates for all the discomfort, whether you are having a weekend picnic or have just
popped out from work to the nearby park.
BB Centrum offers many places where you can buy a healthy takeaway meal as well
as places where you can eat it quietly. Clean and tidy parks in the surroundings and
green roof terraces with a view of Prague are perfect for this and in warm weather they
present inviting places to spend a lunch break in the fresh air.
FRESH BAR UGO:
THE MELON SEASON
The fresh bar UGO has prepared an outside seating for this season where you can sit and enjoy both the beautiful summer days and
healthy food. The local, always fresh fruit, vegetable, and yoghurt ­salads
are always a great choice for a light refreshing lunch. You can also have
ice added to your favourite drink on your request. Melon, strawberries,
and mint will be the hit of this season. Meals taste best under the open
sky on sunny days, come and see for yourself.
EXPRESS DELI: BARBECUE
WITH COLLEAGUES
EXPRESS DELI offers an unusual experience
for the summer which will surely liven up your
company events – a barbecue directly at the
workplace. Discuss this with your colleagues
and order an EXPRESS DELI barbecue at the
roof terrace or a piazzetta as part of training,
teambuilding, party, brainstorming, or just for
a lunch. EXPRESS DELI provides everything
necessary – they bring a professional grill, order quality meat by a proven supplier, prepare
all the popular side dishes made of seasonal ingredients, mix fresh vegetable salads, and make
delicious sauces. Those with a sweet tooth can
choose from a variety of home-made standard
desserts as well as smart mini-desserts. Of course, a wide selection of soft and alcoholic drinks
including home-made lemonades with fresh
herbs is available as well.

Adventures for fathers and their
children planned by specialists
Alena, 25, works at the BB Centrum; when she reminisces about her father, a smile plays
upon her face. He didn’t spend much time at home but as soon as he entered the room, he
always became fully involved in children’s games. “Mum looked after us but we basically
had all adventures with him,” Alena thinks back to her and her sister’s childhood.
Their father used to come up with various treasure
hunts, playing at Indians, they built castles together
first made of building blocks, later of Lego. He taught them to
climb trees, swim, and ride a bike... And sometimes, he came
up with ideas which made other people’s hair stand on end.
“Only now, when I have my own children, can I appreciate
that mum had to take care of many other things like the sho­
pping list, the laundry or the dinner. Dad was never bothered
by that,” Alena laughs.
Her partner is a lot like that although he is a whole genera­
tion away from Alena’s father. He has a heavy workload and
finds it very difficult to find more time for his family in his
tight schedule. However, once in a while he reserves a free
weekend and does his best to spend every spare minute
with his children.
Fathers are swamped with work
That is true in many modern families. Fathers find it hard to
spend time with their children although they are involved in
their upbringing and care much more than they used to be.
About a third of fathers take part in the everyday activities
related to childcare, and the interest in active fatherhood is
rising every year among the young generation.
This figure is drawn from research called The Forms of Fa­
therhood in the Czech Republic organised by the Ministry of
Labour and Social Affairs five years ago. This research showed
that three quarters of fathers were happy with the time spent
with children and they often answered that they liked plan­
ning their children’s spare time. (An interesting point: 93 % of
28
the addressed fathers agreed with the
statement that “Children are the best
thing that ever happened in my life.”)
And children appreciate the time
spent with their dads, just like Alena
did. Our survey “Fathers and Children”
is good proof of this as well (see the
box on the right). The common trait of
their common experiences is the more
lenient approach of fathers, more crea­
tive solutions to problems, and a more
genuine interest in the children’s ad­
ventures.
Fathers don’t think about setting out
lightly dressed, without checking the
weather forecast in much detail. They
resolve crises as they come. And yet,
children come home excited – in spite
of their rumbling stomachs, wet shoes,
and chilled hands.
An original programme
requires energy and a plan
The ambitions of fathers are quite ob­
vious – to pass on their experience and
knowledge to their children. They like
teaching them to ride a bike, in-line
skating, swimming; they do sports to­
gether or go to the mountains. They
don’t have much time to spare but they
won’t miss such moments with their
children. They want to be there for their
first successes and see their trium­
phant smiles.
However, it takes more time and
energy to think up and arrange a more
demanding programme. In cases like
that, there are “fun experts” to help.
They have ideas, they take care of all
formal necessities, and they arrange
a safe carefree space for family enter­
tainment.
ELLIOT KLUB, a travelling club fo­
cuses on programmes for fathers and
children among other things. “We make
looking after children easier and at
the same time, we provide shared relaxation and an active
holiday,” says Eva Junková from the agency managing the
club. “We want to entertain both fathers and children and
offer new things to them, to stimulate children’s playfulness,
creativity, and competitiveness, to show them and their
closest new places and points of interest,” she continues and
adds that part of the “package” are benefits, discounts, and
special events for the club members only.
Everybody who takes part in some of the club’s trips be­
comes a member automatically. These trips are made not
only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. They have
­various forms, too – they can be thematic and longer week­
ends, and the agency organises suburban summer camps
just for the children.
An interesting speciality will be the upcoming men and
women parties for mums and dads without their children.
The club doesn’t forget grandparents either and various
activities are planned for them.
Fathers and children
We asked some of the children what they enjoy most
about the shared moments with their dads. Their
answers are inspiring.
Tadeáš, 8: My dad likes the band U2. When we ride
a car, we listen to their CDs and we’ve also been to their
concert once.
Jana, 12: Dad made a kind of an obstacle course at our
cottage where we move hand over hand on a rope, climb
trees and hop on one leg.
Petra, 6: Dad is teaching me to swim so that we can ride
a boat along the Lužnice river in the summer. We always
have much fun in the swimming pool because we go on
the water slide.
Míša, 7: At the weekends, we build Lego figures with my
dad and then make up a film about them and shoot it on
a phone.
Jakub, 10: When the weather’s nice, we go on a trip
with dad and sleep in a tent. We follow a map, not the
one in the phone but a paper map and a compass, too.
My dad is teaching me how to use it.
Eva, 9: My dad takes me to a climbing wall and teaches
me to climb. He promised that we can try a real rock
climb in the summer if I’m doing well.

NURSERY SCHOOL
ELLIOT KLUB: SUMMER TIPS
With the club, dads with kids can spend a weekend in the saddle, go canoeing, follow the trail of
Winnetou, the Apache chief, try out a “military” camp for little tough guys or tame kites during
family kite flying.
ELLIOT KLUB also offers sports events where children can learn a given sport and borrow the
necessary equipment.
Following Winnetou’s trail
Do your children love stories about the dauntless Apache chief and his white brother, Old Shatter­
hand? In Dalmatia, Croatia, they can experience many of the Indian adventures personally –
an Indian dance by the fire with friends, cooking in a kettle, lassoing or shooting with a bow. Led
by the chief, they can walk on a path of courage, spend a night in a teepee like true Indians, and
much else besides.
Would you like a nursery school for your children
that offers individual care within small groups, puts
an emphasis on a healthy lifestyle and the development of mathematical thinking and creativity? And
close to work on top of that? The Elijáš Christian
Nursery School, residing directly in the BB C
­ entrum,
Za Brumlovkou 4, offers last spots for three to sixyear old children for the next school year.
Although the nursery school follows the principles
of Christian upbringing, children don’t have to come
from religious families. It is intended for groups of
twenty children at most and one if its biggest advantages is education following the Hejny method of
pre-teaching mathematics; this method stimulates
the mind, imagination, mathematical thinking and
the effort to experiment and discover as well as social behaviour and communication skills.
Children in the Elijáš Christian Nursery School
live an active life – they take part in a swimming
course, a summer stay in the mountains, thematic
trips or English classes. The preparation for elementary school is diverse and includes co-operation with
a speech therapist.
The school fee is CZK 4,000 a month; meals
are paid separately. For more information, visit
www.mselijas.cz.
Military camp
If you don’t want to go all the way to Croatia but wish to go on an adventure just round the corner,
you can. ELLIOT KLUB will build a “peace military family camp” in the Slapy summer resort
where the kids will get a taste of real action.
One must expect that the children will get sweaty, dirty, and tired during the “training” so pink
summer dresses and designer clothes should be left at home. This is about discipline, training,
tactics, getting stronger and toughening up. Children will learn to creep, to find their way off the
paths, work as a team, and brave the path of courage. “Fathers will be duly proud of their children
and no doubt they will be happy to take part as well. There are also trips to interesting places,
a boat ride or a barbecue by a campfire prepared for the campers,” Eva Junková adds.

2015
When? August 16th to September 3rd,
2015
Where? Letenské sady, Prague 7
During the eleven years of its existen­
ce, the Letní Letná festival has been
bringing the best of the world and local
circus. This year’s extraordinary perfor­
mances, the likes of which had not been
seen in the festival’s history, will be pre­
sented to the Czech audience between
August 16th and September 3rd by two
major stars: the best known British new
circus company NoFit State Circus and
the French company Compagnie Raspo­
so. Besides the two star appearances
above, the festival will bring more new
circus companies, motion theatre com­
panies and clowns, both local and from
abroad, performances for children, art
and circus workshops, and a chance
to have a sit-down at a nice café which
turns into a busy bar every night.

Where? Troja Chateau, U Trojského zámku 1, Prague 7
The exterior and interior of the Troja Chateau presents the work of an outstan­
ding artist who transcends the limits of glass-making in many ways and even
touches upon a number of environmental and architectural issues. He is a pio­
neer in the use of optical glass, the basic material for the construction and crea­
tion of optical components, which he has taken from the world of technology and
science and applied to the world of art. Thanks to this method, he is able to create
objects which optically absorb and dynamize the surrounding world. The lumi­
no kinetic element is permanently present in a great number of his works, be it
mediated by glass, polished metal, water surface or their combination. The Troja
exhibition places emphasis on the interaction of works of art with the baroque
setting of the chateau and its gardens. Existing works or art can be seen here in
new perspectives as well as new pieces made for this occasion.

Book
What? Jo Nesbø: Krev na sněhu
[Blood on Snow] (Kniha Zlín)
When? Out on June 19th, 2015
Blood on Snow is the first part of
a duology written by Jo Nesbø under
the pen name of Tom Johansen. The
author’s real name is revealed on the
book’s cover, however. After the Harry
Hole series has ended, the readers get
to visit Oslo of the seventies with Olav
Johansen, a simple man who is not
good at anything else besides killing
people. He tried robbing a bank, pim­
ping or collecting debts but to no avail.
Although he visits the library often,
he is dyslexic, bad at sums, and falls
in love easily. However, he is a great
shot. He is a contract killer but one with
a flaw – a heart in the right place. Olav is
sympathetic to his victims, even helps
some of them, and he is just – so much
so that he is caught up in his own chari­
ty when he gets a new contract – to kill
the boss’s wife.

Investing in a car? Yes!
Mirek Cipra,
INVEST ENGINE
32
Although nine out of ten financial analysts confirm
that investing in a car ranks among the less profitable
kinds of investment, but there are exceptions to this rule.
That is, if you choose an older car carefully, its value can
multiply within a few years. This strategy was adopted
by INVEST ENGINE s. r. o., a company newly based at the
underground of public car park of BRUMLOVKA building.
This company provides unique Ferrari youngtimers as
a form of investment. Youngtimers or modern classics are
cars younger than classic cars but there is no precise age
limit. We generally consider as youngtimers vehicles of
twenty to twenty-five years.
The Ferrari cars sold by this company are unique. “They
are cars made in small series, for example only in their
hundreds, and there are only a few of them on the roads
now,” says Mirek Cipra from INVEST ENGINE s. r. o. He also
says that it is no easy task to get such a car nowadays. “The
cars we buy need to be in very good condition but they
also need to have perfect documentation and servicing
and operating history. These are the cars we offer and their
value is slowly rising, even by tens of per cent each year in
case of certain models.”
“Unfortunately, people here aren’t used to these kinds of in­
vestments yet,” Mirek Cipra elaborates on investing in cars.
“Of course, there are private collections but their owners usu­
ally don’t sell their cars. It seems that investing two or three
million [Czech crowns] in a car is too much money but peo­
ple don’t realize that three million can become five in a year!
This means that, for the time being, most of our clients are
investors from Western Europe. First we advertise the cars
on European websites and then buyers get in touch with us of
their own accord,” Mirek Cipra describes the business.
Visiting INVEST ENGINE is a very interesting experience
for every car lover. At the moment, there are several unique
models to be seen, for example the Ferrari 328 GTS Turbo
with only 828 made, Ferrari 512 TR of which just 2,280 ro­
lled of the production line, Ferrari 208 GTB Turbo with 437,
or Ferrari 348 GTS of which only 137 were made!!
INVEST ENGINE also offers half-a-year-old BMW cars
with a mileage of under 5,000 kilometres. These are fair­
ly new cars with a full warranty which come from auctions
all over Europe and are supposed to impress the buyer with
their price. “Selling Ferrari is not just a business but also an
interesting form of marketing. These cars attract attention
and that brings BMW buyers as well,” Mirek Cipra conclu­
des.
