Explosia, Czech chemical company specialized on explosives will not bring a suit against Madonna for using name of most world-known company product Semtex.

Explosia comes to a conclusion that Madonna by using a protected term Semtex in “Semtex girl” does not damages good name of product and company. Madonna says that Semtex girl means “explosive, dynamic, girl, who cannot be stopped, she does not accept “No” as an answer and she has exquisite mind.

Explosia mostly has a benefit from “Semtex girl”: Although the Semtex is now made in very small amount, the Explosia Internet pages has been more visited than usual.

New Prague Tram, what rides in trial time in area of Prague center has interior errors, says engineers. The tram should undergo interior changes. There is too small space for standing travellers in area with seats, so it makes walking through harder. This problem could be removed by adding one step into seat area.
Another change in compare with older models is front doors which are only for tram driver.

But technical problems are none, especially when we will compare new tram Porsche with new train Pendollino, which is know for large amount of errors.

Prague metro (underground) has a new station on green line A. It will have name Depo Hostivar and it’s continuing of line at Skalka station side. Line A will have 13 stations than.

The station will be opened 27th May 2006 and will bring changes for high number of buses, especially for out-of-city buses, because they will not end at Skalka station but at new Depo Hostivar station. This change will start 28th May and will make travelling in Kutna Hora direction faster and more fluent. Depo Hostivar will offer a parking lot in system P+R.

The cost of building of new station is 850 millions CZK and was slowed due long and cold winter.
