  This was a plenary talk at the 19th Conference of Slovak Physicists reviewing
the status, consequences, and prospects of the 125-GeV boson discovery. To
illustrate a possible impact of the discovery on the strongly-interacting
extensions of the Standard Model the preliminary results of the analysis of the
top-BESS effective model with the 125-GeV scalar boson added were shown. The
complete analysis has appeared recently in arxiv:1301.2124.
