Suoraa puhetta johtaa Maria Pettersson. Keskustelijoina ovat Ruben Stiller, Kaarina Hazard ja Taru Tujunen. Ruben Stiller tarttuu tällä hetkellä kovin ajankohtaiseen aiheeseen, Elokapinan mielenosoituksiin. Mitä ajattelette tämän viikon mielenosoituksista? Missä kulkee teidän mielestänne kansalaistottelemattomuuden raja? Onko Elokapinan mielenosoitukset tehokasta toimintaa ilmastonmuutoksen vastaisessa taistelussa? Kaarina Hazard peräänkuuluttaa keskustelua siitä, millainen Nato maa Suomi on. Puolustusministerimme Antti Häkkänen sanoi eilen, ettei tulevien vuosikymmenten jättimäisistä puolustusmenolisäyksistä nyt ehditä jutella. Ei summista, käyttökohteista, ei sisällöstä ollenkaan. Natoon liittymisen piti suojella meitä, antaa rentoutta ja rauhaa. Miksi näyttää siltä, että sen sijaan jäsenyys vei meidät sotatilaan, jossa käskyjä ei tarvitse perustella, niitä on vain toteltava. Onko suomalainen demokratia niin heikko, että sille voi sanoa turpa kiinni? Mitä ajattelette tästä? Taru Tujusen aiheena on kotiopetus. Taru kertoo kotiopetuksen olleen laillista Suomessa iät ajat. Alun perin 1900-luvun alkupuolella kotiopetus oli yleisempää, erityisesti maaseudulla, missä koulut saattoivat olla kaukana. Nykyinen kotiopetuksen säätely perustuu perusopetuslakiin, joka tuli voimaan 1999. Lain mukaan oppivelvollisuus voidaan täyttää kotiopetuksella, jos opetus on "opetussuunnitelman mukaista ja riittävää". Merkittävä muutos tapahtui 2010-luvulla, kun kotiopetuksen aloittaminen yksinkertaistui - aiemmin tarvittiin kunnan lupa, mutta nykyään riittää vanhempien ilmoitus. Kansainvälisestä näkökulmasta katsottuna Suomi on melko liberaali kotiopetuksen suhteen - monissa maissa se on joko kielletty tai tiukemmin säännelty. Käytännössä kotiopetuksessa olevia lapsia on Suomessa suhteellisen vähän, mutta määrä on ollut kasvussa, erityisesti korona-ajan jälkeen. Mitä mieltä olette, onko kotiopetus uhka vai mahdollisuus? Edelläkävijyyttä, vai ajasta jäänyt perinne?

In this episode of The Effective Statistician, Alun Bedding takes the mic to explore one of the most underrated yet transformative tools in any professional's career—networking. With the PSI Conference happening, this episode offers timely insights into how statisticians—introverts and extroverts alike—can use networking to build meaningful professional relationships, accelerate their careers, and find support within the broader community. Alun shares personal anecdotes, including how a casual conversation with Alexander at a past PSI event led to his current guest host role, and outlines a step-by-step mindset and strategy for networking with authenticity and purpose.

Stāsta Latvijas Universitātes Akadēmiskās bibliotēkas Rokrakstu un reto grāmatu nodaļas vadītāja, vadošā pētniece Aija Taimiņa. Siļķes, šaujampulveris, medus, skābēti kāposti, vīns, alus, eļļa, labība, tauki, ogles, degvīns un viskijs, un apelsīni, un grāmatas… Vai varat atminēt, kas vieno visu  uzskaitīto (un vēl arī nepieminēto)? Ja tirgus precei ilgi jāglabājas un jādodas tālā ceļā, bez piemērota un droša iepakojuma neiztikt. Ozola muca gadsimtiem ilgi ir kalpojusi kravu transportam – pa ūdensceļiem pārvietojās mucām piekrautas liellaivas un kuģi, pa zemesceļiem preci mucās veda smago ormaņu pajūgi. Muca ir sen zināms, standartizēts svara un tilpuma mērs, tās lielumu un formu noteica uzglabājamā produkta veids. Dažādas mucas apraksta seni vēstures avoti. Mucā varēja pārlaist naktis, pat dzīvot, kā vēsta leģenda par antīko grieķu filosofu kiniķi Diogenu un imperatoru Aleksandru Lielo. Tiesa, Diogēna muca (dolia), visdrīzāk, bija darināta no māla. Jūlijs Cēzars licis ar katapultām mest degošas mucas aplenktajās pilsētas, lai izraisītu ugunsgrēkus, savukārt Marseļas aizstāvji laiduši virsū degošas mucas aplencējiem. Alpos, gallu ciemos redzētās triju veidu koka dēlīšu mucas pirmais aprakstījis romiešu dabaszinātnieks Plīnijs Vecākais. Viduslaikos mucenieku amata meistari prata izgatavot dažāda veida mucas lielā skaitā, turklāt katru mucu meistars marķēja ar savu zīmi, tā garantējot sava darba kvalitāti. Rīgā mucu meistaru pienākumus un mucinieku amata jeb kompānijas (cumpanye van deme bodekwerke) kārtību jau kopš 1375. gada noteica šrāga (der bodeker schra). Rīgas meistariem bija jāprot izgatavot triju lielumu mucas. Mucu izmantošana grāmatu, pergamenta rokrakstu un dokumentu ruļļu transportam ir mazāk zināms, mūsdienās pat mulsinošs grāmattirdzniecības vēstures jautājums. Līdz ar grāmatu iespiešanas sākotni (Mainca, 1450) Eiropā spēji palielinājās iespiesto grāmatu kopskaits, tika dibinātas jaunas tipogrāfijas un atvērti jauni grāmatu veikali un  izdevniecību pārstāvniecības. Pirmajos 50 grāmatiespiešanas gados Eiropā tika  izveidotas 282 tipogrāfijas, kurās iespieda aptuveni 29 000 izdevumus, katru no tiem iespieda daudzos (100–300) eksemplāros. Eiropu pārpludināja aptuveni pusmiljons  (550 000) iespiestu grāmatu; tās pirka un pārdeva, grāmatu tirdzniecības apgrozījums pieauga daudzkārt. Grāmatas tirgoja veikalos, grāmatsietuvēs un pilsētu gadatirgos. Frankfurtes grāmatu gadatirgus (Buchmesse) ir visvecākais un slavenākais grāmatu gadatirgus jau 500 gadus. Dažāda lieluma, bieži samērā smagu grāmatu pārvietošana bija visai nopietns jautājums. Grāmatu papīrs vai pergaments ceļojuma laikā nedrīkstēja ciest – aizvākota, noblīvēta muca labi sargāja no mitruma un cita veida bojājumiem.   Ar grāmatu pārdošanu un transportēšanu no un uz gadatirgiem nodarbojās īpaši specializējušies pārvadātāji–grāmatu tirgotāji jeb ceļojošie grāmatu vedēji (Buchführer). No drukas kungiem (proti, tipogrāfiem) saņemtās grāmatas varēja pārvietot saiņos (Ballen), kastēs un mucās, iepakoto preci nodeva pārvadātāju (smago ormaņu vai kuģinieku) rīcībā, turklāt pēc saņemšanas iztukšotā grāmatu muca bija jāatgriež tirgotājam. Grāmatu tirgotāji redzami vien pāris 16. un 17. gs. attēlos. Zīmējums Nirnbergas amatnieku brālības piemiņas grāmatā (att.) rāda vietējo grāmatu vedēju Hansu Kepneru (Keppner, +1543), kas septiņus gadus darbojies amatā. Kepners liek vidēja lieluma grāmatas visai augstā, stīpotā mucā. Cits attēls liecina, ka grāmatu muca varēja būt zema un plata. Tādu mucu grāmatu tirgotāju veikala noliktavā 1698. gadā redzējis vācu gravieris Kristofs Veigels (Weigel), kurš attēloto ainu pavadījis ar pamācošu, pārdomu pilnu dzejolīti: "Grāmatu tirgotājs ved jums gudrības dārgumus, atrodiet  vietu labām grāmatām. Kas gan še ir cilvēka miesa? / Ceļinieka manta zūdīga, visos laikos, / blīvi apdrukāts papīrs, / grāmata, rūpestos iesieta; ar to tirgojas nāve un laiks, / līdz beidzot mūžība izpako." Abi attēli liecina, ka mucās blīvi pakotas jau iesietas grāmatas. Nirnbergas grāmatu vedējs kārto mucā atbilstoši vācu renesanses gaumei iesietas grāmatas ar melnu un sarkanu ādu pārvilktos koka vākos ar slēdžiem un apkalumiem. Tomēr jāzina, ka grāmatu vedēji un tirgotāji parasti transportēja neiesietas grāmatas, pircējs pats pēc savas gaumes un rocības pasūtīja un apmaksāja iesiešanu. Tāpēc mūsu bibliotēku krājumos atrodamas daudzas 15.–16. gs. Venēcijā vai Nirnbergā drukātas grāmatas, kuru iesējumi visdrīzāk darināti Rīgā. Tas arī saprotams, jo smagie koka vāki grāmatu mucas svaru stipri palielināja, bet muitas un tirgus nodevas bija atkarīgas no preces svara. Nav šaubu, ka ārzemju grāmatu tirgotāji 15.–17. gs. pārdeva savu preci Rīgas gadatirgos, bet Rīgas pirmais grāmatiespiedējs Nikolauss Mollīns 1599. gadā veda savus izdevumus uz Frankfurtes gadatirgu. Lai gan droši tas nav zināms, var pieņemt, ka pa laikam šīs grāmatas tika pārvietotas mucās. Laba, liela muca ir visādi noderīga. Muca glābj nelaikā pārsteigtus mīlniekus: Džovanni Bokačo “Dekamerona” (1348) 7. dienas novele stāsta, kā liela muca ļāva izmanīgai neapolietei apmānīt savu vīru un ļauties mīlas priekiem ar mīļāko. Mucā var paslēpties kopā ar savu “klarineti”, lai noklausītos citu runas. Uz mucas var pakāpties, lai dziedātu vakara dziesmu iemīļotajai, kā to gribēja  precēties kārais Dundurnieks Ādolfa Alunāna dziesmu spēlē “Mucenieks un muceniece” (1872). Un tā vien šķiet, ka asprātīgais latviešu teātra tēvs Alunāns vēlējies parādīt, ka viņam viduslaiku erotiskais stāsts par mucu ir zināms. No amatniekiem visiem ir Tas jautrāks mucenieks, Pie darba citi sten un pūš, Bet mūsu darbs ir prieks.                 (Ādolfs Alunāns. Mucenieks un muceniece)

Stāsta muzikoloģe, Latvijas Nacionālā rakstniecības un mūzikas muzeja mākslas eksperte Inese Žune  Skaņu pasaule Baumaņu Kārli saistījusi jau kopš bērnības, kad katru svētdienu tēvs noturēja sprediķi un lūgšanas, un zēns ar savu skanīgo balsi līdz ar visu saimi dziedāja baznīcas dziesmas. Vēlāk pamatus viņa muzikālajai audzināšanai ielicis Limbažu draudzes skolas skolotājs Šmits un elementārskolas skolotājs J. Oheims. Pēc Limbažu apriņķa skolas beigšanas jauneklis, neilgi strādājot par palīgskolotāju Valmierā, pats apguva klavierspēli un ar sava krusttēva, Limbažu mācītāja Karla Kristofa Noienkirhena (Carl Christoph Neuenkirchen, 1791–1855) atbalstu 18 gadu vecumā iestājās Jāņa Cimzes (1814–1881) vadītajā Vidzemes skolotāju seminārā Valkā, kur nopietni apguva harmoniju, kontrapunktu, kordziedāšanu, vijoles un ērģeļu spēli, visos priekšmetos iegūstot pašu augstāko novērtējumu. Arī uzsākot darba gaitas Pēterburgā, viņš paralēli skolotāja darbam gan pašmācībā, gan privāti pie dažādiem pedagogiem, turpināja savu muzikālo izglītību un radīja pirmās latviešu oriģināldziesmas. Kompozīciju Baumaņu Kārlis mācījies pie čehu diriģenta, ērģelnieka un komponista Voiteha Hlavāča (Vojtӗch Hlaváč,1849–1911 ), kurš jaunekli iepazīstinājis arī ar čehu nacionālajiem centieniem un tautasdziesmām. Iespējams, tā iespaidā arī Baumaņu Kārlis 19. gadsimta 60./70. gadu mijā veidojis kopskaitā ap 50 latviešu tautasdziesmu apdares. 1865. gadā Baumaņu Kārlis uzsācis arī  privātas klavierspēles studijas pie Pēterburgas konservatorijas profesora Franča Černija (Franz Czerny, 1830–1900), pie kura 80. gados mācījies arī Jāzeps Vītols un vēl daži latvieši. Lai apgūtu visus uzdotos pirkstu vingrinājumus, etīdes un nelielos skaņdarbus, Baumaņu Kārlim bija nepieciešams instruments. Reformātu baznīcas skolas piešķirtajā dzīvoklī Moikas ielā 36 bija pietiekami plašas telpas, lai komponists varētu tur novietot kabineta flīģeli, kā viņš to iezīmējis sava dzīvokļa plānojumā. Iegādājies Pēterburgas Dīderiha firmas (C.Diederich/ St.Petersbourg) brūni pulētās, ar palisandru finierētās klavieres, veiksmīgais skolmeistars sava pirkuma rezonatorā pašrocīgi iegravējis savu parakstu (C. Baumann) un datumu: 1868. gada 18. marts. Baumaņa dzīvoklī bieži pulcējās Pēterburgā dzīvojošie latvieši: studenti un kultūras darbinieki, kurus vienoja jaunlatviešu idejas un domas par nacionālās pašapziņas veidošanu. Viņu vidū bija Auseklis, Pēteris Gūtmanis, Jurjānu Andrejs, Kažoku Dāvis, Mārtiņš Remiķis, Māteru Juris u.c. Sanākušie lasīja dzeju, diskutēja, kopīgi dziedāja, bet mājastēvs kuplināja šīs sanāksmes ar klavieru improvizācijām. Ādolfs Alunāns rakstījis: "Šinī telpā pulcējušies latvju jaunie censoņi, tur Baumaņu Kārlis rakstījis mūsu tautas lūgšanu, tur viņš lasījis priekšā savas dzejas un spēlējis savas kompozīcijas, tur atskanējušas viņa patriotiskās dziesmas, tur dzimuši un veidojušies brīvības ideāli". (Alunāns Ā. Baumaņu Kārlis. Ievērojami latvieši. – Rīga/Jelgava1887, 1.burtnīca, 33.–36. lpp.) Rakstnieks Māteru Juris (1845–1885) raksturojis komponista dzīvokli šādi: "(..) Te valda savāds dailes gars. Pašā vidū ar zaļu vadmalu apklāts rakstāmais galds, uz tā divi gaišas sveces, bez tam istabas vidū gaiša lampa, pie vienas sienas jaukas, lielas klavieres, pie kurām jau tīri liels pulks latviešu kompozīciju cēlies. (Māteru Juris. Baumaņu Kārlis. Baltijas Zemkopis, 1879,  nr. 52). Kad 1882. gadā Baumaņu Kārlis dažādu iemeslu dēļ zaudēja darbu, viņam bija jāpamet arī Pēterburgas lepnais dzīvoklis un jāatgriežas Limbažos, uz Latviju ceļoja daudzas grāmatu un dokumentu kastes, kā arī viņa klavieres. Pēc komponista nāves 1905. gadā daļa viņa iedzīves nonāca izsolē un lepno flīģeli iegādājās ilggadējais Lēdurgas skolotājs Jānis Zvirgzdiņš (1880–1962). Instruments no Limbažiem tika nogādāts uz Turaidu, Zvirgzdiņu ģimenes māju "Kalniņi", kur tas atradies vairāk nekā 65 gadus, līdz par to uzzinājis toreizējā  Raiņa Literatūras un mākslas vēstures muzeja (tagad LN RMM)  speciālists Romāns Pussars (1932–2011) un kārtojis šo vēsturisko klavieru iegādi muzejam. Kā liecina muzeja krājumā saglabātie viņa rokraksti, sarakste ar toreizējo Latvijas PSR Kultūras ministriju ilgusi trīs gadus (RTMM 845909). Līdz 1972. gada 2. novembrī muzejs varēja šo instrumentu par 300 rubļiem atpirkt no pensionētās skolotājas Annas Zvirgzdiņas, kura to bija mantojusi no sava tēva. Baumaņu Kārļa klavieres tika eksponētas muzeja pastāvīgajā ekspozīcijā, taču padomju apstākļos netika minēts, kas ir to īpašnieks. Tikai pēc trīsdesmit pieciem muzejā pavadītiem gadiem instrumentam, uz kura Baumaņu Kārlis sabalsoja savu vēsturisko lūgsnu, kas kļuva par Latvijas Valsts himnu, tika  atdots pelnītais gods. 2007. gadā ar Valsts Kultūrkapitāla fonda atbalstu notika šī flīģeļa profesionāla un saudzējoša restaurācija, ko veica lietpratīgie meistari Alvis Melbārdis, Kārlis Rubenis un Imants Murziņš (1970–2016). Leģendārā latviešu pianiste Vilma Cīrule (1923–2018) ieskaņoja vēsturiskā instrumenta īpatnēji mīksto, dziedošo un mazliet aizplīvuroto skanējumu Baumaņu Kārlim veltītā albumā. Pats instruments ir vairākkārt eksponēts muzeja telpās, un 2018. gadā arī Latgales vēstniecībā "Gors", kur vēstījis savu stāstu par laiku, kad tapa mūsu valsts himna.  

​This week Rob Parsons speaks to one of the leading voices in the region, if not the country, on the all-important issue of how we can ensure everyone has a chance to succeed in life regardless of their background. The concept is also called social mobility, and in 2010 a body called the Social Mobility Commission was set up to hold the country and the Government of the day to account on whether things are actually improving in this respect. Its chair Alun Francis has years of experience on the ground trying to make the lives of young people better in the North. Currently, the Principal and Chief Executive of Blackpool and The Fylde College, he previously had the top job at Oldham College. It's the 15th anniversary of the Child Poverty Act this year, the legislation that brought the social mobility commission into being. So what better time to talk to Alun about why young people in the North are still being held back by where they're from, and importantly what we can do about it. The Northern Agenda is a Reach production, presented by Rob Parsons and produced by Daniel J. McLaughlin. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Stāsta muzikoloģe, Latvijas Nacionālā rakstniecības un mūzikas muzeja mākslas eksperte Inese Žune. Pēc mācībām Limbažu draudzes skolā Baumaņu Kārlis 1848. gadā nodots Limbažu vācu elementārskolā, kur mācības notika tikai vācu valodā un pat starpbrīžos audzēkņiem bija stingri aizliegts savā starpā sarunāties latviski. Sākumā Kārlim tas sagādāja grūtības, jo viņš iepriekš bija mācījies tikai latviešu valodā. Par kļūdīšanos ne reizi vien bija jāsaņem sāpīgs sitiens pa pirkstiem ar lineālu, bet pēc pusgada zēns jau brīvi lasīja un rakstīja vāciski. Pārsvarā vācu valodā mācības noritēja arī Vidzemes skolotāju seminārā, tā ka drīz vien tā kļuva par jaunekļa galveno valodu, jo tajā viņš gan domāja, gan rakstīja savas dienasgrāmatas un piezīmes, lai arī vienmēr jutās kā latvietis (Goluba, G. Baumaņu Kārlis. Rīga: Liesma, 1990). Paradoksāli, bet tieši vācu valoda vēlāk nodrošināja Baumaņu Kārļa materiālo pamatu, pavēra daudzas  aristokrātu durvis un deva iespēju strādāt ievērojamākajās mācību iestādēs. Arī par sievu Baumaņu Kārlis apņēma vācieti, grāfu cilts atvasi Mariju fon Viti (Maria Caroline Elisabeth von Witte, 1850–1907), un nu arī viņa ģimenes valoda bija vācu. Kad jaunais censonis 23 gadu vecumā ieradās Pēterburgā, izrādījās, ka Vidzemes semināra atestāts tam nepiešķir tiesības tur strādāt skolotāja darbu. Ar Jāņa Cimzes jaunākā brāļa Dāvida Cimzes (1822–1872) atbalstu viņš spēja pāris mēnešos sagatavoties mājskolotāja eksāmenam Pēterburgas Universitātē, ko nokārtoja izcili un saņēma par to arī apliecību. Dabas dotais pedagoga talants un perfektās vācu valodas zināšanas vairoja Kārļa reputāciju un pavēra privātskolotāja iespējas augstmaņu ģimenēs. Viņš bija arī Tautas izglītības ministrijas Pirmā departamenta direktora Nikolaja Rebindera (Николай Ребиндер, 1813–1865) bērnu mājskolotājs, kura mājās iepazinās ar Pēterburgas ievērojamiem cilvēkiem, māksliniekiem un valstsvīriem, tai skaitā ar vācu Otto fon Bismarku (Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck-Schönhausen, 1815–1898). 1860. gadā Baumaņu Kārlis iegūst arī ģimnāzijas skolotāja tiesības un sāk darbu par vācu valodas, zīmēšanas, kaligrāfijas un citu priekšmetu skolotāju Reformātu baznīcas skolā (Reformierte Kirchenschule), kas turpinās 21 gada garumā. Tā bija augsta līmeņa mācību iestāde ar ļoti plašu bibliotēku. Ideālu pārpilnajam skolotājam galvenās grūtības sagādāja muižnieku dēliņi, un viņam bija jāvalda pār sevi, lai nezaudētu darbu. Augstdzimušo atvases, tikušas prom no vecākiem, gribēja dzīvot brīvā vaļā un kāpt skolotājiem uz galvas. Tā laika piezīmēs Baumaņu Kārlis raksta, ka šie muižnieku dēliņi brauc tikai karietēs un var atļauties vai katru vakaru skriet uz operu vai teātri, bet naktis pavadīt vienās izpriecās. No rīta skolotājam tad sagurušie jaunekļi bija jādabū pie dzīvības, lai var atkal mācīties, „ko viņi, protams, tomēr nespēj” (Gailīte, Zane. Mūsu Baumaņu Kārlis. Rīga: Zvaigzne ABC, 2015). Reformātu baznīcas skolā Baumaņu Kārlim izveidojusies īpaša draudzība ar tās direktoru Dāvidu Margo, kurš pamudinājis talantīgo skolotāju ķerties pie vācu valodas mācību grāmatas rakstīšanas. 1865. gadā tika laista klajā Baumaņu Kārļa sastādītā grāmata „Elemente deutscher Schrift un Sprache” (Vācu rakstības un runas elementi). Baumaņu Kārlis Pēterburgā dzīvojis turīgi, jo skolotāja darbs tur bija prestižs un labi apmaksāts. Materiālie apstākļi ļāva apmeklēt teātrus, koncertus, pašizglītoties un baudīt Pēterburgas daudzveidīgo mākslas dzīvi. Turklāt Baumaņu Kārlis tika atzīts par izcilu vācu valodas skolotāju, par ko saņēmis divus ordeņus no Krievijas valdības: 1873. gadā Svētās Annas ordeni, bet 1878. gadā par panākumiem pedagoģiskajā darbā apbalvots ar Svētā Staņislava ordeni. Viņa jaunākās meitas Martas Pivovarunas (dz. Baumane, 1875–1965) dienasgrāmatā minēts, ka reiz pats cars Aleksandrs II esot apmeklējis Baumaņu Kārļa vadīto vācu valodas stundu Smoļnija Dižciltīgo jaunavu institūtā (Смольный институт благородных девиц), kur Baumanis strādājis no 1870. gada un bijis ar skolotāju ļoti apmierināts. Tādēļ Baumaņu Kārlis dažreiz aicināts pasniegt stundas arī cara tuviniekiem – lielkņazu ģimeņu atvasēm (Goluba, G. Baumaņu Kārlis. Rīga: Liesma, 1990). Savādi, bet savu latvietību Baumanis sajutis tieši caur vāciskumu, kurā viņš dzīvoja, jo Pēterburgā 60. gadu sākumā izveidojās latviešu progresīvās domas centrs. Te tautas labā varēja izdarīt daudz ko tādu, kas Baltijā tobrīd nebija iespējams (Goluba, G. Baumaņu Kārlis. Rīga: Liesma, 1990). Baumaņu Kārlis rosīgi iesaistījās Pēterburgas latviešu sabiedriskajā dzīvē. Viņa plašais dzīvoklis 19. gadsimta  60. un 70. gados bija radikālās latviešu inteliģences pulcēšanās un diskusiju vieta, iebraukušo latviešu salons un pajumte. Pats viņš bija Pēterburgas latviešu Lasāmās biedrības biedrs (1862–1865), “Pēterburgas Avīžu” līdzstrādnieks un piedalījās literārā Almanaha “Dunduru” tapšanā, kur vēršoties pret tumsonību, bizmaņiem un kārklu vāciešiem, lietojis visai spēcīgus izteicienus. Arī par savu galveno uzdevumu dziesmu sacerēšanā, viņš uzskatījis pievēršanos sava laika aktuālām, sabiedriski nozīmīgām un  patriotiskām tēmām. Viņa dziesmas, atšķirībā no pierakstiem, ir tikai latviešu valodā. Lai arī lielāko daļu savas dzīves Baumaņu Kārlis pavadījis vāciskajā kultūrvidē, viņš vienlaikus ir bijis cīnītājs par savas tautas pašvērtības un latviskās kultūras apzināšanos. Ādolfs Alunāns, raksturojot Baumaņu Kārli teicis, ka “viņa sirds karsti pukstēja priekš tēvijas un priekš visa, kas latvietim dārgs un svēts” (Alunāns, Ā. Baumaņu Kārlis. Ievērojami latvieši. Rīga/Jelgava, 1887).

Alun perin Suomen ETYJ-puheenjohtajuuskauden piti loihtia uudelleen esiin ”Helsingin henki”. Tehtävä vaikuttaa kuitenkin mahdottomuudelta sen jälkeen, kun Venäjä rikkoi perustavanlaatuisesti järjestön perussopimuksen pilareita hyökkäyksellään Ukrainaan helmikuussa 2022. Suomi on sanonut pj-kaudellaan painottavansa Etyjin periaatteiden kunnioittamista ja vahvistamista. Mitä se tarkoittaa käytännössä, kun lähtökohdat ovat oikeastaan täysin ristiriidassa tavoitteiden kanssa? Jaksossa haastateltavina tutkija Tyyne Karjalainen, ETYJ:llä Wienissä työskentelevä strateginen neuvonantaja Hanna Smith sekä ulkoministeriön ETYJ-sihteeristön apulaispäällikkö Toni Sandell. Jakson juontavat Annastina Haapasaari ja Jalmari Sarla. Jakso on toteutettu yhteistyössä ulkoministeriön kanssa.

Reunited, once again, for an episode filled with ancient mysteries! Alun's in his element, reliving his travels in Turkey, in particular the neolithic archaeological site of Göbekli Tepe. Created between 9600 and 8200 BCE, along with neighbouring Karahan Tepe, Göbekli Tepe is one of the oldest permanent human settlements ever discovered, resulting in the megalithic structures being dubbed the "world's first temple". Alun also explored the underground city of Derinkuyu, in the region of Cappadocia. This ancient multi-level labyrinth of tunnels and chambers once housed 20,000 people! Forget the hot air balloon rides and the acrophobia; suffer from claustrophobia instead! Alun's last stop was the ancient Greek city of Ephesus, including the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Alun recounts spending a full day meandering through the streets, marvelling at the well preserved city ruins. Tune in for ancient mystery and wonder, in an episide that asks more questions than it answers. What was Göbekli Tepe used for? Did the Christians dig the tunnels of Derinkuyu?

Abidjan, l'exposition (Re)Silence est en accès libre à la galerie LouiSimone Guirandou jusqu'au 4 janvier 2025. Pour sa première exposition personnelle en Côte d'Ivoire, le photographe sénégalais Alun Be dévoile son univers poétique et introspectif. Les dix œuvres de la série représentent la même petite fille dans un paysage côtier. Mise en scène dans une quête initiatique et onirique, avec un recours systématique aux métaphores et aux symboles, souligne Perfect Black, photographe lui aussi, mais venu assister au vernissage comme simple spectateur : « Je la décrirais comme une série épurée, narrative, introspective, visuellement, très agréable. C'est une sorte de voyage, on voit cette petite fille dans une interrogation sur elle-même. Au début avec sa robe rouge, isolée face à la mer… Puis, on la revoit pêcher des masques africains avec une canne à pêche. Après, on voit cette petite fille évoluer vers une robe blanche. C'est vraiment un parcours, un voyage, mais en évoluant, en se remettant en question, en naviguant. »Une quête personnelle, mais aussi universelle, d'où est tiré le titre de l'exposition, explique l'artiste Alun Be : « “(Re)Silence” veut tout simplement dire “retour au silence”. J'ai eu une belle carrière artistique qui m'a permis d'exposer un peu partout dans le monde, en Asie, en Amérique, en Europe, en Afrique. J'avais besoin, personnellement, de retourner à cet endroit où ma création était plus naïve, et du coup, plus authentique, plus sincère, plus honnête. Du coup, j'ai dû faire ce chemin en arrière, pour retourner à ce silence où tout a commencé. On passe tous par ces moments-là, où on se dit “j'ai cheminé, j'ai fait tant de kilomètres dans ma vie, et aujourd'hui, je me sens perdu et j'ai besoin de me retrouver, de revenir à quelque chose de plus… moi, tout simplement”. »Il se dégage de l'exposition une atmosphère feutrée, servie par une scénographie intimiste, où les murs sont peints en gris sombre et seules les photographies sont éclairées. Un choix de la galeriste, Gazelle Guirandou. « Pour chaque exposition, on a une scénographie différente. Et là, on a voulu repeindre pour créer une sensation d'intimité. Cette série est une série assez intime, qui a toute une histoire, donc la scénographie a été étudiée en conséquence. Ce qu'on essaie de proposer, c'est un certain parcours, pour pouvoir mieux apprécier ces œuvres. Ce parcours n'est pas obligatoire, bien sûr, mais la scénographie a été étudiée pour inviter les gens à suivre ce parcours. »La galerie LouiSimone Guirandou finira l'année avec cette exposition, prévue pour durer jusqu'au début du mois de janvier.

Voiko Venäjän naapuri pärjätä ilman henkilömiinoja? Pitäsikö Suomen irtautua jalkaväkimiinojen kieltosopimuksesta silläkin uhalla, että Suomi olisi mukana aiheuttamassa iskun aseistariisunnalle?

Miinoista keskustelevat eduskunnan puolustusvaliokunnan varapuheenjohtaja Mikko Savola (kesk.), kokoomuksen kansanedustaja, sotatieteiden tohtori Jarno Limnell ja vihreiden kansanedustaja Atte Harjanne.

Alun's been travelling for 12 months and was in need of a travel reset, so decided to rent an apartment in the trendy city of Tbilisi, Georgia.

It's the first episode of a new era, as we part ways and the podcast goes remote, again! The recording was fraught with technical issues and poor wifi connections, hence the creative video work! Alun's exploring Azerbaijan and discovering firsthand that not every country is backpacker-friendly.

Alun shares the highlight of his trip: visiting Gobustan, where he viewed the famous petroglyphs and rock art; carvings which are an incredible 40,000 years old! He also tells of a nightmare taxi ride involving a collapsed bridge and an intense altercation with the taxi driver which resulted in Alun receiving a bottle to the head! We'd love to hear from you!

And things get too close for comfort, as we encounter a late-night mystery beast. We're almost certain it was an enormous wolf. Or a donkey. Probably a wolf, though.
