Lai arī Lorka Latvijas publikai ir zināms gan no teātra skatuves, gan Edvīna Raupa tulkotajām Lorkas lekcijām, kā arī Knuta Skujenieka atdzejojumā, Arvim Vigulam šis tulkojums ir prasījis teju 20 gadus un "Dzejnieks Ņujorkā" pilnā apjomā pie mums nonācis tikai tagad. Turpinot modernās dzejas melno sēriju, izdevniecība “Neputns” izdod Federiko Garsijas Lorkas krājums “Dzejnieks Ņujorkā” Arvja Vigula atdzejojumā. Spāņu dzejnieks Federiko Garsija Lorka (1898–1936) ieradās Ņujorkā 1929. gadā, 31 gada vecumā. Ņujorka, pirmā ārzemju pilsēta viņa dzīvē, atstāja uz dzejnieku ārkārtīgi spēcīgu iespaidu un lika radikāli mainīt poētisko stilu, “iztēles” dzejas vietā pievēršoties “iedvesmas” dzejai. Dzejoļi, kas tapa deviņu ASV (un trīs Kubā) pavadīto mēnešu laikā, iespējams, pat mulsināja autoru pašu un viņa dzīves laikā tā arī neiznāca vienotā krājumā, lai gan viņš reiz to minēja kā vienu no saviem svarīgākajiem poētiskajiem projektiem.

This recognition represents a significant milestone for a portfolio strategy that has been a cornerstone topic throughout Risk Parity Radio's 400+ episodes.The heart of the episode focuses on answering thoughtful listener questions about portfolio management techniques. Randy inquires about rebalancing frequency and whether to participate in Fidelity's securities lending program for gold ETFs. Frank explains that while rebalancing more frequently than once a year generally doesn't improve performance, coordinating semi-annual rebalancing with tax planning can be advantageous. As for securities lending, Frank shares his personal experience that these programs work smoothly but typically generate minimal income—setting realistic expectations for listeners considering this option.A particularly detailed discussion explores the nuances between traditional long-term treasury funds and STRIPS funds (GOVZ, ZROZ, EDV). Frank clarifies that STRIPS-based ETFs typically move at approximately 1.5 times the rate of standard long-term treasury funds when interest rates change, effectively functioning as a form of leverage. This characteristic makes them valuable tools for tax-loss harvesting or creating more efficient allocations by achieving similar interest rate sensitivity with smaller position sizes. Rather than focusing on market timing for transitions between these instruments, Frank emphasizes coordinating such moves with broader tax management strategies—practical advice that demonstrates how risk parity investors can implement sophisticated portfolio techniques while maintaining tax efficiency.Want to connect with other Risk Parity Radio listeners?

Edvīns Raups: Dzeja manī ir kā stihija, mani ārkārtīgi interesē vārdos nepasakāmais

Kopā ar dzejnieku Edvīnu Raupu studijā veram vaļā viņa jaunāko dzejoļu krājumu “Laiks ir jau ievilcies” un pārrunājam viņa skatījumu uz cilvēka esību, laiku un domu plūdumu. "visas mūsu sarunas ir kāda monologs" – šāds epigrāfs likts Edvīna Raupa dzejas grāmatai "Laiks ir jau ievilcies". Grāmatai arī izcils vizuālais tēls, ko veidojis scenogrāfs Aigars Ozoliņš. Pastāsti, lūdzu, par tām lapām grāmatā, kur ir mazliet miglā tīts viss, kur nevar izlasīt. Edvīns Raups: Tas tā laikam ir domāts, lai cilvēks mazlietiņ palauza galvu, kas tur ir iecerēts. Tā nebija mana koncepcija, mans piedāvājums, to izdomāja mākslinieks. Bet man iepatikās šī ideja tāpēc, ka arī tur ir savs noslēpumiņš klāt, un tu nevari īsti izdibināt, cik tā tas ir gribēts, tā iecerēts, un ciktāl tas ir nejauši. Tas ir tieši tā, kā dzejā tas mirklis, ko es vēlos noķert starp pierādāmo nepierādāmo, starp esošo neesošo, starp izdibināmo neizdibināmo. Visas šīs robežlīnijas man ir ārkārtīgi aktuālas. Un šajā ziņā tas noteikti sasaucas ar to. Vai tu tagad zini, kas ir dzeja? Edvīns Raups: Tas, protams, ir labs jautājums, kā mēdz atbildēt. Ikviens, es domāju, no tiem, kas raksta dzeju, vismaz viena liela daļa dzejnieku nedomā par to, ko viņi raksta tad, kad viņi raksta. Un, tā kā man jau ir izdevies nodzīvot līdz 62 gadiem, nav vairs tā dzejas rakstīšana, teikšu godīgi, tik aktuāla kā ikdienas sastāvdaļa. Tad, protams, atliek arī laiks kaut kam citam. Un tajā skaitā padomāt arī par to, kas ir dzeja. Bet atbildes uz šiem jautājumiem katru dienu savādākas. Man šķita, ka varbūt dzejā ir svarīgs tas nenoķeramais, tas, ko nevar izanalizēt. Piemēram, literatūrzinātnieki ņemtu tavu dzeju un analizētu burtu pa burtam. Edvīns Raups: Tas ir praktiski neiespējami. Tur varbūt ir tas skaistums. Bet galvenais jau ir, ka tu notver to mantu jau gatavu.  Es pastāstīšu savādāk, no citas puses, jo nākdams šurp, es arī mazliet apcerēju, kas ir dzeja, konkrēti Raupa dzeja šajā gadījumā. Un tad es sapratu, ka tā ir stihija. Manī tā ir stihija. Vai ir bijusi stihija, līdzīgi kā dabā mēdz teikt, ka ir četras stihijas, tad dzeja manī kā stihija, kā piektā stihija. Bet tā neatrodas ārpusē - dabā, bet tā atrodas manī. Viņa tur plosās un ārdās, viņi absolūti nekontrolējama, tāda, kāda tā ir.  Tad rodas jautājums: ko ar to darīt un kā to savaldīt? Vai to var savaldīt? Es domāju, ka, ja stihija ir kā uguns, tad savaldīt viņu ir grūti, viņu var mēģināt kontrolēt. Šis spēka stāvoklis, kas stihijai dabiskā kārtā piemīt, es teiktu, ļauj kaut kādā veidā savādāk uztvert pasauli. Tas ir ārkārtīgi būtisks aspekts, jo es domāju, ka dzejnieki tieši atšķiras savā starpā ar to, kā viņi uztver. Manā gadījumā tas ir, ka es vienmēr cenšos kaut kā..., vai arī man ir tā sajūta, ka es esmu kāda cita nolikts uz šīs robežas starp izdibināmo neizdibināmo, jo mani ārkārtīgi interesē tas vārdos nepasakāmais, kas tas ir. Tu, piemēram, stāvi Gaujas krastā vai jebkurā citā skaistā vietā, vai vienkārši kādā dzīves situācijā, kas tevi ārkārtīgi uzrunā, un tas spēks tev ir tik liels, ka tu saproti, ka tas ir kaut kas gatavs, bet tu zini, ka līdzšinējās definīcijas neviena neder, un tad tev pašam ir tas jāuzraksta vai jāuzzīmē, vai jāsakomponē. Jāpanāk, kas tas ir kaut kādā veidā redzams citiem. Un šī ir tā nojauta par īstenību.  Es varētu salīdzināt ar fizikas eksperimentu. Arhimēdam arī bija nojauta, kad viņš iesēdās vannā, un izspiedās ūdens, viņš kļuva vieglāks. Viņam ienāca prātā - paga, paga, tā noteikti ir tīra fizika, tur jābūt kaut kādai likumsakarībai, ka viņš kļūst vieglāks. Viņam šī nojauta realizējās formulā, un viņš to pierādīja. Tāpat arī dzejnieks - viņš aiziet Gaujas krastā, viņš sajūt, viņš ierauga, teiksim tā, spēku, kas pēkšņi kaut kādā brīdī ir noformējies tavā uztverē kā kaut kas vienots un vesels. Un tev tikai jāatrod ir manā gadījumā vārdi vai instruments jebkāds, lai uzrakstītu šo Arhimēda formulu. Ja tas izdodas un darbojas, tad vienādojums der abās pusēs. Ir pareizs. Kas notiek ar dzejoli, ja tu viņu neuzraksti? Edvīns Raups: Tā sajūta jau paliek. Neizdibināmais ar to ir skaists, ka viņš tāds arī tomēr paliek. Tu pasaki varbūt kādu vienu, tas ir piesaukt kvantu fiziku... Visu laiku notiek mijiedarbība. Tas ir tas sakāmais, kas ir nepasakāms, ir bezgalīgs, tas ir neaptverams. Tu visu laiku viņu drupina pa kripatiņai.  Es teiktu tā, ka īstenība lielā mērā ir tava apziņa, tas, ko tu apzinies. Nevis tas, ko tu zini, bet tas, ko tu apzinies. Vismaz mākslā tas darbojas perfekti. Tikai apziņa ir tā plašā telpa, kurā ir šī īstenība, kurā akmens ir akmens. Jo citādi, kā jau daudzi ir apcerējuši, tu pagriez akmenim muguru un viņa nav. Apziņā viņš paliek, viņš ir, tātad tomēr ir vai tomēr nav? Katrā ziņā apziņa ir lauks, kurā ir ārkārtīgi interesanti spēlēties un meklēt atbildes, jo tās tur noteikti ir. -- Savā astotajā dzejoļu krājumā Edvīns Raups turpina mēģinājumus notvert domu tās rašanās brīdī, lai, pierakstīdams dažus tās raksturlielumus, pasniegtu kā emocionāla saviļņojuma zibsni, kas uzšķiļ jau nākamo domu – un tā šis process ritmiski viļņojas katrā dzejolī, kuram ir tikpat noteikts/nenoteikts sākums un beigas kā cilvēka dzīvei. Šķiet, šajā krājumā dzejnieks kļuvis vēl lakoniskāks, viņa vertikāle un horizontāle – vēl caurspīdīgāka un tādēļ precīzāka. Edvīna Raupa krājumu "Laiks ir jau ievilcies" izdevis Jāņa Rozes apgāds.

As he prepares to hand over leadership, Gilchrist emphasizes the importance of strong dealer advocacy in Washington and continued defense of the franchise system amid direct-sales threats and regulatory changes.On EV Adoption: “[Dealers have] spent millions of dollars in our facilities to make this transformation, but it is the consumer choice, and the consumers are not adopting it. [W]e're at 7.8% nationally for fleet adoption, so we've got a ways to goOn the CARS Rule: “NADA has been at the tip of the spear on that. We've challenged it, and now we're just waiting for the ruling. We feel good about it, but obviously we're waiting to see where the ruling comes.On the IRA Tax Credit potentially going away: “We need that $7,500 tax credit right now as we cut the line down on EV inventory. Let's give it some time for customers to take advantage of it.”On Scout Motors: “It's a real simple answer: It will be challenged nationwide.”What he would like to see incoming Chairman Tom Castriota accomplish: 1. Defend the franchise system against direct sales. 2. Strengthen relationships with ATAEs. 3. Monitor government overreach.Rivian has taken the top spot in the electric van market, surpassing Ford with its Electric Delivery Van (EDV). Despite facing manufacturing hurdles and supply shortages, Rivian's partnership with Amazon and expansion into new fleets helped drive record-breaking sales.Rivian delivered 13,423 electric vans in 2024, a 67% increase from 2023, outpacing Ford's 12,610 E-Transit sales.The EDV's strong Q4 performance (4,397 units, +84.1% YoY) helped Rivian claim the title of best-selling electric van in the U.S.Rivian's Normal, IL plant underwent upgrades in April to improve cost efficiency but also faced temporary shutdowns in the summer due to part shortages.Starbucks Workers United (SBWU), which represents more than 11,000 baristas, is pushing for clarity and bargaining over Starbucks' new code of conduct. The revised policy ends the company's open-door policy, sparking concerns over enforcement and its impact on customers.The new policy ends free access to store spaces and restrooms without a purchase, shifting enforcement responsibilities to baristas.SBWU is demanding negotiations over how baristas are expected to enforce the policy and how it will impact their daily responsibilities.Starbucks claims the code of conduct already addresses worker concerns and highlights that the union Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

Vēstule (sev, lasītājam vai kādam mīļam cilvēkam?) – dzejolis-eseja, bet par ko – nezina pati autore. Teksts ir tik īpatnējs, ka Gundars Āboliņš nolasa kādu fragmentu vienreiz, tad – mēs ar Edvīnu Raupu runājām, un Gundars jautā – vai es tagad varu nolasīt vēlreiz? Un lasa. Klarisa Lispektore ir Ukrainā dzimusi brazīliešu rakstniece, pārstāv 20. gadsimta modernismu, viņas neierastās stilistikas un savdabīgās struktūras guvušas starptautisku ievērību. Gleznot un rakstīt, bet noķert sajūtu tās rašanās brīdī – varbūt arī tā var ieskatīties tekstā „Dzīvais ūdens”. Klarisa Lispektore rakstījusi: „Glezniecībā, tāpat kā mūzikā un literatūrā, tas, ko bieži sauc par abstraktu, man šķiet ir smalkākas un grūtākas realitātes atainojums, kas neapbruņotai acij grūtāk saskatāms”.

Portugāļu mākslinieks Andrē Letrija atgādina par iztēles nozīmi mūsdienu laikmetā

„Iztēle ir pretošanās forma,” saka portugāļu ilustrators Andrē Letrija (André Letria). „Tā pasargā mūsu spēju domāt pašiem.” Letrijas poētiskās un visiem vecumiem domātās grāmatas augstu novērtētas gan viņa dzimtenē Portugālē, gan citviet pasaulē. Divas no tām – „Ja es būtu grāmata” un „Karš” – iznākušas arī Latvijā. Andrē Letrija nesen viesojās Rīgā, lai stāstītu par sava radošā darba aizkulisēm un atgādinātu gan lasītājiem, gan topošajiem māksliniekiem, cik liela ir iztēles nozīme laikmetā, kas vedina arvien mazāk piepūlēties domāt. Andrē Letrijam piemīt prasme atbruņot sarunbiedrus ar veselīgu pašironiju. Nedēļas nogalē Nacionālās bibliotēkas Ziedoņa zālē sanākušajiem Rīgas Grāmatu svētku dalībniekiem viņš ar humoru atklāja, kā pēc daudziem gadiem ilustratora darbā nolēmis dibināt savu izdevniecību. „Sākumā es ļāvos alkatībai,” viņš iesmējās. Proti, Letrija bija nolēmis, ka pirmā jāizdod grāmata par futbolu, jo tai šo sportu mīlošajā Portugālē vajadzētu gūt lielus panākumus. Viņš kļūdījās: prezentācijā pirms viņa iecienītās komandas „Benfica” spēles futbola fani nopirka tieši četras grāmatas. „Tās bija pārāk poētiskas,” atzina Letrija, „un es sapratu, ka neko nesaprotu par grāmatu biznesu.” Tomēr arī nākamajos izdevumos viņš nemēģināja piespēlēt masu gaumei un turpināja darīt to, kam tic visvairāk: veidot poētiskas, vizuālas grāmatas, kurās ir maz teksta un liela vieta iztēlei. „Es ticu grāmatu nākotnei,” vēlāk saka Letrija, kad tiekamies uz sarunu Latvijas Radio. „Taču tām ir kļuvis daudz grūtāk aizsniegt lasītājus. Šajā digitālajā laikmetā mēs arvien vairāk pierodam pie virspusējas informācijas, pie tā, ka nav jāpiepūlas domāt. Mēs uzņemam ziņas, nepārbaudot faktus un to izcelsmi. Manuprāt, grāmatām mūs vajadzētu izaicināt un piedāvāt lietas, par ko domāt. Tādas ir grāmatas, ko es lasu, un arī grāmatas, ko radu pats. Šis darbs ir grūts, bet sniedz gandarījumu.” Un Andrē Letrijas grāmatu izdevniecībai „Pato Lógico”, kas portugāliski nozīmē „Loģiskā pīle” un reizē spēlējas ar vārdu „patoloģisks”, ir izdevies iegūt lasītāju mīlestību ne vien dzimtenē, bet arī citviet pasaulē. „Manis radītajām grāmatām ir dažādi slāņi un tās var dzīvot garu mūžu, jo katrā vecumā mēs tajās izlasām kaut ko citu. Piemēram, par grāmatu „Karš” dažiem pircējiem un arī citu valstu izdevējiem mēdz būt šaubas – vai tā būs piemērota bērniem? Manuprāt, jā. To var lasīt arī sešus vai astoņus gadus vecs bērns. Kaut arī tā ir tumša, pesimistiska un mazliet biedējoša, tā arī bērnam var pastāstīt, kādi mēdz būt kari. Protams, mazā vecumā viņi to uztvers virspusējāk, bet šo pašu grāmatu varēs lasīt arī pēc četriem, pieciem vai sešiem gadiem. Manuprāt, to var nodot no paaudzes paaudzē, jo šo grāmatu var uztvert ļoti dažādos līmeņos, un dažus no tiem var atslēgt tikai briedumā. Spējai lasīt attēlus te ir liela nozīme.” Letrijas grāmata „Karš” pērnvasar iznāca arī latviski – izdevniecībā „Liels un mazs”, Edvīna Raupa tulkojumā. Portugālē Letrija to izdeva jau 2018. gadā, un izrādās, ka grāmatas iecerei ir vēl senāka vēsture. Šo grāmatu Andrē radījis kopā ar savu tēvu – portugāļu dzejnieku un rakstnieku Žužē Žorži Letriju. Viesojoties Latvijā, Andrē Letrija tikās ar Jaņa Rozentāla Mākslas skolas 4. kursa studentiem, kam stāstīja par grāmatas „Karš” četrus gadus ilgo tapšanu, idejas attīstību, skicēm, krāsu nozīmi noskaņas radīšanā, darbu ar tekstu un tā autoru – savu tēvu, kura uzrakstītais beigās vairs neiederējās grāmatas struktūrā un bija jārada no jauna…

Stāsta izdevniecības “Liels un mazs” izdevēja un līdzīpašniece Alīse Nīgale. Līdzās latviešu oriģinālliteratūrai bērnu grāmatplaukti regulāri papildinās ar tulkojumiem no dažādām valodām, un, atšķirībā no satura, ko bērni iepazīst internetā, šīs grāmatas bieži vien nenāk no globālās angliski runājošās pasaules, bet gan no dažādām citām valodām. Bērnu grāmatu izdevniecība “Liels un mazs”, sagaidot savu 20. dzimšanas dienu, ir pārskatījusi savu tulkojumu plauktu, un atklāj tajā pārstāvēto dažādo Eiropas valstu un valodu bagātību.  Pavisam “Liels un mazs” šo 20 gadu laikā ir izdevis 94 tulkojumus no 17 valodām. Ar 22 grāmatām pārliecinoša līdere šajā kolekcijā ir Igaunija – no igauņu autoriem visvairāk pārstāvēts Andruss Kivirehks. Interese par igauņu bērnu grāmatām rodas tādēļ, ka tās ir asprātīgas un latviešiem mentāli tuvas, taču ļoti liela nozīme ir arī profesionāliem, igauņu bērnu literatūrā patiesi ieinteresētiem tulkotājiem, un tieši tādi ir Maima Grīnberga un Guntars Godiņš. Latvieši izsenis jutuši simpātijas pret Ziemeļvalstu literatūru. To apliecina arī izdotie 14 tulkojumi no zviedru valodas un 8 no norvēģu valodas. Tulkotāja Mudīte Treimane, kura sen pazīstama kā lieliska Astridas Lindgrēnes latviskotāja, mums atvērusi arī trakulīgo, hipijisko Barbru Lindgrēnes stāstu “Loranga”. Savukārt tulkotāja Jolanta Pētersone parādījusi gan to, cik traki asprātīgs spēj būt Ērlenns Lū – grāmatas “Kurts” un komiksa “Kurš sasēdēja brūno sieru?” autors – gan to, cik siltas un draudzīgas, Norvēģijas kalnos mītošās sirdis attēlo rakstniece Marija Parra. “Liels un mazs” ziemeļnieku plauktā atrodamas arī trīs somu un divas islandiešu grāmatas. Tulkota ne tikai proza, bet arī dzeja. Somu dzejnieces Heli Lāksonenas krājumu “Piec ait kalns” Guntars Godiņs atdzejojis īpašajā “Heli valodā”, ko viņš uzbūvējis uz Vidzemes lībiešu valodas bāzes, lai atveidotu dienvidrietumu Somijā runāto valodu, kurā raksta Heli.  Savukārt zviedru klasiķa Ulfa Starka iedomu “Zvērus, kurus neviens nav redzējis, tikai mēs” dzejoļus atdzejojis Juris Kronbergs, bet Starka dzejoļus par mazo “Diktatoru” – un Uldis Bērziņš. Šie atdzejojumi, tāpat kā izcilie prozas tulkojumi, spilgti parāda, cik lielā mērā tulkošana nāk par labu latviešu valodai – tā atraisa un liek lietā mūsu pašu valodas bagātības, iedzīvina iespējas, kas snauž valodā un rosina lasītāja valodas iztēli.     Visi, kas lasījuši kādu no Ineses Paklones tulkojumiem no nēderlandiešu valodas vai redzējuši jocīgo skolotāju Jāpu, kuru Kaspars Znotiņš kopā ar Gunu Zariņu atveidoja izrādē, būs jautājuši, kādēļ tulkots no nēderlandiešu, nevis nīderlandiešu vai holandiešu valodas? Tulkotāja nav kavējusies sniegt pamatotu skaidrojumu: “Nēderlandiešu valodas skaidrojošās vārdnīcas ietver gan visu divpadsmit Nēderlandes provinču leksiku, gan arī šajā pašā valodā runājošo piecu provinču leksiku no Beļģijas flāmu reģiona. Holandiešu vārdi ir tikai maza daļa no visas šīs valodas bagātības. Nosaukumu Nīderlande esam latviešu valodā dabūjuši ar vācu valodas starpniecību (Niederland). Šo vārdu paši nēderlandieši izrunā kā Nēderlandi (Nederland). Abi vārdi nozīmē to pašu – Lejas zeme, Lejzeme. Man šķiet tikai valodnieciski pareizi un vēsturiski godīgi turēties pie valsts un valodas pašnosaukuma un tā izrunas.” Tulkojumi no franču valodas iepazīstina ar franču un beļģu bērnu grāmatām, tostarp slavenās mākslinieces Kitijas Krauzeres bilžu grāmatām, kurās viņa ir arī teksta autore. Kitija dzīvo Beļģijā, viņas vecāku dzimtās valodas ir zviedru un angļu, bet savus darbus viņa sacer franciski. Kitijas īpašo jūtīgumu un niansēto vizuālo valodu ietekmējis arī tas, ka viņai kopš bērnības ir dzirdes traucējumi. Viņas domāšana un tēmu izvēle ir brīva no stereotipiem. Negaidītie, pārsteidzošie tēli atklāj noslēpumu pilnu pasauli, kurā māksliniece meklē cilvēcību un iejūtību.   Savukārt Ingmāras Balodes un Māra Salēja tulkojumi un atdzejojumi iesniedzas Polijas, Ukrainas un Čehijas literārajā telpā. Īpaša draudzība izdevniecību Liels un mazs” vieno ar Ļvivas izdevniecību “Starij Lev” un tās autoriem – Romanu Romanišinu un Andriju Lesivu, kuru bilžu grāmatas “Karš, kurš pārvērta Rondo” izdevums latviešu valodā ir izdevēju un grāmatas pircēju ziedojums Ukrainas atbalstam. Austrumeiropu pārstāv arī slovēņu bilžu grāmatas. Tulkojumi no angļu valodas “Liels un mazs” izvēlēto grāmatu gadījumā nozīmē īru, austrāliešu un amerikāņu bērnu literatūru – Valda Ābola un Ievas Lešinskas interpretācijā.   No vācu valodas izraudzītās grāmatas rāda ļoti oriģinālus bērnu literatūras atzarus, tostarp meditatīvo Volfa Erlbruha bilžu grāmatu “Pīle, Nāve un tulpe”, kas apcer samierināšanos ar nāvi. Un puiciski nebēdnīgo vēstures komiksu “Kinderlande”, kas stāsta par Austrumvāciju īsi pirms Berlīnes mūra krišanas.  Arī Daces Meieres tulkotais lietuviešu komikss “Sibīrijas haiku” mums atklājis komiksa iespējas izstāstīt traģisku vēstures stāstu gaiši un iedvesmojoši, bet Edvīns Raups spējis latviskot apjomīgu un ļoti mūsdienīgu portugāļu izziņas grāmatu “Te iekšā. Smadzenes manā galvā”, kas ved pusaudzi ceļojumā uz paša smadzenēm un dod pārliecinošu izskaidrojumu viņa dumpinieciskumam un emociju vētrām.  Reāls atbalsts izdevējiem, kas cenšas savā valodā darīt pieejamas citu mazo Eiropas valodu balsis un uzturēt dzīvu kultūras daudzveidību, ir Eiropas Savienības kultūrpolitika – programmas “Radošā Eiropa” literatūras tulkojumu un aprites grantu konkursi, kuros līdzfinansējumu tulkojumu izdošanai un autoru vizītēm Latvijā vairākkārt saņēmusi arī izdevniecība “Liels un mazs”.  Savukārt, pateicoties izdevēju starptautiskajai sadarbībai un platformas “Latvian Literature” atbalstam piecdesmit “Liels un mazs” grāmatas ir tulkotas un izdotas trīsdesmit pasaules valodā. Gan lielākajās – angļu, vācu, franču, itāļu un spāņu, gan “mazajās” – un ne vien tādās, kas savā zemē ir valsts valoda, bet arī tādās kā Spānijā runātās katalāņu, galīsiešu un basku valodas, kā arī Latvijai tik tālajās un eksotiskajās mongoļu, japāņu, korejiešu, arābu, un ķīniešu valodās.

Sigulda Dzejas dienas sāk svinēt ar Dzejas nakts pārgājienu

Septembrī Latvijā notiek Dzejas dienas, taču Sigulda sevi ir pasludinājusi par Latvijas dzejas galvaspilsētu, un iedibinājusi pati savu festivālu - “Siguldas Dzejas dienas un dzejas naktis”, kas augusta pēdējā dienā iesākās ar Dzejas nakts pārgājienu. Raidījumā arī mēs dodamies šai ceļā. Uzzināsiet, ko šobrīd dara dzejas meistari - Edvīns Raups, Guntars Godiņš, Jānis Rokpelnis, Inga Ābele un Artis Ostups. Taču Dzejas nakts pārgājiens bija īpašs arī ar to, ka tā organizatore Sandra Marta Grudule bija sasaukusi kopā daudzās Latvijas literātu apvienības, un tieši radīt gribošu ļaužu daudzbalsīgā klātbūtne paredzamo Dzejas dienu norisi pietuvināja neparedzamajam. Dzejas nakts pārgājiens tieši tā arī sākās. Un tagad arī jums jāsāk iztēloties. Ir sestdienas vakars, Siguldas stacijā pienāk vilciens no Cēsīm, tad no Rīgas. Stacijas laukumā sanāk diezgan prāvs ļaužu bariņš, dažiem ir rokās norunātā zīme – balta lapa, citi paļaujas, ka tāpat visus jau pazīst. Pusastoņos vakarā mirklis nopietnības – skan atklāšanas uzrunas. Tad Siguldas Stacijas laukumā sākas zibakcija – pēc megafonā dotas komandas dzejnieki vienlaicīgi sāk skandēt savus dzejoļus. Un nu jau mēs dodamies ceļā! Lai satiktu Viesturu Vecgrāvi pie  Siguldas Valsts ģimnāzijas, kur literatūrzinātnieks stāstīs par dzejnieka, atdzejotāja, rakstnieka Leona Brieža skolas gaitām Siguldā. Nākamais pieturas punkts ir Svētku laukums Siguldā. Tas, ka šeit vientuļš zem ābeles sēd Edvīns Raups un gaida savus klausītājus, man nav nekāds pārsteigums, tas jau bija ierakstīts programmā. Taču pārsteigums ir satriecošs saulriets pār Gaujas senleju, un vienlaikus atveras debesis un sāk līt. Siguldas daudzie skatu laukumiņi ir ļoti piemērota skatuve dzejniekam. Taču kāds to visu ir iecerējis, saplānojis,  un izstaigājis vēl pirms pārējiem. Kāds ir gādājis, lai ar prožektora staru tumsu šķeltu gaisma, un dzejnieki redzētu lapu no kuras dzejoļi tiek lasīti, un uzstādījis mikrofonu, lai pārējie to sadzirdētu.  Dzejas nakts pārgājiena organizatore ir kultūras centra “​Siguldas devons” projektu vadītāja Sandra Marta Grudule. Dzejas nakts pārgājiens prasa sabalansēt garīgo tiecību un savu fizisko izturību, un norūdīt arī kādas cilvēciskas īpašības. Ceļinieku vidū ir dzejniece Laima Helēna Mūrniece. Viņa ir neredzīga, taču atrodas kāda automašīna, kas var palīdzēt, atrodas, kas piesakās par pavadoni. Cits auto mēģina pierunāt visu mīlēto dzejnieku Jāni Rokpelni nekāpt augšup uz Siguldas pili pa stāvo serpentīnu. Dzejnieks apskaišas par neticību viņa spēkiem. Man taču tūlīt būs 79, viņš rājas, lai gan apkārtējiem netop īsti skaidrs, kāda atziņa no tā būtu jāizloba. Arī literārās apvienības ir šāda iespēja atbalstīt vienam otru. Esmu priecīga klātienē iepazīt literatūrzinātnieci, literatūrkritiķi un dzejnieci Sandru Ratnieci, dzejnieku un prozaiķu grupas “Tekstūra” kopā saucēju. Grupa “Tekstūra” tika nodibināta 2019. gadā, 13 grupas autoru kopdarbs “Dzejas detektīvi” iznāca pagājušā gada rudenī, šajās Dzejas dienās “Tekstūra”  rīkotais pasākums “Radošuma anatomija” Dzejas dienu progammā. Kristaps Vecgrāvis dzeju lasīs tuvāk Nakts pārgājiena noslēgumam, Siguldas kapos. Šobrīd vēl esam ceļā uz Siguldas peldvietu, lai pie Gaujas satiktu Guntaru Godiņu, programmā teikts, ka viņš pirms dažiem gadiem kļuvis par siguldieti un kaislīgu makšķernieku. Guntars Godiņš šogad ir viens no Dzejas dienu balvas pretendentiem, par atdzejas krājumu “Sirreālisms igauņu dzejā”, intriga tiks atklāta festivāla Dzejas dienas noslēgumā, 15. septembrī. Lai piedod Guntars Godiņš, viņa balss tagad paliks fonā. Viņam savas zivis, man savējās. Man jāķer pie rokas dzejnieki. Laima Ābele. Un nu ir īstais brīdis atzīties. Ar Laimu Ābeli esam klasesbiedres, skolā vienā solā sēdējām. Tad varat iedomāties manu pārsteigumu, satiekot savu vienaudzi dzejnieku rindās. Elīnas Līces stabule vakara un nakts raibos notikumus sasaista vienotā veselumā. Stabule ieskandina arī Arta Ostupa dzejas lasījumu Siguldas pilsdrupās. Dzejas nakts pārgājiens īsi pirms pusnakts sasniedzis zemo punktu. Par daudz emocionālu iespaidu, par daudz noieto soļu, sākam atpalikt no plānotā grafika. Taču radošu cilvēku pulks nepieviļ. Joki kļūst skaļāki, pēc Arta Ostupa lasījuma kāds skaļi un līksmi aicina uz kapiem.

We also explore why trying to beat the S&P 500 might not be the best strategy for every investor. We also discuss some comments from Bruce Flatt, CEO of Brookfield, that adopting a long-term perspective is crucial. Businesses should be valued over decades, not in the short term.

Etnomuzikologs: Bieži jaunizgudrotie instrumenti paliek tikai pie saviem izgudrotājiem

Etnomūzikā ir vesels saraksts ar mūzikas instrumentiem, kurus vairums mūzikas mīļotāji pat lāgā neatpazīst. Taču ne tikai gadsimtu seni instrumenti priecē mūsu ausis, mazzināmi ir arī visai sarežģīti 20. gadsimta "izgudrojumi", piemēram, teremins. Kā tie tapuši, kā tos spēlē un kuram ir tiesības pasludināt kādu mūzikas instrumentu par unikālu un instrumentu saimei piederošu, raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Latvijas Universitātes profesors, etnomuzikologs Valdis Muktupāvels. "Ja tiek radīts kāds jauns instruments, visdrīzāk tas ir zināms šim radītājam, viņa tuvākajām aprindām un līdz kaut kādām autoritatīvām komisijām pat nenonāk," vērtē Valdis Muktupāvels. "Iespējams, ja šis izgudrojums nonāktu patentu birojos, tad gan speciālisti salīdzina ar jau reģistrētiem atklājumiem un tad fiksē, vai nu tas ir jauns vai nē. Protams, ka plašāk pazīstami kļūst ne visi no jaunizgudrotajiem instrumentiem, bet visdrīzāk tādi, kuri atbilst, es teiktu, diviem galvenajiem kritērijiem: viens, ka tas būtu komerciāli izplatāms un tātad gan izmaksas ir pieņemamas un arī tas, ko par šīm izmaksām var dabūt pretī; otrs, protams, ir kritērijs, vai tas atbilst kādai noteiktai muzikālajai vajadzībai." Kā piemēru etnomuzikologs min hangu, kurš ir arī iecienīts un labi zināms Latvijā. "Kā instruments viņš faktiski ir 21. gadsimta instruments. Uz gadu tūkstošu robežas apmēram viņš jau parādījās zināms Šveicē. Tāds Felikss Ruaners un Sabīne Šērere. Pirms tam bija pētījumi, par pamatu viņi ņēma jau pazīstamu tautas mūzikā instrumentu. Karību salās ir tādas tērauda bungas, pareizāk sakot, vecas degvielas kannas, kuras tālāk pārtaisa par mūzikas instrumentiem," atkāj Valdis Muktupāvels. "Bet, lūk, šie Bernē dzīvojošie šveicieši vienkārši papētīja vairāk akustiskās īpašības, kā tur rezonanse veidojas, pielietoja ideju par tā saukto helmholca telpu, respektīvi, ka noteikta slēgta telpa ir ar savu pašsvārstību frekvenci, rezonanses frekvenci. Izpētīja, kā šī frekvence iedarbojas uz citām skaņām. Un faktiski eksperimentu un arī teorētisku atzinumu rezultātā radīja šo te hangu, kurš izrādījās arī komerciāli ļoti veiksmīgs instruments. Tāds viņš savu ceļu pasaulē iet. Ļoti daudzi no šiem atradumiem tā arī paliek pie saviem izgudrotājiem." Rakstniecībās un mūzikas muzejā varēs aplūkot restaurētu pianolu - pašspēlējošās mehāniskās klavieres Pašspēlējošās mehāniskās klavieres jeb pianola bija populārs mūzikas instruments 20. gs. sākumā. Ar  plēšām izsūkts gaiss darbināja veltnīti ar perforētu papīra rulli, tādejādi izvilinot melodiju no pianolas. Nule kā Rakstniecības un mūzikas muzejā pabeigts darbs pie šādas pianolas restaurācijas. Sižetā skan Vācijā ierakstītā Ferenza Lista „ Rūķu deja”, ko atskaņoja uz Rakstniecības un mūzikas muzejā (RMM) nule restaurētās pianolas. Tās ir pašspēlējošas klavieres, no kurām, minot pedāļus, atskan melodija, kas  caurumiņu veidā iestrādāta papīra rullī. Pirmajā brīdī pianola atgādina to pašu pianīnu jeb klavieres ar vertikāli novietotām stīgām, bet ērģeļu būvētājs un restaurators Alvis Melbārdis ir noņēmis instrumenta priekšējo korpusu virs taustiņiem un atklājas skats, kas vairāk piedienētu automašīnas iekšienei, kad noņemts motora pārsegs, tiesa, ļoti senas automašīnas modelim. Simtiem gumijas caurulīšu, vairākas plēšas un vidū veltnis ar perforēta papīra rulli. Par pianolas darbību stāsta Alvis Melbārdis. Šo  instrumentu 19. gs. 90. gados izgudroja amerikāņu uzņēmējs, dizainers, klavieru un ērģeļu ražotājs Edvīns Skots Votejs. Viņš plaši reklamēja savu jaunizgudroto instrumentu, un pirmās pianolas tirdzniecībā parādījās 1898. gadā. Sākotnēji tās maksāja 250 ASV dolārus, vēlāk cena samazinājās, bet  savā  neilgajā pastāvēšanas laikā (aptuveni līdz 20. gs. 30 gadiem) pianola  bija dārgs instruments. RMM esošā pianola tika izgatavota jau instrumenta popularitātes  norieta laikā, pirms vairāk nekā 90 gadiem Anglijā pēc Amerikāņu mūzikas instrumentu ražošanas uzņēmuma „Aeolian Company” patenta.  Kāds bija konkrētās pianolas mūžs, stāsta RMM projektu vadītāja Katrīna Kūkoja. Visi interesenti drīz arī varēs aplūkot šo savdabīgo instrumentu, jo 7. decembrī Rakstniecības un mūzikas muzeja izstāžu zālē, Pulka ielā 8, tiks atklāta skaņu ierakstu izstāde “SAN” un līdz pat nākamā gada septembrim pianola būs tur  apskatāma.

Did you know that the majority of eating disorders occur between the ages of 12 and 25? This means that for many people with eating disorders, recovery also falls within the transition period from adolescence to adulthood. It's a time of huge change and growth, which, when coupled with an eating disorder, can be really overwhelming. In this episode, we speak with Emily, a member of the EDV team who has lived experience of being diagnosed with an eating disorder in her late teens. Emily's recovery journey included both the adolescent and adult public health system. We discuss being diagnosed with an eating disorder while in Year 12, undergoing treatment while seeking independence from family/parents, choosing recovery as an adult and finding motivation, travelling, moving out of home, and creating a new life. Huge thanks to Emily for sharing her story for this episode. As with all of our episodes that are driven by lived experience, we feel like there's something in here for everyone, even if this transition period that we're talking about doesn't directly relate to you.

She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Shares of Rivian Automotive fell today after the EV maker said late Friday that it is recalling more than 12,000 vehicles – nearly every EV it has made to date – to double-check that a fastener in the vehicles' steering assembly was properly tightened. After falling more than 10% , Rivian's stock ended the session down about 7%. The recall includes every Rivian R1T pickup and R1S SUV made through late September, as well as some of the EDV delivery vans the company produced for Amazon — 12,212 vehicles in all — though the company estimates that only about 1% of those have the defect. Through the end of September, Rivian had built about 15,300 vehicles since starting production in the fall of 2021. Stocks closed lower on Monday with the Nasdaq Composite index falling to the lowest level in two years as tech shares continue to be the hardest hit in this bear market because of spiking interest rates.

This week, please join author Philipp Lurz and Editorialist Daniel Burkhoff as they discuss the article "Characteristics of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Across the Range of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction" and the editorial "HF?EF: The Mysterious Relationship Between Heart Failure and Ejection Fraction Continues." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. We're your co-host. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, Associate Editor, Director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Carolyn Lam: I just cannot wait to tell you about today's feature discussion, Greg. It's about heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and characteristics in the range of that ejection fraction that's above 50%. So, okay. I know, I know. It's like, "Oh my gosh. Wow. How much are we going to be talking about this ejection fraction thing?" But I'm telling you, everybody has to listen to this. It's really a big stride forward in our understanding of these patients with heart failure and a higher ejection fraction. Plus it includes one of my mentors from Mayo Clinic days, and I just can't wait for everyone to hear this. But before we go there, we've got really, really cool original papers in today's issue too. Would you like to start first? Dr. Greg Hundley: You bet Carolyn, and I can't wait for that feature discussion, especially this is a real area of your expertise. So listeners, hold on for that feature discussion. Well, my first paper, Carolyn, really pertains to physical activity. And Carolyn, the study is led by Dr. Don Hoon Lee from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. And it evaluated a total of 116,000 adults from two large prospective US cohorts, the Nurse's Health Study and the Health Professional's Follow up Study that took place from 1988 to 2018. And they were examining self-reported leisure time physical activity and assessed the association between long term leisure time physical activity intensity and all cause and cause specific mortality. Dr. Greg Hundley: Now Carolyn, two types of physical activity were assessed. First, moderate physical activity and we're going to abbreviate that as MPA and that was 150 to 300 minutes per week, which is really recommended. Or second, vigorous physical activity for which it's really recommended that one performs 75 to 150 minutes per week. Now, Carolyn, as you know, some individuals accomplish both of these in their routine, some neither, some one or the other. And so it really remains unclear whether higher levels of long term vigorous or moderate are independently or perhaps jointly associated with lower mortality. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, that's so interesting, Greg. Quick, quick, quick, tell us the results. Dr. Greg Hundley: Right Carolyn. So the nearly maximum association with lower mortality overall was achieved by performing approximately 150 to 300 minutes per week of long term leisure time vigorous physical activity or 300 to 600 minutes per week of long term leisure time moderate physical activity or an equivalent combination of both, so mixing those minutes. Also Carolyn, very interestingly, higher levels, suppose you go beyond those limits of either long term leisure time vigorous physical activity of more than 300 minutes per week or moderate physical activity of more than 600 minutes per week did not show clearly further lower all cause cardiovascular disease or non-cardiovascular disease mortality and nor did they show harm. So if you went above those thresholds, you really didn't experience greater harm. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thanks, Greg. You know I'm going to be trying to apply that. That's so cool. All right. Well the next paper refers to the Cabana Trial, which I'll remind you is a trial in which catheter ablation did not significantly reduce the primary endpoint of death, disabling stroke, serious bleeding or cardiac arrest compared to drug therapy by intention to treat, but did improve quality of life and freedom from atrial fibrillation recurrence. In Cabana, the heart failure subgroup, ablation appeared to improve both survival and quality of life. The current paper led by Dr. Mark and colleagues from Duke Clinical Research Institute looked at the cost effectiveness of this ablation versus angio-rhythmic drug therapy in atrial fibrillation and which was a pre-specified Cabana secondary endpoint. Dr. Greg Hundley: Ah, Carolyn. So what did they find? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Well in this trial based economic evaluation, catheter ablation was estimated to cost $57,893 per QALY or Quality Adjusted Life Year gained compared to drug therapy in the overall cohort. And this was primarily driven by improvement in quality of life. It also cost $54,135 per QALY gained in the heart failure subgroup, driven by both gains in quality of life and survival. In summary, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation was found to be economically attractive compared to drug therapy in the Cabana trial overall at present benchmarks of healthcare value in the US and based on projected incremental qualities, but not live years alone. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice Carolyn. Well, my next paper comes to us from the world of Preclinical Science and it's corresponding author is Dr. Swapnil Sonkusare from University of Virginia School of Medicine. So Carolyn, calcium signals in smooth muscle cells contribute to vascular resistance and control blood pressure. Now increased vascular resistance in hypertension has been attributed to impaired smooth muscle cell calcium signaling mechanisms. And in this regard, transient receptor potential vanilloid four or TRPV4 smooth muscle cell ion channels are crucial calcium entry pathways for smooth muscle cells. However, their role in blood pressure regulation has not been identified. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. TRPV4 smooth muscle cells. Cool Greg. So what did they find? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So these authors provide the first evidence that TRPV4 smooth muscle cell channel activity elevates resting blood pressure in normal mice. A1AR stimulation activated TRPV4 smooth muscle cell channels through protein kinase calcium signaling, which contributed significantly to vasoconstriction and blood pressure elevation. Dr. Greg Hundley: Surprisingly, intraluminal pressure induced TRPV4 smooth muscle cell channel activity, opposed vasoconstriction through activation of calcium sensitive potassium channels indicating functionally opposite pools of TRPV4 smooth muscle cell channels. And so Carolyn, this team identified novel smooth muscle cell calcium signaling nano domains that regulate blood pressure and demonstrate impairment in hypertension. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh wow, Greg. Thank you so much for that. Well, let's cover the other articles in today's issue. There's a primer by Dr. Jaffe on High Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin and the 2021 AHA/ACC/ASE/CHEST/SAEM/SCCT/SCMR guidelines for the evaluation and diagnosis of acute chest pain. There's also Research [Letter] in there by Dr. Fordyce on the eligibility for non-invasive testing based on the 2021 American Heart Association and ACC guideline for the evaluation and diagnosis of chest pain, implications from the Promise trial. Dr. Greg Hundley: Great Carolyn. Well, I've also got an exchange of letters to the editor from Professors Benali and Professor Della Bella regarding a previously published article, “Does Timing of Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation Affect Prognosis in Patients with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, Results from the Multicenter Randomized Partita Trial.” And also there's a very nice Perspective piece from Dr. Udelson entitled “Glucose Insulin Potassium Therapy for Acute Myocardial Infarction, 50 years on and Time for a Relook.” Well, Carolyn, I can't wait to hear more of the discourse between you, the authors and editors on heart failure and preserved ejection fraction. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Yay. Here we go. I'm so excited about today's feature discussion. It's on my favorite topic, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Although thanks to one of the authors, Dr. Daniel Burkhoff of the editorial that accompanies it, I don't even know how to pronounce, it's Heart Failure question mark Ejection Fraction. I love it. How would you pronounce that? Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: Yeah, no, we debated how to pronounce it. HFQRef…a question mark? Dr. Carolyn Lam: HFQRef. Oh my goodness. What are we going to come up with next? Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: And we actually thought the editors would have a problem with that. Whenever we put something cute in the title, we always get knocked down. So we haven't yet got knocked down, so we'll see. Dr. Carolyn Lam: No, I'm not knocking you down. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: But it just really emphasizes that we're in a very confusing time now as it comes to heart failure and ejection fraction, that we have to move on beyond ejection fraction. And although we have these strict buckets and upper and lower limits for each range, that maybe this is in a little bit of a way, doing us a disservice and doing the patients at disservice in terms of treatment. Dr. Carolyn Lam: That's really great. And everybody that was Dr. Daniel Burkhoff from the Cardiovascular Research Foundation in New York. He's the editorialist of today's feature paper. And I'm so excited that we have the corresponding author of today's feature paper as well, Dr. Philipp Lurz from Heart Center Leipzig in Germany. So first, I mean, or second, heartfelt congratulations on this beautiful paper, Philipp. If you could start with telling us all about what you did and what you looked at and what made Dr. Daniel Burkhoff call it now, Heart Failure, QREF? Dr. Philipp Lurz: Yeah. So thank you so much, first of all, obviously for having me for the kind introduction and your kind words about our work. The whole thing started with the observation that in recent drug trials, the response in HFpEF patients to drugs which were before proven to be quite successful in HFrEF actually showed a quite heterogeneous response in HFpEF patients. And that there were some patterns according to the range of ejection fractions. So it seemed that those HFpEF patients with the lower ejection fractions, they respond a little bit better to HFrEF medication than those with a higher ejection fraction. Dr. Philipp Lurz: And HFpEF studies, they included patients within and ejection fraction or 40 and above who normally would probably would consider HFpEF to start with 50 and above. But even in those truly HFpEF patients, so from 50 and anything above to 70, there was a suggestion that there might be differences. 50 to 60 might be something else and then 60 and above. And this is where we started to look into our cohort and to group them according to ejection fraction and see whether we can see some important and clinically meaningful differences in morphology, obviously in function, but then even also in terms of our biopsy results. Dr. Philipp Lurz: And that also implies that we did quite a deep phenotyping of our patients. So we use imaging, echo obviously. We use magnetic resonance imaging. We were able to acquire in a larger percentage of that cohort, by the way, it was 56 patients in total, we were able to get some left ventricular biopsies. And most importantly, when it comes to the functional properties of the left ventricle, we also acquired pressure volume loops. And that has the great advantage that we obviously we can look at low dependent parameters, but more important, also low independent in disease of both systolic and diastolic function. And that's pretty much what we did. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh my goodness. I mean, as an editor at Circulation, can I just first tell you that's what really, really stood out? It's the comprehensive, careful, in-depth characterization. It may be 56 patients, but MRI, echo, biopsies, exercise, PV loops. I mean, it was a lot, a lot that you did. Could you boil it down to what you found and maybe just to first clarify to the audience, how did you bend the ejection fraction? And then what you found? Dr. Philipp Lurz: We divided the cohort in two groups. One with an ejection fraction 50 to 60, and the other groups higher than 60% left ventricular ejection fraction. We ended up in lower group, 21 patients, in the higher group with 35 patients. And they were quite different. They had distinct features in terms of morphology, means that the lower injection fraction group, they had larger ventricles. That's probably what you would expect when you group them according to eject fractions. So not that surprising. Dr. Philipp Lurz: And at that point, and they had the same stroke volume. The low ejection fraction group, you could say that they had a certain degree of eccentric modeling, whereas those were the high ejection fraction group, that concentric modeling. When we then looked at the biopsies, the group with the low ejection fraction group, so 50 to 60, they had higher percentage of myocardial fibrosis at 15%. Dr. Philipp Lurz: And then on left ventricular biopsy, we saw that patients with a high ejection fraction group, they had less myocardial fibrosis, so more fibrosis in those with the lower ejection fraction group. And this is really interesting because when we then look at the real size of the pressure volume loop analysis, despite the fact that the high ejection fraction group had less fibrosis, they had the most stiff ventricles on pressure volume loop analysis. So that's already a very important point because it illustrates once again that we should not mistake fibrosis with stiffness, and also not the other way around. There are other parameters which can cause stiffness such as cellular stiffness, and it's not just the extracellular matrix. Dr. Philipp Lurz: So that's an important point. Those patients with high ejection fraction, they had the most stiff ventricles. They had the most relevant limitations in left ventricular filling, so the most marked diastolic dysfunction. We also looked at systolic parameters and there we found that they had a very high contractility. So this is the end systolic pressure volume relationship or also called elastics and that's a marker for contractility. So these ventricles with high ejection fraction, they can contract very well. They have high contractivity. But this is also a marker of systolic stiffness. So they stiff, both in terms of diastolic properties, but also systolic properties. And there, their most important limitation is the limitation in filling. Dr. Philipp Lurz: The other group, injection fraction 50 to 60, they do have some stiffness. Obviously we are talking about HFpEF. This is a disease of a diastolic dysfunction. So they have increased stiffness, but to a lesser extent. They can feel a little bit better, but what we see there is a reduction in contractility, so systolic properties. So you could argue that in some extent, that group 50 to 60, they behave a little bit more like HFrEF. Whereas those with high ejection fraction, they're completely different. Very stiff, both doing diastolically and sistolly. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thank you so much. Now I really have to get the gurus insight into this. And of course by guru, I mean, Dr. Daniel Burkhoff. First, I'm going to take this opportunity to share a little private personal story that it's very hard for me to call Dr. Burkhoff, "Dan", although if you will allow me it's because I was a fellow when I first met Dr. Burkhoff. And one of my first papers was actually communicating with Dr. Burkhoff trying to draw these PV loops based on the noninvasive measurements that I was obtaining at the Mayo Clinic in the Olmsted County Cohort. And so this is just really making me smile. So Dan, if I may, what do you make of all this? And if you could give us what you think may be the clinical take home message. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: Thank you so much, Carolyn. And also again, Philipp, congratulations on really a really important paper. I think as Carolyn was saying, one of the many things that impressed me was the multifaceted aspects of the thorough evaluation using multi modality characterization, which is in my mind, unprecedented, especially for this particular group of patients. And you summarized the main results very well. But to me, the thing that really struck me and that we really tried to emphasize in our editorial was the differential response to exercise, to hand grip exercise in this point. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: As you already said, and I don't think this could be understated, that in the lower range, the 50 to 60, these patients were able to fill, the ventricle was able to fill more, the end diastolic pressure still went up significantly into an abnormal range, which is of course is one of the requirements for the diagnosis of HFpEF. But those patients, the end diastolic volume was able to increase and that helped them to increase their cardiac output. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: In the higher EF group, the greater than 60, the end diastolic pressure went up, but the volume did not increase. So the end diastolic pressure volume relationship became higher elevated. And this of course, was reminiscent of what was identified in the early nineties by Dalane Kitzman. And really, he didn't make this distinction between the lower half and the higher half. And we had also in a paper that we did with David K and others, seen a similar finding a couple years ago. And I think this is really, to me, was the along with the apparently disparate findings on myocardial biopsies with fibrosis going the wrong way, if you will, as you already commented on. So this is at least for the higher EF group, is identifying what I would refer to as really true diastolic dysfunction. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: That means that the patients can't fill, there really is some problem why the EDP can go up, but the volume does not increase. And this is obviously for future research, we have to understand what is the difference between these two groups. There are several speculations about why it might. For example, one thing that has been proposed in the literature is the pericardial restraints. If the heart is constrained in a tight pericardium, the volume is recruited from the venous system, which is another what I think is a very important part of this HFpEF phenotype, but the heart is already constrained. That would elevate both the CVP and the wedge pressure without concomitant increases in RV or LV volumes, and therefore limit the ability to increase the cardiac output. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: Another alternative is delayed relaxation. That means a true abnormality of active relaxation. The tau if you will, but I believe in your study, if I remember correctly, the tau was not that abnormal and did not really change very much in either group. So it was harder to really pin it on an abnormality of active relaxation. So that was one really, I think, really important finding. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: The second is now in the group 50 to 60 where they could fill, one of the limitations of the study that you pointed out was that there's no control group. So why this population, this HFpEF population, the EDP increased, but the EDV the end diastolic volume also increased, so what's different between those patients and normals? That we don't really have an answer for yet. So that would be one thing is to compliment these findings with results in a true control group that does not have HFpEF. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: So we still have this mystery of why does EDP go up in this group? My perspective is not an abnormality of diastolly. It's not a diastolic dysfunction, even though it's a HFpEF. I've been trying to promote this idea for more than 20 years, that all HFpEF is not an abnormality of diastolic ventricular properties. There may be extra cardiac factors even beyond the pericardium in this group. So I think these results are just further telling us how complicated and individualized our approach to the pathophysiology of these patients should be. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: And also just one final comment, making a strict cutoff at 60% or 57% as we saw from Valsartan Cuba trial, Valsartan study, is clearly also not going to do us justice. Let's say that we're dealing with anyway, patients with two different pathophysiologies. There's going to be a distribution of these different mechanisms and there's going to be an overlap of these distributions. So we need to start thinking about how we individualize and characterize the pathophysiology in individual patients. So maybe patients with EF of 55, certain patients with EF 55 will not respond to Sacubitril- Valsartan and maybe some patients with an EF of 62 will. So we need to go more deep into the clinical characterization. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: And methods that you use in particular, the pressure volume loop, seem to separate, very nicely, these two different, at least two different subtypes. So I think it's very exciting, and I think people should really take notice of what you found and build on this as a foundation and understand that we need to go deeper on the clinical side to phenotype these patients. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Philip, what are your thoughts? Dr. Philipp Lurz: No, I think that the concept about stress and unstressed volume is extremely important and fascinating, but that's where it gets really complex because you could make the conclusion from our results that especially the high ejection fraction group, they are have a very high preload sensibility, which means that when we reduce pre-load too much in them, they drop the stroke volume very suddenly. So that's probably also the clinical question for the future. There are many patients, HFpEF patients in whom we should reduce stress volume and they can benefit from that. Dr. Philipp Lurz: But I also believe that there is a cord of patients, and those are probably more those with high ejection fraction. They actually, they could experience some harm if you reduce preload too much because of the severe filling restrictions, because of the inability to increase end diastolic volumes, especially as an adaptation to exercise. And I think if we find out ways to differentiate who will benefit from preload reduction and from decongestion and who actually might experience even harm from these interventions, then we are certainly one step further. Dr. Carolyn Lam: If I may, I just, I could go on forever, but I know that there's going to be this question that the audience is immediately thinking. Here we are going into the weeds, hemodynamics, we all love it. In fact, I think we're all kind of a little bit geeky about it, but then you've got, Emperor preserved, the Deliver Trial sort of being positive in heart failure with ejection fraction above 40. So, do we really need to understand the different hemodynamic? What do you think is happening that this sort of blanket benefit can occur? Dr. Philipp Lurz: I don't think that everyone will benefit. And I think that a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology will help to even increase the rate of responders and dissect of those who will not respond or we need a different therapy. Obviously here we group patients according to ejection fraction. We just discussed that this is a very rough way to characterize patients. So the next step certainly would be to understand or to see distinct patterns in left ventricular functional behavior irrespective of ejection fraction. Because you might can skip ejection fraction at one day, but the conclusion is not, at least not in my opinion, that all heart failure is the same. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Nice. And Dan, what do you think? Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: Well, I think with STLT2 inhibitors, first of all, we're looking forward to actually seeing the results from Deliver what the details of it in terms of mortality versus hospitalizations and quality of life. But with regard to HSGL2 inhibitors, I don't think we know the mechanism. I mean, I've read about six papers that definitively talk about different mechanisms of action. I think we don't know. And even despite, let's say positive studies, there's still a significant residual risk that these patients have. So these are not the end of the story by any means. I think this is the beginning of the story and there's still going to be a lot to learn. Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: I think with SGLT2 inhibitors, I think it's difficult to identify who is or how do you define a responder on an individual patient basis? When we look at groups and you look at mortality and hospitalizations, yes, you can identify them. But that group does not overlap exactly with those who have an improvement in quality of life. So I think that we're just at the beginning, Dr. Daniel Burkhoff: I do think that a deeper phenotyping is going to be the way to go ultimately and I think we're going to need more therapies. Thanks again, Carolyn for inviting me to do the editorial and to participate in this. And I would really be remiss if I did not mention the extraordinary contributions for Mickey Brener and also Barry Borlaug who were equal contributors to this editorial and the evaluation of this paper. So I'm really indebted to both of them for this interpretations. And thank you again, Philipp, for just a wonderful paper. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Couldn't have said it better and I just want to thank you once again for providing that deeper phenotyping for opening the door. Many of us said it again and again, this is the beginning and we need more studies, frankly, in yours. I mean, I think Dr. Burkhoff wants you to send normal, healthy people for MRI biopsies, exercise, echo. I'm kidding, on PV loops, but it's true. We need that data. We need the same and the HFrEF and really just to understand the whole thing. I'm so excited about what this paper opens up. Dr. Carolyn Lam: I am thrilled to see your editorial, Dan. I'm sure it's going to be well received. Everyone who's listening to this, Pick up the paper, pick up the editorial. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Show #1524 Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of EV information. It's Thursday 7th July, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. RIVIAN SAYS IT'S ON TRACK TO DELIVER 25,000 VEHICLES THIS YEAR "Rivian said Wednesday the company produced 4,401 electric vehicles at its manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois, and delivered 4,467 during the quarter ended June 30. In the first quarter of 2022, Rivian produced 2,553 vehicles and delivered 1,227. That includes a mix of the Rivian R1T pickup truck, R1S SUV and the EDV commercial electric vans it is making for Amazon. The automaker's top priority this summer is ramping up production at its Normal factory by introducing a second shift. It also plans to break ground on a $5 billion facility in Georgia, which awarded the automaker the state's largest-ever incentives package of $1.5 billion." Original Source: https://techcrunch.com/2022/07/06/rivian-says-its-on-track-to-deliver-25000-vehicles-this-year/ US: FORD EV SALES INCREASED 77% IN JUNE "Ford's all-electric vehicle sales increased quickly. In June, the company sold 4,353 BEVs, which is 77% more than a year ago and 3.0% of the total volume.  The number includes 1,837 Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickups and 1,957 Ford Mustang Mach-E. We estimated that Ford E-Transit sales stand at 559 (based on the cumulative number and previous reports). According to Ford, going into July, both F-150 Lightning and Mach-E dealer stock is higher than in June, which heralds stronger July sales ahead.  Noteworthy is also that over 70% of BEV sales are customers coming from other competitor brands. In the second quarter of 2022, Ford sold 15,527 all-electric vehicles (up 144% year-over-year), while so far this year sales almost reached 23,000 (up 77%)."

Its Model Y and Model 3 were the best-selling electric vehicles in June in several countries. The more sales data we get, the more we learn about the success of the manufacturer's vehicles. It was recently revealed that Model Y became the best-selling car in Norway in June, where EVs took 78.7% of the market share. In addition, the vehicle became the best-selling electric car in Sweden. However, sales figures for all cars in the country, not just EVs, are now available, and Model Y's success appears to be far greater than only in the EV market."

Later this year, Tesla will begin production of new Supercharger equipment that will enable non-Tesla EV drivers in North America to use Tesla Superchargers,” wrote the Biden-Harris Administration. "The pilot program would open the Supercharger Network with over 35,000 Superchargers worldwide to non-Tesla vehicles in the United States. As of this writing, the non-Tesla Supercharger Pilot is available in most of Europe, including those listed below.  France, The Netherlands, Norway, United Kingdom, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Finland , Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland" Original Source: https://www.teslarati.com/non-tesla-supercharger-pilot-united-states-launch/ TESLA SOLD 78,000 CHINA-MADE VEHICLES IN JUNE " U.S. electric vehicle maker Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) sold around 78,000 China-made vehicles in June, preliminary estimates published by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) showed on Wednesday.   This was up 142% from May, when Tesla sold 32,165 China-made vehicles, and up 135% from a year ago. The plant is undergoing an upgrade to boost its output, which requires it to suspend most production in the first two weeks of July, according to a separate internal memo seen by Reuters. The factory's goal is to eventually produce 22,000 cars per week, the memo said."

By the end of June 2022, China had 310 million vehicles, of which 10.1 million were NEVs, according to data released today by China's Ministry of Public Security. Of the 10.1 million NEVs, 8.1 million are pure electric vehicles, accounting for 80.93 percent of the total number of NEVs.In the first half of this year, a record 2.21 million NEVs were registered in China, the data show.  This is an increase of 1.11 million vehicles, or 100.26 percent, compared to the first half of last year. The share of NEVs among all new registrations was 19.90 percent, meaning one in five car buyers bought a NEV, according to the data."

Here's a quick recap of NIO Power Day 2022. The 500 kW fast chargers have peak currents of 650 amps – easily some of the most impressive power in the current industry and a clear response to competitors in China. In August of 2021, GAC Aion launched a 480 kW fast charger, which would have been more impressive if the company hadn't originally promised a 600 kW charger. Just last week, chairman and CEO of fellow EV automaker XPeng He Xiaopeng said the company would be gradually rolling out its own 480 kW/800V charging network later this year to support high-voltage charging on its upcoming G9 SUV."

What the company described to Green Car Reports is an order deposit, not a pre-order deposit. This is not an extra $5,000 refundable deposit, it explained, but an actual down payment on the vehicle. It's the beginning of a vehicle purchase process that will involve specific lenders and finance details soon. Fisker aims to deliver the Ocean One to the U.S., Canada, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Norway, and Sweden, all from November 2022 on, with the UK and France getting the launch version later next year."

The electric crossovers have an updated exterior, in addition to rumored powertrain changes. The standard E-Tron and Sportback appear to have the same front-end styling. The revised grille has an intersecting hexagonal mesh pattern, versus the current look with a mix of vertical elements and narrow slats. A rumor from last year claims that the refreshed E-Tron and E-Tron Sportback have a new battery that increases their range. They'll allegedly be able to cover 373 miles (600 kilometers) on a charge in the WLTP standard. The EPA ratings currently are 222 miles for the E-Tron and 218 miles for the Sportback."

The goal is for Norway to be an attractive host country for sustainable and profitable activity throughout the battery value chain, as well as attracting the large giga factories. During the press conference Vestre held at the battery factory Freyr in Mo i Rana, Northern Norway, he announced that Freyr's board has approved the construction of the giga factory at Mo.  Freyr's investment decision for Giga Arctic (formerly Giga Factory 1 and 2) is NOK 17 billion. The government will provide 4 billion NOK in the form of loans and guarantees for the giant factory."

Additionally, consideration should be given to access for EV chargers “during times of emergency such as evacuation from natural disasters,” as stated in the proposed rule. Argonne National Laboratory, a research center of the U.S. Department of Energy, issued a report this spring on using mapping tools to prioritize EV charger benefits in underserved communities. The report says that analyzing sea level rise data, as well as flood and fire risk data, can help determine “where to deploy EV infrastructure, where to allocate resources, and which populations are most at risk" Original Source: https://www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/urban-flooding-presents-challenges-for-electric-vehicle-charging-stations/626567/ FRIDGE UNIT WILL OPERATE FROM ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY "FRANCE: Carrier Transicold is to unveil Pulsor eCool, a refrigeration unit operating directly from the high voltage DC current generated by the batteries powering an electric light commercial vehicle.  Carrier Transicold's original Pulsor system, released in 2012, was the first LCV unit to harness the electrification potential of the company's E-Drive technology. In a vehicle with an internal combustion engine, the legacy system requires a generator to run on electric power.   Carrier says the new solution will deliver enhanced sustainability to customers choosing to operate a modern, electric urban delivery fleet."

Show #1401 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily, you trusted source of information. It's Friday 11th March, it's Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. RIVIAN CHANGING BATTERY CELLS TO LFP, FOLLOWING TESLA, AND HIGH-NICKEL - Electric vehicle maker Rivian plans to use new types of battery cells in its electric trucks, delivery vans and SUVs the company said Thursday in a 2021 fourth-quarter shareholder letter. These include cells made with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry for its standard-level vehicles, and high-nickel chemistry for its longer-range vehicles. - LFP battery cells do not require any nickel or cobalt, which can be expensive or hard to obtain. They are also generally considered more stable, but less energy-dense, than nickel cobalt aluminum oxide cells, which had been used by Tesla and other automakers in electric vehicles. - Rivian founder and CEO RJ Scaringe explained on an earnings call after hours on Thursday that the company and its suppliers are facing a variety of constraints due to the Covid pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and their impacts on global supply chains. - Rivian Commercial Vehicles, such as the EDV-700 it developed for Amazon, should have “similar daily range capabilities with LFP chemistry, and this chemistry provides meaningful cost savings for us,” Rivian wrote in its shareholder letter. - the R1T pickup and R1S SUV, Rivian expects an estimated range of over 260 miles with the LFP-based standard battery pack. Original Source : https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/10/rivian-changing-battery-cells-to-lfp-following-tesla-and-high-nickel.html RIVIAN SAYS IT DELIVERED NEARLY 1,000 ELECTRIC TRUCKS IN 2021 - Rivian, the buzzy electric vehicle company backed by Ford and Amazon, delivered 909 vehicles to customers in the fourth quarter of 2021, the company said in its second earnings report since its historic IPO last year. The company says it has delivered a total of 920 vehicles in 2021. - That number has increased since the start of new year. Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said that as of March 8th, the company has made 2,425 vehicles since the start of production. - In a shareholder letter, the company said it expects to produce only 25,000 vehicle over the course of 2022, including its R1T truck and its electric delivery vans for Amazon. Without supply chain problems, the company said it would be able to make 50,000 vehicles. - Rivian said it brought in $55 million in revenue over the course of the year, almost all of which in the last three months. It recorded a net loss of $2.5 billion in the fourth quarter and a net loss of $4.5 billion for the year. - In the earnings call, Rivian said that it saw an “increased rate” of cancellations after the price increase was made public, but that “more than half” came back after the company reversed itself.

The e-commerce giant is presently carrying a value of $15.6 billion on its books, according to company filings. - Unlike other carmakers that are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel in terms of the semiconductor crisis with supplies steadily improving over time, Rivian said it expects the exact opposite. Problems will actually become more acute as it tries to ramp up production into an ongoing shortage.

Trump. - The return of one of California's most powerful environmental prerogatives could have a significant impact on the type of cars Americans will drive in the coming decade, the amount of gasoline the nation consumes and its ability to reduce the tailpipe emissions that contribute heavily to climate change. - Seventeen other states and the District of Columbia have adopted the California rules, turning them into de facto national standards. Twelve other states are following California's mandate to sell only zero-emissions vehicles after 2035. - California's leaders say they intend to write an auto pollution rule that will phase out the internal combustion engine and replace it with zero-emission batteries. - Transportation is the largest single source of greenhouse gases generated by the United States, representing 29 percent of the nation's total emissions.A recent report by the International Energy Agency found that nations would have to end the sale of new gasoline-powered cars by 2035 to keep average global temperatures from increasing 1.5 Celsius, compared with levels during the Industrial Revolution.

The exact location isn't revealed, and Audi refers to it only as KALT 1. The fenced-in area covers nearly 9,000 acres and offers 51 miles of various roads and paths on which to drive. - he test car featured here wears the same camouflage coverings we've seen before, hiding minor design changes for the mid-cycle refresh. - the facelift looks to be very minor. We can see some outlines on the front and rear fascias, and everything looks like a match to the current model. The photos also include an interior shot of the prototype, and though we don't see the full greenhouse, what we do see is also a match to the current E-Tron Sportback. - Reports say that Audi will christen the updated E-Tron with a Q8 badge, thus giving it more symmetry with the rest of the lineup. The Q4 E-Tron is already out there, and the Q6 E-Tron is coming later this year. It certainly makes sense, and when a properly new model arrives in 2026, the Q8 E-Tron name will already have some history behind it.

For reservations of the Tesla Model Y in particular, delivery estimates change from six months from today (September), to two months (May), simply by choosing the FSD add-on. - Model 3 customers currently only see a month's advantage on delivery times buying FSD vs. not. However, Model Y customers might be more motivated to add the FSD option if they have the money and don't want to wait until September to drive their new EV. By spending $12,000 more, the Model Y delivery window jumps up to May, just two months from now.

Well good news, engineers in the UK have heard your prayers and fixed the Mustang by giving it electric power. - This magical new creation comes from a small engineering firm called Charge Cars. - the new EV uses an “official licensed” shell that the firm claims preserves the “classic design and styling of the legendary Ford Mustang.” - Charge Cars has fitted a 64 kWh battery pack and all-wheel-drive. This means the new electric Mustang has a range of 200 miles and will do zero to 60 in 3.9 seconds thanks to its 400kW of peak power. - All that electrical tech powering the car is thanks to Charge's partnership with EV manufacturer Arrival. - As well as “bespoke” leather seating and interior trim, the new Mustang also features a large screen in place of the center console. Instead of a cluster of gauges, Charge Cars has also added a second screen that shows your speed, range and state of charge.  Charge Cars puts a starting price of £350,000 on the new EV, which is $460,000 Original Source : https://jalopnik.com/the-british-finally-came-in-and-fixed-the-mustang-1848628624 THIS IS GOGORO'S FIRST SOLID-STATE BATTERY: IT COULD BE AN EV GAME-CHANGER Original Source : https://www.slashgear.com/777070/ev-charging-explained-the-fastest-chargers-at-home-and-on-the-road/ DPD ORDERS ANOTHER 150 ESPRINTER Original Source : https://www.electrive.com/2022/03/09/dpd-orders-another-150-esprinter/ XPENG OPENS P5 RESERVATION BOOKS IN FOUR EUROPEAN MARKETS   Original Source : https://insideevs.com/news/572707/xpeng-p5-european-reservation-open/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM Do you think rising fuel prices at the pumps will have a direct impact on EV sales?
