Podcasts about EK

In a recent episode of the Positive Aging Community podcast, host Steve Gurney sat down with Mary Ek, a key figure in the Dementia Friendly America (DFA) initiative, to discuss how communities across the United States are transforming to better support individuals living with dementia and their care partners. Ek, who has been involved since the program's early days, shared the origins, growth, and impact of DFA, highlighting its role in fostering welcoming environments where people with dementia can live, engage and thrive.From Minnesota Roots to National MovementEk's journey with dementia-friendly efforts began in 2011 in Minnesota, where she helped launch a statewide initiative called Act on Alzheimer's. Initially an educator turned project manager, Ek was drawn into the work after raising a large family. "I was part of the group that led the effort to get this going in Minnesota before it was handed off as a national initiative in 2015," she explained. She rejoined the effort in 2022, working remotely for USAging (formerly the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging), and has witnessed the program's remarkable expansion.The initiative took root through Minnesota's Area Agencies on Aging, which spearheaded community-level changes. Recognizing its potential, the program went national at the 2015 White House Conference on Aging. USAging stepped up as the administrator, leveraging its network of over 600 area agencies on aging and Title VI programs to provide a backbone for the movement. "They've been powering the Dementia Friendly America movement since 2015," Ek said, noting how the model from Minnesota—starting small and creating ripple effects—has scaled nationwide.What Is Dementia Friendly America?At its core, DFA is a multi-sector approach to building communities where people with dementia and their care partners can live well, engage socially, and remain in their homes as long as possible. "It's essentially a multi-sector approach to creating communities where people living with dementia and their care partners can live, engage, thrive, play, and just live well with dementia," Ek described. It's not limited to healthcare; it involves businesses, faith communities, libraries, banks, first responders, and more. The goal is to equip everyone—from individuals to organizations—with simple tools to make environments more supportive.The Three Pillars of DFADFA rests on three interconnected pillars, each designed to drive change at different levels:Dementia-Friendly Communities: This community-level effort brings sectors together to adapt spaces and services. Over 400 communities have engaged, starting with small steps like making faith communities or libraries more accessible. "It truly is a ripple effect," Ek said, noting how volunteer-driven groups, departments on aging, or local foundations lead these flexible, adaptable initiatives.Dementia Friends USA: Adopted in 2016 as a sub-license from the global program originating in Japan, this individual-focused pillar educates people on recognizing dementia signs, communication tips, and taking action. Participants commit to simple acts, like supporting a neighbor or encouraging others to join. With over 225,000 Dementia Friends across the U.S. and sessions in more than 40 states (plus an online option), it's a catalyst for broader change. "We want to teach people to walk toward people living with dementia rather than away," Ek explained.Memory Cafe Alliance: The newest pillar, this partnership provides safe, welcoming spaces for people with dementia and their care partners to socialize. Over 500 cafes are listed on the DFA website, offering free gatherings with food, music, activities, or entertainment. "It's not about the diagnosis; it's about just celebrating all that they can do and enjoy together," Ek said. An online curriculum helps anyone start a cafe, often beginning with Dementia Friends training.

In a podcast episode from the Positive Aging Community, Steve Gurney welcomed Mary Ek, Director of Dementia Friendly America (DFA), and Beth Soltzberg of the Memory Care Alliance to discuss Memory Cafes—innovative gatherings that transform community support for people living with dementia and their caregivers. This article summarizes their insights on the origins, impact, and future of Memory Cafes, emphasizing how these programs foster connection, reduce isolation, and challenge stigma.The Roots of Dementia Friendly AmericaMary Ek describes DFA not just as an organization, but a growing nationwide movement dedicated to building communities where people with dementia and their care partners can thrive. DFA began in Minnesota in 2011 as "Act on Alzheimer's" and expanded nationally after the 2015 White House Conference on Aging. Today, DFA partners with USAging, spans 400 communities, and supports over 225,000 trained “Dementia Friends”—people who learn to recognize dementia and respond supportively.Ek explains, “We do this through a multi-sector approach, knowing that everyone has a role in creating communities that welcome and engage those living with dementia and their care partners.” One recent DFA focus is its partnership with the Memory Cafe Alliance, whose directory and resources are now hosted on the DFA website.What Is a Memory Cafe?Beth Soltzberg, whose social work at Jewish Family & Children's Service in Boston made her a leader of Memory Cafes, reports starting with eight participants in 2014; her network now serves nearly 2,000. Memory Cafes, originating in Holland and now global, offer welcoming, fun social gatherings for people experiencing cognitive changes and those who care about them.Cafes vary widely—some feature artists or musicians, others emphasize casual conversation. Venues range from libraries and museums to gardens and bowling alleys. A short video from the podcast captures their spirit: “Memory Cafes are welcoming gatherings for those with cognitive changes or dementia, along with caring family, friends, and professionals. It's a social hour, which everyone needs.” Attendees say things like, “I learned joy at a memory cafe,” reflecting real emotional uplift.Combating Isolation and StigmaDementia can cause deep isolation due to symptoms, stigma, or misunderstanding. Soltzberg stressed how activities once enjoyed may become harder, increasing loneliness. Memory Cafes provide joyful, normalizing spaces to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones.By emphasizing fun and belonging, Cafes counter stigma. Soltzberg notes, “People can live with dementia for many years. They need to keep living their lives.” Ek points out that DFA's Dementia Friends program teaches meaningful engagement for non-professionals, turning uncertainty into positive action.Real-Life Stories of ImpactPersonal stories reveal the transformative power of Memory Cafes. Soltzberg recounted helping a woman invite her decades-long friend with dementia to a music-themed Cafe. The invitation rekindled friendship and gave remote relatives peace of mind, knowing a joyful activity was scheduled. Ek shared how a man, long after his wife's passing, remained close to other caregivers he'd met at a Cafe—proof that these are more than events, but life-changing connections.These interconnected initiatives remind us that dementia can be a catalyst for community and deeper connection. Soltzberg concluded, “People can live well with dementia. We need to work together to support that.” Learn more and find or launch a Memory Cafe at dfamerica.org or memorycafedirectory.com.

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that.

39 navi della Global Sumud Flotilla intercettate da Israele. Si tratta di una violazione del Diritto Penale Internazionale?

Insieme all’implementazione della funzione di ascolto della musica in alta definizione e della cancellazione di oltre 75 milioni di canzoni create con l’intelligenza artificiale, questa scelta arriva dopo le polemiche e le proteste scatenatesi per l’investimento dello stesso Ek in una start-up di droni militari.

My krag kom juis tot volle werking wanneer jy swak is.”. Hou jy daarvan om uitgedaag te word? So ‘n bietjie, solank dit my net nie ongemaklik laat voel nie. Ons gee nie om vir so 'n bietjie fisiese, intellektuele of emosionele uitdaging nie … solank dit ons nie onseker maak nie. Ek dink dis hoekom die meeste mense sommer vinnig die makliker uitweg kies.Ek het onlangs 'n interessante artikel van ‘n dame oor kognitiewe agteruitgang gelees. Die geleerde professor het gesê dat mense hier rondom sestig, 'n bietjie gemaklik raak. Hulle kan byvoorbeeld uitdagende en moeilike dinge vermy en op hul ervaring begin terugval. Dít, het sy gesê, is die ergste ding wat ons kan doen.Volgens haar, moet ‘n mens fokus op uitdagende aktiwiteite wat jou uitdaag en jou brein laat groei. Dis goeie raad, maar moenie nou agteruitsit en sê: Maar ek is nog nie 60 nie! Sy het ook gesê dat die mens se brein eintlik al op dertig begin krimp.So, hou jy daarvan om uitgedaag te word op 'n manier wat jou sal toets en selfs ongemak sal veroorsaak? Sommige atlete doen dit, maar die meeste mense is sku daarvoor. Ons is geneig om ‘n verskoning te soek en te sê, dit staan dan in die Bybel dat God getrou is en ons nie bo ons kragte sal versoek nie. Ons beskou sy liefde en trou as ‘n verskoning. Maar my vriend, dis nie reg nie.

In a crowded field of seven hopefuls, Zekharia Selahadin is hoping his simple grassroots approach will generate support on October 25th from voters in Elmwood- East Kildonan. Part 1- He moved to Canada from Ethiopia as a child and grew up in Elmwood, and has worked in childcare and with the Green Team. In Episode 49, Selahadin discusses the top issues he's hearing about at the doorstep- including crime and road and sidewalk conditions. He's joined the call for a replacement of the Louise Bridge. The new and far-from-improved Transit system also comes up, as "I've seen many individuals waiting for a bus and it's full and people are squished inside it. I've seen the frustration first-hand." It's affected his own family members getting to and from work at night and he worries about their safety, especially with the longer walks now required. Marty Gold asks him if the management of Winnipeg Transit needs to be hauled on the carpet.25.45 Part 2- Selahadin agrees "it's important to have a car" in Winnipeg but wants residential speed limits reduced to 30k and more bike lanes. 37.25- Crime and disorder from homeless encampments are impacting the ward. Selahadin says that while "police are trying their best" supports for those who want to get housed need to be maintained. He's not sure if a centralized encampment area, like at the Legislature, would work because "a fight club" could result between rival factions placed in close proximity to each other.

Ek het jou lief, sê die Here. 

Hij deed het weer! Tadej Pogacar pakte op magistrale wijze nog een wereldtitel na een loodzware koers in Rwanda. Sander Valentijn, Jeroen Vanbelleghem, Jan Hermsen en Bobbie Traksel kijken terug – en stiekem ook een paar jaar vooruit. We bespreken of en welke lessen er te trekken zijn uit dit WK, zeker ook voor Evenepoel na 'de fietswissel van de eeuw'. En we stellen de oprechte vraag dat dominantie mooi kan zijn, maar blijft dit ook leuk om naar te kijken? Leuk wordt het de komende week sowieso op Eurosport met een heel blik aan sterren bij het EK in Frankrijk en een baklading vol andere races die we bespreken in een ouderwets speedrondje. Maar voordat we de laatste fase van dit seizoen ingaan nemen we ook nog even onze eigen World Tour Power Rankings door! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Na de spectaculaire winst van Vallieres in de vrouwenwegrit een dag eerder, was er een kleine hoop dat ook bij de mannen het onverwachte zou gebeuren. En jawel, geheel tegen alle verwachtingen in kroont Pogacar zich ook dit jaar tot wereldkampioen. Toch genoten we vooral van Evenepoel, die ondanks al zijn pech, frustraties en een bijzonder trage fietswissel “gewoon” zilver pakt. Snel door naar het EK, want dat begint woensdag alweer.

Wednesday Oct. 1 2025, sundownEnding nightfall of Thursday Oct 2, 2025This morning we shall discuss the “Day of Atonement” or known as “Yom Kippur” [ Yom = the day, Kippur = ask for forgiveness].  Other words this is a special Feast in which you and I ask our Heavenly Father for all those sins which we may have overlooked throughout the past year.In recognition of Yahweh's Words, we are instructed to honor and respect His 7 Holy Feast periods. Check out Lev. 23 and Deut. 16. Now I realize that the conditions set forth by Yahweh differs from what He sets forth in the beginning. What caught my interest into these 7 Holy Feasts was the Prophetic Message contained within them. We find that within these 7, 4 are in the season of the spring, while the remaining 3 are in the fall or “harvest.  In studying the Prophecy aspect of Yahweh's Words, we realize and conclude that these 7 Holy Feasts play an important role in the Prophecy of Yahshua Messiah concerning the past and the present. Let's take a brief view of the first 4 Feasts:The Feast of Passover pointed to Yahshua's death on Calvary as “the Lamb of Yahweh, who taketh away the sin of the world”, John 1:29 The Feast of Unleavened Bread attested to the fact that Yahshua's body, unlike all others would not decay in the grave. The Son of Yahweh, in speaking with His Heavenly Father said, “for Thou wilt not leave My soul in hell, neither wilt Thou permit Thine Holy One to see corruption” Psalms 16:10 The Feast of Firstfruits proclaimed the certainty of His bodily resurrection. The acceptance by Yahweh of the Firstfruits [sheaf] of the spring barley harvest guaranteed a full harvest to follow. By virtue of the resurrection of Yahshua Messiah, He is the Firstfruit and guarantees that all the Saints within Him will one day rise from the grave. The Feast of Pentecost, which occurs exactly 50 days after Firstfruits [the resurrection of the Messiah] anticipated the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the origin of the “Ek-kelsia”. We read in the Jewish Talmud, in the tractate of Sotah, foli #48 it reads in part “when Haggai, Zechariah and Malachi died, the Holy Spirit departed from Israel; nevertheless they made use of the Bath Kol.” [a divine voice from Heaven] These 4 events in the life of Yahshua Messiah, which the 4 spring feasts depicted, are history. We can look back at these events and they can be examined as historical facts. We can say that the first 4 set the foundation for the remaining 3. [As I think on this foundation, I think of the Tabernacle, which is to come, and when this Tabernacle comes, then all of His Elect come to dwell in the eternal] The fall Feasts have not yet occurred! They are yet future and predict with absolute certainty, events that will most assuredly unfold. As the 4 spring Feasts were fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with the Messiah's first coming, the 3 Fall Feasts will likewise be fulfilled literally and right on schedule in connection with His second coming. What about the future of the Day of Atonement? Read Hebrews 10:1; Hebrews 9:6-14 As we read last week on that Feast of Trumpets. We find in Rev. 11 those 2 witnesses, when they rose after those 3 ½ days. In verse 15 we read of that 7th trumpet being blown. From the time of that trumpet sound until that final cup of wrath is poured out, we have that opportunity to make atonement for our sins that took place during the tribulation period. Especially those that followed after that false messiah, thinking he was that true Messiah. What a sad sight, as some flee to the mountains praying for the rocks to fall on them, instead of making atonement. Have any questions? Feel free to email me, keitner2024@outlook.com

Ek het ook nog nooit gesien hoe 'n glasoog in iemand se oogkas met 'n regte een vervang is nie. En ek het beslis nog nie gesien hoe iemand wat fisies dood was, weer lewendig geword het nie.Lasarus was 'n goeie vriend van Jesus. Hy het gesterf. Hulle het laat weet dat hy siek is, maar Jesus het doelbewus getalm. Teen die tyd dat Hy daar aangekom het, was Lasarus al vier dae in 'n graf. Sy liggaam was teen hierdie tyd nie meer so vars nie! Toe Jesus vir hulle sê om die klip weg te rol, het Marta, Lasarus se suster, geprotesteer: "Dit sal sleg ruik!"Johannes 11:40 Jesus sê toe vir haar: “Het Ek nie vir jou gesê dat as jy glo, jy die heerlikheid van God sal sien nie?” (NLV)Nie alle wonderwerke vind voor jou oë plaas nie. Sommige dinge gebeur in 'n ‘stadige oond'. Eers wanneer jy terugkyk oor die jare, skud jy jou kop en wonder: “Hoe het God dit gedoen?”Sommige dinge gebeur deur wonderbaarlike tydsberekening of voorsiening en jy staan verstom wanneer jy besef dat God aan die werk is, wanneer jy dit die minste verwag.Wat ook al op die oomblik met jou aan die gang is … hou jou oë oop. Want as jy werklik glo, sal jy die heerlikheid van God sien!Dis Sy Woord.

De schietpartij in Capelle aan den IJssel waarbij een 15-jarige jongen werd gedood door een agent hield de Telegraaf-redactie flink bezig deze week. In De Krant van Kamran vertelt de hoofdredacteur welke dilemma's gepaard gaan met het verslag doen van zo'n heftige gebeurtenis. Kamran Ullah blikt ook terug op de rellen op het Malieveld in Den Haag. Hij ziet hoe politieke partijen deze gebeurtenis voornamelijk aangrijpen voor electoraal gewin. En: verbijstering over een pro-Palestijns protest bij het EK honkbal in Den Haag.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Die proses is as volg: Dinge gebeur... en voor jy jouself kan kry, steek bekommernis en vrees sy kop uit. Maar te midde daarvan wil God hê ons moet weet dat Hy steeds in beheer is en dat Hy ons nooit sal verlaat nie. Hy wil hê ons moet, te midde van die storm; in elke situasie, sy vrede ervaar.Jeremia 29:11-13 Ek weet wat Ek vir julle beplan, sê die Here: voorspoed en nie teenspoed nie; Ek wil vir julle 'n toekoms gee, 'n verwagting!

Kaffee für 1,10 € wie in Italien? Klingt romantisch – ist aber ein Märchen. Wer in Deutschland seinen Espresso oder Cappuccino so bepreist, arbeitet nicht kostendeckend. Bauchgefühl, beim Nachbarn schauen oder EK x 4 hilft aber oft auch nicht weiter. I got you! In diesem Guide zeige ich dir Schritt für Schritt: - wie du vom Kilo Kaffee auf die Tasse runterrechnest, - welche Maschinen-, Milch- und Personalkosten pro Tasse anfallen, - warum die Mehrwertsteuer To-Go vs. Inhouse dein Preisgefühl komplett auf den Kopf stellt, und wie du deine Preise fair kalkulierst, ohne Angst vor Gästereaktionen. Am Ende weißt du: - Ab welchem Preis du wirklich Gewinn machst. - Warum 30 Cent Bohnenaufschlag sich auf tausende Euro summiert. - Ob es Sinn macht, Hafermilch extra zu berechnen. Kalkulieren statt Kaffeesatz lesen – so gehst du in der Gastro (oder im Büro) auf Nummer sicher.

Send us a textHabakuk 2:3 Die openbaring geld vir 'n bepaalde tyd; dit sal gou kom want dit kom beslis. Jy moet net geduldig bly wag as dit nie gou kom nie, want dit kom beslis, dit sal nie uitbly nie. Het jy al, terwyl jy wag op 'n deurbraak, jouself tussen 'n hamer en ‘n aambeeld vasgevang gevind... en jy wag, en jy wag, en jy wag... Sal daardie deurbraak betyds kom, of sal alles tot niet gaan? Ek is seker jy het dit al meer as een keer ervaar. En wanneer dinge op die randjie van ineenstorting wankel, kan dit jou ernstig laat twyfel oor God se tydsberekening.In Augustus 1776, tydens die Amerikaanse Rewolusie, is George Washington se Kontinentale Leër deur die Britte in Brooklyn vasgekeer. Washington het, met die oog op 'n dreigende nederlaag, 'n waaghalsige nagtelike terugtog oor die East River beplan. Die Britse leer, het op daardie tydstip gewag op die Britse vloot om hul troepe te versterk. Toe 'n skielike storm die Britse vloot vertraag het, het daar nog ‘n wonderwerk plaasgevind. Die volgende oggend het 'n digte mis Washington se leër se ontsnapping moontlik gemaak deur hulle bewegings totaal te bedek. Elke soldaat en al die toerusting kon veilig na Manhattan beweeg voordat die Britte ontdek het dat die kamp dolleeg was.Daardie wonderbaarlike tydsberekening het veroorsaak dat die Rewolusie, wat uiteindelik tot die Amerikaanse onafhanklikheid gelei het, voortgegaan het. God se perfekte tydsberekening het die verloop van die geskiedenis verander.Ek is seker Washington sou verkies het dat hy nie so in 'n hoek vasgedruk was nie en dat hy nie 'n gewisse nederlaag in die gesig gestaar het nie. En dit is dieselfde vir ons, wanneer ons swaarkry.Maar gedurende 'n tyd van groot onrus en omwenteling in Israel se geskiedenis, het God die volgende vir hulle gesê:Habakuk 2:3 Die openbaring geld vir 'n bepaalde tyd; dit sal gou kom want dit kom beslis. Jy moet net geduldig bly wag as dit nie gou kom nie, want dit kom beslis, dit sal nie uitbly nie.Dit maak nie saak hoe onseker dinge lyk nie; onder hoeveel druk jy verkeer nie, en hoe desperaat jy God nodig het om nóú op te daag nie; onthou sy tydsberekening is altyd beter as joune.Dis God se Woord.

Send us a textFilippense 4:6-7 Moet oor niks besorg wees nie, maar maak in alles julle begeertes deur gebed en smeking en met danksegging aan God bekend. En die vrede van God wat alle verstand te bowe gaan, sal oor julle harte en gedagtes die wag hou in Christus Jesus. As jy eerlik met jouself wil wees, moet jy erken dat dit regtig baie natuurlik vir ons is om ons oor dinge te bekommer. Soveel van die belangrike dinge in die lewe is buite ons beheer; so wanneer daardie een "ding" wat 'n groot impak op ons lewens kan hê, onseker aan ‘n draadjie hang, bekommer ons onsself daaroor. Ek wonder waaroor jy jou op die oomblik bekommer? Is dit 'n gesondheidsdiagnose; finansies; kinders of iets anders? Soms bekommer ons onsself onophoudelik oor die onbenulligste dingetjies.En die probleem met bekommernis is dat dit selfonderhoudend is: Hoe meer jy jou bekommer ... hoe meer bekommer jy jou. Dit lei jou in ‘n tipe afwaartse spiraal en wanneer jy in daardie posisie is, kan jy tog nie werklik jou lewe geniet nie, nè? Maar wat sal gebeur indien ons ons bekommernisse in 'n heel ander lig beskou? Paulus skryf vanuit ‘n dodesel in:Filippense 4:6-7 Moet oor niks besorg wees nie, maar maak in alles julle begeertes deur gebed en smeking en met danksegging aan God bekend. En die vrede van God wat alle verstand te bowe gaan, sal oor julle harte en gedagtes die wag hou in Christus Jesus.Wat sal gebeur wanneer ons elke bekommernis as 'n teken sou beskou dat ons daaroor moet bid? As ons dit elke keer wanneer ons onsself bekommer, as 'n gebedsgeleentheid sien – wag ‘n bietjie, stop en bid – dan ervaar ons hoe die belofte dat God se vrede oor al ons gedagtes en gevoelens sal waghou, ‘n werklikheid word. Dis tog soveel beter as enigiets wat ek of jy ooit kan optower.En dis God se Woord.

Hostia: Igor Melicher (štátny tajomník na Ministerstve obrany SR; Smer-SD) a Tomáš Valášek (poslanec NR SR; Progresívne Slovensko). | Šéfka eurokomisie Ursula von der Leyenová v prejave o stave Únie hovorila o potrebe vybudovať „múr proti dronom“ na východnej hranici NATO. EK poskytne šesť miliárd eur a uzavrie s Ukrajinou spojenectvo v oblasti bezpilotných lietadiel. Zástupcovia pohraničných štátov a Ukrajiny by mali rokovať v piatok, pozvanie však nedostalo Slovensko ani Maďarsko. Ako by mal takýto múr vyzerať a z akých komponentov by mal byť zložený? Aké sú dôvody vynechania Slovenska a Maďarska z rokovaní? Nakoľko ojedinelý prípad to je a čo to hovorí o pozícii Slovenska v obrannej schéme európske a atlantickej obrany v regióne? O aký formát rokovaní v piatok pôjde a aký je očakávaný ďalší postup? Posledné týždne priniesli bezprecedentné prípady narušenia vzdušného priestoru spojencov – takmer dvoma desiatkami útočných dronov v Poľsku a viac ako desaťminútovým incidentom ruských stíhačiek v Litve. Ruské drony už boli aj nad územím Rumunska. Bola reakcia dotknutých štátov a Aliancie adekvátna? Čo by mohlo spôsobiť zostrelenie nepriateľskej stíhačky vo vzdušnom priestore NATO? Mali by krajiny Aliancie na bezprostredné letecké hrozby reagovať už nad územím Ukrajiny, ako tá sama požaduje? Nakoľko slovenské obranné plány reflektujú realitu modernej vojny a hrozby nových autonómnych a bezpilotných zbraní? Akým spôsobom je aktuálne zabezpečená ochrana vzdušného priestoru? V akom štádiu je nákup systémov protivzdušnej obrany, ak vláda schválila obchod s Izraelom pred rokom? | Obrana Slovenska pre dronovými hrozbami. | Moderuje: Juraj Jedinák; | Diskusiu Z prvej ruky pripravuje Slovenský rozhlas, Rádio Slovensko, SRo1.

In sommige gevalle kan ons onsself daaruit kry. In ander, is dit nie so eenvoudig nie.Oor die afgelope paar dae het ons gesien dat daardie verskynsel so oud soos die berge is. Adam en Eva was ongehoorsaam aan God in die Tuin van Eden, deur ‘n verbode vrug te eet, en hulle is daardeur permanent uit die Paradys, na 'n lewe van pyn, lyding en arbeid, uitgeskop.En dit is die einste dilemma waarmee ons elkeen te kampe het. Ons het almal ons rug op God gedraai. Ons het Hom almal gefaal. Ons is almal in presies dieselfde posisie waarin Adam en Eva hulself bevind het. Ons is permanent van God geskei, tensy iets drasties verander. Dis die slegte nuus.Efesiërs 2:4,5 Maar God is ryk in barmhartigheid en het ons innig lief.

The delays in repairing the Louise Bridge made Braydon Mazurkiewich decide to put his name on the ballot, and he's bringing a brash style of campaigning to the October 25th by-election in Elmwood- East Kildonan. Part 1 - He knows his way around political campaigns, but after the City of Winnipeg continually missed target dates to get the Louise Bridge open this, Braydon Mazurkiewich decided to try to succeed his late friend Jason Schreyer as councillor for Elmwood- East Kildonan. He takes credit for the flurry of work on-site to get repairs finished. We discusse his appearance at the community committee, where his call for a new bridge to be part of the next budget process was supported. Then he responds to the statements of Coun. Janice Lukes, chair of Public Works, dismissing the idea of a new bridge out of hand. "Maz" believes it's another example of people in the northeast quadrant getting the shaft while residents in southern wards like those of Lukes gets highways and recreation centres. He voices other criticism of the "elites" who he says call the shots at 510 Main Street. and "give lip service" to the needs of the EK ward. Marty Gold prompts a discussion about how difficult travel from the east side of Winnipeg going to the west is continually throttled. 14.00- Speaking to voters at the door, Maz says "it's all about the crime... we've got to clean up our city, man." He wants investment in youth programs and beat cops restored to the area as break-ins, vandalism and violence plague the businesses and residents like the seniors and veterans at the Legion Gardens - "they deserve some respect."19.57 Part 2- At City Hall, "I'm going to be the squeaky wheel." Maz says he's personally seen the brazen theft at the 7-Eleven and the stolen bike chop shops at illegal encampments on our riverbanks. "The city has dumped all their money to Main Street Project and it's not working... We have to find out who's doing a good job and support that one." 29.30 - Mazurkiewich is critical of how city neglect of the EK ward is affecting home equity by allowing the neighborhoods of "the hard working people" to slide, devaluing their homes. "This area needs some significant investment." 31.50- As for another candidate talking about being part of a "team" on council if they're elected, Maz says "the team you represent at city hall are the people that elect you in your ward so you can fight for every dollar that they deserve... I am on Team Elmwood-East Kildonan."The byelection is on October 25th. For more details on the Maz campaign, go to fightforelmwoodek.ca*****Marty Gold has been filing front page news in the Winnipeg Sun about important issues- here's the latest:- A city podcast recently described how “Inspector Helen Peters sees the glass half full for everything, particularly our downtown. Today, as a leader in downtown safety, she workshard so people can be proud of where they live.” She may be working hard, but no one is proud to live on Waterfront Drive, or in any of the districts where the theft, violence, screaming and mayhem are allowed by the authorities to carry on.

Last time we spoke about the Battle for South Sakhalin and the Kurile Islands. In August 1945, as Japan teetered on the edge of destruction following the atomic bombings, a desperate situation unfolded. The Soviet Union launched a sudden invasion of Manchuria, catching Japanese forces off guard. On August 14, Japan's decision to surrender was made, announced to the world the following day. However, the Kwantung Army resisted fiercely, engaging in frantic evacuations. In South Sakhalin, Japanese defenders clashed with advancing Soviet troops, facing overwhelming odds. By August 18, chaos reigned on the Japanese side, with forces surrendering and civilians in panic. As the Soviets pushed forward, the situation became increasingly dire for Japan. Despite valiant resistance, the imminent defeat became clear. In a moment of critical decision, Emperor Hirohito accepted the surrender terms, officially sealing Japan's fate and marking the end of the Pacific War. However the Soviets had not yet stopped their onslaught.  This episode is the Soviet Victory in Asia Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson. But, before we start I want to also remind you this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube. Perhaps you want to learn more about world war two?

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945.  We are drawing near to the real conclusion of this series! Japan has officially surrendered, however the Soviets are not done just yet. East asia is a delicious piece of cake, laid wide open and Stalin intends to take every piece he can grab before the curtain falls. Now as we last left off it was August 18, and General Yamada's Kwantung Army had surrendered to the Soviet forces led by Marshal Vasilevsky, who were advancing rapidly through Manchuria. Yet, some Japanese units, like those at Kalgan, continued to resist occupation until the month's end. On August 19, following Yamada's announcement that all military operations had ceased, a Soviet delegation arrived at Hsinking.  A daring operation took place, where a 225-strong detachment from the 6th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade, part of the 5th Guards Tank Corps, was airlifted to the city's main airfield. This mission, along with others, was carried out under orders from Marshal Vasilevsky on August 18, following the commander's initial offer of surrender from the Kwantung Army. Vasilevsky's directive was urgent: “The Japanese resistance is broken, and the challenging road conditions hinder the swift advance of our main forces. We need to deploy specially formed, fast-moving, and well-equipped units to capture Changchun, Mukden, Jilin, and Harbin immediately. These units should remain flexible for future missions, regardless of their distance from the main forces.”The push to accelerate operations came directly from Stalin himself. In Kulichkin's biography of Marshal Vasilevsky, he recounts a pivotal phone call on August 15. Stalin was informed that the Japanese had “lost command and control” and were unable to mount a strong defense, with their forces divided into several fragmented groups. Vasilevsky confidently stated, “Even a miracle cannot save the Japanese from total defeat,” stressing the need to maintain the momentum of the offensive. Stalin's response was straightforward: “Good. We need to increase the pace. What proposals do you have?” Vasilevsky revealed plans to use airborne assault forces against larger cities like Harbin, Changchun, Jilin, and Mukden, alongside advanced mobile units across all combined arms armies. These units, consisting of tanks and assault guns, were fully equipped with desantniki, ready to engage firmly in the ongoing operations. The landing at Shenyang revealed a remarkable twist of fate. Waiting at the airfield for evacuation to Japan was none other than the recently abdicated Emperor Puyi of Manchukuo. On August 15, 1945, Puyi tuned in to the radio and listened to Emperor Hirohito's address announcing Japan's surrender. In this historic speech, the Showa Emperor referred to the Americans' use of a "most unusual and cruel bomb," which had just devastated Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For Puyi, this was the first revelation of the atomic bombings, information that the Japanese had conveniently withheld from him until that moment. The aircraft carrying Major Chelyshev's force, escorted by fighter planes, landed at 1:15 PM without any opposition and captured him. This small unit's survival hinged on remaining unchallenged, and they successfully secured the airfield. They also freed several Allied personnel held at the nearby Hoten prisoner-of-war camp. As soon as the landing was secured, additional reinforcements were airlifted in later that day, led by General Kravchenko, the commander of the 6th Guards Tank Army. He formally accepted the city's surrender, and the Soviets then transported Puyi to the Siberian town of Chita.  Meanwhile, Vasilevsky's ground offensive pressed on, mostly unopposed, though some resistance persisted. In the Transbaikal Front, Marshal Malinovsky's General Pliyev led his cavalry-mechanized units against the Japanese forces at Kalgan. Other units reached Jehol and accepted the surrender of the 108th Division. General Danilov's 17th Army secured the Shanhaiguan coast, while General Managarov's 53rd Army pushed towards Kailu. The main force of General Kravchenko's 6th Guards Tank Army regrouped at Tungliao and Kaitung, preparing to advance south toward Mukden. General Lyudnikov's 39th Army steadily approached Changchun, confronting the bypassed 107th Division, and General Luchinsky's 36th Army occupied Tsitsihar, accepting the surrender of the 136th Independent Mixed Brigade. At the same time, on General Purkayev's 2nd Far Eastern Front, General Teryokhin's 2nd Red Banner Army continued its siege of the Aihun fortified region. Meanwhile, a forward detachment moved slowly south through the Lesser Khinghan Mountains. General Mamonov's 15th Army began capturing and processing prisoners from the many retreating Japanese units after a successful amphibious assault secured Sansing. The Amur Flotilla supported the army's push towards Harbin, while General Pashkov's 5th Rifle Corps finally reached Poli, which had already been occupied by other Soviet units. In Marshal Meretskov's 1st Far Eastern Front, forward detachments of General Zakhvatayev's 35th Army began arriving at Linkou, focusing on the surrender of Japanese units in the area. Rear elements effectively eliminated the last traces of enemy resistance in the Hutou fortified area.  After a challenging struggle through the wetlands and the capture of Mishan on August 12, advanced detachments of the 35th Army's main force, the 66th and 363rd Rifle Divisions, continued their advance against minimal opposition. The situation was starkly different to their rear, where the 1056th Rifle Regiment of the 264th Rifle Division, supported by the heavily reinforced 109th Fortified Region, worked to dismantle the now-isolated Hutou fortified area. Despite the dire circumstances, the garrison refused to surrender. Thus, the focus shifted to systematically eliminating their defenses, which became a painstaking task. The attackers deployed an artillery destruction group, secured air supremacy, and utilized well-trained assault formations. Their techniques included pouring kerosene or gasoline into ventilation shafts of underground structures, sometimes in alarming quantities. For instance, two tonnes of gasoline were recorded being poured into a single installation before ignition was applied. Despite the brutal and methodical obliteration of their positions, the defenders continued to ignore orders to surrender. Notably, on August 18, a Japanese prisoner was sent under a flag of truce to inform those still holding out that the war was officially over; tragically, he was hacked to death by a sword-wielding officer. Ultimately, this stubbornness led to catastrophic consequences: about 3,000 defenders were killed, blasted and burned, before a small number finally capitulated. Additionally, advanced detachments of General Beloborodov's 1st Red Banner Army reached Shangzhi before continuing towards Harbin, and forward elements of General Krylov's 5th Army pushed on toward Jilin. General Chistyakov's 25th Army commenced disarming General Murakami's 3rd Army, while the 10th Mechanized Corps advanced rapidly westward, crossing the Laoilin Mountain passes to arrive at Tunhua by nightfall. Over in North Korea, the 335th Rifle Division successfully landed in Chongjin, as General Kabanov's Southern Defense Region prepared for an assault on Gensan. In South Sakhalin, despite the surrender of the 125th Regiment and ongoing negotiations with General Mineki's 88th Division, Soviet forces opted to proceed with the planned landing at Maoka. Consequently, Admiral Andreyev's Northern Pacific Flotilla departed from Sovetskaya Gavan in the morning, carrying the bulk of the 113th Rifle Brigade along with a battalion of marines for the long and challenging voyage to Maoka. On Shumshu Island, as General Gnechko's forces were landing their artillery to renew their assault, Japanese officers unexpectedly approached the Soviets under flags of truce, carrying a letter from General Tsutsumi proposing negotiations for surrender. Representatives from both sides began discussions, and by 6 PM, the 91st Division formally surrendered the garrisons of Shumshu, Paramushir, and Onekotan. On August 20, Gnechko dispatched a small detachment on six vessels to seize control of the airfield at Kataoka. However, as they crossed the Second Kuril Strait, batteries on both sides of the narrow waterway opened heavy fire on the Soviet ships, forcing them to withdraw. This breach of the surrender agreement sparked a renewed offensive at 1 PM, coordinated with air strikes. The bases at Kataoka and Kashiwabar were bombed by 61 aircraft, which dropped over 200 bombs, enabling ground troops to push forward up to six kilometers. It was not until General Tsutsumi intervened that the Soviets were assured the Japanese would indeed lay down their arms. Meanwhile, Andreyev's convoy arrived at Maoka harbor on the morning of August 20, successfully landing the first wave of marines amid heavy fog. They quickly spread out and secured the area while the second and third waves of infantry followed behind. By noon, the port area was secured, and the marines began advancing eastward into the city, supported by infantry on their flanks. Taken by surprise, the Japanese defenders were ultimately compelled to retreat, with the 113th Rifle Brigade pursuing them through the mountains to the villages of Futamata and Osaka. In Manchuria, between August 20 and 21, Vasilevsky's units continued their advance to occupy the region's main centers. Stalin urged for greater speed, fearing that any delay might prompt President Truman to order General MacArthur's air-naval assault forces to land there. Notably, Pliyev's first column successfully captured Kalgan, while his second column moved south toward Beijing, securing Gubeikou at the border. Located in one of the passes through the Great Wall, marking the border between Manchukuo and China, the town was garrisoned by Japanese units. These forces surrendered upon the approach of the Soviet troops, who then quickly advanced toward Beijing, about 100 kilometers away. Although not the former capital itself, this area was under the control of Chinese Communist forces known as the 8th Route Army, who aligned with the Soviets. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek was acutely aware that any Japanese capitulation to the Communists in northern China would allow the latter to occupy vital territories, making their removal difficult. Consequently, he commanded the 8th Route Army not to accept any Japanese surrenders, insisting they only surrender to Nationalist forces, with dire punishments threatened for defiance. Adding to the complexity, the Soviet Union and China had signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, discussed at Yalta, just six days earlier on August 14. This treaty promised mutual respect for sovereignty and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. The Soviets had also committed to providing “moral support and aid in military supplies and other material resources” exclusively to the National Government as the legitimate central authority of China. Thus, a significant political and military predicament loomed. However, the Soviets quickly extricated themselves from this situation when Malinovsky issued an order forbidding Pliyev's forces from crossing the border. As Pliyev recounted, his formations were poised just halfway between Chengde and Beijing, needing “only one 'leap' to the Chinese capital.” He noted, “I had to suspend the offensive and move north beyond the Great Wall.” Units from the 6th Guards Tank Army occupied both Changchun and Mukden, initiating a rail movement towards Port Arthur and Dairen. For those curious, at Pingfan and Changchun, General Shiro Ishii and the remaining personnel from Units 731 and 100 were captured by Soviet forces. In a tragic turn of events, all test subjects were murdered and cremated, while the Japanese attempted to destroy evidence of their facilities but were unable to do so in time. Following their capture, the Soviets launched an extensive campaign to uncover the secrets behind Units 731 and 100, leading to the Khabarovsk Trial. If you want to learn more about what I would call “japans operation paperclip”, the secret dealings between Unit 731 and the Allies after the war, I did make an episode about it over on my patreon. Its pretty gruesome stuff so big disclaimer there.' The Soviets arrived to Dairen on 24 August, although these places had surrendered to air-landed forces two days earlier. This was, no doubt, much to the relief of Stalin, as these were amongst the main locations where he most feared American intervention. Indeed, on the day of the landing he had told Vasilevsky to ‘keep in mind' the fact that any delay could mean ‘Truman will order General MacArthur to land his naval assault forces'. The long-resisting 135th Independent Mixed Brigade finally surrendered at Aihun, while advanced units of the 2nd Red Banner Army secured Nencheng and Peian before pushing towards Tsitsihar and Harbin. Forward detachments from the 15th and 1st Red Banner Armies also reached the already-occupied Harbin. Furthermore, advanced units of the 5th and 25th Armies arrived in Jilin to reinforce the air-landed detachment there. Additionally, units from the 88th Rifle Corps and the 10th Mechanized Corps began their southward movement into Korea, heading toward the 38th Parallel. In North Korea, Kabanov dispatched a marine battalion and other units, totaling around 2,000 men, to occupy the fortified port of Gensan on August 20. The following morning, the landing force arrived and disembarked without opposition. However, the Japanese garrison refused to surrender until orders from higher command were received. Meanwhile, Japanese troops began to peacefully surround the harbor area, while Soviet sailors and marines, in a similarly calm manner, took up their defensive positions. As Kabanov noted, “An incomprehensible situation arose, neither peace nor war. The enemy has numerical superiority, but he neither fights nor wants to capitulate.” Unsurprisingly, he added, “the night passed in suspense.” The surreal situation was resolved when Rear Admiral Hori Yugoro and Colonel Tado boarded the frigate EK-3 to meet with Captain Studenichnikov on the morning of August 22. During their discussions, they attempted to negotiate terms, but the Soviet captain issued a bold threat of an immediate large-scale air strike and the initiation of hostilities at the port unless they surrendered unconditionally. While the latter was likely an empty threat, the Japanese officers signed the surrender agreement nonetheless. The process of surrendering the garrison began that evening and continued until August 26. In total, the Soviets captured more than 7,000 officers and men, along with all their military equipment. Looking toward the northern Kuriles, Japanese forces on Shumshu finally began to lay down their weapons on the afternoon of August 22, as Gnechko's units spread out to secure the island. In Manchuria, airborne detachments were also landed at Dairen and Port Arthur to secure these key administrative centers before the Americans could take control. Vanguard units of the 6th Guards Tank Army arrived to reinforce them two days later. Meanwhile, in South Sakhalin, heavy fighting persisted at Futamata despite Mineki's ceasefire agreement on August 22. Soviet air strikes supported the ground forces when weather conditions allowed, and the Japanese finally surrendered by the nightfall of August 23. At the same time, Andreyev dispatched three marine battalions on a small convoy to capture Otomari. However, a fierce storm forced the flotilla to seek refuge in the port of Honto on the morning of August 24. Once the storm subsided that evening, the force left a company of marines to garrison the port and resumed their voyage to Otomari, arriving there on the morning of August 25, just as elements of the 113th Rifle Brigade reached the eastern outskirts of the city. By noon, the 88th Division surrendered, and the city was secured. Shortly after, the 214th Tank Brigade arrived at Toyohara to secure South Sakhalin's administrative center. Thus, the South Sakhalin operation concluded with nearly 18,320 Japanese soldiers taken prisoner. Yet, this wouldn't mark the end of operations for General Cheremisov's 16th Army. Stalin pushed for the 87th and 135th Rifle Brigades, along with three marine battalions, to assemble at Otomari and execute amphibious landings on the southern Kurile Islands, specifically, Etorofu, Shikotan, and Kunashiri, and the islets of the Habomai group. The failure to include the Kuril Islands in the areas designated for surrender to Soviet forces in Truman's General Order No. 1, originally issued on August 15, exacerbated Stalin's inherent suspicions regarding American intentions. Consequently, Vasilevsky was instructed to organize landings on the Kurils, ensuring that, similar to Port Arthur, Soviet occupation would manifest physically through boots on the ground. Despite Truman's subsequent correction of the omission, mistrust endured, as did the directive to occupy the islands. However, where Stalin hesitated was concerning Hokkaido. Truman's somewhat abrupt rejection of Stalin's demand for a portion of Hokkaido undoubtedly irritated the Soviet dictator, yet he chose not to take further action. Scholarly debates have arisen around the rationale behind Stalin's ‘retreat.' When viewed within the framework of his stated geostrategic goal of securing the Soviet Union's sea lines of communication in the Pacific, it becomes understandable. Churchill once likened the Soviet Union's challenges in this regard to those of a “giant with his nostrils pinched.” A look at the map reveals that control of the Kurils would significantly alleviate this pressure in the Far East, making their acquisition crucial. Similarly, occupying southern Sakhalin would allow the Soviet Union to control the northern side of the La Pérouse Strait, which connects the Sea of Japan to the Sea of Okhotsk. The strait's opposite shore is formed by the northern coast of Hokkaido, and possessing this area would undeniably enhance the security of communications and is therefore highly desirable. However, any unilateral action in this regard would incur a significant and public breach with the Americans, the consequences of which could not be easily predicted. Given that Stalin's claim to the Kurils was firmly based on the agreement reached at Yalta, an agreement which Truman honored, his choice to avoid completely rupturing relations with the U.S. was motivated by strategic self-interest. Consequently, Andreyev's flotilla, carrying these units, departed Otomari on August 27, reaching the west coast of Etorofu at 3:15 AM on August 28. The landing, conducted using small boats, went unopposed and was met by the surrender of General Ogawa's 89th Division. The occupation of the other islands was also peaceful, with the Soviets securing Kunashiri by September 2, and Shikotan and the Habomai islets by September 5. The remaining northern Kurile Islands surrendered without incident as elements of Gnechko's Kamchatka forces arrived at Paramushir on August 24, Onekotan and Shiashkotan on August 25, Matsuwa by August 26, Shimushiru on August 27, and Uruppu by August 29. In total, 63,840 prisoners were taken throughout the Kuriles. On August 24, air-landed detachments arrived at the cities of Pyongyang and Kange to secure the last administrative centers in North Korea. Two days later, units of the 25th Army reached Gensan. With this move, albeit with some geographical liberties, Chistyakov asserted that "the troops of the 25th Army, on the orders of Marshal Meretskov, reached the 38th Parallel.” In the days that followed, units of General Kushibuchi's 34th Army gradually began to surrender and disarm. Finally, in Manchuria, most of Yamada's units had surrendered and were being disarmed. However, one unit continued to resist until the end of the month. The bypassed and encircled 107th Division was engaged in fierce fighting for survival against the 94th Rifle Corps. Due to a lack of communication with Kwantung Army Headquarters, they did not receive any ceasefire orders. As a result, a staff officer from General Iida's 30th Army was dispatched by plane to locate the division and deliver the ceasefire orders. The 107th Division was found near Chalai, and the plane made a forced landing between the Japanese troops and the opposing Soviet forces. The staff officer successfully delivered the orders terminating hostilities in that sector on August 30, which the Japanese troops promptly complied with. By September 1, units of the 53rd Army occupied Kailu, Chaoyang, Fuhsin, and Gushanbeitseifu, while forward detachments secured the Chinchou area on the Liaotung Peninsula. This marked the conclusion of the Manchurian campaign, with the Soviets claiming to have captured between 594,000 and 609,000 prisoners of war across Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, and North Korea. The captured Japanese military personnel were subjected to forced labor in Siberian internment camps, as well as camps in Sakhalin, Manchuria, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia. A significant number were assigned to the construction of the Baikal-Amur Mainline. Unfortunately, the treatment of prisoners of war was deemed inhumane and mishandled. Many suffered from malnutrition, overwork, cave-ins, floods, unsanitary working conditions leading to epidemics, harsh winter weather, violent guards, and brutal suppression of even mild resistance. Disturbingly, some Japanese prisoners were even lynched by their fellow captives. Estimates suggest that between 60,000 and 347,000 Japanese died in captivity. Although 18,616 prisoners were released in 1946, the process of repatriating prisoners of war extended into the 1950s. Those who remained after 1950 were detained for various convictions. However, their release began in 1953 under different amnesties. Following Josef Stalin's death and the subsequent Khrushchev Thaw, the Soviet attitude toward the remaining Japanese prisoners shifted significantly. Accompanied by Soviet officials, they were taken on tours of cities and allowed to purchase gifts for their families. Before repatriation, a banquet in Khabarovsk, hosted by Nikolai Gagen, included high-ranking prisoners such as Jun Ushiroku as attendees. The last major group of 1,025 Japanese POWs was released on December 23, 1956. After that, some Japanese POWs were released in small groups, with some only returning in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Interestingly, some prisoners who had been held for decades, many of whom had married and started families during their captivity, chose not to return permanently to Japan. The Soviets committed numerous war crimes during their invasion and occupation of Manchuria and other Japanese territories. During the invasion, Soviet soldiers killed and raped Japanese civilians and looted civilian property. Following the Soviet invasion of Manchuria on August 9, 1945, a large number of Japanese citizens residing in the region sought to repatriate to Japan. The Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers supervised this mass movement and, in October 1945, delegated responsibility to Japan's Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Kwantung Army, which was meant to protect the Japanese settlers in Manchuria, quickly retreated and abandoned them. With most able-bodied men drafted into the army, the majority of those left behind were women, children, and the elderly, rendering them highly vulnerable to attacks from Soviet soldiers and local Chinese seeking revenge.In Soviet-occupied Manchuria and North Korea, the repatriation of Japanese civilians was characterized by violent expulsions, accompanied by widespread looting, mass killings, and rampant sexual violence perpetrated by both Soviet soldiers and local populations seeking retribution. Many Japanese civilians succumbed to starvation, disease, mass killings, and mass suicides. Approximately 223,000 Japanese civilians residing in the Soviet-occupied zones died, most within a year and a half after August 9, 1945. Regarding the extensive rape of Japanese women and girls by Soviet soldiers, a former Japanese soldier, Wakatsuki Yoshio, detailed these grim experiences in his memoir, The Records of Postwar Repatriation “What word can possibly describe the violence committed by the Soviet soldiers on Japanese women? I can only think of the word “hideous”. The victim could be a girl of twelve or thirteen years old or an old lady of almost seventy years old. These soldiers did not choose the sites where they raped them, in public, in broad daylight, even on snow-covered roads”. The Soviet invasion of Manchuria in 1945 left many Japanese women stranded after their male family members were either conscripted or killed. These women, including young girls, endured severe hardships, facing gang rapes by Soviet soldiers and local Chinese militia groups. In a desperate effort to survive, many were forced to marry Chinese men, either out of necessity or in exchange for assistance in repatriating their remaining family members. Disturbingly, some victims were as young as thirteen. Some women were held in groups and subjected to repeated sexual violence over extended periods. In certain instances, to ensure the safety of the group, members of the Japanese community offered women to their perpetrators. There were also reports of women voluntarily submitting themselves to protect their families, younger peers, or others in their communities. After Japan's defeat in 1945, leaders of the Kurokawa Settler Group in Manchuria offered approximately 15 young women, aged 17 to 21, to Soviet soldiers in exchange for protection. This tragic practice continued from September to November 1945, with some of the women later being offered to Chinese soldiers as well. With no protection from Japanese soldiers, Japanese women often had to devise unique strategies to avoid rape. Memoirs from female repatriates detail various escape tactics. Some women hid in attics every night, narrowly avoiding capture or even gunfire. Others managed to trap intruders in rooms before fleeing or bribed Soviet soldiers with valuables, such as wristwatches, to secure their escape. Notably, some women, particularly former geisha and bar workers, voluntarily went with Soviet soldiers to protect others. These women were referred to as tokkōtai (kamikaze) for their self-sacrifice. Additionally, it wasn't just Japanese women who suffered; Korean and Chinese women were also victims of sexual violence at the hands of various perpetrators in Manchuria. British and American reports indicate that Soviet Red Army troops looted and terrorized the local population in Shenyang, a city in Manchuria. A foreign witness described how Soviet troops, formerly stationed in Berlin, were permitted by the Soviet military to enter Shenyang for "three days of rape and pillage." In Harbin, Soviet forces ignored protests from leaders of the Chinese Communist Party regarding the widespread mass rape and looting committed by their troops. In the immediate aftermath of the war in 1945, in areas of Manchuria occupied by the National Revolutionary Army, 176 Koreans were killed, 1,866 were injured, 3,468 were detained, and 320 were raped by armed Chinese mobs. The attacks against Korean residents in Manchuria were believed to stem from a perception of Korean collaboration with Japanese colonial rule. One of the most infamous instances was the Gegenmiao massacre. On August 10 and 11, Xing'an was bombed, nearly destroying its urban functions. It is estimated that 3,000 of the 4,000 civilians. Anticipating the Soviet invasion, Xing'an had prepared an evacuation plan divided into three groups based on residential area and workplace. The Kwantung Army, however, failed to inform the General Office officials about their retreat. As a result, residents in the eastern area, many of whom were self-employed or office workers, had difficulty obtaining information and securing transportation, while those in the western area had military personnel who were first to learn of the situation. Some of the civilians with a handful of armed men had proceeded on foot towards Gegenmiao Township, about 35 kilometers southeast of Xing'an Street, to wait for a train at Gegenmiao Station and then evacuate to Baichengzi. They aimed to receive protection from the Kwantung Army in Baichengzi. Around 11:40 AM on August 14 in the vicinity of Gegenmyo Hill, where a Lamaist temple was located, they encountered an infantry unit consisting of 14 Soviet medium tanks and 20 trucks. The column reportedly stretched for two kilometers, with about a hundred survivors among them. Soviet troops launched an attack from the hilltop, deploying tanks with machine-gun fire. The tanks attacked multiple times, and when they ceased, Soviet soldiers disembarked and ruthlessly shot and bayoneted survivors. Many who escaped death from gunfire were still severely injured or witnessed family members being killed. Some were left holding their loved ones or chose to commit suicide. It is estimated that only about a hundred survivors were later confirmed, including nearly 200 schoolchildren from the Xing'an Street Zaiman National School. Kwantung Army units, which were supposed to escort the civilians and counterattack, had already retreated southward. Even after the Soviet soldiers left, sporadic gunfire continued, presumably due to suicides. Local residents began to plunder the bodies, stripping them of clothes and valuables. Others drowned in the river while attempting to escape. Reports tell of one woman who had her child killed by Soviet soldiers, only to later face an attack from Chinese militia, who stripped her of her clothes and mutilated her. Surviving mothers and children were also attacked, and those separated were often taken by the Chinese. At the time, it was common for Japanese boys to be sold for 300 yen and girls for 500 yen. Some survivors gathered together and began committing mass suicide, killing those who wished to end their lives. Others expressed intentions to form a death squad with rifles for revenge but ultimately did not resist.   After the war ended on August 15, attacks on displaced persons continued. A 12-year-old girl who joined a group of about ten women after the incident reported that they were attacked and robbed, taking over a week to reach Zhenxi Station, 10 kilometers from Gegenmiao Station. The women sought shelter in an abandoned house near the station but were discovered by Soviet soldiers that night who assaulted them until midnight. Afterward, the soldiers piled dry grass into the house, setting it ablaze in an attempt to burn the women alive. The girl and her sister managed to escape through a window, but many others could not flee in time due to the fire's rapid spread. The girl was forced to live as a residual orphan afterward. Fortunately, some Chinese, Mongolians, and Koreans provided food for the survivors, with some Chinese showing kindness towards the children. Those orphaned children, whose parents had been killed, became known as residual orphans, with about 30 in this unfortunate situation. Many women were forced to become residual women as well. Tragically, around 200 students from a local school, including the headmaster and his wife, were killed during this chaos. Some historians believe the attack stemmed from Soviet soldiers mistaking the refugees for armed Japanese troops because men within the group were carrying firearms for protection. In general, displaced persons at this time often carried small weapons like rifles, and some groups were even armed with light machine guns. In the pioneer groups, women sometimes participated in fighting against bandits, and in the Sado pioneer group incident, children above the fifth grade were forced into combat, regardless of gender. There may also have been prior skirmishes with other Japanese civilian groups before the war's end, further complicating the situation as the Soviet Army, which included female soldiers, may have regarded these mixed civilian and armed groups as a threat. According to Soviet military combat records, on August 14, the Soviet 17th Guards Rifle Division, 19th Guards Rifle Division, 91st Guards Rifle Division, and 61st Tank Division were stationed northwest of Gezhne Temple, but there was no combat activity in the area. On August 15, this unit advanced toward Bai Chengzi and occupied Bai Chengzi Station, which was then taken over by tanks from the 61st Tank Division. Despite extensive documentation, nothing about this incident was revealed until 2014 during the process of perestroika. Reports from British and American sources indicate that the 700,000 Soviet troops occupying Manchuria also terrorized and looted the local population in Mukden. They were not deterred by Soviet authorities and engaged in what was described as "three days of rape and pillage," with similar atrocities occurring in Harbin and across the country. Amid the mass repatriation of Japanese civilians living in the region, Japanese women in Manchuria faced repeated sexual violence at the hands of Russian soldiers every day. In North Korea, it was similarly reported that Soviet soldiers raped both Japanese and Korean women. Additionally, Soviet soldiers looted the property of Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans residing in Manchuria and North Korea.

Amid chaotic surrenders, Emperor Hirohito accepted defeat, but Soviet advances continued relentlessly. As they pushed deeper, the Soviets captured key cities, including Harbin, while Japan's soldiers and civilians struggled for survival against the onslaught. War crimes committed by Soviet troops added to the tragedy, with rampant violence against Japanese civilians. Amidst political tensions, the Soviets secured territory, culminating in the surrender of remaining Japanese forces. The grim conclusion of this campaign marked a profound shift in the power dynamics of East Asia and paved the way for post-war ramifications.

Pääministeri vetosi poikkeuksellisesti sen puolesta, että työttömyysvakuutusmaksua ei nostettaisi paljoa. Korotus uhkaa syödä hallituksen veroalen. Mitä tilanteesta ajattelevat työmarkkinajärjestöjen johtajat, palkansaajien SAK:n puheenjohtaja Jarkko Eloranta ja työnantajien EK:n toimitusjohtaja Jyri Häkämies? Entä onko hallitus mennyt liian pitkälle, kun se on pannut työmarkkinoita uusiksi? Hallitus poisti työttömiltä 300 euron suojaosan, minkä vuoksi useampi päätyi tuoreen kyselyn perusteella kokonaan työttömäksi kuin kokoaikatyöhön. Leikkaukset työttömyysturvaan ja asumistukeen näyttävät myös aiheuttavan pienituloisuutta enemmän kuin aikaisemmin on arvioitu. Toimittajana on Antti Pilke. Suora lähetys.
