Evaldas could have stayed in his native Lithuania and earned much more from doing comedy. After all, he started performing at a critical time in Lithuania when anyone who decided to perform was almost automatically a professional comedian.Instead, the hopeless romantic fan of stand up comedy came to the UK and started again from bottom of the barrel - doing open mic gigs all over the place to work his way up. All these because he saw a visiting pro and concluded he had to leave to get good. Your host Kuan-wen reunited with his victor - they both participated in a new act competition in Manchester in 2019. Your host came second; this episode's guest was the rightful winner. Evaldas talks about how he worked on his English to soften the accent and how he gets annoyed when the audience make notes of his accent rather than focusing on his jokes. He talks about the "East European" label as seen by audience in the UK, as most Brits know very little about his home country. You will also hear Evaldas' nuanced view on comedy sketches on social media, including his own ones, and the use of social media for comedians in general. Apart from comedy, the discussion also includes his take on the legacy of Russian/Soviet occupation in Lithuania---------------------------------Follow Evaldas on Instagram and Youtube Evaldas also produced a very interesting documentary on his experience of participating in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as a new-ish comedian.

Evaldas Azbukauskas jau 10 metų kuria muziką besivadindamas slapyvardžiu „Girių dvasios“. Jo žanras –unikalus Lietuvos miškų ir laukų „techno“, „dub“. Evaldo trauka gamtai ir senosioms baltiškoms dvasinėms praktikoms virsta elektroninės muzikos ritmais, akordais, garsais, aidais. „Girių dvasios“ - ne vien muzika, gimstanti namuose prie kompiuterio. Evaldas dažnai koncertuoja, o koncertų metu randasi visiškai nauji kūriniai, elektroniniai ritualai. Kodėl Mažeikius Evaldas iškeitė į Vilnių ir kokia jo muzikinė virtuvė? Atsakymai – muzikinio vyksmo laidoje „Pakartot“Ved. Domantas Razauskas.

Tokiais žodžiais brolis Evaldas nustebino jaunuolį, kurio mama paprašė kunigo liepti sūnui eiti išpažinties. O apstulbusiai mamai pridūrė „kada jis pats nuspręs, tada ir ateis.“ Už savaitės jis atėjo pats.Vilniaus Šv. Pranciškaus Asyžiečio parapijos klebonas, brolis pranciškonas Evaldas Darulis sako, kad savo pašaukime jis siekia nemoralizuoti ir neaiškinti, ką žmogus turi daryti ir kaip gyventi. Brolis Evaldas tiki, kad horizontalus bendravimas kuria žymiai didesnę vertę, o brolių pranciškonų pašaukimas yra būti žmonių draugais, ne statyti save aukščiau jų.Su broliu Evaldu kalbamės apie neturėjimą nieko savo, pinigus, nuolankumo jėgą, didžiausias žmogaus baimes, LGBT+ bendruomenės susitikimus bažnyčioje ir kraujuojančiomis kojomis įveiktą 130 km bėgimą. Be to aptariam, ko šių dienų lyderiai galėtų išmokti iš Kristaus ir Šv.

Evaldas is a stand up comic from Lithuania who I met on the open mic circuit in Manchester England, we have shared the stage a few times and it has been awesome to see him develop his act. He recently won Beat the Frog at the Frog and Bucket comedy club with an awesome set. We met up and discussed the open mic scene, good sets and bad sets, and how we both approach comedy writing. We also talk about our favourite comedians and comedy styles, we weight in on the latest in the Louis CK drama, and discuss controversial material and how it can easily backfire. Evaldas started comedy in Lithuania, now he does it in England! Comedy in two languages, I can barely do it in one! Enjoy!

Algimantas Černiauskas ir jo scenos kolega Evaldas yra du vyrukai, kurių vardai nedaug kam yra žinomi, bet jų darbai tie, į kuriuos įsitraukia užsukę į jų pasirodymus. Garsai, kuriais dalinamasi, kartais gal ir primena muziką, bet iš esmės tai muzikiniai eksperimentai ir saviraiškos forma, virstanti į performansą, kurio neatsiejama dalimi tampa ir auditorija. Tarp apsipinančių menų galime pastebėti ne tik muziką, bet ir tapybą, tačiau akcentas šioje laidoje - muzika ir garsas. Būtent pastariesiams kurti pasitelkiami analoginiai sintezatoriai, diktofonai ir kita įranga, kuri pasitaiko po ranka. Mažieji vakarai, kitaip ir nepavadinsi to kas slepiasi po „play” mygtuku. Ved. Tomas Lukaševičius.

Evaldo Azbukausko muzikos projektui „Girių dvasios“ šiemet sueina 10 metų, ir šia proga Evaldas leidžia naują albumą bei rengia albumo pristatymą. Pasikalbėjom ne tik apie muziką, bet ir apie Evaldo fotografiją, tinklalaides, muzikos finansavimo strategijas, socialinius tinklus. Vedėja: Inga Ramoškaitė.

Keliautojas mėgėjas – taip save vadina Evaldas Banevičius, tačiau kai sužinai, kad tas mėgėjas apsilankė Šiaurės Korėjoje, suklūsti ir smalsiai imi klausinėti, kokia gi ta stereotipais apipinta ir ne visiems pasiekiama šalis. Šnekėjomės apie pačius pirmuosius įspūdžius, turistams kuriamą gražų vietinių gyvenimą, laiką be interneto ir ką apie save Evaldas suprato kelionei pasibaigus. Vedėja: Inga Ramoškaitė.

Ūkio naujienos. Kauno rajono ūkininkas Saulius Žiūras, didelio augalininkystės ūkio šeimininkas, jau keletą metų augina ir 26 ha pluošinių kanapių. Vyresnio amžiaus žmonės dažniausia pesimistiškai žiūri į tuštėjančias sodybas, emigraciją, o kaime likęs jaunimas lanksčiai vertina išvažiavimo galimybę ir dažnai randa priežasčių pasilikti gimtinėje. Tai patvirtina garbaus amžiaus ūkininkas iš Varėnos rajono Kaniavėlės kaimo Adomas Kaziukonis, dar turintis sveikatos dirbti 20 ha ūkyje ir du jauni vaikinai iš Molėtų rajono Alantos. Evaldas ir Laurynas turi darbus gimtinėje ir nesiruošia niekur važiuoti. Ved. Arvydas Urba.

We all know SEO is important, but what is a CTO's role? And what is still relevant in today's SEO and what is no longer good practice? Here to answer those questions is Evaldas Alexander. Evaldas is a CTO managing remote teams, including RankPay the first performance-based search engine service.   On this episode, Evaldas and I talk about how he made the leap from developer to CTO and whether trust comes first or ownership, plus his insights on SEO today and his suggestions for your best scraping options.   In this episode you'll hear: What is SEO today according to Evaldas? Does Google care about your Java and CSS files? Why RankPay uses the "pay when you see results" system. Is Google still the number one search engine out there? Do you have to pay for traffic, or should you focus on SEO? And so much more!   In high school Evaldas was considering working in computer science or being a lawyer. At the time, law was more appealing because his native country of Lithuania was so new and there were lots of opportunities to have an immediate impact. So he enrolled in law school, and started working in youth politics. About a year and a half in he realized it wasn't really his passion so he left and enrolled in management information systems studies, and also started selling web sites. Initially Evaldas hired a computer science student to build their first web sites, and Evaldas got more and more involved over time. He liked it so much he started working as a developer when he moved to the US, where he would eventually leap into the role of CTO. With his firsthand knowledge from RankPay, I asked Evaldas to give us the details on what works best today in SEO. He explains there's no magic bullet for every company but in general on-page SEO still matters, and that content relevant to your audience is also critical.   I also asked him to give the initial steps for working with RankPay. The first step is enter your domain, then enter your keywords. At this point RankPay will give you suggestions of other keywords that may be relevant and of interest to you. Next you'll create an account with your credit card. However, you will not be billed until your account manager approves your keywords and RankPay starts to improve your rankings.   Also on this episode of The CTO Studio, I asked Evaldas to share what his biggest challenges have been in his CTO role, and what tips he has for others. One of Evaldas' biggest challenge was how to lead people into taking ownership. It was a challenge that stemmed from his natural inclination to own tasks and projects, but he has since realized not everyone operates that way. However they can be lead to do so. For a long time he would interview and hire a great developer, and then give that person a task. Evaldas would watch the newly-hired developer do the task but not go beyond to care about the bigger picture.   Now Evaldas understands it is all about communication. He lets his developers know they are the owners of their projects, it is up to them to think about and to tell him if they think something should be done differently. He even tells them they don't need to ask his permission to do something. They can create tasks, then prioritize them as they see fit. He explains it's important to give clear boundaries, while still allowing people to take ownership.   We wrap up this episode by also talking about why real-time search results is so important, and his advice for fellow CTOs and for lead engineers. Join us for those illuminating topics and much more on this latest edition of The CTO Studio!

LL0271 – Mes Su Narimantu Narimantas And I Hi there, I’m Jack and I’m Gintarė and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. According to the Wikipedia page, Užgavėnės, this is a traditional Lithuanian celebration that's held at the same time as Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Brazil's Carnival.  The celebration starts with the burning of Morė, an effigy of winter.  Participants wear costumes, folklore groups perform traditional plays, people dance and eat traditional foods.  Many of the costumes worn during the festival represent devils, witches, farm animals, the grim reaper, etcetera. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uzgavenes photo: Užgavėnės 14 February 2010 photographer: Andrius Petrucenia (Wikipedia) Today we’ll go over how to say things like Raminta and I, Narimantas and I, or the dog and I. The way you can express this idea in Lithuanian is different from the way English speakers do it.  Lithuanians can say roughly, “we with Daiva” to express, “Daiva and I” or “we with Romas” to express, “Romas and I.” prašom pakartoti, please repeat… we mes with su Evaldas is eating a pizza Evaldas valgo picą Evaldas and I are eating a pizza Mes su Evaldu valgome picą Raminta is sleeping in the bed Raminta miega lovoje Raminta and I are sleeping in the bed mes su Raminta miegame lovoje when you see the word “su” you know it’s time to use the instrumental.  What we’ll do here is say something in English using vardininkas, then we’ll change the sentence using įnagininkas.

Inagininkas  Instrumental Case Hi there, I’m Raminta and I’m Jack and welcome back to Lithuanian Out Loud where we offer the world the Lithuanian language. Photograph:  The monument to the restoration of Lithuania's independence, "Lituania Restituta" first built in 1930, destroyed by Soviets, rebuilt in 1990. Ukmergė, Lithuania. Photographer:  Juraune, June 3, 2006 (Wikipedia) According to the article, “June 14, 1940. Why the Russians should apologize.” On the 14th of June 1940, massive deportations of Lithuanians were started by the Soviet Union.  In one week 17,730 people were deported from Lithuania to Russian gulags. The unfortunate Lithuanians selected for transport were intellectuals and academics, political activists, businessmen and successful farmers, medics, lawyers, military leaders, teachers, and religious leaders. Families had one hour to collect 100 kilograms of belongings and were transported to any one of 57 train stations.  Common cattle cars awaited them for the long trip to Siberia. The Soviets had planned to deport as much as 50% of the Lithuanian population but the Nazi invasion stopped their plans.  Many Lithuanians viewed the Germans as saviors because the German invasion stopped the Russians. When the Soviets forced the Germans out of Lithuania the deportations resumed.  In 1948 alone more than 40,000 Lithuanians were shipped east in cattle cars; 11,066 were children. Between 1940 and 1953 Lithuania lost one third of its population and the only thing that stopped the mass deportations was the death of Stalin in 1953. Today, Russia refuses to discuss the matter and ignores Lithuania’s requests for apologies and reparations.  Lithuania is requesting, at a minimum, moral recognition of the issue. We’ve already gone over these declensions: the nominative       vardininkas the genitive            kilmininkas the accusative        galininkas the locative            vietininkas the vocative           šauksmininkas We’ve only got two more declensions remaining and we’ll do one of those today;  įnagininkas – the instrumental case. In this episode we’ll be throwing a lot of new stuff at you but don’t worry, we’ll give you plenty of examples so you can understand what’s being presented.  First off, we’ll go over some concepts.  Today’s program is only the first in a series covering the instrumental case. We use the instrumental case in many different ways.  One way is to describe how one is transported, for example; to the restaurant we go by car or Rimantas goes to work by motorcycle.  The car is the instrument by which we go to the restaurant and the motorcycle is the instrument by which Rimantas goes to work. When a noun is declined with įnagininkas or the instrumental case, the noun is the instrument of the sentence.  The instrumental case can be viewed as describing “by means of,” “by way of” or “using.” Let’s go over the different instrumental endings or suffixes using singular nouns.  We’ll go over plural nouns in another episode. First, here are the singular masculine noun endings or suffixes… singular nouns that end in –as change to –u singular nouns that end in –is change to –iu singular nouns that end in –ys change to –iu singular nouns that end in –us change to –umi singular nouns that end in –uo can change to – eniu or –enimi Now the feminine singular noun endings or suffixes… singular nouns that end in –a change to –a singular nouns that end in –ė change to –e singular nouns that end in –is change to –imi singular nouns that end in –uo, and there’s only one – sesuo, change to –eria singular nouns that end in –ė, as in duktė, change to –eria or –erimi before each group of examples we’ll go over some vocabulary vocabulary žodynas to travel                                                        keliauti to go or ride by means of transportation          važiuoti an automobile                                               automobilis a bus                                                           autobusas Valdemaras travels “by means of” a car  Valdemaras keliauja automobiliu Simonas travels “by way of” a car Simonas keliauja automobiliu Diana travels “using” a car Diana keliauja automobiliu Violeta goes “by means of” a bus Violeta važiuoja autobusu Valentina goes “by way of” a bus Valentina važiuoja autobusu Veronika goes “using” a bus Veronika važiuoja autobusu  The instrumental can also be used to describe movement “by way of,” “by means of,” or “using” a street, a path, a sidewalk, etcetera, or going through a park, a field, a valley, a tunnel, an alley, a river, a sea, a mountain pass, etcetera.  vocabulary žodynas to go for a walk                                       pasivaikščioti to go (on foot)                                         eiti a path

plaukia upe a ship sails using the river                         laivas plaukia upe a barge sails by means of the river             barža plaukia upe Now let’s talk about professions.  You can say, I am a doctor, or, aš esu gydytojas.  I’m a policeman, aš esu policininkas.  In these examples we are not using the instrumental case.  Using the instrumental case we would say, I work as a doctor – aš dirbu gydytoju.  I work as a policeman – aš dirbu policininku.  A profession is the instrument “by way of” or “by means of” a person makes a living.  The key word in English here is the word, “as.”  I work as a pilot.  I work as a teacher. vocabulary žodynas a policeman, policewoman                                        policininkas, policininkė a

we’ll continue part II of exploring the instrumental case.  We’ll see you in 2010.  Happy New Year! June 14, 1940. Why the Russians should apologize http://irzikevicius.wordpress.com/2008/06/15/june-14-1940-why-the-russians-should-apologies/

Who are the Samogitians?  According to the Wikipedia page entitled, Samogitia, Samogitia or Žemaitija in Lithuanian, is one of five ethnographic regions in Lithuania.  It’s primarily the western third of Lithuania.  The Samogitians were a key factor during the Battle of the Sun.In 1236, the invading Livonian Brothers of the Sword, whose base of operations was Riga, in present day Latvia, rode south into present day Lithuania.  The Livonian Brothers were Christian Crusaders from Holstein in present day Germany.  Lithuania hadn’t been conquered by the Christian armies and they were willing to fight to keep the Christians out.  The Livonian knights left Riga, headed south, crossed into Lithuanian land and raided some Samogitian settlements.  After the Germans had their fill of raiding villages, they headed north towards home.  They came to a river crossing and a unit of Samogitian Lithuanians were blocking their path.  The Crusaders chose not to fight but to camp for the night.  Oops, that was a mistake. Early the next morning the Samogitian Lithuanians, who were probably led by Duke Vykintas, attacked the German camp.  The lightly armored Germans in the camp bravely ran away but the heavily armored crusader knights stayed and fought.  The knights were completely wiped out, including the leader of the Livonian Brothers, Master Volquin.The German survivors of the battle who tried to continue north towards Riga were discovered by the Semigallions and slaughtered.  The Semigallions were a tribe of Latvians who were noted for their long resistance against the German crusaders.All in all, during the Battle of the Sun, some 50 or 60 crusader knights were killed, including the Livonian Master, it was the first large scale defeat for the crusaders in Baltic lands.  The Livonian Order was so soundly defeated that the next year they had to be incorporated into the Tuetonic Order.  The battle inspired the Curonians, the Semigallians, and the Selonians, tribes which had already been defeated by the crusaders, to rebel.  The results of some thirty years of conquest were lost.The exact location of the Battle of the Sun isn’t known but it’s likely near the present-day city of Šiauliai. And now, just a quick note before we move on to today's lesson.  We have a new email address, it's lithuanianoutloud@earthlink.net you can find it on the blogpage.  And now, here's a plug from one of our listeners in Lithuania... Hello everybody!  This is Evaldas from Klaipėda, Lithuania, and you are listening to Lithuanian Out Loud with Raminta and Jack, enjoy! Thanks a lot for doing that for us, Evaldas, we really appreciate it.  Thanks a bunch! Today we’re going out for some drinks with our buddies and we just might speak some Lithuanian – Out Loud!Just before we actually take our first sip of an alcoholic beverage we have a few choices on how to say, “cheers!" or “to your health!" or “here’s mud in your eye!" as you tap your glasses together.The most common one I’ve heard is Į sveikatą!Please repeat out loud… Prašom pakartoti… Į sveikatą!             To health!Į sveikatą!             Health!Į sveikatą!             Cheers!Į sveikatą!             Salud! You can say this one to a male, a female or to a group of people, it doesn’t matter.  In Lithuanian culture it’s important that as you tap your glasses and say, Į sveikatą! that you look the other person straight in the eye.  If you don’t, I don’t know, it’s bad luck or something…If you want, you can be more specific with this.  Instead of just saying, Į sveikatą, or “to health," you can say, “to your health." Į jūsų sveikatą!       To your health! (you formal or you-all)Į tavo sveikatą!       To your health! (familiar)Į jūsų sveikatą!       To your health! (you formal or you-all)Į tavo sveikatą!       To your health! (familiar) Another great phrase to use is būk sveikas! or būk sveika!  This literally means “be healthy!"  Of course as you might have guessed būk sveikas! is said to a man and būk sveika! is said to a woman.Please repeat, prašom pakartoti… būk sveikas!       Be healthy! (to a male)būk sveikas!       Be healthy! (to a male)būk sveika!        Be healthy! (to a female)būk sveika!        Be healthy! (to a female) Here’s another one for you.  Iki dugno!When you’re having any kind of alcoholic beverage, feel free to use į sveikatą, būk sveika, or būk sveikas.However, the only time we use iki dugno is with shots.  Shots are as popular in Lithuania as they are in North America – that is to say, they’re common.  Dugno comes from the word dugnas, meaning bottom.  So, we’re saying “until the bottom of the glass!" or “drink it down to the dregs!"In other words, you don’t drink just half a shot.  When you say iki dugno, you’re expected to finish off the glass in one go at it.Please repeat, prašom pakartoti… Iki dugno!        Bottoms up!Iki dugno!        Bottoms up!Iki dugno!        Bottoms up! And that’s it for our introduction to drinking with Lithuanians.  You can expect more lessons on this subject.  Maybe a lot more.  :)
