Stāsta Latvijas Universitātes bibliotēkas darbiniece, filoloģijas doktore Aija Taimiņa. Kāpēc viduslaiku bibliotēkās grāmatām bija stipras dzelzs ķēdes? Kāpēc tika veidotas katenātu (libri catenati, latīņu) jeb ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēkas? Pirmā atbilde vienmēr bijusi – lai nodrošinātos pret zagšanu. Bet varbūt grāmata (proti, tās saturs) ir bīstama, agresīva, tā būtu jāieslēdz, jāpieķēdē, lai nenonāktu nepiederošas personas rokās? (Lai atceramies stāstu par Hariju Poteru un epizodi Cūkkārpas bibliotēkas Slēgtajā nodaļā (Restricted section, angļu). Bet vai patiesi? Vai tam nav cita, racionāla skaidrojuma? Ķēde, kas fiksē grāmatu pie plaukta vai lasāmpults paredzēta drīzāk tam, lai saglabātu kārtību grāmatu skapjos un daudzu lasītāju  apmeklētās lasāmzālēs. Un vēl – grāmatas pieķēdēšana nevis ierobežo lasīt- un studētkāri, bet nodrošina to, lai svarīga grāmata ir visiem (kādam noteiktam lasītāju lokam) un vienmēr pieejama. To norāda pirmās, senākās ziņas par pieķēdētajām grāmatām. Proti, 11. gadsimtā Elzasā, Veisenburgas benediktīniešu klostera baznīcā bijušas četras pieķēdētas psalmu grāmatas; psaltērijs (Psalterium) ir svarīga viduslaiku liturģiskā grāmata, kas garīdzniekiem kalpoja ikdienas aizlūgumiem, tās saturā baznīcas gada ritējumam paredzētie psalmi, litānijas svētajiem. “Klosteris bez grāmatu skapjiem ir kā pilsēta bez ieroču arsenāla” (Claustrum sine armario, quasi castrum sine armamentario, latīņu), teica 12. gs. augustīnietis Žofruā de Breteijs (Geoffroy de  Breteuil, +1149). Viduslaiku bibliotēku daudzus gadu simtus  veidoja lielāki vai mazāki rokrakstu sējumi – pergamenta vai papīra kodeksi ar ādu pārvilktos koka vākos. Klosteriem bija savas bibliotēkas, dažiem izcilas, lielas un bagātas, citiem – pieticīgākas. Lasīšana (lectio monastica, latīņu) bija klauzūrai pakļauto klostera iemītnieku ikdienas dzīves norise. Slēgtajā klostera kopienas dzīvē bija paredzēti gan skaļi liturģiski lasījumi dievkalpojumos, bet visbiežāk brāļi vai māsas kopīgu pusdienu laikā refektorijā (remterī) noklausījās skaļu priekšā lasījumu (collatio ad mensam, latīņu): kādu atbilstošu teoloģisku tekstu, Bībeles vietu, citkārt stāstu par konventa vai ordeņa vēsturi. Monastiskā dzīvesveida sastāvdaļa bija individuāla jeb kontemplatīva lasīšana, lai lasot iedvesmotos lūgšanām un pārdomām. Tad grāmatu klosterbrālis (klostermāsa) lasīja pats vai nu savā guļamtelpā (dormitorijā) vai citā tam paredzētajā vietā. Viduslaiku intelektuālo eliti veidoja dominikāņu un franciskāņu ordeņi, kuru radītajās un uzturētajās mācību iestādēs vismaz kopš 13.gs. nodevās vairākus gadu ilgstošām teoloģijas, filosofijas, dabaszinātņu un mākslu studijām. Sprediķotāju (dominikāņu) un ubagotājmūku (minorītu) ordeņi veidoja vairāku līmeņu skolu tīklojumu, darbojās universitātēs. Visnopietnāko darbu ar grāmatām prasīja studijas, kas prasīja dziļi nodoties sholastiskajai lasīšanai. Ja klosterim bija sava mācību iestāde, tad lasīšana bija neatņemama mācību daļa, grāmatas bija nepieciešamas teoloģijas, tiesību, hagioloģijas, homilētikas studijām. Sholastiskā lasīšana prasīja rūpīgi studēt dažāda satura tekstus, meklēt citātus, salīdzinātu un pārbaudīt formulējumus. Turklāt ordenis gādāja tā deleģētajam augstskolas studentam vajadzīgās grāmatas. Garīgie ordeņi uzturēja plašas klosteru bibliotēkas, tomēr grāmatu krājums bija klostera vai ordeņa īpašums, nevis studenta vai ordeņa garīdznieka personīgā manta. Arī viduslaiku laicīgo universitāšu vidē sholastiskā lasīšana bija obligāta. Tātad grāmatas bija ļoti pieprasītas, nepieciešamas visai plašam lasītāju lokam, kā klosteros, tā augstskolās. Pirmajās jaundibināto universitāšu bibliotēkās noteikti bijuši visai ievērojami ķēžu grāmatu krājumi. Lielākajā vēlo viduslaiku universitātē, Parīzes Sorbonnā (izveidota 1150), 14. gs. vidū bija 1722 rokrakstu kodeksi; Heidelbergas universitātei 15.gs. vidū piederēja 800 manuskripti. Sena gravīra rāda Leidenes universitātes  profesoriem un studentiem pieejamo bibliotēku ar pultīm un pieķēdētām grāmatam, kas ierīkota 1610. gadā un veidota pēc Sorbonnas parauga. Piekļuvi universitāšu bibliotēku krājumiem visai stingri regulēja noteikumi, katrā augstskolā atšķirīgi. Daudzu Vācijas universitāšu bibliotēkās varēja strādāt tikai profesori, kam tika izsniegta bibliotēkas atslēgas. Oksfordas universitātes bibliotēkā 1412. gada drīkstēja lasīt tikai tie absolventi, kas jau 8 gadus bija studējuši filosofiju. Turklāt Sorbonnas un Oksfordas universitāšu bibliotēkas jau 13. gs. bija sadalītas divās daļās: “lielo bibliotēku” (magna libraria, latīņu) jeb  publikas (kopīgo) bibliotēku (bibliotheca publica, latīņu) veidoja uz vietas lasāmie pieķēdētie sējumi, bet grāmatas no plauktos un lādēs glabātās “mazās bibliotēkas”(parva libraria, latīņu) varēja arī aizlienēt un ņemt uz māju. “Mazo bibliotēku” dažviet sauca arī par slēgto (savrupo)  bibliotēku (bibliotheca secreta), to veidoja lielākoties tekstu dublikāti. Gluži tāpat arī klosteru bibliotēkās – viena daļa izcilāko grāmatu glabājās atsevišķi un bija domātas noslēgtam lokam, bet otra daļa bija izkārtota  visiem – garīdzniekiem, klosterbrāļiem un audzēkņiem pieejamos plauktos. Klostera grāmatu krājumam bieži ierādīja kādu atsevišķu telpu, grāmatas tika glabātas lādēs vai skapjos, un lielākoties guļus, kārtotas tematiskās grupās. Tikai vēlajos viduslaikos grāmatas sāka likt plauktos. Smagās un lielās grāmatas visbiežāk turēja uz slīpām pultīm  vai lasāmsoliem, lai lielos un smagos sējumus varētu lasīt stāvus – tā vieglāk strādāt, ērtāk lasīt sīkiem burtiem blīvi rakstīto tekstu, tā tiek optimāli izmantots pieticīgais lasītavas apgaismojums. Tikai lēnam izveidojās ieraša lasīt sēdus.  Smago sējumu pie slīpās pults fiksēja kalta dzelzs ķēde, kuras gredzens tika uzvērts uz metāla stieņa pults augšpusē, bet otrs gals piestiprināts grāmatas vākam. Jāzina, ka viduslaiku kodekss ārēji ir visai ‘mazrunīgs': sējumam ādas vākos nav nav ātri  atpazīstamu  ārējo pazīšanas zīmju (titula uzlīmju, etiķešu, uzrakstu uz muguriņām, šifru, inventāra Nr.). Grāmatai nav izteiksmīga vāka, titullapas, apdrukātas muguriņas. Tikai kāda neliela pergamenta uzlīme ar pāris vārdiem vai numuru uz vāka... vai ar melnu tinti lieliem trekniem burtiem uzrakstīts zīmīgs vārds uz grāmatas griezuma; jo grāmatas plauktos bieži novietoja ar ādas muguriņu uz iekšu... Tāpēc kārtības uzturēšana senā klostera vai universitātes bibliotēkā ar daudziem gandrīz vienādiem brūnas ādas sējumiem ir būtiski svarīga; grāmatai ir tik viegli nomaldīties un pazaudēties starp līdzīgajām. Grāmatniecības vēsturnieks Henrijs Petroski asprātīgi teicis: “Mēs parasti domājam par grāmatām, nevis par to plauktiem. Ielikt grāmatu atpakaļ plauktā ir apmēram tas pats, kas ielikt atpakaļ sardīni konservu kārbā” (Henry Petroski, 1999). Ne velti latīņu valodā viduslaiku  bibliotēkas glabātāja – ‘armarius' apzīmējums atvasināts no vārda ‘armarium' – skapis. Labs bibliotēkas pārzinis jeb ‘skapinieks' darīs visu, lai grāmatas zinātu savu vietu arī tad, ja bibliotēku vēlas lietot daudzi apmeklētāji. Efektīvs viduslaiku risinājums bija ķēde, kas piesaista grāmatu vietai: lasāmpultij vai plauktam. Ķēde var nosargāt bibliotēkas krājumus; tā līdz pret zagšanu – grāmatu nav daudz, un tās ir ievērojama vērtība; pret sajukumu krājumā un pavaļīgi izņemšanu un atvietošanu. Turklāt ķēde pasargā masīvo un vērtīgo kodeksu no kritiena. Grāmatu pieķēdēšanas prakse apsīka līdz ar grāmatiespiešanas straujo progresu: grāmatu skaits strauji pieauga, arī sējumi vairs nebija tik masīvi un smagi. Grāmatu pieķēdēšanas vēsturē slēpjas arī kādi paradoksi. Proti, dažkārt grāmatu pieķēdēja, lai to publiskajā telpā varētu brīvi lasīt visi. Anglijas karlis Henrijs VIII 1537. gadā pavēlējis pieķēdēt Bībeli katrā draudzes baznīcā, lai draudzes locekļi var tai paši piekļūt un lasīt. Citviet līdzīgu iemeslu dēļ ticis pieķēdēts katķisms. Tāpat arī Anglijas karalis Eduards VI 1547. gadā lika turēt baznīcā pieejamā vietā Bībeli angliski un Roterdamas Erasma  Evaņģēliju pārstāstus latīniski (Paraprhrases, 1517). Tā garīdzniekiem un  draudzei ik brīdi bija pieejama stacionāri vienā vietā fiksēta grāmata.  Reformācijas laika prakse bija balstīta protestantisma pamatprincipā sola scriptura (tikai raksti), kas jau agrāk bija tikusi aprobēts viduslaiku klostera baznīcā Veisenburgā. Viduslaiku  atmiņas (memoria) un piemiņas kultūrā iekļaujas senajos testamentos un dāvinājumu dokumentos  izteiktā griba dāvināt kādam klosterim (baznīcai, bibliotēkai) ķēžu grāmatas. Tā līdz ar pieķēdētajām grāmatām ilgstošā piemiņā  tiktu saglabāts arī dāvinātāja vārds. Ir iespējams joprojām apmeklēt vairākas senas bibliotēkas, kas saglabājušas sākotnēji izveidotās ķēžu grāmatu lasītavas: vecākā ir Itālijā, Čezēnas (Cesena) pilsētā netālu no Boloņas. Tur joprojām aplūkojama 15. gs. vidū (1447–1452) izveidotā Malatestu ģimenes  bibliotēka Libraria Malatestiana, kuras sākotne ir  vietējā franciskāņu klostera grāmatu krātuve. Malatestu bibliotēkas lasītavā pie pultīm pieslēgti 343 viduslaiku manuskripti. Anglijā, Oksfordas universitātes Bodleana bibliotēkas ievērojamākā un senākā daļa ir Hamfrija Lankastera, Glosteras hercoga (Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, 1390–1447) ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēka (281 sējums), ko hercogs bija novēlējis universitātei. Herfordas katedrāles (Hereford Cathedral) ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēka ierīkota 17.gs. vidū un tajā atrodas 229 viduslaiku manuskripti. Holandē,  Zitfenā (Zutphen), Sv. Valbergas baznīcas bibliotēka tikusi pieķēdēta tikai 1546.gadā, jo tad sākuši zust sējumi, un tika pieņemts, ka Sātans zog vērtīgākās grāmatas. Pēc apspriešanās tika pieķēdētas 286 grāmatas. Katra ķēde tika apslacīta ar svētītu ūdeni. Iesējumam piestiprinātā ķēde visdrošāk liecina par grāmatas piederību kāda klostera bibliotēkai. Ķēžu grāmatu bibliotēkas noteikti bija arī Livonijā, Rīgā. Daudzas grāmatas ar 15. gs. pēdējā trešdaļā / 16. gs. sākumā kaltām dzelzs ķēdēm (un ķēžu stiprinājumu paliekām) lielākoties nākušas no diviem nozīmīgākajiem Rīgas klosteriem – no Rīgas Sv. Jāņa Kristītāja dominikāņu klostera un Rīgas Sv. Katrīnas franciskāņu observantu klostera. Tomēr nav zināms, kur Rīgas franciskāņu un dominikāņu klosteros bija ierādīta vieta viņu grāmatu plauktiem un lasāmpultīm. Tāpat nevar ar pārliecību apgalvot, ka klosteru grāmatas iesietas un ķēdes piestiprinātas tieši Rīgā. Pēc reformācijas laika nemieriem daudzas abu klosteru grāmatas nonāca Rīgas pilsētas pārziņā un nogulās Rīgas pilsētas bibliotēkā. Tagad Latvijas Universitātes bibliotēkas krājumā ir visai ievērojams, unikāls  katenātu krājums: 76 kodeksiem ķēde ir saglabājusies (tie ir 15.gs. 70.–90. gadu iespieddarbi, un pāris 16. gs. sākuma (1505–1519) izdevumi); vēl 40 grāmatas savu ķēdi laika gaitā ir zaudējušas, kaut ķēdes stiprinājuma paliekas tās esamību pārliecinoši  apstiprina. Te jāpiebilst, ka racionālisma laikmets pret ķēžu grāmatām bija visai nežēlīgs, daudzas lielās, modernās bibliotēkas lika smagās un neveiklās ķēdes noņemt, lai tās netraucētu. Rīgas katenāti ir lieliska, patiesi autentiska viduslaiku materiālās kultūras liecība, kas stāsta par ļoti senu grāmatniecības tradīciju.

Ne katru gadu un noteikti ne šogad, bet vasarās saskaramies arī ar sausuma periodiem. Šogad maija un jūnija lietavas mazliet arī ieceri runāt par šo tematu raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā. Par mazūdens periodu Latvijas upēs šovasar vēl runāt nevar, lai gan citus gadus tas mēdz sākties pat maijā. Taču pēdējos gados, kad sausuma periodi bijuši, cilvēki sūdzas par ūdens trūkumu akās. Cik ātri pēc lietavām tas spēj atjaunoties un vai vienmēr palīdzēs, ja aku raks dziļāku? Savukārt Latvijas Vides, ģeoloģijas un meteoroloģijas centra speciālisti analizējuši tendences Latvijas upēs vasarās.  Šogad sausums nerada problēmas. Gluži pretēji – daudzviet, īpaši Latvijas austrumos, mitruma bijis par daudz. Vai klimata pārmaiņas manāmas arī šajā aspektā. Zināms, ka ziemās upes aizsalst retāk, lieli pavasara pali arī ir retāk, jo nav ne sniega, ne ledus, kam kust, vienlaikus ziemās pali kļuvuši biežāki. Runājot par mazūdens periodiem, pagaidām datos izteiktu tendenču nav, tomēr hidrologi nākotnē saskata riskus. Latvijas Vides, ģeoloģijas un meteoroloģijas centra hidroloģe Līga Klinta min, ka vasaras mazūdens periodus nevar nošķirt no ziemas mazūdens periodiem vai pavasara paliem. Tas viss ir saistīts process.

Lielākajai daļai Latvijas sabiedrības daba ir vērtība, iedzīvotājiem šķiet svarīgi saudzēt dabu un rūpēties par to, taču cilvēki aktīvi neiesaistās dabas aizsardzībā. Un arī zināšanas par dabu sabiedrībā gadu gaitā samazinājušās. Tā secināts jaunā pētījumā, ko Dabas aizsardzības pārvaldes projekta "LatViaNature" ietvaros veikusi Vidzemes augstskola. Ko iedzīvotāji zina par dabu un saprot par tās aizsardzības praktiskiem pasākumiem? Un kā izpratni par bioloģisko daudzveidību un dabas aizsardzību veicinājusi Latvijas Nacionālā Dabas muzeja izstāde "Kā būtu, ja nebūtu?", kas nesen noslēgusies? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā diskutē Vidzemes augstskolas profesore, vadošā pētniece Agita Līviņa, Dabas aizsardzības pārvaldes biotopu eksperte Maija Medne un Latvijas Nacionālā Dabas muzeja Komunikācijas nodaļas vadītāja, zooloģe Inta Lange.   Zinātnes ziņas Pētījums liecina, ka Āfriku pamazām sadala karstu iežu mantijas strūkla no Zemes dzīlēm. Pētnieki ir atraduši jaunus pierādījumus tam, ka gigantiskas karsto iežu veidotas mantijas strūklas zem Āfrikas kontinenta izraisa vulkānisko aktivitāti un acīmredzot sadala kontinentu divās daļās. Vai un kā zivis guļ? “Nacionālās ģeogrāfijas” vietne aicina iepazīties ar to, kas ekspertiem ir zināms par zivju miegu. Jaunas kontaktlēcas ļauj cilvēkam redzēt infrasarkano gaismu. Gluži kā no zinātniskās fantastikas, bet cilvēkiem ir radīts jauns veids, kā redzēt infrasarkano gaismu, neizmantojot neērtas nakts redzamības brilles. Pētnieki ir izgatavojuši pirmās kontaktlēcas, kas nodrošina infrasarkano redzi, un šīs ierīces darbojas pat tad, kad cilvēkiem ir aizvērtas acis. Latvijas vides organizācijas: atbalstām vēja enerģiju, taču ne uz dabas rēķina Vēja enerģijas infrastruktūras attīstībai ir jābūt atbildīgai un tā nedrīkst notikt uz dabas vērtību rēķina, uzsver Latvijas vides organizāciju iniciatīva “Zaļais barometrs”. Organizāciju kopējā pozīcija par vēja enerģijas ieguvi Latvijā aicina politikas veidotājus, uzņēmējus un sabiedrību atbalstīt atbildīgu vēja enerģijas attīstību, kas respektē dabas vērtības un ietekmi uz sabiedrību. Pozīcijas autori: Latvijas Dabas fonds, Pasaules dabas fonds, “Zaļā brīvība”, Latvijas Bioloģiskās lauksaimniecības asociācija un Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrība.

Tikko 78. Kannu kinofestivālā pasaules pirmizrādi piedzīvojusi islandieša Hlīnura Palmasona šķiršanās pasaka “Mīlestība, kas paliek”. Lai gan tā tiek salīdzināta ar 21. gadsimta “Laulības dzīves ainām”, Latvijas skatītājiem zināmā režisora jaunākais darbs ir temperatūrā siltāks un dabai pietuvinātāks par Bergmana veikumu. Skatītājiem būs iespēja redzēt kinodarbu uz ekrāniem rudenī, bet līdz tam – Dārtas Ceriņas intervija ar islandiešu režisoru un vizuālo mākslinieku Hlīnuru Palmasonu (Hlynur Palmason). Vietējiem skatītājiem zināmā islandiešu režisora un vizuālā mākslinieka Hlīnura Palmasona filmas, visticamāk, iespiedušās atmiņās kā dabas gleznojumi. Kā “Balta, balta diena” (White, White Day, 2019), kuru autors piesaucis kā “detektīvstāstu par sērošanu”, tā arī monumentālajā "Dievzemē" / Godland (2022), kas Rīgas Starptautiskajā kinofestivālā ieguva labākās pilnmetrāžas godalgu, satiekas cilvēks un daba. Filmās satiekas arī Palmasona domubiedri – ciešā filmēšanas komanda, aktieri, kuri klejo no vienas filmas uz nākamo, un arī pēdējos divos kinodarbus uz ekrāna redzamas viņa atvases. Viņš tiešā nozīmē veido ģimenes kino – to apliecina viņa jaunākais kinodarbs “Mīlestība, kas paliek” (The Love That Remains, 2025). Filma tikko kā piedzīvojusi pasaules pirmizrādi 78. Kannu kinofestivālā. Ar to Palmasona paletē ienācis negaidīts, glāsmaina humora vējelis – tas padarīja filmas seansu par vienu no Kannu emocionāli spēcīgākajiem notikumiem. Festivālu un skatītāju lokos pazīstamā režisora darbs “Mīlestība, kas paliek” ir gadalaiku griežos iesēdināts stāsts par četrdesmitgadniekiem Annu (Sāga Gardarsdottira) un Magnusu (Sverrirs Gudnasons), kuri šķiras ar mīlestību. Vismaz cenšas to nosargāt, tāpat kā savus trīs bērnus – lomās paša Palmasona bērni Ida, Porgils un Grimurs – un arī sunīte Panda, kura nesen kā saņēmusi  "Palmas suņa" balvu. Lauleņiem uzsākot šķirtu dzīvi, abus šķir ūdens – Anna paliek uz sauszemes, atgriežoties pie vizuālās mākslas un turpinot rūpēs par trim bērniem, bet Magnuss pavada laiku zvejas izbraucienos uz kuģa un mēģinot saprast, kas viņu starpā ir noticis. Abi pievelkas, atgrūžas, ogo un ļaujas kaisles atplūdiem – tik cilvēcīgi un nepiespiesti, Palmasonam eleganti pludinot un brucinot dokumentārā un aktierkino krastus. Kad tiekos ar Palmasonu saules pielietajās Kannās, viņā mājo miers. Iepriekšējā vakarā silti uzņemtā “Mīlestība, kas paliek”, kas rudenī būs skatāma Latvijā, jau drīz vien pieteikta kā viens no gada ekrāna notikumiem. Filma uzņemta Palmasona dzimtajā pusē – nelielā fjorda ciematā valsts dievidu daļā – un tapusi uz 35mm filmlentes. Tajā iezogas Islandes dievidaustrumu dabas faktūras, kuras redzētas “Dievzemē” – viļņu bangas, dzīvās radības, floras bagātības un nenogurdināmais vējš – arī tie pārtop par filmas “ģimenes locekļiem”. “Dievzeme” ienākusi arī citā veidā, proti, Palmasons daļu jaunākās filmas ainu uzņēmis uz iepriekšējā darba filmas lentes pārpalikumiem. Režisors cikliski licis materiālu pie materiāla, mēģinājis ainas kopā ar bērniem un veidojis 21. gadsimta “Laulības dzīves ainas”. Allaž atvērts un ziemeļnieku manierē piezemēts, viņš dalās filmas tapšanas stāstā un tajā, kāpēc politika allaž iekrāso mūsu pasauli, ja mēs par to nemaz nedomājam. Lai gan filma šķetina laulāta pāra attiecības šķiršanās laikā Islandes dabas ainavās, mijoties gadalaikiem, tajā ir daudz sirreālu elementu. Kā jūs nonācāt līdz tik maģiskai intonācijai? Hlīnurs Palmasons: Pirmo filmas ainu, kurā mājas jumts tiek pacelts augšup, mēs nofilmējām 2017. gadā. Filma ir tapšanā ļoti ilgu laiku – tiesa, vien tās fragmentārā [atsevišķu ainu] nozīmē. Maģiskais reālisms, kā to citi dēvē, filmā ienāca, jo es centos būt rotaļīgs un ļaut filmai darīt to, ko tā pati vēlas. Reizēm tas nozīmē to, ka tu vari būt muļķīgs, vai atļauties darīt pirmo, kas iešaujas prātā. Vēlējos tā darīt un skatīties, kas notiks tālāk. Gluži kā Alans Ginsbergs reiz sacījis, ka pirmā doma ir pati labākā doma. Man liekas, ka viņš vienmēr pārrakstīja savus darbus – arī es pārrakstīju šīs filmas idejas. Filmēt un attīstīt filmu tik ilgi deva iespēju man reaģēt uz tapušo materiālu – es nofilmēju epizodes un tad tās attīstīju Zviedrijā. Saņemot atpakaļ filmas materiālu, es noskatījos un reaģēju, turpinot rakstīt. Tā ir reaktīva filma. Ja kaut kas ir redzams un noticis filmā, tā visbiežāk ir mana reakcija uz iepriekš tapušo materiālu. Tā pavisam noteikti ir atšķirīga filma no mana iepriekšējā darba. “Mīlestība, kas paliek” ir patiesi mājas kino. Burtiski. Tajā ir daudz elementu no jūsu iepriekšējām filmām: redzami jūsu trīs bērni un aktieri, ar kuriem esat iepriekš strādājis, piemēram, Ingvars Sigurdsons. Tāpat arī ainas, kas tapušas pirms daudziem gadiem. Esat teicis, ka šī filma ir par “atrašanu un plānošanu” – vai varat dalīties tajā? Hlīnurs Palmasons: Jā, man bija sajūta, ka laiks iet strauji uz priekšu. Kad es atgriezos atpakaļ darba procesā, man šķita, ka tik daudz kas notiek apkārt un laiks iet uz priekšu, kuru nav iespējams notvert. Tu redzi, kā bērni aug – tu pat vari  to ieraudzīt –, un es nodomāju: sasodīts, man to vajag nofiksēt vai ar to strādāt, iekams viņi ir prom no ligzdas. Mēs nopirkām 35mm kameru, un tā allaž bija manā mašīnā. Ja es redzēju kaut ko, ar ko spēju savienoties, to filmēju. Piemēram, daudzas ainas no “Mīlestība, kas paliek” ir tapušas uz “Dievzemes” filmas lentes pārpalikumiem – es tos ievietoju kamerā un filmēju debesis vai ko citu. Šo materiālu izmantoju, lai attīstītu scenāriju, un līdz ar to varētu teikt, ka tai ir “mājas kino” sajūta. Tā tieši ir jūtama.

Stāsta Latvijas Nacionālās operas un baleta izrāžu vadītāja Ieva Kārkliņa. Pie Latvijas Nacionālās operas un baleta bieži sastopami operas kolēģi, kuri īpaši smaidīgi izkāpj no tramvaja iepretim opernamam. Sabiedriskajā transportā atskaņotais operas zvans publikai ir samulsinājis. Šie zvani ir rekordisti, jo izrādes vakarā izskan pat līdz 24 reizēm, ja kopā saskaitām visus starpbrīža zvanus. To radītājs, komponists Arturs Maskats, strādājot pirms daudziem gadiem operā un esot nemierā ar atstāto mantojumu, lēmis, ka jāķeras klāt pie šī žanra mūzikas rakstīšanas. Pieaicinātais mūziķis Edgars Saksons atklāj daudzveidīgo zvanu krāsu pielietojuma mākslu. Komponists spēlēto pārklāj ar spainī birstoša stikla lausku glazūru. Kā uz puantēm pastiepies Do mažora sekstakords, kas atspēries uz augšējo skaņu, vēja zvanu noglāstīts, rosina skatītāju doties zālē, lai, gaismām izdziestot, ienirtu mākslas pasaulē. Publikas pusē melodiskos zvanus atskaņo 32 maskēti skaļruņi. Skaņas pastiprinātāju kopējā jauda ir 1000 vatu. Zvanu atskaņo ar speciālu digitālu atskaņotāju. Ja gadās kāda tehniska kļūme, ir iespēja publiku aicināt arī ar vienkāršu vibrozvanu signāliem. Operas gaiteņos klīst teiksmains pastāsts: Salāgojot operas vēsturiskās ēkas zvanu sistēmu ar jauno operas piebūvi, sanācis misēklis, un publikas zvanus nav varējuši atskaņot. Attapība zelta vērtē. Rekvizitoru noliktavā, kur mājo dārgumi un raritātes, atrasts glābējzvans. Izrāžu vadītājs, skandējot zvanu, izstaigājis visus stāvus un aicinājis viesus doties uz skatītāju zāli. Jādomā, ka daudzi operas apmeklētāji tovakar kavējās arī tālajās skolas laika atmiņās, kad uz klasēm skolēnus mudinājis doties skolotāja ieskandināts zvans. Teātra ēkās svarīga ir translācija, Tā ir iespēja māksliniekiem dzirdēt gan orķestra mūziku savās ģērbtuvēs un gaiteņos, gan atsaukties izrāžu vadītāja aicinājumam doties uz skatuvi. Ja šī iespēja liegta, teātrī valda zināms satraukums. Dažkārt translācijā dzirdamas viļņu šalkas vai čerkstoņa, tātad ir klāt vadu nomaiņas pasākums. Kad Verdi operā “Aīda” Ramfisa vietā kulisēs ierodas Radamess, steidzamības kārtā ierīko arī “ausu saspicēšanas” – brīdinājuma signālu, tad nu ir droši, ka ieklausīsies runātājā. Ir zvans, ko respektē visi izrādes dalībnieki – „uzmanību, gatavību…” aicinājums piecas minūtes pirms izrādes sākuma. Tā iedarbības spēks ir milzīgs, visiem uzrunātajiem jādodas uz starta pozīcijām. Tas ir arī bīstams, jo zvanam piemīt īpašas atmodināšanas spējas un tieksme ielauzties arī publikas pusē. Zvans, kuru operas darbinieks vai viesis nevēlētos dzirdēt, ir brīdinājums par ārkārtas situāciju ēkā. Šos zvanus un brīdinājuma ierakstu sevišķi rūpīgi pārbauda visas sezonas garumā. Pārbaudes tiek veiktas vēlos pirmdienu vakaros, kad teātrī rimusi kņada un iestājies naktsmiers. Kad jautā kolēģiem, kā tad tie skan, atbilde pārsteidz – kā drūmi kapu zvani, šķiet, citējot kādu literatūrklasiķi. Gluži vai baznīcas zvanu sauciens, Vecrīgas gotikai piestāvošs, bet rokmūzikas mīļotājiem atgādina grupas “Metallica” kāda episka hita ievadu. Sava dziesma ir arī operas dzelzs priekškaram. To kustinot, atskan nepārtraukts, uzmanību piesaistošs signāls, līdz cēlais bruņnesis savu darāmo paveicis. Par visu šo plašo skaņu signālu valstības labklājību rūpējas opernama  signālsistēmu tehniķi Vilnis Straume un Aivars Lukovskis. Tā opernamā it visur skan mūzika, un pat zvaniem ļauj dziedāt!

Krievijas un Ukrainas potenciālās sarunas Turcijā. Tramps devies uz Tuvo Austrumu reģionu. Izraudzīts jaunais pāvests. Kardinālu Robertu Frensisu Prevostu turpmāk pazīsim kā pāvestu Leonu XIV. Aktualitātes analizē Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta direktors Kārlis Bukovskis un politologs Andis Kudors. Prezidenta Trampa "zelta maršruts" 13. maijā Savienoto Valstu prezidents Donalds Tramps uzsāka savu pirmo nozīmīgo ārvalstu turneju, ierodoties Saūda Arābijas galvaspilsētā Rijādā. Faktiskais Saūdu monarhijas valdnieks – kroņprincis Muhammeds – sagaidīja nozīmīgo viesi pie lidmašīnas trapa. Laikam gan nav otra valsts galvas, kuru ar pašreizējo Baltā nama saimnieku saistītu tik ilga savstarpēja politiska un finansiāla atbalsta vēsture. Tramps amortizēja amerikāņu likumdevēju niknumu pret Muhammedu pēc publicista Džmala Kašogi noslepkavošanas, kam pavēli diezgan nepārprotami bija devis kroņprincis, savukārt pēc 2021. gada 6. janvāra Kapitolija demolēšanas, kad Trampu klans ASV biznesa aprindās bija kļuvis par izraidītajiem, Saūdu karaļnams ar gatavību iesaistījās daudzmiljonu kopprojektos. Prese prezidenta tūres sakarā uzskaita viņa ģimenes biznesa intereses visās apmeklējamajās valstīs, kamēr Baltais nams steidz noliegt jebkādas aizdomas par interešu konfliktu. Biznesa sakari, investīcijas – tāds ir tūres pamatakcents. Avioindustrija, kodolenerģētika, mākslīgais intelekts, militārā ražošana. Delegācijas sastāvā ir Īlons Masks un vēl pāris desmiti nozīmīgu investīciju, digitālo tehnoloģiju u.c. kompāniju vadītāju. Šodien, 14. maijā, Rijādā Trampam cita starpā paredzēta tikšanās ar jauntapušā Sīrijas režīma līderi Ahmedu aš Šarā, kuram prezidents, visdrīzāk, pavēstīs par Asada diktatūras laikā noteikto sankciju mīkstināšanu. Tālākais Baltā nama saimnieka ceļš vedīs uz Kataru, kuras varasvīri esot sadomājuši uzdāvināt viesim jaunu prezidenta aviolaineri, iekārtotu ar austrumu šeiha cienīgu vērienu un stilu. Šī ekstravagantā velte jau sacēlusi pamatīgu troksni Amerikā, jo opozīcijas un arī dažu valdošās partijas pārstāvji to uzlūko kā klaju korupciju. Visbeidzot pēdējais plānotais vizītes punkts ir Apvienotie Arābu emirāti. Tā vien šķiet, ka Tramps apzināti met līkumu reģiona sāpīgajiem krīžu punktiem. Viņa maršrutā nav Izraēlas, kuras problemātika šķiet teju pagaisusi no Ovālā kabineta dienaskārtības. Nav plānota arī pietura Omānā, kur jau kādu laiku risinās Savienoto Valstu un Irānas delegāciju sarunas par Irānas kodolprogrammas likteni. Tiesa, kad aktualizējās iespēja, ka ceturtdien, 15. maijā, Stambulā varētu tikties Volodimirs Zelenskis un Vladimirs Putins, Tramps izteicās, ka arī varētu tur iegriezties un piebiedroties sarunai. Tomēr pagaidām nekas neliecina, ka minētā karojošo valstu līderu tikšanās tiešām varētu notikt. Izaicinājumu domino Kā zināms, pirms t.s. Uzvaras dienas svinēšanas Krievijā tās vadonis Vladimirs Putins nāca klajā ar priekšlikumu trīs dienu ilgai uguns pārtraukšanai, uz ko no Kijivas sekoja atbilde, ka neredz tam jēgu. Tā vietā Ukrainas prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis ierosināja noslēgt trīsdesmit dienu pamieru, kas būtu reāls pamats miera sarunu uzsākšanai. Tomēr Kremlim šobrīd acīmredzot šķiet parocīgāk turpināt karadarbību, tai skaitā Ukrainas civiliedzīvotāju slepkavošanu. 10. maijā Kijivā ieradās četru Ukrainas sabiedroto – Francijas, Lielbritānijas, Polijas un Vācijas – valdību vadītāji, un šīs tikšanās rezultāts bija sestdien izskanējusī kategoriskā prasība Krievijai: līdz pirmdienas vakaram pārtraukt uguni vai arī rēķināties ar jaunām nopietnām sankcijām. Par šo pozīciju telefoniski esot informēts arī prezidents Tramps, kurš tai piekritis. Kremļa reakcija bija prognozējama – runasvīrs Dmitrijs Peskovs intervijā telekanālam CNN paziņoja, ka viņa valdība nepakļaušoties kādiem ultimātiem. Tomēr svētdienas, 11. maijā, vakarā sekoja Maskavas atbildes gājiens – Vladimirs Putins nāca klajā ar ierosinājumu bez iepriekšējiem nosacījumiem sākt tiešas sarunas starp Krievijas un Ukrainas pārstāvjiem. Sarunām būtu jāsākas 15. maijā Stambulā, pie kam Krievija tās traktē kā turpinājumu 2022. gadā notikušajam sarunu posmam, kurā Kremlis faktiski izvirzīja Ukrainai kapitulācijas prasību. Ar līdzīgiem uzstādījumiem plānoto sarunu sakarā jau nācis klajā Krievijas ārlietu ministra vietnieks Sergejs Rjabkovs. Tomēr arī Putina sarunu piedāvājums nepalika pēdējais. Gluži kā domino spēlē puses liek galdā arvien jaunus priekšlikumus, un pirmdien prezidents Zelenskis paziņoja, ka labprāt tiksies ar Putinu, ja vien Krievijas diktators pats ieradīsies Stambulā. Izpaužoties šai ziņai, par savu iespējamo klātbūtni izteicās arī prezidents Tramps. Jau iepriekš tika pieteikts visai respektabls Savienoto Valstu delegācijas sastāvs – uz Stambulu plāno doties valsts sekretārs Marko Rubio un īpašie sūtņi Stīvs Vitkofs un Keits Kellogs. Šobrīd gan nekas neliecina, ka Putins tiešām būtu gatavs rīt ierasties Turcijā, savukārt prezidents Zelenskis paziņojis, ka ar kādu zemāka ranga Krievijas pārstāvi sarunas nevedīs. Habemus papam 8. maijā biezu baltu dūmu vērpetes no Siksta kapelas skursteņa pavēstīja, ka Romas Katoļu baznīcas galva, 267. pēc skaita, ir izraudzīts. Par jauno pontifiku kļuvis kardināls, kura vārds nefigurēja iepriekš publiskotajos ticamāko kandidātu sarakstos – Roberts Frensiss Prevosts, līdzšinējais Vatikāna Latīņamerikas lietu komisijas un Bīskapu lietu dikastērijas, respektīvi, par bīskapu iecelšanu atbildīgās institūcijas vadītājs. Turpmāk mēs viņu pazīsim kā pāvestu Leonu XIV. Viņš ir pirmais Romas pāvests, kurš dzimis Savienotajās Valstīs un ir ASV pilsonis, otrais pēc sava priekšgājēja pāvesta Franciska, kurš dzimis Jaunajā pasaulē, un otrais, kuram dzimtā ir angļu valoda. Dzimis Čikāgā 1955. gadā, lielu līdzšinējā mūža daļu priesteris Prevosts pavadījis Dienvidamerikas valstī Peru, vispirms astoņdesmito gadu otrajā pusē vairākus gadus kalpodams kā Svētā Augustīna ordeņa misionārs, bet no 2014. līdz 2023. kā Čiklaijo provinces bīskaps. Starplaikā viņš darbojās minētā ordeņa amatos dzimtajā Čikāgā, līdz 2001. gadā tika ievēlēts par ordeņa galvu – ģenerālprioru. Kā zināms, savu amata vārdu pāvesti izvēlas paši, un izvēles motīvs parasti ir kāda priekšgājēja personība, kas jaunajam pontifikam šķiet iedvesmojoša un atdarināšanas cienīga. Kā var lasīt medijos, Leonam XIV tāds ir pirmām kārtām 19. gadsimta pēdējās desmitgadēs valdījušais Leons XIII – pāvests, kurš tiecās tuvināt katoļu baznīcu sava laika sociālo problēmu risināšanai. Aktīvi oponēdams tolaik popularitāti gūstošajam marksismam, Leons XIII tajā pat laikā aicināja apzināties zemāko šķiru ļaužu cilvēcisko vērtību, pieprasīja cieņpilnu attieksmi pret ikvienu sabiedrības locekli, kļūdams par vienu no kristīgās demokrātijas virziena idejiskajiem pamatlicējiem.

Elon Musk a présenté Grok 3 comme l'IA "la plus intelligente sur Terre", mais cette affirmation tient-elle la route ? Avec la multiplication des intelligences artificielles, de ChatGPT à Mistral en passant par Grok ou Perplexity, une question revient sans cesse : quelle est la meilleure ? Pourtant, vouloir les comparer de manière globale n'a pas vraiment de sens, car chaque IA a ses propres spécificités et excelle dans certains domaines tout en montrant des limites dans d'autres.Performance, véracité des réponses, rapidité, coût, impact environnemental... Sur quels critères comparer ? En outre, chaque utilisateur a ses propres attentes et biais, influençant ainsi la perception de la "meilleure" IA.

Stāsta muzikoloģe Ligita Ašme. Vispirms ieklausīsimies, ko vēsta citāts no recenzijas par kādu koncertu Toronto, Kanādā, 1965. gada oktobrī: “Nav šaubu, ka Aleksandra Okolo-Kulaka 25 gadu mūziķa gaitām veltītais jubilejas koncerts, kurā atskaņoja viņa pēdējo deviņu gadu darbus, to vidū vairākus pirmatskaņojumus, 31. oktobrī Toronto bija pielīdzināms revolucionāram notikumam, jo pirmoreiz latviešu koncertā atskanēja elektroniskā mūzika”. Tā rakstījis Alvils Vītrups laikrakstā “Latvieši Amerikā”. Tas liecina, ka trimdas latviešu sabiedrība, kuras muzikālā gaume bija samērā konservatīva, tomēr spēja novērtēt, cik drosmīga ir komponista Aleksandra Okolo-Kulaka izšķiršanās klausītājiem parādīt eksperimentu – mēģinājumu ar tajā laikā pieejamajiem līdzekļiem veidot elektroniskās mūzikas skanējumu. Aleksandrs Okolo-Kulaks elektroniskās mūzikas skanējumu izmantojis divos atšķirīgos veidos. Vienā kompozīcijā viņš apvienojis soprāna balsi, klavieres un čellu kopā ar magnetofona lentā ierakstītām skaņām, kuras izveidojis ar elektroniskas aparatūras palīdzību studijā "Electronic Music Studios Manhattan Research Inc.” (informācija par to lasāma trimdas žurnālā “Treji vārti”, 1993.03.01.). Šai kompozīcijai viņš devis nosaukumu “Trīs fragmenti solo balsij, čellam, klavierēm un elektroniskai lentei Nr. 3, Nr. 7 un Nr. 9”. Turpretim otrā skaņdarbā ar nosaukumu “Elektroniska epizode” čellam un klavierēm Aleksandrs Okolo-Kulaks ar instrumentu dažādu spēles paņēmienu palīdzību imitējis elektroniskās mūzikas skanējuma īpatnības.  Kā vēsta laikraksts “Latvija Amerikā”, koncertā “Trīs fragmentu solo balsij, čellam, klavierēm un elektroniskai lentei” atskaņošanā piedalījies komponists pats: “Līdzās soprānam, čellam un klavieru spēlei uzvirmo neparasti, bet vareni skaņu viļņi, kas brīžiem pāriet it kā svilpšanā, it kā tālrakstes mašīnas ritmam līdzīgā klaboņā, taču melodiskā. Tad skaņas atkal plūst plaši, brīvi un dzirdīgi. Vibrācijas... Tā ir elektroniskā mūzika. Vēl klausītāja auss ar to nav gluži apradusi, kad atkal dažādas skaņas savijas un uzmetas gaisā vilinošā kamolā, lai pēkšņi pārtrūktu. Skaņu varenums un dažādība tomēr ir apbrīnojama. Pats komponists – Aleksandrs Okolo-Kulaks – spiež dažādas pogas, skaņu ātruma un stipruma regulētājus, lai elektroniskās mūzikas lente perfekti sakļautos ar Ksenijas Brantes balsi, Mirdzas Nārunas klavierspēli un Dzidra Treimaņa čellu”. Abas šīs kompozīcijas tā arī palikušas kā vienīgā liecība par Aleksandra Okolo-Kulaka centieniem eksperimentēt ar sava laika novitāti – elektronisko mūziku. Citi viņa skaņdarbi akadēmiskajos mūzikas žanros ieturēti tradicionālā rakstībā. Tomēr šis eksperiments ir apliecinājums viņa neparastajam meklētāja, intelektuāļa talantam, kas izpaudies ne vien drosmīgā izteiksmes līdzekļu izvēlē, bet arī milzīgajā amplitūdā, kādā transformējies viņa radošais process kopš komponista gaitu pirmsākumiem trīsdesmito gadu deju mūzikā līdz novatoriskiem risinājumiem 20. gadsimta akadēmiskajā mūzikā. Ar savu neparasto dzīves gājumu Aleksandrs Okolo-Kulaks ir interesanta personība latviešu mūzikā. Ieguvis ekonomikas doktora grādu Beļģijā, apguvis mūziku privāti dzimtajā Liepājā, kopš skolas vecuma vienmēr spēlējis klavieres un komponējis. Plašākos starptautiskos panākumus guvis ar savu tango dziesmu “Skumjas”, ko izdevis ar pseidonīmu Saša Vladi. Diriģējis, spēlējis, aranžējis. Komponējis divas operetes, arī orķestra darbus, kormūziku, vokālo un instrumentālo kamermūziku gluži akadēmiskā izteiksmē un tur parakstījies ar savu īsto vārdu. Dzīvodams trimdā Ņujorkā, sekojis līdzi laikmetīgās mūzikas attīstībai, arī zinātnes un tehnikas sasniegumiem, ar prieku vadījis automašīnu, iegādājies kino kameru un filmējis. Labi zinājis vairākas valodas – latviešu, poļu, krievu, franču, angļu brīvi un daļēji arī spāņu valodu. Lasījis jaunāko literatūru angļu un franču valodā par jaunākajām kompozīcijas tehnikām. Tāpēc elektronika viņa mūzikā nav nejaušība. Gluži pravietiski viņš to raksturojis savās lekcijās trimdas latviešu inteliģences aprindās, intervijās un sarunās: “Elektroniskā mūzika ir jauna, bet tik fascinējoša ar savu krāsu, spēka un skaņu kombinācijas iespējām, ka tai pieder nākotne. Lielākais šķērslis tās popularizēšanā pagaidām ir speciālas elektroniskas studijas nepieciešamība, kuras iekārtošana prasa prāvus līdzekļus. Tādēļ ap 99 % elektroniskās mūzikas ASV rodas pie universitātēm – Kolumbijā, Prinstonā u. c., kur mūzikas profesori var lietot elektronisko aparatūru pēc patikas un aizvadīt dienas, meklējot skaņu un ritmu kombinācijas un tās komponēt. Kas kādreiz apmeklējis elektroniskās mūzikas koncertus Kolumbijas universitātē, tas tos nekad neaizmirsīs!”

Dans ce nouvel épisode du Glu'mmy Club, je vous invite à découvrir le parcours émouvant et courageux de Marie-Noëlle, une femme aux multiples casquettes : maman de 4 enfants, ancienne aide médico-psychologique, et aujourd'hui fondatrice de Pâte Ô Légim, une marque innovante de pâtes sans gluten à base de légumes exotiques.Marie-Noëlle a longtemps vécu dans l'ombre d'un diagnostic méconnu. Pendant des années, elle a cru que ses maux de ventre, nausées et malaises faisaient simplement partie de sa vie. Mais lorsque ses symptômes se sont aggravés, jusqu'à la laisser alitée et désemparée, elle a entamé un combat acharné pour comprendre ce qui lui arrivait.C'est en poussant les médecins, inspirée par une vidéo de Zoenogluten, qu'elle a enfin mis un nom sur son mal : la maladie cœliaque. Son voyage vers la Martinique a marqué un tournant décisif : l'alimentation naturellement sans gluten des Antilles a changé sa vie et réveillé sa passion pour les légumes exotiques.Dans cet épisode, Marie-Noëlle nous parle :✨ De son combat contre les idées reçues et son diagnostic tardif,✨ De la création de Pâte Ô Légim, née de son envie d'aider les autres à allier plaisir et santé,✨ De ses recherches pour développer des pâtes à base de patate douce, d'igname ou encore de banane plantain, riches en bienfaits et en saveurs.Son histoire est un témoignage de résilience, mais aussi une source d'inspiration pour toutes celles et ceux qui font face à des défis liés à une alimentation sans gluten. Que vous soyez curieux de découvrir des alternatives sans gluten ou simplement en quête d'une dose de motivation, cet épisode est pour vous !

Bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode du Glu'mmy Club, le podcast qui célèbre la vie sans gluten avec authenticité et gourmandise ! Aujourd'hui, j'ai le plaisir d'accueillir Leslie Cantero, une femme inspirante qui jongle avec brio entre deux univers qui semblent opposés : la médecine en réanimation et la pâtisserie.Médecin de profession, maman de deux enfants, et pâtissière passionnée, Leslie nous partage un parcours fascinant où la cuisine est bien plus qu'une simple activité : c'est un exutoire, une façon de s'exprimer et de se reconnecter avec elle-même. Mais son histoire prend un tournant inattendu il y a un an, lorsqu'elle découvre être hypersensible au gluten, après des années de douleurs et de symptômes incompris. Cette révélation change sa vie – et sa manière de cuisiner.

Aizvadītajās dienās ir risinājušies tiešām spriedze pilni notikumi. Gruzijā kā palaidējmehānisms nemieriem nostrādāja premjerministra 28. novembrī teiktais, ka valsts uz četriem gadiem aptur iestāšanās procesu Eiropas Savienībā. Sākumā galvaspilsētā Tbilisī, pēc tam arī citās pilsētās cilvēki izgāja ielās, paužot savu neapmierinātību. Kopš tās dienas situācija kļūst arvien saspringtāka. Negaidīti strauji notikumi risinājušies savulaik pilsoņu kara plosītajā Sīrijā, izmantojot arī Krievijas vājumu, opozicionārie grupējumi nedēļas nogalē uzsāka ofensīvu, piespiežot Sīrijas armiju strauji atkāpties, un ļoti ātri nemiernieki pārņēma kontrolē gan pār valsts otro lielāko pilsētu Alepo, gan visu Idlibas provinci, dodoties Damaskas virzienā. Nedaudz arī analizējām notikušo Dienvidkorejā, kur 3. decembrī valsts prezidents izsludināja ārkārtas stāvokli uz pāris stundām. Aktualitātes analizē Austrumeiropas politikas pētījumu centra pētnieks Mārcis Balodis un Latvijas Transatlantiskās organizācijas ģenerālsekretāre Sigita Struberga. Gruzija krustcelēs 28. novembrī jaunizceptā Gruzijas valdība meta kārtējo, bet nepārprotami simbolisku izaicinājumu valsts proeiropeiskajai opozīcijai, paziņojot, ka Gruzija vienpusēji pārtrauc iestāšanās sarunas ar Eiropas Savienību līdz 2028. gadam un atsakās no jebkāda savienības finansiālā atbalsta. Tā Gruzijas vara reaģēja uz Eiroparlamenta rezolūciju, kas pieprasīja sarīkot Gruzijā atkārtotas parlamenta vēlēšanas un aicināja Eiropas Komisiju pakļaut sankcijām Gruzijas valdības vadītājus. Iestāšanās sarunas un finansējums, kā izteicās premjerministrs Iraklijs Kobahidze, tiekot lietots kā šantāžas ierocis. Kā zināms, pēdējā laikā par Gruzijā valdošā politiskā spēka „Gruzijas sapnis” retorikas vadmotīvu kļuvusi „eirointegrācija pēc Gruzijas noteikumiem”, proti, tāda, kas respektētu gruzīnu tautas „tradicionālās vērtības”. Jau pāris stundas vēlāk Tbilisi oficiālo varu paslavēja Krievijas vadonis Putins, sakot, ka apbrīno šīs valdības „drosmi un raksturu”. Gluži citās domās ir desmiti tūkstošu protestētāju, kuri kopš pagājušās ceturtdienas pilda Tbilisi ielas, cenšoties bloķēt parlamenta ēku un pieprasot atkārtotas vēlēšanas stingrā starptautisku novērotāju kontrolē. Valdība sūtījusi pret protestētājiem plašus policijas spēkus, tai skaitā speciālo uzdevumu vienības, laižot darbā stekus, asaru gāzi un ūdensmetējus. Protestētāji no savas puses apmētājuši policiju ar pirotehnikas petardēm un dažādiem priekšmetiem; daži avoti ziņo arī par Molotova kokteiļiem. Kā norāda žurnālisti un cilvēktiesību aizstāvības organizācijas, policijas rīcība, salīdzinot ar agrāko, izceļas ar īpašu brutalitāti. Presē parādījies ne viens vien sižets par piekautiem abu dzimumu protestētājiem, pie kam fizisko izrēķināšanos pavadot vulgāras un aizskarošas varas kalpu lamas. Par protestu centrālo figūru un balsi turpina būt valsts prezidente Salome Zurabišvili, kura pasludinājusi par prettiesiskām un neatzīstamām 26. oktobrī notikušās parlamenta vēlēšanas. Tā ir tikai pēdējā epizode vairākus gadus ilgstošajā valsts galvas konfliktā ar partijas „Gruzijas sapnis” kontrolēto parlamentu un valdību, kas iezīmējās līdz ar oficiālās Tbilisi pakāpenisku arvien noteiktāku tuvināšanos Kremlim. Šogad prezidentes pilnvaru termiņš beidzas, un parlaments jau ir izsludinājis jaunas vēlēšanas 14. decembrī. Saskaņā ar „Gruzijas sapņa” īstenoto konstitūcijas reformu, prezidentu tagad ievēlēs nevis tauta, bet gan elektoru kolēģija, kurā ietilpst visi 150 parlamenta deputāti, Adžārijas un Abhāzijas autonomiju augstāko padomju deputāti, kopskaitā 41, un 109 vietvaru pārstāvji; pavisam 300 elektoru. Sīrija atkal uzliesmo Nu jau nedēļu pilsoņkarš Sīrijā atkal ir pasaules mediju pirmajās slejās. 2020. gadā ar Krievijas, Turcijas, Irānas un Savienoto Valstu līdzdalību tika panākta virkne vienošanos par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Bašara Asada režīmu un opozīcijas spēkiem, taču neviena no pusēm acīmredzami neuzskatīja šo situāciju par paliekamu. Kad Damaskas valdības galvenās atbalstītājas – Krievija un Irāna – vairs nespēja veltīt pietiekami daudz savas militārās kapacitātes Sīrijai, opozīcijas uzbrukumi valdības pozīcijām kļuva vien laika jautājums. Laiks pienāca 27. novembrī, kad grupējums „Haijat Tahrir aš-Šam” līdz ar vairākām mazākām sabiedroto grupām devās uzbrukumā Sīrijas otrai lielākajai pilsētai Alepo valsts ziemeļrietumos. Valdības spēki izrādījās acīmredzami nesagatavoti atvairīt šo ofensīvu, un 30. novembra vakarā Alepo bija opozīcijas spēku rokās. Asada režīms un tā sabiedrotā Krievija atbildēja ierastajā manierē, vēršot pret opozīcijas ieņemtajām teritorijām aviācijas un artilērijas triecienus, taču tas nelīdzēja apturēt uzbrucēju sauszemes spēku virzīšanos. Līdz 1. decembrim valdības spēki bija atspiesti līdz Hamai, piektajai lielākajai Sīrijas pilsētai apmēram 135 kilometrus uz dienvidiem no Alepo, sākās kauja par pilsētu, un pēc dažu avotu ziņām šobrīd sadursmes notiek jau pašā pilsētā. Tāpat opozīcijas spēki virzās uz priekšu arī dienvidaustrumu un dienvidrietumu virzienā no Alepo, un vakar parādījās informācija, ka Krievija uzsākusi savu jūras spēku evakuāciju no Tartusas bāzes, kas atrodas apmēram 50 kilometru attālumā no Hamas. Grupējums „Haijat Tahrir aš-Šam”, tulkojumā – Levantes Atbrīvošanas organizācija, radās 2017. gadā, saplūstot vairākām mazākām Sīrijas bruņotās opozīcijas grupām, un kopš tā laika kļuvusi par dominējošo spēku Idlibas provincē – opozīcijas citadelē Sīrijas ziemeļrietumos. Idejiski grupējums orientējas uz salafismu – fundamentālistisku sunītu islāma novirzienu. Turcija to atzīst par teroristisku, kas gan netraucē turku bruņotajiem spēkiem sadarboties ar „Tahrir aš-Šam” cīņā pret t.s. Islāma valsti un grupējumu „Al-Qaeda”. Pats grupējums tā līdera Abu Muhammada al-Džulani personā sevi pozicionējis kā džihādistus, taču tādus, kuru darbības mērķi aprobežojas ar Tuvo Austrumu reģionu, nekādi neapdraudot Eiropu vai Savienotās Valstis. Pašreizējā militāri politiskajā procesā Sīrijas ziemeļos iesaistīti arī kurdu teritorijas kontrolējošie Sīrijas Demokrātiskie spēki, kas nav īpaši draudzīgās attiecībās ar „Tahrir aš-Šam”. Valdības vienībām pametot Alepo, kurdu vienības iegāja vairākos pilsētas rajonos, pamatā lai evakuētu no turienes kurdu tautības civiliedzīvotājus. Un ja starp kurdu spēkiem un „Tahrir aš-Šam” fiksētas vien dažas sadursmes, tad tieši pret kurdiem vērsts Turcijas atbalstītā opozīcijas grupējuma Sīrijas Nacionālā armija uzbrukums uz ziemeļaustrumiem no Alepo.

"Nekas nav bezgalīgs, izņemot visumu un cilvēka muļķību. Un par visumu es neesmu tik drošs, " tā reiz teicis Alberts Einšteins. Vai Visumam ir gals, vai tomēr tas ir bezgalīgs? Ja reiz tas izplešas, tad tam vajadzētu būt arī "galam un malai"? Kā var noteikt Visuma izmērus un uzzīmēt karti kaut kam tik nepatverami milzīgam? Vai cilvēks no mazas saules sistēmas vēl mazākas planētas maz to var apjēgt un izdarīt? Gluži kā Dullais Dauka savulaik vēlējās noskaidrot, kas paveras aiz horizonta, tā arī mēs mēģināsim palūkoties, cik tālu stiepjas Visums. Stāsta astronoms, Latvijas Universitātes Astronomijas institūta pētnieks Ilgonis Vilks. Sarunas sākumā jau izskanēja, ka Alberts Einšteins pats īsti līdz galam nav ticis skaidrībā, vai Visums ir bezgalīgs vai tomēr nē. Kāda šobrīd ir tā valdošā doma astronomijā, kosmoloģijā par šo jautājumu? Ilgonis VIlks: Arī astronomi nav tikuši līdz galam skaidrībā, vai galīgs vai bezgalīgs. Es piedāvātu sarunu sākt ar mazākiem mērogiem, lai izveidotu sev galvā to Visuma modeli, un tad varbūt būs vieglāk pieskarties šim jautājumam. Es gribētu sākt ar to, ka pieņemsim, ka mēs dzīvojam kaut kādā mājā, kur ir viens dzīvoklis, tajā ir viena istaba, un tā ir mūsu Saules sistēma. Piemēram, kā šeit studijā, te ir galds, vairāki krēsli, un mēs sēžam uz tā viena krēsla - uz Zemes, un esam tā sakot, līdz krēsla balstam tikuši - uz Mēness. Un priecājamies, ka esam ļoti tālu tikuši. Tad viņi ir aizsūtījuši savas zondes pa istabu uz citiem krēsliem, citām planētām, un četras zonas pat izsūtījuši ārā no istabas, un konstatējuši, ka tur ir kaimiņa istaba, kas ir diezgan tukša. Lūk, tas ir tas, ko mēs esam izdarījuši saviem kosmiskajiem lidojumiem. Tad ir nākamais solis, ir šī starpzvaigžņu telpā. Pieņemsim, šeit deg pie galda spoža lampa, tā mūsu Saule, tad kaut kur ir, ko mēs varētu uzskatīt, tāda cita māja, kurā arī ir spoža lampa - cita zvaigzne. Un pa tām tuvējām mājām mēs zinām diezgan daudz. Mēs pazīstam kaimiņus, kādi viņiem ir niķi, stiķi, kādas tām zvaigznēm ir īpašības, cik tālu viņas atrodaās, ko viņi tur dara, domā darīt vai ir darījuši. Tas ir diezgan skaidrs. Mūsu tuvējais kvartāls ir diezgan labi iepazīts. Bet, jo tālāk, jo grūtāk. Vēl mēs diezgan labi pazīstam savu pilsētas rajonu. Jo viens kosmiskais aparāts ir kartējis divus miljardus zvaigžņu, uzskaitījis katru zvaigzni individuāli, izmērījis viņas atrašanās vietu, kustības ātrumu, ko nu vēl pa zvaigzni var dabūt zināt. Bet divi miljardi zvaigžņu ir tikai simtā daļa no 200 miljardiem zvaigžņu mūsu galaktikā, mūsu zvaigžņu sistēmā. Var teikt, ka mēs savu piepilsētas kvartālu zinām. Bet tālākais jau ir stipri maz zināms. Ja, tur ir daudzi miljardi zvaigžņu, bet par tām mēs jau varam pateikt daudz mazāk. Kaut arī kopumā, protams, skatoties teleskopos visos virzienos, cilvēki savu pilsētu ir izpētījuši diezgan labi. Mēs dzīvojam Piena Ceļa galaktikā, izzinām tās formas, saturu, sastāvu, arī apmēram, kā tas viss ir radies un kā tas varētu mainīties nākotnē. Lūk, tā mēs jau tikām no viena dzīvokļa, mūsu Saules sistēmas - līdz galaktikai, kas ir jau tāds diezgan liels Visuma struktūras objekts. Pilnīgas skaidrības par tām Visuma telpas īpašībām tomēr nav. Ir izveidotas visādas teorijas, matemātiskas teorijas, kas apraksta dažādas telpas. Aprakstā ieliektu telpu, izliektu un plakanu. (..) Visums tomēr ir izveidojies no kaut kāda galīga lieluma objekta, kurš izpletās, bet nebija tā, ka kaut kādu gaisa balonu sāka piepūst vienā istabā un viņš kļuva arvien lielāks. Tā tas īsti nav. Izpletās pati telpa. Viņa arī tagad turpina visuma, Visumam izplešoties, palielināties. Nav tā, ka mēs runājot tagad pakāpeniski attālinātos viens no otra vai citi cilvēki uz Zemes, jo mūs tur kopā gan gravitācijas spēki, gan visādi citi elektromagnētiskie spēki. Bet tādā ļoti lielā mērogā, ja mēs runājam par milzīgām galaktiku kopām, tad jau viņas arī plešas lielākas un attālums starp tām galaktiku kopām arī aug. Un to var iztēloties varbūt atkal analoģijā ar māju. Tomēr iztēlosimies tādu dīvainu māju, kas aug lielāka, un tajā mājā mēs sēžam, teiksim, divi vienā istabā, attālums starp mums nemainās. Bet, tā kā tās istabas kļūst lielākas, tad tomēr attālums līdz kaimiņa dzīvoklim palielinās. Drīz būs simts gadu pagājuši, kopš šis fakts eksperimentāli konstatēts. Pēc tam to vajadzēja, protams, interpretēt, ko tas īsti nozīmē. Bet šī Visuma izplešanās tagad ir tāds kā neapstrīdams fakts. Vienīgais, par ko šobrīd debatē, vai tā notiek paātrināti. Ja Visums sākās, bija kaut kas līdzīgs lielajam sprādzienam, kurā sākās šī izplešanās, un pēc tam tur visur iekšā darbojas gravitācija, tad viņam vajadzētu izplesties arvien lēnāk. Un tā visiem šķita līdz apmēram laikam pirms 20 gadiem. Tad atklājumi parādīja, ka nē, cienītie, tā nav, Visums izplešas arvien ātrāk. Tas jau nevar tā kā pats no sevis notikt, un tam ir jābūt kādam iemeslam. To iemeslu izveidoja teorija, ko nosauca par tumšo enerģiju. Pagaidām nav daudz uz priekšu virzījušies priekšstati par to, kas tā tāda ir. Ir veikti ļoti daudzi novērojumi pēdējos 20 gados un jauni teleskopi, kas tieši ar to nodarbojas, bet tādas skaidras atbildes vēl nav, vai šāda tumšā enerģija ir un kas tā īsti ir. Te atkal varbūt jāsauc palīgā Einšteins, kurš savulaik šādu kosmoloģisko konstanti bija definējis, ieviesis, lai viņam skaistāki iznāktu vienādojumi, lai visi gali kopā. Un pēc tam, kad izrādījās, ka Visums izplešas, viņš teica: "Tā ir mana mūža lielākā kļūda." Un pēc tam nākamās paaudzes saka: "Nē, varbūt, Einštein, tev bija taisnība." Bet laiks rādīs, pagaidām nav skaidrs, kas tas ir. Mēs zinām, slavenā formula E=MC2, ka ir iespējams masu M sasaistīt ar enerģiju E caur gaismas ātrumu C. Un tad ir enerģijai var rēķināt atbilstošo nosacīti masu, un tad izrādās, ka tā tumšā enerģija, tā, kas dominē Visumā, ir 85% no visa, kas mums ir. Un pārējais? Tur ir vēl kaut kas, tur ir tumšā matērija varbūt. Un tad tikai beidzot tās zvaigznes, galaktikas, ko astronomi tik labi izpētījuši. 21. gadsimts visādā ziņā ir nācis ar pārsteigumiem un licis pārvērtēt šo pasaules uzbūves priekšstatu diezgan būtiski. Tas lielais jautājums šobrīd ir: tieši kā šī tumšā enerģija sekmē Visuma izplešanos? Ilgonis Vilks: Teiksim, tās izplešanās ātruma izmaiņas ir nomērītas, ir saprasts, ka tas notiek paātrināti un cik strauji tie izmēri pieaug. Bet kas ir tā tumšā enerģija, tur ir dažādas teorijas, un pagaidām nevienu no tām nav iespējams apstiprināt vai noraidīt. Un cik liels ir ātrums, ar kādu Visums izplešas? Ilgonis Vilks: Ātrums ir, jāsaka, nosacīti mērāms. Piemēram, kad mēs atrodamies uz Zemes, veicam novērojumus teleskopā, raugāmies uz tālām galaktikām. Un, jo tālāk galaktika atrodas, jo ātrāk viņa attālinās. Un uz Visuma robežas nosacītās jau tas ātrums tuvojas gaismas ātrumam. Tā kā telpa aug visa, tad skaidrs, ka it kā katru gabaliņu šiem ātrumiem ir jāsummējas, viņi tuvojas tai universālai robežai - gaismas ātrumam pie Visuma redzamās robežas. Tas viss ir ļoti grūti aptverams, tas viss ir jādomā, jālasa, atkal jādomā daudzas reizes. Man ar tas ir prasījis ļoti daudz laika, līdz esmu kaut cik to drusku sapratis populārā līmenī.

Das hat nach meiner Ansicht natürlich viele Ursachen, aber die letzten Jahre haben den unbedarften Betrachter sicherlich verwirrt. Angefangen hat die Veränderung mit Corona, die Pandemie hat sich über Monate und Jahre wie Blei auf die Gemüter gelegt. Ganz egal wie "man" sich inhaltlich zum Virus positioniert, den einzelnen Menschen hat der gesamte Prozess (Lockdown, Impfung, Unsicherheit) sehr geschadet. Und das Trauma ist ja in keiner Form aufgearbeitet, es wurde die Decke des Schweigens über den Sachverhalt gelegt, keine Klärung, keine Antworten. Kaum war die Hysterie abgeklungen, da war schon das nächste Thema in aller Munde, der Krieg in der Ukraine, die neuen Flüchtlinge, die Gefahr eines Atomschlags, die Ängste der Einzelnen wollten kein Ende nehmen. Auf einmal wird auch die wirtschaftliche Lage der Deutschen schwierig, viele Geschäfte schließen, die Sorgen werden größer, die Ängst werden von professionellen Angstmachern immer weiter geschürt. Und die Städte werden immer gefährlicher, ein aggressives Grundpotential liegt in der Luft, immer häufiger höre ich gerade von Frauen, dass sie nicht gerne in der Dunkelheit alleine nach Hause gehen, dass sie ganze Gegenden meiden, das Leben wird immer unsicherer. Und dabei ist zu beobachten, dass bei vielen Leuten eine innere Resignation stattfindet, die Köpfe nicht mehr stolz nach vorne schauen, nein, der Blick geht zu Boden, nur nicht auffallen, hier gibt es nichts zu sehen. Was wäre also zu tun, was könnte dem Einzelnen helfen? Ich schlage vor, dass sich ein jeder Mensch einmal Gedanken zu verschiedenen Fragen macht, wie etwa: Wo komme ich her?Wo werde ich hingehen? Warum bin ich hier? Wie hängen die Dinge zusammen? Hier findet meiner Meinung nach nur der Buddhismus die Antworten, die mir entgegenkommen. Die Lehre Buddhas sagt, dass wir zuerst das Leiden beenden müssen, um das Leben wirklich leben zu können. Es ist an der Zeit, die eigenen Gedanken zu reflektieren und sich auf die Suche nach innerem Frieden zu begeben. Der Buddhismus bietet hier einen Weg, das Leiden zu überwinden und das Leben bewusst zu gestalten. Durch Meditation und Achtsamkeit kann man einen klaren Geist entwickeln, der in der Lage ist, die Herausforderungen des Lebens mit Gelassenheit anzunehmen. Es geht darum, die Kontrolle über das eigene Leben zurückzugewinnen und den Blick wieder stolz nach vorne zu richten. Der Buddhismus lehrt uns, dass wahres Glück von innen kommt, und es liegt an jedem Einzelnen, diesen Weg der Selbstfindung zu beschreiten. Nur so können wir die Köpfe wieder erhoben tragen und die Welt mit einem positiven Blick wahrnehmen. Denn der Weg ist das Ziel! Buddha sagte einmal: “Das Leiden beenden bedeutet nicht, die Umstände zu verändern, sondern die Art und Weise, wie wir auf sie reagieren."

Copyright: ⁠https://shaolin-rainer.de⁠ Bitte laden Dir auch meine App "Buddha-Blog" aus den Stores von ⁠Apple⁠ und ⁠Android⁠. ⁠Please support me on Patreon Wie können wir den Hass überwinden? Buddha gab uns den achtfachen Pfad, einen Weg der ethischen Praxis, geistigen Schulung und Weisheit, der uns zur Befreiung vom Leiden führt. Der achtfache Pfad besteht aus folgenden Elementen: rechte Ansicht, rechte Absicht, rechte Rede, rechtes Handeln, rechter Lebenserwerb, rechte Anstrengung, rechte Achtsamkeit und rechte Konzentration. Indem wir diese Aspekte in unserem Leben kultivieren, können wir die Geistesgifte durch ihre heilsamen Gegensätze ersetzen: Gierlosigkeit, Hasslosigkeit und Unverblendetheit. Um Hass zu überwinden, müssen wir vor allem die rechte Ansicht entwickeln, die uns die Wirklichkeit so zeigt, wie sie ist, und nicht, wie wir sie uns wünschen oder vorstellen. Die rechte Ansicht lehrt uns, dass alles vergänglich, leidvoll und ohne eigenes Wesen ist, und dass wir alle miteinander verbunden sind. Wenn wir diese Einsicht haben, erkennen wir, dass Hass keinen Sinn hat, denn er richtet sich gegen etwas, das nicht wirklich existiert, und schadet uns nur selbst. Wir erkennen auch, dass alle Wesen das gleiche Streben nach Glück und Freiheit vom Leiden haben, und dass wir ihnen daher mit Liebe und Mitgefühl begegnen sollten. Die rechte Ansicht hilft uns auch, die rechte Absicht zu entwickeln, die unsere Motivation für unser Denken, Sprechen und Handeln bestimmt. Die rechte Absicht ist frei von Hass, Gier und Verblendung, und ist stattdessen von Güte, Großzügigkeit und Weisheit erfüllt. Die rechte Absicht bewegt uns dazu, allen Wesen Gutes zu tun und ihnen zu helfen, statt ihnen zu schaden oder ihnen zu schaden. Die rechte Absicht ist auch die Basis für die rechte Rede, das rechte Handeln und den rechten Lebenserwerb, die alle darauf abzielen, Harmonie, Frieden und Wohlbefinden für uns selbst und andere zu fördern. Um den Hass zu überwinden, müssen wir auch die rechte Anstrengung praktizieren, die uns dazu anhält, die unheilsamen Geisteszustände zu vermeiden, zu überwinden, zu vermindern oder zu ersetzen, und die heilsamen Geisteszustände zu erzeugen, zu bewahren, zu vermehren oder zu vervollkommnen. Die rechte Anstrengung erfordert Disziplin, Geduld und Entschlossenheit, um den Hass und andere negative Emotionen nicht zu nähren, sondern sie zu erkennen, zu akzeptieren, zu transformieren oder loszulassen. Die rechte Anstrengung unterstützt auch die rechte Achtsamkeit und die rechte Konzentration, die uns helfen, unseren Geist zu klären, zu beruhigen und zu fokussieren, um die tieferen Ebenen der Weisheit zu erreichen. Der Buddhismus lehrt uns also, dass Hass nicht durch Hass aufhört, sondern durch Liebe. Liebe ist die Kraft, die uns mit unserem wahren Selbst, mit anderen Wesen und mit der ganzen Existenz verbindet. Liebe ist die Essenz des Dharma, der Lehre Buddhas, die uns zum Nirvana führt, dem Zustand der vollkommenen Freiheit, Glückseligkeit und Erleuchtung. Wenn wir den Hass überwinden, können wir das Rad des Lebens zum Stillstand bringen und die Juwelen des Buddha, des Dharma und der Sangha, der Gemeinschaft der Erwachten, verwirklichen. Der Weg ohne jeglichen Hass ist das Ziel! Buddha sagte dazu einmal: “Hass wird niemals durch Hass beendet; Hass wird durch Liebe besiegt, dies ist ein ewiges Gesetz."

Fluent Fiction - Norwegian: Echoes of Love: A Heartwarming Tale from the Streets of Oslo Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/echoes-of-love-a-heartwarming-tale-from-the-streets-of-oslo Story Transcript:Nb: Novellen min starter på en grå dag i hjertet av Oslo. Lars stod på en travel gate. Høye bygninger strakte seg rundt ham. Biler kjørte forbi. Stemt ble spredt overalt. På ingen måte var det et spesielt sted, men det var hjemmet hans.En: My novella starts on a gray day in the heart of Oslo. Lars stood on a bustling street. Tall buildings surrounded him. Cars passed by. Voices were scattered everywhere. It was by no means a special place, but it was his home.Nb: Rundt halsen hadde Lars et skjerf. Han hadde på seg en gammel lue. Hans røde nese stakk ut mellom dem. Vinteren i Oslo var kald. Men det Lars slet mest med var ikke kulden. Det var ikke engang det travle bylivet. Det var noe annet, noe merkelig.En: Around Lars' neck was a scarf. He wore an old hat. His red nose peeked out between them. The winter in Oslo was cold. But what Lars struggled with the most was not the cold. It wasn't even the busy city life. It was something else, something strange.Nb: Lars prøvde å si et ord. Det var et så vakkert ord. Men hver gang han forsøkte, hørtes det ut som han kvelte på noe. Ordet var "kjærlighet". Åh, hvordan han ønsket å kunne si det! Han ville si det til den han brydde seg om. Men stemmen hans ville ikke samarbeide.En: Lars tried to say a word. It was such a beautiful word. But every time he tried, it sounded like he was choking on something. The word was "love". Oh, how he wished he could say it! He wanted to say it to the one he cared about. But his voice wouldn't cooperate.Nb: Lars visste at han måtte øve. Han tok et dypt pust. "Kj...", han prøvde, men det hørtes mer ut som "Kru...". Han ristet på hodet. Han prøvde igjen, "Kæ...", men det hørtes ut som "Ke...".En: Lars knew he had to practice. He took a deep breath. "Lov...", he tried, but it sounded more like "Glu...". He shook his head. He tried again, "Loo...", but it sounded like "Le...".Nb: Tilfeldige folk gikk forbi. Noen ga ham rare blikk. Lars kjente hans hjerte pumpe raskt. Han rødmet og så ned. Men han visste at han måtte prøve.En: Random people walked by. Some gave him strange looks. Lars felt his heart race. He blushed and looked down. But he knew he had to try.Nb: Dagene ble til uker. Uker ble til måneder. Lars ga ikke opp. Han fortsatte å prøve. Han prøvde på bussholdeplasser. Han prøvde i parker. Han prøvde i dusjen. Han prøvde til og med i søvne!En: Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Lars didn't give up. He kept trying. He tried at bus stops. He tried in parks. He tried in the shower. He even tried in his sleep!Nb: Det var en vårdag. Snøen i Oslo begynte å smelte. Lars stod foran et speil i leiligheten sin. Han tok et dypt pust. Da sa han det, "Kjærlighet!". Det var perfekt!En: It was a spring day. The snow in Oslo began to melt. Lars stood in front of a mirror in his apartment. He took a deep breath. Then he said it, "Love!". It was perfect!Nb: Lars spratt opp med glede. Han løp ut av leiligheten. Han sprintet ned de travle veiene. Han kom til frederikshallen. Han klatret opp trappene fire om gangen. Pustende, banket han på en dør.En: Lars jumped up with joy. He ran out of the apartment. He sprinted down the busy streets. He arrived at frederikshallen. He raced up the stairs four at a time. Gasping, he knocked on a door.Nb: En kvinne åpnet døren. Hennes øyne var som stjernene. Hans hjerte hoppet. "Jeg..." han begynte. Han tok en dyp pust. "Jeg elsker deg," sa han. "Jeg har prøvd å fortelle deg det på lenge." Han lukket øyne, ventet på hennes svar.En: A woman opened the door. Her eyes were like stars. His heart skipped a beat. "I..." he began. He took a deep breath. "I love you," he said. "I've been trying to tell you for a long time." He closed his eyes, waiting for her response.Nb: Det var noen sekunder stille. Deretter brøt hun ut i en bredt smil. Hun kastet armene rundt ham. "Jeg elsker deg også, Lars," sa hun.En: There was a few seconds of silence. Then she broke into a wide smile. She threw her arms around him. "I love you too, Lars," she said.Nb: Lars følte et stort lettelse fylle ham. Han hadde endelig klart det. Alle de dagene med øving hadde betalt seg. Han smilte tilbake. Han holdt henne tett.En: Lars felt a great relief fill him. He had finally done it. All those days of practice had paid off. He smiled back. He held her close.Nb: Så gikk de inn, hånd i hånd. Solen hadde begynt å sette. Byen ble badet i et varmt lys. Og endelig, i den travle byen Oslo, hadde Lars funnet sin kjærlighet.En: So they went in, hand in hand. The sun had begun to set. The city was bathed in a warm light. And finally, in the busy city of Oslo, Lars had found his love.

welcome to the travel path podcast hello welcome it's great to be here thank you for having us yes you guys are reporting all the way from England and this has been a long time coming I think we reached out about 3 months ago had a couple of reschedules and issues with RV which I'm sure we'll get into later on in the episode but we know you as the viager feeling on Instagram and on YouTube you guys have some incredible content all over the world the Eastern side of the globe there's places that we have never seen or heard of before and the wildlife content and the Drone content it's literally like National Geographic it's crazy I encourage people to go check out your channel after this podcast is over why don't we start by having you share a little about yourself and then letting us know what your current travel lifestyle looks like so at the moment we are traveling in our Mo home um we're trying to see as many places in Europe or around the world as possible and we started off by we just sold everything and just went for our dreams didn't we yeah we do a lot of um hiking and uh Mountain climbs and we thought that would tie in brilliantly with our travels so went for it awesome yeah and one of the videos I remember we saw in the thumbnail on it is amazing but it's the ladder hike you did in Austria where it looks like you're literally hiking a ladder to the sky it's crazy I'm sure we'll be talking about that later on the episode but um you quit your jobs you're 9 to five what did your work life looked like when you were traveling uh when we're traveling so it's it's we got pretty hectic lifestyle haven't we because we're doing the hikes that sometimes take eight hours with the filming um and then all the other things like filling up water getting places to stay so we for a while were nonstop I think that we probably went even maybe two or three months without even having like a proper day off to stop um and then there was a couple of times when we did hikes and we're like right we haven't got enough footage or it's not exactly what we want so we went back and redid these hikes and we've talked about it in some of our other videos but yeah we're just nonstop yeah I mean we've we've been up mountains twice because more because of me because I think the footage isn't good enough so I have to drag her along to come up it again so well that's good that'll make you guys expert on those Trails right and travel is a full-time it's a full-time job with you know dealing with the rig and planning where you're going and doing a hike once or twice so yeah we told this to each I told this to you hope last night when you're watching your videos it looked like like it probably took you three times longer to hike that trail those mountains than it would take a normal person because you were putting cameras down you were stopping to do Drone footage so there's a lot and you just said you did it twice so yeah um so in terms of work so you weren't like working remotely for another company you were working it sounded like it was more vlogging you were trying to grow your YouTube channel and do that so we can relate to that quite a bit it sounds like our path where we saved up we weren't working for anybody else we wanted to explore this new desire this new dream of doing vlogging and YouTube and travel vlogging full-time um cuz we had seen when we were planning our trip channels that were doing that it looked like a realistic thing to do so we got into that and we enjoyed it quite a bit so what were your expectations getting into YouTube and travel vlogging and so far has the channel lived up to them it's been it's been very difficult to um get subscribers and views on YouTube but we've come across really hasn't it yeah and I think we thought it was going to be a lot easier and um same with you guys you do a lot of filming and more not not so much vlogging where there's a lot of channels out there that do vlogging and that's great but the difference between vlogging and getting real cinematic uh nature shots is completely different so we're we're out there filming a lot longer and bless Mike honestly sometimes he'll wake up at 8: a.m. start editing and he's still on the computer until like 10 p.m. um but we really thought that it would take off quicker and like you said some of the bigger channels you think oh wow like they've put out some of these videos and they got so many subscribers yeah he just think it'll be a lot easier I think um and it isn't it isn't easy and um yeah YouTube's difficult because you kind of just get lost within the millions and millions of people that use it and yeah it's difficult isn't it to to to get anywhere with YouTube I think we're not actually currently monetized um so we're still looking to build up watch time and we've got a long way to go still haven't so and I think we also wanted to really stick away from and we we talk about this a lot we wanted to stay away from the click baiting yeah we just didn't want to I mean We've joked about it a few times and we're like no that's not being true to ourselves we don't want to go down that route and I know there's some channels that do it but we just wanted to completely stay away from that and yeah well I really appreciate appreciate your honesty here sharing the difficulties of YouTube because you already see a lot of channels and I think it's difficult on two fronts you mentioned the editing it just takes a long time just to get a video done but at the same time once that video is done there's the difficulties in having it grow and there's just so much competition but going that back to that first point how much time would you say your videos are anywhere between like 10 25 minutes long how much time does it take to do a video I think your videos take longer than ours just based on watching them it looks like the editing is done like on the next level but I almost came to the conclusion it was give or take like an hour per minute every minute the video was it took like an hour to make somewhere somewhere around that maybe even longer sometimes sometimes I'll do a few minutes and then I'm just not happy with it and I'll scrap it and redo the whole thing again or I'll change the music to it because I'm not happy with the music yeah so then it even it takes even longer to get those minutes back yeah um but yeah it for me it takes long time I think I'm more because um I'm never really happy with a lot of the footage I get I want I I try to make it perfect but I I feel as if it never is perfect if that makes sense so uh too much of a perfectionist I say you're your toughest critic right it's tough to be you can't be perfectionist yeah that makes it tough and then sometimes after it goes live you'll watch it and you'll after viewing it and editing it a thousand times you're like why did I leave that in yeah yeah yeah yeah I think it's been amazing though like the and I'm sure you guys that the comments that come in and then you just think okay this is really like it's worth it to meet so many new amazing people and to yeah have people compliment your your work and yeah and that's what's quite nice about YouTube is that you you get to meet new people and and really nice great people and you don't really get that opportunity in life very often especially not in the UK really yeah sure especially people that share that same interest right in the travel and the hiking it's it's nice to build that own Community around something that you really enjoy exactly yeah yeah did you have any video editing or vlogging experience before you started pursuing this we didn't have any uh vlogging experience um to be honest one of our first movies we we made we found it quite difficult to talk to a camera and we didn't really know how to do it or what to say and with video editing uh when I was um probably around 12 years old till 15 years old I used to do a lot of um skateboarding and I had one of the latest versions of um Adobe Premier Pro it was a 7.0 version yeah so was a very old version and I used to record and um document skate skateboarding movies so that's where I kind of learn a lot of how to use um professional editing software and uh cameras as well how to use how to manage video cameras what cameras do you use when you're vlogging now and what's the editing software you're using uh so we use um ad do Premier Pro we use um a GoPro 10 is that right GoPro 10 and then you've got your drone haven't you yeah so I've got a a Maverick uh free um DJI mavic free Drone and a uh Canon R5 uh camera I think we're looking to get some while we're in England get some more different cameras yes so we want to get a a 360 yeah uh camera for when we hike and things like that yeah because when we're climbing sometimes it's a little bit hard to hold the GoPro and climb so I think we want to see different types of equipment what would be better for us and we going back to that expectation and we picked up the Canon R7 we were about I think 10 days into a road trip and we had we were having the time of our lives we were on Cloud 9 we were basically we we we were enjoying the vlogging part we were seeing some amazing things so we and we knew like our channel is just going to take off once we get back and start uploading content so we bought the Canon R7 fast forward to when we are actually editing content and uploading content to YouTube you know you post one video doesn't really take off you post second one third one then you we would look back and see how the video was performing like one of the first like epic video we did was Badlands National Park we go and check on it not only did it not really do much but then there were like three or four other videos that got posted that week in that area and they were all equally as good that moment there we kind of learned oh there's a lot of competition out there and we never saw ourselves as having like the hundreds of thousand subscribers but we figured maybe that 10,000 or so range and you know make it enough for it could be worth a while and you know make some money off it maybe have it you know provided an income source for a next trip something like that but it's been um it's it's definitely taken its time for sure what advice would you have for yourself if you were starting over in doing this again maybe just it's going to take a while so be patient and I think really reaching out to other people has really helped um with the YouTube Not only just to make friends but to get to know other people's channels and to kind of yeah maybe I would like to add that a little bit and kind of yeah little bits here and there and and yeah it's a really hard one I think it probably depends on what kind of Channel you are because I feel like some Channel some topics really take off and some are a lot harder to get into really so it's time and patience and yeah I think like Mike said at first we weren't sure if we wanted to be completely vlogging or we wanted to be cinematic so maybe the first couple of videos It's finding out where you want to be without being really wishy-washy if that kind of makes sense did you spend a lot of time looking at the analytics on YouTube uh we didn't at first no not at first we didn't um but then yeah we at one point we got start getting really obsessive with it um but now we just kind of take a step back um and just let it do whatever it does now um yeah we we started becoming quite obsessive with trying to build our Channel and yeah it was almost become depressing because it's almost like well why isn't this working and we put so much time so much money and so much effort into this and we're not getting anywhere and then in the end you just got to think you know let it do whatever you want to do we're still having a great time and that's what it's really about is the experience as opposed to doing it for other people I guess yeah you'll have those memories forever you'll have that footage to go back and look at it in a few years you're being your authentic self you're figuring out how you want to make these movies and I think that's one of the most important things is the process can be challenging but enjoy it along the way yeah definitely but yeah we were on the same page look just glued we spent a couple of weeks just Glu to the analytics we listen to you know the podcast or we listen we read the book YouTube secrets we tried to implement all these things and you it sounded it seemed like you would hear like 10 different things from 10 different people right one person or one thing we're listening to is it's it's that first 302 retention rate so we'd look at that we try and change our retention rates and then we would see that you know some of our like one of our worst performing videos there was a video at theore Roosevelt National Park had an insanely High retention rate after like 30 seconds but it flopped it didn't have any good views and then like same thing with thumbnails we would try doing thumbnails and you can drive yourself crazy like doing analytics and yeah it gets to a point where it's just like I said you kind of take a step back let it do its thing as long as you're having a good time you know you just keep plugging away keep chugging yeah I think I got to a point like every morning I wake up and like do we have any more subscribers what is our watch time on have you ever seen your videos decrease um uh watched uh with views we have yeah yeah with views we have which is strange yeah yeah that's we had one video was like 134 views and then it was at 94 I was like what that's crazy I think that's the point we like you know what we're just going to let this do its thing yeah yeah at the moment we're we're seeing our um watch time go down um because it's been a year now with our other movies it's kind of the watch times battling against each other with the the new content we're releasing and with the old content that's being lost with watch time yeah we're lucky we don't have the subscribers yet but like we had we have one video our VOR video that has like 4,000 hours of watch time everything else is like not near that so we have the watch time because of that one video but everything else if we didn't have that we'd still be behind on watch time and the subscribers obviously we're at like 700 or so now it's like one video and it took off out of nowhere like we it was on YouTube for like a year and then all of a sudden it just like was getting subscribers and Views and watch time and so you never know when something's going to go viral yeah well thank you guys for sharing I think this is an important episode for somebody looking to get into whether full-time or part-time they want to explore travel vlogging um I think this sets a very realistic expectation on on what to expect and I encourage you to check to check out if you're looking to get into traveling full-time and vlogging full-time to check out Chelsea and Mike's channel the viager feeling and just see how their content is it's incredible content and those are the types of channels like they mentioned it didn't take off like they expected it to but if you were to compare that to any other channel that is I mean the quality is there so there's you need to set like those realistic expectations we can I guess move on a little bit into so the actual travel aspect so rewinding a little bit before you took your travel I know you were traveling for quite a while before you took this long trip but you did quit your job 9 to5 how long did it take you to come to the conclusion that you wanted to quit your job and then pursue this traveling full-time I think you had the you thought about it first really didn't you for for a long time Mike was thinking about it even before we were together um and I was a little bit like maybe maybe not um and I think we kind of just went to it we saw our van when when we went to look at her and we were like right this is the van this is what we want it's got everything we need kind of went from there didn't it yeah we just jumped yeah it just kind of like what's it like spiraled and we were like okay we're ready let's go yeah we didn't plan much we just went when it's a raid it's right you know so fast forwarding when you actually got on the road what were some of the big frustrations you faced while traveling finding places to uh Park and to sleep over I think um because we've traveled lots of different countries and I must say England's one of the hardest places where we went to Scotland first to find somewhere to stay and not kind of be moved on it's such a small place and so many motor homes and Van go over there um that was really quite difficult wasn't it it was yeah um and it all depends on we we found whatever season it is it's especially summer months it's very difficult to travel in in some countries we like to stay off grid quite a lot and um not have to pay for campsites as much but in the south of Germany we had to pay every night for a campsite because you just can't sleep in layb uh they move you on um so you actually have to go to a csite yeah and I think also starting was it's kind of knowing our routine like how often are we going to need to fill up water um how often do we just getting like how often do we do these things or go shopping or yeah it's just getting into a routine where you don't have a house you don't have a full fridge or a toilet you don't have to empty and it's just getting to know all the new different aspects of a motor home life I think yeah when you were traveling beforehand so I know you were hiking and doing epic things before you got into your motor home were you traveling in a motor home or was this your first time in a motor home when you started going full-time first time first time really wow yeah you guys are brave we didn't know anything about motor homes really did we and we we bought one and had to learn everything about it yeah uh and obviously YouTube and things like this helped us out um I feel like we've been doing it for a year and a half and we're only just feel like we're just ticking all the boxes now because it's there's always something that Springs up and you think oh I didn't think about that um maybe we should get this instead and yeah one one thing for me was the um what I found difficult was um uh gas cylinders and so we bought British gas cylinders with um e EU adapters so we could refill our gas cylinders uh the problem is with um the in the UK we have a uh a leftand frad and everyone else has a right-and frad if I say or vice versa um so the adapts they sent us I didn't check them and we went away and I went to screw this thing on and it didn't work um so I couldn't refill the bottles so then we had to get gas bottles from France and then we went to Spain and I had to get new gas bottles for Spain new gas bottles for Portugal with the adapters as well so we spent a fortune continually buying new gas bottles and new gas uh cylinder attachments and pipes as well um that was quite frustrating wasn't it we now buy French gas cylinders only cuz France is kind of in the middle of all the places we visit anyway but yeah that was a that was a massive frustration for us wasn't it to begin with Lefty tidy ready Lucy is a thing I never would have guessed that in the RV you bought Luna that was a 19-year-old motor home did you have any experience well I know you did a lot of work renovating yourself but there were issues you had some dampness you had mice in your RV would you do that again would you buy a 19-year-old motor home if you starting this over again was there more work involved in upkeeping than you expected I feel like more things went wrong than we expected but I think talking to other motor homers it is just what happened there's some someone we talked to they had a fiveyear motor home five-year old motor home and they had damp problems as well so I think sometimes it is pot luuck we were really lucky because the people we bought the motor home off they were only the second owners and the first owners were their parents and unfortunately the gearbox went on Luna before we bought it so they had to pay out for that but I think which is quite an expense as you probably know anyone to buy a motor home I think you just have to have these things are probably going to go wrong at some point um and also if you to buy anything newer we wouldn't have been able to travel really because we didn't have the money to buy anything newer yeah it's difficult because we couldn't buy anything brand new yeah we only I mean we only spent um 20,000 on our motor home and if we would to put another 10,000 into it I can imagine it would only have knocked off a few more years whereas we could have had boiler issues again fridge issues again uh damp issues um yeah it's difficult to predict it is difficult to predict I we bought brand new and we had a long list of issues that happen with us so you and I think as an RV owner you have to expect it one thing I learned from Matt's RV reviews on YouTube he talked about how you're literally driving this thing through hurricanes and earthquakes and tornadoes you're going down the road bumpy roads things are going to happen so just be prepared for issues and you touched on overnight sleeping and that's that is one of the challenges just to kind of Link this back to the United States that's one thing during our road trip we faced was overnight camping and sleeping and that's one thing we did not expect to have to deal with was like several nights we were trying to find a place to stay and in episode 9 we talked with lanaa and Tequila she mentioned she has zero issues finding places to sleep and she's full-time in her van and the reason for that is because she's more remote we were going to more more destination National Park touristy areas and she recommended apps like onx eye Overlander in the dirt where she find her places to stay so that was a challenge if you're looking to do a cross country trip or an RV trip in the United States it can be tough but if you're a little more remote you can find places to to stay yeah that's good all right so we talked about some of the bad news and the frustrations we'll switch to some of the good news what do you love most about your travel lifestyle uh I feel just being bit more free I yeah seeing all these amazing places and but it's really funny so we obviously love mountains and as we were driving to the German Alps we were both like oh my God oh my God look at these Mountains they're massive um we because in England there are lots they're pretty small mountains that we have um so yeah just being free and kind of yeah just being it's just freedom and um kind of being out of the system more um yeah and and it's almost true living where you live to survive rather than you live to you live to work to get money to survive if that makes sense um and one of the coolest things too is when you're traveling you know in our age group right you you can do so much more right A lot of people that take these extended trips to go to Europe to go cross country and see the national parks in the USA you know they do that as a retirement goal and so they're just going to those overlooks and they're seeing the mountains and they're beautiful but they're not climbing up them like you and you guys are doing that now which I think is probably one of the most freeing things is that you have the capabilities to not just travel but experience it in a way that most people don't yeah and that's that's the the very reason why we did it our at our age now because we knew that once we retire we wouldn't be able to do all the things we enjoy um so ex exactly the reason why we just took took our opportunity and it's a big thing selling your home and not having anywhere to live apart from a motor home but um yeah it you you only get this opportunity once in my opinion and just got to go for it yeah we've met so many people along the road saying oh we wish we did it with we were your age and and I'm not so sure so much with your situation but we we don't have kids or we don't have animals and no one's really relying on us so let's take the opportunity while we don't have um so many yeah I'm not sure what the word is yeah people to yeah yeah that's it yeah y yeah we're in the exact same phase where we don't have those commitments and we met people on our trip they asked us how we could do it we we got asked enough s by people wondering how we were able to do this we wanted to start this podcast and share with people and you know we're in the same position we pursued this travel vlogging thing got a taste for it so far it hasn't met the expectations that you know either of us wanted it to but we're young we're we can bounce back you know we're hard workers we can find other ways to make money while we're still pursuing this and then you know keep chipping away yeah y good we'll switch gears a little bit to the financial part of traveling full-time what does your budget look like um Jo it's really bad uh first couple of months we kind of we didn't really keep on top of a lot of things I think we were just so excited we were like yeah let's go do this let's go do that and I have now made us a little uh a chart to keep on top of what we do for leisure what we spend on food yeah like Financial spreadsheets things like that a lot of ours was on petrol or diesel to start with because we were doing long distance um runs but also depending on what country you go to so we just went through Bosnia and it was super cheap um and we had come from Austria and Germany so it was like two totally different sides of the spectrum so anywhere really between maybe 400 to a thousand depending on where we are and how he's laugh sounds bad when we've got no money coming in I think in a year and a half we' probably spent over 30 grand yeah we've had we've had a lot of work with our boiler and now our fridge is gone and oh I haven't included those oh theist go I mean 30,000 just traveling with food and pounds 30,000 yeah uh probably 45,000 I don't know a lot closer now I think the pound and the I'm not sure work out the lifestyle you're living traveling fulltime the biggest expense is fuel diesel fuel in your case because you're driving a lot and that's been the pattern where people who are driving a lot their biggest expense is fuel versus if you're more stationary you're still traveling fulltime but you're staying in places longer it's groceries it's other expenses yeah but either way I mean we've we've tried to budget a lot um like we don't go to many restaurants um and spend out big bits of cash we do kind of we always go to discount supermarkets and yeah so we've we've tried to budget as much as we can yeah our next time out is going to be very limited like do we really need to go to that place or is it just because we want to go um are we going to benefit from it and it's great that obviously we love going to the mountains because it doesn't really cost that much no but we did go a little crazy in our first couple months and spent a lot of money yeah but I think you have to prepare for the first couple of months to just know that like you get in that mode of like I need to do everything I need to go everywhere I need to experience the food the culture the activities um and that does wear off as you travel a little bit more you do hone into that budget but I think we're who wherever you start however long you're going just expect that first few weeks few days few months to just you know be where the bulk of your money goes yeah that's a tip we learned from Jim and Michelle from airst streamer a couple episodes back where yeah it was that honeymoon phase the first couple months they didn't budget they just wanted to see what it was and then they were like okay we need to tame this down a little bit and a really good tip we learned from Dylan way back in episode one was in terms of fuel cuz fuel is your biggest expenses looking at Google Maps seeing how far you're driving and then adding like 50% to the miles like when we did our cross country trip we planned it was a it was a 10,000 M trip and we planned for like 11,000 Mi for some reason we didn't think we'd be driving that much in between you know going back and forth national parks and we ended up driving like 1,000 mil so it's almost 50% a little bit more than what Google Maps tells you as what your route is yeah that's good advice how do you get internet and cell service when you're traveling we have a a net gear modem a travel one which um requires a telephone SIM card our Sim we we carry free SIM cards two for each one of our phones and then one for this internet box that we have and our plan um pretty much covers uh all of the EU for free unlimited data unlimited text unlimited calls so we bought quite big packages um I think your edit the editing on the computer takes quite a lot of data so yeah want a a big data plan yeah so we've got like this uh Netgear night talk it's called and it's pretty good it it get it pretty much gets internet anywhere doesn't it um where our phones get it it will it will manage to get internet somewhere yeah and I bought like a little uh signal booster to it like an antenna as well which you plug in yeah works really well nice we'll put a link in the show notes for everything we talked about in today's show a couple more questions before you wrap everything up what has been the coolest experience you guys have had while traveling I think I don't know I think you love Japan didn't you was it your coess experience I think so yeah so we had to uh we to see Mount Fuji and it took us four trips up 200 sets of stairs to see finally see it because it had was just covered in clouds and it was really lovely the the time that we saw it cuz we had been there like you said our fourth time there was a whole crowd of people everyone was there for hours and all of a sudden it just decided to to show up and yeah so to be able to see that like a day or so before we fly home was pretty amazing yeah Japan was a a beautiful place and I've always wanted to to visit all my life and it was just it was magical to be able to go in the um cherry blossom season as well and yeah it was just the the people there are are great people they're really polite and it was it was one of the best places we've ever been yeah yeah it was very different awesome you guys have a video on that we'll Link in the show notes as well after spending so much time traveling what is one thing you've learned that you cannot live without I know it sounds really silly but probably my phone and I know it sounds very like um techno I would say it's your hair dryer I don't use my hair dryer H my phone because we do so much on it it's it's networking with people on YouTube it's our navigation it's booking places yeah yeah yeah it's true and like I never want because we want to be free I never want to say technology I rely on it so much but it does so much for us with anything else there almost there almost always a way around something you know if your shower breaks go into a lake or whatever it might be yeah um but yeah to be able to to navigate and book places and uh find the correct information for the places you want to visit or hike um yeah we'll probably be quite lost without our phones yeah without that information yeah without the internet I guess was there anything that you thought you would need while you were traveling that you realized that you really didn't I probably wouldn't take so so many clothes so I took a lot of um items to keep me busy so I took uh like a German no it wasn't German it was a French book to learn how to speak French but you're so busy when you're on the road whether it's filling up water or um going shopping or just cleaning yeah we thought we'd have a lot more time didn't we to kind of Doss around and yeah I thought it'd be more hippie-ish where we could kind of just lay around and not do so much but it is is constantly on the go there's always something to do or it's not it's it's not a holiday it's traveling in a at home I mean it's not relaxing no no not as relaxing as we thought it was going to be yeah if you could have listened to this podcast when you were first starting out on your road trip what is one question you wish I asked today and how would you answer that now when did you know was the right time to travel um so a lot I get asked this quite a lot we get asked this quite a lot and I honestly feel like there isn't always the right time to travel it's whether it goes in with your lifestyle or not at any age you can travel whether you're older um and you just want to kind of go around the cities or you're our age and you want to hike the mountains yeah the right time to travel is whenever the right time to travel is for you but I would always say make sure you've got enough money to back whatever you need to do because something can always go wrong like with us the boiler or the fridge um it ate into our traveling expenses and to really plan as much as possible so the first time we went out we didn't plan all of our stops um and it was really quite confusing and um it was just really hectic because we're like well should we go here or should we go there but the second time we came to Europe we had everything pinned on the map like okay well today we're going to do this and then in a few days we're going to go to this place and it just made everything so much easier I mean we found ourselves driving halfway down one country and then looking up on the map and being like well actually we've missed a place then we'd have to go back up again to come back down again and it was just really messy and it consumed quite a lot of fuel as well say yeah I think that's a really good point too is sometimes you in one spot and you have the next point that you're headed to but sometimes you have to take that step back and actually look and say okay what's right here where I am right now cuz there's a ton of times where we drove you know hundreds of miles out and I was like oh shoot you know that thing was actually way back there that we were 10 minutes away from and so taking that time too to just slow down look at your surroundings and where you are right now before you worry about you know what's the next point on your map and going back to just jumping in not that we're advising you know you jump in if you're not financially ready to live on Road it depends on your tolerance like we wanted a foundation where we had enough saved up where we could take this trip and it sounds like you and I were on the same page in this road trips everybody we've talked to they're more expensive than people think they're going to be you know be smart about it go through expenses listen to this podcast and hear what other people talking about how much they're spending on things like that do as much preparing as you can and then you know get into it and get out there and go see these amazing things for somebody listening to this podcast right now who would like to set up a lifestyle similar to yours what is one thing they could start doing today similar to what you just said like um I would never put myself in debt um for this lifestyle I would always make sure you've got enough um savings and enough information on how to pursue the travel lifestyle and yeah it all depends on what your interests are and yeah I just I just always like kind of recommend anyone to not go into debt for this life stuff it's so much more difficult coming home and I think for us like maybe going back thinking okay let's put x amount of money to one side in case there is an emergency before we went traveling we didn't do that um so always have like a little Safety Net in case something does go wrong whether it's medical or it's the vehicle you're in or the hotel or whatever it is so you've always got that little bit of emergency pot in case anything does happen yeah mainly money get great were there any YouTube channels or books or other influences that got you onto this path to travel I think we came across um someone called Ryan Shirley and he covers when he goes to each country he really covers um the really important things so it's he just says this is a great place this is a great place it's like top top 20 places to visit in each country um yeah it just really gets to the point doesn't it because sometimes we we're looking on Google or however we're trying to find the best places to go to and we might go to his channel and be like oh we we missed that that looks like an amazing place to go to and now like meeting other people especially like we definitely want to go to America like that's how dream was to get Luna to America so definitely American YouTubes have been amazing for us and we've started making a list be like oh we want to go to this state to do this and awesome all right we we'll uh we'll link some of those channels you had mentioned in our show notes below and while my audience is checking out while our audience is checking out those channels where can they find out more about you guys so you can find us on YouTube So at the Vier feeling we also have uh a website don't we we do uh via in.com or the Vier feeling.com which is currently in the making yeah so we're just working on that at the moment we're just putting everything together and

Together with Sean Ulbs of The Eiffels, we had the pleasure of interviewing Michael Shuman over Zoom video!GRAMMY-nominated musician and multi-instrumentalist Michael Shuman is GLU. The frontman of Mini Mansions and member of Queens of the Stone Age is showing another side of himself with his independent debut EP, MY DEMONS out February 24th. Today's title track release features Phantogram's Sarah Barthel and explores how childhood traumas continue to seep into adult life. Emotional explosions emerge in a realm of lo-fi hip-hop with upbeat, poppy moments while the coinciding video turns heads with a steamy, latex-laden Barthel symbolizing the demons that dominate GLU's thoughts as he raps satirically through a leather ball gag. GLU's genesis was rooted in honesty, creativity, and the desire not just to exist but to exist deeply, and with no major concentration of genre aside from melding them, he unravels ribbons of rhyme and musicianship that are introspective and engaging.Self-produced and mastered by Dale Becker (Doja Cat, Chris Brown, Khalid), the MY DEMONS EP as a whole is a look into the late nights, solitude, and the existential crisis that come with surviving alone through a pandemic. Taking influence from Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots, Mac Miller, the back and forth of the artist's soft soundscapes lead way to catchy lyrics touching on relatable subjects of struggle, loss, addiction and trauma. Previous single “Night Shift,” highlights the impending doom we feel, generated by the current state of our world.“For me, ‘MY DEMONS' was about being on my own terms; having my own momentum,” said Shuman. “This is something that is different because I do come from punk rock, but I'm doing this… so it's not going to sound like your typical DJ or Hip-Hop producer. I want it to feel fresh, and that's the most exciting thing for me.”MY DEMONS Track Listing:MY DEMONS ft.
