Līdz 21. septembrim Latvijas Arhitektūras muzejā skatāma arhitekta un arhitektūras vēsturnieka Ilmāra Dirveika zīmējumu izstāde “Dirveiks. Rekonstrukcijas un hipotēzes”. Vēstures iepazīšana notiek ar dažādu maņu palīdzību. Modernās tehnoloģijas ļauj ievērojami paplašināt vēstures popularizēšanas veidus, sākot no skārienjūtīgiem ekrāniem līdz ierīcēm, kas rada mākslīgo realitāti. Blakus jaunajām iespējam joprojām pastāv vienkāršākais veids, kad zīmējums jeb grafiska rekonstrukcija top manuāli. Rekonstrukciju zīmējumi ir radīti, lai saprotamā formā veicinātu plašas sabiedrības interesi par vēsturi.  Izstādē piedāvātās grafiskās rekonstrukcijas ir pamatotas rūpīgā vēstures izpētē, ko lielākai daļai objektu veicis zīmējumu autors, kompilējot starpdisciplināru pētījumu rezultātus. Ja objekta vēsturē ir kāds būtisks notikums, kas radījis arhitektūrā radikālas izmaiņas, rekonstrukcija ir īpaši nepieciešama, nereti ejot tālāk par zināmo un iekļaujot fantāzijas elementus. Izstādē tāds piemērs ir 1577. gadā uzspridzinātais Cēsu ordeņpils rietumu korpuss un Rundāles pils sākotnējo staļļu būve. Cēsu ordeņpils akmens detaļu skices ir hipotēzes – versijas, kur un kā detaļa iebūvēta sākotnēji. Komplektā ar akmens detaļām šīs skices ir redzamas Cēsu ordeņpils ekspozīcijā.  Vēstures popularizēšanas un izglītošanas nolūkos dažreiz jāizgatavo gandrīz pilnīgas fantāzijas. Arī šeit tiek meklēti jebkādi kaut fragmentāri avoti. Tāda ir Ropažu pils, kuras rekonstrukcija ir fantāzijas skice. Šādu zīmējumu galvenais mērķis un attaisnojums ir sabiedrības ieinteresēšana un kultūras mantojuma popularizēšana. Vēstures izzināšana ir nepārtraukts process, arī rekonstrukcija ir bezgalīgs ceļš pretī nesasniedzamajam – pilnīgas patiesības noskaidrošanai. Katrs nākamais pētnieks, kam ir kas jauns sakāms, savā pārliecībā un rekonstrukcijas idejās virzīsies tālāk.     

Episode SummaryJoel Casse spent over two decades inside large global organisations — most recently as Nokia's Global Head of Leadership Development — watching senior teams up close. What he found wasn't a talent problem. It was a behaviour problem: packed agendas with no room for the team itself, leaders competing to showcase expertise rather than build on each other, and decisions perpetually kicked offline.The conversation explores why this happens — egos, function-first loyalty, a bias for action that keeps teams stuck above what Roger Harrison calls the "waterline" — and what actually shifts things. Joel's tool is the balcony move: stepping out of the discussion to name what he observes. One quiet observation ("I've counted eight 'let's take it offline' in 20 minutes") became a two-hour conversation about how that team made decisions. Slow to go fast.Key Themes & TakeawaysMost senior teams debate (I'm right, you're wrong) rather than dialogue (let's understand each other) — and almost never ask genuine questionsThe waterline model: teams focus on task and content; relationships and process stay hidden until something breaksThe SPQA framework: Situation → Problem → Question → Answer. The mistake is jumping straight from problem to answer"Let's take it offline" is a red flag — it means the conditions for real decisions don't exist in the roomIrritating behaviours go unchallenged because peers won't hold each other accountable and leaders see it as babysittingThe balcony move — stepping back to name what you observe — is the most underused act in senior team leadershipWhen senior leaders change, it trickles down: their direct reports start doing check-ins, calling out patterns, working the same wayThree Reasons to ListenListen if your leadership team meetings feel busy but never quite land anywhere. Joel names exactly what's happening — and why the smartest people in the room are often the ones causing it.Listen if you've ever sat in a meeting counting how many times someone said "let's take it offline." There's a two-hour conversation hiding in that habit.Listen if you want one thing to do differently as a leader or coach. The balcony-and-dance move is simple, and Joel has watched it ripple from the C-suite all the way down.Notable Quotes"When a leader is doing 80% of the talking, there's a fair chance that the team isn't doing well. They're not learning." — Joel Casse"Teams tend to be a collection of people — not necessarily having a common goal with interdependency and a common fate. If you fail, well, that's your problem." — Joel Casse"Leadership is your main course. It hass become the side dish — or a tiny pot of condiment you don't even have to have." — Dan HammondJoel's bioJoel Casse is an executive coach and leadership architect with over 20 years of experience developing leaders and teams in global, matrixed organisations. Based in Munich, he has spent the majority of his career at Nokia, where he coaches executive teams and directs high-potential programs. Before Nokia, he worked at Novartis. He has worked with CEOs, Presidents, and VPs and their leadership teams on topics ranging from succession discussions to strategic off-sites to cross-team collaborations. He has led company-wide leadership frameworks, overseen flagship executive programs, and guided multiple leaders to C-suite promotions. Joel also teaches at Duke CE and Emeritus Business School, delivering executive interventions for companies in retail, banking, insurance, and IT. He holds an ILM 7 Executive Coaching accreditation and co-authored the book “Leadership for a New World.”

Throughout a career spanning roles as a teacher, BBC television producer, coach and prolific author, Jenny Rogers has never been afraid of getting things wrong.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, the executive coach, supervisor, trainer and author of coaching titles such as Are You Listening? tells host Neil Mackinnon about the vital importance of experimentation and of embracing our mistakes in order to benefit from a lifetime of learning experiences that make us better coaches and ground us in our humanity.Jenny flies the flag for a whole-life perspective in coaching, eschewing narrow approaches in favour of a style that acknowledges the way our personal and working lives are inextricably intertwined, and makes room for all the parts of us.A deep interest in psychotherapy has enriched Jenny's coaching practice and she highlights the modalities that fascinate her the most, as well as the key therapeutic ideas and techniques that are readily transferrable to any coaching practice.Jenny also discusses her latest books, which address important questions about navigating boundaries as a new coach and working through the challenges many women face in midlife.This episode is full of sage advice drawn from a wonderfully diverse, rich career in coaching and creativity, shared by a practitioner whose dauntless spirit of curiosity and passion for understanding human relationships is as infectious as it is inspiring.Jenny and Neil also talk about:- The relationship between trauma-aware coaching and psychodynamic therapy- Nurturing a healthy writing practice and overcoming creative blocks- How we accumulate rigid ways of thinking, and why it is hard to make change on your own- The art of embodying a place of non-judgement, and offering challenge with compassionTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Jenny Rogers https://www.jennyrogers.com- BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk- Delia Smith https://www.deliaonline.com- Madhur Jaffrey https://www.madhurjaffrey.com- BBC Two https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo- BBC Books https://www.penguin.co.uk/company/publishers/bbc-books- Columbia University https://www.columbia.edu- Management Futures https://www.managementfutures.co.uk- Are You Listening (book) https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1115931/are-you-listening/9780241973986.html- Julia Vaughan-Smith https://www.juliavaughansmith.com- Nscience https://nscience.uk- Franz Ruppert https://www.franz-ruppert.de/en/- Irvin Yalom https://www.yalom.com- The Gift of Therapy (book) https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-gift-of-therapy-irvin-d-yalom- Carl Rogers https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carl-Rogers- Gabor Mate https://www.upaya.org/person/dr-gabor-mate- University College Hospital London https://www.uclh.nhs.uk- Guildhall School of Music & Drama https://www.gsmd.ac.uk- How Not to Be a Doctor, by John Launer https://www.duckworthbooks.co.uk/book/how-not-to-be-a-doctor/- Barbican Centre https://www.barbican.org.uk- City of London Corporation https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk- EMCC Global https://www.emccglobal.org- ILM https://www.institutelm.com- Coaches Training Institute (Co-Active) https://coactive.comBIOGRAPHY FROM JENNYI am an executive coach, coach trainer and supervisor, and accreditation assessor for APECS, the premier coaching accreditation body of the UK. Along with these roles, I am a writer, textile artist, cook, grandmother and keen walker. Thirty five years ago, I was an early entrant to the world of coaching, after earlier careers in teaching, television production and publishing. Typically, my clients are facing a major transition in their lives and find that a coaching perspective is the key to finding solutions that work. As a coach I work with senior clients in the law, medicine, finance, healthcare, performing arts and media along with volunteer roles for severely disadvantaged women. I consider myself to be a leader in a new approach to coaching which combines insights from psychotherapy with the pragmatic emphasis on change that distinguishes the best coaching traditions.I was honoured to win the Henley Business School Award for Outstanding Contribution to Coaching in 2019. My books include Are You Listening? a book of coaching stories published by Penguin Random House in 2021. I have written 9 other books on coaching, including Coaching Skills: the definitive guide to being a coach. A fifth edition, much updated, was published in 2024. My latest book, Fearless Coaching, will be published in 2026 and a book for women in mid-life (title TBD) in early 2027 by Octopus Books.

Dragonheart (1996) was one of the first films to feature a fully CGI character acting alongside real humans. Voiced by Sean Connery and brought to life by ILM, Draco was a groundbreaking creation. Yet despite this technical achievement and four sequels, the movie is rarely discussed today. Angela joins me to explore what stopped Dragonheart from becoming a true classic 30 years later.https://youtu.be/lubpME_YxbUhttps://rumble.com/v7adw5m-does-anyone-remember-dragonheart-hack-the-movies-479.html

In this episode I chat with visual effects supervisor, second unit director and digital pre-visualisation pioneer David Dozoretz about a career that traces the entire arc of how modern filmmaking shifted from analogue to digital — and how, somewhere in the middle of that shift, pre-vis went from a curious side experiment to a fundamental part of how films get planned and shot. David talks about growing up in Phoenix, falling in love with cinema the day his sister snuck him into the projection booth at the Cine Capri during The Empire Strikes Back asteroid sequence, and how a chance encounter with a Lucasfilm coffee-table book in a university bookstore set him on the path to ILM. He arrived at ILM in 1991 as an intern, became known as "the computer nerd in the art department and the art nerd in the computer department," and ended up bridging the gap between the two as digital began to take over.We get into his first feature — the original Jurassic Park — his year-long apprenticeship in the legendary ILM art department alongside Doug Chiang, Ty Ellingson, Harley Jessup, Mark Moore and Stefan Dechant, and the time he had to split a $1,400 piece of 3D software into two $700 purchase orders to get round ILM's general-manager sign-off threshold. It's a small story but it tells you everything about the era — digital tools were arriving faster than the institutions running things knew what to do with them.A big part of the conversation focuses on the early years of digital pre-visualisation. David did the first major digital previs sequence in mainstream cinema — the train and helicopter sequence in Brian De Palma's Mission: Impossible, the work John Knoll asked him to do that's now credited as one of the reasons the sequence got greenlit. From there he went on to spend four years working with George Lucas on The Phantom Menace, building the entire pod race in previs (a 25-minute version that almost no one has ever seen got whittled down to the 9-and-a-half-minute final), establishing his now-famous three rules of previs (no textures, no motion blur, no shadows) and then immediately having to break all three of them to convey the sense of speed and floating in the pod race itself.There are some lovely George Lucas stories too, including the time George walked into the editing room and reacted to David's droid-factory post-vis with "honestly, I was a little worried about that one — looks like it's gonna work," and the moment when George trailed off mid-sentence trying to describe a desert landscape and David — a 21-year-old kid — finished the thought with "John Ford?", which David thinks is the moment Lucas decided he could trust him. Later in the conversation we move into David's own company, Persistence of Vision, and his work on Titan A.E., Behind Enemy Lines, JJ Abrams' Mission: Impossible III, the 2009 Star Trek reboot (including the previs realisation that Vulcan being orange meant the costumes — originally designed to evoke 70s NASA — had to be completely redesigned) and Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, where David served as second unit director on the first digital stereoscopic film and the production was effectively beta-testing the cameras Jim Cameron was building for Avatar. We finish on Zafari, David's 52-episode children's animated series rendered almost entirely in Unreal Engine — one of the earliest large-scale uses of real-time rendering in mainstream animation, which saved 30% of the production budget — and on a wider conversation about AI, the future of filmmaking, the importance of human authenticity, and David's lovely closing thought: study the art and history of cinema, study the drawing, not just the pencil. The tools will keep changing. The language won't.

In the summer of 1998, Hollywood delivered two versions of the apocalypse within eight weeks of each other, and the story of how that happened is almost as dramatic as either film.Deep Impact, directed by Mimi Leder and released on 8th May, had been in development since the late 1970s, tracing its origins to producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown's desire to remake the 1951 sci-fi film When Worlds Collide. The project was ultimately merged with Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's The Hammer of God, before Spielberg, occupied with Amistad, handed the director's chair to Leder.What emerged was a deliberately restrained disaster film, one less interested in the mechanics of impact than in the texture of grief: how ordinary people, politicians, astronauts, and estranged families face the end with or without dignity. With scientific consultants including comet co-discoverers Carolyn and Gene Shoemaker, and ILM's groundbreaking digital tsunami, the film earned genuine respect from the astronomical community and grossed a respectable $349 million worldwide on an $80 million budget.Armageddon, released on 1st July under Disney's Touchstone Pictures banner, was a different creature entirely, and was, by most accounts, a direct competitive response to Deep Impact.Michael Bay's film was shot in just sixteen weeks, with unprecedented government and military access, under enormous studio pressure. Where Deep Impact depicted skilled astronomers, Armageddon hired oil drillers and sent them to space. Where Leder's film earned praise for plausibility, Bay's is famously scientifically inaccurate in many ways. Despite this, Armageddon grossed $553 million worldwide, topped the year's global box office, eventually received a Criterion Collection release and four Oscar nominations. Deep Impact did not.Both hinge on sacrifice, on families torn apart by cosmic indifference, on the question of who gets saved and who doesn't. Both were shaped by real cosmic events, which shook the scientific community and governments into action and Hollywood into a race to dramatise the unthinkable. One film aimed for the gut; the other aimed for the conscience.That Armageddon won commercially while Deep Impact won critically, and that Mimi Leder's career faltered, while Michael Bay built a franchise empire, tells you not just about the summer of 1998, but about which kinds of spectacle Hollywood, and audiences, are willing to reward.Everything wrong with Armageddon – Everyday Science StuffSupport Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

2025. gadā būtiski pieaudzis dronu lietošanas noteikumu pārkāpumu skaits. Ko drīkst un ko nedrīks darīt ar šādiem lidaparātiem? Kādi ir ierobežojumi privātās teritorijās un citviet? Un kur apgūt dronu vadīšanas prasmes? Raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot skaidro valsts aģentūras "Civilās aviācijas aģentūra" Bezpilota gaisa kuģu lidojumu drošuma nodaļas vadītājs Ilmārs Ozols,  pretgaisa aizsardz ības un bezpilota lidaparātu specialists, Dronu kompetences centra vadītājs Modris Kairišs un Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Būvniecības un mašīnzinību fakultātes prodekāns inovāciju jomā Ivo Vaicis. Dronu pielietojums ir plašs un kļūs arvien plašāks. Eiropas Savienībā dronu izmantošanai ir vienots regulējums. Atkarībā no tā, kāds ir drons un kurā vietā vēlas veikt lidojumu, atšķiras arī prasības, kas uz to attiecas. Vismazāk prasību attiecas uz droniem, kuru svars ir mazāks par 250 gramiem. Tomēr šobrīd tā ir kategorija, kur tīri statistiski ir visvairāk pārkāpumu fiksēti, jo šķiet, ka tā ir rotaļlieta, uz kuru nekādi ierobežojumi neattiecas.  Vispirms ir jāreģistrē drona lietotājs, drons ir jāmarķē ar reģistrācijas procesā iegūto numuru, lai tas būtu identificējams, ja kaut kas notiek. Atkarībā no tā, kur veic lidojumus, ir jāskatās, vai ir kādas īpašas zonas, kur tie ir iepriekš jāpiesaka vai jāsaskaņo. Tāpat viena no pamatprasībām, kas ir jāievēro, ir atļautais lidojuma augstums. Tie ir ne augstāk kā 120 metru. Ir vēl arī citi ierobežojumi. Atsaucoties uz pēdējā laika notikumiem, kad Latgales pusē pierobežā bija vairāki ar droniem saistīti incidenti, eksperti skaidro, ja cilvēki redz, ka ir nokritis diezgan paliels drons, kas jau vizuāli līdzinās savā ziņā mazai lidmašīnītei, noteikti jāziņo 112, arī vietējam varas iestādēm. Šādam dronam noteikti nevajag iet klāt, jo tur var būt sprāgstošā sadaļa, kas var eksplodēt nezināmā laika periodā pēc avārijas. Arī gadījumos, ja redz pierobežā gaisā lidojot lielāka izmēra dronus, noteikti var ziņot 112. Var arī pārliecināties internetā, vai ir lidošanai rezervēta attiecīgā gaisa telpa un tas ir draudzīgs drons, jo arī Latvijas robežsargi izmanto dronus robežas novērošanai. Katrā ziņā labāk ir lieku reizi paziņot atbildīgajiem dienestiem, nekā atturēties. 

Am 16. und 17. Mai feiern 4.000 Nachwuchs-Trachtler in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm ein großes Landesjugendtrachtenfest. Über die Vorbereitungen und das Fest spricht Markus Tremmel mit Armin Schmid, dem Ersten Landesjugendvertreter der bayerischen Trachtenjugend und Viktoria Zäch.

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF MAY THE 4TH (A.K.A. EVERYTHING STAR WARS RELATED):   We start off the mixture of film history, nostalgia and visionaries with a blunt yet heartfelt George Lucas chat while also overviewing the many projects of his groundbreaking ILM visual effects company.   We don't mix words nor hold back but it's an overall salute to one of the most independent filmmakers who's struggled yet managed to find relevancy each era. We get to talk about how music has changed in his epic movies compared to how today's comedy/epic music is utilized.   Plus, Cam also shares some inspiration that he implemented using Lucas' method at this tempermental film school while Tom shares a wild film studies college he attended as well!       INTERVIEW CLIPS USED:  Roger Ebert 1999 Interview with George Lucas Star Wars Episode I: All I Need Is An Idea Webisode

The League goes Trekking Through Trek again as they tackle Star Trek: First Contact. The crew of the Enterprise D travel back in time to battle the Borg for the fate of humanity. They also have to convince a drunken buffoon to fly a spaceship so aliens will spot him, and Captain Picard has to stave off obsession. All that, plus Data gets some!This week Matt, Clay, and John dive deep into the 1996 blockbuster Star Trek: First Contact — widely considered the best Next Generation film and one of the greatest Star Trek movies ever made. Directed by Jonathan "Two Takes" Frakes (who plays Commander Riker), this 30th anniversary classic pits the Enterprise-E crew against the relentless Borg Collective in a race through time back to April 4, 2063 — First Contact Day itself.We break down Picard's Ahab-level obsession with the Borg, the introduction of the terrifying yet oddly seductive Borg Queen, Data's very special encounter with her, and whether Zefram Cochran is the most reluctant hero in sci-fi history. We also get into the Rotten Tomatoes rankings across all Star Trek films, Jonathan Frakes' legendary "Two Takes" directing style, the practical model work by ILM on the Enterprise-E, and why the line "You're astronauts on some kind of Star Trek" might be the best/worst line in franchise history.Whether you're a lifelong Trekkie or just Trekking Through Trek for the first time, this is the episode for you.STAY CONNECTED!LISTEN & WATCH Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1crlHvsmYIRn4zjSdq44qn?si=5ee27c125ad54b70 The League on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@leagueofordinarygentlemenOFFICIAL SITES https://www.leaguepodcast.com http://vampcouncil.comTHE LEAGUE ON SOCIAL Facebook: https://facebook.com/leaguepodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leaguepodcast Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/leaguepodcast.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@leaguepodcastCLAY & DURSIN Dursin on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dursin Dursin's Substack: https://dursin.substack.com Clay on IG: https://www.instagram.com/claynferno Clay's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@claynferno Clay's Substack: https://claynferno.substack.com

Star Trek IV – The Voyage Home, Teil 15: Ein Hubschrauber schwebt über dem Park, Scotty taucht halb aus dem Nichts auf, Gillian Taylor rennt gegen ein getarntes Raumschiff – und schreit sich anschließend einfach durch den Beamvorgang hindurch. Alles völlig normal. Klar. In dieser Folge sprechen wir über die berühmte Parkszene aus Star Trek IV und darüber, wie sie 1986 wahrscheinlich gedreht wurde: also nicht mit heutiger Komfort-CGI, sondern sehr wahrscheinlich mit klassischer optischer Tricktechnik, Bluescreen, Matte-Arbeit und ILM-Zauberei aus der photochemischen Ära. Wir schauen dazu auf ein spannendes Interview mit Kameramann Don Peterman bei der American Society of Cinematographers. Außerdem: – Warum Gillians durchgehender Schrei beim Beamen physikalisch erstaunlich plausibel ist – Warum Beamen trotzdem energetisch kompletter Irrsinn bleibt – Was Metin Tolan dazu sagt – Warum Kirk Gillian „Alice“ nennt – Welche Rolle Alice im Wunderland sonst noch in Star Trek spielt – Warum die Aussage, die Wale seien schon in Alaska, zoologisch eher unter Fantasy fällt – Und was es mit dem Mission District in San Francisco wirklich auf sich hat Mit anderen Worten: Wir reden über Filmtricks, Physik, Lewis Carroll, Buckelwale, Kolonialgeschichte, Murals und ein Krankenhausproblem namens Chekov. Also über genau die Dinge, die man von einem entspannten Star-Trek-Abend erwartet. #StarTrek #StarTrekIV #TheVoyageHome #DiscoveryPanel #Kirk #Spock #Scotty #GillianTaylor #Chekov #Sulu #Uhura #ILM #DonPeterman #Beamen #Transporter #Buckelwale #MissionDistrict #SanFrancisco #StarTrekPodcast

In this video, he shares the full story - and proves how far he's come with an interview conducted entirely in Mandarin.When Lewys first started learning Chinese, he did everything "right": regular lessons, HSK study, consistent practice. But every time he stepped outside the classroom, nobody could understand him. It all came to a head during what he calls the most awkward car journey of his life - picking his mother-in-law up from the airport and being met with blank stares. She couldn't understand Lewys, who lives in the UK, was busy a senior job and a young daughter. He was on the verge of quitting when he discovered I'm Learning Mandarin founder Mischa who learned Mandarin while living in the UK - and crucially, recordings of how Mischa used to sound before he used effective methods (see blogpost link above). That's when everything changed.Lewys joined the ILM coaching programme and identified two critical mistakes he'd been making:Learning content that had nothing to do with his real lifeNeglecting native pronunciation and tonesOn the programme, Lewys was supported to build his Personalised Immersion Learning System — a four-step method:

Brīnumains izgudrojums, kas vieglāks par gaisu un kam tika paredzēts nākotne pārvadāt pasažierus pāri okeānam. Dirižabļi aviācijas nozarei kalpoja gan par tehnoloģisku sasniegumu, gan rūgtu mācībstundu. Kā sākās un beidzās dirižabļu laikmets pasaulē? Par to runājam ar Rīgas Aeronavigācijas institūta direktoru Ilmāru Blumbergu un Latvijas Kara muzeja Ieroču un militārās tehnikas nodaļas vadītāju Daini Poziņu. Piedāvājam arī nelielu pārskatu par Latvijas nacionālas aviācijas attīstību – dažus pieturpunktus, jo, lai arī runa ir par īsu laika posmu, sākot no atsevišķiem interesentiem un viņu konstruētajiem aparātiem 20. gs. 20. gados līdz  rūpnīcai VEF, kur lidmašīnu būve beidzās 1942. gadā, vienā raidījumā visu mūsu aviobūves vēsturi nevar ietilpināt.  Runājot par vienotu aviācijas būvi Latvijas Republikā, flagmanis bija rūpnīca VEF, kur no 1935. līdz 1942. gadam tika izgatavotas 33 dažādu tipu lidmašīnas. Protams, nacionālā lidmašīnu būve mums saistās ar konstruktora Kārļa Irbīša vārdu, bet bez viņa ir jāmin vēl vesela rinda aviācijas būves speciālistu: Kārlis Švarcbahs, Kārlis Jansons, lidotājs un konstruktors Kārlis Bandenieks, galdnieks Žanis Knauke, metālists Kārlis Ozoliņš, metinātājs Feldmanis un citi. Pagājušā  gadsimta 20. gados parādās vairāki lidmašīnu konstruktori, kas intereses un prieka pēc sāk nodarboties ar  gaisa kuģu būvi, Talsos dzimušais avio konstruktors un lidotājs Nikolajs Pūliņš, zināmais lidotājs Herberts Cukurs un dedzīgais Kārlis Irbītis, kuru jau no zēnības ir aizrāvušas lidmašīnas. 1932. gadā Irbītis strādā jaunizveidotajā Valsts elektrotehniskajā fabrikā mehānikas nodaļā. Un par to, kā Irbīša idejas tika ieviestas VEF, stāsta VEF muzeja krājuma glabātāja Dace Kaprāne. Atgriežoties pie VEF pirmajiem lidmodeļiem un to tapšanu, kā savās atmiņas atceras Kārlis Irbītis, mūsu lidotājs Bandenieks jeb, kā mēs viņu saucām, «Bandiņš» kā sadedzis gribēja tūliņ sākt lidmašīnu mēģināt. „Atļāvu Bandiņam tomēr mazliet «pavīlēt» pa aerodromu. Viņš tad arī ar jauno lidmašīnu paskraidīja pa aerodromu, bet nenocietās un mazliet atrāva lidmašīnas riteņus no zemes. Atpakaļ pieskaršanās, par nelaimi, notika sagāztā stāvoklī uz vienu skrietuli, un tā tika ielocīta uz iekšu.” Citāta beigas. Protams – kad lidmašīna bija pilnībā izgājusi testu un atzīta par labu esam, tad arī lidojumi notika bez aizķeršanās. Mūsu lidaparāti devās arī pāri Latvijas robežām, lidmašīnas piedalās dažādās sacensībās Francijā un Anglijā, starptautiskā aviācijas izstādē Cīrihē. Bet, lai arī VEF īsais avioperiods izklausās kā veiksmes stāsts, tomēr tajā ir arī viena melna lappuse. Lidmašīnu būvi VEF uzsāka 1935. gadā un līdz 1942. gadam izgatavoja 33 dažādu tipu lidmašīnas. Kā saprotams, 1940. gadā rūpnīcas teritorijā saimnieko padomju iebrucēji un pēc tam turpmākos divus gadus te vēl gatavo lidaparātus vācu armijas vajadzībām.  

Episode 147: John DuncanIn this episode, I'm joined by model maker John Duncan, whose career spans nearly fifteen years at Industrial Light & Magic and includes work across Star Wars, Star Trek, Galaxy Quest, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Matrix and more.John talks about his early fascination with building miniatures as a kid, making models out of paper and cardboard, and how that instinct to just try things eventually led him into the film industry. What started as architectural model work and a stint in television quickly turned into a career at ILM, beginning in 1993, where he arrived for what was meant to be a two-week job and stayed for over a decade .We get into the realities of model making for film, learning to build for the camera rather than for close inspection, working under tight deadlines, and letting go of work when it needs to be modified or destroyed for the shot.John also discusses his time as a concept model maker on the Star Wars prequels, working with Doug Chiang to create what he describes as “3D blueprints” for the wider production. These models helped bridge the gap between design, practical builds and digital assets, ensuring consistency across departments.There's plenty here on specific projects too, including building the Enterprise-E for Star Trek: First Contact, working on the ships for Galaxy Quest, and contributing to the large-scale pirate ships in Pirates of the Caribbean. He also shares stories about unusual materials, problem-solving on the fly, and the collaborative nature of the ILM model shop.We also talk about the shift from practical models to digital effects, where miniatures still have a place today, and why physical builds continue to resonate with filmmakers and audiences alike.John is thoughtful, practical, and clearly still passionate about the craft. This is a great insight into a side of filmmaking that often goes unnoticed, but is absolutely fundamental to how these films were made.Topics coveredGrowing up building models and early creative influencesFirst steps into the film industry via architectural modelsJoining ILM in 1993 and working alongside industry legendsBuilding models for camera vs building for displayWorking on Star Trek: First Contact and Galaxy QuestConcept model making on the Star Wars prequelsCollaborating with Doug Chiang and George LucasThe idea of “3D blueprints” in film productionPractical effects vs digital effectsWorking on Pirates of the CaribbeanMaterials, techniques and problem-solving in the model shopReplica prop community and fan researchWhy physical models still matterThis podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

In this episode the Lost Delta's Ron Phelps speaks with Temple of Doom author James Kahn, Official IndyCast Correspondent Mitch Hallock has a Mangold encounter and we have a teaser for IJ in the UK's review of Young Indy in the Secret Service.

ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa teiktais, ka viņš vairs neredz vajadzību nākt palīgā NATO valstīm drošības sajutu nevairo. Notikuši arī jau vairākkārtēji dronu incidenti pie mums un kaimiņvalstīs. Lai gan tie lielākajā daļā gadījumu, cik izdevies pārbaudīt, bija Ukrainas droni, kas sūtīti uzbrukumā Krievijai, tomēr deva iespēju pārbaudīt mūsu aizsardzības spējas un arī civilās aizsardzības sistēmas darbību, saskaroties ar šāda veida apdraudējumu. Jāteic, ka arī starptautiskā situācija raisa jautājumus, jo karš Irānā ietekmējis ne tikai NATO sabiedroto attiecības, bet arī Krievijas iespējas papildināt savu kara budžetu. Pēc visiem pēdējiem notikumiem, kas risinās un pasaulē, cik gatavi esam dažādiem potenciālajiem apdraudējumiem? Krustpunktā diskutē Aizsardzības ministrijas parlamentārā sekretāre Liene Gātere, VUGD priekšnieka vietnieks ģenerālis Jānis Grīnbergs, NATO daudznacionālās divīzijas "Ziemeļi" komandiera vietnieks brigādes ģenerālis Ilmārs Lejiņš un biedrības "Latvijas Platforma attīstības sadarbībai" direktore Inese Vaivare.

In this episode, I sit down with Don Bies – former Lucasfilm archivist and special effects artist at ILM – for a deep dive into his career and his time inside the Star Wars archive. Don takes me right back to his childhood in Chicago, where a viewing of the 1931 Frankenstein sparked a lifelong fascination with makeup effects and filmmaking . From experimenting with homemade prosthetics to building a full-size R2-D2, his early passion eventually led him to California. We talk about his first major break working on The Fly, where he contributed to several effects – many of which ended up on the cutting room floor, but gave him invaluable experience. From there, Don's path into Lucasfilm begins, starting with operating R2-D2 on commercials alongside Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and even George Lucas. That connection ultimately led to him working on the Lucasfilm archives. This is where things get really interesting. Don describes what it was like stepping into a warehouse full of original Star Wars props, models and documents – much of it undocumented and at risk of being lost or discarded . He shares stories of discovering key items like Darth Vader's helmet hidden in a crate, uncovering original manuscripts and audio recordings, and building one of the first digital catalogues of the collection. We also get into:His role in early Lucasfilm exhibitions and the growth of the archiveWorking at Skywalker Ranch and the unique creative environment thereThe transition period between Return of the Jedi and the Special EditionsWearing multiple costumes (including Boba Fett) during the Special Edition shootsThe reality of preserving film history inside a working production companyIt's a brilliant conversation that really captures a moment in time when Star Wars history could easily have been lost – and the people who helped save it.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

Introducing Ilm with AMAU - our five-year, semester-based Islamic Studies programme, developed through years of online teaching and student experience. It is built to take sincere Muslims wanting to study Islam, and guide them into becoming serious, grounded students of knowledge. The programme is shaped by a clear understanding of the challenges online students face: distraction, inconsistency, isolation, and lack of direction. Ilm with AMAU aims to close the gap between online learning and traditional on-site study by restoring clarity, discipline, and purpose to the digital learning space. The journey begins with Semester Zero - a practical foundation focused on mindset, habits, sincerity, and the discipline needed to sustain the path of seeking knowledge before formal study begins. With subjects including Aqeedah, Fiqh, Hadith, Tafseer, Seerah and Tarbiyah, this video offers an inside look into the vision, tone, and methodology of the programme.  If you want a clear sense of what studying with AMAU is like, this is where it starts.

We recorded this one live on #ScarifLive last week and dropping it in here this week. As I discuss movies and fandom in my day to day, I realize that as a kid, I wanted more of what I loved. Star Wars led me down a path of wanting to learn about ILM and Lucasfilm, etc. In turn I found out about Indiana Jones and Willow, Star Trek and countless other science fiction shows and movies because of my love of the genre. But I'm finding out that fans now a days hyper fixate on one aspect of an IP. No one talks about specific directors of special effects artists, etc. It was that curiosity that made me learn the names Ben Burtt, John Dykstra, Marcia Lucas, etc and that yearning never died. I brought a panel on to discuss how they experienced that yearning for more. We touched on how we learned about shows like Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars on TV as Scott put it and more. Are today's fans changing their need to reach out and seek more within the genre of sci fi and fantasy? If you love Darth Vader and don't know who Sebastian Shaw is then THIS might be an episode for you. Thanks for listening. Remember, we are a proud founding member of the RED5Network, and that's the scuttlebutt.

To kick off Caravan Of Garbage in 2026 we've decided to celebrate the release of Star Wars' 49th anniversary. We're talking the original movie as it was first shown in May of 1977 with none of the Special Edition tweaks or even the addition of the title A New Hope which was added four years later. We're looking at the miracle of the movie that started it all, George Lucas' vision brought to life with the music of John Williams, special effects by ILM and the relatively unknown trio of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill.

The Salaf were placed at the forefront of this Ummah - not only in time, but in depth of understanding, precision of speech, and clarity of method.  Their knowledge was not scattered, their words were not excessive, and their approach to the religion was guarded from speculation and unnecessary complexity. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble begins explaining the book Faḍl ʿIlm as-Salaf ʿalā ʿIlm al-Khalaf by Ibn Rajab al-Ḥanbal, laying the groundwork for why the Salaf were recognised as more knowledgeable than those who came after them - and by what measures that superiority is understood. This explanation introduces the central themes of the book: the Salaf's distance from Kalām, their comprehensive yet restrained speech, their exacting relationship with the Arabic language, and the standards by which sound knowledge was historically weighed. If you want to understand the foundations of why the Salaf were treated as the benchmark in matters of understanding - this is the book for you.

Welcome back to the digital wasteland, fellow survivors. We kick things off in the FOLLOW UP by marking a year since the LA Fires—hello, PTSD—alongside a 4th Strokiversary and three years of sobriety, all while wondering why America is currently obsessed with shooting its own civilians in the face.In the IN THE NEWS segment, Wired is finally teaching us how to protest safely in the age of surveillance, and the EFF is cheering on the hackers fighting ICE's Nazi-adjacent tracking tactics. Meanwhile, Meta is harvesting your AI chats for targeted ads, Disney is paying $10 million for spying on kids, and Grok has spent the holidays generating nonconsensual child abuse material—a problem Elon Musk won't have to legally reckon with until the Take It Down Act hits in May. Instagram's Adam Mosseri has basically surrendered to the AI "slop", suggesting we fingerprint "real" media because the fake stuff has already won the war.As we continue the descent, OpenAI is launching a ChatGPT Health portal despite their "loser energy" and compute limits, while Character.AI and Google are quietly settling lawsuits for bots that encouraged teen suicide. Polymarket gamblers are learning that "decentralized" juries will fist you over the definition of an "invasion" just as fast as a bank. Uber showed off a new Lucid-based robotaxi, but we're pumping the brakes on the safety hype given that autonomous vehicles are five times more likely to crash at dusk. To wrap up the news, Tim Cook took home $74 million last year, which is a lot of "systematic philanthropy" he could be doing right now instead of just writing checks to his own ego.In MEDIA CANDY, we're suffering through the Stranger Things wrap-up and a John McTiernan holiday marathon, though the real highlight is MTV Rewind's tribute to music videos. We've got Traitors, The Pitt, and even a John Candy doc on the list, while APPS & DOODADS brings us the DJI Osmo 8, Victrola's turntable-vibrating speakers. At least California's DROP tool lets you purge your data from 500 brokers at once.Finally, we go to THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE to hear Dave Bittner rant about holiday tech support, health insurance gouging, and Dave Filoni taking the Star Wars reins. We close out with a look at ILM's 50th, the deepfake porn cesspool formerly known as Twitter, and a birthday toast to the Starman himself, David Bowie.Sponsors:CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

Join us for a relaxing episode as John and Lacey look back on 2025 and our new Star Wars memories and experiences. From Star Wars Celebration Japan, including our fateful evening with ILM's Rob Coleman, to our invite to Lucasfilm for Andor and our trip to Skywalker Ranch, we were on the move! We also had a great time covering Skeleton Crew on Galactic Goonies with so many great guests including showrunner Christopher Ford and composer Mick Giacchino. And then we had the K-2S Show which brought James back for a guest appearance! It's been a wild ride and another great year for TRB, and we look ahead to 2026 with excitement for more fun Star Wars podcast adventures! Most of all, thank YOU for making our show a part of your life this year, because if you're listening to this, you are part of the Resistance!
