While the hit and run carrier raids of February and March tested American carrier doctrine to an extent, and the Pearl Harbor raid as well as Indian Ocean raids tested Imperial Navy doctrine also to an extent, this is the very first time that both navies tested each other's way of doing things, and in the process found things that worked, and things that well…didn't work. Let's dig into it…Talking Points:• What sets off the battle of Coral Sea?o Outline Japanese plans for Operation MO Japanese wanted to seize Port Moresby and all of New Guinea. By doing this, it would provide Japan with both a way to isolate Australia as well as New Zealand from allied supply lines, specifically American supply lines. • Why Rabaul (Opeation R) wasn't good enough This was to be prefaced by the Japanese capture of Tulagi, which is an island we will hear a lot about in the near future. By capturing Tulagi, in the Solomons, the Japanese could patrol the area and the sea lanes to Port Moresby so as to allow their invasion force a free hand. As part of the Port Moresby invasion attempt, the invasion group was to be covered by two separate carrier groups, one which centered around the light carrier Shoho, and another which centered around the fleet carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku.o US intel at Station HYPO and fleet radio unit Melbourne, or FRUMEL decrypt Japanese messages to an extent, and in turn believe that the Japanese will strike the area of Port Moresby, or the northern coast of Australia on or about the first week of May. As a result of this intel, Nimitz deploys the only two carrier task forces at his disposal at this time, those centered around USS Lexington, and USS Yorktown, TF 11 and TF 17 respectively, to stand by the area of the Coral Sea with designs to intercept and destroy the incoming Japanese invasion and support fleets.• On May 1 the two US CV TFs unite under the command of ADM Fletchero May 4, Fletcher detaches CV5 to attack recent Japanese positions on Tulagi CV5's attacks are relatively successful, with damage inflicted on enemy positions and shipping in and around the harbor of Tulagi• US losses are minimal• By May 6, Fletcher is aware that Japanese CVs are in the area, and the Japanese invasion fleet is not far behind. As a result, he detaches ADM Crace's cruisers WITHOUT air cover to block the invasion force.o This is potentially a critical blunder by Fletcher. Crace's CAs could have been blown out of the water by Japanese CVs, as it was, they were attacked three times by Japanese aircraft and once by MacArthur's B17s. Japanese reports stated that they had sunk a BB, damaged a second BB and a CA. Japanese sent no further attacks towards Crace. His vessels survived due to poor Japanese (and American) accuracy as well as his skillful maneuvering. The sighting of the supposed BBs by the Japanese informed the invasion fleet to reverse course Still a horrible decision by Fletcher• First day of the carrier battle May 7• Early on the morning of the 7th, Japanese launch searches to find US CVso Japanese scout planes from Shokaku find US ships and radio ADM Tagaki of 1 CV, 1 CA, and 3 DD. What the Japanese actually sight is the detached oiler Neosho and her escort DD Sims. • How did the Japanese pilot screw this up this bad?• Japanese arrive over oiler and DD, realize their mistake and continue their search, they return and attack and sink Sims and force Neosho to be abandonned• At 0815 a CV5 SBD piloted by John Nielsen finds the Japanese screening force under ADM Goto, which includes light carrier Shoho. o An error in Nielsen's coding made the message read 2 Japanese CVs instead of 1.• Fletcher loses his mind on Nielsen when he lands and clarifies his message Believing this to be the main Japanese CV force, Fletcher launches everything he has. • 93 aircraft are flung at Shohoo 18 F4Fs, 53 SBDs, 22 TBDs from CV2 and CV5• Lexington Air Group, under Bill Ault arrive over Shoho firsto The SBDs attack first, and score at least 2 bomb hits and the TBDs score 5 torpedo hits This is the only real successful TBD attack of WW2• Lex AG executes a hammer and anvil attack and leave Shoho a wreck Talk about Walt Nelson and Ted Wiebe• Yorktown Air Group arrive next and continue to pummel Shoho.o Estimated 11 bombs and 2 more torpedoeso She is barely afloat as US aircraft leave and is gone by 1135• Lexington VB2 CO, Bob Dixon sent a prearranged radio signal back to Fletcher that simply said, “Scratch One Flattop”• Second day of the carrier battle May 8• Both Japanese and US locate each other almost simultaneouslyo US launch first at 0900, Japanese at 0915 Opposing forces actually pass each other on the way to their targets• US attack Japanese firsto The well-coordinated attack of May 7 gives way to the mess of May 8 US aircraft have trouble finding the targets due to squally weather• When they do find them, they can't coordinate their attacks as the previous day Yorktown aircraft under Bill Burch find and attack Shokaku.• The ship is moving radically but is still hit with 2 1,000 pound bombs which puts her flight deck out of action.• Lex Air Group attacks and half of her SBDs find Shokaku and attack, hitting her once, the other half of the attackers from Lex can't find the ship.• All TBD torpedo attacks by both Air Groups miss their targets or the weapons fail to explode• Japanese attack on US fleet• Enemy is picked up 68 nautical miles away by US radaro Poorly executed fighter direction operations positioned the US CAP too low to intercept the incoming enemy strike.• One of the stranger aspects of Coral Sea is that SBDs were utilized as anti-torpedo plane CAPo The assumption was that the Japanese Kate was as slow and sluggish as the TBD, which was obviously false One of the anti-VT pilots was Swede Vejtasa• Talk about Swede's dogfight against Zuikaku aircraft• Despite the best efforts of the US CAP, the Japanese break througho The Kates attack CV5 and miss, yet a hammer and anvil attack against CV2 succeeds CV2 turned like a whale and could not evade the torpedoes. • She takes two on her port side, one ruptures her avgas tanks, which eventually seal her fateo The Vals attack Lex and hit her twiceo The Vals attack Yorktown and hit her severely damaging her as well• Lexington goes downo Avgas fumes spread throughout the ship, it is thought that a spark from a DC powered motor ignited the fumes which eviscerated the internals of the ship, starting uncontrollable fires. The first major explosion kills Lex's main DC party IF WE HAVE THE TIME, LET'S GO THROUGH LEX'S DEATH• Outcomeo Coral sea is technically a draw Seen as US strategic victory in that it is the first time the Japanese are stopped• Port Moresby is not invaded, and the Japanese expansion, at least for now, is checked Tactical defeat for the US Navy• Losing Lex in exchange for Shoho is not acceptable in any wayo Poor FDO operations stationing CAP too low and out of place contributed to losing Lexo Poor design (prewar design) heavily contributed to Lex's losso Poor US coordination on the morning attack against Shokaku and Zuikaku allowed both to escape the battle Sho and Zui would be unavailable for the Midway operation• Sho due to damage and Zui due to heavy aircrew losseso What lessons do we learn regarding future operations?
Tomás Saraceno har som få andre sat luften, vi indånder, og jorden, vi står på, i forgrunden. Med 'The Aerocene Project' og den aktuelle udstilling 'Event Horizon' sætter Saraceno en ny ramme for vores forståelse af både atmosfæren og undergrunden – som elementer, der frem for at være genstand for forurening og ressourceudvinding kan sættes fri gennem kunsten. For i kunsten kan der skabes alternativer: Vi kan bo, bevæge os og i det hele leve på måder, der ikke udpiner jorden under os og luften over os og det er visionerne for en verden i tættere berøring med naturens processer, som driver værket og viser sig i Saracenos kunstneriske praksis. For Saraceno er samarbejde med alt fra forskere til oprindelige folk og edderkoppespind nøglen til en vej ud af verdens biodiversitets- og klimakrise, og i mange år har samarbejdernes tætte kontakt til hans omverden flyttet grænserne for hans kunst. Af Saracenos impuls til samarbejde opstod i 2015 organisationen ‘the Aerocene Foundation' – et internationalt kunstnerfællesskab, som arbejder på at sænke karbonniveauet i luften og på at danne grobund for en mere etisk sameksistens mellem natur, mennesker og atmosfære.
I denne podcast har vi besøg af Nobelpristager Ole John Nielsen, som er forsker i atmosfærisk kemi og miljøkemi på H.C. Ørsted Instituttet. Ole John fortæller om, hvad det vil sige at have det bedste job i verden, og om hvorfor miljøkemi er et vigtigt emne at beskæftige sig med.Fremtidens udfordringer kan løses med de rette teknologier, og vi skal fortsat have fokus på bæredygtighed. Ole John fortæller, hvordan kemi er en central videnskab i netop dette emne – kemi er i alt, og man kan gøre alt med kemi. Hør også om Ole Johns opfordring til at arbejde forskningsbaseret, og vær opmærksom på hans venlige invitation.
This episode focuses on a smorgasbord of song meanings that don't mean what you thought they meant. A few of the songs we dive into include Semi-Charmed Life, Closing Time, 99 Red Balloons, Summer of '69, and Total Eclipse of the Heart. John Nielsen covers two songs during the episode.@ 36:33--James Taylor - You Can Close Your Eyes@ 1:11:25 -- John Mayer - Victoria
1. februar 2022 er det præcis et år siden, at Myanmars militær gennemførte et kup og tog magten i landet. Dermed endte små ti års demokratisk styre under ledelse af det tidligere frihedsikon og vinder af Nobels fredspris Aung San Suu Kyi. Militæret havde tydeligvis regnet med, at magtovertagelsen ville blive hurtig og ukompliceret. Sådan er det ikke gået. Et år efter kuppet befinder Myanmar sig i en dyb konflikt, der har revet landet fra hinanden politisk, økonomisk og socialt. Hvordan er det kommet så vidt? Hvorfor kuppede militæret magten, når de selv havde givet i hvert fald dele af den fra sig 10 år tidligere? Vil Myanmars voksende modstandsbevægelse kunne besejre hæren? Og findes der en fredelig vej tilbage til et demokratisk Myanmar? Det ser vi nærmere på i denne første del af en dobbeltudgave sammen med senioranalytiker John Nielsen, der var Danmarks ambassadør i Myanmar indtil for et år siden og seniorforsker Helene Maria Kyed, der har forsket indgående i Myanmar og blandt andet er hovedforfatter på en stor undersøgelse om soldater, der deserterer fra Myanmars militær og i stedet slutter sig til modstandsbevægelsen. I denne første halvdel skitserer vi baggrunden for kuppet, ser nærmere på militærets enorme magt i Myanmar, zoomer ind på de soldater der flygter fra hæren og kaster et blik på Myanmars ikoniske, nu forhenværende, statsleder Aung San Suu Kyi og hendes fald fra tinderne – i hvert fald i vestens øjne. I anden halvdel, der allerede ligger klar i dit podcast-feed, går vi direkte til status på situationen i Myanmar her og nu og ser blandt andet nærmere på det internationale samfunds passivitet og hvad vejen frem er for Myanmar.
Et år efter kuppet befinder Myanmar sig i en dyb konflikt, der har revet landet fra hinanden politisk, økonomisk og socialt. Lokale borgerkrige har udviklet sig over store dele af Myanmar, og millioner af burmesere er på vej tilbage i absolut fattigdom. Myanmar ligner mere og mere en fejlslagen stat, og imens ser det internationale samfund i vid udstrækning passivt til. Vil Myanmars voksende modstandsbevægelse kunne besejre hæren? Og findes der en fredelig vej tilbage til et demokratisk Myanmar? Det ser vi nærmere på i denne anden af to podcasts om kuppet og krisen i Myanmar. Med os er senioranalytiker John Nielsen, der var Danmarks ambassadør i Myanmar indtil for et år siden, og seniorforsker Helene Maria Kyed, der har forsket indgående i Myanmar og blandt andet er hovedforfatter til en stor undersøgelse om soldater, der deserterer fra Myanmars militær og i stedet slutter sig til modstandsbevægelsen.
There are an abundance of things that drive us a little mad during our mundane days. Opening packaging that takes an engineering degree, bathroom stalls with gaps in the doors and seeing undesirable pants around the shoes of someone you don't know, and maybe thinking back on how ridiculous it was that Colgate made frozen dinners.

Hele otte instanser skal enes om at bekæmpe matchfixing i Danmark, men blandt dem er der både uenighed om problemets størrelse og frustration over, at der ikke rigtig sker noget. To af dem, der har forskellige opfattelser, er med i Sportsugen til at tage debatten. Det kan du høre sidst i programmet. Men inden da skal vi høre, hvorfor en lang række danske fodboldklubber nu pludselig støtter op om Amnestys kritik af VM-værterne Qatar. Vi skal også have en snak med skakverdensmesteren Magnus Carlsens træner, der fortæller om det netop overståede VM, hvordan Carlsen og co. fejrede sejren - og hvorfor Calrsen har meldt ud om en mulig VM-pension. Du får også perspektiver og nyt på historie fra Formel 1, NBA og håndbold-VM. Vært: Claus Elgaard.

Som du sikkert bemærkede i den seneste episode fra Fivelements Retreat Bali, så er direktøren John Nielsen en mand, der taler ufatteligt godt engelsk. Men han kan altså også godt tale dansk. Faktisk et ret pænt dansk. Lidt som man talte for 35-40 år siden. Og det er der en årsag til. Han har nemlig ikke boet meget i Danmark siden starten af 80’erne. Her er John Nielsens historie om, hvordan han kom ud af en filmfamilie og via nogle år som Spies guide og meget andet landede her… som hoteldirektør på Bali. Lyt til episoden og start med at drømme om, hvordan du kunne gøre det samme. Dette var et lille afbræk i kronologien her i Radiovagabond. Der kommer mere fra Bali senere… jeg var der i et par måneder omkring jul og nytår lige inden pandemien brød ud. Men i den kommende sæson (der starter om et par dage) tager jeg dig med til Nordamerika. Vi starter i Boston og det glæder jeg mig rigtig meget til. Mit navn er Palle Bo, og jeg skal videre. Vi ses.
SELAMAT DATANG DI BALI Before the next season of The Radio Vagabond, I'm going to give you an episode from a unique luxurious place. This episode was recorded in January 2020. I've kept it on the shelf because of the Covid-Pandemic, but now with the vaccine on the way, I feel it's time to give you some inspiration for a super special vacation in Bali. I MET JOHN IN LONDON A few months earlier, in November 2019 I was at the World Travel Market (WTM) in London. This is a huge travel fair where the world's destinations, hotels, airlines, and anyone else working in the travel industry show what they are doing and make deals. I was there walking around with a press badge with my name on it, and when I came to the Indonesia stand a guy behind a table started speaking Danish to me. I have a very Danish name, and he guessed that I was a fellow countryman. John Nielsen is his name, and he is the manager of Fivelements Retreat in Bali. I told him that I would be in Bali a few months later, and he told me to get in touch and we could organize a visit. He showed me a brochure and a few videos of the place on his smartphone and it looked very idyllic and beautiful and I just had to accept his offer. So, fast forward a few months and I see him again. At the resort in Bali. ECO-CONSCIOUS WELLNESS Retreat Nestled on the banks of the Ayung River in the center of Bali, Fivelements Retreat Bali is a multi-award-winning eco-conscious Wellness Retreat. It's deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of Bali, and that's a part of why it's a peaceful sanctuary to embrace authentic Balinese Healing, Plant-based Cuisine, and Sacred Arts. They opened in 2010 as the company's flagship wellness destination bridging the wisdom of traditional healing cultures with innovative wellness concepts. Getting to the place, I was driving through a small authentic village with narrow streets and tiny (not so fancy) houses. So that made the contrast to what I was faced with inside the Retreat even greater. I know I say this a lot in the podcast, but this time it's even more important that you take a look at the blog post for this episode. I will try to explain what I see as best I can, but on theradiovagabond.com you can see both pictures and videos. It is truly amazing what I'm about to experience for the next few days. At the reception, I meet the manager John Nielsen again. He takes me for a walk around the resort. JUNGLE-LIKE FEELING Fivelements Retreat is in a very green area with small, curved pathways leading through the area with a lot of grass-roofed huts and houses. I hear the soothing sound of the river running through the area, the birds in the jungle-like forest, and occasionally the sound of a bell and a crackling fire – where people are meditating, mindfulness, or having a traditional fire ceremony. SACRED SPACE Right next to the fireplace, is what they call The Sacred Space. It was actually their plan to build the reception right here but then they discovered – almost by coincidence that there was something weird going on at this place. The rocks get warm even on a cloudy day, metal has seen to be spinning on a rock and some people will feel a sensation when meditating here. PLANT-BASED RESTAURANT We move on down a small pathway. On our left hand is their award-winning Sakti Dining Room – based on a farm-to-table philosophy. Here they serve a plant-based menu that's prepared with love, passion, and attention to detail. The menu is designed to give optimal plant-based nutrition and high energy and at the same time inspiring a gastronomical journey aimed to nurture body, mind, and soul. The food was phenomenal. I'm not a vegetarian, but I must say I did not miss the meat. Not only does it taste good – it also looks fantastic. A thing to experience is the Signature Chef's Specialty Tasting Menus. See pictures of some of the things I had here on theradiovagabond.com. IN THE GARDEN WITH TWO CHEFS This cooking process starts with sourcing the finest local ingredients at the height of the growing season. They support local farmers, sustainable agriculture, and environmentally friendly products. But they also have a small garden themselves, and as I was walking through the area with John, I got to meet the talented Balinese chef, Sr. Sous Chef, Made Tantra. As I'm standing there chatting with the passionate chef for this episode, John interrupts us, to introduce me to another chef: His good friend Brad French who is a renowned chef and cuisine lecturer from Le Cordon Bleu in Australia. Brad is not here to cook, only to relax, have a few massage treatments, get some inspiration from the local food here – and visit his old friend John, and see what he's up to here in Bali since he worked with him in Australia. THE HISTORY OF FIVELEMENTS They started out with nine Eco-Luxury Sleeping Suites. Independent villas along Bali's sacred Ayung River. These suites feature lofty, grass-roofed ceilings, breezy interiors, and recycled timber flooring. Each suite features both an indoor and an outdoor bathroom with an open-air rain shower. And a private riverside bathtub, hand-carved from a single stone. Just at the time of my visit they were finishing 11 more Sleeping Suites, so they now have 20 in total. In fact, I was the first to sleep in my suite. Also, still they were working on the biggest of them all – their “Signature Suite”. But even before that, they had guests complaining – or just mentioning the construction noise. But that wasn't what it was. It was actually the sounds of the Gecko and the other animals of the jungle. MY FIRST YOGA CLASS They offer a number of treatments at Fivelements one of them being complementary yoga every morning, and I decided to do that. Even though this was my first yoga class, I really enjoyed it. After the class, I had a chat with the yoga instructor. In the episode, you can hear her tell the story of how she was able to put out a fire – because of her being in such good shape. The yoga place almost looks like a spaceship. It's a round tipi-like room with a hole in the top of the grass roof (or rather “alang-alang” the bi-product from rice production). And with the 26 meters, it's very high. INSTAGRAMABLE As I'm walking around with John, I'm carrying a microphone, trying to record what he's saying … and at the same time wanting to take pictures everywhere. It is very “Instagramable”. We also took a walk in the original part of the Retreat. As mentioned, they started with nine eco-luxury Sleeping Suites set along the river. These suites also feature lofty, alang-alang-roofed ceilings. WELLNESS TREATMENTS On our way to the big pool, we pass a smaller pool where they do a very unique ‘Water Healing Treatment', also known as Watsu. The water healing therapist glides you gracefully through the water and applies artful stretches and luxurious massage assisted by the water. I didn't try it, but it sounds amazing. It should be profoundly relaxing and nurturing, as this therapy recalls the safety, timelessness, and peacefulness of the womb. I ended my stay sitting in an outdoor bathtub filled with fruits and vegetables overlooking the river after a wonderful massage. It couldn't have been more idyllic. OPEN NOW They are open now, so if you are in Bali – or you are able to get to the island when the borders are open after the Pandemic, you should treat yourself and your significant other to a stay there. The rates are probably a bit lower right now (because of COVID), but I just made a quick search and found that a stay at Fivelements Bali Retreat will set you back around 110 USD/91 EUR for a room for two people per night – including breakfast. That's surprisingly low for all that luxury. And that's if you book directly on FivelementsBali.com. If you go through The Radio Vagabond's normal sponsor, Hotels25.com, you can actually save around 15%. NEXT STOP NEW ENGLAND In a few days, we start the next season, and we're heading back to North America. I'll take you on a road trip through the six states of New England, then a bit in Canada, upstate New York, Texas, Mexico, and Florida. But we start in Boston this coming Wednesday. My name is Palle Bo and I gotta keep moving. See you. EPISODE-LINK: theradiovagabond.com/184-fivelements-bali DISCLAIMER I was invited to stay there for a few days because of this podcast – and in the hope that I might inspire you guys to visit them. But as previously when I do those trips and visits like this, I'm not obligated to say anything I don't mean. Everything I say is my own genuine opinion. I'm basically just describing my visit.
SELAMAT DATANG DI BALI Før den næste sæson af Radiovagabond vil jeg give dig en episode fra et unikt luksuriøst sted. Denne episode blev optaget i januar 2020, men jeg har haft den liggende på hylden på grund af Covid-pandemien, men nu hvor vaccinen er på vej, føler jeg, at det er tid til at give dig lidt inspiration til en super speciel ferie på Bali. JEG MØDTE JOHN I LONDON Et par måneder tidligere, i november 2019, var jeg på World Travel Market (WTM) i London. Dette er en enorm rejsemesse, hvor alverdens destinationer, hoteller, flyselskaber og andre, der arbejder i rejsebranchen, viser hvad de laver og indgår handler. Jeg gik rundt med et pressebadge med mit navn på, og da jeg kom til Indonesiens stand, stod en fyr bag et bord. Da han så mit navn sagde han ”dav”. Jeg har jo et meget dansk navn, og han gættede, at jeg var en landsmand. John Nielsen er hans navn, og han er direktør på Fivelements Retreat på Bali. Da jeg fortalte ham, at jeg skulle til Bali et par måneder senere, tilbød han mig at bo der et par dage. Og efter at han viste mig en brochure og et par videoer af stedet, var jeg ikke langsom til at takke ja. MILJØ-BEVIDST WELLNESS-RETREAT Fivelements Retreat Bali er et prisvindende miljøbevidst wellness-retreat, der ligger idyllisk ved bredden af Ayung-floden i midten af Bali. Det er dybt forankret i de gamle balinesiske traditioner, med autentisk balinesisk healing, hellig kunst og et plantebaseret køkken. De åbnede i 2010 som virksomhedens flagskib. Et sted, der bygger bro mellem traditionelle healingskulturers visdom og innovative wellness-koncepter. Da jeg kom til stedet, kørte jeg gennem en lille autentisk landsby med smalle gader og små huse. Så derfor var kontrasten til det, jeg mødte inden, endnu større. Jeg ved, at jeg siger det ofte, men denne gang er det endnu vigtigere, at du kigger på blogindlægget til denne episode og ser både billeder og videoer på Radiovagabond.dk. Det er virkelig smukt og helt specielt, hvad jeg er ved at opleve i de næste par dage. I receptionen møder jeg John igen, og han tager mig på en tur rundt i området. JUNGLE-FORNEMMELSE Fivelements Retreat ligger midt i et meget grønt område med små, snoede stier, der fører gennem området til hytter med stråtag. Man hører den rislende lyd fra floden, der løber gennem området, fuglene i den jungle-lignende skov og indimellem en lille klokke og en knitrende ild. Det sidste kommer fra et sted, hvor gæster mediterer eller deltager i en traditionel bål-ceremoni. SACRED SPACE Lige ved siden af bålstedet er det, de kalder The Sacred Space. Det var faktisk deres plan at bygge receptionen lige her, men så opdagede de nærmest ved et tilfælde, at der skete nogle underlige ting på dette sted. Sten, der ligger i en cirkel omkring stedet, bliver varme – selv på en overskyet dag, man har set metal dreje på en sten, og visse mennesker får en speciel følelse, når de mediterer her. PLANTEBASERET RESTAURANT Vi går videre ned ad en lille sti, og på vores venstre side ligger deres prisvindende restaurant, de kalder Sakti Dining Room. Her serverer de en plantebaseret menu, der (som de siger) er tilberedt med kærlighed, lidenskab og stor opmærksomhed på detaljer. Tanken med menuen er at give optimal plantebaseret ernæring og samtidig inspirere til en gastronomisk rejse med det formål at pleje krop, sind og sjæl. Maden var fænomenal og selvom jeg er ikke vegetar, savnede jeg ikke kød. Ikke kun smager det godt - det ser også fantastisk ud. En ting, jeg kan anbefale at opleve er ”Signature Chef’s Specialty Tasting Menus”. Se billeder af nogle af de ting, jeg havde her på radiovagabond.dk. I HAVEN MED TO KOKKE Madlavningen starter med at indkøbe de fineste lokale ingredienser på højden af vækstsæsonen. De støtter lokale landmænd, bæredygtigt landbrug og bruger udelukkende miljøvenlige produkter. Men de har også deres egen lille have, og her møder jeg deres talentfulde balinesiske kok, Made Tantra. Mens jeg står der og snakker med ham til denne episode, afbryder John os for at introducere mig til endnu en kok: Hans gode ven Brad French, der er en berømt kok og kokkelærer fra Le Cordon Bleu i Australien. Han er ikke her for at lave mad, men for at slappe af, få et par massagebehandlinger og tage lidt mad-inspiration med hjem. Og naturligvis besøg sin gamle ven og kollega, John – og se, hvad han bedriver her på Bali. FIVELEMENTS HISTORIE De startede med ni ”Eco-Luxury Sleeping Suites”. Enkeltstående villaer langs Balis hellige Ayung-flod. Disse suiter har høje lofter med stråtag, elegant interiør og smukke trægulve. Hver suite har både et indendørs og et udendørs badeværelse med regnbruser udendørs og et privat badekar håndskåret i en enkelt sten ved flodbredden. Mens jeg var der, var de ved at færdiggøre 11 nye suiter, så de nu har 20 i alt – faktisk var jeg den allerførste til at sove i min suite. De arbejdede de også stadig på deres største villa, deres såkaldte “Signature Suite”. Men selv inden byggerierne havde de gæster, der kommenterede byggestøj. Men det var ikke, hvad det var. Det de hørte var lyden af gecko’erne og de andre dyr i junglen. MIN FØRSTE YOGA-TIME De tilbyder en række behandlinger på Fivelements, hvoraf den ene er gratis yoga hver morgen. Selvom dette var min første yogatime besluttede jeg at gøre det – nød jeg det virkelig. Efter timen fik jeg en snak med læreren om fordelene ved at dyrke yoga. I episoden kan du blandt andet høre hende fortælle om, hvordan hun var i stand til at slukke en brand, fordi hun er i træning. Selve Yoga-stedet ligner nærmest en rumraket – 26 meter højt med stråtag (eller rettere "alang-alang" som er et biprodukt fra risproduktion). Det er et rundt tipi-lignende rum med et hul i toppen. INSTAGRAM-VENLIGT Mens jeg går rundt med John, har jeg en mikrofon i hånden for at optage, hvad han siger ... men samtidig har jeg også lyst til at tage billeder hele tiden. Det er meget "Instagram-venligt". Vi tog også en tur i den oprindelige del af Fivelements. Som nævnt startede de med ni suiter langs floden. Disse suiter har høje lofter, også fremstillet af alang-alang. WELLNESS-BEHANDLINGER På vej til den store pool passerer vi en mindre pool, hvor de laver en meget unik vandhealings-behandling, også kendt som Watsu. En vandhealings-terapeut bevæger dig yndefuldt gennem vandet og giver dig en luksuriøs massage assisteret af vandet i poolen. Jeg prøvede det ikke, men det lyder fantastisk. Det siges at være meget afslappende, da denne terapi minder om livmodens sikkerhed, tidløshed og fred. Jeg sluttede mit ophold i et udendørs badekar fyldt med frugt og grøntsager med udsigt over floden efter en vidunderlig massage. Det kunne ikke have været mere idyllisk. DE ER ÅBNE NU De er åbne for gæster, så hvis du er på Bali – eller hvis du er i stand til at komme til øen, når grænserne åbner efter pandemien, bør du overveje forkæle dig selv og din bedre halvdel med et ophold der. Priserne er måske lidt lavere lige nu (på grund af COVID), men da jeg jeg foretog en hurtig søgning kunne jeg se, at et ophold på Fivelements Bali Retreat kun koster omkring 676 kr. I en suite med to personer pr. nat - inklusive morgenmad. Det er overraskende lavt for så meget luksus. Denne pris er, hvis du bestiller direkte på FivelementsBali.com. Hvis du gennemgår Radiovagabonds sponsor, Hotels25.dk, kan du faktisk spare omkring 15%. NÆSTE STOP NEW ENGLAND Om et par dage starter vi den nye sæson, og denne gang skal vi tilbage til Nordamerika. Jeg tager dig med på en biltur gennem de seks stater i New England og derefter et kort besøg i Canada, den nordlige del af staten New York, men vi skal også til Texas, Mexico og Florida. Vi starter i Boston onsdag morgen. Jeg hedder Palle Bo, og jeg skal videre. Vi ses. EPISODE-LINK: radiovagabond.dk/228-fivelements-bali DISCLAIMER Jeg blev inviteret til at bo her et par dage på grund af denne podcast – og naturligvis i håb om, at jeg ville kunne inspirere dig til at besøge dem. Men som tidligere, når jeg får ture og besøg som dette, er jeg ikke forpligtet til at sige noget, jeg ikke mener, og alt hvad jeg siger, er min egen ægte mening. Jeg beskriver blot mit besøg.

Normalt er det på Tinder, man søger kærligheden eller mere flygtige romancer digitalt, men nu vil Facebook også være med. Facebook dating lancerer i Danmark, og det er en krigserklæring mod de andre datingapps. En historie om forskning, der ikke blev offentliggjort, præger dagens Berlingske. Men det er slet ikke en forside værdigt, mener en forsker, der kritiserer at vi taler om forskning, vi ikke kender resultaterne af. Og så er Kevin Magnussen færdig i Formel 1. Hvorfor er han færdig, og hvilke asfalterede veje skal han ud på for at få mest muligt succes i resten af karrieren? Medvirkende: Thomas Bigum, Anton Pottegård og John Nielsen.
Dansk bilproduktion plejer sjældent at blive til noget, selv om projekterne ofte er interessante. Hos firmaet Agile Automotive i Vamdrup går man dog mod tendensen og har nu solgt det første eksemplar af en avanceret sportsvogn i kulfiber. Hør den historie i ugens Bilradio, hvor værten, Christian Schacht, interviewer Tim Hansen, der har konstrueret bilen. Bilradio fokuserer også på, hvilke modeller, der har en chance til kåringen af Årets Bil i Danmark, og så er der test af en hurtig og komfortabel Volvo, som dog har en markant ulempe.
Så er det Le Mans-uge! I år køres 24-timersløbet på Le Mans for 88. gang siden 1923. Der har været dansk deltagelse siden 1983, og danskere har stået øverst på podiet flere gange siden John Nielsen tog den første danske sejr i 1990. Mere end 30 danskere har deltaget i det legendariske løb – ti totalsejre og syv klassesejre er det blevet til – bliver det mon til flere af den slags i år? Vi gennemgår de otte danskere i årets Le Mans, deres kørersammensætninger og udpeger favoritter i de forskellige klasser. Og så kan vi ikke undgå at komme ind på de ændringer, der er til løbet i år på Circuit de la Sarthe, hvor der vanligvis er 200.000 tilskuere, fest og god stemning hele ugen. I studiet er TV 2’s Le Mans-kommentator Jens Winther jr., Eurosports Le Mans-kommentator (og DASU-sportschef) Bo Baltzer Nielsen. Vært er Bo Skovfoged.
Verdens bedste cykelryttere er klar til igen af konkurrere med hinanden, og det bliver i et voldsomt kompakt efterår på grund af corona-aflysningerne, og det kan få betydning for udfaldet af løbene. Kevin Magnussen viste fremragende taktisk og teknisk sans i Ungarn. Det får Viasat-kommentator John Nielsen til at sende Magnussen videre mod et større hold end Haas. Og så er badmintonspillerne inde i en historisk lang turneringspause. Fire måneder i træk har spillerne måtte nøjedes med at træne, og det er endnu uvist hvornår de internationale turneringer genoptages.

Martin Braithwaite og FC Barcelona har været den store sportsoverskrift i løbet af ugen. Derfor er to af højdepunkterne selvfølgelig omkring den spanske storklub og den danske landsholdsspiller, der nu har kontrakt med hinanden. Men du kan også høre, hvordan racerkøreren John Nielsen tog en skæbnesvanger beslutning om at forhindre en medkører at komme i bilen, da John Nielsen vandt Le Mans i 1990. Vi har også stillet os undrende over for fjerbolde i badminton og ikke mindst en undren over, hvad coronavirussen egentlig er i Al den sundhed.
Racerkøreren John Nielsen står for en af de mindeværdige og helt store præstationer i dansk idræts historie – nemlig sejren i Lemans i en jaguar i 1990. John Nielsen har også vundet klassikeren på DAYTONA, og den sejr udløste en formel-1 kontrakt. Men John Nielsen blev revet ud af formel 1 raceren på vej ud af pit lane. Det fortæller John Nielsen om i fremkaldt. Han fortæller også om at leve dagligt med døden som passager og af det er lidt træls at blive ældre. Og så kan fremkaldt afsløre en hemmelighed. John Nielsen kom aldrig over målstregen, da han vandt le mans i 1990, som reglerne ellers fastslår at man skal, for at kunne blive udråbt som vinder.
John Nielsen John Nielsen (f. 07.02.1956) var med til at sætte dansk bilsport på det internationale landkort, da han i 1990 som første dansker sejrede samlet i 24-timersløbet i Le Mans. Før triumfen med TWR Jaguar-teamet i lang- distanceklassikeren var sønderjyden tredobbelt EM-vinder i formelklassen Formula Super Vee, han vandt som første dansker det hæderkronede Macau GP, han blev tysk Formel 3-mester og meget, meget mere. Undervejs i karrieren var John Nielsen flere gange involveret i alvorlige ulykker, blandt andet i Monaco i 1984, en berygtet flyvetur på Le Mans i Saubers Gruppe C-racer i 1985 og i Jaguar på Brands Hatch i England. John Nielsen slog tonen an for mange danske talenter efterfølgende og kickstartede med sin sejr i 1990 et danskereventyr på Le Mans og i international racing. John Nielsen er optaget i motorsportens hall of fame 2019. Om Motorsportens Hall of Fame DASU introducerer nu Motorsportens Hall of Fame. En række af sportens allerstørste bliver i fremtiden hædret i dansk motorsport gennem optagelse i Motorsportens Hall of Fame. Det sker dels i en fysisk udstilling i Idrættens Hus i Brøndby, hvor DASU har sekretariat, dels på dasu.dk gennem podcasts og artikler i et område, der er dedikeret til de motorsportsstjerner, der hædres. Det er både klubber og sekretariatet, der kan indstille til at medlemmer optages i Motorsportens Hall of Fame. For at blive optaget, skal man dog leve op til en række krav. Ved lanceringen optages en håndfuld koryfæer, hvilket også vil være tilfældet året efter. Herefter optages en udøver årligt. I 2019 optages John Nielsen, Gert Munkholm, Henrik Lundgaard, Jan og Harald Søndergaard samt Tom Kristensen i Motorsportens Hall of Fame.

Series 1: The Schuylers and the The Broecks Episode III: The Battles of Saratoga What happened at the Battles of Saratoga would decide if the American cause would live to see another day. If the Battles of Saratoga were won by the British, they could easily advance to Albany and take the city. If Albany was lost, New York as a whole would be controlled by the British, cutting off the Northern Colonies from the Southern Colonies, and effectively ending the war with a British victory. We’ll explore these battles’ importance, Albany’s involvement, and hear from combatants on both the American and British sides, like Philip Schuyler, Abraham Ten Broeck, Horatio Gates, Benedict Arnold, John Burgoyne, Baroness Von Riedesel, and Simon Fraser. The importance of what happened on those battlefields was not lost on any of the men involved, but, as you’ll see, that didn’t stop them from getting embroiled in petty arguments within their own forces. “The Battles of Saratoga” PRESENTED BY AARON HOLBRITTER AND CASEY POLOMAINE WRITTEN BY JESSIE SERFILIPPI CONCEIVED AND EDITED BY AARON HOLBRITTER PRODUCED BY AARON HOLBRITTER AND CASEY POLOMAINE RECORDED BY ISAAC NEWBERRY Featuring: Chris Foster …… Brig.

ISDA Secure Transportation and Executive Protection News Podcast for Thursday, October 25th, 2018 ====================== In Vehicle News From Ars Technica How driver-assist tech can result in a $5,000 fender-bender Cars with advanced driver-assistance technology are more expensive to repair than their less-autonomous counterparts, according to a study by AAA. What would have been relatively inexpensive bodywork due to a fender bender may end up costing two and a half times as much to repair, due to the location of cameras along with ultrasonic and radar sensors. "Advanced safety systems are much more common today, with many coming as standard equipment, even on base models,” said John Nielsen, AAA’s managing director of Automotive Engineering and Repair. “It’s critical that drivers understand what technology their vehicle has, how it performs and how much it could cost to repair should something happen." It's not just the parts, either. A rock hitting your windshield will require the camera used for adaptive cruise control to be recalibrated. And you'll likely have to pay more for the replacement windshield, as some manufacturers have more stringent standards for optical clarity. What would otherwise be a $500 windshield replacement can end up costing as much as $1,500. AAA has broken down some of the extra costs for cars with advanced driver-assist technology: Front radar sensors used with automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control systems: $900 to $1,300 Rear radar sensors used with blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert systems: $850 to $2,050 Front camera sensors used with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane keeping systems (does not include the cost of a replacement windshield): $850 to $1,900 Front, side mirror, or rear camera sensors used with around-view systems: $500 to $1,100 Front or rear ultrasonic sensors used with parking assist systems: $500 to $1,300 https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/10/why-driver-assist-tech-can-lead-to-the-5000-fender-bender/ ====================== In Security News From Huffington Post How Investigators Will Work To Find Out Who’s Behind The Bomb Scare Pipe bombs were sent to several prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. From Washington to New York to Florida to Los Angeles, the authorities intercepted a wave of crudely built devices that were contained in manila envelopes. In the center of Manhattan, the Time Warner Center was evacuated because of a pipe bomb sent to CNN, which has its New York offices there. It was addressed to John Brennan, a critic of President Trump who served as Obama's CIA director. Pipe bombs were also intercepted in Florida and Los Angeles. The devices stashed in manila envelopes and mailed nationwide targeted top Democrats two weeks before the midterm elections. The bombs found this week were intended for at least seven officials, including Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). Law enforcement officials have also tracked down another suspicious package sent to former Vice President Joe Biden, and the FBI says additional packages may have been mailed to other locations. None of the bombs detonated and no one was injured. The packages contained pipe bombs that appear to have been made with relatively rudimentary materials. Authorities have confirmed that a number of them contained explosive powder. There is no shortage of theories about who might be behind the plot. Instead of relying on conjecture, investigators will be looking for clear evidence to help them nail down a culprit, said David Chipman, a former ATF agent who worked on the 1993 World Trade Center attack and the Oklahoma City bombing and now serves as senior policy adviser at the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. It’s not yet clear if the devices recovered this week will contain that sort of calling card, or whether the investigation will end up supporting claims that this was indeed a deliberate act of political terror against liberal political figures. Whatever authorities uncover, the plot is deeply concerning, said Chipman. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bomb-scare-investigation-evidence_us_5bd0af0fe4b055bc9487a922 ====================== In Terrorism News From Palm Beach Daily News Terrorism talk kicks off World Affairs Council season You have a better chance of being struck by lightning twice than being killed by a terrorist. That was what Georgia State University professor Mia Bloom informed a crowd of 115 people Tuesday at The Colony at the season-opening event for the World Affairs Council of Palm Beach. In her discussion, “Small Arms: Children in Terrorism,” Bloom covered a variety of topics, including the indoctrination of women and children, often called “cubs,” into terrorism; how the general population fetishizes terrorism; and and the motivations for recruiting women into terrorist groups. Her research on the last subject, funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, with John Horgan will be published in their book, also called “Small Arms,” due out May 15. In addition to teaching communication and Middle East studies, Bloom monitors terrorist groups on social media and how they are recruiting people. Using her knowledge of Arabic, she has been able to create anonymous accounts and post on social media, she said. Bloom pointed out that 30 to 40 percent of ISIS messaging is positive, and that many women who end up getting involved are not in prison or involved in gangs. “Terrorists play on people’s altruistic tendencies,” she said. “People join because they think they’re going to help people.” Once these women see the real mission and realize this isn’t what they signed up for, they end up getting killed, she said. According to Bloom, the face of terrorism was male for a long time, but it has changed. Leftist organizations such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army were recruiting women as early as the 1970s, serving mainly as front-line activists. Nowadays, women can play roles in all levels of a terrorist organization, whether they’re logisticians, fundraisers or online recruiters. https://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/20181025/terrorism-talk-kicks-off-world-affairs-council-season ====================== In Business of Executive Protection News From Strategic Marketing Solutions Cyfe – The All in One Business Dashboard Cyfe is an all in one dashboard for your business that connects to tens of different data connections.

Den økonomiske krise, tordnende høj ungdomsarbejdsløshed, migrationsproblemer og korruptionsskandaler har sammen med fodbold og ferietillæg været dominerende i mediernes dækning af Spanien. I 2017 kom spansk politik dog for alvor på den danske radar, da Catalonien holdt sin uafhængighedsafstemning i oktober måned. I spansk politik er der fire store partier. PSOE, socialistpartiet, der har regeringsmagten i Spanien. PP, der er det konservative parti, venstrefløjspartiet Unidos Podemos og Ciudadanos, der er et liberalt borgerligt parti. Spanien er et ungt demokrati med under 50 år på bagen, og her fokuserer vi på de fire partier, den politiske kultur i Spanien samt på, hvad den nye regering i Spanien vil med magten. Vi ser selvfølgelig også på, hvad status er på situationen i Catalonien. Endelig giver Danmarks ambassadør i Spanien, John Nielsen i podcasten, sit bud på, hvad spanske politikere kan lære af det spanske fodboldlandshold.
