"Tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums. Tāpēc es tur esmu," – tik skaisti par savu darbu teic Mūzikas nama "Daile" direktore Anda Zadovska, kura 4. maijā kļūs par Atzinības krusta komandieri.  Par bērnību pilī un brīvdienām pie jūras, par radošu prieku un izaicinājumiem, vadot privātu koncertzāli, uzzinām šajā skaistajā sarunā, uz kuru Andu aicinājusi "Klasikas" direktore Gunda Vaivode.  Gunda Vaivode: Anda, 4. maijā Rīgas pilī Valsts prezidents tev pasniegs Atzinības krustu, un tu kļūsi par tā komandieri. Šo apbalvojumu pasniedz godaprāta ļaudīm par izcilu Tēvijas mīlestību un sevišķiem nopelniem valsts, sabiedriskajā, kultūras, zinātnes, sporta un izglītības darbā. Kopš izziņošanas brīža "Latvijas Vēstnesī" pagājis jau labs laiciņš. Kas tevi apsveica pirmais?  Anda Zadovska: Pirmā īsziņa atnāca neilgi pirms pusnakts, un to man atsūtīja Valmieras teātra direktore Evita Sniedze [Ašeradena]. Paskatījos, bet nereaģēju, jo, ņemot vērā, ka ceļos piecos un eju gulēt deviņos vai desmitos vakarā, nodomāju, ka tas nav nekas svarīgs. Pēc tam atnāca otra īsziņa – to atsūtīja Rafaels Ciekurs no Neatliekamās medicīniskās palīdzības dienesta. Domāju – nē, kaut kas tur riktīgi nav! Viņš rakstīja, ka sveic mani kā Atzinības krusta komandieri. Tas laikam bija 1. aprīlis, un man likās, ka varbūt kāds joko. Bet rezultātā, protams, visu nakti nevarēju gulēt… Vai esi jau apdomājusi, ko teiksi savā atbildes runā?  Apdomājusi esmu, bet līdz galam vēl nē. Tas noteikti nebūs kaut kas garš. Tas ir ļoti nopietns pasākums, un man vēl ir laiks. Bet izlasot šī apbalvojuma devīzi – "Godaprāta ļaudīm" – es, protams, ļoti cenšos. Jūtos ārkārtīgi pagodināta...  "Godaprāta ļaudis – pirmkārt iedomājos par saviem vecvecākiem" Formulējums tiešām ir ļoti skaists – godaprāta ļaudis. Vai šajā kontekstā esi iedomājusies par saviem senčiem?  Jā, pirmkārt iedomājos par saviem vecvecākiem. Lielu daļu bērnības pavadīju pie viņiem Ezerē, tas ir tieši pie Lietuvas robežas. Tie bija mammas vecāki, kurus, kā jau daudzus latviešus, 1949. gadā izsūtīja uz Sibīriju. Arī mammu, trīsgadīgu bērnu… Viņi bija saimnieki?  Nē! Tur tas interesantākais, ka tieši no tēta puses vecvecāki bija lielsaimnieki ar simt hektāriem Sēlijā. Tētis staigāja jūrnieka kostīmiņā, kalpi apkārt. Arī viņi bija sarakstos, bet viņiem kāds to bija pateicis, un viņi no izsūtīšanas paglābās, aizbēgot mežā. Bet izsūtīja tieši manas mammas vecvecākus Frici un Emmu no Ezeres, jo Fricis negribēja stāties kolhozā. Kaimiņš viņu nodeva, un viņiem nācās gandrīz desmit gadus pavadīt Sibīrijā. Tie ir lielākie godaprāta ļaudis, kas man pirmie nāk prātā. Jo šiem cilvēkiem divas reizes nācās savu dzīvi sākt no pilnīgas nulles. Vecvecāki paguva atgriezties? Jā, viņi paguva atgriezties, un vēl līdz deviņdesmitajiem gadiem bija klātesoši mūsu dzīvē. Kad es šodien iedomājos... Viņi savu dzīvi sāka Embūtē, Dienvidkurzemē, kur bija tieši Kurzemes katls. Kā viņi stāstīja – tikko bijis bērniņš piedzimis, nāk kāds zaldāts un saka – ātri bēdziet projām, jo tūlīt fronte nāks pāri. Viņi tikko jaunu māju bija uzcēluši… Un vēl pat līdz mežam nebija tikuši, kad tā uzgāja gaisā... Tad vecvecāki aizbrauca uz Ezeri, no kurienes 1949. gadā viņus aizveda uz Sibīriju. Tā ka viņi dabūja pilnīgi no nulles visu dzīvi sākt divas reizes. Bet tas interesantākais un apbrīnojamākais ir tas, ka viņi nekad par to nesūdzējās! Nekad. Viņi bija ļoti gaiši cilvēki, un ļoti daudzi – arī mēs ar māsu Kristīni (Andas māsa ir dziedātāja Kristīne Zadovska – red.) Še ir cilvēki, kas man laikam ir vissvarīgākie.  Bet tu saviem vecākiem piedzimi Dobelē?  Mani vecāki bija skolotāji Zebrenes skolā, kas bija Dobeles rajonā. Dobeles pilsētā mēs nedzīvojām, taču tieši tur abas ar Kristīni esam dzimušas.  Tātad ceriņi ir tavs laiks?  Jā, tieši tā. Esmu arī beigusi Dobeles mūzikas skolu, kas tagad skaisti atjaunota – šķiet, tā šobrīd ir viena no skaistākajām mūzikas skolām Latvijā! Tā ka esam uz Zemgales un Kurzemes robežas. Man liekas – ļoti labs komplekts.  "Savas dzīves pirmos astoņpadsmit gadus esmu dzīvojusi pilī" Bet tavas bērnības lielākais laiks ir pagājis pilī!  Tieši tāda bija mūsu adrese: Jaunpils, un pēdiņās – "Pils". Savas dzīves pirmos astoņpadsmit gadus esmu dzīvojusi tieši pilī. Tas iznāca tā: manu tēti uzaicināja par orķestra vadītāju Jaunpilī, un tā mēs tur nokļuvām. Tur iedeva dzīvokli, un mēs dzīvojām pilī. Nu, tad tu vari iedomāties! Un mamma savukārt kūrēja kultūras dzīvi. Mamma bija Kultūras nama vadītāja, kas atradās tieši zem mūsu dzīvokļa. Čībās uz turieni varējām noiet. Tātad tas laikam gēnu līmenī mani ir ietekmējis… Mamma jūs lika arī pie darba Kultūras nama pasākumos?  Biju apkopēja, un vēl kopā ar tagadējo politiķi Uldi Auguli vadījām pensionāru vakarus. Ļoti aktīvi iesaistījos! Mana sirdslieta gan ir tautas deju kolektīvu vadīšana, jo mana pirmā izglītība ir tieši tautas deju kolektīva vadītāja! Toreiz izdomāju, ka būšu tikai tautas deju kolektīva vadītāja un atgriezīšos Jaunpilī. Mana mamma, protams, bija pilnīgā ārprātā, ka neeju uz augstskolu, un ir tikai deju kolektīvs un Dziesmu svētki. Bet nu – kad apgrozījos Rīgā, sapratu, ka tomēr vajag arī kaut ko citu.  Mammīte ir darbīga joprojām! Jā, mammīte ir darbīga un dzīvo Jaunpilī. Šogad viņai apaļa 80 gadu jubileja, ko svinēsim Jaunpils pilī, Kultūras namā.  "Skolā matemātika man bija stiprākā puse" Tu esi privātas koncertzāles vadītāja. Vai tad, kad gāji studēt Latvijas Universitātes Ekonomikas un vadības fakultātē, tev jau bija kāda nojauta par to, ko gribi darīt? Pilnīgi noteikti tajā brīdī nojauta par privātas koncertzāles izveidošanu nebija. Bet dzīve cilvēku aizved tur, kur viņam jābūt. Man kādreiz likās – ja izlasa manu CV, ir sajūta, ka tas cilvēks tiešām nav zinājis, ko viņš dzīvē grib darīt. Jo tur ir gan flauta, gan tautas deju kolektīvu vadīšana, pa vidu – pedagoģija, un tad ir LU Ekonomikas un vadības fakultāte, kas ir nopietnāka izglītība. Tagad viss komplekts man ļoti labi noder: ja man būtu tikai humanitāra izglītība, nekad dzīvē privātkoncertzāli vadīt nevarētu! Jo galvenā sadaļa šeit ir tā, kā tu to lielo bildi finansiāli vari savilkt kopā. Ikdienā strādājam tūkstoš kvadrātmetru lielā zālē ar nulles dotācijām – viss jānopelna mums pašiem. Lai to varētu izdomāt, ekonomikas zināšanas ir vajadzīgas. Bet matemātika man arī bija stiprākā puse skolā, nevis, piemēram, valodas.  Ko no tevis ikdienā paģēr koncertzāles vadīšana? Tā ir milzīga atbildība. Pirmkārt par cilvēkiem, kuri ir mani darbinieki. Cik tev ir darbinieku? Pamata komandā esam pieci cilvēki: divi tehniskie – Kristers un Artūrs, mana vietniece Ieva, mārketinga vadītāja Betija un cilvēks-orķestris – aizskatuves administrators Kaspars. Vēl ir publiku apkalpojošais personāls. Jā, neesam daudz, neskatoties uz to, ka mums ir ļoti liels skatītāju skaits un notiek daudzi pasākumi. Mēs paši visu darām.  Un kā jūs mērāt savus izmērāmos rezultātus? Tas ir pasākumu skaits, tas ir skatītāju skaits, un tas ir apgrozījums: varam ar to lepoties. jo Latvijas koncertu vietu vidū pēc "Biļešu paradīzes" datiem esam diezgan augstās pozīcijās, augšgalā. Manī bija spīts – pierādīšu, ka to var izdarīt! Pieņemu, ka ne vienmēr esat eiforijā, ka viss sanāk. Eiforijas nav vispār, jo mums taču bija pandēmija, kas likās pilnīgs izmisums. Principā tajā laikā vajadzēja aiztaisīt tās durvis ciet, bet tobrīd manī bija spīts – es tik un tā to noturēšu un pierādīšu, ka to var izdarīt! Kaut patiesībā tas bija diezgan neiespējami ar visiem atceltajiem pasākumiem. Atceros pa datumiem, kā tas viss notika: 11. martā toreiz visu aizvēra, mēs kvalificējāmies visiem atbalstiem, bet saņēmām tos decembrī. Visu laiku ar privātiem aizņēmumiem – kaut kā tā. Arī darbinieki taču bija jānotur – viņi  nebija vainīgi. Tas bija diezgan liels izaicinājums, un arī tagad nevaram rēķināties ne ar ko uz priekšu. Tā ir laime dotētajām iestādēm – ka tās var saplānot vismaz vienu sezonu uz priekšu! Bet es to nevaru, jo nezinu, kādi būs ieņēmumi. Tas atkarīgs tikai no tā. Tagad apkure par janvāri, februāri, martu – komunālo pakalpojumu rēķins ir septiņi tūkstoši! Tagad domājam, ko darīt.  Bet zāles lielākoties vienmēr ir pilnas, biļetes pārdotas ilgu laiku uz priekšu, un tas piedāvājums ir apskaužami daudzveidīgs: tie nav tikai dažādžanru koncerti – tie ir dažādi vakari, un man šķiet, ka tev pašai īpaši mīļi ir dzejnieku vakari.  Man sevišķi tuvi pagājušo gadsimtu mijas dzejnieki – Plūdons, Skalbe, Fricis Bārda. Sen neesam uztaisījuši nevienu jaunu programmu, bet vajadzētu. Pandēmija visus nolika uz pauzes. Bet pirms tam taču mums bija programmas ar Vili Daudziņu – viņš mums ir tāds kā dzejas teātra patrons. Pirmā programma bija ar Ojāra Vācieša un Imanta Ziedoņa vēstulēm – kopā ar Kasparu Znotiņu un Vili Daudziņu: tas mums bija absolūtais bestsellers! Bet tas bija jau pirms desmit gadiem – nospēlējām gandrīz simt reižu. Tā bija izrāde, par kuru teicu – var to likt pirmdien no rīta, arī tad būs izpārdota! Un tad bija iestudējums, kuru centrā bija brāļi Veidenbaumi. Tā bija Viļa Daudziņa ideja, jo daudzi nezināja, ka Veidenbaumam Eduardam bija brālis Kārlis, kurš arī rakstīja dzeju, bet viņš bija tas, kurš saimniekoja Kalāču mājās: kādam jau tur bija jāstrādā, lai Eduards varētu dzīvoties pa Tērbatu... Stāsts bija ļoti interesants, un mēs to piedāvājām arī "Skolas somai". Jo man likās – ja bērns atnāk un noskatās Viļa pētījumu par laiku, kurā Veidenbaumi dzīvoja, par cara laika Latviju – tā uzreiz ir mācību stunda! Tādi izglītojoši pasākumi, kuros arī pati daudz uzzinu. Daumants Kalniņš sarakstīja mūziku ar Friča Bārdas dzeju – izveidojās programma "Sirds prieks". Sekoja programma ar Knuta Skujenieka vārdiem, par ko Daumants saņēma "Zelta mikrofonu". Man pašai tas viss ir tik tuvs – tāpēc arī tik aizrautīgi par to stāstu! Protams, visi Vecpiebalgas dižgari: pirms kāda laika sarīkojām latviešu kultūras nedēļu "Vecpiebalga atver durvis", kas turpinās vēl šobrīd; Kārļa Skalbes mājās bija ikgadējie koncerti. Mums pašiem patīk un citiem arī.  "Tā ir Dieva dāvana – būt tādu cilvēku tuvumā"  Ar senajiem meistariem iznāk vairs tikai virtuāla tikšanās, bet ar dzejniekiem, kuri vēl pavisam nesen bija mūsu vidū, tev droši vien veidojusies skaista, pavisam tuva draudzība.  Draudzība – tā varbūt neteiktu. Bet tādi cilvēki patiesi bijuši pie manis "Dailes" namā – piemēram, Knuts Skujenieks savu 85 gadu jubileju – savu pēdējo jubileju – sagaidīja uz "Dailes" nama skatuves un bija klāt arī Daumanta programmas "Drošinājums" pirmatskaņojumā. Protams, ka tā ir ļoti liela vērtība – ka esi šos cilvēkus saticis un saproti, kādai ellei viņi izgājuši cauri – te domāju Knutu Skujenieku.  Un tas, ka viņš – tāds Baltais tētiņš – spējis palikt tik gaišs cilvēks – tas ir apbrīnojami! Un vēl mums bija Imanta Kalniņa iepriekšējās jubilejas ballīte, kurā bija Uldis Bērziņš, Knuts Skujenieks un pats Imants Kalniņš. Tā ir Dieva dāvana – būt tādu cilvēku tuvumā.  Arī Latvijas Radio koris ir tavs lielais draugs – vairākas programmas rīkotas tieši ar to. Piemēram, Artura Maskata mūzikas programma. Tā laikam ir tava īpašā mīlestība. Jā, Latvijas Radio koris ir mani draugi visu "Dailes" nama gadu garumā. Pirmajai programmai, kurai Sigvards Kļava bija mākslinieciskais vadītājs, veidojām speciālas aranžijas – Andris Sējāns pirmajai daļai un Valts Pūce – otrajai daļai. Imanta Kalniņa oratorijā "Dzejnieks un Nāra" pirmoreiz satikos ar Daumantu Kalniņu kā solistu, un tad arī sākās mūsu draudzība – tas bija jau pirms vienpadsmit gadiem. Tagad mums ir plāns "Dzejnieku un Nāru" rudenī kopā ar Sigvardu jauniestudēt, jo toreiz "Dailes" nams bija knapi atvērts, un šī programma bija pelnījusi skanēt ilgāk. Tāpēc tā atkal jāiestudē no jauna! Vēl ar Latvijas Radio kori bija Artura Maskata jubilejas programma, Broņislavas Martuževas programma ar Daci Everss un Daumantu.  Veidojot šīs programmas, tev iznāk brīnišķīga sadarbība arī ar vadošajiem režisoriem un dramaturgiem! Protams! Diezgan daudz esam sadarbojušies ar Māru Ķimeli. Tagad jubilārs Artūrs Dīcis mums ir dramaturgs Mārča Auziņa un Daiņa Grūbes izrādē. Reinis Suhanovs bija atklāšanas izrādes režisors. Laikam jau patiesībā esam sadarbojušies ar visiem, kas ir mūsu vidū.  Sava publika – tā ir puse no uzvaras! Līdzās koncertiem, muzikālajiem uzvedumiem un džeza koncertiem Mūzikas namā "Daile" ir arī sarunu vakari. Izskatās, ka cilvēkiem ir nepieciešamība pēc klusinātām sarunām, kur divas personības sarunājas par šodien būtiskām tēmām.  Mums bija divi cikla darbi – un droši vien būs arī trešais – ar abiem Mārčiem Auziņiem: ģitāristu Mārci Auziņu un zinātnieku Mārci Auziņu, ar kuru mums izveidojusies cieša draudzība – viņš ir vienkārši brīnišķīgs cilvēks! Cilvēkiem tas interesē, un tēmas ir dažādas: pirmā bija par mākslīgo intelektu, kur bija gan mūzika, gan profesora skatījums, bet saruna "Flirts ar Budu" bija kā meditācija, kurā skanēja mūzika. Tādi starpžanru projekti. Un vēl ir Latvijas Nacionālā simfoniskā orķestra kamermūzikas koncerti, kur skan gan klasika, gan arī laikmetīgā mūzika! Vai uz tiem nāk "Dailes" namam uzticīgā publika, vai tomēr līdz ar žanru un stila maiņu mainās arī cilvēki? Kādi astoņdesmit procenti ir uzticamā publika. Es jau šos cilvēkus atpazīstu vaigā. Taču LNSO kamermūzikas koncerti publikā ienesuši arī jaunas sejas. Ļoti ceru, ka viņi vēlāk atrod arī kaut ko sev piemērotu no mūsu repertuāra.  Kad atvēru "Dailes" namu, mans galvenais mērķis un sapnis bija, ka mums izveidotos sava publika – jo tā jau ir puse no uzvaras! Un es atļaušos domāt, ka trīspadsmit gadu laikā tas tiešām noticis. Bet septembrī apritēs astoņpadsmit gadi, kopš sarīkoju savu pirmo koncertu... Tev ir liela privilēģija – strādāt kopā ar Maestro Raimondu Paulu, turklāt uzņemties tādu lielu un atbildīgu pienākumu kā lielā draugu lokā nosvinēt viņa 90. dzimšanas dienu, kas patiešām bija fantastisks vakars. Bet sadarbība rit arī ikdienā. Cik reižu jau nospēlēta izrāde "Vīrieši labākos gados"?  Ap 120. Tieši uz Maestro jubileju apkopojām kopīgo programmu skaitu, un patiesi: kopā ar Maestro veidotas 15 programmas ar dažādiem solistiem. Pirmā bija ar Zigfrīdu Muktupāvelu, tad ar Agnesi Rakovsku, Dināru Rudāni un Andri Keišu, tad bija Zigfrīda Muktupāvela programma ar Jāņa Petera dzeju, jau pieminētā Ojāra Vācieša un Imanta Ziedoņa programma… Ļoti daudzas programmas bijušas ar Maestro. Un ne tikai ar Maestro – pie mums bijis arī Zigmara Liepiņa 70 gadu jubilejas koncerts. Un arī Jāņa Lūsēna un Imanta Kalniņa jubileja tikusi svinēta. Atļaušos teikt, ka ļoti popularizējam latviešu autoru dzeju un mūziku. Tas ir mūsu galvenais mērķis, un mēs solāmies to darīt arī turpmāk.  Un Frenka Sinatras visgarākā dzimšanas diena! Jā, Frenka Sinatras dzimšanas diena tika svinēta desmit gadu garumā. "Tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums" Anda, tu visos koncertos pati esi klāt. Šķiet, ka pilnīgi katru vakaru! Pieņemu, ka tas ir ne tikai tavs darba pienākums, bet tev ir arī patīkami redzēt [sava darba] augļus.  Tieši tā. Zinu visas programmas no galvas, bet… Ņemot vērā to, ka esam privāta koncertzāle, mums darba roku nav tik daudz, bet skatītāju vietu skaits ir vairāk nekā četri simti. Tāpēc visu darām paši – arī tērpus sakārtojam māksliniekiem, uzklājam kafijas galdu. Mēs reāli strādājam kā publiku un mākslinieku apkalpojošais personāls. Tāpēc arī tur esmu. Un tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums. Mūzikas nams "Daile" atrodas Lāčplēša un Barona ielas stūrī – tāda ļoti laba kultūras vietu saliņa! Blakus – restorāns "Osiris", netālu – Jaunais Rīgas teātris, virs jums ir "Arhis Arhitekti", un turpat ir arī galerija "Istaba". Jā, tāds radošais kvartāls.  Bet jūs arī kaut kā sadarbojaties?  Mēs vienkārši draudzējamies. Jaunā Rīgas teātra aktieri pie mums uzstājas, publika iet uz "Osiris" – lai gan arī mums ir pašiem sava kafejnīca –, un "Osiris" publika nāk pie mums. Pagalmiņš ir viens – visi Jāņos satiekamies.  Man bija pārsteigums, ka savulaik esi strādājusi pie Andreja Žagara.  Andrejam tolaik bija, manuprāt, septiņi restorāni: tas bija augstākais punkts, kad viņš atvēra "Žagara jauno restorānu". Berga bazārā bija "Simpozijs", vīnu veikals, Vecrīgā bija grieķu restorāns, vēl "Dizzi" klubs, "Osiris"... Biju šo restorānu izpilddirektore. Ar Andreju iepazināmies kādā ballītē Operā, un viņš saprata: šitā meitene, kaut arī no laukiem, ir baigi ašā. Kaut kāds materiāls tur ir! Andrejam esmu ļoti pateicīga – viņš man ļoti daudz ko iemācīja. Vienbrīd viņš saka: tagad braucam uz Londonu un Parīzi, uz restorāniem! Es domāju – man pat nav nekā, ko mugurā vilkt... Ar Andreju vienu laiku ļoti cieši strādājām.  Viss sākās kā joks, bet izrādījās liktenis Tu esi ne tikai šīs koncertzāles turētāja un saimniece, bet arī mūzikas izdevniecības "Ars Nova" vadītāja. Tagad tas vairāk "Spotify" platformai. Apvienība tika nodibināta, kad sākām strādāt kopā ar Jāni Lūsēnu – tas bija 2008. gadā, un septembrī kopš tā laika būs apritējuši jau astoņpadsmit gadi. Tas viss sākās kā joks, bet izrādījās liktenis. Jo pirms tam strādāju pilnīgi citā sfērā un reiz vedu Kristīni uz koncertu, kurā viņai bija jāpiedalās kopā ar Māru Zālīti, Jāni Lūsēnu un Zigfrīdu Muktupāvelu. To koncertu atcēla. Kaut kā sākām runāt, un Lūsēns saka – man nākošgad piecdesmit gadu jubileja, bet nav, kas uztaisa. Saku – es taču varu uztaisīt! Bet tad tikai Operā, jo tikai tajā kaut ko zinu. Tā tas sākās – kā joks. Pa vidu Jānis uzrakstīja ciklu "Mazu brīdi pirms". Tas bija 2008. gadā – mans pirmais rīkotais koncerts. Pilnīgs liktenis! Tad bija laiks, kad iestudējām dažādus mūziklus – Valmieras teātrī bija "Kaupēn, mans mīļais" un "Agrā rūsa". Bet ciešāka sadarbība raisījās  tikai ar Lūsēnu. Bet tā mūžīgā telpu problēma... Un tad es iedomājos, vai Rīgā nav kāds bijušais kinoteātris… Ierakstīju tīmekļa meklētājā – un tiešām! Sludinājums, ka izīrē bijušā kinoteātra telpas. Taču sludinājuma termiņš jau bija beidzies. Nodomāju: tā ir tieši "Osiris" māja, kurā visus pazīstu. Jānoskaidro. Viņi saka – tur ir izīrēts, bet varbūt viens procents, ka [mans sapnis] varētu piepildīties. Un tas viens procents arī piepildījās! Liktenis!  Vai to, ko rādāt uz skatuves, mēdzat arī izdot ciešripās un platēs? Tagad aktuāla analogā mode. Tagad tās vinilplates, jā, un ļoti gribētu izdot dažas no mūsu programmām.  Kuras tās būtu? Piemēram, programmu "Suni ārā nedzenama nakts" – tā ir ļoti, ļoti, ļoti īpaša. Tā man ļoti, ļoti patīk. Arī Knuta Skujenieka un Daumanta Kalniņa "Drošinājums", kas izpelnījās "Zelta mikrofonu". Mēs paši veidojam arī televīzijas ierakstus un dodam Latvijas Televīzijai – šie ieraksti bieži tiek parādīti televīzijā. "Pats Artūrs Banga sēdējis pie manas priedes!" Dzirdēju, ka tev bijusi doma savas mājas Lapmžciemā izveidot kā brīvdabas koncertzāli.  Tās mājas tieši ar tādu domu vispār tika iekārtotas. Tas bija pandēmijas laiks. Man bija saikne ar Lapmežciemu, un biju izdomājusi, ka tā varētu būt "Dailes" nama vasaras rezidence, un doma nav atmesta – tādi brīvdabas koncerti, jo sēta ir ļoti skaista – pie jūras un ar vēsturi: šajā sētā filmēts "Ilgais ceļš kāpās"... Diezgan daudz tur esmu savedusi kārtībā, tā ka – kas zina. Pandēmijas laikā taisījām visādas fotosesijas; esam filmējuši arī raidījumu "Daudz laimes, jubilār!" Vajadzētu sākt ar "Ilgā ceļa kāpās" vakara kino seansu, lai redz, kur ir Artūra priede! Jā, pats Artūrs Banga (viens no filmas galvenajiem varoņiem – red.) sēdējis pie manas priedes! Tas uzreiz ir stāsts! (Smejas.) Vēl tikai mājai jāuzliek šindeļu jumts. Vai maz vēl ir meistari, kas māk tādu uzlikt? Mani meistari brauc no Alūksnes, jo daudz tādu vairs nav. Tas ir tāds ļoti labais gadījums, kas man liek noticēt, ka ar Latviju viss ir kārtībā, jo šindeļu jumta licējam – galvenajam meistaram – ir pieci dēli, un visi pieci ir apmācīti šindeļu jumta likšanā! Jā, viņi mācās dažādās universitātēs, bet viņi prot to amatu. Un tad nu visi pieci dēli brauc un liek manai mājai jumtu. Tā ir vērtība! Ko vēl dari savā brīvajā laikā, ja tev tāds ir? Brīvā laika man ir ļoti maz. Bet, cik nu ir, to cenšos pavadīt dabā. Jo ikdienā, kā jau tu arī teici, katru vakaru esmu "Dailes" namā, apkārt četrsimt cilvēki, un tas, kas pēcāk visvairāk nepieciešams, ir klusums, līdzsvars, miers, kuru var atrast tikai un vienīgi dabā: mežā, pie jūras, arī tomātus stādot, arī rozēm lapas griežot un kaut ko tādu darot. Tad tomēr dārza darbi tev maķenīt patīk? Tagad patīk, jā! Kad mamma savulaik Jaunpilī lika divus hektārus biešu izkaplēt – citādi uz balli netikšu, likās – nemūžam man nekā tāda nebūs! Bet tagad patīk.  Gribas savu tomātu noplūkt!  To tomātu nav tik daudz, drīzāk tā sajūta, ka no rīta ieej siltumnīcā – tas ir pilnīgi kaut kas cits. Un tā ir vienīgā atslodze, kas iespējama, savādāk nevar – daba!  Daba, un tūlīt arī maijs, tūlīt svētki. Man vienkārši gribas novēlēt tev, lai vari izbaudīt šo pavasari un kopā ar savējiem nosvinēt gan savu atzinību, gan mūsu valsts neatkarības atjaunošanas svētkus. Lai mums visiem skaistas aprīļa beigas un maija sākums, kad daba plaukst!  Sirsnīgs paldies tev, Gunda! Baltā galdauta svētki 4. maijā man vienmēr ir patikuši – man vispār patīk galdu klāt. Tagad būs īpašs iemesls. Paldies! 

Brent Kaup (William & Mary University) and Kelly Austin (Lehigh University) come on the podcast to discuss their new book connecting disease and capitalism. They begin by discussing the financialization of America and link it as a cause of climate change. Financialization is also linked to diseases and specifically vector borne diseases through the suburbanization of areas such as Virginia. In parallel, Brent and Kelly also examine financialization in the context of malaria in Uganda, and how the increased exploitation of coffee created an environment that is more conducive to mosquitos, which coincided with a deterioration of the public health system. At the end of the interview, Brent and Kelly discuss how to do co-authorship. 

Brent Z. Kaup and Kelly F. Austin join This Is Hell! to talk about their new book "The Pathogens of Finance: How Capitalism Breeds Vector-Borne Disease" published by University of California Press. The Pathogens of Finance explores how the power and profits of Wall Street underpin the contemporary increases in and inadequate responses to vector-borne disease. (https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-pathogens-of-finance/paper?fbclid=IwY2xjawNtwAhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFGRVpZQzFoa1FZYXR4eUYzAR6-3zKbFGV7SDYV2U-xSBScfcX0UhnL3VQQ61-FYHAYxUqOttxWbvb3rKsV5Q_aem_jVwNXP3bFHvXiL3oGJDLyQ#about-book) Brent Z. Kaup studies how the transformation of nature affects social inequalities and societal well-being. In addition, he seeks to understand how the materiality of nature shapes markets, policies, and social movements.  Through his research, he has examined an array of topics including genetically modified crops in the Midwest, extractive industries in Bolivia, and the bugs in his own backyard. His areas of specialization include Environment, Energy, Political Economy, Socioeconomic Change and Development, and Globalization. Brent Z. Kaup is Professor of Sociology at William & Mary and author of Market Justice: Political Economic Struggle in Bolivia Kelly F. Austin grew up outside of Santa Cruz, California. She attended college at Oregon State University, and went to earn her PhD in Sociology at North Carolina State University.

The Pathogens of Finance: How Capitalism Breeds Vector-Borne Disease (University of California Press, 2025) by Dr. Brent Z. Kaup & Dr. Kelly F. Austin is an exploration of how the rising power and profits of Wall Street underpin the contemporary increases in and inadequate responses to vector-borne disease. Over the past fifty years, insects have transmitted infectious diseases to humans with greater frequency and in more unexpected places. To examine this phenomenon, Dr. Kaup and Dr. Austin take readers to the exurban homes of northern Virginia; the burgeoning agricultural outposts of Mato Grosso, Brazil; and the smallholder coffee farms of the Bududa District of eastern Uganda. Through these case studies, the authors illuminate how the broader financialization of society is intimately intertwined with both the creation of landscapes more conducive to vector-borne disease and the failure to prevent and cure such diseases throughout the world. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Evelin Kaup har lyckats beta av Spotify, Nordnet och Klarna på sitt CV innan hon nu landat hos Qliro. Vi pratar om vilken fas av bolagens utveckling hon fascineras mest av och vad hon brukar fokusera på när hon kommer in i ett nytt företag. Men vi plöjer också av ämnen som vad folk gör för fel i produktprocessen, när en produkt är färdig och vem som vinner racet när flera parter konkurrerar om att ta fram en produkt. Enjoy!

Ár­ið 1920, þeg­ar dönsk stjórn­völd keyptu landskika á Ama­ger-eyj­unni við Kaup­manna­höfn, grun­aði lík­lega fáa að þarna yrði inn­an fárra ára­tuga fjöl­menn­asti vinnu­stað­ur í Dan­mörku. Kast­rup-flug­völl­ur er 100 ára.

Evelin Kaup är entreprenören som lockades över till betalbolaget Qliro där hon nu är produktchef.I en intervju med Breakits Stefan Lundell bjuder hon på sina spaningar från e-handelskonferensen D-Congress, förklarar varför hon älskar data och hur hon satte miljoner på spel för sin nya arbetsgivare.Avsnittet är ett betalt samarbete med Qliro och spelades in under e-handelskonferensen D-Congress i Göteborg.

Í Bandaríkjunum situr nú forseti sem lætur sér ekkert óviðkomandi, hvort sem það eru örnefni, fjöldi kynja eða stjórn og dagskrá einnar helstu menningarstofnunar landsins. Spegillinn ræðir málið við Silju Báru Ómarasdóttur prófessor í stjórnmálafræði. Quang Le sem handtekinn var í umfangsmiklum aðgerðum í mars í fyrra freistaði þess síðasta sumar að fá leyfi hjá yfirvöldum til að fara í brúðkaup dóttur sinnar. Hann bauðst til að leggja fram tryggingu og sagðist ekki hafa nein tengsl við Víetnam því þangað hefði hann ekki komið í tólf ár. Beiðninni var hafnað. Rannsókn málsins er ekki lokið, nærri ári eftir að hún hófst og Quang sætir enn farbanni. Spegillinn reifar málið.

Í dag flytur tónlistarkonana Jelena Ciric sinn annan pistil um tónlistarmenn sem gáfu aðeins út eina hljómplötu á ferlinum en sem höfðu samt sem áður mikil áhrif á söguna. Pistill dagsins fjallar um þau Jeff Buckley og Sophie, en bæði létust langt fyrir aldur fram. Stjarna beggja skín enn skært, og stjarna Buckley sérstaklega síðustu daga því nýverið var frumsýnt heimildamynd um hann á Sundance kvikmyndahátíðinni sem hefur hlotið lofsamlega dóma. Trausti Ólafsson verður einnig með okkur í dag, að þessu sinni rýnir hann í uppfærslu Kammeróperunnar á Brúðkaupi Fígarós í Borgarleikhúsinu. Og við fjöllum einnig um leiksýningu sem hlýtur að vera ein sú langlífasta og víðförulasta sem íslenska sviðið hefur getið af sér. Leiksýningin Lífið, sem leikhúsið 10 fingur setti upp árið 2014 dansar á mörkum leikhúss og myndlistar þar sem leikararnir Sveinn Ólafur Gunnarsson og Sólveig Guðmundsdóttir standa á sviðinu í mold og drullumalla Lífið fyrir áhorfendur. Leiksýningin hlaut tvenn grímuverðlaun árið 2015 sem barnasýning ársins og sproti ársins. Þó að það séu rúm tíu ár frá frumsýningu leiksýningarinnar þá lifir hún enn góðu lífi og hefur verið sýnd víða um heiminn. Við setjumst niður með þeim Sveini og Sólveigu og heyrum af þessu óvenjulega ferðalagi. Umsjón: Halla Harðardóttir og Melkorka Ólafsdóttir

Welcome Home: Andy Kaup

We had the opportunity to interview Tyson Kaup, the Executive Artistic Director of Walla Walla Summer Theater, a non-profit theater company in its second season. Tyson, an accomplished actor, director, and producer, grew up in the Walla Walla area and moved to New York at the age of 20. After many years of success in the city and starting a family, he decided to return to his roots. Tyson's goal is to establish a world-class, professional summer theater organization and training program. Ali, Kristin, and I were thrilled to attend their impressive production of Beauty and the Beast, featuring our very own Elaina Dejong from Coeur d'Alene. The show was presented as a fundraiser for the restoration and ongoing support of the Fort Walla Walla Amphitheater, a 1500-seat outdoor venue that will serve as the future home of Walla Walla Summer Theater. Stay tuned to hear more from Tyson about the essential qualities he believes are important for success in the theater industry.

Jason Evans of SilverShark Media speaks to Scott Fisher, Director of ʻĀina Stewardship at Hawai'i Land Trust.  In this podcast Scott talks about what the Hawai'i Land Trust does, the type of lands they look to acquire and/or manage, challenges that come with protecting land in locations with on-going development, the work they are doing to restore a freshwater fishpond originally built around 1500 or so in Waihe'e, an ongoing project at the Nuʻu Refuge in Kaupō aiming to restore a native forest designed to protect coastal wetlands from tsunami events, how people can volunteer to work with Hawai'i Land Trust, and additional ways to learn more and get involved.

""1990. aastatel avastasin ma Stanislav Grofi [1] ja hakkasin lugema tema LSD psühhoteraapia uuringute kirjeldusi,“ meenutab Charles Eisenstein [2] suurepärases podcast'is Harvardi arstipaberitega tervendaja Mellody Hayesiga [3]. „Loetu tagajärjel kaotasin ma peavoolu viimase usu. Tõsiasi, et nii võimas ravim on ebaseaduslik, mõistis mu silmis hukka kogu meie tsivilisatsiooni ja ühiskonna. Kuidas ma saan usaldada meie tervishoiuametnikke ja poliitikuid, kui ravimid on ebaseaduslikud ja mürkidest on saanud ravimid?“Seda üllatavam on uudis, mis tabas meid läinud suvel maailma kuklapoolelt. Nimelt legaliseeris Austraalia esimese riigina maailmas psühhedeelikumide kasutamise vaimuhaiguste ravis [4]. Alates 1. juulist tohivad litsentseeritud psühhiaatrid anda MDMA-d posttraumaatilise stressi ja psilotsübiini raske depressiooni all kannatavatele patsientidele. Luba tuli mõistagi terve rea lisatingimustega, millest kõige piiravam on uue teraapia eeldatav kulu (tuhandetes dollarites), aga see on minu arvates viimase kaheksakümne aasta kõige kaalukam healoomuline poliitiline otsus. BBC pidas oma uudises vajalikuks mainida, et luba anti väga kaalukate huvigruppide tugevale vastuseisule vaatamata. Minu arvates on Austraalia valitsuse otsus märk sellest, et meid kõiki surnuks pigistavasse raudpuuri on tekkinud esimene lootustandev mõra," kirjutasin ma Tähenduse teejuhtide 34. numbri juhtkirjas "Mõra raudpuuris" [5].Täna räägime psühhedeelikumidest ja psühhedeelsest teraapiast Tartu Ülikooli arvutusliku neuroteaduse nooremteaduri Karl Kristjan Kauba ja psühhiaater Viljar Veedega.———————————[1] • Stanislav Grof [2] • Charles Eisenstein: "Kui see asi, mid...

15. apríl 2024 Bankasýslan skilaði á föstudag skýrslu um kaup Landsbankans á tryggingafélaginu TM. Bankasýslan finnur kaupunum og aðdraganda þeirra flest til foráttu og undrast að valin hafi verið eina leiðin sem hvorki kallaði á aðkomu né samþykki hluthafa. Kaupin hafa dregið dilk á eftir sér og sýnist sitt hverjum, eins og Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson fer yfir í umfjöllun sinni um málið. Við heyrum í Helgu Björk Eiríksdóttur, fráfarandi bankaráðsformanni Landsbankans, Tryggva Pálssyni, stjórnarformanni Bankasýslunnar, Lilju Dögg Alfreðsdóttur viðskiptaráðherra og Þórdísi Kolbrúnu Reykfjörð Gylfadóttur, utanríkisráðherra og fyrrverandi fjármálaráðherra. Fyrir réttu ári, 15. apríl 2023, brutust út blóðug átök milli súdanska stjórnarhersins og hinnar vopnuðu hreyfingar RSF í Kartúm, höfuðborg Súdans. Tólf mánuðum síðar eru hátt í tíu milljónir karla, kvenna og barna á vergangi, Tugþúsundir almennra borgara hafa verið drepnar og tugir þúsunda dáið af völdum hungurs og sjúkdóma sem rekja má beint til stríðsins, aðallega börn. Þótt stríðið hafi staðið í ár er sagan á bak við það heldur lengri. Ævar Örn Jósepsson stiklar á stóru í þeirri blóðugu sögu og ræðir við Birnu Þórarinsdóttur, framkvæmdastjóra UNICEF á Íslandi. Mikilvægt er að ræða um ofþyngd og offitu af nærgætni og forðast fordóma, segir Kamilla Dóra Jónsdóttir læknanemi, sem vann að nýlegri rannsókn á þyngd kvenna á meðgöngu.

Það var spilað í miðri viku í ensku úrvalsdeildinni, en umferðin kláraðist í gær með tveimur leikjum. Körfuboltaþjálfarinn Hrafn Kristjánsson mætti á skrifstofu .net í dag og fór yfir umferðina ásamt Gumma og Steinke. Núna erum við að fara inn í lokasprettinn og titilbaráttan hefur sjaldan verið eins spennandi.

Vatnið brennur er nýjasta skáldsaga Gunnars Theodórs Eggertssonar. Hér er á ferðinni tónlistarhrollvekja sem kannar samband tónlistar og ofbeldis, meðal annars, og er innblásinn að hluta af framsækinni sænskri þjóðlagatónlist frá áttunda áratugnum. Hjalti Freyr Ragnarsson pistlahöfundur varð nett stressaður þegar hann las fréttir um að það ætti að banna Elvis-eftirhermur í hjónavígslum í Las Vegas. Á Alþjóðlegum baráttudegi kvenna þann 8.mars síðastliðinn var haldinn ganga og samstöðufundur fyrir Palestínu. Af því tilefni ætlum við að velta fyrir okkur hvítum feminisma.

Við fáum nú að kynnast henni enn dýpra og það var svo ánægjulegt að fá að koma inní hugarheiminn hennar. Hvaða tól grípur hún í þegar hlutirnir verða of hektískir? Hvernig róar hún eigin sál og taugakerfi, hvernig nær hún að púsla öllu saman. Hún gefur einlæg og góð svör ásamt því að hún deilir með okkur áfalli tengda heilsunni, rétt eftir að hún kom heim frá brúðkaupi sínu á Ítalíu.

We are the descendants of Indian indentured laborers, brought to the Caribbean after the abolition of slavery. Our roots run deep, interwoven with Indian, African, European, and Caribbean influences, and forged through centuries of migration, colonialism, survival, and resilience. Yet, our story remains largely untold. As Brenda Beck puts it in a 1992 South Asian Diaspora article, media narratives of our people are often based on derogatory stereotypes that fail to capture the richness and complexity of our heritage.    So, what does it truly mean to be Indo-Caribbean?    For us, it means embracing a history of displacement and triumph, speaking English while cherishing our connection to the Indian language and dialects. It means losing ourselves in Bollywood movies, from the beloved "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" to the soul-stirring "Dil To Pagal Hai" and "Kal Ho Naa Ho." It means dancing to Hindi film songs at birthdays, weddings, and basement jams, despite not knowing the meaning behind all the lyrics.   It means cultivating a love for cricket, music, and dance, drawing from our Caribbean surroundings while honoring the cultural traditions of our ancestors. Our food, a fusion of Indian and Caribbean flavors, showcases the intricate blend of spices and ingredients, enriched with local delights like plantain, cassava and, of course, Guyana Shrimp. Join us for Episode 7 of the Pepper Pot Podcast as we explore the challenges we encountered in forming our identities as descendents of Indian Indentured Workers. Together, we reclaim our narrative, honour the generations before us, and inspire those to come.   Follow and connect with The Peppa Pot Podcast online, we'd love to hear from you!

On this episode of Jesus Listens: Stories of Prayer, we're talking to two co-pastors whose lives intersected in a way that would have a forever kind of impact: Walter Hooker and Andy Kaup from Bellevue Christian Center in Bellevue, Nebraska. Walter worked at their church for many years, and knew Andy as a kid. When Andy became an adult, he decided to go into ministry. When a job for lead pastor came up, Walter and Andy were the top candidates. Andy was chosen for the position, and though Walter could have chosen to be resentful of the choice, he showed up fully to support Andy as lead pastor. Fast forward a few months later and Walter would find himself reaching a crossroads in his health after years long struggle. His prayers for healing were answered in a very unexpected, and personal way through his friend and co-pastor Andy, in this amazing testimony to the power of prayer and how God can bring good out of complicated situations.  Guest's Links Bellevue Christian Center YouTube Facebook: @bellevuechristian.ne Instagram: @bellevuechristian.ne ________________________  Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Jesus Calling Website   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

Pastors Andy and Walter have a 30-year age gap. Andy is white, and Walt is black. Both men were up for the senior pastor position at their church. When Andy got it, it brought division into their church. During this time, Andy was found to be a perfect kidney match for Walter and gave him his kidney. Would that be enough to keep their church together? To learn more about the podcast or access the show notes, visit www.redletterpodcast.com.

Viðmælandi þáttarins er Gunnar Páll Tryggvason. Hann er stofnandi og framkvæmdastjóri Alfa Framtaks. Gunnar er fæddur árið 1977 og alinn upp í Norðurmýrinni, Reykjavík. Hann gekk í Menntaskólann í Hamrahlíð og síðan lá leið hans í Háskóla Íslands þar sem útskrifaðist sem viðskiptafræðingur og síðar lauk hann MBA námi frá Wharton Business School í Bandaríkjunum. Gunnar starfaði lengi í fyrirtækjaráðgjöf Kaupþings á Íslandi og í Bretlandi og svo sem fjárfestingastjóri í framtakssjóð Kaupþing Singer & Friedlander. Árið 2009 stofnaði Gunnar Icora Partners sem starfaði á sviði fyrirtækjaráðgjafar og endurskipulagningar fyrirtækja og lauk fjölda verkefna víðsvegar um Evrópu. Árið 2018 stofnaði Gunnar Páll síðan rekstrarfélagið Alfa Framtak sem safnaði í 7 milljarða kr. framtakssjóð sem hefur verið fjárfest í stöndugum íslenskum rekstarfyrirtækjum, oftast sem meirihlutaeigandi. Nú nýverið, árið 2022, safnaði Alfa Framtak í annan framtakssjóð sem er 15 milljarða kr. sem fjárfestir í stöndugum rekstrarfyrirtækjum, fjölskyldufyrirtækjum í kynslóðaskiptum eða vaxtarfyrirtækjum. Í þættinum ræðir Gunnar m.a. um rekstur framtakssjóða, mótandi áhrif fjármálahrunsins 2008, helstu lexíur á ferlinum og deilir ýmsum skemmtilegum sögum. Þessi þáttur er í boði Icelandair.

"Covid niðursveiflan var miklu harðari en ég bjóst við og ég held að niðursveiflan núna sé miklu alvarlegri en nokkurn tímann Covid." Þórður Pálsson er forstöðumaður fjárfestinga hjá Sjóvá og fyrrverandi yfirmaður greiningardeildar Kaupþings. Í þættinum er farið yfir breitt svið efnahagsástandsins í dag: Áhrif Covid á hlutabréfaverð Lækkun stýrivaxta og áhrif á markaði Verðbólguspá Þórðar Almenningur vs. fagfjárfestar á hlutabréfamarkaði Gírun í kerfinu Órói og kostir þess að halda á lausu fé Peningaprentun og Seðlabankinn Fasteignamarkaðurinn - getur íbúðarverð hækkað endalaust og erum við í bólu?

“Ég hafði ekki áhuga á að vera í þessu lífi eina sekúndu í viðbót. Ég ætlaði aldrei að snerta kjuðana aftur og það var svo góð tilfinning. Það er besta tilfinning sem ég hef fengið að hætta í Quarashi.” Sölvi Blöndal einsetti sér að verða besti trommari í heimi og nýstofnuð hljómsveit hans, Quarashi, var fínasti vettvangur til þess. Quarashi sló í gegn á heimsvísu, komu Jinx á Billborad listann, hituðu upp fyrir Eminiem og Prodigy, túruðu fyrir ofuraðdáendur í Japan en hljómsveitarmeðlimir gátu ekki meir. Með sína maníu-nálgun á lífið settist Sölvi, þá 30 ára, á skólabekk með íslenskum aðdáendum sínum. Eftir útskrift er hann ráðinn inn í Kaupþing af Ásgeiri Jónssyni, þaðan yfir til Gamma og árið 2017 er hann kjörinn hagfræðingur ársins.

Ragnar Jónasson labbaði inn í bókaforlag 17 ára gamall bauðst til að þýða Agöthu Christie bækurnar vinsælu. Næstu 15 ár, í gegnum lögfræðinám, störf sem fréttamaður og lögræðingur Kaupþings þýddi hann bækur á hliðarlínunni en það var ekki fyrr en í fjármálahruninu 2008 sem Ragnar, bankastarfsmaðurinn, staldraði við og ákvað að reyna á bókakskrifin. Sú ákvörðun bar ávöxt: 1. sæti í Frakklandi, 1. sæti í Bretlandi, 1. sæti í Þýskalandi, 3 bækur samtímis á top 10 listanum í Þýskalandi og 2 milljónir eintaka seld. Ekki eins og hann hafi hætt aðalstarfi sínu í Arion banka heldur gefur hann sér tíma á hverjum einasta degi til að skrifa bækur eftir vinnu. Við ræðum leiðina að skrifunum, störfin hans áður, núverandi störf og m.a. vinnu hans með Controlant, viðskiptamódelið á bakvið bókasölu og hvernig fótboltaleikur í Skotlandi kom Ragnari á kortið.
