Let's talk about Air New Zealand. Look, if I was Air New Zealand, I would feel pretty beaten up after the weekend's opinion pieces. Bruce Cotterill wrote a piece in one newspaper complaining that if Air New Zealand want to charge as much as they do, then they have to do the job better and be on time more often. And then, Sam Stubbs wrote a piece in another newspaper telling them to stop overcharging domestic travellers. Now, I cannot explain the timing. I can't explain why both those guys wrote harsh pieces about the same airline on the same weekend. But what's weirder about it is that I almost did exactly the same thing. I almost had a bit of a rant about Air New Zealand myself this weekend, because I had to pull out of an event on account of their ticket prices. What it was is the husband and I were planning to go to a thing in Wellington. We started doing all the organizing, had the babysitter covered, organized to work out of Wellington for the day - and we went to book the flights and saw the flight prices. It was pretty close to $1000 return per person, and I could not justify that. That is ridiculous. Now, I don't have a problem, as I've said 1000 times to you, with Air New Zealand making as much money as it wants to. I wanted to make money, I'm a shareholder - and we all are shareholders through the Government. It does have to balance that with customer loyalty though, because Air New Zealand is now so overpriced that I cannot justify using it. For the first time in my working life, I don't have Koru anymore, I cannot justify the expense. And while I have the same problem as Bruce Cotterill, I don't want to fly Jetstar out of loyalty to Air New Zealand. But I reckon, give it a year. Because I reckon this time next year, I'm going to be flying Jetstar. The flight from Auckland to Wellington on Air New Zealand for the event was $500 per person, just one way, right? Auckland to Wellington, $500. The same flight on Jetstar at a better time was about $150. That's Air New Zealand's problem right there, they're chasing their customers away. One day, they're gonna wake up - and they don't realize it now - but they're gonna be surprised at how popular Jetstar is and they're gonna regret the fact that heaps of us tried out the orange bird and found it's not that bad. And Air New Zealand will want us back and struggle to get us back. And maybe the reason that Bruce and Sam - and maybe even me - criticized Air New Zealand on the same weekend is that we're only saying what everybody's already thinking.

Een diner op de Noordpool, kite-skiën op Antarctica of racen op een vulkaan; vermogenden kiezen steeds vaker de meest extreme ‘luxepedities'. Henry Reid had de Matterhorn ‘gebeast' door binnen zes uur naar boven en weer naar beneden te klimmen, en zocht nu naar een nieuwe uitdaging. Zo belandde de eenenveertigjarige op een speedboat die met tachtig kilometer per uur over de Noorse Trollfjord suisde, voorzien van survivalpak, skiboots en ski's om de verse sneeuw uit te proberen. De projectontwikkelaar uit Berkshire had samen met een groep vrienden wekenlang getraind voor de drie uur lange klim – en afdaling – van een 650 meter hoge berg te beklimmen, door kakelverse sneeuw. ‘Ik wist dat dit een van de fysiek uitdagendste dingen was die ik ooit zou doen,' zegt hij. De wandeling door de sneeuw vol kick-turns en zigzags, met ‘skins' op hun ski's om de helling op te kunnen lopen, was uitputtend. Maar volgens Reid was het het waard toen ze bij de ijzige afgrond aankwamen en zich ‘konden voorstellen hoe de Scandinaviërs op de mythen van de Walkuren waren gekomen'. Toen ze na de terugreis door sneeuw tot aan hun middel weer bij de boot aankwamen was het tijd voor een bezoek aan een plaatselijke herberg genaamd Metro, naar zijn oorsprong als meteorologiestation. Na een diner bereid door een Italiaanse chef kwam de eigenaar van Metro, Matthias, ‘naar ons toe en zei: “Als jullie nog nooit het noorderlicht hebben gezien, moet je nu even naar buiten gaan,”' vertelt Reid. ‘De hemel werd groen, met witte en blauwe strepen; het was de perfecte afsluiting van een perfecte dag.” Het is de norm van een nieuw soort reiziger om met extreme vakanties de grenzen van het menselijke uithoudingsvermogen op te zoeken, op zowel fysiek als mentaal vlak. Dit zijn niet het soort avonturiers die in juni 2023 in de zwarte, ijzige diepte van de Atlantische Oceaan omkwamen in de Titan-onderzeeër van Ocean Gate. Denk eerder aan de techbro's uit de film Mountainhead van Jesse Armstrong, die in identieke oranje skipakken de top van een berg in Utah beklimmen en daar neerstrijken om uit te rusten en hun netto vermogens met elkaar te vergelijken. Niet alleen de sneeuw was diep, maar ook hun portefeuille. Gewoontjes Nu recente rapporten aantonen dat de Mount Everest te vol en vervuild raakt – en dergelijke klimsessies inmiddels zo populair zijn dat ze te gewoontjes zijn geworden voor vermogende wereldmigranten – krijgen onaangeraakte bergtoppen, de krochten van de zee en zelfs de ruimte steeds meer aantrekkingskracht. Neem Henry Cookson. Hij begon een nieuwe carrière waarbij hij anderen meeneemt naar het einde van de wereld en – als het meezit – weer terug. ‘Ik was een bankier met overgewicht die veel te veel tijd doorbracht in de Londense cafés. Mijn leven veranderde toen ik een uitnodiging ontving voor de Scott Dunn Polar Challenge,' vertelt hij vanaf de top van een alp, waar hij eindelijk tijd heeft mij telefonisch te woord te staan. Hij won de race van 580 kilometer naar de magnetische noordpool en brak met zijn tijd van elf dagen het parcoursrecord. Vervolgens wandelde en kiteski'de hij naar het zuidelijke punt van onbereikbaarheid – het punt in Antarctica dat in alle richtingen het verst van de zee ligt. Op 19 januari 2007, 48 dagen na het vertrek van het Novolazarevskaya-station, vestigde hij met zijn drie teamgenoten een wereldrecord; ze waren de eersten die de plek bereikten zonder gebruik te maken van motorvoertuigen. ‘Als je de juiste mensen om je heen hebt kan je de meest wonderbaarlijke dingen bereiken’ ‘Ik wist helemaal niet hoe je een poolexpeditie ondernam. Ik kon niet langlaufen en was zeker niet fit. Maar als je de juiste mensen om je heen hebt kan je de meest wonderbaarlijke dingen bereiken,' vertelt hij. Met zijn bedrijf Cookson Adventures, dat hij na die reis oprichtte, kunnen klanten overal heen. Zo biedt hij een diner op de Noordpool aan, waarbij klanten vanuit Canada, waar het ijs dik genoeg is, naar het poolgebied reizen, en in een zogeheten jump plane naar de Noordpool vliegen, waar ze vervolgens naar een gedekte tafel op het ijs skydiven. ‘Sommige cliënten kunnen al skydiven, anderen worden aan een expert vastgemaakt,' vertelt Cookson.Het ijs rondom de noordpool drijft rond en het is best een opgave om in te schatten welke richting het op gaat. Het is de bedoeling dat ze zich tegen de tijd dat het kamp staat en de gasten per parachute arriveren precies op de pool bevinden. ‘Iedereen wil een foto waarop de GPS bevestigt dat ze op de pool staan,' legt Cookson uit. Nadat de gasten een nacht op het ijs hebben doorgebracht zet Cooksons team een sauna met koelbad klaar om de gasten goed wakker te krijgen. De prijs: ‘Vanaf 1,2 miljoen dollar [ongeveer 1,04 miljoen euro],' zegt hij, met nadruk op ‘vanaf'. Na een overnachting op de Noordpool naar de sauna en tussen de sessies een duik onder het ijs. – © Cookson Adventures Geen prijslimiet Deze nieuwe niche voor reizen voor amateuravonturiers draagt de vreselijke naam luxepedities. Volgens onderzoek van reisconsulent Grand View bedraagt deze sector wereldwijd al ruim 1,4 biljoen dollar, met een verwachte jaarlijkse groei van 7,9 procent. Zo veel nullen op de rekening vallen in het niet naast de belofte van een ultieme uitdaging. ‘Als er een prijslimiet is, hebben we die nog niet gevonden,' aldus directeur Kevin Jackson van EXP Journeys, die met het Dineh-volk in Noord-Amerika samenwerkt om voor het eerst een expeditie naar de top vande Tower Butte te organiseren, een 300 meter lange rotsachtige toren in Arizona met uitzicht op Lake Powell, om daar vervolgens te kamperen. ‘Zo heb je je privébergtop,' vertelt hij. ‘Het is nooit eerder gedaan. Het uitzicht bij zonsopkomst en zonsondergang is een van de mooiste in de wereld.' Na op de 23 meter lange woonboot Sumerset op Lake Powell te hebben overnacht, wandelen de gasten door de ravijnen naar de rotspilaar. Die beklimmen ze vervolgens van de zuidoostelijke zijde met reeds bevestigde touwen en de Jumartechniek – een soort touwladder. Eenmaal aan de top slaan ze hun kamp op met chef Shon Foster, die een ‘veredelde Navajo-tacomaaltijd' voor ze bereidt. De volgende dag gebruiken ze de touwen om weer naar beneden te abseilen. De laatste dag is minder uitputtend. Die besteden ze bij Amangiri, een post van Aman, de hotelgroep met de filosofie ‘less is more' (totdat je de rekening ziet). De reis kost 20.000 dollar per persoon, uitgaande van een tienkoppige groep. Wrang detail: de dodelijke Titanic-expeditie kostte 250.000 dollar de man. ‘Je wilt niet graag terugkijken en denken: “God, wat had ik dat graag eens geprobeerd”’ Waar komt deze toename in luxepedities vandaan? Voor de techbro-scene van Mountainhead spelen het gevaar voor eigen leven en de kans om jezelf te bewijzen spreken een rol. Maar Geordie Mackay-Lewis en Jimmy Carroll, voormalig kapiteins in het Britse Leger en oprichters van Pelorus, de firma achter Reid's Noorse odyssee, hebben het niet zo op opschepperij en noemen een andere motivatie. ‘Je groeit, ontwikkelt en leert een heleboel over jezelf als je doorzet en jezelf uitdaagt,' legt Carroll uit. ‘Klanten merken vaak dat ze van dit soort reizen weerbaarder worden, meer waardering krijgen voor teamwork onder druk en dat ze, als het leven wordt gereduceerd tot zijn puurste vorm, beter gaan inzien wat er echt toe doet.' Reid stemt hiermee in: ‘Voor mij draait het niet om het patsen. Skiën is een van mijn favoriete bezigheden met vrienden. Je wilt niet graag terugkijken en denken: “God, wat had ik dat graag eens geprobeerd.” Die reis naar Noorwegen wilde ik al jaren maken. Voor mij en mijn vrienden betekent het veel, het gaat niet om de buitenwereld.' Na de zware klim kozen de vrienden ervoor de laatste twee dagen van hun Arctic Elements ski-ervaring over te gaan op heli-skiën, waarbij ze zich op tussen de 600 en 1500 meter hoogte vanuit de helikopter naar beneden lieten vallen. Geprikkeld en uitgedaagd Lauren Ho, reisdirecteur van de wereldwijde lifestylebijbel Wallpaper magazine, beaamt dat veel reizigers verlangen naar ‘vervreemding, ontdekking en de mogelijkheid op tijdens het reizen en geprikkeld en uitgedaagd te worden'. Op weg van Londen naar Saudi-Arabië legt ze uit: ‘Het is nooit zo makkelijk geweest om ergens te komen, maar tegelijkertijd is het nooit zo moeilijk geweest om te weten waarom. Ooit reisden we om de wereld te ontdekken, nu boeken we hotels en restaurants vanwege hun beoordeling op Tripadvisor, allemaal geselecteerd door algoritmen en voor ons gemak geoptimaliseerd. We bewegen ons door de wereld zonder al te veel uitdagingen. De plekken die er echt toe doen – en die ons bijblijven – zijn de plekken die provoceren, die ons confronteren en waar we nog lang na de reis aan terugdenken.' ‘Het is nooit zo makkelijk geweest om ergens te komen, maar tegelijkertijd is het nooit zo moeilijk geweest om te weten waarom’ De door The White Lotus geïnspireerde trend om het nieuwste ‘it'-resort te bezoeken en op sociale media ervaringen met vaak gekunstelde luxe te delen, zet sommige welgestelde reizigers ertoe aan nieuwe horizonten op te zoeken. ‘Voordat het iets werd om te documenteren diende reizen om te ervaren. Men ging niet op reis om in contact te komen met de buitenwereld, maar om eraan te ontsnappen. Het was niet performatief maar persoonlijk. Geen publiek, enkel de spanning om op een plek te komen die niet eens doorhad dat je was gearriveerd.' Luxereizenonsulent en hoofd van Brown en Hudson Philippe Brown is beaamt dat de drukke plekken, bekend van Instagram, er inmiddels ‘goedkoop' uitzien voor rijke reizigers die ze al eerder bezochten. Hij ontwijkt de trendy ervaringen en kiest in plaats daarvan voor ‘zeldzame, ongebruikelijke paden, die juist resoneren met mensen die alles al hebben.' Reisagent Jaclyn Charles, oprichter van Sienna Charles, beklaagt ‘de celebrityvorming van het reizen. Neem bijvoorbeeld Jeff Bezos en Lauren Sánchez.' Het stel vierde hun bruiloft door in Venetië een week lang te feesten op Koru, hun superjacht van 500 miljoen dollar. Charles, die voormalig VS-president George Bush en zangeres Mariah Carey onder haar klanten mag rekenen, biedt reizen op maat aan waarmee men volledig off the grid kan gaan. ‘We hoeven niet naar Mount Everest om iets speciaals te creëren.' Of naar Venetië in een superjacht. ‘Met de juiste gidsen kunnen “extreme” omgevingen veilig worden voor niet- ontdekkingsreizigers' Mackay-Lewis en Carroll merken op dat verbeteringen op het gebied van veiligheid het misschien nog niet makkelijk, maar zeker praktischer maken om vrijwel ieder avontuur aan te gaan – behalve dan naar de maan reizen, maar ook dat is waarschijnlijk slechts een kwestie van tijd. Mackay-Lewis, die op een foto op de Pelorus-website hand in poot staat afgebeeld met een wolf, zegt: ‘Met de juiste gidsen en voorbereiding kunnen “extreme” omgevingen veilig worden voor niet-ontdekkingsreizigers en niet-extreme reizigers.' Zo is het vandaag de dag mogelijk om vier actieve vulkanen in Nicaragua te beklimmen binnen 24 uur, een prestatie die Carroll de ‘Le Mans 24-hour challenge' noemt, ‘maar dan met vulkanen in plaats van auto's. Het gaat om een van de minst bezochte en toch een van de mooiste plekken op aarde, met actieve lavavelden.' 82.000 euro Voor degenen die na deze uitdaging wat willen ontspannen, organiseert Pelorus een uitstapje van een paar dagen naar het privé-eiland Calala, naast de kust van Nicaragua, waar diëtisten, wellness- en herstelexperts beschikbaar zijn. Een avontuur van acht dagen, inclusief de challenge van 24 uur en een week op het eiland, kost vanaf 95.000 dollar (ongeveer 82.000 euro) per persoon, uitgaande van een groep van vier personen. Naast veiligheid speelt voldoening een grote rol. Toen een rijke familie een reis naar de Noordpool aanvroeg, organiseerde Pelorus een pakket met genoeg activiteiten om een hele David Attenborough-documentaire mee te vullen, inclusief pinguïns voor de kleuters, een gletsjerwandeling voor de grootouders en een ijsbeersafari op een Zodiacboot voor het hele gezelschap. Lunch werd geserveerd op de rand van een ijskap, op een grote tafel geflankeerd door met bont beklede stoelen. De tafel is gedekt voor een familite op ‘expeditie’ op de Noordpool. – © Pelorus Reizen naar de noordelijkste plek op aarde zijn niet ongewoon voor Pelorus, wiens reizen op een luxejacht rondom Spitsbergen vanaf 20.000 dollar per persoon (exclusief vlucht) worden aangeboden. Degenen die voet aan wal willen zetten op de Noordpool kunnen eventueel met een OceanSky-schip op reis, waar, als ze weer terug aan boord zijn, de klanten worden vergast op sterrendiner. Zijn dit soort extreme reisjes het geld waard, al maken ze maar een klein deukje in de portemonnee van de een- procenter? ‘Honderd procent!' zegt Mackay-Lewis terwijl hij de zoveelste flinke cheque incasseert. Hij wijst ons op de benodigde creativiteit om uit te blinken op de reismarkt. ‘Als ze naar een normaal luxueus reisbureau gaan en zeggen: “Ik wil naar Namibië,” staat ze waarschijnlijk een standaardrondreis te maken. Er zit geen verhaal achter. Er is geen echte onderdompeling bij inheemse gemeenschappen en geen aandacht voor natuurbehoud.' Donaties Cookson beaamt dat maatschappelijke baten op langere termijn een krachtige prikkel zijn voor luxpeditionisten. Hij wijst erop dat na zulke avonturen de donaties snel volgen – of het nu gaat om weeshuizen, de filantropische stichtingen van de reisorganisaties of om hoge toegangs-/permit-fees voor ‘onbereikbare' locaties die als donatie worden gepresenteerd. Om het Bhutaanse Koninklijke Park Manas te mogen bezoeken, waar men naar de bedreigde Bengaalse tijger en de Aziatische olifant op zoek gaat, of om op nieuwe routes in het heuvelgebied van het Himalayagebergte te wandelen, moeten Cooksons klanten een lokale ngo, school of conservatieproject steunen – bovenop de standaardprijs van 250.000 voor de tiendaagse reis. ‘Het koninklijk huis van Bhutan staat erop dat groepsreizen een duidelijk doel hebben en een bijdrage leveren aan het land,' legt Cookson uit. Henry Cookson op de Antarctic Pole of Inaccessibility. – © Cookson Adventures Zelf doet hij daar graag nog een schepje bovenop. ‘We hebben plannen om een uniek en nooit eerder vertoond eco-kamp te stichten op een prachtige plek in Groenland, een bestemming waar we steeds meer organiseren,' zegt hij. Het gebied ontwikkelt momenteel een internationale toerismesector – zo werd er vorig jaar een nieuw vliegveld geopend, met nog twee in het vooruitzicht. Niet alle welgestelde vakantieaanbieders hebben echter de duurzaamheidsboodschap meegekregen. ‘Sommigen lijkt het helemaal niets te kunnen schelen,' aldus Mackay-Lewis. Dus ‘rekent Pelorus het door aan de klant', met een extra ‘planeetrekening' op elke factuur, en een heffing van 1 procent voor natuurbehoud. Luxpeditionisten moeten er van hen aan geloven – of hun miljoenenbudget voor avonturen ergens anders besteden.

Julian Jacobs and Ryan Kado have been pushing themselves within the sport and the sport itself for well over two decades. It's always been for the love of driving hard, building cars that push the limits of cool, and doing it all with a smile. Sitting down and recapping all the insane experiences they have had all because of their love for drifting is nothing but humbling. These two have always been about driving hard, putting on a show, and sharing the energy they love about drifting with as many people as they can. That's what Super D is all about. With Animal Style now reaching fifteen years, they are still finding ways to keep pushing the teams driving and impact on the sport. I am lucky to call these two friends and to have shared some of the incredible ride with them.  Guests: https://www.instagram.com/ryankado/https://www.instagram.com/animaljuju/Sponsors: https://goodest.short.gy/303protect for the best car protectant you can buyhttps://koruworks.com/ 15% off their Koru products using “goodestboi”https://tirestreets.com/goodest “goodest" for a discount on the whole site!https://goodest.short.gy/tweed_auto_garage To export parts, cars, or anything on the Japan sidehttps://www.instagram.com/golden_era_engine_lab/Goodest Co: https://goodestco.com (grab some merch to support the podcast!)Patreon: https://patreon.com/Goodestcast Get episodes, merch, and announcements early!Host IG: https://www.instagram.com/palmer_sndrsn/Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/goodestcast/ 

Turkey is among a league of revisionist powers who are challenging the world order. Erdogan and his Islamist movement have aimed to create the “New Turkey”, preparing for a future that is less dependent on Western treaty allies and with an alliance structure of its own. In New Turkey and the Far Right: How Reactionary Nationalism Remade a Country (I. B. Tauris, 2025), Selim Koru discusses the political ideas driving Turkey's regime change and foreign policy. It de-exceptionalizes Turkish politics, arguing that the “New Turkey” is part of a global trend of far-right nationalist movements like that of Donald Trump in the United States or Narendra Modi in India. In particular, the book reveals how far-right nationalist strands in Turkey have been nurtured by an existential resentment of the West, similar to those we are seeing in Russia. In tracing this resentment and its historical roots, the book invites policymakers and experts to better understand the new relationships Turkey is building with fellow revisionists including China and Russia, as well as Turkey's involvement in the wars in Syria and Ukraine and Erdogan's grand strategy for expansion. The book is based on interviews with senior politicians and civil servants from across the country's political spectrum. It also benefits from the author's personal knowledge of Turkey's far-right and Islamist traditions. His work can be regularly found at his Substack, Kulturkampf. Learn more about your ad choices.

Số liệu thống kê cho thấy, 98,7% doanh nghiệp Việt Nam hiện nay là doanh nghiệp nhỏ và vừa (SMEs). Trong đó, doanh nghiệp siêu nhỏ chiếm tới 69,3%, doanh nghiệp nhỏ chiếm 24,5%, và chỉ khoảng 3,5% là doanh nghiệp vừa. Chính vì vậy, phát triển khu vực SMEs đã được xác định là chiến lược lâu dài, nhất quán và xuyên suốt trong chương trình hành động của Chính phủ, trở thành nhiệm vụ trọng tâm trong chính sách phát triển kinh tế quốc gia (Tạp chí Quản lý nhà nước, 2025).Trong bối cảnh doanh nghiệp nhỏ và vừa chiếm gần như toàn bộ nền kinh tế, Koru Capital là một công ty đầu tư và tư vấn chuyên biệt, tập trung đồng hành cùng SMEs trên hành trình phát triển bền vững.

Jūrmalā šajā nedēļas nogalē sāksies astotais Starptautiskais Baltijas jūras koru konkurss, kurā sacentīsies astoņi pamatīgu atlasi izturējuši amatierkori no Eiropas un Honkongas. Kopš kļūšanas par vienu no sešiem pasaulē prestižākā Eiropas koru Grand Prix posmiem Baltijas Jūras koru konkursu pamana arvien spēcīgāki kolektīvi, kas grib sevi pierādīt starptautiskas žūrijas priekšā un iegūt „zelta biļeti” uz Eiropas Grand Prix finālu. Neviens Latvijas koris gan šogad Jūrmalā nestartēs, toties veseli divi – „Sōla” un „Kamēr…” – pēc mēneša spēkosies Eiropas Grand Prix finālā Spānijas pilsētā Tolosā. Pirmais Baltijas jūras koru konkurss Jūrmalā notika 2016.gadā, bet ideju par šādu ikgadēju, starptautisku augstākā līmeņa konkursu Latvijā, diriģents Jānis Ozols loloja jau ilgi pirms tam, ar saviem koriem piedaloties konkursos ārzemēs. Savai iecerei Jānis Ozols saņēma pretimnākšanu no kūrortpilsētas Jūrmalas, kas bija ieinteresēta pagarināt tūrisma sezonu, piedāvāja konkursam finansiālu atbalstu un Dzintaru koncertzāles skatuvi. Jauno koru konkursu Ozols apņēmās veidot kā esenci no labākā, ko bija piedzīvojis ārzemju konkursos, un uzreiz ar skaidru mērķi – ar laiku iekļūt pasaulē prestižākajā kormūzikas konkursu jeb Eiropas koru Grand Prix (European Grand Prix for Choral Singing) ķēdē. Lai gan nosaukumā ir vārds „Eiropa”, tas ir magnēts visas pasaules labākajiem amatierkoriem. Un šādi posmi ir tikai seši – Tolosā (Spānijā), Mariborā (Slovēnijā), Debrecenā (Ungārijā), Areco (Itālijā), Varnā (Bulgārijā) un – ilgus gadus – arī Tūrā (Francijā). Tūras konkursa rīkotāji finansiālu apsvērumu dēļ no dalības atteicās, un pērn vietu ieguva Jūrmala. Astotais Starptautiskais Baltijas jūras koru konkurss Jūrmalā sāksies piektdien ar atklāšanas koncertu Dubultu baznīcā, obligāto un brīvo programmu kori Dzintaru koncertzāles Mazajā zālē dziedās sestdien, bet svētdienas rītā paši labākie sacentīsies par Grand Prix un ceļazīmi uz Mariboru, kur nākamgad notiks Eiropas Grand Prix fināls. Jūrmala šo finālkonkursu rotācijas kārtībā plāno uzņemt 2028.gadā.  Sekot līdzi astotajam Starptautiskajam Baltijas jūras konkursam nedēļas nogalē varēsiet gan klātienē, Dzintaru koncertzāles Mazajā zālē, gan tiešraidēs no konkursa kanālā TV24 un konkursa mājaslapā. Un tā būs iespēja dzirdēt arī Latvijā retāk atskaņotu kormūziku – piemēram, pērn klausītāji varēja dzirdēt arī filipīniešu tautasdziesmu „Taurenītis laukā”, ko izpildīja konkursa uzvarētāji IMUSICAPELLA.

Air New Zealand has unveiled its plan for its new flagship Koru Lounge at Auckland International Airport. Air New Zealand customer general manager Alisha Armstrong spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Aizvadeiti daleibnīku skaita ziņā vīni nu īspaideiguokūs Latvejis Školu jaunuotnis dzīšmu i deju svātku, kas Reigā nedelis garumā puļcēja vaira nakai 38 000 dzīduotuoju, doncuotuoju, muziku i vysaidu cytu muokslinīciskūs kolektivu daleibnīku nu Latvejis i diasporys. Pādejī itaida mārūga školānu dzīšmu svātki nūtyka pyrma desmit godu – 2015. godā. Ar eipašu gondarejumu nu svātku iz sātu atsagrīze Latgolys dzīduotuoji, puorvadūt vairuokys bolvys, jūs vydā i Bolvu Muzykys školys kors, kas nu svātku atbrauce ar „Koru karūs” dabuotū Lelū bolvu. „Vysa estrade pīsacēle kuojuos i vysa publika ari beja kuojuos. Taids gūds! Itys ir gūds i miļzeiga atbiļdeiba mums kai bolvys sajiemiejim!” – par augstuokuos bolvys sajimšonys sajiutom stuosta kora vadeituoja Linda Vītuola (Vītola). „Prīca, gondarejums i breižim pat nareala sajiuta – voi tys ir nūtics ar mums.” 76 Latvejis izgleiteibys īstuožu lobuokūs koru konkurencē pyrmū treju vītu sajiemieju vydā ir ari Rēzeknis suokumškolys zānu kors i Tiļžys pamatškolys kors.   „Pādejuos dīnuos kotrā braucīnī iz Mežaparku es paspieju īmigt autobusā, tamuos 5–7 minotuos. I, atbraukdams sātā, vēļ navaru izgulēt tū mīga bodu. Nūgurums ir sasakruojs, partū ka tu naesi tikai tai kai lelajūs svātkūs – nūdzīdi i atsapyut, – ite tev vysu laiku ir juobyut ar bārnim – juodasaver, juopabaroj, kab vysi ir apsavylkuši, kab vysim ID kartis ir pajimtys, vīnkuorši vysu laiku esi darbeibā,” svātku sajiutuos aizviņ ir Rēzeknis suokumškolys zānu kora vadeituojs Jānis Veličko (Veļičko). Kai aizvadeiti svātki, kaidys atzinis i sajiutys, par tū sarunā ar Leluos bolvys sajiemieju Bolvu muzykys školys kora i ari Tiļžys pamatškolys kora vadeituoju Lindu Vītuolu, kura iz dzīšmu i deju svātkim beja aizbraukuse kūpā ar četrim kolektivim. Taipat sarunā pīsadola ari Bolvu muzykys školys kora vīna nu dzīduotuoju Angelīna Krivošejeva, Rēzeknis suokumškolys zānu kora vīns nu dzīduotuoju Gabriels Sarkans, Rēzeknis suokumškolys zānu kora „Vokālā iedvesma” dirigents Jānis Veličko, kurs sajiems ari fonda „Lāčplēsis” īdybynuotū Luočplieša gūda zeimi par nūzeimeigu, ilggadeju īguļdejumu dzīšmu svātku kusteibys atteisteibā i jaunuos audzis patriotiskā audzynuošonā. „Mes varim viņ apskaust lelū školu īspieju izavēlēt, atlaseit. Kod īt sastuovi ar 80 dzīduotuojim, kai tys beja finalā, tod Tiļžys kors i Bolvu muzykys školys kors skaitliski beja poši mozuokī,” par jaunīšu koru kusteibu sovā pusē soka Linda Vītuola. „Mož mums ite, proviņcē, vīnkuorši ir vēļ leluoks dorbs juoīguļdej, kab koč kas byutu. Mes navarim izalaseit 2–3 lobuokūs bārnus nu klasis, voi nu dzīd, vysmoz maņ Tiļžā, gondreiž vysi, voi kora nav. I es tū saprotu pyrma diveju godu – ka es napajimšu pyrmklasnīkus, tod dzīdi voi raudi, kora nabyus.” Taipat obi kora vadeituoji ari izsver muzykys pedagogu tryukumu. „Nūdaļā vuicuos četri dirigenti pa vysim četrim kursim. Ogruok vīnā kursā beja 10–12, ka na vairuok. Ari Muzykys akademejā par muzykys pedagogu vuicuos aizviņ mozuok i mozuok, partū tryukums nūteikti byus lels. I vysod meklej pedagogus, deļtam ka jauni naīt. I godūs pīredziejušī spīsti daudz struoduot, tik deļ tuo, ka školuos nav pedagogu,” soka Jānis Veličko, i Linda jam pīkreit: „Nui, muzykys pedagogu tryukums i kuri vadeitu ari korus, ir cīši svareigs.”

Balvu mūzikas skolas koris, iegūstot XIII Latvijas Skolu jaunatnes dziesmu un deju svētku koru konkursa fināla jeb „Koru karos” Lielo balvu, vēl dzīvo vārdos neaprakstāmās sajūtās. Kora diriģente Linda Vītola saņem daudzu jo daudzu gan kolēģu, gan līdzcilvēku atzinīgus vārdus par koristu sniegumu. Interesējamies, kā koris nonācis pie tik laba skanējuma, ko domā par konkursu paši dziedātāji. Balvu mūzikas skolā pulcējušies Lielās balvas ieguvēji – Balvu mūzikas skolas koristi un viņu skolotāja, diriģente Linda Vītola, koncertmeistars Viktors Bormanis un dziedātāju mammas Iluta Jaundžeikare, Irīna Krivošejeva un Ilze Strupka, kas bērnus pavadīja uz Dziesmu un deju svētkiem, juta līdzi koru finālā un piedzīvoja neaizmirstamas emocijas, kad Mežaparka Lielajā estrādē, noslēguma koncertā „Te-aust” paziņoja, ka Lielo balvu iegūst Balvu koris. Dziedātājas atzīst, ka daudziem birušas asaras, tas bijis liels šoks, bijis pārsteigums, bet arī cerējuši. Noslēguma koncerta ģenerālmēģinājumā tika paziņoti Koru konkursa fināla 1.–3. vietu ieguvēji katrā kategorijā un grupā. Un tur tika nosaukts vēl viens Lindas Vītolas vadītais koris no Tilžas pamatskolas, koru sacensībās iegūstot godpilno trešo vietu. Un tas, ka arī mazais Tilžas pamatskola koris ieguva vietu, Lindai Vītolai ir īpaši. Lielā balva ir liela atbildība, bet ar to nekas nebeidzas, atzīst Linda Vītola: „Es teicu saviem jauniešiem – mums, mīļie, ir jādzied, lai pēc tam ir gandarījuma sajūta, pat sapņos nerādījās, ka būs Lielā balva, ne tādēļ mēs nākam, bet lai ir labi, godprātīgi padarīta darba sajūta. Strādājot ar kori, arī saviem dziedātājiem mēģinu stāstīt – koris nav ne ātri, ne viegli, tas ir ilglaicīgs maratons, kurā strādājot, gala rezultātā kaut kas var sanākt, ir jābūt gan pēctecībai, gan regularitātei, arī disciplīnai jābūt.”

KARATE OLD WAYS & NEW POWER GENERATION Steve Lowe Interview "Karate was never meant to be a sport." "The fighting came first; the kata came from that." "We should not overlook the stuff that's gone before us." In this riveting episode of the World of Martial Arts Show, host Mick Tully welcomes the remarkable Sensei Steve Lowe, a true paradox in the martial arts community. Known for his humour and warmth, Sensei Steve embodies the essence of karate while taking its deeper principles seriously. The conversation kicks off with Steve's early experiences in martial arts, ignited by a childhood filled with challenges on the rough council estates of Wigan. His journey from being bullied to discovering the power of Southern Praying Mantis kung fu under the guidance of his friend's father is both inspiring and relatable. As he transitioned into Shotokan karate, Steve shares the lessons learned from his varied experiences, including a brief stint in the nightclub security scene, which forced him to reassess his martial arts approach. Delving into the philosophy of karate, Steve passionately argues that karate was never meant to be a sport. He emphasises the importance of understanding its roots in self-protection and the necessity of power generation in practical applications. The discussion touches on the evolution of martial arts, the significance of kata, and how they can be applied in real-world scenarios, revealing the depth of knowledge that Steve has acquired over the years. Listeners will appreciate Steve's candid reflections on the current state of martial arts, where traditional practices often clash with modern interpretations. He shares insights into his dojo, Koru, which serves as a sanctuary for those seeking genuine martial arts training, free from the commercialisation that often plagues the industry. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for martial arts enthusiasts and anyone interested in the deeper meanings behind their practice. Join Mick and Sensei Steve as they explore the intricate world of martial arts, filled with laughter, insights, and a shared passion for the ancient ways of self-defence.

A retired district court judge is defending taxpayer-funded perks her former colleagues receive. The Post reports benefits for first appointments, or if a district court judge is required to move, include new carpets and curtains, and new school uniforms for children. They also get business-class flights, annual Koru membership and allowances for spouses while on work-related travel. Retired district court judge Rosemary Riddell told Heather du Plessis Allan it's reasonable. “Judges in many cases have to move from one end of the country to the other, so I don't see anything unusual in that.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sebastian, Nikos, and Mike all came up in the car scene together in New Jersey. Through their passion for street racing, drifting, and cool cars captured in unique ways, this led them to chase their dreams in Los Angeles. Seb fell into becoming a curator of cars in music videos and other productions simply based on his passion. Having the desire to properly represent what we know is cool in the drift community is important to all of us and Seb and his team nail it. Mike has been creating visual works of art for a long time, and that led him to the west coast to work on some really cool music videos and other productions as a director of photography along with working with Seb on providing some of the coolest cars on the planet for projects. Nikos is a Toyota diehard and Auto Real Dream teammember who has built some very cool cars over the years. He took a leap and has now joined his east coast friends' journey out west. We sit down and talk about H2Oi, drifting influences, how long the shelf life of drifting in the forefront of pop culture will last, working as media at Rolling Loud in the early days, riding shotgun on the Kanjo Loop with Osaka's outlaw Civic street racers, and of course origin stories.

Toshi is well known in the drift community for his driving style. Early on, it was his street drifting, and more recently, his aggressive style on track. Despite facing a few very rough years due to a court case in Japan that seemingly took everything from him, Toshi never lost his passion for drifting. This passion became one of the driving forces behind his determination to prove his innocence. After a three-year battle, he was found not guilty and is now back up and running with his export business. He is attacking drifting full force to make up for lost time. We talk about Toshi's court case, Japanese prison, the Japanese justice system, drifting techniques, street drifting, and, of course, his origin story.

Geoff Pitts was responsible for running Thunder Drift which Formula Drift pro licensed quite a few Northern California drivers including a few of my Animal Style teammates. He ran events, announced events, and now he's a race director for a prestigious vintage motorsports group. It's always cool to see where drifting takes people next. Geoff Pitts also was Ryan Kado's spotter in FD along with shooting for Life Blasters which was a sort of alt Speedhunters. In an absence of drifting Events in Northern California Geoff stepped up and made it happen for us.
