V zahraničí se začínají testovat alternativní způsoby pohřbívání. Jde o metody jako terramace či akvamace, kdy se tělo nechá takzvaně kontrolovaně zkompostovat nebo rozpustit. Je to důstojné zacházení s lidskými těly? „Nabízí to možnost lidem být po smrti u sebe na zahradě,“ vyzdvihuje v pořadu Pro a proti hrobník Adam Vokáč ze spolku Poslední stopa. „Pokojný klid v hrobě je nenahraditelný,“ namítá vedoucí oddělení pohřebnictví ministerstva pro místní rozvoj Tomáš Kotrlý.

After the Royal Commission exposed widespread misconduct, how did the banks pull off their reputation revival - and can we really trust them?

Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the US is deploying new shakedown tactics on its exporters to give some favoured tech companies tariff and national security export relief - if they pay.However first, China's vehicle sales were up almost 15% in July from a year ago, following a nearly +14% rise in June. That means they sold 2.6 mln units in July. The sales pace is running far higher in 2025 than the record pace in 2024, but the really large sales months don't come until late in the second half of the year. Sales of new energy vehicles surged 27% year-on-year to more than 1.25 mln units in July, accounting for nearly half of all new car sales and marking the fifth consecutive monthly increase.Hong Kong listed Chinese property developer, China South City Holdings, has been suspended after a Hong Kong court ordered its winding up. That ends a years-long process of attempting to survive through reorganisation and emphasises how tough the Chinese property development market is still.In India, there are reports their central bank is in the markets supporting the falling rupee. So far they have spent US$5 bln on the operation to no obvious impact, although it may have helped slow the devaluation.In the US, the Federal Government is finding new ways to tax. First it was tariffs (import taxes), now it is export taxes. It is extracting 15% from chip sales, starting with exports to China. These shakedown of corporate America come with waiving tariffs or national security export restrictions, giving the company advantages over its rivals. Very Soprano. It is a habit sure to spread, ushering in a period of hyper crony-capitalism - one that may be indistinguishable from capitalism-with-Chinese-characteristics. The Chinese at least are trying to wean themselves off the habit, because it led them nowhere.Tomorrow, the US will release its CPI data. And after the firing of its agency head last month because Trump didn't like the result, this will draw special scrutiny, especially as tariff costs are increasingly being passed on. The key reaction to watch will be how TIPS bonds are prices (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities). The CPI rate is the basis for these yields and it they are going to be artificially interfered with, investors may sell down this US$2.1 tln bond market corner. If that happens, we will all notice. Markets expect the 2.7% CPI rate in June (the one Trump didn't like) to rise to 2.8%, and the core rate to hit 3% - for the first time in five months and calling an end to the disinflation cycle and the start of re-inflation.Later today we get the RBA's latest rate decision. It almost certainly will announce a cut of -25 bps to 3.60%. And before that the wide-watched NAB business sentiment survey will be released. It isn't expected to show much change from the modestly positive readings.And as important as today's announcements will be, don't forget tomorrow CBA will release its annual 2025 results to June. And they are widely expected to be a record exceeding AU$10 bln. It is ranked in the mid 40s on an assets basis, but it is one of the worlds most profitable.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.26%, down -2 bps from yesterday at this time. The price of gold will start today at US$3,354/oz, down -US$44 from yesterday.American oil prices have firmed +50 USc to be just under US$64/bbl with the international Brent price now at US$66.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at 59.3 USc and down -20 bps from yesterday. Against the Aussie we are also down -20 bps at 91.1 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.2, down -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price started today at US$119,552 and up +0.8% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at +/-1.7%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news geopolitics will suck up all the headlines this week, but we will focus on how the world's economies are faring.This coming week will have a focus on Australia, and the RBA's Tuesday cash rate target review. "Everyone" expects them to cut by -25 bps to 3.60% - the more so because they skipped the expected cut at their July 9 review. There will be interest in the NAB business sentiment report this week tooIn the US, the economic focus will be on CPI, PPI, retail sales and industrial production data. Market analysts aren't expecting to see much expansion and are expecting to see higher inflation. There will also be another consumer sentiment survey released this week too.In Europe it will be all about GDP and sentiment updates. In Japan, we get to learn their Q2 GDP result. In India the focus will be on inflation updates.In China there will be some big data released including for industrial production, retail sales, and new bank lending.Over the weekend China released its July CPI data. It rose +0.4% from June, to be unchanged from a year ago. They are being suppressed by Beijing's subsidy programs. Food prices fell marginally in the month to be -1.0% lower than a year ago. Beef prices however rose +3.6% on that annual basis, sheepmeat prices fell -1.4%, and milk was down -1.3%.Meanwhile overall producer prices deflated quicker, down -3.6% from a year ago. Producer purchase prices were down -4.5%, taking it to almost three years of continuous monthly declines. That's serious deflation.More globally, the July world food price index inched higher, but that masks record higher prices for meat proteins. And those were driven by beef and sheep prices. Dairy prices eased back from June but only slightly and they remain very near record levels.Canada released its July labour market report over the weekend showing 1.6 mln people unemployed for a jobless rate of 6.9%. That's high even if it is stable, and the number of people employed fell by -40,800, with a drop of -51,000 in full-time jobs and a rise of +10,000 in part-time jobs. The decline was mostly among 15-24 year olds. Markets had expected overall employment to rise by +13,000.In Japan, June data for household spending rose +1.3% from the same month a year ago, down sharply from a +4.7% increase in May. Forecasts were for a +2.6% rise. Households were worried about the impact of US tariffs and persistent inflation on consumer activity. On a monthly basis, spending plunged -5.2% in June from May, reversing May's +4.6% rise and undershooting expectations of a -3% correction.And staying with Japan, they agreed with the US on a 15% "reciprocal" tariff. But Trump issued an executive order to charge 25% in a pique of retribution for slights no-one can quite understand. The Japanese have called them out on it, insisting they honour the negotiated deal. Now Bessent and Lutnick have agreed to not only correct the "administrative mistake" but refund the capricious tariff charges. The Japanese are back with the same deal as the EU has.Taiwan's export performance continues to astound. Exports from the island nation surged +42% in July from a year ago to a record US$56.7 bln, following the +34% increase in June. They were expecting 'only' a +29% rise on this basis. by any measure this strength is quite remarkable. It is all built on electronics. Taiwanese imports were up +21% on the same basis.In the US the appointment of Stephen Miran to fill a temporary vacancy as a board member of the US Federal Reserve adds in a protectionist sceptic to the voting mix. He is no fan of central bank independence. But oddly he has railed against the 'revolving door' of its members moving between Whitehouse/Treasury positions and the Fed governorships. He has now become exhibit A.An global reinsurer SwissRe says 2025 is shaping up to incur weather and climate losses exceeding US$150 bln, after a record $80 bln in the first half. That would make it its costliest year since 2011 (when the NZ and Japanese earthquakes occurred), but by far the costliest for just climate impacts.We should also note an AFR report that French dairy giant Lactalis, is the leading bidder for Fonterra's Mainland business after being granted exclusivity to negotiate for a buyout. They got the nod with a price rumoured to be something less than $4 bln.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.28%, down -1 bp from Saturday and up +6 bps for the week.The price of gold will start today at US$3,398/oz, up US$3 from Saturday. But that has built to a +US$51 gain for the week, or up +1.5%. The uncertainties swirling around the new US tariff ruling are flowing through the New York gold price. Meanwhile the White House called the news 'misinformation' even though their agency had published to tariff ruling.American oil prices have slipped back again, down -50 USc to be just under US$63.50/bbl with the international Brent price down at just over US$66/bbl. These are more than -US$3.50 lower than week-ago levels.The Kiwi dollar is at 59.5 USc and down -10 bps from Saturday, up +½c from a week ago. Against the Aussie we are up +10 bps at 91.3 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 51.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 67.3, unchanged from Saturday and up +20 bps from this time last week.The bitcoin price started today at US$118,561 and up +1.5% from this time Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.1%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston.

Když budu mít štěstí, dožiju se svých padesátin, tuší zpěvák MC Dr. KaryKdyž přicházel do redakce Reportéra, věděl, že bude následující rozhovor drásající. V dalším díle podcastu přinášíme první polovinu nesmírně osobní zpovědi hudebníka Ondřeje Háši, který si říká MC Dr. Kary a poslední čtvrtstoletí je známou postavou českého reggae i elektronické taneční hudby.„Na půlce jara jsem se dozvěděl,“ vysvětluje hned na samém počátku, „že mám rakovinu slinivky a podle všeho mi zbývá nanejvýš rok života.“Nyní je uprostřed svého posledního turné, které potrvá do půlky září. Navzdory stále občasným bolestem koncertuje několikrát týdně: „Dávní kamarádi mě dokonce začali zvát na místa, kde už jsem léta nehrál, ať se ještě jednou ukážu. Šance, že bych byl nějakého řádění schopný ještě příští léto, je opravdu jen mizivá.“Nabídky dostává například i na listopad, ale to je pro něj příliš mlhavá budoucnost. Brzy se dozví, jak zabralo první kolo chemoterapie, což bude naprosto zásadní.Kdovíjakým optimistou Dr. Kary není: „Cítím, jak se denně zhoršuju, jak mě to víc a víc žere. Zatím jde o snesitelnou bolest, ale zároveň je čím dál horší.“Ví o případu pacienta, který žil s obdobnou diagnózou dvaadvacet dalších měsíců – to by sám považoval za obrovskou výhru. „Zároveň ale vím, že šlo o extrém. Já budu spíš bojovat o to, abych se dočkal svých březnových padesátin.“Celý rozhovor přinese v textové formě srpnový magazín Reportér, který vychází v pondělí 11. srpna.

Vysoké školy mají v příštích 12 letech získat navíc zhruba 13 miliard na nelékařské zdravotnické obory. Nedávno o tom rozhodla vláda. Slibuje si od toho navýšení počtu studentů minimálně o pětinu. Opatření má do budoucna řešit hrozící nedostatek zdravotních sester a dalších nelékařských profesí. Asi 30 tisícům zdravotníků se blíží důchodový věk.

Když lidé z Čech chtějí vyrazit někam na Moravu, oblast Mikulova a Pálavy je často první volbou. Nabízí krásnou přírodu, vinařskou turistiku, památky i folklorní tradice. Správa Chráněné krajinné oblasti Pálava ale vidí vysoký počet návštěvníků spíš jako problém a zvažuje regulaci. Zástupci Mikulova balancují mezi tím, kolik peněz turisté přinášejí, a zátěží pro místní obyvatele na straně druhé.

In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, host Liam Garman is joined by NAB professional services banking executive Donna Kosiek and Harcourts Property Centre managing director and principal Sam Devlin to explore one of the most important – yet often overlooked – drivers of sustainable growth in Australian real estate: succession planning. With a strategic approach and the right support, succession planning is transforming how real estate leaders future-proof their businesses while empowering the next generation of owners and operators. Donna shares how succession isn't just about stepping away from a business, rather it's about building something that lasts, using equity exchanges to bring in talent, reward loyalty, and drive expansion. For Sam, this approach has been a game changer. Since joining forces with Aaron Brooks, Harcourts Property Centre has grown from one office to operating across 12 locations, with a team of 200. He shares how the firm's clear cultural values have helped align shareholders and build a cohesive, high-performing team. The conversation dives deep into the practicalities of passing the baton, from financial governance and cultural fit to the mental shift required to move from rapid growth to sustainable profitability. With NAB's expert support, Sam's team has successfully navigated the complexities of succession while setting the business up for long-term success. Tune in now to discover why planning for tomorrow is one of the smartest moves a real estate leader can make today. Enjoy the podcast, The REB team

Americká krása #63 o možném prvním muslimském starostovi New Yorku Zohranu Mamdanim a dopadech jeho úspěchu na celostátní úrovni. Letošní demokratické primárky v New York City měly nebývalý celostátní politický význam. Překvapivě v nich zvítězil třiatřicetiletý socialista Zohran Kwame Mamdani, který se narodil v Ugandě a do USA přišel s rodiči v roce 1998. V druhém kole porazil někdejšího guvernéra Andrewa Cuoma a teď má nakročeno k tomu stát se v listopadových volbách prvním muslimským starostou New Yorku. Úspěch Mandaniho vyvolává nadšené i hysterické reakce. Prezident Donald Trump ho kvůli jeho ekonomickým plánům označuje za komunistu, a dokonce mu pohrozil zatčením. Čím ho Mandani pobuřuje? Na čem stojí jeho úspěch? Nabízí nová politická hvězda recept přenositelný na celostátní úroveň? A jak to jde dohromady s případnou novou politickou stranou Elona Muska? Nejen o tom debatují Barbora Chaloupková a Jiří Sobota pod moderátorskou taktovkou Štěpána Sedláčka. Čtěte také: Dobývá New York. Může být receptem demokratů pro celou Ameriku?

L'exploitation des immenses réserves de fer des monts du Simandou pourrait marquer un tournant décisif pour l'économie guinéenne. Estimées à près de 8 milliards de tonnes de minerai, ces réserves font l'objet de discussions depuis trois décennies. Les autorités prévoient une entrée en production pour la fin de l'année 2025, présentant ce projet comme la vitrine de leur ambition économique. (Rediffusion) Face au manque de transparence, la population guinéenne, qui a connu les désillusions de l'exploitation de bauxite, oscille entre espoir et scepticisme. Sur le chantier du chemin de fer, la poussière et les boues envahissent les champs, rendant impossible toute culture. Mamoudou Youla, habitant du village de Sounganyia marche sur la terre craquelée qui a envahi sa rizière. « Tout ça, là, c'est le lieu de travail. Depuis que les sociétés minières sont arrivées il y a cinq ans, on ne travaille pas ici, rien, tout est gâté. », se lamente-t-il. Les dédommagements promis par les miniers ne suffisent pas à compenser les pertes subies par les agriculteurs. Mamaseta Camara, une autre habitante, exprime son désenchantement face aux promesses non tenues. « Quand les entreprises sont arrivées ici, j'étais contente, je me suis dit que c'était une opportunité pour nous. Mais ça ne s'est pas passé comme prévu. On subit de nombreux impacts. » Tout se fissure. Les murs des maisons, comme la confiance des habitants envers les sociétés. Il n'y aurait pas eu assez d'emploi pour les jeunes de Soungayah. La corruption autour du chantier est un autre sujet de préoccupation. « Quand vous allez sur le chantier pour du travail, il y a des intermédiaires qui vous demandent de l'argent. Environ 1 million et demi de francs guinéens », témoigne anonymement ce jeune homme. Il a le verbe haut et une profonde colère en lui. « À Conakry, on dit que nous sommes les boss. Qu'il y a un grand projet chez nous, le grand port de la Guinée, et donc qu'on est les rois, mais les gens ne savent pas ce qui se passe réellement ici. Pas d'emploi, pas d'eau, pas d'hôpital. J'en veux aux autorités guinéennes. Parce que depuis que le projet a commencé ici, personne ne s'est déplacé pour voir ce que nous traversons ici. Ils s'en foutent de nous ». Plus de 33 000 emplois ont déjà été créés sur le corridor, avançait Mamadi Doumbouya, le président de la transition, lors de ses derniers vœux à la nation. Des retombées XXL espérées pour l'économie guinéenne Initié en 1997, le projet Simandou a connu de nombreux rebondissements. D'abord attribués à Rio Tinto, les blocs 1 et 2 ont ensuite été confiés à BSGR, avant d'être réattribués à Winning Consortium Simandou en 2019, un partenariat sino-singapourien avec une participation guinéenne. Après le coup d'État en 2021, les travaux ont été interrompus par la junte. Puis, le géant de l'acier Baowu Steel a investi 6 milliards de dollars dans le projet, renforçant l'engagement de la Chine. Les espoirs sont énormes. Les autorités guinéennes misent sur des retombées économiques annuelles de 600 à 700 millions de dollars via des taxes et redevances. « Les ressources générées par les mines du projet Simandou et la transformation locale des minerais par la construction des raffineries nous ouvrent des perspectives heureuses d'avenir. », se réjouissait Mamadi Doumbouya. La construction d'une aciérie permettrait également de transformer une partie du fer sur place. « Nous osons espérer que cela soit la bonne cette fois, explique l'économiste Mohammed Camara. Pour un projet minier, l'important, c'est qu'est-ce qu'on en tire comme fiscalité, quels sont les impôts et taxes que ce projet va payer à l'État ? Il faut voir le projet sur du long terme et s'assurer de l'utilisation efficace des ressources. Le peu que l'on gagne, il faut l'investir où on peut impacter le plus. » Le « pont vers la prospérité » vanté par les autorités guinéennes n'est pas garanti. « Les autorités comptent beaucoup sur le Simandou parce que c'est un projet qui va doubler le produit intérieur brut du pays, mais attention, il ne faut pas croire que cela va régler tous les problèmes d'un seul coup », poursuit Mohammed Camara. Des contrats miniers toujours secrets D'autant qu'un doute subsiste sur les retombées économiques réelles. Les contrats signés entre l'État et les sociétés minières n'ont en effet pas été publiés. Ces trois conventions minières, ferroviaires et portuaires finalisées en 2023 ne sont connues que de quelques-uns dans le pays. « On se demande bien qui les a vues, c'est l'omerta la plus totale », témoigne un ancien proche du ministère des Mines. La publication des contrats est obligatoire selon le code minier guinéen. Or, ces conventions validées par la Cour suprême adoptées par le CNT – l'Assemblée nationale guinéenne – en février 2024 sont introuvables. Manque de transparence flagrant pour certains acteurs de la société civile. Incompréhension pour Oumar Totiya Barry de l'Observatoire des mines et métaux : « Officiellement, le Premier ministre parle de contrat stratégique, donc de secret d'État. Le ministre des Mines évoque le fait que le processus de négociation n'est pas terminé. Mais on sait quand même que ces documents sont passés au niveau du CNT et donc, que le processus est à son terme. On ne comprend pas pourquoi la Guinée ne rend pas encore public ces contrats. Cela aiderait aujourd'hui à améliorer le niveau de compréhension. » À lire aussiGuinée: de Sekou Touré à Mamadi Doumbouya, l'incroyable histoire du gisement de fer de Simandou Même du côté des sociétés minières, on peine à comprendre ce manque de transparence. Mais le gouvernement reste droit dans ses bottes sur cette question. « Quand on négocie avec quelqu'un, il y a toujours des clauses de confidentialité, explique le ministre du plan Ismaël Nabé. Nous sommes en train de discuter avec les partenaires industriels et on publiera au temps opportun. On renégocie parce que la Guinée était perdante. Nous sommes avec des partenaires et on doit avoir un commun accord, et respecter ce que l'on s'est dit. Si on est d'accord, ça sera publié. » Les éléments juridiques des conventions signées ont déjà été publiés dans un numéro spécial du Journal officiel qui n'a pas été rendu public, mais que RFI a pu se procurer. Certains y voient la preuve que tout est déjà négocié et que les autorités n'ont pas envie de dévoiler des contrats qui seraient défavorables à la Guinée. Un des négociateurs nous informe que la plupart des contrats de revente par lesquels les clients achètent le minerai produit ne sont pas encore signés. Le prix de revente du fer de Simandou – élément clé pour le calcul des recettes de l'État – ne serait pas fixé. Djiba Diakité, le président du comité stratégique de Simandou, a récemment expliqué dans une interview à Forbes Afrique que « si on mettait bout à bout tous les documents contractuels de Simandou... ça ferait 14 kilomètres ». Un train pour le minerai et pour les passagers ? La Guinée veut croire à la renaissance de son réseau ferroviaire grâce au gigantesque projet minier. Le gisement de fer, l'un des plus riches au monde, doit être relié au port de Moribayah par une ligne de chemin de fer de 650 kilomètres. Une infrastructure qui cristallise les espoirs de désenclavement de la Haute et Moyenne-Guinée. Pensée comme une double voie, cette ligne doit permettre non seulement l'acheminement du minerai vers la côte, mais aussi, à terme, le transport de marchandises et de passagers. « Le chemin de fer est multi-utilisateur. Une partie va servir aux miniers, une autre aux marchandises, mais aussi aux personnes. L'objectif est de développer plus de 2 000 km de voie ferrée dans le pays », déclare Ismaël Nabé, ministre du Plan à RFI. Cette ambition de désenclaver les régions agricoles, comme la zone de Kankan ou de N'zérékoré, suscite l'enthousiasme. Certains imaginent déjà des trains chargés d'ignames ou de bananes rejoindre plus facilement les marchés urbains. Mais sur le terrain, les observateurs sont plus prudents. « L'idée d'un train passager est séduisante, mais peu réaliste dans l'état actuel du tracé », estime Oumar Totiya Barry, directeur de l'Observatoire des mines et métaux. Selon lui, la ligne évite les grands centres urbains. « Il y a bien une quinzaine de gares prévues, mais elles sont souvent à des dizaines de kilomètres des villes. Madina Oula, par exemple, se trouve à plus de 80 km de Kindia. Pour Mamou, c'est le même problème avec la gare de Farenta. » En cause, une logique de tracé prioritairement industrielle. Le chemin de fer suit le chemin le plus court et le moins coûteux entre la mine et le port, au détriment d'une intégration fine au territoire. « Le mariage entre aménagement du territoire et conception du chemin de fer n'a pas suffisamment fonctionné », regrette Oumar Totiya Barry. À Kaloum, cœur battant de Conakry, certains commerçants restent sceptiques. Marqués par les promesses non tenues des précédents projets miniers, ils redoutent que Simandou ne soit qu'un mirage de plus. Dans les zones d'exploitation de la bauxite, comme à Boké, l'exploitation a certes rapporté des devises, mais elle a aussi laissé des séquelles : pollution de l'air, raréfaction de l'eau potable, routes dégradées. « Simandou, c'est du vent », tranche un commerçant, dénonçant une richesse qui ne profite toujours pas à la population. En attendant, Simandou creuse son sillon, porté par de grandes ambitions.

Podlasie jest usiane kapliczkami. Naprawdę. Mam wrażenie, że jest tu ich najwięcej. Więcej to chyba na Litwie spotkałam tych krzyży, świątków i innych wątków.Kawa dla Miłki: https://buycoffee.to/dziennik.zmianWzrusza mnie taka praktyczna odsłona codziennej metafizyki, gdy ludzie pokazują wszem i wobec, że bez niewidzialnego, to widzialne jest wątpliwie, że od zarazy i wojny ustrzeże krzyż, że na rozdrożu pokaże kierunek i odgoni samego diabła. Czy to nie piękne?Nie wszystkie kapliczki to tylko historia, są zadbane, są aktywne, są ważne. Ostatnio, przejeżdżając przez wieś niedaleko Sokółki, zobaczyłem piękną kapliczkę z gipsową Matką Boską w oszklonej skrzyneczce. Odnowioną. Ale stojącą na puściutkiej działce. Był tam jednak sympatyczny pan, który powiedział, że stary dom się spalił, a on kapliczkę odnowił. To był bardzo wietrzny dzień, to będzie słychać, no i nie miałem ze sobą lepszego nagrywadła, ale rozmowa o kapliczce była po prostu taka serdeczna, otwarta.Praktyka i prastare echaPraktyka stawiania kapliczek prawdopodobnie sięga czasów pogańskich, nie ma co do tego wątpliwości. Twarde ramię często zakończone mieczem konceptu tej religii nie zniszczyło miękkiej tkanki zaufania naturze, odruchów zakorzenionych w cykliczności, w organiczności tego naszego świata, w tej szerokości geograficznej, no tego co teraz tak sobie po cichutku a pięknie wraca. Kapliczki zazwyczaj stawiano w celu dziękczynnym, wotywnym lub obrzędowym. Zawsze – wtedy i teraz.Szalenie mi się podoba, że w Podlaskiem była specjalna pula finansowa przeznaczona na odnowienie kapliczek. Każdy mógł się zgłosić. To był program „Kapliczki Podlaskie 2025 – ocalić od zapomnienia”. Budżet konkursu to 150 tys. zł. Dotacja może być przyznana na pokrycie kosztów prac konserwatorskich, restauratorskich lub robót budowlanych przy kapliczkach. Wnioski należy złożyć od piątku, 11.04, do 5.05 br. Nabór ogłosił zarząd województwa. To już czwarta edycja konkursu, a dofinansowanie pochodzi z budżetu województwa. Wsparcie może pokryć nawet 100 proc. kosztów inwestycji. Dofinansowanie mogą uzyskać m.in. organizacje pozarządowe oraz oferenci, którzy prowadzą działalność statutową w dziedzinie kultury, sztuki, ochrony dóbr kultury i dziedzictwa narodowego.Słowianie silnie wierzyli w obecność i wpływ duchów przodków oraz duchów opiekuńczych danego terenu (np. domowników, polnych, leśnych). Aby zapewnić sobie ich przychylność i obronę przed złymi mocami, zostawiano dary na rozstajach dróg, przy źródłach czy w miejscach szczególnie ważnych dla lokalnej społeczności. Kapliczki mogły przejąć funkcję takich miejsc "pojednania" z zaświatami.Jednym z najważniejszych miejsc pogańskiego kultu były święte gaje, pojedyncze drzewa (często dęby, lipy, jesiony) lub kamienie. Wierzono, że są to miejsca zamieszkiwane przez bóstwa (np. Peruna, Swarożyca, Welesa) lub ważne duchy opiekuńcze. Pod tymi drzewami składano ofiary (płody rolne, miód, zwierzęta), proszono o urodzaj, zdrowie czy pomyślność. Często wieszano na nich wstążki, warkocze z ziół czy inne dary. To właśnie te pogańskie "miejsca mocy" z czasem mogły być adaptowane przez chrześcijaństwo.ędrowanie przez czas i wiaręTo takie podstawowe tropy. I kiedy, siedząc w niedzielne popołudnie na wsi pod jabłonią, słyszę przechodzącą przez wieś pielgrzymkę, to wiem, że Słowianie: wędrowali do świętych gajów, na szczyty gór (np. Łysa Góra), do źródeł, czy pod święte drzewa, które były uważane za miejsca przebywania bóstw, duchów przodków lub sił natury. Te miejsca były punktami, gdzie „niebo stykało się z ziemią”, a kontakt z sacrum był najsilniejszy.I tak jest do dziś, i niech wiara będzie trampoliną do fizyki kwantowej, która pokazuje, że to co niewidzialne jest tym co widzimy.
