『No No Girls』について熱量モリモリで話しました❤️
Dejamos atrás con nuestro Seat 131 Supermirafiori, el municipio soriano de Monteagudo de las Vicarías, y cogemos las CL-116, para enlazar con la A-15, y tras atravesar Soria y coger la SO-620, llegamos tras 96 kms (poco más de una hora) al también soriano municipio de Castilfrío de la Sierra. Castilfrío de la Sierra es un pueblo que da lo que promete, tiene un castillo, hace frío y está en la sierra. No como Villapene, provincia de Lugo, que no da lo que promete. Para ser justos, castillo ya no hay, pero lo había, y de ahí el nombre. Frío hace porque varios meses del año las mínimas son bajo cero, y la temperatura máxima se da en agosto, llegando a los 25 gradazos. Y sierra, pues si, está en la sierra en una zona llamada Tierras Altas, los flipados creen que son una comarca de El señor de los anillos o de Juego de tronos. En cuanto a habitantes, creo que difícilmente vayamos a visitar un pueblo con menos habitantes. El último censo de 2023 nos da una cifra de 38 habitantes. Y eso que están subiendo, que el 2001 eran 26. Para que os hagáis una idea, en mi planta vive más gente. Tener un vecino del opus también ayuda. Su gentilicio es castilfrileño. Está bañado por el Río Chico, lo cual es normal, para 38 habitantes no van a tener un Río Grande. El río Chico es un afluente del Merdancho, que tiene nombre de zurullo de vaca, grande. Muchas de sus Casonas han sido restauradas, principalmente por gente de fuera, por forasteros, esos que cuando pasan con el coche todo el mundo se queda mirando. Una de las personas que más ha hecho por la conservación arquitectónica de Castilfrio de la Sierra es el escritor, ya dado de baja de ciudadanos, y persona cancelada del todo, Fernando Sánchez Dragó. En la que era su casa, hay una placa que pone: “Aquí vive Fernando Sánchez Dragó, escritor y viajero, sivaíta [del dios Siva], Caballero del Escarabajo y Gran Maestre de la Orden de Gea”, y yo añadiría, un poquito pederasta. Allí vivía con Naoko, una exalumna suya de la que decía: “Es de Guinness, le llevo 38 años, podría ser mi nieta”, y lo decía con una sonrisilla satireta. Pero volvamos a Castilfrio de la Sierra, que ya os digo yo que es mala suerte tener 38 habitantes y que uno sea Fernando Sanchez Dragó. Entre su patrimonio destaca la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, que para que no se peleen los hooligans de los movimientos arquitectónicos, es Gótica y Barroca a la vez. La nave es gótica del siglo XVI, y la cúpula y el ábside son barrocos, del siglo XVII. Para que los amantes del románico no se sientan ofendidos, la pila bautismal es románica. También está la ermita de Nuestra Señora del Carrascal, llamada así porque se dice que se le apareció a un pastorcillo mientras veía “Al filo de la medianoche” , con Jose María Carrascal. En realidad se le apareció en un carrascal, que es un sitio lleno de carrascas…vamos, encinas. En 1985 en el Alto de la Tejera se localizó un dolmen, de hecho es el único Dólmen de toda la provincia de Soria. Se calcula que tiene unos 4000-5000 años. Tienen dos festividades: La fiesta chica que es el 15 de mayo, día de San Isidro, y en ella la imagen de la Virgen del Carrascal es trasladada en procesión por las mozas solteras, que en concreto ahora deben ser dos. La fiesta grande es el segundo fin de semana de septiembre, en honor a nuestra señora de la Asunción. En esta fiesta grande se come el llamado terrizo, que consiste en poner en un recipiente de barro Vino, melocotón, canela y azúcar. Su alcalde es del PP, y se llama Tomás Cabezón Casas. Qué digo yo que con 38 habitantes, cuánto duran las elecciones, seis minutos?
When developing a business centered around Japanese prints, there are many factors to consider: the audience, the history, and how you want to be perceived by the public. The appeal of the Japanese aesthetic, along with your own personal aesthetic and brand identity, can also be just as important to your business. On this episode of The Unfinished Print, I speak with Malene Wagner, a gallerist, curator, writer, and art historian whose business operates under the name Tiger Tanuki. Malene shares her passion for collecting and selling Japanese prints, and we explore the European perspective on Japanese prints and printmaking. We also dive into Japanese aesthetics and how they are interpreted through a Western lens. Additionally, Malene discusses how these aesthetics influence her brand, Tiger Tanuki, the role history plays in shaping her business, and her upcoming book.

Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase. Artists works follow after the note if available. Pieces are mokuhanga unless otherwise noted. Dimensions are given if known. Print publishers are given if known. Malene Wagner & Tiger Tanuki - Instagram, website ukiyo-e - is a multi colour woodblock print generally associated with the Edo Period (1603-1867) of Japan. What began in the 17th Century as prints of only a few colours, evolved into an elaborate system of production and technique into the Meiji Period (1868-1912). With the advent of photography and other forms of printmaking, ukiyo-e as we know it today, ceased production by the late 19th Century. Uniqlo - a Japanese clothing brand known for its affordable, minimalist, and high-quality everyday wear. It focuses on functional designs, using innovative fabrics like Heattech for warmth and AIRism for breathability. Uniqlo is popular worldwide for offering essential wardrobe staples and often collaborates with well-known designers and artists to create unique collections. Clear Day With A Southern Breeze (1831) is a print usually known as "Red Fuji." From the series Thirty Six Views of Mt. Fuji this print was actually pink, red was used in later impressions by publisher Nishimuraya Yohachi. The Great Wave off Kanagawa - is a woodblock print designed by Katsushika Hokusai in 1831. It is very famous. Yayoi Kusama - is a pioneering Japanese artist known for her immersive installations and polka dot motifs that explore themes of infinity, identity, and mental health. Born in 1929 in Matsumoto, Japan, Kusama began her artistic journey through painting and avant-garde practices, eventually moving to New York in the late 1950s, where she became a key figure in the pop art and feminist movements. Her works, range from large-scale installations like the "Infinity Mirror Rooms" to her vibrant sculptures and paintings. Kusama's art is a deeply personal expression of her own experiences with mental illness, transforming her obsessions into stunning visual experiences that resonate globally. Today, she is celebrated as one of the most influential contemporary artists, with exhibitions and installations that captivate audiences worldwide. From "Life Is The Heart of A Rainbow", Installation (2017) MANGA - was an exhibition from May 23 - August 26, 2019 held at the British Museum in London, England. shin hanga - is a style of Japanese woodblock printmaking that emerged in the early 20th century, marking the end of the nishiki-e period. Originating around 1915 under the direction of Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962), the art form responded to the foreign demand for "traditional" Japanese imagery. Shin hanga artists focused on motifs like castles, bridges, famous landscapes, and bamboo forests. The style was initiated when Watanabe discovered Austrian artist Fritz Capelari (1884-1950) and commissioned him to design prints for Watanabe's budding printing house. This collaboration led to the evolution of shin hanga into a distinctive new style of Japanese woodblock printing. The shin hanga movement thrived until its inevitable decline after the Second World War (1939-1945). sōsaku-hanga - or creative prints, is a style of printmaking which is predominantly, although not exclusively, prints made by one person. It started in the early twentieth century in Japan, in the same period as the shin-hanga movement. The artist designs, carves, and prints their own works. The designs, especially in the early days, may seem rudimentary but the creation of self-made prints was a breakthrough for printmakers moving away from where only a select group of carvers, printers and publishers created woodblock prints. Tomoo Inagaki (1902-1980) - introduced to mokuhanga by Onchi Kōshirō and Un'cihi Hiratsuka in 1923. Beginning in 1924, Inagaki published his first prints in magazines such as Shi to hanga (issue 13), Hanga (issues 6, 9/10, 11, 14), and Kitsutsuki, and exhibited with the Nihon Sôsaku-Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Creative Print Association). He became a member of the Nihon Hanga Kyôkai (Japan Print Association) in 1932 and participated in various post-war international competitions, including the Paris, Tokyo, and Lugano biennales. His cat prints have been highly collectible. More info can be found at Viewing Japanese Prints, here. The Rival Cats - 18" x 24" (1960's - 1970's) Oliver Statler (1915-2002) - was an American author and scholar and collector of mokuhanga. He had been a soldier in World War 2, having been stationed in Japan. After his time in the war Statler moved back to Japan where he wrote about Japanese prints. His interests were of many facets of Japanese culture such as accommodation, and the 88 Temple Pilgrimage of Shikoku. Oliver Statler, in my opinion, wrote one of the most important books on the sōsaku-hanga movement, “Modern Japanese Prints: An Art Reborn.” Frances Blakemore (1906-1997) - was an American-born artist, writer, philanthropist and curator of modern Japanese mokuhanga. She lived in Japan for over fifty years and helped to support the burgeoning sōsaku hanga print movement of the 1950s. Blakemore worked in mokuhanga (collaborating with Watanabe Shōzaburō) and making self-printed and carved prints. She also worked in oils. Japanese Bath (1937) - 11 7/8" x 9 5/8 " Yoshitomo Nara - is a renowned Japanese contemporary artist and is celebrated for his distinctive paintings and sculptures featuring figures with large heads and expressive eyes, often exploring themes of innocence, rebellion, and solitude. Change The History (2007) acrylic on wood 74-7/16" × 55-1/2" × 3-1/8" Mingei - is a Japanese term that translates to "folk craft" or "people's art." It refers to a movement that emerged in the early 20th century, emphasizing the value and beauty of traditional, handmade crafts created by anonymous artisans. Mingei focuses on everyday objects, such as pottery, textiles, furniture, and utensils, that reflect the culture and daily life of the people who made them. Lawrin Smith - is the author of the book "The Prints of Yoshitoshi: A Complete Illustrated Catalog" (2009). This comprehensive catalog focuses on the works of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. The book provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of Yoshitoshi's prints, showcasing his significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre and his influence on modern printmaking. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection, transience, and the natural cycle of life. It combines two concepts: "wabi," which refers to rustic simplicity and tranquility found in nature, and "sabi,"which denotes the beauty that comes with age and wear. Wabi-sabi values simplicity, asymmetry, and the unique characteristics of objects and experiences, encouraging appreciation for the impermanent and humble aspects of life. This philosophy is reflected in various forms of art, architecture, and design, emphasizing natural materials and handcrafted items, and fostering mindfulness and acceptance of the imperfections that make life beautiful. A-yo - is a renowned Japanese artist associated with the Gutai Art Association, an avant-garde group that emerged in post-war Japan. Known for his vibrant colors and distinctive style, Ay-O's work often incorporates elements of nature, light, and movement, reflecting themes of playfulness and spontaneity. He engages with materials in innovative ways and has explored performance art as part of his creative expression. With extensive exhibitions both in Japan and internationally, Ay-O has made significant contributions to contemporary art, emphasizing the joy of creation and the aesthetic experience. Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) was a French-American artist and a key figure in modern art, known for his significant influence on the Dada movement and conceptual art. He initially trained as a painter but became renowned for challenging traditional notions of art through his controversial works, such as "Fountain"(1917), a readymade sculpture of a urinal that questioned the definition of art and the role of the artist. Duchamp's other notable pieces, including "The Large Glass" (1915–1923) and "Bicycle Wheel" (1913), explored themes of chance and perception. His innovative ideas about art as a conceptual experience rather than a purely visual one continue to resonate, solidifying his status as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Fountain (1917) replica (1964) Naoko Matsubara - is a contemporary Japanese printmaker known for her expertise in mokuhanga. Born in Osaka, she studied at Kyoto Seika University, where she specialized in printmaking and mastered the techniques of this ancient art form. Matsubara's work often blends traditional methods with contemporary themes, exploring the relationship between nature, culture, and identity. Her prints are characterized by intricate details, vibrant colors, and a deep appreciation for the materials and techniques involved in woodblock printing. She teaches and promotes mokuhanga both in Japan and abroad, exhibiting her work in galleries and museums worldwide and receiving numerous awards for her contributions to the field. Naoko's interview with The Unfinished Print can be found, here. Gihachiro Okuyama (1907-1981) - was a prominent Japanese printmaker and painter associated with the sōsaku hanga (creative prints) movement. Born in Tokyo, he studied traditional Japanese painting and was influenced by Western art styles, leading to innovative woodblock prints characterized by bold colors and dynamic compositions that blend traditional aesthetics with modern elements. Throughout his career, Okuyama exhibited extensively in Japan and internationally, contributing significantly to contemporary printmaking while also playing a vital role in art education by sharing his expertise with future generations. His work reflects a deep engagement with the cultural exchanges between East and West during the post-war period. Moonscape - 10" x 21" Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) - is considered one of the last “masters” of the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese woodblock printmaking. His designs range from landscapes, samurai and Chinese military heroes, as well as using various formats for his designs such as diptychs and triptychs. Prince Rokuson Tsunemoto from Suikoden of Japanese Heroes (1843) 10" x 7" Utagawa Kunisada III (1848–1920) - was a ukiyo-e print designer from the Utagawa school of mokuhanga. Kunisada III's print designs were designed during the transformation of the Edo Period (1603-1868) into the Meiji Period (1868-1912) of Japanese history, where his prints showed the technological, architectural and historical changes in Japan's history. Kabuki Plays - Narukami and Princess Toki (ca. 1890's) triptych Saitō Kiyoshi (1907-1997) - was a Japanese woodblock printmaker and artist who worked in the sōsaku hanga style of mokuhanga. HIs fame outside of Japan was fairly comprehensive with his peak fame being in the 1950's and 1960's. For a comprehensive book on his life and times, Saitō Kiyoshi: Graphic Awakening published by The John & Mable Ringling Museum is an excellent source. Can be found, here. Lecture by Dr. Paget about Saitō can be found, here. My interview with Professor Paget can be found, here. Dog, Daschund 2 10" x 15" Edvard Munch (1863-1944) - was a Norweigan artist, who initially was a painter, but also ventured into printmaking making 850 images. His print medium was etching, lithography, and woodcut. More information can be found here, at Christie's. Anxiety (1894) Pieter Cornelius Mondrian (1872-1944) - a Dutch artist who's work helped found De Stijl in 1917, a group of Dutch painters who helped codify Mondrian's abstraction and industrial design. Mondrian has a wide spectrum of works and styles created throughout his career. More information can be found, here from the Guggenheim. Mill in Sunlight (1908). Credit: Kunstmuseum Den Haag, The Hague, The Netherlands © 2021 Mondrian/Holtzman Trust Shunga - meaning "spring pictures," is a genre of Japanese erotic art that flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868), characterized by woodblock prints, paintings, and illustrated books depicting explicit sexual scenes often combined with humor, romance, and social commentary. Notable for its vibrant colors and intricate details, shunga explores themes of intimacy and sexuality, serving both as entertainment and education in a culture where such topics were often taboo. The genre reflects societal attitudes toward love and relationships and has a rich history despite facing censorship at various times. Today, shunga is recognized as a significant part of Japanese art history, appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and cultural context. Paul Binnie - Candlelight (1994) kappazuri print 24" x 18" Tosa Prefecture - historically known as Tosa Province, is located in the southern part of Shikoku, Japan, and corresponds to present-day Kochi Prefecture. Renowned for its natural beauty, including mountains, rivers, and coastal landscapes, Tosa has a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional crafts like Tosa washi (handmade paper) and Tosa pottery. The region is famous for its vibrant festivals, such as the Yosakoi Festival, which features lively dance performances, and is known for its agricultural products, particularly citrus fruits like yuzu and sudachi, along with seafood. Kochi City, the capital of Kochi Prefecture, serves as the cultural and economic center, showcasing local cuisine, historical sites, and museums.

Zdá se být plně v řádu věcí, když se ekonomičtí lídři vlády i opozice sejdou u prezidenta Petra Pavla, aby spolu rozmlouvali o důchodové reformě. Nakonec hlavním prezidentským poradcem pro penzijní problematiku se stal Vladimír Bezděk, podle kterého se dříve jmenovaly dvě komise k důchodové reformě složené z expertů i politiků.

Pár dní do Vianoc a Slovensko opäť rieši rozpočet. Po tom, čo úradnícka vláda predložila na jeseň verziu, v ktorej sa príjmy rovnali výdavkom a ktorá bola skôr povinnou jazdou zo zákona ako realitou, kabinet Roberta Fica bleskovou rýchlosťou, teda za menej než dva mesiace, pripravil svoju návrh. Ten pritom podľa premiéra zohľadňuje potrebné šetrenie, no zároveň neznižuje sociálny štandard Slovákov. Viacerí ekonómovia však s týmto tvrdením tak úplne nesúhlasia. Hlavne pokiaľ ide o šetrenie. Aký rozpočet to teda zase máme na stole, šetrí sa v ňom vôbec a bolo by jeho neschválenie do konca roka naozaj takou katastrofou? Eva Frantová sa v novej časti podcastu Index pýta predsedu Rady pre rozpočtovú zodpovednosť, Jána Tótha. Ak by ste sa chceli dozvedieť viac o ratingu Slovenska a o tom, čo to pre krajinu znamená, ak sa zníži, odporúčam článok Jozefa Tvardzíka. _ Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na podcastindex@sme.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/suhrnsme – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Index.

The new owners are wealthy and discerning, interested in new designs, upgraded comfort and sustainability. 在阿姆斯特丹，船屋已變得高檔了。新一批船屋主人富裕且有品味，對新設計、更高的舒適感和永續性都很感興趣。 Haverkate, a designer by trade, hopes his boat will inspire others to build on the water. He runs UrbanShips, a company that builds customized houseboats designed to look like ships. 哈福卡特以設計為業，希望他的船能激勵別人在水上蓋房子。他經營「都市船」公司，依照客戶需求打造看來像船隻的船屋。 After years of serving as a relatively cheap place to live in an expensive city, Amsterdam's houseboats — or rather the spaces they float — have become popular and expensive, with prices increasing 30% to 40% over the past five years alone, according to Jon Kok, one of the city's best known houseboat real estate agents. 阿姆斯特丹的船屋（更確切地說，是承載船屋的水面），原本的功用是在這昂貴的城市中作為相對廉價的住所，多年下來卻變得大受歡迎且價格高漲，阿姆斯特丹最知名船屋仲介公司之一「約翰科克」資料顯示，單單這五年來，船屋價格就漲了三到四成。 The whale's share of the price increase comes from the value of the berth, not the ship. 船屋價格上漲，主要是因為船席變得更值錢，而不是船體本身。 A typical Amsterdam canal berth might be worth close to a half-million dollars, depending on its location and how big a ship it will allow; some of the older, unrenovated ships in those berths might be worth only $20,000 (building a new ship, of course, is much more expensive). 一個典型的阿姆斯特丹運河船席，可能就要近50萬美元，視地點和可容下多大船隻而定。停在這種船席上的一些老舊未翻新船隻，可能只值兩萬美元。（當然，造新船貴得多。） But in this gentrification debate, the cost of new berths is less important than the architecture of the ship — and whether they ever served as actual commercial ships. 不過，在討論船屋愈來愈高級的話題時，新船席的價格並不如船隻的設計美感和是否曾作為真正的商船來得重要。 Once populated by converted working boats, the canal now holds an increasing number of floating houses designed to look like oceangoing vessels but with hardly any of the working features of a real boat. 阿姆斯特丹的運河曾經滿是工作船改造後的船屋，現在有愈來愈多的水上房屋，設計成外觀像遠洋船，但實際上幾乎不具備真正船隻的功能。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/348587/web/#2L-16188816L Next Article Topic: Japan has so many vacant homes it's giving them away Four years ago, Naoko and Takayuki Ida were given a house in the small town of Okutama, in Tokyo prefecture. For free. 4年前，井田直子與孝之得到一棟位於東京都小鎮奧多摩的房子。不用錢。 A free house may sound like a scam. But Japan faces an unusual property problem： it has more homes than people to live in them. 免費的房子聽起來像是騙局。但日本正面臨一項不尋常的房地產問題：房屋數量多於入住人數。 In 2013, there were 61 million houses and 52 million households, according to the Japan Policy Forum. And the situation is poised to get worse. 「日本政策論壇」指出，2013年時有6100萬間房子與5200萬戶家庭。而且，這種情況還會日益惡化。 Japan's population is expected to decline from 127 million to about 88 million by 2065, according to the National Institute of Population and Social Security, meaning even fewer people will need houses. As young people leave rural areas for city jobs, Japan's countryside has become haunted by deserted "ghost houses." 根據（日本）「國立社會保障、人口問題研究所」，預料日本人口到了2065年，會從1億2700萬減至約8800萬，意味需要房屋的人會更少。隨著年輕人為了在都市工作離開鄉間，日本鄉間已充斥遭棄置的「鬼屋」。 It's predicted that by 2040, nearly 900 towns and villages across Japan will no longer exist － and Okutama is one of them. In that context, giving away property is a bid for survival. 預料到了2040年，全日本將近900座小鎮與村莊將不復存在—奧多摩便是其中之一。在此情況下，贈送房地產便成為一種求生之道。 Next Article Topic: Part Office Building , Part Homeless Shelter A year ago, when Amazon let a homeless shelter for families move into a former motel it owned, it was viewed as a nice but fleeting gesture. The motel was on a chunk of downtown property where Amazon planned to eventually erect yet another set of sparkling buildings to meet its insatiable need for office space in this city. The hotel would be torn down and the shelter kicked out when that time came. 一年前，亞馬遜公司讓一個遊民（無處可住）家庭收容所遷進該公司所有，曾為汽車旅館的一棟建築，當時被認為是好心，但僅屬暫時性的善舉。 這家汽車旅館位於市中心的一大片地產上，亞馬遜最終計畫在這塊土地上興建另一批閃閃發光的建築，以因應該公司在這個城市對辦公室空間永難滿足的需求。當重建的時刻降臨時，旅館會被拆除，收容所也會被掃地出門。 Instead, Amazon has decided to let the shelter stay. In an unusual arrangement, the company has agreed to give the shelter, Mary's Place, a permanent home inside one of the new office buildings for which it will break ground in the fall. Amazon will give roughly half of the six-story building to the shelter, providing it with 47,000 square feet of space with private rooms that can hold 65 families, or about 220 people and their pets. The facility, expected to open in early 2020, will have its own entrance and elevators. 然而事非如此，亞馬遜已決定讓收容所留下。在一項不尋常的安排下，該公司已同意在預定秋天動工興建的新辦公大樓中的某一棟裡，讓收容所「瑪麗之家」擁有一個永遠的家。 亞馬遜準備大約將這棟六層樓大樓的一半提供給收容所，讓收容所擁有4萬7000平方英尺地坪，計有足可容納65戶家庭，或約220人和他們的寵物的私人房間。這項設施預計2020年年初啟用，將有自己的大門和電梯。 “I see it as this huge gift because everywhere we go, we end up leaving,” said Marty Hartman, the executive director of Mary's Place, which runs seven transitional shelters around the Seattle area meant to house families until they can find permanent homes. “You come in and become a fabric of the neighborhood you're in, and then you say goodbye. That's a hard thing for a lot of people to do.” In an interview at the current Mary's Place site owned by Amazon, which was bustling with families returning to the shelter for the evening, John Schoettler, Amazon's vice president for global real estate and facilities, said the company would spend “tens of millions of dollars” on the design and construction of the shelter's portion of the building. Amazon will pay the utilities for Mary's Place, which will occupy the space rent free, although the organization will continue to pay its own staff. 「瑪麗之家」執行長馬蒂．哈特曼說：「我把它看成天大的一份禮物，因為無論我們到那裏，最終都得離開。」「瑪麗之家」在西雅圖地區經營七個中途之家性質的收容所，收容一些尚未找到固定住所的家庭。她說：「你住進來，成為你所加入鄰里的一份子，然後又得說再見。這對很多人來說是件困難的事。」 「瑪麗之家」目前所在地產權為亞馬遜所擁有，此刻正因一些家庭返回過夜而顯得頗為熱鬧，亞馬遜主管全球房地產和設施的副總裁約翰．舒特勒在此處接受訪問表示，該公司將花費「數千萬美元」設計和建造這棟建築內的收容所部分。亞馬遜將支付「瑪麗之家」的水電費、讓「瑪麗之家」免租金使用空間，不過「瑪麗之家」將繼續支付他們自己員工的薪水。 Schoettler said Amazon originally allowed the shelter to stay in the motel because of the severity of Seattle's homelessness crisis, which had prompted the city's mayor to declare a state of emergency in 2015. Schoettler said Amazon was impressed by Mary's Place, and he described its plan to give the shelter a permanent home as an investment in the neighborhood. In San Francisco, Google, Salesforce.com and others have funded a campaign to find permanent housing for homeless people. But Nan Roman, president of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, a nonprofit advocacy group in Washington, D.C., said she was unaware of any other private corporation integrating a homeless shelter into its building. 舒特勒說，亞馬遜最初允許收容所搬進汽車旅館，是因西雅圖遊民危機十分嚴重。遊民危機2015年時促使西雅圖市長宣布進入緊急狀態。舒特勒說， 亞馬遜被瑪麗之家給打動了，他把亞馬遜計畫給收容所一個長久的家這件事，稱為該公司對當地社區的一項投資。 在舊金山，谷歌、Salesforce.com 和其他公司都在資助替無家可歸者尋找固定住處的一項運動。不過，華盛頓特區非營利宣導團體「終結無家可歸全國聯盟」總裁南恩．羅曼說，據她所知，沒有任何其他私人公司讓遊民收容所進住他們的大樓。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/314016/web/
Představte si, že uzavřete roční nájemní smlouvu, aniž byste viděli byt, který si chcete pronajmout, nebo se přímo setkali s jeho majitelem. Právě takový postup Ministerstvo vnitra požaduje po cizincích, kteří přijedou do Česka. Potvrzení o zajištěném ubytování je nutnou podmínkou k tomu, aby mohl v Česku člověk podat žádost o vízum. Místo, na němž se cizinec chystá bydlet následující rok, musí ministerstvu vnitra nahlásit dokonce ještě před příjezdem do Česka. A v případě, že se tento člověk přestěhuje na novou adresu, má tři dny na to, aby tuto informaci osobně nahlásil Cizinecké policii. Takto vzniklý problém s pronájmem bytu v Česku pomáhají cizincům řešit takzvaní obchodníci s adresami. Ti za pár tisíc korun ročně vystaví žadateli o vízum dokument, který potvrzuje, že má dotyčný kde bydlet. Jenže ve skutečnosti tento cizinec kde bydlet nemá. Podobnou službu se rozhodla skoro před dvaceti lety využít i naše reportérka Kristina Vejnbender, pocházející z Kazachstánu. Právě ona se tématu obchodu s adresami podrobně věnuje. O obchodování s doklady o ubytování si s redaktorkou investigace.cz Kristinou Vejnbender povídal redaktor Jiří Slavičínský.

Stát slibuje zohledňovat vzdělávací potřeby jednotlivce, vzájemnou úctu a respekt, názorovou snášenlivost, solidaritu a důstojnost všech účastníků vzdělávání. Pedagogům pak, mimo jiné, ukládá povinnost svým přístupem k výchově a vzdělávání vytvářet pozitivní a bezpečné klima ve školním prostředí a podporovat jeho rozvoj. Zní vám to fajn? Markétě (krom té povinnosti) ano. Zní to jako popis většiny běžných škol? Bohužel nikoli. Podíváme se na to, ve kterých ohledech se nejčastěji liší legislativa a školní praxe. A taky na to hlavní – proč školství tak, jak je nastaveno, nezohledňuje skutečné potřeby dětí, i jak jinak (a proč) se děti mohou vzdělávat s radostí a efektivně.

Berlin, Samstag, der 3. Juni 2017. Die Sonne brennt auf Björns Kopf. Einige Minuten steht er jetzt schon vor dem Supermarkt – dem verabredeten Treffpunkt. Er stellt die Tasche auf den Boden und blickt auf seine Armbanduhr. 13:09 Uhr zeigt sie ihm an. „Sie werden irgendwo im Verkehr festhängen“ denkt Björn. Er blickt nach oben in einen strahlend blauen Himmel. Gedanklich geht er noch einmal alles durch: „Windeln, Wechselklamotten, Trinkflaschen, Schaufel, was zum Knabbern…. Habe ich alles?“. Der zweifache Vater hat den Tag genau geplant. Es soll ein schöner Tag werden. Erst will er zum Spielplatz – Sandburgen bauen. Dann vielleicht ein Eis. Der 39ährige blickt wieder auf die Uhr. 13:14 Uhr. „Komisch?!“ denkt er und beginnt sich etwas zu ärgern. Fast eine halbe Stunde steht er hier jetzt schon vor dem Supermarkt und wartet. Dabei ist ihm jede Minute so kostbar, jede Minute mit den Kindern – jede Minute mit seinen Kindern! Björn sieht seine beiden Söhne, nach der Trennung von seiner Frau, nur zwei Mal die Woche. Hier, vor dem Supermarkt, finden die Übergaben statt. Beim letzten Treffen konnte er sie schon von Weitem lachen hören. Sie hatten ein Wettrennen gemacht: Wer zuerst in Papas Arme rennt. Der Große gibt dem Kleinen meistens einen Vorsprung. Björn liebt es, wenn sie mit offenen Armen zu ihm rennen. Doch heute herrscht Totenstille. Björn blickt nach rechts. Aus dieser Richtung kommen sie sonst immer. Aber: nichts! Wieder blickt er zur Uhr: nun zeigt sie 13:28 Uhr. Björn wird ungeduldig. Er greift in seine Hosentasche und holt sein Handy heraus. Im Adressbuch sucht er den Eintrag „Naoko“ – seine Ex-Frau – und wählt die Nummer. Es klingelt – und klingelt. Sechs Mal. Dann geht die Mailbox ran. „Hallo, ich bin gerade nicht zu erreichen…“ Björn legt auf. Wieder blickt er rechts die Straße hinunter. Niemand! Ihn überkommt ein ungutes Gefühl, eine Vorahnung. Doch es sollte alles noch viel schlimmer kommen, als er es sich in diesem Moment ausmalt. Er wird die Nummer, die Nummer von Naoko, in den nächsten Tagen und Monaten noch tausend Mal wählen. Aber erreichen, erreichen wird er sie nicht. Nie wieder. Und seine Kinder wird Björn ebenfalls nie wieder sehen!

歡迎留言告訴我們你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cl81kivnk00dn01wffhwxdg2s/comments Topic: In Amsterdam, Floating Homes That Only Look Like Ships When Karen Bosma first moved her boat to the Borneokade, northeast of Amsterdam's bustling city center, in 1999, the neighborhood was barely more than a cluster of commercial docks and underused warehouses. 凱倫．博斯馬1999年剛把她的船移到荷蘭首都阿姆斯特丹熱鬧市中心東北方的波諾卡德時，這一帶幾乎只有成排商船船席和不常使用的倉庫。 “It was for poor people — a lot of artists lived on boats,” she said, sitting in her neat, cozy living room just below the waterline. 博斯馬坐在她整潔舒適的客廳裡回憶說：「當時這是窮人聚居區，很多藝術家住在船上。」客廳就在吃水線下方。 In the quarter century since, Bosma, a 62-year-old social worker, and her husband have raised two sons on the Distel, a 1912 82-foot freighter, which — stripped of its engine, fuel tanks and cargo hold — is one of Amsterdam's iconic houseboats, with a seagoing hull, wheelhouse and curtained windows. 此後的四分之一個世紀，現年62歲的社工博斯馬和先生，在這艘船上把兩個兒子帶大。這艘船名叫「迪斯特爾」，是1912年打造的貨船，長25公尺，引擎、燃料槽和貨艙都已去除，是阿姆斯特丹著名船屋之一，具備遠洋船船體、舵手室和裝上窗簾的窗子。 Three boats down lies the B18, an elegant 131-foot, 2 1/2-story floating mansion (with more than 3,000 square feet of interior space) that shows just how perfectly the soul of a luxury yacht combines with open-space living and elegant living quarters. 三艘船以外停泊著B18，是雅緻的兩層半水上豪宅，長40公尺，室內面積超過279平方公尺（約84坪），顯示奢華遊艇的精髓如何與室外生活和優美的室內起居空間完美結合。 “It has to be a ship on the outside and a house on the inside,” said Gijs Haverkate, 53, who created the vessel and lives on it with his family. 53歲的哈福卡特造了B18，並與家人住在船上，他說：「B18必須外觀是艘船，內部是個家。」 In the Dutch capital, houseboats have gone upmarket. The new owners are wealthy and discerning, interested in new designs, upgraded comfort and sustainability. 在阿姆斯特丹，船屋已變得高檔了。新一批船屋主人富裕且有品味，對新設計、更高的舒適感和永續性都很感興趣。 Haverkate, a designer by trade, hopes his boat will inspire others to build on the water. He runs UrbanShips, a company that builds customized houseboats designed to look like ships. 哈福卡特以設計為業，希望他的船能激勵別人在水上蓋房子。他經營「都市船」公司，依照客戶需求打造看來像船隻的船屋。 After years of serving as a relatively cheap place to live in an expensive city, Amsterdam's houseboats — or rather the spaces they float — have become popular and expensive, with prices increasing 30% to 40% over the past five years alone, according to Jon Kok, one of the city's best known houseboat real estate agents. 阿姆斯特丹的船屋（更確切地說，是承載船屋的水面），原本的功用是在這昂貴的城市中作為相對廉價的住所，多年下來卻變得大受歡迎且價格高漲，阿姆斯特丹最知名船屋仲介公司之一「約翰科克」資料顯示，單單這五年來，船屋價格就漲了三到四成。 The whale's share of the price increase comes from the value of the berth, not the ship. 船屋價格上漲，主要是因為船席變得更值錢，而不是船體本身。 A typical Amsterdam canal berth might be worth close to a half-million dollars, depending on its location and how big a ship it will allow; some of the older, unrenovated ships in those berths might be worth only $20,000 (building a new ship, of course, is much more expensive). 一個典型的阿姆斯特丹運河船席，可能就要近50萬美元，視地點和可容下多大船隻而定。停在這種船席上的一些老舊未翻新船隻，可能只值兩萬美元。（當然，造新船貴得多。） But in this gentrification debate, the cost of new berths is less important than the architecture of the ship — and whether they ever served as actual commercial ships. 不過，在討論船屋愈來愈高級的話題時，新船席的價格並不如船隻的設計美感和是否曾作為真正的商船來得重要。 Once populated by converted working boats, the canal now holds an increasing number of floating houses designed to look like oceangoing vessels but with hardly any of the working features of a real boat. 阿姆斯特丹的運河曾經滿是工作船改造後的船屋，現在有愈來愈多的水上房屋，設計成外觀像遠洋船，但實際上幾乎不具備真正船隻的功能。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/348587/web/#2L-16188816L Next Article Topic: Japan has so many vacant homes it's giving them away Four years ago, Naoko and Takayuki Ida were given a house in the small town of Okutama, in Tokyo prefecture. For free. 4年前，井田直子與孝之得到一棟位於東京都小鎮奧多摩的房子。不用錢。 A free house may sound like a scam. But Japan faces an unusual property problem： it has more homes than people to live in them. 免費的房子聽起來像是騙局。但日本正面臨一項不尋常的房地產問題：房屋數量多於入住人數。 In 2013, there were 61 million houses and 52 million households, according to the Japan Policy Forum. And the situation is poised to get worse. 「日本政策論壇」指出，2013年時有6100萬間房子與5200萬戶家庭。而且，這種情況還會日益惡化。 Japan's population is expected to decline from 127 million to about 88 million by 2065, according to the National Institute of Population and Social Security, meaning even fewer people will need houses. As young people leave rural areas for city jobs, Japan's countryside has become haunted by deserted "ghost houses." 根據（日本）「國立社會保障、人口問題研究所」，預料日本人口到了2065年，會從1億2700萬減至約8800萬，意味需要房屋的人會更少。隨著年輕人為了在都市工作離開鄉間，日本鄉間已充斥遭棄置的「鬼屋」。 It's predicted that by 2040, nearly 900 towns and villages across Japan will no longer exist － and Okutama is one of them. In that context, giving away property is a bid for survival. 預料到了2040年，全日本將近900座小鎮與村莊將不復存在—奧多摩便是其中之一。在此情況下，贈送房地產便成為一種求生之道。 Next Article Topic: Part Office Building , Part Homeless Shelter A year ago, when Amazon let a homeless shelter for families move into a former motel it owned, it was viewed as a nice but fleeting gesture. The motel was on a chunk of downtown property where Amazon planned to eventually erect yet another set of sparkling buildings to meet its insatiable need for office space in this city. The hotel would be torn down and the shelter kicked out when that time came. 一年前，亞馬遜公司讓一個遊民（無處可住）家庭收容所遷進該公司所有，曾為汽車旅館的一棟建築，當時被認為是好心，但僅屬暫時性的善舉。 這家汽車旅館位於市中心的一大片地產上，亞馬遜最終計畫在這塊土地上興建另一批閃閃發光的建築，以因應該公司在這個城市對辦公室空間永難滿足的需求。當重建的時刻降臨時，旅館會被拆除，收容所也會被掃地出門。 Instead, Amazon has decided to let the shelter stay. In an unusual arrangement, the company has agreed to give the shelter, Mary's Place, a permanent home inside one of the new office buildings for which it will break ground in the fall. Amazon will give roughly half of the six-story building to the shelter, providing it with 47,000 square feet of space with private rooms that can hold 65 families, or about 220 people and their pets. The facility, expected to open in early 2020, will have its own entrance and elevators. 然而事非如此，亞馬遜已決定讓收容所留下。在一項不尋常的安排下，該公司已同意在預定秋天動工興建的新辦公大樓中的某一棟裡，讓收容所「瑪麗之家」擁有一個永遠的家。 亞馬遜準備大約將這棟六層樓大樓的一半提供給收容所，讓收容所擁有4萬7000平方英尺地坪，計有足可容納65戶家庭，或約220人和他們的寵物的私人房間。這項設施預計2020年年初啟用，將有自己的大門和電梯。 “I see it as this huge gift because everywhere we go, we end up leaving,” said Marty Hartman, the executive director of Mary's Place, which runs seven transitional shelters around the Seattle area meant to house families until they can find permanent homes. “You come in and become a fabric of the neighborhood you're in, and then you say goodbye. That's a hard thing for a lot of people to do.” In an interview at the current Mary's Place site owned by Amazon, which was bustling with families returning to the shelter for the evening, John Schoettler, Amazon's vice president for global real estate and facilities, said the company would spend “tens of millions of dollars” on the design and construction of the shelter's portion of the building. Amazon will pay the utilities for Mary's Place, which will occupy the space rent free, although the organization will continue to pay its own staff. 「瑪麗之家」執行長馬蒂．哈特曼說：「我把它看成天大的一份禮物，因為無論我們到那裏，最終都得離開。」「瑪麗之家」在西雅圖地區經營七個中途之家性質的收容所，收容一些尚未找到固定住所的家庭。她說：「你住進來，成為你所加入鄰里的一份子，然後又得說再見。這對很多人來說是件困難的事。」 「瑪麗之家」目前所在地產權為亞馬遜所擁有，此刻正因一些家庭返回過夜而顯得頗為熱鬧，亞馬遜主管全球房地產和設施的副總裁約翰．舒特勒在此處接受訪問表示，該公司將花費「數千萬美元」設計和建造這棟建築內的收容所部分。亞馬遜將支付「瑪麗之家」的水電費、讓「瑪麗之家」免租金使用空間，不過「瑪麗之家」將繼續支付他們自己員工的薪水。 Schoettler said Amazon originally allowed the shelter to stay in the motel because of the severity of Seattle's homelessness crisis, which had prompted the city's mayor to declare a state of emergency in 2015. Schoettler said Amazon was impressed by Mary's Place, and he described its plan to give the shelter a permanent home as an investment in the neighborhood. In San Francisco, Google, Salesforce.com and others have funded a campaign to find permanent housing for homeless people. But Nan Roman, president of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, a nonprofit advocacy group in Washington, D.C., said she was unaware of any other private corporation integrating a homeless shelter into its building. 舒特勒說，亞馬遜最初允許收容所搬進汽車旅館，是因西雅圖遊民危機十分嚴重。遊民危機2015年時促使西雅圖市長宣布進入緊急狀態。舒特勒說， 亞馬遜被瑪麗之家給打動了，他把亞馬遜計畫給收容所一個長久的家這件事，稱為該公司對當地社區的一項投資。 在舊金山，谷歌、Salesforce.com 和其他公司都在資助替無家可歸者尋找固定住處的一項運動。不過，華盛頓特區非營利宣導團體「終結無家可歸全國聯盟」總裁南恩．羅曼說，據她所知，沒有任何其他私人公司讓遊民收容所進住他們的大樓。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/314016/web/ Powered by Firstory Hosting
On the podcast today, we have Naoko Takano. A few days from now, from the 17th to the 19th February 2023, to be precise, the first in-person WordCamp Asia will take place in Bangkok, Thailand. If you follow WordPress events closely, then I'm sure that you've seen the excitement mounting. Naoko is on the podcast today to talk about this important event; how it came to be and why it matters. We start off getting some background on Naoko and her personal journey with WordPress. She's currently sponsored full time by Automattic to work with the wordpress.org community and polyglots teams. The conversation then turns to the event itself. It's sold out, but you can still take part by watching the live streams of the three tracks that are running. Towards the end of the podcast, we get into the important question of why we need a WordCamp Asia. Naoko makes the point that the other ‘flagship' WordPress events are not that accessible for some people. This could be because of the difficulty in acquiring visas for the U.S. or Europe, but also the costs of travelling to the event and accommodation whilst there. If you're attending WordCamp Asia in-person or online, this podcast will give you a new perspective on the event, and if you're not planning on being there, maybe this episode will make you rethink.
We open our first New Year episode to share One word we'd like to focus on intentionally this year. Naoness also honors MLK day 2023 with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s open letter, "Letter from Birmingham Jail," written in August 1963, after he was imprisoned as a participant in a nonviolent demonstration. 69 years later, what have we learned from America's landscape, and as women of color, what is our part in living through the continued inequities in our society? We have the moral responsibility to take a "strong, persistent, and determined action" when injustices occur because "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

Final recording for 2022! We have so much to celebrate with our 38th episode to date. Thank you to our listeners, the "Adventurers" that you are! Spotify shares with us that you like to venture out into the unknown, searching for fresher podcasts and gems yet to be found. Yaas! That's us—the hidden gem of Naoko x Naoko's 35-year friendship. We open up the chat with the Japanese culture of ohaka mairi and how Japan transitions from Christmas festivities to families coming together and eating soba or long buckwheat noodles for longevity on New Year's Eve. We pivot to ask ourselves, inspired by Brené Brown, "What is a piece of advice that's either so good you need to share it or so shitty you need to warn people?” Truth is also hard to tell and we discuss what it means to bring our authentic selves to work. Happy New Year 2023! The Morning: A happier new year (NY Times) Adam Grant's post: "Quitting your job isn't being disloyal to your boss. Sometimes it's the only way to stay loyal to yourself. If work threatens your well-being, leaving is an act of self-preservation. If work violates your values, quitting is an expression of integrity."

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 53! In today's In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) Encore Episode, we revisit one of our favorite interviews that originally aired Season 1, Episode 37. Professor Naoko Wake is the author of American Survivors: Trans-Pacific Memories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki published by Cambridge University Press. She is a historian of gender, sexuality, and illness in the twentieth century United States and the Pacific Rim who works at Michigan State University. She joined us to have a conversation about her book and the interviews she conducted. It was a sad yet fascinating piece of our history that we rarely hear about. We urge everyone to go out and read this book.

It's like a free trip to a land full of drunks. Enjoy!
