Za pár dnů mu bude třiaosmdesát let, ale drží se ve skvělé formě. Dělat s ním rozhovor je radost: světoznámý hudební skladatel Petr Kotík každou chvíli překvapuje provokativní myšlenkou: „Tady v Praze vás obtěžuje na každém rohu nějaká památka,“ posteskne si například v dalším díle podcastu Host Reportéra. Petr Kotík žije převážně v New Yorku, ale když má odpovědět, je-li dnes spíše Čechem, nebo Američanem, nechce se mu. „To vůbec nevím,“ říká. „A ani o tom nepřemýšlím, protože mám odjakživa vrozený odpor k jakémukoliv nacionalismu. Nikdy jsem se o takové věci nestaral. Jsem Petr Kotík, co vyrostl v Praze, kde pak byl i vyškolen, stejně jako ve Vídni, a od šedesátého devátého roku žiju ve Spojených státech.“ Poněkud překvapivě zdůrazňuje, že jeho rozhodnutí opustit Československo nebylo v žádném případě politické. „V roce 1969 začaly být problémy s koncertováním v zahraničí. Tehdy jsem si prostě uvědomil, že je mi sedmadvacet let, potřebuju někde soustředěně sedět, komponovat, hrát muziku, a nemůžu utápět život v řešení zdejšího hnoje. Šel jsem si za hudbou, za prací. Když jsem v USA potkával čerstvé emigranty z Československa, kteří se obvykle tvářili jako mučedníci, nechtěl jsem s nimi mít nic společného.“ V podcastu hovoří i o svém názoru na současné změny ve Spojených státech. Je kritikem Donalda Trumpa, svůj hlas by mu v žádném případě nedal, ale rozumí důvodům, proč byl zvolen: „Jedním z rozhodujících faktorů byla nesmyslná politická korektnost, která už Ameriku začala ovládat nesnesitelným způsobem. Zatímco Trump k tomu byl v jasné opozici, vedení demokratické strany ani trochu.“ Kotíkovy kariéry se požadavek takzvané korektnosti nemohl příliš dotknout, protože nemá žádné zaměstnání, o které by se musel bát. „Jsem nezaměstnatelný,“ uznává v podcastu. „Když jsem to někdy zkusil, hned mě vyhodili. Životem procházím s filosofií, kterou shrnul můj mentor, vědec a filosof Buckminster Fuller. Ten říkal, že když budu dělat správné věci, tak se o mě Bůh postará, což zatím funguje. Člověk jednoduše nesmí přijít o respekt k sobě samému, o svoji osobní integritu. Protože jak říkával pro změnu Ernest Hemingway, integrita je jako panenství. Přijdete o ni jen jednou – a navždy.“ V rodné Praze oslaví Petr Kotík narozeniny z toho důvodu, že o den později, v úterý 28. ledna, uspořádá Pražská komorní filharmonie mimořádný večer ve Švandově divadle, v němž se propojí skladby Petra Kotíka a jeho slavného newyorského kolegy a přítele Philipa Glasse. Koncert je už vyprodaný, Kotík se na něj těší. „Philipa jsem poznal v šedesátých letech, kdy ještě nebyl moc známý. Vlastně jsme souputníci. On je sice o pět let starší, ale zároveň začal skládat později než já, ode mě se dodnes hraje například skladba Congo z roku 1962. Vedli jsme spolu dlouhé a soustředěné rozhovory, které jsme nakonec i zaznamenávali, protože nám došlo, že máme leccos společného. Jsme například samouci, co se týče komponování. Taky jsme oba vždy měli svůj vlastní soubor, se kterým jsme coby skladatelé vystupovali, a tak dále. Rozdílné je jen prostředí, z něhož pocházíme. Glassův otec provozoval obchod s deskami a hudba, která se neprodávala, pro něj neměla smysl, do toho se Philip narodil. A já naopak vyrůstal v umělecké rodině, kde finanční zisk nikoho nezajímal. Proto skládal Glass úplně jiné věci než já, ale důležitý je jen výsledek. A já mám pocit, že umělecky jsme si měli vždycky co říct.“ Unikátní rozhovor Petra Kotíka s Philipem Glassem, vedený v New Yorku v roce 2014, vydává PKF u příležitosti úterního koncertu, a téměř dvouhodinový rozhovor Petra Kotíka s tázajícím se občas žasnoucím Tomášem Poláčkem si můžete poslechnout v podcastu Host Reportéra.

Karen Green started from humble beginnings. Born in Donnybrook in Western Australia to a farming family, her parents moved to the little town of Beacon (population 160) on the frontier of the wheatbelt, where they ran sheep and grew wheat. At the age of 12 she was shipped off to boarding school in Northam and then went on to study accounting at Curtin University. After a brief stint with an accounting firm in the Perth CBD, Karen was transferred to their Port Hedland office where she was put in charge after only six months when her manager decided he'd head off. Karen and her husband eventually decided to move further north and came to Darwin in the early nineties where she joined PKF and then Deloitte. Karen was a Partner at Deloitte in Darwin for over 20 years and was one of only five female Partners in the whole of Australia when she was promoted in the late nineties. She recently retired from the partnership and has started her own consultancy. She also serves on a number of boards. She's also an avid water skier.

Providing examples of best in class facilities, he offers insights on creating community, experiential engaged experiences and opportunities for residents to lead active and fulfilled lives. About Peter Peter Anderson is a 30-year veteran in the leisure industries. He is the founder and CEO of Anderson and Associates, a consultancy firm specializing in developing and programming issues related to senior lifestyle communities, wellness real estate as well as resorts and spas.

Mr. Anderson holds a Bachelor of Arts in Physiological Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and a Masters of Professional Studies in Hotel Administration from Cornell University. Key Takeaways: There is a trend towards seniors “doing” as opposed to “having things done” for them. The fallacy is that once you reach a certain age, you need help to clean your home's and fix your food. When we treat residents as helpless, it takes away the human need to contribute to something bigger than ourselves. Create buildings and public space to make access to nature easier. Common areas with garden pathways provide year-round access to greenery; a gazebo will offer shade in hot weather. Community gardens create environments where people will tend their crops and then share and swap them. Beyond going out to take a nature walk, tending to plants and watching them grow creates purpose and self-sufficiency. In urban environments, design balconies and decking off the units for individual access to fresh air and a view. If feasible, consider creating a green roof. Technology is being adapted for less tech-savvy users. Look more user-friendly interfaces and functional changes such as larger buttons with more illumination.
