Podcasts about Riga

In this episode we speak with Attila Csihar of the legendary Black Metal band MAYHEM, as they perform and bring Death Over Europe in support of their latest album ''Liturgy of Death'', just days before their show in Riga, Latvia.Our conversation goes far beyond the surface. Attila reflects on the creative process behind the new record, and how the material evolves once it reaches the stage. We discuss meditation and yoga as forms of mental discipline, the role of philosophy and esoteric traditions in his life, and how ancient texts, mysticism, ideas like samsara and reincarnation continue to shape his perspective.The discussion moves through themes of consciousness, near-death experiences, the limits of perception, and the idea that black metal can be a vehicle for something deeper than aggression.Mayhem will perform live at Riga, Latvia, 25.02.2026.Facebook event for this concert: https://fb.me/e/6PGreL99VTickets: https://ticketshop.lv/lv/events/106352Mayhem:https://www.thetruemayhem.com/https://www.facebook.com/mayhemofficial/https://www.instagram.com/thetruemayhemhttps://www.youtube.com/user/MayhemOfficialVideohttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0dR10i73opHXuRuLbgxltM?si=9xLhWARLSPCfDxhbf805XgTormentor:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100044603740073https://www.instagram.com/tormentorofficialhttps://tormentor666.bandcamp.comhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/3MkoLr1zlZNu0Fz0M0oQHj?si=nBmm6kpCSYuuVX2UOgtnmwPictures of Attila are taken by Gronnenhell / Gronnonland:https://www.youtube.com/@GronnOnlandhttps://www.facebook.com/gronnonlandhttps://www.instagram.com/gronnonland/A huge thanks to UCE Agency, Cult Of Chaos, Oktober Promotion and Vārnu Laiks for arranging this interview and organizing the concert in Riga!https://www.facebook.com/urbancultureenthttps://www.facebook.com/cultofchaos/https://www.facebook.com/OktoberPromotion/https://www.facebook.com/VarnuLaiks0:00 - Intro1:47 - The new "Liturgy Of Death" album3:50 - Vocal experimentation in the new album6:08 - Meditation as mental hygiene 7:43 - Life, Death, perception and what really matters19:42 - Is Death the end or a transition?26:31 - Advice on dealing with perception of life 40:11 - Mayhem's upcoming concert in Latvia45:51 - Closing words 1/2.

Hello 2026, and goodbye to another longstanding record in the world of professional running.  Mr. Versatility himself, Hobbs Kessler, barged into the New Year like a storm and crushed Kenenisa Bekele's 2,000m Indoor World Record with a 4:48.79 at Boston University on January 24 to set a new standard. (Grant Fisher also beat the World Record time with a still-sizzling 4:49.48.)  Hobbs is a one-time World Indoor Championship Bronze Medalist (he earned the bronze medal in the 1500m at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow); a one-time World Road Running Champion (he won the inaugural road mile event at the 2023 World Road Running Championships in Riga, setting a world record at the time); he finished fifth in the 1500m final at the 2024 Paris Olympics); and he is a two-time National Indoor Champion (in 2025, he won U.S. National Indoor titles in both the 1500m and the 3000m).  Simply amazing numbers for an athlete who is just 22 years old. If you want to understand where the sport is going, you need to hear from the athletes already living there. And Hobbs is at the frontline of a group of stars ready to etch their names in the history books. Tap into the Hobbs Kessler Special. If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

A conversation with Ryan Förster - from BLASPHEMY fan to member, later co-founding CONQUEROR and continuing the lineage with DEATH WORSHIP. He remains one of the defining figures behind the term "War Metal".Recorded during Death Worship's 2026 European tour at their January 25th concert in Riga, Latvia, we discuss the origins of the "War Metal" label, the early chaos of the scene, memories tied to the infamous ROSS BAY CEMETERY, and how the shock value of the genre has evolved over time.Ryan also shares his experience of being in Israel while missiles were landing nearby - a perspective that puts the sound and its themes into a very real context.Ryan also runs the ROSS BAY CULT ETERNAL merch store and socials, that is all about War Metal, Blasphemy, Conqueror, Revenge, Death Worship and other related bands.

Stāsta medicīnas vēsturniece, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes docente Maija Pozemkovska; pārraides producente – Maruta Rubeze Spalvainais degunradzis ir viens no lielākajiem izmirušajiem zīdītājiem, kas dzīvojis ledus laikmeta beigās Eirāzijas ziemeļos, arī Latvijas teritorijā. Spalvainais degunradzis bija mamuta laikabiedrs, apaudzis ar rūsgani brūnu spalvu, augumā mazāks par mamutu, taču gana iespaidīgs. Spalvainā degunradža augums bija divarpus metru, un, kā jau degunradzim, tam bija divi ragi, turklāt priekšējā, lielākā raga garums bija pāri vienam metram (~1m 30 cm). Lielais rags tika izmantots aizsardzībai un sniega attīrīšanai barības meklējumos. Spalvainais degunradzis svēra no divām līdz trim tonnām. Latvijas teritorijā tas dzīvoja vairāk nekā pirms 12 tūkstošiem gadu. Šī izmirušā dzīvnieka paliekas – kaulu fragmenti – Latvijā atrasti divreiz – 1861. un 1928. gadā; abas reizes – pie Zveņģes upītes, starp Lielvārdi un Rembati. Spalvainā  degunradža meklējumos Latvijā lieli nopelni bija Rīgas Dabaspētnieku biedrībai (Naturforscher-Verein zu Riga), ko 1845. gadā dibināja Vidzemes ārsti, aptiekāri, luterāņu mācītāji un skolotāji ar mērķi veicināt sabiedrības interesi par dabaszinātnēm. Tā kā šajā biedrībā galvenokārt bija vācbaltieši, biedrību likvidēja 1939. gada novembrī, pēc vācbaltiešu izceļošanas. Tad, kad Latvijas teritorijā parādījās pirmie iedzīvotāji, ziemeļbriežu mednieki, ledum atkāpjoties, spalvainais degunradzis jau bija izmiris. Pirmais, kas aprakstīja spalvaino degunradzi pirms vairāk nekā divsimt gadiem (1799) un deva latīnisko nosaukumu Rhinoceros Antiquitatis, bija vācu ārsts un dabaszinātnieks Johans Frīdrihs Blūmenbahs (Blumenbach; 1752–1840). Viņš bija viens no zooloģijas un antropoloģijas kā salīdzinošo zinātnisko disciplīnu pamatlicējiem. Vēl pirms Blūmenbaha lielu ieguldījumu spalvainā degunradža izpētē deva slavenais vācu dabaszinātnieks Pēters Simons Pallass (Pallas; 1741–1811).  Pēc Krievijas ķeizarienes Katrīnas II uzaicinājuma viņš devās ekspedīcijā uz Sibīriju, kā rezultātā norādīja uz spalvainā degunradža izplatību šajā reģionā un 1772. gadā Irkutskā no vietējiem iedzīvotājiem ieguva izmirušā dzīvnieka galvu un divas kājas, jo pārējais bija apēsts, un āda izmantota apģērbam. Spalvainā degunradža fosīliju atradums Staruņā (Starunia, Polijas teritorijā, kas mūsdienās ir Ukraina), dziļā ozokerīta raktuvē (12,5 m dziļumā) 1929. gada 23. oktobrī bija pasaules sensācija: tika atrasts vienīgais, vispilnīgākais šīs sugas eksemplārs ne tikai ar saglabātu skeletu, bet arī daļu no iekšējiem orgāniem, muskuļiem un ādu. Jaunā, apmēram trīs gadus vecā mātīte bija mirusi aptuveni pirms trīsdesmit tūkstoš gadiem. Šī eksemplāra unikālā fosilizācija bija iespējama, pateicoties labvēlīgiem ģeoloģiskiem apstākļiem, turklāt dzīvnieks zemes dzīlēs bija gulējis augšpēdus, un, iespējams, tāpēc ķermenim bija tikai nelieli bojājumi. Ar Polijas armijas palīdzību divu mēnešu laikā spalvainais degunradzis bija sagatavots transportēšanai un nogādāts Krakovā. Šī ziņa ātri sasniedza Latviju, un mākslinieks butaforists Oļģerts Krūmiņš (1904–1989) tolaik Eiropā pirmais modelēja spalvaino degunradzi dabīgā lielumā. Maketa izgatavošanai tika izlietoti vairāk nekā 80 kg vecu avīžu, ko sabāza lielā dzīvnieka "skeletā", izgatavotā ar metāla stiepļu palīdzību, savukārt ragi tika gatavoti no koka. Lielizmēra maketu izstādīja Izglītības ministrijas Skolu muzeja rīkotā "Daugavas izstādē" 1932. gadā, piesaistot gandrīz desmit tūkstošus apmeklētāju. (No 1925. līdz 1938.g. Skolu muzejs atradās Valdemāra ielā 36a, aizņemot trīspadsmit telpas divos augšējos ēkas stāvos.) Izcilais butafors Oļģerts Krūmiņš pēc Skolu muzeja likvidācijas 1951. gadā strādāja Medicīnas vēstures muzejā. Viņa veidotās diorāmas par viduslaiku medicīnu joprojām apskatāmas Paula Stradiņa Medicīnas vēstures muzejā. Oļģerta Krūmiņa izgatavotais makets nav saglabājies, toties Staruņā atrastā spalvainā degunradža skelets, izbāzenis (rekonstrukcija) un anatomiskie preparāti (piemēram, mēle, aukslējas, ausis) mūsdienās aplūkojami pastāvīgajā ekspozīcijā Polijas Zinātņu akadēmijas Dabas vēstures muzejā Krakovā (Muzeum Przyrodnicze w Krakowie). Interesanti, ka arī 21. gadsimtā britu paleontologi Stafordšīrā atraduši vēl četru aizvēsturisko degunradžu skeletu paliekas. Meklējumi turpinās! Izmantotā literatūra: Lamsters, V.

Vous avez également consacré, en 2022, un ouvrage aux peuples Germano-Baltes, nés au XIII° siècle des migrations de colons allemands à Riga, l'actuelle capitale de la Lettonie.Les pays baltes regroupent aujourd'hui plus de 6 millions d'habitants et représentent un PIB d'approximativement 120 Mds€. Bordés par la mer Baltique à l'ouest, ils s'étendent sur 175 000 km2 et partagent leurs frontières avec la Russie, la Biélorussie et la Pologne. A mi-chemin entre la Russie et l'Europe de l'Ouest, ils constituent une interface stratégique entre l'Orient et l'Occident, au cœur des enjeux géopolitiques et militaires contemporains.L'héritage soviétique pèse lourd dans ces anciennes Républiques socialistes soviétiques, territoire convoité par la Russie depuis Pierre le Grand pour son ouverture sur la mer Baltique. Avant l'invasion de l'Ukraine, la Fédération de Russie était l'un des principaux partenaires commerciaux de la région. Il lui fournissait également l'essentiel de son approvisionnement en gaz naturel, à hauteur de 42% en Lituanie, de 93% en Estonie et 100% en Lettonie. Les russophones constituent une importante minorité au sein des Pays Baltes et représentent jusqu'à 30% de la population en Lettonie. La mémoire de l'annexion russe, enfin, reste problématique, comme l'illustre la récente loi sur la destruction des monuments soviétiques promulguées par l'Estonie en début d'année.Pour se prémunir des menaces russes, les pays baltes ont choisi l'ancrage à l'Ouest. Ils ont adhéré à l'Union européenne en 2004, marquant la réussite de la transition démocratique et économique accomplie depuis 1991. La même année, les États baltes rejoignent l'OTAN. L'Alliance implante dès 2008 son centre de cyberdéfense à Tallin, à la suite de la cyberattaque de l'Estonie dirigée par le Kremlin une année auparavant. A la suite du sommet de 2016, à Varsovie, des troupes permanentes sont déployées par l'OTAN dans les Pays baltes dès 2017, ainsi que des forces navales et aériennes en mer Baltique.L'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie projette les Pays Baltes au cœur des enjeux de défense du monde occidental. Ces États, qui ont mis en garde l'UE contre la menace russe dès 2004, s'inquiètent d'être les prochaines cibles de Vladimir Poutine. Le corridor de Suwalki, qui permet aux Russes de desservir leur enclave européenne de Kaliningrad par la Biélorussie et comporte depuis 2016 des batteries de missile à capacité nucléaire, est au centre des tensions. Une crise avait même éclaté en juin 2022, à la suite de la décision de la Lituanie de restreindre le transit de marchandises par voie ferrée vers l'enclave russe, en accord avec les sanctions européennes. Dans ce contexte explosif, le prochain sommet de l'OTAN se tiendra en juillet à Vilnius, capitale de la Lituanie. Il y sera notamment question de la mise en place de nouveaux plans de défense pour la région baltique, mais aussi de l'adhésion de la Suède, candidate fortement soutenue par les Etats baltes.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

I sat down with Andrew Jefford (wine writer & columnist) and Aigards Nords (organizer of @RigaWineChampagne ) to discuss one of wine's great rivalries: Bordeaux vs. Burgundy. We talk why these regions are so often compared, what really separates them in the glass, and how ideas like terroir vs. estate shape the way we talk about them. We also look at the bigger forces behind the bottles - pricing and value, shifting consumer demand vs. wine-list trends and what might be next for both regions.Be sure to check out Andrew Jefford's latest book

fWotD Episode 3159: Moltke-class battlecruiser Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 28 December 2025, is Moltke-class battlecruiser.The Moltke class was a class of two "all-big-gun" battlecruisers of the German Imperial Navy built between 1909–1911. Named SMS Moltke and SMS Goeben, they were similar to the previous battlecruiser Von der Tann, but the newer design featured several incremental improvements. The Moltkes were slightly larger, faster, and better armored, and had an additional pair of 28 cm (11 in) guns.Both ships served during World War I. Moltke participated in several major battles with the rest of the High Seas Fleet, including the battles of Dogger Bank and Jutland in the North Sea, and the Battle of the Gulf of Riga and Operation Albion in the Baltic Sea. At the end of the war, Moltke was interned with the majority of the High Seas Fleet at Scapa Flow while the ships' fate was being discussed during peace treaty negotiations. The ships were scuttled on 21 June 1919 to prevent their seizure by the Allies.Goeben was stationed in the Mediterranean at the start of the war; she escaped from pursuing Royal Navy ships to Constantinople. The ship, along with the light cruiser Breslau, was transferred to the Ottoman Navy soon after arrival. Strategically, Goeben played a very important role: she helped bring the Ottoman Empire into the war as a member of the Central Powers, and by acting as a fleet in being the ship prevented Anglo-French attempts to force the Bosporus, and similarly stymied a possible advance by the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Goeben was retained by the new Turkish government after the war. Only slightly modified from her original configuration, the ship remained on active service with the Turkish Navy until being decommissioned on 20 December 1950; she was stricken from the Navy register on 14 November 1954. The ship was unsuccessfully offered for sale to the West German government in 1963. Without a group willing to preserve her as a museum, the ship was sold to M. K. E. Seyman in 1971 for scrapping. She was towed to the breakers on 7 June 1973, and the work was completed in February 1976.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:37 UTC on Sunday, 28 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Moltke-class battlecruiser on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Gregory.

Vicente Fox enfrenta su primer conflicto internacional al pedirle a Fidel Castro que coma y se vaya de la Cumbre de la ONU en Monterrey; el surgimiento de las botas de charol y el ecuentro con el rey de España

Eine Pionierin der Germanistik war die 1879 in einer jüdischen Kaufmannsfamilie in Berlin geborene Agathe Lasch. Sie wurde an der Universität Hamburg 1923 die erste Professorin dieses Faches in Deutschland und gilt als Begründerin der historischen Erforschung der mittelniederdeutschen Sprache. Eines ihrer Spezialgebiete war die Untersuchung von verschiedenen Dialekten. Neben der Konzipierung des erst 1956 erscheinenden Handwörterbuchs des Mittelniederdeutschen, publizierte sie also auch etwa ein Buch mit dem Titel „Berlinisch“. Am Leben von Agathe Lasch lässt sich nicht nur das Emanzipationsstreben der Frauen greifen, leider ist sie auch ein Beispiel für die Vernichtungspolitik des Nationalsozialismus. Nach einem Berufsverbot, dem Verbot der Nutzung von Universitätsbibliotheken, der Beschlagnahmung der Privatbibliothek und dem Verbot, Rufe an ausländischen Universitäten anzunehmen, wurde sie 1942 mit ihren Schwestern nach Riga deportiert und in den umliegenden Wäldern ermordet. Heute liest Frank Riede den Bericht des Wandsbeker Boten vom 17. Dezember 1925 über den Vortrag „Von der Sprache der Hamburger“, den Frl. Prof. Dr. Agathe Lasch mit 46 Jahren vor dem Deutschen Sprachverein hielt.

C'est ce lundi 24 novembre 2025 qu'une cour de justice de Vilnius rendra son verdict dans l'affaire de l'incendie en 2024 d'un magasin Ikea. Un incendie attribué au renseignement militaire russe. De notre correspondante à Vilnius, La dernière audience avant de mettre le jugement en délibéré a été rapide. Le jeune Ukrainien est sorti la tête baissée. Mineur au moment des faits, il a déposé un mécanisme qui a pris feu le 9 mai 2024. Il a été arrêté quelques jours plus tard dans le bus pour Riga, en Lettonie, où il devait commettre le même forfait. Pour son avocate Renata Janusyte, « il regrette d'avoir agi à la légère. Pour cela, on lui a promis une voiture et 10 000 euros, il a indiqué qui l'avait contacté pour cela et qui avait fait les transferts d'argent. » Ce procès a été une mine de renseignements pour comprendre la réalité d'un sabotage. Vilmantas Vitkauskas est à la tête du centre national de gestion des crises. Il se souvient de ce jour-là. « Nous avions été prévenus que de telles actions pouvaient avoir lieu en Lituanie. Chaque incendie, incident qui se produit n'est jamais considéré comme banal. L'incendie du magasin Ikea n'est pas le premier cas de sabotage, mais auparavant jamais un bâtiment accueillant du public et pouvant causer des victimes n'avait été visé. » Le sabotage est la nouvelle réalité. La justice lituanienne enquête sur l'autodestruction de colis partis depuis Vilnius vers un entrepôt en Allemagne, et sur la tentative d'incendie d'une société soutenant l'Ukraine. Giedrius Krupkauskas travaille pour les services de sécurité de l'État. Il a décrit les méthodes russes lors d'une conférence : « Toutes ces opérations sont commanditées par le pouvoir politique. La confrontation avec l'Ouest se déroule pour la Russie dans une sorte d'entre-deux, entre guerre et paix. Avec cet état d'esprit, les sabotages sont considérés comme légitimes. Un outil de guerre contre de sociétés européennes en paix. » Le but : faire vaciller le soutien occidental à l'Ukraine. Comment prévenir le passage à l'acte de personnes souvent recrutées via les réseaux sociaux ? Le chercheur Marek Kohv de l'ICDS, un centre de recherche sur la défense en Estonie, a quelques pistes. « Il est très important que les peines prononcées soient très claires, ça peut être dissuasif. Les gens reçoivent peu d'argent pour ces actions. S'il s'avère que pour gagner 500 ou 1000 euros, il est possible de risquer 10 ans de prison, cela va faire réfléchir. » Le verdict prononcé à l'égard du jeune homme accusé de crime en bande organisée et d'acte terroriste fera date dans l'histoire judiciaire lituanienne.
