Ačkoliv je Vilém Spilka primárně jazzový kytarista, naučil se během covidu hrát i na kontrabas, který si prý koupil od Jaromíra Honzáka. Sám říká, že je spíš písničkář než skladatel – zřejmě proto, že má velký vztah k trampské hudbě. Věnuje se i práci pro festival Jazzfest Brno, kde je ředitelem, nebo pro festivaly Prague Sounds a Pop Messe. Život má evidentně naplněný věcmi, které miluje, a daří se mu je proto dělat na vysoké úrovni souběžně. Rozhovor o tom, jak nebýt snobem.   Vilém Spilka je kytarista pohybující se na české jazzové scéně od roku 1994. Dřívější úspěšné projekty Four Elements a KSZ Trio dnes plně vytěsnily kapely Two-Generation Trio, Vincenc Kummer Quartet a Vilém Spilka Quartet. Věnuje se i pedagogické práci na jazzové katedře JAMU v Brně. Je ředitelem Jazzfestu Brno a pracuje také pro festivaly Prague Sounds a Pop Messe.   Podcast podporuje LD Systems.

You can find their just released 2024 ranking in this post titled The Global 100 list: How the world's most sustainable corporations are driving the green transition. The introduction is by Shawn McCarthy and posted on corporateknights.com. Here are some quotes. “Now in its 20th year, Corporate Knights' Global 100 ranking of the world's most sustainable companies reveals the top firms that are increasing their investments in green solutions such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and the circular economy. ‘When we launched the Global 100 in 2005, the green economy was a quaint idea. Many companies didn't publish in-house sustainability reports. There were no standardized key performance indicators, and none of the companies were reporting the percentage of their revenue or investments that were green,' says Corporate Knights co-founder and CEO Toby Heaps… In the 2024 Global 100 ranking, the top-ranked firms allocated 55% of their investments to sustainable projects, up from 47% the year prior. That compares with sustainable investments at a paltry 17% among the broader universe of publicly traded companies with more than US$1 billion in annual revenue… The 2024 Global 100 companies earned 51% of their revenues from sustainable sources in the fiscal year 2022, up from 50% the prior year. That compares with just 16% for the broader universe of companies… Top Companies Two Australian companies, Sims Ltd. (SMSMY) and Brambles Ltd. (BMBLF) top the 2024 ranking. Sims, this year's number one company, recycles scrap metal in 30 countries, and Brambles rents reusable pallets and containers around the globe. Both companies score 100% on sustainable revenue and sustainable investment… The Global 100 also awarded a ‘pivot prize' to Italian energy firm ERG SpA (ER9.BE), which completed its multiyear transition from black to green halfway through 2023… The Global 100 rates companies in 38 industry groups… based on 25 metrics. It applies different weighting to certain metrics given the nature of the sector. Sustainable revenue and sustainable investment are key measures… The Global 100 score far better on overall environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics than do their peers. For example, 79% of Global 100 firms had sustainability-linked pay; only 30% of the broader corporate universe linked executive pay to the achievement of environmental or social sustainability targets… Between February 1, 2005, and December 15, 2023, the Global 100 saw a return of 287% on a U.S. dollar basis, while the MSCI ACWI had a return of 272%. The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index posted a return of 254% over that period.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Franklin Templeton Positive On Green, Social Bonds In 2024 This second article features a green bond fund by a firm who was one of the pioneers in mutual funds. The article is titled Franklin Templeton Positive On Green, Social Bonds In 2024. It's by Amanda Cheesley and found wealthbriefing.com. Now some quotes from Ms. Cheesley. “David Zahn, head of European fixed income at Franklin Templeton, believes that sustainable investing will be a dominant investment trend, with structural tailwinds that could help improve financial returns… Zahn thinks that green and social bonds, which are typically issued to fund longer-term projects, are a good source of longer-duration investments… Zahn also believes that an expanding and increasingly diverse sustainable finance market means that attractive returns can go hand in hand with a positive impact on the environment and our communities… Zahn manages the Franklin Sustainable Euro Green Bond UCITS ETF (FLRG:SWX:EUR) which aims to provide exposure to the European green bond market whilst maximising total returns. It… invests mainly in bonds that are labelled green and denominated in European currencies. The fund… has outperformed the index over a three to five-year period.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top 10: Wind Power Companies Now this next article has an interesting ranking of the top global wind companies.

Here's an article on that sector by Dmytro Spilka and found on investorplace.com. It's titled 3 EV Stocks Cementing Their Status as Top Long-Term Market Picks. Here are some quotes by Mr. Spilka on his picks. “1. Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) At the core of Li's strong year was an astonishing 182.2% total deliveries growth to 376,030. Cumulative deliveries surpassed 600,000 vehicles. This makes the firm the most prolific among China's emerging new energy automakers.  With the upcoming launch of Li MEGA, the firm's flagship new MPV set to roll out in February 2024, the firm appears to be leading the charge to become China's EV market leader. Li Auto's recently announced partnership with semiconductor giant Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) will see Nvidia's DRIVE Thor centralized car computer power Li's future EV fleets.  2. Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) has endured a fairly torrid time on Wall Street since its debut in late 2021… The news that the auto manufacturer will be supplying its vehicles for AT&T's (NYSE:T) fleet represents a significant coup for the firm… In perhaps its biggest statement of intent, Rivian produced 17,541 vehicles in Q4 alone… Rivian's management has boldly predicted that the firm will begin turning gross profit positive, making Rivian a solid pick for investors with a long-term outlook.  3. Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Tesla… deliveries in Q4 alone hit a total of 484,507.  On top of this, the highly anticipated launch of the Cybertruck has helped to keep the stock in the spotlight. Tesla's commitment to autonomous driving is likely to ensure that it stays at the forefront of innovation… One of the stock's biggest supporters is Cathie Wood, CEO and CIO of Ark Invest (ARKK)… Wood claimed that Tesla stock could reach the $4,600 mark. That would be a price target of $1,533.33 when adjusted for the split.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- The Top 3 Stocks to Benefit from Next-Gen Energy Solutions My final article for this episode is titled The Top 3 Stocks to Benefit from Next-Gen Energy Solutions. It's by Steve Booyens and also found on investorplace,com. Due to limited space I'm just quoting Mr. Booyens briefly. “1. Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners (NYSE:BEP) A company with diversified renewable energy exposure with significant scale in store. 2. First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) Economies of scale and continuous capacity sequencing place First Solar best-in-class. 3. Enphase Energy (NASDAQ:ENPH) A buy-the-dip opportunity highly touted by Wells Fargo.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Other Honorable Mentions – not in any order. 1.

Summary:There is little our current healthcare system can offer us in the way of relief  from symptoms of grief. We have occasionally discussed alternatives and Josephine Spilka joins us today to introduce us to some options from the Chinese traditions, primary meditation. There is much more to meditation that closing our eyes and humming. Check it out!Notes:Josephine says, "I say we are living until we are not. Your opportunity for growth, healing, and contribution to our world does not end until this body is no longer breathing. I practice medicine from the perspective of classical Chinese medicine and have done so for over 20 years..."

Classical Chinese medicine recognizes the Heart (心 Xin) as a central organ to our being. It's seen as holding the sovereign position as the emperor of the kingdom (i.e., the body). The Heart is where the Shen (神), the spirit, resides. It's what gives us discernment and consciousness. In a way, phrases like “follow your heart,” “home is where the heart is,” and “from the bottom of my heart” seem to pay homage to the spiritual and coherent nature of the Heart. But how does this influence our work in the clinic?In this conversation with Josephine Spilka, we discuss the importance of being in coherence, acting from a place of presence amid impermanent stories, staying true to our capacities, and setting boundaries in the clinic. Josephine also touches on the influence of the eight extraordinary channels and their connection to the Zheng Qi. Listen into this discussion on coherence, and the need to honor our faculties, integrity, and capacity in any clinical encounterMentioned in this episode:Tell us how you feel about Qiological

If you think that kink is '50 shades of grey', think again. In this episode, my guest and I delve deep into what kink actually is, how to practice it and how it can even be a therapeutic practice. In my opinion, what we see in mainstream media doesn't do kink justice as it's far more nuanced. It involves expert communication, trust, vulnerability, and ultimately revolves around play. My guest for this episode is Avri Spilka, a clinical psychologist specialising in sexuality in Johannesburg, who is also the president of the Southern African Sexual Health Association (SASHA). She's highly experienced in helping clients navigate kink and helping people achieve a satisfying and rewarding sex life. I've known Avri for many years and respect her work and approach to sex positivity immensely. This episode really will expand your view of kink and may even stir some curiosity within you!

Rund 22 Milliarden Euro haben deutsche Online-Kunden 2020 für Second-Hand-Mode ausgegeben - in den nächsten zwei Jahren könnte diese Summe um rund 70 Prozent wachsen, schätzen Experten. Damit trotzt der Second-Hand-Markt der Corona-bedingten Mode-Flaute - und ist eindrucksvolles Anzeichen für ein sich wandelndes Konsumentenverhalten, meint Maria Spilka, Co-Gründerin der Second-Hand-Plattform Mädchenflohmarkt im Internet World-Podcast "Touchpoint". Auch ihr Unternehmen hat vom Second-Hand-Aufwind kräftig profitiert: Mädchenflohmarkt wuchs 2020 um über 50 Prozent auf einen zweistelligen Millionenumsatz, bietet über eine Million gebrauchte Artikel von 15.000 Marken an und bedient 1,5 Millionen Nutzerinnen. Die Anstrengungen von klassischen Mode-Händlern wie Zalando oder H&M, die mit eigenen Initiativen versuchen, auf den Vintage-Zug aufzuspringen, sieht die Second-Hand-Pionierin gelassen. "Unser Ziel ist letztlich eine Revolution des Modehandels", so Spilka. "Und da wir ein immer noch kleines Start-up sind, schaffen wir das nicht allein. Deshalb freuen wir uns über jeden Player, der genauso wie wir an Second-Hand glaubt." Deshalb arbeitet Mädchenflohmarkt unter anderem mit eBay, About You und Breuninger zusammen. "Bei Kauf von neuer Mode ist es wie beim Kauf eines neuen Autos: Sobald man das Preisschild abgeschnitten hat, erfährt das Kleidungsstück einen enormen Wertverlust", sagt die Gründerin. "Verlängert man aber den Produktlebenszyklus durch den Second-Hand-Handel, ist der Wertverlust gar nicht mehr so hoch. Wenn man pfleglich mit seinen Sachen umgeht, wird der Modekauf fast zum Nullsummenspiel." Diesen Effekt würden vor allem die Generation Z und die Millenials für sich entdecken - und das hätte des Potenzial, den lang anhaltenden Trend zu einer immer noch größeren Überproduktion in immer noch mehr Kollektionen langfristig zu beenden. Viele Experten geben Spilkas Vorstellung recht: Bis 2028 könnte der Markt für Second-Hand-Mode über 56 Milliarden Euro schwer sein, so Prognosen - Fast Fashion dagegen nur 40 Milliarden Euro.

Senate President Karen Spilka said vaccinating teachers is a prerequisite for the Baker administration's plan to open schools next month. She joined WBUR's Morning Edition host Bob Oakes to talk about this.

This week's story features Katie Spilka who shares her story of being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called scleroderma at age 16 and how CrossFit and a positive outlook have helped her put her symptoms into remission.   Katie was an everyday teenager when she first experienced unusual symptoms, including numbness in her fingers.  Because of her family's medical history, Katie's mom advocated for her to see a rheumatologist, and conversations with the doctor revealed that symptoms Katie had thought were normal were actually signs of scleroderma.   After 5 years of treatment involving some heavy hitting medications, Katie worked with her doctor to begin weaning off some of her prescriptions.  Says Katie, “At this time I was 20 years old and scared yet relieved that I would be able to feel “normal” again. I knew I needed to do more for myself to keep myself well.”   She made the leap to join a CrossFit affiliate and the workouts and community were instrumental in helping her re-build strength she had lost to her disease, as well as providing an incentive to improve her nutrition.   As an adult, Katie, inspired by her rheumatologist, has gone on to become a nurse so that she can help care for others.  She continues to experience remission from her symptoms and says, “I have now been weaned off all my medications that I was taking for my scleroderma and trying to take it one day at a time taking the best care of myself that I can!”   You can connect with Katie via Instagram @kspilkz   Related Episodes:   Ep 99 - Dr. Axel Pflueger on Fighting Chronic Disease with Fitness Ep 169- Taking Control of Multiple Sclerosis with Jasmine Joy   If you like this episode, please subscribe to Pursuing Health on iTunes and give it a rating or share your feedback on social media using the hashtag #PursuingHealth.

Spilka makes a case for substance over process by CommonWealth magazine

I sit down with acupuncturist and teacher Josephine Spilka to discuss life, death, and the spirits. We discuss Buddhist, Judaic, and Daoist conceptions of passing from this world into the next. Josephine gives a straight, no-nonsense explanation of what the hun and po are. We work through the logistics of death and incarnation, disembodied existence, and conception. She reveals why we should avoid using needles and herbs when assisting someone in passing, and what we should use instead.

Today on Boston Public Radio: Mass. Senate President Karen Spilka discussed her views on mental health parity, NDAs in the public sector, and Massachusetts transportation reform. NBC Sports Boston anchor Trenni Kusnierek reflected on Monday’s memorial for Kobe and Gigi Bryant, and the NHL debut of a 42 year-old Zamboni driver. We opened the lines to talk with callers about your views on early voting in the 2020 primaries. Former Massachusetts Secretary of Education Paul Reville discussed racial inequity at Boston's exam schools, the dipping graduation rates at Boston Public Schools, and a group of illiterate California students who sued their state and won $53 million for troubled schools. Boston Globe travel writer Christopher Muther discussed the impact of the coronavirus on local tourism, the "Shame Plane,” and whether it’s poor form to recline your seat on an airplane. CNN’s John King talked about the South Carolina primary, and what to expect from Tuesday night’s Democratic presidential debate. We re-opened our lines to continue the debate about reclining seats on an airplanes.

2/3/20-- Earth Day is not for another two months, but there's a lot of talk circling climate change in Massachusetts these days. Steve and Jenn break it down today with special guests, but first, an incident involving national horse race polling broke over the weekend that we at The Horse Race have a duty to address. A Des Moines Register / CNN poll surveying likely Democratic Iowa Caucus-goers was pulled before it was set for release Saturday night. According to Politico, a call center interviewer enlarged the question's font on their monitor, potentially cutting off some candidates' names in a randomized list following a question. Lis Smith, a senior adviser to Pete Buttigieg's campaign, announced the campaign had heard from a survey participant telling them not every candidate running was named when the interviewer asked who the participant supported. The incident prompted an empathetic response from Steve, our resident pollster here on the pod and president of The MassINC Polling Group who called the news "sad." "Polling involves dozens or even hundreds of things that you have to make sure are right, and they're all small things, and they're almost always all right because they're cut and paste from previous polls and that sort of thing. But something can go wrong, and something did go wrong here." The most recent poll conducted by The MassINC Polling Group avoided that fate, luckily. And it sheds new light on how Massachusetts residents think about climate change. First and foremost, the statewide poll of roughly 2,300 Massachusetts residents found that a majority of them see climate change as a serious challenge and are already feeling its impacts. There's a notable shift happening now in public opinion on climate change, which Steve can attest is rare. "On so many public opinion issues, it's just stable," he said. "The most visible example is Donald Trump's approval rating. This wild storm of stuff happening in national politics, and... nothing changes." On the issue of global warming, however, this poll finds 53% of Massachusetts residents say it is a high priority. That's a jump from 32% as recently as 2014. "This is one which reminds me more--potentially more-- of marijuana legalization opinion or same-sex marriage opinion where just inexorably over a period of years, stuff goes from one reality to a completely different reality." Find the detailed report at massincpolling.com/the-topline. Turning now to Beacon Hill, Steve and Jenn make their way to the State House to speak with Senate President Karen Spilka and Senator Mike Barrett about the trio of climate bills passed by the state Senate last week. They include, among other things, the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, which, Sen. Barrett describes as, "a very ambitious goal." He said, "It puts Massachusetts right where the United Nations body wants the world to be, and in that sense we are offering world leadership." Senate President Spilka said of the legislation, "We recognize that people across the state are asking us to take action, so we strengthen our goals and our requirements for down the line." Plus, Spilka provides a look ahead at the Senate's next big priority: mental health.

It was a very Beacon Hill way to end 2019 — a flurry of legislating on various important topics that left observers saying 1) “Good job!” and 2) “What in God's name took so long?” In a conversation with WGBH News State House correspondent Mike Deehan, Senate President Karen Spilka talks about the Legislature's big achievements; how she'd answer critics who question its pace; the state of Governor Charlie Baker's agenda and the Senate GOP; and Deval Patrick's presidential campaign (spoiler: she's not overly enthused). First, though, Peter Kadzis shares some deep thoughts on possible presidential impeachment after watching a whopping 35 hours of testimony last week. Can't get enough of local and national politics?

We’re on site at City Hall with the 94th President of the Massachusetts Senate, Harriette L. Chandler, in the room where she got her political start as a member of the Worcester School Committee in 1991. Chandler went on to become the second woman in Massachusetts history to serve as Majority Leader and also as Senate President. At age 81, she has never lost an election. We discuss the ROE Act as well as her transition from SP, which she says was not at all like Joan Vennochi described it in the Boston Globe last year when she wrote, “Men might have settled this with a heart-to-heart stroll around the Hooker statue. Instead, Chandler and Spilka are fighting over the timing of a baton pass like bargain-hunters battling over a markdown at Filene’s Basement.” Yuck. We also talk Oscars. Photos by Unity Mike.

Cancer is a curious disease. It’s something we fight as an invader, but at its root it is a part of us. A part of us that is apart from us. We are in essence fighting against ourselves. In this conversation we meander through some perspectives that come from Chinese medicine. Along the way we discuss healing and curing; they are not the same thing. And we step back look to see what other stories are here beside the usual, “this thing must die.” Listen in to this conversation as we seek to get to the essence of life threatening illness.  

Every acupuncturist is intimately familiar with the points and functions of the 12 commonly used acupuncture channels, as well as the functions and use of the 8 extraordinary meridians. In our studies we might have heard about the divergent channels, but for the most part we don't use these in everyday practice. For many of us, they are a bit of mystery and remain so as we generally can go about our business of helping patients with the 12 regular channels and 8 extras. In this episode we explore the use, function and treatment of the divergent channels. If you have patients autoimmune disease, or chronic issues seem to cycle but go nowhere, this conversation with Josephine Spilka will give you insights on how help your patients break these cycles of dysfunction.   Head on over to the show notes page for more information about this episode and for links to the resources discussed in the interview.  Join the discussion!

On October 20 this year, Jordan Belamire posted an article on the Medium website detailing a recent experience she had playing the HTC Vive game QuiVr. In the game, she was 'virtually' groped and harassed by another player, moments after speaking in game - her voice identified her character as female, otherwise there would've been no way to know. In her article, Jordan related that while she was not touched physically, she related that the groping felt just as real, and it started a heated conversation online as to the various factors around sexual harassment and sexual assault in the virtual space - can it be called sexual harassment if its virtual? What are the legal ramifications? Can someone be charged? These are complicated concepts and questions and we needed some help to go through them, so we went to some of friends who are much smarter about these things: Avri Spilka, psycho-sexual consultant & educator and Pippa Tshabalala, our go to gaming expert, sat down with us to help us come to terms with what sexual harassment means, how this relates to virtual worlds, and how we might fix this in the future. A note: we go to some pretty deep and dark places, and some people who may have had experiences with topics such as sexual harassment, assault and rape need to be aware of this.
