Construcția brandului personal presupune să te exprimi elegant, profesionist, dar în același timp uman, ca să se creeze o conexiune cu audiența – ceea ce te poate pune în dificultate. Cu toții știm să ne exprimăm „normal”, dar ce e de făcut să suni mai „elegant?” În acest episod îți dezvălui un truc simplu, dar eficient, de a ajunge să te exprimi mai elevat și profesionist fără să îți diminuezi stilul personal. 

"Tam Vaxtı" verilişinin bu dəfəki qonağı “Dynamic Boxs”un həmtəsisçisi , oyun prodüseri Şahin Əliyev oldu.

"Tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums. Tāpēc es tur esmu," – tik skaisti par savu darbu teic Mūzikas nama "Daile" direktore Anda Zadovska, kura 4. maijā kļūs par Atzinības krusta komandieri.  Par bērnību pilī un brīvdienām pie jūras, par radošu prieku un izaicinājumiem, vadot privātu koncertzāli, uzzinām šajā skaistajā sarunā, uz kuru Andu aicinājusi "Klasikas" direktore Gunda Vaivode.  Gunda Vaivode: Anda, 4. maijā Rīgas pilī Valsts prezidents tev pasniegs Atzinības krustu, un tu kļūsi par tā komandieri. Šo apbalvojumu pasniedz godaprāta ļaudīm par izcilu Tēvijas mīlestību un sevišķiem nopelniem valsts, sabiedriskajā, kultūras, zinātnes, sporta un izglītības darbā. Kopš izziņošanas brīža "Latvijas Vēstnesī" pagājis jau labs laiciņš. Kas tevi apsveica pirmais?  Anda Zadovska: Pirmā īsziņa atnāca neilgi pirms pusnakts, un to man atsūtīja Valmieras teātra direktore Evita Sniedze [Ašeradena]. Paskatījos, bet nereaģēju, jo, ņemot vērā, ka ceļos piecos un eju gulēt deviņos vai desmitos vakarā, nodomāju, ka tas nav nekas svarīgs. Pēc tam atnāca otra īsziņa – to atsūtīja Rafaels Ciekurs no Neatliekamās medicīniskās palīdzības dienesta. Domāju – nē, kaut kas tur riktīgi nav! Viņš rakstīja, ka sveic mani kā Atzinības krusta komandieri. Tas laikam bija 1. aprīlis, un man likās, ka varbūt kāds joko. Bet rezultātā, protams, visu nakti nevarēju gulēt… Vai esi jau apdomājusi, ko teiksi savā atbildes runā?  Apdomājusi esmu, bet līdz galam vēl nē. Tas noteikti nebūs kaut kas garš. Tas ir ļoti nopietns pasākums, un man vēl ir laiks. Bet izlasot šī apbalvojuma devīzi – "Godaprāta ļaudīm" – es, protams, ļoti cenšos. Jūtos ārkārtīgi pagodināta...  "Godaprāta ļaudis – pirmkārt iedomājos par saviem vecvecākiem" Formulējums tiešām ir ļoti skaists – godaprāta ļaudis. Vai šajā kontekstā esi iedomājusies par saviem senčiem?  Jā, pirmkārt iedomājos par saviem vecvecākiem. Lielu daļu bērnības pavadīju pie viņiem Ezerē, tas ir tieši pie Lietuvas robežas. Tie bija mammas vecāki, kurus, kā jau daudzus latviešus, 1949. gadā izsūtīja uz Sibīriju. Arī mammu, trīsgadīgu bērnu… Viņi bija saimnieki?  Nē! Tur tas interesantākais, ka tieši no tēta puses vecvecāki bija lielsaimnieki ar simt hektāriem Sēlijā. Tētis staigāja jūrnieka kostīmiņā, kalpi apkārt. Arī viņi bija sarakstos, bet viņiem kāds to bija pateicis, un viņi no izsūtīšanas paglābās, aizbēgot mežā. Bet izsūtīja tieši manas mammas vecvecākus Frici un Emmu no Ezeres, jo Fricis negribēja stāties kolhozā. Kaimiņš viņu nodeva, un viņiem nācās gandrīz desmit gadus pavadīt Sibīrijā. Tie ir lielākie godaprāta ļaudis, kas man pirmie nāk prātā. Jo šiem cilvēkiem divas reizes nācās savu dzīvi sākt no pilnīgas nulles. Vecvecāki paguva atgriezties? Jā, viņi paguva atgriezties, un vēl līdz deviņdesmitajiem gadiem bija klātesoši mūsu dzīvē. Kad es šodien iedomājos... Viņi savu dzīvi sāka Embūtē, Dienvidkurzemē, kur bija tieši Kurzemes katls. Kā viņi stāstīja – tikko bijis bērniņš piedzimis, nāk kāds zaldāts un saka – ātri bēdziet projām, jo tūlīt fronte nāks pāri. Viņi tikko jaunu māju bija uzcēluši… Un vēl pat līdz mežam nebija tikuši, kad tā uzgāja gaisā... Tad vecvecāki aizbrauca uz Ezeri, no kurienes 1949. gadā viņus aizveda uz Sibīriju. Tā ka viņi dabūja pilnīgi no nulles visu dzīvi sākt divas reizes. Bet tas interesantākais un apbrīnojamākais ir tas, ka viņi nekad par to nesūdzējās! Nekad. Viņi bija ļoti gaiši cilvēki, un ļoti daudzi – arī mēs ar māsu Kristīni (Andas māsa ir dziedātāja Kristīne Zadovska – red.) Še ir cilvēki, kas man laikam ir vissvarīgākie.  Bet tu saviem vecākiem piedzimi Dobelē?  Mani vecāki bija skolotāji Zebrenes skolā, kas bija Dobeles rajonā. Dobeles pilsētā mēs nedzīvojām, taču tieši tur abas ar Kristīni esam dzimušas.  Tātad ceriņi ir tavs laiks?  Jā, tieši tā. Esmu arī beigusi Dobeles mūzikas skolu, kas tagad skaisti atjaunota – šķiet, tā šobrīd ir viena no skaistākajām mūzikas skolām Latvijā! Tā ka esam uz Zemgales un Kurzemes robežas. Man liekas – ļoti labs komplekts.  "Savas dzīves pirmos astoņpadsmit gadus esmu dzīvojusi pilī" Bet tavas bērnības lielākais laiks ir pagājis pilī!  Tieši tāda bija mūsu adrese: Jaunpils, un pēdiņās – "Pils". Savas dzīves pirmos astoņpadsmit gadus esmu dzīvojusi tieši pilī. Tas iznāca tā: manu tēti uzaicināja par orķestra vadītāju Jaunpilī, un tā mēs tur nokļuvām. Tur iedeva dzīvokli, un mēs dzīvojām pilī. Nu, tad tu vari iedomāties! Un mamma savukārt kūrēja kultūras dzīvi. Mamma bija Kultūras nama vadītāja, kas atradās tieši zem mūsu dzīvokļa. Čībās uz turieni varējām noiet. Tātad tas laikam gēnu līmenī mani ir ietekmējis… Mamma jūs lika arī pie darba Kultūras nama pasākumos?  Biju apkopēja, un vēl kopā ar tagadējo politiķi Uldi Auguli vadījām pensionāru vakarus. Ļoti aktīvi iesaistījos! Mana sirdslieta gan ir tautas deju kolektīvu vadīšana, jo mana pirmā izglītība ir tieši tautas deju kolektīva vadītāja! Toreiz izdomāju, ka būšu tikai tautas deju kolektīva vadītāja un atgriezīšos Jaunpilī. Mana mamma, protams, bija pilnīgā ārprātā, ka neeju uz augstskolu, un ir tikai deju kolektīvs un Dziesmu svētki. Bet nu – kad apgrozījos Rīgā, sapratu, ka tomēr vajag arī kaut ko citu.  Mammīte ir darbīga joprojām! Jā, mammīte ir darbīga un dzīvo Jaunpilī. Šogad viņai apaļa 80 gadu jubileja, ko svinēsim Jaunpils pilī, Kultūras namā.  "Skolā matemātika man bija stiprākā puse" Tu esi privātas koncertzāles vadītāja. Vai tad, kad gāji studēt Latvijas Universitātes Ekonomikas un vadības fakultātē, tev jau bija kāda nojauta par to, ko gribi darīt? Pilnīgi noteikti tajā brīdī nojauta par privātas koncertzāles izveidošanu nebija. Bet dzīve cilvēku aizved tur, kur viņam jābūt. Man kādreiz likās – ja izlasa manu CV, ir sajūta, ka tas cilvēks tiešām nav zinājis, ko viņš dzīvē grib darīt. Jo tur ir gan flauta, gan tautas deju kolektīvu vadīšana, pa vidu – pedagoģija, un tad ir LU Ekonomikas un vadības fakultāte, kas ir nopietnāka izglītība. Tagad viss komplekts man ļoti labi noder: ja man būtu tikai humanitāra izglītība, nekad dzīvē privātkoncertzāli vadīt nevarētu! Jo galvenā sadaļa šeit ir tā, kā tu to lielo bildi finansiāli vari savilkt kopā. Ikdienā strādājam tūkstoš kvadrātmetru lielā zālē ar nulles dotācijām – viss jānopelna mums pašiem. Lai to varētu izdomāt, ekonomikas zināšanas ir vajadzīgas. Bet matemātika man arī bija stiprākā puse skolā, nevis, piemēram, valodas.  Ko no tevis ikdienā paģēr koncertzāles vadīšana? Tā ir milzīga atbildība. Pirmkārt par cilvēkiem, kuri ir mani darbinieki. Cik tev ir darbinieku? Pamata komandā esam pieci cilvēki: divi tehniskie – Kristers un Artūrs, mana vietniece Ieva, mārketinga vadītāja Betija un cilvēks-orķestris – aizskatuves administrators Kaspars. Vēl ir publiku apkalpojošais personāls. Jā, neesam daudz, neskatoties uz to, ka mums ir ļoti liels skatītāju skaits un notiek daudzi pasākumi. Mēs paši visu darām.  Un kā jūs mērāt savus izmērāmos rezultātus? Tas ir pasākumu skaits, tas ir skatītāju skaits, un tas ir apgrozījums: varam ar to lepoties. jo Latvijas koncertu vietu vidū pēc "Biļešu paradīzes" datiem esam diezgan augstās pozīcijās, augšgalā. Manī bija spīts – pierādīšu, ka to var izdarīt! Pieņemu, ka ne vienmēr esat eiforijā, ka viss sanāk. Eiforijas nav vispār, jo mums taču bija pandēmija, kas likās pilnīgs izmisums. Principā tajā laikā vajadzēja aiztaisīt tās durvis ciet, bet tobrīd manī bija spīts – es tik un tā to noturēšu un pierādīšu, ka to var izdarīt! Kaut patiesībā tas bija diezgan neiespējami ar visiem atceltajiem pasākumiem. Atceros pa datumiem, kā tas viss notika: 11. martā toreiz visu aizvēra, mēs kvalificējāmies visiem atbalstiem, bet saņēmām tos decembrī. Visu laiku ar privātiem aizņēmumiem – kaut kā tā. Arī darbinieki taču bija jānotur – viņi  nebija vainīgi. Tas bija diezgan liels izaicinājums, un arī tagad nevaram rēķināties ne ar ko uz priekšu. Tā ir laime dotētajām iestādēm – ka tās var saplānot vismaz vienu sezonu uz priekšu! Bet es to nevaru, jo nezinu, kādi būs ieņēmumi. Tas atkarīgs tikai no tā. Tagad apkure par janvāri, februāri, martu – komunālo pakalpojumu rēķins ir septiņi tūkstoši! Tagad domājam, ko darīt.  Bet zāles lielākoties vienmēr ir pilnas, biļetes pārdotas ilgu laiku uz priekšu, un tas piedāvājums ir apskaužami daudzveidīgs: tie nav tikai dažādžanru koncerti – tie ir dažādi vakari, un man šķiet, ka tev pašai īpaši mīļi ir dzejnieku vakari.  Man sevišķi tuvi pagājušo gadsimtu mijas dzejnieki – Plūdons, Skalbe, Fricis Bārda. Sen neesam uztaisījuši nevienu jaunu programmu, bet vajadzētu. Pandēmija visus nolika uz pauzes. Bet pirms tam taču mums bija programmas ar Vili Daudziņu – viņš mums ir tāds kā dzejas teātra patrons. Pirmā programma bija ar Ojāra Vācieša un Imanta Ziedoņa vēstulēm – kopā ar Kasparu Znotiņu un Vili Daudziņu: tas mums bija absolūtais bestsellers! Bet tas bija jau pirms desmit gadiem – nospēlējām gandrīz simt reižu. Tā bija izrāde, par kuru teicu – var to likt pirmdien no rīta, arī tad būs izpārdota! Un tad bija iestudējums, kuru centrā bija brāļi Veidenbaumi. Tā bija Viļa Daudziņa ideja, jo daudzi nezināja, ka Veidenbaumam Eduardam bija brālis Kārlis, kurš arī rakstīja dzeju, bet viņš bija tas, kurš saimniekoja Kalāču mājās: kādam jau tur bija jāstrādā, lai Eduards varētu dzīvoties pa Tērbatu... Stāsts bija ļoti interesants, un mēs to piedāvājām arī "Skolas somai". Jo man likās – ja bērns atnāk un noskatās Viļa pētījumu par laiku, kurā Veidenbaumi dzīvoja, par cara laika Latviju – tā uzreiz ir mācību stunda! Tādi izglītojoši pasākumi, kuros arī pati daudz uzzinu. Daumants Kalniņš sarakstīja mūziku ar Friča Bārdas dzeju – izveidojās programma "Sirds prieks". Sekoja programma ar Knuta Skujenieka vārdiem, par ko Daumants saņēma "Zelta mikrofonu". Man pašai tas viss ir tik tuvs – tāpēc arī tik aizrautīgi par to stāstu! Protams, visi Vecpiebalgas dižgari: pirms kāda laika sarīkojām latviešu kultūras nedēļu "Vecpiebalga atver durvis", kas turpinās vēl šobrīd; Kārļa Skalbes mājās bija ikgadējie koncerti. Mums pašiem patīk un citiem arī.  "Tā ir Dieva dāvana – būt tādu cilvēku tuvumā"  Ar senajiem meistariem iznāk vairs tikai virtuāla tikšanās, bet ar dzejniekiem, kuri vēl pavisam nesen bija mūsu vidū, tev droši vien veidojusies skaista, pavisam tuva draudzība.  Draudzība – tā varbūt neteiktu. Bet tādi cilvēki patiesi bijuši pie manis "Dailes" namā – piemēram, Knuts Skujenieks savu 85 gadu jubileju – savu pēdējo jubileju – sagaidīja uz "Dailes" nama skatuves un bija klāt arī Daumanta programmas "Drošinājums" pirmatskaņojumā. Protams, ka tā ir ļoti liela vērtība – ka esi šos cilvēkus saticis un saproti, kādai ellei viņi izgājuši cauri – te domāju Knutu Skujenieku.  Un tas, ka viņš – tāds Baltais tētiņš – spējis palikt tik gaišs cilvēks – tas ir apbrīnojami! Un vēl mums bija Imanta Kalniņa iepriekšējās jubilejas ballīte, kurā bija Uldis Bērziņš, Knuts Skujenieks un pats Imants Kalniņš. Tā ir Dieva dāvana – būt tādu cilvēku tuvumā.  Arī Latvijas Radio koris ir tavs lielais draugs – vairākas programmas rīkotas tieši ar to. Piemēram, Artura Maskata mūzikas programma. Tā laikam ir tava īpašā mīlestība. Jā, Latvijas Radio koris ir mani draugi visu "Dailes" nama gadu garumā. Pirmajai programmai, kurai Sigvards Kļava bija mākslinieciskais vadītājs, veidojām speciālas aranžijas – Andris Sējāns pirmajai daļai un Valts Pūce – otrajai daļai. Imanta Kalniņa oratorijā "Dzejnieks un Nāra" pirmoreiz satikos ar Daumantu Kalniņu kā solistu, un tad arī sākās mūsu draudzība – tas bija jau pirms vienpadsmit gadiem. Tagad mums ir plāns "Dzejnieku un Nāru" rudenī kopā ar Sigvardu jauniestudēt, jo toreiz "Dailes" nams bija knapi atvērts, un šī programma bija pelnījusi skanēt ilgāk. Tāpēc tā atkal jāiestudē no jauna! Vēl ar Latvijas Radio kori bija Artura Maskata jubilejas programma, Broņislavas Martuževas programma ar Daci Everss un Daumantu.  Veidojot šīs programmas, tev iznāk brīnišķīga sadarbība arī ar vadošajiem režisoriem un dramaturgiem! Protams! Diezgan daudz esam sadarbojušies ar Māru Ķimeli. Tagad jubilārs Artūrs Dīcis mums ir dramaturgs Mārča Auziņa un Daiņa Grūbes izrādē. Reinis Suhanovs bija atklāšanas izrādes režisors. Laikam jau patiesībā esam sadarbojušies ar visiem, kas ir mūsu vidū.  Sava publika – tā ir puse no uzvaras! Līdzās koncertiem, muzikālajiem uzvedumiem un džeza koncertiem Mūzikas namā "Daile" ir arī sarunu vakari. Izskatās, ka cilvēkiem ir nepieciešamība pēc klusinātām sarunām, kur divas personības sarunājas par šodien būtiskām tēmām.  Mums bija divi cikla darbi – un droši vien būs arī trešais – ar abiem Mārčiem Auziņiem: ģitāristu Mārci Auziņu un zinātnieku Mārci Auziņu, ar kuru mums izveidojusies cieša draudzība – viņš ir vienkārši brīnišķīgs cilvēks! Cilvēkiem tas interesē, un tēmas ir dažādas: pirmā bija par mākslīgo intelektu, kur bija gan mūzika, gan profesora skatījums, bet saruna "Flirts ar Budu" bija kā meditācija, kurā skanēja mūzika. Tādi starpžanru projekti. Un vēl ir Latvijas Nacionālā simfoniskā orķestra kamermūzikas koncerti, kur skan gan klasika, gan arī laikmetīgā mūzika! Vai uz tiem nāk "Dailes" namam uzticīgā publika, vai tomēr līdz ar žanru un stila maiņu mainās arī cilvēki? Kādi astoņdesmit procenti ir uzticamā publika. Es jau šos cilvēkus atpazīstu vaigā. Taču LNSO kamermūzikas koncerti publikā ienesuši arī jaunas sejas. Ļoti ceru, ka viņi vēlāk atrod arī kaut ko sev piemērotu no mūsu repertuāra.  Kad atvēru "Dailes" namu, mans galvenais mērķis un sapnis bija, ka mums izveidotos sava publika – jo tā jau ir puse no uzvaras! Un es atļaušos domāt, ka trīspadsmit gadu laikā tas tiešām noticis. Bet septembrī apritēs astoņpadsmit gadi, kopš sarīkoju savu pirmo koncertu... Tev ir liela privilēģija – strādāt kopā ar Maestro Raimondu Paulu, turklāt uzņemties tādu lielu un atbildīgu pienākumu kā lielā draugu lokā nosvinēt viņa 90. dzimšanas dienu, kas patiešām bija fantastisks vakars. Bet sadarbība rit arī ikdienā. Cik reižu jau nospēlēta izrāde "Vīrieši labākos gados"?  Ap 120. Tieši uz Maestro jubileju apkopojām kopīgo programmu skaitu, un patiesi: kopā ar Maestro veidotas 15 programmas ar dažādiem solistiem. Pirmā bija ar Zigfrīdu Muktupāvelu, tad ar Agnesi Rakovsku, Dināru Rudāni un Andri Keišu, tad bija Zigfrīda Muktupāvela programma ar Jāņa Petera dzeju, jau pieminētā Ojāra Vācieša un Imanta Ziedoņa programma… Ļoti daudzas programmas bijušas ar Maestro. Un ne tikai ar Maestro – pie mums bijis arī Zigmara Liepiņa 70 gadu jubilejas koncerts. Un arī Jāņa Lūsēna un Imanta Kalniņa jubileja tikusi svinēta. Atļaušos teikt, ka ļoti popularizējam latviešu autoru dzeju un mūziku. Tas ir mūsu galvenais mērķis, un mēs solāmies to darīt arī turpmāk.  Un Frenka Sinatras visgarākā dzimšanas diena! Jā, Frenka Sinatras dzimšanas diena tika svinēta desmit gadu garumā. "Tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums" Anda, tu visos koncertos pati esi klāt. Šķiet, ka pilnīgi katru vakaru! Pieņemu, ka tas ir ne tikai tavs darba pienākums, bet tev ir arī patīkami redzēt [sava darba] augļus.  Tieši tā. Zinu visas programmas no galvas, bet… Ņemot vērā to, ka esam privāta koncertzāle, mums darba roku nav tik daudz, bet skatītāju vietu skaits ir vairāk nekā četri simti. Tāpēc visu darām paši – arī tērpus sakārtojam māksliniekiem, uzklājam kafijas galdu. Mēs reāli strādājam kā publiku un mākslinieku apkalpojošais personāls. Tāpēc arī tur esmu. Un tā ir mana sirdslieta – ne tikai pienākums. Mūzikas nams "Daile" atrodas Lāčplēša un Barona ielas stūrī – tāda ļoti laba kultūras vietu saliņa! Blakus – restorāns "Osiris", netālu – Jaunais Rīgas teātris, virs jums ir "Arhis Arhitekti", un turpat ir arī galerija "Istaba". Jā, tāds radošais kvartāls.  Bet jūs arī kaut kā sadarbojaties?  Mēs vienkārši draudzējamies. Jaunā Rīgas teātra aktieri pie mums uzstājas, publika iet uz "Osiris" – lai gan arī mums ir pašiem sava kafejnīca –, un "Osiris" publika nāk pie mums. Pagalmiņš ir viens – visi Jāņos satiekamies.  Man bija pārsteigums, ka savulaik esi strādājusi pie Andreja Žagara.  Andrejam tolaik bija, manuprāt, septiņi restorāni: tas bija augstākais punkts, kad viņš atvēra "Žagara jauno restorānu". Berga bazārā bija "Simpozijs", vīnu veikals, Vecrīgā bija grieķu restorāns, vēl "Dizzi" klubs, "Osiris"... Biju šo restorānu izpilddirektore. Ar Andreju iepazināmies kādā ballītē Operā, un viņš saprata: šitā meitene, kaut arī no laukiem, ir baigi ašā. Kaut kāds materiāls tur ir! Andrejam esmu ļoti pateicīga – viņš man ļoti daudz ko iemācīja. Vienbrīd viņš saka: tagad braucam uz Londonu un Parīzi, uz restorāniem! Es domāju – man pat nav nekā, ko mugurā vilkt... Ar Andreju vienu laiku ļoti cieši strādājām.  Viss sākās kā joks, bet izrādījās liktenis Tu esi ne tikai šīs koncertzāles turētāja un saimniece, bet arī mūzikas izdevniecības "Ars Nova" vadītāja. Tagad tas vairāk "Spotify" platformai. Apvienība tika nodibināta, kad sākām strādāt kopā ar Jāni Lūsēnu – tas bija 2008. gadā, un septembrī kopš tā laika būs apritējuši jau astoņpadsmit gadi. Tas viss sākās kā joks, bet izrādījās liktenis. Jo pirms tam strādāju pilnīgi citā sfērā un reiz vedu Kristīni uz koncertu, kurā viņai bija jāpiedalās kopā ar Māru Zālīti, Jāni Lūsēnu un Zigfrīdu Muktupāvelu. To koncertu atcēla. Kaut kā sākām runāt, un Lūsēns saka – man nākošgad piecdesmit gadu jubileja, bet nav, kas uztaisa. Saku – es taču varu uztaisīt! Bet tad tikai Operā, jo tikai tajā kaut ko zinu. Tā tas sākās – kā joks. Pa vidu Jānis uzrakstīja ciklu "Mazu brīdi pirms". Tas bija 2008. gadā – mans pirmais rīkotais koncerts. Pilnīgs liktenis! Tad bija laiks, kad iestudējām dažādus mūziklus – Valmieras teātrī bija "Kaupēn, mans mīļais" un "Agrā rūsa". Bet ciešāka sadarbība raisījās  tikai ar Lūsēnu. Bet tā mūžīgā telpu problēma... Un tad es iedomājos, vai Rīgā nav kāds bijušais kinoteātris… Ierakstīju tīmekļa meklētājā – un tiešām! Sludinājums, ka izīrē bijušā kinoteātra telpas. Taču sludinājuma termiņš jau bija beidzies. Nodomāju: tā ir tieši "Osiris" māja, kurā visus pazīstu. Jānoskaidro. Viņi saka – tur ir izīrēts, bet varbūt viens procents, ka [mans sapnis] varētu piepildīties. Un tas viens procents arī piepildījās! Liktenis!  Vai to, ko rādāt uz skatuves, mēdzat arī izdot ciešripās un platēs? Tagad aktuāla analogā mode. Tagad tās vinilplates, jā, un ļoti gribētu izdot dažas no mūsu programmām.  Kuras tās būtu? Piemēram, programmu "Suni ārā nedzenama nakts" – tā ir ļoti, ļoti, ļoti īpaša. Tā man ļoti, ļoti patīk. Arī Knuta Skujenieka un Daumanta Kalniņa "Drošinājums", kas izpelnījās "Zelta mikrofonu". Mēs paši veidojam arī televīzijas ierakstus un dodam Latvijas Televīzijai – šie ieraksti bieži tiek parādīti televīzijā. "Pats Artūrs Banga sēdējis pie manas priedes!" Dzirdēju, ka tev bijusi doma savas mājas Lapmžciemā izveidot kā brīvdabas koncertzāli.  Tās mājas tieši ar tādu domu vispār tika iekārtotas. Tas bija pandēmijas laiks. Man bija saikne ar Lapmežciemu, un biju izdomājusi, ka tā varētu būt "Dailes" nama vasaras rezidence, un doma nav atmesta – tādi brīvdabas koncerti, jo sēta ir ļoti skaista – pie jūras un ar vēsturi: šajā sētā filmēts "Ilgais ceļš kāpās"... Diezgan daudz tur esmu savedusi kārtībā, tā ka – kas zina. Pandēmijas laikā taisījām visādas fotosesijas; esam filmējuši arī raidījumu "Daudz laimes, jubilār!" Vajadzētu sākt ar "Ilgā ceļa kāpās" vakara kino seansu, lai redz, kur ir Artūra priede! Jā, pats Artūrs Banga (viens no filmas galvenajiem varoņiem – red.) sēdējis pie manas priedes! Tas uzreiz ir stāsts! (Smejas.) Vēl tikai mājai jāuzliek šindeļu jumts. Vai maz vēl ir meistari, kas māk tādu uzlikt? Mani meistari brauc no Alūksnes, jo daudz tādu vairs nav. Tas ir tāds ļoti labais gadījums, kas man liek noticēt, ka ar Latviju viss ir kārtībā, jo šindeļu jumta licējam – galvenajam meistaram – ir pieci dēli, un visi pieci ir apmācīti šindeļu jumta likšanā! Jā, viņi mācās dažādās universitātēs, bet viņi prot to amatu. Un tad nu visi pieci dēli brauc un liek manai mājai jumtu. Tā ir vērtība! Ko vēl dari savā brīvajā laikā, ja tev tāds ir? Brīvā laika man ir ļoti maz. Bet, cik nu ir, to cenšos pavadīt dabā. Jo ikdienā, kā jau tu arī teici, katru vakaru esmu "Dailes" namā, apkārt četrsimt cilvēki, un tas, kas pēcāk visvairāk nepieciešams, ir klusums, līdzsvars, miers, kuru var atrast tikai un vienīgi dabā: mežā, pie jūras, arī tomātus stādot, arī rozēm lapas griežot un kaut ko tādu darot. Tad tomēr dārza darbi tev maķenīt patīk? Tagad patīk, jā! Kad mamma savulaik Jaunpilī lika divus hektārus biešu izkaplēt – citādi uz balli netikšu, likās – nemūžam man nekā tāda nebūs! Bet tagad patīk.  Gribas savu tomātu noplūkt!  To tomātu nav tik daudz, drīzāk tā sajūta, ka no rīta ieej siltumnīcā – tas ir pilnīgi kaut kas cits. Un tā ir vienīgā atslodze, kas iespējama, savādāk nevar – daba!  Daba, un tūlīt arī maijs, tūlīt svētki. Man vienkārši gribas novēlēt tev, lai vari izbaudīt šo pavasari un kopā ar savējiem nosvinēt gan savu atzinību, gan mūsu valsts neatkarības atjaunošanas svētkus. Lai mums visiem skaistas aprīļa beigas un maija sākums, kad daba plaukst!  Sirsnīgs paldies tev, Gunda! Baltā galdauta svētki 4. maijā man vienmēr ir patikuši – man vispār patīk galdu klāt.

S05E44 | Friday, February 20, 2026   It's a big one today! We cover EIGHT stories including breaking news from NASA's Kennedy Space Center, a damning independent report into the Boeing Starliner crisis, two astonishing dark matter discoveries, the first ancient Jellyfish Galaxy, SpaceX rocket pollution science, and a cosmic farewell to a comet we'll never see again. Plus — yes — we briefly and responsibly address the UFO/UAP conversation.   Stories in this episode: •       Artemis II Wet Dress Rehearsal — Did NASA just clear the path to a March 6 launch? •       Starliner Independent Report — NASA says 'we failed them' as Type A mishap is confirmed •       UAP Files — Trump hints at declassification: should we get excited? •       Hubble finds CDG-2: the most dark matter-dominated galaxy ever discovered •       Jellyfish Galaxy spotted 5 billion years after the Big Bang — earlier than thought possible •       First real-time observation of SpaceX rocket re-entry pollution cloud •       First confirmed dark galaxy — a structure with no stars at all •       Comet Wierzchoś at closest approach today — and it's never coming back  

Kapitanka, astronavtka slovenskih korenin, Sunita "Suni" Williams nas je popeljala v termosfero, na višino 400 kilometrov. V sklopu treh poletov je v vesolje letela s Spaceshuttlom, ruskim Sojuzom in Boeingovim Starlinerjem, "tam" gor pa je zabeležila kar 608 (!) dni. Kakšen vonj ima vesolje? Kateri sedeži so udobnejši, v Spaceshuttlu ali Sojuzu? Kakšni so občutki, ko se sproži vžig in brutalni potisk! "Suni" je v svoji izjemni karieri "naletela" več kot 3.000 ur letenja in držala krmila več kot tridesetih zračnih plovil, med drugim tudi helikopterja Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk, nadzvočnega reaktivca T-38 Talon, C130 Herkules, KC-135 "Vomit Comet" ("zero gravity" letenje) in številnih drugih.

While AI will dramatically reshape work and careers – potentially displacing entry-level jobs and creating “companies of one” – the true competitive advantage will lie in taking a human-centric approach to AI adoption, where diverse teams maintain creativity, critical thinking and genuine human connection rather than simply automating away people to maximise shareholder returns.Larry Chao is the founding Chief Strategy and Operations Officer at trustme.ai, a startup building tools for AI governance.

We continue our conversation about the history and interaction of Christianity and Islam with Dr. Wafik Wahba of Tyndale University in Toronto, Canada. We will be discussing more highlights from Wafik's latest book Global Christianity and Islam - Exploring History Politics and Beliefs. Wafik will also give us a concise overview about the differences between how Christians and Muslims understand the Person of Jesus. From Dr. Wahba's website at Tyndale University: Dr. Wahba first came to Tyndale as adjunct professor of theology in 1998, having previously taught contextualized theology at the Evangelical Theological Seminary in Cairo, Egypt, as well as having pastored churches in Chicago and Toronto. Dr. Wahba has taught theology and intercultural studies in the United States, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America. Dr. Wahba is one of 31 contemporary reformed theologians who have contributed to The Future of Reformed Theology, edited by Willis, David & Welker, Michael, (Eerdmans, 1999). Dr. Wahba has also published in Zur Zunkunft Der Reformierten Theologie, (Neukirchener Verlag, 1998). He co-led the unit on Theological Education for Mission at the 2004 Forum of Lausanne Committee in Pattaya, Thailand and is one of the authors of “Effective Theological Education for World Evangelization” Lausanne Occasional Paper No. 57, (May 2005). Dr. Wahba serves on the Board of Directors for several international Christian organizations.

The history of Christianity and Islam has a long and complex history spanning several centuries, from Christians living among Muslims in Baghdad during the Golden Age of Islam to the Crusades and on into the 21st century. What does the future hold for Christian and Islamic relations? On the next two episodes of the Profile, we will be talking with an expert in the fields of Christianity and Islam, Dr. Wafik Wahba about his new book Global Christianity and Islam - Exploring History Politics and Beliefs. Wafik will give us a comprehensive overview of how Christianity and Islam have engaged and clashed since Islam emerged in the 7th century A.D.

IT'S A CHOICE TO BE HAPPY (Music and lyrics by Bill Mesnik)What makes me happy?Cause when I feel happyI feel like shitI can't define itI thought I was happyBut was I really happy?I don't knowI just can't show itEach soggy birthday cake makes me quiver and quakeA jog around the lake?I can't fake it.What makes you happy?Cause you always seem happyAre you free from pain?Oh please explain itYou say, “just be happy,It's a choice to be happy,”It starts with meI just don't see itYou're gracious and sweet with my air of defeatWhen we pass on the streetYou just greet me.I'm gonna be happyI've gotta be happyBefore I'm dead I'll get out of my headI'll live and be happyI'll love and be happyA smile comes firstFor better or worseI'll dance in the sunI'll laugh and have funI'll help everyone(Maybe someday)….

It's Wednesday, March 19th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistan court annulled forced marriage of Christian girl to Muslim man A court in Pakistan issued an historic ruling in favor of a Christian woman last month. Shahida Bibi was 11 years old when her mother eloped with a Muslim man who then “gave” Bibi to his brother. She faced years of abuse and coercion and gave birth to two children. She was also forced into an Islamic marriage once she turned 18. Thankfully, a court annulled the forced marriage. Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “While these forced conversions and marriage abuses happen across the globe, they are especially prevalent in Pakistan. In coordination with our allied lawyers in the country, we are taking every step possible to prevent these situations from occurring.” Pakistan is ranked eighth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  Bible sales nearly double United Kingdom Bible sales have nearly doubled in the United Kingdom, reports The Times. Between 2019 and 2024, the sale of Bibles increased 87% from 2.69 million British pounds to 5.02 million pounds.  Publishers credit this increased demand to the spiritual interest of young people. Sam Richardson, with The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, said, “Atheism, once considered by modern society to be the view of most rational adults, no longer seems to carry the same weight or appeal. Young people — Gen Z in particular — are statistically far less likely to identify as atheists than their parents.” Psalm 119:9 asks, “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.” Putin agreed to limited ceasefire Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a limited ceasefire in Ukraine during a call with U.S. President Donald Trump yesterday.  For 30 days, Russia said it would halt strikes on energy and infrastructure targets in Ukraine. This falls short of a complete 30-day ceasefire that Ukraine has agreed to.  Trump wrote on Truth Social, “My phone conversation today with President Putin of Russia was a very good and productive one. … We will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine.” Appearing on the Real Clear Politics Radio Show, reporter Phil Wegman, offered a fascinating boxing analogy. Listen. WEGMAN: “What is absent from this readout between Trump and Putin is any type of fireworks. Both Trump and Putin, they know each other. They're known entities, and while Trump isn't as aggressive in his description of the Russian dictator, he doesn't trust the guy. That much is clear from his moves on arming the Ukrainians during his first term, from his moves on Nord Stream. (Look at the map here) “I think this is just two folks who know each other pretty well, who are circling one another before they get into the ring and actually begin trading diplomatic blows to get this thing to an end.” By the way, Nord Stream is a network of offshore natural gas pipelines which run under the Baltic Sea, from Russia all the way to Germany (759 miles), to provide Western Europe with natural gas. Trump sides with church in zoning case The Trump administration is backing a church in a case over religious discrimination with a California city. The city of Santa Ana denied a request by Anchor Stone Christian Church to operate in the city's professional district. The city's zoning laws make it difficult for churches, but not other groups like museums or art galleries, to operate in the district. The U.S. Department of Justice supports the church, accusing the city leaders of Santa Ana of violating the federal law by giving less favorable treatment to religious assemblies.  Environmental Protection Agency rolls out biggest deregulation ever The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history last week. The agency announced 31 actions aimed at unleashing American energy, lowering the cost of living for American families, and giving power back to states to make their own decisions. The agency's administrator, Lee Zeldin, said, “Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen. We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S., and more.” Missouri AG to Planned Parenthood: No more Abortion Kill Pills Missouri is cracking down on chemical abortions in the state. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey issued a cease-and-desist order to Planned Parenthood last week.  Bailey noted, “This order is a necessary enforcement mechanism to prevent Planned Parenthood from continuing to disregard Missouri law and to protect the health and safety of Missouri women. Planned Parenthood has a documented history of subverting state law, including failure to file complication reports.” Two astronauts returned after 9 months stranded in space And finally … SPACEX ANNOUNCER: “And splashdown. Crew Nine, back on Earth.  (applause and cheers) Butch, Suni, on behalf of SpaceX, welcome home!” two NASA astronauts headed back to Earth yesterday after spending an unexpected nine months aboard the International Space Station.   Last June, they anticipated only an 8-day stay. They languished in space for 286 days – 35 times longer than the initially scheduled mission. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams had planned on a short mission last spring. However, the Boeing Starliner crew capsule that took them to space encountered technical issues, stranding them on the space station.  The astronauts returned thanks to a SpaceX Freedom capsule.  The capsule entered our atmosphere at 17,500 miles per hour.  The heat shield brought the speed down to 350 miles per hour. And then the four parachutes, which opened at 6,500 feet above Earth, lowered the speed to 119 miles per hour, enabling the capsule to land gently at 15 miles per hour in the Gulf of America off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. During an interview on board the space station, Wilmore shared his Christian faith. WILMORE: “My feeling on all of this goes back to my faith. It's bound in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is working out His plan and His purposes for His glory throughout all of humanity. And how that plays into our lives is significant and important, and however that plays out, I am content because I understand that. I understand that He's at work in all things.” Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 19th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Another Olympics, another set of stellar performances by the U.S. women's artistic gymnastics team. Thursday, the team won two medals in the women's all-around final: a gold for Simone Biles and a bronze for Sunisa Lee. The medals add to the team's overall count, which also includes a gold for the women's team final. Simone and Suni are expected to lead the team to more medals in the coming days. Each day the gymnasts compete, we are left to pick our jaws off the floor and wonder: How do they do that? So we called up one of our favorite science communicators, Frederic Bertley, to explain just that. He's the CEO of the Center of Science and Industry and our gymnastics physics guide for the day.Follow NPR's 2024 Paris Olympics coverage.Want us to cover the science powering other Olympians?
