"The title of my piece for the Autumn Project is called “Falling”. It is based on a field recording of fore and aft engine rooms on the Suur Toll museum ship in Tallinn Estonia. "I was very drawn to the percussive metallic clangs in the recording. For me autumn has a definite impact on my senses, which reminds me of distinctive percussive sounds coming from unknown directions. I do a lot of walking, and this is my favorite time of the year to take in the visual and audio changes. They have a definite impact on how I see and react to my natural surrounding. "Before starting the recording process, I did a long walk in the woods, and besides the crunching of twigs and grass, there was a bird that seemed to be following me as I walked, singing its song. This walking experience determined the sounds and direction of this piece. And the obvious title is from watching the colored leaves “Falling”." Tallinn ship engine room reimagined by Jeff Dungfelder.

A letter was published in the Financial Times: Calling for an immediate ‘peace'. But this clamour for a cessation of hostilities and a ‘peace at any price' deal shows blindness to Russian goals, argue the signatories of a counter letter in the same publication.

Orysia's research focuses on social change, the role of civil society in democratic transition in Eastern Europe and, most recently, democratic resilience to foreign encroachment. She is the author of several Chatham House research publications, including – Resilient Ukraine: Safeguarding Society from Russian Aggression. Her media work includes contributions for BBC, CNN, Guardian, The Times, Financial Times, and New York Times. ---------- James Sherr OBE is an Honorary fellow of the International Centre for Defence & Security in Tallinn Estonia.

What do Intelligent Communities know that others do not? Intelligent Communities like Espoo (Finland), Dublin (Ohio, USA), Eindhoven (The Netherlands), Tallinn (Estonia) and the current Intelligent Community of the Year, Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) are no longer just “smart cities.” They have gone at least one level higher. In our Moment of Truth podcast series, we ask them when they realized that they had gone from “smart city” to Intelligent Community, and what exactly it means to them. We also ask how they managed to get there.

First as a bar back, and then eventually as a bartender and then the last few years as a bar manager. Over the last five, six years, Kadrian has spent time working in Spain and New York City. At the end of November 2021, Kadrian moved from Estonia to western Norway to help open up a new bar in a small town south of Bergen. The bar is named Yos By The River.

Today's episode belongs to one of the craziest stories on this show so far. The name of the owner of this story is Jeannette Breen. Jeannette is the editor in Chief for Mindvalley Meditations, as well as a Certified Coach who has an honors degree in Psychology. She currently lives in Tallinn Estonia. Her desire is to use her life experience and knowledge to support others in becoming the best version of themselves. She has resided in 5 countries and about a dozen cities. She worked as a model for nearly a decade where she lived the champagne life, then found great success in corporate sales. Everything changed when she experienced plant medicine, which lead her to realize that the champagne life was a dangerous illusion and that the kill or be killed mentality in most corporate structures was not how she wanted to live her life. She decided to pursue a more simple life, left everything in the USA, and moved to the Sacred Valley of Peru to pursue a plant medicine and healing path. This was disrupted by the pandemic. Her connection with plant medicine, her passion for personal growth and psychology, and her own personal journey of healing have led her to who she has become today. So what are you waiting for?

MSC World Europa and MSC Euribia will become the first LNG-powered vessels to join the MSC Cruises fleet next year representing an investment of €3 billion in Liquified Natutal Gas (LNG) ships with the construction on World Europa II due to commence in early 2023.These ships play an important role in the Company's commitment to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. LNG is by far the cleanest marine fuel currently available at scale and it virtually eliminates local air pollutant emissions like sulphur oxides (99%), nitrogen oxides (85%) and particles (98%). In terms of emissions with a global impact, LNG plays a key role in climate change mitigation and the engines of these two ships have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 25% compared to standard fuels. In addition, with the subsequent availability of Bio and Synthetic forms of LNG, this energy source will provide a pathway toward eventual decarbonized operations.It was also revealed that MSC Cruises and the Chantiers de l'Atlantique confirmed the installation of a fuel cell pilot plant on board MSC World Europa known as Blue Horizon. The technology will use LNG to convert fuel into electricity at one of the highest efficiencies of any power solution available today, producing electricity and heat on board. The fuel cell technology selected by Chantiers de l'Atlantique (CdA) and MSC Cruises is the SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) developed by Bloom Energy. The SOFC will reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by about a further 30 percent compared with a conventional LNG engine without producing emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides or fine particles. It also offers the advantage of being compatible with LNG, as well as several low carbon fuels such as types of methanol, ammonia and hydrogen. This project will form the building block for future larger installations and the beginning of an even closer collaboration between MSC Cruises and Chantier de L'Atlantique on R&D of fuel cell technology.The traditional coin ceremony tradition took place as the keel was laid for MSC Cruises' second LNG-powered ship, MSC Euribia, which will be one of the most environmentally high performing contemporary vessels built in France. Anne Claire Juventin Responsible for Quality Control from the Chantiers de l'Atlantique, and Valentina Mancini, Brand Manager from MSC Cruises performed the traditional maritime ritual as godmothers representing the ship owner and the shipbuilder when they placed two coins under the keel as the historical sign of blessing and good fortune for the project, and the ship's operational life at sea.The float out of MSC World Europa, which will be the first LNG-powered vessel to join the MSC Cruises fleet took place at the shipyard in Saint-Nazaire where she will now be moved to a wet dock for work to continue on the ship until her delivery in November 2022.NCL Homeports in Panama City Norwegian Cruise Line, will become the first cruise line to homeport in Panama City, Panama, offering roundtrip Panama Canal voyages beginning 20 March 2022 with Norwegian Jewel.NCLK (Parent company of NCL) signed a multi-year agreement with the Panama Tourism Authority which allows the Company to seasonally homeport at the Colon Cruise Terminal as well as at Fuerte Amador Cruise Terminal located on the Pacific Ocean side of the country and adjacent to Panama City.In 2022 and 2023 the Company will offer 12 homeport voyages starting with Norwegian Jewel on 20 March 2022 where she will sail a nine-day itinerary traversing the Panama Canal and visiting incredible destinations including Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curaçao; Kralendijk, Bonaire and Cartagena, Colombia before arriving to the Caribbean side of Panama in the city of Colon.Starting 14 January 2023, Norwegian Gem will also feature select Panama Canal voyages including an 11-day journey visiting seven ports of call, including Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curaçao; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands before ending in New York City.

En el episodio de hoy hablamos sobre la evolución en el procesado de nuestras fotografías y Sandra nos acerca el trabajo del fotógrafo Anton Repponen. Patrocinado por Next-Image 2020. Concurso de fotografía internacional Huawei > TALLERES DE FOTOGRAFÍA 2020 Seguimos con la programación formativa para el segundo semestre de la temporada de Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje y nos vamos a fotografiar algunos de los lugares mágicos de la Costa de Bizkaia. Durante el Taller Costa Bizkaia 23, 24 y 25 de Octubre 2020 visitaremos algunas de las localizaciones más espectaculares de la costa de Bizkaia. ¿Te apetece acompañarme? Plazas limitadas. Taller Costa Bizkaia 23, 24 y 25 de Octubre 2020 EVOLUCIÓN EN EL PROCESADO DE NUESTRAS FOTOGRAFÍAS En este episodio hacemos un repaso de los cambios que hemos ido aplicando en el revelado de nuestras imágenes desde nuestros inicios. ¿Cómo eran nuestros procesados al principio? ¿Cómo son ahora? ¿Qué software de revelado hemos usado y usamos ahora? ENLACES DE INTERÉS Nuevo grupo en Telegram, donde la comunidad de oyentes comentan temas relacionados con los contenidos del podcast y la fotografía en general. Mi canal en YouTube. MI EQUIPO FOTOGRÁFICO Te dejo la lista con el equipo que utilizo en mis salidas fotográficas. FOTÓGRAFO DESTACADO En este episodio Sandra nos presenta el trabajo del fotógrafo Anton Repponen. Nombre: Anton Repponen Página web: http://repponen.com y https://www.photo.repponen.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/repponen Otras redes: https://twitter.com/repponen, https://www.flickr.com/photos/repponen ¿Por qué destaca? Anton Repponen es conocido por su faceta como diseñador. Aunque nació en San Petersburgo (Rusia), pasó su infancia en Tallinn (Estonia) donde estudió arquitectura. La fotografía es su segunda pasión. Y aunque Anton no se considera realmente un fotógrafo, la calidad de sus imágenes demuestra lo contrario. Es un fotógrafo completamente autodidacta que lleva haciendo fotos con regularidad desde que empezó a disparar una Zenit con 14 años. Por un lado, Anton le da mucha importancia a la composición y reconoce que una parte muy importante de su forma de fotografiar depende del encuadre y de cómo dispone los elementos que se encuentra en la escena. Por otro lado, confiesa que el revelado y el procesado le fascinan. Y aquí es donde mejor se conjugan su habilidad como diseñador y como fotógrafo ya que trata de dominar la parte técnica para enfatizar ciertos matices en sus fotos y que te fijes sólo en lo que él quiere que te fijes. Cuando Anton viaja lo que más le interesa es conocer cómo vive la gente y cómo la localización geográfica y la cultura modela la forma de vida. Huye de esas listas de “los 10 sitios que deberías visitar”. En su página web hay una cantidad sorprendente de álbumes de muchas partes del mundo. Y ninguno decepciona. Sinceramente, su dominio de la composición y del color son absolutamente maravillosos. Además, la temática de sus imágenes huye por completo de las postales y las fotos manidas que estamos hartos de ver. Son un soplo de aire fresco. Uno de los proyectos que más me ha llamado la atención es su “New York Photo Guide”. Anton tenía ganas de desarrollar un proyecto que combinase los viajes, la fotografía y los mapas. Y se le ocurrió hacer un experimento: una guía visual de Nueva York, donde vive desde hace 13 años. Basándose en su propia experiencia, antes de viajar Anton suele ver fotos de los sitios que piensa visitar y muchas veces se queda con las ganas de saber desde dónde se hizo la foto, con qué distancia focal, a qué hora etc. La sección “Stories” (Historias) de su página web incluye varias proyectos interactivos, algunos de viajes como la crónica de su viaje por Indonesia o Perú, otros más curiosos como “Aircrafts” en el muestra su faceta de aerotrastornado. Por último,

Lawyers on Fire spoke with Kaspar Korjus in Tallinn/Estonia, a truly inspiring and thriving startup hub. Inspiring indeed was the discussion with Kaspar as well which is why we split it into two parts. Kaspar has been the most citied Estonian by global press in 2017 and 2018. He is listed by Forbes Estonia `30 under 30´ people as #1 in Technology and Finance and was elected by US CTO Megan Smith as one of the 20 global digital leaders. In 2019 Kaspar was nominated as JCI 10 Most Outstanding Young Persons of the World. Furthermore, Kaspar was awarded the Order of Orange-Nassau by the King of the Netherlands, His Majesty Willem-Alexander, in recognition of his notable contributions for the betterment of societies worldwide, making him one of the youngest knights you could ever encounter. If that’s not enough, he has recently co-founded Pactum. Pactum helps companies to improve every contract they have ever signed by automatically negotiating contracts on a massive scale. The system learns to understand the value of different contract terms and uses AI to perform high-quality and considerate negotiations that reach a win-win outcome. The second part of the interview is about Kaspar’s role in transforming both the public and private sector globally. As founding Managing Director of Estonian e-Residency (2014-2019), Kaspar is helping governments worldwide to become truly digital and borderless.

Wired magazine has called Estonia “the most advanced digital society in the world.” The President of Estonia (a woman — yay!) just published an article about how “Estonia is running its country like a tech company” and that “governments must learn to provide public services as efficiently as Amazon sells books: no physical presence, no cost of application, no opening hours.” Sounds pretty great to me. And to Julia Barrett, an American who was so excited by what’s going on in Estonia that she moved there to help develop e-Residency 2.0. E-Residency is a government program that bestows e-Residency to non-Estonians around the world. Julia also represents e-Residency in its partnership with the United Nations. In this episode, Julia talks about what’s like to live in the world’s most digital society. And how despite all the tech, Estonians still cherish nature and traditions like jam making and baking black bread.

What adventures are there to be had on the Baltic Sea? Culture, food, and fun in cities like Kiel (Germany), Copenhagen (Denmark), Stockholm (Sweden), Tallinn (Estonia), and St. Petersburg (Russia). Gather amazing experiences and enjoy, until a typo ruins everything. Then, it's a "travel whammy!" In this episode, Gail and Piper discuss recent travels in Europe as well as what happens when your luggage doesn't quite keep pace with you. Also, what's the most versatile garment? The swimsuit. Why you ask? Gail shares her tale of traveling to Italy as a young, innocent archaeologist who arrived for a months long stay with only a container full of plastic bags, which is not what she packed for herself. Travel whammies are those moments when what can go wrong, does. The harder you struggle, the more like quicksand they become. So what do you do? First: post to social media.

Jeesus käis Aabrahami õnnistustes ja oli rikas. Jeesus oli jõukas Oma isiklikus elus ja teenistuses. Tema valatud veri annab meile juurdepääsu rohkemate õnnistusteni elus.
Meil kõigil on elus põld, aga kui me räägime Jumala Sõna usus, külvavad räägitud sõnad seemneid meie põllule. Me saame ennast paremaks teha läbi viljade, mis meist esile tulevad.
Tähendamissõnas talentidest õpetas Jeesus, kuidas kasutada kõiki Jumala antud ande. Jumal andis meile, millega me hakkama saame, meie ülesanne on seda kasvatada. Karistus tuleb siis, kui me ei kasuta ega üritagi kasutada Jumala antud ande.
Pärand ei seisne selles, mida sa teed, vaid kes sa oled. Jumala lastena oleme Kristuse kaaspärijad, aga õnnistuse vastuvõtmiseks pead sa saama küpsemaks. Vaimulik küpsus eeldab, et me alistume kellegi meelevalla alla ja lubame neil olla Jumala hääleks meie elus.
Jumal võtab suured asjad ja paneb need tavalistesse inimestesse. Meie oleme need, kes annavad loa kas saada õnnistatud või mitte, läbi selle, kuidas me võtame vastu teisi.
Jumal töötab läbi asendamise ja Ta tegutseb sinu elus teiste inimeste kaudu. Me peame austama kõiki, sest meis kõigis on aare teiste jaoks.
Jeesus oli meisterlik jutuvestja. Jeesus kasutas tähendamissõnu, et õpetada kuningriigi tõdesid, et inimesed võiksid paremini mõista. Jeesus tundis oma kuulajaskonda, ka meie peame teadma, kes meid kuulavad, kui me oma usku jagame.
Austades neid, kes on meie valitsuses võimupositsioonil, on tähtis, et võtta vastu õnnistust Jumalalt. Palveta nende eest. Otsi jätkuvalt Jumala hetki, sest Ta saab liikuma meie rahvas, kui me Talle vastame
Jeesus oli Jumala Tall, patuta Kristus. Ta ei tulnud mitte ainult maksma hinda meie pattude eest, vaid andis ka eeskuju kiusatuste võitmisel.
Vabaduse karikas on kättesaadav, et sa võiksid olla stabiilne -- vaim, hing ja ihu. Vabadus tuleb läbi protsessi ja pingutuse. Sa jood vabaduse karikast, kui sa uuendad ja arendad oma hinge.
Esimene karikas on päästekarikas, esindab Jumalat, kes toob sind patust välja. Saatan tahaks sind hoida patu orjana, aga kui sa välja pääsed, oled sa õnnelik.
Meie Päästja sündimine ei olnud Jeesuse algus, Ta on alati olnud. Jeesus tuli, et meid Jumalaga ühendada, meie missioon on ühendada inimesi Jeesusega!
Piibel räägib kõigi aegade parima loo! See on Jumala lugu ja sina oled selles. Jumalal oli algusest peale plaan inimene lunastada, saates Jeesuse maksma hinda kõigi pattude eest. See on, mida me jõuluajal tähistame.
Deemonid võivad kasutada inimesi, et täita oma kurja plaani. Seepärast peame me jääma valvele selle vastu oma elus. Meil on Jeesuse Nimes vägi deemonite üle, aga me rõõmustame selle üle, et meie nimed on kirjas taevas.
Jumal andis sulle hinge kasutamiseks, ja järjepidevus loeb. Viis, kuidas sa hoiad Jeesust oma hinge ankruna, on läbi sõnakuulelikkuse ja hoides oma usk Temas.
Inglid on reaalsed ja nad on siin, et aidata meil täita Jumala plaani. Inglid on Jumala armee, kes kuuletub ainult Jumala korraldustele. Nad on loodud ülistama Jumalat ja tegema Tema tahet.
Elus tuleb torme ja raskeid aegu. Aga kui sa jääd ankrusse Jeesusesse, saad sa selles elus valitsema. Hoia oma usk Temas.
Meie kodud võivad olla taevas maa peal, kuid on asju, mida sa pead tegema, et hoida oma kodu turvalisena. Saatana peamine sihtmärk on meie kodud, ent Jumala ligiolu meie kodus toob muutuse.
Et meie kodu oleks terve ja tugev, on meil vaja täita see armastusega. 5 viisi, kuidas osutada ja vastu võtta perekonna tervet armastust kodus.
Sa pead otsustama, et sul saab olema terve kodu. Sinu kodu õhkkond on tähtis; sul on vaja mõnesid stabilisaatoreid oma koju, et see oleks taastumise ja ettevalmistuse paik.
Meil on vaja kodus õnnelikkust, et kodu oleks meie jaoks turvaline. Jumala Sõnas on instruktsioon, mis aitab meil kodust teha õnneliku paiga.
Elu on segu heast ja halvast, seetõttu on meil vaja Jumalat. Siin maailmas on ainult 2 kohta, kus me saame ette valmistuda ja paraneda, need on kodu ja kogudus. Õpeta seda oma lastele.
Vaenlane püüab saada kahjulikke asju sinu koju. Me peame valvele jääma isegi väikeste asjade vastu, seeläbi hoiame oma kodu õnneliku ja ohutuna.
Meie kodud võivad olla taevas maa peal, kuid on asju, mida sa pead tegema, et hoida oma kodu turvalisena. Saatana peamine sihtmärk on meie kodud, ent Jumala ligiolu meie kodus toob muutuse.

Tallinn, like many parts of the Baltic states, has modernized at an astounding rate since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Yet the Old World ambience within its walled town center has been beautifully preserved. In the 15th century, Tallinn consisted of two feuding medieval towns: The hill-topping upper town — called Toompea — is from where the country of Estonia has long been ruled. The lower town was an independent city, filled with mostly German merchants who hired Estonians to do their menial labor. Today, Tallinn is a fascinating blend of pleasing towers, ramparts, facades, "striptiis" bars, churches, shops, and people-watching.

Tallinn is a mix of east and west. Its Nordic Lutheran culture and language connect it with Scandinavia's Stockholm and Helsinki. But two centuries of Tsarist Russian rule and nearly 50 years as part of the Soviet Union have blended in a distinctly Russian flavor. Tallinn has modernized at an astounding rate since the fall of the Soviet Union, while also remaining one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the north of Europe.
