I en tid, hvor samfundet er mere afhængigt af digitale løsninger end nogensinde, sætter vi i denne debat fokus på, hvordan vi kan ruste os til de værst tænkelige digitale kriser. Med afsæt i aktuelle geopolitiske spændinger og konflikter undersøger vi, hvordan vi kan forberede os på at blive knockoutet på den digitale front. Hvordan bliver vi bedre til at sikre adgangen til kritiske digitale services i de mest alvorlige trusselsscenarier – og hvad vil der egentlig ske med vores digitaliserede samfund, hvis strømmen forsvinder, og det hele går ned i en længere periode? Hvilke værktøjer og strategier bør være en del af vores digitale beredskab? Skal vi investere mere i backup-systemer, have fokus på decentralisering eller måske helt nye former for digitale forsyningskæder? Er løsningen at tage data ned fra skyen og vende tilbage til analoge metoder, eller findes der mindre drastiske tilgange? Hør eller genhør debatten fra Dansk IT's store konference om offentlig digitalisering, OffDig, der fandt sted i marts 2025 med omkring 1.800 deltagere. Medvirkende: - Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, vicedirektør i Dansk Erhverv, fhv. vicestatsminister og forsvarsminister - Sarah Louise Aalborg, CISO i Tivoli og medlem af Dansk IT's udvalg for cybersikkerhed i samfundet - Mark Fiedel, fungerende chef, Styrelsen for samfundssikkerhed - Peter Kruse, CISO i Clever og mangeårig sikkerhedsekspert og it-iværksætter i bl.a. CSIS Group og Heimdal Security - Moderator: Kim Stensdal, chef for kommunikation og viden i Dansk IT

In deze speciale aflevering van Podcast De Stemming, LIVE vanaf het podcastfestival van de NPO in Tivoli Vredenburg, een extra-super-speciale aflevering, want dit is de aller-aller-aller-laatste podcast met Xander.

Voor de laatste keer zitten Joost en Xander samen in de studio in Den Haag voor de podcast. De laatste reguliere podcast, maar zondag is er nog het Toetje in Tivoli -het echte afscheid- live, maar natuurlijk daarna ook beschikbaar als extra aflevering.  Er werd gedebatteerd over de koers van Nederland in Europa in deze onzekere tijden. Mocht Schoof naar eigen inzicht optreden in Brussel?   En voor het eerst in lange tijd zien we best wat veranderingen in de politieke peilingen. De PVV verliest en het vertrouwen in het kabinet daalt. Wat doet dat met de partijen in de coalitie?  En in de Wandelgangen blijkt Xander al best een goede lobbyist voor mooie sportuitzendingen bij de publieke omroep. Zo went Xander alvast aan zijn nieuwe baan.

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Sonia Kostich. The two talk about Sonia's unique merger of arts and finance, her role in fostering artistic talent at Baryshnikov Arts, and the importance of building relationships and support systems in every career phase.  In this episode, we discuss: How Sonia Kostich transitioned from a professional ballet dancer to a career in finance, going to college at 42 and working at Goldman Sachs. What inspired her to reinvent herself and pursue a new path after a successful 20-year career in dance. When Sonia made the decision to take the next step in her life and focus on education and a new career direction. Why Sonia believes keeping strong relationships and a support network is crucial, especially during major life transitions. How the skills and discipline from a dance career can translate into success in the business world. The importance of staying open to possibilities and being willing to step into the unknown as part of personal and professional growth. Sonja Kostich- Executive Director of Baryshnikov Arts brings with her both the knowledge and experience of having been a professional dancer for over two decades as well as significant business acumen derived from her business education and time working at Goldman Sachs. Through a unique and successful professional trajectory, she now merges her artistic and business experience as an arts leader. Ms. Kostich was hired by Mikhail Baryshnikov at the age of 17 to join American Ballet Theatre from The School of Classical Ballet, the training school for ABT created by Mr. Baryshnikov, consisting of only seven female students and five male students. She later danced with the San Francisco Ballet and the Zurich Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project, and in multiple collaborations with opera/theater director Peter Sellars, before co-founding OtherShore, which she co-directed for six years. Her experience in ballet, contemporary, and modern dance resulted in a diverse international career that spanned across artistic disciplines.  Upon retiring from dancing, Ms. Kostich returned to school, obtaining a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting and Business Communication from Zicklin School of Business, CUNY Baruch College, where she graduated Salutatorian at the age of 42. Following, she began a full-time position at Goldman Sachs in the Finance Division with a focus on regulatory capital requirements. Simultaneously she obtained an MA in Arts Administration, eventually returning to the dance world, first as the finance manager at Mark Morris Dance Group and then as program manager at New York City Center. From 2018 to 2022, she served as the Chief Executive and Artistic Officer at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, a 153-acre artist sanctuary located in Tivoli, NY, where she led the successful rebrand and revitalization of the over 30-year organization, bringing it to award-winning status for its significant artistic and economic contributions to the Hudson Valley.  In October 2022, Ms. Kostich joined Baryshnikov Arts as its new Executive Director. As a female Korean American, born in Seoul, Korea, and raised in Minnesota, her history, both personal and professional, lends itself to cultivating and supporting new perspectives as Baryshnikov Arts expands its capacity to create multi-platform and collaborative havens for artistic expression, innovation and freedom and especially as we commit further to elevating and sharing the stories of artists of diverse cultures and histories.

My guest for Episode #524 of the Lean Blog Interviews Podcast is John Willis, an accomplished IT management expert with over 45 years of experience. His extensive body of work includes contributions to Deming's Journey to Profound Knowledge and co-authoring The DevOps Handbook. See video, transcript, and more Hosts a podcast that I was recently on, "Profound." John focuses his current research on DevOps, DevSecOps, IT risk, modern governance, and audit compliance. Over the course of his career, he has sold companies to Docker and Dell, and he played a foundational role at Opscode (now Chef). In addition, John founded Gulf Breeze Software, an award-winning IBM business partner recognized for its successful deployment of Tivoli technology for enterprise clients. He has authored six IBM Redbooks on enterprise systems management and served as the founder and chief architect of Chain Bridge Systems. Altogether, John has written more than 11 books and launched over 10 startups, cementing his reputation as a significant innovator in the IT industry. In this episode, the discussion navigates the intersection of lean principles, agile methodologies, and Deming's philosophies as they apply to modern IT and operations. John delves into how systems thinking, profound knowledge, and psychological safety underpin effective incident management and cybersecurity practices. The conversation explores practical challenges and the proactive strategies necessary for integrating legacy improvement methods with today's cloud innovations and infrastructure as code. Throughout the episode, John examines the real-world application of these timeless principles, offering listeners actionable insights into continuous improvement and risk management. He highlights the importance of questioning established norms and embracing complexity to drive operational excellence, providing a compelling roadmap for navigating the evolving digital landscape. Questions, Notes, and Highlights: Could you share your origin story regarding Lean and continuous improvement--specifically, what you learned during your early years at Exxon? How have you seen Deming's principle of eliminating fear put into practice in IT and entrepreneurial settings? Is the phenomenon you described established fact or more of a hypothesis? How can we confirm or measure the validity of that knowledge? Why do you consider cyber terrorism one of today's most significant threats? This podcast is part of the #LeanCommunicators network.

rWotD Episode 2863: Forfun Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 6 March 2025 is Forfun.Forfun was a Brazilian alternative rock band which reached the peak of its popularity in the mid- to late 2000s. Formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2001, their initial line-up comprised vocalist/guitarist Danilo Cutrim, bassist Vítor Isensee and drummer Bruno Tizé. By 2002, Tizé left the band and was replaced by Nicholas Christ, while Isensee switched his position with Rodrigo Costa to become second guitarist. Their first shows were frequently attended by the sons of then-Deputy (and future President) Jair Bolsonaro, Eduardo and Carlos, who were personal friends of the bandmembers; Eduardo would later cameo in the music video for "História de Verão". They released in 2003 the demo album Das Pistas de Skate às Pistas de Dança, which was a significant underground hit, and in 2005 their official debut, Teoria Dinâmica Gastativa, produced by Liminha, came out through Universal Music Group.Following the release of Polisenso (2008) and Alegria Compartilhada (2011), which counted with guest appearances by rapper Black Alien and big band Funk Como Le Gusta, the group reached further proeminence due to their nominations to the MTV Video Music Brazil award in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2012; in the 2005 edition, they performed a cover of Ultraje a Rigor's "Nós Vamos Invadir Sua Praia" alongside Leela, Ramirez and Dibob, with whom they would develop a strong friendship. In 2012 they collaborated on the song "Rio Porque Tô no Rio", described as an ode to Rio de Janeiro.In 2007, they collaborated on the eighth album by Santos-based band Charlie Brown Jr., Ritmo, Ritual e Responsa, co-writing and performing the track "O Universo a Nosso Favor". On February 13 and 14 of the same year, they participated in a show organized by MTV Brasil alongside Fresno, Hateen, Moptop and NX Zero; a live album of the performance would be released soon after, titled MTV ao Vivo: 5 Bandas de Rock.In 2013, they released the DVD Forfun ao Vivo no Circo Voador, recorded on December 20, 2012, and which counted with guest appearances by their friends from Dibob, Toni Garrido of Cidade Negra and Dead Fish vocalist Rodrigo Lima. The DVD contains three studio tracks recorded as extras: "Ahorita", "Malícia" and "Terra de Cego".Their final studio album, Nu, came out in 2014. The following year they announced they would be ceasing their activities; Rodrigo Costa would elaborate in a 2019 interview that the major reason of the band's end was that he was veering from their initial "left-wing ideals", causing a rift between him and his colleagues. In 2016, Cutrim, Isensee and Christ formed a new project, Braza, and alongside former members of Dibob and Ramirez, Costa founded the group Tivoli.In 2022, they released the DVD Forfun ao Vivo na Fundição, originally recorded on December 12, 2015, at the last show of their farewell tour.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:12 UTC on Thursday, 6 March 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Forfun 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 Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Stephen.

Moin! Erstaunlich, was da in Berlin auf einmal alles geht: Die Schuldenbremse soll doch reformiert werden, Union und SPD planen ein 500 Milliarden Sondervermögen für die Infrastruktur.

Freddy Baum hat nochmal im Alemannia-Podcast der Aachener Zeitung vorbei geschaut und spricht über seinen Wechsel zu Eintracht Hohkeppel, über nach wie vor sehr gute Kontakte zum Tivoli, über seine Zukunftspläne und neuen Tattoos, die beweisen: Der 24-Jährige trägt die Alemannia und Aachen nicht nur im Herzen. Im Gespräch mit Pierre Dyckmans und Peter Engels geht es auch um die Idee einer zweiten Mannschaft bei der Alemannia, die wichtig für die Entwicklung junger Spieler ist und bei der Freddy Baum künftig eine Rolle spielen könnte. Außerdem, was er dem Verein in diesen unruhigen Zeiten wünscht und wie er als Außenstehender jetzt auf die Mannschaft blickt. Für ihn hat sie das Potenzial, in die 2. Liga aufzusteigen. ­ Alle Folgen unseres Alemannia-Podcasts findet Ihr hier: https://www.aachener-zeitung.de/themen/you-never-talk-alleng/ - mit freundlicher Unterstützung unseres Partners ABIOMED, dem Medizintechnik-Unternehmen aus Aachen. hhttps://www.abiomed.com/de-de Die Aachener Zeitung ist Teil des Trust-Projekts für einen vertrauenswürdigen Journalismus.

Giorgio Ghiotti"Casa che eri"Hacca Edizioniwww.hacca.it“Ci è voluto un uomo – uno stronzo mancato in mezzo a tutti gli stronzi veri che ho a vario titolo amato – per metterci in crisi, per rivelarci”.Una storia di neo quarantenni, nella sonnolenza feroce di una Roma (e di un'età) senza apparente futuro. Ma prima di tutto una storia sul tradimento, reale e percepito, di un'amicizia, quella tra i due protagonisti Aldo (voce narrante) e Luisa, quando entra nelle loro vite Alessio Patriarca. Dunque una storia di gelosia e di personaggi secondari affatto secondari (Vittorio e Michel nella stanza dei colombi; Caterina che guasta il suo canto con le sigarette e vigila sulla figlia Dacia che forse nasce e forse no; Patrizia che da sola resta a fare la guardia a una villa a Tivoli assediata dagli uccelli…), dentro una Roma che di borghese ha solo qualche sentimento superstite, e palazzi e appartamenti che, per i protagonisti, diventano gabbie.“Giorgio Ghiotti è uno dei prodigi della nostra letteratura. Ha iniziato prestissimo e subito si è dimostrato all'altezza delle aspettative. Porta con sé daanni il bagaglio della nostra scrittura del Novecento da cui si fa sempre accogliere e sorprendere. In questo ultimo romanzo raggiunge uno stadio nuovo. La scrittura feroce e onirica a tratti dei racconti si scioglie nella malinconia. Una malinconia terribile perché riguarda i giovani mentre la loro gioventù è ancora qui, presente. La sparizione di un amico porta le aspettative dei venti anni a scolorire e perdersi nei rimpianti degli adulti. Ghiotti ha il passo sicuro e racconta con la sua solita eleganza schietta sessualità, dolore, rancori e fallimenti.”Giulia CaminitoIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Transcript:Da: Tivoli Gardens i København var forvandlet til et vinterparadis.En: Tivoli Gardens in København was transformed into a winter paradise.Da: Snefnugg dalede roligt fra himlen, og de tusinde lys glimtede mod den mørke nat.En: Snowflakes gently descended from the sky, and the thousands of lights glimmered against the dark night.Da: Midt i dette vintereventyr stødte Mads og Freja tilfældigt ind i hinanden på skøjtebanen.En: In the midst of this winter fairy tale, Mads and Freja accidentally bumped into each other on the skating rink.Da: Mads, der var ny i byen og dedikeret til at knytte nye venskaber, smilede bredt, da han bød Freja op til en skøjtetur.En: Mads, who was new to the city and dedicated to making new friends, smiled broadly as he invited Freja for a skate.Da: Freja, altid på udkig efter nye oplevelser, tog imod tilbuddet med glæde.En: Freja, always looking for new experiences, gladly accepted the offer.Da: Snart svævede de to som gamle venner hen over isen med latteren hængende i luften.En: Soon, the two of them glided like old friends across the ice, their laughter lingering in the air.Da: Hver dag mødtes de ved banen, og en særlig forbindelse begyndte at spire mellem dem.En: Every day, they met at the rink, and a special connection began to blossom between them.Da: Men der var én person, der bekymrede sig for Freja – hendes mangeårige ven, Kasper.En: But there was one person who worried about Freja—her longtime friend, Kasper.Da: Kasper havde sine forbehold.En: Kasper had his reservations.Da: Han havde kendt Freja længe og følte, hun bevægede sig for hurtigt med den nye skater, Mads.En: He had known Freja for a long time and felt she was moving too quickly with the new skater, Mads.Da: En dag tog Kasper mod til sig og besluttede at tale med Freja, mens de stod ved den varme drik stand.En: One day, Kasper gathered his courage and decided to talk to Freja while they stood by the hot drink stand.Da: "Freja, er du sikker på, at du ved, hvad du gør?"En: "Freja, are you sure you know what you're doing?"Da: spurgte Kasper forsigtigt.En: Kasper asked cautiously.Da: "Mads virker flink, men du har kun kendt ham i kort tid."En: "Mads seems nice, but you've only known him for a short time."Da: Freja smilede, men hun forstod Kaspers bekymring.En: Freja smiled, but she understood Kasper's concern.Da: "Jeg ved, du bekymrer dig, Kasper, men jeg har det godt.En: "I know you're worried, Kasper, but I feel good.Da: Det er bare skønne dage på isen indtil videre."En: It's just wonderful days on the ice so far."Da: Ugerne gik, og det omdannede venskab mellem Mads og Freja blev stærkere.En: Weeks passed, and the blossoming friendship between Mads and Freja grew stronger.Da: Men Frejas tanker blev tunge med Kaspers spørgsmål.En: But Freja's thoughts were weighed down by Kasper's questions.Da: Skulle hun lytte til ham?En: Should she listen to him?Da: En aften, da Tivolis pariserhjul svævede over haven, besluttede Freja sig for at tage Mads og Kasper med på en ærlig snak.En: One evening, as Tivoli's Ferris wheel hovered over the garden, Freja decided to have an honest conversation with both Mads and Kasper.Da: Mens de tre sad øverst i pariserhjulet med udsigten over den sneklædte by, åbnede Freja op.En: While the three of them sat at the top of the Ferris wheel with the view over the snow-clad city, Freja opened up.Da: "Mads, jeg kan godt lide dig," sagde hun ligefrem.En: "Mads, I like you," she said straightforwardly.Da: "Men jeg er nødt til at vide, hvad du virkelig ønsker."En: "But I need to know what you really want."Da: Mads tog en dyb indånding.En: Mads took a deep breath.Da: "Freja, jeg ønsker bare at kende dig bedre.En: "Freja, I just want to get to know you better.Da: Jeg har ikke mere end det på hjerte.En: I don't have more than that in my heart.Da: Måske lidt håb om mere, men det haster ikke," svarede han ærligt.En: Maybe a little hope for more, but there's no rush," he replied honestly.Da: Kasper så på dem begge.En: Kasper looked at them both.Da: Inderst inde ønskede han Frejas lykke, og Mads syntes ærlig.En: Deep down, he wanted Freja's happiness, and Mads seemed genuine.Da: "Jeg vil bare ikke have, du bliver såret, Freja," indrømmede han.En: "I just don't want you to get hurt, Freja," he admitted.Da: Freja pillede ved sit armbånd og sagde stille, "Jeg forstår, Kasper.En: Freja fiddled with her bracelet and said quietly, "I understand, Kasper.Da: Jeg vil tage det stille og roligt."En: I will take it slow and steady."Da: Da pariserhjulet satte dem ned igen, indså alle tre, at de havde fundet en balance.En: As the Ferris wheel let them down again, all three realized they had found a balance.Da: Mads og Freja tog de næste skridt forsigtigt, hånd i hånd, mens Kasper endelig slap lidt af sin frygt.En: Mads and Freja took the next steps cautiously, hand in hand, while Kasper finally released some of his fear.Da: De nød den magiske vinter i Tivoli Gardens, trygge i tanken om, at denne nye rejse kun lige var begyndt, en skridt ad gangen.En: They enjoyed the magical winter in Tivoli Gardens, secure in the thought that this new journey had only just begun, one step at a time.

met many people, but none had touched his heart yet.Da: Freja så Mathias komme imod hende med et stort smil.En: Freja saw Mathias coming toward her with a big smile.Da: De havde mødtes kort tidligere på aftenen, og hun kunne mærke, at han var anderledes.En: They had briefly met earlier in the evening, and she could feel that he was different.Da: Der var noget ved hans entusiastiske energi, som hun både fandt tiltrækkende og skræmmende.En: There was something about his enthusiastic energy that she found both attractive and intimidating.Da: "Hej igen," sagde Mathias, da han nåede hen til hende.En: “Hi again,” said Mathias when he reached her.Da: "Hvordan går det?"En: "How's it going?"Da: Freja trak på skuldrene.En: Freja shrugged.Da: "Det går fint.En: "It's fine.Da: Det er en smuk aften, ikke?"En: It's a beautiful evening, isn't it?"Da: "Jo, det er det.En: "Yes, it is.Da: Men det er altid bedre at dele det med nogen," svarede Mathias med et blink.En: But it's always better to share it with someone," replied Mathias with a wink.Da: "Vil du se fyrværkeri med mig ved midnat?"En: "Would you like to watch the fireworks with me at midnight?"Da: Freja tøvede.En: Freja hesitated.Da: Hun tænkte på tidligere hjerteknuser, men noget i Mathias' øjne beroligede hende.En: She thought about past heartbreaks, but something in Mathias' eyes reassured her.Da: Hun besluttede sig for at tage chancen.En: She decided to take a chance.Da: "Okay," sagde hun, en smule nervøst.En: "Okay," she said, a little nervously.Da: "Det ville jeg gerne."En: "I'd like that."Da: De tilbragte aftenen sammen, slentrede rundt i parken og snakkede om livet.En: They spent the evening together, strolling around the park and talking about life.Da: Mathias viste sig at være en god lytter, og hans

about his dreams, and Freja began to open up about her own hopes and fears.Da: Da klokken nærmede sig midnat, fandt de en plads med udsigt til himlen.En: As the clock approached midnight, they found a spot with a view of the sky.Da: Mennesker stimlede sammen, og forventningen steg.En: People gathered together, and the anticipation grew.Da: Frejas hjerte bankede hurtigt, ikke kun på grund af fyrværkeriet, men også på grund af Mathias ved hendes side.En: Freja's heart beat quickly, not only because of the fireworks but also because of Mathias by her side.Da: Da de første glitrende lys eksploderede på nattehimlen, så Freja over på Mathias.En: When the first sparkling lights exploded in the night sky, Freja looked over at Mathias.Da: "Jeg har været bange for at stole på nogen," sagde hun, næsten hviskende.En: "I've been afraid to trust anyone," she said, almost whispering.Da: Mathias tog blidt hendes hånd.En: Mathias gently took her hand.Da: "Jeg forstår," sagde han.En: "I understand," he said.Da: "Jeg lover at tage det stille og roligt."En: "I promise to take it slowly."Da: Et øjeblik stod tiden stille mellem dem, og de følte begge en dyb forbindelse.En: For a moment, time stood still between them, and they both felt a deep connection.Da: Da midnat ramte, omgav dem glædesråb og kram fra alle sider.En: When midnight struck, they were surrounded by joyful shouts and hugs from all sides.Da: Freja og Mathias mødte hinandens blik, og al tvivl smeltede væk.En: Freja and Mathias met each other's gaze, and all doubt melted away.Da: I det nye år, blandt Tivolis magiske lys og fyrværkeri, indså Freja, at det var okay at åbne sit hjerte igen.En: In the new year, among Tivoli's magical lights and fireworks, Freja realized it was okay to open her heart again.Da: Mathias forstod nu, at de dybeste forbindelser kræver tid og oprigtighed.En: Mathias now understood that the deepest connections require time and sincerity.Da: "Ska' vi tage på skøjteløb i morgen?"En: "Shall

perfekt."En: "That sounds perfect."Da: Således begyndte deres fælles rejse, fyldt med vinterens glæder og den stille løfte om noget smukt, vokset fra nytårets begyndelse i Tivoli Gardens.En: Thus began their shared journey, filled with the joys of winter and the quiet promise of something beautiful, grown from the beginning of the new year at Tivoli Gardens.

Story Transcript:Da: De dryssede blade fløj omkring i Tivoli Haven, mens Lars og Mikkel trådte forsigtigt ind gennem porten.En: The fluttering leaves flew around in Tivoli Haven as Lars and Mikkel cautiously stepped through the gate.Da: Det var en kølig efterårsdag, og allerede kunne man fornemme julens glimtende lys hænge over forlystelsesparkens smukke haver.En: It was a cool autumn day, and already one could sense the shimmering lights of Christmas hanging over the amusement park's beautiful gardens.Da: Lars var dybt fascineret af mysterier og havde netop fundet et gammelt brev i sin bedstefars skuffe.En: Lars was deeply fascinated by mysteries and had just found an old letter in his grandfather's drawer.Da: Det havde ledt dem til Tivoli, hvor et skjult skat tilsyneladende ventede.En: It had led them to Tivoli, where a hidden treasure apparently awaited.Da: "Hej Lars, hvad tror du, vi skal lede efter først?"En: "Hey Lars, what do you think we should look for first?"Da: spurgte Mikkel ivrigt og så sig omkring med lysende øjne.En: asked Mikkel eagerly, glancing around with bright eyes.Da: Hans begejstring for eventyr var smitsom, men Lars holdt hovedet koldt.En: His excitement for adventure was contagious, but Lars kept his head cool.Da: "Vi skal følge sporene fra brevet," svarede Lars og trak det frem fra sin jakkelomme.En: "We need to follow the clues from the letter," replied Lars, pulling it out of his jacket pocket.Da: Papiret var gulnet af tiden, men skriften var stadig klar.En: The paper was yellowed with age, but the writing was still clear.Da: "Se her, der er et symbol af en stjerne ved siden af pariserhjulet."En: "Look here, there's a symbol of a star next to the Ferris wheel."Da: De bevægede sig mod den store forlystelse, mens de skiftedes til at spekulere over, hvad stjernen kunne betyde.En: They moved towards the large attraction, taking turns speculating on what the star could mean.Da: Pludselig trådte en kvinde frem fra skyggerne, netop som de nåede frem.En: Suddenly, a woman stepped forward from the shadows just as they arrived.Da: "Jeg hedder Astrid," sagde hun med et stille smil.En: "My name is Astrid," she said with a gentle smile.Da: "Jeg tror, jeg kan hjælpe jer."En: "I think I can help you."Da: Lars tøvede.En: Lars hesitated.Da: Mikkel derimod virkede allerede betaget af Astrids tilstedeværelse.En: Mikkel, on the other hand, seemed already captivated by Astrid's presence.Da: Hendes øjne glimtede, som om hun kendte hver en hemmelighed i haven.En: Her eyes sparkled as if she knew every secret in the garden.Da: "Hvordan kan vi vide, at vi kan stole på dig?"En: "How do we know we can trust you?"Da: spurgte Lars forsigtigt.En: asked Lars cautiously.Da: Astrid lo blidt.En: Astrid laughed softly.Da: "Det kan I ikke, men jeg ved, hvad brevet betyder," svarede hun og pegede mod et skilt skjult blandt buskene.En: "You can't, but I know what the letter means," she replied, pointing to a sign hidden among the bushes.Da: "Dette er det første rigtige spor."En: "This is the first real clue."Da: Modvilligt besluttede Lars at følge Astrid, og de tre gik sammen videre.En: Reluctantly, Lars decided to follow Astrid, and the three of them continued together.Da: Under en lille bro og forbi en række skinnende julepynt fandt de endnu et symbol, som svarede til dem i brevet.En: Under a small bridge and past an array of shimmering Christmas decorations, they found another symbol that matched those in the letter.Da: Det var en pil, som pegede mod en hemmelig dør, nær de mere stille dele af haven.En: It was an arrow pointing towards a secret door near the quieter parts of the garden.Da: "Skattekammeret venter herinde," sagde Astrid med en luft af mystik.En: "The treasure chamber awaits in here," said Astrid with an air of mystery.Da: De åbnede forsigtigt døren og trådte ind i en lille gang, skjult for parkens normale gæster.En: They carefully opened the door and stepped into a small corridor, hidden from the park's regular visitors.Da: Herinde opdagede de et rum fyldt med gamle billeder og genstande fra Tivolis grundlæggelse.En: Inside, they discovered a room filled with old photos and items from Tivoli's founding.Da: "Det er ikke en traditionel skat," bemærkede Lars, mens han betragtede de historiske artefakter.En: "It's not a traditional treasure," noted Lars, as he gazed at the historical artifacts.Da: Mikkel stirrede med stjerner i øjnene på en gammel model af parken.En: Mikkel stared, starry-eyed, at an old model of the park.Da: Astrid så på dem med et tilfreds smil.En: Astrid looked at them with a satisfied smile.Da: "Jeg ville dele dette med nogen, der forstod værdien af historie," forklarede Astrid.En: "I wanted to share this with someone who understood the value of history," explained Astrid.Da: "Jeg har forsket i Tivolis historie, og I har hjulpet mig med at opdage mere."En: "I've been researching Tivoli's history, and you've helped me discover more."Da: Lars følte en varme sprede sig i brystet, en ny forståelse for eventyr og den bånd, han nu delte med Mikkel.En: Lars felt a warmth spreading in his chest, a new understanding of adventure and the bond he now shared with Mikkel.Da: Skønt de ikke fandt den rigdom, de ventede, havde de fundet noget mere betydningsfuldt.En: Although they hadn't found the wealth they expected, they had found something more meaningful.Da: Som de gik tilbage til lysene og lydene fra Tivolis hjerte, blev Lars taknemmelig for dagen.En: As they returned to the lights and sounds at the heart of Tivoli, Lars felt grateful for the day.Da: Han havde taget et skridt ud af sin komfortzone og fundet både en ny ven og en ny forståelse af venskabets betydning.En: He had taken a step out of his comfort zone and found both a new friend and a new understanding of the value of friendship.Da: Astrid, nu en del af deres gruppe, smilede, mens de drak varm kakao og nød synet af haven, der pulserede af liv i det tilstundende julelys.En: Astrid, now a part of their group, smiled as they drank hot cocoa and enjoyed the sight of the garden, pulsing with life in the approaching Christmas lights.

Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey and special guest, Sonja Kostich In this episode of Dance Talk, host Joanne Carey chats with Sonja Kostich, the president and executive director of Baryshnikov Arts. Sonia shares her inspiring journey from her early years in dance, through her transition from a professional dancer to a career in finance, and ultimately to her current role in arts administration. The conversation highlights the importance of collaboration in the arts, the challenges of career transitions, and the innovative programming at Baryshnikov Arts that supports artists in their creative processes. Sonia emphasizes the value of taking risks and stepping outside of one's comfort zone to discover new opportunities in life and art.  Sonja Kostich brings with her both the knowledge and experience of having been a professional dancer for over two decades as well as significant business acumen derived from her business education and time working at Goldman Sachs. Through a unique and successful professional trajectory, she now merges her artistic and business experience as an arts leader. Ms. Kostich was hired by Mikhail Baryshnikov at the age of 17 to join American Ballet Theatre from The School of Classical Ballet, the training school for ABT created by Mr. Baryshnikov, consisting of only seven female students and five male students. She later danced with the San Francisco Ballet and the Zurich Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov's White Oak Dance Project, and in multiple collaborations with opera/theater director Peter Sellars, before co-founding OtherShore, which she co-directed for six years. Her experience in ballet, contemporary, and modern dance resulted in a diverse international career that spanned across artistic disciplines.Upon retiring from dancing, Ms. Kostich returned to school, obtaining a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting and Business Communication from Zicklin School of Business, CUNY Baruch College, where she graduated Salutatorian at the age of 42. Following, she began a full-time position at Goldman Sachs in the Finance Division with a focus on regulatory capital requirements. Simultaneously she obtained an MA in Arts Administration, eventually returning to the dance world, first as the finance manager at Mark Morris Dance Group and then as program manager at New York City Center. From 2018 to 2022, she served as the Chief Executive and Artistic Officer at Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, a 153-acre artist sanctuary located in Tivoli, NY, where she led the successful rebrand and revitalization of the 30+ year organization, bringing it to award-winning status for its significant artistic and economic contributions to the Hudson Valley. In October 2022, Ms. Kostich joined Baryshnikov Arts as its new Executive Director. As a female Korean American, born in Seoul, Korea, and raised in Minnesota, her history, both personal and professional, lends itself to cultivating and supporting new perspectives as Baryshnikov Arts expands its capacity to create multi-platform and collaborative havens for artistic expression, innovation and freedom and especially as we commit further to elevating and sharing the stories of artists of diverse cultures and histories.
