Strata 16 miliónov za dva roky. To je výsledok vládnej stratégie namierenej voči mimovládnemu sektoru. Nepodarilo sa to cez snahy stigmatizovať mimovládky ako cudzích agentov, tak to vláda skúša cez úradnú šikanu a finančné púšťanie žilou. Bude to bolieť, ale bude to bolieť občanov - a to aj ich voličov, odkazujú zástupcovia Tretieho sektora Lucia Szabová a Filip Vagač. Slovenský neziskový sektor čelil v rokoch 2024 a 2025 bezprecedentnému finančnému tlaku, ktorý odborníci nazývajú cieleným ‚defundingom‘. Analýza Platformy pre demokraciu ako i Nadácie otvorenej spoločnosti preukázala, že kritické organizácie mimovládneho sektora prišli o viac ako 16 miliónov eur a to v dôsledku rušenia výziev, neochote spolufinancovať eurofondové projekty či politizácie odborných komisií. Celý tento proces pritom prebieha na pozadí otvorene kritickej rétoriky Roberta Fica, ktorý o mimovládkach vyhlásil: ‚Éra, kedy v tejto krajine vládli mimovládne organizácie, sa skončila.‘ Dá sa v tom celom ešte nevidieť jasný boj štátu - a najmä jeho aktuálnej vlády, voči občianskej spoločnosti a fakticky celému mimovládnemu sektoru a aktívnym občanom?Je toto koniec partnerstva štátu s občianskym sektorom? Aké konkrétne podoby má vládna snaha obmedziť mimovládky a aké preukazateľné dosahy bude mať táto snaha finančne vyhladovať neziskový sektor na nás, bežných občanov - či už v segmente sociálnych služieb alebo v oblasti vzdelávania detí či životného prostredia?Škodia nám, ale škodia najmä Slovensku, jeho občanom a v konečnom dôsledku škodia i sami sebe. Ich voliči ten úpadok služieb štátu pocítia, hovorí programový riaditeľ Platformy pre demokraciu Filip Vagač. Podľa neho chce Robert Fico občiansku spoločnosť rozložiť a umŕtviť. Toto sa nepodarilo ani komunistom, ale bude to na nás - občanoch, aby sme si zvolili, v akej spoločnosti chceme ďalej žiť, dodáva Vagač.Ráno Nahlas, dnes so zástupcami Tretieho sektora Luciou Szabovou a Filipom Vagačom. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

„Kdykoli USA jednají rozhodně, světoví zločinci slábnou. Toto pochopení musí dojít i k Rusům,“ řekl ukrajinský prezident Volodymyr Zelenskyj ke konfliktu na Blízkém východě. Americko-izraelské údery na Írán podporuje, protože považuje íránský režim za spojence Ruska. A uvedl, že Kyjev je připraven vyslat své specialisty na obranu proti dronům. „Zelenskyj teď vyvine velké úsilí, aby Ukrajina nesešla z očí,“ vysvětluje v Osobnosti Plus historik a ukrajinista David Svoboda.

Je to nástroj svobody.V této epizodě mluvíme s filozofkou Terezou Matějčkovou o tom, proč skutečné myšlení vždy narušuje pohodlí, proč empatie bez nesouhlasu vede k stagnaci a proč odvaha myslet znamená přijmout i vlastní nedostatečnost.Filozofie podle ní není o odpovědích, ale o otázkách, které rozrušují naše jistoty. Je to schopnost ustát selhání, unést samotu a zpochybnit i vlastní kulturu, která nás formovala. V době přecitlivělosti, digitálního tlaku a strachu z ostrakizace je to radikálnější než kdy dřív.Tohle není epizoda o teorii. Je o tom, jak si uchovat vnitřní život, autenticitu a svobodu a to v čase, který miluje rychlé soudy a nenávidí nepohodlné otázky.A je to tady!

For this episode we welcome former Q/Kerrang! editor-in-chief Paul Rees to RBP Towers to discuss his riveting new book Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola. An oral history of AOR (or Album-Oriented Rock), Raised on Radio gives us an eagerly-awaited chance to enthuse about an oft-maligned genre we all happen to adore. The conversation takes in most of AOR's major practitioners, from Kansas and Toto to Journey and Survivor, and incorporates clips from John Tobler's 1979 audio interview with Tom Scholz and Brad Delp of Boston. After we've exhausted these guilty-till-proved-innocent pleasures, Mark quotes from newly-added library pieces about Siouxsie & the Banshees (1982) and Chic's Bernard Edwards (1987), then Jasper talks us out with his reflections on archive interviews with George Clinton (1997) and Brutalist composer Daniel Blumberg (2025). Many thanks to special guest Paul Rees. Raised on Radio is published by Constable and available now from all good bookshops. Pieces discussed: More Than a Feeling: The 20 Greatest AOR Tracks of All Time!, American revolution: Aerosmith, Boston, Kansas and co., Hard Pop, Suburban Rock, Hall & Oates: Blue-Eyed Philadelphia Soul, The Buzz On Boz Scaggs, Nirvana: Smells like Success, Boston (1979), Heart, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Bernard Edwards, George Clinton: Funkamental and The Brutalist's score.

Čína vám vie zmeniť biznis, ale môže vás aj položiť. Stačí zlé CE, jeden zásah inšpekcie a sklad plný tovaru je zrazu problém za desaťtisíce. Prečo sa oplatí prestať prekupovať a začať vyrábať, prečo má značka väčšiu hodnotu než lacný kontajner z Poľska a čo sa stane, keď sa dovoz z Ázie zo dňa na deň zastaví? Toto nie je romantika o Alibabe. Toto je tvrdá realita importu, ciel, patentov a politiky. Viac informácií nám poskytol Michal Malík, CEO Invelt.
Ján 11,1-16 1 Bol chorý istý Lazár z Betánie, z dediny Márie a jej sestry Marty. 2 Bola to tá Mária, ktorá natrela Pána voňavou masťou a poutierala mu nohy svojimi vlasmi. Jej brat Lazár bol chorý. 3 Sestry teda poslali Ježišovi odkaz: „Pane, ten, ktorého máš rád, je chorý.“ 4 Keď to Ježiš počul, povedal: „Táto choroba nie je na smrť, ale na Božiu slávu, aby ňou bol oslávený Boží Syn.“ 5 Ježiš mal rád Martu, jej sestru i Lazára. 6 Keď teda počul, že Lazár je chorý, zostal na mieste, kde bol, ešte dva dni. 7 Potom povedal učeníkom: „Poďme znova do Judska!“ 8 Učeníci mu povedali: „Rabbi, teraz ťa chceli Židia kameňovať, a zasa ta ideš?“ 9 Ježiš odpovedal: „Či nemá deň dvanásť hodín? Kto chodí vo dne, nepotkýna sa, pretože vidí svetlo tohto sveta. 10 Ale ak niekto chodí v noci, potkýna sa, lebo v nej nieto svetla.“ 11 Toto povedal a ešte dodal: „Náš priateľ Lazár zaspal, no ja ho idem zobudiť.“ 12 Učeníci mu povedali: „Pane, ak zaspal, ozdravie.“ 13 Ježiš však hovoril o jeho smrti, a oni si mysleli, že hovorí o obyčajnom spánku. 14 Vtedy im Ježiš otvorene povedal: „Lazár zomrel. 15 Pre vás sa radujem, že som tam nebol, aby ste uverili. No poďme k nemu!“ 16 Tu povedal Tomáš, nazývaný Didymos, ostatným učeníkom: „Poďme teda aj my, aby sme zomreli s ním!“ Ježiš nás miluje. V núdzi sa človek vždy spontánne obracia na Boha, lebo „v núdzi poznáš priateľa“. Aj Mária a Marta odkázali Ježišovi: „Ten, ktorého miluješ, je chorý“ a Ježiš reaguje podobne: „Náš priateľ Lazár spí, ale idem ho zobudiť“. Ježiš zostáva pokojný, nielen chorobou, ale dokonca aj smrťou možno osláviť Boha. Takéto ponímanie udalostí si však vyžaduje vieru: „Nepovedal som ti, že ak uveríš, uvidíš Božiu slávu?“ Zmyslom choroby je posilniť vieru v nás: „aby ste verili“. Ježiš povedal učeníkom, že sa kvôli nim raduje, že nešiel hneď a Lazár zomrel. Nemyslí to tak, že je rád, že Lazár zomrel. Nie, On povie: „Som rád, že som tam nebol, lebo Božia moc teraz môže byť lepšie odhalená, Boh bude oslávený a viera posilnená“. Zdalo sa to kruté, ale Boh mal ešte vznešenejší zámer. – – Aj my si často kladieme otázku, či nás Pán zachráni od bolesti a smrti. Chceli by sme, aby to urobil hneď, a keď to tak nie je, sme sklamaní a často sa od Ježiša vzďaľujeme. Naša viera slabne. No Pán Ježiš na nás nezabudol tak, ako nezabudol ani na Lazára. On vie, kedy a akým spôsobom zasiahnuť. Sú otázky, na ktoré nedostaneme odpoveď hneď, a nezostáva nám nič iné, len v hlbokej viere čakať a dôverovať Ježišovej láske k nám a hľadať odpovede v Božom slove, v Písme. Modlitba: Pane Ježišu, ďakujeme Ti za Tvoju lásku k nám a za starostlivosť. Ty najlepšie vieš, kedy a čo potrebujeme. Pomôž nám spoliehať sa na Teba a veriť, že Ty máš s nami ten najlepší plán. Amen. Pieseň: ES 676 Autor: Július Lalík Všetky končiny zeme sa rozpomenú a vrátia sa k Hospodinovi. Žalm 22,28 Hovorím vám, že mnohí prídu od východu i západu a budú stolovať s Abrahámom, Izákom a Jákobom v nebeskom kráľovstve. Matúš 8,11 Galaťanom 6,(11-13)14-18 • Modlíme sa za: Mengusovce (TaS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes verím Ježišovej láske, keď zostáva dva dni čakať, aby moja viera mohla vidieť väčšiu Božiu slávu? Čo pre mňa znamená dôverovať, že aj zdanlivé kruté rozhodnutia Pána majú vznešenejší zámer posilnenia viery? Ako môžem dnes s Tomášom povedať „Poďme zomrieť s Ním!“, keď čelím nebezpečenstvu viery v Judsku?

Paul Rees was a young lad living in Scotland during the heyday of Album Oriented Rock (AOR). From a distance, Paul became a fan of American radio and the artists played on those stations, which led him to write the book Raised On Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola – the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986. It's an oral history of the golden era of critically derided, yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and others ruled the airwaves.

The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum单词提示1.mended 修补原文Chapter Four: The Witch and The Monkeys The next morning, they left the Emerald city.The green man took away their glasses and told them the way to the Witch's house.'Everybody is afraid of the Witch of the West,' he said, 'So be careful.'The friends walked for a long time.The road was bad and there were no houses, no fields, no trees.Now the Witch of the West had a magic eye, and it could see everything.She saw the friends on the road, and she was angry.She put on her tall black hat and shouted, 'Monkeys come in a second.'Forty monkeys arrived at her tall house.'What do you want?' they asked.'There are three people, a dog and a lion on my road,' She said, 'Kill the people and the dog, but bring the lion here to my house. He can work for me.''At once,' said the monkeys, and away they went.They broke the Tin Man's arms and legs.They took all the straw out of the Scarecrow and threw his clothes up into a tall tree.Now they took the lion and carried him to a dark cellar under the Witch's house.But they could not hurt Dorothy and Toto because of the good witch's kiss.So the monkeys picked them up very carefully and carried them to the Witch's house.The witch saw the kiss on Dorothy's face and was afraid, but she did not tell Dorothy that.'You must work for me in my house,' She said to the child, 'All day and every day,and remember—— I am watching you all the time.'Now Dorothy did not know this, but the red shoes were magic.The Witch wanted those shoes very much, but Dorothy never took them off.She took them off when she washed, of course.But the Witch never went near water.She was very, very afraid of water.Then one morning, Dorothy's left shoe fell off.The Witch picked up the shoe at once.'This is my shoe now,' She shouted.'No,it isn't,' shouted Dorothy angrily, 'Give it back to me at once.''No.'said the Witch.And then she tried to take Dorothy's right shoe too.Dorothy loved her red shoes, and she was very angry.There was a bucket of water near the door.Dorothy picked up the bucket and threw the water at the Witch.The water hit her in the face, and she cried out, 'Help, help. The water is killing me. The water is…' And then she disappeared. There was only her tall black hat and a long black dress.Dorothy looked and looked, but the witch was not there.Dorothy picked up her red shoe and put it on the,'Now,how can I help my friends?' she said, 'can I call the magic monkeys?'She picked up the Witch's black hat and looked at it.'Perhaps I must wear this magic hat when I speak.'So she put the hat on and called magic monkeys come.The monkeys arrived in a second.'Please can you help my friends?' asked Dorothy.'Of course,' said the monkeys, 'We must always help the wearer of the magic black hat.'They broke open the dark cellar, and the cowardly lion came out.'Free at last!' he said, 'Thank you. 'Then the monkeys found the Scarecrow's clothes and put some new straw in them.The Scarecrow laughed and jumped.'Thank you.' He said.Next the monkeys mended the Tin Man and gave him a new oil can.He moved his arms and legs.'I feel wonderful,' He said, 'thank you.'Dorothy told her friends about the Witch and the water, and they were all very happy.Toto could not speak, but he jumped up and down very happily.'Now,'said Dorothy, 'We must go back to the Wizard of Oz. Magic monkeys, take us to the Emerald city.''Don't forget the magic black hat,' said the tin man.The monkeys Carried them up into the sky, and ten minutes later, the friends were once again at the big green door of the Emerald city.翻译第四章:女巫与猴子们第二天早上,他们离开了翡翠城。那个绿人拿走了他们的眼镜,并告诉他们去女巫家的路线。“大家都害怕西边的女巫,”他说,“所以要小心点。”朋友们走了很长一段路。道路状况很差,没有房屋,没有田地,也没有树木。现在女巫有一个魔法眼睛,能看穿一切。她看到了路上的朋友们,非常生气。她戴上她那顶高高的黑色帽子,喊道:“猴子们马上进来。”四十只猴子来到了她那高大的房子前。“你想要什么?”他们问道。“在我的路上有三个人、一只狗和一头狮子,”她说,“杀了这些人和狗,但把狮子带到我的房子里来。它可以为我工作。”“马上行动,”猴子们说,然后就走了。他们弄断了铁皮人的胳膊和腿。他们把稻草从稻草人身上拿走,把他的衣服扔到一棵高高的树上。现在他们把狮子带到了女巫房子下面的一个黑暗的地窖里。但由于善良女巫的吻,他们无法伤害多萝西和托托。所以猴子们小心翼翼地把他们抓起来,带到了女巫的房子里。女巫看到了多萝西脸上的吻,心里很害怕,但她没有告诉多萝西这件事。“你必须到我家里来干活,”她对这个孩子说,“全天每时每刻都要来,记住——我一直在看着你。”多萝西并不知道这一点,但那双红色的鞋子具有魔力。女巫非常想要那双鞋子,但多萝西从未脱下它们。当然,她洗脚的时候会脱下它们。但女巫从不靠近水。她对水非常非常害怕。然后有一天早上,多萝西的左鞋掉了下来。女巫立刻捡起了那双鞋。“现在这是我的鞋子了,”她大喊道。“不,这不是,”多萝西生气地喊道,“马上把它还给我。”“不。”女巫说。然后她试图拿走多萝西的右鞋。多萝西爱她的那双红色鞋子,她非常生气。门边有一个水桶。多萝西拿起水桶,把水泼向女巫。水溅到了她的脸上,她大喊道:“救命,救命。水会要了我的命。水……”然后她消失了,只剩下她那顶高高的黑色帽子和一条长长的黑色裙子。多萝西看了又看,但女巫不在那里。多萝西捡起她的红色鞋子,把它穿上了。“现在,我该如何帮助我的朋友们呢?”她说道,“我可以召唤那些魔法猴子吗?”她拿起女巫的黑色帽子,仔细端详起来。“或许我必须在说话时戴上这顶魔法帽子才行。”于是她戴上帽子,召唤了魔法猴子们前来。猴子们瞬间就到了。“请你们能帮帮我的朋友们吧?”多萝西问道。“当然可以,”猴子们说道,“我们必须永远帮助佩戴这顶魔法黑帽子的人。”他们打开了黑暗的地下室,胆小的狮子走了出来。“终于自由了!”他说,“谢谢。”然后猴子们找到了稻草人穿的衣服,并在里面加了些新的稻草。稻草人笑了,跳了起来。“谢谢。”他说。接下来,猴子们修理了铁皮人,并给他配了一个新的油罐。他动了动胳膊和腿。“我感觉好极了,”他说,“谢谢。”多萝西把女巫和水的事告诉了她的朋友们,他们都非常高兴。托托不能说话,但他高兴地跳来跳去。“现在,”多萝西说,“我们必须回到奥兹巫师那里。神奇的猴子们,带我们去翡翠城吧。”“别忘了那顶神奇的黑色帽子,”铁皮人说。猴子们把他们送上了天空,十分钟后,朋友们又回到了翡翠城那扇巨大的绿色门前。
Toto have released 14 albums since they were formed in 1977. They have played around the world and are known for massive hits like "Hold The Line", "Rosanna" and of course "Africa". Joe Williams joined the group in 1986 and they had more hits like "Pamela." Toto are heading out on tour this spring and will be in St. Augustine on 3/2. Joe Williams was nice enough to stop by the show before their tour! During the interview Joe and Doc talk about his 40th anniversary with the band, meeting Steve Lukather for the first time, auditioning for Toto, keeping his voice in shape for current tours, playing the hits like Africa, and much much more. Meanwhile on the rest of the show Mike tells the world he likes Walmart Chicken Fingers more than any other chicken finger on the planet. AND he didn't know George Harrison passed away 25 years ago.

Today on The Rizzuto Show, the crew dives into one of the wildest entertainment moments of 2026 — the BAFTA Awards controversy involving a Tourette's documentary subject that has the internet divided. Intent vs. impact. Medical reality vs. public reaction. It's thoughtful, uncomfortable, and yes… still somehow a little chaotic because this is a comedy show.Then we spiral (naturally) into a full-blown Rock & Roll Hall of Fame argument. Toto. Huey Lewis. Kenny Loggins. Weird Al. Blink-182. Is the Rock Hall broken? Probably. Are we qualified to fix it? Absolutely not. Will that stop us? Never. Add in Bill Hader's new horror movie, Tom Hanks playing Lincoln, wild celebrity funeral facts, and Moon explaining why listening to podcasts at 1.8x speed makes him feel intellectually superior — and you've got peak Rizz Show energy.If you love funny podcast chaos, pop culture commentary, and sarcastic debates that feel like a group chat with microphones, welcome home.Subscribe for more daily comedy and St. Louis morning show madness.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Verdens største toiletproducent er pludselig blevet en AI-aktie. Ja, Toto. Keramik, wafers og chipproduktion. Når markedet begynder at pitche toiletter som AI-infrastruktur, ved man, at hypen måske er skyllet lidt for langt ud. Samtidig siger 90% af 6.000 CEOs, at AI ikke har haft nogen målbar effekt på produktiviteten. Nul. Andrew Yang siger til gengæld, at millioner af white-collar jobs ryger inden for 12-18 måneder. AI virker ikke – men den fyrer dig måske alligevel. OpenAI har fjernet en populær stemme i deres chatbot, og brugere reagerer som om de har mistet et kæledyr. 64% forventer alvorlig påvirkning af deres mentale helbred. Det er åbenbart ikke bare software længere. Meta har fået patent på AI, der kan poste på dine sociale medier efter du er død. Din digitale persona fortsætter. Engagement stopper ikke, bare fordi du gør. Og hvis det ikke var nok, så vil Amazons Ring have naboer til at koble kameraer sammen for at “nulstille kriminalitet”, mens en dommer forbyder Metas egne smart glasses i retten, og Microsoft indrømmer, at Copilot læste fortrolige emails. AI virker måske ikke. Men den virker overalt.
Live With Danny Kortchmar - Don Henley, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt Kootch tells the story of how his and Don Henley's monster hit, Dirty Laundry was born, how his and Jackson Browne's, Somebody's Baby was birthed, and how Running On Empty was recorded Live. This legendary guitar hero, songwriter, and producer, who's been integral to more hits with more iconic artists than just about anyone I can think of, shared about all of them… James (or Jamie as he calls him), Taylor, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, the aforementioned Don Henley, and Jackson Browne. Kootch talked about his first producing gig - Louise Goffin, and the killer band he put together for her, which included Steve Lukather and Kenny Aaronoff, saying he learned from observing Peter Asher, who produced so many of the albums Kootch played on. He talked about producing Jon Bon Jovi, Toto, and Billy Joel, and the controversy that surrounded that gig. We got a few of his favorite memories through the years, and his shattering heartbreak, losing Lisa Roy, the love of his life, the sad for fans, and the boys themselves, seeming end of his dream band, The Immediate Family, both leading to his leaving LA and relocating to Rhode Island to be near his blood family. We got the hows and whys with little hope of resurrection. We also got his newfound joy playing with his new band, The Back Burners, whom I can't wait to hear. The band features frontman Rocco DeRosa, Marty Ballou on bass, Vinny Pagano on drums, and Joel Latulippe on harmonica. A departure for Danny, it's groove-driven soul and blues. Playing small clubs in the thriving local music scene and preparing to record, Kootch is feeling at home with his new band and his new digs. I've been blessed to know Kootch for some years. Thanks to Steve Postell, Danny played at my book launch for Don't Jump almost a decade ago. He was a pretty serious man of few words for most of the time I knew him. Thanks to Lisa and the bliss of banding with Leland Sklar, Russ Kunkle, his fellow mates of The Section, 50 or so years in the playing, and Waddy Wachtel, whom he's gigged with for almost as long, as well as Steve Postell, with whom he's done innumerable projects in more recent years, and appearing in the Denny Tedesco award-winning documentary about them, Kootch was lighter, brighter, and happier than I'd seen him. I hope this move eases recent losses and brings creative and personal fulfillment. I also hold hope that we'll see Kootch, Lee, Russ, Waddy, and Steve reunited, someday in some way. Danny, thanks for your enormous contribution to the soundtrack of my youth. Danny Kortchmar Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wed, February 18th, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET Streamed Live on my FB, YouTube & LinkedIn
What did Dorene like most about last night's TOTO show?
The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum原文Chapter Three: The Emerald City It was a long day.The yellow brick road went past fields and through trees,up hills and down hills.In the evening, they began to see small green houses.By sometimes, little people in green clothes came out and looked at the friends,but they did not come near them because they were afraid of the cowardly lion.'Everything here is green. Perhaps we're near the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'Toto and I are hungry. Let's stop at the next house.'A little woman opened the door.And Dorothy said, 'please can we stay the night in your house?'The little woman looked at the lion.And Dorothy said quickly, 'The lion is my friend and he never hurts anybody.''All right? ' the little woman said, 'You can all come in.'She put a wonderful dinner on the table.Dorothy and Toto ate a lot of it, and the lion ate some of it.But the Scarecrow and the Tin Man ate nothing.'Where are you all going?' asked the little woman.'To the Emerald city,' said Dorothy, 'We want to see the Wizard of Oz.''That'snot easy,' said the woman, 'The wizard never goes out of his house and nobody sees his face.''Is the wizard a man?' asked the Scarecrow.'Nobody knows,' said the woman, 'He is a wizard, so he can be a man or an animal or anything.''How strange!' said Dorothy, 'But we need his help, so we must see him.'The next day, they thanked the woman, left the house and began walking again.Soon they saw a beautiful city in front of them.It was the Emerald city.At last, the friends went up the yellow brick road to a big green door and stopped slowly.The door opened and a little man in green clothes stood there.'We want to see the wizard, please,' said Dorothy.'Nobody sees the wizard,' he said, 'He is a very good and very famous wizard, but nobody can see him.''We must see him,' said Dorothy, 'Please ask him!''All right,' said the green man, 'I can take you to his house, but first you must all put glasses on.'He opened a big box. In it were lots of glasses.'You must wear your glasses all the time,' he said, 'Everybody in the city must wear glasses. The Wizard says this.'So they all put on glasses.The green man put on some glasses too.And then he took them through the Emerald city.Everything in the city was green—— men, women, children, houses, shops, streets. The green man took them to a very big house, and they went into a long green room.'Wait here,' he said.After a short time, he came back.'You can see the Wizard,' he said, 'But you must go to him one by one. He wants to see the little girl first.'Then he went away and a green girl came in.She took Dorothy to a tall green door.'The Wizard is in there,' said the Green girl, 'He's waiting for you.'Dorothy went in.On a green chair was a very, very big head.There was no body, or arms, or legs—— only a head. Its mouth opened and the head said, 'I am Oz,who are you and what do you want?''I am Dorothy,' said the child bravely.'Where did you get those red shoes from?''The bad Witch of the East,' said Dorothy, 'My house fell on her and killed her.''What is that thing on your face?''A kiss. The good Witch of the North kissed me,' said Dorothy, 'I need help and she told me about you.'And what do you want?''I want to go home to Kansas,' answered Dorothy, 'But I don't know the way. Please help me to get home.The big eyes opened and closed, opened and closed.Then the mouth opened and the head spoke again.'Well,'it said, 'Perhaps I can help you, but first you must do something for me.''What do you want me to do?' asked Dorothy.'Kill the bad Witch of the West.''But I don't want to kill anybody,' said Dorothy.'You killed her sister and you are wearing her shoes. Go now and kill the Witch of the West.'The little girl began to cry.'But how can I kill the witch?' She said.The big eyes opened and looked at her, but the head did not answer.Dorothy went away, and then her friends went into the Wizard's room.First the Scarecrow, then the Tin Man, and last the Lion.Later,they all met in the long green room and talked.Dorothy told her friends about the head.'That's interesting,' said the Scarecrow, 'I didn't see a head. I saw a beautiful woman. I asked her for some brains and she said, “yes, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the Witch of the West.”''I saw a big animal with two heads,' said the Tin Man, 'I asked for a heart. The animal said, “I can give you a heart, but first you must help Dorothy to kill the witch of the west.” What did you see? Lion.''Oh,I saw a ball of fire.' said the cowardly lion. 'I said, “I am a coward, please make me brave.” And the fire said, “When the Witch of the West is dead, I can help you. But not before.”''I was angry then,' said the lion, 'But the ball of fire got bigger and bigger, so I ran away.''Oh,what are we going to do?' said Dorothy.'Well,'said the scarecrow, 'we must find the Witch of the West, and then we must kill her.'翻译第三章:翡翠城这一天过得十分漫长。黄色的砖路穿过田野,穿过树林,爬上山坡,又滑下山坡。傍晚时分,他们开始看到一些小小的绿色房屋。不一会儿,穿着绿色衣服的小个子人们走了出来,打量着朋友们,但他们没有靠近他们,因为他们害怕那只胆小的狮子。“这里的一切都是绿色的。也许我们离翡翠城不远了。”多萝西说,“我和托托饿了。咱们去下一家房子歇歇吧。”一个矮小的女人开了门。多萝西说:“请让我们在您家过夜好吗?”那个矮小的女人看了看狮子。多萝西急忙说道:“狮子是我的朋友,他从不伤害任何人。”“行吗?”那个矮小的女人说,“你们都可以进来。”她把一顿丰盛的晚餐放在了桌上。多萝西和托托吃了很多,狮子也吃了一些。但稻草人和铁皮人什么也没吃。“你们要去哪儿?”那个矮小的女人问道。“去翡翠城。”多萝西说,“我们想去见奥兹巫师。”“那可不容易。”那个女人说,“巫师从不走出他的房子,也没人能看到他的脸。”“巫师是个男人吗?”稻草人问道。“没人知道,”那位女士说道,“他是位巫师,所以他可以变成人、动物或者任何东西。”“这太奇怪了!”多萝西说道,“但我们需要他的帮助,所以我们必须见见他。”第二天,他们向那位女士道谢,离开了房子,再次踏上了前行的路。很快,他们就看到一座美丽的城市出现在眼前。那就是翡翠城。最后,朋友们沿着黄色的砖路走向一座巨大的绿色大门,缓缓停下。门开了,一个穿着绿色衣服的小个子男人站在那里。“我们想见见那位巫师,请问可以吗?”多萝西说道。“没人能见到那位巫师,”他说道,“他是位非常出色且非常有名的巫师,但没人能见到他。”“我们必须见见他,”多萝西说道,“请让他带我们去吧!”“好吧,”那个绿衣人说道,“我可以带你们去他家,但首先你们所有人都必须戴上眼镜。”他打开一个大箱子。里面有许多副眼镜。“你们必须一直戴着眼镜,”他说,“城里所有人都必须戴眼镜。巫师这么说的。”于是他们都戴上了眼镜。那个绿衣人也戴上了眼镜。然后他带着他们穿过了翡翠城。城里的所有事物都是绿色的——男人、女人、孩子、房屋、商店、街道。那个绿人带他们来到一座非常大的房子前,然后他们走进了一个长长的绿色房间。“在这儿等着吧。”他说。过了一会儿,他回来了。“你可以见到巫师了,”他说,“但你们必须一个一个地去见他。他想先见到那个小女孩。”然后他离开了,一个绿衣女孩走了进来。她带着多萝西来到一扇高高的绿色门前。“巫师在里面,”绿衣女孩说,“他在等你。”多萝西走了进去。在一张绿色的椅子上有一个非常非常大的脑袋。没有身体、胳膊或腿——只有一个脑袋。它的嘴巴张开,脑袋说道:“我是奥兹,你是谁?想要什么?”“我是多萝西,”孩子勇敢地说。“你从哪儿得到那些红色鞋子的?”“东方的恶女巫,”多萝西说,“我的房子压倒了她并杀了她。”“你脸上的那个东西是什么?”“一个吻。北方的好女巫亲了我,”多萝西说,“我需要帮助,她告诉了我关于你的消息。”“那你想要什么?”“我想回堪萨斯去,”多萝西回答,“但我不知道路。请帮我回家吧。”那双大眼睛睁了又闭,闭了又开。然后嘴巴张开,脑袋再次说话了。“好吧,”它说道,“或许我能帮到你,但首先你得为我做一件事。”“你想要我做什么?”多萝西问道。“杀死西边的那个邪恶女巫。”“但我不想杀任何人啊。”多萝西说道。“你杀了她姐姐,而且你还穿着她的鞋子。现在赶紧去杀死西边的那个女巫吧。”小女孩开始哭泣起来。“但我怎么才能杀死那个女巫呢?”她说。那双大眼睛睁开了,看向她,但脑袋却没有回应。多萝西离开了,随后她的朋友们走进了巫师的房间。先是稻草人,然后是铁皮人,最后是狮子。后来,他们都来到了那间长长的绿色房间里交谈。多萝西向她的朋友们讲述了那个脑袋的事。“那很有趣,”稻草人说,“我没有看到一个脑袋。我看到的是一位美丽的女子。我向她要了一些头脑,她说:‘可以,但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'”“我看到一只有两只脑袋的大型动物,”铁皮人说,“我想要一颗心。那只动物说:‘我可以给你一颗心,但首先你必须帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫。'你看到了什么?狮子。”“哦,我看到一个火球。”胆小的狮子说,“我说:‘我是个胆小鬼,请让我勇敢起来。'然后那火球说:‘等西方女巫死了之后,我可以帮助你。但在此之前不行。'”“我当时很生气,”狮子说,“但那个火球变得越来越大,所以我跑开了。”“哦,我们该怎么办?”多萝西说。“嗯,”稻草人说,“我们必须找到西方女巫,然后我们必须杀死她。”

Na Slovensku je nedostatok bytov, čo tlačí ich cenu nahor. Metropolitný inštitút v Bratislave uvádza, že 40 % všetkých novostavieb je v kategórii luxusných bytov, kde priemerná cena za meter štvorcový je 5 000 eur. Podľa analýzy denníka Sme bolo dokonca viac než 50 % voľných bytov v novostavbách v Bratislave v polovici roka 2025 s cenou až 6 000 eur za meter štvorcový. Podľa Mojmíra Plavca z Realitnej únie Slovenska sú vysoké ceny spôsobené aj slabou bytovou výstavbou. Brzdí ju najmä zdĺhavý povoľovací proces. "Novela stavebného zákona vytvorila dobrý základ, aby sa to urýchlilo, ale sme len na začiatku. Úplne zmeniť takýto komplikovaný proces a vidieť výsledky môže trvať päť až desať rokov," dodáva Plavec. Situáciu s dostupnosťou bývania komplikujú aj neobývané byty. Podľa sčítania obyvateľstva z roku 2021 ich môže byť na Slovensku až 300-tisíc. Toto číslo nie je podľa realitného experta úplne presné, pretože nemalo dobrú metodiku. "Inak to robil Metropolitný inštitút Bratislavy, ktorý vypočítal, že v hlavnom meste je neobývaných 13 - 15 tisíc neobývaných bytov. Je to veľká škoda, pretože tisíce bytov nám zároveň chýbajú." Mnoho ľudí kupuje nehnuteľnosti ako investíciu, ktorá sa dobre zhodnotí. Podľa údajov Národnej banky Slovenska priemerná cena nehnuteľností na bývanie medzi rokmi 2021 až 2024 vzrástla o 19,5 %, pričom len za prvé dva kvartály roku 2025 narástla o ďalších 11,08 %. Podľa M. Plavca sú vyhliadky na ďalší rast do budúcnosti pozitívne, ale úplne spoľahnúť sa na to nedá: "Je predpoklad, že cena nehnuteľností na Slovensku bude aj naďalej rásť. Samozrejme, nikdy sa nedá vylúčiť, že príde nejaká čierna labuť, ale predpokladáme rast na úrovni 8 - 11 percent medziročne." Pri otázke, kam investovať svoje voľné zdroje, sa ľudia často rozhodujú medzi akciami a nehnuteľnosťami. V oboch prípadoch môžu investori dosiahnuť zaujímavé zhodnotenie, ale každý spôsob má zároveň svoje nevýhody a riziká. Preto základom zostáva diverzifikácia a dôvera. "Z môjho pohľadu by mal človek investovať v tom segmente, kde sa cíti doma a kde tomu aspoň trochu rozumie," dodáva M. Plavec. Rozhovor moderuje Eva Mihočková. V rozhovore sa dozviete: čo spôsobuje nedostupnosť bývania na Slovensku? ako urýchliť bytovú výstavbu na Slovensku ako budú rásť ceny bytov v budúcnosti je lepšie investovať do akcií alebo bytov?

Paul Rees fell in love with AOR when it began with Boston in 1976, the polished, ramped-up hits that were briefly the music of the American heartland. His book ‘Raised On Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine & Payola – the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986' remembers the age when records were launched via car stereos, their eternally appealing sound and the preposterous lives of the people who wrote and played them – Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Asia, REO Speedwagon, Don Henley and Toto among them. “It's happy music,” he points out. “Music that makes you raise a quizzical eyebrow.” In the mix … … the original AOR sound: “Led Zeppelin hard rock with Eagles harmonies and a stratospheric high-tenor voca|” … the absolute power of producers like Mutt Lange (a man raised on radio jingles) … Pat Benatar, the former married bank clerk who wanted to be Robert Plant in a leotard … “AOR stars were all salesmen who talked in quotes” ... the many reasons Don Henley fired people on a whim … Def Leppard's vision of America built on AOR and cowboy movies … “Chicago and the Tubes never played on their records” … “he ended up butterball-naked in a cocaine threesome sting with two disguised police women” … the producer who had his trout pond realigned as he couldn't work looking at a garden that wasn't symmetrical … the story of Toto's Africa: “tape loops strung round chair-backs and a quick flick through a geography book” … “if this record's a hit I'll run naked down Sunset Boulevard”.

„Slušnosť sa ti raz vráti“, hovorí dobrovoľník z Dolného Kubína Tomáš Sklárčik. Reaguje na otázku, prečo riskuje život pre pomoc Ukrajine. „Trikrát obráti každý cent“, hovoria o ňom jeho spolupracovníci. „Aj humanitárna pomoc musí byť racionálna“, hovorí.Toto nie je pomoc, toto je život! – Ukrajinka Nataša takto reaguje na generátor, ktorý prišiel zo Slovenska. Krajina pod Tatrami sa v týchto dňoch mobilizuje zbierkou Teplo pre Ukrajinu. Spomínaný generátor však nepochádza z nej, ide po ďalšej z liniek dobročinnosti, ktoré zo Slovenska smerujú na Putinovou vojnou zasiahnutú Ukrajinu.Stojí za ňou oravský podnikateľ Tomáš Sklárčik a Pomôžme prežiť Ukrajine. Jeho spolupracovníci o ňom hovoria, že „trikrát obráti každý cent, vybaví každú zľavu a racionalizuje nákupy“. Lebo „takto je to potrebné robiť, keď o vojne rozhodujú excelovské tabuľky a obmedzené zdroje“.Sám hovorí, že „vojna nie je film, je to chaos, ktorý vás zastihne nepripravených“.Destinácia Ukrajina je preňho prehnane povedané „denným chlebíkom“.Podcast pripravil Jaroslav Barborák.
Paul Rees' Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986 (De Capo, 2026) is a massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of critically derided yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees' Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of the (at the time) critically derided and yet massively popular AOR (album-oriented rock) bands whose heyday was 1976-1986, when groups like Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, and REO Speedwagon sold many millions of albums, toured stadiums, and whose songs continue to stream in record numbers. Many of them still tour. And sure, they were punching bags for the elitist rock critics more interested in covering punk and new wave, terminally uncool, and never fashionably cutting edge, but their music was, and is, the soundtrack to so many people's lives. Who among music fans (of a certain age) didn't pump their fist to "Don't Stop Believin'" (long before The Sopranos), play air guitar to "More Than a Feeling," bellow along with Toto's "Africa," or have their heart broken to the strains of "Can't Fight This Feeling"? Even better: their tour stories and the tales of making the music are as entertaining and eye-opening as any of the antics from the annals of rock and roll history. Cocaine use was rampant, intra-band fighting was par for the course, and for better or worse, the groups' members lived life to excess. In so many ways, it was these artists' music (they are responsible for the power ballad) and lifestyles that led directly to the soon-to-follow hair metal scene. And in spite of what the critical establishment wrote, it turns out the music has aged . . . rather well! Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin' But A Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and a place that was as big and booming and as unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.

Dennis Atlas has emerged as a vital member of Toto's touring band, and those who have witnessed him perform live have recognized the incredible energy and musicianship he injects into his role as keyboardist and vocalist. His soaring vocal ability has even allowed the band to add songs to their setlist from the Isolation album, where Dennis tackles those lofty Fergie Frederiksen parts. Aside from his gig with Toto, Dennis has been busy working on a new solo album project titled Principle, which is set to be released in May. West Coast AOR fans, get ready, because you're going to love his style and approach to this 11 track album, which also features some very special guest musicians. Here to talk about this new project and his new role touring with Toto is Dennis Atlas.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we delve into the ongoing cultural battle between Hollywood and emerging alternative entertainment industries. Joining us is Christian Toto, a prominent journalist and cultural critic, who shares his insights on the disconnect between Hollywood elites and mainstream America. As we reflect on recent award shows and their political grandstanding, Toto discusses the rise of family-friendly entertainment from new hubs like Nashville and Dallas, and the growing momentum behind independent creators who are challenging the traditional gatekeepers of the industry.Toto highlights how technological advancements and a shift in audience preferences are paving the way for a more diverse and authentic entertainment landscape. We explore the impact of AI on Hollywood, the potential for indie filmmakers to thrive outside the studio system, and the resilience of artists who are successfully bypassing traditional pathways to reach their audiences.Then, we delve into the complex and pressing issue of Sharia law and its implications within the United States. As immigration continues to shape the American landscape, we explore the growing movement in Texas to explicitly ban Sharia law in state code. Joining us is national security expert Frank Gaffney, who sheds light on the alarming rise of Islamic totalitarian ideologies and their potential impact on American freedoms. Gaffney discusses the motivations behind this movement and the role of organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the broader context of national security.We also examine the historical context of Sharia law, contrasting it with the U.S. Constitution, and highlight the ongoing efforts by Texas officials to address this issue head-on. With the potential for a statewide ballot measure to prohibit Sharia law, Gaffney emphasizes the importance of making this a national voting issue in the upcoming elections.Finally, we explore the transformative power of artificial intelligence and its implications for the future of work and the economy. Kirk Offel of Overwatch Mission Critical, shares insights from his recent testimony before Congress, addressing the concerns surrounding AI, data centers, and their environmental impact. He draws parallels between today's AI revolution and historical infrastructure changes, such as the railway system and the electrification of America, emphasizing the need to shift public perception from fear to opportunity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
