On this episode of One Symphony, Devin Patrick Hughes sat down with Peter Drew, a symphonist and jazz composer, to discuss his diverse life journey and his debut symphony, Reminiscence. Drew, born in Europe and later a refugee in the United States, recounted his early musical awakenings. He was first intrigued by the sound of the harmonica his stepbrother gave him. However, his musical trajectory truly shifted when, around the age of eleven, he heard Toscanini conducting Beethoven's Ninth Symphony on the radio. This experience deeply resonated with him, particularly the Ode to Joy, which became the first tune he learned on the harmonica, despite not being able to read music. Although initially captivated by classical music and Beethoven, Drew's path to becoming a composer was far from traditional. He pursued various careers, including working in film distribution, catering, teaching film studies, and being a social studies teacher. Throughout these experiences, music remained a constant presence in his life; he would often "noodle around" on the clarinet. It wasn't until later in life that he began to seriously study music, taking lessons from clarinet players and exploring jazz. He eventually started arranging music and studying composers like Sibelius. When the conversation turned to his symphony, "Reminiscence," Drew emphasized the amalgamation of his varied musical tastes and life experiences. He described his influences as a "mélange" or "stew" ranging from the American Songbook to Carl Orff, Villa-Lobos, Beethoven, Brahms, Artie Shaw, and even global music like Songs of the Auvergne, Tuvan throat singing, and Raga. He explained that his compositional process often begins with a melody he likes, perhaps played on his clarinet. He then develops this initial phrase, ensuring a natural flow between musical ideas without dissonance, remaining within the realm of Romantic Classical music. Hughes inquired about the technical aspects of translating these diverse elements into a cohesive symphony, including orchestration. Drew admitted that while he can conceive melodies, he needed assistance with the intricate instrumentation for a large symphony orchestra. He collaborated with an orchestrator to achieve the desired sonic textures, ensuring that all the instrumental parts complemented each other. Regarding the upcoming performance and recording of Reminiscence by the Boulder Symphony, Drew expressed his hope that listeners would simply "enjoy yourself" and "have fun". He doesn't expect the audience to be intimately familiar with all his diverse musical influences, but rather to connect with the music on an emotional level in the same way he was first drawn to Beethoven. Drew believes that if the music sounds and feels good, it will be enjoyable to listen to. When asked about his late entry into composing a symphony, Drew, who is approaching 90, reflected that all his life experiences, both musical and non-musical, have informed his writing. He feels that composing, rather than performing, is his true strength and passion, representing an accomplishment after a lifetime of diverse pursuits. He finds satisfaction in creating music that others enjoy listening to and playing. When pressed for a favorite movement, Drew chose the third movement for its energy and the way all the musical elements come together. While acknowledging the profound impact of Beethoven on his early musical life, he noted that Reminiscence incorporates a wider range of influences, creating a unique sonic landscape.

Greetings friends~As we be together in this political moment, I wanted to offer some of the dharma teachings and practices that I have been leaning into. One of which is sharing poetry, so first a poem.For When People Ask by Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerI want a word that meansokay and not okay,more than that: a word that meansdevastated and stunned with joy.I want the word that saysI feel it all all at once.The heart is not like a songbirdsinging only one note at a time,more like a Tuvan throat singerable to sing both a droneand simultaneouslytwo or three harmonics high above it—a sound, the Tuvans say,that gives the impressionof wind swirling among rocks.The heart understands swirl,how the churning of opposite feelingsweaves through us like an insistent breezeleads us wordlessly deeper into ourselves,blesses us with paradoxso we might walk more openlyinto this world so rife with devastation,this world so ripe with joy.Honor the wisdom of your body. Our bodies are wise, they feel and respond to the information coming in through our environment. In the single unified field of embodied awareness, all response is welcome. All response is more information.To honor the body's wisdom is to make space to feel what you are feeling, to drop into the body and allow the sensations, feelings and emotions that are present to be experienced and processed through the body's awareness.I want to name that we are experiencing abuse of power on a national level and attempts to undo basic practices of equity and care for folks with already marginalized identities and our earth. This may activate trauma responses or nervous system alerts in our bodies, responses of fear, freeze, rage, fight, anger, grief and overwhelm or feelings and sensations that are hard to feel/name. What practices help you tend to your body and nervous system, to feel and listen to your emotions?Bayo Akomalfe quoting a Yoruba saying says: The times are urgent, slow downMeditation and mindfulness help us presence what we are actually feeling and transmute emotional reactions into wisdom, compassion and right action.This is a process of recognizing what we are telling ourselves, what thoughts, memories and worries are being triggered—and coming back to our direct experience—here— in this living present. The four foundations of mindfulness is one way of touching into the different realms of our experience, they are:Feel your bodyFeel you feelingsBecome aware of mental activity (remember we don't have to believe our thoughts)Rest in Awareness itselfArt, exercise, body movement practices, eating good food, taking in beauty, breathing deeply, being around others with regulated nervous systems like (meditation, yoga, art spaces, therapy, natural world) are other important ways to care for, nourish our bodies.Insight Practice—The dharma teachings remind us that right here, in our present experience, in the imminence of this—there is a refuge that can't be taken away. All the koans point us back here.We ask—who is it that is aware? What is this? Not merely as an existential inquiry, but as a way to remember ourselves back to the truth of who we are.In times of crisis, angst, hopelessness and fear our true nature is right here. Aware, open, deeply grounded, whole.Zen awakening reminds us that we can know this freedom in any situation.Sometimes when things are stripped away, when we are truly facing uncertainty or crisis, we are more available to this level of the teachings—what remains when even your sense of security is called into question?what remains when everything is taken away?Reflection on Impermanence—Hakuin Zenji likened impermanence to a black fire. We don't see it coming, so we are surprised when conditioned things change. Before the Buddha died he reminded his disciples that all compounded things are subject to vanish. Our bodies, our relationships, our work, our societies—are subject to change. Whatever is happening now, will change.In Buddhism we are invited to contemplate impermanence as a regular part of our practice life. When we do this, we see or remember that everything we love or depend on is of the nature to change.All beings are a life-cycle, they were born, they will die. It can be powerful to view each being like this, to see their birth and death within whatever their present expression is. Civilizations, societies also have a birth and a death.There is this teaching from Ajahn Cha, who apparently had this favorite cup that he always insisted on using when he gave formal talks. He would admire the beauty of the cup publicly. Once a student asked him about the teaching of non-attachment and impermanence in relationship to his cup. Ajahn Cha said, it is because I know that this cup will break someday that I love it so much.Impermanence can help us connect to what truly matters, to our love for this dynamic and wild life, and all the elements it contains.Four Divine Abodes—Loving kindness, compassion, joy, equanimity—these are qualities we can cultivate and dwell in—a clear and stable mind, a heart grounded in love, compassion and joy. Its actually quite subversive to practice the four boundless qualities of the heart-mind. To remember that we are interconnected, and that it is not our responsibility alone to save the world.When you don't know what to do, practice Loving kindness for yourself, for others, for the planet, for our world. For all beings who are experiencing fear. For all beings who are caught in greed, hatred and delusionHatreds never cease through hatred in this world; through love alone they cease. This is an eternal law.—the BuddhaDharma Protectors—Ask for help from the Bodhisattvas, Jizo Bodhisattva has this vow to enter any hell realm and guide beings to liberation. Ask Jizo to protect those who are most vulnerable, including parts of yourself!Vows—Stay connected to your vows. I find in times of stress, uncertainty, fear or confusion if I turn towards the bodhisattva vows, my personal vows clarify and deepen. Many of us may not have vows that we have articulated for this life, but may have a felt sense of calling, direction or orientation. Leaning into what matters, and drawing strength from this kind of north star orientation is essential for our hearts.Sangha—Thich Nhat Hanh said that the next Buddha is the Sangha. It has long been known that awakening and spiritual maturation happen in community, side by side with each other. We are stronger together. We just are.The more that we can rest into spiritual practice not being about achieving some kind of personal fulfillment, the more rich and meaningful spiritual practice becomes. I would say the same thing about living, if we are living for ourselves as a community of beings—life has a richness to it. Let's let our sense of community extend to include the entire world—the entire cosmos.Take refuge in community, and let yourself stay open to discovering more community in your life!Creativity—Make Art, Share Poetry, Sing, Dance, Illustrate, tell stories, make food for those you love, make time for creative expressionArt-making is an embodied practice.Art is healing, it opens us up to the different parts of ourselves and connects us to the collective.Art is a way to process and practice being imperfect.When we create, we are in touch with creation on an embodied level, love is being expressed through our being in all its various shades and colors.Art allows breakthroughs, something that has never been is given life.As systems crumble before our eyes, something new will be born, will rise from the ashes. Our creativity is part of that process. Trust that.In a Dangerous Time by Rosemerry Wahtola TrommerI think of the bonesof the unsung rib cage,the way they protectthe heart. How bone,too, is living, how it constantlyrenews and remakes itself.I think of how ribs engagewith other ribsto expand, to contract,and because they dotheir solid work,they allow the heart to float.This is what I want to do:to be a rib in this bodyof our country,to make a safe space for love.There is so much nowthat needs protection.I want to be that flexible,that committed to what's vital,that unwilling to yield.I'm Amy Kisei.

Dukha, there is another well-known name is Tsaatan which's called by Mongolia. its small and special community at west-north corner of Mongolia. They're actually Tuvan, living with reindeers and still keep the traditional migration life. I lived with them at their winter camp in deep mountains for a week. What a nice and pure people. Recorded by Digimonk.
In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, I had the pleasure of sitting down with two key figures from the Gables of Ojai as the beloved senior living facility celebrates its 70th anniversary. Matteo DiGrigoli, the Gables' executive director, and David Brown, CEO of Somera Capital Management, joined me to reflect on the institution's rich history and its future. The Gables has long been an integral part of Ojai, originally founded in 1954 by the inspiring leadership of Dr. Ethel Percy Andrus, who shortly after in 1957 founded the American Association of Retired Persons. The membership grew quickly from zero to 400,000 in 1962 before moving to Long Beach, then Washington, D.C. and now under Somera's guidance since 1999. This milestone year is the perfect moment to take stock of how far the Gables has come and the profound impact it continues to have on the community. David Brown shared fascinating insights into the pivotal moment when Somera Capital acquired the Gables from the AARP in 1999. He discussed the vision behind the transition and how the facility has evolved over the past two decades to meet the changing needs of Ojai's senior population. Matteo DiGrigoli brought a unique perspective, having taken the reins as executive director during the pandemic. He shared the challenges and triumphs of navigating such an unprecedented time, underscoring the resilience of the residents, staff, and families who trusted the Gables as a safe haven. As we look ahead to the anniversary celebration on Saturday, September 28th, both executives emphasized the importance of community connection and innovation in senior care. From their stewardship during trying times to their forward-looking vision, it's clear that the Gables remains a pillar of Ojai life, continuing to honor its past while shaping a bright future for its residents. We talked about the Zoot Suit Riots, culinary artistry and the formidable, six-foot-tall red-headed firebrand that was Dr. Andrus. We did not talk about Rene Redzipi's show "Omnivore," Ojai's pixie tangerine harvest or Tuvan throat singing.

If we say ‘Mongolia,' and you imagine an eagle hunter on horseback silhouetted against an endless blue sky and vast open plains, you are not wrong. Ditto for thinking of Chingiss Khan, frigid winters, and resilient nomads in gers (yurts). While those perceptions are valid, Mongolia may have some surprises for you. The sun shines 250 days a year, and summer days are luxuriously long and warm. Yes, Khan is a national hero (see: the 3-story glimmering steel statue of the Mongol leader on horseback), but Mongolians are most welcoming. The flap door of a ger is open to all, friends and strangers alike — and a hot bowl of milk tea will appear as soon as you cross the threshold. In the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, you can eat in restaurants, visit a temple, and wander through museums. When you've had enough of the bustle, ride into the steppes — on a horse, a camel, or an all-terrain jeep — and back in time. Under that vast sky, you can head north to spruce forests that stretch toward Russia, or west to the jaggy Altai mountains, or south to the wind-swept dunes of the Gobi Deserts (and, eventually, China). In this episode, we meet a formidable Mongolian warrior princess, listen to the otherworldly sound of Tuvan throat singing, and travel back in history with the annual Naadam Festival (a.k.a. the Mongolian Olympics). Then we recommend five great books that took us to Mongolia on the page: Akmaral by Judith Lindbergh Rough Magic by Lara Prior-Palmer Stand on the Sky by Erin Bow Border Crossings: A Journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway by Emma Fick When I'm Gone, Look for Me in the East by Quan Barry For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.

Tuvan throat singers Huun-Huur Tu, producer-composer Carmen Rizzo, and two-time Grammy-winner Dhani Harrison converge for their first-ever collaboration. Their new album is more than the sum of its parts, at the crossroads of different styles, rhythms, and languages through which they celebrate beauty, harmony, love, and kindness, all through the lens of vocals without words. “Dreamers In The Field,” a lilting and peaceful composition, is the title track.
For the last six episodes, we've been previewing some of the titles on the list for Record Store Day 2024 (April 20). This week, we wind down this series with a very special exclusive interview with musician and composer Dhani Harrison, who also happens to be the president of Dark Horse Records, the label founded by his father, the late and beloved George Harrison. Dark Horse is partnering on several releases with RSD, including his dad's Electronic Sound and Wonderwall Music, Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros Rock Art and The X-Ray Style, and Dreamers In The Field, a collaboration between Dhani, Carmen Rizzo, and Tuvan throat-singers, Huun-Huur-Tu. We talk about all of this and so much more. Musician and producer James Saez talks about the RSD set that he restored and produced featuring the great Nat King Cole, recorded Live at The Blue Note in Chicago in the summer of 1953. Eric Levin at Criminal Records talks about Dreams Don't Cost A Thing, an all-day tribute to the recently departed Dexter Romweber (Flat Duo Jets) at their Atlanta store on Record Store Day. And RSD co-founder Carrie Colliton drops by with some last minute details from the RSD world. The Record Store Day Podcast is written, produced, engineered and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

Ali Jafri is a multi-instrumentalist known for his involvement in various projects - as a member of David J's live band, playing rock- sitar for Pigface (or through his projects ARIEL, The Gotham City Drugstore, Saintfield or his solo work and so much more. His newest project is called The Shadow Majlis and his debut album called The Departure. This album has been Jafri's means to address his grief over losing his seven-year-old son Oisín, who passed away in September 2022 after a nine-month battle with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (a highly aggressive form of brain cancer), the dissolution of his conjugal relationship, and a year-long state of temporary homelessness. Produced and mixed by three-time Grammy Award winning producer David Bottrill (Peter Gabriel, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Tool, David Sylvian, Mastodon, Smashing Pumpkins, Muse, Real World Studios), with Darren McGill engineering the album. Mastered by Noah Mintz, the cover art was created by Stephen Seto (Splintercage). Jafri offers a multi-cultural artistic and musical vision, together with David J (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets) on bass and drummer-percussionist Rakesh Tewari, also vocalist Olena Tsybulska (DakhaBrakha), guitarist Mark Gemini Thwaite (The Mission, Peter Murphy, MGT, Tricky, Gary Numan), cellist Anne Bourne (Loreena McKennitt, Jane Siberry), Tuvan throat singer Soriah, Ravi Naimpally (Niyaz, Constantinople) on tabla, Pankaj Mishra on sarangi, Selmanpak Ayduz, Kerem Koktas on kemanche, and Sasha Singer-Wilson on backing vocals. https://theshadowmajlis.com/QUEEN OF WANDS with DJ Nocturna Every Saturday on ModSnap Radio | KMOD: San Antonio 3pm (HST), 5pm (PST), 6pm (MST), 7pm (CST), 8pm (EST) Follow me on my social media sites : Website: https://djnocturna.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DJNocturna Radio: https://modsnapradio.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nocturna.remixed/ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/djnocturna/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dj.nocturna
By request, we're tackling two holiday songs that expand the number of languages and dialects represented in our list. "Jingle Bells" as performed by Béla Fleck and the Flecktones featuring Alash marks the first appearance of Tuvan, and also, of Tuvan throat-singing! And, I don't know, maybe like the thirtieth post-modern banjo performance? And while we've had a good amount of French under our belts and in our ears already, "23 Décembre" by Beau Dommage is our first in the Québécois working-class dialect of Joual. Er, probably? Listen, we got really sidetracked in the middle of this one. The ranking music in this episode is "Fa La La" by Bündock. Thank you to merikus for these requests!
Kaj so razlogi, da se nekomu življenjska situacija zdi tako slaba in nerešljiva, da se mu zazdi samomor edina rešitev? Kateri so signali, ki nam lahko nakažejo, da nekdo razmišlja o tem, da bi končal svoje življenje? Za nazaj se morda znamenja, ki so kazala na hudo stisko, zdijo kot na dlani, a dejansko jih v praksi velikokrat spregledamo ali pa preprosto ne vemo, kako bi odreagirali, kaj bi rekli oziroma storili. A samomor ni le zelo drastičen in dokončen konec nekega življenja, ampak povzroči tudi hud pretres obsežnemu krogu ljudi. In lahko celo spodbudi nove samomore. »Učinek posnemanja je večji, kadar deterministično govorimo o samomorilnem vedenju in svojih stiskah, kot da je to edini način,« izpostavlja psihologinja izr. prof. dr. Vita Poštuvan z Univerze na Primorskem, ki je za svoje delo na področju suicidologije konec leta 2021 prejela Zoisovo priznanje. Oddajo Podobe znanja z dr. Vito Poštuvan smo prvič predvajali v januarju 2022, zdaj pa znova vabimo k poslušanju!
Notes: Songs can be career counselors, harmonizing means you don't have to memorize words, if you don't like to sing alone, then singing with others can unlock your voice, how to leave space for people, how to become a found family (food is involved) -- what other ideas might VoiceExchange have to share with you? This quintet of singers improvised their way through the pandemic -- learn how they honed their ability to play even when geographically distant (and hear an example at the very end, created on the fly with Zoom faces and Jacktrip sound). Improvisation can be a weird and wonderful world -- a chance to hear the unexpected. The song they shared is a tree speaking... and what a beautiful sense of embrace it creates. Songwriter Info: VoiceExchange initially formed as a practice group following a 2012 Bobby McFerrin Circlesongs workshop. As singers from disparate musical influences, they came together, connecting through a shared passion for vocal improvisation, and formed a unique a cappella group that blends diverse vocal styles into spontaneous harmonious arrangements. During the challenges of the pandemic VoiceExchange began a series of sequentially recorded collaborations for leading online circles. This resulted in a library of recordings, among them, Touch the Sky and Take My Hand. VoiceExchange members are Amado Ohland, Beth Lyons, Dina Torok, Joy Truskowski and Paris Kern. They can be found leading Circlesinging events in Maryland, Virginia, Massachusetts & Vermont as well as offering online and in-person workshops and providing spontaneous music to churches, temples and other community gatherings. Amado Ohland began his semi-professional career as a jazz and blues vocalist shortly after graduating University of Maryland at College Park with a bachelor's in music composition and theory. He attended his first Circlesongs workshop in 2011, and has been leading circlesinging events since 2013 in Washington DC, Pittsburgh, and western Virginia. He has recently received a master's degree in music from Radford University. For his doctoral dissertation he is working on a participatory ethnography of circlesinging worldwide and a song cycle of pieces based on circlesinging techniques. Born into a musical family, Beth Lyons actually can't remember a ‘before' time when singing-in-community wasn't a part of her life. She currently performs improvised musicals with iMusical, the house musical improv team for Washington Improv Theater, performs and leads Circles with VoiceExchange, and leads online immersive Song Dive workshops and a Monday morning online choir named Coffee Choir. You can learn more about her offerings and sign up for her “Heads Up” notification/invite list at www.RiverChoir.org. Dina Torok has sung in and been musical director for various a cappella groups from college through adulthood. She was a professional film and television session singer, performed in various pop/rock bands in Los Angeles, and recorded an original solo album and a piano/vocal album of show tunes. Dina found VoiceExchange and circle singing in 2015 and has been a grateful member ever since. Joy Truskowski is a singer-songwriter and community songleader. She has performed as a solo artist in the Roanoke, VA area for 13 years. You can find her original songs on Bandcamp under the name “Joy Tru”. She started Star City Circlesinging in 2019 and has been leading circles with other co-leaders in Roanoke ever since. During the beginning of the pandemic she started contributing to VoiceExchange's online circles. She fell in love with all of them, and they all asked her to marry them. She said, “I can't marry you, but I'll join your group!” And that was a fair compromise. So she officially joined in the summer of 2021. Paris Kern started performing traditional folk music at coffeehouses and concerts when she was 16 years old. She studied classical vocal performance in college, but her heart was always in the world of pure traditional folk traditions. In 2011, for reasons unknown to her, she was internally compelled to attend Bobby McFerrin's CIrclesongs workshop. Feeling like a fish out of water, surrounded by mostly Jazz musicians, she nonetheless was hooked by the magic of Circlesongs and the sensation that her heart was being sung back to her. She has been leading circles in Washington DC, and Baltimore and is now starting circles in Southern Vermont. Sharing Info: VoiceExchange would love to know if you plan to teach or perform Touch the Sky or another of their songs; drop them a line at info@VoiceExchange.org.

Our vocal system is incredibly complex. What we call “the voice” starts with very precise movements of our vocal cords, and then goes through an entire “resonation system” that includes our throat, mouth, lips, tongue, and teeth. With enough control over these components, people can do some truly mind-bending things with their voices, creating sounds that feel out of this world—from rumbling lows to piercing highs, and even two notes sung at once. This episode features vocal coach Matt Ramsey and Tuvan musician and throat singer Albert Kuvezin. Check out our new store at 20k.org/shop. Watch our video shorts on Youtube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Special Kargyraa and overtone singing lessons by Giovanni B. Bortoluzzi Giovanni B. Bortoluzzi was born in Italy in 1987. He began his musical journey in 2006, by learning to play drums, bass and guitar with local blues bands. Shortly after, he started being attracted by the sound of the harmonic overtones. Since 2013 he's been studying and researching in the field of overtone singing, with particular dedication to the Tuvan styles and melodies. In 2015 he created the Method4L, a didactical tool designed for improving the control of the overtones in the human voice. In 2017 he moved in Sardinia to learn the tradition of Cantu a Tenore, also known as Sardinian Throat Singing: during these years, he joined a research team that analyzed the movements inside of his larynx, using laryngostroboscopy and real-time MRI. This research focused on the western overtone singing techniques, with a special analysis on the Tuvan style “ezengileer”. It has been presented in Kracow in 2019, and then published in 2020 on TheJournalOfVoice. Nowadays, he's a very popular overtone singing performer, especially for the Tuvan style “Kargyraa”, and also one of the most requested teachers not only in Italy, but also abroad.

Roko Belic knows a thing or two about Happiness. He is living it and sharing it through his work as a filmmaker. His films range from “Happy” which explores this topic, to “Trust Me” which explores the digital age and its implications for our Happiness. In this open ended conversation Roko and Peter explore the aspects that make up happiness as well as elements which rob us of it. This includes taking the abstract concepts of happiness, contentment and gratitude as well as fear and anger,, discussing the physiological implications then distilling these elements into actionable strategies using real world examples of people living happy and fulfilling lives. This includes how Roko has chosen to live his life inspired from so many people he has encountered on his journey. The conversation dives into the human hardwiring of fear and anger and how this can be exploited in the modern world, particularly through the spread of information and disinformation to create division. This highlights the importance of recognizing that all humans have more in common at our core than the messaging suggests. Roko reminds us all how cooperation and compassion play key roles in human survival, how curiosity and empathy can overcome xenophobia and the delicate balance between happiness and fear in today's world. Ultimately, this interview serves as a platform for YOU to foster happiness in the modern world. Roko's documentaries and the insights gleaned from them serve as reference points to delve deeper into these subjects and provide insights into the human experience. Here are some of the talking points: How many people have become disconnected from the physical activities that bring joy and happiness, such as play. Engaging in activities that are physically and aerobically challenging can greatly improve overall happiness and well-being. By reconnecting with our evolutionary roots and prioritizing activities that promote both physical and emotional health, we can begin to make better decisions for ourselves and our well-being. By embracing the principles of a healthy lifestyle, including a well-rounded diet, regular exercise, and activities that bring joy, we can create a positive spiral that enhances our emotional and cognitive states, leading to a happier, more fulfilling life. Mental capacity and taking risks - They talk about how embracing risks can lead to a more fulfilling life, contrasting this with today's risk-averse society. Backpacking and filmmaking - Roko shares his experiences backpacking around the world and making films like “Genghis Blues”, his first project about the Tuvan throat singers and, subsequently, “Beyond the Call” about doctors performing critical care in war zones . The importance of curiosity - They discuss the importance of curiosity and taking risks in life, and how the growing popularity of ultra-running is an example of people seeking more adventurous experiences. Overcoming challenges and the importance of adaptive stressors in life - They discuss how running helped them to build their endurance and confidence, eventually allowing them to run as fast as their peers and cover long distances in the mountains. Conversely, they touch on how removing adaptive stressors from our lives can lead to a lack of problem-solving skills and innovation. The importance of prioritizing relationships and experiences over financial success. Happiness was not considered a valid area of study and was often dismissed. However, in recent years, researchers have begun to study happiness and have found that it is indeed a valuable area of research. The importance of self-acceptance and inner work in achieving happiness. He notes that many relationship issues stem from a person's inner self and how they interact with others. Roko encourages listeners to examine their own behaviors and beliefs to improve their happiness and relationship with themselves and thus with others. The importance of gratitude and how it can enhance our lives. - Everyone has a purpose, something to contribute and a connection to something larger than ourselves. Finding and developing our purpose, contribution and connection can make us happier as an Individual and, through this, collectively as a society.

If this is your goal as a coach, you are in the right place. In this episode, I shared my recent experience of how to open my throat when it started closing up. I always had this type of physical symptoms of my throat closing up when I wanted to express myself or share my emotions and feelings. Especially when I tried to share my childhood stories, my throat completely closed up. But after learning the other voice (your true nature voice according to Tuvan or Mongolian throat singers), the vibrations help me open up my throat even when it wants to close up. If you experience the same thing, try the other voice and see how it helps you speak your mind. I use Kajabi to run my businesses.

In this side episode, part of the Tales from the Steppe bonus episodes, we dive into the tale of Boktu-Kirish, a story that derives from the Tuvan people. Come listen as we hear about the exploits of a young woman on a quest to bring her dead brother back to life.
Matt wages war on the entire gay community because of the negligence of one old gay man. He introduces a new regime called The Eternal Reich (or The Fourth and Final Reich) where you'll find concentration camps full of furries. Perhaps not coincidentally, Matt also lashes out against the Jewish and cosplay communities. Meanwhile, Greg is worried that Patrick Bateman in American Psycho feels too relatable to him. Matt doesn't shy away from impersonations and improvisational tunes in this week's episode: Liam Neeson, Iron Maiden, Tuvan throat singing, Hulk Hogan's theme song, a heartfelt tribute to Armie Hammer's alleged cannibalistic tendencies, and sloppy Metallica karaoke. Matt and Greg make fun of the homoerotic no-fun straight edge hardcore scenes of the good old days and discuss liberals' sick obsession with Donald Trump. Why hasn't the Doomsday clock changed since Biden has been president? What page of Revelations are we currently living in? None of that matters, as Matt plans to recreate the white race in his image in post-apocalyptic rural Ontario.

I have been practicing throat singing in the past 4 months, and I learned that we have a few different voices. One voice is called "the other voice." and it is the voice Mongolian and Tuvan throat singers use to sing Kargyraa. When I had a really bad sore throat from Covid-19, I used the other voice to heal my throat. The pain was gone in a few hours.

“What I refer to, or point toward when I speak in these terms is the tender experience I see in each of us — in you — when something breaks through to your heart, inviting tears to begin to form in your eyes, and causes a warm sense of well-being or goodness to gently flood into your body. That very real, visceral and emotional experience is the only evidence I have of something that may very well issue initially from my thoughts but seems to go well beyond them into an intimate space that is hard to touch, like the sounds of the gongs. You can feel those vibrations and even describe them, but they are more than your descriptions and more than your sensory responses, and that is part of their beauty. Hence, the “embodied inconceivable.” That is no mystery. It is the longed for and treasured conversations we share, moving through our individual bodies and through the space our bodies make together. It is the forrest, the sky, the ocean and wind, and the entire contingent universe we find ourselves in — together. It is the awe and gratitude, the humility and sheer joy which spring up beyond everyday answers and ordinary knowability. It feels like love to me.” ~ Flint Sparks For When People Ask ~ Rosemary Wahtola Trommer I want a word that means okay and not okay, more than that: a word that means devastated and stunned with joy. I want the word that says I feel it all all at once. The heart is not like a songbird singing only one note at a time, more like a Tuvan throat singer able to sing both a drone and simultaneously two or three harmonics high above it— a sound, the Tuvans say, that gives the impression of wind swirling among rocks. The heart understands swirl, how the churning of opposite feelings weaves through us like an insistent breeze leads us wordlessly deeper into ourselves, blesses us with paradox so we might walk more openly into this world so rife with devastation, this world so ripe with joy.
Featuring the modern funk of Danish guitar hero Thor Madsen; the fresh sounds of NOLA's Extended Trio; kick-ass Tuvan fusion courtesy of Bady-Dorzhu Ondar and Shodekeh; country/jazz mashed up beautifully by the one and only Ron Miles; drummer/composer Ches Smith and his latest Pyroclastic release; a double-shot of solos from master bassist Stephan Crump and guitar legend John Scofield (his 1st ever solo recording!); and wrapping up with Italian maestro Ennio Morricone + music from HBOs ‘Lovecraft Country'.
From the heart of the Mongolian steppe, to North China's loess plateaus; from the rugged edges of Northern India, to the hot sands of Syria and the Levant, to humid jungles in southeastern Asia, rocky islands off the coast of Japan, the high peaks of the Caucasus, Himalayas, Altai, Tien Shan and Carpathian Mountains, to the frozen rivers in Rus' granting access to Eastern Europe, and everywhere in between. Our series on the Mongol Empire has taken you across Eurasia, meeting all sorts of figures; the brutal Tamerlane, the indefatigable Sultan Baybars, the brave if shortsighted Jalal al-Din Mingburnu and his foolish father Muhammad Khwarezmshah; the cunning Jia Sidao, the silver-tongued Qiu Chuji, the thorough scholar Rashid al-Din, and travellers like John de Plano Carpini, William of Rubruck, and Ibn Battuta, to the exhausted but noble-hearted Yelü Chücai. And of course, the Mongols themselves: the powerful Öz Beğ, Khan of the Golden Horde; the thorough and pious convert Ghazan Il-Khan; the scheming Du'a of the Chagatais, the stout Qaidu Khan of the Ögedaids, to the Great Khans of the thirteenth century, the most powerful of men; Khubilai, whose hands scrambled for more until his body and empire failed his ambitions; his brother Möngke, whose steely determination sought to solidify the empire at all costs, no matter the bloodshed; Güyük, a reluctant and unfortunate man to ascend to the throne; his mother Törögene, whose fierce will forced her son to that same throne; Ögedai, a drunk who despite his failings built the infrastructure of the empire. And of course, Chinggis himself; once a scared boy in the steppes, turned into the greatest conqueror of them all. Today we end our journey with the Empire of the Great Khans, and reflect on the passage of the Chinggisids. I'm your host David, and this is Kings and Generals, Ages of Conquest. Back in our first episode, we highlighted certain trends to look for over the course of this series. The first emphasized looking for the middle ground between the Mongols as inherently evil or good forces, but as people whose expansion was rooted in historical events and personages. The second was the struggles that came with the management of a world empire, and the need to rely on non-Mongolian subject peoples—Chinese, Central Asian Muslims, Persians, Turks and others. The third was the struggle for the purpose of the empire; should it be continued conquest, or consolidation and serving the needs of the imperial princes. This was the balance between the Khan and his central government, or the Chinggisid and military aristocrats. The fourth was the steady assimilation, particularly Turkification, of the Mongols outside of Mongolia, as Mongolian was replaced as the language of administration, legitimacy and finally, among the ruling family itself, even while retaining the Mongolian imperial ideology. Regarding the first theme, we have sought to highlight in our many discussions of sources their often complicated, conflicting portrayals or events and persons. While authors like Ibn al-Athir, Nasawi and Juzjani had little good to say about the Mongols or Chinggis Khan, and fit well with the popular model the destructive brute, we've also looked at many sources which had more positive portrayals of the khans. Some of these are rather obvious, imperial-produced sources such as the Secret History of the Mongols, but even sources from outside the empire could give glowing reviews of Chinggis Khan. For instance, the fourteenth century English writer Geoffrey Chaucer, in the Squire's Tale of his famous Canterbury Tales, opens with the following lines: At Tzarev in the land of Tartary There dwelt a king at war with Muscovy Which brought the death of many a doughty man This noble king was known as Cambuskan And in his time enjoyed such great renown That nowhere in that region up or down Was one so excellent in everything; Nothing he lacked belonging to a king. Written at the same time as Toqtamish Khan of the Golden Horde was fighting for control of that Khanate, here Chaucher remembered Chinggis Khan not as a bloodthirsty barbarian, but as a monarch embodying all ideal qualities of kingship. Chaucer continues thusly; As to the faith in which he had been born He kept such loyalties as he had sworn, Then he was powerful and wise and brave, Compassionate and just, and if he gave His word he kept it, being honourable, The same to all, benevolent, and stable As is a circle's centre; and in fight As emulous as any squire or knight. Young personable, fresh and fortunate, Maintaining such a kingliness of state There never was his match in mortal man, This noble king, this Tartar Cambuskan. For writers in fourteenth century England, obviously distant from the Mongol Empire itself, it was not unbecoming to idealize the portrayal of Chinggis Khan. This is not to say that Chaucher's description is accurate, or necessarily reflects any actual qualities about the man or any of his descendants. But rather, it reflects historical perception. How an individual is perceived by contemporaries, history, and modern people often bears little resemblance to actual details of the individual. Instead, people will contort an image for whatever use suits their current purposes, context and political climate. Thus, warlords from the late imperial, and post-Mongol world styled Chinggis' image to suit their needs. In Central Asia Chinggisid descent remained one of the most prestigious, and necessary, requirements for rulership up until the nineteenth century in some areas. This was problematic though with the spread of Islam, given that Chinggis Khan's actual life produced very few episodes to nicely accommodate an Islamic narrative. Certain Persian writings during the Ilkhanate sought to fix this by making Chinggis a Muslim in all but name. On the tomb of Tamerlane, an inscription likely added during the reign of his grandson Ulugh Beğ, makes Tamerlane a descendant of both the Prophet Muhammad and of Chinggis Khan. Later post-imperial authors had a more direct solution; simply making Chinggis Khan outright a Muslim. As the destruction of the conquests slipped further back in time, this became easier and easier to accomplish. Religion was not the only aspect which can be molded, for Chinggis' very status as a Mongol becomes malleable in state efforts to construct national mythos, in both medieval and modern settings. Today, you can find countries where official propaganda, or influential theorists, incorporate Chinggis into the desired story of their nation-state. In China, there remains a significant Mongolian population, largely in what the Chinese call the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, the land south of the Gobi desert but north of the mountains which divide it from the North China plain. The Chinese government has taken to presenting China's non-Han peoples, Mongols among them, more or less as Chinese minority peoples and actively encourages their adoption of the state-language, Mandarin, and Han Chinese culture. In this view, the Mongol conquests are sometimes presented as a period of national reunification rather than foreign conquest. The efforts of Khubilai Khaan to legitimize the Yuan Dynasty based on Chinese dynastic legal precedent becomes the quote-on-quote “historical evidence,” that Chinggis Khan was actually Chinese, or that in fact, the Mongol conquerors were fully assimilated into the Chinese population and culture. The borders of the Yuan Dynasty served to justify later Chinese territorial claims in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Manchuria, Tibet and Yunnan; places that were, before the Mongols, inconsistently in the Chinese sphere of influence, but since the conquests have often remained dominated by empires based in China. Not coincidentally, such narratives serve to support the narrative of 5,000 years of a continuous Chinese Empire, and remove the sting that may accompany the embarrassment of being conquered by perceived barbarians. Likewise, various Turkic peoples, most notably Kazakhs, Tatars, and Anatolian Turks, have sought to claim Chinggis as their own, and there are even groups in Korea and Japan that will argue that Chinggis was actually one of theirs. The Japanese version has Chinggis as the Samurai Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who faked his death and fled Japan for the steppe! Khubilai's later invasions of Japan again become not foreign assaults, but attempts at national reunification or the efforts by Yoshitsune's descendants to return home. And of course, fringe groups even in Europe and Russia which, refusing to believe a barbarian horseman could conquer such great states, insist that Chinggis was actually a red-haired, green-eyed man of European ancestry. Such claims often include vague references to the mummies of the Tarim Basin, who bore some features associated with Caucasian populations. The fact that these mummies pre-date Chinggis by millenia is often conveniently left out. All of these people care much more about ethnic categorization than Chinggis himself likely ever did. Just as religion or ethnicity can be forced to fit certain agendas, so too can portrayal as barbarian or saviour. In Mongolia today, Chinggis Khan's unification of the Mongols, his introduction of a writing system, religious tolerance, laws and stability are most heavily emphasized. For building a post-soviet national identity, obviously these are useful attributes to appeal to for the desired national character. But the Mongolian governmet also tends to gloss over the aspects less appreciated in the twenty-first century: namely, the destruction of people and property on a massive scale, mass-rapes, towers of skulls and wars of conquest. The fact that Mongolia's two neighbours, Russia and China, suffered particularly under Mongol onslaughts, also avoids some diplomatic hurdles to step past these military aspects. For most of the twentieth century during Mongolia's years as a Soviet satellite state, Chinggis was largely pushed aside, framed as a feudal lord. Instead, Mongolia's hero of the 1921 socialist revolution, Damdin Sükhbaatar, became the preferred national icon. After Mongolia was democratized in the 1990s after the fall of the USSR, Chinggis Khan has seen a massive resurgence in popularity. Today, Chinggis and Sükhbaatar remain national icons, with monuments to both throughout the country. Outside Mongolia's parliament, the main square has changed names from Sükhbaatar to Chinggis Square, and since back to Sükhbaatar square. An equestrian statue to Sükhbaatar sits in the middle of that square. More than a few foreign observers had mistakenly called this a statue of Chinggis. In fact, only a few metres away from the equestrian statue of Sükhbaatar sits a massive Chinggis Khan on a throne flanked by his generals, at the top of the steps leading into Mongolia's parliament. In a way it is metaphorical. No matter how prominent any later hero of Mongolia may be, he will always stand in the shadow of Chinggis Khan. And that's not even mentioning the 40 metre tall silver monstrosity about 50 kilometres outside of Ulaanbaatar. Speaking of state narratives, much of the cost for this statue was covered by the company owned by Khaltmaagin Battulga, a former professional sambo wrestler who from 2017-2021 served as the fifth President of Mongolia. Outside of Mongolia though, Chinggis and the Mongol Empire remain a top-point of reference to paint someone in the most unfavourable light. One of the highest level cases of recent years was when the President of Iraq, the late Saddam Hussein, compared former US President George W. Bush to Hülegü, Chinggis' grandson and conqueror of Baghdad. The American bombing and capture of Baghdad, and ensuing tragedies that Iraq as suffered in the aftermath of the campaign, have only solidified the connection for a number of Muslims. Meanwhile Russian television and education tend to present the Mongols in a style comparable to Zack Snyder's film 300, such as the 2017 Russian film Легенда о Коловрате [Legenda O Kolovrate], also known as Furious. Like the Spartans in the film or Frank Miller's graphic novel, the Rus' soldiers are presented as formidable warriors fighting monstrous, untrained hordes from the east. Only through sheer numbers or trickery do the disgusting Orientals overcome the pasty-white heroes of the story— though few of the heroes in the Russian films have Scottish accents. Russia has turned the so-called Tatar Yoke into a catch-all to explain any perceived deficiencies compared to western Europe, from government absolutism to alcoholism. Not only the Russians have employed the comparison: “scratch a Russian and you'll find a Tatar,” Napoleon Bonaparte is supposed to have quipped. And in 2018 the Wall Street Journal released a particularly poorly written article, which compared the political machinations of current president Vladimir Putin as “Russia's turn to its Asian past,” accompanied by vague comparisons to the Mongols and an awful portrait of Putin drawn in Mongolian armour. In contrast, the Russian Defence Minister, at the time of writing, is Sergei Shoigu, a fellow of Tuvan descent who is alleged to enjoy comparisons of himself to Sübe'edei, the great Mongol general popularly, though inaccurately, portrayed as a Tuvan. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, essentially a good old-fashioned war of conquests accompanied by war crimes and destruction of cities, has also earned many comparisons to the Mongol conquests by many online commentators. Though unlike the Russians, the Mongols actually took Kyiv. Somewhat surprisingly, most cinematic portrayals of Chinggis himself lean towards sympathetic or heroic. One of the most recent is a 2018 Chinese film entitled Genghis Khan in English, which features a slim Chinese model in the titular role, and one of his few depictions without any facial hair. In that film he battles a bunch of skeletons and monsters, and it could be best described as “not very good,” as our series researcher can, unfortunately, attest. One popular portrayal is the 2007 film Mongol, directed by Sergei Bodrov and starring a Japanese actor in the role of Chinggis. That actor, by the way, went on to play one of Thor's buddies in the Marvel movies. Here, Chinggis is a quiet, rather thoughtful figure, in a film which emphasizes the brutal childhood he suffered from. Another sympathetic portrayal, and one perhaps the most popular in Mongolia, is the 2004 Inner Mongolian series where Ba Sen, an actor who claims descent from Chagatai and appeared in the previously two mentioned films, plays the role of Chinggis. Hollywood does not tend to portray Chinggis Khan or the Mongols in films at all, but when it does, it really goes for a swing and a miss. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure has Chinggis essentially only a step above a cave-man in that film. Other Hollywood endeavours are infamous for having non-Asian actors in the role, such as Egyptian-born Omar Shariff in 1965's Genghis Khan, Marvin Miller in 1951's The Golden Horde and the most infamous of them all, the cowboy John Wayne in 1956's The Conqueror. That film's theatrical release poster bears the tasteful tagline of, “I am Temujin…barbarian… I fight! I love! I conquer… like a Barbarian!” The film was also produced by Howard Hughes, founder of Playboy Magazine, and was filmed near a nuclear testing site. As you may suspect, that film bears as much resemblance to the historical events as an opium-induced fever dream. The appearance and depiction of Chinggis and his successors varies wildly. The internet today loves the stories of Chinggis being the ancestor of millions of people, and killing so many people that it changed the earth's climate. The articles that made both of these claims though, rested on shaky evidence. In the first, which we dedicated an entire episode of this podcast too, the study claimed that high rates of a certain haplotype among the Hazara of Afghanistan demonstrated that Chinggis himself bore that haplotype, and Chinggis was extrapolated to be the ancestor of other peoples bearing such a haplotype. But the historical sources indicate Chinggis and his immediate descendants spent little time in Afghanistan, and the associated Haplotype was probably one associated with various populations leaving Mongolia over centuries, rather than specifically Chinggis himself. Likewise, the study which spawned the claim that the Mongols killed enough people to cool the climate, firstly did not make that claim itself, but moreso incorrectly made the Mongol conquests last from 1206 to 1380, and presented it as an almost two-century period of population decline brought on by Mongolian campaigns; despite the fact that the major destructive Mongolian military campaigns largely halted after 1279. While campaigns continued after that, they were never on the level of the great-campaigns of conquest. Thus it's irresponsible to claim that any atmospheric carbon loss over the fourteenth century was brought on by continued Mongol military efforts. What these two popular descriptions lend themselves to, is one of extremes. The internet loves extremes of anything. For instance, since 1999 the Internet has always sought to outdo itself in declaring the latest Star Wars product to actually be the worst thing ever made. And the Mongol Empire, as history's largest contiguous land-empire, responsible for immense destruction and long-ranging campaigns and forced migrations, can easily slot in this ‘extreme manner.' A “top-ten” list where the author writes about how the Mongols were the most extreme and destructive and badass thing ever, repeating the same 10 facts, probably gets released on the internet every other month. Just as national-myth makers in Ulaanbaatar, Beijing and Moscow set how to portray the Mongol Empire in the way most suited to them, so too does the internet and its writers choose an aspect of the empire to emphasis; be it religious tolerance, free-trade, brutality, multi-culturalism, Islam, clash of civilizations, human impact on climate, the territorial expanse of a certain country or its national identity, or whatever argument the author hopes to make. The Mongol Empire though remains in the past, and should be treated, and learned about, as such. The events which led to the rise, expansion and fall of the Mongol Empire do not fit into nice, sweeping modern narratives, but their own historical context and situation. The Mongol Empire was not predetermined to ever expand out of Mongolia, or to break apart in 1260; had Chinggis Khan been struck by an arrow outside the walls of Zhongdu, or Möngke lived another ten years, in both cases the empire, and indeed the world, would look dramatically different. History is not the things which ought to be or needed to happen or were supposed to happen; it is the things that did happen, and those things did not occur simply for the purposes of the modern world to exist. A million choices by hundreds of millions of individuals, affected by climate and geography with a healthy dose of luck and happenstance, resulted in the world as we know it. Reading backwards from the present to understand the course of the Mongol Empire, and attempting to make it fit into the political narratives we like today, only does a disservice to history. It should be seen not as a virtuous force bringing continental peace justified by easier trade, nor as a demonic horde, but as an event within human history, in which real humans took part, where great tragedy occured in the pursuit of empire. History is not just written by the victor of the actual battles; as we've detailed across this series, we have no shortage of historical sources on the Mongol Empire; imperial approved sources, sources by travellers passing through the empire, to sources written by the peoples the Mongols crushed. Instead, the history learned in schools and passed down through historical memory and media is built on top of preferred state narratives, those made today and in the past.

How does a poem emerge? So many ways to do it right, says Rosemerry. But in this episode, we take an intimate and critical look at one poem, “For When People Ask,” and talk about the genesis of the poem, how it changed and transformed, how the metaphors grew and how people responded to it. We also talk about saving first drafts–or not, trusting the process, leaning into uncertainty, letting our creative process be led by honesty, getting our egos out of the way, and, of course, paradox. **For When People AskI want a word that means okay and not okay, a word that meansdevastated and stunned with joy. I want the word that says I feel it all all at once.The heart is not like a songbird singing only one note at a time, more like a Tuvan throat singerable to sing both a drone and simultaneously two or three harmonics high above it—a sound, the Tuvans say, that gives the impression of wind swirling among rocks.The heart understands the swirl, how the churning of opposite feelings weaves through us like an insistent breezeleads us wordlessly deeper into ourselves, blesses us with paradox so we might walk more openlyinto this world so rife with devastation, this world so ripe with joy.

Theodore Levin has a lifetime of scholarship in studying music, culture, and spirituality of Central Asia and Siberia. His book on Tuvan Singing opens new understandings of melodies of timbre and musical relations with ecology and the natural world. This episode draws together a rich conversation on hospitality, mimesis, sonic painting, intertwined listening, and the violence of uprooted imaginations.
The Republic of Tuva, located in the Russian Federation, is known across the world for its music. If you've ever heard Tuvan vocalists sing, you'll understand why. A piercing whistle hovers over a deep, buzzing drone — two very different sounds coming from the same singer's vocal tract as he harmonizes with himself. So how do these master vocalists sing two notes at once? The answer lies in the most fundamental principles of sound. And in theory, anyone can learn to do it. On this episode of the Scienceline podcast, experience the captivating beauty of Tuvan throat singing and the physics that makes it possible.

Kaj so razlogi, da se nekomu življenjska situacija zdi tako slaba in nerešljiva, da se zazdi samomor edina rešitev? Kateri so signali, ki nam lahko nakažejo, da nekdo razmišlja o tem, da bi končal svoje življenje? Za nazaj se morda znamenja, ki so kazala na hudo stisko, zdijo kot na dlani, a dejansko jih v praksi velikokrat spregledamo ali pa preprosto ne vemo, kako bi odreagirali, kaj bi rekli oziroma storili. A samomor ni le zelo drastičen in dokončen zaključek nekega življenja, ampak povzroči tudi hud pretres obsežnemu krogu ljudi. In lahko celo spodbudi nove samomore. »Učinek posnemanja je večji, kadar deterministično govorimo o samomorilnem vedenju in naših stiskah, kot da je to edini način,« izpostavlja psihologinja izr. prof. dr. Vita Poštuvan z Univerze na Primorskem, ki je za svoje delo na področju suicidologije prejela Zoisovo priznanje. Pogostost samomorov se je v zadnjih desetletjih zmanjšala. Vita Poštuvan meni, da je to povezano tudi z spremenjenim odnosom do samomora. »V 80ih letih 20. stoletja se je veliko, tudi v psihiatriji, govorilo kar o nekem samomorilnem karakterju Slovencev in se mi zdi, da smo danes to že presegli,« poudarja Vita Poštuvan. Zakaj je to tako pomembno? »Če tako deterministično pogledamo na sebe, potem nimamo pravih vzvodov za ukrepanje.«

After the Mahabharata War, the Yadava Clan was very nearly destroyed and a Group left Bharatavarsha,now called India . They spread throughout the world and in the words of Gene D. Matlock, “Even ancient Hindu mythology states that the forefathers of the Hindus came down in successive waves from Eastern Siberia (Uttara Kuru). Even now, the major tribes in Eastern Siberia bear virtually the same names as the three major grass-roots Indian groups: Saka, Buryat, and Yakuts. In India, they became the Saka (Scythians), Bharats, and Yakhu-Deva (Now the Yadavas). The Yadavas later became the Hebrews or the Phoenicians and Jews, fathering the civilizations of all mankind. As you've read in some E-Mails I've received, some people hate me for saying that. The Bharats were the Kashi or founding leadership caste of India. The Sakas (Scythians) became the fathers of Guatama Buddha and also the Mesheks that the Bible talks about. These Mesheks became our American Indians because the Bharats and Yadavas feared them as did our forefathers in Bibleland. As I said in a prior E-Mail, the evangelican Christians, who make much of “Last Days Prophecies,” say that the Meshecks of Russia and Turkey will take us over. However, thousands of real Mesheks (Meshika) cross over into our country every day – and even ancient Mexican myths prophesied this. By the way, DNA tests proved that these Siberian groups and the Hindus of Northern India share the same DNA. I have even more proof of these matters in my files and references.' There were inroads made already into the East and the Kingdom was called the Uttara Kuru. ‘Por-Bajin is legally treated as one of the most mysterious archaeological monuments of Russia,' says the official website for the complex, about 3,800km from Moscow. ‘Apparently it was built at the period of the Uighur Khagante nomadic empire (744-840 AD), but it's not clear what they built a fortress for in such a solitary place, far from big settlements and trade routes. ‘The architecture also produces many questions and it has reminders of a model of an ideal Chinese city-palace.' Por-Bajin, which translates as ‘clay house' in the Tuvan language, is located in the very centre of Eurasia, on the borders of Russia and Mongolia. It sits on a small island in a lake high in the mountains between the Sayan and Altai ranges, about five miles west of the isolated Kungurtuk settlement in southern Siberia… ‘Bajrapur is mentioned as Vajrapur in the Harivamsa Purana. The story of Vajrapur was revealed by the ruler of Jaiselmer in the 1790s to Lt. Col. James Tod, Political Agent of the East India Company, who was researching the Rajput tribes of India which included the Yadhu tribe, of which Sri Krishna and his son Pradyamna are the most well known. The ruins of the City of Por Bajin located in Siberia bears an uncanny resemblance to the design of Dwarka City, which was the city that Sri Krishna had built earlier. The Harivamsa Purana describes the conquest of Vajrapuram in the Vishnu Paran section. It says that an a city was built by ‘builder' Nikumba for King Vajranabha with the name Vajrapuram (later Bajra Pur). The city was an ‘Asura' city in a far off land. In his work ‘The Goose in Indian Literature and Art' (Volume 2 of Memoirs of the Kern Institute), author Jean Philippe Vogel writes that the ancient Vajrapura was surrounded by a huge lake. Por Bajin, as it is called today, is surrounded by a lake called ‘Tere Kol. ‘Kul' (कूल) in Sanskrit means ‘lake', ‘pond' or ‘pool'. Or else, ‘Tere Kol' may be a distortion of ‘Tri-Kut' (त्रिकूट) meaning ‘Three Peaks or Ranges' which maybe a reference to the surrounding Altay, Sayan and Tochi Mountain Ranges.

When VPs Run for America's Top Office (0:35)Guest: Joel K. Goldstein, Professor of Law, Saint Louis University, Author of “The Modern American Vice Presidency: The Transformation of a Political Institution” and “The White House Vice Presidency: The Path to Significance, Mondale to Biden” Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is still in the 2020 presidential race, but former Vice President Joe Biden is winning in the primaries and looks likely to be the Democratic nominee. It's not unusual for vice presidents to run for the top job. It is unusual for them to do it after being out of office for a while. In fact, only one other former vice president has successfully run for president after taking a break from office. The Science Behind Tuvan Throat Singing (22:02)Guest: Brad Story, Professor of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, University of ArizonaThe throat singers of Tuva and Mongolia have long puzzled scientists. But some clever scientists solved the puzzle by putting a Tuvan throat singer into an MRI and recording a video of what's going on inside his mouth and throat as he sings. The Uncensored Library Lets Journalists Escape Censorship In…Minecraft? (34:30)Guest: Guest: Kristin Bässe, Media and Public Relations Officer, Reporters Without Borders (RSF)The video game Minecraft is proving popular – and useful – during the pandemic. Poland launched a public server so kids can hang out and build things with their friends in a virtual space – while keep at a safe social distance. Some Japanese elementary students missing out on their graduation, held one for themselves in Minecraft. The company that makes Minecraft is extending its educational options for teachers and students to use during the pandemic, too. On a very serious note, the international nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has just launched a public library inside Minecraft where people can go to read the work of journalists who've been censored, persecuted and, and in the case of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, killed for speaking against repressive regimes. Thinking Funny Can Help You Be More Creative at Work. But Don't Try to BE Funny. (50:41)Guest: Peter McGraw, Professor of Marketing and Behavioral Econ, University of Colorado Boulder, Director of the HuRL (Humor Research Lab)We're all looking for a bit of relief in these confusing and chaotic times. But humor is tricky because it can come off as tone deaf. Somebody's bound to be offended by whatever light you try to make of a tough situation. Word of advice – do not be that person in your office right now cracking wise. In fact, trying to be funny is a terrible business strategy, says Peter McGraw. Teacher Burnout (1:14:26)Guest: Steve Hydon, Clinical Professor in Field Education Focused on Child Welfare, Secondary Traumatic Stress, and Social Work Practice in Schools.Teachers are exhausted. And it started even before COVID-19. Some fo it More than half of Americans say they experienced some kind of trauma in childhood. Teaching is a stressful job—there's no doubt about that. But what happens when the stress goes beyond lesson plans and grading? Secondary Traumatic Stress is defined by the National Child Trauma Stress Network as “the emotional duress that results when an individual hears about the firsthand trauma experiences of another," and as it turns out, teachers are particularly susceptible. Helping Kids With Emotional Self-Regulation (1:30:08)Guest: Rachel Wadham, Host, Worlds Awaiting on BYUradio, Education and Juvenile Collections Librarian, BYU
Avoiding a Midlife Crisis (0:00:00)There are two words that strike fear into the hearts of nearly every adult: midlife crisis. During this time of our lives, it's common for negative thoughts to cloud our memory. We begin to think: what have I really done with my life? Am I told old todo the things I love anymore? It's perfectly natural to worry about the future, but you don't have to go through a crisis according to our next guest Dr. Robi Ludwig. Dr. Ludwig is a nationally renowned psychotherapist who has helped many adults through their life crises. She's here to talk about how we can feel good about ourselves no matter how old we are. Overtone Singing (0:16:01)What do the Tuvan people of rural Russia, the Inuit people of Canada and Alaska, and the Bantu people of South Africa have in common? It's not what you might expect! It's a style of singing called overtone singing. With us today to explain the history of this fascinating sound is Jim Cole, an overtone singer and the founder of Spectral Voices. Cyber Security while Traveling (0:32:25)Studies show that in the year 2019, $2 trillion worth of damages were lost in cybercrimes. Two trillion dollars. I don't know about you, but hearing this makes me feel both nervous and vulnerable. While we may know basic cyber security protocol, how much do we know about our cyber safety while away from home? Here with us today is Matthew Bradley, a 14-year member of the CIA and current Regional Security Director for International SOS, to share how we can maintain our cybersecurity while traveling. Thrifting (0:50:39)Lisa and Richie chat about their experiences going thrift shopping when they were younger. Saying No as a People Pleaser (1:05:04)To some extent, I think we all struggle with wanting to please other people. We want to be nice and helpful, but we also want to be liked. In fact, belonging and being loved are innate desires that we all have... so in order to fit in, we say yes. Yes to party invites, yes to being a PTA parent, or yes to taking on extra projects at work. But when we're always saying yes in the hopes that others will like us or to avoid confrontation, we end up neglecting our own needs. Joining us on the show today to teach us how to say no and stop people pleasing is Dr. Bradley Nelson, one of the world's foremost experts on natural methods of achieving wellness. Washing Sheets (1:23:13)We spend a third of our lives in our bedding, leaving behind 56 hours a week of sweat, body oil and dead skin cells. Keeping our sheets clean and maintained will only help us sleep better and stay healthy. But what's the best way to do this? We're going to talk with Kait Schulhof about how we can best keep our bedding clean and santitary. Kait is a cleaning expert and founder of the blog “A clean Bee”.
