„Naším úkolem není teď ochránit děti před hrůzou, která se na ně valí. Nějaká hrůza tu totiž bude vždycky.

Lejla Kraljević je suosnivačica i izvršna managerica kompanije Derubis iz Viteza, koja jedina u BiH proizvodi jahte i katamarane i karavane. Lejla je zajedno s mužem Denisom Kraljevićem, riječkim inovatorom i brodograditeljem, njegovo brodogradilište iz Rijeke preselila u Vitez i tamo nastavila proizvoditi njihove jahte i katamarane. U međuvremenu su, u vrijeme Covid 19 pandemije, u proljeće 2021., pokrenuli inovativnu proizvodnju karavana izrađenih u posebnoj tehnologiji odlijevanja, i proizveli su prve katamarane u svijetu u jednom dijelu, bez ikakvih dodataka, osim unutarnje opreme karavana. Svoj prvi Derubis karavan, jedinstvenu bh. kamp prikolicu svjetske klase, premijerno su predstavili u avgustu 2021. na svjetskom Sajmu karavana u Düsseldorfu. Za svoj inovativni karavan monokok dizajn najprije su dobili nagradu German Design Award-a u decembru 2024., a potom su krajem maja 2024. osvojili prestižnu njemačku nagradu za inovacije 2024. u Berlinu. Ta strelovita karijera ih je dovela i do saudijskih investitora, s kojima su ušli u joint venture partnerstvo, i izgradili prvu tvornicu jahti i karavana u Saudijskoj Arabiji. Ovo je presedan za saudijsko tržište i u vrijeme emitiranja ovog podcasta, krajem aprila 2025., Lejla u Saudijskoj Arabiji upravo otvara svoju prvu fabriku izvan BiH. O njihovoj viziji da bosansko-hercegovačko znanje i umijeće, inovativnost i kreativnost, ponude na svjetskom tržištu, o tome kako su prevezli svoju prvu jahtu izgrađenu u Vitezu putem preko Vlašića, potom do luka u Roterdamu i na Floridi sve do konačne luke na Kostarici, te o drugim izazovima govorimo u ovom podcastu.U ovoj epizodi smo razgovarali o:00:00:00 Teaser i najava00:04:19 Kako je nastala ideja o brodogradilištu u Vitezu?00:10:40 U Covidu smo odlučili na temelju dizajna jahti napraviti karavane 00:14:25 Naš karavan je otvorio novo poglavlje u caravaning industriji00:18:45 Svjetsko tržište smo osvojili inovativnošću i dizajnom00:22:20 Naši karavani i jahte su 100% bh. proizvodi00:24:40 Naš dolazak na Caravan sajam u Dusseldorf 2021.00:29:20 Jedinstven monokok dizajn i tehnologija naših karavana je nastao na našem know how-u iz brodograditeljstva00:34:04 Na sajmu u Dusseldorfu smo bili "highlight" cijelog sajma00:36:50 U Saudijskoj Arabiji gradimo prvu tvornicu naših jahti i karavana00:38:42 Dvije godine poslije prvog sajma dobili German design award 00:48:49 Kakva je oprema u Derubis karavanu?00:53:05 Derubis karavan je izliven iz jednog dijela i siguran je na cesti00:58:45 Naša specifičnost je u ručnoj izradi naših majstora, zanatlija01:03.20 Djeci treba približiti zanatske poslove koji su danas cjenjeni 01:11:40 Svjetska krovna asocijacija u karavan industriji nas je primila u svoje članstvo iako nismo iz EU______________

Romi v Romuniji so druga največja etnična skupnost. Uradno jih je le dobrih 3%, ocenjujejo pa, da je romskega porekla kar okoli 10% ali okoli 2 milijona Romunov. Romi so začeli naseljevati Vlaško in Moldavijo v 14. stoletju, kjer so bili vse od svojega prihoda zasužnjeni. Suženjstvo v Romuniji so ukinili šele leta 1884, a so bili Romi preganjani ali vsaj potisnjeni na rob družbe vse do preloma tisočletja. Integracija Romov v romunsko družbo je proces, ki v Romunij poteka že vse od božične revolucije leta 1989. Zelo počasi, a poteka. Del tega proces je tudi romunska pravoslavna cerkev, ki uradno v svoje vrste do nedavnega ni sprejemala Romov. Dokler niso v duhovniški poklic februarja 2009, točno 153 let po uveljavitvi zakona, ki je končal suženjstvo Romov v Romuniji, posvetili prvega Roma, našega današnjega gosta v Evropi Osebno, Daniela Gango.

Ríos Live: El Jesús que no puedes ignorar V: La purificación del Templo - Pastor Jairo Carmona Texto: 2 vs.13-22 Los líderes religiosos y el pueblo habían perdido consciencia entre lo santo y lo profano, lo puro y lo impuro, lo común de lo sagrado, pues habían transformado la casa de Dios en un pequeño mercado lucrativo especialmente en tiempos de pascua. ¿Cuál fue la reacción de Jesús? Jesús tomó un azote e hizo una limpieza total de la casa de Dios además, les señaló su grave pecado I. La condición del Templo A. La condición esperada del Templo: - Debía ser el lugar más sagrado de adoración para los judíos - v.13 - Era el único templo y centro más grande adoración todo Israel La pascua atraía a cientos de miles de fieles judíos. Siendo la pascua una de las tres fiestas principales en el calendario judío, algunos estiman que la población ascendía de 50 mil a 150 mil personas. B. La condición actual del templo: De ser un lugar de adoración a ser un mercado - v.14 ¿Qué encontró Jesús en el templo? Bueyes, ovejas, palomas, cambistas, Jesús encontró un mercado. Lo malo no era su venta, sino que estaban EN EL TEMPLO. Dentro de aquel lugar que debía reverencias al Señor. ¿Puede usted imaginar el ambiente que envolvía a aquél lugar? C. La condición del templo nos comunica la condición espiritual de los líderes religiosos y gran parte del pueblo - La codicia de lo material y el menosprecio de Dios - Habían substituido la devoción por las ganancias financieras II. La limpieza del Templo A. Lo que Jesús hizo - v.15 Echó fuera a los mercaderes La Ira Santa de Dios manifestada de forma visible en el comportamiento de Cristo. Dios no tolera nuestra falta de devoción, reverencia y respeto en Su casa. Nadie, ni siquiera los líderes religiosos habían tenían tanta osadía, porque sólo Jesús podía decir que estaba en Su Casa. Solo Jesús miraba lo que otros no podían ver. Mientras Jesús hace estas cosas NADIE dice una palabra. Muchos seguramente lo reprobaban, pero otros quizá lo aplaudían. ¿Deberíamos nosotros mostrar un poco más de reverencia en las cosas de Dios? ¿Por qué no dejamos los celulares y tabletas a un lado para ofrecernos como sacrificio agradable a Dios? ¿Qué cosas Jesús debería sacar de nuestras propias vidas? B. Lo que Jesús dijo - v.16 Jesús ordena con autoridad que todas estas cosas sean removidas. Un imperativo que no está sujeto a cuestionamiento. Jesús llama el Templo "La casa de Mi Padre". Nadie más llamaba el templo la Casa del Padre, porque nadie más podía ser hijo de Dios sino atreves de la adopción de Su Unigénito Hijo. C. Lo que Jesús comunicó - v.17 Celo profundo por las cosas sagradas. Él era el cumplimento del Salmo 69 v.9 III. La oposición en el Templo A. Se oponen cuestionando Su autoridad y demandando señal - vv.18 Probablemente eran las voces de los líderes B. La oposición fue sorprendida con una contra-demanda. - vv.19 "Destruid este templo y en tres dias lo levantaré" v.19a Ellos entendieron que Jesús se refería al templo fisico, Jesús se refería al templo de Su Cuerpo. v.21 Su cuerpo era el templo pero también Su cuerpo sería el sacrificio ofrecido por los pecados de la humanidad. Siempre que nos dispongamos a buscar la santidad en un pueblo religioso que ama el pecado, habrán oposiciones, excusas o cuestionarán su autoridad para hacer tal cosa. Avivemos un celo santo por el templo de nuestro cuerpo para vivir en Santidad. Para remover de nuestras vidas toda obra pecaminosa, pues en nosotros habita el Espíritu Santo de Dios (I Corintios 6 v.19), nuestro cuerpo es casa de Dios, de modo que, debemos ser muy cuidadosos en la forma en como usamos nuestro cuerpo. Examinemos nuestras vidas con sinceridad y humildad, y busquemos la purificación de nuestras almas cada día en el perdón de nuestros pecados por medio de la sangre de Cristo (Efesios 1 v.7). #riosokc #rioslive #santidad

Welcome back Libration Nation! This week, we're delving into a classic piece of Southern writing with The Prince of Tides by the remarkable Pat Conroy. My guest this week is the amazing, award winning author, Laura Elliott, who I had the pleasure of interviewing while we both were attending the Virginia Library Association Conference last month. Laura really helped us hit a home run with tying the drink in, because she owns a copy of Pat Conroy's cookbook, and shared with me the recipe for Pat Conroy's Iced Fruit tea!Laura shared with me the ways that Pat Conroy impacted her writing, particularly her historical fiction novel Louisa June and the Nazis in the Waveswhich is set in tidewater Virginia and also won the Virginia Library Association Cardinal Cup Award in 2023. Listening to Laura talk about the historical events that framed her story while looking out at the water of Norfolk, realizing how close we were to where those events occurred, is something I don't think I'll ever get overLaura, also known L. M. Elliott was an award-winning, Washington-based magazine journalist, primarily covering women's issues, before becoming a New York Times best-selling author of historical and biographical fiction. Her novels explore a variety of eras (the Italian Renaissance, American Revolution, Great Depression, WWII, and the Cold War), and are written for a variety of ages.These works have won the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction, VLA's Cardinal Cup, and the Grateful American Book Prize; and been named NCSS/CBC Notables (National Council of Social Studies/Children's Book Council), Bank Street College of Education Best Books, Kirkus Bests, Jr. Library Guild Gold Selections, and received many starred reviews. Elliott holds a BA from Wake Forest University and a master's in journalism from UNC-Chapel Hill. She is a lifelong Virginian and history-lover.Laura Elliott shares a touching recount of her personal encounter with Pat Conroy, capturing his gracious spirit and the profound impact he had on her craft. Their conversation, much like Conroy's novels, was rich with storytelling and an appreciation for the nuances of human experience. In discussing "The Prince of Tides," Laura elaborates on the intricate themes and Southern settings that Conroy brings to life. The novel's protagonist, Tom Wingo, narrates a saga interwoven with familial struggles, the haunting legacy of mental illness, and the eternal tug of the natural world against societal constraints. Conroy's narrative prowess shines through as he paints vivid, albeit sometimes tragic, tapestries of life in the South. Laura segues this conversation into reflections on her own works, particularly her upcoming book Truth, Lies, and Questions in Between, showcasing how her journalistic roots and Conroy's influence weave into her storytelling style.Our conversation was not just about storytelling but also about the power of narratives to heal and connect. Books, like the tea we shared, offer a therapeutic escape—a thread of connection through time. As we hold onto these stories, let's remember how they can offer clarity in our storms, much like the stars guiding characters in Laura's story.If you enjoyed this episode, share it with friends, leave us your thoughts, and subscribe for more enriching discussions. Until next time, keep your tea iced and your bookshelf stocked!Pat Conroy's Iced Fruit Tea (makes 3 quarts)4 tea bags1 lemon1 orange, sliced, plus more for garnish1/2 pint strawberries or raspberries, plus more for garnish1 cup cubed fresh pineapple, plus more for garnish1.

Sedm různých lidí, sedm různých názorů. Výzkumníci z organizace Institut 2050 mají nová sociologická data o postojích Čechů k ochraně klimatu nebo k Zelené dohodě, podle čehož rozřadili českou populaci do sedmi skupin. Nejpočetnější skupinu výzkumníci nazvali Vlažní: změnu klimatu pociťují na vlastní kůži a chtěli by s ní něco dělat, s Green Dealem ale z různých důvodů nesouhlasí. Například Valerie Bromová se bojí, že opatření zhorší životní úroveň chudších lidí.

Láska se někdy objeví, jenom aby mohla brzy zmizet. Jindy ale s našimi těly chvěje a vibruje celý život. Kde se v nás bere chemie citu? Jak ovlivňují schopnost milovat sociální sítě? Promluví do toho i umělá inteligence? A je někdo neschopný lásky? Filip Titlbach si pozval do Studia N live na festivalu Regiony v Hradci Králové psychoterapeutku Vlaďku Bartákovou a vědeckého redaktora Deníku N Petra Koubského.

Velký Blaník nedaleko Vlašimi je tajemnou horou. Podle pověsti v ní po staletí dřímá vojsko. Až bude náš národ v nejvyšší tísni, otevře se takzvaná Veřejová skála, rytíři uvnitř se probudí, pod velením svatého Václava vyrazí proti nepřátelům a všechny vyženou.

Today on part two of our encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we again talk to Alison Martino, daughter of singer Al Martino and guardian of her beloved LA and her Vintage Los Angeles social media properties. And because both Alison and host josh Mills are die hard denizens of the city of angels, there is a lot (and we mean a lot) of hand wringing over the changes that have happened to the city over the last few decades. Of course we continue our conversation about what it was like growing up as the daughter of her popular singer pop as we again delve into Paramount+'s The Offer about the making of The Godfather. Or maybe it was the maiming of The Godfather. Well, it depends on the viewer of course. We also get into old  schoolLas Vegas and how it worked when it was run by ‘the outfit' rather than corporations, why Vegas wasn't on the Martino touring circuit and more. So sit back and take a second listen to the second part of our interview with Alison Martino. Another child of a celebrity, interviewed by the child of a celebrity. Take a listen.

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Alison Martino for the second time about growing up the daughter of singer/actor Al Martino. As the founder of Vintage LA, Alison has created an online juggernaut that has hundreds of thousands of fans wanting to know more about significant current landmarks as well as lost LA as well. We spoke to Alison in part one of this conversation on the heels of the Paramount+ series The Offer, which is based on the alleged story behind bringing The Godfather to the big screen. Of course, Al Martino plays the role of Johnny Fontaine in Part One and sings “I Have But One Heart” in the film. We also delve into her founding VLA and how it started almost as a lark. We also speak to Alison about her other gig, on Spectrum TV, bringing television viewers a slice of Los Angeles on the small screen in addition to devices of all kinds. It was great to talk to Alison, someone whose passion for LA is found in her collection of menu's, matchbooks, ephemera and other collections she passionately collects. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast and everyone has a story. Here's part one of our Alison Martino interview, now.

Protože je 5. prosince, mnoho českých náměstí a obýváků k večeru zaplní tři postavy: Mikulášové, andělé a čerti. Dětí se budou ptát, jestli zlobily. A pokud ano, vysvětlí jim, že si je čert může odnést do pekla. Jak dětské oči chápou namaskovanou příšeru, která je možná ukradne rodičům? Co tahle tradice dělá s dětskou psychikou? A je vůbec dobrý nápad probouzet v dětech strach? Filip Titlbach se ptá sociální psycholožky a psychoterapeutky Vlaďky Bartákové.

Radio telescopes around the world are listening for the whispers of other civilizations. That includes the Very Large Array — a set of 27 radio dishes that acts as a single giant telescope. The VLA is conducting a survey of most of the sky. And a few months ago, scientists who are hunting for civilizations in other star systems began tapping into that survey. They're looking at narrow sets of frequencies that are the most likely to have an intelligent origin. Scientists also are pondering whether other civilizations could hear us. We produce a constant radio “haze,” including the drone of billions of cell phone calls. And a team recently looked at whether any close-by civilization might be able to “eavesdrop” on those calls. The team looked at the radio waves that leak into space from some of the most powerful cell-phone towers. It calculated whether that leakage could be picked up by Earth-like radio telescopes at three nearby star systems, including the two closest, Alpha Centauri and Barnard's Star. The team found that the signals fade away before they reach any of those stars — you'd need more advanced technology to hear them. But the team is extending its work to include other types of Earthly transmissions, including military radar, orbiting satellites, the network that talks to deep-space missions, and future cell towers. That should tell us whether Earth is loud enough to be heard by ET.  Script by Damond Benningfield   Support McDonald Observatory
