Terme Snovik - Piccolo angolo di relax

Le migliori per economicità e veri momenti di relax

Stufi delle solite terme super pattinate, all’ultimo grido? Allora continuate a leggere perché a volte la semplicità è quella che paga di più. In questo caso sto parlando delle Terme Snovik, piccolo centro termale vicino a Kamnik, incastonato in una verde vallata a ridosso dei monti. Sicuramente dal grande pubblico son poco conosciute e per molti anche un po’ fuori mano rispetto al resto dei…

6 Kasım 2024 VakıfBank Calcit Kamnik Maçı

*VakıfBank Spor Sarayı'nda saat 19:30'da başlayacak olan CEV Kadınlar Şampiyonlar Ligi 4. Tur C Grubu birinci maçı. Turnuvadaki en başarılı takımımız yeni sayfasını açıyor. Geçen yılki hüsrandan sonra bu sefer hedef yine zirve yolculuğu. Slovenya ekibi karşısında iyi sonuçla başlayalım inşallah. Yürek dolusu başarılar dileriz temsilcimize.

*Tivibu Spor 3'ten naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.

*İlk seti 25-21 kazandı temsilcimiz ve 1-0 öne geçti. Kamnik etkili girmişti maça. 5-1'den sonra VakıfBank'ın 5 sayılık serisi geldi. Ardından ortada giden bir kapışma izledik. 20-19 onların üstünlüğünden sonra 6-1'lik sekans yapmayı başardık ve tecrübemizi konuşturduk.

*İkinci sette 25-22'ye imza atan Calcit Kamnik durumu 1-1 yaptı. İlk setten bunun sinyaller gelmişti. Slovenya ekibi etkili bir oyun çıkardı. Hatta seti 25-15'te de bitirebilirlerdi. 24-15'in ardından VakıfBank 7 sayılık seri yaparak uyandı. Yine de konuk ekibe tek sayı yetecekti ve öyle oldu. Bunu bir nazarlık sayalım ve günü daha fazla uzatmayalım.

*Üçüncü set 25-15 bizim oldu ve 2-1 ile yeniden üstün duruma taşındık. Onların yapamadığı skoru biz yaptık adeta. Beklediğimiz VakıfBank oyunu geldi ve baştan sona önde oynayarak seti aldık. Şimdi de işi bitirme zamanı olsun. Haydi!

*Dördüncü sete 25-12'lik imzamızı attık ve maçı 3-1 kazanarak galibiyetle grubu açtık. Karşılıklı sayılarla geçen ilk bölüm vardı. 8-7 onlar öndeyken 3 sayılık mini bir seri gerçekleştirdik. Oradaki avantajımızı bir daha hiç vermeden günü sonlandırmayı başardık. Tebrik ediyoruz takımımızı.

Most people are dual. They pendulate between a hands-up complacent deadness and the bright hateful heat of being alive. Tadej knows that then, above dyads, they hang in triads, stars. Child’s mobiles, God and other things. Cold, yielding, dead. Hot, angry, something. He quivers thinly between. Skill. It must be because he is young. When his brother went cold, they were also young. Then for a brief time he swung into the blinding heat. Perhaps to live. Or he thinks of an equilibrium.

The man drinks at the table, alone, not-real. Not-real how quickly Tadej sees it either that his pendulum is stuck. He is slow, undeliberate and pale. He is thin, with a gold cross on his neck. He has no undershirt: through the tissue cotton the slope of his rib. 

The man pinches the pendant. Trinity in itself which is why he must hold it there, God over his slow heart: Tadej has sharp pattern-recognition. I saw you in a book, once. I saw you on the road, once, maybe with blood. Maybe on the ground. He watches, maybe for a while, then sits.

Slowly the man acknowledges his acknowledgement.

“And you, kid. From Kamnik?” His voice is open mouthed, wandering. His voice looks while he keeps his eyes in one place.

“Closer to Komenda,” Tadej says.

“Do you smoke?”

“With my father,” he assents, sitting across from him. He looks at Tadej for a while, but if he is thin Tadej is too long in the arms and legs.

“Is there good work on the farms in Komenda?”

“I work in the summer, then I go to school, in Ljubljana. Class of 58.”

He blinks. A sluggish, dark motion. His face is too slender for his hands, which crinkle in the palms paperlike while he pulls a cigarette from the box. The shadow from his eyes pools under his cheeks. Tadej dresses a smile. Takes it in his lips and on his tongue.

“University?”

Tadej looks at him and the motion of his ribs butterflying for his breath, tectonic, slow. He does not move wastefully. This is abnormal, Tadej thinks, to be so stuck. Like a broken clock in some ways. Many such men since the war. Many such men buried in the earth or in time. Five minutes walk south of here there are hundreds under the grass. They of course do not say this. There are many things people can’t say anymore and any more I would have never been able to say.

“I look like I’m still in grammar school?”

The man shrugs. His shoulders point. The curve of a bird’s wing. “I think. Your face.”

“I’m twenty in September.” The ting-shkk of a lighter, and then Tadej sips in the smoke. Hot in his mouth it slips past the inner cooling in his throat, it greets itself in a long curl. 

“Your name?”

“Tadej,” he says. When the man looks expectant (surname?), he just blinks and smiles in response.

“Why do you smile so much, Tadej?”

“Do you think I’m trying to con you?”

“An act,” he says.

“Well. And your name?” The man in response stares. He is still unreal like superstition. He could be handsome, if he were not dead. “What, you think I’ll steal it?”

“Primož.”

“Alright. Why don’t you smile at all, Primož?” He says nothing, pinches his cigarette between his fingers and exhales, one long expiration.

Then Tadej tries: “Do you ever see your headless shadow?”

“I don't believe in superstition. I don’t look,” he replies.

“Okay.” He sighs down smoke. “Can I have coffee?”

“Yes, I’ll pay for coffee.” He goes to the door back to the kitchen, knocks on the frame. The light there falters yellow, cyclically. The woman back there chatters about: it is getting late, Primož. Oh, that is just Tadi. Our little cricket. He talks to everyone. He is like a housecat, he’ll make noise until you feed him.

He comes back with coffee in both of his hands. “There is, ah, a little brandy in it,” he cautions. “But you’ll probably want to sleep soon.”

“Thank you,” he says, honest.

“Now you will have to answer my questions.”

“And you thought I was just an act!”

“Well! What do you study.”

“History.”

“Well, uh. I have heard that the universities. What do they call it. Well, the layoffs.”

“I don’t think very hard about that. I study stories and folklore. I did papers on this, the Ljubljana dragon. You know.”

“Children’s stories,” Primož says, so flatly that it does not even carry the air of skepticism.

“I thought I looked like a child.”

“Well,” he reasons, studying his one hand on the mug. “Now you don’t.” Suddenly, his voice swerves uncomfortable.

Tadej rushes, “Joking”.

Wooden Kašča with cellar

Kamnik, Slovenia

This unusual 19th-century granary is elevated atop a tall masonry base providing additional cellar storage. Its asymmetrical roof extension once protected stored wood or other farm materials, or a workspace. The horizontal timbers at the base of the raised granary extend outward into this covered area, giving support to other spanning members. The original condition of this kašča, and its semi-enclosed extension, is depicted in documentation of the Tuhinj Valley granaries by Slovenian ethnographers Majda and Peter Fister (1969, 1973).

Oh yes, people are indeed generally quite surprised when they hear about a party forming 3 months before the elections and then winning.

But for us in Slovenia this "experimental" approach comes as no surprise, because that has already happened before ... twice

To bring out a graph I've already posted here before:

These are the results of the parliamentary elections since 1992, with the paries approximately ideologically arranged: the aquamarine of DeSUS serves as an approximate centrist dividing line between the left-leaning parties below it (DL is a notable centrist exception, but I liked its downward curve there lol) and right-leaning parties above it)

There's quite a mess in the bottom part of this graph. That is the left-leaning voting block, which has chosen to rally behind a different party in every consecutive election after 2008 – following the collapse of LDS, the OG centre-left party that ruled from 1992 to 2004 (with a short, half-year intermission in 2000), back in 2006~2007 – being dissapointed with the results each time:

PS, which won the most votes in 2011, was established a bit more than 2 months before the elections by Zoran Janković, the mayor of the capital Ljubljana (2006–2011, 2012– ). What followed was one of the weirdest sequences of events in Slovenian political history* (though definitely not the weirdest one).

SMC, which won the most votes in 2014, was established a bit more than 1 month before the elections by Miro Cerar, a highly respected legal scholar.

LMŠ, which didn't win even close to the most votes in 2018 (but ended up leading the government), was the party of the mayor of Kamnik, Marjan Šarec, who had worked as a political satirist before going into politics himself (most prominently, he was a famous imitator of Slovenian politicians – well, mostly:

). His national-level political project started a bit earlier as a surprisingly effective challenge to the incumbent Borut Pahor at the 2017 presidential elections (though the latter did end up winning), carrying that political potential into the 2018 parliamentary elections.

GS, which won the most votes in 2022, was, as mentioned, established 3 months before the elections by Robert Golob after Janša made him (practically out of nowhere) into his direct opponent (the the post in the link above).

So, the continual emergence of left-leaning parties at every election is not a surprise anymore at this point, it's a pattern. Which can be frustrating, but it does also mean that when people (especially in the foreign press) see the consistently high results of Janša's SDS and think that that means that party is going to win the next election, that's deceiving. Despite SDS's consistent results, we've only had right-wing governments for about 8 of the 33 years of independent Slovenia (1991–92, 2000, 2004–8, 2012–13, 2020–22).

*In 2011 Janković failed to form a coalition and we had to endure 1 year of Janša, before his govt collapsed and PS did eventually take over, with its then-president Alenka Braušek becoming PM – the Janša govt collapsed because of the opening of a corruption investigation regarding both Janša and Janković; Bratušek took over PS while the charges against Janković were being investigated. In a turn of events that are hard to conceive of, a year later, when the corruption commission didn't find anything, Janković challenged Bratušek for the presidency of the party, while she was the sitting prime minister of the country. She lost the party election, splintering the party in two, with a significant part of the PS membership (including Robert Golob, interestingly enough) following her in forming her own party (ZaAB, later SAB). In the process, she resigned as PM, triggering snap-elections. PS, which received 28.51% of the vote in 2011, failed to reach the 4% threshold in 2014 (literally decimating its support down to 2.97%), falling into obscurity, while ZaAB did get into parliament (barely, with 4.38%).

Bratušek was again successful with getting into parliament in 2018, before being swallowed up by Golob's GS in 2022 (quite literally: after its electoral failure, SAB – together with LMŠ – officially merged with GS in June 2022). She is currently the Minister of Infrastructure. Janković is still the mayor of Ljubljana.
