Overlooking mosses is overlooking so many important aspects of ecosystem function. From nutrient cycles and seed banks to erosion control and atmospheric composition, mosses can play important roles. But how do we go about understand moss ecology in this way? Dr. Mandy Slate starts with their traits. How do you scale from moss adaptations for dehydration to things like carbon and nitrogen cycles? Tune in and find out!

Bryophytes, AKA mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are ubiquitous components of ecosystems around the world yet they are all too often underappreciated. Luckily, people like Brittney Miller are doing everything in their power to change that. What started with immense frustration turned into a life-long love affair with all things bryophyte. Join us for a wonderful deep dive into the secret world of these tiny plants.

Šioje laidoje veža kalbamės apie tai, kas dažnai matoma, tačiau vis dar nesuprantama. Apie garsus ir judesius, kurių neįmanoma tiesiog sulaikyti. Apie gyvenimą, kuriame kartais labiau skauda ne simptomai, o žmonių reakcijos. Apie Tureto sindromą ir gyvenimą su juo papasakoja Brigita Baužaitė, VšĮ „Nesislėpk“ vadovė, ir Paulina Danilevičiūtė, turinti Tureto sindromą.Abi merginos atvirai dalijasi savo asmeninėmis patirtimis, atskleidžia, kokie mitai apie Tureto sindromą ir tikus girdimi dažniausiai, ir sako: „ Ne visada žinai viską, ką matai. Dažniausiai priežastis to, ką matai, yra nematoma. Jei matote žmogų, kuriam yra tikai ar jis skleidžia nevalingus garsus, nesakykite „nusiramink“, tai tikrai nepadės. Ir klausimas, kodėl tu taip elgiesi, taip pat nereikalingas“.Ved. Žydrė Gedrimaitė.

"Esmu ceļiniece gan tiešā, fiziskā nozīmē, gan arī savā prātā, domās, dvēselē. Īpaši pēdējo gadu laikā ārkārtīgi daudz ceļoju savā iekšējā pasaulē – un ļoti daudz meklēju. Pēc savas dabas, pēc būtības esmu tāda, kurai patīk nākt pie cilvēkiem, kurai patīk runāt, kurai patīk burbuļot un vidžināt, bet to šobrīd nevēlos nemaz... To, kā šobrīd jūtos, ko sev jautāju, kādas atbildes rodu vai vēl neesmu radusi – to visu šeit var dzirdēt," neslēpj pasaulslavenā ērģelniece Iveta Apkalna, intervijā "Klasikas" direktorei Gundai Vaivodei stāstot par savu jaunāko albumu, kurā sastopas Pētera Vaska un Arvo Perta mūzika. Tas ir klusināta miera un iekšējās gaismas muzikāls apliecinājums – ceļojums klusumā, ticībā un bezgalībā. Jaunais albums ierakstīts Ventspils koncertzālē "Latvija", bet izdots prestižajā izdevniecībā "Berlin Classics". Tas iezīmē vēsturisku notikumu Latvijas muzikālajā ainavā – pirmo Ventspils koncertzāles majestātisko ērģeļu ierakstu!  Albuma oficiālās atvēršanas svētki notika 13. februārī Vācijā, bet Latvijā tā vaļā vēršanu ieskandinās Ivetas Apkalnas solokoncerts 21. februārī. Protams, Ventspils koncertzālē "Latvija". Spoguļattēls tam, kā šobrīd jūtas Gunda Vaivode: "Viatore" ir viens no skaņdarbiem, kas iekļauts tavā jaunajā albumā. Ceļinieks. Iveta, tu arī esi ceļiniece? Un no kurienes tu tagad esi atceļojusi?  Jā, es esmu ceļiniece gan tiešā, fiziskā nozīmē, gan arī savā prātā, domās, dvēselē. Īpaši pēdējo gadu laikā ārkārtīgi daudz ceļoju savā iekšējā pasaulē – un ļoti daudz meklēju. Fiziski šobrīd esmu atceļojusi no Berlīnes. Interesanti, ka Pētera Vaska "Viatore" bija mana paša pirmā albuma centrālais skaņdarbs! Un nejauši, patiešām par to neaizdomājoties un neplānojot, es to esmu iekļāvusi savā jaunākajā albumā, neapzinoties šī nosaukuma un skaņdarba "Ceļinieks" patieso, īsto būtību un jēgu šībrīža kontekstā: proti, tas ir spoguļattēls tam, kā es šobrīd jūtos... Tad secīgi bija Perta "Spiegel am Spiegel", kas ir otrs centrālais skaņdarbs šajā diskā. Tieši šie divi darbi ar savām trauslajām, bet emocionāli spēcīgi uzrunājošajām notīm iezīmē augšupeju un spoguļattēlā – mazu lejupslīdi: un visu laiku, šiem mazajiem motīviem mijoties, notiek maģija… Tā nu es ceļoju. Un to, kā šobrīd jūtos, ko sev jautāju, kādas atbildes rodu vai vēl neesmu radusi – to visu var dzirdēt šajā albumā… Abi jubilāri – Arvo Perts, kam jubileju svinējām pērn, un Pēteris Vasks, kuram 80. dzimšanas dienu svinēsim 16. aprīlī – ir tā sauktās jaunās vienkāršības pārstāvji. Tu pēc dabas esi ļoti temperamentīga. Ir sajūta, ka tev, ieskaņojot šo albumu, bijis jānorimst…  Jā, jā! Domāju arī, ka lielākais vairums manu sekotāju – koncertu līdzbraucēji un klausītāji – uzdos sev šo jautājumu: kāpēc pēkšņi šāda izvēle? Jo kādam tas tiešām varētu šķist arī pārsteidzoši. Tu ļoti precīzi pajautāji! Visi Arvo Perta skaņdarbi, kas iekļauti šajā albumā, patiesībā ir komponēti tieši tajā laikā, kad es piedzimu – tas ir 1976. gads. Arī 1978., 1980. gads. Tam, iespējams, ir kāda dziļāka nozīme jeb tas ir spoguļattēls, kāpēc es šobrīd, tuvojoties savai dzīves jubilejai, raugos iekšēja miera virzienā, sevis un sava ego malā nolikšanas virzienā, un tik ļoti nealkstu pēc tām vizuļojošajām, burbuļojošajām pasāžu kaskādēm un galvu reibinošajām, žilbinošajām, skrejošajām un virtuozajām notīm un treļļiem, kuru, protams, neiztrūkst manos koncertos joprojām. Bet tas, kas mani uzrunā visvairāk, ir, lūk, šis te trauslums un spēks vienlaicīgi. Šajos skaņdarbos, kurus komponējuši lielie meistari Arvo Perts un Pēteris Vasks, tikai noliekot malā savu ego, varam atrast patieso un dzidro šīs mūzikas kristālu un izprast, interpretēt un aiznest līdz klausītājam šīs mūzikas būtību. Jo šādā mūzikā ērģelnieks ļoti maz reprezentē sevi – ko bieži vien sagaidām Lista virtuozajos opusos, arī žilbinošajās Baha fūgās. Bet patiešām: lai saprastu šo skaņdarbu patieso būtību un vēstījumu, man ir jāpakāpjas malā. Ar manu temperamentu tieši tas jau ir tas grūtākais! Jo pēc savas dabas, pēc būtības esmu tāda, kurai patīk nākt pie cilvēkiem, kurai patīk runāt, kurai patīk burbuļot un vidžināt. Bet to šobrīd nevēlos nemaz... Man šķiet, šī mūzika atnāca pie manis īstajā laikā. Es to nemeklēju. Bet tad, lūkojot šīs mūzikas un katra skaņdarba stāstu – un katram no šiem skaņdarbiem ir savs stāsts –, es tajos saredzēju tik daudz paralēļu, ka man šķita – nu, tiešām nav nejaušību šai dzīvē un mākslā!  Ar ērģelēm, tāpat kā puķēm, ir jāsarunājas Uz kurām ērģelēm tu esi šo albumu ierakstījusi? Ak jā – tas arī ir ļoti, ļoti būtisks aspekts un lielums ērģelnieka ierakstos! Šajā gadījumā tas ir instruments, kas sen jau bija pelnījis tikt ierakstīts albumā un iemūžināts taustāmā un netaustāmā formātā, un tās ir Filipa Klaisa radītās ērģeles Ventspils koncertzālē "Latvija". Šī koncertzāle, kura tūdaļ svinēs sesto dzimšanas dienu, iemantojusi ļoti stabilu vietu koncertzāļu ģeogrāfijā šeit, Latvijā. Tā ērģeles, kuras man bijušas sava veida krustbērns to tapšanas brīdī, ilgi gaidīja ērģeļu solo programmas ieskaņojumu kompaktdiskā. Turklāt iznācis ne tikai kompaktdisks, bet arī skaņu plate! Albuma un plates oficiālie atklāšanas svētki notika manā laimīgajā 13. datumā – 13. februārī, bet ieskaņot to sākām pagājušā gada 13. jūlijā. Un arī pats pirmais mans albums tika ieskaņots 2003. gada 13. jūlijā.  Varbūt kādam būs interesanti salīdzināt Pētera Vaska "Ceļinieka" interpretācijas – kā tas skanēja tolaik, un kā tas skan tagad, pie Ventspils koncertzāles ērģelēm – varenajām, bet tanī pat laikā pārsteidzoši siltajām, ieskaujošajām ērģeļu skaņām. Pat ne skaņām – tie ir mirkļi, kurus šīs ērģeles dāvā caur savu skanējumu. Arī pārsteiguma mirkļi, kurus pati sev joprojām tur rodu un pārsteidzu sevi. Līdz pat šim brīdim, spēlējot uz šī instrumenta, nevienā brīdī man nav ne reizi bijis jautājuma, kā radīt šo vai citu krāsu.  Tieši gribēju vaicāt – vai reģistrus uz tām ir viegli piemeklēt? Un vai ir kāda īpaša krāsa tieši Ventspils ērģelēm? Šīm ērģelēm mīļākie tembri, mīļākā noskaņa, mīļākās krāsas ir tās klusinātākās un arī dziļais bass, kurš varbūt daudziem šķistu par dziļu, par vibrējošu, par pārāk tālskanīgu, bet man tieši šī amplitūda no dziļuma līdz pašām spicajām augšām šķiet kā īsta emociju jūra, kurā, atkarībā no gadalaika, atkarībā no diennakts laika, atkarībā no tā, vai ir saullēkts vai saulriets, spēju atrast nepieciešamo krāsu. Un burvīgā kārtā jāsaka, ka šīs ērģeles tiek ļoti labi apkoptas un uzturētas! Kas to dara?  Tas ir grūts jautājums, jo nav jau tik daudz meistaru, kuri Latvijā to dara ikdienā, un Ventspils nav galvaspilsēta Rīga... Taču mani ļoti nomierina fakts, ka vismaz reizi gadā uz Ventspili – arī šoreiz – atbrauc kāds no Bonnas, no ērģeļbūves firmas "Philipp Klais Klais Orgelbau GmbH & Co KG", un šo instrumentu uzrauga un aprūpē. Tā ir lielā nepieciešamā tehniskā apkope, kā mēs to sauktu automašīnas gadījumā. Taču arī ikdienā atrasts risinājums – ir cilvēki, kuri liek lietā gan savu ausi, gan savas rokas. Un pats galvenais un svarīgākais ir tas, ka ērģeles tiek regulāri spēlētas – tie ir Ventspils Mūzikas vidusskolas audzēkņi, kuri tās tiešām darbina, jo ar ērģelēm, tāpat kā ar puķēm mājās, ir jāsarunājas – tās nedrīkst vienkārši ieslēgt ik pa laikam! Un Ventspilī tas tiek arī darīts. Albuma ieraksta skaņu režisors bija tavs dzīvesbiedrs Jenss Šūnemanis, ar ko saprotaties bez vārdiem. Tas taču ir atvieglojoši, ja varat būt kopā arī šādā radošā procesā? Jā, tas ir atvieglojums, bet vienlaikus, strādājot kopā ar Jensu, vienmēr jūtos kā pie stingra, prasīga pedagoga… Jo zinu: ja reiz ir viens cilvēks uz šīs pasaules, kurš tiešām vislabāk zina mani kā mūziķi – ne tikai kā cilvēku, pazīst manas spējas un izturību, tad tas ir Jenss! Un es nevaru noblefot, teikdama, ka man vairs nav spēka un šis man varētu būt par daudz… Jo Jenss zina, cik daudz es varu! (Smejas.) No vienas puses tā ir laba provokācija, ko, ar viņu strādājot, varu sagaidīt. Es zinu, ka viņš gan tiešā, gan pārnestā nozīmē saliks visu pa plauktiņiem. Bet tas, protams, ir liels, liels atvieglojums – strādāt abiem kopā. Jo tieši tas jau ir tas, ko ieraksta procesā vēlas katrs mūziķis – lai ir kāds, kurš ne tikai ieskaņo ierakstu, bet pazīst arī tevi kā mākslinieku, indivīdu un spēj aizvest līdz maksimāli labam rezultātam; kurš tevi atver tā, lai tu spēj noticēt saviem spēkiem un saproti, ka tā nav tikai viņa vēlme jeb ārēju spēku radīta nepieciešamība – šo vai to izdarīt savādāk –, bet tā ir TAVA pārliecība. Un tas bieži vien ir lielākais deficīts, sadarbojoties ar skaņu režisoriem: jo nepietiek tikai ar norādēm "ātri", "lēni", "klusu", "skaļi", "par augstu", "par zemu"… Mums patiešām ir vajadzīgs personiskais, individuālais stāsts un ticība – visvairāk jau sev. Ja ticam sev, tad arī ierakstā to sapratīs un sajutīs klausītājs. Klausītāju apskauti Filmā, ko veidojuši mūsu Latvijas Sabiedriskā medija kolēģi, redzam, cik trauksmaina ir tava dzīve, bieži vien pavadīta vilcienos un lidostās. Tev bijuši skaisti koncertbraucieni kopā arī ar mūsējiem, ar Valsts akadēmisko kori "Latvija". Mazliet ieskicē, kur tie bija un kur tas vēl būs? Patiešām ir tā, ka amplitūda, ģeogrāfija un temps nesamazinās, arī dzīves gadu skaitam pieaugot… Bet intensitāte, ar kādu vienu vai otru koncertu es personīgi izdzīvoju un gaidu – tā nu gan pieaug! Mūsu sadarbība un skaistā Eiropas tūre ar Valsts akadēmisko kori "Latvija" un Māri Sirmo vēl turpināsies – šos koncertus esmu visvairāk gaidījusi, jo zināju – tajos būs ne tikai muzikāls pārsteigums un dažkārt pat emocionāla katarse, kādu piedzīvojam uz skatuves: šajos koncertos tu jūti, ka satiecies ar skanisko organismu, kas nāk ne tikai no tavas valsts, kuram ne tikai ir tava mentalitāte, ne tikai tavi sirdspuksti, bet arī muzikāli ar to raugies vienā virzienā un spēj radīt – ne tikai rādīt vai parādīt. Tas mani visvairāk fascinē, sadarbojoties ar kori "Latvija" un Māri Sirmo. Skaistajos koncertos janvārī, kādus piedzīvojām Dortmundē, Luksemburgā, Frankfurtē, jutāmies klausītāju apskauti, apmīļoti un ļoti, ļoti gaidīti. Tie bija ļoti apmeklēti.  Kādu mūziku klausītājiem piedāvājāt? Gan franču, gan angļu, arī Bahs neizpalika. Un Pēteris Vasks. Daļa no šīs programmas būs dzirdama 26. aprīlī koncertzālē "Cēsis", kur smagsvars un galvenā harmoniskā krāsa būs Pētera Vaska mūzika un viņa jubileja. Tas bija ļoti skaists muzikāls ceļojums, kurā koris un ērģeles sastapās kā divi orķestri, kā divi solisti. Visi koncerti notika tikai koncertzālēs. Tas man personīgi ir gan izaicinājums, gan prieks, jo ar kori fiziski esmu kopā uz skatuves – blakus diriģentam, priekšā dziedātājiem. Redzu katru acu pāri, katru muti, skaisti safrizētos dāmu matus, kas mūzikai viļņojas līdzi un arī dzied… Un tik ārkārtīgi saviļņojoši, kā reaģē publika! To visu koncertzālē var izjust daudz, daudz intensīvāk. Turpinājumā dosimies arī uz Zagrebu, Vīni un Londonu, gaidāmi arī koncerti Budapeštā un nākamgad – Prāgā. Tas ir tik skaists ceļojums un iespēja skanēt Latvijai – kā korim "Latvija" un Latvijai kā valstij. Tas man ir pagodinoši. Olimpiāde satuvina Zinot tavu sportisko ģimeni: vai jums iznāk arī sekot Olimpiskajām spēlēm un latviešu panākumiem tajās? O jā, protams, mēs sekojam un joprojām sekojam, un ne tikai latviešu panākumiem! Bērnus ļoti aizkustināja Latvijas hokeja komanda, kura vinnēja Vāciju. Par šo jau bija lielais prieks. Tas bija ļoti, ļoti saviļņojoši. Ļoti patīk viss, kas saistīts ar slalomu. Arī kamaniņu sports. Bet man joprojām lielais bērnības sapnis un aizraušanās ir daiļslidošana: esmu pilnīgi tajā visā iekšā un gribētu būt vēl vairāk. Tajā pašā 13. februārī, kas bija viens no nervus kutinošākajiem daiļslidošanas vakariem – vīriešu  sacensības, man bija jābūt uz skatuves. Un es patiešām paralēli Baham un Glāsam domāju, kas notiek slidotavā. (Smejas.) Vakarā to visu paspēju noskatīties atkārtojumā. Joprojām sekojam Olimpiādei, un mums ir žēl, ka tā ir tik reti. Mēs jau gribētu katru gadu, jo tā arī mūs apvieno uz viena dīvāna ne tikai vakarā, kad ir pāris minūtes brīva laika, bet visu cauru dienu, jo Olimpiādi var skatīties gan no rīta, gan vakarā, gan naktī – tā ir kā magnēts. Tas ir skaisti, ka sports un māksla – tās ir lietas, kas daudzus vieno, jo bieži vien, atrodoties pat vienā telpā, nepietiek laika, lai parunātos vai par kopā kaut ko pārdzīvotu. Tad nu šī ir tā lieta, ko mēs kopā pārdzīvojam! Vai tava meitiņa joprojām trenējas futbolā? Mana meitiņa joprojām trenējas futbolā, un vēl aizvakar skatījāmies arī UEFA Čempionu līgas spēli, kurā bija daudz pārdzīvojumu, bet uzvarēja pareizā komanda. (Sirsnīgi smejas.)  Uzbrukums "Goram" kā uzbrukums ģimenei Iveta, lai arī attālumā, tad noteikti seko līdzi notikumiem "Gorā" un Rēzeknē. Vai tev ir kāds savs sakāmais par šo situāciju? Ļoti sekoju. Un biju patīkami pārsteigta par to, cik ļoti mani tas ne tikai satrauca, bet sāpināja... Patīkami – tas varbūt nebūtu pareizais vārds šajā kontekstā – bet man tomēr tas ir jāsaka, jo "Goru" vienmēr esmu jutusi kā savu ģimeni; gan savu māksliniecisko, gan cilvēcisko ikdienu nespēju iedomāties bez "Gora"! Un ne tikai tamdēļ, ka "Gors" ir Rēzekne, ne tikai tamdēļ, ka man ir tas gods būt Rēzeknes Goda pilsonei, ieskandināt "Gora" koncertzāli un radīt savu festivālu, bet arī tamdēļ, ka, objektīvi raugoties, "Gors" visā Eiropas un pasaules koncertzāļu paletē ir ar ārkārtīgi daudzām plusa zīmēm! Šajā situācijā tas patīkamais bija, ka redzēju, cik ļoti man tas sāp – bija sajūta, ka iegriezts pirkstā un vai ka visu laiku kāds kāpj uz varžacīm. Jutos tā, ka jāaizstāv kāds no manas ģimenes – šo situāciju izjutu gandrīz fiziski sāpīgi. Tas viss iespaidoja gan manu Ziemassvētku prieku, gan Jaunā gada gaidīšanas sajūsmu. Nespēju būt mierā ar to, cik cilvēki var būt nepastāvīgi savos spriedumos, savos solījumos un arī savā nostājā. Mani pārsteidza, ka cilvēki, kas šo visu vētru iesāka, ir tie paši, kas radījuši kopā ar "Goru", kas priecājušies par "Gora" panākumiem un nupat, svinot festivāla "Organismi" 10. jubileju, solījuši, ka tā tam vienmēr būs būt! Un nepaiet ne pāris mēnešu, un tu sev uzdod jautājumu: vai tiešām mēs runājam par šiem pašiem cilvēkiem? Vai mēs tiešām runājam par šo situāciju, par šo pašu koncertzāli? Tas manī radīja apjukumu un šoku. Rakstīju vēstuli nu jau atstādinātajam Rēzekne mēram, parakstoties kā pilsētas Goda pilsone, nevis tikai kā mūziķe Iveta Apkalna, jo to sajutu kā savu pienākumu – paust savu viedokli. Atbildi neesmu saņēmusi līdz šim brīdim, bet ne par to ir stāsts. Stāsts ir par to, ka vēstulē atgādināju gan mūsu sarunas, gan arī to, ka objektīvi nav pamata visiem šiem izteikumiem. Nespēju raudzīties cilvēkiem acīs, kad viņi melo un katru dienu stāstīta jaunus stāstus. Tas aizvainojums un nepamatoto pārmetumu gūzma, kas bija jāpārdzīvo Diānai Zirniņai – kā kaut kas tāds spēj rasties! Šobrīd uzdodu sev jautājumu – vai festivālam "Organismi" būtu arī turpmāk; vai tam būt tādam, kāds tas bijis līdz šim; vai kaut kādā veidā nav jāpārstrukturējas. Bet man ir liels prieks, ka šobrīd darbs turpinās, un redzu kaut kādu cerību. Neteiktu, ka tā ir uzvara – tā ir tikai iespēja paiet solīti uz priekšu cerībā, ka mēs nepašļuksim. Bet tas, kā tas ir ieviļņojies un ko tas atstāj aiz sevis – tas man ir ļoti biedējoši: kā būs tālāk? Es to jūtu kā uzbrukumu savai ģimenei. Cerēsim, ka risinājums tiks rasts – iesaistoties Kultūras ministrijai, atbildīgajām institūcijām un arī sabiedrībai, kas bija ļoti patīkami... Tas bija ārkārtīgi patīkami – īpaši runājot par sabiedrību, kas dzīvo Rēzeknē. Tas bija saviļņojoši – dzirdēt un redzēt, kas tur notika! Patiešām cerams, ka visiem prātiem klātesot, tiks rasts vislabākais risinājums, kāds šobrīd vajadzīgs Rēzeknei, "Goram" un visiem, kuri tajā mīl klausīties labu mūziku, skatīties teātri un kino.  Tieši tā. Jo "Gors" ir tas magnēts, vilinātājs un rosinātājs, kāpēc daudzi vispār pirmo reizi savā dzīvē aizbraukuši uz Rēzekni. Un tādu bijis ļoti daudz. Varbūt tieši šis fakts ir tas pamata grauds, rosinātājs un motivētājs!

(Isaías 5:21).En la región de Timnat, al sur de Israel, una región donde los israelitas acamparon durante muchos años, hay una réplica en tamaño real del Santuario: el templo móvil que acompañó al pueblo de Israel durante cuarenta años y cuyas instrucciones detalladas para la construcción Dios había dado a Moisés en el Sinaí.Para una ilustración didáctica, como fue la del Santuario, Dios quería llevar a su pueblo a percibir la santidad de sí mismo y de su Ley eterna, que mostraba la gravedad del pecado y señalaba al Cordero. La obediencia debería ser la respuesta de gratitud a Dios por ese medio de salvación.Aarón, hermano de Moisés, era sumo sacerdote y padre de Nadab y Abiú. Por debajo de su padre, ellos eran los líderes espirituales más importantes en Israel. Habiendo sido llamados por Dios, subieron al Sinaí con Moisés y otros ancianos. Allí comprendieron la santidad, reverencia y seriedad necesaria para lidiar con las cosas sagradas. Esos privilegios hacían que su responsabilidad fuera grande ante Dios y el pueblo."La gran luz y los privilegios otorgados demandan reciprocidad de una virtud y santidad correspondientes a la luz recibida. [...] Las grandes bendiciones o los privilegios no debieran adormecer en la seguridad o la negligencia" (Elena de White, Patriarcas y profetas, pág. 374).Entonces una sombra se posó sobre la familia sacerdotal. Por una deliberada transgresión, Nadab y Abiú usaron fuego extraño en el incienso, en lugar del fuego encendido por Dios. Por ese grave pecado, no podrían salir impunes, y murieron fulminados por el fuego divino.Dios es amor, pero también es justicia. Nadab y Abiú habían experimentado las dádivas divinas del conocimiento y de las manifestaciones de Dios, y no habían desarrollado el hábito de la obediencia y la firmeza por lo que es recto.El Señor solo le permitió a Aarón que permaneciera en silencio por la muerte repentina de sus hijos. Cualquier otra manifestación demostraría simpatía por el terrible pecado que habían cometido, llevando al pueblo a murmurar. Dios reprueba la falsa simpatía por el pecador, que le disculpa el pecado, amortigua sus percepciones morales, disminuye el tamaño de su error y le impide buscar el arrepentimiento.Es peligroso condescender con la desobediencia. Al administrar tu hogar, no seas movida por la falsa simpatía, minimizando los errores explícitos de tus seres queridos, entorpeciendo la obra que el Espíritu Santo de Dios desea realizar en el corazón de ellos. ¡Sé un instrumento de salvación! 

In this standout episode of Next Steps 4 Seniors: Conversations on Aging, we’re bringing back an audience favorite: our eye-opening interview with Nurse Practitioner Liz Jackson from Henry Ford Hospital. Liz breaks down the B.E.F.A.S.T. method for spotting stroke symptoms early, dives into the different types of strokes, and explains why timing is everything when it comes to treatment. We also tackle the red flags of heart attacks, the sneaky signs of vascular disease (yes, even leg cramping!), and how managing conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes can be game-changers. Early detection = lives saved. This episode is packed with info that could protect you or someone you love. Every week brings two ways to grow: Tuesdays dive into the physical next steps with real-life guidance for seniors and families, and Fridays uplift the heart with spiritual and emotional next steps—encouragement, faith, and hope for the journey ahead.

Most of us don't set out to control people—we think we're helping. We say it's love, protection, or just wanting the best. But underneath, codependency often looks like playing God, trying to save others from pain so we don't have to feel it ourselves. In this episode, Justin and Abi get personal about the subtle ways control sneaks into relationships: when someone else's choices feel like a reflection on us, when regret from our past makes us overprotective, or when fear of future consequences drives us to intervene. Through honest stories about friends, family, and faith, they unpack why pain is sometimes the very teacher people need, and how trust, boundaries, and invitation create space for real growth. If you've ever exhausted yourself fixing others or confused control for love, this conversation will help you release the weight and find freedom in letting people be fully themselves.

Text me your thoughts or questions on this episode!Sitting down with Abi Dare to talk about her new book, Bring the Outside In, felt like having someone quietly turn on a light in rooms I thought I already understood. We started with the idea of nature in our homes, but very quickly moved far beyond the usual advice about adding more plants or maximizing daylight. Abi shows us how the landscapes we love can become a roadmap for every decision we make — from color palettes pulled from forest canopies and sunsets, to the mix of textures that make a space feel layered and alive. We explored curving shapes, reclaimed materials, and why a sleek piece of glass or metal can still feel deeply connected to the natural world. And then we went even deeper.We talked about prospect and refuge — that powerful instinct to feel protected while still being able to look out — and how it explains everything from our love of restaurant booths to the magic of a window seat. We discussed mystery and enticement, the importance of what you glimpse from one room to the next, and why transitions like hallways deserve far more attention than they usually get. My biggest takeaway? When you let nature lead, the pressure to “get it right” disappears. The choices start to feel intuitive. Personal. Grounded. Let nature do the heavy lifting.Download the free guide to Define Your Signature StyleBuy the book, "Slow Style Home"Learn more at our website Want to finally define your style?

Botanizing is a skill set that, like muscles, must be exercised regularly. Whether just starting out or a seasoned specialist, botanical ID takes repetition. That doesn't mean it has to be dry or boring! My guests today are Dr.'s Ben Goulet-Scott and Jacob Suissa of Let's Botanize. When they aren't teaching about and researching plants, they are producing lots of great videos helping to connect people to plants. Most recently, they have published a book titled "Let's Botanize: 101 Ways to Connect with Plants" with the goal of encouraging "readers to observe and appreciate the plant life around them, from their backyard to their commute." Join us for a fun look at why they wrote this book and how it can benefit newcomers and professionals alike.

Abi Asija is an entrepreneur, author, and operator best known for building a highly profitable land business grounded in simplicity, integrity, and consistent execution. Over the past eight years, Abi has completed more than 700 land transactions across the United States, growing his company into a seven-figure operation by focusing on fundamentals rather than hype or complexity.Abi is the author of The Land Business, where he distills hard-earned lessons from years of direct experience into clear, practical guidance for entrepreneurs looking to build durable, repeatable growth. His work emphasizes that sustainable success is rarely about secret tactics or aggressive scaling at all costs. Instead, Abi teaches that long-term wealth is built through goodwill, straightforward offers, speed of execution, availability to customers, and relentless consistency.

So many of us grow up believing that love means fixing, managing, or predicting other people. It feels safer to silence our needs than risk being "too much." But what if that survival strategy is actually what keeps us disconnected? In part two of this three part series, Justin and Abi continue their conversation on codependency, sharing how growing up in chaotic homes taught them to avoid vulnerability and chase the illusion of peace. They unpack what happens when we don't know our own needs, why denial keeps us stuck, and how self-awareness becomes the key to real connection. Along the way, they explore how faith often reinforced control and what it looks like to reframe love through trust, autonomy, and compassion. If you've ever felt like your very existence is a burden, or you're exhausted from controlling people in the name of care, this episode will help you find freedom and breathe again.

Journey back in time some 60 million years to the Cenozoic with Dr. Ellen Currano by looking at fossil leaves. Aside from just being cool, leaf fossils can tell us a lot about the ecology of long extinct ecosystems. For instance, leaf margins can tell you about things like temperature while leaf size can tell you about precipitation. Also, looking at fossilized insect damage can reveal important insights into how climate influences herbivory. Join us for a deep dive on the myriad scientific insights fossil leaves can provide.

In this episode, Julie Kratz discusses global workplace culture strategies with Abi Adamson, founder of the Culture Partnership and a LinkedIn Top Voice. Abi introduces her "SERN" framework—Soil, Exposure, Roots, and Nutrients—as a way for leaders to move beyond performative DE&I and begin gardening their organizations for sustainable growth. Three Key Takeaways Cultivate Your Culture Like a Living Ecosystem. Instead of treating culture like a static construction project with a fixed end date, leaders should act as gardeners who constantly tend to the environment. "Organizations still treat culture like a construction project instead of what it is. That is why I call workplace culture a living ecosystem." Build Psychological Safety to Uncover the Truth. A healthy culture requires an environment where employees can be honest with leadership about what isn't working without fear of retaliation. "When you're able to have an organization that's built on psychological safety... everything else will follow." Reframe Resistance as a Sign of Progress. Friction and pushback are natural responses to major social or organizational changes; history shows that these moments often precede a shift in the right direction. "History has always taught us: whenever big changes happen, there's always resistance... to get to a good place, you do need to go through a bit of a gauntlet."  Follow Abi at https://www.abiadamson.com/

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 2nd and the 6th February (Episodes #11,787 - 11,789). Thanks to a couple of sporting events on Tuesday and Thursday, this week's helping of Coronation Street was almost as short as Kevin's temper. However, with Wednesday's Webster-focused episode featuring the big reveal to Carl that Debbie is actually his mum, there was still plenty for us to discuss! The pair of us actually had quite different opinions on that episode too, so it was pretty fun debating what did and didn't work for us! Also this week, a rooftop intervention from Abi leaves Kevin with new perspective on life (and Brian with a sore head!), Todd struggles to cope with no food and no money, and Jodie intrigues us with a mysterious box of trinkets... Up next on the podcast, it's The Kabin, where we discuss some streaming stats from ITVX and get a little overexcited at the prospect of an upcoming Audience With Helen Worth event, then we finish things off with more of your listener feedback.

Abi gets refreshingly honest about how being the voice of a radio station can affect what other jobs come your way, and how to navigate those waters.Age in the Industry – We asked the question: Is promo work a young person's game? Abi's answer might surprise you (and reassure a few of us!).From her First Class BA Hons in Performing Arts at Winchester University to her current status as a multi-award-winning voice with serious versatility, Abi's got stories, wisdom, and that grounded perspective we love.

So many of us confuse codependency with love—believing that fixing, managing, or rescuing others is the way to feel safe and connected. But what if that "care" is really control in disguise? In part one of this three part series, Justin and Abi get personal about how childhood instability, unprocessed grief, and toxic empathy shaped their patterns of over-responsibility. They unpack how codependency forms as a survival strategy, why hyper-vigilance can feel like compassion, and the hidden cost of carrying emotions that aren't yours. From childhood memories to marriage struggles, they share what it took to untangle those dynamics and begin choosing connection without control. If you've ever felt exhausted from fixing everyone else, wondered why you can't stay out of someone's emotions, or longed for healthier boundaries, this conversation is for you!

In 2025, Abigail Martin won the World gymnastics championships bronze medal on the floor exercise for Great Britain in the sport of women artistic gymnastics. At the age of just sixteen Abi was selected to represent Team GB at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games where she was part of the artistic gymnastics team that finished 4th in the women's team final. This followed a European team silver earlier that spring, where Abi made her international senior major championships debut finishing 7th individually in the floor exercise final. Abigail Martin's incredibly successful transition into senior gymnastics culminated in her remarkable 8th place finish at the World gymnastics championships in the all around final at just seventeen. And this is her story. 

Mosquito sprays and fogs only kill mosquitos, right? Wrong! The kinds of pesticides used to control mosquito populations are lethal to all manner of insects and other invertebrates. The use of these chemicals can have serious impacts on biodiversity and their marketing doesn't tell this side of the story.

In this episode of TAB Storytellers, Jen and Abi sit down with the incredible Dale Zalmstra, whose work and mentorship have profoundly shaped TAB practice in Colorado and beyond. Dale shares her nontraditional path into art education, how she found TAB early on, and why community, reflection, and teacher involvement are essential to sustaining student-centered, choice-based learning. This conversation is a powerful reminder that TAB is a philosophy—rooted in trust, creativity, and authenticity—that continues to grow through relationships and shared leadership.Resources:Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB)Website: https://teachingforartisticbehavior.orgCore ideas: The child is the artist.

Most of us want to be emotionally mature—calm in conflict, clear about our needs, and kind even when we're hurting. But no one really teaches us how to get there. In this episode, Justin, Abi, and Rachel unpack one of the most overlooked skills of emotional maturity: distress tolerance. They explore how learning to stay present with uncomfortable feelings—like shame, rejection, or fear—can completely shift the way we handle conflict, communicate needs, and repair in relationships. You'll hear honest stories about moments when they wanted to escape, react, or fix things fast—and how they learned to stay grounded instead. If you've ever been accused of overreacting… or felt powerless to stop yourself from shutting down, blaming, or spiraling in conflict, this conversation offers a compassionate pathway to building inner strength.

Plant poaching is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide and it doesn't get the attention it deserves. While the act of poaching plants from the wild ravages species and ecosystems alike, what happens to plants after the poachers have been caught? That is exactly what we are talking about in this episode. Director of Horticulture for the San Diego Zoo Safari Park Raj Brown joins us to explore how they ensure that poached cycads, cacti, and other succulents can continue to contribute to plant conservation and education efforts.

In dieser Episode von selbst&frei teilt Alvaro Gellings, Mitgründer von Day One, erstmals die ungeschminkte Wahrheit über den Aufbau einer der am schnellsten wachsenden Sportmarken Deutschlands. Von null auf 100.000 verkaufte Produkte in nur 15 Monaten – mit einer Launch-Kampagne, die über eine Milliarde organische Views im deutschsprachigen Raum generiert hat. Alvaro erklärt, wie er gemeinsam mit Extremsportler Arda Saatçi Day One gegründet hat, ohne jemals ein klassisches Pitch-Deck zu erstellen. Er spricht offen über die Realität hinter den Kulissen: Zwei Jahre Vorbereitung, hunderte Iterationsstufen bei der Produktentwicklung, und eine Marketingkampagne, die 3000 Kilometer durch Amerika und quer durch Japan führte – alles dokumentiert, geklippt und viral verbreitet durch tausende Videos auf Social Media. Besonders wertvoll: Seine ehrliche Reflexion über den Unterschied zwischen Creator Economy und klassischem E-Commerce. Während andere Brands langsam hochskalieren können, musste Day One vom ersten Tag an perfekt sein – weil Millionen zuschauen. Alvaro erklärt, warum Qualitätsmanagement der Schlüssel ist, wenn man mit Creatorn launcht, und wie sie trotz kleinem Team siebenstellige Umsätze im ersten Monat erreicht haben. Er teilt die genauen Zahlen: sechsstellige Kundenanzahl, durchschnittliche Warenkörbe von 100-120 Euro, und wie sie es geschafft haben, bereits im ersten Jahr unabhängig von Ardas Reichweite zu wachsen. Die wichtigste Strategie: Paid Media, Out-of-Home-Campaigns, weitere Athleten – und das klare Ziel, dass Ardas Anteil am Gesamtumsatz relativ immer kleiner wird, während die absolute Zahl weiter wächst. Besonders eindrucksvoll: Seine persönliche Journey vom Kellner und Kickboxtrainer über Trinkspiel-Entwicklung während des Studiums bis zum erfolgreichen Exit und schließlich Day One. Alvaro spricht offen über seine frühe Zeit – sehr früh aus dem Elternhaus ausgezogen, mit Schüler-BAföG durchs Abi gekommen, und wie er durch Studentenpartys, Abercrombie & Fitch-Modeling und die ersten unternehmerischen Versuche die Social Ladder hochgestiegen ist. Er erklärt, warum er seine erste Firma für einen siebenstelligen Betrag an einen Inkubator verkauft hat – und warum er trotz 20.000-50.000 Euro Monatsgehalt in der Immobilienbranche den Sprung ins Vollzeit-Unternehmertum gewagt hat. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis: "Einfach machen" – egal ob Trinkspiele, Fashion oder Sportmarke. Jedes Projekt lehrt dich Produktentwicklung, Performance Marketing, Supply Chain – und diese Skills sind übertragbar. Ein radikales Plädoyer für You vs. You, authentisches Storytelling und die Kunst, eine Brand zu bauen, die nicht von einem Creator abhängt, sondern von echter Mission und kompromissloser Qualität.

Imagine traveling down a sheet of ice at 90mph when your bobsled flips over and you slam your head into the ice wall. Meet William Person, 9 year member of the US Olympic bobsledding team. Join us as he shares his journey from college track and field, mental health advocate, member of the US Olympic bobsledding team to brain injury survivor and advocate. He saw first hand how untreated brain injuries devastate not only athletes but also military veterans and their families. William spent years in agony due to his repeated concussions. He only found relief when he began Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. His message is simple, “If your loved one is doing something that's out of the norm, get them checked out!” Individuals with CTEs do not see how their behavior impacts those around them. Loved ones do. Guest Social Media Info - https://www.instagram.com/willp1234567?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr#https://www.facebook.com/william.person.792233/ https://www.facebook.com/one.man.with.a.chamber.hbot Send us a textSupport the showYou can find this episode's transcript here.New episodes drop every other Thursday everywhere you listen to podcasts.

Most of us say we want to be loved — but for many of us, when it shows up at our doorstep, it stirs up panic, self-doubt, and the urge to run. But what if allowing people to love us could feel comfortable and completely normal? In this episode, Justin, Abi, and their long-time friend Rachel unpack what it means to build emotional distress tolerance—not just for pain, but for goodness. They explore why being seen, supported, or chosen can feel so threatening when your nervous systems is used to disappointment or self-reliance. From unexpected gifts to unwavering kindness, they share personal stories of the discomfort that arises when love challenges your core beliefs about worth, safety, and identity. Lastly they discuss how expanding your capacity to sit with uncomfortable feelings—without numbing, blaming, or ejecting—can radically transform your relationships. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by love, unsure how to receive it, or scared it might not last—this conversation will help you grow your capacity to let love in, one moment at a time.

What is the soil seed bank and how does it influence the outcomes of restoration ecology? Seeds of various species can remain in the soil over a range of time periods and when and why they emerge has the potential to improve restoration outcomes.

Most of us were never taught how to be with uncomfortable emotions—only how to avoid, suppress, or get overwhelmed by them. The unfortunate result is disconnection in relationships and more suffering. But what if the real secret to healing and creating secure relationships isn't about fixing the pain, but learning how to be with it? In this episode, Justin and Abi are joined by longtime friend and consultant Rachel to unpack the rarely talked about skill of emotional distress tolerance—what it is, why we need it, and how it becomes the key to emotional maturity. They get personal, sharing how PTSD, eating disorders, conflict avoidance, and financial stress exposed the places where they felt fragile—and how they built emotional strength, one small challenge at a time. If you've ever found yourself avoiding painful or difficult circumstances and want the skills necessary to get healthy and become a badass at facing life, this convo is a game-changer!

The Devonian Period was for plants what the Cambrian Period was for animals. Land plants really started to experiment with new forms of growth some 380 million years ago which led to the establishment of the first forests on Earth. We revisit a conversation with Dr. Chris Berry who was part of the team that recently discovered the oldest fossil evidence of forests. As you are going to hear, these forests were very different from the ones we know and love today.This episode was produced in part by Matthew, April, Dana, Lilith, Sanza, Eva, Yellowroot, Wisewren, Nadia, Heidi, Blake, Josh, Laure, R.J., Carly, Lucia, Dana, Sarah, Lauren, Strych Mind, Linda, Sylvan, Austin, Sarah, Ethan, Elle, Steve, Cassie, Chuck, Aaron, Gillian, Abi, Rich, Shad, Maddie, Owen, Linda, Alana, Sigma, Max, Richard, Maia, Rens, David, Robert, Thomas, Valerie, Joan, Mohsin Kazmi Photography, Cathy, Simon, Nick, Paul, Charis, EJ, Laura, Sung, NOK, Stephen, Heidi, Kristin, Luke, Sea, Shannon, Thomas, Will, Jamie, Waverly, Brent, Tanner, Rick, Kazys, Dorothy, Katherine, Emily, Theo, Nichole, Paul, Karen, Randi, Caelan, Tom, Don, Susan, Corbin, Keena, Robin, Peter, Whitney, Kenned, Margaret, Daniel, Karen, David, Earl, Jocelyn, Gary, Krysta, Elizabeth, Southern California Carnivorous Plant Enthusiasts, Pattypollinators, Peter, Judson, Ella, Alex, Dan, Pamela, Peter, Andrea, Nathan, Karyn, Michelle, Jillian, Chellie, Linda, Laura, Miz Holly, Christie, Carlos, Paleo Fern, Levi, Sylvia, Lanny, Ben, Lily, Craig, Sarah, Lor, Monika, Brandon, Jeremy, Suzanne, Kristina, Christine, Silas, Michael, Aristia, Felicidad, Lauren, Danielle, Allie, Jeffrey, Amanda, Tommy, Marcel, C Leigh, Karma, Shelby, Christopher, Alvin, Arek, Chellie, Dani, Paul, Dani, Tara, Elly, Colleen, Natalie, Nathan, Ario, Laura, Cari, Margaret, Mary, Connor, Nathan, Jan, Jerome, Brian, Azomonas, Ellie, University Greens, Joseph, Melody, Patricia, Matthew, Garrett, John, Ashley, Cathrine, Melvin, OrangeJulian, Porter, Jules, Griff, Joan, Megan, Marabeth, Les, Ali, Southside Plants, Keiko, Robert, Bryce, Wilma, Amanda, Helen, Mikey, Michelle, German, Joerg, Cathy, Tate, Steve, Kae, Carole, Mr. Keith Santner, Lynn, Aaron, Sara, Kenned, Brett, Jocelyn, Ethan, Sheryl, Runaway Goldfish, Ryan, Chris, Alana, Rachel, Joanna, Lori, Paul, Griff, Matthew, Bobby, Vaibhav, Steven, Joseph, Brandon, Liam, Hall, Jared, Brandon, Christina, Carly, Kazys, Stephen, Katherine, Manny, doeg, Daniel, Tim, Philip, Tim, Lisa, Brodie, Bendix, Irene, holly, Sara, and Margie.

Most of us don't realize how disconnected we are from our bodies, our emotions, and the present moment. We live in constant motion, pushing through exhaustion, ignoring discomfort, and calling it normal. But no amount of thinking our way through life will ever replace the deep safety that comes from being connected to ourselves. Justin and Abi are back from their sabbatical... sort of. In this episode they explore how dysregulation in the nervous system affects everything from our relationships to our ability to live out the healing we fight so hard to experience. They share personal stories of burnout and living in survival, and how their recent sabbatical has been a complete game-changer. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right things" and still not making the progress you hope for, this episode is an invitation to slow down and start fresh. Your nervous system doesn't need you to try harder—it needs to feel safe. You can WATCH us at https://www.justinandabi.com/theconnectedlife Don't forget to RATE, REVIEW, SUBSCRIBE, AND SHARE!

It's challenging for everyone involved—but there are solutions! In part one of this two-part episode, Justin and Abi explore how our nervous system can throw a massive monkey wrench into relational dynamics. They also share critical telltale signs of a dysregulated nervous system. Lastly, they open up about their own marriage and apologize to one another for how their dysregulation has impacted each other. This two part series is a game changer for any relationship.

Most of us don't realize how much of our relationship pain is rooted in old stories—until those stories start playing out with the person we love most. It's easy to blame our partners for the chaos in a relationship. But what if the truth is that we're all just scared kids trapped in adult bodies, equally making messes as we search for safety? In this raw and redemptive episode, Justin and Abi share the full arc of their healing journey—from trauma bonding and codependency to finding internal safety, building emotional resilience, and learning to love without self-abandonment. They reflect on the missteps, the meltdowns, the moments that nearly broke them, and the powerful shifts that changed everything. Together, they paint a picture of what it means to stop trying to fix each other and start healing from the inside out. If you've ever felt stuck in patterns you don't understand, judged yourself for how you react, or wondered if your relationship could really change—this episode is for you. Don't miss out!
