Stāsta JVLMA profesore, Muzikoloģijas katedras Etnomuzikoloģijas klases vadītāja, Zinātniski pētnieciskā centra vadošā pētniece Anda Beitāne; pārraides producente – Maruta Rubeze Ziemeļlatgalē, precīzāk, Medņevas, Viļakas, Rekovas, Upītes, Baltinavas un Briežuciema apkārtnē par kaladošanu sauc dziesmas, ko dzied ap Ziemassvētkiem. Tām raksturīgo refrēnvārdu "kalado", no kura atvasināts šis apzīmējums vietējā tautas terminoloģijā, dziedātājas nereti saista ar katoļu dievmaizītēm kaladām. Tā, piemēram, šīs tradīcijas mantiniece un nesēja, dziedāšanas meistare un ilggadējā Medņevas etnogrāfiskā ansambļa vadītāja Natālija Smuška man savulaik stāstīja: "Ziemassvētku priekšvakarā taču ēd kaladas. Mums vienmēr tēvs atnesa. Māte uzsedz uz galda galdautiņu un virsū uzliek kaladas. Apēd kaladas, tad jau vakariņas ēd. Tad dziedam Dieva dziesmas, visādas, Ziemassvētku." Uz jautājumu, ko parasti dara Ziemassvētkos, Natālija atbild: "Visu ko. "Čigānos" ejam uz klubu, čigankas zīlē un ko tik nedara!" Viņa atceras, ka agrākos laikos gājušas "čigānos" arī "pa mājām": "Kādreiz staigājām, vai, kā staigājām! Mēs bijām jaunas vēl, nebijām pie vīra gājušas. Vienos kaimiņos iegājām, a tur maizīti no cepļa velk. Tūlīt "čigāniem" pa gabalam atlauza. Cik tā maize garda bija! Sasēdušas pa grīdu, ēdām. Smējāmies: savās mājās nekad tā neēstu sausu maizi. Gājām visur kur. Vienā vietā nelaida iekšā. Ko tagad darīsim? Dēļ kā šie nelaiž, ne tiem mazu bērnu, nekā. Aizspiedām durvis – lai guļ pa dienu, ja viņiem miegs nāk." Medņevā "čigānos" gāja no 25. decembra līdz 6. janvārim – Triju kungu dienai. Natālija Smuška stāsta arī par to, ko "čigāni" vilka mugurā viņas bērnībā un jaunībā: "Kādas nu lupatas bija, ka tik interesantāk – visas mugurā savilktas. Un kažoki – toreiz bij' aitādu kažoki. To jau uz kreiso pusi izgriež, par lāci sataisās, par dzērvi. Manam tēvam vienmēr patika taisīt "čigānus". Agrāk bija tādi lieli grozi, ar ko sienu nesa uz kūti govīm. A te kaimiņos bija viena tāda vecene. Viņa ielīda tajā grozā. Tāda sīka vecene bija, un apsēja to grozu apkārt ar deķi, ietaisīja rokturi, un lūk – šarmanka , proti, leijerkaste. A viņa – tur iekšā dzied." Kaladošana sastopama arī Medņevas kaimiņpagastos. Taču medņevietes to dzied garākā versijā nekā citur. Natālija Smuška to skaidro šādi: "To var pārveidot īsāku un garāku. Tā garā kaladošana, lai ir ko klausīties. Es reiz dzirdēju – Baltinavas ansamblis dziedāja, kaut kas līdzīgs bija. Atbraukusi mājās, domāju, paga, paga, vajag saštukot." Te vietā neliela atkāpe par dziesmu saštukošanu jeb pārmantošanu no kaimiņiem. Kā stāsta Natālija, "kur nobraucam, kaut vienu jaunu dziesmu vedam uz dvoru". Par dvoru Medņevā sauc māju un sētu. Uz manu piebildi, ka nevaru saprast, vai drīkstu visai pasaulei par to stāstīt, viņa atbild: "Bet tā ir. Es nezinu, ko tur sacīt. Tautasdziesmu nevar noslēpt. Tautasdziesma jau iet no mutes mutē – kā sadzird, tā arī dzied." Arī Briežuciema dziedātājas vārda "kalado" nozīmi saista ar katoļu dievmaizītēm kaladām. Broņislava Platniece stāsta, ka "tā bij pieņemts, tās kaladas. Kaladas Ziemassvētkos ēda un tagad ēd, un dziesmas dzied." Interesants ir Broņislavas stāstījums par pašām kaladām: "Mums, katoļu cilvēkiem, baznīcā deva. Svētības zīme bija. Tā arī tagad viņas ir. Nu, ar to tā kaladošana ir. Nu, svētība, maizīte tāda." Taču vēl interesantāka šajā kontekstā ir Felicijas Loginas piebilde, ka kaladas jāēd un kaladošanu jādzied arī tāpēc, ka "zini, kādam lopiņam, kad grūti, vai kad viņš slimo", kas norāda uz saistību ar senākiem maģijas slāņiem. Dziedātājas arī atgādina, ka kaladas jāglabā visu gadu – līdz nākamajiem Ziemassvētkiem. Nu ko, priecīgus Ziemassvētkus! Avoti: Beitāne, Anda. 2018. Notes from Latvia. Multipart Music in the Field.

America is racing to build the infrastructure for an AI-powered economy. But as this generational investment accelerates, a critical question emerges: Are organizations truly ready to deploy AI at scale? While AI is everywhere in headlines, enterprise readiness remains uneven. Many companies are experimenting with AI, but far fewer have the data quality, governance structures, workforce skills, or sector-specific frameworks needed to adopt it responsibly and effectively. The gap between infrastructure and real-world deployment is growing — and closing it will determine whether AI strengthens competitiveness and expands opportunity across the economy. In this episode, guest host Brie Sachse, Senior Vice President & Head of Government Affairs for Siemens USA, sits down with Victoria Espinel, President & CEO of the Business Software Alliance (BSA), to explore how AI can be responsibly integrated across every sector of the economy. Together, they discuss what it takes to accelerate AI adoption in ways that strengthen competitiveness, expand opportunity, and build public trust. Victoria shares insights from BSA's global work on AI and digital transformation, while Brie discusses the strong benefits of AI adoption across all sectors of industry, where AI meets the physical world. Both Brie and Victoria reflect on how policymakers, employers, and technology leaders can work together to ensure AI provides benefits to organizations of all sizes. This episode offers a practical, optimistic look at the future of AI and why readiness, not hype, is the key to unlocking America's AI advantage.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine dauert an, aber die Finanzierung wird immer schwieriger. Die USA haben unter Donald Trump kein Interesse daran, weiterhin finanzielle Unterstützung zu leisten. Die EU will zwar, dass die Ukraine weiter gegen Russland kämpft, findet aber dennoch keinen Weg zu einer neuen gemeinschaftlichen Verschuldung, um Mittel für diesen Kampf bereit zu stellen.Deshalb hat man nun einen anderen Plan: Die russischen Assets, die überwiegend in Belgien einfroren sind, sollen den Ukrainern als Darlehen zur Verfügung gestellt werden.Dies sei, betont die EU, keine Enteignung – man werde die russischen Vermögen nämlich zurückzahlen, wenn Russland Reparationszahlungen an die Ukraine leistet, sobald der Krieg vorüber ist.Dass dies de facto aber eine Enteignung ist, kann schwerlich übersehen werden. Kein Wunder, dass sowohl Belgien als auch die EZB skeptisch sind. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ sprechen Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M.

This week on The Nikki & Brie Show, everyone's asking the same question: Is Nikki starring in a holiday movie?! Not quite—but her new Google AI Shopping Ad has people convinced she's headlining a Hallmark film. Nikki spills the behind-the-scenes on playing “Holly,” starring opposite Taylor Kinney (yes, from Chicago Fire) and getting mothered by Donna Kelce! From cut kissing scenes to turtlenecks, Nikki shares what really happened on set and why Hallmark might need to give her and Brie a call ASAP.Then it's time to get unhinged in the “Hear Me Out” game: a hilarious round of unexpected crush confessions. Animated characters? Nikki's team Shrek. Fictional villains? Brie's trying to fix The Joker. And don't even get them started on hot UPS drivers and flight attendants. They're revealing who gives “dad vibes,” which professions are sneakily sexy, and the weird scenarios that shouldn't be hot but are (spoiler: getting coffee orders wrong is a BIG no).Nikki & Brie just might be ready for their rom-com era. Press play for some serious holiday laughs! Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!

#surrogacy #ivf #surrogate Brie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briannatowne?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==What if the calm, practical path to a healthy surrogate pregnancy is simpler than you've been told? We sit down with maternal health nutritionist and current surrogate Brie Towne, who pairs evidence with empathy to demystify prenatal nutrition, implantation support, and postpartum recovery. No scare tactics, no perfectionism—just strategies that actually fit a full life.Brie explains why early nutrient stores matter for implantation and first-trimester development, then walks through realistic weight gain targets, how to handle nausea with balanced meals, and a hydration approach that uses thirst and urine color instead of arbitrary quotas. We dig into the most overlooked prenatal nutrient—choline—and how to get it from eggs, fish, and thoughtful supplementation. We also talk through folate, iron, omega-3s, vitamin D, iodine, and antioxidants, clarifying when supplements help and when they're unnecessary or even counterproductive.One of the biggest surprises: organic isn't automatically better. Brie unpacks the small nutritional differences, cost trade-offs, and what pesticide regulation really looks like, freeing you to buy what you'll actually eat and afford. You'll leave with simple routines—default breakfasts, snack prep, frozen and canned standbys, and a “40 plants a week” diversity goal—that make eating well easier than chasing trends. For postpartum and pumping, we cover calorie needs, gentle foods for early digestion, and how to protect milk supply without turning meals into math.Whether you're an intended parent seeking peace of mind, a first-time surrogate navigating expectations, or a returning carrier looking to fine-tune what works, this conversation equips you with grounded, judgment-free tools. If you found this helpful, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help more families find us.https://verdurehouse.com/Send us a texthttps://stopsitsurrogate.com

The holiday season is officially in full swing! This is the time of year when traditions really take center stage. But before embarking on the usual holidays customs, consider if these rituals still align with who you are today. Do holiday traditions bring you comfort and joy? Or are there traditions that feel restrictive and oppressive? What are you eager to carry forward and what would you rather leave in the past? This season, embrace the traditions that feed your holiday spirit, and give yourself permission to set down the traditions that have become too heavy. As we take in the cold night air, envision the magic you'll create when you combine tradition with intention. What am I reading?Daughter of the Tarot by Clare Marchanthttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781836030577The Way of the Fearless Writer by Beth Kemptonhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250892133https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Still Breathing by Green DayWhat's for dinner? Blackberry Grilled CheeseIngredients:BaguetteBrieOlive oilFresh Mozzarella1 onionBlackberry preservesInstructions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Kirsten Maitland, co-founder and "CheeseMaster" of the critically acclaimed Rebel Cheese, recently joined The Ash Said It Show to pull back the curtain on the brand's meteoric rise. From military discipline to the largest vegan brie cavein the country, Maitland shared the surprising secrets behind her Shark Tank success and how she's converting die-hard dairy lovers one creamy, cultured wheel at a time. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in vegan food innovation, conscious business growth, and the power of a daring career pivot. Maitland was clear that the brand's success in creating the "world's best artisan vegan brie" comes from rejecting modern shortcuts. The company's commitment to traditional cheesemaking techniques—including the use of a temperature and humidity-controlled vegan brie cave—is non-negotiable. This meticulous aging process, she explained, is essential for cultivating the complex, "funky" flavor profiles and genuine textures that simply cannot be achieved with food science alone. The shocking truth? Most of Rebel Cheese's customers are not vegan. Maitland credited this conversion success to two key factors: flavor and familiarity. The cheeses are designed to function exactly like their dairy counterparts—they slice, melt, and hold up on a dairy-free charcuterie board. By focusing on replicating beloved classics like their Smoked Cheddar and Cave-Aged Brie, Rebel Cheese removes the intimidating element of the unknown for traditional cheese lovers. What non-obvious skill does a former Navy veteran entrepreneur bring to making plant-based cheese? Protocol Adherence and Adaptability. Maitland revealed that her experience as an Operations Specialist and later an Agile Coach in Big Tech taught her to build robust, repeatable processes (critical for food safety and quality control) while maintaining the agility to quickly iterate on recipes and scale production. This structure is the unseen foundation that supports the brand's artisanal quality at a mass scale. The Shark Tank investment from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner caused an "explosion" in e-commerce orders. Maitland explained that scaling meant implementing a modular production system. Rather than sacrificing the small-batch, handcrafted process, they replicated it. They invested in equipment to handle the raw material processing (cashews) efficiently, but kept the culturing, aging, and finishing of the cheese strictly hands-on, ensuring the artisanal standard remains in every wheel shipped nationwide. Beyond the capital and media boost, Maitland's most valuable takeaway was the need for ruthless strategic focus. The Sharks' scrutiny forced the team to prioritize the most scalable, high-margin products—the ones that truly "rebelled" against expectations—allowing them to streamline their offerings and dominate the premium plant-based cheese market. In a transparent discussion, Maitland addressed the realities of running a high-growth business while staying true to its values. She emphasized that balancing the "values-led" mission with the demands of a "financially sustainable small business" requires transparent communication and strategic operational contractionswhen necessary. The core principle, she stated, is integrity—in their product, their financials, and their public messaging. Maitland sees the next major hurdle for high-end vegan food innovation not in replicating flavor, but in achieving price parity with dairy. The strategy for Rebel Cheese is to leverage increased volume and better supply chain relationships to drive down the cost of premium ingredients, ultimately making gourmet dairy-free foods accessible to the mass market and leading the charge into a truly plant-powered future. Web: https://rebelcheese.com Rebel Cheese is the critically acclaimed, Austin, Texas-based gourmet food company and brick-and-mortar bistro that is revolutionizing the plant-based cheese industry. Founded by the dynamic, globe-trotting duo, Kirsten Maitland and Fred Swar, Rebel Cheese has successfully challenged the notion that high-quality, artisanal cheese requires dairy, becoming a globally recognized brand in the vegan food and dairy-free charcuterie space. The brand was born out of co-founder Kirsten Maitland's personal journey to find flavorful, satisfying, and sophisticated vegan cheese alternatives after adopting a plant-based diet. She recognized a massive gap in the market: while basic dairy-free cheeses existed, none truly captured the complex textures, sharp flavors, and aging processes of traditional European cheeses. Rebel Cheese's mission is simple yet audacious: to create handcrafted, gourmet plant-based cheeses that are indistinguishable from their dairy counterparts in taste, texture, and melting properties. They achieve this by using old-world cheesemaking techniques—including culturing, aging, and ripening—but substituting cow or goat milk with a base of organic cashew milk and fava bean protein. Rebel Cheese gained massive national attention after appearing on the hit show Shark Tank. The company impressed the notoriously skeptical investors, with billionaire Mark Cuban quickly becoming an investor after declaring their products, particularly the Brie, tasted exactly like traditional cheese. For customers outside of Texas, Rebel Cheese ships its artisanal cheeses and curated gift boxes nationwide, bringing its award-winning plant-based cheese directly to consumers across the country.

Nikki & Brie are fresh off a big night in Hollywood with some big names celebrating their love for the planet at the EMA Awards Show! It was an eye-opening event for Nikki, who learned a lot about the Environmental Media Association, climate change, and walked away inspired. Brie's been involved with EMA for years and wants to bring their messaging and level of activism to the world of professional wrestling. Change can be hard, change can be uncomfortable, but the Twins realize that in order to protect what you love, you need to take action. The state of the Amazon Rainforest is what made Nikki want to get more involved. That and Brie's speech on stage at the awards, going off script and offering bodyslams to everyone in the room. Brie walked away with a passion to respect and support the indigenous people of the Amazon, while Nicole is mystified as to why people wouldn't want to protect the earth. It was an empowering, emotional, and compelling night that they'll carry with them for a lifetime. The heart of the conversation comes when Nikki and Brie meet Yánnuni, the Amazonian woman at the center of a powerful new documentary. The sisters open up about the emotional impact of her story, the fight to protect the rainforest, and what it means to answer the call when someone says, “We need your help,” and the need for hope. It's not just awards & green carpets this week. Nikki & Brie also check out hot Italian priests, break down different types of hangovers, discuss a concerning fish allergy, and question why Gen Z isn't getting on the dance floor. It was a crazy week. Nikki & Brie also had some encounters with women The episode closes out with a double dose of Inspiration & Affirmation! One is a poem about the importance of the Amazon Rainforest, the other a simple quote that puts possession into perspective. For more on EMA: Watch the trailer for Wayumi Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!
