Podcasts about Danes

How did the Danish missionary Hans Egede combine capitalism and religion in his colonisation of Greenland in the 1700s? Why have we forgotten about Danish colonialism in India and Greenland? When did Greenlanders gain self-determination?  Anita and William discuss how the Danes colonised Greenland in the 18th century, using a system not too dissimilar to the East India Company: royal monopolies and efforts to eradicate Indigenous culture.  ----------------- Empire Club: Become a member of the Empire Club to receive early access to miniseries, ad-free listening, early access to live show tickets, bonus episodes, book discounts, our exclusive newsletter, and access to our members' chatroom on Discord!

V okviru Vseslovenske akcije ozaveščanja in socialnega vključevanja invalidov z naslovom Vidiš človeka ali invalidnost, ki invalide različnimi dejavnostmi vključuje v javnost in družbo, je nastalo nekaj pogovorov, ki jih boste lahko slišali v oddaji Med štirimi stenami. Akcijo organizira Nacionalni svet invalidskih organizacij Slovenije z namenom, da javnost spozna uspehe in zanimive življenjske zgodbe posameznikov, ki znajo kljub invalidnosti izkoristiti svoje prednosti in stopajo po edinstvenih poteh. Danes boste spoznali Saro Medja, mlado plesalko orientalskih plesov, ki je pri 24 letih zbolela za kronično vnetno črevesno boleznijo, ki je ena najagresivnejših avtoimunskih bolezni današnjega časa. Kljub temu ni dopustila, da bi ji bolezen vzela to, kar počne najraje, pleše namreč še naprej. Je tudi diplomirana dietetičarka, ki se je prav zaradi pojava bolezni odločila še za nadaljevanje študija na magisteriju. Njeno poslanstvo je pomoč osebam, ki so postavljene pred enako diagnozo, kot jo ima sama. Z njo se je pogovarjala Lara Gril.

NOTA Men's Conference guest speaker Chris Danes explores the power and pitfalls of testosterone—how it fuels drive, risk-taking, and aggression, but can also lead men astray. With raw honesty and biblical insight, Chris unpacks the challenges men face today and calls them to a higher standard: one of righteousness, integrity, and purpose. It's a bold challenge to reject passivity, embrace vulnerability, and live out true godly masculinity.

Začetek poletja bo vroč, ker se bodo morala plemena Evrope, z njimi pa tudi Slovani pod Alpami odločiti, kaj storiti glede oboroževanja. Zaveze in pa čezatlantski diktati so jasni; izdatke za oboroževanje je treba dvigniti, ker so grožnje miru, stabilnosti in blaginji vseprisotne in stalne. V Sloveniji smo obljubljali dvig izdatkov zadnjih nekaj desetletij, ampak ker se naš odstotek v kumulativi Natovih bilijard pozna bolj malo, so nas pustili pri miru. Zdaj pa je Putin odnesel šalo in naši odstotki gredo najprej proti obljubljenima dvema, nato pa še višje, višje in višje.Levica se je ostro uprla načrtovanemu povečanju izdatkov za obrambo. Kar je povzročilo pričakovano krizo; desnica si mane roke, da bo koalicija razpadla zaradi pušk, levica pa se je razcepila na Levico in Kordiša. Poslanec Vatovec je, ob pomislekih levice, ki bi lahko pripeljali celo do referenduma, najmanj pa do javne razprave, modro pripomnil, da bi bilo »bolje vlagati v ljudi, kot v orožje«. Ampak saj prav v tem je kleč in v nadaljevanju bomo popravili ali vsaj dopolnili poslanca Vatovca. Ko vlagamo v orožje, vlagamo v ljudi. V prenesenem in neprenesenem pomenu besede. Recimo; naboji oziroma vsa municija so kupljeni z namenom, da jih vložiš v ljudi. Ljudi pri tem malo zaboli, nekateri posledično celo umrejo, ampak to ne spremeni dejstva, da je orožje namenjeno ljudem, bolj kot je to javno zdravstvo, dolgotrajna oskrba in šolstvo. Orožje kupujemo izključno za ljudi in toliko bi pri Levici že lahko vedeli. Seveda za ljudi, ki so ali pa bodo naši sovražniki; ki so danes naši sosedje, morebiti ga kupujemo za migrante, ali pa za drugače misleče Slovence, ampak kupujemo ga za ljudi. Za ljudi na drugi strani, za ljudi, pred katerimi se bomo pravično branili in s tem branili Slovenijo, tisočletna ognjišča in tralala in hopsasa, ampak naše nove bleščeče puške bodo namenjene ljudem. Malo je problematično, da kljub njihovim Vatovcem tudi naši sovražniki kupujejo orožje za ljudi, se pravi za nas.  Torej je po logiki oboroževalcev in obramboslovcev in vojakov vseh sort edina rešitev, da si mi nakupimo več orožja od sovražnika. Zato gremo na dva odstotka BDP, čez čas na tri, čez čas na pet in nekoč bomo za orožje dajali sto odstotkov BDP in takrat bomo, za to ni treba biti preveč pameten, zaprepaščeno ugotovili, da ti niti 100 odstotkov BDP-ja za obrambo ne nudi absolutne varnosti. Ali daš za obrambo vse odstotke, ali pa nobenega; ljudje bodo umirali. Jasno, takšno razmišljanje uniformiranci in njih apologeti kmalu razglasijo za naivni pacifizem, lasten srednješolcem in tistim, ki uživajo konopljino zel. Ampak dejansko ni pacifizma, oziroma mirovništva nihče – razen mirovniškega gibanja tik pred zoro slovenske osamosvojitve – v praksi nikoli preizkusil. To poskuša zdaj doseči Levica s široko javno razpravo – ki se bo izjalovila, ker javne razprave niso nikoli široke, ali pa s posvetovalnim referendumom. Ki se bo pa tudi izjalovil, ker so slovenski referendumi molilni mlinčki, ne pa instrument demokratičnega dialoga. Danes, ko mediji tekmujemo v kataklizmičnih prerokbah, ko diktatorji uspevajo bolje kot jesenske gobe, ko so ljudje bolj poneumljeni kot kadarkoli v zgodovini, se je boriti proti oboroževanju naivno. Zato seveda Levici ne bo uspelo in gre pri pozivu o zamrznitvi obrambnih sredstev samo za politično manifestacijo načelnosti, ki pa na koncu ne bo ustavila drvenja odstotkov navzgor. Je pa zrnce razuma v poslančevi misli, da je treba vlagati v ljudi, namesto v oborožitev. Toda vlagati kaj? Edino, česar se lahko domislimo, je, da bi vlagali v človekovo zavest; se pravi, da razprava o oboroževanju z ministrstev, kjer imajo radi smodnik, preide v ministrstvo za šolstvo in kulturo. Če bi nam uspelo predrugačiti zavest ljudi, da ob namišljeni ali dejanski ogroženosti orožje ni prva misel in reakcija, in če bi se takšne akcije lotili še kje po svetu, bi nam morebiti uspel civilizacijski preboj. Da pa ne gre za naivno in brezpredmetno sanjarjenje, dokazujejo nekatere države na svetu, ki so se vojski in s tem odstotku BDP-ja odrekle, ali pa tiste, ki sicer namenjajo sredstva za obrambo, niso pa bile v zadnjih desetletjih, ali celo stoletju zapletene v noben vojaški konflikt. Jih je malo, ampak nekje je treba začeti.

Prvo razglednico so poslali v drugi polovici devetnajstega stoletja. Danes polnijo predvsem zbirateljske albume in muzejske zbirke, čeprav so še vedno zveste in tihe opazovalke s stojnic turistično najbolj obiskanih mest. Vedno manj jih odpošljemo. Z njimi vse redkeje pošljemo pozdrave najbližjim, a vendar so tretji najbolj priljubljeni zbirateljski predmet na svetu. O teh majhnih, a zgovornih pričevalcih zgodovine pripoveduje Nedeljska reportaža Sare Zmrzlak.

Informativna oddaja o vseh pomembnejših domačih in tujih novicah, o katerih so domače in tuje agencije poročale do 13-ih.

Današnja sobota je - kljub hrupu in gneči ob skorajšnjem začetku poletne turistične sezone - namenjena opominu na posledice vojn. Danes je namreč minilo 80 let od vrnitve izgnancev v domovino ter osem desetletij od osvoboditve koncentracijskega taborišča Ljubelj. Na tamkajšnji spominski slovesnosti je predsednica Nataša Pirc Musar poudarila, da ne smeta spomin in opomin na vojne grozote nikdar zbledeti. Ostali poudarki oddaje: - Gaza ostaja brez človekoljubne pomoči. - Kaj vse se, z različnimi oznakami, skriva v sladkarijah? - Projekt Hudo: prvi radijski koraki nadobudnih šolarjev.

Mineva 20 mesecev od vdora palestinskega gibanja Hamas v Izrael, uboja več kot tisoč ljudi na izraelskem ozemlju in zajetja več kot 250 talcev. S tem se je začela vojna v Gazi, ki je med Palestinci povzročila že skoraj 54 tisoč 800 smrtnih žrtev. Danes je bilo v izraelskih napadih v Gazi ubith najmanj 75 ljudi - od teh najmanj osem, ki so čakali na razdelitev človekoljubne pomoči.

Danes dopoldan so se v Ljubljani začeli jubilejni Slovenski dnevi knjige. Na tokratnem osrednjem prizorišču na Vrtu Lili Novy Društva slovenskih pisateljev se je pod okriljem letošnjega gesla Drevo, beseda in človek začela 30. izvedba tega festivala s številnimi dogodki in knjižnim sejmom. Na predzadnji razstavi v letošnji sezoni se Mestna galerija Nova Gorica poklanja umetniku konceptualne fotografije, Evgenu Bavčarju, ki živi in deluje med domačim Lokavcem in Parizom. Bavčar s fotografijo odslikava pogled nevidečega na svet, ki je videčim samoumevna vsakdanjost, so poudarili ob odprtju razstave. Potem ko je januarja pred dvema letoma Frankfurtska opera praizvedla opero Blühen oziroma Razcvet Vita Žuraja, bomo lahko to 70-minutno delo spoznali tudi pri nas, z novo zasedbo in režijo, v koprodukciji Slovenskega komornega glasbenega gledališča, SNG Maribor in Cankarjevega doma. Predstavi bosta danes in jutri v Linhartovi dvorani Cankarjevega doma v Ljubljani.

Petnajstminutna oddaja je predvsem lokalno obarvana, namenjena predstavitvi dogajanja, problemov in uspehov v posameznih okoljih po vsej državi. V njej seveda najdejo prostor tudi vse pomembnejše domače in tuje novice, o katerih so domače in tuje agencije poročale do 13.00.

Danes sta po telefonu govorila ruski in ameriški predsednik Vladimir Putin ter Donald Trump. Ta je po pogovoru dejal, da je Putin napovedal odločen odziv na nedavni ukrajinski napad na ruska vojaška letališča. Trump je dodal, da njun pogovor ni bil takšen, da bi vodil k takojšnjemu miru. Na današnjem srečanju kontaktne skupine za Ukrajino pod vodstvom Nemčije in Velike Britanije so zaradi ruske agresije, terorizma in globalne konkurence vodilni poudarjali pomen večjega vlaganja zveze Nato v obrambo.

Izrael je v minulih 24-ih urah v Gazi ubil skoraj 100 ljudi, več kot 400 je ranjenih. Centri za razdeljevanje pomoči, v bližini katerih so v minulih dneh ubili več deset Palestincev, ostajajo zaprti. V varnostnem svetu bodo drevi glasovali o resoluciji nestalnih članic, ki zahteva takojšnje, brezpogojno in trajno premirje v Gazi, odpravo omejitev pri dobavah človekoljubne pomoči in izpustitev talcev. Druge teme: - Zveza potrošnikov vložila skupinsko tožbo proti Gen-I - Suspendirali višjo sodnico, ki je odločala v zadevi švicarski franki - Ob dnevu krvodajalstva odličen odziv mladih na akcije

Danes živimo v debelilnem okolju – to je v okolju, v katerem je človek izpostavljen številnim možnostim prevelikega energijskega vnosa in obenem premajhne energijske porabe. Kako naj načrtujemo prehrano in gibanje za normalno telesno težo ter za zdravo in dolgoročno znižanje telesne teže? Gostja v studiu Prvega dr. Tina Sentočnik, specialistka interne medicine in psihoterapevtka.

Centri za socialno delo od danes sprejemajo vloge za uveljavljanje pravic iz novega zakona o dolgotrajni oskrbi. Oddati jih je mogoče v vseh enotah CSD po Sloveniji. Začetek izvajanja zakona je predviden s prvim julijem, prinaša pa dolgotrajno oskrbo na domu, storitvi za krepitev in ohranjanje samostojnosti ter e-oskrbo. V oddaji tudi: - Ruska in ukrajinska delegacija v Carigradu na nadaljevanju pogovorov. - Po zmagi Nawrockega na poljskih predsedniških volitvah iz Evrope želje po nadaljnjem sodelovanju. - Predlagatelji interpelacije ministru Poklukarju očitajo nadaljevanje politizacije policije.

Cas Holman je slovita ameriška oblikovalka igrač – zaslovela je z igračo Rigamajig, namenjeno vrtcem –, znana je tudi po svojem inovativnem pristopu k oblikovanju igrišč. V središču njenega razmisleka je vedno potencial igre, saj kot poudarja, otroci za igro ne potrebujejo igrač, če pa jih že imajo, morajo te ponujati čim več prostora domišljiji. Pri njenih kreacijah je v ospredju tudi ideja skupne igre, sodelovanja otrok. Cas Holman razmišlja tudi o tem, kako bi se kot odrasli morali več igrati, pri čemer nima v mislih le računalniških ali športnih iger. Jeseni bo pri založbi Avery izšla njena knjiga, posvečena prav tej temi. O vsem tem v pogovoru, ki ga je z njo posnela Tesa Drev Juh in ga tudi prevedla. Bralka Mateja Perpar, ton in montaža Maks Pust.

V Slovenijo se je preselila pred nekaj leti, ne da bi znala besedico slovensko. Danes je ona tista, ki ljudem s podobno zgodbo pomaga pri učenju novega jezika in vklapljanju v družbo.

Movie Star Great Dane's Owner Helps Educate the Public Host Laura Reeves is joined by Bev Klingensmith, breeder, owner and trainer of the canine star of the new movie, The Friend. [caption id="attachment_14029" align="alignleft" width="671"] Bev Klingensmith and Bing on set filming The Friend.[/caption] Klingensmith's dog, Bing, CH Flighty Foto White Christmas CD RA CA DCAT TKI CGC TT, plays the part of the Harlequin Great Dane in the movie which stars Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, about a solitary writer who adopts and bonds with a Great Dane that belonged to a late friend, helping her to come to terms with her past and her own creative inner life. Bing is Klingensmith's fourth generation of homebred Great Danes, starting in the late ‘90s. “The production company actually sent an e-mail to me back in January of 2020. When I first got the e-mail I deleted it. People, I've told that story and people ask if I thought it was a scam or fake. And I'm like, no, I just didn't think it was realistic for me. They're talking filming in New York. I live in Iowa. And then I was like, you know, I do have lots of friends on the East Coast with Danes. Maybe I can help point them in the right direction, give them some contacts at least. That was really my only initial reason to reach back out.” Klingensmith is very aware of concerns about the risks posed by purebred dogs appearing in movies and has used the movie as a platform for education about her beloved breed. “I worked with the production team and we put a piece in the credits encouraging folks to visit the Great Dane Club of America's website for breeder referrals and rescue contacts. I have worked with a few rescues for fundraising. We've done so many Q&A events and things like that. And that is one of the things I always hit on is Great Danes are not for everyone. “They are not couch potatoes. They're giant, their expenses are giant. If you choose to get a Great Dane, where you get the Great Dane is so important. It's not just selecting the right breed for your home. It's also selecting where to get that dog. And that's almost more important than selecting the right breed. And that's been a huge statement that I've been trying to make over and over to the public and fingers crossed the message gets out there. “One of the things I like to point out, he is a champion. He's purposely bred, carefully bred, thoughtfully bred with generations of all the same behind him. That none of that has happened by chance. His temperament and his behavior, none of it has happened by chance. “I try to stress that to people as much as I can because we're talking about where you get your dog is so important. I told people a lot, ignorance and apathy, they're both really bad traits to have in a breeder. I might love my dog, but if I don't know what I'm doing, I'm still gonna be a bad breeder unintentionally. And that's just as damaging as the breeders that don't care.”

Whether you're navigating your own health journey or supporting someone who is, this episode offers practical insights, hope, and a reminder that healing is possible. This conversation was recorded 7 years ago, but its message is just as timely and inspiring today. Learn more about Danes program Here https://crohnscolitislifestyle.com

V Carigradu naj bi se po včerajšnji zmešnjavi dopoldne le začela neposredna pogajanja med Ukrajino in Rusijo o končanju vojne, a brez predsednikov obeh držav. Ameriški zunanji minister Marco Rubio ocenjuje, da preboja ni pričakovati. Druge teme: - Pogajanja o spremembah na trgu dela: višje nadomestilo za brezposelnost, dodatne ure dela upokojencev - Dolgotrajna oskrba: bodo njene stroške - ki naj bi jih pokrival namenski davek - morale pokrivati občine? - Dela so štajersko avtocesto ohromila bolj, kot so pričakovali na Darsu; zastoji bodo poleti še pogostejši.

In the 1600s, both Denmark and Sweden joined the race to establish colonies overseas. The Danes returned to Greenland, but also set up outposts in India. These colonial projects were quite successful. The Swedes, on the other hand, were less fortunate trying to gain a foothold in North America.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss one of the best known events and figures in Irish history. In 1014 Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, defeated the Hiberno-Norse forces of Sigtrygg Silkbeard and allies near their Dublin stronghold, with Brian losing his life on the day of battle. Soon chroniclers in Ireland and abroad were recording and retelling the events, raising the status of Brian Boru as one who sacrificed himself for Ireland, Christ-like, a connection reinforced by the battle taking place on Good Friday. While some of the facts are contested, the Battle of Clontarf became a powerful symbol of what a united Ireland could achieve by force against invaders.WithSeán Duffy Professor of Medieval Irish and Insular History at Trinity College DublinMáire Ní Mhaonaigh Professor of Celtic and Medieval Studies at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St John's College, CambridgeAnd Alex Woolf Professor of Medieval Studies at the University of St AndrewsProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Howard B.

Note: Do you hate it when politics are discussed in places you go for sports? Then skip this episode entirely or skip to 36:19. Things Discussed after 36:19 Leak to Thamel says NCAA told Michigan they'll suspend Sherrone for CMU and Nebraska. Sam: Leak is overblown—it's part of the back and forth with Michigan, not something that's been accepted. Would we take it? Brian thinks it's harsh but if this ends it, fine—you kowtow to the power and move on. Thamel aside, let's go over what Sherrone did. Facts we are relatively certain of: Sherrone deleted all of his texts off his phone around the time the Stalions thing came out, knowing he still has a copy of them. He then went and retrieved the texts for the investigators, and there was nothing incriminating on them. Seth: The question I have is whether he deleted those texts because he regularly cleans his phone, or was that unusual behavior? If it happens regularly this is just trying to make an innocuous thing sound as bad as they can. If it was unusual, then yeah, considering he's the coach now (he wasn't then), and considering how important we value transparency from people in positions of power, a two-week suspension (week->not an Urban Meyer suspension where you just sit out the game) is appropriate. Craig: Is it? If he did nothing wrong, why should he deserve a punishment? It's not a crime to not cover up what's not a crime. [Hit the JUMP for the rest of the discussion, the player, and video and stuff]  Things Discussed before 36:19: Santa Ono's departure and academic freedom (from start of the show): Turns out he was just another suit. Taking $3 million and taking his name of something he signed 2 weeks ago and go do what Ron DeSantis tells him tells you all you need to know. People are going to try to pretend this was taking a stand against the regents or because The Hammer is coming down or that this is about Warde's stance on NIL—whatever stupid narrative they want to believe in. People try to make everything fit the story they want to tell. You'd have to be a quisling to work at the University of Florida. Some empathy because becoming the face of something like that is a life-defining choice, and the nature of the job is you're going to have unreasonable people mad at you because, e.g., they think divesting Michigan from Intel will stop Netanyahu from killing Gazans to placate the far-right members of his coalition that are keeping him out of jail. Part of being the president of Michigan is you are going to have to take a stand for liberalism (as defined). Justice, knowledge, freedom of study: these liberal ideals are the foundational principles of our school, and our school is the best public university in the country. When those ideals are challenged, as they are now by an illiberal authoritarian administration in Washington, you have to tell them "No." And no, this isn't about their DEI policies either. The DEI Office was already was already the midst of being rearranged. And to be clear (Brian said, and I generally agree) we're in favor of that, because the expense of the university's bureaucracy (1 administrator to 5 students—don't quote us on that) is too much, and that money is better off being spent on housing, on improving the Go Blue Guarantee, and on more and better instructors. The most direct parts of the policy (e.g. student housing assistance) were also better off shifted, along with their funding, to parts of the administration that were already doing the same things, and the layers of forms and oversight were probably not the best way of accomplishing the admirable and necessary goal of taking responsibility for an equity of experience for students of certain minorities. Need to be clear: When the White House says "DEI" they aren't talking about Michigan's DEI office nor which books are in the library; they're talking about things like whether I can give a lecture to Dooley's class every semester on the history of integration in college athletics, or whether Women's Studies can be a subject matter. Next president, next on NIL (17 minutes) Next president: what do we want? Brian thinks it'll be another administrator off an expensive search. Seth thinks there are going to be big names calling the school because it's a prestigious job. We need someone who has values, someone who is going to stand up for the university, and (let's not forget) someone who is going to value athletics as an essential engine of the school's value. Brian's not concerned about that so much because the donors won't sit around long if we drop to 126th/134 teams in passing. It's not the donors worrying about that; it's the parts of the school that usually get lots of donations making that a concern. NIL: House settlement is going to include some sort of auditing process that is going to curtail the amount you can directly spend via NIL on players. Don't know how enforceable that is going to be. Congress is going to step in eventually to provide them an antitrust exemption or they're just going to keep getting sued. They might have done it by classifying the players as labor but that's unlikely if it happens now given the party in power who'd be crafting legislation right now is extremely anti-labor. We should say what we want in a president for Athletics: stand up for Michigan when the NCAA goes after them. Brian: Probably won't be facing any significant decisions since the big sports all have relatively new coaches (Why do you always say that?) What they need is someone who will have a spine. The Michigan community will support you. Seth: I'm not just looking for someone who'll rebel; I'm looking for someone who's going to win. Losing funding—which the government gave to the University not as a handout but because the People of the United States want, e.g., a cure for cancer and Michigan can put together the tools and best people to do that. Losing that funding would be devastating. It's not like they just stop doing the research—they already built the labs and financed it, so they'd be under water and lose capability to get it back. Brian: It's going to happen anyways. This is an administration of idiots making decisions based on wanting to hurt the people they don't like, and the University of Michigan is a bright blue beacon of every kind of value and kind of person they want to eradicate. Seth: So we don't just need a fighter; we need a uniter—someone who is going to get all the other institution's administrators (sorry, the faculty isn't the same thing), so when war comes they can win, or at least make it hurt. The towns that resisted the Danes got slaughtered and the towns that paid a danegeld just got more Danes; Alfred beat them by forming England. In the break: MGoBlog's readership, based on Google Analytics on how people voted for national offices, was about 55-45 Democrats to Republicans when I took over advertising in 2012. It's now close to 75-25, without shifting any other metrics about our readership, meaning we're still talking to (a lot more of) the same kind of (educated, hyper-curious) person, but that kind of person, if they ever were a Republican, is leaving the party now.

19. Festival Odprte hiše Slovenije OHS, z osrednjo temo Dediščina za prihodnost, odpira vprašanje: kaj je tisto, kar je danes zares pomembno in potrebno, da zgradimo in na kak način! Dediščina ni samo ohranjanje preteklosti, ne gre samo za vrednote, ki jih ima zapisane stroka spomeniškega varstva, ampak za kulturno gesto, ki jo kot družba razumemo, ko dediščino ohranjamo in jo ponovno vključujemo v vsakdanje življenje, pravi arhitektka Lenka Kavčič vodja OHS, največjega arhitekturno nepremičninskega festivala Odprte hiše Slovenije. Festivala OHS ne predstavlja le primere odlične arhitekture in razne prostorske ureditve, ampak hkrati odpira nešteto vprašanj in nas poziva na debato. Lenka Kavčič je za svoje delo prejela več mednarodnih nagrad in priznaj: Plečnikovo medaljo za projekt Igriva arhitektura, ki se ukvarja z izobraževanjem otrok o arhitekturi, in zlato medaljo na mednarodnem bienalu industrijskega oblikovanja BIO 16. Leta 2023 je bila državna sekretarka na Ministrstvu za naravne vire in prostor.

Od danes bo mogoče predčasno oddati glas za nedeljski referendum o dodatku k pokojnini za izjemne umetniške dosežke. Volivci, ki želijo predčasno oddati svoj glas, bodo to lahko storili do četrtka od 7. do 19. ure. Predčasno lahko glasujejo le v okraju stalnega prebivališča, prijava na glasovanje ni potrebna. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Izrael izvedel povračilne napade na položaje jemenskih hutijevcev, obstreljeval tudi Libanon, Sirijo in Gazo - Vajeti največjega evropskega gospodarstva bo od Olafa Scholza dopoldne prevzel novi nemški kancler Friedrich Merz - Za skoraj 7 tisoč dijakov se začenja spomladanski rok splošne mature

Politični pretres. Boleče. Sramota. To so odzivi iz nemškega parlamenta in nemških ulic potem, ko kanclerski kandidat, vodja krščanskih demokratov Friedrich Merz, v prvem glasovanju ni dobil podpore za izvolitev v desetega kanclerja, to pa se je zgodilo prvič v nemški zgodovini. Pravkar v bundestagu poteka drugo glasovanje, Merz za izvolitev tudi tokrat potrebuje absolutno večino glasov. Druge teme: - Pomanjkanje osebja zaradi nizkih plač tudi v lekarnah: ponekod po državi lekarne zapirajo ali skrajšujejo delovni čas. - Prvi dan predčasnega referendumskega glasovanja. Na SDS letijo očitki o zlorabi izjav na referendumskem letaku. - Danes zadnja kongregacija pred konklavom. Prvi poskus izbora novega papeža med 133-imi kardinali jutri popoldne.

Danes je, tako kot včeraj, praznik dela, ki je državni praznik in dela prost dan. Znotraj Evropske unije smo edina država, širom sveta pa ena redkih, ki praznovanju dela nameni tako prvi kot drugi maj. Ob tej priliki smo preverili, kako na delavske vrednote gledajo rudarji in kakšne so delavske razmere v turizmu, kjer se delo kljub prazniku ne ustavi. Druge teme: - Ameriški svetovalec za nacionalno varnost Mike Waltz zapušča položaj. - Turški predsednik Erdogan naj bi obiskal severni del Cipra, kjer potekajo množični protesti ciprskih Turkov. - Na mednarodnem razpisu SozialMarie za družbene inovacije na Dunaju slavil Časoris.

Danes je praznik dela - državni praznik in dela prost dan, ko na predvečer po državi tradicionalno zagorijo kresovi, ob katerih se pogosto vrstijo opozorila o delavskih razmerah. Tako je bilo tudi na sinočnji osrednji sindikalni prireditvi na Rožniku v Ljubljani, kjer je Andrej Zorko iz Zveze svobodnih sindikatov ocenil, da je sindikalizem na preizkušnji, saj se znati prilagajati. Druge teme: - Ukrajina in Združene države podpisala sporazum o redkih rudninah. - Od evropskih proračunskih pravil zaradi oboroževanja bo odstopila več kot polovica Unije. - Srbijo pred novimi protesti obiskala evropska komisarka za širitev Marta Kos.

Ekonomsko-socialni svet bo danes pregledal najnovejši predlog sprememb pokojninske zakonodaje. S potekom priprave zakonodajnih sprememb se je včeraj seznanila vlada. Čas za javno razpravo in zbiranje pripomb je potekel v začetku tedna, a ni pričakovati, da bi se doslej usklajena vsebina bistveno spremenila. Ker se kot družba staramo, bomo delali dve leti dlje. Na eni strani se bo odmerni odstotek za izračun pokojninske osnove postopno zvišal na 70 odstotkov, na drugi strani pa se bo podaljšalo obdobje za izračun osnove in upočasnilo usklajevanje pokojnin z rastjo plač. Minister za delo Luka Mesec je že večkrat ponovil, da novi pogoji prinašajo vzdržnost pokojninske blagajne. V oddaji tudi: - Združeno kraljestvo si tudi zaradi napetosti v Ukrajini želi več obrambnega sodelovanja z Evropsko unijo. - Na srečanju Prijateljev Zahodnega Balkana v Ljubljani pozivi k pogumnemu pristopu k širitvi. - Celje se bo po zmagi nad Olimpijo v finalu nogometnega pokala za svojo drugo lovoriko pomerilo s Koprom.

Končana je druga interpelacija o delu celotne vlade. Po štirinajstih urah razprave so v SDS predlagali sklep, naj vlada konča mandat, da bi bile jeseni lahko predčasne volitve. Koalicija je v prvih minutah današnjega dne zavrnila sklep s 43-imi glasovi proti, zapredčasne volitve je bilo 30 opozicijskih glasov. Danes bo na poslanskih klopeh opozicijski predlog zakona, ki bi omogočal delo po upokojitvi brez zmanjševanja pokojnin; vlada naj bi potrdila pokojninsko reformo, ki so jo podpisali socialni partnerji. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Ali si Evropa sploh lahko privošči oster odgovor na ameriške carine? - V Mestnem muzeju Ljubljana odpirajo razstavo o ključnih dogodkih druge svetovne vojne. - Celjske košarkarice 14-ič zapored državne prvakinje.

Konec marca so minila štiri leta od podpisa pogodbe za graditev drugega tira na odseku Črni Kal–Koper, v začetku maja pa bodo minila štiri leta od podpisa pogodbe za odsek Divača–Črni Kal. Danes na zemljišču pri Dekanih, kjer so 5. maja simbolično zakopali gradbeni stroji, že stoji tir, po njem vozijo delovni vlaki za polaganje tirnic. Če je zgrajenega že več kot 80 odstotkov drugega tira, kaj še ni? Kako turbulentno bo zadnje leto projekta, v tokratnem Studiu ob 17.00. Gostje: Alenka Bratušek, ministrica za infrastrukturo; Matej Oset, generalni direktor 2TDK; Kristjan Mugerli, Kolektor CPG; Jadran Bajec, predsednik projektnega sveta za civilni nadzor drugega tira; Gregor Ficko, zbornica gradbeništva in industrije gradbenega materiala GZS.

You can send me a text if you have a comment or questionFirst episode of a 3-episode arc on the British attacks on Copenhagen.This covers Danish history and Copenhagen history through the long 18th century.  Conflict with Sweden, intervention and peace making by Britain.  the long neutrality, Denmark as a Russian client state.  "The League of Armed Neutrality will save us!"The Palmy Days and how Denmark octupled its trade, rose to the 2nd largest merchant fleet in the world, and then sailed too close to the wind.  The Danes benefit greatly from this situation the Royal Navy has established, driving the French, Dutch and Spanish off the high seas, but they refuse to play by the Royal Navy's rules.  The whole episode is a colossal misjudgment by Czar Paul and Denmark.  Czar Paul at least has the excuse of being insane.This makes heavy use of Gareth Glover's The Two battles of Copenhagen.

Državni zbor bo predvidoma 14 ur razpravljal o interpelaciji proti vladi. SDS jo je vložila, potem ko se premier Robert Golob ni želel opravičiti za izjave, da je druga Janševa vlada kriva za slabši položaj upokojencev. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Verniki se bodo od danes lahko poslovili od umrlega papeža Frančiška v vatikanski baziliki svetega Petra. - Ukrajinski predsednik Volodimir Zelenski izrazil pripravljenost na neposredna pogajanja z Rusijo. - Knjiga je največja možnost za vnovičen zagon človečnosti, je ob svetovnem dnevu knjige poudaril predsednik PEN-a Marij Čuk.

Systemic therapists are well suited to consult organizations given the structural concepts pioneered by early family therapists. Additionally, family therapists are suited for consultant work with organizations because of their interest in the welfare of the individuals and the system. This interest allows the family therapists to work toward improving the interactions between managers and employees, for example, to strengthen the system's productivity. Connect with me --> https://drmatmonharrell.bio.link/Written by Dr. Matmon Harrell References Allen, K.R., & Henderson, A.C.

This one got a little heavy on the inuendos, sorry?    I'm done. No more descriptions. From now on, I'll just write about interesting facts in history. Did you know Nordic Runes have more meaning than just being a letter? Each individual "letter" also has profound spiritual, emotional, and social meaning. The rune making the "S" sound in Elder Futhark, for example, also means sun or victory. Over time, especially after the Viking age, the language used by Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians diverged from each other due to outside cultural and religious influences, with runes dying out almost entirely, except in Sweden, where they were used until the 1800s! I just like the idea of letters inside of names having more, and deeper meaning than just their phonetic sounds. The Vikings were sick. Thank you for listening!! Also, if you read this, look up what the letters in your name mean in Elder Futhark. It's pretty friggen cool.    Email: Hotcrossbunspod@gmail.com Instagram/Tiktok: @hotcrossbunspod

As the long Danish winter finally draws to an end, it's time for Danes to start planting their gardens.  Now, in early April, it's rhubarb, parsnips, cabbage. After the risk of frost is gone, in late April, you can put down some beets, and chives, and parsley – all good traditional Danish food.  By May, you can try with the tomatoes, which may or may not ripen depending on whether you get a warm, sunny summer, always a roll of the dice in Denmark. One year we ended up with hard, green tomatoes in September.  Short growing season The growing season in Denmark is short. If you miss the planting deadlines, you're probably out of luck.  And even if you are in luck, the amount you spend at the garden center will far outstrip the amount it would take you to buy the same foods at the corner market. But Danes love to garden, they love to touch the Earth. Denmark industrialized fairly late compared to the rest of Europe – really not until the late 19th century – and even then it focused on cooperative agriculture for export. Denmark is still known around the world for its butter and bacon. The "gaard" is the family farm Many Danes still carry the name of their family farm in the name they use today.  The Danish word for farm is “gaard”, so the names of jewelry designer Ole Lynggaard, or golfer Nicolai Højgaard, or politician Pia Kjærsgaard, all reference what was once the family farm, the “gaard”. This love for nature why weather is always an appropriate topic of conversation among Danes. They're also very good at historical weather. They'll tell you that the rains this April are just like the rains of April 2014, or that we haven't seen this type of wind since the summer of 2006. Colony gardens If you live in Denmark with a house in the suburbs with – parcel houses, they're often called – you have lots of room for gardening. But people who live in apartments often have what is called “colony gardens.” Colony gardens are a little patch of land set aside in the cities, or near them, for urban residents to have a garden. They usually build a little house on the plot as well, although you're only allowed to live there during the summer. The electricity and the water usually get switched off during the winter.  The houses are generally wooden, small, cramped, and a little thrown-together. There are often chipped plates and glasses, old chairs with cushions in a grandmotherly fabric, a few board games ready for rainy days. A flag pole and a big Danish flag to put up for holidays. And always, always, they are surrounded by a hedge for privacy.  The colony gardens are run by an association, so you're supposed to be friends with your neighbors, but keep them at a distance. Good fences make good neighbors and all that.  Getting a colony garden requires either buying one or getting on a long, long list to get one, which means that very few of the 15% non-ethnic Danish residents of Denmark have colony gardens. As I mentioned in an earlier podcast, the list of residents tends to look like the 1957 Copenhagen phone book.  The Unity Garden In my Copenhagen neighborhood, which is extremely diverse, there was initiative to change this a few years ago. A little bit of land freed up by the railroad tracks, and the idea was to create a Unity Garden. Half of the land was set off for people who were not born in Denmark, and half was set off for people who were.  The idea was to meet up, work together, exchange knowledge, have summer picnics, meet across cultures.  Read more at howtoliveindenmark.com

Following the bloody St Brice's Day Massacre, of the 13th of November 1002, which saw King Æthelred brutally exterminating the Danes from England, the Vikings were hungry for revenge. None more so than the terrifying Scandinavian King, Sweyn Forkbeard. Having capitalised on his famous father, Harold Bluetooth's unification of Norway and Denmark, through his aggressive christianisation of the formerly pagan peoples there, Sweyn had built up a formidable force. It was this power that Æthelred had unwisely taunted, underestimating the might of the Danes. He would pay the price only a few short months later when Sweyn's terrible fleet landed at Wilton Abbey in Wessex - one of the greatest symbols of the House of Alfred the Great - to bleed England dry, and destroy her King. Time and time again, from this date onwards, Sweyn's Danish raids would devastate England, even going so far as to lock the Archbishop of Canterbury in a cage…by 1013 Æthelred's reign was essentially over, his family having fled to Normandy, and England under Danish rule. But then, the death of Sweyn Forkbeard would change everything, setting in motion another titanic war of succession, this time pitting the Scandinavian Cnut against Æthelred's son Edmund Ironside. Who would triumph in this climactic clash of would-be kings? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the revenge of the vikings and the rise of Cnut, as 1066 and the Battle of Hastings loom into view...
