"Elfa - suns, ne cilvēks" ir stāsts par labradori Elfu, kas jau vairāku gadu garumā ne tikai palīdz savai saimniecei Baibai ikdienas gaitās, bet ir arī tuvākais draugs. Par Latvijā vienīgo suni - asistentu Elfu un stāstu rakstīšanu Kultūras rondo stāsta grāmatas autore Baiba Baikovska un rakstniece Inga Gaile.   Inga Gaile šo Baibas Baikovskas darbu dēvē par mīlestības dziesmu sunim. Viņa atklāj, ka sastapšanās abām notikusi kādā diskusijā par dažādību pirms vairākiem gadiem, kur diskusijas vadītāja mudinājusi Ingu Gaili uzrunāt Baibu Baikovsku piedalīties "Sieviešu stendapā". Viņa piekritusi un iesaistījusies. Pēc kāda laika, strādājot pie grāmatas "Jaukumiņš", Inga Gaile aicinājusi Baibu Baikovsku pievienoties un rakstīt kopā, lai darbs labāk veiktos.  "Tur mēs rakstījām un daudz runājām par rakstīšanu. Tajā brīdī viņa strādāja pie sava romāna, kas ir cits darbs nevis "Elfa – suns, ne cilvēks," atklāj Inga Gaile. Baiba atturīgi piebilst, jā – romāns, varbūt lasītāji par to arī neuzzinās, varbūt kaut kad uzzinās. Rakstīt par Elfu Baibau Baikovsku savā ziņā iedrošinājis "Sieviešu stendaps", tas, ka pamani kuriozās ikdienas situācijas. "Ejot pa dzīvi domā, kā to pastāstīt. Ar Elfu jau arī viskautkas notiek. Viņa gudra, ļoti gudra, ārkārtīgi gudra, bet viņa ir suns. Ir dažādas suņu izdarības, kas ir arī aprakstītas grāmatā, gan našķošanās pie brīvdabas Zviedru galda, kaķi. Ir dabiskas lietas," stāsta Baiba Baikovska. Apēsto lietu sarakstā ir arī Bībele un kristīgie materiāli.  "Ēšana viņai joprojām ir pirmajā vietā. Nezinu, kas viņai ir pirmajā vietā - es vai ēšana. Gribētos domāt, ka es, bet ja būtu banāni, nezinu… Ļoti garšo banāni. Par banānu, man liekas, viņa viskautko pārdotu," atklāj Baiba Baikovska. Elfa joprojām ir vienīgais suns-asistents Latvijā. Pavadoni ir vieglāk atrast, bet asistentam ir jābūt vēl tuvāk cilvēkam, līdz tādam līmenim, ka zina, kurā brīdi kas jāpalīdz cilvēkam. Inga Gaile vērtē, ka visiem, kas lasīs grāmatu, ir laimējies, ka Baiba stāsta savu pieredzi caur tik maigiem jokiem. Pastāsta diezgan traģiskas pieredzes. Traģisko caur komisko pastāstīt mācās arī "stendapā". "Runājot par palīdzību, mēs arī kā sabiedrība ļoti uzsveram neatkarību, arī cilvēku ar invaliditāti organizācijās uzsveram būšanu patstāvīgam un neatkarīgam, kas ir forši, jo viss ir novedis šeit, kur tagad esmu. Bet caur dažādām sāpīgām pieredzēm, arī mācoties pieņemt palīdzību. Un tad redzēt, cik daudz Elfai tas sagādā prieku un sajūsmu palīdzēt, piemēram, kad es notizlojos un nometu kaut ko. Ar olām vispār nav problēmu, tās viņai garšo, savāc mājās," vērtē Baiba Baikovska. Ja saimniece grib būt neatkarīga, Elfai ir garlaicīgi. Viņai ir prieks palīdzēt. Sarunā Baiba Baikovska arī atklāj, ka turpina rakstīt, bet pagaidām par to nevēlas runāt. Kad raksta, gribas vairāk klusuma, tāpēc mēdz braukt uz Ventspils rakstnieku māju, par ko gan nav īsti sajūsmā tur mītošais kaķis. Baiba Baikovska ir enerģiska jauna sieviete, ieguvusi izglītību Rīgas Stradiņa universitātē. Šobrīd viņa vada biedrības "Agape Latvija" nozari "Spēju kustība", lasa arī lekcijas un uzstājas stāvizrādēs. Baiba ir cilvēks ar kustību traucējumiem, ikdienu galvenokārt vada ratiņkrēslā, bet tas viņai nav šķērslis dzīvot piepildītu un skaistu dzīvi, un tajā viņai palīdz gan mīloši līdzcilvēki, gan, protams, arī Elfa. Zīmīgi, ka grāmatas atvēršanas svētki notika tieši Elfas 10. dzimšanas dienā.

Había una vez un mundo mágico llamado Aetheria, gobernado por una poderosa reina llamada Elenia. Elenia era una elfa  de ojos verdes y cabello dorado que parecía tener vida propia ya que desprendia un brillo de fantasia cuando ella se movia. En Aetheria, la magia fluía a través de cada rincón delmundo. Los bosques tenían arboles que eran capaces de cantar hermosas melodíasy cuando elenia o cualquiera de los habitantes de Aetheria caminaba entre elloslos arboles sincronizaban sus voces y todos cantaban una misma tonada. , losríos brillaban con luces parpadeantes y las aguas que transportaban cambiabande color a medida que el día pasaba, los prados tenían igualmente multiplescolores y brillos que hacían relucir como si fueran joyas esparcidas en lapradera,  y las noches eran tan oscurasque las estrellas en el cielo se veían más brillantes que en cualquier otrolugar. Pero Aetheria era un lugar secreto. Era un lugar mágico oculto dentro de un mundo de seres humanos. Para llegar a Aetheria era necesario cruzar un desierto que ningún humano había cruzado anteriormente. Un día, un joven humano llamado Aidan que era uncomerciarte que recorria lo que en ese momento se conocía como la ruta de laseda, perdió el camino debido a una tormenta de arena. Sus camellos seapartaron de el  y huyeron. Aidan solo yabandonado por sus camellos se adentro en el desierto y después de cruzar una montañarocosa vio ante si un paisaje que creyó era un espejismo. Sus ojos no lo podíancreer. Hasta donde alcanzaba su vista había un paraíso de multiples colores,con bosques, ríos, prados y animales que jamás había visto anteriormente. Aidanpensó que estaba soñando ya que jamás había oído de un paraje como este en elmedio de un desierto de cientos de kilometros. Elenia que todo lo sabía y conocía,sintió que alguien desconocido había entrado en su reino secreto y envió ungrupo de pájaros a que encontraran y trajeran al intruso a su presencia. Los pájarosvolaron y allí en el borde del reino encontraron a Aidan. Con sus alas lorodearon y haciendo un torbellino en el aire llamaron la atención del humanoque finalmente los siguió hasta el centro mismo de aquel bosque, donde vio unahermosa Elfa que lo esperaba sonriente. Elenia le pregunto que lo traía poraquellos lugares y Aidan le comento que estaba simplemente perdido. Aidan estaba impresionado por todo lo que veía, peroestaba más intrigado por la magia que rodeaba Aetheria. Elenia, reconociendo lacuriosidad de Aidan, decidió mostrarle la fuente de magia de su mundo: un árbolmágico llamado "El árbol de la vida".El árbol de la vida era el corazón de Aetheria yproporcionaba la energía que mantenía vivo el mundo mágico. Elenia le explicó aAidan que, si el árbol de la vida moria, todo Aetheria moriría lentamente conel. Aidan noto que algo extraño sucedia ya que los ojos verdes de aquella elfa se veían tristes. Con mucha cuidado le pregunto que le pasaba que notaba cierta tristeza. Y una lagrima salto de los ojos verdes. Elenia le contó a Aidan que en la montaña al final del bosque se estaban oyendo ruidos que presagiaban un terrible suceso. Era el despertar de el dragón que llevaba 1000 años dormido. Según la leyenda este dragón se alimentaba de las hojas del árbol de la vida. Y si salia de su cueva en la montaña iría directo hacia el árbol de la vida y lo devoraría. Y Aetheria moriría. Le dijo además que había una sola solución. Volver a dormir al dragón. Aidan que llevaba muchos años recorriendo reinos, desiertos y toda clase de lugares había cultivado un alma aventurera y sin dudarlo le dijo a Elenia que como podrían dormir de nuevo al dragón.

Por fin llega el primer gran caso de Jennifer en GLK/B: la defensa de Emil Blonsky, alias Abominación, mientras una Elfa de Luz le roba la identidad a Megan Thee Stallion, la Brigada de Demolición hace su debut, y Wong se consolida como el personaje más grande del MCU, en nuestro episodio favorito de She-Hulk hasta el momento. De acá no se va nadie sin perrear.

I believe you can find room for creativity and art if you really want to include them in your life. On today's episode of the Self Taught Artist, we're talking about how to make the most of a small art studio at home, or, what to do if you have no dedicated art space at home. Lots of great tips are coming your way on how to store your art supplies, maximize vertical space, and even use some creativity to create an art studio out of a closet! One of the roadblocks I hear aspiring artists talk about is not having an art space and how that gets in the way of making art. I know it is a bit of a hassle to always be rummaging around for supplies and not know where things are or constantly pack and unpack them. So that's why today we're talking about how to get creative with designing your home art studio – no matter how much space you have or don't have! If art is important to you, let's find a way to make it happen. Here are some links to items I mention on the show: My favorite rolling carts for artist supplies: Elfa at the Container Store (there are lots of other sizes and styles available that you can add wheels to.) Option 1 - Elfa Link Option 2: Elfa Link Ikea Drop-Leaf Furniture: Kallhaell Table Bjursta wall mounted drop-leaf table

Hillbilly stuff... lots of hillbilly stuff...

If it's time for a closet redo, here's some inspo from my Dad's with an assist from The Container Store's Elfa shelving system. I landed in Tennessee this summer and got the news that Dad's closet shelves had collapsed! I got straight to work on rescuing it from an overflowing wardrobe, too many shoes, and keepsakes that were stashed deep beneath the crashed hanging rod and wire rack.  The new custom design with easy-to-mount shelving was a great solution for hanging his dressy and casual clothes, plus storing his dress shoes, sneakers, and accessories after a good purge of the items he was no longer wearing.    Highlights from this episode: (01:01) Having fun in my Dad's closet (05:03) 3 simple steps (08:55) Measure twice, go shopping once (13:12) Customize your shelving (17:00) How to hang high shelves and keep it functional   Mentioned on this episode: Ep 1: The 3 E's Philosophy Ep 122: Have a Purge Party Ep 124: When & What to Paint  I hope this episode inspires you to rework your closet if the current shelving and hanging situation is not serving you well.    Ready to feel the peace and freedom that comes from getting organized without the stress and overwhelm?

Dagur B Eggertsson, borgarstjóri, var í símanum en í dag verða kynnt áform borgarinnar um uppbyggingu íbúðarhúsnæðis næstu árin, til að mynda fjölda íbúða, hvar helstu svæðin verða og fyrir hvaða hópa á að byggja. Græna planið svonefnda verður kynnt og Dagur sagði okkur aðeins frá þessu. Hjólreiðafélag Reykjavíkur ásamt samstarfsaðilum stendur þessa dagana fyrir samfélagslegu átaksverkefni undir myllumerkinu hvetja sem snýst um að auka jákvæðni í samfélaginu og passa upp á líkamlegt og andlegt heilbrigði.

Hún fylgist vel með stjórnmálum vestra, ekki síst tengslunum milli lagasetningar og stefnumótunar í fjölmiðlamálum og hvaða áhrif þau hafa haft á þróun bandarískra stjórnmála. Elfa Ýr kom til okkar og ræddi aðkomu og áhrif fjölmiðla á kosningarnar og spáði í spilin fyrir komandi kjördag. Freyr Gígja Gunnarsson gladdi okkur með hressandi molum úr Hégómavísindahorninu, en þar komu George Clooney, Sam Neill og John Stewart m.a. við sögu.
