Podcast appearances and mentions of Helen Davies

The complete audiobook is available for purchase at Audible.com: https://n9.cl/x7se0n Diverging Roads By Rose Wilder Lane Narrated by Martha H. Weller Diverging Roads, set sometime between 1912 and 1919, is one of Lane's earliest published novels (1919). It is somewhat autobiographical and depicts the life of Helen Davies.We meet Helen when she is about to graduate from high school and is in love with a fellow student, Paul. Both of their families are struggling financially. Paul must support his widowed mother; he begins work immediately—and over the course of the novel proves to be a good, hard-working man whose greatest ambition is to provide for his loved ones, Helen included. Initially, Helen doesn't want to work, but her family needs money. Also, she hopes that her working might hasten the day when she and Paul can marry. But Helen is naïve when she leaves for Sacramento to learn telegraphy. This book is gently feministic—we see Helen struggle against prejudice and poverty, and also discover her own indomitable spirit. She pursues telegraphy, then real estate, and finally writing. She makes mistakes, learns from them and eventually comes to a solid understanding of her own nature. Lane is a wonderful storyteller. She paints vivid pictures of the world Helen encounters and the work she pursues. While touching on sensitive topics such as a woman's role in the world, the novel is never mean-spirited. It is an uplifting tale of one woman's journey along the many paths life presents her.

Helen Davies was already a mother – but she desperately wanted a second child.

Poznejme dějiny i vlastnosti této naší jedinečné schopnosti …od prvních forem života na dně oceánu až po nová zjištění moderní vědy. Proč je dobré chodit? Co se děje v mozku, když se hýbeme? Co je to bipedie a proč je pro člověka tak specifická? Chůze: prospívá svalům, zlepšuje držení těla, chrání a uzdravuje orgány, zpomaluje proces stárnutí mozku… …a dokonce ho může i zvrátit. Díky mozku a nervové soustavě se umíme proplétat davem a orientovat se podle „vnitřní GPS“. Když se mozek rozpohybuje, začínáme myslet kreativněji, zlepší se nám nálada a odplaví se stres. A když kráčíme s někým bok po boku za stejným cílem, podporuje to naši soudržnost. Společná chůze je tmelem, který nás jako lidstvo vždy držel pohromadě a pomáhal nám přežít. Kniha je pro vás, pokud máte dvě nohy a umíte chodit, umíte chodit vzpříměně, chcete být zdravější, kreativnější a spokojenější, chcete lépe pochopit, proč naše města vypadají, jak vypadají, chcete zjistit, jak si chůzí dopomoci k zdravějšímu mozku, už jste příliš dlouho seděli a víte, že to není úplně správné. Musíme znovu začít chodit. Ať už po horách, po parku, nebo prostě jen do školy a do práce. V knize se dozvíte Proč je pro člověka chůze tak důležitá a přínosná Jak se naše schopnost chodit vyvíjela a my se díky ní dostali všude Jak a proč funguje mechanismus chůze tak spolehlivě Proč bychom měli na chůzi myslet při designu a architektuře měst Proč je chůze důležitá nejenom pro tělo, ale i mysl a mozek Jak můžeme díky pohybu myslet kreativněji a být zdravější Jak dokáže chůze přispět k zlepšovaní a změnám ve společnosti Dovolme této knize, která je doslova ódou na chůzi, ať nás obohatí o cenné poznatky týkající se chození, ať už jde o jeho pozitivní účinky na lidské zdraví, radost z pohybu nebo jeho mechanické principy. Pak jistě pochopíme, jak je důležité vstát, začít chodit, a objevit tak své šťastnější, zdravější a vynalézavější já. Proč je chůze důležitá? Je holistická: každý její aspekt prospívá každému aspektu našeho bytí. Je pro každého a je to činnost, která je pro nás zcela přirozená. Je prospěšná nejen pro naše tělo a mozek, ale i pro celou společnost. Zprostředkovává nám multisenzorické vnímání světa ve všech jeho tvarech, podobách, zvucích a pocitech, neboť při chůzi je mozek využíván mnohými rozmanitými způsoby Společné pochodování za určitým účelem – může být účinným popudem k opravdové změně ve společnosti. Je pro nás životně důležitá, a to jak z individuálního, tak i kolektivního hlediska. Proto by se měla odrážet ve způsobu uspořádání našeho života a společnosti. Je třeba, aby veřejná politická rozhodnutí plně reflektovala to, proč nás chůze činí tak jedinečně lidskými, a tuto skutečnost zabudovala i do městského a příměstského plánování. Dělá z nás sociální tvory tím, že osvobozuje ruce pro používání nástrojů a pro gesta, díky nimž vyjadřujeme ostatním nějaký význam. Umožňuje, abychom se mohli držet za ruce a vysílat zamilované signály. Umožňuje nám poskytnout si vzájemnou fyzickou oporu. Po přečtení O'Marovy knihy budete vědět proč si vybíráte konkrétní trasy po okolí, je během cestování nejlepší chodit, chodit, chodit – zejména po největších městech světa, jsou věci, se kterými v práci bojujete, po procházce najednou snazší, máte s přáteli, se kterými chodíte (na procházku), silnější vztahy, můžete mít již po třech dnech bez chůze abstinenční bolesti. Řekli o knize „Překvapivě fascinující vědecká úvaha o nejobyčejnější lidské činnosti.“ ― Ron Charles, Washington Post „Dostatečně informativní a přesvědčivá, aby probudila i toho nejzarytějšího gaučového povaleče.“ ― Jonathon Keats, New Scientist „Poctivý ve svém rozsahu, aktuální ve své naléhavosti a přesvědčivý ve své prezentaci…. O'Mara se věnuje zdánlivě prozaickému tématu a ukazuje, jak fascinující a životně důležité ve skutečnosti je.“ ― Michael Berry, Sierra „Úchvatné a výstižné… O'Mara dokáže poutavě vplést historii, filozofii a poezii do vědecké literatury.“ ― M.R. O'Connor, Undark „Jak O'Mara jasně říká, každá procházka je transformativní. Rozšiřuje mozkové buňky, nastartuje svaly, uvolňuje tvůrčího ducha a zlepšuje náladu. Tato kniha by mohla – a měla – změnit váš život.“ ― Florence Williams, autor knihy The Nature Fix „Přesvědčivé… Chvála chůze je prošpikována postřehy o všem možném, od básníků a flâneurů 19. století až po moderní experimenty se subjekty hrajícími videohry ve skeneru fMRI.“ ― Helen Davies, Sunday Times Autor: Shane O'Mara Typ knihy: audiokniha, e-kniha, tištěná kniha Vydavatelství: Nakladatelství Audiolibrix Vazba: pevná vazba Délka audioknihy: 7:51 h Počet stránek knihy: 224 Původní název: In Praise of Walking Audioknihu Proč chodíme si můžete koupit v nejlepším obchodě s audioknihami Audiolibrix.

Infant sleep. Sleep training. Sleep regressions. To swaddle or not to swaddle. Noise machines or not. Black out blinds or not. Teaching babies to self soothe. Putting babies down drowsy but awake. Co sleep or not? Feed and rock to sleep or let them do it on their own? There is not shortage of questions that new parents have when they come home from the hospital with their newborns. Dr. Google can be confusing, because there seems to be a lot of information out there on opposite ends of the spectrum, from wait it out to cry it out. What if there were a solution somewhere in the middle? A solution that takes both the parents' and the baby's needs into consideration so that everyone can have their needs met and get some sleep?Today on the show, pediatric nurse and sleep and feeding coach, Helen Davies of Essential Parenting discusses all of this and more, including tips on setting your child up for the best chance of having a great night's sleep. If you've got a child on the way or are in the thick of new motherhood wondering how to get your baby to sleep, Helen can help. Enjoy and wishing you many full nights of sleep in the very near future, mama!For full show notes, visit www.themomfeed.com

Dansk teater och films första dam i samtal om den musik som betyder mest för henne. Ghita föddes in i musiken. Far och bror operasångare och mor klassisk pianist. I Karen Blixens röst hör Ghita musik.   Möt dansk teater och films första dam, Ghita Nørby, i en Tonträff från 11 juni 1995. Då hade Ghita Nørby just fyllt 60 år. Som mycket ung träffade Ghita Nørby den danska författarinnan Karen Blixen och upplevde att Karin Blixen hade ett instrument inbyggd i sin stämma en fantastisk historieberättare. Hör Karen Blixens musikaliska röst i programmet. Karen Blixen bad sin nära vän, danska kungliga teaterns sceneregissör Erling Schroeder, att till en tebjudning ta med sig en hop unga flickor som Karen Blixen kallade hans "fågelbur". Med det menade Karen Blixen de tre unga skådespelerskorna Susse Wold, Lone Hertz och Ghita Nørby. - Men tyvärr var jag för ung när jag träffade Karen Blixen, alltför självcentrerad och egoistisk och imponerad av att vara där. Därför fattade jag inte helt vad det var för en person jag var tillsammans med. Men jag har aldrig glömt bort det och hon står totalt levande för mig. Sedan jag blev vuxen har jag läst det mesta av hennes författarskap. - Karen Blixen brydde sig mycket om andra människor. Hon blev ett utflyktsmål till exempel för kvinnor som lämnat sina män i Köpenhamn eller prostituerade och andra som var hungriga. Mitt i natten besökte de henne i Rungstedlund, två och en halv mil norr om Köpenhamn, och då steg Karen Blixen upp och pratade hela natten med de här personerna! Lyssna också på Ghita Nørbys upplevelser av sin operasjungande far Einar Nørbys röst och danska språk, sin brors Claus Nørbys röst, Mozarts musik och musik av de amerikanska jazzlegenderna Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday och Lester Young. Med operasångerskan Maria Callas identifierar sig Ghita Nørby och "tar med henne" varje gång hon går in på teater- eller filmscenen. Ghita berättar varför Maria Callas är hennes skyddsängel. Även skådespelarna Peter Ustinov och Peter Sellers musikaliska röster älskar Ghita Nørby.   Låtlista: Husker du i høst Peter Heise/Carl Ploug Einar Nørby Medlemmar av det kgl.
