Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 77-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,603 on turnover of 2.3-billion N-T. The market closed flat on Tuesday as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing saw its early gains eroded due to stiff resistance ahead of the critical 1,000 N-T per share mark - despite the opening of Computex in Taipei. Lai calls Beijing an 'aggressor' that threatens peace President Lai Ching-te has marked the first anniversary of his taking office by holding a press conference during which he accused Beijing of being an "aggressor" by threatening peace across the Taiwan Strait. However, despite branding China as an "aggressor," Lai also reiterated his openness to continuing exchanges and collaborations with China provided that each side treats the other equally and with respect. According to Lai, he remains willing to "engage in dialogue instead of confrontation" and work with China toward peace and prosperity. Lai also told reporters that many countries, including Taiwan, are under the threat of aggressors - but Taiwan is, on the contrary, committed to pursuing (追求) peace. CDC reporting 88% rise in COVID outpatients and emergency visits The Centers for Disease Control is reporting an 88.2-per cent weekly increase in the number of COVID outpatient and emergency visits last week. According to the C-D-C, there were 19,097 outpatient and emergency visits from between May 11 and 17. Although that figure is up from the previous week, it was still lower than same period of last year. C-D-C Deputy Director-General Philip Luo says the current COVID outbreak will peak in mid-to-late June, when weekly outpatient and emergency visits reach between 55,000 and 65,000 and it will continue through the end of July. SA president to meet Trump on Wednesday amid deteriorating relations South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is due to meet his US counterpart Donald Trump today. The crunch talks come amid ideological (思想) differences, geopolitical alliances, and domestic policy conflicts. Kate Fisher reports from Washington UN Sounds Warning on Colombia Indigenous Groups The United Nations human rights office in Colombia says that five Indigenous groups in northern Colombia's mountain range face “physical and cultural” extinction. The UN says this threat stems from armed group conflicts over their territory and insufficient (不足的) state protection. Colombia's representative for the UN High Commissioner for Human Right says the risk of physical and cultural extinction of Indigenous People of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is “an ongoing (持續存在的) tragedy that we can and must prevent.” He urged the Colombian government to protect the Indigenous groups, whose combined population is approximately 55-thousand people. In 2022, UNESCO added the ancestral knowledge of these Indigenous groups to its Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list. That was the I.C.R.T.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 20! The Titanic sank over 110 years ago, but people are still fascinated with the disaster. This is especially true when there are new stories that come out about The RMS Titanic that are relatable or pique our curiosity. Hearing about the eight Chinese nationals who were on the Titanic as passengers and the six who survived is one of those moments where we learned something new, and we felt that we could relate to the story. But we wouldn't have known about this obscure bit of ignored history without the work of our guest, Steven Schwankert.  Steven is an award-winning editor and author who seeks adventure and truth. His work researching and writing about the eight Chinese nationals and six survivors of the RMS Titanic resulted in both a documentary (completed by his creative partner Arthur Jones) as well as a new non-fiction book (completed by him)… both entitled The Six.  In our conversation with Steven, we discuss his process of research, some of the narratives that came out of their discoveries, the treatment of the Chinese nationals who survived the disaster, the experience of providing closure for living relatives of these Chinese Nationals, seeking truth, and so much more. The Six book and documentary were both really informative engaging. If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

Local law enforcement claim the outlet abused a COVID-era loan scheme and arrested one of its directors for alleged fraud. Still, the closure fits a well-worn pattern: using financial and legal repression to silence independent media in Hong Kong. Pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily faced a nearly identical fate in 2021 when its assets were seized and its founder, Jimmy Lai, was imprisoned under Hong Kong's new national security law. Lai now faces up to life in prison. When access to money becomes contingent on political obedience, press freedom can't survive.

Pasaules hokeja čempionātā Latvijas izlasei turpinnās atpūtas dienas pēc aizvadītām četrām spēlēm, kurā piedzīvotas divas uzvaras un divi zaudējumi. Vakar aizvadīta arī komandas fotografēšanās, kas vienmēr ir gan jautrs pasākums, kurā piedalījās arī Rodrigo Ābols, kurš ieradies Stokholmā. Viņš arī nedaudz iesildījās pēc pārlidojuma - slidoja un meta ripas pa vārtiem. Ieskats foto sesijas norisē šeit. Nākamā spēle Latvijas izlasei rīt, 17. maijā, pret Somiju. Lai atbalstītu mūsu komandu, uz Stokholmu dodas arī jaunas fanu grupas. Atbalstīt Latvijas izlasi dodas arī tautieši, kas strādā Ziemeļvalstīs. Kas jāņem vērā faniem, lai, dodoties uz spēlēm līdzi būtu viss vajadzīgais un nebūtu nepatīkamu pārsteigumu arēnā, stāsta sporta tūrisma braucienu organizatore Ludmila Alampasu. Galvenais - nedrīkst būt līdzi nekādas somas un somiņas, lielas kabatas ir ļoti noderīgas.  

An Interview with Mark L. Clifford, Author and Editor For more than four years, one of the greatest entrepreneurs in Hong Kong's history has been in solitary confinement on sham charges that could lead to imprisonment for life. Despite being held in a small cell, 77-year-old Jimmy Lai has become one of Beijing's greatest threats and one of the world's most courageous leaders in the fight for freedom. Our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom is Mark L. Clifford, Lai's close friend and an advocate for freedom in Hong Kong. He shares Lai's remarkable story, from his childhood in poverty, to his rise as a successful business owner and newspaper publisher, to his stand against tyranny. This year, The Bradley Foundation has awarded Lai with an Honorary Bradley Prize for his unwavering commitment to the ideals of freedom. Topics Discussed on this Episode: Lai's childhood on mainland China and why he fled to Hong Kong How Lai was able to quickly rise above his circumstances The influence of free market ideas on Lai's career and life The impact of Tiananmen Square and the massacre of 1989 Lai's introduction to Catholicism and how religion shaped his belief system Lai's decision to stay in Hong Kong and take a stand for freedom Lai's state of mind after more than four years in prison Why the Chinese Communist Party fears Lai Whether there's hope for Hong Kong's democratic movement About Mark L. Clifford: Clifford is president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong, the former executive director of the Asia Business Council, and a former board member at Next Digital. He is editorial chair of the Asian Review of Books and served as editor in chief of both English-language papers in Hong Kong, The Standard and the South China Morning Post.

NATO jaunais mērķis varētu būt 3,5 % aizsardzībai un 1,5 % plašākai drošībai. Saeima pārliecinoši noraida "Stabilitātei!" ieceri ļaut pašvaldību vēlēšanās balsot arī nepilsoņiem. Lai arī samazinās ievesto kravu skaits no abām agresorvalstīm - Krievijas un Baltkrievijas, joprojām to skaits ir liels. Latvijas hokeja izlasei Stokholmā pievienojas uzbrucējs Rodrigo Ābols.

 “Smadzenes ir mūsu personības kodols.” Rūpējoties par smadzeņu veselību, mēs vienlaikus rūpējamies arī par savas dzīves kvalitāti nākotnē.Smadzenes ir viens no sarežģītākajiem un nozīmīgākajiem orgāniem – tās vada visu, sākot no domāšanas un atmiņas līdz elpošanai un kustībām.Un – vai zinājāt, ka smadzenes noveco gluži tāpat kā mūsu ķermenis? Lai gan šis process ir dabisks un neizbēgams, to ir iespējams palēnināt.

Visticamāk, būsiet pamanījuši, ka dažas Vecrīgas ielas aizvadītā pusgada laikā bija aizņēmis lielais kino. Vairākas epizodes savai jaunākajai filmai uzņēma arī japāņu izcelsmes amerikāņu režisors Kerijs Džoudži Fukunaga (Cary Joji Fukunaga). Tā top pēc norvēģu kriminālromānu autora Jū Nesbē grāmatas "Asinis uz sniega" (Blood on Snow) motīviem. Kultūras rondo saruna ar režisoru pirms viņš devās prom no Latvijas. 47 gadus vecais japāņu izcelsmes amerikāņu režisors Kerijs Džoudži Fukunaga pasaulē ir zināms gan kā režisors, gan izpildproducents, gan scenārists. Viņa spilgtāko darbu sarakstā ir tādas filmas, kā aģents 007 Džeims Bonds „No Time To Die” jeb „Nav laika mirt”, TV seriāla „True Detective” pirmā sezona, kas vēl šobaltdien tiek uzskatīta par žanra šedevru, kā arī vēsturiskā drāma „Džeina Eira”. Fukunaga ir strādājis ar tādām pasaules mēroga zvaigznēm kā Daniels Kreigs, Maikls Fasbenders, Eva Grīna, Džūdija Denča, Benedikts Kamberbačs, Vudijs Harelsons, Metju Makhonahijs un vēl daudziem citiem. Aizvadītā pusgada laikā Fukunaga vairākas epizodes savai jaunākajai filmai „Asinis uz sniega”, kas tapusi pēc slavenā norvēģu kriminālromānu autora Jū Nesbē darba "Blood on Snow" motīviem, filmēja Rīgā. Šobrīd filmēšanas darbi ir beigušies un Kerijs Fukunaga pirms došanās prom piekrita īsai sarunu. Viņš atnāca uz Latvijas Radio māju un uzreiz teica, ka šī būtu ļoti laba kino lokācija. Ir darba dienas vēls vakars un ar režisoru sarunājamies Kultūras rondo redakcijā gan par kino, gan viņa kā brīvprātīgā darbu kara plosītajā Ukrainā un arī par to, ko Amerikas kinoļaudis domā par savas valsts ārpolitiku šobrīd. Kā Rīga nokļuva jūsu redzes lokā filmas "Asinis uz sniega" vajadzībām? Kerijs Fukunaga: Mūsu lokāciju menedžerei Marijai Derkevičai jau bija iestrādes Rīgā no iepriekšējās filmas izpētes, un tā filmas diemžēl netika pabeigta. Bet viņa, zinot mūsu vajadzības, zināja teikt, ka Rīgā ir ļoti daudz līdzīgu un raksturīgu ēku, kas atgādina 70. gadu Oslo, un tieši šajā laika posmā risinās "Asinis uz sniega" darbība. Pati Oslo mūsdienās galīgi neatgādina to pilsētu, kāda tā bija septiņdesmitajos - tā ir pilsēta, kas atrodas kalnainā ielejā, turklāt daži tās rajoni ir mainījušies līdz nepazīšanai, daži pat nojaukti vispār. Toreiz, pirms 10 gadiem, teroristu uzbrukuma dēļ esot nācies nojaukt pat veselu kvartālu. Arī tā pati Stokholma, Malme vai Kopenhāgena, Reikjavīka ir mainījušās. Tāpēc Rīga bija labākā izvēle. Turklāt šeit ir vairākas lietas, kuras filmas vajadzībām varam vairāk atļauties, piemēram, darbaspēks ir lētāks nekā citur. Materiāli gan nekļūst lētāki filmas setu būvēšanai, jo daudz kas tomēr jāved un jāimportē. Tas objektīvi ceļ cenu, bet darbaspēks noteikti ir faktors, kāpēc izvēlējāmies Rīgu. Piemēram, mēs nupat trīs setus būvējām Londonā, un tas bija teju uz pusi dārgāk nekā Rīgā. (..) Mums pašiem šeit tā ir liela lieta - zināt, ka tepat pa Vecrīgu, iespējams, pastaigājas tādas zvaigznes kā Benedikts Kamberbačs un Eva Grīna, kura pat apmeklēja tavu izstādi Rīgā. Lai arī tu esi režisors, priekšnieks, kurš vada, bet tik un tā - kā ir tev pašam? Esi strādājis ar Danielu Kreigu Džeimsa Bonda filmā un citām zvaigznēm. Kā tas ir? Kerijs Fukunaga: Šobrīd, kad aiz muguras jau tik daudz darbu un filmu, es teiktu, ka tik ļoti neuztraucos vairāk. Bet atceros, kas taisīju savu vēsturisko filmu "Džeina Eira", kur galvenajās lomās bija tādas zvaigznes kā Maikls Fasbenders, Mia Vasikovska un Džūdija Denča, es domāju, ko gan es kā režisors varu vispār ietekmēt tik pieredzējušas aktrises kā Džūdija Denča aktierspēle? Tā kā es un viņas aģents esam labi draugi, turklāt es vispār toreiz tikai sāku tik lielus soļus spert lielajā kino, mani mierināja un teica, ka tieši Džūdija ir ļoti atvērta un ieinteresēta šajā sadarbībā. Un tā, pamazām strādājot ar šīm zvaigznēm, es pats ar katru reizi aizvien vairāk redzu viņus kā cilvēcīgas būtnes, nevis to grandiozo sasniegumu sarakstu, kas viņiem katram ir. Un otra lieta, ko minēji, ka režisors ir tas priekšnieks, te  man jāsaka, ka kino tomēr ir kolektīva māksla un režisors ir viena no sadaļām. Ir aktieri, studija īpašnieki, producenti un tā tālāk. Tā kā tam projekta pilotam ir jāspēj visi pasažieri nogādāt galapunktā. Kāda ir tā realitāte medaļas otrā pusē, kā tas ir - strādāt, piemēram, pie Džeimsa Bonda jeb aģenta 007 filmas? Kerijs Fukunaga: Katru reizi, kad strādāju pie liela projekta, vienmēr šķiet, ka es uzsūcu jaunas zināšanas, kuras noteikti varēšu izmantot nākamajā projektā. Bonda gadījumā tas lielākais izaicinājums bija laiks. Nevis tur kaut kāds atsevišķs lietu kalendārs, bet laiks kopumā. Es Bondu pārņēmu, kad tikko prom bija devies Denijs Boils. Un, kā jau šajās milzu budžeta augsta tempa filmās, daudz kas ir atkarīgs no tā datuma, kad tiek noteikta pirmizrāde un kā tiek sakārtots lokāciju kalendārs. Līdz ar to daudzas scenārija lietas tiek piekoriģētas pēdējā mirklī. Tu vari iedomāties, ka tik lielos projektos daudz ko izlemj gadiem iepriekš, un pēc tam pie tā ir jāturas. Mēs Bondu no A līdz Z pabeidzām 18 mēnešos. Ar visu to, ka jau bija sākusies COVID epidēmija, mēs to paspējām, un tas vēl ir relatīvi ātri. Mums vajadzēja ar visiem kaskadieriem, specefektu departamenta dublieriem jau darīt lietas laicīgi, pirms vispār pirmā scenārija aprises bija gatavas. Tā kā laiks Džeimsa Bonda filmā bija vislielākais izaicinājums. Kerijs Džoudži Fukunaga kā brīvprātīgais ir arī strādājis Ukrainā, kurp viņš devās 2022.gadā uzreiz pēc Krievijas uzsāktās pilna mēroga karadarbības. Viņš ne tikai gādāja humāno palīdzību civiliedzīvotājiem, bet arī fotografēja. Viņa fotouzņēmumus kā arī ukraiņu mākslinieces Tatjanas Malinovskas videodarbus  no šī gada marta līdz pat 2.maijam varēja apskatīt arī izstādē "Lyuta vesna – Lost Spring" (Zaudētais pavasaris) Rīgā, galerijā „Cut Art”. Rīgā nupat bija skatāma tava fotogrāfiju izstāde no Ukrainas. Izstāsti šo stāstu, kāpēc tu izlēmi kā brīvprātīgais doties uz kara plosīto Ukrainu un strādāt tur? Kerijs Fukunaga: Es ieguvu grādu politikas zinātnē un politikas vēsturē esmu mācījies ārpus Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm - Francijā, Grenobles Politikas institūtā. Mani vienmēr interesējusi vēsture, kā arī skats uz ārpusi, uz ārpasauli. Mani vienmēr vairāk interesējusi Amerikas ārpolitika nekā iekšpolitika. Turklāt savulaik ticēju, ka, taisot filmas, mēs varam mainīt un ietekmēt pasauli. Šobrīd gan tik strikti vairs nevaru teikt, redzot, kas notiek apkārt. Īpaši pēc Bonda filmas, es aizvien spēcīgāk izjūtu to, kas notiek pasaulē, to notikumu domino efektu. Jā, es taisu filmas un izklaides industrija ir ļoti būtiska. Bet es vairs sevī iekšēji nespēju ilgāk būt tikai pasīvs vērotājs. Es vēlējos darīt un palīdzēt. Un tā es sazvanīju Hosē Andrē, kurš ir radījis un vada vada "World Central Kitchen", un Ukrainā jau bija viņu palīdzības virtuves, un teicu, ka vēlos braukt uz Ukrainu pie viņiem. Viņš atbildēja, ka varu braukt, bet manu drošību garantēt gan nevarot. Es teicu, ka nebraucu filmēt, bet mans nodoms ir palīdzēt un strādāt tur tieši kara laikā. Sacīts - darīts, ierados.  Sākotnēji darbojos un palīdzēju ar koordinēšanu, tad jau darīju arī citus darbus. Divarpus mēnešu laikā pēc kara sākuma tās vietas, kur biju es, sāka stabilizēties. Sākām Kijivā, tad Irpiņa, Buča, tad devos uz Sumu apgabalu. Tad uz Harkivu, kamēr tur vēl notika aktīva karadarbība, un tur es uzturējos ilgāku laiku. Pēc tam tālāk devos uz Kramatorsku, kur bija ļoti nežēlīgas krievu ofensīvas. Briesmas draudēja visu laiku. Bet tur tajos ciematos un pilsētās bija palikuši ļoti daudz civiliedzīvotāju, un viņi nekādu ofensīvas laikā nevarēja tikt pie iztikai nepieciešamajām lietām. Tad es un citi brīvprātīgie devāmies pie šiem ļaudīm, lai redzētu, kas viņiem trūkst, ukraiņiem vienmēr būs bietes un kartupeļi. Bet bija vajadzīga maize un elementāra medicīniskā palīdzība. Mums tas bija jādara no mājas uz māju, lai pēc tam varētu ziņot uz štābu, ko, kur un kam vajag piegādāt. Tā bija unikāla pieredze, jau savā ziņā tā līdzinās problēmu risināšanai filmas laukumā, tikai šeit tev ir iespēja reāli ietekmēt cilvēku dzīves. Tu iepriekš minēji, ka tevi vairāk interesē Amerikas ārpolitika, nevis iekšpolitika. Es neko nesaprotu un nezinu par tavas valsts iekšpolitiku, bet man ir daži draugi ASV, un viņi saka, ka nav labi. Kas to vērtē šobrīd, atrazdamies šeit, Latvijā? Kerijs Fukunaga: Tas ir apkaunojoši. Šobrīd ir pats sliktākais laiks būt amerikānim. Mēs esam neglīti pasaules acīs. Es nezinu precīzus datus, bet pusei amerikāņu nav pases. Lielākā daļa runā tikai angļu valodā, nezinot vismaz vēl vienu svešvalodu. Ja tev pie ziemeļu robežas ir tikai Kanāda un dienvidos Meksika un apkārt okeāns, tad var nelikties ne zinis. Nav tā kā šeit, Eiropā, kur dažādas kultūras ir visapkārt un tev jāiekļaujas tajā mikslī. Tāpēc krievu propaganda svin uzvaru Amerikā šobrīd. Tas nu reiz ir skaidrs. Un tas notiek jau gadiem, to var redzēt komentāru sadaļā. Tāda sajūta, ka cilvēki darbojas pēc konkrēta scenārija, jo tieši tāda, kādu piedāvā propaganda. Ir bijuši pētījumi par šo un tie liecina par to, ka šeit nav iespējama nekāda saprātīga diskusija iepretīm sazvērestības teorijām un propagandai. It kā cilvēki pēkšņi būtu pamodušies jaunā patiesībā, no kuras nav atpakaļceļa.  Ko saka tev zināmie filmu ļaudis? Kerijs Fukunaga: Lielākā daļa no viņiem vienkārši nespēj noticēt tam, kas notiek acu priekšā. Lielākoties tā ir tāda apstulbuma sajūta šāda absurda priekšā. Protams, daudzi sev jautā - ko es varu darīt lietas labā? Kā redzam, ielu protesti šeit nedarbojas. Ko darīt? Es nezinu. Man nav atbildes. Vēsture rāda, ka šādi lieli pagriezieni parasti notiek ar lielu asins izliešanu. Arī mums šeit, tūkstošiem kilometru attālumā no ASV, bezmaz vai piespiedu kārtā ir jācenšas saprast Amerikas politiku. Ko un kāpēc Amerika dara? Kāpēc? Kerijs Fukunaga: Es šobrīd nevaru uzburt labāku nākotnes vīziju. Šobrīd nudien neizskatās labi. Tomēr vēsture rāda, ka Amerika var uzņemties vadību un nostāties vēstures pareizajā pusē. To pierāda kaut vai Rūzvelta politika īsi pirms Otrā pasaules kara, kad ASV izvēlējās izolacionisma politiku un nevienai no tobrīd apdraudētajām pusēm nepalīdzēja. Piemēram, viņš publiski neatsaucās uz Japānas iebrukumu Mandžūrijā, bet fonā jau sāka gatavoties karam. Es gan neliktu Rūzveltu un Trampu vienos svaru kausos. Nebūt. Vairāk par Krieviju šobrīd ASV militāri industriālais komplekss ir uztraucies par Ķīnu, un dažiem vēl šķiet, ka tā varētu būt Trampa ilgtermiņa spēle, lai nošķirtu Krieviju no Ķīnas un tie nekļūtu par vienotu spēku. Bet es neticu, ka Tramps ir tik gudrs, tā tāda muļķu parāde drīzāk. Kāda ir mākslinieku un kultūras cilvēku atbildība šajos laikos? Arī pie mums notiek diskusijas par to, ka strausa politiku, iebāžot galvu smiltīs un izliekoties, ka kara nav, neies krastā. Vai tev ir tāpat? Kerijs Fukunaga: Jā. Mēs jau Bondu filmējot, kas nu jau ir pirms sešiem gadiem, apspriedām Surkovu, Putina ideoloģijas autoru un polittehnologu. Tam cilvēkam ir pieredze gan televīzijā, gan rakstniecībā, un viņš prot pretnostatīt divas puses un radīt sajukumu, kurā tad var no aizkulisēm visu vērot un kontrolēt. Dezinformācija ir ļoti spēcīgs ierocis, mēs to centāmies arī iedzīvināt mūsu filmas ļaunajā tēlā. Bet tas, ko viņi Krievijā dara ar sabiedrību, ir nesalīdzināmi milzīgāks spektrs, tie ir kā nebeidzami, milzīgi viļņi, kam cilvēks vairs nav spējīgs stāties pretī un noslīkst tajos. Un es teiktu tā: ja mākslai ir iespēja pacelties virs tā visa un atmaskot to apburto loku, tam noteikti ir vērtība. Un noslēgumā - kas būs tas, ko tu sev paņēmis līdzi no Rīgā pavadītā laika? Kerijs Fukunaga: Tas saistās zināmā mērā ar to, ko redzu Ukrainā. Iemesls, kāpēc es pazīstu arī jūsu kino ļaudis, piemēram, Lauri un Raiti Ābeles, ir profesionālais latviešu skeitbordists Madars Apse. Mēs esam draugi. Reiz, redzot Madara un viņa draudzeni Viļņā, aizrunājāmies par to, kā ir satikušies mūsu vecvecāki. Viņš saka - gulagā, un ironiskā kārtā arī mani vecvecāki satikās gulagā, un tajā brīdī man ir iespēja nonākt nevis tādā akadēmiskā kārtā, bet satikt reālus cilvēkus, kuriem tā padomju okupācijas trauma atbalsojas paaudzēs un turpina ārdīties acu priekšā Ukrainā.

Etiķa, gurķu, kefīra, griķu, 17 dienu, Vidusjūras un vēl citu neskaitāmu speciālo diētu instrukcijas ir pieejamas interneta tīmekļvietnēs, solot krietnu kilogramu zudumu nedēļas vai nedaudz garākā laika termiņā. Bet izrādās, nepareizas diētas izvēle ir izplatītākais nāves cēlonis pasaulē. Cik veselīgas ir diētas, vaicājam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Analizē uztura speciāliste, uzturzinātniece, sertificēta GAPS uztura konsultante Silvija Ābele, Latvijas Diētas ārstu asociācijas valdes priekšsēdētājs Andis Brēmanis un diētas ārste, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes studiju programmu Uzturs un Uzturzinātne izveidotāja un vadītāja Lolita Neimane. Vaicājam arī cilvēkiem ielās, ko nozīmē ēst veselīgi un vai viņi ikdienā ievēro veselīgas ēšanas pamatprincipus? Silvija Ābele iepazīstina un skaidro, kas ir GAPS diēta. "Tā ir salīdzinoši jauna uztura terapija, kas radusies šajā gadsimtā. Bet nepiekritīšu apgalvojumam, ka tas, kas ir jauns, tas nav derīgs," norāda Silvija Ābele.  Šai diētai ir ārstniecisks jeb simptomus atvieglojošs mērķis. "GAPS uztura terapija piedāvā cilvēkiem ne tikai mazināt simptomus, izslēdzot kādas produktu grupas - un konkrēti tās ir cukurs jeb saharoze, piena cukurs - laktoze un graudos esošais cukurs - ciete. Lielu uzsvaru liek uz to, ko mēs liekam klāt. Tas ir gaļas kauliņu buljons, labie tauki un tie ir skābētie, raudzētie produkti. Šīs trīs superproduktu grupas ir tie dziedinošie produkti, kas daudziem cilvēkiem palīdz vispirms sakārtot gremošanas traktu, uzlabot gremošanu, līdz ar to arī asimilāciju, un tas pēc tam var aizsniegt unikāli katrā cilvēka ķermenī dažādus simptomus." GAPS sākotnēji radās kā uztura terapija, kas palīdz uzlabot smadzeņu darbību. Lai arī diētas principi ir vispārīgi, uztura principi būs jāpielāgo individuāli katram konkrētam cilvēkam. GAPS diēta ir domāta kādam laikam ar mērķi sakārtot gremošanas traktu.

Latvijas valstsvienība 11. maijā otrajā spēlē pasaules čempionātā Stokholmā ar 1:7 zaudēja vieniem no turnīra favorītiem Kanādas hokejistiem. Lai arī Latvijas izlase pirmā vakardienas spēlē iemeta ripu kanādiešu vārdos, tomēr vēlreiz pārspēt pretiniekus neizdevās, lai gan iespēju bija gana daudz. Bet tas pamodināja kanādiešus, kas pārējā mača gaitā nesaudzēja Latvijas izlasi, sodot par daudzajām pieļautajām kļūdām. Kritisks par spēli bija "Zemgale LBTU" galvenais treneris Artis Ābols.  Savukārt izlases treneris Harijs Vītoliņš pēcspēles komentārā minēja, ka viens no faktoriem, kas ietekmēja spēles gaitu bija tas, ka Latvijas izlasei šī bija otrā spēle divas dienās un Latvijas izlasei bija mazāk laika atpūsties. Spēli vērtē arī vārtsargs Gustavs Dāvis Grigalis un izlases kapteinis Kaspars Daugaviņš. Ir arī labas ziņas Latvijas hokeja izlasei varētu pievienosies Rodrigo Ābols, kura komanda izkrita no Amerikas hokeja līgas izslēgšanas spēļu 2. kārtas izšķirošajā spēlē. Viņš dosies uz Zviedriju, visticamāk piedalīsies spēlēs, kas paredzētas nedēļas nogalē pret Somiju un Slovākiju. Šodien, 12. maijā, Latvijas izlasei treniņš, bet jau rīt nakāmā spēle ar Slovēniju.

Aprīļa pēdējā nedēļā pasaulē atzīmēja Starptautisko pacientu pieredzes nedēļu. Latvijā termins pacientu pieredze ieviests samērā nesen. Kā pacientu pieredze tiek izmantota, lai sasniegtu labākus rezultātus un kā ir mainījusies veselības aprūpe, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Sarunājas Latvijas Pacientu pieredzes asociācijas valdes priekšsēdētāja Vita Šteina, veselības komunikācijas speciāliste un ģimenes ārste Linda Šauriņa, Slimību profilakses un kontroles centra (SPKC) Pacientu drošības un veselības aprūpes kvalitātes pilnveides nodaļas vadītāja Irisa Zīle-Velika. "Lai pacients laikā, kad saņem veselības aprūpes pakalpojumus, justos mierpilni, saprastu, ko viņam saka, lai viņam nesāpētu, lai nebūtu satraukums un bailes, lai būtu paēdis, kas nozīmē, ka ēdienam ir jāgaršo. Lai viņš saprastu informāciju, kad izrakstās no ārstniecības iestādēs. Šīs ir jomas, ko mēra, lai raksturotu pacientu pieredzi," norāda Vita Šteina. Latvijā šī joma attīstās arvien plašāk, pateicoties SPKC iesaistei. Pagaidām var runām par pirmo soli, iegūstot atgriezenisko saiti no pacientiem. Atsevišķas slimnīcas ir uzsākušas arī pieredzes uzlabošanu, bet būtiska kustība šajā jomā nav. Labā ziņa - arvien vairāk veselības iestādes izvēlas iesaistīt darbā pacientu pieredzes speciālistu. Apmēram puse Latvijas slimnīcu mēra pacientu pieredzi pēc vienotiem standartiem. "Latvijā vislabāk novērtētā kategorija ir cieņpilna attieksme, ar to mums viss ir kārtībā. Savukārt divas sliktāk novērtētākās kategorijas ir ēdināšana un medikamentu un blakņu izskaidrošana. Tās ir sliktāk novērtētākās kategorijas praktiski visās slimnīcās, un tas nozīmē, ka tā ir valstiska problēma. Ja būtu kādas slimnīcas, kur šīs kategorijas ir augstāk novērtētas, varētu runāt, ka tas ir atkarīgs no personāla vai vadības, bet šajā gadījumā tās ir valstiskas problēmas," norāda Vita Šteina. "Ja runājam par medikamentu izskaidrošanu un blakņu izskaidrošanu, mums valstī ļoti trūkst un nav sakārtota klīnisko farmaceitu pietiekama pieejamība slimnīcās. Un, ja runājam par ēdināšanu, tad ir ļoti labi redzams, tajā gadā, apmēram pusotru gadu atpakaļ, kad tika kaut nedaudz palielināts tarifs ēdināšanai valsts publiskajā sektorā slimnīcām, par 10% uzlabojās novērtējums. Tam ir tieša ietekme: jo vairāk mēs investējam, valsts palīdz atrisināt šīs problēmas, tam tiešām ir pozitīvas sekas." "Pagaidām pacientu pieredze Latvijā tiek īstenota kā atsevišķa komponente, bet nav nacionāli iekļauta kopējā stratēģijā," skaidro Vita Šteina. Notiek diskusijas ar Veselības ministriju par nepieciešamību izveidot šādu stratēģiju, lai visām veselības iestādēm būtu vienotas prasības, kā mērīt veselības aprūpe kvalitātes radītājus kopumā.  "Problēmas sākas tad, kad ir jau atklātas kādas nozīmīgas veselības problēmas, kas ir no jauna, varbūt pat liels pārsteigums, vai arī tās hroniskās slimības ir tik ļoti ielaistas, ka tās prasa milzu resursus gan no paša pacienta, gan no radiniekiem, kur ir ļoti garš saraksts ar medikamentiem," vērtē Linda Šauriņa. "Arī no komunikācijas viedokļa pacients jaunas informācijas uztveršanā piekūst pie trešā medikamenta. Lai cik labi ārsti nesagatavotu savu sarunu par medikamentiem vai blaknēm, pacientam nav vienkārši kapacitātes. Tas nav pārmetums pacientiem, vienkārši cilvēcisks faktors. Tāpēc vienmēr saku, ja ir nozīmīgas vizītes pie speciālistiem, ir jāņem līdzi atbalsta persona, ir jābūt izrakstam. No stacionāra mums izraksti ir brīnišķīgi, bet tur, kur mums valstiski pieklibo šī lieta, tā ir sekundārā veselības aprūpe, kur ir speciālisti, kur pacients gaida varbūt mēnešiem kaut kādu izmeklējumu, kaut kādu konsultāciju, un tad, kad viņš atnāk atpakaļ pie manis, jo es tam speciālisti mums uzdos kaut kādus konkrētus jautājumus, nav šī te papīra, nav pacientam kur ieskatīties. Papīrs jau nav tikai man, tas papīrs ir arī pacientam, un tad pacients saka - bet es nezinu, es neatceros... (..) Tajā brīdī pacients it kā iesprūst: es biju uz vizīti, es gaidīju 3-4 mēnešus, un tas rezultāts ir tāds, kāds viņš ir." Uzklausām arī kādas pacientes pieredzes stāstu. Inesei Lūsiņai veselības apdrošināšanas nav, jo darba vieta to nevar atļauties, tāpēc būtiski ir pietiekties uz valsts apmaksātiem pakalpojumiem. Vispirms ar valsts speciālista izdotu nosūtījumu viņa uz magnētisko rezonansi rokas locītavai un ultrasonogrāfiju rokas mīkstajiem audiem mēģināja pieteikties elektroniskajās vietnēs internetā - eveselibapunkts.lv un rindapiearsta.lv.

Aizvien biežāk dzirdam piesaucam dažādus medikamentus, ar kuru palīdzību ātri un bez īpašas piepūles var zaudēt lieko svaru. Pēdējos gados lielu populariāti guvuši diabēta pacientiem paredzēti medikamenti, kas ļaujot ātri atbrīvoties no liekajiem kilogramiem. Lai notievētu, tos lietojot pat slavenas aktrises; un tievētgribētāji tik aktīvi steiguši iegādāties šos medikamentus, ka bešā paliek tie, kuriem šīs zāles patiešām vajadzīgas. Holivudas slavenību iedvesmoti cilvēki visā pasaulē izmēģina šos līdzekļus, kas sākotnēji paredzēti pavisam citiem mērķiem - diabēta ārstēšanai. Kas īsti ir šie semaglutīdi un cik pamatota ir to lietošana? Ar kādu mērķi tie radīti un vai brīnuminjekcija vai tablete kādu dienu patiešām ļaus atbrīvoties no liekajiem kilogramiem? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro dietoloģe, Uztura un dietoloģijas centra vadītāja Rīgas Austrumu klīniskajā universitātes slimnīcā Laila Meija. Patiesībā mēs esam ļoti priecīgi, ka ir arī mums palīdzīgs rīks tieši lai ārstētu aptaukošanos, jo aptaukošanās - tas ir atzīts, ka tas nav tikai izlaidīgs dzīvesveids, ka daudz ēd un maz kustās, tam tiešām ir ļoti daudz medicīnisku cēloņu, gan ģenētisku cēloņu. Cilvēkiem bieži ir izmainīta vielmaiņa, ir izmainīta sāta sajūta, apetītes regulēšana, arī ēšanas kāri lielā mērā nosaka ģenētika. Protams, tas darbojas kopā ar dzīvesveidu. No otras puses, ir arī ļoti daudz cilvēku, kas ievērošot visas rekomendācijas, un tomēr visu dzīvi svaru kontrolēt ir ārkārtīgi grūti. Tā kā aptaukošanās problēma pieaug, protams, arī tiek meklēti risinājumi dažādi, arī medikamenti, kas palīdzētu aptaukošanos mazināt," norāda Laila Meija. Medikamenti, kuru aktīvā viela ir semaglutīds, sākotnēji tika radīti, lai ārstētu otrā tipa cukura diabētu, bet tad pamanīja, ka ir papildus ieguvums - svara zaudēšana. Tāpēc šī viela ir reģistrēta arī svara mazināšanai, tikai ir atšķirīgas devas un atšķirīgi soļi, kā šīs devas palielina.  "Šī aktīvā viela, ja tas tiešām ir medikaments, tā ir arī pierādīta kā efektīva svara mazināšanai," atzīst Laila Meija. Kas notiek, ja cilvēkam liekas, ka viņam ir mazliet par daudz kilogramu, un vienkāršāk, kā vienmēr, ir iedzert tableti, nekā domāt par savu dzīvesveidu un visu pārējo? Ja veselam cilvēkam, kuram viss it kā strādā, vēl no malas ar kaut kādiem medikamentiem ir dota iespēja kaut ko savā organismā izmainīt, kāds ir efekts un kādas ir sekas?  Laila Meija: Īslaicīgais efekts, protams, būs, svars mazināsies, jo cilvēks vienkārši ēd mazāk. Un ēšana mazāk un retāk var būt ieguvums, bet tas varbūt arī gluži otrādi, process, kas pēc tam, ja šo medikamentu nelieto visu mūžu, arī būtībā šīs maltītes regulācijas izjauc. Cilvēki ir priecīgi - negribas ēst, es visu dienu neēdu, pēc tam es paēdu jebko, bet vienkārši ļoti maz. Un, apēdot kaut ko ļoti maz, arī nevēlamus produktus, tik un tā tas svars zudīs. Un līdz ar to daudziem ir eiforiska sajūta, cik labi un es varu dzīvot.  Jautājums, kas notiek tālāk? Protams, šiem cilvēkiem nav šis medikaments jālieto visu mūžu, viņi arī paši to negribēs, jo tās ir arī izmaksas. Būs daļa cilvēku, kam tiešām šis medikaments jālieto visu mūžu, tāpat kā, piemēram, ārstējot paaugstinātu asinsspiedienu, bet tā būs neliela daļa, kas ir nopietni slimi ar aptaukošanos.  Par ēšanas traucējumiem, no vienas puses, tas varētu palīdzēt nepārēsties, kam ir bulīmija, no otras puses, tiem, kam iepriekš jau bijuši ēšanas traucējumi, viņiem jau tāpat ir problēmas, kā saka, sliktas attiecības ar ēdienu, ar maltītēm, šie medikamenti varētu būt patiesībā nelabvēlīgi. Galvenais - ja cilvēks tikai lieto medikamentu, bet nemaina dzīvesstilu, kas jau kā lozungs skan, tātad gan uzturu, gan fiziskās aktivitātes, tad tas ilgtermiņa efekts nebūs vai būs gluži pretēji - negatīvs.  Es, nozīmējot medikamentus, vienmēr saku, tagad jums ir kolosāla iespēja, jūs neesat tik ļoti atkarīgs no savām vēlmēm, kārēm, jūs varat pārdomāti, bez tādas pārēšanās izvēlēties tos produktus, kas ir veselīgi, mierīgi iemācīties gatavot veselīgi, jo nav tā drebuļa. Tāpat arī kustības. (..) Ja mēs runājam par cilvēkiem, kam nepatīk daži lieki kilogrami, protams, tās nav indikācijas un nevajadzētu izrakstīt. Nu, bet mēs līdzās redzam, kas saņem šo medikamentu. Veselības inspekcijā raidījuma veidotāji noskaidroja, ka Latvijā nav novērots, ka šādus medikamentus izrakstītu nepamatoti, bet informācija liecina, ka citviet pasaulē pietrūkst jau daudzviet šo medikamentu, kas ir vajadzīgi diabēta pacientiem. Tas liecina, ka iespējams, citur ir viegli tikt pie šiem medikamentiem arī tie, kas varbūt pat nelegālā veidā tos iegādājas internetā. Laila Meija atgādina, ka nelegāli iegādāti medikamenti var būt arī bīstami. Skaistumkopšanas injekciju plusi un mīnusi Kamēr mediķi vēl nav izdomājuši, kā cilvēkiem novecojot var atjaunot smadzeņu, sirds, kaulu vai citu iekšējo orgānu darbību, tikām vismaz sejas ādu var saglabāt svaigāku krietni ilgāku laiku, pateicoties botulīna toksīna, hilauroskābes, kolagēna, hidroksilapatīta un vēl citu ādas pildvielu injekcijām. Senākā no šīm vielām – botulīna toksīns – pazīstama jau no 70. gadiem. Kas ir šo injekciju sastāvā? Cik tās drošas un veselīgas? Kas ir kolagēns, koenzīms, botokss un kā šīs vielas darbojas mūsu organismā, skaidro Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Farmācijas fakultātes asistenta pienākumu izpildītāja un Latvijas Universitātes medicīnas un dzīvības zinātņu fakultātes pētniece Aina Semjonova. Aina Semjonova arī skaidro par riskiem, ko var izraisīt minētās injekcijas, vispirms viņa kā ķīmiķe un farmaceite stāsta, kā iedalās jau minētie filleri, jeb ādas pildvielas, ko izmanto skaistumkopšanā.   Bet par kādu sev īpašu grāmatu stāsta Latvijas Hidroekoloģijas institūta, Jūras Monitoringa nodaļas vadošā pētniece Solvita Strāķe. Viņa izraudzījusies Robina S. Šārma grāmatu "Mūks, kurš pārdeva savu Ferrari". Pētniece atzīst, ka grāmata ilgi laiku gulējusi plauktā un šobrīd pienācis laiks to ievērot. Tā ir par cilvēku pašpilnveidošanos, par pašdisciplīnu, par domu pārvaldīšanu. kas ir aktuāli mūsdienu pasaulē. "Šobrīd, kad ir ļoti saskaldīta un trauksmaina ikdiena, lai arī katrs cenšas, arī es, sevi disciplinēt, es teiktu, ka domu pārvaldīšana ir samērā grūta. Lasot šo grāmatu, es labāk izpratu teikumu par to, ka prāts ir gan mūsu sabiedrotais, gan ienaidnieks," atklāj Solvita Strāķe.      

Lai tiktu līdz daudzdzīvokļu mājas renovācijai, ir jāveic gana daudz birokrātisku darbību. Vai papīru kārtošana bremzē finansējuma saņemšanu un darbu uzsākšanu, interesējamies raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Skaidro ALTUM Energoefektivitātes programmu departamenta vadītāja Ieva Vērzemniece, SEB bankas Mazo un vidējo uzņēmumu segmenta vadītājs Māris Saulājs un "Jurisconsultus vadītājs" un jurists Jānis Uzulēns. Jānis Uzulēns vērtē, ka problēmas rada nevis tas, ka ir daudz dokumentu jākārto, lai renovētu māju, bet nezināšana un informācijas trūkums. "Problēmas, man liekas, ir divās lietās, pirmām kārtām ir nezināšana, un tas attiecas nereti kā uz iedzīvotājiem, tā uz pārvaldniekiem. Un nezināšanas rezultātā rodas otra problēma, proti, ka trūkst informācijas," vērtē Jānis Uzulēns. Viņš min, ka daudzi cilvēki neorientējas pieejamajos dokumentos, daudz arī nelasa un tāpēc nav informēti un tam nav sakara ar birokrātiju.  "Birokrātija sākas tajā brīdī, kad nezināšanas dēļ ir radīta kaudze problēmu. Piemēram, būvdarbu gaitā konstatē, ka kaut kas ir palaists garām projektēšanas laikā vai būvprojekts ir izstrādāts uz nepietiekamas tehniskās dokumentācijas pamata. Savukārt tehniskā dokumentācija ir izstrādāta tāpēc, ka ir iedots nepareizs darba uzdevums un inženieris nav tālāk par darba uzdevumu, proti, par savu degungalu skatījies. Ir jāatceras, ka mēs runājam par būvniecības procesu, kur gan banka, gan "Altum" tikai iedod resursus," skaidro Jānis Uzulēns. "Tā, man liekas, ir lielāko tiesu nevis birokrātija, bet nezināšanas sekas, mēs kaut ko izdarām nepareizi sākumā, to problēmu mēs pamanām tad, kad ir par vēlu, tad mēs sākam viens uz otru rāties," atzīst Jānis Uzulēns.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 51-points this morning from Friday's close, at 20,839 on turnover of 6.8-billion N-T. The market closed up more than 500 points on Friday, led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, after strong earnings from two major U-S tech giants overnight eased concerns about A-I demand despite U-S tariff disruptions. Inspection rules unchanged despite 1st ractopamine pork import: The Food and Drug Administration says it will keep current pork import inspection procedures in place. The statement comes despite the agency detecting ractopamine in imported pork for the first time since the ban on the leanness-enhancer was lifted in 2021. According to the F-D-A, pork imports will continue to undergo between 2 and 10-per cent batch inspections. The F-D-A says a 22.99-metric-ton shipment from Australia on April 29 tested positive for 0.001 parts per million of ractopamine -- well below the legal threshold (界限，水準). MOFA names chief secretary as new envoy to Ireland The secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been named as the Lai administration's new top envoy to Ireland. According to a Cabinet personnel announcement, Daniel Tang will fill the vacancy (空缺) left by his immediate predecessor, Yang Zi-bao - whose resignation has been approved by the Presidential Office. Yang had served as Taiwan's representative to the European country since 2018. Tang has served as the foreign ministry's secretary general since February 2023 and was previously Taiwan's top envoy to South Korea and ambassador to the Marshall Islands. US Trump Iffy on Due Process US President Donald Trump says he doesn't see everyone in the the country getting due process (正當法律程序), as the Constitution states. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports. Nicaragua Withdraws from UNESCO Nicaragua has withdrawn from the U.N. cultural and educational body UNESCO because it awarded a prize celebrating press freedom to a Nicaraguan newspaper, La Prensa. UNESCO's director general announced she had received a letter Sunday morning from the Nicaraguan government announcing its withdrawal because of the attribution (歸屬) of the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. The 2025 award was attributed Saturday to La Prensa on the recommendation (推薦) of an international jury of media professionals. The prize jury hailed the newspaper's work in the face of “severe repression” and reporting from exile to "keep press freedom alive" in the Central American country. Nicaragua's government, led by President Daniel Ortega and his wife and co-president, Rosario Murillo, has been cracking down on dissent since it violently repressed protests in 2018, claiming they were backed by foreign powers that sought his overthrow.

Lai komersantu vāktie personas dati brīvi neklejotu digitālajā vidē, aiz trīs atslēgām datus liek turēt Vispārējā datu aizsardzības regula. Tomēr, pilnībā paļauties uz šādu vairogu būtu pārāk optimistiski. Cik uzmanīgiem jābūt ar personas datu publicēšanu internetā, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Par datu drošību atgādina kiberincidentu novēršanas institūcijas "CERT.LV" kiberdrošības eksperts Gints Mālkalnietis, programmatūras inženieris Elviss Strazdiņš un sertificēts datu aizsardzības speciālists Deniss Čalovskis. Kā krāpnieki iegūst cilvēku kontaktus. Gints Mālkalnietis skaidro, ka ne vienmēr pats cilvēks iedod krāpniekiem savus kontaktus. "Cilvēks mēģina uzlikt kādu jaunu lietotni, tā prasa piekļuvi visai telefona grāmatiņai [kontaktiem], un cilvēki ļoti nekritiski šīs piekļuves arī atdod, principā atdod arī svešu cilvēku datus. Ja piekļūst telefona grāmatiņai, redz sarakstu ar cilvēkiem. Dažās no mobilo sakaru operētājsistēmu versijām datu aizsardzība ir rūpīgāka un lietotne pie šiem datiem nepiekļūst, bet it sevišķi vecākos android telefonos var būt, ka piekļuves ir gana plašas un cilvēki lieto vecus telefonus," atklāj Gints Mālkalnietis. Nevajag datus nemaz nozagt no konkrētā cilvēka telefona, vārds un uzvārds var būt cita cilvēka telefona kontaktos un roka var vienmēr paslīdēt. Var arī nejauši palaist datorā vīrusu un krāpnieki iegūst visus cilvēka e-pasta kontaktus, kas saglabāti. Tas ir vienkārši, notiek ātri un nepamanāmi. "Nevajag cilvēkiem satraukties, ka zvanīs krāpnieki un uzrunās vārdā. Pieņemiet kā faktu, ka krāpniekiem jūsu vārds ir zināms, un būs vieglāk dzīvot. Pat, ja neesat nekur to ievadījuši, visticamāk, ir zināms. Ja kāds zvanīs, jūs neapjuksiet un reaģēsiet tā, ka viņš būtu svešs cilvēks," atzīst Elviss Strazdiņš. Arī krāpnieki izmanto mākslīgo intelektu, lai realizētu savas shēmas, bet jācenšas pēc iespējas kritiskāk izvērtēt zvanus un saņemtās ziņas. "Par mākslīgo intelektu, visi no viņa baidās, bet man šķiet, viņš ir vērtējams kā palīgs. Jā, arī krāpnieki ir uztaisījuši savus rīkus ļauj rakstīt daudz labākus un ticamākus e-pastus. Agrāk ar e-pastiem latviski gāja grūti, beidzamajā laikā tie paliek labāki, no šī ir jāuzmanās, bet katram ir savs dabīgais intelekts jāliek pretī. Shēmas ir labāk aprakstītas, bet ir tikpat neticamas kā iepriekš. Viņas ir labi izpildītas tehniski, grūti atšķiramas, bet, ja jūs saprotat, ka jums zvana par meitu slimnīcā, bet jums ir tikai divi dēli, nebūs..." komentē Gints Mālkalnietis. "Cilvēki brīžiem stresa situācijas dzird, ko vēlās, jā viņiem saka, ka viņu zināmais cilvēks ir nelaimē, viņš saklausīs šo balsi." Elviss Strazdiņa skaidro, ka "Telegram" ir rīks, kas ģenerē lapas, kas izsūta informāciju par aizturētām paciņām. Bet tas var būt arī citos sociālajos medijos.  "Nevajag dot kredītkaršu numurus, lai saņemtu naudu," norāda Gints Mālkalnietis. "Ārpus Latvijas daudzās valstīs ir populāri, ka skaita uz karti naudu. Esmu dzirdējis, ka arī Latvijā to var izdarīt, bet neesmu vēl pārbaudījis. Katrā ziņā, ja jums Latvijā kāds prasa karšu datus, lai pārskaitītu uz karti naudu, tas ir milzīgs sarkanais karogs un bēdziet prom. Latvijā tā neviens nedara," papildina Elviss Strazdiņš.

Lielākā daļa Eiropas ir lauki un tieši lauku attīstībai un revitalizācijai iecerēts liels kongress Rīgā, kurā ar saviem pētījumiem pulcēsies pētnieki no 48 valstīm. Kā klājas lauku teritorijām pasaulē? Vai aizvien novērojama masveida migrācija uz pilsētām? Un, vai dzīve laukos mūsdienās ir trūkuma vai luksusa simbols? Raidījumā vērtē sociologs Miķelis Grīviņš, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes tenūrprofesors. Vai mums ir tendence meklēt iespējas dzīvot laukos un tā jau ir tāda Luksus paradība - dzīvot laukos? Miķelis Grīviņš: Man liekas, ka tas ir komplekss fenomens, uz kuru nevar vienkārši atbildēt. Ja mēs mēģinām vienkāršu atbildi pateikt - nezinu, laukos tagad pēkšņi viss ir labi vai viss ir slikti, tad patiesībā mēs pazaudējam iespēju palīdzēt tām teritorijām, kurām varbūt ir grūti Neapšaubāmi, ir kaut kādas vietas, kas ir izbaudījušas to, ka parādās grupa, kura var atļauties un kuriem ir resursi, lai dzīvotu ārpus Rīgas. Te ir jāņem vērā, ka dzīve ārpus Rīgas paredz pilnīgi citus modeļus, pilnīgi citas investīcijas ikdienā, pie mazāka iedzīvotāju blīvuma pilnīgi visi sociālie pakalpojumi kļūst dārgāki gan naudā, gan laikā. Ja tu esi ekonomiski nodrošināts un tu esi viens no tiem "vēlamajiem stāstiem", kurš strādā kaut kur, kur var nopelnīt daudz, bet tad dzīvo savā zaļajā, attālajā vietā, tad, protams, mēs varam tikai priecāties par to. Bet no tā, ko es esmu lasījis, tās vietas, kas izbauda šo migrāciju no cilvēkiem, kuri ir turīgi, tās ir salīdzinoši nedaudz, un tie ir konkrēti reģioni. Ir kaut kas, kas vieno tos reģionus, kas ir svarīgi, lai cilvēki tur tagad atgrieztos vai gribētu vispār tur izvēlēties dzīvot? Tas ir infrastruktūras vai dabas objekta tuvums vai reģiona centram ir jābūt ar kaut ko ļoti vilinošam, vai tie ir pilnīgi lauki tālu meža vidū jābrauc daudzus kilometrus pa meža ceļu, lai vispār sasniegto to vietu? Miķelis Grīviņš: Atbilde, ko es varu sniegt, ir "educated guess", ka ir faktori, kas nospēlēs visos gadījumos. Sāksim ar to, ka cilvēki ir dažādi, mēs nevaram visu ielikt vienā maisā, bet ir kaut kādas lietas, kuras mēs redzam, ka kopsakarības ir. Jau pirms pāris gadiem bija pētījumi, kas rādīja, ka mēs varam likt kaudzi ar dažādiem faktoriem uz papīra, bet beigu beigās tā infrastruktūra, pieejamība, vai tu tur vari nokļūt, tas ir tas, kas izsaka, vai cilvēki būs gatavi uz turieni doties vai nē. Attiecīgi ir skaidrs, ka tā pirmā lieta, kas ir jāsakārto. Bet mums ir jābūt gana godīgiem par to, ka mēs esam ļoti maz tājā teritorijā, kas mums ir, un mēs nevarēsim sakārtot infrastruktūru visur. Jo mēs ātrāk sapratīsim, kuras ir tās vietas, kuras mēs gribam sakārtot, jo mēs labāk varēsim to naudu, kas mums ir infrastruktūrai, iztērēt pēc iespējas efektīvāk. Lai cik tas skaudri neizklausītos, man liekas, pēc pāris gadiem vēlme dzīvot kaut kur tālāk no infrastruktūras, tā būs diezgan elitāra lieta, par kuru pašam būs jāmaksā diezgan daudz. Skatoties uz mūsu demogrāfiskajiem procesiem, mēs nevaram cerēt, ka tā infrastruktūra pēkšņi atpelnīsies. Es saprotu, ka tas ir kaut kas skaudrs, ko teikt kādam, kas sēž no Rīgā studijā pie galda, un ir viegli komentēt. Bet es īsti neredzu, kāds varētu būt cits scenārijs. Ja mēs atkāpjamies no infrastruktūras, tad, man liekas, sākās preferenču jautājumi par to, kas cilvēkam patīk un ko cilvēks meklē. Mēs redzam, ka tie centri, kuri iegūst, principā ir vieni un tie paši. Un tie tie, kas jau ir veiksmīgi pārdevuši [sevi] kā vietas, kurās ir patīkami dzīvot, nereti kurās jau ir kaut kāda kopiena ar tiem cilvēkiem, kuri pārvākušies. Un tas ir papildu jautājums, vai mēs gribam, lai viņi aizbrauc uz turieni un patiesībā veido to savu ģentrificēto kopienu, kura netusējas ar vietējiem, ir savs pārticības līmenis un lēnām izstumj ārā visus pārējos. Vai arī, kā teici, ir cilvēki, kas zina, ko viņi grib no dabas, bet tos mēs varbūt tik labi nenotveram statistikā. Kas interesē citus pētniekus ne tikai par Latviju, bet par citām valstīm, apmanīties ar informāciju un ziņām, jo, no vienas puses, liekas, varbūt katrai valstij ir ļoti specifiski pētījuma aspekti un situācijas, un rezultāti, vai tas ir kaut kas, ko var pielīdzināt cita valsts citai?K Miķelis Grīviņš: Pagājušajā kongresā redzējām, ka bija ļoti liels fokuss uz ilgtspējīgākajiem lauksaimniecības modeļiem, galvenais fokuss bija uz agroekoloģiju. Digitalizācija bija bija milzīga tēma, bija vairākas sesijas tikai par to, kā aplūkot dažādus aspektus digitalizācijā. Protams, kā atrast jaunas iespējas kopējā pārējā, kur pilsēta kļūst par arvien nozīmīgāku un lielāku ūdensgalvu un lauki varbūt ne vienmēr piesaista tikpat lielas investīcijas. Mums ir liels ekspektācijas pret laukiem, bet, tā kā mēs ne vienmēr novērtējam, ka iedzīvotāju blīvums rada izaicinājumus papildus. Šogad mēs redzam, ka kaut kādas tēmas ir pazudušas. Agroekoloģija ir palikusi par nelielu daļiņu vairs. Priekšplānā izvirzās līdzdalība, dažādas formas, kā lauku iedzīvotāji var iesaistīties plānošanā, kā tie var palīdzēt paši skatīties uz to, kāda ir lauku nākotne. Man liekas, tas prezentēta plašāku vispār pāreju zinātnē, kur mēs fokusējāmies uz to, kā gudrais pētnieks atnāk kaut kur no malas, un tagad tas fokuss ir uz to, ka gudrais pētnieks varbūt vēl joprojām ir gudrs, bet viņš saprot, ka visi pārējie arī gudri un ka tie rezultāti vai uzdevumi ir kopā jārada. Arvien aktuāla tēma ir digitalizācija, bet jau citi skatupunkti. Protams, arī reģiona, kurā notiek kongress aktualitātes nosaka pētījumu tēmas.   Latvijas Nacionālajā dabas muzejā aplūkojama pasaules jūrām veltīta izstāde Latvijas Nacionālajā dabas muzejā atvērta atjaunotā ekspozīcija “Dzīvība jūrās”. Tā iepazīstina ar dažādās pasaules klimata joslās sāļūdenī un tā krastos sastopamiem dzīvniekiem. Muzeja 180. jubilejas gadā jaunā ekspozīcija ir viens no galvenajiem notikumiem. Latvijas Nacionālajam Dabas muzejam šis ir 180. jubilejas gads, un svinības turpināsies visa gada garumā. Viens no būtiskiem jubilejas gada notikumiem ir bijusi atjaunotās ekspozīcijas “Dzīvība jūrās” atklāšana šajā pavasarī. Tāpēc piedāvājam ieskatu ekspozīcijā. Saruna muzejā ar Komunikācijas nodaļas vadītāju Intu Langi, vecāko entomologu Jāni Dreimani un vecāko zooloģi Kristīni Greķi. “Dzīvība jūrās” aizved ceļojumā pa dažādām pasaules klimata joslām, rādot dzīvnieku grupu un sugu daudzveidību. Apmeklētāji var noiet ceļu no Arktikas līdz Antarktikai vienā ekspozīcijas zālē un pēc tam atgriezties mājās - Baltijas jūras krastos - otrā zālē.

Nandi-Ndaitwah was sworn in as Namibia's first female leader last month. Namibia already provides free education in public elementary and high schools, though parents still typically have to pay for school uniforms, stationery, books, and hostel fees. There have been calls for years for all levels of education to be subsidized (補貼的) by the government in the country of around 3 million people in southern Africa.

Atliek uz mirkli pavērot pērtiķveidīgo dzīvnieku kustības, uzvedību, pat skatienu un uzreiz tik uzkrītošas līdzības varam saskatīt ar mums pašiem. Dzīvnieki, kas izpelnījušies titulu, kā visgudrākie un attīstītākie no dzīvniekiem, veido paši savas saziņas formas un vienlaikus spēj saprasties ar cilvēku. Iepazīstam to daudzveidību! Stāsta Rīgas Nacionālā Zooloģiskā dārza pārstāvis Māris Lielkalns. "Mēs, cilvēki, nenovērtējam pērtiķus. Re, kāds foršs, mīļš, jauks pērtiķītis, re, kāds viņš blēņdaris un tamlīdzīgi. Tad, kad viņš viņš pataisa vaļā zobus un parāda savus ilkņus, tad tiem, kas vairāk saprot no pērtiķiem, ļoti liela pārliecība rodas par pērtiķu spēku, par  pērtiķu spējām aizstāvēties, par viņu ilkņu asumu," norāda Māris Lielkalns. Pērtiķi var būt ļoti bīstami.  "Bet visu šo savu bīstamību un bīstamības ieročus viņi liek lietā tikai pašā pēdējā situācijā. Sākumā, ja ir iespējams, viņi vispirmām kārtām draud. Tas ir gan ciešs acu skatiens vai kaut kādas draudu pozas, arī māņu uzbrukums. Pērtiķis, liels, milzīgs, nēsās virsū cilvēkam, bet apstājas. Tas ir drauds, tā ir iebiedēšana. Viņš nav gatavs apēst viņu, to cilvēku, vienalga, to, kuru grib nobiedēt. Bet viņš vienkārši draud, ka var būt ziepes. Ja ne nekas no tā visa nelīdz, tad liek lietā arī savus nopietnākos instrumentus," turpina Māris Lielkalns. Pastāvīga asins izliešana nenotiek, līdzīgi kā cilvēku barā, un arī daudzu dzīvnieku, ne tikai pērtiķu, bet arī plēsēju - baros.  "Pērtiķi ir apveltīti ar pamatīgiem ieročiem, bet līdz ar to viņiem ir arī dažādi rituāli, pakļaušanās rituāli, dominēšanas rituāli, kad viņš var parādīt savu pārākumu un līdz ar to arī nu, nelikt lietā šo instrumentu," norāda Māris Lielkalns. Ir lasīts un dzirdēts par kādiem pērtiķiem, kas kaut ko iemācījušies darīt vai pat darbarīkus lietot. "Protams, šie primāti, ir visattīstītākie, jo smadzeņu daudzums arī ir krietni lielāks nekā citiem proporcionāli viņu ķermeņiem. Tie gudrākie un spējīgāki vairāk izfunktierēt. Tā ir noskatīšanās, kāds kaut ko ir mēģinājis darīt, piemēram, noskalot barību ūdenī. O, pēc tam šo var izmantot. Līdz ar to nu arī pārējie pamācās. Kāds no pērtiķiem ir pamēģinājis, šimpanzes jau šajā ziņā ir priekšzīmīgākās, paņēmis irbulīti un ar to irbulīti termītus dzenā. Ā, viņam izdevās, ja tas ir labs, viņi jau noskatās viens no otra, ko darīt un kā darīt. Tās ir sabiedriskās dzīves priekšrocības," stāsta Māris Lielkalns. "No otras puses ir arī savstarpējā konkurencē. Tas nozīmē, ka dažs labs pērtiķis mēģina kaut kā izcelties. Patiesībā pērtiķi visi cenšas izcelties. Ikviens sevi cienošs pērtiķis grib būt priekšnieks barā. Tas, protams, ir pirmām kārtām, labi - liela atbildība, bet otrām kārtām tās ir priekšrocības. Gan tev visas dāmas ir pieejamas, gan pirmais vari tikt pie barības un labākas barības. Lai tiktu uz augšu pa hierarhijas trepītēm, izmanto dažādus variantus." Māris Lielkalns min piemēru, kur kāds pērtiķis atradis skārda gabalu un to skandinājis, un baidījis citus. Sākumā tas ļāvis pavirzīties pa hierarhijas kāpnītēm, bet pēc tam jau citi atklājuši, ka šis tikai ārdās.   Vai tiešām cilvēka mugurkaulam ir problēmas kopš evolūcijas procesā homo sapiens nostājās uz divām kājām? Kādas vēl, tā teikt, nepilnības ir atrodamas cilvēka ķermenī, salīdzinot ar dzīvniekiem, pārāk šaurs  iegurnis, pārlieku daudz zobu mutē un lielāka iespēja aizrīties. Par to stāsta Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Anatomijas un antropoloģijas institūta asociētā profesore Silvija Umbraško. "Evolūcija nerada pilnību, tā rada funkciju." ir sacījis Prinstonas universitātes  antropologs Alans Manns. Un šoreiz aplūkojam, kuras ir tās nepilnības, ja cilvēka ķermeņa uzbūvi pretstatām dzīvniekiem. Nerunāsim par tādām lietām, kā ātra skriešana, spēja lidot vai ilgstoši uzturēties zem ūdens, bet gan, kādi orgāni mums evolūcijas gaitā ir zaudējuši savu nozīmi, tas ir, tie kļuvuši rudimentāri, piemēram, astes kauls, un kā, cilvēka ķermenim attīstoties, daži orgāni, iespējams, nav pilnveidojušies.  Izrādās astes kaulu vainot nevaram, arī ja tā mums nebūtu, tad neplānota piezemēšanās šā vai tā sāpētu. Skatām tālāk, kas mūsu ķermenī ir palicis no ļoti seniem laikiem. Tie ir tā saucamie gudrības zobi, kuri, iespējams, pirms cilvēks iemācījās apstrādāt un pagatavot pārtiku, noderēja barības sasmalcināšanā, bet evolūcijas gaitā zaudēja savu nozīmi.   Par savu izvēlēto grāmatu stāsta Latvijas Universitātes Eksakto zinātņu un tehnoloģiju fakultātes vadošā pētniece docente Gunta Kalvāne. "Runājot par grāmatām, manā plauktiņā sadzīvo draudzīgi gan zinātniskā literatūra par klimatu, par klimata pārmaiņām, par ilgtspēju, kas ir mana pētījuma joma, gan arī tā dēvētās pašpalīdzības grāmatas, piemēram, kā nopelnīt miljonu, grāmatas, kas palīdz vairāk saprast cilvēka emocijas, komunikāciju, kā cilvēks domā, uztver, kas var noderēt darbā. Bet grāmata, par kuru es vēlētos pastāstīt vairāk, ir tā, kurā ir visvairāk pasvītrojumu, izsaukuma zīmju," atklāj Gunta Kalvāne. Pagājušajā gadā Gunta Kalvāne piedalījās Ģeogrāfijas kongresā Dublinā un viņu uzrunāja Triniti koledžas profesores stāsts par klimata emocijām. Tur arī iegādājusies vairākas grāmatas par klimata emocijām, par to, kā mēs uztveram klimata pārmaiņas. Un no šīm visaktuālākā ir Sāras Rejas grāmata "Vadlīnijas klimata trauksmei" jeb kā vēsta grāmatas apakšvirsraksts "Kā palikt vēsam jeb noturīgam planētā, kuras sasilst". (Sarah Jaquette Ray "Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet"). "Tā ir drīzāk padomu grāmata, kā gan pasniedzējiem, gan vecākiem, bet patiesībā ikvienam saprast klimata emocijas, klimata emociju spēku un kāpēc par klimata emocijām ir jārunā," bilst Gunta Kalvāne.

Lai touts safety and social consensus as prerequisites for any nuclear policy shift President Lai Ching-te has been meeting with environmental groups and is seeking to assure them that his administration's position on nuclear power remains unchanged. Speaking a closed-door meeting with representatives from a dozen environmental groups, Lai said any changes to the government's nuclear policy must meet "three prerequisites." Those prerequisites (玡矗兵ン) include ensuring nuclear safety, achieving proper nuclear waste management and securing social consensus on the issue. Lai also stressed that the government "maintains an open attitude toward new and advanced nuclear technologies" as it works to provide stable energy supply and meet its goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Civil servants to receive pay raise starting in May And, Premier Cho Jung-tai has announced that civil servants, military personnel and public school teachers will have a 3-per cent pay raise issued beginning in May. The pay rise was approved by the Cabinet in July of last year. Cho says the pay hike was delayed because the Cabinet believed it was inappropriate to allocate the funds before its efforts to overturn ( 崩陆) the 3.1-trillion central government budget plan approved by the Legislature were resolved. He he went on to say that a decision was finally made Tuesday morning to start dispensing the 3-per cent salary raise for civil servants starting next month. UN Appoints Head of Review of UNRWA The United Nations chief has appointed a British human rights activist to carry out a strategic review of the U.N. agency helping Palestinian refugees. U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric announced the review on Tuesday. He said Ian Martin, a former head of Amnesty International, will also be looking at the ¨consequences and risks for Palestinian refugees〃 of UNRWAˇs operations. The purpose is to assess its impact under the "present political, financial, security and other constraints (兵ン).〃 Israel has banned the agency, known as UNRWA, from operating on its territory. But its Palestinian staff have still been key to delivering aid and running medical clinics in Gaza, even though Israel has cut off all humanitarian deliveries since March 2.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 115-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 18,990 on turnover of 3-billion N-T. The market fell by almost 300 points on Monday due to lake of investor interest in semiconductor heavyweights as U-S tariff polices continue to impact market sentiment. Large-cap semiconductor stocks led the broader market lower once again sending the electronics index down by 1.6-per cent by the close of the day's trading. Premier approves NT$88 billion U.S. tariff support package Premier Cho Jung-tai has approved the Cabinet's 88-billion N-T support package aimed at mitigating (減輕) the impact of higher U-S tariffs on Taiwan's economy. However, details on what the plan contains remain relatively vague. Cabinet Secretary-General Kung Ming-hsin says the plan will offer Taiwan companies various forms of financial support and will serve as a sort of "umbrella on a rainy day." Departments responsible for administering the 20 measures contained in the package are slated to explain them in more detail in the coming days. Foreign minister to attend Eswatini king's birthday celebration Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung will lead a delegation to Eswatini King Mswati III's 57th birthday celebration as President Lai Ching-te's special envoy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Lin will be heading a delegation of government officials and a group of business representatives to Eswatini from today through Saturday. The delegation will attend festivities (慶祝活動) and the main celebration, which is scheduled on Friday.

UN Sounds Warning on Haiti Gang Violence The top U.N. official in Haiti is sounding an alarm to the U.N. Security Council that escalating (不斷升級) gang violence is liable (很可能會發生的) to lead the Caribbean nation to “a point of no return.” Maria Isabel Salvador is warning that “Haiti could face total chaos” without increased funding and support for the operation of the Kenya-led multinational force helping Haiti's police to tackle the gangs' expanding violence. She spoke to the Security Council on Monday. The gangs have grown in power since the 2021 assassination of the president and are now estimated to control 85% of the capital and are moving into surrounding areas. That was the I.C.R.T.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 16! April 30, 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. So we're excited that our conversation today is with Vicky Nguyen, an award-winning NBC News Daily anchor and Senior Consumer Investigative Correspondent. She can be seen regularly on The TODAY Show, NBC Nightly News, and NBC News NOW. And that's not all! Her latest work is the touching and inspiring memoir Boat Baby. It details the story of her and her parents, and their journey from Saigon to the U.S. Throughout their struggles and successes in America the reader is treated to touching and funny stories of their experiences. Born in Saigon, Vietnam, she and her parents fled the country in the dead of night on May 4, 1979. As with so many Southeast Asian refugees from 1975 through the 80s, they encountered several life or death challenges before finding their way to the refugee camp at Pulau Bidong, Malaysia. After staying there for 10 months, they had the good fortune of being sponsored to come to America. In our conversation, we talk about her personal journey to being an award-winning journalist as well as her thoughts on fate, embracing change, the privilege of being a role model in media, and so much more. We highly recommend going out and getting Boat Baby. If you want more of Vicky, watch her on the various shows she's on, follow her on instagram, or visit her website to see some of her special reports. We especially like her special reports on the rise of anti-asian hate entitled The Racism Virus as well as her very personal four-part story From Saigon to Silicon Valley.

Lai calls for more trade cooperation with NZ amid global challenges President Lai Ching-te is urging New Zealand to expand trade and business opportunities with Taiwan. Speaking during a meeting with a visiting New Zealand parliamentary delegation, Lai said both sides can work together to "explore even more diverse markets" - such as smart agriculture, food manufacturing, biomedicine, the digital economy and clean energy. Lai also called for Taiwan and New Zealand should deepen cooperation and jointly advance their economies and industrial development in the face of global challenges. There have recently been calls for the government to seek market diversification (多樣化) for Taiwan products in the wake of levies imposed by the United States on Taiwanese goods earlier this month.

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 15! When it comes to Supreme Court decisions that impacted the classroom, most people know about Brown v Board of Education. A lesser known landmark decision was also very impactful in schools across the U.S. We're talking about Lau v Nichols… a case that influenced the interpretation of Title VI and how U.S. schools needed to support second language learners to succeed in school. In this episode, we talk about the lead up to Lau v Nichols, what the impact of the Supreme Court decision was, and the lasting legacy of the decision. We also take time to address the rhetoric around the ending of the Department of Education and how it would impact not just Bilingual Education but how students are supported in the U.S. We begin the episode with a LOT of current events including growing anti-miscegenation-like decisions, Janet Yang, Alysa Liu, Caitlyn Chen, Te-hina Paopao, and Jonny Kim. We end with another installment of Weird History where we talk about the decision by Levi Strauss and Company to lean into anti-Chinese labor practices back in the late 1800s.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, calling it Operation Al Aqsa. For journalist Yardena Schwartz, the massacre was a chilling echo of the 1929 Hebron Massacre—the brutal slaughter of nearly 70 Jews, incited by propaganda that Jews sought to seize the Al Aqsa Mosque. At the time, she was deep into writing her first book, Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 Massacre in Palestine That Ignited the Arab-Israeli Conflict. In this episode, Yardena shares how history repeated itself, how the October 7 attack reshaped her book, and why understanding the past is essential to making sense of the present. ___ Read:  Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 Massacre in Palestine That Ignited the Arab Israeli Conflict Listen – AJC Podcasts: The Forgotten Exodus: Untold stories of Jews who left or were driven from Arab nations and Iran Social media influencer Hen Mazzig on leaving Tunisia Chef Einat Admony on leaving Iran Playwright Oren Safdie on leaving Syria Cartoonist Carol Isaacs on leaving Iraq Novelist Andre Aciman on leaving Egypt People of the Pod:  Latest Episode: Higher Education in Turmoil: Balancing Academic Freedom and the Fight Against Antisemitism Held Hostage in Gaza: A Mother's Fight for Freedom and Justice Yossi Klein Halevi on the Convergence of Politics and Religion at Jerusalem's Temple Mount Follow People of the Pod on your favorite podcast app, and learn more at AJC.org/PeopleofthePod You can reach us at: peopleofthepod@ajc.org If you've appreciated this episode, please be sure to tell your friends, and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. __ Transcript of Interview with Yardena Schwartz: Manya Brachear Pashman: Hello, and welcome to People of the Pod, brought to you by American Jewish Committee. Each week, we take you beyond the headlines to help you understand what they all mean for America, Israel and the Jewish people. I'm your host Manya Brachear Pashman:. In October 2023 journalist Yardena Schwartz was in the middle of writing her first book exploring the rarely talked about 1929 Hebron massacre, in which nearly 70 Jews were murdered, dozens more injured by their Muslim neighbors during riots incited by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who spread lies that Jews wanted to take over the Al Aqsa Mosque. When she heard reports of the October 7 terror attacks by Hamas dubbed Operation Al Aqsa, she realized just how relevant and prescient her book would be, and began drafting some new chapters. Yardena is with us now to discuss that book titled Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 Massacre in Palestine that ignited the Arab Israeli conflict. Yardena, welcome to People of the Pod.  Yardena Schwartz: Great to be here, Manya. Manya Brachear Pashman: So full disclosure to you and our audience. You attended Columbia Journalism School 10 years after I did, and you took Professor Ari Goldman's class on covering religions 10 years after I did that, class had always traveled to Israel, and I had hoped it would be my ticket to go to Israel for the first time, but the Second Intifada prevented that, and we went to Russia and Ukraine. Instead, your class did go to Israel, and that was your first visit to Hebron, correct?  Yardena Schwartz: So it was in 2011 and we went to Hebron for one day out of our 10 day trip to Israel, and it was my first time there. I was the only Jewish student in our class. It was about 15 of us, and I was the only one who had been to Israel. I had been all over Israel, but I had never been to Chevron. And our tour was with Breaking the Silence, an organization of former Israeli soldiers who had served in Hebron or in other parts of the West Bank and wanted Israelis to know what was happening in Hebron and how Palestinians were living there, and the various restrictions that were put in place as a result of terrorist attacks. But nevertheless, you know, those restrictions were extremely disturbing, and that brief visit in 2011 made me really never want to go back to Hebron. And when I moved to Israel two years later to become a freelance journalist there, and, you know, to move to Israel because I loved Israel, and still obviously love Israel, I didn't really go back to Chevron because I, you know, was really troubled by what I saw there. But this book took me, of course, back to Chevron hundreds of times, spending hundreds of hours there. And it came to be, you know, my expertise in this conflict, in my reporting. And you know, of course, Heron is kind of the main character in this book, Manya Brachear Pashman: Tell us how you came to find out about this massacre. Was it mentioned during that class visit in 2011 or was it later that you learned about it? Yardena Schwartz: So that was one of the most interesting things about my early adventure into writing this book, was that I had of course been to have Ron, and yet, during that day that we spent there learning so much about the history of this place, this deeply holy place to so many people, there was no mention of the massacre of 1929, so, you know, I knew that Chevron is, you know, the second holiest city in Judaism, the burial place of Abraham And the matrix and patriarchs of the Jewish people. And you know the first place where King David established his kingdom before Jerusalem. So it was holy before Jerusalem. And yet I had no idea that this ancient Jewish community in Hebron had been decimated in 1929 in one of the worst pogroms ever perpetrated. We all know about the kishineff pogrom of 1904 and yet the pogrom in 1929 in Hebron, perpetrated by the Muslim residents of Hebron, against their Jewish neighbors, was more deadly and more gruesome than the kishineff pogrom, and it effectively ended 1000s of years of Jewish presence in this holy city. And so when I was told by my mentor, Yossi Klein Halevi, the amazing writer, that there was a family in Memphis, Tennessee that had discovered a box of letters in their attic written by a young American man from. Memphis, who had traveled to Chevron in 1928 to study at the Hebron yeshiva, which was at the time, the most prestigious yeshiva in the land of Israel in what was then, of course, British Mandate Palestine. And that this young man had been killed in that massacre. Yet his letters, you know, painted this vivid portrait of what Chevron was before the massacre that took his life. I was immediately fascinated. And I, you know, wanted to meet this family, read these letters and see how I could bring the story to life. And I was introduced to them by, yes, in 2019 so that's when I began working on my book. And you know, as you mentioned, I was still writing the book in 2023 on October 7, and this book I had been writing about this massacre nearly a century ago immediately became more relevant than I ever hoped it would be.  Manya Brachear Pashman: The young American man from Memphis. His name was David Schoenberg. Give our listeners a history lesson. Tell us about this 1929 massacre. So Yardena Schwartz: On August 24 1929 also a Shabbat morning in crevorone, every Jewish family had locked their doors and windows. They were cowering in fear as 1000s of Muslim men rioted outside their homes, throwing rocks at their windows, breaking down their doors and essentially hunting down Jews, much like they did on October 7, families were slaughtered. Women and teenage girls were raped by their neighbors in front of their family members. Infants were murdered in their mother's arms. Children watched as their parents were butchered by their neighbors, rabbis, yeshiva students were castrated and Arabic speaking Jews, you know, Sephardi, Mizrahi, Jews, who composed about half of the Jewish population in Hebron at the time, and were very friendly with their Arab neighbors. You know, they went to each other's weddings and holidays, went to each other's shops, and these people were also slaughtered. It wasn't just the yeshiva students who had come from Europe or from America to study there, or, you know, the Ashkenazi Jewish families. It was, you know, Arabic speaking Jews whose families had been there for generations and had lived side by side in peace with their Muslim neighbors for centuries. They too were slaughtered. Manya Brachear Pashman: Why did their Muslim neighbors turn on them so suddenly and violently? The Yardena Schwartz: rioters that day were shouting Allahu Akbar. They claimed to be defending Islam and Al Aqsa from this supposed Jewish plot to destroy Al Aqsa in order to rebuild the Third Temple. This is what they had been told by their leaders and by Imams and their mosques and in Hebron, that Lai had also extended to the tomb of the patriarchs and matriarchs, which is known in Arabic as the Ibrahimi mosque. Imams there had told Muslims in Hebron that the Jews of Hebron were planning to conquer Ibrahimi mosque in order to turn it into a synagogue. So this incitement and this disinformation that continues to drive the conflict today. Really began in 1929 the rumors about this supposed Jewish plot to destroy Al Aqsa that began in 1928 around the same time that David Schoenberg arrived in Palestine to study at the yeshiva. Manya Brachear Pashman: So in addition to the letters that David Schoenberg wrote to his family back in Tennessee. How else did you piece together this history? How did you go about reporting and researching it? Who kept records?  Yardena Schwartz: So it's really interesting, because I was so surprised by the lack of literature on this really dramatic moment in history, in the history of Israel, the history of this conflict. And yet, despite the fact there are really no books in English, at least, about the massacre and about these riots and what led to them, there were mountains of, you know, testimony from victims and survivors. The British carried out this commission after the riots that produced this 400 page report filled with testimony of British officials, Arab officials, Jewish officials, survivors. So there was just so much material to work with. Also, survivors ended up writing books about their experiences in Hebron, very similar to David's letters, in a way, because they wrote not only about the riots and the massacre itself, but also what they experienced in Hebron before they too, wrote about, you know, the relatively peaceful relations between the city's Jewish minority and the Arab majority. And I also relied on archival newspaper reports so the. Riots really occupied the front pages of American newspapers for about a week, because it took about a week for the British to quell the riots, and they did so with an air, land and sea campaign. They sent warships and war planes from across the British Empire and sent troops from other parts of the British Empire. Because one of the reasons the riots were so effective, in a way, you know, were so deadly, especially in kharag, was because there was just no military force in Palestine. At the time, the British did not have a Palestine military force, and it was only after the 1929 riots that they did have troops in Palestine. Until then, they had the Palestine police force, and that police force was mostly Arabs. In Hebron, for example, there were about 40 policemen under the stewardship of one British police chief, and all but one of those policemen were Arabs, and many of them participated in the massacre or stood by outside of Jewish homes and allowed the mobs to enter the homes and carry out their slaughter. And Manya Brachear Pashman: I'm curious. There was a lot of newspaper coverage, but what about the international community's response beyond the British Empire? Yardena Schwartz: So there were actually protests around the world against the massacre in New York. 35,000 people marched through the streets of Manhattan to protest the British failure to protect their Jewish subjects from these riots. Most of the marchers were Jewish, but nevertheless, I mean 35,000 people. We didn't see anything like that after October 7. Of course, we saw the opposite people marching through the streets of New York and cities around the world supporting the mass of October 7. You know, I mentioned this March in New York, but similar protests were held around the world, mostly in Jewish communities. So in Poland, Warsaw and in England, there were protests against the British failure to protect Jews in Palestine from these riots. And the American government was livid with the British and they sent statements put out, statements to the press, criticizing the British inaction, the British failure to protect the Jewish subjects and the American citizens who were in Palestine at the time, there were eight Americans killed in Hebron on August 24 1929. Out of the 67 Jewish men, women and children who were killed, and all of them were unarmed. The Haganah at the time, you know, the underground Jewish Defense Force that would later become the nucleus of the IDF, the Haganah was active then, mostly in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, there were no Haganah members in Hebron. The Hebron Jewish community was very traditional, very religious, and when Haganah came to Hebron two days before the riots erupted, they because they knew that these riots were going to happen. There had been calls from Arab officials to riot, to attack Jewish communities across Palestine. And so the Haganah came to Hebron to warn Jewish leaders of Hebron that they could either come there to protect them or evacuate them to Jerusalem to safety until the riots subsided and the Jewish leaders of Hebron were unanimous in their opposition. They said, No, you know, we're friends with our Arab neighbors. They'll never hurt us. We trust them. If anything happens elsewhere, it won't happen here. And they believed that because, not only because they had such a good relationship with their Arab neighbors and friends, but also because in previous outbursts of violence in other years, like in 1920 1921 when they were much smaller riots and much less deadly riots. When those riots reached other parts of Palestine, they didn't reach Hebron because of those relations and because they weren't fueled by incitement and disinformation, which was what led the riots of 1929 to be so massive and so deadly, and what led them to be embraced by previously peaceful neighbors. Manya Brachear Pashman: How did that disinformation travel in 1929 How did it reach those neighbors in Hebron? Yardena Schwartz: When we talk about disinformation and misinformation today, we think of it as this, you know, modern plague of, you know, the social media era, or, you know our fractured media landscape. But back in 1929 disinformation was rampant, and it also traveled through Arabic newspapers. They were publishing these statements by Arab officials, mostly the Grand Mufti Hajime Husseini, who was the leader of Palestinian Muslims under British rule, he began this rumor that the Jews of Palestine were plotting to conquer Al Aqsa mosque to rebuild their ancient temple. Of course, Al Aqsa is built upon the ruins of the ancient temples. Temple Mount is the holiest place for Jews in the world. And in 1929, Jews were forbidden from accessing the Temple Mount because it was considered, you know, a solely holy Muslim site. But the closest place they could pray was the Western Wall, the Kotel. And Jews who were demanding British protection to pray in peace at the Western Wall without being attacked by Muslims as a result of this disinformation campaign were then painted by the Arabic press as working to conquer the Western Wall, turn it into a synagogue, and then from there, take Al Aqsa Mosque.  So this disinformation traveled from the very highest of Muslim officials. So the imams in mosques across Palestine, specifically in Al Aqsa and in Hebron, were repeating these rumors, these lies about this supposed Jewish plot. Those lies were then being published in flyers that were put in city squares. Jewish officials were warning the British and telling, you know, they should have known and they should have done more to end this campaign of disinformation, not only to achieve peace in this land that they were ruling over, but also because they were responsible for installing hajamina Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, into his position they had chosen him for that position, that all powerful position. And so they were responsible, in a way, for all of these lies that he was spreading. And yet they took no responsibility.  And even in the commission that they sent to Palestine from London to investigate the causes of the riots, despite the fact that, you know, if you read these, you know, 400 pages, I don't recommend it. It's a tough reading. But, you know, I did that for this book. And it's so clear from all of these hearings that this disinformation campaign was very obvious, very clear and very clearly to blame for the riots. And yet, because saying so would have made the British responsible for so much death, their conclusions in this commission was that it was Jewish immigration to Palestine and Jewish land purchases at the time that had sparked the riots, and that it was this Jewish demonstration, peaceful demonstration at the Western Wall on to Shabaab in August of 1929 that had sparked these riots.  So there's just, you know, this absolute lack of accountability, not only for the Mufti, who retained his position and became even more powerful and more popular as a leader after these riots, but also for the British and instead, you know, the Jewish victims were blamed for their suffering. At the time, Jews were just 20% of the Palestinian population, which was just 1 million people. Of course, today, Israel is home to more than 10 million people. So you know, clearly there was room for everyone. And the Jews at the time were very peaceful. The Haganah was a very, you know, weak, decentralized force, and after these riots, it became much stronger, and Sephardi Jews and Mizrahi Jews, more traditional Jews who had not joined the Haganah before 1929 had not really embraced Zionism before 1929 now agreed that if Jews were going to be safe in our homeland, then we would need our own army. Manya Brachear Pashman: Can we talk a little bit about the turn toward radicalization and extremism during this time, and what role that has played in the years since? Yardena Schwartz: you know, the Zionist leadership was very adamant that Jews in Palestine should not be carrying out attacks against Arabs in Palestine. You know, it should be really about defending Jews, preventing attacks, but not carrying out retaliatory attacks. But as we've seen throughout the century, of this conflict. You know, extremism begets extremism. And you know, when violence is being used by one side, it is going to be used by the other side as well. And so the rise of a more militant form of Zionism was a direct result of 1929 and this feeling of just helplessness and this feeling of relying on this foreign power, the British, to protect them, and realizing that no foreign power was going to protect the Jews of Palestine and that Jews would have to protect themselves, and the radicalism and the extremism within the Muslim population, particularly the Muslim leadership of Palestine, really just accelerated after the massacre, because they saw that it succeeded. I mean, the British punished the Jewish population of Palestine for the riots by vastly limiting Jewish immigration, vastly limiting Jewish land purchases. Notice, I use the word land purchases because, contrary to a lot of the disinformation we hear. Much today, none of this land was being stolen. It was being purchased by Jews from Muslim land owners. Many of them were absentee landowners. Many of them were from the wealthiest families in Palestine. And many of them were members of, you know, this anti Zionist, pro Mufti circle, who were then telling their own people that Jews are stealing your land and evicting you from your land, when, in fact, it was these wealthy Arab landowners who were selling their land to Jews at exorbitant prices. Manya Brachear Pashman: Did you establish a motive for the Mufti and what were his intentions spreading this disinformation? Yardena Schwartz: Great question. So it was very clear. I mean, he never admitted this, but it was very clear what his motives were, and that was to counter the criticism and accusations of corruption that had dogged him for years, until he began this campaign of propaganda which led much of that criticism and much of those stories of his corruption within the Arabic press and among his Arab rivals to essentially disappear, because now they had a much more threatening enemy, and that enemy was the Jewish community of Palestine, who was plotting to destroy Al Aqsa, conquer Al Aqsa, rebuild their temple, take over Palestine and his campaign worked. You know, after that propaganda campaign became so successful, there were very few people willing to stand up to him and to criticize him, because after 1929 when he became so much more powerful, he began a campaign of assassinations and intimidation and violence used against not only his political rivals and dissidents, but also just Anyone who favored cooperation between Arabs and Jews in Palestine. So there were various mayors of Arab cities who wanted to work together with the Jewish community of those cities or with other Jewish leaders to bring about various economic initiatives, for instance. And some of those mayors were assassinated by the muftis henchmen, or they were just intimidated into silence and into kind of embracing his platform, which was that Palestine is and has always been and should always be, a purely Muslim land, and that there is no place for any kind of Jewish sovereignty or Jewish power in that land.  So, you know, the Mufti, in 1936 he ended up leading a violent rebellion against the British. And the British at that point, had gotten tired of ruling Palestine. They realized it was much more work than they were interested in doing, and they were interested in leaving Palestine, handing over governance to the local population to the Jews and Arabs of Palestine, and they had been interested in figuring out what could be done. Could there be a binational state with equal representation, or representative governance? If Jews are 40% of the population and Arabs are 60% then there could be some kind of governance on those ratios, all of those solutions, including a two state solution, which was presented in 1937 all of those solutions were rejected by the grand mufti, and his platform was embraced by the other Arab officials within Palestine, because if it wasn't, they could face death or violence. And he even rejected the idea of Jews remaining in Palestine under Arab rule. You know when the British said to him, okay, so what will be done with the 400,000 Jews who are in Palestine right now? He said they can't stay. So he didn't only reject the two state solution. He rejected, you know, this bi national, equal utopian society that we hear proposed by so many in pro Palestine movement today. You know, all of these solutions have been on the table for a century and always. They have been rejected by Palestinian leaders, whether it was the Grand Mufti or his apprentice, his young cousin, yas Arafat. Manya Brachear Pashman: Ah, okay, so what happened to Grand Mufti Husseini? Did he stick around? So The Mufti was eventually, finally wanted for arrest by the British after his rebellion claimed the life of a British official. Until then, it had only claimed the lives of Jews and Arabs, but once a British official was killed, then the British had decided that they'd had enough of the Mufti, and they ordered his arrest. He fled Palestine. He ended up in Iraq, where he was involved in riots there the far hood in which many Jews were massacred, perhaps hundreds, if not over 1000 Jews were slaughtered in Baghdad, which was at the time home to about. 100,000 Jews. He then fled Iraq and ended up in Berlin, where he lived from 1941 to 1945 in a Nazi financed mansion, and he led the Arab branch of Joseph Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda. He was the Nazi's leading voice in the Arab world, he spread Nazi propaganda throughout the Muslim world and recruited 10s of 1000s of Muslims to fight for the Nazis, including in the Waffen SS and when the war ended, when world war two ended, and the UN wanted him for Nazi war crimes, he was wanted for Nazi war crimes, placed on the UN's list of Nazi war criminals. Once again, he fled, first to France, then to Cairo, eventually settling in Beirut, where he continued to lead his people's jihad against the Jews of Palestine. So when, in 1947, when the UN voted to partition British Mandate Palestine into an Arab state and a Jewish state so that the British could finally leave Palestine. He declared jihad, and he rejected the Partition Plan, along with every other Arab state which also rejected it. Of course, the Jews of Palestine embraced it, celebrated it, and the very next day after the UN vote, riots erupted throughout Palestine, and he helped. He was kind of pulling the strings of that Jihad taking place in Palestine. And in fact, 1000 Muslim men who he had recruited for the Waffen. SS joined that holy war in Palestine. The Mufti helped create the army of the holy war. Yasser Arafat, who was also in Beirut at the time, also assisted the army of the holy war. He actually fought in the war that began in 1947 alongside the Muslim Brotherhood. So, you know the legacy that the Mufti had? You know, it doesn't end there. It continued to his dying day in 1974 and Arafat took over his mantle as the leader of the Palestinian people. And you know, we see how the disinformation and incitement and rejection of Jewish sovereignty in any part of the ancient land of Israel has continued to be a prominent force in Palestinian politics no matter who was in charge. You know, the Fatah, Mahmoud, Abbas and Hamas, of course, perpetuate the same lies about Al Aqsa. They perpetuate the same denial of a Jewish right to live in peace in our homeland, deny the history of Jewish presence in Israel. So, you know, it's really astounding to me how little is known about the Grand Mufti and how little is known about his impact on this conflict, and particularly in the very beginnings, the ground zero of this conflict in 1929 Manya Brachear Pashman: It's so interesting. We talk so much about Hitler, right? And his antisemitism, but we don't talk about Husseini. Yardena Schwartz: Yeah, and they were good friends. I mean, they met in 1941 shortly after the Mufti arrived, he had a private chauffeur. He was lavishly paid by the Nazis, and he was good friends with Himmler. He toured concentration camps. He knew very well about the final solution. Hitler himself considered the Mufti an honorary Aryan. I mean, the Mufti had blue eyes, fair skin, light hair. Hitler believed that Husseini had Roman blood, and he saw him as someone who could lead the Nazi forces once they arrived in the Middle East. He saw him as, you know, a great ally of the Nazis. He didn't just participate in the Nazis quest to eradicate the Jewish population of Europe and eventually arrive in Palestine, but he also the Mufti worked to convince various European leaders not to allow Jewish refugees from fleeing Europe and not allowing them to come to Palestine. He told them, send them to Poland, and he knew very well what was happening in Poland. Manya Brachear Pashman: So I want to go back to this family in Tennessee, the genesis of this story, and I'm curious. David Schoenberg's niece said that at one point in the book, she said they're Southern, so they sweep ugly under the rug in the south. And so they just didn't talk about that. And when I read that, I thought, actually, that's kind of a Jewish approach, not a southern approach, except we wouldn't say we sweep things under the rug. We move on, right? We treasure our resilience, and we move on from that pain and we build anew. But is moving on really in the Jewish community's best interest? Is that how we end up forgetting and letting this history and this very important history fade?. Yardena Schwartz: Yeah, absolutely. You know, I think it is possible to do both. It is possible to take great pride in our resilience and in our strength and our ability to experience so much devastation and suffering, and yet every time emerge stronger.  I mean, think about the Holocaust. First of all, for many years, we did sweep that under the rug. Survivors were discouraged from speaking about what they went through. They were seen as, you know, especially in Israel, they were seen as, you know, people who went like sheep to the slaughter. It wasn't something to talk about. It was something to move on from. And yet now we are able to hold both in both hands. You know. We're able to honor and commemorate the memory and speak about the atrocities that millions of Jews suffered during the Holocaust, while also celebrating where we went after the Holocaust. I mean, three years after the Holocaust, Israel was born. You know, that's just, on its own, you know, a remarkable symbol of our resilience and our strength as a people. But I think the way we commemorate the Holocaust is a really great example of how we do both how we honor the memory and use that as a lesson so that it never happens again.  And yet, I think that when it comes to the conflict and the various forces that have led us to where we are today, there is this tendency to kind of try to move on and not really speak about how we got here. And it's really a shame, because I think that this is the only way we'll ever find a way out of this tragic cycle of violence, is if we learn how we got here, the forces that continue to drive this conflict after a century, and you know, the people who brought us here. Not only the Grand Mufti, but also, you know, the leaders today who are very much capitalizing on fear and religion, exploiting religion for their own, their own interests, and utilizing disinformation to remain in power. And I think that, you know, we can't afford not to speak about these things and not to know about our own history. It's really telling that, you know, even in Jewish communities, where people know so much about Israel and about this conflict, there is just a complete lack of knowledge of, you know, the very bedrock of this conflict. And I think without that knowledge, we'll never get out of this mess. Manya Brachear Pashman: Yardena, thank you so much.

Lai arī Latvijas sabiedrība labprāt kritizē politiķu darbu, pašu pilsoņu kopums nav tik aktīvs iesaistīties. Tikai dažām politiskajā partijām biedru skaits pārsniedz tūkstoti. Kādēļ sabiedrības iesaiste partijās ir tik kūtra, par to diskusija Krustpunktā. Analizē domnīcas "Providus" direktore un vadošā pētniece Iveta Kažoka, konservatīvās domas žurnāla "Telos" redaktors un biedrības "Austošā Saule" valdes loceklis Krišjānis Lācis, Latvijas Universitātes asociētā profesore, sociālantropoloģe Aivita Putniņa un Latvijas Universitātes Filozofijas un socioloģijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Mārtiņš Kaprāns. Pagājušajā trešdienā Krustpunktā bija diskusija par to, kas notiek un notiks ar Rietumu demokrātiju, pie varas nokļūstot mantkārīgākiem, negausīgākiem cilvēkiem. Jautājām, ko darīt, lai saglabātu brīvību, kas mums. Vēsturnieks Valdis Kuzmins sacīja, ka ir jāsāk pašiem ar sevi, kaut vai jākļūst politiski aktīvākiem. Latvijā atšķirībā no kaimiņvalstīm, nemaz nerunājot par citām demokrātijām, nav partijas to klasiskajā izpratnē, viņaprāt, ar desmitiem un simtiem tūkstoši biedru, bet gan tādi politiski elitāri klubiņi, kuros piedalās vien ļoti mazs skaits cilvēku. Tā nu tas ir. Mēs arī šad tad raidījumos stāstām par priekšvēlēšanām kādā no valstīm, kur partiju biedri vēl savas partijas vadību. Tur šīs vēlēšanas notiek valsts mērogā, piedalās simtiem, tūkstošiem, pat miljons partijas biedru. Latvijā nekas tāds nav iedomājams. Kāpēc tā? Ko tas nozīmē mūsu demokrātijai? Vai mums ar to ir jāsamierinās?

Welcome to Season 5, Episode 8! Today's episode impacts AANHPI communities, but it's not necessarily solely focuses on our history. We're going to talk about The History of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This is an extremely scary topic to some people… especially the leaders of the Republican Party in the U.S. If you believe what they rant about, DEI is at the heart of unqualified candidates, accidents, and probably hurricanes. But when you listen closely, you'll realize that as much as DEI has become a target, some of the people complaining the loudest actually don't know much about it. So we take a moment to explain what it is, the history, some myths, and the actual benefits and facts based on research. In our short recurring segment, we have a new one called The Message, where we give a short message… a call to action so to speak.  If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

If you’ve passed by the Chess Club storefront in Portland’s Old Town recently, you may have wondered what it sells. A small label in the window gives you a hint — “global magazines.” The store carries hundreds of publications from around the world, with topics ranging from queer periodicals to art and design quarterlies. Owners Andrew Simon and Christy Lai have said that they want the store to serve as a meeting place and conversation starter for people in search of offline connection. Simon and Lai join us to talk about creating physical community in a digital world.
