Blumen, Bäume und Gemüse: Ackerbau muss nicht nur gute Ernte liefern, sondern auch schön aussehen, findet Lene Waschke. Zusammen mit ihrem Mann betreibt sie die solidarische Landwirtschaft „BAUERei Grube eV“ vor den Toren Potsdams. Hier wird das geerntet, was die solidarischen Anteilsnehmer mitbestimmen. Außerdem ist der Acker eine Lernlandschaft für Kinder, Jugendliche und Interessierte. Denn die gelernte Lehrerin hat festgestellt, dass die Themen des schulischen Rahmenplans alle „mal vorbeikommen“ und sie Mathematik oder Biologie optimal in der Natur vermitteln kann. Im Gespräch mit Katrin Heise erzählt Lene Waschke von ihrer Überzeugungsarbeit für mehr Solidarität - nicht nur in der Landwirtschaft.

Lene Harkjær har været i Paris i en måneds tid og har besøg fra Danmark af sin fem år ældre storesøster Ruth. De to har sammen med en veninde aftalt at tage på den populære jazzbar La Huchette i Latinerkvarteret. Da de kommer derind, skal de møve sig frem for at gøre sig bemærket hos tjeneren i den lange bar. Efter et stykke tid, igennem røgsløret fra hundredvis af cigaretter, får Lene øje på en mand, som hun straks føler sig tiltrukket af. »Vi sad ved et bord med nogle irske mænd. Jeg var lidt fuld, og han så sød ud, så jeg rykkede derover. Han var høj og slank og havde fuldskæg og kort mørkt hår. Og venlige øjne. Og så begyndte vi bare at tale sammen«. Det skal vise sig at blive et skæbnemøde, der kommer til at bringe hende helt ind i hjertet af den mest betændte og terrorfyldte konflikt i den tids Europa.

Helle Rørbæk Hørby og Lene Wagner, der begge er hospitalspræster på Aarhus Universitetshospital, taler om prædiketeksten til 16. søndag efter trinitatis, der er fortællingen om Jesus' opvækkelse af enkens søn i Nain. Med afsæt i den almene erfaring af at kunne miste et barn og de sjælesørgeriske perspektiver herpå tales om forholdet mellem det almene og det specielle. Hvilken betydning har det, at Jesus i teksten standser dødens følge, og hvilke følelser kan det vække hos den nutidige tilhører, der har lidt tab? Hvordan kan det blive til et prædikentema om, at livet griber ind i døden? Hvad vil det sige, at Gud har besøgt sit folk?Prædiken på vej er præster, der taler med andre præster og teologer om den kommende prædikentekst - til faglig inspiration og almindelig opbyggelse, til forberedelse for den, der skal prædike på søndag, og til glæde for alle, der vil lytte til en fri og teologisk kvalificeret samtale om de tekster, der skal prædikes over. Podcastserien blev lanceret i 2020 og er siden blevet produceret i skiftende samarbejde med folkekirkens stifter. Der er over 300 afsnit i serien, og der kommer hver uge et nyt til. Prædiken på vej bliver fra palmesøndag 2025 og det kommende år til i et samarbejde mellem Fyens Stift og Folkekirkens Uddannelses- og Videnscenter.

Allen Hall: We're back with Lene Hellstern, the Director of Engineering at PEAK Wind, and we're talking about onshore wind siting, which is a really critical issue that a lot of operators have difficulties with. And I've seen it in the United States and it's not good. And I'm wondering from your perspective, what are some of the problems, Lene? Well first, welcome back to the podcast.  Lene Hellstern: Thank you. And thanks for having me repeat experience last time, so I hope so. I thought I'll pop in again.  Allen Hall: Well, it's good to have you back and thanks  Lene Hellstern: for coming to Copenhagen.  Allen Hall: Yeah, well we love Copenhagen. It's great. Uh, I just wish it was a little bit warmer. Yeah, the sun is terrific. Yeah. When you're in it, well, at  Lene Hellstern: least I fixed that. Right. Yes. It's not raining. It's not raining. Yes.  Allen Hall: We, we quite enjoyed it. Uh, but I'm trying to get an understanding of what the underlying issues are with onshore wind siding and why some of the operators have difficulty later on. Let's just start with the sighting [00:01:00] itself. Yeah. Is usually, we'll see a wind mast out on site for several months, maybe a year, maybe two years. To try to get some wind data. We would  Lene Hellstern: really like that. Yeah. Okay. But, uh, the preferable measurements are lidars.  Allen Hall: Oh, lidars. Yeah. I have not seen a lot of lidars in use. Lene Hellstern: No. You, you need to get some more.  Allen Hall: Why?  Lene Hellstern: Um, because they reach higher.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Lene Hellstern: Um, and you can, uh, you can, you can move them around. Right. And the hassle of installing a Met Mass that's a hundred meters tall, is, uh, is it a problem? Quite, uh. Quite it, it cost a lot more. Yes. Um, and, and the lidars, they, they just, they're better and they measure higher. And you can, you can have one sort of mother lidar and then you can move the other around and you can cover your wind resources and site suitability much better on the site. So I would definitely recommend  Allen Hall: lidars. Okay. How the lidars use a [00:02:00] good bit of power to make them run, correct? Yes. So you need a decent power source? Yes.  Lene Hellstern: You do? Yes.  Allen Hall: Okay. Yeah. I, is that one of the difficulties why they don't use a lidar? Is it just in a lot of remote areas, they don't have the power source to run it?  Lene Hellstern: It could be, or it could be the, the lack of knowledge. Right. Traditionally we have used med masks, yes.  Allen Hall: Forever.  Lene Hellstern: Uh, so, so it could be, and then there are also some, um, uh, some issues with uncertainties because the lidar is the, the standards are not up to date. I would say that's the political way correct way of saying it. So. Eh, the standard actually introduces more uncertainty on the lidar that's really not necessary to, due to a calibration with a me mast. Um, so that there's some, there's some things that needs to improve in that area  Allen Hall: because a lidar should be a lot more accurate than a met mast. Lene Hellstern: Yes. Yeah. Yeah. But, but the, the downside of the lidar, so that, that is not often we see that, is if you don't have enough particles in the air,

Brendan McFarlaneOn Tuesday we buried our friend and comrade Brendan McFarlane. Bik texted me just over 2 weeks or so ago to say he was back in hospital. He had been battling cancer for some time. A few days later the medics stopped his treatment. There was nothing else they could do for him. Suddenly and unexpectedly he was gone. He died peacefully surrounded by his loving family.My solidarity and sympathy to Lene, a mighty woman, and to their children Emma, Tomás and Tina, his brother Gerard and the wider family circle. His loss for them is immeasurable. For his countless friends and comrades his death is a deep blow. Fáilte abhaile LeonardLeonard Peltier was finally released from prison in Florida last week. The 80-year-old political prisoner had spent almost the last 50 years in prison protesting his innocence. Leonard is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and he now on his reservation in North Dakota. His family and friends gathered to welcome him home. After his release he said: “They may have imprisoned me but they never took my spirit!” and he thanked “all my supporters throughout the world who fought for my freedom.” Fáilte abhaile Leonard.Taking A Stand.The decision by Uachtarán Shinn Féin Mary Lou McDonald and Leas Uachtarán Michelle O'Neill not to attend the St. Patrick's Day events in the White House and the Speakers lunch on Capitol Hill, will undoubtedly upset some of our friends across Irish America. This is very understandable.  Sinn Féin's access to successive US administrations was won after decades of very hard work by many people across North America. Understandably they do not want to jeopardise or lose that influence. It is worth noting that in the past Sinn Féin has always attended White House events when invited, including during President Trump's first term in office.So the Sinn Féin decision was taken after much deliberation.  The catalyst for this was the recent statements from President Trump in which he calls for the expulsion of over two million Palestinian people from the Gaza Strip, his refusal to countenance their return and his proposal that the United States of America will take over the region. The decision would have been the same had a democratic President called for the expulsion of two million Palestinians.  

What would you say are the essentials of making m
