Vi är på Engelsbergseminarium. Och se på fan: ett nytt Folkparti. Inget vi tror på, riktigt. På grund av SD:s sabotage av kvittningssystemet föll regeringens illusion av att de har en stabil majoritet i riksdagen: liberaler som inte kunde kvitta ut sig tvingade regeringen att dra tillbaka förslaget om fängelse för 13-åringar. Det har bakats bröd på surdeg med svamp från den 5000 år gamla ismannen Ötzi. Mums? Frans Wachtmeister skriver bra om nativitet i Fokus. Susanna berättar om sin glädje över att vara mamma. Ska man verkligen få köra elsparkcykel full? Edvin Törnblom intervjuar partiledarna i DN även när partiledarna inte kommer. Typiskt DN. Inga-Britt Ahlenius har fått medalj av kungen och skriver som vanligt bra om kommunal korruption. Silvia har också fått medalj av sin man på deras bröllopsdag. Snart midsommar. Vi hyllar måltidshistorikern Richard Tellström. David Hockney har dött. Vi gillar bin. Centern lämnar "klara besked" och allt blir förstås mer snurrigt. Och vi förekommer i månadens utgåva av M Magasin. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

No bārenes par Krievijas ķeizarieni - par Katrīnu I aizvien valda dažādas leģendas un pat vēsturnieki strīdās, kāda ir bijusi carienes izcelsme un dzīve. Kā Ernsta Glika audžumeita nonāca līdz impērijas tronim? Leģendāra personība, kuras dzīves gājums bijis gluži kā meksikāņu ziepju operā - vai vismaz tā gribētos domāt, jo nezināmā par šo biogrāfiju aizvien ir daudz. Meitene, kas dzīvi sāka kā Marta Skavronska, beidza kā Krievijas ķeizariene. Kas bija šī sieviete un kāda bija viņas izcelsme? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā vērtē Latvijas Universitātes Vēstures institūta pētniece, vēstures doktore Mārīte Jakovļeva un mācītājs, Ernstam Glikam veltītas grāmatas autors Andris Pešelis. Daudz nezināmā un leģendu ir par šo personību, atzīst raidījuma viesi. "Ja mēs runājam par meiteni Martu, jāsaka, ka nezināmā ir ļoti daudz. Ja mēs runājam par ķeizariene Katrīna Pirmo, tad tā jau ir vēsturiska persona, zināma, uz politiskās un vēsturiskās skatuves esoša un un labi apskatāma, bet arī viedokļi par viņu kā ķeizarieni arī ir ļoti atšķirīgi," atzīst Mārīte Jakovļeva. Interpretāciju ir daudz par viņas izcelsmi, vai tiešām bija Skavronska, kā nokļuva Glika mājās, nav zināms, kur viņa ir dzimusi, kas bijuši viņas vecāki. Par to ir daudz versiju. Pat populārā vietne Vikipedija dažādas valodās piedāvā dažādas versijas par to, kur ir dzimusi Marta Skavronska. "Nav arī skaidrības par viņas etnisko piederību. Mums gribās domāt, ka viņa bija latviete, igauņiem tikpat labi uzskata, ka viņa bija igauniete vai vai somiete. Baltkrievi uzskata, ka viņa ir cēlusies no Minskas, respektīvi, no baltkrieviem, lietuvieši - no lietuviešiem. Visi velk deķīti uz savu pusi, un nevienam nav konkrēti dokumentētas argumentācijas," turpina Mārīte Jakovļeva.  

When three adult children vanish or turn up murdered back-to-back in Bakersfield, California, their heartbroken mothers refuse to wait for answers. Banding together to form a fierce, unstoppable sisterhood, they launch their own rogue investigation, uncovering a dark underworld of ghost guns, addiction, and fraud. But just as their amateur detective work forces a breakthrough, a devastating plot twist blindsides the community: one of the missing victims is suddenly charged with her own friend's brutal murder. Journalist Olivia LaVoice joins the podcast to unpack the emotional, chaotic, and utterly baffling reality of the Bakersfield Three. LINKS Listen to The Bakersfield Three podcast here.

The studio is buzzing after a massive morning! We dive into the wild world of "dodgy" transactions after a renewed Pokémon card craze sparked a literal ram-raid on a Perth toy shop which hits close to home because Trusso admits he went on a very sketchy-sounding (but totally legit) $7,000 card deal yesterday! We also talk about ultimate "helicopter mums" after a Sydney mother ran onto a rugby field to defend her son during an altercation, prompting hilarious calls from local coaches who see it all the time.

"Neatliekamās sarunas" viešņa - Mazās Mežotnes pils saimniece, tēlniece Regīna Deičmane. Uzzinām, kā sākusies Mazās Mežotnes pils vasaras sezona un kādas solās būt Pētera Vaska 80. dzimšanas dienai veltītās "Svinības" 6. jūnijā, kurās piedalīsies krietns mūziķu pulks, un kurām sagatavoti  sen nedzirdēti un nedaudz piemirsti instrumentālie skaņdarbi un dziesmas. Kas tie būs, paliks noslēpums līdz pat koncerta sākumam... Sarunā - arī par pārējiem Mazajā Mežotnes pilī plānotajiem vasaras koncertiem, par Pētera Vaska fonda darbību un vēl citām ārpusmuzikālām norisēm šajā kultūrvietā. Regīna stāsta arī par rosību darbību atjaunojušajā Mežotnes pilī, kur 6. jūnijā tiks atvērta vēsturiska izstāde "Mūzu galms. Kurzemes hercogienes Dorotejas salons Lēbihavas pilī Ernsta Velkera karikatūrās". Regīna Deičmane: Pētera Vaska jubilejai veltītā koncerta "Svinības" ideja radās pusotru gadu atpakaļ, tiekoties ar Juri Vaivodu. Viņam bija nodoms iet un skatīt, kādas un kur vēl varētu būt saglabājušās Pētera Vaska radītas notis, kuras nav lietā liktas ļoti sen. Mani šī ideja ārkārtīgi uzrunāja, jo sapratu - jā, jubilejas koncertu būs ļoti daudz, ļoti skaisti, īpaši, visi veltīti Pēterim Vaskam viņa jubilejā, bet mums ir jāveido kaut kas atšķirīgs. Pirmkārt, mums ir kamerzāle, mēs nevaram aicināt lielu sastāvu. Mums ir daudz un interesanti kamermūzikas koncerti bijuši, bet šis, ar tik lielu un daudzveidīgu sastāvu, būs arī mums liels izaicinājums. Taču tieši tas man šķita interesanti un uzrunājoši. Gribējās, lai arī pats Pēteris var dzirdēt kaut ko citādu un lai tās arī viņam būtu svētku sajūtas un svinības. Tā kā piedalās tik daudz mūziķu un aktieru, dzima nosaukums “Svinības”. Rūta Paula: Koncertam ir apakšvirsraksts vai moto “Sen nedzirdēti un nedaudz piemirsti instrumentālie skaņdarbi un dziesmas”, tātad notiks gan spēlēšana, gan dziedāšana. Kas būs šajā kuplajā mūziķu pulkā? Regīna Deičmane: Es, protams, vienmēr vēlos, lai piedalītos tie, kas pie mums jau ir bijuši, kam ir bijusi iespēja daudz spēlēt Pētera Vaska mūziku. Tie ir Magdalēna Geka, Daniils Bulajevs, Guna Šnē, Jevgēnija Frolova, Mikus Bāliņš, Amanda Tauriņa, Matīss Eisaks, Guntis Kuzma, Agnese Egliņa, Jenss Emīls Holms un Artūrs Noviks. Tā kā sadarbojamies ar Juri Vaivodu, dabiska doma bija, ka noteikti ir vajadzīgs arī jaunais, brīnišķīgais Dailes 10. studijas vokālistu sastāvs. Aicināti ir Agate Grīnhofa, Katrīna Altenberga, Ralfs Puzāns un nu jau Lielo mūzikas balvu guvušais Eduards Rediko. Taču zvaizgnes vēl saslēdzās tā, ka mums būs arī divi ļoti slaveni aktieri, un tie ir Agnese Budovska un Kārlis Arnolds Avots. Kad iecere radās, vēl nezinājām par lielajiem panākumiem Kannu kinofestivālā un Agneses apbalvojumiem, bet mēs ļoti priecājamies, ka būs mūzika, kas Pēterim Vaskam tapusi jaunībā, un to atskaņos šie jaunie aktieri. Man liekas, tas varētu būt pavisam cits skatījums, citas sajūtas, kā viņi to uztver. Domāju, ka būs ļoti interesanti. Rūta Paula: Paredzu, ka klausītāju interese ir liela! Regīna Deičmane: Man jau nākas domāt, kur lai visus ietilpina (smejas)! Mums ir svarīgi, lai šeit ir cilvēki, kas ir gan Pēterim Vaskam, gan Mežotnei tuvi. Domāju, ka būs jauki pēc tam arī satikties un aprunāties. Liels pārsteigums tas būs arī pašam komponistam. Mēs turam dziļā slepenībā, kuri skaņdarbi izskanēs, kuras notis ir atrastas un digitalizētas. Domāju, ka viņam būs liels, liels pārsteigums. Tāds arī ir mūsu mērķis, tāpēc mēs vairāk par programmu šobrīd neko nevaram teikt, bet paldies “Klasikai”, kuri ierakstīs šo koncertu, un priecājos, ka arī visiem citiem būs pieejams šis koncerts.  

In 2019, I pressed record for the first time and honestly had no idea what I was doing or where it would go. Six years and 250 episodes later, here we are.This episode is a celebration and a reflection. I'm taking you back to where it all started, through every pivot, name change, and season that shaped what the Life Aligned Business® Podcast is today.We started as Embracing the Natural Life, where I shared my passion for a low tox lifestyle while I was in the leadership ranks of doTERRA. Then came Embracing Life after I completed my Life Coaching Certification in April 2020. Then The Mum Boss Podcast as my focus shifted to supporting Mums in business. And eventually, Life Aligned Business® Podcast, the home it was always growing toward.250 episodes puts this podcast in the top 2.1% of all podcasts globally. I don't say that to brag. I say it because showing up consistently for six years, through life changes, business pivots, and the moments I nearly stopped, is something worth acknowledging.This one is personal. I hope it reminds you that staying the course, even when it looks different to how you imagined, is always worth it.Click Subscribe to get notified when a new episode is released

4. jūnija vakarā koncertzāles ";Ave Sol" velvēs skanēs ne tikai izcila laikmetīgā kora mūzika, bet arī personīgs radošās izziņas apliecinājums – koncertcikla "Kora laboratorija" jaunākajā programmā pie kamerkora "Ave Sol" diriģenta pults stāsies jaunā diriģente un komponiste Anastasija Kildiša. Šis koncerts, simboliski nosaukts "Lūgšana, kas skan", iezīmē nozīmīgu brīdi pašas mākslinieces radošajā un pētnieciskajā ceļā – viņa ne vien vada kolektīvu, bet pirmo reizi publiski atskaņos arī pašas sacerētu jaundarbu. Diriģents kā starpnieks un pētnieks Anastasija Kildiša, kura šobrīd beidz profesionālās doktorantūras studijas, atzīst, ka diriģenta darbs ir nemitīgu pārmaiņu un iekšējas attīstības ceļš: "Diriģents mainās katru minūti. Nevar būt tā, ka esi viens vienā dienā, cits otrā – visu laiku kaut kas notiek." Šī atklātība un vēlme mācīties no katra sastapta kolektīva vai kolēģa ir viens no iemesliem, kāpēc viņas sadarbība ar "Ave Sol" kļuvusi par īpašu draudzības un cieņas caurvītu māksliniecisko platformu. Diriģente uzsver arī koncertprogrammas veidošanas izaicinājumus: "Koncertprogrammas sastādīšana ir viena no sarežģītākajām diriģenta profesijas disciplīnām." Šoreiz programma tapusi kā daļa no doktorantūras projekta, taču tās idejiskie pamati likti jau sen – kā sapnis, kas caur mūziku ļauj savienot laikmetīgo ar arhaisko. Bizantija kā atslēga jauniem atklājumiem Programmas kodols ir Bizantijas muzikālā tradīcija – to Anastasija atklājusi, pateicoties Andreja Selicka darbiem un iegrimstot kristīgās pasaules muzikālajos arhetipos. "Lai atklātu ko jaunu, jāatgriežas pie kaut kā ļoti arhaiska, pie kaut kā senatnīga," viņa uzsver, atgādinot, ka Bizantijas mūzika bijusi iedvesmas avots arī gregoriskajiem korāļiem un vēlākai Eiropas kormūzikai. Šī interese kļuvusi par pamatu arī jaunradītajam skaņdarbam "Svētā saruna" – Anastasijas pirmajam nopietnajam kompozīcijas mēģinājumam. Piecu daļu ciklā, kas balstīts pareizticīgo Dievmātes pasludināšanas kanonā latviešu un grieķu valodā, dzirdamas autentiskas Bizantijas melodijas, kas izskan mūsdienīgā skatījumā. "Es mēģināju iekāpt komponista biksēs un sapratu, ka tas nemaz nav tik viegli," atzīst Anastasija, raksturojot radošo procesu kā smagu, bet dziļi pašizziņas pilnu laiku. Mūzikas vienojošais spēks Diriģentes daiļradē garīgā mūzika nav tikai skaņu māksla, bet arī vienotības un kopā būšanas pieredze: "Nosaukums runā pats par sevi – lūgšana, kas skan, un, ja tā skan, tad tā lūgšana vieno." Šī vienotības izjūta, kas īpaši aktuāla šodienas sašķeltajā pasaulē, caurstrāvo gan izvēlēto repertuāru, gan pašu koncertu kā rituālu, kurā klausītājs kļūst par procesa dalībnieku. Starp citiem skaņdarbiem koncertā izskanēs arī britu un poļu komponistu darbi, kā arī Anastasijas īpaši izceltais Andreja Selicka opuss, kura dziļums un garīgums diriģentei ir īpaši tuvs. "Tiešām visi komponisti, kas skanēs, ir vienkārši pērles," viņa ar aizrautību dalās, uzsverot radošā dialoga nozīmi starp komponistu, diriģentu un izpildītājiem. Tradīcijas dzīvība un pēctecība Anastasijas Kildišas ceļš spilgti iezīmē mūsdienu latviešu kordiriģēšanas un kormūzikas attīstību, kur tradīcijas pētniecība un radošums iet roku rokā. Kā pati atzīst: "Diriģents ir pētnieks. Mums jākļūst par staigājošām enciklopēdijām." Izziņas alkas viņa nodod arī saviem audzēkņiem Cēsu un Jūrmalas mūzikas vidusskolās, kur kora literatūras un diriģēšanas studijas kļūst par radošas domāšanas un muzikālās inteliģences kalvi. Koncerts "Lūgšana, kas skan" kļūst par zīmi – brīdi, kurā seno Bizantijas tradīciju gaisma satiek laikmetīgo latviešu kormūzikas meklējumus, apliecinot, ka patiesi nozīmīga māksla dzimst dialogā starp pagātni, tagadni un personīgo pieredzi. Tā ir lūgšana, kas ar skaņas spēku vieno, stiprina un atver ceļu jaunām muzikālām atklāsmēm.

Do fathers in Singapore get a bad reputation for being hands-off? Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah, who chairs the new Marriage and Parenthood Reset Workgroup, drew some flak for speaking about career “detours” as something that should be normalised for mothers - with little mention of a fathers’ role in the parenting journey. Why do we frame the parenting experience as mainly a woman’s role? In this episode of the podcast, I put that question to two fathers: new stay-at-home dad Jeggan Rajendram and Kevin Goh, the Group Head of engagement and programmes at the Centre for Fathering. We discuss who dads benchmark themselves to and whether mothers are preventing fathers from being more hands on. Highlights (click/tap above): 2:05 Are fathers missing from the parenting conversation? 3:30 “Regret minimisation”: Jeggan’s decision to be a stay-at-home dad 7:10 “People still look at me like I was crazy.” 11:27 Mums get a ‘head start’ on parenting 15:08 What’s holding fathers back from being more hands-on? 17:20 Mums, please involve dads, and let go 21:20 Whose standard is the right one? 24:05 The loss of identity as a stay-at-home parent 30:30 Being the stay-at-home parent doesn’t have to be forever 33:27 Encouraging dads to be more active parents 37:11 When dad’s your personal hairstylist 40:08 Will we have more babies if dads and mums are equals?

On this week's episode of Sense by Meg Faure we explore the fourth trimester with honesty, warmth, and practical wisdom. This conversation is proof that less is more, and your baby will thrive when parents feel genuinely supported. Meg Faure is joined by Tove de Chazal Gant, COO of Parent Sense and seasoned mum of three, who takes the hosting seat and asks the questions every new parent is actually thinking.The First Six Weeks: You Are Not FailingThe first six weeks are brutal. Meg says it plainly. Feeding cycles feel relentless, sleep is fractured, and the baby seems to do very little and yet everything at once. Just keeping your baby alive is ticking every single box. Nothing more is required.Milestones: Windows, Not DeadlinesMilestones happen across wide ranges of normal. One late milestone is not a red flag. What matters is the sequence and trajectory. Consistent delay across a developmental bucket, or a gut feeling that something is off, is when parents should seek support. The Parent Sense app lists milestones with ranges in the play section.Sensory Overload: The Times Square EffectA newborn goes from the perfectly regulated womb directly into overwhelming sensory input. Meg compares it to landing on Times Square after living on a quiet savannah. Signs of overload include looking away, falling asleep, grimacing, and inconsolable crying. Tove shares her daughter Nova's story: born six weeks premature, Nova's development stalled not from inability but from a noisy home environment. Turning off background noise made all the difference.Less Is More, and Your Baby Will ThriveThe heart of this episode. Less social pressure, less stimulation, less obligation. The only stimulation that genuinely matters is quiet eye contact, serve and return connection, and touch through massage, swaddling, and carrying. Your baby has 45 minutes of awake time between sleeps. Being alive in the world is enough.Regulating Yourself to Regulate Your BabyBabies cannot self-regulate. Parents must co-regulate. Meg offers two practical tools: square breathing (six seconds in, hold, out, hold, repeated three times) and using feeding as a mindfulness moment. Even five seconds of intentional presence at the start of a feed can shift your physiological state.Listen NowThis episode is essential for every parent in the fourth trimester. Meg Faure reminds us that less is more, and your baby will thrive in an environment of calm, connection, and realistic expectation.

In this episode of Believe in People, Kaitlin Reeve, known online as Sober As A Mother Focused, joins us to discuss motherhood, addiction recovery, trauma, shame, and the unique barriers women face when seeking support.Kaitlin shares her deeply personal journey from childhood trauma and early substance use to cocaine addiction, cannabis dependency, and ultimately long-term recovery. We explore the fear many mothers experience around disclosing addiction, concerns about social services involvement, the stigma placed on women compared to men, and why so many mums remain trapped in addiction for longer than necessary.The conversation examines the reality of parenting while in active addiction, the challenge of rebuilding relationships with children, and the emotional work required to repair trust. Kaitlin speaks openly about guilt, shame, self-forgiveness, and how recovery transformed not only her relationship with substances but also her role as a mother.We also discuss 12-step recovery, the importance of safe spaces where women can be honest without fear of judgement, and the misconceptions surrounding addiction, relapse, cravings, and recovery. Kaitlin offers a powerful perspective on why addiction is often hidden in plain sight and why compassion, understanding, and lived experience must play a greater role in supporting mothers seeking help.This episode offers practical insight for people in recovery, family members, frontline practitioners, and anyone interested in real stories of change. It is a conversation about stigma, secrecy, resilience, and what it takes to choose recovery when everything feels at risk. Topics Covered Motherhood and addiction  Fear of losing children when asking for help  Childhood trauma and adverse experiences  Cocaine addiction recovery  Cannabis dependency  Women and recovery  Parenting in sobriety  Shame, guilt and self-forgiveness  12-step recovery  Stigma and substance misuse  Lived experience and recovery advocacy Resources

23. maijā Mihaila Čehova Rīgas Krievu teātra Arkādes zālē pirmizrādi piedzīvoja režisora, dramaturga un aktiera Artūra Dīča izrāde "Tūrists" – darbs, kas tikpat daudz runā par patiesību kara laika Ukrainā, cik par cilvēka iekšējo pasauli, kas saskaras ar pārmaiņu, nedrošības un vainas izjūtu laikmetu. Šī monoizrāde, kurā piedalās arī ukraiņu aktrise Anastasija Ļovina, kļuvusi par zīmīgu notikumu teātra sezonā, piedāvājot skatītājam ne vien dokumentālu vērojumu, bet arī emocionālu un filozofisku pārdomu telpu. "Es braucu nelaimīgs, bet Kijivā kļuvu laimīgs"  Artūrs Dīcis "Tūristu" radījis, balstoties uz savu braucienu uz Kijivu – ceļojumu, kas sākotnēji bija iecerēts kā materiāla meklējumi izrādei, taču izrādījās arī personiskās krīzes un cerību meklējumu laiks. "Es braucu nelaimīgs," atzīst Dīcis. "Tas brauciens jau bija ieplānots, un tajā brīdī, kad es iebraucu Kijivā, es pēkšņi kļuvu laimīgs. Tad man likās, ka tas ir pētniecības objekts – kas ar mani notiek tieši šajā situācijā." Šīs izrādes īpašais spēks slēpjas drosmē reflektēt par savu iekšējo konfliktu laikā, kad ziņu lentes piepilda kara šausmas, bet pats šķietami "nedrīksti just, jo salīdzinājumā ar citiem tev ir labi". Izrāde balansē starp dokumentālo un intīmo, piedāvājot skatītājam domāt par to, kā indivīda izjūtas un ikdienas rūpes kļūst relatīvas kara un globālu satricinājumu fonā. Dīcis atklāj: "Galvenā mana atklāsme – ieraudzīt daudz enerģijas un atrast pozitīvās lietas. Tur nav tā, ka tas ir viegli, bet cilvēki arī visdrūmākajā situācijā meklē dzīvīgumu un optimismu." Tūrists kā laikmeta metafora Izrādes nosaukums "Tūrists" nav nejaušs – tas apzīmē gan paša Dīča pozīciju Kijivā, gan tādu kā iekšēju distanci, ar kādu cilvēks nereti raugās uz "svešu" ciešanu pieredzi. "Viņi mani sauca par tūristu," ar ironiju saka Dīcis, taču šī distance tiek nojaukta, izrādei kļūstot par empātijas tiltu. Tajā pašā laikā nosaukums uzsver arī vieglumu, ar kādu dzīve turpina ritēt arī kara apstākļos – šis vieglums kļūst par pretsvaru smagumam, kas nenovēršami ir klātesošs. Dīcis uzsver, ka izrāde nav tikai par Ukrainu. Tā ir arī par mums pašiem, par Latvijas sabiedrību laikā, kad "demogrāfiskā situācija ir katastrofāla", un par to, kā globāli satricinājumi ietekmē mūs visus. Fona scenogrāfijā Hugo Bērziņa minimālistiskā estētika un skaitlis, kas izrādes gaitā pieaug, kļūst par daudzslāņainu simbolu – vienlaikus atgādinot par kara upuriem, bet arī par mūsu pašu nākotnes skaitļiem. No Mocarta līdz Latgalei – cerības un rīcības aicinājums Muzikālais noformējums (Evilena Protektore) un Mocarta "Rekviēma" klātbūtne izrādei piešķir universālas skumju un cerību dimensiju. "Cilvēka prāts ir ģeniāls un brīnišķīgs," prāto Artūrs Dīcis, "bet reizēm tas sāk ražot kaut ko, kas ved mūs greizi." Taču izrādes galvenais vēstījums ir aicinājums vairot labo, pat ja tas šķiet naivi. "Ja dzīvē izdari vairāk laba nekā slikta, jau esi nodzīvojis vērtīgi, jo tad kopsummā tas labais vairojas." Interesanta ir arī Dīča iniciatīva "Vasarā uz Latgali" – simbolisks atbalsta žests reģionam, kas šobrīd īpaši izjūt kara tuvošanos un ar to saistīto nedrošību. "Mums nav bail, mēs jūs atbalstām – turpiniet būt tik viesmīlīgi, kādi esat, un mēs brauksim pie jums un ciemosimies daudz," aicina Dīcis. Teātris kā dzīves atspīdums "Tūrists" ir izrāde, kurā mākslinieka personiskā pieredze saplūst ar kolektīvo pārdzīvojumu, un šī saplūšana atgādina, ka māksla – īpaši teātris – joprojām ir spējīga uzdot neērtus jautājumus un radīt telpu sarunai par to, "kā mums dzīvot". Kā secina pats autors: "Tā ir laba, vērtīga izrāde. Tā nav domāta visiem, bet tiem, kas atnāks, tā dos daudz." Nākamās izrādes gaidāmas 28. maijā, 6. jūnijā un 27. augustā – iespēja ikvienam kļūt par "tūristu" cilvēka iekšējo un ārējo pārmaiņu ceļā. Artūru Dīci uz sarunu aicinājusi Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmijas studente, topošā muzikoloģe Anželika Levičeva.

Season 11 closes with what Pete and Tommy insist is a whimper, which is how you know it is absolutely not a whimper. They handed each other their worst possible topics — trash and recycling for Tommy, seasonal stuff for Pete — and accidentally made an episode about deception, ancient biology, and a rhinoceros named Cacareco who won a 1959 São Paulo city council seat in a landslide.Tommy did, in his own words, "too much research" on recycling, which he now says as a warning. The chasing-arrows symbol is not what you think it is, the plastics industry has known since the eighties that none of this was going to work, and your Starbucks cup is currently booking a one-way flight to Senegal. Pete's seasonal-stuff segment begins with mums — the flower, not your mother — and lands somewhere near the claim that 84 genes in your body are in active dispute with late-stage capitalism about what time of year it is.Thanks for listening to Season 11.

Kādā raidījumā esam runājuši par to, ka Latvijā reti svētki un oficiālās svētku brīvdienas ir siltā laikā. Šogad gan Satversmes sapulces sasaukšanas diena 1. maijā, gan Neatkarības atjaunošanas diena 4. maijā un visās garajās brīvdienās laiks bija vasarīgi silts un dažviet pat bijuši jauni siltuma rekordi. Tie nav bijuši lieli un nozīmīgi, bet kopumā fiksēti 12 vietējas nozīmes rekordi. Un lai arī brīvdienās dažviet ir lijis, tomēr sausais pavasaris ir jūtams un jau bijuši pirmie lielie mežu ugunsgrēki. Šoreiz arī saruna par mežu ugunsgrēkiem, kūlas ungunsgrēkiem un citām dabas stihijām, kurās glābt un palīdzēt dodas Valsts ugunsdzēsības un glābšanas dienests. Saruna ar pieredzējušo dienesta operatīvo dežurantu Agni Pūpolu. Interesanti stāsti arī par glābšanas darbiem plūdos, novērojumi par negaisu un vētru postījumiem, sadarbību ar meteorologiem un pat satelītdatu izmantošanu. Diemžēl kūlas ugusngrēkos arī šajā sezonā izdegušanas gana plašas platības. "Pēdējie gadi Latvijā ir pagājuši salīdzinoši mierīgi gan ar ugunsgrēku skaitu, gan ar izdegušajām platībām. Negribētu tā domāt, bet kaut kas tāds nepatīkams laikam briest, jo ik pēc pāris gadiem ir lielie ugunsgrēki. Un jau šajā pavasarī dati av diez ko iepriecinoši," vērtē Agnis Pūpols. Vai arī cilvēki uzvedas prātīgāk mežā? Agnis Pūpols: Iespējams, kādā brīdī gribētos paslavēt iedzīvotājus, kas tiešām arī pēc sevis aizvāc atkritumus, tāpat meža ugunsnedrošajā sezonā nekurina ugunskurus neatļautās vietās. Bet vēl joprojām mums ir  kūdras purvu ugunsgrēki, kur pēc tam video novērošanas kamerās var redzēt, ka pirms paša ugunsgrēka ir izbraukusi cauri kolonna ar kvadracikliem vai ar motocikliem. Kūdra uzkrīt uz motocikla, viņš apstājas, uzkarst un viņš sāk braukt, kūdra nokrīt. No vienas puses varētu teikt, ka situācija ir uzlabojusies, bet ir gadījumi, kad tā uzvedība liekas diezgan nesaprotama, dīvaina. Situācija dabas stihiju jomā Latvijā kopumā kļūs draudīgāka nākotnē, vvai gan Valsts ugunsdzēsības un glābšanas dienests, gan iedzīvotāji būs sagatavotāki dažādām stihijām? Agnis Pūpols: Saistībā ar pašreiz pasaulē notiekošo, arī ar ģeopolitisko situāciju, kas ir Ukrainā, cilvēki un iedzīvotāji ir pievērsuši ļoti lielu uzmanību savai drošībai. Ja prms pieciem gadiem runātu par 72 stundu somu, reti kurš saprata, kas tas ir un kam tur ir jābūt. Ja mēs tagad apskatītos, ļoti daudzās mājsaimniecībās tā ir sagatavota. Iedzīvotāji ir kļuvuši daudz sagatavotāki tikai tāpēc, ka ir daudz piemēru, no kā mācīties.  Diezgan liela problēma varētu būt meža ugunsgrēki. Ja mēs paskatāmies Portugāli un Spāniju, ar katru gadu viņiem šie ugunsgrēki paliek arvien vairāk. Es pats piedalījos pirms diviem gadiem misijā Portugālē dzēst meža ugunsgrēkus. Viņi saka, ka pirms 20 gadiem nebija tik daudz ugunsgrēku kā tagad mežos. Katru gadu vasara paliek garāka, sausāka. Mums pēdējos gados ir, varētu teikt, paveicies, ka ir lietus, mitruma daudzums un mežs neizžūst tik sauss. Bet tuvākā vai tālākā nākotnē, kļūstot arvien siltākam, arī mēs saskarsimies, ka visapkārt viss ir daudz sausāks. Ja mēs turpināsim vadīt ikdienu vai atpūsties dabā ar tiem ieradumiem, kādi mums ir pašlaik, tad tas var novest pie diezgan lieliem ugunsgrēkiem.

Episode 214:For today's guest episode I was pleased to get the chance to talk to Rob Eastaway, author of a book all about Shakespeare and his relationship to numbers and mathematics. Rob's book ‘Much Ado About Numbers' is a very entertaining read, whatever your level of understanding maths might be and quite an eye opener when considering how much maths permeates into Shakespeare's plays. This is not just about hard numbers and number crunching, but touches to the Elizabethan attitude towards descriptive scales, astrology, astronomy, music and optics. Rob does a great job in the book of condensing these very broad and often technical subjects into a book that is a mixture of popular science, mathematics, history and, of course, literature, so it was great to chat to Rob about just some of those concepts.Rob Eastaway is author of several bestselling books connecting maths with everyday life, including "Why do Buses Come in Threes?" and "How Many Socks Make a Pair?". His first book "What is a googly?", an introduction to cricket, was famously presented by British Prime Minister John Major to President Bush (snr) at Camp David in 1992, and was published in the USA under the title "Cricket Explained". With Mike Askew, he wrote "Maths for Mums & Dads", a book that helps parents to understand the new methods being used to teach maths, and offers ideas for how to make maths more engaging and fun at home. An American edition was published in 2010 entitled "Old Dogs, New Math". Rob appears regularly on radio in the UK and is a regular speaker. An activity that has taken him to the Usa and Australia. He was President of the Mathematical Association from 2007-8.Links to 'Much Ado About Numbers:Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Much-Ado-About-Numbers-Eastaway/dp/1805460293/ref=sr_1_1?Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Much-Ado-About-Numbers-Shakespeares/dp/B0CWD3SNXP/ref=sr_1_1?Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp You can find an advertisement free version of the latest podcast episodes by joining on Patreon at the lowest paid tier level – that's for just £1 per month.

Augant pasaulio gyventojų skaičiui, prognozuojama, kad artimiausiais dešimtmečiais reikės vis daugiau maisto.

Partija "Latvija pirmajā vietā" rudenī gaidāmajās Saeimas vēlēšanās cer uz līdera statusu, jo aptaujas to sola. Kristaps Krištopans no Krištopanu saimes šobrīd ir arī parlamenta deputāts. Krustpunktā saruna ar viņu Lielajā intervijā. Partijas "Latvija pirmajā vietā" Saeimas frakcija ir mazākā starp visām parlamenta frakcijām šobrīd. Bet, ja tendences nemainīsies un socioloģija būs precīza, tad pēc rudens vēlēšanām 15. sasaukumā tā varētu kļūt par vislielāko frakciju. Tas ir pietiekami interesanti, lai ar šo partiju parunāt vairāk.  Mēs iepriekšējās pirmdienās uz studiju aicinājām to partiju pārstāvjus, kas ir izveidojuši jaunus politiskos spēkus, solot nākotnē pārmaiņas. Iepazināmies ar viņu līderiem. Šis saraksts ir noslēgts. Tāpēc nospriedām, ka uz sarunu vajadzētu aicināt kādu no "Latvija pirmajā vietā". Rūpīgi pārdomājām, tieši kuru no cilvēkiem aicināt, jo partijas vadītājs tagad ir Rīgas domē, daudz intervēts un sen zināms. Turklāt pirms vēlēšanām ar viņu noteikti tiksimies. Tā izvēlējāmies Saeimas frakcijas vadītāja vietnieku. Arī tāpēc, ka partija šajā sasaukumā tika daudz aprunāta ģimenisko saišu dēļ, jo abi redzamākie partijas līderi uz parlamentu līdzi atveda savus dēlus. Viens no viņiem - Ričards Šlesers - intervijas tikpat kā nav sniedzis un ir itin neredzams deputāts. Bet Kristaps Krištopans gan nevairās, ir arī piedalījies vairākās Krustpunktā diskusijās. Mums likās interesanti aprunāties plašāk ar viņu.

While Tom's away, Matt & Riley pitch some family spy movies, what do you do when your Spy Mother goes missing, and the only person you can call for a lift is her hapless new boyfriend? Charlie Day, Kate Blanchett and Henry Cavill (but aged down in a time machine) star in this feel-good family romp. Other movies pitched: MI6-year-old The KGB is for life, not just for christmas. Listen to Radio Go! and the Tide. They're good podcasts!

When we talk about working parents, we often focus on mums. But what if one of the biggest missing pieces in the conversation is dads? In this episode of the Working Mumma podcast, Carina speaks with fatherhood advocate Michael Ray about why working mums cannot carry the load alone, and why fathers need to be seen, supported and expected to be equal parents from the beginning. Michael shares his own story of becoming a father at 49 and then unexpectedly becoming a solo dad to his daughter Charlie. From being banned from backstage at his daughter's ballet concert because “no males were allowed”, to speaking out about the lack of change tables in men's bathrooms and the stigma dads face when asking for flexible work, Michael opens up about the systems that still assume mums are the default parent. In this episode, you will learn: - Why working mums burn out when fathers are treated as “optional” parents - The hidden “fatherhood forfeit” and what dads miss when work comes first - Why men are more likely to have flexible work requests denied - How unequal parenting starts in the newborn stage - Why fathers need more parental leave and support - How workplaces can better support dads and working families - Why sharing the mental load at home is critical for gender equality If you are a new mum, returning to work after maternity leave, or feeling like you are carrying too much at home, this episode will make you feel seen, and remind you that you were never meant to do it all alone.   Connect with Michael: Connect with Michael on LinkedIn  Check out Michael's website  Connect with Carina and Working Mumma  Follow on Instagram  Follow Working Mumma podcast on Instagram Connect with Carina on LinkedIn Subscribe to the newsletter
