Kad sporta zinātniece, fizioloģe un asociētā profesore Līga Plakane stāsta par 8000 metru augstumu, par alpīnistu, kuru viena glāba 7500 metru augstumā, vai 170 kilometru skrējienu apkārt Monblānam, viņa stāsta par savu robežu iepazīšanu.Tā ir saruna par spēju saprast savu ķermeni robežsituācijās - kā ķermenis signalizē, ka ir par daudz un kad vēl vari. Kā atjaunošanās var izrādīties svarīgāka par kārtējo treniņu. Kāpēc tas, kas garšo ikdienā, kalnos izraisa pretestību.Līga ir zinātniece, kas teoriju pilnveido praksē – no Siguldas trepēm līdz Himalaju virsotnēm. Viņa ir mamma, kas bērnus ņēma līdzi uz kalniem. Viņa ir pirmā Baltijas sieviete, kas uzkāpa 8000-nieka virsotnē bez skābekļa un bez ārēja atbalsta.Vērtīgākais šajā sarunā ir Līgas spēja izskaidrot, kā ķermenis strādā robežsituācijās. Kāpēc šokolāde kalnos negaršo, bet kefīrs ir glābiņš pēc treniņa. Kāpēc zarnas sāp, kad skrien, bet ne, kad slēpo. Kā atpazīt atšķirību starp "vēl varu" un "jau par daudz". Kā pieņemt pareizos lēmumus brīžos, kad uz spēles ir drošība un nākotne.Šī saruna ir gan dīvāna mīļiem, gan tiem, kas jau trenējas ar augstām ambīcijām. Jo Līga runā par to, kas apvieno visus – par ķermeni, kas visu laiku cenšas mums kaut ko pateikt. Mums tikai jāiemācās klausīties.Šo epizodi filmējām Power-Up SPACE Rīgas centrā. Te ir viss, kas nepieciešams – moderni aprīkotas studijas un arī daudzpusīgas telpas pasākumiem, kur rīkot apmācības, prezentācijas, filmu vakarus un pat konferences ar skaistu skatu uz Rīgu.

In this conversation with Dr Erin Bowe, we talk about what happens when women in their 30s and 40s reach the point where they can’t keep pretending "everything’s fine". We explore the rise in late ADHD and autism diagnoses, the emotional toll of constantly holding it together, and what it means to finally step out from behind the mask.Dr Erin shares her insights as a clinical psychologist, author, and business coach, helping women understand the link between overwhelm, trauma, and the deep need to feel safe enough to be themselves.This episode is for every woman who’s ever wondered why she can’t keep up the way she used to- and for the woman who knows it’s time to rebuild her life in a way that feels real.

Kod esi drupeit atsapyuts, golva ir breivuoka, otkon, es smejūs, ka „tarakani sīvītis golvā nikod navar dzeivuot bez dorba” – itū citatu maņ pasaceja keramike Maija Gailuma, i es piļneigi pīkreitu. Tod suocās rūseiba otkon ar jaunom idejom. Vīna ideja pīvalk ūtru. Tu sateic īdvesmojūšus cylvākus, īraugi koč kū skaistu, īsadvesmoj i gribi koč kū skaistu eistynuot.

Welcome back to The Psychology Mama'sToday, we're diving into something that so many mothers quietly carry, the kind of exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix. The kind that seeps into your bones and makes you feel like you're disappearing inside the love you're giving.We're talking about burnout in motherhood what happens when the endless giving, caring, and emotional holding start to empty you out.And here's the truth: it's not because you're not resilient enough, or grateful enough, or organised enough. It's because you're human, living in a world that doesn't hold mothers the way mothers hold everyone else.We'll explore what burnout actually is, how it's different from postnatal depression and why it's not something you can fix with more “self-care.”Because burnout isn't just about stress, it's about disconnection. Disconnection from support, from rest, and often, from your own sense of self.So if you've ever found yourself thinking, “I love my child so much, why do I still feel so flat, so depleted, so alone?”This episode is for you.You can find more of us here: Our Online Psychology practice: Did you know we have online appointments available with our amazing therapists Lisa or Maddie.

For many families, income plunges and poverty spikes right before a child is born and remains high throughout the first year. Datshiane Navanayagam talks to doctors in Kenya and the US about the positive impact of giving cash to pregnant women and new mothers.Dr Mona Hanna is a paediatrician, professor, public health advocate and director of the Michigan State University-Hurley Children's Hospital Paediatric Public Health Initiative. Mona also runs Rx Kids in Flint, Michigan and across the state, it is the first community-wide programme in the US designed to address poverty as a root cause of health disparities through the provision of unconditional cash allowances to pregnant and new mothers.Dr Miriam Laker-Oketta is the Senior Research Advisor at GiveDirectly, a non-profit that lets donors send money directly to the world's poorest people, no strings attached. Born and raised in Uganda, she initially trained and worked as an infectious diseases doctor. However, after becoming increasingly frustrated by her patients' late-stage disease presentations and their inability to afford basic medication and meet essential needs due to poverty, Miriam transitioned from medicine to direct cash aid.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Dr Mona Hanna credit Rx Kids.

Septembra beigās Latvijā risinājās sociālā akcija cilvēku ar invaliditāti atbalstam „Dažādo kurpju diena”. Par akcijas mērķiem un vai tos izdevies sasniegt, spriežam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot.  Interesējamies, kādas ir darba iespējas cilvēkiem ar kādiem autiskā spektra traucējumiem, kāds ir valsts sniegtais atbalsts, cik ļoti pašmāju uzņēmumi ir iekļaujoši un kas būtu uzlabojams?  Sarunājas invalīdu un viņu draugu apvienības "Apeirons" valdes priekšsēdētājs Ivars Balodis, "Reitan Conveniece Latvia" personāla departamenta direktore Ineta Vēze un SEB Bankas personāldaļas vadītāja Anita Segliņa. Pieredzē dalās Santa Beitāne. Viņa izveidojusi sociālo uzņēmumu "Mobilizing", kurā gan māca nedzirdīgus cilvēkus braukt ar automašīnu, gan cilvēkiem ar invaliditāti organizē ekskursijas. Viņa savu darbu raksturo īsi - tas ir mans sirdsdarbs. "Dažādo kurpju diena ir aicinājums ikvienam pievērst uzmanību cilvēku invaliditāti izaicinājumiem dzīvē un uzvilkt savādākas kurpes, iekāpt otra kurpēs, pastaigāties un mēģināt saprast, kā tas ir - būt savādākam, redzēt savādāk, sajust to, kā tas ir, kad uz tevi skatās," atklāj Ivars Balodis. "Droši vien slepenais mērķis ir tāds, ka mēs ne tikai mēģinām tās kurpes uzvilkt, bet mēģinām arī saprast kaut ko, izmainīt kaut ko un ar savu attieksmi parādīt to, ja mēs ļoti daudzus procesus nevaram izmainīt un ietekmēt, tad savu attieksmi mēs varam mainīt. Pamainot savu attieksmi, mēs varam izdarīt tā, lai cilvēki ar invaliditāti Latvijā justos labāk, piedāvāt kādas darba iespējas, piedāvāt viņiem būt kopā ar mums un pašiem būt neatkarīgiem, patstāvīgiem, brīviem." Viņš arī atzīst, ka šogad Dažādo kurpju dienā gājis interesanti un bijuši dažādi vērojumi. Jā, cilvēki bijuši atsaucīgi, apāvuši dažādas kurpes un publicējuši bildes sociālajos medijos, bet uz ielas cilvēki dažādās kurpēs nebija īpaši redzami.  "Mani kolēģi kolēģi devās ielās un ar šādām kurpēm brauca vilcienos, tramvajos un saņēma ļoti daudz nosodošu skatienu," atklāt Ivars Balodis. Tajā pašā laikā viņš uzteic kādu ēdināšanas uzņēmumu, kura reklāmu pamanījis, kas piedāvājis atlaidi tieši 27. septembrī, ja apmeklētājs būs dažādās kurpēs. "Latvijā ļoti pietrūkst pozitīvas kampaņas, kur mēs stāstām par cilvēkiem savādākā griezumā, savādākā skatījumā. Mums ir brīnišķīgas kampaņas, kur mēs vācam naudu pirms Ziemassvētkiem, Lieldienām, bet tās nevar būt vienīgās. Ja tās ir vienīgās, tad pamazām nosēžas zemapziņā, ka ģimenes ir bēdīgas, nabadzīgas, nevar nopirkt neko. Jābūt arī kampaņām, kur mēs redzam, ka cilvēki dzīvo brīnišķīgu dzīvi - viņi lasa, viņi priecājas, viņi dzer kafiju, viņi iet uz banku un tērē naudu kaut kur, viņi pērk drēbes, viņi ir sabiedrībā. Ja mēs pamainām savu domāšanu, arī ar saviem darbiem pastiprinām to visu, tad mēs tos cilvēkus ieraugām. Cik dažāda, krāsaina dzīve paliek!" analizē Ivars Balodis.

Latviešu zinātniece Inta Gribonika pēta cilvēka ādas spēju funkcionēt kā aizsargbarjerai ar savu īpašo imunitāti. Viņas pētījumi apliecina, ka āda ir kas vairāk par robežu starp mūsu iekšējiem orgāniem un ārējo pasauli.  Diendienā spītējot mūsu apkārtējai videi, laikapstākļiem un dažkārt mūsu pašu rīcībai, āda centīgi sargā mūs no apkārtējas pasaules un kalpo par mūsu ķermeņa imunitātes vairogu. Talkā tai nāk dažādi vēlami mikroorganismi, apturot infekciju pirms tā tikusi tālāk organismā. Kādā veidā āda mūs sargā ikdienā, skaidro mikrobioloģe, Lundas universitātes pētniece Gribonika un dermatoloģe, Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Dermatoloģijas un veneroloģijas katedras vadītāja un docente Elga Bataraga. Ir dzirdēts, ja ātri dzīst kāds skrāpējums, tad ir laba imunitāte. Vai tas ir mīts vai patiesība, vai varam mērīt savu imunitāti, skatoties uz to, cik ātri vai lēni mūsu brūces pazūd? "Brūces ir ļoti dažādas. Dažkārt ir pat imūnās šūnas, kurām vajadzētu mūs pasargāt. Ja imūnsistēma nestrādā kārtīgi, tad imūnās šūnas var padarīt brūci vēl sāpīgāku un dzīšanas procesu vēl daudzkārt grūtāku. Es gluži nevilktu paralēles," atzīst Inta Gribonika. "Brūču dzīšanā bieži vien ir ļoti svarīgs arī kopējais veselības stāvoklis, vecums noteikti. Bieži vien jāskatās, vai nav vitamīnu vai kādu citu vielu deficīts, kas to var ietekmēt. Tiešu vienādības zīmi būtu grūti likt. Protams, citādi veselam cilvēkam mēs gaidītu, ka dzīšanas procesi būs ātrāki, bet tā arī reizēm mūsu audi mēdz izveidot tādus rētaudus, kas negribēti aktīvāki," skaidro Elga Bataraga. "Hipertrofiska rēta "draudzīgāka" pacientam, bet keloīdu rētas, kad audi ir aktīvāki, nekā mēs gribētu un savā veidā ietver specifisku iekaisumu, to biežāk var redzēt jauniem cilvēkiem, arī kādam bērniņam. Arī savā praksē man diemžēl ir bērniņi, kuriem pēc kaut kādām noteiktām medicīniskām manipulācijām āda nevis vienkārši sadzīst, bet izveido šādu negribētu, cietu, sāpīgu rētaudu sakopojumu. Mums gribētos domāt, jo jaunāks, jo veselāks, ar labāku, aktīvāku imūno sistēmu. Bet ne vienmēr," turpina Elga Bataraga. Atbildot uz jautājumu, vai var pateikt, kurā vecuma posmā ādas imunitāte ir visspēcīgākā, Elga Bataraga skaidro, ka līdzīgi kā ar dažādiem vīrusiem, ko izslimo bērni mazā vecumā, arī ādai ir raksturīgas dažādas vīrusa infekcijas, un bērniem ir vieglāk ar tām inficēties nekā pieaugušajiem.  "Arī āda ir var kādu laiku, nu tīri no tāda imunitātes viedokļa mācīties, un tad varbūt pieaugušā vecumā mēs esam pret daudz ko noturīgāki, ar pieredzi nekā agrīnākā vecumā. Bet man būtu arī grūti uzstādīt tādu vienu ideālo vecumu," atzīst Elga Bataraga. "Protams, mēs vienmēr runājam arī par noteiktām ādas novecošanās īpatnībām, un imunitāte arī ādā vēlākā vecumā samazinās. Vienu ideālāko vecuma grupu man laikam būtu grūti nosaukt. Droši vien, jāņem kaut kāds vidusposms, kad mūsu āda ir gana gudra, bet vēl nav sagurusi." Zinātnes ziņas Zinātnieki beidzot izskaidro, kāpēc grūtniecēm ir rīta nelabums. Saskaņā ar Nacionālo veselības institūtu datiem, ar nelabumu saskaras līdz pat 80% agrīnās stadijas grūtnieču. Bet - pat ja tās šķiet kā mocības, rīta nelabums varētu būt evolūcijas gudrs paņēmiens, lai aizsargātu gan pašas mātes, gan mazuļus.  Vietnē “Live Science” skaidrots, kāpēc zāles, ko lietojam slimošanas laikā, vairumā gadījumu ir negaršīgas. Veikts arī līdz šim lielākais pētījums, kurā analizēta tādu faktoru kā higiēnas un reibuma pakāpes ietekme uz odu maltītes izvēli, proti, vai odiem varētu būt īpaša vēlme pamieloties ar to cilvēku asinīm, kuri vairāk patērē alkoholu. Maldugunis purvā izraisa dīvaina ķīmiska reakcija. Publicēts jauns starptautiskas pētnieku komandas raksts: aizdegšanās avots varētu būt mikrozibens jeb sīkas, spontānas elektrības dzirksteles, kas rodas ūdens pilienu virsmu lādiņu atšķirību dēļ.

No empātijas līdz apātijai ir viens solis, tā varētu teikt par kādu interesantu fenomenu, ko dažkārt redzam sabiedrībā. Kad kāds garāmgājējs nonāk nelaimē, mēs steidzamies palīgā, ja apkārt nav citu cilvēku. Kolīdz šāda situācija notiek pūlī, reakcija palīdzēt kavējas. Psiholoģijā to dēvē par garāmgājēja efektu. Kāpēc tā rīkojamies? Kas noteiks to, vai būsim empātiski vai apātiski? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Latvijas Univerisitātes profesors, sociālās psiholoģijas un politikas psiholoģijas pētnieks Ģirts Dimdiņš. Par to, cik atsaucīgi esam vai neesam, ziņojot par kādiem notikumiem, aicinot palīgā, ja kāds nonācis nelaimē, vaicājam Valsts policijas Rīgas reģiona pārvaldes Rīgas Austrumu pārvaldes Kriminālpolicijas biroja 2. nodaļas priekšnieka vietnieci Nadeždu Griņeviču. "Protams, mūsu personībai ir nozīme, un daži cilvēki pēc dabas ir palīdzošāki, altruistiskāki, empātiskāki, bet noteikti būtu liela kļūda reducēt to, vai cilvēki palīdz ārkārtas situācijās, uz rakstura īpašībām, vēl jo vairāk tikai uz empātiju vai altruismu," norāda Ģirts Dimdiņš. Pētnieks skaidro, palīdzēšana - nepalīdzēšana ir pētīta sistemātiski un daudz jau kopš pagājušā gadsimta 60. gadiem, un pētījumi kopumā ir izkristalizējuši piecus galvenos soļus, lai cilvēki palīdzētu ārkārtas situācijās citiem. Liela loma ir situācijai un dažādām apstākļu sakritībām. "Pirmkārt, mums ir jāpamana ārkārtas situācija, lai rastos interese vai vajadzība palīdzēt vai mēs par domātu par to, vai mums kādam ir jāpalīdz. Otrkārt, mums ir jāinterpretē tā ārkārtas situācija kā ārkārtas situācija. (..) Treškārt, mums ir jāuzņemas atbildība. Un šeit parādās klasiskais saucamais pasīvā novērotāja efekts, jo vairāk ir vēl citu liecinieku bez mums, jo mazāka varbūtība, ka mēs būsim tie, kuri pieslēgsies, mēģinās kaut ko darīt," skaidro Ģirts Dimdiņš. "(..) Mums ir arī jābūt spējīgiem, kompetentiem palīdzēt pat tad, ja mēs saprotam, jā, man būtu jāpalīdz šajā situācijā, bet jautājums, vai es to varu? Paņemt telefonu un piezvanīt mēs varbūt visi varam, bet ja ir jālec ūdenī un kāds jāvelk ārā, vai jāskrien degošā mājā, vai jāiesaistās fiziskā konfliktā, tur jau ir pilnīgi cits jautājums un citi apsvērumi. Ar to viss vēl nebeidzas, jo ir piektais solis, kas ir mūsu racionālā analīze. Vai, ja es iesaistīšos, tās izmaksas nebūs pārāk augstas, salīdzinot ar iespējamiem ieguvumiem neiesaistoties vai arī izmaksām, kas notiks tad, ja neiesaistīšos tajā situācijā. Tātad vienmēr pēdējais solis vēl ir tāda tīri ekonomiski racionāla analīze." "Ir jābūt noteiktām personības iezīmju kombinācijām, lai cilvēks izvēlētos aizturēt likumpārkāpēju ar kaut kādu risku sev. To biežāk dara vīrieši," analizē Ģirts Dimdiņš. "Kur ir vajadzīgā drosmes, fiziskā spēka demonstrēšana, tur biežāk iesaistās iesaistās tieši vīrieši. Tur atkal parādās tas aspekts, ja ir, piemēram, pēc dzimuma homogēna novērotāju grupa, piemēram, ārkārtas situācijai ir pieci liecinieki vīrieši, tad ir lielāka varbūtība, ka viens no viņiem iesaistīsies ārkārtas situācijā, nekā tad, ja tā ir miksēta grupa. Atkal varētu būt tāpēc, ka gribās nodemonstrēt, kurš ir spēcīgāks barā, vai arī ir paļaušanās, ka citi nāks palīgā, ja vajadzēs." -- Bet par grāmatām savā grāmatplauktā, kas saistītas ar šī raidījuma sarunas tēmu, stāsta raidījuma autores Sandra Kropa un Paula Gulbinska. Viņu izvēle - Dexter Dias "10 types of human" (Desmit cilvēku tipi) un Cathy O'Neil "Weapons of Math Destruction" (Matemātikas iznīcināšanas ieroči).

Noslēgusies Pasaules brīvo latviešu apvienības (PBLA) valdes sēde, kas pulcēja pārstāvjus no visiem kontinentiem. Raidījumā Globālais latvietis. 21. gadsimts skaidrojam, kādas ir svarīgākās aktualitātes latviešiem visā pasaulē un kādi darbības virzieni aktuāli organizācijai ar septiņdesmit gadu vēsturi? Kā vienā radio studijā ietilpināt teju visu pasauli? Izrādās, tas raidījumā Globālais latvietis. 21. gadsimts ir vienkāršāk par vienkāršu. Mums tikai ciemos ir jāuzaicina Pasaules brīvo latviešu apvienības (PBLA) valdes pārstāvji, un tā lieta ir darīta. Pagājušās nedēļas otrajā pusē, no 24. līdz 26. septembrim, Latvijas Nacionālajā bibliotēkā strādāja Pasaules brīvo latviešu apvienības valdes pārstāvji, jo ikgadējā rudens sesija ir aizvadīta Latvijā, un tā pulcē latviešus teju no visiem kontinentiem. Noslēdzoties tādam ražīgam darba posmam, studijā esam aicinājuši daļu no PBLA valdes, lai raidījumam atvēlētajā laikā atklātu, kādas ir šī brīža aktualitātes latviešiem visā pasaulē, kuri ir svarīgākie darbības virzieni organizācijai ar 70 gadu stāžu. Sarunājas Pasaules brīvo latviešu apvienības valdes priekšsēdis Pēteris Blumbergs no ASV, Pasaules brīvo latviešu apvienības valdes priekšsēža vietniece Mārīte Kļaviņa no Vācijas, Latviešu nacionālās apvienības Kanādā priekšsēdētāja vietniece Ingrīda Zemīte un Latviešu apvienības Austrālijā un Jaunzēlandē jaunatnes nodaļas vadītāja Ingrīda Dārziņa. 1955. gada 5. martā latvieši Amerikā, tātad Amerikas latviešu apvienība, pieņēma lēmumu, ka vajag apvienību, kurā būtu visi pasaules latvieši apvienoti, un pēc tam 1956. gada februārī apvienojās vairākas organizācijas, izveidojot Pasaules brīvo latviešu apvienību. Sekoja darbs pie statūtiem. Šobrīd PBLA apvieno latviešus Eiropā, Kanādā, Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs, Austrālijā un Dienvidamerikā. Šo reģionu organizācijas ir tās, kas darbojas Pasaules brīvo latviešu apvienībā. 

As home-based early childcare picks up in popularity, Barnardos-employed mother and daughter duo Iman and Hanin Taqieh speak about how it helped change their lives as new mums. Making shifts in their careers to become homebased educators was a decision that gave them flexibility and purpose after their family moved here from Jordan. Hanin Taqieh is community coordinator with Barnardos where she leads the home-based portfolio supporting over 40 home-based educators in Auckland – including her own mum Iman, who's herself, been with Barnardos for twenty years as an educator. In this episode - what's the incentive, both for parents and educators? Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Pilna spektra gaismas lampas interneta veikalos ir pieejamas cik uziet. Lielākoties tās piedāvā augu audzēšanai, nevis cilvēka mājokļa apgaismošanai. Kāpēc cilvēkiem nepieciešama pilna spektra gaisma, interesējamies raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Skaidro oftalmoloģe Anda Balgalve un gaismas un cirkadiāno ritmu pētniece Baiba Bieļa. Klausītājs jautā, vai, esot telpā ar seju pret plaši atvērtu logu, var saņemt pilnu spektra gaismu ziemā? "Tas pat ir ļoti ieteicams, jo tad mēs saņemam gan to nepieciešamo luksu daudzumu, gan pilnu spektru, gan arī ķermenis saprot, kādus gadalaiks," skaidro Baiba Bieļa. "Ķermenim ir jāsinhronizējas ar ārējo vidi, ar temperatūru, ar gaismu, lai saprot, kāds ir gadalaiks, jo mēs pavadām laiku iekštelpu klimatā un īsti nepiedzīvoju ne gaismas, ne temperatūras svārstības, kas būtu nepieciešamas." Protams, labāk iet ārā no telpām. Runājot par saulesbrillēm, Anda Anda Balgalve mudina tās neizmantot, ja acis ir veselas un nav kādi īpaši apstākļi, piemēram, augstu kalnos. Viņa arī min, ka jebkuru optisko briļļu materiāls sargā no ultravioletā starojuma. "Protams, ja braucam pie stūres, satiksmes drošība, [liekam saulesbrilles], bet acu jutīgums mums ir arī tāpēc, ka mēs nepiedzīvojam gaismas spektra pārmaiņas no rīta līdz vakaram. Acīm tieši ir nepieciešama tā rīta daļa, kad ir infrasarkanais spektrs un tās spektra pāreja, un arī gaismas spilgtums, kas pa dienu palielinās, tas arī ir kā acs trenažieris. Mēs ejam zāli, muskuļus trenājam, bet asc ir jātrenē tāpat, un viņu trenē tās gaismas spektra pārejas. Tad arī zūd problēma ar acu jutīgumu, par redzes atjaunošanu, ko Londonas universitātē pēta. Tā infrasarkanā daļa mums ir deficīts, jo mēs esam visu laiku telpās, un tas infrasarkanais spektrs ir visu dienu. Viņš tā kā pretdarbojas tam zilā un UV nodarītajiem kaitējumam, veic tādu atpakaļuzlādi šūnu mitohondroju līmenī. Izstrādājas šūnu melatonīns ne tikai miega melatonīns," skaidro Baiba Bieļa. Viņa mudina rītos cilvēkus, kas dodas sportot, nelietot saulesbrilles. Tieši tad vajadzētu saulesbrilles noņemt, jo rīta pirmā stunda ir bez UV spektra, saule nav tik augstu.   Viskaitīgākais ir uzlikt nekvalitatīvas saulesbrilles, kas neaizsargā no UV starojuma. "Par UV spektru varbūt nedzirdēta lieta ir tā, ka acī sākas dopamīna sintēze," bilst Baiba Bieļa. "Mēs patiesībā esam radīti, lai būtu zilās gaismas "narkomāni", un tas ir arī viens no iemesliem, kāpēc arī mums patīk sauļoties. Piemēram, bērniem patīk gaismas stimuls, patīk kustīgs attēls. Tāpēc mums arī patīk tehnoloģijas, mums ir gan garīgi stimulējoša, gan fizioloģiski stimulējoša šī zilās gaismas iedarbība uz visu dopamīna sistēmu. Mums patīk."  

Vakar, 22. septembrī, Ziemeļu puslodē sākās astronomiskais rudens. Bet no Ziemeļpola ar katru dienu arvien plašāk izplešas tumsa. Ir sākusies polārā nakts. Pie mums dabā rudens iestājas tik pakāpeniski, ka par to runājam jau kopš augusta otras puses. Atšķirībā no mūsu platuma grādiem, kur astronomisko gadalaiku robeža dabā faktiski nav ne jūtama, ne saredzama, Arktikā izmaiņas ir daudz straujākas un tur, runājot par pavisam tāliem ziemeļiem vēl aiz polārā loka, šajās dienās iestājas nakts. Sākumā tiešām tikai ap pašu Ziemeļpolu, bet jo dienas, jo tumsa izplešas tālāk uz dienvidiem. Tur dabā faktiski nav četru gadalaiku – drīzāk ir tikai ziema un vasara vai diena un nakts. Un šajās dienās Arktikā beidzas kušanas sezona, kad Ziemeļu ledus okeāna ledus atkal sāks pieņemties apjomā. Cilvēkiem šķiet, ka aiz Polārā lokā kā izslēdz gaismu ap šo laiku, tā tikai martā, kad ir pavasara ekvinokcija, atkal ieslēdz. Tā gluži nav. Šodien, 23. septembrī, polārā nakts iestājas tikai nelielā aplītī ap pašu Ziemeļpolu. Citviet Arktikā dienas ir īsas un ļoti strauji kļūst īsākas, bet tur vēl nav polārā nakts. Ja pie mums dienas garuns sarūk pa 3-5 minūtēm, tur pa 10-20 minūtēm un pat pusstundu. Piemēram, Svalbārā, kas ir aptuveni 80. paralēle, kas ir krietni aiz polārā loka, polārā nakts iestāsies tikai aptuveni pēc mēneša un tā ilgs četrus mēnešus. Tas nozīmē, ka saule sāks virs apvāršņa parādīties jau februāra otrajā pusē. Savukārt vēl tālāk uz dienvidiem pie 70. paralēles, kur jau ir Norvēģijas kontinetālā daļa, apmēram, kur ir Tromse, polārā nakts ilgst aptuveni divus mēnešus, bet tieši uz polārā loka, kas ir 66,5 grādu paralēli, nakts ir tikai vienu diennakti - ziemas saulgriežos. Tātad pusgadu gara nakts ir tikai Ziemeļpolā.  Neraugoties uz to, protams, no saules saņemtais siltums pēc rudens ekvinokcijas ir tik niecīgs, ka gaisa temperatūru vairs ļoti būtiski nespēj ietekmēt, to šajā gada daļā nosaka gaisa masu plūsmas, tādēļ arī aiz polārā loka, kad ir iestājusies tumsa, temperatūra tāpat mainās - ir aukstāki periodi un ir siltāki. Bieži mēdz būt tā, ka Skandināvijas pašos ziemeļos ziemas vidū ir kāda diena, kas ir siltāka, nekā pie mums, jo tur ir aizplūdusi kāda silta gaisa masas no Atlantijas okeāna.

Welcome back to Parenting Out Loud where we've got a brand new episode to start your weekend off right. On the show this week: The rise of the stealth mum. From Margot Robbie's press tour to your work colleague who's never mentioned having kids, we're exploring why hiding motherhood has become the new cultural currency. Plus, praising your child is a fraught business. Do you compliment their efforts, their appearance, their creations? Perhaps millennial parents are overthinking things... again. We discuss. And, there's a tiny internet feud happening on Facebook that we need to talk about. Plus, our recommendations:

Hello there!!  Welcome to Alberts bookshelf.  We hope you enjoy listening to Our Kid one of Alberts favourite books.Thanks for Listening.

At Honeymoon Acres in New Holstein, the greenhouse is more than a place for plants; it’s a story of family, hard work, and a dream that quite literally grew from the ground up. Joe and Marci McShaw started their business more than 40 years ago with just $5 and a single 1,000-square-foot greenhouse. Today, Honeymoon Acres has blossomed into what many call “plant heaven,” drawing visitors from across Wisconsin for its vast selection. While most people think of greenhouses in the spring, the fall season is just as vibrant here, with 37,000 chrysanthemums stealing the show. For the McShaws, what began as persistence, know-how, and a lot of dirt under their nails has become an agricultural tourism destination that continues to grow season after season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever been told your baby is “broken” because they don't sleep through the night, you're not alone. So many mums feel pressured by rigid schedules, conflicting advice, and the constant comparison game. But here's the truth: babies aren't meant to sleep like adults, and understanding their natural biology can make a world of difference for both you and your little one.In this episode, Dr Renee White sits down with Professor Helen L. Ball, Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Durham Infancy & Sleep Centre. Helen has spent decades researching infant sleep and is the founder of the Baby Sleep Information Source (BASIS). Her work bridges the gap between science and parenting, offering evidence-based guidance that supports both parents and health professionals.Together, Renee and Helen explore the realities of baby sleep, challenge outdated myths, and share practical ways you can feel more confident (and more rested).You'll hear about:The origins of strict baby sleep schedules – and why they don't align with infant biology.Safe bedsharing and breastfeeding – what the research actually shows.Swaddling myths – how it impacts arousal, feeding, and safety.Recognising when sleep struggles might signal something else – and when to seek help.Practical strategies you can try tonight to harmonise your rest with your baby's natural rhythms.Whether you're a first-time mum trying to navigate newborn nights or a parent feeling burnt out by sleep advice that just doesn't work for your family, this conversation is here to bring you clarity, reassurance, and some much-needed perspective. You're not doing it wrong. Your baby isn't broken. And you are most certainly not alone.✨ Subscribe, share with a friend, and remember: the more we spread evidence-based knowledge, the more we can support every mum to feel confident and cared for.Resources and Links:

"What A Joke Of A Mother, Teaching Her Kids To Be Woke".... On this episode, listeners get very angry with Dublin mum Vanessa, who came on air to say that she won't let her kids go to McDonalds over their links to Israel. And she also told her young children about the Genocide in Gaza

In this encore episode of Down the Garden Path, Joanne shares tips for choosing fall mums and asters. Topics covered in this week's episode: Chrysanthemums, many horticultural varieties and cultivars exist including tender florist mums (a favourite of mine because of how long they stay blooming in a vase). Or Garden mums, more commonly known as fall mums. All Chrysanthemums are native to East Asia and Northeastern Europe. They became popular in North American gardening during the early to mid-20th century. Overall, fall or autumn gardening in the U.S. became particularly prominent in the 1950s and 1960s. Their popularity grew thanks to their vibrant colours of mums—ranging from deep reds and oranges to yellows and purples—this made them a popular choice for fall displays. Their ability to bloom late into the season and withstand cooler temperatures also contributed to their popularity in autumn gardening. Fall mums grown for our gardens are fertilized and pruned heavily to maintain their dense growth while in containers. It is possible to overwinter them in the garden but without regular maintenance, they can get quite large (tall and wide over a season or two). You often hear of gardeners or articles mentioning mid-summer to cut back or pinch back the foliage on garden mums that are being grown in the garden to slow down their growth and size. If growing in the garden, they benefit from mulching to protect them from the freeze and thaw most of us experience in our Ontario gardens or gardens in zones 4-6. They can be prone to spider mites and aphids as well as powdery mildew. Mildew especially if they are allowed to get large in the garden and then crowd with other plants and especially when there is high humidity and/or overhead watering. The downside of mums: As a designer, my goal is to create gardens that are all season with something happening at all times and for there really not be a need for high-maintenance annuals. I do realize that there are times and places in the yard where one might want a pop of colour -- even me! Potted mums perform much better in cooler temperatures. Unfortunately, garden centres seem to start selling them earlier and earlier each season. They are thirsty plants when in pots, especially in the heat. If the pots aren't watered regularly they die very quickly and I think homeowners think they can revive them. Once they have dried out, they are a throwaway plant. Don't get me started on the plastic waste they generate! A better plant option for fall: asters! There are 32 different species of aster in Ontario and over 100 species in North America. There is a place for one in every garden or even a pot if you choose! While some pollinators might visit garden mums for pollen that is where the benefit ends. Asters not only supply pollen for honeybees and native bees, they also feed adult butterflies and we all want more of those in our gardens. They are host plants or over 100 species of caterpillars, nature's bird feeders. Where there are caterpillars, there will be birds! You may be lucky to find New England asters in pots at your big box store. They are transplantable and will overwinter in the garden. In addition to the New England asters, there are several other native varieties that are sold in the perennial section of your garden centres. There is a variety of aster for every garden. New England Asters Symphyotrichum novaeangliae: (purple, light purple) Full to part sun, blooms August to October, moist average soil. Swamp Aster Symphyotrichum puniceum: (purple, light purple) Full to part sun, August to October, wet garden area White Wood Eurybia divaricate: Part shade to full shade, September to October and will grow in a garden from moist to dry. Heart Leaf Aster Symphyotrichum cordifolium: (lavender to light blue) Part shade to full shade, September to October, medium to dry soil Note: It is also recommended to pinch back or cut back asters in June to prevent them from getting too big and floppy.

Salesforce RVP Lauren McGuire has lived the full arc of modern sales leadership. She started as an SDR in California, helped build high-performing BDR teams through hypergrowth and an IPO, jumped into AE management at multiple startups, then relocated to London with two young children to scale regional teams. In this conversation, Lauren opens up about what those chapters really felt like and how she kept her family at the center while growing her career. We talk through the early return to work after maternity leave in the US, the adrenaline of standing up outbound engines from scratch, and the reality of being close to the pulse of a startup when you also have small humans who need dinner at six. Lauren shares how a move to the UK reshaped family logistics, school choices, and the friendships that make a new city feel like home. Lauren breaks down the difference between leading inside a large, established company and the all-hands-on-deck energy of startups, including where exposure to decision making is plentiful and where it is limited. She explains her leadership style, why empathy is a performance tool, and how she aligns coaching moments to each person's long-term goals so the tough days still make sense. We also get practical. Lauren walks us through the weekly rhythm that keeps her household running, the role of an after-school nanny, and the simple agreements that reduce friction at home. There is gym time at 6 a.m., shared calendars, planned meals, and just enough spontaneity on weekends to keep it fun. Her final takeaways are clear. Build a structure that fits your life, protect time for your health, and remember that family wellbeing is the foundation everything else sits on.
