Today on the podcast we chat with the amazing Dr Emma Beckett. This chat blew me away. The knowledge and how Dr Emma imparts it for families is remarkable! The first 1000 days on an infants life, from conception - a child’s second birthday are a time of rapid growth, especially for the gut and immune system. It also lays the building blocks for lifelong health. Dr Emma and I chat about this. We discuss the gold standard of breast feeding, however, for some families that isn’t possible, so we discuss how Mums and Dads can help supplement an infants diet through microbiome and immune development through other means. Infections are one of the most common reason infants are brought in to a health care setting. Supporting gut and immune health through nutrition can help reduce this concern and build long term resilience in little ones. Nurses play a hugely important role in this area. Through guidance and support, we can assist families to navigate feeding issues and concerns. Understanding the science around well-researched formula ingredients, such as prebiotics, helps reassure families that they are caring for their infants in a safe way when it comes to deciding on ways to feed their infants. The prebiotics you need to look for in are formula are the following: Galacto-oligosaccharides Fructo-oligosaccharides Also printed as scGOS/lcFOS These are the most researched prebiotic blend globally. www.tendernessfornurses.com.au www.nutricia.com.au Dr Emma Beckett - Food & Nutrition Scientist Stay Ahead with the Latest in Infant Immunity The first 1,000 days—from conception to age two—are vital for building a strong immune system.

Hello there!!  Welcome to Alberts bookshelf.  We hope you enjoy listening to Ten Minutes To Cuddly Dudley one of Alberts favourite books.Thanks for Listening.

Starptautiskā folkloras festivāla "Baltica" viesu vidū ir folkloras kopa „Siidisõsarõ” no Igaunijas. Tā dibināta 1994.gadā, pulcējot cilvēkus, kuru saknes meklējamas Setomā – kultūrvēsturiskajā novadā Igaunijas dienvidos un Krievijas pierobežā. Kopa uztur senas dziedāšanas tradīcijas, kas pierakstītas vai nodotas no paaudzes paaudzē. Setu daudzbalsīgais „leelo” dziedājums 2009. gadā ierakstīts UNESCO nemateriālās kultūras mantojuma sarakstā. Folkloras kopas dalībnieces satiekam dienas vidū, kad mūzikas namā „Daile” rit koncerta „Vēja vārdi” mēģinājums. Uzrunājam folkloras kopas vadītāju Piretu Tillo, dziedātājas Eriku Sūri un Janu Kallasu. Vispirms Piretai lūdzam izrunāt grupas nosaukumu, kā tas skan setu valodā. Pireta Tillo: Mūsu grupu sauc „Siidi-Susara”, setu valodā tas nozīmē ‘ļoti tuvi draugi'. „Susara” nozīmē ‘māsas', bet „Siidi” ir kā ‘zīda māsas', ja tulkojam angļu valodā. Jā, ļoti tuvi draugi. Pašlaik mēs visas esam no Tallinas vai dzīvojam tās tuvumā, bet mūsu saknes ir Setomā, kas ir Igaunijas dienvidaustrumu daļa, ļoti tuvu Latvijai. Latgalei. Jā, arī Alūksnei. Laima Slava: Cik ilgi jūs jau dziedat kopā? Mums nupat bija jubileja. Mūsu folkloras grupa uz skatuves ir apmēram 30 gadus. Tiekamies divas reizes mēnesī. Mēs neesam profesionāla grupa, esam amatieri. Satiekamies vienkārši tāpēc, lai izklaidētos, lai labi pavadītu laiku. Un tas ir labi, ka cilvēki visā pasaulē mūs var atrast. Jā, mēs darām labāko, ko spējam. Dziesmas, ko dziedam, ir ļoti senas. Mēs dziedam autentisku mūziku, tas nozīmē, ka šīs dziesmas jeb vārdi un melodijas ir vāktas no vecmāmiņu un vecvecmāmiņu pūra, tāpēc mēs vienkārši mācāmies klausoties. Dažas no mums var dziedāt ļoti labi un pat pazīst notis, bet ne visas. Pagājušajā gadā mēs piedalījāmies operā Igaunijā. Tā bija daļēji iestudēta opera, un mūsu koris tur piedalījās. Setu valoda ir līdzīga igauņu vai tomēr cita? Teiksim, tā ir dienvidaustrumu igauņu. Jums Latgalē, Latvijā ir lutci – Ludzas igauņi. Lutcu valoda un setu valoda ir ļoti ļoti līdzīgas. Bet es dzirdēju, ka Latvijā vairs nav lutcu valodas pratēju, taču setu valodu pie mums prot  daudzi. Jā, mēs runājam, kad mums ir mēģinājumi, tad mēs cenšamies runāt setu valodā. Piemēram, es ar mammu runāju setu valodā. Kad es biju bērns, mana vecmāmiņa un vectēvs, mēs pavadījām visas vasaras pie viņiem, un viņi runāja tikai setu valodā, no turienes tad šī valodas prasme. Mēģinājumā dzirdēju divas setu dziesmas – par ko tajās dziedat? Jā, pirmā dziesma bija par dāmām, kuras pamanīja, ka viens soliņš ir salūzis, un viņas gatavojas vākt naudu, lai to salabotu, un tas ir jautri. Tā bija pirmā dziesma, bet otrā, šķiet, ir vienkārši jautrības pēc, lai dejotu. Lai dejotu un parādītu savus skaistos tērpus un sudrabu, lielu sudraba brošu. Lielā sudraba broša liecina, cik turīga esi.  Kopumā ir ne tikai jautras dziesmas, ir arī dažas skumjas un pat stāsti. Piemēram, dziesmas par kāzām, arī, ja kāds ir nomiris, tātad visiem dzīves gadījumiem. Ir daudz darba dziesmu, jo darbs ir garlaicīgs un, to darot, sievas dzied, ir arī dziesmas par dabu. Ja Setu sievietēm gribas kaut ko teikt, viņas parasti izdzied to, ko vēlas sacīt. Vai  jūs dodaties arī uz festivāliem, es domāju ne tikai „Balticu”, bet arī citviet pasaulē? Jā, mēs esam bijušas, es domāju, ka pēdējais bija Baškortostānā, tur notika liels festivāls, bija folkloras grupas no visas pasaules. Esam bijušas Ņujorkā. Ukrainā. Arī Francija. Sibīrijā. Jā, Sibīrijā mēs apmeklējām setus, kas tur dzīvo. Tie ir nesenākie braucieni.

Starptautiskajā folkloras festivālā "Baltica" 27.jūnijā pasniegs Tradicionālās kultūras izcilības balvu folkloras nozarē. Šogad balvu saņems Rikavas pagasta kultūras nama etnogrāfiskais ansamblis "Rikava" Rēzeknes novadā. "Rikava" pērn nosvinēja savu 70 gadu jubileju un tas ir viens no senākajiem etnogrāfiskajiem ansambļiem Latvijā, kā arī vienīgais ansamblis Latvijā, kas veido etnogrāfiskus uzvedumus. Starptautiskajā folkloras festivālā "Baltica" "Rikava" šoreiz plašākai izrādīšanai sagatavojis uzvedumu „Pi azara loba dzeive”, kas ataino un skatītājiem atklās vienu dienu Lubāna zvejnieku dzīvē, bet pie paša etnogrāfiskā ansambļa "Rikava" viesojāmies īsi pirms Starptautiskā folkloras festivāla "Baltica". „Mums ir pierakstītas ap 100 dziesmu – tās, kas ir teiktas, pierakstītas,” stāsta ansambļa vadītāja Aija Dundure. „Tā ka mums tie pieraksti ir, un daudz mūsu pierakstu un citu materiālu ir arī folkloras krātuvē Gaismas pilī. Mums vēl tur ir plašs lauks, ko pētīt.” Ne tikai dziesmas, kas kladēs pierakstītas, šobrīd tiek pētītas un pārmantotas, bet arī īpaši uzvedumi. „Rikava” ir vienīgais ansamblis Latvijā, kas veido etnogrāfiskus uzvedumus, kuros savijas visdažādākie nemateriālā kultūras mantojuma elementi – dziesma, ticējumi, parunas, dažādas godu un gadskārtu ieražas, protams tradicionālais apģērbs un sadzīves priekšmeti ar muzejisku vērtību un protams kulinārais mantojums. Turpina Dundure: „Jā, Latvijā esam vienīgais. Un šī tradīcija iesākās 1958. gadā, kad režisore Marga Tetere bija uz to iedrošinājusi. Jo tas viss mantojums bija dzīvs. Un tā sākās. Pirmais bija lielais kāzu cikls – „aizdzereibas, vaiņuka veišona, kuozas Latgolā”. Un pēc tam bija kristabas, talkas, dažādi sadzīves uzvedumi, godi.” Un to visu sākotnēji etnogrāfiskā ansambļa dalībnieki atrod mantojumā atstātajās burtnīcās. „Mums mantojumā ir vesela kaudzīte. Mēs tās sasienam kopā un saucam par maizes kukulīšiem. Tās ir tādas burtnīciņas. Gan Teicānes, gan Mičules. Kur iekšā ir vecie uzvedumi un tieši tā tradīcija – kā bija, kā dzīvoja, ko darīja, ko pēc kārtas, kāpēc, –kas apvieno to nemateriālo un mutvārdu mantojumu, gan darbarīkus, apģērbu.” Bet, kā stāsta etnogrāfiskā ansambļa dalībnieki, šīs tradīcijas arī paši daudzkārt piedzīvojuši – aitu cirpšanu, kalēja darbus, arī rudzu un siena pļaušanu vai sviesta nīšanu. „Agrāk mēs viens pie otra gājām talkās, īpaši jau kartupeļu talkās, gājām lasīt, tagad arī šī tradīcija izzūd, jo visur ir tehnika. Un, ja kurš rīko to talku, tā tagad ir savādāka nekā tā bija agrāk. Un mēs rādam. Mēs mācamies no vecākiem cilvēkiem paši un rādam jaunākai paaudzei to, kas kādreiz ir bijis,” tradīciju pārmantošanu iezīmē Inese Vērdiņa, kas etnogrāfiskajā ansamblī darbojas vairāk nekā 40 gadus. Kopumā ansamblī  šobrīd darbojas 18 cilvēku – visi vietējie, pat ja dzīvo galvaspilsētā. Jaunākajam dalībniekam Pēterdienā būs divi gadi, bet vecākajam – krietni pāri 80. „Mūsu vide jau ir tā, kas ir dabiskā. Skatuve īsti nav mūsu vide. Ja vajag, tad jā, bet brīvdabas muzejs, Andrupenes lauku sēta, Kolnasāta – tepat mūsu Trasuna muzejs, kur ir, kā es saku, krūmu mala, zaļa zāle, turpat kāds dīķītis, pirtiņa – tā ir mūsu dabiskā vide. Un cilvēku diezgan parasti ir daudz. Sanāk un skatās,” teic Aija Dundure. 27. jūnijā festivālā "Baltica" ansamblim svinīgā ceremonijā tiks pasniegta Tradicionālās kultūras izcilības balva folkloras nozarē. „Balva ir, protams, nozīmīga un svarīga, bet ne tikai mums, bet visa kolektīva darbības garumā. Visus 70 gadus, ko pastāv mūsu kolektīvs, jo, ja nebūtu mums sakņu, nebūtu pēctecības, tāda mantojuma, diez vai mēs to balvu varētu saņemt. Mēs esam turpinātāji,” saka Aija Dundure, kas kolektīvu vada pēdējos 15 gadus. Pie nozīmīgiem etnogrāfiskā ansambļa pamatakmeņu licējiem viņa sauc visus agrākos kolektīva vadītājus: Teklu Ikaunieci, Jāzepu Liepiņu, Teklu Teicāni un Janīnu Mičuli. Bet folkloristu Jāni Rozenbergu sauc par kolektīva krusttēvu – tieši viņš pamudinājis sievas tajā tālajā 1954. gadā ansambli izveidot.

Vasaras saulgriežos, 21. jūnijā, Kultūras un tautas mākslas centrs “Mazā ģilde” un tautas deju ansamblis “Līgo” sadarbībā ar Latvijas Etnogrāfisko brīvdabas muzeju ar siera siešanu, folkloras kopu priekšnesumiem un koncertiem visas dienas garumā vērienīgi svinēs TDA “Līgo” 80 gadu un VPDK “Līgo” 50 gadu jubilejas. Diždienas noslēgumā pirmizrādi piedzīvos horeogrāfa un tautas deju ansambļa "Līgo" mākslinieciskā vadītāja Jāņa Purviņa skatuviskās tautas dejas mistērija “Mēs deviņi bāleliņi”, kuru izdejos visi “Līgo” sastāvu dejotāji. Iestudējums tapis, iedvesmojoties no 2021. gadā izdotā latviešu postfolkloras un folkroka grupas “Iļģi” opusa, latviešu folklorā garākās dziesmas “Mēs deviņi bāleliņi” ieraksta. Šī tautasdziesma latviešu folklorā ir unikāla dziesma – tai ir ļoti daudz dziesmas tekstu un mūzikas variantu, tās izcelsme attiecas uz vissenākajiem vedību dziesmu slāņiem, taču galvenais – tā ir garākā dziesma latviešu folklorā – 65 pantus gara. Sarunā ar Jāni Purviņu - par to, cik svarīga ir koncerta norises vieta, par sakņu spēku ģimenē un ansamblī "Līgo", par ilggadējo sadarbību ar "Iļģiem" un savstarpējo uzticēšanos, par dejotāju paaudzēm, idejas iznēsā­šanu un nobriešanas laiku, par "Mēs deviņi bāleliņi" ieslēpto vēstījumu un gaidāmajiem Skolu jaunatnes Dziesmu un deju svētkiem. Jānis Purviņš: Jau 30 gadus vadu deju ansambli “Līgo”. Interesanti ir tas, ka savus pirmos aptuveni 30 gadus deju ansamblis bija bez nosaukuma, tas bija Arodbiedrību padomes jauniešu deju kolektīvs. Pirmais koncerts notika vasaras saulgriežu laikā Viesturdārzā 1945. gadā, un tad šī ķēdīte veidojās - pirmais koncerts vasaras saulgriežos, pēc kāda laika nosaukums “Līgo”. Man nav informācijas, vai tas ir savstarpēji saistīts vai tāds vārds vienkārši nāca tā laika cilvēkiem. Nu jau 30 gadus arī vadītājs Jānis. Mēs savas skaistās jubilejas arī svinam tieši vasaras saulgriežu laikā, līdz ar to svinēšana sanāk kopīga. Dina Dūdiņa-Kurmiņa: Šogad skaista jubileja - 80 gadi. Jau esat izbraukājuši visu Latviju, un centrālais notikums būs 21. jūnijā Latvijas Etnogrāfiskajā brīvdabas muzejā. Vai arī šai vietai ir kāda nozīme? Tikpat labi varējāt visus sapulcināt kādā arēnā, koncertzālē vai citā brīvdabas estrādē. Mums vienmēr ir bijusi būtiska vide, kurā dejojam. Manuprāt, gan mūsu nosaukums, gan tas, kā mēs to darām, kā dejojam, ir ļoti iederīgs dabiskā vidē. Mums ir bijuši koncerti un īpaši notikumi gan Valātas pilskalnā Kazdangā, gan Piejūras parkā Liepājā. Šajā reizē, manuprāt, jubileja ir gana nozīmīga, lai mēs katram latvietim nozīmīgā vietā varētu šo koncertu dejot, un šoreiz tas ir Latvijas Etnogrāfiskais brīvdabas muzejs. Mēs visu savu jubilejas sezonu svinam caur deju, un pavasara posmā tie bija četri ieskaņu koncerti Latvijas novados. Katram arī dots ļoti simbolisks nosaukums saistībā ar mūsu kulminācijas punktu - no tapšanas uz sēšanu, caur augšanu un plaukšanu līdz ziedēšanai. Kāpēc tieši ziedēšanai? Jo mēs esam kā Līgo pļava - katrs savādāks, katrs no savas Latvijas puses, visi sanākam kopā un esam šī ziedošā pļava, kas uzzied tieši vasaras saulgriežos. Ideja vispirms tapa par vietu un vienu koncertu, un tad, vairākkārt viesojoties Brīvdabas muzejā, nāca atklāsme - kāpēc viens koncerts, ja mēs varam šo dienu izvērst plašumā? Tas nozīmē, ka mēs, “Līgo” dejotāji, šajā dienā dejojam deviņus koncertus dažādos laikos, vakara izskaņā horeogrāfiskā mistērija “Iļģu” opusam “Mēs, deviņi bāleliņi”. Tas ir jau 10. koncerts. Manuprāt, šai dienai ļoti iederīga un piederīga ir arī skaniskā vērtība un iesākšana, iešūpošanās, ielīgošana šajā vasaras saulgriežu dienā ar folkloras kopām jau no plkst. 11:00. Paralēli tam notiks arī interesantas meistarklases - saprotams, ka vainagu pīšana un siera siešana, bet līdzās tam arī pirtsslotu siešana, zāļu paklāju veidošana, pīrāgu cepšana un tamlīdzīgi. Man liekas, ka katrs varēs pēc sajūtām izvēlēties sev piemērotāko veidu, kā pavadīt šo dienu Brīvdabas muzejā.  

Kā sabiedrība izturas pret pacientiem, kuriem ir onkoloģiskas slimības? Vai atbalsts un izpratne ir pietiekama vai tomēr būtiski pietrūkst? Vai un kas būtu jāmaina attieksmē un ko vēl vajadzētu darīt, interesējamies raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Sarunājas Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes (RSU) medicīnas antropologs un politologs Mārtiņš Daugulis un RSU pētījumu datu analītiķe Renāte Grudule. RSU veikts pētījums par to, kā digitālajā vidē cilvēki runā par onkoloģiju. "Pētījumā lūkojāmies uz to, kā Latvijas digitālajā vidē - kas ir sociālie tīkli, arī konvenciālās mājaslapas, viss, kas ir internetā, kā tajā runā par onkoloģiju, par vēzi, par pacientiem. Kas ir tās lielākās šaubas, bažas, trauksmes, kas parādās tieši Latvijas digitālajā vidē," skaidro Mārtiņš Daugulis Šāds pētījums veikts Latvijā, jo ir zinātniski pētījumi pasaulē, kas rāda, ka digitālā vide ievērojami veido sabiedrības priekšstatus. Savukārt sabiedrības priekšstati tieši saistās ar veselības rādītājiem.  "Mēs ieraudzījām saistību gan par attieksmi pret vēzi kā tādu, gan arī caur onkoloģiju attieksmi pret valsti, par lielākajām trauksmēm, kas ir par mūsu veselības sistēmu un tās pārvaldību," norāda Mārtiņš Daugulis. "Droši vien lielākā atziņa, kas būtu, ir tā, ka vēzis Latvijā tiek uztverts un cīņa ar vēzi tiek uztverta kā varoņa ceļš. Tas tiešām prasa milzīgu personīgo ieguldījumu no cilvēka gan no viņa dzīves resursu veidā, gan arī bieži finansiālu resursu ziņā. No vienas puses, mēs ļoti kampaņveidīgi runājam un skatāmies uz to un sabiedrības ir ārkārtīgi solidāra, bet tas notiek kampaņveidīgi un ar tādu lielu uzsvaru, ka tas ir varonis. Ja mēs paraugāmies pēc stāstu veidošanas principiem sabiedrībā, jo mēs visi dzīvojam stāstos un priekšstatos par stāstiem, tur ir liela bīstamība. Tajā brīdī, kad tu esi varoņa ceļā, visa milzīgā slodze tiek uzlikta uz tevi kā uz indivīdu - tev šī cīņa ir jāizcīna, tu nedrīksti normāli ciest vai arī tieši pretēji, tev ir jācieš ļoti eksponēti un jāparāda tas viss sabiedrībai. Visbeidzot, varoņa ceļš, kas ir uzlikts uz pacienta pleciem, īstenībā ļoti ērtā pozīcijā nostāda valsts veselības aprūpes sistēmu un politikas veidotājus. Jo tu tur cīnies, mēs, protams, bāzi nodrošinām tai cīņai; sabiedrība pieslēdzās klāt, kā Sprīdītim palīdzēja arī dažādi no malas, kad viņš savu kauju izcīnīja. Bet beigās tā ir tava lieta.  Šķiet - vai varētu savādāk? Jā. Vēzis un onkoloģiskās saslimšanas, protams, ir smaga un pacientam prasoša saslimšana, bet ar mūsdienīgu pieejamu aprūpi par vēzi sāk runāt aizvien vairāk kā par hronisku slimību. Tajā brīdī, kad mēs viņu laicīgi konstatējam un efektīvi ārstējam, tad mūsdienās rādītāji ir pilnīgi savādāki kā kaut kādos vēsturiskajos priekšstatos. Vēzis nav nāvējoša saslimšana, ja tiek laicīgi konstatēts un adekvāti ārstēts vairums gadījumu. Mums vajadzētu virzīties, lai cik tas izklausītos dīvaini, uz vēža normalizāciju kā tādu, prasot vairāk atbildības tiem, kas varētu mums šos risinājumus dot, - inovatīvas, jaunas zāles, mūsdienīgas terapijas vietas, kur ārstēt, pieejamība. Tas šajā digitālajā telpā atklājas kā virstēmā, bet, protams, arī daudz detalizācijas."

Still the tallest statue in the USA, the Statue of Liberty arrived from France - in no less than 214 crates - in New York City on 17th June, 1885. Costing just $10m in today's money, the Lady went on to symbolise the immigrant journey - even though the designers and engineers behind it had no such intention.

When we think of “mum,” most of us picture warmth, safety, Sunday roasts, On this week's episode of the podcast, we dive deep into the murky waters of motherhood gone mad. We're talking manipulation, mayhem, and maternal crimes so twisted, they've earned these women a spot in the Hall of Infamy. Here's a sneak peek at some of the worst mums of all time.

What if the skills you already use every day could help you build a flexible, well-paid career from home? In this episode of Moms on Cloud Nine, I'm joined by Rachel Green, founder of WOW Moms, to unpack how more women are discovering the freedom and income potential of becoming a Virtual Assistant (VA). Rachel's story is one that will resonate deeply with anyone who's ever felt trapped by inflexible work, underpaid roles, or the impossible juggle between parenting and professional growth. After her daughter was born prematurely, Rachel knew something had to change. She turned her years of experience as a PA into a thriving VA business, matching her corporate income within six months. More importantly, she built a life that allowed her to be present with her children and in control of her own future. That transformation didn't just stop with her. She now helps women around the world earn their first £1K as VAs and scale well beyond it. In this conversation, Rachel shares the real story of how to get started as a VA, from the mindset shift required to build confidence to the practical skills that are most in demand right now. We talk about why niching down can raise your income, how to find your first clients (even if you're introverted), and why resilience is the most underrated business strategy of all. We also explore the different types of VA roles that exist today, whether it's admin, social media, tech, podcast management, or even supporting Salesforce systems. It's not about fitting into a box. It's about recognising the value of the skills you already have and learning how to market them. Are you a mum looking for a way to balance work and family life while securing your financial future? Do you dream of having a more fulfilling career, setting your own schedule, and having the freedom to create the best life for your kids?

Evelyn Weigert wirkt, als würde sich ihr Temperament direkt über ein paar gut verborgene Solarzellen speisen - das ist schon besonders. Nur deshalb schafft sie es wahrscheinlich, als Moderatorin, Autorin und Podcasterin zu arbeiten. Und als Sängerin, gemeinsam mit dem Schauspieler Tom Beck macht sie Country-Musik - und zwar ziemlich gut. Evelyn kam 1988 in Regensburg zur Welt, wo sie in einem Mehrgenerationenhaus aufwuchs und eine ordentliche Portion Liebe mit auf den Weg bekam. Auch, als sie mit 15 beschloss, die Schule zu verlassen. Evelyn absolviert ein Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr, macht im Anschluss daran eine Ausbildung zur Krankenschwester, studiert am Musik-College und besucht schließlich Frank Elsters Masterclass und schnell wird klar: hier sitzt eine Entertainerin. Gebt dieser Frau ein Betätigungsfeld. Und so arbeitete Weigert u.a. für Pro7, RTL und den HR und hostete den höchst erfolgreichen Podcast „Heinlein & Weigert“. Ihr Buch „Peace, Bitches“ wurde ein Bestseller, das jetzt aktuelle „Peace, Mums“ könnte daran anknüpfen. Evelyn lebt mit ihren 2 Töchtern und ihrem amerikanischen Mann Alex, der offenbar hervorragend kocht, in Berlin. Wir sprechen über Sinn und Sinnlosigkeit von Manieren, über Maßlosigkeit und das Essen ihrer geliebten Oma, über guten Griesbrei und sahnige Rahmkartoffeln und: über den langsamen Onkel Hans. *** WERBUNG Toast Hawaii wird unterstützt von dmBio, die Bio-Lebensmittelmarke von dm-drogerie markt.

Jau labu laiku analītiķi, politiķi, žurnālisti un faktiski jebkurš interesents sekojis līdzi tam, kā attīstās situācija Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs pēc Donalda Trampa atkārtotās ievēlēšanas prezidenta amatā. Jaunās pilnvaras Trampam ļāvušas sevi spilgti apliecināt gan ārpolitikā, gan momentāni iedarbināt virkni procesu iekšpolitikā, par ko daļa priecājas, bet daļa ir ārkārtīgi satraukusies. Šo satraukto prātu vidū ir arī zinātnieki. Visai drīz pēc ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa atkārtotas stāšanās amatā tūkstošiem pētnieku ASV pilsētās un arī Eiropā tikušies mītiņos ar saukli "Stand Up for Science" ("Iestājieties par zinātni"). Viņi pauduši protestu ASV administrācijas darbībām, samazinot zinātnisko darbaspēku un izdevumus pētniecībai. Vai ASV administrācija baidās no zinātniekiem un kuras zinātņu nozares varētu ciest visvairāk? Vai tas varētu sekmēt to, ka zinātnieki pamet ASV? Un cik liela zinātnes un akadēmiskā brīvība ir tepat Eiropā? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā diskutē Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Sociālo zinātņu pētniecības centra vadītāja Ieva Puzo, Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta pētnieks, Delavēras universitātes doktorants Toms Rātfelders un Latvijas Universitātes pēcdoktorants, starpdisciplinārs matemātiķis, Latvijas Universitātes Klīniskās un profilaktiskās medicīnas institūta pētnieks Jānis Lazovskis. Dienā, kad skan raidījums, kļuva zināms, ka ASV varas iestādes apturējušas studentu vīzu noformēšanu. Visiem trim sarunas dalībniekiem ir pieredze saistībā ar darbu vai mācībām ASV. Ieva Puzo ir ieguvusi maģistra grādu Kalifornijas universitātē Berklijā, Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs un pēc tam arī doktora grādu Pitsburgas universitātē. 2017. gadā viņa atgriezās Latvijā un uzsāka darbu Rīgas Stradiņa universitātē. "Sajūtas ir ļoti dažādas šobrīd, bet galvenokārt milzīga nožēla par to potenciālo, tām trakajām lietām, kas jau ir sākušās un kas vēl varētu arī notikt zinātnes vidē Amerikas Savienotajās Valstīs. Arī tāpēc, ka Pitsburgas universitāte, kur ieguvu doktora grādu, bija pirmā, kas šī gada sākumā paziņoja, ka šogad neuzņems doktorantūras studentus. Tai sekoja vēl citas. Bet tā bija tāda pirmā skaļāka zīme arī man, kas parādīja, kā procesi mainās, universitātes ļoti sāks pielāgoties. Tās lietas, ko mēs iepriekš tvērām kā pašsaprotamas, domājot par akadēmisko brīvību visdažādākajās tās izpratnēs, par kaut kādu institūciju attiecībām ar štatiem, ar federālo varu ASV, ka tās patiešām ļoti krasi mainīsies un noteikti ietekmēs arī to, kā vispār zināšanas tiek radītas ASV un citviet pasaulē," vērtē Ieva Puzo. "Es vairāk kā politologs skatos. Redzu, ka zinātne kā tāda arī ir viens no ASV varas eksportiem pasaulē, jo daudzi cilvēki dodas uz ASV ar mērķi iegūt zināšanas, jo ASV ir labs finansējums, viss ļoti ērti, infrastruktūra, var iegūt labas zināšanas, programmas ļoti kvalitatīvas, un pēc tam cilvēki aizbrauc atpakaļ uz savām mītnes zemēm ar labu iespaidu par Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm kopumā. Bieži šie cilvēki veido eliti šajās valstīs, kas attiecīgi nāk ar pozitīvu noskaņojumu pret Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm, kas savukārt nozīmē: ja Amerikai, teiksim, kaut ko vajag panākt starptautiskajā vidē, to var izdarīt daudz vieglāk, jo Amerikai uzreiz ir sabiedrotie, cilvēki, kas ir pozitīvi noskaņoti pret Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Ja šāds finansējums zūd, tad šāds eksports mazinās, attiecīgi tas arī mazina ASV spēku starptautiskajā sistēmā," analizē Toms Rātfelders. Jānis Lazovskis ir ieguvis doktora grādu ASV Čikāgā un piekrīt kolēģu teiktajam. Šobrīd ASV strādā un mācās vairāki viņam pazīstami cilvēki. Kad minējis viņiem, ka būs šāda diskusija, un lūdzis komentārus, vairāki lūguši neminēt vārdus, jo viņiem ir satraukums, ka var vērsties pret starptautiskajiem studentiem. "Līdz šim tas ir bijis balstīts tajā, ja izsaka atbalstu Palestīnai, bet kopumā ir sajūta, ja kaut ko pateiks, kas valdībai nepatiks, tad var ļoti viegli studentus izspert ārā no valsts," bilst Jānis Lazovskis. "Tas ir, no vienas puses, neaptverami, kā tāds slikts sapnis, ko gaidām, kad tas beigsies. Protams, no ārpuses ir viegli to tā uztvert. Tiem, kuri dzīvo un strādā Amerikā, tā ir ikdiena, un tas ir noteikti daudz, daudz grūtāk." '"Mums pirms diviem mēnešiem izraidīja no universitātes astoņus studentus. Nebija nekād paziņojuma, vienkārši universitātes Starptautisko lietu departaments skatījās tā saucamos "service record", respektīvi, kur ir informācija par studentu failiem, un ierauga, ka vīza ir atņemta. Principā students ir nostādīts fakta priekšā," stāsta Toms Rātfelders. "Mums universitātes vadība teica: ja kaut ko tādu ierauga, mēģināsim ātri ziņot, mēģināsim ātri monitorēt, lai mēs nebraucam uzreiz projām, jo ir iespēja dabūt universitātes apmaksātu juridisko pakalpojumu. Tā ir realitāte, ar ko jāsaskara, ja tu vēlies palikt ASV, ja tu vēlies savu akadēmisko karjeru saistīt ar Amerikas Savienotajām Valstīm. Ļoti ātri viss var mainīties un tev var vienā brīdī vienkārši nākties samainīt visus dzīves plānus." Tas neattiecas tikai uz studentiem, bet arī uz universitāšu darbiniekiem, norāda Ieva Puzo. Kāpēc Amerika sāka šādi uzvesties pret saviem zinātniekiem un studentiem? Toms Rātfelders norāda, ka jāņem vērā politiskais konteksts saistībā ar Izraēlas - Palestīnas konfliktu, bet laika gaitā tas jau ir attīstījies, ja sāc kaut ko publiski teikt, rakstīt, uzstāties, kas ir pretrunā ar ASV valdības oficiālo nostāju ne tikai Palestīnas jautājumā, arī citos jautājumos, automātiski valdība var pateikt, ka tu esi nevēlams cilvēks šai valstī un tev ir jādodas projām. Tāpēc tev ir jābūt ļoti uzmanīgam. Kuras zinātņu nozares varētu ciest vairāk?  "Viens no uzbrukuma pirmajiem upuriem ir, protams, visas tās jomas vai tie zinātnieki, kas darbojās virzienā, lai veidotu iekļaujošāku sabiedrību, lai mēs veidotu, piemēram, veselības pakalpojumus, kas pieejami visdažādākajām cilvēku grupām. Šīs jomas arī ātri vien kļuva par uzbrukumu upuri un ātri vien parādījās šie 40 vārdi, ko pētnieki nedrīkst iekļaut savos Nacionālā zinātnes fonda un Nacionālā veselības institūta projektu pieteikumos. Šo vārdu saraksts iekļauj, piemēram, tādus vārdus kā sievietes. Tad mēs saprotam, kas ir tas, pret ko notiek šī vēršanās," komentē Ieva Puzo. "Jā, tas vairāk skar noteiktas sociālās zinātnes, humanitārās zinātnes, tomēr tas tiešām skar visdažādākās zinātnes nozares, milzīgas pētnieku grupas. Mani ļoti pārsteidza, ka tajā brīdī, kad šis 40 vārdu saraksts izskanēja, es novēroju kaut kādās "Facebook" grupās, kur pētnieki pulcējas un apspriežas, ka pirmā reakcija bija - hei, mums ir nevis jāprotestē, bet mums ir jāpielāgo savi pētījumu pieteikumi, mums ir jāizņem šie vārdi un tie ir jāaizstāj ar citiem. Un tā ir bīstama tendence, manuprāt, ko es, šķiet, negaidīju no ASV kolēģiem, no vienas puses. No otras puses, tas man tikai nostiprināja pārliecību, ka tas, kas notiek tagad, ir kaut kāda iepriekšējo procesu intensificēšanās un pastiprināšanās. Kā ik trešdienu piedāvājam ielūkoties kādā iedomātā grāmatu plauktā. Šoreiz kādu pērli no Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Anatomijas muzeja plaukta ir gatava izcelt muzeja vadītāja Ieva Lībiete. Viņa stāsta par grāmatu, kas visvairāk ietekmējis to, kā pati saprot medicīnas vēstures gaitu. Tā arī grāmata, kas ietekmējusi veidu, kā medicīnas vēsturi viņa pasniedz studentiem. Tā ir kanādiešu autores - ārstes-hematoloģies, medicīnas vēsturnieces un medicīnas vēstures profesores Žaklinas Dafinas grāmata "Medicīnas vēsture: skandalozi īsa iepazīstināšana" (Jacalyn Duffin. History of Medicine: A Scandalously Short Introduction).

Click to send me a message!"You've mentioned how it's harder for those with kids with autism — what kind of things are harder or different in a neuro-spicy household when it comes to cleaning up?"I got this comment recently, and it really made me stop and think. Because the truth is, it's not just about cleaning — there are so many hidden challenges in neurodiverse and SEN families that most people never see.This isn't about complaining. It's about opening up a conversation — so parents of neurodivergent kids can feel a little less alone, and parents of neurotypical kids can better understand what their friends might be carrying.In this episode, I'm diving into what life really looks like behind the scenes in a neurospicy household — from rigid routines, sensory overwhelm, and picky eating, to emotional letdowns after masking all day, social isolation, extra planning, and the constant mental load that comes with it all.If you're navigating any of this too, I hope this makes you feel seen. And if you've ever wondered what might be going on behind closed doors — I hope it helps you understand.

Linda Levitt, Master Gardener Volunteer, rejoins Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley with Flower Power Retrospective (Part 3) . In this episode you'll hear two previously aired short segments about flowers that have been compiled together for easier listening. In the first segment, Linda discusses how to grow popular fall flowers that include Mums, Asters and Montauk Daisies. Including these beautiful plants in your flower gardens will bring lots of fall color to your landscape. Chrysanthemums are a large genus in the Asteraceae (daisy) family. The plants can grow 2-4 feet tall with blooms that are white, yellow, or pink in the wild species, but also come in multiple cultivars with many colors and shapes of flowers. Mums are divided into garden hardy and exhibition types. Garden hardy mums can be planted in gardens while exhibition mums are more florist types and need special growing care. Garden mums are often sold in the fall but can be planted in the garden for the following year. They need organic soils in full sun but can tolerate some shade in the south. Be sure to cut the plants back in summer to encourage bushiness and a later bloom time. Use in the border, in pots, or on the patio or porch for fall color. Asters are also members of the Asteraceae family. They have daisy-like flowers and come in a variety of colors. They are easy to grow and require minimal maintenance. They typically bloom in late summer and fall, adding color as the seasons change. They have mounding as well as erect varieties and may be propagated by seeds, division, root cuttings, or stem cuttings. Deer, rabbits, and other mammals may nibble at the flower buds but they don't tend to eat the entire plant because of its pungent smell, bitter taste. The plant tolerates the nibbling, which serves as beneficial pruning. Asters are an important food and nesting source for wildlife. The Montauk Daisy (also known as the Nippon daisy) is native to Japan but cultivated as an ornamental elsewhere. This perennial tolerates light shade in hot climates. New growth may be cut back slightly in spring to maintain plant compactness and encourage bushy form. Removing spent flower heads may promote additional blooms. Divide clumps every 2-3 years to maintain vigor. It produces wonderful, long-lasting fresh-cut flowers. They are also good for drought-tolerant gardens. The second segment features Holiday plants including how to care for them. Amaryllis, Holiday Cactus and Poinsettias are all discussed. Amaryllis bulbs, native to Africa, come in various sizes. Amaryllis may be purchased as bare or planted bulbs, and are prized for their exotic trumpet-shaped flowers (typically red, white, pink, salmon, apricot, rose, or burgundy) on leafless stalks that can be 1-2 feet long. They add dramatic color to homes and gardens and make wonderful gifts to gardeners from beginners to experts. Amaryllis flowers, which can be single or double) range from 4 to 10 inches in size. The holiday cactus is a genus of succulent plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae) that are native to Southeast Brazil. This genus includes the Christmas and Thanksgiving cactus. It has fleshy stems, showy flowers and grows well as a houseplant, preferring moisture but adapting to a variety of home environments. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, but doesn't like direct sun. Periods of lower light in the fall will encourage winter blooms. They may be propagated by stem or root cuttings.The poinsettia is native to Mexico and Guatemala. In the United States, it is typically grown as a potted plant and is popular as a decorative flower (available in shades of red, pink, and white) during the holidays. The plant grows best in part shade at temperatures of 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Water the plant when the soil surface feels dry, but do not overwater. The cup-shaped yellow "flowers" bloom in the winter through the spring and cluster above showy red leafy bracts or modified leaves. We hope you've enjoyed this retrospective series. As Linda Levitt reminds us "don't forget to stop and smell the flowers'".

This show isn't often one for big announcements. But today we park the trivialities. There's not a mention of word games or credit scores in sight. For another obsession is about to take over the life of Johnny JR. It's big. And it could complete his transformation from movement cynic to the Haile Gebrselassie of rural Bucks*.And Producer Dave is simply rubbing his hands together at the prospect of 11 months of ready baked content.Oh we're busy bees today, because there's also time to dip into CVs of the past where Elis simply isn't willing to accept John's stock management claims.There's also some fantastic emails that shine a light on the British economy's productivity problem. AND can under pressure Elis reverse his relegation form in the Cymru Connection?If you've got anything to contribute to our chocolate box of nonsense then get it to elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp us on 07974 293 022.*(Well depending on whether Dave's contact pulls it out of the bag. Otherwise we're back to square one).
