Es ist viel Los in Berlin, in Deutschland, Europa und der Welt. Die beiden Berliner DRAGQUEENS Jurassica Parka und Margot Schlönzke haben euch wieder die (ir)relevantesten Nachrichten in diesem Podcast zusammengeführt: Blaue Euer und Orangene Haare, Stromausfall in Spanien und Kaiserschnitt in der Türkei, Schach in Afghanistan und natürlich wieder neues von den Teslas.

Der Papst ist tot, es lebe der Papst! - Oder doch nicht? Sterben am Tag der Ausferstehung? Einmal mit Profis arbeite... Das sorgt alles für große Verwirrung bei den Berliner DRAGQUEENS Margot Schlönzke und Jurassica Parka. Aber "Habemus Koalitionsvertrag", da steht vieles drin, aber relevantes auch nicht. Und was macht Ungarn gerade mit Queers? Warum ist Marine le Pen sauer? Wer hat Jens Spahn unbeaufsichtigt vors Mikro gelassen? Dafür aber Mehr Zölle für alle in den USA (Was macht Trump eigentlich beruflich?). Und wo findet man einen Lego-Stein, wenn man ihn sucht? Und dann überrascht Jurassica auch noch die Margot und id eMargot ist überrascht... na ja... geht so... völlig verkehrte Welt!Aber hört selbst.

Thiago Moraes, North America Sales Manager for Cultiva, joins us to talk about why cherry cracking is such a concern for growers.

Wir sind Billonär*innen! - Zumindest sitzt das Geld jetzt sehr locker und natürlich besprechen die beiden Berliner DRAGQUEENS Margot Schlönzke und Jurassica Parka, was man so alles mit dem Geld machen kann. Doch die wichtigste Nachricht: der erste Spargel ist gestochen! Jurassica liebt es, Margot kann darauf verzichten. Außerdem philosophieren die beiden, wer Deutschlands nächster "große Nagus" wird. Und während die dänische Post den Briefverkehr einstellt, Paris rund 500 Straßen stillegt, gehen den USA die Eier aus... Da tobt der "Despot"! TrumPutin telefonieren miteinander und haben dennoch unterschiedliche Gespräche geführt. Und bei Teslas fehlen 1,4 Milliarden... Konnte man bei Ex-"Twitter" lesen... wenn es denn mal online war. Und dann gab es da noch den Golf von Tegel und vielleicht auch demnächst den "Golf von Parka und Schlönzke"? Ansonsten hatte Margot Spaß mit dem Finanzamt. Bei Jurassica war hingegen nichts los.

U novoj epizodi Njuz Podkasta analiziramo kako je projekat Ćacilend postao potpuni fijasko – lažni studenti, batinaši u crnim jaknama i pokušaji izazivanja haosa na protestima. Osim toga, bavimo se i misterioznim zvučnim napadima tokom protesta. Osećaj vrtoglavice, jak pritisak u grudima i neobični zvuci doveli su do sumnji da je vlast koristila vortex cannon – uređaj sposoban da izazove haos u masi. Šta kažu analize, a šta vlast pokušava da sakrije? Takođe, pratimo i novi upad Nemanje Šarovića među ćacije, kao i manipulaciju režima – od spinova na Pinku i Informeru do kontramitinga i pritisaka na demonstrante i aktiviste. Smeh, satira i brutalna realnost – sve na jednom mestu!

Cultiva's North American Sales Manager, Thiago Moraes says they have a healthy solution called Parka to improve tree health, growth and fruit production.

BUNDESTAGSWAHL ... ist natürlich auch ein Thema für die beiden Berliner Dragqueens Jurassica Parka und Margot Schlönzke, aber nicht nur! Es gibt auch andere Wichtige Themen: Was machen, wenn man im Regio dringend einen frischen Kaffee möchte? Wessen Auto steht seit einem JAhr auf dem Parkplatz des BER ...und wie hoch belaufen sich die Parkgebühren? Was sit eine orkende Person? Wie Oft war Lindner bei Lanz? Wer ist geile Sau des Monats geworden? wer sit der Wichser des Monats und warum mussten jurassica und Margot die ersten Stunde des Podcasts doppelt aufnehmen? Aber hört selbst.

"Pati galvenā šajā laikā ir cerība," uzskata Latvijas Televīzijas žurnāliste, skatītāju tik iemīļotā raidījuma "Ielas garumā" veidotāja, daudzu portretraidījumu un filmu autore un arī Latvijas sabiedrisko mediju balvas "Kilograms kultūras" žūrijas pārstāve Lilita Eglīte, kura cenšas sekot līdzi visiem notikumiem kultūras jomā, bet balvas "Kilograms kultūras" kontekstā viņas prioritātes ir vizuālā māksla, kino un teātris.... Šovakar pulksten 17.30 Latvijas Televīzijas 1. kanālā būs skatāms jau trešais Lilitas veidotais raidījums par Jelgavu, bet pulksten 21.05 Rīgas kinostudijā sāksies balvas "Kilograms kultūras" pasniegšanas ceremonija un koncerts, ko tiešraidīs arī "Klasika". Ilze Medne: Raidījuma "Ielas garumā" jaunākais raidījums, kuru lūkojām februāra sākumā, bija veltīts ceļojumam uz Alsungu, un tas nu bija viens meistardarbs, ne raidījums, kas mums ļāva to pilnasinīgo vasaras pilnbriedu un kultūras savdabības un bagātības sajūtu smelt pusstundas garumā pilnām riekšavām. Gribu jums teikt sirsnīgu paldies par to, ko jūs ar šiem raidījumiem darāt, jo man tā ir regulāra pote pa brīžam dziestošai patriotisma sajūtai. Latvijas Radio šāds mīļraidījums man ir "Stiprie stāsti", televīzijā - "Ielas garumā": kad noklausos un noskatos šos raidījumus, ir sajūta – ar mums viss būs labi, ja mums Latvijā ir tik skaisti, gudri un stipri cilvēki. Tikai jāprot viņus pamanīt, novērtēt un pateikt viņiem paldies. Lilita Eglīte: Ar mums patiešām viss būs labi, ja ir tādi cilvēki, un man jāatzīst, ka suitos bija viens no lieliskākajiem pēdējā laika piedzīvojumiem, jo tur patiešām ir šie cilvēki! Un ja man vēl izdodas viņus parādīt tā, ka kāds iedvesmojas, tad, manuprāt, ir sasniegts tas, kas žurnālistam ir jādara: viņam ir jāparāda tas, kas ir vērtīgs. Protams, jāatklāj arī tas, kas nav tik vērtīgs, tomēr pati galvenā īpaši šajā laikā ir cerība. Tas brīnišķīgais, ko dara cilvēki visapkārt Latvijā. Un suiti noteikti ir tādi. Ļoti, ļoti interesants piedzīvojums! Vai jūsu mērķis, veidojot raidījumu par suitiem, bija tieši tāds pats, kāds tas bija laikā, kad jūs pirms 22 gadiem sākāt veidot raidījumu "Ielas garumā"? Jā. Pirms tam gatavoju ļoti daudzus raidījumus par vēsturi: gan "Rīgai 800", gan vēl agrāk, kad strādāju Jaunatnes, skolēnu un bērnu raidījumu redakcijā: ar pusaudžiem ļoti daudz braucām pa Latviju, un es viņus mēģināju ieinteresēt novadpētniecībā, vēsturē. Pēc tam studijā bija konkurss. Bija arī tādi raidījumi kā "Ejam meklēt!", "Pieturiet!", "Zaļais kvadrāts". Principā tēma visu laiku bijusi viena un tā pati – līdz pat raidījumam "Ielas garumā". Cauri laikiem. Tikai toreiz tas sākās ar bērnu raidījumiem. Šogad man bija viena no brīnišķīgākajām raidījumu pieturām – tā bija Subatē, kur atgriezos pēc 30 gadiem, bet sastapu tos pašus cilvēkus, ko biju intervējusi toreiz, kad viņi bija mazi bērni… Piemēram, viena meitene dziedāja to labi zināmo dziesmiņu Šuju lellei jaku. Pēc raidījuma par Subati viņa man atsūtīja videosveicienu, un tas bija brīnišķīgi! Subate ir viena izcila vieta! Maza vietiņa, arī sarežģīta vietiņa, jo tur vairs nav centra, bet tur ir brīnišķīga koka arhitektūra un tur ir ļoti aizrautīgi cilvēki, kuri stāv un krīt par to un veido savu vidi ļoti skaistā vietā – pie diviem ezeriem. Vai jums ir karte, kurā jūs ar raibiem karodziņiem atzīmējat vietas, kurās esat bijuši un filmējuši?  Šādu karti pirms gadiem desmit izveidoja portāls LSM, un tā karte tur ir joprojām, tikai tā kādu laiku bija neaktīva. Tagad mūsu raidījuma izpildproducents Gunārs apņēmies šo karti atkal atdzīvināt un papildināt ar visām tām ielām un vietām, kur esam bijuši pēdējā laikā. Tā kā meklējiet šo karti LSM! Kuri ir blīvākie maršruti? Ārpus Rīgas ļoti daudz esam filmējuši Jūrmalā. Jo tur bija un joprojām ir brīnišķīgi vēsturnieki – Inga Sarma, arhitekts un kultūrvēsturnieks Rihards Pētersons, vēsturniece Ausma Pētersone. Starp citu, nākamais raidījums 1. martā būs Kāpu ielas stāsta turpinājums. Iet kopā ar Rihardu Pētersonu allaž ir ļoti aizraujoši, jo tad tu pamani Jūrmalas arhitektūrā ļoti daudzas nianses. Lai gan es pa kādu ielu pirms raidījuma esmu nostaigājusi jau daudzas reizes, tad, kad ejam kopā ar Rihardu, ir savādāk. Nebiju bijusi Jelgavā, lai gan pati esmu no Jelgavas, tur esmu dzīvojusi kādu laiciņu, un mani vecāki tur dzīvoja, bet es kaut kā nevarēju saņemties stāstīt par Jelgavu, jo tas, kāda šī pilsēta tika sabūvēta padomju laikā, un salīdzināt to ar seno Jelgavu – kaut kā sāpīgi... Īsti nemācēju tam pieķerties. Bet tagad jau tapis trešais raidījums par Jelgavu! Šovakar būs stāsts par Parka ielu ar trim parkiem Jelgavā. Tā ka var atrast arī tādas vietas. Ļoti mīļa pilsēta man ir Liepāja, kur esmu ļoti daudz filmējusi, atgriežoties šeit ik pēc laiciņa – pēc gadiem pieciem, diviem, kā nu kuru reizi. Latvijā esmu bijusi visos novados, daudz Latgalē, un šogad arī pirmo reizi Rēzeknē. Ir vēl dažas vietiņas, kur vēlētos aizbraukt. Jo "Ielas garumā" esmu mēģinājusi darīt tā – gan Rīgā, gan arī pēc tam novados –, ka nav visu laiku viens un tas pats rajons, apkaime, jo tur tomēr ir diezgan daudz līdzīga. Lai skatītājiem nekļūtu garlaicīgi, pamainu vietas. Vairāk – audioierakstā.

Das neue Jahr fängt ja gut an! Natürlich bewegen die Ereignisse in den USA die beiden Berliner DRAGS Jurassica Parka und Margot Schlönzke. Doch es gibt auch Lichtblicke: eine Starke Bischöfin, Zeit für Jeder*frau um den Podcast zu hören, neu entdeckte Kommunisten in der Deutschen Geschichte und eine Werbekampagne, die Garmisch-Partenkirchen weltweit zum zum Lieblingsort der meisten Menschen werden lässt.

Zu Gast: Mario Olszinski aka Jurassica Parka, 45, Dragqueen, Entertainerin, Kolumnistin, Moderatorin & Podcasterin Angeblich geht der Begriff „Drag“ auf William Shakespeare zurück, der ja viele weibliche Bühnencharaktere von männlichen Schauspielern verkörpern ließ. „Dressed as Girl“, abgekürzt eben: "drag“ soll in seinen Bühnenanweisungen gestanden habeni. Heute ist Drag eine Kunstform, in der zumeist Männer überzeichnet als weibliche Bühnencharaktere performen. Als eine der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Dragqueens gilt Jurassica Parka, die 1979 als Mario Olschinski in Berlin Neukölln zur Welt kam. Mit 19 geht der gerade erst als offen homosexuelle Mario auf einen Ball, verliebt sich ins queere Nachtleben der wilden Hauptstadt und avanciert selbst schnell zur Ikone der Partyszene. Während Mario Kommunikationsdesign studierte und in einer etablierten Werbeagentur arbeitete, ließ es Jurassica, damals noch als „Gina Tonic“ an den Wochenenden krachen. Das schlug auf die Kondition und forcierte die Entscheidung, den Job als Dragqueen hauptberuflich zu machen. Was als finanzielles Desaster begann, endete - Stand heute - als etabliertes Happy End, allein Jurassicas Personality-Show „Paillette geht immer“ feierte gerade 10jähriges Bestehen im BKA. Glückwunsch noch mal! 2 Personen in einem Menschen, das scheint ziemlich gut zu funktionieren. https://schwulenberatungberlin.de/wir-helfen/wir-helfen-alkohol-drogen/  

Sometimes it gets hard to say the right words.By kittybeaver, in 5 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Dirk's biceps flexed and contracted as his arm moved in long strokes up and down the front of his pants. Tina tried to be shocked and appalled by his actions, but the part of her that controlled lower brain functions found it mesmerizing."What are you doing?""Switching on video recording," Fact-Tel said. "I'm sure we'll want this for the archives.""I was able to identify General Zero," Dirk said, his arm keeping its slow, steady pace "and follow him--""Dirk. Dirk!" she interrupted. "Why are you, " The shadows shifted on the front of his pants as a shape began to emerge, the shape of something large and thick. Tina licked her lips. "Why are you touching yourself?""It's a long story. I don't want to get into it.""I think you have to."He looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath. "I told you about my dad, right?""Yes," Tina said. "He's a magician.""A wizard," Dirk corrected, "and for reasons that are unimportant, he put a spell on me so I can't talk unless I have a hard-on."She took a moment to absorb the information. "And I thought your relationship with your mother was weird.""I should probably be in therapy," he agreed, his hand still down the front of his pants. "Back to my report. I followed General Zero from the nightclub down to the docks, where he met with a short man in a parka and then, Tina you're drooling.""Oh, sorry." She wiped the back of her hand across her chin. "Remind me again what your mission was. I'm drawing a blank.""Is it because I'm jerking off?" he asked.She nodded. "It's a little, a little, actually it's a good size." She tore her eyes away from his pelvis. "Maybe you can write out your report.""Okay," Dirk said. "I need a pen and a piece of paper.""Wash your hands first," Fact-Tel said. It made no attempt to hide the disdain in its machine generated voice.By the time Dirk's hands were clean, Tina had placed a pen and notebook on her desk and pulled out her chair for him to sit."It's much easier to think when you're not, you know, doing that," she said.He only nodded and silently began to write.It took several minutes for him to fill up the page, but once he was done he handed her the notebook and sat back, his arms crossed in front of his chest."Your handwriting is atrocious." Tina scanned the page. "What does this say? Tiger print motif?" She tossed the notebook back on the desk. "I can't read this. We're going to have to add penmanship to your training. In the meantime, use the computer and type your report.""Did you clean underneath your fingernails?" Fact-Tel asked."Never mind that," Tina said. "We'll disinfect later, just type."If only it was that simple. Dirk's skill set as a male-model didn't include touch typing. He pecked at the keyboard with his middle fingers. Laboriously, one letter at a time, the words began to form. Tina paced the floor behind him, drumming her fingers on her thighs.So little was known about General Zero. They didn't even have a good description of him. If Dirk's report was thorough enough, they'd finally be able to fit together the pieces of what was undoubtedly an evil plot. Only then would they be able to formulate their own plan to stop it.She was peering over his shoulder to see how far he'd gotten, when he started to hit the backspace button."No," she gasped. "Don't do that."Dirk rocked back and forth, grinding his crotch against the desk leg for a minute before saying, "I misspelled corduroy."That morning if someone had said to Tina, 'Tonight you're going to rip open your blouse and shove your coworker's face into your cleavage,' she would have laughed at their preposterous prediction. Now, in a moment of desperation, she did just that."Does this help?" she asked while she pushed Dirk's nose between her breasts."A ribble bi," he responded, his voice muffled by her bountiful flesh.She pushed his head back to prevent suffocation. "Keep your eyes on these." She pointed to her boobs, certain that Dirk would be able to make out her nipples through her lacy black bra. "Fact-Tel, record audio and disable video," she called to the AI. "I repeat, disable video.""Fine," Fact-Tel intoned. "Whatever. It's not like I get off on this sort of stuff."Tina ignored the Artificial Intelligence and studied Dirk for a moment. "Are you going to be able to continue with your debriefing?""I guess," he said. His words were slow and not well articulated."How about now?" She started to bounce up and down on her toes. It was a subtle movement, but it was enough to send her breasts jiggling."Yes." His voice was strong and clear. "That is, very effective.""Good." Tina continued to bounce. "Let's start with a description of General Zero."Dirk happily obliged. "He's about 5'6" and approximately 165 lbs.""What about facial features?" she asked. "Were there any identifying scars or tattoos?""Not that I saw?""How about hair and eye color?""Nah." His words were starting to slur. "He wore a hoodie and mirrored sunglaffies."Tina lifted higher on her toes and dropped faster, causing her breast to bounce more. "What about skin color?""It was dark in the club." Dirk regained his enunciation. "The flashing lights made it hard to tell. Honestly, I'm not certain General Zero is a man."Tina tried to nod her understanding, but it got lost in the bounces. "Until further notice Zero's pronouns will be 'they,' 'their' and 'them.'"I followed Zero down to the docks," Dirk continued, "where they met with a short man in a parka. I know he was a man because of the unkempt facial hair and tacky fedora.""It's midsummer," she said, thinking out loud. "Why was he wearing a parka?""I ohn't gnow."Without putting much thought into it, Tina began to bounce even harder, but by this time her movements were so violent Dirk actually pushed his chair back and put his hands up to protect his face."Fine, fine." She stopped bouncing and spoke in a calming voice. "We'll try something else." Then she reached behind her back and undid the clasp on her bra. The straps slid off her shoulders and the bra fell to the floor, leaving Tina quite topless. She could feel her nipples harden as an air-conditioned breeze brushed passed them. "Did Zero and the parka man do anything other than talk?"Dirk tilted his head from one side to the other and a dreamy smile spread across his face. "Yeah. Crates were being offloaded from a ship onto a truck. Parka man opened one of the crates for Zero to inspect."Tina placed her hand on the desk and leaned forward. "Now we're getting somewhere.""We certainly are," Dirk sighed. "Can I touch them?"She rolled her eyes. "Keep it professional, Agent Allen.""Sorry." He sat up straight and clenched his hands into fists in his lap."Were you able to ascertain what was in the crates?""Esh, des amps"Tina rolled her eyes again, then she grabbed Dirk's hands and not so gently placed them against her breasts.The weight of Tina's breasts settled nicely onto Dirk's palms. There was something so pure about squeezing her soft, warm flesh. It was calming, yet stimulating. It sent him right to his happy place and definitely helped him pop a chub."The crates," she said."Right." Dirk said, his words mumbled more from shame than anything else.He was ricocheting back and forth between euphoria and embarrassment. If he didn't have to think about why he was cupping Tina's boobs, then he could really enjoy it. Yet, when he thought about what his father had done to him, how ashamed and infuriated he felt, well, it was enough to squash any man's pocket rocket. Still, he was an agent-in-training and he had a duty."Desk lamps," he said. "There were desk lamps in the crates. High quality, I think. There were tiger stripes on the lamp shades."She straightened her back slightly, forcing Dirk to extend his arms a couple inches so he could keep hold of the goods. "You really did write Tiger Print Motif?"He nodded. "I'm working on making my vocabulary, you know, ""Bigger?""That's it.""But why the lamps?" Tina shifted her weight from one hip to the other. "And why the man in the parka?""Can you stop squirming so much?" Dirk asked. "It's hard for me to cop a feel."She gave him one of her disapproving stares that made him shrivel inside. "I can't think if I have to hold still. I need to pace back and forth to figure this thing out." She took a step back, pulling away from his grasp. "It's better if you stay quiet for right now."Dirk's hands felt cold and empty, but at least he still had a nice view. Tina hadn't remembered to put her blouse back on and she was wearing a pair of finely tailored black pants. They hugged her thighs and stretched across her plump ass. The farther she moved away from him, the more of her he could take in at once."We don't know much about General Zero," she was saying as she moved across the floor in her knee high boots, "just that they're raising funds for some dastardly plan."His eyes traced the curve of her spine, from her shoulder blades down to the dimples peeking out of her trousers' waistband. Dirk appreciated the slope of her hips and the radiance of her pale skin. He found himself nodding in agreement to every step she took, as if her very movement was a statement of fact that couldn't be denied."The question is, are the lamps part of the financing or part of the plan?" She pivoted on her heels and was suddenly facing him again. He didn't mind. Her front side was just as entertaining as her back."It depends," he said as his eyes happily traced a triangle between her nipples and her bellybutton, "on what they're smuggling in the lamps.""What?" She stopped walking. "You can still talk?"It occurred to Dirk that a professional secret agent would not objectify his partner's body while she was trying to unravel a nefarious plan. He would, instead, look up statistics and make calculations in order to help solve the puzzle. The fact that Dirk was still pitching a tent made it obvious he wasn't being professional."I'm sawffy," he tried to say. The shame of his perversion was already softening his resolve."No. No." In three quick steps Tina was across the room, leaning over him and vigorously rubbing his groin. "There was something in the lamps?""Oh God." His eyes drifted shut as he sunk down in his chair."Finish the thought, Dirk," Tina commanded. "There was something in the lamps.""Maybe," he moaned. "Zero looked inside one. Why else would they do that unless, Oh yeah, Baby, you're so beautiful." If only she would unzip his fly and free him. He longed to feel skin to skin contact."Did they only look inside the lamp" she asked, her arm keeping a consistent pace, "or did they do more, like sniff it?""They touched it," he said, "then rubbed their fingers together." The pressure was building in his throbbing Johnson. His balls ached. Dirk needed release. There, in front of him, were Tina's naked breasts. They would look so good with a pearl necklace. "Squeeze me tighter. Bring me home.""No." Tina's gripped noticeably loosened. "You can't climax. Once you ejaculate you won't be able to speak again for 20 minutes to an hour.""It wouldn't be that long," Dirk protested. "Five minutes top. Please. If I don't cum soon it's going to be a medical situation.""Look at me."He did as he was told. Tina's golden-brown eyes could be cold and ruthless, but right then they held an endless supply of compassion."You're my partner," she continued. "We look out for each other. I would never leave you hanging. Do you trust me?"

Par to, ka dabu ir patīkami baudīt vietās, kas ir aizsargājamas un kļuvušas par kāda dabas parka teritorijām, droši vien pārliecinājies ikviens, kas dabā dodas. Bet kā ir ar šādu aizsargājamu teritoriju esamību jūrā? Arī tur ir vietas, kas īpaši sargājamas. Taču nezinu, vai daudzi spēs nosaukt aizsargājamās teritorijas Baltijas jūrā tikpat ātri, kā uzburt iztēlē, piemēram, ainas no Gaujas nacionālā parka vai Slīteres. Latvijā šobrīd ir septiņas jūras aizsargājamās teritorijas, un tās stiepjas no Nidas Latvijas dienvidos, skarot Irbes šaurumu un Rīgas līča rietumu piekrasti, līdz pat Ainažiem valsts ziemeļos. Pēdējos gados tika veikta arī zinātniskā izpēte Latvijas ekskluzīvajā ekonomiskajā zonā Baltijas jūrā un padziļināti pētītas vēl trīs teritorijas, kas varētu tikt iekļauts aizsargājamo jūras teritoriju tīklā. Lielākā no tām ir Zēģelnieku sēkļi pie Ventspils, iepretī Pāvilostā esošo teritoriju iecerēts saukt par Alku sēkli, bet trešā teritorija atrodas Liepājas tuvumā un turpmāk tiks saukta par Papes kalvi. Nezinu, vai zinātnieku sniegtie ieteikumi zvejas regulēšanai šajās vietās vai pašu teritoriju robežas un tas, ko tajās drīkstēs un nedrīkstēs darīt, pēdējā laikā ir radījis satraukumu arī daļā zvejnieku. Ir notikušas sanāksmes, kurās pētnieki tikušies ar zvejniekiem, lai skaidrotu situāciju un ko tad īsti varam sagaidīt no šīm teritorijām un darbošanās tajās. Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā diskutē abu pušu pārstāvji: Solvita Strāķe, Latvijas Hidroekoloģijas institūta vadošā pētniece, Ivars Putnis, zinātniskā institūta BIOR Jūras nodaļas vadītājs un vadošais pētnieks, Andris Cīrulis, biedrības "Mazjūras zvejnieki" un Ēvalds Urtāns, Zvejnieku federācijas priekšsēdētājs. Gaujas nacionālā parka vērtības un jaunais dabas aizsardzības plāns Gaujas nacionālais parks 14. septembrī svin savu 51. dzimšanas dienu. Tas ir Latvijas vecākais un arī apmeklētākais nacionālais parks. Laika gaitā ir mainījušies noteikumi par to, kas parka dažādās zonās, tostarp rezervāta zonās, apmeklētājiem ir vai nav pieļaujams. Par vērtībām, ko parks glabā, par atļaujām tūristiem un jauno Gaujas nacionālā parka dabas aizsardzības plānu, stāsta Dabas aizsardzības pārvaldes Dabas aizsardzības departamenta direktore Gita Strode. Parka kodols ir rezervāta zonas ar purviem un gravām un dabas lieguma zona ar Gaujas senieleju. Šo dabas vērtību un ainavas saglabāšanai tad arī parks savulaik izveidots, kaut ceļotāji šo vietu labprāt izvēlējušies jau senāk. Kā norāda Gita Strode - ja mēs vērtos uz kādām gleznām vai zīmējumiem, kas radīti pirms 100, 150 gadiem vai vēl senāk, tad tur, kur šobrīd slejas nogāžu un gravu meži, iepriekš bijusi atklāta, parkveida ainava. Gan aizsardzības režīma dēļ, gan tāpēc, ka ir mainījusies nacionālā parka apsaimniekošanas prakse un cilvēku vajadzības, parka izskats ir mainījies. Tā vērtības ir ne tikai devona smilšakmens atsegumi, bet arī meži, zālāji un Gauja ar tās pietekām. Pagājušajā gadā apstiprināts Gaujas nacionālā parka dabas aizsardzības plāns 2023.-2035. gadam, kurā izvērtētas šī parka dabas vērtības, ietekmējošie faktori, draudi vērtību saglabāšanai, dažādu pušu intereses, tāpat arī birokrātiskie šķēršļi, lai īstenotu dabas apsaimniekošanas pasākumus. Tā rezultātā plānā sagatavoti ieteikumi par to, cik daudz ierobežot mežsaimniecību, kur atjaunot zālājus, kā mazināt slodzi uz Gaujas upi, kā regulēt tūristu plūsmas un tamlīdzīgi. Sagatavots arī priekšlikums izmaiņām normatīvajā regulējumā. Jau pavisam drīz ikvienam interesentam būs iespēja uzzināt par šīm izmaiņām plašāk, un Gita Strode teic - diskusijas noteikti būs garas.

Sometimes it gets hard to say the right words.By kittybeaver, in 5 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.Dirk’s biceps flexed and contracted as his arm moved in long strokes up and down the front of his pants. Tina tried to be shocked and appalled by his actions, but the part of her that controlled lower brain functions found it mesmerizing.“What are you doing?”“Switching on video recording,” Fact-Tel said. “I’m sure we’ll want this for the archives.”“I was able to identify General Zero,” Dirk said, his arm keeping its slow, steady pace “and follow him–”“Dirk. Dirk!” she interrupted. “Why are you, ” The shadows shifted on the front of his pants as a shape began to emerge, the shape of something large and thick. Tina licked her lips. “Why are you touching yourself?”“It’s a long story. I don’t want to get into it.”“I think you have to.”He looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath. “I told you about my dad, right?”“Yes,” Tina said. “He’s a magician.”“A wizard,” Dirk corrected, “and for reasons that are unimportant, he put a spell on me so I can’t talk unless I have a hard-on.”She took a moment to absorb the information. “And I thought your relationship with your mother was weird.”“I should probably be in therapy,” he agreed, his hand still down the front of his pants. “Back to my report. I followed General Zero from the nightclub down to the docks, where he met with a short man in a parka and then, Tina you’re drooling.”“Oh, sorry.” She wiped the back of her hand across her chin. “Remind me again what your mission was. I’m drawing a blank.”“Is it because I’m jerking off?” he asked.She nodded. “It’s a little, a little, actually it’s a good size.” She tore her eyes away from his pelvis. “Maybe you can write out your report.”“Okay,” Dirk said. “I need a pen and a piece of paper.”“Wash your hands first,” Fact-Tel said. It made no attempt to hide the disdain in its machine generated voice.By the time Dirk’s hands were clean, Tina had placed a pen and notebook on her desk and pulled out her chair for him to sit.“It’s much easier to think when you’re not, you know, doing that,” she said.He only nodded and silently began to write.It took several minutes for him to fill up the page, but once he was done he handed her the notebook and sat back, his arms crossed in front of his chest.“Your handwriting is atrocious.” Tina scanned the page. “What does this say? Tiger print motif?” She tossed the notebook back on the desk. “I can’t read this. We’re going to have to add penmanship to your training. In the meantime, use the computer and type your report.”“Did you clean underneath your fingernails?” Fact-Tel asked.“Never mind that,” Tina said. “We’ll disinfect later, just type.”If only it was that simple. Dirk’s skill set as a male-model didn’t include touch typing. He pecked at the keyboard with his middle fingers. Laboriously, one letter at a time, the words began to form. Tina paced the floor behind him, drumming her fingers on her thighs.So little was known about General Zero. They didn’t even have a good description of him. If Dirk’s report was thorough enough, they’d finally be able to fit together the pieces of what was undoubtedly an evil plot. Only then would they be able to formulate their own plan to stop it.She was peering over his shoulder to see how far he’d gotten, when he started to hit the backspace button.“No,” she gasped. “Don’t do that.”Dirk rocked back and forth, grinding his crotch against the desk leg for a minute before saying, “I misspelled corduroy.”That morning if someone had said to Tina, ‘Tonight you’re going to rip open your blouse and shove your coworker’s face into your cleavage,’ she would have laughed at their preposterous prediction. Now, in a moment of desperation, she did just that.“Does this help?” she asked while she pushed Dirk’s nose between her breasts.“A ribble bi,” he responded, his voice muffled by her bountiful flesh.She pushed his head back to prevent suffocation. “Keep your eyes on these.” She pointed to her boobs, certain that Dirk would be able to make out her nipples through her lacy black bra. “Fact-Tel, record audio and disable video,” she called to the AI. “I repeat, disable video.”“Fine,” Fact-Tel intoned. “Whatever. It’s not like I get off on this sort of stuff.”Tina ignored the Artificial Intelligence and studied Dirk for a moment. “Are you going to be able to continue with your debriefing?”“I guess,” he said. His words were slow and not well articulated.“How about now?” She started to bounce up and down on her toes. It was a subtle movement, but it was enough to send her breasts jiggling.“Yes.” His voice was strong and clear. “That is, very effective.”“Good.” Tina continued to bounce. “Let’s start with a description of General Zero.”Dirk happily obliged. “He’s about 5'6” and approximately 165 lbs.“"What about facial features?” she asked. “Were there any identifying scars or tattoos?”“Not that I saw?”“How about hair and eye color?”“Nah.” His words were starting to slur. “He wore a hoodie and mirrored sunglaffies.”Tina lifted higher on her toes and dropped faster, causing her breast to bounce more. “What about skin color?”“It was dark in the club.” Dirk regained his enunciation. “The flashing lights made it hard to tell. Honestly, I’m not certain General Zero is a man.”Tina tried to nod her understanding, but it got lost in the bounces. “Until further notice Zero’s pronouns will be 'they,’ 'their’ and 'them.’"I followed Zero down to the docks,” Dirk continued, “where they met with a short man in a parka. I know he was a man because of the unkempt facial hair and tacky fedora.”“It’s midsummer,” she said, thinking out loud. “Why was he wearing a parka?”“I ohn't gnow.”Without putting much thought into it, Tina began to bounce even harder, but by this time her movements were so violent Dirk actually pushed his chair back and put his hands up to protect his face.“Fine, fine.” She stopped bouncing and spoke in a calming voice. “We’ll try something else.” Then she reached behind her back and undid the clasp on her bra. The straps slid off her shoulders and the bra fell to the floor, leaving Tina quite topless. She could feel her nipples harden as an air-conditioned breeze brushed passed them. “Did Zero and the parka man do anything other than talk?”Dirk tilted his head from one side to the other and a dreamy smile spread across his face. “Yeah. Crates were being offloaded from a ship onto a truck. Parka man opened one of the crates for Zero to inspect.”Tina placed her hand on the desk and leaned forward. “Now we’re getting somewhere.”“We certainly are,” Dirk sighed. “Can I touch them?”She rolled her eyes. “Keep it professional, Agent Allen.”“Sorry.” He sat up straight and clenched his hands into fists in his lap.“Were you able to ascertain what was in the crates?”“Esh, des amps”Tina rolled her eyes again, then she grabbed Dirk’s hands and not so gently placed them against her breasts.The weight of Tina’s breasts settled nicely onto Dirk’s palms. There was something so pure about squeezing her soft, warm flesh. It was calming, yet stimulating. It sent him right to his happy place and definitely helped him pop a chub.“The crates,” she said.“Right.” Dirk said, his words mumbled more from shame than anything else.He was ricocheting back and forth between euphoria and embarrassment. If he didn’t have to think about why he was cupping Tina’s boobs, then he could really enjoy it. Yet, when he thought about what his father had done to him, how ashamed and infuriated he felt, well, it was enough to squash any man’s pocket rocket. Still, he was an agent-in-training and he had a duty.“Desk lamps,” he said. “There were desk lamps in the crates. High quality, I think. There were tiger stripes on the lamp shades.”She straightened her back slightly, forcing Dirk to extend his arms a couple inches so he could keep hold of the goods. “You really did write Tiger Print Motif?”He nodded. “I’m working on making my vocabulary, you know, ”“Bigger?”“That’s it.”“But why the lamps?” Tina shifted her weight from one hip to the other. “And why the man in the parka?”“Can you stop squirming so much?” Dirk asked. “It’s hard for me to cop a feel.”She gave him one of her disapproving stares that made him shrivel inside. “I can’t think if I have to hold still. I need to pace back and forth to figure this thing out.” She took a step back, pulling away from his grasp. “It’s better if you stay quiet for right now.”Dirk’s hands felt cold and empty, but at least he still had a nice view. Tina hadn’t remembered to put her blouse back on and she was wearing a pair of finely tailored black pants. They hugged her thighs and stretched across her plump ass. The farther she moved away from him, the more of her he could take in at once.“We don’t know much about General Zero,” she was saying as she moved across the floor in her knee high boots, “just that they’re raising funds for some dastardly plan.”His eyes traced the curve of her spine, from her shoulder blades down to the dimples peeking out of her trousers’ waistband. Dirk appreciated the slope of her hips and the radiance of her pale skin. He found himself nodding in agreement to every step she took, as if her very movement was a statement of fact that couldn’t be denied.“The question is, are the lamps part of the financing or part of the plan?” She pivoted on her heels and was suddenly facing him again. He didn’t mind. Her front side was just as entertaining as her back.“It depends,” he said as his eyes happily traced a triangle between her nipples and her bellybutton, “on what they’re smuggling in the lamps.”“What?” She stopped walking. “You can still talk?”It occurred to Dirk that a professional secret agent would not objectify his partner’s body while she was trying to unravel a nefarious plan. He would, instead, look up statistics and make calculations in order to help solve the puzzle. The fact that Dirk was still pitching a tent made it obvious he wasn’t being professional.“I'm sawffy,” he tried to say. The shame of his perversion was already softening his resolve.“No. No.” In three quick steps Tina was across the room, leaning over him and vigorously rubbing his groin. “There was something in the lamps?”“Oh God.” His eyes drifted shut as he sunk down in his chair.“Finish the thought, Dirk,” Tina commanded. “There was something in the lamps.”“Maybe,” he moaned. “Zero looked inside one. Why else would they do that unless, Oh yeah, Baby, you’re so beautiful.” If only she would unzip his fly and free him. He longed to feel skin to skin contact.“Did they only look inside the lamp” she asked, her arm keeping a consistent pace, “or did they do more, like sniff it?”“They touched it,” he said, “then rubbed their fingers together.” The pressure was building in his throbbing Johnson. His balls ached. Dirk needed release. There, in front of him, were Tina’s naked breasts. They would look so good with a pearl necklace. “Squeeze me tighter. Bring me home.”“No.” Tina’s gripped noticeably loosened. “You can’t climax. Once you ejaculate you won’t be able to speak again for 20 minutes to an hour.”“It wouldn’t be that long,” Dirk protested. “Five minutes top. Please. If I don’t cum soon it’s going to be a medical situation.”“Look at me.”He did as he was told. Tina’s golden-brown eyes could be cold and ruthless, but right then they held an endless supply of compassion.“You’re my partner,” she continued. “We look out for each other. I would never leave you hanging. Do you trust me?”“Yes,” he groaned. Sweat was beginning to break out on his forehead.Her fingers wrapped once more around his denim clad battering ram. “The man in the parka, did he talk at all?”Dirk nodded. “I don’t know what he said, but I could hear he had a funny accent.”“Describe it.”“Umm, ” He tried to remember what the man sounded like, just like he tried to keep his hips from thrusting up to meet Tina’s hand. “Like a hipster clown.”“New Zealand!” In her excitement, she clenched her fist a little too hard.“Bad touch! Bad touch!” Dirk’s voice didn’t have its usually low register. Sounding manly at that moment was the least of his concerns.“Sorry.” Tina immediately released him, which was good, but also not good. “Thanks to you, Dirk, it’s all coming together. The funny accent, the parka in the middle of summer. The man was from New Zealand. It’s winter there now.”“It’s winter in Australia too and they also have funny accents,” Dirk said.“Did you want to smack him?”“No.”“Then he wasn’t Australian,” she said. “Whatever he smuggled in those lamps comes from New Zealand.”“So like a Hobbit film?” Dirk was barely able to form the words. His full salute was quickly becoming a half mast.Tina shrugged, she didn’t seem too concerned that he was losing his bone daddy. “Possibly, but you said Zero rubbed their fingers. Hobbit films aren’t that greasy.” She ran her hands through her honey yellow hair. “I don’t know what it could be. I mean, the only other thing New Zealand’s got is sheep.”Dirk had assumed from the very beginning that Tina, with her education and lightning fast intellect, would be the one to crack the case, but at that moment all the pieces fell into place for him. “Wrrrarr!”She must have been able to tell by the look on his face that he had something. She turned away from him, her back arched and her knees slightly bent. He heard the sound of a zipper just before Tina started to wiggle her hips. Slowly, so damn slowly, her pants slid down, revealing the lacy waistband of a thong.“Say it again.”He took a deep breath and watched as the smooth, flawless skin of her ass was revealed to him in all its glory. “Lanolin.” He said the word clearly if somewhat dreamily.“Wool fat?” With the grace of a dancer, Tina bent over, pushing her trousers all the way to the floor. How she managed to take her pants off while keeping her boots on was a voodoo magic Dirk would never understand.“I’m a model,” he reminded her. “I know how important it is to moisturize.”She gasped and spun around to face him. “The Middleburg Moisturizing Plant.”Dirk nodded. “It burned to the ground last month. Since then there’s been a shortage of moisturizing products in the city and it’s only getting worse.” He hadn’t meant to reach out his arms and beckon Tina closer, but he’d done it anyway. His hands were desperate to grip her hips. His fingers wanted nothing more than to leave their imprint on her skin.Tina cocked her head at him for a moment, as if she were considering his physical invitation. “So Zero is smuggling lanolin, a natural moisturizer produced by sheep.” She took a step forward and then another, her hips swaying seductively. “We’re no closer to discovering their evil plot, but at least we know how they’re paying for it.”To Dirk’s delight Tina didn’t stop when she reached him. Instead, she lifted her left leg and straddled his thighs. He palmed her hips, his fingers digging into the pliant flesh of her ass.“They bypass the quality regulations,” he said and then shuddered as Tina rocked forward. Her crotch pressed against his purple cunt invader. “Who knows what kind of chemical impurities people are rubbing on their faces. We have to find out where the lamps were headed.”“I’ve thought about that.” Tina braced her arms on Dirk’s shoulders and rocked faster, causing a delicious friction between the fabric of his pants and his throbbing, one-eyed, burrowing worm. “It has to be The Jungle Bungalow. It’s the only store in the city that sells tacky animal print furniture.”His heart pounded as the need for release built inside him again. He quickly passed the state of desperation he’d reached before. “Tina, please, ” he begged.She stopped moving and studied him for a moment.“Fact-Tel,” she called, never taking her eyes off Dirk, “send the interns to raid The Jungle Bungalow and seize the contraband moisturizer.”“Right away,” the super computer said. “I’m contacting the district attorney to have a warrant issued.”“Great,” Tina said. “You can end the audio recording.”“Audio recording ended. Saving to archives.”“Thanks.” Her lips curved into a subtle smile. “Shut down all your external sensors, take yourself offline and run a complete diagnostic.”“All systems are running fine,” Fact-Tel said. “I don’t need to run–”“Just do it,” Tina interrupted. “That’s an order.”“Fine,” the computer muttered. “Don’t think I’m fooled by this. I know what you’re about to do and it’s disgusting.”“Good night, Fact-Tel,” she said. The computer’s lights went out one by one until it had shut do
