Solar, wind, hydro  -  every kilowatt of clean power displaces the fossil fuels warming our planet. The big picture matters. So do the small choices you make every day. This week's tip comes from the 5 Rs of Sustainability: Refuse. Before you buy something new, ask yourself if you actually need it. Every item you don't buy is one that never had to be made, shipped, or eventually thrown away. Refusing is the most underrated act of sustainability there is. Start there. Your wallet and the planet will both thank you. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/. WELCOME THE IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC PODCAST * Helping you celebrate Celtic culture through music. I am Marc Gunn. I'm a Celtic musician and also host of Pub Songs & Stories. Every song has a story, every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters. Discover the stories behind the songs from the heart of the Celtic pub scene. This podcast is for fans of all kinds of Celtic music. We are here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email the artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. These musicians are not part of some corporation. They are small indie groups that rely on people just like you to support their music so they can keep creating it. Please show your generosity. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their community on Patreon. You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes, along with show times, when you visit our website at celticmusicpodcast.com. CHANGE IN WHO IS PLAYED ON THE PODCAST, NO AI MUSIC, FOCUS ON PERFORMING BANDS Something important happened recently. I received my first - ever submission from a Celtic "band" that was 100% AI - generated. Honestly? It sounded good. And I was grateful the artist, Emma Rove, was completely open about it. The music and the vocals were AI. I couldn't tell. But from the early days of this podcast, my goal has been to promote indie Celtic artists. I'm updating that for the future. My goal is to promote performing indie Celtic artists. This actually works well for me. I'm not a fan of most "Celtic Music" on YouTube. It's usually electronic and orchestrated. Not my thing. So if the artists aren't performing, I probably won't play them on the podcast. Hopefully that makes for a better show all around. Thanks for your support. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Turaidas Muzejzervāts ir vieta, kur arheoloģiskā izpēte ir ar pamatīgu un bagatīgu tradīciju, taču nekas nav apstājies un izpēte aizvien turpinās. Šajā teritorijā atrastas liecības par cilvēku dzīvi vēl pirms Rīga kļuva par pilsētu. Kas atrasts Turaidā, kā notiek arheoloģiskā izpēte šeit un kā nākotnē plānots atklāt aizvien jaunus faktus par cilvēku dzīvi Turaidas pils apkaimē. Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā stāsta Mārcis Kļaviņš,  Turaidas muzejrezervāta vēsturnieks, Justīne Timermane, Turaidas muzejrezervāta vēsturniece, un Egīls Jemeļjanovs, Turaidas muzejrezervāta galvenais speciālists. Vispirms par aktuālo, jo jau 12. jūnijā Turaidā norisināsies Eiropas arheoloģijas dienas. Šī gada Arheoloģijas dienu tēma “Ēdiens pilī” aicina ielūkoties viduslaiku ikdienā caur arheoloģiskajām liecībām par uzturu un galda kultūru.  Savukārt jūlija otrajā pusē atjaunos pļavas, 19. jūlija līdz 1. augustam Turaidas muzejrezervātā norisināsies starptautisks projekts, kurā jaunie kultūras mantojuma speciālisti no visas Eiropas apvienos spēkus, lai praktiski atjaunotu un koptu Turaidas vēsturiskā centra kultūrainavu, izmantojot tradicionālās metodes. Tas nozīmē, ka zāli pļaus ar izkapti un kraus zārdos. Zinātnes ziņas par kādu atradumu Ķīnā Nesen Ķīnā atrastie akmens priekšmeti liecina, ka cilvēki spējuši radīt visai sarežģītus darba rīkus 146 tūkstošu gadu senā pagātnē, kad valdījis ledus laikmets. Tas liek pārvērtēt uzskatu, kad notiek lielāka civilizācijas attīstība. Vai cilvēku radošums zeļ tikai vieglos un labklājīgos laikos? Iespējams, ka ne, un par to, ka varētu būt citādi, aicina domāt Ķīnas zinātnieki. “Žurnālā par cilvēka evolūciju” publicētā rakstā pētnieki pēc vairāk nekā 10 gadu ilga darba senā vietā Ķīnas centrālajā daļā, izrokot dzīvnieku kaulus un sarežģītus akmens darbarīkus, snieguši pierādījumus, ka agrīnie cilvēki varbūt kļuvusi atjautīgāki, dzīvojot skarbā ledus laikmetā. Runa ir par laiku pirms 146 tūkstošiem gadu, un atrastās arheoloģiskās liecības raksturo mūsdienu cilvēkam radniecisku grupu "Homo juluensis". Tādējādi ne tikai Eiropā cilvēka senčiem bijusi attīstīta domāšana. Par pētījumu saruna ar Latvijas Universitātes Humanitāro zinātņu fakultātes Latvijas vēstures institūta vadošo pētnieku Valdi Bērziņu, un iesākumā palūkosimies, kāda bija aina "Homo juluensis" darbības laikā izskatījās Eiropā.

A warm summer breeze ruffles the papers on your desk and nearly scatters them to the floor. They remain, however, and you slouch in relief... if you had to reach out and stop your notes from flying through that open window, you might pass out from the effort. The humid air and the faint buzz of insects withers your strength, though not so much as your teacher's repeated explanations of geometric proofs. Suddenly the teacher stops, slams their chalk against the wall, and announces a pop quiz – 'Since you all seem so bored with this material, I assume you must be experts already!' What a cruel thing to say to a class full of overheated, weary teenagers. Your savior arrives, however, as the Westminster chimes sound off and signal the end of class, the end of the school day, and the end of this nightmare you've had each and every night since you graduated.This month, Sara and Runa talk about both volumes of 07th Expansions Higanbana no Saku Yoru Ni (2011). As an anthology of school horror and ghost stories, Higanbana doesn't follow a single narrative arc throughout each volume so much as it introduces us to characters and concepts that the game explores through each of its chapters. School bullying, the physical and sexual abuse of students, suicidal ideation, stalking, animal cruelty, and grief are among Higanbana's main concerns and in general, all of these subjects are treated with a great deal of care and nuance. In a truly massive school filled with ghost stories, gossip, and legends, a group of powerful youkai hold court and hunt the souls of the humans who pass through their halls. The game begins with the story of Marie Moriya and follows the brutal abuse she suffers at the hands of a teacher, leading to her eventual death and then rebirth as the new youkai, mesomeso-san. She soon encounters Higanbana, the youkai of the school's infirmary, and throughout the rest of the game the two of them clash with other youkai (as well as one another) and witness the struggles of the students around them. Sometimes a comedic ghost story, sometimes an anti-bullying PSA, and sometimes a supernatural battle action series, Higanbana is, above all else, a story about the existential uncertainty and turmoil of being a Teen.As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice!

Quick SummaryIn this candid solo session, Kelsey answers your top marketing questions — covering pricing strategy, how to evaluate cold PR pitches, and what to do when your Instagram feels scattered and purposeless. Woven throughout are honest life updates: navigating her second pregnancy, the power of accountability, and how to embrace change as an entrepreneur.In This EpisodeWhy accountability partners (and assistant nudges) are the secret to getting things doneHow pregnancy #2 has looked very different — and why Kelsey is packing her calendar before mat leaveDebating winter babies vs. summer babies (she genuinely wants your input)The Picasso story and what it teaches you about price vs. valueHow to know if your prices are too low, too high, or just rightThe truth about cold pitch emails — when to say yes and when to runA step-by-step Instagram strategy for business owners who feel scatteredThe four-part Instagram sales funnel: Create, Connect, Collect, ConvertWhy showing up imperfectly beats waiting for perfect every timeKey TakeawaysAccountability changes everything. You'll cancel on yourself, but you won't cancel on someone else. Use that psychology intentionally — schedule with others, hire coaches, or create external check-ins to move your biggest projects forward.Pricing is a gut check. If you feel undervalued after every transaction, your prices are too low. If you feel like you're ripping someone off, they may be too high. When it feels like a mutual exchange of value — you've nailed it.Evaluate cold pitches with your wallet and your gut. Only pay for media opportunities you're 100% okay losing. Ask for traffic stats, audience demographics, and backlink terms. Some are incredible; many aren't.Brand pillars create consistency. Before you open Instagram again, define 3–4 content pillars — at least one professional, one personal — and some rules for what you won't post. Decision fatigue is the enemy of consistency.Don't stop at "create." Most business owners post and walk away. The real magic is in connecting with your audience, collecting intel on what they need, and then actually making an offer.Memorable Quotes"Picasso was pricing based on his value. He's put in thousands and thousands of hours — so to charge on an hourly basis simply does not make sense.""Once you make that leap, you can then decide: is this the right place for me, or do I need to keep moving forward? That's what you do through life — you just keep turning the next page.""The ratio of people who show up and create good content is probably 1% of Instagram users. The people who want to consume? Probably 99%. So yes, it feels competitive — but the opportunity is massive."Resources MentionedKelsey's Website: KelseyReidl.comKelsey's Instagram: @KelseyReidlInstaSales Course — Kelsey's four-hour Instagram sales funnel course (free for podcast listeners — DM "InstaSales" to @kelseyreidell on Instagram)Wave Mastermind — Kelsey's business mastermind communityYahoo!

Raidījumā pievēršamies astronomijai un kādam ļoti interesantam pētniecības tematam - kosmiskiem objektiem, kas šķietami nepieder nedz kādai zvaigžņu sistēmai, nedz citam objektam. Iedomājamies planētu, kurā nav gadalaiku, nekad neuzaust rīts un debesīs ir vien piķa melna tumsa ar maziem attāliem zvaigžņu punktiņiem. Šādas planētas klīst Visuma dzīlēs un tās ir ne tikai planētas, bet arī dažādi citi objekti. Kā var ieraudzīt to, kas nav savas zvaigznes apspīdēts, un ko zinām par šiem objektiem? Par to saruna ar Latvijas universitātes Astronomijas institūta pētnieku Ilgoni Vilku un un astronomijas entuziastu Raiti Misu.   Kā tapa Strūves ģeodēziskais loks? Vispirms stāsts par neparasto un visai ambiciozo zinātnieku darbu ar mērķi veikt mērniecības darbus no Norvēģijas līdz pat Melnajai jūrai. Kā tapa Strūves ģeodēziskais loks un kāpēc tolaik tas bija tik sarežģīts uzdevums? Latvijas Ģeotelpiskās informācijas aģentūras Ģeodēzijas departamenta direktora Ivara Liepiņa kabinetā esam pārlīkuši par senu karti, kur atzīmēti Latvijā uzmērītie punkti 19. gs. 20. gados. Runa ir par Strūves ģeodēzisko loku - triangulācijas mērījumu ķēdi, kas stiepjas teju 3000 kilometru garumā no Ziemeļu ledus okeāna līdz Melnajai jūrai, šķērsojot 10 valstu robežas. Tā ir unikāla sava laika precīzākā un garākā ģeodēzisko uzmērījumu sistēma, kura vēl šodien kalpo par pamatu visām globālās pozicionēšanas sistēmām. Bet sākums ir 1816. gads, kad pēc Napoleona kara ir saprotams, ka zemes mērījumi nav pārlieku precīzi un tāpēc neatkarīgi viens no otra divi zinātnieki - Vācijā dzimušais Fridrihs  Georgs Vilhelms Strūve un pie Narvas  dzimušais Karls Frīdrihs Tenners - tajā laikā veic mērījumus Krievijas impērijas rietumu guberņās. Tikai Latvijā abi izcilie ģeodēzisti šos mērījumus veic kopīgi. Ivars Liepiņš turpina stāstu par Strūves un Tennera darbu pirms aptuveni 200 gadiem. -- Stāstu par glīto mazputniņu sarkanrīklīti sarūpējis bioloģijas doktors un Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības pārstāvis Oskars Keišs.

Mūsdienās tiek teikts: dari to, kas tevi aizrauj, pārvērt hobiju karjerā, kļūsti par savu priekšnieku. Un iespēju patiešām ir vairāk nekā jebkad agrāk. Tu vari sākt no nulles, publicēt, radīt, eksperimentēt. Bet tajā pašā laikā - pārvērst hobiju par profesiju nozīmē kaut ko vairāk nekā tikai “darīt to, kas patīk”. Kā tas notiek reālajā dzīvē - raidījuma vadītāja Nansija Garkalne studijā izjautā lidošanas instruktoru Ēriku Osmani un "Spora lab" vadītāju Rihardu Grāvi. #SIF_MAF2025

OMG it's like, incredible to see you here! Who would have thought we'd be stuck on the same spaceship fleeing that catastrophic infestation LOL like I know I always say it but that's like. Literally? Literally a Cosmic coincidence? Astronomical even? Get it because, you know, like the stars lmao. Anyway, so, there's this 'Contamination Protocol' we're supposed to follow and I'm soooooo scared of everybody else here? They've been giving such rancid vibes, I'm really worried about what's gonna happen! But you've got my back, right? I can rely on you? Nice ^_^ That's such a relief. Hurry up and die for me, ok?

Vai pazīsti kādu, kurš nav soctīklos? Mūsdienu digitālajā realitātē rodas sajūta, ka eksistence ir cieši saistīta ar redzamību, jo ja tu neesi online, tu vari sajusties kā ārpus sistēmas vai sabiedrības. Kur galu galā problēma - pašos soctīklos vai tajā, kā mēs tos lietojam un ko no tiem sagaidām - studijā ar raidījuma vadītāju Nansiju Garkalni diskutē Vanesa Čepule, kura bauda dzīvi ārpus soctīkliem, un klīniskā psiholoģe Agnese Zagorska. #SIF_MAF2025

The Bingo Loco craze, that has captured the world's imagination is coming to Sportlann Naomh Anna on Saturday, 9th May 2026. The 3-hour interactive stage show is centered around Bingo but also includes Dance-Offs, Rave Rounds, Lip Sync Battles, Throwback Anthems, Confetti Showers and more with prizes including holidays, lawnmovers and more. Known as the 'World's Largest Bingo Rave' it promises to be a great theatre performance and an enjoyable and entertaining night with proceeds going to the Naomh Anna Leitir Móir club. Runaí Naomh Anna Seán Ó Griofa joined Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on 'Saturday Sport' to tell us more.

Ja agrāk 12. klasē lielākais stress bija matemātikas eksāmens, tad tagad sarunās parādās arī termini kā “iesaukums” un “atlase pēc nejaušības principa”, kas skan mazliet kā loterija, tikai balvā ir formastērps, nevis ceļojums uz Bali. Tā ir pavēste, datums kalendārā un izvēle, kas pēkšņi izskatās nopietnāka par to, kuru maģistra programmu izvēlēties.Vai tas ir pilsoņa pienākums vai tomēr personisks ceļš, kas jāizvēlas pašam - studijā ar raidījuma vadītāju Nansiju Garklani diskutē radio un televīzijas raidījumu vadītājs Magnuss Eriņš un skolnieks Kristers Bratjaga. #SIF_MAF2025

Runa ist sehr gut darin, Streitigkeiten zu lösen. Deshalb hat sie sich an ihrer Schule als Konfliktlotsin beworben. Und hat reichlich zu tun mit dieser Aufgabe. Mit Ryke.

Οι Κυριακές είναι για τους ζωντανούς.Αυτή η Κυριακή όμως, είναι για την Runa.Και τον Ura Hitoshi... που νόμιζε πως εκείνη η βραδιά ήταν μόνο για σαρκικές απολαύσεις.Καλώς ήρθατε στο Horror Sunday, γιατί ο τρόμος δεν ξεκουράστηκε την 7η ημέρα της δημιουργίας.ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ το επεισόδιο περιέχει σκληρές περιγραφές.

Polygonal shapes. Where do they come from? What do they want from us? Is there any way to escape their tyranny, the rigid strictures of those euclidean forms? I've heard, though only in rumor, that you can easily defeat some shapes by collapsing them in on themselves... I'm not sure exactly how to do that, but there is one thing I'm certain of: Arcueid and Ciel really should complete the final line of this love triangle and kiss each other.This month, Sara and Runa finish our journey through Tsukihime (for now) as they read through the Ciel route in the original version of the game. As with our Arcueid route coverage, this episode focuses on contrasting each version of Ciel's route,  examining the character and plot changes between them, and considering each major choice in the adaptation and remake process. How different does the original Ciel route feel without Noel and the other characters added in the remake? Does Arcueid feel as compelling in the original Ciel route as she did in the remake Ciel route? How do Ciel's relationships and connections feel in the original compared to the remake? And also, perhaps most importantly, how many cool fight scenes does she get?This episode will feature extensive spoilers for both the Ciel route and Arcueid routes in both version of the game, so please take care when listening. If you haven't checked out our previous Tsukihime episodes yet, you should do that first so that you can follow along (and to hear us flail with joy as we read the remake Ciel route).  As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice! You can always support us directly on Patreon at patreon.com/sayitinred where you will get access to all of our bonus episodes past and present, including our most recent bonus episode in which Sara shows Runa the joys and struggles of the 90's PC adventure game, Mixed-up Fairy Tales! 

Vai citu cilvēku “perfektā dzīve” soctīklos reizēm liek justies mazāk vērtīgam, pat ja saproti, ka tā nav pilnīgi īsta? Aiz skaistiem kadriem nereti slēpjas realitāte, kas netiek parādīta. Cik godīgi esam pret sevi un citiem digitālajā vidē, un kādu cenu par to maksā mūsu mentālā veselība - šoreiz raidījuma vadītāja Nansija Garkalne studijā aicinājusi sociālo tīklu satura veidotāju Aneti Gludīti un topošo psiholoģi Ketiju Ungailo. #SIF_MAF2025

Pirkums jau sen vairs nav tikai darījums - tas ir klikšķis, impulss, mazs dopamīna sprādziens. Laikā, kad pasaule deg, mēs vienalga nopērkam vēl vienu trauku komplektu, jo bija 70% atlaide. Un jautājums nav tikai “vai varu atļauties?”, bet gan “kāpēc es to vispār gribu?”. Par jaunākajām patēriņa tendencēm raidījuma vadītāja Nansija Garkalne sarunājas ar e-komercijas stratēģi Līvu Bleideli un mākslinieci Terēzi Strādnieci. #SIF_MAF2025

Dear Listeners,Do you remember the start of this year? Remember the crisp winter air, the bustling feet of travelers, the smell of oil and electricity that greeted us as we stepped onto the train together? It was such a great coincidence to see you there! Even though we've been classmates all this time, that morning on the train was the very first time you've ever spoken to me. That first conversation was such a tremendous, fate-defining moment for us both, it's hard to imagine that it was just a dream. We are still late for that test we didn't study for, though, so we'd better hurry.This month, Sara and Runa return to the Tsukihime Remake and discuss the Ciel Route, focusing on the game's other heroine and generally having a raucous good time. Unlike the Arcueid Route, which had a notable absence of Ciel through most of its runtime, the Ciel Route features both heroines prominently and also brings in more of the side characters we really enjoyed from the Arcueid Route as well. While this route diverges at the point after Shiki first kills Arcueid, the tone of the route shifts even earlier as the game has already primed readers to work through the Ciel Route and try different things this time around. The result is an incredible experience that makes some significant improvements on the Arcueid route's shortcomings while also delivering some exceptional character arcs and romance dynamics. As Shiki gets closer to Ciel, we learn just how tightly his own fate, Arcueid's old wounds, and Ciel's past trauma are all entertwined. Also, Arach rules. As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice!

Minhenes Drošības konferences akcenti. Amerikas Savienoto Valstu valsts sekretāra Marko Rubio vizīte Eiropā. Divu ātrumu Eiropa. Aktualitātes analizē Latvijas ārpolitikas institūta asociētais pētnieks un Eiropas Savienības programmas vadītājs Marts Eduards Ivaskis un Latvijas Radio ārzemju ziņu žurnālists Rihards Plūme.   Minhene. Drusku rāmāk Pagājušā gada Minhenes Drošības konference paliks vēsturē ar Savienoto Valstu viceprezidenta Vensa uzstāšanos, kas ar šokējoši spalgu blīkšķi atvēra durvis uz jaunu laikmetu transatlantiskajās attiecībās un ne tikai. 2025. gads apliecinājis, ka Vašingtona tagad mazāk vērtē ne vien līdz šim kopīgi ar Eiropu būvēto drošības arhitektūru, bet arī līdzšinējo iedibināto starptautisko attiecību praksi. Šogad prezidenta Trampa administrāciju konferencē pārstāvēja valsts sekretārs Marko Rubio, kurš tiek uztverts kā mērenāks pretsvars radikālim Vensam un arī bieži neaprēķināmajam prezidentam Trampam. Viņa uzstāšanās konferencē patiešām bija ieturēta diplomātiskā piedienīguma rāmjos, izpelnoties pat stāvovācijas, tomēr raksturot to kā „nomierinošu” nozīmētu aiz citādā iepakojuma nesaskatīt tās pašas saturiskās aprises. Bija jauki vārdi par kopīgo kultūras mantojumu un Savienotajām Valstīm kā „Eiropas bērnu”, par Vašingtonas vēlmi pēc Rietumu civilizācijas atjaunotnes. Kā laikrakstā „The Guardian” raksta itāļu politoloģe un starptautisko attiecību eksperte Natālija Toči: „Ja Rietumu civilizācija ir kopjama, kamēr [starptautisko attiecību] noteikumi nav jāievēro, tad Rubio ieskicētais redzējums būtībā ir impērijas redzējums. Šajā vīzijā Ameriku un Eiropu saista kopīgā izcelsme un reliģija; tās ir „garīgi saistītas”, [..] taču „Rietumu gadsimtu” iezīmēs rupja vara, ko pirmām un galvenām kārtām pašas impērijas ietvaros īstenos stiprie – Savienotās Valstis – pret vājajiem: mazajām un vidējā lieluma Eiropas valstīm, Kanādu un Dienvidamerikas valstīm. Impērijas ietvaros var un vajag būt institūcijām, sākot jau ar NATO. Taču ASV nodoms ir kristālskaidrs: jūs maksājat [..], bet noteikumus joprojām diktējam mēs [..]. Pasaulē būs arī citas impērijas, tostarp Krievija un Ķīna, un Amerikas impērija ar tām konkurēs. Tomēr tā ir gatava arī sadarboties, varbūt pat slepeni vienoties, īpaši, ja slepenās vienošanās cena būs jāmaksā tās koloniālajiem vasaļiem.” Ar doktores Toči pausto rezonē Dānijas premjerministres Metes Frederiksenas konferences laikā teiktais, ka Donalda Trampa vēlme atņemt Dānijai Grenlandi nekur nav zudusi. Kā galvenā antitēze Marka Rubio izpausmēm tiek uztverta Vācijas kanclera Frīdriha Merca uzstāšanās. Atzīstot, ka uz noteikumiem balstītā starptautiskā kārtība, kas izveidojās pēc Otrā pasaules kara, kad Rietumi runāja vienā balsī Savienoto Valstu vadībā, ir beigusies, un nu ir atgriezusies „lielvaru politika” ar tās „skarbajiem un bieži vien neparedzamajiem noteikumiem”, kanclers pauda, ka šajā jaunajā laikmetā Eiropas „brīvība vairs nav pašsaprotama” un tai „būs jāparāda stingrība un apņēmība, lai aizstāvētu šo brīvību”. Viens no konkrētajiem aizstāvēšanās aspektiem parādījās Francijas prezidenta Emanuela Makrona teiktajā, kur galvenais akcents bija Francijas un Vācijas sadarbība, veidojot savu kodolatturēšanas kapacitāti. Ukrainas prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis atgādināja, ka tieši Ukraina šobrīd ir tā, kas pūlas, lai Eiropas balss izskanētu arī Savienoto Valstu uzsāktajā sarunu procesā par kara izbeigšanu, un arī to, ka Ukraina sagaida savu pūliņu novērtējumu pasteidzināta iestāšanās procesa veidā. Marko brauc paglaudīt Eiropas „sarainos” Pēc uzstāšanās Minhenes drošības konferencē Savienoto Valstu valsts sekretāra Marko Rubio tālākais maršruts veda uz Bratislavu un Budapeštu, tā uzskatāmi demonstrējot, kas tagad ir Baltā nama īstenie draugi Eiropā. Īsās vizītes laikā Slovākijā, tiekoties ar premjerministru Robertu Fico un prezidentu Peteru Pelegrini, Baltā nama pārstāvis esot spriedis par aizsardzību un enerģētiku. Slovākija līdz ar tās kaimiņvalsti Ungāriju ir divas Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstis, kuras spītīgi nevēlas atsacīties no Krievijas fosilo energoresursu piegādēm, un Trampa administrācija, kā šķiet, gatava uz šo „cauruļvadu mīlu” skatīties caur pirkstiem. Pirmdien, 16. februārī, ieradies Ungārijas galvaspilsētā, Baltā nama augstais pārstāvis pauda, ka abu valstu attiecībās iestājies „zelta laikmets”, kas ilgšot tik ilgi, kamēr Viktors Orbans būšot Budapeštas varas virsotnē. Tā viņš pievienoja savu balsi tam Eiropas un pasaules labējo līderu korim, kas ņēmies „iedziedāt” odiozo „Fidesz” līderi nākamajā varas ciklā. Vēlēšanas, kā zināms, gaidāmas jau 12. aprīlī, un nu jau apmēram gadu premjera partija reitingos sīvi cīkstās ar jaunu politisku spēku – Cieņas un Brīvības partiju jeb TISZA. Tās līderis, jaunākās paaudzes ungāru konservatīvais, atšķirībā no Orbana, fokusējas uz pašmāju problēmu risināšanu un sola izlabot pašreizējā līdera pamatīgi iebojātās attiecības ar Briseli. Priekšvēlēšanu karsonis kāpinājis arī spriedzes temperatūru Budapeštas un Kijivas attiecībās, Orbanam nesen pasludinot Ukrainu par Ungārijas ienaidnieci, ciktāl tā prasot Eiropai atteikties no Krievijas energoresursu importa. „Ja jūs saskaraties ar finansiālām grūtībām, ja jūs saskaraties ar lietām, kas kavē izaugsmi, ja jūs saskaraties ar lietām, kas apdraud jūsu valsts stabilitāti, es zinu, ka prezidents Tramps būs ļoti ieinteresēts […] atrast veidus, kā sniegt palīdzību,” paziņoja Rubio. Saprotams, ka Eiropas Savienības līderu uztverē tas viss ir vēl viens apliecinājums Vašingtonas pieejai – dalīt Eiropu „labajā konservatīvajā” un „sliktajā kreisi liberālajā”, kas nozīmē tikai to, ka Marka Rubio Minhenes Drošības konferencē paustais atšķiras no valsts sekretāra Vensa pērnā gada „benefices” pēc formas, bet ne pēc satura. Jaudīgie ieņem kreiso joslu? Par divu ātrumu Eiropu runā jau sen un dažādos kontekstos. Runa nav tikai par joprojām ļoti pamanāmajām sociālekonomiskajām atšķirībām dažādu Eiropas valstu starpā, bet arī par dažādu integrācijas līmeni, kas izpaužas piederībā vai nepiederībā Šengenas zonai un eiro areālam. Taču nesen šis motīvs ieguvis jaunu saturu, savienībai skaudri izjūtot savu iepalikšanu globālās konkurētspējas biatlona distancē. Paātrinājuma meklējumu zīmē pagāja pagājušonedēļ notikušais Eiropas līderu neformālais samits Aldenbīzenas pilī Beļģijā. „Mūsu mērķim vienmēr jābūt panākt vienošanos starp visām 27 dalībvalstīm,” vēstulē samita dalībniekiem pirms tā sākuma pauda Eiropas Komisijas prezidente   Urzula fon der Leiena. „Tomēr, ja progresa vai ambīciju trūkums apdraud Eiropas konkurētspēju vai spēju rīkoties, mums nevajadzētu kautrēties izmantot līgumos paredzētās iespējas attiecībā uz ciešāku sadarbību.” Viens šādas sadarbības variants iezīmējās pāris nedēļas iepriekš, kad videokonferencē saslēdzās sešu jaudīgu Eiropas Savienības ekonomiku – Vācijas, Francijas, Itālijas, Spānijas, Nīderlandes un Polijas – finanšu ministri. Šī iniciatīva, jau nodēvēta par E6, orientēta uz sadarbību vairākās jomās, ieskaitot drošību un piegādes ķēžu nodrošināšanu. Tūdaļ gan jāsaka, ka šis netiek definēts kā kāds slēgts klubiņš, kurā aicināti tikai tie, kam attiecīgs ekonomiskais vēriens. Kā deklarējis Vācijas vicekanclers un finanšu ministrs Larss Klingbeils: „Mēs dodam impulsu, un citas valstis ir laipni aicinātas mums pievienoties.” Tātad, izšķirošais ir nevis iespējas vien, bet, pirmām kārtām, vēlēšanās. Šāda pieeja ir loģisks pretarguments politikai, kādu vispamanāmāk piekopis Ungārijas līderis Viktors Orbans, manipulējot un šantažējot ar savienības kopīgo lēmumu bloķēšanas iespēju. Tie, kuri negrib, paliek ārpus, neuzņemoties sev netīkamus pienākumus, bet netraucē darīt citiem, – kā gadījumā ar pagājušajā gadā īstenoto 90 miljardu aizņēmumu Ukrainas atbalstam, kurā nepiedalās Ungārija, Slovākija un Čehija. Tiesa, šajā pieejā slēpjas arī zināmi riski savienības integritātei. Kā problēmu definē Vācijas Starptautisko un drošības jautājumu institūta vecākais pētnieks Nikolajs fon Ondarca: „No vienas puses, pašreizējās ES procedūras augsta spiediena ģeopolitiskajā un ekonomiskajā vidē virzās pārāk lēni, tāpēc mazākas koalīciju grupas, kas vēlas rīkoties, spēj to darīt ātrāk. No otras puses, Eiropas Savienības institūcijās pastāv bažas, ka dalībvalstis varētu vienkārši izvēlēties elastīgas koalīcijas ārpus savienības ietvara.” Var piebilst, ka vēl viena vispārēja tendence, kas iezīmējusies pašreizējo globālo izaicinājumu situācijā, ir jaunu dzīvību guvusī Eiropas federalizācijas doma. Ar vienu tās versiju nesen nācis klajā Itālijas ekspremjers un bijušais Eiropas Bankas prezidents Mario Dragi. Viņa ieskatā pragmatiska federācija ir vienīgā Eiropas Savienības iespēja turēties pretim ārējiem spēkiem, kuru mērķis ir mūsu pasaules daļas sašķelšana, pakļaušana un deindustrializācija.

Par to, kas ir šīs nedēļas svarīgākie notikumu droši vien domas dalīsies. Daudziem noteikti tās ir olimpiskās spēles, kas sākas šodien, bet ko apēno agresorvalsts sportistu klātbūtne. Ir vēl daudzi gan starptautiski svarīgi, gan vietēja mēroga notikumi. Epstīna failu publicēšana izraisījusi skandālus daudzviet un ir dokumenti, kas attiecas arī uz Latviju un arī mūsu tiesībsargājošās iestādes pārbauda tur atklāto informāciju. Tikmēr vietējiem jaunumi saistās ar ar pilsētu mēriem – kāds kurš no amata aizgājis pats un kāds kurš gluži otrādi, negrasās atkāpties, lai gan tā nāktos. Runa par Ogri un Rēzekni. Aktualitātes apspriežam nedēļas notikumu apskatā Krustpunktā. Analizē Latvijas Universitātes Ekonomikas un sociālo zinātņu fakultātes pasniedzējs Mārtiņš Pričins, aģentūras LETA žurnāliste Anastasija Tetarenko-Supe, Latvijas TV žurnālists Raimonds Rudzāts, Latvijas Radio Pētnieciskās žurnālistikas daļas žurnālists Kārlis Arājs.  

Wake up! It's the year 2000 - you remember the year 2000, right? In those days, almost no one had a cell phone and the millennials that were in middle and high school at the time spent their days watching old CRT monitors, hanging out in arcades, wandering the mall after school, or murdering vampires with a pocket knife! Yeah, those were wild times back then... Kids just roamed freely, getting trapped in hotels full of zombified beasts and hanging around True Ancestors while their families wondered where they were at. In hindsight, perhaps it wasn't all so idyllic as we remember, given the grievous injuries and traumatic memory loss, but just thinking back on it fills you with nostalgia. Let's return, for just a little while, to that time...This month, Sara and Runa make good on their previous threats and read the Arcueid Route in the original version of Tsukihime (2000)! As one of the earliest  VNs covered on the podcast, it's not only an excellent period piece in its own right but also shows just how much the VN development space, and Type-Moon as a studio, has changed in the last quarter century. From different minor antagonists to tonal shifts and drastic changes in scene and character dynamics, the original Tsukihime gives players a much different experience than the remake. Is that for better? For worse? Through playing the original Arcueid route, we compare the romance between Shiki and Arcueid, the plot beats and character arcs, and the overall feel of both versions of Tsukihime and discuss the challenges and benefits of remaking such a seminal classic of the genre. As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice!

Lielākā daļa cilvēku dzīvo pilsētās, un prognozes saka, ka nākotnē šis skaitlis tikai pieaugs. Bet tad tu paskaties savā WhatsApp čatā: vienam draugam ir vistas, otram siltumnīca, trešais strādā no šķūņa ar Starlink internetu un saka, ka “uz Rīgu baigi nevelk”. Raidījuma vadītāja Nansija Garkalne ar pilsētas fotogrāfi Madaru Šaicāni un lauku muzikantu Jāni Niedru diskutē, vai tiešām lauki mūsdienās ir tikai par gumijas zābakiem un malkas šķūni, bet pilsēta par sastrēgumiem un mūžīgo steigu? Iespējams, ka problēmas mums ir vienas un tās pašas - mainīga ir tikai dekorācija - putnu skaņas vai lifta mūzika? #SIF_MAF2025

Kas mudina būt cilvēcīgam vistumšākajos laikos, kad palīdzīgas rokas sniegšana var nest traģiskas sekas pašam? Kur saduras vispārcilvēcīgas vērtības un morāle un sākas pašsaglabāšanās instinkts? Iepazīstam Žaņa Lipkes dzīvesstāstu. Kas bija šis vienkāršais strādnieks un kāds bija viņa veikums ebreju glābšanā Otrā pasaules kara laikā? Raidījuma viesi vēsturnieks, Latvijas vēstures institūta direktors un vadošais pētnieks Uldis Neiburgs un muzeja "Žaņa Lipkes memoriāls" direktore un publiciste Lolita Tomsone. Holokausta liecinieka monogrāfija. Saruna ar Marģeru Vestermani. 2. daļa 2025. gada septembrī savu simtgadi svinēja vēsturnieks, muzeja “Ebreji Latvijā” dibinātājs, ilggadējs vadītājs un aizvien kurators Marģers Vestermanis. Jubilejas brīdī dienasgaismu ieraudzīja viņa ilgi lolotā grāmata “Cilvēcība tomēr nebija mirusi”. Ar Marģeru Vestermani tikāmies pagājušā gada nogalē, un ir apritējis mēnesis kopš mūsu sarunas pirmās daļas šajā raidījumā. Tajā izcēlām to, kā vēl pirms Otrā pasaules kara pieņēmās spēkā represijas pret ebrejiem, par Vestermaņa sāpīgo pieredzi Rīgas geto, kā arī ģimenes zaudēšanu Rumbulas masu slaktiņos nacistu okupācijas laikā. Taču grāmatas nosaukums jau saka priekšā, kā arī milzīgas nežēlības apstākļos bija cilvēki, kuri ebrejiem sniedza palīdzīgu roku. Ceturtā un piektā nodaļa stāsta par ebreju glābēju fenomenu, ir uzskaitīti vārdi un uzvārdi šiem glābējiem un izglābto cilvēku skaits. Šoreiz sarunas otrā daļa, interesējamies, cik ilgā laika posmā vēsturnieks ir apkopojis grāmatā ietvertos datus. Runa ir par desmitgadēm. Kāpēc tā, to skaidro Marģers Vestermanis.

Vai esi kādreiz "čatiņam" lūdzis uzrakstīt uzrakstīt personīgu ziņu draugam vai stāstījis dienā piedzīvoto, cerot saņemt uzmundrinājumu vai padomu? Reizēm šķiet, ka čatboti saprot labāk, nekā draugi, uzklausa un nemēģina strīdēties. Liekas, ka viņam var uzticēt pat visslēptākas domas, nesaņemot pretim nosodījumu. Ja mākslīgais intelekts ir mūsu ikdienas padomdevējs, palīgs darbā un mācībās, vai tas var kļūt par sarunu biedru un partneri? Par to, ko un cik daudz var uzticēt čatam, raidījuma vadītāja Nansiju Garkalne studijā diskutēs ar Riga Tech Girls pārstāvi un kiberdrošības eksperti Elvīru Zaltāni un mūzķi Raienu Šaubergu (@i.mean.love).

2025 is Dying - Read  Indie VN's to kill it faster!Happy New Year, Dear Listeners, and thank you for once again joining us on this delightful journey into the vast and delightful realm of Indie Visual Novels. In our Indie VN Compilation episodes, Sara and Runa each read a handful of small visual novels produced by independent teams or sometimes even solo developers, many of which are free and if not are pretty cheap, and all of which offer their own unique and exquisite delights. From VNs made for game jams to delightful gay fluff to intense vampire melodramas to Isekai'd Dark Knights to the epic highs and lows of being trans in high school, we'll tell you about some games you might have missed but definitely need to check out! In these Indie Game Compilation Track episodes we want to highlight some of the incredible indie VNs we've played recently and get people excited about the things happening in Indie Visual Novel development spaces. We want to not only showcase the amazing breadth of work coming from Indie developers but also talk about some of our favorite games, many of which touch on subjects, characters, and experiences we rarely get the chance to see in games from larger studios. You can find a list of each game we played below and we encourage you to play along with us, and go searching for other Indie visual novels as well!    Most of these games are free and if not, fairly cheap (though please tip the creators if you are able), and you can read most of them inside of an hour or two. In fact, we want YOU, dear listener, to pick at least one of these games to play after you listen, and then tell us about it! You can also check our Patreon, where listeners and patrons can submit either a short audio clip or a few sentences telling us about an Indie VN you've played and enjoyed recently! We may even include your submission on our next Indie VN Compilation Track episode (only if you want, that is).  Games discussed in this episode:Char's EnnuiThe Mysterious Thief; Forget Me NotDramatic IronyDevil's LiminalHomunculus HotelAdult Life Yuri Bundle by Team ANPIMParfum NostalgiqueTaking my Dark Knight Girlfriend to the corner storeCycle

Piektdienās atskatāmies uz svarīgākajiem nedēļas notikumiem. Ir gājis raibi un tēmas, par ko runāt, ir dažādas. Valsts prezidents atdeva Saeimai pārskatīšanai izmaiņas Autoceļu nodevu likumā, par kurām sāka vairāk runāt jau pēc budžeta pieņemšanas. Sabiedrisko mediju temats nepazūd no uzmnanības loka Latvijā –būs nākamais mēģinājums apstiprināt trešo sabiedrisko mediju uzraugu padomes locekli. Bet Lietuvas galvaspilsētā mītiņā sava sabiedriskā medija aizstāvībai sanāca 10 tūkstoši protestētāju. Tikmēr tas, kas notiek okeāna viņā pusē arvien dara bažīgus. Runa ir ne tikai par miera plānu Ukrainai, bet arī ASV drošības stratēģiju. Gaišā nots šīs nedēļas notikumu virknē – sākas labdarības maratons "Dod pieci!". Krustpunktā aktualitātes vērtē Latvijas Universitātes Ekonomikas un sociālo zinātņu fakultātes pasniedzējs, pētnieks Mārtiņš Pričins, aģentūras LETA žurnāliste Anastasija Tetarenko-Supe un portāla "LASI.lv" galvenais redaktors Jānis Žilde.  

Vīrietim jābūt stipram, bet arī maigam, līderim, bet empātiskam, neatkarīgam, bet vienlaikus emocionāli pieejamam. Signāli digitālajā pasaulē un sabiedrībā ir pat ļoti pretrunīgi. Vai mīti par vīrieti, kurš nekad neraud, joprojām ir dzīvi vai varbūt ir tapusi jauna, mūsdienīga vīrišķības versija , kurā vīrietis var būt vienkārši cilvēks? Par to kāda ir vīrieša loma mūsdienās raidījuma vadītāja Nansija Garkalne iztaujās mūziķi Justu Sirmo un uzņēmēju Mārtiņu Mičuli.

Valoda ir dzīva, kamēr tajā runā, bet tai ir nākotne, ja to turpina arī pētīt. Vairs nav tie laiki, kad valodu izpēte nozīmē tikai garum garas grāmatu un pierakstu lapas vai mutvārdu ekspedīcijas; mūsdienās palīdz digitālās tehnoloģijas un to paveikto labi redzam jau šodien, ikdienā izmantojot mākslīgo intelektu vai transkripciju latviešu valodā. Kā latviešu, lībiešu un latgaliešu valodas atrod savu vietu arī digitālajā pasaulē? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā sarunājas Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Rēzeknes akadēmijas pētniece Antra Kļavinska un Latvijas Universitātes Matemātikas un informātikas institūta vadošā pētniece, DHELI projekta valodas pētnieku grupas koordinatore Baiba Saulīte. Vai valoda mūsdienās var vēl dzīvot bez digitālās vides? "Diez vai var dzīvot, jo mēs saprotam, ka valoda visbiežāk tiek lietota arī digitālajā vidē mūsdienās daudz vairāk nekā kādreiz, mēs varam iegūt informāciju, kas ir rakstīta internetā, vai sazināmies biežāk ar tuviniekiem "WhatsApp", nevis mutiski," vērtē Baiba Saulīte "Es teiktu, ka nav iespējams, ka valoda paliek dzīva, ja tā netiek lietota digitālajā vidē." "Dažādās vietnēs pēta lingvistisko vitalitāti, sevišķi retāk lietotajām un mazajām valodām. Viens no aspektiem ir funkcionēšana digitālajā vidē, kas tiek ņemts vērā, arī vērtējot valodas vitalitāti un spēju turpmāk pastāvēt. Un sevišķi jaunā paaudze vairs nelieto, piemēram, vārdnīcas papīra formātā, bet galvenokārt jau izmanto digitālos resursus," papildina Antra Kļavinska. "Latviešu valodai ir diezgan labi digitālajā vidē. Domāju, ka neviens vairs nevar savu ikdienu iedomāties bez vārdnīcas "Tezaurs", kas paliek arvien labāka un labāka. Kur var atrast ne tikai vārdu pēc pamatformas, bet arī pēc dažādām formām locījumos. Var iegūt ļoti plašu informāciju," atzīst Baiba Saulīte. "Tāpat ir ļoti labas iespējas aplūkot konkrētu vārdu lietojumu dažādos kontekstos apjomīgos tekstu datos jeb korpusos un meklēt tur pēc īpašām pazīmēm. Piemēram, atrast visus darbības vārda saņemt teikuma priekšmetus - kas saņem. Latviešu valodai ir ļoti attīstījušies tieši pēdējos gados valodas resursi digitālajā vidē, arī ļoti mūsdienīgi un arī starptautiski atzīti un savietojami. Tas, kas ir marķēts mūsu datos, ir līdzīgi marķēts arī citām valodām, līdz ar to starp valodām var salīdzināt dažādas pazīmes." Kāpēc esperanto valoda nekļuva par universālu saziņas līdzekli? Esperanto ir mākslīgi radīta valoda, kuru izveidoja 19. gadsimta otrajā pusē ebreju ārsts un poliglota Ludvigs Zāmenhofs ar domu veidot vienu ideālo valodu, kas palīdzētu tautām saprasties. Par esperanto valodu pasaules kontekstā stāsta valodniece Ina Druviete, Latvijas esperanto asociācijas prezidente Margarita Želve stāsta, cik šīs valodas pratēju un interesentu ir Latvijā. Bet sižeta iesākumā tā autore iepazīstina ar sevi esperanto valodā. "Bonan matenon!  Mia nomo estas Zane. – Labrīt, mans vārds ir Zane."  Runa ir par savulaik mākslīgi veidotu valodu – esperanto, aptuvenā tulkojumā no romāņu valodām  – „cerība”. Esperanto ir darināta no romāņu un ģermāņu valodām un šajā valodā šobrīd pēc neoficiāliem datiem runā aptuveni 2 miljoni pasaules iedzīvotāju.  Latvijā  šī valoda bija ļoti populāra pagājušā gadsimta 20.-30. gados. Arī padomju laikā līdz pat PSRS sabrukumam Latvijas esperanto asociācijā bija vērojama liela aktivitāte. Par to, kāda šobrīd ir situācija ar esperanto runātājiem Latvijā, stāsta asociācijas prezidente Margarita Želve Margarita Želve stāsta, ka reizi trijos gados notiek Baltijas esperanto dienas, uz kurām parasti kopā sanāk vidēji 120-200 dalībnieku no 20-30 pasaules valstīm. Kā iemeslu tam, ka interese par šo valodu ir kritusies, Latvijas esperanto asociācijas  prezidente min angļu valodas popularitāti. Tam arī daļēji piekrīt valodniece, Latvijas Universitātes profesore Ina Druviete. Par to, kāpēc esperanto nav tik izplatīta kā agrāk, kāds ir tagadējais šīs valodas statuss un kuras no mākslīgi konstruētām  valodām ir populāras šobrīd, Inas Druvietes skaidrojums.   -- Par grāmatu, kas iedvesmojusi jauniem pētījumiem vai atklājumiem, stāsta Latvijas astronomijas biedrības pārstāvis Mārtiņš Gills. Viņš izvēlējies Randala Munro (Randall Munroe) grāmatu "What if..." (Ja nu...). Kā vēsta grāmatas apakšvirsraksts - tās ir "Nopietnas zinātniskas atbildes uz absurdiem hipotētiskiem jautājumiem".  Mārtiņš Gills atzīst, ka šī grāmata noder prāta uzmundrināšanai. To var atvērt jebkurā vietā un izlasīt kādu jautājumu un sniegto atbildi.  

CLIMATE ACTION RADIO SHOWDECEMBER 1ST 2025PRODUCED BY VIVIEN LANGFORD RUNA KHAN WINS EARTHSHOT PRIZE THE HOLISTIC WORK OF "FRIENDSHIP" AND ITS MANGROVE RESTORATION IS RECOGNISED IN RIO This show is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr Saleemul Huq, Bangladeshi climate scientist, friend of this radio show and determined participant in every COP. Guests:Runa Khan Founder of Friendship NGOShamikh Badra - Palestinian Filmaker and speaker at a Rising Tide event in Sydney https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/28/palestinian-australian-assaulted-abused-sydney-train-not-hate-speech-ntwnfbRising Tide Speakers and audience at the Green Left Office. This show follows on our reporting from the Belem COP. Runa Khan attended that meeting in Brazil after receiving her one million pound prize from Earthshot in Rio. We hope that the methods demonstrated by Friendship in Bangladesh will be a model for other communities on flood prone deltas. "From its beginnings as a single floating hospital, Friendship has grown into a dedicated social purpose organisation. Today, it reaches more than 7.5 million people annually with healthcare services, provides over 8.3 million days of emergency food support, and gives more than 80,000 people access to safe drinking water in coastal areas." Now they are restoring mangroves which help fix the climate. Runa's values shine through in her description of restoring dignity to  refugees from Myanmar.Meanwhile, the UN has described  the violent displacement of Rohyngya people who are still fleeing to Bagladesh as genocide. Is there is a connection between the ample fossil fuels in Rakhine state and the genocide occuring there?It's not  a great leap to our second guest , Mr Shamikh Badra who describes the suffering of his Palestinian relatives in Gaza. As winter comes on their tents are awash with sewerage. He sees ecocide as well as genocide and like the Rohyngya  they are being displaced from a territory whose offshore oil and gas are coveted.The Gaza Marine Story -  by Michael Barron shows how  " recognition of Palestine, particularly by states with large oil firms registered in their jurisdiction, would effectively end the legal ambiguity, and provide the PA with not only a new secure source of income, but regular supplies of energy independent of Israel."The Guardian article by Patrick Wintour Diplomatic editor  20th July 2025https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/20/recognised-palestinian-state-could-develop-disputed-gas-resources-expert-says The Earthshot PrizeFor over two decades, Friendship has worked in some of the most climate-vulnerable regions of Bangladesh — from the shifting river islands in the north to the cyclone-prone coastal belt and the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans. Our mission has always been guided by an integrated, human-centred approach that links the environment with social and economic development, through scalable, replicable, nature-based and locally-led development solutions.From dismantlable, relocatable schools, to solar villages, to floating hospitals, raised plinths, each of Friendship's many interventions works in congruence with the other. Friendship's mangrove afforestation programme — recognised under the Earthshot Prize — is the largest privately led initiative of its kind in Bangladesh. It combines nature-based and locally led adaptation to create climate and livelihood resilience. To date, the programme has planted over 650,000 trees across more than 200 hectares of mangroves, prepared an additional 120 hectares for future planting, and safeguarded 62 kilometres of vulnerable shoreline. Beyond environmental restoration, the initiative supports community livelihoods, strengthens coastal protection, and builds lasting ownership through participatory management.The mangrove forests shield villages from the worst impacts of deadly cyclones.  The Sundarbans on Bangladesh's southern coast are sunject to terrible cyclones. In 2007 Cyclone Sidr killed over 3400people. By 2020 when Cyclone Amphan hit, with wind speeds of similar velocity (240km per hour!) only 109 lives were lost. This is due to the excellent early warning systems and community organisation.Now by restoring the mangrove forests they are protecting over 125,000 people to date. These mangrove forests also act as a major carbon sink, storing vast amounts of carbon and enabling communities to benefit from a “blue economy” future.   

Have you ever glimpsed the truly ephemeral? Is it in the melting of a snowflake upon a cool window pane? The falling petals of a flower in spring? The laughter of a child in summer? Is it the brief and fleeting connection between lovers who might only meet once every thousand years? Is it the whim of the inscrutable and inhuman? Or is it, as so often is the case, the moment when a Type-Moon protagonist feels like he's got his whole life together and everything is really looking up for once?This month, Sara and Runa begin reading through Tsukihime ~ A Piece of Blue Glass Moon~ (2021), the remake of the vastly popular and influential game from Type-Moon, Tsukihime (2000). While the original game features more branching pathways and romance routes to explore, this installment of the remake focuses on Arcueid and Ciel's routes and for this episode, we'll be discussing Aruceid's route in particular. We begin following Shiki, a young boy who wakes in a hospital bed after a serious accident has left him near death. Throughout the world and across every surface he can see, there are pulsing, eerie red lines that cut through his vision. He discovers that, with very little effort, he can cut along these lines to utterly destroy anything with ease. Shiki Tohno, as it happens, can see Death - those lines represent the points at which anything be it human or monster or object can most easily fall to oblivion. After receiving a pair of glasses from a cool older lady who we don't meet again in this game (See Witch on the Holy Night for more info on her), Shiki strives to lead a normal, well-adjusted life with his new foster family. For the next seven years, at least, he is successful.After receiving word that his father, Makihisa, has died, Shiki is summoned away from his foster family and back to the Tohno mansion. There he meets Akiha, his younger sister who now acts as head of the family, and the maids Kohaku and Hisui who manage the household's domestic affairs. While he struggles to acclimate himself to this new environment, he suffers a bout of what is surely Normal Protagonist's Anemia and takes a moment to sit down on a park bench. That's when his life changes course entirely. That's when he sees the beautiful vampire with bewitching red eyes cross his path. That's when he decides that now, for the first time in memory, he wants to kill.Content WarningsDiscussion of sexual assault - 01:51:20 - 01:55:45

Yours is an old house, distinguished as much by its history as by its adamant defiance of decay and weathering. Its halls are lavish and narrow, its chambers dark and calm, and its rooms never quite feel large enough to fill its frame. One evening, the lady of the house calls you to her side. She beckons you from within her canopy bed, the drapery down and her voice unusually coarse. She says 'Come here, dear listener,' as she crawls on all fours. She says 'A little nearer...' as you part the curtains. She says 'Be still, and do promise you will not scream?' as she draws you close with one hand, and then another, and then another, and then another still. 'It is time,' she says at last, 'to share ghost stories.'Happy Halloween!This month, Sara and Runa discuss Iwakura Aria (2025), a game which just arrived in English at the end of summer. This tale of gothic suspense sports lavish sprites created in the style of oil paintings, watercolor and charcoal cut-ins, and a lush sense of style and design that often leaves you wondering whether you're really in 1966, when the events of the story take place, or further back in a Victorian drama. The game follows protagonist Ichiko, a 16 year old orphan who has just returned to the orphanage where she grew up after leaving her previous job due to the sexual harassment she faced from the men there. A well-dressed gentleman finds her on the street one day as she tends to a market stall for the orphanage - among the wares on offer, the orphanage staff have placed one of Ichiko's own paintings of a bluebird in flight. This gentleman, Amane Iwakura, takes notice of this painting and offers Ichiko a job working as a maid in his estate. With few other prospects, Ichiko agrees and it is at that manor where she meets Amane's daughter, Aria. Immediately struck by Aria's beauty and poise, Ichiko is flustered and feels she is blessed to be not only in such a lovely house, but to be maid to a beautiful girl like Aria. The house, however, is not without its mysteries and secrets. The distant sound of a crying baby rings in Ichiko's ears on her first nights there, though no baby resides in the manor. An umbilical cord preserved in a box on a shelf, a missing volume of architectural plans, the strange parties Amane hosts in which Aria entertains his associates, and several other curious details give Ichiko some cause for concern. More than anything, however, she is concerned for Aria who sometimes wakes cold as a corpse, barely eats, and seems so pale that even the slightest sunlight might burn her. As Ichiko falls in love with Aria, the secrets of the house and Aria's past threaten to crush them both without mercy or hesitation. As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice!

Nelaimes gadījumi ar īrētajiem mikromobilitātes rīkiem raisījuši plašas diskusijas, kā sakārtot to lietošanu, lai pie šādiem braucamajiem netiku bērni, un lai braucēji paši būtu uzmanīgāki. Krustpunktā diskutē Ceļu satiksmes drošības dienesta satiksmes drošības eksperts Oskars Irbītis, koplietošanas "e-velosipēdu" operatora "RIDE Mobility" izpilddirektors Edgars Jākobsons, Rīgas domes priekšsēdētājs Viesturs Kleinbergs (Progresīvie), Patērētāju tiesību aizsardzības centra direktores vietniece Linda Rinkule. Sazināmies ar Latvijas Dzelzceļa galveno tehnisko inspektoru Daini Zvaneru. Kamēr nenotiek nelaime, mēs nerīkojamies. Tā pēc pagājušajā nedēļā notikušās traģēdijas daudzi rakstīja sociālajos medijos. Runa ir par negadījumu, kurā iznomāts elektriskais mopēds pakļuva zem vilciena un bojā gāja divas pusaudzes. Traģēdija ir izvērtusies arī pretstāvē starp mopēda iznomātāju un Patērētāju tiesību aizsardzības centru, kā arī Rīgas domi. Kam lielāka taisnība? Te daudziem domas dalās. Bet viens ir skaidrs - ir notikusi traģēdija, kura nedrīkstēja notikt. Ir virkne faktoru, kas būtu ļāvuši šo traģēdiju novērst, ja vien katrs rīkotos citādi. Tā kā ir, arī nedrīkst palikt. Tāpēc lielais jautājums ir - kādas mācības mums ir jāizdara pēc šīs šausminošās nelaimes? Par to arī diskusija Krustpunktā.

[Ship's Log, 26th September, Stellar Year 892]Your transport ship, already late in its departure due to congestion around the ports on Ganymede, alerts you to yet another delay. It seems that a cargo ship is emitting a distress signal and the captain of your transport will be diverting your vessel to provide assistance. The other passengers grumble and you feel your own jaw clench – you'll definitely be too late to check in to your hotel now. As the captain approaches the distressed vessel, you glance through the port windows and your stomach lurches. The cargo ship is now clearly in view, and also clearly derelict. Most of its heat shielding is peeling away, there's a terrible gash along the bow, and its airlocks are all conspicuously open. Your captain comes over the intercom to notify you that they'll be docking soon, and that's when the power goes out.At least nothing bad ever happens when you visit abandoned ships deep in outer space.This month, Sara and Runa read through Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog (2025), a game styled after classic PC-98 Adventure games and Visual Novels. You begin as most Adventure games of the era began, by entering your character's name and then selecting your pronouns. Then you're immediately dropped into the trauma of a high stakes interstellar battle, helpless as your comrades are all shot down around you while you can only hear their voices through your radio. The story cuts forward then to the present setting as your protagonist sets foot on their newly assigned vessel: The Jovian Fleet Ship Gun-Dog. Aboard the Gun-Dog you quickly meet your protagonist's girlfriend (as well as the ship's second-in-command), Cassie. Cassie is bright and bubbly and happy to see you as you make your rounds as the Gun-Dog's new security officer, meeting the other eccentric crew members and familiarizing yourself with the mission at hand. According to Captain Merys Bartermews, you'll be accompanying the JFS O'Brien in an investigation of a mysterious signal at the edges of known space. Despite clashing with the pilots of the ship's Armored Frames, you report a completely normal patrol to the captain and prepare for rendezvous with the O'Brien. That's when the power goes out, Cassie collapses, and your communications with the O'Brien are cut off entirely. From there you confront the protagonist's traumatic past, a terrifying mystery, possible mutiny, and your own girlfriend's secrets. Normal things, at least on the edge of known space. As always, if you enjoy our show please consider writing us a review on your podcast platform of choice!

This week, a special road trip episode featuring Celtic-American Roots music “super group” RUNA recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield Kansas, a four day acoustic music marathon and arts & crafts fair held every September in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound, that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Celebrating fourteen years together as a band, Celtic-American Roots music “super group” RUNA continues to push the boundaries of Irish folk music into the Americana and roots music formats. Interweaving the haunting melodies and exuberant tunes of Ireland and Scotland with the lush harmonies and intoxicating rhythms of jazz, bluegrass, flamenco and blues, they offer a thrilling and redefining take on traditional music. Seeking to preserve and continue a traditional culture in a modern age, RUNA creates the backbone of its signature roots sound from the musical and geographical diversity of its individually established band members.  Their strive for excellence and creativity blazes a trail for the future of folk music, earning them the reputation as one of the most innovative Irish folk groups of this generation. RUNA consists of vocalist Shannon Lambert-Ryan of Philadelphia, Dublin-born guitarist, Fionán de Barra, acclaimed drummer Cheryl Prashker (Full Frontal Folk, Jonathan Edwards), fiddler Jake James of New York, and three-time Canadian fiddle champion Tom Fitzgerald, who also plays mandolin. - https://runamusic.com/about In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers an archival recording of Ozark original Mike McGhee performing the Classic Child ballad “Barbara Allen,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.

An album pin is a lapel pin with artwork inspired by a specific album or song from an album. It could be the actual album artwork or it could be inspired by a specific track on the album. The best album pins stand out on their own. They appeal to more than just your fans. It is simple, bold, and visually engaging. However, what truly makes it an “album pin” is that the purchaser also gets a digital album with their pin. I have an entire blog on my website with details including templates for you to make your own album pin jacket. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!
