Tokių prastų biologijos ir fizikos valstybinių brandos egzaminų (VBE) rezultatų dar nėra buvę per pastaruosius 11 metų. Štai savo noru pasirenkamo biologijos valstybinio brandos egzamino neišlaikė net 14,5 proc. laikiusiųjų, o fizikos - 11,4 proc. Iki šiol didžiuliu neišlaikiusiųjų nuošimčiu kasmet gąsdindavo tik privalomoji (stojant į aukštąsias mokyklas) matematika, dabar jai pavymui jau ir fizika bei biologija.Tiesa, indikacijų, kad kažkas vyksta negerai su biologija ir fizika jau ir pernai buvo matyti - fizikos VBE pernai neišlaikė net 11,5 proc. abiturientų, o biologijos egzamino - 8,2 proc. Didžiausias keistumas tas, kad abu egzaminus pasirenka tie mokiniai, kurie įsivaizduoja, kad moka tuos dalykus. O ir jei mokinys turi to dalyko neigiamą pažymį metiniame trimestre, jam neleidžiama laikyti to dalyko egzamino. Šiuo atveju mokiniai turėjo teigiamus šių dalykų pažymius trimestre. Be to, ir mokytojai, ir mokiniai pasitikėjo, kad jiems pavyks išlaikyti šiuos egzaminus.Kiek mokinių teiks apeliacijas dėl fizikos egzamino, dar nežinia. Mat jo rezultatus Nacionalinė švietimo agentūra (NŠA) paskelbė tik antradienio pavakare. O štai biologijos apeliacijų skaičius išaugo kartais - net 13 kartų. Jei pernai buvo pateikta tik 31-a apeliacija, tai šiemet - net 407.NŠA atstovai tikina, girdi, prastus biologijos egzamino rezultatus nulėmė daugiausia profesinių mokyklų mokinių rezultatai.Ar tikrai taip? Ar tikrai profesinių mokyklų mokiniai kalti dėl tragiškai krentančių valstybinių brandos egzaminų įverčių, kai kartelė, palyginti su pernai, nuleista 10 taškų: nuo 35 iki 25 taškų? O ir kaip tada būtų atrodę rezultatai, jei nebūtų buvusi pažeminta kartelė? Tad ar mes vis dar išmokome mokinius? Ir ar tikrai brandos egzaminais pamatuojame jų brandą?LRT radijo švietimo laidoje dalyvauja: švietimo, mokslo ir sporto viceministras Jonas Petkevičius, biologijos mokytojas ir korepetitorius, vertinęs kelių dešimčių apeliantų darbus Paulius Sungaila bei Trakų Vytauto Didžiojo gimnazijos fizikos ir informatikos mokytojas Andrius Storta.Laidos vedėja Jonė KučinskaitėVed.

Net jeigu glaudės ir bikiniai yra smulkiausi mūsų spintų drabužiai, jie neišvengiamai kelia daugiausiai diskusijų, klausimų ir net teisinių ginčų. Kol vienos moterys kovoja dėl teisės degintis be liemenėlės, kitos turi teismuose įrodinėti, kad burkinis paplūdimyje pavojaus niekam nekelia. Tad ką iš tiesų mums sako maudymosi aprangos istorija? Ir kas turi teisę spręsti, kiek nuogo kūno gali būti viešame paplūdimyje?Ved. Deimantė Bulbenkaitė

Kol dauguma Europos Sąjungos valstybių jaunus gydytojus į regionus vilioja didesniais atlyginimais ir geresnėmis darbo sąlygomis, Lietuva renkasi kitą kelią. Seimas nusprendė steigti papildomas valstybės finansuojamas rezidentūros vietas, tačiau jas pasirinkę gydytojai penkerius metus turės dirbti regione. Kritikai primena, kad valstybės finansuojamų rezidentūros vietų Lietuvoje ir taip daugelį metų neužtekdavo visiems medicinos studijas baigusiems absolventams. Kasmet stigdavo apie 40-60 rezidentūros vietų. O nebaigus rezidentūros, negali Lietuvoje tapti ir dirbti gydytoju specialistu.Jaunųjų gydytojų organizacijos įspėja, kad toks modelis gali sumažinti savivaldybių motyvaciją konkuruoti dėl specialistų didesniais atlyginimais ir geresnėmis darbo sąlygomis, kaip tai yra Skandinavijos šalyse, Vokietijoje ar ir daugelyje kitų senos demokratijos Europos šalių.Opozicija kelia ir lygiateisiškumo klausimą – kodėl tokie įsipareigojimai taikomi tik gydytojams. Bet jie netaikomi nei mokytojams, nei inžinieriams, nei teisininkams, nei vadybininkams, nei finansininkams, nors pastarųjų taip pat stinga regionuose.Be kita ko, daugelyje ES šalių rezidentai pirmiausia yra gydytojai darbuotojai, o ne studentai. Tad dalis medikų bendruomenės įspėja, kad naujoji tvarka gali paskatinti daugiau jaunų gydytojų rezidentūrą rinktis užsienio šalyse. Tad ko iš tiesų tokiu įstatymu siekia valdančioji dauguma? Ar tai nebus jų dar vienas įsišovimas sau į koją?LRT radijo švietimo laidoje dalyvauja medikas, naujosios tvarkos kritikas Marius Čiurlionis ir teisės profesorius dr. Dainius Žalimas.Ved.

Trial Attorney Tad Eckenrode of Eckenrode-Bauman joins Bill Kanasky, Jr, Ph.D. to talk about the current state of medical malpractice litigation. Bill and Tad discuss the reasons for a lack of trust in the healthcare system. They talk about questioning strategies in voir dire to identify more specifically where juror frustrations with the healthcare system stems from and the challenge with not being able to discuss insurance with jurors. Tad and Bill also discuss the challenges with medical malpractice cases in the correctional facilities space and their perspectives on the use of AI in healthcare and the risks of using AI in both the patient/provider relationship and in the legal process. Last, Bill and Tad talk about witness pivoting, the problems that occur when a witness pivots, and the problem with attorneys who encourage their witnesses to ramble and be evasive in order to keep opposing counsel from getting a clean transcript.

This year's projected Super El Niño forming in the Pacific could become one of the strongest climate oscillations in over a century. As regions prepare for the effects, and continue to adapt to extreme heat waves, intensifying storms, accelerating ice loss, and increasingly erratic rainfall, scientists and citizens alike are questioning what our new normal will look like under accelerated global heating. From climate basics to unfolding atmospheric research, what do we know about the trajectory our climate is currently on, and what gaps of knowledge still need to be filled? In this episode, Nate is joined by earth scientist and thermodynamicist Tad Patzek for an exploration of the mechanics and mathematics of global heating itself. Tad explains why CO₂ has such an outsized effect in contrast to its small concentration, how water vapor amplifies the greenhouse effect, and why climate models sometimes get things wrong. His new research, currently under peer review at Geophysical Research Letters, identifies a declining Earth albedo as an additional accelerant of warming over the past 26 years. Combined with accelerating ocean heat absorption, melting ice sheets, and the dynamics of an approaching Super El Niño, Tad argues the warming curve itself may be bending upward. Is the projected Super El Niño a signal of more extreme climatic swings to come? What sort of research is being done to explore and predict climate feedback dynamics that are only partly understood? And if the warming curve is indeed bending upward, what does it mean to plan, prepare, or adapt when the system itself may be moving faster than our models anticipated? (Conversation recorded on June 18th, 2026) About Tad Patzek: Tad Patzek is Professor Emeritus of Petroleum and Chemical Engineering at the Earth Sciences Division and Director of the Ali I. Al-Naimi Petroleum Engineering Research Center in KAUST, Saudi Arabia. Formerly, he was the Lois K. and Richard D. Folger Leadership Professor and Chairman of the Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Austin. Additionally, he was previously a Professor of Geoengineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to joining Berkeley, he was a researcher at Shell Development, a research company managed for 20 years by M. King Hubbert. He is also a full Presidential Professor in Poland, which is the highest honor, and also served as a member of the DOI Macondo Well Advisory Committee. Patzek's current research involves mathematical and numerical modeling of earth systems with emphasis on fluid flow in soils and rocks that can be hydrofractured. He is working on the thermodynamics and ecology of human survival, and food and energy supply for humanity. His current emphasis is the use of unconventional natural gas as a fuel bridge to the possible new energy supply schemes for the world. Patzek is a coauthor of over 400 papers and reports, and most recently, he has cumulated his research into his upcoming book Thermal Power and Climate Change: A Data-Driven Analysis of Cause and Effect, 1800-2100 (Preprint available now) Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

In which The Curmudgeons revisit the year before grunge exploded into the mainstream. And 1990 was indeed a really important year for the development of our beloved genre. Mother Love Bone was on the cusp of hitting it big until frontman Andrew Wood, a beloved figures in the Seattle scene, died of a heroin overdose. The band's album Apple, in the can but not yet released, was effectively tanked by its record label, robbing Wood of a posthumous star turn. But another enigmatic blonde guy started preparing for his own star turn in 1990, as Nirvana released a titanic single that signaled its pivot from sludgier sonics to a more commercial, song-driven approach. Another essential grunge band, Alice in Chains, also had its first leap toward superstardom in 1990 with the release of their downbeat glam metal juggernaut Facelift. By the end of this important year, the veritable stage was set for rock's last truly special phenomeon to become huge.

In this episode, I sit down with Tad Hussey and Brandon Hudson from KIS Organics to analyze my soil test results and uncover what may be holding the soil back. We break down what a soil test can and can't tell you, how to interpret key numbers like pH, chloride, organic matter, and EC, and where AI may or may not be useful in the process. The conversation also covers the Stash Nutrients x KIS Organics collaboration, what's actually in the soil mix, and what really matters when it comes to plant quality and secondary metabolites. Tad and Brandon also share practical advice on flushing, runoff water, reamending soil, and what to test after making corrections.Support the show

Vasaras sākums nozīmē rosīgu laiku putnu bērnistabā. Māju pagalmos var sastapt pirmos mājas strazdu mazuļus, kurus vecāki steidz barot. Taču ir kāds putns Latvijā, kas ir slinks mazuļu aprūpētājs un labprātāk šīs rūpes uzgrūž kādam citam. Par dzeguzi stāsta Latvijas Ornitoloģijas biedrības valdes priekšsēdētājs Viesturs Ķerus. "Dzeguzes kūkošana ir skaļa, skanīga, tīra, skaista skaņa un, iespējams, tāpēc arī dzeguze ir kultūrā svarīgākajām putnu balsīm. No senām tautasdziesmām un ticējumiem līdz Imanta Kalniņa un Māra Čaklā "Dzeguzes balsij". Vienīgais, par ticējumiem runājot, es neieteiktu, it īpaši jauniem cilvēkiem, mēģināt pēc dzeguzes balss prognozēt atlikušo gadu skaitu, jo nu nekas daudz vairāk par 10 parasti nesanāks" par dzeguzi stāsta Viesturs Ķerus. Kūkotāji ir dzeguzes tēviņi, bet gan tēviņam, gan arī mātītei ir arī dažādi citi saucieni. "Dzeguzes kūkošana ir vispazīstamākā balss, un ar to tēviņš, kā jau visbiežāk putniem ar dziesmām ir, aizsargā teritoriju un piesaista mātītes," turpina Viesturs Ķerus. "Bet, kā mēs zinām, dzeguzes nav piesaistītas ligzdai. Arī viņu pāra attiecības patiesībā nav pāra attiecības. Tēviņš sargā savu teritoriju, un, ja kāda mātīte atnāk, viņš ar to pārojas bet pāri neveidojas. Galu galā par mazuļiem nerūpējas ne tēviņš, ne mātīte. Kāda gan būtu lietderība no šāda pāra?" Zinām, ka dzeguzes dēj olas citu putnu ligzdās, bet ne gluži jebkura cita putna ligzdā. Katrai dzeguzes mātītei ir ģenētiski noteikts, kādas olas viņa dēs. Viņai ir jādēj tāda putna ligzdā, kur puslīdz atbildīs tas olu izskats. "Kā viņa to nosaka, kurš būs īstais putns, tas man nav īsti skaidrs," atzīst Viesturs Ķerus. "Bet par to, kā atrod ligzdu, ir vismaz versijas. Ir kaut kādi novērošanas posteņi, kur dzegužu mātītes skatās, kas apkārtnē notiek. Un ir pētījumi, kur tuvāk tiem novērošanas posteņiem ligzdās ir biežāk dzegužu olas, tālāk - mazāk. Un arī uztraukuma saucieni palīdz viņām ligzdas atrast, jo mēdz uztraukties putni pie savām likstām, redzot apdraudējumu." Tālāk stāsts ir visnotaļ nežēlīgs. Kad dzeguze ir atradusi ligzdu, viņai ir svarīgi, lai viņas ola šķiltos apmēram tajā laikā, kad būtu normāli tam putnam, kura ligzda izraudzīta, jāšķiļas. Tas nozīmē, ja izraudzītajā ligzdā ir jau mazuļi vai olu attīstība ir tālāk nekā dzeguzei, viņa mazuļus vai olas izsviež ārā, lai tas putns dabūtu dēt pa jaunu. Bet, ja ir pareizā attīstības stadija, tad dzeguze var piedēt savu olu. "Mazulis, kad izšķiļas, vēl ir pliks un akls, izstumj ārā īstās olas vai mazuļus, ja viņi jau ir uz to brīdi izšķīlušies, un paliek viens pats audžuvecākiem aprūpēšanai. Tad viņš liek lietā visas iežēlināšanas metodes, kas no putnu mazuļiem ir pieejamas, jo putnu mazuļi ar saviem saucieniem, ar savu čīkstēšanu prasa vecākiem barību. Un dzegužu mazuļu saucieni izklausās iespaidīgi, tā ka brīžiem pat vairāki mazuļi čīkstētu pēc barības," stāsta Viesturs Ķerus.

In this solo episode, Amy Wheeler explores one of the most important psychological teachings in the yoga tradition: the five kleśas, described in Chapter 2 of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. These teachings help explain why human beings experience suffering even when they are sincerely trying to live well.Drawing from both Sāṅkhya philosophy and the Yoga Sūtra, Amy walks listeners through the deeper roots of suffering, beginning with the distinction between puruṣa (the witnessing consciousness) and prakṛti (the body, mind, senses, and the manifest world). When these two are confused, the mind becomes entangled in patterns of misperception, attachment, aversion, and fear. These patterns are what Pātañjali calls the kleśas.Throughout the episode, Amy explains how these ancient teachings remain remarkably relevant today. The kleśas show up in modern life as over-identification with our roles, addiction to approval or stimulation, avoidance of discomfort, fear-driven decision making, and the constant pressure to control life so that we feel safe.Rather than presenting yoga as a way to avoid suffering, Amy emphasizes that the deeper aim of yoga is to understand suffering clearly. Through practices such as movement, breath regulation, meditation, and ethical reflection, the practitioner gradually loosens the grip of these patterns and begins to remember their deeper nature.The episode concludes with a reflection on one of Amy's favorite teachings from the Yoga Sūtra: Yoga Sūtra 1.3, which describes the moment when awareness returns to its true nature and the seer rests in its essential state.In This EpisodeAmy explores:• Why human beings suffer even when they are trying to live well • The philosophical foundation of the Yoga Sūtra in Sāṅkhya philosophy • The distinction between puruṣa (the witnessing consciousness) and prakṛti (the manifest world) • How misperception leads to psychological suffering • The five kleśas described in Yoga Sūtra 2.3 • How the kleśas appear in modern life and clinical practice • Why yoga is fundamentally relational and practiced through human interaction • How meditation helps return awareness to clarity and discernment • The deeper meaning of Yoga Sūtra 1.3 and the experience of resting in one's true natureThe Five KleśasThe five kleśas are the underlying causes of suffering described by Pātañjali.Avidyā — Misperception The root kleśa. Avidyā occurs when we confuse the changing contents of experience with our deeper nature.Asmitā — Misidentification Over-identifying with personality, roles, reputation, or thoughts rather than recognizing the witnessing awareness behind them.Rāga — Attachment Clinging to experiences that feel pleasurable or validating, believing they will resolve deeper unease.Dveṣa — Aversion Avoiding experiences that feel painful or uncomfortable, which can lead to defensiveness, withdrawal, or emotional reactivity.Abhiniveśa — Fear of Loss The deep instinct to cling to life, identity, control, and stability. This fear can appear even in those who are wise and experienced.Key Yoga Sūtras ReferencedYoga Sūtra 2.3 Avidyā-asmitā-rāga-dveṣa-abhiniveśāḥ kleśāḥ These five are the causes of suffering.Yoga Sūtra 2.5 Avidyā is mistaking the impermanent for the permanent, the impure for the pure, pain for pleasure, and the non-self for the self.Yoga Sūtra 1.3 Tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe 'vasthānam Then the seer rests in its true nature.Why This Matters for Yoga TherapyThe kleśas are not simply philosophical ideas. They describe patterns that appear frequently in modern life and clinical settings, including:• psychological distress • relational conflict • addiction and compulsive behavior • over-identification with roles or reputation • fear-based decision making • difficulty tolerating discomfortTherapeutic yoga practices—movement, breathwork, attentional training, and ethical reflection—help practitioners gradually recognize and soften these patterns.As clarity develops, individuals often experience greater nervous system stability, increased self-awareness, and a deeper capacity to observe thoughts and emotions without becoming completely defined by them.Reflection Questions from the Episode• What if the goal of yoga is not to become someone different, but to remember who we truly are?• Where in your life do you notice attachment to approval, comfort, or certain emotional states?• Where do you notice aversion or avoidance when something feels uncomfortable?• Can you sense the difference between the changing experiences of the mind and the steadiness of the witnessing awareness behind them?Final ReflectionThe teachings of the kleśas remind us that suffering is not simply a personal failure or something to eliminate at all costs. It is part of the human condition. Yoga invites us to understand it, learn from it, and gradually see through the patterns that amplify it.When the mind becomes clearer and less entangled in these patterns, the seer begins to rest in its true nature. From that place, life can be lived with greater steadiness, compassion, and freedom.School of Integrative Health at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification Amy's website:www.TheOptimalState.com Yoga Therapy Hour Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yoga-therapy-hour-with-amy-wheeler/id1564687158 The Optimal State Mobile Apphttps://optimalstateapp.com
Pirms mesties pirmajā šīs sezonas peldē, ir vērts sev pajautāt: vai tiešām protu peldēt tik labi, kā domāju? Kādas ir būtiskākās prasmes atklātos ūdeņos un kā izvairīties no bīstamām situācijām? Par peldēšanas drošības jautājumiem runājam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Par drošību uz ūdens atgādina biedrības "Peldēt droši" dibinātāja Zane Gemze un Rīgas domes Glābšanas un sabiedriskās kārtības nodrošināsanas nodaļas priekšnieks Jānis Skrims. Ierakstā viedoklis par pludmaļu tīrību. Kampaņas "Mana jūra" pārstāvis un Zilā karoga programmas koordinators Jānis Ulme vērtē, ka ar pludmaļu un peldvietu tīrību Latvijā pagaidām lepoties nevaram. "Ūdens ir superīga lieta, jo vairāk vasarā, bet svarīgi ir iemācīties peldēt, jo peldētprasme ir dzīvību saglabājoša prasme. Mēs iemācamies vienreiz dzīvē peldēt, uzturam šīs prasmes regulāri vasarā vai arī ziemā, aizejot uz peldbaseinu. Varbūt tas iepatīkas kā fizisko aktivitāšu veids. Tas ir ļoti saudzīgs ķermenim visās vecuma grupās," atzīst Zane Gemze. "Arī pēc traumām tieši peldes palīdz atjaunot kustību amplitūdas. Ūdens dara brīnumlietas. Ja neesam iemācījušies peldēt un ja 50 gados operē, piemēram, menisku un ārsts rekomendē iet peldēt, cilvēks nevar, jo nemāk peldēt. Tad jau iemācīties peldēt kļūst apgrūtinoši." Viņa dalās pieredzē, ka pati nav peldējusi līdz līdz 27 gadu vecumam, bet šīs prasmes apgūšana izmainījusi viņas dzīvi.

31.Sohbet“Yapılan öfke, Allah için olursa iyi sayılır. Başka sebeplerle duyulan öfke iyi sayılmaz. İman sahibi, hiddetini Allah'ın emri olmadan göstermez. Nefsi için hiçbir hiddete kapılmaz. İslâm dininin zaferi için hiddet eder; fakat nefsin arzusunu yerine getirmek için sertleşmez. İman sahibi, dinî emirlerin biri zedelenecek olursa sonsuz hiddete kapılır; onun hiddeti şiddetlidir. Evi elinden alınan bir kaplan, belki onun kadar hiddete gelemez. Şüphesiz, Allah Teâlâ da öfkelenir. İman sahibinin öfkesi, ilâhi öfkeye benzer. İmanı bütün olan Yaratan'ın darıldığı şeylere darılır, hoşlandığı şeylerden hoşlanır, sevinç duyar. Aslında nefsin için olan, fakat dışta Allah için olduğu görülen hiddeti etme. Sonra münafık olursun. Münafık olmasan bile benzersin. Allah için olan şey devamlı, ömürlü olur. Başkası için yapılacak hiddet az zaman durur, sonra geçer. Varlığını Hak yoluna vakfeden kimselerle ol. Onların kuvveti ile kuvvet bul. Görüşlerini onların görüşlerine uydur. Bunları yaparsan Yaratan, onları övdüğü gibi seni de över. Seni meleklere metheder. Daha başka tabirle, seninle övünür. Her şey zıddından ve sevmediği şeyden kaçar. Kuvvetler çeşitlidir. O zıtlar arasında kudsî kuvvetler ve onun karşısında kudsî olmayan kuvvetler vardır; sana düşen ilâhî kuvveti alıp aksini bir yana atmak. Varlığını Hak varlığı ile doldur. O kudsî varlığı yitirirsen, hiçbir şey bulman kabil değildir. Görürsün. Sonra yine O'nu görürsün. O'nun dışında varlık görmek mümkün olmaz. Yeter ki, varlığını temizlemen kabil ola. Neler görmezsin ki? Ancak temizlik şarttır. Bir padişahın katına dış pisliği ile girilmediği gibi mukaddes varlığa da derûnî kirle girmek mümkün değildir. İçin boşalmış, orayı aç kurtlar doldurmuş. Seni neylerler? Ruhunda bir inkılâp yap, temizle. Ancak bundan sonra şahın katına girebilirsin. Hak yakınlığı dehşet verir. Şayet bir dehşet duymuyorsan, sakın O'nun yakınlığından dem vurma, sonra yalancı olduğunu yüzüne vururlar. Kulların işiyle gönlünü eğlendirmektesin. Onların sana gelip el öpmelerini bekliyorsun. Onlar gelip bir şeyler versinler diye kapıda bekliyorsun. İstediğini yerine getirmedikleri zaman üzüntü duymaktasın. Övülünce yüzün gülüyor. Kötülüğünü söyleyen olursa yüzün buruşuyor. O büyükler Hak varlığında sakin olurlarsa, imanları artar. Kullara güvenir, onların geçici metalarına koşarlarsa perişan olurlar, imanları kuvvetten düşer. Ama onlar hiçbir zaman yaratılmışlara dayanamazlar. Yaratan'larına güvenirler, O'na tevekkül ederler. İstinat noktaları Hak'tır. O'ndan korkarlar. Bir şey bekleyecek olurlarsa yine O'ndan beklerler. Çünkü er geç gidecekleri yer orasıdır. Tevhid ehlidirler. Şirk yolunu bilmezler bile. Düşkün oldukları hâl budur. Tevhidleri kalplerinde yer etmiştir. Halkla sohbet eder, iyi geçinirler. Kendilerine karşı bir cahillik eden olsa onunla bir olmazlar. Hak Teâlâ onların bu vasfını şöyle anlattı: “Cahiller onlara söz attıkları zaman, selâm derler.” (el-Furkân, 25/63) Sus; cahillere yumuşak davran. Cahil kişinin yanlış hâli seni üzmesin. Onların tabiatında mevcut olan huysuzluk yüzünü buruşturmasın. Nefis ve şahsî arzularının sapık tezahürü seni üzmesin. Ama bir günah işledikleri zaman da susma, konuş. Hatalı işlere karşı susmak yasaktır. O zaman konuşmak ibadet sayılır. Gücün yeterse, iyiliği yaptır. Kötülüğe mâni ol. Bu babta kusurlu olma. O kapı bir hayır kapısıdır. Kendin için bir ganimet bil, içeri girmeye bak. Dünyanın ömrü nedir? Nimeti ne kadar sürer? Bir gün mevcut olan güzel hâli, ikinci gün oluyor mu ki? İman sahibi bunları iç âleminde sezer. Dünya çirkin huyludur. Elinde karası bulunur. Her sözü zehir taşır. Tadı hemen gider. Ve bir daha dönmez. Hiçbir vaadinin aslı çıkmaz. Ahdine vefa etmez. Ona güvenip üstünde köşkler kurmak, su üstünde ev yapmaya benzer. İman sahibi dünyayı tutmaz. Onda yerli olmayı aklına koymaz. Bu sebeple derecesini artırır. Hak irfanına sahib olur. Mahlûk şeyleri sevmez. Bu yüzden öbür âlemi de istemez.

Is it “genuine concern” or is Tad having an emotional affair with a woman currently floating in the Pacific Ocean?
Jeff and Phil welcome filmmaker Tadashi Nakamura to talk about Third Act, his deeply personal documentary about his father, pioneering filmmaker Robert A. Nakamura, aka "The Godfather of Asian American Media." Tad talks about growing up in the shadow of his revered artist/activist parents, and the pressure that evolved into pride and partnership; making the movie he always knew that he had to make, and the challenges of putting himself front and center in the film; and how the camera -- and the ticking clock -- became the ultimate intermediary for father and son. Also: The Good, The Bad, and The WTF of making Third Act.
In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Filippo Rijli from the Friedrich Miescher Institute about his work on transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of craniofacial and neuronal development. Dr. Rijli recalls pivotal moments in his career, including his postdoctoral work where he explored the functions of HoxA2 in craniofacial development. We discuss key findings from his landmark papers, highlighting how individual transcription factors like HoxA2 can dictate the topographic organization of neuronal circuits. His exploration of the whisker-to-barrel cortex circuit in mice unveils how sensory inputs are mapped and processed through precise neuronal connections. This intricate mapping reveals how singular genes can impact the wiring of entire neurological systems. We also reflect on the evolution of scientific communication throughout Filippo's career, from the reliance on faxes and handwritten requests for paper reprints to today's instant access to research through digital platforms. His early experiences have instilled in him a resourcefulness that continues to inform his approach to research, particularly in environments with limited resources where collaboration becomes essential. Our discussion shifts to his recent research endeavors that delve into transcriptional and epigenetic regulation during neuronal and craniofacial development. Dr. Rijli elaborates on a 2015 study which demonstrated how the ectopic expression of HoxA2 could lead to the creation of artificial whisker maps in the brain, providing insights into how transcription factors guide neuronal behavior and circuit formation. His work on the histone methyltransferase EZH2 reveals its crucial role in the tangential migration of cerebellar neurons and the mechanisms that ensure these neurons reach their accurate destinations during development. Dr. Rijli's research further investigates the chromatin landscape of cranial neural crest cells, uncovering how polycomb group proteins maintain a poised state that enables these cells to respond flexibly to environmental signals. This concept of plasticity is particularly relevant in his latest research on nasal chondrocytes, suggesting that these cells retain developmental potential that may be harnessed in regenerative medicine. The discussions hint at a future where understanding these intricate mechanisms could lead to groundbreaking advancements in treating injuries or diseases. Throughout the episode, Dr. Rijli's enthusiasm for discovery is palpable as he shares how each research finding leads to more questions, showcasing the iterative nature of scientific research. This dialogue provides not only a deep dive into his specific studies but also a broader view of how developmental biology continues to evolve, emphasizing the importance of understanding the molecular underpinnings of cellular identity and connectivity.

The Atlanta Beltline continues its steady progression toward full completion of its 22-mile corridor, with major milestones approaching for trail development, long-term housing and transit objectives. Dennis Richards, vice president of housing policy and development with the Atlanta Beltline, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to discuss the Atlanta Beltline's current status, housing strategy and future priorities. Atlanta Beltline Nears Major Completion Milestones Ahead of 2030 Target The Atlanta Beltline is on track to reach approximately 85% completion by June 2026, with full buildout targeted for 2030. Described as one of the nation's most significant redevelopment efforts, the project continues to transform former rail corridors into a connected 22-mile trail system with future transit capacity. “It's a large-scale urban redevelopment project. It's one of the largest in the nation,” Richards said. “It's an economic development engine for the city of Atlanta that's transforming 22 miles of abandoned railroad corridor into a multi-use trail system.” The initiative also reconnects 45 Atlanta neighborhoods that were historically divided by transportation infrastructure, restoring connectivity across the city's core. Housing Strategy Focused on Production, Preservation & Land Acquisition Housing policy along the Atlanta Beltline is driven by a combination of strategic land acquisition, development partnerships and affordability requirements embedded into new projects. The organization has acquired more than 90 acres of land adjacent to the corridor, creating opportunities to guide future development and support mission-aligned housing projects. A key focus remains on ensuring that growth includes both affordability and community-serving commercial space, particularly for small, local businesses. Developers working within the Atlanta Beltline tax allocation district are also encouraged and incentivized to incorporate affordability into project design, helping to bridge financing gaps while advancing housing goals. More Than 7,000 Affordable Units Created or Preserved Affordable housing outcomes remain one of the most closely tracked indicators of the Atlanta Beltline's progress. More than 4,400 units have been created or preserved within the tax allocation district, with an additional 2,600 units located in surrounding Atlanta Beltline communities—bringing the total to more than 7,000 affordable units in the broader area. The long-term mandate calls for at least 5,600 affordable housing units within the TAD by 2030, with additional pipeline development expected to accelerate progress over the next several years. Progress is tracking ahead of expectations, with approximately 88% of the goal expected to be reached by year-end based on current pipeline activity. Inclusionary Zoning & Incentives Support Affordability Goals Policy tools such as inclusionary zoning and targeted development incentives have played a central role in advancing affordability along the corridor. The inclusionary zoning ordinance, launched in 2018, has helped produce nearly 950 affordable housing units within the Atlanta Beltline TAD and an additional 250 units just outside its boundaries. Developers receive incentives to offset financing gaps in exchange for incorporating affordable housing and, in some cases, affordable commercial space within their projects. The approach is designed to balance private investment with long-term affordability and community stability. Economic Impact & Regional Growth Continue to Shape Demand The Atlanta Beltline's economic impact has exceeded early expectations. Originally projected at a 10:1 return on investment, the project has now reached approximately a 14:1 return. At the same time, regional growth continues to place pressure on Atlanta's housing market. The Atlanta Regional Commission projects nearly 2 million additional residents by 2050, reinforcing demand for housing in intown neighborhoods and along transit-connected corridors. These dynamics continue to elevate the Atlanta Beltline's role as both a housing catalyst and a long-term infrastructure investment. Legacy Resident Program Supports Long-Term Housing Stability The Legacy Resident Retention Program, administered through the Atlanta Beltline Partnership, is designed to help long-term residents remain in place as property values rise. The program offsets property tax increases for qualifying homeowners in designated neighborhoods. Eligibility generally includes residents who have lived in their homes since March 2017 and meet income thresholds at or below 100% of area median income. “It will fix essentially the amount of property taxes that a resident pays, and it'll pay the difference,” Richards said, describing how the program helps reduce displacement pressure. Trail Expansion & Transit Planning Define Next Phase of Growth Recent progress includes the opening of Southside Trail segments four and five, marking another step toward a fully connected corridor. The expansion enables continuous movement across key Atlanta destinations, linking areas from the northwest corridor through Southside neighborhoods and onward toward Piedmont Park and the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Future phases will continue extending connectivity, with additional trail segments scheduled for completion. An Atlanta Beltline transit study is also underway to evaluate long-term mobility options, with ongoing community engagement expected as planning evolves. Looking Ahead to 2030: Full Buildout and Integrated Mobility By 2030, the Atlanta Beltline is expected to reach full trail completion while continuing to expand housing production and advance transit planning. The long-term vision includes a fully connected corridor supporting multimodal transportation, increased housing density and continued equitable development across Atlanta neighborhoods. Through strategic land acquisition, policy-driven affordability tools and coordinated partnerships with public and private stakeholders, the Atlanta Beltline is working to align long-term housing production with sustained community growth across Atlanta's core.

We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this episode, Dr. Allen Lomax sits down with Tad Fallows to explore the psychological and structural pressures faced by high-performing, affluent professionals. Tad shares insights from his journey of bootstrapping and selling a software company, which led him to found Long Angle—a peer-to-peer learning community of over 7,500 high-net-worth individuals. They discuss why traditional financial advice often breeds anxiety, how to shift from optimizing for more to optimizing for alignment, and how to use wealth as a tool for true personal freedom. Achieving a high net worth does not automatically dissolve stress or resolve personal problems. Traditional wealth management is often plagued by misaligned incentives, where advisors are motivated by commissions and asset management fees rather than the client's best interests. True clarity and freedom come from peer-to-peer learning, understanding the baseline mechanics of your own wealth, and intentionally shifting focus from status-driven accumulation to buying back time and aligning capital with personal values. Main Points: 1. The Origins of Long AngleThe Post-Exit Gap: After selling his software company, Tad faced complex financial decisions (estate taxes, private markets, umbrella insurance) but found most advice came from institutional firms with products to sell.The Peer-To-Peer Solution: Long Angle was built to provide a fee-free, trusted space for first-generation wealth creators to share unconflicted advice without sales pitches.2. Why High-Net-Worth Individuals Still Feel Financial PressureHabitual Risk Aversion: The very traits that help people build wealth—calculating risk and hyper-optimizing—can cause lingering anxiety about running out of money, even with a $25M or $100M net worth.Money Doesn't Solve Personal Problems: Money can easily solve minor operational friction (like hiring a gardener), but it cannot fix health, fitness, or strained family relationships.3. The Unique Dilemmas of First-Generation WealthThe "Resource vs. Liability" Parenting Dilemma: Wealthy parents face intense pressure regarding how to provide elite opportunities for their children without spoiling them or stripping away their drive to succeed on their own terms.The Purpose Vacuum: When a professional hits financial independence early (e.g., age 40) and removes the excuse of "working for money," they face the heavier existential pressure of deciding how to spend their time meaningfully.4. Flaws in the Traditional Wealth Management ModelMisaligned Incentives: It is difficult to get objective advice from a commission-based insurance broker or an AUM-based wealth manager who might lose income if you choose to liquidate assets to buy a house.Peer Learning vs. Paid Advice: Sourcing insights from peers who have no financial stake in your decisions reduces the mental burden of second-guessing an advisor's true motivations.5. Shifts in Capital and Time AllocationLow Interest in Status Spending: First-generation wealth creators in the community tend to show very little interest in traditional status symbols like Ferraris, Rolexes, or designer clothes.Redefining Risk: Unlike inherited wealth holders who focus on minimizing volatility, self-made wealth creators generally have a higher risk tolerance, choosing to optimize for long-term expected returns over a multi-year horizon.Buying Back Time: Capital is increasingly deployed to outsource low-value, energy-draining tasks (e.g., hiring house managers or virtual assistants) while preserving time for high emotional-value activities, like parenting or community impact.6. Actionable Advice for Wealth OwnersDon't Fully Outsource Trust: Much like managing a home renovation, you don't need to know every technical nuance, but you must understand the foundational basics (asset classes, taxes, fees, and correlations) to be an educated client.Connect with Tad Fallows: www.longangle.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/fallows/https://www.facebook.com/longanglehnw/https://www.instagram.com/longanglehnw/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF9q0mD1Iv440sJHbwaq2TAPrivate Masterclass (Beyond the Paycheck): www.go.steetalker.com/beyond-paycheck

Many of us were taught that humans have been the dominant force shaping the modern world through sheer grit, ingenuity, and innovation. While true to an extent, there are also deep, embedded laws of energy that have both constrained and enabled human cleverness and our influence over our surroundings. What exactly are these laws, and what happened in the past few centuries that allowed for an explosion of technology and consumption? Perhaps more importantly, how can that knowledge help us understand how the decades and centuries ahead might be different? In this episode, Nate is joined by earth scientist and thermodynamicist Tad Patzek for a deep dive into the mathematics and physics driving humanity's energetic and material predicament. Tad walks us through the six great flows of power and materials that keep civilization running, and explains why our public conversation about all of them is dangerously detached from physical reality. He argues that planetary breakdown is not merely a side effect of an economic system built on growing these flows – it is a direct mathematical consequence of overshoot. He rounds out this picture by pointing out that every energy transition in history has been additive, not subtractive – increasing total power in the system – and the current push toward renewables is no exception. What if we were to truly see ourselves through the lens of all the energy we consume – for Americans, the equivalent of a 40-ton whale – would that change how we live? How do technology, population, and per capita energy consumption amplify each other, creating an exponential demand for power? And if we were to acknowledge the inseparability of our ecological crises and our energy blindness, would it help us change our behavior in accordance with the kind of world we'd want our grandchildren to inherit? (Conversation recorded on March 11th, 2026) About Tad Patzek: Tad Patzek is Professor Emeritus of Petroleum and Chemical Engineering at the Earth Sciences Division and Director of the Ali I. Al-Naimi Petroleum Engineering Center in KAUST, Saudi Arabia. Formerly, he was the Lois K. and Richard D. Folger Leadership Professor and Chairman of the Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Austin. Additionally, he was previously a Professor of Geoengineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to joining Berkeley, he was a researcher at Shell Development, a research company managed for 20 years by M. King Hubbert. He is also a full Presidential Professor in Poland, which is the highest honor, and also served as a member of the DOI Macondo Well Advisory Committee. Patzek's current research involves mathematical and numerical modeling of earth systems with emphasis on fluid flow in soils and rocks that can be hydrofractured. He is working on the thermodynamics and ecology of human survival, and food and energy supply for humanity. His current emphasis is the use of unconventional natural gas as a fuel bridge to the possible new energy supply schemes for the world. Patzek is a coauthor of over 400 papers and reports, and most recently, he has cumulated his research into his upcoming book Thermal Power and Climate Change: A Data-Driven Analysis of Cause and Effect, 1800-2100 (Preprint available now) Show Notes and More Watch this video episode on YouTube Want to learn the broad overview of The Great Simplification in 30 minutes?

Why can't you just use canola oil from your kitchen to kill spider mites? If you've ever wondered about the true science behind oil-based pesticides, this episode is a deep dive into the physics and chemistry of plant protection. Tad and Julie Graesch explore why oils remain one of the most effective tools for managing resistant pest populations like two-spotted spider mites and thrips. In this episode, we cover: Physical Modes of Action: How oils kill through suffocation and desiccation, and why pests can't develop resistance to being physically smothered. Mineral vs. Essential Oils: The functional differences between horticultural mineral oils (like SuffOil-X) and 25B essential oils (like Epishield). The Power of Formulation: Why inert ingredients, surfactants, and molecular weight are just as important as the active ingredients for preventing phytotoxicity.
