Dealing with those ugly leaves after spring bulbs like daffodils and tulips are finished flowering. Cut them back? Deadhead? Braid the leaves? Tie them in a knot?
1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger, 2 you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth. 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. 4 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. 5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise; 7 which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, 8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. 9 How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep— 11 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth, 13 who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers, 14 in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 16 There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: 17 arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, 19 a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers. 20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and don't forsake your mother's teaching. 21 Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue. 25 Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids. 26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 30 Men don't despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry, 31 but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul. 33 He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won't spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He won't regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Daily Dose of Hope May 2, 2025 Day 5 of Week 5 Scripture - Mark 12:18-34 Prayer: Lord, How we need you. Thank you for your presence, thank you for the way you continue to pursue us. Lord, in these next few moments of silence, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you...In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today is day 2 of Mark 12. Like I said yesterday, there is a lot here! Today, we will talk about Jesus' comments regarding marriage at the resurrection and the greatest commandment. Let's start with marriage at the resurrection. The Sadducees were a group of Jewish wealthy and aristocratic leaders who did not believe in the resurrection. It's not clear if they were trying to trap Jesus or possibly discredit him, but they ask him a question based on levirate law as outlined by the law of Moses. Levirate law was intended to protect widows without a male heir. When a brother died, leaving his wife without children, a surviving brother marries the widow with the sole intention of producing an heir. If a son is conceived, he is actually considered to be the deceased brother's child. In ancient near-East culture, a widow without any connection to a male would either starve or be forced to beg or prostitute herself. Thus, the Sadducees question makes a little more sense even though it is a bit absurd. A woman's husband dies and she marries a brother. That brother dies and she marries another brother and so forth until she has been married to all seven brothers. Then she dies. Whose wife will she be at the resurrection? Keep in mind, they ask this question knowing that they think the resurrection is false. They have an ulterior motive here – possibly make a fool of Jesus? Jesus basically tells them they are totally missing the point. In the resurrection, our bodies will be different – perfect and glorious. There will also be a change in our spiritual nature. Jesus is saying that in regard to marriage and sexual matters, we will be like the angels (note that he did not say we will be angels but we will be like them.) But the Sadducees were mistaken so significantly not because of this absurd question but because they didn't believe in the resurrection. This is a fundamental aspect of Jesus' teaching and they missed it entirely. “You are badly mistaken!” Jesus says to them. Let's move on. To the other part of today's text, the greatest commandment. A scribe comes up to ask Jesus a question. Unlike the Pharisees and Sadducees, he isn't combative and patronizing. He saw how well Jesus answered questions and he genuinely wanted to hear from Jesus. He asks Jesus for the greatest commandment. Jesus begins his answer with the Shema which comes from Deuteronomy 6, Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. The Shema recognizes the uniqueness and oneness of God. There aren't other gods but only one true God. God calls his people to love him and obey him with every part of their being. He called the ancient Israelites to this this and he calls us to do this as well. Jesus took the Shema and added an important element. In Mark 12, we read that Jesus says this: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.” Yes, we love God with our whole being but we also love others. In fact, love of God is demonstrated by love of others. As Christians, we cannot separate the two. Love of God and love of others cannot be separated. How often do we try to say that we love God while we hate another person? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

"Tas bija garš un ļoti aizraujošs ceļš līdz instrumenta pilnīgai skaņas un arī izskata atgūšanai, ko mēs pašreiz svinam ar pirmo festivālu," teic vokālās grupas "Putni vadītāja un Liepājas Lutera baznīcas "Hammond" ērģeļu atjaunošanas projekta vadītāja Antra Dreģe. "Klasikā" līdz ar Antru uz sarunu aicināta arī komponiste MADARA PĒTERSONE, kura rūpējas par festivāla programmu un koncertiem. Festivāla atklāšanas koncertā otrdien, 29. aprīlī, uzstāsies "Hammond" ērģeļu trio "VAS | BUKOWSKI | SZMAŃDA" no Polijas, kura sastāvā muzicē džeza mākslinieki Ādams Bencs Vāšs (Adam Bence Vas, Hammond ērģeles), Dominiks Bukovskis (Dominik Bukowski, vibrofons) un Kržistofs Šžimanda (Krzysztof Szmańda, bungas). Programmā skanēs Ādama Benca Vāša kompozīcijas. Šis un turpmākie festivāla koncerti klausītājiem atklās ne tikai "Hammond" elektrisko ērģeļu atjaunoto skanējumu, bet arī paplašinās priekšstatu par šī leģendārā instrumenta muzikālajām iespējām un integrāciju dažādos instrumentālajos sastāvos. Tie ļaus ielūkoties arī šī instrumenta vēstures lappusēs. Jā, Liepājas Lutera baznīcas "Hammond" ērģeļu vienreizējo dzīvesstāstu, tāpat kā cilvēka dzīvi, pavada tik daudz niansētu detaļu. Liepājas "Hammond" ir unikāls VEF ražots eksemplārs, ko Liepājas Lutera baznīcai dāvājis Kārlis Ulmanis, to iegādei viņš ziedoja 10 000 latu. Instrumentu uzstādīja 1937., bet iesvētīja 1938. gadā. Instruments, kas vēl šī gadsimta sākumā skanēja dievkalpojumos un koncertos, vairāk nekā 15 gadus nebija darba kārtībā. Tomēr fakts, ka arī mūsu valstī reiz ražots šis kulta instruments, izraisīja lielu rezonansi un interesi Latvijas mūziķu aprindās. 2021. gadā radās ideja šo īpašo instrumentu atjaunot. Restaurācijas projektu vadīt uzņēmās producente Antra Dreģe kopā ar virtuozo džeza pianistu, "Hammond" ērģelnieku un jauno džeza mūziķu skolotāju Ati Andersonu. Ērģeļu restaurācija ilga četrus gadus, procesā piedalījās meistari no Latvijas un Nīderlandes - Vitālijs Aišpurs (Latvija), Ganderts de Bo (Nīderlande), Liepājas Restaurācijas centra speciālisti Ivars Pilips un Didzis Jurkovskis. Hammond svinēšana Ieva Zeidmane: Antra, jūs par Liepājas baznīcā esošajām "Hammond" ērģelēm uzzinājāt pirms dažiem gadiem. Kopš tā laika ērģeles ir ieskandinātas, notikuši koncerti, pievēršot uzmanību šim instrumentam un arī vācot līdzekļus tā atjaunošanai. Visupirms mazliet atgādiniet, kā veicies ar restaurāciju! Antra Dreģe: Tas bija garš un ļoti aizraujošs ceļš līdz instrumenta pilnīgai skaņas un arī izskata atgūšanai, ko mēs pašreiz svinam ar pirmo festivālu. Līdz tam bija neliela ieskriešanās ar koncertiem, lai vienkārši saprastu un testētu instrumentu, kas ir pilnīgi normāla lieta tādam sen klusējošam instrumentam – viss kas var pēkšņi atklāties un izlīst ārā, un tā arī bija: ar restauratoriem tikāmies vairākas reizes, lai sasniegtu ideālo skanējumu, un ceram, ka tas arī tagad kādu laiku labi turēsies, gādīgu roku pieskatīts un gādīgu roku regulāri spēlēts, kas instrumentam ir pats svarīgākais! Bet tas viss sākās diezgan sen, pat senāk nekā pati restaurācija. Vismaz pāris gadu garumā tika vākta informācija un noskaidrots, kas, kā un kāpēc, un 2021. gada nogalē notika pirmie koncerti, kas bija veltīti "Hammond" ērģeļu atjaunošanai, kur mūsu kontā ienāca arī pirmie ziedojumi, par kuriem varējām sākt veikt izpētes darbu. Pēc tam arī pieslēdzās fondi ar atbalstu, un lielu paldies sakām gan Kultūrkapitāla fonda kultūras mantojuma nozarei, gan arī Latviešu fondam un, protams, Liepājas Kultūras pārvaldei, kura mūs ir nemitīgi atbalstījusi šajā ceļā, un man tiešām ir liels prieks un lepnums, ka liepājnieki parūpējušies par savu instrumentu tā, lai tas atkal varētu būt mūsu ikdienā. Instruments baznīcā skanējis vēl divtūkstošo gadu sākumā, dievkalpojumos. Jā, tas apklusa 2006. gadā, un tad jau neatgriezeniski. Domāju, ka liela vaina bija tajā, ka nav pārāk daudz speciālistu, kas varētu strādāt ar senajām lampu tehnikām, ar tādu analogo instrumentu un saprast šos mehānismus – kā tiem jāstrādā. Arī man bija liels izaicinājums, kamēr atradu Vitāliju Aišpuru, kas mums palīdzēja savienot vadus un saprast, ka instruments varētu skanēt un ir vērts tālāk plānot un izvērst restaurācijas darbus. Tā kā tā nav tāda pavisam vienkārša lieta. Bet to, ka šis ir īpašs instruments, liepājnieki paši zināja un nojauta? Trūka vienkārši uzņēmības un līdzekļu atjaunošanai? Bieži vien jau tās lietas, kas ir tieši tev blakus, tu īsti nenovērtē, nepēti un nesaproti… Man bail pat domāt, cik daudz vērtīgu lietu aizgājušas zudībā tāpēc, ka nav pietiekošas informācijas un cilvēki nav iedziļinājušies. No apmēram desmit savulaik VEF ražotajiem Hammond instrumentiem pašreiz zinām par trim. Kas notika ar pārējiem? Visticamāk, tos sagaidīja bēdīgāks liktenis nekā šos trīs, kas pašreiz ir apskatāmi. Cik tālu šobrīd ir instrumenta restaurēšanas process? Vai pilnīgi pabeigts? Bija vēl nedaudz jāpameklē kaut kas instrumenta noformējumam – Ādolfa Irbītes darinātajiem jaukajiem skapīšiem, kuros var ievietot eļļu, ar ko instruments jāeļļo, lai tas skan un lai visi mehānismi ir kārtībā. Arī shēmas tajos glabājas. Atslēgas bija pazudušas, un slēdzenes salauztas. Ilgi un pamatīgi kopā ar Liepājas restaurācijas centra speciālistiem meklējam atslēgas, un burtiski pirms nedēļas izdevās atrast 1936. gadā ražotās atslēgas – turklāt tieši tā paša ražotāja, kas ražojis oriģinālās atslēgas "Hammond" ērģelēm! Pašreiz jau slēdzene ir Liepājā, un ceru, ka uz atklāšanas koncertu jau varēsim skapīšus slēgt ciet un vaļā, likt eļļu un rādīt sanākušajiem, kā tas viss skaisti izskatās. Bet tomēr vēl kādi ziedojumi ir vajadzīgi? Jā, šobrīd esam ceļā uz nākamo posmu. Restaurācija ir noslēgusies, bet nepieciešami ziedojumi, lai uzturētu šo instrumentu, jo ik pa laikam profilaksei kādas lietas jāpadara, un – ja pēkšņi vajadzīgi lielāki remontdarbi, tad atkal jāsauc restaurators no Nīderlandes un jāveic apjomīgāki darbi, kas ir finansiāli ietilpīgāki. Bet pašreiz… Materiālu ir ļoti daudz, esam visu safilmējuši, visu sarakstījuši par to, kas un kā ar instrumentu noticis restaurācijas procesā, taču docents Vitālijs Aišpurs vēl joprojām arhīvos meklē vēsturiskās liecības par ražošanas faktu šeit, VEF. Informācija ir ļoti, ļoti skopa, bet ceram, ka šis milzīgais darbs arhīvos nesīs kaut kādus rezultātus, tādēļ domājam, ka būtu vērts organizēt Baltijā vienīgo "Hammond" ērģeļu muzeju – tādu ekspozīciju ap instrumentu. Festivāla atklāšanā jau varēsim to prezentēt: divās valodās ir nofilmētas videoekskursijas, un cilvēki, kas atbrauks uz Liepāju, sešās minūtēs varēs noklausīties informāciju par "Hammond" vēsturi: instruments nofilmēts gan no ārpuses, gan no iekšpuses ar visiem komentāriem, lai saprastu tā darbības mehānismu un unikalitāti. Unikalitāte ir arī dāvināšanas fakts? Jā, mūsu valsts kādreizējais vadītājs Kārlis Ulmanis bija tiešām devīgs un atsaucīgs pret draudzes vajadzībām un ziedoja 10000 latus, lai šo instrumentu varētu iegādāties, un tas arī, man liekas, ir tāds unikāls fakts – ka valsts amatpersona ir tik ļoti ieinteresēta savas tautas un savas rūpnīcas ražojuma nodošanā draudzes un cilvēku vajadzībām. Tas man liekas ļoti simpātiski un arī simboliski. Plāksne par dāvinājuma faktu piestiprināta pie ērģelēm. Ceru, ka Latvijā nezudīs tie mecenāti, kas vēl joprojām spēj kultūrai un kultūras mantojumam veltīt līdzekļus un palīdzēt tam dzīvot tālāk. Madara, kāda jums kā komponistei šķiet šī instrumenta skaņa? Madara Pētersone: Noteikti autentiska, specifiska. Šis ir tas specifiskais gadījums, ka "Hammond" ērģeles atrodas baznīcā – šajā kontekstā ir interesanti, ka tas atrodas tik ļoti akustiskā telpā, jo džeza kontekstā tam vairāk ir matēts skanējums. Man pašai vēl ir tur ko klausīties un iepazīt! Tas ir autentisks instruments, kura skaņa ir maksimāli atjaunota un cik vien iespējams – atbilstoša instrumentam. Tā visiem ir vienkārši lieliska iespēja dzīvē dzirdēt šo instrumentu, kas neatrodas muzejā aiz slēgtām durtiņām vai aiz lentes, bet to tiešām ir iespējams dzirdēt dzīvajā, un tas ir visunikālākais fakts šī instrumenta sakarā. "Hammond" ērģeļu spēles lietpratējs Atis Andersons atzinis, ka uz šim instrumentam piestāv dažnedažāds repertuārs, sākot ar pavisam akadēmisku klasiku, varbūt pat Bahu, kas baznīcai piestāv, un beidzot ar džezu. Kā jums šķiet? Droši vien, ka piekrītu. Es arī ar komponistes un skaņu pasaules redzējumu redzu, kā to var integrēt netipiskākos, bet pārsteidzoši labi skanošos sastāvos. Tur ir, ko izmantot, mēģināt un atrast – jaunus salikumus. Pat tādus, kuri nav tipiski un nav īstenojušies. Vairāk – ierakstā.
"Soļus tulkot nevajag! Par to esmu pārliecināts. Mana personīgā recepte ir šāda: man ļoti nepatīk uz izrādi atnākt pēdējā brīdī, kad skrienu, nedaudz kavēju un neesmu gatavs pašā izrādes sākumā tai pieslēgties un uztvert brīvi un atvērti. Vēl viena no lietām – neizvirzām pārāk lielas ekspektācijas! Atnākam uz izrādi kā atvērta, balta lapa, lai bez lielām ekspektācijām un dziļas analīzes to vienkārši baudītu. Tas reizēm ļoti labi palīdz," saka dejotājs, horeogrāds, arī scenogrāfs, pedagogs un Dejas balvas žūrijas priekšsēdētājs Dmitrijs Gaitjukevičs. Gaidot Dejas balvas pasniegšanas ceremoniju, kas 29. aprīlī risināsies koncertzālē "Cēsis", runājam par deju, dejas norisēm, dejas mākslas veidiem, virzieniem un uzzinām, kas būtisks nozarei. Signe Lagzdiņa: Sāksim ar lielajām balvām, kas jau zināmas: mūža balvas ieguvējas ir Baiba Rasma Šteina un Gunta Bāliņa. Dmitrij, vai izvēle par to, kam šogad piešķirt balvu par mūža ieguldījumu, bija sarežģīta? Vai arī viss jau bija skaidrs? Dmitrijs Gaitjukevičs: Tur viss bija skaidrs. Ļoti ātri nonācām pie viena kopsaucēja. Gribētu izmantot iespēju un vēlreiz mūsu žūrijas vārdā sveikt brīnišķīgās profesionāles, sava žanra pārstāves – Guntu un Baibu. Balva ir ļoti pelnīta un patīkami, ka tieši mums bija iespēja godināt abas dāmas. Vai varat divos teikumos pateikt – kāpēc tieši viņām pienākas balva par mūža ieguldījumu? Man šķiet, ka divos teikumos nesanāks. Jo katrai no šīm dāmām aiz muguras ir tik bagāta biogrāfija – visi lielie soļi, ko viņas ir paveikušas, sākot no savas izglītības, pēc tam ieguldījuma un attīstības gan pie mūsu skatuviskās tautas dejas, gan baleta mākslas. Nav iespējams to raksturot divos teikumos... Paveiktais patiešām ir iespaidīgs un katram tādu mūžu var novēlēt! Bet vai jums jau ir kas zināms par pašu pasniegšanas ceremoniju? Vai arī žūrijas priekšsēdētājam un žūrijas locekļiem tas būs pārsteigums? Tas būs pārsteigums. Varēsiet atpūsties? Jā! Mums atsūtīja ielūgumus – būsim viesi un skatīsimies. Pirmo reizi, man šķiet, būsim skatītāja lomā. Būs interesanti! Vai visi darbi jau pabeigti, vai arī balsošana par nominantiem vēl priekšā? Nē. Vakar atnāca ziņa, ka viss ir parakstīts, pavisam droši – ar e-parakstiem. Viss jau ir izlemts. Dejas balva tiek pasniegta reizi divos gados, līdz ar to periods, kas jums bija jāpiedzīvo žūrijas priekšsēdētāja amatā, bija patiešām vērienīgs. Divi gadi – 2023. un 2024. Jūsuprāt – tas ir labi, ka balva tiek pasniegta reizi divos gados, vai tomēr vajadzētu biežāk – reizi gadā? Nezinu... Šobrīd ir trešā reize, kad notiek šī ceremonija. Manā rīcībā nav precīzas statistikas par iepriekšējiem gadiem, bet šo divu gadu laikā bija 86 jaundarbi, ko mēs noskatījāmies. Salīdzinot ar "Spēlmaņu nakti", tas nav tik liels skaitlis, taču man tas šķiet diezgan optimāls, lai tas tomēr būtu biennāls notikums, nevis tiktu rīkots katru gadu. "Klasikā" īsi pēc Dejas balvas nominantu paziņošanas viesojās jūsu kolēģe Sintija Siliņa. Sarunā ar Orestu Silabriedi viņa atklāja, kā esat sadalījuši žanrus. Dejas balva taču ir tik plašs jēdziens. Dejot var tik dažādi. Dejot var menuetu un dejot var hiphopu… Var arī nedejot un saukt to par deju... Sintija Siliņa: Mums ar gudru ziņu un savā ziņā arī ar eksperimentālu ziņu apvienoti četri žanri, jo divi no tiem – skatuviskā tautas deja un mūsdienu deja – darbojas profesionāli tās horeogrāfu, vadītāju un radošo risinājumu ziņā, lai arī izpildītāji nav profesionāli. Tomēr tas neizslēdz iespēju, ka galaprodukts ir vērtējams profesionālā kontekstā. Orests Silabriedis: Kas tad ir tie, kas dejo laikmetīgo deju? Profesionāļi. Laikmetīgajā un arī klasiskajā dejā Latvijā iespējams iegūt augstāko izglītību un arī maģistra grādu, un arī teorētiski spēt sevi uzturēt tādā formā, ka tas nav tikai izglītības apliecinājums. Klasiskajā dejā ir vienkāršāk: mums ir baleta trupa, un tur arī faktiski 99 procenti dejotāju sevi realizē. Tas, kas notiek Baltajā namā, tas tad arī ir viss, vai ne? Tā būtu atsevišķa saruna, un to mani kolēģi žūrijas locekļi – Lita Beiris un Erlends Ritenbergs – arī uzsver, ka ir žēl, ka tā: mums pietrūkst norišu spēlētāju, kas varbūt to variētu, jo Baltā nama baleta trupa var nodrošināt tik, cik tā spēj, tomēr arī baleta pasaulē ir dažādas paaudzes. Man, piemēram, vienmēr žēl noskatīties un pat domāt, kas notiek pēc tam, kad baletdejotājs sasniedz vecumu, kad viņš praktiski var aiziet izdienas pensijā. Bet ar to jau neizbeidzas mākslinieka fiziskās un mākslinieciskās iespējas! Tās var transformēties un būt ne mazāk uzrunājošas skatītājiem. Bet, runājot par laikmetīgo deju, šeit ir milzīgi daudz starptautisko platformu. Tā ir globāla kustība, kurai ir ļoti daudz tīklu, kur var gan sevi trenēt, gan īstenot, gan arī iegūt zināšanas; rezidēt, braukt atpakaļ, veidot darbus rezidencēs, kas ir ārpus Latvijas – ļoti daudz ir tādu iespēju. Un tad varbūt to salikt kopā tepat Latvijā. Signe Lagzdiņa: Sintija jau iezīmēja vairākas problēmas, reizē ieskicējot žanrus, ko jūs vērtējat. Tie ir tik dažādi žanri, tik krasa atšķirība – ir skolu beiguši dejotāji un ir brīvā laika pavadīšanas pulciņi. Kā to var salikt pa plauktiņiem? Šķiet, ka būtiskākais ir saprast, ka katram žanram ir savi principi, savas stiprās puses, savi uzdevumi; katram savi spēles noteikumi. Protams, mēs vērtējam, un vērtēšana ir diezgan liels izaicinājums un atbildība. Man viens no svarīgajiem kritērijiem vērtēšanā ir darba mākslinieciskā vērtība: vai tas mani uzrunā? Jo cilvēks vairāk lasa, vairāk skatās, vairāk klausās, viņam ir vieglāk uztvert konkrēto darbu. Bet ir arī ļoti daudzas reizes, kad cilvēks bez lielas pieredzes konkrēto darbu sajūt, un tas viņu ietekmē. Tajā ir kas tāds, kas uzrunā, un to var saprast arī neprofesionāļi. Atbildot uz jūsu jautājumu, ir pilnīgi vienalga, vai tas ir profesionāļu vai neprofesionālu veikums – galvenais ir vēstījums. Mūsdienu dejas lauciņš šobrīd ir ļoti plašs. Mūsdienu deju grupu ir ļoti daudz, turklāt katrai deju grupai vēl ir apakšgrupas, kas saistītas ar dalībnieku vecumu. Vai skatāties arī bērnus un jauniešus, vai tomēr vērtējat pieaugušos dejotājus? Mūsdienu dejas kategorijā izvirzīti vairāki jauniestudējumi, kuros piedalījās jaunieši. Te atkal jārunā par kritērijiem, kā mēs vērtējam: vai mēs vērtējam tikai tehnisko sniegumu, vai arī māksliniecisko sniegumu un darba māksliniecisko vērtību. Mēģinām būt maksimāli objektīvi, tomēr daudzi no mums zina viens par otru, zina to stāstu, kas saistīts ar katru mākslinieku. Ir reizes, kad tas viss jāatmet malā un jādod ļoti skaidrs vērtējums tieši par konkrētajiem diviem gadiem. Piemēram, ir nominācijas, kurās mēs ļoti vēlamies atzīmēt kādu mākslinieku, kurš vairs nav aktīvs dejotājs, taču mēs visi viņu atceramies. Bet mums diemžēl jānoliek malā savas personīgās vēlmes un skaidri jāskatās uz divu gadu laika bildi un jāvērtē tikai tas, kas noticis šo divu gadu laikā. Vai varat dalīties ar kādām īpašām tendencēm, ko pamanījāt? Varbūt skatuviskajai tautas dejai kaut kas bijis īpaši raksturīgs tieši šo divu gadu periodā? Tā varētu būt stilizācija – deja kļūst vizuāli niansētāka, tai ir laikmetīgās dejas pieskaņa; manāma arī teātra mākslas klātbūtne. Otra lieta, ko var atzīmēt – tie ir autentiskuma meklējumi. Mums joprojām ir ļoti svarīgi atgriezties pie savām saknēm, iet dziļumā un atrast savu autentiskumu, kas, manuprāt, skatuviskajā tautas dejā atkal kļuvis vai joprojām ir svarīgs un nozīmīgs. Vēl manāma interese par reģionālajām īpatnībām. Turpretī mūsdienu dejā ir pilnīgi kaut kas cits? Mūsdienu dejai ir sociālo tīklu ietekme, "Tik Tok" ietekme. Te viss ir ātri, spilgti, fragmentāri, iedarbīgi – efekts tiek sasniegts uzreiz. Tā ka šeit ir nedaudz savādāk. Skatītāju daudzums aug, un mūsu mākslinieki piedalās lielās, lielās sacensībās; popularitāte aug un arī kvalitāte kļuvusi daudz, daudz spēcīgāka, daudz tehniskāka. Sintija Siliņa mazliet ieskicēs par baletu, un tad mēs paturpināsim mazliet arī par to. Sintija Siliņa: Tas, kas pamainījās ar šo - divgadīgā sadarbībā ar Kultūras ministrijas Dejas padomi, kas ir ar konsultatīvu iedabu, kurā tiek vērtēti tikai šajos divos gados pirmizrādītie jaundarbi, ja mēs runājam par iestudējumu vai notikumu. Un tā izrādījās problemātika baletam: daļa no uzvedumiem, ko mēs redzam repertuārā, ir iepirkti, tie ir pārlikti, un tie nav unikāli veidoti trupai, un līdz ar to sanāca, ka tie netiek vērtēti. Un tas ir arī bijis ar nolūku - gan Dejas padome, gan žūrija to darījusi ar nolūku, paužot tādu kā signālu: mēs gribam jaundarbus. Mums ir horeogrāfi, mēs gribam dot iespēju, mēs gribam stiprināt un veicināt iekšējos resursus. Sintija Siliņa labi paskaidroja, kāpēc bieži varbūt kādi baleta uzvedumi, kas daudziem droši vien šķiet spilgti, efektīgi, tomēr netiek līdz Dejas balvai. Jūs skatāties tikai uz jaunradi? Jā. Vai jūs no sava skatupunkta arī varat nedaudz komentēt baleta norises? Man ir grūti komentēt baleta norises. Daļēji piekrītu Sintijai: arī man gribas, lai Latvijā būtu lielāka iespēja māksliniekiem būt ne tikai izpildītājiem, bet lai brīdī, kad viņu dejotāja karjera tuvojas noslēgumam, viņi varētu turpināt radīt jauniestudējumus, radīt izrādes – būt horeogrāfi. Šis ir prakses jautājums, ko viņiem varētu dot Baltais nams – lai viņi praktizējas un kļūst par mūsu Latvijas turpmākajiem Latvijas lielajiem vārdiem, lielajiem horeogrāfiem, jo mums ir ļoti daudz talantīgu kolēģu, kuri pabeiguši Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmiju un kuriem vienkārši trūkst prakses – nav iespēju, kur rādīt šīs izrādes. Tāpēc man ir diezgan grūti komentēt, bet daļēji piekrītu: man gribas, lai būtu vairāk Latvijas baleta horeogrāfu. Visbeidzot laikmetīgā deja. Te jūs esat liels eksperts. Laikmetīgās dejas norises ved ļoti dažādos virzienos. Var būt kino eksperimenti, var būt arī nekustīgs dejas uzvedums vai pilnīga abstrakcija, tāpat laikmetīgā deja satiekas ar cirka elementiem un dejām virvēs. Kas notiek laikmetīgās dejas žanrā? Kur ir tā robeža, kad priekšnesums vairs nav laikmetīgā deja? Man šķiet, ka nevajadzētu apstāties, jo laikmetīgās dejas pluss un stiprā puse ir tā, ka nav skaidru robežu un interpretācija ir ļoti plaša. (..) Tāpat kā restorānā – vienam garšo, vienam nē. Man šķiet, ar to ir viss pateikts. Tas ir brīnišķīgi, ka laikmetīgā deja ir tik plaša un tajā runa var būt par ļoti daudzām tēmām. Laikmetīgā deja var būt arī iekļaujoša: tajā var piedalīties cilvēki ar invaliditāti, kuri, ja skatāmies no baleta vai mūsdienu dejas viedokļa, tajās nevar piedalīties. Taču laikmetīgajā dejā viņi var sevi realizēt, un tas ir brīnišķīgi! Tāpēc es laikmetīgo deju pagaidām neliktu rāmjos. Nezinu, kas notiks pēc kāda laika, taču pagaidām man šķiet, ka tas ir jauki. Dejas balvas žūrijas sastāvā ir arī Lība Bērziņa, kura rūpējas par to, lai cilvēkiem ar kustību traucējumiem būtu vides pieejamība. Viņa ir māksliniece, mākslas terapeite, mākslas mediatore. Tas ir ar nolūku – lai arī šādus procesus vieglāk izvērtētu? Lība mums ir ļoti daudz palīdzējusi ar savu viedokli. Kad žanra eksperti nereti par dziļu ieiet savās lietās, Lība vienmēr skaidri pasaka savu viedokli, un ļoti bieži mēs tajā ieklausāmies. Dzirdēt viedokli no malas vienmēr ir atsvaidzinoši. Tad galu galā - kāds tad ir tas žūrijas sastāvs, lai visus šos dažādos deju žanrus tā objektīvi, pēc iespējas profesionāli novērtētu, žūrijā jābūt katras jomas pārstāvim. oreiz Dejas balvā katrā žanrā ir divi žūrijas pārstāvji. Tā iepriekš nebija? Manuprāt, nebija. Manuprāt, bija katra žanra pārstāvis un neatkarīgais eksperts, kāds šobrīd ir Lība. Šos divus gadus vērtē deviņi cilvēki. Tas ir mazliet vieglāk – mēs varam savā starpā parunāties. Jo dialogs jau ir pats būtiskākais, lai kaut ko tādu izvērtētu un saprastu, kurp doties. Vai jūs jau zināt, kas notiek ar nākamā perioda žūriju? Paliek Sintija Siliņa, es nepalieku. Nāk klāt Kristīne Brīniņa, brīnišķīga laikmetīgās dejas horeogrāfe. Kopumā ir ļoti jauks, spilgts laikmetīgās dejas pārstāvju sastāvs. Un nu vēl viens fragments no sarunas ar Sintiju Siliņu, kur viņa runā par abstrakciju un dejas saprašanu. Sintija Siliņa: Nav noslēpums, ka Latvijas kultūras patērētājs, ja runājam par skatuves mākslu, ir teātra virzīts, naratīva virzīts, skaidra vēstījuma virzīts. Lai viss ir ļoti ātri uztverams. Abstrakcija ir kas tāds, kas joprojām ienāk lēni un joprojām skaitās margināla. Te mums jāpievēršas vēl vienai lietai, kas mums izpaliek, jo mums nākas cīnīties ar to stigmu, ka tā ir līdzvērtīga māksla. Horeogrāfijai ir neskaitāmas tehnikas un veidi, tāpat kā mūzikas radīšanā vai vizuālās mākslas tehnikās. Un veidi, kā strādāt, būvējot horeogrāfisku materiālu – ko tu tajā ietilpini vai neietilpini –, arī ir vesela disciplīna. Taču nākas domāt par to, kā mani sapratīs skatītājs – vai atnāks, vai atkal nesūdzēsies, ka neko nesaprot... Vai jums arī šādas dilemmas dažkārt ir? Vai jūs uztraucaties par to, ka jūs un jūsu paveikto kādreiz nesapratīs? Liekuļošu, ja teikšu, ka mani neuztrauc tas, kā skatītājs uztvers manu darbu. Protams, ka domāju par to, jo es taču strādāju tam, lai manu veikumu kāds novērtē, skatās un esmu ļoti priecīgs par to, ka man vispār ir iespēja pateikt to, ko gribu pateikt, īstenot savas iekšējās intereses un izvērst tēmas, kuras man ir ļoti aktuālas. Esmu ļoti pateicīgs, ja varu to kādam parādīt. Bet par to saprašanu – bieži vien jādomā abstrakti. Arī skatoties skatuvisko tautas deju, noder abstraktā domāšana. Bet nu tomēr: ja mēs gribētu patulkot kādus soļus, jums ir kādi pavedieni, ko jūs mums varat atklāt, ja dodamies uz kādu dejas izrādi? Kam pievērst uzmanību, ja ir tā sajūta, ka neko nesaprotu? Soļus tulkot nevajag! Par to esmu pārliecināts. Kā jau minēju: jo vairāk skatos un redzu, jo vieglāk uztvert. Mana personīgā recepte ir šāda: man ļoti nepatīk uz izrādi atnākt pēdējā brīdī. Kad skrienu, nedaudz kavēju un neesmu gatavs pašā izrādes sākumā tai pieslēgties un uztvert brīvi un atvērti. Tā būtu viena no lietām – ka neizvirzām pārāk lielas ekspektācijas: atnākam kā atvērta, balta lapa, lai bez lielām ekspektācijām un dziļas analīzes vienkārši baudītu. Tas reizēm ļoti labi palīdz. Jūsu padoms labi noderēs, arī dodoties uz koncertiem, teātri un operu! Bet vēl runājot par teātri. Jūs pats darbojaties dažādos teātros: ir izrādes, kurās iedzīvināts jūsu solis. Viena no izrādēm ir Latvijas Nacionālā teātra iestudējums "Ilgu tramvajs". Jā, tā bija ļoti jauka sadarbība ar Pēteri [Krilovu], kurš māk uzaicināt mākslinieku savā komandā tā, ka tikai tad, kad esi nolicis klausuli, saproti, ka esi jau piekritis. (smejas) Sarunas laikā tu runā par to darbu, it kā nekādi termiņi un uzdevumi īsti neatskan, bet pēc tam tu saproti, ka viss – tu esi iekšā, tu jau esi piekritis… Man ļoti patīk vērot, kā strādā Pēteris, un šī bija fantastiska pieredze redzēt arī, kā aktieri klausās un strādā. Redzēju katru mēģinājumu – brīnišķīgo aktieru darbu un viņu sniegumu. Tas bija ļoti, ļoti vērtīgs process. Maija Doveika un Jana Lisova pirmizrādes banketā esot uzsaukušas mazo tostu, kurā viņas man pateicās par neredzamo kustību... Tas bija ļoti liels kompliments, jo izrādē ne vienmēr ir deja – ir arī tādi risinājumi, ko skatītājs neasociēs ar deju. Tas bija ļoti patīkams kompliments. Ļoti, ļoti laba sadarbība, laba, dziļa, emocionāla izrāde – iesaku visiem!

Lakers hold Minnesota to a season low in points! Tie up the series
Slovenská spoločnosť zápasí s obrovskou mierou nedôvery. Neveríme si navzájom a nedôverujeme ani kľúčovým politickým inštitúciám. Tie čísla sú alarmujúce, ale berme to ako výzvu, hovorí výskumník inštitútu DEKK Hugo Gloss. "Celé sa to točí okolo toho, či máme spoločný cieľ a zdieľanú identitu - že vieme, kto sme, čo chceme a kam kráčame." Dum spero, spiro, teda: Kým dúfaš, dýchaš. Dôvera je základným predpokladom akéhokoľvek funkčného spoločenstva i každej zmysluplnej spoločnosti. Slovensko však zachvátil vírus hlbokej a čoraz viac sa šíriacej nedôvery. Potvrdzuje to i aktuálny prieskum inštitútu sociálnej kohézie DEKK podľa ktorého len niečo vyše 20 percent respondentov deklarovalo, že iným ľuďom sa dá veriť. V prípade mladých sú čísla ešte horšie. Paradoxne, najväčšou nedôverou a obozretnosťou netrpia najmenej vzdelaní a najchudobnejší, ale ľudia, u ktorých sa ambície a predstavy o tom, ako by mali žiť, zrazili s realitou či ich vlastnými schopnosťami a predpokladmi. No a v rámci všetkých meraných inštitúcií v dôvere bodovali vedci a vedecké inštitúcie. Naopak ti, ktorí nám tak radi hovoria do života - teda politické inštitúcie, si vyslúžili najmenšiu dôveryhodnosť.Slovensku však chýba nielen dôvera, ale aj spoločný príbeh, teda niečo zásadné, na čom by sme sa ako spoločnosť dokázali zhodnúť - o tom, kto sme, kam smerujeme a čo vlastne chceme. Stali sme sa priestorom obývaným akýmisi vzájomne súperiacimi modernými kmeňmi.Funkčné spoločnosti sú tie, kde ľudia sadia stromy, v tieni ktorých nikdy nebudú sedieť. Teda, že ja dnes robím také rozhodnutia, z ktorých nebudem benefitovať ja, ale až moje deti a ich deti - teda, že viem, že to nie je iba o mne, ale celý ten príbeh je väčší, hovorí Hugo Gloss.Kto tu teda komu nedôveruje a prečo? Kam táto vysoká miera nedôvery môže viesť a ako sa s takto vzájomne si neveriacimi Tomášmi dá vybudovať akékoľvek zmysluplne fungujúce spoločenstvo? Nakoľko sa táto nedôvera vzájomne preplieta s frustráciou a rastúcou polarizáciou a koľko z toho má na rováši štát a jeho inštitúcie, ktoré opakovane zlyhávali v plnení spoločenského kontraktu a plnení vlastných sľubov a záväzkov? No a napokon, ako sa vydať na cestu hľadania a nachádzania vzájomných mostov, najmenších možných spoločných menovateľov a obnovovania tak prepotrebnej dôvery? Ráno Nahlas s výskumníkom z inštitútu sociálnej kohézie DEKK Hugom Glossom. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.
Atliek uz mirkli pavērot pērtiķveidīgo dzīvnieku kustības, uzvedību, pat skatienu un uzreiz tik uzkrītošas līdzības varam saskatīt ar mums pašiem. Dzīvnieki, kas izpelnījušies titulu, kā visgudrākie un attīstītākie no dzīvniekiem, veido paši savas saziņas formas un vienlaikus spēj saprasties ar cilvēku. Iepazīstam to daudzveidību! Stāsta Rīgas Nacionālā Zooloģiskā dārza pārstāvis Māris Lielkalns. "Mēs, cilvēki, nenovērtējam pērtiķus. Re, kāds foršs, mīļš, jauks pērtiķītis, re, kāds viņš blēņdaris un tamlīdzīgi. Tad, kad viņš viņš pataisa vaļā zobus un parāda savus ilkņus, tad tiem, kas vairāk saprot no pērtiķiem, ļoti liela pārliecība rodas par pērtiķu spēku, par pērtiķu spējām aizstāvēties, par viņu ilkņu asumu," norāda Māris Lielkalns. Pērtiķi var būt ļoti bīstami. "Bet visu šo savu bīstamību un bīstamības ieročus viņi liek lietā tikai pašā pēdējā situācijā. Sākumā, ja ir iespējams, viņi vispirmām kārtām draud. Tas ir gan ciešs acu skatiens vai kaut kādas draudu pozas, arī māņu uzbrukums. Pērtiķis, liels, milzīgs, nēsās virsū cilvēkam, bet apstājas. Tas ir drauds, tā ir iebiedēšana. Viņš nav gatavs apēst viņu, to cilvēku, vienalga, to, kuru grib nobiedēt. Bet viņš vienkārši draud, ka var būt ziepes. Ja ne nekas no tā visa nelīdz, tad liek lietā arī savus nopietnākos instrumentus," turpina Māris Lielkalns. Pastāvīga asins izliešana nenotiek, līdzīgi kā cilvēku barā, un arī daudzu dzīvnieku, ne tikai pērtiķu, bet arī plēsēju - baros. "Pērtiķi ir apveltīti ar pamatīgiem ieročiem, bet līdz ar to viņiem ir arī dažādi rituāli, pakļaušanās rituāli, dominēšanas rituāli, kad viņš var parādīt savu pārākumu un līdz ar to arī nu, nelikt lietā šo instrumentu," norāda Māris Lielkalns. Ir lasīts un dzirdēts par kādiem pērtiķiem, kas kaut ko iemācījušies darīt vai pat darbarīkus lietot. "Protams, šie primāti, ir visattīstītākie, jo smadzeņu daudzums arī ir krietni lielāks nekā citiem proporcionāli viņu ķermeņiem. Tie gudrākie un spējīgāki vairāk izfunktierēt. Tā ir noskatīšanās, kāds kaut ko ir mēģinājis darīt, piemēram, noskalot barību ūdenī. O, pēc tam šo var izmantot. Līdz ar to nu arī pārējie pamācās. Kāds no pērtiķiem ir pamēģinājis, šimpanzes jau šajā ziņā ir priekšzīmīgākās, paņēmis irbulīti un ar to irbulīti termītus dzenā. Ā, viņam izdevās, ja tas ir labs, viņi jau noskatās viens no otra, ko darīt un kā darīt. Tās ir sabiedriskās dzīves priekšrocības," stāsta Māris Lielkalns. "No otras puses ir arī savstarpējā konkurencē. Tas nozīmē, ka dažs labs pērtiķis mēģina kaut kā izcelties. Patiesībā pērtiķi visi cenšas izcelties. Ikviens sevi cienošs pērtiķis grib būt priekšnieks barā. Tas, protams, ir pirmām kārtām, labi - liela atbildība, bet otrām kārtām tās ir priekšrocības. Gan tev visas dāmas ir pieejamas, gan pirmais vari tikt pie barības un labākas barības. Lai tiktu uz augšu pa hierarhijas trepītēm, izmanto dažādus variantus." Māris Lielkalns min piemēru, kur kāds pērtiķis atradis skārda gabalu un to skandinājis, un baidījis citus. Sākumā tas ļāvis pavirzīties pa hierarhijas kāpnītēm, bet pēc tam jau citi atklājuši, ka šis tikai ārdās. Vai tiešām cilvēka mugurkaulam ir problēmas kopš evolūcijas procesā homo sapiens nostājās uz divām kājām? Kādas vēl, tā teikt, nepilnības ir atrodamas cilvēka ķermenī, salīdzinot ar dzīvniekiem, pārāk šaurs iegurnis, pārlieku daudz zobu mutē un lielāka iespēja aizrīties. Par to stāsta Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes Anatomijas un antropoloģijas institūta asociētā profesore Silvija Umbraško. "Evolūcija nerada pilnību, tā rada funkciju." ir sacījis Prinstonas universitātes antropologs Alans Manns. Un šoreiz aplūkojam, kuras ir tās nepilnības, ja cilvēka ķermeņa uzbūvi pretstatām dzīvniekiem. Nerunāsim par tādām lietām, kā ātra skriešana, spēja lidot vai ilgstoši uzturēties zem ūdens, bet gan, kādi orgāni mums evolūcijas gaitā ir zaudējuši savu nozīmi, tas ir, tie kļuvuši rudimentāri, piemēram, astes kauls, un kā, cilvēka ķermenim attīstoties, daži orgāni, iespējams, nav pilnveidojušies. Izrādās astes kaulu vainot nevaram, arī ja tā mums nebūtu, tad neplānota piezemēšanās šā vai tā sāpētu. Skatām tālāk, kas mūsu ķermenī ir palicis no ļoti seniem laikiem. Tie ir tā saucamie gudrības zobi, kuri, iespējams, pirms cilvēks iemācījās apstrādāt un pagatavot pārtiku, noderēja barības sasmalcināšanā, bet evolūcijas gaitā zaudēja savu nozīmi. Par savu izvēlēto grāmatu stāsta Latvijas Universitātes Eksakto zinātņu un tehnoloģiju fakultātes vadošā pētniece docente Gunta Kalvāne. "Runājot par grāmatām, manā plauktiņā sadzīvo draudzīgi gan zinātniskā literatūra par klimatu, par klimata pārmaiņām, par ilgtspēju, kas ir mana pētījuma joma, gan arī tā dēvētās pašpalīdzības grāmatas, piemēram, kā nopelnīt miljonu, grāmatas, kas palīdz vairāk saprast cilvēka emocijas, komunikāciju, kā cilvēks domā, uztver, kas var noderēt darbā. Bet grāmata, par kuru es vēlētos pastāstīt vairāk, ir tā, kurā ir visvairāk pasvītrojumu, izsaukuma zīmju," atklāj Gunta Kalvāne. Pagājušajā gadā Gunta Kalvāne piedalījās Ģeogrāfijas kongresā Dublinā un viņu uzrunāja Triniti koledžas profesores stāsts par klimata emocijām. Tur arī iegādājusies vairākas grāmatas par klimata emocijām, par to, kā mēs uztveram klimata pārmaiņas. Un no šīm visaktuālākā ir Sāras Rejas grāmata "Vadlīnijas klimata trauksmei" jeb kā vēsta grāmatas apakšvirsraksts "Kā palikt vēsam jeb noturīgam planētā, kuras sasilst". (Sarah Jaquette Ray "Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet"). "Tā ir drīzāk padomu grāmata, kā gan pasniedzējiem, gan vecākiem, bet patiesībā ikvienam saprast klimata emocijas, klimata emociju spēku un kāpēc par klimata emocijām ir jārunā," bilst Gunta Kalvāne.
Slovenská spoločnosť zápasí s obrovskou mierou nedôvery. Neveríme si navzájom a nedôverujeme ani kľúčovým politickým inštitúciám. Tie čísla sú alarmujúce, ale berme to ako výzvu, hovorí výskumník inštitútu DEKK Hugo Gloss. "Celé sa to točí okolo toho, či máme spoločný cieľ a zdieľanú identitu - že vieme, kto sme, čo chceme a kam kráčame," dodáva. Dum spero, spiro, teda: Kým dúfaš, dýchaš. Dôvera je základným predpokladom akéhokoľvek funkčného spoločenstva i každej zmysluplnej spoločnosti. Slovensko však zachvátil vírus hlbokej a čoraz viac sa šíriacej nedôvery. Potvrdzuje to i aktuálny prieskum inštitútu sociálnej kohézie DEKK podľa ktorého len niečo vyše 20 percent respondentov deklarovalo, že iným ľuďom sa dá veriť. V prípade mladých sú čísla ešte horšie. Paradoxne, najväčšou nedôverou a obozretnosťou netrpia najmenej vzdelaní a najchudobnejší, ale ľudia, u ktorých sa ambície a predstavy o tom, ako by mali žiť, zrazili s realitou či ich vlastnými schopnosťami a predpokladmi. No a v rámci všetkých meraných inštitúcií v dôvere bodovali vedci a vedecké inštitúcie. Naopak ti, ktorí nám tak radi hovoria do života - teda politické inštitúcie, si vyslúžili najmenšiu dôveryhodnosť.Slovensku však chýba nielen dôvera, ale aj spoločný príbeh, teda niečo zásadné, na čom by sme sa ako spoločnosť dokázali zhodnúť - o tom, kto sme, kam smerujeme a čo vlastne chceme. Stali sme sa priestorom obývaným akýmisi vzájomne súperiacimi modernými kmeňmi.Funkčné spoločnosti sú tie, kde ľudia sadia stromy, v tieni ktorých nikdy nebudú sedieť. Teda, že ja dnes robím také rozhodnutia, z ktorých nebudem benefitovať ja, ale až moje deti a ich deti - teda, že viem, že to nie je iba o mne, ale celý ten príbeh je väčší, hovorí Hugo Gloss.Kto tu teda komu nedôveruje a prečo? Kam táto vysoká miera nedôvery môže viesť a ako sa s takto vzájomne si neveriacimi Tomášmi dá vybudovať akékoľvek zmysluplne fungujúce spoločenstvo? Nakoľko sa táto nedôvera vzájomne preplieta s frustrácio a rastúcou polarizáciou a koľko z toho má na rováši štát a jeho inštitúcie, ktoré opakovane zlyhávali v plnení spoločenského kontraktu a plnení vlastných sľubov a záväzkov? No a napokon, ako sa vydať na cestu hľadania a nachádzania vzájomných mostov, najmenších možných spoločných menovateľov a obnovovania tak prepotrebnej dôvery? Ráno Nahlas s výskumníkom z inštitútu sociálnej kohézie DEKK Hugom Glossom. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

This Black History Month, I sit down with my friend Tie Whittaker, owner of Buttermilk Boutique. A professional pastry chef with over 13 years of experience, Tie blends her Southern roots and culinary expertise to create stunning pastries and elevated Afternoon Tea experiences that are redefining hospitality in North Carolina. Afternoon Tea may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Southern food, but Tie is transforming it into a space for nostalgia, storytelling, and exquisite flavors. Inspired by her grandmother Angel, whose baking was legendary in her community, Tie has turned family recipes into works of edible art, bridging the gap between heritage and innovation. In this episode, we explore her journey from political science to pastry, how Afternoon Tea is more than just an event—it's an immersive experience that celebrates culture and connection—and what it takes to build a brand that blends luxury with legacy. As a Black woman in pastry, Tie has carved her own path in an industry that hasn't always made space for chefs like her. Now, she's not just making room at the table—she's setting it with elegance and intention.

You have just five seconds. So hook ‘em in, keep them watching, and make those seconds count.Starting with a clear hook isn't just for YouTubers looking to make it big. Even if you're creating instructional videos that people have to watch for their job, you have just a few seconds to grab attention. If you don't, the video might still play but their concentration will be long gone. When you put all that effort into creating a video, the last thing you want is for your viewer to click away or leave it playing in the background while they're thinking about what to have for dinner that night. The short attention span thing is real. We all have 101 other things on our minds on any given day. So how do you grab attention and keep it?

Tiff and Kristy give listeners examples of different practices that have different definitions of ‘thriving.' They then provide questions each practice owner (or even team member) can ask themselves to identify what success looks like for them.

Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:02) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. We are so excited to be here with you today. My name is Tiffany. If you've never heard me on this podcast and you haven't been listening for long enough, then go back through, sift through. We've got so many episodes with so much amazing content and information for doctors and teams alike. There are very doctor-specific ones and very team-centric ones, but I do tell you this. Doctors, listen to them all because I want you to always know what your teams are doing, what they should be doing, or what they could be doing. So there's a million different ideas in here. Please make sure you listen to all of them. We love you for that and we value you as a listener, client, prospective client, or just listener. Thank you guys so much. Kristy, I've got you back here today. I have stolen you today for quite a few episodes and I am so, so thankful for you carving out this time in your calendar, making sure that we could be here together. I know we both really love this time together and I'm just super appreciative of it. So Kristy welcome and thank you for being here. Yeah. So I'm excited for today's podcast. One, because there's not a lot of structure to it. So it makes it fun for me. Cause I, you know, I just like to ramble sometimes. So just be here with it. Kristy (01:05) Thank you. The Dental A Team (01:19) I'm just kidding, but I am excited for today's podcast because I really love telling stories and I really love to utilize experiences that we have had, and teachings that we have done with other clients or things we've learned along the way. love utilizing those things to just provide more valuable information to the world. And today I want to, Kristy, just have conversation about the difference between surviving. and thriving in the business owner world. And these two words, I love them because you know, they almost rhyme and that makes it fun. And I think our marketing department enjoys that. But I really love it because it's such a wide definition for anyone, right? Just surviving could be someone else's thriving. And someone else's thriving could be someone else's I'll never get their dreams. Right? I think it's really interesting to chat about a subject like this because it is so in like independent, right? It's so dependent on the individual's dreams and what it means to them specifically. And Kristy, I think you have a really wonderful ability to articulate yourself really well. and to see into spaces of life for people and with people. And I just think it's really cool that you can take a statement and really see further into it than maybe your average Joe might be able to see. And so I want to pick your brain a little bit on this and the idea of thriving or surviving. And it kind of makes me think of, you know, our onboarding call when we get a new client and we ask them, you know, what does success mean to you? and what are your goals? mean we take them through this goal build out and Kristy what is this thriving or surviving like where does it take your brain? What do you think of and how do you think it relates to just dentistry right now? Kristy (03:26) Yeah, I'm with you. It is a vast subject, if you will, and it can mean different things to different people. Surviving could be that they just worked really hard and they're kind of burning out. They don't see the spark anymore, right? Yet, it could also mean that they're fearful. They don't know or they're unknowing of the next step. They don't know what's next. for them. They feel like they want to do more, but they don't know how to do it. I think asking more questions when we get on these calls. And I love that you say that onboarding because they obviously come to us for a reason, but sometimes I think they are just surviving and they don't really even know what they're looking for yet. And same with thriving. mean, thriving, it almost sounds like it has a little more positive spin on it, but yet sometimes The Dental A Team (04:16) Yeah. Kristy (04:25) Our docs don't feel that way when they're thriving. They feel burnout as well. So it is a big topic on both sides. The Dental A Team (04:29) and Yeah, I agree. And I think the difference there, right, or the space to find is the definition. And so, Docs, I think... Figure out what thriving means to you. What is it that you're going for? What is it that you're here for? If we don't have a purpose driven behind us, right? We don't have anything driving us to our goals, then you could make that $300,000 this month that you wanted and it still might mean nothing or you might just be surviving because like Kristy said, you're burnt out. So what does thriving mean? And I have, you know, I told you that we do this on our onboarding call. We chat with our doctors. We do this with every doctor that we work with. It's what is your business doing for your personal life? How is your business projecting your personal life and what do you want your business to afford it? I work really hard with every client that I have and Kristy, I know that you do too because we believe, both of us believe so strongly in this. I want your business to work for you, not you to work for your business. And I want your business to be providing that life for you. And... I've worked with a lot of clients over the years and Kristy, you've worked with a lot of clients over the years as well. And I have a few that really just come to mind for me. And my... one of my all-time favorite practices that I have ever worked with and I will say that from the freaking rooftops, from the mountaintops, from everywhere. They're incredible human beings and I want to tell their story today because I think it's a really incredible space for everyone to find themselves a little bit in what this practice went through and where they are today. And when I met this practice, they were pretty new to ownership. I think they were about three years in, a doctor and his husband. And they had just decided that his husband was going to leave his job, which is not in dental whatsoever. He has no dental knowledge and become the office manager. And they decided this because it was the easy route and that it just kind of really made sense for them personally in a lot of different ways. So it made sense and it was all good. And they had a lot of ambition. They had a lot of change that needed to be made. And then they had a team that was just kind of upside down and at each other's throats. And they were three years into having taken over a practice and they really didn't lose a lot of team members in that takeover, which was impressive, but We had a lot of cattiness going on in that practice. And one of the first things that I had them work on, they had been working with somebody already who was working on their numbers and telling them, gosh, you need to expand and you need more room, you need more space, and you can do so many cool things. And I sat them down and I said, yeah, absolutely, you can do all those things. That's not a question in my mind. But do you want to do those things? Why are you doing those things? Why did you become an office manager? Why did you become a dentist? And how do we know when you've reached it? What does success look like to you guys? And I made them sit down and I made them figure it out together as a couple. And I made them figure it out individually within their own positions. And this process of really figuring out the impact that they needed and they wanted to make on the community. turned into this incredible space of this dentist wanting to serve a community who is unserved and unseen within their rural town community and it's just really impressive and so amazing and this community thrives with him like they just they know him for it and he's been able to make his name out of this this space because he really believes in it but really what it did was it allowed them to not only see the community aspect but to also see the team aspect and it we worked together, Osmander and I have worked side by side for many years now and he is this incredible human that just said he wanted something different. He wanted to go home feeling different every day. He wanted his team to feel different every day and we worked through a lot of personal development spaces, a lot of leadership spaces and he has come just, I mean he's achieved so much but in the early stages it really was about him being able to see what he wanted his team to say about the practice when they weren't at work. So when they're in the community, are they recommending my practice? When they're in the community, are they thinking about the office and are they representing the practice or are they just done working? And he wanted to build a community within their team. He wanted to build a place where his team felt loved and welcomed and all of these things. And that was to him what thriving as an office manager would be. he would feel less stressed obviously and feel more in tune with his position. But if he had a team that could stand behind him and he had a team that he could say they were thriving, they were reaching goals, that to him was success. And we worked through so much leadership. Gosh, tenfold with this team. got his entire team. They both did got their entire team invested in the leadership like space and in learning the leadership. Now doesn't mean they had leadership. They had a leadership team. They had a team that was invested in themselves and learning how to lead their own positions. And gosh, Kristy, they did it to do the add on. They did the add on within two years. They did the add on. They did a full remodel of that practice within three years of us working together. I believe is what that was. We got the owner doctor to, he's in a space now where he's mostly surgery. He's got a thriving associate that he has mentored the heck out of and really, really done well on leading him to be a successful dentist and refers to him for his GP dentistry. gosh, recently purchased, they, purchased a building that they also have suites in there that they're renting out to other people and that's this whole property management, but they've been able to because they wanted to make such a massive impact on their community. You guys, like they built this place for their community. They've built out a 16,000 square foot practice in their rural town. And it's beautiful. is gosh, it's so beautiful. But the entire process, I have to say, the entire process was built around what could help our community. There was even talks of like Kristy (11:04) And, you know, it was a thank you. The Dental A Team (11:18) a gardening area there so that it can be, they want things to be more green, Like green, like reduce, reuse, recycle green, right? And they thought, gosh, if we had an area where the community, the local community could have herbs or gosh, they're here for their appointment and they needed some oregano for dinner tonight and we've got herbs over here that they can just pick and take home with them, that would serve our community. they, and every space it became, their thriving became a space of how are we serving our team and our community in the best ways possible. I can't even tell you, think you can imagine 16,000 square feet, like what their revenue needs to be, what their profitability needs to be, like they have exponentially projected their personal lives and their business is working for them. And Kristy, it's just been so incredible to watch them come. from the space that they were in, but really learn and be able to express what success looks like for them. And I think success doesn't have to be a 16,000 square foot building. Like it's beautiful, right? It is gorgeous. And I have other practices that are like, gosh, Tiff, no, like I want to work three and a half days a week. I have four operatories. I want two hygienists a day. And I want to work out of the other two operatories. And I hope that dentist is thriving. And there are days he calls me and he's like, I'm only surviving. It definitely will come in waves and it has its ups and its downs, but he knows what success looks like for him as well. He knows what he wants to accomplish and he knows if he can do the amount of dentistry and impact the community in the ways that he wants to on three and a half days, that propels his personal life. He gets time with his kids, he gets time with his wife, he can take vacations, like all of these spaces. So two drastically different. practices, but the point there, are you surviving? Are you thriving or just surviving? Is that they know the difference between that. And it is financial, they do have financial goals because that's how we we gain the profit. But in order to get to those financial goals, Kristy, we had to invest in the leadership and we had to define those words, we had to know what does it mean to be thriving? What does success look like? And in the on the days when it's just surviving, what are we looking forward to? What are we looking towards? That gets us back in that thrive mindset. And it's just been so much fun, Kristy and I Kristy (13:47) Yeah. The Dental A Team (13:52) I just love it and I wanted to make sure you guys heard those stories today because it's so incredible. Kristy, you have so many clients too that you have worked through as well. And what do you feel like when we have clients define and when you've worked with clients previously, when they define that success marker, what do you feel like the commonalities are that you see when people are like, yeah, that would be success for me? Kristy (14:17) Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head and that it's different for everyone. And I think that you truly have to get down to your emotional why, if you will. Because even though, I mean, we don't really work with any nonprofit people. So we all know that we have for-profit businesses. That just is a given. If we're not making a profit, then our business isn't successful. in every one of our clients, it's so much more than that. It's what is it going to give them? And just like you said, I mean, we have the ones that work five days a week, and we have the ones that work two and a half, and they're not ever gonna work more than that. And that's okay. But it's, what is it giving them? And like you with these guys, it's about the community. And for other ones, it could be about them spending time with family, right? And so everybody's why is different, but I guess the common theme, and when I really see, because we're going to use the words, thriving, not just the dentist, but the team, they have articulate, the dentist has articulated their why down to that emotional aspect, so clear that everybody knows what we're going for. The Dental A Team (15:26) Yeah. Kristy (15:41) And I would also say it's also taking a step back and investing in your team to find out what their why is. Because they're coming to work for a reason as well. And when we're all thriving and going in that same direction and it's meeting those needs for everyone, that's when you get that synergy and it just shines through. I mean, when you have a bad day, you know the why that you're working for on the good day. The Dental A Team (16:10) Yeah. That's beautiful. I love the team aspect that you brought into that because it's so true. And I think I would just challenge everybody now to define those spaces. Like what is thriving? What is surviving and surviving you guys, especially when there's only the two words, right? It sounds like well, surviving is fantastic and surviving or dying. Like, that's not it at all. Surviving is sometimes I'm like, no, I'm happy to be surviving right now. Like I'm good. I am good. And surviving for me today is thriving. So Kristy (16:30) you The Dental A Team (16:41) find all of those spaces. What is thriving? Like what does success look like to you? What is surviving? What is that space? And what is the this is a panic button space. And I need I need to get out of here. I think Define all three of those and really like Kristy said, go through that emotional space. Tie it to something that's insanely important to you because when it's insanely important to you, you won't let go of it. You will dig your heels in on those days when you're like, this is panic mode. I need to get back to surviving. How do I get out of this? You're gonna do it. You're gonna push it and you're gonna get all the way. You're gonna surpass surviving and get straight to thriving. So action items, you guys. What is your mission and vision? What are they tied to? Because your mission and vision, especially in the dental world, can get a little clinically and it's like... Kristy (17:30) you The Dental A Team (17:31) I know, just chat GPT, give chat GPT your, I always tell it like a millennial flair, like give it your tone. What do you need this to say? Right? Just make them not so stuffy, you guys, number one, but do your mission vision. Why are you here? Why did you become a dentist? What is it that you're after? Why do you own a practice? What are you trying to accomplish? And then what's your why behind that? What is it pushing for you personally? What is it doing for you in your personal life? What is your business affording you? Why are you going to work every day. And then I would look at your core values. Do your core values align with your mission, vision, and why? And do they create a culture in your team that will project those into the? existence, right? So if our core values are like totally off base, and not creating the culture that you want, tackle your core values and do those simultaneously with your team. I would say work them up on your own, know what yours are, and invite your team share them with your team and invite your team to give feedback to Kristy (18:18) you The Dental A Team (18:35) answer more questions to provide different angles, different points of view, and maybe even for them, I've had many teams really work their own personal core values. So if I know my core values as a human being, like who I am as a person outside of work, what my core values are, makes it very easy for me to be able to see how I align with the practice that I'm working with. So Actionable items you guys to really be able to see this space doesn't have to and the reason I did not Have you office the reason I did not take today's podcast. Are you thriving or surviving? I could have talked financials with you guys. I could have said so many thriving practices who see millions of dollars a year and 20 to 40 % profit in some practices, I could have taken you down those roads and let that be today's podcast. But I believe with my entire heart that that is not the only reason that you could you could say you're thriving. I thriving is different for everyone. And that's the reason that we took today's podcast in this direction. Figure out what thriving means to you. If thriving means a $2.5 million practice per year, then fantastic. Let's get you there. But I still want that why I still want to know what 2.5 is going to do for you. I still want to know what that extra operatory is going to do for that practice and why we needed to remodel and why we needed a new building. I still want to know why because I want to make sure that whatever it is that you're doing that you're spending your money on makes a difference in your life. So we could have talked financials and I can give you all those if you want to know, but I'm not here to give you a space where you can compare yourself to someone else's success. I'm here to say you've got to figure out what that success looks like and I will always ask you why every single time like the annoying little four year old that only knows the word why. So, Kristy, thank you so much for taking this journey with us today. This was a really fun one for me. I know we both love the like leadership introspective personal emotional tie side of life so thank you for for taking that journey and will you will you wrap us leave the leave everyone with your take and and your perspective. I love when you do that for us and I'm here for it today. Kristy (20:58) Yeah, you know, I love that you didn't take the money route because I've had clients come in that are You know collecting six million dollars that aren't thriving, right? And so you're you're absolutely right But I think the last takeaway would be as you're defining those core values really get clear with your team I'll give you an example I had a doctor that one of his core values was lived by the golden rule and that can be I mean you would think it's pretty crystal clear, but always explain what that looks like to you as the doctor when you're setting those. And then I challenge you guys as teams to what are some daily things that you can do that help achieve that? You know, so we're all rowing in the same direction. So give it a little bit of clarity, not just to find it, but explain what it means to you and share that part. Really, that comes from the heart. Your teams appreciate it and then teams, you know, let your docs know what you will do to make that live, you know? So that would be my advice. The Dental A Team (22:03) That's beautiful. Thank you. Thank you, Kristy. I hope that you guys loved this podcast today. I hope that you really listen to it and that you share it with the world.

Turpinām gatavoties sezonai, kad lietus mēdz uznākt pēkšņi, kopā ar negaisu un stihiskām parādībām – stirpu vēju vai krusu. Šīs parādības vislabāk iespējams novērot, novērtēt un pēc tam prognozēt ar meteoroloģiskā radara datiem. Kā tas darbojas un kāpēc Latvijā ar radaru mums joprojām ir problēmas? Vārds radars ir šīs tehnoloģijas nosaukuma saīsinātā vērsija. Tā gan ir tik plaši lietota, ka saīsinājums jeb abreviatūra ir kļuvusi par lietvārdu, bet patiesībā RADAR ir saīsināta angļu valodas frāze - "Radio Detecting And Ranging" - radio detektēšana un attāluma noteikšana. Diemžēl dažādas privātas meteoroloģiskās kompānijas, kas mūsdienās piedāvā laika prognožu lietotnes un interneta vietnes, šo terminu ir sabojājušas un raisījumas apjukumucilvēku galvās. Bieži nākas saņemt no cilvēkiem ekrānšaviņus ar kādām laika prognožu kartēm, ko viņi lieto telefonā vai datorā, un lai kāds būtu jautājums, tas bieži sākas: "šajā radara kartē rādā to un to, piemēram, ka ārā jābūt +10 grādiem, bet patiesībā ir +15, vai rādīja, ka pēc pāris stundām līs, paiet pāris stundas un nelīst". Radars faktiski piedāvā tikai vienu informāciju, karti, kas parāda, kur šobrīd līst. Vai snieg. Kur ir nokrišņi šobrīd rēālā laikā. Viss pārējais, ko dažādas lietotnes mēdz saukt par laikapstākļu radaru, ir vienkārši viņu izdomāts nosaukums, lai padarītu viņu lietotni uzticamāku vai it kā profesionālāku. Radars, tāpat kā termometrs, tikai konstatē esošo. Tas neko neprognozē. Viss, kas kartē parādās ar nākotnes laiku, ir prognoze, tas nav radars. Ļoti labi šo var atcerēties, veidojot asociāciju ar satiksmē izmantotajiem fotoradariem. Tie fiksē automašīnas braukšas ātrumu, tie neprognozē, cik ātri mašīna brauks pēc 10 minūtēm vai stundas. Radari gan ir spējīgi noteikt vēl citas atmosfēras īpašības, ne tikai konstatēt nokrišņu esamību vai neesamību parasti 100-200 kilometru radiusā, bet šos datus publiski parāda reti kurš meteodienests, jo tie ir specifiski. Radars var noteikt nokrišņu veidu un vēja ātrumu. Bet šīs nedēļas aktualitāte saistās ar Sahāras tuksneša smiltīm. Šonedēļ atkal par tām dzirdēsim ziņās, jo šādās situācijās, kad daļu Eiropas un tik tālu uz ziemeļiem kā Baltiju, sasniedz aprīlim netipiski siltas gaisa masas, tās nāk pa taisno no Ziemeļāfrikas. Turklāt, lai gaiss mūs sasniegtu tik silts - kā prognozēts, nedēļas otrajā pusē temperatūra var būt pat virs 25 grādiem, tam jānāk strauji, lai pa ceļam nepaspētu pārāk atdzist. Tas nozīmē, ka gaisa masā visos tās slāņos ir arī dinamiski vēji, kas parāvuši līdzi tuksneša smiltis. Šoreiz gan modelēšanas dati rāda, ka lielākā daļa šo putekļu izkliedēsies un izsēdīsies jau Eiropas centrālajā daļā, Baltiju sasniegs relatīvi mazākā koncentrācijā, un ir pamatotas cerības, ka šie putekļi lielākoties atradīsies arī atmosfēras augstākos slāņos, nevis piezemē, tāpēc gaisa kvalitāti būtiski nemainīs.

Hi and welcome back to the Day Trading For Beginners podcast! I'm Tyler Stokes from StokesTrades.com, and this is Season 3, Episode 6. Today, I'm breaking down momentum trading, the strategy I'm using in my real money challenge from last week. I'm a beginner on a journey to become a full-time trader, but with my schedule, day trading's not something I can actively do at the moment. So I'm gaining experience with this strategy.Download the 6 Month Blueprint: https://stokestrades.com/blueprintTradingView Charting Software: Start a free trial hereTraderSync Trading Journal: Visit the official website hereResources Mentioned:Our Community on Skool: Come join us hereWhat I CoveredMomentum Trading Basics: What it is and how it differs from day trading.Why I Chose It: My schedule led me to this slower, less stressful approach.How It Works: Buy at support, ride the trend, hold for bigger moves.Tools I Use: Market structure, moving averages, and more—simple stuff!Key TakeawaysMomentum trading is about catching strong bull trends—higher highs, higher lows—buying at support when buyers are in charge. Think wealth-building, not quick flips! I stumbled into it because day trading's fast pace doesn't fit my life right now (kids, family, etc.). This strategy mixes swing trading vibes—holding days, weeks, or longer. That being said, you CAN trade this strategy on shorter time frames.How I do it: Spot bullish structure, buy low at support zones (using tools like Fibonacci, Ichimoku Cloud), and set limit orders at night—no daily stress!It's slower than day trading (fast profits, in-and-out) but simpler for beginners IMO. You don't need to watch every tick—just ride the trend and be patient.Tie-in: My real money challenge (updates in my Skool Group) uses this strategy—see my trades in action!Why It MattersDay trading's the end goal (at least I think it is right now), but momentum trading fits my reality—less time, less pressure, and still profitable if the trend's right. For beginners, it's a gentler start: no lightning-fast moves, just spotting trends and holding on. It's teaching me patience, planning, and market structure—skills I'll carry to day trading later. Plus, with markets shaky now (tariffs, flash crashes), buying support could pay off big down the road—not financial advice, just my take!Final ThoughtsI hope this peek into momentum trading helps! It's not as flashy as day trading (still my goal!), but it's working for me—slower, calmer, and wealth-focused. Markets are wild right now, but that's where support zones shine. Join the Skool Group and follow my real trades and see this strategy play out.

Pēc Lauku atbalsta dienesta datiem valstī šobrīd ir reģistrēti 235658 suņi un 45930 kaķi. No tiem pāri par 6000 suņu un 174 kaķu īpašnieki ir miruši. Kas notiek ar mīļdzīvniekiem pēc saimnieka aiziešanas aizsaulē? Šis jautājums juridiski nav sakārtots. Vai šo problēmu varētu risināt notāri, vērtējam raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Diskutē patversmes "Labās mājas" saimniece Astrīda Kārkliņa, Veterinārārstu biedrības, Mazo dzīvnieku veterinārārstu sekcijas pārstāve Lita Konopore un Latvijas Zvērinātu notāru padomes priekšsēdētāja vietniece Ilze Metuzāle. Lita Konopore norāda, ka, visticamāk, kāds gādā par dzīvnieku, kad saimnieks aiziet mūžībā. "Problēma ir tā, ka veterinārārsti nav tiesīgi šobrīd ierakstīt kā īpašniekus arī mantiniekus, ja tādi ir bijuši. Vienīgais, ko drīkst veterinārārsts - ja mirušā cilvēka pārstāvis vērstos veterinārajā klīnikā ar lūgumu risināt situāciju, tad veterinārārsts ir tiesīgs ierakstīt šo pārstāvi kā dzīvnieka turētāju, ierakstīt viņa turēšanas adresi un ierakstīt šī turētāja kontaktus," skaidro Lita Konopore. "Bet par dzīvnieka īpašnieku bez mantošanas procesa šobrīd mēs skaidri zinām, ka viņš kļūt nevar. Ja cilvēki nav vērsušies pie veterinārārsta un nav ierakstījuši šos kontaktus, tas nozīmē, ka dzīvniekam, piemēram, pazūdot, viņu nekad vairs neatgriezīs atpakaļ turētājiem, pie kura viņš šobrīd dzīvo. Mēs gluži vienkārši viņu nevaram sasniegt, jo datubāze ir palikusi informācija par mirušu personu. Tas ir ļoti nepareizi, jo dzīvnieks, protams, ka cieš no tā, ka viņš tiek notverts un nevis nonāk atpakaļ mājās, bet viņš nonāk patversmē. Visdrīzāk viņš tur paliek noteiktās 14 dienas, sliktākajā gadījumā viņš tur paliek visu atlikušo mūžu." Viņa norāda, ka veterinārārsti vēlas, ja ir mantošanas process un ir māja, kuru kāds vēlas mantot, vai nu tu manto māju un arī dzīvnieku. "Situācijas var būt dažādas. Nevar pateikt, ka mums visiem ir pienākums lauku māju dzīvniekus paņemt Rīgas pilsētā. Tas nav ne šī dzīvnieka interesēs, viņš ir pieradis pie pilnīgi citas dzīves. Un tas ir tikai normāli, ja, piemēram, mantinieks meklētu iespēju, ko un kā ar šo dzīvnieku rīkoties, kam uzticēt viņa aprūpi. Bet pilnīgi noteikti tas būtu par mantinieka līdzekļiem, nevis tā kā tagad - es vienkārši pametu, dzīvnieks nonāk patversmē un visi nodokļu maksātāji maksā par šo dzīvnieku." Astrīda Kārkliņa atzīst, ka patversmē ne reizi vien nonāk dzīvnieki, kuru saimnieki ir aizgājuši mūžībā. Līdzīgi kā vetārstiem, arī patversmes darbiniekiem nav tiesību pārreģistrēt dzīvnieka īpašnieku. Var reģistrēt patversmi kā dzīvnieka turēšanas vietu. "Mums ir brīnišķīgs Dzīvnieku aizsardzības likums, kas ir izstrādāts skrupulozi, kas aizsargā dzīvnieku, viņam ir saimnieks un skaidri ir uzrakstīti visi pienākumi saimniekam un tiesības. Un tad, kad pēkšņi saimnieka nav, tam dzīvniekam vairs nav nekādas aizsardzības, viņš ir vienkārši nekas, lai gan viņiem ir čips un viņš ir bijis reģistrā. Kas tālāk uzņemas tiesiski viņa dzīvi sakārtot," vaicā Astrīda Kārkliņa. "Ne reizi esam saskārušies ar situāciju, kad kādi attāli radinieki atved [dzīvnieku], tad mēs tā nu diezgan primitīvi uzdodam bieži vien šo jautājumu: bet kas manto šo dzīvokli, kas mantos to māju? Mēs mantosim, mēs tur! Kas notiek ar šo dzīvo būtni, pie tam kas ir reģistrēta? Tur ir pilnīgs klusums," stāsta Astrīda Kārkliņa. Ilze Metuzāle norāda, ka dokumentu sakārtošana vienmēr var palīdzēt "Cilvēki, kuriem ir šie lolojumiem dzīvnieki, domā par viņiem. Tiešām arī tiek domāts, testamentā tiek rakstīts, kuri būs tie, kas parūpēsies gan par konkrētiem dzīvniekiem, gan par tābrīža dzīvniekiem, saprotot, ka testaments netiek rakstīts vienai dienai. Ir pat tādi testamenti bijuši, kur pilnīgi visu mantu cilvēks ir novēl patversmēm, jo viņam nav tuvu piederīgo. Ir cilvēki, kas jau slimošanas gaitā, apzinoties, ka tā saslimšana ir un iznākumi var būt dažādi, pat tajā brīdī atbildīgi rūpējas un savu saimi jau organizē, kas par viņu tālāk parūpēsies. Protams, dzīve dzīve, un situācijas ir dažādas," atzīst Ilze Metuzāle.
Statistika rāda, ka ceļu satiksmes negadījumos cietušo un bojāgājušo skaits Latvijā turpina samazināties. Tajā pašā laikā ir izskanējis ierosinājums ieviest smagākus sodus par ceļu satiksmes noteikumu pārkāpumiem. Vai ar pātagu vien būs līdzēts, vaicājam ekspertiem raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Analizē Drošas braukšanas skolas direktors, autosportists Jānis Vanks un Ceļu satiksmes drošības direkcijas satiksmes drošības eksperts Oskars Irbītis. Ceļu satiksmes drošības direkcija (CSDD) plāno palielināt vadītājiem piemēroto sodu punktu skaitu par atļautā ātruma pārsniegšanu, apdzīšanas pārkāpumiem, telefona lietošanu braucot, nepietiekamu riepu protektora dziļumu un citiem. "Runājot par pārkāpumu uzskaites punktiem, visi ir uztvēruši, ka kaut ko mēģinās palielināt, bet to, ka mēģinās kaut ko samazināt, to ir palaiduši garām," komentē Oskars Irbītis. "Es pats strādāju pie šo soda punktu dzēšanas. Tie, kuri ir savākuši astoņus soda punktus un nav tos savākuši par agresīvu braukšanu vai par braukšanu alkoholisko vielu iespaidā, tie nāk pie manis uz kursiem. Vislielākā neapmierinātība cilvēkiem ir par to, ka visu laiku bija šī sistēma - plus divi, mīnus divi: ja cilvēks atnāk uz šiem kursiem, viņam divus punktus dzēš, ja neatnāk pusgada laikā, tad viņam divus pieskaita klāt." "Viens no aspektiem, kas ir jaunajā likumā paredzēts, ir novērst šo sistēmu, nebūs vairs plus divi, mīnus divi, būs tikai mīnus divi. Ja cilvēks atnāk un vēl pie tam neierobežotā laikā, nevis pusgadā, bet kad izdomā, ka viņam ir izdevīgi. Viņš atnāk un var šos divus punktus nodzēst. Ja viņš neatnāk, neviens viņam vairs neskaita klāt. Tas pats attiecas arī uz eksāmenu un tamlīdzīgi. Līdz ar to šī sistēma tiek sakārtota un ir izveidota daudz draudzīgāka cilvēkam un saprotamāka," skaidro Oskars Irbītis. "Vēl viens aspekts ir, ka par tiem pārkāpumiem, kas ir neuzmanības, nejaušības pārkāpumi, par tiem soda punktu skaitu ir plānots samazināt. Piemēram, neizieta tehniskā apskate, nenopirkta obligātā civiltiesiskā apdrošināšana. Naudas sods par šiem pārkāpumiem būs, bet punktu būs mazāk," norāda Oskars Irbītis. "Palielinājums [soda punktu] ir balstīts uz pētījumiem, datiem, jo pēdējā laika jau daudz ir runāts, ka viens no pašiem bīstamākajiem manevriem ir apdzīšana, riskanta apdzīšana, milzīgs negadījumu skaits un piedevām ar ļoti traģiskām sekām. Ja iepriekš nebija izteiktas diferences attiecībā uz pārsniegtu ātrumu, tad šobrīd skaidri - cik desmitus nāk klāt, arī punkti no tā būs atkarīgi. Par ātruma pārsniegšanu tiks būtiski diferencēti pārkāpumu uzskaites punkti, un līdz ar to sistēma būs daudz labāk sakārtota, daudz labāk saprotama un nebūs tik represīva."
1 My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger, 2 you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth. 3 Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor. 4 Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids. 5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise; 7 which having no chief, overseer, or ruler, 8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. 9 How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep— 11 so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man. 12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth, 13 who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers, 14 in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy. 16 There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: 17 arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, 19 a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers. 20 My son, keep your father's commandment, and don't forsake your mother's teaching. 21 Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you. 23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life, 24 to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife's tongue. 25 Don't lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids. 26 For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life. 27 Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned? 28 Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched? 29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished. 30 Men don't despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry, 31 but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house. 32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul. 33 He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away. 34 For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won't spare in the day of vengeance. 35 He won't regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

Home staging je zložený z 5 fáz prípravy nehnuteľnosti na predaj„Home staging je súbor činností, ktorých cieľom je spraviť z nehnuteľností útulný a príjemný a lákavý domov. Čo ale najdôležitejšie je, že výsledkom tejto aktivity je hodnota ako pre kupujúceho, tak aj pre predávajúceho," vysvetľuje Simona Morávková z Moowin Reality vo videopodcaste Nehnuteľnosti.skPrvou fázou home stagingu je prvotné upratovanie nehnuteľnosti na predaj. „My ju voláme čistiaca fáza. Danú nehnuteľnosť – či už ide o byt alebo dom – necháme veľmi kvalitne až do sterilna a do voňava upratať. Druhou fázou je tzv. odosobnenie. To znamená, že všetky osobné predmety, ktoré daná rodina, ktorá tam v danom čase žije, za tie roky nazbierala, niektoré možno už ani nepoužíva, tak ju požiadame, aby ich zozbierali a uložili niekde do krabice.Tie, čo nepoužívajú, aby odniesli trebárs do pivnice a pripravili na sťahovanie. Ak veci používajú, tak ich treba dať napríklad do zásuviek. Ide konkrétne o všetky veci osobnej potreby či už sú to šampóny, hrebene, zubné kefky, kozmetika, uteráky, župany či periny." Prečo je to dôležité prezradila Morávková v samotnom videopodcaste portálu Nehnuteľnosti.sk.Treťou fázou home stagingu je samotné dekorovanie nehnuteľnosti. „My donesieme vankúše, ale aj vázy, kvety, závesy, záclony, koberce. V niektorých nehnuteľnostiach konferenčné stolíky a možno aj väčšie kusy nábytku. No a tu už nepracujeme sami. Na toto už využívame aj profesionálneho interiérového dizajnéra," opisuje postup Morávková s tým, že práve táto časť home stagingu má obrovský efekt, ktorý sa ukáže nielen na fotografiách, ale celkovo pri predaji samotného bytu či domu.Pri štvrtej fáze home stagingu sa zapájajú už takmer všetky zmysly. Nielen zrak, ale aj čuch, sluch, ale aj chuť. „My pracujeme s aroma marketingom, donesieme nejaké interiérové vône, v niektorých prípadoch difúzery s vonnými olejmi. Veľmi dobre vonia káva, čiže ponúkneme kávu, prípadne nejaký malý snack a dáme možnosť potenciálnomu kupujúcemu, aby si sadol a vlastne vedel sa vcítiť do tohto priestoru. A tu už keď vidíme, že áno, tento by mohol byť ten správny, tak mu dáme priestor prejsť do tej poslednej fázy a to je nacítiť tú situáciu, aj ochytať tú sedačku, pohovku, deku, vankúš a dať mu chvíľku ticha, aby tam prežil možno nejakú svoju predstavu, či by tam v tom byte či dome dokázal fungovať," hovorí Morávková. V podcaste sa dozviete aj:• ako sa zrýchli čas predaja nehnuteľnosti s home stagingom,• o koľko percent môžeme zvýšiť cenu nehnuteľnosti vďaka home stagingu,• ako sa robí home staging pre novostavby a staršie nehnuteľnosti,• či je vhodný home staging aj pri prenajímaní nehnuteľnosti,• čo všetko by mala realitná kancelária zabezpečiť pre klienta,• či je exkluzívna zmluva s realitkou výhodná pre predávajúceho a kupujúceho,• prečo je vhodné uzavrieť rezervačnú zmluvu k nehnuteľnosti.

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!In this episode, we welcome Brett McKay, the founder of the immensely popular website/newsletter/podcast, The Art of Manliness. For the past fifteen+ years Brett, along with his wife Kate, have been on their own quest to explore every aspect of what it means to be a man -- really, a human -- at this particular time in history. Their site has clearly struck a chord, as they have over a million followers (including listeners to their Art of Manliness (AOM) Podcast),where they cover everything from the practical (like "How to Shave Like Your Dad" and "How to Properly Tie your Tie"), to the metaphysical and philosophical (Aristotle is a huge influence on their work and journey, as are many other well-known historical thought leaders), and they have posted over 1,000 episodes (1059 as of this week's show on "The Science of Slowing Down Time"). Brett was kind enough to invite me onto his podcast and even kinder to reciprocate by coming onto Pizza Quest. There is a lot of kindred spiritedness here, as I think you will see and enjoy during this thoughtful conversation.Note: Brett also shares some tips on how he and Kate grew their following into a full-time livelihood; tips that will prove useful to any of you who are trying to grow your own media platforms and brands -- this is priceless advice!
March presents a powerful period of eclipses, demanding both surrender and decisive action. To navigate this transformative energy, embrace the mystery of the universe and allow yourself to "go with the flow." This month calls for deep introspection and spiritual growth, where daily practice will yield significant rewards in the months ahead. The Virgo Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on March 14th at 2:54 am ET, occurring at 23 degrees Virgo with the Sun at 23 degrees Pisces, initiates a six-month cycle of closure and practical action. This eclipse highlights areas of health, wellness, and wellbeing, challenging us to confront our shadows and move towards a higher octave. It's a time to address addictive behaviors, clear clutter, and make decisive changes for optimal health. With Uranus active, expect sudden and radical shifts, a "lightning bolt" of change that may be both enlightening and challenging. Embrace change, clear physical and mental clutter, and plant seeds for positive transformation. Tie up loose ends, finish projects that no longer serve you, and focus on "low-hanging fruit" – simple, practical steps that contribute to your higher vision. Remember, obstacles are opportunities to fine-tune your point of attraction, guiding you towards your true aim. Following the Virgo Eclipse, the Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 29th at 6:58 am ET at 9 degrees Aries brings a "spicy, salty, kick" of initiator energy. However, with Mercury retrograde and Uranus's active half square, expect heightened anxiety and potential breakdowns or breakthroughs. Neptune's transit through the final degree of Pisces adds to the intensity, blurring lines between transcendence and delusion. This eclipse is about bold action, individuality, and taking responsibility. Set intentions for the next six months, focusing on practical steps and asking for help. Break free from limiting beliefs, embrace your boldness, and take action in areas like career, health, and relationships. Revise your resume, prioritize wellness, and redefine your relationships with clear boundaries. Address financial deservability and trust in your worthiness. Throughout this period, practice self-compassion, be true to yourself, and trust the universe. Surrender to the mystery while taking decisive action. Embrace the quantum leap, knowing that "the cream will rise to the top." Remember Neville Goddard's teachings: obstacles are challenges designed to refine your point of attraction. Use this time to ask, "How am I useful?" and take practical steps, one day at a time, to fulfill that purpose.
