​No 15. līdz 20. jūlijam Dzintaru koncertzālē norisināsies ikgadējais Jūrmalas festivāls, vērienīgā programmā piedāvājot jauno talantu parādi ciklā "Dzimuši Latvijā", simfoniskos koncertus, operbalsis, flamenko dejas un saullēkta koncertu pludmalē. Festivālu otrdienas vakarā atklās Liepājas Simfoniskais orķestris un tā galvenais diriģents Guntis Kuzma, sadarbojoties ar pianistiem Sergeju Osokinu, Andreju Osokinu un Georgiju Osokinu. Koncertā skanēs daļas no Roberta Šūmaņa un Edvarda Grīga  klavierkoncertiem, Morisa Ravela "Bolero" versijā trim klavierēm, Volfganga Amadeja Mocarta Koncerts trim klavierēm un orķestrim,un Johana Sebastiāna Baha Koncerts četrām klavierēm reminorā, kas ir Antonio Vivaldi koncerta četrām vijolēm pārlikums – šajā reizē tas izskanēs Georgija Osokina versijā trim klavierēm un orķestrim. Plašāk par gaidāmo koncertu stāsta Sergejs un Andrejs Osokini. Andrejs Osokins: Pirms desmit gadiem ideja nospēlēt lielu koncertu ar orķestri Dzintaru koncertzālē mums visiem trim likās mazdrusciņ traka un pārāk ambicioza, bet, kad bijām uz skatuves un ļoti labi mēģinājām, tad sapratām, ka varbūt tomēr mēs būsim ļoti laimīgi pēc šī koncerta. Tad, kad vairāk nekā 2000 cilvēku atnāca uz klasiskās mūzikas koncertu, man bija lepnuma un pagodinājuma sajūta. Tieši klausītāju dēļ, jo viņi bija ārkārtīgi ieinteresēti un viņiem ļoti patika ideja, ka trīs paaudžu pianisti, trīs tik dažādi pianisti, spēlē klaviermūziku, spēlē arī kopā. Klausītājiem šī ideja ļoti patika, un tieši viņu dēļ mēs šos desmit gadus turpinājām gatavot jaunas programmas, spēlēt, vingrināties, veidot jaunas aranžijas. Repertuārs trīs klavierēm nav tik plašs, un mēs to paplašinājām, tādējādi varējām desmit gadus spēlēt ļoti daudzveidīgu mūziku. Arī šoreiz mēs nospēlēsim ļoti jaudīgu programmu. Būs divi skaņdarbi, kas klausītājiem ārkārtīgi patika, var teikt, ka pēc klausītāju pieprasījuma tos atkārtosim, bet viss pārējais būs jauns, tāpēc būs ļoti spilgta programma. Es vēlētos uzdot jautājumu Sergejam Osokinam, kurš noteikti licis pamatakmeņus šo abu mūziķu dzīvēs - vai ir kādi komponisti, skaņdarbi, kas tika atskaņoti Georgija un Andreja bērnībā, kas joprojām ietekmē viņu muzikālās izvēles un gaumi? Kas ir būtiskākie komponisti, kas iet laikam līdzi un joprojām paliek aktuāli? Sergejs Osokins: Nav vienkāršs jautājums. No pedagoga puses, kad tu ar kādu talantīgu bērnu strādā ar kāda komponista skaņdarbu, tas ir mīļākais skaņdarbs, mīļākais komponists (smejas). Ir bijis dažādi. Man vienmēr patīk strādāt ar Bēthovena mūziku, gan ar Andreju, gan ar Georgiju, ar Šopēna mūziku un Lista mūziku. Trīs komponisti. Kā tika veidota šī programma, cik ilgs laiks tas ir bijis? Vai katram tiek dots vārds izvēlēties kādu skaņdarbu, tā ir kopīga ideja? Sergejs Osokins: Protams, idejas ir no katra, bet pēc tam seko nelielas diskusijas. 2015. gadā tā bija ideja par vienreizēju notikumu. Mums bija prieks, un tikai pēc tam, bet uzreiz pēc tam, mēs sapratām, ka publikai patīk ideja un ir jāturpina. Es domāju, ka tagad diskusiju laiks ir mazāks. Tagad mēs daudz ko starp mums saprotam bez vārdiem.

Kultūras rondo svētku studijā tiekamies ar trim koru virsdiriģentiem, kuri kopkora priekšā stāsies noslēguma koncertā „Te-aust” un jau strādājuši ar lielo kori mēģinājumos. Kādas ir emocijas, stājoties kopkora priekšā Mežaparkā? Stāsta Līga Celma-Kursiete, Jelgavas 4. vidusskolas meiteņu kora "Spīgo" diriģente, Rudīte Tālberga, Ventspils Mūzikas vidusskolas kora “Nošu planētas” diriģente, un Jurģis Cābulis, Rīgas Doma kora skolas jauktā kora un jauniešu kora “Kamēr…” diriģents. Rudīte Tālberga šogad virsdiriģenta godā šajos svētkos būs pirmo reizi. Viņas vadībā kori dziedās Rolanda Ūdra dziesmu „Pasaule plašā”. "Ļoti saviļņojoši stāvēt tur priekšā, ka esmu tik tālu tikusi," atzīst Rudīte Tālberga, kurai kopā ar kori šis gads nav bijis viegls pēc visa, ko nācās pārdzīvot un izsāpēt pēc traģiskās avārijas janvārī. Viņa neslēpj, ka gads nav bijis viegls, jo daudz zaudējuši, bet kori ne mirkli nav apstājušies dziedāt. Tas prasījis daudz spēka. " Baidījās, vai varēšu  savaldīt tūkstošgalvaino kori. Protams, ir daudz jāstrādā, jāreaģē uz kādām lietām, jāklausās, bet paspēju arī tās sekundes izbaudīt un sajust dziedātāju enerģiju, kas bija pretī, un sirsnību. Vēl vairāki no zēnu kora man skrēja pretī - es tik ļoti kliedzu, ka tā dziesma tūlīt skanēs," turpina Rudīte Tālberga. Līga Celma-Kursiete pirms 15 gadiem pirmo reizi stājās kopkora priekš X Skolu jaunatnes dziesmu svētkos. Šajos svētkos viņa diriģēs Raimonda Paula dziesmu „Veltījums dzejniekiem”. Toreiz tas bija mēnesi pēc pirmā bērniņa piedzimšanas.  "Toreiz viss bija pārāk sirreāls, man bija jādiriģē tautasdziesma un es īsi nemācēju kopkori savaldīt. Tad mani pamācīja - tu pagaidi katra pantā beigās, lai viņi sanāk kopā un tad sāc pantu vēlreiz, atminas Līga Celma-Kursiete. "Šī dziesma tik ļoti patīk jauniešiem, ir pietiekami lēnā tempa, lai nebūt jāuztraucas par kora savākšanu un tā enerģija, kas apmainās, tā jauneklīgā jūsma, kas nāk no bērniem, ir ārkārtīgi pacilājoši. Tieši tāpēc, ka ir bijis šis iztrūkums, ka nav bijuši jauniešiem svētki. Ir ļoti pacilājoši un skaisti," atzīst Līga Celma-Kursiete. Savukārt Jurģis Cābulis pirmo reizi bija virsdiriģents Vispārējos dziesmu svētkos 2023. gadā, tagad - Skolu jaunatnes svētkos. Viņš diriģēes Ulda Marhilēviča dziesmu „Seko saviem sapņiem”. "Atšķirības nav, jo tieši tāpat kā uz vispārējiem dziesmu svētkiem, arī uz jauniešu dziesmu svētkiem sistēma ir līdzīga, viņi gatavojas, ir kopmēģinājumi. Protams, atšķiras repertuārs un repertuāra politika," vērtē Jurģis Cābulis, vaicāts par atšķirībām svētku virsdiriģenta statusā. "Varu piekrist, ka enerģija ir savādāka, kas nāk no jauniešiem un lielajiem svētkiem, jo lielajos svētkos daudz nostrādā filozofiskā šķautne, ko stāsti dziedātājiem, ko gribi ar savu dziesmu pateikt. Tā ir lieta, ko dziedātājs vērtē. Šajos svētkos arī šis ir svarīgi, bet ir jāspēj dzīvot līdzi jauniešu enerģijai un tas nav viegls process. Jo tā enerģija, kas nāk pretī no estrādes, ir jācenšas iedot vismaz tas pats procents pretī. Ja izdodas abas enerģiskās puses salaist kopā, fantastiskas lietas notiek."

How to Tie a Knot in a Biothane Ball Tug Strap Step 1: Tie a knot in a fresh biothane strap. Step 2: Pull tight and leave some tail at the end. Step 3: Loop tail over knot. Step 4: Push tail under and through knot. Step 5: Pull knot tight and begin break-in process. Replacement BioThane Ball Strap Leerburg Foam Ball with BioThane Strap Please keep in mind that once the knot is broken-in and secured, it is not coming undone. The biothane will become more soft and pliable with use. Because of this, the biothane begins to grip itself which means untying the knot becomes almost impossible. If properly used and taken care of, biothane ball straps can last a really long time.

Vakar, 8. jūlijā, Dailes teātrī izskanēja kokļu mūzikas koncerts "Dzīslojums".  Dzīslojuma ceļi lasāmi gan plaukstā, gan koka mizā, lapas stiegrojumā un tautastērpa jostas rakstā. Tie ir neizdibināmi dzīves līkloči un likteņraksti, kas ļauj mums satikties – vienam ar otru, pašiem ar sevi, ar mūziku un ar tradīcijām. Kokļu mūzikas koncerta "Dzīslojums" daudzslāņainais repertuārs ar maigumu satver skatītāja roku, lai vestu līdzi pa krāsainajiem ceļiem un taciņām, kuras iedzīvina koklētāju rokas. Koncerta veidotājiem bija izdevies radīt koklētāju cilts svētkus, festivāla sajūtu. Un te nevar paļauties uz dziesmu svētku garu vien, bet svarīgs bija koncerta veidotāju veikums, izvēloties repertuāru, kur bija gan tēmas no kinofilmām, gan populārā mūzika, bet tajā pašā laikā tehniski ļoti sarežģīti skaņdarbi līdzās klasikai.  Savukārt aktrise Jana Ļisova ne tikai vienkārši pieteica skaņdarbus, bet noslēpēja dramatiskās pilnvērtīgu dramatiskās aktrises lomu, runājot dramaturģes Lindas Rudenes tekstus, kura bija uzrakstījusi prātojumu par rokām - par rokām, kas skar kokļu stīgas, gan par to, ko mūsu rokas var vai izvēlas nedarīt, par dzīslojumu mūsu rokās, kas sasaista ar visu pasauli. Sarunā ar dramaturģi atklājas, ka viņa "pazīst drēbi", jo viņa pati 13 gadus spēlējusi kokli.   Koncerta radošā grupa: mākslinieciskā vadītāja Ieva Šablovska, mākslinieciskās vadītājas asistente Dace Priedīte, režisore Diāna Kaijaka, režisores konsultants Juris Jonelis, dramaturģe Linda Rudene, scenogrāfe Ineta Sipunova, gaismu mākslinieks Ivars Vācers, skaņu režisors Gustavs Ērenpreiss, ansambļu koordinatore Elīna Agneta Lamberte. Koncertā piedalījās 370 dalībnieki no 56 koklētāju ansambļiem. Koncertu var noskatīties arī LSM.lv. -- Kokļu mūzika skanēs arī Rīgas Svētās Marijas Magdelēnas baznīcā 10. jūlijā pulksten 13 koncerta “Saules krustcelēs” un 11. jūlijā četros pēcpusdienā Kokļu mūzikas koncerts "Kokles Vērmanes dārzā".

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

"IS THE CIO DRAGGING DOWN THE FAMILY OFFICE'S PERFORMANCE? (And What Can You Do About It?)" with R. ADAM SMITH. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Cl26HkpjZBnovg3zumuBx?si=0c7e252e629d4603 https://youtu.be/p3VtFCVpp8o The Family Office CIO job involves a delicate high wire act. The position can be the fraught intersection of: Asset Allocation (& collision of "endowment" vs "family adjacent" strategy) Cash Management Deal Sourcer/Vetter Club Deal Gatekeeper Risk & FOMO mitigater Overall One-Man Band R. ADAM SMITH advises families around deal and investment structure via RAS CAPITAL PARTNERS. We discuss the evolving CIO in family offices, Our discussion addresses the importance of expectation-setting on both sides. We get into what the families can do to understand their own needs (and why they might be the problem!). The goal is to help both sides unlock potential and get out of the way of performance. Adam Smith's Background (2–3 min) Adam gives a brief personal background and current work with family offices Set up the problem: Many family offices operate with misaligned or underperforming CIO structures Mention growing tension between opportunistic deal flow vs. structured allocation frameworks CIO Dragging: Defining the“Non-Functioning CIO” (3–4 min) Describe what a non-functioning or misaligned CIO looks like in a family office Common traits: reactive, relationship-driven over process-driven, lacking risk discipline The consequences: inconsistent returns, governance confusion, lack of accountability Deal-Driven vs. Allocation-Based Models (4–5 min) Explain the difference between a deal-centric CIO vs. one focused on institutional-style allocation Why the dealmaker mindset often prevails in emerging family offices Tradeoffs: speed and access vs. diversification, scalability, and defensibility Challenges when there's no clear investment policy statement (IPS) Why Do Families Tolerate This? (2–3 min) Emotional and trust-based dynamics—families often default to familiarity over structure Over-indexing on "access" as value Underestimating the long-term risks of ad hoc strategies What CIO Institutionalization Looks Like (3–4 min) What a functional, institutional CIO framework looks like (clear mandate, reporting, delegation, rebalancing discipline) Role of governance in supporting this structure When and how to make the transition—triggers and best practices Cultural and Generational Resistance (2–3 min) Why some families resist institutionalization How generational shifts are challenging legacy CIO models Importance of aligning values and objectives—not just tactics Closing Thoughts THE CIO DRAGGING ON THE FAMILY OFFICE PERFORMANCE (2 min) Tie back to broader themes of sustainability, legacy, and governance in family offices Call to action: revisit your CIO model—does it reflect your goals or just your past? Emphasize the importance of aligning investment leadership with broader family vision Other CIO Dragging Considerations- Do the staffing and comp models adequately align the employer and employee?   What does a successful structure look like and how much does it cost?   What dos a minimum structure look like and how much does it cost?   Are CIO's under resourced and put in a failing position?   How does career risk factor into CIO decision-making?   Does the threat to the family's relevance in decision-making risk factor into this?   How much time is wasted doing “pretend” work to maintain access to other family offices deals?   Do you measure investment adjacency to the family specialty and how should that affect the evaluation of the CIO's performance?   What happens when a deal-centric CIO is thrust into an asset class that is out of their expertise?   What is the benchmark performance for a FO CIO these days?   On the ESG, DEI,

„Mācītāji, rakstīdami latviski, ir sacerējuši „kurlam ēzelim stāstītas pasaciņas”,” pirms 200 gadiem pukojās viens no spilgtākajiem apgaismības ideju pārstāvjiem Baltijā Garlībs Merķelis. Tas notiek laikā, kuru šodien apjaušam kā vienu no visretāk pētītajiem un noslēpumainākajiem laikmetiem latviešu literārajā kultūrā – 19. gadsimta pirmajā pusē. Par kultūras paradoksiem laikmetu lūzumos Kultūras rondo izvaicājam monogrāfijas „Apgaismības starpnieki. Vācbaltiešu mācītāji latviešu rakstniecībā 1815 – 1848.” autoru, Latvijas Nacionālas bibliotēkas (LNB) vadošo pētnieku Paulu Daiju. LNB pētniecības vadītāja un vadošā pētnieka Paula Daijas monogrāfija ir veltīta grāmatniecības vēsturei un paver ieskatu vienā no visretāk pētītajiem un noslēpumainākajiem laikmetiem latviešu literārajā kultūrā – 19. gadsimta pirmajā pusē. Eiropā šis ir revolūciju laiks, bet pie mums to sauc par kluso laiku. "To sauc par tukšo un kluso laiku. Man ļoti patika, kā Māris Zanders vienā sarunā jautāja: kāpēc ir tā, ka mēs labi zinām veco Stenderu, Garlību, Merķeli un Krišjāni Valdemāru, un pa vidu it kā nekas nenotiek? Mani ļoti ieinteresēja, kas notiek pa vidu," bilst Pauls Daija. "Ir ļoti daudz labu pētījumu par šo tēmu, bet man liekas, ka mēs kopumā joprojām pārāk maz zinām, kas notika apgaismības laikmetā un kāpēc tas ir svarīgi. Bija ļoti interesanti strādāt pie šīs grāmatas, bet man visu laiku bija sajūta, ka man ļoti gribētos, lai arī citi par to uzzina, jo man liekas, ka mūsdienu latviešu sabiedrībā šī ir svarīga tēma, lai gan sena un pirmajā brīdī šķietami varbūt pat neaktuāla."  "Es sāku šo tēmu pētīt pirms gadiem 20, un, ja es nodarbojos ar to vēl joprojām, tas ir tāpēc, ka šajā tēmā ir tāda spriedze. Īstenībā viens grāmatas nosaukuma variants bija "Plāns ledus", jo pētīt vācbaltiešu ieguldījumu latviešu kultūrā ir drusku staigāt pa plānu ledu, jo ļoti viegli iekrist galējībās - vai nu nosodīt vācbaltiešu kopienu, vai arī teikt, ka viņi ir tie, kas ienesa mums, latviešiem, kultūru," atklāj Pauls Daija. "Neokultūrtrēģerisms  ir vēsturnieka Kaspara Zeļļa ieteikts termins, kas man liekas ļoti labs. Es domāju, ka mums ir attiecībā uz ļoti daudzām tēmām Latvijas vēsturē melnbalts skatījums, ir lietas, kas ir ļoti labas, un ir lietas, kas ir sliktas. Latvijas vēsture ir pilna ar šīm galējībām, un tas ir normāli, ka mums ir šāds skatījums. Tiešām dramatiskas pieredzes mums, iespējams, ir daudz vairāk nekā citiem. Tajā pašā laikā drusku biju noguris no tā melnbaltā skatījuma, man gribējās iedot citas krāsas. Man liekas, ka vācbaltiešu un latviešu attiecības ir ļoti pretrunīgas. Domāju, ka taisnība savā ziņā ir gan vieniem, gan otriem. Un viens veids, kā varbūt pārvarēt šo pretrunīgumu vai pietuvoties tam no tādas produktīvas puses, ir no jauna lasīt pirmavotus un vairāk runāt nevis par abstraktām idejām, bet par konkrētiem cilvēkiem. Un tas ir tas, ko es darīju savā pētījumā, kas ir 10 biogrāfiskas esejas par savulaik ļoti interesantiem cilvēkiem."  

Get ready for a "heavy" and anxiety-inducing ride on the Purrgil Pod as Hunter and Jessica dive into an episode where everyone is "running out of time".•First up, Cassian's bizarrely hotwiring a TIE fighter on the "Farm Planet" (Mina Rau)—not to fly, but for communications. Predictably, things go sideways fast with an Imperial crackdown and tragic ends.•Meanwhile, on Chandrila, Mon Mothma's daughter Leida's wedding is a masterclass in "bizarre traditions", complete with braid-cutting. But the real drama is the "money laundering and betrayal" crescendo orchestrated by Luthen, leaving Mon Mothma to visibly "unravel" at her own reception.•Finally, Coruscant brings the "tense and awkward dinner" from hell, as Dedra and Syril host the "world's best mother-in-law," Eedy, who is outrageously judgmental. Dedra, in an "Oh. Oh, mic drop" moment, boldly puts Eedy in her place.All this and more in this episode of the Purrgil Pod.Find us on Facebook, Mastodon, and the web at www.purrgilpod.com

Bold prints, bright colors and character-covered tees once dominated the Disney Parks style scene. But a new wave of fashion-forward Disney fans is shifting the narrative — and it's all about minimalism. The Art of Subtle Disney Shirts and StyleIn the world of Disney fashion, louder used to mean better. This is the era of subtle Disney style, where quiet nods to beloved characters and stories speak louder than the loudest graphic tee. At the forefront of this movement is 1923 Main Street®, the original travel style brand redefining what it means to dress for Disney travel and beyond.Why Subtlety is StylishThere's a reason minimalist fashion has remained timeless: it's sophisticated, versatile and allows personal expression without overwhelming the senses. Subtle Disney fashion borrows this same elegance — offering a way to wear your fandom with class and creativity. Instead of flashy prints, think sleek typography, clean lines and abstract references that spark conversation, not cartoons. The minimalist approach resonates especially with adult Disney travelers who want to celebrate their passion for Disney in a way that's elevated, travel-ready and style-conscious.The Rise of Minimalist Disney FashionAs fashion evolves and the Disney audience grows, so do the ways fans express their style. The rise of minimalist Disney fashion reflects a cultural shift toward meaningful, design-led clothing. People want wearable reminders of the magic that fit seamlessly into their everyday wardrobes — not just their park days. This is subtle Disney style at its finest1923 Main Street was an innovator of subtle Disney style and one of the first brands to champion this approach. Designing understated Disney shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies with original, clever references that only true fans recognize was an early hallmark of the 1923 Main Street brand. These aren't just clothes — they're conversation starters and memory-keepers, crafted with intention.Styling Low-Key Disney Looks at the ParksCreating a travel-ready look with subtle Disney pieces is easier than ever, especially when starting with the right foundation. A text-based or abstract reference tee from 1923 Main Street can be the perfect starting point. Whether it's a nod to a favorite princess, Disney travel tip or hidden detail only Disney regulars would catch, these designs pair beautifully with smart travel staples:Layer a minimalist sweatshirt over a neutral midi dress for a chic, effortless park-to-dinner look.Pair an abstract subtle Disney tee with high-rise shorts or linen pants and add a lightweight denim jacket for cooler evenings.Tie a 1923 Main Street hoodie around your waist during warm days — it's practical, comfortable, and keeps your subtle Disney look consistent. Plus, it's ready to go when the sun goes down.Accessories Make the MagicMinimalist Disney style doesn't mean skipping the fun — it just means choosing pieces with intention. A pair of mouse-inspired stud earrings, a tone-on-tone Disney backpack, or a hat with a discreet reference adds character without clutter. Scarves, neutral sunglasses and sleek sneakers (subtle Disney or not) round out the look while keeping it versatile for long park days.Layering is key here. Mix textures — soft cotton, woven straw, lightweight knits — and let your subtle Disney top take the spotlight. Whether you're park-hopping, rope dropping or enjoying a Disney resort brunch, you'll feel stylish without screaming Disney “tourist.”1923 Main Street®: The Original Brand in Subtle Disney Style1923 Main Street isn't following a trend — it's leading a movement. Each 1923 Main Street design is an original creation, born from deep Disney knowledge and a passion for thoughtful fashion. The brand's mission is simple: to make Disney style more sophisticated, more wearable and more personal.By blending storytelling with clean design, 1923 Main Street proves that Disney inspired fashion doesn't need to shout to be seen. Whether you're a seasoned park-goer or a traveler bringing a little magic into the everyday, there's power in keeping it subtle.Minimalist Disney fashion is more than a look — it's a mindset. It's for those who carry the magic quietly, proudly and stylishly wherever they go.Shop at 1923 Main StreetThank you for listening to the Travel Style Podcast at 1923MainStreet.com.Shop unique and original travel inspired and subtle Disney travel clothing, including t-shirts, sweatshirt, hoodies and more at 1923 Main Street.Follow along on X, Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook.Thank you for listening and always remember to roam freely and wear boldly.Mike Belobradic and Amelia Belobradic--Media provided by Jamendo

Why Beating Yourself Up Isn't Making You Better Rewiring the Inner Critic For most of us men, we were raised on self-esteem, (either resourceful input, or non-resourceful input) Be confident. Stand tall. Don't screw up. Win at all costs. That's self-esteem culture. It's about feeling good about yourself when you're doing well — when you're successful, strong, admired, competent, and on your game.  But the second you fall short? That's when self-esteem gets shaky. You feel like less of a man. This is where self-compassion comes in — and most of us weren't taught this growing up. What's the Difference? Self-Esteem Self-esteem says: “I'm valuable because I'm good at something.” But what happens when you're not good? When you fail? When you screw up as a dad, partner, or professional? You beat yourself up. You think you're weak. You try harder, you push down or numb feelings, you obsess, or you isolate. Self-Compassion Self-compassion says: “Even when I mess up, I still matter.” It's not about lowering your standards or letting yourself off the hook. It's about treating yourself like you would treat a friend. You don't rip him to shreds when he's struggling — you encourage him. You support him. You give him a chance to recover and rise. Why This Matters for Men A lot of men stay stuck in silence because they think they have to “man up” through every failure. We're told emotions make us soft. That kindness toward ourselves is weakness. But the truth? Beating ourselves into the ground never made us better — it just made us more disconnected, more numb, and more alone. Self-compassion isn't soft. It's strength with grace. It's resilience over shame. It's authenticity without self-hate. We often refuse to use self-compassion because we think it's lazy or we will lose motivation if we let ourselves off the hook.  So Which One Should You Build? Both. But start with self-compassion. Because when your confidence fails, your self-worth shouldn't. Confidence is built on success. Compassion is built for failing. And you're going to need both.

Tuksneša saule, "viss iekļauts" - šīs ir pirmās asociācijas, kas ienāk prātā, izdzirdot vārdu Ēģipte. Tiešām eksotisks galamērķis, iecienīts ceļotāju vidū, bet ir iedzīvotāji, kuri sevi sauc par latviešiem. Un Ēģipte nav tikai brīvdienu pieturvieta, bet vieta, kas viņiem kļuvusi par mājām. Izrādās, ka Ēģiptē dzīvo ap 50 Latvijas valsts piederīgo. Lai arī varam teikt, ka tā ir samērā neliela diaspora, viss liecina, ka tā ir patiesi aktīva, rīko gan kinovakarus, gan atzīmē Baltijas ceļu, 18. novembri, un latviešu kopienai Hurgadā ir pat sava bibliotēka. Cik stipra ir latviešu kopiena un kā rit dzīve šai eksotiskajā valstī, tostarp šajos nestabilajos ģeopolitiskajos apstākļos, un vai tiešām tur uz ielas var sastapt kamieli, par to runājam ar Dignu Abuzeidu, Lindu Leimanti, Baibu Lību un Oskaru Kuršu.

V najnovšej epizóde podcastu Striedame! na ŠPORT.sk sme privítali hlavného trénera slovenskej futbalovej reprezentácie do 21 rokov Jaroslava Kentoša, ktorý sa s nami podelil o svoje dojmy zo stále prebiehajúceho európskeho šampionátu na domácej pôde.Tréner slovenskej „dvadsaťjednotky” otvorene prehovoril o tom, ako prebiehala voľba kapitána pred turnajom, keď dal možnosť samotným hráčom, aby si zvolili svojho lídra. V rozhovore sa dozviete aj o komplikáciách pri skladaní tímu pred šampionátom, keď potreboval získať povolenie od Francesca Calzonu na uvoľnenie hráčov z reprezentačného A-tímu. Najväčším problémom bolo podľa trénera presvedčiť klub Hellas Verona na uvoľnenie Tomáša Suslova.Jaroslav Kentoš zhodnotil aj atmosféru v tíme a vyzdvihol profesionálny prístup hráčov. V emotívnej časti rozhovoru tréner vysvetlil príčiny prehier so Španielskom a s Talianskom, ktoré rozhodli o našom nepostupe zo skupiny. Špeciálne vyzdvihol reakciu Tomáša Suslova po vypadnutí: „Pre mňa bol už prvý dobrý signál, že ihneď po zápase prišiel Tomáš Suslov za mnou a povedal mi, že chce hrať aj posledný zápas. Vau. A to je silné.”Nenechajte si ujsť najnovšiu epizódu podcastu Striedame! na ŠPORT.sk, v ktorej tréner Jaroslav Kentoš hovorí aj o svojej budúcnosti na poste trénera U21 a klubových ponukách, ktoré možno zvažuje. Tiež naznačil, ako vyzerala komunikácia s hráčmi počas celej prípravy, ktorí futbalisti môžu v budúcnosti nakuknúť do A-tímu a odhalil aj zákulisie slovenského mládežníckeho futbalu.

Pirms pāris dienām ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu. Savukārt Baltkrievijā no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Ārvalstu aktualitātes apspriežam kopā ar ārpolitikas ekspertu Andi Kudoru un Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta ārzemju ziņu korespondentu Rihardu Plūmi. * Divpadsmitdienu karš? 23. jūnija pievakarē pēc Savienoto Valstu Austrumkrasta laika prezidents Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu ar 25. jūniju. Līdz ar to „Divpadsmitdienu karš”, kā to nodēvēja prezidents, esot noslēdzies. Vai šis apzīmējums patiešām ieiesies, respektīvi, vai uguns pārtraukšana, kura vakar sāka izskatīties diezgan cerīgi, paliks spēkā un pāraugs zināmā noregulējumā – par to pagaidām drošas pārliecības, protams, nav. Kā zināms, 22. jūnijs nesa jaunu pavērsienu militārajā sadursmē, kad amerikāņu gaisa spēku bumbvedēji B-2 raidīja vairākas lieljaudas vadāmās aviobumbas, savukārt jūras spēki – spārnotās raķetes „Tomahawk” pa trim Irānas kodolobjektiem: urāna bagātināšanas rūpnīcām Fordo un Natanzā, kā arī Isfahānas kodoltehnoloģiju centru. Tika laisti darbā jaudīgākie konvencionālie ieroči, kādu Izraēlas rīcībā nav, un kuri, kā tika lēsts, varētu nodarīt Irānas kodolprogrammai izšķirošu postu. Drīz pēc tam Vašingtona sāka bombardēt abas konfliktējošās puses ar uguns pārtraukšanas prasījumiem. Irānas ārlietu ministrs Abass Aragči reaģēja uz prezidenta Trampa paziņojumu par uguns pārtraukšanu, sakot, ka vienošanās gan vēl neesot panākta, bet Irāna ir gatava pārtraukt triecienus otrdienas agrā rītā, ja Izraēla rīkosies tāpat. Dažas stundas vēlāk arī Izraēlas puse paziņoja, ka esot gatava uguns pārtraukšanai, jo karadarbības mērķi sasniegti. Otrdienas rītā gan no Irānas puses pret Izraēlu esot raidītas divas raķetes, un par atbildi Izraēlas gaisa spēki uzbrukuši kādam radaram Teherānas pievārtē, taču pēc tam patiešām iestājies klusums. Cik var spriest, izšķirošais bijis Donalda Trampa telefona zvans premjeram Netanjahu. Vakarā Irāna atvērusi savu gaisa telpu civilās aviācijas lidojumiem, savukārt Izraēla atcēlusi iedzīvotājiem noteiktos ierobežojumus un ziņojusi par lidostu darbības atsākšanu. Zīmīgi, ka abas puses dēvē sevi par uzvarētājām. Premjers Netanjahu paudis, ka viņa valsts vēsturiskās uzvaras nozīme nezudīšot paaudzēm ilgi. Viņa Irānas kolēģis Masuds Pezeškiāns, savukārt, izteicies, ka Izraēla esot saņēmusi „smagu un vēsturisku” pārmācīšanu. Irānas kodolprogramma, kā apgalvo tās valdība, nepavisam neesot sagrauta. Ko līdzīgu pauž arī Savienoto Valstu izlūkdienestu primārais ziņojums, kura saturs tapis zināms presei. Ziņojumā pausts, ka izraēliešu un amerikāņu uzlidojumi varētu būt nobremzējuši Irānas kodolprogrammas gaitu vien uz dažiem mēnešiem. Attiecīgās mediju ziņas likušas pukoties prezidentam Trampam, kurš amerikāņu uzlidojumus Irānai dēvē par vienu no sekmīgākajiem militārajiem triecieniem pasaules vēsturē. Daži brīvībā, tūkstotis paliek aiz restēm Sestdien Savienoto Valstu prezidenta īpašais sūtnis Kīts Kellogs apmeklēja Minsku, kur tikās ar Baltkrievijas autoritāro vadoni Aļaksandru Lukašenku. Nākamajā dienā mediji izplatīja ziņu, ka no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Daļa no atbrīvotajiem ir ārvalstu pilsoņi vai personas ar dubultu pilsonību – Zviedrijas, Polijas, Japānas un arī divi Latvijas valstspiederīgie. Bet īpaši nozīmīgu šo Minskas autokrāta žestu padara baltkrievu opozīcijas līdera Sjarheja Cihanouska izlaišana no cietuma. Cihanouskis, blogeris un uzņēmējs, atļāvās mest izaicinājumu diktatoram 2020. gada vēlēšanās. Tieši viņš priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā asociēja ūsaino vadoni ar tarakānu, kurš būtu nospiežams ar čību. Baltkrievijas Centrālā vēlēšanu komisija lēma nepielaist blogeri vēlēšanām, un drīz pēc tam viņš tika aizturēts. Stafeti no vīra pārņēmusī Svetlana Cihanouska, startējot kā apvienotās opozīcijas kandidāte, vēlēšanās, domājams, saņēma daudz vairāk nekā varas oficiāli atzītos 10 % balsu. Svetlanai Cihanouskai nācās bēgt no Baltkrievijas, savukārt Sjarhejam tika piespriesti astoņpadsmit gadi cietumā, apsūdzot viņu masu nekārtību organizēšanā un naida kurināšanā. Tagad, sabijis aiz restēm piecus gadus, viņš ir brīvībā un atkal kopā ar ģimeni, kaut pārvērties līdz nepazīšanai. Visus šos gadus viņam bija liegta saziņa ar tuviniekiem, un 2023. gadā Svetlana Cihanouska pat esot saņēmusi ziņas par vīra nāvi, kas gan, kā redzams, izrādījušās nepatiesas. Preses konferencē atbrīvotais stāstīja, ka viņam bijusi liegta ne vien sarakste un pieeja medijiem, bet arī elementāri higiēnas līdzekļi kā ziepes un zobu birste. Prezidentam Trampam, pauda Cihanouskis, esot vara un iespējas ar vienu vārdu panākt visu baltkrievu politieslodzīto atbrīvošanu, un viņš lūdzot Trampu teikt šo vārdu. Pēc Baltkrievijas opozīcijas ziņām režīma cietumos atrodas vēl apmēram 1150 politieslodzīto. Par šo četrpadsmit atbrīvošanu diktators Lukašenka neesot saņēmis pretī neko vairāk kā pašu sūtņa Kelloga vizītes faktu diplomātiski no Rietumiem praktiski izolētajā Minskā. Kā spriež BBC Austrumeiropas un Dienvideiropas korespondente Sarā Reinsforde, diktators esot izsvēris, ka iespējamie ieguvumi no prominentā politieslodzītā atbrīvošanas esot nozīmīgāki par iespējamajiem riskiem.

Are you losing money before the job even hits the floor? If your quotes are based on outdated spreadsheets, rough guesses, or a “that's what we've always charged” mindset, you might be setting your shop up to fail—before the first chip falls. In this episode of the Machine Shop MBA series, we tackle one of the most common (and costly) problems in manufacturing: bad quoting. Mike shares lessons from five shop acquisitions—each one quoting the wrong way. Paul lays out a clear framework for cost modeling, from flat-rate estimating to activity-based precision. And Nick brings it all home with real-world strategies for walking away from unprofitable jobs and quoting with confidence. You'll learn how to: Break down your true cost per hour (and why most shops get it wrong) Quote faster and win better work Tie quoting to sales strategy and customer fit Eliminate jobs that quietly kill your margin Because quoting isn't just a math problem.

Z hľadiska národnoštátnych či bezpečnostných záujmov Slovenska nemá zahraničná politika Ficovej vlády žiadnu logiku. Vysvetlením môžu byť len osobné záujmy premiéra, tvrdí exminister zahraničných vecí Miroslav Wlachovský. Podľa neho zlom nastal po premiérovej návšteve Kremľa. Ešte stále máme šancu, čas sa nám ale zásadne kráti, varuje Wlachovský. Ani druhé kolo Rusko Ukrajinských rokovaní neprinieslo žiadny posun k mierovému ukončeniu ruskej agresie na Ukrajine. Koniec vojny je v nedohľadne, konflikt sa premenil na opotrebovávaciu vojnu a v nej sa hrá o to, kto vydrží dlhšie. Rozhodujúci faktor však nie je iba sila nasadzovaných vojakov či počet vystrelených granátov, ale najmä vôľa, rozhodnosť a ochota k obetiam - a to aj tým najvyšším.Konflikt pritom už dávno nabral zásadnú geopolitickú váhu, v ktorej sa Rusko cíti byť vyzývateľom celého Západu pričom cieli aj na rozpad euroatlantických štruktúr. Tie ale silne nahlodáva aj nová americká administratíva. V Európe preto masívne rastie tlak na čo najrýchlejšiu bezpečnostnú sebestačnosť. Slovensko sa však pod vedením ficovej vlády čoraz viac ocitá v bezpečnostnom vzduchoprázdne - na západných spojencov vláda nadáva, Kremľu sa líška a okrem Orbána sa veľmi nebaví ani so susedmi. Slovensku sa čas radikálne kráti, Ficova pllitika ho ženie do bezpečnostného vzduchoprázdna, tvrdí exminister Wlachovský.Kam nás teda vedie takáto zahraničná politika, má slovenský premiér vôbec nejakú strategickú víziu alebo už hrá iba o vlastnú budúcnosť? Bude pre Slovensko ešte miesto v novoformujúcej sa koalícií ochotných a aké následky môže mať spor s Nemeckom? No a napokon, aký bude ďalší vývoj vojny na Ukrajine, čo to bude znamenať pre našu vlastnú bezpečnosť a o čo o stave sveta hovorí až negustiózny spor Elona Muska s Donaldom Trumpom?Ráno Nahlas s exministrom zahraničných vecí, bývalým diplomatom a dnes analytikom Globsecu Miroslavom Wlachovským. Pekný deň a pokoj v duši praje Braňo Dobšinský.

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

Are Second Chances for Everyone? How do you know when you're ready for a second chance? Tina Yeager is joined by bestselling author of over 40 books, Kimberly Woodhouse, for a heartfelt conversation about “Second Chances.” Together, they explore how grace, forgiveness, and God's unwavering love make second (and twentieth!) chances possible—whether in our careers, relationships, or faith journeys. Kimberly shares insights from her latest novel, An Unexpected Grace, reflecting on characters who need renewal and the real-life experiences that shaped her storytelling. Hear stories of perseverance through crisis, the importance of supportive relationships, and honest struggles with grief and wounded hearts. If you've ever wondered whether you're truly eligible for a new beginning or how to hold on when life gets tough, this episode will encourage you to embrace hope, healing, and the abundance of grace waiting for you. Tune in for wisdom, practical encouragement, and stories that prove it's never too late for a second chance—with God, with yourself, and with others. Are second chances available to us all, even if we feel like we've run out of “do-overs”? Kim's response was powerful—she believes there is NO limit on second chances. God's grace is infinite, no matter how many times we fall or feel unworthy. In her words, “He's still there to pick me up out of the mud puddle and say, I love you, my daughter.” Hanging On When Life Gets Tough Kimberley shared heartfelt stories from her own life, including her family's struggles and how thousands have reached out to ask, “How did you get through it?” Her advice? “Tie a knot in the bottom of that rope and just hang on.” Whether it's singing, worshiping, or relying on supportive friends, Kimberley reminds us that clinging to hope and faith—especially in our lowest moments—is essential. Practical Ways to Persevere When navigating trials, Kimberley emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with prayerful friends, spending extra time in God's word, and holding yourself accountable with a supportive faith community. Even when we're trying our best, we may still fail—but God's forgiveness stretches further than we can imagine. Stories that Heal Kimberley's recent novel, An Unexpected Grace, explores the complexities of second chances in relationships. Through characters who face grief, shattered dreams, and wounded hearts, she demonstrates that healing and reconciliation are possible, even after years of pain. Through fiction, Kimberley believes we're able to experience truth and healing in fresh, relatable ways. Encouragement for the Wounded Whether you're grieving, struggling with broken relationships, or feeling distant from your God-given purpose, Kimberley urges us to remember: “God is not going to fail us the same way other people have.” Taking that step of faith, even when trust feels impossible, can lead to unexpected wholeness. Kimberley's Word of Hope Kimberley closed with her life verse: James 1:2-4—“Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.” She reminds us to look for joy even in tough seasons, trusting that God is shaping us along the way.
