Was bleibt von 50 Clips in 20 Minuten eigentlich hängen? Plattformen wie TikTok, Instagram oder YouTube maximieren mit Autoplay und Endlos-Scrollen die Verweildauer. Social Media wird zur Binge-Maschine, sagt die Beraterin, Autorin und Medienwissenschaftlerin Prof. Dr. Alexandra Borchardt, die an TUM School of Management der TU München als Honorarprofessorin Leadership und Digitalisierung lehrt. Aber wie nachhaltig wirkt das Binge Watching dieser kurzen Videos und Reels? Im Gespräch mit Christian Jakubetz geht es aber nicht nur um diese Frage, sondern darum, ob Social Media womöglich schon seinen Höhepunkt überschritten hat. Es geht um algorithmische Logiken, Personal Branding, um die Zukunft linearen Fernsehens und welche Rolle Events heute spielen können. Zentral ist dabei die Rolle von KI und ob sogar ein Backlash im Raum steht: Überdruss durch KI-generierte Inhalte, Zweifel an der Echtheit und eine wachsende Sehnsucht nach Authentizität.

Stress gehört zum Führungsalltag. Angesichts sich schnell wandelnder Gegebenheiten ist es heute wichtiger denn je, zu wissen, wie sich mit Stress umgehen lässt. Wir müssen lernen, ihn anzunehmen und abzubauen, um nicht aus der Balance zu geraten. Wie man unter Druck ruhig bleibt, ist neben Selbstvertrauen deshalb eine der wichtigsten Eigenschaften für Führungskräfte. Denn die Fähigkeit, mit seinen Emotionen bewusst umzugehen und unter Druck gelassen zu bleiben, wirkt sich direkt auf die eigene Performance aus. Und übrigens auch auf die Gesundheit: Forscher des US National Bureau of Economic Research fanden nämlich heraus, dass dauergestresste Topmanager schneller altern und damit auch früher sterben können. Stress trifft jedoch besonders die mittlere Führungsebene: Eine Studie der Hamburger Kühne Logistics University zu den Auswirkungen von Stress auf Führungskräfte weist nach, dass die Burnout-Neigung in jenen Hierarchieebenen am stärksten ist, die am wenigsten Einfluss nehmen können. Mit anderen Worten: Je mehr Kontrollerleben, desto größer die Selbstwirksamkeit, also das Gefühl, den Aufgaben und Erwartungen kompetent begegnen zu können, und das Machtgefühl, also die Möglichkeit der Einflussnahme. Das reduziert Stress. Gelassen bleiben: Viele Manager stressen sich durch eigenen Leistungsanspruch Oft sind es innere Stressfaktoren, die belasten: Eine Studie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement und der TU München stellte fest, dass der überwiegende Teil der befragten Projektmanager, die mehrheitlich als Führungskräfte im Einsatz waren, am eigenen Leistungsanspruch (88 %) scheitert. Fast sechs von zehn Befragten fiel es schwer, abzuschalten und sich abzugrenzen. Vier von zehn Managern waren zudem nicht in der Lage, zu delegieren. Ein gutes Selbstmanagement, geprägt von mentaler und emotionaler Stärke, kann also erheblich dazu beitragen, den eigenen Stress zu reduzieren. Was also können Führungskräfte tun, um Stress gut zu bewältigen und vielleicht sogar zu reduzieren?

He was a fashionable, successful, wealthy writer and the preeminent poet of his age. He was also a canny businessman who published his translations of Homer via subscription, an early form of crowdfunding, and they sold so well he built himself, an extravagantly large villa in Twickenham – and its famous subterranean grotto still exists today. His political satires were so sharp and topical that he was rumoured to carry a pair of loaded pistols when going for a walk, in case one of his targets took violent exception. Phrases from his poetry are still proverbial: ‘hope springs eternal', ‘Fools rush in where angels fear to tread', ‘a little learning is a dangerous thing', ‘To err is human; to forgive divine', ‘What oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed', and also the title of the movie, ‘eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'. But these days, Pope has really fallen out of fashion. He's seen as archaic and artificial. In an age when formal poetry is out of fashion, for many people he represents the worst kind of formal poetry: his very regular metre and full rhymes sound clunky to our ears. His rhyming couplets are undoubtedly clever, but that's part of the problem, because these days we associate poetry with emotions and self-expression, so cleverness is seen as a little suspect and somehow inauthentic. And I'll be honest, for a long time, I had that image of Pope. He represented everything the Romantics rebelled against at the end of the 18th century, and as a young poet I was on the side of the Romantics, so I had no interest in Pope. However, a few years ago, I challenged myself to have another look at his work, and what I discovered was a really sharp and thought-provoking and witty and formidably skilful poet, who in certain moods, is an absolute pleasure to read. And he doesn't fit every mood, but then there aren't many poets who do. So turning to today's poem, An Essay on Man is one of Pope's major works, it's about 1,300 lines long. As the title suggests it's a meditation on the nature of what he called mankind, and we call humankind, we have to make allowance for the historic focus on the male as representative of the species. It's also a didactic poem, he's not just reflecting on the subject, he is telling us what we should think about it. Which again, is a deeply unfashionable stance for poets these days, at least when they are on the side of a conservative or establishment position. And he does this in the form of a series of verse epistles, verse letters, which are addressed to Henry St John, Viscount Bolingbroke. The epistle form also means that the poem addresses the reader in a very direct manner, as you would expect in a letter. His basic stance, which we find in many of his poems, is of a reasonable man writing for a group of like-minded people, trying to establish some sort of common sense, shared ideas and principles, in a world where these need to be debated and defined and defended. This was the world of the coffee house and the salon, where people came together to debate, sometimes in very robust fashion. It came to be known as the Augustan age in English literature, by comparison with the satirical and political poetry of the age of Augustus Caesar. OK looking more closely at the poem itself, the excerpt I just read is from the second Epistle, and one of the first things we notice is what Milton would have called the ‘jingling' rhymes: Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic’s pride, It's pretty unmistakeable isn't it? One pair of rhymes after another. And in case you're wondering, yes, these rhyming couplets do go on all the way through the poem, and indeed all the way through most of Pope's work. And not just in Pope: for over a century, from about 1650 to 1780, this was a hugely popular verse form. They are known as heroic couplets because they are associated with epic narrative poems, such as John Dryden's translations of Virgil and Pope's translations of Homer. Each line is in iambic pentameter, the familiar ti TUM ti TUM ti TUm ti TUM ti TUM, with two lines next to each other forming couplets, and the poem proceeding with one couplet after another. The form can be traced back to Chaucer, who used rhyming couplets for many of his narrative poems. But by the time of Dryden and Pope it had evolved into a tighter couplet form, described as closed couplets, meaning that they were typically self contained, with a sentence, or a discrete part of a sentence, beginning and ending inside the couplet. For instance: Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. That stands on its own as a single thought, a unit of sense, ending with a full stop. And the full rhyme of ‘scan' and ‘man' means the couplet snaps shut at the end – this is the closed couplet effect we associate with heroic couplets. In the next couplet he introduces the idea of man as a creature of ‘middle state': Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: And then another couplet elaborates on the sense of being pulled in different directions: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic's pride, So the poem proceeds one unit of sense at a time. The couplets are like Lego bricks, and Pope used them to build just about anything he wanted: literary and philosophical discourse here in the Essay on Man and in his Essay on Criticism; mock-heroic social comedy in The Rape of the Lock; actual epic in his translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey; and satire in The Dunciad. It's easy to see how this could become monotonous, and in the work of most poets of the time, it did. But Pope's great achievement was to take this established form and perfect it, sticking very strictly to the formal pattern, while varying the syntax, the grammatical patterns, with great subtlety and complexity, to keep the reader on their toes. Let's take another look at the first couplet. Notice the little pause in the middle of the first line, after ‘thyself': Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; This divides the line into two parts, conveying the dramatic tension in Pope's argument: he's saying that humans are ambitious for knowledge, they want to ‘scan' God, to examine him, but they should really focus on self-knowledge. This tension between opposites is known as antithesis, it's a rhetorical pattern we looked at back in episode 58 about one of Sir Philip Sidney's sonnets, and it's very common in Pope. And the tension is resolved in the next line, which is all one phrase, with no pause: The proper study of mankind is man. Have another listen to the couplet, to hear how the tension is established and then released: Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. So when all of this comes together, the tension and release, the regular rhythm of the metre and the full rhymes clinching the couplet, it has the effect of making the words sound truer than true. The following couplet picks up on the antithesis, and extends it into paradox: Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: An isthmus is a narrow strip of land between two bodies of water, so standing on it, you could easily feel precarious and threatened. ‘Darkly wise' means ‘dimly wise', possessing a little knowledge, but not enough for full understanding. And ‘rudely great' means ‘powerful but coarse and unfinished'. And I think we can recognise what Pope is saying from our own experience – that sense of knowing enough to know how little we really know; of having great potential, but struggling to fulfil it. And isn't it delightful how Pope compresses all those feelings into these neat little paradoxes: ‘darkly wise and rudely great'. In another famous line, he describes true eloquence as ‘What oft was thought but ne'er so well expressed', which is exactly what he achieves here. We can also note that ‘darkly wise' and ‘rudely great' are not only antitheses expressed as paradoxes, they are also an example of another rhetorical pattern: parallelism, where similar structures are repeated with variation. In this case ‘darkly' and ‘rudely' are both adverbs and ‘wise' and ‘great' are both adjectives, so grammatically they are identical, which suggests both similarity and difference in mankind's relationship to knowledge and power. The next couplet uses a more elaborate parallelism: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic's pride, So both lines say ‘With too much something for the something else'. It's hard to miss the pattern, isn't it? And notice how the couplet form is perfect for laying out two ideas that seem to counterbalance each other perfectly. So we're only six lines in and Pope has put his finger on a central conundrum in human existence, and conveyed it with at least three rhetorical patterns nested inside each other – antithesis, paradox and parallelism. Not only that, he's handled the metre and rhyme with great skill, wrapping each thought up in the neat little bow of a rhyming couplet. And if your mind is starting to boggle, welcome to the world of Pope's verse: elegant, authoritative and very, very clever. When we look closely, there's a lot going on inside every single couplet. He's like a watchmaker, working at a tiny scale, making an instrument with great precision and balance, that keeps perfect time, and chimes beautifully. And Pope's contemporaries would have found it easier to follow the sense than we do, because they were used to reading this kind of stuff. But I'm sure the poetry would often have given them pause, even if only for a moment, as they read. And my guess is that they would have enjoyed this slight difficulty, and the pleasure of making out the sense, with the little dopamine hit of understanding. Like unwrapping a sweet before you can pop it in your mouth and taste it. So I hope we're starting to see why Pope is the undisputed master of the heroic couplet. Even T. S. Eliot had to admit defeat, when he wrote a passage in this style for The Waste Land, only for Ezra Pound to point out tactfully that he couldn't compete with Pope, and draw the red pencil through it. But the form is more than simply one couplet after another. When he stacks them together, they create verse paragraphs, longer units of thought, that function very like paragraphs in prose. So having established the idea of man caught between opposing forces, he goes on to elaborate on the theme to dazzling effect: He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest; In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer; Born but to die, and reasoning but to err; Alike in ignorance, his reason such, Whether he thinks too little, or too much: The couplets are individually brilliant, and cumulatively overwhelming, both in terms of the mental effort required to tease out their meanings, and the tension between action and inaction, divine and bestial impulses, mind and body, birth and death, reason and error. And I think that's why I find this line so funny: Whether he thinks too little, or too much: It feels like he's throwing his arms up and laughing and admitting that he's overthinking it all. The verse paragraph ends with three more couplets, where he sums up the nature of man: Chaos of thought and passion, all confused; Still by himself abused, or disabused; Created half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled: The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! Although Pope is describing a ‘chaos of thought', his own thinking is always sharp, however convoluted his argument becomes. So he sticks to the themes of power and knowledge, undercutting man's pretension by saying he is ‘Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all', and ‘Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled'. And he ends this paragraph with another rhetorical device, the tricolon, which uses three parallel elements to build to a conclusion: The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! We're familiar with this pattern in famous quotes from Julius Caesar, ‘I came, I saw, I conquered', the US Declaration of Independence, ‘Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness', and Shakespeare: ‘Friends, Romans, countrymen!' Here, Pope uses it with typical precision, since if someone is both the ‘glory… of the world' and it's ‘jest', i.e. the butt of its jokes, then that makes that person a ‘riddle': The glory, jest, and riddle of the world! So this sums up the nature of man, and sets up the jesting irony of the next verse paragraph: Go, wondrous creature! mount where science guides, Go, measure earth, weigh air, and state the tides; Instruct the planets in what orbs to run, Correct old time, and regulate the sun; If this were the start of the poem, we might be forgiven for taking Pope's words at face value, but in the light of what has gone before, it's pretty clear that ‘wondrous creature' is a mocking criticism. He was writing this in an age where Newtonian physics was in the ascendancy and people were full of enthusiasm about the new discoveries in science and the possibility of understanding and mastering the physical world. And given that we are still living in a so-called age of reason, I think his criticisms of scientific overreach are still relevant, and the joke is still funny, when he talks about instructing the planets in what orbits to follow, correcting time and regulating the sun. As if measuring were full understanding, let alone complete power. But Pope doesn't confine his criticism to scientists. He also has philosophers in his sight: Go, soar with Plato to th' empyreal sphere, To the first good, first perfect, and first fair; Or tread the mazy round his followers trod, And quitting sense call imitating God; He clearly doesn't have a lot of time for Plato's first principles. Neither is he impressed by the contemporary vogue for what we would call Orientalism: As Eastern priests in giddy circles run, And turn their heads to imitate the sun. It's possible that he had in mind the whirling dervishes of Persia, or maybe this is just a caricature of his idea of ‘Eastern priests'. So obviously this is a joke that hasn't aged so well. OK he ends this verse paragraph with a final jab, which restates the idea from the opening couplet in bluntly comic fashion: Go, teach Eternal Wisdom how to rule – Then drop into thyself, and be a fool! It's hard to imagine a more apt image of intellectual presumption than trying to teach Eternal Wisdom a thing or two, but just in case we miss the point, Pope rams it home with relish: Then drop into thyself, and be a fool! And this is another characteristic aspect of Augustan poetry, particularly the satirical kind, that it can be very crude and direct, with a passage of sophisticated argument followed by a line or two where the mask drops and the insult is laid bare. And no, it's not big or clever, but let's face it, sometimes it can be deeply satisfying. One more little detail, which I can't help wondering about: notice how both of these couplets, conveying the same basic idea in very different tones, both hinge on the word ‘thyself': Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. Go, teach Eternal Wisdom how to rule – Then drop into thyself, and be a fool! So that word ‘thyself' could be used to refer to various individuals, and knowing Pope, I wouldn't be surprised if he intended all of them at once. Firstly, the phrasing sounds proverbial, in which case each couplet is an injunction to mankind at large. Secondly, it could refer to the reader, any reader, of the poem, whether Viscount Bolingbroke, an 18th-century wit, or you and me, reading the poem together on this podcast. It could also refer to the specific targets of Pope's criticism, such as the overreaching scientists or philosophers. I think Pope may also have had in mind a target nearer to home: himself. W. B. Yeats wrote in one of his essays, ‘We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry'. And it's entirely possible that Pope is doing both at once: we've seen the brilliance of his rhetoric, in puncturing the pretensions of his fellow men and women. Yet by making poetry as well as rhetoric, he is arguably arguing with himself as well. It was of course be entirely right and proper and expected for a Christian such as Pope to admonish himself as well as others, for the many and various sins he describes in An Essay on Man. So from a moral viewpoint, I think I'm on pretty safe ground in suggesting that ‘thyself' includes Pope. But I would go further, and say that the idea of a brilliant mind that is not quite brilliant enough to fully understand itself may have been a deeply personal subject for Pope. Because what we have here is an extremely clever warning about taking cleverness to extremes. Maybe the irony was not lost on Pope. As he wrote in another poem, An Essay on Criticism, ‘A little learning is a dangerous thing'. So perhaps as we hear this passage again, and enjoy the sparkling wit and scurrilous attacks on others, we can also detect a note of self-reflection, and self-accusation, that makes it a little more poignant than it first appears. From An Essay on Man Epistle II By Alexander Pope Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;The proper study of mankind is man.Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,A being darkly wise, and rudely great:With too much knowledge for the sceptic side,With too much weakness for the stoic's pride,He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest;In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast;In doubt his mind or body to prefer;Born but to die, and reasoning but to err;Alike in ignorance, his reason such,Whether he thinks too little, or too much:Chaos of thought and passion, all confused;Still by himself abused, or disabused;Created half to rise, and half to fall;Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled:The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

As a Catholic he was barred from university and public office, so he educated himself and forged a brilliant literary career, becoming the leading poet of Augustan England, celebrated for his razor-sharp satire and polished heroic couplets. Early success came with An Essay on Criticism and The Rape of the Lock, followed by monumental translations of Homer that made him financially independent. His later works, including The Dunciad, attacked dullness and corruption. In An Essay on Man, he explored human nature, providence, and moral order with epigrammatic clarity. He lived at Twickenham, where he created a famous garden and grotto.   A Mouthful of Air – the podcast This is a transcript of an episode of A Mouthful of Air – a poetry podcast hosted by Mark McGuinness.

Ein Social-Media-Verbot für unter 14-Jährige: Dafür hat sich die SPD Mitte Februar in einem Impulspapier stark gemacht. Auch die CDU hat diese Forderung beim Bundesparteitag in Stuttgart vergangene Woche beschlossen. Es geht darum, junge Menschen vor den Gefahren von Social Media zu schützen. Australien hat ein ähnliches Verbot bereits umgesetzt, viele Plattformen sind dort nun eigentlich erst ab 16 Jahren zugänglich - allerdings gelingt es vielen Jugendlichen, das Verbot zu umgehen. Bringt ein Social-Media-Verbot also überhaupt etwas? Und kann so ein Verbot tatsächlich umgesetzt werden? Auch wenn die Forschungslage noch vergleichsweise dürftig ist, deuten vorliegende Studien darauf hin, dass der Effekt von Social Media auf die psychische und körperliche Gesundheit junger Menschen bei zu starker Nutzung erheblich ist. Muss der Staat Kinder deshalb vor Social Media schützen? Darüber sprechen Anne Will und Alena Buyx in dieser Folge. Alena Buyx ist Ärztin und Professorin für Ethik der Medizin und Gesundheitstechnologien an der TU München. Außerdem war sie während der Coronapandemie Vorsitzende des Deutschen Ethikrates. Buyx hält ein Verbot für richtig, wenn man es nach wissenschaftlichen Empfehlungen ausgestaltet, die Bedürfnisse verschiedener Altersgruppen berücksichtigt - und wenn man parallel auch die Themen Plattformregulierung und Medienpädagogik angeht.

„Neseniai JAV Teisingumo departamento paviešintos bylos rodo, kad nuteistas seksualinis nusikaltėlis ir finansininkas Jeffrey'is Epsteinas bei buvęs Donaldo Trumpo padėjėjas Steve'as Bannonas aptarinėjo strategijas, kaip pakenkti popiežiui Pranciškui.

Visiškas skaidrumas ir, apaštalo Pauliaus žodžiais, viltis, kai regis nėra jokios vilties. Tokį įspūdį palieka pokalbis su Alesiu Beliackiu. Nūdienos pasauliui labai reikia tokio liudijimo. 2025 m. gruodžio viduryje tarpininkaujant Jungtinėms Amerikos Valstijoms, iš kalėjimo buvo paleistas ir į Vilnių atgabentas Baltarusijos disidentas, dukart politinis kalinys, rašytojas ir 2022 m. Nobelio Taikos premijos laureatas Alesis Bialiackis. Praėjus mėnesiui po jo išlaisvinimo, pasitaikė ypatinga proga pakalbinti šį iškilų žmogaus teisių gynėją, kuris mielai sutiko duoti interviu „Naujajam Židiniui-Aidams“ bei „Mažajai studijai“. Kalbėjomės telefonu, ponui Bialiackiui viešint Norvegijoje, o mūsų pokalbis sukosi apie nelaisvę, orumą, viltį ir Europą. Visą pokalbio turinį rasite pirmajame šių metų „Naujojo Židinio-Aidų“ numeryje, o šiandien kviečiame klausytis atskirų pokalbio fragmentų.Redaktorė Rūta Tumėnaitė.

„Milžiniško kiekio dokumentų apie Jeffrey'io Epsteino bylą paviešinimas praskleidė uždangą į turtų ir privilegijų pasaulį, kuriame nežabotai mėgaujamasi teisėmis ir neliečiamybe. Tai, kas slėpėsi už uždangos, sukėlė pasibjaurėjimą paprastiems mirtingiesiems, kuriems vis dar tebėra nesvetimi tokie dalykai kaip garbės ir padorumo jausmas. Anksčiau visada atrodė, kad moralinės normos egzistuoja net ir tada, kai jos ignoruojamos. Epsteino atvejį išskirtinai moderniu daro nūdienos pasaulio turtingų ir privilegijuotų vyrų begėdystė ir visiškas normų ar moralės kodeksų jausmo nebuvimas."

„Popiežius Leonas atrodo toks pat atsargus siauro nacionalizmo atžvilgiu ir toks pat įsipareigojęs migrantų teisėms kaip ir jo pirmtakas. Todėl nacionalistų pretenzijos į katalikišką paveldą gali ir toliau likti bergždžios. Jei taip bus, galima tikėtis, kad Maréchal tipo veikėjai bandys dar labiau sėti nepasitikėjimą Vatikanu, be kita ko, pabrėždami popiežiaus neeuropietišką kilmę. Tačiau jei Prancūzijos vyskupai parodys bent menkiausią simpatiją populistiniams nacionalistams su jų kultūros karų apokalipsėmis, tai gali paskatinti kraštutinių dešiniųjų judėjimus ne tik Prancūzijoje, bet ir visame pasaulyje."

HEALTH NEWS   Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidanc       Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety University of Calgary (Canada), January 14 2026 (Natural News) For decades, the standard pharmaceutical approach to treating depression and anxiety has dominated treatment options, despite significant drawbacks including delayed effects, debilitating side effects and high relapse rates. Now, compelling new research is challenging this paradigm by pointing to a surprising source of relief: the gut. A comprehensive scientific analysis, synthesizing data from over 1,400 clinically diagnosed patients, reveals that probiotics—beneficial bacteria readily available as supplements—can produce substantial reductions in both depressive and anxious symptoms.   The analysis major findings include:     A major analysis of 23 clinical trials finds probiotics can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in clinically diagnosed patients.   The benefits, appearing within 4-8 weeks, were comparable to some conventional antidepressants but without the same side-effect profile.   The gut-brain axis, a communication network largely ignored by conventional psychiatry, is central to understanding this connection.   Single-strain probiotic supplements, particularly certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, showed the strongest mental health effects.   This research supports a holistic view of mental wellness, where gut health is a foundational component of treatment.     Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Technical University Munich (Germany), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) Each year, more than two million people die from advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). Previous research has linked gut microbiome disruptions to this condition and suggested that bacteria typically found in the mouth may colonize the gut. A new study published in Nature Microbiology now shows that identical bacterial strains occur in both the mouth and gut of patients with advanced chronic liver disease and also reveals a mechanism by which oral bacteria affect gut health. The researchers also found that this process coincides with worsening liver health. Researchers analyzed bacterial populations in saliva and stool samples from patients. The team found that both the gut and oral microbiome undergo significant changes as liver disease worsened, where changes to the oral microbiome were already detectable at earlier disease stages. In healthy individuals, bacterial communities differ substantially between body sites. In patients with liver disease, however, oral and gut microbiomes became increasingly similar as the disease progressed and nearly identical bacterial strains were recovered from the mouth and gut of patients. "These strains are typically found in the mouth and are rarely present in the healthy gut. However, we observed increases in the absolute abundances of these oral bacteria in patients with advanced chronic liver disease. This strongly suggests that these bacteria translocate from the mouth and colonize the gut," explains Melanie Schirmer, Professor of Translational Microbiome Data Integration at TUM.   Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications Anglia Ruskin University (UK), January 9 2026 (Eurekalert)   Patients with chronic illnesses face a significantly higher risk of complications from cosmetic botulinum toxin injections, commonly known as Botox, according to a major UK study. Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) surveyed 919 adults who had received botulinum toxin treatments for aesthetic reasons. The study, published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, is the largest of its kind to have been carried out in the UK. Botulinum toxin injections are among the UK's most popular cosmetic procedures, with an estimated 900,000 treatments performed every year. Researchers found that underlying conditions such as type 1 diabetes, thyroid disorders, chronic migraine and skin disease dramatically increase the likelihood of adverse effects. According to the study, people with type 1 diabetes were 92 times more likely to experience nausea after treatment compared to those without the condition. Those with thyroid disorders and chronic migraine sufferers had an approximately 10-fold increase in the risk of nausea. Other complications associated with pre-existing conditions included headaches, bruising, muscle weakness and persistent eyelid droop (ptosis). Patients with cataracts were 30 times more likely to report headaches, and those with prior injuries had a 21-fold increased risk of losing facial expression.   From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Swansea University (UK), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) New research by Swansea experts has provided the largest ever comparison of well-being-focused interventions delivered to adults. The team reviewed 183 randomized controlled trials, representing almost 23,000 participants, and evaluated 12 categories of interventions ranging from psychological, physical, mind–body, and nature-based approaches to find out more. Their research was the first interdisciplinary comparison carried out across psychological, physical, mind-body and environmental interventions. The study gives an integrated view of how different disciplines contribute to well-being. By focusing on general adult samples rather than clinical groups, it provides evidence that will be relevant to developing public health, education, workplace well-being, and community programs. The researchers' key findings were: Most interventions improved well-being compared with inactive control groups; Strongest effects were found for combined exercise plus psychological interventions (for example, awe walks or meditation combined with walking); Mind–body interventions showed consistently moderate, reliable effects; Exercise alone produced similar benefits to many psychological interventions; and, Positive psychology interventions—both single-component and multicomponent—were also effective. The analysis shows that there is no single route to improving well-being. Mindfulness, compassion-based approaches, yoga, exercise and positive psychology interventions all showed moderate benefits compared with control groups, and combining physical activity with psychological interventions appeared particularly promising.   Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidance     University College London & Cambridge, January 7 2026 (News-Medical) People prescribed the new generation of weight loss drugs may not receive sufficient nutritional guidance to support safe and sustainable weight loss, leaving them vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss, say experts at UCL and the University of Cambridge. In research published today in Obesity Reviews, the team found a lack of robust evidence surrounding nutritional advice and support and the impact this has on factors such as calorie intake, body composition, protein adequacy, and patient experiences. Weight loss drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide – available under brand names including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro – mimic the naturally-occurring hormone glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), released into the blood in response to eating. The drugs suppress appetite, increase a feeling of being full, and reduce food cravings. These drugs can reduce calorie intake by between 16-39 %, making them a powerful tool to help people living with obesity and being overweight. However, there has been little research to examine their impact on diet quality, protein intake, or adequacy of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The researchers identified just 12 studies that looked at nutrition and diet alongside treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Given the widespread – and increasing – use of these medications and the urgency of providing advice to individuals using the drugs, there was insufficient evidence from the studies to recommend strict low-fat diets to complement the weight loss drugs. Some observational studies found that people on the treatments often consumed excessive levels of total and saturated fat. These medications are transforming obesity care, but we know very little about how they shape people's daily lives, including changes in appetite, eating patterns, wellbeing, and quality of life.

Palydėdami įtampų ir sukrėtimų kupinus senuosius metus, pirmąją naujųjų metų programą nusprendėme paskirti klausimui, ar dar kas nors gero liko pasaulyje? Tuo, be abejo, perfrazuojame šiek tiek ironišką pokalbių rubriką, kuri vadinosi „Kas negerai su pasauliu“. Tačiau žengiant į naujuosius metus, labai norisi juos pradėti vilties žodžiais, ypač atsisveikinant su netrukus oficialiai Bažnyčioje pasibaigsiančiu Vilties jubiliejumi. Taigi šioje laidoje vilties ženklų ieškosime su filosofu ir kultūros istoriku Vytautu Ališausku, o čia pat į sunkiai įtikimą tikrovę sugrąžins Augminas Patronis su savo komentaru „Fašistai grįžo“ - ir net ne Europoje.Antroje programos dalyje išgirsite anglikonų vyskupo Rowano Williamo esė „Kalėdos“, kunigas Mozė Mitkevičius pasakos apie savo naują knygą „Žiū - gi Dangaus Karalystė! Provokacija Jėzaus palyginimuose“, o programos pabaigoje išgirsite įrašą iš „Mažosios studijos“ archyvų: Jurgio Kunčino esė „Baltos pasaulio Kalėdos“ skaitys Gerardas Žalėnas.Redaktoriai Rūta Tumėnaitė ir Julius Sasnauskas.

Episode 87 Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold Mark McGuinness reads and discusses ‘Dover Beach' by Matthew Arnold. https://media.blubrry.com/amouthfulofair/media.blubrry.com/amouthfulofair/content.blubrry.com/amouthfulofair/87_Dover_Beach_by_Matthew_Arnold.mp3 Poet Matthew Arnold Reading and commentary by Mark McGuinness Dover Beach By Matthew Arnold The sea is calm tonight.The tide is full, the moon lies fairUpon the straits; on the French coast the lightGleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!Only, from the long line of sprayWhere the sea meets the moon-blanched land,Listen! you hear the grating roarOf pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,At their return, up the high strand,Begin, and cease, and then again begin,With tremulous cadence slow, and bringThe eternal note of sadness in. Sophocles long agoHeard it on the Aegean, and it broughtInto his mind the turbid ebb and flowOf human misery; weFind also in the sound a thought,Hearing it by this distant northern sea. The Sea of FaithWas once, too, at the full, and round earth's shoreLay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.But now I only hearIts melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,Retreating, to the breathOf the night-wind, down the vast edges drearAnd naked shingles of the world. Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! for the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night. Podcast Transcript This is a magnificent and haunting poem by Matthew Arnold, an eminent Victorian poet. Written and published at the mid-point of the nineteenth century – it was probably written around 1851 and published in 1867 – it is not only a shining example of Victorian poetry at its best, but it also, and not coincidentally, embodies some of the central preoccupations of the Victorian age. The basic scenario is very simple: a man is looking out at the sea at night and thinking deep thoughts. It's something that we've all done, isn't it? The two tend to go hand-in-hand. When you're looking out into the darkness, listening to the sound of the sea, it's hard not to be thinking deep thoughts. If you've been a long time listener to this podcast, it may remind you of another poet who wrote about standing on the shore thinking deep thoughts, looking at the sea, Shakespeare, in his Sonnet 60: Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,So do our minutes hasten to their end; Arnold's poem is not a sonnet but a poem in four verse paragraphs. They're not stanzas, because they're not regular, but if you look at the text on the website, you can clearly see it's divided into four sections. The first part is a description of the sea, as seen from Dover Beach, which is on the shore of the narrowest part of the English channel, making it the closest part of England to France: The sea is calm tonight.The tide is full, the moon lies fairUpon the straits; – on the French coast the lightGleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. And as you can hear, the poem has a pretty regular and conventional rhythm, based on iambic metre, ti TUM, with the second syllable taking the stress in every metrical unit. But what's slightly unusual is that the lines have varying lengths. By the time we get to the third line: Upon the straits; – on the French coast the light There are five beats. There's a bit of variation in the middle of the line, but it's very recognisable as classic iambic pentameter, which has a baseline pattern going ti TUM, ti TUM, ti TUM, ti TUM, ti TUM. But before we get to the pentameter, we get two short lines: The sea is calm tonight.Only three beats; andThe tide is full, the moon lies fair – four beats. We also start to notice the rhymes: ‘tonight' and ‘light'. And we have an absolutely delightful enjambment, where a phrase spills over the end of one line into the next one: On the French coast the light,Gleams and is gone. Isn't that just fantastic? The light flashes out like a little surprise at the start of the line, just as it's a little surprise for the speaker looking out to sea. OK, once he's set the scene, he makes an invitation: Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! So if there's a window, he must be in a room. There's somebody in the room with him, and given that it's night it could well be a bedroom. So this person could be a lover. It's quite likely that this poem was written on Arnold's honeymoon, which would obviously fit this scenario. But anyway, he's inviting this person to come to the window and listen. And what does this person hear? Well, helpfully, the speaker tells us: Listen! you hear the grating roarOf pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,At their return, up the high strand,Begin, and cease, and then again begin,With tremulous cadence slow, and bringThe eternal note of sadness in. Isn't that just great? The iambic metre is continuing with some more variations, which we needn't go into. And the rhyme is coming more and more to the fore. Just about every line in this section rhymes with another line, but it doesn't have a regular pattern. Some of the rhymes are close together, some are further apart. There's only one line in this paragraph that doesn't rhyme, and that's ‘Listen! You hear the grating roar'. If this kind of shifting rhyme pattern reminds you of something you've heard before, you may be thinking all the way back to Episode 34 where we looked at Coleridge's use of floating rhymes in his magical poem ‘Kubla Khan'. And it's pretty evident that Arnold is also casting a spell, in this case to mimic the rhythm of the waves coming in and going out, as they ‘Begin, and cease, and then again begin,'. And then the wonderful last line of the paragraph, as the waves ‘bring / The eternal note of sadness in'. You know, in the heart of the Victorian Age, when the Romantics were still within living memory, poets were still allowed to do that kind of thing. Try it nowadays of course, and the Poetry Police will be round to kick your front door in at 5am and arrest you. Anyway. The next paragraph is a bit of a jump cut: Sophocles long agoHeard it on the Aegean, and it broughtInto his mind the turbid ebb and flowOf human misery; So Arnold, a classical scholar, is letting us know he knows who Sophocles, the ancient Greek playwright was. And he's establishing a continuity across time of people looking out at the sea and thinking these deep thoughts. At this point, Arnold explicitly links the sea and the thinking:                                     weFind also in the sound a thought,Hearing it by this distant northern sea. And the thought that we hear when we listen to the waves is what Arnold announces in the next verse paragraph, and he announces it with capital letters: The Sea of FaithWas once, too, at the full, and round earth's shoreLay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. And for a modern reader, I think this is the point of greatest peril for Arnold, where he's most at risk of losing us. We may be okay with ‘the eternal note of sadness', but as soon as he starts giving us the Sea of Faith, we start to brace ourselves. Is this going to turn into a horrible religious allegory, like The Pilgrim's Progress? I mean, it's a short step from the Sea of Faith to the Slough of Despond and the City of Destruction. And it doesn't help that Arnold uses the awkwardly rhyming phrase ‘a bright girdle furled' – that's not going to get past the Poetry Police, is it? But fear not; Arnold doesn't go there. What comes next is, I think, the best bit of the poem. So he says the Sea of Faith ‘was once, too, at the full', and then: But now I only hearIts melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,Retreating, to the breathOf the night-wind, down the vast edges drearAnd naked shingles of the world. Well, if you thought the eternal note of sadness was great, this tops it! It's absolutely fantastic. That line, ‘Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,' where the ‘it' is faith, the Sea of Faith. And the significance of the line is underlined by the fact that the word ‘roar' is a repetition – remember, that one line in the first section that didn't rhyme? Listen! you hear the grating roar See what Arnold did there? He left that sound hovering at the back of the mind, without a rhyme, until it came back in this section, a subtle but unmistakeable link between the ‘grating roar' of the actual sea at Dover Beach, and the ‘withdrawing roar' of the Sea of Faith: Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Isn't that the most Victorian line ever? It encapsulates the despair that accompanied the crisis of faith in 19th century England. This crisis was triggered by the advance of modern science – including the discoveries of fossils, evidence of mass extinction of previous species, and the theory of evolution, with Darwin's Origin of Species published in 1859, in between the writing and publication of ‘Dover Beach'. Richard Holmes, in his wonderful new biography of the young Tennyson, compares this growing awareness of the nature of life on Earth to the modern anxiety over climate change. For the Victorians, he writes, it created a ‘deep and existential terror'. One thing that makes this passage so effective is that Arnold has already cast the spell in the first verse paragraph, hypnotising us with the rhythm and rhyme, and linking it to the movement of the waves. In the second paragraph, he says, ‘we find also in the sound a thought'. And then in the third paragraph, he tells us the thought. And the thought that he attaches to this movement, which we are by now emotionally invested in, is a thought of such horror and profundity – certainly for his Victorian readers – that the retreat of the sea of faith really does feel devastating. It leaves us gazing down at the naked shingles of the world. The speaker is now imaginatively out of the bedroom and down on the beach. This is very relatable; we've all stood on the beach and watched the waves withdrawing beneath our feet and the shingle being left there. It's an incredibly vivid evocation of a pretty abstract concept. Then, in the fourth and final verse paragraph, comes a bit of a surprise: Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! Well, I for one was not expecting that! From existential despair to an appeal to his beloved. What a delightful, romantic (with a small ‘r') response to the big-picture, existential catastrophe. And for me, it's another little echo of Shakespeare's Sonnet 60, which opens with a poet contemplating the sea and the passing of time and feeling the temptation to despair, yet also ends with an appeal to the consolation of love: And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,blockquotePraising thy worth, despite his cruel hand. Turning back to Arnold. He says ‘let us be true / To one another'. And then he links their situation to the existential catastrophe, and says this is precisely why they should be true to each other: for the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; It sounds, on the face of it, a pretty unlikely justification for being true to one another in a romantic sense. But actually, this is a very modern stance towards romantic love. It's like the gleam of light that just flashed across the Channel from France – the idea of you and me against an unfeeling world, of love as redemption, or at least consolation, in a meaningless universe. In a world with ‘neither joy, nor love, nor light,' our love becomes all the more poignant and important. Of course, we could easily object that, regardless of religious faith, the world does have joy and love and light. His very declaration of love is evidence of this. But let's face it, we don't always come to poets for logical consistency, do we? And we don't have to agree with Matthew Arnold to find this passage moving; most of us have felt like this at some time when we've looked at the world in what feels like the cold light of reality. He evokes it so vividly and dramatically that I, for one, am quite prepared to go with him on this. Then we get the final three lines of the poem:We are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night. I don't know about you, but I find this a little jarring in the light of what we've just heard. We've had the magnificent description of the sea and its effect on human thought, extending that into the idea of faith receding into illusion, and settling on human love as some kind of consolation for the loss of faith. So why do we need to be transported to a windswept plain where armies are clashing and struggling? It turns out to be another classical reference, to the Greek historian Thucydides' account of the night battle of Epipolae, where the two armies were running around in the dark and some of them ended up fighting their own side in the confusion. I mean, fine, he's a classical scholar. And obviously, it's deeply meaningful to him. But to me, this feels a little bit bolted on. A lot of people love that ending, but to me, it's is not as good as some of the earlier bits, or at least it doesn't quite feel all of a piece with the imagery of the sea. But overall, it is a magnificent poem, and this is a small quibble. Stepping back, I want to have another look at the poem's form, specifically the meter, and even more specifically, the irregularity of the meter, which is quite unusual and actually quite innovative for its time. As I've said, it's in iambic meter, but it's not strictly iambic pentameter. You may recall I did a mini series on the podcast a while ago looking at the evolution of blank verse, unrhymed iambic pentameter, from Christopher Marlowe and Shakespeare's dramatic verse, then Milton's Paradise Lost and finally Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey. ‘Dover Beach' is rhymed, so it's not blank verse, but most of the techniques Arnold uses here are familiar from those other poets, with variations on the basic rhythm, sometimes switching the beats around, and using enjambment and caesura (a break or pause in the middle of the line). But, and – this is quite a big but – not every line has five beats. The lines get longer and shorter in an irregular pattern, apparently according to Arnold's instinct. And this is pretty unusual, certainly for 1851. It's not unique, we could point to bits of Tennyson or Arthur Hugh Clough for metrical experiments in a similar vein, but it's certainly not common practice. And I looked into this, to see what the critics have said about it. And it turns out the scholars are divided. In one camp, the critics say that what Arnold is doing is firmly in the iambic pentameter tradition – it's just one more variation on the pattern. But in the other camp are people who say, ‘No, this is something new; this is freer verse,' and it is anticipating free verse, the non-metrical poetry with no set line lengths that came to be the dominant verse form of the 20th century. Personally, I think you can look back to Wordsworth and see a continuity with his poetic practice. But you could equally look forward, to a link with T. S. Eliot's innovations in ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock' and The Waste Land. Eliot is often described as an innovator in free verse, which is true up to a point, but a lot of his writing in that early period isn't strictly free verse; it's a kind of broken up metrical verse, where he often uses an iambic metre with long and short lines, which he varies with great intuitive skill – in a similar manner to Arnold's ‘Dover Beach'. Interestingly, when ‘Dover Beach' was first published, the reviews didn't really talk about the metre, which is ammunition for the people who say, ‘Well, this is just a kind of iambic pentameter'. Personally, I think what we have here is something like the well-known Duck-Rabbit illusion, where you can look at the same drawing and either see a duck or a rabbit, depending how you look at it. So from one angle, ‘Dover Beach' is clearly continuing the iambic pentameter tradition; from another angle, it anticipates the innovations of free verse. We can draw a line from the regular iambic pentameter of Wordsworth (writing at the turn of the 18th and 19th century) to the fractured iambic verse of Eliot at the start of the 20th century. ‘Dover Beach' is pretty well halfway between them, historically and poetically. And I don't think this is just a dry technical development. There is something going on here in terms of the poet's sense of order and disorder, faith and doubt. Wordsworth, in the regular unfolding of his blank verse, conveys his basic trust in an ordered and meaningful universe. Matthew Arnold is writing very explicitly about the breakup of faith, and we can start to see it in the breakup of the ordered iambic pentameter. By the time we get to the existential despair of Eliot's Waste Land, the meter is really falling apart, like the Waste Land Eliot describes. So overall, I think we can appreciate what a finely balanced poem Arnold has written. It's hard to categorise. You read it the first time and think, ‘Oh, right, another conventional Victorian melancholy lament'. But just when we think he's about to go overboard with the Sea of Faith, he surprises us and with that magnificent central passage. And just as he's about to give in to despair, we get that glimmering spark of love lighting up, and we think, ‘Well, maybe this is a romantic poem after all'. And maybe Arnold might look at me over his spectacles and patiently explain that actually, this is why that final metaphor of the clashing armies is exactly right. Friend and foe are running in first one direction, then another, inadvertently killing the people on the wrong side. So the simile gives us that sense of being caught in the cross-currents of a larger sweep of history. With all of that hovering in our mind, let's go over to the window once more and heed his call to listen to the sound of the Victorian sea at Dover Beach. Dover Beach By Matthew Arnold The sea is calm tonight.The tide is full, the moon lies fairUpon the straits; on the French coast the lightGleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand,Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!Only, from the long line of sprayWhere the sea meets the moon-blanched land,Listen! you hear the grating roarOf pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling,At their return, up the high strand,Begin, and cease, and then again begin,With tremulous cadence slow, and bringThe eternal note of sadness in. Sophocles long agoHeard it on the Aegean, and it broughtInto his mind the turbid ebb and flowOf human misery; weFind also in the sound a thought,Hearing it by this distant northern sea. The Sea of FaithWas once, too, at the full, and round earth's shoreLay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.But now I only hearIts melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,Retreating, to the breathOf the night-wind, down the vast edges drearAnd naked shingles of the world. Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! for the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night. Matthew Arnold Matthew Arnold was a British poet, critic, and public intellectual who was born in 1822 and died in 1888. His father was Thomas Arnold, the famed headmaster of Rugby School. Arnold studied Classics at Oxford and first became known for lyrical, melancholic poems such as ‘Dover Beach', ‘The Scholar-Gipsy', and ‘Thyrsis', that explore the loss of faith in the modern world. Appointed an inspector of schools, he travelled widely and developed strong views on culture, education, and society. His critical essays, especially Culture and Anarchy, shaped debates about the role of culture in public life. Arnold remains a central figure bridging Romanticism and early modern thought.

Starp zvaigznēm, planētām, komētām un citiem objektiem izplatījumā ir matērija, kuru neredzam, nespējam uztvert ar tradicionāliem novērojumiem, bet par tās klātbūtni esam visai droši jau teju gadsimtu. Tumšā matērija ir viena no aizraujošajām visuma mīklām, par kuru arī nesen tapuši jauni atklājumi. Kas tā ir, ko tā satur un kādas teorijas par to ir zinātniekiem pasaulē? Raidījumā Zināmais nezināmajā skaidro Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Daļiņu fizikas un paātrinātāju tehnoloģiju institūta direktors Kārlis Dreimanis un astronomijas entuziasti un IT speciālisti Ints Ķešāns un Raitis Misa. Kur beidzas Saules sistēma un sākas starpzvaigžņu telpa? „Astronomijas lielākā burvība ir, ka ap mums ir faktiski bezgalīga telpa, tā nav tukša, tur zvaigznes, miglāji un daudz kas cits un visu laiku var kaut ko pētīt arvien tālāk, smalkāk un detalizētāk un izzināt kaut ko jaunu. Tas ir tāds liels lauks, kur tik paskaties, ir ko izzināt. Tas, man liekas, attaisno cilvēka būtību meklēt kaut ko jaunu un izzināt,” saka Latvijas Astronomijas biedrības projektu vadītājs Mārtiņš Gills. Gadu desmitu un gadsimtu laikā cilvēku priekšstats par to, kas veido Saules sistēmu, aizvien ir paplašinājies. Šobrīd nevaram teikt, ka zinām pilnīgi visu, un gluži kā Dullajiem Daukām arī mums varētu rasties jautājums ja ne gluži par to, kas ir aiz horizonta, tad par to, kur beidzas Saules sistēma, gan. Zināmi atskaites punkti, kas nosaka aptuvenās Saules sistēmas robežas, ir skaidri. Kā tad šī izpratne pakāpeniski ir veidojusies, par to stāsta Mārtiņš Gills.

Send us a textWilliam stops by to discuss his latest release Dream Vessel as well as the many styles of Chicago music.****William Covert announces the release of 'Dream Vessel' via Coup Sur Coup Records.Exploring the territories on the intersection of improvised music, jazz and ambient soundscapes, Chicago-based musician is happy to present his newest release.After more than 15 years of drumming in math rock, post-rock, and post-hardcore bands, William Covert began experimenting with live-looped synths alongside acoustic and electronic drums. This experimentation birthed two full-length solo albums characterized by post-rock and krautrock-inspired synth loops and melodies, all performed solo with loop pedals and sequencers. “I wanted my third solo album to go in a different direction with different instrumentation,” – explains Covert discussing the process behind the creation of ‘Dream Vessel'.Joining Covert on drums for half the album's tracks, longtime collaborators Jack McKevitt (guitar) and Nathan Schenck (bass) perform together as the William Covert Trio. Recorded live and fully improvised in the studio, the William Covert Trio tracks contain no overdubs, capturing the spontaneous and visceral energy of the musicians performing together in the same room. The trio, who also play together in Chicago's post-hardcore noise rock outfit Tum, bring an aggressive avant-garde noise rock improvisational ethos to the record. “The trio's approach is rooted in raw energy with loose but deliberate structure,” states Covert, equally inspired by both Don Caballero and Last Exit.While the first part of the record became a group effort for Covert, the other half was performed entirely solo, diving deep into cinematic ambient soundscapes, dreamy Frippertronic-influenced guitars, modular synth, and free-jazz drumming filtered through a post-industrial lens. These compositions immerse themselves in meticulously layered sound design with nods to slowcore and minimalist post-rock, providing a dynamic contrast to the trio's raw intensity. ‘Dream Vessel' coming October 17*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Radiowissen finden Sie auch in der ARD Audiothek: ARD Audiothek | Radiowissen JETZT ENTDECKEN Das vollständige Manuskript gibt es HIER. Lesen Sie einen Ausschnitt aus dem Manuskript: ERZÄHLERIN Endlich, nach beinahe 16 Jahren Planungs- und Bauzeit ist es soweit. - Jetzt, 1843, ist sie fertiggestellt: Die königliche Hof- und Staatsbibliothek in München.   ZITATOR (Architekturführer) Dieser in den großartigsten Verhältnissen angelegte Bau wurde im italienischen-mittelalterlichen Style ausgeführt. -    ERZÄHLERIN - schreibt ein zeitgenössischer bautechnischer Führer -   ZITATOR (Architekturführer) - In seinen ausgedehnten Räumlichkeiten umschließt das Gebäude die außerordentlich reiche, gegenwärtig 1.300.000 Bände zählende Staatsbibliothek.   MUSIK    1. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) Da denkt man - riesengroß - da müssen alle Bücher der Welt hineinpassen -   ERZÄHLERIN Sagt Egon Greipl, (ehemaliger) oberster Denkmalschützer in Bayern. -   2. ZUSPIELUNG (Greipl) - und dann geht man hinein und sieht, da ist eine Menge Platz verschenkt worden für eine Treppe und solche repräsentative Sachen.   MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Eine Prachttreppe, die seinerzeit nur der König benutzen durfte. An ihr hat man bis zuletzt gearbeitet. 54 Stufen muss die Majestät überwinden, um aus dem dunklen Eingangsbereich in das Licht, zu den Büchern, zur Wissenschaft zu gelangen. - Obwohl der König in den letzten Jahren meist ein schwieriger Auftraggeber gewesen ist, ständig an den Plänen etwas ändert oder ändern lässt, die Treppe findet selbst der Architekt so schlecht nicht:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Für die Haupttreppe stehe ich gut, das ist die pompöseste die wenigstens in Deutschland existiert. Diese gefällt mir selbst.   MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Und das ist der Baumeister des 152 Meter langen und 24 Meter hohen Monumentalbaus: Friedrich von Gärtner. Die Bibliothek: sein erster Auftrag für König Ludwig I. - Vor 16 Jahren, 1827, ließ Ludwig den gar nicht mehr so jungen Architekten gewähren: Gärtner soll nun endlich sein erstes Gebäude überhaupt bauen. Und dann gleich ein so großes.   3. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ein riesiger Bau. Und die besondere Pointe oder Gemeinheit könnte man auch sagen, liegt darin, dass er diesen Bau an der von Klenze geplanten Ludwigsstraße vorgesehen hat...   ERZÄHLERIN - so Winfried Nerdinger, Architekturhistoriker aus München. - Die Ludwigsstraße, sie ist des Königs Lieblingskind, sie soll seine Prachtmeile werden...     4. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Klenze hat ja diese Straße komplett geplant, das war "seine Straße", er hat den ganzen südlichen Teil bereits mit Neubauten bestückt und jetzt mitten hinein in seine Straße, der größte Bau überhaupt bis dahin, die Staatsbibliothek, da bekommt ausgerechnet sein Konkurrent den Auftrag. Und das war sicherlich für Klenze ein Schlag.   MUSIKAKZENT   ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Leo Klenze, zwei Baumeister in königlichen Diensten - ein Berufsleben lang lauern sie wie Skylla und Charybdis, die beiden Ungeheuer, an der Meerenge von Messina. Und, um im mythologischen Bild zu bleiben, kein königlicher Auftrag soll an ihnen ungeschoren vorbei kommen.   5. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Die waren beide nicht von Pappe, um es mal salopp zu formulieren und haben mit allen Mitteln sich gegenseitig bekämpft und für ihre Karriere gekämpft.   ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist er alt, da wird der junge begabte Nachwuchsarchitekt Friedrich Gärtner Ludwig vorgestellt. Und wer bringt ihn zum Kronprinzen? Der 7 Jahre ältere Klenze. Der, ein protestantischer Preuße, ist schon seit einem Jahr in Diensten des Königshofs.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Dass dieser zum Faktotum geworden ist, ersah ich schon längst, den Grad aber ersah ich da näher.   6. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Als drittes muss man immer noch den König mit einbeziehen, genauer gesagt, den Kronprinzen, der beide letztlich wie Schachfiguren in seinem Spiel benutzt hat.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Ich sah nur zu deutlich, dass einem schlechten Schachspieler leicht eine Figur genommen und die andere dafür hingesetzt werden kann.   MUSIKAKZENT    ERZÄHLERIN Über Gärtners Karriereleiter sind wir Sprosse um Sprosse relativ gut informiert. Denn mehr als 30 Jahre lang schreibt er Briefe, an Martin von Wagner. -    7. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Nun: der Martin von Wagner war eigentlich der Kunsthändler des Kronprinzen in Rom.   ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner ist der Freund von Friedrichs Vater, dem Hofbauintendanten Andreas Gärtner. Und auch wenn die Mutter Bedenken gegenüber Wagner äußert, Friedrich beschwichtigt:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Deine Warnung, gute Muttern über Wagner ist recht gut, allein sei versichert, sie war nicht nötig. So kenne ich meine Leute noch. Wagner ist ein guter, ernsthaft rechtschaffener Mann, allein nie für einen Freund geschaffen.   ERZÄHLERIN Friedrich Gärtner und Wagner werden trotzdem Freunde, gute Freunde. Netter Nebeneffekt für Gärtner: Wagner hat einen sehr guten Draht zum Kronprinzen. - Gärtner macht in seinen Briefen aus seinem Herzen keine Mördergrube. Winfried Nerdinger:   8. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Ich glaube auch, dass man natürlich mit gewissen Abstrichen diesen Briefwechsel als ziemlich wichtige authentische Aussage nehmen kann, weil er sich da einem Freund geöffnet hat - Wir können da doch relativ tiefe Einblick in das Gefühlsleben Gärtners tun und in das Intrigenspiel bei Hofe.   ERZÄHLERIN Über 100 Mal wird die Post von Gärtner die Zeiten überdauern, die Post von Wagner retour dagegen nicht. - Kennen gelernt haben sich die beiden in Rom. -   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Rom ist nebenbei gesagt der herrlichste Ort, um einem als Mensch die besten Lebensregeln zu erteilen!   MUSIK  ERZÄHLERIN Im Oktober 1814 kommt Gärtner nach Rom. Nach seinem Architekturstudium in München bei Carl von Fischer, nach Lehrjahren in Paris, zieht der 22-Jährige in die deutsche Künstlerkolonie. "Quartiere degli Infedeli", "Viertel der Abtrünnigen", nennen es die Römer, wegen der vielen deutschen Protestanten. Der Katholik Gärtner kennt bald alle Trattorien und Weinstuben rund um seine Wohnung in der Via Sistina, nahe der spanischen Treppe. Jetzt will er wieder lernen, dieses Mal aber das Leben: MUSIK    ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der Durst war groß, der Wein war gut und so wurde allgemeiner Jubel unter der Gesellschaft. Eine Gitarre, die uns begleitete, spielte bald ihren Saltarello, bald ihren Walzer...   ERZÄHLERIN Martin von Wagner nimmt Friedrich in seine Obhut, im Auftrag von Andreas Gärtner, dessen Vater. Er zeigt ihm die mediterrane Lebensart, er bringt ihn in die Kreise der Rom-liebenden deutschen Künstler. Die feiern sich und "ihren" bayerischen Kronprinzen, den Kunstmäzen, am liebsten im Caffè Greco - keine zwei Minuten von der Wohnung Gärtners entfernt. Hier treffen sich auch die Mitglieder eines von Martin von Wagner initiierten Geheimbundes: "Nemesis" heißt er : MUSIK    9. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Diese Künstler haben sich die Nemesianer genannt. - Die Nemesis als ihre Göttin, die dem einzelnen das Geschick zuweist, dem einen das Gute, dem anderen das schlechte. So etwas, was für Künstler ja ganz wichtig ist: Der eine steigt auf, der andere steigt ab...   ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis gibt sich zunächst wankelmütige, was das Schicksal des jungen Friedrich betrifft. Der "Orlando furioso", wie ihn seine Freunde jetzt rufen, genießt zwar in Rom das süße Leben in vollen Zügen, ganz untätig ist er freilich nicht. Er zeichnet etliche antike Ruinen, fährt nach Pompeji und Sizilien, besteigt die Vulkane Italiens. Und er beteiligt sich - auf sanftes Drängen seines Vaters -  am Wettbewerb zum Bau der Münchner Glyptothek. Mit Hilfe seines Vaters, der die Pläne ein wenig korrigiert und nachbessert, wird sein Entwurf vom Preisgericht als der für den Bau geeignetste befunden. Den Auftrag bekommt, allem zu Trotz, wie kann es anders sein, Leo Klenze.    MUSIK    ZITATOR GÄRTNER Thermometer 5 Grad Beaumont - Pluvianopolis am 12ten des 8. Regenmonats 1817 nach Christi Geburt - Parameter (wie gewöhnlich): Regen, Hagel, Wind.   ERZÄHLERIN Gärtner ist nach fast drei Jahren Sommer, Sonne, Kaktus wieder in München. In Pluvianopolis, der Regenstadt. Er schreibt an Wagner nach Rom:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Der ewigen Nemesis zum Gruße! Ohne Nachrichten aus Rom bin ich ein geschlagener Mensch. Oh große Nemesis! Was habe ich verschuldet, dass du gerade jetzt mich ins Exil geschickt, wo ich dickes Bier um 12 Uhr saufen muss. MUSIK    ERZÄHLERIN Nemesis meint es tatsächlich nicht gut mit ihm. Nicht nur dickes Bier und saurer Wein schlagen ihm auf den Magen: In München, im Exil, findet er keine adäquate Anstellung, obwohl sein Vater immer noch königlich bayerischer Hofbauintendant ist, also de facto der oberste Baumeister. Und er würde so gerne in dessen Fußstapfen treten.   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Es ist traurig, wenn  man mehrere Jahre sich bemüht, um etwas zu lernen und am Ende wieder dort hingestellt ist, von wo man ausgegangen. Seit meiner Zurückkunft sitze ich da und lege die Hände in den Schoß.   ERZÄHLERIN 26 Jahre ist Gärtner mittlerweile. Er sehnt sich nach Rom. Hier im kalten Norden, in München: -  "Ein Windloch". Die Mutter stirbt. Er fühlt sich dazu verpflichtet, die Familie finanziell zu unterstützen, lebt aber im Gegenteil vom Geld des Vaters. Und dann auch noch das:   ZITATOR GÄRTNER Mit unverändertem Gemüte durchlas ich heute die Entlassung meines alten und würdigen Vaters von seinem treuen Dienste und dessen Erstattung durch Klenze mit einer vermehrten Besoldung von 3000 fl.   10. ZUSPIELUNG (Nerdinger) Aus den Briefen, die er an seinen Freund Martin von Wagner schrieb, kommt ganz klar heraus, dass diese Verdrängung seines Vaters als Hofbauintend

Der Tag in 2 Minuten hält Sie mit wichtigen Meldungen auf dem Laufenden, immer Montags bis Freitags. Hier die heutigen Themen: Griff in die Beamtenkasse Im kommenden Jahr möchte Schleswig-Holstein 300 Millionen Euro aus dem Versorgungsfonds für Beamte entnehmen. Damit soll das Haushaltsdefizit gemildert werden. Die Kritik ist groß. Beate Raudies, finanzpolitische Sprecherin der SPD, nannte die Maßnahme einen „Raubzug“. Die Schwarz-Grüne Regierung verteidigte den Schritt. Die Entnahme habe keinen Einfluss auf die künftigen Versorgungsbezüge. Fluchtweg nach Deutschland Rund 8.000 in Griechenland anerkannte Flüchtlinge sind zwischen Januar und Mai nach Deutschland weitergereist – und haben hier erneut Asyl beantragt. Viele reisten per Flugzeug an. Die Einreise ist laut Schengener Grenzkodex erlaubt: Schutzberechtigte dürfen sich bis zu 90 Tage im Schengenraum aufhalten. Ein weiterer Asylantrag ist jedoch nicht zulässig. Die Polizei kritisiert die mangelnden Kontrollen an den Flughäfen. China-EU-Gipfel Ursula von der Leyen traf sich heute in China mit Staatschef Xi Jinping. Es ging vor allem um fairen Handel. Die Beziehungen beider Staaten sind angespannt – auch wegen Chinas Unterstützung für Russland. Zuvor kritisierte von der Leyen, dass Peking weite Teile der Lieferketten für Seltene Erden kontrolliert. Flugzeugabsturz in Sibirien Im Osten Russlands ist in der Region Amur ein Passagierflugzeug abgestürzt. An Bord waren rund 50 Menschen. Es gibt keine Überlebenden. Die Antonov-Maschine gehört der russischen Fluggesellschaft Angara Airlines und war gut 50 Jahre alt. Die Absturzstelle ist schwer erreichbar. Mittlerweile ist ein Bodentrupp des Katastrophenschutzes vor Ort. „Blitzsteuer“ Laut einer Studie der TU München sterben weltweit jedes Jahr über 300 Millionen Bäume durch Blitze – entweder direkt oder durch ausgelöste Waldbrände. Dadurch sollen erhebliche CO₂-Emissionen entstehen, die bislang in vielen Klimamodellen kaum berücksichtigt worden sind. Das soll sich nun ändern. In sozialen Netzwerken sorgt die Studie für hitzige Diskussionen – dort ist sogar von einer „Blitzsteuer“ die Rede.

Maran writes in Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 4) that one must ensure not to touch a vat of beer in the morning before washing Netilat Yadayim, as doing so could cause one to lose the beer. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan, 1839-1933) explains that since there is Tum'a (impurity) on one's hands when he wakes up in the morning, touching food can cause it to become Tameh, which can have detrimental effects. One must therefore avoid touching food before washing his hands in the morning. The Halachic authorities write that if one did touch food before washing his hands in the morning, he should put it under water three times, and then it may be eaten. This applies even to vegetables that one normally peels, like cucumbers. Despite the fact that one touched only the peel, which in any event will be removed, the vegetable must be rinsed three times before it is eaten. Some writers raised the question of why this method of eliminating Tum'a does not work in the case of garlic that was left without its peel overnight. The garlic in this case should not be eaten, as it contracts Tum'a overnight, and the Poskim do not offer the solution of rinsing the garlic the three times. The work Arsot Haim explains that one cannot compare different forms of Tum'a and evil spirits. A method that is effective for eliminating one kind of Tum'a is not necessarily effective with regard to a different kind, and thus although a food that has been touched before Netilat Yadayim may be rinsed and eaten, this solution cannot be used in the case of garlic that had been left overnight without its peel. The Mishna Berura writes that one should also refrain from smelling tobacco snuff before washing Netilat Yadayim in the morning, for two reasons: 1) he causes the snuff to become Tameh by touching it; 2) smelling snuff involves touching the nostril, and it is forbidden to touch the openings of one's body before washing Netilat Yadayim. Summary: One should ensure not to touch any food or drink before washing his hands in the morning. If he did touch food before washing his hands, he should wash it three times and it may then be eaten.
