פרק ראשון מתכנית הרדיו שלי "שמיים פתוחים" ששודרה ברדיו קול הכנרת. 
שמיים פתוחים היתה תכנית על מוזיקה ועל המסעות שלי ברחבי העולם בתור נוודת מעל עשור.
למרות שהתכנית מיועדת לדוברי עברית שוטפת, אני חושבת שמי שנמצא ברמה בינונית ומעלה, יוכל להנות מהפרקים.

כל שבוע בחרתי נושא אחר וממנו בחרתי את השירים. ובפרק הזה הנושא הוא- אביב
השירים רובם באנגלית או בשפות אחרות. לפעמים  גם עברית חחח

כל שבוע סיפרתי על הרפתקאה אחרת שקרתה לי. כל שבוע סיפור חדש וארץ חדשה. 
בפרק הזה אספר על המדינה קובה.

למי שמתקשה- יש לי את כל הטקסטים כתובים ואשמח לשלוח לכם כדי שתאזינו ותקראו באותו זמן. בהצלחה
אני מקווה שתהנו, כי אני מאוד נהניתי לשדר.

Learn some words with Chinese animation

In many of the world's richer countries, young adults feel they can't afford to start a family. They also see the idea of buying a house as an impossible dream.

So, they're going on holiday instead!

And Elizabeth Currid-Halkett from the University of Southern California told CNN that young people are happy to take on some debt to go on a trip.

That's because it feels like a very small amount of debt compared to the cost of college or a house.

In fact, a May 2024 survey by US money website WalletHub found that two out of five Americans agree: they think it's worth going into debt to be able to have a good vacation.

Some call it "doom spending" — spending money on short-term pleasure, not saving it for something bigger in the future.

People point to the fact that house prices have increased much faster than wages, and so young adults today feel that saving for a home isn't realistic.

They feel the money would be better spent on a nice vacation.

There are also airlines that let customers book a flight but pay for it later, something that may appeal to these younger travelers.

However, experts say doom spending is a risky way to use your money, especially if it becomes a habit.

Money expert Louise Hill told Sky News that spending on short-term pleasure also makes it even harder to save for big things in life like a house or a family.

She said: "By the time you've saved enough for it, think about whether you still really want it."

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU)

El Herbario Nacional de México (MEXU) custodia la colección más importante de plantas mexicanas. Con más de 1 300 000 ejemplares es el herbario más grande del país y América Latina; se encuentra entre uno de los diez herbarios más activos del mundo.

Esta colección es un logro de numerosas generaciones de botánicos y exploradores nacionales y extranjeros. Su historia se remonta a finales del siglo XIX cuando surge el Instituto Médico Nacional en 1888, como la institución oficial encargada de integrar los conocimientos sobre los recursos naturales. Hacia 1915 el herbario se consolidó e impulsó al reunirse las colecciones nacionales de plantas como parte de la Dirección de Estudios Biológicos. En 1929 la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, a través del Instituto de Biología, adquiere la custodia del herbario en donde el trabajo y la visión de sus administradores, científicos de talla mundial, han logrado mantener activa la colección dotándola de la infraestructura necesaria para su crecimiento, preservación y uso por la comunidad científica.

Las colecciones continuamente se incrementan con las colectas del personal académico asociado al herbario, por el programa de intercambio de especimenes con otras instituciones y por donaciones. Además, el herbario tiene su propio programa de crecimiento en áreas prioritarias y distribuye los duplicados a otros herbarios a través del intercambio. El acervo está disponible a través del programa de préstamos, lo que permite que la colección se actualice de acuerdo a los cambios taxonómicos.
