Full Text of ReadingsFeast of the Transfiguration of the Lord Lectionary: 614The Saint of the day is Transfiguration of the LordThe Story of the Transfiguration of the Lord All three Synoptic Gospels tell the story of the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-9; Luke 9:28-36). With remarkable agreement, all three place the event shortly after Peter's confession of faith that Jesus is the Messiah and Jesus' first prediction of his passion and death. Peter's eagerness to erect tents or booths on the spot suggests it occurred during the week-long Jewish Feast of Booths in the fall. According to Scripture scholars, in spite of the texts' agreement it is difficult to reconstruct the disciples' experience, because the Gospels draw heavily on Old Testament descriptions of the Sinai encounter with God, and prophetic visions of the Son of Man. Certainly Peter, James, and John had a glimpse of Jesus' divinity strong enough to strike fear into their hearts. Such an experience defies description, so they drew on familiar religious language to describe it. And certainly Jesus warned them that his glory and his suffering were to be inextricably connected—a theme John highlights throughout his Gospel. Tradition names Mount Tabor as the site of the revelation. A church first raised there in the fourth century was dedicated on August 6. A feast in honor of the Transfiguration was celebrated in the Eastern Church from about that time. Western observance began in some localities about the eighth century. On July 22, 1456, Crusaders defeated the Turks at Belgrade. News of the victory reached Rome on August 6, and Pope Callistus III placed the feast on the Roman calendar the following year. Reflection One of the Transfiguration accounts is read on the second Sunday of Lent each year, proclaiming Christ's divinity to the Elect and baptized alike. The Gospel for the first Sunday of Lent, by contrast, is the story of the temptation in the desert—affirmation of Jesus' humanity. The two distinct but inseparable natures of the Lord were a subject of much theological argument at the beginning of the Church's history; it remains hard for believers to grasp.

This week's special guest host is a club legend, four-in-a-row and FAI Cup winning captain Ronan Finn, who is in his second season at UCD to pursue a Master's Degree in Sports Management. Finner helps review a boring St Joseph's game, which his daughter enjoyed at least, and a big win over Derry in Tallaght on Sunday that put Rovers 10 points clear. We look ahead to Thursday's tie with Kosovo Football expert Eljon, and potentially a trip to Portugal where Ronan made his European debut with Sporting Fingal in 2010, and also nearly cost Rovers the title that season. We reminisce about Belgrade and White Hart Lane, his League of Ireland debut for the college in 2005 and scoring against the Hoops as a teenager. Ronan talks his long wait for a first European goal, Pico taking the armband and equalling his European appearance record, Rory Gaffney's greatness, Burkey's fitness, the gaffer's half-time team talks and "the turn" when results haven't yet come. We discuss his relationship with Stephen Bradley and the senior leadership group within the squad, winning the Cup and lifting the league trophy with young Josh, and making the move from centre-mid to right-wing back, all the way up to his last goal for Rovers against Bohs in front of the south stand and the difficult decision to leave the club. There's also a chat about the dip in crowds this summer, extending the league season, doing punditry for our Conference League Phase games on TV last season, his ambitions in football after he retires, and, of course, fishing.

A bonus episode with Con Murphy reading a piece on Kosovan football during the Yugoslav war, James Moor talking about his book 'Grobar', in which he spent the 2011/12 season following FK Partizan home and away, including Rovers' famous night in Belgrade, and a re-airing of our Mick Kearin interview from 2021, after Jim Conroy pays tribute to 'Tiger', his favourite player growing up.

Trump is building luxury apartments on the site of a NATO bombing in Belgrade that many had seen as a memorial to the Yugoslav war. Beyond the obvious corruption, is there a deeper symbolism? Substack author Jason Egenberg joins Thom for a deep dive.Plus- Thom reads from Micheal Cohen's book 'Revenge', and from 'Big Dirty Money' by Jennifer Taub.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

crowd.Sr: Бринуо се за своју сестру Јелену.En: He was worried about his sister Jelena.Sr: Јелена је била несташна девојчица која је волела да се изгуби у сопственом свету.En: Jelena was a mischievous

Vladimir was aware of all the gossip at the festival.Sr: „Владимире,“ поче Никола, „да ли си видео моју сестру?En: "Vladimire," Nikola began, "have you seen my sister?"Sr: “Владимир се насмеши

grandfather had worn.Sr: Иако је био важан, без Јелене тај сат није вредео ништа.En: Although it was important, without Jelena that watch was worth nothing.Sr: „Имам сат,“ рече Никола тромо, док је скидaо сат с руке.En: "I have a watch," Nikola said reluctantly, as he removed the watch from his wrist.Sr: Владимир је одмах живнуо.En: Vladimir immediately perked up.Sr: „Добро, видео сам је код старих зидина код затвореног дела“, рекао је Владимир и узео сат.En: "Alright, I saw her by the old walls near the closed-off area," Vladimir said and took the watch.Sr: Трчећи, Никола је кренуо ка

emptiness in her eyes was quickly replaced by relief when she saw him.Sr: Трчећи према њему, пресретна је загрлила брата.En: Running towards him, she joyfully hugged her brother.Sr: „Извини, Никола“, рече Јелена.En: "Sorry, Nikola," said Jelena.Sr: „Нисам схватила колико сам се удаљила.En: "I didn't realize how far I'd wandered."Sr: “„Од сада остајемо заједно,“ одговори Никола.En: "From now on,

In 2019, a woman was spotted dancing on the street in Belgrade, Serbia. Rumors spread about her carrying a knife and chasing people, and bystanders were warned not to look her in the eye. Then in 2022, the video was shared on TikTok and it started an entire new type of digital lore, one that terrified those of us who believed we might encounter her out at night. She became known as The Serbian Dancing Lady, and I was surprised to find out that she was actually real.You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send?

This week, we take you back to the final years of Yugoslavia, a country that exploded into one of the bloodiest wars Europe has seen since WWII. We trace how ethnic tensions, decades of suppressed rivalries, and opportunistic leaders tore the region apart, while Europe watched on, paralysed. We explore how the Serb army launched brutal assaults across Croatia and Bosnia, committing acts of ethnic cleansing that left over 100,000 Bosnians dead, often at the hands of their own neighbours. For years, the West hesitated. But after a dramatic shift in Washington, the U.S. stepped in, arming the Croats, launching air strikes, and ultimately brokering the Dayton Accords to end the war. In this episode, we follow the story from Vukovar to Sarajevo, from Belgrade backroom deals to Clinton's White House. We explain how Croatia won the war but lost nearly a million people to emigration, how Serbia suffered the worst hyperinflation ever recorded, and how Slovenia quietly became the EU's success story, set to overtake the UK in GDP per capita within five years. We also reflect on the strange persistence of empire: Russia still backs Serbia, Turkey stands with Bosnia, and the West never really forgot its favourites. Hosted on Acast.

Kelefa Sanneh was born in England, and lived in Ghana and Scotland before moving with his parents to the United States in the early 1980s. He was a pop music critic at the New York Times from 2000-2008, and has been a staff writer at the New Yorker since then. His first book, just released on Penguin, is called Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres. The book refracts the entire history of popular music over the past fifty years through the big genres that have defined and dominated it—rock, R&B, country, punk, hip-hop, dance music, and pop—as an art form (actually, a bunch of art forms), as a cultural and economic force, and as a tool that we use to build our identities. Sanneh shows how these genres have been defined by the tension between mainstream and outsider, between authenticity and phoniness, between good and bad, right and wrong. Throughout, race is a powerful touchstone: just as there have always been Black audiences and white audiences, with more or less overlap depending on the moment, there has been Black music and white music, constantly mixing and separating. Sanneh debunks cherished myths, reappraises beloved heroes, and upends familiar ideas of musical greatness, arguing that sometimes, the best popular music isn't transcendent. Songs express our grudges as well as our hopes, and they are motivated by greed as well as idealism; music is a powerful tool for human connection, but also for human antagonism. This is a book about the music everyone loves, the music everyone hates, and the decades-long argument over which is which. Franz Nicolay is a musician and writer living in New York's Hudson Valley. His first book, The Humorless Ladies of Border Control: Touring the Punk Underground from Belgrade to Ulaanbaatar, was named a "Season's Best Travel Book" by The New York Times. Buzzfeed called his second book, Someone Should Pay for Your Pain, "a knockout fiction debut." He teaches at Bard College. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nenad Zimonjic was summoned to the Djokovic camp before Monte Carlo in 2024, and was on his bag when he won his Olympic gold in Paris, but that's just a portion of Nenad's incredible story. Born and raised in Belgrade, Nenad was saddled with a worthless passport because of war, that hindered his pro tennis career considerably. He persevered, and became the best doubles player in the world winning 8 majors and 54 tournaments, a Serbian Davis Cupper, a mentor to the younger Serbs Djokovic and Tipsarevic, and all in all lived an incredible life in tennis. Nenad and I chatted shortly after Novak defeated Alex de Minaur at Wimbledon, and it was a tremendous chat.

Осећам се као да немамо породицу више," одговорио је Милан, срце му је куцало снажно.En: "I miss you, Jovana. I feel like we don't have a family anymore," replied Milan, his heart beating strongly.Sr: "Мислиш или осећаш?" упитала је са сумњом, стиснувши прсте око шољице кафе.En: "Do you think or feel that?" she asked with suspicion, clenching her fingers around the coffee cup.Sr: "Заиста осећам," Милан је рекао искрено.En: "I truly feel it," Milan said sincerely.Sr: "Био сам сам откад родитеља нема. Желим да се све мање-разлике исправе."En: "I've been alone since our parents passed. I want to resolve all the little differences."Sr: Ћутање је завладало, али у том тренутку, било је сјаја у Јованиним очима.En: Silence prevailed, but in that moment, there was a glimmer in Jovana's eyes.Sr: Можда је и она осећала део тог губитка.En: Perhaps she, too, felt part of that loss.Sr: "Има нешто што те нисам никад питала," рекла је, дубоко удахнувши.En: "There's something I've never asked you," she said, taking a deep breath.Sr: Прича о давној расправи између њих двоје почела је полако да се одвија.En: The story of an old argument between the two of them began to unfold slowly.Sr: Свака реч је била попут комадића који недостаје у сложеној слагалици.En: Each word was like a missing piece in a complex puzzle.Sr: Милан је био изненађен.En: Milan was surprised.Sr: Неспоразум који га никад није знао да га мучи.En: A misunderstanding he hadn't known was troubling him.Sr: Али сада, са овом истином, његова жеља за обнављањем породичних веза постала је још јача.En: But now, with this truth, his desire to restore family ties became even stronger.Sr: "Не знам зашто сам те држала далеко," рекла је Јована тихо, гледајући у своје руке.En: "I don't know why I kept you at a distance," Jovana said quietly, looking at her hands.Sr: "Сви смо погрешно схватили," сложио се Милан, одлучан да поправи све.En: "We all misunderstood," agreed Milan, determined to make things right.Sr: Како је разговор одмицао, обоје су схватили да су им недостајали једно другом.En: As the conversation progressed, both realized they had missed each other.Sr: Прихватили су губитак родитеља и почели прихватати своје грешке.En: They accepted the loss of their parents and began to accept their own mistakes.Sr: На крају, Милан и Јована су се сложили да крену напред, а она је обећала да ће бити део породичног окупљања.En: In the end, Milan and Jovana agreed to move forward, and she promised to be part of the family gathering.Sr: Заједно су изашли из пржионе, обећавајући да ће радити на обнови односа.En: Together, they left the roastery, promising to work on rebuilding their relationship.Sr: Београдски летњи дан био је светао, баш као њихова новооткривена нада за будућност.En: The Belgrade summer day was bright, just like their newfound hope for the future.

My guest today is Vojkan Brankovic, founder of Apeiron, a principal investment firm that is shaping the future of sustainable real estate investment. Founded in 2013, Apeiron has established itself as a leader in high-impact real asset opportunities, specializing in logistics real estate across Europe.With over 30 years of investment management experience, Vojkan has positioned Apeiron at the forefront of logistics real estate investment, currently managing a portfolio of 500,000 square meters across strategic German locations spanning the full value chain from opportunistic and value-add to core+ strategies.Vojkan's journey into real estate began far from the world of buildings and investments, with his early years spent between Sweden and Belgrade, Serbia, followed by time in the UK. This upbringing shaped much of his entrepreneurial mindset and leadership style.Growing up in these diverse cultures gave him an early understanding of adaptability and collaboration, 2 key factors that would later influence how he built Apeiron. It was this exposure to different ways of thinking, working, and leading that laid the foundation for his approach to business.While his background had always been in business and finance, he found his true passion in real estate. He saw it not just as a way to generate financial returns, but as an opportunity to make a positive environmental impact.This vision was rooted in the recognition that the real estate sector, particularly logistics, was one of the largest contributors to global carbon emissions. But it was also where he saw the greatest potential for change.What sets Vojkan apart is how he's using real estate as a way to do good while making money. For him, it's about transforming inefficient buildings into assets that serve a greater purpose.His vision for sustainable, technology-enabled logistics infrastructure has attracted partnerships with leading institutional investors from Korea and the Middle East, demonstrating the global appeal of Apeiron's differentiated investment approach.One of the interesting features of Apeiron is its lean approach to business. While many firms in the real estate investment space operate with large teams and complex structures, Apeiron keeps things simple and efficient. With just 5 people in its team, the firm can make quick strategy decisions and stay nimble in an industry that's often slow to change.Through Apeiron, Vojkan is demonstrating that real estate doesn't just have to be about buildings and profits—it can be about purpose, too.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:

Planes scooping water from lakes. Crews flying into firestorms. Mechanics maintaining aircraft in warzone-like conditions.  It sounds like a military operation, because in many ways, it is. As wildfires grow more frequent, more destructive, and more deadly, the national spotlight is turning to one of the most critical and overlooked fronts in disaster response: aerial firefighting.  Events like the Lahaina fire and the Palisades blaze have shown just how high the stakes are and how essential rapid, airborne intervention has become in saving lives, homes, and ecosystems. Bridger Aerospace sits at the center of this transformation. With a mission rooted in military discipline and public service, the company combines aviation, emergency response, and cutting-edge technology in a way few others can. In this episode, I'm joined by Sam Davis, CEO of Bridger Aerospace, operator of the largest private fleet of CL-415 “Super Scoopers” in the U.S.  Sam opens up about what it's really like to run a year-round, 200-person aviation operation with aircraft flying low over burning terrain across the country.  From supply chain crunches to political backlash, it's a raw look inside one of the most demanding jobs in aviation today. We also talk about how Bridger Aerospace is pioneering wildfire response using military-grade sensors, early detection aircraft, and a culture of service that rivals special ops. You'll learn: Why aerial firefighting is one of the most complex aviation operations in the U.S.  How Bridger balances safety, inventory, and downtime in remote environments  What it takes to recruit and train elite pilots for low-altitude wildfire missions  Why sensors, software, and year-round deployments are the future of firefighting  How culture, passion, and purpose drive performance in high-risk settings  The role of private enterprise in strengthening America's wildfire defense    Guest Bio Sam Davis is the CEO of Bridger Aerospace. Bridger Aerospace is an aerial firefighting and aerospace services company based in Belgrade, Montana, located at the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (KBZN). It was founded in 2014 to support frontline firefighters with world-leading technology and aerial fire suppression systems. Since its inception, the company has grown from operating a single plane to commanding a significant Air Attack fleet, the most modern fire imaging and surveillance aircraft, and the world's largest private Super Scooper fleet. Sam is integral in facilitating revenue growth, implementing operational efficiency, and executing strategic initiatives to expand services and global footprint.

Over on the Patreon feed we did a bonus episode covering the debate around private equity in festivals, of which there will be a second part this week. There will be a solo podcast covering all that on the main feed in the next couple of weeks but in the meantime we wanted to return to one of the absolute best episodes we've done, one which covered many of the wider themes that have come to the forefront of the discussion recently, from all the way back in March 2023.Tijana T is a DJ from Serbia. She's been involved in the scene in Belgrade one way or another since the 90s, a period which for obvious reasons was extremely fraught across the whole region. The discussion covers her wider career, but we spend a lot of time discussing the effect that conflict has on art, and on artists. From a position of direct experience, Tijana speaks with real insight on these topics.Covering this sort of thing is difficult. Not least because we get blocked from promoting our videos on Youtube when certain topics are even mention. But this is the important stuff that's happening in culture right now, and while tackling anything of it with a degree of nuance is a serious challenge, it's one that we enjoy on this show. Even if you listened to this episode the first time round we highly recommend giving it another spin. It's highly relevant to what is going on today. --If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

"He was one of the greatest men of Serbia who ruled the kingdom after king Dušan. Upon the death of King Uroš, Lazar was crowned King of Serbia by Patriarch Ephraim. He sent a delegation to Constantinople, including a monk called Isaiah, to plead for the removing of the anathema from the Serbian people. He went to war on several occasions against the Turkish Pasha, finally clashing with the Turkish king, Amurât, at Kosovo on June 15, 1389, being slain there. His body was taken to Ravanica near Cupria, a foundation of his, and buried there, but was later taken to New Ravanica in Srem. During the Second World War, in 1942, it was taken to Belgrade and placed in the Cathedral, where it is preserved to this day and offers comfort and healing to all who turn to him in prayer. He restored Hilandar and Gornjak, built Ravanica and the Lazarica in Kruševac and was the founder of St Panteleimon, the Russian monastery on the Holy Mountain, as well as numerous other churches and monasteries."

Today we have Jenny. She is 53 yeas old from Belgrade, MT and took her last drink on August 25th, 2015.   This episode brought to you by Better Help – 10% off of your first month   Exact Nature use code RE20 to save 20% off your order     The message that alcohol is good for you is outdated. Paul shares an article from GQ that was released shortly after the World Health Organization declared that no amount of alcohol is safe for you.   WELCOME to all our new listeners to the RE podcast!   [03:56] Thoughts from Paul:   In the interviews on this podcast, you've heard the word nature probably hundreds of times as a powerful tool to help overcome an addiction.   Today Paul shares with us a specific free tool that can enhance your experience in nature: the Merlin bird app.   There is science behind how birding can help you heal. Listening to birds reduces cortisol, slows your heart rate and triggers the parasympathetic nervous system which calms us.   The opposite of addiction is connection, and Paul shares that he feels a connection to some of his local birds. He encourages us to give birds a chance as they have the capacity to take our connection to nature to the next level.   [08:03] Paul introduces Jenny:   Jenny was originally a guest on episode 86.   Jenny lives in Belgrade, MT and says teaching fitness classes is her passion. She enjoys music, her chickens, playing golf and pickleball, and loves concerts and comedy as well.   Jenny had her first drink when she was just nine years old. Her parents drank socially and any time there was a party at their house, she and her brother or friends would sneak alcohol. In high school, she and her friends didn't participate in activities, so they just drank and dabbled with marijuana and hallucinogens.   Jenny moved from Helena to Bozeman to attend college and it was then when the drinking and drug use ramped up. While working in a restaurant, Jenny says drinking after work was common, and she was later introduced to harder drugs which she used for several years.   Jenny quit the harder drugs but drinking remained. It ebbed and flowed after she got married and had kids. Her drinking escalated when her husband became a firefighter and would work very long shifts. This time was stressful for Jenny with multiple young children and battling postpartum anxiety. Over time Jenny would start drinking earlier in the day but felt she was very high functioning therefore didn't see her drinking as a problem.   Jenny began to realize that her drinking was becoming an issue, but no one said anything to her, so she decided to quit on her own without telling anyone. She didn't attend AA and just used exercise and podcasts to help her quit. It took a bit for others to notice, but she was confident in her decision in spite of them insisting that she didn't have a problem.   In 2016, Jenny learned she had stage 2 breast cancer. She says that it was aggressively treated and once in remission, she didn't know what to do with herself. She started running half marathons and decided to use her degree in exercise and wellness and started teaching exercise classes which she loves.   Recently, Jenny and her husband hit a rough patch, and they have been attending counseling. Their counselor told Jenny they thought she might be a dry drunk and suggested she start the AA program. Jenny says she needed to hear that and has recently began going to AA and has gotten a sponsor who she is about to tackle step work with. Jenny also has learned that she suffers from several different disorders that have given her a lot of “a-ha” moments about who she is.   Jenny shares her journey with the world now. She believes being our authentic selves is most important. Jenny has learned that she needs to protect her mental health and her sobriety above all.   Jenny's parting piece of guidance: listen to that inner voice.   Recovery Elevator We took the elevator down, we gotta take the stairs back up.

Serbia's citizens have been protesting for over six months, taking part in demonstrations around the country in reaction to their government's alleged corruption. Though the country's president, Aleksandar Vučić, has attempted to appease them, the movement shows no sign of slowing down.Situated in the Western Balkans, Serbia has had a long history of conflict; from the Ottoman Empire to the dissolution of Yugoslavia, but the ongoing civil unrest comes at a crossroads moment for President Vučić. Serbia is awaiting approval to join the European Union yet remains closely tied with the Kremlin.As the Serbian government seeks to solidify its place in the world, protestors continue their calls for transparency and accountability. This week on The Inquiry we ask “Will Serbia's mass protests unseat the president?”Contributors: Gordana Andric, Executive Editor at Balkan Investigative Reporting Network, Belgrade, Serbia Dr. Andi Hoxhaj OBE, Lecturer in Law and the Director of the European Law LLM pathway programme, King's College, London Ivana Randelovic, Senior Programme Officer for Europe at Civil Rights Defenders, Belgrade, Serbia Dr. Helena Ivanov, Associate Research Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, Belgrade, SerbiaPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Daniel Rosney Researcher: Maeve Schaffer Editor: Tara McDermott Technical Producer: James Bradshaw Production Management Assistant: Liam MorreyImage credit: Srdjan Stevanovic via Getty Images
