Story Transcript:Sr: Зима је била сурова те године, а централна полицијска станица у Београду пуцала је под теретом гужве.En: The winter was harsh that year, and the central police station in Beograd was bursting under the weight of the crowd.Sr: Ваздух је био сиров и мучан од ваге зимских капута и влажних ципела.En: The air was raw and oppressive from the burden of winter coats and wet shoes.Sr: Главна хала, устаљена и изношена, била је препуна људи који стрпљиво чекају на дрвеним столицама.En: The main hall, settled and worn, was full of people patiently waiting on wooden chairs.Sr: Милан је стајао, леда правог као свећа, због напора да сачува своју унутрашњу стабилност и светску рутину од било каквих узнемирености.En: Milan stood, his back straight as a candle, straining to maintain his inner stability and worldly routine against any disruptions.Sr: Сав труд му је био усмерен на једно: како да најбрже и најбезбедније пријави изгубљени новчаник.En: All his efforts were directed at one thing: how to report a lost wallet as quickly and safely as possible.Sr: Иза пулта, полицајац Вук је покушавао да одржи ред, али гомила папира на његовом столу и прастар систем му нису олакшавали посао.En: Behind the counter, Officer Vuk was trying to maintain order, but the pile of paper on his desk and the outdated system were not making his job easier.Sr: Његова жеља да помогне свакоме ко уђе на врата била је јака, али правила и процедура биле су му стални непријатељи.En: His desire to help everyone who walked through the door was strong, but rules and procedures were his constant foes.Sr: Јелена, млада и одлучна, управо је улазила у станицу.En: Jelena, young and determined, was just entering the station.Sr: Њена поетска правда вукла ју је кроз живот, а недавни животни удар је само учинио да више жели да учини нешто значајно.En: Her poetic sense of justice drove her through life, and a recent life blow only made her more eager to do something meaningful.Sr: Приметила је Милана како нервозно стоји и одмах се решила да му помогне.En: She noticed Milan standing nervously and immediately decided to help him.Sr: "Извините," обратила се љубазно Вуку док се пробијала кроз гомилу.En: "Excuse me," she kindly addressed Vuk as she made her way through the crowd.Sr: "Можете ли мало убрзати процес за овог господина?En: "Can you speed up the process for this gentleman?Sr: Веома је важно.En: It is very important."Sr: "Вук је уздахнуо, погледавши гомилу папира.En: Vuk sighed, glancing at the pile of papers.Sr: "Имамо много пријава данас, али потрудићу се.En: "We have a lot of reports today, but I'll try."Sr: "Јелена се насмешила и пришла Милану.En: Jelena smiled and approached Milan.Sr: "Само мало стрпљења.En: "Just a little patience.Sr: Покушаћемо да вам помогнемо.En: We'll try to help you."Sr: "И Милан, иначе уздржан, осетио је да више не може чекати.En: And Milan, usually reserved, felt he could no longer wait.Sr: "Молим вас," рекао је гласноји него што је намеравао, ударио је својим гласом као бритвом кроз зујање станице.En: "Please," he said louder than he intended, his voice cutting through the station's hum like a razor.Sr: "Морам да пријавим изгубљени новчаник.En: "I need to report a lost wallet."Sr: "У том моменту, Вук је видео Јеленино решено лице и одлучио да учини изузетак.En: At that moment, Vuk saw Jelena's determined face and decided to make an exception.Sr: "Донеси ми твоје податке, господине," рекао је Милану.En: "Bring me your details, sir," he said to Milan.Sr: "Почећемо одмах.En: "We'll start right away."Sr: "Јелена је пригнула главу и са осмехом посматрала како случај добија замах.En: Jelena nodded with a smile, watching as the situation gained momentum.Sr: Њена помоћ била је кључна, и док је Милан са олакшањем одлазио, захваљујући се топлим речима, Вук је себи обећао да ће уложити више напора у побољшање система који је толико љутао и њега и остале.En: Her help was crucial, and as Milan left with relief, thanking them with warm words, Vuk promised himself to put more effort into improving the system that frustrated him and others so much.Sr: Када је снежна мећава прошла, станица је постала прозор у нове могућности.En: When the snowstorm had passed, the station became a window to new opportunities.Sr: Милан је научио вредност храбрости и способности да затражиш оно што ти је потребно.En: Milan learned the value of courage and the ability to ask for what you need.Sr: Јелена је пронашла нови појам како њене акције могу довести до промене.En: Jelena discovered a new understanding of how her actions could lead to change.Sr: Вук је схватио да је љубазност оно што највише мотивише људе, и одлучио се да ту љубазност унесе у сваки корен свог рада.En: Vuk realized that kindness is what motivates people the most, and he decided to incorporate that kindness into every root of his work.Sr: Станица је била станица, али са људима као што су ови, никада није била само зграда.En: The station was a station, but with people like these, it was never just a building.Sr: Била је то жива мрежа наде и промене.En: It was a living network of hope and change.

Did you know the average age of a widow is 59? And there are eleven million widows in the United States with 1000 women becoming widowed every day?? This is a sobering topic none of us likes to think about, but the truth is, because it's so prevalent, we need to talk about it. Marilyn Nutter suddenly became a widow twelve years ago after 42 years of marriage and knows first-hand that widowhood is an uncomfortable the topic. But she also knows that there are many women out there, like herself, who are hurting and looking for resources to help. Because of this, she's written a book, Hope for Widows: Reflections on Mourning, Living and Change. She wrote it for two groups of people: widows and those who know and love widows. It's a valuable source of encouragement and comfort as widows adjust to their new normal and reimagine an active life with purpose in their future. She also gives practical tips on how to interact with widows in a way that lifts them up and provides much needed help. And she shares her secret to learning how to do things her husband used to take care of. We also talk a little about how to be better prepared if something does happen to your husband. Marilynn has acquired a lot of hard-earned wisdom over the last twelve years and wants to share that wisdom with you so that your load won't be quite as heavy to carry.

Ken Napzok (@KenNapzok) has a wonderful notion that we shouldn't fear change, but rather we should find our place within change. Ever since I first heart this, I loved it because of how much sense it made and how applicable it is—or at least if you want to stop being anxious and/or grumpy. Embracing this principle gives you agency over your own life and allows you to be joyous no matter what.

We're talking about April wisdom – not April fool's – on The Noble Man Podcast Episode 53 with Dr. Paul Chipman. Mental health isn't something most of us generally like to talk about, but most of us have struggled with negative thoughts to some degree. This episode is a must-listen, full of practical tips on recognizing those thoughts and bringing them into submission to the Word of God.  Dr. Chipman offers hope and resources as he discusses his journey from thoughts of despair and desperation to finding mental health. After a series of failures, he recognized that his identity was built on sinking sand. “I didn't guard my mind.” Even as a successful pastor, he had built his self-image and self-esteem on things he had accomplished. It wasn't until his worth and his work all came crashing down that he realized, “You'll never know that Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you got.” The seriousness of the issue had him contemplating suicide for the first time in his life. But God showed him ways to renew his mind and be transformed by memorizing and following scripture.  “It's about controlling your thoughts rather than your thoughts controlling you.”  “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” Romans 12:2  Dr. Paul's Tips:  Recognize the “Filthy 5” triggers: FURST. These thoughts are not of God, and we must replace them.  F – Fear of the future  U – Unhealthy comparison  R – Regrets of the past  S – self-condemning thoughts  T – Temptations    Check, Challenge, Change, Reframe:  Check - What kind of thought is it of the Filthy 5?

Chatting with fellow Life Coach and Personal Trainer Jodie B. She shares the story of her own transformative work which has allowed her to embrace herself fully and reveal her true feelings about herself to the world and to her clients. She always knew there was more to personal training than just the physical side but it was only more recently since undergoing training that she's felt more able to supply her clients with this too. I found this to be an incredible and deep discussion which opened up doors on how important having a deep understanding of why you're doing personal work is so vital to its success and how to support people who are having a hard - spoiler alert, it's not stacks of sympathy and how in fact that can just be infuriating. I think everyone will be able to take something away from this episode.

For most people, saving money isn't something they consider fun. In fact, some people consider saving money to be a sacrifice that takes away their ability to spend money on things they enjoy. That's why people tend to put off saving money instead of paying themselves first. But, the truth is, spending all of your money is not going to help you reach your financial goals. If you struggle with saving money, try some of the easy savings tricks we discuss in this episode. Make a List of Your Priorities If you're working on multiple financial goals, like paying off debt and saving money, or investing and saving money, it may be difficult to decide how to divvy up your money. When faced with this situation, many people opt to put off saving any money at all because they can't decide the best way to prioritize their goals. To beat this common problem, make a list of your priorities. Sit down and decide what is the most important think for you to accomplish first. Or, look at it as a trade-off. This trick can work especially well for impulse shoppers. Instead of immediately buying the item you want, take a minute to ask yourself if you'd rather spend the money on this item, or if you'd rather put your money toward your financial goal, like paying off debt, or even something else fun, like saving for an up-coming trip. Move Money into Savings Immediately Do you ever find yourself with a surplus of money in your account? Maybe you got an extra paycheck during a three paycheck month, or you sold some clutter from around your house. Instead of letting that money sit in your checking account or wallet, tempting you to spend it, move it into savings immediately. Natural spenders may feel inclined to wait until the end of the month "just in case", but if you really need the money back in your account for an unexpected expense, you can always transfer it back out of your savings account later. This way it's not as readily accessible for impulse purchases. Keep the Change Find out if your bank has a program that automatically transfers your "spare change" into your savings account when you use your debit card. Many banks offer this service and it can help you save a few extra dollars each month. If your bank doesn't offer this service, you can do it yourself if you spend mostly with cash. Instead of putting your coins back in your wallet when you make a purchase with cash, put it in a jar or other container in your home. When the container gets full, take it to your bank and deposit it in your savings account. Try a Savings Challenge Another great way to make saving money more fun is to participate in a savings challenge, like the 52 Weeks of Savings Challenge. Even if you don't make it all the way through a savings challenge, you'll still have a good chunk of money to put towards your savings goals. Find out about even more savings tricks in this week's podcast episode.

How did that get changed--do you ever get that question?  In this episode I talk with Brad McKuhen about how you would answer that and how you might need more than just enabling the auditing feature in SQL Server.  If you are willing to be a bit proactive and do some testing, you might be able to give an answer to that question instead of the same old shoulder shrug.
