Transcript:Da: Som aftensolen begyndte at bøje sine stråler over Nyhavn, stod Astrid klar med sine pensler.En: As the evening sun began to bend its rays over Nyhavn, Astrid stood ready with her brushes.Da: Sommerluften var varm og brisen let.En: The summer air was warm and the breeze light.Da: De farverige huse langs kanalen spejlede sig i det stille vand, og det hele så næsten magisk ud.En: The colorful houses along the canal mirrored in the still water, and it all looked almost magical.Da: Astrid var en talentfuld, men kæmpende gadekunstner.En: Astrid was a talented but struggling street artist.Da: Hendes staffeli var opsat på brostensgaden, hvor turister traskede forbi med isvafler og kameraer.En: Her easel was set up on the cobblestone street, where tourists strolled by with ice cream cones and cameras.Da: Nyhavn emmede af liv.En: Nyhavn buzzed with life.Da: Musikken fra en gadeperformer spillede i baggrunden og lød som lyden af sommeraftener i København.En: Music from a street performer played in the background and sounded like the essence of summer evenings in Copenhagen.Da: Alligevel følte Astrid sig fjern fra sit maleri.En: Yet, Astrid felt distant from her painting.Da: Hun kunne ikke finde forbindelsen mellem sine hænder og lærredet.En: She couldn't find the connection between her hands and the canvas.Da: Det var som om blot at opfange alle de farvestrålende motiver, som Nyhavn tilbød, var en øvelse i det umulige.En: It was as if capturing all the vibrant motifs that Nyhavn offered was an exercise in the impossible.Da: Mange forbipasserende stoppede op for at beundre hendes arbejde, men alligevel sad usikkerheden fast i hendes sind.En: Many passersby stopped to admire her work, but still, doubt lingered in her mind.Da: Emil og Sofie, to venner fra byen, gik forbi og vinkede til hende.En: Emil and Sofie, two friends from the city, walked by and waved at her.Da: "Hvordan går det med maleriet?En: "How's the painting going?"Da: ", spurgte Emil med et smil.En: asked Emil with a smile.Da: Astrid trak på skuldrene og prøvede at ignorere den buldrende tvivl.En: Astrid shrugged and tried to ignore the roaring doubt.Da: "Jeg ved det ikke, Emil.En: "I don't know, Emil.Da: Det hele føles... fjernt," svarede hun ærligt.En: It all feels... distant," she replied honestly.Da: Efter lidt tid besluttede Astrid sig for at ændre sin tilgang.En: After a while, Astrid decided to change her approach.Da: I stedet for at male hele scenen, fokuserede hun på én detalje: et bestemt hus med røde skodder og en ældgammel historie.En: Instead of painting the entire scene, she focused on one detail: a particular house with red shutters and an ancient history.Da: Hun begyndte at skitsere de små detaljer, de ornamenterede vinduer og de bløde skift i farvenuancer.En: She began sketching the small details, the ornamented windows, and the soft shifts in color tones.Da: Netop da hun begyndte at male igen, overhørte hun en samtale mellem to ældre mænd om netop dette hus.En: Just as she began to paint again, she overheard a conversation between two elderly men about this very house.Da: Det havde engang været hjemsted for en berømt dansk digter, lærte Astrid.En: It had once been home to a famous Danish poet, Astrid learned.Da: Historien, der blev fortalt med entusiasme og kærlighed, tændte en gnist i hende.En: The story, told with enthusiasm and love, ignited a spark in her.Da: Pludselig så hun huset med nye øjne, og hendes pensler begyndte at danse over lærredet.En: Suddenly, she saw the house with new eyes, and her brushes began to dance across the canvas.Da: I løbet af den næste time flød farverne naturligt fra hendes hånd, og motivet trådte levende frem.En: Over the next hour, the colors flowed naturally from her hand, and the motif came to life.Da: Hendes fokus havde givet hende genopdaget klarhed og glæde.En: Her focus had given her newfound clarity and joy.Da: Hun tegnede med en passion, hun længe ikke havde følt.En: She painted with a passion she hadn't felt in a long time.Da: Da mørket lagde sig over Nyhavn, lagde Astrid penslen til side.En: As darkness settled over Nyhavn, Astrid put her brush aside.Da: Hun betragtede sit færdige maleri med stolthed.En: She regarded her finished painting with pride.Da: Det var lykkedes hende at fange stedets skønhed og ånd på en måde, der føltes ægte og personlig.En: She had succeeded in capturing the place's beauty and spirit in a way that felt genuine and personal.Da: Hun følte sig forbundet med sin kunst og omgivelserne igen.En: She felt connected to her art and surroundings once more.Da: Astrid pakkede sine materialer sammen, mens tilskuere nikkede anerkendende.En: Astrid packed up her materials while onlookers nodded appreciatively.Da: Med et lettet smil vidste hun, at hun havde genfundet sin kærlighed til at male, og hendes selvtillid voksede stille og roligt indeni.En: With a relieved smile, she knew she had rediscovered her love for painting, and her confidence slowly grew within her.Da: Nyhavn havde endnu engang vist hende vejen tilbage til sine kreative rødder.En: Nyhavn had once again shown her the way back to her creative roots.

red.Da: "Jeg tror, der var peanuts i maden," sagde han med en svag stemme.En: "I think there were peanuts in the food," he said in a weak voice.Da: Panikken bredte sig hurtigt.En: Panic spread

filled with concern.Da: Søren nikkede, mens han langsomt genvandt kræfterne.En: Søren nodded as he slowly regained his strength.Da: "Jeg lover at lytte til dig fremover," svarede han.En: "I promise to listen to you from now on," he replied.Da: "Jeg har lært min lektie."En: "I've learned my lesson."Da: Da dagen gik på hæld, og solen begyndte at gå ned, sad de tre venner sammen på en bænk, lettet og

slid through the cracks of the open windows in the large family house.Da: Huset lå lidt uden for byen og bar præg af at have oplevet bedre dage.En: The house was located a bit outside the city and bore the marks of having seen better days.Da: Middagstid.En: Dinner time.Da: Familie Middagstid.En: Family Dinner time.Da: Rummet var fyldt med lyden af bestik mod tallerkener, spredte diskussioner og den velkendte knagen af det gamle spisebord.En: The room was filled with the sound of cutlery against plates, scattered discussions, and the familiar creaking of the old dining table.Da: Lars sad stille ved sin ende af bordet.En: Lars sat silently at his end of the table.Da: Han følte det som om vægten af hele verden pressede på hans skuldre.En: He felt as though the weight of the whole world was pressing on his shoulders.Da: Samtalerne omkring ham syntes meningsløse.En: The conversations around him seemed meaningless.Da: Papas traditionelle forventninger, mamas stille skuffelse, søskendes drillerier.En: Papa's traditional expectations, Mama's quiet disappointment, siblings' teasing.Da: Denne gang ville han tale ud.En: This time, he would speak out.Da: Mette, energisk og lys, sad ikke langt fra ham.En: Mette, energetic and bright, sat not far from him.Da: Hendes øjne gled hen over familiemedlemmerne, fanget i deres egne små verdener.En: Her eyes swept over the family members, each caught in their own small worlds.Da: Hun ønskede så inderligt, at familietræffene kunne være en glæde, ikke en byrde.En: She so desperately wished that the family gatherings could be a joy, not a burden.Da: Ikke siden hendes bror rejste væk, havde hun følt en sådan afstand mellem dem alle.En: Not since her brother had left, had she felt such a distance between them all.Da: Pludselig skete det.En: Suddenly it happened.Da: Onkel Jens, som altid var hjertet i maden, tog en drastisk uheldig vending.En: Uncle Jens, who always was the heart of the meal, took a drastic, unfortunate turn.Da:

froze for a moment.Da: Stilheden blev tyk.En: The silence became thick.Da: Så brød kaos ud.En: Then chaos erupted.Da: Mette sprang op.En: Mette jumped up.Da: "Ring efter en ambulance!"En: "Call an ambulance!"Da: beordrede hun.En: she ordered.Da: Hun tog kontrollen, samlede samtlige kræfter sammen.En: She took control, gathering all her strength.Da: Familiens indbyrdes uenigheder blev til støj i periferien, mens de samarbejdede for at hjælpe Jens.En: The family's internal disagreements became noise on the periphery as they worked together to help Jens.Da: Mette fandt et vattæppe, lagde det under hans hoved og forsøgte at holde ham vågen.En: Mette found a blanket, placed it under his head, and tried to keep him awake.Da: Lars, overvældet, som resten, arbejde mekanisk.En: Lars, overwhelmed like the rest, worked mechanically.Da: Men tankerne kørte.En: But his thoughts were racing.Da: Nu eller aldrig.En: Now or never.Da: Inden natten var omme, ville han sige det.En: Before the night was over, he would say it.Da: Han havde set nok gennem kameralinsen til at vide, at øjeblikke som disse definerede folk.En: He had seen enough through the camera lens to know that moments like these defined people.Da: Lars rømmede sig, stemningen stadig ladet af frygt.En: Lars cleared his throat, the atmosphere still charged with fear.Da: "Jeg må sige noget," startede han.En: "I have to say something," he began.Da: Stemmerne, der før havde været så ligeglade, blev nu fokuserede.En: The voices that had been so indifferent before now became focused.Da: "Fotografi betyder noget for mig.En: "Photography means something to me.Da: Jeg vil følge det.En: I want to pursue it.Da: Det er ikke bare en hobby."En: It's not just a hobby."Da: Og som timerne gik, mens ambulancens sirene langsomt fjernede sig, blev stilheden brudt af samtale.En: And as the hours passed, while the sound of the ambulance siren slowly faded away, the silence was broken by conversation.Da: Dybere samtale.En: Deeper conversation.Da: Familierelationer, som havde været så løsnete gennem årene, begyndte at finde deres knuder igen.En: Family ties that had been loosened over the years began to find their knots again.Da: Da natten blev til morgen, og solens første stråler ramte det lille skæve hus, vidste Lars, at noget havde ændret sig.En: As night turned to morning, and the first rays of the sun hit the small crooked house, Lars knew that something had changed.Da: En slags fred.En: A kind of peace.Da: En begyndelse.En: A beginning.Da: Mette så det samme.En: Mette saw the same thing.Da: En ny mulighed for deres familie.En: A new opportunity for their family.Da: Ingen ord kunne beskrive følelsen af håb, som blussede i deres hjerter.En: No words could describe the feeling of hope that flared in their hearts.Da: For i den varme sommernat havde de fundet noget kærkomment.En: For in that warm summer night, they had found something precious.Da: Sammenhold.En: Togetherness.

What's better than a mix from electronic music royalty Cio D'Or? Two mixes. This week we present something very special, a tale told across two chapters. As a mainstay of techno for over two decades, Cio D'Or has consistently pushed boundaries, gracing the decks of revered institutions worldwide and crafting a legendary discography with releases on Prologue, Semantica, Hypnus, Time to Express and more. Across both mixes you will hear Cio's unparalleled ability for sculpting minimalism and sonic architecture, masterfully recontextualizing familiar and obscure tracks alike, breathing new life into them and unveiling hidden dimensions. She dissects, reassembles and creates intricate connections between disparate sounds, all flawlessly executed with an alchemist's touch. Prisma 33 starts at a slower tempo, delicately building into an eruption of psychedelic minimalism. Dada grows with kinetic energy, with Cio sculpting sounds and textures into a deep trip where time seems to bend and dissolve, finishing with an unexpected wildcard that only a master selector could make work.

deres tilflugtssted, konfronterede det voldsomme vejr dem med deres frygt.En: Huddled in their refuge, the violent weather confronted them with their fears.Da: Luften var fyldt med drønnene fra vinden, og i den klaustrofobiske stilhed brød Freja den tavshed, der var trukket med dem i årevis.En: The air was filled with the roar of the wind, and in the claustrophobic silence, Freja broke the silence that had been with them for years.Da: "Jeg savner jer," sagde hun stille, tåren ned ad kinden.En: "I miss you," she said quietly, a tear down her cheek.Da: Magnus kiggede op, hans øjne bløde med følelser.En: Magnus looked up, his eyes soft with emotion.Da: "Jeg er aldrig rigtig taget væk," svarede han.En: "I never really left," he replied.Da: Lars tog en dyb indånding, hans fingerspidser nervøst gribende en islag.En: Lars took a deep breath, his fingertips nervously gripping an ice layer.Da: "Jeg har bare brug for at føle mig hjemme," tilstod han, stemmens kant forsvandt.En: "I just need to feel at home," he confessed, the edge from his voice gone.Da: Denne uventede åbenhed bragte varme i den kolde hule.En: This unexpected openness brought warmth in the cold cave.Da: Deres ord bandt dem langsomt sammen.En: Their words slowly bound them together.Da: Da stormen ebbede ud, og de kunne se igen, besluttede de sig for at vende tilbage.En: As the storm subsided, and they could see again, they decided to return.Da: Vandringen tilbage var fuld af latter og stille forståelse.En: The trek back was full of laughter and quiet understanding.Da: De delte frygt og håb, som isen smeltede under eftermiddagens solstråler.En: They shared fears and hopes, as the ice melted under the afternoon sunrays.Da: Ankommet til udgangspunktet, så de hinanden i øjnene med et nyt bånd.En: Arriving back at their starting point, they looked at each other with a new bond.Da: Freja følte ansvaret for familie falde af hendes skuldre, for nu bar de det sammen.En: Freja felt the responsibility of family lift from her shoulders, for now, they carried it together.Da: Magnus' ansigt strålede af en fred, han længe savnet.En: Magnus's face beamed with a peace he had long missed.Da: Og Lars havde fundet en plads imellem dem, som han længe havde søgt.En: And Lars had found a place among them he had long sought.Da: Samlet, nu mere end nogensinde, stod de ved isens kant og så på hinanden med nyfunden styrke, klar til at tage de næste skridt som en samlet enhed.En: Unified, now more than ever, they stood at the edge of the ice and looked at each other with newfound strength, ready to take the next steps as a united front.

allerede haft alt for sit kunstneriske sæt, men i denne bog lå noget, hun ikke kendte til – Lukas' oprigtige følelser.En: Sofie might already have had everything for her artistic set, but in this book lay something she didn't know about—Lukas's genuine feelings.Da: Han vidste nu, at det vigtigste var at være ærlig om, hvad han følte, ikke hvad han gav.En: He now knew that the most important thing was to be honest about how he felt, not what he gave.Da: Da Lukas og Emil forlod butikken, følte Lukas sig let om hjertet.En: As Lukas and Emil left the store, Lukas felt lighthearted.Da: Nogle gange var det bedste man kunne give, ikke noget der kom fra butikken, men noget der kom fra hjertet.En: Sometimes the best thing you could give wasn't something from the store, but something that came from the heart.Da: Den erkendelse alene var en gave i sig selv.En: That realization alone was a gift in itself.

Wow, we take one week off, and now we have twice as much to discuss! (Makes sense.) First, the Asian baseball world mourns the passing of Yomiuri Giants legend, Shigeo Nagashima, "Mr. Pro Baseball." Then, into the nitty gritty. With June underway, it's that time of the year for the trade rumor mill to get up and running...and it seems like almost all the Asians on the Red Sox are possible trade chips. In other moves, we've got guys called up, guys on rehab stints, guys on the IL, and even a guy on a new team.In position player news, Asians are MASHING. Seiya Suzuki is the first player in MLB to reach 50 RBI, Trevor Larnach is delivering on the Twins, Kim Hyeseong stays above 400, and Tommy Edman's son Eli is the newest Asian in Baseball as he throws out the first pitch on Dada's bobblehead night. And in pitching, Tommy Sugar still leads Orioles pitching, Yusei Kikuchi and Yoshinobu Yamamoto get the Ohtani treatment, and Bryan Woo and Kodai Senga remain dominant. Lastly, Ohtani tries to have it all as a three-way player: DHing, ramping up his pitching regimen, and juggling dad life. Don't forget to vote for our guys for the All Star Game! https://www.mlb.com/all-star/ballot?affiliateId=asb-mediawall-asg-2025

duftede luften af nybagt brød og friskfangede fisk.En: Time passed, blankets were laid out, baskets opened, and soon the air smelled of freshly baked bread and freshly caught fish.Da: Da de endelig var sat, med en undskyldning om at skulle tjekke noget, sneg Freja sig væk mod de mere isolerede klippeformationer.En: When they were finally settled, with an excuse to check something, Freja snuck away toward the more isolated rock formations.Da: Her, omgivet af bølgernes brusen, fandt hun sin plads.En: Here, surrounded by the roar of the waves, she found her spot.Da: Hun satte sig stille og tog sin kikkert frem.En: She sat quietly and took out her binoculars.Da: Hendes hjerte sprang ved synet af en sjælden havørn, majestætisk og stolt, der kredsede højt over hende.En: Her heart leaped at the sight of a rare sea eagle, majestic and proud, circling high above her.Da: I sin iver fordybede hun sig i dette magiske øjeblik, men i et øjebliks glæde kaldte hun på sin bror for at få del i synet.En: In her excitement, she got caught up in this magical moment, but in a moment of joy, she called for her brother to share in the sight.Da: "Søren!En: "Søren!Da: Se, se der!"En: Look, look there!"Da: råbte hun og glemte for en kort stund sin trang til isolation.En: she shouted, forgetting for a brief moment her urge for isolation.Da: Søren's nysgerrighed udløste en kædereaktion.En: Søren's curiosity triggered a chain reaction.Da: Hele familien rejste sig, greb deres kikkerter og strømmede hen mod Frejas sted.En: The whole family got up, grabbed their binoculars, and streamed toward Freja's spot.Da: Freja så til, bange for at de ville skræmme fuglen væk.En: Freja watched, afraid they would scare the bird away.Da: Men til hendes overraskelse satte de sig lydløst ved siden af hende.En: But to her surprise, they sat down quietly beside her.Da: Sammen, næsten åndeløse, delte de synet af havørnen.En: Together, almost breathless, they shared the sight of the sea eagle.Da: Øjeblikket blev et, hvor stilhed talte højere end ord.En: The moment became one where silence spoke louder than words.Da: Freja følte en ny forståelse vokse i sig.En: Freja felt a new understanding grow within her.Da: Måske kunne hendes familie være en del af denne skønhed, uden at den blev ødelagt.En: Perhaps her family could be part of this beauty without ruining it.Da: Da havørnen til sidst svævede væk, blev hun siddende og følte en uventet varme risle gennem sig.En: When the sea eagle finally soared away, she remained seated, feeling an unexpected warmth trickle through her.Da: I løbet af eftermiddagen gik de roligt tilbage til picnicen.En: Throughout the afternoon, they walked calmly back to the picnic.Da: Fuglene fløj rundt dem, og Freja smilede til Søren, som om hun havde fundet en dybere forbindelse til både naturen og sin familie.En: Birds flew around them, and Freja smiled at Søren, as if she had found a deeper connection to both nature and her family.Da: Midt i latteren og den stille forening havde hun fundet balancen mellem sine ønsker og familiens kærlighed.En: Amidst the laughter and quiet unity, she had found the balance between her desires and her family's love.
