Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 19, 2026 is: indomitable • in-DAH-muh-tuh-bul • adjective Indomitable is a formal word used to describe something that is impossible to defeat or discourage. // Juneteenth celebrates the abolition of slavery in the United States, and honors the indomitable spirit of African Americans past and present fighting for justice, liberation, and the fulfillment of this nation's ideals. See the entry > Examples: “During his legendary NBA career, Michael Jordan was renowned not only for his athleticism and skill but also for his indomitable will to win.” – Chicago Tribune, 1 Apr. 2026 Did you know? At five punchy syllables, indomitable is an imposing word, so it's inevitable that some are perplexed by this synonym for impregnable. But it's not so tough once you break it into parts. The prefix in- (spelled im- before b, m, and p) means “not” in an innumerable collection of English words. (How many have you counted so far?) The common suffix -able means “capable of, fit for, or worthy of.” Combine those two English affixes with the Latin verb domitare (“to tame”), and voila: indomitable. Indomitable was first used in English as a synonym of wild, describing—appropriately enough—things that cannot be tamed, but over time the wildness associated with indomitable developed into a specific kind of invulnerable strength.

This week, Geordie & Michelle dive into the life and work of the greatest children's author of all time, Roald Dahl...If you've ever read a book by Roald Dahl or watched one of the films inspired by his stories, you might assume his legacy begins and ends with some of the most beloved children's books ever written. But that barely scratches the surface. Beyond his extraordinary imagination as a writer, Dahl lived a life that was as dramatic as any of his stories. He served as a fighter pilot during World War II, survived a crash that nearly killed him, and later worked as a British intelligence agent. He wrote the most successful James Bond film screenplay of all time, caught the attention of Walt Disney, collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock and married a super successful Hollywood actress. He endured the death of a child and supported another through a life-threatening injury and even helped develop a life-saving medical device. But there's also a dark side to Dah's life that begs the question - can you separate the work from the man? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the pair chat the woman who went missing in Geordie's neighbourhood, Dan the Postie's new wheels, hydro facials, sound baths and more, only on Eavesdroppin'.

Transcript:Da: I det pittoreske, gated community i København, hvor tulipanerne blomstrede, og de brostensbelagte stier bød indbydende velkommen, forberedte Nikolaj sig på at imponere sin familie.En: In the picturesque gated community in København, where tulips bloomed and the cobblestone paths invitingly welcomed, Nikolaj prepared to impress his family.Da: Det var påske, og en særlig dag for Nikolaj.En: It was Easter, and a special day for Nikolaj.Da: Han havde planlagt en æggejagt, og det skulle være en dag, som familien aldrig ville glemme.En: He had planned an egg hunt, and it was to be a day the family would never forget.Da: Nikolaj var en forsigtig teenager.En: Nikolaj was a cautious teenager.Da: Han ønskede at vise sin familie, at han kunne skabe noget specielt.En: He wanted to show his family that he could create something special.Da: Men frygten for at skuffe dem plagede ham.En: But the fear of disappointing them troubled him.Da: Freja, hans mor, var altid der til at støtte ham, måske lidt for meget.En: Freja, his mother, was always there to support him, maybe a bit too much.Da: Hun ville passe på sin yngste søn.En: She wanted to take care of her youngest son.Da: Lukas, Nikolajs ældre bror, var modsat.En: Lukas, Nikolaj's older brother, was the opposite.Da: Han havde sans for eventyr og opfordrede Nikolaj til at prøve nye ting.En: He had a sense of adventure and encouraged Nikolaj to try new things.Da: Mens landskabet glødede af forårets varme farver, gik Nikolaj og Lukas langs de små stier i kvarteret.En: As the landscape glowed with the warm colors of spring, Nikolaj and Lukas walked along the small paths in the neighborhood.Da: Tulipanerne svajede let i brisen, og påskeæggene stod på række i kurve.En: The tulips swayed gently in the breeze, and the Easter eggs stood in rows in baskets.Da: Nikolaj vaklede ved tanken om det store ansvar.En: Nikolaj wavered at the thought of the great responsibility.Da: "Jeg ved ikke, Lukas.En: "I don't know, Lukas.Da: Hvad hvis det hele går galt?"En: What if it all goes wrong?"Da: sagde Nikolaj stille.En: said Nikolaj quietly.Da: "Bror, lad mig hjælpe dig," svarede Lukas beroligende.En: "Brother, let me help you," replied Lukas reassuringly.Da: "Vi kan gøre det sammen.En: "We can do it together.Da: Du planlægger, og jeg sørger for, det bliver sjovt."En: You plan, and I'll make sure it's fun."Da: Nikolaj tog en dyb indånding.En: Nikolaj took a deep breath.Da: Han valgte at stole på Lukas.En: He chose to trust Lukas.Da: Sammen lagde de en plan, der involverede en lille overraskelse.En: Together they made a plan that involved a little surprise.Da: Nikolaj tænkte, at en lille udfordring kunne gøre jagten mere spændende.En: Nikolaj thought that a little challenge could make the hunt more exciting.Da: Dagen kom, og familien samlede sig i haven.En: The day came, and the family gathered in the garden.Da: Solen skinnede klart, og Freja betragtede Nikolaj stolt, mens han med et lille smil gav startskuddet.En: The sun shone brightly, and Freja watched Nikolaj proudly as he, with a small smile, gave the starting signal.Da: Æggene var gemt godt i området, men nogle af dem havde små ledetråde, som sendte deltagerne tilbage til begyndelsen for at lede efter en speciel præmie – et stort chokoladeæg.En: The eggs were well hidden in the area, but some of them had small clues that sent participants back to the beginning to search for a special prize – a large chocolate egg.Da: Under jagten opstod der pludselig forvirring.En: During the hunt, confusion suddenly arose.Da: En af ledetrådene havde ved en fejl peget dem mod et forkert område i haven.En: One of the clues had mistakenly pointed them to the wrong area in the garden.Da: Familien blev kortvarigt ængstelig, men Lukas sprang ind og fik dem tilbage på sporet.En: The family was momentarily anxious, but Lukas jumped in and got them back on track.Da: Til sidst fandt de store æg, hvor en skjult gulerod ventede med en sjov besked fra Nikolaj: "Du fandt mig!En: Finally, they found the large egg, where a hidden carrot awaited with a funny message from Nikolaj: "You found me!Da: Godt gået!En: Well done!Da: Håber du nød eventyret!"En: Hope you enjoyed the adventure!"Da: Familien brød ud i latter, da de satte sig til bords med chokoladen og delte påskeminder.En: The family burst into laughter as they sat down with the chocolate and shared Easter memories.Da: Freja krammede Nikolaj tæt.En: Freja hugged Nikolaj tightly.Da: "Du gjorde det fantastisk, min dreng," sagde hun.En: "You did fantastic, my boy," she said.Da: Lukas klappede ham på ryggen.En: Lukas patted him on the back.Da: "Jeg vidste, du kunne gøre det."En: "I knew you could do it."Da: Nikolaj følte en varme sprede sig indeni.En: Nikolaj felt a warmth spread inside.Da: Han havde gjort det.En: He had done it.Da: Gennem samarbejde med Lukas havde han overvundet sin frygt.En: Through collaboration with Lukas, he had overcome his fear.Da: Han kiggede ud over haven.En: He looked out over the garden.Da: Det farverige landskab virkede endnu smukkere nu, hvor Nikolaj havde lært, hvor meget familie betød.En: The colorful landscape seemed even more beautiful now that Nikolaj had learned how much family meant.Da: Han havde lært ikke kun at stole på sig selv, men også på dem, han holdt af.En: He had learned not only to trust himself but also those he loved.Da: Easter i København ville aldrig være det samme.En: Easter in København would never be the same.Da: Det havde Nikolaj sørget for.En: Nikolaj had ensured that.

Story Transcript:Da: Forårsbrisen kærtegnede de gamle sten, mens Lars og Astrid trådte ind gennem portene til Kronborg Slot.En: The spring breeze caressed the old stones as Lars and Astrid stepped through the gates of Kronborg Slot.Da: Det var påske.En: It was Easter.Da: Solens varme stråler blødgjorde murene, og små blomster tittede frem langs stisiderne.En: The sun's warm rays softened the walls, and small flowers peeked out along the pathways.Da: Lars og Astrid elskede denne tid.En: Lars and Astrid loved this time.Da: Hvert år, en ny tradition.En: Every year, a new tradition.Da: Hvert år, nye eventyr.En: Every year, new adventures.Da: Lars var fyldt med forventning.En: Lars was filled with anticipation.Da: "Astrid," sagde han ivrigt, "nogle af vores forfædre har måske boet her.En: "Astrid," he said eagerly, "some of our ancestors might have lived here.Da: Der er en legende om en hemmelig passage."En: There's a legend about a secret passage."Da: Astrid kiggede skeptisk på ham, men et lille smil spillede om hendes læber.En: Astrid looked at him skeptically, but a small smile played at the corners of her lips.Da: Hun vidste, hvor meget disse eventyr betød for ham.En: She knew how much these adventures meant to him.Da: "En hemmelig passage?"En: "A secret passage?"Da: gentog Astrid.En: repeated Astrid.Da: "Det lyder spøjst."En: "That sounds strange."Da: Hun var mere interesseret i slottets smukke arkitektur.En: She was more interested in the castle's beautiful architecture.Da: Søjlerne, de gotiske buer, hvordan alt fungerede før i tiden.En: The pillars, the Gothic arches, how everything functioned in the old days.Da: Men noget i Lars' øjne fik hende til at glemme sin skepsis for et øjeblik.En: But something in Lars' eyes made her forget her skepticism for a moment.Da: Lars førte an, mens de gik gennem gange, hvor lyset kun netop trængte ind.En: Lars led the way as they walked through corridors, where the light barely penetrated.Da: Han havde planlagt en skattejagt for Astrid.En: He had planned a treasure hunt for Astrid.Da: "Kom," sagde han, "vi kan lede efter spor sammen."En: "Come," he said, "we can look for clues together."Da: Astrid fulgte med.En: Astrid followed along.Da: Måske kunne det være sjovt at grave lidt i fortiden.En: Maybe it could be fun to dig into the past a little.Da: Som de gik rundt, fandt de et gammelt kort i en af udstillingerne.En: As they wandered around, they found an old map in one of the exhibits.Da: "Se, Astrid!En: "Look, Astrid!Da: Det er næsten som kortet til vores skattejagt!"En: It's almost like the map for our treasure hunt!"Da: Lars' begejstring var smittende.En: Lars' excitement was contagious.Da: De begyndte begge at knytte kortets detaljer til rummet omkring dem.En: They both began to link the map's details to the room around them.Da: Under deres opdagelser stødte de på et koldt gust stykke af slottets mure, der virkede anderledes.En: During their discoveries, they stumbled upon a cold, drafty section of the castle's walls that seemed different.Da: "Prøv at skubbe til den," foreslog Lars forsigtigt.En: "Try pushing it," suggested Lars cautiously.Da: Til deres store overraskelse gav stenen lidt efter.En: To their great surprise, the stone gave way a little.Da: Langsomt dukkede en smal passage op.En: Slowly, a narrow passage appeared.Da: "Kan det virkelig passe?"En: "Can it really be?"Da: spurgte Astrid med voksende interesse.En: Astrid asked with growing interest.Da: I den mørke gang fandt de gamle genstande, skjulte ark for lang tid siden.En: In the dark corridor, they found old objects, hidden away long ago.Da: Astrid bøjede sig for at undersøge dem nærmere.En: Astrid bent down to examine them more closely.Da: "Det her... det stemmer med vores families historier," sagde hun blidt, næsten ærefrygtigt.En: "This... this matches our family's stories," she said softly, almost reverently.Da: Lars og Astrid stod stille, frosset af det øjeblik de delte.En: Lars and Astrid stood still, frozen by the moment they shared.Da: "Det er utroligt," sagde Astrid, nu med et varmt glimt i øjnene.En: "It's incredible," said Astrid, now with a warm gleam in her eyes.Da: "Du vidste det hele tiden, Lars, gjorde du ikke?"En: "You knew all along, Lars, didn't you?"Da: Lars trak på skuldrene, men hans smil var bredere end nogensinde.En: Lars shrugged, but his smile was broader than ever.Da: Da de forlod passagen, mærkede de, at noget havde ændret sig.En: As they left the passage, they felt that something had changed.Da: Lars havde set Astrids nysgerrighed vågne, og Astrid havde forstået Lars' passion for deres fælles historie.En: Lars had seen Astrid's curiosity awaken, and Astrid had understood Lars' passion for their shared history.Da: De havde formet et bånd,

Verden brenner. Allierte snur oss ryggen mens krigen raser ikke langt fra Norge. Er det ungdommer som igjen skal ta støyten? Og hjelper det med et kulturelt opprør? Hilde Sandvik leder samtalen med Norges yngste stortingspolitiker Frøya Skjold Sjursæther, medisinstudent Birk Adelved Bruheim og teatersjef Solrun Toft Iversen. I lys av verdenssituasjonen inviterer teatersjefen til konsertversjonen av «Hair» på Forum Scene fra 18.-21. februar. Billettprisen for unge er 50 kr. Hvorfor? Da «Hår», hadde norgespremiere på DNS i 1970, skapte den furore – kanskje mest på grunn av nakenhet og brudd med samfunnsnormer. I bunn er musikalen imidlertid en kulturell mobilisering, en protest mot krigføring og et sterkt uttrykk for generasjonsmotsetninger og verdikamp. Dagens farlige og uforutsigbare verdensbilde fører til frykt og opprusting. Over 85% av unge i dag er bekymret for fremtiden, viser Perspektivmeldingen. Krigstrusler og klimakrise rammer de unge sterkest. Når kultur nå løftes frem som en del av totalforsvaret, må vi også spørre: Er dette mer enn vakre ord? Og hva skal til for at kunst faktisk kan være motstandskraft? Hvordan ruster vi opp felleskapet i splittende tider og gir styrke til håp og handlekraft?

Story Transcript:Da: Dybt inde i Rold Skov, lå en hyggelig hytte dækket af tyk, hvid sne.En: Deep within Rold Skov, there lay a cozy cabin covered with thick, white snow.Da: Derinde knitrede ilden lystigt i pejsen.En: Inside, the fire crackled merrily in the fireplace.Da: Det var her, Freja følte sig allermest hjemme.En: It was here that Freja felt most at home.Da: Hun gik rundt med en tjekliste i hånden og nynnede en lille julesang.En: She walked around with a checklist in hand, humming a little Christmas song.Da: Hun var opsat på at tilbringe julen i hytten sammen med sine brødre, Kasper og Mikkel.En: She was determined to spend Christmas in the cabin with her brothers, Kasper and Mikkel.Da: Men Kasper havde altid travlt i byen.En: But Kasper was always busy in the city.Da: Han var altid sjov og slap gerne af, men hans arbejde på kontoret holdt ham fanget.En: He was always fun and liked to relax, but his office job kept him tied up.Da: Mikkel, derimod, havde bøger stakket omkring sig.En: Mikkel, on the other hand, had books stacked around him.Da: Han var i gang med afsluttende eksamener, og hovedet var fyldt med matematik og kemi.En: He was preparing for his final exams, and his mind was filled with math and chemistry.Da: Freja vidste, hun havde brug for at samle sine brødre om sig.En: Freja knew she needed to gather her brothers around her.Da: Hun huskede, hvordan de som børn altid pyntede juletræet sammen, og hun savnede de tider.En: She remembered how, as children, they always decorated the Christmas tree together, and she missed those times.Da: En dag inviterede hun Kasper og Mikkel til et møde foran en dampende kop gløgg.En: One day, she invited Kasper and Mikkel for a meeting in front of a steaming cup of "gløgg".Da: "Jul i hytten er noget særligt," startede Freja forsigtigt.En: "Christmas in the cabin is something special," started Freja cautiously.Da: "Vi har brug for de øjeblikke sammen."En: "We need those moments together."Da: Kasper lo lidt, men han kunne også se alvoren i Frejas øjne.En: Kasper laughed a little, but he could also see the seriousness in Freja's eyes.Da: "Jeg har deadlines, Freja.En: "I have deadlines, Freja.Da: Jeg ved ikke, om jeg kan slippe væk tids nok."En: I don't know if I can get away in time."Da: Og Mikkel kiggede op fra sin bog med et træt smil.En: And Mikkel looked up from his book with a tired smile.Da: "Jeg har eksamener, Freja.En: "I have exams, Freja.Da: Det er svære tider."En: These are tough times."Da: Freja satte sig på sofaen med et suk.En: Freja sat on the sofa with a sigh.Da: "Hør," sagde hun.En: "Listen," she said.Da: "Jeg ved, vi alle er travle.En: "I know we're all busy.Da: Men når vi ingen tid har til familie, mister vi snart traditionerne."En: But when we don't make time for family, we soon lose the traditions."Da: Der opstod en stilhed, der kun blev brydt af pejsens knitren.En: A silence broke out, interrupted only by the crackling of the fireplace.Da: Kasper kiggede på Mikkel, og Mikkel kiggede tilbage.En: Kasper looked at Mikkel, and Mikkel looked back.Da: De indså, hvor meget julen egentlig betød for deres søster – og dem selv.En: They realized how much Christmas actually meant to their sister – and to themselves.Da: Efter lidt diskussioner besluttede de, at ændringer kunne ske.En: After some discussion, they decided that changes could happen.Da: Kasper arvede noget seriøsitet og ryddede sin tidsplan en smule.En: Kasper adopted some seriousness and cleared his schedule a bit.Da: Mikkel satte tid af i sin læseplan til at tage en pause.En: Mikkel made time in his study plan to take a break.Da: Det var ikke let, men det var nødvendigt.En: It wasn't easy, but it was necessary.Da: Juleaften i hytten blev magisk.En: Christmas Eve in the cabin was magical.Da: Kasper og Mikkel ankom, lige da de første stjerner tittede frem.En: Kasper and Mikkel arrived just as the first stars appeared.Da: De hjalp med at pynte træet, mens Freja fandt de gamle, slidte julekugler frem.En: They helped decorate the tree while Freja brought out the old, worn-out ornaments.Da: Snart var duften af brunkager og gran fyldt hytten.En: Soon, the scent of gingerbread cookies and pine filled the cabin.Da: Sammen satte de sig foran pejsen, indhyllet i varme tæpper, og lod sig opsluge af hyggelige barndomsminder.En: Together, they sat in front of the fireplace, wrapped in warm blankets, and let themselves be enveloped in cozy childhood memories.Da: Det blev en julet aften fuld af grin, historier og gensynet med deres fælles fortid.En: It became a Christmas evening full of laughter, stories, and reunions with their shared past.Da: Freja lærte, at det var okay at slippe lidt kontrollen og lade sine brødre tage ansvar.En: Freja learned that it was okay to relinquish a bit of control and let her brothers take responsibility.Da: Kasper og Mikkel forstod, hvor vigtig en kæde af deres familiehistorie var, og de lovede at gøre mere tid til familie i fremtiden.En: Kasper and Mikkel understood how important a link of their family history was, and they promised to make more time for family in the future.Da: Ilden brændte lystigt, og udenfor begyndte det at sne igen, hvilket lagde et ekstra tæppe af ro over hytten.En: The fire burned brightly, and outside it began to snow again, laying an extra blanket of tranquility over the cabin.Da: En ny tradition var født, og de alle vidste, det var begyndelsen på mange flere vidunderlige juledage i deres elskede hytte i Rold Skov.En: A new tradition was born, and they all knew it was the beginning of many more wonderful Christmas days in their beloved cabin in Rold Skov.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: A Christmas in København: From Conflict to Heartfelt Reunion Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-12-13-23-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Det var en kold vinteraften i København, sneen dalede stille ned udenfor, og indenfor i den lille stue duftede det af gran og nylavet risalamande.En: It was a cold winter evening in København.Da: Astrid, den ældste i flokken, havde anstrengt sig for at skabe den perfekte jul med alle de traditioner, hun elskede.En: The snow was gently falling outside, and inside the small living room, it smelled of pine and freshly made risalamande.Da: Men julepynten og den hyggelige atmosfære kunne ikke skjule spændingen mellem hendes brødre, Jens og Mikkel.En: Astrid, the oldest of the group, had made an effort to create the perfect Christmas with all the traditions she loved.Da: Jens, den mellemste, sad i sofaen med en kop gløgg, mens han fnyste ad en kommentar Mikkel lige havde kastet.En: But the Christmas decorations and cozy atmosphere couldn't hide the tension between her brothers, Jens and Mikkel.Da: Mikkel, den yngste, følte sig ofte overset og tog enhver mulighed for at provokere Jens.En: Jens, the middle one, was sitting on the sofa with a cup of gløgg, while he scoffed at a comment Mikkel had just made.Da: Denne jul skulle være anderledes, tænkte Astrid.En: Mikkel, the youngest, often felt overlooked and seized every chance to provoke Jens.Da: Hun ønskede forsoning og sammenhold mere end noget andet.En: This Christmas would be different, Astrid thought.Da: "Kom, vi skal pynte træet," sagde Astrid opmuntrende og gav hver af dem en kasse julekugler.En: She wanted reconciliation and togetherness more than anything.Da: Men i stedet for at samarbejde, endte Jens og Mikkel i en ophedet diskussion om, hvilken kugle skulle hænge hvor.En: "Come, let's decorate the tree," said Astrid encouragingly, handing each of them a box of Christmas ornaments.Da: Astrid sukkede og så ud ad vinduet på snefnuggene, der stille lagde sig som en rolig dyne over byen.En: But instead of cooperating, Jens and Mikkel ended up in a heated argument over which ornament should hang where.Da: Da de endelig satte sig til bords til julemiddagen, mærkede Astrid, at noget måtte gøres.En: Astrid sighed and looked out the window at the snowflakes gently settling like a calm blanket over the city.Da: "Lad os tale om det," sagde hun roligt og kiggede skiftevis på sine to brødre.En: When they finally sat down for Christmas dinner, Astrid felt that something had to be done.Da: "Hvad er det egentlig, der foregår mellem jer?En: "Let's talk about it," she said calmly, looking back and forth between her two brothers.Da: "Jens trak på skuldrene, mens Mikkel stirrede ned i sin tallerken.En: "What's really going on between you?"Da: "Det er bare.En: Jens shrugged while Mikkel stared down at his plate.Da: ," begyndte Jens, "han lytter aldrig til mig.En: "It's just...," began Jens, "he never listens to me."Da: " Mikkel så op.En: Mikkel looked up.Da: "Det er fordi, jeg føler, du aldrig respekterer mig.En: "That's because I feel like you never respect me."Da: "Emnerne strømmede ud.En: The topics poured out.Da: Gamle uoverensstemmelser og misforståelser kom på bordet, mens de andre familiemedlemmer stille lyttede.En: Old disagreements and misunderstandings came to the table while the other family members quietly listened.Da: Ordene fløj gennem luften, men midt i det hele var det Astrid, der tog modet til sig.En: Words flew through the air, but in the midst of it all, it was Astrid who mustered the courage.Da: "Hør her," sagde hun med blid overbevisning.En: "Listen," she said with gentle conviction.Da: "Ingen af os er perfekte.En: "None of us are perfect.Da: Men vi er en familie.En: But we are a family.Da: Det er jul, og det er tid til at tilgive.En: It's Christmas, and it's time to forgive."Da: "Der blev stille rundt om bordet.En: Silence fell around the table.Da: Udenfor hylede vinden, men indenfor blev der varmt fra hjertenes forsoning.En: Outside, the wind howled, but inside it grew warm from the reconciliation of their hearts.Da: Jens tog en dyb indånding, "Jeg beklager, Mikkel," sagde han.En: Jens took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Mikkel," he said.Da: "Jeg burde have lyttet.En: "I should have listened."Da: " Mikkel nikkede, "Og jeg burde have talt om det i stedet for at hidse mig op.En: Mikkel nodded, "And I should have talked about it instead of getting upset."Da: "Da de senere satte sig i sofaen med pebernødder og julekalender i fjernsynet, følte Astrid en ny ro.En: Later, when they sat on the sofa with pebernødder and the Christmas calendar on the TV, Astrid felt a new peace.Da: Det var måske ikke den perfekte jul, hun havde håbet på, men det var deres jul.En: It might not have been the perfect Christmas she had hoped for, but it was their Christmas.Da: Familien kom tættere sammen denne aften i København, og Astrid lærte, at kærlighed ikke kræver perfektion, men forståelse.En: The family grew closer together that evening in København, and Astrid learned that love doesn't require

DAH SAYS: "In today's world, we can oppose destruction and violence with the creation of meaning "The Economist Magazine's Intelligence Unit places, Serbia, and Singapore, among the 46 countries that are considered Flawed Democracies along with United States of America. As our three countries grow more alike in surprising ways, it felt like the right moment to revisit two powerful episodes featuring activist artists from Serbia and Singapore. First up is our 2022 Change the Story Change the World with conversation with Dijana Milosevic, the Director of Belgrade's Dah Teatar. Imagine mounting a guerrilla theater performance in a bombed-out city square, in the middle of war, while armed soldiers look on—and still holding on to your art, your convictions, and your humanity. That is the story of Dah Teatar, a theater collective from Belgrade that has survived war, sanctions, shifting regimes, and censorship—and kept creating powerful, justice-driven work.In this episode of ART IS CHANGE, we dive back into the history and present of Dah Teatar through a rich conversation with co‑founder Dijana Milošević. We revisit their 1992 This Babylonian Confusion street performance, and then catch up on how the company has restructured, relocated, responded to climate concerns, and carried forward their practice of “being with” communities. Along the way, Dijana shares stories of bus‑based public theater, performances among trees, and how art continues to navigate complexity, contradiction, and resistance in Serbia today.You'll hear:How Dah anchored themselves in relationship and material constraints during the war years, moving from classic theater into street performance in real time.The evolution of the company from ensemble-based actors to a more horizontal, administrative structure that can sustain creative risk.Their project Invisible City, performed inside buses, bringing stories rooted in neighborhood life to ordinary passengers—not just theatergoers.Their more recent project Dancing Trees, where trees become collaborators, audiences move into the forest, and performance becomes site, sound, memory, and activism.Reflections on censorship, environmental struggle, national narratives, cross‑community healing, and the role of artists in turbulent times.Tune in to follow Dah's journey across decades of upheaval and resilience—and be inspired by how a theater company, rooted in place and poetic defiance, continues to bridge divides between people and environment.Change the Story CollectionBe sure to check out our CHANGE THE STORY COLLECTION OF ARCHIVED EPISODES on: Justice Arts, Art & Healing, Cultural Organizing, Arts Ed./Children & Youth, Community Arts Training, Music for Change, Theater for Change, Change Making Media.

164. Mektup Bu mektûb, hâfız Behâeddîn-i Serhendîye yazılmışdır. Allahü teâlânın feyz ve ni'metleri, her ân, herkese gelmekdedir. Bunları almak ve alamamak arasındaki ayrılık insanlarda olduğu bildirilmekdedir: Allahü teâlâ hepimizi, islâmiyyet yolunda bulundursun! Allahü teâlânın feyzleri, ni'metleri, ihsânları, ya'nî iyilikleri, her ân, insanların iyisine, kötüsüne herkese gelmekdedir. Herkese mal, evlâd, rızk, hidâyet, irşâd ve selâmet ve dahâ her iyiliği fark gözetmeksizin göndermekdedir. [Kullarının küfrlerini, günâhlarını yüzlerine vurmuyor. Kendisine karşı gelenlerin, inkâr edenlerin, günâh işliyenlerin rızklarını kesmiyor. Dünyâ için çalışanlara karşılıklarını, fark gözetmeksizin veriyor]. Fark, bunları kabûlde, alabilmekde ve ba'zılarını da alamamak sûretiyle, insanlardadır. [Allahü teâlâ, kullarına zulm etmez, haksızlık etmez. Onlar, kendilerini azâba, acılara sürükleyen bozuk düşünceleri, çirkin işleri ile, kendilerine zulm ve işkence ediyorlar. Beyt: Hâşâ, zulm etmez kuluna, Hüdâsı, herkesin çekdiği, kendi cezâsı!] Nitekim güneş, hem çamaşır yıkayan adama, hem de çamaşırlara, aynı şeklde, parlamakda iken, adamın yüzünü yakıp karartır, çamaşırlarını ise beyâzlatır. [Bunun gibi, elmaya ve bibere aynı şeklde parladığı hâlde, elmayı kızartınca tatlılaşdırır; biberi kızartınca acılaşdırır. Tatlılık ve acılık hep güneşin parlaması ile ise de, aralarındaki fark, güneşden değil, kendilerindendir.] İnsanların, Allahü teâlâdan gelen ni'metlere nâil olmamaları, Ondan yüz çevirdikleri içindir. Yüz çeviren, elbette birşey alamaz. Ağzı kapalı bir kap, Nisân yağmuruna elbette kavuşamaz. Evet, yüz çeviren birçok kimsenin, ni'metler içinde yaşadığı görülüp, mahrûm kalmadıkları zan olunuyor ise de, bunlarda ni'met olarak görülenler, hakîkatde azâb ve felâket tohumlarıdır. Mekr-i ilâhî ile, istidrâc olarak, ya'nî Allahü teâlânın aldatarak, ni'met şeklinde gösterdiği musîbetlerdir. O kimseleri harâb etmek için ve dahâ ziyâde azıp, sapıtmaları içindir. Nitekim, Mü'minûn sûresinin ellialtıncı âyetinde meâlen, (Kâfirler, mal ve çok evlâd gibi dünyâlıkları verdiğimiz için, kendilerine iyilik mi ediyoruz, yardım mı ediyoruz sanıyor. Peygamberime “sallallahü aleyhi ve sellem” inanmadıkları ve dîn-i islâmı beğenmedikleri için, onlara mükâfat mı ediyoruz, diyorlar? Hayır, öyle değildir. Aldanıyorlar. Bunların ni'met olmayıp, musîbet olduğunu anlamıyorlar) buyurulmuşdur. O hâlde, Hak teâlâdan yüz çevirenlere verilen dünyâlıklar, hep harâblıkdır, felâketdir. [Şeker hastasına verilen tatlılar, helvalar gibidir. Onu bir ân evvel helâke sürükler.] Allahü teâlâ, bizleri, böyle olmakdan korusun! Vesselâm. 166. Bu mektûb, molla Muhammed Emîne yazılmışdır. Dünyânın birkaç günlük hayâtına aldanmamağı ve bu kısa zemânda, çok zikr ederek, kalb hastalığını gidermeğe çalışmak lâzım olduğu bildirilmekdedir: Yavrum! Annenin yavrusuna karşı yapdığı gibi, dahâ ne zemâna kadar kendine böyle titreyeceksin? Dahâ ne güne kadar, nefsin için üzülecek, sıkıntılara düşeceksin? Yakında, elbet öleceksin! O hâlde! Kendini ve herkesi ölmüş bil! Duymaz, kımıldamaz bir taş gibi düşün! Zümer sûresi, otuzuncu âyetinde meâlen, (Sen elbette öleceksin! Onlar da elbette ölecekler!) buyuruldu. Bu kısa zemânda, yapılması gerekli en mühim şey, çok zikr yaparak, kalbi hastalıkdan kurtarmağı düşünmekdir. Çabuk biten bu zemânda, Allahü teâlâyı hâtırlayarak, ma'nevî hastalığa ilâc yapmak en büyük vazîfe olmalıdır. Allahdan başkasına düşkün olan bir gönülden hiç hayr umulur mu? Dünyâya eğilmiş olan rûhdan, nefs-i emmâre dahâ iyidir. Orada, hep kalbin selâmetini isterler. Rûhun, kurtulmuş olmasını ararlar. Biz, kısa görüşlüler ise, hiç durmadan rûhumuzu ve kalbimizi bu dünyâya bağlayacak sebebleri elde etmeği düşünmekdeyiz. Yazıklar olsun! Yazıklar olsun! Ne yapalım? Âl-i İmrân sûresi, yüzonyedinci âyetinde meâlen, (Allahü teâlâ onlara zulm etmedi. Onlar, kendilerine zulm ediyorlar) buyuruldu.

159. Bu mektûb, Şerefeddîn Hüseyn-i Bedahşîye yazılmışdır. Merhûm babası için sabr dilemekdedir:“Başa gelen belâlar, sıkıntılar, her ne kadar acı ve üzücü görünür ise de, bâtına ya'nî kalbe, rûha tatlı gelmekdedir. Çünki, beden ile rûh birbirinin zıddı, tersi gibidir. Birine acı gelen, ötekine tatlı olmakdadır. Yaratılışda duygusuz olan, bu ikisinin ters olduğunu ve hâllerini, özelliklerini ayıramaz. Böyle kimseleri hesâba katmıyoruz. Bu sözlerimizi onlar için bildirmiyoruz. A'râf sûresinin yüzyetmişsekizinci âyetinde meâlen, (Onlar, hayvanlar gibidir. Dahâ da aşağıdırlar) buyuruldu.Fârisî beyt tercemesi: Kendinden haberi olmayan kimse, Nerede kaldı başka şeyleri bile? Bir kimsenin rûhu alçalarak beden mertebesine yerleşse ve Âlem-i emri, âlem-i halkına bağlansa, bu ince bilgileri nasıl anlıyabilir? Rûhu kendi makâmına çıkmadıkca ve Âlem-i emri, Âlem-i halkından ayrılmadıkca, bu ma'rifetlerin güzelliğini nasıl görebilir? Bu ni'mete kavuşmak için, ecel-i müsemmâ gelmeden önce olan ölüme kavuşmak lâzımdır. Tarîkat büyükleri “kaddesallahü teâlâ esrârehüm” bu ölüme (Fenâ) adını vermişlerdir. Fârisî beyt tercemesi: Toprak ol toprak ki, gül bitsin sende, Toprakdan başka yok, kavuşan güle. Ölüm gelmeden önce ölmeyen kimseyi dertli bilmelidir! Ona geçmiş olsun demelidir! İyilikle tanınmış olan ve emr-i ma'rûf ve nehy-i münker ibâdetini elden bırakmıyan kıymetli babanızın ölüm haberi müslimânları çok üzdü. Hepimiz, Allah için yaratıldık ve hepimiz Onun huzûruna çıkacağız. Siz oğlumuz sabr ederek, bizden önce gidenlere, sadaka ile ve düâ ile ve istigfâr ederek yardım etmeli, imdâdlarına yetişmelisiniz! Çünki, dirilerin yardımına ölülerin çok ihtiyâcı vardır. Hadîs-i şerîfde buyuruldu ki, (Ölü, suda boğulmak üzere olan biri gibidir. Babasından, anasından, kardeşinden ve arkadaşından gelecek olan bir düâyı hep beklemekdedir. Ona bir düâ gelince, dünyâya ve dünyâda olanların hepsine kavuşmakdan dahâ çok sevinir. Allahü teâlâ, yeryüzünde olanların düâları yardımı ile, kabrde olanlara dağlar gibi rahmet gönderir. Dirilerin ölülere olan hediyyesi, onlar için istigfâr etmekdir). Nasîhatların sonuncusu, hep zikr yapmak ve hep Allahü teâlâyı düşünmekdir. Çünki, elimizde bulunan zemân çok azdır. Bunu en lüzûmlu yerde kullanmak lâzımdır. Vesselâm.

A realização da próxima Conferência do Clima da ONU em Belém do Pará (COP30) aproximará, pela primeira vez, os líderes globais de uma realidade complexa: a de que a preservação ambiental só vai acontecer se garantir renda para as populações locais. Conforme o IBGE, mais de um terço (36%) dos 28 milhões habitantes da Amazônia Legal estão na pobreza, um índice superior à média nacional. Lúcia Müzell, enviada especial da RFI a Belém e Terra Santa (Pará) Ao longo de décadas de ocupação pela agricultura, mineração e extração de madeira, incentivadas pelo Estado, instalou-se na região o imaginário de que a prosperidade passa pelo desmatamento. O desafio hoje é inverter esta lógica: promover políticas que façam a floresta em pé ter mais valor do que derrubada.    Os especialistas em preservação alertam há décadas que uma das chaves para a proteção da floresta é o manejo sustentável dos seus recursos naturais, com a inclusão das comunidades locais nessa bioeconomia. Praticamente 50% do bioma amazônico está sob Unidades de Conservação do governo federal, que podem ser Áreas de Proteção Permanente ou com uso sustentável autorizado e regulamentado, como o das concessões florestais.  A cadeia da devastação começa pelo roubo de madeira. Depois, vem o desmatamento da área e a conversão para outros usos, como a pecuária. A ideia da concessão florestal é “ceder” territórios sob forte pressão de invasões para empresas privadas administrarem, à condição de gerarem o menor impacto possível na floresta e seus ecossistemas.   Essa solução surgiu em 2006 na tentativa de frear a disparada da devastação no Brasil, principalmente em áreas públicas federais, onde o governo havia perdido o controle das atividades ilegais. A ideia central é que a atuação de uma empresa nessas regiões, de difícil acesso, contribua para preservar o conjunto de uma grande área de floresta, e movimente a economia local. Os contratos duram 40 anos e incluem uma série de regras e obrigações socioambientais, com o aval do Ibama (Instituto Brasileiro de Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis). A madeira então recebe um selo de sustentabilidade emitido por organismos reconhecidos internacionalmente – o principal deles é o FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).  Atualmente, 23 concessões florestais estão em operação pelo país. "Qualquer intervenção na floresta gera algum impacto. Mas com a regulamentação do manejo florestal e quando ele é bem feito em campo, você minimiza os impactos, porque a floresta tropical tem um poder de regeneração e crescimento muito grandes”, explica Leonardo Sobral, diretor da área de Florestas e Restauração do Imaflora (Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola), parceiro do FSC no Brasil.     "O que a gente observa, principalmente através de imagens de satélite, é que em algumas regiões que são muito pressionadas e que têm muito desmatamento no entorno, a única área de floresta que restou são florestas que estão sob concessão. Na Amazônia florestal sobre pressão, que é onde está concentrada a atividade ilegal predatória, existem florestas que estão na iminência de serem desmatadas. É onde entendemos que as concessões precisam acontecer, para ela valer mais em pé do que derrubada”, complementa.  Manejo florestal em Terra Santa Na região do Pará onde a mata é mais preservada, no oeste do Estado, a madeireira Ebata é a principal beneficiada de uma concessão em vigor na Floresta Nacional de Saracá-Taquera, entre os municípios de Oriximiná, Faro e Terra Santa. Numa área de 30 mil hectares, todas as árvores de interesse comercial e protegidas foram catalogadas. Para cada espécie, um volume máximo de unidades pode ser extraído por ano – em média, 30 metros cúbicos de madeira por hectare, o que corresponde a 3 a 6 árvores em um espaço equivalente a um campo de futebol. A floresta foi dividida em 30 “pedaços” e, a cada ano, uma área diferente é explorada, enquanto as demais devem permanecer intocadas.   O plano prevê que, três décadas após uma extração, a fatia terá se regenerado naturalmente. "Para atividades extrativistas como madeira, a castanha do Brasil ou outros produtos que vem da floresta, a gente depende que ela continue sendo floresta”, afirma Leônidas Dahás, diretor de Meio Ambiente e Produtos Florestais da empresa. "Se em um ano, a minha empresa extrair errado, derrubar mais do que ela pode, eu não vou ter no ano que vem. Daqui a 30 anos, eu também não vou ter madeira, então eu dependo que a floresta continue existindo.”   Estado incapaz de fiscalizar Unidades de Conservação A atuação da empresa é fiscalizada presencialmente ou via satélite. A movimentação da madeira também é controlada – cada tora é registrada e os seus deslocamentos devem ser informados ao Serviço Florestal Brasil (SFB), que administra as concessões no país.  "Uma floresta que não tem nenhum dono, qualquer um vira dono. Só a presença de alguma atividade, qualquer ela que seja, já inibe a grande parte de quem vai chegar. Quando não tem ninguém, fica fácil acontecer qualquer coisa – qualquer coisa mesmo”, observa Dahás.  A bióloga Joice Ferreira, pesquisadora na Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, se especializou no tema do desenvolvimento sustentável da região e nos impactos do manejo florestal. Num contexto de incapacidade do Estado brasileiro de monitorar todo o território e coibir as ilegalidades na Amazônia, ela vê a alternativa das concessões florestais como “promissora” – embora também estejam sujeitas a irregularidades. Os casos de fraudes na produção de madeira certificada não são raros no país.   “Você tem unidades de conservação que são enormes, então é um desafio muito grande, porque nós não temos funcionários suficientes, ou nós não temos condições de fazer esse monitoramento como deveria ser feito”, frisa. “Geralmente, você tem, em cada unidade de conservação, cinco funcionários.”  Em contrapartida do manejo sustentável, a madeireira transfere porcentagens dos lucros da comercialização da madeira para o Instituo Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) e o SFB, que distribuem os recursos para o Estado do Pará e os municípios que abrigam as Flonas, como são chamadas as Florestas Nacionais.   Populações no interior da Amazônia sofrem de carências básicas O dinheiro obrigatoriamente deve financiar projetos de promoção do uso responsável das florestas, conservação ambiental e melhora da gestão dos recursos naturais na região. Todo o processo é longo, mas foi assim que a cidade de Terra Santa já recebeu mais de R$ 800 mil em verbas adicionais – um aporte que faz diferença no orçamento da pequena localidade de 19 mil habitantes, onde carências graves, como saneamento básico, água encanada e acesso à luz, imperam.  "Quase 7 mil pessoas que moram na zona rural não têm tem acesso à energia elétrica, que é o básico. Outro item básico, que é o saneamento, praticamente toda a população ribeirinha e que mora em terra firme não têm acesso à água potável”, detalha a secretária municipal de Meio Ambiente, Samária Letícia Carvalho Silva. "Elas consomem água do igarapé. Quando chega num período menos chuvoso, a gente tem muita dificuldade de acesso a água, mesmo estando numa área com maior bacia de água doce do mundo. Nas áreas de várzea, enche tudo, então ficam misturados os resíduos de sanitários e eles tomam aquela mesma água. É uma situação muito grave na região.”   Com os repasses da concessão florestal, a prefeitura construiu a sede da Secretaria Municipal do Meio Ambiente, distribuiu nas comunidades 50 sistemas de bombeamento de água movido a energia solar e painéis solares para o uso doméstico. A família da agente de saúde Taila Pinheiro, na localidade de Paraíso, foi uma das beneficiadas. A chegada das placas fotovoltaicas zerou um custo de mais de R$ 300 por mês que eles tinham com gerador de energia.    "Antes disso, era lamparina mesmo. Com o gerador, a gente só ligava de noite, por um período de no máximo duas horas. Era só para não jantar no escuro, porque era no combustível e nós somos humildes, né?”, conta. "A gente não conseguia ficar com a energia de dia."  A energia solar possibilitou à família ter confortos básicos da cidade: armazenar alimentos na geladeira, carregar o celular, assistir televisão. Um segundo projeto trouxe assistência técnica e material para a instalação de hortas comunitárias. A venda do excedente de hortaliças poderá ser uma nova fonte de renda para a localidade, que sobrevive da agricultura de subsistência e benefícios sociais do governo.  "A gente já trabalhava com horta, só que a gente plantava de uma maneira totalmente errada. Até misturar o adubo de maneira errada a gente fazia, por isso a gente acabava matando as nossas plantas”, observa. “A gente quer avançar, para melhorar não só a nossa alimentação, mas levar para a mesa de outras pessoas."  Acesso à água beneficia agricultura Na casa de Maria Erilda Guimarães, em Urupanã, foi o acesso mais fácil à água que foi celebrado: ela e o marido foram sorteados para receber um kit de bombeamento movido a energia solar, com o qual extraem a água do poço ou do próprio rio, com bem menos esforço braçal. No total, quase 50 quilômetros de captura de água pelo sistema foram distribuídos nas comunidades mais carentes do município.    O casal completa a renda da aposentadoria com a venda de bebidas e paçoca caseira para os visitantes no período da estação seca na Amazônia, a partir de agosto. O marido de Maria Erilda, Antônio Conte Pereira, também procura fazer serviços esporádicos – sem este complemento, os dois “passariam fome”.  "Foi um sucesso para nós, que veio mandado pelo governo, não sei bem por quem foi, pela prefeitura, não sei. Mas sei que foi muito bom”, diz Pereira. "Não serviu só para nós, serviu para muitos aqui. A gente liga para as casas, dá água para os vizinhos, que também já sofreram muito carregando água do igarapé, da beira do rio." Urupanã é uma praia de rio da região, onde o solo arenoso dificulta o plantio agrícola. No quintal de casa, os comunitários cultivam mandioca e frutas como mamão, abacaxi e caju. O bombeamento automático da água facilitou o trabalho e possibilitou ampliar o plantio de especiarias como andiroba e cumaru, valorizados pelas propriedades medicinais. "Para muitas famílias que ainda precisavam bater no poço, foi muito legal. A gente conseguiu manter as nossas plantas vivas no verão”, conta Francisco Neto de Almeida, presidente da Associação de Moradores de Urupanã, onde vivem 38 famílias.  'Fazer isso é crime?' A prefeitura reconhece: seria difícil expandir rapidamente a rede elétrica e o acesso à água sem os recursos da madeira e dos minérios da floresta – outra atividade licenciada na Flona de Saracá-Taquera é a extração de bauxita, pela Mineração Rio do Norte.    Entretanto, o vice-prefeito Lucivaldo Ribeiro Batista considera a partilha injusta: para ele, o município não se beneficia o suficiente das riquezas da “Flona”, que ocupa um quarto da superfície total de Terra Santa. Para muitos comunitários, a concessão florestal e a maior fiscalização ambiental na região estrangularam a capacidade produtiva dos pequenos agricultores.  "Existe esse conflito. Hoje, se eu pudesse dizer quais são os vilões dos moradores que estão em torno e dentro da Flona, são os órgãos de fiscalização federal, que impedem um pouco eles de produzirem”, constata ele, filiado ao Partido Renovação Democrática (PRD), de centro-direita. "E, por incrível que pareça, as comunidades que estão dentro da Flona são as que mais produzem para gente, porque é onde estão os melhores solos. Devido todos esses empecilhos que têm, a gente não consegue produzir em larga escala”, lamenta. A secretária de Meio Ambiente busca fazer um trabalho de esclarecimento da população sobre o que se pode ou não fazer nos arredores da floresta protegida. Para ela, a concessão teria o potencial de impulsionar as técnicas de manejo florestal sustentável pelas próprias comunidades dos arredores de Sacará-Taquera. Hoje, entretanto, os comunitários não participam desse ciclo virtuoso, segundo Samária Carvalho Silva.    “Eles pedem ajuda. ‘Fazer isso não é crime?'. Eles têm muito essa necessidade de apoio técnico. Dizem: 'Por que que eu não posso tirar a madeira para fazer minha casa e a madeireira pode?'", conta ela. "Falta muito uma relação entre esses órgãos e as comunidades”, avalia.    Há 11 anos, a funcionária pública Ilaíldes Bentes da Silva trabalhou no cadastramento das famílias que moravam dentro das fronteiras da Flona – que não são demarcadas por cercas, apenas por placas esparsas, em uma vasta área de 440 mil hectares. Ela lembra que centenas de famílias foram pegas de surpresa pelo aumento da fiscalização de atividades que, até então, eram comuns na região.  "Tem muita gente aqui que vive da madeira, mas a maioria dessas madeiras eram tiradas ilegalmente. Com o recadastramento, muitas famílias pararam”, recorda-se. “Para as pessoas que vivem dessa renda, foi meio difícil aceitar, porque é difícil viver de farinha, de tucumã, de castanha e outras coisas colhidas nessa região do Pará.” Kelyson Rodrigues da Silva, marido de Ilaíldes, acrescenta que “até para fazer roça tinha que pedir permissão para derrubar” a mata. “Hoje, eu entendo, mas tem gente que ainda não entende. O ribeirinho, para ele fazer uma casa, tem que derrubar árvore, e às vezes no quintal deles não tem. Então eles vão tirar de onde?”, comenta. “Quando vem a fiscalização, não tem como explicar, não tem documento.” Espalhar o manejo sustentável A ecóloga Joice Ferreira, da Embrapa, salienta que para que o fim do desmatamento deixe de ser uma promessa, não bastará apenas fiscalizar e punir os desmatadores, mas sim disseminar as práticas de uso e manejo sustentável da floresta também pelas populações mais vulneráveis – um desafio de longo prazo.  “Não adianta chegar muito recurso numa comunidade se ela não está preparada para recebê-lo. Muitas vezes, as empresas chegam como se não houvesse nada ali e já não tivesse um conhecimento, mas ele existe”, ressalta. “As chances de sucesso vão ser muito maiores se as empresas chegarem interessadas em dialogar, interagir e aumentar as capacidades do que já existe. Isso é fundamental para qualquer iniciativa de manejo sustentável ter sucesso”, pontua a pesquisadora.   Um dos requisitos dos contratos de concessão florestal é que a mão de obra seja local. A madeireira Ebata reconhece que, no começo, teve dificuldades para contratar trabalhadores só da cidade, mas aos poucos a capacitação de moradores deu resultados. A empresa afirma que 90% dos empregados são de Terra Santa.  “No início da minha carreira em serraria, eu trabalhei em madeireiras que trabalhavam de forma irregular. Me sinto realizado por hoje estar numa empresa que segue as normas, segue as leis corretamente”, afirma Pablio Oliveira da Silva, gerente de produção da filial. Segundo ele, praticamente tudo nas toras é aproveitado, e os resíduos são vendidos para duas olarias que fabricam tijolos. Cerca de 10% da madeira é comercializada no próprio município ou destinada a doações para escolas, centros comunitários ou igrejas.  Na prefeitura, a secretária Samária Silva gostaria de poder ir além: para ela, a unidade de beneficiamento de madeira deveria ser na própria cidade, e não em Belém. Da capital paraense, o produto é vendido para os clientes da Ebapa, principalmente na Europa.   “O município é carente de empreendedorismo e de fontes de renda. A gente praticamente só tem a prefeitura e a mineração”, explica. “Essas madeireiras, ao invés de ter todo esse processo produtivo aqui... ‘Mas o custo é alto. A gente mora numa área isolada, só tem acesso por rios e isso tem um custo'. Mas qual é a compensação ambiental que vai ficar para o município, da floresta? Essas pessoas estão aqui vivendo, o que vai ficar para elas?”, indaga. Foco das concessões é conter o desmatamento O engenheiro florestal Leonardo Sobral, do Imaflora, constata que, de forma geral no Brasil, as comunidades locais não se sentem suficientemente incluídas nas soluções de preservação das florestas, como as concessões. Uma das razões é a falta de conhecimento sobre o que elas são, como funcionam e, principalmente, qual é o seu maior objetivo: conter o desmatamento e as atividades predatórias nas Unidades de Conservação.  Em regiões carentes como no interior do Pará, esses grandes empreendimentos podem frustrar expectativas. “São problemas sociais do Brasil como um todo. Uma concessão florestal não vai conseguir endereçar todos os problemas”, salienta.    Esses desafios também simbolizam um dos aspectos mais delicados das negociações internacionais sobre as mudanças climáticas: o financiamento. Como diminuir a dependência econômica da floresta num contexto em que faltam verbas para atender às necessidades mais básicas das populações que vivem na Amazônia? Como desenvolver uma sociobioeconomia compatível com a floresta se as infraestruturas para apoiar a comercialização dos produtos não-madeireiros são tão deficientes?   “O recurso que chega do financiamento climático pode ser muito importante para fazer a conservação. Nós temos um exemplo bem claro, que é do Fundo Amazônia”, lembra Joice Ferreira. “Agora, nós temos ainda uma lição a aprender que é como fazer esse link com as comunidades locais, que têm o seu tempo próprio, os seus interesses próprios. Ainda não sabemos como fazer esse diálogo de forma justa.” Entre os projetos financiados pelo Fundo Amazônia, alguns destinam-se especificamente a melhorar as condições sociais das populações do bioma, como os programas da Fundação Amazônia Sustentável e o Sanear Amazônia.   Na COP30, em Belém, o Brasil vai oficializar uma proposta de financiamento internacional específico para a conservação das florestas tropicais do planeta, inspirada no Fundo Amazônia, mas incluindo um mecanismo de investimentos que gere dividendos. A ideia central do Fundo Florestas Tropicais Para Sempre (TFFF, na sigla em inglês) é prever recursos perenes para beneficiar os países que apresentem resultados na manutenção e ampliação das áreas de mata preservadas.  “Somos constantemente cobrados por depender apenas de dinheiro público para essa proteção, mas o Fundo Florestas Tropicais para Sempre representa uma virada de chave”, disse a ministra do Meio Ambiente e Mudança do Clima do Brasil, Marina Silva, em um evento em Nova York, em meados de setembro. “Não é doação, e sim uma iniciativa que opera com lógica de mercado. É uma nova forma de financiar a conservação, com responsabilidade compartilhada e visão de futuro", complementou a ministra. * Esta é a segunda reportagem de uma série do podcast Planeta Verde da RFI na Amazônia. As reportagens, parcialmente financiadas pelo Imaflora, vão ao ar todas as quintas-feiras até a COP30 em Belém, em novembro. 

In this episode of the Greyhorn Pagans podcast, I had the pleasure to interview Sadhu Dah, a shaman and exorcist with a rich background in spirituality and indigenous practices. We discuss Sadhu's journey through various spiritual traditions, his experiences with death and impermanence, and the complexities of Thai spiritual practices, including the concept of egregores. The conversation delves into the nature of demonic entities, possession, and the psychological manipulation involved in paranormal phenomena.Sadhu emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high frequency of love and positivity to combat negative energies and shares insights on how fear can be used as a tool by these entities.Takeaways:Sadhu Dah is an exorcist and shaman with a diverse spiritual background.Experiences with death have profoundly shaped his understanding of life.Thai spiritual practices often blend animism with Buddhism.Egregores are constructs born from collective fear and imagination.Demonic entities are cunning and often manipulate human emotions.Maintaining a high frequency of love can protect against negative energies.Fear is a tool used by entities to gain rapport and control.Sadhu emphasizes the importance of mental health in dealing with paranormal phenomena.The conversation highlights the interconnectedness of various spiritual practices across cultures.Where to find the Tribe of the Greyhorn Pagans:https://www.greyhornpagans.com/https://linktr.ee/firefaePodcast recorded with Riverside Studios:https://www.riverside.fm/?via=stijnfawkesMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://share.uppbeat.io/3sdb032die4gMusic used:Intro: Runes of the Ancients by Queen of blades -- https://www.bandlab.com/roamingdarkness_Outro: Viking/Medieval Theme by M-Murray -- https://freesound.org/s/723202/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/greyhorn-pagans-podcast--6047518/support.Make sure to share this podcast and subscribe to our Patreon for bonus content and more

hånd uden et ord.En: When he reached Astrid, she took his hand without a word.Da: Han smilte skævt tilbage og sluttede sig til dansen.En: He smiled wryly back and joined the dance.Da: Efter dansen stod Lars, Astrid og Mikkel tilbage, stadig let forpustede og grinende.En: After the dance, Lars, Astrid, and Mikkel stood back, still slightly out of breath and laughing.Da: "Måske... måske tager jeg fejl," sagde Lars blidt, "måske er traditioner vigtigere, end jeg troede."En: "Maybe... maybe I was wrong," Lars said gently, "maybe traditions are more important than I thought."Da: Astrid nikkede, tilfreds.En: Astrid nodded, satisfied.Da: De var måske ikke altid enige, men i dag havde de fundet en fælles grund.En: They might not always agree, but today they had found common ground.Da: De tre gik hjem ad grusvejen, natten nærmede sig, og stjernerne begyndte at glimte.En: The three walked home along the gravel road, night approaching, and the stars beginning to twinkle.Da: "Det var en god

Transcript:Da: Der kom en gryende morgen i sensommeren, og solens stråler sneg sig stille ind gennem vinduet i kollegieværelset.En: There came a dawning morning in late summer, and the sun's rays quietly slipped in through the window of the kollegieværelse.Da: Høje stabler af bøger fyldte hylderne, og trægulvet knirkede let under Lars' fødder, mens han trådte varsomt hen til sit skrivebord.En: Tall stacks of books filled the shelves, and the wooden floor creaked slightly under Lars' feet as he trod carefully to his desk.Da: Der var lugten af friskbrygget kaffe i luften, et tegn på de mange sene nætter, han havde brugt på at forberede sig.En: The scent of freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air, a sign of the many late nights he had spent preparing.Da: Lars stod foran spejlet,

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 30, 2025 is: doppelgänger • DAH-pul-gang-er • noun A doppelgänger is someone who looks very much like another person. In literary use, doppelgänger refers to a ghost that closely resembles a living person. // I saw your doppelgänger at the movies yesterday and almost waved hello before I realized they weren't you. // In one of the creepiest parts of the story, the main character is haunted by a doppelgänger. See the entry > Examples: “When [Timothée] Chalamet himself briefly appeared at his own [celebrity look-alike] contest, popping up between two of his doppelgängers, the crowd was thrilled, but the contestants were somewhat diminished, all of the discrepancies emphasized between his face and their own.” — Amanda Hess, The New York Times, 22 Nov. 2024 Did you know? According to German folklore, all living creatures have an identical, but invisible, spirit double. These second selves are distinct from ghosts, which appear only after death, and are sometimes described as the spiritual opposite or negative of their living counterparts. English speakers borrowed both the concept of the doppelgänger and the German word for it (from doppel-, meaning “double,” and -gänger, meaning “goer”) in the mid-1800s, but today the English word typically has a more quotidian use, referring simply to a living person who closely resembles another living person.

On this week's episode of Critical Care Time, we revisit ARDS... sort of! We are joined again by Dr. Whittney Warren & for the first time by Denitza Blagev for a dynamic discussion on ARDS imitators: Things that looks like ARDS but aren't technically ARDS - or are they? It's a bit of a confusing landscape as you'll see, where the lines are blurred and things get a bit murky. We'll unpack diagnoses like EVALI, DAH, AIP and more in the context of ARDS and help you guys come up with a framework for the "ARDS" patient who doesn't seem to respond to the tried and true approaches we discussed earlier this year on our ARDS Epic-sode!. As always, give it a listen and let us know what you think! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Transcript:Da: Det var en lys dag i begyndelsen af foråret i København.En: It was a bright day at the beginning of spring in København.Da: Fuglene kvidrede svagt, og træerne begyndte at få små, grønne knopper.En: The birds chirped softly, and the trees began to show small, green buds.Da: Indenfor i det gamle kulturhus, som var midlertidigt omdannet til et valglokale, summede det af aktivitet.En: Inside the old cultural center, which had been temporarily transformed into a polling station, there was a buzz of activity.Da: Mennesker strømmede ind for at afgive deres stemme til det afgørende valg.En: People were streaming in to cast their votes in the decisive election.Da: Nikolaj stod ved indgangen og delte flyers ud.En: Nikolaj stood at the entrance handing out flyers.Da: Hans øjne brændte af ild og beslutsomhed.En: His eyes burned with fire and determination.Da: Han havde længe ventet på denne dag, hvor alt det hårde arbejde og de mange frivillige timer skulle betale sig.En: He had long waited for this day, when all the hard work and countless volunteer hours would pay off.Da: Hans kandidat stod for de forandringer, som Nikolaj mente var nødvendige i deres samfund.En: His candidate stood for the changes that Nikolaj believed were necessary in their community.Da: Sofia, Nikolajs ældre søster, var også til stede.En: Sofia, Nikolaj's older sister, was also present.Da: Hun holdt et par skridts afstand og iagttog broderen med en blanding af stolthed og bekymring.En: She stood a few steps back, observing her brother with a mixture of pride and concern.Da: "Nikolaj, husk at det ikke kun handler om at vinde," sagde hun blidt.En: "Nikolaj, remember it's not just about winning," she said gently.Da: "Det handler også om, hvordan man spiller spillet."En: "It's also about how you play the game."Da: Emil, som repræsenterede den modsatte kampagne, gik forbi.En: Emil, who represented the opposing campaign, walked by.Da: Han smilte skævt til Nikolaj, og der var en kortvarig spænding i luften.En: He gave Nikolaj a crooked smile, and there was a brief tension in the air.Da: "Du er ihærdig, men er du klar til konsekvenserne, hvis resultaterne ikke ender til din fordel?"En: "You're persistent, but are you ready for the consequences if the results don't turn in your favor?"Da: drillede Emil.En: teased Emil.Da: Nikolaj svarede ikke, men hans hænder knyttedes en anelse.En: Nikolaj did not reply, but his hands clenched slightly.Da: Hen mod eftermiddagen, mens stemmerne blev talt op, begyndte rygter om uregelmæssigheder at cirkulere.En: Toward the afternoon, as the votes were being counted, rumors of irregularities began to circulate.Da: Nikolaj kendte betydningen af gennemsigtighed og retfærdighed, så han samledes med andre aktivister og talte med Sofia.En: Nikolaj knew the importance of transparency and fairness, so he gathered with other activists and spoke with Sofia.Da: "Vi skal gribe ind," sagde han bestemt.En: "We need to intervene," he said resolutely.Da: "Hør nu, lillebror," Sofia svarede roligt.En: "Listen, little brother," Sofia replied calmly.Da: "Måske kan vi finde en løsning uden konfrontation."En: "Maybe we can find a solution without confrontation."Da: Nikolaj tøvede, men da resultaterne blev annonceret og kaos opstod, trådte han frem.En: Nikolaj hesitated, but when the results were announced and chaos erupted, he stepped forward.Da: I midten af den forvirrede menneskemængde begyndte Nikolaj at tale.En: In the midst of the confused crowd, Nikolaj began to speak.Da: "Vi kræver retfærdighed og klarhed.En: "We demand justice and clarity.Da: Vi stoler på folket, men det kræver, at de også kan stole på os."En: We trust the people, but it requires that they can also trust us."Da: Hans ord genlød gennem rummet og fangede alles opmærksomhed.En: His words resonated throughout the room and captured everyone's attention.Da: Det mod, han udviste, førte til en aftale om en omtælling af stemmerne.En: The courage he showed led to an agreement for a recount of the votes.Da: Selvom ingen vidste, hvordan valget ville ende, havde Nikolajs opfordring til ærlighed skabt respekt.En: Although no one knew how the election would end, Nikolaj's call for honesty had garnered respect.Da: Senere samme uge blev han inviteret til møder med ledere fra begge sider.En: Later that week, he was invited to meetings with leaders from both sides.Da: Med Sofia ved sin side, gik han exit fra mødet, og kiggede på hende.En: With Sofia by his side, he exited the meeting and looked at her.Da: "Tak, du havde ret.En: "Thank you, you were right.Da: Der er styrke i at lytte og samarbejde," sagde han.En: There is strength in listening and collaborating," he said.Da: Sofia nikkede og smilede.En: Sofia nodded and smiled.Da: "Forandring sker et skridt ad gangen, Nik."En: "Change happens one step at a time, Nik."Da: Og som foråret blidt trængte sig på, vidste Nikolaj, at hans rejse lige var begyndt.En: And as spring gently pushed its way in, Nikolaj knew his journey had just begun.Da: Han var klar til at lytte, lære og kæmpe videre, men nu med en dybere forståelse for diplomatiens kraft.En: He was ready to listen, learn, and keep fighting, but now with a deeper understanding of the power of diplomacy.

covered by a gray veil, and cold winter winds danced around the bare trees along the waterfront.Da: Regndråberne begyndte forsigtigt at falde, idet Mikkel stod ved den Lille Havfrue.En: Raindrops began to cautiously fall as Mikkel stood by the Lille Havfrue.Da: Den ikoniske statue stirrede ud over vandet, som om hun kendte hemmeligheden til evig inspiration, som Mikkel så længe havde søgt.En: The iconic statue gazed out over the water as if she knew the secret to everlasting inspiration, which Mikkel had long been searching for.Da: Han kom fra Aarhus, en kunstner på jagt efter noget nyt.En: He came from Aarhus, an artist on a quest for something new.Da: Noget, der kunne bryde hans kreative blokering.En: Something that could break his creative block.Da: Håbet var, at den travle storby kunne vække noget i ham.En: The hope was that the bustling metropolis would awaken something within him.Da: Men indtil videre var det kun en længsel efter fællesskab i den store crowd.En: But so far, it was only a longing for companionship amidst the large crowd.Da: Da regnen tog til, søgte Mikkel tilflugt under et lille lysthus nær havfruen.En: As the rain intensified, Mikkel sought refuge under a small gazebo near the mermaid.Da: Han skuttede sig for kulden og så, hvordan få turister hastede mod caféerne i nærheden.En: He shivered from the cold and watched as a few tourists hurried towards the nearby cafes.Da: Ind kom Sofie, en lokal journalist med stærkt røde kinder fra kulden.En: In came Sofie, a local journalist with cheeks flushed red from the cold.Da: Hun var i gang med en artikel om vinterturisme og havde brug for en vinkel, der bragte det menneskelige aspekt frem.En: She was working on an article about winter tourism and needed an angle that highlighted the human aspect.Da: Hun satte sig ved siden af Mikkel, våde dråber dryppede fra hendes vinterfrakke.En: She sat next to Mikkel, wet droplets dripping from her winter coat.Da: "Ret koldt i dag, ikke?"En: "Pretty cold today, isn't it?"Da: sagde hun med et venligt smil.En: she said with a friendly smile.Da: "Ja, men det er lidt hyggeligt også," svarede Mikkel og skubbede sine hænder dybere ned i frakkens lommer.En: "Yes, but it's a bit cozy too," replied Mikkel, pushing his hands deeper into his coat pockets.Da: De begyndte at snakke, først om regnen, så om København.En: They began to talk, first about the rain, then about København.Da: Mikkel fortalte, hvordan han kæmpede med sin kunst.En: Mikkel told her how he was struggling with his art.Da: Sofie lyttede opmærksomt, hendes hjerte bankede hårdere.En: Sofie listened attentively, her heart pounding harder.Da: Hun genkendte den ensomhed, han beskrev.En: She recognized the loneliness he described.Da: "Jeg skriver ofte om folk, men nogle gange føler jeg, at jeg kun kradser i overfladen," indrømmede Sofie.En: "I often write about people, but sometimes I feel like I'm only scratching the surface," Sofie admitted.Da: Hun havde

du lærer, med alle."En: "Take it, if you promise to share what you learn with everyone."Da: Freja, med hjertet bankende af glæde, tog bogen forsigtigt fra hylden.En: With her heart pounding with joy,

Da Højesteret i USA for nyligt afsagde en opsigtsvækkende dom, der fastslog, at en præsident i vid udstrækning er immun over for retsforfølgelse, splittede det igen nationen. Biden mente, at den republikansk-dominerede ret derved beskytter Trump. Mads Fuglede og David Trads har inviteret René Offersen, dansk topadvokat, i studiet for at give perspektiv. Han mener ikke, at afgørelsen er kontroversiel. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 27, 2024 is: docile • DAH-sul • adjective Docile is used to describe those who are easily taught, led, or managed. // Though the professor feared a rowdy incoming class, he found that his new students were docile and eager to learn. See the entry > Examples: "An homage to David Cronenberg's 2005 film 'A History of Violence,' 'Leo' released on Oct. 19. The action-thriller follows a docile cafe owner (Vijay) who is incited to return to his violent past." — Naman Ramachandran, Variety, 23 Oct. 2023 Did you know? Docile students have always made teaching easier than it otherwise would be. Today calling students "docile" indicates that they aren't trouble-makers, but there's more than just good behavior connecting docility to teachability. The original meaning of docile is more to the point: "readily absorbing something taught." "The docile mind may soon thy precepts know," rendered Ben Jonson, for example, in a 17th-century translation of the Roman poet Horace. Docile comes from the Latin verb docēre, which means "to teach." Other descendants of docēre include doctrine (which can mean "something that is taught"), document (an early meaning of which was "instruction"), and doctor and docent (both of which can refer to teachers).

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 19, 2023 is: indomitable • in-DAH-muh-tuh-bul • adjective Indomitable is a formal word used to describe something that is impossible to defeat or discourage. // Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the United States, and honors the indomitable spirit of African Americans past and present fighting for justice, liberation, and the fulfillment of this nation's ideals. // Her spirit remained indomitable even in the face of tremendous adversity. See the entry > Examples: “In a life that has now marked 95 years in a country where she was born with every disadvantage except for the love and support of her family and her own indomitable determination to live fully for others, Opal Lee has changed her community. She has changed this state. She has changed our country. We are all better because she has been among us. … Through her life, and despite the terror visited upon her family, Ms. Opal has cherished and shared and spread the love and joy of Juneteenth whenever she could. And it is much to her credit that last year it became the country's 11th national holiday. She is celebrated now as the grandmother of Juneteenth. And it is what the nation knows of her.” — editorial, The Dallas Morning News, 2 Jan. 2022 Did you know? At five punchy syllables, indomitable is an imposing word, so it's inevitable that some are perplexed by this synonym for impregnable. But it's not so tough once you break it into parts. The prefix in- (spelled im- before b, m, and p) means “not” in an innumerable collection of English words. (How many have you counted so far?) The common suffix -able means “capable of, fit for, or worthy of.” Combine those two English affixes with the Latin verb domitare (“to tame”), and voila: indomitable. Indomitable was first used in English as a synonym of wild, describing—appropriately enough—things that cannot be tamed, but over time the wildness associated with indomitable developed into a specific kind of invulnerable strength.
