In aflevering 6 van de PZC Voetbal Podcast praten sportjournalist Barry van der Hooft en presentator Juriën Dam je bij over de afgelopen Zeeuwse voetbalweek. Barry vertelt onder meer over de waarschuwing die hij uitdeelde. Dat laatste gebeurde in Goes, waar een toeschouwer zijn duidelijke mening over het Nederlands elftal en Jan Paul van Hecke ventileerde. Op eigen veld won Goes van Scheveningen, waardoor het van de hatelijke nul af is. Ondanks de matige competitiestart oogt de ranglijst zo slecht nog niet voor de ploeg van trainer Giovanni Siereveld. Kloetinge won eerder deze week in de KNVB beker van DVO, en volgens een journalist van De Limburger werken de Bevelanders wel met een enorme ruime begroting. Er wordt gesproken over de topper tegen Blauw Geel’38, de nieuwe fase waarin Kloetinge zit en over het scorend vermogen. Hoek speelde in een allesbehalve saaie wedstrijd met 0-0 gelijk tegen Jong Sparta. De Zeeuwse doelman Rik Suur blonk uit bij de Rotterdammers en hem laten we ook aan het woord. De Spartanen spelen al sinds 2016 op het niveau van de tweede divisie. Toen maakten twee Zeeuwen deel uit van die selectie, en ook twee spelers die later iets minder goed in het nieuws kwamen. Ook gaat het nog over Zeeuwse dames in de Eredivisie, de warming-up die Barry ooit liep in Spakenburg en ook komen ook de namen van Marvin Young, Memphis Depay en Alexander Büttner voorbij.Support the show: https://krant.nl/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

(01:30) Deze week organiseerde China een spectaculaire militaire parade om het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog te herdenken. Beelden van de militaire parade werden massaal gedeeld door de staatsmedia. Hoe zet China dat oorlogsverleden in voor het huidige Chinese zelfbeeld? Daarover te gast is China-kenner Manya Koetse.     (14:50) De shortlist van de Libris Geschiedenis Prijs 2025    (23:11) De column van Sana Valiulina.    (29:43) Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away en The Boy and the Heron, een paar filmtitels uit dezelfde stal: die van Studio Ghibli. Deze beroemde animatiestudio is 40 jaar, en daarom zijn de films in Nederland in de bioscoop te zien. Wat is de betekenis van deze Japanse studio geweest, en hoe past het in de geschiedenis van anime? Japanoloog Otis Eversteijn vertelt.  (38:45) Deze week krijgen we recensies van Sanne Frequin. Zij bespreekt twee historische boeken en een tentoonstelling:  Floris V ontvoerd en vermoord - een bundel ingeleid door Wim van Anrooij  De middeleeuwen - Dan Jones (vert. Roelof Posthuma)  Artus Quellinus - Beeldhouwer van Amsterdam - tentoonstelling in het Paleis op de Dam    (52:53) Het was de droom van Adolf Hitler; het bouwen van een Führermuseum. Hitler die was afgewezen door de kunstacademie was vastbesloten het grootste museum ter wereld te bouwen. De tot nu toe weinig bekende Duits kunsthistoricus Erhard Göpel speelde een sleutelrol bij het wegroven van de kunst uit bezette gebieden. Wie was Göpel? Hoe slaagde hij erin om schilderijen die de nazi's op het oog hadden te ontfutselen?  Cultuurwetenschapper Ruud Breteler is te gast.  (01:05:05) Deze week de OVT-doc: ‘De Vrolijke Vernietiging' is een project van kunstenaar Maurice Hermans waarin is te zien hoe traumatisch het uitvlakken van de mijngeschiedenis was voor Zuid-Limburg. Er is ‘fantoompijn' in Heerlen, omdat vertrouwde ijkpunten zoals de Lange Jan en de Lange Lies – de hoogste schoorstenen – opeens weg waren en daarmee ook de identiteit van de stad. Hoe kun je verder met een geschiedenis zonder tastbaar houvast?   (01:37:05) Aan de hand van de documentaire De Vrolijke Vernietiging gaan we in gesprek met Casper Gelderblom, wethouder van de Gemeente Heerlen. Veel mensen in deze regio hebben moeite met de energierekening betalen, terwijl de mijnen tijdens de hoogtijdagen van de kolenindustrie recordwinsten behaalden. De burgemeesters willen dat de winsten van de mijnen alsnog terugvloeien naar de regio en hebben de investeerders van de particuliere mijnen een brief gestuurd over de zogenaamde 'ereschuld'.  Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-7-september-2025   (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-7-september-2025%20)

Funeral service for Ronald Billings at Creekside Church, Friday, September 5th, 11:00am-12:00pm CST. In Loving Memory Of Ronald Eugene Billings Welcome & Prayer Pastor Steve Smith Musical Selection “The Old Rugged Cross” — Elizabeth Tenney and Lucia Randazzo Obituary Meribeth Tenney Family Reflections Jesse Tenney Ami Randazzo Alana Gentosi Musical Selection “How Great Thou Art” — Lucia Randazzo Family Reflections Eliana Gentosi Michael Gentosi Striking the Four 5's Final Honors Tony Collins — Clive Fire Department (Retired) Musical Selection “The Doxology” — Ayla and Eliana Gentosi Final Prayer Pastor Steve Smith Graveside Service Rob Randazzo Pallbearers Doug Tenney ~ Jesse Tenney ~ Rick Gentosi Michael Gentosi ~ Rob Randazzo ~ Ricky Randazzo Ronald Eugene Billings was born June 20, 1932 in Albia, Iowa. He was the youngest of six children born to Harrison and Harriet and his birth order earned him the nickname, Babe Billings. Ron was always a hard worker and began his career on a bicycle, delivering groceries before and after school. He graduated from Albia High School in 1950 and immediately enlisted in the army to serve in the Korean War. He enlisted with five of his friends. They always said, "whoever is the last one, turn out the lights." Ron is the last one. Ron was trained as a tank mechanic and experienced combat while in Korea. His brother, Donald, also served in the army and they were together for a short while in Korea. Ron and Betty dated in high school and were married December 26, 1952 while Ron was home on leave. Ron was a devoted husband. They enjoyed 72 years of marriage before Betty went home to Jesus on December 26, 2024. Life without Betty has been a lonely and sad time for Ron and we are thrilled that they are together once again. Following his time in the service, Ron and Betty made their home in Des Moines. He worked in a mill until he was able to get on the Des Moines Fire Department. During his thirty five-year career he moved up through the ranks and retired as a District Chief. Ron took great pride in his work and was well respected in the department. Since his schedule was always 24 on and 48 off, Ron had several side jobs including delivering meat, working for a moving company and home remodeling. Ron was always willing to lend a hand and was never afraid of hard work. Ron and Betty had two daughters, Ronda and Meribeth. He was the best daddy and papa to his girls, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He was always quick to brag about his son-in-laws. He attended countless games, concerts and programs in Des Moines and Lincoln. He tirelessly helped all of us and built things for us, whether that was a garage or an outdoor playset. We have all been so well loved. Ron was a quiet man of faith, which he lived out by serving others. He and Betty both attended Creekside Church. They were a part of the same church family for 70 years where they made life-long friends. Ron was very active and wanted to try new things.

Transcript:Da: Det var en kølig efterårsdag i den danske natur, hvor gyldne blade dækkede jorden som et tæppe.En: It was a cool autumn day in the danske countryside, where golden leaves covered the ground like a blanket.Da: Astrid gik ad den gamle grusvej, hendes skridt lette, men hendes sind tungt af tanker.En: Astrid walked along the old gravel road, her steps light but her mind heavy with thoughts.Da: Hun havde tænkt meget over, hvordan hun kunne bringe sin familie tættere sammen igen.En: She had been thinking a lot about how she could bring her family closer together again.Da: I dag var dagen.En: Today was the day.Da: Høstfestivalen var vendt tilbage til deres lille by, og Astrid havde besluttet sig for at deltage.En: The harvest festival had returned to their small town, and Astrid had decided to participate.Da: Hun kunne dufte kanelsneglene og æbleskiverne langt væk.En: She could smell the kanelsnegle and æbleskiver from afar.Da: Hyggen og glæden fyldte luften.En: The coziness and joy filled the air.Da: Astrid huskede, hvordan hendes familie plejede at glæde sig over denne begivenhed.En: Astrid remembered how her family used to delight in this event.Da: Men efter deres forældres død, var traditionen visnet bort.En: But after their parents' death, the tradition had withered away.Da: Hendes bror Lars mente, det ikke var værd at genoptage.En: Her brother Lars thought it wasn't worth reviving.Da: "Fortiden er fortiden," sagde han tit.En: "The past is the past," he often said.Da: Astrid følte dog noget andet.En: However, Astrid felt differently.Da: Hun henvendte sig til deres yngre fætter, Mikkel.En: She approached their younger cousin, Mikkel.Da: "Vil du ikke med?"En: "Don't you want to come?"Da: spurgte hun med et håb i stemmen.En: she asked, hope in her voice.Da: Mikkel tøvede først, men lod sig til sidst overtale.En: Mikkel hesitated at first, but was finally persuaded.Da: Han huskede også de glade stunder fra barndommen.En: He also remembered the happy times from childhood.Da: De nåede festivalen, hvor børn løb omkring og folk grinede.En: They reached the festival, where children ran around and people laughed.Da: Der var boder med håndlavede genstande, og musikken spillede munterligt i baggrunden.En: There were stalls with handmade items, and music played merrily in the background.Da: Astrid og Mikkel gik hen til den gamle laden, hvor en gruppe dansede folkedanse.En: Astrid and Mikkel went to the old barn, where a group was dancing folk dances.Da: Astrid tog en dyb indånding og gik hen til dem.En: Astrid took a deep breath and walked over to them.Da: Hun trak Mikkel med sig, og snart blev de en del af den snoede række.En: She pulled Mikkel with her, and soon they became part of the winding line.Da: Folk begyndte at lægge mærke til dem.En: People began to notice them.Da: En venlig murmur steg op i skaren.En: A friendly murmur rose from the crowd.Da: Astrid kunne mærke angsten slippe sit tag, erstattet af glæde.En: Astrid could feel the anxiety release its grip, replaced by joy.Da: "Kom nu, Mikkel," råbte hun med et smil.En: "Come on, Mikkel," she shouted with a smile.Da: De dansede, som om de aldrig havde været væk, som om deres forældre stod der med dem.En: They danced as if they had never been away, as if their parents were there with them.Da: Fra kanten af festivalen så Lars til.En: From the edge of the festival, Lars watched.Da: Noget rørte ved hans hjerte, da han så sin søster smile.En: Something touched his heart as he saw his sister smile.Da: Han huskede de dage, hvor de alle havde været sammen.En: He remembered the days when they had all been together.Da: Noget blødt og varmt fandt vej til hans indre.En: Something soft and warm found its way into his heart.Da: Til sidst gav han sig og gik hen imod dem.En: Finally, he gave in and walked towards them.Da: Hans skridt var tøvende, men beslutsomme.En: His steps were hesitant but determined.Da: Da han nåede Astrid, tog hun hans 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 dag," tænkte Astrid og mærkede en ny begyndelse inden i sig.En: "It was a good day," thought Astrid, feeling a new beginning inside herself.Da: De var én familie igen, bundet sammen af minder om fortiden og håb for fremtiden.En: They were one family again, bound together by memories of the past and hope for the future.

Money isn't just about personal comfort—it's the foundation of sustainable social change. In this compelling conversation, attorney and business coach Courtney Teasley challenges conventional thinking about the relationship between financial power and justice work.Teasley introduces her concept of the "DAM community" (Disproportionately Affected Marginalized Minority), explaining how these communities face three critical knowledge gaps: criminal justice literacy, civics, and financial literacy. Without understanding these systems, meaningful change remains elusive. The consequences are devastating—marginalized individuals caught in the criminal justice system face impossible choices between unaffordable legal representation or accepting pleas that permanently damage their economic prospects.Traditional social justice approaches often fall short because they rely on external funding sources who may not understand community needs or may withdraw support when communities fight in ways donors disapprove of. As Teasley powerfully argues, "If we want to make change on a larger scale, we definitely need money in our pockets to do so." This reality demands new approaches to wealth-building beyond traditional homeownership, which remains inaccessible to most Americans under 50.The conversation explores practical pathways forward—monetizing expertise through business ownership, strategic investing with newly accessible platforms, and creating multiple income streams. Teasley emphasizes that business ownership allows marginalized individuals to create both profit and impact, similar to socially-conscious companies like Ben & Jerry's or TOMS. By charging their value while incorporating sliding scales and payment plans, business owners can serve their communities without sacrificing sustainability.For those skeptical of capitalism or concerned about ethical investing, Teasley offers pragmatic wisdom: "Not that we agree with how it is, but this is what it is. We must adapt and create in ways that feel authentic to ourselves." This balance of practical action and principled vision opens possibilities for lasting change that doesn't depend on external control.Ready to explore how financial power can transform social justice work?

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Finding Artistic Inspiration in the Heart of Tivoli Gardens Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-08-20-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Sommeren i København var i fuld gang, og Tivoli Gardens summede af liv.En: The summer in København was in full swing, and Tivoli Gardens buzzed with life.Da: Farverige lys blinkede overalt, mens lyden af ​​musik og latter fyldte den varme aftenluft.En: Colorful lights blinked everywhere, while the sound of music and laughter filled the warm evening air.Da: Freja, en ung kunstner med et sind fuld af tvivl, gik langs stierne med sin ven Lars ved sin side.En: Freja, a young artist with a mind full of doubt, walked along the paths with her friend Lars by her side.Da: "Du skal prøve noget nyt, Freja," sagde Lars, idet han kastede et blik rundt på festivalens mange mennesker.En: "You need to try something new, Freja," said Lars, glancing around at the festival's many people.Da: "Måske finder du inspiration her."En: "Maybe you'll find inspiration here."Da: Freja nikkede, men hendes hjerte lå tungt.En: Freja nodded, but her heart felt heavy.Da: Hun følte sig fanget i en kreativ hul.En: She felt trapped in a creative rut.Da: Hendes pensler lå ubrugte derhjemme, og hun længtes efter at finde gnisten igen.En: Her brushes lay unused at home, and she longed to find the spark again.Da: Pludselig ebbede lyden fra en guitar henover pladsen og greb hendes opmærksomhed.En: Suddenly, the sound of a guitar wafted across the square and caught her attention.Da: En ung musiker, Mikkel, stod på en lille scene, og hans selvsikre spil lyste op i natten.En: A young musician, Mikkel, stood on a small stage, and his confident playing lit up the night.Da: Han virkede som om, han vidste præcis, hvad han ville.En: He seemed to know exactly what he wanted.Da: "Han ser ud til at have styr på det," mumlede Freja til Lars.En: "He looks like he's got it all together," Freja muttered to Lars.Da: "Jeg ville ønske, jeg havde den selvtillid."En: "I wish I had that confidence."Da: Lars smilede.En: Lars smiled.Da: "Måske kan du få noget af hans energi i aften."En: "Maybe you can get some of his energy tonight."Da: Freja følte sig splittet.En: Freja felt torn.Da: Hun kunne forblive her og observere bag de trygge rammer af anonymitet, eller hun kunne følge Lars' råd og række ud efter noget anderledes.En: She could remain here and observe behind the safe confines of anonymity, or she could follow Lars' advice and reach out for something different.Da: Da Mikkels sang nærmede sig sin afslutning, skete noget uventet.En: As Mikkel's song neared its end, something unexpected happened.Da: Deres øjne mødtes, og i det øjeblik følte Freja en uventet bølge af inspiration.En: Their eyes met, and in that moment, Freja felt an unexpected wave of inspiration.Da: Det var som om, Mikkels musik talte direkte til hendes kunstneriske sjæl.En: It was as if Mikkel's music spoke directly to her artistic soul.Da: Efter koncerten rykkede Freja modvilligt frem mod scenen med Lars ved sin side.En: After the concert, Freja reluctantly moved toward the stage with Lars by her side.Da: "Jeg må tale med ham," sagde hun beslutsomt.En: "I have to talk to him," she said decisively.Da: Mikkel stod ved kanten af scenen, omgivet af en lille gruppe tilhørere.En: Mikkel stood at the edge of the stage, surrounded by a small group of listeners.Da: Da han så Freja, brød han ud i et smil.En: When he saw Freja, he broke into a smile.Da: "Hej!En: "Hi!Da: Nød du musikken?"En: Did you enjoy the music?"Da: Freja nikkede, en smule genert.En: Freja nodded, a bit shy.Da: "Ja, den var fantastisk.En: "Yes, it was fantastic.Da: Jeg er kunstner, men føler mig... tom for ideer."En: I'm an artist, but I feel... empty of ideas."Da: Mikkel så tankefuldt på hende.En: Mikkel looked at her thoughtfully.Da: "Vi står alle der på et tidspunkt.En: "We all stand there at some point.Da: Prøv at lade verden inspirere dig – farverne, lydene, historierne fra menneskerne omkring dig."En: Try to let the world inspire you – the colors, the sounds, the stories from the people around you."Da: Freja lyttede, og hun kunne mærke tvivlen løsne sit greb.En: Freja listened, and she could feel the doubt loosen its grip.Da: Deres samtale fortsatte indtil Tivoli Gardens' lys begyndte at dæmpe.En: Their conversation continued until Tivoli Gardens' lights began to dim.Da: Da Freja gik væk fra scenen den aften, mærkede hun en fornyet drivkraft.En: As Freja walked away from the stage that night, she felt a renewed drive.Da: Som om nattens gnistre og Mikkels opmuntring havde plantet en ny gnist.En: It was as if the night's sparks and Mikkel's encouragement had planted a new spark.Da: Hun var klar til at male igen, og ikke længere bange for at træde udenfor sine vante rammer.En: She was ready to paint again, no longer afraid to step outside her familiar boundaries.Da: Lars klemte hendes skulder.En: Lars squeezed her shoulder.Da: "Jeg sagde jo, at du skulle træde ud."En: "I told you, you should step out."Da: Og Freja lo.En: And Freja laughed.Da: "Jeg er glad for, at jeg gjorde det."En: "I'm glad I did."Da: Med et smil vidste hun, at denne aften ville blive begyndelsen på noget nyt og betydningsfuldt.En: With a smile, she knew that this night would be the beginning of something new and meaningful.Da: Hun havde vinden i ryggen og modet til at lade verden blive hendes lærred.En: She had the wind at her back and the courage to let the world become her canvas.

Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede klart gennem de store glasvinduer i det moderne kontor i hjertet af København.En: The sun shone brightly through the large glass windows in the modern office in the heart of København.Da: Det var en typisk travl dag på kontoret, men i dag var der også en snert af sommerens laze i luften.En: It was a typically busy day at the office, but today there was also a hint of summer's laze in the air.Da: Freja, en dedikeret projektleder, sad ved sit skrivebord og stirrede på sin computer.En: Freja, a dedicated project manager, sat at her desk staring at her computer.Da: Hun var dybt i tanker.En: She was deep in thought.Da: Hun havde netop fået tildelt et vigtigt projekt, der skulle være færdigt inden Midsommeren.En: She had just been assigned an important project that was to be completed before Midsommeren.Da: Freja elskede sit arbejde, men det var svært at finde balancen mellem kontorets krav og livet som enlig mor.En: Freja loved her job, but it was hard to find the balance between the demands of the office and life as a single mother.Da: Hendes lille datter, Emma, betød alverden for hende.En: Her little daughter, Emma, meant the world to her.Da: Og Midsommeren var en særlig tid for familien, fyldt med traditioner og samvær.En: And Midsommeren was a special time for the family, filled with traditions and togetherness.Da: Mikkel, en venlig kollega, vidste, hvor hårdt Freja arbejdede.En: Mikkel, a friendly colleague, knew how hard Freja worked.Da: Han så hendes dedikation og beundrede hendes styrke.En: He saw her dedication and admired her strength.Da: Han havde hjulpet Freja i det små, men han ønskede at gøre mere.En: He had helped Freja in small ways, but he wanted to do more.Da: Måske nu var tiden rigtig?En: Perhaps now was the right time?Da: Mikkel kunne mærke, at Freja bar på en tung byrde.En: Mikkel could sense that Freja was carrying a heavy burden.Da: En dag, mens Freja stressede over en stram deadline, bankede Mikkel diskret på døren til hendes kontor.En: One day, while Freja was stressing over a tight deadline, Mikkel discreetly knocked on the door to her office.Da: "Hej Freja," sagde han varmt.En: "Hi Freja," he said warmly.Da: "Hvordan går det med projektet?"En: "How's the project going?"Da: Freja så op med et træt smil.En: Freja looked up with a tired smile.Da: "Det er en udfordring," sagde hun.En: "It's a challenge," she said.Da: "Jeg vil virkelig gerne deltage i Midsommer med Emma og familien."En: "I really want to participate in Midsommer with Emma and the family."Da: Mikkel tøvede et øjeblik, men besluttede sig for at være modig.En: Mikkel hesitated for a moment but decided to be bold.Da: "Freja, jeg kan hjælpe.En: "Freja, I can help.Da: Du behøver ikke klare det hele selv.En: You don't have to do it all by yourself.Da: Lad mig tage nogle af opgaverne."En: Let me take on some tasks."Da: Freja tøvede.En: Freja hesitated.Da: Hun følte en blanding af lettelse og angst ved tanken om at give slip.En: She felt a mix of relief and anxiety at the thought of letting go.Da: "Men hvad hvis noget går galt?"En: "But what if something goes wrong?"Da: spurgte hun forsigtigt.En: she asked cautiously.Da: Mikkel smilede støttende.En: Mikkel smiled supportively.Da: "Vi arbejder sammen.En: "We'll work together.Da: Jeg er her for at hjælpe."En: I'm here to help."Da: Da den kritiske projektdag nærmede sig, opstod der et uventet problem.En: As the critical project day approached, an unexpected problem arose.Da: Freja måtte træffe en beslutning.En: Freja had to make a decision.Da: Hun indså, at forsøget på at klare det hele alene ikke var vejen frem.En: She realized that trying to handle everything alone was not the way forward.Da: Hun tog en dyb indånding og besluttede at stole på Mikkel.En: She took a deep breath and decided to trust Mikkel.Da: Med Mikkels hjælp blev projektet afleveret til tiden.En: With Mikkel's help, the project was delivered on time.Da: Lettet og fuld af taknemmelighed kunne Freja endelig slappe af.En: Relieved and full of gratitude, Freja could finally relax.Da: Hun tog en pause og bad Mikkel om at tage over for en kort stund.En: She took a break and asked Mikkel to take over for a short while.Da: På Midsommer aften var Freja sammen med sin datter og familien under de lange lyse nætter og den varme, milde brise.En: On Midsommer evening, Freja was with her daughter and the family under the long, bright nights and the warm, mild breeze.Da: De pyntede op med blomsterkranse og dansede rundt om bålet.En: They decorated with flower wreaths and danced around the bonfire.Da: Stemningen var fyldt med glæde og sammenhold.En: The atmosphere was filled with joy and camaraderie.Da: Freja kiggede på Mikkel, der havde sluttet sig til festen som en ven.En: Freja looked at Mikkel, who had joined the celebration as a friend.Da: Hun vidste nu, at det var okay at bede om hjælp.En: She now knew that it was okay to ask for help.Da: Det gav hende mulighed for at være til stede i de vigtige øjeblikke.En: It allowed her to be present in the important moments.Da: Sådan lærte Freja, at styrke ikke kun ligger i at klare alt selv, men også i at stole på andre.En: In this way, Freja learned that strength is not only in handling everything alone but also in trusting others.Da: Hun vidste, at både hendes arbejds- og familieliv kunne blomstre med den rigtige balance.En: She knew that both her work and family life could thrive with the right balance.Da: På denne Midsommer aften følte Freja sig endelig fri.En: On this Midsommer evening, Freja finally felt free.

more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-08-12-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Københavns Lufthavn var som en levende blok af energi denne sommerdag.En: Copenhagen Airport was like a living block of energy this summer day.Da: Folk skyndte sig fra A til B, stressede for ikke at misse deres fly.En: People rushed from A to B, stressed about not missing their flights.Da: En behagelig duft af kaffe fyldte luften, mens annoncer svævede gennem terminalerne.En: A pleasant scent of coffee filled the air, while announcements drifted through the terminals.Da: Ved bagagebåndet lå en mystisk kuffert.En: By the luggage belt lay a mysterious suitcase.Da: Den var ubemærket, som om den ventede på, at nogen skulle opdage dens hemmeligheder.En: It was unremarked, as if it was waiting for someone to discover its secrets.Da: Freja, der altid havde været nysgerrig, kunne ikke lade være med at lægge mærke til den.En: Freja, who had always been curious, couldn't help but notice it.Da: Hun nærmede sig forsigtigt og så sig omkring.En: She approached cautiously and looked around.Da: Lars, en sikkerhedsvagt, bemærkede snart Frejas interesse.En: Lars, a security guard, soon noticed Freja's interest.Da: Hans job var at beskytte, og en efterladt kuffert var ingen lille sag.En: His job was to protect, and an abandoned suitcase was no small matter.Da: "Frøken, du kan ikke være her," sagde han roligt men bestemt.En: "Miss, you can't be here," he said calmly but firmly.Da: Freja trak sig lidt tilbage, men tanken om kuffertens indhold forsvandt ikke.En: Freja retreated slightly, but the thought of the suitcase's contents didn't vanish.Da: Imens stod en rejsende, Mikkel, og stirrede på kufferten med et let forvirret udtryk.En: Meanwhile, a traveler, Mikkel, stood staring at the suitcase with a slightly confused expression.Da: Han fumlede med sin taske, da han så Freja nærme sig igen.En: He fumbled with his bag when he saw Freja approaching again.Da: “Hej, ved du noget om den kuffert?En: "Hey, do you know anything about that suitcase?"Da: ” spurgte Freja ligeud til Mikkel, der svarede, “Måske.En: Freja asked outright to Mikkel, who replied, "Maybe.Da: Den minder mig om noget fra min sidste rejse.En: It reminds me of something from my last trip."Da: ” Hans svar var vagt, og Freja var ikke overbevist.En: His answer was vague, and Freja was not convinced.Da: Beslutsomheden skinnede i Frejas øjne.En: Determination shone in Freja's eyes.Da: "Mikkel, vil du ikke hjælpe mig med at finde ud af, hvad der er indeni?En: "Mikkel, won't you help me figure out what's inside?"Da: " hun pressede.En: she pressed.Da: Mikkel tøvede et øjeblik, men nikkede så, nysgerrigheden havde fanget ham også.En: Mikkel hesitated for a moment but then nodded, the curiosity having caught him too.Da: Lars var mere og mere bekymret.En: Lars grew more and more concerned.Da: Han kunne ikke lade folk rode med en ukendt kuffert, men Freja og Mikkel gled langsomt ud af hans synsfelt.En: He couldn't let people meddle with an unknown suitcase, but Freja and Mikkel slowly slipped out of his sight.Da: De trak kufferten hen til et skjult hjørne, væk fra nysgerrige blikke.En: They pulled the suitcase to a hidden corner, away from prying eyes.Da: Med en hurtig fælles indsats fik de åbnet kufferten.En: With a quick joint effort, they opened the suitcase.Da: Indeni lå ikke noget farligt.En: Inside lay nothing dangerous.Da: I stedet var der en samling af usædvanlige souvenirer fra forskellige lande: en fjer fra Brasilien, en kurv fra Kenya, og små skulpturer fra Japan.En: Instead, there was a collection of unusual souvenirs from various countries: a feather from Brazil, a basket from Kenya, and small sculptures from Japan.Da: Mikkel lo lettet.En: Mikkel laughed in relief.Da: "De er mine minder fra rejse," indrømmede han.En: "They are my travel memories," he admitted.Da: "Jeg er bare distræt.En: "I'm just absent-minded."Da: "Freja smilede, hendes nysgerrighed tilfredsstillet.En: Freja smiled, her curiosity satisfied.Da: Hun indså, at selvom hun elskede eventyr, var der værdi i forsigtighed.En: She realized that even though she loved adventure, there was value in caution.Da: Lars, der havde fulgt efter dem, så hele scenen udfolde sig og kunne mærke sin egen stivhed løsne lidt.En: Lars, who had followed them, watched the whole scene unfold and could feel his own rigidity loosen a bit.Da: Måske kunne eventyrlyst nogle gange føre til mere forståelse.En: Maybe a sense of adventure could sometimes lead to greater understanding.Da: Kufferten blev afleveret tilbage til Mikkel.En: The suitcase was returned to Mikkel.Da: Som solen begyndte at sænke sig over flyene derude, gik Freja videre, nu med en ny respekt for både nysgerrighed og forsigtighed.En: As the sun began to set over the planes outside, Freja moved on, now with a newfound respect for both curiosity and caution.Da: Lars, der så hende gå, vidste, at han også havde lært noget: at være lidt mere åben overfor det uventede.En: Lars, watching her leave, knew that he had also learned something: to be a bit more open to the unexpected.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: A Spinning Surprise: Kasper's Artful Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-08-09-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: På en solskinsrig sommerdag besluttede Kasper, Signe og Mikkel sig for at besøge Københavns Kunstmuseum.En: On a sunny summer day, Kasper, Signe, and Mikkel decided to visit the Københavns Kunstmuseum (Copenhagen Art Museum).Da: Museet, med sine høje lofter og lyse rum, tilbød ro fra byens larm.En: The museum, with its high ceilings and bright rooms, offered a respite from the noise of the city.Da: Kasper gik ofte på sådanne ture med sine venner, altid ivrig efter at dele sin kærlighed til kunst.En: Kasper often went on such trips with his friends, always eager to share his love of art.Da: Denne særlige dag, følte han, ville han endelig imponere dem med sin viden.En: On this particular day, he felt like he would finally impress them with his knowledge.Da: Da de trådte ind i en sal med moderne kunst, blev Kaspers opmærksomhed fanget af en stor installation.En: As they entered a hall of modern art, Kasper's attention was caught by a large installation.Da: Det var en rund struktur med spejle og lys, der skiftede farver.En: It was a round structure with mirrors and lights that changed colors.Da: Han gik tættere på, nysgerrig som altid.En: He moved closer, curious as always.Da: "Se," sagde Kasper og vendte sig mod Signe og Mikkel, "det her værk er kendt for at udfordre vores perspektiv.En: "Look," said Kasper turning to Signe and Mikkel, "this piece is known for challenging our perspective.Da: Det symboliserer den konstante forandring i livet."En: It symbolizes the constant change in life."Da: Han ønskede at lyde selvsikker, men kunne have gjort sig mere umage med undersøgelsen af værket.En: He wanted to sound confident but could have made more effort to research the piece.Da: Mikkel lo, "Så hvorfor hopper du ikke ind og viser os, hvad du mener?"En: Mikkel laughed, "So why don't you jump in and show us what you mean?"Da: Det var sagt for sjov, men inden Kasper vidste af det, stod han inde i installationen.En: It was said in jest, but before Kasper knew it, he was standing inside the installation.Da: Pludselig satte det hele i gang og begyndte at dreje rundt.En: Suddenly, it all started up and began to spin around.Da: "Signe!En: "Signe!Da: Mikkel!En: Mikkel!Da: Hjælp!"En: Help!"Da: råbte han, mens installationen snurrede hurtigere.En: he shouted, as the installation spun faster.Da: Hans forsøg på at virke uanfægtet mislykkedes nu spektakulært.En: His attempt to appear unfazed was now failing spectacularly.Da: Signe og Mikkel kunne ikke holde latteren tilbage.En: Signe and Mikkel couldn't hold back their laughter.Da: Mikkel rakte telefonen op og filmede det hele, mens Signe prøvede at få kontakt med en museumsmedarbejder.En: Mikkel raised his phone and filmed the whole thing, while Signe tried to get in touch with a museum staff member.Da: Endelig, efter hvad der føltes som en evighed for Kasper, kom en forbløffet museumsvagt til undsætning.En: Finally, after what felt like an eternity for Kasper, a bewildered museum guard came to the rescue.Da: "Vi arbejder på det," smilede hun.En: "We're working on it," she smiled.Da: Med et klik var mekanismen slukket og Kasper humpede ud, lidt svimmel men helskindet.En: With a click, the mechanism was turned off and Kasper hobbled out, a bit dizzy but unharmed.Da: "Er du okay?"En: "Are you okay?"Da: spurgte Signe med et smil, da han kom nærmere.En: asked Signe with a smile, as he came closer.Da: Kasper grinede og kastede hænderne op i vejret.En: Kasper laughed and threw his hands up in the air.Da: "Ja, ja.En: "Yes, yes.Da: Alt i orden.En: Everything's fine.Da: Måske skulle jeg holde mig til at kigge."En: Maybe I should stick to just looking."Da: Deres latter løsnede den sidste knude af forlegenhed hos ham.En: Their laughter loosened the last knot of embarrassment in him.Da: Det der kunne have været en pinlig oplevelse blev i stedet en, som de længe grinede af.En: What could have been an embarrassing experience instead became one they laughed about for a long time.Da: Kasper lærte, at imponerende venner ikke altid betød, at man skulle være perfekt.En: Kasper learned that impressing friends didn't always mean having to be perfect.Da: Hans humor og selvironi var alt, hvad de behøvede.En: His humor and self-irony were all they needed.Da: Da de forlod museet, gik Kasper ud med et nyt perspektiv.En: As they left the museum, Kasper walked out with a new perspective.Da: Måske var det installationen alligevel, der havde ramt hovedet på sømmet – forandring var uundgåelig, men det kunne også være sjovt.En: Perhaps it was the installation after all that hit the nail on the head — change was inevitable, but it could also be fun.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Summer Sparks of Collaboration at Aarhus Katedralskole Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-08-07-22-34-02-da Story Transcript:Da: Aarhus Katedralskole var som en tidskapsel midt i byens travlhed.En: Aarhus Katedralskole was like a time capsule in the midst of the city's hustle and bustle.Da: Rektoren stod på trappen og bød alle velkommen til den første dag af den obligatoriske sommerworkshop.En: The principal stood on the stairs and welcomed everyone to the first day of the mandatory summer workshop.Da: Solen strålede gennem skolens store vinduer og kastede lyspletter over de gamle murstensvægge i klasselokalet.En: The sun shone through the school's large windows, casting patches of light over the old brick walls in the classroom.Da: Freja sad ved et af de kraftige træborde i klasselokalet og prøvede at undertrykke sommerfuglene i maven.En: Freja sat at one of the sturdy wooden tables in the classroom, trying to suppress the butterflies in her stomach.Da: Hun havde valgt et sted tæt på tavlen, klar til at notere det mindste ord fra underviseren.En: She had chosen a spot close to the blackboard, ready to jot down even the smallest word from the instructor.Da: Hun ønskede at imponere alle, især lærerne, for hun drømte om at være den bedste elev i klassen.En: She wanted to impress everyone, especially the teachers, for she dreamed of being the best student in the class.Da: Lidt ved siden af hende sad Magnus.En: A little way to her side sat Magnus.Da: Han lænede sig tilbage i stolen, med en lidt fjern mine.En: He leaned back in his chair with a somewhat distant look.Da: "Hvorfor er vi her overhovedet?"En: "Why are we here at all?"Da: mumlede han, da læreren begyndte at tale om dagens gruppearbejdsprojekt.En: he mumbled, as the teacher began talking about the day's group project.Da: Freja skævede lidt tvivlsomt til ham.En: Freja glanced somewhat doubtfully at him.Da: Hun vidste, at han var klog, men hans afslappede indstilling gjorde hende nervøs.En: She knew he was smart, but his relaxed attitude made her nervous.Da: Gruppeprojektet skulle fremlægges i slutningen af dagen.En: The group project was to be presented at the end of the day.Da: Freja besluttede hurtigt, at hun ville tage styringen for at sikre, at projektet blev en succes.En: Freja quickly decided she would take the lead to ensure the project was a success.Da: Hun samlede materiale og udarbejdede en plan med det samme.En: She gathered materials and devised a plan right away.Da: "Jeg tror, vi kan komme langt, hvis vi arbejder struktureret," sagde hun opmuntrende til Magnus.En: "I think we can go far if we work in a structured way," she said encouragingly to Magnus.Da: Magnus nikkede, men virkede stadig lidt uengageret.En: Magnus nodded but still seemed a bit disengaged.Da: Freja forsøgte at inkludere ham, men fik mest korte svar.En: Freja tried to include him but mostly got short replies.Da: Hun var bange for, at arbejdet ville mislykkes, hvis Magnus ikke gik op i det.En: She was afraid the work would fail if Magnus didn't get involved.Da: Da fremlæggelsens tid kom, blev Freja mere og mere nervøs.En: As the presentation time came, Freja became more and more nervous.Da: Hun startede stærkt, men hendes stemme dirrede lidt.En: She started off strong, but her voice wavered a bit.Da: Pludselig stoppede Magnus hende midt i sætningen.En: Suddenly, Magnus interrupted her mid-sentence.Da: "Må jeg lige vise noget?"En: "May I just show something?"Da: spurgte han, med en helt anderledes glød i øjnene.En: he asked, with a completely different glow in his eyes.Da: Han rettede en projektor mod tavlen og tændte for skærmen.En: He aimed a projector at the board and turned on the screen.Da: En farverig præsentation fyldt med deres projektdata og grafik kom til syne.En: A colorful presentation filled with their project data and graphics appeared.Da: Freja kunne ikke tro sine egne øjne.En: Freja couldn't believe her eyes.Da: Magnus havde tydeligvis arbejdet i det skjulte og tilføjet en vis kreativitet, som hun slet ikke havde forventet.En: Magnus had obviously been working in secret and added a creativity that she hadn't expected.Da: Alle i klassen, inklusiv læreren, så meget imponerede ud og klappede, da de var færdige.En: Everyone in the class, including the teacher, looked very impressed and applauded when they were done.Da: Efter fremlæggelsen kom læreren hen til dem.En: After the presentation, the teacher came over to them.Da: "Fantastisk samarbejde," sagde hun.En: "Fantastic collaboration," she said.Da: Freja kiggede på Magnus med et nyt syn.En: Freja looked at Magnus with a new perspective.Da: På vej ud af klassen takkede Freja Magnus for hans overraskende bidrag.En: On the way out of the class, Freja thanked Magnus for his surprising contribution.Da: "Jeg troede ikke, du var interesseret," sagde hun med et lille smil.En: "I didn't think you were interested," she said with a small smile.Da: Magnus trak på skuldrene.En: Magnus shrugged.Da: "Jeg arbejder bedst i sidste øjeblik," sagde han, "men jeg vidste, at vi kunne gøre det godt sammen."En: "I work best at the last minute," he said, "but I knew we could do well together."Da: Fra den dag lærte Freja at værdsætte forskellige arbejdsmåder.En: From that day, Freja learned to appreciate different working methods.Da: Ikke alle behøvede at være som hende for at lykkes.En: Not everyone needed to be like her to succeed.Da: Nogle gange kunne selv uventede stilarter bidrage til et fantastisk resultat.En: Sometimes even unexpected styles could contribute to a fantastic result.Da: Hun gik hjem med en tilfredshed over, hvad de to havde opnået sammen, og en ny forståelse for samarbejdets magi.En: She went home with satisfaction over what the two had achieved together and a new understanding of the magic of collaboration.

This week, Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear, makes her monthly visit to the studio, and our host Ian Truscott grabs her after day 1 of CMS Connect 25, a gathering of content management professionals in Montreal, and she shares the latest talking points from the world of content management.  Some talking points from this week: CMSs are still valid and necessary for digital experiences, but digital experience platforms (DXPs) are not a thing. The death of the website is bullshit, and the CMS plays a key role in management and orchestration across all channels.  Artificial intelligence is obviously a hot topic, and there are some interesting use cases in content workflows, governance, and approval.  Composability and headless remain a hot technical trend, but not much is changing in terms of what buyers are asking for.  Accessibility was a surprisingly hot topic, and it's often overlooked. People, process, governance, and operations remain a technology-agnostic challenge regardless of the acronym used to describe them (DAM, MAM, MRM, WCM, etc). A dive into indulging our inner content geeks, and ss always, we welcome your feedback.  Enjoy! — The Links The people: Ian Truscott on LinkedIn and Bluesky Cathy McKnight on LinkedIn Mentioned this week: The story of Boye & Co CMS Connect 25 - Boye & Company Seventh Bear Rockstar CMO: The Beat Newsletter that we send every Monday Rockstar CMO on the web, Twitter, and LinkedIn Previous episodes and all the show notes: Rockstar CMO FM.

The History of Tower, Michigan (1900–1950) In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we travel to Cheboygan County to tell the story of Tower, a northern Michigan village built on timber and the railroad. At the turn of the 20th century, Tower was a booming lumber town — home to busy sawmills, the Stratton Handle Factory, and a thriving Main Street lined with shops, hotels, and saloons.But Tower's fortunes changed quickly. In 1911, a massive wildfire destroyed much of its industry and infrastructure. Just over a decade later, the Black River flooded, threatening to destroy the Tower Dam and washing out sections of railroad track. Through fire, flood, and economic decline, Tower adapted — from a bustling mill town to a quiet rural community.Using rare historical accounts, this episode traces the rise, trials, and survival of Tower, Michigan, from 1900 to 1950. It's a story echoed in small towns across the state — places built by the forest, changed by time, and held together by the people who stayed.

bordnummer skrevet med en sirlig håndskrift.En: It was completely anonymous, only with their table number written in a neat handwriting.Da: Nysgerrig som altid tog Mikkel kuverten op og åbnede den forsigtigt.En: Curious as always, Mikkel picked up the envelope and opened it carefully.Da: Indeni fandt de et stykke papir med en gådefuld besked og instruktioner.En: Inside, they found a piece of

hemmeligheder."En: "Follow the clues, and discover Copenhagen's secrets."Da: Mikkel's øjne lyste op.En: Mikkel's eyes lit up.Da: "Det er lige præcis det, jeg har brug for!En: "This is exactly what I

gyde, hvor de fandt en inskription på en væg.En: The first clue led them to an old cobbled alley, where they found an inscription on a wall.Da: Derfra gik turen videre fra spor til spor gennem Københavns gader.En: From there, the journey continued from clue to clue through Copenhagen's streets.Da: På deres vej stødte de på udfordringer, hvor Mikkels drømmefyldte blik stødte mod Frejas skeptiske syn og Sorens forsigtige anvendelse af historisk viden.En: Along their way, they encountered challenges, where Mikkel's dream-filled gaze clashed with Freja's skeptical view and Soren's cautious application of historical knowledge.Da: Efter flere stop fandt de endelig en skjult gård midt i byen.En: After several stops, they finally found a hidden courtyard in the middle of the city.Da: Her, bag en altan dækket af grønne slyngplanter, opdagede de en gammel artefakt.En: Here, behind a balcony covered with green climbing plants, they discovered an old artifact.Da: Det var en del af byens fortid, en skat knyttet til Københavns lange historie.En: It was part of the city's past, a treasure tied to Copenhagen's long history.Da: Mikkel strålede af stolthed.En: Mikkel beamed with pride.Da: "Vi gjorde det!"En: "We did it!"Da: Freja kunne ikke andet end at smile til sidst.En: Freja couldn't help but smile in the end.Da: "Måske er der mere i livet end det forudsigelige," indrømmede hun stille.En: "Maybe there's more to life than the predictable," she admitted quietly.Da: Soren, der så artefakten med sine historiske øjne, vidste, at det var noget helt særligt.En: Soren, who saw the artifact through his historical eyes, knew it was something truly special.Da: "Vi må kontakte museet," sagde han bestemt.En: "We must contact the museum," he said firmly.Da: Da de afleverede deres fund til museet, blev de hyldet som opdagere.En: When they delivered their find to the museum, they were hailed as discoverers.Da: Deres eventyr havde bragt dem sammen og åbnet nye horisonter.En: Their adventure had brought them together and opened up new horizons.Da: Mikkel fandt modet til at forfølge sine lidenskaber.En: Mikkel found the courage to pursue his passions.Da: Freja lærte at omfavne det uventede, og Soren opdagede spændingen ved at træde uden for de trygge rammer.En: Freja learned to embrace the unexpected, and Soren discovered the thrill of stepping outside of the safe zones.Da: Eventyret i sommersolen var slut, men mindet om mysteriet ville leve videre i deres hjerter.En: The adventure in the summer sun was over, but the memory of the mystery would live on in their hearts.Da: Cafėens lyde og dufte blev nu forbundet med venskab, mod og opdagelse, en del af deres historie i hjertet af København.En: The café's sounds and scents became now associated with friendship, courage, and discovery, a part of their story in the heart of Copenhagen.

klasseværelse med et panoramavindue mod gaden.En: The first club meeting was held in a light-filled classroom with a panoramic window facing the street.Da: Astrid ledte an, mens Freja delte sine

Transcript:Da: Nyhavn i København var livlig.En: Nyhavn in København was lively.Da: Sommerens varme sol strålede ned over de farverige, historiske bygninger, mens glade mennesker fyldte kanalen og de små caféer langs vandet.En: The warm summer sun beamed down on the colorful, historic buildings, while happy people filled the canal and the small cafés along the water.Da: Markedsboder solgte alt fra håndværk til lækre snacks, og musikken spillede.En: Market stalls sold everything from crafts to delicious snacks, and music played.Da: Det var midt i denne festlige atmosfære, at kaos indtraf.En: It was in the midst of this festive atmosphere that chaos ensued.Da: Mikkel, en spirende kunstner, stod ved sin bod fyldt med malerier.En: Mikkel, an aspiring artist, stood by his stall filled with paintings.Da: Han elskede at være her, omgivet af mennesker og den smukke udsigt over kanalen.En: He loved being here, surrounded by people and the beautiful view over the canal.Da: Men hans glæde forsvandt hurtigt, da en højlydt stemme råbte: "Stop!En: But his joy quickly vanished when a loud voice shouted, "Stop!Da: Tyven er her!"En: The thief is here!"Da: Det var Lars, en lokal politibetjent med en stærk tro på, at Mikkel havde stjålet et værdifuldt armbånd fra en af bodene.En: It was Lars, a local police officer with a strong belief that Mikkel had stolen a valuable bracelet from one of the stalls.Da: Uden andet bevis end et rygte, pegede Lars mod Mikkel, der følte sit hjerte bremse.En: Without any proof other than a rumor, Lars pointed at Mikkel, who felt his heart stop.Da: Han havde brug for at bevise sin uskyld.En: He needed to prove his innocence.Da: "Sofie," hviskede Mikkel til sin bedste ven, der stod ved siden af.En: "Sofie," Mikkel whispered to his best friend standing beside him.Da: "Jeg gjorde det ikke.En: "I didn't do it.Da: Vi skal finde den sande tyv.En: We need to find the real thief.Da: Vil du hjælpe mig?"En: Will you help me?"Da: Sofie nikkede straks.En: Sofie nodded immediately.Da: "Selvfølgelig, Mikkel.En: "Of course, Mikkel.Da: Jeg ved, du ikke er skyldig."En: I know you're not guilty."Da: De besluttede sig for at undersøge sagen selv.En: They decided to investigate the matter themselves.Da: Mikkel og Sofie gik rundt blandt boderne og snakkede med folk.En: Mikkel and Sofie went around the stalls talking to people.Da: De opdagede snart, at andre også havde mistet ting, og Mikkel var ikke den eneste mistænkte.En: They soon discovered that others had lost things too, and Mikkel was not the only suspect.Da: Imens fulgte Lars dem opmærksomt på afstand, fast besluttet på at finde snigende fejl i Mikkels opførsel.En: Meanwhile, Lars watched them closely from a distance, determined to find sneaky errors in Mikkel's behavior.Da: Mikkel og Sofie skyndte sig til en lille café for at diskutere deres næste skridt.En: Mikkel and Sofie hurried to a small café to discuss their next move.Da: "Vi skal finde nogen, der så, hvad der skete," sagde Sofie.En: "We need to find someone who saw what happened," Sofie said.Da: "Måske nogen ved boden over for dig?"En: "Maybe someone at the stall across from you?"Da: De fandt snart en kvinde, der havde set noget mistænkeligt.En: They soon found a woman who had seen something suspicious.Da: "Der var en skygge hen over din bod kort før alarmen gik," hviskede hun.En: "There was a shadow over your stall shortly before the alarm went off," she whispered.Da: "En mand med en sort hætte trak noget op af lommen og smed det i din retning, mens han gik forbi."En: "A man with a black hood pulled something out of his pocket and tossed it in your direction as he walked by."Da: Med denne oplysning begyndte de at lede efter manden i den sorte hætte.En: With this information, they began looking for the man in the black hood.Da: Det var en udfordring i den store skare, men Mikkel opdagede til sidst en mand, der passede på beskrivelsen, gemt i skyggerne bag en bod.En: It was a challenge in the large crowd, but Mikkel eventually spotted a man fitting the description, hidden in the shadows behind a stall.Da: Mikkel konfronterede ham.En: Mikkel confronted him.Da: "Hvorfor smed du det armbånd ved min bod?"En: "Why did you throw the bracelet by my stall?"Da: Mikkel's spørgsmål fik mange til at stoppe op og lytte.En: Mikkel's question made many stop and listen.Da: Manden forsøgte at flygte, men Sofie, hurtig som hun var, snublede foran ham og forhindrede hans flugt.En: The man tried to flee, but Sofie, quick as she was, stumbled in front of him, preventing his escape.Da: I mængden blev et vægtigt vidne frem, en fotograf, der havde fanget det hele på sit kamera.En: In the crowd, a crucial witness emerged, a photographer who had captured it all on their camera.Da: Beviset viste manden i den sorte hætte, som placerede armbåndet ved Mikkels bod.En: The evidence showed the man in the black hood placing the bracelet at Mikkel's stall.Da: Lars, overrasket og skamfuld, måtte indrømme sin fejl.En: Lars, surprised and ashamed, had to admit his mistake.Da: "Undskyld, Mikkel.En: "Sorry, Mikkel.Da: Jeg tog fejl," sagde han kort efter.En: I was wrong," he said shortly afterward.Da: Mikkel tog en dyb indånding.En: Mikkel took a deep breath.Da: "Tak, Sofie," sagde han.En: "Thank you, Sofie," he said.Da: "Uden dig kunne jeg ikke have bevist min uskyld."En: "Without you, I couldn't have proven my innocence."Da: Festivitetens musik spillede videre, og Mikkel vendte tilbage til sin passion for malerier, nu med en styrket selvtillid og en dybere forståelse for værdien af en sand ven ved sin side.En: The event's music continued to play, and Mikkel returned to his passion for paintings, now with bolstered confidence and a deeper appreciation for the value of a true friend by his side.Da: Nyhavn's farver føltes endnu klarere, og han var glad for at være en del af denne verden, hvor retfærdighed til sidst blev gjort.En: Nyhavn's colors seemed even brighter, and he was glad to be part of this world where justice was ultimately served.

So many great singing artists lost to the world of late! Almost a month ago now, the great Welsh tenor Stuart Burrows (07 February 1933 - 29 June 2025) left this mortal coil at the age of 92. Burrows was an artist of extraordinary technique, elegance, and sincerity and it has been an honor and a delight to put together this episode which celebrates his career. Because he was a favorite partner of so many exceptional divas, I decided to focus this episode on Burrows singing duets with some of the most important divas of his era. Included in the episode are Beverly Sills, Gundula Janowitz, Joan Sutherland, Renata Scotto, Leontyne Price, Nelly Miricioiu, Gwendolyn Killebrew, Margaret Price, and Reri Grist, singing Mozart, Massenet, Offenbach, Gounod, Berlioz, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, and even some Puccini. “The boys” are represented by José van Dam and Countermelody favorite Donald Gramm. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Burrows was a popular television star in the UK, starring in the eponymous BBC2 series, Stuart Burrows Sings. The episode also features two snippets from that show, one a duet with the beautiful lyric mezzo Diana Montague (whose husband tenor David Rendall died earlier this week). The episode begins with a tribute to the beloved Welsh pop contralto Iris Williams, who died on July 11 at the age of 79. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

The National Association of science writers has about 2000 members, even as the field of science journalism has been experiencing a contraction. In her 2025 Nieman lab prediction for journalism, Siri Carpenter suggested that, given the challenges the world faces, it might be time that newsrooms embrace "science as a thread that runs through every beat." Science journalism is the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories, with guests Jeff Mervis and Andrew van Dam. Jeff Mervis reports on science policy in the United States and worldwide to explain to scientists how government works. He keeps a close eye on the changing fortunes of science across the federal government. He also follows efforts to improve science and math education and the factors that shape the U.S. and global scientific workforce. Andrew Van Dam writes the Department of Data column each week for The Washington Post. He has covered economics and wrangled data and graphics for The Post and the Wall Street Journal. He got his start at the Idaho Press-Tribune.

Check out our special discount deal by visiting www.incogni.com/stuartgaryIn this episode of SpaceTime, we delve into groundbreaking discoveries that reveal the impact of human activity on Earth, explore a new celestial body beyond Pluto, and prepare for Japan's upcoming Martian moon mission.Human Development and Earth's Polar ShiftA recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters has confirmed that human development has caused a significant shift in Earth's spin axis. By constructing nearly 7,000 dams between 1835 and 2011, humans have redistributed the planet's mass, resulting in a total pole shift of about 1.13 meters. Lead author Natasha Valencic explains how this shift not only affects Earth's rotation but also contributes to a global drop in sea levels. The findings underscore the importance of considering water impoundment in future sea level rise calculations.Discovery of a World Beyond PlutoAstronomers have identified a small celestial object, designated 2023 KQ14, located beyond Pluto, potentially challenging the existence of the elusive Planet Nine. This discovery, detailed in Nature Astronomy, suggests that the outer solar system is more diverse than previously thought. With a stable orbit for over 4.5 billion years, 2023 KQ14's peculiar trajectory raises questions about the formation and evolution of distant solar system bodies, as well as the dynamics of gravitational influences in this remote region.Japan's Martian Moon Sample Return MissionJapan's aerospace exploration agency JAXA is set to launch the Martian Moons Exploration Mission (MMX) in 2026. This ambitious mission aims to land on Phobos, collect samples, and return them to Earth by 2031. The spacecraft will also conduct a flyby of Deimos while gathering crucial data to determine the origins of Mars' moons. With advanced scientific instruments onboard, the mission seeks to unravel the mysteries surrounding these small, potato-shaped moons and their relationship to the Red Planet's history.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesGeophysical Research Lettershttps://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/19448007Nature Astronomyhttps://www.nature.com/natureastronomy/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.
