Podcasts about Nikola

There are certain people in history that never really got to collect their roses. They come along at a pivotal time in human advancement and just kinda operated behind the scenes, sometimes contributing massively to humanity. Nikola Tesla is one of those people. Were it not for the car brand (not gonna get into that here) Tesla's name would still be relegated to the historical hamper under men like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham-Bell, and Henry Ford. While not inventing electricity, Nikola did discover the best way to use it. Partnering with literal power-powerhouse Westinghouse (thats not a type) they were ready to bring Tesla's AC (Alternating Current) power to the masses. This didn't rub old Tom Edison right as he the big name in the electric game with DC (Direct Current). He was also Tesla's employer for about 6 months until he didn't make good on a deal when Tesla improved a bunch of his stuff. Now he would see his mistake come back to haunt him. But Tesla wasn't just volts and watts, the guys mind was an idea factory, some were good, some not so much, but most of the time they alway had the touch of genius. Let's meet the man that powered the world, Nikola Tesla.Support the show

Transcript:Sr: Београд је био покривен снегом, а Калемегдански парк блистао је под светлима новогодишњих лампиона.En: Beograd was covered in snow, and Kalemegdan Park shimmered under the lights of New Year's lanterns.Sr: Низ стазе биле су распоређене уметничке тезге, и ваздух је био испуњен мирисом куваног вина и топлог пецива.En: Along the pathways were arranged artisan stalls, and the air was filled with the scent of mulled wine and warm pastries.Sr: Људи су шетали, одушевљено разгледајући изложене радове.En: People strolled about, enthusiastically admiring the displayed works.Sr: Никола, тихи уметник из Београда, лутао је парком у потрази за инспирацијом.En: Nikola, a quiet artist from Beograd, wandered through the park in search of inspiration.Sr: Његови радови били су скривени у мраку његове несигурности, али је у дубини душе жудео да свет види његово истинско ја.En: His works were hidden in the shadows of his insecurity, but deep down he yearned for the world to see his true self.Sr: Његов пријатељ, Милош, увек му је говорио да треба да изађе из своје зоне комфора.En: His friend, Miloš, always told him he needed to step out of his comfort zone.Sr: Међутим, страх од критике држао је Николу на месту.En: However, the fear of criticism kept Nikola in place.Sr: С друге стране парка, Ана, позната критичарка уметности, шетала је са скепсом на лицу.En: On the other side of the park, Ana, a well-known art critic, walked with skepticism on her face.Sr: Тражила је свеже таленте и наду да ће поново запалити своју љубав према сликању.En: She was looking for fresh talents and the hope to reignite her love for painting.Sr: Годинама раније, њена страст се изгубила у замршеном свету уметничког критицизма.En: Years ago, her passion was lost in the tangled world of art criticism.Sr: У оваквом окружењу, судбина је спојила Николу и Ану.En: In such an environment, fate brought Nikola and Ana together.Sr: Током прве ноћи фестивала, Милош је убедио Николу да изложи своје радове.En: During the first night of the festival, Miloš persuaded Nikola to exhibit his works.Sr: Иако оклевајући, Никола је на крају попустио и поставио своју најновију слику, апстрактно дело пуно емоција и боја.En: Although hesitant, Nikola finally relented and displayed his latest painting, an abstract piece full of emotions and colors.Sr: Ана је била у пролазу када јој је слика привукла пажњу.En: Ana was passing by when the painting caught her attention.Sr: Била је фасцинирана свежином и дубином коју је видела.En: She was fascinated by the freshness and depth she saw.Sr: У том тренутку, знала је да мора да упозна уметника.En: At that moment, she knew she had to meet the artist.Sr: Када је сазнала да је реч о Николи, њихов разговор почео је стидљиво, али и искрено.En: When she discovered it was Nikola, their conversation began shyly but sincerely.Sr: Никола је изразио страхове због критика, док је Ана отворено говорила о свом разочарању у уметнички свет.En: Nikola expressed his fears about criticism, while Ana spoke candidly about her disappointment with the art world.Sr: Њихова рањивост створила је неочекивану везу.En: Their vulnerability created an unexpected connection.Sr: Ана је одлучила да му понуди не само професионалне савете већ и лично охрабрење.En: Ana decided to offer him not only professional advice but also personal encouragement.Sr: Њихов разговор се претворио у дуг боравак код једне од тезги са куваним вином, где су делили своје надахнуће и наде.En: Their conversation turned into a long stay at one of the stalls with mulled wine, where they shared their inspirations and hopes.Sr: Није прошло дуго, а Ана је предложила заједнички пројекат, нешто што ће обома пружити нови уметнички полет.En: Before long, Ana proposed a joint project, something that would provide both of them with new artistic momentum.Sr: С временом, Никола је стекао самопоуздање у свој уметнички израз.En: Over time, Nikola gained confidence in his artistic expression.Sr: Анцина подршка била је пресудна за његово ослобађање од страхова.En: Ana's support was crucial for his release from fears.Sr: Заузврат, она је поново открила љубав према сликању, надахнута Николином сировом талентом.En: In return, she rediscovered her love for painting, inspired by Nikola's raw talent.Sr: Зимска чаролија Калемегдана постала је сведок новог почетка, не само уметничких каријера, већ и истинског пријатељства које је на крају прерасло у нешто много значајније.En: The winter magic of Kalemegdan bore witness to a new beginning, not only in artistic careers but also in a true friendship that eventually grew into something much more significant.Sr: Крај приче оставио је осећај топлине, као што то обично бива у празничној сезони, пуној наде, љубави и нових почетака.En: The end of the story left a feeling of warmth, as is common in the holiday season, filled with hope, love, and new beginnings.

Bohem zapomenutá zem. I tak se říkalo Podkarpatské Rusi. Právě tam se ve velmi chudé rodině roku 1898 narodil Nikola Šuhaj. Byl v armádě, dezertoval, zastřelil maďarského četníka. „Tím se dostal na cestu, ze které nebylo návratu,“ uvádí publicista Stanislav Motl.

Rođen u Zaječaru, obrazovan u Cirihu, zadojen idejama ruskih narodnjaka, vratio se u Srbiju kao buntovnik protiv režima i rešen da postane protivnik svake samovolje vlasti. No, sudbina je imala druge planove. Od revolucionara koji je bežao preko granice posle Timočke bune 1883. stigao je do najdugovečnijeg predsednika vlade u istoriji Srbije i Jugoslavije. Pašić je postao sinonim za politički instinkt, strpljenje i moć pregovora.Bio je čovek koji je umeo da preživi i kraljeve, i atentate, i izdaje. Sa Milanom Obrenovićem delio je prezir, sa Aleksandrom Obrenovićem nepoverenje, a s Petrom Karađorđevićem složnu, ali napetu saradnju. Kada su kraljevi padali, on je ostajao. Znao je da se povuče kada treba, da zaćuti kad svi viču, i da iskoči iz senke u trenutku kad se odlučuje o svemu. Njegov život bio je neprestani hod po tankoj liniji između političke svemoći i preživljavanja.Tokom Balkanskih ratova i Prvog svetskog rata, Pašić je bio na čelu države dok se sve oko nje rušilo. Dok su vojske ginule na Ceru i Kolubari, on je u Nišu i na Krfu pokušavao da očuva ideju države i diplomatijom izbori ono što oružje ne može. Njegova uloga u stvaranju Kraljevine Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca 1918. bila je kruna političkog umeća, ali i početak novih nesporazuma.Za jedne narodski vođa i otac moderne Srbije, za druge hladan manipulator, čovek koji je znao sve da preživi jer je znao kad da popusti.Istoričari Nikola Đukić i Ivan Drljača razgovaraju o tome kako je Pašić, neustrašiv i proračunat, manevrisao između kraljeva, stranih ambasada i nezadovoljnog naroda; majstor kompromisa, manipulator, politički strateg koji je znao da prepozna trenutak i da iz svake krize izađe jači. Razumeti Pašića znači razumeti i samu srpsku politiku tog vremena i svet u kojem su ideali često bili taoci prilika, a opstanak umeće veće od pobede.

Kako je profesor istorije postao Dragan Torbica i promenio humor na Balkanu? Ivan u 346. epizodi Pojačala ugostio je Nikolu Škorića, poznatog kao Dragan Torbica iz serije „Državni posao“, u detaljnom razgovoru o njegovom odrastanju u Rijeci, traumatičnom preseljenju u Novi Sad devedesetih i putu od budućeg profesora istorije do jednog od najprepoznatljivijih komičara u regionu. Nikola govori o studentskim danima, radu u školi engleskog jezika i porodičnoj firmi, ulasku u RTV kroz „Noćnu smenu“ i nastanku „Državnog posla“, uz mnoštvo anegdota koje osvetljavaju i njegov privatni i profesionalni život. Kroz priču se dotiču stanja u prosveti, centralizacije medija, uloge regionalnih centara poput Rijeke i Novog Sada, kao i toga koliko je važno da se mladim autorima i scenaristima da kreativna sloboda, što je seriji i omogućilo da postane kultna.

The main protagonist of Tamara Kotevska's (“Honeyland”) enchanting new documentary “The Tale of Silyan” is a lovable farmer named Nikola. But as compelling a screen presence as he is, Nikola can't hold a candle to the film's real stars, the gorgeous, majestic — and even more lovable — white storks who steal the show.   Producer/Director Tamara Kotevska and Cinematographer/Producer Jean Dakar join Ken on the pod to discuss these incredible birds, the legend of Silyan (a boy who was turned into a stork), and the North Macedonian rural community that the storks, Nikola, and his family call home. Having lived side-by-side in harmony for centuries, both storks and humans are now facing dire economic forces that make farming unsustainable and lead to landfills, rather than fertile fields, becoming the storks' feeding grounds. As she did with her magical, multiple Oscar-nominated “Honeylands,” also set in her native Macedonia, Tamara manages to spin a tale of her own that seamlessly combines elements of narrative storytelling and observational documentary. Jean's gorgeous and multifaceted cinematography elevates the film even further. “The Tale of Silyan” is a beautiful love story, too. It turns out that storks are just as lovable to Nikola as to the rest of us.   “The Tale of Silyan” is North Macedonia's official submission for Best International Feature and is being released by National Geographic Documentary Films in select theaters.   Hidden Gems: Tamara: “Midnight Family” Jean: “Riders on the Storm”   Follow: @tamarakotevska and @jeandakar on Instagram @topdocspod on Instagram and X     The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Conquering Avala: A Snowy Tale of Trust and Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-11-27-08-38-19-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Снегови су завладали Авалом брже него што је ико очекивао.En: The snows took over Avala faster than anyone expected.Sr: Никола је стајао на ивици шумског пута, гледајући како пахуље завејавају стазу испред њега.En: Nikola stood at the edge of the forest path, watching as the snowflakes covered the trail in front of him.Sr: Авала, планина на коју је тако често одлазио, данас је изгледала другачије, мистериозније.En: Avala, the mountain he often visited, looked different today, more mysterious.Sr: Али он је био решен.En: But he was determined.Sr: Хтео је до врха, без обзира на све.En: He wanted to reach the top, no matter what.Sr: Милица му се придружила у овој авантури, више због подршке него због жеље за изазовом.En: Milica joined him on this adventure, more for support than for the thrill of the challenge.Sr: Она је увек волела сигурност и био је сумњу у ову непромишљеност.En: She always loved safety and was doubtful about this recklessness.Sr: Снег је већ почео да утиче на њено расположење.En: The snow had already started affecting her mood.Sr: "Време е катастрофално.En: "The weather is catastrophic.Sr: Треба да се вратимо", рекла је.En: We should turn back," she said.Sr: "Можемо ми то.En: "We can do it.Sr: Неће нас неки снег зауставити", одговорио је Никола самоуверено, иако је у њему титрао страх од непредвидљивости.En: Some snow won't stop us," replied Nikola confidently, even though he had a flicker of fear from the unpredictability.Sr: Док су кренули уз стазу, дрвеће око њих полако се претварало у снежне силуете.En: As they started up the trail, the trees around them slowly turned into snowy silhouettes.Sr: Ветар је дувао све јаче, непредвидива сила која је стално мењала правац.En: The wind blew stronger and stronger, a fickle force constantly changing direction.Sr: Како су се уздигли више по стрмој стази, снег је дошао као лавина, брисао трагове и скривао пут од њихових очију.En: As they climbed higher on the steep path, the snow came like an avalanche, erasing the tracks and hiding the path from their eyes.Sr: Милица је зауставила корак.En: Milica stopped walking.Sr: "Ово је превише, Никола.En: "This is too much, Nikola.Sr: Изгубићемо пут", рекла је забринуто.En: We'll lose the path," she said worriedly.Sr: Никола је стојао, покушавајући да игнорише језиво шиштање ветра.En: Nikola stood, trying to ignore the eerie hissing of the wind.Sr: Али је знао да је Милица у праву.En: But he knew Milica was right.Sr: Без обзира на његово искуство, он није могао игнорисати опасност.En: Despite his experience, he couldn't ignore the danger.Sr: Снег је постајао гушћи, а видљивост је била готово нула.En: The snow became thicker, and visibility was almost zero.Sr: Милица је предложила да прате траг њених корака назад.En: Milica suggested they follow the trail of their footsteps back.Sr: "Слушај, можемо се вратити истим путем.En: "Listen, we can return the same way.Sr: Ја ћу водити који део, а ти провјери да не зађемо", предложила је, показујући свој пејџер.En: I'll lead part of the way, and you make sure we don't stray," she suggested, pointing to her pager.Sr: Имала је планирање и педантност које би могли да их спасу.En: She had planning and meticulousness that could save them.Sr: Никола је увидео да је време да уклони своју упорност.En: Nikola realized it was time to let go of his stubbornness.Sr: "У реду, води нас", рекао је, схватајући да његова жеља да стигне до врха није вредна њихове безбедности.En: "Alright, lead us," he said, understanding that his desire to reach the top wasn't worth their safety.Sr: Две силуета се полако кретала натраг кроз снег.En: The two silhouettes slowly moved back through the snow.Sr: Њихов обострани напор и поверење осећао се у сваком кораку.En: Their mutual effort and trust were felt in every step.Sr: Милица је водила, пажљиво чувајући правац, а Никола је пазио на било какве знаке опасности.En: Milica led, carefully keeping track of the direction, while Nikola watched for any signs of danger.Sr: Када су се најзад пробили кроз снежну олују до подножја, тамо их је дочекала тиха планинска долина, сада изгледајући мирно и доброћудно.En: When they finally broke through the snowstorm to the base, they were greeted by a quiet mountain valley, now looking calm and gentle.Sr: "Захваљујући теби, вратили смо се безбедно", признао је Никола.En: "Thanks to you, we returned safely," admitted Nikola.Sr: "Твоја мара и план били су оно што нас је спасило.En: "Your diligence and plan were what saved us."Sr: "Милица се осмехнула, осећајући ослобађање од своје скромне навике да избегава ризике.En: Milica smiled, feeling a release from her modest habit of avoiding risks.Sr: Осећала је да је данас превише постала део тог авантуристичког света којем се дивила код Николе.En: She felt that today she had become more a part of that adventurous world she admired in Nikola.Sr: Обоје су се загледали у планину, сада завијену у мирну сјајну белину, спремнији за следећу авантуру, али овога пута с више разумевања и поверења.En: Both stared at the mountain, now wrapped in a peaceful, shining whiteness, more ready for the next adventure, but this time with more understanding and trust.Sr: И као што ретко бива у животу, један неуспех претворио се у драгоцену победу — победу поверења и пријатељства.En: And as rarely

A Note from James:Tye Sheridan is one of my favorite actors. You might know him as Cyclops in the X-Men movies (Apocalypse, etc.) or as the lead in Ready Player One—which is not only a great movie but also one of my favorite sci-fi books. One of his first films was Mud with Matthew McConaughey.What I didn't realize: since 2016, while still acting, Tye has also been a serious AI entrepreneur. He and Nikola Todorovic co-founded AI-powered VFX/CGI company, Wonder Dynamics, now an Autodesk company, that built AI tools to make visual effects more accessible.I wanted them both on to talk about how AI will change filmmaking—potentially letting someone like me make a movie that would normally cost hundreds of millions because of VFX—and, just as important, how Tye balanced being a movie star and an entrepreneur at the same time. I also wanted Nikola's take on where AI is going and whether it will take jobs. Fascinating conversation ahead—here are Tye Sheridan and Nikola Todorovic.Episode Description:James sits down with actor–founder Tye Sheridan and VFX director Nikola Todorovic to unpack how their company's AI tools (now part of Autodesk) are changing what small teams can pull off—and what that means for studios, budgets, and actual stories. They trace the path from stitching 360° GoPro rigs and a VR proof-of-concept… to a first demo for Steven Spielberg… to a platform that lets indies do big-look work without big-studio burn. You'll hear clear, non-hyped answers on where text-to-video fits, why they focus on editable 3D over black-box 2D, and a candid take on the only moat that still matters: writing something people care about.What You'll Learn:A workable cost model for VFX-heavy projects: where 10× savings can come from—and where they can't.How to run “lean” on real productions: recruiting cross-disciplinary talent and sequencing funding without chasing hype cycles.3D pipelines vs. text-to-video: why pros need full control of lighting, camera, and performance—and how Sora-style tools can still complement the workflow.Story first, always: the audience forgives limited budgets—not lazy scripts.A pragmatic future for studios and indies: expanding voices without erasing human actors or craft.Timestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] “Hollywood is nervous”: James frames the AI anxiety he's hearing in studio rooms.[00:03:01] A note from James: why Tye's career (from Mud to Ready Player One) made him the right guest—plus Nikola's VFX roots.[00:06:03] Tree of Life to tech startup: meeting on set, Chivo's influence, and early curiosity about tools.[00:13:46] DIY 360° & the Spielberg audition: the VR demo, a $10k experiment, and a first product pitch to Steven.[00:20:12] The question everyone asks: will AI erase studio jobs—or expand what smaller teams can make?[00:24:00] Distribution changed—financing didn't: presales, streaming, strikes, and why a bigger shift is still coming.[00:27:12] Reality check on budgets: VFX vs. SFX, and how a $100M effects bill could land near $10M.[00:36:02] Running lean + real backers: Founders Fund, MaC VC, Horizons; hiring for overlap (CV/ML/VFX/eng).[00:37:44] From waitlist to workflows: who used the platform first, and a TV case where weeks became days.[00:42:12] Sora vs. 3D pipelines: where text-to-video fits—and why pros avoid black-box 2D for final shots.[01:00:45] “A decade of procrastination”: the founders joke about building a company to avoid writing their own film—then set sights on making it.Additional Resources:Tye Sheridan — filmography and roles (Ready Player One, X-Men).

The first set of seven episodes was released on May 27, 2022, while the second set of two episodes was released on July 1, 2022. The season was produced by the show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, along with Shawn Levy, Dan Cohen, Iain Paterson and Curtis Gwinn.Returning as series regulars are Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, Cara Buono, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Matthew Modine and Paul Reiser, while Brett Gelman was promoted to series regular after recurring in the previous two seasons.

Tonight we meet Nikola from Fife in Scotland. Her experiences began in childhood with strange out-of-body sensations, distorted perceptions, and a hand that grabbed her awake in her grandmother's house. As she grew older, the activity continued, including a violent hair-pulling incident during a sleepover and a moment of spoken anger that seemed to echo forward into a real car crash. In the mid-1990s, she and her sister witnessed something that changed everything. A silent metallic sphere hovered in broad daylight over a field near their home in Auchtertool. It moved in ways that didn't make sense. What happened next left a lasting mark on both sisters, and a terrifying feeling that something intelligent was behind it.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-361-the-auchtertool-encounter/Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Balancing Botany: Nikola's Journey to Health Amidst Autumn Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-11-23-08-38-20-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Јесен је у Београду, а Ботаничка башта блиста у свим нијансама црвене, жуте и златне боје.En: Autumn has arrived in Beogradu, and the Botanička bašta glows in all shades of red, yellow, and gold.Sr: Сунце пробија кроз гране, а мало свежег ветра разноси мирисе земље и цвећа.En: The sun pierces through the branches, and a light fresh breeze carries the scents of the earth and flowers.Sr: Никола, страствени ботаничар, проводи сваки тренутак своје слободе у овој зеленој оази.En: Nikola, a passionate botanist, spends every moment of his free time in this green oasis.Sr: Међутим, у последње време, нешто га мучи.En: However, lately, something has been troubling him.Sr: Његови симптоми, који укључују кихање и свраб у очима, увек се погоршавају када је у башти.En: His symptoms, which include sneezing and itchy eyes, always worsen when he's in the garden.Sr: Једног прохладног јесењег дана, његова пријатељица и колегиница Јована дошла је да га види.En: One cool autumn day, his friend and colleague Jovana came to see him.Sr: „Никола, изгледаш уморно,“ рекла је забринуто.En: "Nikola, you look tired," she said with concern.Sr: Никола је уздахнуо.En: Nikola sighed.Sr: „Умор решујем чајем.En: "I solve fatigue with tea.Sr: Али шта да радим са овим кихањем?En: But what do I do with this sneezing?Sr: Не могу да верујем да је башта узрок.En: I can't believe the garden is the cause."Sr: “Њихов заједнички пријатељ Милан, који је често бринуо о практичним стварима у башти, седео је у близини и слушао њихов разговор.En: Their mutual friend Milan, who often took care of practical matters in the garden, was sitting nearby and listening to their conversation.Sr: „Можда би требало да обратиш пажњу на своје здравље,“ предложио је.En: "Maybe you should pay attention to your health," he suggested.Sr: „Ни једно дрво ни цвет не вреди више од твог здравља.En: "No tree or flower is worth more than your health."Sr: “Унутрашњи страх, који је Никола осећао да би могао бити присиљен да напусти башту због свог здравља, био је јачи него икад.En: The inner fear that Nikola felt that he might be forced to leave the garden due to his health was stronger than ever.Sr: Дебатовао је сам са собом, упорно се надајући да би проблем могао бити решен неким другим путем.En: He debated with himself, persistently hoping that the problem could be solved in another way.Sr: Након недеље размишљања и разговора са Јованом и Миланом, Никола је одлучио.En: After a week of thinking and talking with Jovana and Milan, Nikola made a decision.Sr: Посетиће алерголога.En: He would visit an allergist.Sr: „Не могу више игнорисати овај проблем,“ рекао је чврсто.En: "I can't ignore this problem any longer," he said firmly.Sr: „Али, можда ћете морати бринути о башти једно време,“ додао је, гледајући у Јовану и Милана.En: "But you might have to take care of the garden for a while," he added, looking at Jovana and Milan.Sr: Уз подршку својих пријатеља, Никола је отишао на тест алергије.En: With the support of his friends, Nikola went for an allergy test.Sr: Док је седео у чекаоници, срце му је убрзано куцало.En: As he sat in the waiting room, his heart was racing.Sr: Резултати теста су брзо стигли.En: The test results arrived quickly.Sr: Одређена врста полена узроковала је његове симптоме.En: A specific type of pollen was causing his symptoms.Sr: Био је то један од ретких биљака у башти коју је сам посадио.En: It was one of the rare plants in the garden he had planted himself.Sr: Са осећајем олакшања, али и туге, Никола је дошао до закључка.En: With a sense of relief but also sadness, Nikola came to a conclusion.Sr: Сагнуо се над Миланом и Јованом који су га чекали испред ординације, и рекао: „Морам да променим свој начин рада.En: He bent down towards Milan and Jovana who were waiting for him outside the doctor's office and said, "I have to change my way of working.Sr: Али сада знам шта морам да учиним.En: But now I know what I have to do."Sr: “Избегавајући контакт са том специфичном биљком, Никола је прилагодио своју рутину.En: By avoiding contact with that specific plant, Nikola adjusted his routine.Sr: Почео је да држи ствари под контролом и да боље брине о свом здрављу.En: He began to keep things under control and take better care of his health.Sr: Башта је остала његова друга кућа, али сада је научио да цени себе више.En: The garden remained his second home, but now he had learned to value himself more.Sr: Његова љубав према ботаници је још увек била снажна, али сада је разумео важност равнотеже између страсти и личног здравља.En: His love for botany was still strong, but now he understood the importance of balance between passion and personal health.Sr: И док је стајао усред живописних јесењих боја, осетио је у себи нову снагу и захвалност за живот који је водио.En: And as he stood amidst the vibrant autumn colors, he felt within himself a new strength and gratitude for the life he was leading.

Diskutujemo o čoveku koji je sebe smatrao arhitektom novog društva, ali je to društvo platio najvišom mogućom cenom.Veliki skok napred, kulturna revolucija, male crvene knjižice u vazduhu, omladina koja razbija prošlost kao da je neprijatelj, Dugi marš, velika glad, logori za "prevaspitavanje" neistomišljenika: sve to je bila klima, psihologija, ritam Kine, zemlje koja je u istom dahu želela napredak i spaljivanje svega što je ličilo na juče.Kako je seljački sin postao neprikosnoveni vođa čija je "jedna iskra mogla zapaliti celu preriju", zašto je njegova revolucija pojela sopstvenu decu, i kako se ideja o "novom čoveku“ pretvorila u mašineriju koja melje ljude?Kako je njegova vizija Kine, iako toliko kontroverzna i radikalna, uspela da preživi političke lomove XX veka? Šta se dešava kada jedan čovek poveruje da istorija treba da ima samo jednu istinu i jednu putanju?I zašto je svet, uprkos svemu, i dalje opčinjen Maoom?

Meet Jordan Darling, a serial entrepreneur whose journey spans from building the first electric stand-up jet ski to disrupting the $200B building materials industry with his new company, Supersede. In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, Jordan shares how he turned his early passion for engineering into a successful startup that was acquired by Nikola, what he learned during hyper-growth, and why he's now on a mission to reinvent plywood using recycled plastic waste. Jordan breaks down how Supersede's Marine Board is becoming a high-performance, waterproof, fully recyclable alternative to plywood and OSB—solving massive problems like deforestation, supply chain failures, and America's plastic recycling crisis. We also dive into entrepreneurship, risk, partnership, fatherhood, and how he's building not one but two companies (Supersede + Dupe Loops) with his closest friends. If you care about startups, innovation, sustainability, manufacturing, or the future of construction, this is a must-watch.

Transcript:Sr: Војвођанско небо било је плаво и пространо, док је јесенски ветар шапутао кроз поља кукуруза и сунцокрета.En: The Vojvodian sky was blue and vast, while the autumn wind whispered through fields of corn and sunflowers.Sr: Њиве су биле окер боје, прошаране златним лишћем што је тек почело да пада са дрвећа.En: The fields were ochre, scattered with golden leaves just beginning to fall from the trees.Sr: Иза брежуљака, мале фарме су се расуле као бисери, свака са својом причом и људима који су их називали домом.En: Beyond the hills, small farms were spread out like pearls, each with its own story and the people who called them home.Sr: Једну од тих фарми водио је Никола, млади земљорадник у тридесетим.En: One of these farms was run by Nikola, a young farmer in his thirties.Sr: Није било овога јутра када није жудио да заоре своју њиву, осетећи мирис земље која је његовим рукама доносила живот.En: There wasn't a morning when he didn't yearn to plow his field, to feel the scent of the earth that brought life to his hands.Sr: Али, судбина је одлучила другачије.En: But fate had decided otherwise.Sr: Недавно је сломио ногу у несрећи на фарми.En: He had recently broken his leg in a farm accident.Sr: Лежао је у сенци старе шупе, са ногом наслоњеном на стог сена, док му је лице одисало забринутошћу.En: He lay in the shadow of an old shed, his leg propped up on a haystack, his face showing concern.Sr: Никола је често гледао кроз прозор своје куће, посматрајући Милана, његовог најбољег друга, како марљиво ради на њиви.En: Nikola often looked out the window of his house, watching Milan, his best friend, diligently working in the field.Sr: Милан је био спреман да му у свему помогне, али Никола је осећао снажну жељу да поново пронађе своју вредност кроз рад.En: Milan was ready to help him with everything, but Nikola felt a strong desire to rediscover his worth through work.Sr: Његова породица, нарочито сестра Јелена, упорно су га убеђивали да одмара.En: His family, especially his sister Jelena, persistently urged him to rest.Sr: "Мораш се одморити, брате," говорила је Јелена по сто пута на дан.En: "You must rest, brother," Jelena said a hundred times a day.Sr: Њене речи биле су пуне љубави, али и одлучности коју сестра може имати.En: Her words were full of love, but also the determination that only a sister can have.Sr: Никола је знао да је то добар савет, али у његовом срцу је буктала борба.En: Nikola knew it was good advice, but in his heart, there was a raging battle.Sr: "Шта ће рећи комшије ако ме виде беспомоћног?En: "What will the neighbors say if they see me helpless?"Sr: " мислио је.En: he thought.Sr: Осетивши тежину времена, једнога јутра одлучио је да покуша да сам обави посао.En: Feeling the weight of time, one morning he decided to try to do the work himself.Sr: Ослоњен на штап, Никола је кренуо међу редове кукуруза.En: Leaning on a stick, Nikola ventured among the rows of corn.Sr: Бол је сваким кораком постајао јачи, али његова одлучност није попуштала.En: The pain grew stronger with each step, but his determination did not waver.Sr: Једном када се нађе у средини поља, нога му је изненадно попустила, и он се срушио међу стабљике.En: Once he found himself in the middle of the field, his leg suddenly gave way, and he collapsed among the stalks.Sr: Викнула је Јелена, препознавши братовљев болни критик.En: Jelena screamed, recognizing her brother's cry of pain.Sr: Она и Милан пожурили су ка њему.En: She and Milan rushed to his side.Sr: Без речима, помогли су му да се врати до куће.En: Without words, they helped him back to the house.Sr: Док је седео са њима, осетио је смирење које није долазило од сопствене физичке снаге, већ од заједничке љубави и подршке.En: As he sat with them, he felt a calmness that didn't come from his own physical strength but from the shared love and support.Sr: "Морамо се држати заједно, Никола," рекао је Милан, топлим тоном.En: "We must stick together, Nikola," Milan said in a warm tone.Sr: "Твоја вредност није само у ономе што радиш сам.En: "Your worth isn't just in what you do alone."Sr: "Никола је напокон признао сам себи да му пријатељи и породица нису ту да га ослабе, већ да га ојачају.En: Nikola finally admitted to himself that his friends and family were not there to weaken him, but to strengthen him.Sr: Затворио је очи и захвалио се на помоћи коју више није одбијао.En: He closed his eyes and thanked them for the help he no longer refused.Sr: Тиме је разумео да се вредност не мери само радом него и љубављу коју делимо са другима.En: Through this, he understood that worth is not measured only by work but also by the love we share with others.Sr: На крају дана, док је сунце залазило иза златних поља, Никола је осетио нови почетак.En: At the end of the day, as the sun set behind the golden fields, Nikola felt a new beginning.Sr: Била је то зверка јесени која је донела ветар промене и лекцију коју ће чувати заувек.En: It was the beast of autumn that brought the wind of change and a lesson he would cherish forever.

Financial Intelligence. Nikola Jakic from Compass App AI combines your financial data with context to give you confident decision-making.Summary of PodcastIntroductions and backgroundKevin and Graham introduce themselves and welcome their guest Nikola Jakic. Nikola is the founder of a financial AI tool called Compass AI. He provides background on how he came up with the idea for Compass AI based on his experience as a CEO of a software company. Then he discusses the limitations he faced in managing the financial aspects of the business.Overview of Compass AINikola explains that Compass AI combines a company's financial data with business context. Doing this provides insights and recommendations to help founders and fractional CFOs make better decisions. The tool can connect to accounting systems like Xero and QuickBooks, categorise transactions, generate forecasts, and allow users to interact with the data through natural language prompts.Target market and positioningKevin and Graham discuss how Compass AI is positioned to serve small and medium-sized businesses. This as opposed to targeting the enterprise market that many financial software tools focus on. Nikola shares that his initial target audience was founders, but he has also found interest from fractional CFOs who can use the tool to provide more value to their clients.Competitive landscape and growth strategyThe group explores Compass AI's competitive landscape, noting that while there are tools targeting CFOs and larger enterprises. He explains there is less focus on the small business market that Nikola is pursuing. They discuss Nikola's strategy of starting with founders and growing with them as their businesses scale, rather than chasing the enterprise market directly.Recap and next stepsGraham and Kevin provide a positive recap of the discussion and encourage Nikola to continue focusing on his target market and leveraging the natural, conversational style he demonstrated during the podcast. They express enthusiasm for the product and suggest ways Nikola could use snippets of the conversation for marketing purposes.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled ten years ago to help business owners and marketers market to affluent and high-net-worth customers.

Greetings and welcome to Reviews That Burn: Series Reviews, part of Books That Burn. Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books. Full Text Here Powerful noble families known as the beat-of-fours, answerable only to a ruler and the mysterious, godlike fae, scheme and squabble amongst themselves, and go to war for the chance to put one of their own on the throne. But the fae might be pulling more strings than the nobles realize and they definitely have their favorites. A series of love stories loosely centered around the political crisis that led to the current ruler, featuring oblivious librarians, crafty though loving kings, an innocent half-fae noble, a legendary outlaw turned conqueror, worried warriors, clever guards, and an infamous beauty. PUBLISHER: Independently Published LENGTH: ~1000 pages so far AGE: Adult GENRE: Fantasy, Romance RECOMMENDED: Highly Queer Rep Summary: m/m and m/m/m fantasy romance TITLES DISCUSSED A SUITABLE CONSORT (2021) A SUITABLE BODYGUARD (2023) A SUITABLE CAPTIVE (2023) A SUITABLE STRAY (2025)  OTHER TITLES  BLESSED (2024) - Omegaverse AU  A SUITABLE BRAT (2025) Before I get into my review of the series so far, I have two brief announcements! First, I'm excited to announce that I've joined the Creator Accountability Network. CAN is a nonprofit dedicated to reducing harassment and abuse through ethical education and a system of restorative accountability. I joined because I care about the safety and well being of my community members.

Most importantly, get the word out to other creators who you think would be interested in getting credentialed. Help us build safer communities together. Second, the Suitable 'Verse has a new entry! I wrote and recorded this before the November 5th release date (and Patrons get this review early), but by the time this is posted for everyone else, the new novella, "A Suitable Brat" will be available. I reached out to R. Cooper and confirmed that this won't be the end of the series. In my series reviews I've left open the possibility of reviewing a portion of a series that is ongoing, as long as there are at least three books available at the time. In this case, there are four, so I'm proceeding with my post in its original scope. If this series sounds like your thing, there's already more for you to read.   Minimal Spoiler Zone Series Premise Each of these stories follows an achillean romance from the point of view of someone who was not expecting to be desired by anyone, let alone by the person or persons who endeavor to show them just how much they are cherished. Each is told from one person's perspective, generally whomever is the most neurodivergent-coded in the potential relationship, this character will also be either closely or distantly descended from the fae, who have taken an interest in the kingdom where the books are set. This allows for a slow burn feeling without padding the page count to achieve it. I'm fond of books which show someone figuring out not just what they want but how to go about it, especially in the context of a relationship. R. Cooper treats these relationships as ongoing conversations, where words, actions, and body language combine as communication. Different characters need different things, and even among the variously oblivious protagonists there are degrees of understanding, knowledge, and context which they are quicker or slower to realize.    This series is very queer, set in what appears to be a queernorm world where polyamory is accepted and implied to be relatively common. Thus far, sexuality or orientation have not been remarked upon as anything significant, and this trend seems likely to continue. These books feature some politically tense and sometimes violent situations, but do not wield most real-world bigotries as bludgeons. I say "most" because the most prevalent bigotry I spotted was classism, followed by whatever the right term for bigotry against the fae, given the way they are inhuman and neurodivergent-coded. Recommended Reading Order There will be some distant day when this series is complete and it's possible to read the stories from start to finish in chronological order. Today is not that day, and until that point I advise reading them in publication order, especially since that is not the chronological order. I give this advice for anyone who enjoys figuring out timelines, what's going on, and where things relate to other things. Each book's position in the grander saga of political upheaval and new governance helps inform the others in the series, overlapping enough that some pieces could be missing without losing too much of that arc. The loose fit of the stories in relation to one another means that if any of them contain particularly triggering content for an individual reader, that book could be skipped without losing too much of the overall story. The individual stories are self-contained and could be read in any order, but elements of the worldbuilding are explained in varying detail depending on the needs of the individual story. I enjoyed the revelatory feeling of figuring out where the second and third books fit in relation to the first, though I do not consider that information to be a spoiler for any of the stories involved. Instead, they allow for a sense of context and history in this fictional world, and for excitement as the pieces come together for the reader. Here There Be Spoilers Main Characters   Each book has a different set of main characters, and is set in a different point in time. Some characters appear in multiple books, depending on how close they are in time to one another. Even though the different point of view characters have a great deal in common in terms of their autism-coded neurodivergence and general obliviousness to social cues, they're different enough in other respects that it does not feel like they're one character. Mattin is very aware of social forms, rules, and political implications of various actions, he just doesn't seem to think of them as having any positive effects for him, personally. He's likely to get lost in research or chasing some history through the archives. Tiiran is very focused on the rules and the way things ought to be, thinking through what it means when those norms are broken, and what bad actors with corrupt motives might do to preserve current inequalities. He tends to be very pessimistic, thinking of himself as discarded by the Fae and unimportant. Fen doesn't have much of a sense of self-preservation. He'll take risks to achieve a better outcome than the one that would happen if he did nothing. I'm not sure if he's optimistic or just pragmatic, at least in the beginning. By the end, Fen is helping Lan make strategic moves that show he's thinking further ahead than even what Lan had dreamt. Zelli has such a low sense of self preservation that he let himself actually die and needed to be brought back by the fae.  Character Twists In A SUITABLE CONSORT (For the King and His Husband), Mattin is a librarian and advisor to the king, Arden. When one of the nobles suggests the king marry again (said while his husband, Mil, is in the room at Arden's side), the king takes the suggestion seriously and asks Mattin to help him choose someone. Mattin adores the royal couple and the story of their romance, so he compiles a list of potential spouses who would meet the political goals of such a union without being slighted by being a lower priority as the new member of an existing marriage. Despite meeting all the criteria he outlined to Arden and Mil as being relevant for compiling the list, Mattin doesn't for a moment consider putting himself in as a candidate. It turns out that Arden and Mil have already been interested in Mattin, but were worried his apparent lack of interest was because they were too old for him. Arden asks Mattin for advice on courting and then he and Mil proceed to follow all Mattin's advice... on Mattin, who still doesn't realize what they are doing. A crisis at the palace forces the issue when Mattin is in danger and Mil and Arden rescue him, bringing him to their bedroom and providing a space for a conversation which finally clears up the various confusions about each person's actions and intentions. Mattin didn't put himself on the list because he didn't think of himself as someone two people as great as the king and his husband could want. He was very wrong, and they take great delight in showing him how much he is cherished.   Later Series Developments I've become used to the linearity of series in a way that is, I suspect, common for anyone who reads as many books as I do. The Suitable 'Verse, as published, is not a linear story, and I think it's stronger for it. The larger context builds slowly, requiring minimal description in subsequent books to place them in relation to A Suitable Consort. This may be a chance meeting between characters, an epilogue, or the shape of the current situation in a more general sense.    In A SUITABLE STRAY, Tiiran spent a long while completely oblivious to the fact that not only are both Orin and Nikola interested in him, but that he desire both of them and wants to be desired in return. Because most of this book is not spent with anyone in active danger, at least as far as Tiiran knows, the pacing is more languid, with more room to linger in each phase. In contrast to A SUITABLE CONSORT, where two-thirds of the book was spent with Mattin completely oblivious to how he was being courted, A SUITABLE STRAY has more time spent with Tiiran actively in a sexual relationship. This is while, somehow, taking even longer to realize that the way Tiiran has become entangled with Orin and Nikola means that he is not just pleasantly passing time with them, but in love with them and wants the three of them to be together. In A SUITABLE CAPTIVE, Fen offers himself almost immediately to the so-called "Wild Dog", seeming to accept the idea that Lan (as he prefers to be known) might use his body in the course of that captivity. Fen is hoping for no more than that it would be a better version of the fate he had avoided by running away and accidentally getting captured in the first place. To me, it seemed fairly obvious that Lan was interested in Fen, but, without quite using this language, he was mindful of the power dynamic between them. Lan is as powerfully averse to taking advantage of Fen as he is attracted to him. Gradually, they negotiate the space between them, growing to understand each other better. Over time, that new understanding eases their communication, which in turn allows for their physical situation to become more intimate in a way that is meaningful to both of them. They built a personal ritual that is unique to them, and part took in a along established ritual from Fen's mother's people.    Themes Series themes include difference and belonging, found or chosen family, and obligations of care. There's a focus on communication, and the importance of paying attention to both speech and silence, of noticing when someone isn't all right.  Fae heritage is used metaphorically for a blend of real-world characteristics for which people are often marginalized, but as a fantasy analogue it carries very little of the baggage which would accompany its realistic counterparts. As with any marginalization, the fae-touched protagonists have different reactions to their various levels of fae heritage. This heritage manifests unevenly, giving them smaller-than-human-average stature, but also some... flashier differences, such as hair which moves of its own whim and eyes which rapidly change color. Their fae-touched natures were a very minor detail for Mattin in A SUITABLE CONSORT, but a very important part of A SUITABLE CAPTIVE and A SUITABLE STRAY. Tiiran hates the fae, loudly saying "Fuck the Fae" if anyone mentions them positively. He views them as child-abandoners, passive observers of the world's injustices when they have the power and responsibility to do much more than just intervene in politics and sire random children.  Twists and Turns Normally, when looking at individual books in a series, I note whether they leave something for later books to pick up. This is an odd case where the first book left space for stories set before and after it. It builds the impression that this is a place with a history, and bits of that history are being fleshed out a little at a time through these romances. The most shocking moment for me was getting to the epilogue of A SUITABLE CAPTIVE and realizing when it was set in relation to A SUITABLE CONSORT. Having looked at R. Cooper's website, I don't think that is a spoiler, precisely, but it is the kind of detail I enjoyed realizing in the moment.  Current Status The series is ongoing, with a novella releasing this very month. I don't know how many books are planned, and I don't think it matters, not to me as a reader. These books are a delight, and I will read as many of them as R. Cooper writes. The open structure distributes the narrative weight until there's a lot of room for more stories to fill the vacant space. A palace has a great many people in it, with the whole country being larger still, which would allow for many books taking place even before the timeline is considered. The earliest book so far takes place several hundred years before the events of A SUITABLE CONSORT, and there have been several mentions of when the old queen was deposed.

Bio je previše glasan, previše samouveren, previše svestan da istorija pamti samo one koji tresnu šakom o sto. Generali su ga mrzeli, novinari obožavali, a narod... narod ga je slušao jer niko nije znao da govori kao on.Nikola Đukić i Nikola Šipka otvaraju jedno od najzanimljivijih poglavlja XX veka: život, uspon i pad čoveka koji je u isto vreme bio i spasilac Evrope i simbol britanskog imperijalnog ponosa. Čerčil, večiti buntovnik sa cigarom i čašom viskija, pesnik u uniformi, političar koji je znao da gubi sa stilom i pobeđuje uz osvetu.Od rovova Burskog rata do bunkera pod Londonom, od govora koji su dizali moral naciji do odluka koje su koštale hiljade života - epizoda istražuje njegovu senku i sjaj, sva lica čoveka koji je uvek balansirao na granici između heroja i autokrate, između vizije i sujete.Danas pričamo o upornosti, sujeti i neverovatnom instinktu za istorijski trenutak. Ali i o senkama koje prate svaki mit; od kolonijalne politike i rasnih stavova do kontroverznih odluka u ratu, teškoj i komplikovanoj ličnosti koja ne pristaje da se uklapa ni po koju cenu.

To je vreme kada se Srbija, nakon Velike seobe, našla između dva sveta: između Beča i Carigrada, između imperija koje su odlučivale o njenoj sudbini. Dok su jedni videli budućnost u habzburškom redu i zapadnom poretku, drugi su još uvek gledali ka starom, poznatom Istoku. Istoričar Nikola Đukić i istoričar umetnosti dr Nikola Piperski razgovaraju o Srbiji pod Habzburškom monarhijom, o provinciji - kraljevini, o pokušajima da se izgradi nova uprava i o tome kako je sve to izgledalo iz perspektive naroda koji je živeo između carskih odluka i svakodnevne borbe za opstanak; o narodu koji je, između tuđih granica, pokušavao da pronađe sopstveni identitet. Srbija je bila strateški prostor, koridor između Beča i Carigrada, i svaka vojska koja bi prešla Dunav smatrala je da ima pravo da je preuredi po svom modelu.

Už v novembri sa po šiestich rokoch obnoví pravidelná letecká linka Bratislava - Košice. Deje sa to zároveň s tým, ako naše najväčšie letisko ožíva a profituje z novej politiky rakúskeho Schwechatu.Maďarský Wizz Air v ňom ruší základňu a časť biznisu presúva do Bratislavy. Tu sa však musí pasovať s najväčšími európskymi aerolinkami Ryanair, ktoré mu v konkurenčnom boji zatiaľ naozaj nič nechcú darovať.Vydrží Wizz Air tento tlak? Udrží pri živote spojenie hlavného mesta a metropoly východu, na ktoré získal od Slovenska licenciu a dotáciu?

Leto 1944. nije donelo samo Normandiju. Na Istočnom frontu odigravala se ofanziva kakvu svet do tada nije video. Front se raspadao, gradovi su padali. U Belorusiji je pukla kičma Vermahta. Pod velom maskirovke, sovjetske armije udaraju istovremeno na Vitebsk, Oršu, Mogiljev i Bobrujsk; kolone se rasipaju, komandne veze nestaju, a grupa armija Centar prestaje da postoji brže nego što je ikada sanjala nemačka komanda. U samo nekoliko nedelja pada Minsk, front se pomera stotinama kilometara, a „nepobediva” mašina Trećeg rajha pretvara se u improvizovani haos i povlačenje bez plana. Kumovi Nikola Đukić i Nikola Šipka vode nas kroz anatomiju ove ofanzive: kako je sovjetska obmana zaslepela nemačku obaveštajnu službu; zašto su naređenja „držati liniju” i "nema povlačenja" bila presuda, a ne strategija; šta su uradili Rokosovski, Žukov i komandanti frontova da preseku nemačku odbranu po dubini; zašto je oslobađanje Minska označilo tačku bez povratka za Rajh. I kako je operacija Bagration postala najveći nemački poraz u Drugom svetskom ratu i stvarni početak kraja?

Podporte Dobré ráno na HeroHero: ⁠https://herohero.co/dobrerano/subscribe⁠Poplatky u lekárov sa stali bežnou súčasťou praxe a zdravotnú starostlivosť pre mnohých znemožňujú. Ročne nás to v priemere každého jedného a jednu stojí desiatky eur. Individuálne príbehy dokážu hovoriť o stovkách eur, ktoré nechávame v ambulanciách a iných zdravotníckych zariadeniach.Posvietil si na ne úrad pre dohľad nad zdravotnou starostlivosťou, ombudsman, najvyšší kontrolný úrad či niekoľko auditov a prieskumov vykonaných viacerými ministrami zdravotníctva. Napriek tomu tu stále sú a keď príde opatrenie, nájdu pre ne okľuku.To, či sa dá fungovať bez nich, ako ich obhajujú lekári a čo to máme v zdravotníctve za situáciu, keď popri odvodoch znášame poplatky, a súkromná poisťovňa si vypláca miliónové dividendy, sa Nikola Šuliková Bajánová pýta Jána Krempaského, redaktora domácej redakcie denníka SME.Zdroje zvukov: STVR, TA3OdporúčanieUž to tak býva, že streamovacia služba Applu produkuje naozaj kvalitné seriály, no nevie si ich odpromovať.

Parlament schválil štátny rozpočet na budúci rok. Už teraz je jasné, že ekonomickej situácii Slovenska plánované hospodárenie veľmi nepomôže.Dlh narastie, deficit neklesne tak, ako si to predstavuje minister financií Ladislav Kamenický a konsolidáciu ponesú na svojich pleciach hlavne občania.Čo nás čaká a vieme sa na to nejako pripraviť?
