They explore the importance of transformational experiences and how simple gatherings can lead to deeper connections among men. Key Insights Transformational Experiences: Men often seek meaningful experiences that can lead to personal growth and connection. Frank shares how participating in F3 and Warrior Heart boot camps has profoundly changed his perspective on leadership and relationships. Gathering for Brotherhood: The act of gathering, whether for workouts or casual meet-ups, is crucial for building community. Frank emphasizes that men need spaces where they can connect and share their experiences authentically. Authenticity in Leadership: Leaders should prioritize creating environments where vulnerability is encouraged. This can be achieved by moving away from rigid lesson structures and focusing on genuine interactions. Shifting Perspectives: Frank discusses the importance of recognizing limiting beliefs and perspectives that can hinder personal growth. Leaders should help others see beyond their current views to embrace a broader understanding of their purpose. Simplicity in Engagement: Simple gatherings, such as meeting for hot dogs or casual discussions, can effectively draw men together and foster meaningful conversations, making it easier for them to engage with one another. Leadership Applications Focus on Gathering: Latter-day Saint leaders can prioritize creating informal gatherings that encourage connection among men, such as breakfast meetings or service projects, rather than strictly adhering to lesson plans. Encourage Vulnerability: Leaders should model vulnerability and openness in their interactions, creating a safe space for others to share their thoughts and feelings, which can lead to stronger bonds within the group. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Leaders can facilitate discussions that help members identify and overcome limiting beliefs, encouraging them to explore their divine potential and purpose within the community.

Transcript:Ca: L'aire fred del matí travessava les finestres antigues del col·legi internat, situat en un racó pintoresc dels Pirineus.En: The cold morning air passed through the old windows of the boarding school, situated in a picturesque corner of the Pirineus.Ca: Clara, una jove de catorze anys, observava el paisatge cobert de neu des de la seva classe.En: Clara, a fourteen-year-old girl, observed the snow-covered landscape from her classroom.Ca: Les muntanyes reflectien la llum del sol amb una bellesa que provocava un somriure tímid a la seva cara.En: The mountains reflected the sunlight with a beauty that brought a timid smile to her face.Ca: Clara era una noia reservada, però amb una determinació oculta que només els que l'observaven de prop podien intuir.En: Clara was a reserved girl, but with a hidden determination that only those who observed her closely could sense.Ca: El seu majúscul repte era la seva asma, un company constant que sovint la feia sentir sola i vulnerable.En: Her biggest challenge was her asthma, a constant companion that often made her feel lonely and vulnerable.Ca: Aquest hivern, però, tenia una meta clara: participar en la caminada organitzada pel col·legi per final de trimestre.En: This winter, however, she had a clear goal: to participate in the hike organized by the school at the end of the term.Ca: Voldria demostrar a si mateixa i als altres que no era fràgil.En: She wanted to prove to herself and others that she was not fragile.Ca: "Mira, Clara!En: "Look, Clara!"Ca: " va cridar l'Elena, la seva amiga, mentre assenyalava el cartell de la caminada penjat al passadís.En: shouted Elena, her friend, as she pointed to the hike poster hanging in the hallway.Ca: Clara va somriure amb entusiasme, però també amb una certa ansietat.En: Clara smiled with enthusiasm, but also with a certain anxiety.Ca: En Jordi, el mestre de ciències, sabia que el clima de muntanya era dur per a algú amb asma.En: Jordi, the science teacher, knew that the mountain climate was tough for someone with asthma.Ca: "Clara, estàs segura que vols fer aquesta caminada?En: "Clara, are you sure you want to do this hike?"Ca: ", li va preguntar amb preocupació.En: he asked her with concern.Ca: "Sí, Jordi.En: "Yes, Jordi.Ca: Estic preparada.En: I am prepared.Ca: Portaré el meu inhalador i un pla per si passa res", va respondre Clara amb decisió.En: I will bring my inhaler and a plan just in case," Clara responded with determination.Ca: El dia de la caminada, el paisatge estava cobert de neu, i el grup de joves es va endinsar pel camí que serpentejava per la muntanya.En: On the day of the hike, the landscape was covered in snow, and the group of young people set off on the path that wound through the mountain.Ca: Clara seguia endavant amb pas ferm, gaudint de cada respiració d'aire fred, però conscient de les seves limitacions.En: Clara continued with a steady pace, enjoying every breath of cold air, but aware of her limitations.Ca: Tot anava bé fins que, a mig camí, Clara va sentir un pes al pit.En: Everything was going well until midway, when Clara felt a heaviness in her chest.Ca: El seu ritme respiratori es va tornar erràtic, i l'angoixa li va envair el rostre.En: Her breathing became erratic, and anxiety spread across her face.Ca: Elena va notar el canvi immediatament.En: Elena noticed the change immediately.Ca: "Jordi, Clara no pot respirar bé!En: "Jordi, Clara can't breathe well!"Ca: "El grup es va aturar.En: The group stopped.Ca: En Jordi va actuar ràpidament, reunint els alumnes mentre Elena ajudava Clara a utilitzar el seu inhalador.En: Jordi acted quickly, gathering the students while Elena helped Clara use her inhaler.Ca: Els moments es feien eterns, però amb cada alè forçat, Clara començava a recuperar-se lentament.En: The moments seemed endless, but with each labored breath, Clara began to recover slowly.Ca: Quan van tornar al col·legi, l'aire internat semblava menys opressiu que el de la muntanya.En: When they returned to the school, the air inside seemed less oppressive than that of the mountain.Ca: Clara va restar en silenci una estona, reflexionant sobre el que havia passat.En: Clara remained silent for a while, reflecting on what had happened.Ca: Entenia ara que no era feblesa acceptar les seves limitacions, sinó un senyal de saviesa.En: She now understood that it was not a weakness to accept her limitations, but a sign of wisdom.Ca: Els seus amics i professors, però, parlaven admirats de la seva valentia i del seu esforç per ser ella mateixa, malgrat les dificultats.En: Her friends and teachers, however, spoke admiringly of her bravery and effort to be herself, despite the difficulties.Ca: L'endemà, Clara, mirant la vall des del seu pupitre, va comprendre que la seva força estava en la seva perseverança i en prendre decisions encertades.En: The next day, Clara, looking at the valley from her desk, realized that her strength was in her perseverance and making wise decisions.Ca: No era menys independent per tenir cura de la seva salut.En: She was not any less independent for taking care of her health.Ca: Era al contrari, més forta.En: On the contrary, she was stronger.Ca: I així, al fred dels Pirineus, Clara va descobrir que la resiliència es troba en l'acceptació i en la cura de si mateixa, sabent que lluitar pel que volia, sempre i quan tingués cura, era el seu veritable triomf.En: And so, in the cold of the Pirineus, Clara discovered that resilience lies in acceptance and self-care, knowing that fighting for what she wanted, as long as she took care, was her true triumph.

On today's show, Richard and Alison hop on a boxcar and stare wistfully as the 20th century passes them by with Best Picture nominee Train Dreams. They discuss director Clint Bentley's lush, if somewhat sanded-down take on Denis Johnson's novella about a lumberman haunted by his past, starring a very quiet Joel Edgerton. Train Dreams is one of Netflix's Best Picture nominees this year, but the film was not an original production. It was acquired by the streamer at last year's Sundance Film Festival. On the occasion of this year's festival (which is happening as we speak) we also discuss how Sundance works, and what, exactly gives a movie that ineffable Sundance flavor we have come to associate with small-scale American indies like Little Miss Sunshine. We also discuss Netflix's seemingly endless quest to win Best Picture, why the Academy is so resistant to giving them the big prize, and why the most popular streamer in the world is so desperate for Academy validation in the first place.

In early 2024, executives at artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic ramped up an ambitious project they sought to keep quiet. It was code-named Project Panama, and internal documents filed in court described it as an “effort to destructively scan all the books in the world.”According to the filings, the company had spent tens of millions of dollars to acquire and slice the spines off potentially millions of books, before scanning their pages to feed knowledge into the AI models behind products such as Claude, its popular chatbot. A judge ruled this fair use.Details of Project Panama emerged in more than 4,000 pages of documents in a copyright lawsuit brought by book authors against Anthropic. The company agreed to pay $1.5 billion to settle the case in August – but a district judge's decision last week to unseal a slew of documents in the case more fully revealed Anthropic's zealous pursuit of books.Today on “Post Reports,” technology reporter Will Oremus explains the lengths to which AI firms such as Anthropic, Meta, Google and OpenAI went to obtain colossal troves of data with which to “train” their software – a frantic and sometimes clandestine race to acquire the collected works of humanity. He and host Martine Powers discuss how AI companies' efforts sometimes might have crossed over into the illegal, and how authors and artists might fare in an AI-centered future. Today's show was produced by Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Dennis Funk and mixed by Sam Bair.Subscribe to The Washington Post here.
49ers legends assembled Tuesday night for the premier of a docu-series chronicling San Francisco's rise from NFL anonymity into a dynastic era of success marked by five Lombardi Trophies. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the impact San Francisco's golden era of the 80's and 90's has had on the organization, fanbase and league in general. The duo details how the current iteration of the 49ers can benefit from the foundation set by such transformative players and front office personnel. Matt and Jennifer later touch on former Patriots coach Bill Belichick's first-ballot Hall of Fame snub, and compare the 49ers to their division rivals who last week played in the NFC Championship and break down what steps San Francisco needs to take to match their dominance.--(0:00) Seahawks look like prohibitive Super Bowl LX favorites(2:30) Discussing three possible candidates to replace Saleh as DC(5:00) Where 49ers must improve after watching NFC West rivals thrive(15:00) Recapping fallout from ex-Patriots coach Bill Belichick's first-ballot HOF snub(30:00) Former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo interview(33:00) Former 49ers general manager Carmen Policy interview(38:00) Joe Montana Interview(45:00) Steve Young Interview(51:00) Jerry Rice Interview Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about what it feels like to be alive in a world that seems like it's on fire - the grief, fear, anger, overwhelm and helplessness so many people are carrying.I connect the dots between abusive power and how those in power benefit from keeping us exhausted, distracted, and in despair.I also remind us that “they've always killed the helpers” - from Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. to the modern-day helpers in the streets - and why that makes our presence and courage even more necessary, not less.We talk about nervous system regulation, breathing practices, EFT / Tapping, “rest as resistance”, spiritual practices, and Stoic principles like focusing on what is and isn't in our control.I share practical tools for resourcing ourselves so we can be effective helpers instead of burned-out bystanders and I walk through simple ways to calm your body and mind - so you're not operating from fear, but from a more grounded, loving, and powerful place.I wrap things up by inviting you to honestly explore your role and capacity: Are you an ally, an advocate, or an activist? Are you a citizen, reformer, rebel, or change agent?Mostly, I encourage you to ask yourself about your unique talents, experience, and gifts and how they might be used for good right now - “What can I actually do with who I am,, what I know, and what I have?”Whether that's speaking up, donating, organizing, making phone calls, creating art, caring for your neighbors, or quietly holding space.At the heart of it all is a spiritual call: “Please use me. May I be in service to love.” ❤️KAREN KENNEY BIO:Karen Kenney is a certified Spiritual Mentor, Writer, Podcaster and Coach.

Nobody likes shopping. But it's worse when you're in someone else's body. On the run, low on supplies, and badly in need of a reset, the Bastards hit a station to shop. Cleo needs clothes. Everyone needs a break. Instead, they find subpar fishing merch, a hitchhiker, and a whole lot of eye contact from two shifty strangers. But hey!

Transcript:Ca: El sol brillava intensament a la plaça de la comunitat indígena Guarani al Paraguai.En: The sun shone intensely in the square of the comunitat indígena Guarani in Paraguay.Ca: Els arbres grans proporcionaven una ombra agradable, sota la qual es reunien les persones del poble.En: The large trees provided a pleasant shade, under which the people of the village gathered.Ca: Les parades de artesania decoraven el lloc amb colors vius i una música tradicional sonava de fons, mentre els nens corrien entremig de la gent.En: Craft stalls decorated the place with vivid colors and traditional music played in the background, while children ran among the people.Ca: Oriol, un viatger curiós, havia arribat aquell matí.En: Oriol, a curious traveler, had arrived that morning.Ca: Volia aprendre sobre la cultura local i, sobretot, impressionar els amables Guarani preparant un mate, la seva beguda tradicional.En: He wanted to learn about the local culture and, above all, impress the friendly Guarani by preparing a mate, their traditional drink.Ca: Laia i Pau, els seus amics, l'acompanyaven i es reien de la seva entusiasme per barrejar-se amb la comunitat.En: Laia and Pau, his friends, accompanied him and laughed at his enthusiasm for mingling with the community.Ca: Amb ganes de començar, Oriol va demanar prestat un porongo, la carabassa típica per fer mate, i una bombilla, aquell peculiar tub de metall.En: Eager to get started, Oriol borrowed a porongo, the typical gourd used for making mate, and a bombilla, that peculiar metal straw.Ca: Els locals observaven amb una mescla de curiositat i diversió mentre Oriol intentava aconseguir l'equilibri entre la quantitat exacta de yerba mate i l'aigua calenta.En: The locals watched with a mix of curiosity and amusement as Oriol tried to achieve the perfect balance between the exact amount of yerba mate and hot water.Ca: La primera vegada que ho va intentar, Oriol va abocar massa aigua i ràpidament es va cremar la mà.En: The first time he tried, Oriol poured too much water and quickly burned his hand.Ca: La gent de la plaça va exclamar com si fos una competició i alguns van riure's amistosament.En: The people in the square gasped as if it were a competition, and some laughed good-naturedly.Ca: Lluny de desanimar-se, Oriol somreia i deia entre rialles, "Això és més difícil del que sembla!En: Far from being discouraged, Oriol smiled and said through laughter, "This is harder than it looks!"Ca: "Determinants a triomfar, va decidir provar-ho de nou.En: Determined to succeed, he decided to try again.Ca: Aquesta vegada, la bombilla es va desencaixar i va vessar la yerba pel terra, provocant una altra riallada general.En: This time, the bombilla came loose and spilled the yerba on the ground, causing another general laugh.Ca: En comptes de renunciar, Oriol va aixecar el cap i va comentar: "Em sembla que la yerba prefereix estar en llibertat!En: Instead of giving up, Oriol raised his head and commented, "I think the yerba prefers to be free!"Ca: "La resposta de la comunitat va ser de solidaritat.En: The community's response was of solidarity.Ca: Un vell Guarani es va acostar i, amb paciència, va mostrar-li a Oriol com es feia correctament.En: An old Guarani man approached and patiently showed Oriol how to do it correctly.Ca: La plaça es va convertir en una aula improvisada amb Oriol aprenent i repetint cada gest sota la supervisió dels entusiasmats observadors.En: The square became an impromptu classroom with Oriol learning and repeating every gesture under the supervision of the eager onlookers.Ca: Aquesta vegada, l'aigua va caure suaument per la bombilla fent un delicat murmuri.En: This time, the water gently flowed through the bombilla with a delicate murmur.Ca: Finalment, Oriol va aconseguir preparar un mate decent i va oferir el seu primer tast als seus nous amics.En: Finally, Oriol managed to prepare a decent mate and offered his first taste to his new friends.Ca: Els Guarani van aclamar la seva perseverança i tots el van felicitar amb palmades a l'espatlla.En: The Guarani applauded his perseverance, and everyone congratulated him with pats on the back.Ca: Oriol es va adonar que la clau era la humilitat i l'ajuda de tota la comunitat.En: Oriol realized that the key was humility and the help of the entire community.Ca: Havia après que el més important no era fer el mate a la perfecció, sinó compartir momentàniament les vides i els costums locals, rient i aprenent de les diferències culturals.En: He had learned that the most important thing was not making the perfect mate, but momentarily sharing the lives and customs of the locals, laughing and learning from cultural differences.Ca: La plaça continuava plena de vida, i Oriol, amb un somriure sincer, es va sentir més a prop que mai d'un món abans desconegut per ell.En: The square remained full of life, and Oriol, with a sincere smile, felt closer than ever to a world previously unknown to him.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick and Dr. Donald Prudlo explore the intricate relationship between Plato and St. Thomas Aquinas, examining how Aquinas's thought is influenced by Platonic philosophy while also being rooted in Aristotle. We are reading the PURGATORIO for Lent!Check out our LIBRARY OF GUIDES TO THE GREAT BOOKS.See Dr. Prudlo's books on St. Thomas, administration, and more!They discuss the nuances of Aquinas' understanding of universals, the nature of evil, and the significance of the body in Christian anthropology, highlighting the complexities of Aquinas's intellectual context and the historical development of these philosophical ideas. They discuss how Aquinas synthesized various philosophical traditions, particularly in his understanding of existence and essence, the role of beauty, and the moral implications of his metaphysics. The dialogue also touches on the early church's reception (or rejection) of Aristotle, the influence of Islamic philosophy, and the evolution of Aquinas' thought throughout his life. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the richness of Aquinas' philosophy and its relevance to contemporary discussions on faith and reason.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Great Books Podcast03:11 Experiencing the Papal Conclave06:34 Plato and Aquinas: A Complex Relationship12:43 Aquinas' Intellectual Evolution17:02 The Importance of Reading the Great Books24:25 Platonic Thought in Aquinas' Philosophy34:48 The Quest for Certitude in Philosophy37:20 Realism and the Nature of Universals40:56 Mind-Body Dualism and the Significance of the Body47:36 The Reception of Aristotle in Early Christianity54:09 The Distinction Between Essence and Existence01:04:53 The Role of Beauty in Aquinas' Philosophy01:06:38 Exploring Beauty in Philosophy01:11:23 The Role of Beauty in St. Thomas Aquinas01:13:44 The Ladder of Love and Its Implications01:19:18 Essence and Existence in Thomistic Thought01:21:41 The Hierarchy of Being and Divine Wisdom01:25:22 The Evolution of Aquinas' Thought01:27:35 Understanding Aquinas Through His Influences01:30:17 Final Thoughts on Faith and ReasonTakeawaysAquinas is often mischaracterized as purely Aristotelian.The relationship between Plato and Aristotle is more complex (and harmonious) than often portrayed.Aquinas' thought is enriched by both Platonic and Aristotelian influences.Evil is understood as a privation of the good in Aquinas's philosophy.Aquinas' understanding of universals differs from both Plato and Aristotle.The concept of exitus and reditus is a key Neoplatonic idea in Aquinas.The mind-body dualism presents challenges for Christian thought.Aquinas retained Platonic emphasis on the...

In this groundbreaking episode of Pushing the Limits, we sit down with Christian Drapeau, MSc - stem cell scientist, author of Cracking the Stem Cell Code, and founder & Chief Science Officer of the regenerative health company Stemregen. Christian shares his 25-plus years of pioneering research into stem cells and regenerative biology, beginning with his revolutionary idea that stem cells are the body's innate repair system, not just a medical oddity studied in labs. What We Discuss in This Episode The History of Stem Cell Science: How Christian's early neurophysiology work led him to explore blue-green algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) and its surprising effects on immune health. Early hypotheses and lab studies that showed certain natural compounds actually increase circulating stem cells, kick-starting the idea of Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization (ESCM). The Quest for Natural Stem Cell Mobilisers: Christian's global travels to find powerful plant medicines used in traditional cultures, from Madagascar's Aloe macroclada to sea buckthorn from the Tibetan plateau, and how these botanicals can increase stem cell circulation by as much as 80%. Stemregen Science & Products: We unpack Christian's work validating that increasing your own stem cells in circulation can support tissue repair, healthy aging, and whole-body regeneration, hitting at the heart of why so many chronic conditions persist. What the Stemregen Protocol includes: STEMREGEN Release — designed to support your body's natural release and migration of stem cells. Stemregen Mobilise — supports stem cell delivery by improving microcirculation and capillary health. Stemregen Signal — enhances cellular communication so stem cells can navigate to where they're needed most. Incredible Cases & Stories: Christian highlights compelling real-world cases showing how enhancing stem cell circulation supports recovery, improved vitality, and quality of life, not by treating symptoms, but by strengthening the body's own repair system. Stem Cell Therapies: Pros & Cons We also dive into conventional stem cell therapies (umbilical, adult stem cells, exosomes), contrasting them with the natural approach Christian advocates, including safety, effectiveness, and longevity implications. Why We Age: A New Perspective Christian previews his upcoming book on aging - reframing aging as a balance between repair vs. regeneration speed, and what practical lifestyle and botanical strategies can help tip the scales towards regeneration.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: The Quest for Purple: A Journey to Discovery in the Amazonas Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-01-26-08-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Jakob tog en dyb indånding og trådte ind i Amazonas regnskov med et drømmende blik.En: Jakob took a deep breath and stepped into the Amazonas rainforest with a dreamy look.Da: Det var sommer på den sydlige halvkugle, og luften var varm og fugtig.En: It was summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and the air was warm and humid.Da: Hans støvler sank ned i den bløde jord, hvor farvestrålende blade og tordenmos vældede op omkring ham.En: His boots sank into the soft soil, where colorful leaves and thunder moss swelled up around him.Da: Solens stråler trængte igennem det tykke trækronetag og kastede et magisk lysspil på skovbunden.En: The sun's rays pierced through the thick tree canopy, casting a magical play of light on the forest floor.Da: Det lød som om skoven trak vejret – et orkester af insekter, fugle og fjerne aber gav deres bidrag.En: It sounded as if the forest was breathing – an orchestra of insects, birds, and distant monkeys contributed their parts.Da: Jakob var ikke alene.En: Jakob was not alone.Da: Freja og Mikkel fulgte ham, begge med ryksække fulde af forskningsudstyr.En: Freja and Mikkel followed him, both with backpacks full of research equipment.Da: Freja, en dyrelivsekspert, og Mikkel, botaniker med et skarpt øje og skeptisk sind.En: Freja, a wildlife expert, and Mikkel, a botanist with a keen eye and a skeptical mind.Da: De havde alle travlt, men Jakob havde sit eget mål – at finde en ny planteart, der ville give ham en plads i historiebøgerne.En: They were all busy, but Jakob had his own goal – to find a new plant species that would secure him a place in the history books.Da: "Er du sikker på, at der er noget værd at finde her, Jakob?"En: "Are you sure there's anything worthwhile to find here, Jakob?"Da: spurgte Freja og tørrede sveden af panden.En: asked Freja, wiping the sweat from her forehead.Da: Mikkel nikkede og tilføjede, "Jeg har hørt mange teorier, men vi skal se beviser."En: Mikkel nodded and added, "I've heard many theories, but we need to see evidence."Da: Jakob svarede ikke direkte, han kunne mærke deres tvivl.En: Jakob didn't answer directly; he could feel their doubt.Da: Men det gav ham kun mere vilje til at fortsætte.En: But it only gave him more determination to continue.Da: Hans mentors ord om udholdenhed og troen på det utænkelige lød i hans ører.En: His mentor's words about perseverance and belief in the unthinkable echoed in his ears.Da: Regnskoven var tæt og vanskelig at navigere, men Jakob nægtede at give op.En: The rainforest was dense and difficult to navigate, but Jakob refused to give up.Da: De gik dybere ind i skoven.En: They went deeper into the forest.Da: Stierne blev mere udfordrende, og Jakob spekulerede over, om de nogensinde ville nå målet.En: The paths became more challenging, and Jakob wondered if they would ever reach the goal.Da: Men så, pludselig, ved kanten af en skrænt, så han det – en usædvanlig plante med livlige, lilla blomster og brede blade.En: But then, suddenly, at the edge of a cliff, he saw it – an unusual plant with vibrant purple flowers and broad leaves.Da: Hans hjerte sprang et slag over.En: His heart skipped a beat.Da: Problemet var nu, at planten var vanskelig at nå.En: The problem now was that the plant was difficult to reach.Da: Den voksede farligt tæt på en dyb afgrund.En: It grew perilously close to a deep precipice.Da: Jakob vidste, han måtte være forsigtig.En: Jakob knew he had to be careful.Da: Han trådte et skridt tilbage og tænkte.En: He took a step back and thought.Da: "Vi skal få fat i den uden at risikere noget," sagde Jakob beslutsomt.En: "We have to get it without risking anything," Jakob said determinedly.Da: Freja havde en idé.En: Freja had an idea.Da: Hun foreslog, at de kunne bruge rebet i deres udstyr, sammen med abe-vævede og stærke lianer, til at danne en sikker måde at nå blomsten.En: She suggested that they could use the rope in their equipment, along with monkey-woven and strong vines, to create a safe way to reach the flower.Da: Sammen, i harmoni og med stor forsigtighed, lykkedes det dem at dokumentere planten.En: Together, in harmony and with great caution, they succeeded in documenting the plant.Da: Jakob skænkede Freja et taknemmeligt smil.En: Jakob gave Freja a grateful smile.Da: "Jeg kunne ikke have gjort det uden jer," sagde han med en ny erkendelse af kraften i samarbejde.En: "I couldn't have done it without you," he said with a new realization of the power of collaboration.Da: Da de forlod stedet, følte Jakob sig lettere.En: As they left the site, Jakob felt lighter.Da: Skoven brusede af liv som en ven, man lige har lært at kende bedre.En: The forest thrummed with life like a friend you have just gotten to know better.Da: Jakob følte en fornyet tillid.En: Jakob felt a renewed confidence.Da: Sammen med Freja og Mikkel gik han ud af skoven, ikke bare som enkeltperson, men som en del af et team, der havde overvundet tvivl og vist, hvad tro kan opnå.En: Along with Freja and Mikkel, he walked out of the forest, not just as an individual, but as part of a team that had overcome doubt and demonstrated what belief can achieve.Da: Det videnskabelige samfund ventede, men denne gang gjorde han det med en ny styrke og respekt for dem omkring ham.En: The scientific community awaited, but this time he faced it with a new strength and respect for those around him.

"In 1960s New York City lived a blind, often homeless man with a long, flowing beard, who dressed as a Viking and stood sentinel at the corner of West 54th Street and Sixth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. He sold his poetry and performed on custom-built percussion. His recordings are considered legendary pieces of original sound emanating from a unique artist who continues to be misunderstood and under appreciated.""Nico was used to being treated as a physical spectacle. At the Dom, Leonard Cohen was a regular guest, and he began writing songs in hopes of seducing her. Her improbable bone structure, and her role in “La Dolce Vita,” intrigued prominent rock managers like Albert Grossman, who worked with Bob Dylan. But her songs were less appealing, and the Dom's clientele often laughed through her set. She was eventually accompanied on guitar by Tim Buckley, and then by Jackson Browne, who had just arrived in New York. Browne became enamored with Nico, and before they fell out—she accused him of harassing her with obscene phone calls—he gave her two songs: “The Fairest of the Seasons” and “These Days,” both of which appeared on her 1967 début, “Chelsea Girl.”-

There was a time when the existence of the giant panda was nothing more than legend. A fairytale to those in the western world. Whispers of a black and white beast echoed around the early 1900s. In this episode, my conversation mixes three of my favorite things - bears, mystery, and adventure as I hear an incredible story that Dr Nathalia Holt tells in her book The Beast in the Clouds: The Roosevelt Brothers’ Deadly Quest to Find the Mythical Giant Panda. But this story is about way more than just two brothers’ dangerous search for a mystery species in a strange part of the world. It’s also about the moment in history when humans began to understand their real impact on the natural world. A realization that led to the birth of the modern conservation movement. Oh, and there might be some Himalayan bandits and bone-chilling blizzards along the way!
