Fluent Fiction - Serbian: Balancing the Past and Future: A Riverbank Medical Drama Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sr/episode/2025-11-27-23-34-02-sr Story Transcript:Sr: Листови су шумели на ветру, а Дрина је тихо текла поред импровизоване болнице.En: The leaves rustled in the wind, and the Drina quietly flowed past the improvised hospital.Sr: Јесење боје украшавале су обале реке, док је унутар шатора врило од активности.En: The autumn colors adorned the riverbanks, while inside the tent, it was bustling with activity.Sr: Млади медик Никола, са забринутошћу у очима, журно је прегледао пацијенте.En: Young medic Nikola, with concern in his eyes, was hurriedly examining the patients.Sr: Уз њега је стајала Вера, искусна медицинска сестра која је много видела и знала.En: Beside him stood Vera, an experienced nurse who had seen and knew a lot.Sr: Николин следећи пацијент била је Јована.En: Nikola's next patient was Jovana.Sr: Њена повреда зглоба дошла је након жестоке утакмице на локалном фудбалском терену.En: Her ankle injury came after an intense match on the local football field.Sr: "Морам се брзо вратити на терен", упорно је понављала, иако јој је бол на лицу говорио другачије.En: "I have to get back on the field quickly," she kept repeating, even though the pain on her face said otherwise.Sr: Била је нестрпљива и није желела дуго да чека.En: She was impatient and didn't want to wait long.Sr: Вера је гледала Николу са скепсом.En: Vera looked at Nikola with skepticism.Sr: „Не заборави, понекад су стари начини најбољи,“ саветовала је док бацајући краћи поглед на истрошене залихе.En: "Don't forget, sometimes the old ways are the best," she advised while casting a brief glance at the worn supplies.Sr: Али Никола је знао шта је важно – здрава и безбедна опоравак Јоване.En: But Nikola knew what was important – a healthy and safe recovery for Jovana.Sr: Његова обука га је научила новим техникама које Вера можда није разматрала.En: His training had taught him new techniques that Vera might not have considered.Sr: Дилема је стајала пред њим.En: A dilemma stood before him.Sr: Да ли да следи Верине савете или да ризикује са новим методом коју је недавно научио?En: Should he follow Vera's advice or take a risk with the new method he had recently learned?Sr: Док су сатови отицали, а залихе се смањивале, Никола је осетио притисак одлуке.En: As the hours passed and supplies dwindled, Nikola felt the pressure of the decision.Sr: На крају се одлучио.En: In the end, he made his choice.Sr: Користећи технику коју је научио на последњем семинару, почео је да опрезно стабилизује Јованин зглоб.En: Using a technique he had learned at the last seminar, he began carefully stabilizing Jovana's ankle.Sr: Његове руке су биле мирне, али срце је куцало брже.En: His hands were steady, but his heart beat faster.Sr: Вера је пажљиво гледала, спремна да интервенише ако буде било потребно.En: Vera watched closely, ready to intervene if necessary.Sr: Када је завршио, Јована се осећала боље.En: When he finished, Jovana felt better.Sr: "Хвала, Никола.En: "Thank you, Nikola.Sr: Осећам се сигурније," рекла је уз осмех, додирујући свој сада стабилан зглоб.En: I feel more secure," she said with a smile, touching her now stabilized ankle.Sr: Њена жеља да брзо и безбедно опорави била је задовољена.En: Her desire for a quick and safe recovery was fulfilled.Sr: Вера, која је посматрала цео процес, полако је климнула главом.En: Vera, who had observed the entire process, slowly nodded her head.Sr: „Добро обављено, Ники.En: "Well done, Niki.Sr: Понекад нови начини ипак донесу добре резултате,“ признала је, дајући му мали знак поштовања.En: Sometimes new ways do bring good results," she admitted, giving him a small sign of respect.Sr: Са Јованине уверености и Вериним одобравањем, Никола је стекао више самопоуздања.En: With Jovana's confidence and Vera's approval, Nikola gained more confidence.Sr: Научио је важну лекцију – како ускладити традицију и иновацију за добробит својих пацијената.En: He had learned an important lesson – how to balance tradition and innovation for the benefit of his patients.Sr: Док је сунце залазило изнад Дрине, Никола је знао да је направио корак напред у својој медицинској каријери.En: As the sun set over the Drina, Nikola knew he had taken a step forward in his medical career.Sr: шта значи người?En: Regarding your question, "người" is a Vietnamese word often translated to "person" or "people" in English.

Local leaders gathered for a Veterans Day service in downtown Indianapolis this Tuesday morning. Workers are now preparing the Columbus riverbank for revitalization and repair. Indiana residents only have until the end of this year to save money on rooftop solar. Indiana Senate Republican leaders have so far said there is not enough support to redraw the state's congressional districts to favor their party.

In this episode of The Articulate Fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash sits down with Dave Huff, the driving force behind Whuff Rod Co. and founder of the Kentucky River Musky Classic tournament.Guest Expertise: From Custom Rod Builder to Industry InnovatorDave Huff brings a unique perspective to fly rod design through his background in industrial design and mentorship under legendary rod builder Mike Arnold from the Northern Kentucky Fly Fishers.

Learn about his commitment to organic growth over flash marketing, his unique $65 full rod replacement warranty policy and why he believes affordable quality rods ($179-$459 price points) can democratize fly fishing access.Featured Techniques: Mid-Flex Rod Design for Musky FishingDave explains why traditional saltwater rods repurposed for musky fishing fail when throwing "wet socks at tree stumps." His River Wolf 11-weight and complete lineup from 3-weight to 12-weight prioritize all-day casting comfort and fish-fighting capability over stiffness.Kentucky River Musky Classic InsightsGet inside details on this growing tournament that went from 21 teams in year one to 112 anglers in year two, despite historic flooding challenges. Dave shares how the event supports Muskies Inc. Chapter 52 conservation efforts and influences state fisheries management decisions.Upcoming Innovations and Trade Show CircuitLearn about the upcoming "Destination Series" mid-priced rods and Dave's ambitious three-pack rod bundles for saltwater slam fishing. Plus, find out where to catch Whuff Rod Co. at 2026 trade shows and the new Whuff Pack YouTube series.Ready to discover how thoughtful rod design and authentic business practices are reshaping the fly fishing industry?

Last Summer, MGL shared a very exciting secret with me. A year on, it is with no small amount of delight that I can now finally cease my silence! In Maya's words:“I have written a book about Portly the Otter, son of Otter from The Wind in the Willows. It is modelled on Kenneth Grahame's original, as a series of riverbank stories, and features characters we all know and love, as well as introducing you to some new ones. The book is called The Adventures of Portly the Otter - Untold Tales from The Wind in the Willows and will answer a mystery I wondered about a lot as a child, which is - what really happened to Portly for him to be missing for so long, and end up - discovered by Ratty and Moley,- curled up between the cloven hooves of the god Pan? The book is illustrated by the fabulous Polly Dunbar and will be printed as a four colour hardback gift book in March 2026 by Farshore. I cannot tell you what a joy it has been to revisit the riverbank and spend time with the much beloved Ratty, Moley, Badger, and of course the mischievous Mr Toad, but the biggest delight of all has been spending a year researching and learning about otters.” Hosted on Acast.

          Saul was at Kubla Autumn a new game con taking place over Veteran's Day which is celebrated here in the U.S. on November 11th.  Right when he got there he sat in a seminar the dealt with the future of boardgames. In that seminar they talked about Cozy games.  Saul immediately thought of Cozy RPGs.  Saul noticed a lot of RPGs that would fit under this genre.  He talked to Jolene about it and discussed the subject.       This episode is the result of that conversation.  Saul list five RPGs that he thought would fit under the genre of Cozy.   His criteria was not always correct and indeed some of those discussed may not fit in Saul's Cozy criteria.  After the episode Saul has noticed another "cozy" game on Kickstarter called Riverbank.        Thank you all for Listening      Web Art by Jim Foster      Episode Art by Michael Shean-Jones      Music by Al Pegon, song Five O'Clock Tea,  off the album Bad One T    Available from Tribeofnoise.com    Used Under the Creative Commons License 3.0    https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

In Joshua 3, we hear how the Israelites are on the riverbank, ready to cross into the promised land. The only question is, are they willing to step in faith into this new reality?    

In late 2024, Rachel Hernandez ran a successful campaign to become mayor of Riverbank, California. A small town at the top of the state's central valley, Riverbank may not fit into what you imagine as California. There are no beaches or Hollywood signs here. The town follows the rhythm of the harvest with workers passing through following the crops. If Riverbank isn't your typical California town, Rachel Hernandez isn't your typical mayor. But she doesn't shy away from that fact. Hernandez has made her identity a central part of her governing and campaigning. She's young. She's Latina. She's the daughter of immigrants. She's a renter, not a homeowner. In this way, she represents exciting generational changes in who is claiming stewardship of American cities and towns. How does she do it? The answer is actually pretty simple: partnerships. This episode of Building Local Power features Rachel Hernandez sharing her insights on all that and more. Have a listen to what the future of local governance looks like.

It's an afternoon in late April along the Clark Fork River near Missoula, Montana, USA. The song of the tall dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum) isn't obvious, like the red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus) that are singing in the aspen grove on the other side of the river, or the European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) that are nesting in the cavities of the cottonwoods. But the dogbane has a song, too, a song it sings with the wind. I can hear it this afternoon as last year's dead stalks whisper and rustle in the breeze…This month's story is all about tall dogbane, what makes this plant special to me, and (more broadly) how plants can help us. In this podcast, we follow a dogbane patch along Missoula, Montana's Clark Fork River from spring into summer. As usual, we hear a variety of natural sounds that I recorded for the story, including wind, rain, and insects in the dogbane patch, plus red-winged blackbirds, European starlings, yellow warblers (Setophaga petechia), Wilson's warblers (Cardellina pusilla), and western wood-pewees (Contopus sordidulus). In this episode, I make mention of a video by Sarah Corrigan of Roots School about gathering dogbane fibers. You can find that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5vPyRWGvDs.As always, I depend on the support of my listeners to continue doing this work.

In this candid conversation, nonprofit transition specialist Naomi Hattaway shares how she learned to stop taking on work that drained her energy and started building a practice true to her expertise. From setting "riverbank boundaries" that protect your time while maintaining flexibility, to transforming her communication style with 20-minute meetings and voice messages, Naomi offers practical strategies for consultants ready to level up their business boundaries. Plus, she opens up about her journey to finally paying herself formally after 10 years in business, driven by a powerful personal mission.If you've ever struggled with saying no to work outside your zone of genius or worried about damaging relationships by setting limits, this episode is your permission slip to reshape your consulting practice.

Naomi shares actionable examples of how to communicate boundaries professionally, refer work strategically, and build a business that serves both you and your clients better.5 Key Takeaways:Define Your Lane Clearly Your reputation grows stronger when you're known for specific, focused work rather than trying to be everything to everyoneSet "Riverbank" Boundaries Think of boundaries like riverbanks—firm enough to keep things flowing but flexible enough to adapt naturallyCommunicate Limits Upfront From 20-minute meetings to asynchronous communication, set expectations early about how you work bestMake Strategic Referrals Build relationships with other consultants who can handle work outside your zone of geniusProtect Your Reputation Be intentional about which projects you take on—they shape how others talk about your workFind Us Online:  https://www.confessionswithjessandcindy.comConnect with Naomi:  Naomi's Website:https://www.naomihattaway.com/ LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/naomihattaway Podcast: https://www.naomihattaway.com/podcast Connect with Cindy:Cindy Wagman Coaching: cindywagman.comFractional Fundraising Network: fractionalfundraising.co/LinkedIn: ca.linkedin.com/in/cindywagmanConnect with Jess:Out In the Boons: outintheboons.meLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jesscampbelloutntiheboons/Resources:Hood Wellness by Tamela J.

A collected series of intertwined poetic essays written by acclaimed Japanese poet Hiromi Ito--part nature writing, part travelogue, part existential philosophy. Written between April 2012 and November 2013, Tree Spirits Grass Spirits (Nightboat Books, 2023) adopts a non-linear narrative flow that mimics the growth of plants, and can be read as a companion piece to Ito's beloved poem "Wild Grass on the Riverbank". Rather than the vertiginously violent poetics of the latter, Tree Spirits Grass Spirits serves as what we might call a phyto-autobiography: a recounting of one's life through the logic of flora. Ito's graciously potent and philosophical prose examines immigration, language, gender, care work, and death, all through her close (indeed, at times obsessive) attention to plant life. For a better understanding of this collection and the author, the following books are recommended by translator Dr. Jon Pitt: Hiromi Ito - Wild Grass on the Riverbank Hiromi Ito - The Thorn Puller Robin Wall Kimmerer - Braiding Sweetgrass Hope Jahren - Lab Girl Jeanie Shinozuka - Biotic Borders Banu Subrahmaniam - Ghost Stories for Darwin Learn more about your ad choices.

Over the centuries the River Quoile has carried Vikings, steam ships and cargoes of coal and timber from as far afield as the Baltic and Canada. Today it's a river for leisure pursuits – popular with canoeists, anglers and wildlife enthusiasts.Cadogan Enright is a councillor, environmental campaigner and chairman of the local canoe club. He takes Helen Mark out on the river to sing its praises, but also to point out concerns. He tells her that Downpatrick and the surrounding countryside were prone to tidal flooding in the past, but now the threat comes from the land - with increasing winter storms leaving the land saturated. Helen meets Robert Gardiner, chairman of the railway museum, who shows her how the water flooded their exhibition gallery last year and has threatened the museum's financial future.Back on the riverbank, Helen meets Stephen O'Hare, a member of the River Quoile Trust which campaigns for improvements to the river. He shows her the remains of quays along the riverbank, which were once busy dockside areas for cross channel steam ships during the industrial revolution. Trade died out because of the unpredictability of the tides and the difficulties of navigating Strangford Lough out to the Irish sea, and came to a halt in 1957 when a flood barrier was built at the mouth of the river.As for the Vikings – they haven't quite disappeared. Viking historian Philip Campbell and a group of enthusiasts have built a re-enactment village and a replica longship which they sail on stretches of the Quoile. He tells Helen that, as its dragon head noses through the waters which wind around the gentle drumlin countryside, he is filled with appreciation for the beauty of the river and its importance through the centuries.Produced by Kathleen Carragher
